Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

Doors off Helicopter ride

Reviewed by: Peter in Sydney

Well worth doing the helicopter ride and the Doors Off Experience is the way to do it. The ride itself is worth it but to then fly over the lava flowing into the ocean and seeing collapsed lava tubes is something else.

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>

This is bad. やばい

Reviewed by: クッチー

At an altitude of 4,000 meters... falling as if from above Mount Fuji.

For the first few seconds, there's a feeling similar to a roller coaster, but once you get used to it, you start to enjoy the free fall time a bit more.

Hmm, it's a feeling like nothing you've experienced before, and you definitely won't be disappointed.

By the way, I highly recommend getting the DVD and photos! You can enjoy them even after returning home!

上空4,000M…
富士山より上から落ちるように落下。
最初の何秒間かは、ジェットコースターのようなウッツッツとくる感じがあるものの、慣れてからは、少し余裕が出てきてフリーホールの時間が楽しめます。
うーん、やってみないとわからない今までにない感じでしたが、絶対満足します。
ちなみにDVD、写真はおすすめですよ!
帰国後にも楽しめますし!

An unforgettable experience!! 忘れられない体験!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

If you're feeling a bit scared and hesitant, you should definitely take the plunge!

It's an incredibly moving experience that words can't express!

I was nervous at the moment of jumping out of the Cessna, but the beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see is something only those who dive can truly understand.

There wasn't much explanation, but the guide who dove with us was kind, so I didn't feel anxious.

As for the photos... they were a bit pricey, and I kind of regret not ordering them.

ちょっと怖いな・・・と迷っている人!!
絶対にチャレンジするべきです!

言葉では表現できないほどの
感動の体験ができます!!!!!

セスナから飛び降りる瞬間は緊張しましたが
その後、見渡す限りのきれいな景色はダイブした人にしか
わからないと思います。


あまり十分な説明もなかったですが(笑)
一緒にダイブするガイドの人はやさしかったですし
不安はありませんでした。

First Time in a helicopter and I had the front seat. The views from the air are out of this world. Would love to see all of the island's this way. Purchased the DVD just for the wonderful information that Travis gave us. Too much to remember so get the dvd. Color on dvd is ok. Lots better live but it's our flight to remember forever. We saw places you can never see by car. A must do for everyone to see the beauty of Kauai. Thanks for the great time Blue Hawaiian and Dad and Janet for taking us on the tour. Loved it.

WOW!!!

Reviewed by: Twila

Amazing!! My husband and my teenage daughter had a great sky diving adventure. If you just pay for the jump it is reasonable but if you want pictures or DVD it is quite a lot more. The staff was great, very professional! Would definitely do this again, but it is a little cheaper if you just book through them because they do offer daily specials. But felt the price through this site was reasonable.

Every once in awhile we find a service provider that does everything right -- hospitality, value, and exceptional experience.

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: アラフォートラベラー

I am someone who is afraid of heights and even hesitates to ride roller coasters. I felt anxious and nervous after arriving at the airport with the rental car, and I was still fidgeting on the plane. The moment of takeoff was a bit scary, but during the free fall, I felt completely fine and it was just exhilarating. Once the parachute opened and the descent speed decreased, I actually felt a thrill as I was spun around in right and left turns, which was a bit frightening. If I could handle it, then those who are afraid of heights will definitely be fine too! It's a rural area, so both the sea and mountains offer stunning views, and there are Japanese staff on site, which is reassuring. I would love to go again.

私は高所恐怖症でジェットコースターすら乗るのに躊躇う
人です、レンタカーで飛行場に着いてからソワソワして

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

Thanks again

Reviewed by: Aimee and John

John and I wanted to send this email thanking everyone at Paradise for a once in a lifetime experience on our vacation. We took one of your newer trips which flew out of Kona, over the valleys, drop off in Hilo for the day (with paid rental car), then over the Volcanoes, and back to Kona. We really enjoyed the entire day. In fact we hadn't originally thought we would get to visit the Hilo area since the drive from Kona is a couple of hours. So not only did we get to see beautiful valleys, waterfalls, and running lava from air but we got to explore the Rain forest national Zoo, The Volcano national Park, Rainbow Falls, and Akaka Falls all by land as well. Also our pilot Steve was so informative and friendly he really helped make our day just that much more special. I'm sure he flies the same routes every day, yet you couldn't tell. His passion for the land, and surroundings was contagious. Thanks again, we included some of our amazing trip photos.

Seeing Hana From Land and Sky

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The road to hana was something that I wanted to experience while on Maui. I'm glad that someone else was driving, because that road in narrow and curves constantly. The driver did a great job maneuvering around the road, all while giving us informative information about what we were seeing. All along the road you can see beautiful lush vegetation. The helicopter tour was a great way to get a brids-eye-view of hana. Hana is even more beautiful when you see it from a helicopter. You can really get a feel for how dramatic the scenery in Hana is.

This is a great activity except if you're prone to motion-sickness then it is not for you. Two hours was way too long for us. I was doing well in the first hour when we were shown the volcanoes and mountains but in the second hour I could not keep my eyes open due to my motion sickness. And that sucked because in the second hour is when he shows you the beautiful valleys and waterfalls! Thank God my husband was able to record it for me but it still wasn't the same. I would recommend a 45-minute-1 hour tour but not the 2 hour tour.

Hawaii Big Island Helicopter Tour – Volcanoes, Valleys & Waterfalls Flight

Big Island

Reviewed by: William

To start off with when we were making reservations transportation aparently wasn't available. Don't let them tell you that. They have vans and make pick-ups from the hotel we stayed in. We took the big island spectacular 2 hour. It was nice. The volcano part wasn't what i thought. I expected to see flowing lava. All you see is the top crust of past lava flows. Even the volcano vent wasn't what I thought it would be. The VOG was so thick thast about all you could see. A little let down. Although the 2nd part was the tropical rain forest. We had a nice ride along the ocean front. Went up the valleys and saw more waterfalls than I could keep track of. Pilot even sighted some whales and circled for us. Wind turbulance in some of the valleys made me tighten my seat belt a bit. Later I learned the pilot is a retired coast guard pilot. Wish I knew that going in, I would have been a bit more relaxed.

While I often see the scenery from the airplane window, being able to firmly imprint the views of the North Shore in my mind without the window is the best. That night, when I closed my eyes, the images from the dive came to me, and I felt exhilarated many times. It was a wonderful experience.

North Shore Skydiving Adventure Tour with Oceanview - GoJump Hawaii

14000ft!!!

Reviewed by: Birdman

Words cannot describe the adrenalin rush you experience as you free fall from 14000ft in the sky.

When you are on the airfield, it is just an exciting plane ride. But as the plane takes off and goes higher and higher until you are well above the clouds, then the reality of jumping off the airplane kicks in (as shown in the photos).

At this point, you still have a chance to change your mind and not to jump, but who does? You are strapped to the instructor, so you have no choice but to jump anyway.

The first one minute of the jump (it feels a lot shorter), it's just a free fall. The adrenalin rush you get is just amazing, and you literally shoot through the clouds. The view of the North Shore is definitely breathtaking and magnificent as well.

The landing was much smoother than I though. The instructors were very professional and safe. No wonder they hold a perfect safety record.

If you have not done skydiving before, I highly recommend you to do it. It is definitel

Definitely diving over other tours. 他のツアーよりも絶対ダイビング

Reviewed by: kimu21

I came to Hawaii for the first time in my life and experienced skydiving for the first time as well.

The day before, I explored Oahu, trying B-class gourmet food, watching a Polynesian show, and visiting the popular Ala Moana Shopping Center. I was hesitant about diving because it seemed scary. However, once I tried it, there was no comparison.

The clear blue sky, the beautiful ocean, the round Earth, and the free fall from 4,000 meters that I've never experienced before were all incredible. It was the best experience, even better than any attraction. I used to have a fear of heights, but the only scary moment was right before jumping; after that, I could fully enjoy the scenery.

However, the moment the parachute opened, I felt a strong pull that was quite painful, and I also experienced some parachute sickness.

Additionally, the transportation was disorganized, and I was made to sign a waiver without any explanation, leaving me unsure of when things would start after arriving, so I rated the staff's response ★★★.

But beyond that, you will experience something you’ve never had before, so if you come to Hawaii, make skydiving your top priority.

There are two diving companies. Insurance does not cover anything, and it's all at your own risk, but I recommend Pacific Skydiving Center.

P.S. Photos were $125, DVDs were $160, and both together were $190. It was worth more than the price, so I requested both.

生まれて初めてハワイに来て、生まれて初めてスカイダイビングを経験しました。

前日までは、オアフ島1周してB級グルメを食べたり、ポリネシアンショーをみたり、人気のアラモアナショッピングセンターに行ったりしました。ダイビングは怖いので迷っていました。しかし、やってみたら比べものになりません。

雲ひとつない真っ青な空、きれいな海、丸い地球、そして経験したことのない4000mからのフリーフォール。どんなアトラクションよりも最高です。私は高所恐怖症でしたが、飛ぶ瞬間だけが怖いだけであって、あとは景色を堪能できます。

ただ、パラシュートを開いた瞬間はかなり引っ張られて痛かったですし、パラシュート酔いもしました。

また、送り迎えの車が乱雑でしたし、誓約書を何も言わずに書かされたり、ついてからいつ始まるか分からない状態でしたので、スタッフの対応は★3つとさせていただきました。

でも、それ以上に味わったことがない事を体験しますので、ハワイに来たら真っ先にスカイダイビングをしてください。

あとダイビング会社が2つあります。保険は利かず全て自己責任ですが、パシフィックスカイダイビングセンターをおすすめします。

PS:写真は125ドル、DVDは160ドル、両方は190ドルでした。価格より価値がありましたので、両方をお願いしました。

Viewing from the perspective of a skydiving spectator. スカイダイビング見学者での見方

Reviewed by: スカイダイビング見学者

1: The transfer from Waikiki takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Departure at 7:00 AM, arrival at 8:30 AM.

2: Watch a video to learn about skydiving. About 10 minutes.

3: After arrival, review the documents and sign them. About 10 minutes.
Up to this point, even those who are not jumping start to feel like they want to fly.

4: Free time from 9:00 AM.
Many people mentioned that the waiting time during this period was long.
There is a place next door that sells snacks (just a few seconds away), so it might be a good idea to buy something to pass the time.
The staff were buying food and eating inside.

5: At 11:00 AM, we were called to prepare.

6: Boarding at 11:15 AM.
About 30 minutes.

7: Landing at 11:45 AM.

8: At 12:00 PM, if you requested video recording and photos, it seems you have to wait about an hour after landing to check the video. In my case, I purchased it without watching.
So, after finishing the dive, I quickly got on the bus and departed.

I think we arrived around 1:30 PM near Waikiki.

The times mentioned are based on my experience, so I hope they are helpful.

1:ワイキキからの送迎は現地まで約1時間30分
  出発7時  到着8時30分

2:ビデオを見てスカイダイビングを勉強する。10分位

3:到着後書類に目を通しサインをする。10分位
 
 ここまでは飛ばない人もなんだか飛ぶ気がしてきます。 

4:フリータイム 9時~
  皆様がおっしゃっている、この間の待ち時間が長かと。
  お隣さんのスカイダイビング屋に軽食を売っている所が  あるので、(徒歩数秒)待ち時間に購入して時間を潰す  のには持ってこいかと思います。
  スタッフの方が買って中で食べていました。
  
5:11時声が掛かり準備。

6:11時15分搭乗
   約30分間
7:11時45分着地

8:12時ビデオ撮影&写真を頼まれた場合は、
着地から約1時間待てばビデオの確認をさせてくれるそうですが、自分の場合は、見ないで購入しました。
なので、ダイビング終了後早々にバスに乗り込み出発。

ワイキキ周辺に着いたのが13:30頃だったかと。


時間は自分の時の時間なので、参考になれば良いかと。
