Enjoying the great outdoors. 大自然を満喫

Reviewed by: M.K

I was looking forward to seeing the lava of Kilauea on the Big Island from an angle that can't be seen from the ground, but I was a bit disappointed as it was just smoke. However, when we entered Waipi'o Valley, it was breathtaking. I was very moved.

The pilot was also very nice.

As others in the group mentioned, we were hoping for a Japanese or Japanese-speaking pilot, but we had an English speaker instead. I think they should contact us in advance if they can't meet our request. If I had known, I would have chosen another company. It was a very good flight and the staff were great, so it was a bit disappointing to see that lack of transparency. Because of that, I am deducting one star.

地上からでは見られない角度からのハワイ島、ｷﾗｳｪｱの溶岩が楽しみだったのですが煙のみで少しがっかりでした。

ドルフィン・クエスト　イルカと触れ合えるプログラムが充実！キッズ向けプログラム＜ヒルトン・ワイコロア・ビレッジ内＞

It connected to the memories and growth of children. 子どもの思い出と成長に繋がった

Reviewed by: A.M

The reservation indicated a duration of 10 minutes, but the overall time was about 30 minutes. The time to touch the dolphin was 10 minutes, which was sufficient for a three-year-old.

The process involved receiving explanations with other reservation groups, using a stuffed dolphin to demonstrate how to interact with the dolphins and what to be cautious about, which sparked the children's interest in a fun way. After that, two family groups began interacting with the dolphins, gently touching their backs and feeding them fish. While taking photos, we were also able to see the dolphins jump at times.

Although my child was scared, they were able to pet the dolphin, and it seems to have left a memorable experience for them.

Since taking photos with your own camera is not allowed (smartphones are also prohibited), you will need to purchase photos, which are not cheap. They are about the same price as photos bought at an amusement park, or slightly higher. The cost varies depending on whether you buy all the image data or select a certain number of photos.

If you want to keep photo costs down, it might be a good idea to ask a family member who is not participating to take pictures from outside the area. I ended up purchasing about three photo files because there was no one to take pictures for me. It became a wonderful memory.

予約内容は10分との表記でしたが、全体時間は30分くらいの時間だったと思います。イルカを触る時間が10分なのですが、三歳児くらいであればその程度で十分でした。

流れは、他の予約グループと説明を受け、
イルカのさわり方や注意することをイルカの
ぬいぐるみを使いながら、楽しく子どもの興味を沸かせていました。
その後、家族のグループ2つでそれぞれイルカと触れ合い開始。背中を優しく触ったり、魚をあげたり。写真を撮っていただきながら、時にはイルカのジャンプも見ることができました。

子どもは恐がりながらも撫でることができ、頑張った思い出として残っているようです。

自分のカメラで撮影をすることはNGなため（スマホもダメ）写真を買うことになりますが、安くはありません。アミューズメントパークで買う写真と同じくらいか、少し上くらい。
画像データまたは写真を全てか、選択した枚数で金額が変わります。

写真代を抑えたいのであれば、例えば他の参加しない家族に撮影をお願いするなどして、外のエリアから撮ってもらうのも手だと思います。
私は、撮ってくれる人が居なかったため写真データを3枚ほど購入しました。
良い思い出となりました。

Reviewed by: catchme

The helicopter tour was wonderful and moving, with great weather. However, I had requested a Japanese guide, and that was not the case. I understood that it wasn't guaranteed, but I thought my request should have been communicated to the operating company, so it would have been nice to receive an explanation that "there is no Japanese guide." Perhaps I was expecting too much since I have always had enjoyable experiences with VELTRA, but I was really looking forward to having a Japanese guide, so it was disappointing.

ヘリツアーは天気もよく感動的で素晴らしかった。ただ、日本人のガイド希望でオーダーしていたのに、そうではなかった点。確約ではないことは承知していましたが、リクエストは運行会社に伝わっているはずですから、「日本語ではないです」旨の説明があってもよかったのかなと思いました 。今までVELTRAさんで楽しい経験ばかりだったので期待しすぎたせいかもしれませんが、日本語ガイドを楽しみにしていただけに残念です。

There were wonderful things too. 素晴らしいこともあったよ

Reviewed by: sho

One thing that was a bit disappointing was that I couldn't see any lava. Even though I was looking down into the crater, it was just a big hole because it had calmed down. I thought I would be able to see the lava entering the sea, but it seems that either there was never a plan for that, or it was no longer possible due to the calm.

The optional trip down to the base of the waterfall was amazing. I can't really gauge the true scale, but it felt like being at the bottom of Kegon Falls, looking up from below. There was no one else around, so it felt like a private waterfall. There's only enough space for one helicopter to land, and I don't think you can get there by car. I highly recommend this optional tour.

The helicopter guide and pilot was a Japanese person. It seems that the group I happened to be with had booked through the guide's website, which is why a Japanese guide was assigned. Requesting a Japanese guide might not be very effective.

Lastly, it was my first time on a helicopter, and if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication. The vibrations from the helicopter can make you feel queasy. The flight itself wasn't scary, and even though it was my first time, I didn't feel particularly moved by it (laughs).

少しガッカリしたことは溶岩が見れなかったこと。火口を上から見てるのに、沈静化したためにただの大きな穴でした。溶岩が海に入っていくところが見れるのかと思っていたら、もともとそんな予定がなかったのか、沈静化したことでなくなったなのか、見れませんでした。
オプショナルの滝の麓に降りるやつは凄かったです。本当の規模はわかりませんが、華厳の滝の滝つぼ付近に降りたってしたから上を見るような感じです。私たち以外誰もいませんのでプライベート滝？です。ヘリコプター1台が降り立つスペースしかないし、車では来れないと思います。このオプショナルはオススメです。
ヘリコプターのガイド兼操縦士さんは日本人の方でした。どうやらたまたま一緒に乗り合わせたグループの方がガイドさんのホームページから予約されたため、日本人の方がガイドに着いたようです。日本語ガイドの希望を出しても、あまり意味が無いかもです。
最後に、ヘリコプターに初めて乗りましたが、酔いやすい人は酔い止め飲んだ方がいいかもです。ヘリコプターの振動が酔いそうになります。飛行自体は怖くもなく、初めて乗ったのですが、あまり感動はなかったです(笑)

This is an activity you can experience near the lagoon pool at Waikoloa Village. An instructor will accompany each group, allowing you to interact with dolphins. Even if you can't swim, the life jackets provide enough buoyancy, so you'll be fine!

You won't be able to take photos with your own camera. A photographer will take pictures for you, which you'll need to purchase. We received all the photos (81 images) on a USB. It is a bit pricey, but since it's a rare experience that you can't usually have, it might be worth it.

Awesome tour

Reviewed by: Jason

Our guide, Gordon, made sure the shuttle ride was comfortable and enjoyable. the stargazing and sunset views were amazing! It is well recommended to take this tour.

Lasagna was a bit salty for asian taste in my opinion. Browny, cookies and drinks were nice. Jumpers and gloves were provided but it was still cold, so it would be better if you brought more warm clothings.

One thing, i came on this tour with my wife (newly weds) but the seats were limited, so we had to sit separately :( it would be nice if there were seating plans or notice beforehand.

Nonetheless, i would take this tour again if I do ever come back to the big island!

You can have a great time even without the premium seats (ALII SEAT). プレミアムシート（ALII　SEAT）でなくとも十分楽しめる

Reviewed by: 初ハワイ

It was a rare pattern for all five family members to visit Hawaii and the Big Island for the first time, but we participated in search of the Hawaiian experience. We arrived before 5 PM and were second in line; the first person did not have a premium seat, so we ended up with a table right in the center of the front row. The show allowed us, as first-time visitors to Hawaii, to feel the essence of Hawaii and was a fun, interactive experience for everyone. However, I believe you can enjoy it just as much without a premium seat. The premium seat included valet parking, so we used the Hilton's valet parking, but when we dropped off the car, they didn't ask for our name (they asked if we were guests, and I mentioned we were there for the show), and we didn't receive any valet parking tickets after the show, but it turned out to be free. It seems like the management is a bit casual in this regard (it might be possible to use it for free even without a premium seat).

家族5人が全員初ハワイ・初ハワイ島という今どき珍しいパターンですが、ハワイらしさを求めて参加しました。17時前に行ったところ2番目で、1番目の方はプレミアムシートではなかったため、結果として最前列ど真ん中のテーブルとなりました。ショーは初心者ハワイ組にとっては、ハワイらしさを感じることが出来、全員参加型の楽しいものでした。ただしプレミアムシートでなくとも十分楽しめると思います。プレミアムシートだとVALEET　PARKING代も含まれていましたので、ヒルトンのVALEET　PARKINGを利用しましたが、車を預ける際に名前を聞かれることもなく（宿泊者ですか？と聞かれたので、ショーを観に来たことは伝えました）、ショー終了後にVALEET　PARKINGのチケットなどももらえませんでしたが、結果的には無料でした。このあたり、アバウトな運営のようです（プレミアムでなくとも無料で利用出来るのでは・・）

My first helicopter ride!!! 人生初のヘリコプター！！！

Reviewed by: チロちゃん

I took a helicopter from Waikoloa. It was my first time on a helicopter, and just watching the helicopters return from the morning tour got me so excited! I was given an emergency life jacket, boarded the helicopter, and was handed a headset and intercom—wow, so cool!! At first, I was nervous and a bit scared during takeoff, but it didn't shake at all, and the views were amazing, so I was able to enjoy it. Due to the active activity of Kilauea volcano, we couldn't get close to Halemaʻumaʻu Crater, but entering the bays of the Hamakua Coast and getting close to the waterfall was an experience unique to the helicopter. I was so excited that I forgot to take motion sickness medication before getting on, so I ended up looking down the whole time and got a little nauseous along the way. Next time, I plan to take motion sickness medicine and definitely want to see Halemaʻumaʻu Crater.

ワイコロア発のヘリコプターに乗りました。
人生初のヘリコプターで、朝一番のツアーから戻ってくるヘリコプターを見ているだけで、大興奮!　緊急用の救命胴衣を着けてもらって、乗り込み、ヘッドセットとインカムを渡されて、うわっ、カッコいい!!　最初は緊張していて、離陸も少し怖かったけど、全然揺れないし、景色は良く見えるしで、楽しむことができました。キラウエア火山の活動が活発だったため、ハレマウマウ火口には近寄れませんでしたが、ハマクアコーストの入り江に入って、滝に接近したのはヘリコプターならではの体験でした。興奮していて、乗る前に乗り物酔いを飲み忘れてしまったので、下ばかり見ていて、途中少し酔ってしまいました。次回は酔い止め薬を飲んで、是非ハレマウマウ火口を見たいと思います。

The landing at the waterfall is amazing! WaterfallへのLandingが最高！

Reviewed by: Mahalo

We participated in a tour from Kona with two adults and three children (6th grade, 3rd grade, and kindergarten) that included a visit to Waipi'o Valley and Kīlauea Volcano with a waterfall landing option. Our pilot was Toshi, a Japanese pilot (Mochizuki). We had informed them during the booking process that we preferred a Japanese pilot. There were two American couples and our family of five, making a total of seven people, so Toshi kindly explained everything in both English and Japanese. Since the children understood English, he switched to primarily English explanations partway through. Toshi is usually off on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

As for the tour itself, I was surprised at how stable the helicopter was; it didn't shake or make much noise. Just in case, the children took motion sickness medication, but it seemed unnecessary. In fact, the younger two got sleepy from the medication and almost fell asleep. Of course, individual experiences may vary, but I think it's much less likely to cause motion sickness than a boat. As of August, Kīlauea Volcano's activity has decreased, and we couldn't see any lava flows. However, we could see magma bubbling near the crater. More than that, the scenery around the valley was absolutely stunning. Personally, I recommend the views here even more. Additionally, we opted for the landing near the waterfall, and I highly recommend this. You can enjoy a waterfall that can only be accessed by helicopter all to yourself.

After the tour, you can purchase a video of the helicopter ride for $40, which includes footage from both inside and outside the helicopter. They save the video on a USB stick for you. The music played through the headphones during the tour matched the visuals perfectly, and I’m glad we made the purchase.

The price isn't cheap, but I believe it's worth it. Definitely enjoy the breathtaking views with the waterfall landing option.

大人2名と子供3名（小6、小3、年長）でコナ発、ワイピオ渓谷とキラウエア火山遊覧にWaterfall landing のオプション付きで参加しました。パイロットは日本人パイロットのToshiさん（望月さん）でした。申し込み段階で、一応「日本人パイロット希望」の旨は連絡していました。アメリカ人夫婦2名と我が家5名の計7名だったので、Toshiさんは英語と日本語を織り交ぜて丁寧に説明してくれました。子供達も英語は理解できることがわかったので、途中からは英語メインに切り替えて説明してくれました。Toshiさんは確か金土日曜日はお休みのはずです。
ツアー内容ですが、まず、ヘリコプターがとても安定しており、揺れない、うるさくないことにびっくり。念のため子供達は酔い止めを飲んでいましたが、必要なかったようです。逆に下2人は酔い止めで眠くなり、ほぼ寝ていました。。もちろん個人差はあると思いますが、船よりは全然酔いにくいと思います。キラウエア火山は8月現在活動が低下しており、溶岩流は見えませんでした。火口付近にマグマがボコボコしている様子は見えました。それよりも、渓谷付近の景色が最高でした。個人的にはこちらの景色の方がおススメです。あと、滝の近くに着陸するオプションを申し込んだのですが、これは絶対おススメです。ヘリコプターでしかアプローチできない滝を独り占めできます。
ツアーが終わると、オフィスにてツアー中のヘリ内外を撮影したビデオを$40で購入できます。USBスティックにビデオを保存して渡してくれます。こちらもツアー中にヘッドホンから流れてくる音楽と映像がマッチしており、購入して良かったです。
お値段は安くはないですが、それだけの価値はあると思います。是非、滝への着陸オプションで絶景を堪能ください。

While waiting, there were drinks available, and since it was in a corridor, the sunlight wasn't an issue.

I completed the check-in without any problems and felt great with the lei around my neck. Since I had a premium seat, I was able to go to the buffet first, which was a relief for someone like me who loves to eat a lot. I was in the fourth row from the front, and my neighbor happened to be Japanese, which made it comfortable.

The staff and the show were all in English, but even if you don't understand, it was enjoyable enough. There were hardly any dishes I couldn't eat, and everything was delicious, leaving me quite full. (The corn was different from what I'm used to in Japan, so I didn't quite like it.)

I wish the photos were a bit cheaper, so I deducted points for that.

I had a wonderful experience. It was my first time in a helicopter, so I was honestly a bit worried at first, but I found it to be a stable ride.

The volcano is impressive, but the Waipi'o Valley is simply breathtaking.

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Very few places could match this experience

Reviewed by: Darra

Very few places could match this experience. The location; the slow climb up the giant sloping mountain. We went through rain, sun, even through a cloud; through the lava landscape, ranch lands and very bumpy rocky last stretch of road to reach the top! And wow it was a view from the top.
Be warned; it is very very cold; not what you expect from your Hawaiian break! You get nice warm coats from the tour group though (and later a little hot cocoa and brownie to keep you going!)
As the sun sets; you can see the mountains shadow on the other side; a glimpse of Maui and the glint of the sun off the telescopes preparing for their nights work. You can see the odd bit of movement as they open up. As soon as the suns down; its all go though. We have to leave the area quickly as the lights from the cars interfere with the telescopes (so no, there is no looking around inside them; if that is what you're hoping for in this trip!).
We move down slope a little to a good spot to see the huge expanse of clear, cloudless sky and the abundance of stars.
It is slightly interrupted with the brightness of the moon (so depending how long your stay is in Hawaii, plan for a darker night, unless you love the moon!); but not enough to stop us seeing nebula, planets and stars - its a really interesting spot to see both the northern and southern skies.
We did also spot a bit of the glow from the erupting volcano

I participated hoping to see the magma of Kilauea Volcano, but due to weather conditions, the "Waipi'o Valley and Kilauea Volcano Tour" was canceled, and instead, we had the "Kohala Mountains and Hamakua Coast Tour." It was disappointing, but I look forward to the next opportunity. The female pilot was very skilled, and I felt safe while sightseeing.

キラウエアの火山のマグマを期待して参加しましたが、今回は気象状況により、「 ワイピオ渓谷とキラウエア火山遊覧」が不催行となり、「コハラ山脈とハマクアコースト遊覧」となりました。残念でしたが次回に期待したいと思います。女性パイロットのかたの操縦はとても上手で、安心して観光できました。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Cool Views from the Top of the World!

Reviewed by: Ned from New Jersey

Our guide Jeff picked us up from the Pu'u Huluhulu Cinder Cone parking lot, at the base of the road up to the summit. We had a very nice pre-packaged dinner at the base camp, then rode up to the visitor center and onward to the observatories. A bumpy and steep ride, I was very happy to have an experienced driver at the wheel!
At the top the weather was cool and clear and good for viewing a sunset, then we went down to a slightly lower lot to view stars and planets through a good quality Celestron scope.... the clear air and high altitude really added detail! First time I have been able to make out the rings of Saturn, and four of Jupiter's moons were posing really well for us! Some really excellent deep space views too! Check out a cool image of the moon from the Celestron scope....

Highly recommended, especially if you live somewhere with so much haze and light pollution you don't get to see that stars that well!
Mahalo!!

Mauna Kea Evening Stargazing & Daytime Solar Viewing Tour with Dinner

One of the highlights of our trip!

Reviewed by: Hawaiian First Timer

Husband and I throughly enjoyed the excursion! Our guide blew us away with his well rounded knowledge of the island, its geography and history. The coffee farm and meal were a special treat before an evening of stargazing.

マウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測ツアー ＜午後／天体望遠鏡／夕食付／英語ガイド＞ by ハワイフォレスト＆トレイル

The best experience! 最高の体験！

Reviewed by: CORSAIR

It was a wonderful tour.

The summit of Mauna Kea was above the clouds, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sunset and stargazing, as well as photographing the night sky. I was also amazed to see the phenomenon of Kilauea's lava illuminating the sky in red from the summit.

The guide's explanations and guidance were of a high level, and they were very knowledgeable in various fields. The atmosphere, environment, and taste of the dining location were also impeccable.

全てが素晴らしいツアーでした。

マウナケア山頂は雲の上であり、とても美しいサンセットと星空観賞、星空撮影を満喫できました。キラウエアの溶岩が空を赤く照らす現象も山頂から眺められたことに驚きました。

ガイドの説明や案内のレベルも高く、様々な分野にとても詳しい方でした。
食事場所の雰囲気や環境、味も文句なしです。

Reviewed by: とこな

Could one really say they came to the Big Island without seeing this breathtaking view...? It was such a magnificent sight. I was able to take my time and enjoy it for two hours.

この絶景を見ずにしてビッグアイランドに来たと言えるだろうか。。。というくらいの壮大な景色。2時間かけてゆっくりとみることができました。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Absolutely wonderful experience

Reviewed by: YOPPI

The tour guide Herald was very nice, friendly and knowledgeble on native hawaiian's culture, ecology and astronomy. We got to see a "natural planetarium" in the mountain including Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus. Coming from a big city we don't see stars in the sky, so the view was just breath taking and we were soooo glad we participated in the tour. I guess you can go to the summit and see stars on your own but I'd strongly recommend this tour. Because I think it will give you a whole new experience and view on the island and their culture.
Dinner was tasty too. I was expecting a lot less.

This time, we participated as a couple. Originally, we planned to walk on the lava, but due to the incredible force of the eruption, it has been canceled. It’s quite expensive, but I felt sorry for the residents of Hawaii for this rare situation that happens once every few hundred years, and I wanted to see it with my own eyes.

I was very satisfied with the actual participation. We were the only Japanese people there, but since I mentioned that we couldn't speak English, we weren't approached for conversation, and we were able to enjoy ourselves together.

今回夫婦で参加しました。本当は溶岩の上を歩く予定でしたが、噴火の勢いがすごく今中止になってるため、いいお値段しますが、何百年に1回のこの惨状をハワイの住人には申し訳ないけどこの目でしっかり見ておきたかったです。
実際参加させてもらい大満足でした。日本人は私どもだけでしたが、英語できないと言っておいたので話を振られることもなく、2人で楽しめました。
