The highlight of my trip to Hawaii was definitely skydiving. To be honest, I was quite nervous, but my instructor Brent, who didn't speak much Japanese, made me laugh with his gestures, and it was a lot of fun. The time flew by smoothly. Also, for first-timers, I recommend getting photos or a DVD, even though it can be a bit pricey. I didn't do it, and I regret that. If I come back to Hawaii, I will definitely do it again!
今回のハワイ旅行で1番の思い出はスカイダイビングになったくらい良かったです。
正直・・・かなりビビってましたがインストラクターのbrentが日本語はあまり話せなかったけどジェスチャーで笑わせてくれたりして楽しかったです。
時間もスムーズに進み あっという間の時間でした。
あとは・・・初めての方は少しお値段は張りますが写真かDVDの撮影をオススメします。私はしなかったので後悔してます。
またハワイに来たら必ずまた来ます!

Next, if I could participate in just one thing in Hawaii, it would definitely be this! It's an experience that everyone envies! It's something only those who have done it can understand. Since the North Shore is nearby, I think it's a good idea to rent a car, visit the North Shore, and then head back.
次,ハワイに行って何か一つだけ参加できると言われれば絶対これです!誰もが羨む体験をできます!やった人にしかわからない体験です.近くにはノースショアも近いのでレンタカーで行って,ノースショア巡って帰るのが良いと思います.

My first trip to Hawaii, and skydiving was the main event of my journey with my college-aged son. It was supposed to be scheduled for the day after our arrival, September 11. When we arrived at Honolulu Airport and checked my watch, it automatically adjusted to the local time. Little did I know, this was just the beginning of the mishaps...
The next morning, just before 6 AM, on my way back from getting breakfast, I spotted the skydiving van at the hotel entrance and thought, "Wow, they operate this early! I wonder where they go?" When I returned to the room and looked at the clock next to the bed, it showed 7:15 AM. The pickup was scheduled for 7:05 AM, so I rushed to the front desk and asked, "Is it already past 7? Is there no skydiving pickup?" Unfortunately, they had already left. I quickly called the number listed on the coupon from the front desk and was able to speak in Japanese with the driver who was picking up participants. I was informed that they were already heading to the airport and was advised to contact them to reschedule. I changed the date to the following day.
On September 12, the day of the skydiving, I was nervous but excitement prevailed. The plane climbed rapidly, spiraling at a steep angle, and before I knew it, we reached an altitude of over 4,200 meters. As soon as the engine slowed down, the door opened, and one by one, people jumped out without hesitation. I was the second to last to go. The cameraman clung to the outside of the exit, and as soon as I knelt down, the instructor behind me signaled, and I dove headfirst in a somersault. The only moment I felt scared was during the approximately three seconds it took to complete the flip. Once I spread my arms and legs and entered free fall, the fear disappeared. "What is this feeling? Is it pleasant?" No, it was "Incredibly amazing!" This sensation lasted for over a minute. Once we landed, I could immediately see my photos and video. Initially, I thought I would only buy the photos, but after watching the video, I found myself loosening my wallet.
On the way back to the hotel, the driver turned out to be the president of the diving center. Still buzzing with excitement, I expressed my desire to return and dive again someday by saying, "Thank you. See you next time." The president cheerfully replied, "See you tomorrow!!" He was a nice guy.
The DVD was edited with music, making it feel like a promotional video. I've converted it to MP4 and have watched it multiple times on my iPad and smartphone, dreaming of the next opportunity.
初めてのハワイ、スカイダイビングは大学生の息子との男二人旅のメインイベント。予定は到着の翌日9/11のハズでした。ホノルル空港に着いて腕時計を見ると、地元の電波で自動的に時間を指した。さすがハイテク機器と思ったのがハプニングの始まり・・・
翌朝AM6時前、朝食を買い出しに行った帰り、ホテルの玄関でスカイダイビングのバンを横目で見ながら、「こんな早朝でもあるんだ~。何処だろう?」と感心しながら部屋に戻ってベット脇の時計を見ると、なんとAM7:15を指している。ピックアップの予定はAM7:05、急いでフロントに駆けつけ「今、7時過ぎですか? スカイダイビングのピックアップは居ませんか?」と聞くが出発した後だった。直ぐにフロントからクーポン券に記載の番号に電話をすると、ピックアップ中の運転手と日本語で話ができた。もう飛行場に向かっているので、参加できる日を連絡するようにと告げられ、翌日に変更をした。
9/12、スカイダイビング当日、緊張はしているが期待が勝っている。飛行機は急角度で螺旋を描きながら、アッと言う間に高度4200m以上に到達する。エンジンがスローになった途端、シャッタを開けて間髪を容れずに次々に飛び出していく。私は最後から二番目。カメラマンが出口の外にしがみつき、私が片膝をついた途端、後ろで繋がったインストラクターの合図で、前転する様に頭からダイブする。「怖い。」と感じたのは、1回転するまでの約3秒間だった。手足を広げて自由落下になると恐怖感が消えた。「何、この感じは?」「気持ち良い?」いや「チョー気持ち良いーーー!」この感覚が約1分以上続いた。地上に降りると直ぐに自分の写真とビデオを見ることができます。ダイビングの前は写真だけと思っていたが、映像を見ると財布の紐が緩んでしまった。
ホテルまでの帰りのドライバーは、なんとダイビングセンターの社長でした。興奮が醒めない私は、またいつか戻ってきてダイブしたいという気持ちを込めて別れ際にThank you. See you next time. 社長の返答は See you tomorrow!!陽気なNice Guyでした。
DVDは音楽付きで編集されていて、まるでプロモーションビデオの様です。MP4に変換してiPadやスマホで何度も見ています。次の機会を夢見て。

One of the purposes of my visit to Hawaii was this. My husband and I were supposed to participate together, but unexpectedly, he fell ill the day before, so I considered canceling. However, he encouraged me to go alone, and I did.
My impression? Simply the best!!
The photographer was very good at Japanese and made various efforts to help me relax. The instructor spoke mostly in English, so I think it would be better to have some speaking ability.
I experienced a new world. When I come to Hawaii next time, I would like to participate again with my husband.

It was absolutely amazing!
I had breakfast at 6:00 and was picked up at the hotel at 6:45.
In the hotel lobby, the driver, Mr. Takahashi, taught me how to fill out the participation form.
You can take your time to fill out the documents on the bus, of course in Japanese.
We picked up participants from three or four hotels and arrived in about an hour.
The training consists of watching a video, explained in Japanese.
The content is simple: ① The position when jumping from the plane (arched back with arms crossed) ② Spread your arms at the instructor's signal (they will tap your shoulders twice) ③ Never touch the instructor ④ Leave the landing to the instructor (extend your legs forward).
The instructor also explains using simple Japanese and gestures.
If you request photos or videos, or both, a photographer will jump with you.
I chose photos, and there were 177 images in the data.
They will provide goggles on the plane.
During free fall, breathe through your nose, and if your ears hurt, pinch your nose and slowly release the air.
I hope everyone enjoys the wonderful scenery and the elegant journey through the sky! ♪

Four years ago, I went skydiving with this company in Hawaii. I couldn't forget the excitement from that time, so I decided to sign up again. Just like last time, the waiver included scary statements like "we are not responsible for accidents" and "general travel insurance does not cover this," but I understood well that it is a dangerous activity, yet a valuable experience, so I went ahead with the skydiving.
First, a video explanation is shown, detailing the methods and points to note. The instructors who jump with you also provide explanations. However, many of them seem to speak only very simple Japanese. (But since you watch the video, you will definitely understand.) There are many friendly and cheerful people.
You can have photos and videos taken, but since one cameraman jumps with you, the cost is nearly double. When you're on the plane, you can see the beautiful ocean and rise through the clouds, making the view inside the plane quite moving.
Then, under the instructor's guidance, you jump from the plane. Some people felt the wind pressure and said they couldn't breathe, but I was able to breathe normally. It felt less like falling and more like being a bird flying.
When the parachute opens, the drop speed suddenly decreases, which is surprising, but from there, you can enjoy the scenery slowly. The instructor made several turns so we could see various views. You land on the ground in just over five minutes. However, even when the ground is right below you, the landing can be quite jarring. So I think wearing jeans or long pants is better. Last time, I landed normally, but this time, due to the strong wind, I fell and landed on my backside (laughs).
But it was really fun, and I felt I had a great experience.
4年前にハワイに来たときにこの会社でスカイダイビングをさせていただきました。
そのときの感動が忘れられず、また申し込むことにしました。
前回同様誓約書に「事故があっても責任を負わない」とか「一般の旅行保険では保障されません」とか怖いことも書かれていましたが、それぐらい危険なものであること、でも貴重な経験であることを自分で十分理解してスカイダイビングをすることにしました。
まず説明のVTRが流れ、方法や留意点などの説明されます。
一緒にとぶインストラクターの方からも説明があったりします。でも本当にカンタンな日本語しか話せない感じの人が多いです。(でもVTRを観ているので絶対わかります)
とても気さくな明るい人が多いです。
写真や映像も撮影してもらえますが、カメラマン1人がとぶので2倍近い料金がかかります。
飛行機に乗ってる時点できれいな海が見えたり、雲をつきぬけて上昇するので飛行機内での景色も感動モノです。
あとはインストラクターさんの指示のもと飛行機から飛びます。風圧を感じて「息ができなくなる」という人もいましたが、あたしはけっこうフツーに息してました。
落ちてるというより、鳥になって飛んでるような気分。
それからパラシュートが開くと急に落下速度が落ちるのでびっくりしますが、そこからはゆっくり景色を楽しむことができました。インストラクターさんはいろんな景色が見れるように何度も旋回してくれました。
5分少々で地上に降りてきます。が、地面がすぐ真下に見えても着地はけっこう衝撃があります。なので服装はGパンや長ズボンの方がいいと思います。前回はフツーに立てましたが、今回は風が強かったせいもありコケてお尻で着地(笑)
でもとっても楽しくて、いい経験をさせていただいたなと思いました。

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。

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!

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!

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!
初めてのハワイだったので、思い出に残ることをやりたいということで利用しました。
南国といえども、高度4000メートルの上空は寒かったです。
落下の際は、体が風圧で痛いんですが(想像を超えます)そこでしか体感できない爽快な痛さです★
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.

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!

This was my first trip to Hawaii, and my main goal was to go skydiving. I actually have a fear of heights, but as the plane ascended, the excitement and tension grew stronger than my fear.
When the moment came to jump... it happened in the blink of an eye, but rather than being scared, it was fun. I'm really glad I did it. I believe it's an experience that only those who have tried it can truly understand.
If you're hesitating, I definitely think it's worth giving it a try.
ハワイ旅行は初めてで、スカイダイビングを最大の目的にしていた私。
実は高所恐怖症なのですが、飛行機で空高くなるにつれて、高所恐怖症より、ワクワク感と緊張のほうが高まってきました。
さあ。飛び出す瞬間・・・・あっ!という間の出来事でしたが、怖いというより、楽しかったです。
飛んでみて本当に良かった。体験した人にしかわからない体験だと思います。
悩んでいる方は、ぜひやってみる価値はあります。

One of the members said, "I want to try flying!" so we made a reservation.
The initial waiver states, as mentioned in the testimonials, that they won't take responsibility for anything that happens. I recommend reading it carefully instead of just signing it.
When we arrived at the airfield, we watched a simple explanatory video in both English and Japanese. I was really curious about the owner's beard (laughs).
You can purchase memories of skydiving through photos only, videos only, or both. If you choose not to buy, you'll be encouraged to have the instructor take photos with a camera attached to their arm later on, which costs about $70. It seems you can't take pictures with the instructor unless you buy something. The prices are quite high. The choice to buy or not is yours, but the sales pitch is quite strong (laughs).
I initially chose photos only but switched to both after flying. The price difference was $30, and since I could decide after seeing the finished product, I splurged a bit☆(*・∀・*)ノ You can also use a card. For both (photos + DVD), it was about $200 on sale.
They explain that you should leave a tip. They also display a guideline for the amount. If you request a photographer, you'll need to tip for them as well.
When we ascended in the Cessna, I was nervous, but the beauty of the ocean below raised my excitement to another level!! We kept climbing even after crossing the cloud sea ((((;゜Д゜))) It's higher than Mount Fuji!! When I jumped, I seriously thought I might die. But within a few seconds, I calmed down. It felt like I was supported by the wind pressure from below. From then on, I was on a high! I waved to the photographer, saying, "Aloha☆Ψ( ̄∇ ̄)Ψ I wish I had thought of more poses for other versions (^ -^)ゝ゛
It might be worth flying at least once in a lifetime. I've heard that when a person is determined to die, it feels like that, and I thought that’s what it might be like. You can create very memorable and fun experiences!
メンバーの1人が、飛んでみたい!と、言うことで予約しました。
最初の誓約書は、体験談にあったように
何があっても責任は取らないよと、言うもの。
ただ単にサインをするのではなく、ちゃんと読むことを勧めます。
飛行場に着くと、英語、日本語用の簡単な説明ビデオを見ます。
オーナーのヒゲが凄く気になりました(笑)
写真のみ、ビデオのみ、両方と、スカイダイビングの思い出を買えます。
無しを選ぶと、後でインストラクターの腕に着けたカメラでの撮影を勧められます。→70$位
買わないとインストラクターとの撮影は出来ないそうです。
お値段は、かなりかかります。
買う・買わないの選択は自由です。
でも、セールスはかなり推されます(笑)( ´,_ゝ`)
私は、写真のみから両方に飛んでから変更。差額が30$と言うこともあり
仕上がりを見て決められるので奮発しちゃいました☆(*・∀・*)ノ
カードも使えます。両方(写真+DVD)では、セール中で約200$でした。
チップは、置いていってくださいと説明があります。
値段も目安を掲示してくれてます。
撮影を頼んだ人は、カメラマンの分も必要です。)
セスナで上がる時は緊張と、眼下に広がる海の美しさでテンションが以上に上がる!!
雲海を越えてもまだまだ上昇((((;゜Д゜)))
富士山よりも高いんですよ!!
飛ぶときは、マジで死ぬかと思った。
でも、ものの数秒で落ち着きます。下からの風圧で支えられてる感じ。
もうそれからは、highテンション!
カメラマンに向かって、アロ~ハ☆Ψ( ̄∇ ̄)Ψ
もうちょっと、他のバージョンのポーズを考えておけば良かった(^-^)ゝ゛
人生に一度くらいは飛んでみても良いかもしれない
人間、死ぬ気になればときいた事があるけど
死ぬ気ってあんな感じなんだと思ったり
とても思い出に残る楽しい思い出が作れますよ

We took a small Cessna up into the sky, and it was really scary as we kept climbing higher and higher. However, the staff who flew with us reassured me by saying, "It's okay!" which made me feel at ease. I made some great memories.
小さなセスナで上空まで行くのですが、どんどん上まで行き途中本当に怖かったです。
でも、一緒に飛んでくれるスタッフの方が、大丈夫!と声をかけれくれて安心させてくれました。
よい思い出ができました。

I did it thinking it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience! But I want to do it again!! It felt amazing! However, as the reviews said, the wait is really long! I read the reviews and went by rental car, but I checked in before 9 AM and waited 3 hours until the flight... It seemed like they prioritized the shuttle people. If that’s the case, they should either stagger the check-in times from the beginning or let us know that we would be waiting for 3 hours, so we could have gone sightseeing during that time!! The DVD is a bit pricey, but I'm glad I asked for it! They edit it really cool!
一生に一度と思ってやりました!
けどまたやりたい!!すっごい気持ち良かったです!
ただ、口コミ通り、めちゃくちゃ待ちます!
口コミを見て、レンタカーで行ったのですが、
9時前に受付して、飛ぶまで3時間待ちました…
多分送迎の人を先に飛ばしてたっぽいです。
だったら初めから時間をずらして受付するか、
3時間待つと教えてくれれば、待ってる間に他の観光に行けたのに!!
DVDは少し高いけど、お願いして良かったです!
カッコ良く編集してくれます!

On the night of my arrival, slightly tipsy, I made a reservation. I finally got to try skydiving, something I had wanted to do for a long time.
I boarded the pickup wagon at 6:30 AM, and shortly after, a waiver was distributed. I gulped as I read through the items, including "I will not hold your company responsible, including my family, in case of an accident," and signed all the items! The car was silent.
Upon arriving at the airfield, we watched a video explaining the potential risks, and then I met my instructor, who would jump with me. He was friendly and cheerful, but his serious expression while putting on the gear gave me a sense of reassurance, showing he was indeed a professional.
Then we boarded the Cessna and took off. A few minutes later, when the altimeter indicated we were almost there, the instructors in the cabin started shouting excitedly as the large door opened.
One by one, the dives began, and finally, it was my turn. Perhaps because it was too high or because I had no time to think, I didn't feel much fear of heights as I jumped out, falling at a speed of 200 km/h! It felt more like floating in the air. (It varies by person, but for me, doing a freestyle swim in the air was the most fun part!)
Once the parachute opened safely, I finally noticed the amazing scenery and was able to slowly enjoy the magnificent panorama. (I had heard that looking down could make you dizzy, so I occasionally looked into the distance.)
As the ground quickly approached, I realized I was going quite fast, but I landed safely. I exchanged a firm handshake with my instructor, and my unknown experience came to an end.
Thanks to the clear skies and calm winds, I was extremely satisfied. This could become addictive. I highly recommend giving it a try!
到着日の夜、ほろ酔い加減で予約。
以前からやってみたいと思っていたスカイダイビング初挑戦です。
6:30AMのお迎えワゴンに乗り込みしばらくすると誓約書が配られ、「事故が起きても遺族を含め貴社に責任を問いません」等の項目にゴクリ・・・全項目にサイン!車中はシーンとしていました。
飛行場に到着すると、これまたビデオでミスの可能性などの説明ビデオを見てから一緒に飛ぶインストラクターとご対面。
気さくで明るい方でしたが、器具装着時の顔は真剣そのもので、さすがプロという姿勢が安心感を与えてくれました。
そしてセスナ機に乗り込み離陸。
数分後に高度計を指し、もうじきであることを告げられると、機内のインストラクター達が奇声を発して大きな扉が開かれます。
次々とダイブが始まり、ついに自分の順番。
高すぎるためか、考える間もなく飛び出されたためか、高所恐怖はさほど感じないまま、時速200kmのスピードで落ちる!というより空に浮いている感覚でした。(人にもよりますが、空で平泳ぎをしたりでこのときが一番楽しい!)
無事パラシュートが開くとようやくすばらしい景色に気づき、ゆっくりと壮大なパノラマを楽しめます。(下を見たままだと酔うと聞いていたので、時折遠方に目を向けます)
みるみる地面が近づくと、結構なスピードが出ていることが分かりましたが、無事着地。
インストラクターと固い握手をかわして、未知の体験が終了です。
快晴と無風に恵まれたこともあり、大満足でした。
これは、クセになりそうです。
是非、お試しを!
