5.00Maverick Helicopters is a 1st class operation from walking in the door to landing. The staff and pilots were all personable and professional. If you want to see waterfalls, this is the ticket. We flew out with 3 helicopters and it was very cool to all come in to the private landing area with all of them lined up and then having a champagne toast in the middle of the rain forest.

5.00We highly recommend Maverick Helicopters. I booked this trip for my in laws and after having to move our original booking to another timeslot the day before and then changing due to weather, they upgraded the two of them to a better tour and really helped it still feel special. They felt safe and secure the entire trip with their pilot, John.

5.00This was one of the best tours we went on in Maui! John, the pilot was great and knowledgeable, and took care of all of the passengers. He flew very smoothly and was very communicative during the tour, giving us a heads-up what he was doing when taking off and landing and where we were flying. We had great views of the coast, the Hana rainforest and were able to take a surprise trip to see the Haleakala summit. The stop in the Hana rainforest was unique and really cool. We were able to try fresh lilikoi and guava during our landing, picked right from the tree.
Magical

5.00If you are even considering a helicopter tour, please go for this one! We booked this ride with Maverick Helicopters and were not disappointed. They were very friendly upon arrival to the office and all of the employees were welcoming and kind. Jake was our pilot and he was excellent! He made us feel comfortable from the very beginning, explained the process in great detail, and was a great guide. It felt like he was excited to take us on this tour and show us the beautiful island, and not like he had done it a hundred times before. Landing in a private, cleared field in the rainforest was a highlight and something that made this tour different than others. We spent half an hour looking at plants, tasting fresh fruit and enjoying the views. The flight was very smooth and very beautiful, and we were lucky enough to have perfect weather. Thanks Jake! Would do this again - 10/10!
