First, I'll register my interest in this as well... we're heading to Maui in
September for a week, then the big island for another week. I'm interested
in a Cessna tho.

Second, I'll highly recommend Stewart Ishimoru, at Eveland Aero, Honolulu
Int'l. I know it's not Maui, but I feel I need to give him a nod just the
same.

When my wife and I went on our honeymoon a year and a half ago, we took a
1.5 hour flight with Stewart. I had just earned my PPL, and wanted to fly
around the island, but didn't want to get checked out to do it solo... one
flight was enough for that particular trip. Stewart guided me around HNL,
and I handled the controls for about half the flight... whenever I wanted to
take a picture, he gladly took the controls for a few minutes, then let me
take them back. It was a great experience to see all of Oahu from above! At
the end of the flight, Stewart commented that I must have had a great
instructor, because my flying was excellent! I was very pleased to hear that
(as was my instructor when I told him after we returned).

An ironic note about the flight... if we had just gone to a place to go on
an island tour, it would have cost about double what we paid! So my advice
to people who want to take an aerial tour in Hawaii now is... take an
introductory flight lesson instead... it's cheaper! :-)

Will be staying in Maui for 10 days starting Saturday. Would like to
find a rental Archer to use for sightseeing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Nathan
