Hawaii
My first skydiving experience!
Since it was an early morning plan, we gathered at dawn. I was a bit worried because it was a local tour, but I felt reassured when I could watch a Japanese video in the car during the transfer.
When we arrived at the venue, the local instructor explained everything in English. They said we would be called when it was our turn.
While waiting to be called, I had breakfast from a food truck nearby. The muffin was very delicious.
No matter how long I waited, I wasn't called.
Before I knew it, I had been waiting for about 5 hours.
I wondered why it was taking so long.
The local operation was a bit disorganized, and they were guiding customers who arrived later before us.
No wonder I wasn't called...
I guess that's just part of the national character, so there's nothing to be done about it. Hmm.
Finally, I was called, so I gathered my spirits.
I put on the harness, and it was time for the rehearsal.
After practicing a few times on the ground, we boarded a small plane.
In about 10 minutes, we quickly reached an altitude of 4,000 meters!
If you're sensitive to changes in air pressure, make sure to remember to equalize your ears.
With the skilled instructors, I was thrown into the sky without a moment's hesitation to jump from the plane. Haha!
During the free fall, I was so focused on breathing that enjoying the scenery was secondary!
Once the parachute opened, the beautiful scenery of Hawaii finally came into view.
The sky is blue.
The ocean is blue.
I was simply moved.
The instructor explained the scenery while we were circling.
I'm glad my first skydiving experience was in Hawaii.
The local operation was a bit disorganized, so I would rate it a -1, but other than that, there were no problems at all.
人生初めてのスカイダイビング！
朝一のプランだったので早朝に集合。現地のツアーということで少し心配だったのですが、移動の車内で日本語のビデオが見られて安心でした。
会場についたら、現地のインストラクターさんが英語で説明をしてくれました。
順番が来たら呼ばれるとのこと。
呼ばれるのを待ちながら、横にある移動販売車で朝ごはん。
マフィンがとてもおいしかったです。
待てど暮せど呼ばれない。
気が付いたらもう5時間くらい待っています。
なんでこんなに時間がかかるのか。
現地の運営が適当で、後から来たお客さんを先に案内していたからです。
そりゃ呼ばれないわ・・・
それはもう国民性ということで、仕方ない、のでしょうか。うーん。
やっと呼ばれたので、気を取り直して。
ハーネスを装着して、いよいよリハーサル。
地上で何度か練習をして、小型飛行機に乗り込みます。
10分程度であっという間に上空4000mへ！
気圧変化に弱い方は、耳抜きするのを忘れないようにしたほうがいいかも
手慣れたインストラクターさんたちの手によって、
飛行機から飛び降りるのを躊躇する間もなく空に放り出されます。笑
フリーフォールの間は、息をするのに必死で、
景色を楽しむのは二の次！
パラシュートが開いてから、やっとハワイの美しい景色が視界に飛び込んできました。
空が青い
海も青い
ただただ、感動です。
インストラクターさんが、旋回しながら景色の説明をしてくれました。
人生初のスカイダイビングがハワイでよかったです。
現地運営の方が適当だったので-1ですが、そこ以外は全く問題ありませんでした。

Even though I changed my plans two days before the event on my own accord, they responded quickly to my questions, and I was able to participate in the activities with peace of mind on the day!
自分の勝手で当日の2日前に変更したのに、質問にも迅速に対応してくださり、当日は安心してアクティビティに参加することができました！

.......only spoilt by the lack of DVD afterwards. Apparently the inflight DVD recording didn't work - totally gutted, as this was an absolute one off for us from Down Under.
This tour was absolutely amazing. Our pilot Chris was fantastic and our entire family enjoyed the experience. I am terrified of heights however I would highly recommend this tour as a must do when visiting Honolulu.
This was by far the highlight of our trip. If you want to really see all of Oahu do it from the air. Our pilot Darren was terrific! I was seriously thinking about booking again for the next day....it’s that much fun.
I ended up being in the first group to board the plane, and I was really nervous. Mark made jokes and held my hand, which helped me relax. The free fall wasn't scary at all, and it was really fun! Since I was one of the first to jump, I was back at the hotel by 11 o'clock and was able to enjoy some shopping afterward.
I do regret a little that it wasn't that expensive, so I wish I had asked for some photos.
まさかの第１陣で飛行機に乗ることになり緊張しまくりでした。
セスナでガチガチの私にマークが冗談を言ったり、手を握ってくれたりして、リラックスする事ができました。
フリーホールは全然こわくなかったし、本当に楽しかったです♪
1番初めに飛んだので、11時にはホテルに戻れてその後のショッピングも楽しめました。
ただそんなに高くなかったので、写真をお願いすればよかったなぁっと少し後悔しました。

The explanation in English is not difficult, and it's enough to understand the hazards and precautions. The helicopter without doors is thrilling and enjoyable.
英語での説明は難しくなく、危険事項、注意事項が理解できれば十分。
ドアなしのヘリは迫力十分、楽しめます。

It was a bit scary, but it felt good. It was a little expensive, but I also requested photos and videos ($230). The angles are hard to capture, so I recommend it. If I have the chance, I think I'll try again.
少し怖さもありましたが、気持ちよかったです。
少し高いですが写真&動画もお願いしました（$230）なかなか撮れないアングルなのでおススメです。
また、機会があれば再チャレンジしようと思います

Diving at 63 years old was amazing, the movie was great, and the instructor really pumped up the energy with big jokes. Seeing Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from 14,000 feet was the best view of Oahu. There is an age limit, so I want to dive again.
63歳のダイビング最高、ムービー最高、インストラクターがビッグジョークでテンションアップしてくれました、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキビーチを14000フィートから見たオアフ島最高です、年齢制限があるのでもう一度ダイビングしたいです。

I signed up for 2100m, but when it came time to jump, it somehow turned into 4200m. (laughs) Of course, I was charged an extra fee, which left me a bit frustrated. However, it was a good experience and I had fun! ^^
2100ｍで申し込みましたが、いざ飛ぶとなぜか4200ｍになってました。（笑）
もちろん追加料金も取られましたし、少しモヤモヤ。
でもいい経験になりましたし、楽しかったです^^
Translated by OpenAI
It was my first experience, and it was incredibly fun!! The 4000 meters were scary, but the instructor was so enjoyable that the fear just disappeared!! I want to do it again next time I go!
初めての体験でしたが、めっちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！！
4000ｍ怖かったですがインストラクターが楽しくて、怖さ吹っ飛びます！！
また行く時はやりたいです！

Jumping from 4000 meters above the clouds was exhilarating! After the parachute opened, the instructor explained the scenery, including Waikiki Beach and the North Shore, making it truly an extraordinary experience. However, towards the end, I got a bit dizzy from the turns, which is unfortunate due to my own constitution.
高度4000m、雲の上からのジャンプは気分爽快でした！パラシュートが開いてからは、インストラクターの方がワイキキビーチやノースショア等、景色の説明してくださり、本当に非日常の最高な時間でした。
ただ、最後の頃、旋回に酔ってしまったのが、自分の体質の問題ですが残念です。。
Translated by OpenAI
I posted photos on Facebook and got an amazing response!
The thrill of free-falling is the best!
When the parachute opened, it felt like I was suspended in mid-air.
I thought I would descend slowly, but instead, I started spinning around. I felt like I had to descend quickly due to time constraints, but I wanted to enjoy a slower descent and take in the view of the ground!
Facebookに写真を載せたら凄い反響！
フリーフォール中の快感、最高！
パラシュートを開いたら空中に停止してるような快感。
そのままゆったり降りるのかと思いきや、グルグル旋回。時間の関係で早く降下しなければならないと思うけど、もう少しゆっくりした降下で下界をなかめたかった！

The team at Pacific Skydiving was absolutely amazing. They were friendly and kept the mood positive and fun. At no point did I feel like my life was in danger! My fiancé and I were first time jumpers and would definitely do it again. Spectacular views and an awesome experience!!
Our pilot Brody was exceptional. His knowledge of the island was amazing and his narrative along with the music made the flight come alive.
We got to see many of the landmarks on the island and amazing views of coast especially Na Pali.
We would do this again in a heartbeat :)
The feeling of tension and excitement alternated, making it an hour that flew by in no time! If I have the chance, I definitely want to try it again!
緊張と興奮の感覚が交互に交錯してあっとゆう間の一時間でした！機会があれば是非もう一度トライしてみたいと思います！

We had our wedding ceremony in Hawaii.
We also visited Hawaii for our honeymoon, and we made wonderful memories by skydiving.
It was my first time skydiving, and I was so excited. It was fun not just to jump, but also to be on the small plane, which added to the thrill compared to a regular large airplane. As for the actual jump...
That's something to enjoy once you're up in the air.
It was a wonderful experience that you can't have in Japan.
私たちはハワイにて挙式をしました。
新婚旅行も兼ねてハワイに訪れたのですが、スカイダビングをしてとても良い思い出ができました。
初のスカイダビングだったのですが、ドッキドキ。
飛ぶだけじゃなく、飛行機に乗ってからも楽しかった。普段の大きな飛行機✈️じゃなくて、小さな飛行機だからこその迫力。実際に飛んでからは、、
それは飛んでからのお楽しみですね。
日本では体験できない素敵な時間でした。

It's taken me several trips to Maui to make it to Hana. Why? The idea of spending all day driving my car on a dangerous road with 54 one-lane bridges and 600+ turns (meaning I couldn't even enjoy the scenery) just didn't appeal. But then someone recommended this tour...Instead of driving yourself on this treacherous road (and trust me, with all the amateurs out there it is treacherous), you ride in a comfortable passenger van with an incredibly knowledgeable and enjoyable guide. Instead of driving 3 hours to Hana and 3 hours back along the same route, you take a helicopter for one of the legs and see breathtaking aerial views of this gorgeous island. The tour is well planned, the meals yummy (even the vegetarian and gluten free options were fantastic), and the people were top notch. My only complaint was waiting almost an hour after check in at the heliport to get going. Otherwise, it was a perfect activity.
Best thing we did in Islands. Great staff. Doors off small helicopter was of course windy, but also awesome.
The price was a bit high when including photos, videos, and tips, so I was hesitant to make a reservation until the last minute. Since it was a special trip to Hawaii, I consulted with my friends and decided to go for the experience. In the end, it was even more fun than I had imagined, and I was swept up in the atmosphere! Thanks to that, I chose a plan that included both photos and videos, which ended up being quite an expense. However, I have no regrets at all; I truly think it was great that I didn't back out just because it was expensive at the time. The instructors were all very kind, and it turned out to be a fun tour. The next time I come to Hawaii, I plan to fly again!
写真や動画、チップを含めると値段が少し高めだったので、ギリギリまで予約をするか迷っていました。せっかくのハワイ旅行なので友達と相談して体験することに。終わってみると、想像以上に楽しくて雰囲気にも飲まれました！おかげで、写真も動画も付いているプランを選択し、かなりの出費をすることになりました。ですが全く後悔はなく、あの時高いからといって辞めずに、体験しておいて本当に良かったと思いました。インストラクターさんも皆優しく、楽しいツアーとなりました。次回ハワイに来たら、また飛ぼうと思います！

It was my first time skydiving. I was a bit nervous at first, but the instructor who jumped with me and the person taking photos were very friendly, which eased my tension and allowed me to jump smoothly! The view during the jump was incredibly beautiful. I think it's a scenery you can only see from the sky, so I'm really glad I experienced it!
初めてのスカイダイビングでした。
最初は少し緊張しましたが一緒に飛んでくれるインストラクターの方や
写真を撮ってくれる人がとても気さくで緊張がほぐれ
すんなりと飛べました！飛んでる最中は景色がとても綺麗でした。
空からでしか見れない景色だと思うので体験して本当に良かったです！

We gathered at 5 AM, so it was very early. The fun atmosphere made the time fly, and before I knew it, it was my turn to jump. The instructors were kind and friendly. The moment of jumping is truly scary! But once you’re in the air, it feels like you’ve become a bird, and it was wonderful! However, it can be bumpy, so I definitely recommend motion sickness medication for those who are prone to it.
I had so much fun that I want to jump again when I come back to Hawaii! If you’re on the fence about it, I absolutely recommend it. It’s a bit pricey, but it’s worth it! 😊
朝は5時集合だったので、とても早かったです。
楽しい雰囲気にやられて、あっという間に飛ぶ出番が来ます。
インストラクターの方も優しくて、フレンドリーです。
飛ぶ瞬間は本当に怖いです！
でも飛んでしまえば、まるで鳥になったようで気持ちよかったです！
ですが、揺れるので酔いに弱い人は必ず酔い止めをお勧めします。
楽しかったのでまたハワイに来たら飛びたいです！
迷われてる方いたら、絶対にオススメなので少しお値段は張りますが、やる価値ありますよ(^ ^)

This helicopter tour was certainly one of the highlights of our trip. Checking in was a breeze. The pilot (Karl I think) was great, really friendly and knowledgable and told us fascinating stories about the land. His mixed tape for the flight was a great accompaniment to the flight. Nothing can quite prepare you for how amazing it is to fly over a volcanoe crater spewing lava, I was truly awe struck and felt like a kid again! It really is the top experience I would recommend on the big island.
Great expirence! Instructors are awesome! definetley would go back again!
It was amazing!! The instructors were friendly, and I had a great time. I finished flying by 9 AM and was able to return to the hotel in the morning, which was nice. I purchased both the video and photos. It's a lifelong memory. If I come to Hawaii again, I will definitely fly again!!!
最高でした！！インストラクターの方達もフレンドリーで凄い楽しめました。9時には飛び終えて午前中にはホテルに帰れたのでよかったです。動画も写真も購入しました。一生の思い出です。次もハワイに来たら絶対飛びます！！！

Jump was a fantastic experience but disappointed with the photo/video taken. Took the GoPro option on the instructors arm. Nowhere near as good as having a second cameraman and too many photos of my back or out of focus on the GoPro. Certainly not worth the $100+ charged! Still, the experience got the blood going and would definitely do again!!
The front seat of the doorless helicopter was by the window.
The endless expanse of lava fields.
The active crater is still erupting.
Since it was daytime, I couldn't see the bright red lava very well, but the long-awaited aerial journey to the ocean entry was amazing!!
ドアなしヘリの前座席 窓際でした
どこまでも続く熔岩の大地

お昼間なので真っ赤な溶岩はあまり見れませんでしたが、念願のオーシャンエントリーまでの空の旅は最高でした！！

It was amazing. Words can't really explain, but it was pure bliss.
The early morning departure was tough, but it was the best skydiving experience! They said we would be falling for a minute, but it felt more like flying. It might depend on the instructor who jumps with you, but everyone was cheerful, fun, and considerate.
早朝の出発はキツかったものの、最高のスカイダイビングでした！ 1分間落ちると言うことでしたが、落ちると言うより飛んでる感じでした。一緒に飛んで下さるインストラクターの方にもよるかも知れませんが、皆さん明るく楽しく気遣いの出来る方達でしたよ。
