Jay was an excellent host and guide. He shared so many interesting things about the aircraft, Hawaii, and the area we were flying over. Jay also has a keen eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, I got to see turtles, and monk seals! I’m really glad I signed up for this experience.

ジャイロプレーン遊覧飛行 人気の小型飛行機に乗って、パイロットと1対1のプライベートフライト!<フライト30分/英語パイロット>by Skyland Air
Refreshing!
気分爽快!
Activity Date: 2024/08/28 | Posted on: 2024/09/02

I was anxious until I got on, but once I flew, it was refreshing!
Even though the aircraft is small, it flies steadily.
The speed is slow enough to enjoy the scenery, and 30 minutes goes by in no time.
However, it's scary when I'm the one piloting; the aircraft responds to even the slightest movement of the control stick.

乗るまでは不安でしたが、いざ飛んでみれば気分爽快!
機体は小さくても安定した飛行です。
速度もゆっくりで景色を楽しむことができ、30分はあっという間です。
でも自分が操縦する時だけはコワいですね、操縦桿の少しの動きに機体が反応します。

너무 너무 감동이었던 글라이더 투어
Activity Date: 2024/07/31 | Posted on: 2024/08/05

글라이더 투어 처음으로 해 보았습니다.
긴장이 되긴 했지만, 하기를 잘 했다고 생각이 듭니다.
하늘에서 감동을 잊을 수가 없습니다.
하와이에 왔다면, 꼭~ 유인 글라이더 투어를 하시기 바랍니다.
완전 강추 입니다.~^^
무한 도전에서 나오셨던 그 아저씨...
지금은 세월이 15년이나 흘러 할아버지가 되셨지만,
같이 사진 찍어 주시면서 다양한 포즈 취하게 해 주시고 ㅎㅎ
즐겁게 사진을 찍었습니다.
다음에 또 하와이를 간다면 글라이더 투어 한번 더 하고 싶네요~^^

It was an amazing flight with very professional pilots. We were able to stay up for 40 minutes and catch amazing views of the ocean runway and mountains. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone. Thank you for treating us like family and we will forever be friends. Thank you Mr. Bill!!!

We appreciate this enthusiastic review, but we hope the SECOND word in the above text was "WAS" instead of "wasn't". That one word would negate all of the rest of the text.

Great adventure
Activity Date: 2024/04/17 | Posted on: 2024/04/21

Weather was ideal for gliding, some clouds but above where we were flying.

Aerobatic exercises are exciting and one is able to experience some G-forces plus weightlessness during the loops. A most enjoyable flight from take off to landing. Would do it again if the opportunity presented itself.

Amazing experience with kind pilot
Activity Date: 2023/09/30 | Posted on: 2023/10/02

I was able to see a beautiful view on the flight! The glider took off pretty quickly, but the flight overall was calmer than I expected. The pilot was so kind and professional. I really wish I can return to try the aerobatic ride. Thank you so much for a great experience!

Best ever!!!
Activity Date: 2022/09/28 | Posted on: 2022/09/30

Wow!!! Let's start by saying Wow!!! This is a bucket list must! An this is the best place to ride in a glider. You won't regret it. All the guys that work here are so friendly. Very knowledgeable and very helpful. And Mr. Bill is such a character. He was very funny great sense of humor great personality. Place is well-maintained as even restrooms. And if you have to wait you can walk across the street to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. You've got to try this. The views from the plane ride are breathtaking. You can see mountains, beach and on a clear sunny day the island of Kauai. Once you get up in the air it's quiet and beautiful. It's a touch of Heaven.

40 min glider ride at Dillingham airfield = awesome!
Activity Date: 2022/03/05 | Posted on: 2022/03/07

They did a great job! They were organized, and the pilot was wonderful. Of course the awesome scenery and experience of gliding along the mountain ridge and seeing whales in the distance was a once in a lifetime experience.

I highly recommend to anyone!

We were slightly nervous but very excited. When we arrived, the ease and experience of the pilots and staff took away any concerns. The ride was smooth, serene and very fun. The views from up above were absolutely amazing! We even saw whales from the sky! I would highly recommend this activity to anyone. It may seem scary, but the ride was very secure and the pilot very experienced.

pretty awesome experience
Activity Date: 2016/07/22 | Posted on: 2016/08/01

In spite of very short time 15 min., my son and I were fully satisfied with this glider riding. While being towed by an airplane, we didn't have any concern of falling down. But later we could fly in the air without an engine...wow quite awesome. No worry no concern no fear at all during the flight. a very soft flying..

Mr. Bill's Glider Ride
Posted on: 2014/09/23

I would highly recommend taking a glider ride up on the North Shore of Oahu to everyone. It was a bucket list item for me and did not disappoint. Very professional staff and my pilot Sean was exceptional. He let me take the controls for about five minutes of the ride. The views are spectacular. Very affordable and the best 20-30 minutes you will spend in the Islands. Be sure and take a Go Pro camera or do I as did and rent one from the glider folks. I have a great DVD of my entire flight.

Mr bills gliders was a fantastic high light of our trip.
The staff was very nice , and knowledgable .
My pilots name was Soloman, and I went up for a 30 min free style and a 15 acrobatic ride! Let me tell you this, the view s are incredible, super quiet . I saw isolated several storm clouds pouring rain over the water very cool to see from above.
The acrobatic part was 4-1/2 Gssssssssss and oh boy , what a ride so cool.
I highly recommend bills. It was worth every penny.
