All Reviews for Helicopter & Airplane Tours

wonderful experience upgraded to ultimate package well worth the extra $$$

It was an incredibly fun and happy time. I was amazed by the breathtaking views and the skydiving experience!! The instructors were all veterans, so I felt safe and enjoyed myself.

If I ever go to Hawaii again, I will definitely go skydiving once more!

最高に楽しく幸せな時間でした。絶景と空中遊泳に感激！！
インストラクターさんもみなさん、ベテランで安心して楽しめました。

いつかまたハワイに行ったらもう一度、スカイダイビングしちゃいます！

Overall, the sky is amazing. However, I ended up feeling unwell (~_~;) After flying, I experienced nausea and dizziness! This time, about 20 people flew at the same time, and only two of us felt sick... I was one of them. But the sky is truly wonderful. Everyone should try flying at least once.

Now, regarding the passage of time, we went to the site by rental car, but since we arrived after the tour, we had to fill out paperwork afterward and ended up waiting about two and a half hours before flying. It seems that during busy seasons, the wait can be even longer. Therefore, if you're going by rental car, it's better to arrive before the tour groups show up. They say to arrive by 8:30, but I think getting there before 7:30 would allow you to fly sooner.

At the site, there's an 80-year-old man named Masa who manages the Japanese guests. However, since he also handles the tour pickups, there are no Japanese speakers around during that time. If you’re told to wait by the foreign girl at the reception, you might end up waiting over an hour without being called. So, I think it's better to speak up, even with broken English, and push your way in.

The order in which you fly is mostly determined by the order in which you submit your paperwork, so once you arrive, make sure to get the forms and fill them out. As long as you're feeling well, I think it will be a fantastic experience. Oh, and don't forget to give Masa a tip. He's a really nice old man!

基本、空は素晴らしいです。ただ自分はやられちゃいました(~_~;)
飛んだ後に吐き気とめまい！今回は約２０人位が同じ時間帯に飛んだのですが、やられちゃった人が2人でした。。その中の1人です。。でも空は素晴らしいですよ。。皆さんも一度は飛んでみてください。。　
さて、時間の経過ですが自分達は2人でレンタカーで現地に行ったのですがツアーの後に着いたので記入書類がその後になり飛ぶまでに２時間半位は待ちました。繁盛記だともっと待つようです。。　ですのでレンタカーで行く人はツアーの人たちがくるまでに現地に到着した方が良いでしょう。８時半までに来てください。とありますが７時半前には行った方が早く飛べると思います。　現地では８０歳？のおじいちゃんでマサさんという人が日本人を仕切ってくれていますがツアーの送迎もやっているので送迎中は日本人はいませんから、受付の外人の女の子に待っててと言われてそのままにしていると平気で１時間以上も声がかからないですからﾌﾞﾛｰｸﾝｲﾝｸﾞﾘｯｼｭでもどんどん声をかけて捻じ込んでいった方が良いと思います。
現地で書類を記入して提出した順番で飛ぶ順番がほぼ決まりますので、現地に着いたらますは記入書類を手に入れて記入してください。
体調さえ良ければ素晴らしい体験になると思います。そうそうマサさんにもチップを上げてくださいね。。とっても良いおじいちゃんですからね。。

Skydiving itself was the best experience. It was an amazing experience that went by in the blink of an eye! I was already moved by the beautiful scenery as we ascended in the Cessna, but the sensation of falling through the clouds was something I had never experienced before, and it was strangely pleasant. After the parachute opened, it felt just like a walk in the sky. Combined with the excitement of falling, I was shouting "awesome! awesome!"

I hardly felt any fear once we started falling, and I truly understood why people get hooked on skydiving.

Ah, I want to jump again!

　スカイダイビング自体は最高の体験ができました。
あっという間の最高の体験！セスナで上昇していく時点で美しい景色に感動を覚えていましたが、雲に落ちていく感覚はこれまで味わったことのないものでしたし、不思議と気持ち良い体験でした。パラシュートが開いた後は、まさに空中散歩といった感じ。落ちてきた興奮とあいまってawesome!awesome!と叫んでました。

落ち始めてからの恐怖感は全くと言っていいほどなくて、スカイダイビングにはまる人の気持ちが身に染みました。

あーもっかい飛びたい。

Unlike when I jumped in Australia, there was a thrilling sensation of falling towards the sea. The instructors were all handsome. However, the driving during the transfer was rough, and I got motion sickness.

オーストラリアで飛んだ時と違って、海に向かって落ちていく迫力がありました。
インストラクターもイケメン揃い。
ただ、送迎の運転が荒くて酔いました。

Amazing!!!!
I was able to fly without any worries and had a great time. It was reassuring that Japanese was spoken, but the guide wasn't very friendly. I would have appreciated a note about needing to tip. It seems the standard is $20 for the tandem partner, $20 for the photographer, and $10 for the Japanese guide. I was planning to fly the day before my departure, so I was mostly using my card and ended up short on cash for tips, which was a bit of a problem. Of course, tips are based on your feelings, but I felt bad not being able to tip properly after receiving such wonderful service.
But it was the best experience. There are skydiving options with insurance, but having insurance means there could be accidents. It seems there have been no fatal accidents here so far. I really felt safe while flying.

By the way, adding photos costs an extra $120, and a package of photos and video is $180. It's expensive, but I bought it as a keepsake. I'm satisfied that I could show it to my family when I returned home.

最高！！！！
全く不安もなく、楽しく飛べました。日本語が通じるので安心でしたが、愛想はあんまりないガイドさんでした。チップが必要で、その記載があると嬉しかったです。タンデムしてくれる人に２０ドル、カメラさんに２０ドル、日本ガイドに１０ドルが相場のようで、最終日前日に飛ぼうと思ってたので、基本カード生活していたて、チップが足りず困ってしまいました。もちろん、チップなので気持ちで前後するのですが、すばらしいサービスを受けたのにチップをちゃんと払えず、申し訳なかったです。
でも最高でした。保険付きのスカイダイビングもありますが、保険がつくということは事故があるという事。ここは今まで死亡事故等は一切ないようです。本当に安心して飛べました。

ちなみに、写真をつけるとプラス１２０ドル、ビデオと写真がセットで１８０ドルです。高いですが、記念と思って購入しました。帰国して家族にも見せれて満足です。

It was my first skydiving experience on my honeymoon, and it was an incredible experience. The instructor who jumped with me made the conversation enjoyable with jokes, which added to the fun. I would love to do it again if I have the chance. The waiting time is long, so I recommend bringing a guidebook or something to read.

The photos are a bit pricey, but they make for a great keepsake!

新婚旅行で初めてのスカイダイビングでしたがすごく貴重な体験が出来ました。
一緒に飛んでくれるインストラクターもジョークを交えながら会話してくれるので楽しいです。機会があればまたやりたいと思いました。
待ち時間は長いのでガイドブックなどを持って行くといいと思います。

写真は少し高いですが記念になりますよ！！

It was my first time skydiving in my life! Everyone in the group was Japanese, and the driver was also Japanese, so I felt at ease. However, the instructor who jumped with me was quite casual... While others were practicing how to jump, I was just fitted with the harness and that was it. I was watching a video on the bus, so I felt somewhat okay, but I was a little anxious. The skydiving itself was fun!

人生初のスカイダイビングでした！
グループ全員が日本人で、運転手さんも日本人だったので安心でした。
ただ、一緒に飛んでもらったインストラクターの人が結構テキトー・・・
他の人は飛び方の練習などしてましたが、私だけハーネスを付けるだけで終了。
バスでビデオを見ていたので何となく大丈夫でしたが、ちょっと不安でした
スカイダイビング自体は楽しかったです！

Diving from 4200 meters is exhilarating! When I go to Hawaii next time, I will definitely challenge myself again. I can't forget that feeling even after returning home.

4200mからのダイブは爽快！
ハワイに行ったら次回も必ず挑戦あいます。あの感覚が帰国してからも忘れられません。

The instructors were really cheerful, and all my worries disappeared at once. The weather was great, and it felt really wonderful! I would love to do it again if I have the chance.

インストラクターの人達も凄い陽気で不安が一気になくなりました。
天気もよく本当に凄く気持ちよかった!!
機会があればまたしたいと思います。

I took the plunge and tried it! It was amazing…! It was full of thrills. I'm glad I experienced it! I have no regrets. I felt nauseous once I was back on the ground, and since I’m satisfied with this experience, I won’t do it again. However, I highly recommend it to those who are interested. Just be aware that it can take a toll on your body, and I needed to rest at the hotel until the afternoon, so it's best for those without plans. Everyone else seemed fine.

思いきってトライ！すごかった…！
スリル満点でした。経験してよかった！悔いはありません。私は地上に降りたら気持ち悪くなってしまったのと、今回で満足したので二度とやりませんが、気になっている方には強くおすすめします。ただし、身体へのダメージも大きく、午後になるまでホテルで休憩が必要だったので予定がない方が安心です。みなさんは平気そうでした。

We challenged ourselves as a couple!
I was really scared before jumping, but after I jumped, it was truly amazing!
Experiencing weightlessness while looking down at the ocean view in Hawaii is going to be addictive.
I will definitely do it again the next time I go to Hawaii!

夫婦で挑戦しました！
飛ぶ前はかなり怖かったけど、
飛び出した後は本当に最高！
ハワイのオーシャンビューを見下ろしながらの無重力体験は、病みつきになりそうです(￣▽￣)
また、ハワイに行く時は必ずやりますよ（＾ω＾）

I was able to experience something for the first time, albeit for a short time, at my father-in-law's request, and I am satisfied. Next time, I would like to leisurely enjoy the tour on a calm day.

義父のリクエストで、短時間でしたが、初めて体験する事が出来、満足です。次回は、穏やかな日にゆっくり遊覧したい。

It was much better than I expected!!
I will fly every time I come to Hawaii!!
The staff were cheerful, polite, and really made it a lot of fun!
I had a truly great experience.

思ってた何倍も良かった！！
ハワイに来たら毎回飛びます！！
スタッフの方も陽気で丁寧でめっちゃ楽しませてくれます！
本当に良い体験が出来ました。

I had to wait quite a while due to strong winds, but it was super fun. We jumped in suddenly without any video or lecture. However, maybe it was more relaxing because I didn't have any prior knowledge.

強風でかなり待たされたが超楽しかった
が 全くVIDEOもレクチャーなしでいきなり飛んだ
でも、逆に予備知識がなかった分気楽だったかも

I felt a bit nauseous in the pickup truck because I had to fill out a waiver. Moreover, the explanations playing in the car were lively, making it hard to sleep...

Once we arrived at the location, we listened to the options for photos and DVDs, and we decided to include the photos. However, the actual event was also recorded on video. After the jump, we watched the photos and videos. Can we add more videos after watching them?

The waiting time before boarding the plane and after the jump is long, so it's a good idea to bring some snacks. I thought it would be cold when jumping, but surprisingly it felt normal. In fact, since I was flying with the instructor, I felt warmth from their back.

I was nervous before the jump, but I’m glad I experienced it! I would love to do it again if I get the chance!

ピックアップの車の中は誓約書をかくので酔いそうになりました。しかも車の中で流れる説明がにぎやかで眠れない…
現地についたら
写真やDVDのオプション説明をきき、私たちは写真をつけました。
でも本番は動画も撮られていました。
とび終わると写真と動画を見ます。
見た後に動画の追加も出来ます？
飛行機に乗るまでの待ち時間や跳び終わった後の待ち時間は長いので何か食べ物を持っていくと良いです。
飛び降りるときは寒いと思っていましたが意外と普通。むしろインストラクターの方と飛ぶので接してる背中が暑くなりました。
飛ぶ前は緊張しましたが、体験して良かったです！
また出来たらやりたいです！

When I boarded the plane, I was initially nervous and just wanted to get off, but during the flight, I was able to have a great time with everyone else on board and the instructor! A breathtaking view unfolded before my eyes for the first time, and I was really glad to see such beautiful scenery from the dive until landing!!! It was an emotional experience☆ I definitely want to participate again☆

飛行機に乗り込んだときは最初緊張でもう降ろしてｰーーーって感じでしたが、フライト中も一緒に乗っていたみんなとインストラクターさんと楽しく過ごす事ができました！！初めて観る光景が目の前に広がり、ダイブしてから着地するまですごくキレイな景色を観れて本当に良かったです！！！感動体験でした☆また是非参加したいです☆

The most indescribable feeling and experience ever! I didn't get nervous until we were just about to jump but my tandem jumper (Bryan) was calm and confident and knew what he was doing. The view was incredible and I would highly recommend doing this! I would suggest wearing pants and/or long sleeve shirt. When you're up that high and falling that fast it was a little chilly (not terrible though). I was in shorts and tshirt and it was high 70s and partly cloudy.
I would definitely jump with them again!!!!

It was my first time skydiving.

The person who picked us up was Japanese, and we completed the paperwork before arriving at the site.

Once we arrived, we watched a Japanese explanation video and were quickly taken onto the plane.

The person who jumped with me didn't speak much Japanese, but they made jokes and kept things fun.

After jumping out of the plane, I enjoyed the scenery while spiraling down, looking for sea turtles, and taking in the views of the mountains and the ocean.

The only moment I felt scared was for about a second after jumping out of the plane. After that, it was so much fun that I wanted to keep flying forever.

On the way back, we had to wait for the other participants to finish their jumps, so the time to return to Waikiki varies quite a bit depending on the day.

I definitely want to participate again.

初めてのスカイダイビングでした。

送迎の方が日本人で、現地に着くまでに
書類のサインをすませます。

現地に着いたら、日本語の説明ビデオで説明をきき、
割りとあっさり飛行機に乗せられます。

一緒に飛んでくれる方は日本語はあまり話せませんが、
冗談をいったりして、楽しませてくれます。

飛行機から飛び出したあとは、
景色を楽しみながら旋回したり、
海ガメを探したり
山と海の景色を満喫しながら降りていきます。

怖いと思ったのは飛行機から飛び出した1秒くらい。
あとは楽しすぎていつまでも飛んでいたくなりました。

帰りは参加者が飛び終わるのを待つので、
ワイキキに帰る時間は
日によってかなり変わるそうです。




また絶対に参加したいです。

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and my husband wanted to go skydiving. I’m not good with heights, but I jumped on my birthday in Japan time. Once I was in the air, it wasn't scary at all; it was really fun, and the weather was great with beautiful views! The instructor didn't speak Japanese, so we didn't communicate at all, but the cameraman spoke a little Japanese and was really cool and fun, which made the experience enjoyable and helped me relax while jumping.

新婚旅行ということでハワイに行ったのですが、旦那がスカイダイビングしたいと言い出し、私は高い所が苦手でしたが日本時間の私の誕生日の日に飛びました。
飛んでしまえば全然怖くなく、すごく楽しいし晴れてて景色も良かったです！
インストラクターは日本語が話せない人だったので全く会話してないのですが、カメラマンは少し日本語が話せて格好良く、すごく楽しい人だったので、飛んでる最中も楽しませてくれて、とてもリラックスして飛ぶことが出来ました＼(^o^)／

It was my honeymoon, but my wife decided not to go, so I participated alone. I had always wanted to try skydiving at least once in my life, and when I found out I could do it cheaply in Hawaii, I signed up.

In reality, the dive was from such a high place that I could see the shape of Oahu, and the scenery was amazing. It felt incredible, and it was the best moment. I hadn't signed up for the DVD, but since they filmed it, I bought it. However, it was more expensive than the skydiving itself, and my wife got mad at me. But when I returned home and showed it to everyone, they all said they wanted to try it too, so I felt it was worth buying.

Since the waiting time is long, it's a good idea to bring snacks like bread.

新婚旅行でしたが、嫁は行かないとのことで、一人で参加しました。
もともとスカイダイビングは一生に一回はしてみたいと思っていたら、ハワイだと安くでできると知り申し込みました。
実際は、オアフ島の形が見えるほど高いところからのﾀﾞｲﾌﾞで、景色はすばらしいし、ほんとに気持ちよくて最高の瞬間でした。
DVD申し込んでなかったけど、撮っててくれたので買いましたが、ｽｶｲﾀﾞｲﾋﾞﾝｸﾞより値段が高かくて嫁に怒られました。しかし、帰国して、皆にみせると、皆もやってみたいと言ってもらえるような迫力ある映像で、買ってよかったなと思います。
待ち時間が長いので、パンなど持って行ったほうがいいです。

I challenged myself to skydiving based at Dillingham Airfield.

I was picked up from my hotel in Waikiki at 7:00 and arrived at the airfield by 8:30. After a brief explanation, I signed a waiver stating, "I take full responsibility for everything that happens," and then it was time to skydive.

Of course, I couldn't jump alone, so I did a tandem jump with an instructor. After getting strapped into the harness, we boarded the Cessna and ascended into the sky...

And then, we dove into the open air!

The view and exhilaration were beyond my imagination.

If you want photos, a dedicated photographer will jump with you. I requested photos for a keepsake, but the beauty of the scenery was so overwhelming that I completely forgot about the camera, and there are hardly any pictures of me looking at the camera.

In any case, skydiving is an activity I highly recommend.

However, it's important to note that accidents in skydiving are not nonexistent. In Hawaii, there have been fatal accidents in the past.

If you decide to try skydiving, it's necessary to approach it with a serious mindset, not lightly.

The cost for a dive from 14,000 feet is $185 (including round-trip shuttle service to Waikiki), and you should tip the instructor $20 after the dive. While $20 for a tip might seem high, considering the experience of gliding through the sky from nearly 4,000 meters and enjoying the view without any injuries, I think it's not too much when viewed as a safety fee.

If you wish to have photos taken, the dedicated photographer will also descend with you, so the photography fee is $120 + a $20 tip. The photographer also captures videos, and after the dive, you can check the video and purchase it if you like (it was about $30 extra on top of the photo fee).

ディリンハム飛行場をベースとするスカイダイビングに挑戦してきました。

ワイキキのホテルを7：00にピックアップされ、8：30には飛行場に到着。
そして、簡単な説明のあと、【何があっても全ての責任は自分にあることを誓います】と云う誓約書にサインをし、スカイダイビングに挑戦です。

もちろん、一人では飛べないのでインストラクターとのタンデム飛行。
ハーネスをとりつけ、セスナに乗り込み、上空へ…。

そして、大空へダイブ！

想像以上のすばらしい景色と高揚感でした。

写真を希望する場合は専属のカメラマンが一緒に飛んでくれます。
私も、記念にと写真をお願いしましたが、カメラマンを意識する余裕もないくらいの景色の美しさに、カメラの存在をすっかり失念し、カメラ目線の写真はほとんどありませんでした。

とにかく、スカイダイビングは、お勧めのアクティビティです。

しかし、スカイダイビングでは事故が皆無なわけではありません。
ハワイでは、過去に死亡事故も発生しています。

スカイダイビングの挑戦する場合には、軽い気持ちではなく、それなりの覚悟をして臨むことも必要です。

14000feetからの降下で1ダイブ185US$（ワイキキまでの往復シャトルサービス込）、ダイビング後はインストラクターさんにチップ（20US$）が必要です。チップに20 US$って高い気がしますが、4000ｍ近い上空から、大空を滑空し、地球の丸さを感じながら景色を楽しみ、怪我一つせずに地上に下ろしてもらえるのです。安全料だと思えばそんなに高くないと思います。

写真撮影を希望する場合は、専属のカメラマンも一緒に降下するので撮影料：120US$+チップ20US$が必要となります。カメラマンさんは写真以外に動画も撮影していて、ダイビング後に動画をチェックして、気に入れば動画も買うことができます。（確か写真代金+30 US$位）でした。

Skydiving is the best.
It's a waste not to experience it.
I want to jump again.
The driver was fun,
the instructor was kind,
and the cameraman was cool.
I was happy! ♡

スカイダイビング最高
経験しないともったいない
また飛びたいです
ドライバーも楽しく
インストラクターも優しく
カメラマンも格好よく
Happyだった♡

My first skydiving experience. I'm glad I did it in Hawaii! It was so much fun that I would love to do it again if I get the chance.

初めてのスカイダイビング。ハワイでやってよかったです！とても楽しかったので、また出来たらやりたいです(^^)

I have gone through times of being phobic to fly, I never imagined flying a plane myself but my instructor seemed to make it easy to take off, fly and even land. So much fun!!

At first, I was nervous, but it was amazing. I want to do it again! When I went to the drop point, I was lucky to see a whale. Well, from up in the sky, it looked like a tiny dot, though, lol.

はじめはドキドキでしたが、サイコーでした。
もう一度やりたい！
落下ポイントに行くときに、クジラも見えたのでラッキーでした。
まぁ、上空からなので豆粒みたいでいたけどｗ

Choosing Paradise Helicopters was the best thing I've done while in Hawaii. The staff was courteous and very professional. You knew right away you and your family were in good hands. The ride was superb and worth the money you pay! They don't charge as much as other companies do!!

Absolutely fantastic! Our pilot, Josh, was extremely knowledgeable about Oahu and the sites we flew over. Had the one hour tour and was able to get fantastic photos. Strongly recommended to anyone wanting an informed view from the skies.

I couldn't ride the free fall at the amusement park before, but this time I was determined to give it a try. When the moment came, I dove out of the plane with momentum! It was scary at first, but once I consciously relaxed, the beauty of the scenery that unfolded was amazing! I'm glad I experienced it. I definitely want to recommend it!

遊園地のフリーホールも乗れなかったのですが、今回は気合を入れてTRYしてみました。いざその場になると勢いで飛行機からダイブ！瞬間は怖かったけれど、意識的に力を抜いたらそこに広がる景色の美しいこと！体験してよかったです。是非お勧めしたい！

The company was very professional. The pilot was very knowledgeable and personable and provided a great narration. We saw 2/3rds of the island and had some exciting moments flying over cliffs and through valleys. Unfortunately, the hull-mounted video camera quit working just 5 minutes into the 45 minute ride. We were certain we wanted to buy the video of our flight and the accompanying narration so we were disappointed that it wasn't going to be possible. The company provided us with a sales DVD that included many of the same sights we experienced, however, the special nature of the video of our flight was lost.
