Alright guys welcome back to another Hawaii vlog.
Today we're doing something totally awesome.
We're doing a helicopter ride with the kids.
We've come to Blue Hawaiian Helicopters.
We're on the island of Oahu.
And we've decided to do the one hour island tour.
So we're really looking forward to it. We've never done anything like this before.
I'm a little bit nervous about how the kids are going to go.
If you don't know our kids or
or if you've never been to our channel before
Javi is nearly 4 years old and Joaquin is only about 18 months.
So if you're interested to see how we cope flying with kids in a helicopter ok keep watching.
Are we ready guys.
Yeah.
What are you eating?
Nothing.
By the way guys if you're interested to know how much this is costing, it's expensive.
We're looking at three hundred and twenty dollars per person. I have to pay for Elisa,
myself and Javi. Joaquin gets to sit on a lap for free.
So about nine hundred and sixty US dollars all up.
Which is pretty close to how much we
paid for our flights and actually gets a Hawaii so.
Anyway we'll see if it's worth.
It should be awesome. Let's go.
When we first arrived we were given black shirts to wear for the ride.
We then listened to a mandatory safety briefing before heading out to the tarmac
for a photograph before our flight.
The reason for the black shirts is that the black clothing can't be seen
reflected in the windows of the helicopter. Giving you a better view
during the flight.
We started off flying by Waikiki and Diamond Head Crater.
We then swung into Hanauma Bay and had a few of Koko Head to the right of this shot.
Our pilot was awesome. He was super friendly and he did an amazing job
explaining all the landmarks we were flying over and sharing some interesting
facts about the island.
We then continued up the windward side of the island where we could see the
Makapu'u light house and some of the smaller islands just offshore.
It was at about this point both Javi and Joaquin had fallen asleep.
We were about to go past the section of the island we were most excited to see
and that was the Kualoa Ranch.
This landscape is very well known from so
many movies and TV shows.
And it was so cool to get above it and look down the valley.
We were then taken into a narrow valley where we could see Sacred Falls.
One of a Oahu's tallest waterfalls.
We learned after this trip that back in
1999 access to the waterfall had been closed. After a land slide killed 8 people.
Now the waterfall it's only accessible by helicopter.
Next was a quick fly over the North Shore before heading to the leeward side of
the island which is a vastly different landscape being on this on the island
that gets very little rainfall.
The final notable landmark we saw was the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbour
before heading back to the airport.
Alright guys that was incredible.
If you come to Hawaii you have to do a helicopter tour.
It was only one hour. But
Oh it was amazing. It was amazing yeah.
You get to see things that you just... no one's going to get to see.
A lot of locals haven't seen the things that we just got to see.
Waterfalls and the peaks.
Yeah the valleys were just amazing. Yeah.
And I know we probably just showed you alot of the footage but
it's not going to compare to actually being in it.
Also the pilot gives a really good, ah I guess guide.
and he talks about a lot of the locations and
all of the movies that have been filmed in the area.
And that was pretty cool to learn about those things as well.
So yeah we really enjoyed it.
Okay. And the kids slept the whole way. Yeah.
Javi was awake for the beginning and then he fell asleep
Joaquin slept almost the whole way.
So it was a pretty expensive nap. Like $320.
