We did a doors off flight with Chase. It was hands down one of the awesomest things that we have ever done. Definitely the highlight of our vacation! Favorite part of the flight...flying into the crater of the inactive volcano and being surrounded by waterfalls. Absolutely breathtaking!! Chase was fantastic, knew the answers to all our questions (he also said... More

We booked a 1 hour doors off helicopter tour. Booking via email was easy. We checked in for our flight as instructed. We were taken to the airfield where we met our pilot Clay. He explained some safety instructions etc and then we got into the helicopter. We spent approximately one hour flying across Kauai seeing all the beautiful scenery.... More

What an amazing adventure. Doors off added such a thrill for our honeymoon helicopter tour. I took hundreds of pictures. We did the 11am tour and the weather was perfect. I had done a lot of research months in advance on who to fly with and I can say I am so happy with this company. They were very friendly... More

I did some research of reviews before selecting the helicopter tour, Mauna Loa was great, I was so glad that I selected them; I highly recommend them. The advantage with them is you have a smaller helicopter which becomes a personalized tour, and everyone has an unrestricted view with no middle seat. The pilot we had, Chris, was great. Definitely... More

First off, I'm afraid of heights. So taking the doors off helicopter tour was " brave" for me! And it was Fabulous! Ok, ok, the first half hour I was white knuckled and my hands were almost permanently curled from gripping the front bar , but after a while I forgot to be afraid and was just clicking away taking...

Our pilot was Chris and we flew with the doors off. Amazing! I am terrified of heights, and wasn't scared a bit! I was glad I wore a jacket and pants as they suggested. I booked them because they were the only ones that would do a private tour, and I didn't want to get stuck in a middle seat.... More

We visited the island of Kauai the first week of March and sadly all water tours had been canceled because of rough sea conditions, in fact many beaches were closed for the same reason. We are so happy that we had booked a helicopter tour of the island through Mauna Loa (because of the 'private' flight and the doors off... More

If your going to Kauai, this is a must. It was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. My husband and I did and we just wanted to do it again as soon as we finished. I had read many reviews before booking online and liked the idea of private tour with doors off. We were not disappointed. We did... More

This helicopter tour was wonderful. This was our first trip to Kauai and although we wanted to take a helicopter tour, we wanted to take it with just the two of us and the pilot. We found these guys on line and weren't disappointed. Our pilot was Pete. He was excellent and calmed my initial apprehension. My wife flew with... More

We did this as a shore excursion while travelling on cruise ship Pride of America . This was easily the highlight of our trip even though we were not brave to fly with doors off (maybe next time) Having only my wife and I as passengers meant we had terrific views the entire time You will never see more spectacular...
