All Reviews for For 7 Year Olds

The waves were really strong, and I got seasick. It's a shame I couldn't swim with the dolphins even though I encountered them. It was great that I could get on the boat with a wheelchair. I wasn't sure where the barbecue lunch was held.

波が凄く酔ってしまいました
イルカと遭遇できたのに一緒に泳げなかったのが残念でした。車椅子でも船に乗る事が出来たのは良かったです。バーベキューランチは何処で行って頂けていたのか？分かりませんでした。

I participated in the afternoon tour. Since we drove down into the canyon, I was able to enjoy horseback riding in nature. Along the way, I encountered wild horses.

午後のツアーに参加しました。渓谷を車で降りるので、自然のなかで乗馬が楽しめました。
途中で野生の馬に遭遇凍ました。

Once in lifetime trip with my parents (both in 70s but fit). We went to the ranch (a little hard to find), drove down with the guides in a 4 wheeler......quite a drive. A very scenic but bumpy 30 minute ride to stables, another 30 minutes to get the whole party mounted up on horseback, and then a leisurely 2+ hours trek through magical lush green landscape, splashing through streams and seeing wild horses grazing, surrounded by towering cliffs and occasional waterfalls.

Only issue -- you won't really hear the guides once you start going. So do some reading up on Waipio vallyet beforehand, and then just enjoy what you are seeing. My mom has never been on horseback, my dad maybe 40 years ago, and they did just fine.

I participated with my 4.5-year-old child, and they provided us with kids' masks and boards with viewing windows, which allowed my daughter to enjoy herself.

There was a decent variety and number of fish, and although the visibility was okay, I appreciated that we weren't trying to catch fish with sausages. The slide and diving board required just the right amount of courage, which was great. The restrooms on the boat were also clean.

The speed of speaking in English was fast, but they provided important information on a paper written in Japanese, so I felt there were no issues at all. (My language skills are at a level where I can manage basic conversations in English.)

We received plenty of snacks and fruits, the timing was just right, and dolphins swam alongside us on the way back, so I think the affordable afternoon plan was a good choice.

4歳半の子どもと参加しましたが、キッズ用マスクや、覗き窓つきボードを貸していただき、娘も楽しむことができました。

そこそこの種類と数の魚、透明度でしたが、ソーセージで魚集めるようなこともしていなかったので、好感がもてました。
滑り台や飛び込み台は、ほどよい勇気が必要なレベルで良かったです。
船内のトイレも清潔でした。

英語を喋るスピードは早いですが、重要事項は日本語で書いた紙を渡してくれますので、全く問題ないと感じました。(私の語学力は、軽く英会話ができる程度です)

スナックやフルーツも沢山頂け、時間も適当、イルカも帰りに並走してくれたので、値段が安い午後プランで良かったかなと思います。

Lovely staff, great experience - didn't get to see as many manta rays as I had wished though, but overall would recommend for anyone coming to Kona to have this experience! :)

My family and I had a great morning! We kayaked, snorkeled, and cliff jumped! The guides were super encouraging, fun and knowledgeable. I only wish I had a water proof case for my phone because now I have no pictures of our awesome time! (They sell cases at the ABC stores)

We experienced it together with our children. The submarine experience lasts about an hour. We used a Japanese guide, but it became annoying halfway through, so we stopped using it. The atmosphere created by the crew is enjoyable enough. If you can understand English, they also tell jokes along the way, which makes it even more fun.

子供も一緒に体験しました。潜水艦は1時間位の体験です。日本語ガイドを使いましたが、途中から鬱陶しくなり、使わなかったです。クルーの雰囲気で十分楽しめます。英語のヒアリングができれば、途中冗談等も言ってくれるのでより楽しめると思います。

It was our first experience as a couple approaching our sixties. I was a bit worried about everything being in English, but it was a great help that another participant, a Japanese person with good English skills, acted as an interpreter. We paddled quite a distance along the quay. Along the way, we encountered wild dolphins—what a lucky surprise! They were swimming right in front of us, and it was astonishing. At the turnaround point, we landed and went snorkeling. The yellow fish were beautiful, and there were plenty of sea urchins. The waves were a bit rough, making the kayaking thrilling, but during calm times, it seems like it would be a relaxing experience.

還暦手前の夫婦での初体験でした。
すべてが英語の案内でどうなることかと思いましたが、他の参加者に英語力のある日本人に通訳していただき大変助かりました。結構な距離を岸壁沿いにこいでいきました。途中で野生のイルカ達と遭遇　ラッキーでした。目の前にわんさかウジャウジャって感じでビックリ。折り返し地点で上陸して、シュノーケリング。黄色い魚がきれいでした。雲丹もいっぱいいました。波がややあったのでスリルありのカヤックでしたが、穏やかな時はのんびりと楽しめそうです。

I participated on the last night of our stay. As mentioned in the comments, there were no other Japanese participants besides our family, and many older couples from Europe and America attended! However, the crew was very attentive, and we were able to enjoy the sunset comfortably! They shared stories about the history of Hawaii, but since we are not good at English, we didn't understand much. However, I think Japanese guests can participate with peace of mind! The food was buffet style and quite delicious. The main sunset was breathtaking! We were able to relax on the boat on our last night! One thing to note... the meeting point is at the local pier, and you cannot park your car at the pier, so be careful. I recommend parking at a nearby pay parking area around Kailua-Kona!

滞在最後の夜に参加させて頂きました。
コメントにあったように日本人の参加者は私ども家族以外はいらっしゃらず、欧米人の熟年夫婦が多く参加されてました！
でもクルーの皆さんも気にかけて頂きとても快適にサンセンセットを堪能できます！
ハワイの歴史のお話など教えて下さいますが、英語が苦手な私達はサッパリ意味は分からずでしたが日本の方も安心して参加できると思います！
食事はビュッフェスタイルですが、中々美味しかったです。
メインのサンセットは感動モノ‼︎
最後の夜に船上でゆっくりと過ごす事が出来ました！
一点…集合が現地桟橋集合で、桟橋に車を止められませんので注意が必要です。
近くのカイルアコナ周辺のペイパーキングに駐車する事を勧めます！

Since it's a valley, there is no signal at all. I couldn't display the voucher, but I was able to participate properly. If you're going to Waipi'o, you should definitely print out the voucher. The tour was a series of breathtaking moments. Horseback riding in such a stunning landscape. I want to go again. I wonder how my horse, Holoholo, is doing.

渓谷なので電波が全く入りません。
voucher表示できなかったけど、ちゃんと参加できました。ワイピオに行くならvoucherはプリントアウトしとくべきですね。
ツアーは感動の連続でした。絶景の中の乗馬。また行きたいです。私が乗馬したホロホロ元気かなぁ

Our first family trip with my spouse and our parents, a total of six people! There wasn't a specific dress code, but many people wore dresses or collared shirts.

Just before the reception, there was a shell lei gift. If you want a lei that looks like a black stone, there is an additional charge. Further ahead, there was a photographer who took pictures and came around to sell them during the show. We declined the photo session and proceeded to the reception.

Unless you pay a special additional fee, you will be guided to seats in front of the stage in the order of reception. Since we arrived just before 5:30 PM, the front seats were already taken, and we ended up in the back. When going to get food, they also guide people to the front seats first. The only soft drink available was fruit punch, and the only other option was lemon water. Since I can't drink alcohol, I would have preferred a more varied drink menu. Our parents enjoyed buying various beers and had a great time drinking.

The food was delicious, and we were all full. The show took place at the beginning and end of the meal. It was a dinner show that was longer and more substantial than we expected, and the whole family was very satisfied.

私たち夫婦と両家の親の6人での初家族旅行！特にドレスコードはありませんがワンピースの方や襟付きシャツの方が多かったです。
受付をする手前でシェルレイのプレゼントが。黒い石？みたいなレイが欲しい場合は追加料金がかかります。更に前に進むと今度はカメラマンが立っていて撮った写真を現像してショーの合間に売りに来ます。
私たちは写真撮影をお断りしてそのまま受付へ。
特別追加料金を払わない限り受付順にステージ前側の席へ案内されます。
私たちは17:30直前に着いたため、案の定ステージ前側の席はもう埋まっていて一番後ろの席に。食事を取りに行くのも前側の席の方から順番に案内されます。ソフトドリンクはフルーツポンチしかなくあとはレモン水を飲むしかなかった。お酒が飲めないのでもっと充実したドリンクメニューが良かったです。親たちは色んなビールを買って楽しく飲んでいました。
食事はどれも美味しく満腹になりました。
ショーは食事の最初と最後にありました。思っていた以上に長く中身の詰まったディナーショーで家族みんな大満足でした。

The hula dance and fire dance shows were enjoyable to watch. Even my 4-year-old seemed to have fun and was imitating the dances when we returned to the hotel. As for the food, it might be better not to have high expectations.

After the show, we were able to take free photos with the dancers.

フラダンス、ファイヤーダンス等ショーは楽しく見ることができました。
4歳児も楽しめたようで、ホテルに帰って真似して踊っていました。
お料理は、あまり期待しないほうが良いかもしれません。

ショーが終わってからダンサーの方と無料でお写真を撮っていただけました。

We headed to a beautiful spot by boat. Since we departed in the afternoon, I was worried about the rain, but by the time we arrived at the spot, the rain had stopped and we were able to see many beautiful fish. There were also plenty of sea urchins. There was a slide, and everyone was having a great time. The snacks, juice, and fruit were very delicious, and my grandchild was very satisfied. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

船で美しいポイントまで向かいます。午後出発だったので雨が降り心配でしたが、ポイントについたころには雨もやみ美しい魚をたくさん見ることができました。ウニもたくさん。滑り台もあり、皆さん楽しんでいました。軽食のスナック、ジュース、フルーツがとても美味しくて、孫も大満足。またチャンスがあれば参加したいです。

The luau show seems to be quite popular, and when I arrived 30 minutes early, there was already a line. Before it started, a beautiful rainbow appeared, which was lucky. Unfortunately, there was some rain during the show, but it was just a passing shower, so I managed. I wore the poncho they handed out to enjoy the performance. The food was buffet-style, and drinks were all-you-can-drink. The dishes had a distinctly Hawaiian flavor. Before the show, we could see the whole pig being brought out and learn some simple hula dance moves. Since we were seated with people from various countries, I made friends with a Canadian next to me and had a great time.

ルアウショーは人気のようで受付30分前に行ったのですが、すでに列が出来ていました。
始まる前には虹も綺麗に出ていてラッキー。
途中あいにくの雨でしたが、通り雨なので我慢。配られたカッパを着て鑑賞しました。
料理はブッフェスタイル、ドリンクは飲み放題でした。料理はハワイらしい味です。
ショーの前には、豚の丸焼きを取り出すところや、簡単なフラの踊り方なども見ることが出来ます。
色々な国な人との相席なので、となりのカナダ人と仲良くなり楽しい時間を過ごせました。

The weather on the day was mostly cloudy with some sunny intervals, which I think was just perfect for kayaking on the sea. It was my first time kayaking, but the boarding instructions were explained carefully in Japanese, and although the main guide was a foreigner, there was a Japanese support staff present, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy the experience. The kayak was a two-person one, and the person sitting in the back becomes the leader, so they might have to paddle more often. It felt great to glide over the sea while feeling the wind. The snorkeling was also delightful, as I found the fish swimming around to be quite cute.

当日は晴れ間の多い曇りっぽいお天気で、海の上でのカヤックにはちょうど良いお天気だったように思います。はじめてのカヤックでしたが乗車の説明など日本語で丁寧に説明していただき、メインガイドの方は外国人の方でしたが、サポートに日本人の方がいらして下さったので安心して楽しむことができました。カヤックは二人乗りのもので後ろに乗る方がリーダーになるので漕ぐ回数が多いのかも？しれません。海の上をすべるようにカヤックが進む感じは風を感じながら気持ちよかったです。シュノーケリングもお魚が泳ぐ姿がかわいかったです。

This was a great tour. We enjoyed historic areas as well as a honey farm, and coffee plantation. The painted church, St. Benedict's, was awesome and our guide, V.... was knowledgeable about all we visited as well as the culture of the island.

I was a bit anxious about having a guide in English, but they demonstrated everything from how to paddle the kayak to how to get in and out. They communicated with gestures, so I hardly had to use English at all.

From the meeting point at the port, we paddled the kayak for about an hour until we reached the snorkeling point, where we had a light snack (like crackers). After enjoying snorkeling for about 40 minutes, we paddled back to the port. It was a lot of fun.

One challenge was finding the meeting place, but in the end, it was at the port in front of the public restroom (the place to launch the kayak).

英語でのガイドとのことで少し不安に思っていましたが、
カヤックの漕ぎ方から乗り降りの仕方まで、実践して見せてくれましたし、
身振り手振りでコミュニケーションを図ってもらいましたので、
特に、英語を使う場面はほとんどありませんでした。
集合場所の港から、そのままカヤックを１時間ぐらい漕いで、
シュノーケルポイントについたら軽食（クラッカーなど）後、
シュノーケルを40分程楽しんだのち、またカヤックを漕いで
港まで帰るというコースでしたが、十分、楽しめました。
その他としては集合場所がわからずに苦労しましたが、結局は、
公衆トイレの前の港（カヤックを下ろすところ）でした。

I arrived early, but along the road, there were locals fishing, and I could only park one car at a distance. When we gathered near the sign at 6:40 AM, we were asked to sign the usual disclaimer stating that they do not guarantee anything and that we are responsible for ourselves.

After that, there was a brief explanation of kayaking, some stretching exercises, and the distribution of life jackets before we quickly entered the sea. There were five of us in total, but without any options, two-person kayaks were provided. Some participants were paired with a guide.

As someone in my 40s and this being my second kayaking experience, I found it challenging to make progress once we were out in the open sea due to the waves, and I kept getting left behind. If you're going on a tour that takes you into a cave, I think you need to be quite prepared for a significant distance to kayak.

In the morning, Mount Farahrai was clearly visible, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. After kayaking, we returned and were lent snorkeling sets, but it felt like we were just told to explore the bay on our own, which isn't suitable for beginners. There weren't many fish, and the water depth was about 5 meters, which was disappointing.

At night, manta rays come to the same spot. The explanation was given by a Japanese woman, but her condescending attitude left a less than favorable impression. The tour was short, ending by 8:30.

早めに到着しましたが、道路沿いは釣りをしている地元の方か、車が止められず離れた場所に一台ギリギリ駐車できました。
早朝6:40に看板の下付近に集合すると、おきまりの保証しません、自己責任ですのサインをさせられます。
その後簡単なカヤックの説明、体操、ライフジャケットの貸し出しがありすぐに海に入ります。全員で5名でしたが、希望もなく二人乗りのカヤックが用意されていました。ガイドとの同乗の方もいました。
40代でカヤック二回目ですが、海の沖にでると波もありなかなか進まないためどんどん置いていかれてしまいます。
洞窟の中まで行くツアーの場合はかなりの距離をカヤックで移動するので相当の覚悟が必要だと思います。
朝はファラライ山がくっきりとキレイに見えて景色は最高に良かったです。
カヤックが終わると一度もどりシュノーケルセットを貸し出してもらい勝手に湾内へどうぞという感じのため初心者には向きません。
魚もあまりおらず、水深も5mくらいはあるためがっかりでした。
夜は同じ場所にマンタが来ます。
日本人女性の説明でしたが、上から目線で印象今ひとつでした。8:30には終了の短いツアーでした。

At the reception, I unexpectedly had a bougainvillea lei placed around my neck, and I thought, "This is Hawaii!" I quenched my thirst with a Blue Hawaii from the premium seats and enjoyed a buffet-style dinner. The luau and hula show progressed with the host's witty narration and singing, and the audience participated in hula dancing, which energized the venue. Held in the garden of the Hilton Ocean Tower, by the end of the show, stars were shining above the tall palm trees, and the fatigue from the time difference seemed to dissipate completely.

受付で思いがけなくブーゲンビリアのレイを首にかけてもらい、「ハワイだ！」と実感がわく。プレミアムシートでブルーハワイなどでのどを潤し、ビュッフェスタイルの夕食を頂く。ルアウ＆フラのショーは司会者の軽妙な語りと歌を交えながら進行し、観客参加のフラダンスで会場が盛り上がる。ヒルトンのオーシャンタワーの庭で開催され、ショーが終わるころには、高いヤシの木の上に星が輝き、時差の疲れが一気に霧散するようだった。

I thought my 3-year-old daughter would definitely cry and not want to touch anything, but at first, she was in my arms, and gradually she started reaching out and touching things on her own! By the end, she wanted to touch even more! Since it was in English, the level was just right for her! I definitely want to participate again next time!

絶対こわーいと泣いて触らないだろうと
思っていた3歳の娘が、最初こそ抱っこでしたが
徐々に勝手に手を伸ばして触っていました！！
そして最後にはもっと触りたかったー！と。
英語だったのでウィートッツのレベルで
ちょうどよかったです！次回もまたぜひ参加したいです！

I couldn't see many fish while snorkeling, but the boat service was excellent. The boat's restroom was clean, and of course, drinks were included, along with unlimited food from breakfast to lunch, which was a great value.

スノーケルで魚はあまり見えなかったですが、船のサービスは最高でした。船のトイレも綺麗だったし、飲み物は勿論、朝ご飯から昼ごはんまで全て放題でコスパ最高でした。

We enjoyed this activity very much. We were the only ones on the boat so we had a very personal tour.

My son and I had the best time ever. The instructors/guides were experienced and made the ride exciting. The water fall swim was perfect.... Can't wait to get back to Hawaii to experience their ziplines.

Please be sure to pack a separate set of cloths because it can get very messy....

There were few Japanese people, and many locals... The show that starts with the entrance of Kamehameha was quite good. It wasn't very large, but it was compactly organized, and we could see well. The food was Hawaiian, and it was delicious. The show featured hula dances that told the story of humans being born from taro, hula dedicated to Kamehameha, and hula from various islands like Tahiti and New Zealand... all were skillful and full of highlights. I highly recommend this luau when visiting the Big Island.

日本人が少なくて、地元の方多し。。。カメハメハの入場から始まるショーはなかなかよいです。そんなに広くありませんでしたが、コンパクトにまとまっており、よく見れました。食事もハワイアンフードでしたが、おいしかったです。ショーもタロイモから人間が生まれ、カメハメハに捧げるフラ、そしてタヒチ、ニュージー等々の各諸島のフラ、、どれも上手で見どころ満点でした。ハワイ島の際はぜひおすすめしたいルアウです。

This was my first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, and I participated in the much-talked-about night manta ray tour. I chose this particular tour among several options because the price included a wetsuit and was relatively reasonable, the boat ride to the snorkeling point was short, and there was a 7-day guarantee in case we didn't encounter any manta rays.

On the day of the tour, I went to the office to check in and then traveled to the boarding point, which was about a 5-minute drive away. There, I was able to rent a wetsuit and snorkeling gear. My husband borrowed prescription goggles. We set sail during sunset and quickly arrived at the snorkeling point. Aside from us, everyone else on the tour was from abroad, with about 30 participants in total. The instructions were given only in English, but it wasn't a problem at all. The staff members were very friendly and made the experience enjoyable.

The night ocean was incredibly mystical. Holding onto the floatation device and looking down, manta rays soon appeared. Over the course of about 50 minutes, 5 to 6 manta rays came by, showcasing their graceful movements. They were so adorable that I lost track of time, and everyone was super excited! My husband seemed ready to get out, but I wanted to keep watching forever. We returned to the dock in about 5 minutes, and I didn't feel the cold I had worried about at all. It was a thoroughly satisfying night.

今回初めてのハワイ島旅行、話題の夜のマンタツアーに参加しました。いくつかある同企画の中からこちらのツアーを選んだ理由は、ウェットスーツ込みの価格が比較的リーズナブルなこと、岸からポイントまでの乗船時間が短いこと、非遭遇時の7日間保証があることです。
当日、自分で事務所へ行き受付を済ませ、かなり離れた乗船ポイントまで行きます(車で5分)。そこでウェットスーツやシュノーケルセットを借りられます。主人は度付きのゴーグルを貸してもらいました。夕焼けの中、出航。すぐにポイントに到着。私達夫婦以外は全て外国の方。全部で30人位参加していました。説明は英語オンリーでしたが、特に困ることもありません。スタッフの方達はとてもフレンドリーで、楽しませてくれました。
夜の海はとても神秘的です。浮き具につかまり下を覗くと、すぐにマンタがやってきてくれました。50分程の間に5〜6頭やってきては、華麗な舞を披露してくれました。可愛くて、時間の経つのも忘れ、みんな大興奮‼︎ 主人はそろそろ上がりたかったみたいですが、私はいつまでもいつまでも見ていたかったです。帰りも5分程で船着場に到着。心配していた寒さも感じず、大満足の夜でした。

My 4-year-old son and my husband participated. My husband seemed to enjoy it more than my son. It was also nice that there were staff members who could speak a little Japanese.

4歳の息子と旦那が参加しました。
息子よりも旦那の方が楽しそうでした。
日本語を少し話せるスタッフが対応してくれたのも良かったです。

Last year, I had my first experience and it was so much fun, so I relied on you again this year.

This time, I planned to go snorkeling on the Big Island, so I prepared my gear and came. Kayaking allowed me to feel the sensation of being surrounded by the blue sea and blue sky even more than last year. It was really enjoyable.

I was also able to enjoy snorkeling with more ease than last year.

Once again, I really appreciated the guidance from Noni. Thank you very much.

The snorkeling spots you recommended were amazing!! I went to the beach every day.

This year, I thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing vacation on the Big Island with the beach, pool, naps, and reading (with a beer occasionally).

I look forward to next year as well.

昨年、初体験してとても楽しかったので、今年もお世話になりました。

今回はハワイ島でのシュノーケリングも予定していたので、装備も揃えて伺いました。カヤックは、青い海と青い空に包まれるような感覚を、今年は昨年以上に体感できました。ほんとに楽しかったです。

シュノーケリングでも昨年より、余裕を持って楽しむことができました。

昨年に引き続き、ガイドのノニさんにはほんとにお世話になりました。
ありがとうございました。

また教えていただいたシュノーケリングスポットも最高！！
連日でビーチに通いました。

今年はビーチ、プール、昼寝、読書（たまにビール）と、
のんびりしたハワイ島の休暇を満喫しました。

来年もよろしくお願いいたします。

We participated as a family of three: my 7-year-old son, my 11-year-old son, and their father. The price was high, so their mother decided not to join... but since she could film from the observation area, it turned out to be better for her not to participate!

We started with a 15-minute lecture about dolphins at the learning center, and then we went to the pool. They provided life jackets and goggles. There were two families of three, making a total of six people in our group. There were a few times we had to wait, but overall, we spent about 30 minutes in the pool, which was longer than we expected, and the kids were satisfied.

Compared to snorkeling tours to see wild dolphins, I think the price is indeed high. We were able to take a lot of photos, but the cost for purchasing the data was $55 for two photos and $155 for all, which is quite expensive. However, I felt it was a good choice since I was scared to take small children out into the ocean.

7歳、11歳の息子と父親、３人で参加しました。
料金が高かったので、母は参加を断念…でも見学スペースから動画の撮影ができたので、記録係としてはかえって参加しなくてよかったです！

はじめにラーニングセンターで15分ほどイルカについてのレクチャーを受け、その後プールへ。
ライフジャケットとゴーグルは貸してもらえます。
3人家族×2組の6人が同じグループでした。
途中、待たされる時間などがちょくちょくありましたが、プールに入ってから帰ってくるまで30分くらいと思っていたより長く、子供達も満足していました。

野生のイルカを見るシュノーケリングツアーと比べるとやはり値段は高いなと思います。写真もたくさん撮ってもらえましたが、データ購入代は2枚で55ドル、全部購入で155ドルと、結構な高額です。
ただ小さな子供を沖に出すのは怖かったので、こちらを選んで良かったと思います。

Only English explanation.
There were 11 participants with two veteran female staff members. My 10-year-old son fell off the horse but was only slightly injured and was able to continue. We proceeded slowly, and while the horses were gentle, there were risks due to the height. He seemed to have fun, so it turned out well in the end.

英語説明のみです。
スタッフはベテラン女性2人に対して、参加者11人でした。
息子10才落馬しましたが、軽傷で続行出来ました。ゆっくりすすみ、馬はおとなしいですが、高さがあるので危険はつきます。本人も楽しかったそうなので、結果オーライでした

I had a hard time finding the barn at Waipi'o on Horseback. I thought there was a sign on the right side of the road, but it was actually on the left. I didn't realize it and ended up passing by and going all the way to the lookout. It's 11 miles from Honokaa on Highway 240, about 2 miles before the lookout.

After gathering at the barn, we descended into Waipi'o Valley for 20 minutes in a 4WD. We were advised to carry as little as possible, so I left my belongings in the rental car.

I joined an English tour with 8 people, but since there were 6 Japanese participants, the guide spoke in broken Japanese, saying things like "dangerous" and "left." However, all the documents and explanations about the trees during the tour were in English. They also took photos along the way, so a camera is a must. I was told that the 4WD wouldn't be locked, so while valuables shouldn't be brought, I wish I had brought a drink.

The horseback riding lasted about an hour. The horses calmly crossed rough paths and fast-flowing rivers. It was a unique experience that I really enjoyed.

ワイピオオンホースバックの納屋を探すのに苦労しました。道路右手に看板があると思ったら、実際は左手。気づかず通り過ぎて展望台まで行ってしまいました。ホノカアから240号で11マイル先、展望台から2マイル手前です。
納屋で集合した後、ワイピオ渓谷を4WDで20分下ります。荷物は極力持たないようにとのことでしたのでレンタカーに置いていきました。
8名の英語ツアーに参加しましたが、日本人が6名でしたのでガイドの方はアブナイ、ヒダリとかカタコトの日本語で話してくれます。ただ書類やツアー中の木々の説明は全て英語です。途中で写真も撮ってくれるのでカメラは必須です。移動する4WDは鍵をかけないとのことでしたので、貴重品はだめですがドリンクは持参すればよかったと思いました。
乗馬の時間は1時間くらいです。足場の悪い道や流れの速い川を馬は平然と渡って行きます。普段経験出来ないことなので、大変楽しかったです。
