The helicopter flight was great - one of the best so far.
The staff was professional, and the facilities were new and clean. They gave us the phone harness and the wind breaker (which was essential).
The pilot - Steve - was experienced and guided through the entire flight giving us confidence.
The fly around the volcano was the most amazing of all.
The doors-off does present windy conditions on top of already windy (in addition to the lift from blades). So if you are on the edge seats, be ready to enjoy the ride with strong winds hitting your body and the face.

I think the biggest attraction is using the runway at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport. The pilot was a local and spoke only English, but the staff provided advice on basic conversations before boarding.
ダイエルKイノウエ空港の滑走路を使用するのが最大の魅力だと思います。

We participated in this tour as a family (four adults). I'm glad we chose the helicopter without doors. It was thrilling, and without the doors, we had a great view of the scenery!! I was impressed by the incredibly beautiful views, such as Hanauma Bay. The pilot (English only) was also very kind and wonderful! He piloted while explaining important locations. Don't forget to tip the pilot!! If you receive good service, it's nice to give a gratuity.
I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication, as I think people who are not used to helicopters will definitely get sick! We took motion sickness medication in advance and chose the shorter 30-minute course, but we still felt a little nauseous. Just when I thought I was getting sick, we landed, so it was okay, but if it had been the longer 60-minute course, I might have felt worse.
We also purchased the video recording option, but to be honest, I think it wasn't necessary. There was no audio, and the visuals weren't very clear, so it felt like it wasn't worth the price. Other than that, I was very satisfied! I highly recommend this tour!
私たちは家族(大人4人)でこのツアーに参加しました。ドアなしのヘリコプターを選択して良かったです。スリルがあったし、ドアがないので景色が良く見えました!!ハナウマ湾などすごく美しい景色に感動しました。そして、パイロット(英語のみ)の方もすごく優しくて素晴らしかったです!重要な場所の説明をしながら操縦してくださいました。パイロットさんにチップをあげるのを忘れないでくださいね!!良い対応してもらったらお心付けを渡しましょう。
ヘリコプターに慣れていない人は絶対酔うと思うので、酔い止めを飲むことを強くお勧めします!私たちは酔い止めを事前に飲み、短めの30分コースを選択しましたが、それでも少しだけ酔いました。酔って来たなーと思ったところで、着陸したので大丈夫でしたが、長い60分コースとかだったら気持ち悪くなっていたかもしれません。
私たちはオプションでビデオ録画も買いましたが、はっきりいってこれはいらなかったと思います。音声はないし、映像もあまり鮮明ではなかったので、これでこの値段か・・・って感じでした。それ以外は大満足!すごくお勧めのツアーです!

The office where we gathered was very clean, and they provided drinks, snacks, and muffins before and after the experience.
A Japanese person explained the instruments and piloting in Japanese, which was reassuring. Depending on the weather that day, they created a flight plan, and after taking off from Honolulu Airport, we headed north, went west, and returned to Waikiki before landing back at Honolulu Airport.
During the flight, the instructor, Mash, explained various geographical details in simple and easy-to-understand English, allowing me to learn about a new side of Hawaii. He was very kind and a great person. Thank you very much.
During the one-hour flight, I was able to take control of the yoke for about half of the time, and they also issued a flight certificate, which I was very satisfied with. I would like to use this service again the next time I come to Hawaii.
集合した事務所がとても綺麗で、体験前と後に飲み物とスナック、マフィンを出して下さいました。

当日の天候により、飛行プランを作成してくださり、ホノルル空港離陸の後、ノース方面へ行き、ウエストを経由してワイキキに戻り、ホノルル空港着陸しました。
インストラクターのマッシュさんが飛行中、わかりやすい簡単な英語で、色々地理の事を説明しくださり、新しいハワイを知るこことができました。とても優しくいい方でした。ありがとうございました。

We participated in a 60-minute flight course for two.
The actual flight course was from Honolulu Airport, around the coast to the east, to Dillingham Airfield, where we landed once to switch pilots, then over the Dole Plantation, making a U-turn over the airfield and back around the coast to the west, returning to Honolulu Airport. It was so much fun to circle Oahu from the sky. We experienced thrilling moments with steep descents and sharp turns under the instructor's control. The instructor spoke English, but the flying wasn't too difficult, so it's not a problem if you don't understand English very well.
Although it was suggested to bring sunglasses, I personally had no issues without them. Since you get quite a lot of wind on your face, I recommend that women tie their hair back.
The owner couple who came to pick us up were Japanese, so we had a nice chat in the car. Initially, we were guided to the office for a briefing, where they provided drinks and snacks, allowing us to have a comfortable time. The restroom was also spacious and clean.
I think this experience is highly recommended for those with a short stay, as you can see almost all the famous spots on Oahu.
2人で60分×2フライトコースに参加しました。
実際の飛行コースは、ホノルル空港→海岸を東周り→ディリンガム飛行場→一度着陸して操縦者交代→ドールプランテーション上空→飛行場上空までUターンして海岸を西周り→ホノルル空港 でした。
空からオアフ島を一周できてとても楽しかったです。
インストラクターの操縦で急降下や急旋回も体験させてもらいスリリングでした笑
インストラクターは英語でしたが、操縦はそこまで難しくなく、英語がほぼわからなくても問題ないです。
持ち物としてサングラスとの記載がありますが、私の場合はサングラスなしでもとくに問題ありませんでした。
かなり顔に風をうけるので女性の方は髪をまとめていくことをオススメします。

We went from the airport to Waikiki, heading towards Kahala, and then counterclockwise to the North Shore, passing by the Dole Plantation and Pearl Harbor in that order. The piloting was from the ocean near Kahala to Pearl Harbor. It seemed like it wouldn't be a problem for those who don't speak English. I think it would have been even better if we could have flown around Diamond Head from the ocean side or if we could have pulled the control stick during takeoff. Seeing Hawaii from above at a low altitude is amazing.
空港からワイキキの街からカハラ方向へ抜けて反時計回りでノースショア→ドールプランテーション横→パールハーバーという順で回りました。

海側からダイヤモンドヘッドを回ったり、離陸時の操縦桿を引くところだけでも出来たら尚良かったと思います。

I actually struggle with English, so I could hardly understand the explanation before we started. I was very anxious, relying only on the visuals, but once we began, the view from above Hawaii was incredibly beautiful, which eased my anxiety and allowed me to enjoy it greatly. Since there were no windows, it was colder up there than I imagined, and even with the borrowed warm clothing, it was still a bit chilly. For those who have the opportunity to ride, wearing a bit of extra clothing is essential!

The refreshing feeling of taking off into the sky while watching passenger planes from Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is something you should experience at least once. You get to enjoy an aerial tour guided over key spots on Oahu, including Waikiki, Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Kualoa Ranch, and the Dole Plantation. Along the way, I had the rare opportunity to pilot the plane myself. The beauty of the ocean and the close-up view of the mountains at Kualoa Ranch are truly unique to flying in a Cessna. The staff were Japanese, which made me feel at ease during the transportation as well. I'm really glad I had this experience.
