"The variety of experience that is gained at MLH is unparallel. Training at here gives you experience in the mountains at high density altitudes and in the valleys, Class G, D, C and B airspace, off shore, Long Line, Photo and the most extensive emergency procedure training there is. You also get comfortable flying in high winds and unpredictable weather patterns. I can think of no other school that can offer all of these things."

Which Mauna Loa Helicopters Location is Best for You?
| Truth be told, you can’t go wrong no matter which Mauna Loa base you choose. The Hawaiian Islands are incredible, intriguing and visually stunning. The place is rich in history and culture and it truly represents a melting pot of ethnicities. Plus, you’d be hard-pressed to find another spot on earth with such varied terrain and a climate so perfect for flying. What will make one Mauna Loa base appeal to you more than another depends almost entirely on your lifestyle and personal preference. With that in mind, Mauna Loa Helicopters brings you this brief tour of the advantages of each of our three island bases. |

Kauai - "The Garden Isle"
Kauai is a friendly and relaxed place, a small island with a small town feel. It’s a wonderful place, a community of 58,000 residents with a slow-paced Hawaiian life style. From beautiful Waimea Canyon and powdery white sand beaches to the breathtaking Na Pali Coast, the Garden Isle offers dramatic vistas in every direction. When you think of Hawaii it’s possible that you picture scenes from Jurassic Park, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Avatar or any number of other films shot on Kauai, so primeval is the setting.

Hawai'i - The Big Island
Larger than all the other Hawaiian Islands combined, the Big Island is vast and diverse. Comprising over 4,000-square miles of land area and home to about 150-thousand people, there’s lots of room to move here. And, as is the case with the other islands, there are ocean sports aplenty with kayaking, scuba, snorkeling, body boarding and surfing as well as hiking, biking, hunting and many other outdoor activities.
