Second visit to Kualoa Ranch!
Last time I did horseback riding and a jeep tour, so this time I wanted to enjoy more horseback riding and signed up for a two-hour session!
I took a bus transfer to get to Kualoa Ranch. (You can also go by yourself! It takes about 1.5 hours, so if you have the early tour, it’s risky if you miss the bus.)
We arrived a bit early, so we took photos of the horses and the mountains to make use of our time.
You can store your valuables in a coin locker for $5 (you get $3 back).
After watching a simple Japanese video, it was time for horseback riding!
They seem to select a horse that suits each person.
The horses are very smart and didn’t act up at all.
It might get a bit boring towards the end, but I felt that one hour wasn’t enough, so I was satisfied.
We also saw places used for movie filming, but since the explanations were in English, I couldn’t understand anything at all. We were at the back, so when they explained at the front, we couldn’t hear anything...
There is a guide at the back too, but there weren’t any explanations like that.
They took a photo of me and my friend with my camera (just once though).
By the way, you can buy a photo of yourself on the horse for $15.
Riding through the forest while looking at the sea and mountains was very enjoyable.
Thank you!
二回目のクアロア牧場!
前回は乗馬+ジープツアーだったので、今回はたっぷり乗馬を楽しみたいと思い、二時間で申込しました!
クアロア牧場へはバスを乗り継ぎ、行きました。(自力でも行けます!!1.5hぐらいかかるので、朝一のツアーだと、バスを逃したら危険です。)
私たちは早めに着いてしまったので、馬の写真や山の写真を撮り、時間を活用していました。
貴重品は5ドルでコインロッカーに預けることが出来ます!(3ドルバックされます)
簡単な日本語のビデオを見て、いざ乗馬!
おそらくその人に合った馬をセレクトされています。
馬もとても賢く、暴れることもありませんでした。
ちょっと後半は飽きるかもしれませんが、1時間では物足りないと感じたので満足です。
映画の撮影に使われた場所なども見ますが、英語での説明につき、まったく理解出来ませんでした。そもそも、私たちは後ろのほうにいたので、先頭で説明されるとまったく聞こえず、、、
後ろにもガイドはいますが、とくにそういった説明はありません。
持参したカメラで友達と写真も撮ってくれました。(一回だけだけど)
ちなみに15ドルで自分が馬に乗った写真を買うことも出来ます。
林の中を進み、海や山を眺めながらの乗馬はとても楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました!

I participated alone.
There were many women who also joined alone, so I didn't feel embarrassed about participating by myself.
When jumping from the sky, I didn't feel scared at all. It was a refreshing feeling.
As for advice, I think it's better to keep photos and videos.
The price is on the higher side, but you won't regret it.
一人で参加しました。
女性でも一人で参加の方も多く、逆に一人での参加も恥ずかしくありませんでした。笑
上空から飛び降りる時は、全く怖くありません。清々しい気持ちです。

If I ever go to Hawaii again, I will definitely go skydiving once more!

Overall, the sky is amazing. However, I ended up feeling unwell (~_~;) After flying, I experienced nausea and dizziness! This time, about 20 people flew at the same time, and only two of us felt sick... I was one of them. But the sky is truly wonderful. Everyone should try flying at least once.
Now, regarding the passage of time, we went to the site by rental car, but since we arrived after the tour, we had to fill out paperwork afterward and ended up waiting about two and a half hours before flying. It seems that during busy seasons, the wait can be even longer. Therefore, if you're going by rental car, it's better to arrive before the tour groups show up. They say to arrive by 8:30, but I think getting there before 7:30 would allow you to fly sooner.
At the site, there's an 80-year-old man named Masa who manages the Japanese guests. However, since he also handles the tour pickups, there are no Japanese speakers around during that time. If you’re told to wait by the foreign girl at the reception, you might end up waiting over an hour without being called. So, I think it's better to speak up, even with broken English, and push your way in.
The order in which you fly is mostly determined by the order in which you submit your paperwork, so once you arrive, make sure to get the forms and fill them out. As long as you're feeling well, I think it will be a fantastic experience. Oh, and don't forget to give Masa a tip. He's a really nice old man!
基本、空は素晴らしいです。ただ自分はやられちゃいました(~_~;)
飛んだ後に吐き気とめまい!今回は約20人位が同じ時間帯に飛んだのですが、やられちゃった人が2人でした。。その中の1人です。。でも空は素晴らしいですよ。。皆さんも一度は飛んでみてください。。
さて、時間の経過ですが自分達は2人でレンタカーで現地に行ったのですがツアーの後に着いたので記入書類がその後になり飛ぶまでに2時間半位は待ちました。繁盛記だともっと待つようです。。 ですのでレンタカーで行く人はツアーの人たちがくるまでに現地に到着した方が良いでしょう。8時半までに来てください。とありますが7時半前には行った方が早く飛べると思います。 現地では80歳?のおじいちゃんでマサさんという人が日本人を仕切ってくれていますがツアーの送迎もやっているので送迎中は日本人はいませんから、受付の外人の女の子に待っててと言われてそのままにしていると平気で1時間以上も声がかからないですからブロークンイングリッシュでもどんどん声をかけて捻じ込んでいった方が良いと思います。
現地で書類を記入して提出した順番で飛ぶ順番がほぼ決まりますので、現地に着いたらますは記入書類を手に入れて記入してください。
体調さえ良ければ素晴らしい体験になると思います。そうそうマサさんにもチップを上げてくださいね。。とっても良いおじいちゃんですからね。。

Skydiving itself was the best experience. It was an amazing experience that went by in the blink of an eye! I was already moved by the beautiful scenery as we ascended in the Cessna, but the sensation of falling through the clouds was something I had never experienced before, and it was strangely pleasant. After the parachute opened, it felt just like a walk in the sky. Combined with the excitement of falling, I was shouting "awesome! awesome!"
I hardly felt any fear once we started falling, and I truly understood why people get hooked on skydiving.
Ah, I want to jump again!
スカイダイビング自体は最高の体験ができました。
あっという間の最高の体験!セスナで上昇していく時点で美しい景色に感動を覚えていましたが、雲に落ちていく感覚はこれまで味わったことのないものでしたし、不思議と気持ち良い体験でした。パラシュートが開いた後は、まさに空中散歩といった感じ。落ちてきた興奮とあいまってawesome!awesome!と叫んでました。
落ち始めてからの恐怖感は全くと言っていいほどなくて、スカイダイビングにはまる人の気持ちが身に染みました。
あーもっかい飛びたい。

Amazing!!!!
I was able to fly without any worries and had a great time. It was reassuring that Japanese was spoken, but the guide wasn't very friendly. I would have appreciated a note about needing to tip. It seems the standard is $20 for the tandem partner, $20 for the photographer, and $10 for the Japanese guide. I was planning to fly the day before my departure, so I was mostly using my card and ended up short on cash for tips, which was a bit of a problem. Of course, tips are based on your feelings, but I felt bad not being able to tip properly after receiving such wonderful service.
But it was the best experience. There are skydiving options with insurance, but having insurance means there could be accidents. It seems there have been no fatal accidents here so far. I really felt safe while flying.
By the way, adding photos costs an extra $120, and a package of photos and video is $180. It's expensive, but I bought it as a keepsake. I'm satisfied that I could show it to my family when I returned home.
最高!!!!
全く不安もなく、楽しく飛べました。日本語が通じるので安心でしたが、愛想はあんまりないガイドさんでした。チップが必要で、その記載があると嬉しかったです。タンデムしてくれる人に20ドル、カメラさんに20ドル、日本ガイドに10ドルが相場のようで、最終日前日に飛ぼうと思ってたので、基本カード生活していたて、チップが足りず困ってしまいました。もちろん、チップなので気持ちで前後するのですが、すばらしいサービスを受けたのにチップをちゃんと払えず、申し訳なかったです。
でも最高でした。保険付きのスカイダイビングもありますが、保険がつくということは事故があるという事。ここは今まで死亡事故等は一切ないようです。本当に安心して飛べました。
ちなみに、写真をつけるとプラス120ドル、ビデオと写真がセットで180ドルです。高いですが、記念と思って購入しました。帰国して家族にも見せれて満足です。

I would love to do it again if I have the chance. The waiting time is long, so I recommend bringing a guidebook or something to read.
The photos are a bit pricey, but they make for a great keepsake!

It was my first time skydiving in my life! Everyone in the group was Japanese, and the driver was also Japanese, so I felt at ease. However, the instructor who jumped with me was quite casual... While others were practicing how to jump, I was just fitted with the harness and that was it. I was watching a video on the bus, so I felt somewhat okay, but I was a little anxious. The skydiving itself was fun!

I took the plunge and tried it! It was amazing…! It was full of thrills. I'm glad I experienced it! I have no regrets. I felt nauseous once I was back on the ground, and since I’m satisfied with this experience, I won’t do it again. However, I highly recommend it to those who are interested. Just be aware that it can take a toll on your body, and I needed to rest at the hotel until the afternoon, so it's best for those without plans. Everyone else seemed fine.

We were very new to snorkeling and no experience swimming at all. Pat was very kind to take us on rounds over a surf board. The corals were brilliant and both the captain and Pat made sure we happen to see most of the sea beings. Fortunately for us, we came across a Turtle while heading to Waimea Bay and family of Dolphins while on the way back to the port. Plety of fishes at the Bay too. Overall, a wonderful experience...worth the price!
