A wonderful experience ステキな体験

This was my second sunset and stargazing tour. Just like last time, we were blessed with good weather and had a wonderful time. The explanations about the stars were very clear and easy to understand.

二回目のサンセットと星空ツアーでした。
前回同様天候に恵まれ、ステキな時間を過ごせました。
星空は色々解説頂いたのでわかりやすかったです。

ハワイ島 シュノーケルクルーズ SUP体験もできる充実ツアー!貸し切りプランあり<午前/朝食・昼食付き> by フラカイ号

It was a comfortable and enjoyable cruising and snorkeling experience. 快適で楽しいクルージング&シュノーケリングでした

Reviewed by: たけしー

Before participating, I had some concerns…
- Would the restrooms be cramped and dirty?
- Would it be uncomfortable on the boat?

There were no problems at all!
The restrooms were about the size of those in a one-room apartment in Tokyo, and there were two of them, making them very easy to use.
The boat was spacious, and the distance between guests was just right.

About 30 minutes after departure, we had our first cruising and breakfast!
The sea was beautiful, and we went snorkeling in a spot where the depth was about 12 to 15 meters.
It was my first time snorkeling in a place where I couldn't touch the bottom, so I was a bit nervous.
For breakfast, there was a small buffet with bread, omelet, and yogurt loaded with fruits. The fruits were so delicious that I had seconds.

After staying there for about 40 minutes, we moved to the second snorkeling point for more snorkeling and lunch.
We even encountered sea turtles!!
For lunch, we had hamburgers, and we could choose our own toppings. It was incredibly delicious, and I was thrilled.

On the way back, we cruised under a completely clear blue sky and arrived on time.

I want to go again!

参加する前に心配だった点…
・トイレは狭くて汚くないか?
・船の上は窮屈じゃないか?

全然問題なかったです!
トイレは東京の1ルームアパートのトイレくらいの広さのものが2箇所に設置されていてとても使いやすかったです。
船の上も広く、他のお客さんとの距離も適度でした。

出発してから30分位いどうして最初のクルージング&朝食!
海がきれいで底までが12~15mくらいのところでシュノーケリングをしました。
足が届かないところでのシュノーケリングは初めてだったのでドキドキしました。
朝ごはんはパン、卵焼き、フルーツたっぷりのヨーグルトなど、小さなビュッフェ形式でした。フルーツが美味しくておかわりしちゃいました。

そこで40分位滞在してから2個めのシュノーケリングポイントに移動して、シュノーケリング&昼食
ウミガメにも出会えました!!
お昼のハンバーグ、トッピングを自分で選べました。すごく美味しくて感激しました。

帰りは雲ひとつない快晴の空の下をクルージング、定刻通り到着しました。

また行きたいです。

  • 特大ハンバーグ!肉肉しくて美味しかった

  • フルーツ、特にパイナップルが甘くて美味しい!

  • 遠くからは小さい船だなぁと思いましたが実際は広かったです

  • 座席が広くて座り心地も良くて過ごしやすかった

  • 雲ひとつない快晴

  • 島の上には雲が。青空と雲のコントラストが素敵

Mid-summer snow, summit closed. 真夏の雪、山頂閉鎖

Reviewed by: みどり

During the pickup, the guide informed us that the roads were closed due to snowfall and that cancellations were possible. On the way to the pickup, there were several groups who decided to cancel. We thought of this as an experience and continued on to the Onizuka Center. We waited while eating our lunch, hoping that the weather would clear up and the road would be reopened, but in the end, it was not.

After that, we hurriedly searched for a good spot to see the sunset and drove the van. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset and starry sky. The photos taken can be downloaded later.

Finally, we received a re-participation ticket valid for one year. It seems we need to apply directly on the website rather than through here, but I definitely want to challenge this again next year. Also, I was happy to meet BigJin, who helped us on a previous tour, after eight years.

お迎えの時にガイドさんから、降雪のため道路封鎖中、キャンセルも可とお話しいただきました。ピックアップの途中、キャンセルされる方も幾組あり。私たちは、これも何かの経験だと思い、そのままオニヅカセンターまで行きました。きれいに晴れてこのまま閉鎖が解除されるといいなとお弁当を食べながら待っていましたが、結局解除されず。
そのあと、サンセットを見るために、大急ぎできれいに見られる場所を探してバンを走らせました。おかげで美しいサンセットと星空を見ることができました。撮っていただいた写真はあとからダウンロードできます。
最後に、1年以内有効の再参加チケットをいただきました。こちらからではなく、直接サイトに申し込む必要があるそうですが、ぜひ、来年チャレンジしたいと思います。
あと、以前のツアーでお世話になったBigJinさんと8年ぶりにお会いできて、それがうれしかったです。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunrise & Stargazing Tour

Once-in-a-life kind of experience

Reviewed by: Shin Taniguchi

Many people say sunset is better than sunrise, but sunrise is great, too.
Even though we were on the tour about two days before the full-moon (meaning moonlight is very bright and moon doesn't set until about 5 in the morning), we could enjoy the gorgeous stars in the sky with decent explanation of the stars.
Sunrise was also gorgeous. It was no doubt one of the most beautiful scenaries I have ever seen in my life. Although we were lucky enough to see both stars and sunrise in good weather and it is said that we mostly see clear sky at the peak of Mauna Kea, you may have to keep in mind weather is always a variable you can never tell.

Our guides were good, with a lot of experience and knowledge, trying to do their best to make the tour enjoyable.

If you are okay to go to bed early on the day before and can wake up at 1:30 in the morning, it will let you spend your time more wisely because you have a whole day even after you come back from the tour. (we came back to the hotel around 8:30 am)

Also be noted that the temperature up there is very low. Especially because the weater in Hawaii is hot and you need to face the near-freezing-point weather on the same day, make sure to prepare warm clothes yourself. The ski jackets and pants they lend you will not be enough.

The staff at Masashi Nature School are the best. マサシネイチャースクールのスタッフは最高です。

Reviewed by: クマゴロウ

I wasn't able to see the moment the sun set, but the sunset was magical, and I experienced a little rain. I saw lightning in the clouds at my feet, which was a precious experience. The starry sky was amazing and became a lifelong memory. I left something in the car. I called the company the next day, and they immediately checked the car for me. They informed me that it would be picked up at my hotel the following day. The staff's efforts to entertain and their prompt problem-solving actions are truly commendable.

夕日が沈む瞬間は見ることができませんでしたが、夕焼けは幻想的で少ない雨も体験でき、足元の雲の中で稲光が光り、貴重な体験をいたしました。星空は最高で一生涯の思い出になりました。車に忘れ物をしてしまいました。翌日会社に電話をしましたが、すぐ車内を見てくださり、翌日滞在先のホテルでピックアップがあるとのことで届けてくださいました。スタッフの人を楽しませる努力と即問題解決に対応する行動は激賞に値します。

Dear Mr. Yama of Antlers,

Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour. We understand that the full moon may have limited your stargazing experience this time. We appreciate your hard work. Even if it’s not a new moon, there are many days when stargazing can be enjoyed before the moon rises!

A starry sky that feels like it's falling. 降るような星空

Reviewed by: ちびママ

We participated as a family of four. On the day of the event, we couldn't see the sunset due to the clouds, but the stargazing after moving to a different location was wonderful. After sunset, the stars began to appear one by one, and in the end, we were treated to a sky full of stars and the Milky Way. I was able to see two shooting stars with my own eyes for the first time. They really do exist!

I was amazed that we could drive all the way up to the summit at 4,200 meters. It was a valuable experience to see Japan's Subaru Telescope and observatories from various countries.

Additionally, as an apology for the delay in the hotel pickup, we received a small bag of Kona coffee, which made me feel the sincerity of their proper Japanese hospitality. I would love to join guide Tyler again!

家族4人で参加しました。
当日は雲の影響で、夕陽は見れませんでしたが、場所を移動しての天体観測は素晴らしかったです。
日没後、少しずつ星が現れ始め、最後は降るような星空と、天の川になりました。
流れ星も2つ?、生まれて初めて肉眼で確認出来ました。本当にあったんですね。
4200メートルの頂上まで車で行けるのが凄いと思いました。日本の昴展望台や、各国の観測所も見る事が出来て、貴重な体験でした。
また、ホテルのPick upが遅れたお詫びに、コナコーヒーの小袋をいただき、きちんとした日本的な対応で誠意を感じました。
ガイドのタイラさん、またご一緒したいです!

Reviewed by: あやこ

The long-awaited starry sky of Hawaii Island.
With only five days until the full moon, I was worried about whether I would be able to see it properly, but I was able to see incredibly beautiful stars.
The moonlight was bright, and I thought it might have been even more beautiful with a new moon or with the starry sky and sunrise.
The explanations about the stars were easy to understand and simply moving.
Dinner also came with miso soup! It was really delicious.
The sunset was beautiful, and the explanations about the stars were great. Above all, they took a lot of photos and provided them for free download later! They were far more beautiful than what I could take myself, and the guide was very good at talking! It was the Ishikawa group, and it was so interesting and fun. Keita and Masa were incredibly enjoyable! If I go to Hawaii Island again, I will definitely participate!

念願のハワイ島の星空。
満月まであと5日だったので、ちゃんと観れるか不安でしたが、すっごく綺麗な星観れました。
月明かりが明るくて新月か、星空と朝日だったらもっと綺麗だったかなと思いました。
星の説明もわかりやすくただただ感動。
夕飯も味噌汁付き!すごく美味しかった。
夕日も綺麗だし、星の説明も、なにより写真をたくさん撮ってくれてあとから無料でダウンロード!自分で撮るよりはるかに綺麗だし、ガイドさんが話し上手!いしかわ号でしたが、もう面白くて楽しくて。けいたさんとまささん、めちゃめちゃ楽しかった!またハワイ島に行ったら絶対に参加します!

They will pick you up at the hotel lobby around 2 PM.
It’s cold at the summit, but they provide warm clothing, so you don’t need to prepare anything special. They also lend gloves.
You will have your meal around 4 PM, but since I wasn't very hungry, I couldn't eat much. The miso soup was delicious.
After that, they will take photos at the observatory and other spots.

The sunset changes with the weather, so please pray for good weather that day!

As for stargazing, it was the day after the full moon, so the moon was quite bright, and I was told that the stars would quickly disappear, but I still enjoyed it thoroughly.

14時前後にホテルロビーに迎えに来てくれます。
山頂は寒いですが、上下の防寒具を貸してもらえるため、特にこちらでの対策は不要です。手袋も貸してくれます。

その後、天文台などで写真を撮ってくれます。

The tour was amazing. But the guide... ツアーは最高。でもガイドが、、、。

Reviewed by: catchme

The helicopter tour was wonderful and moving, with great weather. However, I had requested a Japanese guide, and that was not the case. I understood that it wasn't guaranteed, but I thought my request should have been communicated to the operating company, so it would have been nice to receive an explanation that "there is no Japanese guide." Perhaps I was expecting too much since I have always had enjoyable experiences with VELTRA, but I was really looking forward to having a Japanese guide, so it was disappointing.

ヘリツアーは天気もよく感動的で素晴らしかった。ただ、日本人のガイド希望でオーダーしていたのに、そうではなかった点。確約ではないことは承知していましたが、リクエストは運行会社に伝わっているはずですから、「日本語ではないです」旨の説明があってもよかったのかなと思いました 。今までVELTRAさんで楽しい経験ばかりだったので期待しすぎたせいかもしれませんが、日本語ガイドを楽しみにしていただけに残念です。

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>

The stability and comfort of the ship are outstanding. 船の安定感・快適性は抜群です。

Reviewed by: りーな

We participated in a snorkeling tour with our 5-year-old child. We often sign up for snorkeling tours when traveling, but this was our first time on a large boat, as we usually take speedboats.

Since the meeting point was local, we needed to park our rental car at the tour company's parking lot, but we were a bit confused about the location, so be careful with that. (It takes just under 50 minutes from Waikoloa.)

In this tour, we were the only Japanese participants, and the rest were Westerners, but they spoke in quite clear English, so we could get the gist of things from the atmosphere. Right after departure, there was a breakfast buffet, and soft drinks were available for free if you asked at the bar counter; our child enjoyed drinking juice. The waves were calm, so there was no spilling of drinks, and the stability was definitely different.

The snorkeling spot was quite deep (about 10 meters?), but the water was very clear, allowing us to see the bottom. While we weren't surrounded by a large number of tropical fish like at the Great Barrier Reef, we did encounter some colorful fish, which was enjoyable. The boat also had a slide and a diving board, but we didn't challenge ourselves with those... (The Westerners were diving in a lot, though!)

For lunch, we had handmade hamburgers. We could choose our own patties, buns, and vegetables to assemble our burgers. True to American style, the patties were very good and delicious, and drinks were always available, making for a comfortable and relaxing experience.

If you have small children, many snorkeling tours on the Big Island have age restrictions, often requiring participants to be 12 years or older, but this one was fine. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins, but it was a very enjoyable memory!

5歳の子供を連れてシュノーケルツアーに参加。よく旅行先ではシュノーケルツアーを申し込んでますが、今までスピードボートばかりで、今回のような大型船は初めてでした。
現地集合のため、レンタカーを催行会社の駐車場に停める必要があるのですが場所がよくわからず戸惑ってしまいましたので、かなり注意です。(ワイコロアからだと50分弱かかります)

このツアーで日本人は私たちのみで残りは欧米人しかいませんでしたが、かなりクリアな英語で話してくれるので雰囲気で内容は察せそうです。出航後すぐに朝食のビュッフェがあり、ソフトドリンクはバーカウンターの方に頼めばフリーで出してくれますし、子供はジュースを好んで飲んでいました。波も穏やかだったせいかドリンクが零れるような揺れもなく、安定感はやはり違いますね。

シュノーケルスポットは水深は深い(10m弱くらいかな?)ですがかなり海の透明度が高く、底が見えます。グレートバリアリーフのような大量の熱帯魚に囲まれることはありませんが、カラフルな魚には割と出会えるので楽しめるかと。
船にはスライダーや飛び込み台もありますが、さすがにこちらは挑戦せず…(欧米人の方はめっちゃ飛び込んでました笑)
昼食は今はハンドメイドのハンバーガーです。パティやバンズ、野菜など、自分で取って組み合わせて食べるスタイルです。さすがはアメリカ、パティの肉感がとても良く美味しく頂けましたし、常時飲み物は頂けるので、快適に寛いで過ごすことが出来ました。


小さいお子さん連れだとハワイ島のシュノーケルツアーは12歳から等の年齢制限があるものも多く参加出来ないこともありますが、こちらは大丈夫です。
私たちはイルカには残念ながら会えませんでしたが、とても楽しい思い出となりました!

I think it took about 40 minutes from departure to see the dolphins. The day before, it took an hour and a half, so we were able to see the dolphins really quickly.

According to the guide, there were a lot of dolphins today—maybe around 200? They kept coming one after another, which was surprising!

Once we got into the water, we could hear the dolphins' sounds very clearly.

Thank you for an amazing experience!

出港してからイルカに会えるまで約40分ぐらいだったと思います。前日は1時間半かかったとの事だったのですごく早くイルカに会えました。

キラウエア火山 ドアなし ヘリコプター遊覧 <英語パイロット/フライト60分/ヒロ空港集合> by パラダイスヘリコプター

No door, as expected!! Incredible power!!! さすがのドアなし!!大迫力!!!

Reviewed by: wabo

I stayed at a hotel in Waikoloa and booked a morning flight. It takes about two hours by car to Hilo, and it was a mistake to stop by the Tex Drive-In along the way, as the road to Hilo was completely blocked due to construction!!! There was a high possibility I wouldn't make it for the 9:30 check-in, and when I called the contact number, I struggled a lot because they only spoke English... Fortunately, the third staff member I spoke to could speak a little Japanese, and I barely made it with a 30-minute delay. At the airport, there was also a staff member who assisted me in Japanese. After the briefing, just when I was ready to go, the flight for that day was canceled due to bad weather... Oh no... I was wondering what to do when another staff member who spoke Japanese came and helped me book a flight for the next day. I was really grateful!!!

The next day, I had an afternoon flight. After departing from Waikoloa, the weather started to deteriorate again, and I thought it might be canceled today too... but surprisingly, the flight was okay! It was a small helicopter with four people, including the pilot. I boarded with a bit of nervousness, and in no time, we were up in the air!!! The wind was stronger than I imagined, and I was desperately trying to hold onto my headset as it felt like it would fly away. The strong wind was also hitting my face, which was quite painful.

Although I was exhausted, when we reached the crater, I was overwhelmed by the sheer power of it. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any lava, but we circled slowly around the crater several times, capturing some impressive images.

So, I recommend this experience, but here are some tips for those who will be going:
- If you're coming from Waikoloa, I strongly recommend crossing via Daniel K. Inouye Hwy without any detours.
- If you're bringing a smartphone or video camera, a strap to hang around your neck is essential. The wind is too strong, and it could get blown away.
- It gets quite cold up there, so bring a hoodie or fleece.
- Flip-flops will be too cold, so please wear sneakers or something similar.
- If you have long hair, it's better to tie it up to avoid it hitting your face. I was in the back seat, and the wind coming from the back to the front was so strong that it hit my face and eyes, making it really painful to the point of tears. At one point, I had to put on my hoodie and hold my head down.

ワイコロアのホテルに宿泊し、午前中のフライトを予約しました。ヒロまで車でだいたい2時間として、途中テックドライブインに寄り道したのが間違いで、ヒロに入る道が道路工事でぜんぜん進まない!!!9時30分のチェックインには間に合わない可能性大ということで、連絡先に電話するも英語のみの対応で大苦戦。。。3人目に日本語が少し話せるスタッフが対応してくれて、なんとか30分の遅刻でギリギリセーフ。空港でも日本語で対応してくれたスタッフが待っていてくました。講習も終わって、いよいよと思っていたら、天候不良のためその日のフライトは中止・・・トホホ・・・どうしようかと思っていたらまたしても日本語対応のスタッフが来てくれて、翌日のフライトを予約してくれました。本当に助かりました!!!
そして、翌日は午後のフライト。ワイコロアを出発してから、天候がまたも崩れ始め、今日もダメかも・・・と思っていのですが、なんとフライトOK!
パイロットも含め4人乗りのちっちゃなヘリでした。やや緊張しつつ乗り込むとあっと言う間に上空へ!!!
想像以上に風が強くて、ヘットセッドが風で飛んでしまいそうで必死に抑えていました。それと強風で髪の毛が顔にガンガン当たって痛いのなんの。。
ヘロヘロになりながらでしたが、火口の上空に来た時は、あまりの迫力に圧倒されました。残念ながら溶岩は見えなかったのですが、火口の周りを何度もゆっくりと旋回して、大迫力の画像が撮れました。
ということで、お勧めなのですが、これから行かれる方にアドバイス
・ワイコロアから行かれる方は、寄り道せずに、Daniel k.lnouye Hwyで横断していくことを強くお勧めします。
・スマホやビデオを持って行かれるかたは、首から下げるストラップは必須。
 風が強すぎて持って行かれれます。
・上空は相当寒いです。パーカーやフリース持って行きましょう。
・ビーサンでは寒いのでスニーカーなどでお願いします。
・髪が長い方は縛った方が良いです。とにかく顔に当たらないように。
私は後ろの席だったのですが、とにかく、後ろから前に来る風がすごくて、顔や目に当たって本当に涙が出るほど痛かったです。途中でパーカー被って頭を抑えていたくらいですから。

I am very satisfied! 大満足です!

Reviewed by: セブンラブ

The cocktails were delicious, and the lady who made them was cute, so I ended up drinking a bit too much. The food was also tasty, and I enjoyed the dessert as well! The meat they served was tender, and the poke was delicious. The red bread was a bit on the sweet side, but it was fluffy. The pudding and tapioca desserts might be a bit too sweet for those who aren't fond of sweet flavors, but the papaya was delicious.

I watched the hula show feeling a bit tipsy, and the fire dance was incredibly powerful; it was the best show I've seen so far! I'm very satisfied.

カクテルが美味しくて、作ってくれたお姉さんも可愛くて、ついつい飲み過ぎました。
食事も美味しくて、デザートまで堪能しました!取り分けてくれるお肉は柔らかいし、ポキも美味しかったです。赤いパンはちょっと甘めでしたが、フワフワ。デザートのプリンやタピオカは甘いのが苦手な人にはキツいかもしれませんが、パパイヤは美味しかった。
ほろ酔い気分で観たフラショーですが、ファイアーダンスは大迫力で、今までに観たショーの中では最高でした!
大満足です

One of the best trips we have been on. JEFF was excellent both in the way he described the Island, his humour and knowledge.
Overall this created a memory that will last a life time.
We should also say that this trip would never have existed without pele. It made us realise how much we owe to nature and how much we take it for granted.

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧 水~土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能<フライト100分/英語パイロット/ワイコロアヘリポート>

There were wonderful things too. 素晴らしいこともあったよ

Reviewed by: sho

One thing that was a bit disappointing was that I couldn't see any lava. Even though I was looking down into the crater, it was just a big hole because it had calmed down. I thought I would be able to see the lava entering the sea, but it seems that either there was never a plan for that, or it was no longer possible due to the calm.

The optional trip down to the base of the waterfall was amazing. I can't really gauge the true scale, but it felt like being at the bottom of Kegon Falls, looking up from below. There was no one else around, so it felt like a private waterfall. There's only enough space for one helicopter to land, and I don't think you can get there by car. I highly recommend this optional tour.

The helicopter guide and pilot was a Japanese person. It seems that the group I happened to be with had booked through the guide's website, which is why a Japanese guide was assigned. Requesting a Japanese guide might not be very effective.

Lastly, it was my first time on a helicopter, and if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication. The vibrations from the helicopter can make you feel queasy. The flight itself wasn't scary, and even though it was my first time, I didn't feel particularly moved by it (laughs).

少しガッカリしたことは溶岩が見れなかったこと。火口を上から見てるのに、沈静化したためにただの大きな穴でした。溶岩が海に入っていくところが見れるのかと思っていたら、もともとそんな予定がなかったのか、沈静化したことでなくなったなのか、見れませんでした。
オプショナルの滝の麓に降りるやつは凄かったです。本当の規模はわかりませんが、華厳の滝の滝つぼ付近に降りたってしたから上を見るような感じです。私たち以外誰もいませんのでプライベート滝?です。ヘリコプター1台が降り立つスペースしかないし、車では来れないと思います。このオプショナルはオススメです。
ヘリコプターのガイド兼操縦士さんは日本人の方でした。どうやらたまたま一緒に乗り合わせたグループの方がガイドさんのホームページから予約されたため、日本人の方がガイドに着いたようです。日本語ガイドの希望を出しても、あまり意味が無いかもです。
最後に、ヘリコプターに初めて乗りましたが、酔いやすい人は酔い止め飲んだ方がいいかもです。ヘリコプターの振動が酔いそうになります。飛行自体は怖くもなく、初めて乗ったのですが、あまり感動はなかったです(笑)

プライベートチャーター ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング+イルカウォッチングツアー!GoProレンタルあり<午前/日本語ガイド>

Chasing dolphins while snorkeling is hard work! バンドウイルカ追っかけシュノーケリングハードワーク!

Reviewed by: もっとさん

I participated in dolphin snorkeling for the first time on the Big Island of Hawaii. I thought it would be a diving boat, but it turned out to be a Zodiac. The captain and the navigator were humorous and taught us a lot. It seemed that other boats were also searching for dolphins, but most of them couldn't find any, and the main Spinner Dolphins were elusive. However, we did spot the endangered Hawaiian monk seal along the way! After that, we zoomed around in the Zodiac, holding on tight, and discovered a pod of bottlenose dolphins! Unlike the Spinner Dolphins, they don't approach humans, so when we got close, they would dive away. Thanks to the captain's determination, we were able to see about six of them up close, which was fantastic!!!

However, preparing and challenging myself multiple times was tough for a guy over 50.

初めてハワイ島でイルカシュノーケリングへ参加しました。
ダイビングの時に載る船かな~と思っていたらゾディアックということでした。とにかく船長にナビゲーターの方がユーモラスで色々と教えてくれました。今回は他の船もイルカを探していたようですがほとんどの船がイルカに会えずメインのSpinner Dolphinは見つからず、途中絶滅危惧種のハワイアンモンクシールを発見!その後もゾディアックでガンガン飛ばして落ちないようにつかまっているうちにバンドウイルカの親子の群れを発見!でも、Spinner Dolphinと違って人間に寄ってこないため近づくと潜ってしまいます。そこを船長の根性で無事6頭ほど間近で見ることができてよかった!!!

でも、何度も準備してチャレンジは50過ぎの親父にはきつかった~~。

ワイピオ渓谷  乗馬ツアー <午前・午後/英語ガイド> by ワイピオ・オン・ホースバック

They safely guided us while crossing the river with increased water levels on horseback. 水量の増した川を馬に乗って横切るときも安全にガイドしていただきました

Reviewed by: hrf

I previously participated in the same tour and enjoyed it, so I joined again with a friend. After the rain, the water level in the river at Waipi'o Valley had increased, and I was a bit worried when crossing the river on horseback, but the guide carefully checked for safe spots and led us cautiously, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any anxiety. It was a pity that the restroom at the meeting point was a portable toilet and not very clean. Other than that, I was very satisfied.

以前、同ツアーに参加してよかったので、再度、友人と参加しました。雨が降ったあとで、ワイピオ渓谷下の川の水量が増えていて、馬に乗って川を横切るとき少し心配でしたが、ちゃんと安全な場所を調べて慎重にガイドしていただき、不安なく、楽しめました。集合場所のトイレが移動簡易トイレであまりきれいでなかったのは残念でした。それ以外は大満足です。

The weather was great, and I was lucky to meet a lot of dolphins! Since the waves were strong, I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're worried about seasickness. I took some and was totally fine. It seems that the timing of encounters depends on luck, so it’s best to schedule with some extra time.

ワイピオ渓谷 乗馬ツアー 絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 <午前・午後/英語ガイド> by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

Waipi'o Valley is a very beautiful place! ワイピオ渓谷はとても美しい場所!

Reviewed by: Lily

Waipi'o Valley was a wonderful place with a gentle atmosphere. You can easily reach the viewpoint by car, but the road down to the valley is off-limits for rental cars and is a narrow, bumpy, steep path that is best avoided if you're not experienced. It's advisable to know in advance where to pull over to avoid oncoming vehicles. Very few people walk down, and since there are no markers once you descend, I think it's better to go on a tour rather than trying to navigate on foot.

Initially, the staff will take you by car to the horse stable in the valley. There were 8 participants in the horseback riding tour, accompanied by 2 staff members. The instructions on how to ride were simple, mixed with broken Japanese, but the horses were all very smart and guided us along (laughs). Unlike in Japan, where someone typically leads the horse, each person is given a horse and can ride right away, even if it's their first time. It's so much fun!

When I considered booking beforehand, the Japanese tour was a full day, so I opted for this half-day option instead. Since it's a first experience, it requires quite a bit of stamina, so I think half a day is sufficient.

ワイピオ渓谷は、穏やかな気が流れる素晴らしい場所でした。
上から眺める展望台には車ですぐ行けますが、そこから渓谷に下る道路はレンタカーでは通行禁止ですし、無理に行こうとするのは止めた方が良いガタガタの急勾配の狭い道です。対向の車を避けるのも、あらかじめ避ける場所を把握していた方が良い、慣れた人が行く道です。
歩いて下る人もとても少ないです。下りてからも道しるべなどはないので、ぐるっと巡るとなると、馬ではなく歩くのだとしてもツアーで行った方が良いと思います。

はじめに、スタッフが渓谷の馬小屋まで車で連れて行ってくれます。乗馬ツアーには、8人が参加して2人のスタッフが付きました。
馬の乗り方は、カタコトの日本語混じりの簡単な説明だけでしたが、とにかく、お馬さんたちがみんな賢くて、連れて行ってくれます(笑)
日本にありがちな、手綱を誰かが引いて連れて行ってくれる訳ではなく、初めてだろうが1人1頭与えられ、いきなり乗せてもらえます。
とっても楽しいです!

予約前に検討した際、日本語のツアーだとまる1日だったので、午前中だけのこちらにしました。初体験だとかなり体力が必要ですので、半日で十分だと思います。

Reviewed by: aaa

I went parasailing for the first time! Instead of sitting in a chair, you are secured with lots of ropes and go up. You float up there for about 10 minutes. The hardware creaked, which added to the thrill, but it was so much fun! It says to bring motion sickness medication, and since the swaying can be intense and you're on the boat the whole time while others are floating, I recommend taking it if you're prone to motion sickness!

始めてパラセーリングをしました!
椅子に座るのではなく、たくさんの紐で安定させて上に行きます。上で浮いているのは10分ほどです。金具がギシギシ言うのでスリル満点でしたが、とっても楽しかったです!

Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed it.

Even if the weather is bad down below, it is often the case that the clouds clear up at the summit. Regarding altitude sickness, being mindful to breathe slowly and relax as much as possible can help. It seems that sucking on candy can also be effective.
