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。。。

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!

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。

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!

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.

I spent my time in Hawaii focused on golf, but I was interested in this activity, which has a 65-year age limit. So, I signed up with my wife (I'm 63, and my wife is in her 50s). Our children are independent now, and my work doesn't cause too much trouble, so I thought it would be fine even if something unexpected happened.
I don't have a fear of heights, but sitting on a seat like a log made me feel uneasy as we reached a considerable altitude. However, I was bound to the instructor like a koi on a board, sliding down one after another. The one-minute free fall from 14,000 feet (4,267 meters) was incredible, with wind pressure at 200 km/h. I've experienced 200 km/h on a motorcycle, but the wind pressure on my entire body was incomparable.
According to the display, it was a 3,333-meter free fall!? However, since I didn't feel the G-force, it felt more like flying than falling. The cameraman fell alongside me, and I was able to strike poses as if swimming in the air. After the parachute opened, I had a bit of leisure time to look around, wondering where Turtle Bay Golf Course was and if I could see any whales, while also checking my altitude with the altimeter.
However, due to trying to show off, the sharp turns made me feel nauseous, and I just wanted to land quickly! Overall, it was an amazing, crazy experience. Thank you, RUNDY and ROBBY.
The only downside was the long wait time. We were picked up before 7 AM and arrived at the site by 8 AM. About ten people who came in the same vehicle started at different times. My wife and I ended up waiting for about four hours! Some people who arrived later were allowed to go before us. I wish there had been some consideration for the ten people who were in the same vehicle to jump around the same time or at least a way to indicate the order of jumping upon arrival.
ゴルフ主体でハワイを過ごすのですが、気になっていたこのアクティビティを65歳の年齢制限があるという事で、
今回、家内とエントリーしました。(私63歳、妻5?歳)
子供も独立しており仕事にもそれ程迷惑かからない状況になり、万が一の事があってもいいやと・・・
高所恐怖症はないのですが、丸太椅子のような座席に座り
かなりの高度になると不安がよぎりますが、もうインストラクタニーに縛られマナイタの鯉。すべるようにつぎつぎ降下。
14000ft(4267m)からの1分間のFreeFallは、時速200kmの
すごい風圧。バイクでの200km/hは経験ありますが体全体にかかる風圧は比べものになりません。
この表示通りに計算すると3333mのFreeFall!?
ただGを感じないので落ちているというより飛んでるとも。
手の届くところまでカメラマンが一緒に落ちていきますが
空中泳ぎをするようなゼスチャーもとれました。
パラシュートが開いてからは、ゴルフ場のタートルベイはどちら?とか、鯨は見えないかとか、腕の高度計を見せてもらったりと少し余裕?の空中散歩。
ところがミエを張ったおかげで、左右の旋回激しく、
船酔い状態になり、早く着地して!という気分になりました。
とにかく素晴らしいCRAZYな体験をさせてもらいました。
RUNDY、ROBBY ありがとう。
ただ待ち時間の長いのには閉口しました。
7時前のピックアップ、8時に現場に着。同じ車できた10名程がばらばらでスタート。私達夫婦はなんと4時間程待たされる!後から車できた人に先に入れるとか。
少なくとも同乗の10人程は同じくらいに飛べる配慮をするとか、順番を到着時に提示してくれるとかして頂きたい。

Getting ready and going up in the Cessna is very exciting, but once you reach the altitude to jump, you quickly find yourself leaping out, and the free fall time ends in the blink of an eye.
After the parachute opens, you can descend slowly while enjoying a beautiful, never-before-seen panorama.
When it's all over, rather than feeling scared, I was left with a sense of exhilaration, and I wanted to do it again.
準備して、セスナで上空に行くまで、とてもドキドキしますが、飛び出す高度に達すると、あれよあれよと飛び出すことになり、自由落下の時間はあっという間に終わってしまいます。
パラシュートが開いてからは、とてもきれいな見たことのないパノラマをゆっくり見ながら降りてくることができます。
終わってみると、怖かったというより、気持ちよかったという感じが残って、またやってみたくなりました。

It's a tandem dive connected by a belt with a veteran instructor, so it's reassuring. I was nervous before jumping and even shed a few tears, but the moment I jumped, although it was scary, the feeling of flying through the air with the wind quickly overshadowed my fear. The free fall until the parachute opens allows you to directly experience the cold air at high altitude, which is a unique sensation you can't find elsewhere. It's thrilling, of course, but the scenery is also incredibly beautiful, and I highly recommend experiencing it at least once!
ベテランの人にベルトで繋がれて飛ぶタンデムダイブなので安心です。
飛ぶ前は緊張して涙が出ましたが、飛び降りた瞬間は怖いものの、風をきって空を飛んでいる感覚のほうがまさって、すぐに怖くなくなりました。
パラシュートが開くまでのフリーフォールは、上空の冷えた空気に直接触れているので、他では味わえない不思議な感覚です。
スリルあるのは当然ながら、景色がとてもきれいで、一度はぜひ体験することをおすすめします!

I was looking forward to seeing the bright red lava flowing into the sea at Kilauea Volcano, but since the earthquake in March, the lava flow has stopped, and the red lava can only be seen from a helicopter. The cost is a bit high, but since it was a special trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, I splurged and participated with my wife.
It was my first time in a helicopter, and I was a bit nervous, but the view from above was amazing. The volcanic rock, the red lava, and the flowing waterfalls were all incredibly satisfying.

We participated as a family of four, including our children (ages 4 and 2). The price is honestly high, but it was a valuable tour.
As of November 2011, the volcano was in a state of calm, so we couldn't see the flowing lava, but we were able to see red magma and smoke from the cracks in the earth. It was great to see the different landscapes of the island from the air, including near waterfalls, the ocean, and land with varying climates.
By the way, our original reservation date was canceled due to bad weather after checking in on-site. Since we had some flexibility in our schedule, we were able to change it to a later date and participate without any issues. If you make a reservation, I recommend booking for the first half of your arrival in Hawaii and setting aside an extra day as a backup.
I had hoped for a Japanese-speaking pilot for our weekday reservation, but unfortunately, the guidance was in English. Honestly, I didn't understand most of the explanations, but I enjoyed the scenery. If there had been a Japanese guide, I might have enjoyed it even more. That's the only disappointment.
夫婦+子ども(4歳、2歳)の4人で参加しました。

I originally liked thrill rides at amusement parks, but I have to admit I was scared just before jumping. However, once I jumped, it felt amazing!! I didn't feel scared at all. I understand why people get hooked on it.
In the group I participated with, there were some who weren't good with thrill rides, but even they said it was really fun after jumping and that they weren't scared while in the air.
After we finished jumping, we had to wait about two hours until our car departed, but since I was there alone, I played frisbee and catch with the staff, so the time flew by. I can only have very simple conversations in English (or rather, I mostly communicated through gestures), but the staff played with me without any signs of annoyance.
This became a really nice memory, so for those who will challenge this in the future, if you find yourself with free time after jumping, muster up the courage to talk to the local staff. I'm sure you'll create some fun memories!
もともと遊園地などの絶叫系は好きですが、さすがに飛ぶ直前は怖かったです。
でも飛んでしまえば最高に気持ちいい!!怖いという感覚は一切なかったです。ハマる気持ちが分かります。
一緒に参加したグループの中には絶叫系が苦手な人もいましたが、その人も飛んだ後は、すごく楽しかったし飛んでる間は怖くなかったと言っていました。
飛び終えた後は帰りの車が出発するまで2時間くらい待たなければいけませんでしたが、一人で参加していた私はスタッフの方たちとフリスビーやキャッチボールをして遊んでいたのであっという間でした。
私は英語は本当に簡単な会話しかできませんが(というか、ほぼ会話無しでジェスチャーのみでやりとりしました)スタッフの方たちは嫌な顔1つせず一緒に遊んでくれました。
これもとてもいい思い出になりましたので、これから挑戦する方は、飛び終えた後ヒマになったら、勇気を出して現地スタッフに話しかけてみてください。
きっと楽しい思い出ができますよ!

Everyone is writing various things, but if you're unsure, just go for it. I can't do a 10-meter bungee jump, but the fear was almost zero. The staff were friendly, which was great, but the driver's "give me a tip" was a bit annoying. Well, I guess there are many people who wouldn't pay unless they insist. By the way, tips alone can run about $50 per person, but it's still worth doing. I recommend it.

Went to Kauai as part of our honeymoon and thoroughly enjoyed the helicopter tour. The most beautiful and amazing parts of Kauai can only be seen from the sky and this helicopter meant we could see it all! Pilot was very friendly and it was a plush helicopter, making it a comfortable journey. The pilot narrated the journey and made sure we saw everything very clearly. When the sun wasn't in the best position, he turned the helicopter around to make sure we got good photographs - nothing was missed! Would fly with Blue Hawaiian again :)

I'm not sure if it was because I mentioned it was my second time diving, but this time the instructor (Bandi) taught us how to operate the parachute during the fall and let us play freely (laughs). Also, before opening the parachute, perhaps because I was particularly excited, he allowed us to experience some intense movements that the previous instructor didn't do. It was amazing! I definitely want to participate again.
However, there was one issue... We were picked up at our hotel in Waikiki at 7:10 AM, and the four Japanese groups who came with us finished their dives around 10 AM, but the return vehicle didn't leave until 1 PM... During that time, there was nothing to do, and everyone was sleeping. The reason for the wait was that we were waiting for a foreign family who arrived much later to finish... I remember waiting for about three hours after finishing last time as well. If it weren't for this, I think it would have been even more enjoyable.
ダイビングをする前に2回目だと伝えたからかどうかはわかりませんが、今回のインストラクター(バンディ)は落下中にパラシュートの操作法を教えてくれて自由に遊ばせてくれました(笑)またパラシュートを開く前にも僕のテンションがやたら高かったせいか、前回のインストラクターはやってくれなかったような激しい動きも体験させてくれました。最高でした!また絶対に参加したいと考えています。
ただ一つ問題が・・・・7時10分にワイキキのホテルピックアップし、10時頃には一緒に来た日本人4組のダイブは終わっていたのですが、帰りの車両が出たのが13時・・・・。その間は何もすることがなく、みんな寝ていました。
待っていた理由は、だいぶ後から来た外人家族の終わり待ちち・・・・。確か、前回も終わってから3時間程度何もやることがなく待っていた記憶があります。
これがなかったら、もっともっと楽しいと思います。

When I jumped, I was so caught up in the moment that I couldn't think of anything, but I wasn't scared.
While flying, it was hard to breathe, but once the parachute opened, I felt so good that I could sense the vastness of the Earth. The ocean and islands of Hawaii were incredibly beautiful. I was deeply moved.
I highly recommend that everyone experience this at least once!!!
始まる前は、かなり緊張していました。インストラクターのかたは、気さくで明るく、不安を取り除くようにいろいろおしゃべりしてくれていました。
セスナで空へ向かいましたが、上空はかなり寒かったです。
飛び降りるときは、何も考えられないままで、夢中でしたが、怖さはなかったです。
飛んでいるときは、息が苦しかったけれど、パラシュートが開いてからは、地球の大きさを感じられるほど、気持ちがよく、ハワイの海、島は、とってもとってもきれいでした。大感激です。
ぜひ、一度は体験してほしいくらい、お勧めです!!!

I made a reservation.
However, I was unsure about canceling until the day before.
The night before, various thoughts crossed my mind, and I couldn't sleep well.
In the morning, when I opened the curtains and looked at the sky, it was a bit cloudy and the wind was a little strong,
and I found myself hoping, just a little, that the flight might be canceled.
But then, the shuttle bus arrived at the pickup location.
Including the two of us, there were ten people on the bus.
The driver handed us a document regarding liability in case of an accident, and I signed it.
It was written in Japanese.
In other words, it was about not suing no matter what happens, and it was about three pages long... I signed it.
We arrived at the airport, and the weather was nice.
This means the flight will take off; I had to brace myself.
The DVD plus photos cost around $180.
With the yen being strong and it being a valuable experience, I decided to go for it.
Additionally, various tips amounted to about $50.
There was a simple lecture, really just a basic explanation, and then we put on our harnesses and boarded the plane.
The Cessna took off with the window wide open, which was super scary.
It took about ten minutes to reach 14,000 feet.
Finally, the moment arrived.
Here we go, descending!
Wow, this is amazing!
Incredible, incredible.
It's a pleasant yet strange sensation, fantastic.
If you have even a little curiosity and quite a bit of courage, I definitely recommend trying it.
You will surely experience something wonderful.
By the way, the girl who participated with me got so scared before jumping from the Cessna that she froze up and was pushed out from behind.
But the moment she safely landed on the ground, there were high-fives and hugs with the staff... it was so exciting.
She said, "I was hoping it would be canceled due to rain, but I'm glad I did it."
I completely agree.
予約をする。
でも、キャンセルしようか前日まで迷う。
前の晩、いろいろなことが頭をよぎりよく眠れない。
朝、部屋のカーテンをあけて空をみると、少し曇り空、風も少し強い、
飛行機飛ばないかもと、それをほんの少し期待する自分がいる。
でも、ピックアップ場所に送迎バスが来た。
自分たち二人を含めて、バスには10人だ。
ドライバーから事故の時の免責に関する書類を渡され、サインをする。
いろんなことが日本語で書いてある。
つまり、なにが起きても、なにがあっても、訴えたりしませんよという内容が3枚くらい・・・・サインする。
飛行場に到着、天気がいい。
これは、飛行機飛ぶな、覚悟を決める。
DVDプラス写真で180ドルくらい。
円高だし、貴重な体験なので申し込む。
あと、もろもろのチップが50ドルくらい。
かんたんなレクチャー、ほんと、かんたんな説明で、ハーネスをつけて飛行機に乗り込む。
離陸するセスナ、窓あけっぱなし、チョー怖いよ。
14000フィートまで10分くらい。
ついにその時がきたよ。
いよいよ、降下ーーーー。
わぁぁぁぁぁ、すごいよ、これ!
すごい、すごい。
気持ちいいというか、不思議な感覚、ファンタスティック。
ほんの少しの興味と、結構な度胸があるならば、ぜひ、トライしてみてください。
素晴らしい感覚を味わえること、間違いなしです。
ちなみに、一緒に参加した彼女は、セスナから降下する前に腰を抜かしてしまって、後ろから押されるようにしてセスナから飛び降りました。
でも、地面に無事着地した瞬間、周りのスタッフと、ハイタッチ、ハグ、ハイタッチ、ハグ・・・大興奮でした。
その彼女は、
「雨が降って中止になればと思ってたけど、やってみてよかったあ」と、言ってました。
同感です。
