All Reviews for Helicopter & Airplane Tours

My family had an awesome time flying with these professionals. They treated us very special and it was a great way to see the island. Flying over the WWII ships; from above you see what you can't on the ground. I would highly recommend this as a way to see the island. My husband, daughter and I all had a great time.

Kauai from above is so green, lush, and gorgeous views of plenty of waterfalls!

I've always wanted to try skydiving. The moment I jumped out of the Cessna was thrilling, and my heart was racing, but I was able to enjoy the journey through the sky with the diver, feeling excited. Definitely give it a try!

ずっとやってみたかったスカイダイビング。
セスナからの飛び出した瞬間はドキドキ、心臓バクバクでしたが、ダイバーの方と一緒に空の旅をワクワクしながら楽しむ事が出来ました。
ぜひ、挑戦してみて下さい！

I had my first piloting experience, and they taught me very carefully! It was great to be guided through the streets of Hawaii while piloting, and I got to see views that can only be seen from above!

They also took a lot of photos, which made for wonderful memories. 😊

初めて操縦体験を行いましたが、
丁寧に教えてくれました！！
また操縦しながらもハワイの街を案内してくれて上からでしか見れない景色を見れてよかったです！

また写真もたくさん撮ってくださるので思い出作りにもなります☺️

Would do this again in a heartbeat! The views were like nothing I’ve ever seen before!
We took our family of 5 (we have 3 boys) my 8 and almost 4 year old loved it but my 2.5 yr old had a hard time. And I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I’m thinking ears not adjusting to the height or maybe even motion sickness. But he did not do good. He’s usually a very very easy going toddler. So keep that in mind if you have young children. I would love to do it again without my kids so I could enjoy the breathtaking views without stress

Thank you! Thank you, thank you thank you thank you thank you

When I used this site to make a reservation, it was cheaper than booking directly at the store. The feeling is that while ascending in the Cessna, the tension builds up, and at the moment of the dive, the wind pressure is incredible as you stand at the edge of the plane. During the dive, since the ground is far away, there’s less fear compared to a 20 or 30-meter free fall. After the dive, you fall while enjoying the scenery, but even while falling, there’s no sense of the ground getting closer at all, and it feels like the ground slowly approaches after the parachute opens. This is my third experience, but in the past two times, I felt a bit of parachute sickness after the parachute opened, so I recommend motion sickness medication for those who are prone to it.

自身が利用した時はこのサイトで予約した方が直接店舗に予約するよりも安かった。感覚としてはセスナで上昇している間は緊張感が高まり、いざダイブする瞬間は、まず飛行機の縁にスタンバった時に風圧がすごいです。ダイブの瞬間は地面が遠いので2、30メートルのフリーフォールよりも恐怖感はないです。ダイブのした後は景色を見ながら落下しますが、落下している間も全く地面が近づいて来る気配がなく、パラシュートが開いた後にゆっくりと地面が近づいて来る感じです。今回3回目の体験になるが過去2回はパラシュートが開いた後、パラ酔いしてしまったので、乗り物酔いしやすい人は酔い止めをお勧めします。

I was able to do it even at 60 years old! I was also speaking a little bit of Japanese. Since you slide in for landing, I think it's a good idea to wear leggings.

60歳でもできました！
日本語も片言お話ししていました。
着地に滑り込むので、レギンスを履くと良いと思います。

My first experience in a Cessna. I was filled with anticipation as I headed to Oahu. However, the morning hotel pickup was canceled, so I ended up joining in the afternoon. Later, I learned from a Japanese man in his 50s who was driving us that the morning flights were canceled due to heavy fog, which made me feel lucky. This man had extensive knowledge about Hawaii, and during the 20-minute drive, we became quite familiar with the area. The airport waiting room was very clean, and there were plenty of welcoming snacks. I also encountered the cleanest restroom of my Hawaii trip there. The flight route was explained by the pilot, who seemed friendly and was also a Japanese man in his 50s. I took motion sickness medication an hour before the flight, and off we went. Onboard, the scenery was stunning, and the pilot provided a wealth of commentary over the tourist spots, which made for an exciting experience. I was worried about getting motion sickness, but it was a comfortable journey in the sky. The flight lasted about 70 minutes from takeoff to landing. We circled over the Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial about nine times while waiting for landing clearance, which was also fun. The landing was very smooth, with less vibration than my return flight on Delta Airlines.

I would definitely use this service again if I have the opportunity!

初めてのセスナ体験。期待に胸を膨らませオアフへ。ところが朝いちホテルピックアップが不可になり午後に参加することに。後で聞いたらその日の午前は霧が深くフライトできなかったと、送迎の50代と思われる日本人男性から聞きラッキーな気分。この男性のハワイの知識が豊富で20分程のドライブでかなりハワイ通になった私たち。空港の待合室はとても綺麗でおもてなしの菓子も沢山あり、ハワイ旅行中で一番綺麗なトイレに出会ったのもこちら。フライトルート説明が機長からあり分かりやすく人柄良さそうなこちらも50代と思われる日本人男性。酔い止めを1時間前に飲み、いざフライト。機上にて景色の素晴らしさ、観光地の上での盛り沢山の機長の解説、撮影等で盛り上がり、心配していた酔いもなく快適な空の旅。離陸から着陸まで約70分。着陸許可が出るまで真珠湾アリゾナ記念館上を9回ほど旋回し、それもまた楽しい。着陸もとても上手で帰路のデルタ航空より振動がなく笑。
また機会あれば是非利用します！

I called to change the pickup location the day before, and they kindly accommodated my request. It’s a reassuring experience with a company run by Japanese people. During the drive, they provided various information about Hawaii, which was enjoyable.

Pilot Teddy Nomura also shared many sightseeing spots during the flight. He spoke very well about the first-time experience of piloting. I was able to see rainbows multiple times, which was delightful.

After a short break (with plenty of snacks and juice), they changed the return shuttle to drop us off at Ala Moana Shopping Center. They recommended some affordable shops, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

I am very grateful to the couple who run the business. I had a wonderful experience and great memories. I would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

お迎え場所を前日変更するため電話をしましたが、快く変更に応じていただきました。
日本人の方がやっている体験会社で安心感があります。
行きの車のなかでも色々とハワイの案内をして頂き楽しかったです。

パイロットの野村テディさんも飛行中　沢山観光の場所を教えていただきました。
初体験の操縦にも　とても上手にお話しされてました。
何度も虹を見ることも出来楽しませていただけました。

帰りは少し休憩した後(沢山のお菓子とジュース)　ホテル迄の送迎を変更していただきアラモアナショッピングセンターで下車。お手頃なショップなど教えて頂き楽しませて頂きました。

経営者のご夫婦にとても感謝しております。
とても、良い体験と良い思いをさせていただきました。
また、寄らせて頂きたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

On the day of the experience, although things didn't go as planned due to aircraft maintenance, the staff worked hard to find a solution, and in the end, I was able to experience the flight as scheduled. I am truly grateful to all the staff.

This was my second time experiencing flight training in my life, and I can only express my amazement! I was able to hear the communication with the control tower, feel the moment of takeoff, and see the tourist spots of Hawaii from the cockpit. It was truly the best experience! Even now, I look at the photos and videos every day and remember it fondly. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii! Thank you so much!

当日、機体整備の関係で予定通りにいかなかったものの、何とか手配が出来ないか模索してくださり、結果的に予定通り体験操縦ができることになり、スタッフの皆様に本当に感謝しています。
人生で2回目の体験操縦。ただただ感動の一言です！管制塔とのやり取りを聞けて、自分で離陸していく瞬間を感じられて、操縦席からハワイの観光地を見れて、本当に最高でした！今も写真や動画を見ながら、毎日思い出しています。次回ハワイに行くときも必ず参加したいと思います！本当にありがとうございました！

My helicopter tour in Kauai was a truly wonderful experience! The views of the island from the air were absolutely breathtaking, and our pilot did an incredible job navigating and providing fascinating insights throughout the flight. Kauai’s natural beauty is awe-inspiring, and seeing it from above made it even more magical. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the full splendor of the island. A must-do when visiting Kauai!

I participated with my mother.

Both the customers and the staff were very kind, and we were blessed with good weather, making it a wonderful experience.

Route:
The route included Poipu Beach, Waimea Canyon, the Na Pali Coast, the North Shore, the forested areas in central Kauai, and a loop around the island of Kauai.

Meeting Place:
The meeting place is the terminal next to the passenger terminal at Lihue Airport, where cargo flights take off and land. There is a map link included in the notification email, so I don't think there will be any mistakes. Once everyone has gathered, there will be a safety briefing.

Expected Level of Turbulence:
The flight I boarded had relatively calm winds, so there was little turbulence like free-fall (I felt a drop of about 30 centimeters three or four times). Additionally, if you are prone to motion sickness, you can inform the staff at check-in, and they will change your seat to one in the back.

母親と2人で参加しました。

お客さんもスタッフさんもとても優しく、天気にも恵まれ、大変良い体験ができました。

航路:
ポイプビーチ、ワイメアキャニオン、ナ・パリコースト、ノースシォア、カウアイ島中心部の樹林帯とカウアイ島を一周する航路でした。

集合場所:
集合場所はリフエ空港旅客機ターミナルの隣のカーゴなどが離発着するターミナルになります。
事前の通知メールにマップのリンクもついていますので、間違えることはないかと思います。
全員揃ったことを確認して、安全に関する案内があります。

期待の揺れ具合:
搭乗した便は風が比較的穏やかな時間だったので、フリーフォールのような揺れ方は少なかったです。（大体30センチ程度落ちる感覚が3,4回ありました。）
また、酔いやすい人は受付で申告すると後ろの席にチェンジしてくれます。

My first skydiving experience was with my buddy Derek D. He was a bit of a jokester, and even while we were on the plane, he managed to scare me a little. Just before the dive, we all did a fist bump to encourage each other to return safely, which made me realize, as expected, that even for professionals, it’s a dangerous activity. After the dive, that turned into high fives, which I thought was nice.

He taught me the basics in minimal Japanese. During the dive, my mouth got really dry, and I wanted to keep it closed, but I couldn't help but scream, so the sore throat afterward was quite something... The staff wore full-face masks, so they didn’t have to deal with dryness—lucky them! The freefall after the parachute opened was fun, but occasionally we picked up speed and made turns, which was thrilling. Also, my ears hurt for half a day due to the pressure changes. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!

初スカイダイビング
デレクDさんがバディでした
少しお茶目な方で、飛行機に乗ってる時も少し脅かされてました
ダイビング直前には皆でグータッチで、無事に帰還するように、励ますようなやり取りが何回もあり、当たり前ですがやはりプロでも危険なものなんだなと感じました
ダイビング後にはそれがハイタッチに変わります
これもなんか良いなと思いました

最低限の日本語で教えてくれます
ダイビング中は口がめっちゃ乾くので口を閉じたいのですが、叫ばずのは居られないので終わったあとの喉の痛さときたら…
スタッフの方たちはフルフェイスなので乾燥知らず、いいな〜笑
パラシュート開いた後の空中遊泳は楽しかったですが、たまーにスピードを出して旋回してくるのでこれまたドキドキ
あと、気圧の変化で耳が半日は痛かったです
とっても良い体験ができました

It was written that the Kilauea Volcano tour lasts 50 minutes, so I applied for it. However, I couldn't see where the magma flows into the sea, and we returned to the airport in just 40 minutes. It felt disappointing to spend nearly 150,000 yen for this.

キラウエア火山50分と書いてあったのでたいまい出して申し込んだ。しかし、マグマが海に流れ込むところはみられず、たった40分で空港に戻ってきた。2人で15万円近く出してこれかよという感じであった。

We liked the time frame we chose and getting to see the gorgeous waterfalls!

Our family was able to go all together, and we all got a window view- couldnt be better

Wow Kauai is pretty all around, by air and land. My daughter loved this tour most!

In the early morning, we were picked up at Hilton Hawaiian Village, and if you just stay on the bus, you'll arrive at the skydiving site. The van was full, with many tourists, including Japanese visitors. After arriving, you log in on an iPad and sign the waiver, so it's smooth if you print out your reservation ID and other details.

早朝にヒルトンハワイアンビレッジにてピックアップ、そのまま乗っていればスカイダイビング場へ到着です。バンは満席、日本人含め観光客が多くいました。到着後、iPadにてログイン、免責事項へのサインがありますので、予約IDなど印刷していくとスムーズです。

The first time, I was just scared and ended the experience, but after it was over, I thought, "What a wonderful experience! Next time, I want to enjoy it while flying!" So, I decided to try again six months later! I had a fantastic experience that I could never have in my daily life!

For my first attempt, I signed up for the handheld camera and photo package. I requested an outside camera (where a photographer flies separately from the instructor to take pictures) on-site, and I was shocked by the final video. The footage from the outside camera was edited upside down. I emailed three times and also contacted them via Instagram with detailed explanations and images asking for corrections, but I was ignored. I also reached out through this site, but that was ignored as well.

When I mentioned this on-site this time, they offered me the outside camera for free (the cost for the outside camera during my first attempt was $139). Since the weather was good this time, I was told I could jump from an additional 1000 meters for $160, so I requested that. Whether this would be possible depended on luck, but it was amazing! The photos and videos were sent the next day, and they were fantastic! The first video was about six minutes long, while the second was nine minutes. Depending on the instructor and photographer, there seems to be quite a difference in the experience and the footage. This also depends on luck. Everything was perfect this time!

１度目はひたすら怖がって体験を終えてしまい、
体験終了後に「素晴らしい体験だった！次は楽しみながら飛びたい！」と思い、半年後に再チャレンジ！日常では決して味わえない体験を楽しみながらさせていただきました！

１度目はハンディカメラと写真のパッケージで申し込み。現地でアウトサイドカメラ(カメラマンがインストラクターとは別でもうひとり飛んで撮影してくれる)を頼み、出来上がりの映像で驚愕。
アウトサイドカメラの映像が上下逆さまで編集されてました。メールで３度、インスタからも「直してほしい」と細かく説明や画像を添えて問い合わせたが、無視されてしまい、こちらのサイトにも問い合わせましたが、それも無視されたままでした。。

今回その事を現地で話すと、無料でアウトサイトカメラを付けてもらえました。(１度目のアウトサイトカメラ料金は139ドル)今回は天気が良いので＋160ドルで＋1000mの高さからのジャンプが出来るとの事でお願いしました。これが出来るかは運次第ですが、最高でした！写真と映像は翌日送られてきて、出来も最高でした！１度目の映像は約６分、２度目は９分でした。インストラクターとカメラマンによっては体験と映像にかなり差が出る印象。
これも運次第です。今回は全て最高でした！

After 25 years, my husband and I decided to take an overseas trip together, and we were considering how to explore Hawaii. By chance, my husband found a Cessna experience tour in a guidebook and made a reservation. They kindly offered to pick us up from a hotel that was outside their usual area, and they were also very prompt and helpful in our email correspondence, which made us feel at ease about the experience. We were blessed with great weather, and the views of the islands from the sky were truly spectacular and impressive! I'm really glad we decided to participate. Thank you very much.

25年振りの夫婦での海外旅行・ハワイということで島内観光をどのようにしたらよいのか考えていたなか、主人が偶然セスナ機の体験ツアーをガイドブックで見つけて予約しました。規定外のホテルまでの送迎にも応じてくださり、また事前のメールのやりとりにも親切迅速に対応下さって安心して乗ることができました。お天気にも恵まれ空からの島の景色はそれはそれは迫力ある素晴らしいものでした！思い切って参加して本当に良かったと思います。
ありがとうございました。

At the end of August, my wife and I participated together. My wife had a piloting experience. It was an expensive tour, but we thought that if we missed this opportunity, we might never get to pilot a plane again, so we signed up.

The person who picked us up was Japanese, and the pilot was also from Japan, which made us feel very secure.

The course took us around the eastern half of Oahu and lasted about an hour. Naturally, it was my wife's first time piloting a plane, and she was extremely nervous, but they provided support at the right times, so we were able to enjoy it without any dangerous moments (she got tired about two-thirds of the way through, so the pilot took over for the rest).

And surprisingly, after the flight experience, my wife forgot her phone on the sofa, but they contacted us and even delivered it to our hotel. I really appreciate the extra effort they made.

8月末に妻と二人で参加しました。妻が操縦体験をしました。高額なツアーですが、もうこの機会を逃したら飛行機の操縦なんて二度と無いかも、ということで申し込みました。
送迎をしてくれた方も日本人、またパイロットさんも日本の方で、とても安心でした。

オアフ島の東半分を周遊するコースで、ちょうど1時間ほど。当然妻も飛行機の操縦は初めてでめちゃくちゃ緊張していましたが、適時サポートしてくれるので危ないところもなく楽しめました（2/3くらいのところで疲れてしまったので、残りは操縦していただきました）。

そしてなんと、飛行体験が終わったあとソファのところに妻が携帯を忘れていってしまったのですが、連絡をくれてわざわざホテルまで届けてくれました。大変お手数おかけしました。

I was anxious until I got on, but once I flew, it was refreshing!
Even though the aircraft is small, it flies steadily.
The speed is slow enough to enjoy the scenery, and 30 minutes goes by in no time.
However, it's scary when I'm the one piloting; the aircraft responds to even the slightest movement of the control stick.

乗るまでは不安でしたが、いざ飛んでみれば気分爽快！
機体は小さくても安定した飛行です。
速度もゆっくりで景色を楽しむことができ、３０分はあっという間です。
でも自分が操縦する時だけはコワいですね、操縦桿の少しの動きに機体が反応します。

It was absolutely amazing! This time, I went with my family of four. The exhilaration and indescribable feeling are something you can't experience anywhere else. Skydiving doesn't have the same sense of distance from the ground as bungee jumping, so it's not scary at all. If you haven't tried it yet, I definitely encourage you to give it a shot!

やっぱり最高でした！今回は家族4人で飛びました。
この爽快感と何とも言えない感覚は他で味わえるものではないです。スカイダイビングは陸との距離感が全くないのでバンジージャンプのような怖さはありません。
未体験の方は是非チャレンジしてみて下さい！

It was absolutely amazing! Skydiving, which was on my bucket list, was something I thought might be a bit scary. While waiting below, I was nervous because the parachutes were arriving so quickly! But once I got up there, the height was so great that I didn't feel scared at all, haha. It was completely not scary! I also heard that the person jumping with me had done it about 20,000 times, which made me feel very reassured! Since returning home, I've been recommending it to all my friends.

まーーじで最高でした！
人生でやりたいことリストに入っていたスカイダイビング！ちょっと怖いかなって思ってて、下で待機してる時パラシュートの到着する速度が早くてビビってました！
けど上まで行ったらもう怖いとかないくらいの高さでw
全く怖くなかったです！
いっしょに飛んでくれる人も20000回ほど飛んでいると聞いてとても安心しました！
帰国して友達にみんなに勧めています

As a memory of our honeymoon, I had the experience with my wife!

The drive from Waikiki was incredibly refreshing, surrounded by nature that you can't see in Japan! It might be better to speak some English! This time, I was helped by a Japanese person who could understand the surroundings!

Skydiving was the most exhilarating part, as going up in the Cessna felt amazing! After jumping out, I have no memory of what happened! It was that scary! I definitely think that those who are not good with thrill rides should avoid it!

ハネムーンの思い出として
妻と体験させてもらいました！

ワイキキからドライブは
日本では見ることのない大自然でとても爽快的！
英語は話せたほうがいいかもです！
今回は周りに理解できる日本人の方がいたので助かりました！

スカイダイビングは
セスナで上空まで行くのが最高に気持ちいいです！
飛び降りてからは記憶がありません！
そのくらい怖いです！
絶叫マシンが苦手な方は絶対にやらないほうがいいと思います！

For the tour departing at 10:30, we needed to arrive at the heliport an hour in advance. The heliport is located near Waikoloa. We arrived at 9:30, checked in, and then watched a video. When the time came, we took a tour of the Big Island, flying counterclockwise. It was about a two-hour helicopter tour. The pilot, who is from Massachusetts, provided guidance in a mix of Japanese and English. There were a total of seven of us on board: four Japanese, the pilot, and two Americans. It was very helpful that the guide spoke Japanese.

十時三十分出発のツアーで一時間前までにヘリポートに行く必要がある。ヘリポートはワイコロア近くにある。九時半に到着してチェックインしてから、ビデオを見た。時間になりハワイ島を左回りに一周した。約二時間のﾍﾘﾂｱｰ。マサチューセッツ州出身の操縦士が日本語と英語を混ぜながら案内してくれた。登場したのは我々日本人四人と操縦士とアメリカ人二人の合計七人。ガイドは日本語を話せるのでとても助かった。

I challenged my son to skydiving for the first time. It's a lifelong memory. I haven't told my son, but I was scared—I'm glad we did it on impulse.

初めてのスカイダイビングを息子とチャレンジ
一生の思い出です。ただ　息子には言ってませんが怖かったー勢いでやれて良かった

I have a fear of heights, but thanks to everyone's reviews and the YouTube videos I watched to prepare, I really enjoyed the day! However, our lack of English skills meant that the details of our reservation were completely ignored. They were promoting plans like having another cameraman fly and take photos, and there are plans that allow you to fly even higher, targeting Japanese customers. As a beginner, I ended up with a plan that goes up to the highest altitude with an oxygen mask, which was a big misunderstanding, so please be careful! But it was so much fun!

高所恐怖症の私ですが、みなさんの感想やYouTubeの映像で予習していったおかげで当日は本当に楽しめました！！
ただ！！私達の英語力が無かったのでしょうがないですが、こちらで予約した内容は一切無視
もう1人カメラマンが飛んで撮影するプランがあるよ！もっと高く飛べるプランがあるよ！と日本人を狙って営業してきます
初心者なのに酸素マスク付きの最高度まであがるプランとなり大誤算でしたお気をつけください！
でもとっても楽しかったです！！

글라이더 투어 처음으로 해 보았습니다.
긴장이 되긴 했지만, 하기를 잘 했다고 생각이 듭니다.
하늘에서 감동을 잊을 수가 없습니다.
하와이에 왔다면, 꼭~ 유인 글라이더 투어를 하시기 바랍니다.
완전 강추 입니다.~^^
무한 도전에서 나오셨던 그 아저씨...
지금은 세월이 15년이나 흘러 할아버지가 되셨지만,
같이 사진 찍어 주시면서 다양한 포즈 취하게 해 주시고 ㅎㅎ
즐겁게 사진을 찍었습니다.
다음에 또 하와이를 간다면 글라이더 투어 한번 더 하고 싶네요~^^
