Can't say enough about how awesome this was! Wish I could do it every day. Was quite nervous at first but once you get in the water it is so calming to just watch the sharks in their world. The Island View guys were great, gave us all the info we needed before getting in and answered all of our questions.
My only advice for the company is to give a bit more instruction on finding you at the harbor - all we really had was the name of the boat (which is outdated) and we can't exactly walk the whole place reading boat names. We found them eventually and all was well.
If you have the time, this is absolutely a must-do in Oahu. You won't regret it.

Although we arrived at the site early to do paper work and all, the office staff were rude. When I asked a question I was given a short snappy reply with th a quick closure of the sliding window on my face. No further questions could be asked afterwards. At the end during payment transaction for pictures and videos, they had no record of prior payment for the jumps I made and double charged me. They needed to take the time to answer questions at the beginning or explain the process for charges, or at least take the time to go over the charges as they asked for payments. When I tried to explain that I was being double charged, they got irritated that I didn't let them know at the beginning. They are running a high risk business, therefore they need to demonstrate complete confidence and accuracy to customers in all aspects of the business from the beginning to the end.

This is my husband's fourth time in Hawaii, and since he has never seen a dance at this cultural center, I recommended it as someone who has seen it several times. I have taken hula and Tahitian dance lessons and have practiced with the dancers here, so I have seen their practice sessions. Being professionals, their practice was quite thorough. I think the dancers have a high level of awareness.
The dance has a storyline, and my husband really enjoyed it. I'm glad I recommended it! If you haven't been to the Polynesian Cultural Center, I definitely encourage you to go at least once.
As for the buffet, the variety of dishes was surprisingly limited and incomplete. However, there were plenty of crabs, so it might be good for crab lovers.
今回ハワイが4回目になる主人は、このカルチャーセンターでのダンスを観たことがないので、何回か観たことのある私がおすすめしました。フラとタヒチアンダンスを習っている私は、ここのダンサーと一緒にレッスンしたこともあり、練習風景を見たことがあります。プロなだけあって、練習もしっかりしたものでした。ダンサーの意識が高いと思います。
ダンスはストーリー性になっていて、主人もすごく楽しんでいました。おすすめした甲斐がありました(^^)v。
ハワイと言えば、ポリネシアン文化センターだと思いますので、行ったことのない方は、一度是非行ってみてください。
ビュッフェは、料理の品数が意外に少なく不完全でした。カニがたくさんあったので、カニ好きにはいいかもしれません。

My brother and I have long been shark fans. As a keen diver I've seen the occasional reef shark but wanted to see something bigger. We went out on the boat (limited to 6 of us) and after a short ride arrived at the site where we spent probably half an hour by the boat (holding onto the lines) then free swimming and diving with Galapagos and Sandbar sharks (around 40 at one point but always at least 15 around us at varying depths). There were multiple times when we could have touched one with a flipper they were that close but we didn't feel threatened at all (although i would be lying if I said we weren't a bit scared). There was only one shark that bared his teeth to us which was amazing to view and again not threatening. The staff made us feel very safe and are very passionate about the sharks. I've dived around the world but never come across an opportunity to swim with this many large sharks in the wild. I cannot recommend this enough. #HelpSaveSharks

Originally, I hoped to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center from the afternoon to the evening, but it was fully booked. I ended up joining the morning tour, and I was very satisfied!
The bus guide's stories about Hawaii were enjoyable, and when it was time to say goodbye, I genuinely felt that I wanted to come back.
In the afternoon at the Polynesian Cultural Center, I had lunch and explored each village. On the flight there, I watched "Moana" and realized that they really lived a similar lifestyle, which made me feel the resilience of humanity.
The show of climbing the palm trees was breathtaking! I was amazed by the incredible speed and height!
This is a recommended spot to visit when you come to Hawaii!

Since it was our honeymoon, I wanted to do something unforgettable, so I decided to participate. Right after signing up, I was anxious and worried about accidents and various things, but now I realize those worries were completely unnecessary. It was truly exhilarating, and you can enjoy views that can only be experienced through skydiving! My husband, who dove with me, and I are happy to share that emotional experience together for years to come. If anyone is hesitating, I definitely recommend participating!
ハネムーンだったので何か一生忘れられないことがやりたいと思い参加することを決めました。申し込んだ直後は事故とか色々考え不安になっていましたが、今となっては全くそんな心配いらなかったなとおもいます。本当に気持ちよくて、スカイダイビングでしか味わえない景色を堪能できます!また一緒にダイブした夫とこれからずっとあの感動体験を共有できるのが嬉しいねと話しています。迷っている方がいたらぜひ参加することをオススメします!

I had always wanted to try it, but since I have a fear of heights, I hesitated until now. However, I made a big decision and participated. I thought I would be more nervous and my heart would race, but it wasn't as intense as I expected when I started my first dive. The free fall from 4,267 meters at a speed of 200 km/h lasted about a minute, and it can be summed up in one word: "fun." It felt so enjoyable that I thought it was too short. The thrill was addictive, and I definitely want to participate again. The views and the excitement were amazing! If you're hesitating, you should definitely join in!
以前からやってみたいとは思いつつ、高い所が苦手で高所恐怖症気味の私なので
今まで躊躇していましたが、一大決心のうえ参加。
もっとドキドキ、心臓バクバクかと思いきや、然程でもなく初ダイブスタート。
4267メートルから時速200kmでの約1分間のフリーフォールは、実際やってみれば
「楽しい」の一言に尽きました。楽し過ぎて短過ぎると感じたくらいです。
病みつきになる楽しさ、是非また参加したいと思います。
景色もスリルも最高!! 迷ってるなら参加すべし!! ですね。

This time, my 11-year-old son and husband participated. Neither of them speaks English, but they decided to join based on some reviews that said you could manage with just the atmosphere (laughs). Fortunately, they were in a group with a Japanese person who could speak English, so they were able to enjoy themselves without any worries!
My son, being lighter, couldn't make it to the end and had to turn back a few times, and he also struggled to climb the rope all the way to the top due to lack of stamina. However, it seems that the staff helped him each time, and he was able to enjoy it until the end.
When I asked what was the most fun part of the trip, he said it was the zip line! He really enjoyed it. He said he wants to do it again when we go to Hawaii!

My daughter said she wanted to ride a horse, so I did some research and found good reviews about this place, so I made a reservation. On the day of our visit, we arrived in about an hour by rental car. Our family of four started on time. We rode along the coast and into the woods. There were moments when the horses stopped to eat grass, but generally, they followed the horse in front of them. We returned to the coast, where we took many photos. We rode for just over an hour. All the staff were cool women. Our guide was Jessie. As soon as we finished, she took two horses to practice polo. Tips were separate, so I had prepared some, but she left quickly, and when I asked another staff member to give it to her, they called her back. It’s a bit challenging to get there without a car, but it’s a wonderful place! I definitely want to go again and ride a horse! On the way back, we even saw a beautiful rainbow, making it an unforgettable day! 😊
娘が馬に乗りたいと言うので調べたところ、こちらの評判が良かったので申し込みました。
当日はレンタカーで1時間程で着きました。
家族4人で時間通りにスタートしました。海岸を通り林の中へ。途中馬たちが草を食べ出し止まってしまうこともありましたが、基本的には前の馬に付いて歩いてくれます。また海岸に戻り、そこで写真を何枚も撮って頂きました。
1時間強は乗っていました。スタッフは皆格好いい女性です。私たちの担当はジェシーさん。私たちが終わるとすぐに、2頭の馬を連れ、ポロの練習に行かれました。チップは別途となっていたので、用意していたのですが、すぐに行かれてしまい、他のスタッフに「渡して下さい」と言うと、呼び戻してくれました。
車がないと行かれないので、ちょっと大変ですが、素晴らしいところです‼是非また行って、馬に乗りたいです❗

I definitely recommend the 4260m jump for those who will participate in the future. I even bought the video!
