Awesome experience in Maui. Our pilot was amazing and very informative. Landing in the rainforest was the best experience where we learned a lot about the different plants and vegetation. The views of different waterfalls were simply amazing. The flight was very smooth. I can do it all over again!

We did the rainforest landing tour with Maverick. Our pilot Eddie was knowledgeable and supremely professional. Highly recommend this tour. The landing was a truly a unique pleasure as we got to taste fresh star fruit and lilikoi right off the trees. Fantastic!!!

Amazing morning thanks to Maverick Helicopters. We took the tour that lands in the rainforest. Just enough time in the air and land. Carlos was our pilot and he did a great job of sharing information. We’ve been on helicopter tours on every island and this combo was the best.
