Flight was perfect. Experience with Eric was super smooth. For my first time flying non-commercial ever, Eric made everything feel extremely comfortable and inviting and has great knowledge of the island. Highly recommend with family and friends.
Amazing- would highly recommend Views were stunning and one of a kind Unique perspective and tour of the islands
Great ride!!! Great pilot!!!
So much fun, thank you!! experience of a lifetime. We hit a bunch or islands, saw a ww2 tanker. so cool thanks man! restrooms, nice beverage afterwards, so good
This was an amazing once in a lifetime experience. So glad we did this from the air! Erick was amazing as well. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a spectacular view!
What a wonderful experience!y son and I flew around a volcano for his 10th birthday. He even got some flight time. I would highly recommend!
This guide was knowledgeable and great. The beauty of the island is like nothing you can see from the ground. The experience will be remembered!
Amazing trip. The views were spectacular and our photos will last a lifetime. We felt safe. If you can pick one thing to do this is it! Well worth the money.
Exellent tour and experince with a nice professional pilot! Thank you Eric! He took us to see amazing views and vocanos.
If you’re in Maui, actually if you’re in Hawaii at all, you MUST book a plane tour with Maui Plane Rides. This was DEFINITELY the highlight of our trip. Our pilot was the best. He is so calm and comforting making you feel safe throughout the whole tour. And he REALLY knew his stuff. He can name you individual buildings literally! Anyways, I’ll let your next trip do the talking.
This experience was really beautiful. Majestic landscapes and waterfalls. Our guide was also amazing at explaining everything we were seeing! Definitely recommended
Absolutely an incredible experience. Eric was an awesome pilot and tour guide. If you want a once in a lifetime experience, book a subset champagne tour on Maui Plane rides.
Being the copilot to the plane was incredible. You feel both safe and involved in the process of flying, and the views are out of this world!
Saw the coast of Maui, the beautiful coast of the Big Island, including the dramatic cliffs and valleys of Kohala, & the volcano, lucky enough that the clouds lifted. We had a great time with our pilot and guide, Eric. An experience of a lifetime!
Beautiful view) amazing experience) Our pilot Erick professional) great service and light flight! We will be right back next time)
Thank you Eric for such a great and unforgettable experience you provided! This experience is really the one you will never forget!
Wonderful experience! Highly recommend to supplement the Molokai helicopter tour as both offer unique perspectives and experiences
The experience was fantastic and I would definitely do and recommend it to anyone that wants to see!
Looking Down at the volcano and see some kind of activity that is not visible by road tour would definitely do it again in different areas
Our captain Eric did an amazing job by showing us the crater from the different view which gives us the whole new experience.
Breathtaking views, feels like you are in a different planet. The pilot Eric shared lots of great info about the crater and kept checking on us throughout. Worth your money!
This was a lifetime experience the views were incredible. The flight was a great way to celebrate our twenty fifth anniversary.
Éric and Michael were very friendly and offered us a very pleasant tour of the volcano and the waterfalls. They weren’t in a rush and took their time to make us visit in the better conditions possible.
Absolutely stellar experience! We got breathtaking views with an incredible host. Truly an experience unlike any other!
This experience was so fun! The plane was peaceful and we got to see very pretty views! Definitely worth it!
We booked this trip on my birthday. And it was amazing experience. We choose to see the world biggest sea cliff. And the pilot was great , he let me took off the plane😎
I booked this tour as a last minute, change of plans, gift for my parents. I booked it the evening before and in the morning I received a call from Eric saying viator double booked the time slot for 9:00am and the next tour would not be available until 12:00pm. This was well after I had already taxied my parents on their way to the site. Eric went above and beyond and offered to take my parents site seeing around the area until the next available tour. That was 3 hours later. This was my mom’s first trip to Hawaii and now that is the only thing she talks about when people ask her about the trip. Thank you for making such a memorable time for my mom. Mahalo!!
The view going over the crater is nothing short of spectacular. Takes a bit to get up to 10K feet but so worth the time. Our pilot, Steve, is excellent. Will book him for our next trip to see the cliffs of molakai!!
Our pilot, Steve, was great!! Was a bit nervous having never been in such a small aircraft but his expertise was great. Explained how to achieve the proper altitude and the landing, smoothest ever. Honestly didn’t realize we were on ground until he throttled down. Do this tour then drive up , gives two very different perspectives. Think I’ll book with him when we return to see the cliffs of molakai!!
Absolutely amazing experience. Our pilot, Steve, was very informative and friendly. Definitely worth it. We got to see Maui from a whole other beautiful view.
A+ Great experience to see Maui and surroundings. Smooth ride and great pilot. Informative sightings
Steven was an excellent pilot. He was knowledgeable and polite. We had a great time in the air. He even took our pictures
I enjoyed the flight. The views were amazing. The pilot was informative. Highly recommended for an incredible experience.
Amazingly awesome experience!!! Eric is a great guy! The trip was beautiful and informative. Will definitely fly with him again soon.
Spectacular experience! Eric went above and beyond to make us comfortable and maximize our beautiful journey!!!
My husband and I had the most amazing experience! I’m pregnant and it was the most smooth, safe, gorgeous ride!
The pilot not aprópiate atair not answering any questions he was so in rash to kick us out, not safe equipment in case of an accident I feel we súper over paid for this experience definitely of recomendet the view was beautiful!!
The views are amazing. Eric is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. I would highly recommend this tour.
Super fun trip. Eric is a enthusiastic pilot that had our best experience in mind the entire trip. Definitely worth it..
Eric was a great tour guide he showed us the best parts of Maui, and guided us throughout the amazing journey. So fun thanks Eric!
Eric is very polite and straight forward with taking care of his customers! He provides a quality and unmatch experience that allows you to see things in Maui you would never be able to witness without him!
Highly recommend this private plane tour! It was so fun & exciting to see Maui from a bird’s eye view! Eric was great!
Excellent trip! We saw so many waterfalls and felt so safe during the whole trip. He was knowledgeable about Maui and showed us sights that were incredible. Mahalo!
Eric, the pilot, was awesome and the flight was spectacular! He customized the flight so that we got to see everything we wanted and it was just the three of us so everyone could enjoy the view. Definitely worth every penny!
Eric provided a fantastic experience on the custom tour. The views were amazing of the crater and would highly recommend the trip to anyone.
We had booked the Molokai sea cliffs tour but the wrath did not look good that way so the pilot proposed to go to the volcano crater . He was able to fly around the clouds to fly us over the crater twice. Amazing view from there. He was also very attentive to our comfort. Great experience with great pilot.
Eric, the pilot, is a amazing guy doing a great job! He said we are sharing his dream, actually he was making my dream come true by letting my little girl driving a little bit! Sounds crazy but it was peaceful and joyful! Totally unforgettable experience in our life! Thank you Eric!! Merry Christmas and happy new year, Eric! Salina
Had the most amazing experience flying with Eric. He was professional and friendly, making our flight with him truly one to remember. We got to see beautiful views of the Haleakala Crater. It was so incredibly different than seeing it by land and honestly took my breath away. If you haven’t flown with Maui Plane Rides, it’s a must do on your vacation.
