We had a fantastic tour with a fun and experienced crew. Saw the sights, heard the history and made us want more. Thank you Kona and Captain for building our memories on Kauai. Those dolphins and whales provided a great show!
Remember if you wear hats to fasten them as the wind may well take them!

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!
The cost of purchasing footage from the GoPro attached to the Cessna's wing is high, so I recommend filming it yourself!

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.

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.

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!

Pilot Asa was fluent in Japanese and provided explanations in both English and Japanese, which was very helpful! Japanese was definitely easier to understand, allowing for a deeper comprehension. The piloting was careful, and they made an effort to minimize turbulence. I didn't get motion sickness, but my daughters in the back seat felt a bit nauseous and said they should have taken motion sickness medication. On the day of the flight, the visibility was excellent, and we were able to see places that are usually obscured by clouds, which I think was lucky.
パイロットのアサさんが日本語堪能で、英語に続き日本語でも説明してくれたので、とても良かったです!
やはり日本語の方がわかりやすいので、より理解が深まりました。
操縦も丁寧で、なるべく揺れないよう気を遣って下さいました。
私は酔わなかったのですが、後部座席の娘達は少し酔ってしまったので、酔い止めを飲んでおけば良かったと言っていました。
当日は視界良好で、いつもは雲がかかっていて見えない事が多い所も見えてますよ、教えて下さり、ラッキーだったと思います。
If you are prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance.

The boat was very bare bones and not fancy. Like I say, you get what you pay for. We have taken a more expensive NaPali coast snorkeling trip in a very nice boat but I was okay with paying less and having a smaller, less plushy boat so we could go deeper in the sea caves; however, we never even stopped to snorkel. I had to ask because we were never even told why we didn’t snorkel. They said it was too windy. I’m not sure I believed them. We did stop on the way back to jump in if we wanted. You pay the same whether you get to snorkel or not. I guess we should have booked the morning tour. Maybe chances of snorkeling are better. Next time I’d pay more for a comfy boat, with more room.
Take the morning time slot for better chance of snorkeling.

I heard that a Black pilot has also been to Japan and visited some niche tourist spots there. I sincerely apologize if this is perceived as racial discrimination, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear a Black person speaking Japanese honorifics so smoothly. The piloting was also careful, and I felt safe during the flight. If you are visiting Kauai, I highly recommend this tour.
黒人のパイロットさんで日本に来たこともあるそうで、日本でも玄人好みの観光地にいらっしゃったらそうです。
