All Reviews for Skydiving Hawaii & Air Adventures

It was the best experience.
I have ridden most of the thrill rides in the country, but the excitement I felt during skydiving surpasses anything I've experienced in the past.
The "fear" at the moment of jumping from 4,000 meters, the "excitement" while falling, and the "view" after the parachute opens are beyond words.
Before you jump, you have to sign a waiver that means "everything is at your own risk," but if you have even 1% interest in skydiving, you should definitely try it. Even with 99% anxiety and fear, the friendly and skilled staff will make it enjoyable.
If you have a partner or friends, please do it together; I think it will create unforgettable memories.
Unfortunately, my partner was too scared to jump from a 5-meter cliff, so they ran away, and I couldn't share the excitement with them. Also, I was embarrassed by my face in the video recording.
Finally, I want to express my gratitude to all the staff who took care of us and say, "Thank you!" and "Skydiving is the best!!!"

最高の体験でした。
　私は、国内の殆どの絶叫系ライドを乗っていますが、その時の興奮は過去のものであり、今後スカイダイビングで経験した「興奮」を上回るものはないと思います。
　上空４０００メートルから、飛び出す瞬間の「恐怖」、落ちていく途中の「興奮」、パラシュートが開いた後の「景色」は、言葉では言い表せません。
　飛ぶ前に「全ては自己責任」という意味合いの「承諾書」にサインしないといけませんが、スカイダイビングに１％でも興味のある方は、是非やってください。９９％の不安と恐怖があっても、優しくて優秀なスタッフが楽しませてくれます。
　カップルや友達がいる人は、是非一緒にやってください、一生の思い出作りになると思います。
　今回、残念だったのは、私の相方が５メートルの崖から飛び降りれないほどのビビリさんであったので、逃げ出してしまい、興奮を分かち合えなかった事とビデオ撮影して頂いた自分の顔があまりにイタかった事です。
　最後に、今回お世話になったスタッフの皆さんに「ありがとう」の言葉と「スカイダイビング最高！！！」の言葉を贈りたいです。

　

The Helicopter Tour was a terrific experience for first time vistors to the island...also for someone who has never rode in a helicopter! Highly recommend the company and the helpful staff! We ordered the video from our ride and received within the week as stated...we were quite surprised they were so accurate in sending it to us...THANKS!!

Absolutely loved it! It was a great way to get a fast introduction to Oahu, and thereafter help us plan the rest of our stay on where to go and what to see. The video was delivered even before we arrived home!

Fantastic time. Views were one of a kind, and the staff was very enjoyable.

This activity was well worth spending money for.
In one hour you have seen the entire island from a bird's eye view.
Way better than any island tour from the ground in uncomfortable tourbusses.
The heli is great, peacefull and very safy & smooth. Also because of a great pilot / tour guide. He knows the island well, just as much how he knows his aircraft.

As a to-become heli-pilot myself, it's been great seeing one pilot entertaining 6 people while keeping the heli as smooth & steady as possible and forfilling a safe flight in constant contact with the tower all by himself.

Cheers for that,mate!
And to the entire team of Makani Kai Heli Tours for having had a wonderfull morning!

My boyfriend and I had a great time on the helicopter tour. The staff was wonderful and the pilot was amazing! He was very detailed about everything we saw, and pointed out so many things we would of never noticed! We got tons of amazing pictures and video of this unforgetable experience. Definitely something we would do again!

This was a great experience! I would recommend it to anyone!

We've never been on a glider ride before, and we are so glad that we did. It's crazy to fly without an engine and a propeller! We were a little scared first, but once we were up in the air, we enjoyed the breathtaking views of Mokuleia, Yokohama Bay, North Shore Coastline, etc... It's the best way to enjoy the scenary in the north shore from the sky. Highly recommended!!!

Great Ride from the beginning to the end. We were picked up on time briefed about what to do and expect. Staff was very friendly. Our guide on the helicopter was very informative. Yes, your seated by weight and ofcourse you've definitely scored if you're in the front but, you have just as great a view in the back. You'll get more than enough great pictures. How can you really complain, your seeing Oahu from the sky and taking in more than expected.We even got to see a waterfall!!! Our ride back to our hotel was just as great with everyone chatting up a storm and our driver interacting with us as well and even giving us tips on where to go and what to see and do.

During a family trip, I participated alone on April 2nd. My family (husband, mother-in-law, and son) joined a private tour on-site and explored from start to finish. After finishing diving around 10 AM, I was able to join my family for a private tour around Oahu.

It was my first time, and when I initially signed the waiver, I thought, "Should I back out...?" But I'm glad I took the plunge. As the plane ascended, we broke through the clouds, and I felt like saying, "Are we still going up?" However, from the dive point, there was no hesitation as we jumped one after another. Thanks to our instructor, Mike, I was able to enjoy the thrill of skydiving while feeling secure. Once the parachute opened, we descended slowly and leisurely. The coastline on the north side of Oahu was beautifully visible, and I was amazed to see my feet floating at such a high altitude, adding to the thrill.

After landing, I high-fived Mike! It was a truly precious and wonderful experience. Next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely participate again. Thank you, Mike and all the staff!

家族での旅行中、４／２に私だけ参加しました。家族（夫・義母・息子）はプライベートツアーで現地で合流し、最初から最後まで見学してました。１０時過ぎにはダイビングが終了したので、そのままオアフ島周遊のプライベートツアーに家族と参加できましたよ。

私自身初めてで、最初に承諾書にサインする際に「やめようかな・・・」とも思いましたが、思い切って飛んでよかったです。
飛行機で上空へ上がるのに雲も突き抜け「まだ上がるの~？」といった気分でしたが、ダイブポイントからは躊躇する間もなく、次々と落ちていきます。インストラクターのマイクさんのおかげでスリルを味わいながらも安心してスカイダイビングできました。パラシュートが開いてからはゆっくりのんびりと落ちてきます。オアフ島北側の海岸線がきれいに見えて感動し、足元をみるとあまりにも高いところに浮かんでいる自分の足が見え、更なるスリルを味わいます。
着地後は、マイクさんとハイタッチ！とても貴重で素晴らしい体験ができました。次回ハワイへ行ったら必ず参加します。
マイクさん、スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました。

Pilot was very knowledgeable and good.

After arriving at the dive point, before I could even say "I'm scared" or "Wait," I was already falling one after another. I was the last one, but after counting to one, two, I found myself screaming "Yay!" while in the air, lol.

It was incredibly scary, but I became excited halfway through. I was screaming, but the force of the air coming in was so strong that I couldn't hear my own voice at all.

The sensation of falling is indescribable. It's the ultimate free-fall experience!

Once the parachute opened, I floated in the sky like a bird, slowly taking in the views of Oahu.

The Earth is truly round, and the ocean is blue—such obvious things were reaffirmed up in the sky.

In the distance, I could even see the humpback whales, a winter phenomenon in Hawaii, swimming around, which was absolutely amazing!

It's scary, but the refreshing feeling afterward is something you won't understand until you try it. Definitely give it a go~~~~!

I was quite indecisive about how to handle the photo shoot until the very end, but it was a bit too expensive... It would be great if it were a little cheaper.

ダイブポイントに到着してからは
怖いーとか待ってーとか言ってるまもなく、
次に次に落ちていきます。
私は最後でしたが、1,2とカウントした後は
気付いたらぎゃーーと叫びながら空にいましたｗ

むちゃくちゃ怖いけど、
途中から興奮状態になってましたね。
叫ぶんだけど、声を出す勢いより、空気が入ってくる勢いの方がすごくて
全然声が聞こえない。

あの落ちていく感覚は何とも言えません。
究極のフリーフォール体験！

パラシュートが開いてからは鳥のように空を舞いながら、
オアフ島をゆっくり眺める。

地球は本当に丸い
海は青い
なんて当たり前のことなんかを空の上で再確認。

遠くにはハワイの冬の風物詩 ザトウクジラの
泳ぐ姿なんかもみられて、本当に最高でした！

怖いけど終わった後のあの爽快感はやってみないとわかりませぬ。
是非おためしあれ~~~~ ！

写真撮影はどうするか最後までかなり迷ったんですが、
ちょっと高すぎました･･･
もうちょっと安くなると良いですね。

I didn't know I could go skydiving in Hawaii, so I forcefully convinced my friend to sign up. I had some doubts until the Cessna took off, but once I jumped, the feeling was something you can't experience on the ground. It was amazing!!! The company promised a jump from 4,000 meters, so I was able to dive with peace of mind. It's also reassuring that there are Japanese staff members!

ハワイでスカイダイビングができるとは知らなかったので、友達を強引に説得して申し込みしました。
セスナが飛ぶまで迷いもしましたが、飛んでみればあの感覚は地上では味わえないものです。
最高！！！
４０００Ｍをお約束してくれる催行会社だったので、安心してダイブできました。
日本人のスタッフもいるのも安心！

If you're going to fall, go bungee jumping.
If you want to fly, try skydiving.

Honestly, I had high expectations for the "1-2 minutes of free fall," but when it comes to diving from above the clouds, it feels too high to really experience the fall. You just spin a few times for a moment after jumping (are you swaying?), and then you play around with the strong winds. Once the parachute opens, you start to understand what it feels like to be a bird, and the refreshing sensation takes over.

The good weather probably helped, but the dedicated Cessna was also incredibly stable. Compared to a commercial airplane moving through the air currents, there was virtually no vertical shaking.

Actually, the day before, I heard from a scuba diving instructor about another company where 5-6 people have had incidents each year, so I felt relieved to have chosen this place.

Both before and after the jump, everyone was really relaxed and willing to take photos, which suited me perfectly.

As a keepsake, I bought a T-shirt that the instructor was wearing, but $18 felt a bit pricey... (well, I guess it's like a tip).

Mr. Tim is a bit cheeky, but he's a really great guy!

落ちるならバンジー。
空を飛ぶならスカイダイビング。

正直、「１~２分の自由落下」の期待は高かったんですが、
雲の上からのダイブとなると高すぎて落ちる実感沸かないし、
飛び降りた瞬間だけ数回転しながら落ちる（揺れてる？）程度で
あとは強風と戯れて、パラシュートが開けば
鳥の気持ちが理解出来るかなってな感じで
爽快感の方が勝る。ってな具合でした。

天気が良かったせいもあるでしょうが
専用セスナも実に安定してますね。
気流の中を進む旅客機に比べれば縦揺れ感覚も皆無でした。

実は前日に何処とは言えませんが
他会社で年間５~６人が○○してる話を
スキューバダイビングのインストラクターから聞いていて
ココにして良かったという安心感があったのも事実です

飛ぶ前も飛んだ後もの~んびりしてて、
気軽に写真に応じてくれるし自分には合ってました

記念にインストラクターも着てるＴシャツ買ったんですが、
＄１８はちっと高い気も・・・（まぁチップの感覚で）

ティム先生はあつかましいけど非常にイイ奴ですよ

I had wanted to try this for a long time, and it was incredibly exciting. We did various activities this time, but this was number one. I highly recommend it! I wanted to take photos, but it would have been better if it were a bit cheaper. The collared shirt flapped around and was uncomfortable while flying, so be careful.

　前々からやってみたかったのですが　大興奮でした。　今回いろいろなアクティビティーをやりましたがナンバー１です　超おすすめです　写真を撮りたかったのですが　もう少し安かったら良かったです　襟付きシャツは飛んでいる時バタついて痛いです注意しましょう　　　

It was wonderful.

I'm glad I could do it in Japanese.

日本語で出来て良かった。

We wish the dvd player would have been working so that we could have purchased a personalized copy of our tour. Getting a basic one for free was nice though...thanks for trying to do the right thing!

My mother insisted on signing up for something she absolutely wanted to do! My father and I (both university students) were like, "What?!" This is my third time in Hawaii. Every time I go, my mother challenges herself with various activities! Climbing to the top of Diamond Head, stargazing on the Big Island at night, scuba diving, horseback riding, bodyboarding... and so on (laughs). The highlight was definitely skydiving! It's a must-do! The staff were amazing! I was surprised to see Taguchi from KAT-TUN participating privately! It became a great memory. I will go again and bring photos from that time!

母親がどうしても絶対にやりたいと申し込んでしまいました！父と私は（大学生）えっ~！っとびっくり！私は三度目のハワイ。行くたびに、母はいろんなｺﾄにチャレンジ！
ダイヤモンドヘッド頂上登山、ハワイ島の夜の☆観測、スキューバーダイビング、乗馬、ボディボード・・・などなど（笑）やっぱり最高だったのがスカイダイビング！絶対やるべき！スタッフの方達が最高ﾟ+｡:.ﾟヽ(*´∀`)ﾉﾟ.:｡+ﾟ
ＫＡＴ−ＴＵＮの田口くんがプライベートで参加しててびっくり！いい思い出になりました。また行きます。その時の写真を持って(*^ｰﾟ)ﾉ

Never been on a helicopter so this was really exciting for me. It is a great way to see the island. The way you are seated in the helicopter is by weight distribution with other passangers so it is by chance you get the window seat or not. The only small complain I have is that I wish the pilot could have circled or turned around on some spots so everyone could have a chance to view the scene. I was lucky to have a window seat but there where times when I had to strain over to see a tourist spot on the other side of the copter and I would be lucky if I was even able to catch a small glimpse of whatever the attraction was.

This time, my husband and I experienced skydiving for the first time. The moment we jumped out of the plane was so quick that I didn't have time to feel scared; I was dropped on a count of one, two, three, so I didn't feel that much fear. The weather was nice, and the view was really beautiful.

However, while falling, the wind was strong, making it hard to breathe. Additionally, when the instructor asked me, "Do you like roller coasters?" and I answered, "Yes!" I was spun around to the right and left, which made me feel a bit nauseous. There were also others doing aerial spins.

My instructor was Japanese, so after the parachute opened, he explained various things while we enjoyed the scenery, which made it easy to understand. I'm glad I was able to land safely. The video and photos became great keepsakes.

今回主人と２人でスカイダイビングを初体験しました。
飛行機から飛び降りる瞬間は、怖いと思うまもなく、ワン・ツー・スリーで落とされたのでそんなに怖さは感じませんでした。天気が良かったので、すごく綺麗でした。
ただ、落ちている間風が強くて、息がしづらかったです。おまけに、インストラクターの方に「ジェットコースターは好きですか？」と聞かれたので、「はい！」と答えたら、右回りや左回りにくるくる回され、体を締め付けられているから、少し気持ちが悪かったです。空中回転している方もいらっしゃいました。
私のインストラクターは日本人の方だったので、パラシーウトが開いたあと、景色を
見ながらいろいろ説明してくれたので分かりやすかったです。なんとか、無事に着地する事が出来てよかったです。ビデオや写真も記念になりました。

It was a great experience. I look forward to doing it again.

Excellent way to sightsee - no traffic, no buses - our best experience here yer!

This is an excellent adventure. I would highly recommend this tour. A great way to see the Island for the first time. These folks are very professional and the equipment is in great condition. The pilots knowledge of the Island really made the tour more than a good view. I felt very safe while on the tour.
Thanks for a wonderful experience.

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。
スカイダイビングに挑戦して本当に良かった！楽しかった！！

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've been to Hawaii several times, but I've always wanted to try skydiving. This time, my daughter turned 18, so my husband and I signed up with her. We chose this place because we learned there had been no accidents. The staff were all fun, laughing, and relaxed! Off we went into the sky! We dove from an incredible 6,000 meters! If you're thinking about it, you definitely should do it! Words can't fully express it. You'll just want to shout, "It's the best!" I might end up skydiving every time I go to Hawaii (laughs). Thank you so much to all the staff!

何度かハワイには行っているのですが、ずーっとスカイダイビングをしたかったんです。今回は娘が１８歳になり主人と３人で申し込みました。こちらに決めたのは無事故だと知ったので。スタッフの方達は皆さん楽しく笑いながらリラックス！いざ空へ！なんと６０００ｍからダイビング！やってみたい方は是非やるべき！言葉では伝えきれない。最高！って叫んじゃうから！ハワイに行くたびにスカイダイビングをしちゃうかも（笑）スタッフのみなさん本当にありがとうございました。

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。

I participated alone. However, there were others who also joined alone, so I was able to make friends. There was also a Japanese instructor, which helped me relax and enjoy flying.

一人で参加しました。
でもほかの一人で参加する方もいたので、仲良くなれました。
日本人のインストラクターもいらっしゃるので、リラックスして飛べました。

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。
