North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

15-20 Sharks

Reviewed by: Geoff & Louise Davis

We attended this trip in September 2014, & from the start the staff were fun, knowledgeable & helpful. The sea was a bit choppy as we had the 10-00 am trip, but with Gravol inside, no issues here.
The ocean was crystal clear. the cage was a bit buffeted, due to waves, but this did not spoil our enjoyment of seeing sharks at close quarters, in their environment.
We saw around 15 sharks, & thought this was brilliant. would highly recommend.

絶景スカイダイビング　一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動！ビデオ＆写真撮影付きプランあり　by ゴージャンプハワイ＜送迎付き＞

The view is the best, surpassing the pain. 痛みも超えて最高の眺め

Reviewed by: よしやん

It was quite scary when one person after another fell, but once I started flying, the excitement was incredible and I had a lot of fun. The only downside was that the buckle in the crotch area hit my testicles through my pants and it was painful, but overall, the people who jumped with me and the cameraman were cheerful and made it enjoyable.

一人また一人と落ちて行った時はかなり怖かったですが、飛んでからは興奮の方が凄くて、楽しかったです。ただ股の所の留め具がズボン越しに睾丸に当たって痛かったのが唯一の汚点ですが、全体的には一緒に飛んでくれる人もカメラマンも陽気で楽しませてくれました。

絶景スカイダイビング　一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動！ビデオ＆写真撮影付きプランあり　by ゴージャンプハワイ＜送迎付き＞

It was amazing, but unfortunately, I couldn't take any photos... What a shame. 最高でしたが、写真が撮れていなかった・・・残念

Reviewed by: ケンケンパパ

After reading this experience, I mustered the courage to sign up, and it was definitely the right decision. Normally, I can't handle roller coasters and I have a fear of heights, but this was completely different. I believe the sense of security I felt came from reading this review, which made me feel no fear at all.

Since I opted for a rental car instead of shuttle service, I arrived after 9 AM and found that the group with shuttle service had already arrived, so I had to wait until about 10:30 for my dive. During that time, we only watched a simple DVD, which might seem a bit lackluster, but I knew from this review that such a level of knowledge was sufficient, so I didn't feel anxious.

When it was finally my turn to board the plane and dive, I was filled with excitement. Since I was last in line on the plane, I had the chance to enjoy the scenery and watch others jump out. At the moment of the dive, I was instructed to lift my chin and was pushed back, so I didn't look down when I jumped. I didn't feel the fear of jumping into empty space; it felt like an immediate experience of weightlessness from free-falling.

I signed up for the DVD and photos as an additional option, but unfortunately, none of the photos were taken, so I deducted one star. Additionally, the cameraman came close during the free fall and held my hand for a while, which prevented me from seeing the surrounding scenery, which was a bit disappointing.

After the parachute opened, the cameraman needed to land first to capture the scenery and our landing moment, so we descended slowly.

On a windy day, there might be severe swaying, but the descent was at a level of rolling for the sake of the view and a bit of thrill, so I didn't experience any motion sickness.

Regarding tips, after landing, we were immediately taken to the tip box area, where we were prompted to pay tips into boxes for each instructor and cameraman. I think it’s better to pay the cameraman's tip after checking the photos and video, unlike the instructor. In the viewing room, we watched the footage, and then paid for the options at the counter, where I was informed that no photos were taken. Since multiple people's data was displayed in the viewing room, I thought mine was just not playing, but I learned at the final payment that there was a shooting error. It would be wise to confirm that before heading to the tip box area. I ended up tipping generously in my high spirits after landing, but later felt I had overpaid the cameraman.

If you go by rental car, you can complete your payment and leave right away, but those with shuttle service seemed to wait around after their dive until the bus to Waikiki, which only departs once a day after 12 PM. To make the most of your time, it’s best to go by rental car and enter around 8:30 AM before the shuttle group arrives.

この体験談を見て勇気をだして申し込みましたが、大正解でした。
普段はジェッタコースター系も乗れないし、高所恐怖症でもあったのですが、
これは全くの別物でした。
この安心感もほぼこの体験談を読んでいたことで、全く恐怖感を感じなかったからだと思います。

送迎なしにしてレンタカーで行きましたので、9時過ぎに到着し、既にバス送迎付組が到着していたので、その後でのダイブとなりましから10時半ごろまで待ちました。
その間簡単なDVDを見るだけでしたので、いい加減に感じるところかもしれませんが
この体験談で、そんな知識レベルで十分であることを知っていましたので、不安に感じませんでした。

いざ順番になり飛行機に乗り込みダイブするまで、どちらかというとワクワク感でいっぱいでした。その機内での順番が最後だったので、ゆっくり景色を見たり、どんどん飛び出していくのを見てからでした。ダイブの瞬間は顎を上にあげるようにと、おでこを後ろに押されるので、下を見ていない瞬間に飛び出すので、何もない空間に飛び出す恐怖も感じることはなく、いきなりフリーフォールによる無重力体験のようでした。

追加オプションでDVDと写真を申し込んだのですが、残念ながらその写真が全く撮れていなかったので★を1つマイナスとしました。
また、そのカメラマンがフリーフォール中に近づいてきて、しばらくの間手をつないでくるのですが、そのことで周りの景色が見れなかったのも少し残念です。

パラシュートを開いてからは、景色を見せるためや、こちらの着地の瞬間を撮影するためにカメラマンを先に着地させる必要があるので、ゆっくりと降下していきます。

おそらく風の強い日だと横揺れがひどいのかもしれませんが、景色のためと少しのスリルのためにローリングしながらの降下というレベルでしたので、乗り物酔いという感覚は出ませんでした。

■チップについて
着地後は、すぐにチップ箱コーナーに連れて行かれ、インストラクター及びカメラマンのところの各人の名前の箱にチップの支払いを促されますが、インストラクターは別として、カメラマンのチップの支払いは、写真とビデオの確認してからでいいと思います。
試写室で映像を見てその後カウンターでオプションの代金支払いとなりますが、その時に写真が撮れていなかったと説明されました。試写室では複数の人のデータが次々映し出されますので、自分のものが再生されていないだけで撮れている思っていましたが、最後の受付での支払い時に撮影ミスと説明されましたので、そこを確認してからチップ箱コーナーに行き、支払うほうが賢明です。
自分は、着地後のハイテンションのままチップをはずんだのですが、後からカメラマンに対しては払いすぎたと感じてしまいました。
チップコーナーには連れて行かれますが、すぐにその場を離れていきますので、ゆっくり後からでも支払いはできます。

■レンタカーで行くとすぐに支払完了で帰れますが、バス送迎付組は早く来てもダイブ後は1日1回の12時過ぎのワイキキ方面バスが出るまで退屈そうに待っていました。
時間を有効に使うにはレンタカーで行き、バス送迎付組組到着前の8時半ごろエントリーがベストでないでしょうか。

Wonderful experience! 素晴らしい体験！

Reviewed by: 彩り夏子

This was my third time in Hawaii, and I finally got to go skydiving! It was incredibly fun!!!

I filled out the paperwork in the car and then fell asleep until we arrived at the center. Once we got there, we watched a safety video and waited for our turn. When I requested photos, a photographer joined us and started filming even before we jumped. (They can take both photos and videos.)

We took a small plane and went higher than I expected, and then we dropped in an instant. It's a shame that there weren't many photos with me looking at the camera, as I couldn't see where the photographer was. But the guide was definitely looking at the camera, which was funny.

Once the parachute opened, there was a detailed explanation of what we could see, and the beautiful scenery spread out before us.

After landing, they showed the videos in order, and my friends and I had a good laugh while waiting for the footage. After checking the video, I decided to buy it too! (But in the end, I just got the photos.)

We had to wait until noon for the return bus, so there was quite a bit of waiting time, but it was enjoyable to watch others jump and land♪

If I have the chance to go again, I would definitely like to participate!

3度目のハワイにして念願のスカイダイビング！
すごくすごく楽しかったです！！！

車の中で書類を書き、あとはセンターに着くまで爆睡。。。
着いてからは安全に関するビデオを見て、順番を待ちました。
写真を頼むとカメラマンがついて、飛ぶ前からビデオをとってくれます。
（写真だけでもビデオもとってくれます）

ちっちゃい飛行機で思った以上に高いところまでいき
あ！っという間に落ちます。
カメラマンがどこか分からず、カメラ目線の写真が少ないのが残念。
でもガイドのおじちゃまはしっかりカメラ目線でした笑

パラシュートが開いてからはどこに何が見えるのか丁寧な説明もあったり
とにかく綺麗な景色が広がります。

着陸してからは順番にビデオの上映がされるので映像を待ち、友達と爆笑。
映像を確認してから、やっぱりビデオも買う！とできるようです。
（でも結局写真だけにしました）

12時にならないと帰りのバズが出ないので待ち時間はかなりありますが
ほかの人が飛んでいったり、降りてくるのを見ているのも楽しいです♪

また行く機会があれば、ぜひ参加したいです！

Reviewed by: MATSUOKA

It's simply wonderful!! I wasn't scared at all. Even those who are afraid of heights will have their fears blown away by the amazing views. The scenery is truly breathtaking, and it liberates both body and mind; it was the best experience of my life.

Also, the instructors (Montana) and the photographer (Maynard) on the day were very friendly and reliable. The staff worked well as a team. The Japanese guide was also kind.

The photos and videos are truly fantastic, so I definitely recommend purchasing them as a package for those who will be flying. If you say a few words with a smile to the photographer in advance and express your preferences for angles, I feel they might provide a little extra service. That was my experience. Just a tip!

素晴らしいの一言です！！私はまったくこわくなかったです。高いところが恐い人も、景色の素晴らしさに恐怖が吹き飛ぶと思います。本当に素晴らしい景色ですし、身も心も解放されます、人生で一番の経験でした。

また当日のインストラクター(Montanaさん)とカメラマン(Maynardさん)がとてもフレンドリーで頼もしいです。スタッフのチームプレーがうまく取れてる感じでした。日本語ガイドさんも親切です。

そして写真、ビデオも本当に素晴らしい内容なので、飛ばれる方は絶対セットで購入されることをお勧めします。
あらかじめカメラマンに一言ふたこと笑顔で声をかけて、写真のアングルとか要望すれば少し奮発サービスしてくれる気がします。私がそうでした。ご参考までに！

This was a great tour. Our tour guy, I believe his name is Sam was very helpful and funny. Sam was also very knowledgeable and he made the tour a memorable experience for us. We like the fact that we get to plan out our activities and get to see couple places at North Shore. The only suggestion that we think can improve for the tour is the activities in the afternoon. There wasn't a lot of options in the afternoon activities like in the morning. Overall, we enjoyed the tour very much.

I did it with my husband! He was more scared than I was, but after he jumped, he had a pretty relaxed expression. By the way, my husband was only comfortable with Disney's roller coasters, but I forced him to do this, haha. For me, Fujiyama is the scariest attraction I've ever been on. It was so funky and turned out to be an amazing memory!! It's much cheaper than doing it in Japan, so I highly recommend it!!

旦那と一緒にやりました！
私よりびびってた旦那も飛んだあとはかなり余裕の表情でした。
ちなみに旦那はディズニーのジェットコースターが限界でしたが無理やりやらせました笑
私もフジヤマが今まで乗った最高に怖いアトラクションです。
とってもファンキーで最高の思い出になりました！！
日本でやるよりかなり安いし、お勧めです！！

Skydiving スカイダイビング

Reviewed by: ゆたちゃん

First of all, the diving itself was a very enjoyable experience. However, the following points should be noted by those who will participate in the future.

【Complaint】
The website lists a local phone number for inquiries, so when I contacted them in Hawaii on the day, I received a completely careless response. When I asked for the department and name, I was told, "I'm just an interpreter!" and was hung up on. The operator should be contacted immediately and should be fired before it becomes a major issue. It was extremely rude and completely unhelpful.

【Points to Note】
1. Pay attention to the weather. In summer, due to typhoons and wind conditions, there are many days when you may not be able to fly even if you have made a reservation. We barely managed to fly.
2. Pay attention to the transportation. If the pickup is 10 minutes late, they will leave without notice. Additionally, the return time is completely unpredictable, and we had to wait for quite a long time. We waited for nearly 3 hours. Even then, there was no sign of them coming to pick us up, so I requested to drive if they could lend me the keys, and only then did they reluctantly send a van to pick us up with 10 tour participants. If I hadn't made that request, how long would we have waited? By the way, it takes nearly 2 hours by car from Waikiki, and the actual diving time is about 4 minutes.
3. Pay attention to the contract. Before flying, we were made to sign a contract stating that we would not complain even if we died, which was very favorable only to the organizer. This information was not included in the tour details and could only be understood on-site. Even if there was a mistake on the part of the operator in case of an accident, it was a one-sided waiver of responsibility. Moreover, we were not given a copy of the signed document. If a participant were a lawyer, they would likely give up on the experience on-site.
4. The tips are too high. In addition to the tour fee, we were required to pay $20 each to the person who flew with us, as well as to a photographer and a pilot we did not request, totaling $60. Isn't tipping supposed to be optional?

The participants were mostly Japanese in their early twenties, and I, at 49, was quite rare. I was more scared of the contract than the diving itself. The 20-year-old girl I experienced it with was happily satisfied.

まず、ダイビング自体は非常に楽しい良い経験でした。しかし、下記事項はこれから参加される方はよく留意してください。
【クレーム】
HPに現地電話での問合せ先がのっているので当日ハワイで連絡したら、全くいい加減な対応で部署と名前を問ったところ、私は単なる通訳だ！と逆ギレされ、一方的に切られた。運営者は直ちに連絡して大きなトラブルになる前にクビにした方がいい。失礼極まりなく何の役にも立たない。
【留意点】
①天候に注意。夏は台風など風の影響で、申し込んでも現場迄行って飛べない日が多々ある。私達はギリなんとか飛べた。
②送迎に注意。迎えは時間10分遅れると連絡なく行ってしまう。また、帰りは全く時間読めず、かなりの時間待たされる。私達は3時間近く待たされた。それでも送る気配ないので、車かしてくれたら運転するよと鍵の受渡を依頼して、初めてOKと苦笑って送りのワゴンを出しツアー参加者10名乗せ動いた。申立しなかったら、何時間待たされたのだろう？因みにワイキキから片道2時間近く車でかかり、ダイビング自体の飛行時間は4分程。
③契約書に注意。飛ぶ前に、死んでも一切文句言わない、などのかなり主催者だけ都合いい契約書にサインさせられ、しないと飛べない。その事はツアー内容に情報が全くなく、現地でしか分からない。もし事故が運営側でミスあった場合でも責任放棄の一方的内容。しかもサインした書面控えはこちらに渡されない。参加者の職業が弁護士なら、必ず現地で体験を諦めるであろう。
④チップ高すぎ。ツアー費用以外に一緒に飛んでくれる方だけでなく、頼んでいないカメラマン、パイロットと各20ドル合計60ドル支払を必須求められる。チップは任意支払ではないのか？

参加者は9割20歳前半未満の日本人、私は49歳で珍しく、ダイビングより契約書内容が怖かった。
一緒に体験した20歳の彼女は、喜んで満足げであった。

乗馬体験(1.5時間)　ノースショアの海辺を散策！ロマンチックなサンセットプランや貸切プランから選べる　8歳から参加OK！

There was an accident, but... アクシデントはあったが・・・

Reviewed by: ばすお

Although I arrived early at the location with a rental car, there was a road closure due to an accident just 1 kilometer away, and I couldn't make it on time for my reservation. I was unsure when the closure would be lifted, and in my frustration, I called the phone number listed on the voucher. I explained the situation, but due to my poor English, they initially thought I was lost. Eventually, I conveyed that it was a road closure, but they told me they couldn't help since I wasn't speaking to the reservation department, which made me realize the drawbacks of online booking. I had no choice but to turn back for a while, and when I returned later, the road was open. I went to the location and explained the situation, and after consulting with the intermediary company over the phone, they agreed to let me join the next session. (By the way, I was told that cancellations were not possible.)

The horseback riding was with two Japanese families and an Australian family. The instructions were given in very fast English, but it seemed manageable even for elementary school children. They provided helmets, so there was no need for riding hats, but since the path went through narrow trees, long pants are essential. I wore a short-sleeved shirt, but since branches might scratch you, I recommend wearing long sleeves if you're concerned.

Despite the accident, the local staff (two women) were kind, and riding along the beach was a wonderful experience. However, the restroom situation is poor, so I recommend using the facilities before you go.

レンタカーで現地に早めに行ったものの、あと１キロのところで事故による道路の封鎖があり、予約の時間に行けませんでした。封鎖がいつ解かれるかもわからず、困ってバウチャー記載の電話番号に電話し、事情を話しても（英語が拙かったせいで最初は道に迷ったと思われてしまいましたが、最終的には道路の封鎖だと伝わりました）予約担当じゃないからわからないと言われてしまい、ネット予約のデメリットを痛感しました。仕方なくいったん引き返して時間を置いて戻ったところ、道が通れるようになっていたので、現地に行き、事情を話したら、電話で仲介会社（？）と相談の上、次の回に入れてくれることになりました。（ちなみにキャンセルはできないと言われました。）
乗馬は日本人家族２組とオーストラリア人の家族と一緒でした。説明はとっても早口の英語でしたが、小学生くらいのお子さんでも大丈夫な感じでした。ヘルメットを貸してくれるので、乗馬用の帽子は必要ありませんでしたが、狭い木々の間の道を通るので、長いズボンは必須です。私は半祖袖を着ていましたが、枝で切ってしまうかもしれないので、心配な方は長袖の着用をおすすめします。
アクシデントはありましたが、現地のスタッフ（女性２名）は親切でしたし、ビーチ沿いを馬に乗って歩くのは素晴らしい体験でした。
なお、トイレ事情は悪いので、済ませてから行かれることをおすすめします。

A ring of rainbow appeared below while falling. 落下中、眼下に虹の輪が。

Reviewed by: モーニング平

I participated alone.

I was picked up at the hotel around 7 AM and arrived at the airport around 9 AM. Since I was a solo traveler and did not request photo or video services, I boarded the plane quickly and was the first to jump. I was on the ground by 9:30 AM.

It may have been a coincidence, but during the fall, I was able to enjoy the wonderful sight of a rainbow ring below me.

As mentioned in other people's experiences, after the parachute opened, the diver seemed to have a spirit of service and did some spins. It was fun to see the scenery, but I started to feel a bit nauseous after about three spins, so when I mentioned, "I get airsick easily," they stopped the unnecessary spins. You can communicate with the diver even during the fall, so I think it's good to discuss this while in the air. (They can have simple conversations in Japanese, but they're not fluent, so it might be better to consult in broken English.)

The return bus departed for Waikiki around 12:30 PM and arrived in Waikiki around 1:40 PM.

I recommend bringing something to pass the time. It seemed there were no free Wi-Fi spots at the airport.

一人で参加しました。

朝7時ごろホテルでピックアップされ、9時頃に飛行場に到着。
一人客かつ写真やビデオ撮影を申し込まなかったためか、すぐに飛行機に乗り1番目にジャンプ。9時30分には地上にいました。

たまたまかもしれませんが、落下中、眼下に虹の輪が見えたりとすばらしい光景を楽しむことが出来ました。

他の方の体験談にもありましたが、パラシュートが開いた後、ダイバーの方はサービス精神なのか、くるくると旋回をしてくれます。景色が見られて楽しいですが、自分は3回やられたあたりで気持ち悪くなりそうだったので、「I get airsick easily」と相談したら、以降は不要な旋回はやめてくれました。
一緒に飛んでくれるダイバーの方とは落下中でも会話が可能ですので、空中でその辺りは相談するのがいいと思います。（簡単な日本語会話はしてくれますが、日本語ペラペラではありませんので、片言でも英語で相談したほうが良さそう。）

帰りのバスは12時30分ごろワイキキに向けて出発、13時40分ごろにはワイキキに到着していました。

何かしらの暇つぶしを持って行くことをおすすめします。飛行場には無料のWi-Fiスポットはなさそうでした。

I bought motion sickness medication the day before, and off I went.

The shuttle driver was really funny♪
And all the divers were truly handsome! Haha

We took a helicopter up into the sky. I didn't feel alive at all (>_<)

It doesn't matter about your mental preparation. It's all about your buddy's timing! Considering the cloud conditions, etc...

The moment we dropped, I thought, "I'm dead," but during the free fall, I experienced a world at 200 kilometers per hour. I felt no nausea; I cleared that!

The moment the parachute opened, we shot up, but that was the worst... It was scarier than when we were falling, lol.

I thought I might feel sick, but I was breathless at the stunning view below.
I'm glad I could experience this in Hawaii.
The sky, the sea, the greenery—nature is truly beautiful.

I only bought the photos.
They were expensive, so I skimped on the video, but I kind of regret not buying it after returning home (*^_^*) because it was really pricey! Photos and video cost $180.

I had heard that contact lenses can fly away, so I brought mine. Maybe the goggles weren't on properly, but my left lens disappeared somewhere.

After it was over, I had an acai bowl from a cart nearby!
It was delicious♪ A reward for myself for doing my best♪

Finally, I received a certificate, which made me feel really happy (^o^)

自分の心の準備とか関係ないんですね。バディの方のタイミング！雲の状況等を考えて。。。

落下した瞬間「死んだ」って思ったけど、フリーホールの時間は時速200キロの世界を体感。気持ち悪さもなく、ここはクリア！

パラシュートが開いた瞬間一気に上昇するのだが、それがだめだった…落下しているときより怖かったｗ

気持ち悪いとおもったけど、目下の絶景に息を呑みました。

高かったから動画はケチってしまったけれど、購入すればよかったかなと帰国してからちょっと後悔(*^_^*)だってめちゃ高いんだもん！写真と動画で180＄。


コンタクトレンズが飛ぶって聞いたことがあったので持っていきました。ゴーグルの仕方があまかったのか、左目だけどこかへ消えました。



終わった後、脇にあるワゴンでアサイボールを食べました！
おいしかったな♪がんばった自分へのご褒美です♪

At the end of July, I participated in the "Horseback Riding in Hawaii! North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience at Hawaii Polo Club" plan. My husband and I joined together. We were both anxious since we couldn't speak English, but the staff member, Alex, kindly explained everything in simple English at a slow pace, which we really appreciated.

The horseback riding experience was amazing! I was able to hold the reins myself and, although it was slow, I enjoyed the beautiful coastline, which was even more stunning than the sea in Waikiki. It was truly the best time.

The horses were well-trained, and I felt no fear at all. There was also a family of foreigners with us, including a girl around 10 years old who was riding for the first time, and she seemed to have a lot of fun! I also recommend this place because the riding experience lasts longer than at other facilities. There were three female staff members, and they were all very kind.

At the end, we took commemorative photos with the beautiful sea in the background, and it was truly a wonderful experience! I plan to use this service again when I go to Hawaii!

Lastly, I have to mention… when I heard "Polo Club," I imagined a luxurious facility, but in reality, it was more like a farm (laughs). The waiting area was a small outdoor shed, and the restroom was a portable toilet. But that didn't matter because I highly recommend it!

７月末に
《ハワイで乗馬！ ノースショア海辺乗馬体験　ハワイ・ポロ･クラブ》プランに参加しました。
夫婦での参加。
二人とも英語が話せないので不安だったのですが、スタッフの女の子（アレックスちゃん）が 一生懸命簡単な英語でゆっくり説明してくれたのでとてもありがたかったです。

乗馬体験は最高‼︎‼︎
自分で手綱を引き、ゆっくりではありますが ワイキキの海より美しい海岸沿いを眺めながら
本当に最高の時間を過ごせました。

馬もよく調教されていて 恐怖感はまったくありませんでした。
私達の他に 外国人のご家族も一緒で、乗馬初体験の10歳くらいの女の子もいましたが とても楽しんでいましたよ！
他の乗馬体験ができる施設よりも
体験できる時間が長いところもオススメですね♫
スタッフは女性が３人でしたが みなさんとても親切でした。
最後には美しい海をバックに 記念撮影もして頂き、本当に素晴らしい最高の体験ができました‼︎
またハワイに行く際は利用しようと思います‼︎
最後にひとつだけ…
ポロクラブ…と聞いて、豪華な施設を勝手に思い描いていましたが（笑）実際は農場のような所です（笑）
待合室となる所は屋外の小屋で、
おトイレも仮設トイレ。
でもそんなの関係なくなるくらい、オススメですよ！

絶景スカイダイビング　一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動！ビデオ＆写真撮影付きプランあり　by ゴージャンプハワイ＜送迎付き＞

I want to surprise everyone! みんなを驚かせたい一心で♪

I recently went to Hawaii for the first time, and I took the opportunity to go skydiving! I’ve always been interested in activities like this, and I felt like it was something I couldn’t experience in Japan, so I decided to give it a try (^o^). I’ve spent a lot of time doing things halfway, and I wanted to do something that would amaze everyone at least once in my life!! (laughs)

Originally, I had a reservation for Sunday, but there was a typhoon approaching, and the weather looked suspicious… A local advised me, “It’s probably not going to happen on Sunday because of the typhoon, so if you can, change the date,” so I quickly changed my reservation to Saturday. The diving center mentioned that they only spoke English, but there was a Japanese person at Pacific Skydiving, so I was able to communicate in Japanese.

On the day of the jump, I was picked up from my hotel in Waikiki, and after about an hour on the highway, we arrived at the site. We ended up on the opposite side of Oahu, which was surprisingly far away (laughs).

The check-in process went relatively quickly, but the waiting time until the jump was tough…!!

About 15 Japanese people came on the same bus. There were also other foreigners waiting at the site. The Japanese participants were taken in pairs. The Cessna planes flew roughly every hour, so I ended up sitting on a bench waiting for about 5 hours during the queue.

Then, clouds rolled in, and they announced that we couldn’t jump due to the weather…

There were still about 7 people left, and we were faced with the choice: “There’s no guarantee the weather will improve, do you want to wait or go back with those who have already jumped?”

I couldn’t give up after waiting so long, so I said, “I’ll wait,” but some people chose to leave. The weather was something we couldn’t control… (^_^;)

After waiting for another hour, we finally got the go-ahead!

Total waiting time: about 7 hours! (^_^;)

Since I had a photographer with me, we quickly did some pre-jump shots and boarded the Cessna.

Once we jumped, it was over in an instant!

But the view was amazing! The ocean and land were beautiful!!

I really enjoyed the freefall (^o^).

After the parachute opened, I started to feel a bit nauseous… It swayed side to side unlike the straight drop, like a pirate ship ride at an amusement park. I was glad I took motion sickness medication just in case… (^_^;)

In the end, it took about 10 hours to get back to the hotel. It turned into a whole day affair (^_^;). My partner was waiting at the hotel, so I worried him. There were others who had next plans but couldn’t get in touch, wondering what to do.

Skydiving is truly amazing…! The thrill of the experience is incredible, and the scenery is breathtaking!!

However, since it can be affected by the weather, I think those who have plans afterward should be careful (^_^;).

I received videos and photos, but since the photos are in sequence, just the photos might be enough?? (laughs) It became a great memory!! I definitely recommend participating with plenty of time to spare! (^o^)

先日初めてハワイにいったのですが、この機会にスカイダイビングしてきました！
もともとあアクティビティに興味があり、日本ではなかなか体験できない気がして挑戦することに(^o^)
色々中途半端で過ごしてきたワタシ…人生で１つくらい、皆をあっと言わせられる事やりたかったんです！！(笑)

当初の予約は日曜日だったのですが、たまたま台風が近づいていて怪しい雲行き…
現地の方に「日曜は台風で無理だろうから、可能なら日にち変えてもらいなよ～」とアドバイスをもらい、急遽日付変更、土曜日にさせていただきました。
ダイビングセンターへの問合せは「英語のみ」と書かれてましたが、パシフィックスカイダイビングには日本人の方います。日本語でお願いできました。

そして当日。
ワイキキ中心のホテルでピックアップしてもらいましたが、高速道路へ乗って現場へ向かうこと約一時間…
オアフ島の反対側まで来ました。
案外遠いとこに連れてこられて、あぁ(笑)

手続きは割りと早めに終わりましたが、そこから飛ぶまでの時間が大変です…！！

日本人は15名くらい同じバスで来ました。現地では他の外国人の方も待っています。
日本人は二人ずつくらい乗せられて行きます。
ざっくり、1時間1本ペースでセスナが飛んだので、順番待ちの段階で5時間くらいひたすらベンチで座って待ちました。

ここでなんと、雲が出てきて飛べないと言うことで運転見合せに。。。

まだ7人くらい残ってましたが、
「この後天候が回復して飛べる保証はないけど、待ちますか？それとも終わった人と帰りますか？」
そんな選択を迫られることに…！

わた私はここまで待ったんだから諦められず「待ちます」といいましたが…
帰る方もいらっしゃいました。
天候だけはどうにもならないということです…(^_^;)

そこからさらに１時間位待ってGoサイン出ました！

待ち時間、約7時間！(^_^;)

私はカメラマン同行だったので、飛ぶ前の意気込み撮影などをサクサクやって、セスナに乗り込みました。

とびだしたら一瞬です！…！

てでも素晴らしい景色を見れました！
海も陸も美しい！！

とにかく落下、楽しみましたよ～(^o^)

あとは、
パラシュートを開いあと、私は酔いそうでした…まっすぐ降下してる時と違って横揺れするので…遊園地のバイキング状態です。
念のため、酔い止め飲んでいって良かったです…(^_^;)

で、結局ホテルに帰ってくるまで10時間くらい掛かってしまったんですかね。
１日かかっちゃいました(^_^;)
彼がホテルで待っていたので、心配掛けました。
他にも、次の予定があるけど連絡がとれないからどうしよう、等と言ってる方も居ました。

スカイダイビングはほんとに素晴らしいです…！
恐怖感よりもダイナミックな経験ができる凄さとか、景色に、感動します！！

ただ、天候に左右されたりするので、この後に予定など入れられる方は気をつけた方がいいと思います(^_^;)

ムービー、写真、いただきましたが、写真が駒送りなので写真だけでも充分かも？？(笑)
いい記念になりました！！
是非、時間に余裕を持って参加してみてください！(^o^)

I was able to look down at the rainbow from above! No matter where I looked, it was round. I was inspired and moved by the realization that the Earth is round and that I am so small! I will definitely challenge myself again!

虹を上から見下ろすことが出来きました！どこをみても丸い、地球は丸いこと、自分はこんなちっぽけなんだということに勇気と感動をもらいました！

ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー　迫力満点！至近距離で野生のサメを見学 ＜送迎可＞

I had a great experience! いい体験ができました！

Reviewed by: kitty

We went out to sea on a boat that can hold about 20 people, crossing rough waves. We were the only Japanese there. We were divided into three groups and entered the cage in turn. The sharks gathered due to the sound of the boat's engine, so we were able to see many of them! They are not carnivorous and are said to be a type that does not attack humans, so we could enjoy it with peace of mind. While waiting on the boat and inside the cage, it rocked quite a bit, so almost everyone got seasick. Everyone who was lively and energetic on the way out was silent and exhausted on the way back... it was a good memory (laughs). As noted in the precautions, it's definitely better to take motion sickness medication. Also, it can get cold if the wind is strong, so I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear and a bath towel to dry off quickly.

20人乗りくらいのボートで荒波をこえ沖まで出ました。
日本人は私たちだけでした。
3グループに分けられ、順番に檻に入ります。
サメはボートのエンジン音で集まってくるのでたくさん見れました！
肉食ではないので人は襲わない種類らしく、安心して楽しめました。
待っている間のボートも、檻の中も、かなり揺れるのでほぼ全員船酔いしてました。
行きはノリノリで元気だったみんなが帰りは無言でぐったり。。。いい思い出です（笑）
注意事項にもあるとおり、酔い止めは絶対飲んだ方がいいですね。
あと、風が強いと寒いので羽織るものとすぐ体をふけるようにバスタオルは持って行った方がいいと思います。
