All Reviews for Kilauea Volcano, Big Island

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。

The tour was amazing, scenic and very informative. Our tour guide, Ryan was very friendly and considerate and we enjoyed the tour a lot. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Drew was exceptional at telling story and being flexible with peoples preference. The lunch provided was good and the scenery was beautiful with highlights everywhere including Turtles, waterfalls, rainbows and Waipo Valley.

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。
でも、ﾜｲﾋﾟｵ渓谷に入って行ったときには圧巻。とても感激でした。
ﾊﾟｲﾛｯﾄの方もとても感じが良かったです。

ｸﾞﾙｰﾌﾟの他の方もおっしゃっていましたが、日本人もしくは日本語ﾊﾟｲﾛｯﾄ希望だったのに、English speakerの方でした。
希望に添えない場合には事前に連絡をすべきだと思います。
知っていれば他の会社にしました。
とてもいいﾌﾗｲﾄ、ｽﾀｯﾌだっただけに、少しｽﾞﾙさが見え残念でした。
その分、☆一つﾏｲﾅｽです。

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。

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)

Awana, our guide was absolutely wondetful. He was so courteous, professional and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I think we best part besides the scenery, was the Hawaii Botanical Garden. It wasn’t user friendly, due to some health conditions, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and could have spent a lot more time there. Awana got us back to the airport to catch our flight in record time, after a long day.

It was early in the morning, but it was fun. The flight was at 7 AM. The price is high, but it is satisfying. You can experience the magnificent scenery of the Big Island. Mr. Mochizuki's guidance is wonderful! You can regain a pure feeling.

朝早かったけど、楽しかったです。7時のフライトでした。値段が高いけど、満足感あります。ハワイ島の雄大な景色を体感できます。望月さんのガイドが素晴らしい！ピュアな気持ちが取り戻せます。

We had a Wonderful Tour Guide who gave an education about Volcanoes and the local communities in Hilo. Now that the Volcano has erupted and in the news, I can tell friends back home about my special day visiting the Volcano.

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。

Mr. Mochizuki is the best! 1) He created a group just for Japanese people.
Mr. Mochizuki is the best! 2) This was my 12th time on the Big Island, while others were visiting for the first time, but the explanations satisfied both groups.
Mr. Mochizuki is the best! 3) He showed us the waterfall deep in Waipi'o Valley, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
I want to ride in Mr. Mochizuki's helicopter next time!

望月さん最高１）日本人だけのグループにしてくれた。
望月さん最高２）私は、ハワイ島１２回目、他の方は初めてでしたが、両方が満足できる説明でした。
望月さん最高３）ワイピオ渓谷の奥の滝を見せてくれて十分満喫しました。
次回も望月さんのヘリコプターに乗りたい！

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。

A wonderful way to experience the diversity of the island. There were frequent stops with ample time to enjoy the site and/or walk the trails. Many foods to sample along the way and delicious lunch! Awana was an informed and entertaining guide who was flexible throughout the day to make sure we could get the best experience.

I was very satisfied, not realizing that the time spent on the helicopter was 2 hours (I thought it would be around 2 hours including orientation). In fact, I was picked up from the hotel at 11:20 and returned before 3:00.

We were able to see the northern and eastern parts of the Big Island (so many waterfalls!), flying over Hilo and all the way to the ocean entry in the southern part. I also got to see the currently erupting crater of Kilauea and the flowing lava in abundance.

ヘリに乗っている時間が2時間とは思わず（オリエンテーション含めて2時間くらいと思ってました）、大満足です。実際11時20分にホテルピックアップでホテルに帰ったのは3時前でした。
ハワイ島北部から東側（滝が多い！）、ヒロ上空を経由して南部のオーシャンエントリーまで、見ることができましたし、キラウエアの現在噴火している火口と現在流れている溶岩流も思う存分見ることができました。

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 kids were so comfortable with the vibrations that they even fell asleep... haha. It seems that the number of Japanese guests is still quite low, as we were among the few on that day, but there is a Japanese pilot on staff, so I recommend it even if you're not good at English. The volcano is impressive, but the Waipi'o Valley is simply breathtaking.

素晴らしい体験が出来ました。ヘリコプターは初めてだったので、最初正直心配だったのですが、安定した乗り物だと知りました。子供達は振動が心地よく寝てしまったくらいです…笑日本人客の割合はまだまだ少ないらしく、当日は私達位だったようですが、日本人パイロットの方も在籍されているので、英語が苦手でもお勧めです。火山もですが、とにかくワイピオ渓谷は圧巻です。

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。

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。

We participated as a family of three, including our 6-year-old son, starting from Hilo. We drove from our accommodation in Waikoloa to Hilo with a rental car. The roads were good, and we enjoyed the journey!

Since this was a rare opportunity, we booked a tour to see volcanic activity, and we were able to see the crater up close, even more than we had imagined.

The guidance was in English, but the pilot provided detailed explanations about the local area and its features. The piloting was impressive and gave us a sense of security.

There was a one-hour delay due to a mechanical issue, but it turned out to be a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.

6歳男児を含めた家族３人で、ヒロ発で参加しました。※宿泊先のワイコロアからヒロにレンタカーで移動しました。道もよく、道中も楽しめました♪

滅多にない機会なので、火山活動が見られるコースを予約しましたが、想像以上に間近で噴火口がみることができました。

英語での案内でしたが、操縦士の方が現地の方の様子など丁寧に説明して下さいました。また、その操縦も見事で、安心感のあるものでした。

機体故障で1時間の遅延となりましたが、とても良い体験となりました。ありがとうございました。

We only had one day on the big island and wanted to see as much as possible. This tour takes you all the way around with multiple, although brief stops and several locations. Could omit the coffee tasting and spend more time on the black beach or at the falls.

Our guide, Keith, was full of history, folk lore and traditional information which was a big bonus.
If you want history and a good whirlwind tour of the island, this tour is for you.
Of note, lunch was provided and this service has its own chef who prepares the meals. Very healthy sampling of the typical fare at area restaurants, however, when it’s served in lieu of a cold sandwich and a picturesque park, it suddenly becomes one of the best meals of the vacation.

When we reached the canyon I had been most looking forward to, I was moved by the guide's thoughtful gesture of lowering his voice to let us soak in the scenery quietly. Watching the pilot from behind the cockpit made me think how wonderful it is to be a pilot! It was a very rare experience to actually see the lava's gooey texture. I'm glad my mother, who was scared of helicopters, was able to ride comfortably. Above all, Toshi's love for the Big Island really came through. I want to work hard in Tokyo and return to the Big Island! Thank you very much for this experience.

一番見たかった渓谷に差し掛かった時に、ガイドの声を落として静かに景色に浸らせてくれる心配りに、景色と共に感動でした。操縦席を後ろから見ていてパイロットて素敵だなぁと思いましたw溶岩のドロドロさも目視出来てとても貴重な体験でした。ヘリコプターを怖がっていた母も安心して乗っていられたようで良かったです。何よりbig Island へのtoshiさんの愛がとてもよく伝わりました。又東京で頑張って働いてbig islandに帰りたいです！この度はありがとうございました。

This was perfect to see the whole island. We were very fortunate to see lava. However,
We feel by 8 hrs we were ready to get off the bus and feel that the first hour or so could have been cut out

Jim Carrey led our group on a wonderful adventure! He is a master story teller and an provided such detail in sharing the culture, sites and flavors of Hawaii.
The day was rainy but we were covered by umbrellas and deliciously warm coats that the tour provided. There were so many things to see and stories to be heard that the day was over way too quickly. Will most definitely do this tour again the next time we visit the Big Island and we will definitely ask for Jim Carrey to be our guide!

Our tour guide Grant was amazing and very knowledgeable! He made the experience so great! The tour was great you get to see a lot of the big island. I love waterfalls and the rainbow falls was breathtaking. The volcano view at night was so awesome I would totally do it again. Worth the money!

The day itself started with a local Kona coffee plantation visit that included how the coffee trees are grown, picked, sorted, and roasted. Next stop was a roadside fruit stand where we were introduced to some island fruits and veggies. There was a good drive to the furthest south bakery in the U.S. where our tour guide Grant filled the drive time giving us the layout of the island. From there we visited a black sands beach and looked out for sea turtles. After the beach, we headed to Volcano Park to see the volcano during day light hours and checkout the Dr Jagger museum. Then the dinner... food was good and we had a chance to talk to other members on the tour. This led to the sun setting and the final activity... the volcano at night. The glow of the cauldron is amazing in of itself, but Grant pulled out a telescope and we not only got a close up view of the spattering lava, he also was able to record it on our phones!
Grant was a phenomenal tour guide! He was personable, full of facts and information, and delivered them in a fun, witty way. From the moment of being picked up, Grant was pointing plants and notable sights to the left and the right the entire time we were in the tour van.

On Friday March 16th, 2018 my family and I attended the Deluxe Volcano Night Lava Viewing with Dinner at Kilauea Lodge & Stargazing Tour that also included the coffee trip to the Kona Joe Coffee Farm, Punaluu Bakery and the Black sand beach. To start, I have to say our guide Uncle Jim made the trip well worth the time and money we invested. He was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and most of all both engaging and entertaining. From the history, folklore and ancient stories to the general knowledge of Hawaiian culture there was rarely a moment where we were not enjoying the tour. We started out from our resort and Jim began to answer our questions and tell us stories of the landscape (lava, terraforming and the effects of adding green spaces to the resorts on the climate) and a Captain Cook story. As we moved on and picked up the other guests the stories continued as he pointed out various points of interest and beaches we may want to visit on our own. Some great aspect to the tour were the mythical stories of the gods and goddesses and how they actually mirror what it believed to be the realities of the Hawaiian Islands today. Each of the stops we made were better than promised, lunch and dinner were both great and Uncle Jim having a telescope for the night time volcano viewing was great. Some of the highlights from our perspective were walking down a lava tube, walking through the steam vents, picturesque picnic lunch and the gathering of stones to gift to the volcano later in the day with a chant led by Uncle Jim. And I can’t forget the smell of the Huli Huli chicken BBQ that he teased us with that I never did actually get back to try, maybe on our next visit. I would recommend this as a must do tour on your trip to the big island and ask for Uncle Jim, he will make the tour that much better.

I made a reservation a week before the participation date, and it was for my second choice of time. The 9 AM slot is quite popular, so we participated at 7 AM. However, departing during the dim light of dawn allowed us to be moved by the changing scenery of the Big Island of Hawaii!

If you're staying at the Waikoloa Resort and have rented a car, I think it's better to go directly rather than waiting for the hotel pickup. It saves time and is smoother.

Fortunately, our guide was Toshi, a Japanese staff member, who was very friendly and, despite the early hour, guided us with high energy. (According to another guide in Hawaii, this person's helicopter tour is the most luxurious Japanese-language tour on the Big Island...) He provided guidance in English for the American couple we rode with and in Japanese for us, showing great consideration, even offering cool air to me when I felt nauseous. When there are foreign participants, the main guidance will be in English, so having a basic understanding of English can make the tour more enjoyable.

Of course, the volcano is a must-see, but I highly recommend the canyon as well. It's difficult to access the canyon on ground tours, so seeing it from the air in this tour really changes your image of the Big Island.

I tend to get seasick, and I forgot about that when I joined the tour, which significantly affected my enjoyment due to helicopter motion sickness... The volcano and canyon involve several turns and significant shaking, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to it. They sell motion sickness medication at the reception, but since you might not know if it suits you, it's best to bring your own. They do provide etiquette bags and wet tissues inside the helicopter. There is a break at Hilo Airport, so you won't be on the helicopter for two hours straight.

I ended up feeling quite groggy from motion sickness, but even so, I was very satisfied with this tour!

コナ発で参加日の一週間前の予約、第2希望の時間帯でした。やはり9時からは人気で私達は7時からの参加でした。ですが、夜明けの薄暗い時間帯に出発することで時間によるハワイ島の景色の変化に感動させられました！
ワイコロアリゾートに宿泊していてレンタカーを借りている方はホテルのピックアップを待つより直接行ったほうがいいかなと思います。時間かからないのでスムーズです。
スタッフは運良く日本人スタッフのToshiさんで、非常に気さくで早朝にもかかわらずハイテンションでガイドしてしていただきました。（別のハワイのガイドさん曰くこの人のヘリコプターツアーがハワイ島で一番贅沢な日本語ツアーだとか…）一緒に乗ったアメリカ人夫婦には英語、私達には日本語でガイドしてくださり、酔ってしまった私にも冷風を当ててくれたりと気遣いがとてもよかったです。外国人参加者と同席になると当たり前ですか、英語がメインのガイドになりますので多少の英語が理解できるとより楽しいツアーになるかと思います。
火山はもちろんのことおすすめは渓谷です。渓谷は地上のツアーでは入ることが入ることが難しいので空から見られるこのツアーで、ハワイ島のイメージがかなり変わります。
私は船酔いが激しくそのことを忘れてツアーに参加してしまったためかなりヘリコプター酔いに楽しい時間が邪魔されてしまいました…火山と渓谷は旋回が何回も揺れも大きいので船酔いが激しい方は酔い止めを飲んで参加することをおすすめします。受付で酔い止めも販売されていますが体に合うかわからないので持参した酔い止めがおすすめです。一応エチケット袋とウエットティシュはヘリコプター内に常備されています。ヒロ空港で休憩がありますので2時間乗りっぱなしということではないです。
乗り物酔いでかなりグロッキーになってしまいましたが、そんな私でも今回のツアーはかなり満足できるものになりました！

This was my second time on the Big Island of Hawaii, and I finally got to ride in a helicopter. The pilot was Japanese and navigated kindly and carefully, which was very impressive. I also got to see waterfalls and landscapes that can only be viewed from the helicopter, and I was able to see three whales! I highly recommend it to everyone!

今回二回目のハワイ島でしたが、やっとヘリに乗ることが出来ました(^｡^)
パイロットも日本人の方で親切丁寧にナビしていただき大変感動しました(^｡^)
あとヘリからしか見れない滝や風景
そしてクジラとも三頭も見ることが出来ました！
皆様にもオススメですよ！

Hands down the best tour on the Big Island. Brett was our tour guide and he was fantastic. Informative, funny, friendly, professional, he went above and beyond to make the experience amazing. Seeing the volcano at night is something everyone must do, but having a tour makes it much more enjoyable. This tour included seeing rainbow falls, Big Island Candy Co, lunch, and several spots at the Volcano National Park and a very nice dinner. 100% worth it.

Our tour was AMAZING!! Our tour driver was Nathan or Nate. He was awsome!!
They pick you up at your hotel, which is super convenient! The tour group can fit up to 12 people. So it is nice and small. Our group was super fun and Nate was very informative and talked to us about everything and anything he could! The van is nice and clean and not to mention Eco friendly! It rained alittle, and they had raincoats for everyone just in case.They provide bento lunch for everyone. We actually had 2 vegans in our group and Nate was very caring and took them to a nearby grocery store, so they could pick up a few things to eat since they could not eat much from the bento. Nate not only took us to the places mentioned, but he also drove by a few other places he thought our group would like! He was AMAZING!! This tour was so much fun, the sights were beautiful and very informative!

Fortunately, the weather was favorable, and I was able to achieve my goal of visiting the Big Island of Hawaii. Additionally, I was pleased to have a Japanese pilot as I had hoped, who provided explanations at key points in Japanese. The magma at the Kilauea volcano's crater can only be seen by helicopter!

幸い天候にも恵まれてハワイ島へ行った目的が叶いました。
又、希望どうり日本人パイロットでしたので要所要所日本で説明いただき
良かったです。キラウエア火山噴火口のマグマはヘリでなければ見れません！
