All Reviews for Helicopter & Airplane Tours

I was opposed by my family and looked at strangely by my colleagues, wondering, "Am I weird?" but I followed my heart that said, "I want to fly!" and went for it. In the end, I am filled with the feeling that it was great to fly. For me, the joy and satisfaction come even stronger after returning home than right after the jump. During free fall, the strong wind and noise make it hard to enjoy the scenery, but once the parachute opens, I was able to leisurely enjoy the beautiful sea and mountains of Hawaii. Watching others descend while waiting below is also impressive. It was quite cold between the plane and free fall, especially in winter! (Someone who participated with me said, "You seem calm. I didn't feel anything because I was so nervous.") If you're sensitive to the cold, I recommend wearing a long-sleeved, slightly thicker shirt. Also, the impact upon landing is stronger than expected, so those with knee issues should be careful. Some people enjoyed landing on their bottoms, but their pants ended up quite wet and dirty. I participated on the last day of my stay in Hawaii, during a winter when the weather can change quickly, but fortunately, the rain that fell in the morning stopped, and it turned into a beautiful day (actually, that afternoon, there was a storm-like rain, and everything was canceled). I didn't feel scared, and thanks to that, it became an invaluable memory as I approach my 40s. I sincerely thank the divers and staff who provided a safe and enjoyable skydiving experience! Thank you!

家族からは反対され、会社の同僚からは奇異な目で見られ、『わたしってヘン？』と思いながら、それでも『飛んでみたい！』という自分の心に従って飛んでみました。結果、飛んでよかった、という気持ちで一杯です。私の場合、飛んだ直後よりこうして自宅に帰ってからのほうが、喜び、満足感がより強くこみ上げてくる感じです。フリーフォールはすごい風と音でクルクルまわりながらあまり景色を楽しむ余裕はありませんが、パラシュートが開いてからゆったりとハワイの美しい海と山々を楽しむことができました。下で待っている間も、他の人たちが次々と降りてくるのを見るのも圧巻ですよ。冬とあってさすがに飛行機の中とフリーフォールの間は寒い！です（一緒に参加した人からは、『冷静ですね~。私は（緊張して）ぜんぜん感じませんでした』と言われましたが）。寒さに弱い方は、長袖の少し厚めのシャツを着ることをお勧めします。また、着地の際は思ったより衝撃が強いのでひざなどに故障がある方は要注意。お尻からの着地を楽しんでいる方もいましたが、結構ズボンがぬれたりよごれていたりしていました。ハワイ滞在最終日に、それも天気の変わりやすい冬に参加しましたが、朝降っていた雨もやんで好天となり幸運でした（実際、その日の午後は嵐のような雨となりすべてキャンセルとなったそうです）。私は怖さも感じず、おかげで40歳台最後のかけがえのない思い出になりました。安全で楽しいスカイダイビングを体験させていただいたダイバー、スタッフの方々に心から感謝します！ありがとうございました！

We did a circle island flight, and it was AWESOME. The pilot, Josh was very funny and friendly, as well as his co-pilot ziggy (cute dog). The view from the sky is a lot different for sure. I was able to see all the surfers on the northshore. The sheer vastness of the ocean surprised us. Such an beautiful place. Highly recommended!

It was amazing.
It was truly wonderful!!!
Thank you to our guide, Mr. Komiya.
If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I look forward to it.

最高でした。
本当にすばらしいでした！！！
ガイドしてくれた（小宮さん）ありがとうございました。
また今度ハワイへ行く機会があればよろしくお願いします。

I tried skydiving for the first time! I’m not great with heights, but it was more fun than I expected, and the rainbow I saw from 4,000 meters up was absolutely beautiful.

The weather was unstable, so we had some delays in jumping that day, but ultimately, I was able to enjoy the amazing views in clear skies. Depending on the instructor, some can be quite enthusiastic, and after opening the parachute, they might spin around a bit too much, which can make you feel a little queasy. Fortunately, my instructor was just right, and I felt perfectly fine.

I wanted photos and videos, but they were too expensive, so I gave up on that. On the way back, since we had some time left, we also did a little sightseeing. I can’t forget the taste of the shrimp I had during that time! Thank you, driver Komiya!

初めてスカイダイビングにチャレンジしました！
高いところは苦手でしたが予想以上に楽しく上空４０００ｍから見た虹はとてもきれいでした。
天気が不安定だったため、その日はなかなかすんなり飛べませんでしたが、最終的には雲のない状態ですばらしい景色を満喫できました。
インストラクターにもよりますが、サービス精神旺盛な人だとパラシュートを開いたあとクルクル回転してくれすぎて少し気分が悪くなる時もあるようです。ちなみに私のインストラクターは程よい感じで全然大丈夫でした。
写真やビデオは欲しかったんですが高すぎて断念しました。。
帰りには時間が残っているということで、プチ観光もしていただきました。その時に食べたシュリンプの味が忘れられません！ドライバーのＫomiyaさんありがとうございました！！

This was the highlight of our Hawaiian visit. The flight around Oahu was absoultly wonderfull.

My most memorable moments of O'ahu! Had a wonderful time!

This is the most amazing ride of the life time. If you have a chance, do this tour. You won't regret it. It's worth every penny.

The highlight of our trip to Hawaii. Very professional company.

It was a trip with three friends for four days (actually three days). One of the memories from that trip was booking a skydiving experience at Pacific Skydiving Center two days before the trip after a big decision. I was full of anxiety, but the day itself was incredibly fulfilling and satisfying!!

Mr. KOMIYA, who provided our transportation, was the best staff member we encountered during our trip and someone we will never forget. He felt like a father figure in Hawaii. Surrounded by staff who were unique and helped ease our tension during the skydiving experience, it was definitely a tour we will come back to next time we visit Hawaii.

Together with my friends, we rated our satisfaction ★★★★★!!

友達三人の滞在四日間（実質三日）という旅行でした。
その思い出の一つにスカイダイビングを旅行二日前に大決断の後、パシフィックスカイダイビングセンターを予約しますた。
不安たっぷりでしたが、当日は充実満点☆満足！！

送迎してくれたMr.KOMIYAさんは、私たちの旅行の中で忘れることのない最高のスタッフの方でした。HAWAIのお父さんです。
スカイダイビングでもユニークたっぷりで緊張感をやわらげてくれるスタッフに囲まれていて、次回HAWAIに来る時にまた来ること間違いなしのツアーでした。

友人ともに　満足度★★★★★　でした！！　

The glider was awesome. I loved it. I would do it again. I would definitely add it to my bucket list!

This was my very first helicopter ride. From the beginning, I had confidence in the pilot and the helicopter.

Everyone was friendly and helpful.

I would do it again.

PS FYI - NOT PART OF MY COMMENT
You have a typo in your Board Writing Guides in the Comment Writing Standards. You typed "Be through," think you meant thorough.

I and my wife went to Waikiki night Flight on my wife's Birthday. The View was Unbelievably beautiful, so she excited very much! She said the flight was the most Beautiful birthday present She've ever had! Thank you for the greatest time.

This was a great, affordable way to see the entire island. The service was more personal. We had the ride with just the two of us. It was terrific meeting Bruce and Ellen. They are a wonderful and interesting couple.

The trip was fantastic and i would definitely do it again. It was a brilliant way to see the island and the views were spectacular!

This is my second time participating. Last time, I was a bit anxious since it was my first experience, but I wanted to feel that refreshing sensation again, so I signed up once more. The staff's response was good, and I am satisfied. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I will definitely sign up.

２回目の参加です。前回は初めてだったので不安もありましたが、あの爽快感をもう一度体験したくまた申し込んでしまいました。スタッフの対応もよく満足しております。また、ハワイに行く機会があれば申し込むでしょう・・・。

We participated as a family of four (with children aged 2 and 0). The seating is assigned by the pilot based on the weight of all passengers to maintain the stability of the helicopter, so there’s no guarantee you’ll get a window seat. The pilot speaks in English, so you’ll understand the names of the areas, but if you’re not confident in English, just enjoy the scenery. The ride is smooth, with hardly any turbulence.

The lava flow varies in volume and direction depending on the day, so whether you get to see a spectacular lava flow is a matter of luck. The biggest appeal of the helicopter is that it can get very close to areas that are absolutely inaccessible from land, which is a different level of excitement compared to a Cessna.

If you decide to participate, I recommend going in the morning when the weather is relatively stable, as it tends to rain in the afternoon in Hilo. On a clear day, you can see Mt. Mauna Loa up close and Mt. Mauna Kea in the distance.

During the flight, the scenery and our moments are filmed by the helicopter's onboard camera, and you can purchase the DVD afterward as a travel memory (around $25). This is an experience you can't have in Japan, so if you're staying on the Big Island, definitely give it a try. (However, I wouldn’t recommend bringing a 0-year-old along...)

家族4人（子供2歳・0歳の）で参加しました。座席はパイロットがヘリの安定を保つため全搭乗者の体重を考えて指定されるので窓側に座れるとは限りません。
　パイロットの話す言語は英語なので、各エリアの名前程度は分かりますが英語が苦手な方は景色を楽しんで下さい。乗り心地は良く、揺れもほとんどありません。
　ラバフローは日によって流れ出る量や方角が異なるので、迫力あるラバフローが見られるかどうかは運次第です。
　ヘリの最大の魅力は陸上からは絶対に近づけないエリアに低高度でかなり至近距離に迫れるので、セスナ機とでは迫力が違います。
　参加するなら天候の比較的安定している午前中のなるべく早い時間帯がおすすめです。ヒロは多雨地帯なので午後は雨に降られる確立が高いとのことです。快晴だと、間近にMt.マウナロアを、遠くにMt．マウナケアを見ることができます。
　飛行中の景色や自分達の様子はヘリ搭載のビデをカメラでフルタイム撮影されていて、終了後ＤＶＤとして旅の思い出に是非買って下さい（＄２５程度）。
　日本では出来ない体験なので、ハワイ島に滞在したら是非体験して下さい。（ただし０歳児を一緒に搭乗させることはさすがにおすすめはできません・・・）
　

It was the best experience.
I have ridden most of the thrill rides in the country, but the excitement I felt during skydiving surpasses anything I've experienced in the past.
The "fear" at the moment of jumping from 4,000 meters, the "excitement" while falling, and the "view" after the parachute opens are beyond words.
Before you jump, you have to sign a waiver that means "everything is at your own risk," but if you have even 1% interest in skydiving, you should definitely try it. Even with 99% anxiety and fear, the friendly and skilled staff will make it enjoyable.
If you have a partner or friends, please do it together; I think it will create unforgettable memories.
Unfortunately, my partner was too scared to jump from a 5-meter cliff, so they ran away, and I couldn't share the excitement with them. Also, I was embarrassed by my face in the video recording.
Finally, I want to express my gratitude to all the staff who took care of us and say, "Thank you!" and "Skydiving is the best!!!"

最高の体験でした。
　私は、国内の殆どの絶叫系ライドを乗っていますが、その時の興奮は過去のものであり、今後スカイダイビングで経験した「興奮」を上回るものはないと思います。
　上空４０００メートルから、飛び出す瞬間の「恐怖」、落ちていく途中の「興奮」、パラシュートが開いた後の「景色」は、言葉では言い表せません。
　飛ぶ前に「全ては自己責任」という意味合いの「承諾書」にサインしないといけませんが、スカイダイビングに１％でも興味のある方は、是非やってください。９９％の不安と恐怖があっても、優しくて優秀なスタッフが楽しませてくれます。
　カップルや友達がいる人は、是非一緒にやってください、一生の思い出作りになると思います。
　今回、残念だったのは、私の相方が５メートルの崖から飛び降りれないほどのビビリさんであったので、逃げ出してしまい、興奮を分かち合えなかった事とビデオ撮影して頂いた自分の顔があまりにイタかった事です。
　最後に、今回お世話になったスタッフの皆さんに「ありがとう」の言葉と「スカイダイビング最高！！！」の言葉を贈りたいです。

　

There is no word to describe this experience. It's like skydiving. You have to do it to know.

This tour is by far the best way to see the Island. I recommend doing it the first day your on Kaui because the pilots tell you were to go and what to see. We had the owner as the pilot and he gave us terrific ideas and views of the Island. Will do this tour again.

It was just gorgeous. I was a little nervous because had never been in a helicopter before but the facilities, equipment and staff were so professional by the time we went up, all my fears were gone and I was able to enjoy every second of the trip.

Thank you.

The Helicopter Tour was a terrific experience for first time vistors to the island...also for someone who has never rode in a helicopter! Highly recommend the company and the helpful staff! We ordered the video from our ride and received within the week as stated...we were quite surprised they were so accurate in sending it to us...THANKS!!

Tour of a lifetrime. Chose Blue Hawaiian because of their safety and tour awards. Definitely well-earned! Pilot Bob was knowledgable about Hawaii and well-spoken (and charismatic). He included all the passengers in his presentation and used our names. Always nice! Definitely a fun ride - and a view you can only appreciate from a helicopter.

This was the most amazing experience I have ever had. Our pilot, Steve, shared his vast knowledge of the big island with us. Absolutely amazing!! I would do this again in a heartbeat!

We had a FANTASTIC experience on the Paradise Helicopter tour!
We would do it again, the next time we travel to Hawai'i.
I've included some of my favorite pictures from the tour.
Had a GREAT time!
Aloha,

It was amazing to experience the unique thrill of flying deep into Waipi'o Valley by helicopter.

ワイピオ渓谷を奥深く入っていくなどヘリならではの醍醐味を感じることができ最高でした。

Great time ! We are still talking about it.

Absolutely loved it! It was a great way to get a fast introduction to Oahu, and thereafter help us plan the rest of our stay on where to go and what to see. The video was delivered even before we arrived home!

We flew with Bruce a few years ago and had a wonderful flight. I was somewhat apprehensive since I have issuses with panic attacks, he was so kind and reassuring that it made the flight very comfortable. Kaui is such a beautiful island you get a different perspective from the air. We enjoyed Bruce's vast knowledge of Kauai from the air. He even let my husband do a little bit of the flying since he had his private piolts license. We highly recommend

Enjoyed seeing the coast, valleys and mountains from above. Would love to go again!

Fantastic time. Views were one of a kind, and the staff was very enjoyable.
