Flight over Kauai - It was a great experience and the R44 was very smooth considering the weather. Meg is a very good pilot and very knowledgeable about the area. I highly recommend the trip.

The views were so worth the price. - I would have to say during the week we stayed in Kauai, this was the best experience we had. The staff were kind and friendly. The helicopter pilot was super nice and informative. We did have an issue with one of the headsets didn't work. The view was incredible. I would give them a 5 out of 5.

Say yes to a helicopter flight with Mauna Loa - Wow! A helicopter ride over Oahu was the perfect way to start our stay in Hawaii. I booked our flight thru Mauna Loa several months in advance as it was an 80th. birthday gift to my husband.
Malia greeted us and prepped us for the ride before driving us to meet Lorenzo who was our young but very capable pilot. He made sure we understood the vital safety information before we took off. Lorenzo was very informative and pointed out both natural and man made sites. I chose to fly doors off while my husband preferred doors on. He is a convert and would fly doors off if we take another helicopter tour. You truly have not seen Hawaii until you have seen it from above.
Don’t hesitate about booking a flight while in Honolulu. Go online and check out Mauna Loa Helicopters as I am sure you will be thrilled to see Oahu from the air.

Great first time helicopter tour - Great experience, first time on helicopter tour, we were a little scary but all went great. Our pilot was great, weather was perfect 🙏🏻! With the tour we skipped the volcano day trip, we saw a lot on the helicopter!

Open air flight extraordinaire! - Walt was a super pilot and guide who pointed out all the amazing sights on Kauai. He flew us into some canyons to give us an up close view. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

10/10 would recommend - Best experience of my life doing anything ever! Way better than a big tour. Don't miss and this company it the tops! We went inside a crater under the clouds. It was so spectacular! I would have paid twice that!

Amazing way to see the island - The kids were mesmerized on this tour. An hour was a perfect amount of time to get a great feel for the scenery. Our pilot, Mike, did a great job of both flying and giving us highlights. Definitely recommend!

Worst experience ever. I would not recommend this company to anyone. - I booked this doors-off helicopter tour as a birthday gift for my partner during our first trip to Hawaii, expecting it to be one of the highlights of our vacation. Instead, it was ruined before it even started by the unbelievably rude woman working in the office. I stayed polite the entire time, but she treated us with attitude and made us feel unwelcome for absolutely no reason.
When people spend their hard-earned money on a once-in-a-lifetime experience, customer service should match the price. This company completely failed at that.
Save yourself the disappointment and book with one of the many other helicopter companies on Kauai. Customer service is everything, and this company clearly doesn’t understand that. What should have been a special memory turned into one I’ll remember for all the wrong reasons.
