Before it started, I was quite nervous. The instructor was friendly and cheerful, chatting to help ease my anxiety.
We took off in a Cessna, but it was quite cold up in the air.
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!!!

Last year, I had a wonderful experience riding in the North Shore canyon, so I ended up doing canyon riding again this time. My 10-year-old grandson also wants to do it again next year. This was the first time he rode alone, and he seemed to really enjoy it, even wanting to go again on the same day. Riding in the canyon must have been the best feeling for him. Next year, I plan to have him ride in the canyon plus by the seaside.
One of the highlights of this tour is that you can enjoy sightseeing along the highway on the way to North Shore, which was a lot of fun. At the end of the ride, the staff from Happy Trails take family photos, so it's definitely a good idea to bring a camera.
In any case, I can't miss this riding plan next year. It's a shame I can't convey how I feel about this experience.
昨年、ノースショワーの渓谷乗馬を楽しく体験できたので、今回もまた渓谷乗馬をしてしまいました。
10歳になる孫も、来年もやりたいとのこと、何せ今回初めて一人で乗馬をさせたのですが、とても気に入ったのか当日もう一回やりたいというほど、渓谷を乗馬することは孫にとって最高の気分だったのかもしれません。
来年は、渓谷プラス海辺の乗馬をさせたいと思っています。
このツアーの特徴は、ノースショアーに行くまでの間、街道沿いの観光もできるのでとっても楽しかったです。
乗馬の最後にハッピートレイのスタッフが家族写真をとってくれるので必ずカメラは持っていったほうがいいですね。
ともかく来年もこの乗馬プランははずせません。
この気持ち状況を伝えられないのが残念です。

The place was about an hour away from Honolulu but that wasn't problem. The website said to be there 30 min early and we were but the horse handlers said that wasn't neccessary. They were short handed and we ended up waiting more than an hour to ride but the place was majestic so we weren't bothered by the wait. The guides prepared us and were concerned about everyones safety. The ride was perfect. They guides were professional and took time to take our pictures while we were on the beach. I would do it again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Hawaii.. It was a great family experience.

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。

My family and I enjoy horseback riding but this one was not up to par. I booked a private lesson and was told we would be able to do more with the horses beside just walking them and also would not be a nose to tail ride but that's exactly what it was. We were told many things but none were true. A couple of the horses did not like having another horse so close to it's tail so they would constantly kick backwards. You're only on the beach for a short time to cross to the dusty path were you spend most of the time until you cross back over the beach to go back to the club. Our guide was also an unpleasant women who never spoke unless it was to tell us what we were doing wrong. It was definetely not worth the money we spent and would not go back.

Horseback riding has always been a really fun pastime for me, and I especially thought after seeing the ad on your site that this particular ride seemed different and unique. And it was!
The horses themselves are polo horses....and wow...are they beautiful. Very different from most ranch horses i have seen...and the ride itself...all I have ever been on have been on ranches along dusty trails or in the woods...THIS WAS ON THE BEACH...RIGHT BY THE WATER...IN HAWAII!!

I choose this horsebackriding venue because of the website which stated they are not your typical trail ride. According to the ad we would not be riding nose to tail - that's exactly what we had to do--- also the ad stated we would be free to ride the horses to our ability-absolutely not, we were not allowed out of the line or to go faster than a walk or to go ahead of the guide-who was a most unpleasant woman. Also the beach part of the ride was very limited. The only high marks I give are to the horses!! They were not your typical trail horses. Overall I was disappointed, especially considering the high cost.

It was my first experience and I was very nervous, but as the instructor said, I was able to fly like a bird without feeling weightless. Falling from 4,200 meters at a speed of 200 km/h was thrilling. If you pay an additional fee (USD 188), a personal photographer will capture the entire experience from takeoff to landing on DVD and in about 100 photos. If you request something like "Please take a photo that captures the curvature of the Earth," they will likely accommodate that. Before flying, there is a few minutes of an image video and a brief lesson, but you will sign a contract stating that they are not responsible for any accidents, so the decision to participate is at your own risk. If you have any health concerns, it is recommended to see a doctor beforehand.
初めての体験でとても緊張したが、インストラクターの言ったとおり無重力を感じることなく鳥のように飛べた。4200mを時速200Kmの速さで落下するのでスリル満点。追加料金(USD188)を支払えば自分専属のカメラマンが離陸から着地までの一部始終をDVDと写真(約100枚)に撮ってくれる。おそらく「地球の丸さを感じる写真を撮ってください」などと希望すればそうしてくれるだろう。なお飛ぶ前には数分間のイメージビデオと簡単なレッスンがあるが、いかなる事故の責任も問わない旨の契約を結ぶので、やるやらないは自己責任。体調に不安がある人は、事前に医者に診てもらうことをお勧めする。

June 25, 2011: My first and probably last skydiving! I want to praise myself for doing well... Anyway, 1. Fear of heights doesn't really matter 2. There’s no G-force like on a roller coaster, and you don’t feel that floating sensation 3. The instructor is reliable, and you can experience it without any anxiety 4. The rapid descent changes the air pressure quickly, so your ears might hurt a bit 5. I think those who participated should definitely order the DVD 6. For those who haven't experienced it yet, those who are hesitating, and those who are unsure, I highly recommend participating (please consider the risks carefully).

We participated as a couple. My wife was initially anxious about joining, but once we got into the enclosure, she found the sharks to be beautiful and realized they were a safe species that doesn't attack humans, so she enjoyed the unique experience.
Even though small fish were swimming nearby, the sharks showed no signs of wanting to eat them, which might have been a bit disappointing in terms of excitement. We both talked about wanting to see more dangerous sharks like great white sharks next time.
We brought a disposable underwater camera, but it was difficult to take pictures because of the waves. I wish we had bought a waterproof case for a digital camera so we could take a lot of pictures while looking at the screen.
夫婦で参加しました。
妻は当初参加に不安でしたが、檻に入ってみると鮫はきれいで、鮫は人を襲わない安全な種類と分かったので、珍しい体験を楽しんでいました。
鮫は小魚が近くを泳いでいても食べる気配なしで、迫力という点では、ちょっと物足りないかも。
夫婦二人とも次はホオジロザメのような危ない鮫を見たいねと話していました。

The waves were high, so it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. On the boat, I was swaying, and during the experience, I was swaying with the waves as well. When I saw the shark, I was surprised and scared, even though I knew it was coming. They provided a Japanese explanation for the Japanese guests. Since there wasn't anyone among the boat staff who could speak Japanese fluently, basic English conversation skills are necessary for communication.
波が高かったのもあり、酔い止め薬は飲んでおいたほうが無難です。船でゆらゆら、体験中も波にゆらゆらでした。
サメを見たときは、わかっていても驚いて怖かったです。

We participated as a couple. It was my husband's wish to join, and we had a really great time! I definitely recommend the course that has the longest airtime and goes the highest!
It gets cold up there. Also, the belts are quite tight, so I recommend wearing clothing that has some length around the shoulders and thighs. I wore a short-sleeve T-shirt and a long-sleeve shirt, but I ended up with light marks on my arms. If you have long hair, make sure to bring a hair tie! My hair is about shoulder length, and since I forgot a hair tie, it got really tangled after the flight.
You can land on both feet on the grass. I noticed that a few men landed on their bottoms (including my husband), so it might depend on the weight distribution with the instructor.
The mention of "long wait times" seems to refer to the editing time for those who requested DVDs. Still, during our time, there were 10 participants and 5 DVDs, and we were able to return to Waikiki around 12:30.

そもそも夫の希望で参加しましたが、す~ご~く楽しかった!
絶対、滞空時間の長くなる、一番高く上がるコースをおすすめします!
上空は寒いです。またベルト類をぎっちり締めつけるので、肩口や腿の部分はある程度長さのある衣類をオススメします。
私は半袖T&長袖シャツでしたが、腕の付け根に軽く跡がつきました。
髪の長い方はヘアゴムを!私は肩ぐらいの長さですがヘアゴムを忘れたため、飛び終わった後は髪が絡まりまくって大変でした。。
芝生地に両足で立って着地させてもらえます。
見ていると男性はお尻からのかたが数人いたので(うちの夫も)、インストラクターさんへの加重にもよるのかもしれません。

My new husband and I booked a private ride with the Hawaii Polo Club while on our honeymoon. I've been on several other guided horseback trail rides in the past, but this was a little different. For one thing, the horses are actually polo-horses, not the standard "follow-the-leader" horses of a typical ranch. Because of this, you are better off if you have at least a little experience in handling horses. There were a few times that loud noises or unfamiliar things on the path caused some skittishness.
One thing that made me a little uncomfortable was that my activity voucher said we would need to sign a liability waiver before the ride. I assume this is a standard practice, but the staff at the club just saddled up our horses, and off we went. No forms, no waivers, they didnt even tell us their names, nor did they ask ours. Good thing (for them) our slightly skittish horses didnt dump us on our heads.

The usual choice for horseback riding was Kualoa Ranch, but since the reviews for their horseback riding weren't very good, I searched online and found this ranch that offers a tour with transportation included. I had been using Alan for optional activities in Hawaii, so I made a reservation.
The horses here are very smart, and even beginners can enjoy horseback riding with peace of mind. They walk at a very leisurely pace, which might be a bit unsatisfying for experienced riders, but I was able to take photos with one hand while enjoying the scenery in the mountains.
The trail goes through some very enchanting trees, and the view of the North Shore from the top of the mountain was absolutely beautiful.
I think it's definitely an experience worth having when you visit Hawaii.
乗馬の出来る牧場はクアロア牧場とお決まりでしたが、乗馬の評判はあまりよくないので、ネットで検索していたらこちらの牧場で送迎つきのツアーを見つけました。以前からハワイのオプショナル利用はアランを使っていたので予約しました。
ここにいる馬達はとても賢くて初心者でも安心して乗馬が楽しめます。とてもゆつくりしたペースで歩くので経験者には物足りないかもしれませんが山の中の景色を楽しみながら片手で写真を撮ることもできました。

We gathered locally and took the bus. We went from the hotel to Ala Moana Center, transferred to bus number 52, and I made sure to tell the driver "Haleiwa Small Boat Harbor" to confirm where to get off, arriving just in time for our meeting. We waited quite a while for the bus at Ala Moana Center. There was only one other group of Japanese people besides us, and everyone else on the boat was foreign, making it quite international. As I saw on Alan Net, we were handed a file with notes written in Japanese, but all the explanations were in English. However, they demonstrated how to enter the water with gestures, so if you watch, you can manage. We moved out to sea for about 10 to 15 minutes, and the waves were quite rough. I get motion sickness easily, and even though I took motion sickness medicine, I still felt quite nauseous. We entered the cage four at a time. I was really looking forward to it, so even though I felt unwell, I stayed underwater longer than others, hoping to finally see a shark. Unfortunately, while there were a few small fish nearby, I only caught a glimpse of a small baby shark passing by far below, and I hardly saw any sharks at all, so I ended up getting a sticker and a refund... But the staff were very nice, so I definitely plan to try again next time. On the way back, we strolled around Haleiwa before heading home.
私達は、現地集合にしてバスで行きました。
ホテルから、アラモアナセンターまで行き、乗り換えて52番のバスに乗り、一応運転手に”ハレイワ・スモールボートハーバー”と伝えて降りる場所を教えてももらって無事集合時間ギリギリに到着しました。
アラモアナセンターからバス来るまで結構待ちました。
私達以外の日本人は1組だけで、他は皆船は外国人で国際豊かでした。
アランネットで見たとおり、注意事項など日本語で書かれたファイルを渡されるくらいで説明は全部英語でしたが、ジェスチャーで海への入り方を説明されるので、見てればなんとかなります。
沖まで10分~15分位まで移動し、波も中々の揺れで、乗り物に弱い私は酔い止め飲んでも結構酔いました。
檻の中には4人づつ入りました。
楽しみにしていたので、具合悪い中でも念願のサメに会えると張り切って人より長く海にもぐってましたが、何匹か小魚は近くにいたものの、残念ながらサメはかなり深く遠くの下の方に小さく子サメ?が通り過ぎただけでほとんど見れず、ステッカーをもらって返金になりました・・・
でもスタッフの方々はとてもいい人たちだったので、また次回、絶対挑戦しようと思ってます。

We have never been whale watching before - we loved this first time experience! Captain Ryan and crew were great! They not only managed to help us see several whales (one baby just kept breaching - we have great pictures!) but we also were treated to turtles and spinner dolphins! When they lowered their microphone into the water and we heard the whales talking - it was just a huge bonus to a wonderful trip! We will definitely look them up if we get back to Oahu!!
