I’m not sure if they really have a complete island tour bc they canceled me two times and offered me a Molokai -west maui tour instead.

A truly amazing Bucket List experience. Sherry and I had an awesome time with Nathan as our pilot. Sherry's first and my second helicopter tour and Nathan made both of us feel safe and comfortable from the start of the tour. Paying extra to sit in the front seat was well worth the money. The views are breathtaking, we were smiling for days after the tour. The office staff were very helpful and answered our numerous questions prior to booking the tour. We would highly recommend Air Maui for your Island tours and ask for Nathan, you will not be disappointed.

The pilot Drew made the whole experience amazing!
I went with daughter and as she’s pointing things out her window to me, Drew would say don’t worry I’ll swing around so you can have a better view.
He is also a local, so he showed us and told us so many interesting things from his experiences.
Drew flew right up to waterfalls so you could even see down them, pointed out a rainbow forming over Lahaina, and then said now let’s see if we can find whales at the end of the season and he did!
Best helicopter tour I’ve ever experienced!!

Trip of a lifetime. You'll get to see lots of waterfalls + inside the volcano, the observatory, mango groves, and fly over clouds, Hana & the ocean. There's music & pilot explanation accompaniment the whole way, and they'll make a video and 1 photo you can buy at the end. Staff was great leading up to the fly day and will hold your bag at the desk while you fly if needed; loved that they emailed directions. Our Uber driver's app had a tough time finding it, but my GoogleMaps keyed to the correct address fine. Wear dark clothes to avoid reflection on the windows to facilitate photo taking. Definitely worth the money, esp if you've never done a helicopter tour. Thanks, Air Maui!

All personnel were professional and knowledgeable. Only disappointment was we were in back seat right behind pilot and got VERY few pictures. For cost of ride, wish we could have taken home pics to share.
