Fly West Maui to Molokai in 45 minutes for small-group helicopter views of towering sea cliffs, waterfalls, rainforests, and live narration.
“Sites were beautiful. Pilot did a good job. Helicopter was packed tightly and not conducive to photos. Helicopters of their competitors were more spacious with a smoother ride and better site lines. They were not able to offer a video of the flight. Something wrong with their equipment.”

“I had a very disappointing and frankly frightening experience with Air Maui’s doors-off helicopter ride. Despite active wind advisory conditions, they refused to cancel the flight. The weather was extremely windy, the ride was aggressively bumpy, and visibility was poor due to fog. What was marketed as an exciting scenic experience turned into a stressful…”

“Was an incredible experience! We got to see 2 whales which was pure luck, dolphins, a turtle, and the most beautiful coral reef I’ve seen. It was so nice to be in a smaller group. The ride was super fun and bumpy though so if you get sea sick/motion sickness this one probably isn’t for…”

Our captains were kind, considerate, helpful, full of knowledge around the places we went. We got to see spinner dolphins, tons of fish, coral gardens,…”
Half-day Lanai snorkel from Kaanapali with dolphin search, two reef stops, included gear, and breakfast—plus real odds for whales in season.
“We stayed in Lahaina so Lanai meant a hour less drive time to Molokini but about almost an hour longer boat ride. Trip was rough but boat is made to handle it. Reefs were fantastic and worth the trip. Staff was phenomenal. Much more personal than the big nboats.”
