And if you are interested in flying with us, here is what some of our guests have to say about their experiences:

“Air Maui is terrific! I have flown other companies on almost all of the islands but on Maui these are the guys! First and foremost, their safety record is spotless! You should just stop there and book…seriously. They were so accommodating to me and my family on a very busy week (4th of July week) and found a spot for me on a Friday to see the crater and east side of the island. They were booked solid when I called and found us a spot. My 4-year old boy was up front with dad and the ride and the views of the crater were nothing less than mind blowing and spectacular! You cannot get those views from the shuttles up and bike ride down. My family really enjoyed the ride and the fun facts along the way with Captain Kirk! (yes, really his name) When we landed and back in the building they were going to show us the footage but the video camera didn’t record. They were so cool they just gave us the family pic of us in front of the bird for free! Great customer service Air Maui! We’ll be back!” – Brett W

“Our pilot, Dylan, was great. We saw sights you could only imagine along the coast and valleys from Maui to Molokai, from beaches to waterfalls to sheer cliffs. The team on deck was very professional and pleasant. We highly recommend it.” – Zig L

“Thrilling ride, beautiful vistas, excellent customer service, friendly staff, went like clockwork. Loved the expressions on our teens’ faces during their first helicopter flight. Great photos. Our pilot Cameron was awesome.” – Patti G

“Kurt our Pilot was amazing. We saw multiple Islands in 45 minutes. He was very competent and funny and made us have the best time. Totally worth it.” – Chantal S
