キラウエア火山　ドアなし ヘリコプター遊覧 ＜英語パイロット／フライト60分／ヒロ空港集合＞ by パラダイスヘリコプター

The best experience 最高の体験

Reviewed by: おてつ

I was hesitant to participate because the price was high, but I really wanted to see the red lava, so I decided to join.

The helicopter with doors had a pilot plus six passengers, while the doorless helicopter had a pilot plus four passengers.

Check-in time is one hour before departure. I parked my rental car in the airport parking lot and paid about $7 at the parking lot exit on my way back. Luggage is generally left at the reception. If you want to bring items like cameras or smartphones, they must have a strap, so be careful. A short strap can be purchased for $2. I brought my smartphone in a waterproof cover with a strap since it couldn't have a strap attached. Long hair needs to be tied up.

Forty minutes before departure, we watched a video about lava and volcanoes, followed by a safety briefing from the staff regarding seat belts and other instructions.

It was my first time on a helicopter, so I was scared at first, but the view of the Big Island from above was wonderful. It rained on and off that day, and there were moments of heavy rain on the ground, but we were able to depart without any issues, and I didn't get wet inside the doorless helicopter. On the way to the volcano, we saw vast macadamia nut fields. I could easily spot the ocean entry from the smoke rising, but I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't see the red lava. Along the way, we circled above the area where the red lava was visible among the black lava fields, allowing us to take photos. They circled so that both sides could take pictures, which made me a little nauseous.

At the crater, most of the surface was black, but I was very moved to see some red lava bubbling. (It was something I personally really wanted to see.)

After that, we returned to Hilo through breaks in the clouds. Along the way, we saw several waterfalls and the streets of Hilo. The pilot provided explanations in English throughout.

The flight lasted just under an hour, but I was very satisfied to see the red lava, adding to the extraordinary experience of being in a helicopter. I also considered a boat tour to see the ocean entry, but based on the activity in August 2017, it seemed that the ocean entry wasn't flowing with a lot of red lava, so I felt glad to have participated in this tour where I could directly see the red lava inside the crater.

値段も高いので参加を迷っていましたが、赤い溶岩をどうしても見てみたくて参加しました。

ドアありがパイロットプラス6人乗りのヘリコプターでドアなしはパイロットプラス4人乗りのヘリコプターでした。

チェックイン時間は出発時間の1時間前。
レンタカーは空港の駐車場に停めて帰りに駐車場の出口で7ドル？くらい払いました。
荷物は基本受付に預けて置いていきます。
カメラやスマホなど持ち込みたいものはストラップ付きでないと不可なので気をつけて。
短いストラップが2ドルで買えます。
ストラップのつけられないスマホはストラップ付きの防水カバーに入れて持ち込みました。
長い髪は束ねる必要があります。
出発時間の40分前から溶岩・火山に関するビデオを見た後に係員によるシートベルトなどの説明がありました。

ヘリコプターが初めてだったので最初は怖かったけど上空から見るハワイ島の景色はとても素敵でした。
この日は雨が降ったり止んだりで、地上では一瞬強い雨の時もあったけど問題なく出発できましたし、ドアなしでも機内で濡れることはなかったです。
ボルケーノに向かう途中では広大なマカダミアナッツ畑が見れました。
オーシャンエントリーは立ち上る煙で遠くからすぐわかりましたが赤い溶岩は見えなくて少しがっかり。
途中、黒い溶岩の大地の中で赤い溶岩が見えているところの上空を旋回して写真を撮らせてくれたりしました。左右どちらに乗っても撮れるように旋回してくれたので若干酔いました。
火口では表面の大部分が黒いですが、一部赤い溶岩がふつふつと動いているのが見れてとても感動しました。
（個人的にとても見たかったものなので）

その後は雲の切れ間を通りヒロへと帰還。
途中いくつかの滝を見たりヒロの街並みが見れます。
パイロットが英語でひたすら説明してくれます。

合計1時間弱のフライトでしたがヘリコプターという非日常に加えて念願の赤い溶岩が見れて大満足でした。
オーシャンエントリーが見られる船のツアーとも迷いましたが2017年8月の活動の様子だとオーシャンエントリーではがっつり赤い溶岩が流れてくるというわけではなさそうな感じがしたので火口の内部の赤い溶岩を直接見ることができたこのツアーに参加して良かったと思いました。

Volcano Tour

Reviewed by: Sakhom

It was a great experience with full explanation from the pilots along the way. We all did enjoy it. The only flip side was the video record from our helicopter which turned to be the old system on the disc and the quality was pretty bad, considering buying the better quality for the customers to buy later on. Not all of them have a good video camera.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Discover Hilo Tour - Volcanic Landscapes & Waterfalls

Started out rough, but was a fun time

Reviewed by: Dotman

We arrived at the appointed time for check in after making the 2 hour drive from the opposite side of the island. We were greeted nicely, had a short conversation, then found out the booking agent sent the email with the requested date/time, but the booking agent actually booked us for the following day.

After a few minutes, the tour company resolved the oversight by calling in the standby pilot, upgraded us to the bigger helicopter (to fly with only us), and would provide us with a free copy of the flight video. The only issue was it would be an hour later than our scheduled time. This gave us time to eat lunch at the airport before our new check in time, so no worries.

The flight was fun, great photo opportunities of the volcano areas/lava tubes, and very interesting facts from the seasoned pilot. I would use this company again despite the scheduling error.

Good first time zipline

Reviewed by: Sam

Went with my wife and sister, it's easy to find and has parking available. The staff is friendly and helpful. The zipline course itself is through beautiful landscapes and a small valley with a river at the bottom. Overall if you have ziplined before in treetops this course won't be as exciting for you. I would still recommend for the views and to those who haven't done ziplining before.

I brought my daughter and granddaughter to visit my parents who live in Hawaii. My parents had never done the helicopter tour and it exceeded our expectations. Our pilot was also a biologist and gave us lots of information about the island. The kids (teenagers) couldn't stop smiling. We had four generations in that helicopter and all of us loved the experience. Highly recommended.

We were with a good group, too. He allowed the proper amount of time at each stop. Tha lunch that was included with our package was great.

Reviewed by: ジュリアン

I was worried about the weather, but by the time we took off, it was partly sunny and cloudy. The first orientation was in fast-paced English, which made it difficult to keep up, but I managed to understand the main points. We progressed along the coastline through clouds and occasionally fog. I was surprised and excited to see lava peeking through cracks in the rocks. From the crater, I could see the lava glowing red, and there was steam as well. The pilot made several turns to give us a better view. I understood the English fairly well. I’m not sure if it would have been better if the weather had been nice, but it seemed that the tour was canceled in the morning due to bad weather, so it was lucky for those of us who had reservations. It was a four-seater helicopter, but it was nice that there were only three of us from the family. Another helicopter had two couples, and it seemed a bit cramped. However, before boarding, there was a feeling of being strangers, but after we landed, we exchanged firm handshakes, which felt like a connection among those who shared the same experience.

お天気が心配でしたが、飛び立つ頃には晴れと曇り。最初のオリエンテ―ションは、早口の英語で、ついていくのが難しかったですが、要領だけは何とかわかりました。曇りと、時々霧？の中を海岸線に沿って進みました。ところどころに岩の割れ目から見える、溶岩にびっくりと興奮。火口からは溶岩が赤く燃えているのが分かり蒸気もあり、、良く見えるようにと、何度もパイロットが旋回してくれました。英語もまあまあわかりました。天気がよかったら、もっと良かったのかはわかりませんが、午前中は、天候が悪くツアー自体がキャンセルだったようなので、予約しているものにとっては、ラッキーでした。四人乗りのヘリでしたが、家族三人だけだったのも良かったです。もう一台は二組のカップルが乗っていたのですが、狭かったようです。でも乗り込む前は、他人のような雰囲気だったのに、降りてきたら硬い握手をしていたので、同じ体験したもの同士のつながりのようなものも感じました。

Reviewed by: Dawn Weston

We had a total of 8 in our group, and did this tour on 5/9/17. The guides were very helpful and did a god job in making you feel comfortable on the lines especially for us first timers. The views were undescribable. Make sure to really just enjoy the ride and not fuss too much with your camera or phone because you will miss all the beautiful scenery. It can take away from the experience. You get to see a lot of banana trees and even try some right off the tree. It was by far one of the best things we did while visiting. A must do activity!
