To provide some reference for others, here are the reasons I chose Pacific Skydiving for my experience. The decision was made because they had specific days available that matched my travel dates. There was no shuttle service, so I had to rent a car to get there. It took about an hour using the highway, and while the area around Waikiki can be quite congested, it clears up after a while. (Be cautious of speed traps along the way; Google shows marked enforcement points.)
After about an hour, I could see the airport, and if I turned onto the road before it, I found Pacific Skydiving and another company's location.
1. At the check-in counter, I stated my reservation name and completed the registration.
2. I took the waiver I received at check-in to a room for a safety briefing.
3. I was given an English waiver to fill out, but it was quite lengthy and might be difficult unless you're fluent in English. When I said I didn't understand, they provided me with a Japanese sample; however, I was advised not to fill it out as it would be used later.
4. After watching a safety video, my registration was complete. I was then told to wait in the waiting area. (This part took a while; I waited about an hour. If it’s busy, it might take longer. The order is determined by the sequence of check-ins rather than the reservation time.)
5. While waiting, an announcement was made, and it was finally time to gear up. When called, I went to the counter to receive a sticker with my name on it. I placed the sticker on my body and waited for the instructor to come and attach the harness. Since I didn't choose the camera or video option, I waited until the instructor arrived. Those who opted for the camera had a photographer take various commemorative photos and videos before the jump.
6. Finally, it was showtime. When the plane arrived, the instructor called out, "Alright, let's go!" and we headed over together.
7. Now, it was time to board the Cessna. (I was getting nervous.) This time, there were six tandem jumpers plus the photographer. There were two rows of benches, and since it was a tandem dive, the instructor sat first, and we all got ready in front of them. We took off.
8. Once we reached altitude, there was no turning back. I felt the urge to jump and went with the instructor. This was the scariest part.
9. Once we jumped, it was over in an instant. I believe this experience is something you can't find anywhere else. It was amazing!! By the way, my son, who jumped with me, said it was the best, but he tends to get motion sickness, so he seemed to struggle a bit. I usually handle motion sickness well, but I couldn't shake off the floating sensation afterward. It’s advisable to be cautious when driving the rental car.
I’ve shared my experience, and I highly recommend it; it was fantastic! Just remember, everything is at your own risk. Oh, and the optional costs are around $100.

今回、利用したパシフィックスカイダイビング様に決めました理由を。
その理由は、曜日が限定していること、滞在日に合致してることで決定しました。
送迎はありませんでした、自身でレンタカーを借りて行くしかないです。
行くまでは高速を使って約1時間、ワイキキ周辺は結構混みますが途中から空いてきます。
(途中スピード違反取り締まりに注意、Googleで調べると取り締まりポイントのマークあり)
約1時間を過ぎると飛行場が見えてくるので手前の道路を曲がるとパシフィックスカイダイビング様と、別会社様の場所があります。
①チェックインカウンターで予約した氏名を告げ受付します。
②受付で貰った誓約書を持ち安全説明のある部屋へ行きます。
③誓約書(英語)を渡され記入するように渡されますが、誓約書自体量が多く英語が堪能でない限り難しいと思います。
私は分からないと言ったら、日本語のサンプルを渡されました、しかし、これは今後も使うので記入しないようにと念を押されました。
④安全ビデオを見て本受付完了です。
その後、待合室で待っててくれと伝えられます。
(ここが長いです、小一時間待ちます。混んでいれば更に掛かると思います。予約の時間より受け付けた順番で順番が決まります。)
⑤待合室で待っていると放送が入り、いよいよ装備装着します。
呼ばれたらカウンターで名前の書いたシールを貰いに行きます。
シールを身体に貼り待っていると、インストラクターが来てハーネスを取り付けてくれます。
今回、私はカメラ、ビデオのオプションはつけませんでしたので、インストラクターが来るまで待ちぼうけ。
オプションを選んだ方はカメラマンが飛ぶ前から記念に色々な演出の写真ビデオを撮ってくれます。
⑥いよいよ、本番。
飛行機が来る時間になるとインストラクターから、よし行くぞ‼︎みたいに声をかけられて一緒に向かいます。
⑦さぁ、セスナへ搭乗です。(ドキドキしてきました)
今回は6タンデム+カメラマン。
長椅子が2列あり、タンデムダイブなのでインストラクターが先に座り、その前に座り各々準備完了。
飛び立ちします。
⑧高度に到着したら、もう飛ぶしかないです。
行くしかない感じてインストラクターと飛びます。
ここが1番怖かった。
⑨飛んだら、もう一瞬です。
この体感は他では味合えないと思います。
最高ですね‼️
因みに一緒に飛んだ息子は最高と言いながら乗り物酔いに弱いのでヤバかったみたいです。
私も、乗り物酔いには強いのですが後々フワフワ感が消えませんでした。
レンタカーの運転は気をつけた方が良いでしょう。
以上、体験談を書きましたが最高ですのでお勧めしますね、是非。
ただ、何もかも自己責任です。
あ、後オプション費用ですが100$前後です。

The Dole Plantation, which we stopped by along the way, was surprisingly enjoyable. I had a delicious pineapple soft serve and added to my collection of unique penny stamps.
The horseback riding at Makakeha Beach offers beautiful scenery, and the horses are well-trained, making it a safe and enjoyable experience even for beginners. There is a brief explanation of basic reins handling at the start, but generally, the horses follow the one in front automatically, so there's no need to worry.
途中に立ち寄るDolePlantationが意外と楽しめます。おいしいパインソフトを食べ、ここでしかないペニースタンプのコレクションが増えました。
MakakehaBeachの乗馬はとても景色がよく、馬もよく馴致されており初心者でも安心して楽しめると思います。最初に簡単な手綱さばき説明がありますが、基本お馬さんたちはオートマで前の馬についていくので心配しないでください。

I usually don't write reviews, but I decided to do so because the tour guide left a very good impression on me. The guide was Japanese and shared various information about Hawaii during the bus rides to and from the destination.
Additionally, while reading other reviews, I noticed that some mentioned a very tight schedule where they only went horseback riding and couldn't explore Haleiwa. However, it seems that this has improved, as we had time to spend in Haleiwa. After enjoying coffee in Haleiwa, we went horseback riding, took about 30 minutes to eat garlic shrimp, and then relaxed at the Dole Plantation before returning to Waikiki. The horseback riding along the beach was leisurely for about an hour, and it was a wonderful experience.
I was also happy that the guide took photos for us and was very proactive.
普段口コミを書かないんですが、ツアーガイドさんがとても好印象だったので書くことにしました。
日本人?の方で、行きも帰りも移動中のバスの中でハワイのことを色々と話して下さってました。
また、他の方の口コミを見るとあまりにもタイトスケジュールで乗馬だけしてハレイワは散策出来ないとありましたが、改善されたのかハレイワで過ごす時間もありました。
ハレイワで珈琲飲んだ後に乗馬して、ガーリックシュリンプを30分くらいかけて食べ、ドールプランテーションでゆっくり過ごしワイキキへ戻りました。乗馬も海辺を1時間くらいゆっくり乗馬して
とても素敵な時間でした。
ガイドさんが、写真撮ってくれたり率先してくれたので嬉しかったです。

My fourth-grade daughter had some horseback riding experience in Japan, but her parents had almost none, yet we felt comfortable participating. Since we met at the location, we rented a car through an app and headed there. It took just over an hour to arrive from our hotel in Waikiki. Our group consisted of a total of eight people, with only our family of three being Japanese. The rest were Europeans and Asians. My wife speaks English, but my daughter and I only know a little. Still, we managed just fine. It was amazing to be able to ride horses along the white sandy beach. There was a height restriction for horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, so my daughter couldn't participate there, but this tour was fine for ages six and up, so there was no problem. There was also a polo practice area, and it was fun to watch the polo practice.
小学四年生の娘は日本で何度か乗馬経験がありましたが、両親はほぼ乗馬経験なし、それでも安心して参加できました。現地集合のため、アプリでカーシェアリングの車を借り、現地へ。ワイキキ のホテルから1時間強くらいで到着しました。我々が参加した組は合計8名で日本人は我々家族三人のみ。あとは、欧米人とアジア系の方々。家内は英語を喋りますが私と娘は片言。それでもなんとかなりました。白い砂浜を馬に乗って散歩できるなんて最高でした。クアロアランチへの乗馬は身長制限があり、娘が参加できませんでしたが、こちらのツアーは確か6歳以上だったので問題ありませんでした。ポロの練習場が併設されていて、ポロの練習も見られて楽しかったです。

I participated in a tour with seven zip lines. There were seven lines ranging from shorter ones to the longest one on Oahu, and there were activities other than zip lining along the way, so I never got bored. Both adults and children can enjoy it thoroughly.
Along the way, there was cold water provided in disposable paper cups, which was very appreciated. The scenery was also wonderful, and I definitely want to participate again.
ジップライン7本のツアーに参加しました。短めのものからオアフ島最長のものまで7本で、途中にジップライン以外のアクティビティもあって飽きることがありませんでした。大人も子供も十分に楽しめます。
途中に冷たいお水が使い捨ての紙カップと一緒に置いてあり、これがとってもありがたかったです。景色も素晴らしく、また是非参加したいです。

I was worried about participating since I couldn't speak any English, but the explanations were clear and easy to understand thanks to the use of gestures, allowing for a smooth experience.
Traveling by bus would have taken quite a long time, so we took an Uber from Matsumoto Shave Ice on the North Shore.
The horseback riding lasted about an hour and a half, and there were two local guides for our group of two. They took nearly 50 photos and shared all of them with us for free via AirDrop.
Even as first-time riders, the horses followed the path perfectly. The scenery was beautiful, and it was truly amazing.
全く英語が出来ず心配で参加しましたが、ジェスチャーを交えてわかりやすく説明してくれたため、スムーズに体験することができました。
移動はバスだと時間がかなりかかるため、ノースショアのマツモトシェイブアイスから、Uberで行きました。
乗馬の時間は1時間30分程で、2組に2人の現地のガイドが付いてくれました。写真も50枚近く撮ってくれて、エアドロップで無料で全てくれました。
乗馬初体験の私たちでも、道順通りに馬が乗せてってくれました。景色も良くて本当に最高でした。

I was picked up in Waikiki, and the driver explained the history while we first went to the Dole Plantation! We stayed there for about 30 minutes, including a bathroom break, and then headed to the town of Haleiwa!
The location was absolutely amazing! I felt reassured because the horseback riding instructions were provided in Japanese on the bus beforehand.
Once we arrived, the staff were very attentive, checking in on us and asking if we were okay, which made them friendly and approachable.
I've had a few horseback riding experiences before, but if I come back to Hawaii, I would definitely want to book here again!

During the drive, I found it fascinating to hear about the origins of Hawaii and current stories from the guide in Japanese. The Dole Plantation was also a perfect spot for a restroom break and souvenir shopping. The main horseback riding was guided by a kind elderly couple who owned the ranch, and it was enjoyable to ride through the forest course. Having only six people in the group made it relaxing and fun. It was my first time horseback riding, but it felt similar to walking a dog, and I was able to control the horse well. In Haleiwa, I tried the garlic shrimp that the guide recommended, and it was the best I've ever had. On the way back, I fell asleep and we quickly arrived in Waikiki. I'm glad I experienced this tour.
ドライブ中はガイドさんから、日本語でハワイの起源とか現在の話が聞けて興味深かった。
また、ドールプランテーションも丁度良いトイレ休憩とお土産購入になった。
メインの乗馬も牧場主の優しい老夫婦の案内で林間コースを回った。
人数が6人と少なかったのが良かったのか、のんびりして楽しかった。
乗馬は初めてだったが、犬の散歩と似ていてコントロールでき、良い子だった。
ハレイワでは、ガイドさんが教えてくれたガーリックシュリンプを食べたが、今までで一番美味しかった。
帰りは、寝てあっという間にワイキキに着いた。
