Unforgettable and fantastic experience! - Incredible experience, spectacular scenery throughout the flight. Increased sensations with a door-off flight!
The original flight had been postponed the day before, due to the wind and we thank the Mauna Loa team for their professionalism.

Unforgettable Anniversary Experience - This by far was one of the best activity we did on the Island. Our pilot was very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable. Safety was their main priority and we felt safe. First time with the doors off. I would highly recommend these folks. You really need to see the island from this advantage point. Everyone was great from the ladies in the office to the staff on the ground and of course our pilot. Thank you for making our 35th anniversary so memorable.

Great views, great pilot - Everyone we interacted with was amazing. Easy instructions, clear idea of what to expect. Handling of weather was done well during the Kona low and rain, and they told us the schedule so we felt confident we could fit in the tour before we left the island in the afternoon for our flight.
Amazing views of the whole island of Kauai were a great compliment to end our trip. It was incredible to see all the major sights of the island in an hour, and great to go into the volcano and see the sheer cliffs all around you.
Chris was our pilot. Flew in the R44. We had pretty smooth conditions but it is very windy so definitely wear a long sleeve, if you bring a DSLR camera take the hood off.
For your phone they’ll screw it into a phone holder and loop it around your wrist.

Greatest experience ever! - Amazing flight. Jake was a great pilot and guide. Smooth ride!! Pointed out landmarks and talked about the history of the island. Loved the theme music at Jurassic Falls! Doors off was perfect for the 2 of us to both experience views and capture amazing photos. No better way to see Napali coast, waterfalls and the full island.

Open Door was a special experience. - We had the back two seats and because of the open doors we had a great view. The pilot did an extra lap at the most important points so that we could both see everything well. Tight-fitting clothing makes a lot of sense.

An Adventure You’ll Never Forget! - Absolutely amazing! The doors-off flight made it feel like we were soaring through paradise. Smooth, safe, and exhilarating from start to finish. The scenery—towering waterfalls, lush valleys, dramatic cliffs, and sparkling coastline—was breathtaking at every turn. A must-do for anyone visiting Kauai!
