Niihau Helicopter的点评
点评：Experiences that grab you and then stay with you. The Niihau Helicopters tour of the island that provides its name is one of those. Ours was professionally flown and narrated by Dana, who knows his stuff.
We saw seabirds feeding in the channel, dolphins cavorting. Niihau’s rugged cliffs, pristine beaches with no footprints, upland kiawe forests with herds of sheep, eland, horses, cattle, boar and a couple of other species. Flights of Hawaiian stilts cruising over the lakes and reservoirs, boobies feeding along the surf breaks and frigatebirds overhead. We spotted a school of akule in shallow water that must have been an acre in extent, with a big shark feeding on it. Dozens of seals hauled out on the beaches.
We swept inland, and then circled the island and landed for a few hours of relaxation and beachcombing at the northern tip of the island, less than a mile from Lehua Island, a seabird refuge. Vast stretches of white sand, shells, tidepools and an amazing array of derelict fishing gear, wrecked watercraft and varied plastic objects driven ashore by strong winds and seas. The shapes created by weathered lithified ash deposits onshore and in the nearshore waters are mesmerizing—they date to the eruptions of Lehua some hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Just wow.

翻译：那些扣人心弦、久久萦绕于心的体验。尼豪岛直升机之旅正是其中之一。我们的行程由经验丰富的Dana驾驶，并担任解说员。
我们看到海鸟在海峡觅食，海豚嬉戏。尼豪岛崎岖的悬崖，原始的海滩上没有一丝足迹，高地的基阿维森林里栖息着成群的绵羊、大羚羊、马匹、牛群、野猪和其他一些物种。成群的夏威夷长脚鹬在湖泊和水库上空翱翔，鲣鸟在浪花旁觅食，军舰鸟在头顶盘旋。我们在浅水区发现了一群阿库勒鱼，面积足有一英亩，一条大鲨鱼正在那里觅食。数十只海豹在海滩上游弋。
我们向内陆前进，然后绕岛一周，最终在岛的北端登陆，在那里休息了几个小时，拾取海滩拾物。这里距离海鸟保护区利华岛不到一英里。广阔的白色沙滩、贝壳、潮池，以及琳琅满目的废弃渔具、失事船只和被强风和海水冲上岸的各种塑料制品，令人叹为观止。岸上和近岸水域中，风化的岩化火山灰沉积物所形成的形状令人着迷——它们可以追溯到几十万年前利华火山的喷发。
真是令人惊叹。
