The dive was awesome. We had to reschedule due to bad weather, but I didn't mind because I appreciated the captain canceling the trip instead of taking me out for a bad trip. The experience was great, it made my time in Hawaii totally worth it. I would recommend this trip and this group to everyone. It's the best trip you can go on in the islands.

It is unfortunate that sharks have gotten the label of being mindless eating machines that attack anything that twitches in the water. I was able to experience first hand just how wrong this stereotype actually is.
The moment we arrived, sharks began to make there way to us. The regulars, the Sandbar Sharks, are attracted to the sound of the boat engine and quickly swam up to say hi!, but then an unexpected visitor decided to drop by. My jaw literally dropped when I saw a HUGE tiger shark circling the boat. Then another came by...then ANOTHER! We were lucky since Tiger Sharks are fairly rare.
As the first four made there way into the shark cage, the remaining four, including me, waited on board and watched the sharks from the surface. These creatures just circled the cage and boat and at times a Tiger Shark would pop his head out of the water to munch on some fish. This shark could have easily bitten the crew member, but all he (she?) did was nibble and go.
If anything, it

Wow, wow and wow!!!! This was a truely amazing experience. To be that close to sharks in the water, to look them in the eye and feel their distain...... what a feeling. For anyone thinking of doing this trip, I seriously recommend doing the 7am dive, especially if you're going while the Tradewinds are still blowing. It was a little rough when we were out there and it would have been much worse later in the day. Also, if you've never snorkelled before, buy yourself a mask and practice for a couple of days beforehand, its not at easy as it looks. You'll get much more out of it if you know what you're doing with your mask and snorkel.

Date of participation: March 19, 2007 (Monday). We participated as a couple. Gunstock Ranch is about an hour and a half by car from Waikiki, located beyond the Polynesian Cultural Center. The area is lush and green, quite different from the rocky terrain of the Big Island, making it suitable for horseback riding. We gathered at 8:30 in the morning. It was just the two of us participating. After the rain, the greenery and rainbow were beautiful. We signed some documents, learned the basics of horseback riding, and mounted our horses. We proceeded with three horses into the greenery. Along the way, the female guide asked, "RUN?" and when I answered "YES," we started to gallop. The horse I rode was well-trained and very responsive. Since it was a horse that wanted to run, I hardly had to kick it at all. We mostly galloped except for the climbs and descents to the hill and some slippery red dirt areas. The trees on both sides formed an arch, and we moved through it at a comfortable speed. The guide picked guava fruit for us, which was sour and delicious. When we reached the top of the hill, we had a 360-degree view. We could see the ocean as well. The wind felt nice, and the view was amazing. The hour flew by. It was a lot of fun.
P.S. To Alan1: Please create a farm stay tour at this ranch.
参加日: 2007/03/19(月) 夫婦2人で参加しました。
ガンストック牧場はワイキキから車で約1時間半、ポリネシアカルチュアルセンターの先にあります。緑が一面に広がっていて、ハワイ島のゴツゴツした地面とは違い、乗馬に適していました。朝、8時半に集合。参加は私たち夫婦2人のみ。雨上がりで緑と虹がとてもきれいです。書類にサインをし、乗馬の基本を教えてもらい騎乗。緑の中へ3頭で進んでいきます。途中、女性のガイドさんから「RUN?」と言われたので「YES」と答えると駆け足開始。乗った馬は良く調教されていてとてもよく言うことを聞きます。走りたがりの馬だったのでほとんど蹴らずにすみました。丘までの上り下りや、赤土むき出しで滑りやすい場所以外はほとんど駆け足です。両側の木がアーチになっていて、その下を心地よいスピードで進みます。ガイドさんがグァバの実を採ってくれます。すっぱくておいしい。丘のてっぺんに上ると、そこからは360度の視界が開けます。海も見えます。風も気持ちよく最高の眺めです。あっという間の1時間でした。とても楽しかったです。

Since my son's wedding is in Hawaii, I took the opportunity to challenge myself to skydiving, which I've always wanted to do, as a celebration of my upcoming 60th birthday in March. I participated with excitement and felt no fear at all; jumping from 4,500 feet was nothing. The blue sky I flew through with the instructor was amazing. Surrounded by the blue sky and blue ocean, it was a very happy experience of walking in the air.
If you're hesitating about whether to try skydiving, I definitely recommend taking the plunge. You'll experience a feeling that only those who have jumped can understand! Even now, when I close my eyes, I can feel myself flying in the sky. I'm really glad I challenged myself to skydiving! It was so much fun!!
息子の結婚式がハワイであるので、ついでと言ってはなんですが3月に還暦を迎える記念に念願だったスカイダイビングに挑戦して見ました。ワクワクしての参加で全然
怖くなく、4500フィ−トも何のその、インストラクタ−と飛んでいった青空は最高でした。青い空と青い海、風の中、とても幸せな気分での空中散歩でした。
スカイダイビングをやろうかどうしようか迷っているのなら、是非挑戦する事をお勧めします。飛んだ人にしか判らない気分を味わえますよ!
今も目を瞑ると空を飛んでいる自分を感じます。

When I was in elementary school, I saw skydiving on TV and thought I wanted to try it at least once, so I was really looking forward to it. When I told my friends, they said, "Eww, scary!" but my curiosity was stronger than my fear, and I was excited to find out what it would be like.
When I actually jumped, I was surprised by how strong the wind pressure was during free fall. The wind was so intense that it felt like it was sucking in my cheeks, making it hard to breathe, but it felt amazing. The cameraman was flying opposite me, and I wanted to pose for the camera, but I didn’t have the energy for that at all. They took about 100 pictures in total, and even though I hesitated because it was expensive, I’m glad I chose the photo package.
Once the parachute opened, it felt like I was floating down slowly, and I was able to enjoy the view from above. When I landed, my legs were shaking, but I was really glad I did it. They say it can change your perspective on life, and I felt like I could do anything.
小学生の頃、テレビでスカイダイビングをしているのを見て一度やってみたいと思っていたのですごく楽しみでした。
友達に言うと「え~~~怖い~~」って言われたけど、恐怖よりも好奇心の方が強くてどんな感じなのかワクワクでした。
実際飛んでみて、フリーホールがこんなに風圧が強いとはビックリでした。
ほっっぺたが凹んじゃうくらいの風で息をするのも大変だったけど、すごく気持ちよかったです。
カメラマンが向いで飛んでくれるのでカメラに向かってポーズとりたいのにそんな余裕全然ありませんでした。
トータルで100枚くらいとってくれたし、高いから迷ったけど写真つきにしてよかったです。
パラシュートが開いてからはふ~わふ~わとゆっくり降りてくる感じで上空からの景色も堪能できました。
地上に着いたときは足がガクガクでしたが飛んでホントに良かったです。
人生観が変わるって言うけど、なんだか何でも出来るような気持ちになりました。

I often go to Hawaii, so I've participated in whale and dolphin cruises many times, but I had been curious about it for a while, so this time I tried a shark tour for the first time.
I definitely got seasick. Since I'm not very good on boats, I think it's better for those who are worried to bring motion sickness medication.
It seems that it's still not very popular among Japanese people, but the Americans who participated with me were incredibly excited. I wonder if they have a lot of adrenaline?
When you think of sharks, you might have a scary impression, but the sharks I saw in the North were beautiful, and I couldn't help but be captivated by their swimming.
It seems that the number of sharks you can see varies by day, but there are almost no days when you can't see any. I recommend planning a full day in the North Haleiwa area with a rental car and allocating some free time for the shark tour.
It feels a bit wasteful to go all that way just for that, but I think it's worth participating at least once.
ハワイには良く行くので、クジラやイルカのクルーズは何度も参加してますが、前から気になっていたので、今回はじめてシャークツアーに挑戦してきました。
たしかに酔いました。
もともと船に強くないので、心配な人は酔い止めの薬を持っていったほうが良いと思いました。
日本人にはまだまだ人気が弱いらしいですが、一緒に参加したアメリカ人たちのハシャギようと言ったらありません。彼らは血の気が多いのかな??
サメと言うと怖い印象がありますが、ノースの海で見たハワイのサメは美しく、泳ぐ姿はなぜか見とれてしまいました。
日によって、会えるサメの数は違うようですが、見れないという日はほとんどないみたいですね。お勧めは、レンタカーなどで終日ノース・ハレイワ方面のプランを立てて、空き時間をサメツアーにあてるという感じですかね?
それだけ行くともったいない気もしますが、一度は参加する価値ありと思います。

I participated in skydiving for the first time before turning 50. I had always struggled with amusement park roller coasters and free falls, which made me feel sick, but after seeing the Pacific Skydiving Center's website, I was drawn in and decided to sign up. My experience was incredibly refreshing; it had been a long time since I felt that way. By the time I was ascending in the airplane, all fear had completely vanished. During the approximately one minute of free fall, as I pierced through the clouds, I felt something sacred. Once the parachute opened, I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hawaii. I could even feel that the Earth is round. There were Japanese staff members, which made me feel at ease. Although I thought the price was a bit high, I opted for the video and camera services. I definitely recommend getting those; it was great to see how I flew. I was so thrilled that I signed up on the spot to jump a second time. For anyone hesitating, I absolutely think you should give it a try!
50歳前ではじめてのスカイダイビングに参加しました。もともと、遊園地のジェットコースーターやフリーフォールは気分が悪くなってしまい苦手でしたが、パシフィックスカイダイビングセンターのホームページを見てひかれるものがあり申し込みました。やった感想は、こんなにすがすがしい気分になれたのは本当に久しぶりでした。飛行機で上空にあがっていく時点で恐怖なんてまったくなくなってしまい、約1分間のフリーホールの間に雲の中を突き抜けていくときは神聖なものを感じました。パラシュートが開いてからは美しいハワイの景色が堪能できます。地球が丸いっていうのも感じることができました。スタッフの方も日本人がいて安心できます。また、値段がちょっと高いなぁと思いましたが、ビデオとカメラをたのみました。これは絶対に頼んだほうがいいと思います。自分がどんな風に飛んだのかが良くわかりとてもよくできていました。私はあまりの楽しさにその場で申し込んで2回飛びました。迷っている方は絶対にチャレンジしたらいいと思います。

We participated as a group of several people, but there were also two other groups with individuals attending alone. Since we booked through this page, there was no transportation provided, so we rented a car to get to the location, while the other groups arrived with transportation included. Although Japanese is not spoken, we managed to communicate through body language. The boat does sway quite a bit, so if you are prone to motion sickness, please make sure to take motion sickness medication before boarding. The area where the sharks are located has truly beautiful waters. You can see many sharks, but ultimately, you can only watch the sharks, so it can get boring after a few minutes. Additionally, some people felt nauseous after getting into the enclosure because it swayed with the waves. If you want to see sharks in a beautiful, clear sea, I definitely recommend participating.
当方は数人のグループで参加しましたが他には1人で参加されている方も2組いらっしゃいました。このページで予約した我々は送迎は無かったのでレンタカーを借りて現地まで行ったのですが、他のグループは送迎付で来ていました。日本語も通じませんがボディランゲージなどで何とか大丈夫でしょう。結構揺れが有るので酔いやすい方は酔い止めを必ず飲んで乗船してください。鮫がいる地点は本当に海が綺麗です。たくさんの鮫を見れますが結局鮫を見るしかないので数分で飽きてきます。しかも柵が波でゆらゆらするので柵に入ってから酔う方もいました。綺麗で透き通る海で鮫を見たい方はぜひ参加を

I had various anxieties, but I thought it would be a valuable experience and decided to participate. During the transfer, I was a bit intimidated by having to sign various consent forms, but the instructor was very friendly and put me at ease. As expected, I checked my equipment multiple times on the plane. Before I knew it, we were in the air! It felt like a different world. Instead of the sensation of being dropped like on a roller coaster, it felt like being hit by strong winds, so even those who can't handle thrill rides will be just fine. In no time, we finished about a minute of free fall and deployed the parachute. At that moment, I finally felt like I was flying. I enjoyed a leisurely stroll in the sky. This is definitely a tour I recommend experiencing. There were other places besides Pacific Skydiving, but the equipment was different. The planes there were ridiculously small and slow, making me wonder if it was safe. In contrast, the plane at Pacific Skydiving is large and fast, and it definitely takes you up to 14,000 feet. Since there are Japanese staff for the transfer and instructors, you can trust them much more than the cheaper options at $100.
いろいろ不安はありましたが、貴重な経験と思い参加しました。送迎途中いろいろ承諾書にサインをさせられてビビらせられますが、インストラクターはとてもフレンドリーで安心させられます。当たり前でしょうが、飛行機の中でも何度も装備をチェックしてました。そして怖いとか言ってる間もなくいざ空へ!!そこは別世界です。ジェットコースターのように落とされる感覚ではなく、強い風を浴びてる感覚ですから絶叫マシーンに乗れない人でも全然大丈夫です。あっという間に約1分のフリーフォールを終えてパラシュートに。ここでやっと空を飛んでる実感が沸いてきました。ゆっくり空中散歩を楽しんできました。ぜひ体験してほしいツアーです。あとパシフィックスカイダイビング以外のところもありましたが設備が違います。飛行機なんかムチャクチャ小さく速度も遅く大丈夫?って感じです。パシフィックスカイダイビングの飛行機は大きいし早いし、確実に14000フィートに連れていってくれます。送迎やインストラクターも日本人の方がいらっしゃいますので、100ドルの安いところより絶対信頼できますよ。

I enjoyed an hour of horseback riding on May 9, 2014. Since it was my first time riding, I was a bit scared at first, but the horse was very calm and walked slowly, so I got used to it quickly. It might be a bit lacking for experienced riders, but it's perfect for beginners. However, both my husband and I had muscle pain in our groin area the next day.
We encountered a heavy downpour during the ride, and I was impressed that the horse managed to keep walking even while slipping a bit. Next time, I’d like to ride for two hours. The four-wheeler buggy also looked quite interesting.

I participated with my parents, who were experiencing horseback riding for the first time, while I had some experience but was trying Western style for the first time. Before joining, I read some negative comments and was worried about whether my parents would be okay (my father had injured his left hand before our trip to Hawaii and couldn't use it), but during the ride, the staff kindly checked on my father in simple Japanese. My mother, who initially looked anxious on the horse, was very satisfied by the end of the two hours, saying, "I want to ride a little longer!" As someone who has experience in horseback riding, I felt it was a bit lacking, but trying Western style for the first time was interesting, and the scenery was wonderful, allowing us to enjoy it leisurely. The staff member who galloped alongside our line was cool and I was envious (laughs). The view from the horse's back is different and lovely, so I highly recommend it to those who haven't tried it yet.

I participated with my younger sister. At first, I thought skydiving was scary and outrageous! However, since my sister insisted on doing it together, I reluctantly joined.
Initially, I got scared reading a long document with all the terms and conditions and signing it, and I hesitated, thinking, "Maybe I should just back out..." I watched a video beforehand to learn how to dive, and before I knew it, I found myself wearing a harness. (laughs)
I was diving with an instructor, who was very friendly, and for some reason, I didn't feel nervous at all. (The instructors can understand some Japanese, so it's reassuring.)
We ascended quite high, and one by one, each pair jumped out. I jumped without hesitation. While falling until the parachute opened, I dropped at an incredible speed, feeling very cold and unable to breathe properly (it's better to breathe through your mouth, slightly open sideways), and I was scared wondering how long we would fall. However, once the parachute opened, it felt amazing.
The weather was perfect, and the views of the sea and everything else from the sky were vibrant, beautiful, and wonderful, leaving a lasting impression on me.
Although it felt like a short time, I felt like I spent a long time as if time had stopped. I truly believe it was an exciting and valuable experience. It will surely become an unforgettable memory. I think it's definitely worth trying for those who have the courage!
私は、妹と2人での参加でした。
当初私はスカイダイビングなんて、怖いし、とんでもない!と思いましたが、妹がどうしても付き合ってくれと言うので、仕方なく参加したのです。
初めは、長々と文章の書かれた念書?を読み、サインをしたりで、怖気づいてしまって『やっぱりやめようか…』などと迷いました。前もって、ビデオを見てダイビングの仕方を学習し、いつの間にか、体にはハーネスをつけている自分がいました。(笑)
インストラクターと2人でダイビングするわけですが、インストラクターの方がとてもフレンドリーでなぜか緊張せずに済みました。(インストラクターの方は、日本語も多少分かる方ばかりなので、安心ですよ)
かなり上空まで上がり、一組一組…と順番に飛び降りて行き、自分も躊躇する間もなく飛び降りました。パラシュートが開くまでの間、ものすごいスピードで落ちて行き、とても寒く、呼吸も出来ないくらいで(鼻ではなく、口で細く横に開けて呼吸すると良い)、いつまで落ちるものかと怖かったのですが、バラシュートが開いてからは、とても気持ちが良かったです。
丁度とても天気が良く、空から見る海などのあらゆる景色が鮮やかで、とても綺麗で素晴らしく、目に焼き付いています。
時間にしたら、短い時間だと思いますが、自分にとっては、時間が止まっていたかのような長い時間を過ごしたような気がします。
本当にエキサイティングで貴重な体験をしたと思います。
きっと忘れられない思い出になるでしょう。
勇気のある方は、是非やってみる価値はあると思いますよ!

Four-wheel buggies are definitely not difficult vehicles to ride. However, my friend kept going off course, and due to the dangers like falling off cliffs, we ended up having to take a different route from the other participants. I was really disappointed because I wanted to race around the mountains. By the way, the course is a riding trail with gentle paths. There were piles of dung along the side paths, which made me feel even more disappointed. The one happy thing was that the staff leading us allowed us to experience picking papayas☆ They were really delicious when we ate them with ice cream. I definitely recommend participating with someone who has a similar level of physical ability.
四輪バギーは決して難しい乗り物ではないです。しかし、私の友人はコースアウトばかりしてしまい、崖からの転落などの危険があるため、他の参加者とは別のコースを走ることになりました。山を駆け巡りたかったのに本当に残念な気持ちにでした。ちなみにコースはなだらかな道が続く乗馬コースです。横道にはバフンが山ほど転がっていて、更に残念な気持ちになりました。ただひとつうれしいことは、そんな私たちの先導してくれるスタッフの方がパパイヤ採りを体験させてくれたことです☆アイスを入れて食べたら本当においしかったです。是非、自分と同じ位の運動能力がある人と参加するべきですよ。

I was in control of the horse myself, and unless there was a major issue, the staff didn't assist, but that actually made me feel like I was handling the horse, creating a memorable experience that is hard to come by. The two-hour course allowed us to explore Hawaii's nature, including movie filming locations, and the scenery was wonderful. Don't question why horseback riding in Hawaii; definitely give it a try. It will surely become a great memory.
初めての乗馬で2時間コースでした。馬を操るのは自分だけで、よっぽどのことが無い限りスタッフは助けてくれませんでしたが、それが逆に、自分がこの馬を扱ってるんだという気持ちになり、なかなか体感できない思い出となりました。2時間コースは映画のロケ地などハワイの自然に触れられるコースを行くことが出来、景色もすばらしかったです。なんでハワイで乗馬なの?と思わず、是非参加してみてください。きっと良い思い出になりますよ。

Last time, it was my first horseback riding experience, so I enjoyed it for an hour, but this time, since it was my second, I decided to try the two-hour course. The two-hour course allowed us to explore a vast ranch that was also used for filming Jurassic Park, and I had a great time while enjoying views of the ocean and mountains. The horses used are well-trained and gentle enough for beginners to handle, and they are very cute. It's convenient to hang your camera around your neck so you can manage it with one hand. I will definitely go again next time!
前回は、初の乗馬だったので一時間で楽しみましたが、今回は二度目なので二時間にしてみました。二時間コースは、ジュラシックパークの撮影でも使用された広大な牧場を馬上から見学するものでしたが、海、山を眺めながら楽しく過ごしました。使用される馬は、きちんと調教されていて初心者でも操れる程おとなしく、とても可愛いですよ。カメラは、片手でも操れる様に首から提げておいた方が便利ですよ。次回も絶対行きます!

Even on the bus to the activity and after arriving at the airport for the diving Cessna, I was warned through documents and videos that "skydiving is dangerous!" and "it's your responsibility no matter what happens!" I was quite intimidated by all of this, but there's no doubt that it is indeed a dangerous activity.
However, once you actually jump (or more accurately, fall?), the thrill and exhilaration are indescribable. Rather than listening to half-hearted opinions from others, seeing people jump at the site made me even more nervous, and then it was my turn to jump...
Thanks to the free-spirited instructor, I believe that even though we all had the same skydiving experience, our impressions were quite different. (I realized that sometimes the casualness of foreigners can be better than the uniform service provided by Japanese people.)
To capture this excitement, I highly recommend the video recording option. (Although, for those who haven't jumped, the true thrill might not be conveyed...)
アクティビティの迎えのバスでも、ダイビングのセスナ機の空港に到着してからも、
「スカイダイビングは危険だ!」「何があっても自己責任だ!」等々文書やビデオで
言われ、「止めても今なら費用はかからない等々」随分ビビラされますが、それほど
危険なものであることには間違えありません。
しかし、いざ飛ぶ(厳密には落ちる?)とこの迫力、爽快感は何とも言えません。
他人の中途半端な感想を聞くよりも、現地で人が落ちるところを見て更にビビリ、
自分が落ちて・・・
という感じです。
自由な発想をもつインストラクターのおかげでスカイダイビングという同じ体験をしても感想が
随分違っていると思います。
(外国人のいいかげんさが日本人の均一化したサービスよりいいこともあることを思い知りました。)
この感動を残すためにもビデオ撮影のオプションはお勧めだと思います。
(ダイビングした人以外には、きっと本当の感動は伝わりませんが・・・)
