I once went skydiving (tandem) in Saitama, but I wanted to try it in the skies of Hawaii, so I signed up with a friend.
The process was straightforward: after arriving, we received a brief explanation and then immediately got on a truck to the airfield, where we boarded the plane right away. Once on board, we could enjoy the Hawaiian scenery from the airplane.
After reaching the altitude, everyone jumps out one after another, so it happens quickly.
Jumping out of the plane is a mix of fear and excitement, but after you jump, it’s over in an instant. It’s a short experience, but it feels amazing. Once the parachute opens, you can enjoy the wonderful views of Hawaii, and I think it lasts about 15 to 20 minutes, but it was a very fun experience.
While there’s not much to do afterward, I felt surprisingly fatigued, possibly due to the tension, so it might be safer to plan lighter activities for the afternoon of the same day.
埼玉でも一度スカイダイビング(タンデム)をしたことがありましたが、ハワイの空でもやってみたいと思って友人と二人で申し込みました。
流れ的には到着後簡単な説明を受けたらすぐにトラックに乗って、飛行場まで行ってすぐに飛行機にのります。乗った後はハワイの景色を飛行機から楽しめます。
上空にたどりついた後はそれぞれみんな飛び降りていくのであっというまです。
飛行機から落ちるときは怖いのと楽しみなの半分ですが、降りたあとはあっという間で短いですが、すごく気持ちいい経験ができます。パラシュートが開いた後はハワイのすばらしい景色も楽しめますし、時間にして15分とか20分ぐらいだと思いますが、とても楽しい経験でした。
何をするというわけではないですが、緊張もあったのか意外と疲労感が強いので、同じ日の午後は軽いアクティビティにしておいたほうが無難かもしれません。

Skydiving was very exciting! The person who jumped with me was kind and reassured me, which made me feel at ease. However, after skydiving, the pickup car was too late, and I had to wait for about two hours, which was a downside and felt like a waste of time.
スカイダイビングはとてもエキサイティングでした!一緒に飛んでくれた人が優しく大丈夫と言ってくれたので安心できました。スカイダイビングが終わってから、迎えの車が来るのが遅すぎて2時間程度待たされたので時間を無駄にしてしまったのがマイナスポイントでした。

I participated in skydiving for the first time in my life, feeling a mix of curiosity and fear.
We departed from the meeting point around 7 AM and arrived at the diving location in about an hour. During the journey, we had to sign the waiver multiple times (essentially stating that we wouldn't sue if something happened).
Upon arriving at the office, we watched a 10-minute video that outlined the rules for skydiving (again, it included content about not suing). There was also an explanation of the entire process leading up to the actual dive.
After the video, we waited for a while, then put on our harnesses and received some direct instructions from the instructor who would be diving with us (covering the process from the dive to landing).
Once it was time to dive, the fear disappeared, and I felt a rush of excitement.
If you have even a slight interest, I highly recommend going for a dive.
I requested video recording, and although I thought the price was high for the highlights from my pre-dive enthusiasm to my post-dive impressions, it was a great keepsake, so I’m glad I bought it.

I planned this trip to Hawaii specifically for skydiving. However, the journey to the North was filled with rain, and I was starting to lose hope. But when we arrived, the weather cleared up beautifully! ❤️
The dive was from way above the clouds, and since I couldn't see the ground and the process moved along like a conveyor belt, I didn't have any time to hesitate, so I didn't feel scared at all. The views of the clouds, sky, and ocean were so beautiful that I almost cried. Plus, thanks to the rain beforehand, we were able to see a rainbow from the sky!!! A perfectly round rainbow ❤️ It felt like I was being sucked into it. I was truly moved ❤️ I'm so glad I went skydiving!
However, the explanation and waiting time after we arrived were quite long. Since our pickup time was early and we hadn't had breakfast, we were really hungry. I recommend either eating beforehand or bringing snacks, as well as something to pass the time, like magazines.
It does take some time, but it was an amazing experience. Hawaii from the sky is the best! ❤️
今回のハワイはこのスカイダイビングのために計画しました。
それなのにノースまでの道のりはずーっと雨が降っていて・・・半分諦め気味だったのですが、着いたら見事に晴れてくれました♡
ダイブは雲のはるか上からで地上が見えないのと、流れ作業のように進むのでためらう時間が全くないのとで怖さを全く感じることなく飛べました。
雲も空も海もすべての景色が綺麗すぎて涙がでそうになりました。しかも、雨のあとだったおかげで空から虹も見ることが出来たんです!!!
まん丸の虹♡
虹に吸い込まれるかのようでした。ホントに感動♡
飛んでよかった~。
ただただ着いてからの説明と待ち時間がまぁ長い・・。
ピックアップの時間が早く朝食をとってなかった私たちは腹ペコでした。
ご飯は食べていくか軽食をもっていく&暇つぶしに雑誌などを持っていくことをお勧めします。
時間はとられるけど、めっちゃいい体験でした。
空からのハワイ最高♡

My husband and I went on the Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour of Kauai. The outift was recommended to me by my boss, who had done it 20 years ago. The flight was amazing! You may think that you can see the island from a plane, but it is not the same. The center of Kauai has no roads, so this is the only way to see the area. The views of Waimea canyon and the Napali coast were awesome. My husband had never been on a helicopter tour before and was a little nervous. He was given the front seat by the door and I sat between him and the pilot. The seating is decided by weight. Well, my husband and I loved it. Everyone aboard did. The pilot (Jason) was great. He was funny and informative. I would highly recommend blue hawaiian helicopter tours.

My husband wanted to go skydiving, so we decided to do it together! I had heard there would be a lot of waiting time, so I thought it would be nice to join him for the experience. It was really scary, but I'm glad I went skydiving!
When I returned to Japan and talked about skydiving, it became a great story to share! Sometimes, the excitement would come rushing back as I was talking about it! The cost might be higher compared to other activities, but it was worth the experience!
As for the waiting time I mentioned earlier, it wasn't as bothersome as I thought! I requested a 9 AM start, and we got back to the hotel around 2 PM! After that, we went shopping again.
I had heard that tipping the instructor who jumps with you is necessary, and if you want photos or videos, you'll need to tip the instructor who takes those as well. Also, the driver who picks you up and drops you off should be tipped too! It's just a difference in customs, so it can't be helped.
When you get there, they sell some drinks, but I thought it would be good to bring a little food and drink with you! Overall, I was very satisfied!
旦那さんがやりたいということで、スカイダイビングをすることになりました!待ち時間も多いと聞いていたので、せっかくならばと一緒にスカイダイビングをすることにしました。
すっごく恐かったのですが、スカイダイビングして良かったです!
日本に帰ってきて、スカイダイビングの話をすると土産話のネタにもなって♪話しているうちに、興奮がよみがえることもしばしばありました!
コストは、他のアクティビティに比べれば高いかもしれませんが、体験した価値のある値段でした!
そして、最初に書いた待ち時間ですが、さほど気になりませんでした!私は9時でお願いしたのですが、ホテルに戻ってきた時間は、
14時位でした!それから、またお買い物に出掛けられました。
一緒にとぶインストラクターの方へのチップは、必要と聞いていたのですが、写真や映像をお願いする場合は、撮影してくれるインストラクターにもチップが必要になります。そして、送り迎えしてくれるドライバーにもチップが必要です!
習慣の違いなので仕方ないですね。
現地に行くと飲み物が少し売っていますが、飲み物や食べ物を少し持参すると良いかなっと思いました!
でも、大満足です!

Compared to what you would do in Japan, it is still relatively inexpensive, but it is quite pricey... When I requested photos, it cost an additional $120 (photos and DVD can be ordered on-site). Since it's a memory, I decided to purchase them and was very satisfied with the content, but it is a bit expensive. Additionally, I paid a $20 tip separately. After having your photos taken, you should also tip the person who took them the same amount. There is a tip box at the reception, so even those who are not used to tipping, like Japanese people, can easily give tips. (It seems that you also need to tip the bus driver who takes you to the location, so please give that separately.) Also, regular travel insurance does not cover accidents or injuries while skydiving. There is no insurance available on-site, so if you want to be covered, you need to arrange it in Japan beforehand. When I considered getting insurance, the premium was nearly 30,000 yen. There is another company for skydiving in Hawaii, but for safety reasons, I recommend Pacific Skydiving. If you look it up online, you'll understand why. Have a wonderful overseas trip and create the best memories!
日本で行うことと比べると格安ではありますが、やっぱり高いですね…
写真をたのむと、別途120ドルかかりました(写真、DVDは現地で申し込み)。
思い出なので購入し、内容には大満足ですがちょっと高いですね。
別途チップを20ドル支払います。写真を撮ってもらったらその人にも同額のチップを払います。受付にチップ用のボックスが置いてあるので、チップに不慣れな日本人でもしっかりチップを支払うことができます。(現地まで連れて行ってくれるバスの運転手さんにもチップは必要なようです。これは別途渡してあげてください)
あと、通常の海外旅行保険ではスカイダイビング中の事故やけがは保障されません。現地で加入可能な保険もありませんので、もし加入されたいのであれば事前に日本での加入が必要になります。加入しようと検討したところ、保険料が3万近くでした。
ハワイでのスカイダイビングはもう一社ありますが、当方は安全面から考えてパシフィックスカイダイビング社をお勧めします。一度ネットで調べていただければその理由が分かると思います。
楽しい海外旅行、最高の思い出を作ってください!!

Most of the foreign instructors are friendly, and there are no complaints at that level.
However, the Japanese staff member, Mr. Nakai, seems to be the type who is not suited for customer service. His remarks are quite overbearing, and he shows no consideration for Japanese people experiencing this for the first time.
By the way, tips are advised to be given to the shuttle driver and the tandem instructor, and if you request photos ($120) or videos ($160), Mr. Nakai instructs that you should pay 15% to 20% for up to three staff members.
The entrance fee may seem cheap, but be careful as the total can add up to a significant amount.
In addition to Pacific Skydiving Center, there is another skydiving shop next door, so it might be worth checking that out as well.
外国人のインストラクターの人はほとんどが気さくで、
不満は無いレベル。
しかし、日本人のスタッフ、「ナカイ」さんは、どう考えても、接客業には向かないタイプの方のようだ。
発言は高圧的で、初体験の日本人に対する気遣いなんてまるで無し。
ちなみにチップは送迎のドライバーとタンデムのインストラクターと写真(120ドル)、ビデオ(160ドル)を頼むならそのスタッフと最大で3人、15%から20%は払うよう「ナカイ」さんより指導されます。
入り口は安く感じるかもしれませんが、合計すると良い金額になるので注意しましょう。
パシフィックスカイダイブセンター以外にも、隣にスカイダイビングのお店はありますので、そちらも調べてもいいかもしれません。

I thought I wouldn't be able to fly due to fear, but since it's a streamlined process, you definitely can! There is a sequence, so you might have to wait a bit before and after flying, but after you jump, everyone is filled with adrenaline and super hyped! I was picked up at the hotel at 7:05 and arrived at the hotel at 12:00. They provide transportation in order of completion, and I was lucky to be one of the earlier ones.
The foreign instructors were very skilled, which was reassuring. They were bright and had great responses. The overall explanation was given by a Japanese person. The minimum tip for the instructor is $20. If you request video or photo shooting, the minimum for the cameraman is also $20. For the transportation staff, they mentioned something like the round-trip fare... I thought it was a bit expensive since the sense of tipping is different from Japan, but I guess that's how it is. Well, I think it depends on how you phrase it. They said, "Tipping is a given!" so... I experienced a different culture. Haha. Since you're entrusting your life to them, I don't mind being generous with the tip.
恐怖で飛べないかと思いきや、流れ作業なので、絶対に飛べます!!順番があるので飛ぶ前後に多少待たされますが、飛んだ後は皆さんアドレナリンが出てすごくハイテンションになっていました!7:05ホテルピックアップで、ホテルへ着いたのが12:00でした。終わった人から順番に送迎してくれます。私は早い方でラッキーでした。

全体的な説明は日本人の方がしてくれました。チップはインストラクターへは最低20ドル。ビデオや写真撮影を頼んだらカメラマンには最低20ドル。送迎スタッフへは往復分の交通費分くらいは…と説明されました。やはり、日本と感覚が違うのでちょっと高いなと思いましたがそんなものなのですね。まぁ、言い方もあると思いますが。「チップは当然!」という言い方でしたので…。異文化を体験できました。笑 それに命を預けているので、チップは奮発しても惜しくないです。

The application date was canceled due to changes in the weather, but the following day the weather was excellent and it felt amazing. It's understandable since it's about an hour from Waikiki, but the waiting time after the activity was a bit too long, which is a minor drawback.

I hoped to be a Japanese pilot, but I ended up participating in an English tour without any mention of that. The scenery was wonderful, and I was moved, but since I was seated next to the pilot (the computer assigns seats based on weight), I kept seeing the pilot yawn, which made me nervous. When I asked, "Are you sleepy?" he replied, "No!" so I took his word for it. The first hour was over Kilauea, and the second hour was over Waipi'o Valley. There was a stop at Hilo Airport for a break. Anyway, I'm glad we arrived safely.

It was so much fun, but the waiting times before and after were really long!!
They mentioned it was due to the airplane, but after a brief explanation, we waited about three hours before finally skydiving!
Even after it was over, we waited nearly two hours, which brought my mood down a bit.
Repeat visitors said they had never waited this long, but for those going during high season, I think it would be good to bring a book or something to pass the time.
Also, this only happened to me, but the instructor failed to land properly, and I injured my arm. It was a minor injury, but I think wearing long sleeves and long pants would be safer.

I participated at my boyfriend's request. As someone with a fear of heights, I reluctantly agreed to join.
After participating, I honestly felt that it wasn't as scary as I expected. The diver who jumped with us mentioned that he jumps about ten times a day, which made me think that the chances of dying from this are almost none.
According to my boyfriend, the actual time spent in freefall is about five minutes. The freefall lasts for about one to two minutes before the parachute opens, and then you glide for about three minutes. During the freefall, I was so focused on breathing and looking at the camera (since I had ordered photos and a DVD) that I was a bit frantic. Once the parachute opened, the view was incredibly beautiful, and I was moved by it. It felt like I was watching a scene from a TV show. After landing, I was really tired (laughs), but my boyfriend said it was so much fun that he wanted to jump again.
Considering the prices for photos and DVDs in Japan and other countries, I think it’s worth ordering them since they are quite cheap. We’ve been enjoying watching them together since returning home. Also, it gets quite cold up there, so I recommend wearing long sleeves.
彼氏の希望で参加しました。高所恐怖症の私はしぶしぶオッケー・・・という気分での参加でした。
参加してからの感想としては、正直、思ったよりは怖くないなぁといったところでしょうか。一緒に飛んでくれるダイバーさんは一日に10回程飛ぶと話していたのでこれで死ぬことはまずないだな、と思いました。
彼氏の話によると、実際飛んでいる時間は5分程度。フリーフォールは落ちて1,2分間でパラシュートが開いてからは3分程です。私はフリーフォールの時は息をするのと、(写真・DVDを頼んでいたので)カメラを見るので必死でした。パラシュートが開いてからは景色がすごくきれいで感動しました。テレビでの映像を見ているみたいでした。降りた後はすごく疲れていました(笑)彼氏は楽しすぎてもう一回飛びたいと言っていました。
日本や他の国ですることを思うと写真やDVDを頼んでも安いので頼んでおいても良いかと思います。帰国してからみんなで見て楽しんでいます。あと、上空はかなり寒いので、長袖で行くことをお勧めします。

It was amazing! I was also grateful that the pilot happened to be Japanese. While flying in the sky, he provided a thorough guide. I ended up sharing the ride with a Canadian family, and we enjoyed the English guide while sharing our excitement together.
One issue I encountered was when I arrived at the hotel and needed to make a call, but the person on the other end only spoke English. Since I hardly understand English, I ended up asking for help from the Japanese desk at the hotel, which resolved the situation.
The price is high, but it is well worth the experience. I recommend this tour for both couples and families.

Marco was our pilot and he was fabulous. My 13 year old was a bit nervous with the doors off and he made her feel right at ease.
The view you get and the knowledge passed down by Marco was great! You cannot truly appreciate the volcano and what it can do unless you see it from above. The big picture and unique view from above is priceless.
We saw lava the day we went and that was a bonus, but even if you cannot see the the lava, it is still a wonderful way to view the landscape and truly see the devastation the lava flow can do.
We have done another helicopter tour in the past on Kauai and it is the best way to see the islands. You can go places a car cannot and that is worth it!
Thank you Marco and the rest of the staff at Paradise Helicopter...you were wonderful and we had a great trip!
