All Reviews for Helicopter & Airplane Tours

You definitely won't regret it! Taking off in a Cessna was an exhilarating experience! The scariest part was during takeoff, but the refreshing feeling after the parachute opened is unmatched! I highly recommend giving it a try!

ほんとにやって損はなし！
セスナで飛び立ってそれからどきどきのたいけんです！
飛び立つ時が一番こわかったですが、飛んでパラシュートが開いたあとの爽快感は何事にも変えられません！
ぜひお試しを！

Great experience. Nice view from the island
The pilots were very nice, specially the one with doors; very friendly

Great experience. Beautiful sight from the island. The pilot from the doors off didn' give much explanation but the one with doors was very friendly and really made the difference!!

Excellent experience. The pilots were both great and responsible. Weather was nuce

Excellent experience for my boys. The pilots were great and really made the difference. They will never forget

Diving from sea level was amazing! The instructor was kind, and the instructor assigned to my family was funny, so we were very satisfied! I could only speak a little, but it was totally fine! When filling out the paperwork, there was a Japanese grandfather, which made me feel at ease.

海抜0mからのダイブは最高でした！
インストラクターの方は優しく、家族に付いたインストラクターは面白くとにかく大満足でした！
片言しか喋れなくてみ全然平気でした！
書類を記入の時は日本人のおじいちゃんがいて安心しますよ

初めてのスカイダイビングをここで体験できて本当にラッキーでした。スタッフの皆さんはとても親切で、スカイダイビングは言うまでもなく素晴らしかったです。絶対にまた来たいと思います！

There were staff members who spoke Japanese, so I think Japanese people can feel at ease.

It was my totally first time to try Skydiving, and I was lucky to try my first experience here. Every staffs are so nice. And skydiving was needless to say AMAZING. I definitely would come back again!

日本語の話せるスタッフさんもいて、日本人のかたでも安心だと思いました

It was my first time skydiving, and the instructor and the Japanese driver (or guide?) explained everything thoroughly, so I was able to enjoy it without any anxiety! I chose the higher altitude, and because the freefall time was longer, I was able to slowly take in the incredibly beautiful scenery of Hawaii, so I'm glad I went for the higher option! It was truly a sensation, excitement, and emotion that you can only experience by doing it!! Thank you to the instructor and the cameraman who jumped with me^^

初めてのスカイダイビングでしたが
インストラクターさんや日本人の運転手さん(ガイドさん？)も丁寧に説明してくださり
全然不安なく楽しめました！
高度の高い方にしましたが
滞空時間が長い分だけゆっくり
すごく綺麗なハワイの景色を眺められたので、高い方にして良かったです！
ホントやってみないと体験できない
感覚と興奮と感動でした！！
インストラクターさん、一緒に飛んでくれたカメラマンさんありがとうございました^^

On the first day, there were many clouds, and we waited nearly two hours for the weather, but everyone who came that day had to leave without flying. We tried again on a different day, and that day we were able to fly right away, which was amazing. Last year in Hawaii, there were many days with bad weather in September and October. I recommend that anyone who really wants to fly should have some flexibility in their schedule!

初日は雲が多く、現地で２時間近く天候待ちしましたがその日来ていた人は全員飛べずに帰りました。別の日にトライし、その日はすぐに飛べて最高でした。去年のハワイは９~10月天気が悪い日が多かったです。どうしても飛びたい人は日程に余裕を持つことをおすすめします！

What everyone is curious about is, without a doubt, the pricing! Let me share it with you!!!

* The fun part has already been extensively covered by everyone!
* Additionally, I'll note some other observations!

In my case...

■ Skydiving (altitude 4,267m)
- Pre-payment in Japan: SALE price: $179 (regular: $190)

■ On-site payments (cash)
- Tip for the driver: $10
- Tip for the tandem instructor: $20
- Tip for the photographer: $20

* For the driver, $10-$20, handed directly during hotel drop-off.
* For the instructor, $20-$40, put in an envelope and dropped in their personal mailbox after the jump.
* For the photographer, $20-$40, put in an envelope and dropped in their personal mailbox after the jump.

■ On-site payments (card)
- Video + stills: $230

* It seems you can decide whether to purchase the video or stills after viewing the data.
* Since the photographer is also jumping, saying you don't want either video or stills is not an option.
* The data can be received on a USB.
* There are courses where the instructor takes photos, but since it's still expensive, it's definitely better to have the photographer do it! (I saw the video taken by the instructor on-site.)
* There can be quite a difference in the photographer's skills. It's a matter of luck!
* Since you descend at 200 km/h, even if you're cute, you might not look that cute in the photos! Make sure to tie your hair back neatly! (Hair can get messy!)
* If you're concerned about your upper arms, wear a long-sleeve undershirt (the wind pressure makes your flesh jiggle!)
* There is a notebook for writing impressions of the instructor and photographer. I didn't know about the notebook since I was the first jump after arriving.
* You probably can't request a specific instructor (due to weight limits, etc.), but it would be fun if you could request a photographer based on their skills! Maybe you could ask?
* There was an ATM in the office.

■ To summarize the total amount I paid:

- Skydiving (pre-payment): $179 (SALE price)
- Driver tip (cash): $10
- Instructor tip (cash): $20
- Photographer tip (cash): $20
- Video/stills data (card): $230

Total: $459
That's quite expensive...

■ If you skip the photography

- Skydiving (pre-payment): $179 (SALE price)
- Driver tip (cash): $10
- Instructor tip (cash): $20

Total: $209
That's how it works.

* This is based on the prices I paid in March 2016! Just so you know!!!

I had a little chat with the long-winded driver who often appears in everyone's impressions during the wait time.

He doesn't really recommend getting the photos.

According to him,
"Just the memories are enough." If you have the chance to come here again, you might be offered various options, but firmly refuse and say, "I just want to jump!" Please challenge yourself again.
"Wasn't it great?"

Yes! It was super great!

* But, you definitely want to have photos from your first jump!

Lastly,
Even if the stories from the elderly aren't interesting, you should listen to them!

皆さんが気になるのはズバリ、料金ですよね！
お教えしましょう！！！

※２００キロの高速で降下するので、可愛い人でも、なかなか可愛く写りません！
　髪は後ろにキッチリまとめる！（髪がバサバサ！）
　二の腕が気になる人は、長袖のアンダーシャツを着る（風圧で肉がブルブル！）
　などの対策が必要です！
※インストラクター、カメラマンの感想を書くノートがあります。

※2016年3月、私が支払った料金参照です！あしからず！！！

皆さんの感想にしばしば登場する、
話の長いドライバーのお爺さんと待ち時間に、ちょっと話をしました。

彼は、撮影をあまりオススメしていません。

彼曰く
「思い出だけで充分なんですよ」もしまた、ここに来る機会があるなら、
あれこれオプションをすすめられるだろうけど、頑として断って
「私は、ジャンプだけでいいです！」って、もう一度、是非チャレンジして下さい。
「気持ちよかったでしょ？」

はい！ちょー気持ちよかったっす！

※でも、初めてのジャンプは写真残したいよね！

最後に、
お年寄りの話は、面白くなくても聞いてやるもんだぜ！

I always wanted to try skydiving. The weather wasn't great, and we waited for about three hours. I was really scared before jumping, but the feeling while the parachute was open was truly amazing. You can choose between having a photographer take pictures and having the instructor who jumps with you take photos. I asked the instructor, and I was very satisfied with the many pictures I received. It was over in a flash, but it was a great experience. I want to do it again.

１度はやってみたかった、スカイダイビング。
天気が良くなく、３時間程待ちました。
飛ぶ前が最高にこわかったけど、パラシュートが開くまでの間は本当に気持ちがよかったです。
写真と動画が、カメラマンにお願いするものと、一緒に飛ぶインストラクターが撮影するものと選べます。インストラクターにお願いしましたが、写真もたくさんで満足です。
あっという間だったけど、とてもいい体験ができました。また、やりたい。

We used this service with my siblings. The instructor was very kind and great. The Japanese staff also guided us while driving us back, which was very nice. However, please note that tips for the instructor (around $20 per person) and the driver (around $10 per person) are required on-site, so be prepared for that. It's a valuable experience, so I highly recommend it.

兄弟で利用しました。
インストラクターの人はとても親切で良いです。
日本人のスタッフの方も帰りの車の中でガイドしながら送ってくれたりなど、とても良いです。
ただ、現地でインストラクター（1人20＄程度）とドライバー（1人10＄程度）へのチップが必要になりますので準備が必要です。
貴重な体験になりますのでオススメです

It was truly a great experience! They picked me up at the hotel before 6 o'clock and dropped me off at the hotel around 11 o'clock!

本当にいい体験でした！
6時前にホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、
11時頃にはホテルに送っていただきました！

I experienced my first trip to Hawaii and my first skydiving adventure! Our group was the first to go, and everything went smoothly from the briefing to boarding the Cessna and jumping out, leaving no time to feel anxious (^^;) The first skydiving experience was amazing, and the instructor kept engaging with us, making it a lot of fun.

After we returned, the instructor handed us a small envelope for tips, which we were to fill out and drop into a separate box for the instructors. I also purchased the photo and video combo, but it seemed that we didn't reach the required altitude this time, so I received a discount of just over $30 from the total price. Payment could be made in cash or by credit card.

After waiting for about 40 minutes, we took the shuttle bus back to the hotel. However, it seemed that the group that followed us landed in a different location than expected, and their driver had to go pick them up, which delayed our return a bit.

When I read reviews before going, I had some concerns, but there were no significant issues from start to finish, and I had the best skydiving experience! I definitely think it's something everyone should try when they visit Hawaii. Highly recommended!

初ハワイ旅行で、初スカイダイビングを体験してきました！
私達のグループはトップバッターでしたが、説明されてセスナに乗ってから飛び降りるまでトントン拍子で、不安を感じる暇もありませんでした(^^;)
初めてのスカイダイビングは最高で、インストラクターの方も何度も声をかけて楽しませてくれました。
チップは帰ってきた後にインストラクターの方から小さな封筒を渡され、そこにチップを入れてインストラクター別のポストに投函するというかたちです。
また、私は写真とビデオのコンボを購入しましたが、今回は高度が足りなかったようで、代金から３０ドル強の値引きがされていました。購入は現金・クレジット共にOKでした。
そこから４０分ほど待機してからホテルへのシャトルバスに乗りましたが、私達の後のグループの方々が予想着地点でない場所に着地したようで、その方々の迎えに同様の運転手の方が行っていたので、それがなければもう少し早くに帰れていたと思います。
レビューを見た時には所々不安な点がありましたが、最初から最後まで特に悪い点はなく、最高のスカイダイビング体験が出来ました！
ハワイに来た際には是非一度体験するべきだと思います。オススメです。

My 2nd skydive experience was wonderful. We arrived on time for the morning group and we were suited, jumped and out of there by 10:30. Didn't take as long as the other reviews made it seem. Our plane stalled while in the air, but it added to the excitement. We had a wonderful time. Kai was my instructor and he was great.

Amazing view of Oahu Hawaii! It was such an exciting experience that I've never had before. Our pilot Julie was awesome. She made good narration during the whole trip. The only thing that disappointed me was my seat. Seats were allocated randomly, and mine was not a window seat, so that I didn't have the best perspective to take pictures.

Vroom, go, shoo... It's a feeling you won't understand until you try it. Unbelievable. It's super fun!

ビューん、ごーっ、シャーッ、ふわっー、ふわー、シュー…。やってみなきゃわからない感覚。ありえない。ちょー楽しいデース。

I participated in this diving tour. The pickup time was accurate, and we were able to return early, which allowed us to make effective use of our time.

The diving instructions were thorough, and the instructors were all kind and fun, making it a安心 experience. I had a thrilling and valuable experience, and the view from above was very beautiful; I definitely want to do it again! We even saw whales from the airplane☆

Thank you very much.

こちらのダイビングツアーに参加させてもらいました。
ピックアップの時間も正確で帰りも早めに帰ることができて時間を有効に使えました。

ダイビングは説明もしっかりしていて、インストラクターの方も優しく楽しい方ばかりで安心してできました。
スリルある貴重な体験ができ、上空からの景色はとても綺麗でまた絶対やりたい！と思いました。飛行機からクジラも見えました☆

ありがとうございました。

For my first time, it was an amazing experience! Brad helped me stay calm, but also kept me hyped for my jump. He also let me control the chute and go through some really fun twists and turns. Would definitely recommend pacific skydive and might even go again next time I go to hawaii.

I was anxious about participating alone, but since I was with the instructor when flying, I didn't feel lonely at all.

Overall, it was just amazing! You will definitely regret it if you don't try it!

一人参加で不安でしたが、飛ぶ時はインストラクターさんと二人ですから
寂しさを感じることもありませんでした。

とにかく最高！のひとこと。
やらなきゃ絶対後悔します！

This is a wonderful experience in HAWAII. My mum was very affair before. She thought the door off helicopter is not safe. But when she have try. She said it's a wonder time in her life.

Josh was an amazing pilot who made us feel so safe! Our 7 year old daughter loved every minute! We only did 20 minutes and that was definitely not enough! We will be back!

The ride was beautiful.. The best way to know all the island..

It was a beautiful view as we flew with the sunrise. There were a few clouds, but it was worth waking up early. When we took off, we went one after another, so there was no time to be scared. Instead of feeling fear due to the height, it was more about the beauty, and I didn't feel scared at all. The instructors were friendly and made me feel at ease.

日の出と共に飛んで、すごくキレイな景色でした。
少し雲はかかってましたが、朝早くから起きたかいがありました。
飛び出す時は次々と出て行くので怖がってる間もなく、あまりの高で怖いというより綺麗で恐怖は感じませんでした。インストラクターの人たちも気さくで安心できました。

I was able to experience skydiving, which I had wanted to try, at a quite reasonable price, and it became a wonderful memory. Since it's a group activity, the waiting time to jump and the time spent waiting for others to finish jumping can be quite long. I think it's better to plan on spending half a day for this experience.

やってみたかったスカイダイビングが結構安く体験できて、とてもいい思い出になりました。団体行動なので、飛ぶのを待つ時間やほかの方が飛び終わるのを待つ時間がとても長いです。半日はつぶれると考えて行動したほうがいいと思います。

There was a phrase in the driver's long story to the flight destination that perfectly captured this experience. I quoted it on social media:
"It feels like my whole body is boiling with blood."
Is this a Stephen King moment or what?

フライト地までの運転手の長い話の中に、まさにこの体験のこの表現しかない言葉がありました。SNS系で引用しました。
「全身の血が沸騰する感じ」
スティーブン キングかよ

This was a great ride. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Our pilot was wonderful and did a very good job of explaining everything during the trip. Would love to do it again some day.

I only spoke Japanese, but I managed to get by. Depending on the number of participants, I was able to leave earlier than the time indicated in the schedule, which was a great help since I had optional reservations afterward. It would be appreciated if you could also note that the schedule mentioned had some slight changes.

日本語しかはなせませんでしたが、何とか大丈夫でした。
参加人数によるのかもしれませんが、スケジュールで見ていた時間より、早く帰る事が出来て助かりました助かりました。その後もオプションを予約していたので。 記載されていたスケジュールとかちょっと変更になっていましたので、それも書いて頂けると、ありがたいと思います。

As I approached my 30th birthday, I decided to go skydiving with friends, making it the main event of our trip to Hawaii. We were picked up near our hotel before 6 AM and, after arriving at the center with other participants, we received a brief explanation before heading straight to the small plane.

The Russian instructor who was in charge of me, along with all the staff, was very friendly, which helped ease my nerves. I was surprised at how excited I felt, rather than anxious. As we gradually ascended, I did a final check with the instructor, put on my goggles, and off we went into the Hawaiian sky! Instead of feeling like I was falling, it felt more like I was floating in the air, which was astonishing! However, the strong wind pressure made it quite a challenge to wave my hands, yet I found myself smiling naturally and surprisingly relaxed. Breathing was manageable as long as I followed the instructor's guidance and kept my mouth slightly open.

Before I knew it, the parachute opened, and once the speed decreased, I was able to enjoy the beautiful Hawaiian scenery at a leisurely pace. It truly felt like I had become a bird. At one point, the instructor loosened my harness, which made me a bit anxious since I hadn't been informed about it beforehand, but the fun outweighed any worries.

I had always thought about trying skydiving at least once in my life after seeing it on TV, but I never expected it to be so easy and enjoyable! If you're hesitating, I highly recommend giving it a try. A senior who had already experienced it told me, "Skydiving won't change your life," but I believe my experience did change my life. I gained a strange confidence (laughs).

Since I was dropped off at the hotel before noon, I felt like I had plenty of time left in the afternoon. I plan to go skydiving again the next time I visit Hawaii! I truly recommend it!

３０歳を目前にして、友人とスカイダイビングをしようということで、今回ハワイでのメインイベントにしました。
早朝６時前にホテル近くまでピックアップして頂き、他の参加者とともにセンターへ到着後、簡単な説明を受け、早々に小型機へ。

私を担当して頂いたロシア人インストラクターの男性をはじめ、スタッフみなさん感じも良く、あまり緊張せず、想像よりもワクワクしている自分に驚きました。
徐々に高度も上がり、インストラクターと最終確認をして、ゴーグルをつけていざハワイの空へ！
落ちているという感覚より、空を浮いているという感じでびっくりでした！
ただ、ものすごい風圧を受けるので、手を振ったりするのも一苦労でしたが、自然と笑みになったり、意外に余裕がありました。
呼吸はインストラクターの指導通りに、うっすら口をあけてすれば問題ないと思います。

あっという間にパラシュートが開き、速度が落ちてからはハワイの景色もゆっくり楽しめて、本当に鳥になった気がしました。
途中インストラクターがベルトを緩めてくれますが、前もって聞いていなかったので少し不安になりましたが、とにかく楽しさの方が勝りました。

テレビなどでスカイダイビングの映像を観て、死ぬまでには一度経験してみたいなぁと思っていましたが、こんなにも簡単で、楽しいことだとは思っていませんでした！
悩んでいる方は是非経験してみてください。
「スカイダイビングやっても人生変わらなかったよ。」と既に経験済みの先輩に言われましたが、私は経験して人生が変わったと思います＾＾
変な自信もつきました(笑)

お昼前にはホテルに送ってもらったので、午後もたっぷり時間があると思います。
またハワイに行ったらスカイダイビングしようっ！と思います。
本当におすすめします！

Skydiving was my first experience, and it was amazing!! I was able to do it without any anxiety because I was with an instructor! I felt a little nervous while waiting for my turn to jump, but once I was out, that feeling disappeared! It was a valuable experience to see the mountains and the beautiful ocean of Hawaii from the sky!

スカイダイビングは初体験でしまが、すごくよかったです！！インストラクターの方と一緒なので不安もなく出来ました！飛び出す順番を待っている時は少しドキドキしましたが、出てしまうとそれも無くなりました！空から山やハワイの綺麗な海が見れて貴重な体験になりました！
