1.00We showed up 20 minutes ahead of check in and they did not accept our legal AZ drivers license. Told us we had enough time to go back and get our passports. They called on our way back and we confirmed we would be there in 10 minutes. They said ok. Arrived in 10, helicopter sitting right there , 2 minutes before scheduled take off and they would not let us in the helicopter or refund the money. Happy honeymoon to our kids. Worse customer service ever and a waste of $1500 dollars.
Pilot was extraordinary. Very insightful and welcoming.

Friendly people, disappointing tour

2.00The people running this tour were incredibly friendly, and our guide was very knowledgeable about Hawaii and eager to share information with the group. As a local, family-owned business, they were kind and welcoming throughout the experience. That said, the tour itself was disappointing for us. The kayaks were equipped with pontoons, which made them much more difficult to maneuver than traditional kayaks. We spent most of the excursion paddling a short distance from shore, listening to information from the guide, and then paddling back. While the guide shared a lot of interesting knowledge, there was very little actual kayaking, exploration, or wildlife viewing. I have kayaked many times and have always enjoyed it, but this experience was not what I expected. While I appreciate the people and the effort they put into the tour, it is not an excursion I would choose to do again.
Worth it!

5.00Absolutely amazing and worth the money. It was a highlight of our trip. The helicopter held 7 guests on the flight. We did the rainforest landing with a champagne toast. Our pilot John was a great tour guide and let us try some of the fruit when we landed. We saw so many waterfalls, the whole experience was beautiful!
Best day ever! Captain Nick was amazing and super knowledgeable!

5.00Luxury Helicopter with very qualified and knowledgeable pilots. Nathan was amazing and answered all our questions. He narrated the flight pointing out the landmarks, road to Hana, etc. the rainforest landing was a once in a lifetime experience and included fresh fruit and champagne. Exceeding expectations seems to be this groups specialty!
