Unforgettable trip to a beautiful place

This tour is wonderful. Waipio Valley is an incredible place, and the tour guide (who grew up in the Valley and lives there still) was phenomenal.

Great insight

Reviewed by: Diane

We had done a tour of Waipio decades ago when it was a horse drawn wagon tour. The van tour we did this year was many times better than that one, and our guide was actually a resident of Waipio and gave a lot of insight into the area.

Although this is now the only way that you can visit the Waipio Valley it is so worth taking the guided tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history and culture of the valley, and shared loads of local insights and stories which made this one of the best tours we have ever experienced

Hawaii Horseback Riding Tour with Waterfall Swim at Umauma Falls

Fun experience

Reviewed by: Veronica

My family did this experience. It’s quite a drive to get to this place. I did this with my husband and 2 kids (ages 12 & 9). The tour guides were really friendly and informative. They chose our horses for us based on weight and experience. The horses know where they’re going so there’s little for the rider to do. The waterfall was very cold, deep, and there’s quite a current! Be prepared if you want to swim (we did!). They have kayaks and paddle boards if you prefer not to swim. My kids loved this experience and have been asking for horseback lessons since we got back. Bring a long sleeve shirt or light jacket just in case- we were chilly!

Reviewed by: JPA

We’ve been to Waipio Valley several times but have never taken a guide-led tour, and it made a huge difference. The guide was charming, knowledgeable and experienced. We saw parts of the valley that we wouldn’t have been able to in the past, and certainly now that the valley is closed to non-residents. Highly recommend!

My wife and I took this tour with our three young kids. We had a very knowledgeable guide for our tour—Ray. He is a native of Waipo Valley and he had a lot of good information to tell us both about Waipo Valley and Hawaiian history in general. Beyond this, the valley itself is breathtakingly beautiful! All of us thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

Overall, this was an excellent tour!

Reviewed by: EB

A must do experience on the big island. The tour guide did a great job of driving the very steep and very bumpy road and explaining the history of the valley. If you get car sick or can't handle a really bumpy ride, you may want to wait til a hiking trail is made. At this time, this is the only way to see the valley. We finished our tour with a Hawaiian lunch at the food truck down the road and a fruit stand. It was a perfect day.

Took this tour 6 years ago and had the most amazing experience. So I had to do it again. This tour offers the best of Big Island because you get to see Akaka Falls and Rainbow Falls. We saw lots of turtles at black sand beach and an actual rainbow at Rainbow Falls! Our guide Brent was very informative and helpful.

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

The scenery that I usually don't get to see was wonderful. 普段見れない景色が素晴らしかった。

Reviewed by: としぼう

We experienced this with four friends. Our friends sat in the front row next to the pilot, while my husband and I were in the back right side. Shortly after takeoff, we headed north from above the coastline of Waikoloa towards the Kohala Mountains. We were amazed by the beauty of Waikoloa where we were staying, and the view of Maui from the sea was also deeply moving. It was all of our first time on a helicopter, and I thought the fear would be overwhelming, but as we ascended along the mountain slopes, we were able to enjoy it with a moderate sense of tension. The beauty of Waipi'o Valley was stunning, and I wanted to land and explore, but since it was a short course this time, we just circled without landing. (Next time, I would like to have lunch there.) Lastly, the staff were kind, friendly, and we had a great time. (One of the female staff members looked just like my mother when she was younger, which made me laugh.)

友人夫婦４人で体験いたしました。

離陸直後、西側の海岸線のワイコロアの上空から、北上しコハラ山脈に向かいました。
宿泊しているワイコロアの綺麗さに驚き、また、海から眺めるマウイ島も
感慨ぶかいものがありました。
４人ともヘリに乗るのは初めてで、怖さが勝るかと思いましたが、山の傾斜に
沿って高度を上げていったので、適度な緊張感で楽しむ事が出来ました。
ワイピオの谷あいも美しく、着陸して楽しみたかったですが、今回は短時間のコースでしたので、着陸せずに周遊するだけでした。
（次回は、ランチでもしたいです。）
最後にスタッフの方々も優しく、親切で楽しい時間が過ごせました。

There and back again!

Reviewed by: Robert S.

It was almost magical, definitely a fun tour to a place you cannot go on your own. Waipoi valley is like going to a hidden paradise that only a few outsiders get to visit and I feel envigorated that I was one of them. I saw many people in regular vehicles at the view point over looking the valley but only residents and tour groups are allowed to enter the valley and if you request it you can get off the 4x4 van and walk to the beach and catch the next vehicle back for a small fee. Overall I very nice experience.

Two-person buggy! ２人乗りバギー！

Reviewed by: あくあ

I rode with a 9-year-old, and it was incredibly exciting. We went through the jungle, climbed up and down, which was quite thrilling (maybe because of my driving?). Ducks followed us at the pond, and we got to do some fishing. The view of the white-capped Pacific Ocean from the cliffs was amazing. Along the way, we saw some rare flowers and tried some fruits; it was a packed two and a half hours. In addition to our group of eight, there were two Western couples, and we had two friendly guides for our party of ten. I highly recommend it.

9才の子と乗りましたが大興奮でした。ジャングルを通ったり、登ったりくだったりかなりスリリングでした（私の運転のせいか？）
池であひるがついてきたり、釣りさせてくれたり。崖から白波の太平洋を見下ろすのは最高です。途中珍しいお花を見たりフルーツを食べてみたり盛りだくさんの2時間半でした。私達8人のほかに２人欧米人カップルがいて、10人パーティーに優しいガイドさんが２人付いてきてくれました。オススメです。

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 helicopter tour around the Big Island of Hawaii. ヘリでハワイ島1周

Reviewed by: タコさん

The fee was over 100,000 yen per person, and I thought it was expensive, but I was relieved when Tosi, the Japanese-speaking pilot, welcomed us. I also took a helicopter ride over Iguazu Falls, which was 28,000 yen for 15 minutes, and this flight was two and a half hours. If we calculate simply, that would be 280,000 yen. In reality, we flew from the Waikoloa heliport to Hilo and had to refuel, which also incurs fuel costs. Above all, the pilot explained everything in Japanese and answered various questions clearly, and the view of the volcanic crater was impressive! The waterfalls in the canyon were also wonderful. I gained a good understanding of how the Big Island was formed, and it was definitely worth it. If you have the time, the course that takes you down to the waterfalls would also be great... Participated on August 22, 2023.

料金が一人10万円超え、高いと思いながらの参加でしたが、日本語のパイロットのリクエストがかなってTosiさんがお出迎え安心しました。
イグアスの滝遊覧でもヘリに乗りましたが15分で2万8000円、今回のフライトは2時間半、単純計算で10倍とすると28万円。実際ワイコロアのヘリポートからヒロまで飛んで給油、燃料代もかかっています。何よりパイロットが日本語で説明、いろいろな質問にも明快に応えてくださり、火山の火口も迫力満点！渓谷の滝も素晴らしかったです。ハワイ島の成り立ちが良く分かり、絶対損はしません。余裕があれば滝に降りるコースもいいのでは… 2023,8,22参加

- Just getting on the helicopter is exciting.
- If you're in the front seat, the excitement during takeoff is even greater.
- The explanation of the mountains by the Japanese pilot Toshi (also known as Sushi) is easy to understand.
He also responds well to active questions.
- I’m glad I purchased the in-flight and flight path recording. The change in passengers' expressions during takeoff was a nice memory.
- I wish I had added the landing option near the waterfall.

・ヘリコプターに乗機するだけでも興奮する．
・前席であれば、離陸時の興奮はより高まる．

　積極的質問にも対応してくれる．
・乗機中の機内＆航路記録は購入して良かった．離陸時の乗客の表情の変化も記念になりました．
・滝付近に着陸オプションをつければ良かったです．
