Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Discover Hilo Tour - Volcanic Landscapes & Waterfalls

Couldn't have time it better!

Reviewed by: Pamela

My niece and I where visiting the Big Island during a very active period for Fissure 8 and our experience of an 'so up close you could feel it' was amazing!

The tour and the crew where fantastic and we really experienced what Mother Nature was throwing at the Big Island during that time. Was a once in a lifetime experience and one I highly recommend.

Reviewed by: ハイホー、ハイホー

The scenery was wonderful.
However, the explanations were in English, so I couldn't understand anything at all.
If I had understood the explanations, I might have been even more impressed.
I applied because I saw the Blue Hawaiian Helicopters on Japanese television, but since there are many Japanese people, I hope they could provide support in Japanese.

景色が素晴らしいかったです。
でも英語での説明でしたので全くわかりませんでした。
説明がわかればもっと感動したかもしれません。

Waipi'o Valley, waterfall landing ワイピオ渓谷、滝壺着陸

Reviewed by: わこばあー

I was a bit nervous on my first helicopter ride, but with the guidance of the Japanese pilot, I was able to relax and enjoy the journey through the skies. The time spent flying from the ocean to Waipi'o Valley felt like a transition from reality to a divine world, and I found myself in tears from the beauty of nature. Landing at the base of the waterfall, I was overwhelmed with emotion once again, feeling a deep gratitude for being alive. I have become an even bigger fan of the Big Island of Hawaii. I want to tell my friends that they should experience this at least once in their lifetime! Of course, my children and grandchildren will join me next time.

初ヘリコプター搭乗でいくらか緊張していましたが、日本語のパイロットの方のガイドでとてもリラックスして空の旅をたのしめました。
海上からワイピオ渓谷へ進んでいく時間は現実から神の世界への移動、自然に涙が出てきました。
興奮のまま滝壺に着陸、またまた涙があふれてきて大袈裟ですが生きてる!事への感謝の気持ちで一杯になりました。
ますますハワイ島のファンになりました。
友人にも生きている間に一度はこの経験を味って!と伝えたいとおもっています。

Let's take a look at the Big Island of Hawaii from above! ハワイ島を上空から見てみよう!

Reviewed by: カレンのママさん

Taking a helicopter ride around half of the Big Island offers a rare experience where you can witness "the Earth being alive." Driving this route by car takes over eight hours. The last time I visited, I drove around in a rental car, but it took a long time, and I ended up driving in complete darkness. I decided that next time, I would definitely take a helicopter.

With a helicopter, you can see the Haleakalā crater from above in just two hours, and you can land in valleys that are inaccessible by car, allowing you to enjoy waterfalls all to yourself.

Pilot TOSHI, who is Japanese, provides thorough explanations, so there's no need to worry about the language barrier. I highly recommend experiencing your first helicopter flight on the Big Island!

ヘリに乗ってハワイ島を半周すると、「地球が生きていること」を目の当たりにすることができる貴重な経験ができます。
このコースをクルマでドライブすると8時間以上かかります。前回来た時にレンタカーで回りましたが、時間がかかり、真っ暗な中を運転するはめになり、次回は絶対、ヘリでと、決めていました。
ヘリであれば、たった2時間で、しかもクルマでは見られないハレアカラの火口を上空から見ることができ、クルマではいけない渓谷に着陸して、滝を独り占めすることもできます。
日本人パイロットのTOSHIさんが、丁寧に解説してくれるので、言葉の心配はありません。
ヘリ飛行の初体験をぜひハワイ島で!おススメします。

Private Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Tour from Hilo

So great!

Reviewed by: the Bowens

Lee was totally accommodating. I so much wanted to see the results of the 2018 volcano eruption, as I had followed it on the internet daily (was a Geology minor in college). After the perfunctory Hilo sights, we were off to the east coast. Everything was amazing (including the newly formed beach, Pohike) and Lee never ran out of explanations and stories. Topped off the day with a fabulous late lunch in Paloha (an old "hippie " town) at Kehole's (again, at our request). Lee knew locals wherever we went and information was always shared.
Specifically, we were with Wild Orchid Tours, and Veltra was the agent.
Next time we'll go to Volcanoes Nat'l Park (and hopefully the museum will be reopened) - we were just too interested in the new stuff (and unfortunately, devastation).

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 an expensive tour, but it's worth every penny. 高額なツアーだが、それだけの価値がある

Reviewed by: 英語が不得手な夫婦

I had heard that I could request a Japanese pilot, but from pick-up to boarding, everything was in English, which was quite confusing for us as a couple who are not proficient in English. Fortunately, the pilot was a veteran Japanese pilot, and there were Japanese announcements at key points, plus he spoke English slowly, which was helpful. After takeoff, I was continuously moved to the point of forgetting the passage of time. Although we couldn't see the red lava flowing due to the activity of Kilauea Volcano calming down, I was amazed by the pilot's skill in landing effortlessly in a narrow area that was hardly different from the rotor's rotation range. It was a valuable experience that cannot be fully expressed just through personal accounts and images. While it's not a price that can be easily afforded, if you have the financial means, this is definitely a tour you should try.

日本人パイロットをリクエスト出来るとのことだったが、ピックアップも含めて、搭乗までは全て英語で「英語が不得手な夫婦」としては、大いに戸惑いました。幸い、パイロットは日本人ベテランパイロットで、要所要所は日本語の案内があり、また、英語もゆっくり話してくれて助かりました。離陸後は、とにかく感動の連続で時の経つのを忘れるほどでした。キラウエア火山の活動が沈静化して、赤い溶岩が流れるのを見ることは出来ませんでしたが、それ以上に、ヘリのローター回転範囲と大して変わらない狭い場所にピンポイントで楽々と着陸するパイロットの腕に驚嘆しました。体験談とその画像だけでは語り尽くせない貴重な体験でした。気軽に体験出来る料金ではありませんが、経済的余裕があれば、是非トライしてみるべきツアーです。

I was worried that the helicopter might be canceled due to an unexpected eruption until the day of the flight. I'm glad we were able to fly safely. The view from the powerful helicopter and the sight of the eruption were breathtaking. However, I wished I could have seen the volcano up close a bit more. Well, I suppose safety reasons prevent that.

It was so lucky to sit next to the pilot! The best view and nice weather. Kind and well-experienced pilot. It was expensive but worth trying.

Just the recording of the flight for US$40 was too high. And the conflict with the USB being ready and the bus schedule was too tight.

NB: Check my pick-up time on the voucher!!! It was actually the flight schedule. I was about to miss the biggest event of the trip!!!

That was your Veltra mistake.

First helicopter experience はじめてのヘリコプター体験

Reviewed by: みにゃ

My first helicopter experience was enjoyable. I requested a Japanese pilot, but when my reservation was confirmed, I was informed that it would be an English-speaking pilot, so I was glad I could participate with that understanding in advance. Although I'm not a native speaker, I was able to understand, and it turned out to be a very good experience! Unfortunately, the Kilauea volcano was calm, so it wasn't what I had hoped for, but I was able to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Big Island of Hawaii, and it was worth the price!

Deluxe Volcanoes National Park Experience, Black Sand Beach & Restaurant Dinner

WOW!

Reviewed by: Irwin Ohana (Family)

Jim Carey is an outstanding and knowledgeable guide who wove Hawaiian folklore, geology and local current events into an experience that we (ages 12 to 72) all enjoyed. We had a nice small group (just seven of us) which allowed Jim to go a little off script and pack a lot of experiences into our day. The transportation van was comfortable but be ready for a long drive because Jim really covers the Big Island. From the lava flows in Kona to Hilo to Kilauea, there was a lot of ground covered. The gourmet dinner of organic and locally grown steaks, fish and produce was exceptional. Don't even get me started on the dessert. We are still talking about it. The stargazing was a spectacular finish to the day.
Thank you Jim for an unforgettable experience.

Twilight Volcano Tour with Stargazing, Black Sand Beach & Coffee Farm

Amazing Value!

Reviewed by: Atlanta Couple

Let me start off by saying I had a pretty low expectation for the meals when I saw they were included. The food was really great—chef made lunch and delicious beef ribs at dinner. I’m still dreaming about them. That alone provides so much value for the price.

Now, onto the tour—Keith was an amazing tour guide! He started off by learning and continually speaking to each of us individually by name. He had the greatest stories at AND between each tour stop. We really enjoyed the tour from start to finish and almost forgot how long of a day it was! And for the stargazing, we lucked out with a beautiful clear sky and Keith was knowledgeable about not only the stars we were seeing, but so much beyond that!

It was a stable ride compared to a Cessna, providing a sense of security and comfort, making for a wonderful experience. The moment I realized the pilot was Toshi Mochizuki, my sense of reassurance and anticipation doubled.

Although the lava flow had stopped, we were able to get much closer to the crater, and the cliffs viewed from the sea were truly volcanic islands. I was greatly impressed along with the Canadian family who joined me.

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。

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。

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Best Tour of the Island

Reviewed by: Phil P

Great way to spend a day and learn about the Big Island. If you are lucky enough to have Keith Mowibski as your guide the tour gets better by 10X. He is knowledgeable about the history of the island like no ones business. Can’t say enough good things about this tour.

Deluxe Volcanoes National Park Experience, Black Sand Beach & Restaurant Dinner

Great day, seen and learned lots

Reviewed by: Anne Veghel

We had a great time and seen so many sights! Our guide Brett had great knowledge and could answer all questions.
Because we had extra time we got to see the rainbow falls and got to go into a lava cave. Sadly the stargazing didn't happen due to clouds and rain.
Snacks, water and food were all plenty and good. Especially dinner at kilauea lodge was excellent, be it a bit rushed.
After the recent eruptions there was no lava activity, but we can only imagine how much more beautiful the sites would be with active lava flows.

Twilight Volcano Tour with Stargazing, Black Sand Beach & Coffee Farm

大島一日旅遊: Big Island Twilight Volcano Tour & Stargazing with Dinner (from Kona) / Twilight Volcano & Stargazing Tour

Reviewed by: Fang Xing

我在計畫大島旅行前,從網站搜尋到其他人的分享,其中有許多人推薦從www.hawaiiactivies.com訂購行程,在大島的第一天抬頭看見星星已經吸引了我,我決定找一個可以看星星的行程。我們不打算租車,因此以有接送的行程為優先考量,11/08 我們試著在網上訂 Big island Twilight Volcano Tour & Stargazing with Dinner 的行程,這個行程包含接送,午晚餐!另外的優惠就是在行程後發文分享,可以有一位的50%退款反回! 當我們試著在網上訂這個行程,因為沒有找到小孩的訂購選項,而直接打電話由Ms. Nunia 協助,她在跟技術 部門溝通也確定多恩的年紀可以參加後,她打電話回覆我們,協助我們訂購2大一小(3Y5M) 的全日遊,謝謝她的幫助!第一次與這個公司交涉留下很好的印象!
11/10 我們的司機Chris 準時來接我們,在去接第二組客人時,他為我們講解沿路火山與海灘的景色,他是在這出生有少部分夏威夷原住民的血統,能遇到當地長大的居民做為我們的導遊,真是幸運!他從開始到行程結束始終掛著笑容為我們服務!
第一站是Kona 咖啡園: 在這裡我們繞了一圈咖啡園,可惜的是因為是周末,只有兩個烘培機器運轉著,途中還看見了Lava Tube,就是熔岩管,它是熔岩洞的一種,從這開始了對火山的認識。在這裡有各式免費咖啡的試飲,我試了Kona coffee medium roast 與有夏威夷豆口味所混合夏威夷咖啡,各有不同的風味!Chris 為我們在桌上準備了午餐,是亞洲式午餐有日本紫薯,魚片,雞肉與白飯,配上Kona的各式果汁! 是亞洲人喜歡的口味!
第二站到了黑沙灘看海龜:Chris 雖然不能保證是否看到海龜,一下車往海灘的方向,但我們非常期待,拉著兒子的小手往沙灘前進,踩在黑沙灘上是很特別的經驗,黑沙灘的沙是冷卻的岩漿經過風力與海水沖刷而成的,沙的顆粒很小摸起來很舒服,不過一會兒就看見一隻烏龜在沙灘上休息著,大家太过興奮靠近時,被在沙灘上的救生員喊ˇ著說”請給烏龜足夠的空間"! 在這地方有標示牌請大家給他們至少30ft 的空間,不可餵食也不可觸摸!在這片黑沙灘上是開著荷花的池塘,和諧地與海邊的景色共存著,非常美麗的景色.雖然只看見一隻海龜,還是非常值得.
第三站: 一連串的火山探險之旅,首先來到火山國家公園,Chris 分享著他在前幾個夜間所拍的照片,火紅的岩漿從洞口發出,非常驚人的景色,目前能見到的是火山停止噴發後不斷地發出的煙,這時候已經來到熱帶雨林區,天氣涼爽許多,再加上小雨落下,景色非常的特別,從海邊到山上,溫度驟降,但是貼心的Chris為大家準備了外套與雨衣,不需要擔心沒有帶外套,唯一的建議是要穿包腳的鞋子!
再來去看了crater lookout, steam vests,sea Arch 還有Chains of Craters Road.分別是火山口,蒸氣口,海邊拱門,最後在僅存的舊道路上欣賞熔岩經過的歷史痕跡! 如此接近因火山活動而產生變化的自然奇景,是來到大島時一定要參加的行程! 當我們站在舊有的道路上轉身往後一看在高處則是近期因火山活動留下的黑色的痕跡,在這Chris 找出各式不一樣型態的殘留物,仔細講解著,真的是更認識了大島!
第四站:在最後一站觀星之前,我們到了Lava Cafe享用晚餐,當魚補獲的魚排餐,牛仔骨分別配上土豆尼與白飯,兒子吃的是炒粉,免費的飲料,大家都吃得很飽! 估計是全車的亞洲客人而特別預備的餐點,接著到了Mauna Kea State Park 觀星,
一下車就已經能清楚看見滿天的星斗,透過Chris 架設的高倍望遠鏡看到了火星,邱比特星跟月球.同行有人看見了流星!
我真心推薦大家參加這個行程,不論你是一個人,兩人或親子行,都能享受從行程中帶來的樂趣與各樣的驚喜!

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>

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。
