Perfect way to see the island - My grandmother and I did the 50 minute waterfall tour. We were amazed at everything we were able to see from up these in just a 50 minute tour. We also splurged for the video. I was a little disappointed that I was not visible in the video due to the person in front of me blocking the camera. Especially given the steep price. But it was still nice seeing the views from the video.

Must see Maui from the air - Staff at the airport was friendly and helpful. Safety briefing was taken seriously and had plenty of time for questions. Helicopter was clean and appeared to be well maintained. We could watch from from the terminal some of the preflight inspection. Staff escorted all 6 of us to the Helicopter, strapped us in a 4 point harness, helped with our radio headsets. This crew on the ground took our Safety seriously, thank you all! Our pilot Matt, was friendly and well versed on the sights. As I was a flight instructor (a long time ago), Matt provided a safe comfortable ride. Never too close to the terrain or into the clouds. We opted for the front seats($$), well worth it The scenery, wow, words can't do it justice. I'm financially a "tight wad". This trip was lots of $. Was it worth it? ABSOLUTELY

Fantastic experience. I Strongly recommend to take any tour depending on your budget. It is must do in Hawaii. - Amazing trip! I recommend helicopter flights! It’s one of the best experiences of my life. Views are incredible. Flight is smooth and comfortable. Crew is chatty and very nice . Definitely will do that again when will be in Hawaii next time . It’s one of those feeling you can’t replicate in any other way. Just have to be there and experience it.

Best whale watch ever!! - Our naturalist Richard, Captain D and Anna were totally amazing. Richard amazed us with his vast whale knowledge and enthusiasm about whales. We had incredible whale watch with seeing several groups of whales and a whale that breached 10 times and did 6 pectoral fin waves

Awesome Tour - The helicopter ride and tour was great! We flew over west Maui and across the ocean to Molokai. On Molokai we saw world’s highest sea cliffs, waterfalls, valleys and the largest fringing reef in the US. Beautiful scenery! Marco was a great pilot and tour guide. Would highly recommend this tour.
