Hawaii
I experienced skydiving for the first time. (As of 2014) Although the yen was strong, it was still much cheaper than in Japan, so for those who want to try it at least once, I highly recommend it. The view of Hawaii from the sky was very beautiful. Falling from the sky without any support was quite a shocking experience.
There is a pick-up and drop-off service, but since it's located in a somewhat inconvenient area, those on a short stay who feel like time is precious might consider renting a car to stop by places like Waikele Outlet on the way back to Waikiki. We were first-time visitors to Hawaii and didn't have a good sense of the area, but we were able to drive there without any problems.
初めてスカイダイビングを経験しました。
(2014年現在)円高ですが、それでも日本国内より大分安い金額で体験できるので、1度してみたいな、という人は是非。空から見るハワイの
景色はとても綺麗でした。
何の支えもなく、ひたすら上空から落ちていく、というのは結構衝撃的な体験でした。
送り迎えはありますが、若干不便な場所にあるため短期滞在の方で時間が勿体無く感じる人は、ワイキキへの帰り道にワイケレアウトレットなど寄れるのでレンタカーで向かっても良いかもしれません。私たちは、初ハワイで土地勘はありませんでしたが、それでも自分達で運転して問題なく到着できました。

I participated at my husband's strong request. According to our guide and driver, it seemed to be a less busy day, and we returned to the hotel around lunchtime.
The instructors were all handsome, which really boosted my excitement from the preparation stage! I was quite nervous, but since it wasn't my timing to hesitate, I quickly jumped out of the plane. I was thrilled by the beautiful island scenery and was shouting at first, but as the parachute opened and we started descending slowly, I began to feel a bit nauseous. They offered to spin us around as a service, but I declined in broken English...
In the latter half, I was just hoping to land on solid ground quickly, without the luxury of enjoying the view, and I headed straight to the restroom after landing.
I regretted not taking motion sickness medication, thinking it would be fine since we were just falling. I think it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to take it.
However, it was such an exhilarating experience that I want to try it again.
Photos and videos were quite expensive, so no one from our group signed up for them. I hesitated because it would have been a nice memento, but looking back, I'm glad my nauseous face wasn't captured!
旦那さんたっての希望で参加しました。
ガイド兼運転手のお父さんの話では、空いている日だったらしくお昼くらいにはホテルに戻っていました。
インストラクターの方たちはイケメンばかりで準備段階からテンションあがります！
かなり緊張していたけれど、自分のタイミングではないので、ためらう暇もなく
あっという間に飛行機から飛び出していました。
素晴らしい島の景色で興奮して最初は叫んでいたけど、
パラシュートが開いてゆっくり降下しだしたぐらいからだんだんと気持ち悪くなってきて
サービスでぐるぐる回ってくれたりするのですが、片言英語で辞退・・・。
後半はとにかく早く陸に降ろしてほしい((+_+))という状態で景色を楽しむ余裕もなく
着陸後トイレへ直行しました。
落ちてくるだけだし大丈夫だろうと酔い止めを飲まなかったことを
かなり後悔したので、
乗り物酔いし易い方は飲んだ方が良いと思います。
でもまた挑戦したいと思えるほど興奮する体験でした。
写真やビデオは結構お高いので、一緒に行ったグループの方たちは誰も申し込んでいませんでした。
記念になるので迷いましたが、今思えば酔ったひどい顔が写らなくてよかったです(^_^;)

What a great experience we had! Very skilled skydivers helped to have the best times ever!
It's not scary at all. The cameraman and instructors who fly with you keep you entertained the whole time. The indescribable feeling of falling at such a high speed was amazing. The view of Hawaii from above is also wonderful. Thank you very much, Patrick and Rogers.
ぜんぜん恐くないです。
一緒に飛んでくれるカメラマンとインストラクターの方々がずっと楽しませてくれます。
すごいスピードで落ちていくなんとも言えない感じが最高でした。
上空からみるハワイの景色も素敵です。
PatrickさんRogersさんどうもありがとうございました。

My first skydiving experience. Without much explanation, we had to sign a lot of forms on the bus ride there (^^;)
On the Cessna, a cheerful instructor scared us a bit in English as we climbed to 4,000 meters, and then everyone jumped one after another.
The moment you jump is truly terrifying, but once you're in the air, there's nothing you can do, so you just go with it. The weather was great, and the view of the ocean from above was indescribable.
After it was over, I felt like I wanted to jump again right away; it was such an amazing experience. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to jump again (^_^)
初めてのスカイダイビング。たいした説明もなしに、行きのバスの
中ではたくさんサインさせられます(^^;)
セスナでは、陽気なインストラクターが英語でビビらしながら？
4000mまで行き、そこからはみんなポンポン飛んでいきます。
飛ぶ瞬間は本当に怖いですが、飛んでしまえば、もーどーするこ
ともできないので、あとはなすがまま。天気が良かったので、空
から見る海は何とも言えませんでした。
終わったら、すぐにもう1回飛びたくなるほど、素晴らしい体験が
できました。ハワイに行ったら、また絶対飛びたいです(^_^)

This was my second time skydiving, and perhaps because I felt more at ease than the first time, I enjoyed it even more. I truly believe that skydiving is the best, and the sensation of falling from the sky is exhilarating. I want to go skydiving again when I visit Hawaii.
今回で2回目のスカイダイビングでしたが、1回目より気持ちの余裕があったせいか、1回目より楽しめました。改めてスカイダビングは最高だと思ったし、空から落下してる時の感覚はたまりません。
またハワイに行った時はスカイダイビングをやりたいです。

We had 7 vacation days to take in as much of Kauai as we could, and we had booked our helicopter ride a month before we took it, but at the moment we were to get on the helicopter, the ride was cancelled due to poor weather. Can't fault them for that, in fact we appreciated that they cared enough for our safety and enjoyment of the ride by cancelling it when they felt compelled to. Fortunately, we were able to re-book 2 days later, and by then we had explored enough of the island to have a good idea what we were looking at once we were up in the air. This made the helicopter trip that much more valuable to us once we got up there. I had two cameras with me on the ride, taking both stills and videos the entire time, and now, a few weeks after the trip and having reviewed their and my photoraphy work, I've come to realize that the video of our trip that we bought from Blue Hawaiian Helicopters was BETTER quality than most of my videos, and I probably should have spent more time enjoying the ride than worrying about getting the shots. So if you go, be sure to buy the DVD or SD card of your ride, and don't be too concerned about taking pictures or videos. Although the ride was expensive, it was well worth the cost because you would never really see Kauai like you do in a helicopter ride, and Blue Hawaiian Helicopters gives a First Class ride!
The view of Hawaii Island from the helicopter was amazing. I was very satisfied to see the lava as well. I got so close to the lava that I could even feel the smell and temperature, which was really exciting. I wasn't expecting much, but Waipi'o Valley and the neighboring valley were wonderful, with breathtaking scenery. The waterfalls were also incredibly beautiful. The helicopter pilot got really close to the lava and waterfalls, allowing us to see many sights I had never seen before. I highly recommend it. I want to experience it again.
ヘリコプターからみるハワイ島は最高でした。溶岩も見れて大満足です。
溶岩近くでは臭いや温度まで感じるくらい近づいてくれてとてもワクワクしました。
そんなに期待してなかった、ワイピオ渓谷やその隣の渓谷がすばらしくて、圧巻の景色でした。
滝もすごく奇麗でした。ヘリのパイロットがすごく溶岩や滝の近くまで接近してくれて、いままで
見た事もない景色が沢山みれました。本当におすすめです。また体験したいです。

I was nervous about my first skydiving experience, but the staff, instructors, and cameraman were all very nice, which made it a great experience.
はじめてのスカイダイビングで不安でしたが、送迎の方、インストラクター、カメラマン皆さんいい人で非常に良かったです。

excellent tour, our luxury van tour giude,Kelly,was excellent. I highly recommend asking for him if doing the tour. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and catered to our needs.The helicopter tour was great. Justin was our pilot and he was excellent. The weather wasn't great so we didn't get to see the volcano. I would do a longer helicopter tour next time, it was amazing.
I was really scared right up until the moment I jumped, but the view from 4,000 meters is exceptional! The instructor and photographer were cheerful and made the few minutes of the dive feel like a week in Hawaii! I absolutely recommend it!
飛ぶ直前迄めちゃ怖かったですが‥4000mからの絶景は格別です❗️インストラクターもカメラマンも陽気で数分のダイブをハワイ7日分楽しましてくれました❗️絶対お薦めです❗️

We both thoroughly enjoyed our helicopter flight. The pilot was very informative and also friendly. We would defiantly recommend your company to our friends and family
Aloha Pauline! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We are so happy you had a great time. Please come back to see us. Mahalo, The Blue Crew!
This was wonderful! Would definitely recommend to all visiting the Big Island, best way to see the whole island.
At first, I was anxious, but after reading the experiences of others, my husband and I thought that if they would take videos and photos, it would be worth it. Although I thought the price was high, I decided to go ahead with the purchase. It seemed that the order of the flights was determined by the combination of those who would take photos and those who wouldn’t, and we quickly got our turn. The explanations and practice were brief, which made me wonder if everything would really be okay for the actual jump. My husband’s instructor seemed to skip the practice altogether.
However, once we got on the Cessna, I was captivated by the beauty of the scenery, and my nerves began to ease. Since there were some clouds, we couldn’t ascend to the planned 4,000 meters and instead went up to 3,700 meters, but I felt it was fair that we received a cash back for that.
My instructor kept encouraging me from behind, saying things like "Beautiful, beautiful!" and "Awesome, awesome!" and called my name multiple times, which helped me relax. When it was time to take off, I was taught that the "banana position" was important, and by following that advice, I didn’t feel scared looking down and was able to let myself fall.
I was so focused on following the instructions to raise my hands and maintain the banana position that I didn’t really know what was happening. Then, the photographer waved at me, and I found myself relaxed enough to give a peace sign. Once the parachute opened, I enjoyed the beautiful scenery below, exclaiming "Beautiful! Awesome!" along the way.
I truly felt like a bird! I savored the scenery gracefully and was amazed at how long I could float in the air.
When we arrived, the photographer was already waiting below, capturing the moment perfectly. I was able to watch the video later of the moment I jumped and the blank moment during free fall, and I could see the scenery I missed at the time. It reminded me of the incredible experience I had! I can share it with my parents and friends, and I really believe it’s worth buying the video! It’s expensive, though.
However, after finishing, we had to wait for two hours for everyone who came on the same bus to finish their jumps. This downtime felt like a waste. Initially, I had signed up for another tour that didn’t have a waiting time, but it didn’t get enough participants to confirm the reservation, so I had to rebook for this tour, which made me feel like time was precious.
Also, the tip was stated to be around 10-15%, but it seemed predetermined to give $20 to the instructor, $20 to the photographer, and $25 to the bus driver. I paid that, but when I added up the video costs, I thought I could have jumped again with that amount, resulting in a significant expense. However, thanks to the video, I can relive that excitement anytime, so I am ultimately satisfied. It was a great experience. Thank you!
初めは、不安でしたが、体験談を読ませて頂き、主人も私もビデオも写真も撮ってくれるなら、価値アリだな～と思い、値段は高いとは思いましたが、購入を希望しました。写真を撮る人と、撮らない人との組み合わせで、飛ぶ便の順番が決まるようで、私たちは、すぐに順番が回ってきて、説明も練習もあっさりと終わり、これで本当に本番は大丈夫なのかと、不安がありました。主人のインストラクターは練習さえなかったようです。
でもセスナに乗ると、景色の美しさに見とれ、緊張がほぐれてきました。雲が少しかかっていたので、予定の4000メートルまで上がる事ができず、3700メートル地点からになったとの事で、その分後でキャッシュバックがありましたので、良心的だな～と感じました。
私のインストラクターの方は、後ろから声を何度もかけてくれ、キレイ、キレイ～、サイコー、サイコー、とか、名前も何度も呼びかけてくれ、リラックスできました。
いざ、飛び立つ時も、海老反りが大切と教えられたので、教え通り海老反りになってたら、下を見る怖さがなく、身を委ねる形で落ちて行きました。
もう、何が何だか、わからないままに、教えられた通り、手を前にあげ海老反りの体制を作る事に必死でした。そしたら、目の前をカメラマンが手を振ってくれ、すぐにピースサインが出来る程の余裕が出てきて、パラシュートが開いてからは、下の景色の美しさを、キレイー、サイコーと一緒にいいながら、楽しみました。
本当に鳥になった気分です！優雅な気持ちでゆっくりと景色を堪能し、こんなに長い時間浮かんでられるのか～と感心するほど、空を飛んでいるという実感を味わえました。
到着場面も先に降りて待ってくれているので、ばっちり撮れてましたし、とにかく、飛び降りる瞬間とフリーフォールの時の頭真っ白の瞬間を、ビデオで後で見る事ができ、その時みれなかった景色もビデオで見れますし、改めて、すごい事をしたんだーと思い出させてくれます！
親や友達にも見てもらえるし、最高の思い出が残るので、ビデオは買う価値ありだと、本当に思います！！高いけど。
でも終わってから、同じバスで来た人皆が飛び終わるのを待つこと２時間。
このロスタイムが勿体ないのですが。
初めはもう一つの待ち時間無しの方のツアーを申し込みしていたのですが、人数が集まらなくて、予約が確定ならず、仕方なくこちらのツアーで申し込みをし直しましたが、やはり、時間が惜しいなと感じました。
それと、チップもこちらの説明で10～15％ほどと書いてありますが、インストラクター２０ドル、カメラマン２０ドル、バスの運転手２５ドルと決まっているかのように書かれてあり、払いましたが、結果ビデオ代やらと合わせたら、もう一回飛べるじゃんと思い、結果的にすごい出費になりましたが、手元にあるビデオのお陰で、あの感動がいつでも蘇らせれるので、結果満足しています。
良い経験ができました。ありがとうございました。

The online reservation process was very smooth, so I was very satisfied. However, on the day of the event, I waited for an hour in front of the hotel at the meeting time. Since I couldn't use my phone overseas, I was really anxious while waiting to see if they would actually come. It turned out that there was a mix-up that caused the delay, but then at the skydiving location, we were further delayed and treated as if we were last in line, which made my friend and me chuckle. When I booked scuba diving with the same company, everything went smoothly, so perhaps I was just unlucky with the skydiving experience, but it was a bit disappointing.
ネットでの予約に関してはすごくスムーズに行っていただけたので、とても満足しています。が、当日待ち合わせ時間にホテルの前で待っていたら1時間待たされました。海外で電話も使えない状態だったので本当に来るのか待っている間はずっと不安でした。手違いで迎えが遅れたのことでしたが、その後スカイダイビングを行う場所でも遅れたためにたらい回し状態にされ更に遅れて来たからとの理由で現場の人にも全て後回しにされ友人と苦笑い。笑 同じ会社でスキューバダイビングを予約した時は全てがスムーズだったので、たまたまスカイダイビングの時は運が悪かったのかもしれませんが少し残念でした。
Thank you for using our services.
However, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the wait, which ultimately led to an unpleasant experience for you.
Considering the future, I have promptly shared your feedback with the operating company.
Thank you for taking the time to comment despite your busy schedule.
We look forward to serving you again.

What an amazing tour, highly recommend. Pilot very knowledgeable, well organized and well worth the money.++++
Skydiving was an experience I had always wanted to try. The incredible views were something I had never experienced before. There was no time to be scared as I jumped out quickly. Once in the air, it was so much fun!! I felt amazing.
My husband, who was reluctant at first, became a different person after landing. He was so excited, saying he wanted to jump again even though he had just done it!
I think it's worth buying the photos and videos as they make great keepsakes. You can enjoy that wonderful experience even after returning home, so I highly recommend it.
For those who want to make the most of their time, participating with a rental car is a good idea. The weather can affect things, so it took quite a while.
The guide was also entertaining, and there's no doubt he will become legendary in many ways. Mr. Mickey's history is impressive!
１度は体験してみたかったスカイダイビング。
体験したことがない素晴らしい景色。
怖がってる暇がないくらいさっと飛び降ります。
飛んでからはとっても楽しい！！最高な気分です。
嫌がっていた主人も
降りてからは別人のように
ハマってしまいました。
飛んだばかりなのにまた飛びたい！！と興奮していました。
写真、ムービーは記念になりますので買ったほうがいいと思います。
あの素敵な体験が帰ってきた後でも楽しめるのでオススメです。
時間を有効に使いたい方は、レンタカーでの参加が良いと思います。
天気が影響しますので、けっこう時間がかかりました。
案内人の方も面白く、色んな意味で伝説になること間違いないです。

The views and scenery were stunning. We had a family of 4 in 2 helicopters but they were not fully prepared for us. Better timing would have made this activity exceptional.
I had an amazing time in the beautiful weather! That feeling is addictive! I definitely want to try it again!
とっても良い天気の中めちゃくちゃ楽しめました！

The transportation and diving were both very enjoyable and provided a wonderful experience. However, I feel that the tips are quite high. While it's not mandatory, we were informed that the standard is to give the instructor $20, the photographer $20, and the driver $5 to $10 before flying. When my wife and I requested only the photographer, the tips alone amounted to about $70. Perhaps it's because we're not accustomed to the tipping culture, but for us as a couple, it's a significant expense.
送迎もダイビングもとても楽しく素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
ただ一つ、チップが非常に高いような気がします。
強制される訳ではないのですが、飛ぶ前にイントラ20ドル、カメラマンに20ドル、送迎の運転手に5〜10ドルとが相場だと説明されます。
2人で妻のみカメラマンをお願いしたらチップだけで約70ドルになってしまいます。
チップ文化に慣れてないからそう思うのか、私達夫婦には非常に痛い出費です。

Was great. Tour was informative and our pilot definitely knew a great deal of the island and of course those little unknown facts!
We boarded with a group of four from Taiwan, making a total of six people. The pilot was a young white man who resembled Tom Cruise, and my wife was delighted. The explanations were in English, but he spoke slowly, making it easy to understand. He casually chatted with the women about where they were from, but he didn't ask us men anything. He made several turns to make it easy to take photos, showing great service spirit. We flew over the Pu'u 'O'o crater and Kalapana, and on the way back, we enjoyed a view of Akaka Falls. I realized that you can only get there by helicopter.
台湾からの４人組家族と私たち２人の計６人で搭乗しました。トム・クルーズ似の白人青年がパイロットで、女房が喜んでいました。説明は英語でしたが、ゆっくりと話してくれ聞き取りやすかったです。女性には何処から来たかなど気さくに話しかけていましたが、私たち男性には何も聞いてくれませんでした。写真が撮りやすいように何度も旋回してくれ、サービス精神満点です。Pu'u'O'o火口とKalapana上空、帰りにアカカ滝を遊覧しました。ヘリでないと行けないのを実感しました。

The weather was bad, and we had to wait for about an hour due to the conditions, but we were able to dive in great weather afterward. It was my first time, and it felt amazing. The instructor was kind and really helped to create a fun atmosphere. You can wear whatever you like, but I wouldn't recommend light clothing since it can be cold. Also, it seems you need to wear athletic shoes, not just sneakers, so be careful about that.
気候が悪くて一回あがり、さがっての1時間ほどの待機がありましたが、晴れていい状態でのダイビングができました。初めてでしたが、とても気持ちよく最高でした。インストラクターの方も優しく盛り上げて
くれました♪服装は自由ですが寒いので軽装はおすすめしないです。あと靴も運動靴でもスニーカーじゃないといけないみたいなので注意です。

The hotel shuttle service was excellent. I was really nervous about skydiving since it was my first time, but I followed the instructor's advice and ended up jumping out of the plane. The view of Hawaii from the small aircraft was beautiful, but the slow time after the parachute opened allowed me to enjoy breathtaking scenery that was truly unforgettable. I followed the instructions to lift my legs and stand up when they tapped my shoulder, and I landed safely. I definitely want to do it again. It became an unforgettable memory in Hawaii.
ホテルへの送迎もしっかりとしていました。スカイダイビングは初めてで本当に大丈夫なのか不安でしたが、インストラクターの方のアドバイス通りにしていたら飛行機から飛び出してました。小型機から見る上空からのハワイも美しかったですが、パラシュートが開いてからのゆっくりとした時間は何物にも変えがたい美しい景色を堪能できて本当に感動的でした。足を上げていてね、スタンドアップって肩叩いたら立ってねと言われた通りにしていたら無事に着陸しました。ぜひ、またやりたいと思いました。ハワイでの忘れられない思い出となりました。

Blue Hawaiian is the best. Flew with them on Oahu too and experience was just as good in Hilo. Having to pay to park at airport sucks. Other than that, it was perfect. Flight is super safe, never felt nervous about it. Jeremy was our pilot and was very friendly and kept us informed everything we saw and questions we had. We took several turns to ensure everyone could see the lava and got in close. It will rain in Hilo often but that's the norm, be prepared for possible rainy or cloudy conditions but they will fly around any rains. They are used to it.
Basically, well worth it, fly the Eco Star is most comfortable, don't let fear of flying be the reason you don't do this. None of the volcano ground tours will get you anywhere close to the action, this is the only way to see the volcano.
Aloha and thank you for your kind feedback, we certainly appreciate the comments. Your description is truly accurate and we are glad that you enjoyed your time with us. We invite you to participate with us again in the future and hopefully, it will be more active down on the coast!!
I participated the day before my return from my stay in Hawaii. It took about an hour to drive to the diving spot on the North Shore, and when it was our turn, our paired instructor skillfully helped us put on our gear.
It seems that 14,000 feet is higher than Mount Fuji, and I was quite nervous as we ascended towards the jump point. However, once I jumped, my mind went completely blank, and at the same time, I was in awe of the view when I opened my eyes. It truly felt like I was a bird. After the parachute opened, we descended slowly, allowing us to fully enjoy the scenery. It was an absolutely amazing experience in my life! I definitely want to do it again when I come back to Hawaii!
ハワイ滞在の帰国日前日の参加でした。ノースショアのダイビングスポットまで約1時間車の中で揺られ自分たちの順番が来るとペアのインストラクターさんが手際よく装具をつけてくれました。
実際14000フィートは富士山よりも高いところらしくて落下するポイントまでどんどんあがっていく間はどきどき緊張していましたがいざ飛んでしまうと頭の中が真っ白になってしまうのと同時に目を開けたときの景色に感嘆してしまいました。まさに鳥になった感覚でした。パラシュートが開いてからはゆっくり下降していきますのでたっぷり景色を楽しめます。人生において本当にすばらしい体験をしました！またハワイにきたらぜひやりたいです！

My sister and I participated together! As soon as we arrived, we watched a DVD, and it felt like we took off into the sky about an hour after our turn came. We quickly ascended to 14,000 feet, and the moment we took off was a bit scary, but once we were flying, it was simply amazing. The scenery was absolutely stunning! The excitement made the fear completely disappear! The instructor was also kind, which made me feel safe to let go. The finished photos and DVD turned out really well, and the DVD was edited with music, making it a treasure. Everyone in the car had to wait until they flew before we could go back, but I think we ended up returning to the hotel around 2 PM. I think it's a good idea to plan to relax that day since the effects of gravity can really tire you out. I was a bit worried because there wasn't much information about valuables, but I was able to leave them at the reception, and there were no problems at all. I definitely want to do this again when I go to Hawaii! It was the best time! Thank you so much!
妹と二人で参加させていただきました！到着してすぐにDVDを鑑賞し、順番がきて着いて1時間ほどで空に飛びたったような気がします。
あっという間に14000フィートの高さまで上昇し、空に飛びたった瞬間は若干恐怖でしたが、飛んでからは気持ちいいの一言です。とにかく景色が最高でした‼︎その感動で恐怖はすっかり飛んでいきました！インストラクターの方も親切で安心して身を任せれました。完成した写真、DVDもとても良く撮れており、DVDは音楽など編集されていて、宝物になりました。車に乗った全員が飛ぶまで帰ることはできませんでしたが、結局ホテルに帰ったのが14時くらいだったと思います。重力？の影響なのか身体にどっと疲れがくるのでその日はまったり過ごす予定でいるのがいいと思います(^_^;)貴重品のことがあまり記載になかったので心配でしたが、受付に預けることができ、全く問題ありませんでした。ハワイに行ったらまたぜひやりたいと思います！最高の時間でした！ありがとうございました（≧∇≦）

I will be forever grateful that a friend talked me out of renting a car and driving the Road to Hana. We are not spring chickens and weren't sure how we would like a helicopter trip to Hana with a road trip back to the cruise port in a 6-passenger luxury van. We knew we didn't want to do a 12-hour bus ride (cruise excursion) but we didn't want to miss Hana.
THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT!
We thoroughly enjoyed the helicopter flight to Hana and were able to see from the air the majesty of the island which would not have been as apparent from the land. Then we had a delicious lunch on the beach (provided by our tour guide, Surfer Sue) and experienced in all it's surface beauty, the road to Hana. There is no way we could have enjoyed this nearly as much had we driven both directions and certainly not at all had I decided to drive it myself. Sue taught me more about Hawaiian native flora and fauna than I would have learned in weeks on my own.
Because we wanted to make so many photo stops on the way back to port, we returned later than expected. Sue was kind enough to call the folks at Blue Hawaii Helicopters and ask them to send some articles we had purchased that morning and left behind at the shop for convenience sake, to us at the cruise port. No worries!
We could not have enjoyed this excursion any better than we did! Above and beyond treatment at every turn. Highly recommend for all ages.
If you're going to Hawaii, I highly recommend making a reservation for skydiving!! It was my sister and I's first time, so we were both excited and nervous...
The day before, the morning pickup time changed, so we found ourselves on the shuttle bus by 6:45 AM!! On the bus, we quietly signed documents (the hardest part was definitely filling out those forms, haha).
Since it was early in the morning, my sister and I fell asleep on the bus. When we woke up, we had arrived. After arriving, we submitted our documents and then just waited until our names were called!
We were the last group from our bus to jump, so we waited for almost two hours before it was our turn!! There were some snacks available for purchase, but the selection wasn't very large, so I think it's better to bring your own food!!
I think it's best to bring things to pass the time, like cards, books, or a pocket Wi-Fi!!
When our names were finally called and we got our name stickers, the instructor helped us put on our gear!! Since we had requested photos and videos, after getting suited up, another instructor took lots of pictures and did interviews with us!
Then, it was time to board the Cessna!! (O_O) It took about five minutes to reach our destination! From there, we just jumped one after another!
At that moment, the excitement was at its peak!! When we jumped out, the view was breathtaking! I couldn't even think about anything else and just kept shouting "Waaahhh!" during the free fall!! Out of nowhere, a cameraman appeared and took photos and videos of us!!
The free fall was over in an instant, but my feeling was, "Ahh, I'm alive!" It was so moving!
Once the parachute opened, we enjoyed the scenery to our heart's content!! The weather was great, and it was truly the best experience!!
After landing, we took our final thoughts on camera, and that was it!!
Afterward, we tipped the instructor (there's a personal box for that) and if asked, we wrote a message in the notebook in front of the box!
For those who requested photos and videos, as soon as you finish jumping, head to the room in front of the front desk, and your footage and photos will be playing there!! Then, you settle the payment and wait for the return bus!!
I fell asleep on the return bus too!! I didn't realize how tired I was, and after getting back to the hotel, we ended up sleeping for three hours!!
Also, since you can't predict the return bus time, I think it's best to have a flexible schedule on the day of skydiving!!
If you're someone who usually gets motion sickness, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication or bringing some with you. During the free fall, the instructor spins you around quite fast to make it fun! (If you're prone to motion sickness, this could be tough.) My sister was a bit anxious and asked the instructor not to spin too much at the beginning! The instructors were really kind, so if you talk to them in advance, they'll accommodate your requests! It's definitely best to voice any concerns you have!!
That said, it was truly a great experience, and even after returning to Japan, I've been laughing while watching the DVD!
I wholeheartedly believe everyone should experience this at least once before they die! It was so much fun!
ハワイ旅行にせっかく行くなら、と予約をしました！！スカイダイビング、姉妹共々初めてだったので、ワクワクドキドキと。。。
前日に朝のピックアップの時間が変更になったりで、朝6:45分には送迎のバスの中に居ました！！バスの中では書類に黙々とサインをし、(何が1番辛いってこの書類を書くのが辛かったです。)笑。
朝が早かったのでバスの中では、姉妹で爆睡でした。起きたら到着していました。到着した後は書類を提出し、そこからは自分の名前が呼ばれるまでただただ待ち続けます！笑
私たちは、同じバスで来た人たちの中でも最後のグループだったので飛ぶまでに2時間弱待ちました！！一応食べ物は売っていますが、種類はあまり多くないので自分で持って行く方が良いと思います！！
待ち時間の間(トランプ、本、ポケットWi-Fi)などを持って行くのがベストだと思います！！
いざ、自分たちの名前が呼ばれ名前のシールを貼ってもらうと担当のインストラクターの方が器具などを付けてくれます！！私たちは写真とビデオと頼んでいたので、器具を付けた後に別のカメラ担当のインストラクターの方がバシャバシャ写真とインタビューなどを撮ってくれます！
そして、いざセスナに！！(O_O)
セスナに乗って5分程で目的地に着きます！！そこからはただただ順番にバンバン落ちていきます！笑。
もうこの時は興奮度MAXです！！
いざ飛び出ると絶景！絶景！絶景！どこを見ても絶景！なんて余裕はなく、ただただ「うぁーーー！」とフリーフォール中はずっと叫んでいました！！笑。どこからともなくカメラマンさんがやってきて、写真や動画を撮ってくれます！！笑。
フリーフォールは本当にあっという間ですが、私の感想は「ああー生きてる〜〜」という感動でした♡♡！
パラシュートが開いてからは、景色を思う存分楽しみました！！お天気も良く本当に最高でした！！(^ ^)
陸に着いて、最後の感想をカメラマンさんに撮ってもらって終わりです！！
終わってからはインストラクターさんへチップを(個人の箱がある)を入れ、メッセージを書いて！とお願いされた場合は箱の前にあるノートにメッセージを書きます！
写真やビデオと頼んだ方は、飛び終わったらすぐにフロントの前の部屋に行くと、自分の映像や写真が流れています！！後はお会計をして、帰りのバスが出るまで待ちます！！
帰りのバスも爆睡でした！！思った以上に体が疲れていたのかホテルにかえってから私たちは3時間も爆睡してしまいました！！笑。
また帰りのバスの時間も読めないので、スカイダイビングの日はスケジュールに余裕を持った方が良いと思います！！
それから元々三半規管に自信がない方は酔い止めを飲んで行くか、持って行った方が絶対に良いと思います。フリーフォールの時に、インストラクターの方が楽しませてくれようとかなりの速さでぐるぐる回されます！(普段から乗り物などに酔ってしまう方はこれかなりキツイと思います)妹の方は不安だったようで、最初にインストラクターの方に、ぐるぐるはあまりしないで下さい！とお願いしていました！すごく優しいインストラクターの方々なので、事前に話をしておくと配慮してくれますよ！！不安なことは必ず言った方が良いです！！
それにしても本当に良い経験で、日本に帰ってからもDVDを見てゲラゲラ笑っています！＼(^o^)／笑。
死ぬ前に一度は経験した方が良い！と心から思います！！(^ ^)(^ ^)とっても楽しかったです♪

We flew together on our honeymoon.
On the first day, we couldn't fly due to bad weather and had to return, but on the second day, we were able to fly first.
The instructor, a cheerful young man, was very lively and spun us around, which made us a bit dizzy. I recommend having a light breakfast and then enjoying a snack from the lunch wagon afterward.
Above all, the driver and attendant, Masa (76 years old), was a highlight. Please sit in the front and listen to his silly stories.
Depending on the weather and the order of flights, there may be cases where you need to reschedule for the next day, so I think it's good to plan accordingly.
Hawaii is affordable for flying, so I plan to fly again when I come back. A short-sleeve shirt and shorts are perfect for comfort!
ハネムーンで、夫婦でとびました。
一日目は悪天候で飛べず帰ってきましたが、二日目は一番に飛ばせてもらえました。
インストラクターのおにいさんはとても陽気でのりのりで、ぐるんぐるんまわしてくれるので酔います。朝ごはんはほどほどに、終わってランチワゴンで、おやつがいいと思います。
なんといっても、ドライバー兼アテンダントのまささん(76才)は、ツボでした。
ぜひ、前の方に座ってしょうもないはなしをきいてあげてください。
天気や飛ぶ順番によって、翌日にリスケジュール担ってしまう場合もあるのでそれも加味して予定をくむといいと思います。
ハワイは、安く飛べるのでまた来たときには飛ぼうと思います。
半袖短パンはでよいので楽チンです！
