All Reviews for Helicopter & Airplane Tours

I had always thought about trying skydiving, and I finally did my first jump this time. I generally dislike heights and can't handle roller coasters, but when I actually jumped, it felt amazing! The instructors were also very friendly and did a great job of easing my anxiety, allowing me to dive with confidence.

一度はスカイダイビングを、と思っていて今回やっと初ダイブしました。
基本高いところは嫌いでジェットコースターもダメなのですが、実際に飛ぶと最高の気分でした！またインストラクターの人たちもとてもフレンドリーで、上手く不安を解消してくれて安心してダイブできました。

The BEST experience I've had yet. Mom loved it and I totally caught the bug! I'll be back again FOR SURE.

So impressed with the efficiency of this place. I've jumped at a few locations and by far this was the best run. Had a great jump with Brandon, I'd been a few times so we did some flips and he let me pull the cord. Highly recommend, beautiful views of Oahu.

This was on my sixty-seven year old father's bucket list and it made his trip to Hawaii. I highly recommend, even for nervous fliers. Quite serene actually. Thank you Mr. Bill and pilot J.J. for a wonderful trip!

I was able to fully enjoy the skies of Hawaii!! Before I could even think about being scared, I fell from the helicopter, so I wasn't scared at all, haha. The instructor was friendly, and I was very satisfied!

ハワイの空を堪能できました！！
怖いとか思う前にヘリコプターから落ちるので、怖さはまったくなかったです笑
インストラクターの人ともフレンドリーで、大満足です！

The team was funny but pro at the same time. My Tandem master had a different type of humor, but all in all definitely from start to end, it was a very positive experience

We thought this would be a island tour. Yes we wanted to see the volcano that we wanted to see more too. We saw very little other than the volcano.

I had a great time. I experienced skydiving in Guam as well, but Hawaii was definitely more beautiful!

とても楽しかったです。
スカイダイビングはグアムでも経験しましたが、断然ハワイのほうが綺麗でした！

So high!!!! I want to do it again!

高！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！またやりたいです！

It was absolutely amazing! On the way to Pacific Skydiving, there was heavy rain, but it cleared up beautifully, and I was so impressed by my luck!

When we ascended to 4,000 meters in the Cessna, I was nervous, but the instructor helped ease my tension. When it was time to jump, the instructor jumped without giving me a moment to hesitate, which actually made it less scary.

I was so moved that I could hardly express it; it was difficult to open my eyes or breathe, but I desperately tried to keep my eyes open to take in the incredible scenery.

The view was truly beautiful and magnificent, and I felt so touched by it. I really think everyone should try skydiving at least once in their lifetime! I want to do it again!!

とにかく、最高でした！パシフィックスカイダイビングに向かう途中では大雨だったのに、綺麗に晴れて運の良さに感動しました！
セスナに乗って高度4000mまで上がるとき、緊張していたけれどインストラクターの方が緊張をほぐしてくれました。飛び降りる時は、躊躇う隙もなくインストラクターが飛び降りてくれたので逆に怖くなかったです。
言葉に表せないくらい感動して、目を開けるのも息をするのも苦しかったけれど、せっかくの景色を目に焼き付けようと必死に目を開けました。
本当に綺麗で壮大な景色にとても感動しました。
一生に一度はスカイダイビングするべきだと思いました！またやりたいです！！

Your guide was the best. He knew the name of every tree flower and bush. He knew the story behind the water falls and how they feed the water system. It was a fun journey. Unfortunately we could not return on the helicopter because it was too windy and raining. Veltra was quick to give us a refund for the helicopter. This is the way to go if you want to see Hana and all the sights.

We participated as a family of four!
We were picked up from the hotel at 5 AM, and although we were worried about the strong winds until the day before, we were blessed with good weather and headed to the site while watching an explanation video in the van.
We booked a GoPro and a photographer for a 3:1 shoot, and the photographer did an excellent job capturing the moment we jumped out of the Cessna and the plane flying away. The GoPro also took impressive close-up shots.
We were amazed by the breathtaking views of the ocean and mountains in Hawaii!
It was a very satisfying skydiving experience!
We arrived back at the hotel around 10 AM, and since it was Black Friday, we were able to go shopping right away. I highly recommend Hawaii!

家族4人で参加しました！
朝5時にホテルからピックアップをしてもらい、
前日まで風が強くて心配していましたが、天気にも恵まれてワゴン車で説明のビデオを見ながら現地へ。
ゴープロとカメラマンの撮影と3:1での撮影を申し込み、
さすがカメラマンの撮影はセスナから飛び降りる瞬間や飛行機が離れていく姿を的確に撮影してくれました。又ゴープロは近くで迫力ある写真を撮影していただきました。
ハワイの海と山との絶景すぎる絶景に感動しました！
大満足のスカイダイビングでした！
ホテルに10時ごろ到着しました、この日はブラックフライデーのバーゲンで買い物にも早々いけました。ハワイの空おすすめします！

I have always wanted to try skydiving, and during our honeymoon in Hawaii, my husband, who had experienced it before, and I participated in our first skydiving adventure.

On the shuttle bus, we ended up with a group of foreigners, and when we arrived at the site, the instructions were given separately from the Japanese group, which made it hard to understand as everything was in English. I felt anxious and dissatisfied until we jumped.

However, the skydiving experience was amazing! I had a great time flying high with the instructor, and the view was beautiful—absolutely the best! ☆☆☆

Once the parachute opened, I usually don’t get motion sickness, but I thought I might feel a bit dizzy when floating down, so it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand.

以前からスカイダイビングをやりたくて、新婚旅行のハワイで、以前に体験した事のある旦那と私は初のスカイダイビングに参加。
送迎バスでは外人グループのバス？になり、現地に着いての説明も、日本人グループと離れており英語で説明されよくわからないまま飛ぶまでは不安と不満がありましたが、
スカイダイビングは、インストラクターの方とテンション高く楽しく飛べて、景色も綺麗で最高でした☆☆☆
パラシュートを開いてからは、私は酔わないタイプですが、フワッとした時に酔いそうだなと思ったので、酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が良いかもです。

I have lived for nearly 60 years, and this was my first experience; it was wonderful. It didn't feel like falling from the sky, but rather like floating in the air. I felt as if I transcended everything, and my perspective on life might change. I highly recommend it to everyone who hasn't tried it yet. The staff was very kind and attentive to safety, so I had no worries at all.

人生60年近く生きてきましたが初めての体験素晴らしかったです。
空から落ちていると言う感覚ではなくて空に浮かんでいると言う感覚です。
すべてのものを超越して人生観が変わりそうな気がしました。すべてのものを超越して人生観が変わりそうな気がしました
まだ飲んだことのない皆さんには是非是非オススメです。
スタッフもとても親切で安全にも気を配ってくれますので全く心配はいりませんでした。

After the early morning pickup, we filled out some paperwork in the car. We arrived first, and as we listened to the explanation, the sky began to brighten. Once the parachute opened, we had some fun spinning around, but I did feel a bit dizzy. It was an amazing experience to enjoy Hawaii from above. I had to wait quite a while because I purchased photos, but it seems that if you don't buy them, you can return to Waikiki relatively quickly.

朝早くのピックアップ後、車中では書類の記入がありました。一番に到着し、説明を聞いている間に空も明るくなってきました。パラシュートが開いてからは、くるくる回って下さったり楽しませて下さいましたが、少し酔ってしまいました。ハワイを上空から楽しむ事ができ、最高の体験でした。写真を購入したためかなり待ちましたが、購入されない場合は、わりと早い時間にワイキキまで戻れるようです。

I enjoyed it without any particular problems. However, the hotel departure was at 5:30 AM, which was too early for breakfast, and I ended up wasting the hotel meal coupon. I hope you can reconsider the departure time to avoid waste.

Additionally, this tour did not have an option for insurance, and all Japanese travel accident insurance was unavailable. There were other tours that offered insurance as an option, so it would be good to have that available as well.

特に問題なく楽しめました。ただ朝一はホテル出発が5:30と早く、朝食がとれずホテルのミールクーポンが 無断になりました。少し出発をずらせられれば無駄にする事もないので再考を望みます。
また、このツアーは保険加入のオプションがなく、日本の旅行傷害保険も全て加入が不可でした。他のツアーで保険加入がオプションで可能なものもありましたのでオプションで加入が出来る設定があると良いのでは？

I tried it for the first time! Since I came to Hawaii for my honeymoon, I decided to give it a shot. The moment I took off was scary, but that fear quickly turned into excitement (^_^). When I landed back on land, I thought, "I'm glad I did it."

初めてやってみました！
ハネムーン旅行でハワイに来たのだからと思い立って挑戦してみました。
飛ぶ瞬間は怖かったがすぐに恐怖が楽しさに変わります(^_^)
陸まで着地すると「やってよかった」と思いました。

I did it for the first time this time, and it was amazing. The feeling of weightlessness was just a little, but it was a great experience. Since it's early in the morning, I have to be careful not to drink too much the night before, or I'll feel sick. My wife also did it and said she was glad she did.

今回初めてやりましたが最高でした。無重力な気分は少しだけですが、良い体験が出来ました。朝早いので前の日に飲み過ぎないようにしないと気持ち悪くなってしまいます。妻もやりましたがやってよかったと言ってました。

I have always wanted to try skydiving, but it was not affordable in Japan, so I had given up on it. This time, it truly became a wonderful memory! The price was cheaper than in Japan, and above all, it was in Hawaii, with a stunning view of the emerald green sea and mountains. I don't think there is any other skydiving experience with such great conditions! I would love to book it again the next time I go to Hawaii!

By the way, after opening the parachute, you will experience rapid descents and spins about 4 to 5 times before landing. I am not someone who gets easily motion sick (I don't get seasick), but I did feel a bit nauseous during that part, so I don't have great memories of the final video viewing (laughs). I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication beforehand.

以前からスカイダイビングはやってみたいと思っていましたが、日本では気軽にできる値段ではなく諦めていたので今回は本当にいい思い出になりました！値段も日本よりは安く、またなんといってもハワイで、エメラルドグリーンの海、山脈を一望できる、こんな条件のいいスカイダイビングは他にないと思います！！またハワイに行く時には予約したいです！
ちなみにですが、パラシュートを開いてから地上に降り立つのに急降下・急回転を4〜5回繰り返します。私は酔いやすい方（船酔いはしません）ではありませんが、そこで酔ってしまい最後のビデオ鑑賞はいい思い出がありません（笑）酔いやすい方は酔い止めを服用することオススメします。

We participated in the flight at 7 AM on November 16th! We were the only Japanese participants, which made us quite anxious, but the pilot, TOSHI, who appeared was a very cheerful and wonderful Japanese person. With 20 years of experience, he was also very good at communicating. He explained things clearly to the foreign passengers, mixing Japanese and English.

The weather that day was perfect! We could see the lava from Kilauea and the lava from the Ocean Approach clearly. More than that, the breathtaking scenery of Waipi'o Valley, which can only be seen by helicopter, left us speechless. The world’s 13th tallest waterfall was flowing beautifully. According to TOSHI, it had rained the day before, and since it was the first flight of the morning, there was a lot of water flowing. He mentioned that by around noon, the water would hardly be flowing, so I recommend an early flight for those who will participate in the future.

As for the flight itself, there was nothing to complain about, but one disappointing aspect was the hotel pickup. We were scheduled to be picked up at 5:55 AM and waited five minutes early to avoid being late, but the car actually arrived after 6:10 AM. The voucher stated to contact them if the pickup did not arrive after 15 minutes, so when I tried to get the front desk to help, the car arrived just then. It was disappointing to have woken up early for this. The pickup staff did not speak Japanese, so I couldn't voice any complaints.

Meeting TOSHI, who shares the same last name, made for an unforgettable day for us. Thank you!

１１月１６日の朝７時のフライトに２人で参加しました！
日本人の参加者は私たち夫婦だけで、かなり不安でしたが、登場してきたパイロットのTOSHIさんがとーっても明るくて素敵な日本人でした。２０年のベテランでとーってもお話上手。
一緒に搭乗した外人さんにもわかりやすく、日本語と英語を交えて説明してくれました。

この日の天候は最高！キラウエアの溶岩も、オーシャンアプローチの溶岩もしっかり見えました。それよりもワイピオ渓谷では、ヘリコプターでしか見れない壮大な景観、言葉が出ないぐらい感動してしまいました。世界で１３番目に高い滝は、しっかり水が落ちていました。TOSHIさんの話では、前日に雨が降り、朝１番でのフライトだからたくさん水が落ちている、とのこと。昼ぐらいには水はほとんど落ちないでしょう、ということなので、これから参加する方は早い時間のフライトをお勧めします。

フライトに関しては、何の申し分もないぐらいですが、１つ残念だったのが、ホテルの送迎に関して。
５時５５分のお迎え予定で、遅れないようにと５分前には待っていましたが、実際に車が来たのは６時１０分過ぎ。１５分過ぎて迎えが来ない場合は連絡をください、とバウチャーに書いてあったので、連絡しようとフロントに動いてもらったら、車が来るというタイミング。頑張って朝早く起きたことを残念に思ったスタートでした。お迎えのスタッフは日本語ができない人たちなので、文句は何も言えませんでした。

同じ苗字のTOSHIさんとの出会いは、私達夫婦にとって、忘れられない１日になりました。
ありがとうございました！

Hi - Had an informative pilot who took us over the craters - and were able to see the lava entering the sea - best way to see it! I've been told on the walk in you are not able to the lava very well and are not able to get close. An exciting thing to do for your holiday and great viewing to see it all from the air! Glad we did!

I have wanted to try skydiving for a long time, and I signed up for it during this trip as part of my sightseeing. To put it simply, I think you can do skydiving in various places, but the experience of free-falling for about a minute while enjoying the wonderful views of the North Shore, followed by a leisurely parachute descent for about 3 to 4 minutes, is something you can't get anywhere else. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

以前からスカイダイビングをしてみたくて、今回の旅行で観光のついでに申し込みました。結果から言うと、いろいろなところでスカイダイビングはできると思いますが、ノースショアの素晴らしい景色を楽しみながら、1分程度のフリーフォールと、そのあと3〜4分くらいのゆったりパラシュートで降りてくる体験は、ほかでは得がたいものだと思いました。本当に素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました。

I had done it once in Japan, but skydiving in Hawaii was incredibly beautiful by comparison. It was the best. The instructor was very energetic and it was so much fun. When I did it in Japan, the instructor was relatively quiet, and it felt a bit awkward after the parachute opened... (laughs)
The emotions from that experience can only be understood by those who have jumped! Thank you for such a wonderful memory.

日本で１度やったことがありましたが、ハワイでのスカイダイビングは比べ物にならないくらい綺麗でした。最高でした。そしてインストラクターさんがテンション高くてとっても楽しかったです。日本でやったときは割と無口な方で、パラシュートが開いてから少し気まずかったので…(笑)
本当にあの感動は飛んだ人にしか分かりません！
とっても楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

This was a simply breathtaking afternoon. Oahu is extremely varied, with cliffs, valleys and beaches, alternating between shades of blue, green, white and red. You don't really notice it from the ground, but seeing it all from high above has given me a new appreciation for the island. Our pilot made us feel safe and secure the entire time, and the chance to do an exciting landing along a narrow ridge at the top of Ka'a'awa Valley only made the experience that much more incredible.

Great experience overall, from the ground crew to the flight. This is definitely thee best way to see the island and the best option if you are staying on the West Side of the island / Ko Olina resorts.

The pilot is very experienced, polite and knowledgeable. The flight was very exciting and gave us an amazing sights of the island. Even if you don't get a window seat you still get a great view. The aircraft have a two way communication between the pilot and the guest, so while he is talking storied about the location you can ask questions and he will answer.
Oahu is just an wonderful place, we saw Hanauma Bay; Diamond Head; Waikiki beach; Pearl Harbor; the unique Kaneohe bay and the sandbar; the mountains at Kualoa Ranch are mesmerizing, makes you feel like you are at Jurassic Park; the famous beaches on the North Shore, Kaena Point and the beautiful West Coast.
If you have the chance add the land on top of Kualoa Ranch mountains, the pilot surprised us with champagne, drinks and chocolate covered strawberries. Very romantic addition to the tour.
It's a long flight, make sure to bring a bottle of water and got to the bathroom before the flight.

I would recommend Paradise Helicopters to everybody!

I have a fear of heights, but it was one of the things I wanted to do before I die, so I challenged myself.

As a result...

I'm glad I did it!

I talked with my buddy, and it felt more like floating than falling. It was a really great experience!

私は高所恐怖症です
けど死ぬまでにやっておきたいことの一つだったので
挑戦しました

結果、、。

やってよかったです！

バディの方とも話しましたが、落るというより浮くって感じです
経験としてはとってもいい経験ができました

I've always wanted to go skydiving, and I finally got to experience it on this honeymoon! The locals were all kind and fun! The view of Hawaii from the sky was amazing and will be a lifelong memory! I want to do it again! (*´∇｀*)

ずっとスカイダイビングをしたくて、今回の新婚旅行を機に初体験！
現地の方々も親切で楽しい方ばかりでした！
空からのハワイの景色も最高で一生の思い出になりました！
またしたいです(*´∇｀*)

The moment I fell from the Cessna was scary, but looking around, the scenery was amazing and moving...!!! I had asked to take photos, but I was so nervous that I couldn't focus on how I looked, which I regret (laughs). I want to challenge myself again. At first, I thought the tip for the instructors was a bit high, but after seeing the instructors in action, I realized they put their lives on the line for this job. Thinking about that made me understand why tipping was justified.

セスナから落ちる瞬間は怖かったですが、周りを見ると素晴らしい景色で感動的でした…！！！
撮影をお願いしていましたが、緊張して映りを意識できなかったのが心残り（笑）もう一度チャレンジしたくなりました。
インストラクターの方へのチップも最初は高いかな？と思っていましたが、実際にインストラクターの方々を見て、命を張ってこのお仕事をされているのだと感じました。そう思うとチップを払うことにも納得できました。

We were a group of three with 2 of us never before in a heli.
Thanks to a gr8 pilot we experienced an adventure we will never forget.
Spectacular views and the heat of streaming lava.
If you can afford it do it, we will come back that's for sure.

Max

I jumped with Butter, and he was so awesome! He joked with me and made me feel comfortable and safe the whole time. I wanted to do it over and over again!! He had such a great personality, so did all the other guys too.
Patrick was my photographer. He did an incredible job. I literally love every single picture! He was definitely worth the money!!
Thanks again for making my first jump so perfect! I'll be coming back!!!
