Oahu
We used this service with my siblings. The instructor was very kind and great. The Japanese staff also guided us while driving us back, which was very nice. However, please note that tips for the instructor (around $20 per person) and the driver (around $10 per person) are required on-site, so be prepared for that. It's a valuable experience, so I highly recommend it.
兄弟で利用しました。
インストラクターの人はとても親切で良いです。
日本人のスタッフの方も帰りの車の中でガイドしながら送ってくれたりなど、とても良いです。
ただ、現地でインストラクター(1人20$程度)とドライバー(1人10$程度)へのチップが必要になりますので準備が必要です。
貴重な体験になりますのでオススメです
It was truly a great experience! They picked me up at the hotel before 6 o'clock and dropped me off at the hotel around 11 o'clock!
本当にいい体験でした!
6時前にホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、
11時頃にはホテルに送っていただきました!
I experienced my first trip to Hawaii and my first skydiving adventure! Our group was the first to go, and everything went smoothly from the briefing to boarding the Cessna and jumping out, leaving no time to feel anxious (^^;) The first skydiving experience was amazing, and the instructor kept engaging with us, making it a lot of fun.
After we returned, the instructor handed us a small envelope for tips, which we were to fill out and drop into a separate box for the instructors. I also purchased the photo and video combo, but it seemed that we didn't reach the required altitude this time, so I received a discount of just over $30 from the total price. Payment could be made in cash or by credit card.
After waiting for about 40 minutes, we took the shuttle bus back to the hotel. However, it seemed that the group that followed us landed in a different location than expected, and their driver had to go pick them up, which delayed our return a bit.
When I read reviews before going, I had some concerns, but there were no significant issues from start to finish, and I had the best skydiving experience! I definitely think it's something everyone should try when they visit Hawaii. Highly recommended!
初ハワイ旅行で、初スカイダイビングを体験してきました!
私達のグループはトップバッターでしたが、説明されてセスナに乗ってから飛び降りるまでトントン拍子で、不安を感じる暇もありませんでした(^^;)
初めてのスカイダイビングは最高で、インストラクターの方も何度も声をかけて楽しませてくれました。
チップは帰ってきた後にインストラクターの方から小さな封筒を渡され、そこにチップを入れてインストラクター別のポストに投函するというかたちです。
また、私は写真とビデオのコンボを購入しましたが、今回は高度が足りなかったようで、代金から30ドル強の値引きがされていました。購入は現金・クレジット共にOKでした。
そこから40分ほど待機してからホテルへのシャトルバスに乗りましたが、私達の後のグループの方々が予想着地点でない場所に着地したようで、その方々の迎えに同様の運転手の方が行っていたので、それがなければもう少し早くに帰れていたと思います。
レビューを見た時には所々不安な点がありましたが、最初から最後まで特に悪い点はなく、最高のスカイダイビング体験が出来ました!
ハワイに来た際には是非一度体験するべきだと思います。オススメです。
My 2nd skydive experience was wonderful. We arrived on time for the morning group and we were suited, jumped and out of there by 10:30. Didn't take as long as the other reviews made it seem. Our plane stalled while in the air, but it added to the excitement. We had a wonderful time. Kai was my instructor and he was great.
Vroom, go, shoo... It's a feeling you won't understand until you try it. Unbelievable. It's super fun!
ビューん、ごーっ、シャーッ、ふわっー、ふわー、シュー…。やってみなきゃわからない感覚。ありえない。ちょー楽しいデース。
I participated in this diving tour. The pickup time was accurate, and we were able to return early, which allowed us to make effective use of our time.
The diving instructions were thorough, and the instructors were all kind and fun, making it a安心 experience. I had a thrilling and valuable experience, and the view from above was very beautiful; I definitely want to do it again! We even saw whales from the airplane☆
Thank you very much.
こちらのダイビングツアーに参加させてもらいました。
ピックアップの時間も正確で帰りも早めに帰ることができて時間を有効に使えました。
ダイビングは説明もしっかりしていて、インストラクターの方も優しく楽しい方ばかりで安心してできました。
スリルある貴重な体験ができ、上空からの景色はとても綺麗でまた絶対やりたい!と思いました。飛行機からクジラも見えました☆
ありがとうございました。
For my first time, it was an amazing experience! Brad helped me stay calm, but also kept me hyped for my jump. He also let me control the chute and go through some really fun twists and turns. Would definitely recommend pacific skydive and might even go again next time I go to hawaii.
I was anxious about participating alone, but since I was with the instructor when flying, I didn't feel lonely at all.
Overall, it was just amazing! You will definitely regret it if you don't try it!
一人参加で不安でしたが、飛ぶ時はインストラクターさんと二人ですから
寂しさを感じることもありませんでした。
とにかく最高!のひとこと。
やらなきゃ絶対後悔します!
This is a wonderful experience in HAWAII. My mum was very affair before. She thought the door off helicopter is not safe. But when she have try. She said it's a wonder time in her life.
Josh was an amazing pilot who made us feel so safe! Our 7 year old daughter loved every minute! We only did 20 minutes and that was definitely not enough! We will be back!
Thank you so much for your review, Kelly! We appreciate the feedback. Thank you for choosing to experience Oahu with us, and we look forward to your return!
The ride was beautiful.. The best way to know all the island..
It was a beautiful view as we flew with the sunrise. There were a few clouds, but it was worth waking up early. When we took off, we went one after another, so there was no time to be scared. Instead of feeling fear due to the height, it was more about the beauty, and I didn't feel scared at all. The instructors were friendly and made me feel at ease.
日の出と共に飛んで、すごくキレイな景色でした。
少し雲はかかってましたが、朝早くから起きたかいがありました。
飛び出す時は次々と出て行くので怖がってる間もなく、あまりの高で怖いというより綺麗で恐怖は感じませんでした。インストラクターの人たちも気さくで安心できました。
I was able to experience skydiving, which I had wanted to try, at a quite reasonable price, and it became a wonderful memory. Since it's a group activity, the waiting time to jump and the time spent waiting for others to finish jumping can be quite long. I think it's better to plan on spending half a day for this experience.
やってみたかったスカイダイビングが結構安く体験できて、とてもいい思い出になりました。団体行動なので、飛ぶのを待つ時間やほかの方が飛び終わるのを待つ時間がとても長いです。半日はつぶれると考えて行動したほうがいいと思います。
There was a phrase in the driver's long story to the flight destination that perfectly captured this experience. I quoted it on social media:
"It feels like my whole body is boiling with blood."
Is this a Stephen King moment or what?
フライト地までの運転手の長い話の中に、まさにこの体験のこの表現しかない言葉がありました。SNS系で引用しました。
「全身の血が沸騰する感じ」
スティーブン キングかよ
This was a great ride. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Our pilot was wonderful and did a very good job of explaining everything during the trip. Would love to do it again some day.
I only spoke Japanese, but I managed to get by. Depending on the number of participants, I was able to leave earlier than the time indicated in the schedule, which was a great help since I had optional reservations afterward. It would be appreciated if you could also note that the schedule mentioned had some slight changes.
日本語しかはなせませんでしたが、何とか大丈夫でした。
参加人数によるのかもしれませんが、スケジュールで見ていた時間より、早く帰る事が出来て助かりました助かりました。その後もオプションを予約していたので。 記載されていたスケジュールとかちょっと変更になっていましたので、それも書いて頂けると、ありがたいと思います。
As I approached my 30th birthday, I decided to go skydiving with friends, making it the main event of our trip to Hawaii. We were picked up near our hotel before 6 AM and, after arriving at the center with other participants, we received a brief explanation before heading straight to the small plane.
The Russian instructor who was in charge of me, along with all the staff, was very friendly, which helped ease my nerves. I was surprised at how excited I felt, rather than anxious. As we gradually ascended, I did a final check with the instructor, put on my goggles, and off we went into the Hawaiian sky! Instead of feeling like I was falling, it felt more like I was floating in the air, which was astonishing! However, the strong wind pressure made it quite a challenge to wave my hands, yet I found myself smiling naturally and surprisingly relaxed. Breathing was manageable as long as I followed the instructor's guidance and kept my mouth slightly open.
Before I knew it, the parachute opened, and once the speed decreased, I was able to enjoy the beautiful Hawaiian scenery at a leisurely pace. It truly felt like I had become a bird. At one point, the instructor loosened my harness, which made me a bit anxious since I hadn't been informed about it beforehand, but the fun outweighed any worries.
I had always thought about trying skydiving at least once in my life after seeing it on TV, but I never expected it to be so easy and enjoyable! If you're hesitating, I highly recommend giving it a try. A senior who had already experienced it told me, "Skydiving won't change your life," but I believe my experience did change my life. I gained a strange confidence (laughs).
Since I was dropped off at the hotel before noon, I felt like I had plenty of time left in the afternoon. I plan to go skydiving again the next time I visit Hawaii! I truly recommend it!
30歳を目前にして、友人とスカイダイビングをしようということで、今回ハワイでのメインイベントにしました。
早朝6時前にホテル近くまでピックアップして頂き、他の参加者とともにセンターへ到着後、簡単な説明を受け、早々に小型機へ。
私を担当して頂いたロシア人インストラクターの男性をはじめ、スタッフみなさん感じも良く、あまり緊張せず、想像よりもワクワクしている自分に驚きました。
徐々に高度も上がり、インストラクターと最終確認をして、ゴーグルをつけていざハワイの空へ!
落ちているという感覚より、空を浮いているという感じでびっくりでした!
ただ、ものすごい風圧を受けるので、手を振ったりするのも一苦労でしたが、自然と笑みになったり、意外に余裕がありました。
呼吸はインストラクターの指導通りに、うっすら口をあけてすれば問題ないと思います。
あっという間にパラシュートが開き、速度が落ちてからはハワイの景色もゆっくり楽しめて、本当に鳥になった気がしました。
途中インストラクターがベルトを緩めてくれますが、前もって聞いていなかったので少し不安になりましたが、とにかく楽しさの方が勝りました。
テレビなどでスカイダイビングの映像を観て、死ぬまでには一度経験してみたいなぁと思っていましたが、こんなにも簡単で、楽しいことだとは思っていませんでした!
悩んでいる方は是非経験してみてください。
「スカイダイビングやっても人生変わらなかったよ。」と既に経験済みの先輩に言われましたが、私は経験して人生が変わったと思います^^
変な自信もつきました(笑)
お昼前にはホテルに送ってもらったので、午後もたっぷり時間があると思います。
またハワイに行ったらスカイダイビングしようっ!と思います。
本当におすすめします!
Skydiving was my first experience, and it was amazing!! I was able to do it without any anxiety because I was with an instructor! I felt a little nervous while waiting for my turn to jump, but once I was out, that feeling disappeared! It was a valuable experience to see the mountains and the beautiful ocean of Hawaii from the sky!
スカイダイビングは初体験でしまが、すごくよかったです!!インストラクターの方と一緒なので不安もなく出来ました!飛び出す順番を待っている時は少しドキドキしましたが、出てしまうとそれも無くなりました!空から山やハワイの綺麗な海が見れて貴重な体験になりました!
I took a friend from Japan to Mr. Bill's
He had a great time and wants to come back next trip to learn how to fly!
There are a lot of good-looking guys, even from a man's perspective. The local divers jump multiple times a day, so they handle the tasks easily (laughs). After being called, I watched a DVD for about 30 minutes, then met up with the tandem instructor, and in just about 10 minutes, we were ready to go (laughs). It was super quick! It felt like we were suddenly at 10,000 feet, which is about 4,000 meters in Japan, and we flew up in no time (laughs). But the view was amazing—the weather was great too! The tandem instructor was incredibly skilled, and the cameraman did some wild and dangerous things with ease (laughs). I definitely want to jump again! It's different from roller coasters or bungee jumping; since it's so high that you can't see the ground, you're just stepping out of the Cessna.
男から見てもイケメンだらけ
現地のダイバーは1日何回も飛ぶ為、簡単に作業していく(笑)
呼ばれてから30分ぐらいDVDみたら、タンデムの先生と合流したら、ものの10分ぐらいでレッツゴー(笑)
めっちゃ早い!そりゃーなるよーになれーみたいや(笑)いっきに10000フィート、日本で言う4000mかな?あっという間に飛んでいく(笑)
でも眺めは最高ー天気もよかってー!
タンデムの先生もうますぎやし、カメラマンとかワイルドすぎぐらい危険な事を余裕でやるし(笑)
また飛びたいって思いますよ!
ジェットコースターやバンジージャンプとは違うんで、高すぎて下見えない分、セスナから出ていくってだけですよ
The driver was Japanese and the explanations were easy to understand in Japanese. Skydiving itself was reasonably priced, but you need to tip the driver $4, the instructor $20, and the photographer (if you sign up) $20, so I recommend bringing extra cash. Skydiving was incredibly fun, and I would like to use this service again next time.
ドライバーは日本人で説明も日本語で分かりやすかったです。
スカイダイビング自体はお手頃でしたがドライバー$4、インストラクター$20、カメラマン(申込んだ場合)$20とチップが必要なので現金も余分に持参することをおすすめします。スカイダイビングは最高に楽しかったので次回も利用したいです。
I was nervous since it was my first time, but the staff were all so interesting and I had a great time! The view from above was also breathtaking and unforgettable. I definitely want to do it again when I come back to Hawaii!
初めてでドキドキでしたが、面白いスタッフばかりでとても楽しめました!
上空から見る景色も感動的で忘れられないです。
またハワイに来たら絶対したいです!
It was amazing. I'm really glad I got to have this experience. The guide was incredibly entertaining. My wife was with me and she was very happy as well. This was my first time having such an experience; I initially hesitated, but I'm glad I did it. I want to recommend this to others and give more people the chance to have such an experience. Thank you very much.
最高でした。こんな体験させて頂いて本当良かった。案内してくれたおっちゃんが最高面白くしてくれた。
奥さんも一緒だったがすごく喜んでくれた。こんな体験初めて私は初め拒んでいたけどやって良かった。他の人にも勧めたいもっと他の人にもこんな体験させてあげたい。
ありがとうございました。
We spent Christmas in Hawaii and went on this excursion and absolutely loved it!!! The crew was fabulous and we would do this excursion again!!! Such a unique experience and the views were out of this world!!! Highly highly reccommend!!!
I have wanted to go skydiving for a long time. The scenery in Hawaii is so beautiful, and diving into it was incredibly exciting!! The staff were all fun and reliable. I want to do it again! Next time, I want to have photos taken while diving.
前々からスカイダイビングをしたいと思っていました。ハワイの景色はとてもキレイで、その中に飛び込んでダイブするのはとてもエキサイティングでした!!
スタッフの方も、面白くて頼もしい方たちばかりです。また飛びたい!
今度はダイブしてる写真も撮ってもらいたいです。
I signed up for skydiving in Hawaii at my husband's request, but it costs $53.33 just for a companion to accompany us. I thought it was expensive, but since it's a valuable experience, I went ahead with the booking.
Since we were at it, I also added the video recording option to capture the moment in the air. However, the reservation site stated that we could choose between a photographer or an instructor for the shoot, but in reality, we had no choice. In the end, we were only offered the photographer option, and I ended up paying $178 including tax for that. The skydiving itself was $170, so the video recording ended up being more expensive.
Before purchasing the video, I wasn't allowed to check the footage and had to buy it as instructed.
The tipping amount was also listed on the site as $10 to $20, but we were actually told to pay $20 each. That meant $20 for the instructor, $20 for the photographer, totaling $40, plus $10 for the driver who brought us there.
In total, I ended up paying over $450.
It was a typical case of appearing cheap but charging a lot in the end.
While I was satisfied with the valuable experience itself, I found it unkind that the prices increased once we got there, and it was hard to know the exact costs until we arrived.
Additionally, there was a fully equipped ATM for cash advances from credit cards, with a sign saying, "If you don't have enough money, please use this."
Since the optional tour was prepaid by credit card, many people might not expect to incur such additional costs. I advise anyone planning to participate to keep these points in mind.
Also, even my husband, who is good with rides, felt nauseous during the landing turns and ended up feeling groggy. I recommend taking motion sickness medication.
ハワイでスカイダイビングをしたいとの夫の要望で申し込みましたが、現地に着いていくだけの同行者も53.33ドルかかります。高いなと思いつつも、貴重な体験だしと申し込みました。
せっかくなので、飛んでいる所も残そうとビデオ撮影のオプションもつけましたが、予約時のサイトの記載ではカメラマン撮影かインストラクター撮影か選べるとあったのに、実際は選べませんでした。
結局、カメラマン撮影一択で、税込みで178ドル支払わされました。
飛ぶのが、170ドルだったので、それよりも高いビデオ撮影代になりました。
動画購入前に、VTRのチェックもさせてもらえず、言われるがままに購入。
チップの金額もサイトでは、10ドル~20ドルと記載がありましたが、実際は各自に20ドル払ってくださいと金額を指定されました。
インストラクターに20ドル・カメラマンに20ドルで計40ドル
更に、現地までつれてきてくれたドライバーにも10ドル
なんだかんだで、全部で450ドル以上の支払いになりました。
安く見せといて、高く取られる典型的なパターンでした。
貴重な体験が出来たので、それ自体は満足ですが、現地に行ってから金額が吊り上がり、行ってみないと細かい金額が分からないのは不親切だなと思いました。
あと、「お金が足りない人は、こちらをご使用下さい」と、しっかりクレジットカードからキャッシング出来るATMまで完備されていました。
オプショナルツアー自体は、クレジットでの事前精算なのでお金がそんなに追加でかかると思わない人も多いのでしょうね……
参加予定の人は、以上の点をご注意ください。
あと、乗り物に強い夫でも着陸時の旋回で酔ってグロッキーになっていました。
酔い止めなどは飲まれた方がいいと思います。
Do not leave Hawaii without experiencing Bill's glider ride.
We had a great time, enjoyed the view, but felt restricted. The President was on the island, so our air space was limited. It was kind of a bummer, but our pilot, Jim, really tried to make the best of the situation. He was great!
Thank you very much for your understanding. We go through this every year at Christmas time when the President is on Oahu. We'll all be delighted when Mr. Obama returns as a regular citizen on vacation. It's our busiest time of year and we're forced to fly a less-than-ideal route due to security. \Oh well, just one more year and we'll be free. Thanks for flying with us.
The pickup on the day was on time, and while watching a skydiving explanation video in the car, I signed the consent form. After about an hour, we arrived at Pacific Skydiving Center, where I chose options for video and photo shoots, and was introduced to my instructor and the cameraman. My instructor was Mark and the cameraman was Clint. Both were very cheerful, and their explanations about the jumping posture were really enjoyable. Thanks to their jokes and cheerful demeanor, my nerves were greatly eased.
After reaching the desired altitude in the Cessna, without any time to be scared, I was quickly thrown into the air at the signal of "3, 2, 1."
There was no feeling of floating, just a strong wind!
After about a minute of free fall, the parachute deployed. The view from there was truly breathtaking. Along the way, Mark taught me how to operate the parachute, and being able to drift through the sky on my own was a wonderful memory. The landing was a butt-slide landing, and my backside ended up muddy!
Finally, we checked the photos, and I really felt it was worth asking for the shoot. The beautiful photos, the incredible funny faces—though it wasn't cheap, I’m really glad I requested it.
From what I saw of others, all the instructors and cameramen seemed cheerful and were having a lot of fun! It was truly a valuable experience! I definitely want to do it again!!!
当日の迎えも時間通り、車内でスカイダイビングの説明ビデオを見ながら、同意書にサインをします。
1時間ほどでパシフィックスカイダイビングセンターに到着し、ビデオ撮影や写真撮影等のオプション選択をした後、インストラクターと撮影を担当してくれるカメラマンを紹介されます。
私を担当してくれたのはマークさん(インストラクター)とクリントさん(カメラマン)でした。二人とも非常に陽気な方で、飛び降りた際の降下姿勢等の説明も非常に楽しかったです。二人の冗談や陽気さのおかげで緊張も随分ほぐれました。
セスナで目的の高度に達した後は「3、2、1」の合図で怖がる間もなく、あっという間に空中に放り出されます。
浮遊感はなく、ただただ風が強い!
1分ほどフリーフォールした後に、パラシュートが展開されます。
そこから見る景色は本当に絶景でした。
途中、パラシュートの操作方法をマークさんが教えてくれ、自分の意思で空を漂えたのが本当に良い思い出です。
着地はお尻スライディング着地でした。お尻が泥々になってしまいます笑。
最後に写真の確認を行いますが、本当に撮影をお願いしてよかったと思います。
綺麗な写真、凄まじい変顔、決して安い額ではありませんがお願いしていて本当によかったです。
他の方を見た感じでは、どのインストラクターさんもカメラマンさんも陽気な方でとても楽しそうでした!
本当に貴重な経験でした!
ぜひまた体験したいです!!!
I was scared, but it was an amazing moment! If you're hesitating, you should definitely give it a try! The beautiful scenery will leave you in awe♪ I want to fly again right away!! Just like Masa said, you just need to clear your mind and fly (^_^)b Thank you, Masa.
怖いと思っていたけど…最高な瞬間でした!
悩んでいるくらいなら絶対にトライしてみるべき!すごくキレイな景色に感動します♪
すぐにでもまた飛びたいです!!
マサさんの言う通り頭の中空っぽにして飛ぶだけですね(^_^)b Thak you Masa.
