Family-Friendly Kohala & Waikoloa Whale Watching and Sailing Tour - Ocean Sports [Dec - Mar]

Great boating adventure. No whales :/

Reviewed by: Greg D

While I understand that no one can truly guarantee seeing whales naturally, it's still a bit disappointing not to have seen any and the only reason Oceans Sports didn't get the full 5 stars. We appreciated the opportunity to try again another day but our demanding schedule didn't allow for it.

That being said, the crew was incredible fun and friendly and we very much enjoyed our "boating trip". The drinks were good and we got some incredible recommendations from the crew for lunch and other day-time activities. I would highly recommend this trip to others even with the off-chance of not seeing any whales.

I had a great time! 楽しめました!

Reviewed by: いっきゅう

I heard that the season had just started and the whales weren't very active, but we saw four splashes! One of them was quite close to us.
The front of the boat had a net, and the kids were lying down there, looking really comfortable! They were so relaxed that they fell into a deep sleep...

Since the guide spoke only in English, my kids and I didn't understand anything, but we still had a great time regardless!

まだシーズン始まったばかりで、クジラはあまり活発に動いてないと聞いていたのですが、4回スプラッシュ!その内1回はかなり近くで会うことができました。
船の先端が網になっていて、子供たちはそこに寝転がり、めちゃめちゃ気持ち良さそうでした!気持ちよすぎて爆睡してましたが…

ガイドは全て英語の為、私や子供には内容は全然分かりませんでしたが、分からなくてもとにかく楽しめました!

Hilo Garden, Maze & Waterfalls Self-Guided Tour - Botanical World Adventures

Beautiful and wild property

Reviewed by: Christina

I absolutely recommend the self-guided walking tour if you're in the area. The property is huge- seriously you can explore for hours! There was a cute little farmers market happening with live music as well. Absolutely make a trip up to the Kamaee falls at the top of the property- the views were breathtaking. The hedge maze was fun and fairly challenging- it took us a good 30 minutes to get out. The gardens are a bit rugged at some parts which adds to their natural beauty- just be careful when traversing the river trails, they're narrow and slippery but worth the view. Also watch out for spider webs! Overall, really beautiful area of the island and worth spending some time in!

  • The smaller falls on the river trail

  • Just a real neat plant

  • The view from the Kamaee Falls

Whale watching ホエールウオッチング

Reviewed by: あかさたな

The meeting place was changed the day before the tour. It was quite far from Kailua, which was a hassle. Also, the whales didn't show up; they just floated in the sea. Since it was only in English, I think it would be quite boring if you didn't understand. The good point was that they gave us a voucher to participate for free next time. But I probably won't go again.

ツアーの前日に、集合場所が変更になりました。
かなり、カイルアからは遠くて、参りました。
また、ホエールは現れずただ海に浮かんでいただけでした。
英語しか無い日取りだったので、分からないとかなりつまらないと思います。
良い点は次回無料で参加できるvoucherをくれたこと。
でも、もう行かないかな。

A surprisingly affordable tour when considering the emotional value! Part 1 感動単価で考える結構安いツアー! その1

Reviewed by: Mako

An emotional experience awaits that matches the price.

This time, I decided to stay a bit longer on the Big Island of Hawaii. My goal is to relax as much as possible, but just staying cooped up in a condominium would be boring. I searched for a special tour and finally decided on a helicopter tour! The thought of seeing the Big Island from the sky made my heart race, but there were several challenges to consider.
1. The price is on the higher side
2. Is flying in a helicopter dangerous?
3. Wouldn't a car be sufficient instead of a helicopter?
4. The tour is dependent on the weather
5. Can I ride with a Japanese-speaking pilot (since I can't speak English)?
6. Which tour pattern should I choose?
7. Is the Kilauea eruption safe? And so on. I managed to overcome these challenges and had a wonderful time.

Regarding point 1: The charm of the Big Island lies in its diverse nature. To truly feel that the Earth is alive and continuously evolving, there's no substitute for a helicopter! With a leap of faith, I made the reservation (tears). When I actually flew, it exceeded my expectations. Yes, it is indeed more expensive compared to other tours. However, when considering the "emotional value" rather than the hourly rate, it feels affordable! That's my experience. You can't make expensive purchases on the Big Island, nor do you need to. Therefore, I recommend incorporating this into your travel budget from the start. Of course, this goes without saying for those who are wealthy. Please do experience it.

Regarding point 2: There is no such thing as zero risk in anything, but I believe the probability of a helicopter accident is significantly lower compared to the risks of driving a rental car in unfamiliar territory. In reality, the helicopter was stylish, had a wide view, and provided a smooth, refreshing flight. The noise disappears when you wear headphones, and everyone, including the pilot, can converse. This also made for a fun time, and I ended up making friends with the couple I flew with. The decision to operate the flight is made based on the weather conditions of the flight route for that day, and in fact, flights after ours were canceled. Naturally, dangerous flights are never conducted.

To be continued.

価格に見合った感動が待っている (分けて報告します)

今回はハワイ島だけに少し長めに滞在することにしました。できるだけノンビリ過ごすのが目的ですが、と言ってもただコンドミニアムに閉じこもっているのも芸がない。何かとっておきのツアーはないか、と探しに探して決めたのがヘリコプター遊覧!これで空からビッグアイランドを一望できる、と心は踊りますが、いくつかの難問がありました。
①料金が高め ②ヘリコプターは危険ではないか ③何もヘリでなくとも車で十分ではないか ④実施が天候に左右される ⑤日本語パイロットのヘリに乗れるか(英語がダメなので) ⑥ツアーのパターンはどれを選べば良いのか ⑦そもそもキラウエアの噴火は大丈夫か 、などなど。これらを何とかクリアして素晴らしい時間を手にした報告です。

①について:ハワイ島の魅力はなんと言っても多彩な自然です。地球は生きていて今も進化し続けていることを実感するにはヘリコプターしかない!と、清水の舞台から飛び降りる気持ちで予約しました(涙) 実際に飛んでみるとそれはもう期待以上でした。他のツアーと比較すると確かに高いです。しかし時間単価ではなくて、「感動単価」で考えると安い!というのが体験しての実感です。ハワイ島では高価な買い物などできませんし、する必要もありません。ですから、最初から旅行費用に組み入れて準備することをお勧めします。もちろんお金持ちの方には言わずもがなです。ぜひ体験して下さい。
②について:何事も危険ゼロは無いですが、ヘリ事故の確率は、レンタカーで慣れない運転にチャレンジするのに比べたら比較にならないくらい低いと思います。実際、機体もかっこよくて、視界も広く、揺れもなく、とても爽快なフライトを楽しめました。騒音はヘッドホンを着けると消えますし、パイロットを含め乗員全員で会話ができます。これも楽しい時間となり、同乗したご夫妻とお友達になってしまいました。運行の可否は、フライト時刻毎にその日の飛行ルートの気象状況を見て決められ、実際に、私たちの次の時間以降のフライトは中止になりました。当たり前ですが危険なフライトは決してしません。

Reviewed by: ガーニーニ

It was absolutely amazing.
The pilot was handsome!
I was able to learn about the magnificence of Kilauea Volcano and the volcanic island of Hawaii.
Also, seeing the waterfalls in the Waikoloa area from the sea was incredible!
We actually landed right under the waterfall, and experiencing its grandeur and the healing it brings was the best. My wife, who accompanied me, was the most moved!
Once we got home, she kept saying she wants to go again!
Thank you very much!

何しろ最高でした。
パイロットはイケメン!
キラウエア火山の凄さや、火山の島『ハワイ島』を知る事が出来ました。
また、海から見るワイコロア地域の滝軍団!
実際に滝の下に着陸していただき下から見る滝の凄さや、癒しを感じる事が出来、最高でした。同伴した、妻が一番感動!
帰宅したら、又行きたいの連続です!

Excellent Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: Mark

Our family attended the dinner cruise on Thanksgiving and we were not disappointed. The food and scenery were both excellent, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer questions. The music was also very good, and there was even some dancing during the return trip. Would highly recommend this trip during your stay on the Big Island.

Enjoy the dynamic nature that cannot be seen from the land. 陸からでは見られないダイナミックな自然を満喫

Reviewed by: TM0399

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see the lava and ocean entry from the sky, but unfortunately, I couldn't see them. Still, I was able to witness the crater and the areas where lava spread after the eruption, feeling the power of nature.

The tour takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes to leisurely circle the island, allowing you to fully enjoy the shape of the island, its terrain, the greenery, and the blue sea. Among the highlights, the Kohala Coast, Waipi'o Valley, and Waimauna Valley were breathtaking and truly moving. I regretted not adding the landing option at the waterfall, as it would have been amazing to land in that valley. Next time I participate, I want to try landing as well.

Here are some tips for those who will be joining the tour soon:
1. There is only one Japanese pilot, so it's better to assume that you will have a foreign pilot even if you request one. (I also made a request and inquired beforehand, but all three helicopters that flew at the same time that day had foreign pilots.)
2. Passengers can ask the pilot questions during the flight, but if you don't speak English, you might feel stressed as you won't be able to ask about things you're curious about or don't understand in the explanations. It’s a good idea to be able to express your requests in English.
3. There is a note advising to wear black clothing for better photos, but I recommend wearing long sleeves and long pants. Skin color on your arms and legs can reflect on the window, making it difficult to take nice pictures.
4. You can purchase a USB data of the video from your helicopter for about $42 (credit card accepted). It includes the music that was playing in the helicopter, which changes according to the scenery, making it very effective. I highly recommend it as it allows you to keep beautiful footage of what you saw.

溶岩やオーシャンエントリーを空から見たいと思いこのツアーを申し込みましたが、残念ながら見ることはできませんでした。それでも、噴火後の火口や溶岩が広がったエリアを目の当たりにし、自然の力を感じることができました。
また、島内を1時間40分ほどかけゆっくりと一周するので、島の形や地形、緑の色、海の青をじっくり満喫することができます。
中でも後半のコハラ海岸やワイピオ渓谷、ワイマヌ渓谷は圧巻で、感動ものでした。あの渓谷の谷に降り立てるのであれば、滝への着陸オプションをつけるべきだったと後悔しました。次回参加する際は、着陸も試みたいと思います。
これから参加される方のためにいくつか情報をお伝えしておきます。
1.日本人パイロットは1名しかいないため、リクエストしても外国人パイロットになることを想定しておいた方がよいです。(私もリクエストし、事前に問い合わせもしていましたが、当日同時に飛んだ3台全て外国人パイロットでした)
2.ヘリの中では乗客がパイロットに質問できますが、英語ができないと、気になったことや解説でわからないことなどを聞けないため、ストレスを感じるかもしれません。見たいもののリクエストなどは英語で言えるようにしておいた方が良いと思います。
3.綺麗に写真を撮るために黒い服を着ていくよう注意書きがありますが、長そで長ズボンにすることをお勧めします。腕や足の肌色が窓に映ってしまい綺麗に撮れません。
4.自身の乗ったヘリの中の様子や見た景色の動画USBデータを$42程度で購入ができます(クレカ使用可)。ヘリ内でかかっていた音楽(見えている景色に合わせて音楽も変えられていて非常に効果的です)と共に自身が見た綺麗な映像が残せるので非常にお薦めです。

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー  レジェンズ・オブ・ハワイ(ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジ)<日・火・金催行/ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題>

You can enjoy it for a long time. 長い時間楽しめる

Reviewed by: さおり

On the day of check-in at the hotel, I watched a show. I had a standard seat, but since I lined up right after the reception started, there were only about 15 people ahead of me, so I was guided to a spot near the front of the standard seating, and I could see the show well. However, I think the back of the standard seating is still a sufficient distance to see everything.

The meal was in buffet style, with options like meat dishes and poke. Alcohol was also available. The show lasted about two hours and was performed intermittently. After a long flight, I felt it was a bit too long for me, but the climax with the fire show was stunning and woke me up.

For those who find it troublesome and stressful to arrange meals on the first day of arrival, I think it would be a good idea to book this plan where you can eat to your heart's content while watching the show.

ホテルチェックイン当日にショーを観ました。
スタンダード席でしたが、受付開始時間直後に並んだところ15人ほどしか並んでいなかったので、スタンダード席の前の方に案内してもらえ、ショーがよく見えました。
ただ、スタンダード席後ろの方でも充分見える距離だと思います。
食事はビュッフェ形式で、肉料理やポケなどが食べられます。
アルコールも飲めます。
ショーは約2時間に渡って断続的に行われ、長時間フライト後でとても疲れていた私にとっては少し長すぎかなと思いましたが、クライマックスの火のショーは圧巻だったので目が覚めました。

到着初日に食事の手配をするのが面倒だし不安だなという方は、ショーを見ながらお腹いっぱい食べられるこのプランを予約しておくのもありだと思います。

A tour full of attractions. 魅力がいっぱいのツアー

Reviewed by: ほまれ

I was really glad to have Mr. Mochizuki as my guide. Initially, my goal was to see Kilauea from above, but the views from the mountainside in the latter half were even more amazing than I had imagined. Entering the valley and looking down at the waterfall flowing into the sea from directly above is a sight you can only see from a helicopter. At first, I wondered why it was cheaper from Hilo, but after inquiring, I was convinced by the response that the experience was longer and richer in content, so I went ahead and booked it. In the end, I never felt that the price was too high. If you're hesitating, I think you can feel assured about that. As Mr. Mochizuki mentioned, it was a wonderful experience that I would recommend everyone to try at least once.

望月さんにガイドしてもらえたのが本当に良かったです。
当初はキラウェアを上から見たいと思ったのが目的でしたが、後半の山側が想像以上に素晴らしかったです。
谷の中に入って行ったり、海に流れ落ちる滝を真上から見下ろすのはヘリからでしか見ることのない景色ですね。
はじめはなんでヒロからだと安いのになーと思い、問い合わせをしたところ、内容的にも時間も長く、濃いものになってるとの回答で納得して申し込みました。結果、お値段以上で高いと思うことは無かったです。迷っているならそこは安心して良いと思います。望月さんもおっしゃっていましたが、一度は体験していただきたい素晴らしい体験となりました。

I had hoped to do a lava walk, but since it was closed off, I decided to book a helicopter tour. From my wallet's perspective, I felt like I was taking a leap off a stage at Kiyomizu Temple, but when I actually went, it wasn't expensive at all. In fact, this experience is priceless. Fortunately, the weather was great, and I could see the lava well, but what moved me even more than the lava was the Kohala Falls. Seeing multiple waterfalls with a drop of about 900 meters made me tear up at the beauty of the Earth. I thought I would like to bring my family next time. I highly recommend everyone to experience this at least once. I was so moved that I forgot to take pictures of Kohala.

溶岩ウオークを希望していたけど、立ち入り禁止になったので、思い切ってヘリコプターを予約。私のお財布からすると、清水の舞台から飛び降りるようなつもりで申し込んだのですが、実際にいってみると、ぜんぜんお高いことなんてなかった。むしろこの感動はプライスレスです。たまたま天気もよく溶岩もよくみれましたが、一番期待していた溶岩以上に感動したのがコハラの滝。落差900メートル級の滝が何本も流れている姿には地球の美しさをみて涙がでてきました。次は家族をつれてきたいと思いました。ぜひ皆さんも一度体験されることをおすすめします。感動しすぎてコハラの写真をとるのを忘れてしまった。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾 シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

It's just right. 過不足ないです

Reviewed by: Tsuka

Since it was a "budget trip," I participated in the afternoon plan and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The weather was nice, and I had fun sailing on the yacht. We even encountered a pod of dolphins in Kealakekua Bay. There was also plenty of time for snorkeling. On the way back, we had a bit of rain, but thanks to that, we were able to see a beautiful rainbow.

The staff only spoke English, but they were very friendly and went around offering drinks and cookies. I think it’s a sufficient tour unless you’re looking for meals or other extras.

「貧乏旅行」だったのでアフタヌーン・プランに参加しましたが、堪能しました。

天気が良かったこともありますが、ヨットでのセーリングを楽しみ、ケアラケクア湾ではイルカの群れにも遭遇。シュノーケリングの時間も十分にありました。帰りは一雨ありましたが、そのおかげで綺麗な虹まで見ることができました。

スタッフは英語のみでしたが、非常にフレンドリーで、飲み物やクッキーを配ってまわっていました。食事やその他のプラス・アルファを求めるのでなければ、十分なツアーだと思います。

A paradise of fish while snorkeling at a leisurely pace. じっくりシュノーケリングでお魚パラダイス

Reviewed by: すもこ

First of all, this tour starts with a meeting point, so it was an adventure for us from the beginning. We left Hilton Waikoloa a little over an hour before the meeting time and arrived safely after about 50 minutes, but the parking lot in front of Fair Wind was already full. We were directed to a parking area deep in the woods across the way (which was just right in front). It was very difficult to find... However, my mother had checked other people's blogs, so if you're worried, you might want to look there.

We took a large boat to Kealakekua Bay. It was a one-hour boat ride, but it wasn't too bumpy, and we were able to have breakfast, so it went by quickly. There is a second floor, but since meals are served on the first floor, I recommend staying on the first floor.

Once we arrived at the bay, we could snorkel freely. There were no Japanese staff, but they made sure to provide fins and floaties. The floaties, which looked like sumo wrestling mawashi, were quite amusing, but they allowed us to snorkel for a long time, making it very comfortable.

I don't think there were any explanations in English about the fish or where to find them, so you can just immerse yourself in snorkeling. Some people were jumping into the sea from the slide, while others finished snorkeling early to have lunch on the boat or enjoy the scenery; everyone was very relaxed.

On the way back, I was hoping to see dolphins, but I didn't find any. However, when I heard a loud noise and looked towards the back of the boat, there was a man struggling with a fishing line that had a reaction. Everyone cheered, and when a large barracuda came out, the atmosphere on the boat was electric.

This tour is recommended for those who want to enjoy their meals, snorkeling, and the scenery at a leisurely pace.

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。

Reviewed by: YUKIKO

We participated in the tour starting at 2:00 PM. The morning tour is about $50 more expensive and includes breakfast and lunch, and if you want transportation included, it’s an additional $20. Since we went by rental car, it cost us about $100 each. I’ve been on lunch-inclusive tours a few times, but I don’t have a great impression of meals prepared on the boat! I think the morning tours attract more customers due to the wave height, but the snorkeling spots are calm, so it’s reassuring. This tour definitely requires English proficiency; if you're not confident, having a Japanese guide is a safer option. Everything on the boat is in English, including explanations and safety instructions, so you need to pay attention to avoid danger! We didn’t see any dolphins, but there were plenty of fish!

午後便で、14:00時からのツアーに参加、午前中のツアーは朝食とランチが付いて50ドル程高くなり、送迎付きだと 更に20ドル程高くなります、私達は、レンタカーで行ったので、一人100ドル程、ランチ付きのツアーは何回か行きましたが、所詮 舟の中で作る食事、あまり良いイメージがありませんので!午前にお客が偏るのは、やはり 波に高さだと思いますが、シュノーケルをするスポットは、波が無いので安心できます、このツアーは英語力は絶対必要で、自信の無い方は、日本語ガイド付きが安心です、船内は全て英語、説明 注意などなど、ちゃんと聞かないと、危険なので!イルカはみれませんでしたが、魚はたくさんいましたよ〜

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。

The stability and comfort of the ship are outstanding. 船の安定感・快適性は抜群です。

Reviewed by: りーな

We participated in a snorkeling tour with our 5-year-old child. We often sign up for snorkeling tours when traveling, but this was our first time on a large boat, as we usually take speedboats.

Since the meeting point was local, we needed to park our rental car at the tour company's parking lot, but we were a bit confused about the location, so be careful with that. (It takes just under 50 minutes from Waikoloa.)

In this tour, we were the only Japanese participants, and the rest were Westerners, but they spoke in quite clear English, so we could get the gist of things from the atmosphere. Right after departure, there was a breakfast buffet, and soft drinks were available for free if you asked at the bar counter; our child enjoyed drinking juice. The waves were calm, so there was no spilling of drinks, and the stability was definitely different.

The snorkeling spot was quite deep (about 10 meters?), but the water was very clear, allowing us to see the bottom. While we weren't surrounded by a large number of tropical fish like at the Great Barrier Reef, we did encounter some colorful fish, which was enjoyable. The boat also had a slide and a diving board, but we didn't challenge ourselves with those... (The Westerners were diving in a lot, though!)

For lunch, we had handmade hamburgers. We could choose our own patties, buns, and vegetables to assemble our burgers. True to American style, the patties were very good and delicious, and drinks were always available, making for a comfortable and relaxing experience.

If you have small children, many snorkeling tours on the Big Island have age restrictions, often requiring participants to be 12 years or older, but this one was fine. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins, but it was a very enjoyable memory!

5歳の子供を連れてシュノーケルツアーに参加。よく旅行先ではシュノーケルツアーを申し込んでますが、今までスピードボートばかりで、今回のような大型船は初めてでした。
現地集合のため、レンタカーを催行会社の駐車場に停める必要があるのですが場所がよくわからず戸惑ってしまいましたので、かなり注意です。(ワイコロアからだと50分弱かかります)

このツアーで日本人は私たちのみで残りは欧米人しかいませんでしたが、かなりクリアな英語で話してくれるので雰囲気で内容は察せそうです。出航後すぐに朝食のビュッフェがあり、ソフトドリンクはバーカウンターの方に頼めばフリーで出してくれますし、子供はジュースを好んで飲んでいました。波も穏やかだったせいかドリンクが零れるような揺れもなく、安定感はやはり違いますね。

シュノーケルスポットは水深は深い(10m弱くらいかな?)ですがかなり海の透明度が高く、底が見えます。グレートバリアリーフのような大量の熱帯魚に囲まれることはありませんが、カラフルな魚には割と出会えるので楽しめるかと。
船にはスライダーや飛び込み台もありますが、さすがにこちらは挑戦せず…(欧米人の方はめっちゃ飛び込んでました笑)
昼食は今はハンドメイドのハンバーガーです。パティやバンズ、野菜など、自分で取って組み合わせて食べるスタイルです。さすがはアメリカ、パティの肉感がとても良く美味しく頂けましたし、常時飲み物は頂けるので、快適に寛いで過ごすことが出来ました。


小さいお子さん連れだとハワイ島のシュノーケルツアーは12歳から等の年齢制限があるものも多く参加出来ないこともありますが、こちらは大丈夫です。
私たちはイルカには残念ながら会えませんでしたが、とても楽しい思い出となりました!

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

No door, as expected!! Incredible power!!! さすがのドアなし!!大迫力!!!

Reviewed by: wabo

I stayed at a hotel in Waikoloa and booked a morning flight. It takes about two hours by car to Hilo, and it was a mistake to stop by the Tex Drive-In along the way, as the road to Hilo was completely blocked due to construction!!! There was a high possibility I wouldn't make it for the 9:30 check-in, and when I called the contact number, I struggled a lot because they only spoke English... Fortunately, the third staff member I spoke to could speak a little Japanese, and I barely made it with a 30-minute delay. At the airport, there was also a staff member who assisted me in Japanese. After the briefing, just when I was ready to go, the flight for that day was canceled due to bad weather... Oh no... I was wondering what to do when another staff member who spoke Japanese came and helped me book a flight for the next day. I was really grateful!!!

The next day, I had an afternoon flight. After departing from Waikoloa, the weather started to deteriorate again, and I thought it might be canceled today too... but surprisingly, the flight was okay! It was a small helicopter with four people, including the pilot. I boarded with a bit of nervousness, and in no time, we were up in the air!!! The wind was stronger than I imagined, and I was desperately trying to hold onto my headset as it felt like it would fly away. The strong wind was also hitting my face, which was quite painful.

Although I was exhausted, when we reached the crater, I was overwhelmed by the sheer power of it. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any lava, but we circled slowly around the crater several times, capturing some impressive images.

So, I recommend this experience, but here are some tips for those who will be going:
- If you're coming from Waikoloa, I strongly recommend crossing via Daniel K. Inouye Hwy without any detours.
- If you're bringing a smartphone or video camera, a strap to hang around your neck is essential. The wind is too strong, and it could get blown away.
- It gets quite cold up there, so bring a hoodie or fleece.
- Flip-flops will be too cold, so please wear sneakers or something similar.
- If you have long hair, it's better to tie it up to avoid it hitting your face. I was in the back seat, and the wind coming from the back to the front was so strong that it hit my face and eyes, making it really painful to the point of tears. At one point, I had to put on my hoodie and hold my head down.

ワイコロアのホテルに宿泊し、午前中のフライトを予約しました。ヒロまで車でだいたい2時間として、途中テックドライブインに寄り道したのが間違いで、ヒロに入る道が道路工事でぜんぜん進まない!!!9時30分のチェックインには間に合わない可能性大ということで、連絡先に電話するも英語のみの対応で大苦戦。。。3人目に日本語が少し話せるスタッフが対応してくれて、なんとか30分の遅刻でギリギリセーフ。空港でも日本語で対応してくれたスタッフが待っていてくました。講習も終わって、いよいよと思っていたら、天候不良のためその日のフライトは中止・・・トホホ・・・どうしようかと思っていたらまたしても日本語対応のスタッフが来てくれて、翌日のフライトを予約してくれました。本当に助かりました!!!
そして、翌日は午後のフライト。ワイコロアを出発してから、天候がまたも崩れ始め、今日もダメかも・・・と思っていのですが、なんとフライトOK!
パイロットも含め4人乗りのちっちゃなヘリでした。やや緊張しつつ乗り込むとあっと言う間に上空へ!!!
想像以上に風が強くて、ヘットセッドが風で飛んでしまいそうで必死に抑えていました。それと強風で髪の毛が顔にガンガン当たって痛いのなんの。。
ヘロヘロになりながらでしたが、火口の上空に来た時は、あまりの迫力に圧倒されました。残念ながら溶岩は見えなかったのですが、火口の周りを何度もゆっくりと旋回して、大迫力の画像が撮れました。
ということで、お勧めなのですが、これから行かれる方にアドバイス
・ワイコロアから行かれる方は、寄り道せずに、Daniel k.lnouye Hwyで横断していくことを強くお勧めします。
・スマホやビデオを持って行かれるかたは、首から下げるストラップは必須。
 風が強すぎて持って行かれれます。
・上空は相当寒いです。パーカーやフリース持って行きましょう。
・ビーサンでは寒いのでスニーカーなどでお願いします。
・髪が長い方は縛った方が良いです。とにかく顔に当たらないように。
私は後ろの席だったのですが、とにかく、後ろから前に来る風がすごくて、顔や目に当たって本当に涙が出るほど痛かったです。途中でパーカー被って頭を抑えていたくらいですから。

Reviewed by: セブンラブ

The cocktails were delicious, and the lady who made them was cute, so I ended up drinking a bit too much. The food was also tasty, and I enjoyed the dessert as well! The meat they served was tender, and the poke was delicious. The red bread was a bit on the sweet side, but it was fluffy. The pudding and tapioca desserts might be a bit too sweet for those who aren't fond of sweet flavors, but the papaya was delicious.

I watched the hula show feeling a bit tipsy, and the fire dance was incredibly powerful; it was the best show I've seen so far! I'm very satisfied.

カクテルが美味しくて、作ってくれたお姉さんも可愛くて、ついつい飲み過ぎました。
食事も美味しくて、デザートまで堪能しました!取り分けてくれるお肉は柔らかいし、ポキも美味しかったです。赤いパンはちょっと甘めでしたが、フワフワ。デザートのプリンやタピオカは甘いのが苦手な人にはキツいかもしれませんが、パパイヤは美味しかった。
ほろ酔い気分で観たフラショーですが、ファイアーダンスは大迫力で、今までに観たショーの中では最高でした!

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧 水~土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能<フライト100分/英語パイロット/ワイコロアヘリポート>

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)

I was the only Japanese person, but the staff took photos for me, and other guests took photos as well, which was fun.

I was often asked how I found this tour.

There were slides, and they had floaties and other equipment ready, which made me feel very secure. It seems you can also drink alcohol if you pay extra.
For breakfast, there were bread, muffins, fruits, and scrambled eggs? For lunch, there were hamburgers and pasta.

The taste was okay.

You can have a great time even alone.

日本人はわたしだけでしたが、スタッフの人が写真を撮ってくれたり、お客さんが写真を撮ってくれたりして楽しかった。

I should have checked the distance between my accommodation and the King Kamehameha Hotel in advance, but paying 200 for a round-trip taxi is just too far! Once I arrived, it was impossible to cancel. I had to participate, but both the show and the food were average.

The only good part was going early to explore the town of Kona and enjoying a Segway tour.

I have taken this course 3 to 4 times before, but this was my first experience in a doorless helicopter.

On top of that, sitting next to the pilot in a seat with an amazing view where I could see the ground beneath my feet was thrilling.

Honestly, I felt very scared during takeoff in the doorless helicopter, but after 2 to 3 minutes, it turned into a pleasurable experience. I could feel the wind, smell the sulfur, and even sense the humidity in the clouds.

However, wearing a polo shirt and shorts made it quite cold.

It was a very thrilling experience.

おまけにパイロットの隣で、足下から地上が見えるという眺望抜群の好座席でワクワクしました。

ただ、ポロシャツと短パンでは寒かったです。

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。

A helicopter without doors is incredibly thrilling. ドアなしヘリコプターは、超スリル満点

Reviewed by: fabio

Unfortunately, a few days ago the eruption ended, and I couldn't see the red magma. It's nature, so there's nothing that can be done about it.

Still, seeing the black lava and the great nature of Hawaii from a doorless helicopter was truly moving. I couldn't understand what the English-speaking pilot was saying, but I enjoyed it completely.

As advice, the temperature on the day was 31 degrees, but it was 18 degrees up in the air. I think it's safer to prepare warm clothing.

残念ながら?数日前に噴火が終わってしまい、赤いマグマを見る事が出来ませんでした。自然が相手なのでしょうがないです。
それでも、ドアなしヘリコプターから見る、黒い溶岩やハワイの大自然は感動モノでした。
英語パイロットなので何言ってるかわかりませんでしたが、全然楽しめます。

アドバイスとして、当日の気温は31度でしたが上空は18度でした。
防寒着は用意していったほうが無難だと思います。
