Extremely Unsafe Experience in Wind Advisory Conditions
Peter Y,,Feb 11, 2026
- Review from Viator
1.00I had a very disappointing and frankly frightening experience with Air Maui’s doors-off helicopter ride. Despite active wind advisory conditions, they refused to cancel the flight. The weather was extremely windy, the ride was aggressively bumpy, and visibility was poor due to fog. What was marketed as an exciting scenic experience turned into a stressful and genuinely unsafe-feeling flight. This was not “normal turbulence.” The helicopter was being pushed around by strong gusts, and several passengers were visibly uncomfortable. Safety should always come before sticking to a flight schedule. It was difficult to enjoy any part of the scenery because we were focused on how unstable the ride felt. For a company that promotes itself as professional and safety-focused, the decision to proceed in those conditions was very concerning. I would strongly reconsider booking with them, especially during questionable weather. I cannot recommend this experience.

5.00expensive but good P/L ratio. Check in was 0k, reasonable waiting time. Pilot was good. All in all good deal, yet quite high priced.

5.00I’m not sure where to start, there is so many positive and amazing things about this experience. First off, Drew our pilot did an awesome job! He was informative & knowledgeable about all the locations from air that we got to see. He knows his aircraft so well to have make it once in a lifetime trip. Drew was down to earth and so kind as a person. The staff was positive and helpful as well when we checked in and through our adventure.

HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP

5.00My wife and I did the Doors Off West Maui and Molokai 45-minute helicopter tour and had an absolutely amazing experience. Forty-five minutes was the perfect amount of time — we got to see so much without feeling rushed. Our pilot was incredible — very skilled, informative, and made the entire ride smooth and enjoyable. Maui is such a beautiful island, and seeing it from the air gave us breathtaking scenic views that we’ll never forget. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Maui.

5.00The open door tour was both terrifying and safe fun. The pilot was engaging and knowledgeable about the islands and took us to amazing sites and the music was fitting. The ground crew were professional, nice and accommodating...sweet, kind island vibe. Would highly recommend this trip and it should not be missed!

5.00Amazing experience, the views were incredible all around, the pilot was very friendly had a soothing way of talking to you through the whole flight and a great personality. All the staff in the office were very friendly and directions were very clear to understand. Pictures turned out great! Saw multiple groups of Whales swimming below us and the waterfalls were incredible. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Maui!

5.00This was an amazing tour. It was exhilarating with beautiful photo opportunities. The jackets kept us warm, goggle fit well and headset was clear and free from crackles. My only disappointment was the flight went fast. Guess that happens when I'm having an awesome time.
Maui Air is a must!
