Armin was a great instructor/pilot. The flight was incredible! We flew through the clouds, saw amazing waterfalls, saw the seven sacred pools, and so much more. The glider was awesome and there is a seat belt. I have been skydiving and this is Not that adventurous or scary. It's similar to being in an airplane, but you can feel the wind around you. A great way to see this part of the island and check off your bucket list. The videos are extra, but so very worth it. The technology is amazing and you need to get the videos! I definitely recommend the drive to Hana for this experience, you won't regret it!!! read more

Hang gliding with Armin was the highlight of our recent trip! We always try to make time to ride with him on every visit to the island and his rides are always top-notch. And, he has recently added a gyrocoptor. It is different than the hang gliding, as we can fly much lower, but it was also great. We will likely fly the gyrocopter next trip. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something other than the standard kayaking, parasailing, snorkeling offered everywhere else. Thank you, Armin, for a truly great experience!! read more

Hang Gliding Maui - Gyrocopter - Hang Gliding Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

My husband and I were on a cruise and decided to visit Armin at Hang Gliding Maui. My family and I have visited him years ago and fell in love with this activity. There was no question when we found out we were going to stop in Maui we had to do this again. Since I already tried the power hang gliding I wanted to try the gyrocopter. In my opinion I can't decide which I like more. I would say you have to experience both to decide for yourself because honestly I loved both! I will probably switch back and forth because they are both amazing and completely different experiences in my opinion. If you have never tried this before, I not only highly recommend it but also suggest to put it on your bucket list because it is a once in a lifetime experience! read more

Flying over Hana with Armin was an experience I will treasure forever. Armin is a master of the skies--a calm, knowledgeable, and deeply experienced pilot. From preflight smiles to gliding over Maui's lush rainforest, waterfalls, and coastline, every moment was awe-inspiring. The aircraft was pristine, the views breathtaking, and the sense of serenity above the clouds... indescribable. Armin's joy for flight is infectious, and his attention to safety and comfort made the adventure both thrilling and relaxing. If you're visiting Maui--this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Armin, for making me feel like a bird in the sky. Hang Gliding Maui - Hana, Maui Highly recommended. Would give 10 stars if I could! read more

When you are in Maui, Hang Gliding with Armin is a must. You will enjoy every minute you are up soaring around. Be sure to take the one hour flight, MINIMUM! I flew with Armin around 6 years ago; did it again on May 8 of this year and a third time will be in May of next year. Also, purchase the picture package. GUARANTEED, you will not be disappointed.

This was by far the most incredible thing I've done. Armin is THE BEST. What a nice guy and beyond accommodating. The experience itself was phenomenal, we opted for the gyrocopter and it really was one-of-kind. My friend who is scared of heights even loved it. Armin went out of his way to accommodate us, offering to bring us, take us back and even got to see some extra sights along the way. I've been home for less than 24hrs and I've already told everyone I know about how great this experience was with Armin. 11/10 recommend! Enjoy it and buy the video! read more

This is the most amazing thing we did while we were in Maui aside from seeing the wreckage and visiting with the people I'm bringing the love. we enjoyed our time hang gliding power in Hana. It's pretty hard to beat first time scuba diving, but this is a very close. Second spectacular views were undeniable and I felt like I was free. read more

A flight with Armin should be your top priority when visiting Maui. What an experience! Armin is a wonderful and incredibly experienced pilot. He ensures your time in the air will be a lifetime memory. You'll see so much, and see waterfalls and coastlines impossible to view any other way. Close up! I especially enjoyed his gyrocopter on my most recent visit. It's like flying in your dreams! read more

Best Gyrocopter lessons and experience in the world!!! Armin is an incredible instructor and super fun too. His equipment and aircraft are top of the line in superb condition. What an amazing life experience. read more

I had the privilege of flying with Armin again in May of this year and had an absolute blast. Again! On this trip our friends from Australia came to visit Maui, too, and I urged my buddy to do a trike flight. He was excited to try it. He flew first in the trike, and after his flight (which he loved), I flew in the gyro plane, which I really enjoyed. It was a breezy day but the gyro was not phased at all by the wind. I have friends with small private planes and flying in the open air in a trike or gyro is a completely different experience, and makes you jealous of birds! I highly recommend flying with Armin, and the next time I go to Maui, I'm doing it again! read more

My wife and I highly recommend learning to fly with Armin and Hang Glide Maui! We have flown his Hang Glider several times over the last several years. And this year we learned to fly his Gyro Plane!

Top Tier Adventure! Book now! My hubby and I were lucky enough to book flights with Armin while staying on Maui. We did the powered hangglider. It was EPIC! He has everything you need to be safe, comfortable, and make memories! His hanger has fun ways to occupy the onlookers while you soar among the clouds. The views are breathtaking. You can't get this vantage point anywhere else. Having a pilot with this level of experience in a place where the scenery can only be described as "God Showing Off" makes this adventure one not to miss! read more

We had an amazing time flying with Armin!! I did the gyrocopter and my boyfriend did the hand gliding and we both were blown away with how fun it was! Book it now! read more

WOW! I was excited to fly with Armin, but my 30 minute hang glider trip was better than I expected. Stunning scenery, adventure, and laughs throughout. My trip felt safe and comfortable, but also so exhilarating. We flew out along the coast and back above the clouds. I wholeheartedly recommend flying with Hang Gliding Maui. read more

My powered hang gliding flight with Hang Gliding Maui was easily one of the top 3 experiences of my life. The feeling of flying was exhilarating, the scenery was breathtaking, the perspective of seeing the island from the air was illuminating. Armin is the real deal. He is not only an immensely competent and experienced pilot and instructor with decades of experience, he is also wonderfully enthusiastic and supportive, and made my experience the best it could possibly be. I can not recommend him highly enough. Five stars doesn't even come close. https://youtu.be/YWgsUboX4O0 read more

Awesome! if you are coming to Maui put flying over the rain forest in powered hang glide with Armin at the top of your list. It's a great way to see all the wonders of the east part of the island and experience the joy of flying. Felt super safe. Armin is a super nice guy and very experienced pilot. this was one of our favorite things we did this time around. I'll be telling all of my friends and family to go! Hang Glide Maui!! read more

Amazing go fly!! Armin is excellent and precise. Go learn the hang glider, fly the gyro, live life!

Wowowow I cannot say enough about this experience. Armin has so much knowledge and experience about the aircraft and taught me so much. Plus he made the booking experience painless by being easy to reach, communicative up to flight time, and answering all the big and small questions. Once I got there he made me feel right at home and all the nervousness about being thousands of feet in the air was gone. He really knows what he is doing and you can trust he'll keep you safe, while also teaching you a bunch. Once we were in the air the views were breathtaking. I've been on Maui for three months and never quite seen anything like this. 10/10 recommend. (Also don't forget to go in for the videos and photos- so worth it) read more

Only go to Armin if you want to have the greatest ride of your life and feel safe while doing so!

Flying in Armin's Gyroplane above Hana was one of the most amazing experiences. The views of the beaches and waterfalls from the air is spectacular. I would highly recommend this, both his Gyroplane and Powered hang glider have impeccable safety records, a must do when on Maui. read more

Armin is the best. It was a not to be missed adventure. This has been the greatest experience ever. Armin made me feel safe and was very instructive. I touched a cloud!!! How cool is that?! We saw an aspect of Maui that most people never would imagine. Do it! You won't read more

While in Maui we attended many different types of activities, but hang-gliding with Armin was by far our favorite. I chose the powered hang-gliding tour and got to soar through the clouds over Maui, but my boyfriend went for the gyro tour closer to the ground. We were both delighted with our experience and will absolutely go again given the chance. If you're intimidated by heights, don't let it stop you. Armin is an excellent instructor with vast experience to put you at ease. Trust me, you'll be glad you decided to go for it! read more

I first did this event in 2014. It was really great. I have since flown with Armin on every subsequent visit to Maui - sometimes twice! I've been all the way around the (southern) island. To the top of Haleakala. I keep one particular photo handy on my phone and share it with anyone interested in such flying. I have also now flown this type of "trike" many other places in the world, many times (70+ hours), but the experience at Maui is the best for the consistent great weather and scenery, and it's great flying with Armin! Gliding back in silence is special under the right conditions. Very highly recommended. If you have any interest at all, DO IT! read more

Hang Gliding Maui - A great day, with three amazing falls in the shot! - Hang Gliding Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

Armin is the quintessential professional. He is friendly and immediately puts you at ease. HE made my first visit to Maui memorable. I can't wait to return and fly with him again! Maui STRONG!! read more

An amazing outdoor adventure at 2000 feet in the air! Worth the drive to Hana to get a view unavailable from the ground. Armin is a great flight instructor and expert host. read more

Wow! Wow! Wow! This is such a wonderful experience! Armin is an amazing guy and will make sure you have lots of fun. He's got that true Hawaiian hospitality! Hang gliding was not scary at all for me- instead it was relaxing and beautiful! I got to fly through a cloud and I felt like a bird! Pro-tip- Bring Armin some yummy cookies! You'll want to give his something in return for one of the best experiences of you life! read more

WOW! Closest thing to feeling like a bird soaring through the air!! annnnd I got to touch a cloud :) Armin is the BEST! He quickly communicates, is incredibly friendly and energetic, and supremely in-touch with all safety issues and concerns you may have. His trike is rigged with a GoPro for photos and videos. The hanger is filled with things to read and a pool table for those waiting while you're in the air. Statistics about the flight: we went up to 4500 feet cut the engine and glided all the way down to a safe and smooth landing. This aircraft is called a trike or a weight shift control lightsport aircraft and can be flown with a Sport pilot license. With the 80 hp engine we were able to climb 1000 feet per minute. Cruise speed was 60 mph and top speed is 100 mph. The Hang glider can withstand 6 positive G-forces and 3 negative. The aircraft is also equipped with a ballistic recovery system. Emergency parachute. read more

My wife and I found this place while looking through the Guide to Maui and had to try it. The instructor was nice and very funny. He took us up and gave us a lesson we will remember always ( in a great way). We highly recommend this adventure. It was thrilling and gave you awesome views of Maui. When we come back it will be the first thing on our list. We already contacted a friend coming out next week to let him know this is a must do adventure. read more

Was a gift to my husband for his birthday. He did the 45 min while my friend did the 30 min tour. 45 min trip gives you extra waterfalls. They felt safe and really enjoyed the experience. Paid the extra for pictures which were really cool. Armin is a very friendly, professional guy. He is also an experienced and confident instructor. The family hung out in his hanger and he had activities (and wifi - a luxury on the Hana side) to keep us busy while the others flew. After the flights, he gave us suggestions of other things to see/do. If you want to do something unique in Maui - I really recommend Hang Gliding with Armin. read more

Very good experience! Recommend 45mins flight, you will have more time to enjoy the views of water falls, rainforest, volcano and rainbow circles! read more

This was such a fabulous excursion. my husband planned it for us, and for weeks leading up, I have to admit I thought I would be too scared.... BUT Armin is super knowledgeable and super fun/funny and kept me laughing and relaxed the whole time. I had the time of my life. Well worth the money! Please support this business. You won't regret it. read more

We had an amazing experience at Hang Gliding Maui with Armin. You cannot really see Maui unless you see it from the air! We were amazed by seeing all of the waterfalls and craters invisible from the ground, unless you trekked for hours or days through jungle, many of the places you can see from the air are inaccessible by foot. An experience that cannot be beat with an amazing guy running the place! read more

I can't say enough about how awesome it is to fly with Armin! Whether you have some experience (I had previously taken a paramotor course and done some solo flights) or completely inexperienced with ultra light flying, Armin will show you an experience that will be the highlight of your Hawaiian vacation. Forget about a helicopter ride! This experience is sooo much better, and Armin is the nicest guy. Even if you're a little nervous, you will feel safe and secure during your experience. Amazing super experienced pilot and instructor, amazing aircraft, amazing views and adventure. If you do this, you will not be disappointed! read more

All this review needs is six words. I GOT TO *TOUCH* A CLOUD! A frickin CLOUD people!!! How cool is that!?! Armin was great and runs a very efficient operation. We did the 30 min flight and it was perfect. I would highly recommend taking the drive to Hana and taking this adventure! Armin is a pro and makes you feel safe and have a great time! read more

This was a wonderful experience, even after living on Maui for many years, I saw the island as I never had. I was going to skip it and just have my sister go as a graduation gift, but couldn't resist. Armin, the pilot, is very amicable and enthusiastic, making each rider feel safe and like their trip is going to be the best one that day. Apparently he moved to Maui in his early years from Germany to hang glide and never left. What a job.... Ask him to take you to Honomanu Valley (I think) where he'll take you over a 1,000-ft waterfall. Knowing the area, it was really great to see places I had gone to and camped as a kid from a bird's eye view. You can also ask him to climb and drop, and glide back down with the engine off. This was really worth the $130 (1/2 hour) and I'm also glad after the fact for the pictures. The hangar where you wait is pleasant at the quiet Hana airport, and it's easy to find. Be sure to make reservations and budget enough time to drive to Hana if you haven't before. The website has a good FAQ for this. read more

Hang Gliding Maui - May 29, 2007 - Hang Gliding Near Me - Hana, Hawaii

Honestly my friend and mine's favorite part of our road to Hana drive, Armin was extremely welcoming and friendly, we felt comfortable right away and made ourselves at home in his man cave :). My friend and i took turns and we're both extremely pleased with the experience. The view is amazing but that's something to see for yourself. If you're driving to Hana and not stop by to hang glide with Armin you're missing out!! read more

Fantastic views and very professional. Highly recommended! The owner is first class and everything was well organized and safe.

It's been a year since I went hang gliding with Armin & I still look back at these photos! I'm not one for heights but being up there is so peaceful and the sights make the whole experience relaxing and unfreaking believable. First thing I thought was, if I didn't just take this flight I would think these photos were photo shopped. read more

Incredible experience. Armin is a real pro, and a great person. J he knew when to wait out rain showers and got us out there safely. Such a smooth ride. Cant recommend enough- worth the drive! read more

Yes, yes, and yes. This was a very cool experience. The sites of Hana from above were ridiculous - the waterfalls, windy roads, the lush scenery, whales, black sand beach, beautiful Pacific, and clouds. Armin is such a great guy too. Very down to earth. It helped make the experience. The landing was my favorite part, as we came in at 70 mph. My second favorite part was being in the clouds. So lovely. The only downfall? Armin is required to make the tour 'instructional', which means he doesn't stop talking for 30-minutes about the aircraft and sights. This sounds fine now, but... let's just say I'm glad I didn't take the hour tour. read more
