the package includes 4:00 pm late admission, followed by the ali'i luau (dinner and show), then about an hour break before the start of "Ha" (the night show). there's a lot to see at the PSC and unfortunately you don't get to enjoy much of the park with a late admission, so if we'd had it over to do again we would've tried to get a package that let us enter earlier. the luau was really enjoyable, and the food in the buffet was surprisingly tasty! there's an hour between the end of the luau buffet and "Ha", so we went to see the Hawaiian history movie (sorry, can't remember the name of it), which involved 15 minutes of watching gorgeous scenery. "Ha" itself reminded many of us in the group of a polynesian version of "Lion King the musical", but the fire dancing finale was spectacular--definitely the highlight.

This was the best zip line experience I've ever done. Each line was a blast, the crew was fun to hang out with and they gave us drinks and food from the farm we flew over. The adventure of going from station to station was also fun. As the course went on they build your confidence to try new fun ways to fly. The views are spectacular of the North Shore. This experience is well worth the drive from Waikiki.

Skydiving was amazing and became a wonderful memory for a lifetime! People from all over the world gather to do skydiving, creating an international atmosphere in the waiting area. Unfortunately, the restroom was out of order, which made it inconvenient for the men who had to relieve themselves outdoors. Also, since you do acrobatic maneuvers during the skydiving, it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand. About 10% of the participants felt unwell.
スカイダイビングは素晴らしく、一生のいい思い出になりました!
世界中からスカイダイビングやるひとが集まってきていて、国際的な雰囲気な待合小屋でした。

We participated as a couple because we wanted to experience it. We were picked up early in the morning. Right away, we were asked to fill out a contract, and while there was an explanation, it was very rough and made us a bit anxious. The driving was also rough, and I felt so car sick that it was hard to read and fill out the contract, so everyone, please be careful.
As soon as we arrived, we were shown to our room, where they checked for any omissions in the contract and explained the upcoming schedule, but it was hard to understand. We were called right away, so we prepared and boarded the plane immediately. As the plane ascended, we enjoyed some amazing views that made us forget our fears. Gradually, as we gained altitude, the photographer opened the plane door, and when he gave the go-ahead, we had to brace ourselves. It was a very liberating dive, unlike a free fall! During the dive, the scenery was beautiful, and the exhilaration was incredible, but my ears hurt a lot. If you can't equalize your ears, you might not enjoy it. I had a great time descending slowly to the ground, but my wife's instructor was playful, spinning and diving sharply, which scared her a lot. She seemed to get sick afterward as well. The instructor who entertained us with the parachute was just luck. Mine was named Rick. My wife's instructor was a young jokester, but I’m sorry, I don’t remember his name.
To be honest, I feel like once in a lifetime is enough. My wife said she would never do it again (laughs).
と思い体験したいと思い夫婦で参加しました。
朝早くピックアップしてもらいました。すぐに契約書の記入を求められて説明がありましたが、とても雑な説明で少し不安になりました。また運転が荒く契約書を読み記入することも厳しいくらい車酔いしましたので、皆さん気をつけて下さい。
到着してすぐ部屋に案内されて契約書の記入漏れがないかの確認、これからのタイムスケジュールの説明がありましたが分かりづらかったです。私たちはすぐ名前が呼ばれたので準備をしてすぐ飛行機に。飛行機が高度を上げていく間は恐怖心もなくなるくら素晴らしい景色が楽しめました。徐々に高度が上がっていきカメラマンが飛行機のドアを開けたらゴーサインなので覚悟を決めてください。フリーホールとも違いすごい開放的なダイブでした!ダイビング最中、景色はとても綺麗で爽快感がすごいですが、とても耳が痛かったです。耳抜きできないと楽しめないかもしれません。私の方はゆっくり地上に降りて楽しかったですが、妻の方のインストラクターはグルグル回ったり急降下したりとおふざけがありとても怖かったそうです。降りてからも酔ってしまったようです。パラシュートで楽しませてくれるインストラクターはもう運ですね。私の方はリックという名前でした。妻の方はお調子者の若い人だったみたいで名前覚えてません、すいません。
正直な感想は人生一回でいいかなって感じです。妻は二度とやらないと言っていました(笑)
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
While we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the free fall and the scenery during the descent, we sincerely apologize that your wife, who joined you, felt scared and seemed to have gotten motion sickness, preventing her from fully enjoying the experience.
Upon confirming with the local operating company regarding the details of the descent, we learned that adjustments are made to ensure a safe return to the ground based on the situation at the time. Therefore, even if jumps are made at the same time, the descent may not be the same for everyone. Additionally, if someone experiences motion sickness during the descent, our local staff is available to provide assistance if notified at that moment. We understand that the lack of explanation may have contributed to your wife's anxiety, and we apologize for that.
We take your feedback seriously and will work with the operating company to improve our services in the future.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback during your busy schedule.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
フリーフォールや降下中の景色をお楽しみいただいたものの、ご一緒に参加されました奥様は怖い思いをされ、更には酔ってしまわれたようで、お楽しみいただくことができず申し訳ございません。
今回の内容を現地催行会社に確認させていただきましたところ、降下につきましては、その時の状況に応じて安全に地上に戻れるよう都度調整しているため、同じタイミングでジャンプされた場合でも同じように降下はしないとのことでございます。
また、降下中に酔ってしまった場合、その時、現地スタッフにお申し出いただけましたら対処法をご案内しておりますが、ご指摘されております通り説明が至らなかかったため、不安なお気持ちだったかと察します。
お客様からのお言葉を真摯に受け止め、催行会社と共に、今後さらなるサービス向上に努めてまいります。

I wrote the waiver in the car on the way there and watched a DVD with explanations. The DVD was in English, but the subtitles were only in Korean and Chinese, so it would have been nice to have Japanese subtitles as well.
When we arrived, it was raining, so we waited for about two hours before we could finally take off. I was nervous during the flight to the point in the Cessna, but once we jumped, I felt no fear, and the parachute opened in no time.
We floated for about five minutes while enjoying the breathtaking views of the North Shore before landing!
Lastly, I think it's a good idea to prepare about $20 in tips for the instructor who jumped with us. I didn't request a camera this time, but I would like to ask for one if I have the chance again.
現地に向かう車の中で誓約書を書き、説明のDVDを見ました。DVDが英語で字幕がハングルと中国語しかなかったので、日本語の字幕もあるといいなという感じでした。
着いた時に雨が降っていた為、約2時間程待ってやっと飛べました。セスナ機でポイントまで向かう間はドキドキでしたが、飛び出してからは恐さはなくあっという間にパラシュートが開きました。
ノースショアの絶景を楽しみながら約5分ほど浮遊して着地しました‼
最後に、一緒に飛んでくれたインストラクターのBOXにチップを20ドル程入れるので前もって準備していた方がいいと思います。
今回、カメラは頼みませんでしたがまた機会があったらお願いしたいと思います。

When it was our turn, unfortunately, clouds rolled in, so we couldn't reach 4260 meters, but they properly refunded us even though we didn't know how high we had gone. I think the company itself is a good one, and I had a valuable experience, so I'm very satisfied. Many people in our group didn't take photos, but I think it's better to request them. By the way, I'm not good with thrill rides. Those are scarier for me (laughs).

■Pickup
Around 5 AM, a pickup arrived at the hotel, and I was handed some documents. I read through the text in the car and signed a waiver, but be careful of motion sickness as the roads are bumpy.
In the car, a video in Japanese plays explaining that they can't take responsibility if you die while skydiving, and that the parachute may not open.
■Arrival at the Airport - Check-in
Upon arriving at the airport, I was taken to a room with small benches where I received a completely English explanation... What a surprise, it wasn't in Japanese!!!!
After most of the explanation was done, I was called up and asked questions like, "Are you just going to jump? Do you want a photographer?" While waiting in line, some people were directed to the Japanese class, while others, despite showing their Japanese passports, were not taken to the Japanese class.
I wasn't taken either, even though it said there would be a Japanese briefing... (I really wanted the explanation in Japanese...)
■Check-in Notes
The voucher was taken by the driver, but I was asked for the voucher again, and since the driver went missing, it would be better to prepare two vouchers or have the email ready to show immediately.
(I was checking the altitude on my email screen.)
■Waiting Time
They called out names for those who were ready, but it was raining from the morning. I waited for about 6 hours (or more?) until the clouds cleared after 1 PM.
(At first, they said we would wait until 11 AM, but I think we waited because some people were able to jump when it cleared up. There was nothing around, and I was really bored, so I recommend bringing something to pass the time!)
So, I was told to quickly put my belongings in a locker, but it’s safer not to store them right away, especially your phone. Lockers cost 25 cents for four. You can also exchange bills.
■Skydiving
It was amazing until the parachute opened. The feeling of the air as you jump is incredible. It’s a sensation I’ve never experienced before, with the wind blowing against my body. It was super fun.
After the parachute opened, the instructor was quite the character; even though he told me to spin, he kept saying, "Haha! I got it, I got it," while spinning around, and even though he said to go slowly, he was descending quickly, saying, "Haha! I got it, I got it." It wasn’t a joke; it genuinely made me feel nauseous. I thought I might throw up. I wanted to enjoy the scenery more slowly... but I think he meant well. It wasn’t necessary, though.
I could see the altimeter in the plane, and honestly thought, "Wait, we're jumping from here?" I wish they had told me earlier if we couldn't go higher. I had to rebook for the next day.
It was amazing until the parachute opened, so that’s what I regret the most.
*I took a one-day type of motion sickness medication, but because the waiting time was so long, I didn’t feel any effect by the time I jumped. I got really nauseous. I think it depends on the instructor.
I believe you need motion sickness medication for the car ride in the morning, so I recommend taking something that works quickly just before jumping!
■Tips
There are boxes for tips for each staff member, and you can put them in after the jump. You don’t have to worry about how to give them.
■Image and Video Check
Since I had a photographer, I was told to check the images and videos. Until my footage played, I just stared at videos of strangers. The data is purchased on a USB, so I recommend bringing it back as carry-on luggage.
■Return to the Hotel
It seems the car left right after I finished jumping, so I was left behind, and I ended up returning around 5 PM. The others who came with me had jumped much earlier. The order here is a mystery. Is it by application order?
On the day of skydiving, it might be better to think of it as lucky if you can return early.
■Impressions
Overall, I’m glad I did it! However, I’m really disappointed that the weather didn’t coopera
■迎え
朝の五時くらいにホテルに迎えが来て、書類を渡されます。車の中で文章を読み、誓約書に署名をするのですが、悪路が多いので車酔い注意です。
車の中では、スカイダイビングで死んでも責任取れないよ。パラシュートは開かないことがあるよという日本語の説明のビデオが流れてます。
■飛行場到着〜受付
飛行場に到着すると小さめのベンチが並ぶ部屋に連れて行かれ、完全英語の説明を受けました。。。なんてこった日本語じゃない!!!!
あらかた説明が終わると前に呼ばれ、「飛ぶだけ?カメラマンつける?」みたいな質問されます。並んでる最中に、日本語のクラスはあっちよみたいな感じで指示される人もいれば、
日本のパスポート出してるのに、日本語クラスに連れて行ってもらえない人もいました。
連れて行ってもらえませんでした。日本語講習って書いてあったのに。。。(日本語で説明受けたかったです。。)
■受付補足
バウチャーは運転手さんに持って行かれたのですが、ここでもバウチャー出してって言われた上、運転手さんが行方不明になっていたので、バウチャー2枚用意して行くか、メールの文面はすぐ出せるようにしておいた方が良いです。
(メール画面で高度確認してました。)
■待ち時間
用意のできた人から名前を呼ばれるんですが、行った日は朝から雨。雲が晴れる1時過ぎまで約6時間(それ以上?)ただひたすら待ちました。
(最初は待つのは11時までと言っていたんですが、たまに晴れて飛べる人たちが居たので待ったのかと。周りに何もなく、本気で暇なので、時間つぶし持って行った方が良いと思います!)
なので、荷物はロッカーにとっととしまえみたいに言われるんですが、すぐしまわない方が無難です。特に携帯。ロッカーは25セント4枚。紙幣も両替できます。
■スカイダイビング
パラシュートが開くまでは最高でした。飛び降りる瞬間の空気がうわーってなる感じ。あれはすごい。全身の脂肪が風にふかれて味わったことのない感覚。超楽しかったです。
パラシュート開いた後からはインストラクターがどエスだったので、回んなって言ってるのに「はっはっは!分かった分かった」って言いながらグルグル回るし、ゆっくりって言ってるのに「はっはっは!分かった分かった」って早く降りるし、フリじゃねーよ、本気で気持ち悪いよ。色んなもの吐くよって思いました。もっとゆっくり景色を楽しみたかった。。。いや親切心だったんだと思います。いらなかったけど。
飛行機の中で高度計見れるんですが、え、ここで飛ぶの?と正直思いました。上がれないなら先に言って欲しかった。次の日に予約し直したのに。
パラシュートが開くまでは最高だったので、本当それだけは無念です。
※私は1日タイプの酔い止めを飲んだのですが、待ち時間が非常に長かったためか、飛ぶ頃には全然効果を感じられませんでした。激酔いました。ここはインストラクター運あると思います。
酔い止めは朝の車用にも必要だと思うので、数時間タイプで、飛ぶ直前に速攻効くものを飲む事をお勧めします!
■チップ
チップはそれぞれ担当さんのボックスがあって、終わった後入れられるようになっています。渡し方とか考えなくて平気です。
■画像と映像のチェック。
カメラマンを入れたので、画像と映像チェックしてねと言われました。とりあえず自分のが流れるまでただひたすら知らない人の映像を眺めます。データはUSB購入なので、帰りは手荷物で持って帰る事を勧めます。
■ホテルに帰還
飛び終わってすぐ車が出てしまったようで、置いて行かれたので、戻れたのは結局17時頃でした。他に一緒に来た人たちはかなり先の方に飛んでました。ここの順番謎。申し込み順?
スカイダイビングする日は、早く帰れたらラッキーくらいの感覚でいた方が良いかもしれません。
■感想
全体的にやってよかった!と思うものの、天気に恵まれなかったのと最高高度までいけなかったのがすごい無念です。カメラマンさんは迷ってるならいれることを勧めます。簡単に出来る事じゃないし、やっぱり帰ってきてゆっくり確認してるとジワジワ飛んだ実感がわきます。
ちなみに私が訪問した時は、ベルトラさんで予約するより、直接オフィシャルのWEBサイトで予約する方が安かったです(ドル換算ですが)。
なぜこちらにしたかというと、高度に「絶対保証」と書かれていたためです。
最高高度まで行けなかったら説明がある、もしくは全額返金いただけるものと思っていました。上の説明にはそう書いてあるので。
(※実際は差額の返金で、そのことは下方の注意書きに書かれていました。)

I think it's something you should experience at least once in your life.
After jumping (or falling?), I was completely exhausted.
Before going, I was concerned about the tip, but considering the instructors who work hard every day risking their lives, I think it's reasonable to pay around $20.
I also requested photos. They have become great memories of the trip.
楽しかったです。
人生で一度くらいは経験してもいいのではないでしょうか?

You will be picked up by a shuttle bus at the hotel meeting point and taken to the airport on the North Shore. We gathered at 5:00 and arrived around 6:00. During the bus ride, we signed various consent forms, acknowledging things like "You won't sue us if something goes wrong," and so on. The bus ride also included important points about tandem skydiving, summarized as follows:
1. Right after jumping, bend your legs at a 90-degree angle and face backward. Do not spread your arms.
2. When your shoulder is tapped, spread your arms and enjoy the fall at 200 km/h.
3. During landing, you will be instructed to "lift your legs" and "stand," so follow the instructions.
Upon arrival, you will quickly choose the height of your fall and options (photo, video, or both). You can choose to have a tandem instructor take the photos or a separate cameraman. I recommend opting for the separate cameraman for more exciting videos. By the way, you can also add videos even after the jump. The restroom is a bit far, so you will need to take the shuttle to get there.
When you return from the restroom, the tandem instructor will explain what you saw in the video while helping you put on your gear. Before you know it, the plane's engine is running, and you board for takeoff. It takes about five minutes to reach the jump point, but everyone is silent, possibly out of fear, while the tandem instructors stir up anxiety by saying things like "Danger" in English.
Then, just as the cameraman jumps, it’s time to jump too!!!!
As you spin and get into position, you will soon feel a tap on your shoulder. The rapid ascent and descent can make your ears pop, so it’s good to be able to equalize, but time passes so quickly that you might not have much time to think. It’s better to have some poses in mind beforehand, but for now, just scream and enjoy!
Before you know it, the parachute opens, and you can enjoy the view. The yellow steering cords are handed to you, and you can steer left and right, which is quite fun. When landing, you come down with quite a bit of force, but if you listen carefully to your tandem instructor, it will be easy. Depending on the location, you might land on a slippery spot and get your pants wet.
After landing, you will be handed a yellow bag and asked for a tip! They suggest $20 or more, so I put in $20 and wrote a note of thanks. The video will play in the waiting area in about ten minutes, and after checking it, you’ll be asked if you want to buy it, and then it’s just a matter of taking the shuttle bus back. We left at 8:30 and returned to our hotel by 10:00. It might depend on the day, but if everyone on the shuttle jumps from the same height, the return trip should be smooth.
I think it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but you’ll want to jump again!
ホテルの集合場所でシャトルバスにてピックアップされ、ノースショアにある飛行場まで行きます。5時集合で大体6時すぎぐらいには到着していました。バスの中でいろいろと同意書にサインを行って。「死んでも訴えないでね?」的なことをOKって認める形です。また、バスの中ではタンデムスカイダイビングでの重要なポイントを下記の通り3つに絞って教えてくれます。
1.降りた直後は足を90度に曲げて顔は後ろに向ける。手はクロスするなりして広げない。
2.肩を叩かれたら手を広げて200キロのスピードでの落下を楽しむ。
3.着陸時は「足を上げて」「立って」といわれるので、指示に従う。
現地に着くと簡単に落下の高さ、オプション(フォト・動画・両方)を選びます。
タンデムの方 or 別のカメラマンが撮るかを選べます。 どうせなら別のカメラマンが
撮るほうが刺激的な動画が取れるのでお勧めです。
ちなみに、飛んでからでも動画を追加したりも出来ます。
また、トイレは少し離れたところにあるのでシャトルに乗っていくことになります。
トイレから戻ってくるとタンデムで一緒になる人が、ビデオで見たことを実際に
説明してくれながら装備を装着してくれます。
そして、気がつくとすでに飛行機にはエンジンがかかって、乗り込み離陸。
5分程度で落下地点に届きますが、怖いからかみんな無言で、タンデムの方たちが
英語で「デンジャー」とか不安をあおってきますw
そして、カメラマンが先に飛んだと思ったら数秒もたたないうちに
ジャンプ!!!!!!
くるくると回って体制が整うとすぐに肩を叩かれます。
急上昇と急降下でかなり耳がキーンとするので耳抜きを
出来るようになるといいですが、あまり考えることが出来ないくらいすぐに
時間が過ぎてしまいます。
どんなポーズをするかあらかじめ考えて置いたほうがいいですが、
とりあえず。叫んで楽しみましょう。
気がつくとパラシュートが開くのでそこからは景色を楽しみます。
操縦用の黄色の紐をたまたま?なのかわかりませんが、渡してくれて
右へ、左へと操縦させてくれました。結構面白いです。
着陸するときは結構な勢いで降りるのですが、
タンデムしてる人の言うことをちゃんと聞いてたら楽チンです。
場所によってはすべるところに着陸してズボンがぬれるかも?
着地後に黄色の袋を渡されて「Tip!」を要求されます。
20$以上とのことらしいので20$を入れてノートに感謝の気持ちを
記載して。10分程度で動画が待合室で流れるので、確認したら
買うかどうかを聞いて、あとはシャトルバスに乗るだけです。
8:30には出発して10:00には宿泊場所のホテルに帰れました。
日によるのかもしれませんが。シャトルに乗ってるひとがみんな同じ高さで
飛ぶならスムーズに帰れるのかもしれません。
一生に一度のいい思い出とおもいますが、次も飛びたくなりますよ!

The luau experience was fantastic. I would definitely recommend everyone that visits Oahu to go to this luau instead of any of the others. It's a little bit out of the way if your staying in the main city but if you're from the mainland a 1 hour drive is nothing. The luau teaches you about the history of the islands and how it became what itime is today. They have shows and activities for each of the stages that they present. I would advise to go as soon as they open to be able to do all the shows and activities. the buffet was okay, but what can you really expect from a buffet. "Ha!, breath of life" show after the dinner buffet is what made this luau worth the money. It's an unforgettable experience that everyone that visits should go to.
Mahalo Denny, Aloha oe!

The zipline at Kualoa Ranch is a great option. One of the advantages of the Keana Farm is that you can choose the zipline alone, which is not possible at Kualoa, and it includes round-trip transportation. At Kualoa, you can opt for round-trip transportation if you select other tours like the buggy, but if you choose the zipline alone, transportation is not included, making it difficult to get there.
You will zipline seven times with a group of ten people and three local foreign guides over about three hours. The tour description mentions a buggy ride (1.5 hours), but this does not refer to a self-driven buggy like at Kualoa, nor is it actually 1.5 hours; it refers to about a 20-minute buggy ride between the first and second ziplines.
While it seems like snacks are included, it's better to assume there will be almost none. The ziplining itself is very enjoyable, and the foreign guides are cheerful and entertaining. They are also very thorough about safety, which gives a sense of reassurance that the staff is well-trained.
Perhaps because it’s a tour for foreigners, the pickup vehicle did not arrive at the scheduled time (laughs). It takes about an hour and a half to get to Keana Farm from Waikiki, which felt very far. It would be good to have warm clothing to endure the cold car interior. No Japanese is spoken at all. I would like to go again.
クアロア牧場でもできるジップライン。こちらのケアナファームの良い点はクアロアでは不可のジップライン単独の選択+往復送迎があること。クアロアの場合、バギーなどの他のツアーを併せて選択すると往復送迎可能だが、ジップライン単独で選択すると往復送迎が付いていないので行きづらい。
10人1組に3人の現地外国人ガイドでジップラインを7本、約3時間かけてやります。
ツアー説明文にバギー(1.5時間)と書いてありますが、これはクアロアのような自分で運転するバギーでもなければ、1.5時間でもなく、1本目と2本目のジップライン間の移動のための20分ぐらいのバギー移動のことを指します。
軽食がついているかのような説明がありますが、ほぼないと考えておいた方が良いです。
ジップライン自体は非常に楽しく、また外国人ガイドも非常に陽気で面白いです。またとにかく徹底して安全に配慮されていますので、スタッフの教育がなされている感があり安心できます。
外国人用のツアーだからかもしれませんが、ピックアップの時間に送迎車は来ません((笑))
ケアナファームまでワイキキから1時間半。非常に遠いと感じました。
冷蔵庫のように冷えた車内での移動に耐えられる防寒着があると良いです。
日本語は全く通じません。
また行きたいと思っています。

Aloha Ms Cueno, we are very sorry to hear that the driver was not clear about things an only talked about food.
We will definitely talk to him about it.
Just to be clear, the tour package you bought included the kayak plus the admission to the falls park, but did not include a free lunch on us.
Some of the other customers use only one activity and have lunch on us -in lieu- of the second activity . Is this where the confusion started?
Our manager will call you to clarify everything with you.
Much aloha
