Unfortunately, 残念ながら

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in early December 2011. Unfortunately, I had joined a tour to see the lava in 2009, but due to the wind direction of the gas, I couldn't see the ocean entry. I thought about getting a revenge tour, but I was informed that there wasn't much volcanic activity and the ocean entry couldn't be seen, so I decided to join the helicopter tour to see it from above. This time, there was a bit of light rain, and I could only see the moving lava with the naked eye to a limited extent. I was able to see trees being consumed by the lava and flames rising, as well as lava flowing down the cliffs like a thin waterfall. I plan to get revenge during a time of more active activity. However, it was enjoyable to see the town of Kalapana, which had been swallowed by lava in the past, with houses starting to be built again, and the beautifully planted macadamia nut farms. It seems that the seating is determined by weight at check-in, and luckily, I was seated next to the pilot. On the way back to the airport, everyone enjoyed chatting, but I regretted not studying English conversation more. There were participants from various countries.

2011.12月初旬に参加しました。
あいにく2009に溶岩を見に行くツアーに参加しましたが、溶岩のオーシャンエンターがガスの風向きで見れず、リベンジをと思いましたが、火山活動があまりなくオーシャンエンターは見れないとのことで、ヘリで上から見てみたいと参加しました。今回も小雨混じりで動いている溶岩は肉眼で少し確認できた程度でした。生えている木が溶岩に呑まれて炎が上がっている様子や、細い滝のようにがけを流れている溶岩が見れました。 また活発な活動の際にリベンジです。 しかし上空から昔溶岩に飲み込まれた町カラパナにまた家がぽつぽつ建ちだしている様子や、壮大にきれいに植えられているマカダミアナッツ農場を見れたりと楽しかったです。受付時の体重で席は決められるようで、ラッキーなことにパイロットの並び席でした。空港に戻る際にはみんなで会話を楽しむかんじでしたが、もっと英会話べんきょうしとくべきだったといつもの後悔でした。いろんな国の方が参加されていました。

絶景スカイダイビング 一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>

Definitely worth a visit! 一度は是非!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I've always wanted to experience this at least once! Even though I'm over 50 years old... This time, the opportunity came, and I took on the challenge. I'm truly overwhelmed with emotion!

Here's my experience. First, when I arrived at the center, I had to sign multiple "waivers." The content stated, "There will be no compensation for any accidents." In short, it's all on you, no matter what happens. It took some courage to sign this.

Finally, it was my turn to board the Cessna. The experienced instructor helped ease my nerves. The Cessna took off and climbed higher and higher. We were truly above the clouds.

Once we reached the altitude for the drop, the atmosphere in the cabin became tense. I tightened my harness and waited for "that moment." The cabin door opened, and it was finally time to drop!!!

When it was my turn, looking down, I saw the clouds below... Here we go! Falling!!! It's an experience that words can't express. Without a doubt, I was flying through the air.

As the large parachute opened, the speed dropped suddenly, allowing me to take in the view below. The endless blue sea spread out beneath me. It was also breathtaking!

When I safely returned, I felt a great sense of accomplishment. For those who are hesitant, I highly recommend it!

Lastly, I recommend getting the photos and DVD. They are a bit pricey, but they are definitely worth it. When you sign up at the center, each person gets their own dedicated cameraman.

That's my experience!

前から、一度は!経験したいと思っていました。年も50才を過ぎているのですが。。。
そのチャンスが今回来て、初挑戦しました。もう感激の一言です!

私の体験記です。
?まず、センターに着くと、「誓約書」に何枚もサインします。「いかなる事故も一切損害賠償はありません。」と言った内容です。 要は何があっても自己責任です。これにサインするのも根性が必要でした。

?いよいよ順番が回って来てセスナに乗り込みます。でも慣れているインストラクターが緊張を解してくれました。セスナは離陸し、どんどん高度を上げます。本当に雲の上でした。

?落下する高度に達すると機内が一気に緊張感に包まれます。命綱をしっかり締めて ”その時”を待ちます。
機内のスライドが明きいよいよ落下です!!!

?ついに私の番になり、下を見ると雲の上です。。いざ!
 落下!!!
 もう言葉に表せない経験です。間違いなく生身で空を飛んでいます。

?途中、大きなパラシュートが開くと、一気にスピードが落ちる代わりに、眼下の景色を見る余裕が生まれます。
果てしなく青い海が眼下に広がります。これも感動!です。

無事に生還!?した時には大きな達成感もあります。
迷っている方!是非ともお薦めですよ。

最後に、写真とDVDはお薦めです。少し金額は高いのですがその価値は十分あります。センターで申し込むと一人一人に専用のカメラマンが付いてくれます。

以上が私の体験記です。

I had the opportunity to experience skydiving with my wife during our trip to Hawaii, which is something we wouldn't normally do. After about an hour's bus ride from our hotel in Waikiki, we arrived at the center next to the airport.

We were shown a video with poorly spoken Japanese and had to sign a waiver. The waiver was even harder to understand than the video. I understand it was a direct translation, but it was stressful to read and made me a bit anxious.

There was a weight requirement, and since I had been indulging a lot in the past few days, I went to the reception to get weighed. However, none of the staff spoke Japanese. I was surprised that they couldn't understand me, so I had to explain in broken English and was taken to the scale. The scale displayed pounds, which I had never seen before. I was then charged an additional $20 to accommodate my weight, which made me resolve to lose some weight.

After waiting for an hour, I was finally called, fitted with the gear, and received a brief training before boarding the plane. The foreign instructor looked intimidating but kept repeating "exciting" in Japanese, which helped ease the tension.

Before I knew it, we reached an altitude of 14,000 feet. Everyone jumped out one after another, and before I could gather my courage, I was in the air! The wind was intense, but it felt like I was floating rather than falling. Since the ground wasn't getting closer, I couldn't really tell what was happening.

We fell for quite a while before the parachute opened. It felt like it happened so quickly that I finally had time to look around and take in the view. The gear was a bit uncomfortable, but I felt exhilarated. I appreciated the instructor's enthusiasm as he swung us around until we landed.

It was quite a hot day, but it gets pretty cold during the dive, so I recommend wearing long sleeves. It was even chilly during the fall. Finally, I dropped a $20 tip into the box before heading back to Honolulu.

In the end, I spent a decent amount of money, but I think it was much cheaper than doing it in Japan. If you're going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend giving it a try!

スカイダイビングを体験するというか、しようと思う機会はなかなかないので、ハワイ旅行をきっかけに妻と二人で体験してみました。
ワイキキのホテルよりバスで約1時間で、空港隣のセンターに到着。
お世辞にも上手いとは言えない日本語もどきのビデオを見せられ、誓約書にサイン。誓約書はビデオ以上に解読不能。直訳なので仕方ないとは思いますが、読みながらストレスがたまり、ちょっと不安に。
体重の記載があったが、ここ数日の暴飲暴食が気になっていたので、計測しようと受付に行き、日本語で話しかける。
スタッフは誰一人、日本語話せない。えっ?日本語通じないのか?仕方ないので片言の英語で説明し、体重計に連れて行かれる。体重計はポンド表示らしく、見たことない値に。
さらにふくよかな体重を支えるために20$の追加料金を請求される。このとき減量を決意。

そこから待つこと1時間。やっとこ呼ばれて器具を付けられ2~3の講習を受けたのちに飛行機に搭乗。外人インストラクターは見かけは怖いが「ドキドキ」と唯一知っている日本語を連呼して和ませてくれる。
あっと言う間に高度14,000フィートに到着。
あれよあれよと皆が飛び立っていく。覚悟を決めるまもなく私も空中に!
風はとにかくすごいが、落ちているの?という感じ。とにかく地上が近づいてこないため、自分がどうなっているのか良く分らない。
結構長い時間落下し、パラシュートが開く。
飛び立ってからあっという間だったためか、やっと落ち着いて周りを見れるように。
器具が股に挟まってやや痛いが気分は爽快。地上に降り立つまでスイングしてくれたりとサービス精神旺盛のインストラクターに感謝です。

この日は結構暑い日だったんですが、ダイビング中は結構冷えるため、長袖がお勧め。特に落下中は寒いくらいでした。
最後にチップ箱に$20を投函してホノルルへ。

何だかんだでそこそこお金は払いましたが、日本でやるよりはだいぶ安いと思います。ハワイ行くなら是非挑戦を!

I was able to ride it on my second attempt. 再チャレンジで乗れました

Reviewed by: 小春ばぁちゃん

On the second day in Hawaii, I had a reservation, but it was canceled due to bad weather in Hilo (tears). It was disappointing since Waikoloa had nice weather. Due to my schedule, the only available day was the checkout day, so I rescheduled it as that was my last chance. On the final day, while waiting nervously, I was told it was okay to go today.

For those with flexible schedules, I recommend making reservations as early as possible, and if the tour is canceled due to weather, it's good to have a backup date.

Now, the actual flight was amazing. Unfortunately, the volcano was in a state of calm, so I couldn't see the dynamic lava flows or ocean entry, but I could see lava from a hole in the ground! I also saw black streaks that made me think lava was flowing underground, which was both exciting and a bit scary. It was great to see the charm of Hawaii Island's green lava landscape from the sky. However, since it was an English tour, I didn't understand most of the explanations, but even without them, seeing the scenery in front of me was more than enough to enjoy.

I participated with my 4-year-old and 1-year-old, and the kids were satisfied too!

ハワイ島2日目に予約していましたが、
ヒロの天候が悪いとのことで、催行中止に(涙)
ワイコロアが良いお天気な分残念でした。
日程的にチェックアウトの日しか予定があいていなかったので、その日がラストチャンスということで振り替えをしました。
最終日、どきどきしながら待っていると、今日はOKと言ってくれました。
日程に余裕がある人は、できるだけ日程の前の方に予約をしれて、
もし天候で催行されなくても振り替え予備日を設けておくと良いとおもいます。

さて、実際のフライトは、すばらしかったです。
残念ながら火山は小康状態だったので溶岩の流出やオーシャンエントリーというダイナミックな状態はみれませんでしたが
大地にぽっかり開いた穴から溶岩がみえました!
おそらく地中を流れているなと思わせる黒い筋もみえて
嬉しさと怖さ?とでぞくぞくとしました。
その他島の緑溶岩の大地というハワイ島の魅力を空からみれたのもよかったです。
ただ、英語ツアーだったので、説明の大部分がわからなかったのですが
それでも、説明がなくても百聞は一見にしかず、で
やはり目の前に広がる景色で充分楽しめました。

4歳と1歳の子ども連れで参加したのですが
子ども達も満足していましたよ

I went tandem skydiving for the first time this time. After some hesitation, I decided to challenge myself from 14,000 feet!

The divers, photographers, and all the staff were cheerful and funny! After a brief lecture, we set off immediately. Before I could even feel scared (in about 15 minutes), we arrived at the drop zone and dove into the beautiful sky of the North Shore without any time to hesitate!!

I experienced a view and excitement like I had never seen before all at once☆ It really gets your adrenaline pumping!

If you are prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must. (It shakes a lot during the parachute descent.)

Once in a lifetime!! 一生に一度は!!

Reviewed by: 20年振りのハワイ

It truly became the best memory!

I thought I should try skydiving at least once in my life, and it really turned out to be an unforgettable experience. As many experienced jumpers say, I never felt that floating sensation like on a roller coaster; until the parachute opened, I was just lying flat in strong winds (but the view was absolutely amazing, unlike anything in my daily life!). Once the parachute opened, even though I was at a considerable altitude, I felt no resistance at all—it was truly a walk in the sky!

This first dive was so wonderful that it made me want to go skydiving again somewhere.

By the way, since I signed up with three friends, we went without a shuttle and drove there with a rental car. Rental cars in Hawaii are very affordable, so if you're comfortable with left-hand driving, it might be better to go on your own to save time.

本当に最高の思い出となりました!

人生一度は、、と思い今回念願のスカイダイビングとなりましたが本当に忘れられない思い出となりました。
経験者はみなさんおっしゃってますが、所謂ジェットコースターのようなふわっと感は一度も感じることなく、パラシュートが開くまではただ強風の上で大の字になっているだけ(でも景色は自分の日常生活から考えられない素晴らしさ!)、パラシュートが開いてからはかなりの高度があるものの何の抵抗も感じることが無く、まさに空中散歩!

絶対にまたスカイダイビングをどこかでやろうと思わせてくれた素敵な1st diveとなりました。

ちなみに友人3名との申込みだった為送迎無しで申込み、レンタカーで行きました。
ハワイはレンタカーが非常に安いので左ハンドル問題無い方はご自身で行かれた方が時間の無駄はないかもしれません。

I was very excited! To be honest, I was a bit scared before doing it, but the instructor was easy to talk to, which helped me relax a little. Since it's a sport that requires personal responsibility, I think it's good to challenge yourself once you've made up your mind! Once you jump, you'll experience wind pressure, scenery, and thrills like you've never felt before. I think running shoes that can be tightened with laces are best. You can't bring a camera, but you can request paid photography. It's an amazing sport overall.

非常に興奮しました!やる前は正直怖かったですが、インストラクターは気軽に話してくれ多少リラックスできます。
あくまで自己責任のスポーツなので覚悟を決めたらチャレンジするのもいいと思います!
飛んだら、今までに感じたことのない風圧・景色・スリルが味わえます。
靴は紐のきつくできるランニングシューズ的なものがいいと思います。カメラは持っていけません。撮影は有料で頼めます。とにかくすごいスポーツです。

This was a great attraction to take! I was told the best way to see Kauai was by air, but was not crazy about taking a helicopter ride, so this was a great alternative. The pilot, Paul, was great and very informative! The weather wasn't the best (rained some), but we still got to see alot and Paul made sure that if it was raining in one area, we went around it to see it from the back side or another angle. It was great! There was six in my group and we all said we would do it again!

Honestly, I had hoped to participate but was scared and considered backing out. However, after going to the site and talking with the staff, all my anxieties disappeared. The experience of free-falling from 14,000 feet was beyond words. My instructor and the cameraman were very friendly, and being able to dive together became a truly precious memory. (I ended up giving quite a generous tip.)

Participating in Japan would cost nearly double. Considering that you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Oahu, I think it's a great deal for those who are thinking about trying diving.

For first-timers, it's definitely worth asking for photos and video recording.

正直参加希望は出したが怖くなって辞めようかとも考えていましたが、

一緒のダイビングを出来たことも大変貴重な思い出ともなりました。
(結構チップも多めにわたしてしまいました)

日本で参加すると倍近く費用がかかります。

I did this helicopter ride with my husband and 12 yr old son. It was fantastic! We got lucky and had a sunny day, and the views of the island were amazing. We saw some lava flows, we saw waterfalls, and the pilot shared lots of information. We saw a house that had recently been destroyed by lava flow, and all that was left was a bit of roof. We had never done a helicopter ride, and I was a bit nervous about it. We rode with the doors on. It was very smooth, and the views made me forget to be nervous. I felt very safe actually. Our pilot (Aaron) was completely competent and friendly and knowledgeable. I got to sit in the front, next to the pilot. My husband and son sat behind us and they had a great time. Its expensive, but its worth doing at least once. You'll get a view of the island that you can't see any other way.

Reviewed by: CANDY

In mid-January, my wife and I participated with our friends, a couple.

We went to Hawaii for our friends' wedding trip, and while my wife and I had skydived twice before, our friends had no experience, and the groom was afraid of heights... We forced him to sign up and managed to get him to jump.

This time, we jumped from 14,000 feet, which was higher than our previous two jumps, and the freefall lasted over 60 seconds, making it especially enjoyable. Above all, the weather was perfect, and the views were great, making it an incredible experience. The staff were very accommodating, and our friends, who were experiencing this for the first time, seemed to enjoy it without any worries. Although the groom was sweating nervously...

Additionally, for our previous two jumps, we had requested DVD recordings, but in the last one, the instructor's camera only captured my expressions. Here, however, the camera operator jumped with us, capturing the surrounding scenery and the reactions of the people who jumped with us, creating wonderful memories on film.

1月中旬に妻と友人夫妻の4人で参加しました。

友人夫妻のウェディング旅行の立ち会いでハワイ行きとなって自分と妻は過去に2度スカイダイビングの経験があったんですが、友人夫妻は経験がなく、しかも新郎は高所恐怖症…無理矢理申し込み、飛ばせました。

今回は、14000フィートで過去の2回より高く、フリーフォールの時間も60s以上と楽しさもひときわでした。
何より天気が最高で景色もよく見え、最高の経験になりました。
スタッフさんの対応もよく、初体験の友人夫妻も安心して楽しんでくれたようです。
…新郎は冷や汗かいてましたけど…

あと、過去の2回もDVDの記録をお願いしたんですが、前回は2回ともインストラクターの方が手首につけたカメラで、自分の表情しか映ってなかったんですが、ここでは、カメラの担当の方が一緒に飛んでくれて廻りの景色とか一緒に飛んだ人達の様子とかが入っていて、とてもいい思い出映像になりました。

Amazing! It's definitely something you should experience at least once before you die! 最高!死ぬまでに是非1度体験するべきです!

Reviewed by: きむあみ

I had been planning to experience skydiving at least once before I die. This time, after 10 years, I traveled to Hawaii with friends, and I decided that even if no one else wanted to do it, I would definitely go for it.

On the day of the jump, there was quite a distance from Waikiki to the skydiving point. Once we arrived, we watched an instructional video, and shortly after, our names were called to put on the harnesses. For an additional fee, you could request a video and photos, and a dedicated cameraman would follow you from the preparation stage.

Without much time to mentally prepare, it was time to board the Cessna! I got on the plane with my dive partner, and after about 15 minutes, we reached the jump point. We were hurriedly told, "GO! GO!!" and without feeling scared, we dove! The moment we jumped, the sensation of being thrown into the open sky without a floor was a bit nerve-wracking.

However, during the 1 to 2 minutes of free fall, I felt absolutely no fear. It was just an incredible wind hitting me from below. I had braced myself for intense G-forces or a feeling of my stomach dropping, but I didn't feel any of that. It's strange. Even those who dislike roller coasters or free falls would be just fine.

And the most moving part? I truly felt that the Earth is round.

I think many people have felt the Earth's roundness from the horizon, but the view I experienced was incomparable. It was the first time I saw a horizon that was close to 360 degrees.

I was made to promise that I wouldn't sue if anything happened, so I mentally prepared for death, but I’m really glad I did it.

Unfortunately, my video camera malfunctioned, and I couldn't capture any footage. I was asked if I wanted to jump again, but since that feeling of excitement wouldn't be the same, I declined. The photos turned out fine, so I purchased those, and they even gave me a T-shirt as an apology.

I plan to do it again in about 10 years. Hopefully, this time I can capture the video...

死ぬまでに1度は体験したい事として昔からタイミングを図っていました。
今回、10年ぶりにハワイへ友達と旅行することになり、
みんながやらなかったとしても、一人でも絶対やろうと決めていました。

いざ、当日。
ワイキキ周辺からスカイダイビングのポイントまでかなり距離があります。
着いて説明ビデオを見て、ちょっとしたら名前を呼ばれ順番にハーネスを付けていきます。
別料金ですがビデオ&写真を頼むと専属のカメラマンが準備段階から密着してくれます。

心の準備するまもなくセスナへGO!
一緒にダイブするパートナーとセスナに乗り込み約15分。
ポイントに到達すると「GO!GO!!」とせかされ、怖さも感じることなくダイブ!
ダイブする瞬間、床のない空へほおり出される感覚はちょっとビビリます。

でも、落ちている1~2分 まったく怖くありません。
ただものすごい風を下からあてられてるってだけ。これホント。
ものすごいG?とか、胃が浮くような感覚とか、いろいろ覚悟してたけどまったく感じません。不思議。
ジェットコースターや垂直落下が嫌いな人でも絶対平気です。

そして、一番感動したこと。
本当に地球は丸かった。

地平線や水平線で地球が丸いことを感じた人はいると思うけど、その風景とは比べ物にならない絶景。
360度とは言わないけど、それに近い水平線を見たのは初めてでした。

死んでも訴えません。みたいな約束をさせられるので一応、死を覚悟しましたが、本当にやってよかった。

ただ残念なことに私のビデオカメラだけ故障し、動画が一切撮れてませんでした。。。
もう一度飛ぶか聞かれましたが、あの感動はもうないのでやめました。
写真は大丈夫だったのでそれを購入。お詫びにTシャツを付けてくれました。

また10年後ぐらいにもう一度やるつもりです。
今度こそ動画が残せますように。。。

Hawaii Big Island Helicopter Tour – Volcanoes, Valleys & Waterfalls Flight

Excellent

Reviewed by: Dirk

This was an excellent activity! Our pilot, Toshi, did a great job of getting us close to the lava flows and the waterfalls. He was extremely knowledgeable of all the sights and was able to effectively communicate to both those who only spoke English and those who only spoke Japanese. I would highly recommend this two hour flight over the other flights available. What you are able to see in that amount of time is well worth the extra money!

絶景スカイダイビング 一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>

You have to fly at least once in your life! ★ 人生一回くらい飛ばなくちゃ★

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

After getting on the shuttle, we arrived in about 40 minutes to an hour. We watched a very fast-paced instructional video and received explanations from the instructor, and before we knew it, we were ready to go!

We boarded the Cessna and ascended to 14,000 feet. Along the way, we could see whales swimming and the beautiful scenery of the entire island, which was absolutely amazing! However, when the door opened and I saw the person in front of me jump out, a wave of fear hit me. It felt less like jumping and more like being thrown out.

When it was my turn to jump, it happened in an instant. The sensation when the parachute opened was scarier than I had imagined, and I couldn't help but scream, but once I calmed down, I was captivated by the beauty of Oahu! However, I did feel a bit nauseous because we were spinning a lot—way more than I expected!

Overall, it was fantastic. I would definitely recommend it to others!

One concern is that even though we took the same shuttle, the order of diving was random, and we had to wait quite a while for the return shuttle. This time, even though everyone was ready, we ended up waiting for about an hour, which was frustrating.

送迎車に乗り、40分~1時間位で到着。
とても早口の説明ビデオを見て、イントラクターさんに動作の説明をしてもらって、あっと言う間に準備は終了!

セスナに乗って、高度14000ftへ。
途中でクジラの泳ぐ姿が見えたり、島全体の美しい景色が見えたり気分は最高♪♪
…が、しかし。
扉が開いて、前の人が飛び出た瞬間を見たら恐怖がぞっと襲ってきました。飛びおりたと言うより、外へ飛ばされたって感じが…

自分が飛び出ると一瞬です。
パラシュートが開いた瞬間の体感は想像以上に怖いものがあり叫んでしまいましたが、落ち着くとオワフ島の美しさにうっとり♪♪
ただ…そんなに旋回しないで!!ってくらい、旋回してくれるので気持ち悪くなりました。。。

トータル的には、最高です。
絶対人にオススメします!!


懸念点は、同じ送迎車で行っても、ダイビングする順番はバラバラで、帰りの送迎までかなりの時間待たされます。
今回は、全員そろっていたにも関わらす1時間ほど待たされていたのが納得いきませんでした。

Thank you very much for enjoying skydiving with us.

Regarding the order of diving that you pointed out, it is determined by the instructor and participants' weight on the day, as well as the presence of a cameraman. Additionally, as stated on the tour page, our transportation service operates on a fixed schedule, but please understand that it may vary slightly due to factors such as high demand or waiting for weather conditions.

We look forward to your next visit.

この度は、スカイダイビングをお楽しみいただき誠に有難うございます。
ご指摘いただいておりますダイビングする順番は、当日のインストラクターと参加者の目方、カメラマンの有無などにより決めております。また、送迎につきましては、ツアーページにも記載させていただいておりますとおり、決まったスケジュールでサービスを行っておりますが、混んでいる場合や天候待ちなどの理由により多少前後することもございますことご了承ください。

I got drunk... tears. 酔いました・・・涙

Reviewed by: kaoru

It goes without saying that it was an amazing experience. Skydiving was something I had always wanted to try! The views were incredible. However, the instructor, who didn't speak Japanese, seemed to be enjoying himself a bit too much, making several spins, which was fun but made me feel nauseous. It was tough to hold back the urge to throw up. The G-force when the parachute opened was more intense than I imagined, causing unbearable pain in both my brain and body. By the way, I did take motion sickness medication, but it didn't help at all. If you feel good, I can guarantee that it will be an outstanding experience from start to finish! I went directly without a shuttle service, so once the diving was over and the DVD and photos were ready, I could leave right away. For those participating with a shuttle, even if you jump at 9 AM, you have to wait until noon for the shuttle to return. I think it's best to participate with plenty of time to spare. Since the wait can be long, I recommend joining without the shuttle service for those who are short on time!

最高な体験なのは、言うまでもありません。
一度は体験したかったスカイダイビング♪
景色も最高でしたよ。
ただ、日本語の通じないインストラクターさん、
調子に乗ってか何度も旋回して楽しんでくれるのはいいのですが、気分が悪くなってしまいます。
吐きそうなのを我慢するのも大変です。
パラシュートが開いた途端にかかるGは想像以上で、脳も身体も耐え難い苦痛を伴います。
ちなみに酔止め薬はちゃんと飲んでましたが、全然効かないんですよ。
気分さえ良ければ、終始最高な体験になる事は保証します!
私は送迎無しで、直接行ったので、ダイビングが終わり、DVDや写真が出来上がれば直ぐに帰れました。
送迎での参加の方は9時に飛んでも、12時まで待たないと送迎はありません。
時間に余裕持って参加されたらいいと思います。
待ちが長いので、時間に余裕の無い方は、送迎無し参加をオススメします!

North Shore Skydiving Adventure Tour with Oceanview - GoJump Hawaii

Ending the year right!

Reviewed by: No Pancake For You!

I was fortunate enough to end the last day of 2011by jumping out of a plane at 14000 ft high, Its probably the best thrill ride you could ever do.

The staff at Pacific Skydiving are friendly and knowledgeable, they keep to the KISS method, this way when you jump, you don't have to worry about anything other than enjoying the ride down.

I highly recommend anybody to jump with them if you can, the cost to jump with them is half the price at any other location I've looked up locally to me.
