キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧 水~土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能<フライト100分/英語パイロット/ワイコロアヘリポート>

ハワイ島でかい!

Reviewed by: Fores.A

前提条件として、私はTOEIC300点台で、自分手配の海外旅行初めてです(海外は3回目)。
当初、別会社の「日本語パイロットと行く~ヘリツアー」を予約していたのですが、日本人パイロットの都合が付かないと連絡があったのでこちらに切り替えました。こちらは幸運にも日本語パイロットに割り当ててもらえました。

結論から言うと、とても満足しました。勇気を出してヘリコプターにして良かったです。
キラウエア火山目的で乗りましたが、北部ワイピオ渓谷や、その周辺のテーブルマウンテン?状の地形に感動しました。キラウエアは2013年ごろから小康状態なので、噴火しているような場面は見れません。そう思って小康状態でも溶岩を見ることの出来るヘリを選択しましたが、嬉しい誤算でした。

こちらは、プランによってホテル送迎が付いているのも嬉しいです。
タクシー手配も、英語できない人間には難易度が高いので・・・。

注意として、日本語が通じるのは(日本語可能な)パイロットさんだけ。送迎運転手や、フロア受付の方には一切通じません。それでも、バウチャーもって身振り手振りで何とかなります(なりました)。英語ができれば私よりももっと楽しめるでしょう。
ヘリに乗る前に手荷物を預けるので、カメラやガム(酔い止め)は出しておいた方が良いです。(英語で、カメラは出したか?と聞いていたようで、それは分かったのですが、意図がわからず、ガム出しそびれました。)

帰着した後に、パイロットとの記念撮影を撮ってもらえました。
良い記念になります。

Helicopter Circle Island Flights with Landing Option from Kona [Not Operating]

Volcano Helicopter Tours from Kona

Reviewed by: Robert H

We took the 2 hour Hawaii Experience tour and we were very pleased. The cost was not much more than the 50 minute volcano tour and we saw active lava tube, waterfalls, and a view of the island that we would have not experienced any other way. Our pilot Joel was very accommodating and made sure that the flight experience was enjoyed by everyone on board. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see all of the Big Island!!!!!!!

  • Active lava tube vent

  • Cliffs along the shore

  • Waterfalls in the valley

ダウンヒル(自転車)ツアー  世界遺産キラウエア火山の山頂から駆け降りる爽快サイクリング!<半日・1日/食事付/ヒロ地区送迎付>

一味違ったキラウェア体験

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

去年の7月ですが夫婦で参加してきました。
私達以外にはアメリカ人の家族連れが2組とアメリカ人夫婦が1組でした。

早朝にワイコロアを出発し、休憩しながら3時間半ぐらいで到着したと思いますが、
道が分かりやすく迷うこともありませんでした。


当たり前かもしれませんが、参加前の同意書やガイド中は全て英語。
ガイドの方が本土出身の若い男性(地質学の専門家とのこと)で早口だし、
説明されていることの半分ぐらいしか理解できないのが残念でした。
次回はもっと英語力を磨いて参加したいです。

しかし自転車でオフロードや車道を疾走するのは気持ちが良かったし、
横目で巨大なクレーターを見ながら自転車を漕ぐのは何とも言えない爽快感と解放感がありました。

途中何カ所か休憩がてらイキクレーターやラバチューブなどのポイントに立ち寄って説明、
最後はチェーン・オブ・クレーターズ・ロードの最終ポイントでランチ。

バンが並走してくれるので途中で辛くなった人も大丈夫ですが、
小さい子供も完走していました。

一味違ったキラウェアを体験できるオススメツアーです。

Paradise Helicopters - Volcano, Lava & Waterfalls Flight from Hilo

Lava Chasing from the Air

Reviewed by: The Shepherds

Professional pilots and a well-coordinated organization combined to show us where the lava action was happening. We were safely strapped in and plugged into communications so we could get the most out of what we were seeing and trying to photograph. With an experienced pilot, everyone in the chopper got a good chance for the best views. The photography itself can be tricky; the higher quality pictures you try to take, the more you should have a good camera setup and practice from a vibrating platform. Overall: a rousing success.

My husband and I loved it. Never flew in a helicopter before. Exciting! Safety conscious pilot-Roger was great! Music in headphones enhanced the experience. Views of volcano were wonderful. Roger gave all occupants plenty of photo taking opportunities. This was one of our favorite activities on our trip to Hawaii.

Excellent

Reviewed by: Dirk

This was an excellent activity! Our pilot, Toshi, did a great job of getting us close to the lava flows and the waterfalls. He was extremely knowledgeable of all the sights and was able to effectively communicate to both those who only spoke English and those who only spoke Japanese. I would highly recommend this two hour flight over the other flights available. What you are able to see in that amount of time is well worth the extra money!

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is a first time visitor to the Big Island. The views were spectacular! Take many pictures in flight as the DVD of the flight does not capture everything you see and ask alot of questions about what you are seeing. For me, it was worth the money! The staff were great!

Helicopter Volcano Tour

Reviewed by: Tina Thatcher

This was an excellent trip!

The pre-flight activities were well organized, and the staff was very courteous.

The actual flight was incredible, and the pilot was very knowledgeable. It was wonderful to be able to ask questions while in flight.

The weather was the only drawback. We couldn't see the crater due to rain/fog/wind. It was still an incredible trip, but it would have been even better to see the crater.

I would recommend this trip to anyone, although considering the cost, children probably wouldn't enjoy as much as adults. Seating is arranged by weight to balance the ride, so young children could be separated from Mom - might be an issue for some.

Overall, a wonderful tour conducted by a wonderful company.

The Volcano Helicopter Tour with Blue Hawaiian was outstanding! One of the highlights of our trip. We were not only fortunate enough to see lava in the crater and flowing into the ocean but saw many other great sites and learned a great deal about the region. Our guide (Thanks, Kemo!) was fun, knowledgable and a great pilot. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Big Island

Reviewed by: William

To start off with when we were making reservations transportation aparently wasn't available. Don't let them tell you that. They have vans and make pick-ups from the hotel we stayed in. We took the big island spectacular 2 hour. It was nice. The volcano part wasn't what i thought. I expected to see flowing lava. All you see is the top crust of past lava flows. Even the volcano vent wasn't what I thought it would be. The VOG was so thick thast about all you could see. A little let down. Although the 2nd part was the tropical rain forest. We had a nice ride along the ocean front. Went up the valleys and saw more waterfalls than I could keep track of. Pilot even sighted some whales and circled for us. Wind turbulance in some of the valleys made me tighten my seat belt a bit. Later I learned the pilot is a retired coast guard pilot. Wish I knew that going in, I would have been a bit more relaxed.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tour

Reviewed by: K Driscoll

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.

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.

Our pilot was friendly, very personable with each one of us. I loved how he used our names as if we already had knowledge of what he was about to share with us. That was a fun way to learn. Amazing how large this volcano is!! Later in the day we drove from Hilo down to the area so we could touch the lava in person. Felt like we were on another planet. Lava and desolation for as far as we could see. Thanks for this experience. Blue Hawaiian Helicopters are the BEST!!! Awesome pilot and staff!!

最高の時間

Reviewed by: Ayu Suzuki

私は、私が生まれる前に、パパやママが溶岩を見に行ったことを聞かせれていて、この遊覧飛行をとても楽しみにしていました。ワイコロアはとても天気が良かったのですが、マウナケアの方角は雲が多っかたので、ちょっと不安でした。不安は当り、天候が悪いので、溶岩が見れるヒロ方面はツアーが中止になってくれました。ものすごく悲しかったけれど、安全を第一に考えてくれるスタッフの皆さんに、残念な気持ちと裏腹に安堵の感がありました。日本人のパイロットの人が、ワイピオ渓谷も素晴らしいですよ、でもキャンセルしても構いません。ツアー料金は全て返しますとまで言ってくれて、パパとママにお願いをしてワイピオ渓谷のみのツア-に行くことにしました。日本でヘリコプタ-には乗ったことがあったけど、離陸のとき、ハワイ島の大地を飛んでいくとき、その広大な迫力に感動しました。少し雲があったり、途中で雨が降ってきたけれど、ワイピオ渓谷、まるで違う世界にきたような、夢をみているような感じがしました。渓谷の合間から流れ出る、たくさんの滝、飲んでみたくなりました。渓谷の中を飛んでいるときちょっと怖かったけれど、12歳の私でも多くの感動を味わうことができました。

Bike to Pele - Hawaii Volcano Biking Tour at Puna Lava Fields [Open Soon]

Full Day Adventure..

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I was expecting to see items of interest that we couldn't see from driving the park in a car. This was not the case, we only passed through one area that was not accessible by car (but a short hike would have taken us there).
Bikes need to be tuned. I mountain bike fairly often and our bikes' shifting was poor. All bikes had Grip Shift. My partner's bike was very bad and she fought the problem the entire trip.
Overall I think that the bike ride was not worth the money.

Reply from activity provider

Bike Volcano guided bicycle tours take place on paved roads and trails. There are 2 off road paved trails that we cover on our bicycle tours. Yes, you could have chosen to hike or drive your car around the National Park. However, you would not have had the full sensory experience of exploring the points of interest by bike, while exercising, and exploring a large area with an Interpretive Guide and a support van to return you to your point of origin. Safety is our highest priority. All of our bicycles undergo a daily and regular maintenance tune-up schedule with a Profession Bicycle Mechanic. We always carry spare bikes in case a bike problem develops on tour or in transit. You or your partner could have alerted our Bike Guide or Driver that you were having a bike issue so that we could have issued you another bicycle. Lastly, Bike Volcano offers the lowest priced guided bicycle tours of the National Park. We appreciate your comments and strive to approve our service.
