This is the way to see the east side. Hans is an excellent pilot with many moons of experience. Flying over the crater was incredible and this is the only way you can do it.

My wife and I have been to Maui 5 times in the last 20 years and have always driven the road to Hana. Yeah waterfalls, streams, rainbows abound and of course the drive is always worth it.... even on the other side. This time I noticed the sign at the Hana airport about glider rides. What was this all about,... More

My better-half and I each did the 1 hour flight over the crater, and the flights were well worth the price! Hans is, as other reviews have mentioned, very professional and just a very likeable guy. There is so much of the Hana area to see from the air, and Hans makes a very knowledgeable tour guide. If you want,... More

My wife and I were staying in Hana for 4 nights and on day two we decided to wander over to the Hana airport to see what this glider flight through the Haleakala crater was all about. When we got there, Hans Pieters walked over to where we were standing and gave us a quick run down of the tour.... More

My wife and I took a trip to Maui for my 30th birthday, and spend a few days in Hana (Nahiku area). My wife bought me a glider trip with Hans for my birthday, and it was a wonderful experience. Hans is a great pilot/tour guide, and was very accommodating. The weather wasn't ideal the day we went, and he... More

My wife and I recently visited Maui for whale watching in January 2012. We were looking for something different to do, and found Skyview Soaring on Trip Advisor. All the reviews were awesome, so we decided to go for it. This ended up being the highlight of the trip! Since Haleakala is a national park, there is a restriction that... More

Great ride even for an avid pilot. Hans makes the trip very fun if you want to pull a couple of g's. This is a trip not to pass up when go to Hana

I'm a licensed private pilot, so I flew the katana from the right seat, except for take-off and landing. Had an excellent flight in perfect weather. Very different aircraft from my C172, so a great learning experience.

I made a birthday flight with Hans! Hans is a very good pilot, you feel very safe and relaxed. We flew along the coast and the views from the sky are amazing! Check the picture from the rainbow! So nice!!!! Definitely a must do!
