All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I went on September 9th. Thanks to our guide Yamamoto's engaging talk, the car ride was enjoyable! While other tour participants looked cold at the summit, we were perfectly warm in our ski suits! We were able to fully enjoy the sunset and starry sky! Thank you for kindly answering our questions about recommended souvenirs as well. I would love to participate again in a different season.

9/9に行ってきました。ガイドの山本さんの飽きさせないトークで楽しい車中♪他のツアーの方が山頂で寒さそうにしているのに、私達は上下スキースーツで防寒もばっちり！夕陽と星空を堪能できました！お勧めのお土産など質問にも丁寧にお答えいただきありがとうございました(^-^)v
また違う季節にもう一度参加したいです。

This was my second time, and I was able to hear different stories with humor, making it a very enjoyable trip. The meals were well thought out, and there was a good amount of free time. I learned about local cuisine, which I think is valuable. I plan to use this service again.

２回目なんですが、又違った話がきけてユーモアがありとても気持ちいい旅でした。
食事も気を、つかっていただいて自由時間もほどほどあり
地元の食事も、教えていただき勉強していると思います。
又利用としようと、思います。

I was in Hawaii a full week and did many things whilst we were there, but the ATV trip at Kualoa was my favorite. When I come back to Hawaii, I will definitely do it again. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys adventure and beauty.

I can't recommend a better way to capture the essence of Hawaii than on this beach trail ride. The scenery is beautiful, relaxing and the overall experience made our trip that much more memorable. We saw sea turtles and even caught a glimpse of an endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal. The horses are very well trained polo ponies that do trail rides in their spare time. ...just another reason that makes this ride unique. The guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. we will be back!

We participated as a family.
The experience of descending from over 4,700 meters was thrilling and exhilarating, unlike anything in the past!
The scenery rapidly approaching from the ground was more about emotion than fear!
The DVD captured everything well, conveying the excitement, so for first-timers, it might be a bit pricey, but I definitely recommend it!

家族全員で参加しました。
高度４７００ﾒｰﾄﾙ以上からの降下体験は過去にはない、スリルと痛快さ！
地上が見る見る近づく景色は、恐怖というより感動そのもの！
ＤＶＤもしっかり撮れていて、興奮状態が伝わってきますので、初めてやる人はちょっと高いですが是非！

I enjoyed horseback riding at a ranch that is almost the same size as Nerima Ward while taking in the wonderful scenery. I signed up for a 2.5-hour course, but it ended up being about 2 hours, which was disappointing. Since the tour specifies the riding time, I hoped they would make better use of the time.

素晴らしい景色を見ながら、練馬区とほぼ同じ広さの牧場で乗馬を楽しみました。
2.5時間のコースを申し込みましたが、2時間程度で終わってしまい、残念でした。乗馬の時間も明記してあるツアーなので、シッカリと時間を使って欲しいと思いました。

This is a horseback riding experience in a very spacious pasture that spreads across the mountainside at an elevation of about 1,000 meters along the Kohala Mountain Road. I aimed for the meeting point by rental car, but there were hardly any houses along the mountain road, which made me feel a bit uneasy as I ventured deeper into the area. However, I was able to easily find the entrance shortly after passing the milestone as directed. There is a reception area a little further up the slope. Since there was already a customer's car parked there, I had no trouble finding it. This reception area is also at a high elevation and offers a great view, but the tour begins after you go further up and around the gentle mountainside. The reception building has a cabin-like style, but it is by no means dirty, and there are Japanese signs, so filling out the paperwork was not particularly difficult. The instructor, a Caucasian woman, can speak a little broken Japanese, but all other instructions are given in English. After borrowing a helmet and listening to the explanation on how to ride the horse, we immediately started riding. The horse was very easy to ride, and there was nothing dangerous about it. Along the way, we could take photos while moving and enjoy at our own pace. Gradually, we ascended, and the view from the horse was very good, allowing us to see the coastline towards Waikoloa in the distance. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a horseback riding and sightseeing tour rather than just a simple horseback riding tour. The weather was clear and comfortable, but the wind was quite strong, making a long-sleeved jacket essential. In my case, I wore a windbreaker, but it made a rustling sound in the wind, which seemed to make the horse nervous, so I was asked if I had a sweater before we set off. Since I had no other clothes, I borrowed a sweater from the locker room before departing. I realized that attention to clothing is necessary.

海抜約１０００メートル地点を行くコハラマウンテンロード沿いから、さらに上の山腹に広がる、大変広々とした牧草地での乗馬です。レンタカーで集合場所を目指しましたが、途中のマウンテンロード沿いには人家はほとんどなく、どんどん奥地へ進んで行く気がして、少し不安になりますが、案内どおりに目標のマイルポストを過ぎてしばらくした地点に、簡単に入口を見つけることができました。そこからさらに少し斜面を上がったところに、受付があります。先客の乗用車が既に駐車していたので迷うことはありませんでした。この受付場所付近でも、標高が高く、とても眺めの良い場所なのですが、ここからさらに、上の方へなだらかな山腹を回るとツアーになります。受付の建物は山小屋風ですが、決して汚くはなく、日本語の表示もあり、書類の記入も特に困ることはありませんでした。インストラクターの白人女性は、片言の日本語を少し並べることはできますが、それ以外の案内はすべて英語で行われます。ヘルメットを借り、馬の乗り方の説明を聞いたら、すぐに乗馬開始です。とても乗りやすい馬で、危ない思いをするようなことはありません。途中、移動しながら写真を撮ったり、自分たちのペースで楽しませてくれます。しだいに高度を上げていき、馬上から見る眺めが大変見晴らしが良く、遠くワイコロア方面の海岸線も見渡せます。単純な乗馬ツアーというよりも、乗馬＆見晴らしツアーと言っても過言ではないくらいです。ずっと晴天で快適ではありましたが、風はかなり強く、長そでの上着は必須アイテムです。私の場合、ウインドブレーカーを着て行ったのですが、風に吹かれるとウィンドブレーカーがカシャカシャと音を立て、馬が神経質になるらしく、出発前にセーターはないのかと言われました。他に服はなかったので、ロッカールームでセーターを借りて、出発することになりました。服装には注意が必要だと思いました。

The seaside location is amazing! It was a bit disappointing that it was only 45 minutes long, but riding the horse while enjoying the beautiful ocean, sandy beaches, and greenery of the North Shore created the best atmosphere! I was able to take great photos that my friends would envy, even while riding with one hand on the shutter! There were three instructors with us, and they chatted with us, saying things like, "They filmed Pirates of the Caribbean here!" and "Turtle!" I had a lot of fun, especially since I'm studying English. We stopped at various places on the way to the North Shore, which was also enjoyable! The ocean at the North Shore was very beautiful and felt like a private beach, which was great! I wanted to play in the ocean as well as ride horses, so I would be happy if there was a plan that combined horseback riding and swimming! But I definitely want to ride horses at this place again!

海辺のロケーションが最高です！45分と少し短いのが残念でしたが、馬に乗りながら、ノースショアの美しい海、砂浜、緑と最高の雰囲気でした！馬に乗りながらも片手でシャッターを切ることが出来たので、友達に羨ましがられるくらいの良い写真が撮れました！インストラクターの方が3人着いて下さり、途中「ここでパイレーツオブカリビアンの撮影をしたんだよ！」とか「タートル！」とか話しかけてくれて英語勉強中の私はとても楽しかったです、ノースショアに来るまでに、途中いろいろな所に寄って行くので、それも楽しかったです！ノースショアの海がとても綺麗でいかにもプライベートビーチという感じで良かったです！乗馬だけではなくて、海でも遊びたかったので、乗馬＋海水浴が出来るプランがあったら嬉しいです！でも絶対また乗馬はこの場所でしたいです！！

I can't express this breathtaking view in words. The sight of Oahu from about 4,200 meters above is incredible. My friends were too scared to try it, but I think it's worth doing since you only live once. Just give it a try!

この絶景を口に表す事が出来ないです。上空約4200mから見えるオアフ島
友達は怖がってやらなかったのですが人生一度しかないのでやってみる価値はあると思います。トライあるのみ！

I went horseback riding for the first time in a magnificent landscape. It was very moving. Everyone, if you go to Oahu, you should definitely try it!

壮大な景色の中で初めて乗馬をしました。とても感動しました。
皆さん是非オアフ島に行ったら行ってみてください！

After a comfortable drive of just over an hour from Waikiki towards the North, I spotted the GUNSTOCK sign and felt a rush of excitement. The expansive ranch, along with the goats and horses, was truly soothing and impressive.

While horseback riding, I leisurely enjoyed the scenery, and at the top of the hill, a breathtaking view unfolded, making me feel refreshed. Riding while holding the reins myself really allowed me to fully embrace the cowboy experience.

抜群の景色の中ノースを目指し快適ドライブをワイキキから1時間ちょっと、GUNSTOCKの看板を見つけ心ワクワク。広い牧場、山羊と馬に癒され感動。
乗馬は、のんびり景色を堪能しながらテクテク、岡の上では絶景が広がり気分爽快。
手綱を自分で引きながらの乗馬は、本当にカーボーイ気分を満喫しました。

At the end of December last year, we visited Maui and Oahu for our honeymoon. I wanted to see the sunset, so I requested to join the Haleakalā tour in Maui. When I called the hotel, they informed me that the weather was going to be tough... But both my husband and I wanted to go regardless of whether we could see anything! That was our answer. When I conveyed this, they replied, "Of course."

On the day of the tour, they picked us up, took us to the post office, and brought us to a yogurt ice cream shop. Since it was just the two of us, we had great conversations, and there were plenty of bathroom breaks. Despite being told that the chances of seeing the sunset were slim, we were able to see it! At the summit, we took wonderful photos, and on the way back, we were treated to warm tea, a bento box, and they provided chairs, blankets, and jackets for us. When I looked up, the starry sky was breathtaking, and I couldn't help but shed a few tears.

My husband, who is shy, also seemed to have a great time talking. Even though it was a tour, it felt very personal, as if we were being taken around by someone close to us. We are expecting a child in November this year, so we would like to join again as a family of three. Please take care of yourselves until then and continue the tours. Thank you very much!

昨年の12月末にマウイ島とオアフ島を新婚旅行で訪れました☆
サンセットが見たくて、私のリクエストでマウイ島のハレアカラツアーに参加しました。ホテルから電話すると、お天気が厳しいとのお答えが…
でも、私も主人も来たからには見えなくても行きたい！それが答えでした。その旨を伝えると、もちろんとのお返事が。
当日、お迎えに来ていただき、郵便局へ行ったり、ヨーグルトアイスのお店へ連れていっていただいたり、私達２人の貸しきりだったので、お話もとっても弾み、途中のトイレ休憩もたくさんあり、ほぼ望みは薄いといわれてたサンセットも見ることが出来、山頂では素敵な写真も撮って頂き、帰る途中では温かいお茶に幕の内弁当に、椅子にブランケットにジャケットを用意していただき、見上げれば満点の星空☆勝手に涙が出てきました。

人見知りの主人もお話出来たこととてもいい思い出だったみたいです。
ツアーなのにツアー感を感じず、とっても身近な方に連れていって頂いてる感じでした。
今年の11月に子供が生まれるので、今度は３人で参加したいと思います。
その時まで体に気をつけてツアー続けて下さいね。
本当にありがとうございました。

It's been four years since my last trip to Hawaii, and this was my first time on the Big Island! I only knew about "Kilauea," so I spent months reading guidebooks and websites to plan my trip. My style is to create the best original plan and explore efficiently and freely by rental car. However, I was worried about the unpaved roads to "Mauna Kea," so I looked for a tour.

I found the "Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour <Reflecting Telescope> by Masashi Nature School." I was attracted by the very reasonable pricing, the Japanese-speaking tour, and the high ratings in reviews.

Our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, was kind and fun. He had a wealth of knowledge, and I found the stories about constellations, which I usually don't pay much attention to, very interesting. The interactions with my junior, Mr. Konno, were also entertaining. It's no surprise that there were several repeat customers.

The "Japanese bento made by Americans" we had at the Onizuka Center (as mentioned by Yamamoto) was also very delicious! I was happy that the "miso soup" made by other tour participants was homemade instead of instant.

The big jump over a 4,000-meter mountain felt like I accomplished something truly amazing, and it became a memorable experience.

Speaking of memories, I have a special one! The day before, I went to Kilauea by rental car and enjoyed the night view of the crater from the Jaggar Museum overlook. While I was there, an unfamiliar foreigner approached me and handed me an iPhone. They were confused about what to do with a found iPhone that was made in Japan. When I called the top contact, it turned out to be "Masashi Nature School Office"! Huh? I've heard that name before…!!! It's the tour I was scheduled to join the next day! What a coincidence! The following day, I was able to return it safely in exchange for a lovely souvenir.

Next time, I want to go with my family. Thank you again!

　４年ぶりのハワイ。初めてのハワイ島！　「キラウエア」くらいしか知らなかったので、何か月も前から、ガイドブックとWebサイトを熟読？してプランを練りました。オリジナルのベストプランを作り、レンタカーで効率よく＆気ままに回るのが私流でした。でも、「マウナケア」は途中の道路が整備されていないことが心配だったので、ツアーを探しました。
　そして見つけたのが、「マウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測ツアー＜反射望遠鏡＞ by マサシネイチャースクール」です。とてもリーズナブルな料金設定と日本語ツアー、口コミ情報の評価の高さに惹かれました。
　ガイドの山本さんは、親切で楽しい方。いろいろな知識も豊富で、普段あまり関心の持てない星座のお話もとても興味深く聞くことができました。 後輩の紺野さんとのやり取りも面白かったです。リピーターも何組かいらっしゃったのもうなずけます。
　オニヅカセンターでいただいた「アメリカ人が作ったジャパニーズ弁当」（山本：話）もとてもおいしかった！　ほかのツアーの方たちがインスタントで作っている「お味噌汁」が手作りだったのも嬉しかったです。
　４０００メートル級の山を飛び越える大ジャンプ！も、なんだか本当にすごいことをやってのけた感じがして、思い出になりました。
　思い出といえば、私には特別な思い出も！　前日、レンタカーでキラウエアに行き、ジャガー博物館展望台で火口の夜景を楽しんでいたところ…。見知らぬ外国人に声をかけられ、iphoneを渡されました。拾ったiphoneが日本製でどうしたらよいか、困っているとのこと。連絡先の一番上にかけてみると、そこは「マサシのネイチャースクール　事務所」！　ん？　聞いたことがあるぞ…？　！！！明日参加予定のツアーだ！　なんという偶然！　翌日、素敵なお土産と引き換えに？無事お返しすることができました。
　今度は家族で行きたいと思っています。またよろしくお願いいたします。

　
　

The weather on the day of the tour was really nice, and the starry sky was perfectly visible! The explanations of the constellations were very easy to understand, and the guide was lively and fun. The silhouette photos of the sunset were also very beautiful. It was impressive to see the red glow of Kilauea Volcano during the stargazing, and being able to download the photos taken later was one of the reasons for my great satisfaction. Thank you very much!!

ツアーの日は天気がとてもよくて星空がばっちりみえました！星座の説明もとても分かりやすかったし、ガイドさんのノリがよくて楽しかったです。サンセットのシルエット写真もとてもすてきでした。星空観測の時にキラウエア火山の赤い光が見えたのも印象的でしたし、あとで撮っていただいた写真をダウンロードできるのも大満足の理由の１つです。ありがとうございました！！

It was absolutely amazing!
I had breakfast at 6:00 and was picked up at the hotel at 6:45.
In the hotel lobby, the driver, Mr. Takahashi, taught me how to fill out the participation form.
You can take your time to fill out the documents on the bus, of course in Japanese.
We picked up participants from three or four hotels and arrived in about an hour.
The training consists of watching a video, explained in Japanese.
The content is simple: ① The position when jumping from the plane (arched back with arms crossed) ② Spread your arms at the instructor's signal (they will tap your shoulders twice) ③ Never touch the instructor ④ Leave the landing to the instructor (extend your legs forward).
The instructor also explains using simple Japanese and gestures.
If you request photos or videos, or both, a photographer will jump with you.
I chose photos, and there were 177 images in the data.
They will provide goggles on the plane.
During free fall, breathe through your nose, and if your ears hurt, pinch your nose and slowly release the air.
I hope everyone enjoys the wonderful scenery and the elegant journey through the sky! ♪

最高に楽しかったです！

It was my first time and I was quite nervous at first, but once I jumped, it felt like I was floating and it was amazing. The photographer jumped with me, and I could purchase the video and photos after seeing them. That was another great aspect! I bought both for $180.

初めてで最初はかなりビビっていましたが、いざ飛びだすと浮かんでいるみたいで最高でした
、カメラマンも一緒に飛んでくれて、ビデオ写真代は見てから購入できます。ここがまたいいところでした！両方買って180ドルでした。

In domestic horseback riding, there is usually someone to lead the horse, and you typically go around a designated area. However, here, I was able to ride alone on the well-trained horses until my backside hurt. However, no one spoke Japanese at all, but it didn't cause any particular inconvenience.

国内の乗馬だとたいてい馬を引いてくれる人がいて、決められたところを1周とかですが、
ここでは、慣れたお馬さんたちに、一人で乗りお尻が痛くなるまで乗れました。
だだ、日本語は全く通じません。が特に不都合はありませんでした。

This time, I participated with my 8-year-old son, and everyone else, including the guide, was foreign. Naturally, all the explanations were in English, so it was a bit confusing, but we managed somehow.

The eco-hiking was a bit fast-paced, so even if your child can ride a bike, it might be tough for smaller kids.

In the afternoon, we went mountain biking, and it was refreshing! Since we were riding on regular roads, we decided to request a trailer for safety, which was the right choice! One of the children from another family seemed scared going downhill and kept falling behind. My son really enjoyed it and said he wants to go again! The sandwiches we had for lunch were also delicious.

今回、8歳の息子と2人で参加しましたが、私達以外はガイドさんも含め
全て外国人の方てした。
当然、全て英語での説明なので、ちんぷんかんぷんでしたが、
何とかなりました。
エコハイキングは、若干歩くスピードが早めなので、
自転車に乗れても、小さいお子さんには辛いかもしれません。

午後からマウンテンバイクでしたが、これは気分爽快でした！
普通の車道を走るので、安全を考え
トレーラーも申し込みましが、これは正解でした！
他のファミリーで来ていた子どもさんが、下りで怖かったのか、
ずっと遅れがちになってしまってました。
息子はかなり気に入ったようで、また行きたい！
と喜んでました。
お昼に配られたサンドイッチも美味しかったです。

Couldn't get all 10 spots so my wife and I stayed back for R&R, but those who went had a great time...loved it. Easy hiking, but not flip-floppable. Would do again.

Stunning beauty and fascinating cultural legacy! We had been before with another company. Both were equally as great, but we didn't book ahead this time. Online-no luck...but when I called the 800 number, Reid Oshiro w Veltra helped with concierge service. Booked my party of 10, emailed and phoned me to confirm, etc. Reid, you were our hero of our week on Hawaii! Before or after your HB trip have lunch at the local pizza place in Waipio and shop the couple of nick-nack shops. Ten mins from trails. Really great food! Nice day!

I really wanted my whole family to participate, but due to the age restrictions for children, I went as a representative (laughs). The sunset and the gradient of the sky were amazing, resembling a scene from the moon. Additionally, the starry sky, where even satellites were clearly visible, was unique to Mauna Kea. The guide's talk was also brilliant. Personally, I was surprised that I could capture such a beautiful starry sky with my mirrorless camera. I even learned how to use the camera from the guide, and it was a very satisfying tour. I want to go again!

本当は家族全員で参加したかったのですが、子ども年齢制限もあり、私が代表して（笑）参加しました。
まるで月面のような光景に沈む夕日と空のグラデーションが素晴らしかった。また、人工衛星までくっきりと見える星空はマウナケアならではでした。ガイドのトークも冴えわたっていました。個人的には手持ちのミラーレス一眼であんなにきれいな星空を撮影できるなんてびっくりしました。ガイドさんにカメラの使い方まで教わり、大変満足のいくツアーでした。また行きたいです！

Excellent tour with excellent guides. Would recommend for all families. This will be the most "different" activity you will do in Hawaii. Instead of the standard rounds in the pool, golf, the beach, etc., do something different. This is a conversation piece.

This was a great tour because it covered three (3) sports in one (1) tour. Our tour guide Jamie was very good in all respects. I would just say be prepared to get a workout. For those that don't exercise, you might want to consider something else. You don't have to be a marathon runner, but if you are a couch potato this might be a stretch for you.

Ballet the donkey came to greet us. He was so cute, rubbing his face against us. I wanted to take him back to Japan! (laughs) The horse was also very smart, and my daughter was in a great mood. We had a wonderful time together as a family until the end.

You can enjoy a different side of Hawaii for family memories.

ごあいさつに来てくれたロバのバレットくん。
顔をスリスリ、可愛かったです。
日本に連れて帰りたかったな～　笑
馬もお利口さんで、娘も上機嫌。最後まで家族で楽しく過ごしました。

ご家族の思い出に、違ったハワイを楽しめますよ。

They are studying Japanese and actively engage in conversation. The friendly owner was a wonderful person. It's a place where celebrities come incognito. The seaside view is beautiful, and I still can't forget it.

日本語を勉強されていて、積極的にお話してくださいます。
気さくなオーナーさんは素敵な方でした。
著名人がお忍びで来られるほど。海沿いの景色が美しくて今でも忘れられません。

Since it was my several times in Hawaii, I wanted to try something other than the usual sightseeing, so I decided to try skydiving, which I had been interested in for a while. I was a bit anxious because I was participating alone, but the instructional video and the waiver documents were in Japanese, which made me feel at ease. The instructor was friendly, and I was able to relax and enjoy the experience.

何回目かのハワイだったので、普通の観光以外のものをしてみたいと思い、以前から興味のあったスカイダイビングをやってみることにしました。一人での参加だったので不安もありましたが、説明ビデオも免責書類も日本語だったので安心できましたし、インストラクターの方も気さくな感じでリラックスして楽しめました。

Four years ago, I went skydiving with this company in Hawaii. I couldn't forget the excitement from that time, so I decided to sign up again. Just like last time, the waiver included scary statements like "we are not responsible for accidents" and "general travel insurance does not cover this," but I understood well that it is a dangerous activity, yet a valuable experience, so I went ahead with the skydiving.

First, a video explanation is shown, detailing the methods and points to note. The instructors who jump with you also provide explanations. However, many of them seem to speak only very simple Japanese. (But since you watch the video, you will definitely understand.) There are many friendly and cheerful people.

You can have photos and videos taken, but since one cameraman jumps with you, the cost is nearly double. When you're on the plane, you can see the beautiful ocean and rise through the clouds, making the view inside the plane quite moving.

Then, under the instructor's guidance, you jump from the plane. Some people felt the wind pressure and said they couldn't breathe, but I was able to breathe normally. It felt less like falling and more like being a bird flying.

When the parachute opens, the drop speed suddenly decreases, which is surprising, but from there, you can enjoy the scenery slowly. The instructor made several turns so we could see various views. You land on the ground in just over five minutes. However, even when the ground is right below you, the landing can be quite jarring. So I think wearing jeans or long pants is better. Last time, I landed normally, but this time, due to the strong wind, I fell and landed on my backside (laughs).

But it was really fun, and I felt I had a great experience.

４年前にハワイに来たときにこの会社でスカイダイビングをさせていただきました。
そのときの感動が忘れられず、また申し込むことにしました。
前回同様誓約書に「事故があっても責任を負わない」とか「一般の旅行保険では保障されません」とか怖いことも書かれていましたが、それぐらい危険なものであること、でも貴重な経験であることを自分で十分理解してスカイダイビングをすることにしました。
まず説明のＶＴＲが流れ、方法や留意点などの説明されます。
一緒にとぶインストラクターの方からも説明があったりします。でも本当にカンタンな日本語しか話せない感じの人が多いです。（でもＶＴＲを観ているので絶対わかります）
とても気さくな明るい人が多いです。
写真や映像も撮影してもらえますが、カメラマン１人がとぶので２倍近い料金がかかります。
飛行機に乗ってる時点できれいな海が見えたり、雲をつきぬけて上昇するので飛行機内での景色も感動モノです。
あとはインストラクターさんの指示のもと飛行機から飛びます。風圧を感じて「息ができなくなる」という人もいましたが、あたしはけっこうフツーに息してました。
落ちてるというより、鳥になって飛んでるような気分。
それからパラシュートが開くと急に落下速度が落ちるのでびっくりしますが、そこからはゆっくり景色を楽しむことができました。インストラクターさんはいろんな景色が見れるように何度も旋回してくれました。
５分少々で地上に降りてきます。が、地面がすぐ真下に見えても着地はけっこう衝撃があります。なので服装はＧパンや長ズボンの方がいいと思います。前回はフツーに立てましたが、今回は風が強かったせいもありコケてお尻で着地（笑）
でもとっても楽しくて、いい経験をさせていただいたなと思いました。

My first experience with skydiving. I boarded a Cessna and ascended into the vast sky. We went up so high that I wondered if we were still climbing. At 4,200 meters, we were significantly higher than Mount Fuji. Naturally, the clouds were far below us. After jumping, it felt like I did a flip. The wind pressure during the descent was incredible. It felt like the flesh of my cheeks was being pulled back towards my ears. It felt quite long until the parachute opened, but later, based on the video time, it was just a little over a minute. Once the parachute opened, it felt like we were going up. After that, I thought we would descend slowly, but… we made right turns and left turns, going over the ocean and back to the coastline. I got a bit motion sick. My younger son seemed to get quite sick. Perhaps because he felt a bit unwell, the time felt longer until we landed. After landing, my legs were a bit shaky. I requested some photos, but I didn’t purchase the video. I only bought the video for my younger son, so while the person is different, the scenery is the same. Since each photographer is assigned to each person, the number of photos and how they turn out varies depending on their sense, so it’s a matter of luck. My husband and I probably won’t fly again, but our sons will likely have another chance. Having experienced it once, I think they will enjoy flying even more next time. Skydiving while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Hawaii was wonderful. I recommend it for those who don’t get motion sickness.

ｽｶｲﾀﾞｲﾋﾞﾝｸﾞ初体験。ｾｽﾅに乗って大空へ。まだ上へ行くの?という位ずいぶんと高く上がっていきました。4,200ﾒｰﾄﾙ富士山よりかなり高い。当然雲ははるか下方。飛び降りてから、1回転くらいしたようだ。下降中の風圧がすごい。ほっぺたの肉が耳の後ろへ持って行かれる感じ。ﾊﾟﾗｼｭｰﾄが開くまで、結構長く感じる。あとでﾋﾞﾃﾞｵの時間からすると1分ﾁｮｯﾄ。ﾊﾟﾗｼｭｰﾄが開くと、上に上がる感じ。そのあとは。ゆっくり降りていくかと思ったら…。右旋回、左へ旋回。海の上へ行ったり海岸線へ戻ったりと。チョット酔ってしまいました。我が家の二男は随分と酔ってしまったようです。気分が少し悪くなったせいか、よけい時間が長く感じられ地面に降り立つまで長く感じました。着地した後は少し足が震えていました。写真撮影はお願いしましたが、ﾋﾞﾃﾞｵは購入しませんでした。二男一人分だけ、ﾋﾞﾃﾞｵをかったので、人間は違うけど風景は一緒です。カメラマンが一人一人着くので、その人のｾﾝｽによって写真の枚数と、映り方が違うので、ここは運ですね。私たち夫婦はもう飛ぶことは無いでしょうが、息子たちは、又ﾁｬﾝｽがあるでしょう。一度体験したので、次回はより楽しんで飛べることと思います。ハワイの美しい景色を見ながらのﾀﾞｲﾋﾞﾝｸﾞは、素晴らしかったです。乗り物酔いの無い方にはお勧めです。

We loved this tour. It was so cool to go tubing through tunnels! The guides were great; John, in particular, was fun, knowledgable and helpful.

Our guide Ed was very informative throughout the tour. I would recommend taking a tour rather than driving it, the bus drivers know the roads well so you feel safe. Other people have mentioned it was a bumpy ride but i didnt think so. There is nothing much in Hana itself, its more the journey getting there, great scenery...
