I think the satisfaction level will vary depending on the instructor you fly with. If you hit the jackpot, you can experience unimaginable flying techniques and valuable experiences (operations), but if you miss, it's just a matter of falling. It's more nauseating than being on a boat, so it's better to take motion sickness medication.
共に飛ぶインストラクターにより満足度が変わると思います。当たれば想像できない飛び方や貴重な体験(操作)が出来ますが外れるとただ落ちるだけです。
船より酔います。酔い止め飲んだ方がいいです。

I had always wanted to try skydiving at least once in my life, so my husband and I participated together. We were picked up at 5 AM. I had heard from reviews that it takes about an hour to reach the site, but it seemed like there was someone who didn’t make it on time for the meeting, as we kept circling around Waikiki (even an hour later, we were still in Waikiki, picking up someone again at the hotel where I was picked up). I thought it would have been fine to have the meeting time an hour later. In the end, it took just over two hours to reach the site after getting in the car.
We completed reading and signing the contract in the car during the ride, and once we arrived, we listened to the explanation and waited for a while. When our names were called, about eight of us started preparing to board a Cessna. Once on the Cessna, we reached an altitude of 4,200 meters in about 15 minutes! When I asked if we were going to jump from above the clouds, I was told we were still halfway up! Apparently, we were still at half the height above the clouds.
Once we reached the altitude, people started jumping without hesitation. The height was so great that it felt like diving into a picture book! My feelings after jumping were: I was moved to see the roundness of the Earth!! It was a bit cold in a short-sleeved shirt! My mouth was dry! I couldn’t move my hands well (I couldn’t do the throwing kisses like in the videos). My ears hurt! The scenery was beautiful!
I don’t have a strong vestibular system, so I was frequently equalizing my ears even inside the Cessna. Still, my ears hurt during the fall. Once the parachute opened and I had some relief, I quickly equalized my ears, and it got better.
During the parachute descent, I was able to take my time and enjoy the scenery! Luckily, I saw a whale in the ocean! It was another moving experience. However, since there were quite a few turns, I recommend those who are prone to motion sickness to take anti-nausea medication. I took some beforehand, so I was fine.
Also, opting for the video was a great decision! It cost $170. I received the data directly on my phone, so I could upload it to Instagram right away. The cameraman had various ways of filming, but my husband’s camera work was really good, capturing both the background and our flying poses perfectly, making it one of my favorite videos. I feel moved every time I watch it.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience with a huge adrenaline rush! I want to jump again. Thank you!
スカイダイビングは一生に一度はやってみたいと思っていたので、夫婦で参加しました。
早朝5時にピックアップ。口コミで1時間ほどで現地に到着と伺っていたのですが、集合時間に間に合わなかった人がいたのか、ワイキキ周辺をぐるぐる(一時間後もまだワイキキにおり、自分がピックアップされたホテルで再度ピックアップしていた)それなら集合時間1時間遅くて良かったのにと思いました。
結局車に乗ってから計2時間ちょっとで現地につきました。
契約書を読んだり、サインするのは移動中の車の中で済ませ、到着したら説明を聞いて、しばし待機。
名前を呼ばれたひとから、8名くらいで1セスナといった感じで準備を始め、セスナ機へ乗っていきます。セスナに乗ってからは15分くらいで4200メートル地点へ到達できます!雲の上に到達した時に、ここから飛ぶの?と聞いたらまだハーフだよ!と。雲の上でまだ半分の高さだそうです。
到達してからは、ちゅうちょせずにどんどん人が飛んでいきます。高度が高すぎて、絵本の中に飛び込んでいく感覚でした!
落ちてからの感情は
地球は丸いのが見えて感動!!半袖なのですこし寒い!口が乾く!うまく手を動かせない(投げキッスとかする映像のようにはできなかった)耳が痛い!
景色綺麗! です。
私は三半規管が強くはない方なので、セスナ機の中でもこまめに耳抜きをしていました。それでも落下中は耳が痛くなりました。パラシュート開いて余裕ができたので、急いで耳抜きしたら治りました。
パラシュート中はゆっくり景色を見ることができましたよ~!私はラッキーなことに海にクジラをみました!またまた感動でした。
ただ、結構旋回をするので、酔いたすい人は酔い止め服用をお勧めします。私は事前に酔い止めを飲んだので大丈夫でした。
あと、オプションで動画を頼んだのはよかったです!170ドルでした。
データで直接携帯にももらえるので、すぐにインスタにもアップできました。
カメラマンによって取り方はさまざまですが、旦那のほうのカメラワークがとっても上手で背景と飛んでいる姿をばっちり納めてくれていてとってもお気に入りの動画になりました。いつ見ても感動します。
とにかくアドレナリン大放出のすばらしい経験でした!また飛びたいです。
ありがとうございました!

I went by rental car instead of using the shuttle service. The location of the airport was clearly marked, so it wasn't particularly difficult to find (although I did pass it once).
Even though I went in December, which is during the rainy season, we were blessed with clear skies and no wind—it was perfect! Since it was a special experience, I requested a combination of photos and videos.
There were two options for filming: one where the instructor holds a GoPro (which is a bit cheaper) and another where an additional cameraman flies around and captures footage from various angles (which is fairly expensive). This time, I chose to have the external shots taken.
When you request filming, they will take the footage for you, but if you don't like it, you don't have to buy it (especially since sometimes the wind pressure can make your face look strange in the video). The price is relatively high, so it would be disappointing to end up with an awkward expression, so I thought this was a good service. However, since there is an additional cameraman flying around, they do ask that if you request filming, you at least purchase either the images or the video.
Filming takes place from before you board the plane until after you land. Before flying, they do an interview in front of the airport. Since I went with my spouse, they filmed both of us (we each had a cameraman, so there were two different patterns). After the parachute opens, the cameraman descends first and waits on the ground. Once we land, they film us again in an interview format.
Now, about the airport experience...
When you arrive at the airport, you first watch a safety video and sign a waiver. When I mentioned I was Japanese, I was relieved to find that both the video and the documents were in Japanese. The documents contain a lot of scary information, but that’s to be expected. Sometimes they check your identity with your passport or driver's license, but if you use the shuttle service, a copy is fine. The staff advised me not to carry my passport around.
Since some people apparently leave without paying after flying when they arrive by rental car, you have to leave your ID with them.
After that, you just wait for your name to be called. The planes are constantly taking off and landing, and the instructors efficiently pack the parachutes in preparation for the next dive.
When my name and assigned instructor were called, the preparations began. We joked around, saying things like, "Is this your first time?" "It's my first time too!" and then it was finally time to board.
As we ascended (for about 15 minutes), the instructor attached the harness, and then we were off! There was no time to be scared; we jumped right out.
The free fall was intense with the wind pressure, but I could feel the air in my hands and enjoyed the scenery. After the parachute opened, we descended slowly while taking in the view, with the guide pointing out various mountains and bays.
After landing, the video and photos were available to view in about five minutes, so we headed to the movie room. During that time, I wrote a message to the instructor and cameraman who assisted us and placed a tip in the box.
After watching the video, if you liked it, you could purchase it. The video was edited and turned out really well. Both my spouse and I purchased both photos and videos.
The data can be received via USB, but you can also receive it through AirDrop beforehand.
Finally, we took a photo with everyone who flew with us and then parted ways.
It was an incredibly good experience. Thank you!
送迎でなくレンタカーで行きました。飛行場の場所は看板もあり特にわかりづらいという事はありませんでした。(一度通り過ぎましたが)
雨季に当たる12月に行ったものの晴天に恵まれて風もなく最高でした!
せっかくの体験なので写真とビデオのコンビをお願いしました。
価格は違いますが、インストラクターが手に持ったGo Proで撮影するパターン(ちょっとだけ安い)と、もう1人カメラマンが飛んで周りからひたすら撮影するパターン(まぁまぁ高い)の2種類がありました。
今回は外から撮ってもらうことにしました。
撮影をお願いすると撮ってもらえますが、気に入らない場合は買わなくていいそうです(特に動画は風圧で変な顔になっててとても…と言う場合があるからだそう)
価格も割とするので変な顔だと残念なのでいいサービスだと思いました。
ただ、もう1人カメラマンに飛んでもらっているので撮影をお願いした場合はせめて画像、動画のどちらかは購入するようにお願いがありました。
撮影については飛行機に乗り込む前から降りた後までで、飛ぶ前は飛行場の前でインタビュー的なことをやってくれます。今回は夫婦で行ったので2人で撮ってくれました。(2人ともカメラマンをつけたので2パターン)
パラシュートを開いた以降はカメラマンは先に降りて地上でスタンバイしてます。降りたらまたインタビュー形式で撮ってくれます。
撮影の話はこれくらいにして…
飛行場についたらまず、安全のためのムービーと誓約書的な書類にサインします。日本人だと告げるとムービーも書類も日本語なので安心です。書類は怖いこといっぱい書いてますがまぁそんなもんでしょう。
身分を確認するためにパスポートか免許証を確認する時がありますが、送迎の場合はコピーでいいそうです。パスポートは持ち歩かない方がいいよとスタッフに念を押されました。
レンタカーで行くと、飛んだあと支払わずに帰る人がいるらしいので身分証を預けます。
あとは名前を呼ばれるのを待つだけです。
飛行機はひっきりなしに飛んでは降りてを繰り返し、インストラクター達は出際よくパラシュートを畳み次のダイブに備えます。
自分の名前と担当のインストラクターをコールされ、準備が始まります。
君初めて?俺も初めて!みたいなジョークを交えながらワイワイやってたらいよいよ搭乗です。
上昇しながら(15分くらい)インストラクターとハーネスをくっつけて、いざ!
怖がる暇もなく、有無を言わさずポンポン飛びます。
自由落下は風圧はすごいですが、手に空気を感じながら…景色も楽しめました。パラシュートが開いてからはゆっくり景色を楽しみながら飛行場目指して降りていきます。あの山がなんだ…この湾がなんだ…とガイドしてくれました。
降りてからは、5分ほどでムービーと写真が観れるようになるのでムービールームへ
それまでに担当してくれたインストラクターとカメラマンにメッセージを書いて、お礼のチップをボックスに入れます。
ムービー等を見て、良かったら購入する流れになります。
ムービーは編集してくれていてとてもいい仕上がりでした。
夫婦とも写真も動画もどちらも購入しました。
データはUSBで貰えますが、先立ってエアドロップでも受け取ることが可能です。
最後に飛んでくれたみんなと写真を撮って解散しました。
非常に良い経験になりました。ありがとうございました。

I participated with two friends, and we each signed up together. The check-in was handled by someone who spoke Japanese, and the explanations regarding the documents, photography options, and fees including tips were clear and easy to understand. Both the instructor and the photographer who assisted me were male, kind, and gentlemanly. This was my first experience with skydiving, and although this is the only place I know, I would like to jump here again.
You will need to sign a liability waiver for the detailed items. If you wish to take out additional insurance, it might be better to consider other options.

This helicopter tour was booked right after we decided on our trip to Hawaii because my wife wanted to ride it. We waited for three months, excitedly counting down the days on the Veltra website!
To be honest, I'm not great with heights, and even though I was strapped in with a four-point seatbelt, I was still worried and gripping the handrail tightly. Without windows, it felt thrilling as if I might fall. You can feel the wind, and it gets cold, so a long-sleeve jacket is a must.
We took off from Inouye Airport and floated gently, making almost a full circle around Oahu, starting with Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. We also saw a waterfall in the mountains along the way.
Time flew by, and we returned safely! It was a valuable experience, and I had a lot of fun. I want to thank the pilot and the staff.
今回のヘリコプターツアーは、ハワイ旅行が決まって、嫁が乗りたいと言って、すぐに予約しました。
待つこと3ケ月、ワクワクして待っていました。
ベルトラのホームページにも、あと何日とカウントダウン!
実のところ私は、高いところが苦手で、ヘリコプターに乗って4点式シートベルトをして、もう落ちないはずですが、心配で吊り手を握り締めていました。σ(^_^;)
窓がないので、落ちそうでスリル満点。
風を感じ、寒いので長袖ジャケットが必須です。
フワッと浮くとイノウエ空港から離陸し、ワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを始め、オワフ島を左回りにほぼ一周しました。
途中山中の滝も見ました。
あっという間に時間が過ぎて、無事帰還!

The excitement and anticipation peaked! My excitement slightly won over my nerves as the Cessna took off and climbed higher and higher, making my heart race! Bathed in the morning sun, the scenery of Hawaii came into view, and it was so beautiful! While I was captivated by the view, the instructor opened the door of the Cessna!
When it was my turn, I took off with my instructor, Misha! While being photographed by the cameraman, Neil, I experienced freefall! It was hard to breathe! Neil gestured with a fist pump, and I responded with a fist pump and an OK sign too! As I calmed down, I was able to breathe easier and take in the scenery around me.
When the parachute opened, I was moved by the beauty of the surroundings! I felt the grandeur of the Earth's curvature as we turned right and left, and the greenery of the mountains and the blueness of the ocean were incredibly beautiful! I had an amazing time skydiving, filled with excitement and thrill. I definitely want to try it again, and I am grateful to the instructor and all the staff. Thank you very much!

The pickup location was filled with Japanese people. During the journey, we enjoyed some fun conversations. When we arrived at the site, it was raining, but it was clear when we took off. The dive from 4,267 meters was over in no time, but it was an experience like no other. I thought it might be impossible for couples in their 40s and 50s, but it turns out it’s not something they can’t do... It was truly enjoyable.

There were four of us participating, and after a lot of explanations during the car ride to the airport, before I knew it, we were up in the sky... Those who wanted to take photos were the first to jump out, followed by a few others who were tossed out one after another (laughs).

We gathered early in the morning and arrived at the northern airport just before 7 AM. The explanation time was surprisingly short, and there was a sense of urgency to get going. Even though I didn't opt for video recording, I thought at least we could have some conversation, but the instructor was mostly focused on preparing without much interaction. It felt quite impersonal.
Once we took off in the Cessna, it was all very matter-of-fact. Well, I guess that’s just the instructor's personality. What I didn’t like was the way we descended after deploying the paraglider. It was a rapid descent with sudden stops and sharp turns—way too fast. My hips were hurting! Isn’t that a bit too self-centered?
Before I knew it, we were back on the ground. The instructor quickly packed up, probably because it’s just another day for them. After about 15 minutes of maintenance and a break, the instructor was off again with new guests.
I mean, it's fine to be calm and collected, but honestly, the roughness of the descent made me not want to tip. Even in business, I expected at least a minimum level of kindness. Just how many times do you have to do this to get it right? Please don’t treat customers roughly. I won’t be doing this again on Oahu.
早朝集合で、北部の空港着いたのが7時前。
説明時間がやたら短く、さっさといくぞ感。
ビデオ撮影やら、オプション付けてなかったけどさ、せめて会話くらいしてくんね?と思うくらいほとんど絡みなくどんどん支度していくインストラクター。雑感がすごかった。
さあ、セスナで上昇、飛ぶときがきても、淡々と。。。まあ、インストラクターの個性でしょうけど。
良くなかったのはパラグライダー展開後の降下の仕方。急降下、急制動、急旋回、はやいはやい。股関節痛いんですが??!自分本位過ぎではないですかね?
あっという間に地上着。さっさと片付けるインストラクター。まあ、日常だから?
その後、15分くらい整備片付けと休憩したインストラクターはまた新たな客人と空へ。
はぁ、いや、いいんですよ淡々とってところは。ただ、降下の乱暴な感じは正直、チップあげたくなくなりますわ。
ビジネスとしても、最低限の優しさは欲しかったな。

I think there are various activities available, but skydiving probably requires the highest level of determination. When I actually tried it, I realized that it was something that demanded maximum guts, which I don't usually experience in my daily life. However, the experience gained from it allowed me to feel the sensation of free falling and the reality of flying while enjoying the wonderful scenery of Hawaii. It was truly an amazing experience.
いろいろなアクティビティはあると思いますが、スカイダイビングはおそらく最高難度の根性が必要なアクティビティだと思います。

An emotional experience awaits that matches the price.
This time, I decided to stay a bit longer on the Big Island of Hawaii. My goal is to relax as much as possible, but just staying cooped up in a condominium would be boring. I searched for a special tour and finally decided on a helicopter tour! The thought of seeing the Big Island from the sky made my heart race, but there were several challenges to consider.
1. The price is on the higher side
2. Is flying in a helicopter dangerous?
3. Wouldn't a car be sufficient instead of a helicopter?
4. The tour is dependent on the weather
5. Can I ride with a Japanese-speaking pilot (since I can't speak English)?
6. Which tour pattern should I choose?
7. Is the Kilauea eruption safe? And so on. I managed to overcome these challenges and had a wonderful time.
Regarding point 1: The charm of the Big Island lies in its diverse nature. To truly feel that the Earth is alive and continuously evolving, there's no substitute for a helicopter! With a leap of faith, I made the reservation (tears). When I actually flew, it exceeded my expectations. Yes, it is indeed more expensive compared to other tours. However, when considering the "emotional value" rather than the hourly rate, it feels affordable! That's my experience. You can't make expensive purchases on the Big Island, nor do you need to. Therefore, I recommend incorporating this into your travel budget from the start. Of course, this goes without saying for those who are wealthy. Please do experience it.
Regarding point 2: There is no such thing as zero risk in anything, but I believe the probability of a helicopter accident is significantly lower compared to the risks of driving a rental car in unfamiliar territory. In reality, the helicopter was stylish, had a wide view, and provided a smooth, refreshing flight. The noise disappears when you wear headphones, and everyone, including the pilot, can converse. This also made for a fun time, and I ended up making friends with the couple I flew with. The decision to operate the flight is made based on the weather conditions of the flight route for that day, and in fact, flights after ours were canceled. Naturally, dangerous flights are never conducted.
To be continued.
価格に見合った感動が待っている (分けて報告します)
今回はハワイ島だけに少し長めに滞在することにしました。できるだけノンビリ過ごすのが目的ですが、と言ってもただコンドミニアムに閉じこもっているのも芸がない。何かとっておきのツアーはないか、と探しに探して決めたのがヘリコプター遊覧!これで空からビッグアイランドを一望できる、と心は踊りますが、いくつかの難問がありました。
①料金が高め ②ヘリコプターは危険ではないか ③何もヘリでなくとも車で十分ではないか ④実施が天候に左右される ⑤日本語パイロットのヘリに乗れるか(英語がダメなので) ⑥ツアーのパターンはどれを選べば良いのか ⑦そもそもキラウエアの噴火は大丈夫か 、などなど。これらを何とかクリアして素晴らしい時間を手にした報告です。
①について:ハワイ島の魅力はなんと言っても多彩な自然です。地球は生きていて今も進化し続けていることを実感するにはヘリコプターしかない!と、清水の舞台から飛び降りる気持ちで予約しました(涙) 実際に飛んでみるとそれはもう期待以上でした。他のツアーと比較すると確かに高いです。しかし時間単価ではなくて、「感動単価」で考えると安い!というのが体験しての実感です。ハワイ島では高価な買い物などできませんし、する必要もありません。ですから、最初から旅行費用に組み入れて準備することをお勧めします。もちろんお金持ちの方には言わずもがなです。ぜひ体験して下さい。
②について:何事も危険ゼロは無いですが、ヘリ事故の確率は、レンタカーで慣れない運転にチャレンジするのに比べたら比較にならないくらい低いと思います。実際、機体もかっこよくて、視界も広く、揺れもなく、とても爽快なフライトを楽しめました。騒音はヘッドホンを着けると消えますし、パイロットを含め乗員全員で会話ができます。これも楽しい時間となり、同乗したご夫妻とお友達になってしまいました。運行の可否は、フライト時刻毎にその日の飛行ルートの気象状況を見て決められ、実際に、私たちの次の時間以降のフライトは中止になりました。当たり前ですが危険なフライトは決してしません。

It was absolutely amazing.
The pilot was handsome!
I was able to learn about the magnificence of Kilauea Volcano and the volcanic island of Hawaii.
Also, seeing the waterfalls in the Waikoloa area from the sea was incredible!
We actually landed right under the waterfall, and experiencing its grandeur and the healing it brings was the best. My wife, who accompanied me, was the most moved!
Once we got home, she kept saying she wants to go again!
Thank you very much!
何しろ最高でした。
パイロットはイケメン!
キラウエア火山の凄さや、火山の島『ハワイ島』を知る事が出来ました。
また、海から見るワイコロア地域の滝軍団!
実際に滝の下に着陸していただき下から見る滝の凄さや、癒しを感じる事が出来、最高でした。同伴した、妻が一番感動!
帰宅したら、又行きたいの連続です!
有難うございました!

I casually thought about wanting to do this and signed up, while getting my expectations up by looking at everyone’s reviews. However, when the day came, I got nervous and thought, "I hope I’ll be okay," feeling extremely anxious (laughs).
I had signed up for the morning plan, so I gathered at a nearby hotel before 5 AM. It took about an hour to arrive. When we got there, the sky was beautiful, and I could see a different kind of Hawaiian sky in Honolulu!
From there, we watched a video to learn how to skydive, and then it was just a matter of waiting for our turn... As my name was called and I saw others getting geared up, I enjoyed the thrill of anticipation (laughs). The instructor spoke in simple Japanese, which helped ease my nerves, but when we took off into the sky, I almost felt like I couldn’t do it. When the instructor told me, "We’re only halfway up," I panicked and thought, "Still!?" (laughs).
About eight groups flew up, and I was the last to dive. Watching everyone drop in front of me was shocking. At first, I couldn’t even scream from the impact of the dive, but soon I was shouting! When the parachute opened, the view and the feeling were amazing☆ As I was screaming my head off, the instructor found it amusing and made us spin, which was so much fun (laughs).
The skydive felt like it was over in an instant, but I already wanted to do it again! By the way, make sure to take motion sickness medication! I had taken some, but I felt the most nauseous when we landed on the ground (sweat). Also, tips were given in a box after the jump.
I jumped in late November, and it was a bit chilly, so I went in a short-sleeve shirt and a cardigan. Please keep this in mind!
やりたいな〜と軽く思って申し込み、皆さんの口コミを見て期待度を高めていました。が、いざ当日になると緊張してきて「大丈夫かな」と不安MAX(笑)
当日は午前のプランで申し込んでいたので5時前に近くのホテル集合。1時間ほどで到着しました。到着時、空が綺麗でホノルルの空は違ったハワイの空が見られました!
そこからはビデオを見てスカイダイビングの方法を知り、あとは順番待ち、、、
名前を呼ばれて装備していく周りの方の姿を見ながらドキドキ感を楽しみます(笑)
インストラクターさんは日本語を単語で話ながら緊張を解してくれたので余裕が出てきましたが、空に飛び立つと「飛べないかも」と挫折しそうになりました。「まだ半分の高さだよ」とインストラクターさんに教えて貰った時は「まだ!?」と焦りました(笑)8組ほどで空へ飛び、タイブするのは最後で目の前で次々と落ちて行く姿は衝撃的でした。
ダイブすると初めは衝撃で声も出ませんでしたがすぐに絶叫!!パラシュートが開くと絶景と気持ちよさで最高でした☆絶叫しまくっているとインストラクターさんも面白がり旋回させられめっちゃ楽しかったです(笑)
あっという間のスカイダイビングでしたが、すぐにまたやりたい!と思うほどです。
ちなみに、絶対に酔い止めは飲んでおいてください!薬は飲んでいましたが地上着陸時に1番酔いました(汗)
あとチップは飛んだあとに箱に入れる形式でした。
11月下旬に飛びましたが肌寒く半袖+カーディガンで行きました。是非、参考にしてください!

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see the lava and ocean entry from the sky, but unfortunately, I couldn't see them. Still, I was able to witness the crater and the areas where lava spread after the eruption, feeling the power of nature.
The tour takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes to leisurely circle the island, allowing you to fully enjoy the shape of the island, its terrain, the greenery, and the blue sea. Among the highlights, the Kohala Coast, Waipi'o Valley, and Waimauna Valley were breathtaking and truly moving. I regretted not adding the landing option at the waterfall, as it would have been amazing to land in that valley. Next time I participate, I want to try landing as well.
Here are some tips for those who will be joining the tour soon:
1. There is only one Japanese pilot, so it's better to assume that you will have a foreign pilot even if you request one. (I also made a request and inquired beforehand, but all three helicopters that flew at the same time that day had foreign pilots.)
2. Passengers can ask the pilot questions during the flight, but if you don't speak English, you might feel stressed as you won't be able to ask about things you're curious about or don't understand in the explanations. It’s a good idea to be able to express your requests in English.
3. There is a note advising to wear black clothing for better photos, but I recommend wearing long sleeves and long pants. Skin color on your arms and legs can reflect on the window, making it difficult to take nice pictures.
4. You can purchase a USB data of the video from your helicopter for about $42 (credit card accepted). It includes the music that was playing in the helicopter, which changes according to the scenery, making it very effective. I highly recommend it as it allows you to keep beautiful footage of what you saw.
溶岩やオーシャンエントリーを空から見たいと思いこのツアーを申し込みましたが、残念ながら見ることはできませんでした。それでも、噴火後の火口や溶岩が広がったエリアを目の当たりにし、自然の力を感じることができました。
また、島内を1時間40分ほどかけゆっくりと一周するので、島の形や地形、緑の色、海の青をじっくり満喫することができます。
中でも後半のコハラ海岸やワイピオ渓谷、ワイマヌ渓谷は圧巻で、感動ものでした。あの渓谷の谷に降り立てるのであれば、滝への着陸オプションをつけるべきだったと後悔しました。次回参加する際は、着陸も試みたいと思います。
これから参加される方のためにいくつか情報をお伝えしておきます。
1.日本人パイロットは1名しかいないため、リクエストしても外国人パイロットになることを想定しておいた方がよいです。(私もリクエストし、事前に問い合わせもしていましたが、当日同時に飛んだ3台全て外国人パイロットでした)
2.ヘリの中では乗客がパイロットに質問できますが、英語ができないと、気になったことや解説でわからないことなどを聞けないため、ストレスを感じるかもしれません。見たいもののリクエストなどは英語で言えるようにしておいた方が良いと思います。
3.綺麗に写真を撮るために黒い服を着ていくよう注意書きがありますが、長そで長ズボンにすることをお勧めします。腕や足の肌色が窓に映ってしまい綺麗に撮れません。
4.自身の乗ったヘリの中の様子や見た景色の動画USBデータを$42程度で購入ができます(クレカ使用可)。ヘリ内でかかっていた音楽(見えている景色に合わせて音楽も変えられていて非常に効果的です)と共に自身が見た綺麗な映像が残せるので非常にお薦めです。

There is no other way to see Kauai than from
above. There is so much of the island you can only see from above. I highly recommend doing it. This is our 2nd time here but 1st time seeing it from above. It is totally worth the money. Plus they are the only ones that let my 6 yr old on. After the ride, my wife and I looked at each other and couldn’t believe no other helicopter rides allowed him on it.

I was really glad to have Mr. Mochizuki as my guide. Initially, my goal was to see Kilauea from above, but the views from the mountainside in the latter half were even more amazing than I had imagined. Entering the valley and looking down at the waterfall flowing into the sea from directly above is a sight you can only see from a helicopter. At first, I wondered why it was cheaper from Hilo, but after inquiring, I was convinced by the response that the experience was longer and richer in content, so I went ahead and booked it. In the end, I never felt that the price was too high. If you're hesitating, I think you can feel assured about that. As Mr. Mochizuki mentioned, it was a wonderful experience that I would recommend everyone to try at least once.
望月さんにガイドしてもらえたのが本当に良かったです。
当初はキラウェアを上から見たいと思ったのが目的でしたが、後半の山側が想像以上に素晴らしかったです。
谷の中に入って行ったり、海に流れ落ちる滝を真上から見下ろすのはヘリからでしか見ることのない景色ですね。
はじめはなんでヒロからだと安いのになーと思い、問い合わせをしたところ、内容的にも時間も長く、濃いものになってるとの回答で納得して申し込みました。結果、お値段以上で高いと思うことは無かったです。迷っているならそこは安心して良いと思います。望月さんもおっしゃっていましたが、一度は体験していただきたい素晴らしい体験となりました。

As a commemoration of our honeymoon, we decided to give it a try! Before flying, I was quite timid (wondering why I made the reservation, haha). I was really anxious about the fear of dying or having an accident, but once we actually went, there were many Japanese participants, and the bus driver was fluent in Japanese, which made me feel at ease while diving!
However, since it was my first time overseas, I thought it would have been better to prepare tips in advance and learn more beforehand to avoid any last-minute rush. (It's also written on the voucher, so it's a good idea to read it carefully.)
【Things to Prepare in Advance】
1. Comfortable clothing (jeans, athletic shoes)
2. A copy of your passport
→ It's risky to lose the original.
3. A credit card
→ You need to choose either photo or video fees. Both are also acceptable. I chose the outside camera (where a photographer jumps with you to take pictures), which cost $141 per person.
4. Tips (about $50 per person)
→ The typical tip is around $10 for the driver, $10-$20 for the photographer, and $10-$20 for the instructor.
*Of course, if the service is good, you can give more!
Since my husband and I both jumped, we gave a total of about $100 in cash to each of them.
*The tips for the photographer and instructor were placed in a box at a designated area, so we didn't hand them directly!
Also, for the locker to store your belongings, you need four quarters (25 cents each), but there is a change machine, so if you have a $1 bill, you'll be fine! 😊
ハネムーンに来た記念で、挑戦してみました♪
飛ぶ前は、臆病なので(なんで予約したw)
死ぬ恐怖というか、事故に合わないか不安で仕方なかったんですが、
実際行ってみると、日本人の参加者も多くて、バスの運転手さんが日本語が堪能で、安心してダイビングすることができました♪
ただ、慣れない海外なので、チップを用意したり、事前にもっと知っておけば、バタバタせずに済んだかなーと思う点があったので、まとめます。
(バウチャー(予約票)にも書いてあるので、よく読んでおいた方がいいです)
【事前用意しておくと良いもの】
①動きやすい服装(ジーパン、運動靴)
②パスポートのコピー
→原本は無くすと危ないので。
③クレジットカード
→写真代、ビデオ代でどちらかは選ばないといけないので。両方も可。
私は、アウトサイドカメラ(カメラマンが一緒に飛んで撮ってくれる)だったので、1人当たり141$しました。
④チップ(1人当たり、~50$程)
→チップは、
運転手(10$~)、カメラマン(10~20$)、インストラクター(10~20$)が相場だそうです。
※もちろんサービスが良ければもっと出しても良いと思います!
私は夫婦で飛んだので、合計で100$程キャッシュ(現金)でそれぞれに渡しました。
※カメラマン、インストラクターさんのチップは、投票所のような場所に案内されて箱にいれたので、直接渡すわけではないです!
あと、荷物入れのロッカーですが、
25セント×4枚必要なのですが、両替機もあるので、1$札があれば大丈夫ですよ♪(^^)
