All Reviews for Helicopter & Airplane Tours

The weather was good on the day, but there was a bit of strong wind, so it was explained before the flight that there might be some turbulence, which was helpful for preparation. The pre-flight briefing and the explanations inside the aircraft were accurate and very good.

当日は天気は良かったのですが風が少し強いので揺れる可能性があるとフライト前に説明があったので準備もできてよかったです。フライト前の説明や、機体内での説明も的確でとても良かったです

Six years ago, I had my first piloting experience. At that time, I shared that my childhood dream was to become a pilot for ANA. As a result, I was able to experience everything from takeoff to landing, which was a broad and enriching experience in many ways.

This time, the instructor from my previous experience had become a pilot for a commercial airline and was no longer with the program, so I had a different instructor. During this flight, I was able to enjoy the view from above while receiving guidance, which was nice since there were other passengers on board. However, personally, I wished I could have had a bit more hands-on experience with the controls during takeoff and landing!

前回、６年前に初の操縦体験をしました。その際は、自分の子供の頃にANAのパイロットになることが夢でした。等々の話をしたところ、離陸から結局、着陸まで体験させて頂き、色々な意味で幅広く体感させて頂きました。
今回は、前回のインストラクターの方は、民間エアラインでパイロットになられたようでもう在籍されておらず、別の方でした。今回は、上空で色々、下の風景を見ながらガイドをしていただけたので、その点では、同乗者もいたので良かったです。ただ、個人的には、もう少し離着陸の体感を操縦桿を握りながら！やりたっかったですねー＾＾

I have been going to Hawaii every year for the past few years, participating with specific goals in mind for my trips. This time, I hadn't decided what to do until just before departure, but two days before leaving, I happened to be looking at Veltra and came across a Cessna flying experience. I thought, "This is it!" and signed up. I confirmed my reservation on the day I arrived in Hawaii. Since it was my first time on a Cessna, I was particularly nervous until takeoff. I was holding the control yoke, but I was surprisingly amazed at how easily we took off. Although the staff handled the actual flying 100%, the moment the Cessna soared like a bird in the wind was breathtaking. Within seconds, the buildings below became smaller and smaller. Thanks to the staff, I felt like a bird for several minutes. Thank you for this precious experience. It was unforgettable, and I didn't feel that the cost was high at all.

ここ数年毎年ハワイに行ってますが旅の目玉となる具体的な目的を持って参加しております　今回は何をやろうか出発直前まで決まらなかったのですがたまたま出発2日前にveltraをみてましたらセスナ体験操縦が目に飛び込んできました　これだと思い申込ました　予約完了を確認したのはハワイに着いた日でした　セスナに乗ることが初めてだったので離陸するまでは特に緊張してました　操縦桿は握ってましたが意外に簡単にふわりと離陸したので少し驚きました　操縦そのものは同乗のスタッフが100％行なっているので簡単なことではないでしょうが　セスナ機が風の中を羽のように舞い上がった瞬間は感動しました　そして数秒もたたないうちに真下に見える建物はどんどん小さくなっていきました　数十分間スタッフのお蔭で鳥になれました　ありがとうございました　貴重な体験でした　記憶に残る体験なので決して料金は高くはないと感じました
　

I have flown about 2 million miles, but I always wanted to hold the control stick myself at least once. While planning my trip to Hawaii, I learned about an activity for experiencing piloting a small aircraft and decided to sign up. The scenery was amazing, and I was moved by the feeling of being one with the airplane. The only regret I have is not preparing a pilot-style costume shirt in advance for this opportunity.

いままで、200万マイルぐらい飛行機に乗りましたが、一度は自分で操縦桿を握りたいと思ったのです。
ハワイ旅行を企画しているとき、小型機の体験操縦のアクティビティがあることを知り、申し込むことにしました。
景色はすばらしく、飛行機が自分と一体となっていることに感動しました。
せっかく機会だったので、事前に機長風のコスプレシャツを用意しなかったことが
唯一の心残りです。

It was a blast, felt like a well oiled operation. Highly recommend the picture package the free fall goes by so fast that you’d want to have the pictures / videos to remember your experience.

The excitement of taking off from Daniel K. Inouye International Airport on my own was exceptional! The view from above was of otherworldly beauty, and I was able to witness the unique features of the volcanic terrain; everything was wonderful.

It was an experience that is rarely possible in Japan, and I had a truly unique and precious experience. I requested a Japanese pilot, and the explanations from the pilot were easy to understand, and the conversation was entertaining (we had a great time with local talk, haha), and above all, I felt a sense of security.

I will definitely participate again when I visit Hawaii. I think I might become addicted to it.

The stories from the owner couple who came to pick us up were also very interesting, and I could really feel their love for airplanes, which made my own feelings about flying grow even stronger.

Everything was fantastic! Thank you so much!

あのダニエルKイノウエ空港から自分の操縦で飛び立てる興奮は格別です！
上空から見る景色は異次元の美しさで、火山でできた地形の特徴を目の当たりにすることができ、すべてが素晴らしかったです。
日本ではめったにできない体験で、唯一無二の貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
日本人パイロット指定で申し込みをさせていただきましたが、パイロットの方の説明がわかりやすく、トークも面白く（地元トークでもりあがりました　笑）、何より安心感がありました。
是非、またハワイを訪れた時には、参加させていただきます。病みつきになりそうです。

送迎に来てくださったオーナー夫妻のお話もとても興味深く、本当に飛行機を愛されているのだなと思いましたし、その気持ちが伝わりこちらまで飛行機に対する思いが一層膨らんだ気がします。

すべてが最高でした！本当にありがとうございました！

This was our third try to get this ride. Weather kept us from seeing this amazing island and coast. This time…oh my! The weather cooperated and we were given quite a tour. Our pilot, Duke, was terrific. Duke was so knowledgeable about the island. Plus, Jurassic Park soundtrack. Go ahead and splurge for the front seats…you will not be disappointed! We recommend this flight for everyone. Blue Hawaiian is terrific!

I joined my son in the cockpit. The captain kindly taught us how to operate the controls. We enjoyed the breathtaking views of Hawaii from the back, making it a valuable 60-minute flight. The female staff member was very friendly and took many photos for us. The conversation with our driver, Ryoji, was also very interesting, and the transfer time flew by.

息子の操縦に同乗しました。
機長さんが、操縦の仕方を丁寧に教えて下さいました。
後方からハワイの絶景を楽しむことができ、貴重な60分のフライトでした。
スタッフの女性もとても親切で、写真を沢山撮って頂きました。
送迎のりょうじさんのお話もとても興味深く、送迎時間があっという間でした。

I used to fly with another company. Since that company is no longer in operation, this was my first time being taken care of here! It was a very enjoyable and fulfilling flight. The kind support and communication via LINE up until the last minute made me feel at ease. I would like to request your services again next time. Thank you very much! ✨

以前は別の会社で飛んでいました。
その会社がなくなったので、
今回初めてこちらでお世話になりました！
とても楽しい充実したフライトになりました。
とても親切なご対応や直前までLINEでやりとりなど安心出来ました。
また次回以降もお願いしたいと思っています。
ありがとうございました✨

I experienced it on May 7, 2025.
1. I was very satisfied with the location, the pilot, and the staff. I highly recommend it. 100 points.

2. Since my seat was on the left side, all the highlights were on the right side of the journey. The aircraft blocked my view, and I couldn't take the photos I wanted, which was disappointing. I requested the pilot to make a turn, but it was only accommodated once. Minus 40 points.

2025年5月7日体験しました。
1、体感は、ロケーション、パイロット、スタッフのみなさんには大満足でした。
おすすめです。100点

2、席が左サイドだった為、見所は全行程右サイドで、隣りの人越し、機体が邪魔になり、せっかくのロケーションが写真も思うように撮れず、心が折れましたよ
パイロットに旋回をリクエストしたがその1回切りの対応でした。
マイナス40点。

What gorgeous greenery sights, not to mention the endless waterfalls!

The tour was so personal, we were so happy to find a company that has private tours for great prices.

This flight was most certainly an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our Hawaii trip.

Excellent experience! Our pilot, Hayze made us feel very comfortable. This was our first ever helicopter ride. We had the most memorable doors off scenic over view of the island! Our pilot was awesome and he shared and pointed out so many sites and facts! This ride won’t disappoint!

At first, I was nervous, but the moment I jumped, all of that disappeared. If I could jump again, I would want to do it right now! For those who are hesitating, you absolutely should do it. It will change your perspective on life!

最初は緊張してたけど、飛んだ瞬間すべて吹き飛びました。
もう一回飛べるなら今すぐにでも飛びたい！
迷ってる人、絶対にやった方がいいです。人生観変わるレベルです！

It was a valuable experience. Thank you very much. If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate again. Thank you.

貴重な体験となりました。ありがとうございました。機会があれば、また参加させて頂きたいです。ありがとうございます。

There were a lot of people, so the start was delayed. However, once the preparations began, everything moved quickly, and we soon transferred into the helicopter. The instructor was very considerate, which was great. I felt a moment of fear just before the dive, but during the fall, it was exhilarating. It was an amazing experience!

人数が多かったのかスタートが遅かったです。
でも、準備が始まってからは一気にことご進んであっという間にヘリの中に移動。
インストラクターがすごく気を遣ってくれてよかったです。
ダイブする瞬間だけ恐怖を感じましたが落ちてる最中はうおーって感じでした。
とても素晴らしい体験でした！

This is managed by a couple who lived in Kansai, so communication in Japanese is fine. If you have Line, they can send you photos, which makes for great memories. I recommend allowing a little extra time. Refueling took a bit longer than expected. The weather was nice, and we enjoyed a fun scenic flight while piloting around the eastern route of Oahu. The departure and arrival will be at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.

関西で暮らしていた夫婦の経営ですので、やり取りは日本語でOKです。Lineがあると写真も送ってくれ、記念になります。時間は少し余裕を持っ行くことをお勧めします。燃料給油に少し時間が掛かりました。天気も良く、飛行機のオアフ島の東回りコースで、操縦しながらの楽しい遊覧飛行が出来ました。ダニエル.K．イノウエ国際空港の離発着になります。

One of the best parts of our Kauai tour coming from both couples! They swapped our tour to give us the best experience which is surely was!

Jay explained things very well before embarking on a great flight. I thoroughly enjoyed my flight and would recommend it to anyone

I had an absolutely amazing experience. The person who flew with me was wonderful, providing explanations in Japanese here and there and easing my nerves with their warm support. Additionally, they took many photos, which was another highlight for me. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sky was truly breathtaking and has become an unforgettable memory for a lifetime.

とても最高な経験をすることができました。一緒に飛んでくださった方がとても素敵な方で、ところどころ説明を日本語でしてくださったり、緊張をほぐしてくださったりと、心温まる対応をしてくださいました。
また、たくさんの写真も撮っていただき、それも大満足のポイントです。空から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの景色は、本当に息をのむほど美しく、一生忘れられない思い出となりました。

What an amazing experience. You will not regret doing this activity. Jeff was our pilot and he came with a lot of experience under his belt. He had so much knowledge about Oahu and his narrating was great. I would definitely do this again 100%.

At first, I was anxious, but the instructor was kind and taught me well, allowing me to dive into the skies of Hawaii in a fun way. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.

最初不安でしたがインストラクターの方が優しく教えてくれ楽しくハワイの空へダイブ流ことができとてもいい経験になりました。
ありがとうございました。

This was so awesome and our pilot was so knowledgeable about the whole area, she even circled around the water a couple of times when we spotted a whale in the water, she was also in the navy at one time and had a lot of knowledge about Pearl Harbor. I highly recommend this flight, it is for 1 hour and you see a lot.

It was my first time doing skydiving and going to Hawaii, but thanks to the amazing instructor, I was able to create wonderful memories. Each instructor had a slightly different way of taking photos and communicating, which was very interesting.

スカイダイビングをやるのもハワイに行くのも初めてでしたが、最高のインストラクターさんのおかげで素敵な思い出を作ることができました。
インストラクター毎に撮影や話し方が少しずつ違っており、とても面白かったです。

I went alone, but I enjoyed it to some extent. However, there was a bit of time before the jump, and I had no one to talk to, so I was bored. The pre-jump explanation lasted about 30 seconds, but I managed to jump and I'm alive. It probably depends on your partner. Please be careful about drooling during free fall. I understood why the tandem instructors were wearing full-face helmets after it was over.

1人で行きましたが　それなりに楽しめました。
ただ飛ぶまでの間、少し時間があるのですが話し相手もおらず暇でした。
事前の説明は30秒ほどで終わりましたが無事に飛べたし生きています。
一緒に飛ぶパートナーによると思います。
フリーフォール中はよだれの飛散に気をつけてください。
一緒に飛ぶトレーなナーたちがフルフェイスのヘルメットをつけている理由が終わった後に理解できました。

About 20 minutes up in the sky on a Cessna!
In no time, we were above the clouds.
The view from the airplane has a different kind of impact. 😭
As the divers were pushed out one after another, it was finally my turn...
There was no time to be scared as I dove into the air! ❗
Once you fall, the fear disappears, and you can enjoy it. 😅
It's an experience you won't regret having at least once in your life!

セスナに乗って上空へ、約20分！
あっという間に雲の上の景色へ。
飛行機から見る景色とはまた違う迫力があります😭
どんどん押し出されていくダイバー達に、ついに自分の番が…
怖がる暇もなく空中にダイブ❗
落ちてしまえば、恐怖はなく、楽しめると思います😅
人生で1度は体験して損はない！

During my first trip to Hawaii, I looked for activities and participated in a Cessna flying experience. You can make reservations via LINE from Japan, and the staff were very prompt and courteous in their responses. The flight included transportation from our hotel to the airport.

The staff were very kind and sensed the anxiety and tension that everyone feels about flying a Cessna. They first explained the principles of lift, operation methods, and instruments in a very helpful manner. During our session, two children took turns piloting, and we chose a plan that circled around Oahu, allowing us to get an overview of the entire island, including Honolulu.

We were able to see famous landmarks like Diamond Head, dolphins, whales, the high waves, people skydiving, former President Obama's childhood home, a wind farm, and aircraft carriers from above. I believe this is a unique experience that you can't find in other tours.

With the support of the pilot, we got to enjoy actual control of the aircraft during takeoff and turns. The pilot also assisted to minimize any turbulence. Since they provided support in Japanese, it felt reassuring, as if we were flying with a Japanese pilot in Japan.

During the flight, we could take photos and videos, and with a flight time of about two hours, we gathered plenty of data. The children were very satisfied, and it became a valuable experience for us.

The price may be higher than other activities, but the wonderful experience far exceeds that cost. The staff and pilots were very kind, and we felt their hospitality. Since it only takes about half a day, I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to fully enjoy their trip to Hawaii.

初めてのハワイ旅行でアクティビティを探していてセスナ操縦に参加しました。

I was scared at first, but once I dove in, I was amazed by the beauty of the ocean and the unknown world! It was an incredible experience!

怖さがありましたが、いざダイブすると、海のキレイさに感動し、未知の世界が！　貴重な体験をすることができてサイコーでした！

The flight lesson was an invaluable experience that far exceeded my expectations, and I was completely absorbed in it. At the same time, I learned about the difficulty of flying straight through the air. I was impressed by Captain Nomura's skills, experience, and the number of flights he has completed. Thank you for your support.
I want to fly in the sky again.
