Big Island Spectacular Circle Island Helicopter Flight with Landing Option
Volcano tour
Reviewed by: Adele + Samantha, 2010/12/29The helicopter trip was fun. The pilot (Julie) was very informative. Would have been better if the volcano was erupting so that we could have seen that!

Big Island Spectacular Circle Island Helicopter Flight with Landing Option
Outstanding
Reviewed by: Peggy, 2010/10/11The 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.

マウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測ツアー ＜午後／天体望遠鏡／夕食付／英語ガイド＞ by ハワイフォレスト＆トレイル
謎の飛行物体が出た！
Reviewed by: げんき姉, 2010/09/27マウナケア山頂からの眺めはすばらしいの一言でした。
目の前一面の雲海、徐々にオレンジ色に染まる空、
沈む寸前は空が燃えるようでした。
とてもとても寒くて笑えるほどだったけど、それもいい思い出です。
その後にオニヅカセンターで星空の説明を受けました。
英語だったので半分以下しか理解できませんでしたが、
天体望遠鏡で月の表面を見れたのは感動でした。
全員で星空の説明を受けているときに、突然謎の飛行物体が見えて、ガイドの方も「I have never seen！」と言ってめちゃめちゃ興奮しました。多分ロケット？とのことでしたが真相は定かではありません。
ゴハンも意外と(すみません)美味しくて、私は満足でした。
できれば英語だけではなく、少しでもいいから日本語を話せるガイドさんがいるともう少し星空を楽しめたかなぁと思いました。

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation
Fantastic Tour
Reviewed by: SAR, 2010/07/10Great transportation, very knowledgeable guides/drivers, wonderful "star gazing," well prepared food (too much for one person to eat at one meal!) with stainless steel table service, warm parkas and gloves provided. Recommend wearing jeans, sneakers and socks, and perhaps a light jacket to wear under the parka. Understand that it will be cold at these altitudes and be wary of altitude sickness if you are normally near sea level. Be well rested when you go and altitude shouldn't be a problem since a couple of rests (and restroom stops) as you ascend are provided. On the ride back after excellent stargazing and a hot drink and cookie, really nice and varied selections of music were played! I've never seen such wonderful sky views! Hope to come again and bring grandchildren!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation
Mauna Kea Summit
Reviewed by: William, 2010/04/04I would not recommend this activity unless you've already done most everything else on this island. Everyone we talked to after getting back was dis-appointed. It sure isn't what I thought. First the transportation isn't very convenient. Getting to and from the pick up points should be improved. Next on the way up the mountain we stopped at a gift/visitor shop. Thats where we had a cardboard box dinner in the van. Someone else said bring a sandwich. I also recomend that. Going on up the hill. The observatories we only got to see from the outside, and was just told about them. We did watch a nice sunset at 13,780 feet of elevation. It was a nice view although I like the sunsets over the beach better. After the sun went down we left and went down to about 7000 feet elevation and they set up 11inch Celestron telescopes. Nice telescopes, i have a friend who has one. We saw several stars and clusters ect. Beautiful clear sky. Chitchen-Itza ruins in Mexico was just a clear a

Big Island Spectacular Circle Island Helicopter Flight with Landing Option
Big Island
Reviewed by: William, 2010/04/04To 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.

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation
Excellent Experience
Reviewed by: Sylvia, 2009/12/06The 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

マウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測ツアー ＜午後／天体望遠鏡／夕食付／英語ガイド＞ by ハワイフォレスト＆トレイル
星だらけの空でした
Reviewed by: 匿名希望, 2009/10/01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。

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＞
ヘリツアー!！
Reviewed by: hiro, 2009/08/2083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。

Reviewed by: Donna, 2009/08/07I 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.

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＞
ECO-Starは観光バスより快適
Reviewed by: ひろ, 2009/04/04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。

又、参加するならブルーハワイアンヘリコプターズ！！
Reviewed by: 匿名希望, 2009/03/29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

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation
Trip
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/09/22Overall, 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

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＞
キラウエアの脅威のパワーを実感
Reviewed by: MARUKO, 2008/08/31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・・・）

Reviewed by: Holly Howell, 2008/06/27Tour 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.

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation
Absolutely Must Do
Reviewed by: SnowMan, 2008/06/14This 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!!!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventure
Reviewed by: Angela and Dan, 2008/04/07We 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.
