ワイコロア発のヘリコプターに乗りました。
人生初のヘリコプターで、朝一番のツアーから戻ってくるヘリコプターを見ているだけで、大興奮! 緊急用の救命胴衣を着けてもらって、乗り込み、ヘッドセットとインカムを渡されて、うわっ、カッコいい!! 最初は緊張していて、離陸も少し怖かったけど、全然揺れないし、景色は良く見えるしで、楽しむことができました。キラウエア火山の活動が活発だったため、ハレマウマウ火口には近寄れませんでしたが、ハマクアコーストの入り江に入って、滝に接近したのはヘリコプターならではの体験でした。興奮していて、乗る前に乗り物酔いを飲み忘れてしまったので、下ばかり見ていて、途中少し酔ってしまいました。次回は酔い止め薬を飲んで、是非ハレマウマウ火口を見たいと思います。

大人2名と子供3名(小6、小3、年長)でコナ発、ワイピオ渓谷とキラウエア火山遊覧にWaterfall landing のオプション付きで参加しました。パイロットは日本人パイロットのToshiさん(望月さん)でした。申し込み段階で、一応「日本人パイロット希望」の旨は連絡していました。アメリカ人夫婦2名と我が家5名の計7名だったので、Toshiさんは英語と日本語を織り交ぜて丁寧に説明してくれました。子供達も英語は理解できることがわかったので、途中からは英語メインに切り替えて説明してくれました。Toshiさんは確か金土日曜日はお休みのはずです。
ツアー内容ですが、まず、ヘリコプターがとても安定しており、揺れない、うるさくないことにびっくり。念のため子供達は酔い止めを飲んでいましたが、必要なかったようです。逆に下2人は酔い止めで眠くなり、ほぼ寝ていました。。もちろん個人差はあると思いますが、船よりは全然酔いにくいと思います。キラウエア火山は8月現在活動が低下しており、溶岩流は見えませんでした。火口付近にマグマがボコボコしている様子は見えました。それよりも、渓谷付近の景色が最高でした。個人的にはこちらの景色の方がおススメです。あと、滝の近くに着陸するオプションを申し込んだのですが、これは絶対おススメです。ヘリコプターでしかアプローチできない滝を独り占めできます。
ツアーが終わると、オフィスにてツアー中のヘリ内外を撮影したビデオを$40で購入できます。USBスティックにビデオを保存して渡してくれます。こちらもツアー中にヘッドホンから流れてくる音楽と映像がマッチしており、購入して良かったです。
お値段は安くはないですが、それだけの価値はあると思います。是非、滝への着陸オプションで絶景を堪能ください。

ヘリに乗っている時間が2時間とは思わず(オリエンテーション含めて2時間くらいと思ってました)、大満足です。実際11時20分にホテルピックアップでホテルに帰ったのは3時前でした。
ハワイ島北部から東側(滝が多い!)、ヒロ上空を経由して南部のオーシャンエントリーまで、見ることができましたし、キラウエアの現在噴火している火口と現在流れている溶岩流も思う存分見ることができました。

素晴らしい体験が出来ました。ヘリコプターは初めてだったので、最初正直心配だったのですが、安定した乗り物だと知りました。子供達は振動が心地よく寝てしまったくらいです…笑日本人客の割合はまだまだ少ないらしく、当日は私達位だったようですが、日本人パイロットの方も在籍されているので、英語が苦手でもお勧めです。火山もですが、とにかくワイピオ渓谷は圧巻です。

We were lucky as the weather was cool and cloudy, but did not rain. Our guides were terrific. We had our "safety" talks and felt very comfortable with the safety harness and double clips used. Our party had ziplined before in Colorado and Costa Rica, so we had comparisons. Our guides were entertaining, knowledgeable and very patient. We did see wildlife - a hawk and of course, the mongoose. We did not want it to end.

Very few places could match this experience. The location; the slow climb up the giant sloping mountain. We went through rain, sun, even through a cloud; through the lava landscape, ranch lands and very bumpy rocky last stretch of road to reach the top! And wow it was a view from the top.
Be warned; it is very very cold; not what you expect from your Hawaiian break! You get nice warm coats from the tour group though (and later a little hot cocoa and brownie to keep you going!)
As the sun sets; you can see the mountains shadow on the other side; a glimpse of Maui and the glint of the sun off the telescopes preparing for their nights work. You can see the odd bit of movement as they open up. As soon as the suns down; its all go though. We have to leave the area quickly as the lights from the cars interfere with the telescopes (so no, there is no looking around inside them; if that is what you're hoping for in this trip!).
We move down slope a little to a good spot to see the huge expanse of clear, cloudless sky and the abundance of stars.
It is slightly interrupted with the brightness of the moon (so depending how long your stay is in Hawaii, plan for a darker night, unless you love the moon!); but not enough to stop us seeing nebula, planets and stars - its a really interesting spot to see both the northern and southern skies.
We did also spot a bit of the glow from the erupting volcano

Our guide Jeff picked us up from the Pu'u Huluhulu Cinder Cone parking lot, at the base of the road up to the summit. We had a very nice pre-packaged dinner at the base camp, then rode up to the visitor center and onward to the observatories. A bumpy and steep ride, I was very happy to have an experienced driver at the wheel!
At the top the weather was cool and clear and good for viewing a sunset, then we went down to a slightly lower lot to view stars and planets through a good quality Celestron scope.... the clear air and high altitude really added detail! First time I have been able to make out the rings of Saturn, and four of Jupiter's moons were posing really well for us! Some really excellent deep space views too! Check out a cool image of the moon from the Celestron scope....
Highly recommended, especially if you live somewhere with so much haze and light pollution you don't get to see that stars that well!

The tour guide Herald was very nice, friendly and knowledgeble on native hawaiian's culture, ecology and astronomy. We got to see a "natural planetarium" in the mountain including Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus. Coming from a big city we don't see stars in the sky, so the view was just breath taking and we were soooo glad we participated in the tour. I guess you can go to the summit and see stars on your own but I'd strongly recommend this tour. Because I think it will give you a whole new experience and view on the island and their culture.
Dinner was tasty too. I was expecting a lot less.

We only had one day on the big island and wanted to see as much as possible. This tour takes you all the way around with multiple, although brief stops and several locations. Could omit the coffee tasting and spend more time on the black beach or at the falls.
Our guide, Keith, was full of history, folk lore and traditional information which was a big bonus.
If you want history and a good whirlwind tour of the island, this tour is for you.
Of note, lunch was provided and this service has its own chef who prepares the meals. Very healthy sampling of the typical fare at area restaurants, however, when it’s served in lieu of a cold sandwich and a picturesque park, it suddenly becomes one of the best meals of the vacation.

とにかくガイドのヘラルドがフレンドリーで、車の長い道のりもグループを盛り上げてくれました。ハワイのローカル情報もたくさん教えてくれました。英語が分かる方なら日本語ツアーより参加しやすいと思います。
当日はコナの天気は良かったもののマウナケアに近づくほど雨で、山頂の天気を心配しましたが、山頂に着くとそこは雲の上で心配無用でした。
マウナケアの山頂は本当に寒かったです。ライトダウンを着て4枚も着込んだ上に貸してくれる大きなダウンを着ても寒かったです。
あれだけ注意事項に上着必須、長ズボンと書いてあっても用意していない人もいて、かなり寒かったらしくバスの中でほとんどを過ごすこととなり、見ていて残念でした。(そのため、防寒具必須です)
ほかの団体ツアーと一緒になる部分もあり、説明が聞き取れなかったり、星を見るには厳禁の車のライトやホワイトライトが行き交うことも多かったですが、流れ星を何度も見ることができ、感動的でした!お勧めです。

Lee, our tour guide was super friendly. He also teaches at a local school hence has a great skill for storytelling. He not only showed us some pretty amazing stuff like live volcano, volcano tubes and the waterfalls, he also told us a lot about Hawaii, Hilo, Hawaiian culture, heritage and people.
If you are someone who wants to know more about all these places and the legends and stories associated with them, go for this tour. Lee has so much knowledge to share and we felt like school kids on excursion. He encourages questions and appreciates them too!
He showed us the Hokule'a which was in town for 2 weeks. And took us to the amazing Rama paintings exhibition. He gave us a brief tour of the town and showed us several historic sites and took us to the Volcano on time.
He customizes the tours based on your interests.
We had a great time and wish Lee and his family the best!
Aloha folks....
Mahalo nui for the opportunity to be with you and your dynamic questions, curiosity and love for the island of Hawai'i.
Our intimate tour is the way we have specialized through the years. It has enabled us to have tours that are a constant
cultural and educational stimulus.
Please pay attention to Madame Pele through the national volcanoes' park website.
She is dancing and rumbling and shaking the island right now.
