If you want to see sharks up close, this is the place to be. Up on the North shore, wich in my opinion is the nicest part of the island. My brother and I had a great time. I still can't believe how big the sharks were. Crew was great !

Mr bills gliders was a fantastic high light of our trip.
The staff was very nice , and knowledgable .
My pilots name was Soloman, and I went up for a 30 min free style and a 15 acrobatic ride! Let me tell you this, the view s are incredible, super quiet . I saw isolated several storm clouds pouring rain over the water very cool to see from above.
The acrobatic part was 4-1/2 Gssssssssss and oh boy , what a ride so cool.
I highly recommend bills. It was worth every penny.

The highlight of my trip to Hawaii was definitely skydiving. To be honest, I was quite nervous, but my instructor Brent, who didn't speak much Japanese, made me laugh with his gestures, and it was a lot of fun. The time flew by smoothly. Also, for first-timers, I recommend getting photos or a DVD, even though it can be a bit pricey. I didn't do it, and I regret that. If I come back to Hawaii, I will definitely do it again!
今回のハワイ旅行で1番の思い出はスカイダイビングになったくらい良かったです。
正直・・・かなりビビってましたがインストラクターのbrentが日本語はあまり話せなかったけどジェスチャーで笑わせてくれたりして楽しかったです。
時間もスムーズに進み あっという間の時間でした。
あとは・・・初めての方は少しお値段は張りますが写真かDVDの撮影をオススメします。私はしなかったので後悔してます。

Next, if I could participate in just one thing in Hawaii, it would definitely be this! It's an experience that everyone envies! It's something only those who have done it can understand. Since the North Shore is nearby, I think it's a good idea to rent a car, visit the North Shore, and then head back.
次,ハワイに行って何か一つだけ参加できると言われれば絶対これです!誰もが羨む体験をできます!やった人にしかわからない体験です.近くにはノースショアも近いのでレンタカーで行って,ノースショア巡って帰るのが良いと思います.

My first trip to Hawaii, and skydiving was the main event of my journey with my college-aged son. It was supposed to be scheduled for the day after our arrival, September 11. When we arrived at Honolulu Airport and checked my watch, it automatically adjusted to the local time. Little did I know, this was just the beginning of the mishaps...
The next morning, just before 6 AM, on my way back from getting breakfast, I spotted the skydiving van at the hotel entrance and thought, "Wow, they operate this early! I wonder where they go?" When I returned to the room and looked at the clock next to the bed, it showed 7:15 AM. The pickup was scheduled for 7:05 AM, so I rushed to the front desk and asked, "Is it already past 7? Is there no skydiving pickup?" Unfortunately, they had already left. I quickly called the number listed on the coupon from the front desk and was able to speak in Japanese with the driver who was picking up participants. I was informed that they were already heading to the airport and was advised to contact them to reschedule. I changed the date to the following day.
On September 12, the day of the skydiving, I was nervous but excitement prevailed. The plane climbed rapidly, spiraling at a steep angle, and before I knew it, we reached an altitude of over 4,200 meters. As soon as the engine slowed down, the door opened, and one by one, people jumped out without hesitation. I was the second to last to go. The cameraman clung to the outside of the exit, and as soon as I knelt down, the instructor behind me signaled, and I dove headfirst in a somersault. The only moment I felt scared was during the approximately three seconds it took to complete the flip. Once I spread my arms and legs and entered free fall, the fear disappeared. "What is this feeling? Is it pleasant?" No, it was "Incredibly amazing!" This sensation lasted for over a minute. Once we landed, I could immediately see my photos and video. Initially, I thought I would only buy the photos, but after watching the video, I found myself loosening my wallet.
On the way back to the hotel, the driver turned out to be the president of the diving center. Still buzzing with excitement, I expressed my desire to return and dive again someday by saying, "Thank you. See you next time." The president cheerfully replied, "See you tomorrow!!" He was a nice guy.
The DVD was edited with music, making it feel like a promotional video. I've converted it to MP4 and have watched it multiple times on my iPad and smartphone, dreaming of the next opportunity.
初めてのハワイ、スカイダイビングは大学生の息子との男二人旅のメインイベント。予定は到着の翌日9/11のハズでした。ホノルル空港に着いて腕時計を見ると、地元の電波で自動的に時間を指した。さすがハイテク機器と思ったのがハプニングの始まり・・・
翌朝AM6時前、朝食を買い出しに行った帰り、ホテルの玄関でスカイダイビングのバンを横目で見ながら、「こんな早朝でもあるんだ~。何処だろう?」と感心しながら部屋に戻ってベット脇の時計を見ると、なんとAM7:15を指している。ピックアップの予定はAM7:05、急いでフロントに駆けつけ「今、7時過ぎですか? スカイダイビングのピックアップは居ませんか?」と聞くが出発した後だった。直ぐにフロントからクーポン券に記載の番号に電話をすると、ピックアップ中の運転手と日本語で話ができた。もう飛行場に向かっているので、参加できる日を連絡するようにと告げられ、翌日に変更をした。
9/12、スカイダイビング当日、緊張はしているが期待が勝っている。飛行機は急角度で螺旋を描きながら、アッと言う間に高度4200m以上に到達する。エンジンがスローになった途端、シャッタを開けて間髪を容れずに次々に飛び出していく。私は最後から二番目。カメラマンが出口の外にしがみつき、私が片膝をついた途端、後ろで繋がったインストラクターの合図で、前転する様に頭からダイブする。「怖い。」と感じたのは、1回転するまでの約3秒間だった。手足を広げて自由落下になると恐怖感が消えた。「何、この感じは?」「気持ち良い?」いや「チョー気持ち良いーーー!」この感覚が約1分以上続いた。地上に降りると直ぐに自分の写真とビデオを見ることができます。ダイビングの前は写真だけと思っていたが、映像を見ると財布の紐が緩んでしまった。
ホテルまでの帰りのドライバーは、なんとダイビングセンターの社長でした。興奮が醒めない私は、またいつか戻ってきてダイブしたいという気持ちを込めて別れ際にThank you. See you next time. 社長の返答は See you tomorrow!!陽気なNice Guyでした。
DVDは音楽付きで編集されていて、まるでプロモーションビデオの様です。MP4に変換してiPadやスマホで何度も見ています。次の機会を夢見て。

What an amazing outdoor experience! This hike is a must do if you'd like to get a better understanding of the hidden nature Hawaii has to offer. Our guides, Keola and Marcella, shared a wealth of knowledge and gave us an unforgettable and valuable tour of the forested region of Oahu. Some parts of the trail are strenuous, so be prepared with some good hiking shoes/boots and plenty of water. We also had the opportunity to taste the fruit the trail had to offer, simply delicious. I highly recommend trying this hike if you plan on visiting the North Shore.

One of the purposes of my visit to Hawaii was this. My husband and I were supposed to participate together, but unexpectedly, he fell ill the day before, so I considered canceling. However, he encouraged me to go alone, and I did.

The photographer was very good at Japanese and made various efforts to help me relax. The instructor spoke mostly in English, so I think it would be better to have some speaking ability.
I experienced a new world. When I come to Hawaii next time, I would like to participate again with my husband.

Best way to visit the North Shore Area. There is so much to do on this tour I only wished it had lasted longer. We snorkeled at sharks cove where we saw beautiful fish and sea turtles, swam under a waterfall at Waimea Valley, visited sunset beach and turtle beach. We then hung out and ate in Haleiwa town. There are different options to choose from depending on your package. We missed Waimea bay - could not fit into schedule. Maybe next time. Highly recommend if you are NOT renting a car.

We had a wonderful time here. Our driver and escort provided lively Hawaiian music,taught us about sacred Hawaiian land, historic places where movies were filmed, and a list of Hawaiian vocabulary. As we got there we were greeted by employees while checking in. We saw every village and participated in some activities. We learned how to dance hula and play the ukulele. We also got to see the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The Luau portion was the best! I have never been satisfied with an endless luau buffet.Food was great but I have only one suggestion which is make sure you don't eat too much because you still need to attend the show HA The Breath of Life. The show was awesome with historic facts of how children were raised with the sense of Ohana in Hawaii. After watching this show my girlfriend and I are aware of how and what life means to the Hawaiians.Ultimately if you are planning on visiting Oahu and was interested in this activity, then don't hesitate to book it!

It was absolutely amazing!
I had breakfast at 6:00 and was picked up at the hotel at 6:45.
In the hotel lobby, the driver, Mr. Takahashi, taught me how to fill out the participation form.
You can take your time to fill out the documents on the bus, of course in Japanese.
We picked up participants from three or four hotels and arrived in about an hour.
The training consists of watching a video, explained in Japanese.
The content is simple: ① The position when jumping from the plane (arched back with arms crossed) ② Spread your arms at the instructor's signal (they will tap your shoulders twice) ③ Never touch the instructor ④ Leave the landing to the instructor (extend your legs forward).
The instructor also explains using simple Japanese and gestures.
If you request photos or videos, or both, a photographer will jump with you.
I chose photos, and there were 177 images in the data.
They will provide goggles on the plane.
During free fall, breathe through your nose, and if your ears hurt, pinch your nose and slowly release the air.
I hope everyone enjoys the wonderful scenery and the elegant journey through the sky! ♪

When my friend asked me to do this with him, I was a bit hesitant. Not knowing what to expect, my imagination relived several scenes in "Jaws". After doing some research and coming to the realization that North Shore does this on a daily basis without people loosing limbs, I agreed. It turned out to be an absolutely phenomenal experience. We arranged for the hotel pickup and once in the van, took the 45 minute ride to the North Shore area of Oahu. Once at the marina, it's about a 20-30 minute ride out to the cage. The Captain went over all the safety instructions thoroughly and describes what types of sharks we would be seeing. His shark lecture was very informative and wasn't stumped when questions were asked. Once at the site, the cage is secured to the side of the boat and after the 8-10 passengers get in, the cage is allowed to float away about 20 feet. Observing the sharks was a thing of beauty and simply can't be described in words. I would do this again in a heartbeat.
