Mahalo for flying with us on our Hana Rainforest Experience!
Unable to do the trip due to weather. Also told that the weather is the same 95% of the year so would be very interested to hear of anyone who managed to experience what was sold.

As marketed, this adventure is in the Hana Rainforest, it features a warm tropical rainforest climate where temperatures stay consistent all year .
Daily highs range from 79°F in the winter to 86°F in the summer, while lows range from 66°F to 73°F. Rain falls frequently year-round as well as low clouds. During any low cloud period, we are unable to fly in or out of the rainforest due to flight safety concerns. This adventure is the most popular and has thousands of visitors each year.
It is most unfortunate you were not able to experience this once in a life time adventure. I trust we may be able to show it to you on your next visit to Maui.
Thank you for connecting with us.
I originally booked the Hana Rainforest Experience with landing, a 75‑minute tour. However, due to weather conditions, the company switched us to the Molokai Voyage, which is only 55 minutes. Despite the significant reduction in tour duration and a completely different route, no price adjustment or discount was offered. When customers choose a specific experience, it is for a reason, and if the company changes that experience for any reason, they should take responsibility and offer an appropriate price reduction for the alternate tour. Additionally, the seating arrangement was disappointing. There were two parties onboard - six passengers and one pilot. The helicopter has three front seats: one for the pilot and two for passengers. Since there were two separate parties, the front seats should have been shared or rotated so both groups could enjoy the front‑seat scenic views. The front view offers a completely different experience compared to the side seats, and it is one of the main reasons people choose helicopter tours over small plane tours. Even considering weight distribution, a fairer seating arrangement could have been implemented. We also expected to see multiple waterfalls up close, but we only saw one during the entire tour. This was far below our expectations and did not match the experience described. When filling out the booking form, there was a question asking whether the tour was for a special event. I clearly mentioned that this was our anniversary tour. Unfortunately, there was no acknowledgment or special experience provided, which was disappointing given that the company specifically asks for this information. Overall, the tour felt overpriced for what we received, and the alternate route, reduced duration, seating arrangement, and limited sightseeing made the experience disappointing. I do not feel that it was worth the money we spent.

We are sorry to learn that you were disappointed in your experience. As our pilot explained to you in the lobby, the flight time is approximately .15 minutes more than the Hana Rainforest tour and you certainly had the option to request and receive a complete refund if you decided not to take the upgraded option.
Due to Hawaii's mountainous region, we are subjected to clouds on every island. If the clouds are too low, we are not able to fly into certain areas and in those instances, we would offer typically a more dramatic view of the island.
We are happy you celebrated your anniversary in Maui and we do offer chartered flight for those special occasions.
The Hana Rainforest tour was incredible. Words cannot describe how amazing it was. The views themselves make this tour worth every penny, then you add landing in the rainforest and Captain Nick finding fruit for us to try straight from the trees. I have nothing bad to say about this experience and it was worth every single penny.

We are happy to hear that your Hana Rainforest Experience flight was incredible! Mahalo for sharing and for flying with us on Maui.
Our helicopter tour with Maverick Helicopters was absolutely incredible from beginning to end! The staff was professional, friendly, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience. We were thrilled to be selected for the front seats, which gave us breathtaking panoramic views of Maui’s lush rainforests, towering sea cliffs, waterfalls, volcanic landscapes, and the famous Jurassic Park filming location. Seeing the island from above truly gave us a whole new appreciation for its natural beauty. The pilot was knowledgeable, engaging, and pointed out fascinating landmarks while sharing interesting facts about the island. Every moment felt unforgettable, and the flight was smooth and well organized. If you’re visiting Maui, this is an experience you should not miss. It was worth every penny and easily one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you, Maverick Helicopters, for memories we’ll cherish forever! 🌴

Mahalo, Jason. We appreciate you! 🚁👍
There really aren’t enough words to describe how incredible this experience was. It exceeded every expectation my family had. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our pilot, Tone, was absolutely outstanding! He was not only an exceptionally skilled pilot but also incredibly knowledgeable about Maui, sharing fascinating history and local insights throughout the flight. If you’re considering a helicopter tour, I can’t recommend Maverick Helicopters enough. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip, and I would book with them again without hesitation. In my opinion, it’s the best helicopter tour on Maui!

We are thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a memorable experience and that our team took excellent care of you. Mahalo nui loa for your recommendation. We hope you come back and fly with us again, here in Maui or at one of our other locations.
We had an unforgettable experience with Maverick Helicopters. Our tour took us over the breathtaking Road to Hana area and the spectacular volcano, giving us views that simply cannot be appreciated from the ground. One of the highlights was landing in a beautiful rainforest, where we spent about 30 minutes surrounded by incredible scenery. The entire experience felt safe, professional, well organized, and truly special. The pilot was knowledgeable and made the flight enjoyable from beginning to end. This was one of the most memorable parts of our trip to Hawaii, and we highly recommend Maverick Helicopters to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
