Outstanding day full of fun, great food, and educational content.

Reviewed by: Jack

Nick and Misty did a great job interacting with the group and went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable with the tour and the information. Our day was 12 hours long and was very enjoyable from the time we were picked up at our hotel till late in the evening. The volcano lava viewing in the evening was amazing!

I am always Leary of organized tours but this one was an exception. Our guide Nick was exceptional. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, and well taken care of. He has done his homework and knows the history and the island well, showing us a lot of extra things along the way such as plants, historical notes etc. it was a long day but we enjoyed every minute and would recommend to anyone.

Oahu to Big Island - Helicopter Tour & Volcano Sightseeing Adventure with Lunch

check the weather first

Reviewed by: Pete J

Overall the tour was well organised and professional. However due to low visibility from low cloud and rain, the helicopter part of the tour was cancelled and refunded. Since the hotel pick up was 6am, we had already flown to the big island before that decision was made, therefore the package became just an expensive day trip bus ride. We would have preferred to cancel the whole trip if we had known the helicopter portion was not gonig ahead, althought that is the decison of the pilots.
The bus tour and guide was very good and knowleldgeable and could not fault what we did experience.

We did the Circle Island Tour, small group tour which was fantastic. I cannot say enough about this tour. It was approx. 11.5 hours but the day flew by. Our driver Kevin was amazing and informed us about everything. It was a maximum 12 people which made it very enjoyable. Our lunch break we stopped at an Orchid shop and our driver had picked us up Bento Boxes, it was delicious. We saw everything from waterfalls, rain forest, black sand beach, lava tubes, lava fields, and volcanoes and so much more. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. Well worth the money.

I came to Hawaii Island for the first time. I wanted to see Kilauea Volcano, but it would take too long to get there by rental car, so I joined this tour. I was worried about whether the high cost of the tour would be worth it, but the experience was even more wonderful than I imagined. The pilot was Japanese and occasionally explained things in Japanese, which made it easy to understand.

However, be prepared for the possibility of cancellations due to weather conditions. We were able to go, but the next group had their tour canceled after checking in and had to go back...

初めてのハワイで、ハワイ島に来ました。
とりあえずキラウエア火山を見たいと思っていましたが、レンタカーでは行くまでに時間がかかり1日潰れてしまうのでこのツアーに参加しました。

パイロットの方が日本人で時折日本語を交えて説明してくださったので理解しやすかったです。

The best two hours! 最高の２時間！

Reviewed by: YUKO

We participated in the flight at 7 AM on November 16th! We were the only Japanese participants, which made us quite anxious, but the pilot, TOSHI, who appeared was a very cheerful and wonderful Japanese person. With 20 years of experience, he was also very good at communicating. He explained things clearly to the foreign passengers, mixing Japanese and English.

The weather that day was perfect! We could see the lava from Kilauea and the lava from the Ocean Approach clearly. More than that, the breathtaking scenery of Waipi'o Valley, which can only be seen by helicopter, left us speechless. The world’s 13th tallest waterfall was flowing beautifully. According to TOSHI, it had rained the day before, and since it was the first flight of the morning, there was a lot of water flowing. He mentioned that by around noon, the water would hardly be flowing, so I recommend an early flight for those who will participate in the future.

As for the flight itself, there was nothing to complain about, but one disappointing aspect was the hotel pickup. We were scheduled to be picked up at 5:55 AM and waited five minutes early to avoid being late, but the car actually arrived after 6:10 AM. The voucher stated to contact them if the pickup did not arrive after 15 minutes, so when I tried to get the front desk to help, the car arrived just then. It was disappointing to have woken up early for this. The pickup staff did not speak Japanese, so I couldn't voice any complaints.

Meeting TOSHI, who shares the same last name, made for an unforgettable day for us. Thank you!

１１月１６日の朝７時のフライトに２人で参加しました！
日本人の参加者は私たち夫婦だけで、かなり不安でしたが、登場してきたパイロットのTOSHIさんがとーっても明るくて素敵な日本人でした。２０年のベテランでとーってもお話上手。
一緒に搭乗した外人さんにもわかりやすく、日本語と英語を交えて説明してくれました。

この日の天候は最高！キラウエアの溶岩も、オーシャンアプローチの溶岩もしっかり見えました。それよりもワイピオ渓谷では、ヘリコプターでしか見れない壮大な景観、言葉が出ないぐらい感動してしまいました。世界で１３番目に高い滝は、しっかり水が落ちていました。TOSHIさんの話では、前日に雨が降り、朝１番でのフライトだからたくさん水が落ちている、とのこと。昼ぐらいには水はほとんど落ちないでしょう、ということなので、これから参加する方は早い時間のフライトをお勧めします。

フライトに関しては、何の申し分もないぐらいですが、１つ残念だったのが、ホテルの送迎に関して。
５時５５分のお迎え予定で、遅れないようにと５分前には待っていましたが、実際に車が来たのは６時１０分過ぎ。１５分過ぎて迎えが来ない場合は連絡をください、とバウチャーに書いてあったので、連絡しようとフロントに動いてもらったら、車が来るというタイミング。頑張って朝早く起きたことを残念に思ったスタートでした。お迎えのスタッフは日本語ができない人たちなので、文句は何も言えませんでした。

同じ苗字のTOSHIさんとの出会いは、私達夫婦にとって、忘れられない１日になりました。
ありがとうございました！

Kilauea Volcano Helicopter Tour キラウエア火山ヘリコプター遊覧

Reviewed by: 石川敏也

On October 17, 2016, I participated in a helicopter tour of the Big Island starting at 8:20 AM. It was my first time on a helicopter, so I was both nervous and excited. The moment we took off was just as I imagined, and the sensation of rising was incredibly interesting. The helicopter I boarded had windows made of clear acrylic down to the floor, giving me a real feeling of floating in the air, which was amazing.

We took off at 9:20 AM and headed towards the Halemaʻumaʻu Crater, passing over a U.S. Army base. It didn’t look as red as it did the night before, but due to recent significant magma rise, I could see some red lava moving in parts of the crater. The helicopter continued flying along the coast, where we witnessed the lava ocean entry. This is where lava flowing from the crater enters the sea, causing the water to boil violently and steam to rise, creating a spectacular sight.

After that, we landed at Hilo Airport to refuel and took off again 15 minutes later. This was also a restroom break for us. In the second half of the tour, we flew north along the east coast and saw the waterfalls in Waipiʻo Valley, which can only be accessed by helicopter. When the helicopter got close to the cliffs to see the waterfall up close, it was thrilling.

On the way back, we ascended above the clouds and enjoyed the view of the sea of clouds and the towering Mauna Kea. After a safe landing, we returned to the hotel and went shopping at a large shopping mall called Queens' Marketplace until it was time for our flight back to Oahu. I bought local specialties like Kona coffee here. This concluded the main event of my trip.

2016/10/17は、
朝8:20からハワイ島ヘリコプターツアーに参加しました。
ヘリコプターに乗るのは初めてなので緊張しながらワクワクしていました。
搭乗して飛び上がった瞬間は想像通りとはいえ上昇感覚が大変面白かったです。
今回搭乗したヘリは窓が足元まで透明なアクリルで出来ていて、
本当に空中を浮遊している実感が有り、すごかったです。
9時20分に離陸し、
米陸軍基地の上空を通過してハレマウマウ火口に向かいました。
前日の夜に見た時ほど赤く見えませんでしたが、
ここ最近マグマ上昇が顕著だったため火口の一部に赤い溶岩がうごめくのが見れました。
ヘリはそのまま沿岸沿いに飛行し溶岩のオーシャンエントリーを見ました。
これは、火口から流れ出した溶岩が海に流れ込み
その熱で海が激しく沸騰して水蒸気が立ち上っている場所で、大迫力でした。
その後、ヒロ空港に給油のため着陸し15分後離陸しました。
人間は、ここでトイレ休憩でした。
後半は東沿岸を北上し、ヘリでしか行くことのできないワイピオ渓谷の滝を見ました。
滝を間近で見るため断崖絶壁のすぐそばまでヘリが近づいたときはスリル満点でした。
帰りは雲の上まで上昇し、雲海とそびえたつマウナケア山を鑑賞しました。
無事着陸後、ホテルに戻りオアフ島に帰る飛行機の時間まで
クイーンズ・マーケットプレイスという大型ショッピングモールに行き買い物をしました。
ここで地元特産のコナコーヒーなどを買いました。
こうして今回の旅のメインイベントが終わりました。

This was by far the best tour we had done in Hawaii. Marcus the tour guide was top notch. Marcus knew so much about the area, the culture, plants, animals and was just a funny great person to be around. You ride in style in the plush Mercedes van. He took you to many different area's and we even got to see lava flowing, served lunch and to end the night a 5 star restaurant. Everything was included in your price of your tour. By far a MUST do while in Hawaii. You will not be disappointed in this tour or Marcus.

You'd be missing out if you don't go. It was definitely not an expensive helicopter cruise. 乗らないと損。決して高くないヘリクルーズでした。

Reviewed by: HONU

The Japanese staff provided a fun and entertaining helicopter cruise tour. We went with the intention of seeing Kilauea Volcano, but we were told that Waipi'o Valley is the number one spot. When we flew through the valley, we saw a rainbow from the waterfall, and I found myself moved to tears.

Since it's a place you can only reach by helicopter, it's definitely not overpriced. The grandeur of nature makes your worries seem insignificant. I can definitely recommend this experience. You can also purchase a DVD with footage of our flight route, the inside of the helicopter, the commentary, and background music (it was around $45). I will definitely ride again next time.

日本語スタッフさんがおもしろおかしくヘリクルーズツアーをしてくれました。
キラウエア火山目当てでいきましたが、ワイピオ渓谷がNo1と伝えられ、いざ渓谷のはざまをヘリで飛び、滝からの虹も見れ、気づいたら感動で泣いてしまったくらいです。
ヘリでしか行けない場所なので、決して高くない。そして、悩んでることとかがちっぽけだと大自然の迫力にやられます。確実におすすめできます。
自分達が飛んだルートやヘリ内の様子、トークやBGMが詰まった世界で1枚のDVDデータも購入できます。（＄45くらいだったかな）次回もまた絶対乗ります。

We were on this tour on the island of Kauai, as two hurricanes were predicted to hit the Hawaiian Islands. The tour staff were so helpful in helping us prepare in the event of a hurricane (which did not hit, thankfully.) They took their time and even stopped by the WalMart for us to buy some items in case of power outage.
Wendy was our tour guide, and Anthony was our driver. We were in awe of the amount of information these two have about the history, culture, movie stars, and environment. Wendy is hilarious! Not only is she a wealth of information, she kept us laughing the whole trip.
The tour is as advertised. We felt this tour was a very good value for the price paid, and highly recommend this tour!!

My first time in Hawaii! 初めてのハワイ島☆

Reviewed by: Chabee☆

I used the service on September 25, 2015.

As expected, Big Island‼︎
The views from the sky were breathtaking.

The opportunity arose on our first day in Hawaii Island when we found the helicopter pad, Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, on the way from the airport to the hotel‼︎
Originally, we planned to go to Kilauea, but the moment I saw the helicopter... I couldn't suppress the desire to see everything from above(^^;;

On our last day on Hawaii Island, we had a morning flight at 7 AM to Honolulu, and fortunately, we were blessed with clear skies. We were able to fully enjoy places and views that we could never have accessed on our own, and we had a wonderful time.

The English guide was entertaining and explained things in a clear manner, sometimes seriously, and he engaged with us throughout the flight. At the scenic points, he maneuvered the helicopter 360° so that everyone could see the same view. Thanks to the pilot's kindness and cheerfulness, the atmosphere was relaxed throughout the journey♪
For my husband and me, who were visiting Hawaii Island for the first time, it was the perfect activity.
And this year, our late summer vacation will be... Maui!
I think we will be relying on VELTRA again.
I'm looking forward to it☆

2015年9月25日に利用させていただきました。

さすが、Big Island‼︎
空から眺める景色はどれも圧巻でした。

きっかけは、ハワイ島初日、空港からホテルに向かう途中に見つけたヘリポート、ブルーハワイアンヘリコプターズ‼︎
元々、キラウエアに行く予定でいましたが、ヘリを見た瞬間…上から眺めたい欲望が抑えられませんでした(^^;;

ハワイ島最終日、お昼にはホノルルへ向かう為、朝イチ7時のフライトでしたが、運良く晴天にも恵まれ、決して自分達だけでは行けない場所、見れない景色を十分に堪能でき、素敵な時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

英語ガイドでしたが、面白おかしく、時には真面目に分かりやすく説明して下さり、何かと声を掛けて頂き、絶景ポイントでは全員が同じ景色を見れるよう360°操縦してくれます。パイロットの優しさと陽気さで、移動中は終始和やかムード♪
初ハワイ島の私達夫婦にとっては、ピッタリのアクティビティでした。
そして、今年も遅い私達の夏休みは…マウイ島！
