Skydiving was my first experience. It's something I want to try at least once in my life. I thought I would feel great flying like a bird, but the pressure on my ears was intense, and it felt like my eardrums were about to burst, haha. Even after landing, I felt nauseous, and the ride back to the hotel was hell. It's best to go when you're in perfect health.
I signed up on the same day I arrived in Hawaii, and I couldn't make it in time, so I took a taxi from the airport, which cost just over $100. While not everyone may do the same, it's something to keep in mind. In addition to the tour fee, you'll need to tip the instructor and pay for videos and photos. We ended up spending about 25,000 yen extra for two people.
The skydiving instructor was really cheerful, and we had a great time! Thank you for the valuable experience!!
スカイダイビングは初めての経験でした。
人生で一度は経験したいもの。
鳥のように気持ちよく飛べるのかなと思いきやすごい勢いで耳にものすごい圧がかかって鼓膜が破れそうに笑
降りてからも気持ち悪くて帰りのホテルまでの送迎は地獄でした。
体調は万全に整えて行ったほうがいいです。
ハワイに着いた当日に申し込んでおり、間に合わずタクシーで向かって空港からは100ドルちょっとかかりました。同じようなことするひとはいないかもしれませんが一応注意を。
ツアー代の他にインストラクターへのチップ、動画や写真代がかかります。
自分たちは二人で2万5千円ほど追加でかかりました。
スカイダイビングのインストラクターはすごく明るくて楽しい時間でした!
貴重な経験をありがとうございました!!

The activities themselves and the staff were good, but the shuttle tour was quite stressful.
First, the meeting time was 7:45, but the car did not arrive. There were other Westerners at the meeting point, and we were all waiting together, confirming that the shuttle had not come. At 8:05, one shuttle arrived. I felt relieved and tried to get on with others, but our names were not on the list. When I asked the driver, he said another car would come, so we had to wait... We had already been waiting for 20 minutes, and we were the only Japanese left behind. I started to worry whether our reservation was confirmed.
Even at 8:15, the car had not come. It was getting too late, so I left my companions and ran to the hotel front desk to make a call. However, I was told that they were delayed due to traffic and to wait another 10 minutes, so I ran back to the meeting point.
At 8:30, even after waiting more than the 10 minutes they mentioned, the car still had not arrived. I started to feel like canceling. For now, I ran back to the hotel front desk and called again. I was told it would come soon, so I ran back to the meeting point. Standing outside for so long made me anxious and angry, and I was getting tired.
At 8:40, the shuttle finally arrived. Since most of the passengers were Japanese, it seemed to be a car that gathered Japanese tour participants. Later, I found out that others had also been waiting without knowing what was going on.
Inside the car, the driver apologized for the delay, but since it was in English, I couldn't fully understand the reasons. We arrived at the destination safely. The activity itself was 20 minutes late, but I was in a group with other Japanese participants, and the staff were fun, plus the scenery was great, so it turned out to be a wonderful time.
Around 13:00, the activity ended. We collected our belongings and selected photos, but since we hadn’t been informed about the return meeting time, we just waited. At 13:30, since it was hot outside, the driver kindly let us into the car. I appreciated that.
However, while all the Japanese participants who did the activity got on, we had to wait because the members from the outbound shuttle were not all present. At 14:15, the remaining person arrived, apologizing as they got on. We departed, but I had expected to be back in Waikiki by 14:30, which messed up my plans for the day. I thought if they had informed us of the return meeting time, we wouldn’t have been delayed this much.
Around 15:30, we returned to the hotel in Waikiki.
As I mentioned, I cannot trust the shuttle timing at all. Additionally, all communication is in English, and using a mobile phone abroad is difficult, which made me very anxious and stressed. The staff were all nice, and the activity was enjoyable, but it seems that no one is managing or taking responsibility for the schedule and timing of the optional tour with shuttle service. In this situation, I cannot recommend it to others, and I think improvements are necessary, so I will give it one star.
アクティビティ自体も、スタッフも良かったですが、送迎付きツアーとしてはストレスが溜まりました。
まず、集合時間7:45でしたが車が来ない。欧米人の方も待ち合わせ場所にいて、お互い同じツアー参加者で送迎車が来ないことについて確認したりして待っていました。
8:05に一台の送迎車が到着。ほっとして他の方と一緒に乗り込もうとしますが、私達の名前はなく、運転手に聞くと、もう一台車が来るから待つようにと…既に20分待っている上、残されるのは日本人の私達だけ。予約が取れているのか不安になります。
8:15になっても車は来ない。いくらなんでも遅すぎるので同行者を残し、ホテルのフロントに走り、電話をかけます。しかし、道路渋滞?のため遅れているからと、あと10分まつように言われ、集合場所に走って戻ります。
8:30、言われた10分以上待っても車が来ない。キャンセルしたくなってきます。とりあえずもう一度ホテルのフロントに走り、再度電話します。すぐ来ると言われ、また集合場所に走って戻ります。ずっと外で立ちっぱなしでいることもあり、不安と怒りで疲れます。
8:40、やっと送迎車到着。大半が日本人だったので、日本人のツアー客を集めた車のようです。後で聞いてみると、他の方もよく分からずずっと待っていた様子。
車の中で、運転手が遅れたことを謝っていましたが、英語なので理由等はよくわかりませんでした。
無事に現地到着。アクティビティ自体は20分遅れでしたが、他の日本人の方と一緒のグループでしたし、スタッフさんも楽しい方で、景色も良く最高の時間でした。
13:00頃アクティビティが終了。荷物を回収したり、写真を選びますが、帰りの集合等は聞いていないためそのまま待ちます。
13:30、外が暑いため、運転手さんが気を利かせて、車の中に入れてくれました。これはありがたかったです。
しかし、一緒にアクティビティをしていた日本人は全員乗り込みましたが、行きの送迎車のメンバーが揃っていないため、この状態で待ちます。
14:15、まだ来ていなかった方が謝りながら乗車。出発しましたが、14:30にはワイキキに戻れると思っていたため、当日の予定が狂います。最初に帰りの集合時間等を知らせておけばこんなに遅れなかったのでは?と思いました。
15:30頃、ワイキキのホテルに帰着。
以上のとおり、送迎については時間が全く信用できません。また、やりとりは全て英語になりますし、海外では携帯も使いづらいため、とても不安で、ストレスが溜まりました。
スタッフは皆さん良い方でしたし、アクティビティも楽しかったですが、送迎付きのオプショナルツアー記載の日程や時間については、誰も管理されてないし、責任もないのだと思います。
この状態では他の人におすすめはできないのと、改善した方が良いと思うので、星は1つにします。

Right after jumping out of the Cessna, I was really scared, but the beautiful scenery of Hawaii spread out before me made me forget my fear. I'm really glad I took on this challenge.

During free fall, it felt more like flying than falling, and it was amazing. With a photographer, you can get beautiful shots during free fall, but they can't take photos while the parachute is deployed. With an instructor, they can take photos until the very end, so I felt there are pros and cons to both options.
フリーフォール中は落ちているというより、飛んでいる感覚で、最高でした。カメラマン付きだとフリーフォール中は綺麗に撮ってもらえますが、パラシュートの間は撮れないです。インストラクターだと最後まで撮ってもらえるので一長一短と感じました。

Jumping from a Cessna at an altitude higher than the clouds!
I thought it would be a straight free fall, but I was instructed to hold hands with the instructor and descend while spinning, and even got to steer after the parachute opened... I came down sideways and while rotating. It was quite thrilling.
My wife, perhaps a bit nervous, enjoyed the descent while listening to the explanations of the scenery and taking in the breathtaking views. She mentioned it was even more fun than she expected.
I will definitely repeat this experience on my next visit.
P.S. The ground guide, Masa, is also fun and kind. I hope to see him again.

Our guide Keola was the best. He provided us with valuable information about the eco system, history about the North Shore and Hawai’i and safety information during the hike.
The area is absolutely stunning. If you want to do something away from the commercial and touristy stuff in Waikiki this is a great way to see Hawai’i in all its beauty.
I would ensure you wear good hiking shoes or trail running shoes. Also this hike is not a leisure walk. You will earn your lunch.

I was planning to take a bus near H&M and was waiting for its arrival. It didn't come for 5 minutes, but it eventually arrived, and I boarded. After about 30 to 40 minutes of bouncing on the bus, we arrived at the airport. Inside the bus, we watched an instructional video and filled out a contract. I was a bit surprised by the contents of the contract.
Upon arriving at the airport, a woman asked if we wanted to take photos or videos. After that, we checked our luggage and followed the instructions from the staff. After receiving the explanation, we waited about 5 minutes for the Cessna to arrive. I was impressed by the speedy response here as well.
The Cessna arrived, and we boarded directly. We flew for about 10 minutes, reaching an altitude of around 4,200 meters, and then we jumped out one after another. I was surprised at how quick it felt.
The moment of jumping was very scary, but once in the air, the strong wind made it feel less terrifying, almost like being on a roller coaster, and I was desperately falling. The change in air pressure caused pain in my ears and made it hard to breathe. As the parachute opened and we descended to the ground, it spun around a bit, giving a floating sensation similar to being on a roller coaster, which was fun.
It seems there are individual differences, as some people may feel nauseous. Even though I'm not a fan of roller coasters, I found skydiving enjoyable, so I definitely recommend giving it a try!

I signed up for the 9 o'clock session, but the meeting time was at 4:30. From there, we visited several hotels for pickups and then headed to the airport with about an hour's drive. Eating and drinking were prohibited in the car, so I woke up early and had a light breakfast before heading out. We watched a 10-minute video about safety precautions in the car and filled out liability forms, then I dozed off. In America, the legal system is quite detailed, and the forms had a lot of information.
Once we arrived at the airport, the staff checked our documents and collected our passports (copies are acceptable). The elderly staff member's explanations were a bit unclear; for instance, they didn’t mention that there were coin lockers available, and they told us not to use the lockers because they would watch our bags, but they didn’t really keep an eye on them... so I think it’s better to act with personal responsibility. The lockers can be used with four 25-cent coins. If you want to take photos with your iPhone or similar, it’s better not to put it in the locker; I left mine on the table in the waiting area during the skydiving.
About eight groups board the plane at a time, so there is a wait. There was a food truck, so we could have light snacks and drinks while waiting. When it was my turn, I got fitted with a harness and practiced how to jump with my assigned instructor. All the instructors were very energetic and friendly! They gave instructions in simple Japanese, but the basic conversation was in English.
And then, finally, it was time for takeoff! We ascended to an altitude of 4,200 meters over about 10 minutes. The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I could see Waikiki and Diamond Head! From there, it was over in a flash! Without hesitation, we jumped (or fell?) one by one! The sensation of freefall was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It didn’t feel like floating; it felt like I was cutting through the cold wind. Strangely, there was no sense of fear! In fact, I felt more scared after the parachute opened... After about five minutes in the air, we landed successfully, just as we practiced!
I received a certificate, and that was it. The instructor handed me a bag for tips, so I put in $20 and dropped it in the box. I waited for about an hour until the pickup car arrived, and we returned to Waikiki just after 11. Since there is some waiting time, I think it’s a good idea to bring light snacks like cookies. It was a sensation I had never experienced before, and it was so much fun! I think everyone should try it at least once in their lifetime!
9時からの回に申し込みましたが集合時間は4:30でした。
そこからいくつかホテルを周りピックアップをしてから1時間ほどのドライブで飛行場まで向かいます。
車内は飲食禁止なので早起きして軽く朝食を食べてから向かいました。車内で注意事項等のビデオを10分ほど見て、免責等の書類を記入してあとはウトウトしていました。アメリカは訴訟社会、かなり細かく記載がありました。
飛行場に着いてからスタッフの方に書類のチェックとパスポート(コピー可)の提出を行います。高齢のスタッフの方でしたが説明がわかりずらく、コインロッカーがあるのに説明がなかったり、自分が荷物を見ててやるからロッカーは使うな(でもほったらかしで見てなかった・・・)と言ってみたりだったので自己責任のもと行動した方がいいと思います。
ロッカーは25セントコイン4枚で使用できます。自分のiPhoneなどで写真を取りたい方はロッカーには入れずスカイダイビング中は待合所のテーブルの上に置いていっていました。
飛行機には8組くらいづつ乗り込むので順番待ちをします。フードトラックがきているので軽食を食べたり飲み物を飲むこともできました。
順番が来たらハーネスをつけてもらい、自分の担当のインストラクターの方と飛び方の練習をします。どのインストラクターの方もテンションが高めで感じのよい方達です!指示は簡単な日本語でしてくれますが、基本会話は英語になります。
そしていよいよテイクオフ!10分ほどかけて高度4200メートルまで上がります。海がとっても綺麗でワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドまで見渡せます!そこからはあっという間!ためらう間も無く順番に飛んで(落ちて?)行きます!フリーフォール中の感覚は今までにない感覚。ふわっと感はなくって冷たい風の中をくぐり抜けている感じ。恐怖感は不思議とない!それよりもパラシュートが開いてからの方が怖かった・・・5分ほど空中を飛んでから着陸。練習通りにできました!
証明書をいただいておしまいです。インストラクターの方にチップを入れる袋を渡されるので20ドル〜を入れて箱に入れておきます。
迎えの車が来るまで小一時間待ち、11時過ぎにはワイキキに戻りました。
待っている時間がちょこちょこあるのでクッキーみたいな軽食を持っていくといいと思います。

I took an Uber to get there.
From the road, I could see a green-roofed waiting area with several chairs and a table that had a simple guide in Japanese on how to ride.
There were only me and my daughter, a white man, and a cute girl who guided us, making a total of three people.
We enjoyed a leisurely horseback ride through the fields and North Shore.
Sometimes the horse would stop to eat grass or urinate, which was also fun.
We thoroughly enjoyed 90 minutes on the North Shore.
If you're expecting a fast-paced ride, it might feel a bit lacking, but if you want to relax and enjoy, it's perfect.
Since there were no other Japanese people in the later group, it felt very Hawaiian.
I was a bit anxious because the Uber driver who brought us said it would be difficult to get an Uber back, but I was able to ride after waiting for 20 minutes.
I think it's a bit far from Waikiki, but I highly recommend this horseback riding experience.

I like roller coasters and have experienced bungee jumping, so I thought I had a good tolerance for thrills, floating sensations, and heights. However, skydiving felt more like a constant state of motion sickness. As soon as I jumped, I was hit by an intense wind that made it hard to breathe, and my contact lenses flew away. Once the parachute opened, it felt like being spun around in a coffee cup at an amusement park, and I just wanted to come down quickly.
Additionally, the tour bus to the airport was shared with others. The bus had a capacity of about 20 people, and several buses arrived at the same time. This meant that with the foreigners included, there were about 60 to 80 people receiving explanations, but the plane that actually took off had only 8 seats, resulting in a significant wait time.
I’m not sure if the order for boarding the plane was random, but we left the hotel at 5:00 AM and arrived at the site by 6:30 AM, yet we didn’t get to skydive until 9:00 AM. We left the airport at 11:00 AM and got back to the hotel just after 12:00 PM.
Since some people can feel nauseous during skydiving, we weren’t allowed to eat anything in the morning until after the jump. Even after we finished, there was nothing nearby in the isolated airport area, just one truck with a food stall. It was so crowded that I couldn’t even buy a drink, so I recommend bringing your own water.
I personally don’t want to skydive again, but my husband, who doesn’t get motion sickness, said he had fun and would like to do it again, so it might depend on the person.
For those who want to create lasting memories, I highly recommend adding the photo option, even though it’s a bit pricey.
ジェットコースターは好きだし、バンジージャンプも経験したことがあるのでスリルや浮遊感、高所に対しての免疫は十分ある方でしたが、スカイダイビングはどちらかというと終始船酔いのような感覚でした。飛び降りると同時にものすごい強風に晒されるので息が上手くできなかったことや、装着していたコンタクトレンズはどこかへ飛んで行ってしまいました。パラシュートが開いてからは遊園地のコーヒーカップ?をぐるぐる回されているような感覚で早く降ろしてほしい気持ちでいっぱいでした。
また、移動のツアーバスは乗り合いで飛行場に向かいました。バスは20人ほどのキャパで何台かが同時に現地到着。つまり外国の方も合わせると60〜80人ほど説明を受けていますが実際上に上がる飛行機は8人乗りのため待ち時間がかなり発生しました。
飛行機に乗せてもらえる順番はランダムなのか、5時にホテルを出発し現地には6時半には着きましたがスカイダイビングできたのが9時です。帰宅できたのは11時に飛行場を出発して12時すぎのホテル着でした。
スカイダイビングは気分が悪くなる人もいるので吐いてしまうといけないからと朝は飛び終わるまで何も食べれません。飛び終わってからも隔離された飛行場内では近くに何もなくトラックが一台で屋台を出しているだけでした。
混雑して飲み物さえ買えないので事前にお水などは持っていくことをお勧めします。
私は二度とスカイダイビングをしたいとは思いませんが、主人は気分が悪くならないタイプだったので、楽しかった!またしたい!と言っていましたので、人によるのかもしれませんが…
むた思い出に残したい方は少し高い金額ですが絶対に写真撮影はオプションでつけることをお勧めします。

Skydiving was the best memory. I had a separate photographer with me, and looking back, the photos turned out to be fantastical and beyond my imagination. I definitely recommend it!
スカイダイビングをして、最高の記念になりました
カメラマンを別につけて飛んだのですが、後から見ると幻想的な想像以上の写真が撮れていました
絶対にオススメします

This was my second jump, but it was my friend's first experience. They were nervous the whole time, and their face was tense, but after actually jumping, they were all smiles and said, "I'm glad I did it! I think I'm hooked!!"
I regret not being able to see the person in the wingsuit jump from the same plane, as I missed that part due to the order of jumps.
Regarding photos and videos, it's definitely better to have a photographer jump with you! I chose a GoPro, but since the instructor's hands are unavailable during the parachute stage, I only got footage up until that point. I felt disappointed thinking that if there had been an explanation beforehand, I would have definitely opted for a photographer. Also, the explanation was given by an elderly Japanese man, so there were no issues with Japanese language support. However, I was repeatedly told that if I had chosen a plan to jump from a lower altitude, it would be better not to do it at all, that it was meaningless, and that I should definitely jump from a higher place. I felt quite disappointed and stubbornly didn’t change my mind, but in the end, I was told, "It's a waste, but I don't know," as a parting remark. After a long conversation like that, I ended up going to the reception without watching the video I was supposed to see. I can't help but think that if I had been able to watch more videos at that time, I could have reconsidered my choices for photos and videos.
Additionally, it seemed that the data from the GoPro was supposed to be transferred via Airdrop, which I only learned after the jump. There was no explanation about that at the beginning. The Airdrop transfer didn’t go well, and when I checked after leaving the airfield, the data I thought I had received was nowhere to be found; it had disappeared. When I called to inquire, the phone support was very disappointing, and they said they wouldn't know anything unless I came back. I asked if there were any methods other than Airdrop, but the person didn’t know, so I ended up having to go back. Since I had already driven about 30 minutes away, it resulted in a significant loss of time, and I couldn’t go to the beach I had planned to visit. After returning, the attitude of the staff at the reception was also not very good, which was very disappointing considering it was such a great experience overall.
Last time, I jumped in Hawaii, and I felt that the overall support there was better. Skydiving itself is highly recommended, and I can confidently say that you should definitely try it!
私は2回目のジャンプでしたが、友達は初めての挑戦でした。
終始緊張していて、顔もこわばっていましたが、実際飛んだ後はとても笑顔で「やって良かった!ハマりそう!!」と言っていました。
モモンガスーツの人が同じ飛行機にいて、順番的にその方が落ちるところが見れなかったのが心残りでした。
写真やムービーに関しては絶対にカメラマンに飛んでもらった方が正解です!
私はGoproを選びましたが、パラシュートの段階でインストラクターの方の手が使えなくなるのでその前までの映像でした。
事前に説明があれば絶対カメラマンに飛んでもらったのにな…と残念さを感じました。
また、説明は日本人?のおじいさんがしてくれたので日本語の対応は全く問題ありません。
しかし低い高度から飛ぶプランを選んでいたら、それならやらない方がマシ、意味がない、絶対高い所から飛ぶべきと何度も言われました。
なんだか残念でこちらも頑なに変更しなかったのですが、最後は勿体無いけどしらないよと捨て台詞でした。
そんな会話が長くあり実際見るはずのビデオなどは見ずに受付に行く事になりました。
この時にビデオをもっと見れていたら写真ムービーの時の選択を考えられたと思わずにはいられません。
またGoproの場合はデータをAirdropで渡す事になっていたようで飛んだ後に知りました。
その説明も最初にらありませんでした。
Airdropのやり取りが上手く行かず、一度は来たと思ったデータが飛行場を出た後に確認したところどこにもなく消えてしまっていました。
電話で問い合わせたところ、あまりにも残念な電話対応の末に戻ってきてもらわなきゃわからないと。Airdrop以外の方法はないのか聞きましたが、この方にはわからないとの返答だったため結局戻ることに。
30分ほど車で進んでしまっていた為、かなりのタイムロス。予定していたビーチに行くことが出来ませんでした。
戻った後の受付の方の態度もあまり良くなく、とても良い体験だっただけにその辺りがとてもとても残念でした。
前回はスカイダイブ・ハワイで飛びましたが
そちらの方が全体的に対応が良かった印象です。
スカイダイビング自体はとてもオススメで、絶対にやった方が良い!と言い切れます!

There are few activities that small children can do, and this place has a calm atmosphere with fewer people. The staff was kind, and we were able to enjoy it as a family. Even those who don't ride can walk alongside, allowing for photos during the ride. It became a wonderful memory, spending time exclusively as a family rather than in a group like at places such as Kualoa Ranch.
小さな子供ができる数少ないアクティビティで人も少なくゆっくりとした雰囲気でスタッフの方も優しくて家族で楽しむことが出来ました。乗馬しない方も歩いて付き添う事が出来るので乗馬中の写真なども撮ることができます。クアロアランチのように団体で、ではなく家族オンリーの時間を過ごす事ができる素敵な思い出になりました。
私たちはあなたが素晴らしい時間を過ごしたことをとても嬉しく思います!また来ていただけることを願っています!
We are so glad you had a great time! We hope you come again!

Barely arrived on spot, shark fins started to show around our boat. That alone was already impressive and exciting!
While in the cage, you get to admire them gracefully swim around and under the cage... beauty!
Few tips:
- Waterproof phone pouch with wrist lanyard recommended to take underwater videos, we're so glad we had one! Just make sure not to live the whole experience through your phone ;)
- Even if you're not sea/motion sick, I suggest you have a ginger chew or two (Chimes brand are good). This will help settle your stomach as it can get bumpy under there.
Big thanks to our guides, very chill and knowledgeable!
PS: we also got to see dolphins splashing and following our boat on the way back, that was also priceless!

It was absolutely amazing, with no fear at all compared to the airplane or roller coasters, just pure enjoyment. The breathtaking views of the sky, sea, and mountains were also fantastic. My husband, who was more nervous than I was, said it was the most fun he's ever had and is still excited about it. I want to fly again, and I even feel like I want to get my own license.
On the way there, the machine was malfunctioning, and we couldn't see the video explanation, but the instructor was very relaxed, and it was not a problem at all. They conducted thorough safety checks, and I felt reassured knowing they are professionals who fly multiple times a day. The cheerful instructors kept us entertained even before we took off.
旅行の飛行機よりも絶叫コースターよりも恐怖感は全くなく、気持ちよくて最高でした。空と海と山の絶景も最高でいた。
私よりビビッてた主人も、人生で一番楽しいかったと未だ興奮さめやらぬです。
また飛びたい、自分でも免許とりたくなくほどです。
行きの車中で機械の調子が悪くビデオ説明が見れなく、インストラクターの軽いだけでしたが、全く問題ありません。
安全チェックはしっかりしてくれて、さすが1日に何回も飛んでる、プロだと安心さえおぼえました。
陽気なインストラクターばかりで、飛ぶ前から楽しませてくれました。

It was my first skydiving experience, and the instructors and cameramen were very friendly, which made me feel at ease. I heard that the Japanese staff are really dedicated to improving the quality of service. I was alone, but they talked to me, and it was fun! It became a lifelong memory. I highly recommend it.

I had been vaguely thinking about wanting to try this someday, but about ten years ago, my husband experienced it and said it was really great, so we decided to participate together this time.
In conclusion, I’m really glad we joined!
I have a fear of heights to the point where my legs shake when I climb up a slide or look down from a high floor of a building, but the instructor jumped with us, so I hardly felt any fear! It was a little scary while we were on the plane and when the parachute opened and we were suspended in the air, but the beautiful scenery made the fear fade quite a bit.
I think that experiencing going through the clouds is something you can only do by skydiving, so I recommend it to anyone who is interested! You can easily decline the photos and videos if you don’t want them, but I regret not accepting them, so if you’re unsure, I think it’s a good idea to keep them as a memory.
I want to participate again when I go to Hawaii!
いつかやりたいな〜と漠然と思っていましたが、10年ほど前に夫が経験してとても良かったとのことだったので今回2人で参加しました。
結論、参加して本当に良かったです!
自力で滑り台に登ったりビルの高層階から下を覗き込んだりすると足が震えてしまうくらい高所恐怖症なのですが、インストラクターさんが一緒に飛んでくれるのでほぼ恐怖を感じませんでした!
飛行機に乗ってる間と、パラシュートが開いてから宙吊りになってる間はちょっと怖かったですが…景色の良さでかなり怖さは薄れました。
雲の中を突き抜けるなんてスカイダイビングやらないと経験すること無いと思うので、興味のある方は参加された方がいいと思います!
写真とムービーはいらなければ問題なく断れますがわたしは断ったことを後悔しているので、迷っているなら形として思い出に残してもいいと思います。
ハワイに行ったらまた参加したいです!

Mahalo Larry for taking the time to leave a testimonial. It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Keola - he is one of the best! Yes, our hikes are definitely not leisure nature walks so weʻre glad that you folks were down for an adventure. Take care, safe travels, and we hope to see you again in the islands.
