点评:A helicopter flight over Kauai was the highlight of my first trip to Hawaii several years ago, so I wanted to share the experience with my wife. We flew with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. The scenery was just as beautiful as I remembered, and my wife enjoyed it as much as I did.
Everything about the flight ran smoothly, like clockwork.All the passengers on our flight assembled in the small theater for the safety briefing. When our helicopter arrive, all six of us lined up on our spots marked with the numbers of our seat locations. Thanks to this lineup, the crew was able to get us into our seats quickly, in a way that no one had to climb over anyone else. It was so much more pleasant than the chaotic way that we board airliners! The smoothness continued through the flying of our pilot, Marshall, and through the way that we left the copter at the end of the flight.
The careful way that they have organized their flights encourages me to believe that their maintenance and safety processes are just as well carried out.
If you are serious about taking photos, I suggest that you do as I did and pay extra to sit up front. To cut down on reflections, follow the standard advice to wear dark clothing. To reduce reflections even more, I used a polarizing filter. Although I have a modest telephoto (200 mm), I got more use from my 18-55 mm zoom.

飞行过程一切顺利,就像钟表一样精准。我们航班上的所有乘客都聚集在小剧场里,听取安全简报。直升机抵达后,我们六个人都按照座位号排好队。多亏了这样的排位,机组人员才得以快速地把我们安置到座位上,避免了有人挤到别人的座位上。这比我们那种混乱的登机方式要愉快得多!从飞行员马歇尔的飞行,到我们飞行结束后离开直升机,都保持着这种顺畅的飞行体验。
他们精心组织航班的方式让我相信,他们的维护和安全流程也同样出色。
如果你真的想拍照,我建议你像我一样,多花钱坐在前面。为了减少反光,请遵循标准建议,穿深色衣服。为了进一步减少反光,我使用了偏光镜。虽然我有一个中等的长焦镜头(200毫米),但我更倾向于使用18-55毫米变焦镜头。
