North Shore
This was my second time in Hawaii, and my first time skydiving. Unfortunately, the weather was not great due to clouds at that time. After five minutes, if there wasn't even a little bit of sunshine, it seemed like we would have to cancel for the day, but then a small break in the clouds appeared.
Seizing the moment, I boarded the Cessna. Although we didn't reach the highest altitude, I was able to dive safely into the sky. It truly became the best experience of my life.
Thank you to the staff who worked hard to give us the opportunity to fly without giving up until the end, and thank you for the weather in the North!
Hawaiiは二度目で スカイダイビングは初めてだったのですが、当時は雲があっての生憎の天候 …>_<
後、5分経って少しでも晴れ間が出なければ今日は キャンセルみたいな状況だったんですが そこに少しの晴れ間が.…
ここぞとばかりに セスナに乗込み最高到達点まで上がらなかったけど 無事に空にダイブ出来ました (^-^)/
人生の中で、本当に最高の経験になりました 。
最後まで 諦めずに飛ぶ機会に努力してくれたスタッフさん、 ノースの天気に
ありがとう ♪
My first skydiving!
It was the most exciting part of our honeymoon.
The instructor and driver were great, but we were about an hour late for the dive. I want to do it again! 4000m.
初スカイダイビング!
ハネムーン一番位に楽しみでした。
インストラクター ドライバーも良かったですがダイビング時間より1時間位遅くはなりましたが またしたいです!4000m
I had some anxiety about driving a rental car, so I joined this tour. On the day of the tour, there were 11 participants. I was a bit concerned about the old shuttle van and the unusable seat belts, but the explanations from our experienced Japanese guide were knowledgeable and diverse, making the journey feel like an enriching study session. The stop at the Dole Plantation, where we saw the "This is a tree" tree, was only about 20 minutes, so I recommend a different schedule for those who want to stay longer, but we didn't feel it was particularly short.
As we headed north along the North Shore, the guide explained the coastal scenery, and we split into two groups for free time in Haleiwa and horseback riding (the horseback riding group also had about 50 minutes of free time). We were taken to Macky's for garlic shrimp and were shown the main shops, making the short time quite fulfilling.
I was very anxious as a beginner with little explanation or guidance during the beach horseback riding, but there were seven of us in a line and another instructor accompanying us, who helped calm the horses and taught us how to hold the reins, allowing me to enjoy the ride. The beautiful scenery along the beach was breathtaking! It was about a 45-minute ride, but it was an unforgettable experience.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see any turtles on the sandy beach, but our persistent guide took us to a spot where we could see swimming turtles, using what seemed to be a local information network. I am grateful for that.
We returned to Honolulu before 4 PM, so we were able to go out afterward and had a meaningful day. It may indeed be a busy schedule, but I think this tour is packed with the joys of the North Shore and is enjoyable for everyone. I sincerely thank our guide, Syozou.
レンタカーの運転に不安があり、このツアーに参加しました。
当日ツアーに参加したのは11名、送迎のバンが古くてシートベルトが使えないなどは気になりましたが、ベテランの日本人ガイドさんの解説が博識で多岐にわたり、道中まるで勉強会のように充実していました。「この木なんの木」とドールプランテーションはほんの20分くらいの立ち寄りなので、長居したい方は違うスケジュールのプランをお勧めしますが、我々は特に短いとも感じませんでした。
ノースショアも海岸沿いを説明しながら北上し、ハレイワで自由行動と乗馬の二手に分かれ、(乗馬組も50分位自由時間あり)わざわざガーリックシュリンプのMackysさんに連れて行ってもらったり、主要なお店を教えてもらったりしたので短時間でもかなり充実していました。
海辺の乗馬、説明や注意が少なくて初心者の私はとても不安でしたが、7人の隊列の前後ともう一人付添いのインストラクターがいて、道草する馬をなだめたり引き綱をおしえてもらったりで楽しく乗馬できました。ゆっくりと歩く海辺の景色の美しいこと!45分位の乗馬でしたが忘れられない経験でした。
残念ながら砂浜でカメを見ることはできず、諦めないガイドさんが地元の情報網を駆使していそうな浜辺に立ち寄ってくれて泳いでいるカメを見ることができました。感謝。
ホノルルには午後4時前に戻ってきたのでその後も出かけることができ、一日を有意義に過ごすことができました。確かに忙しいスケジュールかも知れませんが、ノースショアの楽しみが凝縮された、だれでも十分に楽しめる充実のツアーだと思います。ガイドのsyozouさん?に心から感謝します。
This was our family's first time visiting oahu and the ocean front horse back ride was by far our most favorite and memorable experience. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable and the horses are very well cared for (my horse Ike is a retired polo pony). We even had the pleasure of a hawaiian pig named 'wilma' that thinks she's a horse escort our ride. We went on the sunset tour and the landscape is unlike anywhere I have ever seen, so peaceful and breathtaking. Would highly recommend this activity to other families, friends and couples!
From the start til the end, it was a non-stop adventure. 3 guides were with us, and we all had a blast! The ATV ride around the farm to get to the platform was fun and educational. They showed us different tropical plants like guava, mango, papaya, banana and so much more. The zipline and the view was just spectacular. I could do it again and again. They even had a rope climbing machine, and my arm is still sore from it! Overall, this was excellent and worth every penny. If you go to the North Shore, you need to put it in your bucket list. Highly recommended!
My sister and I have some experince riding horses and were very excited after booking this excursion. When we arrived, it was clear that the horses were well taken care of. The guides, Sarah and Gina, were amazing!! They were very alert and attentive to those who had never ridden before, were informative about the island, answered all of our questions and they were sure to get us to the sunset view in time. Safety was a first priority and Sarah and Gina were very aware of taking great pictures of all of us. The only suggestion I have is that booking this excursion requires a car. We took the bus to the last stop on the route then had to walk three miles to the polo club which was fine on the way in but we had to hitch a ride on the way back because it was after dark and we were not comfortable walking back to the bus stop.
Thank you for your kind feedback! We are delighted to hear that had a great experience. Apologies for having to take the bus...we are in the country and there's not much public transportation by us. We usually recommend renting a car and making a day of it on the north shore. Just glad you made it back safe.
All the best,
Amanda
The only scary moment was the jump itself, but everything else was amazing. It seems we didn't reach an altitude of 4200, so we received a refund. I would love to try it again if I go back.
怖かったのは飛び出す瞬間だけであとは最高でした。高度が4200到達しなかったらしく返金もありました。もし次に行っても挑戦したいです。
Our guides were great, they were Sarah and a lovely red head from CO, I don't remember her name.
I have always wanted to ride a horse on, on, a beach, not near one, not within view of, on a beach. Splashing in the water. This ride was not on a beach and should not be advertised as such.
Aloha Meris,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your experience with us. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your tour guides and our apologies you were so disappointed about not being able to go in the water with your horse. It is illegal in the state of Hawaii to take livestock of any kind in the ocean so we go as close as we legally can to the water. I can assure you that we do take the horses on the sand /beach so you were not mislead.
All the best,
Amanda
Our guide was Greg. He was so sweet and genuine. As we trailed he would give us some history on the names of the cities surrounding the ranch, the different boarding houses for the various horses on the land and we saw roaming cattle and goats. A few roosters and chicken also. The girls really enjoyed themselves on the trail being surrounded by nature here. As we rode uphill and finally reached our camp, you smelled the campfire and saw a breath taking view of the ocean. The sight is amazing! The meal was strip steak, tempura shrimp, rice and mac salad. It was so delicious! And you roasted your own marshmallows for s'mores! As we rode down toward the valley, again you could see the elevation and beautiful land surrounding this huge ranch. This was our second sunset ride@ Gunstock and we will be returning again.
Thank you so much for taking time to review us! We are always happy to hear customers feedback. Hope to see you again. Gunstock Ranch
I had a wonderful time at the spacious ranch in the North, swaying gently on horseback in the pleasant breeze! The blue sky, white clouds, green grass, deep green forests, blue ocean, and the dazzling sunlight created a vivid landscape that not only left a lasting impression but also provided an incredible sense of freedom, refreshing my spirit.
Although the staff spoke only English, they were friendly and spoke slowly and kindly to us, even though we are not very proficient in English. Wrapped in a warm atmosphere, I had a very enjoyable and relaxing time, so I highly recommend it! 😊
ノースの広~い牧場、心地良い風に吹かれて、のんびりと馬の背に揺られてきました!!
空の青色、白い雲、牧草のみどり色、森の深緑色、海の水色、眩しい太陽の日差し、鮮やかな景色が目に焼きつくだけでなく、抜群の解放感で精神的にリフレッシュでき、ホント良かったです。
言葉は英語のみですが、あまり英語が得意でない日本人の私達にフレンドリー且つ、ゆっくり優しく話してくれ、スタッフの方はアットホームで親切でした。
ほんわかオーラに包まれ、非常に楽しくリラックスした時間を過ごせますので、ぜひお勧めです。^^
I went with a mixed group of about ten people, mostly Japanese, and there were some Koreans as well. The driver was an elderly man in his 70s. He didn’t seem like a bad person, but on the bus, he made us pass around a community newspaper where he had posted about his skydiving experience. He talked about his upbringing, spiritual matters, and global warming, and honestly, I couldn't understand what he was saying at all. That kind of talk was unnecessary.
When we arrived, everyone else took the training and boarded the Cessna, and they kept descending one after another. However, for some reason, we (I didn’t jump, but my companions did) were forgotten, and even though we arrived at 9 AM, the Cessna didn’t take off until after 11 AM. (Everyone else had finished by before 10 AM.)
As other participants finished their jumps and more people arrived, I started to think we were being forgotten. I occasionally asked the elderly driver, “Are we still waiting?” but he would say things like, “It’s just the order” or “It seems it will take a while,” and we were left waiting. The driver could have asked the staff for us, but he didn’t do that for quite some time. After about an hour and a half, he finally went to ask, and we were told, “It seems the paperwork was sent to the wrong place.” In short, we had been forgotten. I should have just gone to the reception myself to ask.
While we were waiting in a daze, there was a loud “bang!” followed by staff shouting “Oh No!” and “Emergency!” Then we saw someone collapse in the grass, and an ambulance arrived. It was shocking. In the end, it turned out that the parachute didn’t open in the air, but the person had failed the landing and fell a bit. However, I don’t know the details, and it was really scary. The person didn’t move for about 30 minutes, and the staff were all in a flurry. Ultimately, the person who fell didn’t go in the ambulance but left in a private car driven by their companion, so it seemed they weren’t seriously injured. But seeing something like that before jumping was terrifying, not enjoyable.
The driver was a bit off. We were made to wait a long time on-site, witnessed an accident, and then waited even longer because of that. Finally, we were able to jump, but the weather wasn’t great, and although I hoped for the maximum altitude, they lowered it (which is understandable). The only good memory was up in the sky.
Also, because there were many clouds, we were refunded $30 for having to lower the altitude, but it was a system where you had to go to the reception to request the refund yourself, which was another point of dissatisfaction. It’s strange that they wouldn’t refund unless you asked. The office was small, and there weren’t even ten customers, so they should have been able to keep track.
After waiting for such a long time, I went to the reception to file a complaint on the way back, but as expected, it was different from Japan. They really didn’t apologize! They made excuses about the paperwork being delayed, the documents going to the wrong place, the weather, and so on. I was frustrated that I couldn’t express even half of what I wanted to say because I don’t speak much English. It was all excuses. The driver insisted that he submitted the paperwork, but the reception made a mistake, and the reception said it wasn’t their fault.
Finally, when we were returning to Waikiki, the driver said, “There were various troubles today, so we were a bit late. Sorry about that.” Everyone in the tour group fell silent at that comment. The way he said it… Then afterwards, he called what seemed to be headquarters on his cellphone and reported, “Everything went smoothly,” which irritated me even more.
The driver’s incomprehensible talk, the wait time after everyone else finished their jumps, the accident, the refund system that required you to report it yourself, and their lack of apology.
I was exhausted.
When I went skydiving in Guam, the support from start to finish was fa
10名ほどの混載で行きました。だいたい日本人、あと韓国人もいたかな。
ドライバーさんは、御年70過ぎのおじいさんでした。悪い人ではないんだろうけど、バスの中では、自分がスカイダイビングをして載った(自身で投稿?)地域のコミュニティー新聞みたいなやつを回覧させられ、生い立ちからスピリチュアル?みたいな宇宙の話、地球温暖化の話、等と正直何言ってるのか全くわかりませんでした。あの話はいらないです。
そして到着し、他のみなさんは講習を受けてはセスナに乗り込み、どんどん降下してこられていました。しかし、私たちは(私は飛ばなかったので同行者が)なぜか忘れられ、9時に到着したのに、セスナ出発は11時過ぎになりました。(他の人たちは10時前には全て終えていた。)
他の参加者が飛び終え、後から来た人もどんどん飛び終え、これは忘れられているのでは?と思い、時々、ドライバーのおじいさんに、「まだですか?」と聞いていましたが「順番だから」「まだかかるみたい」などと言って待たされ、ドライバーさんも、受付の人に聞きに行ってくれれば良いのに、それもなかなかせず。1時間半ほど経ったころにようやく聞きに行ってくれ、「書類が違うところに回されていたみたい」とか言われました。要は忘れられていたと。やっぱり黙っててはダメですね。こんなことなら自分で受付に聞きに行けば良かったです。
そうこうしてボーっと待っているところに、「ドン!」という音とともに、スタッフ達の「Oh No!」や「Emergency!」とかいう声。そして草むらに倒れる人。そしてやってきた救急車。ビックリしました。結局は上空からパラシュートが開かずに落ちたのではなく、最後の着地に失敗し、ちょっと落ちた?みたいなことだったようです。でも詳しくわからないし、本当に怖かったです。30分くらいは倒れた状態から動かなかったし、スタッフもザワザワしていたし。結局、落ちた人は救急車に乗らず、その人の同行者が運転する自家用車で帰って行ったので、それほどの怪我ではなかったようです。でも、そんなんを見てから飛ぶなんて楽しみではなく恐怖ですよね。
ドライバーさんがちょっとアレな人。現地ではさんざん待たされ、そして事故を目の当たりにし、それによって更に待たされ、ようやく飛べたものの、天候はあまりよくないとのことで、最高高度を希望していましたが高度を下げられ(これは仕方がないことです)良い思い出は空の上だけです。
あと、雲が多いということで、高度を下げることになったから30ドル返金してもらったのですが、それも、自分で受付に言いに行かないと返金しないシステムだったので、そこも不満です。言いに行かなければ返金しないなんておかしいですよね。現地は小さな事務所で、お客さんも10人もいないくらいで把握しきれないわけでもないのに。
そしてそんなこんなで、あまりにも長時間待たされたので帰り際に受付に苦情を言いに行きましたが、さすが日本とは違いますね。本当に謝らない!書類が届くのが遅かったとか、書類が手違いで違うところに行っていたとか、天候がー、とかとか。あんまり英語も話せないので、言いたいことの半分も言えなかったのがくやしいです。言い訳ばっかりでした。自分は悪くないと。ドライバーさんは、自分は書類を提出したが受付が間違ったと言い張るし、受付は自分のせいじゃないと言うし。
そしてようやくワイキキに戻る時、ドライバーさんが言った「今日はいろんなトラブルがあったからね、ちょっと遅くなったけどねー。ハイすみませんでした。」という言葉に、もうツアー参加者全員沈黙でしたね。その言い方。。。
そしてその後、携帯電話で本部みたいなところに電話し、「問題なく終わりましたー。」という脳天気な報告にもイラッとしました。
ドライバーさんの意味不明な話。他の人たちは飛び終えてからの待ち時間、私たちは飛ぶ前の待ち時間。事故。申告しないと返金しないシステム。そして謝らない姿勢。
疲れました。
グアムでスカイダイブしたときは講習からすべてに至るまで素晴らしいサポートだったのになぁ。。
I wanted to take my time sightseeing in the North, but I ended up getting garlic shrimp as a souvenir and eating it by the sea. I was looking forward to things like Matsumoto Shave Ice, and I had made a list to enjoy... but I was disappointed. Horseback riding was fun!
ノースな、ゆっくり観光したいのに、ガーリックシュリンプをお土産にして、海で食べました。まつもとシェイブアイスとか、楽しみにして、リストアップして楽しんでに…ガッカリ
乗馬は楽しかったです!
I have hiked many of the popular attractions here on Oahu like Diamond Head, Manoa Falls, and Koko Head, but they have nothing as elegant as what the Huakai Iki hike has. We booked our tour, and was informed that the check in location is at the Aloha General Store. We were greeted by our wonderful guides Keola and Holly. We started venturing off on the private roads owned by Kamehameha Schools, Bishop Estate. We had excellent views of the agricultural land, the coastline of Haleiwa, the mountain ranges of both the Ko'olaus and Waianae! We had learned so much Hawaiian historical facts, such as endemic versus native species of plants and animals, special trees and plants such as the Koa tree, ohia lehua, and the strawberry guava tree. Keola and Holly are excellent guides! The one thing that I highly valued is that you can ask them anything! They will tell you if they know about it, and if they don't they will either call you or email me and give you the answer! Many other tour guides on other hikes, tend to come up with excuses, or falsified facts. But not Keola or Holly. We had great views of the swimming pools (water ponds), nice high clouds, and wonderful native plants. This is the best hiking tour that I have been on by far. I will definitely go out with north Shore Eco Tours again, for their Huakai Nui Hike! Mahalo Keola & Holly!
I learned a lot about the history of the North Shore on this tour and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Our guides Keola and Holly were knowledgeable in Hawaiian history and culture. They have exclusive access to this trail and I highly recommend going on this tour as you will not get the chance to see the North Shore like this with anyone else. It was a real treat for me. I appreciated that Keola asked for permission to enter the hiking trail in a traditional way.The hike itself was wonderful. We saw a lovely lehua blossom on the trail! The area is home to a number of rare native trees that I will leave to you to figure the name of. This hike is not for people who are out of shape. You will get a workout on the hike! If you appreciate learning about Hawaiian culture with legitimate information shared, the natural beauty of the North Shore, and to spend a day of your vacation in nature, this hike is for you. Way better than a luau!
Since experiencing horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, I haven't been able to forget the joy of riding, so I participated in this horseback riding session. Although I was a bit anxious about this being my second time and a long ride, the result was... it was incredibly fun!!!
The horses are very well-trained and respond well. However, I think it has to be in English... (or is that just my imagination?). With just a few commands like "stop," "slowly," and "go," along with some control of the reins, they respond remarkably well. I felt that just controlling the reins alone wasn't very effective, but when I added verbal cues, they responded perfectly.
The horseback riding was so enjoyable that time flew by. I definitely want to participate again.
For North Shore tours, since there isn't much time available for riding, I highly recommend this for those who want to focus on horseback riding! That's why I give it a perfect score!!
クアロア牧場で乗馬を経験して以降、乗馬の楽しさが忘れられず、こちらの
乗馬に参加しました。2度目の乗馬で長時間の乗馬なので不安はありましたが、
結果としては・・・最高に楽しかった!!!
馬が非常に優秀で言うことを聞いてくれます。ただし英語でないとダメと
思いますが・・・。(気のせい?)
ストップ、スロウリー、ゴー、こんな単語と手綱の少しのコントロールで
非常に言うことをきいてくれます。
手綱のコントロールだけだとあまり効果が無い気がしたのですが、一緒に
声を掛けてあげるとピタッと言うことを聞きます。
乗馬は楽し過ぎてあっという間に時間は過ぎてしまいました。
また参加したいと思います。
ノース観光は乗馬する場合は、あまり時間が取れないので、乗馬中心に
考える方は非常にお勧めです!だから私は満点!!
Although we got caught in traffic along the way, thanks to our guide's quick thinking, we took a detour and avoided a bad situation. On top of that, we were able to enjoy some great sightseeing on an unexpected route.
途中、渋滞に巻き込まれたが、ガイドさんの機転で回り道をしてひどいことは回避された。その上、予定外のコースを通っていい観光ができた。
I think it's rare to have a horseback riding experience in such a natural setting. The paths are not overly maintained, which adds a casual and enjoyable feel. The guide provides attentive service in Japanese as you travel from the hotel to each point. There may be variations depending on traffic conditions and whether you encounter sea turtles, but it's best to participate with a relaxed mindset, keeping those factors in mind.
こんな自然の中で乗馬体験はなかなかできないと思います。整備されすぎていない道に日常的な感じがあって楽しいです。
ホテルから各ポイントまでは、ガイドさんが日本語で丁寧に対応してくれます。
交通状態よる時間的余裕の有無、海亀と遭遇できるかなど日によって左右される部分もあると思いますが、それらを了承した上で気持ちにゆとりをもって参加されるのがベストです。
I've always dreamed of horseback riding, and I'm so glad I got to experience it for the first time! Since the duration was long, I was a bit anxious at first, but the person who took us was very knowledgeable about Hawaii, and I had such a fun time that it flew by! I want to go again!
ずっと乗馬に憧れていて、初体験できてよかったです!!所要時間が長かったので、最初は少し不安でしたが、連れてってくださった方がすごくハワイに詳しく楽しい時間を過ごせてあっという間でした!またいきたいです!!
I was able to fully enjoy places other than Waikiki. The horseback riding in the canyon is something that is hard to experience in Japan, so the kids were very satisfied. It was great that even my 9-year-old son, who is small for his age, could participate.
ワイキキ以外を、満喫できました。渓谷の乗馬は、日本でわなかなか体験することが出来ないので、子供たちが満足していました。9歳の小さな体型の息子でも参加出来て、良かったです。
We used this for our honeymoon trip!
In the morning, we were picked up at the hotel and first went to the "What Tree Is That?"! We took some photos and spent about 15 minutes there, which was just right!
After that, we headed to the Dole Plantation! Since it’s a souvenir shop, we had a nice break for the restroom!
After leaving Dole, we had some free time in the town of Haleiwa! We bought coffee, ate some garlic chicken, and also had Matsumoto Shave Ice!
Just when we were satisfied, we headed for horseback riding! It was my first experience, but the horses were cute, and we could ride leisurely through the valley! I was glad to take photos with my own camera!
After that, we went to Iri Beach and encountered a honu basking in the sun!
It was a very good tour! Next time, I want to try horseback riding in the ocean too (≧∇≦)!
P.S. Our guide, Mr. Sakai, was also a nice person!
新婚旅行で利用しました!
朝、
ホテルでピックアップしてもらい、まずはこの木なんの木へ!写真を撮ってこの木なんの木を見学して滞在時間は15分くらいでしたが、ちょうどよかったです!
その後、
ドールプランテーションへ!お土産もの屋さんなのでトイレ休憩がゆっくり出来ました!
ドールを出て、ハレイワの街でしばしの自由時間!
珈琲を買ったりフリフリチキンを食べたり、
松本シェーブアイスも食べました!
ちょうど満足した時間帯に、乗馬に向かいました!初体験でしたが、馬もかわいいしゆったりと渓谷の中を乗馬出来ました!しっかり自分のカメラで写真も撮ってもらえて良かったです!
その後は、アイリービーチに行き、甲羅干ししているホヌに遭遇!
とても良いツアーでした!次回は海の乗馬にもチャレンジしたいです(≧∇≦)
追伸 ガイドのさかいさんも良い方でした!
It was my first time, but I enjoyed it! The garlic shrimp I had on the North Shore was delicious! The guide's driving was a bit too fast and it was a little scary.
初めてだったけど楽しめました!
ノースショアで食べたガーリックシュリンプが美味しかったです!
ガイドさんの運転が速すぎて少し怖かったです。
I chose this tour because I wanted to go horseback riding by the beach and explore the town of North Shore, but based on my experiences with various other tours in Hawaii, I felt that the content for this price was frankly too high. The day started with anxiety as the tour bus did not arrive at the pickup time. It eventually showed up 10 minutes late, but the vehicle was old and dirty, and the guide spoke very quickly, making it hard to understand.
In Haleiwa, we weren't allowed to explore the town; instead, we could only take pictures in front of the food stalls while the guide bought garlic shrimp for everyone. It felt rushed throughout, and we ended up arriving back in Waikiki around 3 PM, which was a short time for a high price.
I had a coupon for garlic shrimp, and when I asked the guide to use it, he didn't cut it out or show it to the shop staff, but instead just refunded me $5. They charged the tour guests the regular price, but the guide bought it at a lower price, so he must be pocketing the difference.
For that reason, while I was satisfied with the views of the North Shore and the horseback riding by the beach, I cannot recommend this tour company.
海辺乗馬とノースの街を観光したかったため、このツアーを選んだが、ハワイで様々な他会社のツアーに参加した経験から考えると、この内容でこの値段ははっきり言って高すぎると感じた。この日は、ピックアップ時間になってもツアーのバスが来ず、不安になる朝から始まった。結局10分遅れで到着されたが、車は古くて汚いし、ガイドさんのトークは、とても早口で非常に聞き取りづらい。また、ハレイワの街では、街散策もさせてもらえず、ガーリックシュリンプをガイドさんがまとめて買う間に屋台の前で写真を撮るのみ。終始せわしなくて、結局ワイキキには15時ごろには着いていて、時間は短いのに高い。
私はガーリックシュリンプのクーポンを持っていたので、ガイドさんにこれを使って買ってくれと頼むと、そのクーポンを切り取ることもなく、お店の人にみせることもなく、5ドル返金してくれました。ツアー客からは正規の値段を取り、しかし、ガイドさんは安く買っていて、その差額はガイドさんが得ているのでしょうね。
そういうわけで、ノースの海を見たり、海辺での乗馬は景色もよくて満足だったが、このツアー会社はおすすめできません。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, we sincerely apologize that the activity you joined did not meet your expectations.
Upon confirming with the operating company, we learned that the guide purchases the shrimp plate from the truck daily for customers. If you present your coupon, the guide can verbally inform the store, and a discount can be applied. We hope you understand that the guide does not receive any difference in price.
However, since the usual process is to pay after cutting out the coupon, we regret that this situation led to a misunderstanding. We apologize for any confusion caused.
Based on your valuable feedback, we will strive to provide services that will further enhance your satisfaction. Thank you for your continued support.

I had an amazing time.
If I come to Hawaii again, I want to jump again.
Everyone should try skydiving at least once in their lifetime.
I feel like I've changed just a little bit.
めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。
またハワイに来たら飛びたいと思う。
みんなも一生に一度くらいスカイダイビングに
チャレンジしてみようぜ。
ほんの少しだけ自分が変わった気がする。
Everyone was friendly, and even though I participated alone, I had a great time. It was my second time skydiving, and the weather was clear with great visibility that day, which made it enjoyable.
皆さんフレンドリーで一人で参加したのですが、楽しかったです。
スカイダイビングは2回目でしたが、当日は晴天で見晴らしが良く、
面白かったです。
It was my first time skydiving, and it felt amazing. I want to jump again. It became a great memory.
はじめてのスカイダイビングでしたが最高に気持ちよかったです。また飛びたいと思いました。いい思い出になりましt
I'm glad I chose this tour where I could experience horseback riding by the seaside! The beach was very beautiful!
乗馬体験は他のツアーにもありましたが海辺でできるこのツアーにしてよかったです!
海辺がとても綺麗でした!
Horseback riding by the seaside was very relaxing. Although the horse stopped to eat grass a few times, the guide helped us along and we had a great time. There was also a couple in their 60s, so I think it's an activity that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people.
海辺の乗馬は癒されました。
途中馬が草を食べてしまったり止まったりもしたけど、ガイドさんが誘導してくれて楽しめました。
60代のご夫婦もいたので、幅広く楽しめるアクティビティーだと思います。
I participated with my daughter, who had experienced it once in Guam, and myself, who has done it several times. This time, we experienced a free fall of about 60 seconds from 4,267 meters, which was completely different from what we had in Guam. Moreover, during our previous experience, it was slightly drizzling, so diving in the clear weather this time allowed us to see the beautiful scenery of Hawaii below perfectly, which was fantastic.
However, the instructor who accompanied my daughter was quite experienced, perhaps too much so, and didn't really hype things up. While other people were spinning around after the parachute opened, my daughter seemed to just be falling straight down... I thought the enjoyment really depends on the instructor. By the way, I had an amazing time.
過去にグアムで一回経験したことのある娘と、あちこちで何回か経験済みの親で参加しました。
今回は4267メートルでフリーフォールが約60秒とグアムで経験したものとは全く別世界を味わえたものでした。しかも前回は若干霧雨のような状態でしたので、今回のピーカン天気でのダイビングは下界のハワイのきれいな景色もバッチリ見えて最高でした。
しかし、娘についてくれたインストラクターの方はずいぶんベテランの方で慣れすぎているっていうかあまり盛り上げてくれないっていうか、パラシュートが開いてからもほかの人はぐるぐる回ったりしているのに娘だけはただ落ちてくるだけみたいな・・・
楽しさはインストラクターによるかなあと思いました。
ちなみに私は最高に楽しかったです。
It was amazing! I was moved by the wind, thrill, and refreshing feeling I experienced with my whole body, as well as the views of Hawaii from above! Even though my English is at an elementary level, the instructor who flew with me spoke some Japanese, albeit broken, and communicated through gestures, so I felt no anxiety. Above all, they were super friendly and had great energy! I want to come back to Hawaii for skydiving again... no, I will definitely come back!
P.S. The price goes up, but I recommend purchasing the DVD. Every time I watch the footage, the excitement and emotions from that moment come rushing back.
Thank you so much to all the staff!
最高でした~\(^o^)/
全身で感じる風&スリル&爽快感や上空から眺めるハワイの景色、すべてに感動しました!!
小学生レベルの英語しか出来ない私でも、一緒に飛んでくれるインストラクターの方が片言ながらも日本語を話してくれ、ジェスチャーでも示してくれるので不安はなかったです。何より、超フレンドリーでテンション↑↑
スカイダイビングのために またハワイに来たい...いや...絶対もう一度来る!!
P.S 値段は上がりますが、DVDは購入するのをオススメします。映像を見るたびに あの時の興奮と感動がよみがえります。
スタッフの皆様、本当にありがとうございました。
I'm not good with thrill rides, but this one isn't scary at all!! I want to do it again and again!! If I have the chance to go again, I will definitely repeat it!!!
絶叫マシンは苦手ですが、これは全然怖くない!!何度でもやりたい!!また行く機会があれば絶対リピートします!!!
