Wow, what can I say other than fantastic? Maybe awe-inspiring, beautiful, fun, exhilarating, once-in-a-lifetime, etc, and on and on! THAT'S what my wife and I experienced on this utterly stupendous helicopter flight!! From the moment I booked with Jana, who answered all our questions and briefed us before the flight, I knew this was the absolute best helicopter tour in Maui! And Nick with his 20,000 hours and 37 years of flying (20 years in Maui) was safe, professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! I'm a retired Air Force pilot with 22 years of experience. He was absolutely outstanding and made my wife and I feel totally at ease! We saw waterfalls and valleys that are not accessible any other way than a helicopter. And having the doors off made it a premier experience and epitome of "free" flying. Thanks Jana and Nick - you made this flight a highlight of our travels!! read more

We started our day off a little early because we wanted to be out in the air as the air was still fresh. We had Nick as our pilot and boy what a treat. My son who is 10 opted to do doors off and Nick approved because of his maturity level. Doors off is absolutely the way to go but please come prepared in addition to wear in the flight suit it was pretty chilly up there. Being cold was just a small sacrifice to pay for the absolute beautiful creations you will see well up in the aircraft. We chose the road to Hana and what a treat! Don't forget to tip and bring your patience's! read more

Doors off to Molokini was amazing. The location is clean and follows CDC guidelines. The staff friendly and informative and then the flight was simply breath taking. Over west Maui across to the cliffs in Molokini - 6th tallest in the world with amazing views of multiple waterfalls. Make sure you park at the very end and pay in the booth as you enter $5 should do it. read more

I wanted to take my mom for an open door helicopter tour of West Maui and Molokai with cliff side landing and found this company from a YouTube vide. I've actually noticed them on Instagram a couple of times as well. After doing more research, decided they were the perfect choice for what I was looking for. On the morning of our scheduled flight (7:30am), it was quite gloomy with a few showers, very windy as well so the pilot didn't think it was safe to fly. We were super sad to hear about that, especially since they were all booked up until the end of the month!! I still insisted to give us a call in case of last minute cancellations, which is rare, and kept our fingers crossed. Well lo and behold, we were enjoying breakfast back in our hotel when I receive a text from them around 10am saying they had a last minute cancellation, and if we wanted to come back for a noon flight. HECK YES!! Only thing is we wouldn't have time for the cliffside landing, which was a bummer. It's like God made it happen! The weather changed dramatically, no clouds, super sunny, and our pilot Nick was super informative and made us feel comfortable. We had such a good time, especially my mom who was nervous about the doors off, but ended up loving the tour! It gets very windy though, and you're not allowed to put your hands or legs outside the helicopter, or any cameras/gopros/phones for that matter. They do provide free lanyards for your phone. Would highly recommend this company! Communication was great through text and they really tried to make sure we were able to fly! read more

The 21st of March was our last day in Hawaii and we wanted to finish it off with something exciting so we booked a Molokai Cliffs and Waterfalls doors off tour with Pacific Helicopter Tours and I'm so glad we did! Kamille was our host on the ground and went through the check-in and safety briefing where you get outfitted with a sweet fanny pack life vest and offered us coffee or various other drinks. We then got escorted to the helipad where Sam was waiting for us to jump in. Now I've never been in a helicopter before let alone a "doors off" tour so I kinda assumed it would be super bumpy and a little scary seeing how there's no doors. Nope...I was wrong, its was super comfortable (heater works good for the chilly morning), not bumpy at all, and I've felt more at risk in a Jeep with no doors than the helicopter with no doors but that could just be how amazing Sam was as a pilot! SAM. WAS. AMAZING! Seriously when I come back to Maui I will ask for Sam to be my pilot again. Any time she saw a whale or went into a valley near a waterfall she would spin the helicopter so both passengers had the chance to get photos. She explained different features of what we were seeing and some history of Hawaii. Thanks again Sam! So you might be thinking $325 is a bit expensive. For the experience, views, customer service, and all the amazing photos you'll take its really not. Skip the zip line, skip the fancy dinner, and skip the car rental upgrade and spend the money on this tour! read more

THE. BEST. E. V. E. R. Matt was our pilot. We originally booked the east Maui island tour, but he explained how there is much better places to look at in the West Maui, and also Molokai island and no additional charge. And he took us to all of the cool spots, including worlds tallest waterfall, and the Iao Valley water fall valleys. We flew very close into the valleys and we were just amazed. read more

First time flying in a helicopter but had an amazing time. Pilot was very friendly and knowledgeable about the islands and learned a lot of history. This tour is a doors off tour which made it a lot more exciting and able to take better pictures and look down into the ocean where we saw a few schools of humpback whales Definitely would recommend to take this tour because everyone was friendly and knowledgeable about everything. I'm not a huge fan of heights but this was doable for sure. Had my moments where I was terrified but it was definitely ok. Next time I visit Maui I want to do it again! Thanks Pacific Helicopters read more

We did the Molokai and West Maui tour with Pacific Heli Tours and it was amazing! I will be honest, this is not a cheap activity, but really if you are going to do an helicopter ride, where better than Hawai'i? Don't skip it and go with Pacific Heli Tour. Kasey, who handles booking is super nice. We were booked for Friday after hurricane Erick and the weather was . Even if the helicopter could take off, they moved us to Sunday so we could have nice weather. Matt, our pilot, was super nice, chill, experimented and brought us close to everything. He's been doing that for 20 years, 18 in Hawai'i, he knows his stuff. Honestly, one of the highlights of our vacation! Do it! Live a little, you deserve it! NOTE: Pictures don't do justice of what you'll see but I mostly made videos and have a limited numbers of pictures to chose from. read more

Book a flight with this company! If you are planning a helicopter tour in Maui, this is the way to go. Casey the manager was friendly and hospitable and Brandon our pilot was super cool and an amazing tour guide. My girlfriend and I booked the Molokai & West Maui Waterfalls tour + a separate landing (which I highly recommend) and having a helicopter with no doors made taking photos and video SO much easier and it immerses you in the whole experience. I look forward to flying with you guys again on the next trip! read more

This is the best Helicopter Tour we had. Me and my wife went on few helicopter tours (Grand Canyon and Big Island) but this is so far the best and here are the reasons: - no wait time - greeted like family - open door but they informed safety features (mainly keeping hands inside and watching for camera/GoPro) - took pictures with our own camera, they even took with their camera and messaged us the photo. This saved some extra money - best pilot we had guiding throughout the tour - our pilot showed views from both sides - our pilot also slowed down and showed some wales and view of whales form top is the best way to see as we can see whole whale - felt we are special throughout the tour read more

The best off door helicopter ride ever! Found out about this place on a video of a couple on YouTube that toured Maui and we do not regret it! A wonderful staff and an excellent pilot to make everybody feel relaxed and comfortable. Nick was amazing and so relaxed which made us all feel at home! The private off door helicopter ride was fantastic! I suffer from severe motion sickness and did not get sick at all! The views were outstanding! Nick was super Informative which is something we appreciate and always make sure we were OK and enjoying the ride! This is something in our 16-year-old will never forget! Nor will we! Highly recommended over any other helicopter tour company in Maui! read more

What an unreal experience for my wife and I on our honeymoon. Booked this heli tour for the doors off/more one on one experience and although expensive, it was worth every penny. Jāna helped us with the check-in/safety briefing, answered all our questions and was very friendly - she's amazing! Nick was our pilot who was exceptional and is a master at what he does with over 20,000 flight hours. He was extremely knowledgeable about the island, very passionate about his career and very personable! I knew I made the right decision as I was buckling into my seat and seeing all the other heli tour guests staring at us as they crammed 6 people in their doors on heli's. If you like a first class/one on one experience in a doors off helicopter, this is the tour for you! I HIGHLY recommend it and will be back! read more

Fell in love with my first time riding in a helicopter with Pacific Helicopter Tours. Kamile who worked to assist us in booking, safety informational, and replying quick was very professional & polite. Nick was our pilot & he was awesome! From his conversation, expertise & handing me the air sick bag when I felt like (but didn't) vomit. Tip * time your Dramamine intake a little better. Lol. Overall I'd definitely recommend as I am taking time to write this. Don't forget to tip them! :) read more

This was hands down the best thing we did during our trip to Maui! We did the doors off Molokai and West Maui waterfalls tour and it was absolutely amazing. There's no other way to see these waterfalls except from a helicopter! The staff from very friendly and professional. We arrived about 30 minutes early for our check-in time and since the helicopter was ready to go, they took us up in the air earlier than scheduled. Since there are no doors, there is nothing obstructing your view. The price isn't cheap, but it was worth every single penny! You won't regret it! read more

Absolutely wonderful morning with our pilot, Joe. Pacific Helicopters were professional with an eye for safety, a smooth ride and great information about all we were seeing. Joe even made sure both seats had a chance to see the sights unobstructed so we could take photos and see exactly what he was describing in his narrative. When we saw the whale he circled back to see if it rose again without hovering or bothering the majestic animal. This is a fabulous way to see Maui and Molokai, the cliffs and the waterfalls. Highly recommend Pacific Helicopters. read more

This review was long overdue! But here goes - My wife and I took the Pacific Helicopters 1 hour and it turned out to be the best experience of our Hawaii vacation. Kamille helped us with booking and check-in. She was very responsive and everything was a breeze pre-flight. Our pilot was Nick. He was definitely the major reason for our experience being so wonderful. Through out the flight he gave us a ton of insights about Maui and its neighboring islands. Apart from being an awesome pilot, Nick has a great sense of humor as well. I strongly suggest choosing Pacific over other tours since their tours are doors-off with only 2 seats in the back and 1 in front. So everyone gets a great view. Other tours operators have helicopters which have 4 seats in the back and 2 in front with closed doors. So not as much fun. We are so glad we choose pacific over others! read more

Absolutely the best experience we have had in a long time. Nick our pilot was great. The attention ton safety was top Notch and the complete views were the best. No middle seats!!!! Every one a window Seat what could be better. As soon as we checked in everything was handled professionally Photos included we even saw some whales. Nick has a great feel for thé islands their history geology geography weather patterns and fun facts like who Purchased Lanai. So if you have not planned a ride in the sky book Pacific Helicopter today. Don't listen to your hotel who will try to say they left the island. They did not but they don't give kick backs or tips to be pushed. Direct bookings ! read more

This will go down as my favorite thing to do in Maui, and something I will highly recommend to anyone I know coming here! Our pilot was Sam and she was super cool and informative.

We had an amazing time! This was the first time for us to ride a helicopter, but it was worth every dollar. The pilot was very friendly and took us to see lots cool things because the weather was so nice. The helicopter is also nice and small so we got a good view, and the doors-off allows you to see all the way down to the bottom. Here as some photos, but they really cannot do it justice. read more

From day one my experience with Pacific Helicopter Tours was seamless. Kasey was great with communication. It was like having a private ride because the chopper only allows 3 people plus pilot. Brandon our pilot was amazing. He knew so much history & he was a great story teller. The weather was prefect that day so we were able to see everything. Lucky us! I highly recommend this tour. read more

I don't know where to start. This is amazing, my first helicopter tour ruined me for everything else. My wife was not as excited about a doors off tour as I was at first, by the end she liked it more than I did. The pictures she took with an iPhone are simply breathtaking. Brandon (our pilot) was an exceptional tour guide. Kasey (our booking agent and safety briefer) was personable and made my wife feel at ease. I simply can not recommend this company and experience enough. read more

The doors off full island tour with Pacific Helicopter Tours was over the top amazing! These guys got it right - a professionally run outfit with a personal and friendly staff made the trip way better than expected. Nick, our pilot, was informative and very accommodating - customizing our flight to see the sights we wanted to focus on. He is a wealth of the island history and culture. Jana booked our flight and prepped us for the adventure. The actual flight was nothing short of spectacular - great flying weather provided us access to many of the valleys and sights not always available with less favorable conditions. I've been on other island helicopter tours with a couple of different companies and Pacific Helicopter Tours was hands down the best experience I've had to date. read more

Whales - check! Shipwrecks - check!Waterfalls - check! Entertaining & informative pilot - check! Brandon our pilot was full of interesting information, from nature to Hawaiian history & culture. We get motion sick & doors off is the best way to go. Everyone (3 passengers + pilot) gets an awesome view! We did the 3 island tour and it was totally worth it! It is cold - we were prepared, wore pants & jackets, but could've used thicker jackets. You can borrow lanyards and take pics with your phones. They also have a comfortable, cool waiting area with complimentary beverages. read more

What an unreal experience! Luckily these guys were able to accomodate my wife and I on the very last day of our short trip to Maui. I cannot believe that we were THIS close to missing such an amazing opportunity to experience the entire Maui from the sky in 90 minutes :) Brandy was very easy to talk to and gave us all of the necessary information pertaining to the flight. The heliport was easy to find. There was no wait time. Our pilot Nick was The Man! He has been flying for over 20 years and was just a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Maui's history, geology, and just the lay of the land. He seemed to know every little gem on the island and went an extra mile to find them all. OPEN DOORS are definitely THE WAY to go - the wind, the clouds, the smell, the change in temperature...you get so much more with the doors off. This tour was definitely as private as it gets. Just the two of us along with the pilot Nick. We enjoyed every second of being in the air and would HIGHLY recommend picking Pacific Helicopter on your next trip. Blew my mind for sure! Have fun! read more

This is an absolute must do when in Maui. From start to finish, Pacific Helicopters made this an incredible adventure and one of the most exciting things I've ever done. I want everyone to know that I'm actually afraid of heights, but I'm also afraid of missing out and I knew this was something that my husband would love to do. I want to do it again and would do the "doors off" again. We did the 60 minute door off waterfall and Molokai tour and our pilot Brandon kept us informed the entire tour. I thought this would be a once in a lifetime adventure but no way - this will happen every time we are in Maui and every time will be with Pacific Helicopters. read more

WOW!! I've been on several Hawaii helicopter tours but this company was exceptional. Easy check in Kamille was quick and efficient with check in. Brandon our pilot was so informative and funny. Also a great pilot giving us great views of the falls, some history of the island, pointing out whales and rainbows. Really thank you for making our last day amazing!! Doors off is the only way to go but make sure to where a coat. Seats 4 including pilot so everyone gets a window seat. Headsets to communicate. Restroom, water, juice and coffee available. read more

One of the best experiences of the whole trip. Highly recommend the doors off helicopter tour with Manny. He is very knowledgeable about the island's terrain, history, and knows all great spots you can only appreciate from the air. Manny was also very kind and friendly. I peppered him with all kinds of questions and in his good-natured way, answered them all. He commanded the helicopter as if he was on a leisure Sunday drive. We felt safe at all times. Very safe pilot. He made the experience unique and informative. He embodies the spirit of Aloha. It was a privilege sharing it with him. In addition, Kasey took great care of us on the ground. kept in touch with us via text message prior to arrival and gave us great instructions for our arrival, comfort in the air, and safety. Just before boarding, I realized my GoPro battery was almost dead. She ran into the hanger and let me borrow her GoPro battery and gave my wife a hairband to keep her long hair from being a distraction. Kasey saved the day! She also was very friendly and kind. Thank you Pacific Helicopter Tours for an unforgettable experience. Highly Recommended! read more

Nate was extremely helpful in organizing our tour & explaining to the pilot exactly what we were looking for to take pics. Nick the pilot was a total rockstar and made us feel very comfortable. Unlike the other doors off company, Pacific helicopters has 4 seats so everyone has a view-- totally worth it. Thx again Pacific Helicopters!

What an amazing experience!! Brandon, our pilot was awesome! The ride was super smooth and he gave us so much information, absolutely worth it. I am so glad we did this expensive but, super worth trip! We did the West Maui and Molokai 60 minute tour and we saw everything from lush green mountains to the blue ocean to so many waterfalls. Kasey, was super amazing as well! The check-in was so easy and quick. Thank you for making Maui memorable. PS: make sure you book way in advance, they tend to fill up quickly. We also found a groupon coupon, so we only had to pay $183 for 1 person and then full price for the other. You are allowed to take your cameras so that's awesome. Kasey also lets you borrow a cell phone lanyard you can take with you on the helicopter. We took a tour at 7:30 am, the lighting and temperature was perfect. read more

This is the only company where you can ride without doors and be guaranteed a "window seat". It was easy to book. And our pilot was awesome. The view was great and he made sure we got close enough to get great video and pictures. Even without doors, I felt absolutely safe. The pilot was fun and gave awesome tidbits. You can directly talk to him with your headset. I've done many helicopter tours in Hawaii. This was my favorite. read more

Our no door helicopter tour was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I was speechless the entire ride and even got a little emotional seeing the breathtaking views. Our pilot (Nick I believe?) was wonderful and I would highly recommend riding with him. His commentary throughout the tour was excellent and he made our tour perfect and enjoyable. I felt safe throughout the entire ride and they do a great job explaining safety rules and how everything operates in the helicopter. We did this tour at the end of our Hawaii trip and it was truly the best way to end it. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this place. 5 plus stars! :) read more

We booked the 3 island trip for 1 1/2 hours! Our only compliant, we didn't want it to end! My friend had never been in a helicopter before and was extremely nervous! After the flight, he had the biggest smile on his face. Camille prepared us for the flight. She helped ease our tensions and answered any questions. Nic was our pilot! He made our trip so much fun! He took time to show us all of the attractions and had a story to tell about each one. Our OPEN door journey took us to amazing waterfalls, ship wreck, mountains and valleys! We even saw a humpback whale breaching. Most importantly, he made us feel safe with his expert piloting skills! Thank you, Pacific Helicopters, Camille, and Nic for making a lifelong memory of the beautiful island of Maui. We picked the right tour, for sure! read more

By far the most awesome thing to do on the island! The helicopter tour was unreal with incredible views of both the ocean and mountains of Hawaii. Our pilot was Sam and she was very fun and informative. I'd recommend requesting her. Also a pro tip: go in whale season! Whenever we spotted a whale Sam would circle the area and the water is so clear you can see the whales perfectly as they swim! Much better than any view you will ever get on a boat. By far the highlight of our vacation. It's a Hawaii must do! read more
