My wife and I chose the Doors Off Kauai Experience to kick off our Hawaiian honeymoon adventure, and we couldn’t be happier! I’ll echo what seems like many have said before, but our pilot Nils truly made this an A+ experience. He put any fears we had to rest with his professional and attentive attitude, continually checking in on us to make sure we were enjoying every minute. In just under an hour we got a fantastic Hawaiian history lesson with a bird’s-eye view, a rocking playlist, and a pilot that clearly loves his job. If you have any hesitations regarding doors off, try your best to put those fears aside, and definitely request Nils!

An island like Kauai deserves a company like Mauna Loa to give you the best possible experience of her breathtaking beauty. All yours are private, which guarantees that you will not have to be stuck in some awful middle seat that other companies impose upon you. You also get the option to have a door/all doors off. This option is absolutely the way to go! Not only does it give you the best photo experience (no glare nor reflection from window), it makes everything feel so much more immersive. Just wear a long sleeve top when doing doors-off. Oh, and ask for Ben, the Brit, who made us laugh the whole trip and was a pleasure to have as our pilot guide.

My wife and I looked at many helicopter tour companies prior to our trip to Kauai. Mauna Loa helicopters was absolutely outstanding. What sets them apart from the other choices is all their tours are private and you know you will get a window seat. The ladies in the office at check-in were very friendly, the shuttle over to the heliport was great, and the flight was more spectacular than words can describe. Our pilot was fantastic as well. We are so happy we chose Mauna Loa helicopters for our flight. It was the highlight of our vacation.

We booked a private tour with this company after I looked at other Helicopter tours, and their packages, because I wanted it to be just for US, NOT with other tourists in the same Helicopter, and not knowing where we'd be seated. (some have to sit in the middle, not by the window. I made arrangements and booked for just the two of us, a 'back doors off ' flight , that was one of the best we've ever had. Granted, the cost is more, but it was soooo worth it. Do It! You only live once, and you will NEVER be disappointed that you did it!

We had an amazing helicopter tour with Mauna Loa, could not fault anything , very professional from start to finish.Having no doors with only the two of us in the helicopter looking at all the beautiful scenery of the island was such a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend this tour.

Super professional organization from the moment you check in until they shuttle you back to the office. This was our first helicopter flight ever. Our pilot was friendly and knowledgable. Next time we do doors off. Reflections in the glass do show up in your photos, but the pilot was quite accommodating, turning the helicopter so that both sides of the aircraft could get their photo opportunities. Safe, fun, inspiring.

There are so many highlights on Kauai, but my wife and I had to pick this Helicopter trip as the number 1. Why Mauna Loa instead of others (since I assume that the helicopter trip itself is very similar for all touring companies)? 1. No extra charge if you are just 2 people occupying the helicopter. 2. No excessive rush, i.e. the helicopter was not already running when we arrived, we could sit down calmly and talk with the pilot without excessive noise, and having the whole experience of the start and landing. 3. The helicopter was smaller, which made the experience (open door) even more exciting. I took with my Go Pro a lot of my shots through the (huge) front window, that was great! 4. Cool pilot! Professional but not stiff, had wonderful conversations with him during the whole flight (except starting at landing at the airport). Super friendly (give Niels the green card, where is the problem, we want him to be part of the US, we need people like him!). Highest recommendation!

This is potentially the best activity I have ever done. We hired two helicopters to go out at the same time since we are a family of four. Since the helicopters only hold two guests, we were guaranteed window seats. This is not the case with most of the other companies. We did the "photography" tour so had flexibility of seeing what we wanted. We did the tour with the doors off.... it was safe and really cool! Our pilots Nils and Chris were great. We could not have asked for more. Amazing unreal views. I would recommend this trip to everyone as it is the only way to see all the island. And the company were great to work with.

Incredible tour!! Our pilot was great as she was very knowledgeable about every part of the island and she made sure that each person in the helicopter was able to see every part of the island and answered every question that we asked. She circled a number of areas just to be sure we each got to see an area and got any pictures that we wanted. Highly recommend to others as this tour is well worth the price.

This was the first time we had been on a helicopter before. Stefan made sure we were doing ok throughout the tour and had tons of information about the island of Oahu. The tour was not only beautiful, but informative. Stefan spotted whales and turtles out in the ocean and would circle back just so we both saw them. I would highly recommend this tour and this company! Thank you Mauna Loa Helicopter Tours! We will definitely do this again!
