All Reviews for Helicopter & Airplane Tours

Skydiving was my first experience, and it was amazing!! I was able to do it without any anxiety because I was with an instructor! I felt a little nervous while waiting for my turn to jump, but once I was out, that feeling disappeared! It was a valuable experience to see the mountains and the beautiful ocean of Hawaii from the sky!

スカイダイビングは初体験でしまが、すごくよかったです！！インストラクターの方と一緒なので不安もなく出来ました！飛び出す順番を待っている時は少しドキドキしましたが、出てしまうとそれも無くなりました！空から山やハワイの綺麗な海が見れて貴重な体験になりました！

I took a friend from Japan to Mr. Bill's
He had a great time and wants to come back next trip to learn how to fly!

Great ride! Competent pilot. Great tour highly reccomended. Just do it! It's worth the mony! Great

There are a lot of good-looking guys, even from a man's perspective. The local divers jump multiple times a day, so they handle the tasks easily (laughs). After being called, I watched a DVD for about 30 minutes, then met up with the tandem instructor, and in just about 10 minutes, we were ready to go (laughs). It was super quick! It felt like we were suddenly at 10,000 feet, which is about 4,000 meters in Japan, and we flew up in no time (laughs). But the view was amazing—the weather was great too! The tandem instructor was incredibly skilled, and the cameraman did some wild and dangerous things with ease (laughs). I definitely want to jump again! It's different from roller coasters or bungee jumping; since it's so high that you can't see the ground, you're just stepping out of the Cessna.

男から見てもイケメンだらけ
現地のダイバーは１日何回も飛ぶ為、簡単に作業していく(笑)
呼ばれてから30分ぐらいDVDみたら、タンデムの先生と合流したら、ものの10分ぐらいでレッツゴー(笑)
めっちゃ早い！そりゃーなるよーになれーみたいや(笑)いっきに10000フィート、日本で言う4000mかな？あっという間に飛んでいく(笑)
でも眺めは最高ー天気もよかってー！
タンデムの先生もうますぎやし、カメラマンとかワイルドすぎぐらい危険な事を余裕でやるし(笑)
また飛びたいって思いますよ！
ジェットコースターやバンジージャンプとは違うんで、高すぎて下見えない分、セスナから出ていくってだけですよ

The driver was Japanese and the explanations were easy to understand in Japanese. Skydiving itself was reasonably priced, but you need to tip the driver $4, the instructor $20, and the photographer (if you sign up) $20, so I recommend bringing extra cash. Skydiving was incredibly fun, and I would like to use this service again next time.

ドライバーは日本人で説明も日本語で分かりやすかったです。
スカイダイビング自体はお手頃でしたがドライバー＄4、インストラクター＄20、カメラマン(申込んだ場合)＄20とチップが必要なので現金も余分に持参することをおすすめします。スカイダイビングは最高に楽しかったので次回も利用したいです。

The experience was really great!
The views were amaizing!
I recomend this experience!

I was nervous since it was my first time, but the staff were all so interesting and I had a great time! The view from above was also breathtaking and unforgettable. I definitely want to do it again when I come back to Hawaii!

初めてでドキドキでしたが、面白いスタッフばかりでとても楽しめました！
上空から見る景色も感動的で忘れられないです。
またハワイに来たら絶対したいです！

It was amazing. I'm really glad I got to have this experience. The guide was incredibly entertaining. My wife was with me and she was very happy as well. This was my first time having such an experience; I initially hesitated, but I'm glad I did it. I want to recommend this to others and give more people the chance to have such an experience. Thank you very much.

最高でした。こんな体験させて頂いて本当良かった。案内してくれたおっちゃんが最高面白くしてくれた。
奥さんも一緒だったがすごく喜んでくれた。こんな体験初めて私は初め拒んでいたけどやって良かった。他の人にも勧めたいもっと他の人にもこんな体験させてあげたい。
ありがとうございました。

We spent Christmas in Hawaii and went on this excursion and absolutely loved it!!! The crew was fabulous and we would do this excursion again!!! Such a unique experience and the views were out of this world!!! Highly highly reccommend!!!

I have wanted to go skydiving for a long time. The scenery in Hawaii is so beautiful, and diving into it was incredibly exciting!! The staff were all fun and reliable. I want to do it again! Next time, I want to have photos taken while diving.

前々からスカイダイビングをしたいと思っていました。ハワイの景色はとてもキレイで、その中に飛び込んでダイブするのはとてもエキサイティングでした！！
スタッフの方も、面白くて頼もしい方たちばかりです。また飛びたい！
今度はダイブしてる写真も撮ってもらいたいです。

The view of Kauai Island from the sky was magnificent, offering a scenery that can't be experienced in Japan. It rained a little, but it stopped quickly, and right after that, I was able to see a double rainbow, which made me feel so happy.

空からのカウアイ島は雄大で日本では経験できない景色を見れて最高でした。少し雨も降りましたが直ぐにあがってその直後ダブルレインボーも見れて幸せな気分になれました。

Loved this tour, it ticked all the boxes and was less stressful than driving all those bends and narrow bridges ourself. Just enough stops to get photos and food. Mike our driver was fantastic and interesting. Absolutely loved the comfort of the van. Our picnic lunch was delicious and the park where we stopped was beautiful. The helicopter ride was fantastic too and show a different look of the rainforest from above, if you haven't booked this yet, make sure you do. A great company to go with.

I signed up for skydiving in Hawaii at my husband's request, but it costs $53.33 just for a companion to accompany us. I thought it was expensive, but since it's a valuable experience, I went ahead with the booking.

Since we were at it, I also added the video recording option to capture the moment in the air. However, the reservation site stated that we could choose between a photographer or an instructor for the shoot, but in reality, we had no choice. In the end, we were only offered the photographer option, and I ended up paying $178 including tax for that. The skydiving itself was $170, so the video recording ended up being more expensive.

Before purchasing the video, I wasn't allowed to check the footage and had to buy it as instructed.

The tipping amount was also listed on the site as $10 to $20, but we were actually told to pay $20 each. That meant $20 for the instructor, $20 for the photographer, totaling $40, plus $10 for the driver who brought us there.

In total, I ended up paying over $450.

It was a typical case of appearing cheap but charging a lot in the end.

While I was satisfied with the valuable experience itself, I found it unkind that the prices increased once we got there, and it was hard to know the exact costs until we arrived.

Additionally, there was a fully equipped ATM for cash advances from credit cards, with a sign saying, "If you don't have enough money, please use this."

Since the optional tour was prepaid by credit card, many people might not expect to incur such additional costs. I advise anyone planning to participate to keep these points in mind.

Also, even my husband, who is good with rides, felt nauseous during the landing turns and ended up feeling groggy. I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

ハワイでスカイダイビングをしたいとの夫の要望で申し込みましたが、現地に着いていくだけの同行者も53.33ドルかかります。高いなと思いつつも、貴重な体験だしと申し込みました。

せっかくなので、飛んでいる所も残そうとビデオ撮影のオプションもつけましたが、予約時のサイトの記載ではカメラマン撮影かインストラクター撮影か選べるとあったのに、実際は選べませんでした。
結局、カメラマン撮影一択で、税込みで178ドル支払わされました。
飛ぶのが、170ドルだったので、それよりも高いビデオ撮影代になりました。
動画購入前に、VTRのチェックもさせてもらえず、言われるがままに購入。

チップの金額もサイトでは、10ドル～20ドルと記載がありましたが、実際は各自に20ドル払ってくださいと金額を指定されました。
インストラクターに20ドル・カメラマンに20ドルで計40ドル
更に、現地までつれてきてくれたドライバーにも10ドル

なんだかんだで、全部で450ドル以上の支払いになりました。

安く見せといて、高く取られる典型的なパターンでした。

貴重な体験が出来たので、それ自体は満足ですが、現地に行ってから金額が吊り上がり、行ってみないと細かい金額が分からないのは不親切だなと思いました。

あと、「お金が足りない人は、こちらをご使用下さい」と、しっかりクレジットカードからキャッシング出来るATMまで完備されていました。

オプショナルツアー自体は、クレジットでの事前精算なのでお金がそんなに追加でかかると思わない人も多いのでしょうね……
参加予定の人は、以上の点をご注意ください。

あと、乗り物に強い夫でも着陸時の旋回で酔ってグロッキーになっていました。
酔い止めなどは飲まれた方がいいと思います。

First time on a helicopter and it was the best way to see all of the island. The crew was great and the pilot Christy was awesome.

Do not leave Hawaii without experiencing Bill's glider ride.

Our pilot Kristy was fantastic ! It was a great way to see the beautiful Island of Oahu
Loved every minute of it !

Very professional staff and felt very safe. I would just say that this experience had a lot for me to compare to for me and my daughter on this trip to Hawaii. We did ziplining, Parasailing, horse back riding and went from high-octane outdoor activities to passenger sightseeing. However, if I were to rank this tour as a stand-alone activity I would give it very high marks. To see the volcanic areas from the air is really interesting since you are seeing a "live" mass in motion (can't see it move but it is moving). Trees are burning from the lava, smoke and craters really lets you know who is in charge, nature.

I have flown with Blue Hawaiian on the other Islands and have always found the experience to be excellent. This time was no exception. It was a beautiful clear day and our pilot, Kristi (sp), was extremely good at narrating the tour of the Island as she flew and was also very funny. The only disappointment that I had was that the video recorder on the helicopter was broken so I wasn't able to purchase a DVD of our flight. Had I known this before we took off, I would have taken many more pictures. My fault for not asking!

Helicopter ride over the Big Island!!!

I hesitated for several years thinking about the cost, but... it was definitely the right decision to board! It was worth every penny! (Even for someone like me who is extremely afraid of heights, the stability of the helicopter was reassuring.)

After boarding, I was thrilled by the breathtaking views that you can never see from the ground. Waterfalls, Kilauea, lava fields, valleys, the land... everything was absolutely stunning! (I apologize for not having the best shots since I was sitting in the middle seat at the back...)

And our Japanese pilot, TOSHI (I was lucky with the timing!) provided a detailed explanation of the Big Island. (I might have been caught not really listening, though... haha.) Next time I board, I’ll make sure to study a bit more about the Big Island!

So, I definitely want to take this ride again next time!

ハワイ島ヘリコプターに搭乗！！！

金額のことを考え数年躊躇していましたが・・・
搭乗して大正解！金額を払っただけの価値はあります♪
（めちゃめちゃ高所恐怖症の私でも安心できるヘリコプターの安定感です）

搭乗後は地上からは決してみることのできない景色の数々に興奮しきりでした。
滝、キラウェア、溶岩後、渓谷、大地・・・どれをとっても文句なしです！
（後部中央席に座ったいたのでベストショットがなくてすみません・・）

そして日本人パイロットのTOSHIさん（タイミング的にラッキーだったようです!(^^)!）が丁寧にハワイ島の説明をしてくださいました。
（聞いているようで聞いていない？ことがバレてしまいましたが・・(笑)）
次回搭乗の際には改めてハワイ島のことをもうちょっと勉強して臨みます！

ということで、次回も必ず搭乗したいと思います！

We had a great time, enjoyed the view, but felt restricted. The President was on the island, so our air space was limited. It was kind of a bummer, but our pilot, Jim, really tried to make the best of the situation. He was great!

This is my second trip with Blue Hawaiian while in Hawaii. The pilot was very friendly, knowledgeable and made me feel confident with his skills. The day was very windy and rained off and on but he ensured our safety. It is clear that safety is very important to this company. The scenery was breathtaking.

The pickup on the day was on time, and while watching a skydiving explanation video in the car, I signed the consent form. After about an hour, we arrived at Pacific Skydiving Center, where I chose options for video and photo shoots, and was introduced to my instructor and the cameraman. My instructor was Mark and the cameraman was Clint. Both were very cheerful, and their explanations about the jumping posture were really enjoyable. Thanks to their jokes and cheerful demeanor, my nerves were greatly eased.

After reaching the desired altitude in the Cessna, without any time to be scared, I was quickly thrown into the air at the signal of "3, 2, 1."

There was no feeling of floating, just a strong wind!

After about a minute of free fall, the parachute deployed. The view from there was truly breathtaking. Along the way, Mark taught me how to operate the parachute, and being able to drift through the sky on my own was a wonderful memory. The landing was a butt-slide landing, and my backside ended up muddy!

Finally, we checked the photos, and I really felt it was worth asking for the shoot. The beautiful photos, the incredible funny faces—though it wasn't cheap, I’m really glad I requested it.

From what I saw of others, all the instructors and cameramen seemed cheerful and were having a lot of fun! It was truly a valuable experience! I definitely want to do it again!!!

当日の迎えも時間通り、車内でスカイダイビングの説明ビデオを見ながら、同意書にサインをします。
1時間ほどでパシフィックスカイダイビングセンターに到着し、ビデオ撮影や写真撮影等のオプション選択をした後、インストラクターと撮影を担当してくれるカメラマンを紹介されます。
私を担当してくれたのはマークさん（インストラクター）とクリントさん（カメラマン）でした。二人とも非常に陽気な方で、飛び降りた際の降下姿勢等の説明も非常に楽しかったです。二人の冗談や陽気さのおかげで緊張も随分ほぐれました。
セスナで目的の高度に達した後は「3、2、1」の合図で怖がる間もなく、あっという間に空中に放り出されます。

浮遊感はなく、ただただ風が強い！

1分ほどフリーフォールした後に、パラシュートが展開されます。
そこから見る景色は本当に絶景でした。
途中、パラシュートの操作方法をマークさんが教えてくれ、自分の意思で空を漂えたのが本当に良い思い出です。
着地はお尻スライディング着地でした。お尻が泥々になってしまいます笑。

最後に写真の確認を行いますが、本当に撮影をお願いしてよかったと思います。
綺麗な写真、凄まじい変顔、決して安い額ではありませんがお願いしていて本当によかったです。

他の方を見た感じでは、どのインストラクターさんもカメラマンさんも陽気な方でとても楽しそうでした！
本当に貴重な経験でした！
ぜひまた体験したいです！！！

Thank you very much for putting a spectacular tour together.I saw the road to Hana and the Air view of rain forest.Staff had cold water and beautiful lunch set up for us.Very tasty for Vegitarian and diabetic people on tour.I saw so many different plants and trees.The road was winding through small towns and tourist attractions.Driver made it over the smallest bridges built in Early 1918's.All Steves tutorial is stuck with me like a history teacher.When booking I would ask for the same guide.He was retired and took course to do this job and always Looking for new info about Maui.

I was scared, but it was an amazing moment! If you're hesitating, you should definitely give it a try! The beautiful scenery will leave you in awe♪ I want to fly again right away!! Just like Masa said, you just need to clear your mind and fly (^_^)b Thank you, Masa.

怖いと思っていたけど…最高な瞬間でした！
悩んでいるくらいなら絶対にトライしてみるべき！すごくキレイな景色に感動します♪
すぐにでもまた飛びたいです!!
マサさんの言う通り頭の中空っぽにして飛ぶだけですね(^_^)b Thak you Masa.

I had the opportunity to experience skydiving with a friend, something I had wanted to try at least once in my life. Both my friend and I are really bad with thrill rides, to the point where there are hardly any rides we can go on at amusement parks... haha. However, after hearing various opinions from TV shows and personal experiences, such as how skydiving is completely different and can change your perspective, we thought maybe we would like to try it at least once, so we decided to participate this time.

The staff and the instructor who tandem jumped with us were all great people! They really helped me relax and eased my nerves. Once we boarded the plane and ascended, the scenery became incredibly beautiful, and I could see the curvature of the Earth.

When it was our turn to jump, my friend went first, and I was second, which heightened my tension. The moment I saw my friend disappear in front of me, I realized I was screaming. Haha. When it was my turn, the instructor guided me from behind, and in no time, we were jumping.

For me, skydiving was even scarier than thrill rides, and at that moment, I thought to myself, "Those who said skydiving is completely different are lying!" Haha. After the parachute opened, I started to calm down, but honestly, I was scared to my core. Haha.

When I reunited with my friend after landing, she was so excited and said she wanted to do it again because it was so much fun! Even though we can't handle thrill rides, it seems this experience is different for everyone!

My friend and I bought a photo as a keepsake. (You can check the photos on the computers in the store.) On the shuttle bus back, we were so exhausted that we fell asleep immediately.

When we got to the hotel, I realized I had forgotten my hat inside the store and thought about giving up on it. However, I found the Japanese website and emailed them, and they delivered it to the hotel front desk the next evening. I was so happy and grateful because it was my favorite hat.

If anyone is interested in skydiving in Hawaii and looking for a place, I highly recommend this one!

一生に一回はやってみたかったスカイダイビングを友人とこちらで体験させて頂きました。
私も友人も絶叫系が凄く苦手で遊園地に行っても、乗れる乗り物がほとんど無いほど‥笑
ですが、テレビや体験談などを聞いていると、そんな方でもスカイダイビングは全然違う！とか世界観が変わる！など様々な意見を聞き、これなら私達も一度はやってみたいかもと思い今回参加させて頂きました。
スタッフや一緒にタンデムしていただいたインストラクターの方もいい人ばかり！
緊張していた私に凄くリラックスさせて和ませてくれました。
そして、飛行機に乗り込み、上昇してくにつれ景色が凄く綺麗で、地球が丸いのが一望できました。
飛ぶ番がきて、友人が1番、私が2番目で一気に緊張が高まります。
私は友人が目の前から消えた瞬間に気付けば悲鳴をあげてました。笑
私の番になるとインストラクターの方が私を後ろから誘導しあっという間に飛んでしまいました。
私の場合、絶叫系乗り物を上回るくらいスカイダイビングも怖くて、スカイダイビングは全然違うと言っていた方達を心の底から嘘つきーー！と飛んだ瞬間思いました。笑
パラシュートが開いてからは気持ちも落ち着いてきましたが、正直な感想、心の底から怖かったです。笑
降りて友人と合流した際、友人はもう一回乗りたい位楽しかった！とテンションが凄く高くなっていました。
絶叫系が乗れない2人ですが、こればかりはやっぱり人それぞれなんですね！
私と友人は記念に写真を、購入しました。(※店内のパソコンにて写真をチェックできます。)
帰りの送迎バスの中ではどっと疲れて熟睡してしまいました。
ホテルについて帽子を店内に忘れた事に気付き、諦めようと思いましたが、日本語サイトのホームページを発見し、メールをしたところ、次の日の夕方にホテルのフロントに届けて下さりました。凄くお気に入りの帽子だったので嬉しくてとても感謝しています。
もしハワイでスカイダイビングに興味があり、どこかお探しの方がいらしたら、ここをオススメします！

The Road to Hana / Helicopter Tour was perfect for my 50th Birthday Celebration, I was worried about getting air sick but the flight was so stable that I did not feel sick at all and would like to have flown all day : )

The whole experience was excellent from time I got picked up until drop off back at my Hotel. Our pilot was knowledgeable and a great guide for all of Oahu highlights. I am not great with heights but I would have no problems in doing this tour again or recommending it to others.

The Guides were very knowledgable and attentive, Caleb on the Valley Tour and Christina on the Ocean Cruise. They represented the Ranch very well.

Riding in a helicopter and seeing a live volcano checked off two of the entries on my life list. Scott, our pilot, was as excited as we were to see the molten lava gushing out in neon orange waves. It was definitely one of those,"Oh wow!" moments.

None of the retired ladies in our group had ever ridden in a helicopter before, and Scott had just the right combination of confidence and professionalism that reassured everyone. I would definitely fly with him again!

This tour was the highlight of our trip, and I would recommend it to everyone. It was worth every penny!

It was seriously the best!!! You’ll understand once you try it. It feels like being a bird, lol. You won’t know unless you do it! I wouldn’t recommend it after a meal, though, since it spins you around. It also depends on the instructor... The Wi-Fi package is a great deal too! If I get the chance again, I’ll definitely do it! Thank you!

いやマジ最高！！！やれば分かる。鳥の気分w
やらなきゃわからない的な！
食後はオススメできません。ぐるぐる回るので。
インストラクターにもよりますが。。。
Wi-Fiもセットでお得ですよ～
また機会あれば絶対やります！ありがとうございました。
