A full package

Reviewed by: Varpu M, 2023/11/12

The guide was great and shared loads of interesting facts and stories about history, nature, culture, language, habits and astronomy. His knowledge and captivating way of presenting things were amazing. I also highly appreciate his deep respect towards the Hawaiian culture.
The trip was organized very professionally. The warm parkas were also highly appreciated.

I highly recommend this service.

Hawaii Waterfall Swim Adventure, Waipio Valley Lookout & Botanical Garden

Drew's the best!

Reviewed by: Tricia , 2023/11/08

The six if us had a great time with Drew who kept us entertained while ensuring we understood the historical and cultural importance of many of the sites we visited. The dad jokes were appreciated over the course of the day travelling from Kona to Hilo and points in-between. The consensus highlight was the swim in the waterfall pool. Even the weather cooperated. Fabulous day! Mahalo Drew!

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

ナイスビュー

Reviewed by: けんしろう, 2023/11/05

初めて乗馬体験をしました。
すべて英語での説明で、ほかに参加されていた方も外国の方のみでしたので、全部は聞き取れずちょっと不安もありましたが大変楽しむことができました。

馬に乗り草原を歩いたり、途中走らせたり、
坂道を登ったり、ハラハラしながらも大変楽しかったです。
牧場の横を歩き牛や馬を眺めていると、遠くには野生のブタも見えました。
天気が良かったこともあり、景色も良く最後、海側や山をバックに写真も撮っていただき良い記念になりました。空と草原の色のコントラストがとてもきれいで最高でした。(日焼け注意・・)

ありがとうございました。

Amazing Experience

The entire experience start to finish was amazing. Wes was our guide and driver and took the time to explain what to expect and educate all of us on the island and the history of Hawai’i! I would recommend this tour to anybody who would like to enjoy the beautiful Mauna Kea! Wes also took the time to take photos of us at sunset and stargazing!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Above and Beyond!

Reviewed by: Sandra McCaffrey, 2023/11/01

Our guide Gabe (I think that was his name - sorry if I’m mistaken!) was superb.

He picked us up near our condo and the van was very nice and spacious. We had 5 adults and were very comfortable.

The drive up he pointed out things of interest, answered any questions and was just overall very upbeat, fun and informative.

He was great up to this point but he crossed over to superb when my mom got altitude sickness. He was constantly checking on her, giving her sickness bags, anti-nausea meds and overall just very attentive.

He very professionally handled both her and the rest of the guests.

Will definitely book with this company and guide again.

Deluxe Big Island ATV Tour & Waterfall Swim at Umauma Falls

Great experience!

Reviewed by: AnnL, 2023/10/28

My hubby and I wanted to try this ATV experience since we enjoyed a similar one on Kauai the previous year and it did not disappoint!

Going through the trails and seeing the sites were completely beautiful. The private little waterfall/lagoon was also refreshing after being covered with the dust from the trail.

The one thing I would have liked is a bandana to cover the lower half of my face because the dust got all up in every crevice.

Comments from activity operators

Hi Ann,
Thank you for your 5-Star review and your comment. We did sell bandannas at one point but I guess we sold out. We'll get on it! Thank you!

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

大自然の中で乗馬体験

Reviewed by: KI, 2023/10/25

午前の1時間半コースに参加しました。ワイコロアのホテルから45分程度、レンタカーでの移動が最適です。
英語での案内で、ゆっくりと分かりやすく話してくれます。
最初に流れと書類記入、注意事項などの案内があり、その後乗馬の仕方についてレクチャーしてくれ、最初から最後まで一緒に付いてくれます。
最初はゆっくりと歩き、途中スピードを出して良いスポットでスピードを出して楽しめました。
草原、山、海と大自然を見ながらの乗馬は最高の体験でした。

Deluxe Big Island ATV Tour & Waterfall Swim at Umauma Falls

ATV n Swim Beautiful

Reviewed by: Stepheeee, 2023/10/19

You need to check this out if you are not an experienced ATV rider, the tour guides are very patient and chill.
You will arrive to a beautiful area, check in, bet your gear and go over a few house rules. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO USE THE PROVIDED GOOGLES (not your sunglasses)! The road gets pretty dirt heavy and become difficult to see.
It's a short ride but they take you to a small water hole where you are given the opportunity to jump off the rock and into the water and afterwards a drive back.

Wear something that you can get dirty, do not wear white and do not bring items you do not want to get dirty. The dirt is like a clay color and sticks.

Our tours guides were great ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

馬がみなよく慣れていて扱いやすく、雄大な景色が素晴らしかったです

Reviewed by: むらひろ, 2023/09/25

ちょっと早めの9時過ぎにチェックインした際にパーキングのゲートが閉まっていたので少し戸惑いましたが、受付後はスムーズにヘルメット、ブーツ、上着のレンタルを受けて、ガイドさんに馬を選んでもらって乗り込むところまではすぐでした。
ランチの広大な敷地をガイドに沿って馬と共に進むのはとても爽快でした。
私の馬は立髪がおしゃれにシマシマになったOliver、妻は栗毛のVodka、どちらもいい馬でした
途中ガイドのジェシカが写真を撮ってくれたりして
時間は予定より少し超過して11時過ぎに帰着となりました。
とても良い思い出になりました

90分乗馬

Reviewed by: なんだかんだパンダ, 2023/09/24

英語も苦手、乗馬も初めて、だけどアッと言う間の90分でした。
最高の景色の草原をパカパカゆっくり巡って、最後の50メートルを少々スピードを上げて走って多少お尻が痛かったが、とっても楽しかった!
振り返ると虹が出ていて、心が更に晴れました。
日本人はチップを払う風習がありませんが、10%程度の一人10ドル×家族3人分を気持ち良くお渡ししました。

今回初めて参加しました。乗馬自体も初めてだったので少し不安でしたが参加することに決めました。今回は私たちだけが参加だったようでガイドさん独り占めでいきました。私は乗馬初めてなのでまず馬の制御に気を取られていましtが景色は雄大でゆっくり進んでくれるので楽しめました。聞こえてくるのは風の音だけ。見えるのは草原と眼下に見える海、草を食べている牛たちのみ。
日本では味わえないリラックス感でした。今度来た時も絶対参加します。

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

最高でした

Reviewed by: sakusaku, 2023/09/05

広々とした牧場と青い空の中での乗馬はとても気持ちがよかったです。馬がとても賢いので、初心者の私達も楽しむことができました。
ガイドは若い女性二人で、馬に乗る姿がとてもかっこよかったです。高所のせいなの午後だったからなのか私達が参加した日は風が強く半袖では少し寒いと感じました。
集合場所は、行き方の補足説明(マイルマーカー「11」を過ぎて右側にでてくる『カフアランチ』の入り口からお入りください。)を意識しておかないとちょっとわかりにくいかな、と思いました。道路から敷地に入り、その先の駐車場の入口には簡易的な扉があり、自分で開けて入るスタイルだったので、「ここでいいのかなあ・・」とちょっと躊躇してしまいました。先着してた方々の車が止まっていなかったら引き返したかも、と思いました。
乗馬前の説明は英語のみですが、苦手な私でも意味はなんとなくわかりました。日本人観光客が多いのかもしれません。この時は10人中8人は日本人(日本人3家族と英語圏のカップルが1組)でした。
牧場なので平らなところばかりではなく、坂道があったり、牛が放牧されている直ぐ側を通ったりと自然を満喫できました。

Hawaii ATV Ride Tour at Kohala Coast - Sea to Mountain Off-Road Adventure

THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP!

Reviewed by: Ahmed Mizyed , 2023/09/02

No hate on other tour places and I def seen a few but the tour guides, the views and the experience is def #1 on this tour. I did a lot of extensive research and finalized this tour but it definitely exceeded my expectations. The views they take you on are incredible. I mean you will probably never see anything like it on any other tour. We actually seen another ATV tour on our ziplining adventure tour and I'm so glad I chose this one. Other tours are shorter and don't have the exciting adventure this one gives you. You are literally driving through a farm/valley/on the coast and then to a private water fall. You get fresh fruit picked off the trees guys its amazing Im telling you. If you are having trouble deciding I will decide for you THIS ONE IS IT! The tour guides gave us so much info, they were funny, gave us such a big history lesson and overall they just made this memorable. I wish i chose this company for my ziplining adventure as well. But you live and learn. Overall had a blast and def recommend. Also: Not to far from Kona and the views on the drive here are amazing.

普段は怖がりの娘も楽しさ満喫

Reviewed by: haratomo, 2023/09/01

1.5時間プランに参加しました。
乗馬と言ったら、これまで日本でほんの10分程度、それも係員付き添いのものしか経験したのことない、怖がりの15歳の娘ですが、このツアーは上機嫌で楽しみ、一人で乗れたことに自信もついたようです。
コハラコーストのすてきな景色と、目の前に広がるハワイアンブルーの空と海、その向こうにかすかに見えたマウイ島に大満足です。

車では入り口が少しわかりにくいので、google マップで確認しながら、行かれると良いと思います。

Twilight Volcano Tour with Stargazing, Black Sand Beach & Coffee Farm

A lovely day around the southern part of the Big Island

Reviewed by: Sandrine, 2023/08/27

My partner and I went on this tour with Aaron. He was a fantastic tour guide, with lots of interesting tidbits about the history of the island and plenty of jokes. He also offered to take plenty of photos of us at all the stops. A huge thank you to him for remaining so cheerful and helpful after such a long day. If it was a long day for us, I can't imagine how long it was for him.

The tour was exactly what's stated in the description. We chose to do the tour in part because we weren't certain how to navigate Volcano National Park, and the tour offered highlights of the Park. After the tour though, I wish we had had more time on the island so we could explore Volcano National Park ourselves. Two hours wasn't nearly enough. If you're lucky (we unfortunately weren't), there will be lava at the Park. But don't worry, the volcanoes on Hawaii won't kill you, but bad tour guide jokes will (thank you for that one Aaron!).

Another highlight was Punalu'u Bake Shop. Try the pineapple malasadas: you won't regret it! I was initally hesitant because I'm not a fan of pineapple not in its raw form/juice, but the pineapple malasada was the best of those we ordered. I wish we got more. The passionfruit (lilikoi) and apple ones were also delicious.

After the bakery, we went to Punalu'u Black Sand Beach. It's absolutely lovely and a nice chance to see the endangered Hawaiian sea turtles up close. It's also very picturesque. Just don't get too close to the waves or you'll get very wet.
We finished the tour with stargazing.

Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a quick, yet interesting and surprisingly thorough, tour of the southern part of the Big Island. If/when we go back, we would book with Wasabi Tours again.

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

プライスレスな体験、最高です。 家族旅行で初めて乗馬しました。

Reviewed by: はちはちハワイ, 2023/08/26

ハワイ島の乗馬は、以前から興味ありましたが、ビーチやキラウエアへの観光でタイミングが合いませんですたが、ようやく乗馬にTRYすることができました。
当日はコハラ牧場方面も非常に天気が良く最高な条件でした。
少し心配しましたが、日本語説明書もあり、全く問題ありませんでした。
まず、担当のスタッフからの説明があり、馬の乗馬姿勢、操作方法を聞いて、体型を見ながら馬さんを選んでランディング、それからはお馬さんにおまかせ。
非常に良くしつけられており、ほぼ全く問題なく乗馬初体験できました。1.5時間の体験コースでしたが、2時間ぐらいの乗馬となりました。
雄大な自然と最高な景色、ヤミツキになりそうです。
予約も旅行前から簡単にできました。
最高の時間をありがとうございました。

お客さんの中で怖くて泣いている小学生の男の子がいましたが、スタッフがつきっきりで乗馬されてましたが、全くトラブルなく乗馬できておりました。
