What a great flight!! Nick was fantastic, knowledgeable, and even accommodating of me being an aviation geek that wanted to know all about the helicopter, air space, etc. Doors off is such a great experience. If you want a personal tailored flight this is the way to go!!

This was hands down one of the most incredible, breathtaking things I’ve ever done — and it was made 100x better thanks to NICK, our amazing pilot and instructor! From the moment we arrived, he made us feel completely safe, excited, and ready for adventure. His knowledge of the island, sense of humor, and confidence put us instantly at ease. Flying doors-off over Maui is something that words can barely capture. The views were INSANE — waterfalls, sea cliffs, valleys, it truly felt like we were soaring through a dream. Every twist and turn brought a new jaw-dropping sight. And Nick’s narration made it even more magical; you could tell he genuinely loves sharing this experience with others. If you’re even thinking about doing a helicopter ride in Maui — DO IT. And if you can request a pilot, request NICK. He’s the real deal. Can’t recommend this enough. One million stars if I could!

This was our second time going to Maui and our second time going to Hana. We didn’t want to drive the road to Hana, it was great and we made a nice trip out of it to see the sites and stop at all the cool stops, but not again, lol. We opted to reach out to go fly Maui and see if there were transport options. I reached out to a couple of helicopter companies and they were the fastest to respond. Magen was fantastic with communication and very thorough answering all of our questions before we even booked anything through them. There was scheduling changes with our flights and they were more than flexible with the changes. That was a reassuring for us since we didn’t have a secondary mode of transportation lined up. Once on ground, Nick made us both feel safe and comfortable with going over pre, during and post flight procedures and protocols. We’re no strangers to helicopters having both served over 24 years each in the military and we both felt Nick was awesome behind the stick. Look into Go Fly Maui first if you’re going out to Hāna and have driven out that way before. You won’t be disappointed. Many Mahalos Nick and Magen, we’ll see you next time!! #thelongestmonth documentary

Go Fly Maui Hurray! My daughter and I had one of those lifetime experiences with Go Fly Maui the first week of February. Nick, our pilot, is a fun, laid back kind of gentleman and a very competent pilot. Go Fly Maui is the only open-door helicopter services I could find on the island that allows cameras on board. Well worth the price of the tour. I am the photographer on the trip so it was important that the pilot knows how to orbit and cant angle the helicopter around the subject properly in order to get the shots I am hoping for. Also, my daughter has been contemplating becoming a pilot. This tour with Nick has further inspired her. Nick somehow arranged a sunny, relatively calm day for our flight and a phenomenal photography shoot. We ended up in the whale birthing area and were fortunate to witness a escort whale defending a mother whale and her calf from an “intruder whale”. The intruder probably was a male wanting to mate with the female putting her calf in danger. The escort whale was successful in rebuffing the intruder. Nick informed me they get to see this type of behavior a couple times a season. However, as Nick told us “We do see this type of thing a few times while the whales are in town but what was so cool and unique was that the mother and calf were being forced into the shallower waters. It just adds to the shot”. Nick knows whale behavior well enough and using his piloting skills, he spoon-fed my camera with shots of the whole escort/intruder event. Thank you, Nick, for giving us such a fun, exciting and productive adventure, Bob and Jade

I have been flying with Nick on our vacations to Maui for 5 years. It's a won't miss it event for me. As a rated Helicopter pilot Nick always makes our flights fun and educational. Maui has a diverse and exciting enviroment to fly and we always have a blast and I leave learning a lot. Plenty to see and do on every flight no matter where you go on the island.

Absolutely unreal experience! My first time in a helicopter and Nick made it an unforgettable time. He was very knowledgeable about the areas we went, also very good at making everyone feel comfortable and safe. Such a people person as well. Was able to laugh and enjoy the trip as much as the rest of us. Thanks so much! Hope too go again next time I'm back

The team at Go Fly Maui are amazing! They helped celebrate the life of my friend by dropping flowers at the burial site, and it was such a beautiful way to say goodbye to my friend as she was put to rest. Communication was absolutely excellent, they text back quickly and seamlessly arranged with the flower vendor to receive the flowers at the hangar without me having to be there. Excellent service, great communication, and very kind.

Why Maui is the Ideal Training Ground

HELICOPTER FLIGHT SCHOOL

Maui isn’t a classroom. It’s a proving ground. Here, you learn to fly in shifting trade winds, complex mountain terrain, and rapidly changing microclimates that demand real awareness and real skill. Training in Maui means learning to read the air, anticipate change, and fly with precision in conditions most pilots won’t experience until years into their careers. When you train here, you don’t just log hours. You build experience.

FLY TO LANAI, HANA, HONOLULU, OR JUST CIRCLE AND SEE THE SIGHTS

PRIVATE CHARTER FLIGHTS

Go Fly Maui offers private helicopter charter services for Maui and the surrounding Hawaiian Islands.

Enjoy the convenience of flying between Kahului and Lanai, Hana, Oahu or Hawaii Island, or plan an island adventure and experience Pacific paradise from the air.

FLY “DOORS OFF” ON A CUSTOM MAUI ADVENTURE

PRIVATE PHOTO FLIGHTS

Maui isn’t just beautiful — it’s one of the mostdynamic places on Earth to practice aerial photography.”

In a single flight, you’ll shoot everything from deep blue ocean and rugged coastline to volcanic ridgelines, waterfalls, rainforest, and sunlit beaches. With multiple microclimates packed into one island, you’ll constantly adapt to changing light, clouds, wind, and weather — sharpening your instincts in real time.

This isn’t a scenic joyride. It’s hands-on aerial photography in a world-class environment. No doors. Your gear in your hands.

Shoot with the aircraft. Not just from it.

Our photo flights are built for photographers of all levels. You’ll work directly with your pilot to position the helicopter for each shot — adjusting altitude, angle, speed, and orbit in real time. Learn the essential photographer–pilot collaboration skills that
translate anywhere in the world.

Bring all your media: GoPro, DSLR, Smartphone.

SHOWCASE THE POWER OF FLOWERS

HELICOPTER FLOWER DROP ON MAUI

Go Fly Maui offers helicopter flower drops and flower showers for special occasions across Maui County, including Maui, Lānaʻi, Molokaʻi.

This is a one-of-a-kind, environmentally friendly way to celebrate life or punctuate any special occasion.

Our helicopter will hover overhead and release a gentle shower of flowers – typically plumeria, bougainvillea or orchids – over the location of your choice.

this isn’t sightseeing. it’s flying.

DISCOVERY FLIGHTS

This isn’t a sightseeing ride. It’s your first time at the controls. Our Discovery Flights are designed for those who don’t just want to look at Maui from above. They want to feel what it’s like to fly it.

With our Chief Pilot beside you, you’ll take control of a Robinson R22 helicopter and experience the responsiveness, balance, and precision of real flight.

From visiting pilots looking to fly Maui’s dynamic terrain to aviation enthusiasts ready to turn curiosity into action, this is hands-on, immersive, and unforgettable. You won’t just see the coastline, valleys and ridgelines. You’ll actively navigate them.

MEET THE TEAM

 

Go Fly Maui, LLC was founded on a passion for aviation, a love for Maui, and a desire to share the thrill of helicopters with island residents and visitors.

The result is a truly unique adventure and an unmatched opportunity to learn to fly in one of the world’s most dynamic environments. Not a corporate flight school, Go Fly Maui is built around real-world experience and personalized training.

Nick Moran serves as Chief Pilot, bringing exceptional skill and a talent for teaching, while Megan Moran directs operations, keeping the schedules, logistics, and details running smoothly.

Together, the team ensures every flight — from discovery tours to advanced training — is tailored to your goals, delivering an experience that’s as professional as it is unforgettable.

CHIEF PILOT

NICK MORAN

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Nick has always loved aviation. He earned his fixed wing Private Pilot License at age 17. As an adult, after an introductory helicopter flight, Nick was hooked and decided to pursue the rest of his training in choppers! As a Helicopter Pilot he completed his Commercial License, Instrument Rating and CFI and CFII Licenses. Shortly after completing his ratings he and his wife Magen moved to Maui, Hawaii, seeking a new adventure in a warmer climate.

Nick’s enthusiasm for teaching and his passion for flying catapulted him to start Go Fly Maui, LLC.

“I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to fly with such beautiful surroundings and with great people on the island of Maui. Being a helicopter pilot has a distinct set of challenges and I wouldn’t be where I am with the support of my wife Magen, and the amazing pilot mentors and friends that I have met along the way.”

– Nick Moran

Favorite quote: Keep your eyes open, you don’t want to miss this.

Managing Director

MAGEN MORAN

Magen Moran, graduated from the University of Puget Sound with a degree in business and marketing. Aviation became a part of her world when she met her husband, Nick Moran. She has an extensive background in project management and is known as the “get it done”, “Director of all the details”.  When not at the airport taking care of the office tasks, she can be found working with her horse, Athena or enjoying time at the beach kiteboarding with Nick and playing with their dog, Teyla.

Favorite Quote: “Desire is the key to motivation, but it’s determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal — a commitment to excellence — that will enable you to attain the success you seek.”
