Hawaii
I was worried about whether I would enjoy it since everything was in English, but the captain and the other foreign passengers were very kind to my husband and me, and we had a great time! My husband caught two fish, and one was released. We had a total of three catches! I want to try again when we come back to Hawaii♪ Oh, it's recommended to take motion sickness medication in case the waves are rough!
オール英語でしたので楽しめるか不安でしたがキャプテンや同乗した外国の方々も私達夫婦に優しく接してくださり大変楽しい時間を過ごせました!旦那様は二匹釣りあげ一匹はリリース。計三匹の釣果でした!またハワイへ来るときはリベンジしたいです♪あ、波が荒い可能性があるので酔い止め薬は飲んでおいた方がおすすめです!
This trip was a really fun experience as a contrast to the normal beach and ocean explorations that a visit to Hawaii normally includes.
The guide was very informative and the trip was planned well. The van was very comfortable (big Mercedes).
Climbing above the clouds made it feel like we were going to another world. The sunset from the top amongst all the observatory domes was incredibly colorful and the photography was cool with the domes.
The second part when we went down the mountain and set up the telescopes was fun too. The guide had an excellent presentation and mastery of the topics.
I highly recommend-it was out of the ordinary and visually spectacular.
I participated in skydiving because my 68-year-old mother said she wanted to try it. Although I was hesitant, I decided to join in on this opportunity.
Upon arriving at the site, I received a brief lecture from my partner, Brian, also known as "B2." The cameraman, who seemed a bit unkempt and overly accustomed to his work, kept saying "big smile," which raised my spirits, but my anxiety was steadily increasing.
As we ascended to 4,000 meters in the Cessna, the beauty of the scenery was undeniable, but my face was tense. However, Brian and the other instructors made an effort to relax me and kept me laughing.
When we jumped, I didn't have the luxury to pose for Instagram during the free fall. But once the parachute opened, I let out a sigh of relief. Brian pointed out that was the North Shore and said how beautiful it was, and he let me pull the parachute cords to turn right (which was also a bit scary). He was singing, and I could really feel his love for flying. I kept thinking, "Wow, the ocean and mountains are so beautiful!" while screaming in excitement.
After landing, he seemed to understand that I was nervous and hugged me, saying "Good job!"
I was overwhelmed with emotion and hugged him back! That was the moment I trusted him.
My memories of Hawaii are dominated by this shocking and exciting skydiving experience. My mother seemed to enjoy the free fall as well.
I thought the video recording was a bit pricey, but I can't help but laugh every time I watch it. It’s incredibly high, but the video helps me remember so many things.
Skydiving was extremely scary, but I want to go back to Hawaii, and I want to jump with Brian again! I can forget about Japanese society! Just being in Hawaii makes all my frustrations disappear. That thrill is something you can't experience in everyday life. It's not an exaggeration to say that I’ve come to love Hawaii because of this.
For those who are not good with thrills, it might be tough, but for anyone looking to break free from something, I highly recommend it.
Brian is playful and crazy, but the other instructors said that means he’s an excellent instructor, so I recommend him! He will definitely make it a fun experience!
68歳になる母がスカイダイビングしたいと言うので参加しました。
私は尻込みしながらも、せっかくの機会だしということでその企画に乗ったのですが…
現地に着いて、パートナーとなる"B2"ことBrianに簡単なレクチャーを受ける。
撮影用にカメラマン(若干清潔感無いというか繰り返しのworkに慣れすぎ?)がビッグスマーイルとか言ってくるから、テンション上げてたけどビビり指数は着々と上がっていた。
セスナに乗って上空4000メートルに上昇するほど、景色の美しさは確かなんだけど顔が強張ってくる私。
けどそんな私をBrianしかりほかのインストラクターも私をリラックスさせようと笑わせて、気遣ってくれた。
飛び降りて、フリーフォール中インスタ映えする表情する余裕はなかった。笑
けど、パラシュートが開いてほっと一息。
Brianはあれがノースショアだよ、めちゃくちゃ美しいとか話してくれたり、
パラシュートの紐を引っ張らせてくれて右に旋回させてくれたり(それも絶叫系で怖かった)
彼は歌を歌ってた。彼はほんとに飛ぶことを愛してるんだなと感じた。
私はあーすごい、海も山もあー綺麗だーって思っては絶叫の繰り返しではあったけど。
着地してからは、私がビビってたことをわかってたみたいで、私にグッジョブ!とハグしてくれた。
緊張の糸が切れた私も感極まってハグ!私が彼を信頼した瞬間だった。
ハワイの思い出はスカイダイビングしかないというくらいショッキングでエキサイティングな経験でした。
当の母は、フリーフォール中も楽しんでいたようです。
動画撮影はたけーなーって思ったけれど、何度見ても笑えます。
すんごく高いけど、動画だといろんなこと思い出せていいです。
スカイダイビングはめちゃくちゃ怖かったけど、またハワイ行きたい、すぐ行きたい!
Brianとまた飛びたいって思ってしまいました!
日本社会のこと忘れられます!笑
ハワイに滞在してるだけでイライラとか無くなってしまうけど。
あのスリルは日常では味わえない。
これでハワイのこと好きになったと言っても過言ではない。
絶叫苦手な方は辛いかもしれないけど
ぜひ、何か吹っ切れたい方。
おすすめです。
Brianふざけてて、クレージーだけど、
イコール優秀なインストラクターだって他のインストラクターが言ってたので
彼をおすすめします!
とっても楽しませてくれますよ!
As forecasted, it was cloudy and very windy. Since light rain was also expected, I requested a schedule change if possible, but I received no response as the tour was confirmed to proceed on the day.
We headed towards the mountain while gradually acclimatizing to the high altitude, and we received some great souvenir information along the way. However, when we reached the gate, it was past 5 PM, and since there were no staff present, each driver had to process the entrance fee (toll) with a credit card, which caused a traffic jam.
In the end, we couldn't see the sunset, and the viewpoint of the crater was dark, so we missed the scenery of Haleakalā, which was disappointing. If we had known about this traffic situation in advance, we might have planned to pass through the gate before 5 PM. Especially since it was clear even to amateurs that the starry sky wouldn't be visible that day, seeing the crater while it was still light would have provided a different kind of excitement.
The guide's personality was impeccable, and their stories were captivating. However, despite the implication that we would be able to see the sunset, there was no mention of it at all...??
天気予報どおり、くもり、風強しでした。
小雨も予想されたので、できることなら日程変更をお願いしたのですが、
当日は催行とのことでお返事はありませんでした。
ゆっくり高地にならしながらいきますとのことで、お得なお土産情報もいただきながら、山に向かいました。
ゲートのところで、5時を過ぎていたので、係員不在の時は、各車のドライバーが、クレカで入山料(通行料)の手続きをしなければならず、渋滞となっていました。
結局、日没も見れず、火口の展望台も暗くなって見れず、でハレアカラの風景は見れずじまいだったのが残念でした。
もしこの渋滞事情が事前にわかっているのなら、五時までにゲートを通過する計画もあったのでは、と思います。
特に、その日は星空も期待できないのは素人でもわかっておりましたので、明るいうちに火口でも見れたら、また違った感動があったと思います。
ガイドさんのお人柄は申し分ありませんし、お話も魅力的でした。
ただ、日没は見れるような口ぶりだったのに、そのことについては何も触れられず・・??でした。
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with a satisfactory experience on the day of the tour.
Upon checking with the local operating company, we did not receive any reports of stars being obscured. However, if you were unable to see any stars at all, they mentioned that they would provide guidance for your next participation. We deeply regret that you could not enjoy the scenery you were looking forward to, and we share your disappointment.
Additionally, due to stricter entry regulations that have been in place since last year, the popularity of the tour has increased, making it difficult to reschedule to another date on short notice. We also apologize for not being able to respond to your email in a timely manner.
Furthermore, the summit of Haleakalā is at an elevation of 3,000 meters, which is almost the same as Mount Fuji. The weather can change rapidly due to strong winds, and sudden rain can occur. Even experienced guides with nearly 20 years of experience find it challenging to predict the weather on the day. However, we sincerely apologize for the unexpected traffic congestion that occurred that day, which prevented us from providing a satisfactory experience.
Moving forward, we will work closely with the operating company and clearly outline important points on our page to ensure that there is no discrepancy between expectations and the actual content of the tour. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
当日はご満足いただけるご案内ができませんでしたこと、心よりお詫び申し上げます。
現地催行会社に当日の状況を確認しましたところ、星が見えないという報告は受けなかったそうですが、
星が全く見れなかった場合には、次回のご参加のためのご案内を差し上げているとのことです。
ご期待されていた景色をお楽しみいただけませんでしたこと、弊社としても心苦しく、大変残念に感じております。
また、昨年より入場規制が厳しくなったことで人気がさらに高まり直近での別日振替が困難なツアーでありますこと、
メールのご返信が間に合いませんでしたこと、重ねてお詫びいたします。
なお、ハレアカラ山山頂は標高3000mと、富士山とほぼ変わらぬ高山となり、強風による天候の変化が激しく
急な雨はもちろん、曇りが一瞬にして快晴に変わったりと、20年近いベテランガイドでも当日の天候を予測することは残念ながら困難とのことです。
しかしながら重ねて、通常は発生しない急な渋滞が当日は起きてしまい、ご満足な内容を提供することができず、誠に申し訳ございませんでした。
今後はさらに催行会社と密に連携をとり、ページ上でもご注意点などを明記し、ご期待と実際の内容に差異が生じないよう改善に取り組んで参ります。
貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

This experience was one of a kind. To see the island from the back of a horse was truly special. At one point in the tour, you are able to see the curvature of the island on three sides, something that was remarkable to see. I highly recommend this tour!
Aloha,
Thank you very much for your kind review! We are happy that you had a nice time here at Gunstock Ranch and hope to see you again soon.
Mahalo,
Emily Hernandez
Gunstock Ranch
My granddaughter and I had a wonderful day! The guide was funny and knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about the valley and the people that live there! What a great way to learn the history of the valley and the people that live there. I had no idea how tara was grown and the diversity that exists in the valley!!
I participated in beach horseback riding, which is available for those aged seven and older. The weather was nice, and the ocean was impressive and very enjoyable. The free time in Haleiwa was a bit limited. Next time, I want to ride the Dole Pineapple Express as well.
七歳以上が参加できる海岸乗馬に参加しました。お天気も良く、海は迫力でとても良かったです。ハレイワの自由時間がやや少なめでした。今度はドールのパイナップル電車にも乗りたいです。
Thank you very much for your participation.
I'm glad the weather was favorable. I apologize for the time spent in Haleiwa.
We look forward to your next visit.
ご参加いただきまして誠にありがとうございます。
天候に恵まれてよかったです。ハレイワの滞在時間、申し訳ありません。
次回のご利用、お待ちしております。
The ride up is pretty quick with a nice hike to a beautiful small waterfall. A prefect amount of time to take in the scenery before heading to our next stop. There again the prefect amount of time at the waterfall and an easy hike to and from.
I was worried about going by rental car, but using the navigation system made it easy for the two of us. The activity itself exceeded our expectations in terms of fun; although it was said that it wouldn't be very fast, there was still plenty of thrill, which was great. Many foreigners were wearing shorts, but our shoes and long pants got muddy, so it's definitely better to wear shoes and long pants that you don't mind getting dirty. Don't forget to bring a change of clothes. My wife had no problem driving, but it might be tough for a slender and delicate woman.
レンタカーで行くのが心配でしたが、ナビを使って2人で行けば問題ありませんでした。
アクティビティ自体は期待を上回る楽しさで、スピードが出ないとの事でしたが十分スリルもあり良かったです。
外国人は短パンが多かったですが、靴と長ズボンがドロドロになったので、確実に汚れて良い靴と長ズボンを履いて行った方がいいです。
着替えも忘れずに。
うちの嫁は運転問題無くできましたが、細くか弱い女性だときついかもしれません。
I gathered at the meeting point and headed there by rental car, but there was a problem, and I arrived an hour late. However, I was able to participate safely, and as the organizer, I was filled with gratitude!
I think everything was great in terms of safety, scenery, fun, and kindness!
If I have the opportunity, I would love to go again privately! ^ ^
現地集合でレンタカーで向かいましたが、トラブルがあり、1時間遅れでの到着でしたが、無事参加させていただけまして、、、
幹事としては感謝の気持ちでいっぱいでした!
安全面、景色、楽しさ、親切さ全て大変良かったと思います!
機会があればまたプライベートでも行きたいです^ ^
I participated with my fifth-grade and first-year middle school children (ages 40) as a group of three! Since we are an active family that enjoys things like obstacle courses in Japan, I really wanted to go to the adventure park and made a reservation while in Japan.
We arrived after about a 30-minute bus ride from Honolulu, put our belongings in a locker, and were ready to go.
Feeling excited, we headed to the Adventure Tower and were surprised! It was taller than I had imagined... My son was a bit nervous at first, but he easily cleared the first mini bungee jump! With the help of the staff, we managed to conquer all the obstacles around the tower, and before we knew it, an hour and a half had passed!
On the day I participated, there were Japanese staff members, so it was fine even if you couldn't speak English! Inside the Adventure Tower, there were some challenging spots where I thought, "I can't do this after all," but the kind staff came to help, which was reassuring! I highly recommend it for active people, so if you're looking for thrills, I think you should definitely give it a try.
I also think it would be interesting if there were courses that go deeper into the mountains, not just around the tower!
Next, I want to try the zip line.
小学5年生と中学1年生の子供と私(40歳)の3人で参加しました!
元々日本でもアスレチックなど好きなアクティブ派なので、アドベンチャーパークにどうしても行きたい!と日本で予約して参加しました。
ホノルルからバスで30分くらいで到着し、ロッカーに荷物を入れ スタンバイ完了。
ドキドキしてアドベンチャータワーに行ってビックリ!
想像していたよりも高さがある…
最初はややビビっていた息子でしたが、一発目のプチバンジーも難なくクリア!
その後もタワーの周りのアスレチックをスタッフの方にお手伝いしてもらいながら、無事に完全制覇でき、気がつけば1.5時間が経っていました!
私が参加した日は日本人のスタッフがいたので、英語が話せなくても大丈夫でした!
アドベンチャータワーの中にはちょっと難しくて途中で『やっぱり無理〜』という難関もありましたが、その時は優しいスタッフさん達が助けに来てくれますので、その辺りも心強いポイントです!
アクティブ派にはオススメなので、ぜひスリルを味わいたい方は行ってみるといいと思います。
タワー周りだけでなくもっと山の中を進んでいけるコースがあってもおもしろいと思います!
次はジップラインに行きたいと思います。
I took a bus from the Waikiki area for about an hour to participate. After getting off, I had to wait a bit for check-in due to the large number of participants, but there was a space to have light snacks until the start time. The zipline itself seems manageable even without English skills, but I missed some of what the driver said during check-in and on the bus to the zipline location. The guides for the zipline were very energetic and cheerful, making a great effort to entertain the participants, which was a lot of fun. We were blessed with good weather, and I was able to enjoy the magnificent views on most of the seven lines under clear skies. If the weather forecast doesn't look good, I recommend bringing a waterproof jacket instead of an umbrella. There is also a paid photography service, but if you ask the guides, they might take photos and videos for you. After finishing, I had some time before the bus departure, so I relaxed by the sea in front of the facility.
ワイキキエリアから1時間ほどバスに乗り参加しました。降車後のチェックインは大勢の参加者で少し待たされましたが、開始時間まで軽食を取れるスペースがありました。ジップラインそのものは英語ができなくてもどうにでもなりそうですが、チェックイン時やジップライン実施場所まで向かうバスの中で運転手が話す内容は聞きこぼします。ジップラインのガイドの方々はとても元気で明るく参加者を楽しませることに一生懸命でとても楽しかったです。天候に恵まれ、7本中ほとんどは晴天の中雄大な景色を楽しむことができました。天気予報が思わしくない場合は傘ではなく防水の上着を持っていくことをお勧めします。また有料で写真撮影サービスがありますが、ガイドの方にお願いすると写真や動画を撮ってもらえる場合があります。終了後バスの発車時間まで時間がありましたので施設前の海でのんびりしました。
In the midst of a busy schedule, I decided to take a solo trip to Hawaii two weeks ago without any plans. However, I received many emails from HIS about their optional tours, and they all looked fun, so I decided to join one of their plans!
It was my first time going to the North Shore. A few days later, if the conditions were good, there would be a world championship at Ehukai Beach, and I found the various shops in Haleiwa very interesting. The horseback riding was also a wonderful experience, allowing us to stroll leisurely through the valley!
I think the reason I enjoyed this tour so much was because Hiro, our guide, was very good at talking, which made the tour even more enjoyable! His self-deprecating humor was the best! I felt like I wanted to join another tour guided by Hiro the next time I come to Hawaii!!
バタバタの中、2週間前にHawaii1人旅を決めノープランで現地に着いてしまいましたが、HISさんのオプションツアーの案内が沢山メールで届き、どれも楽しそうで、こちらのプランにも参加してみました!
ノースショアへ行ったのは初めてでした。数日後にコンディションがよければ世界大会が行われるEhukai Beachの波や、ハレイワタウンの色んなお店も興味深く、乗馬も渓谷をゆっくり散歩できとても楽しいプランでした!
そうなったのも、案内してくれたHiroさんがとてもお話が上手だったので、よりこのツアーが楽しく感じれたんだと思います!自虐ネタも最高でした!
またHawaiiに来た時は、Hiroさんが案内してくれるツアーに参加したいと思ったほどです!!
I was constantly moved by the beautiful sea of clouds, the sunset, and the starry sky. The explanation about the starry sky was also very enjoyable, and the cold didn't bother me at all. I'm really glad I participated.
とっても綺麗な雲海に夕日と星空に感動しっぱなし。星空説明もとても楽しく、寒さなんてへっちゃらです。参加してほんとよかった。
Diving was a fun and wonderful experience thanks to the instructor, but the guide who was nearly 80 years old was completely unclear in their explanations and didn't listen to anyone, which left everyone in a difficult situation. I wanted a photographer, but that request didn't get through, and since we could only dive once, it was very disappointing not to have a photographer. After it was over, there was no apology, and the attitude of not taking responsibility was very disappointing.
ダイビングはインストラクターさんも楽しくとても素晴らしい経験になりましたが しかし説明のガイドさん?が80才にも近い方で 全く説明がわからず 人の話を聞いてくれず 皆さん困っていました 私はカメラマンを付けて欲しかったのにそれも伝わらずで 一度しか飛べないのに カメラマンもなく とても残念でした
終わってからも謝る事もなく 自分は悪くないという態度で大変残念でした
Our guides were Arthur and Justin. Both are funny and knowledgeable. This tour surprised us in so many ways. It is crazy that you can go from beach weather to freezing winds in a matter of hours. The parkas definitely help. I would recommend some layers of clothes, jeans, and good shoes. Bring a scarf or beanie. For those who live in the country, you do not realize how fortunate you are to not have light pollution. The stars that we saw were amazing. Your eyes adjust and focus so well on all the bright twinkles because there's no surrounding light. It's hard to explain but you feel like a child who's just seen something new and cool. Light pollution is real. On a good night in the city, I can probably see maybe 10 stars. Here, the volume is overwhelming. The location of Hawaii lets you see a lot more. Not only do you see the stars, but you can see distant galaxies as well our own milky way. Primitive, primal, natural are some other ways to describe experience.
The sunset on Mauna Kea was also a fantastic experience. Arthur and Justin are safe and excellent drivers. You see rental cars driving up the volcano on unpaved roads when they shouldn't. It's better to have the experts take you to the summit.
We attended this tour January 3, 2018. This gave us the rare opportunity to see the wolf moon and all the stars. I never knew how much light the moon provided at night.
I would do this again and recommend it to anybody who visits the Big Island.
My reserved day was canceled due to rain, but I was able to quickly change my reservation to the next day and participated then. The shuttle service was on time, and I could schedule my afternoon plans. On the way, I filled out a consent form and watched a video. After arriving, I received an explanation and decided whether to order photos and videos. Since I had some time before my jump, I enjoyed a hot chocolate (snacks and drinks were sold from a wagon). After being called in order, I received a brief explanation and then jumped!! Both the instructor and the cameraman were very kind, and even though I was quite scared just before my first jump, they encouraged me. When I jumped, the wind pressure was intense and it felt like I was falling fast. Once it was free fall time, I felt like a bird! I was able to enjoy the scenery. It was sunny, and there was a rainbow, which was truly beautiful. I requested both the video and photos, and I’m glad I did. Opportunities like this are rare, so it’s a lifelong memory. I had an amazing time.
予約していた日が雨天中止となってしまったのですが、すぐに次の日に予約を変更していただけて、次の日に参加できました。送迎も時間通りで、午後の予定も入れられました。行きのバスでは同意書を書いて、ビデオを見ました。着いてからは、説明を受けて写真とビデオを頼むかを決めました。それから私は飛ぶまでに時間があったので、ホットチョコレートを飲みました。(ワゴンで軽食と飲み物が売られていました。)順番に呼ばれてから、軽く説明を受けて飛びました!!インストラクターの方もカメラマンの方もとても優しくて、私は初めてで飛ぶ直前はけっこう怖かったのですが、励ましてくれました。飛んだときは、最初は風圧がすごくて速くて落ちてるという感じでした。フリーフォールの時間になってからは、鳥になった!という感じで景色を楽しむことができました。晴れていて虹も出ていて本当に綺麗でした。私はビデオも写真もお願いしましたが、どちらも頼んでよかったです。なかなかこんな体験をする機会がないので、一生の思い出です。本当に楽しかったです。
Due to the significant changes in altitude and climate experienced within just a few hours, participation is not recommended for those with health concerns. Even if you are healthy, be sure to listen carefully to the guide's instructions and adhere to the precautions. Doing so will ensure a wonderful experience. (^_-)-☆
数時間の間にかなりの標高差と気候の違いを体験するので、健康面で不安のある方の参加はお勧め出来ません。
健康であっても、ガイドさんの話をよく聞いて、注意事項は厳守しましょう。
そうすれば、素晴らしい体験ができますよ。(^_-)-☆
My daughter, who was previously too young due to age restrictions, was finally able to participate, and we joined the tour together. On the west coast of the Big Island, you can see a wonderful sunset from anywhere, so I thought we might not need to climb the mountain, but the sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea was indeed exceptional.
I was worried about car sickness since I heard there are unpaved parts on the road to the summit, but instead of car sickness, I ended up suffering from altitude sickness due to the lack of oxygen. However, our guide quickly provided oxygen from a tank, and we were able to enjoy the sunset and the starry sky without any issues. I was really glad to have joined a tour with a guide.
At the snow-covered summit of Mauna Kea, I was concerned about the cold, but the rental cold-weather gear from Masashi Nature School was as warm as the reviews said. For those who are sensitive to the cold, I recommend bringing something to cover your face, head, and ears, as well as heat-tech innerwear for warmth.
It was great to have explanations during the stargazing as well. Last time I visited, I did not join the summit tour and only did stargazing from the mountainside, but when it comes to viewing the stars, I saw about the same or even more this time (the stargazing after the summit tour had quite a bit of interference from headlights of cars coming down from the summit). So, if the focus is on stargazing, it might not be necessary to have the sunset from the summit, but experiencing a sunset at such a height, higher than Mount Fuji, is something you can't easily find elsewhere.
前回は年齢制限に引っかかっていた娘も参加できる年齢になり、親子で参加しました。ハワイ島西海岸ではどこからでも素晴らしい夕日がみられるので、山の上に登らなくても…と思いましたが、マウナケア山頂からの日の入りはやはり格別でした。
山頂までの道は舗装されていない部分もあるという事で車酔いを心配していましたが、車酔いよりも酸素が少ないために起きる高山病にかかってしまいました。しかし、ガイドさんがすぐに酸素ボンベで酸素補給をしてくださり、事なきを得て日の入り、星空を見ることができました。やはりガイドさんのいるツアーに参加してよかったと思いました。
雪の積もるマウナケア山頂、寒さを心配していましたがマサシネーチャーズスクールの貸出用防寒具は口コミ通り暖かかったので、寒がりな方は防寒具で隠せない顔・頭・耳をカバーするものやヒートテックインナーで防寒対策をしておけばよいと思います。
星空ウォッチングも解説していただいて見られたのがよかったです。
前回来た時には山頂ツアーではなく、山の中腹でのスターゲイジングでしたが、星空を見るという事でしたら同じくらいかそれ以上見えた(山頂ツアー後の星空ウォッチングは山頂から降りてくる車が多いのでヘッドライトに邪魔される時間が結構あるため)ので、星空…という事にフォーカスするのであれば山頂日の入りである必要はないのかもしれませんが、富士山以上の高さでの日の入りを見る体験は他ではなかなかできないと思います。
I finally got to dive, which has been my long-awaited dream. I was really looking forward to it since my last attempt was canceled due to bad weather. The staff were very kind and friendly.
At 4,000 meters above ground, it was higher than I imagined, and I thought, "Am I really going to jump from here?" But I just let myself go. Before I knew it, I was jumping.
During the free fall, the wind pressure was intense, and I was struggling to breathe (laughs). After the parachute opened, I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery all to myself. The female photographer took a lot of pictures for me.
It was a fun experience, thank you!
念願のダイブで、やっと飛べることが出来ました。前回は天候不良でキャンセルになったので楽しみも大きかった。
スタッフさんはとても親切でフレンドリーです。
4000m上空は想像以上に高く、こんなとこから飛ぶの~?と思いましたが、身を任せてるだけ。
あっと言う間にジャンプです。
フリーホール中は風圧が強烈で、呼吸するのに必死(笑)
パラシュートを開いてからは、美しい景色を独り占め出来ます。
カメラマンの女性も沢山写真撮ってくれました。
楽しい体験が出来ました、ありがとう!
Guides were great fantastic experience loved it all
I signed up at my partner's strong request, and since it was quite expensive, I participated without much enthusiasm, but it turned out to be more enjoyable than I expected.
We started with a brief lecture before setting off. The wonderful scenery seen from the back of the horse was, of course, much higher than my usual view, which made it enjoyable.
The child of the foreign family accompanying us was around elementary school age, and they had a great time.
We splashed through the flowing river, and at one point, we had trouble with a horse that stopped to eat grass and wouldn’t move at all, but looking back, that became a fun memory.
連れ合いのたっての希望で申し込んだが、それなりに高額なので、気乗りせずに参加したが、思ったより楽しかった。
最初に簡単なレクチャーがあって出発。馬の背から見る素晴らしい風景は、当然ながら普段よりずっと視線が高いので楽しめた。
同行の外国人の親子連れの子供は小学生ぐらいだったが、十分楽しんでいた。
川の流れの中をジャブジャブ入って行ったり、途中で止まって草を食べ出して全然動かなくなってしまった馬に困ったりもしたが、後になればそれも楽しい思い出になった。
I saw in the comments that Japanese was understood, but the bus driver and those explaining at the facility did not speak Japanese.
We participated as a group of three, and my instructor explained some things in Japanese, but the other two did not understand it at all. However, we were able to confirm the poses for descent and landing by watching a movie on the bus, so it seemed there were no issues.
It was my first time skydiving, and it felt great with beautiful scenery; I’m glad I experienced it. I didn’t feel the floating sensation at all. It was a bit hard to breathe before the parachute opened, but there was no prior explanation from the instructor on how to handle this. There was a brief explanation in the video we watched along the way, so I recommend paying close attention to it.
Also, I don’t think it was mentioned on the website, but photography with a cameraman was about $120, and with the instructor's handheld camera, it was about $80. I forgot to ask about video recording. Since I was busy having fun every day, I didn’t muster the courage to ask, but after seeing that scenery, I regret not doing so. It seems to be more expensive in Japan.
Others were filming videos, and they looked like they were having a lot of fun!
It seems there are individual differences among the instructors. My instructor was attentive, pointing out things like "over there is ◯◯," and I felt cared for. One of my friends had a lively instructor who did backflips and spun around, enjoying themselves. The other one was not very friendly, listening to music and fidgeting during the flight, and there were only a couple of conversations during the descent. However, they really enjoyed the skydiving itself.
I’ve written a lot, but it was a very good experience, so I recommend it. Also, the English muffins sold at the wagon on the premises were extremely delicious, so I recommend that as well. Definitely!
コメントで日本語も通じる、と見かけましたが、バスの運転手、施設についてから説明する方など、日本語は通じませんでした。
3人で参加し、私のインストラクターはところどころ日本語で説明してくださいましたが、ほか2人は日本語は全くでした。が、降下時や着陸時のポーズの取り方についてはバスの中で観るムービーでも確認しているので、問題なかったようです。
初めてのスカイダイビングでしたがとても気持ちよく景色も綺麗で、経験して良かったです。ふわっという感覚もありませんでした。
パラシュートが開くまでに息がしづらいですが、こちらについて事前にインストラクターの方から対処法の説明はありません。道中で観る動画でチラリと説明があるので、真面目に観ることをおすすめします。
また、写真撮影はHPに記載がなかったと思いますが、カメラマン付きで120ドルほど、インストラクターのハンディカメラで80ドルほどでした。ビデオ撮影は忘れてしまいました。
連日遊んでいたので怯んでお願いしませんでしたが、あの景色を見た後ではお願いすれば良かったと後悔しています。それに、日本ではもっと高いようです。
他の方がビデオを撮っていましたが、とても楽しそうでした!
インストラクターは個人差があるように思います。私のインストラクターは丁寧で、向こうに見えるのは◯◯だよ、などと教えてくれ、色々と気遣いを感じました。友人はノリが良い方で、バックフリップ?をしたり、くるくるしたりと楽しんだそうです。もう1人は愛想が良くなくフライト中はずっと音楽を聴いて貧乏ゆすり、降下中も2回ほどしか会話がなかったそうです。スカイダイビング自体はとても楽しんでいました。
色々と記載しましたがとても良い経験となったのでオススメです。また、敷地内に出店していたワゴンで販売しているイングリッシュマフィンが非常に美味しかったのでこちらもオススメです。是非!
The English guide was great, no problems at all. I had a lot of fun. I will use this service again. They were flexible with the return bus and dropped me off in front of the shop.
英語ガイドさんですが、全く問題ないです。
楽しく楽しめました。
また、利用させていただきます。
帰りのバスも融通をきかせてもらい、ショップの前で下してもらいました。
So we were looking to take in some history and have fun at the same time.
What better way than to float lazily down some waterways and with the help of a great guide who had lots of fun facts spend the day doing just that. Great time was had by both of us. Thanks for an awesome time.
Anyway, the mornings are early. Since it was December, warm clothing was necessary, but I didn't feel too cold while flying. The other party doesn't understand much Japanese, but it was okay when I showed them the printed reservation. Motion sickness medication is a must. Also, since it starts relatively early in the morning, it ends early too, which means you have plenty of time in the afternoon, and that might be one of its attractions! Why not try flying in the sky at least once?
とにかく朝は早いです。
12月だったので防寒対策は必要ですが飛んでいる時はそれ程寒さを感じませんでした。
相手さんには日本語はほぼ通じませんが予約時に印刷してきたもの見せたらok。酔い止め必須です。w
それと比較的朝早い分終わるのも早いので昼からの時間もたっぷり取れるのも魅力のひとつかもしれません!
ぜひ一度空を飛んでみてはいかがでしょうか?
Seriously the most amazing trip ever! The guides were so informative, and we loved learning all about the history of Kauai & the ATV’s we’re beyond fun! Definitely a must to do here!
I chose this plan because I wanted to go to the North Shore. The guide took us to various places in detail, which was really great. I even got to see a sea turtle. However, lunchtime was quite short and busy. The horse I rode was very well-behaved, but as a first-time rider, I found it a bit scary when it occasionally ran. Walking along the coast was very pleasant. It's a plan that allows you to fully enjoy the day!
ノースショアに行きたくこのプランにしました。ガイドさんが細かく色々連れて行ってくれて本当に良かったです。ウミガメにも出会えました。ただ、ランチタイムはかなり少なく忙しかったです。
乗馬はかなりお利口さんの馬でしたが乗馬初体験の私にとってはたまに走ったりがかなり怖かったです…海沿いは気持ち良くお散歩することが出来ました。
1日たっぷり満喫出来るプランです‼︎
My first skydiving experience☆
At my son's request, I tried it with my daughter and him☆
We were picked up at 4:50 AM. While watching a video, we went through the documents and filled them out!
The driving was rough, and I got car sick before we arrived! I didn't want to say this since the instructor was older, but I think others felt the same way; despite the cold, we were told to take off our clothes and jump, among other things. (The instructor said to wear clothes because it was cold.) We wore our clothes from the start since we were cold.
However, the skydiving was beautiful and became the best memory.
As a keepsake, the video and photos for the three of us cost around 70,000 yen!
I thought it would have been better to just get the video when I returned to Japan.
There were various things, but from the pitch dark early morning, the sunrise came up, and then we dove!
I definitely recommend it☆
初のスカイダイビング☆
息子の希望で娘と三人でトライ☆
早朝、4時50分にお迎え。映像見ながら、書類に目をとおし、記入!
運転が荒く、着く前に車酔い!おじさんがお年をめしていたのでこんな事は言いたくないですが、他の皆さんも感じでいたと思いますが、寒いのに、服を脱いで飛びなさいとか、他、多々ありました。(インストラクターの人は寒いから着なさいと)私たちは最初から寒いので着ましたが。
しかーし、スカイダイビングは綺麗で最高の思い出になりました。
記念にと動画と写真で3人分日本円で7万前後の出費が!
動画だけで良かったと日本に戻り思いました。
色々ありましたが、真っ暗な早朝から朝日が昇りそしてダイブ!
是非、おすすめします☆
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide the service that met your expectations.
Upon confirming the situation with the local operating company, I learned that while the driver is not an instructor, he has extensive experience in skydiving and may share details with customers. I was informed that since you are prone to motion sickness, he recommended dressing lightly to avoid feeling unwell during the skydiving experience.
It is unfortunate to hear that you experienced motion sickness despite the driver's precautions. Typically, he is a highly regarded driver, and I apologize for any discomfort caused by his handling.
We take your feedback seriously and, together with the operating company, will strive for further service improvement. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback amidst your busy schedule.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
しかしながら、ご期待に沿ったサービスを提供できませんでしたこと、心よりお詫び申し上げます。
当日の状況を現地催行会社に確認させていただきましたところ、ドライバーはインストラクターではございませんが、
自身もスカイダイビングの経験が豊富なため、お客様に詳細をご共有をさせていただくことがあるそうです。
車酔いをしやすいとお伺いしましたため、スカイダイビングでも体調を崩されないよう、薄着で飛ばれることをお勧めしたとのことでした。
なお、運転につきましても気を付けたとのことですが車酔いされたとのこと大変残念に思います。
通常、とても評判の良いドライバーではございますが、ドライバーの対応により不快なお気持ちとさせてしまいましたことお詫び申し上げます。
お客様からのお言葉を真摯に受け止め、催行会社共々、今後さらなるサービス向上に努めてまいります。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

Really fun riding the military truck and the hike was awesome. Little challenging for people who aren’t used to hiking. This hike is different because it is full of muds and slippery areas. Also you have to cross the 4 streams. Super fun but not recommended for families with kids.
