The sensation of falling from 4,300 meters at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour was an invaluable experience that cannot be replaced by anything else. The views of Oahu were absolutely stunning, and I definitely want to do it again!
At the skydiving center, there were many instructors who seemed very experienced, jumping one after another, which made me feel at ease to take on the challenge.
I will definitely do it again! It was amazing!
4300メートルから時速200キロで落下する感覚は何にも変えがたい貴重な体験でした。オアフの景色がまた最高で、絶対もう一度やりたいと思います!
スカイダイビング場?にはたくさんのインストラクターが手慣れた感じで次々と飛んでいるので、その雰囲気に安心してチャレンジすることができました。
必ずまたやります!
最高です!

I tried skydiving for the first time on my first trip to Hawaii! I joined this tour because I always wanted to try it at least once in my life. To be honest, the moment I jumped was a little scary, but the instructor jumps for you, so there's no need to worry! Once you jump, an experience like no other awaits you in the air!

My husband was the one who actually went skydiving, and I attended as a spectator. We were picked up on time and arrived at the site in just over an hour. During the bus ride, we watched a Japanese DVD about the skydiving waiver. After arriving, we received explanations about camera shooting and checked off the items we wanted. All of this explanation was in English. I was glad that my husband, who cannot speak any English, didn't have to go alone.
Then it was his turn, and he received a brief explanation in Japanese before taking off in a Cessna. About 10 to 15 minutes later, we saw the parachute in the sky as he descended. According to my husband, it was over in a flash, but he had a great time and wants to do it again! At first, it was hard to breathe, but by the time he got used to it, the parachute had opened.
He had the camera take pictures and videos, which we bought for $200. It was an expensive purchase, but it became a nice keepsake.
スカイダイビングを実際にしたのは旦那で、私は見学者として行きました。時間通りにピックアップしてもらい、一時間ちょっとで現場に到着。バスの中ではスカイダイビングの免責等の日本語DVDを見ました。到着後、カメラ撮影等の説明を受け、希望の品にチェックを入れました。このときの説明はすべて英語でした。旦那が英語が全く話せないので、一人で行かせなくてよかったと思いました。その後、順番がきて、ちょっとした日本語の説明をしてもらい、セスナで飛び立って行き、その後10分〜15分後くらいに空にパラシュートが見えて、降りてきました。
旦那が言うには、あっという間だったけどすごい楽しかった、またやりたい!!と。
最初は息が吸いづらいけど、慣れて来た頃にはパラシュートが開いていたそうです。
カメラ撮影してもらった、画像と映像を200ドルで買い、高い買い物でしたが、記念になりました。

We flew to Honolulu and then spent 6 days on a cruise to Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai. The highlight of our trip was the Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour. The Eco-Star helicopter is one of the best helicopters available. It is relatively quiet, very comfortable, and the view from any seat is fantastic. Our pilot had flown helicopters for more than 20 years, was an excellent guide, and you could tell that he loved his work - if you can call it that. Kauai is so diverse, from the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific", to the fantastic waterfalls including the "Jurassic Park" waterfall, the spectacular Napoli coast with its towering cathedral cliffs, and the beautiful beaches. It is the best way to experience all that the "Garden Island" has to offer in an hour. Then, you can decide what you want to visit from ground level. Blue Hawaiian also offers a video of your flight showing both the passengers and the phenomenal scenery, so that you can relive the experience over and over again.

We participated as a family of four at my son's request. Although the morning meeting was early, we arrived quickly and were back at the hotel by 10 AM after the flight took off right away. Based on experiences I had read, I thought we would return around 1 PM, so we were able to make good use of our time after getting back.
There are various types of guides who fly with you. Some are very cheerful, some provide detailed explanations, and others casually guide while fiddling with their phones... Well, I guess there are all kinds of people in Japan too?
I purchased videos and photos, and I requested the type of camera that the guide flying with us had. I regret not choosing a different guide who could take photos from a distance, as that would have resulted in more dynamic videos. Since the price wasn't much different, I recommend requesting a different guide if you can!

朝集合が早かったのですが、到着も早く、直ぐに飛行機が飛び出して10時にはホテルに戻ってくることが出来ました。

You will take a shuttle from Blue Hawaiian Helicopters and arrive at the office in about 10 minutes. Upon entering the office, you will check in, but it seems there are no staff members who speak Japanese. You will leave your bag and hat there. After completing the check-in process, you will watch a flight safety video, and then it's finally time to board the helicopter.
The tour departs from Waikoloa and covers Mauna Loa, Kilauea, and Waipi'o. The aircraft is called ECO-STAR, which seats two people in the front and four in the back. We sat in the two seats on the right in the back.
As we ascend, you can clearly see the flow of lava. The Waikoloa side is barren, either covered in lava or grassland.
During the flight, you will wear headphones to hear the pilot's voice. The crew speaks into a microphone, and everyone can hear them. Other passengers are conversing in English; while I can generally understand what they are saying, my English skills aren't strong enough to actively participate in the conversation, so I mostly remained quiet.
The helicopter heads towards Mauna Loa. If there were no clouds, we might have been able to see the summit of Mauna Kea, but it was obscured by clouds. The slopes of Mauna Loa are gentle, and you can see the different colors of the ground following the flow of lava. As we flew over Mauna Loa, the greenery gradually increased. After flying past Mauna Loa for a while, we saw smoke rising through the clouds. As we descended closer to the crater, we could see red lava coming from it. This is a view that can only be seen from the helicopter, and it is truly breathtaking. The pilot circles around the crater, changing direction so that both sides can see, allowing us to take plenty of photos and videos.
After that, the helicopter heads to another location. Here, white smoke or steam is billowing from the ground, and as we get closer, we can see some red lava within it. I think the lava appeared closer here than at the Kilauea crater. This is a place that cannot be seen except from the helicopter.
Next, we pass over the town of Hilo, and shortly after, we see Waipi'o Valley. The helicopter briefly flies past Waipi'o Valley and along the coastline. The coastline features steep cliffs with several waterfalls cascading down. After viewing these waterfalls, the helicopter makes a U-turn and heads back to Waipi'o Valley. As we enter the valley, we can see a large waterfall in the distance. Continuing further into the valley, we discover several waterfalls on the mountainside. I never imagined there would be so many waterfalls until we entered the valley. The helicopter flies along the mountainside, circling and maneuvering. The turns here are quite thrilling, combining turns with altitude changes, creating a bit of an attraction-like experience. This is arguably the highlight of the flight.
After exiting Waipi'o Valley, we ascend and head to the other side of the mountain. The lush green scenery of the valley suddenly gives way to a dry landscape with no trees. I was surprised at how distinctly the climate changed in such a short distance.
After that, we head south along the coastline of the Kohala Coast. After a while, we can see the helicopter pad where we started. This aerial journey comes to an end here.
Although it was a bit pricey, this experience is something you can't do anywhere else, and the satisfaction level is incredibly high. If given the chance, I would love to do it again, and I think it would be a shame not to see this scenery after coming all the way to the Big Island. If the pilot had been Japanese, I might have understood more details, but even without understanding English, I think just seeing the scenery is enough to grasp the experience. I highly recommend it to everyone.
ブルー・ハワイアン・ヘリコプターの送迎車に乗り、10分程度でオフィスに到着します。
オフィスに入って受付をしますが、日本語の話せるスタッフはいない模様。バッグと帽子を預けます。
チェックインを済ませて、フライトの説明ビデオを見て、いよいよヘリに乗り込みます。
ツアーはワイコロアを出発しマウナロア、キラウエア、ワイピオを回るものです。
機体はECO-STARと呼ばれるもので、前に2人、後ろに4人座れます。私たち2人は後ろの右2席へ座りました。
上昇するにつれて、溶岩が流れた様子がよく分かります。ワイコロア側は溶岩か牧草地で何もないです。
飛行中はヘッドフォンをしていて、パイロットの声が聞こえるようになっています。乗員はマイクで喋るとその声がみんなに聞こえます。他の乗客は英語で普通に喋っていますが、こちらは相手の言っていることはだいたいわかりますが積極的に会話に加われるほどの英語力はないため、ほとんどしゃべることはありませんでした。
ヘリはマウナロアに向けて進行していきます。雲が無ければマウナケアの山頂も見えたかもしれませんが、そちら方向は雲に隠れて見えません。
マウナロアの山は緩やかな傾斜で、溶岩の流れに従って地面の色が分かれているのがよく分かります。
マウナロアの山を越えるに従って、少しずつ緑も増えていきます。
マウナロアを過ぎて暫く飛ぶと、雲の間から煙が見えたきました。高度を下げて火口に近付くと火口から赤い溶岩が見えます。
まさにヘリからしか見えない景色、感動の景色です。
両側の席のそれぞれが見えるようにパイロットは旋回する向きを変えながら火口の上を旋回してくれます。おかげてたっぷり写真とビデオを撮ることができました。
ヘリはそのあと、別の場所へ向かいます。そこでは地面からいくつもの煙とも水蒸気とも入れない白いものが吹き出ており、近ずくとその中に赤い溶岩が幾つか見えます。キラウエアの火口よりも溶岩が近くに見えたと思います。この場所はヘリ以外では絶対見えない場所です。
その後、ヒロの街を通り過ぎ、暫くするとワイピオ渓谷が見えてきます。
ヘリは一旦ワイピオ渓谷を過ぎて海岸に沿って進みます。海岸線は絶壁になっていて、幾つもの滝が流れ落ちています。それらの滝を見たあとヘリはUターンしてワイピオ渓谷へ引き返します。渓谷の中へ進むと奥に大きな滝が見えます。その滝からさらに奥へ進むと山肌に幾つもの滝が現れます。これほど多くの滝があるとは渓谷に入るまでは想像できませんでした。ヘリは山肌に沿って飛行したり、旋回したりしながら進んで行きます。ここでの旋回はかなりスリリングで旋回と上下が組み合わさり、ちょっとしたアトラクション気分です。この飛行の最大の見せ場と言えます。
その後、ワイピオ渓谷を抜け上昇して山の反対側へ行きます。今まで緑一杯だった渓谷の風景から一気に木がなくなり、乾燥した大地が現れます。これだけ、ちょっとの間にはっきりと気候が分かれるのにびっくりしました。
その後は、コハラコーストの海岸線を見ながら南下していきます。暫くすると、出発したヘリポートも見えてきました。この空の旅もここで終わりです。
ちょっと値段は高かったですが、この体験は他ではできないものですし、満足感はすごく高いです。
機会があれば、また乗ってみたいとも思いますし、せっかくハワイ島まで来てこの景色を見ないのはもったいないと思います。
パイロットが日本人ならもっと詳しく理解できたでしょうが、英語が分からなくても景色を見るだけで十分理解できると思います。
みなさんに、おすすめできます。

During our family trip to Hawaii, my four siblings and I went skydiving. At first, I was honestly scared, but since all my siblings wanted to do it, I thought, "Since we're here, let's muster up some courage and give it a try." Floating above the clouds and feeling like I was flying in the sky was incredibly pleasant! The view of Oahu from above was truly beautiful.
When we got into the Cessna and started climbing, I thought, "Are we really going to jump from here...?" But once we reached 14,000 feet and the door opened, there was no time to prepare mentally as the instructor pushed me forward (laughs), and I was quickly thrown into the air. Before I knew it, I was at the same altitude as the clouds, but the time spent soaring through the sky while feeling the wind was amazing. After the parachute opened, I had the chance to enjoy the scenery leisurely and even managed to have a little conversation in my broken English with the handsome instructor, but I really enjoyed the feeling of free-fall more^^
Last year, I did bungee jumping and found it really scary, so I think it was great that my siblings were there to encourage me. While we were ascending in the Cessna, my siblings seemed excited and happy, which eased my fear a bit.
*My siblings love bungee jumping and seemed to handle skydiving with ease, but they ended up feeling dizzy after doing flips and spins. They seemed to think bungee jumping was more fun. The attitude before jumping might be important too.
During the briefing when we arrived, we were told we could choose to have photos taken either by the instructor's handheld camera or by a cameraman who would jump with us. However, since we had to purchase the photos if they were taken, we decided not to buy them. But since the handsome instructor was very considerate and made it fun, I wish I had bought the photos! It would have been nice to meet the person I was jumping with beforehand. My sister had a rather unfriendly instructor.
If I get the chance, I’d love to go skydiving again! For those who are hesitant, I definitely recommend giving it a try!
家族でのハワイ旅行で、兄弟姉妹4人でスカイダイビングしました。
最初は正直怖くて、他の兄弟妹がみんなやりたいと言っていたので、「せっかくだし、勇気を出して頑張ろう」的な気持ちだったのですが、雲の上からふわふわ浮いて、空中を飛んでる感じ、すごく気持ちよかったです!空から見るオアフ島の景色も本当に綺麗でした。
セスナに乗ってからぐんぐん上昇して飛行機から見るような景色になったときに「本当にここから飛ぶの・・・?」と思いましたが、14000フィートに達してから扉が開いてからは、心の準備もする余裕もないままインストラクターにぐんぐん前に進まされて(笑)、すぐに空中へ放り出されました。
気づいたら、雲のはるか上空にいたはずだったのに、雲と同じ高度になっていましたが、風を受けながら大空に羽ばたいていた時間がすごく気持ちよかったです。
パラシュートが開いてからものんびり景色を楽しんだり、拙い英語でインストラクターのイケメンお兄さんと少し会話する余裕がありましたが、フリーフォールの風を受ける感じの方が気持ちよかったなぁ^^
去年バンジージャンプをやってすごく怖かったので、兄弟妹が一緒にいて励ましてくれたのが良かったと思います。
セスナで上昇している間も兄弟妹は興奮して楽しそうで、それも恐怖心がちょっと和らいだかも。
※兄弟妹はバンジージャンプが好きで、スカイダイビングも余裕みたいな顔していたら、縦回転・横回転ぐるぐるされたようで、終了後グロッキーになってました。兄弟妹はバンジージャンプの方が楽しいと思ったようです。飛ぶ前の態度も重要かも。
現地に着いた際の説明で、写真はインストラクターのハンディーカメラか、カメラマンも一緒に飛んで撮影してくれるか選ぶことができるとのことだったのですが、撮影したら絶対に購入する必要があったため、購入しませんでした。
でも、イケメンインストラクターでいろいろ気遣ってくれて楽しかったので、写真買えば良かったなぁ!
事前に誰と飛ぶか一度会えれば、良かったなぁ。
妹は結構、無愛想なインストラクターでした。
機会があればまたスカイダイビングしたいな〜!
迷ってる方には、ぜひ一度やってみることをおすすめしますっ!

I had an amazing time! At first, I was wearing a hoodie, but I was told it could cause a headache, so I switched to a short-sleeved shirt and shorts for diving. I felt a bit cold on the plane for a moment, but it didn't bother me during the flight.
What surprised me was that while descending with the parachute, I felt nauseous because we were falling slowly from the sky. It's important to be in good health! I thought I could have skipped breakfast.
I gave the instructor a $20 tip, and this time I didn't opt for the photos and videos. (The instructor hands you a small bag for tips, but some instructors write down the prices.)
On the way back, we were on the same tour bus, but some people had to wait 2-3 hours to fly, so we all had to wait for everyone to finish before the bus could leave. I wish everyone could have flown at the same time if they were on the same tour.
However, it was a really great experience!
最高にたのしかったです!
服装は最初パーカーを羽織っていたのですが、頭痛の原因になると言われ半袖短パンでダイビングしました。飛行機で一瞬寒いなと思いましたが飛んでる最中は気にならなかったです。
意外だったのはパラシュートで降りてる最中、ゆっくり空から落ちるので気持ち悪く吐きそうになってしまったこと。
体調万全が一番!朝ごはん食べなくても良かったなと思いました。
チップはインストラクターさんに20ドル渡し、今回は写真ビデオはやらなかったです。(インストラクターさんがチップを入れる小袋を渡してくれますが、インストラクターさんの中には値段を書いてる人もいます。)
帰りのバスも同じツアーに参加しているのですが2〜3時間待って飛んだ人もいて全員終わるまでバスを待つ必要があったため、同じツアー客ならみんな一緒の時間に飛べたらなと思いました。

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!

Since it was my first helicopter ride, I chose a slightly luxurious OP tour. The stability was more impressive than I expected. After an exciting takeoff, we headed towards the Kilauea volcano. However, we spent a long time just flying over black lava flows, and I was disappointed to see only a little orange magma from the crater. In the second half, as we headed towards Waipi'o Valley, the scenery changed dramatically, revealing beautiful coastlines reminiscent of a Jurassic Park movie, which made me very satisfied. In Waipi'o Valley, the pilot made wonderful turns, allowing us to enjoy a fantastic time. I couldn't understand what was being said in the English commentary, but I wish they had played a Japanese audio guide as well. Since it was quite a long flight, I think I would have been very satisfied if they had shortened the flight over Kilauea volcano to about a third and offered it at a lower price. According to the hotel staff, the pilots here are all former members of the Army helicopter unit and are exceptional pilots.
初めてのヘリコプターといううことで、ちょっと贅沢なOPツアーを選択しました。思っていたより素晴らしい安定感です。興奮気味での離陸後、キラウエア火山遊覧に向かいます。ところが延々と真っ黒な溶岩流の後ばかり、火口から見えたオレンジ色のマグマはほんの少しでがっかりな時間が続きます。後半はワイピオ渓谷へ向かうと景色は一変、きれいな海岸沿いにジュラシックパークの映画のような風景が現れ大満足です。ワイピオ渓谷ではパイロットが左右に旋回しながら素晴らしい時間を過ごさせていただきました。英語の案内で何を言っているのかわからなかったけど、、、日本語の案内テープでも流してくれればよかったかな。結構、長い時間のフライトなので、キラウエア火山での飛行を3分の1くらいに短縮して、もっとお安くしてくれれば大満足だったと思います。ホテルの人の話ではここのパイロットは陸軍のヘリコプター部隊のOBで抜群の操縦技術者ばかりというう事でした。

It was so much fun, and I felt amazing. I thought I might get scared during takeoff, but the instructors were so cheerful that it felt like no time at all before we were diving. When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to sign up for this. I want to do it again and again!
とにかく楽しくて、最高の気分でした。
離陸した際に恐くなるかと思いましたが、インストラクターの方々がとにかく明るくて、ダイビングまであっと言う間でした。
またハワイに行ったら、ぜひ申し込みたいと思います。何度でもやりたいです!

When I was signing the consent form that was several pages long, I thought it felt like I was going to my death... but I made it back safely‼︎ As soon as I jumped out of the plane, I was instantly immersed in a breathtaking world, and there was no fear at all.
何ページもある承諾書にサインしている時、死にに行くみたいだな…とか思っていましたが、無事に生還しました‼︎
ポンと飛行機から飛び出たらあっという間に絶景の世界に浸り恐怖なんてありませんでした。

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.
会社の同僚4人で参加してきました。
曇り空だったので、晴れ間を待って飛ぶ必要と、結構な人数のお客さんが来ていたので3-4時間待っての飛びでした。
それもあってか、飛んだ後の疲れはハンパなかったです。
ただ、体験としては一生に一度は経験した方が良いと思います。

I'm glad I bought the movie and photos! I thought I might not need them, but they will be great memories. However, they are a bit expensive...

At first, I was nervous and unsure of what to do, but if you're going to hesitate, you should definitely just go for it! However, if you don't equalize your ears, it can really hurt, so if you do it right, it feels amazing!
はじめはビビってどうしようか迷ったけど、迷うんやったらこれは飛んでおくべき‼︎でも、耳抜きをしなかったらめちゃ耳が痛いから上手いことしたら本当にキモチいー‼︎

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。

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。
