About the operator
- Z1577RRlouises00Great Family ExperienceExcellent trip - pilot and the whole team made sure it was a great experience. We had to change the flight based on changing weather conditions - but we still ended up with a wonderful flight of the island.
- angelapN8365BR00Easy, reschedule and refunds during 2023 wildfiresWe actually had to cancel our ride because of the August 2023 wildfires. Initially we rescheduled and Air Maui was very accommodating. Finally, when we were in the process of evacuating Maui, they called us to verify and gave us a complete refund. Thank you, Air Maui. I will definitely book with you again!!!
- travelizity00Uplifting, knowledgeable, full of heartUplifting, knowledgeable and heartfelt, that is how I would describe feeling flying with this company. AirMaui assisted me on a special flight to regain access to medication while delivering much needed supplies to others stranded on West Maui. The team is superb organizationally, and is top-notch navigationally. When you start calling companies, you just never know which company will align with you. When other companies could not make things happen for me, THIS company made it happen — they are experienced and knew a way! Next time I am in Hawaii and need a helicopter tour, Air Maui is my immediate “go to”. Located conveniently at the Heliport, right near the Kahului Airport. Plenty of parking available.
- michellefI2514JL00Best tour ever!This exceptional tour was by far our favorite adventure for my sons and I! It was our first time to Maui and our pilot exceeded our expectations. He was so knowledgeable, cool and calm and quite entertaining! Mahalo to Air Maui for the greatest time.
- Sylvia G00Amazing!This was seriously the most amazing experience! Even better than I could've imagined. The views you get ate incredible!
- Becky B00Fabulous!The whole experience was FABULOUS. The music coordinated perfectly to our journey and it felt like we were in a movie. Our pilot was knowledgeable, combined with a quick wit and dry sense of humor. He was able to maneuver us 360 degrees inside the crater. The photos are spectacular and I’m sure that the video is even better. This was our first excursion in Maui and it certainly raised the bar for what’s to come, but it also gave us the perfect overview of the whole island. I’d recommend this experience to anyone coming to Maui- and book it as early in your trip as you can.
- Road5703199630300Highly recommendThe ride was amazing. Cameron the pilot was very informative. The views were stunning. We would highly recommend this to other people.
- rickysN4701WS00Awesome Experience!Vince was awesome and the crew at Air Maui were very welcoming. The sights you see are one of a kind and the information Vince provided about the history of the island was insightful. It’s a no-brainer, book a flight!
- staceyb0200Great tripGreat trip! Vince was an excellent and knowledgeable pilot. We learned so much and experienced seeing beautiful islands from a different view.
- R1366VTbrianc00Best Experience/Company out thereUnbelievable!! The doors-off tour was definitely worth it. Richie was very knowledgeable, experienced, and told great jokes! Pictures of the views do not do justice. You have to experience this for yourself. Highly recommend this company!
- 527aydina00Worth every penny! Just Do It...Our most amazing experience of the Maui vacation. Vince was our pilot and he was super friendly and knowledgeable. We had the 60 min hour. Due to weather conditions, we could not do the Haleakala Crater but he took us to another island with magnificent views of coral reefs and waterfalls. Air Maui is a highly professionally run company. I will highly recommend having the no-door helicopter ride since when taking pictures, the reflection is an issue even though we put dark clothes on. We all really enjoyed the tour a lot. I highly recommend Air Maui.
- Patti G00Great experienceThrilling 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.
- sbhatt201800Worth the price!Amazing experience. 5 star from beginning to end. Pilot Vince did a great job making it fun and informative.
- quartz500Fathers DayWe had a great time and saw the whole island. Beautiful scenery, our pilot explained the terrain- we totally recommend this flight and company to everyone- Mahalo 😊
- 782racheller00Thrilling!I am so happy my partner and I decided to do this because it was absolutely and amazing experience! I sat on the outer seat on the doors off helicopter and it was incredible. VERY windy! The views are incredible. Richie was our pilot and he had lots of “dad jokes” and facts about the island to share.

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.

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.

Pilot Jim is a gem! He was, first and foremost, a real pro! He was also funny, fun, safety oriented, and reassuring to those with a bit of fear. Purchased the extra video / picture package and it captured the tour perfectly, much better than any pictures we took during the flight. Highly recommend this tour!!!!!

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.

On arrival clouds were gathering and there were wind gusts of around 30mph. We wondered if the trip would be cancelled. Our safety brief went ahead and others were taking off, so we were glad when our turn came.
Stepping into the helicopter, I realised how small it was, not the big ones I imagined, the benefits of this were obvious later on. We were introduced to our Captain Kirk (first name but, what a perfect name!) and he took off like there was no wind, so smooth.
Flying across to Molokai we were treated to Captain Kirk’s commentary or fun humour, with his voice made for National Geographic voice overs. We were then introduced to his amazing skills as a pilot, as we twisted and turned to get the best views, often it felt like we were close enough to reach out and touch the mountains and waterfalls.
Not for the faint hearted (2 of the 3 other passengers with us were not having the best time and eventually ended up sleeping for most the journey), we loved it and had the experience of a lifetime.
Thanks Captain Kirk and the team at Maui Helicopter Tours.

Absolutely beautiful excursion! Our pilot did an excellent job of touring through and over the falls and other breathtaking spots. Would love to experience again! The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star is because he (our pilot) appeared to be a tad lethargic. This caused just a little bit of “nervousness”. Other than that, a great trip!!

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.

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!

This tour was amazing and breathtaking. Our native Hawaiian pilot, Brodi was great, with in depth naration and flying skills that made the trip. A bit more time was spent over Molokai then West Maui, but it was worth it. The Sea cliffs and valleys of Molokai were the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen. I've been on a couple other helicopter tours in Hawaii, and this was by far the best visually.

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.

How up/down and droppy are helicopters? I don’t do well w amusement rides and big drops/ etc. I’ve heard they are smooth and amazing. Just super nervous about how scared/sick I could get. Looking to conquer a fear turning 50!

Our ride did have some dips and dives. My partner was a little motion sick, but he is very sensitive to that type of thing. My suggestion is to see if you can sit on a window instead of in the middle. It seemed the middle was a little worse for motion sickness.

I'm interested in a helicopter tour on or around March 2. I prefer a morning flight and see the flight is 45-minutes long...meet in advance, etc.
The time(s) are 7-12n. Are there specific 'leave' times or we should plan 5hrs?.?

I wanted the morning also because of the clouds in the afternoon. I clicked on the same times as you and got 11.30. Flight at noon.
I would advise a flight of the whole island or east Maui
Can you pick your morning time or afternoon time for the flight? We have reservations at 5:00 at a restaurant in Lahaina and would not want to be late

How do you do seat assignment? The middle seat in the back is worth much less than the two in front.
Great views from all seats. Assigned seats for even weight distribution.

As others said, you would need to call the company. Only ithey can give you the answer.
*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
