What a fabulous tour led by Greg. Full credit to Greg, who was so engaging and informative, he really enriched the experience.
The tour was out of this world literally. The telescopes, scenery, sunset!! I loved that we didn't race off , after the sunset, but stayed as the colours deepened. We were the last tour to leave the sunset location.
The food was good! Lasagne and a very yummy brownie and later hot chocolate and biscotti whilst we star gazed through massive telescopes.
I was totally impressed with this tour. In fact raved about it so much when I got back to the hotel that my friend went the next day and also loved it!!

8:45からの予約でした。風が強い日で水温も低くて、少し寒かったですが、イルカに触れることができるアクティビティはここでしかないので、4歳の息子は楽しみにしておりました!
インストラクターのお姉さんも優しく、親切!
イルカの耳や目や鼻はココにあるよと教えてくれたり、おなかを優しく触ったり、お魚を食べさせてあげたり、子どもの合図で、イルカが鳴いたり、ジャンプしたり、イルカショーを独り占めした気分でしたよ〜^ ^
たったの15分でしたが、充実しました❗️

Very high quality experience. The pilot was knowledgeable of the area and very experienced in flying making it a comfortable and interesting tour. The day before the weather was very rainy so we were afraid we would not see much but we lucked out and actually had very good viewing. But if we had flown with them when we were there in 2013 it would have been totally clear, even the tops of Moana Kea and Moana Loa. So, don't put it off!

Enjoyable tour hosted by knowledgable guides. Great chance to see above the clouds and beyond. Only downside was the meal -a vegetable lasagne with a dried out top from being heated to long.

並んだ順に着席するので、早めに集合場所へ行く事をお勧めします。
早く行っても、ジュースの用意があるので、飲んでおしゃべりしていると時間はすぐに過ぎます。
5組くらい前にいましたが、私達は一番前の席になりました。
着席前に記念撮影がありますが、販売は後ほどトイレ前なので、購入はしなくても大丈夫です。
私達は思い出に買いましたが(笑)
お食事も飲み物も充実しております。
ショウも楽しく、スタッフもフレンドリーです。
寒さ対策のひざ掛けも配布してくれます。
おしゃれをして参加すると楽しさ倍増です。
満席でしたので、早めの予約が良いと思います。
グレイどの高いクラスでなくても十分だと思います。

初めてヘリに乗ったっていうのと、うっすらながら赤い溶岩も見れたっていうのは、貴重で面白い経験だった。
ちょっと値段は高めだけど、思い切って参加してよかったです。
ヘリに酔うって話も聞いていたけど、乗り物酔いしやすい嫁さんでも大丈夫だったので、そのあたりは心配しなくてもいいのかもしれない。
乗った時の映像が、帰還して20分くらいで購入できるので、記念に買ったみた(まだ見てないけど)。
ただ、後ろの真ん中席だと外が見づらいので、座席で値段を分けてほしいと思いました。

This was truly one of the more amazing ventures we have done. The guides were knowledgeable and professional. We learned about the various international observatories, saw a phenomenal sunset above the clouds at nearly 14,000 feet and then were treated to astrological viewing that was incredible. Just a spectacular evening.
The only negative comment I have is the seating in the vans, particular if you are 6' or taller is very tight. That said, it is still a very worthwhile adventure.

予約した日にお天気の関係で飛べず、再チャレンジで2日後に予約しましたが、またまたお天気がNGでダメでした。ワイコロアは晴天なんですけどね、ヒロ側がダメで。両日ともフライト中の緊急避難や安全確認のビデオも全部見終わっていたんですが、最後に事務所からスタッフの方が出てこられて「ごめんなさいね」と。
自然相手ですからこういうこともありますね。
最後に日本人パイロットのTOSHIさんが出てこられて「今回は本当に残念です。次の機会に是非来てくださいね!お待ちしています」と名刺を渡してくださって爽やかにご挨拶してくださいました。こういう心遣い、とても嬉しかったです。来年こそTOSHIさんのヘリに乗せていただきたいです。

Both me and my friend are big fans of stargazing. Being from Europe, we're used to completely different night sky and it war really refreshing to see the other-side-of-the-world's sky as well. Also, because Mauna Kea Summit has one of the clearest sky in the world, it took the stargazing to whole another level. It was really amazing experience and worth every penny. Also the guides knew like.. everything about the stars, so it was pretty educational too. Oh and by the way - the sunset seen from above the clouds at the summit? Magnificent!

My wife and I took this cruise. Were picked up and given warm welcome, then staff were lovely and very easy to talk to whilst constantly serving you. Open bar was generously doled out - you were actually encouraged to use it! Food also enough that we didn't have to eat again that evening. Really lovely evening cruising along the bay, and a lovely romantic setting to boot.

値段が高いので迷いましたが、火山活動が活発ではなければ、時間をかけて歩いて見に行っても溶岩を噴火する火山を見られないと聞いてヘリコプターを選択しました。
実際火口を上から見て、ボコボコ湧き出る溶岩が見られました。
海では、鯨の親子も見えました。
ワイピオ渓谷の渓谷の谷間をヘリで縫うように飛んでくれて、とても神秘的で素晴らしかったです。ヘリコプターならではの体験ができ、とてもよかったです。
