ディリンハム飛行場をベースとするスカイダイビングに挑戦してきました。
ワイキキのホテルを7:00にピックアップされ、8:30には飛行場に到着。
そして、簡単な説明のあと、【何があっても全ての責任は自分にあることを誓います】と云う誓約書にサインをし、スカイダイビングに挑戦です。
もちろん、一人では飛べないのでインストラクターとのタンデム飛行。
ハーネスをとりつけ、セスナに乗り込み、上空へ…。
そして、大空へダイブ!
想像以上のすばらしい景色と高揚感でした。
写真を希望する場合は専属のカメラマンが一緒に飛んでくれます。
私も、記念にと写真をお願いしましたが、カメラマンを意識する余裕もないくらいの景色の美しさに、カメラの存在をすっかり失念し、カメラ目線の写真はほとんどありませんでした。
とにかく、スカイダイビングは、お勧めのアクティビティです。
しかし、スカイダイビングでは事故が皆無なわけではありません。
ハワイでは、過去に死亡事故も発生しています。
スカイダイビングの挑戦する場合には、軽い気持ちではなく、それなりの覚悟をして臨むことも必要です。
14000feetからの降下で1ダイブ185US$(ワイキキまでの往復シャトルサービス込)、ダイビング後はインストラクターさんにチップ(20US$)が必要です。チップに20 US$って高い気がしますが、4000m近い上空から、大空を滑空し、地球の丸さを感じながら景色を楽しみ、怪我一つせずに地上に下ろしてもらえるのです。安全料だと思えばそんなに高くないと思います。
写真撮影を希望する場合は、専属のカメラマンも一緒に降下するので撮影料:120US$+チップ20US$が必要となります。カメラマンさんは写真以外に動画も撮影していて、ダイビング後に動画をチェックして、気に入れば動画も買うことができます。(確か写真代金+30 US$位)でした。

きれいなビーチでの乗馬は最高。ポロ試合に出ている馬たちだったがおとなしく、安心して乗っていられました。日曜日にポロ試合があると言っていたので時間があれば観に行きたかったが、かなわず残念。美しい景色の中での乗馬は心が洗われるようで、楽しかったです♪

We did several tours and the North Shore was our favorite. The North Shore was gorgeous. There were a bunch of awesome little shops and art galleries. We rode bikes and went snorkeling. It was awesome!

My daughter and I only had two days in Hawaii and I am so glad that two hours of it was riding at Kualoa Ranch. It was a wonderful way to see the beautiful scenery of the island and learn some interesting history of the area. The horses were great even in the windy weather and our guides friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

家族4人で参加しました。
大人4人でしたが、海辺を馬に乗りながら歩くのは初めての体験で全員がはしゃいでしまいました。インストラクターのお姉さんも優しく英語で話しかけてくれました。
馬によって性格も様々で、馬がなかなか進まないなどハプニングもありましたが、生き物との触れ合いならではのアクティビティでとても楽しめました。
またハワイに行くときは、絶対にやりたいです!!

Amazing experience! Well over a dozen sharks swimming around, close to the cage. Plenty of time in the water. I would definitely recommend the video which probably adds a few minutes to your experience and is reasonably priced. The staff was personable and safety focused making for a great experience. Of all the activities we have done this trip this is the one we will do again our next time out.

Trail riding for the perfect amount of time. The horses were magnificent athletes and very well mannered. More trail than beach. We could have done without the trailblazing through prickers. We could see the ocean the whole time though and saw whales breaching in the distance.

Very good 2.5 hours spent aboard the catamaran. The crew seemed knowledgeable and were happy to point out a whole host of things to look at. We managed to see about 10 sightings of whales, some jumping out of the water, some 'blowing' and some fantastic tail shots. Would recommend to others.

今回で2回目の参加です。前回乗馬初体験でした。クアロアの馬はとても大人しいですし、ゆっくりライドするので、思っていたほど怖くなかったです。クアロアの山々の雄大な景色に感動したので、再挑戦しました。前回は2時間コースの最終回15:30からのコース、今回は2時間コースの11:45からのコースにしました。
今回のお昼スタートのコースは前回に比べ、牧場内の移動が狭く乗馬時間が短いと感じました。前回はあそこの場所まで行ったよね?ここで引き返すの?と・・・。スタッフも無口でおしゃべりもせず、あまりコミニケーション取ってきませんでした。前回は欧米人の学生達ばかりだったので、陽気でとても楽しいライドだったのですが。今回は日本人ばかりで家族連れやご年配の方が多かったので、そのような対応になったのかもしれませんが、とても残念でした。景色は本当に最高です。初めての乗馬される方はクアロアをおすすめします。

My girlfriend and I had such a wonderful time here at Kualoa Ranch. The horses were very well trained, tamed, and talented. This was our first time getting up on horses, and man I looked like Zorro. My girlfriend has such a strong, muscular, and smart horse, and luckily for here his name was Romeo. My horse was named Shay and he was just like me, always hungry. He stopped every ten minutes to eat grass, but I had to let him do it secretively. We had great views of the ocean and the mountain range of Kualoa Ranch, however getting pictures will be hard because you will need to make sure you are 100% focused and attentive of your horse and for your own personal safety. Our guide was great and she even took a couple pictures for me before our tour started. We had an excellent time and would recommend this to anyone.

I've always wanted to do a horseback ride on the beach, & San Diego really didn't have any options, so when we planned our trip to Oahu we had to do this! We googled horse back riding on the beach & picked this one immediately. The ride was relaxing and so pretty, we rode polo ponies and they were beautiful and matched perfectly with us, mine was named Chaser! can't wait to come back & do it again! Aloha & Mahalo

The company was very professional. The pilot was very knowledgeable and personable and provided a great narration. We saw 2/3rds of the island and had some exciting moments flying over cliffs and through valleys. Unfortunately, the hull-mounted video camera quit working just 5 minutes into the 45 minute ride. We were certain we wanted to buy the video of our flight and the accompanying narration so we were disappointed that it wasn't going to be possible. The company provided us with a sales DVD that included many of the same sights we experienced, however, the special nature of the video of our flight was lost.

Captain Tanja and the crew were fantastic. They were knowledgeable,friendly,and funny. We brought home a video of our adventure and are so glad that we did! We would do this again in a minute!

Our first activity of our week on Oahu, and our favorite. Pricey...yes, but exciting. And, it gave perspective to all the things we did later in the week. Our pilot pointed out, as we flew over, where the President usually vacations, where Gilligan's Island was filmed, where Jurrasic Park was filmed, the Marine base, the closed, dangerous falls, the plantations, the North shore and Sunset Beach, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and flew us on the same approach the Japanese took in 1941 across Hickam and Wheeler Fields and down onto Pearl Harbor. Brodie, our pilot is a former Marine stationed on Oahu. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. Brodie spotted two Grey Whales off the North shore, flew out a bit and did some orbits over them so we could all see them. My wife forgot her light jacket, so a ground employee lent his hoodie to her. Absolutely magnificent!

ニューハーフ二人で体験しました。
最初はドキドキでセスナに乗り込んだ瞬間、辞めとけば・・・って気持ちになったけど、もう空の上。
担当のインストラクター、カメラマンが気持ちをほぐそうとギャグ?を交えて声をかけてくれるけど、のちのちのDVDを見て、ガチガチに緊張してるのがわかるほどでした。
グループの1番目、いやおうなく飛び出しました。
フリーフォールの1分間、あまりの美しさに息をするのを忘れるほど。
パラシュートが開いた時は思わず目を閉じてしまいましたが、そこから先は夢のような時間でです。
終わってしまえば、本当にあっという間。一生に一度とは良くいいますが、一度と言わず二度三度、何回でも経験したいひとときでした。
美しい海、空、緑。くじらまで迎えてくれますよ。
