ハワイ島は、ハワイ諸島で最大の島であり、ビッグアイランドと呼ばれています。残りの島々をすべて合わせた大きさとほぼ同じであり、さまざまな生命に満ちあふれています。総面積4,000平方マイル (約10,400平方キロメートル) に及ぶこの島には、鬱蒼 (うっそう) と茂る熱帯雨林、黒砂海岸、雪を頂く山々、古代ハワイの集落跡、雄大なキラウエア火山といった見所が数多くあります。
600万年にわたる自然の驚異が、自然の賜物と呼ばれる今日のカウアイをつくりました。特に、他に類を見ない美しさのナパリ海岸、(「太平洋のグランドキャニオン」と呼ばれる) ワイメア渓谷、絶景のワイアレアレ山 (地球で2番目に降水量が多い場所) は、カウアイの素晴らしい奇跡であり、奥地にあるため、ヘリコプターでなければ近づけません。

I can't think of a better way to see the Big Island than to get on board a Blue Hawaiian Helicopters flight. From the world's most active volcano (Kilauea) to the lush green valleys along the Hamakua Coast - truly amazing! They offer three different flights, which include a two hour flight (Big Island Spectacular), two 50 minute flights (Circle of Fire and the Kohala Coast Adventure)
Worth every penny spent. Best experience of my life.
Absolutely incredibly fantastic! The Grand Island Tour with a stopover at a magnificent secluded waterfall. Organization and security top! First class helicopter, great visibility. World class pilot (Toshi). Also an entertainer and tour guide! Hammer! Actually can't be put into words! At least 10 stars!
We originally booked the helicopter tour to view the Mauna Loa lava, but since the lava is no longer coming out, they gave us the choice of doing a volcano tour or a waterfall tour. We chose the waterfall tour, and were not disappointed. Our pilot and tour guide, Ethan, was very knowledgeable and easy-going. He was also very personable. He took us to witness some, amazing aerial views. I would love to do this tour again on some of the other islands. Thank you, Ethan!
Great experience! Our pilot, James, was very informative and made flying through the Big Island memorable. I was able to get some great photos and videos of the volcano (some lava sighting), Kohala coastline, Hawaiian valley (Waimanu I think), and even a rainbow sighting. The accompanying music and ability to ask questions while in the air was a great way to enjoy the sights and learn about the island. Would recommend to anyone visiting the Big Island.
Worth the price to see the volcano and waterfalls. Have flown at this location three times over a 20 year period. Each time was memorable. Get the DVD and take lots of pictures. My first time I got the VHS tape. Ha. Tour guides are excellent and generally enjoy their job. They are informative and personable. They will even swing the helicopter around to let you take pictures etc. Crew does a good job going over safety. Ignore the price. This is an experience you will never forget.
