Most Badass Things I've Ever Done In My Life!
Tijera_E, 25-08-2022
I myself am someone that'd you may call a scaredy cat when it comes to heights and falling, but for some reason, my partner and I were compelled to be our most adventurous selves, which required me to shelve my fears and get on a helicopter. You can have the option to have the doors on or off, and Thank God! (because I kept that door on and held on for most of the ride to make sure it stayed on.) My partner opted for the doors off-version, and instantly regretted it as we were thousands of feet in the air and all he had was a common car seatbelt and a prayer to keep him secure during the flight. Our pilot, Austin, was very chill (a little too chill to settle my fears, but chill enough for me to know he knew what he was doing), and we had a nice conversation while exploring parts of the island in ways we'd never seen it before!
I don't think I'll ever skydive in my life because I'd much rather explore the world on a 'copter. It was a bit windy but overall it was an amazing and truly exhilarating experience that's definitely going down as one of the most badass things I've ever done in my life!
Pilot was amazing. He was...

Pilot was amazing. He was knowledgeable and made us comfortable. The exotic views were most desirable to say the least.

Got to see Hawaii from the air things you can’t see from the ground. Never been on a helicopter so a great experience for all of us. We had a great pilot.
