North Shore
I chose this place because they offered transportation. The pickup was at 7:45, so I arrived early at 7:30. As soon as I got to the pickup location, the shuttle van arrived and said, "Hurry up and get on!" I showed my voucher just in case, but I was glad I arrived early and was able to get on!
Next, after arriving at Keana Farm, when I showed my voucher at the reception counter, I was told there was a translation fee of $30. I thought, "Is this an additional charge?" and said NO, which made the staff look troubled. It turned out there was no additional fee, and when I showed my voucher at a different counter, I was checked in smoothly. At the reception, I was told, "After checking in on the iPad, please wait in the area with benches," so I used the restroom and left my luggage at the reception to wait. I waited for almost an hour. There was a monitor in the waiting area displaying my name and time. When the time approached, I would be fitted with the equipment. Since there was no announcement from the guide, I told a nearby guide, "I think I'm next," and a lovely guide responded in Japanese, saying, "I'm in charge of the Japanese guests." It was nice to have translation included in the plan. This guide also accompanied me during the zip line, which made me feel at ease. Since I was the only Japanese person there, I felt it was a luxury.
The zip line experience was very enjoyable. I would give it four stars. Sliding through the farm felt great, and I could see the ocean, mountains, and fields; it went by in no time. Although not fluent, the explanations in Japanese were very reassuring. I think anyone with enough stamina to walk up about three flights of stairs can enjoy it fully.
Basically, everything was in English from the transportation to the equipment fitting, and after the zip line, I was left on my own. The Japanese guide appeared when it was time to put on the equipment, and while we were saying how much fun we had at the end of the tour, they disappeared before I could even give a tip.
They took photos during the zip line, which you can purchase. I decided to buy the photos and paid on the spot. I was told that I would receive the data right away, but it didn't come. I thought it would be a problem if I had given the wrong email address when I purchased them, so I sent a message through the CLIMB Works website's contact form saying, "I bought the photos, but have they been sent?" However, I received no reply. Since I can't speak English, I thought calling would be futile, so I gave up. But a few days later, I received the photos! I was relieved! Initially, I would have given it one star, but I changed it to four stars.
送迎付きだったのでここを選びました。
まずピックアップが7:45だったのですが早めに行こうと7:30に到着しました。するとピックアップ場所到着してすぐ送迎のバンが来て「急いで乗って!」と。一応バウチャーを見せましたが、早く来て良かったよ!乗れて良かったよ!思いました。
次にケアナファーム到着後、受付カウンターでバウチャーを見せたらトランスレーション$30だと言われました。追加料金?と思いNOと言ったら困った顔をされました。やはり追加料金はなかったようで別のカウンターにバウチャーを見せたらすんなり受付されました。受付で「iPadでチェックインしたらベンチのあるところで待ってて」と言われ、トイレを済ませ荷物は受付に預けて待ちました。1時間弱くらい待ちました。待ってる場所にモニターがあり自分の名前と時間が表示されています。時間が近づいたら装備をつけてもらいます。ガイドさんから声かけは無かったので「私は次だと思う」と近くにいたガイドさんに言うと、別の可愛らしいガイドさんが「日本人担当です」と日本語で声をかけてくれました。プランに翻訳が込みなんですね。このガイドさんがジップラインも一緒にまわってくれたので安心でした。日本人は私だけだったので贅沢だなと思いました。
その後のジップラインはとても楽しかったです。星も☆☆☆☆です。農園の中を滑るのはとても気持ちが良く、海も山も畑も見えて、あっという間でした。流暢ではないですが日本語で説明してくれるのはとても安心でした。階段で歩いて3階くらいまで上れる体力があれば十分楽しめると思います。
基本すべて英語で送迎〜装備装着とジップライン終了後はほったらかしです。日本語ガイドさんは装備をつけてくれる時に現れてツアーが終わって楽しかった!とか言っている間にチップを渡す間もなくいなくなっていました。
ジップライン中に写真を撮ってくれて、その写真を購入できます。
写真購入を決め、その場で支払いました。データで貰えるという事で、すぐに送ると言われたのですが、送られて来ず、購入の際に伝えたメールアドレスを間違えていたら困ると思いCLIMB Worksのホームページのお問い合わせから「写真を買ったんだけど、送ってくれましたか?」とメッセージしましたが何の返信もありませんでした。わたしは英語が話せないので電話してもきっと会話にならないと思い諦めていましたが、その数日後に写真を送ってもらえました。良かったです!はじめは☆1でしたが☆4に変えました。
It was absolutely amazing!! I was excited the whole time, both during the jump and after! It felt really good!! Thank you to the instructor and the driver who jumped with me!!! (^o^) I will definitely do it again when I go to Hawaii!!
もう最高!!でしたっ!!
飛ぶ瞬間も飛んでからもずっとワクワクしてて楽しかった!!本当に気持ちいい!!
一緒に飛んでくれたインストラクターさん、ドライバーさんありがとうございました!!!(^o^)
また絶対ハワイにいったらやります!!
Had a great time. People are warm and make it easy to enjoy the excursion. Beautiful scene. Unforgettable experience. Recommend very highly.
The pickup location was also near the hotel.
The shuttle arrived at the scheduled meeting time, allowing for a smooth transfer.
If I have the opportunity, I would like to use this service again next time.
ピックアップ場所もホテル近辺で
予定どうりの待ち合わせ時間に送迎が来てスムーズな移動ができた。
機会があれば次回も使わせていただきたいと思います。
I finally experienced ziplining!
We went by rental car without any shuttle service.
The location was easy to find. Everything on-site was in English, so there were moments of confusion (laughs), but it all worked out! The staff were bright, kind, and reliable, which made up for it! The scenery is truly amazing. There’s also a bit of an obstacle course that takes about three hours. If you're not afraid of heights, you'll be fine.
You can definitely enjoy nature to the fullest!
念願のジップライン体験してきました!
私達は送迎なしで レンタカーで行きました。
場所もわかりやすかったですよ。現地は全て英語なので なんだかさっぱり(笑)な事もありますが
なんとかなります!そしてそれをカバーするくらい
スタッフは明るく優しく頼もしい!景色も本当に最高です。3時間位でアスレチックの部分も少しあり。高所恐怖症でなければ大丈夫です。
自然を満喫できること間違いなし!です!
Great place to zip line...Staff was great. We had tour guides Sage, Danny and Asia. Awesome people and very friendly, the learned our names from just the first zip line. I wouldn't book through Veltra (sorry they were nice) however Climb Works has a greater military discount; 25% trumps 10% any day, wish I knew that. It was a great adventure overall! I would do it again.
This tour was our family favorite. The time flew by as we moved from line to line. The crew was a lot of fun and very helpful! I can't wait to go again.
It was so much fun that it felt like a moment! Before I could feel scared, I jumped, and it was exciting → so much fun!! The instructors were all really nice too. The photo fee was a bit high, but it became a great memory! I want to jump at least two more times!
楽しすぎて一瞬でした!笑
怖いと思う前に飛んじゃったので、ワクワク→楽しいー!!といった感じ(^^)
インストラクターの人たちもとてもいい人たちばかりで( ´∀`)
写真代が少し高かったけど、いい思い出になりました!
あと2回は飛びたいな!笑
I had been looking forward to experiencing this at least once in my life, and it turned out to be incredibly fun.
There is a waiting line to fly, which is determined by the order of arrival, weight balance with the instructor, and altitude. In the morning, it was cloudy, so we could only ascend to a low altitude, but during the waiting time, the sky cleared up, and we were able to rise to a higher altitude under the blue sky. It ends in the blink of an eye, so I recommend going for a higher altitude. The staff also tried their best to entertain us with their limited Japanese. I didn't mind the tipping system at all; in fact, I enjoyed it so much that I added extra to the box.
人生で一度は経験したくて、今回楽しみにしていました。結果、最高に楽しかったです。
飛ぶ順番待ちがありますが、到着順、インストラクターとの体重バランス、高度などで決められるそうです。朝は曇っていたので、低い高度までしか上がれなかったそうですが、待ち時間の間に晴れて、青空の元高い高度まで上がることが出来ました。あっと言う間に終わってしまうので、高度は高い方がおすすめです。スタッフも片言の日本語で楽しませようと頑張ってくれていました。チップも制度だと思って特に気になりませんでした。むしろ、楽しかったのでプラスして箱に入れました。
I wanted to try ziplining, so I booked a package that included transportation. The pickup time was punctual. There was one Japanese couple, and the rest were all foreigners. Although the explanations were only in English, they were easy to understand with gestures. (It might be tough if you don't understand any English at all.) The staff were cheerful and kept the energy up, so I enjoyed the tour the whole time! The first line was scary, and I had a hard time jumping off, but from the second line on, it was fun to glide, and I wasn't scared anymore. I was able to slide backward and even upside down.
ジップラインをやりたくて送迎付きを申し込みました。
ピックアップの時間も時間通りでした。
日本人カップルが一組おり、後は外国の方ばかりでした。
英語でしか説明されないのですか、身振り手振りで分かりやすく説明してもらえます。
(全く英語が分からないと大変かもしれません)
スタッフも明るく、盛り上げてくれるのでツアー中ずっと楽しめました!!
1本目は怖くてなかなか飛び降りる事が出来なかったですが、2本目からは滑る事が楽しくて怖さはありません。
後ろ向きで滑ったり、逆さに滑ったり出来るようになりました。
I participated alone. In the morning, I had a doll pineapple, and for lunch, I enjoyed a recommended shrimp plate lunch from the guide in Haleiwa. It was very delicious. The horseback riding was a lot of fun, enhanced by the beauty of Turtle Bay. The horses were well-trained, and it felt more like being carried by the horse rather than riding it. Even for first-timers, as long as you hold the reins properly, you'll be fine. The horses follow the guide's instructions, and the scenery was so beautiful that time flew by. On the way back, I observed sea turtles at the beach, which was very soothing.
一人で参加 午前中はドールパイナップル、お昼は ハレイワで ガイドさんお勧めのエビのプレートランチを食べました。とてもおいしかったです。乗馬はタートルベイの美しさと重なりとても楽しかったです。馬もちゃんと訓練されており馬に乗っているというよりも乗せてもらっているみたいな感じでした。初めての方でも たずな をしつかり持っていれば大丈夫 コースガイドさんの指示で馬は動きますので 何より景色がきれいなので テンションが上がりあっという間でした。帰りはビーチでウミガメ見学 癒されました。
This was the best zip line experience I've ever done. Each line was a blast, the crew was fun to hang out with and they gave us drinks and food from the farm we flew over. The adventure of going from station to station was also fun. As the course went on they build your confidence to try new fun ways to fly. The views are spectacular of the North Shore. This experience is well worth the drive from Waikiki.
It felt really good. That day, there wasn't any staff who understood Japanese, but I managed to get by with the atmosphere, haha. Everyone was kind and nice. Thank you, Will! ^ ^
めっちゃ気持ち良かったです。その日は日本語がわかるスタッフがいなかったのですが雰囲気でなんとかなります笑
みんな親切で優しいです。ウィルありがとう^ ^
I wanted to spend some relaxing time on the North Shore, so I joined this tour with a longer stay. The other two families besides us were planning to go horseback riding.
During the trip, they provided us with information on how to enjoy the North Shore and details about the shops, which was very helpful since we joined without any plans.

Since I was traveling alone, I participated with safety in mind. The timing was also very organized, so I could join without any worries. Along the way, I learned various interesting facts and even got to see turtles, which made me very satisfied! Haleiwa was amazing. If I had to say something negative, it would be that there wasn't enough time. Next time, I want to go to Kailua.
一人旅だったので、安全を考えて参加させていただきました。
時間もきちんとしていて、不安なく参加できました。道中、いろんな豆知識もきけたし、亀にも会えて大満足!
ハレイワ最高でした
難を言えば、時間が足りなかったかなぁ。
次回はカイルアに行きたいです
In the town of North Shore, I didn't have much time for sightseeing, but I was able to enjoy delicious garlic shrimp and Matsumoto Shave Ice, recommended by our guide. As a beginner in horseback riding, I had some anxiety, but it was fun to appreciate the beautiful seaside scenery from the unique perspective of being on a horse's back. The horse seemed to be hungry and didn't always listen to me, which made it a bit challenging, but aside from nibbling on grass, it walked along the course without me needing to pull on the reins, making horseback riding surprisingly easy. I was disappointed that I couldn't see any sea turtles from the beach, but since I had some extra time, our guide took us to a popular coffee stand where I enjoyed a tasting, which made me feel like I got a little bonus.
ノースショアの町では観光というほど時間はありませんでしたが、ガイドさんおすすめの美味しいガーリックシュリンプとマツモトシェイブアイスを食べることが出来ました。乗馬は初心者なので、不安はありましたが、海辺のきれいな景色をお馬さんの背中という普段とは違った視点から堪能できて楽しかったです。馬がおなかを空かせていたようで、言うことをなかなか聞いてくれずに苦戦しましたが、草をつまみ食いしているとき以外は、手綱を切らずともコースを外れずに歩いてくれて、意外と簡単に乗馬が出来ました。ビーチからウミガメが見れなかったのが残念でしたが、時間に余裕があったため、ガイドさんが人気のコーヒーの直売所に連れて行って下さり、試飲を楽しめたため、少し得をした気分になれました。
Skydiving was amazing and became a wonderful memory for a lifetime! People from all over the world gather to do skydiving, creating an international atmosphere in the waiting area. Unfortunately, the restroom was out of order, which made it inconvenient for the men who had to relieve themselves outdoors. Also, since you do acrobatic maneuvers during the skydiving, it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand. About 10% of the participants felt unwell.
スカイダイビングは素晴らしく、一生のいい思い出になりました!
世界中からスカイダイビングやるひとが集まってきていて、国際的な雰囲気な待合小屋でした。
残念だったのはトイレが故障中であり、男子は野外立ちションでいろいろ不便なところがあります。
また、スカイダイビング中にアクロバティックなことをやるので酔い止め薬を飲んでおいたほうがいいです。参加者のうち1割ぐらいは気分悪くなってたので。
This was my third time in Hawaii, and my first horseback riding experience! Initially, I was considering horseback riding at Kualoa, but I chose this place because I wanted to try the authentic garlic shrimp! As a result, I was thrilled to ride in the best location! The horses got distracted along the way and literally stopped to graze (~_~;), which was quite an amusing experience! Thank you to the friendly guide as well!
ハワイ3回目にして初めての乗馬❗️最初はクアロアで乗馬を考えていましたが、本場のガーリックシュリンプが食べたくてこっちにしました!結果最高のロケーションでの乗馬が出来て感激‼️お馬さん達は、途中食欲に負けて文字どうりの道草(~_~;)これも中々の面白い体験でした‼️親切なガイドさんもありがとう〜〜‼️
The tour guide was funny and very kind. You must experience sky dining while you're alive; it's a waste not to!!! The breathtaking view left me speechless, and I was just trying to imprint the scenery in my mind. The instructor, Misha, was also very kind. I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii!!!
ツアーガイドのおじいちゃんが面白くて、とても親切にしていただきました。スカイダイニングは生きているうちに体験しなければもったいない!!!!!
あまりの絶景に言葉が出ず、ただただ景色を目に焼き付けていました。インストラクターのMishaもとても親切でした。ハワイへ行ったらまた絶対に参加します!!!!!
We participated as a couple because we wanted to experience it. We were picked up early in the morning. Right away, we were asked to fill out a contract, and while there was an explanation, it was very rough and made us a bit anxious. The driving was also rough, and I felt so car sick that it was hard to read and fill out the contract, so everyone, please be careful.
As soon as we arrived, we were shown to our room, where they checked for any omissions in the contract and explained the upcoming schedule, but it was hard to understand. We were called right away, so we prepared and boarded the plane immediately. As the plane ascended, we enjoyed some amazing views that made us forget our fears. Gradually, as we gained altitude, the photographer opened the plane door, and when he gave the go-ahead, we had to brace ourselves. It was a very liberating dive, unlike a free fall! During the dive, the scenery was beautiful, and the exhilaration was incredible, but my ears hurt a lot. If you can't equalize your ears, you might not enjoy it. I had a great time descending slowly to the ground, but my wife's instructor was playful, spinning and diving sharply, which scared her a lot. She seemed to get sick afterward as well. The instructor who entertained us with the parachute was just luck. Mine was named Rick. My wife's instructor was a young jokester, but I’m sorry, I don’t remember his name.
To be honest, I feel like once in a lifetime is enough. My wife said she would never do it again (laughs).
と思い体験したいと思い夫婦で参加しました。
朝早くピックアップしてもらいました。すぐに契約書の記入を求められて説明がありましたが、とても雑な説明で少し不安になりました。また運転が荒く契約書を読み記入することも厳しいくらい車酔いしましたので、皆さん気をつけて下さい。
到着してすぐ部屋に案内されて契約書の記入漏れがないかの確認、これからのタイムスケジュールの説明がありましたが分かりづらかったです。私たちはすぐ名前が呼ばれたので準備をしてすぐ飛行機に。飛行機が高度を上げていく間は恐怖心もなくなるくら素晴らしい景色が楽しめました。徐々に高度が上がっていきカメラマンが飛行機のドアを開けたらゴーサインなので覚悟を決めてください。フリーホールとも違いすごい開放的なダイブでした!ダイビング最中、景色はとても綺麗で爽快感がすごいですが、とても耳が痛かったです。耳抜きできないと楽しめないかもしれません。私の方はゆっくり地上に降りて楽しかったですが、妻の方のインストラクターはグルグル回ったり急降下したりとおふざけがありとても怖かったそうです。降りてからも酔ってしまったようです。パラシュートで楽しませてくれるインストラクターはもう運ですね。私の方はリックという名前でした。妻の方はお調子者の若い人だったみたいで名前覚えてません、すいません。
正直な感想は人生一回でいいかなって感じです。妻は二度とやらないと言っていました(笑)
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
While we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the free fall and the scenery during the descent, we sincerely apologize that your wife, who joined you, felt scared and seemed to have gotten motion sickness, preventing her from fully enjoying the experience.
Upon confirming with the local operating company regarding the details of the descent, we learned that adjustments are made to ensure a safe return to the ground based on the situation at the time. Therefore, even if jumps are made at the same time, the descent may not be the same for everyone. Additionally, if someone experiences motion sickness during the descent, our local staff is available to provide assistance if notified at that moment. We understand that the lack of explanation may have contributed to your wife's anxiety, and we apologize for that.
We take your feedback seriously and will work with the operating company to improve our services in the future.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback during your busy schedule.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
フリーフォールや降下中の景色をお楽しみいただいたものの、ご一緒に参加されました奥様は怖い思いをされ、更には酔ってしまわれたようで、お楽しみいただくことができず申し訳ございません。
今回の内容を現地催行会社に確認させていただきましたところ、降下につきましては、その時の状況に応じて安全に地上に戻れるよう都度調整しているため、同じタイミングでジャンプされた場合でも同じように降下はしないとのことでございます。
また、降下中に酔ってしまった場合、その時、現地スタッフにお申し出いただけましたら対処法をご案内しておりますが、ご指摘されております通り説明が至らなかかったため、不安なお気持ちだったかと察します。
お客様からのお言葉を真摯に受け止め、催行会社と共に、今後さらなるサービス向上に努めてまいります。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

I participated during free time.
I was with the horseback riding group.
I also spent about 30 minutes at the Dole Plantation. It was nice that it was not crowded since it was right after opening.
After that, I had free time on the North Shore. I think the timing was just right for enjoying the garlic chicken, visiting the original Kua 'Aina, and shopping.
Later, after visiting a few beaches to see sea turtles, I rejoined the horseback riding group and headed to Waikiki.
I felt that being able to sleep in the car on the way back was something you can only do on a tour.
The guide/driver had a very calm tone, which was nice.
Since it was hard to hear the name, I thought it would have been even better if there were name tags in the car.
I would like to participate again.
フリータイムで参加しました。
乗馬の方と一緒でした。
ドールにも30分ほどよりました。開店直後なので空いていてよかったです。
その後はノースショアのフリータイム。
フリフリチキンに、クアアイナの本店、買い物など、ちょうどいい時間だったと思います。
その後、ウミガメを見にいくつかビーチをまわったあと、乗馬の方と合流で、ワイキキへ。でした。
帰りの車で眠れたのはツアーじゃないとできないと思いました。
ガイドの運転手の方もとても穏やかな口調で良かったです。
名前が聞き取りにくかったので車に名札でもあると尚良かったと思います。
また参加したいです。
I signed up for the "Free Time Plan" with my colleagues at work. I had already visited Haleiwa several times, but the tours usually only offered about an hour of free time, which didn't allow for much freedom. However, this "Free Time Plan" provides about three and a half hours of free time, allowing you to go wherever you like at your leisure.
I strolled from Macky's Shrimp Truck to Haleiwa Beach Park, taking breaks at a café, having lunch, and shopping along the way. I truly enjoyed exploring Haleiwa from one end to the other! This is a convenient and excellent plan for those who want to go wherever they please without being tied to a tour schedule.
会社の同僚と「フリータイムプラン」に申込みました。
ハレイワは既に何度か訪れている街だったのですが、フリー時間が1時間程度のツアーばかりでなかなか自由が利きません。
しかし、この「フリータイムプラン」はフリー時間が3時間半程度あり、気ままに好きな場所へ行くことが出来ます。
マッキーズのシュリンプトラックからハレイワビーチパークまで散策しましたが、途中カフェで休憩をしたり、昼食をとったり、買い物をしたりと、まさにハレイワの端から端まで堪能できました!
ツアースケジュールに縛られず、好きなところへ行きたい方には手軽で最高のプランです。
I was anxious because I couldn't communicate, but the instructor was very kind and attentive, so there were no problems at all.
Jumping from the top of the mountain was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience.
I brought my phone to take pictures, but I recommend not bringing it because if you drop it, it would be a serious issue.
言葉が通じないので不安だったがインストラクターの方はとても優しく丁寧だったのでなんの問題もなかった
山の上から飛ぶのは非常に気持ちよく楽しい体験をすることができました
写真を撮るために携帯を持って行ったのですが落としたらシャレにならないので持って行かないことをおすすめします
I'm not good with heights or roller coasters, but since it was a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, I challenged myself with my husband! I won't forget the fear before jumping from 4000m. Once I jumped, the view was breathtaking! It was absolutely amazing and not scary at all (^o^)★ The Earth is round! I will definitely do it again! It was the best!!
高い所もジェットコースターも苦手だけど新婚旅行で一生に一度だからと旦那と挑戦!4000mから飛ぶ前のあの怖さ忘れません。笑 飛んだら絶景!とにかく絶景で全然怖くなく最高でした (^o^)★地球は丸かった!また絶対やります!最高!!
Shopping and lunch in the North were great, and afterwards, I went horseback riding by the beach, which was incredibly relaxing. The horses were smart and cute, and the scenery was amazing—I was very satisfied! ♡
ノースでの買い物やランチも出来てその後は海辺の乗馬ですごく癒されました。馬もお利口で可愛いし、景色は最高で大満足でした♡
I wrote the waiver in the car on the way there and watched a DVD with explanations. The DVD was in English, but the subtitles were only in Korean and Chinese, so it would have been nice to have Japanese subtitles as well.
When we arrived, it was raining, so we waited for about two hours before we could finally take off. I was nervous during the flight to the point in the Cessna, but once we jumped, I felt no fear, and the parachute opened in no time.
We floated for about five minutes while enjoying the breathtaking views of the North Shore before landing!
Lastly, I think it's a good idea to prepare about $20 in tips for the instructor who jumped with us. I didn't request a camera this time, but I would like to ask for one if I have the chance again.
現地に向かう車の中で誓約書を書き、説明のDVDを見ました。DVDが英語で字幕がハングルと中国語しかなかったので、日本語の字幕もあるといいなという感じでした。
着いた時に雨が降っていた為、約2時間程待ってやっと飛べました。セスナ機でポイントまで向かう間はドキドキでしたが、飛び出してからは恐さはなくあっという間にパラシュートが開きました。
ノースショアの絶景を楽しみながら約5分ほど浮遊して着地しました‼
最後に、一緒に飛んでくれたインストラクターのBOXにチップを20ドル程入れるので前もって準備していた方がいいと思います。
今回、カメラは頼みませんでしたがまた機会があったらお願いしたいと思います。
When it was our turn, unfortunately, clouds rolled in, so we couldn't reach 4260 meters, but they properly refunded us even though we didn't know how high we had gone. I think the company itself is a good one, and I had a valuable experience, so I'm very satisfied. Many people in our group didn't take photos, but I think it's better to request them. By the way, I'm not good with thrill rides. Those are scarier for me (laughs).
私達の番になった時には運悪く雲が出てきてしまったため、4260mまで行く事は出来ませんでしたが、どの高度まで上がっているのかわからないのにきちんと返金してくれました。
会社自体も良い会社だと思いますし、貴重な体験が出来、大変満足しています。同じグループになった方たちは写真を撮られない方が多かったのですが写真も頼んだ方が良いと思いますよ。
ちなみに私は絶叫マシーンは苦手です。そちらの方が怖いです(笑)
■Pickup
Around 5 AM, a pickup arrived at the hotel, and I was handed some documents. I read through the text in the car and signed a waiver, but be careful of motion sickness as the roads are bumpy.
In the car, a video in Japanese plays explaining that they can't take responsibility if you die while skydiving, and that the parachute may not open.
■Arrival at the Airport - Check-in
Upon arriving at the airport, I was taken to a room with small benches where I received a completely English explanation... What a surprise, it wasn't in Japanese!!!!
After most of the explanation was done, I was called up and asked questions like, "Are you just going to jump? Do you want a photographer?" While waiting in line, some people were directed to the Japanese class, while others, despite showing their Japanese passports, were not taken to the Japanese class.
I wasn't taken either, even though it said there would be a Japanese briefing... (I really wanted the explanation in Japanese...)
■Check-in Notes
The voucher was taken by the driver, but I was asked for the voucher again, and since the driver went missing, it would be better to prepare two vouchers or have the email ready to show immediately.
(I was checking the altitude on my email screen.)
■Waiting Time
They called out names for those who were ready, but it was raining from the morning. I waited for about 6 hours (or more?) until the clouds cleared after 1 PM.
(At first, they said we would wait until 11 AM, but I think we waited because some people were able to jump when it cleared up. There was nothing around, and I was really bored, so I recommend bringing something to pass the time!)
So, I was told to quickly put my belongings in a locker, but it’s safer not to store them right away, especially your phone. Lockers cost 25 cents for four. You can also exchange bills.
■Skydiving
It was amazing until the parachute opened. The feeling of the air as you jump is incredible. It’s a sensation I’ve never experienced before, with the wind blowing against my body. It was super fun.
After the parachute opened, the instructor was quite the character; even though he told me to spin, he kept saying, "Haha! I got it, I got it," while spinning around, and even though he said to go slowly, he was descending quickly, saying, "Haha! I got it, I got it." It wasn’t a joke; it genuinely made me feel nauseous. I thought I might throw up. I wanted to enjoy the scenery more slowly... but I think he meant well. It wasn’t necessary, though.
I could see the altimeter in the plane, and honestly thought, "Wait, we're jumping from here?" I wish they had told me earlier if we couldn't go higher. I had to rebook for the next day.
It was amazing until the parachute opened, so that’s what I regret the most.
*I took a one-day type of motion sickness medication, but because the waiting time was so long, I didn’t feel any effect by the time I jumped. I got really nauseous. I think it depends on the instructor.
I believe you need motion sickness medication for the car ride in the morning, so I recommend taking something that works quickly just before jumping!
■Tips
There are boxes for tips for each staff member, and you can put them in after the jump. You don’t have to worry about how to give them.
■Image and Video Check
Since I had a photographer, I was told to check the images and videos. Until my footage played, I just stared at videos of strangers. The data is purchased on a USB, so I recommend bringing it back as carry-on luggage.
■Return to the Hotel
It seems the car left right after I finished jumping, so I was left behind, and I ended up returning around 5 PM. The others who came with me had jumped much earlier. The order here is a mystery. Is it by application order?
On the day of skydiving, it might be better to think of it as lucky if you can return early.
■Impressions
Overall, I’m glad I did it! However, I’m really disappointed that the weather didn’t coopera
■迎え
朝の五時くらいにホテルに迎えが来て、書類を渡されます。車の中で文章を読み、誓約書に署名をするのですが、悪路が多いので車酔い注意です。
車の中では、スカイダイビングで死んでも責任取れないよ。パラシュートは開かないことがあるよという日本語の説明のビデオが流れてます。
■飛行場到着〜受付
飛行場に到着すると小さめのベンチが並ぶ部屋に連れて行かれ、完全英語の説明を受けました。。。なんてこった日本語じゃない!!!!
あらかた説明が終わると前に呼ばれ、「飛ぶだけ?カメラマンつける?」みたいな質問されます。並んでる最中に、日本語のクラスはあっちよみたいな感じで指示される人もいれば、
日本のパスポート出してるのに、日本語クラスに連れて行ってもらえない人もいました。
連れて行ってもらえませんでした。日本語講習って書いてあったのに。。。(日本語で説明受けたかったです。。)
■受付補足
バウチャーは運転手さんに持って行かれたのですが、ここでもバウチャー出してって言われた上、運転手さんが行方不明になっていたので、バウチャー2枚用意して行くか、メールの文面はすぐ出せるようにしておいた方が良いです。
(メール画面で高度確認してました。)
■待ち時間
用意のできた人から名前を呼ばれるんですが、行った日は朝から雨。雲が晴れる1時過ぎまで約6時間(それ以上?)ただひたすら待ちました。
(最初は待つのは11時までと言っていたんですが、たまに晴れて飛べる人たちが居たので待ったのかと。周りに何もなく、本気で暇なので、時間つぶし持って行った方が良いと思います!)
なので、荷物はロッカーにとっととしまえみたいに言われるんですが、すぐしまわない方が無難です。特に携帯。ロッカーは25セント4枚。紙幣も両替できます。
■スカイダイビング
パラシュートが開くまでは最高でした。飛び降りる瞬間の空気がうわーってなる感じ。あれはすごい。全身の脂肪が風にふかれて味わったことのない感覚。超楽しかったです。
パラシュート開いた後からはインストラクターがどエスだったので、回んなって言ってるのに「はっはっは!分かった分かった」って言いながらグルグル回るし、ゆっくりって言ってるのに「はっはっは!分かった分かった」って早く降りるし、フリじゃねーよ、本気で気持ち悪いよ。色んなもの吐くよって思いました。もっとゆっくり景色を楽しみたかった。。。いや親切心だったんだと思います。いらなかったけど。
飛行機の中で高度計見れるんですが、え、ここで飛ぶの?と正直思いました。上がれないなら先に言って欲しかった。次の日に予約し直したのに。
パラシュートが開くまでは最高だったので、本当それだけは無念です。
※私は1日タイプの酔い止めを飲んだのですが、待ち時間が非常に長かったためか、飛ぶ頃には全然効果を感じられませんでした。激酔いました。ここはインストラクター運あると思います。
酔い止めは朝の車用にも必要だと思うので、数時間タイプで、飛ぶ直前に速攻効くものを飲む事をお勧めします!
■チップ
チップはそれぞれ担当さんのボックスがあって、終わった後入れられるようになっています。渡し方とか考えなくて平気です。
■画像と映像のチェック。
カメラマンを入れたので、画像と映像チェックしてねと言われました。とりあえず自分のが流れるまでただひたすら知らない人の映像を眺めます。データはUSB購入なので、帰りは手荷物で持って帰る事を勧めます。
■ホテルに帰還
飛び終わってすぐ車が出てしまったようで、置いて行かれたので、戻れたのは結局17時頃でした。他に一緒に来た人たちはかなり先の方に飛んでました。ここの順番謎。申し込み順?
スカイダイビングする日は、早く帰れたらラッキーくらいの感覚でいた方が良いかもしれません。
■感想
全体的にやってよかった!と思うものの、天気に恵まれなかったのと最高高度までいけなかったのがすごい無念です。カメラマンさんは迷ってるならいれることを勧めます。簡単に出来る事じゃないし、やっぱり帰ってきてゆっくり確認してるとジワジワ飛んだ実感がわきます。
ちなみに私が訪問した時は、ベルトラさんで予約するより、直接オフィシャルのWEBサイトで予約する方が安かったです(ドル換算ですが)。
なぜこちらにしたかというと、高度に「絶対保証」と書かれていたためです。
最高高度まで行けなかったら説明がある、もしくは全額返金いただけるものと思っていました。上の説明にはそう書いてあるので。
(※実際は差額の返金で、そのことは下方の注意書きに書かれていました。)
I thought skydiving was so dangerous activity but when i had seen the guide jumper, all of my worries was gone. So It was very comfortable and exiting, joyful, happy and so on....As i was fallen down from the plane all of my stresses flied out of mind either.The rainbow in the air was very awsome, fantastic and really looks like Howaii.I want to try to with my lovely relatives and friends. thank you.
Our guide, Kai, was absolutely amazing! While we weren't able to make it to the swimming hole due to massive amounts of rain making it unsafe at the water crossings, he took us on an additional hiking section where we got to see various parts of the trail. The lunch provided was hand-made and was delicious... wish I knew how to make those rolls! I would more than recommend this excursion with Kai... he gets more than 5 stars!
