All Reviews for Helicopter & Airplane Tours

We'll worth it,very informative pilot,smooth flight,very professional.

Enjoyed Wayne's, (the driver)knowledge of Maui & ability to navigate smoothly the route to Hana. Spectacular view of the crater was well worth the experience. Wouldn't hesitate to endorse this activity. Aloha

Absolutely worth every cent. The front desk was friendly and accommodating. The ride was smooth and informative. The views were otherwise inaccessible. Take the trip. See what makes this island a living thing. Blessings!

On the last day of our honeymoon, we decided to try skydiving. We took a bus from our hotel to the diving point. During the ride, we had to sign several waivers stating that we would take full responsibility for anything that happened. It's important to be careful not to get car sick during this time. If there are any mistakes in the paperwork, you will be the last to jump, so be cautious about that.

Upon arrival, those who completed their paperwork correctly get priority in the lineup. We met our foreign instructor, who helped us put on the harness and equipment. My instructor was kind and explained everything clearly using some Japanese words.

Since we opted for photos and videos, a cameraman also joined us on the Cessna. As we ascended higher and higher, my excitement grew.

Once we reached the target altitude, it was finally time to dive. The moment I jumped is still vividly etched in my memory. After the parachute opened, the instructor made some turns, which surprisingly made me feel a bit nauseous. But we landed safely. It all happened so quickly, but it was the best experience.

Afterward, I tipped the instructor and the cameraman $20 each and checked the completed photos and videos. I decided to purchase both as a once-in-a-lifetime keepsake. The total cost was about 20,000 yen for one person.

Even after I finished my jump, we couldn't leave until everyone who came on the bus had completed their jumps. We had to wait for about three hours, which was a bit tough.

Overall, I was very satisfied. It's a memory of a lifetime and something to brag about, so I highly recommend it.

新婚旅行の最終日のオプションでスカイダイビングに挑戦しました。宿泊ホテルから迎えのバスでダイビングポイントへ。車中で「何があっても責任は自分にあります。」的な誓約書を何枚も書かされます。その際、車酔いしないように注意が必要です。この書類記入に漏れがあると飛ぶのが1番後回しにされるのでこれも注意。
到着し、書類記入合格者優先で順番がまわってきます。相棒となる外国人インストラクターと合流し、ハーネスやら器具を装着します。自分の担当の方は親切で、日本語の単語を使ってわかりやすく説明してくれました。
写真とビデオをオプションで付けたので、カメラマンも同行でセスナ機に乗り込みます。どんどん地上から離れていくだけで興奮してきます。
目標高度まで着いていよいよダイブ。飛び降りる瞬間の光景は今でも目に焼き付いています。パラシュートが開いてからインストラクターが気を利かせてか、旋回させます。それが思いのほか気持ち悪くなりました。そして無事着地。あっという間です。でも最高の体験です。
その後、インストラクター、カメラマンに20ドルずつチップBOXにチップを入れ、完成した写真とビデオを確認します。一生に一度の記念にどちらも購入しました。1人合計で2万くらいです。
自分が飛び終わってもバスで一緒にきた人たち全員が飛び終わるまでは帰れません。ひたすら待機です。私たちは3時間くらい待ちました。その点がしんどかったです。
全体的には満足でした。一生の思い出、一生の自慢になりますのでオススメです。

Although the clouds rolled in and it was crowded, resulting in a long wait time of about four hours, I was so excited that I forgot all about it in an instant. Unfortunately, the camera of the photographer who accompanied me was malfunctioning, so we couldn't capture any photos while flying, but the video turned out well, so I purchased it. I was able to enjoy the scenery while flying, and even though it was scary, I felt it was worth it. I had some trouble with ear equalization, so my ears hurt for a while afterward, and I felt a bit nauseous, but I am filled with the desire to do it again.

雲がかかってしまったり、混んでたのもあって、待ち時間が4時間とかなり長かったですが、そんなことも一瞬で忘れてしまうほどに大興奮しました。
残念ながら、私についてくれたカメラマンのカメラの調子が悪く、飛んでいる時の写真が撮れなかったのですが、ビデオは良く撮れていたので購入しました。
飛んでいる間もしっかり景色を楽しむこともでき、怖かったけどやってよかったと思います。
耳抜きがうまくできなかったので、終わってからもしばらく耳が痛かったのと、少しだけ気持ち悪くなってしまいましたが、またやりたい気持ちでいっぱいです。

I had run out of ideas for activities in Hawaii for this trip. Just before the departure date, I discovered this plan! Once I found it, I really wanted to try it, so I signed up immediately! Without hesitation, I registered here, and there were no issues with the pickup and transportation. All the instructors were foreigners, but I was able to understand them well with their broken Japanese and gestures. The weather was great on the day, and I had the best "dive" experience!

ハワイのアクティビティも思い浮かばなくなっていた今回の旅行。
出発日ギリギリでしたが、このプランを発見！そうとなればどうしても飛んでみたくなり、即申込み！
迷うことなく、こちらに申込みましたがピックアップから送迎までなんの問題もありません。
また、インストラクターは全て外人ではありましたが、カタコトの日本語と身振り手振りで充分理解できました。
当日は天気も良く最高の「ダイブ」を体験出来ました！

Awesome!!!!! Can't wait to do it again, fantastic scenery, crew and experience. Would have loved to have been able to just kept going up and jumping again and again and again

This was my first skydiving experience after turning 40.

First, the staff member on the bus across from us, I really liked him. His stories were so unique that I gradually lost my sense of fear.

Honestly, I was quite nervous.

Since it was tandem, I just went with the flow, but as mentioned in other experiences, the first seven seconds felt like I was going to die. Once I went into a dive, my mouth went "Gua!" and after the parachute opened, it felt amazing.

I think it would be tough to jump alone, but I also had a desire for freedom.

The magnificent scenery of Hawaii surely takes away your anxiety. I used to love extreme activities, but recently I've been scared of flying.

That's how it is.

I highly recommend jumping from 4000 meters instead of just 2000 meters.

40過ぎて初の空体験です。
まず、お向かいのバスのスタッフのおじいちゃん。
大好きです。
話がとてもとてもユニークでいつの間にか恐怖感がなくなっていました。

正直かなりビビってました。

タンデムなのでもう成り行きでいたが、他の体験談にも書いてあるように、落ちて７秒くらいは死ぬ思いでした。
エビぞりになってからは口が「グアッ」っとなり、パラシュートが開いてからすっごく気持ちよかったです。

たぶん一人で落下は厳しいですが、自由になりたい気持ちもありました。

ハワイの雄大な景色が不安を取ってくれるのでしょう。
昔は無茶が大好きでしたが、最近は飛行機も怖い。

それがこの通りです。

ぜひ２千メートルなんて言わずに4000メートルからおちてください。

お薦めです。

This is an excellent way to see the island. The pilot was friendly and informative. The crew to include the bus driver were great people and very helpful. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

The airplane tour was the highlight of our trip. The scenery was beyond our expectations. It was just beautiful. Josh, the pilot, explained everything to us as we passed by the different areas. Josh is a very professional person and very engaging. I would recommend this trip to everyone.

This was the most trilling adventure I have ever done!! I highly recommend it!! My son and I had the time of our lives!! The staff was great and the sights were amazing!! So breathtaking!! I was so scared however it was amazing! I will so be coming again!!

Skydiving was amazing! The panoramic view of Hawaii from above was incredibly beautiful! The diver was kind and made me feel safe, so I had no worries at all! I definitely want to do this again when I come back to Hawaii!
The shuttle car was quite bumpy, so be careful if you get motion sickness...
Also, the time between jumping and the shuttle pickup was long, so I recommend bringing some snacks!
The scenery was truly breathtaking!
Thank you!

スカイダイビング最高でした！上からパノラマで見るハワイはとっても美しいかった！ダイバーさんも親切で安心感があり不安に思うことはありませんでした！ぜひまたハワイに来た際にはお願いします！！
送迎の車は揺れが激しいので、車酔いに注意かな…
あとは飛んでから送迎してくれるまでの時間が長いので、何か食べ物を持っていくことをオススメします！
本当に最高の景色でした！
ありがとう！

This was one of our favorite things that we did while we were in Kauai(and we did a lot!). The flight was beautiful! I can't even put into words how amazing this was. I was a little apprehensive about being in a plane versus the helicopter but I was happy with the decision we made. I saw helicopters along the tour and they do get a little closer to the waterfalls and mountains but there is something truly amazing about getting a zoomed out view of Kauai, I feel like I got to see more of the island this way. In addition to the scenery, the pilot was extremely nice and knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable throughout the whole flight. Furthermore, the other staff at Wings over Kauai were AMAZING! They have a few surprises for their guests that I won't ruin here, but I will say that they are very generous! I HIGHLY recommend this activity to everyone!!!

Peter and the crew at the Hilo Airport provided not only a safe but exciting flight.

I participated alone.
There were many women who also joined alone, so I didn't feel embarrassed about participating by myself.
When jumping from the sky, I didn't feel scared at all. It was a refreshing feeling.
As for advice, I think it's better to keep photos and videos.
The price is on the higher side, but you won't regret it.

一人で参加しました。
女性でも一人で参加の方も多く、逆に一人での参加も恥ずかしくありませんでした。笑
上空から飛び降りる時は、全く怖くありません。清々しい気持ちです。
アドビスとしては、写真やビデオは残しておいた方がいいと思います。
価格は高めですが、後悔はしないはずです。

wonderful experience upgraded to ultimate package well worth the extra $$$

It was an incredibly fun and happy time. I was amazed by the breathtaking views and the skydiving experience!! The instructors were all veterans, so I felt safe and enjoyed myself.

If I ever go to Hawaii again, I will definitely go skydiving once more!

最高に楽しく幸せな時間でした。絶景と空中遊泳に感激！！
インストラクターさんもみなさん、ベテランで安心して楽しめました。

いつかまたハワイに行ったらもう一度、スカイダイビングしちゃいます！

Overall, the sky is amazing. However, I ended up feeling unwell (~_~;) After flying, I experienced nausea and dizziness! This time, about 20 people flew at the same time, and only two of us felt sick... I was one of them. But the sky is truly wonderful. Everyone should try flying at least once.

Now, regarding the passage of time, we went to the site by rental car, but since we arrived after the tour, we had to fill out paperwork afterward and ended up waiting about two and a half hours before flying. It seems that during busy seasons, the wait can be even longer. Therefore, if you're going by rental car, it's better to arrive before the tour groups show up. They say to arrive by 8:30, but I think getting there before 7:30 would allow you to fly sooner.

At the site, there's an 80-year-old man named Masa who manages the Japanese guests. However, since he also handles the tour pickups, there are no Japanese speakers around during that time. If you’re told to wait by the foreign girl at the reception, you might end up waiting over an hour without being called. So, I think it's better to speak up, even with broken English, and push your way in.

The order in which you fly is mostly determined by the order in which you submit your paperwork, so once you arrive, make sure to get the forms and fill them out. As long as you're feeling well, I think it will be a fantastic experience. Oh, and don't forget to give Masa a tip. He's a really nice old man!

基本、空は素晴らしいです。ただ自分はやられちゃいました(~_~;)
飛んだ後に吐き気とめまい！今回は約２０人位が同じ時間帯に飛んだのですが、やられちゃった人が2人でした。。その中の1人です。。でも空は素晴らしいですよ。。皆さんも一度は飛んでみてください。。　
さて、時間の経過ですが自分達は2人でレンタカーで現地に行ったのですがツアーの後に着いたので記入書類がその後になり飛ぶまでに２時間半位は待ちました。繁盛記だともっと待つようです。。　ですのでレンタカーで行く人はツアーの人たちがくるまでに現地に到着した方が良いでしょう。８時半までに来てください。とありますが７時半前には行った方が早く飛べると思います。　現地では８０歳？のおじいちゃんでマサさんという人が日本人を仕切ってくれていますがツアーの送迎もやっているので送迎中は日本人はいませんから、受付の外人の女の子に待っててと言われてそのままにしていると平気で１時間以上も声がかからないですからﾌﾞﾛｰｸﾝｲﾝｸﾞﾘｯｼｭでもどんどん声をかけて捻じ込んでいった方が良いと思います。
現地で書類を記入して提出した順番で飛ぶ順番がほぼ決まりますので、現地に着いたらますは記入書類を手に入れて記入してください。
体調さえ良ければ素晴らしい体験になると思います。そうそうマサさんにもチップを上げてくださいね。。とっても良いおじいちゃんですからね。。

Skydiving itself was the best experience. It was an amazing experience that went by in the blink of an eye! I was already moved by the beautiful scenery as we ascended in the Cessna, but the sensation of falling through the clouds was something I had never experienced before, and it was strangely pleasant. After the parachute opened, it felt just like a walk in the sky. Combined with the excitement of falling, I was shouting "awesome! awesome!"

I hardly felt any fear once we started falling, and I truly understood why people get hooked on skydiving.

Ah, I want to jump again!

　スカイダイビング自体は最高の体験ができました。
あっという間の最高の体験！セスナで上昇していく時点で美しい景色に感動を覚えていましたが、雲に落ちていく感覚はこれまで味わったことのないものでしたし、不思議と気持ち良い体験でした。パラシュートが開いた後は、まさに空中散歩といった感じ。落ちてきた興奮とあいまってawesome!awesome!と叫んでました。

落ち始めてからの恐怖感は全くと言っていいほどなくて、スカイダイビングにはまる人の気持ちが身に染みました。

あーもっかい飛びたい。

Unlike when I jumped in Australia, there was a thrilling sensation of falling towards the sea. The instructors were all handsome. However, the driving during the transfer was rough, and I got motion sickness.

オーストラリアで飛んだ時と違って、海に向かって落ちていく迫力がありました。
インストラクターもイケメン揃い。
ただ、送迎の運転が荒くて酔いました。

Amazing!!!!
I was able to fly without any worries and had a great time. It was reassuring that Japanese was spoken, but the guide wasn't very friendly. I would have appreciated a note about needing to tip. It seems the standard is $20 for the tandem partner, $20 for the photographer, and $10 for the Japanese guide. I was planning to fly the day before my departure, so I was mostly using my card and ended up short on cash for tips, which was a bit of a problem. Of course, tips are based on your feelings, but I felt bad not being able to tip properly after receiving such wonderful service.
But it was the best experience. There are skydiving options with insurance, but having insurance means there could be accidents. It seems there have been no fatal accidents here so far. I really felt safe while flying.

By the way, adding photos costs an extra $120, and a package of photos and video is $180. It's expensive, but I bought it as a keepsake. I'm satisfied that I could show it to my family when I returned home.

最高！！！！
全く不安もなく、楽しく飛べました。日本語が通じるので安心でしたが、愛想はあんまりないガイドさんでした。チップが必要で、その記載があると嬉しかったです。タンデムしてくれる人に２０ドル、カメラさんに２０ドル、日本ガイドに１０ドルが相場のようで、最終日前日に飛ぼうと思ってたので、基本カード生活していたて、チップが足りず困ってしまいました。もちろん、チップなので気持ちで前後するのですが、すばらしいサービスを受けたのにチップをちゃんと払えず、申し訳なかったです。
でも最高でした。保険付きのスカイダイビングもありますが、保険がつくということは事故があるという事。ここは今まで死亡事故等は一切ないようです。本当に安心して飛べました。

ちなみに、写真をつけるとプラス１２０ドル、ビデオと写真がセットで１８０ドルです。高いですが、記念と思って購入しました。帰国して家族にも見せれて満足です。

It was my first skydiving experience on my honeymoon, and it was an incredible experience. The instructor who jumped with me made the conversation enjoyable with jokes, which added to the fun. I would love to do it again if I have the chance. The waiting time is long, so I recommend bringing a guidebook or something to read.

The photos are a bit pricey, but they make for a great keepsake!

新婚旅行で初めてのスカイダイビングでしたがすごく貴重な体験が出来ました。
一緒に飛んでくれるインストラクターもジョークを交えながら会話してくれるので楽しいです。機会があればまたやりたいと思いました。
待ち時間は長いのでガイドブックなどを持って行くといいと思います。

写真は少し高いですが記念になりますよ！！

Really enjoyed the flight, the pilot was excellent, but, the entire experience hinges on which side of the plane you happen to be seated on. As you depart, the coastline is on the right side of the plane, which allows you to see the attractions the pilot is making reference to. If you are on the left, you mostly view the open sea. He does circle around occasionally, however your view is a brief one, usually right on top, making it very difficult to get a good angle for a picture. I enjoyed the pilot, his commentary was very insightful, however, I would only recommend this excursion for anyone assured of seat on the right side of the plane.

It was my first time skydiving in my life! Everyone in the group was Japanese, and the driver was also Japanese, so I felt at ease. However, the instructor who jumped with me was quite casual... While others were practicing how to jump, I was just fitted with the harness and that was it. I was watching a video on the bus, so I felt somewhat okay, but I was a little anxious. The skydiving itself was fun!

人生初のスカイダイビングでした！
グループ全員が日本人で、運転手さんも日本人だったので安心でした。
ただ、一緒に飛んでもらったインストラクターの人が結構テキトー・・・
他の人は飛び方の練習などしてましたが、私だけハーネスを付けるだけで終了。
バスでビデオを見ていたので何となく大丈夫でしたが、ちょっと不安でした
スカイダイビング自体は楽しかったです！

Diving from 4200 meters is exhilarating! When I go to Hawaii next time, I will definitely challenge myself again. I can't forget that feeling even after returning home.

4200mからのダイブは爽快！
ハワイに行ったら次回も必ず挑戦あいます。あの感覚が帰国してからも忘れられません。

The instructors were really cheerful, and all my worries disappeared at once. The weather was great, and it felt really wonderful! I would love to do it again if I have the chance.

インストラクターの人達も凄い陽気で不安が一気になくなりました。
天気もよく本当に凄く気持ちよかった!!
機会があればまたしたいと思います。

I took the plunge and tried it! It was amazing…! It was full of thrills. I'm glad I experienced it! I have no regrets. I felt nauseous once I was back on the ground, and since I’m satisfied with this experience, I won’t do it again. However, I highly recommend it to those who are interested. Just be aware that it can take a toll on your body, and I needed to rest at the hotel until the afternoon, so it's best for those without plans. Everyone else seemed fine.

思いきってトライ！すごかった…！
スリル満点でした。経験してよかった！悔いはありません。私は地上に降りたら気持ち悪くなってしまったのと、今回で満足したので二度とやりませんが、気になっている方には強くおすすめします。ただし、身体へのダメージも大きく、午後になるまでホテルで休憩が必要だったので予定がない方が安心です。みなさんは平気そうでした。

Great company and staff. Very organized and efficient.

Nice and comfortable helicopters. Pilot (Geoffrey) was awesome and had excellent choices in music selection to fit the scenery.

Must do activity for Kauai! The only way to see all of Kauai.
