以前グアムで初めてスカイダイビングをして、超楽しかったので今回の旅行でも飛ぼうと決めてました。
体験談を見ていると、待ち時間が長いという内容が多かったので、文庫本も持参し、長い時間待ちを覚悟してました。
まずホテルでピックアップしてもらって、約1時間バスに揺られて催行会社に向かいます(場所的にはノースシュアの方です)。バスの中では嫌になるぐらいたくさんイニシャルを書かなくてはいけない契約書を書かされます。(さすが裁判大国アメリカ!!)
そしてダイブの時の注意事項をビデオで見せられます。
催行会社に到着すると、簡単に流れ的な事を全て英語で説明されて、バスで書いた契約書と身分証明書を提出して受付します。
その後はバスの中で見たビデオの注意事項を再度インストラクターの人が簡単に教えてくれます。これも全部英語です。(ホントに簡単な説明です)
私達のバスのグループの前に一組だけグループがいましたが、私が参加した日は、天候も良く、風もほぼなかったので、即スタンバイして飛ぶ事が出来ました。
天気も良かったので、ハワイの空と海がめちゃくちゃキレイでした!!!グアムよりキレかったかも。
そして朝7時頃に飛んだので、昼間より何倍もキレイでした。最高の景色でした!!!
しかし、私的に???と思った事が2つ。
1つは高いお金払ってるのに、その上にチップを請求されます。ちなみにグアムではチップは要りませんでした。
2つ目はダイブする時にカメラマンも一緒に飛びます。でもインストラクターによって、リストカメラを付けている人もいます。
その人に当たれば間近で写真を撮ってくれるし、最初から最後まで撮ってくれます。リストカメラを付けていないインストラクターだと、一緒に飛ぶカメラマンが撮ってくれますが、アウトサイドからの撮影になるので飛び始め、フリーフォールの間、着地した時だけの撮影になります。
ちなみに私はアウトサイドからの撮影でした。
ダイブが終わった後、撮影した映像を見て買うか買わないか決めれます。
写真だけでもいいし、動画だけでもいいし、コンボで買ってもいいし、これも自由に選べます。ここでびっくりしたのが、リストカメラの方が確実にキレイに撮れているのにアウトサイドからの撮影の方が高いんです!!!!何で???
アウトサイドからの画像は雑です。なのに高い!!
雑な画像なくせにかなりのお値段です。コンボで230ドル!!!!びっくりですよ。
リストカメラの方はコンボで170ドルだったかなぁ。どっちにしても高っ!!!!って思いました。
グアムでもCDRを買いましたがキレイな画像で5000円くらいだったと思います。
買うかどうか迷いましたが、一応思い出と言うことで買いましたが。。。。
どんだけぼったくるんでしょう?たかがUSBに画像を入れてくれるだけなのに。。。
ダイブは最高でしたが、その他諸々は???って感じでした。

My husband and and I made the trip to Pearl Harbour and visited the ship the Missouri and the very touching memorial. It was one of the best days spent on our Hawaii vacation. Our only regret was we did not get up and go as early as possible as there was so much more we could have seen if we had planned to spend the entire day there. The ship was amazing and definitely worth the ticket price. We didn't see the submarine or airport but we couldn't have squeezed anything else in that day. All round an excellent way to spend the day and have a real appreciation for the history.
One of the most amazing parts of the trip was the memorial. We were fortunate enough to have a WWII veteran visiting the memorial that day. It was very honerable how the staff escorted him on and off the shuttle boat and made way for him to the front the memorial. There were so many names you could not help but to look for a potential past relative on the wall and find your personal connection to history.
The Missouri felt like a time capsule. It was so interesting to see the way the sailers and army men lived on the boat. Very organized spaces in such tight quarters. One of the most memorable exhibits was the Japanese komakozi exhibit. They have letters written by the young men who sacrificed their lives in the Japanese Air Force. Very heart felt and it really hit home that all war is devastating regardless of the side you happen to be on.

First part of the trip was informative and somewhat interesting. Half way through we stopped for lunch at the Kualoa Ranch ,food was not bad. Then after the lunch break the trip became very boring. Drove along the north shore of the island for well over an hour without stopping to view anything. We then turned inland heading to the Dole Plantation which took another 1/2 an hour plus. Stopped at the plantation for 15 minutes to buy gifts or have a Dole ice cream??. Then it was off to home sweet home. Our Driver Leo was very cordial and informative and generally helpful with the boredom. This tour should at best last the first part of the trip and head back. Sorry

The trip lived up to its description. The pilot made sure both sides received extraordinary views by angling over each side so that all passengers could see the feature. Narration and music added to the enjoyment. I'm so glad we did the waterfall landing add on. The flight up into one of the canyons with many waterfalls plunging down the sides is a never-to-be-forgotten experience.
And the actual landing at the base of one waterfall was amazing. Wish I had brought my bathing suit for a swim in the pool! Thanks to our pilot (Greg)for making this a special experience.

We had Larry with Royal Star as our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and had a sense of humor which was a bonus. He gave us pointers once we were at Pearl Harbor which were helpful. We enjoyed learning about the history of Pearl Harbor. The Arizona Memorial was very moving. The USS Battleship Missouri was really cool. The ship is huge. We first were part of a guided tour where we learned about what took place on the battleship. After the tour, we were able to move around the ship freely and explore. We finished off this experience by touring the city. We learned a lot about the history of Hawaii. This was an awesome experience and we highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed.

This tour was so great. Having a luxurious coach, a driver in training Toa and the Driver of the Year (2015/2016) Larry, the whole day was informative and fun. One of the greatest things I enjoyed was the amount of time we had at Pearl Harbor. Would highly recommend Royal Star... Toa & Larry treated us all like royalty.
If you choose to do this tour, I highly recommend the USS Missouri which took me around two hours. It gave me a great insight into what it must have been like on the Arizona when the Japanese struck and how so many brave soldiers were entombed in her.
Finally, I would again commend this tour company for the motor coach, professionalism, service, jokes and knowledge. It was well above my expectations.

First time ever swimming with sharks and it was definitely one of the coolest experiences of my life. Naturally, I was pretty nervous but the moment I stepped on the boat and met the owner/boat captain and his two employees I was immediately put at ease. They are all local guys who are extremely knowledgeable about sharks, told us what to expect, and gave very specific instructions. The owner said he has been doing this for 30 years. Plus, they were very kind and personable which added to the experience.The safety swimmer gets in the water before you and is with you the entire time. He will hold your hand if you are nervous. Sharks are misunderstood creatures so put your preconceived notions and fears about them aside and go on this adventure! You won't regret it!

The experience was excellent from beginning to end. The online booking through Veltra was straight forward and an email confirmation was promtly received. The staff was very helpful over the telephone in advance of the tour. The pick up was right on time and our driver was charismatic, professional and knowledgeable about the history of Hawaii. The city tour was great and would recommend it as a combination package with the Arizona Memorial entrance. The Arizona Memorial is a must see when visiting the island, the experience was both informative and emotional. We proceeded to visit the Missouri which is an absolute must see. We were driven to the Missouri in a very comfortable bus. Upon arrival we were greeted and welcomed aboard the ship. It was a real walk through time. Make sure you carve out enough time to walk through the ship, you can spend hours if so inclined. We participated in a 30 minute guided tour which was packed with information and then walked around the ship. The Missouri is a magnificent ship filled with stories of people who were present and lived moments of historical significance. Our driver gave us a pick up time for the return and he was on site promptly on schedule. Our driver was curteous, funny and provided us with additional information on our way back to our hotel. We were dropped off at our hotel entrance. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We had considered making our own arrangements to visit Pearl Harbour but we decided to book our tickets and tour through Veltra/Hawaiian tours after speaking to a group that had booked through them. We had rented a car for two days and toured other parts of the island. The booking of the Arizona Memorial and the Missouri through Veltra was definitely worth while and would recommend it to anyone visiting the island. No line up for tickets, excellent service and informative city tour.
