This tour was fantastic! We flew with Pilot/Captain Kirk. From start to finish we felt safe, as the employees show you a safety video, then walk you out to the helicopter in a single file line and call you one by one to show you your seat assignment. Pilot Kirk was very professional and highly personable. From the moment we entered the helicopter he explained when we would be leaving, as there was a bit of air traffic that day. Then once up in the air he explained everything that we were seeing and flying over, and included a few bits of Hawaiian history. Flying over Molokai was outrageous. The lush valleys were awe inspiring, but the waterfalls were insanely gorgeous. The description of this tour says that you will see waterfalls that are inaccessible by land and they do not exaggerate! We actually flew into the deepest part of the volcano (lush and green--unlike the desert-like Haleakala), and seeing those ridges and peaks up close was a truly amazing sight.

The hangar was very modern and clean. The woman who checked me in was very friendly, all of the staff members were very personable and professional. This truly was an amazing experience. This trip cost about $1000 for a family of 4. They do have a video of your flight that you can purchase after you land. It is narrated by your pilot and probably has all the awesome music that was played during your flight. I generally hate sales pitches, but this one wasn't painful. They showed us our pictures and a sample of the video, but weren't pushy at all. The one thing that I didn't like and felt was tacky was the $5 parking fee. Since people are paying a MINIMUM of $250 per person for this experience I feel the helicopter company could provide us with a complimentary voucher. All in all, this was a great experience. If your budget allows for it you should splurge and treat yourself to this amazing journey.

Thank you for the wonderful and thorough review! Kirk is an excellent pilot and tour guide. As for the parking I totally agree but unfortunately it is part of the state parking policies (like parking at the airport). We pay monthly as well and it by individual car so cannot provide a voucher. This is for all companies at the heliport. I hope you have a wonderful time here in the islands!

The tour company made the experience very easy. The pilot, Captain Kirk, provided informative and entertaining narratives. The views were breathtaking and could be seen from both sides of the helicopter. Safety was the main concern and each guest is treated very well. This tour is well worth the time and money and this company is is very well-respected.

Was such an amazing experience! First time ever in a helicopter and it did not disappoint. Make sure you wear darker clothing to minimize your reflection and charge up your batteries. There are amazing views, even got some whale sightings towards the end of the flight. Pilot Nathan was cool enough to go towards them for better viewing. I am sensitive to motion sickness so I would take some Dramamine beforehand. It can hit some bumpy parts and also have some stomach dropping moments but all very exciting. Would definitely recommend and do another one again!

We were disappointed with Air Maui Tours after an excellent helicopter tour on Oahu with another company 2 days prior. 4 grown adults were very tightly packed in the back seat with a young newlywed couple packed onto a front seat next to the pilot. We had very little room to turn to get photos or be comfortable. We were on the right side of the helicopter behind the pilot & with most of the flight being counter clockwise especially around West Maui, we saw very little looking over the other adults on the left. The door on the left was mostly clear of obstacles but the right door had a black bar & vent on the glass that obstructed views along with a fire extinguisher next to the door that reflected off the window when taking any pictures. When we returned we politely expressed our disappointment as this was a gift to my wife for our 25th wedding anniversary. I was told seating is not based on special occasions. We were not offered a 2nd flight or a refund. We were only offered a thumb drive video of the flight to see what we missed after we purchased a photo for $25. Very poor customer service when we expressed our disappointment.

I am sorry to hear you were disappointed in the tour. Seating is done by a weight and balance and we do try to stress to all that we need accurate body weights when booking to ensure everyone is comfortable and can take photos. The helicopter cabin is very small. All pilots are told to do a few turns throughout the flight to be sure that both sides get a chance to take photos and get a good view. I will be sure to share this with our chief pilot to remind them of this. Thank you for the feedback.

this is a review solely for the staff working. We drove 1 hour to get to our helicopter reservation only to be turned away literally 2 mins after I paid. They cited bad weather which I completely understand. My bad review is based on the staff for not reaching out to us to inform us of this. Wasted an entire two hours round trip driving on our vacation. They did not even offer to refund the parking we paid 5 mins prior as well. I’m sure it’s a fantastic tour….. if you actually get to go on. Not happy at all. Complete waste of a morning.

I do apologize for the last minute cancellation but the weather here in the islands can change very quickly and can be hard to predict in advance. Many days we go flight by flight hour by hour because from one hour to the next it can change dramatically. I am sure you and many others were on their way or already checked in and worst case this can happen where we have to cancel last minute. In the end we will not take you on a flight if the weather is unsafe to fly in or not going to be worth the price you paid. I am sorry you felt time was wasted on vacation which I completely understand. In the end we are all human and our staff do try their best to handle rescheduling and cancellations the best they can considering we typically accommodate on average 100+ people a day.

What a great experience! Yes not cheap but worth every penny. It was our first flight, therefore also Door ON flight is already cool. Our Captain, Captain Kirk was an experienced, fun Pilot which provided many additional insights and kept us entertained the full flight - he even spotted a wale. And the landscapes and the beauty is simply amazing.

Our pilot Cameron was so engaged, remembering everyone's name and addressing interesting narration to each person by name at least once (felt more engaging, and I'm sure our 9 year olds dug that). The music he picked was awesome and complimentary, his knowledge was great and appreciated. The tour itself was insanely awesome. 45 minutes was a good amount of time for us with the young kids, and worth every penny. It was raining which only increased the waterfalls we saw. I highly recommend the tour and Air Maui - great booking and flight experience from beginning to end.

I started off my trip with this tour and it was the highlight of my trip. Captain Cameron did a great job presenting amazing views of Maui and I felt safe about 99.9% of the time. I did the door-on version and the helicopter had plenty and room. The staff was also very friendly during check-in.

There was a mix up between the agent and Air Maui regarding the trip that I had purchased for me and my family of four. Air Maui was very unreceptive to the fact and insisted that we take the tour they had incorrectly booked me on and further insisted that the only option I had was to take the tour or leave the helicopter with no refund or offer of the trip I had booked and paid for. The service I received was aggressive and unpleasant. In fairness, the pilot successfully delivered the (different) tour but the experience was severely impacted by the approach of Air Maui. In my experience companies often show their true colours when things go wrong therefore my advice would be to select a one of the several other companies when booking a helicopter trip of a lifetime with your family. My agent 'Snorkel Bob's', in contract made every effort to resolve the issue.

Aloha Russell, Again we apologize for the understandable frustration in you not getting the doors off flight you told your agent at Snorkel Bobs you wanted. When you checked in we had you booked on the same route with the doors ON. When boarding you mentioned to our dispatch you wanted the doors off so we double checked your voucher you received from Snorkel Bobs which stated the doors on. You paid for the flight that the agent booked you on which was doors on. In this case we did not book you on the wrong flight it sounds like a mis-communication between you and the Snorkel Bob's agent. We did apologize if at the time of boarding it was unpleasant but the option was to go on the flight you paid for and were booked on or not go but the seats were non-refundable. Being it was already departure time this left very few options. Had you double checked your voucher ticket or called us ahead of time to check there might have been more options to offer. Again I understand your frustration but sounds like this was a simple mis-communication between you and your agent. We simply put you on the flight your agent asked us for.

We flew with Vince on 1/23/23 and could not have had a better experience. Vince was very personable and knowledgeable about the islands history, geography, and animals. The views were so beautiful and we saw parts of Maui and Molokai that you can only see from a helicopter. Waterfalls, sea cliffs, whales, turtles, sharks,reefs. Pro tip: get the front seat - it’s worth it!!!
