Best ever!!!

Reviewed by: Denise Richard , 2022/09/30

Wow!!! Let's start by saying Wow!!! This is a bucket list must! An this is the best place to ride in a glider. You won't regret it. All the guys that work here are so friendly. Very knowledgeable and very helpful. And Mr. Bill is such a character. He was very funny great sense of humor great personality. Place is well-maintained as even restrooms. And if you have to wait you can walk across the street to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. You've got to try this. The views from the plane ride are breathtaking. You can see mountains, beach and on a clear sunny day the island of Kauai. Once you get up in the air it's quiet and beautiful. It's a touch of Heaven.

Wonderful, unique experience!

Reviewed by: CoCoCorinne, 2017/03/17

We were slightly nervous but very excited. When we arrived, the ease and experience of the pilots and staff took away any concerns. The ride was smooth, serene and very fun. The views from up above were absolutely amazing! We even saw whales from the sky! I would highly recommend this activity to anyone. It may seem scary, but the ride was very secure and the pilot very experienced.

Beautiful Trip

This was on my sixty-seven year old father's bucket list and it made his trip to Hawaii. I highly recommend, even for nervous fliers. Quite serene actually. Thank you Mr. Bill and pilot J.J. for a wonderful trip!

Fantastic! Highly recommended! Beautiful view!
Great pilot and friendly Mr Bill offered us two flights because the winds were not quite right for a 20 minute flight.

Mr. Bill's Glider Ride

Reviewed by: The Jim man, 2014/09/23

I would highly recommend taking a glider ride up on the North Shore of Oahu to everyone. It was a bucket list item for me and did not disappoint. Very professional staff and my pilot Sean was exceptional. He let me take the controls for about five minutes of the ride. The views are spectacular. Very affordable and the best 20-30 minutes you will spend in the Islands. Be sure and take a Go Pro camera or do I as did and rent one from the glider folks. I have a great DVD of my entire flight.

Reviewed by: Sevans7076, 2009/02/14

The glider ride was fantatic!! It was the highlight of our trip. The view was great. The ride was smooth. Our pilot was certified and had plenty of experience. It wasn't too expensive which was really nice. I would recommend it to anyone going to Hawaii.
