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>

It's a breathtaking view, but... 絶景だけど

Reviewed by: mipo

I hoped to be a Japanese pilot, but I ended up participating in an English tour without any mention of that. The scenery was wonderful, and I was moved, but since I was seated next to the pilot (the computer assigns seats based on weight), I kept seeing the pilot yawn, which made me nervous. When I asked, "Are you sleepy?" he replied, "No!" so I took his word for it. The first hour was over Kilauea, and the second hour was over Waipi'o Valley. There was a stop at Hilo Airport for a break. Anyway, I'm glad we arrived safely.

日本語パイロットを希望したのですが、全くそれに触れられることもなく、英語のツアー参加になりました。
素晴らしい景色で、感動しましたが、パイロットの方の横の席になったせいで(体重でコンピューターが、席を決めます)、パイロットのあくびが何度も目に入り、緊張しました。
「Are you sleepy~」と聞いたら、「No!」と言われたので、それを信じて乗っていました。
前半1時間は、キラウエア、後半1時間は、ワイピオ渓谷です。途中、ヒロ空港に立ち寄り休憩があります。
とにかく、無事に着いてよかった。

You can purchase a DVD featuring the scenery from the helicopter you boarded, but the picture quality (color reproduction) was poor, and the recorded date was completely wrong, which was very frustrating. It's disappointing, especially since the actual scenery was beautiful.

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

Traditional Hawaiian Luau! 伝統的なハワイアンルアウ!

Reviewed by: やまちゃん&ゆみちゃん

This was our fourth trip to Hawaii as a couple, and it was our first time on the Big Island. I was really looking forward to seeing an authentic outdoor luau show for the first time as well. Overall, it was excellent.

I had checked reviews beforehand about the need to "line up before entering the venue," so after checking into our hotel (it was the night of our arrival, and we were staying at the King Kamehameha), we took care of the process right away. They gave us a paper with the reception time, but even though we arrived about 30 minutes early, there was quite a line! Most of the audience were Westerners, with only about 20% being Japanese. Normally, it seems that Japanese guests are seated together, which allows for taking photos and chatting, but we were seated at a table with only Westerners, with no Japanese guests at all...

We were seated at one of the end seats in the front row facing the stage, which was very calming. We could see the ocean and the Ahuena Heiau in the background, and we had a great view of the dancers' entrance scenes, which made us very satisfied.

I wanted to experience the traditional imu ceremony at least once, and it was good, but after experiencing it once, I think I'm okay with it... (The smell was quite strong since they steam the pig at high temperatures.)

The food was traditional and served buffet-style, so we could enjoy a variety of dishes. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, which was nice, but since our table was at the front, it was quite a trek to get to the drink station.

They also showcased dances from neighboring islands, which was great. As a fellow hula dancer, I was able to observe from various angles, and it was a good learning experience.

Unfortunately, it started to rain heavily during the show, and it ended quite a bit earlier than scheduled, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall, I was a bit anxious about not having any Japanese guests around, but we still had a great time, so it was very good.

夫婦でのハワイ旅行は、4度目にして、初めてのハワイ島でした。
また、屋外での、本格的なルアウショーを観るのも初めてでしたので、とても楽しみにしていました。
結果としては、◎でした。

「会場に入るまで並ぶ」というのを事前にクチコミでチェックしていたので、ホテルチェックイン後(到着日の夜だったのと、ちょうど宿泊先がキングカメハメハだったので)すぐに、手続きをしました。
受付時間を書いた紙をその場でくれたのですが、それでも、少し早めの30分前位に会場へ行ったにも関わらず、結構並んでいました!!
観覧客はほとんどが欧米人で、日本人は2割位だったかと思います。
また、通常は、日本人は日本人同士でテーブルセッティングしてくださるみたいですが(写真を撮り合ったり、お話したりできるから)、私達夫婦は、日本人がひとりもいない、欧米人のみのテーブルへ通されました・・・

ステージ側の前の方の、一番端の席だったため、とても落ち着き、バックには海とアフエナヘイアウ、ダンサーたちの登場シーンもよく見ることができ、とても満足でした。

伝統的なイムセレモニーは、一度は経験したかったので、よかったですが、一度経験すれば、もういいかな。。。
(豚さんを高温で蒸し焼きするので、匂いがかなりきつかったのです)

お食事は伝統的なもので、ビュッフェ式でしたので、いろいろ楽しめました。
ドリンクも飲み放題で、こちらもよかったのですが、テーブルが前の方だったので、その分、ドリンクの所へたどり着くまでが、とても遠かったです。

ハワイだけでなく、近隣の島々の踊りも織り交ぜながら、披露してくださいます。
同じフラダンサーとしては、いろいろな角度から、観させていただき、よい勉強になりました。

途中で雨がたくさん降ってきてしまい、時間よりもかなり早く終わってしまい、それが少し残念でした。

全体的には、日本人が周りにいなくて不安はありましたが(^^ゞ
それでも楽しめたので、とてもよかったです。

Reviewed by: Karnuth4

The pilot was very knowledgeable of the area and specifics around the volcanic activities as of late. All 4 of us fully enjoyed the flight! We got some great close-ups of the volcano and the remnants of the village that once was there. We didn't see as many waterfalls as I thought we would but it didn't take away from the trip. I would recomend this to any friend or family member.

We had a great time on the waterfall tour!! Chris G. was an amazing guide. The waterfalls were not as impressive as I imagined, just OK. The wealth of information that was shared by Chris was great! He knew about the culture and plants like he was born there! We had also learned that he was a guide on the Zipline we were going to do in a couple of days. We didn't have him as a guide on the zipline but we did get to see him again. We want to come back soon and go on the kyak ditch tour! Thanks Chris for a wonderfull day!!!

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

snorkeling experience シュノーケリング体験

Reviewed by: miya

Hello, this is Miya.
On June 30th, I went on a snorkeling cruise to Kealakekua Bay on the Big Island (with breakfast and lunch included).
Five years ago, I went on an evening plan, so this was my second experience as I wanted to see the beautiful sea in the morning.
On the Fair Wind, I enjoyed a tour of the Big Island where Japanese was not spoken.
The weather was cloudy, but it was great because I could see well underwater without getting sunburned.
I particularly enjoyed the colorful tropical fish that gather in the shallow waters, and it was a great experience for families who are not strong swimmers, from a 4-year-old child to a 65-year-old lady.
Especially, the free rental of bodyboards to peek underwater was very popular.
The slide extending from the second floor feels high at first, but elementary school students can enjoy it without any problems.
I hesitated a bit at the diving board, but next time I want to dive in headfirst.
For meals, breakfast included bread and fruit, and for lunch, we had BBQ hamburgers cooked on the boat.
The hamburgers eaten in the beautiful sea were incredibly delicious.

こんにちは。miyaです。
6月30日に、ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾へのシュノーケルクルーズ(朝食・昼食付き) に行ってきました。
5年前に行った時は、夕方のプランだったので、午前中の綺麗な海を見たく、2度目の体験です。
フェアウィンド号では、日本語が通じないというハワイ島のツアーを満喫出来ました。
天気は曇りでしたが、日焼けをしない中でも、水中は良く見えて良かったです。
特に浅瀬に集まる熱帯特有の色とりどりの魚を楽しむ事もでき、泳ぎが得意ではないファミリーや、4歳の子どもから、65歳のおばさんまで満喫出来ました。
特に、水中を覗けるボディーボードを無料でレンタル出来て好評でした。
2階席からのびている滑り台は、最初高さを感じますが、小学生ならば問題なく楽しめます。
飛び込み台は、少し躊躇してしまいますが、次回は頭から綺麗に飛び込みたいです。
食事は、朝食は、パンとフルーツ、昼食は、船の上で焼いたBBQは、ハンバーガーとして食べました。
綺麗な海で食べるハンバーガーは大変おいしかったです。

My husband and I loved it. Never flew in a helicopter before. Exciting! Safety conscious pilot-Roger was great! Music in headphones enhanced the experience. Views of volcano were wonderful.

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>

The view from the sky is... 大空から見た景色は…

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It was amazing! I was also grateful that the pilot happened to be Japanese. While flying in the sky, he provided a thorough guide. I ended up sharing the ride with a Canadian family, and we enjoyed the English guide while sharing our excitement together.
One issue I encountered was when I arrived at the hotel and needed to make a call, but the person on the other end only spoke English. Since I hardly understand English, I ended up asking for help from the Japanese desk at the hotel, which resolved the situation.
The price is high, but it is well worth the experience. I recommend this tour for both couples and families.

最高でした!たまたま操縦士の方が日本人だったことも,ありがたかったです。上空を飛んでいるときには丁寧なガイドをしてくださいました。カナダ人の家族と同乗することになりましたが,英語のガイドも楽しみつつ,みんなで感動を分かち合いました。
困った点としては,現地でホテルに着いたときに連絡をするのですが,その電話先の方が英語しかわからなかったことです。私も英語はほとんどわからないので,結局ホテルにある日本語デスクの方に協力をお願いして事なきを得ました。
値段は高いですが,この感動には十分見合った金額です。カップルでもファミリーでもおすすめのツアーです。

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

A wonderful perspective

Reviewed by: Tammy R

Marco was our pilot and he was fabulous. My 13 year old was a bit nervous with the doors off and he made her feel right at ease.
The view you get and the knowledge passed down by Marco was great! You cannot truly appreciate the volcano and what it can do unless you see it from above. The big picture and unique view from above is priceless.
We saw lava the day we went and that was a bonus, but even if you cannot see the the lava, it is still a wonderful way to view the landscape and truly see the devastation the lava flow can do.
We have done another helicopter tour in the past on Kauai and it is the best way to see the islands. You can go places a car cannot and that is worth it!
Thank you Marco and the rest of the staff at Paradise Helicopter...you were wonderful and we had a great trip!

The tour was OK. There was a lot of bus riding just picking folks up and dropping them off. I think were the only folks staying in Hilo. There were a couple of stops at commercial sites that could be left off the tour. The guide was good and knew a lot about the area. This tour could be streamlined and only take half a day.

Unfortunately, 残念ながら

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in early December 2011. Unfortunately, I had joined a tour to see the lava in 2009, but due to the wind direction of the gas, I couldn't see the ocean entry. I thought about getting a revenge tour, but I was informed that there wasn't much volcanic activity and the ocean entry couldn't be seen, so I decided to join the helicopter tour to see it from above. This time, there was a bit of light rain, and I could only see the moving lava with the naked eye to a limited extent. I was able to see trees being consumed by the lava and flames rising, as well as lava flowing down the cliffs like a thin waterfall. I plan to get revenge during a time of more active activity. However, it was enjoyable to see the town of Kalapana, which had been swallowed by lava in the past, with houses starting to be built again, and the beautifully planted macadamia nut farms. It seems that the seating is determined by weight at check-in, and luckily, I was seated next to the pilot. On the way back to the airport, everyone enjoyed chatting, but I regretted not studying English conversation more. There were participants from various countries.

2011.12月初旬に参加しました。
あいにく2009に溶岩を見に行くツアーに参加しましたが、溶岩のオーシャンエンターがガスの風向きで見れず、リベンジをと思いましたが、火山活動があまりなくオーシャンエンターは見れないとのことで、ヘリで上から見てみたいと参加しました。今回も小雨混じりで動いている溶岩は肉眼で少し確認できた程度でした。生えている木が溶岩に呑まれて炎が上がっている様子や、細い滝のようにがけを流れている溶岩が見れました。 また活発な活動の際にリベンジです。 しかし上空から昔溶岩に飲み込まれた町カラパナにまた家がぽつぽつ建ちだしている様子や、壮大にきれいに植えられているマカダミアナッツ農場を見れたりと楽しかったです。受付時の体重で席は決められるようで、ラッキーなことにパイロットの並び席でした。空港に戻る際にはみんなで会話を楽しむかんじでしたが、もっと英会話べんきょうしとくべきだったといつもの後悔でした。いろんな国の方が参加されていました。

I was able to ride it on my second attempt. 再チャレンジで乗れました

Reviewed by: 小春ばぁちゃん

On the second day in Hawaii, I had a reservation, but it was canceled due to bad weather in Hilo (tears). It was disappointing since Waikoloa had nice weather. Due to my schedule, the only available day was the checkout day, so I rescheduled it as that was my last chance. On the final day, while waiting nervously, I was told it was okay to go today.

For those with flexible schedules, I recommend making reservations as early as possible, and if the tour is canceled due to weather, it's good to have a backup date.

Now, the actual flight was amazing. Unfortunately, the volcano was in a state of calm, so I couldn't see the dynamic lava flows or ocean entry, but I could see lava from a hole in the ground! I also saw black streaks that made me think lava was flowing underground, which was both exciting and a bit scary. It was great to see the charm of Hawaii Island's green lava landscape from the sky. However, since it was an English tour, I didn't understand most of the explanations, but even without them, seeing the scenery in front of me was more than enough to enjoy.

I participated with my 4-year-old and 1-year-old, and the kids were satisfied too!

ハワイ島2日目に予約していましたが、
ヒロの天候が悪いとのことで、催行中止に(涙)
ワイコロアが良いお天気な分残念でした。

最終日、どきどきしながら待っていると、今日はOKと言ってくれました。
日程に余裕がある人は、できるだけ日程の前の方に予約をしれて、
もし天候で催行されなくても振り替え予備日を設けておくと良いとおもいます。

さて、実際のフライトは、すばらしかったです。
残念ながら火山は小康状態だったので溶岩の流出やオーシャンエントリーというダイナミックな状態はみれませんでしたが
大地にぽっかり開いた穴から溶岩がみえました!
おそらく地中を流れているなと思わせる黒い筋もみえて
嬉しさと怖さ?とでぞくぞくとしました。
その他島の緑溶岩の大地というハワイ島の魅力を空からみれたのもよかったです。
ただ、英語ツアーだったので、説明の大部分がわからなかったのですが
それでも、説明がなくても百聞は一見にしかず、で
やはり目の前に広がる景色で充分楽しめました。

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

A luau show that left me completely satisfied, even in the rain! 雨でも大満足のルアウショー!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Although it was the main highlight of my trip that I was looking forward to, unfortunately, it rained heavily.

Usually, there is a performance where King Kamehameha arrives by boat, followed by a dinner show under the starry sky, but it was suddenly changed to an indoor show.

We had to wait about an hour in the hotel lobby for the setup, but during that time, the MC kept us entertained with jokes and ukulele performances. Chatting with other foreign tourists also became a nice memory.

We moved to a banquet-like area inside the hotel for the show to begin. The performances of singing and dancing, along with audience participation during the cha-cha dance time, were wonderfully entertaining, and I was very satisfied.

The food featured traditional Hawaiian dishes as the main course. It was quite filling, and while tastes may vary, I enjoyed it very much.

We also had plenty of fun with participatory activities like hula lessons, but the hotel hallway felt a bit cramped. I wished we could have done it outside under the sky on the grass. However, it was such a fulfilling show program that I definitely want to participate again on a day with better weather!

I clearly remember the words, "For those visiting Hawaii for the first time, welcome; for those returning, you are friends (aikane); and for those coming for the third time or more, you are all family (ohana)," which warmed my heart.

旅のメインと楽しみにしていたのに生憎の大雨。


通常はキングカメハメハがボートに乗ってやってくるパフォーマンスと星空の下でのディナーショーなのですが、急きょ室内でのショーに変更になりました。


セッティングのためホテルロビーにて1時間ほど待たされたのですが、その間も客を飽きさせないようMCの方が冗談を飛ばしたりウクレレ演奏があったり。ほかの外国人観光客たちとの立ち話もいい思い出となりました。


ホテル内の宴会場のような場所に移動して、ショーの開始。
歌や踊りのパフォーマンス、観客を巻き込んでのチークダンスタイムなど素敵な演出が盛りだくさんで大満足でした。


料理はハワイの伝統食がメイン。ボリューム満点で好みは分かれるかとも思いますが、私は美味しく頂きました。


フラレッスンなどの参加型アクティビティも十分楽しめたのですが、やはりホテルの廊下では少し狭く、空の下、芝生の上でやりたかったなあという印象。しかし次こそは天候に恵まれた日にまたぜひ参加したい!と思える充実したショープログラムでした。



「一度目のHawaiiのひとは初めまして、
 二度目のひとは友達(aikane)、
三度目以上の人はみんな家族(ohana)」
という言葉に心がほっこりしたのをよく覚えています♪

Dear Mr. Anonymous,

Thank you for attending the luau show. Your comments almost brought tears to my eyes. While the rain is a blessing for us Polynesians, it often prevents us from showcasing the beauty of the ocean, the arrival of the king, and the imu show, which may leave our guests unsatisfied.

We would love for you to become part of our Ohana.

With heartfelt gratitude, love, and Aloha.

We booked this cruise in particular because it was wheelchair accessible. We were traveling with a friend who is in a wheelchair and we wanted to be able to get her out on the ocean. The crew was fantastic! The ramp was easy and we sat in the front of the boat.
On this cruise to Ke'alakekua, not only was there a wonderful bartender, but also a fabulous array of appetizers and a yummy dinner. AND there was a historian, named Boyd, who was able to tell us the history of the areas we were cruising by. Kudos to Boyd!

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

Kealakekua Bay Awesome Snorkel

Reviewed by: Apinklady

Although my favorite island is Kauai, my husband and I always take a side trip over to the big island, just because I have to snorkel at Kealakekua Bay! The first time we did it we took the Zodiac boat which was lots of fun, fast, wet, and bouncy. With that said the last three times we have chosen the Fair Wind! This large catamaran provides a wonderful relaxing ride over to the bay and they cook you a wonderful barbecue lunch in addition to a continental breakfast. There is lots of time to snorkel which is totally amazing! The coral and fish are beautiful. My favorite area is around the coral on the monument side. You will see lots of different fish and be sure and go back and snorkel some more after lunch! The catamaran does have slides and high platforms to jump off of, but the best part is snorkeling. They do offer snuba too, if you enjoy that. I highly recommend this tour. It is the best! Don't forget your underwater camera. Enjoy the attached pics.

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

I am very satisfied. 大満足です

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in an afternoon cruise. I drove a rental car to the meeting point for the tour. The weather was nice, and the boat didn't rock much, but while I was fiddling with my camera and looking for my belongings, I started to feel a bit queasy. Since it takes time to get to Kealakekua Bay, I think it's better to take it slow and enjoy the view outside for a while after boarding.

The sea was very beautiful, and I could see all the way to the bottom. There were also many small fish. The boat was equipped not only with snorkeling sets but also with floaties and some kind of tool that allows you to look into the water without putting your face in it.

Only the consent form for the first tour was available in Japanese, but everything on the boat was in English. Since they also discuss safety precautions, I wouldn't recommend it for someone who doesn't understand English at all.

On the way back, we encountered dolphins, and they swam alongside the boat for a while, so we were able to enjoy some dolphin watching. It was a very satisfying tour.

アフタヌーンクルーズに参加しました。ツアーの集合地点まではレンタカーで。天気は良く船も揺れなかったのですが、カメラをいじったり荷物を探したりしていたら少し酔いそうになりました。ケアラケクア湾へは時間がかかるので乗ってしばらくはゆっくり外を眺めていた方が良いと思います。
海はとても綺麗で底の方まで見渡せました。小さな魚もたくさんいます。船にはシュノーケリングセットだけでなく浮き輪や、顔を水につけずに水を覗き込める道具(?)等も準備されていました。
最初のツアーへの参加同意書のみ日本語の紙も用意されていましたが、船の中では全て英語です。注意事項等も話されるのでまったく英語がわからない人にはおすすめできないと思います。
帰りにはイルカに遭遇し、しばらく船と一緒に泳いでくれたのでイルカウォッチングまで楽しめました。とても満足のいくツアーでした。

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

Worth the money

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I did this helicopter ride with my husband and 12 yr old son. It was fantastic! We got lucky and had a sunny day, and the views of the island were amazing. We saw some lava flows, we saw waterfalls, and the pilot shared lots of information. We saw a house that had recently been destroyed by lava flow, and all that was left was a bit of roof. We had never done a helicopter ride, and I was a bit nervous about it. We rode with the doors on. It was very smooth, and the views made me forget to be nervous. I felt very safe actually. Our pilot (Aaron) was completely competent and friendly and knowledgeable. I got to sit in the front, next to the pilot. My husband and son sat behind us and they had a great time. Its expensive, but its worth doing at least once. You'll get a view of the island that you can't see any other way.

Beautiful. 綺麗

I participated in the afternoon tour. I received a reservation confirmation email that mentioned to call for confirmation the day before, but it might be a bit challenging for those who can't speak English.

I drove to the location with a rental car. The parking lot was far from the office and hard to find, so having a map in advance would be helpful.

The boat was fairly large, and I didn't feel seasick at all. We encountered dolphins along the way. There were light snacks and drinks available on board.

The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was able to see many fish, coral reefs, and sea urchins. There was also a slide, which was fun.

I was surprised to see an elderly woman, who looked to be over 80 years old and bent over, entering the water! Of course, she had someone accompanying her.

Since it wasn't summer, it was cold when we got out of the water.

アフタヌーンツアーに参加。
前日に確認の電話を!と予約確認メールであり電話しましたが、英語なのでしゃべれない人はちょっと大変かも。
レンタカーで現地へ。駐車場が事務所から離れていて分かりにくかったので、あらかじめ地図などあると助かります。
船はまぁまぁ大きく全く酔いませんでした。途中イルカに遭遇。
船内では軽いスナックと飲み物あり。
海はすごく綺麗で沢山の魚やサンゴ礁ウニなど観ることができました。滑り台もあり楽しめました。
また、もう80才以上ではないかと思われる腰の曲がったおばあさんが海に入っていたのにはビックリです!!もちろん1人付き添っていましたが。
夏ではないので、海から上がった時は寒かったです。

Thank you for participating this time.
The reconfirmation call will be in English, so if you have any concerns about the language, I recommend consulting with the hotel concierge.

I apologize for the difficulty in finding the way from the parking lot to the office. I have requested Alan1.net to provide a detailed map.

I am very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the different creatures and atmosphere compared to the seas in Japan. I believe that our tours are a strength that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Please join us again when you visit the Big Island!

この度はご参加いただきありがとうございました。
リコンファメーションのお電話は英語となりますので、もし言語にご不安がある場合はホテルのコンシェルジュなどにもご相談いただくと良いかと思います。

駐車場から事務所への行き方がわかりにくかったとのことで申し訳ございません。詳細な地図を記載するようAlan1.netに依頼しました。

日本の海とは違った生き物や雰囲気をお楽しみいただけたようで大変嬉しく思っております。老若男女お楽しみいただけるのが弊社ツアーの強みと思っています。またハワイ島にお越しの際はご参加ください!

It was phenominal. Incredible views and good commentary from the pilot. I would definitely recommend a wind breaker if going with the doors off.
