All Reviews for Helicopter & Airplane Tours

I was fitted with a harness by the instructor, while other instructors were taking photos in front of the sign and communicating. However, when they realized I was Japanese and couldn't speak much English, they quickly went behind the scenes and didn't come out again.

As others moved, we headed to the waiting area before boarding the plane. The instructor arrived late and took photos in front of the outdoor sign. After that, we waited for boarding, during which a GoPro was recording, resulting in 1,659 images sent to us that were mostly irrelevant. Two-thirds of the total images were just random shots taken without permission.

I understand that the energy levels vary among instructors, but if the images are just for counting, I don't need them. The data was downloaded without consent.

At the reception, there was a Japanese woman who was reassuring and attentive, which made me feel at ease.

Overall, it was a valuable experience that is hard to come by.

インストラクターにハーネスを着けてもらい、他のインストラクターは、看板前で撮影等して、コミュニケーションをしていたが、日本人で英語がそれぼど話せないと分かると、すぐ裏へ帰り出て来ない。
他の人達が移動するので飛行機搭乗前の待機場へ移動すると、遅れてインストラクターが来て、外の看板前で撮影。その後、飛行機搭乗まで待機しているが、その間GoPro回っていて、送られた画像1659枚がその時のどうでもいい画像。トータル三分のニの画像が、無断な数合わせの画像でした。
インストラクターによって、テンションが違うのは、分かるが数合わせの画像なら、いらない。データダウンロードの無断です。

受け付けには、日本人女性がいらっしゃて、安心、親身に対応して、いただきました。

体験としては、なかなか体験出来ない貴重な体験をさせていただきました。

My first skydiving experience in my life! It was a bit scary, but more than that, I felt the wind of Hawaii and felt like I became a bird. It was an absolutely amazing feeling!

人生初のスカイダイビング！　ちょっと怖かったですが、それよりもハワイの風を感じて鳥になった気分になれて、最高に気持ちよかったです！

I participated with my daughter, who is in middle school. My wife stayed on land because she gets motion sickness easily.

During takeoff and landing, there was hardly any acceleration or impact like you would experience on a regular passenger plane; it was a quiet takeoff and landing with almost no jolt. In the air, there was very little turbulence, making for a safe and secure flight.

We had already visited places like Diamond Head and Pearl Harbor beforehand, and it was great to see them from the sky as if confirming what we had seen. It was nice to see parts of the former volcanic crater that are too large to understand without viewing them from above.

Over Pearl Harbor, the shape of the sunken battleship was clearly visible, filling in the missing pieces of the puzzle from our land tour (with a different company). Honestly, just this experience made it worth participating.

私(父)と中学生の娘と2人で参加。
妻は乗り物酔いしやすいので陸で待機。
離着陸は、通常の旅客機で体験するような加速度や衝撃は全くと言ってよいほど無く、静かに離陸、着陸もほとんど衝撃なし。
空でも大した揺れもなく、安心安全な航行でした。
事前に、ダイヤモンドヘッドやパールハーバーなどの見学を済ませており、それを空から答え合わせするように見ることができて良かった。
かつての火山の噴火口跡など、大きすぎて空から見ないとわからない部分を見ることができて良かった。
パールハーバー上空では、沈んでいる戦艦の形がくっきりと視認でき、陸での(別会社の別ツアーでの)見学時の欠けていたパズルのピースを埋めるようで、正直、これだけでも参加して良かったくらい。

Wow just wow, Shane was our pilot and boy he had a lot of knowledge of the island and for him to give a good answer to everyone's questions was exceptional. The ride was smooth, we felt safe and it was longer than I expected. The views are amazing and beautiful. My grandkids and I truly loved this experience. Shane even let Liam shut the helicopter down once we landed.

I had a great time. A very kind instructor was with us, and he was gentle in guiding my 10-year-old daughter as well. Thank you very much. He was also considerate of her motion sickness, talking to her and being very kind. When I go again next time, I would like to request him specifically. He was that kind of instructor. Thank you very much.

めちゃ楽しかったです。
とても優しいお兄さんがついてくれて、10歳の娘にも優しく指導してくれて、有難うございました。飛行機酔いも気にしてくれて、いろいろ話しかけてくれたり、優しかったです。
次回行く時は、指名したいと思います。そのぐらい、優しい教官でした。
有難うございました。

We had a fantastic tour. The doors off was a cool experience. Our pilot was excellent and highlighted everything we were seeing. Highly recommended.

Even though I took motion sickness medication, I still felt nauseous and ended up vomiting after landing. Also, because of the rapid descent, I didn't have the chance to equalize my ears, and they became extremely painful. I couldn't even enjoy the scenery and ended up forgetting about it, so I recommend buying the video, even though it's expensive.

酔い止めを飲んでも酔って地上に降りてから吐きました。また、急降下するので耳抜きをする余裕もなく、めちゃくちゃ耳が痛くなります。景色を楽しむ余裕もなく忘れてしまうので、高いですが動画を買うのをおすすめします。

I applied with the assurance that the pilot would be Japanese. The pre-flight briefing, the guidance while in the air, and the explanation after landing were all conducted in Japanese, which was reassuring. Although it wasn't clear skies, I still think it will be an amazing experience.

パイロットが日本人確約で申し込みました。
事前の説明、空に上がってからのガイド、降機後の説明、やはり日本語でのコミュニケーションは安心です。
快晴ではなかったもののそれでも感動すると思います。

My 18-year-old son had an experience. At first, he seemed nervous, but from the moment he jumped, he was smiling the whole time and said it was a wonderful experience. For several days, he couldn't calm down from the excitement and said he definitely wants to jump again. The person in charge was also very nice, so we will be using this service again next time.

18歳の息子が体験しました。
最初は緊張していたようですが、飛んだ瞬間から終始笑顔で素晴らしい経験ができたと喜んでいます。
数日間は興奮冷めやらずで、また絶対に飛ぶそうです。
担当の方もとても良い方だったようで次回もこちらでお世話になります。

My First Skydiving Experience
I was really nervous before jumping, but while I was flying, the exhilaration was incredible; it was truly the best!

初めてのスカイダイビング
飛び出す前はドキドキでしたが、飛んでいる時は爽快感がすごく、本当に最高でした！

The instructors were all kind and many of them were interesting. The sea, mountains, and islands looked beautiful from above, and I was truly moved.

インストラクターさんもみんな優しく、面白い方が多い印象でした。上空から見る海、山、島どれも綺麗で感動しかなかったです。

I had some trouble with the initial input process, but there was someone at the reception who spoke Japanese, so I was able to complete the procedures somehow.

27 years ago, when I went skydiving in Hawaii, it was really exhilarating, but this time, both my spouse and I started to feel dizzy during the freefall and experienced a bit of motion sickness. My buddy was very kind and made me feel safe during the dive, but the spinning in the air was quite tough.

We felt our age a bit and couldn't enjoy it as much, but it turned out to be a good experience for the second time.

始めの入力作業に手間取ってしまったのですが、受付に日本語ができる方がいてなんとか手続きできました。
27年前にハワイでスカイダイビングした時は、とってもだの覚めたのですが、今回は、夫婦共にダイブ後の空中遊泳中に目が回り始めてしまい、やや乗り物酔いをしてしまいました。バディは、とっても親切で安心してダイブできたのですが、くるくる空中遊泳は、辛かったでした。
私たちは、老いを感じ少し楽しめませんでしたが、2度目の良い重艶になりました。

I looked at various reviews and was attracted by the opportunity to experience piloting, so I made a reservation.

It was a one-hour sightseeing flight, but I was able to operate the control stick more than I had imagined, and I was very satisfied.

いろいろな口コミを拝見して、操縦体験ができる点に魅力を感じ、予約を入れました。


1時間の遊覧飛行でしたが、想像以上に操縦桿の操作をさせていただき、大満足です。

It was so much fun, and I'm really glad I did it! For those who are hesitating, you absolutely should experience it! ✨ A few years ago, I couldn't do it, and it had been on my mind ever since. So, during this trip to Hawaii, I decided that no matter what, I would go skydiving!

At 6:40 AM, a shuttle arrived to pick us up in Waikiki. After stopping at two locations, there were a total of 10 of us in the van. We arrived at the site in about an hour. There were various languages being spoken in the van, which added to the experience (Japanese, Chinese, American).

Upon arrival, we checked in and entered the necessary information on an iPad. Once that was done, we waited on a bench. *I got bitten by a bug during this time, so it might be good to have something like Muhi (anti-itch cream) on hand.

When it was our turn, my name was displayed on a board, and the instructor helped me put on the gear. The person assisting me would be the one jumping with me. I was worried because I didn't understand English well, but the instructors are used to dealing with Japanese participants, so it was fine.

After that, we boarded the Cessna and went up into the sky. I enjoyed the view while waiting excitedly for the moment 💓. After that, I just had to trust the instructor and jump together. Make sure to keep your eyes open and enjoy the beautiful sky and ocean of Hawaii! ✨ After the parachute opens, they will even teach you a bit about steering.

I recommend taking photos and videos (I keep looking back at them with nostalgia). I was surprised that the instructor was wearing sandals, but since they are experienced, I felt safe until landing (*•̀ᴗ•́*)👍. Once everyone had completed their dives, they took us back to Waikiki.

We arrived at the hotel around 11:40 AM, so it felt like we spent the whole morning on this adventure. I hope everyone gets to have a fun experience too! ✨

楽しすぎて本当にやって良かったー♬.*迷っている方は絶対！絶対体験した方が良いです✨
数年前に訪れた時、やれなかったのがずっと心残りで、今回のHawaii旅行では何がなんでもスカイダイビングはやろう！と決めて参加しました。
その際、ベルトラの体験談がとても参考になったので、どなたかの参考になれば幸いです。

6時40分にワイキキへ送迎車が来てくれました。その後2箇所経由してバンには計10名で乗り合わせ。1時間ほどで現地に着きました。車内では色んな言葉が飛び交っておりこれも良い体験になりましたw(日本人、中国人、アメリカ人)
到着後、受付し、iPadで必要事項の入力。終わったらベンチがあるのでそこで待機。
※この時虫に刺されました💦【ムヒ】などあると良いでしょう。

順番になると掲示板に自分の名前が表示され、インストラクターの方が器具を装着してくれます。この時対応してくれる方が一緒に飛んでくださる方になります。英語が分からなくて不安でしたが、インストラクターの方も日本人の対応に慣れているので大丈夫です。
その後セスナに乗り込んで上空まで。景色を楽しみながらワクワクドキドキその時を待ちます💓
後はインストラクターに任せて一緒に飛ぶだけ(^^)
目を閉じないように、Hawaiiの綺麗な空と海をちゃんと楽しんでください✨
パラシュートが開いてからは軽く操縦も教えてくれますよ
写真とビデオ撮影おすすめします。(余韻で見返してますw)
インストラクターがサンダルだったのでビックリしましたが、ベテランの方でしょうから着地まで安心して大丈夫です(*•̀ᴗ•́*)👍
同乗者全員のダイブが終わりましたらワイキキまで送迎してくれます。
11時40分頃ホテルに着いたので、ざっと午前中いっぱいの感じでした。
皆様も楽しい体験を是非✨

I've always thought that I wanted to try skydiving at least once in my life, but I was scared. In the end, I went for it and it was so much fun!!! Just thinking about the moment I jumped still makes me shiver, but once I was falling, it was enjoyable, and I got to see so many beautiful views. Also, I feel like I became stronger from the experience, haha. I don't think I'll regret jumping! It's definitely a memory to cherish from Hawaii ♡

人生で1回はスカイダイビングしてみたいけど怖い、とずっと思っていましたが、結局飛んでめっちゃ楽しかったです！！！
降りる瞬間のことは今思い出しただけでも震えますが、落ちてからは楽しくて、景色もいっぱい見れました。あとなんか、飛んだことで強くなった気がします笑　飛んで後悔はないと思います！ハワイの思い出にぜひ♡

Lani Lea Sky is the best company. Both the ground staff and the pilots are kind and have no complaints. The views from the sky, including Diamond Head, are breathtaking, and I was moved by the beautiful rainbows seen from above. It was amazing to see the filming locations of Jurassic Park from the air. I want to fly again. I think I might become addicted to it.

lani Lea Skyは最高の会社です。地上のスタッフもパイロットも親切で言う事無しです。ダイヤモンドヘッドをはじめ、空から見る景色は絶景で、また空から見る虹は美しく感動しました。ジェラシックパークの撮影場所空から見る事が出来て最高でした。また、飛んでみたいと思います。やみつきになりそうです。

Nič podobné som ešte nevidela.Urcite doporučujem pri návšteve tohoto krásneho divokého ostrova!

It was a wonderful experience. I heard that the wind was strong and flights were canceled until a few days ago, so I was lucky. The pilot and the other staff were friendly, and both the scenery and the flight were amazing!

素晴らしい体験でした。数日前まで風が強く飛ばなかったそうなので、ラッキーでした。パイロットもその他のスタッフも感じが良く
、景色も飛行も最高でした！

This time, I experienced an aerial tour of Hawaii for the first time in 10 years. My family (my wife and younger son) and I took a Cessna, and it was an amazing and thrilling 60 minutes. The weather was great that day, and there was very little turbulence, which was nice. The young and handsome pilot, Tanaka, provided thorough explanations and guidance, which made me feel very comfortable and reassured. We had a fantastic experience with plenty of opportunities for coastal sightseeing and hands-on piloting.

(The course and experience seem to be influenced by the weather, so we were lucky.) At one point, we spotted a whale and the pilot descended to get a closer look. We also witnessed a passenger plane landing from above and experienced an impressive sharp turn over the airport runway for landing. It was a very enjoyable flight.

I went on this trip for my eldest son's wedding, and it has become one of the best memories of my trip to Hawaii.

Pilot Tanaka, the staff who handled the pick-up, flight explanations, and everyone else were all friendly, making for a fun time. It was also reassuring that everything was conducted in Japanese. Thank you very much. Mahalo~ 😁

今回10年ぶりにハワイの空中散歩を体験しに行きました。セスナで家族で（妻、次男）体験しましたがとても素晴らしく興奮の60分でした。当日はお天気もとても良くて、ほとんど揺れることも少なく、良かったです。若くてイケメンの田中パイロットが丁寧に解説しながら、手取り足取り教えて下さったのがとても安心で良かったです。離陸から海岸散歩と操縦体験もたくさんさせてもらって大満足の体験となりました。
（コースや体験は天候に左右されるらしく、ラッキーでした）
途中クジラを見つけて下降してもらったり、旅客機の着陸を上空から見届けて空港滑走路を越えての急旋回着陸の凄技を見せてもらったりとても楽しいフライトでした。
　今回長男の結婚式の機会で行きましたが、最高のハワイ旅行の思い出の一つとなりました。

　田中パイロット、送迎からフライト説明、対応いただいた方全てがフレンドリーで楽しい時間を過ごさせてもらいました。すべて日本語対応も安心感がありました。
どうもありがとうございました。マハロ〜😁

We had an awesome experience with Blue Hawaiian. We weren't able to experience the complete experience because of poor weather over Volcano National Park but Blue Hawaiian did an excellent job of working with us to create an alternative tour for us. Dale was great as our pilot and tour guide.

I rode in a doorless helicopter for the first time! It was thrilling and a really great experience.

The scenery was beautiful, and I even got to see whales. I'm really glad I participated!

初めてドアなしのヘリコプターに乗りました！
スリルがあってとてもいい経験になりました。

景色も綺麗でで、クジラまで見ることができ、本当に参加して良かったです！

We were hopping the volcano would be erupting when we booked the flight, but missed by 2 days. We did see the layout of the volcano and got a better understanding what happens and where it happens.

He took us into a very narrow canyon and we got within feet of the walls.
He pointed out the whales and paused so we could get a good look.

It was easily the apex of our vacation in Maui.

Unfortunately, the weather on the day was not great, and we couldn't do the planned flight over the volcano, which was disappointing. However, the alternative suggested was a landing plan at the waterfall. When I signed up, I thought it was a bit pricey, so I didn't include the waterfall landing, but adding that option turned out to be a great decision!

The view of the waterfall from above and the experience of landing right next to it are completely different in terms of impact. Walking through the tropical rainforest after descending was refreshing, and it was fascinating to see various fruits along the way. Since we could land in places that only a helicopter can reach, I highly recommend the waterfall landing!

We had the helicopter to ourselves as there were five of us in the family. The seating arrangement is determined by weight, so those who got to sit in the front row or on the ends were lucky.

当日はあいにくのお天気で予定していた火山上空へのフライトは出来ず残念でしたが、代わりに提案いただいたのが滝の着陸プラン。
申し込んだときはちょっとお高いので滝への着陸はつけていなかったのですが、オプション付けて大正解！！
上から見たと滝と着陸して間近に見る滝とでは迫力が全然違うし、滝を降りての熱帯雨林のお散歩は気持ちよく、様々なフルーツも見れてとても興味深かったです。ヘリじゃなくちゃいけないところに着陸できるので、滝の着陸、おススメ！！
家族5人で乗ったので貸しきりでした。
体重などによって乗る場所が決まるので、最前列や両端に載れた人はラッキー。

My son experienced it. He said the scenery was really beautiful and he had a lot of fun. However, after spinning around and floating, his first words when he got off were, "I feel sick... tears."

息子が体験しました。とーっても景色が良くて楽しかったようです。しかし、ぐるんぐるん回転したり、ふわふわしたり…降りての第一声は「酔った…涙」でした。

I finally challenged myself to the skydiving I've always dreamed of. At first, I was nervous, but once I jumped, I experienced much more airtime than I had imagined, and I was truly moved by the breathtaking views and thrills.

The instructor who guided me was very friendly, and since I got to experience handling the controls, it felt great to not just be "flying," but to really feel like I was "participating" in the experience!

On the day of the jump, there is about a 30-minute wait from arrival until the jump, and another 30 minutes from landing until you leave, so it's a good idea to bring a mobile charger.

Regarding tips, there was a suggested amount written on the envelope given at the end, so I used that as a reference when I gave my tip.

It does take a bit of courage, but the unforgettable experience is worth it, so I highly recommend it for anyone looking to create special memories in Hawaii.

ずっと憧れていた念願のスカイダイビングに挑戦しました。
最初は緊張しましたが、いざ飛んでみると想像以上に滞空時間があり、景色もスリルも存分に楽しめて本当に感動しました。

担当してくれたインストラクターさんはとてもフレンドリーで、ハンドル操作を体験させてくれたこともあり、ただ飛ぶだけでなく「参加している」感覚が良かったです！

当日は到着してから飛ぶまで、また着地してから帰るまでにそれぞれ30分ほど待ち時間があるので、モバイル充電器を持っていった方がいいです。

チップについては、最後に渡される封筒に目安金額が記載されていたので、それを参考にしてお渡ししました。

少し勇気は要りますが、それ以上に忘れられない体験ができるので、ハワイで特別な思い出を作りたい方にはぜひおすすめしたいです。

Although there were clouds and it wasn't completely clear, thanks to Mr. Clinton's attentive guidance, we were able to have a comfortable flight.

雲があって快晴ではありませんでしたが、クリントンさんのていねいな指導によって快適なフライトをすることができました。

It was truly amazing! If you're hesitating, definitely give it a try. It's not at a height that would be scary even for those with a fear of heights, so I can't really say. You don't need to understand English to enjoy it! The weather was great on the day, and I was only worried about the motion sickness mentioned in the reviews, but I had no symptoms at all. It was just pure fun!

本当に最高でした！
迷われている方、是非飛んでみて下さい。
高所恐怖症でも怖いというレベルの高さでは無いので、もはや分からないです。
英語が分からなくても大丈夫です！
当日は天気も良く、口コミにある酔いだけが心配でしたが、症状も全く無く、ただただ楽しかったの一言でした。

I was able to swim through the vast sky, and the contrast with the blue ocean was amazing. The instructors were all cheerful and had great energy!

大空を空中遊泳ができ、青い海のコントラストも最高でした。インストラクターも皆さん陽気でノリもサイコー

Since I was pregnant, I had to give up hiking, but I was able to enjoy the great outdoors on this sightseeing flight tour! There were many waterfalls, and I got to see breathtaking views that I've never seen before! Also, since it was whale watching season, we were able to see several whales from the Cessna plane! The family I was with was so excited about the whales that the pilot adjusted our route to chase after them, showing how flexible and accommodating he was in the moment!

妊娠中だったため、ハイキングは断念し、こちらの遊覧飛行ツアーで大自然を楽しむことができました！
滝がたくさんあって、みたことのない絶景をたくさんみることができました！！
また、ホエールウォッチングのシーズンということもあり、セスナ機？の中からも複数のホエールを見ることができました！同乗した家族がホエールに興奮していたので、パイロットが追いかけてくれたりと、その場その場で融通がきくパイロットさんでした！
