My wife and I drove to Hana (I think it's a mandate if you are in Maui). We didn't find the drive to be too bad and we agree, you need to stop along the way. One thing we did that we hadn't planned to do was to take a glider ride at the Hana airport. While coming over the... more

My husband and I traveled the Road to Hana while on our honeymoon in October. The views getting there were incredible and little did we know the best was yet to come. We arrived at the Hana airport where we met Hans. He was wonderful!! It felt like I'd known him forever. He explained everything to us thoroughly, which made... more

My wife and I went to the Hana airport so I could go for a ride in a powered hang glider. While waiting (there where two people who had reservations ahead of me) I met Bill the pilot for SKyview Soaring and decided to go up with him. My wife and I had been in a glider before and while... more

This is by far the most scenic gliding experience I have ever had. After a smooth takeoff from Hana airport we ventured out over the sea and climbed to 11,000 feet through amazing cloud formations rolling off the Maui Volcano. The jagged volcanic coast and thick green jungle of the lower volcanic slopes were clearly visible as was the 'Big... more

Because of time constraints, we almost passed up this amazing experience soaring above the clouds...we are so thankful we didn't. Our glider flight with Bill was one of the highlights of our two-week vacation in Hawaii. It was an incredible feeling and a beautiful sight when the engine was turned off and we were just hanging in the air! Bill... more

Bill, Just wanted to say thanks for the great flight I had today with you! It was an absolute blast, and I will remember it for many years to come. You can be sure the next time I get back to Hana, I will be giving you a call for another ride in your Diamond, which your airplane truly is.... more

Taking a ride on the glider plane was exactly as the name of the company indicates, (Skyview Soaring). The flight over the coast of east Maui was not only breath taking, but as you fly up and around the clouds you have the feeling of oneness with the sky and ocean. The pilots are very professional and informative and are... more

Driving in to Hana, we saw a sign at the airport road that said "Glider Rides". We drove in, met Hans and Bill, saw their gorgeous aircrafts, and went for the rides of our life. This is not the slick kind of operation that the helicopter flights on Maui have. There are no t shirts, no professional photos, and no... more
