乗馬体験(0.5～2時間)　2歳から参加OKの子供向けコースやサンセット、貸切ランチ付きなど選べるコースで広大な牧場を満喫！＜ガンストック牧場／現地集合＞

I was satisfied since it was my first experience! 初体験だったので満足！

Reviewed by: トミーガール

On Saturday, October 8, 2016, my daughter and I challenged ourselves to horseback riding at Gunstock Ranch. We took the number 55 bus from the Ala Moana bus stop, heading straight to Gunstock Ranch.

The number 55 bus, which connects Ala Moana and Haleiwa on the North Shore, runs along the east coast of Oahu via downtown, allowing us to enjoy beautiful views of Kaneohe Bay and local beaches from the bus window.

Upon arrival, we signed a waiver given to us by a female staff member, stored our belongings, and got ready for horseback riding. We set off in a line of six, led by a handsome cowboy. It was smaller and less crowded than Kualoa Ranch.

The spacious ranch, blue sky, white clouds, and the deep blue sea stretching below— the scenery from horseback was breathtakingly beautiful! Since it was my first time riding, I was a bit scared at first, but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed the beautiful views and interaction with the animals.

For those with horseback riding experience, it might feel a bit lacking, but since the pace is leisurely, I think it’s just right for first-timers.

2016年10月8日土曜日、gunstockranchで娘と二人で、乗馬にチャレンジしました。アラモアナのバス停から55番バスに乗り、一路gunstock ranchへ。
アラモアナとノースショアのハレイワを結ぶ55番バスは、ダウンタウンを経由してオアフ島の東海岸沿いを走り、車窓からは美しいカネオヘ湾やローカルビーチの絶景を楽しむことができました。
到着すると女性スタッフに渡された誓約書にサインし、荷物を預けていざ乗馬。イケメンのカウボーイを先頭に6人の隊列で出発。クアロアランチよりもこじんまりとしていて、参加する人も少数でした。
広々とした牧場、青い空、白い雲、眼下に広がる紺碧の海ー。馬上から見る景色はこの世のものとは思えない美しさでした！初めての乗馬だったので、乗る時は少し怖かったのですが、すぐに慣れ、美しい景色と動物との触れ合いを楽しみました。
乗馬経験のある人には少し物足りないのかもしれませんが、のんびりと進んでいくので、初体験の方々にはちょうどいい内容なのではないかと思います。

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 highly recommend skydiving in Hawaii! ハワイのスカイダイビングおすすめです！

Reviewed by: 苺サンド

It was my first skydiving experience. There were explanations and consent forms in Japanese, so I had no anxiety at all. The tandem crew member was a cheerful and handsome guy. He eased my pre-jump jitters, but still provided thorough explanations and preparations, so I wasn't scared.

We ascended in a Cessna above the clouds, and the view of the beaches in Hawaii from there was amazing. Since the tandem instructor jumps with you, there’s no chance of being too scared to jump, and before I knew it, I was falling through the sky. As we descended over the ocean, it was just beautiful, and all my stress disappeared.

Once we were in parachute mode, we glided around, and the instructor kept it fun.

There’s a shuttle service from the hotel in Waikiki, which makes it very convenient. We gathered at the hotel at 10:05, and it took about an hour by car to get to the airfield near the beaches on the north side of Hawaii. I stored all my belongings in a $1 locker (four quarters; there’s a change machine), and the waiting time was about 30 minutes. After getting on the Cessna, we jumped down in about 30 minutes, and then waited about 30 minutes to an hour for the bus to depart. I returned to the hotel around 14:30 to 15:00.

For tips, I gave the shuttle driver $10 each way per person. For the tandem crew member, I wrote my name and put the tip in a bag to drop in the box, which was over $20.

Including tips, it was a total of $200, and this experience was a great value! I definitely want to do it again the next time I go to Hawaii. I highly recommend it.

By the way, the free Wi-Fi router provided had poor connectivity. Since it was free, I can't complain too much. I rented a paid Wi-Fi in Japan and shared the cost with a friend.

初スカイダイビングでした。
日本語のビデオ説明や同意書もあり、不安は全くありませんでした。
タンデムクルーの方は愉快でイケメンなお兄さん。飛ぶ前のドキドキを和らげてくれ、でもしっかり説明や準備をしてくれるので怖くなかったです。
セスナ機で雲の上までのぼり、そこから見るハワイのビーチの景色が最高です。

タンデムでお兄さんが降りてくれるので、ビビって飛べないってこともなく、気付いたら空の上を落ちている感じです。
海の上を降りていくので、ただただ綺麗で本当にストレス吹っ飛びます。
パラシュート状態になってからはぐるぐる滑空したりお兄さんが楽しませてくれます。

ワイキキのホテルから送迎があるのでとてもラクチンです。
10:05ホテルに集合して、ハワイ北側のビーチ近くの飛行場まで、車で1時間くらいです。
1ドルロッカー(クオーターコイン×4。両替機あり)に荷物を全て預けて、待ち時間30分くらいでした。
セスナ機乗ってから30分で降りて来てバス発車まで30分〜1時間くらい待ち、ホテルに戻ったのは大体14:30〜15:00くらいでした。

チップは送迎の運転手に往復1人10ドルずつ。
タンデムクルーのお兄さんには名前を書いて袋にチップを入れてポストに入れます。20ドル以上。

全部でチップいれて200ドルで、この体験はコスパ最高です！また次にハワイ行くときも必ずやりたいと思ってます。オススメです。

ちなみに無料特典のwifiルーターは接続はあまり良くなかったです。無料なので仕方ないです。
日本で有料のwifi借りて、友人と割り勘して使いました。

ポリネシア カルチャー センター　ハワイ最大の伝統ルアウショー！ショーのみまたはビュッフェ・ディナー付きから選べるプラン＜送迎付きプランあり＞

The dance show is worth watching! ダンスショーは見る価値あり！

Reviewed by: みーたん

The Polynesian dance show was large in scale, had a solid story, was easy to understand, and was truly moving. The fire dance, in particular, was breathtaking. Since the venue is spacious, I think it's better to choose a plan that gets you as close to the front as possible. We were relatively near the front, so we could feel the dancers' passionate performances up close. Even though I should have been sleepy from the time difference, I was able to enjoy the show until the very end. I'm glad I participated!

ポリネシアンダンスショーは規模も大きく、ストーリーもしっかりしており、わかりやすく、感動しました。特にファイアーダンスは圧巻です。会場が広いので、なるべく前の席になるプランにしたほうが良いと思います。我々は比較的前のほうでしたので、ダンサーたちの熱気溢れるダンスを肌で感じることができました。時差で眠かったはずなのに、最後までしっかりと鑑賞できました。参加してよかったです！

The long-awaited skydiving! 念願のスカイダイビング！

Reviewed by: いっこ

Skydiving was something I had always wanted to try, and being able to do it in Hawaii felt like a dream! However, the wait time was a bit long, so I dozed off while waiting. When my name was called, there was a briefing about the position in the air, and I boarded a small plane with an enthusiastic instructor. I had to straddle something like a long bench and take off backward, which made me a little nervous thinking about falling! I didn't feel scared at all while on the ground, but when it was finally my turn, I felt a fear I had never experienced before in the few seconds before taking off. (laughs) From the moment we took off until the parachute opened, it was a strange sensation, and once the parachute opened, I enjoyed a leisurely stroll in the air while taking in the beautiful scenery of Hawaii. I am filled with gratitude for my parents who made this wonderful experience possible.

一度はやってみたかったスカイダイビングでしたが、それもハワイでできるなんて夢のようでした！
ただ待ち時間は少し長かったので、うとうとしながら待っていました。
名前が呼ばれると、空中での体勢についてレクチャーがあり、ノリノリのインストラクターと一緒に小型機に乗り込みました。
長椅子のようなものにまたがり後ろ向きに離陸する体勢だったので、落ちる落ちる！と少しびびりってしまいました。
地上にいる時は怖さは全く感じていなかったのですが、ついに自分の順番が来て、飛び立つまでの数秒はこれまでに感じたことのない怖さを感じました。笑
飛び立った瞬間からパラシュートが開くまでの間は不思議な感覚で、パラシュートが開くとハワイの素敵な景色を見ながらゆっくりと空中おさんぽが楽しめました。こんな幸せな体験をさせてくれた両親には感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。

Moving. 感動

Reviewed by: r★★

It's early in the morning, and we drive for an hour on the highway. Along the way, we are given a form to fill out, but it has seven pages, and I get really car sick (laughs). The guide was quite rushed, and we were hurried along. After getting ready, we listened to the explanation on how to land and waited for our turn. During that time, I watched the people who went before us come down. I wore a thin shirt, but the guide recommended that we wear as little as possible to fly, so I ended up in a T-shirt, which was quite cold (laughs). There were people flying in shorts and tank tops, but I think if you land on your backside or lose your balance, you would definitely scrape your thighs. After it was over, we could see the photos and videos taken of us right there. If you don't like them, you don't have to buy! I think it was around 30,000 yen for two still images and one video for me and my husband. Some people may ask for tips, but since they go to the next person's tandem, you don't give it directly to them. So I think you don't need to worry about that. It became a great memory.

朝早くて高速道路を1時間も走ります。途中記入必要な用紙を渡されますが7ページもあり車酔いがとんでもないです（笑）ガイドのおじさんにかなりせかされてバタバタと連れていかれました。準備ができてから着地の方法などの説明をきいて、自分たちの順番を待ちました。そのあいだ前に飛んだ人たちが降りてくるのをずっとみていました。うすでのシャツを着ていったのですがかなり強めにできるだけ薄着で飛んだほうが良いとガイドにすすめられTシャツで飛びましたがかなり寒かったです。（笑）ショートパンツやキャミソールで飛んでいる人もいましたがもししりもちをつきながらやバランスを保てなくて着地したときは絶対太ももをすりむくと思います。終わった後は自分が撮影された写真や動画などをその場で見ることができます。気に入らなけば購入しないでOK！静止画2本と動画1本主人と合わせて3万円いかないくらいだったと思います。チップは人によっては指定してくる人もいますが次の人のタンデムにいくので、本人に直接渡すわけではありません。だからきにしなくていいとおもいます。いい思い出になりました。

乗馬体験(0.5～2時間)　2歳から参加OKの子供向けコースやサンセット、貸切ランチ付きなど選べるコースで広大な牧場を満喫！＜ガンストック牧場／現地集合＞

Instead of just sightseeing horseback riding, they really let you run! ♪ 観光乗馬ではなく、しっかり走らせてくれます♪

Reviewed by: うまにあ

Horseback riding can be enjoyed all over the world, and I make sure to experience it wherever I travel. While most clubs typically offer just a basic riding experience, this one responded to our requests and allowed us to canter.

We chose the standard 60-minute course with our guide and the two of us, making a total of three people. At one point, my husband, who has only ridden three times, expressed his desire to try running a bit! The guide happily agreed and took us cantering through the hilly forest right away. After that, we cantered in a wide highland, enjoying an incredible riding experience that you can't find at other tourist riding clubs.

Since we cantered, we ended up with some extra time, so they took a longer route back, and the scenery along the way was absolutely stunning.

Not only was I thrilled that we could canter, but I was also impressed by how incredibly well-trained the horses were. I think many horses at riding clubs often disregard their riders, but the horses here were very responsive! With just a light touch of my legs, they would transition from a walk to a canter!

If you go to Hawaii, you definitely should stop by this place! The donkey was also super cute! The girl who took photos for us captured wonderful pictures, so I think it's a great idea to buy some as souvenirs!

乗馬は世界中で楽しめるので、旅行先では必ず体験しています。
ほとんどのクラブが体験乗馬で終わる事が多いなか、こちらはリクエストに応えて駈足を出してくれました。

ガイドさんと私達２名、計３名で通常の６０分コースを選択。
途中、３度しか乗馬経験のない主人が少し走ってみたい！とリクエストしたところ、ガイドの女の子は清くＯＫしてくれ起伏のある森の中をすぐに駈足してくれました。
その後も広い高原に出て駈足をしたり、他の観光乗馬クラブでは体験出来ないような素晴らしい乗馬をさせて頂きました。

駈足をしたせいで時間が余ってしまったということで、遠回りをして帰ってくれたのですがその途中の景色がとても素晴らしかったです。

今回駈足ができたこともさることながら、馬が驚くほど素晴らしく調教されていることに感動しました。どこの乗馬クラブの馬も大抵乗り役を馬鹿にして反応しないことが多いと思いますが、こちらのお馬さんはとっっっても反応が良いです！！足が触れるくらいの扶助で並足→駈足が出ます！

ハワイに行ったら絶対立ち寄って欲しいです♪
ロバもとっても可愛かった～♪
カメラマンの女の子が素晴らしい写真を撮ってくれるので思い出に買うのも良いと思います！

ポリネシア カルチャー センター　ハワイ最大の伝統ルアウショー！ショーのみまたはビュッフェ・ディナー付きから選べるプラン＜送迎付きプランあり＞

I was pleasantly surprised. 良い意味で期待を裏切られた

Reviewed by: てりやきてりー

After finishing the buffet-style dinner, we moved to the neighboring theater, and honestly, I thought that the show would just feature hula and fire dances alternating one after another until it started. However, it was completely different. The performance here was a well-structured play with a solid story and direction, truly a comprehensive art form.

With nearly 50 cast members performing without a moment's pause in front of an audience of 700 to 800, they sang, danced, and ran around the stage with incredible energy. It was as if the actors in a musical were passionately singing their feelings; here, the performers used their bodies like percussion instruments, showcasing a powerful group performance.

The direction that accomplished remarkable scene changes in a short time was simply outstanding. Just when you thought a massive white curtain was suddenly dropped from the ceiling, they would project images or skillfully weave in animations to gently explain the flow of the story, ensuring the audience was never bored.

This theater was specifically built for this play, maximizing the use of the stage in all directions—up, down, left, right, and even front and back. Sometimes, the performers would dash through the narrow aisles between the audience, making it difficult for anyone to leave their seats during the show.

The stage design included clever elements like pouring rain in the background, a waterfall flowing abundantly, and a fountain shooting up vigorously.

Above all, the fire dance using blazing torches was truly breathtaking. The speed and precision of the dance were impressive, and the fact that not a single performer made a mistake in what could have easily turned chaotic was remarkable. It’s not often you see a stage handling such a large amount of fire indoors. For those sitting in the front row, I imagine they could feel the heat of the flames on their faces.

Often, in tourist areas, you might see performances by students who are just doing it part-time, but this stage was entirely different. The performers likely underwent rigorous auditions and are practicing daily under tough conditions to achieve such a high level of performance.

Lastly, I must mention that the young male and female leads were both incredibly charming. My colleague's wife, who watched the show with us, praised the young male lead, saying, "He's handsome, muscular, and incredibly cool. Plus, he has a playful side, which makes him adorable!" On the other hand, I found the female lead to be beautiful with a lovely smile, and her slender figure was perfect, with all the right curves in all the right places.

Unfortunately, as soon as the show started, there was an announcement stating, "Please do not take photos or videos," so I have no footage to remember it by. I sincerely wish they had at least sold some postcards of the two leads near the exit as souvenirs. (I’m really disappointed!)

In any case, while Honolulu has its shining sun, blue ocean, and Diamond Head, it is undeniably a major city, so if you don’t engage with Hawaii's culture and traditions, the experience of being abroad can feel diminished. In that regard, this show at the Polynesian Cultural Center is sure to satisfy everyone who sees it.

At the end of the show, when the performers gathered on stage to bow, I believe that almost all the audience members applauded generously, even if it wasn't a standing ovation. For me, this became one of the most memorable tours of my trip to Hawaii, alongside the visit to Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island. I absolutely recommend it. Please make sure to see it!

　バイキング形式のディナーを食べ終えお隣の演劇シアターに移動したのですが、正直このショーが始まる瞬間までてっきりここではフラダンスやファイヤーダンスの類がただ代わる代わる繰り広げられるのだろうと思っていました。しかしそれは全く違っていたのです。ここでの舞台はストーリーや演出がしっかりと組み込まれた演劇、まさに綜合芸術でした。
　700～800名の観客が見守る中を総勢50名近いキャストが息つく暇もなく歌い踊りそして舞台の上を縦横無尽に駆け回ります。さながらミュージカルで役者がその募る思いを声高らかに歌い上げるかのように、この舞台では演者が肉体をまるで打楽器のように打ち鳴らしながら力強い集団パフォーマンスを見せてくれます。
　僅かな時間で見事なまでの場面転換を成し遂げる演出も素晴らしいのひと言に尽きます。突如天井から強大な白い垂れ幕を下ろしたかと思えば、そこにプロジェクターで映像を映し出したり、アニメーションを巧みに織り込んでストーリーの流れを優しく解説したりと観客をひとときたりとも飽きさせない仕掛けが次から次へと用意されています。
そもそもこのシアターはこのお芝居のために作られている専用の劇場ですから、舞台を上下左右そして前後方向へと最大限に活用しています。ときには観客席の間の狭い通路までも演者が全速力で走り抜けるので観客はショーの途中でちょっとやそっとでは席を立つこともできません。
舞台装置も背景にはどしゃぶりの雨を降らせ、滝は大量に流れ、噴水が勢い良く舞い上がるなどの工夫が施されています。
　そして何よりも圧巻だったはやはり燃え盛る松明を使ってのファイヤーダンスでした。その踊りのスピードやキレもさる事ながら、誰か1人が間違えたならきっとグダグダになりかねない演出を最後まで誰１人ミスする事なく見事にビタッと決めるあたりは本当にお見事でした。このように天井のある室内での舞台にも関わらず、これだけ大量の炎を扱うステージなどそうそうお目に掛かれるものではないと思います。最前列に座っていたお客さんであれば、きっと炎の温度をその顔あたりにうっすらと感じられる程の迫力だったのではないでしょうか。
　ややもするとこうした観光地での演劇ともなると昼間は学生をしている人がアルバイト感覚で身に着けた芝居や舞踏を観させられることもしばしばですが、この舞台はまるで違っていました。恐らく厳しいオーディションを経て役を射止めた演者の人たちが毎日かなり過酷な練習を積んでいるのでなければこのような完成度の高い舞台を作り上げられる筈がありません。
　最後にこの演劇で主役を演じていた若い男女がどちらも相当に魅力的だった事をお伝えしておきます。自分と一緒に観劇をしていた会社同僚の奥様も主役の青年の事を「イケメンでしかも筋肉質でもの凄くカッコいい。加えて茶目っ気もあるから可愛くって最高！」と大絶賛でした。一方、自分からするとその主人公の相手役の女性が美人でキュートな笑顔が素敵な上に、そのスタイルも抜群でスレンダーな体型でありながら出るところはしっかりと出ていて正にパーフェクトレディといった感じでした。あいにくショーの開始と同時に「写真やビデオの撮影はしないで下さい。」と館内アナウンスがあったので手元には何の映像も残ってはいないのですが、それだったらせめて会場の出口あたりで主役の男女2人のブロマイドぐらいはお土産用に販売していて欲しかったと切に思っています。（本当に悔しい！）
　とにかくホノルルにいくら輝く太陽と青い海とダイヤモンドヘッドとグルメな料理があるとはいえ、やはり基本的にはかなりの都会である事は疑いようのない事実なので、どこかでハワイの文化や伝統にもきちんと触れておかないとはるばる海外に来ている実感が薄らいでしまいます。その点、このポリネシア文化センターでのこのショーは観る人すべてを満足させるに違いありません。
　ショーの最後に演者が舞台上に勢揃いをして挨拶をしていたとき、スタンディングオベーションとまではいかないまでもその場にいたほぼ全ての観客が拍手を惜しまなかったのは間違いないと思います。自分にとっても今回のハワイ旅行の中でハワイ島でのキラウエア火山観光と並んで最も思い出深いツアーとなりました。これは絶対におススメです。ぜひご覧になってみて下さい。

It's the best!! But... 最高！！だけど。。。

Reviewed by: hana

I went skydiving for the first time in Guam and had an amazing time, so I decided to jump again on this trip. After reading various experiences, I was prepared for a long wait, so I brought a paperback book with me.

First, I was picked up at the hotel and rode the bus for about an hour to the skydiving company (it's located in the North Shore area). On the bus, I had to fill out a lot of contracts, writing my initials repeatedly, which was quite tedious (typical of the lawsuit-happy United States!). Then, we watched a video about the safety instructions for the dive.

Upon arriving at the company, everything was explained in English, including the process, and I submitted the contracts and my ID for registration. After that, the instructor briefly went over the safety instructions we had seen in the video, all in English (it was really a simple explanation).

There was only one group ahead of ours, but the weather was great on the day I participated, with almost no wind, so we were able to get ready and jump right away.

The weather was beautiful, and the sky and sea in Hawaii were incredibly clear!!! It might have been clearer than in Guam. Since we jumped around 7 AM, it was much more beautiful than during the day. The view was breathtaking!!!

However, there were two things that I found puzzling.

First, despite paying a high price, they also asked for a tip. By the way, tipping wasn't required in Guam.

Second, when diving, a photographer jumps with you. However, some instructors wear wrist cameras. If you get one of those instructors, they will take photos up close and capture everything from start to finish. If the instructor doesn't have a wrist camera, the photographer will take pictures from the outside, which means they only capture the moments when you start jumping, during free fall, and when you land. I had the outside shooting.

After the dive, you can decide whether to buy the footage. You can choose just photos, just videos, or a combo, which is flexible. What surprised me was that the wrist camera option, which definitely takes better pictures, was cheaper than the outside shots! Why??? The outside images were rough, yet they were more expensive! The price for the combo was $230!!! I was shocked. The wrist camera combo was around $170. Either way, I thought it was expensive! I bought a CDR in Guam for about 5000 yen with beautiful images.

I hesitated about whether to buy the footage, but I decided to get it as a memory... How much are they trying to charge? It's just a USB with the images on it...

The dive itself was fantastic, but everything else felt a bit off.

以前グアムで初めてスカイダイビングをして、超楽しかったので今回の旅行でも飛ぼうと決めてました。
体験談を見ていると、待ち時間が長いという内容が多かったので、文庫本も持参し、長い時間待ちを覚悟してました。
まずホテルでピックアップしてもらって、約1時間バスに揺られて催行会社に向かいます(場所的にはノースシュアの方です)。バスの中では嫌になるぐらいたくさんイニシャルを書かなくてはいけない契約書を書かされます。(さすが裁判大国アメリカ！！)
そしてダイブの時の注意事項をビデオで見せられます。
催行会社に到着すると、簡単に流れ的な事を全て英語で説明されて、バスで書いた契約書と身分証明書を提出して受付します。
その後はバスの中で見たビデオの注意事項を再度インストラクターの人が簡単に教えてくれます。これも全部英語です。(ホントに簡単な説明です)

私達のバスのグループの前に一組だけグループがいましたが、私が参加した日は、天候も良く、風もほぼなかったので、即スタンバイして飛ぶ事が出来ました。

天気も良かったので、ハワイの空と海がめちゃくちゃキレイでした！！！グアムよりキレかったかも。
そして朝7時頃に飛んだので、昼間より何倍もキレイでした。最高の景色でした！！！

しかし、私的に？？？と思った事が2つ。
1つは高いお金払ってるのに、その上にチップを請求されます。ちなみにグアムではチップは要りませんでした。
２つ目はダイブする時にカメラマンも一緒に飛びます。でもインストラクターによって、リストカメラを付けている人もいます。
その人に当たれば間近で写真を撮ってくれるし、最初から最後まで撮ってくれます。リストカメラを付けていないインストラクターだと、一緒に飛ぶカメラマンが撮ってくれますが、アウトサイドからの撮影になるので飛び始め、フリーフォールの間、着地した時だけの撮影になります。
ちなみに私はアウトサイドからの撮影でした。
ダイブが終わった後、撮影した映像を見て買うか買わないか決めれます。
写真だけでもいいし、動画だけでもいいし、コンボで買ってもいいし、これも自由に選べます。ここでびっくりしたのが、リストカメラの方が確実にキレイに撮れているのにアウトサイドからの撮影の方が高いんです！！！！何で？？？
アウトサイドからの画像は雑です。なのに高い！！
雑な画像なくせにかなりのお値段です。コンボで230ドル！！！！びっくりですよ。
リストカメラの方はコンボで170ドルだったかなぁ。どっちにしても高っ！！！！って思いました。
グアムでもCDRを買いましたがキレイな画像で5000円くらいだったと思います。
買うかどうか迷いましたが、一応思い出と言うことで買いましたが。。。。
どんだけぼったくるんでしょう？たかがUSBに画像を入れてくれるだけなのに。。。

ダイブは最高でしたが、その他諸々は？？？って感じでした。

クライムワークス・ケアナファーム　ジップライン体験（3時間）　オアフ島最長800メートルのラインでノースショアの大自然と絶景を満喫＜7本＞

Aerial walk 空中散歩

Reviewed by: TOM

I participated first thing in the morning!
I checked out using the tablet at the reception.
Including ourselves, there were three groups of nine people and three instructors.
Everything was explained in English, but they also used gestures, so it was enjoyable.
You can take photos, but the number is limited.
Also, it might be a bit pricey at $15 for one photo and $30 for three (laughs).
Purchasing is optional, so if you find something you like, definitely go for it.
The buggies along the way were thrilling and fun!

朝一で参加してきました！
受付にあるタブレットからチェックアウトします。
自分たちを含めて3組9人とインストラクターさん3人とまわりました。
すべて英語でも説明ですが、ジェスチャーも加えて説明してくれますので
楽しく行えました。
写真も撮っていただけますが、枚数は少な目です。
また1枚15ドル、3枚で30ドルとちょっとお高めかも(笑)
購入は自由なので気に入るものがありましたら是非。
途中のバギーも迫力があり楽しかったです！

ポリネシア カルチャー センター　ハワイ最大の伝統ルアウショー！ショーのみまたはビュッフェ・ディナー付きから選べるプラン＜送迎付きプランあり＞

It was good. 良かったです

Reviewed by: グッチさん

It had been a while since I visited the cultural center, and even though the language barrier was present, the stories were easy to understand. The food was just okay. It was a bit far from Waikiki, and the journey felt a little long.

久しぶりの、文化センター言葉が通じなくとも物語がわかりやすかったです。
食事はまあまあでした。ワイキキから距離があり道中がちょっと長かったです。

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Amazing experience swimming with sharks!

Reviewed by: Amy Walter

First time ever swimming with sharks and it was definitely one of the coolest experiences of my life. Naturally, I was pretty nervous but the moment I stepped on the boat and met the owner/boat captain and his two employees I was immediately put at ease. They are all local guys who are extremely knowledgeable about sharks, told us what to expect, and gave very specific instructions. The owner said he has been doing this for 30 years. Plus, they were very kind and personable which added to the experience.The safety swimmer gets in the water before you and is with you the entire time. He will hold your hand if you are nervous. Sharks are misunderstood creatures so put your preconceived notions and fears about them aside and go on this adventure! You won't regret it!

My first skydiving experience. 人生初のスカイダイビング

Reviewed by: mar

My first skydiving experience was a bit worrisome because it was raining in the morning, but by around 9 AM, the skies cleared up and I started to see blue skies. By the time I jumped, it was the best condition with a rainbow appearing. It's really wonderful to see a rainbow from above the clouds.

Meeting at 5 AM was a bit tough, but it was worth it to get up early.

When we arrived, we received an explanation, but there were no Japanese-speaking staff, so the explanation ended without much understanding. Later, I managed to find a Japanese-speaking grandfather who was with another group and asked him for a full explanation from the beginning.

Upon arrival, we were prompted to store our belongings in lockers, but since there’s no guarantee that you can jump right away, I recommend keeping your belongings with you until your name is called.

The photos were quite pricey, as everyone mentioned, but I’m glad I got them. You can choose between having a photographer jump with you or using a self-camera.

人生初のスカイダイビングは朝から雨が降ってて少し心配ですが、9時過ぎ頃には晴れて青空が見え始め私が飛ぶ頃には虹が出ているベストコンディションでした。
空の上から虹が見れるなんてとても素敵ですね。

朝5時集合で少し早起きがしんどかったけど頑張って起きただけありました。

付いて説明を受けるのですが、日本語スタッフがおらずよくわからないまま説明終了。後から別団体を連れてきた日本語をしゃべれるおじいちゃんを捕まえて一から説明をお願いしました。

付いたらロッカーに荷物を預けるように促されるのですが、すぐに飛べる保証がないので名前を呼ばれるまで荷物は各自で持っておくことをお勧めします。

写真も皆さん行っていた通りとてもいい値段でしたがつけてよかったです。写真はカメラマンをつけて一緒に飛ぶのとセルフカメラと2種類選べます

Second diving! 二回目のダイビング！

Reviewed by: tsjceo

Last time, I went diving in Guam and then in Hawaii. Due to the pickup arrangements, it took a bit too long; the pickup was at 5 AM, and we returned to the hotel around 1 PM. The diving was fun, but there was a difference in the instructors. (Well, I guess that's just human nature, haha.) I felt that the older instructor had a better sense of service. There was a Japanese-speaking driver present from start to finish, so there were no language issues.

　前回はグアムでダイビングしてのハワイのダイビング、ピックアップの関係で少々、時間かかりすぎ、朝五時ピックアップ、ホテル帰ったのが１３時頃でした。
ダイビングは楽しかったですが、インストラクターで差があり、（まあ人間なんでしょうがないですけど～　笑）少し年配のインストラクターの方がサービス精神が良かったように思えました。日本語を話せるピックアップの運転手さんが最初から最後まで居るので言葉には問題ありません。

Daughter and son 娘と息子

Reviewed by: Tokokita

On the first day, the weather was bad, and the event was canceled. I quickly requested a cancellation and a new reservation online for the day after tomorrow. Despite the sudden request, they arranged everything promptly. On the day after tomorrow, we had a refreshing clear sky. My son and daughter flew in and suddenly appeared with parachutes from a place where you couldn't see them in the sky. The 27-year-old and 24-year-old expressed their excitement like children and looked genuinely happy while talking about it. I really think it was great to have them experience it, even if it was a bit of a stretch. I absolutely recommend it (although I didn't do it myself...).

初日天候不順で催行中止になり　改めて翌々日にネットでキャンセルと新たな予約を早急に依頼し　急な依頼にも関わらず迅速に手配して頂き　翌々日は爽快な晴れた空に　息子と娘は飛行機で向かい　空を見上げても分からないところから急にパラシュートで現れ　２７歳と２４歳は子供のように感激を表し　本当に嬉しそうに話してました　「一度は経験するべきだよ」と本当に無理してやらさせてあげて良かったと思います
絶対にお勧めです（私はやってはいませんが・・・）

Breathtaking view!! 絶景！！

Reviewed by: erina

It was the best experience! Just before taking off, there was no time to be scared, we just went for it. The view was breathtaking!!

In the first half, my mouth got extremely dry from the wind, and it was tough to keep it closed. (laughs)

I don't speak much Japanese, but I managed somehow. I hired a professional photographer for the photos. Each person gets one. It was definitely worth it. I bought both the video and photos, so it was a bit pricey, but it became a lifelong memory!

最高の体験でした！
飛ぶ寸前は、怖がる間も与えられずにGOしました。絶景に感動です！！
前半は口の中が、風で猛烈に乾燥しますが、なかなか口が閉じられなくて辛かったです。笑

日本語は、ほぼ通じませんがなんとかなりました。
写真は、プロカメラマンにお願いしました。1人に1名つきます。やっぱりよかったです。動画と写真を購入したので、高くつきましたが、一生の思い出になりました！

The "non-tour" tour of north shore

Reviewed by: Renee

The best of tour plusses without the negatives. You spend most of your time at the location you choose and doing the activity you choose. Justin was very knowledgeable and personable. He let us choose our activity on site and even let people customize it by picking 2 morning activites and no afternoon ones. It was awesome.

Things you absolutely must do in Hawaii!! It's so wonderful ♡ ハワイで絶対やるべき事！！と言うくらい素敵♡

Reviewed by: ゆみぽん

It was an incredible experience, truly the best time ever! The sense of achievement and the beautiful scenery provided emotions that you can't experience in everyday life! I absolutely want to do it again!

I thought I might be nervous, but before I knew it, I was in the air... For those who have thought about trying skydiving at least once in their lifetime, I want you to experience this excitement right away!

I also signed up after reading reviews, and the reviews here are spot on! If you're hesitating, you should definitely go for it! You will be moved, without a doubt!

I believe my first skydiving experience in Hawaii was the right choice! You can see beautiful views from angles that you can't see from the ground!

Well, if I had to say one thing, when the parachute opens and you descend while enjoying the view, it can be a bit wobbly. If you tend to get motion sickness, taking motion sickness medication will ensure you enjoy it 100%! I sometimes get motion sickness, so I took the medication before jumping. Thanks to that, I enjoyed it 120%!

I will definitely do it again when I go to Hawaii next time! That's how much I recommend it!

最高すぎて、なんとも言えない最高な時間でした！
達成感といい、綺麗な景色といい、日常生活では味わえない感動！！絶対またやりたいです！！
緊張するかなと思いきや、怖いって思う間もなく空中へ…
死ぬまでに一度はスカイダイビングやってみたいな…って思ってる方は死ぬまでに…ではなく！この感動をいますぐにでも味わってもらいたいです！

私も口コミを見て申し込みましたが、ここに書いてある口コミは間違いありません！
迷ってるならやるべきです！
絶対感動します！！！！！！


私は初めてのスカイダイビングがハワイで間違いなかったと思ってます＼(^^)／
とにかく綺麗な景色が地上からは絶対見れない角度から見れます！！


ま、
一つ言うなら、パラシュートが開いて景色を見ながら下るときはグネグネします。乗り物酔いをする可能性がある方は【酔い止め薬】を飲んで挑めば100%楽しめます！
私はたまに乗り物酔いするので薬を飲んで飛びました。お陰で120%楽しめました(*^^*)

私は次回ハワイに行っても絶対やります！
そのくらいオススメです！
