My first experience with skydiving. I boarded a Cessna and ascended into the vast sky. We went up so high that I wondered if we were still climbing. At 4,200 meters, we were significantly higher than Mount Fuji. Naturally, the clouds were far below us. After jumping, it felt like I did a flip. The wind pressure during the descent was incredible. It felt like the flesh of my cheeks was being pulled back towards my ears. It felt quite long until the parachute opened, but later, based on the video time, it was just a little over a minute. Once the parachute opened, it felt like we were going up. After that, I thought we would descend slowly, but… we made right turns and left turns, going over the ocean and back to the coastline. I got a bit motion sick. My younger son seemed to get quite sick. Perhaps because he felt a bit unwell, the time felt longer until we landed. After landing, my legs were a bit shaky. I requested some photos, but I didn’t purchase the video. I only bought the video for my younger son, so while the person is different, the scenery is the same. Since each photographer is assigned to each person, the number of photos and how they turn out varies depending on their sense, so it’s a matter of luck. My husband and I probably won’t fly again, but our sons will likely have another chance. Having experienced it once, I think they will enjoy flying even more next time. Skydiving while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Hawaii was wonderful. I recommend it for those who don’t get motion sickness.
スカイダイビング初体験。セスナに乗って大空へ。まだ上へ行くの?という位ずいぶんと高く上がっていきました。4,200メートル富士山よりかなり高い。当然雲ははるか下方。飛び降りてから、1回転くらいしたようだ。下降中の風圧がすごい。ほっぺたの肉が耳の後ろへ持って行かれる感じ。パラシュートが開くまで、結構長く感じる。あとでビデオの時間からすると1分チョット。パラシュートが開くと、上に上がる感じ。そのあとは。ゆっくり降りていくかと思ったら…。右旋回、左へ旋回。海の上へ行ったり海岸線へ戻ったりと。チョット酔ってしまいました。我が家の二男は随分と酔ってしまったようです。気分が少し悪くなったせいか、よけい時間が長く感じられ地面に降り立つまで長く感じました。着地した後は少し足が震えていました。写真撮影はお願いしましたが、ビデオは購入しませんでした。二男一人分だけ、ビデオをかったので、人間は違うけど風景は一緒です。カメラマンが一人一人着くので、その人のセンスによって写真の枚数と、映り方が違うので、ここは運ですね。私たち夫婦はもう飛ぶことは無いでしょうが、息子たちは、又チャンスがあるでしょう。一度体験したので、次回はより楽しんで飛べることと思います。ハワイの美しい景色を見ながらのダイビングは、素晴らしかったです。乗り物酔いの無い方にはお勧めです。

This year, at my grandchild's request, we participated in the Happy Trails horseback riding in North Shore, and we had a fun and meaningful vacation. Furthermore, last year I almost couldn't eat the shrimp (though I ended up eating it because I strongly requested it), but this year, the guide asked for our requests first, which made the activities enjoyable. Next year, I would like to do two of these activities here. I liked it that much. My grandchild was also extremely happy, which made me happy too.
今年も孫の希望によりノースショアーのハッピートレイルズ乗馬を実施、楽しく有意義にバケーションできました。
さらに、昨年は危なくエビシュリンプを食べられなくなりそうだったのですが(実際は途中強く希望したので食べられましたが)、今年は、ガイドの方が最初にリクエストを聞いてくれ気持ちよくアクティビティーが実行できました。来年は、ここを2本実施したいと思います。
それほど気に入ったアクティビティーです。孫も最高に喜んでくれたので、わたしもうれしかったです。

One of the things I want to do at least once in my life is skydiving, and I finally got the chance to try it this time!
This activity is influenced by the weather. The group after mine had to wait for a while, and I heard that the altitude was changed. I was lucky.
I watched a video and my partner, Colorado, helped me put on the harness and gave me a brief explanation in English and broken Japanese before we boarded the Cessna. Several teams got on and sat in low seats. Takeoff was quick! We were spinning and climbing higher and higher. I thought, "Wow, this is high!" and before I knew it, we were at 14,000 feet! The door opened, and we moved to the edge like ducks.
Dive!
Wait. All of a sudden?! I thought, "Aren't you going to ask if I'm ready?!" but there was no time for that. It was an adrenaline rush!
I gave hand signals to the cameraman, but I quickly ran out of ideas on what to do. Haha. Also, you often see comedians making funny faces, but that just happens naturally due to the wind pressure.
If you want to capture interesting images or videos, try opening your mouth and relaxing your face; you should be able to bring back some great souvenirs. I also think it's a good idea to come up with various hand signals in advance, even if they're not funny.
After the parachute opened, I enjoyed a thrilling flight before landing. Fun times always end too quickly.
Back at the cabin, I checked the images and videos. They are quite pricey, but it's for the memories.
As for tips, you'll receive an explanation on-site, but there are tip boxes for each instructor and cameraman, so just put your tips there.
I opted for the pick-up service, but you might have to wait a bit until everyone who got on the same ride finishes. I later learned that the driver, who was Japanese, is actually quite an amazing person.
I want to come back!
人生で一度はやっておきたいことシリーズの一つにスカイダイビングがあり、今回ついに機会を得ることができたためトライ!
天候に左右されるアクティビティ。自分の後の組はしばらく待機、高度も変更されたようなことを言ってました。私はラッキーでした。
ビデオをみて、パートナーのコロラドさんにベルトを装着してもらい簡単な説明を英語と片言の日本語でしてもらい、セスナへ。何チームか乗り込み低いシートに腰掛ける。テイクオフ。テンポ早い!ぐるぐる回りながらどんどん上空へ。あー、高い高いなんて呑気に思っていたら…気が付けば14000ft!乗り込み口が開けられそこまでアヒルのように移動。
ダイブ!
え。いきなり⁈
Are you ready?とか聞かねーのかよぉぉぉーっ!と落ちながら思うがもうそれどころではない。アドレナリンラッシュ!
カメラマンにハンドサイン出したりするがすぐにネタが尽きやることがなくなる。笑
あと、よく芸人が変顔さらしたりするがあれは風圧で勝手になる。
面白い画像や映像を撮りたい方は口を開けて顔を脱力したら相当なみやげを持って帰れるはずです。あと面白系じゃなくてもハンドサインは色々考えて行った方がいいと思います。
パラシュート開いたあともスリリングなフライトを楽しませてもらいランディング。楽しい時間はすぐに終わってしまいます。
小屋に戻り画像、映像チェック。なかなかいい値段ですが思い出に。
あと、チップについては現地で説明を受けますが、各インストラクター、カメラマンのチップボックスがあるのでそちらに入れればオッケー。
送迎付きにしましたが行きに乗った人が全員終わるまで帰れないため少しグダることがあるかも。運転手のおじいさんは日本人だが実はなんかすごい人だとあとで知った。
また来たい!

The moment I jumped was scary, but before I knew it, I was flying, and then it was just a matter of falling. While I was falling, it was painful, and I wished it would end quickly, but when the parachute opened, a beautiful view came into sight. I was moved by the blue sky and the beautiful ocean unique to Hawaii. I think photos and videos don't have to be expensive, but the scenery was captured very beautifully.
飛び降りる瞬間は怖かったですが、いつの間にか飛んでしまうのであとは落ちるのみです。

The main activity was horseback riding, but I was taken to many other places as well.
I learned a lot about various things in Hawaii during the car ride, which was both educational and interesting. I really experienced a lot in just one day.
As for the horseback riding, the guide seemed to be in a bad mood, and whenever we stopped or got out of line, he would click his tongue and scold us, so I couldn't enjoy it very much.
I understand that it's to prevent accidents and injuries, but it would have been better if the horseback riding could have been a bit more relaxed.
メインは乗馬でしたが、その他にもたくさん連れて行って頂きました。
車内でもハワイの色々な事について説明して頂いたので勉強にもなったし、面白かったです。
この一日で本当に沢山の事を経験できました。
メインの乗馬については、ガイドの方の機嫌が悪いのか、ちょっとでも止まったり列が乱れると、舌打ちしながら注意されるので、あまり楽しむことは出来ませんでした。
事故や怪我がない様に・・・というので仕方がないことかも知れませんが、もうちょっと和やかな感じで乗馬が出来たらもっとよかったです。

We went on a company trip to Hawaii, and to create unforgettable memories, seven of us from the company decided to challenge ourselves with skydiving. The moment we jumped out of the plane was MAX scary, but after about ten seconds of initial speed, once we entered free fall, I was able to relax and take in the breathtaking view of Hawaii.
I can't quite express how amazing it was, but everyone, "It's the best!" The fear lasts just a moment, but the joy lasts a lifetime! It's definitely worth the challenge. All seven of us felt the same way. If you're hesitating, I highly recommend it!

The quality of optional tours depends on "the weather and the guide." I was blessed with wonderful weather (Hawaiian blue = a clear blue sky) and the best guide, allowing me to spend a blissful time.
First, at the majestic Moanalua Gardens, I had the blooming monkey pod tree (the tree from Hitachi's advertisement) all to myself.
At the Dole Plantation, while others were waiting in long lines, I enjoyed VIP treatment thanks to my prior reservation and the familiar face of my guide, allowing me to bypass the queue and board immediately. After boarding, I had time for a stroll, shopping, and a light meal.
In Haleiwa Town, the experienced guide truly showcased their skills! They meticulously calculated the timing and route, leisurely navigating just before the busy hours. I was able to enjoy delicious shrimp from Mackey's, acai bowls from Lanikai Juice, and shave ice from Matsumoto without any wait, entering the shops while others were lined up outside. I managed to conquer all my goals with plenty of time to spare.
The 90-minute exploration of Haleiwa was divided into three 30-minute segments, allowing us to visit all the key spots without a long walk. I appreciated the thoughtful care of the veteran guide!
By slightly shifting away from the crowded beach where people were gathering around sea turtles, I was able to encounter sea turtles on a deserted beach.
Everything went so smoothly that I had extra time… The unexpected bonus tour to the soap factory, which became famous in Japan through the TV show "Moyamoya Summers," was excellent. They really know how to connect with Japanese TV programs—truly professional and experienced.
I was also given a handmade map of Haleiwa Town that included shop names and restrooms not found on commercial maps. Since I have difficulty walking, my guide brought a lightweight folding chair from home so I could take breaks while exploring. I felt a family-like hospitality in their meticulous care, which deeply impressed me.
Finally, I sincerely thank VELTRA, the operating company Island Makana, and my guide Yamada! Thank you for the best experience in Oahu (North Shore)! Next time I visit Hawaii, I will choose optional tours through VELTRA and confidently recommend them to my friends and acquaintances visiting Hawaii!

My husband was excited for this opportunity. I was absolutely scared to death and was confident that I would back out before jumping. However, Wally was my tandem partner and he's been jumping for over 30 years so I felt confident that I'd somehow survive. I was scared but very curious at the same time. So we both did it and loved it! I was the first one on the plane to jump. Everything went smoothly and we both highly recommend this activity for the ultimate experience of a first timer! We both had a blast, bought the video/photo package to remember and have no regrets!!

I read that the waiting time is incredibly long if you go late, so I rushed from Waikiki with a rental car and arrived before 9 AM. The briefing was very casual, and we were shown a video explaining that if anything goes wrong, it's all your fault. It was worth the rush because we took off on the first flight after about 40 minutes, and it took around 20 minutes to reach altitude. About eight of us lined up in two rows, and we dove one after another. There was no time to be scared; it was a quick free fall. They gave us goggles, but they didn't fit well, and wind got in, making it hard to see. I managed to see by holding them in place. After about 60 seconds, the parachute opened, and we enjoyed the scenery for about five minutes, which was really fun. The photos and videos cost over $100, so I secretly brought a micro camera to try filming! I managed to record something, but I couldn't get a full-body shot, and they asked us to empty our pockets beforehand, so I secretly attached it to my wristwatch. It seemed like it was not allowed, but I felt like they turned a blind eye. If you're considering this as a lifelong memory, it's worth spending the money!
遅く行くと待ち時間が恐ろしく長いと書き込みにあったので、レンタカーでワイキキからすっ飛ばして9時前につきました。講習などは超適当でやたら死んでも全てあなたのせいなどの説明ビデオを見せられます。急いで走って来たかいがあって1番目のフライトで40分ほどでテイクオフ・上空に上がるのに感覚20分程度、2列に並んだ8名ほどが次々ダイブします。怖いもクソもなくあっとゆう間に自由落下、ゴーグルをはめてくれますが合ってないのか風が入ってきてよく見えません手で押さえたらなんとか見えました。60秒ぐらいでパラセールが開いてそこから5分程度景色を楽しみながら余裕で楽しいです。写真ビデオは100ドル以上するので私はこっそりマイクロカメラを仕込み動画撮影にチャレンジ!なんとか撮影は出来ましたが、綺麗に全身は撮れませんし最初にポケットの中身は全て出すように言われますから、仕込みはこっそり腕時計につけて乗り込みました。本来はダメみたいで見て見ぬふりをしてもらっていたような気がします。一生の記念にと思われるならお金は出しましょう!

While the scenery was excellent and the tour guides very hospitable, it was hard to call this a horseback "riding" tour. We walked the horses on a predefined trail, and while I understand the owner's concerns about the health of his/her animals and the variable level of riding experience of the participants, there should have been a chance to run, gallop, or at least trot on the animals to call it riding.
Aloha, Thank you for your feedback. Due to our strick insurance policy we cannot allow riders to trot or canter on the beach/trail. We do offer an advanced ride for our clients with previous riding experience that are looking to trot and canter on our polo field after the trail ride. I'm sorry if your expectations were not met, we are a small family run business that strives to provide a unique and memorable experience for all of our clients. We hope that you will keep us in mind for future rides.
Again many thanks for your time and business.

Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I wanted to do something memorable, so I used this service. Even though it's a tropical paradise, it was cold at an altitude of 4,000 meters. During the descent, my body hurt from the wind pressure (it's beyond imagination), but it's a refreshing kind of pain that you can only experience there. You can see all of Hawaii from above, and I was just so moved.
You can add a photographer as an option, but it's a bit pricey. However, if it's your first time, I definitely recommend getting one!
After returning home, I watched the video and photos with my friends and family. Recently, one of my family members traveled to Hawaii, and I had recommended this experience. They participated and said, "It was just amazing! Thank you for telling me about it." It's truly the best experience that I remember fondly!

ハワイを一望できますし、とにかく感動しました。
オプションで、カメラマンを付けることができるんですが、少し金額は高め。でも、絶対初めてであるなら付けたほうがいいです!!
帰国してから、その動画と写真を友人や家族と一緒に見ました。
先日、家族の1人が旅行でハワイに行きましたが、おススメしておいたところ参加したようで、「もう、最高すぎた!教えてくれてありがとう」なんて感謝もされてしまいました。
いつ思い出しても最高の体験です!!

The check in process was not well explained. I felt like we waited for longer than it should of taken. Others that purchased there were put ahead of us. The instructors were great and ask for Greg.

We all enjoyed the ride. Savannah was a great guide and full of information on the local area. The horses were well groomed and behaved. The top of the mountain where we stopped for dinner provided gorgeous views. The dinner was good and so was the company. Gunstock Ranch was very beautiful, and the drive from Waikiki was beautiful too. I would definitely recommend it. Well worth it.

We drove to the North in a rental car and participated in horseback riding with our family. The Hawaii Polo Club, where we were taken care of this time, is located along the coast, with a dreamlike setting of white sandy beaches next to vast polo fields. Although I only understand a little Japanese, the friendly staff were very kind to us, and we had a wonderful time that made me want to come back for sure. The pleasant breeze of the North felt on the horse's back, the blue sky of Hawaii—just amazing!!! I highly recommend it.
レンタカーに乗ってノースまでドライブし、家族で乗馬に参加しました。今回お世話になったハワイポロクラブは海岸沿いの敷地で、白い砂浜と広大なポロフィールドが隣り合わせの夢のようなロケーションです。日本語は少ししか通じませんが、フレンドリーなスタッフに親切にしていただき、非常に楽しい時間を過ごす事ができ是非リピートしたいなって気持ちになりました。馬の背で感じるノースの心地良い風、ハワイの青い空、サイコー!!!お勧めです。

I have been to Hawaii over a dozen times and have been to Haleiwa and Giovanni's. This time, I didn't rent a car, so I joined a tour. My main goal was horseback riding, but I was also looking forward to shopping and dining in Haleiwa.
The driver seemed to be a veteran, and while you could say he was experienced, I felt like he didn't understand the excitement we had for participating in the tour. For example, when I requested Giovanni's, he repeatedly said, "It was featured on TV," and everyone else went to Macky's. I also got the impression that he somewhat dismissed Matsumoto Shave Ice, and we ended up going there just the two of us.
We were able to see sea turtles at the first beach we visited, but due to the reason that we couldn't stop the car, we were told to "return to the car right after taking photos."
Horseback riding was very enjoyable and became a great memory.
ハワイには十数回行っており、ハレイワにもジョバンニにも行った事があります。
今回は車を借りなかった為、ツアーに参加しました。
第一の目的は乗馬でしたが、ハレイワでのショッピングも食事も楽しみでした。
ドライバーさんはベテランらしく、良く言えば慣れていて、悪く言えば楽しみに参加した
気持ちをわかって頂けないように感じました。
例えばジョバンニをリクエストすると、「テレビで紹介されたから」と何度も言われ、
私たち以外はマッキーズに行きました。
マツモトシェイブアイスについても何となく否定された感じで、私たちだけ走って食べに
行きました。
ウミガメは最初に寄ったビーチで会えましたが、車を止めておけないという理由で、
「写真を撮ったらすぐに車に戻るように」でした。
乗馬はとても楽しく、良い思い出になりました。

I'm not good with thrill rides, but I saw this on TV and wanted to try it, so I made a reservation. They often say it changes your perspective on life, but in my case, it didn't change much. Depending on the season, it might be different, but in mid-March, it gets cold up high, so I thought it would be safe to wear a sweatshirt and sneakers, and I think that was the right choice. During the free fall, I couldn't breathe and it was tough. So next time, I want to do a plan with a lower altitude. After the parachute opened, it really felt like I was a bird, and I could visibly see the curvature of the Earth, which was an indescribable feeling. I definitely want to do it again!
絶叫系苦手ですが、テレビで見てこれはやってみたくて、予約しました。
よく、人生観が変わると言いますが、私の場合はあまり変わらなかったですf^_^;
季節によって変わるかもですが、三月中旬だと上空のほうへ行くと寒いので、スウェットとスニーカーが無難だろうと思って調達しました、正解だったと思います。フリーフォールの間はとにかく息ができなくて苦しいです。なので次にやる時は高度下げたプランでやりたいです。パラシュートが開いた後はほんとに鳥になったようで気持ちいいし、地球の丸さが目に見えてわかるのがなんとも言えない感慨に浸れます^ ^ 絶対またやりたい!

Thank you very much for using our services. However, I sincerely apologize that you were unable to enjoy the main horseback riding experience due to the guide's attitude. I have addressed this matter with the horseback riding team.
この度はご利用いただき誠にありがとうございました。但し、メインの乗馬がガイドの態度で楽しめなかったとのこと、申し訳ございませんでした。乗馬側にこの件は厳しく注意をしておきました。
