Unfortunately the weather had Haleakala and Hana sides of Mau'i unsafe for the flight, their wonderful staff then offered us a full refund, or divert the trip to the West side of Mau'i and Moloka'i cliffs (tallest in the world), we of course opted to GO!
Troy was our pilot and made the flight a blast, even our 11 year old had a great time! This was our first helicopter flight so we were nervous, but once we got in and lifted off, it was amazing!
Troy has some moving tunes in the background of the flight which was kicked off with some Tom Petty (which we LOVE!), some Weezer, some Pink Floyd (I think) and other excellent choices, along the way Troy gave in depth info regarding the islands, the history of the Kanaka there, and the geography that we were looking at, we got so close to a waterfall that was taller than the Empire State bldg! And as he maneuvered into that waterfall valley, the tight turns had us feeling like we were Batman in the Bat-copter, it was just AWESOME!
We cannot wait to take a helicopter tour again, and my 11 yr old was asking later that day if we could go back and take another one!
Troy and staff, you have an EXCELLENT company, and truly made us comfortable in the entire process! We bought the trip on video (usb drive), and the family shot in front of the running chopper, if you look close at the helicopter you can see Troy throwing a shaka too! :) ENJOY!!! You will not regret this voyage!!!
