Oahu
This is an activity that you absolutely must experience when you go to Hawaii.
The driver, local staff, and pilot were all very kind and attentive, which made it easy to participate with peace of mind.
This time, I chose the West Coast plan. While over the ocean, I experienced things that are usually hard to come by, such as rapid ascents, sharp turns, and weightlessness. I experienced this alongside my parents, who are 83 and 80 years old.
The fact that even elderly people can enjoy this proves itself by the smiles on my parents' faces. They were smiling the whole time and had a great time. They even expressed a desire to try piloting next time.
The view of Oahu's natural beauty from above, the colors of the ocean, the sky, and the cityscape were all wonderful. Although we couldn't go into the clouds, we brushed against them a little, making it an unforgettable experience.
Flying a Cessna was on my dream list of 100 things to do, and I'm glad I was able to achieve it.
When I mentioned that I would like to try piloting a helicopter next, I was given a connection to that opportunity as well.
ハワイへ行ったら、絶対に体験して欲しいアクティビティです。
送迎のドライバーさん、現地のスタッフさん、パイロットさん。皆さんがとても親切丁寧で、安心して参加することが出来ます。
今回は、西海岸のプランを選択しました。海の上では、急上昇、急旋回、無重力体験など、通常ではなかなか体験出来ないことを体験させていただきました。83歳と80歳の両親と共に体験しました。
高齢者でも楽しめることは、両親の笑顔を見れば間違いないことを証明します。終始笑顔で、楽しんでいました。また、次は操縦をしてみたいということです。
上空から見るオアフ島の大自然、海の色、空の色、街並みなど、とても素敵でした。また、雲の中には入ることは出来ないとのことですが、少し掠めてくださったり、忘れられない体験となりました。
セスナ操縦は、夢の100リストに入っていて、達成できて良かったです。
次はヘリコプターの操縦体験をしたいことをお伝えしたら、そこにも繋がるご縁をいただきました。
If you're feeling anxious, I think it would be good to prepare some motion sickness medication before you go. Our family was all fine, but for those who are worried.
不安な方は、酔い止めを用意して行かれると良いかと思います。私たち家族は、全員大丈夫でしたが、ご心配の方は。

Can’t wait for my next trip to Oahu so I can do it again! Flew with you about ten years ago and have great memories of that experience, but appreciated and enjoyed this flight so much more! Maybe we do just appreciate some life experiences so much more as we get older? I knew from experience, that I would enjoy another glider ride, but my girlfriend had no concept or idea what to expect. She was totally blown away and in awe that the pilot could keep us in the air for that length of time “with no engine to supply the power”!…..she thinks you’re an absolute genius that could perform that incredible feat!
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. Your entire staff was so friendly and obviously love what they do. Thanks again…I highly recommend your glider experience to anyone who is even remotely interested in the fun of flight.
【What I Want to Convey First】
- It's better to schedule this for the first half of your trip (due to potential delays from weather conditions).
- Morning slots are preferable.
(I had booked a 1 PM slot, but due to weather conditions, the jumps were halted in the morning. By the time they resumed, the morning slots were already fully booked, and I received a cancellation notice without even going to the site.)
- If you're unsure, you should definitely experience it.
【Flow of the Day】
Around 10 AM, I received a cancellation notice due to bad weather. They informed me that the same slot was available the next day, so I rescheduled.
The next day, I was picked up from my hotel in Waikiki and traveled by tour bus to Waialua (about an hour). Upon arrival, I first checked in using a tablet. I entered my reservation number, name, address, emergency contact, and consent form. (Everything is in English, but a translation app can help with that.) The Japanese staff at the reception explained that due to clouds above, they weren't sure if we could fly. After waiting for about an hour, the weather improved, and those waiting began to prepare. After about two hours from check-in, my name was called by the instructor, and I stored my belongings in a locker to get ready. (I couldn't understand much of the explanation since it was in English, but I managed with determination and gestures.) I boarded a small plane and dove from 4,000 meters above. After landing, the instructor provided me with a certificate and took some photos, and that was the end of it. In total, it took about six hours from leaving the hotel to returning.
【Impressions】
I only felt scared when jumping out of the plane, but that was just at the beginning. The wind felt amazing, and the view from 4,000 meters above is indescribable.
【最初にお伝えしたいこと】
・旅の前半に予定しておいた方が良い（天候等の影響で延期等がある）
・枠は午前中の方が良い
（自分は13時枠で予約していましたが、午前中に天候の影響でジャンプがストップしてしまい、
再開する時に既に午前枠の人でスケジュール的に埋まってしまったそうなので、
現地にも行くことなくキャンセルの連絡が来ました）
・迷ってるんだったら体験するべき
【当日の流れ】
10時ごろ、悪天候のためキャンセルの連絡が来る。
翌日の同じ枠なら空いているとのことで、翌日に変更してもらう。
翌日、ワイキキのホテルに迎えに来てもらい、ツアーバスでワイアルアまで移動（約1時間）
現地に着き、まずタブレットで受付。
予約番号、氏名、住所、緊急連絡先、同意書を入力する。
（全て英語表記ですが、翻訳アプリでどうにかなります）
受付にいる日本人のスタッフより上空に雲が広がっているため、飛べるかどうか分からないと説明を受ける。
1時間ほど待っていると上空の雲行きが良くなり、待機していた人たちが準備をし始める。
受付から約2時間くらい経過し、インストラクターから名前が呼ばれ、
荷物をロッカーに入れて準備を開始する。
（ここの説明は英語のためほとんど理解できず、気合いとジェスチャーで乗り切る）
小型飛行機に乗り込み、上空4,000mからダイブ。
着地後、インストラクターの方から証明書と写真を撮ってもらい終了。
結局、ホテル出発から戻ってくるまで約6時間かかりました。
【感想】
飛行機から落ちる時だけ怖さを感じましたが、最初だけでした。
とても風が気持ちよく、上空4,000mから見下ろす景色は言葉では言い表せない物があります。
As mentioned above, if you are going to include this schedule, it's better to plan it for the first half of the trip. Also, I think it's better to have the time slot in the morning.
上記にも記載しましたが、この予定を入れるなら旅の前半に予定しておいた方が良いです。
また、枠は午前中の方が良いと思います。

Actually, on the scheduled day of participation, the small plane couldn't fly, so I waited for six hours on-site and then returned to the hotel. I rescheduled and participated again. It was definitely worth it to go through all that. As soon as I jumped out of the plane, it felt like I was flying in the sky; the sensation was exhilarating. Perhaps due to the wind resistance, it felt more like flying than falling, and it was undoubtedly the best experience. The moment I returned to the ground, I wanted to do it again.
実は参加予定日に小型飛行機が飛べず現地で６時間待って、ホテルに戻りました。再度リスケして参加。そこまでしても参加する価値ありです。飛行機から飛び出すとまるで空を飛んでるような爽快感です。風の抵抗があるからか落下しているというより飛んでいる感覚で、間違いなく最高です。地上に戻った瞬間、またやりたくなりました。
Since it's March, the air up above is cold, so I think it's better to have a jacket. A hoodie will be fine as they can secure it with a harness or something similar.
３月ということもあり、上空は寒いので、上着はあったほうがいいと思います。パーカーでもハーネスなどで留めてくれるので大丈夫です。

After deciding to go skydiving, I was excited for three months. I got stuck on the application details regarding the requirement to understand English and to be able to climb up and down a 70-80 cm platform without using my hands. However, after reading everyone's experiences, I learned that many Japanese participants were there, so it seemed like we could consult each other or use broken Japanese to communicate.
On the day of the jump, I woke up at 5 AM, had a light breakfast, and waited at the designated spot at 6:40 AM when the Go Jump van arrived. It picked up about ten people from three hotels in the Waikiki area, but it seemed I was the only Japanese participant.
We arrived at the airport after about an hour. At the reception, they checked our passports and entered our information on a tablet. They asked for our name, address, phone number, and weight in pounds. We also had to provide an emergency contact's phone number, name, and relationship, and check the liability waiver. Since I didn't understand English, I used my smartphone's translation feature.
There were two places to sign, and it was okay to use either kanji or romaji. Once I finished entering my information, they provided information about optional upgrades at the reception. They offered a Japanese display for an upgrade to 18,000 feet, which I declined. The fuel surcharge of $15 could be paid in cash or by credit card. After that, I waited until my name was called.
The people who came in the same van were getting fitted with harnesses. The driver checked the schedule and informed us that we would be on the next flight. We stored our belongings in lockers, saying goodbye to the smartphone translation feature.
The instructor fitted my harness and gave a brief explanation. If I didn't understand English, they would explain using broken Japanese or gestures. A female photographer boosted our spirits while taking pictures.
As I sat on a bench outside, the previous jumpers came down. It was finally time to board. As the last ones to get on, we sat on the floor, and the instructor secured us closely together with clicks. They tightened the harness and had us hold it next to our chest. We were ready.
We were supposed to jump on the count of 1, 2, 3, go, but I couldn't hear anything over the sound of the wind, and before I knew it, I was flying through the air. I usually feel scared at high places, but I didn't feel scared at all here. There was no discomfort like on roller coasters or elevators; I was just resisting the wind.
When I was tapped on the shoulder and told to spread my arms, I was in a sort of arching position. I posed with the photographer using peace signs and shaka signs.
Suddenly, I felt a G-force as the parachute opened. I enjoyed the view of the Hawaiian sea and mountains as we returned to the airport. For landing, I lifted my legs, and we landed softly.
I had taken motion sickness medication beforehand, but I felt refreshed without any nausea. It was a great success.
While waiting inside the building, the instructor handed me a certificate, an eco-bag, and a pen. At this time, there was an envelope for tips with the names of the instructor and photographer written on it. I put cash in for each and placed it in a transparent box that looked like a donation box.
I got ready to take my belongings home. The shop sold T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, etc., but I was disappointed that I couldn't buy anything since the shuttle was waiting.
It seemed the driver could send the photos he took directly to an iPhone, but since I had an Android, that wasn't an option for me... After another hour, we returned to Waikiki. We arrived at the hotel just after 11 AM, and I gave the driver a tip when I got out of the car.
スカイダイビングを決めてから3ヶ月ワクワクドキドキ。申し込みの注意事項で英語を理解できる、70-80cmの台に手を使わずに昇り降りできるの項目で引っかかりました。そこで皆様の体験談を読んで英語は日本人の参加が多いので、相談し合ったとか、カタコトの日本語を使ってもらったり何とかなりそうです。
当日は朝5時に起きて軽く朝食を食べ、6:40指定場所で待っているとGo Jumpの車が来てくれました。ワイキキエリアで3箇所のホテルを周り約10人が乗り込みましたが、日本人は私一人のようです。
約1時間かけて飛行場に着きました。受付でパスポートの確認があり、タブレットで入力していきます。名前、住所、電話番号、体重はポンド表記です。緊急連絡先の電話、名前、続柄を入力して、免責事項にチェックします。英語が分からないのでスマホの翻訳機能を使いました。
サインが2箇所あり、漢字でもローマ字でもOKです。
入力終わると受付でオプションの案内があります。日本語表示をしてもらって18000feetにしませんかというもので断りました。燃油サーチャージの15$は現金かクレジット払いです。終わると奥で名前が呼ばれるまで待います。
同じ車で来た人達はそれぞれハーネスを付けてもらっていました。ドライバーさんが予定表を確認して次のフライトになること教えてくれました。
荷物はロッカーに入れます。スマホの翻訳機能とはお別れです。
担当インストラクターさんがハーネスを付けてくれ、簡単な説明をしてくれます。英語が分からないとカタコトの日本語やジェスチャーで説明してくれます。
女性カメラマンが写真を撮りながらテンション上げてくれました。
外のベンチに座っていると前の人たちが降りてきました。
いよいよ搭乗です。最後に乗り込んだ私たちは床に座り、インストラクターさんがカチッカチッと2人を密着させていきます。ハーネスもしっかり締め直して胸の横でハーネスを握ります。準備完了です。
1.2.3.goで飛ぶはずでしたが、風の音で全く聞こえず、気づけば空を飛んでいました。普段高い所は怖いですが、ここでは怖さはなかったです。ジェットコースターや、エレベーターのような不快感も全くありません。ただ、風の抵抗の耐えているだけです。
肩を叩かれて両手を広げると海老反り状態です。カメラマンさんともピースやシャカでポーズします。
しばらくすると突然Gがかかります。パラシュートが開いたのです。ハワイの海や山を堪能しながら飛行場へ帰ります。着地は両足を上げてるとフワッと着地しました。
前もって酔い止め薬を飲んでいましたが、酔うことなく爽快でした。大成功です。
建物内で待っているとインストラクターさんが証明書とエコバッグ、ボールペンなどを渡してくれました。この時にチップを入れる封筒にインストラクターさんとカメラマンさんの名前が記入してありました。それぞれに現金で入れて募金箱のような透明の箱に入れます。
荷物を持って帰る用意です。お店にはTシャツやトレーナー、帽子等売っていましたが送迎車が待っていたので買えなかっまたのが残念でした。
ドライバーさんが撮ってくれた写真をiPhoneならそのまま送ってくれたようですがAndroidなので…
また1時間かけてワイキキへ戻って来ました。ホテルに着いたのは11時過ぎでした。ドライバーさんには車を降りる時にチップを渡しました。
I didn't see anyone who was drunk, but I think it's better to take motion sickness medicine.
酔っている人は見ませんでしたが、酔い止め薬は飲んでいる方がいいと思います。

I had always wanted to try this at least once, so I decided to do it in my favorite place, Hawaii. Since I was at it, I opted for 18,000 feet and added a photographer for a full experience. Rather than worrying about various things in advance, I encourage you to just go and see for yourself. There’s no time to feel scared; breathtaking views that are beyond words await you. The staff is very experienced, so you can trust them completely, and they keep the atmosphere lively throughout the experience.
Most importantly, they took a lot of photos and videos during the pre-interview, and I even received them on the way back, which I really appreciated. After returning home, I found myself reminiscing about it many times, and it made for great stories to share with others! I also received discount coupons for my next visit, so I hope to catch a rainbow or sunset at the right time someday!
一度は挑戦してみたいと思っていたので、せっかくなら大好きなハワイでと決めていました。
せっかくなのでオプションで18,000ftにし、カメラマンもつけフルフルに。
事前に色々不安になるよりも、飛んで見てほしいです。
怖いとか感じる時間もないくらい、そこには言葉にならない絶景が待ってます。
スタッフは皆さん慣れているので安心しておまかせでき、終始盛り上げてくれ
何より事前インタビューや動画・写真もたくさん撮ってくれ（しかも帰りの道中には届いた！）、ありがたかったです。
帰国した後も何度も身返し、周囲へも良い土産話になりました！
次回からのオフクーポンもいただけたので、いつか虹やサンセットがタイミングよく見れたらなと思います！

Since it was my first experience piloting a Cessna, I was a bit nervous at first, but thanks to the pilot's careful instruction, I was able to try various things. I will definitely participate again the next time I go to Hawaii!
初めてのセスナ操縦体験ですから、最初の頃は緊急してましたが
パイロットさんが丁寧に教えていただいたおかげで、色々体験することができました
次回ハワイに行く時また参加します！

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。
I think it's better for those who get easily drunk to stop.
酔いやすい方はやめた方がいいと思います。

We signed up for this experience in Hawaii due to my wife's strong desire for our honeymoon trip.
Many YouTubers have introduced this, but the staff at Laniera were truly kind, and I can say that I had almost no concerns about participating!
Especially on the day I joined, all the pilots and staff were Japanese, so I don't think anyone who struggles with English will feel any language barrier at all! Since I work in the aviation industry, I wasn't given detailed instructions on operations, but the other participants received thorough briefings on basic aircraft operation beforehand, so I think there's no need to worry about that.
Personally, I believe it's a rare opportunity to experience flying a Cessna at an international airport where large aircraft are constantly in the air, something you can't find in Japan! It was also my first visit to Hawaii, and while enjoying the views from above, the instructor provided detailed explanations of various locations, which was very helpful for sightseeing the next day. (I think participating in this tour early in your stay can be beneficial for your subsequent sightseeing!)
Although the weak yen and inflation in Hawaii make it a tough time, the videos and photos taken, along with the breathtaking views we experienced, have become treasures for my wife and me!
If you're interested, I highly recommend participating!
新婚旅行でハワイを訪問する際、妻の強い希望があり申し込みました。
いろんなYouTuberの方が紹介されていますが、本当にラニエアの皆さんが親切にして下さり、参加にあたって不安な点は全くと言っていいほどありませんでした！
特に（私が参加した日は）パイロット、スタッフ共に日本人の方ばかりで、英語が苦手な方でも言語の壁を感じることは全く無いと思います！
私は飛行機に関わる仕事をしているので、操作等詳しく教えていただくことはありませんでしたが、他の参加者の方々には事前に飛行機の基本的な操縦方法等、詳しくレクチャーされていたのでその点も心配無いと思います。
個人的には大型機が盛んに飛び交う国際空港で、セスナを飛ばす経験ができる場所は日本にはなく、大変貴重な体験ができると思います！また私にとって初めてのハワイ訪問でしたが、上空から景色を眺めつつもインストラクターの方から細かく各地の説明をしていただけたので、翌日からの観光に大変参考になりました。
（滞在期間の早い時期にこのツアーに参加して、以降の観光に役立てるという使い方もできると思います！）
円安かつハワイのインフレはなかなかキツい時期と思いますが、撮っていただいた動画や写真、自分の目で見たあの景色と感じた感動は僕たち夫婦の財産になったと思います！
皆さんも気になっているなら、ぜひ参加されることをお勧めします！
Depending on the weather conditions, those who are prone to motion sickness may find it essential to take anti-nausea medication. (There may be areas where the ride is somewhat bumpy...)
Additionally
気象条件にもよりますが、飛行機酔いをされやすい方は酔い止めが必須かと思われます。（それなりに揺れる箇所があるかも知れません…）
また天気次第でコースや眺望、催行可否が変わる点にも注意が必要です。

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！
It's a good idea to participate with some time to spare. Motion sickness medication is a must.
時間に余裕を持って参加されるといいです。酔い止め必須です。

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。
Even if you can't speak English, you'll be fine. You can clear everything with a smartphone translator. If you're hesitating, definitely give it a try!
英語が出来なくても何とかなります。
スマホの翻訳機で全てクリアできます。
迷っているなら是非体験してみて下さい！

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。
Since you can't choose the instructor, it's left to chance. I think being able to speak English would allow for even better service.
インストラクターは、選べないので運まかせですね。
英語を話せると、さらにいいサービスが受けられると、思います。

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!

I participated with my daughter, who is in middle school. My wife stayed on land because she gets motion sickness easily.
During takeoff and landing, there was hardly any acceleration or impact like you would experience on a regular passenger plane; it was a quiet takeoff and landing with almost no jolt. In the air, there was very little turbulence, making for a safe and secure flight.
We had already visited places like Diamond Head and Pearl Harbor beforehand, and it was great to see them from the sky as if confirming what we had seen. It was nice to see parts of the former volcanic crater that are too large to understand without viewing them from above.
Over Pearl Harbor, the shape of the sunken battleship was clearly visible, filling in the missing pieces of the puzzle from our land tour (with a different company). Honestly, just this experience made it worth participating.
私(父)と中学生の娘と2人で参加。
妻は乗り物酔いしやすいので陸で待機。
離着陸は、通常の旅客機で体験するような加速度や衝撃は全くと言ってよいほど無く、静かに離陸、着陸もほとんど衝撃なし。
空でも大した揺れもなく、安心安全な航行でした。
事前に、ダイヤモンドヘッドやパールハーバーなどの見学を済ませており、それを空から答え合わせするように見ることができて良かった。
かつての火山の噴火口跡など、大きすぎて空から見ないとわからない部分を見ることができて良かった。
パールハーバー上空では、沈んでいる戦艦の形がくっきりと視認でき、陸での(別会社の別ツアーでの)見学時の欠けていたパズルのピースを埋めるようで、正直、これだけでも参加して良かったくらい。
I thought it would be better to wear a long-sleeved jacket, and I felt it was the right choice. It would be even better if there were pockets that could fit a smartphone and zip up. You have enough ti
長袖の上着はあったほうがいいかなと思い、着て行って正解だと感じました。
スマホが入ってチャックが締まるくらいのポケット付きなら、なお良いかと。上空でスマホで写真撮る余裕あります。

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。

I applied with the assurance that the pilot would be Japanese. The pre-flight briefing, the guidance while in the air, and the explanation after landing were all conducted in Japanese, which was reassuring. Although it wasn't clear skies, I still think it will be an amazing experience.
パイロットが日本人確約で申し込みました。
事前の説明、空に上がってからのガイド、降機後の説明、やはり日本語でのコミュニケーションは安心です。
快晴ではなかったもののそれでも感動すると思います。
You don't need to dress up, haha. It's fine to wear something comfortable and relaxed.

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.

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

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.

I looked at various reviews and was attracted by the opportunity to experience piloting, so I made a reservation.
It was a one-hour sightseeing flight, but I was able to operate the control stick more than I had imagined, and I was very satisfied.

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！！！

Lani Lea Sky is the best company. Both the ground staff and the pilots are kind and have no complaints. The views from the sky, including Diamond Head, are breathtaking, and I was moved by the beautiful rainbows seen from above. It was amazing to see the filming locations of Jurassic Park from the air. I want to fly again. I think I might become addicted to it.

This time, I experienced an aerial tour of Hawaii for the first time in 10 years. My family (my wife and younger son) and I took a Cessna, and it was an amazing and thrilling 60 minutes. The weather was great that day, and there was very little turbulence, which was nice. The young and handsome pilot, Tanaka, provided thorough explanations and guidance, which made me feel very comfortable and reassured. We had a fantastic experience with plenty of opportunities for coastal sightseeing and hands-on piloting.
(The course and experience seem to be influenced by the weather, so we were lucky.) At one point, we spotted a whale and the pilot descended to get a closer look. We also witnessed a passenger plane landing from above and experienced an impressive sharp turn over the airport runway for landing. It was a very enjoyable flight.
I went on this trip for my eldest son's wedding, and it has become one of the best memories of my trip to Hawaii.
Pilot Tanaka, the staff who handled the pick-up, flight explanations, and everyone else were all friendly, making for a fun time. It was also reassuring that everything was conducted in Japanese. Thank you very much. Mahalo~ 😁
今回10年ぶりにハワイの空中散歩を体験しに行きました。セスナで家族で（妻、次男）体験しましたがとても素晴らしく興奮の60分でした。当日はお天気もとても良くて、ほとんど揺れることも少なく、良かったです。若くてイケメンの田中パイロットが丁寧に解説しながら、手取り足取り教えて下さったのがとても安心で良かったです。離陸から海岸散歩と操縦体験もたくさんさせてもらって大満足の体験となりました。
（コースや体験は天候に左右されるらしく、ラッキーでした）
途中クジラを見つけて下降してもらったり、旅客機の着陸を上空から見届けて空港滑走路を越えての急旋回着陸の凄技を見せてもらったりとても楽しいフライトでした。
今回長男の結婚式の機会で行きましたが、最高のハワイ旅行の思い出の一つとなりました。
田中パイロット、送迎からフライト説明、対応いただいた方全てがフレンドリーで楽しい時間を過ごさせてもらいました。すべて日本語対応も安心感がありました。

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."

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。
