My first skydiving experience! It was amazing!! Even though I'm not good with roller coasters, I wasn't scared at all! The view from above was breathtaking. The instructor didn't speak Japanese, but he was friendly and very kind. The photos are a bit pricey, but I think it's better to have them taken by a professional! The driver was Japanese, but during the explanations in the car, he spoke so fast that I couldn't understand what he was saying, which made me anxious. I was told I didn't need to wear a seatbelt, but the driving was so fast that it was scary. On the way back, I was prompted to "prepare a tip," which left me feeling a bit complicated. The diving itself was fantastic, so I want to do it again when I come to Hawaii!
人生初スカイダイビング!最高でした‼︎絶叫マシン苦手なのに全然怖くなかった!
上から見た景色に感動(^^)インストラクターさんは日本語通じませんが、気さくでとても優しい人でした(^^)写真はちょっと高いけどプロに撮ってもらったほうがいいと思います!ドライバーは日本人の方でしたが、車内での説明の際早口で何を言っているかよくわからなくて不安でした。シートベルトしなくていいと言われたのにものすごいスピードで運転されて怖かったです。帰りの車の中で「チップ用意しといてくださいね」と催促され、なんだか複雑な気持ちになりました。ダイビング自体は最高だったので、ハワイに来たらまたやりたいです!

While I was slightly hesitant to pay $$$ to go on a couple hours of zip lining, I am so very glad I did. My kids and I had a truly memorable experience and I wouldn't trade it for anything. The views are stunning, the guides were hilarious and safety was the top priority the entire time. My only regret was that I couldn't take the rest of my family with me!

This was the most fun I've had on the island THUS FAR! The staff is amazing!!! Dundee, Paa (spelling?), and Kelsey did a great job giving us a demo of how to rappel. I am TERRIFIED of heights, but I felt fully confident with the expert staff there to help me. Tanya had this motherly feel so I felt really safe knowing she was at the bottom of the waterfall coaching me through. As you're rappelling one of the staff responsible for you is instructing you on what to do, where to put your foot, etc. Mostly you are trying to figure all that out yourself but when it comes to tough parts they help you out. Really great experience and SO MUCH FUN!!!! THANK YOU ALL FOR A WONDERFUL TIME AND FOR MAKING US FEEL LIKE OHANA!
Btw, if you can't swim, THIS EXCURSION IS STILL FOR YOU! I cannot swim but the bottom of the waterfall isn't really deep so it was completely fine :)

It was an amazing experience. The sights were something out of a story book. Best part about the ride was they got us through different terrains including a very narrow heavily vegetated area. My horse was spirit - intermediate level. And she was pretty free spirited. The runs were awesome with her. My wife had quick smoke who was very gentle yet her runs were fun too! Our guides were awesome as well. All in all definitely a thing to do in Maui.

When I tried to book a zip line on Maui during my previous visit, I was told it was fully booked for quite some time, which was disappointing. So this time, I was eager and made my reservation early. Since I wasn't very confident about driving on Oahu, I opted for a shuttle service.
As others have mentioned, there was a bit of an issue with the shuttle. It was crowded, and they arrived more than 20 minutes late. The driver didn't come looking for me, so I had to go around checking each vehicle, asking, "Is this for the zip line?" Finally, when I found the driver who said, "Yes, get in!", I tried to show him my voucher, but he said, "I know, just show it when we get there," and didn't check my name before I got in the car. I had heard there were two zip line locations, so I showed my voucher to another American customer and confirmed, "We're going here, right?" which finally put my mind at ease.
There were only the two of us Japanese, and the rest were Americans, but the driver was cheerful and chatty, and the other customers introduced themselves. It was a friendly atmosphere, and we arrived in no time. The zip line experience was undoubtedly fun, making it the best day ever.
I wish there had been a voucher check at the beginning, as it would have saved me from so much anxiety.
However, I definitely want everyone to experience the zip line, so I give it ★★★★★!!
以前、マウイ島に行ったときに現地でジップラインを申し込もうとしたら、だいぶ前から予約でいっぱいだと言われ、残念な思いをしたので、今回は張り切って、早めに申し込みを済ませました。
オアフ島での運転はちょっと自信がないので、送迎付きで。
他の方も書いていらっしゃいましたが、その送迎に少し問題ありでした。
混雑していて、20分以上遅れてやってきましたが、運転手さんの方から探してくれなかったので、自分から1台ずつ、「ジップライン?」と探して回りました。
ようやく「そうだよ、乗って!」と言ってくれた、運転手さんにバウチャーを見せようとしたら、「わかってるから、現場に着いたときに見せればいいから」と、名前のチェックもしてくれないまま、車に乗り込みました。ジップラインは2箇所あると聞いていたので、他のアメリカ人のお客さんにバウチャーを見せて「ここへ行くんだよね?」と確認して、ようやく安心しました。
日本人は私たち2人だけで、あとはアメリカ人でしたが、運転手さんも陽気でおしゃべりで、他のお客さんたちも自己紹介をしたり、和気あいあいとした、バスの中であっという間に到着し、ジップラインは文句なく楽しく、最高の一日となりました。
最初に、バウチャーのチェックがあれば、あんなに不安にならなくて済んだのにと残念です。
でも、ジップラインは是非、皆さんにも体験してほしいので、★★★★★です!!

I knew from a TV show that you can drive to a place over 4200 meters high, which is even higher than Mount Fuji, but I really wanted to go there myself! The day I participated, the weather was great, and I could see both the sunset and the stars clearly.
At the center where we stopped for altitude acclimatization, I was able to see the silver swords, a silver plant that only exists in the Himalayas and Mauna Kea. Luckily, I also saw some silver swords blooming, which are said to bloom only once every four years, making them very rare. They looked similar to butterbur, so I didn't take a photo, but I wish I had. (The image shows them before blooming.)
On the way to the summit, you can also see some quite unique scenery, like the Subaru Telescope and the red soil mountains. Depending on the weather, you might even see the red flames of Kilauea during the final stargazing explanation if you take a photo. If you have experience climbing Mount Fuji, you can't help but feel that you have to go here since it's so easy to reach such a high place! It was amazing!
富士山よりも標高が高い4200m越えの場所まで車で行けるのはテレビで以前見て
知っていましたが、実際に行ってみたい!と思い立ち参加させて頂きましが
本当に行くべきですね!
参加させていただいた日は天候もよく、夕陽も星もよく見えました。
高度順応のために立ち寄るセンターも、ヒマラヤ山脈とマウナケアでしか生息していない
silver swords(銀剣草)という銀色の植物を見ることができます。運よくこれいがいにお花が咲いている銀剣草も見られました。4年?に一度しか咲かないそうでとても珍しいそうです。
フキノトウに似ていたので写真を撮らなかったのですが、撮ればよかったです。
(画像は咲く前の状態です)
また頂上までには、すばる天文台や、赤土の山などなかなか珍しい景色や場所も見ることができます。天候によっては最後の星空解説の際に写真を撮るとキラウエアの赤い炎も見ることができます。 富士山登山経験があれば、こんなに楽に高い場所までこれるなんて行くしかない!って感じです。素晴らしかったです!

Captain and deckie worked tirelessly to ensure that every opportunity to catch fish was taken. The instructions given on how to handle the equipment were excellent for novices such as our group. Using local knowledge the captain located good sized fish and each landing was greeted with great enthusiasm but at the same time professionalism and efficiency. As a group we dispensed with the normal method of chance selection as to who would take each strike (the captain drawing a card) and so everyone had an equal share of the catch.

I participated with four colleagues from the company.
Since it was cloudy, we had to wait for a break in the weather to fly, and there were quite a few customers, so we ended up waiting for about 3-4 hours before taking off.
Because of that, I was extremely tired after the flight.
However, I think it's an experience that everyone should have at least once in their lifetime.

I felt a bit anxious about participating since we were going over 4000 meters at the summit of Mauna Kea, but thanks to our guide Matt's careful attention, I was able to enjoy the experience without any troubles and bring home wonderful memories!
After being picked up at the hotel, we set off towards Mauna Kea with a total of 10 people. At first, I was a bit taken aback by Matt's high energy, but his cheerful chants of "yoisho, korasho, dokkoisho" were quite delightful, and before we knew it, we arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center while enjoying the scenery from the car window. Here, we had an early dinner with warm miso soup and a bento box. After a break for altitude acclimatization, we headed to the summit.
That day, we were fortunate with the weather; it wasn't as cold as I had expected. Still, I was grateful for the down jacket and gloves that were provided. The sunset, with the sun sinking and changing the colors of the horizon's gradient, was a breathtaking sight from the 4000-meter summit.
The stargazing afterward was also enjoyable, and we were able to see Jupiter and the moon through a telescope with explanations. I was once again impressed by the flow of the tour, which highlighted unique points, the sense of security, and the professional guidance with photo opportunities and constellation explanations.
Thank you, Matt, for a truly enjoyable experience. If you visit the Big Island, I absolutely recommend the sunset at Mauna Kea; it offers a breathtaking view that you can't experience through shopping or dining. Aloha!!
マウナケア山頂4000m越えということで、多少の不安を感じての参加でしたが、ガイドのまっちゃんの細かい配慮のおかげでトラブルもなく楽しく感動の思い出を持ち帰る事ができました!

ここでは温かいお味噌汁とお弁当で早めの夕食。高度順応をかねて休憩後山頂へ。

I signed up for a jump at an altitude of 4267m (14,000ft) alone. Pickup is available in front of hotels in Waikiki. After about an hour's drive, we arrived at the Pacific Skydiving Center. Since skydiving cannot be done if the clouds don't clear, we waited for about two hours that day. There wasn't much to do during that time (there's only a vending machine around), so I recommend bringing something to pass the time, like a guide map.
They operate with a single small airplane, which can accommodate 8 tandem pairs at once. In fact, they "must" be able to take 8 pairs at a time.
I signed up for 14,000ft but ended up on the same plane as those jumping from 10,000ft. Out of the 8 people, 3 of us, including myself, were supposed to jump from 14,000ft. Although I was puzzled, once I boarded, I jumped at the same time as those at 10,000ft. "Wow, that's low."
After the jump, and after giving a tip, I was informed that I had jumped from 10,000ft, and I received a $30 refund. It seems that "raising the altitude to 14,000ft for a few people incurs extra fuel costs, so it's more cost-effective to jump from 10,000ft and issue refunds." Since there were no clouds, it wasn't due to weather, and it seems they always handle it this way when they don't have enough people for 14,000ft.
Even though I chose 14,000ft for the skydiving experience, they changed it to 10,000ft without my consent based on the number of participants and informed me of this afterward. If I had known this, I probably wouldn't have used the Pacific Skydiving Center, as there are cheaper companies for jumping from 10,000ft.
I received various explanations for skydiving from Japanese staff. It's frustrating to be deceived by a Japanese person abroad, rather than by a foreigner.
The Pacific Skydiving Center is an insincere company. Also, tips are placed in a box (there's no confirmation of the amount), so you can just put in $10 casually.
一人で高度4267m(14000ft)に申し込みました。
ピックアップはワイキキのホテル前でしてもらえます。
1時間ほど走りパシフィックスカイダイビングセンターに到着しました。
雲が晴れないとスカイダイビングはできないということで当日は2時間ほど待ちました。その間何もすることがない(周りには自販機くらいしかない)ので、ガイドマップなど暇つぶしできるものを持参することをおすすめします。
小型飛行機一台ですべて運営していて一度に8組のタンデムが乗れるようです。
というか「必ず」一度に8組乗せられます。
私は14000ftに申し込みましたが10000ftの人と同じ飛行機に乗りました。8人中私を含めた3人は14000ftでした。
疑問に思いながらも乗り込んでしまったが最後、スカイダイビングも10000ftの人と同じタイミングで飛びました。
「いや、低いわ。」
飛んだ後、それもチップを渡した後に10000ftで飛んだことを伝えられ30ドルの返金が有りました。
「数人のために14000ftまで上がるのは余計に燃料代がかかるから10000ftで飛ばして返金したほうがコストがかからない」ということなのでしょう。
雲もありませんでしたので天候の理由ではなく、14000ftが8人揃わない時はいつもこういう対応をしているのでしょう。
せっかくのスカイダイビングだからと14000ftを選んでも人数によって勝手に10000ftへ変更され、事後にその事実を伝えるというこの対応はいかがなものでしょうか。
10000ftで飛ぶならより安い会社も有りますので、私はこれを知っていたらパシフィックスカイダイビングセンターは利用していないと思います。
スカイダイビングを行うための様々な説明は日本人のスタッフに受けました。
海外で外人に騙されるのならまだしも、海外で日本人に騙されるというのは余計腹が立ちます。
パシフィックスカイダイビングセンターは不誠実な会社です。
なおチップはポストに入れる形式ですので(額を確認されることもないので)適当に10ドル入れておけばいいでしょう。

We went to the top, little lightheaded but no big deal. The stop at the lower altitude helps. Dinner was fun, just like going out camping, no frills, you get your portion and you eat it. Lasagna was actually very tasty, not overcooked, then back into the van( very comfortable), and up we go.
The summit was surreal, enveloped in the mist and clouds with large telescopes all around. We did not see the sunset because of the clouds. But it was still a great experience. We also had bad luck with star watching despite our driver's best efforts. At the end we were told that we will get a full refund minus our food ( $19). That was what convince me that the company stood behind its word. I plan to take the same trip as soon as I get back, and I will. I believe that given all the variables every trip is unique and worth taking. It was a great experience, we felt well taken care of and completely safe. Good job Veltra and our guide and driver Greg. Thank you.

The weather was unstable, and in Haleiwa, there was a power outage due to heavy rain and lightning, so we couldn't enjoy shopping, but we were able to enjoy horseback riding in the rain.
Perhaps because there were many people, there weren't enough rain gear, and the guide offered his own jacket. I thought it would be good to prepare with more leeway.
It was my first time horseback riding, but there were no problems at all. Even when the horse stopped to graze along the way, the staff casually said, "Let it eat."
The garlic shrimp recommended by the guide was the most delicious I've ever had, and I'm glad they introduced it to us. The children also said it was the most fun memory of their trip to Hawaii.
I would definitely like to participate again.

During the drive from the pickup location to Mauna Kea, we listened to the guide's explanations and interesting stories, making the long journey enjoyable. We had dinner at the Onizuka Visitor Center, where they provided miso soup, creating a warm and comforting moment. It was quite cold near the summit of Mauna Kea, but they lent us warm clothing, allowing us to take our time and enjoy the sunset. The weather was great, and we were able to see a beautiful sunset from the best spot; it was the most stunning sunset I have ever witnessed.
After the sun set, we descended to about 3,500 meters and enjoyed stargazing. The guide mentioned that since it was the day after a new moon, we could see stars up to magnitude 6, which is usually difficult to see. Starting with the North Star and the Big Dipper, we explored the twelve zodiac constellations, the Southern Cross, and the winter Milky Way, with the guide providing detailed explanations using a laser pointer while incorporating Greek mythology. Here, we were served warm tea and chocolate chip cookies, which helped warm our chilled bodies as we enjoyed the beautiful starry sky. Thank you to our guide, Matsuzaki-san, for this wonderful experience!

日が沈んでから山を3500m程のところまで降り、星空鑑賞をしました。 この日は新月の翌日で普段は難しい6等星まで見えるとガイドの方がおっしゃっていました。 北極星と北斗七星から始まり黄道12星座、南十字星、冬の天の川などギリシャ神話を交えながらレザーポインターを使って丁寧に説明して下さいました。ここでは温かい紅茶とチョコレートチップクッキーが振る舞われ、冷えた身体を暖めながら美しい星空を堪能できました。今回お世話になったガイドの松崎さん、ありがとうございました!

My 14 yr old son and I did the zip line tour. Our guides were personable and engaging. I loved the tandem so we could zip at the same time! What a great day!!

Mr. Nakamura constantly shared various local stories, so the one-hour drive from Haleiwa to Oahu was not boring at all! The horseback riding in the valley was a bit nerve-wracking, but the horses are well-trained enough for beginners to ride comfortably, so you can ride with peace of mind. The staff at the riding arena are cheerful and kind people. I was able to enjoy the garlic shrimp in Haleiwa at a leisurely pace, and it was a very satisfying trip! 😊
中村さんが絶えず色々現地のお話をしてくれたので、ハレイワーオアフ間の1時間のドライブも退屈せず過ごせました!
渓谷乗馬は少しドキドキしましたが、初心者も心地よく乗れる位に訓練された馬なので、安心して乗れますよ〜。馬場のスタッフさんも陽気で優しい人です。
ハレイワのガーリックシュリンプもゆっくり食べれて、大満足の旅行でした^^

The view from the Mendes lunch on my second visit was amazing, but as a second challenge on the trail, it was just okay. Thanks to that, I've gotten into horseback riding and I'm enjoying my youth at the riding club.
二度目のメンデスランチ景色は最高やけれど二回目のトレイル挑戦としては、まぁまぁでした。おかげで乗馬にはまり乗馬クラブで青春してます By 60代

In 2013, I became hooked on horseback riding at Mendes Ranch on Maui, and I took lessons in Japan (about 110 rides) and obtained a level 4 certification. This was my second attempt at trail riding in Hawaii! There were eight people in the group, but I was the only Japanese. Even though I couldn't speak the language, I had a great time. A white woman from the mainland U.S. complimented me in broken Japanese, saying, "You're good at horseback riding," which really surprised me. I had an amazing time cantering across the grasslands.
2013年マウイ島(メンデス牧場)で乗馬にはまり、日本で乗馬を習い(約110鞍)4級取得。
ハワイ外乗2度目の挑戦!8名の団体さんでしたが日本人は小生ひとり、言葉がしゃべれなくとも十分楽しめました。アメリカ本土の白人女性からカタコトの日本語で「乗馬上手いですね」と声をかけてもらいチョービックリポン。草原での駈歩は最高に楽しめました。

Hiking in the rainforest was refreshing. Our guide, Terry, provided explanations in English (making it easy to understand even for those who are not good at English), so I was able to enjoy and learn at the same time.
熱帯雨林の中をハイキング、リフレッシュ出来ました。ガイドのテリーさんが、英語で説明(英語が苦手な人にも分かるように)をしながら案内してくれるので、学びながら楽しめました。

I joined a tour to see the starry sky. Since I don't have much knowledge about astronomy and I'm not confident in my physical strength, I chose the sunset option instead of the sunrise. The summit was above the sea of clouds, and thanks to that, I was able to see a wonderful sunset.
At the Onizuka Center along the way, I had an early bento, borrowed warm clothing, and was able to acclimate to the high altitude. It was very cold near the summit, but it was great that this tour provided separate warm clothing for the upper and lower body.
Since the time at the summit was limited, we did the stargazing on the way down at a small clearing. The Canopus, which I saw for the first time, was truly magnificent. However, I participated in mid-March when the first quarter moon was directly overhead, making it very bright, and I was unfortunately unable to see the nearby stars. Next time, I would like to come in the summer during the new moon to see the Milky Way.
満天の星を見たくツアーに参加しました。
天文知識がなく体力に自信もないことからサンライズでなくサンセットを選択しました。
頂上は雲海を抜けたところにあり、おかげさまですばらしいサンセットを見ることができました。
途中の鬼塚センターで、早めの弁当をいただき、防寒着を借り、十分高地になれることができ、ました。
頂上付近はとても寒かったですが、このツアーでは上下別々の防寒着を借りられたので良かったです。
頂上にいられる時間が制限されているということで、星空観測は降りる途中、少しの空き地で行いました。
初めて見たカノープスはとても素晴らしかった。
ただ参加したのは3月の中旬で上弦の月でが真上にあり、とてもまぶしく、近辺の星が見られず大変残念でした。
次回は夏の新月に天の川を見にきたいと思います。
Dear Seichan,
Thank you for participating in our Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour. Unfortunately, it seems the moon phase wasn't very favorable this time, but we hope you will join us next time to see the Milky Way during the summer new moon. All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit to the island.

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a satisfactory service.
Upon confirming with the local operating company, it was reported that due to safety reasons, it was necessary to change the jump to a lower altitude than originally planned.
Skydiving regulations are very strict, and we check the weather up until just before the jump to determine the appropriate altitude, so we appreciate your understanding. Additionally, while we have been informed that the reason for the refund was explained, we sincerely apologize for the insufficient explanation provided on-site, which may have caused you discomfort.
We take your feedback seriously and, together with the operating company, will strive to improve our services in the future.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite 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、ご満足いただける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。
今回の内容を現地催行会社に確認させていただきましたところ、
安全上の理由により、予定より低い高度からのジャンプに変更する必要があったと報告がございました。
スカイダイビングは法律が非常に厳しく、ジャンプする直前まで天候をチェックし、飛べる高さを判断しておりますため、ご理解いただけますと幸いです。
また、ご返金の際に理由を説明させていただいたと報告をうけてはおりますが、実際は現地での説明が不十分であったため、ご不快なお気持ちにさせてしまい、誠に申し訳ございません。
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。
