All Reviews for North Shore, Oahu

This was my first experience, and I was most scared when taking off in the Cessna. In fact, I wasn't scared while flying, and before I knew it, I was falling with the instructor (laughs). The sensation of flying through the wind was really interesting! The parachute also spun several times, which was fun, but my friend who has a fear of heights seemed to struggle, so I wouldn't recommend it too much. Due to the weather, we jumped from a lower altitude than planned, so next time I want to participate at 15,000 ft.

今回初めて体験しましたが、セスナで上がるときが一番怖かったです。むしろ飛ぶ時は怖くなく、いつのまにかインストラクターと一緒に落ちていました（笑)風をきって飛ぶ感覚がとても面白かったです！パラシュートも何度も旋回して楽しかったですが、高所恐怖症のつれは辛かったようなのであまりおすすめはしません。
天候の影響で予定より低い所から飛んだので、次は15,000ftのに参加したいです。

Everything was fantastic from beginning to end. The people, the experience, the venue. I would highly recommend.

The meeting time was at 8:00, but I arrived about 30 minutes early. It seemed that others had arrived even earlier, so I was in the last group. We watched a video explanation in Japanese, followed by an explanation in Japanese. The instructor spoke only in English, but it wasn't a problem. I was able to jump with confidence. I would like to try this again when I come back to Hawaii.

現地集合時間が8時でしたが、30分程早めに到着しましたが、他の方々はもっと早く到着されていたみたいで最終組でした。
説明は日本語のビデオを見て、その後に日本語での説明がありました。
インストラクターは英語のみですが、問題はありませんでした。
安心してジャンプ出来ました。
またハワイに来たら挑戦したいです。

This was a great tour! The driver was very good & had a lot of knowledge about the island! We stopped at a Macadamia nut farm & we didn’t even know that it was a scheduled stop! It was pretty cool! We snorkeled & went kayaking as well! They were all exciting activities! You definitely don’t want to rush the experience!

At first, it’s scary, but once you get used to it, it becomes fun. You walk a lot, cross suspension bridges, and climb ropes, but there was a 77-year-old participant who was doing great! It’s something you can’t easily do in Japan, so I think it’s a good experience to try at least once.

最初は怖いですが慣れると楽しくなります。たくさん歩くし、吊り橋を渡ったり、ロープを登ったりしますが、77歳の方が参加されていて頑張っていました！日本ではなかなかできないので一度でいい体験するといいとおもいます。

This is a must do experience if one wants to know more about the Polynesian Culture!

My friends and I got the Ambassador package and was extremely amazed with how all the performers, guides and crew were doing everything with so much heart and passion! There is no lying on how one consistently feels so intrigued with learning about another culture.

Despite this being a manicured and curated tourist attraction with a make-believe setting, it doesn't disappoint. Being called "family" all the time does make the entire experience different.

The Luau night show is not be be missed! The show is called Hai and is so well done that I personally want to experience it again!

Overall, there is nothing much to fault. Also note that tickets purchased and not single entry! You can go back again on another day to continue your tour if you have missed out on certain experiences.

Thumbs up!

I'm korean.

I was vistied with my wife

It's honeymoon

It'was so beautiful and perpect!

And skydiving teacher and cameraman also

very kind and handsome haha

I'll visit again

Lastly, I was incredibly excited and funny.

Thank you so much

I participated in a company trip with a colleague.

From over 4000 meters in the sky, the view of the North Shore was incredibly beautiful as we descended much more slowly than I had expected. I didn't feel like we were going 200 km/h at all. I had to do ear equalization several times, and breathing felt a bit difficult at first.

Before the flight, I ordered photos, and the photographer was taking pictures outside. When I saw the finished video, I decided on the spot to buy it because of the wonderful editing. The price was a bit steep at $230, which is slightly higher than the skydiving experience fee, but it was definitely worth it. I highly recommend experiencing it at least once. My colleague said they wouldn't do it a second time because it was so terrifying.

社員旅行で同僚と2人で参加しました。

4000m超えの空から、思っていた以上にゆっくりと降りてくる感じでノースショアの景色が最高に綺麗に見えました。
時速200kmとは、とても感じられませんでした。耳抜きを何度もしますし、呼吸が最初難しく感じます。

飛行前に写真をオーダーし、アウトサイドでカメラマンさんが撮影されていたのですが、出来上がったビデオを見たら即決で買うことを決めるくらい、ステキな編集をされていました。
スカイダイビング体験代より少々高い230ドルとお値段は少し張りますが、価値は充分にあります。
一度は体験をオススメします。
同僚は2度目はないというくらい、恐怖だったそうです。

I was anxious about my first skydiving experience, but the local instructors and cameramen were very friendly, which made me feel at ease. Additionally, there was a Japanese version of the video explanation, and they provided a brief lecture in Japanese before the jump. However, the optional photos and videos are a bit pricey, so you'll need to consider your budget for that. (Using my own GoPro was not allowed.) If you don't mind waking up early, I recommend the morning plan.

初めてのスカイダイビングで不安でしたが、
現地のインストラクターの方やカメラマンの方もとても気さくな方で安心出来ました。
また、日本語版のビデオでの説明が有るのと飛ぶ前でも日本語で軽くレクチャーもしてくれます。
ただ、オプションの写真と動画は少し値が貼るのでそこは財布との相談になります。
(持参したGoProの使用もNGでした)
早起きが問題ない方は朝イチのプランがオススメです

I was nervous because of my fear of heights, but if you're hesitant, definitely give it a try. When you're falling, it feels like you're flying, and there's no sensation of floating like on a roller coaster—it's completely refreshing.

For those who are sensitive to roller coasters, if you ask to descend gently without spinning during the parachute, you can enjoy the breathtaking views without any issues.

There were a few people who got nauseous and had to sit out, so it's worth mentioning.

You should definitely try it at least once in your lifetime.

高所恐怖症でびびってましたが、
迷われてる方は是非してみてください。

死ぬまでに一回はしたほうが絶対いいです。

In Hawaii, I went on a tour with a major tour company, but the optional tours were fully booked, so I made a reservation through this site myself. I felt a bit anxious participating in a tour without any other Japanese people, but both the driver and the local staff were kind and explained everything in English, so it all worked out. At first, I was a bit nervous about the zip line, but once I got used to it, it was fine. The speed and the views while doing it were amazing.

大手ツアーで行ったハワイで、ツアー会社のオプショナルツアーでは満席で予約取れず、自分でこのサイトを通じて予約しました。
日本人のいないツアーで不安を感じながらも妻と参加しました。でもドライバーさんも、現地スタッフも優しく英語で丁寧に説明してくれたので、何とかなっちゃいました。
ジップライン自体は最初だけ少しビビりましたが、慣れたら大丈夫でした。やってる時のスピードや景色は最高です。

When we first got on our tour and the guide introduced himself I didn't hold out much hope of learning anything from someone who said they had only lived in Hawaii for 3 years but Steve turned out to be a fountain of knowledge. He made the day an extremely enjoyable one, so much information given and funny too. he should also release his soundtrack to the Circle Tour, he had a song for every stop it was awesome! My only criticism would be too many beach photo stops not enough time at Waimea Waterfall and Dole Plantation.

I had a great time with Mickey Takahashi! Thank you very much!

However, I felt nauseous because my stomach was full before flying, as the harness pressed on my stomach.

I was told to leave my hair down instead of tying it with a rubber band, and as a result, it got tangled up badly and took a long time to get back to normal, which was the worst!

The conversation was enjoyable, but I still think these two points were quite inadequate.

Thank you very much to the instructors; it was a very good experience.

I would like to challenge myself again.

ミッキー高橋さん楽しかったです！
どうもありがとうございました！

しかしながら、飛ぶ前の腹をいっぱいにしろは
ハーネスで胃を圧迫されるので
結果気持ち悪くなりました！

髪の毛はゴムで留めず下ろしときなさいと
結果ぐちゃぐちゃに絡まって
なかなか元に戻らず最悪でした！

会話は楽しかったですが、
この2点は今だにいい加減だなだと思ってます


インストラクターの方々大変ありがとうございましたとても良い経験になりました

また挑戦したいと思っています

The children had an experience. They said it was exciting and very fun to cross the canyon. They also mentioned that the horses were well-trained, which made them feel safe.

子どもたちが体験しました。渓谷を渡るのがエキサイティングでとても楽しかったようです。馬もよく慣れていて、安心だったといっていました。

When I went, the blue sky and the emerald blue sea created the perfect conditions for flying. I knew I needed motion sickness medication beforehand, but I got more nauseous than I imagined. The car ride to the airport (about an hour from Waikiki) involved a lot of paperwork, including disclaimers, which I had to fill out in the car. You board the plane facing the opposite direction of travel, and during the dive, there are turns and descents. If you are prone to motion sickness, it's best to take the medication quietly. It's available for purchase on-site for those who forget, so make sure to take it.

I chose a height of 4,000 meters. Since it's higher than Mount Fuji, appropriate clothing is advisable. If the airport is busy, there can be quite a wait. Prior information and preparation are very important. If possible, dive into the big sky!

私が行ったとき、青い空にエメラルドブルーの海。最高の条件で飛べた日でした。前々に酔い止め薬が必要なのは知っていたのですが、想像以上に酔いました。飛行場までの車移動(ワイキキから約１時間。免責事項など、書類を書く事柄が多くあり車内で書類を書く。)、飛行機は進行方向とは逆に乗る、ダイビング中の旋回と降下。乗り物酔いする人はおとなしく酔い止めを飲みましょう。忘れた人用に現地で販売されているので必ず飲みましょう。
高さは４千ｍを選びました。富士山より高いところなので、それなりの服装がいいでしょう。飛行場が盛況なら待ち時間はかなりあります。事前情報と準備がとても大切。できたら大空にダイブです！

The explanation on the pickup bus was easy to understand in Japanese. Also, the instructor and the cameraman were very friendly, which helped alleviate my anxiety. I had an incredibly good experience. Since insurance falls under extreme sports, I couldn't enroll in insurance from the internet, but I signed up for a plan through an agency (which is also available at the airport) that provides reduced compensation for incidents related to skydiving.

ピックアップバスの中の説明は日本語のでわかりやすかったです。また、インストラクターさん、カメラマンさんはとてもフレンドリーで不安感が払しょくできました。この上なくいい経験ができました。保険は危険スポーツに該当するので、インターネットからの保険には加入できませんが、代理店（空港にもある）加入でスカイダイビングに起因する補償は減額して支払われるものに加入しました。

You never get tired of seeing sandbar and Galapagos sharks in their natural environment. Third time out with OneOcean and second with safety diver Kayleigh. We even were treated to surfacing humpbacks on the way out! Look forward to my fourth dive!

I wanted to participate in a tour where I could experience things that can't be done in Japan, so I joined a zipline tour. Since it included pick-up service, I waited before the meeting time, but even when the time came, no one showed up. It said, "If the pick-up doesn't arrive after waiting for 5 minutes, do not leave the location and contact the tour company..." so I made a call (there was no Japanese-speaking staff). The meeting place was the hotel tour lobby, and it seemed to be delayed because there were many other tour participants and the pick-up was from several hotels.

There was no Japanese guide at Keana Farm, so all the explanations were in English, but the tour guide explained things clearly in simple English multiple times. Since the meeting was early in the morning and we returned to Waikiki after 2 PM, it's better to have breakfast beforehand. At Keana Farm, you can buy juice and snacks, but there wasn't a place to have lunch.

You can also enjoy the scenery of the North Shore, and since you can experience the largest zipline in Oahu, I recommend it.

短い期間の中で、日本ではできない体験ができるツアーに参加したいと思い、ジップラインツアーに参加しました。送迎付きだったので、集合時間前から待っていましたが、時間になっても来なくて「5分待っても迎えが来ない時はその場所から離れず、ツアー会社に連絡…」とあったので電話をしました（日本語スタッフはなし） 集合場所がホテルのツアーロビーで、他のツアー参加者がごった返していて、いくつかのホテルを回ってからのピックアップだったのでおそかったようです。
ケアナファーム にも日本語ガイドはいないので説明は全て英語でしたが、ツアーガイドも分かりやすく、簡単な英語で何度も説明してくれました。
朝早い集合でワイキキに戻ってくるのが2時過ぎるので、朝食は取っていった方がいいです。ケアナファーム ではジュースやスナックを買うことができますが、ランチを食べるようなところは無かったです。
ノースショアの景色も堪能できて、ジップラインもオアフ島最大のジップラインも楽しめるのでオススメします。

I was told that there was no reservation. I'm not sure if it was a mistake by Veltra or Polo Club, but although I was able to go horseback riding somehow, the attitude of the Polo Club was consistently poor, and I felt terrible even though I did nothing wrong. The phone support from Veltra was only in English, so I couldn't contact them right away. That was disappointing as well. Since I was really looking forward to the activity, I felt very let down.

予約が入っていないと言われました。ベルトラのミスなのかポロクラブのミスなのか分かりませんが、何とか乗馬は出来たものの終始ポロクラブの対応(態度)が悪く、こちらは何も悪くないのに最悪の気分でした。ベルトラの電話対応は英語のみで直ぐに連絡することができませんでした。その面でも残念。楽しみにしていたアクティビティだけあって、とても残念な思いをしました。

I'm usually terrified of roller coasters, but I flew for the first time at my husband's request.

The staff who provided transportation to the site and explained the consent form spoke some Japanese. The instructor who flew with us primarily spoke English, but he explained everything clearly with gestures, making it very easy to understand. I was really nervous, so he kept reassuring me with "Relux~ ( ¨̮ )" several times, which was funny.

I was worried about the floating sensation, as I’m not good with the feeling of my stomach dropping on roller coasters, but when I actually flew, there was almost no floating sensation, just a brief moment when I took off. However, the wind pressure was intense until the parachute opened, so I was focused on breathing and didn’t have the chance to look around (they also teach you breathing techniques beforehand). When the parachute opened and I was able to look around, the view of Hawaii spread out before me, and it was truly breathtaking.

If there are those who are hesitant because they’re not good with roller coasters, I highly recommend this experience. I would love to fly again if I get the chance! (୨୧•͈ᴗ•͈)

普段ジェットコースターでビビり倒す私ですが、夫の希望もあり初めて飛びました。

現地への送迎、同意書の説明はある程度日本語が話せるスタッフがしてくれました。
一緒に飛ぶインストラクターはほぼ英語のみでしたが、ジェスチャーを交えて丁寧に説明してくれたのでとてもわかりやすかったです。めちゃくちゃビビってたので何度も「Relux〜( ¨̮ )」と声をかけてもらいました笑

ジェットコースターの内臓が浮くような浮遊感が苦手で本当に大丈夫かと不安でしたが、実際に飛んでみると浮遊感はほぼなく、飛び出した時に一瞬だけでした。とはいえパラシュートが開くまで風圧がすごいので、呼吸に必死で周りを見る余裕はなかったです笑(呼吸法も事前に教えてくれます)
パラシュートが開いて周りを見る余裕ができた時には一面にハワイの景色が広がっていて、正に絶景でした。

もしジェットコースター等が苦手で迷ってる方がおられたら是非お勧めします。
また機会があれば飛びたいです(୨୧•͈ᴗ•͈)

It was very enjoyable, and I wanted more courses. Since there is a guide, there's nothing to worry about, but they don't understand Japanese at all. At the end, they give you 40 photos for $50 as data.

とても楽しく、もっともっとコースが欲しかった。ガイドがつくのでなんも心配ないけど、日本語はまったく通じない。最後撮った写真を40枚で$50でデータでくれる。

Ocean was beyond amazing! This was like a dream come true. Ocean taught us about sharks and their environment and behaviors. She taught us ocean conservation and shark conservation. The tides we a bit tough so highly advise being mentally prepared and physically prepared. Overall amazing experience. I can’t wait for my next trip to Oahu and do this again. The best experience ever. I hold such a special place in my heart for the ocean and seeing how special of a place it holds to ocean is heartwarming and amazing. This experience brings such joy to my soul. Amazing.

I first jumped at the opportunity for skydiving with the "3-day free Wi-Fi bonus," but... due to the difficulty of coordinating my activities during the 5-day trip, I had to give up on it. After canceling, I had to reapply, which took some time, so I recommend being cautious and confirming everything from the start.

(However, thanks to the au World Data Flat Rate app campaign available until March 31, I was able to use Wi-Fi for free during my stay, so it's a must for au users‼️)

On the day of the activity, it was quite chaotic. I overslept and was late by an hour for the pickup time! First, I reported my lateness to Veltra via email. Then, I decided to go to the Pacific Skydiving Center on my own and informed them of my decision. I opted to take a taxi from the hotel and asked the driver to use Google Maps for navigation to hurry us along. I had read in reviews that there could be a long wait before jumping, so I wasn't too anxious. I arrived in just under an hour from Waikiki and made it in time.

The diving experience was truly amazing, and there was no time to feel scared as everyone was jumping out one after another. I entrusted myself completely to the instructors who jumped with me. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it was impressive to see the smiles on the faces of those who had just jumped. Hawaii Skydiving brings happiness to everyone! If you're currently hesitating, I want to encourage you to go for it without hesitation!

■まずスカイダイビング『無料特典Wi-Fi3日間付き』に飛び付いたのですが…実際には旅行5日間の行動動線が受け渡しに難しかった為、断念しました。
で、キャンセル後に再度申込みになり時間を要しましたので、最初から慎重にご確認される事をお勧めします。

(ただ3/31迄キャンペーン中の au 世界データ定額アプリ取得で滞在中全てWi-Fi使用がタダになりましたのでauの人は必見‼️ )
■アクティビティ当日ですが、ドタバタ劇でした。
な、何とピックアップ時間の1時間も寝坊し遅刻したのです！①まずベルトラに遅刻のメール報告②自力でパシフィックスカイダイビングセンターで行く事を決意しその旨をセンターに伝える③ホテルからタクシーで現地に向かう手段に決めドライバーにGoogleで検索ナビをお願いしてから急いでもらいました。事前に口コミで飛ぶまでに何時間も待機する…と書き込みを既読してたので焦る事はありませんでした。ワイキキから1時間弱で到着し間に合いました。
ダイビングは、実に素晴らしい経験で怖いと感じてる暇なく、みんなどんどん飛び出していく感じでした。一緒に飛んでもらう彼らに全信頼を、自身を委ねる。
まさに一生のうちにそんな経験もまずないですし、飛び終えた人に笑顔が絶えなかったのが印象的でした。
みんなを幸せにするHawaii Skydiving！
もし、今迷っている人は、迷わず進め！と後押ししてあげたいです。

I always rely on Viator's optional tours. Previously, the one-hour horseback riding experience went by in no time, so this time I signed up for the two-hour course. It was great that the courses were different for one hour and two hours. Considering the waiting time, the pickup was at 10:20 (the bus took a while to arrive...). We started horseback riding at 12:15. While we were getting ready to ride, it started to rain, so we borrowed raincoats from the ranch and were all set. However, the rain stopped quickly, and we had blue skies! There was one staff member for a group of six Japanese tourists. We rode for a leisurely and fulfilling two hours at the filming location of Jurassic Park, reminiscing about the movie.

いつも、ベルトラさんのオプショナルツアーでお世話になっております。
以前、１時間の乗馬があっという間でしたので、今回は２時間コースを申し込みました。１時間と２時間は、コースが違ったので、良かったです。
待ち時間を考え、10：20ピックアップ（なかなか時間にはバスが来ず・・）
12：15～乗馬。乗る準備をしていたら、雨が降り、牧場のカッパを借りて準備万端。でも、すぐに雨も上がり、青空に！！
１人のスタッフに６人の日本人観光客のグループでした。ジェラシックパークのロケ地で、映画を思い出しながら、ゆっくりたっぷり２時間の乗馬でした。

Since being picked up would take up the whole day, I rented a car and went to the location. I arrived an hour before the meeting time, but the procedures were quick, and although the diving was scheduled for noon, we were able to take off much earlier. I appreciate the prompt service!

However, I felt a bit uneasy about the lack of checks. The instructor immediately proceeded to the next dive after landing. They quickly folded the used parachute and prepared for the next flight, but that process was very simple and didn't involve checks from others.

The staff efficiently secured the customers' safety belts, but to put it bluntly, it felt quite careless. The skydiving experience itself was amazing, but I felt that the checks could be a bit more thorough...

Diving while looking at the blue sky and ocean of Hawaii, along with the rainbow, was the best!

お迎えだと１日潰れてしまうので、レンタカーを借りて現地に行きました。
集合時間の１時間前に到着してしまいましたが、手続きが早く行われ１２時予定のダイビングでしたがかなり早く飛ぶ事が出来ました。対応に感謝！

ただ、少し不安に思ったのが・・・、誰のチェックもない事。
インストラクターは飛んで降りたら直ぐに次のダイビングを行います。
使用したパラシュートをチャッチャと畳んで次のフライトを行うわけですが・・・その作業が凄く簡単で他の人のチェックを受けないんです。

お客さんの安全ベルトなども手際よくサッサと装着するわけですが、悪く言えば非常にいい加減な感じです。スカイダイビング自体は素晴らしい体験でしたが、少々チェックが甘いな・・・と感じました。

ハワイの青い空と海、虹を見ながらのダイビングは最高でした！！

The canoe show and night show at the Polynesian Cultural Center, as well as the hula lessons, were very enjoyable. Our guide, Kelina, was knowledgeable and made the tour both fun and informative. I felt that the bus driver's driving was quite wild, and I hope that can be improved. Overall, it was a highly satisfying tour.

ポリネシアンセンターのカヌーショウとナイトショウ、フラのレッスンがとても楽しかったです。ガイドのケリーナさんが知識豊富でとても楽しく為になる内容のツアーでした。バスの運転手さんの運転がかなりワイルドでそこだけは改善してほしいと思いました。トータルでは最高に満足度の高い内容のツアーでした。

Four years ago, I visited Kualoa Ranch without a reservation, but it was already fully booked, and I couldn't participate. This time, I made a reservation in advance, so we were able to join as planned and enjoyed it as a family of four.

４年前は予約なしにクアロア牧場を訪れましたが、既に予約でいっぱいとなっており、参加できませんでした。
今回は事前に予約を済ませていたので、計画通りに参加できて家族４人で楽しめました。

I was a bit nervous about my first skydiving experience, but the high energy of the instructor and the cameraman eased my tension. When it was time to jump, I was dropped without having a moment to be scared, so surprisingly, I didn't feel much fear at all (laughs).

After jumping, I experienced a sense of exhilaration like never before. It was a 5-night, 7-day trip to Hawaii, but skydiving was the most fun! I want to jump again! (laughs)

初めてのスカイダイビングでちょっとビビってましたが、インストラクターやカメラマンのテンションが高すぎて緊張はほぐれ、いざ飛ぶぞ！という時もビビる間もなく落とされたので意外と恐怖心はなかったです(笑)
飛んだあとは今までに経験したことの無い爽快感でした。
5泊7日のハワイ旅行でしたが、スカイダイビングが1番楽しかったです！もう1回飛びたい！(笑)

The view from 14,000 feet was amazing!
When we ascended above the clouds in the Cessna, the horizon stretched as far as the eye could see!
It formed a beautiful curve, and I truly felt that the Earth is round (laughs).
It was my first experience, but the explanations in Japanese were easy to understand.
It was hard to breathe from the moment we jumped until the parachute opened!
They filmed us, and it's funny because I made a weird face.
The harness dug into my legs, and it was a bit painful when the parachute opened and there was pressure on both sides.
The landing was stable, and I felt a great sense of reassurance!
I definitely want to do it again!
The drivers for the round trip from the hotel were fluent in Japanese and very nice people!
Everything was fantastic!

上空14000ftからの景色は最高でした！
雲の上までセスナで上がると、見渡す限りの水平線！
それが綺麗な曲線を描き、地球は本当に丸いんだなと実感しました(笑)
初めての体験でしたが、日本語での説明がありわかりやすかったです。
飛び降りてからパラシュートが開くまでは息がしにくい！
そしてビデオを撮ってもらいましたが、変な顔になってるのが面白いです。
ハーネスが足に食い込み、パラシュート開いてから左右に不可がかかると少し痛かったです。
着地も安定してて、凄い安心感がありました！
また、是非したいです！
ホテルから行きと帰りのドライバーも日本語ペラペラでとても良い人でした！
全部最高！

My first skydiving experience was absolutely amazing! After taking off by helicopter, we arrived at the jump site in about 20 to 30 minutes, above the clouds, higher than Mount Fuji. From there, we jumped one by one in no time! The instructor counted down "3, 2, 1!" and we jumped, so there was no time to hesitate in a good way (laughs). During the first minute of free fall, I was really confused about how to breathe, but the instructor and the cameraman helped ease my nerves. This is also the timing for taking photos. The view of Hawaii's blue ocean and the green land from above was incredibly beautiful. Once the parachute opened, I enjoyed a leisurely and majestic aerial stroll. Since it was morning, the weather was great, and I was able to fully savor the breathtaking scenery for about 5 to 10 minutes. The colors of Hawaii that you see with your own eyes, without any glass or barriers, are highly recommended. There were also participants from overseas, not just Japanese, and we waited freely until it was our turn. There was a snack truck where you could grab breakfast.

[Points of Concern] I was a bit worried about an elderly Japanese staff member. He explained things in Japanese on the bus ride there, and we signed a waiver. Since the waiver was a document for worst-case scenarios, I was cautious, but it was explained to me in a rather vague manner by this elderly man (around 70-80 years old), which honestly made me quite anxious. However, once we arrived at the site, the instructors took great care of us, and I finally felt reassured. If you can get past the elderly man, a fantastic view and thrill await you! I want to challenge myself again soon.

初めてのスカイダイビング、最高の経験になりました!
ヘリで離陸後20～30分程度でジャンプ地点に到着。富士山よりも高い雲の上です。そこからあっという間に一組ずつジャンプ！インストラクターさんが「3･2･1！」とカウントダウンしたら飛ぶので、良い意味でためらう時間はありません(笑）最初の1分間のフリーフォールは本当に呼吸の仕方が分からなくて戸惑いましたが、インストラクターさんやカメラマンさんが和ませてくれます。写真を撮るのもこのフリーフォールのタイミングです。上空から見るハワイの青い海と大陸の緑は最高に綺麗でした。パラシュートが開くとゆったりと雄大な空中散歩を楽しめます。午前中なのでお天気も良く、5～10分程度の見たことのない景色を存分に味わえます。窓ガラスなどの遮るものが何もない、自分の目で見るハワイの色はとてもオススメです。日本人以外にも海外の方々も参加していて、呼ばれるまでは自由に待機。朝ごはんを食べられる軽食トラックがありますよ。
【気になった点】日本人のおじいさんスタッフが気になりました。行きのバスの中で日本語で説明して頂き、承諾書にサインします。承諾書の内容は最悪の事態に備えての書類なので慎重になりますが、それを頼りないおじいさん(70～80代前後)にふわふわと説明されて、正直かなり心配でした。現地に到着するとインストラクターの方々がしっかりケアして下さり、やっと安心できました。おじいさんさえクリアできれば最高の景色とスリルが待っています！また近々チャレンジしたいです。
