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

When I was on the Big Island in the fall my wife and I rented a C-172
from Island Hoppers and toured the entire island. We left Kona and
headed south along the coast. Flew over south point and then up to the
Volcano's National Park. Got to fly over the Puu OO vent and see lava
up-close. Next we headed over to Hilo and up the coast towards the
north side of the island. Clouds were starting to build on the Hilo
side of the island (10am) but we were still VFR. Kona was severe clear
VFR.

I think the entire flight lasted about 2.5 hours and cost ~$350. This
included the instructor since I didn't want to waste time getting
checked out and learning how to pronounce the names of some of the
reporting points. Compared to a 45 minute helicopter flight that cost
about $500 it's a great deal. Plus you get to log the flight time.
