This was my first helicopter ride, and it was absolutely one of the most enjoyable and memorable travel experiences I’ve ever had. Kate, our pilot, was fantastic providing great information as we weaved our way through the canyons, mountains, fields and coasts. The tour made a stop at a mountain top owned by a Robinson descendant, and the views were breathtaking, which is an understatement. The tour even got as far as the Na Pali coast and Hanalei. We lucked out with great weather and visibility. I’ll certainly treasure the photos and videos I took for the rest of my life. I can’t recommend the tour any more highly. It’s expensive, but it’s easily worth it. The staff at the meeting location and office were just the friendliest people you could ever meet.

Carlos was excellent and so was the ride! This was my second time flying with maverick and they have always been exceptional! We were able to see many waterfalls and whales along with some history of the island. Worth every penny as you get to experience the island in a way you aren’t able to without a helicopter. 10/10 will definitely be back again next year!

Overall a good experience. It seems like we didn’t need to be picked up at 5am to sit on the bus for 45 minutes until the gate opens. Communicating that before and the reason would be helpful. Otherwise, it was a decent adventure for price and convenience to access the trail.

Wonderful crew made for a wonderful experience! Very friendly and hospitable, would highly recommend this excursion. The sunset was unreal and the sighting of whales just topped it off!

Amazing. Kate and Sherry were awesome. I want to try helicopter rides on every vacation!
