North Shore
The moment I dove into the sky, trusting the instructor, was the best. All the instructors were professional, allowing me to feel safe and secure. If you come to Hawaii, it's definitely worth the challenge.
インストラクターに身を任せ大空へダイブした瞬間は最高でした。インストラクターの方は皆プロ意識があり安心して身をまかせることができました。ハワイに来たら、チャレンジすべき価値がありますね。
I was filled with fear and anxiety before participating, but once I joined, the beautiful sea below was stunning and I had a great time!
Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day and we didn't reach the highest altitude, but it was still more than enough.
Depending on the weather, it might be canceled, so if possible, I recommend participating in the morning when the air is clearer!
参加するまでは恐怖と緊張で後悔してたんですが、いざ参加してみたら、眼下に広がる海も綺麗でとっても楽しかったです!
あいにくの曇り空で最高高度ではなかったですが、それでも充分でした☆
天候によっては中止になったりもあるよーなので、可能ならより空気の澄んでる午前に参加することをおすすめします!
I went skydiving for the first time in Hawaii! Since it was 4,200 meters, the free fall lasted about a minute and was incredibly fun! I couldn't hear my own voice even when I screamed. You can jump in a T-shirt and shorts.
After opening the parachute, there were occasional jokes from the instructor, and be careful because looking down can make you feel a bit nauseous.
I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sky and scenery of Hawaii!
ハワイで初めてスカイダイビングしました!
4200mだったので、フリーフォールが約1分間で非常に楽しかったです!
叫んでも自分の声が聞こえません。
Tシャツ短パンでも飛べます。
パラシュートを開いてからの空中遊泳は、インストラクターのおふざけがたまにあり、下を見ていると気持ち悪くなるので注意してください。
ハワイの綺麗な空と景色を存分に楽しめました!
It was my first time skydiving, but I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The complimentary Wifi Free was very nice.
初めてのスカイダイビングでしたが、安心して楽しむことが出来ました。
無料特典のWifiFreeはとてもうれしい。
Literally one of the best experiences I have ever had. It was my first time and I would 100 times over!
The tour itself isn't cheap, and if you buy memory with photos and videos and pay tips, it will cost nearly 50,000 yen in total. However, considering what you gain, 50,000 yen is a good deal. I definitely recommend purchasing the photos and videos.
ツアー自体も安くないですし、写真やビデオの入ったメモリーを買ったり、チップを支払うとトータル50000円近くかかります。ただし得られるものを考えると50000円は安いです。写真やビデオは必ず買うことをおすすめします。
Four of us men went skydiving for the first time! And we were all in our mid-40s, so it was quite a challenge. I was really scared when I saw my friend dive and fall at an incredible speed, but once I jumped, it turned out to be surprisingly okay. While I was in the air, my mind went completely blank, but when my feet touched the ground, I felt a sense of relief, and we all had smiles on our faces♪ It truly became a precious experience.
Also, I forgot my watch in the locker, and when I contacted them just to give it a try, they actually searched for it and delivered it to my hotel later. I also received email support from VELTRA, which was really helpful. I thought it would be impossible to get back something I lost while traveling abroad, but this time I was lucky.
Thanks to that, my travel memories are all good ones. Thank you very much♪
男4人で初めてのスカイダイビング!しかも40代半ばのオッサンばかりでチャレンジしました。最初にダイブした友人の落ちる速度が すごく早くてビビりましたが、いざ飛んでみたら意外に大丈夫でした。飛んでいる最中は 頭が真っ白でしたが、地面に足が着くと安堵感と共に、みんな笑顔♪ほんとに貴重な体験になりました。
そして、ロッカーに忘れた腕時計、ダメ元で連絡したところ、ちゃんと探してくださり後日ホテルまで届けてくれました。VELTRAさんにもメールで対応してもらい、本当に助かりました。滞在中に無くした物が戻ってくるなんて、海外では絶対無理だと思っていましたが 今回はラッキーでした。
おかげで旅の思い出は良い思い出ばかりです。ありがとうございました♪
I participated in a North Shore horseback riding tour. We had about an hour's stay in Haleiwa, including lunchtime, so we couldn't take our time. The horseback riding experience seems to differ from the Japanese style. You ride a horse that matches your body type. The ride takes place near the beach. Since there is a compatibility between the horse and the rider, at first, the horse may be a bit excited and not used to the rider, but as it gets accustomed, it becomes easier to handle. It's good to communicate with the horse by talking to it. Each horse has its own personality; the horse I rode tended to walk on flat paths and strayed from the line in front, but I thought that was just its personality. The supporter leads the way, and we follow at that pace. There was another group with a foreigner who seemed to have an animal allergy and ended up with a swollen face after riding. Those with animal allergies should be cautious. You can't bring too much luggage while riding. You can't take photos with a DSLR camera while riding because the shutter sound can stress the horse. However, it's possible with a smartphone or compact camera, as long as it's small enough to fit in one hand and can be stored in a chest pocket. Since you'll be focusing on riding, you'll likely be able to take photos only after getting used to it. It’s difficult to take still images as they tend to blur.
ノースショアと乗馬ツアーに参加しました。
ハレイワには、1時間程度の滞在です。ランチ時間込みなので、ゆっくりはできません。
乗馬体験は、日本式とは乗馬の仕方が違うようです。
馬のチョイスは、その方の体型に合わせた馬に乗ります。
浜辺近くを乗馬します。馬との相性がありますので、最初は馬も乗る人に慣れなくて、、興奮気味ですが、次第に慣れてくると扱いやすくなります。
馬に声をかけながら、コミュニケーションを取るなどいいでしょう。
馬も其々個性があり、私が乗った馬は、平坦な道を歩こうとするので、前の列からはみ出し歩いていましたが、この馬の個性なんだな、、と思いました。
サポーターの方を先頭に歩きますし、そのペースに後ろからついて行く感じです。
他のグループですが、白人の外国人ですが、動物アレルギーをお持ちの方が乗馬をして、顔が腫れてしまったようです。
動物アレルギーの方は、注意した方がいいかもしれません。
手荷物は、多くを持っての乗馬はできません。
一眼レフカメラ等は乗馬しながらの撮影は出来ません。カメラのシャッター音が馬にストレスを与えるからだそうです。スマホ、コンデジカメラなら可能ですが、乗馬をしながらですから、片手で収まり、胸ポケに入る大きさなら大丈夫です。
乗馬に集中するので、写真が撮れるのはかなり乗馬に慣れてきてから、となりそうです。
ブレますので、静止画は撮れにくいです。
I love horse trekking and participated in this tour. Riding a horse and feeling the great outdoors was healing. The guide was the worst. Even though all the customers were from Japan, the tour started with criticism of Prime Minister Abe. He even told the customers to act like fools. I guess he meant to say let's loosen up and have fun, but as a person from Kansai, I somewhat understand the nuance. However, there are likely many people who feel uncomfortable with the word "fool." His language was also crude, and I wouldn't want to join a tour with this guide.
ホーストレッキングが好きでこのツアーに参加しました
馬に乗って大自然を感じ癒されました
ガイドが最低最悪
全員日本から来たお客さんなのに日本の安部首相の批難から始まったツアー
お客さんにアホになれとも言ってました
要はハメを外して楽しみましょうって事なんでしょうが
私は関西人なのでなんとなくニュアンスは分かるのですが、アホと言う言葉に拒否感を感じる人も少なくないはず
言葉遣いも汚いし、この人のガイドならツアーに参加したくないです
Absolutely amazing!!
There are so many views that you can only see by skydiving, and you get a sensation like nothing you've ever felt before.
The person who dove with me was incredibly cool! They really tried to ease my nerves by talking to me a lot, and we had a fun conversation; they were very kind. I regretted not being able to speak more English during my week in Hawaii...
If I ever come back to Hawaii, I definitely want to do it again, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Hawaii.
とにかく最高!!
スカイダイビングしないと見れない景色がいっぱいですし、今までに感じた事ないような感覚が得られます。
一緒にダイブしてくれる人もめちゃくちゃカッコ良い!緊張をほぐそうとしてくれてるのか、すごく話しかけてくれて楽しく会話してくれて、優しい方でした。もっと英語が話せたらと、1週間のハワイで一番後悔しました、、
もしまたハワイに来る事があれば、絶対にやりたいですし、これからハワイ旅行を控えている人がいれば絶対オススメしたいです。
We celebrated our June birthdays with a glorious 1 hr trail ride at your ranch on Tues June 6. The wranglers starting with Tate and the other girls were professional, extremely nice and treated us all like royalty! Our horses were gentle and extremely professional as well. The sights were magnificent and we would highly recommend the Gunstock Ranch to any tourists and locales visiting the North Shore!
We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your ride. We also think Tate is pretty great! Mahalo for your review and we hope to see you again soon!
I participated with my parents. I've been to the North Shore many times, but this was my first time horseback riding there! It was fun to see the ocean while riding. My parents enjoyed it too. However, there was absolutely no service, like taking photos for us, and in the end, we had to ask for a picture, but there was no communication at all, so we weren't even sure if it was taken or not... (laughs) I thought they could be a bit friendlier. (laughs) It had been a while since I visited Haleiwa, and I was surprised at how much it had changed. (laughs) Overall, the tour was very good!
両親と参加しました。
ノースは何度も行ってますが、ノースでの乗馬は初めて!
海を見ながら、楽しかったです。両親も楽しんでました。
ただ、写真を撮ってくれたりなどサービスが全くなく、最後にお願いして撮ってもらいましたが、声かけもなにもなく、撮れているんだかないんだかで。。(苦笑)もう少し愛想よくすればいいのに・・と思いました。(笑)
久々のハレイワ、あまりに変わっててびっくりしました。(笑)
ツアー的には、とてもよかったです!
On May 31, 2017, my husband and I participated! Recently, ziplining has become popular in Japan, and we were very interested. At that time, I happened to find this perfect site while browsing and immediately made a reservation!
On the day of the event, they picked us up at a nearby hotel, and we headed to Keana Farm with the other participants! Besides us, all four other couples were from English-speaking countries, and our driver couldn't speak Japanese, which made us a bit anxious. However, there was an instructor on-site who was fluent in Japanese, which put us at ease.
We put on our gear and got started! I thought the first line would be a bit scary, but it turned out to be an amazing thrill! While moving around the farm in a buggy, the instructor was kind, fun, and safety-conscious, and before we knew it, our enjoyable time had flown by. I felt like Spider-Man amidst the magnificent nature of Hawaii.
2017/5/31に、夫婦で参加いたしました!日本でも、最近はジップラインができてきて
興味深々でした。そんな時に、丁度サイトを見ていたら絶好なの見付け即、予約!
当日、近くのホテルまで迎えにきて頂き、他の参加者といざ、ケアナファームへ!
私達、夫婦以外は4組全員英語圏の方でドライバーさんも、日本語は出来ずちょい不安でしたが
現地の、インストラクターに日本語が堪能な方がいて、安心しました。
装備を付け、いざ開始!1本目は、ちょいと怖いかと思いましたがイヤイヤ最高な爽快感!
ファームの中を、バギーで移動しながらインストラクターの方が親切に、楽しく安全に、
配慮しながら進み、あっと言うまに楽しい時間が過ぎました。ハワイの壮大な自然の中を、
スパイダーマンになった気分でした。
The weather in Hawaii is unpredictable. Just when I thought it was going to rain, it cleared up and a rainbow appeared. The dive from 4,000 feet was thrilling, and the beautiful views of Hawaii's sky, mountains, and ocean were truly amazing! Also, the instructors were handsome (there are various types, but they were great)! I think those who are prone to motion sickness or on windy days should take precautions.
ハワイの天気は変わりやすい。雨だと思ったら晴れて虹がでた。上空4000からのダイブはスリル満点でハワイの美しい空と山と海の景色は本当に素晴らしい!そして、インストラクターがイケメン(色々な方がいますが)で素敵でした!風が強い日や酔いやすい方は対策が必要だと思います。
Emily was an excellent tour guide! Me and my 2 adult sons went on this activity and had a great time. We would definitely do it again. Thank you Emily for being an awesome tour guide.
Aloha!
Thank you so much for choosing Gunstock Ranch. We are so glad you enjoyed Emily on your ride, we think she is excellent too! We hope you had a great birthday and hope to see you again.
Mahalo,
Gunstock Ranch
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.
Warm Aloha,
Thank you very much for taking the time to post about your experience. We welcome all feedback, overjoyed and unfavorable, this is the best way for us to improve our services as well as the activities offered on our website!
We have forwarded your feedback to the management of Pacific Skydiving Center and they will take the appropriate measures to assure these types of situations do not happen again.
We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you on your vacation.
Mahalo Nui Loa,

Pilot was awesome.answered my many questions. Scenery was gorgeous
Wicked cool Will be doing it again.The insteuctors were awesome.
It was an early morning gathering, but skydiving cleared my sleepiness. The weather was perfect with clear skies, and although I was nervous since it was my first time, it became a fun memory.
早朝早い時間の集合でしたが、スカイダイビングして眠気もすっきりしました。
天気も快晴で申し分のないコンディションでした。
初めてで緊張しましたが楽しい思い出になりました。
The weather was great, the scenery was amazing, especially the beautiful sea. The horses were very well trained, and I had a lot of fun. I would like to use this service again.
天気もとってもよくて、景色は最高だし<特に海がきれい>馬もとてもしつけされていて大変楽しめました。また利用したいです。
This was an amazing experience. The staff was so helpful and entertaining. We heard a lot of historic info about the farm and its operatiion along the way. The equipment , platforms, rope bridges, and rapeling lines were awesome. The views were absolutely breathtaking! It was one of my favorite activities I did while on the island!
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 usually ride in British style, but this time I went for a Western style trail ride. Surprisingly, it was easy and enjoyable, making it suitable for beginners as well. The magnificent scenery from the hill along the way is beyond words. I was satisfied to experience the great nature of Hawaii.
いつもは、ブリティッシュスタイルで乗馬をしてますが、今回は、ウエスタンスタイルでの外乗でした。
案外、簡単で楽しく初めての方でも楽しめる内容です。
途中の丘から観てる壮大な景観は言葉にできないくらい最高です。
ハワイの大自然に触れることが出来て満足でした。
The local staff's response was good. They also introduced a great place for lunch with delicious garlic shrimp. I would like to mention that the response from the VELTRA staff was not very satisfactory, and it was quite difficult until my reservation was confirmed.
現地の担当スタッフの対応が良かったです。
昼食も美味しいガーリックシュンリンプのお店を紹介してくれました。
VELTRAのスタッフの人の対応がいまいちで、予約が確定するまで大変だったことを申し添えます。
Ask for Warren! He's the man. Great teacher and very entertaining.
It's often said that this is something you should do at least once in your life, and that was absolutely true. We participated as a group of seven, and we were all able to fly on the same plane. The instructors and staff were all cheerful and fun, making for a really enjoyable time. We also requested a camera and video, which I highly recommend as they make for great keepsakes.
人生に1度はやっておいた方がいい事によく挙げられていますが、その通りでした。
7人の大人数で参加しましたが、1つの飛行機で出来ました。
インストラクターもスタッフもみんな明るく楽しくとても楽しい時間でした。
カメラ、ビデオもお願いしてこれも本当にいい記念になるのでオススメです。
My 1st time and it would be hard to beat anywhere else. Jeremy was great so was Butters my daughter's instructor. They were so fun and excellent instructors. We both celebrated our birthdays so that was definitely worth the money and have great memories for it. The only thing that I think should be emphasized is to not leave with out ID. Maybe a sign or reminder from the instructors??
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。
I'm glad I was able to go skydiving in Hawaii, something I've always wanted to do. The views while flying were breathtaking (^_^) There are staff members who understand Japanese, so you can enjoy yourself with peace of mind. I highly recommend it!
ずっとしてみたかったスカイダイビングをハワイでできてよかった。
飛んでいる間の景色も絶景でした(^_^)
日本語のわかるスタッフがいるので安心して遊べます。オススメです!
Great staff, Everything was wonderful. Would definitely recommend.
