All Reviews for Helicopter & Airplane Tours

I was forced to go skydiving by my husband, but it was absolutely amazing! ^_^
Before jumping, I was scared and frozen, but once I jumped, it felt incredible to be flying in the sky!
Until the parachute opened, I was struggling to breathe and felt overwhelmed, but the moment the parachute opened, I was able to see the scenery clearly and was moved!
A female instructor jumped with me, so I wasn't spun around and she let me hold the control lines, allowing me to steer right and left. ^ ^
I couldn't speak English well, so I wasn't able to express my thanks or have a good conversation, but I had so much fun!
I want to experience that view and thrill again!

主人に無理やり連れられて来たスカイダイビングでしたが、とっても最高でした！^_^
飛ぶ前までは怖くて固まっていましたが、飛んでしまえばもう空を飛んでいる気分ですごく良かったです！
パラシュートが開くまでは、息がしにくくて余裕がなかったのですが、パラシュートが開いた瞬間から景色がしっかり見れて感動しました！
女性の方が一緒に飛んでくれたので、グルグル回されず、一緒に操作する紐を持たしてくれて、右〜左〜と運転させてくれました^ ^
英語が喋れないのでうまくお礼やお話ができなかったけどとっても楽しかったです！
またあの景色とスリルを味わいにいきたいです！

Many people probably want to try it at least once, right? I was one of them, but I didn't have the opportunity until now, and I finally got to experience it.

While on the shuttle bus, we watched an explanatory video and filled out a questionnaire that was handed to us.

After a little over an hour from Waikiki, we arrived at a small airport. After confirming our identities, we received a brief lecture and met our instructor.

Since it was Golden Week, there were many Japanese people there. My instructor could speak a little Japanese, and I had a lot of fun flying. The only time I felt scared was when the airplane door opened in mid-air; after that, I just went with the flow.

When it was my turn to jump, I felt a moment of "Oh no!" but then I enjoyed the pressure of the wind and the view like never before.

Some instructors seem to spin around after the parachute opens, and my cousin, who jumped with me, felt a bit groggy after landing.

If you can speak English, I think it's better to say in advance, "Please don't spin."

As for clothing, I recommend wearing a long-sleeve shirt since it can be a bit cold up there. Since the wind pressure is strong, it's best to avoid anything that flaps around, like hoodie strings.

There was a food truck available, but we brought rice balls with us. Since the time spent is long, I think it's a good idea to bring some drinks and snacks.

Photo and video services are expensive, but it might be worth signing up since it's a special occasion. They seemed to take pictures together if you were in a group of two or three. I didn't sign up, but someone I got friendly with there did, and they sent me the video later, where I appeared a little, and it became a great memory.

一度は、やってみたいと思ってる人も多いんじゃないでしょうか？
私も その一人でしたが、なかなか機会がなく やっと今回体験することができました。

迎えのバスの中で 説明ビデオを観ながら、渡された質問事項などを書いた紙に記入します。

ワイキキから一時間ちょっとで、小さな飛行場に到着。
現地で本人確認をしてから、簡単なレクチャーを受けて、自分のインストラクターさんと対面。

GWということもあって日本人も多かったです。
私のインストラクターさんは、少し日本語も話せるし、とても楽しく飛ぶことができました。
恐怖を感じたのは、上空で飛行機の扉を開いた時だけで、あとは 野となれ山となれです(;^_^A

自分の飛ぶ順番が来たら、一瞬『あらあらあらぁ～』っとなりますが、すぐに感じた事のない風圧と景色を楽しめます。

インストラクターによっては、パラシュートが開いた後、くるくる回る人もいるようで、一緒に飛んだ従妹は 地上に降りてから、しばらくグロッキーでした。

英語が話せるなら『くるくるは、やめてください』と先に言っといた方がいいと思います。

服装は、上空にいる時 少し寒いのでロンTが、お勧めです。
風圧が すごいので、パーカーの紐など、パタパタする物は避けた方がいいと思います。

食事は、移動販売のバスがありましたが、私たちは おむすびを持って行きました。
時間が 長いので、飲み物や食べ物など少し持参した方がいいと思います。

写真撮影や、ビデオ撮影は高額ですが、せっかくなので申し込んだ方がいいかも知れません。
2人とか3人なら一緒に撮ってくれる感じでした。
私は申し込みませんでしたが、現地で仲良くなった人が申し込んでて、後から動画を送ってくれたんですが、少し写ってて、とてもいい記念になりました。

Great staff. Knowledgeable pilot. Great background music during the flight :)
The views were great, despite the overcast conditions.
Now I want to go back and dive at all those reefs I saw and hike up to those waterfalls.
I never realized just how small Pearl Harbor was until I saw it from the air with my own eyes.
This is something a visitor should do at least once.
If I did it again, I wouldn’t bother taking my own pictures and videos (they take video for you) and just enjoy the view.

I experienced skydiving for the first time in my life! Until the parachute opened, I was struggling to breathe, and the instructor encouraged me to pose, but I ended up with a pretty miserable face and pose. (laughs) After the parachute opened, I was able to leisurely take in the view of the Hawaiian sea, and it felt amazing! The instructor was very enthusiastic, which made it enjoyable!

He couldn't speak Japanese, so he taught me the posture for jumping through atmosphere, body language, and a few Japanese words. (laughs) Also, during the check-in, I had to choose between photos or videos for the diving shoot, but the staff on-site couldn't speak any Japanese and spoke very fast native English, so I had to ask several times to understand. I wished there had been staff who could communicate in Japanese or at least provide Japanese signage. Since it was quite an expense, I wanted to know more details about that.

Additionally, the waiting time was long, which was a bit disappointing, but overall, it became a really great memory. Thank you!

生まれて初めてスカイダイビングを経験しました！
パラシュートを開くまで呼吸がうまくできない中、インストラクターの方がポーズをとるよう促してくれたのですが、もう悲惨な顔とポーズでした。笑
パラシュートを開いてからはのんびりハワイの海などを一望でき、気分は最高でした！インストラクターはノリノリの方だったので、楽しむことができました！
その方は日本語を話せないので、飛ぶ時の姿勢などを雰囲気とボディーランゲージと日本語の単語で教えてもらいました。笑
あと受付時に、ダイビング中の撮影方法として、写真かムービーかを選ぶのですが、スタッフが現地の方で日本語が全く話せず、ネイティブのとても速い英語を話すので、理解出来ず何回か質問しないといけなくて、日本語対応のスタッフ、もしくは日本語表記をするなど、してほしかったかなとも思いました。
金額もある程度したので、そこは細かく知りたかったです。
また、待ち時間が長かったので、ちょっと残念でしたが、総合的にはかなりいい思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました！

I experienced skydiving this time. I chose it because I wanted to do something that I can't do in Japan. On the day of the jump, I took a bus for about an hour from Waikiki to the skydiving site. I received explanations about the diving position and breathing techniques during the fall, and then flew with a foreign instructor to an altitude of 4,500 meters. I was quite scared before the jump, but the speed during the fall, reaching up to 50 meters per second, was incredibly exhilarating.

I also had an outdoor cameraman jump with me and purchased the video.

When I go to Hawaii again, I want to do it once more.

今回スカイダイビングを体験しました。
ハワイでは日本では出来ない事がしたいと考え選びました。
当日ワイキキからバス1時間程かけてスカイダイビング場へ到着。 ダイビング状態のフォーム、落下時の呼吸方法などの説明を受け、外国人のインストラクターと飛行機で高さ4500mまで。
落下前はかなり怖かったのですが、落下時のスピード最大秒速50mはすごく興奮しました。

アウトカメラマンも一緒に飛んでもらって動画を購入しました。

またハワイに行った時はもう一度やりたい、と思いました。

Jumping out of the airplane takes courage, but once you're flying, you can leave it to the instructor, and you can enjoy the magnificent scenery at a leisurely pace.

Thank you! I want to fly again!

飛行機から飛び出す時は勇気がいりますが
飛んでしまえば後はインストラクタ－さん任せなので
ゆっくり雄大な景色を見る事ができました。

ありがとう！　また飛んでみたいです。

Unfortunately, the cloudy sky caused the altitude to be changed from 14,000 feet to 8,000 feet, but I still had a great time. Above the clouds, the sun was dazzling, and it was an indescribably amazing experience from the moment I jumped out of the plane until the parachute opened!

生憎の曇り空で14000フィートが8000フィートに変更、それでも充分楽しめた。雲の上は太陽が眩しくて、飛行機から飛び出してからパラシュートが開くまで言葉にできないほど最高の体験でした！

It was incredibly scary, but also incredibly fun. The signature was so realistic that it freaked me out. The moments before and after the drop were the most thrilling, but as I fell, it felt like I was hitting a giant fan. Once the parachute opened, I could see the scenery clearly. If you're prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking some anti-nausea medication beforehand. I usually don't get sick, but I took some just in case. My thighs hurt, but it was worth it to see the breathtaking views! All my worries disappeared, haha!

最高に怖かったけど、最高に楽しかったです。
署名がリアルすぎてビビりました。
落ちる前と落ちた後が1番ドキドキしたけど、落下していくうちに大きな扇風機に当たってるみたいでした。
パラシュートが開くと景色がよく見れました。グルグル回されて酔いやすい人は酔い止め飲んでいくといいと思います。私は酔いにくいけど、酔い止め飲んでいきました。股が痛かったけど、絶景を見れるので我慢です！悩み事がなくなります笑笑

Awesome staff and views! We were up in the air quickly and enjoyed a relaxing ride

Overall, I think this offers great value for money!
The fun might depend on the instructor.
My instructor didn't understand Japanese at all.
I was imagining a roller coaster, but it was different!
Until the parachute opened, the oxygen was thin, but I experienced a sensation that I can't get anywhere else.
Once the parachute opened, I was able to enjoy the scenery slowly.
My friend got dizzy from spinning around during this time.
Please be careful, everyone.
Since we boarded a small plane in groups, the waiting time was very long.
The waiting area was outdoors, and there was a simple kiosk selling snacks like sandwiches and bread.
I recommend experiencing this at least once in your life.
Especially in Hawaii, where the scenery is beautiful and it's reasonably priced, I highly recommend it.

総合的にここがコスパ良くできると思います！
楽しさはインストラクターの方によるかな？
私の人は日本語が全くわからない人でした
ジェットコースターを想像していたのですが違いました！
パラシュートが開くまでは酸素は薄いですがなかなか体験できない感覚を味わえました
パラシュートが開いてからはゆっくりで景色をゆっくり楽しむことができました
友達はこの時にくるくる回され体調を崩していました
皆さんもお気を付け下さい
数人ずつ小さな飛行機に乗るので待ち時間はとても長かったです
待つ所は屋外でよくあるワゴンの簡易の売り場でサンドイッチやパンなどの軽食がありました
人生に一度は体験しておく事をおすすめします
特にハワイでは景色が綺麗でリーズナブルにできるのでおすすめです

You can dive with an instructor, which provides a sense of security. The temperature at high altitude is quite low, and I personally felt my excitement cool down. I was advised to wear light clothing, but I found that difficult. If you opt for video recording, a separate person will dive with you and give you poses and gestures from nearby. You can check the video later, and they will provide you with a USB containing photos and videos. The video is a few minutes long, but I think it was well edited and had a good background music track. After the dive, there is a separate post from the instructor where you can leave your feedback and tips.

インストラクターと一緒にダイブしますので安心感はあります。さすがに上空は気温が低く興奮の熱も冷めるぐらいに自分は感じました。薄着をススメられましたが、個人的には無理でした。動画撮影もセットにすると撮影する人が別にダイブし近くでポーズなどジェスチャーで指示してくれます。後で動画をチェック出来ますし、USBに写真と動画を入れて渡してくれます。動画は数分ですが上手く編集されてノリの良いBGM付きで良かったと思えます。
またダイブ後にインストラクター別のポストがあり感想やチップを入れる所があります。

Had a beautiful helicopter tour through volcanoes and waterfalls, but it almost didn't happen because Veltra didn't give the right information to the company, resulting in us showing up at the airport and discovering our reservation didn't exist.

Blue Hawaii helicopter tour was Awesome! Brodie, our pilot was friendly and very knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to catch a break in the weather and see some sights which had no been accessible for 48hrs. I felt so lucky! A great flight is always subject to the weather. Would definitely fly with them again!!

This was my second time skydiving, and the weather was great, making it a fun experience. It was a bit more intense than last time with all the spinning, but it was interesting! It was a shame that I had someone who didn't understand Japanese at all, so communication was quite difficult.

今回で２回目のスカイダイビング、天候にも恵まれ楽しくおわれました。前回よりぐるぐる回されたりハードではありましたが･･･おもしろかった！日本語が全然通じない方がついたのでコミニュケーションがなかなか取りづらかったのが残念でした。

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Worth every penny. Will do again!!!

This was my second time, and I was fortunate with the weather, allowing me to jump safely. I was spun around more intensely than the first time, almost to the point of feeling sick, but I managed (sweat). Skydiving is quite profound. I'm not sure if there will be a third time, but there's no other activity as exciting as this (laughs). I definitely recommend it!

今回で２度目でしたが、天気にも恵まれ無事飛ぶことが出来ました。１回目よりもぐるぐる激しく回されて気持ち悪くなる１歩手前だったけど、どうにかもちました（汗）スカイダイビング、奥が深いです。３度目があるかどうかまだわかりませんがこんなにエキサイティングな遊び？は他にないです（笑）ぜひ、おすすめします！

I participated alone, but I had a great time! ☆

We went up, up, up in the Cessna...
I got a bit scared at the height, which was beyond my imagination. Haha.
Watching everyone completely panic as we flew (or fell) was quite something.
When it was my turn to jump, it felt so high that I couldn't really grasp it; it was like time had stopped.
This is a rare experience that you don't get to have often, so it was precious!
The tandem instructor was super enthusiastic and made it really fun! ^^

After the parachute opened, we started to spin, so if you have a weak vestibular system, you'll definitely feel nauseous.
I had already experienced this with parasailing, so I took motion sickness medication, but I still felt a bit queasy.
So definitely make sure to take motion sickness medication!

一人参加でしたが、十分楽しめました☆

セスナで上がって上がって上がって...
想像以上の高さに途中で怯みました。笑
容赦なく飛んでいく（堕ちていく）のをみて
みなさん完全にプチパニックでした。
いざ自分が飛んでみると、高すぎて実感がわかないというか
時間が止まったような感覚になりました。
こんな体験なかなかできないので貴重でした！
タンデムのお兄さん、めちゃくちゃノリノリで楽しかったです＾＾

パラシュートが開いてから、旋回するので
三半規管が弱い人は１００％グロッキーになります。
私はパラセーリングで経験済みなので、酔い止めを飲みましたが
それでもちょっと気持ち悪くなったので
酔い止めはかならず飲みましょう～！

Skydiving was something I had always wanted to try at least once in my life. I'm glad I was able to experience it in Hawaii. The waiting time was shorter than I expected, which was nice. When it was time to jump, it happened so quickly that I didn't have time to feel nervous or scared. Once I was in the air, I was just amazed by the beautiful scenery. It ended in no time, but it was a lot of fun and a great experience.

What I liked was that my instructor was great, and even though I jumped early on, I was one of the last to land, which allowed me to take my time and enjoy the various views.

As advice, it gets quite cold until you reach altitude and until you come out from under the clouds after descending. I think it would be better to wear a long-sleeve T-shirt or something similar.

人生で一度はやってみたかったスカイダイビング。ハワイで経験できてよかったです。待ち時間も思っていたより短くて良かったです。いざ飛ぶ時はあっという間すぎて、緊張とか怖いとか思う暇もなかったです。飛んでからはとにかく綺麗な景色に感動するのみでした。あっという間に終わってしまいましたがとても楽しくていい経験になりました。
気に入ったところは、インストラクターのあたりが良かったのか最初の方に飛び降りたのに陸に着くのは１番最後くらいで、いろんな景色をゆっくり見ることができたこと。
アドバイスとしては、上空に向かうまでと、降りてから雲の下に出るまで結構寒いです。長袖のＴシャツとかを着て行った方がいいなと思いました

I participated in my first helicopter tour in Maui. I was worried about the cloudy weather since the day before, but in the evening I received a call suggesting that it would be better to delay the start time due to the weather, which I agreed to. On the day of the flight, the coastal area was indeed cloudy with occasional sunny spells, while the mountains were covered in misty clouds with light rain at times. After checking in, the pilot suggested changing the course to fly along the coast towards Molokai instead of Haleakalā, considering the weather, and everyone agreed. We were able to enjoy the beautiful sea and cliff views while flying on a route that was less affected by the weather. As we entered the mountainous area and gained altitude, it started to drizzle, which was a bit disappointing. I wondered how beautiful the scenery would have been if it had been sunny. That said, the pilot's guidance and jokes were enjoyable, and the dynamic and precise skilled flying was exciting. I think those who are prone to motion sickness should take some medication. I definitely want to fly again on a clear day next time, Mahalo♡!

マウイで初めてのヘリコプター遊覧飛行に参加。前日から曇りで心配していると、夕方携帯に電話があり、スタート時間を遅らせた方が天候が望ましいと提案あり了解。当日は、やはり海側は、曇り時々晴れ間で、山は霧のような雲がかかり、たまに小雨な感じ。チェックイン後、パイロットから天候を考えて ハレアカラはやめて、モロカイ島の方へ海側を飛びマウイ半周して戻るコースへの変更の提案があり、全員でOK。なるべく天候の影響を受けないコースで飛んでくれてとても美しい海と絶壁の景色を堪能できました。山側に入り高度を上げると小雨となり少し残念でした。晴れていたらどんなに美しい景色だったでしょう。そうは言え、パイロットさんの案内もジョークも楽しく、またダイナミックかつ正確な熟練の操縦もエキサイティングでした。乗り物酔いする人は酔い止めを飲んだ方が良いと思いました。次回また快晴の時に是非フライトしたいです、Mahalo♡！

I've always wanted to try skydiving. Since it had been 20 years since my last visit to Hawaii, I was looking forward to it for six months. On the day of the experience, the instructions were only in English, which was honestly difficult for me since I only speak Japanese, but the instructor's careful gestures helped me grasp the essential points. I definitely want to try skydiving again on my next trip.

ずっと体験してみたかったスカイダイビング。
20年ぶりのハワイということもあり、半年前から楽しみでした。
体験当日は、説明は英語のみで、日本語しか話せない自分にとっては正直分かりませんでしたが、インストラクターの方の丁寧なジェスチャーで最低限の要点はおさえることがでました。
次回の旅行も、スカイダイビングを絶対やりたいと思います。

Due to bad weather, we had to change the date to the next day and ended up jumping from a lower altitude than planned, but despite that, it became a fun and great memory! The driver who guided us was funny and a nice person, and the instructor who jumped with us was also very energetic and enjoyable!

悪天候で日にちを次の日へ変更したり、高さが予定よりも低い位置から飛ぶことになってしまいましたが、それを踏まえても楽しい良い思い出になりました！
案内してくれるドライバーさんも面白くて良い人でしたし一緒に飛んでくれたインストラクターの方もテンション高めの楽しい人でした！

1st time in a helicopter. 1 more bucket list item checked off. The views were spectacular and we were very fortunate to have the weather & Mother Nature in general on our side that day. Our captain/pilot was great and very knowledgeable. He encouraged us to ask questions & answered them very well. I personally think the whole experience was worth every penny but then again, we were a party of 2. Either way, I would highly recommend Bule Hawaiian and this flight package in particular. Got to see everything they advertised. Aloha!

I participated with my wife and our 5-year-old child, making a total of three of us! Our child sat in the middle of the front row, my wife on the right, and I sat behind them. Due to the balance, it seems that changing seats is difficult.

On the day of the event, we went directly to the site by rental car since we were staying in the Ko Olina area. Shuttle service is only available from Honolulu, so if you're coming from other areas, you'll need to use a taxi or rental car.

I was worried that our child might be scared, but since we were in the middle seat, there were no issues. It was indeed very cold during the flight, so measures are necessary. We brought ultra-light down jackets, but my wife still looked cold.

As long as your camera has a strap, it’s fine! The staff lent us a mobile holder for free, but it’s the type that goes in a waterproof bag, which distorts the images from your mobile camera. If possible, I recommend purchasing a wrist strap in advance.

Perhaps because we booked through VERTRA, a brother who speaks fluent Japanese was our pilot! It was a lot of fun, and my wife and child, who don’t speak English, also enjoyed it! I heard that my wife is Japanese!

The staff were very friendly, and we had a great time throughout. The view from the helicopter was truly spectacular, and it was definitely the right choice to go without doors!

One thing, though... my wife gets motion sickness and ended up feeling ill during the flight, which caused a lot of trouble for the staff. I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness do some research and take precautions before flying. Also, the wind is very strong and cold, so please make sure to prepare for that!

Despite the above, it’s an incredibly moving experience that is worth taking!

5歳の子供と妻と計3人で参加致しました！！
前の席の真ん中に子供、右側に妻後ろに私が座る形となりました。バランスの関係で座席変更は難しいみたいです。

当日はコオリナ地区に宿泊していた為レンタカーにて直接現地入りしました。送迎はホノルルからしかない為、他の地区からはタクシーやレンタカーでの移動となります。

当日は子供が怖がらないか心配でしたが真ん中席だった為問題なし、フライト中はやはり非常に寒い為対策が必要です。我々はウルトラライトダウンを持参しましたが妻はそれでも寒そうでした。

カメラはストラップが付いていればOK！携帯用のホルダーはタダでスタッフの方々が貸してくれましたが水中でも使えるようなビニールに入れるタイプなのでせっかくの携帯カメラの画像が歪んでしまいます。可能なら事前に手首につかれるハンドストラップを購入をお勧めします。

こちらのVERTRAからの予約だったからか日本語ペラペラのお兄さんがパイロットを担当してくれました！
とても楽しく、英語が話せない妻と子供も楽しめました！！奥さんが日本人なんだとか！

スタッフの方々は非常にフレンドリーで終始楽しい時間を過ごせました。ヘリコプターからの景色は本当に絶景でやはりこちらのドアなしで正解でした！！

一つだけ、、、妻が乗り物に弱く、途中酔ってしまいスタッフの皆さんに大変ご迷惑をおかけしました、、、。乗り物に弱い方は少し検証、対策をしてからのフライトをお勧めします。また風は非常に強く寒いのでこちらの対策をしっかりして下さい！！

上記の事があっても乗る価値のある非常に感動の体験です！！

I had wanted to go skydiving for a long time, but I never had the chance until this trip to Hawaii, which I was looking forward to the most.

On this day, I boarded the first Cessna and went diving. I didn't feel scared at all (though it may vary from person to person). While ascending, I looked for whales in the ocean (they can sometimes be seen from December to April). As the Cessna slowed down and I felt a gentle floating sensation, the instructor pushed me out of the plane, making the exit feel natural and pleasant.

Once outside, I experienced an incredible feeling unlike anything I had ever felt before.

The only downside was that the wind was strong that day, and we didn't reach our target altitude. Of course, I didn't realize this until I was refunded, which was a bit disappointing.

If I have the opportunity to go skydiving again in the future, I would love to do it as many times as possible, and I hope that one day I can jump on my own.

　前々からスカイダイビングしたいとは思っていたものの中々できるチャンスがなく、今回のハワイ旅行ではこれを一番楽しみにしていました。
　この日1地番初めのセスナに乗りダイビングしました、一切怖いという感じはせず（人それぞれでしょうが）上昇中は海中にクジラを探し（12月から4月までは見れることもあるそうです）セスナのスピードが緩みふわっとした感じの中インストラクターに背中を押されて機外に出るので出るときも自然な感じで気持ちよかったです。
　外に出た後はただただ、今までに経験したことのない気持ちいい体験をすることができました。

　ただ残念なのは当日風が強く目標の高度に到達しませんでした。
もちろんそんなことは自分で気づくはずもなく、返金されて初めて気づいたのですがちょっとがっかり。

　これから先もスカイダイビングできる機会があれば何度でもしたいし、いつか自分で飛べる日が来たらいいなと思いました。

Jumping out of a Cessna from an altitude of about 4,200 meters and experiencing free fall is simply incredible! The sensation of falling at 200 km/h is amazing! When I landed on the ground, I couldn't help but shout, "Awesome!"

４２００ｍほどの高度からセスナを飛び出し、一気にフリーフォール！時速２００ｋｍの体感はすごいの一言に尽きる！地上に降りたときには「最高！」と叫びます。

For my first flight in a helicopter, wasn't sure what to expect... but wow what a smooth & quiet aircraft the Eco-Star is! The crew at Blue Hawaiian were courteous & professional and our Pilot Patrick was great - who was always checking to make sure everyone was comfortable during the trip and had ample opportunity to see & photograph each viewing site.

I parked the rental car at Hilo Airport and took a helicopter from there. The weather was decent, and I could see the coastline well from above. The eruption of Kilauea volcano has calmed down, and I couldn't observe any lava flows. I could see some smoke and part of the crater was glowing red. I imagine that during periods of active volcanic activity, it must have been quite impressive. From above, I could clearly understand the history of eruptions on the Big Island through the spread of lava and the distribution of vegetation. It was about a 45-minute tour, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I would like to experience it again during a time of active eruptions.

レンタカーをヒロ空港にとめて、ヒロ空港からヘリに乗りました。天候もまずまずで、上空から海岸線の様子が良く見えました。キラウエア火山の噴火は収まっている状態で、溶岩流などは、観察できませんでした。噴煙と、火口が一部赤くなっているのが見えました。火山活動が活発な時期は、かなりの迫力があっただろうと思われます。上空から見ると、溶岩の広がりと、植物の分布から、ハワイ島の長年の噴火の歴史のようなものが良くわかりました。約45分の遊覧でしたが、十分楽しめました。噴火活動が活発な時期にもう一度経験してみたいと思います。

AWESOME!! Have never been in a helicopter and it was spectacular!!!

The event was canceled due to rain on the day. I was asked if I could come on another day, but since I was returning home the next day, I couldn't participate... It's better to make reservations with some flexibility in the dates! If I have another opportunity to go, I will definitely try again!

当日の雨で不催行となってしまいました。
他の日来れるかと聞かれましたが、翌日には帰国だった為体験出来ず、、、
日にちには余裕をもって予約した方がいいです！
また行く機会があれば、今度こそ！！

I signed up for skydiving on a whim. Since we gathered at 4:50 AM, I wasn't too scared due to my sleepiness. Haha. Also, the moment we jumped, we were pushed out quite forcefully, so there wasn't really time to be scared, which was nice. It was a strange feeling without the typical stomach drop you get on roller coasters. People who have never jumped ask me if it was scary, but the only scary part was right before the jump. For those who are considering skydiving, I recommend just signing up without overthinking it!

ノリでスカイダイビングに応募しました。
朝4時50分集合だったため、眠気のお陰で
そこまで怖さはありませんでした。笑
そして飛ぶ瞬間も割とぐいぐい押されるので怖がっているヒマはなかったのもよかったです。
ジェットコースター特有の胃が浮く感じもなく、不思議な感覚でした。
飛んだことない人からは怖かったでしょ？と聞かれますが、怖かったのは飛ぶ直前だけです。
スカイダイビングしようか迷ってる方はとりあえず何も考えず勢いで申し込むことをおすすめします。
