Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Discover Hilo Tour - Volcanic Landscapes & Waterfalls

Only way to see Volcano

Reviewed by: Ray Family

Blue Hawaiian is the best. Flew with them on Oahu too and experience was just as good in Hilo. Having to pay to park at airport sucks. Other than that, it was perfect. Flight is super safe, never felt nervous about it. Jeremy was our pilot and was very friendly and kept us informed everything we saw and questions we had. We took several turns to ensure everyone could see the lava and got in close. It will rain in Hilo often but that's the norm, be prepared for possible rainy or cloudy conditions but they will fly around any rains. They are used to it.

Basically, well worth it, fly the Eco Star is most comfortable, don't let fear of flying be the reason you don't do this. None of the volcano ground tours will get you anywhere close to the action, this is the only way to see the volcano.

絶景スカイダイビング　一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動！ビデオ＆写真撮影付きプランあり　by ゴージャンプハワイ＜送迎付き＞

The most thrilling experience of my life! 人生で一番の絶叫体験！

Reviewed by: Yumi

I participated the day before my return from my stay in Hawaii. It took about an hour to drive to the diving spot on the North Shore, and when it was our turn, our paired instructor skillfully helped us put on our gear.

It seems that 14,000 feet is higher than Mount Fuji, and I was quite nervous as we ascended towards the jump point. However, once I jumped, my mind went completely blank, and at the same time, I was in awe of the view when I opened my eyes. It truly felt like I was a bird. After the parachute opened, we descended slowly, allowing us to fully enjoy the scenery. It was an absolutely amazing experience in my life! I definitely want to do it again when I come back to Hawaii!

ハワイ滞在の帰国日前日の参加でした。ノースショアのダイビングスポットまで約1時間車の中で揺られ自分たちの順番が来るとペアのインストラクターさんが手際よく装具をつけてくれました。
実際14000フィートは富士山よりも高いところらしくて落下するポイントまでどんどんあがっていく間はどきどき緊張していましたがいざ飛んでしまうと頭の中が真っ白になってしまうのと同時に目を開けたときの景色に感嘆してしまいました。まさに鳥になった感覚でした。パラシュートが開いてからはゆっくり下降していきますのでたっぷり景色を楽しめます。人生において本当にすばらしい体験をしました！またハワイにきたらぜひやりたいです！

It was the best time! 最高の時間でした！

Reviewed by: モグもん

My sister and I participated together! As soon as we arrived, we watched a DVD, and it felt like we took off into the sky about an hour after our turn came. We quickly ascended to 14,000 feet, and the moment we took off was a bit scary, but once we were flying, it was simply amazing. The scenery was absolutely stunning! The excitement made the fear completely disappear! The instructor was also kind, which made me feel safe to let go. The finished photos and DVD turned out really well, and the DVD was edited with music, making it a treasure. Everyone in the car had to wait until they flew before we could go back, but I think we ended up returning to the hotel around 2 PM. I think it's a good idea to plan to relax that day since the effects of gravity can really tire you out. I was a bit worried because there wasn't much information about valuables, but I was able to leave them at the reception, and there were no problems at all. I definitely want to do this again when I go to Hawaii! It was the best time! Thank you so much!

妹と二人で参加させていただきました！到着してすぐにDVDを鑑賞し、順番がきて着いて1時間ほどで空に飛びたったような気がします。
あっという間に14000フィートの高さまで上昇し、空に飛びたった瞬間は若干恐怖でしたが、飛んでからは気持ちいいの一言です。とにかく景色が最高でした‼︎その感動で恐怖はすっかり飛んでいきました！インストラクターの方も親切で安心して身を任せれました。完成した写真、DVDもとても良く撮れており、DVDは音楽など編集されていて、宝物になりました。車に乗った全員が飛ぶまで帰ることはできませんでしたが、結局ホテルに帰ったのが14時くらいだったと思います。重力？の影響なのか身体にどっと疲れがくるのでその日はまったり過ごす予定でいるのがいいと思います(^_^;)貴重品のことがあまり記載になかったので心配でしたが、受付に預けることができ、全く問題ありませんでした。ハワイに行ったらまたぜひやりたいと思います！最高の時間でした！ありがとうございました（≧∇≦）

Hana by Air & Land - Helicopter Flight & Semi-Private Sightseeing Tour Combo

Wow! What a Day!

Reviewed by: Ozzie's Mom

I will be forever grateful that a friend talked me out of renting a car and driving the Road to Hana. We are not spring chickens and weren't sure how we would like a helicopter trip to Hana with a road trip back to the cruise port in a 6-passenger luxury van. We knew we didn't want to do a 12-hour bus ride (cruise excursion) but we didn't want to miss Hana.

THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT!

We thoroughly enjoyed the helicopter flight to Hana and were able to see from the air the majesty of the island which would not have been as apparent from the land. Then we had a delicious lunch on the beach (provided by our tour guide, Surfer Sue) and experienced in all it's surface beauty, the road to Hana. There is no way we could have enjoyed this nearly as much had we driven both directions and certainly not at all had I decided to drive it myself. Sue taught me more about Hawaiian native flora and fauna than I would have learned in weeks on my own.

Because we wanted to make so many photo stops on the way back to port, we returned later than expected. Sue was kind enough to call the folks at Blue Hawaii Helicopters and ask them to send some articles we had purchased that morning and left behind at the shop for convenience sake, to us at the cruise port. No worries!

We could not have enjoyed this excursion any better than we did! Above and beyond treatment at every turn. Highly recommend for all ages.

You must experience it at least once before you die! 死ぬ前に一度は経験すべし！

Reviewed by: Sister's!!

If you're going to Hawaii, I highly recommend making a reservation for skydiving!! It was my sister and I's first time, so we were both excited and nervous...

The day before, the morning pickup time changed, so we found ourselves on the shuttle bus by 6:45 AM!! On the bus, we quietly signed documents (the hardest part was definitely filling out those forms, haha).

Since it was early in the morning, my sister and I fell asleep on the bus. When we woke up, we had arrived. After arriving, we submitted our documents and then just waited until our names were called!

We were the last group from our bus to jump, so we waited for almost two hours before it was our turn!! There were some snacks available for purchase, but the selection wasn't very large, so I think it's better to bring your own food!!

I think it's best to bring things to pass the time, like cards, books, or a pocket Wi-Fi!!

When our names were finally called and we got our name stickers, the instructor helped us put on our gear!! Since we had requested photos and videos, after getting suited up, another instructor took lots of pictures and did interviews with us!

Then, it was time to board the Cessna!! (O_O) It took about five minutes to reach our destination! From there, we just jumped one after another!

At that moment, the excitement was at its peak!! When we jumped out, the view was breathtaking! I couldn't even think about anything else and just kept shouting "Waaahhh!" during the free fall!! Out of nowhere, a cameraman appeared and took photos and videos of us!!

The free fall was over in an instant, but my feeling was, "Ahh, I'm alive!" It was so moving!

Once the parachute opened, we enjoyed the scenery to our heart's content!! The weather was great, and it was truly the best experience!!

After landing, we took our final thoughts on camera, and that was it!!

Afterward, we tipped the instructor (there's a personal box for that) and if asked, we wrote a message in the notebook in front of the box!

For those who requested photos and videos, as soon as you finish jumping, head to the room in front of the front desk, and your footage and photos will be playing there!! Then, you settle the payment and wait for the return bus!!

I fell asleep on the return bus too!! I didn't realize how tired I was, and after getting back to the hotel, we ended up sleeping for three hours!!

Also, since you can't predict the return bus time, I think it's best to have a flexible schedule on the day of skydiving!!

If you're someone who usually gets motion sickness, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication or bringing some with you. During the free fall, the instructor spins you around quite fast to make it fun! (If you're prone to motion sickness, this could be tough.) My sister was a bit anxious and asked the instructor not to spin too much at the beginning! The instructors were really kind, so if you talk to them in advance, they'll accommodate your requests! It's definitely best to voice any concerns you have!!

That said, it was truly a great experience, and even after returning to Japan, I've been laughing while watching the DVD!

I wholeheartedly believe everyone should experience this at least once before they die! It was so much fun!

ハワイ旅行にせっかく行くなら、と予約をしました！！スカイダイビング、姉妹共々初めてだったので、ワクワクドキドキと。。。

前日に朝のピックアップの時間が変更になったりで、朝6:45分には送迎のバスの中に居ました！！バスの中では書類に黙々とサインをし、(何が1番辛いってこの書類を書くのが辛かったです。)笑。

朝が早かったのでバスの中では、姉妹で爆睡でした。起きたら到着していました。到着した後は書類を提出し、そこからは自分の名前が呼ばれるまでただただ待ち続けます！笑

私たちは、同じバスで来た人たちの中でも最後のグループだったので飛ぶまでに2時間弱待ちました！！一応食べ物は売っていますが、種類はあまり多くないので自分で持って行く方が良いと思います！！

待ち時間の間(トランプ、本、ポケットWi-Fi)などを持って行くのがベストだと思います！！

いざ、自分たちの名前が呼ばれ名前のシールを貼ってもらうと担当のインストラクターの方が器具などを付けてくれます！！私たちは写真とビデオと頼んでいたので、器具を付けた後に別のカメラ担当のインストラクターの方がバシャバシャ写真とインタビューなどを撮ってくれます！

そして、いざセスナに！！(O_O)
セスナに乗って5分程で目的地に着きます！！そこからはただただ順番にバンバン落ちていきます！笑。

もうこの時は興奮度MAXです！！
いざ飛び出ると絶景！絶景！絶景！どこを見ても絶景！なんて余裕はなく、ただただ「うぁーーー！」とフリーフォール中はずっと叫んでいました！！笑。どこからともなくカメラマンさんがやってきて、写真や動画を撮ってくれます！！笑。

フリーフォールは本当にあっという間ですが、私の感想は「ああー生きてる〜〜」という感動でした♡♡！

パラシュートが開いてからは、景色を思う存分楽しみました！！お天気も良く本当に最高でした！！(^ ^)

陸に着いて、最後の感想をカメラマンさんに撮ってもらって終わりです！！

終わってからはインストラクターさんへチップを(個人の箱がある)を入れ、メッセージを書いて！とお願いされた場合は箱の前にあるノートにメッセージを書きます！

写真やビデオと頼んだ方は、飛び終わったらすぐにフロントの前の部屋に行くと、自分の映像や写真が流れています！！後はお会計をして、帰りのバスが出るまで待ちます！！

帰りのバスも爆睡でした！！思った以上に体が疲れていたのかホテルにかえってから私たちは3時間も爆睡してしまいました！！笑。

また帰りのバスの時間も読めないので、スカイダイビングの日はスケジュールに余裕を持った方が良いと思います！！

それから元々三半規管に自信がない方は酔い止めを飲んで行くか、持って行った方が絶対に良いと思います。フリーフォールの時に、インストラクターの方が楽しませてくれようとかなりの速さでぐるぐる回されます！(普段から乗り物などに酔ってしまう方はこれかなりキツイと思います)妹の方は不安だったようで、最初にインストラクターの方に、ぐるぐるはあまりしないで下さい！とお願いしていました！すごく優しいインストラクターの方々なので、事前に話をしておくと配慮してくれますよ！！不安なことは必ず言った方が良いです！！

それにしても本当に良い経験で、日本に帰ってからもDVDを見てゲラゲラ笑っています！＼(^o^)／笑。

死ぬ前に一度は経験した方が良い！と心から思います！！(^ ^)(^ ^)とっても楽しかったです♪

A long one minute. 長い１分間

Reviewed by: がみねよ

We flew together on our honeymoon.

On the first day, we couldn't fly due to bad weather and had to return, but on the second day, we were able to fly first.

The instructor, a cheerful young man, was very lively and spun us around, which made us a bit dizzy. I recommend having a light breakfast and then enjoying a snack from the lunch wagon afterward.

Above all, the driver and attendant, Masa (76 years old), was a highlight. Please sit in the front and listen to his silly stories.

Depending on the weather and the order of flights, there may be cases where you need to reschedule for the next day, so I think it's good to plan accordingly.

Hawaii is affordable for flying, so I plan to fly again when I come back. A short-sleeve shirt and shorts are perfect for comfort!

ハネムーンで、夫婦でとびました。

一日目は悪天候で飛べず帰ってきましたが、二日目は一番に飛ばせてもらえました。

インストラクターのおにいさんはとても陽気でのりのりで、ぐるんぐるんまわしてくれるので酔います。朝ごはんはほどほどに、終わってランチワゴンで、おやつがいいと思います。

なんといっても、ドライバー兼アテンダントのまささん(76才)は、ツボでした。
ぜひ、前の方に座ってしょうもないはなしをきいてあげてください。


天気や飛ぶ順番によって、翌日にリスケジュール担ってしまう場合もあるのでそれも加味して予定をくむといいと思います。


ハワイは、安く飛べるのでまた来たときには飛ぼうと思います。
半袖短パンはでよいので楽チンです！

The best experience! 最高の体験！

Reviewed by: coconuts

I had always wanted to go skydiving when I visited Hawaii, so this was a long-awaited experience for me.

A shuttle picked me up at the hotel, and it took about an hour by car on the highway. I signed the contract in the car, but when I saw the terms, I became anxious thinking, "Is it really this dangerous?!"

First, we watched a DVD for the explanation. The first group jumped relatively quickly, but due to bad weather and many clouds, we waited for about four hours. I didn't eat lunch because I didn't know when we would be able to jump, but there was a shop next door. Most people were so bored that they were sleeping.

If you're lucky, you can jump in the morning and return by noon. However, I had planned to leave around 3 PM from the beginning, so I wasn't disappointed.

Once on the plane, the jump happened in an instant. We jumped at the instructor's timing, so we fell before we even had time to feel scared. The moment of falling was so quick that I don't remember much, but I was able to see the sky from above the clouds and feel the wind, which was just exhilarating!

After the parachute opened, it was a wonderful feeling to slowly enjoy the beautiful sea, sky, and mountains.

We were supposed to jump from 4,000 meters, but due to the weather, we fell from 3,800 meters, so I got $30 back.

I gave a $20 tip to the instructor and a $5 tip to the driver on the way back.

It was an absolutely amazing experience! The moment I landed, I thought, "I want to do this again!" I looked into skydiving in Japan, but it costs about 30,000 yen, so I think experiencing it for around $200 is very cheap. I definitely want to do it again when I come to Hawaii! Next time, I plan to do it with a photographer.

ハワイに行ったらスカイダイビングがしたい！と思っていたので念願の体験でした。

ホテルまで送迎が来て、高速に乗り車で1時間くらい。車の中で契約書を書いたのですが、契約内容をみて「こんなに危険なの？！」と不安になりました。

最初にDVDで説明をみて、最初のグループは割と早く飛んだのですが、天気が悪く雲が多かったようで4時間くらい待ちました。いつ飛べるのか分からなくてお昼ご飯を食べなかったのですが、隣にお店がありました。暇すぎて寝ている人がほとんどでした。

運が良ければ朝に飛んで、午前中には帰れるみたいです。しかし、はじめから15時くらいに帰る予定だと思っていたのでがっかりはしませんでした。

飛行機に乗って飛ぶのはあっという間でした。インストラクターのタイミングで飛ぶので、怖い！と思う前に落ちます。落ちる瞬間はあっという間で、衝撃的すぎてあまり記憶はありませんが、雲より上から空をみれて、風を感じることができ、ただただ爽快感のみです！

パラシュートが開いてからは、綺麗な海と空と山をゆっくり眺めながらの飛行でとても気持ちがいいです。

4000メートルの予定でしたが、天候により3800メートルからの落下だったので30ドル帰ってきました。

インストラクターに20ドルのチップ、帰りにドライバーに5ドルのチップを渡しました。

とっても最高の経験になりました！降りた瞬間に、またやりたい！と思い、日本のスカイダイビングを調べたのですが、3万円くらいしたので、200ドル程度で体験できるのはとっても安いと思います。ハワイに来たときは絶対にまた体験したいです！次はカメラマン付きで体験しようと思います。

Mr. Bill's Glider Ride

I would highly recommend taking a glider ride up on the North Shore of Oahu to everyone. It was a bucket list item for me and did not disappoint. Very professional staff and my pilot Sean was exceptional. He let me take the controls for about five minutes of the ride. The views are spectacular. Very affordable and the best 20-30 minutes you will spend in the Islands. Be sure and take a Go Pro camera or do I as did and rent one from the glider folks. I have a great DVD of my entire flight.

The view is the best, surpassing the pain. 痛みも超えて最高の眺め

Reviewed by: よしやん

It was quite scary when one person after another fell, but once I started flying, the excitement was incredible and I had a lot of fun. The only downside was that the buckle in the crotch area hit my testicles through my pants and it was painful, but overall, the people who jumped with me and the cameraman were cheerful and made it enjoyable.

一人また一人と落ちて行った時はかなり怖かったですが、飛んでからは興奮の方が凄くて、楽しかったです。ただ股の所の留め具がズボン越しに睾丸に当たって痛かったのが唯一の汚点ですが、全体的には一緒に飛んでくれる人もカメラマンも陽気で楽しませてくれました。

It was amazing, but unfortunately, I couldn't take any photos... What a shame. 最高でしたが、写真が撮れていなかった・・・残念

Reviewed by: ケンケンパパ

After reading this experience, I mustered the courage to sign up, and it was definitely the right decision. Normally, I can't handle roller coasters and I have a fear of heights, but this was completely different. I believe the sense of security I felt came from reading this review, which made me feel no fear at all.

Since I opted for a rental car instead of shuttle service, I arrived after 9 AM and found that the group with shuttle service had already arrived, so I had to wait until about 10:30 for my dive. During that time, we only watched a simple DVD, which might seem a bit lackluster, but I knew from this review that such a level of knowledge was sufficient, so I didn't feel anxious.

When it was finally my turn to board the plane and dive, I was filled with excitement. Since I was last in line on the plane, I had the chance to enjoy the scenery and watch others jump out. At the moment of the dive, I was instructed to lift my chin and was pushed back, so I didn't look down when I jumped. I didn't feel the fear of jumping into empty space; it felt like an immediate experience of weightlessness from free-falling.

I signed up for the DVD and photos as an additional option, but unfortunately, none of the photos were taken, so I deducted one star. Additionally, the cameraman came close during the free fall and held my hand for a while, which prevented me from seeing the surrounding scenery, which was a bit disappointing.

After the parachute opened, the cameraman needed to land first to capture the scenery and our landing moment, so we descended slowly.

On a windy day, there might be severe swaying, but the descent was at a level of rolling for the sake of the view and a bit of thrill, so I didn't experience any motion sickness.

Regarding tips, after landing, we were immediately taken to the tip box area, where we were prompted to pay tips into boxes for each instructor and cameraman. I think it’s better to pay the cameraman's tip after checking the photos and video, unlike the instructor. In the viewing room, we watched the footage, and then paid for the options at the counter, where I was informed that no photos were taken. Since multiple people's data was displayed in the viewing room, I thought mine was just not playing, but I learned at the final payment that there was a shooting error. It would be wise to confirm that before heading to the tip box area. I ended up tipping generously in my high spirits after landing, but later felt I had overpaid the cameraman.

If you go by rental car, you can complete your payment and leave right away, but those with shuttle service seemed to wait around after their dive until the bus to Waikiki, which only departs once a day after 12 PM. To make the most of your time, it’s best to go by rental car and enter around 8:30 AM before the shuttle group arrives.

この体験談を見て勇気をだして申し込みましたが、大正解でした。
普段はジェッタコースター系も乗れないし、高所恐怖症でもあったのですが、
これは全くの別物でした。
この安心感もほぼこの体験談を読んでいたことで、全く恐怖感を感じなかったからだと思います。

送迎なしにしてレンタカーで行きましたので、9時過ぎに到着し、既にバス送迎付組が到着していたので、その後でのダイブとなりましから10時半ごろまで待ちました。
その間簡単なDVDを見るだけでしたので、いい加減に感じるところかもしれませんが
この体験談で、そんな知識レベルで十分であることを知っていましたので、不安に感じませんでした。

いざ順番になり飛行機に乗り込みダイブするまで、どちらかというとワクワク感でいっぱいでした。その機内での順番が最後だったので、ゆっくり景色を見たり、どんどん飛び出していくのを見てからでした。ダイブの瞬間は顎を上にあげるようにと、おでこを後ろに押されるので、下を見ていない瞬間に飛び出すので、何もない空間に飛び出す恐怖も感じることはなく、いきなりフリーフォールによる無重力体験のようでした。

追加オプションでDVDと写真を申し込んだのですが、残念ながらその写真が全く撮れていなかったので★を1つマイナスとしました。
また、そのカメラマンがフリーフォール中に近づいてきて、しばらくの間手をつないでくるのですが、そのことで周りの景色が見れなかったのも少し残念です。

パラシュートを開いてからは、景色を見せるためや、こちらの着地の瞬間を撮影するためにカメラマンを先に着地させる必要があるので、ゆっくりと降下していきます。

おそらく風の強い日だと横揺れがひどいのかもしれませんが、景色のためと少しのスリルのためにローリングしながらの降下というレベルでしたので、乗り物酔いという感覚は出ませんでした。

■チップについて
着地後は、すぐにチップ箱コーナーに連れて行かれ、インストラクター及びカメラマンのところの各人の名前の箱にチップの支払いを促されますが、インストラクターは別として、カメラマンのチップの支払いは、写真とビデオの確認してからでいいと思います。
試写室で映像を見てその後カウンターでオプションの代金支払いとなりますが、その時に写真が撮れていなかったと説明されました。試写室では複数の人のデータが次々映し出されますので、自分のものが再生されていないだけで撮れている思っていましたが、最後の受付での支払い時に撮影ミスと説明されましたので、そこを確認してからチップ箱コーナーに行き、支払うほうが賢明です。
自分は、着地後のハイテンションのままチップをはずんだのですが、後からカメラマンに対しては払いすぎたと感じてしまいました。
チップコーナーには連れて行かれますが、すぐにその場を離れていきますので、ゆっくり後からでも支払いはできます。

■レンタカーで行くとすぐに支払完了で帰れますが、バス送迎付組は早く来てもダイブ後は1日1回の12時過ぎのワイキキ方面バスが出るまで退屈そうに待っていました。
時間を有効に使うにはレンタカーで行き、バス送迎付組組到着前の8時半ごろエントリーがベストでないでしょうか。

This was my third time in Hawaii, and I finally got to go skydiving! It was incredibly fun!!!

I filled out the paperwork in the car and then fell asleep until we arrived at the center. Once we got there, we watched a safety video and waited for our turn. When I requested photos, a photographer joined us and started filming even before we jumped. (They can take both photos and videos.)

We took a small plane and went higher than I expected, and then we dropped in an instant. It's a shame that there weren't many photos with me looking at the camera, as I couldn't see where the photographer was. But the guide was definitely looking at the camera, which was funny.

Once the parachute opened, there was a detailed explanation of what we could see, and the beautiful scenery spread out before us.

After landing, they showed the videos in order, and my friends and I had a good laugh while waiting for the footage. After checking the video, I decided to buy it too! (But in the end, I just got the photos.)

We had to wait until noon for the return bus, so there was quite a bit of waiting time, but it was enjoyable to watch others jump and land♪

If I have the chance to go again, I would definitely like to participate!

Honolulu Airplane Flight School Lesson & Scenic Sightseeing Tour

WOW !!!!!

Reviewed by: Janet Wright

My husband arranged for this experience for our 35th Wedding Anniversary and he and my 28 year old daughter flew with me. It was truly the most exhilarating and awesome experience I have ever had and I have swum with sharks, skydived, done the Olympic bobsleigh run in Latvia and been in a submarine.
This was my first experience at the controls of a Piper Alpha and I felt fully involved from the moment I sat in the Pilot's seat. Masa, my Instructor, explained things to me in such a clear and concise way that I soon realised I was comfortable following his instructions. With both props roaring, he told me to just 'follow the yellow line' and it really was just like driving a car.
Taxiing out to the runway as Hawaiian Airlines jets were approaching for landing rendered me speechless and after opening up the throttle on the runway, that moment of easing back the yolk for take-off was indescribable.
As we ascended and the sheer magnificence of the scenery opened out below me I could hardly believe that I was actually flying the aeroplane. He was pointing out landmarks and asking me to head towards them, telling me when to lose or gain altitude by using the altometer.
The whole experience was breathtaking but the best moment of all was when I was making the approach for the landing. By that time I really felt as if I was in control and as I descended slowly, the realisation that I was making the landing was almost surreal. There was a very comforting 'bump' as the undercarriage met the runway and we taxied to a stop.
Don't hesitate to book this experience.
I absolutely loved it and can't wait to do it again !

It's simply wonderful!! I wasn't scared at all. Even those who are afraid of heights will have their fears blown away by the amazing views. The scenery is truly breathtaking, and it liberates both body and mind; it was the best experience of my life.

Also, the instructors (Montana) and the photographer (Maynard) on the day were very friendly and reliable. The staff worked well as a team. The Japanese guide was also kind.

The photos and videos are truly fantastic, so I definitely recommend purchasing them as a package for those who will be flying. If you say a few words with a smile to the photographer in advance and express your preferences for angles, I feel they might provide a little extra service. That was my experience. Just a tip!

素晴らしいの一言です！！私はまったくこわくなかったです。高いところが恐い人も、景色の素晴らしさに恐怖が吹き飛ぶと思います。本当に素晴らしい景色ですし、身も心も解放されます、人生で一番の経験でした。

また当日のインストラクター(Montanaさん)とカメラマン(Maynardさん)がとてもフレンドリーで頼もしいです。スタッフのチームプレーがうまく取れてる感じでした。日本語ガイドさんも親切です。

そして写真、ビデオも本当に素晴らしい内容なので、飛ばれる方は絶対セットで購入されることをお勧めします。
あらかじめカメラマンに一言ふたこと笑顔で声をかけて、写真のアングルとか要望すれば少し奮発サービスしてくれる気がします。私がそうでした。ご参考までに！

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Discover Hilo Tour - Volcanic Landscapes & Waterfalls

Mountain on Fire

Reviewed by: Gerry

Kilauea does what it wants, but the only way to really get an idea of what that is is to see it by helicopter. I've done that on two occasions a couple of years apart. This tour was by far superior to the previous one. While we covered essentially the same territory, our pilot on this trip was pleasant, knowledgeable, and very professional. At the end of the tour, we had a much better understanding of the nature of the mountain; and the waterfalls, too, were majestic.

Magnum Doors-Off Helicopter Tour - Oahu Island Scenic Flight from Honolulu

Great Experience with Makani Kai Helicopters

Reviewed by: hawaii_visitor

Me and my 9 year old son took this helicopter tour on September 5, 2014 and we had a great experience not only with the tour itself but also with the customer service provided by Makani Kai Helicopters. We really appreciate them accommodating our last minute booking. Pilot Broody was great and also provided a very good narrative of the places that we had seen. Since their shuttles were out at the end of our tour, they actually sent us back to our hotel in cab rather than making us wait for the next shuttle. we will highly recommend Makani Kai Helicopters.

Reviewed by: きなこ

I did it with my husband! He was more scared than I was, but after he jumped, he had a pretty relaxed expression. By the way, my husband was only comfortable with Disney's roller coasters, but I forced him to do this, haha. For me, Fujiyama is the scariest attraction I've ever been on. It was so funky and turned out to be an amazing memory!! It's much cheaper than doing it in Japan, so I highly recommend it!!

旦那と一緒にやりました！
私よりびびってた旦那も飛んだあとはかなり余裕の表情でした。
ちなみに旦那はディズニーのジェットコースターが限界でしたが無理やりやらせました笑
私もフジヤマが今まで乗った最高に怖いアトラクションです。
とってもファンキーで最高の思い出になりました！！
日本でやるよりかなり安いし、お勧めです！！

Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tours from Honolulu - Oahu Circle Island Flights

Awesome Experience

Reviewed by: Oregon Mom

We stayed in Oahu for a week and it wasn't enough time visit all the placed that I had panned. The helicopter tour was a great way to see the entire island within an hour. The pilot talked about all the major points of the island. Especially looking down the Pearl Harbor was an experience that I never forget.

Skydiving スカイダイビング

Reviewed by: ゆたちゃん

First of all, the diving itself was a very enjoyable experience. However, the following points should be noted by those who will participate in the future.

【Complaint】
The website lists a local phone number for inquiries, so when I contacted them in Hawaii on the day, I received a completely careless response. When I asked for the department and name, I was told, "I'm just an interpreter!" and was hung up on. The operator should be contacted immediately and should be fired before it becomes a major issue. It was extremely rude and completely unhelpful.

【Points to Note】
1. Pay attention to the weather. In summer, due to typhoons and wind conditions, there are many days when you may not be able to fly even if you have made a reservation. We barely managed to fly.
2. Pay attention to the transportation. If the pickup is 10 minutes late, they will leave without notice. Additionally, the return time is completely unpredictable, and we had to wait for quite a long time. We waited for nearly 3 hours. Even then, there was no sign of them coming to pick us up, so I requested to drive if they could lend me the keys, and only then did they reluctantly send a van to pick us up with 10 tour participants. If I hadn't made that request, how long would we have waited? By the way, it takes nearly 2 hours by car from Waikiki, and the actual diving time is about 4 minutes.
3. Pay attention to the contract. Before flying, we were made to sign a contract stating that we would not complain even if we died, which was very favorable only to the organizer. This information was not included in the tour details and could only be understood on-site. Even if there was a mistake on the part of the operator in case of an accident, it was a one-sided waiver of responsibility. Moreover, we were not given a copy of the signed document. If a participant were a lawyer, they would likely give up on the experience on-site.
4. The tips are too high. In addition to the tour fee, we were required to pay $20 each to the person who flew with us, as well as to a photographer and a pilot we did not request, totaling $60. Isn't tipping supposed to be optional?

The participants were mostly Japanese in their early twenties, and I, at 49, was quite rare. I was more scared of the contract than the diving itself. The 20-year-old girl I experienced it with was happily satisfied.

まず、ダイビング自体は非常に楽しい良い経験でした。しかし、下記事項はこれから参加される方はよく留意してください。
【クレーム】
HPに現地電話での問合せ先がのっているので当日ハワイで連絡したら、全くいい加減な対応で部署と名前を問ったところ、私は単なる通訳だ！と逆ギレされ、一方的に切られた。運営者は直ちに連絡して大きなトラブルになる前にクビにした方がいい。失礼極まりなく何の役にも立たない。
【留意点】
①天候に注意。夏は台風など風の影響で、申し込んでも現場迄行って飛べない日が多々ある。私達はギリなんとか飛べた。
②送迎に注意。迎えは時間10分遅れると連絡なく行ってしまう。また、帰りは全く時間読めず、かなりの時間待たされる。私達は3時間近く待たされた。それでも送る気配ないので、車かしてくれたら運転するよと鍵の受渡を依頼して、初めてOKと苦笑って送りのワゴンを出しツアー参加者10名乗せ動いた。申立しなかったら、何時間待たされたのだろう？因みにワイキキから片道2時間近く車でかかり、ダイビング自体の飛行時間は4分程。
③契約書に注意。飛ぶ前に、死んでも一切文句言わない、などのかなり主催者だけ都合いい契約書にサインさせられ、しないと飛べない。その事はツアー内容に情報が全くなく、現地でしか分からない。もし事故が運営側でミスあった場合でも責任放棄の一方的内容。しかもサインした書面控えはこちらに渡されない。参加者の職業が弁護士なら、必ず現地で体験を諦めるであろう。
④チップ高すぎ。ツアー費用以外に一緒に飛んでくれる方だけでなく、頼んでいないカメラマン、パイロットと各20ドル合計60ドル支払を必須求められる。チップは任意支払ではないのか？

参加者は9割20歳前半未満の日本人、私は49歳で珍しく、ダイビングより契約書内容が怖かった。
一緒に体験した20歳の彼女は、喜んで満足げであった。

I was extremely nervous for my first skydiving experience. However, waiting for me upon arrival was a very cheerful instructor who kept me laughing the whole time, and then there was Sesame, who appeared with great enthusiasm. Before I knew it, I was on Sesame, heading up into the sky.

I encourage you to experience it for yourself. It takes a little time to get there, but the excitement after doing it is definitely worth it!

初のスカイダイビングで、ど緊張だったわたし。
でも、到着した私を待っていたのは、とてもにこやかな笑顔で終始笑かしてくれたインストラクターの方、そしてさっそうと現れたセサミ。「のってのって！」とあっという間にセサミに乗り込み、上空へ。
その後の体験はぜひご自身でどうぞ。
行くまでの時間は少しかかりますが、やった後の感動は要チェックです！

Doors-Off Paradise Helicopter Tour & Landing from Kapolei [Not Operating]

A "Must" Experience!

Reviewed by: Shannon & Bryce

Wow, we had the best time flying with Sandy and felt comfortable the entire time! The view from above is amazing and being in a helicopter is a "must" experience... And this is coming from someone afraid of flying! Great to see the Sacred Waterfall up close, the USS Arizona under water with the oil leak drifting off was unique, and just the mountains and valleys and ocean views are all beyond beautiful! I'd do it again...

A ring of rainbow appeared below while falling. 落下中、眼下に虹の輪が。

Reviewed by: モーニング平

I participated alone.

I was picked up at the hotel around 7 AM and arrived at the airport around 9 AM. Since I was a solo traveler and did not request photo or video services, I boarded the plane quickly and was the first to jump. I was on the ground by 9:30 AM.

It may have been a coincidence, but during the fall, I was able to enjoy the wonderful sight of a rainbow ring below me.

As mentioned in other people's experiences, after the parachute opened, the diver seemed to have a spirit of service and did some spins. It was fun to see the scenery, but I started to feel a bit nauseous after about three spins, so when I mentioned, "I get airsick easily," they stopped the unnecessary spins. You can communicate with the diver even during the fall, so I think it's good to discuss this while in the air. (They can have simple conversations in Japanese, but they're not fluent, so it might be better to consult in broken English.)

The return bus departed for Waikiki around 12:30 PM and arrived in Waikiki around 1:40 PM.

I recommend bringing something to pass the time. It seemed there were no free Wi-Fi spots at the airport.

一人で参加しました。

朝7時ごろホテルでピックアップされ、9時頃に飛行場に到着。
一人客かつ写真やビデオ撮影を申し込まなかったためか、すぐに飛行機に乗り1番目にジャンプ。9時30分には地上にいました。

たまたまかもしれませんが、落下中、眼下に虹の輪が見えたりとすばらしい光景を楽しむことが出来ました。

他の方の体験談にもありましたが、パラシュートが開いた後、ダイバーの方はサービス精神なのか、くるくると旋回をしてくれます。景色が見られて楽しいですが、自分は3回やられたあたりで気持ち悪くなりそうだったので、「I get airsick easily」と相談したら、以降は不要な旋回はやめてくれました。
一緒に飛んでくれるダイバーの方とは落下中でも会話が可能ですので、空中でその辺りは相談するのがいいと思います。（簡単な日本語会話はしてくれますが、日本語ペラペラではありませんので、片言でも英語で相談したほうが良さそう。）

帰りのバスは12時30分ごろワイキキに向けて出発、13時40分ごろにはワイキキに到着していました。

何かしらの暇つぶしを持って行くことをおすすめします。飛行場には無料のWi-Fiスポットはなさそうでした。

I'm not good with thrill rides and usually don't ride them, but I decided to challenge myself for his sake...

I was encouraged by everyone's reviews!!!
(I had a faint hope that it might be canceled due to the typhoon, though, lol)

I bought motion sickness medication the day before, and off I went.

The shuttle driver was really funny♪
And all the divers were truly handsome! Haha

We took a helicopter up into the sky. I didn't feel alive at all (>_<)

It doesn't matter about your mental preparation. It's all about your buddy's timing! Considering the cloud conditions, etc...

The moment we dropped, I thought, "I'm dead," but during the free fall, I experienced a world at 200 kilometers per hour. I felt no nausea; I cleared that!

The moment the parachute opened, we shot up, but that was the worst... It was scarier than when we were falling, lol.

I thought I might feel sick, but I was breathless at the stunning view below.
I'm glad I could experience this in Hawaii.
The sky, the sea, the greenery—nature is truly beautiful.

I only bought the photos.
They were expensive, so I skimped on the video, but I kind of regret not buying it after returning home (*^_^*) because it was really pricey! Photos and video cost $180.

I had heard that contact lenses can fly away, so I brought mine. Maybe the goggles weren't on properly, but my left lens disappeared somewhere.

After it was over, I had an acai bowl from a cart nearby!
It was delicious♪ A reward for myself for doing my best♪

Finally, I received a certificate, which made me feel really happy (^o^)

私は絶叫系の乗り物が苦手でほぼ乗らないのですが、彼の希望で挑戦することに…

みなさんの口コミで背中を押されました！！！
（台風の影響でなくなるかな、なんて淡い期待もしちゃいましたがｗ）

酔い止めを前日に買い、いざ出陣。


送迎のおじさん面白かったな♪
そして、ダイバーの方たちは、本当にみんなイケメンでした！笑

ヘリコプターで上空へ。生きている心地がしなかった(>_<)

自分の心の準備とか関係ないんですね。バディの方のタイミング！雲の状況等を考えて。。。

落下した瞬間「死んだ」って思ったけど、フリーホールの時間は時速200キロの世界を体感。気持ち悪さもなく、ここはクリア！

パラシュートが開いた瞬間一気に上昇するのだが、それがだめだった…落下しているときより怖かったｗ

気持ち悪いとおもったけど、目下の絶景に息を呑みました。
ハワイで体験できてよかったなって思った。
空も海も緑も、自然て本当にきれいだなと感じました。

写真だけ購入しました。
高かったから動画はケチってしまったけれど、購入すればよかったかなと帰国してからちょっと後悔(*^_^*)だってめちゃ高いんだもん！写真と動画で180＄。


コンタクトレンズが飛ぶって聞いたことがあったので持っていきました。ゴーグルの仕方があまかったのか、左目だけどこかへ消えました。



終わった後、脇にあるワゴンでアサイボールを食べました！
おいしかったな♪がんばった自分へのご褒美です♪

最後に証書ももらって、うれしい気分になりました(^o^)
