“PILOTS! Customer service is foreign term here.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2012 via mobile

I was looking for an airplane to rent with guide pilot. I have no idea if Tropicbird does a good job or not, they never called me back to let me know if they could confirm or not. It would have been nice to know, I delayed making other arrangements waiting for their call. I succeeded elsewhere, less expensive too!

I you want to learn about island flying in on of the most gorgeous settings on te planet then look no further. Mike is an excellent instructor with deep aviation and island knowledge. See more than you would on a helicopter tour while paying less and learning a ton. The most fun I've ever had in school!

And while any aerial tour over Hawaii provides an unforgettable experience, there is a way to not only save money, but to get an even more unforgettable experience. That's where Tropicbird Flight Service comes... More
