I had a great time! However, I felt unsure if we actually reached the planned altitude. It was advertised as a one-minute free fall, but it seemed like it was only about 20 to 30 seconds. Additionally, among the participants who gathered on the same bus, the order of jumping was mixed up, resulting in over three hours of waiting time difference, which was frustrating considering the limited travel time.
非常に楽しかったです!
ですが、予定されている高度に行っていたか怪しいと思いました。フリーフォール1分とありましたが、実際は20〜30秒くらいしかなかったように思えます。
また、同じバスで集合した参加メンバーの中でも飛ぶ順番がバラバラで待ち時間に3時間以上の違いがあったことも、限られた旅行時間を考えると不満です。

I thought there would be practice, but it was explained only in English and gestures, which made me really anxious. However, since there was an instructor with us, once I tried it, it was so much fun!! I went in a sleeveless top, so I was cold, but the enjoyment outweighed that!
Even at 4,200 meters, you can only float for about 5 minutes, so I definitely recommend going for 4,200 meters! I bought the video, but hiring the cameraman was an additional $70, and the video itself was about $250. I think the photos were another $200. If those prices were a bit lower, it would have been perfect, but since it's something you can't experience every day, I'm satisfied.
練習があると思いきや、英語とジェスチャーのみで説明され凄く不安でしたがインストラクターがついてますので、飛んでみたらすっごく楽しい!! 私はノースリーブで行ったので寒かったですが、、、
楽しさの方が勝ちました!
4200メートルでも5分程しか浮遊できないので
絶対4200メートルをオススメします!
動画を買いましたがカメラマン雇うので別途70ドル、動画買うのにたしか250ドル、写真はまた別で200ドルだったと思います。
そこがもう少し安ければ最高でしたが、普段体験出来ない事なので満足です。

It was the best experience! Looking down from the mountain and the fear of jumping was intense, but it was an amazing experience! The staff was really high-energy! I had told them in advance not to spin around in English, but they spun me around anyway... However, after spinning, they checked in with me saying, "OK?" so that was still good.
My tandem staff was really cool, and after we landed, he quietly folded the parachute while I had no idea what to do. But when I watched the video, I was surprised to see him having a blast while we were flying (゚Д゚;). After it was over, I had to wait quite a while for the CD-R. It was slow, so when I went to the reception, I found a box with the CD-R inside, and when I asked, it had already arrived a long time ago. I wish they had communicated that sooner.
I had booked through Veltra without a pickup, but when I arrived in Japan, I was surprised to receive an email from the skydiving company confirming the pickup time, saying, "I'm worried. Please contact me." I also wished they would have replied saying it was a mistake if it was indeed an error.
最高の経験でした!
山を上から見下ろし、飛び降りる時の怖さは半端ないけどすごく良い経験ができました!
スタッフたちはかなり、テンションが高いです!
前もって英語でグルグル回らないでねって伝えてあったのに、グルグル回られました・・・。
でも、回ったあとに『OK?』と確認してくれてたのでまだ、良いです。
私のタンデムスタッフはすごくクールで、着地した後は黙々とパラシュートをたたんでいて、私はどうしたら良いのかわかりませんでした。
でも、ムービーを見ると飛んでいる時はメチャメチャはしゃいでいて、ビックリしました(゚Д゚;)
終わった後にCD-R待ちで、かなり待たされました。
遅いので受付に行くと箱にCD-Rが入っていて、尋ねるととっくに届いていました。
早く伝えてほしかったです。
ベルトラでの予約では送迎なしにしていたのに、日本に着くとスカイダイビングから送迎時間確認のメール『心配です。連絡ください。』と届いていてビックリしました。
また、間違えなら間違えましたと返信もしてほしかったです。

This was my second time in Hawaii, and my first time skydiving. Unfortunately, the weather was not great due to clouds at that time. After five minutes, if there wasn't even a little bit of sunshine, it seemed like we would have to cancel for the day, but then a small break in the clouds appeared.
Seizing the moment, I boarded the Cessna. Although we didn't reach the highest altitude, I was able to dive safely into the sky. It truly became the best experience of my life.
Thank you to the staff who worked hard to give us the opportunity to fly without giving up until the end, and thank you for the weather in the North!

I went with a mixed group of about ten people, mostly Japanese, and there were some Koreans as well. The driver was an elderly man in his 70s. He didn’t seem like a bad person, but on the bus, he made us pass around a community newspaper where he had posted about his skydiving experience. He talked about his upbringing, spiritual matters, and global warming, and honestly, I couldn't understand what he was saying at all. That kind of talk was unnecessary.
When we arrived, everyone else took the training and boarded the Cessna, and they kept descending one after another. However, for some reason, we (I didn’t jump, but my companions did) were forgotten, and even though we arrived at 9 AM, the Cessna didn’t take off until after 11 AM. (Everyone else had finished by before 10 AM.)
As other participants finished their jumps and more people arrived, I started to think we were being forgotten. I occasionally asked the elderly driver, “Are we still waiting?” but he would say things like, “It’s just the order” or “It seems it will take a while,” and we were left waiting. The driver could have asked the staff for us, but he didn’t do that for quite some time. After about an hour and a half, he finally went to ask, and we were told, “It seems the paperwork was sent to the wrong place.” In short, we had been forgotten. I should have just gone to the reception myself to ask.
While we were waiting in a daze, there was a loud “bang!” followed by staff shouting “Oh No!” and “Emergency!” Then we saw someone collapse in the grass, and an ambulance arrived. It was shocking. In the end, it turned out that the parachute didn’t open in the air, but the person had failed the landing and fell a bit. However, I don’t know the details, and it was really scary. The person didn’t move for about 30 minutes, and the staff were all in a flurry. Ultimately, the person who fell didn’t go in the ambulance but left in a private car driven by their companion, so it seemed they weren’t seriously injured. But seeing something like that before jumping was terrifying, not enjoyable.
The driver was a bit off. We were made to wait a long time on-site, witnessed an accident, and then waited even longer because of that. Finally, we were able to jump, but the weather wasn’t great, and although I hoped for the maximum altitude, they lowered it (which is understandable). The only good memory was up in the sky.
Also, because there were many clouds, we were refunded $30 for having to lower the altitude, but it was a system where you had to go to the reception to request the refund yourself, which was another point of dissatisfaction. It’s strange that they wouldn’t refund unless you asked. The office was small, and there weren’t even ten customers, so they should have been able to keep track.
After waiting for such a long time, I went to the reception to file a complaint on the way back, but as expected, it was different from Japan. They really didn’t apologize! They made excuses about the paperwork being delayed, the documents going to the wrong place, the weather, and so on. I was frustrated that I couldn’t express even half of what I wanted to say because I don’t speak much English. It was all excuses. The driver insisted that he submitted the paperwork, but the reception made a mistake, and the reception said it wasn’t their fault.
Finally, when we were returning to Waikiki, the driver said, “There were various troubles today, so we were a bit late. Sorry about that.” Everyone in the tour group fell silent at that comment. The way he said it… Then afterwards, he called what seemed to be headquarters on his cellphone and reported, “Everything went smoothly,” which irritated me even more.
The driver’s incomprehensible talk, the wait time after everyone else finished their jumps, the accident, the refund system that required you to report it yourself, and their lack of apology.
I was exhausted.
When I went skydiving in Guam, the support from start to finish was fa
10名ほどの混載で行きました。だいたい日本人、あと韓国人もいたかな。
ドライバーさんは、御年70過ぎのおじいさんでした。悪い人ではないんだろうけど、バスの中では、自分がスカイダイビングをして載った(自身で投稿?)地域のコミュニティー新聞みたいなやつを回覧させられ、生い立ちからスピリチュアル?みたいな宇宙の話、地球温暖化の話、等と正直何言ってるのか全くわかりませんでした。あの話はいらないです。
そして到着し、他のみなさんは講習を受けてはセスナに乗り込み、どんどん降下してこられていました。しかし、私たちは(私は飛ばなかったので同行者が)なぜか忘れられ、9時に到着したのに、セスナ出発は11時過ぎになりました。(他の人たちは10時前には全て終えていた。)
他の参加者が飛び終え、後から来た人もどんどん飛び終え、これは忘れられているのでは?と思い、時々、ドライバーのおじいさんに、「まだですか?」と聞いていましたが「順番だから」「まだかかるみたい」などと言って待たされ、ドライバーさんも、受付の人に聞きに行ってくれれば良いのに、それもなかなかせず。1時間半ほど経ったころにようやく聞きに行ってくれ、「書類が違うところに回されていたみたい」とか言われました。要は忘れられていたと。やっぱり黙っててはダメですね。こんなことなら自分で受付に聞きに行けば良かったです。
そうこうしてボーっと待っているところに、「ドン!」という音とともに、スタッフ達の「Oh No!」や「Emergency!」とかいう声。そして草むらに倒れる人。そしてやってきた救急車。ビックリしました。結局は上空からパラシュートが開かずに落ちたのではなく、最後の着地に失敗し、ちょっと落ちた?みたいなことだったようです。でも詳しくわからないし、本当に怖かったです。30分くらいは倒れた状態から動かなかったし、スタッフもザワザワしていたし。結局、落ちた人は救急車に乗らず、その人の同行者が運転する自家用車で帰って行ったので、それほどの怪我ではなかったようです。でも、そんなんを見てから飛ぶなんて楽しみではなく恐怖ですよね。
ドライバーさんがちょっとアレな人。現地ではさんざん待たされ、そして事故を目の当たりにし、それによって更に待たされ、ようやく飛べたものの、天候はあまりよくないとのことで、最高高度を希望していましたが高度を下げられ(これは仕方がないことです)良い思い出は空の上だけです。
あと、雲が多いということで、高度を下げることになったから30ドル返金してもらったのですが、それも、自分で受付に言いに行かないと返金しないシステムだったので、そこも不満です。言いに行かなければ返金しないなんておかしいですよね。現地は小さな事務所で、お客さんも10人もいないくらいで把握しきれないわけでもないのに。
そしてそんなこんなで、あまりにも長時間待たされたので帰り際に受付に苦情を言いに行きましたが、さすが日本とは違いますね。本当に謝らない!書類が届くのが遅かったとか、書類が手違いで違うところに行っていたとか、天候がー、とかとか。あんまり英語も話せないので、言いたいことの半分も言えなかったのがくやしいです。言い訳ばっかりでした。自分は悪くないと。ドライバーさんは、自分は書類を提出したが受付が間違ったと言い張るし、受付は自分のせいじゃないと言うし。
そしてようやくワイキキに戻る時、ドライバーさんが言った「今日はいろんなトラブルがあったからね、ちょっと遅くなったけどねー。ハイすみませんでした。」という言葉に、もうツアー参加者全員沈黙でしたね。その言い方。。。
そしてその後、携帯電話で本部みたいなところに電話し、「問題なく終わりましたー。」という脳天気な報告にもイラッとしました。
ドライバーさんの意味不明な話。他の人たちは飛び終えてからの待ち時間、私たちは飛ぶ前の待ち時間。事故。申告しないと返金しないシステム。そして謝らない姿勢。
疲れました。
グアムでスカイダイブしたときは講習からすべてに至るまで素晴らしいサポートだったのになぁ。。

In celebration of our 11th Year Anniversary, my husband and I agreed getting on a helicopter tour. At first, I was worried about motion sickness, and all these negative thoughts we had in our minds especially that we have young children but as we were heading to the helicopter site, the fear that we've had before is turning to an excitement, even more so after we were checked-in by Vincent, who was very helpful, funny, and was able to answer some of the questions and concerns I had before the flight. The weather was cooperating with us too as it was sunny, bright blue skies, with no high winds considering that there was a storm and strong winds the day before. We were asked to check-in 45 minutes before the flight and I thought that was too early but once we got there, the time actually went by too fast as we watched videos of these great sceneries taken on the flights that got us even more fired up!
Adam was our pilot that day and he was very professional, friendly, and informative. He even had us take our time to see the whales as we spotted them swimming in the ocean (we saw 4), and also tons of turtles floating above the water. I like how he communicates with everyone as well and made sure that we are all doing okay.
We are local residents by the way, we've been living in Oahu for 19 years and I have never seen the island so remarkably beautiful until we took this flight! It was amazing and I never stopped talking about it! The sceneries were breathtaking, especially the views of Kaneohe Sandbar! Just incredibly stunning, and what a stress reliever! I don't know how else to express myself but our experience was beyond our expectation! I never appreciated Mother Nature as much as I do now so thank you Blue Hawaiian Helicopters for showing us these and the wonderful experience that will truly last a lifetime! Lucky to live Hawaii..INDEED!
Aloha! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We are so happy you had a wonderful time. Please come back and see us again. Mahalo, The Blue Crew

Our family of 4 took a tour of Kauai with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters in Feb 2015. We booked the flight a month prior, and were unable to book on our preferred day as they were already booked up, but were able to book on our 2nd choice day. When we checked in, they asked us each to stand on the mat that just looked like a welcome mat, didn't feel like standing on a scale, and they didn't broadcast your weight, it was discreet. The kids are aged 6 and 8 and could easily see out the windows and the pilot Geoff encouraged them to ask questions and interact. I am prone to motion sickness but the ride was smooth and our pilot was experienced put us all at ease. We each had a comfortable seat, about the same size seat as on an airplane, except had a 5 point harness, but was still comfortable. Terrific views and pilot gave good commentary about the island. It was tough to take pictures, reflection on the window, but they take a video of the flight you can purchase that included a camera inside the helicopter, the kids liked seeing themselves in the video. We haven't flown with other helicopter companies, so hard to compare which company is best, but Blue Hawaiian seemed very professional. We did a brief safety video and safety demonstration before the flight and the ground crew was friendly offered to take a picture of our family with the helicpter in the background. It was rather pricey for 4 of us, definitely needed to budget but it was worth it, very exciting and a once in a lifetime experience. If you want to truly see the scenery of Kauai, this is the BEST way.

I did this tour on my 60th birthday. It was the best experience of my life! The helicopter pilot, Marko, was knowledgeable as well as entertaining. We saw the amazingly varied terrain of the Big Island but the best was seeing the Kilauea Caldera and lava pool as well as places where the lava was slowing flowing. The Kohala area was unbelievably beautiful. A bonus - the great coffee made by Marko at the midway stop. I would highly recommend this tour especially if your time in Hawaii is limited and you want to see it all in comfort.
