Birthday Flight 10/10. This was amazing. I’m terrified of flying and the thought of going up in a helicopter made me nauseous but it all faded away quickly. Our pilot Dylan was fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had literally the perfect curated playlist for this flight. Take off and landing were flawless and he showed us amazing sights up close that you otherwise wouldn’t get to see. The staff at Air Maui were kind and friendly. They even helped us out easily with a photo mishap. I would fly with them again in a heartbeat

What an experience Great experience! Our pilot, Papa Richie was very knowledgeable of the island. I was nervous about going but he has a calming that makes you know it’s going to be a great experience, and it was. I’d highly recommend even for. Chickens. I did it you can too. You won’t regret it.

Great flight Great pilot beautiful flight. Very knowledgeable. Doors off can be windy from the prop wash but I definitely recommend it. Richey gets you right up close to the waterfalls and places that you just can’t get to on foot.

Highly recommended tour to Molokai Captain Kirk flew us to incredibly beautiful places. Molokai is breathtakingly beautiful and untouched wild. The tour was worth their money.

Bucket list tour The best way to see the island!! This is our first time in Hawaii. We knew we wouldn't get to do and see everything during this trip, so we decided to see as much as possible from the air! The staff and crew at Air Maui were amazing. Our pilot, Dylan, did such a great job explaining the sites and history of Maui. I can't recommend this company and excursion enough!!!
