All Reviews for North Shore from the Air

I tend to get motion sickness easily, so I took some anti-nausea medication before the challenge. I requested the instructor not to spin, but unnecessary spinning was repeated, and I started to feel unwell.

酔いやすいタイプのため酔い止めを服用してチャレンジしました。
インストラクターに回転させないようにリクエストしましたが、不必要な回転を繰り返され気分が悪くなりました。

The scenery I experienced was incredible, something I had never seen before. I got to see Oahu and the ocean from above! After becoming a parachutist, I had fun spinning around to the right and left, and I felt a bit dizzy. During the descent, my ears hurt due to the pressure change!

I'm not fluent in English, but they used a translation app during check-in, and the explanations weren't difficult to understand.

Perhaps because it was the weekend, I received an email saying that the morning pickup would be delayed by about 45 minutes due to traffic, and it actually arrived 45 minutes late. It said the participation time was 4-5 hours, but from gathering to returning, it took about 6 and a half hours. I had anticipated something like that in advance, so it wasn't a problem at all.

The instructor was also a fun person, and there were many participants from Japan, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere!

体験したことのない景色素晴らしかったです。
オアフ島と海を上から見ました！パラシュートになってから、右に左に楽しくぐるぐる回り、少し酔いました。落下時、気圧で耳が痛いです！
英語堪能ではないですが、チェックインでも翻訳アプリを使ってもらえて、説明も難しいことはなかったです。
土日だったからか、朝、送迎が渋滞で45分ほど遅れるとメールが来て、実際に45分遅れで来ました。参加時間は4-5時間と書いてありましたが、集合から帰着まで6時間半ほど。あらかじめそんなものかなと思っていたので、特に問題ありませんでした。
インストラクターも面白い方で、日本からの参加の方も多く、雰囲気よくわいわい楽しみました！

I participated with my son, and neither of us speaks any English at all. However, the staff communicated cheerfully and clearly, so we managed just fine.

1. We were picked up by a van behind the Hyatt Regency. Besides us, there was one couple and one solo participant each of a man and a woman. We arrived at the skydiving airfield in about an hour.

2. After getting off the van, we headed to the check-in counter. There were about eight tablets for registration, and everything was in English, so we used our smartphones to check the content with the translation feature. The key points included:
- Acknowledgment that skydiving is dangerous.
- Agreement to follow the instructor's instructions.
- Acceptance of personal responsibility in case of an accident.
We had to agree to all of this to proceed, so we accepted everything.

3. After checking everything and signing, we moved to the staffed counter. There was a staff member who spoke Japanese, but we chose to communicate with the English-only staff. Here, we were asked if we wanted to add any options. Regardless of options, we had to pay a fuel surcharge of $15 per person. Payment could be made by card or cash (by the way, there was also an ATM available).

4. We received papers to hand to the instructor and the cameraman and then moved to the waiting area. Our names and the instructor's name were displayed on the monitor. After a while, the instructor greeted us cheerfully and explained the important points:
- Grab the harness at the moment of jumping (imagine wearing a backpack).
- While falling, arch your back like a banana. "Banana!" is the catchphrase.
- When your shoulder is tapped, spread your arms.
- For parachute landing, lift your legs, or rather your knees, up.
Although everything was in English, responding with "Yes! OK! Good!" was sufficient.

5. Then we waited for the plane, boarded in order, and took off into the sky. It was a bit chilly up there, but I didn't mind due to the excitement and nervousness.

6. Inside the plane, I connected my harness to the instructor's and put on goggles. When it was my turn, I moved to the opening and jumped on the count of 3, 2, 1. In an instant, I was in free fall, headfirst. After that, I arched my back for stable free fall and enjoyed the view with my arms spread wide.

7. Then the parachute opened. At this point, I felt a sudden increase in G-force and experienced sharp turns, which made me feel a bit dizzy. While battling the dizziness, I enjoyed the scenery, and as we got closer to the ground, I lifted my knees for landing. I was surprised at how suddenly we landed.

8. After landing, we returned to the waiting area, where the instructor gave us:
- A skydiving certificate
- A commemorative eco bag
- Two envelopes for tips (one for the instructor and one for the cameraman)
We put $10 to $20 per person in the envelopes and dropped them in a transparent box, and that was it.

9. We got back into the van that picked us up and returned to Waikiki. When we got out of the van, the driver asked, "Is your smartphone an iPhone?" and said, "If it's an iPhone, I'll send you the video via AirDrop." He filmed us getting on the Cessna and coming down with the parachute and gifted us the footage! We were so thrilled. I gave the driver a $10 tip, and that was the end of it.

10. On the same day, photos and videos were sent to the registered email address. There were over 100 photos, so we had plenty of great moments to choose from. The video was edited, so we could enjoy it right away.

Although it cost money for two people, choosing the option with the cameraman was definitely the right decision! Being able to look back at myself in free fall multiple times is the best!!!

I am a 58-year-old woman with acrophobia. What does it feel like to jump from above the clouds? I was interested in experiencing something extraordinary, and I thought there might be times in the future when I would want to try it but wouldn't have the physical strength. This led me to experience it with my husband.

When jumping from the Cessna, fear definitely took over, but I realized that my acrophobia didn't matter at all. The instructor communicated with me through reassuring words and gestures, which made me feel at ease and not anxious.

The only trouble I had was with filling out the waiver, as everything was in English. It took some time using my smartphone's translation app, but I managed to get through it without any issues.

One disappointing point was the transportation. While the pickup was at a designated location, I was dropped off at a completely different place. If I had known in advance, I could have prepared for it, but it felt like I was suddenly told to get off here! (There was someone who translated for me, so I understood the situation.) Since it was only the second day after arriving, I was in a "Where am I?" state. Thankfully, I had Google Maps, but it would have been nice to receive prior notice if the drop-off location was going to change.

Aside from the transportation issue, it was a valuable experience, and it was amazing!

高所恐怖症の58歳(女性)です。
雲の上から飛び降りる感覚とは？
非日常を体験したい興味、今後やってみたいと思った時に体力が伴わない場合もあるのでは？と思ったのがきっかけで主人と2人で体験させてもらいました。
セスナから飛び降りる時は、さすがに恐怖が勝ちましたが高所恐怖症は全く関係ないな。と思いました。インストラクターの方が安心できるように声掛けとジェスチャーでコミュニケーションをとって下さったので不安は感じませんでした。
困ったのは誓約書などの入力、全て英語なので大変でしたがスマホの翻訳機を使い時間はかかりましたが問題なくできました。

残念な点は、送迎…迎えは指定された場所なのに、降ろされた場所は全く違う所だったこと。
事前に分かっていれば対応できたのですが、急にここで降りて！！みたいな感じで降ろされました。(通訳してくださった方が居たので理解できた状況)
着いて2日目だったこともあり、ここ何処？？状態です。Googleマップがあったのでなんとかなるものの、送迎の場所が変わるのであれば事前にお知らせがあると良かったなと思いました。
送迎の事以外は貴重な経験が出来てサイコーです。

I was fitted with a harness by the instructor, while other instructors were taking photos in front of the sign and communicating. However, when they realized I was Japanese and couldn't speak much English, they quickly went behind the scenes and didn't come out again.

As others moved, we headed to the waiting area before boarding the plane. The instructor arrived late and took photos in front of the outdoor sign. After that, we waited for boarding, during which a GoPro was recording, resulting in 1,659 images sent to us that were mostly irrelevant. Two-thirds of the total images were just random shots taken without permission.

I understand that the energy levels vary among instructors, but if the images are just for counting, I don't need them. The data was downloaded without consent.

At the reception, there was a Japanese woman who was reassuring and attentive, which made me feel at ease.

Overall, it was a valuable experience that is hard to come by.

インストラクターにハーネスを着けてもらい、他のインストラクターは、看板前で撮影等して、コミュニケーションをしていたが、日本人で英語がそれぼど話せないと分かると、すぐ裏へ帰り出て来ない。
他の人達が移動するので飛行機搭乗前の待機場へ移動すると、遅れてインストラクターが来て、外の看板前で撮影。その後、飛行機搭乗まで待機しているが、その間GoPro回っていて、送られた画像1659枚がその時のどうでもいい画像。トータル三分のニの画像が、無断な数合わせの画像でした。
インストラクターによって、テンションが違うのは、分かるが数合わせの画像なら、いらない。データダウンロードの無断です。

受け付けには、日本人女性がいらっしゃて、安心、親身に対応して、いただきました。

体験としては、なかなか体験出来ない貴重な体験をさせていただきました。

My first skydiving experience in my life! It was a bit scary, but more than that, I felt the wind of Hawaii and felt like I became a bird. It was an absolutely amazing feeling!

人生初のスカイダイビング！　ちょっと怖かったですが、それよりもハワイの風を感じて鳥になった気分になれて、最高に気持ちよかったです！

Even though I took motion sickness medication, I still felt nauseous and ended up vomiting after landing. Also, because of the rapid descent, I didn't have the chance to equalize my ears, and they became extremely painful. I couldn't even enjoy the scenery and ended up forgetting about it, so I recommend buying the video, even though it's expensive.

酔い止めを飲んでも酔って地上に降りてから吐きました。また、急降下するので耳抜きをする余裕もなく、めちゃくちゃ耳が痛くなります。景色を楽しむ余裕もなく忘れてしまうので、高いですが動画を買うのをおすすめします。

My 18-year-old son had an experience. At first, he seemed nervous, but from the moment he jumped, he was smiling the whole time and said it was a wonderful experience. For several days, he couldn't calm down from the excitement and said he definitely wants to jump again. The person in charge was also very nice, so we will be using this service again next time.

18歳の息子が体験しました。
最初は緊張していたようですが、飛んだ瞬間から終始笑顔で素晴らしい経験ができたと喜んでいます。
数日間は興奮冷めやらずで、また絶対に飛ぶそうです。
担当の方もとても良い方だったようで次回もこちらでお世話になります。

My First Skydiving Experience
I was really nervous before jumping, but while I was flying, the exhilaration was incredible; it was truly the best!

初めてのスカイダイビング
飛び出す前はドキドキでしたが、飛んでいる時は爽快感がすごく、本当に最高でした！

The instructors were all kind and many of them were interesting. The sea, mountains, and islands looked beautiful from above, and I was truly moved.

インストラクターさんもみんな優しく、面白い方が多い印象でした。上空から見る海、山、島どれも綺麗で感動しかなかったです。

I had some trouble with the initial input process, but there was someone at the reception who spoke Japanese, so I was able to complete the procedures somehow.

27 years ago, when I went skydiving in Hawaii, it was really exhilarating, but this time, both my spouse and I started to feel dizzy during the freefall and experienced a bit of motion sickness. My buddy was very kind and made me feel safe during the dive, but the spinning in the air was quite tough.

We felt our age a bit and couldn't enjoy it as much, but it turned out to be a good experience for the second time.

始めの入力作業に手間取ってしまったのですが、受付に日本語ができる方がいてなんとか手続きできました。
27年前にハワイでスカイダイビングした時は、とってもだの覚めたのですが、今回は、夫婦共にダイブ後の空中遊泳中に目が回り始めてしまい、やや乗り物酔いをしてしまいました。バディは、とっても親切で安心してダイブできたのですが、くるくる空中遊泳は、辛かったでした。
私たちは、老いを感じ少し楽しめませんでしたが、2度目の良い重艶になりました。

It was so much fun, and I'm really glad I did it! For those who are hesitating, you absolutely should experience it! ✨ A few years ago, I couldn't do it, and it had been on my mind ever since. So, during this trip to Hawaii, I decided that no matter what, I would go skydiving!

At 6:40 AM, a shuttle arrived to pick us up in Waikiki. After stopping at two locations, there were a total of 10 of us in the van. We arrived at the site in about an hour. There were various languages being spoken in the van, which added to the experience (Japanese, Chinese, American).

Upon arrival, we checked in and entered the necessary information on an iPad. Once that was done, we waited on a bench. *I got bitten by a bug during this time, so it might be good to have something like Muhi (anti-itch cream) on hand.

When it was our turn, my name was displayed on a board, and the instructor helped me put on the gear. The person assisting me would be the one jumping with me. I was worried because I didn't understand English well, but the instructors are used to dealing with Japanese participants, so it was fine.

After that, we boarded the Cessna and went up into the sky. I enjoyed the view while waiting excitedly for the moment 💓. After that, I just had to trust the instructor and jump together. Make sure to keep your eyes open and enjoy the beautiful sky and ocean of Hawaii! ✨ After the parachute opens, they will even teach you a bit about steering.

I recommend taking photos and videos (I keep looking back at them with nostalgia). I was surprised that the instructor was wearing sandals, but since they are experienced, I felt safe until landing (*•̀ᴗ•́*)👍. Once everyone had completed their dives, they took us back to Waikiki.

We arrived at the hotel around 11:40 AM, so it felt like we spent the whole morning on this adventure. I hope everyone gets to have a fun experience too! ✨

楽しすぎて本当にやって良かったー♬.*迷っている方は絶対！絶対体験した方が良いです✨
数年前に訪れた時、やれなかったのがずっと心残りで、今回のHawaii旅行では何がなんでもスカイダイビングはやろう！と決めて参加しました。
その際、ベルトラの体験談がとても参考になったので、どなたかの参考になれば幸いです。

6時40分にワイキキへ送迎車が来てくれました。その後2箇所経由してバンには計10名で乗り合わせ。1時間ほどで現地に着きました。車内では色んな言葉が飛び交っておりこれも良い体験になりましたw(日本人、中国人、アメリカ人)
到着後、受付し、iPadで必要事項の入力。終わったらベンチがあるのでそこで待機。
※この時虫に刺されました💦【ムヒ】などあると良いでしょう。

順番になると掲示板に自分の名前が表示され、インストラクターの方が器具を装着してくれます。この時対応してくれる方が一緒に飛んでくださる方になります。英語が分からなくて不安でしたが、インストラクターの方も日本人の対応に慣れているので大丈夫です。
その後セスナに乗り込んで上空まで。景色を楽しみながらワクワクドキドキその時を待ちます💓
後はインストラクターに任せて一緒に飛ぶだけ(^^)
目を閉じないように、Hawaiiの綺麗な空と海をちゃんと楽しんでください✨
パラシュートが開いてからは軽く操縦も教えてくれますよ
写真とビデオ撮影おすすめします。(余韻で見返してますw)
インストラクターがサンダルだったのでビックリしましたが、ベテランの方でしょうから着地まで安心して大丈夫です(*•̀ᴗ•́*)👍
同乗者全員のダイブが終わりましたらワイキキまで送迎してくれます。
11時40分頃ホテルに着いたので、ざっと午前中いっぱいの感じでした。
皆様も楽しい体験を是非✨

I've always thought that I wanted to try skydiving at least once in my life, but I was scared. In the end, I went for it and it was so much fun!!! Just thinking about the moment I jumped still makes me shiver, but once I was falling, it was enjoyable, and I got to see so many beautiful views. Also, I feel like I became stronger from the experience, haha. I don't think I'll regret jumping! It's definitely a memory to cherish from Hawaii ♡

人生で1回はスカイダイビングしてみたいけど怖い、とずっと思っていましたが、結局飛んでめっちゃ楽しかったです！！！
降りる瞬間のことは今思い出しただけでも震えますが、落ちてからは楽しくて、景色もいっぱい見れました。あとなんか、飛んだことで強くなった気がします笑　飛んで後悔はないと思います！ハワイの思い出にぜひ♡

My son experienced it. He said the scenery was really beautiful and he had a lot of fun. However, after spinning around and floating, his first words when he got off were, "I feel sick... tears."

息子が体験しました。とーっても景色が良くて楽しかったようです。しかし、ぐるんぐるん回転したり、ふわふわしたり…降りての第一声は「酔った…涙」でした。

I finally challenged myself to the skydiving I've always dreamed of. At first, I was nervous, but once I jumped, I experienced much more airtime than I had imagined, and I was truly moved by the breathtaking views and thrills.

The instructor who guided me was very friendly, and since I got to experience handling the controls, it felt great to not just be "flying," but to really feel like I was "participating" in the experience!

On the day of the jump, there is about a 30-minute wait from arrival until the jump, and another 30 minutes from landing until you leave, so it's a good idea to bring a mobile charger.

Regarding tips, there was a suggested amount written on the envelope given at the end, so I used that as a reference when I gave my tip.

It does take a bit of courage, but the unforgettable experience is worth it, so I highly recommend it for anyone looking to create special memories in Hawaii.

ずっと憧れていた念願のスカイダイビングに挑戦しました。
最初は緊張しましたが、いざ飛んでみると想像以上に滞空時間があり、景色もスリルも存分に楽しめて本当に感動しました。

担当してくれたインストラクターさんはとてもフレンドリーで、ハンドル操作を体験させてくれたこともあり、ただ飛ぶだけでなく「参加している」感覚が良かったです！

当日は到着してから飛ぶまで、また着地してから帰るまでにそれぞれ30分ほど待ち時間があるので、モバイル充電器を持っていった方がいいです。

チップについては、最後に渡される封筒に目安金額が記載されていたので、それを参考にしてお渡ししました。

少し勇気は要りますが、それ以上に忘れられない体験ができるので、ハワイで特別な思い出を作りたい方にはぜひおすすめしたいです。

It was truly amazing! If you're hesitating, definitely give it a try. It's not at a height that would be scary even for those with a fear of heights, so I can't really say. You don't need to understand English to enjoy it! The weather was great on the day, and I was only worried about the motion sickness mentioned in the reviews, but I had no symptoms at all. It was just pure fun!

本当に最高でした！
迷われている方、是非飛んでみて下さい。
高所恐怖症でも怖いというレベルの高さでは無いので、もはや分からないです。
英語が分からなくても大丈夫です！
当日は天気も良く、口コミにある酔いだけが心配でしたが、症状も全く無く、ただただ楽しかったの一言でした。

I was able to swim through the vast sky, and the contrast with the blue ocean was amazing. The instructors were all cheerful and had great energy!

大空を空中遊泳ができ、青い海のコントラストも最高でした。インストラクターも皆さん陽気でノリもサイコー

上から見る世界、そして私の人生で最も危険な瞬間。
フリーフォールのスリルと、果てしない景色の美しさ。
恐怖が畏敬の念に変わる瞬間—私はそれを決して忘れないでしょう。
ありがとう。

The world from above, and the most dangerous moment of my life.
The thrill of freefall, and the beauty of the endless view.
A moment when fear turns into awe—I’ll never forget it.
Thank you.

My first skydiving experience was amazing, as I got to enjoy the breathtaking views of Hawaii from the sky!

I felt no fear at all and was able to fly while being healed by the beautiful sea, sky, and islands of Hawaii, along with the pleasant breeze. There were many Japanese participants, and since we supported each other with any uncertainties, I didn't have to worry about the language barrier.

On the day of the jump, I had the option to choose a higher altitude for the dive when making the payment. After jumping, we descended slowly with the parachute, giving us more floating time than I had imagined, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy the scenery. However, jumping from a higher altitude seems like it would provide an even more exhilarating experience!

I definitely want to try skydiving again!

人生初のスカイダイビング、ハワイの絶景を空から満喫できて最高でした！

恐怖感は一切なく、美しい海と空とハワイの島、心地良い風に癒されながら飛ぶことができました。
日本人の参加者が多く、わからない部分は参加者同士でサポートしてもらいながら準備できたので言語の心配はありませんでした。

当日支払い時にもオプションで飛ぶ高度を上げるか選べました。
飛んでからゆっくりパラシュートで降りていくので、浮遊時間は想像以上よりは長く、じっくり景色を楽しむ事ができますが、高い方がより爽快感が味わえそうです！

ぜひまたスカイダイビングに挑戦したいです！

I was moved by the breathtaking scenery beyond my imagination!! The person who picked me up and the instructor who took care of me were both cool and had wonderful smiles, which was a treat for the eyes ^ ^ I want to fly again◎ Thank you very much!

想像以上の絶景に感動します！！
送迎してくれた方も
担当してくれたインストラクターの方も
かっこよくて笑顔が素敵で
目の保養になりました^ ^
また飛びたいです◎
ありがとうございました！

I have a fear of heights, so I was really nervous when I got on the Cessna and went up into the sky. When it was time to jump, the instructor encouraged me, and before I knew it, I was flying! The view was amazing, absolutely the best!

It's a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand, as some people did get sick. As for the instructors, it seems like there can be a mix. We participated as a pair, and one instructor took a lot of photos and was very encouraging, while the other one was a bit cold, haha.

高所死恐怖症もあり、セスナに乗って上空まで行く時はドキドキでした。
飛び降りる時はインストラクターさんがすすめてくれるので気づいたら飛んでいました！
眺めも良く最高ですよ！！！
酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が無難です。酔ってる方もおられました。
インストラクターさんは当たり外れがあるかな。2人で参加しましたが、片方は写真をたくさん撮ってくれたり声をかけたりしてくれる方で、もう1人は塩対応でした笑

With an instructor, I boarded a Cessna and went diving! The view was just like looking out of the small airplane window, above the clouds. One by one, we took off, and before I knew it, it was my turn! I felt no sense of reality about diving because we were so high up, and then suddenly, we jumped. We dove straight down, spreading our arms and legs into the diving position. Even while descending rapidly, I had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery. After a while, the parachute opened, and we descended gently. I savored the views over the mountains and the ocean. It's something I wouldn't do in Japan, but I found the courage to dive because it was Hawaii. I was filled with anxiety right up until the moment, but I'm glad I did it.

インストラクターとペアで、セスナに乗り込みダイビング！景色は飛行機の小窓からみる景色と同じで雲の上。次々と飛び立ちあっという間に自分の出番！高すぎてこれからダイビングをする実感がないまま一瞬で飛びました。一気に急降下し、手と足を広げてダイビングのあの形に。急降下してても景色を見る余裕は全然ありました。しばらくするとパラシュートが開き、緩やかに下降。山の上、海の上を堪能。日本ではやらないですが、ハワイだからこそやる勇気が出たダイビング。直前まで不安でいっぱいでしたが、やってよかったです。

I was worried after reading the low reviews, but I had a great time. The bus had bad reviews, but the driver was a cheerful guy. We took the bus and checked in upon arrival. The check-in was done on an iPad, but everything was in English, so I used a translation app to input my information. As long as you do the final check and sign properly, it seems like the rest can be done casually. If you accidentally press the home button, you have to start over, so I just kept pressing next.

After that, I received a paper to give to the instructor and waited. During this time, they mentioned a fuel fee of $15 per person and asked if I wanted to take photos or videos. I declined. When my instructor arrived, I received an explanation, but I didn't understand much. Luckily, there was a Japanese staff member who helped translate. The instructions included lifting my chin a bit, holding the harness, raising my legs and arching my back when we jumped, and spreading my arms wide when they tapped my shoulders as a signal to indicate I was ready. For landing, they explained not to extend my legs but to keep them lifted.

Then we waited for the helicopter, and they tried to sell us photos and videos again during that time. They approached me three times, but I declined each time.

Finally, it was time to jump! It was high, and I felt a bit scared, but as long as I screamed while jumping, I was fine. After the parachute opened, I felt really nauseous (I have a weak vestibular system and can't ride attractions like the Harry Potter ride at Universal Studios Japan).

Afterward, I received a certificate of completion and an envelope. I put a tip (I decided on $20) in the envelope and placed it in a clear box to finish up.

Regarding tips for the bus ride back, I noticed some people didn’t give any, but as mentioned in the reviews, when I gave $10, they were very grateful, so I recommend giving a tip.

Since I have a very weak vestibular system, I probably won’t do this again, but I'm glad I chose this place. There are additional costs for sales and payments, but aside from that, everything was good, so I’d rate it 4 stars.

低評価の口コミ見て心配になってましたがとても楽しめました。
バスの口コミが悪いですが陽気なおじさんでした。バスで向かい、到着後受付をします、iPadで受付ですが全部英語です、翻訳機能使いながら入力していきます、最後のチェックとサインだけしっかりしてあれば他は適当でも大丈夫そう。間違えてホームボタンとか押すと初めからなのでずっとネクスト押し続ける。
それからインストラクターに渡す紙もらって待機になります、その際に燃料費？？が1人15$かかるのと標高高くしませんか？写真動画とりませんか？の営業かけてきます。わたしは断りました。自分のインストラクターがきたら説明を受けます，，何言ってるかさっぱりでしたが日本人のスタッフさんいたので通訳してもらいました。少し顎をあげる、ハーネスを握る、飛んだら足をあげてエビゾリになる、肩をぽんぽん叩かれたら両手広げてOKの合図、着地の時は足を伸ばすんじゃなくて浮かしてって感じの説明です。
あとはヘリくるまで待機、その際にも写真動画の営業かけてきます、計３回かけてきましたが全部断りました。
あとは飛ぶだけです！高くて少しチビりそうでしたが奇声上げながら飛べば大丈夫です。パラシュート開いてからはもう気持ち悪くて無理でした(自分は三半規管弱くてUSJのハリーポッターとか乗れません)
終わったら飛んだ証明書と封筒を渡されます、封筒にチップ(10〜30$わたしは20$にしといた)を入れて透明のBOXにいれて終わりです。
帰りのバス降りるさいのチップですが渡してない人もいましたが口コミにある通り10$渡したらめっちゃ感謝してたのであげてください。
自分は三半規管弱すぎるので2度とすることはないですがここを選んでよかったと思います。
営業と、支払い以外のお金かかるのでそこ以外はよかったので⭐︎4って感じです。

This was my first trip abroad and my first time in Hawaii, and I participated alone!

The shuttle from the Honolulu area was easy to identify, as you can see in the photo! The driver was full of humor, and even though I couldn't speak English, I was able to communicate with him.

Upon arrival, we first checked in using a tablet, and then there was a fitting for the specialized equipment and a briefing about diving.

We took a propeller plane up to an altitude of 4000-5000 meters, so I wouldn't recommend wearing short sleeves and shorts if you're sensitive to the cold or not feeling 100%.

We started the dive with a countdown of 3.2.1.Go. We swung our bodies to the left and right during the countdown, and I really liked the speedy countdown, which felt like piston transport! Even if they were asked if they were ready and still said "No," some people were half-forced to say "Yes" and dive anyway.

During the dive, we descended from above the clouds towards the ground, so the unique gravity, wind, and visibility might be challenging for some. I love activities like this, so I wasn't scared or nervous at all, but I recommend trying it at least once for the experience.

It was an incredibly exciting skydiving experience, and I would do it again!

プロペラ機で上空4000-5000mまでいくので、寒がりな方や体調が100点でない場合は
半袖ハーパンなどはおすすめしません。

3.2.1.Goのカウントダウンでダイブを開始します。
左右に大きく体を振りながらカウントダウンをするのですが、
ピストン輸送のごとくかなりスピーディなカウントダウンなので私は好きでしたね笑
準備できたか？と聞かれてまだNoだとしても半強制Yesでダイブしていた方もいました

ダイブ中は雲の上から地表に向かっていくので、
独特の重力、風力、視界のため苦手な方もいそうです。
私はこういうアクティビティが大好きなので怖くもなく緊張もしませんでしたが、
経験のために一度は飛んでみることをおすすめします。

非常にエキサイティングなスカイダイビング、また飛びます！笑

This was my first experience with skydiving, and I was truly moved by the breathtaking 360-degree views of the ocean, mountains, and sky on the North Shore. My father, who is in his late 60s, was initially hesitant to participate, but afterward he smiled and said, "It was amazing," which made me really happy. I'm glad we opted for the video footage as well; my mother and wife, who didn't participate, were very pleased with it.

今回がスカイダイビング初体験でしたが、ノースショアの海、山、空が織りなす360度最高の景色に、心から感動しました。
60代後半の父も初めは参加を迷っていましたが、終わった後は「最高だった」と笑顔で、私も嬉しくなりました。
オプションのビデオ映像も付けて良かったです。参加しなかった母と妻がとても喜んでくれました。

The instructor was cheerful and kept us entertained throughout the experience! I forgot about my nerves and fears right up until the moment we jumped. The time spent in the air flew by, but it gave me emotions and excitement that I had never felt in my life before. It was my first skydiving experience that made me want to jump again in other regions.

インストラクターの方が陽気で終始楽しませてくれる方でした！
飛ぶ直前まで、緊張や恐怖は忘れていました。
飛んでいる時間はあっという間でしたが、これまでの人生にない感動と興奮を与えてくれました。
他の地域でもまた飛びたいと思わせてくれる初めてのスカイダイビング体験でした。

You absolutely must do this when you come to Hawaii! The scenery is so stunning that you might feel like you've stepped into a movie. It's a view you will never forget. The staff are all friendly and it's great. I want to do it again next time.

ハワイに来たら絶対やるべし！
映画の世界に迷い込んだかと思うぐらい圧巻の景色。
一生忘れない景色。
スタッフの方もみんなフレンドリーでGOOD
次もまたやりたいです。

I went skydiving once in Australia and got hooked, so this time I went skydiving in Hawaii! I was able to enjoy the breathtaking views of the beautiful ocean and mountains, fully immersing myself in nature!! I felt like I wanted to jump again right after finishing! Haha! This is definitely the number one activity that everyone should experience at least once in their life!!

オーストラリアで1回スカイダイビングをし、ハマったので今回はハワイでスカイダイビング！
最高に綺麗な海と山を眺めることができて自然を満喫できました！！
終わってすぐまた飛びたい！と思ったほどです笑笑
人生に一回は絶対に体験してほしいアクティビティNo. 1です！！

I really struggled with the decision to sign up. What if an accident happens...? However, as I read the reviews on this site, my anxiety faded, and I started to think that I would regret missing this opportunity, so I made a reservation.

On the day itself, to be honest, I didn't feel scared at all. I was just overwhelmed by the breathtaking scenery in front of me. The wind pressure was stronger than I expected, and I couldn't pose as instructed by the photographer, resulting in some embarrassing photos. But it was a once-in-a-lifetime memory. Looking at the shots that couldn't be captured by the instructor's camera, I felt it was worth having a photographer! I didn't experience the often-heard "it changed my perspective on life!" because it wasn't something I accomplished on my own. However, I did gain an emotional experience unlike anything I've had before!

申し込むまで本当に悩みました。もしも事故が起きたら…でも、このサイトの口コミ見ているうちに、不安が薄れて、この機会を逃したら後悔するって思い始め予約しました。
当日は正直怖さはなかったです。目の前に広がる景色に感動しかありませんでした。思った以上に風圧強く、カメラマンさんの指示通りポーズが出来ず、恥ずかしい写真もいっぱい。でも、一生に一度の思い出。インストラクターカメラでは撮影できないショットを見て、カメラマン付にして良かった！って思っています。よく聞く"人生観変わった！"というのは、私の場合はありませんでした。それは、自力で成し遂げたものではなかったからです。でも、今までに経験したことのない感動は得られました！

Skydiving was something I had always wanted to try. Since I wanted to do it, I decided to do it in the breathtaking scenery of Hawaii. There was a bit of a delay at the reception, but the staff were very kind and helpful. The instructor was humorous, and it was perfectly fine not to speak any English.

When it was time to jump, there was no hesitation; I was quickly falling out of the plane, regardless of my own will. I felt no fear at all; it was just amazing. After the parachute opened, we made several turns, which caused quite a bit of G-force and made me feel a bit nauseous. I felt a little sick for a while after landing.

Video and photo shooting is a must.

一度はやってみたかったスカイダイビング。
同じやるなら絶景のハワイで、ということでやってきました。
受付で手間取りましたがスタッフの方がとても親切に対応してくれました。
インストラクターの方もユーモアがあり英語が全くしゃべれなくても大丈夫です。
いざジャンプですが躊躇する間もなく自分の意志とは関係なく次々と飛行機から落ちていきます。まったく恐怖はなく、とにかくサイコーです。
パラシュートが開いてからですが何回か旋回をします。この時かなりＧがかかり酔います。
着地後しばらく気持ち悪かったです。
ビデオ＆写真撮影は必須です。
