The pilot - Dylan was polite and very knowledgeable of the air current conditions. I am a licensed commercial pilot and I don’t give compliments easily - Dylan made all the right decisions- awesome trip. The chopper was well powered to handle up and down drafts.

We had an amazing time with Captain Cameron seeing West Maui and Molokai during a 3 pm flight; the views were spectacular, Elephant (well, Turtle) Rock was unique, and having the opportunity to see some waterfalls up close and fly through the lush green valleys was something everyone should see. The oceanfront landing was a perfect photo op, and we couldn't have asked for a smoother ride. It was a blast! It was nice to preview the video of our trip when we got back to the office so we could see some of the scenery and hear Captain Cameron's narrative; naturally we had to buy it for $60 (cash) so we have a great souvenir of this wonderful tour!

Ernie made our Road to Hana tour the perfect day! He made us feel completely safe on this hairpin turn winding road, which should not be driven by tourists. His warmth and charm enhanced the extraordinary natural beauty of Maui. I very highly recommend booking this tour with Ernie for a not to be missed Hawaii experience. Mahalo Ernie!

SCAM ALERT: We had our original reservation changed due to bad weather (ordered champagne full island tour). They offered to fully refund to us AFTER we arrived ($200 taxi round trip). Due to being in the hole $200 we agreed to a modified Molokai tour for $319 person by the receptionist Had an amazing time actually and the pilots were great. I get home from my Hawaii trip and check my credit card and was charged $399 a person. I called 3 times to try to get a refund and they basically run you in circle and promise to call back. They keep mentioning they kept me in the air longer. NO ONE called me back even though records said they tried. Apparently receptionists can lie to you. Unfortunately learned a life lesson to ask for a physical receipt before leaving and not trust blue Hawaiian concierge where I originally booked. Now I'm forced to leave bad reviews and have pending dispute for a refund from my credit card. DONT TRUST any prices they offer.
