ヘリコプター遊覧 コハラ山脈&ハマクアコースト <フライト50分/英語パイロット/ワイコロア空港発>by ブルーハワイアンヘリコプターズ

I recommend the Copilot seat. Copilot席はおすすめ

Reviewed by: テリーヌ

This was my second helicopter tour, but it was my first time sitting next to the pilot. The view was wide and I highly recommend it. You can see down very well, so this tour offered great views of the waterfalls and canyons. I think 50 minutes is just the right length.

The pilot was very kind and cheerful. He seemed to be a former military pilot, so his skills were definitely impressive. All the staff were also very friendly. There are many wonderful views on the Big Island that you can't see from a car or land, so I think taking a helicopter tour to see them from the sky is a great experience. I've heard that during periods of volcanic eruptions, reservations fill up quickly and it's hard to get a spot. Definitely give it a try!

ヘリコプターツアーは二度目でしたが、パイロット横の席は初めてでした。視界が広くおすすめです。下の方までよく見えるので、このツアーは滝や渓谷がよく見えました。50分は適当な長さだと思います。
パイロットの方はとても優しくて陽気でした。元軍のパイロットだったらしく、腕は間違いないです。スタッフの皆さんもとても親切でした。ハワイ島は車や陸からでは見られない素晴らしい景色が沢山あるのでヘリコプターツアーで空から見るのは良い経験だと思います。火山が噴火してる期間は予約がいっぱいで取れないとか。是非試して見て下さい。

The tour guide was amazing. ツアーガイドさん最高

Reviewed by: MAHALO-K.N

We got on the van and descended into Waipi'o Valley. At the entrance of the steep slope, the guide offered a prayer before we entered the valley.

There are breathtaking views that are not visible from the observation deck.

I was moved by the guide's love for their hometown.

I think it would be better to do a little research beforehand.

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>

I felt the vastness of the Big Island of Hawaii! ハワイ島の広さを実感しました!

Reviewed by: Kurt

While flying over the vast skies of the Big Island, the lack of changing scenery was a bit disappointing, but I enjoyed the views of Kilauea Volcano and the coastline. I had hoped to see lava around Kilauea Volcano, but unfortunately, that didn't happen.

ハワイ島の広大な上空をフライトしている時は、風景の変化も乏しく、少し期待外れのところもありましたが、キラウエア火山、海岸線等では、楽しめました。キラウエア火山周辺では、溶岩等が見えることも期待していましたが、残念でした。

A fantastic tour with stunning views and the chance to interact with horses, plus a bit of thrill—it's the best! 素晴らしい景色と馬に触れ合えて、ちょっとスリルもあるツアー、最高❗️

Reviewed by: ii-chanz

The ups and downs of the hills, unique to four-wheel drive, were thrilling and enjoyable, and the view of Waipi'o Valley and the ocean from the slopes was absolutely wonderful. The horses also came over to the car and let us pet them. Experiencing crossing the river and seeing the taro planting were great highlights of the tour.

四輪駆動ならではの坂道のアップダウンが、スリルに満ちて面白ろく坂道の途中から見えるワイピオ渓谷と海が最高に素敵でした。馬も車に寄ってきて触らせてくれました。川を渡る経験も、タロ芋を植えるのもみせてもらって、大正解のツアーでした。

You can see various waterfalls! 色んな滝が見れる!

Reviewed by: HONU

I was guided to Waipi'o Valley, Akaka Falls, Rainbow Falls, and the botanical garden. Since the guide is American, I recommend this for those who understand English.

Entering the falls can feel a bit dangerous due to the many rocks, but having shoes suitable for the ocean and a floatation device can provide peace of mind. I recommend this for those who want to see the waterfalls and nature of the Big Island.

ワイピオ渓谷やアカカ滝、レインボー滝、植物園など案内していただきました。アメリカ人のガイドさんなので、英語がわかる方におすすめします。
滝に入るのは、少し岩が多く危ない感じがしますが、海で履ける靴や浮き輪があると安心です。ハワイ島の滝や自然が見たい方におすすめします。

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

It's a great way the experience the island in one day

Reviewed by: Sand under foot

The Grand Circle Island tour is a great way to have a compact adventure all in one day. It was full of beautiful scenic views of cliffsides, beaches, cooled lava formations, waterfalls, volanic crater, and so much more. You experience a hike through a rainforest with some inclines at times, volcanic steam vents that feel like you're in a sauna, turtle viewing at Black Sand beach, cliffsides overlooking crashing waves, a coffee harvesting & processing walkthrough, a lava tube cave, and much more. Some hikes can be a bit challenging if you have mobility problems but our tour guide Brent is so accommodating and on the HNP Kilauea hike, you can ride along with him to the top of the viewing area if you're not able to do the short walk. Additionally, Brent is not just a tour guide, he will transport you to another time. He wove an amazing storytelling of Native Hawaiin history into the scenic mountains, beaches, historical battleground sites, trees, buildings, fantastical stories, and rich cultural backdrop. I walked away with a deep appreciation for how the Hawaiian island and culture came to be. This was an amazing way to experience the island!

Tour of waterfalls in the northern part of Hawaii Island. ハワイ島北部の滝を巡るツアー

Reviewed by: RygerSeven

We departed the hotel after 8 AM and enjoyed the view of Waipi'o Valley from the Waipi'o Valley Lookout. After that, we visited Akaka Falls and had lunch at the Botanical Garden, staying for about an hour before heading to a waterfall located on the grounds of a certain hotel. We parked the minivan on the hotel property and changed in the separate changing rooms for men and women, which I found to be quite clean. We borrowed life jackets and made our way down to the base of the waterfall to swim. It felt cold at first, but once I got used to it, it was pleasant. We were advised not to get too close to where the water falls due to falling rocks, but we could swim freely elsewhere. We swam for about an hour. After that, we went to Rainbow Falls near Hilo to enjoy the view. We returned to Waikoloa via Saddle Road around 5 PM. I don't think there will be any particular issues even if you don't understand English.

八時過ぎホテルを出発し、ワイピオ渓谷展望台からワイピオ渓谷を眺める。それからアカカ滝を見て、ボタニカルガーデンでお弁当。一時間ほど滞在してから、とあるホテルの敷地にある滝に行く。ホテルの敷地にミニバンを停める。そこにある男女別の更衣室で順番に着替える。割と清潔感があると思った。ライフ邪見っとを借りて、滝つぼまで下りていき滝つぼで泳いだ。最初冷たく感じたがなれると気持ちいい。滝が落ちるところは岩が落ちてくるといけないので近づかないように言われたがほかは自由に泳げた。一時間程度泳ぐ。それからヒロ近くのレインボー滝にいく。滝を眺める。サドルロードを通ってワイコロアに戻る。夕方五時過ぎ。英語が分からなくても特に困らないと思う。

The Japanese guide was great. 日本語ガイドがよかった。

Reviewed by: RygerSeven

For the tour departing at 10:30, we needed to arrive at the heliport an hour in advance. The heliport is located near Waikoloa. We arrived at 9:30, checked in, and then watched a video. When the time came, we took a tour of the Big Island, flying counterclockwise. It was about a two-hour helicopter tour. The pilot, who is from Massachusetts, provided guidance in a mix of Japanese and English. There were a total of seven of us on board: four Japanese, the pilot, and two Americans. It was very helpful that the guide spoke Japanese.

十時三十分出発のツアーで一時間前までにヘリポートに行く必要がある。ヘリポートはワイコロア近くにある。九時半に到着してチェックインしてから、ビデオを見た。時間になりハワイ島を左回りに一周した。約二時間のヘリツアー。マサチューセッツ州出身の操縦士が日本語と英語を混ぜながら案内してくれた。登場したのは我々日本人四人と操縦士とアメリカ人二人の合計七人。ガイドは日本語を話せるのでとても助かった。

My family, including two teenagers, agreed this was an amazing tour and a must experience. Our guide, Kaleo, a resident of the valley, was funny and knowledgeable about the history, legends, and way of life for the current residents of the Waipio Valley. We saw wild horses, birds, waterfalls, and stunning views. We also enjoyed our time at Waipio Valley Artworks while we waited for our check-in. Customer service was also great.
