All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Oahu

There is a venue on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, and I was able to find it without any trouble. As soon as I arrived and completed the check-in, I was able to participate in the lei ceremony right away. Since my spouse and I wore aloha shirts, we were able to take beautiful commemorative photos with the lei draped around our necks, which was great.

Because we had reserved VIP seats, we were also guided to the buffet with priority. The freshly made roast beef and whole roasted pig were juicy, tender, and very delicious! We also received two complimentary drinks, so we had more than enough to enjoy without needing to order additional ones.

After the meal, we moved to the theater room, which was about a 3-minute walk away, to watch the Hawaiian show. The authentic hula dance was breathtaking. Additionally, we were able to see sharp dance moves and a tribute to Michael Jackson up close, making it a very meaningful time.

Being able to enjoy both the meal and such a show, I think it was overall a highly cost-effective entertainment experience. I recommend participating at least once if you come to Hawaii!
*I participated using a limited-time monitor offer for a second person free.

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階に会場があり、迷わず行くことが出来ました。
到着して早々、受付を済ませるとそのままレイセレモニーをしてもらいました。
夫婦でアロハシャツを着用して行ったので、レイを首から下げて素敵な記念写真も撮ることが出来て良かったです。
VIP席で予約をしていたため、ビュッフェも優先的に案内してもらうことが出来ました。
出来立てのローストビーフや豚の丸焼きはジューシーで柔らかく、とても美味しかったです！
ドリンクも2杯まで付いてくるので、追加で注文しなくても十分楽しめました。
食後は徒歩3分ほどのシアタールームに移動して、ハワイアンショーを拝見しました。
本場のフラダンスは圧巻でした。
また、キレキレのダンスやマイケルジャクソンのオマージュも間近で見られて、とても有意義な時間でした。
食事とこれだけのショーを楽しむことが出来て、総じてとてもコストパフォーマンスが高いエンターテイメントだと思います。
ハワイに来たら一度は参加をお勧めします！
※【2人目無料】人数限定モニターを利用して参加しました。

Super fun and informative loved the small group feel and friendly staff went on turtle snorkel cruise and ended up having dolphins swim with and under the boat soo amazing!! Also snorkeled with many turtles. Been on many Hawaii cruises this one was the best!!

If you want a fun trip out into the water this is the place to book very reasonable for what you get the fireworks was not that long of a show but it was still very nice with music and a finale the crew was also so nice and fun they made the experience great I really recommend if your considering!

This was my second time.
The pick-up bus was about 10 minutes late, and the vehicle was small and cramped. The guide made excuses, saying, "There was an accident..." but the driving was rough until we arrived at Polynesian, and the guide (driver) seemed to get lost, which made me very anxious.
After arriving at the site, the guide walked ahead quickly, gave a brief explanation, and then dispersed us. It was really a haphazard tour.
The show was good, but I was dissatisfied because I couldn't explore any other areas at all...
We also visited a nearby building that made no sense for free... (I don't really understand the connection...)
It would be great if we could explore other areas in the afternoon as well.
Anyway, I thought the show was better than last time!

今回２回目です。
お迎えのバス(小)が約10分遅刻。且つ車は小さくて狭い。「アクシデントがあったので…」とガイドは言い訳をしていたが、ポリネシアンに着くまで運転は荒く、道を間違えるようなガイド(運転手)だったので、非常に不安でした。
現地到着後もガイドは一人でどんどん歩いていき、さっさっと説明し解散。本当に雑な案内でした。
ショーは良かったのですが、それ以外のエリアの見学が全く出来ず不満です…
また無料案内で近くの意味のわからない建物
の見学をしました…(よく関係がわかりません…)
午後からの見学でも他のエリアの見学が出来ると最高ですね
とにかくショーは前回よりも良いと思いました‼️

It was our first time and had a great experience! Thank you so much for everything!

It was a long-awaited trip to Hawaii with my daughter. She wanted to go to Hanauma Bay, which we visited many times when she was a child, so I tried to access the Hanauma Bay entrance site at 7 AM two days ago to make a reservation. However, as I was entering the information, the availability quickly disappeared, so I signed up with Veltra.

The price felt a bit high, but once we participated, we were impressed by the guide's thorough information and they took us to the outer reef, which we would have been worried about going to on our own. We encountered three sea turtles and had a wonderful time.

On the way back, we also received recommendations for nearby restaurants and local information, which made us very satisfied. During snorkeling, the guide was present both in front and behind our group, allowing us to enjoy it with peace of mind. I was also really pleased to receive the photos the guide took from Facebook.

If you're hesitating to sign up, I absolutely recommend it!

娘と久々のハワイの旅でした。
子供の頃に何度も行ってたハナウマ湾に行きたいと娘が言うので、2日前の朝７時からのハナウマ湾入場のサイトにアクセスして取ろうと思ったのですが、入力してるうちにみるみる空きが無くなってしまい、ベルトラさんに申し込みました。
料金は少し高い気がしたのですが、参加してみたらガイドさんの丁寧なインフォメーションと、自分達では行くのが心配になるリーフの外まで案内して頂き、ウミガメ3匹と遭遇
素晴らしい時間を過ごしました
帰りがけにも、ホテルに近いオススメのレストランや現地の情報も頂き、とても満足しました。
シュノーケリングの最中もグループの前後に、ガイドさんがいて下さるので、安心して楽しめました。ガイドさんが撮って下さった写真もFacebookから頂けて本当に満足しております。

申し込もうかと迷ってる、絶対おすすめです‼️

First, we started with a welcome drink. We toasted with a drink full of Hawaiian flavor, and since it was the first night of our trip, I was really excited. After that, we enjoyed a buffet meal. There were many Hawaiian dishes, and each one was delicious, which made me very satisfied. In particular, the whole roasted pig was impressive and tasty. During the meal, hula dancers performed in the middle of the tables, adding to the atmosphere. There was even a mini hula lesson. If you wanted to eat, it was perfectly fine to do so. Afterward, we had a dessert buffet and moved to the show venue. The show lasted over an hour, and I was very satisfied. At the end, we could take photos with the performers. Overall, it was a highly satisfying dinner show.

As a piece of advice for those experiencing this, you receive two drink tickets (separate from the complimentary welcome drink), which can be used at either the dining venue or the show venue. When we tried to order, we were told that the ordering time at the dining venue had passed, so we had to use them at the show venue. The dining venue has a wider drink menu and serves drinks in proper glasses, which enhances the experience. At the show venue, you can drink while watching the show, but the drinks come in takeout containers and the menu is limited. Please be aware that the drink order cutoff time at the dining venue is quite early.

まず初めにウェルカムドリンクからはじまりました。ハワイ感たっぷりのドリンクで乾杯し、旅の初日の夜だったのでとてもワクワクしました。その後、ブッフェで料理をいただきました。ハワイの料理もたくさんあり、どれも一つ一つおいしくてとても満足でした。特に、豚の丸焼きはインパクトもすごく、おいしかったです。料理の中盤からフラダンスの人たちがテーブルの真ん中でダンスしてくださったりして盛り上げてくれました。フラダンスのミニレッスンがあったりもします。食事したい方は食事してても大丈夫でした。その後デザートブッフェをいただき、ショーの会場に移動。ショーはたっぷり1時間以上みれてとても満足でした。最後に出演者の方と写真も撮れます。全体的にとても満足度の高いディナーショーです。体験される方にアドバイスがあるとすると、ドリンクチケットが2枚（無料の乾杯ドリンクとは別）にいただけるのですが、食事の会場とショーの会場どちらでも利用できます。私たちはオーダーしようとした時には食事会場のオーダー時間が過ぎていたため、ショーの会場で使用してくださいと言われました。食事会場の方がドリンクメニューが多いのときちんとしたグラスにいれてくれるので気分が上がると思います。ショーの会場ではショーを観ながら飲めるのですがテイクアウトの入れ物になるのとメニューが少ないです。食事会場のドリンクのオーダーストップは結構早めなのでそこだけ気をつけてください。

After the end of COVID, it's been a while since I've been to Hawaii! This was my first time enjoying live music while having a meal, and I was very satisfied with the Hawaiian music that resonated in my heart, the people who jumped in to dance hula, and the delicious food. I plan to sign up again next time.

コロナあけ久しぶりのハワイ！食事をしながらのライブ鑑賞は初めてて、心に馴染むハワイアンミュージック、飛び入りでフラを踊る人達と美味しい食事でとても満足しました。また次回申し込む予定です

The inside of the submarine was clean, and it was nice to see the ocean clearly through the windows. However, I only saw small fish and didn't encounter any large or unusual fish, or turtles at all. This is left to nature, so it's certainly not the fault of the tour, but it was disappointing. I wouldn't mind if the price were higher; I would like to be taken to a place where I can see various tropical fish and sharks.

潜水艦の中はきれいで窓からは海の様子がはっきり見えてよかったのですが、小さい魚ばかりで大きい魚や珍しい魚、亀などは全然みることはできませんでした。これは自然任せなので、決してこのツアーのせいではないのですが残念でした。料金は高くなっても構わないので、色々な熱帯魚やサメなどが見れる場所に連れて行って欲しいと思います。

We had an amazing time, it was a great experience for both of us, staff and musicians was very welcoming, thanks to the musicians guys for singing a birthday song for my man. It was a pleasure.

In the morning, we went on a Kaneohe Bay cruise, and surprisingly, the waves were quite high, causing some people to get soaked inside the boat. The guide was amazing!!! The lunch buffet featured tender and delicious pork and chicken. The calamansi and pineapple juice were also good. In the afternoon, we took a lot of photos at Jurassic Village, and it was a very satisfying day (✿^‿^).

午前は、カネオヘ湾クルーズ、思いのほか波が高く、船内に波がザバ〜ン・・びしょ濡れになった方も。ガイドさん最高！！！
ランチビュッフェは豚肉、鶏肉が柔らかくて美味しかった。カラマンシーとパイナップルジュースもgood。午後から、ジュラシックビレッジでたくさん写真を撮り大満足の1日でした(⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)

Good: the performers and MC where good. Bad: Food and Drink where minimum. Selection was limited. All seemed a little cheap. No quality drink choices. Best tequila was Cuervo Gold, really! What decade are we in. Ugly: the setting terrible. On a roof at the conference center. No ambiance. A conference room on the roof. Hilton could and should do better. I will not recommend. I picked this Luau mostly because of proximity to our hotel. That was a mistake. It was the worst experience of our week stay in Oahu.

We had the best time with this crew! My husband and I have done several sunset cruises in Hawaii and this one was by far at the top of the list! The crew was very fun, attentive, knowledgeable and kept the drinks flowing! What a great way to start or end your vacation!

And, we saw a full rainbow!!!

The location is on the fourth floor of a shopping center in the city center, making it very convenient. The Hawaiian cuisine was varied and very delicious. The whole roasted pig was the best! Additionally, the staff was very friendly and provided wonderful hospitality.

The show was indoors, so there was no worry about rain, and the sound system was impressive. Above all, all the performers were amazing! The Hawaiian dances and songs were, of course, great, but the performances of Elvis and Michael were just like the real thing and exciting. Michael's dancing was fantastic!

It was a performance that everyone, young and old, could enjoy, and my parents in their 70s reminisced and had a great time. We had VIP tickets and were seated in the front row, so we even got to shake hands during the performance. After the show, we were able to take photos with the performers outside, which made for a great memory of Hawaii.

I definitely want to recommend this to others.

場所は中心地のショッピングセンターの4階にあり、とても便利。
ハワイアン料理もバラエティあり、とてもおいしかった。豚の丸焼きも最高！また、スタッフがとてもフレンドリーで素晴らしいおもてなしをしてくれた。
ショーは、室内なので雨天の心配なく、音響も迫力があった。何より、すべてのパフォーマーが素晴らしかった！
ハワイアンダンスや歌はもちろんだが、プレスリーやマイケルのパフォーマンスは本物さながらで興奮した。マイケルのダンスが素晴らしかった！
老若男女楽しめるパフォーマンスで、７０代の両親も昔を懐かしみ楽しんでくれた。
私たちはVIPチケットで一番前の席にしてもらったので、パフォーマンス中に握手もしてもらった。観劇後は外で、パフォーマーと写真撮影もしてもらえたのでハワイの良い記念になった。
ぜひ他の人にもお勧めしたいと思った。

The staff was friendly and provided wonderful hospitality. The food included a variety of Hawaiian dishes, and it was delicious. Additionally, the show was more impressive than I expected. The Hawaiian dance, as well as the performances of Elvis and Michael, were incredibly authentic and fantastic. Since I was in the front row of the VIP section, I even got to shake hands during the performance, which really boosted my excitement. The seating is tiered, so I think even regular seats offer a good view. The location is conveniently in the city center, making access easy. I definitely want to recommend this to others.

スタッフが皆、フレンドリーで素晴らしいおもてなしでした。料理も色んなハワイアン料理が食べれて、美味しかったです。
また、ショーが想像以上に見ごたえありました。
ハワイアンのダンスはもちろん、プレスリーやマイケルのパフォーマンスは、本物さながらでとても素晴らしかったです。
VIP席で一番前だったため、公演中に握手もしてもらいテンションがあがりました。席は階段状のつくりなので、普通の席でも見やすいと思います。
場所も中心地の便利なところにあり、アクセスも良かったです。
ぜひ周りにもおすすめしたいです。

I didn't receive the VIP treatment I was expecting, but I appreciated how kindly everyone was treated, regardless of their category.

The show featuring impersonators of Elvis and Michael was, of course, impressive, but the local female singers also showcased remarkable vocal talent, making it a worthwhile experience. Among them, the final act with the fire knife was thrilling; I was worried they might get burned, but it was executed perfectly—truly impressive! Good job!!

The show's progression followed the calendar year, and the deep admiration for 'Iz' from Hawaii, who appeared on the screen at the end, made the entire performance even more moving.

期待していたほどのVIP待遇は受けませんでしたが、どのカテゴリーの人に対しても親切に対応されていたのは好感がもたれました。

プレスリーやマイケルのそっくりさんによるショーは、言わずもがなですが、地元の女性歌手の歌唱力も目を見張るものがあり、見応え十分でした。
中でも、最終演目のファイヤーナイフは、迫力満点で、やけどしてしまわないかとヒヤヒヤしましたが、完璧にこなされ、まさにあっぱれ！Good job‼︎

ショーの展開が暦年を追った演出になっており、最後にスクリーンに登場したハワイ出身の『イズ/IZ』に対する深い敬愛がひしひしと感じられ、ショー全体がより感動的なものに仕上がっていました。

It was good to go early as by the end we were sweating, couldn't imagine it being any later!

Lots of information given by the guide - it was a great way to step away from the hustle and bustle Waikiki provides.

First, we received a very clear and enjoyable explanation from the Japanese staff, and then we boarded the ship! The interior of the ship was very clean, and the donuts for a light snack were delicious. The banana boat ride was thrilling and a lot of fun. Personally, I wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and it was a great experience to do it in such beautiful waters. We were also able to enjoy warm drinks, and the staff were all very cheerful, energetic, and kind, making for a wonderful time.

最初に日本人スタッフさんによるとても分かりやすくて楽しい説明を受けていざ乗船！
船内はとても綺麗で軽食のドーナツもとても美味しかったです。
バナナボートはスリル満点でとても楽しかったです。
個人的にはSUPがやりたかったので綺麗な海でやることができとても良い経験になりました。
温かい飲み物もいただけたりスタッフのみなさんとても明るく元気で優しく素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。

I was very excited about my first real horseback riding experience, but I felt relieved to be able to watch a video guide in Japanese before riding. The staff were kind and taught me well, making it a fun horseback riding experience. The views of the vast mountains and the sea were absolutely amazing! Thank you for a wonderful experience. Make sure to use sunscreen, as areas like your shoulders and arms can get quite sunburned!

初めての本格的な乗馬体験にとてもドキドキしていましたが乗る前に日本語でのビデオガイドを見ることができ安心しました。
スタッフのかたも親切に教えてくれ楽しい乗馬体験となりました。
広大な山々や海の眺めはとても最高でした！
素晴らしい経験をありがとうございます。
肩や腕など肌が出てるところはかなり日焼けするので日焼け止め必須です！！

I chose this experience to create lasting memories for my friend's first trip to Hawaii. Two guides accompanied us, and the three of us—my friend and my husband—got into a five-person canoe. The location was the beach in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

First, we received a lecture on how to ride the outrigger canoe and how to hold the paddle on land. We pushed the outrigger canoe from the sandy beach into the sea. Then, we sat in designated spots in a line and started paddling out to the waves, waiting alongside the surfers. The instructions were given in Japanese, such as "Pull harder!" and "Opposite!" so we just kept paddling.

It was reassuring to have guidance on the wave points and timing. The view from the sea was incredibly beautiful compared to what we usually see from the beach. We rode three times, and it was harder than I expected. It was a lot of fun!

友人の初ハワイの思い出に残るように今回チョイスしました。
2人の方がアテンドして下さり、友人と私たち夫婦3人で5人乗りのカヌーに乗ります。
場所はロイヤルハワイアンホテル前のビーチから。
先ず陸地でアウトリガーカヌーの乗り方やパドルの持ち方をレクチャーしてもらいます。
5人で砂浜から海にアウトリガーカヌーを押して海に入ります。
そして縦列に仕切られている枠に座りパドルを漕ぎ出して波の向こうに行き
サーファー達と並んで波を待ちます。
濃いで！反対！早く！と指示は日本語で声がけしてくれますから、ひたすら漕ぎます。
波のポイントやタイミングもアテンドがあるので安心でした。
日頃はビーチから見る景色を海から見るのは凄く綺麗でしたよ。
3回ライドしましたが思った以上にハードでした。
楽しかったです。

I recommend this for people who enjoy horseback riding! It can be quite thrilling as you pass along the edge of cliffs. As a piece of advice, if you ride for about two hours, your backside might start to hurt, so if that's a concern for you, it's better to skip it! Also, there are times when the horse may not listen, so it's not recommended for those who are short-tempered!

馬に乗るのが好きな人にはオススメです！けっこう崖のギリギリのところとかも通るのでわりとスリルあります！
アドバイスとしてはわりと2時間乗ってるとお尻が痛くなるので嫌な人はやめた方が良いです！あと、馬が言うことを聞かない事もあるので短気な人にはお勧めしません！

The experience was fantastic. Out driver was skilled and knowledgeable with Hawai’i Lore. We had a great time, learned a lot. My entire family loved it.
Would repeat this experience a 100 times over.
Not sure if it matters but our driver’s name is Dante.
Best experience!!

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see traditional Hawaiian hula dancing and fire dancing. Before the show, there was a buffet-style dinner, but with the staff's signal, everyone rushed to get their food, creating a huge line. As a result, there wasn't much time, and it felt like we just made one round through the buffet. The roast beef was delicious.

The show started with hula dancing, followed by a medley of impersonators of Elvis and Michael Jackson, fire dancing, and songs from local singers, which was quite enjoyable. After the show, I was able to take pictures with the performers, which made for a nice memory.

Overall, I felt that just the show would have been enough.

今回ハワイの伝統フラダンスやファイヤーダンスが見たかったのでこのツアーを申し込みました。ショーの前にビュッフェスタイルの夕食がありましたが、スタッフの合図とともに皆一斉に料理を取りにいくため、すごい行列となり時間も無くなりビュッフェといっても一通り１周して終わりといった感じでした。料理内容はローストビーフが美味しかったです。
ショーはフラダンスから始まり、プレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのメドレーとファイヤーダンスや地元の歌手？の歌などでまずまず楽しめました。終了後出演者と写真を撮っていただよい記念になりました。
総合的な感想は、ショーだけでよかったと思いました。

I had a horseback riding experience for about two hours, with a great view while being taught how to ride. It wasn't just flat paths; we also went through many narrow trails that felt like cliffs, which made it enjoyable for the long duration. However, I think it does require quite a bit of physical stamina.

馬乗り方をレクチャーされて最高な景色の中で約2時間、乗馬体験ができました！平坦な道のりだけではなく崖のような狭い道も沢山通り長時間だったので楽しかったです。が、わりと体力は必要だと思いました。

The journey to get there and the actual submarine experience were both valuable and incredibly fun. The explanations were mostly in English. I was able to save the Japanese audio data in advance, but I think it would be more enjoyable to listen to the live English explanations on-site.

行くまでの道中も実際の潜水艦も貴重な体験でとっても楽しかったです。基本的には英語での解説でした。事前に日本語音声データを保存できましたが聴きながらではなくその場の英語の解説がより楽しめると思います。

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 reservation process was smooth, and the staff was excellent⭐︎ It gets quite wet, which is also great. The music, the wind, and the sea made for an incredibly happy time. My high school son and my 84-year-old parents were both thrilled⭐︎

予約もスムーズに出来て、スタッフも最高⭐︎
かなり、濡れます。それも最高。
音楽と風と海　最高に幸せな時間でした。
高校生の息子も、84才の，両親も感激してました⭐︎

I attended this tour with my mom, who is over 50 years old and does not know swimming at all. My mom was quite excited and worried about this tour, and was about to quit at the very first start, while Dan told us not to nervous, taught us how to breath with our mouth and even a little swim skills. After that, my mom and I succeeded to finish this tour and we saw a lot of different fish with Dan’s guide. That was fun. We really appreciate Dan for giving us such a perfect snorkeling experience, will try again when we visit Oahu again in the future, hope we could do better next time :D)))

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。
