I signed up for the 2-hour course. At first, I was worried it might be too long, but thanks to the smart horses and the lovely cowgirls, I had a wonderful experience!! Next time, I want to challenge myself with the half-day course☆
The atmosphere of Jurassic Park was amazing, and I was lucky enough to see the filming of FIVE-0, making it a truly HAPPY day.
2時間コースで申し込みました。
初めは長すぎたかと不安もあったのですが、頭のいいお馬さんと可愛いカウガールの皆さんのおかげで素敵な体験が出来ました!!
次回は半日コースにチャレンジしたいです☆

My first trip to Hawaii, and skydiving was the main event of my journey with my college-aged son. It was supposed to be scheduled for the day after our arrival, September 11. When we arrived at Honolulu Airport and checked my watch, it automatically adjusted to the local time. Little did I know, this was just the beginning of the mishaps...
The next morning, just before 6 AM, on my way back from getting breakfast, I spotted the skydiving van at the hotel entrance and thought, "Wow, they operate this early! I wonder where they go?" When I returned to the room and looked at the clock next to the bed, it showed 7:15 AM. The pickup was scheduled for 7:05 AM, so I rushed to the front desk and asked, "Is it already past 7? Is there no skydiving pickup?" Unfortunately, they had already left. I quickly called the number listed on the coupon from the front desk and was able to speak in Japanese with the driver who was picking up participants. I was informed that they were already heading to the airport and was advised to contact them to reschedule. I changed the date to the following day.
On September 12, the day of the skydiving, I was nervous but excitement prevailed. The plane climbed rapidly, spiraling at a steep angle, and before I knew it, we reached an altitude of over 4,200 meters. As soon as the engine slowed down, the door opened, and one by one, people jumped out without hesitation. I was the second to last to go. The cameraman clung to the outside of the exit, and as soon as I knelt down, the instructor behind me signaled, and I dove headfirst in a somersault. The only moment I felt scared was during the approximately three seconds it took to complete the flip. Once I spread my arms and legs and entered free fall, the fear disappeared. "What is this feeling? Is it pleasant?" No, it was "Incredibly amazing!" This sensation lasted for over a minute. Once we landed, I could immediately see my photos and video. Initially, I thought I would only buy the photos, but after watching the video, I found myself loosening my wallet.
On the way back to the hotel, the driver turned out to be the president of the diving center. Still buzzing with excitement, I expressed my desire to return and dive again someday by saying, "Thank you. See you next time." The president cheerfully replied, "See you tomorrow!!" He was a nice guy.
The DVD was edited with music, making it feel like a promotional video. I've converted it to MP4 and have watched it multiple times on my iPad and smartphone, dreaming of the next opportunity.
初めてのハワイ、スカイダイビングは大学生の息子との男二人旅のメインイベント。予定は到着の翌日9/11のハズでした。ホノルル空港に着いて腕時計を見ると、地元の電波で自動的に時間を指した。さすがハイテク機器と思ったのがハプニングの始まり・・・
翌朝AM6時前、朝食を買い出しに行った帰り、ホテルの玄関でスカイダイビングのバンを横目で見ながら、「こんな早朝でもあるんだ~。何処だろう?」と感心しながら部屋に戻ってベット脇の時計を見ると、なんとAM7:15を指している。ピックアップの予定はAM7:05、急いでフロントに駆けつけ「今、7時過ぎですか? スカイダイビングのピックアップは居ませんか?」と聞くが出発した後だった。直ぐにフロントからクーポン券に記載の番号に電話をすると、ピックアップ中の運転手と日本語で話ができた。もう飛行場に向かっているので、参加できる日を連絡するようにと告げられ、翌日に変更をした。
9/12、スカイダイビング当日、緊張はしているが期待が勝っている。飛行機は急角度で螺旋を描きながら、アッと言う間に高度4200m以上に到達する。エンジンがスローになった途端、シャッタを開けて間髪を容れずに次々に飛び出していく。私は最後から二番目。カメラマンが出口の外にしがみつき、私が片膝をついた途端、後ろで繋がったインストラクターの合図で、前転する様に頭からダイブする。「怖い。」と感じたのは、1回転するまでの約3秒間だった。手足を広げて自由落下になると恐怖感が消えた。「何、この感じは?」「気持ち良い?」いや「チョー気持ち良いーーー!」この感覚が約1分以上続いた。地上に降りると直ぐに自分の写真とビデオを見ることができます。ダイビングの前は写真だけと思っていたが、映像を見ると財布の紐が緩んでしまった。
ホテルまでの帰りのドライバーは、なんとダイビングセンターの社長でした。興奮が醒めない私は、またいつか戻ってきてダイブしたいという気持ちを込めて別れ際にThank you. See you next time. 社長の返答は See you tomorrow!!陽気なNice Guyでした。
DVDは音楽付きで編集されていて、まるでプロモーションビデオの様です。MP4に変換してiPadやスマホで何度も見ています。次の機会を夢見て。

What an amazing outdoor experience! This hike is a must do if you'd like to get a better understanding of the hidden nature Hawaii has to offer. Our guides, Keola and Marcella, shared a wealth of knowledge and gave us an unforgettable and valuable tour of the forested region of Oahu. Some parts of the trail are strenuous, so be prepared with some good hiking shoes/boots and plenty of water. We also had the opportunity to taste the fruit the trail had to offer, simply delicious. I highly recommend trying this hike if you plan on visiting the North Shore.

One of the purposes of my visit to Hawaii was this. My husband and I were supposed to participate together, but unexpectedly, he fell ill the day before, so I considered canceling. However, he encouraged me to go alone, and I did.
My impression? Simply the best!!
The photographer was very good at Japanese and made various efforts to help me relax. The instructor spoke mostly in English, so I think it would be better to have some speaking ability.
I experienced a new world. When I come to Hawaii next time, I would like to participate again with my husband.

Best way to visit the North Shore Area. There is so much to do on this tour I only wished it had lasted longer. We snorkeled at sharks cove where we saw beautiful fish and sea turtles, swam under a waterfall at Waimea Valley, visited sunset beach and turtle beach. We then hung out and ate in Haleiwa town. There are different options to choose from depending on your package. We missed Waimea bay - could not fit into schedule. Maybe next time. Highly recommend if you are NOT renting a car.

We had a wonderful time here. Our driver and escort provided lively Hawaiian music,taught us about sacred Hawaiian land, historic places where movies were filmed, and a list of Hawaiian vocabulary. As we got there we were greeted by employees while checking in. We saw every village and participated in some activities. We learned how to dance hula and play the ukulele. We also got to see the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The Luau portion was the best! I have never been satisfied with an endless luau buffet.Food was great but I have only one suggestion which is make sure you don't eat too much because you still need to attend the show HA The Breath of Life. The show was awesome with historic facts of how children were raised with the sense of Ohana in Hawaii. After watching this show my girlfriend and I are aware of how and what life means to the Hawaiians.Ultimately if you are planning on visiting Oahu and was interested in this activity, then don't hesitate to book it!

It was absolutely amazing!
I had breakfast at 6:00 and was picked up at the hotel at 6:45.
In the hotel lobby, the driver, Mr. Takahashi, taught me how to fill out the participation form.
You can take your time to fill out the documents on the bus, of course in Japanese.
We picked up participants from three or four hotels and arrived in about an hour.
The training consists of watching a video, explained in Japanese.
The content is simple: ① The position when jumping from the plane (arched back with arms crossed) ② Spread your arms at the instructor's signal (they will tap your shoulders twice) ③ Never touch the instructor ④ Leave the landing to the instructor (extend your legs forward).
The instructor also explains using simple Japanese and gestures.
If you request photos or videos, or both, a photographer will jump with you.
I chose photos, and there were 177 images in the data.
They will provide goggles on the plane.
During free fall, breathe through your nose, and if your ears hurt, pinch your nose and slowly release the air.
I hope everyone enjoys the wonderful scenery and the elegant journey through the sky! ♪

When my friend asked me to do this with him, I was a bit hesitant. Not knowing what to expect, my imagination relived several scenes in "Jaws". After doing some research and coming to the realization that North Shore does this on a daily basis without people loosing limbs, I agreed. It turned out to be an absolutely phenomenal experience. We arranged for the hotel pickup and once in the van, took the 45 minute ride to the North Shore area of Oahu. Once at the marina, it's about a 20-30 minute ride out to the cage. The Captain went over all the safety instructions thoroughly and describes what types of sharks we would be seeing. His shark lecture was very informative and wasn't stumped when questions were asked. Once at the site, the cage is secured to the side of the boat and after the 8-10 passengers get in, the cage is allowed to float away about 20 feet. Observing the sharks was a thing of beauty and simply can't be described in words. I would do this again in a heartbeat.

The circle island tour (1 star) was too much a rush, it is literally a drive half way around the island to get to PCC, only a couple stops that barely has time to get off the bus and take photos, and no where states that the famous Hanauma Bay is closed on Tuesday for cleanup.
The PCC operates like the cruise ship, put a lei on you just to have photographer take pictures to sell you later, and then take the lei back. The so called guides in the PCC are students where some of them are not well trained to handle the group; you can do everything by yourself using the schedule of programs.
The Luau was mediocre, no whole pig roasting, just a huge dinning hall with lots of people, eating the buffet, and some show on stage. Sorry, I live in Vegas, this cannot compare.
"HA: Breath of Life" Show definitely 5 star, very well done and great performers, if you are willing to pay high price for shows in Vegas, this one is on par.

Four years ago, I went skydiving with this company in Hawaii. I couldn't forget the excitement from that time, so I decided to sign up again. Just like last time, the waiver included scary statements like "we are not responsible for accidents" and "general travel insurance does not cover this," but I understood well that it is a dangerous activity, yet a valuable experience, so I went ahead with the skydiving.
First, a video explanation is shown, detailing the methods and points to note. The instructors who jump with you also provide explanations. However, many of them seem to speak only very simple Japanese. (But since you watch the video, you will definitely understand.) There are many friendly and cheerful people.
You can have photos and videos taken, but since one cameraman jumps with you, the cost is nearly double. When you're on the plane, you can see the beautiful ocean and rise through the clouds, making the view inside the plane quite moving.
Then, under the instructor's guidance, you jump from the plane. Some people felt the wind pressure and said they couldn't breathe, but I was able to breathe normally. It felt less like falling and more like being a bird flying.
When the parachute opens, the drop speed suddenly decreases, which is surprising, but from there, you can enjoy the scenery slowly. The instructor made several turns so we could see various views. You land on the ground in just over five minutes. However, even when the ground is right below you, the landing can be quite jarring. So I think wearing jeans or long pants is better. Last time, I landed normally, but this time, due to the strong wind, I fell and landed on my backside (laughs).
But it was really fun, and I felt I had a great experience.
4年前にハワイに来たときにこの会社でスカイダイビングをさせていただきました。
そのときの感動が忘れられず、また申し込むことにしました。
前回同様誓約書に「事故があっても責任を負わない」とか「一般の旅行保険では保障されません」とか怖いことも書かれていましたが、それぐらい危険なものであること、でも貴重な経験であることを自分で十分理解してスカイダイビングをすることにしました。
まず説明のVTRが流れ、方法や留意点などの説明されます。
一緒にとぶインストラクターの方からも説明があったりします。でも本当にカンタンな日本語しか話せない感じの人が多いです。(でもVTRを観ているので絶対わかります)
とても気さくな明るい人が多いです。
写真や映像も撮影してもらえますが、カメラマン1人がとぶので2倍近い料金がかかります。
飛行機に乗ってる時点できれいな海が見えたり、雲をつきぬけて上昇するので飛行機内での景色も感動モノです。
あとはインストラクターさんの指示のもと飛行機から飛びます。風圧を感じて「息ができなくなる」という人もいましたが、あたしはけっこうフツーに息してました。
落ちてるというより、鳥になって飛んでるような気分。
それからパラシュートが開くと急に落下速度が落ちるのでびっくりしますが、そこからはゆっくり景色を楽しむことができました。インストラクターさんはいろんな景色が見れるように何度も旋回してくれました。
5分少々で地上に降りてきます。が、地面がすぐ真下に見えても着地はけっこう衝撃があります。なので服装はGパンや長ズボンの方がいいと思います。前回はフツーに立てましたが、今回は風が強かったせいもありコケてお尻で着地(笑)
でもとっても楽しくて、いい経験をさせていただいたなと思いました。

My first experience with skydiving. I boarded a Cessna and ascended into the vast sky. We went up so high that I wondered if we were still climbing. At 4,200 meters, we were significantly higher than Mount Fuji. Naturally, the clouds were far below us. After jumping, it felt like I did a flip. The wind pressure during the descent was incredible. It felt like the flesh of my cheeks was being pulled back towards my ears. It felt quite long until the parachute opened, but later, based on the video time, it was just a little over a minute. Once the parachute opened, it felt like we were going up. After that, I thought we would descend slowly, but… we made right turns and left turns, going over the ocean and back to the coastline. I got a bit motion sick. My younger son seemed to get quite sick. Perhaps because he felt a bit unwell, the time felt longer until we landed. After landing, my legs were a bit shaky. I requested some photos, but I didn’t purchase the video. I only bought the video for my younger son, so while the person is different, the scenery is the same. Since each photographer is assigned to each person, the number of photos and how they turn out varies depending on their sense, so it’s a matter of luck. My husband and I probably won’t fly again, but our sons will likely have another chance. Having experienced it once, I think they will enjoy flying even more next time. Skydiving while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Hawaii was wonderful. I recommend it for those who don’t get motion sickness.
スカイダイビング初体験。セスナに乗って大空へ。まだ上へ行くの?という位ずいぶんと高く上がっていきました。4,200メートル富士山よりかなり高い。当然雲ははるか下方。飛び降りてから、1回転くらいしたようだ。下降中の風圧がすごい。ほっぺたの肉が耳の後ろへ持って行かれる感じ。パラシュートが開くまで、結構長く感じる。あとでビデオの時間からすると1分チョット。パラシュートが開くと、上に上がる感じ。そのあとは。ゆっくり降りていくかと思ったら…。右旋回、左へ旋回。海の上へ行ったり海岸線へ戻ったりと。チョット酔ってしまいました。我が家の二男は随分と酔ってしまったようです。気分が少し悪くなったせいか、よけい時間が長く感じられ地面に降り立つまで長く感じました。着地した後は少し足が震えていました。写真撮影はお願いしましたが、ビデオは購入しませんでした。二男一人分だけ、ビデオをかったので、人間は違うけど風景は一緒です。カメラマンが一人一人着くので、その人のセンスによって写真の枚数と、映り方が違うので、ここは運ですね。私たち夫婦はもう飛ぶことは無いでしょうが、息子たちは、又チャンスがあるでしょう。一度体験したので、次回はより楽しんで飛べることと思います。ハワイの美しい景色を見ながらのダイビングは、素晴らしかったです。乗り物酔いの無い方にはお勧めです。
