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

I wavered back and forth with doing a helicopter ride since it is so expensive. My boyfriend and I went on the Falls and Fire tour, which was interesting. I am glad we did it, since much of the volcano viewing area was closed due to the fumes, but I wish we could have gone at night to see the lava flows better. It was a bit inconvenient for us due to the weather (we had to reschedule), luckily we could be a bit flexible. I would recommend a helicopter ride in Hawaii to anyone, since it is a unique experience and the views are phenomenal.

This was a really enjoyable day. The staff was friendly and informative. We felt like we had made new friends by the end of the day. Definitely recommend taking more than one day to see the Volcano National Park, though. There a lots of trails to hike that can not be accessed by the bikes.
A big Mahalo to the staff for putting together a lovely "adventure".

When my fiancee told me that he wanted to take a bike tour of a volcano, I was like, "NO WAY!" but I am SOOO glad that I went since it was literally the BEST tour that we went on while on the Big Island!
The guides are soooo informative and all the places we were able to go was way awesome. It was so nice to feel the sun and the breeze while touring instead of being cooped up in a bus! :)
My favorites were seeing the old lava flows, the smoking crater and the visit to the winery. I brought back a few bottles and everyone LOVES them!
I can't wait to try this again and have reccomended this tour to all of my friends! Yay! :)

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.

The bike the volcano tour was sooo much fun. My cousin & I are both in our 20's and we had a blast. The age ranges of our group were teen's - 50's. The Guide was very knowledgable & both him & the driver were fun. The sights were awesome, The lunch was tasty, & there was some good downhill spots where you were going pretty fast. Definately want to do it again & probably will do it again.

I had the amazing experience of seeing the volcano and lava field from a helicopter with the doors off! This is a once in a lifetime experience! The vantage point is unsurpassed and one really gets the feel for the enormity and power of volcanos. The volcano was very active during my flight and I could view red lava droping into the ocean, "sky lights" and brand new back sand beaches being created. During the flight you also see many of the beautiful waterfalls and varied micro-climates that make up the Big Island. My photos came out great and I was using a small, digital camera. A MUST DO!!

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.

初めてヘリコプターに乗るツアーということで、とても楽しみにしていましたが、期待は裏切られることなくとても楽しいものでした。
今回は、これが目的で父親を連れてきたハワイでしたので、なんとしても赤いものを見せようと思い、上から火口を覗けるヘリツアーを奮発しました。凄いものを見たなとの思いがしました。
2時間コースなのでワイピオ渓谷も見られ、ヘリならではの舐めるような眺め方を堪能出来ました。
この後地上からも車で見に行ったんですが、これはまたこれで高空からと違いを感じる感動がありましたよ。
ヘリのシートは広くて奇麗で、振動も思ったより感じられず、全く恐怖心も起きませんでした。ジェットコースター嫌いな人もまず大丈夫でしょう。もっとスリルがあっても良いと思った位です。
注意点にもありますが、写真を撮る人は暗い服を着て行くべきです。私の場合、前に座っていた人の明るい服が風防ガラスに写り込んでしまい困りました。
他の人のことも考えて暗い服にするべきだと思います。

今のハワイ島では地上から溶岩流がみられるところはないとのことで、奮発してヘリに乗りました。
空中から見る滝や海岸線も美しいですが、やはり真っ赤な火口や溶岩流は見事でした。
フライトを撮ったDVDを購入したのですが、時々機内の様子も写っており、窓にかぶりつきで呆然と溶岩流を眺める自分の姿が滑稽でした。

数年前に火山国立公園で地上から観た時とは全く違う風景に驚きました。 パイロットの方によると溶岩を観れるかどうかは日によって違うそうですが、幸い私達はドロドロと川のように流れ出る溶岩を上空から観る事が出来ました。
値段は少々高めですが、あそこまで活発な活火山を間近で観る事ができる場所は他にはないので、ここでのヘリコプターツアーはお勧めです。
溶岩だけでなく20年前に噴火した火口から吹き上げる真っ白な蒸気や、溶岩に覆われた広大な大地を空から観る事で自然の驚異を実感することができます。
溶岩に行くまでにジャングルや滝を上空から案内してくれるのも楽しかったです。
パイロットの方の案内は全て英語。 解る方はジョークを交えた陽気な説明がとても面白いと思いますし、飛行中に手元のマイクからパイロットの方に質問をする事も出来ます。 解らない方も観ているだけで楽しめると思います。
同乗者には杖をついたご老人の方もいらっしゃいましたが、ヘリコプターに乗るところまでカートで送迎したり、優先的に乗り降りのしやすい席に案内したりと、スタッフのサポートにも好感が持てました。
ハワイ島を訪れる友人にも是非進めたいと思います。
