The driver provided explanations in Japanese throughout the journey to the location. The waiver seemed to be a direct translation from English, which made me a bit uneasy about the explanation, but since I had to sign it to be able to fly, I felt there was no choice.
Once we arrived, we received instructions from the instructor in both English and some Japanese (words), which was manageable. However, the training was not comprehensive; it only covered a few points of caution and explanations of body positions during takeoff, in the air, and landing. I was left wondering if that was really all we needed.
The instructor was very kind, and I felt no anxiety. There was also a handsome instructor! When jumping from the plane, it happens in an instant without any chance to hesitate. After taking off, it seems that the services and flying styles during free fall and parachute descent vary greatly depending on the instructor. I was even allowed to operate the parachute!
There were many Japanese participants, which made it easy to bond with others and was very reassuring. We also booked a photographer, and everyone enjoyed watching the video together, which was a lot of fun!
You can see all of Oahu and truly recognize that the Earth is round! This experience offers unforgettable memories that you can't have in Japan, so I highly recommend participating!
現地までの間ドライバー、ビデオにて終始日本語で説明がありました。誓約書は英語を直訳してあるようで説明に不安がありましたが、やるからにはサインしなくては飛べないので仕方ない感じです。
現地に着いてからは、インストラクターから英語、日本語(単語)で講習を受けますがなんとかなります。ただ、ビデオでもインストラクターでも講習という講習ではなく注意点を何点かと、飛ぶ時、飛んでる時、着陸時の体勢の説明だけです、ほんとにこれだけでいいの?って感じです。
インストラクターはとても優しく不安もありませんでした。またイケメンインストラクターもいます!飛行機から飛ぶ時は有無を言わせず一瞬です。飛んでからはインストラクターによってフリーフォール時、パラシュートフォール時のサービスや飛び方は全く違うみたいです。私はパラシュートを操作させてくれました!
日本人の参加者も多いので現地で仲良くもなり、何より心強いです。カメラマンも予約し、日本人みんなでビデオ鑑賞をしましたがかなりたのしいです!
オアフ島が一望でき、地球が丸いことを認識できます!日本では味わえない最高の思い出ができますので、ぜひ参加してみてください!

My daughters and I had a great time The tour bus picked us up on time . The tour guide /driver provided us a lot of information and history about the island, restaurants and all important sites we drive by . He was was funny too . He answered every ones questions.He allowed us enough time for breaks and photos. We had an amazing time at the Waterfall, my youngest had a foot surgery last year and she can’t walk too fast , we where having a great time swimming in the waterfall pool that we lost track of time . We had 15 minutes to make back to the bus , knowing my youngest can’t walk too fast or run my oldest said “ I’ll have him wait mom “ and took off running ( she runs track and cross country) . We had to be back by 12pm , we ( my youngest and I) made by 12:05 , My oldest daughter was happy the driver waited for us , we all were :). Then we drove to the snorkeling site , the tide was low and it was too rocky, I have never snorkel and I’m not a great swimmer, so we walked up to do some shopping and had a fresh coconut. We made our last stop at Haleiwa, the driver recommended some restaurants . The girls and I had a wonderful time , we ate and did some shopping. He was on time to pick us up . On the way back to the hotel we were tired and feel asleep. Overall we had a great time, we visited a few places and I didn’t have to drive through all that traffic I feel bad I forgot the drivers name , He was knowledgeable and I felt safe with him behind the wheel while the girls and I enjoy the activities and sites . The only reason I didn’t rate outstanding is because the snorkeling was not fun , the waves were too strong and the tide was too low , too rocky, but no one can really control that :)

I finally fulfilled my long-held dream of going skydiving!
Since it starts very early in the morning, be careful not to oversleep. We gathered around 5 AM.
On the day of the jump, it took about an hour by bus from Honolulu.
There were about a dozen tandem skydivers, and it seemed like they were continuously preparing for the next jump after each dive, so I think they probably do around ten jumps a day.
You receive instructions on the correct posture for diving and landing, so as long as you follow those carefully, I don't think there are many dangers.
The scariest part was probably signing the waiver that states they take no responsibility for anything that happens, haha.
念願叶ってスカイダイビングを決行!
とても朝が早いので、寝坊の注意が必要です。5時前後くらいに集合でした。
当日はホノルルからバスに揺られて1時間。
タンデムのスカイダイバーは、10数名の方がいらっしゃいますが、飛んでは次の準備を繰り返しているようで、おそらく1日に10本くらい飛んでいらっしゃるのでは無いかと思います。
最初にダイブする際の姿勢や着陸時の姿勢など注意を受けますので、それをしっかり守っていれば危険はあまりないと思います。
もっとも怖かったのは、何があっても責任を負いませんという誓約書にチェックを入れていくところですかね笑

While writing the agreement in the pickup truck, I watched a video. The video was easy to understand with Japanese dubbing. Korean and Chinese had subtitles. The agreement is in Japanese, but the staff instructed us in English to fill in our names and addresses in English. After arrival, explanations are given in English, so those who don't understand English might feel a bit anxious. I don't understand English, but since I had received explanations in Japanese while skydiving in Guam, I was able to somewhat understand the flow and points to note as they were the same. The instructor only knows some Japanese words, so it might be better to have someone who can speak English if you want to ask detailed questions.

My first skydiving experience in life.
The excitement and thrill while going up to 4267 meters in a Cessna was overwhelming.
The moment I jumped from 4267 meters was scary, but the feeling of freefall is something that only those who have done it can truly appreciate.
I had photos and videos taken on-site, but my face looked too awkward, so I want to have a revenge jump next time I go to Hawaii (laughs).

This was my second time skydiving. The first time was in Japan, which was an emotional experience in its own right, but the view from above Hawaii was on a whole different level. I felt the power of nature with the beautiful blue and turquoise sea and the large mountains.
By the way, my friend, who is not good with heights, participated alone. There were two other solo participants besides me, so if you're hesitant, don't worry and definitely give it a try.
The shuttle was driven by a Japanese person, but the instructor was from overseas. They use simple Japanese words for the basic explanations, so it's not a problem even for first-timers.
While the free fall is fine, after the parachute opens, you descend in a figure-eight pattern, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it's necessary to take anti-nausea medication beforehand and inform the instructor. If you forget to mention it, some instructors might sway you side to side thinking it's helpful, which could make you feel unwell, so be careful.
Also, while waiting for your turn, the café wagon is stopped, so you can enjoy some light snacks.
It was a truly valuable experience! Thank you!
人生2度目のスカイダイビング。
1度目は日本で飛び、それはそれで感動的な体験だったのですが、やはりハワイ上空からの景色はケタが違いました。
青や水色の綺麗な海、大きな山、自然の迫力を感じました。

送迎は日本人の方でしたが、インストラクターは海外の方です。
基本的な説明は簡単な日本語の単語を使って教えてくれますので、初めての方でも問題ないです。
落ちている時はいいのですが、パラシュートを開いてから8の字になって降りていくため、酔いやすい方は事前に酔い止めを飲んでおくことと、インストラクターに伝えておくことが必要です。
伝え漏れると、インストラクターによっては、良かれと思ってガンガン左右に揺らして気分が悪くなる人もいるようなので気をつけてください。
また、自分の番まではカフェワゴンが止まっているため、軽食を楽しむこともできます。

The package with transportation was very helpful since I stayed in Waikiki and couldn't use a rental car.
It looks quite far on the map, but on the way there, I enjoyed the view from the car window with a Japanese-speaking guide. On the way back, there was no guide, but I was able to sleep comfortably.
We were first taken to dinner, and then we watched the show. I didn't have high expectations for the meal based on other reviews, but perhaps because of that, I thought, "This is surprisingly great."
The part of the show with the fire manipulation was really impressive and the most memorable! At the end, you can take a commemorative photo with the performers. Since you're there, definitely do it!

I had the best experience. The bus driver was fluent in Japanese and explained the important points in Japanese, but the local instructor was just an American, so he hardly understood Japanese. I think it would be more enjoyable to communicate if I could speak some simple English.
Also, if you don't want to bring valuables and leave your cards at the hotel, you won't have any money when you want to take videos or photos while diving. There are lockers and an ATM, so it's better to bring a card that can withdraw cash or have more dollars with you.
After the drop, my face stiffened for about two seconds, but after that, I could smile widely. It was truly amazing. I definitely want to jump here again when I go to Hawaii.
最高の体験ができました。
バスの運転手さんは日本語がペラペラで、注意事項等も日本語で教えてくれますが、現地のインストラクターさんは普通にアメリカ人なのでほぼ日本語が通じません。簡単な英会話ができたらもっと楽しくコミュニケーションが取れると思います。
あと貴重品を持って行きたくないが為にカード類までホテルへ置いてくると、ダイビング時にビデオや写真を撮ってもらいたくなったときのお金がどうにもなりません。
ロッカーとATMがあるので現金を引き出せるカードか、ドルを多めに持っていったほうが良いです。
落下後2秒はさすがに顔が強張りますが、あとはもう全開の笑顔でいられます。本当に最高でした。

The weather wasn't perfectly clear, but my first experience riding on the beach was absolutely wonderful. The horse was very trusting of people, so I felt comfortable riding even without any riding skills. The dog at the club was very cute.
The reason I didn't give it a 5-star rating is that I was told the riding time would be 90 minutes, but it ended up being just under 80 minutes. Also, the club's restroom was clogged, and I couldn't use it beforehand.
Other than that, it was a very good experience.

But I have to say that this is tour is not just about the scenery, the guide made this experience be even better. The local guides grew up on the North Shore and they are so nice and knowledgeable about the area. If you wanna see turtles and if you are looking for a perfect day on the North Shore you should book this tour. A true unique experience in Hawaii.

We were picked up in WAIKIKI and took a bus to the Polynesian Cultural Center, where the guide entertained us with local information during the ride. They mentioned that it's okay to sleep if you're feeling tired, so no worries about that!
I had imagined the cultural center to be similar to a community center in Japan, but it turned out to be a vast area where you can explore various attractions. The meals are served buffet-style, so there's no overwhelming amount of food, and you can eat only what you like.
The show itself was more impressive than I expected, and I really enjoyed it! I highly recommend this plan for first-time visitors. ⭐︎

The buffet-style dinner was not satisfying due to the limited selection. If there are few people, you will be seated with others. I chose this place because it included transportation, but it might be wiser to dine at one of the restaurants inside the center instead of the buffet. The center was just as I imagined, lively and enjoyable. The mixed juice I bought from a stall to drink while watching the show was very delicious. It was frozen, so I could enjoy it cold until the end. As for the show, it was outstanding. I saw a fire dance live for the first time, and it was thrilling. The story was structured in a way that anyone could enjoy it (it reminded me a bit of The Lion King).
ブュッフェスタイルのディナーは、品数も少なく満足とは言えません。人数少ない場合は相席となります。
送迎込みだったので選びましたが、ディナーはブュッフェで取るよりもセンター内のレストランに入る方が賢いかも?
センターは想像通りに和気藹々としており、楽しめました。ショーを見る際飲む為に出店で買ったミックスジュースがとても美味しかったです。凍っていたので最後まで冷たく楽しめました。
ショーですが、言うことなしです。生で初めてファイヤーダンスを見ましたがハラハラドキドキしました。ストーリー制になっており誰が見ても楽しめると思います。(ライオンキングをふつふつと思い出すw)

My friend and I woke up early in the morning and drove ourselves out to Haleiwa for this tour. The sky looked really overcast and were already thinking the worst that the tour would not be great however we were wrong. This is the perfect kayak tour to do on a sunny or even rainy day. Visibility was still clear and when entering into the Turtle River with all the rain, if felt like we were in a National Discovery scene exploring the amazons. We seen so much turtles in the river and so much fishes out in the ocean. It is also a plus that the kayaks are clear ans see through so you can just record and take pictures from inside your kayak instead of risking it out and losing it.

It was absolutely amazing! You can enjoy an unknown experience and breathtaking views. During the car ride there, we only watched a simple video, and there was no special training. Once we arrived and dropped off our bags, we were called quite quickly, so there wasn't much time to mentally prepare. However, as long as you pay attention to the simple things that don't require training, you'll be fine. The diving was truly fantastic, so I highly recommend it!
The only downside was the shuttle driver. I would give this part one star... An elderly Japanese man came to pick us up, but we couldn't communicate well. It didn't work out in either Japanese or English. I felt nothing but anxiety regarding this man. Despite that, he asked for a tip on the way back, which left me feeling really disappointed. Other guests who were with us said the same thing. Aside from this, it was truly a wonderful experience, so I'm glad about that.
I hope that when I go to Hawaii again, there will be improvements regarding the shuttle service.

When I first got tickets to the Polynesian Cultural Center, I was a little worried since we would be there all day. Would we find enough to do for 9 hours? Yes, yes we could, and one day wasn't even enough!
There were so many incredible activities and performances in all of the different villages, but my favorites had to be Samoa and Hawaii. The presenter for Samoa was not hilarious, but so entertaining, and quite the hottie too! :P I knew Hawaii would be great, how could it not be, but I was blown away by their performances.
We also visited Tahiti and New Zealand, but didn't have time for Fiji or Tonga unfortunately. Next visit! The canoe ride, and the canoe pageant were quite fun, and even the IMAX movie which we chose to see as a break from the walking, ended up being very good! You definitely don't want to miss it!
The food at the luau was so tasty, and I had a LOT of poke. So much poke. Like, pretty much all of the poke was in my belly by the end of dinner. And although I loved the show while we ate, the highlight was definitely the evening Breath of Life show. It was so interesting to see hula and other dances put to a story.
The day was long, but so worth it!

This was my second trip to Hawaii, and I decided to challenge myself by booking a skydiving experience that I had been curious about since my last visit.
A Japanese gentleman picked me up at the hotel at 5:10 AM, and he was such a fun person that I didn't feel sleepy at all during the drive to the North Shore. Once we arrived, the atmosphere was very lively, and it turned out to be quite different from what I expected, thinking it would be all in English.
While waiting for my turn, I was able to relax in the beautiful weather. The instructor primarily spoke English, but he understood us and gave instructions like "squat," "raise your hands," and "lift your legs," so I was able to enjoy the experience without any worries.
Before taking off, I did feel some fear, but once we jumped, all I felt was exhilaration and high energy. After this experience, I really want everyone to try it.
Also, after the parachute opened, we descended while spinning several times. Therefore, I recommend getting plenty of sleep the night before and taking motion sickness medication. I went without both, and I couldn't recover for half a day afterward.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is definitely a must-visit. Even if you don't understand English, you can still enjoy it. The buffet was delicious, and the evening show was amazing! It may be a classic, but the fire dance was breathtaking!
ポリネシアカルチャーセンターは絶対に行くべきですよ。英語が分からなくても楽しめました。
バイキングも美味しくて、夜のショーは最高でしたよ!定番かも知れませんが、ファイヤーダンスは圧巻!

I had a amazing time with Toa Luau, food, drinks & show are great. It's a very family oriented luau and the location is beautiful. The good thing about being far from Waikiki, is that you can skip the crowds from the other shows and get a more personal experience.
I really enjoyed the pre-luau activities, they let us be part of dinner preparation and we learned how to make some traditional Polynesian dishes. They let us peel taro, green banana, they showed us how make flower leis & how to use palm leafs to make headbands, baskets and hats. We played Polynesian games and had the chance to play some musical instruments too. Kids and adults were having so much fun! I believe this is the only luau where you can experience a Kava Cerimony, one of the most iconic cultural traditions in Fiji.
I've been to other luaus before, but this one felt different. I didn't feel as a tourist. The staff makes you feel like you are part of their family and that they are inviting you for a real party at their home, so it made the evening really special.
Another good thing is that it includes admission to Waimea Valley. We arrived earlier and were able to enjoy the botanical garden and of course, swim at the most famous waterfall on Oahu. There are changing rooms available at the park so you can get ready for the luau.
I recommend this luau for everyone who is looking for a real luau experience and wants to learn more about the beautiful Hawaiian & Polynesian culture. Absolutely loved it!

The staff were very kind, and I enjoyed myself from start to finish.
It seems that there are days when cancellations occur due to the weather, but the day we participated was clear, and we quickly got our turn.
I had some fear before jumping out of the plane, but once I did, it was nothing at all, haha.
I was much more captivated by the amazing scenery than by my fear!
If you're hesitating, I definitely think you should experience it.
Thank you for a wonderful time.
スタッフの皆様がとても親切で最初から最後まで楽しめました。
天気に左右されるためキャンセルになる日もあるようですが、私たちが参加した日は快晴ですぐに順番が回ってきました。
飛行機から飛び出す前までは恐怖心もありますが、飛び出してしまえばなんてことはなかったです笑
恐怖心よりもはるかに、景色の素晴らしさに気を取られます!
迷っているなら是非体験するべきだと思いました。
素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。

I went to Hawaii for the first time for skydiving!
We gathered at 4 AM, and I was sleepy, but once we arrived at the location, I was wide awake.
The tension was brief, and before I knew it, I was in the air. The free fall was a bit hard to breathe and felt intense (laughs), but the cameraman came right in front of me and made me laugh, which made me feel very reassured.
Once the parachute opened, I enjoyed the magnificent scenery of Hawaii while spinning around and chatting with the instructor.
I was fortunate to have a great partner and a wonderful cameraman, making it a truly fantastic experience.
It’s a bit pricey, but I think it’s worth asking for either a camera or video!
スカイダイビング目的で初ハワイへ!
朝4時集合で眠かったけど、現地に着くと目も覚める。
緊張は一瞬、気づけば空中。フリーフォールは息ができなくて苦しかったりもしたけど(笑)、カメラマンさんが目の前まできてくれて笑わせてくれるから、とても安心できました。
パラシュートが開いてからは、雄大なハワイの景色を満喫しつつ、クルクル回ってくれたり話しかけてくれたり。
パートナーの方にもカメラマンさんにも恵まれ、とても素敵な時間になりました。
ちょっと高いけど、カメラかビデオどちらかだけでもお願いした方が良いと思います!

Aloha, and mahalo nui for spending some time to shower us with your kind words. The fact that you remember the key parts of the luau made us all feel that you had the best time and it is our hope that we'd see you again when you come back to Oahu
