Honolulu Soaring North Shore Scenic Flights - Piloted Glider Tours in Oahu

pretty awesome experience

Reviewed by: Hugh , 2016/08/01

In spite of very short time 15 min., my son and I were fully satisfied with this glider riding. While being towed by an airplane, we didn't have any concern of falling down. But later we could fly in the air without an engine...wow quite awesome. No worry no concern no fear at all during the flight. a very soft flying..

Honolulu Airplane Flight School Lesson & Scenic Sightseeing Tour

Great experience

Reviewed by: Krista, 2016/06/05

My husband and I did the 1 hour single engine tour. My husband sat up front for the lesson and I sat in the back. Our first thought was that he would get to steer a little bit and get to ask some questions and we'd get a nice private island tour. Nope! He got to take off, fly around the island and even land all by himself. Granted, the instructor was right by his side the whole time, guiding him, telling him where to fly, adjusting things for him along the way and answering any questions he had.

Massa (may be spelled incorrectly) was our flight instructor. He was great! He knew alot about the local area and had over 24 years of flying experience here on Oahu. He exceeded our expectations. After the flight, they gave my husband a nice little certificate.

The reception lady that took care of us before the flight and after was very kind. She helped us with the paperwork before the flight and greeted us with Japanese tea after. The experience was pricey but if we ever get the money to do it again we would.

  • Beautiful views of Oahu (Waimea Bay)

  • The instructor even took a selfie for us!

  • Pearl Harbor

  • We took a bunch of pics with our phone and GoPro

  • Hanauma Bay

空から絶景!セスナ遊覧飛行

Reviewed by: うさこ, 2015/10/10

天候に恵まれたこともあり、空からの眺めは最高でした!
ヘリコプターに比べ揺れも少なく、70歳すぎの母も問題なく遊覧飛行を満喫し、上空からのワイキキの景色に大満足しておりました。
もっと長い飛行時間にすればよかったと悔やんでいたほど(笑)
私は次回は自分で操縦するコースにトライしたいと目論んでおります。

Mr. Bill's Glider Ride

Reviewed by: The Jim man, 2014/09/23

I would highly recommend taking a glider ride up on the North Shore of Oahu to everyone. It was a bucket list item for me and did not disappoint. Very professional staff and my pilot Sean was exceptional. He let me take the controls for about five minutes of the ride. The views are spectacular. Very affordable and the best 20-30 minutes you will spend in the Islands. Be sure and take a Go Pro camera or do I as did and rent one from the glider folks. I have a great DVD of my entire flight.

Honolulu Airplane Flight School Lesson & Scenic Sightseeing Tour

WOW !!!!!

Reviewed by: Janet Wright, 2014/09/13

My husband arranged for this experience for our 35th Wedding Anniversary and he and my 28 year old daughter flew with me. It was truly the most exhilarating and awesome experience I have ever had and I have swum with sharks, skydived, done the Olympic bobsleigh run in Latvia and been in a submarine.
This was my first experience at the controls of a Piper Alpha and I felt fully involved from the moment I sat in the Pilot's seat. Masa, my Instructor, explained things to me in such a clear and concise way that I soon realised I was comfortable following his instructions. With both props roaring, he told me to just 'follow the yellow line' and it really was just like driving a car.
Taxiing out to the runway as Hawaiian Airlines jets were approaching for landing rendered me speechless and after opening up the throttle on the runway, that moment of easing back the yolk for take-off was indescribable.
As we ascended and the sheer magnificence of the scenery opened out below me I could hardly believe that I was actually flying the aeroplane. He was pointing out landmarks and asking me to head towards them, telling me when to lose or gain altitude by using the altometer.
The whole experience was breathtaking but the best moment of all was when I was making the approach for the landing. By that time I really felt as if I was in control and as I descended slowly, the realisation that I was making the landing was almost surreal. There was a very comforting 'bump' as the undercarriage met the runway and we taxied to a stop.
Don't hesitate to book this experience.
I absolutely loved it and can't wait to do it again !

セスナ最高!!

Reviewed by: nao, 2012/07/22

妻とともに参加しました。

参加当日のワイキキ上空は風が強めで結構揺れてスリル満点でしたが窓から見える景色は絶景そのものでした!!

DVDも作成して頂いたので帰国後もワイキキ上空の景色に浸る事が出来ます♪

短い滞在時間の中で効率良くハワイを一望出来る点も魅力だと思います。

今回は操縦はしませんでしたので次回来たときは操縦しようと思います。

また、今回は当方の都合で参加予定時刻を急遽変更しないといけなくなったのですが快く対応して頂き助かりました。

本当に良い思い出が出来ました。

絶対にオススメです!

セスナ酔いも絶景で吹き飛ばす!!

Reviewed by: まありん0410, 2009/05/27

以前アメリカ本島でセスナ体験はあるので、そのイメージでハワイで綺麗な景色を楽しみにしていきました。
ところが、オアフの空港近辺からワイキキ上空を抜けるまでは気流の関係で揺れる、揺れる、、、きゃーきゃー騒いで最初は余裕のないフライトでしたが、そのうち綺麗な海、真上から見るタートルベイリゾート付近の美しさ、ドールプランテーションの収穫時期等がよく見えて ガイドもわかりやすく、大変満足なセスナフライトになりました。
私と主人は運転操縦付きプランではなかったのですが、操縦に興味あるかたは絶対にそちらのほうが思い出になると思います。

今まで何度もハワイに行ってきましたが上空から見るハワイはすばらしいの一言です。ダイヤモンドヘッドのクレーター部分は圧巻です。


おすすめです。

普段できないこと^^

Reviewed by: usa-shirotan, 2009/03/17

息子と二人で参加しました。当日まで、ホントは私が操縦するつもりで居たのですが、中学生の息子でも操縦させてもらえるということで・・・息子が操縦しました^^そして私は後部座席から見学。きちんとプロの操縦士の方がお隣に座り、その席で同時に操縦桿を握ってくれて、細やかな指示で離陸。だから怖さはありません。美しいダイアモンドヘッドや青い海を真上から見ることができました。最初息子も初フライトにかなり緊張していましたが、セスナが上空を滑るように飛んでいるうちにその緊張も解け、操縦を楽しんでいました。オアフ空港の滑走路もいつもの旅客機からの眺めとは違って見えました。滑走路の中を車みたくセスナで走ったのも面白かったです。なかなか普段できないこと!親子でそれを体験してきました。
セスナに乗り込む前に、操縦席の写真を前に説明を受けたり、健康状態のチェックなどしました。スタッフの皆さんがとてもフレンドリーでした。事務所の中にはセスナを後ろにして写した、沢山の芸能人の写真が飾られていました。確かに、操縦士さんのお顔を以前テレビで見たような気がします。
親子でとても素敵な思い出ができました。フライトの様子を映したビデオがありますが、それを見ると今でもわくわくしてきます。息子の今の夢は・・・パイロットになることです^^
ハワイに行ったときは是非リピートしたいです!

Exciting Adventure!

Reviewed by: Sky Captain, 2008/05/01

We've never been on a glider ride before, and we are so glad that we did. It's crazy to fly without an engine and a propeller! We were a little scared first, but once we were up in the air, we enjoyed the breathtaking views of Mokuleia, Yokohama Bay, North Shore Coastline, etc... It's the best way to enjoy the scenary in the north shore from the sky. Highly recommended!!!

今回は初ハワイと言う事で、先ずオアフを空から眺めてみようと奮発してセスナ遊覧飛行を申込みました。時間が無くて足を運べない所も上空から見る事が出来たし、海は本当にキレイで感激ものでした。ただ、あまり写真をとろうと下ばかり見ていると気持ちが悪くなってしまうので、参加される方は前日から体調管理はしっかりしておいた方が良いと思います。睡眠不足は要注意。でも後から写真を見てもきれいにとれていたし、なかなか良い経験でした。次は夜の空を飛んでみたいです!日中も良いし、夜もまた良いらしいですよ。
