    Awesome Air Tour of Malakai and Maui

    Great way to see parts of Maui you can’t see from the road. And the air tour of Molokai was spectacular! Our polite was informative and funny as well. Very happy with our tour and Air Maui.

    Response from the operator: Happy to hear you had such a wonderful experience flying with us! Thank you for taking the time to post a review. Aloha!

    Beautiful scenery!

    Drew. the pilot, was very kind to our family of 5 and gave us some very interesting facts about the islands during our flight time! It was definitely the highlight of our trip to Hawaii, and an unforgettable experience! We’re so happy we booked it !

    Response from the operator: Thank you! I will be sure to let Drew know he helped create such a wonderful memory for your family! Aloha!

    Beautiful views, fun pilot, excellent trip!

    I live on island and decided to finally go up in the helicopters I always see flying overhead. Could not be happier with this decision! From the start, Ashley was a dream for the booking. She was helpful and patient, answered all questions, and explained options. Thank you! Our pilot, Vince, was super personable, fun, and full of interesting information about the islands and their history. The trip itself was incredible. Stunning views of the islands, waterfalls, coast, beaches, reefs...and even manta rays and humpback whales. Highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much! I will be sure to share you wonderful review with our staff and your pilot Vince. Aloha!

    Get it together. Maui is in a “just pay big money“ rut.

    Keep messing people around with your stupid five dollar QR code parking and I hope you go out of business! $500 for a ride and the stupid five dollar parking you have no answers for and ultimately tell me “just forget it” when YOU can’t get it to work!. Forget you! Fix it! Note: the back right hand seat is 80% ocean going CCW. I would’ve selected left-hand but the crying baby was over there. Of course this wasn’t the Hana flight I chose. That was changed by the “awesome/epic/rad” pilot 15 minutes before I got there. I knew the stupid parking thing was stupid before I even left home. Enjoy!

    Response from the operator: The parking lot at the heliport is managed by the State of Hawaii because we are on federal property. Employees are required to pay monthly as well so we don't like it just as much as our customers but unfortunately it is what it is. Just like parking at most airports this is a paid parking. The parking has NOTHING to do with our company at Air Maui and that is not "our" QR code. It is unfortunate the $5 parking created such a bad experience for you for and ruined what could have been an incredible helicopter tour. If you did not want to take the alternate route that was offered due to poor weather in Hana you could have rescheduled or cancelled for a full refund. We will not fly in bad weather for safety reasons.

    Going to pile on with the positivity because they earn it. The crew and our pilot guide Ken were professional and really fun! The knowledge and passion flowed out making what was already a beautiful experience that much more. Helicopter tours aren’t cheap but this one was in line with others on the island. A great value because of the service. Highlight of what was an all around great trip. Worth every penny!

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for the outstanding review and feedback! We really do appreciate you choosing to fly with us!

    West Maui and Molokai 60-Minute Helicopter Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.

    How much does West Maui and Molokai 60-Minute Helicopter Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $513 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Maui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does West Maui and Molokai 60-Minute Helicopter Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Maui is not rushed.

    Is West Maui and Molokai 60-Minute Helicopter Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 77 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Maui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule West Maui and Molokai 60-Minute Helicopter Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is West Maui and Molokai 60-Minute Helicopter Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book West Maui and Molokai 60-Minute Helicopter Tour?

    +

    Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Maui can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Maui and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does West Maui and Molokai 60-Minute Helicopter Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Maui within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Maui?

    +

    Maui's three signature days are the Hana road, the Haleakala summit sunrise and the Molokini snorkel sail, and all three are logistics problems as much as experiences. Sunrise summit entry is permit-controlled, Hana is a ten-hour driving day, and Molokini boats vary wildly in size. Our ranking rewards operators who handle permits and keep boat capacity low. On Outty we rank every Maui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Molokini Crater + South Maui Coast Adventure from Kihei, Maui, Maui: VIP Private Road to Hana Tour with Pick Up, Road to Hana Adventure Maui Tour with Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Maui?

    +

    April to May and September to October. Whale season runs December to April. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Maui?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
