The trip was just amazing! Our guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Would go back and do this again! Can't believe the view! This is one of the few trips we will never forget!

...about to this cruise. My children and I utterly loved this tour and I just want to thank the unforgettable crew members who made this trip a highlight of our vacation. From the moment we stepped onto the boat until we stepped off, it was an absolute pleasure.
Hearing my children's sounds of joy when they saw their first whale breach from the water is something that I will remember always.

TOTALLY AMAZING! When my friends and I saw this tour we were like, "Hmmm, whale watching? Sure why not!" and I am so glad that we decided to go. The boat was great, the view was priceless and seeing humpback whales jumping and slapping the water is something that I will never forget...ever. Like what a great memory to bring back home with me. Take this tour! You won't regret it!

Wish we brought the kids, they would have had a blast!! In any case it was our first time to the Big Island and this was a super good time. I'm guessing it's the same crew, but the afternoon sail crew was just lovely. Highly Recommended!!!

The tour was excellent and the guide had a lot of passion for what he does, so it was kind of contagious. He told us a lot of interesting stories making the trip very entertain. Dinner was very good and they provide us with coats and globes which we really needed. Then we had a second stop to explain to us about the telescopes and what is being measured. Finally we arrived at the top. I must admit I got very sick, but the guide had warned us that it could happen and recommended to sit on the floor. That is exactly what I did. I didn’t like the feeling at all, but I saw the most beautiful sunset that I have ever seen so it was worth the bad 5 minutes feeling LOL but I wouldn’t recommend it to people with heart problems. After the breath taking view we went down and watch the starts through a telescope. The guide explained a lot of things I didn’t know. I am not very knowledgeable about astronomy but I really learned a lot and enjoy the time. I will definitely recommend it as a must see

英語のツアーだったため、私の英語力ではガイドさんの話は50%くらいしか理解できませんでしたが、それでも十分、みる価値のある星空でした。あんなにはっきり太く天の川を観たのは生まれて初めてです。すごく寒いと予想していて、貸してくれる防寒具はフード付のジャケットと手袋だけと聞いていましたので、下半身の防寒具を自分で持って行っていたので助かりましたが、ジーンズなどで参加していたら、日本人では寒すぎて辛いんじゃないかと思います。(欧米の方はみなさん薄着ですよね。。。)マフラーも持っていけば良かったです。
ツアー自体は車に乗っていれば山頂まで連れていってくれるしレーザーポインターを使って星の説明もしてくれるので、英語がちょっとわかって、山頂で星をみることが目的ならば十分に楽しめると思います。
ちなみに、日本では9月の大型連休中だったにも関わらず、約30名車2台のツアー参加者のうち、日本人は私達二人だけでした。一応、最初の免責説明の署名用紙などは日本語の物がありましたが、他は全て英語での対応です。

83歳を含むファミリー6名で溶岩と渓谷のツアーに参加、
運よく操縦士の方が日本人だったので説明もよくわかりとてもよかった。
正直溶岩は海岸に流れているところが見えよかったが、もう少し激しいものを想像していたので?とおもうこともあった。想像以上だったのは渓谷での滝の多さと深く切り込んだ渓谷の間に入っていくのはヘリコプターならではの圧巻で最高!だった。
ハワイ島は地上からの無理なところも多いので、足が弱い方にもおすすめ、多少値段はかかるが空からの眺めは、あっという間の2時間弱、機内での様子を含んだ景色のビデオテープを買い楽しい思い出になりました。

「ディナークルーズ」というのでもっと大きな船かと思っていたら、ヨットだった。
結構揺れた。
天気はよかったので、サンセット、火山の景色は最高によかった。
バイキングの料理は、ウェブに記載されたものとは全く違った。まずくはなかったが、船上でレタスの入ったサラダを食べようとすると、すべて風に舞った。
でもコストを考えるとこんなもんだろうし、不満ではない。
スタッフは、明るく、親切だった。
帰りの海岸から送迎バスまでを迷ってしまった。
迷っていたらマリオットホテルに着いたので、そのままキングズマーケットでショッピングした。迷ったことを旅デスクに電話したら、「送迎バスは、そんなに心配はしませんよ」とのこと。これがハワイらしいおおらかさのようだ。
ハワイ島でサンセットは5回見たが、すべて違う感じであった。
別オプションのレストランテラス席で食事しながらサンセットを見るほうがよかった。

I took my 74 year old mother. We had a great time. The guides were extremely knowledgable and helpful. The food wasn't the best but that wasn't the focus of the trip. It was nice to have real metal silver ware to use while eating our of our box. I highly recommend this trip. My husband and his son will take it in two weeks.

Our Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour was fantastic. Our pilot, Chris, was very informative and knowledgeable about the volcano and its surrounding area. His flying was superb as it was a very smooth ride. I would definitely recommend the Circle of Fire tour!!

高額なツアーであることまた、ヘリコプター初体験であることから相当迷いはありましたが、二度と来れないかもしれないと思い申し込みました。
しかし、乗ってしまえばヘリコプターでし見る事ができないキラウエア火山の火口内部の様子や溶岩が海に流れ込む様子など景色は最高で、心配していた揺れなど観光バスで道路を走るより感じられずとても快適でした。
パイロットの説明は全て英語で正直サッパリ判りませんでしたがあの景色に言葉はいらないです。
私はロイヤル・コナ・リゾートからタクシーで行きましたがチップ込で片道$100もかかったのでこのツアーが主目的であれば宿泊はサウス・コハラ地域がいいでしょう。

以前、カウアイ島でヘリコプターツアーに乗った際、
一緒に乗ったアメリカ人のお客さんは、パイロットさんと会話しながら、超楽しそうでした。私達は、日本語のテープを聞きながら・・・のヘリコプターツアー・・・同じ金額なのに!!と思い今度は、日本人パイロット希望でブルーハワイアンを選びました。
創造以上に素晴らしい、体験でした。
数日滞在後でしたので、車での移動をした所を上空より見て回る感じで、BIGアイランドは、超BIGでした。
広大な黒い大地、溶岩・緑あふれる渓谷・滝・牧草地最後は海岸線・・・2時間も飽きるかなあと思いましたが、展開が速いので、すごくたのしかったです。
日本人パイロットのTOSHIさん!!最高です

We just came back from our honeymoon in the Big Island. We took this whale watch trip, and I must say this was by far the most enjoyable sailing trip we did in Hawaii. Being Discovery Channel lovers, we were so excited to see the real whales in front of us! We can't wait to go back there someday. Five stars!

We had an enjoyable evening cruising the Kahola coastline. The weather and water were beautiful if only there hadn't been a few clouds on the horizon at sunset it would have been the Hawaiian Dream come true. We highly recommend this trip to all of our friends.

Overall, this trip was fantastic, and you'll never see another sunset and night sky like it anywhere else. However, be wary of poor food (bring a sandwich) that is offered, and make sure your bus has air conditioning that works since it can be a long ride up the side of the mountain in 90+ heat.
Pros:
Great trip
Romantic
Educational
Cons:
No air conditioning in the van
Poor food

家族4人(子供2歳・0歳の)で参加しました。座席はパイロットがヘリの安定を保つため全搭乗者の体重を考えて指定されるので窓側に座れるとは限りません。
パイロットの話す言語は英語なので、各エリアの名前程度は分かりますが英語が苦手な方は景色を楽しんで下さい。乗り心地は良く、揺れもほとんどありません。
ラバフローは日によって流れ出る量や方角が異なるので、迫力あるラバフローが見られるかどうかは運次第です。
ヘリの最大の魅力は陸上からは絶対に近づけないエリアに低高度でかなり至近距離に迫れるので、セスナ機とでは迫力が違います。
参加するなら天候の比較的安定している午前中のなるべく早い時間帯がおすすめです。ヒロは多雨地帯なので午後は雨に降られる確立が高いとのことです。快晴だと、間近にMt.マウナロアを、遠くにMt.マウナケアを見ることができます。
飛行中の景色や自分達の様子はヘリ搭載のビデをカメラでフルタイム撮影されていて、終了後DVDとして旅の思い出に是非買って下さい($25程度)。
日本では出来ない体験なので、ハワイ島に滞在したら是非体験して下さい。(ただし0歳児を一緒に搭乗させることはさすがにおすすめはできません・・・)

Tour of a lifetrime. Chose Blue Hawaiian because of their safety and tour awards. Definitely well-earned! Pilot Bob was knowledgable about Hawaii and well-spoken (and charismatic). He included all the passengers in his presentation and used our names. Always nice! Definitely a fun ride - and a view you can only appreciate from a helicopter.

Very good time. Initailly seemed a little unorganized, but once we were on the boat, things got a lot better. The staff was very friendly, funny, and knowledgable. The food was amazing and we even had seconds! A couple on the same cruise was re-newing their wedding vows after 30 years and the staff really made it special for them. A great time and a beautiful sunset.

This is the most amazing / moving / breathtaking / spectacular tour I've ever taken in my life... Growing up in a city, I've never seen a night sky like that before... i thought i was seeing a cloud, but turned out to be the Milky Way... there were literally millions of stars in the sky... made me feel that we are a part of this vast galaxy...
the drive to Mauna Kea was fun... Pat, the guide, even stopped our vehicle to see the owl by the road... I even got to see the state bird, Nene, at the Onizuka Space Center...
Mauna Kea is such a spritual place, and I will never forget the sunset.. Oh, you have to take a tour to go up to the summit since you need a permit... it's not like Haleakala on Maui where everyone can go..
Do this tour if you are going to be in the Big Island... I recommend everyone to do this tour... Just amazing!!!

We booked this trip because Dan is very interested in astronomy. As we drove up to the summit we began to understand the magnificence of the view. The sunset was unbelievable and the experience unforgettable. When we came down the mountain to do our stargazing I saw the moon through the telescope as I have never seen it before. The detail of the craters was amazing. It was a beautiful evening and night. Thank you.

This was an awesome tour. We took the entire family (3 generations) and all had a blast. I'm sure timing is everything, but we had some really incredible views of flowing lava through "skylights", surface movement, and great views entering the ocean. Our pilot (Marty) was great! Very knowledgable and wanted to make sure everyone on the flight was able to get the best views of lava, waterfalls, and other points of interest. We bought the DVD of our flight afterwards and love it! Thanks Blue Hawaiian for a memorable event that we will cherish forever.
