Here's how to "top off" a trip to Hana - take a power hang gliding flight. There is a lot written about the Road to Hana - its winding road, green foliage, and, of course the beautiful waterfalls. But, I never would have driven it if it wasn't for what was waiting at the Hana Airport. Armin & Karin Engert... More

I cannot really express in words how thrilling and fun my hour-long flight with Armin was last Thursday, but I guess I'll give it a try. First of all, Armin is as friendly and engaging a person as you will ever meet in your life. I was fortunate enough to have a beautiful clear, sunny day for my lesson, the... More

For a bit of a splurge while staying in Hana, I booked half hour flight lessons for my wife and me. I found the experience to be exhilarating and serene at the same time. I travel a lot for work, so it is easy to get jaded about the wonder of flight-- but when the instructor Armen gave me the... More

Life can be truly amazing if you allow yourself to grow and have experiences. While so many activities are available on the island of MAUI, my wife and I wanted to do something that would be a lasting memory. After reading the blue book - Maui Revealed, we read about the powered hang glider at the Hana Airport. As a... More

The wife and I paid a visit to the Hana airport and each took a lesson with Armin on his trike. This was hands down the best experience we had during our stay in Hana which is saying a lot considering how enjoyable the whole trip was. You may be put off by the price tag at first but I... More

My wife and I each took a half hour flight which was amazing. The scenery is incredible and you feel safe throughout. At first I was a bit worried but once we got off the ground it became clear that the owner is a great pilot. Do yourself a favor and get the best view of Maui available!

Our entire family participated in this event on April 1st at the Hana airport. The pilot Armin is a fantastic instructor who taught us all the basics of flying and how the trike worked. We learned how to turn the trike while cruising at 60 mph about 3200 feet over the Maui coastline, as well as fascinating details about the... More

I have always wanted to try hang gliding, but as a family man I could not afford the risk of the learning curve. Flying in a motorized hang glider with an experienced pilot/instructor such as Armin is likely as close to "flying like a bird" as I will get, and it was truly great! Armin clearly has his act together.... More

This was super fun! Armin is a great teacher and fantastic operator - my partner and I learned a lot about 'trike' gliding, and this was the highlight of our trip to Maui. I would highly recommend the 45 minute lesson - plenty of time to become comfortable with the aircraft, see a TON of beautiful sights, and learn some... More

Armin was a wonderful guy with a great sense of humor as well as a terrific sense of adventure. What a way to see Hawaii...the mountains, the ocean, the waterfalls!!! It is always great when someone shares with you something they obviously love.
