セスナ(小型飛行機)体験操縦 1名~参加OK!ハワイで気軽にフライトレッスンを体験 by LANI LEA SKY TOURS & Flight School

My childhood dream has come true! ^_^ 少年時代の夢が叶いました^_^

Reviewed by: UG

Since childhood, I have dreamed of flying and wanted to become a pilot, but my mother, who was in charge of career guidance at home, dismissed my aspirations with a simple "no." I had been simmering with this dream for a long time, but after watching Mr. Onoda pilot a Cessna in Hawaii on YouTube, I thought, "This is it!" and I was inspired. After 50 years, my "dream" came true in Hawaii. Due to the weather, we were initially scheduled for the west course, but thanks to the captain's decisive choice, we flew the east course instead. Peering down at Diamond Head from above was the most amazing experience. The staff were incredibly kind, which made it even better. They provided round-trip transportation from the hotel, and we had such lively conversations that there was no time to feel nervous. I said my goodbyes, looking forward to next year, and it was a pleasant farewell. I've already booked my hotel, so I look forward to coming back.

 子供の頃から飛行機に憧れ、パイロットになりたいと実家の進路指導担当の母に申し出てもダメの一言で片付けられてしまいました。以来ずっと燻っていましたが、Youtubeで小野田さんがハワイでセスナ機を操縦するのを観て、これだ!と膝を叩きました。今回50年の時を経て、ハワイで“夢”が叶いました。天気の関係で西コースの予定でしたが、機長の英断で東コースを飛びました。ダイヤモンドヘッドを上から覗き込むなんて最高の体験です。スタッフの皆さんがまた親切でホントに良かったです。ホテルから往復送迎して頂きましたが、会話が弾んで緊張する暇も有りませんでした。また来年もお世話になりますと挨拶をして心地良いお別れをしました。もうホテルは予約しましたので、またお願いします。

  • いよいよ出発です。かなり緊張してます(^^;;

  • 私は手に汗ですが、妻は余裕表情ですね。

  • 横風があって流されるので修正に必死です!

  • 結構な高さを飛びます。虹が見えていたんですね^_^

I was very worried about participating alone, but I was able to take many photos, and since flying a Cessna has been my dream, it seems I had a lot of fun. I truly appreciate the support provided and the quick responses to my inquiries. Thank you very much!

Scenic Kauai Airplane Tour to Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, and Jurassic Falls

Awesome way to see Kauai

Reviewed by: Susan G.

Our pilot Marcus was wonderful! Our family of 4 got headsets so we could hear about all the landforms and points of interest we flew to. We got to see sides of the island that boats and helicopters don’t typically get to in addition to the big wow locations like the Napili coast, Waimea Canyon, remote beaches, and waterfalls. We felt totally safe the whole flight and would recommend this tour to everyone!

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>

It was a very valuable experience. Although it's quite long, I will describe the entire process from the morning pickup to the conclusion. とても貴重な体験でした。非常に長いですが、朝のピックアップから、解散までの流れを全て記載します。

Reviewed by: しん

I wanted to try skydiving at least once in my life, so I booked a plan with an instructor that included a handy camera and transportation.

On the day of the jump, it took about an hour to arrive at the destination from the hotel designated for pickup. I shared the ride with others who had booked at the same time. The driver occasionally spoke to everyone.

Upon arrival, the first step was to register basic information on an iPad. In the ID input section on the first page, if you booked through Veltra, you just needed to enter the last seven digits of the confirmation on your voucher. It was a bit unclear since "ID" was not mentioned on the voucher.

After finishing the registration on the iPad, I headed to the counter. At that time, there was someone who spoke Japanese at the counter, which made the process smooth. At the counter, they confirmed basic information, offered additional packages, and asked for my passport. Finally, I received a boarding ticket with a printed QR code.

After registering at the counter, I began preparing for skydiving. From this point on, the time until the jump varies depending on the day's circumstances. I was the first among the members who arrived in the same vehicle to be called. I greeted the instructor and began preparations. After putting on the harness, the instructor clearly demonstrated the positions to take before jumping and during the fall with gestures. That was the extent of the pre-jump briefing.

I headed to the Cessna with the instructor. There were about 4 to 5 other groups besides mine. Inside the Cessna, the instructor sat closely behind me as we lined up in order to jump. It was quite cramped. Gradually, we ascended to a height above the clouds.

When we reached the jump point, the door opened, and one by one, we began to jump. There was hardly any time to feel scared; it was that quick.

Personally, the sensation during the fall was completely different from that of a free-fall ride at an amusement park. I didn't feel any nauseating sensation in my stomach; it felt more like riding a motorcycle at high speed, cutting through the wind. However, it was incredibly fast.

The goggles were fitted quite tightly, allowing me to enjoy the scenery even during the fall. Additionally, the instructor occasionally pointed the camera at my face and asked me to make certain gestures.

After the parachute opened, we floated down slowly to the ground. For me, this part was hell. I didn't feel sick at all during the fall, but after the parachute opened, I suddenly felt unwell. I think it was because I was excited and noisy during the fall, looking at the scenery and interacting with the instructor, which led to insufficient breathing and a near state of oxygen deprivation. When I quickly informed the instructor that I felt unwell, he kindly advised me on how much longer it would take to reach the ground and suggested I take deep breaths. I was really grateful for that. Once we landed, I was able to breathe easily and quickly recovered, chatting with the instructor and packing up the equipment.

After arriving on the ground, I received a skydiving certificate (which also serves as a picture book), a sticker, and a pen. At this time, I also received an envelope for tips. The amount, as others have mentioned, is around $10 to $30. The envelope has a checkbox where you can choose to tip the operating organization or the instructor who jumped with you.

The return vehicle had almost the same members as the outgoing trip. The reason I say "almost" is that those who jumped later were assigned to the next transportation. This might happen if the plans differ or if there are many people. By the way, the ride was bumpy due to the bad roads and the speed. Given that it was after skydiving, it would be wise to take motion sickness medication. There was a notice in the vehicle reminding us to tip the driver. My wife and I rode together and gave a total of $20 for the round trip. The driver seemed very ple

人生で一回くらいスカイダイビングしてみたいと思って、インストラクターのハンディカメラ付きのプラン、送迎付きで予約しました。

当日、ピックアップに指定されたホテルから大体1時間くらいで、目的地に到着します。その日の同じ時間に予約した別の方々と乗り合いでした。運転手の方が時々全員に向けて話しかけてくれます。

到着したら、最初にアイパッドで、基本情報の登録作業をします。一番最初のページのIDを入力する欄には、ベルトラで予約した場合は、バウチャーのconfarmationの下7桁を入力すればよかったです。バウチャーに"ID"と記載がないのでややわかりづらかったです。

アイパッドでの登録を終えたらカウンターへ向かいます。その時は日本語が話せる方がカウンターにいらしゃってスムーズに対応いただけました。カウンターでは基本情報の確認、追加パッケージの勧誘、パスポートの提示を求められるぐらいです。最後にQRコードが印刷された搭乗チケットをくれます。

カウンターでの登録後、スカイダイビングの準備に入ります。ここからは、その日の状況によって飛ぶまでの時間が人によって変わってくると思います。
私は一緒の車に乗ってきたメンバーの中では一番早く呼ばれました。インストラクターと対面して軽く挨拶をして準備に入ります。ハーネスを装着した後、ジャンプする前と落下中に、どういう体勢を取ればいいか身振り手振りを交えてわかりやすく教えてくれます。ちなみに事前講習は以上です。

インストラクターとともにセスナへ向かいます。私以外に4〜5組くらいいました。セスナの中ではインストラクターが背中に密着した状態で飛ぶ順番に並んで座ります。かなりギチギチです。だんだんと高度が上がっていって雲の上まで到達します。

飛び出すポイントに到着すると、扉を開けて、次々にジャンプを開始します。怖がる余裕すらほぼないと思います。そのくらいどんどん飛び立ちます。

個人的に落下中の感覚は遊園地のアトラクションのフリーフォールとは全く異なるものでした。内臓が持っていれるような気持ちの悪い感覚はなくて、高速で移動してるバイクに乗って風を切っている感覚に近かったです。ただ、とんでもなく速いです。

ゴーグルをかなりきつめにつけるので、落下中でも景色を楽しむことができました。また、インストラクターの方が時々、カメラを顔に向けてくれたり、手でこんな形してみてみたいなことを求めてきてくれます。

パラシュートが開いた後はゆっくりと浮遊して地面まで降ります。私の場合はここが地獄でした。落下中は全く気持ち悪くなりませんでしたが、パラシュートを開いてから急に気分か悪くなりました。おそらくですが落下中に興奮して騒いだり、景色見たり、インストラクターと戯れた結果、呼吸が十分でなく酸欠に近い状態になったのだと思います。
気分が悪い事をインストラクターにすぐ伝えると、後どのくらいで地上につくとか、深呼吸をするようにと優しくアドバイスをくれました。本当にありがたかったです。地面に付いてからは安心して呼吸が整ったからか、すぐに回復し、インストラクターと話したり、器具を片付けることができました。

地上到着後に、スカイダイビングの証明書(兼絵本)、ステッカー、ボールペンをいただけました。このときにチップ用の封筒ももらえます。金額は他の方もかいてますが10〜30ドルくらいです。封筒にはチェック欄があって、運営団体へのチップか、一緒に飛んでくれたインストラクターへのチップかを選ぶことができました。

帰りの車も行きとほぼ同じメンバーでした、ほぼというのは飛ぶタイミングが遅い方が、次のタイミングの送迎に割り当てられたためと思います。プランが違ったり、人数が多かったりするとこういう事があるのかもしれません。ちなみに送迎の運転は、道が悪いのとスピード結構出すため、揺れます。スカイダイビングのこともあるので酔い止め飲んでおいたほうがいいです。送迎の車にはドライバーにチップ渡してね、みたいな張り紙がしてあります。私は妻と2人で乗っていき、行き帰り合計で20ドル渡しました。ドライバーの方は、だいぶ喜ばれていました。

プランの写真と、ビデオは終了してから2、3時間後に登録したメアドに届きました。Gメールだとプロモーションの方に入ってました。

ややアクシデントはあったものの、とても貴重な体験ができました。もしこれから行かれる方は、とてもあたりまえのことなんですが、落下中もちゃんと呼吸することを意識してみてください。パラシュートの滑空中も素晴らしい景色を楽しめるとおもいます。

The weather was great, and the scenery was beautiful—it was the best. Jumping into the sky was less scary than I expected, and I felt safe with Austin flying tandem with me. I want to do it again.
The videos and photos are expensive, but there are plenty of pictures, and the video editing is fantastic. I didn't request them when I booked the tour, but I asked for them on-site. If it's your first time flying, I definitely recommend getting them.

いい天気で景色も良くて最高でした。空に飛び出すのは思ったよりも怖くなく、タンデムで飛んでくれたAustinがいて安心でした。また飛びたいです。
動画や写真は高いですが、写真もたくさんあって、動画の編集も素晴らしいです。自分はツアー申込時は頼んでませんでしたが現地で頼みました。初めて飛ぶのであれば絶対頼んだ方が良いです。

It was one of the things I wanted to do before I die, so I'm really happy to have achieved it. I have no resistance to jumping, so I didn't feel any fear at all. It was just beautiful! Amazing! It felt like shouting "Banzai!" I struggled with equalizing my ears, and they were making funny noises, haha. When I get the photos, I might cry from laughing because I look so bad.

I think everyone should experience this at least once!

I appreciate the opportunity to experience it, but... 体験できるのはありがたいが…

Reviewed by: ghisallo

The explanation from the pilot was unhelpful. I was told to take the controls, so I grabbed the yoke, but I was cautioned not to grip it too tightly to avoid conflict. When I tried to level the plane, I was met with opposing inputs. The experience of piloting was not enjoyable at all; I was just resting my hands on the controls. Ultimately, I was told that if I kept turning left, I would be reprimanded. I wasn't actually steering; I was just resting my hands, which is why it kept turning left. The inability to assess the situation and the poor explanations were frustrating. I was also instructed to enjoy myself more. I am enjoying myself, but please do not dictate people's emotions.

I fully understand that beginners cannot be entrusted with the controls. However, if you are promoting an experience of piloting, this approach is inappropriate.

The information I received from the driver prior to the experience was completely different. There was no explanation on how to read the instruments. There was a brief explanation on the ground, but that was it.

I understand that communicating with air traffic control can be challenging. However, it is part of the job, and failing to satisfy customers is second-rate. What do you mean by "enjoy it more" when you are so brusque?

The conversation with K, who was assigned today, was the most enjoyable part. The pilot only used technical jargon and showed no willingness to provide clear explanations. I have hundreds of hours of experience with Japan's national license, as an examiner, and in drone training.

You must assess what kind of people come for the experience and provide explanations tailored to each individual. Giving the same brusque explanation to everyone is meaningless.

If I had known the level of the participants, I could have skipped basic explanations like pitch, roll, and yaw, and focused on more important details.

There was a lack of communication between the driver and the pilot. I was instructed not to use yaw, but that is a separate issue altogether.

K later supplemented all the difficult terms. He shared many stories from wartime and emphasized the importance of passing knowledge to the next generation. Without K, I would have wanted a full refund for the experience.

In the car on the way back, the woman in the passenger seat didn't say a word; I wondered what she was there for.

Thank you very much, K and the driver, for your help.

パイロットの説明が不親切。
操縦しろと言うから舵を握る、舵を握れば、喧嘩しないように強く握るな。
水平にしようと舵をきると当て舵をされる。
操縦は全く面白くありませんでした。ただ舵に手を添えているだけ。最終的に左にずっと舵をきっていると注意される。
舵をきっているのではなく、手をそえているだけだから左に曲がっていくだけです。
状況判断も出来ず、説明が下手くそ。
もっと楽しめと指図もされました。
楽しんでいます。人の感情を指示しないでください。

初心者に舵をまかせられないのは重々承知の上です。しかし、体験操縦を謳い文句にしているのであれば、このようなやり方は不適切です。

事前に送り迎えのドライバーに聞いていた内容とは全く異なります。
計器の見方も全く説明なし。地上ではさわり程度に説明がありましたが。

管制官との連絡が大変なのは分かります。しかし、仕事なので、客を満足させられないのは二流、三流です。ぶっきらぼうなくせに何がもっと楽しめだ。

本日から配属になったKさんとの会話が一番楽しかったです。パイロットは、専門用語ばかりを口にし、分かりやすい説明をする気もなし。こちらは日本の国家ライセンス、終了審査員、ドローンの講習を何百時間も行っています。

体験に来た方がどのような人なのかを確認し、それぞれの人に応じた説明をしなければなりません。ぶっきらぼうな同じ説明を万人にしても意味は無し。

体験に来た方のレベルを聞いておけば、pitch、roll、yawなどの基本的な説明を省きもっと重要な説明が出来たと思います。

ドライバーの方とパイロットのコミュニケーション不足です。yawは使わないなどと指示していましたが、そもそもそれ以前の問題です。

Kさんは難しい単語を後から全て補足してくれました。戦争の時の話、次の世代に受け継がなければならないことをたくさん教えてくださいました。Kさんがいなければ、体験費用を全額返金願いたいところです。

帰りの車の中で助手席に乗った女性、一言も話さず、何のために乗っているのか。

Kさん、ドライバーの方本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

First skydiving experience. 初めてのスカイダイビング

Reviewed by: まりちゃん

I was really looking forward to doing skydiving in Hawaii, something that is quite difficult to do in Japan, since I made the reservation. I was worried because it seemed like only English would be used, but everyone was kind and we managed with gestures. The skydiving experience was amazing, and the ocean and sky were beautiful. The person behind me during the tandem jump seemed very trustworthy, which made me feel safe while jumping. It was the best experience. Since it was my first time, I didn't have the opportunity to take in my surroundings at first, so if I go to Hawaii again, I plan to skydive here once more and take my time to enjoy the view.

日本ではなかなか出来ないスカイダイビングをハワイでやろうと、予約した時からとても楽しみにしていました。英語しか使えないみたいに書いてあったから心配しましたが、皆さん親切でジェスチャーでなんとかなりました。スカイダイビングですがとにかく海と空が綺麗でした。タンデムの後ろの方がすごく信頼できそうな方で安心して飛べました。最高の体験が出来ました。初めてでゆっくり周りを見る余裕が初めのうちはなかったので、次回ハワイに行くことがあったらまたここでスカイダイビングをして今度はじっくりまわりを見ようと思いました。

It's absolutely amazing. I will write about all the things that interest Japanese people based on my experiences! 死ぬほど最高。 日本人が気になる事全部体験談に書きます!

Reviewed by: のすけ

My wife and I participated together!
First of all, neither of us speaks a word of English, but it was not a problem at all! I've read in other people's experiences that there were Japanese speakers, but there weren't any during my time. However, it was no issue.

We used Google Translate, and when receiving explanations, they communicated with gestures, so it was easy. The instructor was kind and very reliable.

The check-in process was simple.

After check-in, we stored our belongings in a coin locker. There was no worry about theft. They provide you with a coin.

I think it's a good idea to purchase the video. There are two versions: one filmed from a third-party perspective by a cameraman, and the other attached to the instructor's arm. The instructor's footage was absolutely fantastic, so I think it's better to use the 100,000 yen for something else instead of flying with the cameraman. On the day, they also asked if I wanted a cameraman, but I said no thank you.

As for my experience, I felt no fear at all. The height was so extraordinary that the awe of the magnificent scenery outweighed any fear.

Also, I think motion sickness medication is essential. When the parachute opens and you descend, it sways a lot, so even with the medication, I felt a bit nauseous.

After the experience, we were given an envelope along with pens or award-like gifts for tips. It had guidance like, if it was good, put in 10; if it was really good, put in 20; if it was incredibly good, put in 30. You can just put in whatever you think is appropriate. Also, if you write a Google review, you can get a T-shirt, so definitely do that.

There was a shuttle service for both going and returning, so I gave the driver $20 (calculating $10 each way) on the way back. It was quite a long distance, so I gave a little extra. They were happy, and we both ended on a good note.

Overall, it was truly a wonderful experience, and I was very satisfied. I want to fly again!

妻と2人で参加しました!
まず、2人とも英語は1ミリも話せませんが、
全然問題なかったです!他の方の体験談では日本語話せる方がいたと記載ありますが、私の時はいませんでした。しかし問題なし。

Google翻訳を使用したり、説明を受ける時もジェスチャーで説明してくれるので余裕でした。
インストラクターの方も優しく、すごい頼りになります。

受付も簡単です。

荷物は受付終了後コインロッカーに預けます。
盗難の心配はなかったです。コインは渡してくれます。

動画は購入した方がいいと思います。
カメラマンが第三者目線で撮影したバージョンか、インストラクターの腕につけての2パターンあると思いますが、インストラクターの撮影で全然素晴らしいので、カメラマンと一緒に飛ぶ分の10万は別のことに使えばいいと思います。
当日も追加でカメラマンはどうですか?と聞かれますが、ノーサンキューと言いました。

体験談として、怖さは全くありませんでした。
非日常すぎる高さのため、怖いより壮大な景色に感動の方が大きいです。

あと酔い止めは必須かと。
パラシュート開いて降りる時、ユラユラユラユラ降りるので、酔い止めあっても少し酔いました。

チップは体験後、ペンや表彰的なプレゼントと共に封筒を渡されます。
そこに、良かったら10。すごくよかったら20。
死ぬほどよかったら30。みたいな案内があるので、自分の思うチップを入れて渡せばOKでした。
あと、Google口コミを書くとTシャツ貰えるので、是非。

行き帰り、送迎ありだったので
帰りに運転手に20ドル(片道10計算)渡しました。結構長い距離なので、気持ち多めに。
喜んでくれてお互い気持ちよく終われました。

以上、本当に素晴らしい体験で大満足でした。

Big Island (Hawaii Island) helicopter tour! ビッグアイランド(ハワイ島)ヘリコプターツアー!

Reviewed by: COCO

I participated in a helicopter tour of the Big Island! The pilot was Toshi, who recently became a grandfather and has semi-retired. I felt very lucky to meet Toshi on this trip!

From the moment we headed to the helicopter, my excitement soared, and it reached its peak during takeoff! I was moved by the breathtaking natural beauty of the Big Island spread out below me.

The landing and takeoff at the cliffs of Kohala Coast and the 365-meter drop of Punalu'u Falls were absolutely thrilling!

As I flew, reflecting on the history from the birth of the Big Island to the present, I was reminded of how short and precious life is.

It was truly priceless! I highly recommend it!

ビッグアイランドのヘリコプター遊覧ツアーに参加しました!パイロットはToshiさん、お孫さんが産まれて、セミリタイアされたとの事。今回、Toshiさんにお会い出来たのは、非常にラッキーでした!
ヘリに向かう時からテンションが上がり、テイクオフでMAXに到達!眼下に広がるビッグアイランドの大自然に感動しました(^^)
特にコハラ海岸の断崖絶壁と、落差365mのプナルルの滝へのランディング&テイクオフは迫力満点でした!
ビッグアイランドの誕生から今に至る迄の、歴史に思いを馳せながらのフライトは、人の一生が如何に短く、如何に大切か、改めて感じる事が出来ました!
正にプライスレス!!お勧めです(^^)

We appreciate this enthusiastic review, but we hope the SECOND word in the above text was "WAS" instead of "wasn't". That one word would negate all of the rest of the text.

Hana by Air & Land - Helicopter Flight & Semi-Private Sightseeing Tour Combo

Great day to explore Hawaii!!

Reviewed by: Jessie

Sammie was our pilot, and we were fortunate enough that it was just our family on the flight. She made us all feel extremely welcomed and took the time to learn our names, which made our flight that much better. We also all enjoyed the fact that our pilot was an instructor and a female (the world needs more female pilots) With a smaller group it’s easier to be more open and ask more questions about what you’re seeing. No one in our family has ever ridden on a helicopter, but we have all flown and it was awesome!! Planes can only maneuver so much, but helicopters give you a different look and feel of flying. Regardless of where you are sitting you get the opportunity to see all that nature has to offer firsthand. It’s also nice to know that everything was being videoed so you can spend more time looking and less time trying to capture it on your phone. She also was a wealth of knowledge around all things in Hawaii and offered recommendations on additional things for us to see.

Our tour guide was ready and waiting for us at the airport as we landed from the helicopter tour with Sammie. He was extremely welcoming and easily buildings one on one relationships with people. He had a very rich background of experiences which he easily incorporated into all aspects of the tour. From local language, culture, history, nature, driving habits of locals vs. tourists, and stops to get one of a kind eats (shave ice… not shaved ice) we experienced it all. My family was the only group, so we all got to spread out and experience that limo van. We had a beachside lunch overlooking black sand beach and got to experience local foods and stories of the area. We got time to visit the beach and got some great pics within a lava tube. The beach was a little busy, but we still found a spot. He also had a vast knowledge of everything we drove by and experienced. We were also surprised at how smooth the ride was. We had just done the Garden of the Gods a few days before.

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>

Enjoying skydiving. スカイダイビング満喫

Reviewed by: NAGOM I

In the morning, they came to pick us up at the Hyatt Regency where we were staying in Waikiki. With transportation included to Haleiwa, we enjoyed a scenic flight in a Cessna, skydiving at our destination, and then paragliding after experiencing free fall—each was a wonderful experience! Considering all this, the cost performance was excellent, and I truly felt the roundness of the Earth. I personally handed a tip to the person who flew with us as a token of gratitude. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the life-risking job. I decided to travel to Hawaii because I wanted to skydive, and I will definitely come back again while I still have no age restrictions.

ワイキキに滞在中のハイアットリージェンシーまで朝、迎えにきてくださいました。ハレイワまでの送迎付きで、セスナでの遊覧飛行、目的のスカイダイビング、フリーフォール状態を満喫の後のパラセイリングでの空中遊泳、どれもこれも素敵な体験!
と考えるとコストパフォーマンスはばっちり地球が丸いと体感しました。
チップは一緒に飛んでくれた方に感謝を込めて直接お渡ししました。命掛けのお仕事に心より『ありがとう』。 スカイダイビングをしたくてハワイ旅行を決めましたが、年齢制限が自由なうちにまたリピします。

First skydiving experience. 初スカイダイビング

Reviewed by: mayu

Skydiving was my husband's dream. As someone who is not fond of heights, I initially had no intention of participating. However, I thought that if I didn't jump with my husband, I probably would never jump alone in my life, so after much hesitation, I signed up. If you have even a slight interest, I highly recommend giving it a try.

I chose a package that included video and photos, but the content varies depending on the cameraman. My husband's cameraman and instructor were fantastic, and the photos and videos turned out really well.

It's better to have some English skills, but you can manage with gestures (my husband can speak a little, but my level is below that of a modern elementary school student). They don't provide insurance, so I made sure to get skydiving insurance before leaving Japan, just in case.

夫の夢だったスカイダイビング
高いところが苦手な私は当初参加するつもりは全くありませんでした
でも夫と一緒に飛ばなければ多分一生ひとりでは飛ばないな、と思い散々迷った結果、申し込みました
少しでも興味があるなら是非飛んでみて下さい
ビデオ、写真付きプランにしましたが
ついてくれるカメラマンにより内容が異なり、夫のカメラマン、インストラクターの方が素晴らしく、写真、ビデオの内容も大変良かったです

英語は出来た方が良いですが、ジェスチャーでなんとかなります(夫は多少話せますが私は今時の小学生以下レベルです)
保険は取り扱いないので、念の為日本出国前にスカイダイビング対応の保険をかけていきました

セスナ(小型飛行機)体験操縦 1名~参加OK!ハワイで気軽にフライトレッスンを体験 by LANI LEA SKY TOURS & Flight School

A unique and unparalleled experience. 唯一無二の最高な体験

Reviewed by: M.K.O

Once we took off and reached a safe altitude, the piloting experience began. The piloting time was quite long, with 40 minutes of the 60-minute flight dedicated to actually flying.

It's the best experience to be able to pilot without a license. It is a bit pricey, but I would love to participate again.

The flight route is determined by the weather on the day, and I flew along the west coast route from Pearl Harbor to Haleiwa, the westernmost point at Kaena Point, and Ko Olina.

The area near Kaena Point was clear and sunny, and it was such a beautiful place that I was more captivated by the scenery than by flying.

I was told that I could take photos freely, but I was having so much fun piloting that I didn't have time for that. However, the instructor took quite a few photos, and the ground staff also took pictures when we departed.

Additionally, as long as it doesn't cover your ears, you can always use an action camera for filming.

離陸して、安全な状態になると操縦体験スタート。
操縦時間は結構長くて60分中40分は操縦していました。

免許なしで、実際に操縦できるのは、最高のひとことです。
値段はしますが、また参加したいです。


フライトルートは当日の天候で決まり、
私はパールハーバーからハレイワ、最西端のカエナポイント、コオリナと周る西海岸ルートでした。

カエナポイント付近は快晴で、操縦よりも景色に目が奪われる素晴らしい場所でした。

写真撮影は自由に撮影OKと言われていましたが、操縦が楽しくてそんな時間はありませんが、
教官の方が結構撮影してくれて、
さらに、出発の際には地上スタッフが撮影してくれてました。

また、耳に被らなければ、アクションカメラ撮影も常時OK。
