Since childhood, I have dreamed of flying and wanted to become a pilot, but my mother, who was in charge of career guidance at home, dismissed my aspirations with a simple "no." I had been simmering with this dream for a long time, but after watching Mr. Onoda pilot a Cessna in Hawaii on YouTube, I thought, "This is it!" and I was inspired. After 50 years, my "dream" came true in Hawaii. Due to the weather, we were initially scheduled for the west course, but thanks to the captain's decisive choice, we flew the east course instead. Peering down at Diamond Head from above was the most amazing experience. The staff were incredibly kind, which made it even better. They provided round-trip transportation from the hotel, and we had such lively conversations that there was no time to feel nervous. I said my goodbyes, looking forward to next year, and it was a pleasant farewell. I've already booked my hotel, so I look forward to coming back.
子供の頃から飛行機に憧れ、パイロットになりたいと実家の進路指導担当の母に申し出てもダメの一言で片付けられてしまいました。以来ずっと燻っていましたが、Youtubeで小野田さんがハワイでセスナ機を操縦するのを観て、これだ!と膝を叩きました。今回50年の時を経て、ハワイで“夢”が叶いました。天気の関係で西コースの予定でしたが、機長の英断で東コースを飛びました。ダイヤモンドヘッドを上から覗き込むなんて最高の体験です。スタッフの皆さんがまた親切でホントに良かったです。ホテルから往復送迎して頂きましたが、会話が弾んで緊張する暇も有りませんでした。また来年もお世話になりますと挨拶をして心地良いお別れをしました。もうホテルは予約しましたので、またお願いします。

The explanation from the pilot was unhelpful. I was told to take the controls, so I grabbed the yoke, but I was cautioned not to grip it too tightly to avoid conflict. When I tried to level the plane, I was met with opposing inputs. The experience of piloting was not enjoyable at all; I was just resting my hands on the controls. Ultimately, I was told that if I kept turning left, I would be reprimanded. I wasn't actually steering; I was just resting my hands, which is why it kept turning left. The inability to assess the situation and the poor explanations were frustrating. I was also instructed to enjoy myself more. I am enjoying myself, but please do not dictate people's emotions.
I fully understand that beginners cannot be entrusted with the controls. However, if you are promoting an experience of piloting, this approach is inappropriate.
The information I received from the driver prior to the experience was completely different. There was no explanation on how to read the instruments. There was a brief explanation on the ground, but that was it.
I understand that communicating with air traffic control can be challenging. However, it is part of the job, and failing to satisfy customers is second-rate. What do you mean by "enjoy it more" when you are so brusque?
The conversation with K, who was assigned today, was the most enjoyable part. The pilot only used technical jargon and showed no willingness to provide clear explanations. I have hundreds of hours of experience with Japan's national license, as an examiner, and in drone training.
You must assess what kind of people come for the experience and provide explanations tailored to each individual. Giving the same brusque explanation to everyone is meaningless.
If I had known the level of the participants, I could have skipped basic explanations like pitch, roll, and yaw, and focused on more important details.
There was a lack of communication between the driver and the pilot. I was instructed not to use yaw, but that is a separate issue altogether.
K later supplemented all the difficult terms. He shared many stories from wartime and emphasized the importance of passing knowledge to the next generation. Without K, I would have wanted a full refund for the experience.
In the car on the way back, the woman in the passenger seat didn't say a word; I wondered what she was there for.
Thank you very much, K and the driver, for your help.
パイロットの説明が不親切。
操縦しろと言うから舵を握る、舵を握れば、喧嘩しないように強く握るな。
水平にしようと舵をきると当て舵をされる。
操縦は全く面白くありませんでした。ただ舵に手を添えているだけ。最終的に左にずっと舵をきっていると注意される。
舵をきっているのではなく、手をそえているだけだから左に曲がっていくだけです。
状況判断も出来ず、説明が下手くそ。
もっと楽しめと指図もされました。
楽しんでいます。人の感情を指示しないでください。
初心者に舵をまかせられないのは重々承知の上です。しかし、体験操縦を謳い文句にしているのであれば、このようなやり方は不適切です。
事前に送り迎えのドライバーに聞いていた内容とは全く異なります。
計器の見方も全く説明なし。地上ではさわり程度に説明がありましたが。
管制官との連絡が大変なのは分かります。しかし、仕事なので、客を満足させられないのは二流、三流です。ぶっきらぼうなくせに何がもっと楽しめだ。
本日から配属になったKさんとの会話が一番楽しかったです。パイロットは、専門用語ばかりを口にし、分かりやすい説明をする気もなし。こちらは日本の国家ライセンス、終了審査員、ドローンの講習を何百時間も行っています。
体験に来た方がどのような人なのかを確認し、それぞれの人に応じた説明をしなければなりません。ぶっきらぼうな同じ説明を万人にしても意味は無し。
体験に来た方のレベルを聞いておけば、pitch、roll、yawなどの基本的な説明を省きもっと重要な説明が出来たと思います。
ドライバーの方とパイロットのコミュニケーション不足です。yawは使わないなどと指示していましたが、そもそもそれ以前の問題です。
Kさんは難しい単語を後から全て補足してくれました。戦争の時の話、次の世代に受け継がなければならないことをたくさん教えてくださいました。Kさんがいなければ、体験費用を全額返金願いたいところです。
帰りの車の中で助手席に乗った女性、一言も話さず、何のために乗っているのか。
Kさん、ドライバーの方本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

We went to a black sand beach, bakery ( try the malasadas they're amazing), craters, lava field, lava tube, and steam vents. We didn't get to try their lunch because someone in the group was car sick(hard to eat when someone is vomiting right in front of you)
For the helicopter ride we went down the coastline instead of over the volcanoes due to weather around there. The pilot was amazing! He was very knowledgeable, funny, and friendly.
This tour would have been a lot better if it wasn't raining (rains there a lot so bring a raincoat just incase) and we didn't have someone who got carsick. That wasn't the tours fault and I definitely would do this tour again.

Once we took off and reached a safe altitude, the piloting experience began. The piloting time was quite long, with 40 minutes of the 60-minute flight dedicated to actually flying.
It's the best experience to be able to pilot without a license. It is a bit pricey, but I would love to participate again.
The flight route is determined by the weather on the day, and I flew along the west coast route from Pearl Harbor to Haleiwa, the westernmost point at Kaena Point, and Ko Olina.
The area near Kaena Point was clear and sunny, and it was such a beautiful place that I was more captivated by the scenery than by flying.
I was told that I could take photos freely, but I was having so much fun piloting that I didn't have time for that. However, the instructor took quite a few photos, and the ground staff also took pictures when we departed.
Additionally, as long as it doesn't cover your ears, you can always use an action camera for filming.
離陸して、安全な状態になると操縦体験スタート。
操縦時間は結構長くて60分中40分は操縦していました。
免許なしで、実際に操縦できるのは、最高のひとことです。
値段はしますが、また参加したいです。
フライトルートは当日の天候で決まり、
私はパールハーバーからハレイワ、最西端のカエナポイント、コオリナと周る西海岸ルートでした。
カエナポイント付近は快晴で、操縦よりも景色に目が奪われる素晴らしい場所でした。
写真撮影は自由に撮影OKと言われていましたが、操縦が楽しくてそんな時間はありませんが、
教官の方が結構撮影してくれて、
さらに、出発の際には地上スタッフが撮影してくれてました。
また、耳に被らなければ、アクションカメラ撮影も常時OK。

I was picked up by the owner, Kaz, and his wife. They were so friendly that it felt like we had known each other for a long time, and they shared a lot of information about the Cessna experience and Hawaii.
After arriving at the office, I was taught how to operate the Cessna, and then we set off.
The course departed from and returned to Honolulu Airport, flying over Ala Moana, out to the waters off Honolulu, passing Diamond Head, Makapu'u Point, the sandbars of Kailua and Kaneohe, Kualoa Ranch, the North Shore, Dole Plantation, Pearl Harbor, and we circled around Oahu in about an hour.
Around the area past Diamond Head, I was allowed to take the controls, and I nervously moved the yoke up and down and side to side, experiencing the strange sensation of flying by my own will. The pilot sitting next to me adjusted the yoke and engine power (similar to a driving school car), so I didn't feel scared at all. Once I got used to it, it was truly enjoyable, and it's hard to put into words, but everything I saw was amazing. My kids, in the back seat, were taking pictures and having a great time, and they even started dozing off around the North Shore due to the comfort. I had given them motion sickness medication, but it turned out to be unnecessary for my kids.
What surprised me the most was being able to see Hawaii's great nature from above. This was my third time in Hawaii, and I had only been to Waikiki, Ala Moana, downtown, and the North Shore, but seeing the eastern coast of Oahu from the air allowed me to truly feel the grandeur of Hawaii's nature, making me love Hawaii even more.
We circled over Pearl Harbor about three times while waiting for our turn to land, and I found myself pondering how Japanese soldiers must have felt 80 years ago while flying over. It was unexpectedly profound.
Despite the expensive optional tour due to the yen's depreciation after 34 years, I believe it was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It seems that Cessna flight experiences are only available in three places worldwide, so if the timing is right, I highly recommend it. I think it will create wonderful memories for my kids as well.
迎えはオーナーのカズさんと奥様にきていただきました。初対面とは思えないくらい気さくで、セスナ体験について、ハワイについていろいろ教えていただきました。
オフィスに到着後、セスナの操縦について教えていただき、いざ出発。
コースはホノルル空港を発着し、アラモアナ上空からホノルル沖へ出て、ダイアモンドヘッド、マカプウ岬、カイルア、カネオヘのサンドバー、クアロアランチ、ノースショア、Doleプランテーション、パールハーバーとオアフを1時間ほどで半周しました。
ダイアモンドヘッドを超えたあたりで、操縦を任せて頂き、恐る恐るハンドルを上下左右に動かし、自らの意思で飛んでいる不思議な感覚を得ました。隣に座っているパイロットの方がハンドル操作とエンジン出力を調整してくれる(自動車教習所の車みたいなイメージ)ため、怖いという印象はありません。
慣れてからは本当に楽しく、言葉に表すことが難しいですが、目に飛び込んでくるもの全てが最高でした。
小6と小3の子も後部座席で撮影をしながら終始楽しんでいて、あまりの心地よさでノースショアあたりからうたた寝を始めましたw
酔い止め薬を飲ませていましたが、うちの子達には不要でした。
また予想外に良かったのは、ハワイの大自然を上空から見られたことです。私はハワイに来たのは3回目で、ワイキキやアラモアナ、ダウンタウン、ノースショアあたりしか行ったことが無かったのですが、オアフの東海岸を上空から見ることで、ハワイの大自然や雄大さを肌で感じることができ、より一層ハワイが好きになりました。
また着陸の順番待ち?のためか、パールハーバー上空を3週ほど旋回したのですが、80年前の日本兵はどんな風に見ていたのだろうともの思いにふけながら、飛ぶこともでき、こちらも予想外に大変感慨深かったです。
34年ぶりの円安で高価なオプショナルツアーになりましたが、間違いなく、生涯記憶に残る体験ができたと思います。セスナの体験操縦は世界でも3箇所?しか出来ないようで、タイミングが合えば是非オススメです。
子供達とも楽しい思い出になるのではと思います。

During my daughter's high school graduation trip to Hawaii, we arranged for her to experience flying a Cessna. The weather was perfect, with clear skies, making it an ideal day for flying. For the pickup location, we communicated in advance that the main lobby of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort Hotel would be crowded, so they designated the quieter car drop-off area at the Kalia Tower, which had benches. This turned out to be a great choice, as the main lobby was extremely busy, and it was uncertain whether we would meet the pickup person there.
After about a 30-minute drive from the hotel, we arrived at the office adjacent to the airport. After a brief explanation of the basic flying techniques, we met the pilot and the Cessna.
Once we took off in the Cessna, we had a stunning view of the hotels in Waikiki from above. Near Diamond Head, I let my daughter take over the controls. From the Cessna, it was clear that Diamond Head is a caldera.
As we flew further away from the land, the beautiful blue ocean spread out beneath us, and we even spotted some whales. After a while, we flew over the filming location of Jurassic Park. From above, it really felt like a T-Rex could be lurking around.
The conversation with the pilot was in English, but he actively engaged with us with a smile, helping to ease our nerves. The 60 minutes flew by, but it was an emotional experience. My daughter was very satisfied with it.
When we returned to the office, there were plenty of fresh juices and snacks prepared for us. During the ride back to the hotel, we had a Japanese driver and assistant who engaged us in various conversations, making the 30-minute travel time feel much shorter.

It was the best experience!!! First, we received a warm welcome from the friendly owner, Kaz, who provided us with an explanation about piloting (in Japanese, of course, and very easy to understand◎). After that, the pilot who would fly with us explained today's route and highlights using a model map of Oahu. He spoke in clear English, and if we didn't understand, the staff member nearby was always ready to interpret◎
Communication among passengers in the sky was done through headphones and a microphone. It was exciting to hear the pilot's communication with the control tower through the headphones! Once we entered stable airspace, I got to hold the control stick and actually pilot the plane, and I also experienced turning left and right over the ocean. We signed up for a plan to circle Oahu together, and I felt that landing at a local airport, Kalaeloa Airport, to switch seats was a unique experience that you can't have elsewhere (the departure and return were from Honolulu Airport).
I love the "Jurassic Park" movie series, and this time I was able to see Kualoa Ranch, the filming location, from above, which truly filled my heart with joy.
The team at Lani Lea Sky Tours was incredibly kind (when we returned, there was a snack party prepared, and we could eat as much as we wanted✨, plus we enjoyed some juice together), the view from the sky was amazing, and I never imagined I would get to hold the control stick of a plane in my lifetime, so it was an exhilarating and satisfying experience✨✨
Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️

空の上での同乗者間のコミュニュケーションは、ヘッドフォンとマイクで行います。パイロットと管制塔とのやりとりも、ヘッドフォンで聞くことができて刺激的です!安定した空域に入ったら操縦桿を握って実際に操縦させてもらい、海上では左右への旋回も体験させてもらいました️また、今回はふたりでオアフ島を一周するプランに申し込んだのですが、席替えをするために、途中でカラエロア空港というローカルな空港に降り立てたのも他ではできない経験だなと感じました(行き帰りはホノルル空港)
私は映画「ジュラシック・パーク」シリーズが大好きなのですが、今回はそのロケ地となったクアロアランチも上空から見ることができて、本当に胸がいっぱいになりました
Lani Lea Sky Toursの皆さんは本当に親切だし(帰ったらお菓子パーティーの用意がされていて、好きなだけ食べてね〜というスタイルでした✨また、一緒にジュースもいただけます)、空からの眺めは最高だし、この人生で自分が飛行機の操縦桿を握ることがあるとは思ってもみなかったので、大興奮&大満足な体験でした️✨✨
本当にありがとうございました❤️❤️❤️

It was my first time riding in a Cessna, and while I expected it to be bumpier than a commercial airplane, it was even more turbulent than I imagined. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's best to take some medication beforehand. The flight was scheduled for 10 AM, but we had to wait for a while due to the clouds. Therefore, it's better not to schedule anything right after the flight so you can relax while waiting. Although it was a shared flight, we couldn't enjoy the scenery to the east and west due to the clouds and wind, so we ended up flying back and forth over one side. However, since I prioritized the experience over the scenery, it wasn't a problem for me. I was also moved to see a rainbow from above.
セスナに乗るのは初めてで、旅客機と違って揺れることは想像していたが、こんなにも揺れるのかと想像以上だった。酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいい。朝10時からのフライトだったが、雲の影響でしばらく待たされた。なので、フライトのあとの予定は極力入れない方がリラックスして待てる。交代してのフライトだったが、雲と風の影響で、東西の景色は楽しめず、片方のみを2往復する形のフライトとなったが、景色より経験を重視だったので特に問題なかった。虹を上から眺めることもできて感動した。

This is my third time staying here, having been taken care of twice during my previous visits. The weather was nice, and I had a valuable experience. Thank you very much. The Japanese staff were also very kind and remembered me. I look forward to my next visit.
前回jは滞在中2回お世話になり今回で3回目です。
天気も良く貴重な経験ができました。
ありがとうございました。
日本人スタッフの方もとてもいい方で私の事を覚えていて下さいました。
また次回もよろしくお願い致します。

Due to bad weather, the flight was postponed once and rescheduled for the next morning. Thank you very much. The Japanese staff were very kind. Although the instructor couldn't speak Japanese, they actively communicated with us.
The aircraft I boarded was a 172P, and the pre-flight inspection and taxiing took about 15 minutes, with the actual flight lasting 31 minutes and taxiing after landing taking about 10 minutes.
During the 31-minute flight, there was about 10 minutes of hands-on flying experience. Even when I wasn't holding the controls, the instructor explained various things, which was very educational.
One personal disappointment was that although it was a "60-minute plan," the actual flight time was only about 30 minutes. I was a bit disappointed as I was expecting a full 60-minute flight.
悪天候により一度延期になり、次の日の朝に調整していただきました。ありがとうございます。
日本人スタッフの皆さんはとても優しかったです。インストラクターの方は日本語はできませんが、とても積極的にコミュニケーションをとってくれます。
私が搭乗した機材は172Pで、
離陸前点検とタキシングに15分、実飛行が31分、着陸後のタキシングに10分程度でした。
31分の飛行のうち、10分程度の操縦体験ができます。
操縦桿を握っていない時にもインストラクターさんがいろんなことについて説明してくれるのでとても勉強になりました。
個人的に残念だったところとしては、「60分プラン」なのに実飛行時間は30分程度しかありません。
60分の飛行を期待していたので少しがっかりでした。

Driver was very nice and informative.
Would highly recommend this company.

The weather was favorable, and we were very satisfied to be able to view almost the entire island of Oahu from the sky. However, regarding the piloting experience, I’m not sure if it was due to our limited English skills or because the airspace was crowded and dangerous, but during the flight, I only occasionally had my hands on the controls, so I didn’t feel like I was really piloting at all. Given the cost of the experience for us as a couple, it felt like a significant investment, and I later regretted not opting for the sightseeing flight instead. The pilots and staff were truly wonderful, so I am satisfied with their service. The conditions in the sky depend on luck, so I am grateful that we were able to fly at all.
天候にも恵まれてオアフ島をほぼ一周空から眺める事が出来てその点は大満足でした。
ただ操縦体験に関しては私達夫婦の英語力が乏しかった為なのか空が混んでいて危険な状況だったのか分かりませんが、飛行中に時たまほぼ手を添える程度で終わってしまったので操縦した感じが全く無く、操縦体験としての金額は私達夫婦からするとかなり高額な経験への投資だったので、これなら遊覧飛行コースにしとけば良かったと後から後悔してしまいました。
パイロットやスタッフの方々には本当に良くしていただいたので対応に関しては満足しています。
空の事情はその時の運もありますので飛ぶ事ができた事だけでも感謝ですね。

The pilot spoke English and provided clear explanations about the operation, which made me feel at ease. Additionally, the transportation and pre-briefing were handled very politely by the Japanese staff, which was great. Everyone was very kind, and I would like to use this service again. It's something you can't easily experience in Japan, so I'm really glad I did it.
パイロットの方は英語でしたが、操縦について、わかりやすくレクチャーしてくれるので安心です。
また、送迎や事前の説明は日本の方が丁寧にしてくれたので、良かったです。
皆様とても親切で、また利用したいと思いました。
日本では中々体験出来ないことなので、本当にやって良かったと思います。
