Pilot Laura was amazing. It was my first time on a helicopter and despite some gusty winds, she made sure the ride was smooth and comfortable so we could take steady videos. Her knowledge of the area and prompt descriptions were also very helpful. Definitely recommend this tour done with doors off. Also, it wasn't that cold, did it with shorts and flip flops. Views were amazing!

We had the most amazing pilot that was so knowledgeable. She was also very kind to the fact I was horrified of heights and was only doing the tour for my husband! She made sure I relaxed and enjoyed the tour. Would 100% recommend this company to anyone!

A very satisfied customer with everything from start to finish!
Checking in is smooth and straightforward & the tour itself is something I don't think I can even put into words.
We did the doors off tour and it was so unreal.
Just amazing. The views were like no other and our pilots Pascal & Hunter were very knowledgeable about the sights and hotspots. They made sure to give my fiance and myself a great view of each one.
I will never forget this experience, ever. Thank you.
PS. Make sure to bring a sweater! It gets cold with the doors off!!

First time on a helicopter ride and we had an awesome time! The views of Oahu were incredible. Our pilot was very informative and put us at ease immediately. We definitely were thrilled with this adventure.

During my visit to Honolulu, my friend suggested we take a helicopter tour. I’ve been on helicopters before (military & civilian) but never in Hawaii so I figured it would be fun. I checked online and found several places, Mauna Loa Helicopters had a great rating on TripAdvisor so I chose them. I booked the tour $415.08 per person for April 14, 2024 @ 3:45. It was a nice day, so I was excited about getting some great pictures, a couple of hours before the flight a woman (Milea – spelling could be wrong) from the office called to say they needed to cancel because of forecasted inclement weather. I thought that was strange since the weather was beautiful. I rescheduled for Tuesday, April 16, 2024 @ 3:45. I called two hours before the flight because it had been windy and overcast all day but Milea said there was no plan to cancel the flight. My friend and I took an Uber and arrived 30 minutes before the flight as required. We watched a safety video and Milea took us to the helicopter in a golf cart. She and the pilot put the doors back on the helicopter as we were doing a doors on tour.
Shortly after taking off the pilot pointed out that a small private passenger plane crashed on Oahu earlier that day, then she proceeded to take pictures of the wreckage with her iPhone. This was a bit disconcerting, I don’t want my Uber driver texting so I certainly didn’t like my helicopter pilot taking pictures while flying. The pilot mentioned several points of interest during the flight but as I mentioned earlier it was overcast so I didn’t get a good look at a lot of the locations. The helicopter which was much older than the aircraft in the pictures on their website started to shake during the flight and sounded like it was going to stall. It started to rain (drizzling not heavy rain at all) which I could see on the windshield and feel on my hands in the helicopter.
Our flight lasted 48 minutes as I started a timer when we took off. As soon as we returned to the office Melia rushed us out and as we waited in the parking lot for our Uber we saw her drive away without so much as an Aloha or Mahalo. I would not use this company again and I told 4 friends who are going to Hawaii in the next couple of months to avoid this business. They had great reviews which is why I chose them but things have obviously changed because we didn’t have a good experience.
PROS: Departed on time
CONS: Tour did not last 60 minutes as advertised
Helicopter was not what we expected
Pilot was not professional

The pilot recommended the day before to go earlier because we could get better pictures. Lucky we did we were able to see everything on the tour. Dejan did a great job narrating, and telling us about the history of areas. I highly recommend flying with Dejan.

This was an amazing Trip! Our pilot Dejon was a great pilot and a well versed tour guide. The company did a great job preparing you for your adventure. Doors Off is a must and felt safe the whole time. Doing it again for sure!

Was a great adventure. Had some trepidation when booking due to this being a "doors off" flight. No issues with wind or cold. Even went through a couple of brief showers, but water did not come in the helicopter. Beautiful views. Wonderful ride.
