Since I was pregnant, I had to give up hiking, but I was able to enjoy the great outdoors on this sightseeing flight tour! There were many waterfalls, and I got to see breathtaking views that I've never seen before! Also, since it was whale watching season, we were able to see several whales from the Cessna plane! The family I was with was so excited about the whales that the pilot adjusted our route to chase after them, showing how flexible and accommodating he was in the moment!
妊娠中だったため、ハイキングは断念し、こちらの遊覧飛行ツアーで大自然を楽しむことができました!
滝がたくさんあって、みたことのない絶景をたくさんみることができました!!
また、ホエールウォッチングのシーズンということもあり、セスナ機?の中からも複数のホエールを見ることができました!同乗した家族がホエールに興奮していたので、パイロットが追いかけてくれたりと、その場その場で融通がきくパイロットさんでした!
セスナ機の羽についてるGo proの映像の購入費は高いので、ご自身で撮影されることをお勧めします!

My first helicopter tour. I never imagined it would be this wonderful. It takes you to places that you can't reach by car or on foot in just one flight. I can't wait for the next opportunity.
初めてのヘリコプター遊覧。こんなに素晴らしいとは思っても見なかった。車でも徒歩でも行けない所もひとっ飛び。次の機会が楽しみ。
If you haven't ridden it before, I recommend boarding it first.
乗った事が無ければ、先ず搭乗をお勧めします。

When you think of Kauai, you think of the Na Pali Coast. The Na Pali Coast is a breathtaking view that can only be seen by boat, air, or through strenuous trekking. I went trekking, but I wanted to see the whole thing from a boat or by air, so I did some research and ultimately decided that seeing it from above would be best.
Helicopter tours were about twice the price, and boat tours were over 30,000 yen, while this one was in the 20,000 yen range, so I chose this option. Honestly, I felt that 20,000 yen was a great deal for such an amazing experience! I made the right choice!
The stunning views were overwhelming. I was worried about turbulence, but it felt just like being on a regular airplane, and I wasn't scared at all (the pilot was very skilled). Although I'm not fluent in English, the pilot was considerate and chatted with us, guiding us by saying things like, "We're right above here," which made the experience very enjoyable.
We were told to leave our bags in the car, so we weighed ourselves with just our cameras and essentials. There were five of us in total. The other three were all larger individuals, weighing around 70 to 100 kg, and it seemed like the heavier people got the front seats. There were three single seats in a row, and the back had two connected seats, which is where we sat.
In the end, I think the size of the windows and the wide view we had, being away from the wings and wheels, gave us the best angles for photos.
I heard that the mountains look beautiful in the afternoon when the sun is up, so I booked a 2:00 PM flight. The Waimea side was a bit cloudy, but it was absolutely stunning! It was great to see the places I had walked a few days earlier, like the Kalalau Trail and the Kilauea Lighthouse, from above again. I recommend doing this activity later in your trip.
I stayed in Kauai for six days, but the memories from this activity left the strongest impression on me, and I'm really glad I did it. Honestly, if you do this, you might feel satisfied enough not to do anything else. It was truly amazing! I highly recommend it!
カウアイ島といえばナパリ―コースト。ナパリ―コーストは船か飛行か過酷トレッキングでしか見ることができない絶景。トレッキングには行ったけれど、船か飛行で全体を観たいと思い色々調べていて、やっぱり上空からが良さそうだなと思い飛行を選択。
ヘリだと倍ぐらいの料金だったし、船だと3万円以上でこちらは2万円台だったのでこちらにしました。正直2万円台じゃ安いと思うぐらい最高な体験でした!こっちで大正解!
もう感動の絶景の嵐でした。揺れるかなと心配でしたが、普通の飛行機に乗ってるようなレベルでまったく怖くなかったです。(パイロットの運転がうまかった)
英語が堪能ではありませんが、パイロットが気遣って話しかけてくれたり、今ここの上空ですよ~とガイドしてくれたりしてすごく楽しめました。
カメラ以外の荷物は車に置いてね、ということで荷物は車に置いてカメラなど持って行くものを持った状態で体重測定。私の時は全部で5人。私達以外の3人はみんな大きい人で70~100kgぐらいありそうでしたが、体重が重い人ほど前の席という感じでした…1人席が3列あって後ろの席が2席繋がってる感じで私たちはそこでした。
でも結果的に窓の大きさと見える範囲の広さ、翼や車輪から離れているので撮れる画角は一番良かったのではないかと思います。
ナパリ―コーストは太陽が昇っている午後の方が山々の筋が綺麗に見れると聞いて14:00のフライトを予約しました。ワイメア側は少し曇っていたけれどとにかく絶景でした!数日前に歩いたカララウトレイルの場所やキラウエア灯台など、先に行った場所をもう一度上空から見れたのでよかった。旅行後半に行くのをおすすめします。
カウアイ島には6日間滞在しましたが、このアクティビティの思い出の印象が最も強く、本当にやってよかったです。なんならこれさえ押さえれば他いかなくてもいいぐらい満足できます。本当に最高でした!超おすすめします!
I recommend wearing black clothing because shadows will be reflected on the window glass.
窓ガラスに反射して人影が写ってしまうので黒い服を着ていくことをおすすめします。

Due to weather conditions, we had to re-schedule 3 times, but we were so glad we finally got to go up. Marcus was our pilot and he was fabulous. He was very friendly and so informative on our flight. We ended up going on our last day in Kauai, but it was the best ending ever. I highly recommend Wings over Kauai….it allowed us a chance to see parts of the island (oh so many waterfalls and rocky cliffs) that you can’t see from the ground. We also felt the price was quite reasonable for this experience. We definitely recommend this experience!! A great way to spend our 30th anniversary!

My husband, Eric, and I were excited to ride in a helicotper ride while on our honeymoon. It was a first time adventure for either of us as we had never 1) been to Hawaii before and 2) ridden a helicopter before. The adventure happened early in the day, and we enjoyed some beautiful sites. I particularly enjoyed seeing the beautiful clear water of the ocean and the rust colored Waimea Canyon.
Mahalo for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that you and Eric had an unforgettable helicopter ride during your honeymoon. It's fantastic that you got to explore Hawaii for the first time together, and we couldn't agree more about the breathtaking views.
The clear blue waters and the stunning rust-colored Waimea Canyon truly are sights to behold! We're so glad you enjoyed the early morning adventure and the beautiful sights that Kauai has to offer. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and we hope this is just the beginning of many more adventures together.
Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your special memories, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for your next Hawaiian adventure!

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

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。
