West Maui & Molokai Helicopter Tour with Doors-off & Oceanfront Landing Upgrades

The Real-Deal

Reviewed by: Matthew McDaniel, 2010/05/29

Your entire staff was the absolute epitome of friendly and professional in every way (and I say that as the owner of an aviation company and a very discriminating customer). The entire experience was unforgettable from beginning to end. Rest assured, we will be recommending Air Maui to everyone we know who's thinking of a Hawaii vacation!

Hana by Air & Land - Helicopter Flight & Semi-Private Sightseeing Tour Combo

Seeing Hana From Land and Sky

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/05/18

The road to hana was something that I wanted to experience while on Maui. I'm glad that someone else was driving, because that road in narrow and curves constantly. The driver did a great job maneuvering around the road, all while giving us informative information about what we were seeing. All along the road you can see beautiful lush vegetation. The helicopter tour was a great way to get a brids-eye-view of hana. Hana is even more beautiful when you see it from a helicopter. You can really get a feel for how dramatic the scenery in Hana is.

West Maui & Molokai Helicopter Tour with Doors-off & Oceanfront Landing Upgrades

What an Incredible Birds-Eye-View!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/05/15

We did the Hana/Haleakala flight. We felt like we were on our way to Jurassic Park while we were flying over Hana. The whole flight was just non-stop jaw dropping beauty all around you. When we made the transition to Haleakala it was like we were flying over Mars. We had taken tours of Hana and Haleakala, but is truly a different experience when you see it from the sky.

Maui Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tours

So so experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/04/25

The tour was not really worth the price. It was nice but would have spent money elsewhere. It would have been better with less people in the helicopter so that you are able to take better pictures. The guide was not too friendly. Would rather spend that money doing something else.

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

First-Timers

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/04/22

This is a great activity except if you're prone to motion-sickness then it is not for you. Two hours was way too long for us. I was doing well in the first hour when we were shown the volcanoes and mountains but in the second hour I could not keep my eyes open due to my motion sickness. And that sucked because in the second hour is when he shows you the beautiful valleys and waterfalls! Thank God my husband was able to record it for me but it still wasn't the same. I would recommend a 45-minute-1 hour tour but not the 2 hour tour.

Big Island Spectacular Circle Island Helicopter Flight with Landing Option

Big Island

Reviewed by: William, 2010/04/04

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.

North Shore Skydiving Adventure Tour with Oceanview - GoJump Hawaii

14000ft!!!

Reviewed by: Birdman, 2010/03/19

Words cannot describe the adrenalin rush you experience as you free fall from 14000ft in the sky.

When you are on the airfield, it is just an exciting plane ride. But as the plane takes off and goes higher and higher until you are well above the clouds, then the reality of jumping off the airplane kicks in (as shown in the photos).

At this point, you still have a chance to change your mind and not to jump, but who does? You are strapped to the instructor, so you have no choice but to jump anyway.

The first one minute of the jump (it feels a lot shorter), it's just a free fall. The adrenalin rush you get is just amazing, and you literally shoot through the clouds. The view of the North Shore is definitely breathtaking and magnificent as well.

The landing was much smoother than I though. The instructors were very professional and safe. No wonder they hold a perfect safety record.

If you have not done skydiving before, I highly recommend you to do it. It is definitel

他のツアーよりも絶対ダイビング

Reviewed by: kimu21, 2010/01/14

生まれて初めてハワイに来て、生まれて初めてスカイダイビングを経験しました。

前日までは、オアフ島1周してB級グルメを食べたり、ポリネシアンショーをみたり、人気のアラモアナショッピングセンターに行ったりしました。ダイビングは怖いので迷っていました。しかし、やってみたら比べものになりません。

雲ひとつない真っ青な空、きれいな海、丸い地球、そして経験したことのない4000mからのフリーフォール。どんなアトラクションよりも最高です。私は高所恐怖症でしたが、飛ぶ瞬間だけが怖いだけであって、あとは景色を堪能できます。

ただ、パラシュートを開いた瞬間はかなり引っ張られて痛かったですし、パラシュート酔いもしました。

また、送り迎えの車が乱雑でしたし、誓約書を何も言わずに書かされたり、ついてからいつ始まるか分からない状態でしたので、スタッフの対応は★3つとさせていただきました。

でも、それ以上に味わったことがない事を体験しますので、ハワイに来たら真っ先にスカイダイビングをしてください。

あとダイビング会社が2つあります。保険は利かず全て自己責任ですが、パシフィックスカイダイビングセンターをおすすめします。

PS:写真は125ドル、DVDは160ドル、両方は190ドルでした。価格より価値がありましたので、両方をお願いしました。

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

We had a great time!!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2009/12/11

We had a great time on the Big Island tour today. The flight was
awesome. The pilot, Koji, did a terrific job. He made sure folks on
both sides of the helicopter saw the sights-Pu'u O'o, lava flowing
into the ocean, waterfalls, etc. It was our first time in a helicopter
and it was a great experience.

The reservationists were patient and informative. The folks at the
terminal were helpful, supportive and very upbeat-they truly seemed
excited for us.

We will be sure to spread the good word about your outfit.

Thank you for making the experience positive, simple and memorable for
us.

Great helicopter tour for 1st timers to Kauai... we did this on the 1st day and got a great overview of the island. The pilot was very knowledgable and the rest of the staff friendly and helpful. They definitely had the routine at the store down and getting people to the helicopter on time. Better than expected :D

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

Lava Hunting!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2009/09/29

We did the "Fire & Falls" tour and loved it (although we both got a bit airsick, but that's not the company's fault, that's just because we're prone to it - the other couple with us was fine). I had picked Paradise because it was the cheapest air tour of the volcano (in terms of cost per minute), but I can't imagine why I would pay more for another company because this ride was everything we wanted.

We did the "doors off" tour and it was a 4-person helicopter (not incl. the pilot), so everyone had a fantastic view. I would highly recommend the doors-off experience. My husband is a bit afraid of heights, and even he agreed that doors-off was worth it (but a bit frightening for him). Our pilot was Jesse and he was a lot of fun.

What I loved is that if a passenger spotted lava, our pilot would circle back (as if we were "lava hunting") and make sure that everyone got a view.

The waterfalls portion was brief, and at the end. The main attraction of this tour is the volcano/lava.

Kilauea Volcano Doors-Off Helicopter Tour from Hilo [Not Operating]

Great!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2009/09/29

Our group of 4 booked a "doors off" helicopter ride through Paradise Helicopters. None of our group had ever been in a helicopter before and this exceeded all of our expectations. The front desk staff was courteous and upbeat. The guy doing the safety briefing was thorough and knowledgeable while infusing some humor into the "speech". Our pilot was Joyce and we could not have asked for a better experience. Because there were 4 of us, we took every seat on the helicopter. We were concerned at first about the view from the front-middle seat, but she could still see everything, though you do miss the experience of sitting right by the window.

Joyce did a great job of going over the different areas multiple times so each side of the helicopter could see what was below. Joyce spoke clearly and slowly and we never had a problem hearing what she was saying and she would repeat the "attractions" for both sides of the helicopter.

If you have the option of choosing your pilot, you want J

Gotta Do the Doors Off!!!

Reviewed by: Robin & Julie O'Neill, 2009/09/17

Doors Off is the ONLY way to go!!! Mahalo so much for the awesome tour experience over the Kilauea Lava Flow. Dylan was a great pilot and was very knowledgeable about the Hawaiian terrain we were flying over. He definitely provided a great commentary and guide to the beautiful sights below us. We have taken helicopter tours before over such things as Niagara Falls, but we will not want to be flying with doors on ever again. We highly recommend the doors off experience, it is second to none

Doors-Off Paradise Helicopter Tour & Landing from Kapolei [Not Operating]

AMAZING AMAZING!!

Reviewed by: Lilly, 2009/09/15

Everyone has to do this. I couldn't imagine going to Hawaii and not getting a tour of the beautiful island. We also did the Ranch landing which brought us down this this beautiful valley where they filmed lost, godzilla, and jurassic park. I for sure recommend the landing it was so beautiful :) The operation is a family run business and they are all so friendly and the pilot was very informative and quite funny. He told us all about the island and made sure every side of the helicopter got a chance to see each sight. It is somethign you should do right at the beginning of the trip to get familiar with the island. It is worth the money!!! I booked it as a surprise for my finance and he couldn't stop talking about it :) I recommend surprising your travel partner with the tour, it was incredible. If you don't book this every time you see a helicopter flying around the isalnd you will regret not doing this so just do it :) Best part of the trip.
