This airplane tour was perfect from start to finish. The friendly staff was very helpful and accommodating. Our pilot JT was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He put all of our fears at ease. The one hour plus flight allowed us to see all of Kauai coasts. We saw many waterfalls, the Pacific Grand Canyon and the beautiful Na Pali Coast. It literally took my breath away!!! I highly recommend this tour to everyone!! Mahalo!!

It was wasted money. We drove with the guides 45min to Hanalei. There we walked relatively long along the public beach to the kayaks and started to kayak in the river next corner. Nothing spectacular and you can see everything from the road. After about 1 hour kayaking they brought us to a dead reef in front of a hotel where you can go by yourself as well.

There is no other way to see Kauai than from
above. There is so much of the island you can only see from above. I highly recommend doing it. This is our 2nd time here but 1st time seeing it from above. It is totally worth the money. Plus they are the only ones that let my 6 yr old on. After the ride, my wife and I looked at each other and couldn’t believe no other helicopter rides allowed him on it.

前の日の天気が悪く、当日も午前中は雨が降っていたので、少しでも見れたらラッキーという気持ちで参加しましたが、ナパリコーストに到着した時には天気も良くなり最高の景色を堪能することができました。
行く途中、イルカにも会うことができ最高でした。
変わりゆく景色を見ながらのクルージングも最高で、帰りにサンセットを見ながらシャンパンのサービスもあり最高の時間でした。
ありがとうございました。

すべて英語のインストラクションですが、英語ができなくてもぜひ参加してほしいアクティビティです。英語が分からないなりに十分楽しめますし、クルーの人たちがこまめに気遣ってくれて、快適に過ごすことができました。
沖縄やアジアのビーチリゾートで体験できるシュノーケリングをイメージすると、珊瑚や魚影という点では期待外れかもしれません。
それでも、ナ・パリコーストの迫力ある絶景はやっぱり感動もの。
そびえたつ奇岩を見上げながら海に浮かんでいると、とっても気持ちがいいです。イルカやウミガメにも逢えましたし、クルージングメインと捉えて参加すると、とても満足度が高いと思います。
■船の設備
カタマランなのでそれほど大きくは揺れませんが、クルージングの時間が長いので、慣れない人は船酔い注意。
船内に風をよけられるスペースがあり、トイレもついています。
■あると便利なもの
濡れた身体で風を切ると寒いので、防水のウインブレがあると便利です。
用意されているシュノーケルは割と簡易なものなので、持っている人は自前のシュノーケルとマスクを持っていったほうがいいかも。
■食事について
朝食:シナモンロール、クロワッサン、フルーツ、コーヒー
昼食:自分でつくるサンドイッチ&サラダ、パスタ
飲み物:スプライト、コーラ、グリーンティー、ビール、ワイン(白・赤)、等
サラダやハムはフレッシュで、なかなかおいしいサンドイッチになりました。
■周辺情報:
ポート・アレンの周辺には小さなショップがいくつかあり、カウアイ・ローカルのチョコレートやクッキーショップ、ブリューワリ―。ちょっと歩いたところにサブウェイやマクドナルドなどがあります。
私たちは車を運転しないので、行きはUber(リフエから$46)、帰りはたまたまリフエ行のバスと遭遇し、バス($2)とUber乗り継ぎで移動しました。ほとんどの方はレンタカーだと思いますが、カウアイ島はUberのドライバーが少ないので、つかまらないリスクも考慮したほうがよさそうです。

We were lucky enough to get a private tour because nobody else signed up for the snuba tour that morning. The currents were a little tougher than we would’ve liked, but the experience was fabulous. Jared was a great guide and very patient. I had some trouble keeping my mask sealed and with buoyancy. He was a great coach and never lost patience. I had really wanted to see an octopus and it was clear he was looking for them and although we didn’t see one, I appreciated the effort. I would definitely go back again, and am looking forward to trying to get my SCUBA certification when I get home. Thanks Jared for such a great experience!

No complaints about the boat, captain and crew. It was all professional and attentive. Food was great, beer selection included local and usual brands. As advertised, they don't overcrowd the boat, so there's plenty of room for the passengers. I do recommend a light jacket and hat. Unless you stay in the cabin, you will get wet. How much will depend on where you sit/stand. Amazing views to be seen and we were lucky enough to see a school of porpoises jumping around the ship. Sunset off the aft (back) of the ship was worth it.
It's wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed your time on the water with us! Thank you so much for taking the time to tell us about your experience, and for sharing some great details for Veltra readers to consider! We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo and Aloha

We had Kevin and Jared lead our snuba diving experience. They were extremely friendly and knew everyone in our group on a first name basis. My wife and I were a little nervous before arriving because we had never done anything like this before. The experience was amazing! It was easy to breathe under water and Kevin and Jared provided all kinds of tips for getting water out of your goggles, breathing, communicating, swimming, ear pressure relief and more. I would go back in a heartbeat. The tour is also led by a guide (Kevin). He points out creatures and picks them up (if possible/safe) along the way. He also swam slow to allow you to explore and not get exhausted. The guides are constantly checking on you throughout the entire trip. FIVE STARS!

テレビで見聞きしていましたが、この素晴らしい景観をこの目で見ることができて感動の時間を過ごせました。Pilot(Mr.ダレン)さんの英語と軽妙な日本語での説明で、飛行前の不安を忘れ、リラックスでき、あっという間の時間でした。このツアーに参加するにあたって経験したことを少し、記載しますので参考にしてください。
1. リフエ空港からBlue Hawaiiann事務所まで徒歩で約10分(1㎞)くらい。
(ホテルからカウアイバスを利用したので参考まで)
2.入口ドアを開けると、正面に受付。受付カウンターで名前を告げます。次に、当日の体重を測ることになるのですが、ちょうど自分が立っている足マットの下が、体重計になっています。(何やら説明されていたようですが、よく聞き取れませんでした。)
3. ツアーについての説明開始時間を教えてくれます。
4. ツアーについての説明(安全)は、プロジェクターで行われますが、外国人向けに字幕を付けてくれます。最初のオリエンテーションの最後に必要な人は、と問われるので、”Japanese”。(私は、聞き逃しました。)
5.プロジェクターでの説明後に、自分の乗るヘリコプターの座席位置が知らされます。
6.ツアー終了後、受付カウンターで当日のフライト画像(音声付き)のUSBメモリーを購入できます。40でした。

It was a good way to check out some of the sites of movie scenes from Kauai. Relaxing and no stress, if that’s what you seek. Jonna was great, providing more of a local perspective and was also one of the founders of this movie tour. However note that due to recent flooding, tour won’t bring you to Hanalei Pier.

The trip to Waimea Canyon was made so much better because of our tour guide, Kevin, and his narration / history of Kauai. The canyon itself rivals Grand Canyon in beauty. The trip across the island to Wailua was also full of history and Kevin made it fun; lots of movie trivia and fun facts. The river cruise was entertaining and the Fern Grotto is breathtaking. We were also lucky enough to see a baby wild pig while walking back to the riverboat. This is one tour well worth the time and money.

The entire experience was awesome. Nice building at the helipad with merchandise and restrooms if you need them. The pre-flight instructions and guidance upon loading/unloading was great with a photo op post-flight in front of the helicopter. The pilot made us feel safe the entire time. I get motion sickness on boats and was a little worried but no issues at all (I took a ginger pill but not sure it was needed as it felt very steady). Take photos/videos on the ride but be sure to just appreciate it with your own eyes too because it’s really amazing! Don’t hesitate to go, it’s worth the extra money vs. other excursions. FYI - this was a review from a rainy/cloudy day...I can’t imagine what it must look like with a nice sunny/clear sky!

Aloha Thilo,
Sorry to hear that our Hanalei Blue Lagoon paddle and snorkel did not meet expectations.
Many folks enjoy not only the scenic drive by van up to Hanalei but also the short hike along beautiful Hanalei Bay to the staging area; not to mention the paddle/snorkel and panorama that surrounds magical Hanalei.
We are there for folks that choose to rent and go un-guided versus those who want to and maximize their time.
Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays.
