Hawaii Horseback Riding Tour with Waterfall Swim at Umauma Falls

Horseback Tour was awesome

Reviewed by: Andrew

The team did a great job with everything, including the introduction to the horses, how to ride, the tour itself, all of the above.

It was a beautiful activity for riders of all levels of experience. Would highly recommend to all interested.

ハワイ島 乗馬ツアー 3段に流れるウマウマ滝でハイキングや滝壺遊びもあり! <午前・午後/英語ガイド>

Horseback riding and waterfall play are the best! 乗馬と滝遊び最高

Reviewed by: 俊太郎

This was my third time horseback riding on the Big Island, but this time it was a tour that not only included riding but also allowed us to enter the waterfall pool. The weather was great, and the scenery was beautiful. At the waterfall pool, we were able to get close to the falls on a stand-up paddleboard. The water was a bit cold, but it was such a rare opportunity that I decided to jump in. I couldn't swim smoothly, but it was a valuable experience! The American family I was with had three boys who dove into the waterfall pool from the rocks, and the dad followed, with the mom joining in at the end! They looked like they were having a blast. There was also a zip line tour that went over the top of the waterfall (that looked pretty speedy and fun too). I definitely want to participate in that next time. Overall, it was a really enjoyable tour!

ハワイ島での乗馬は3回目でしたが
今回は乗馬だけでなく、滝壺にも入れるツアー、天気も良く景色もよく
滝つぼではサップボードに乗り滝の近くまで行けました。水は少し冷たかったがめったにない機会なので思い切ってはいりました。さすがにすいすいと泳ぐことはできなかったですが、貴重な経験!同行したアメリカ人の家族は男の子3人は岩の上から滝つぼにダイブ、お父さんも続き最後はお母さんも!
すごく楽しそうでした。他のツアーでは滝の上を通過するジップラインもありました(こちらもけっこうすぴーどがあり楽しそうでした)
次回はこちらも参加したなと、とにかく楽しいツアーでした。

Lava and waterfalls 溶岩と滝

Reviewed by: Kaz

I was able to see stunning scenery such as the lava of Kilauea and waterfalls on coastal cliffs that you can't see from the drive. The bilingual pilot and guide had extensive knowledge, and I enjoyed the experience more than I expected.

ドライブでは見られないキラウェアの溶岩や海岸の絶壁にある滝等、圧巻の景色を見ることができました。バイリンガルのパイロット兼ガイドの知識も豊富で想定以上に楽しむことができました。

Ultimate Hawaii Circle Island Sightseeing, Kilauea Volcano & Waterfall Tour

Wish we did it when we arrived

Reviewed by: Gila

It was such a great experience! Our tour guide was AMAZING! So personable and knowledgeable. He knew sooo much history. I don’t think there was a question asked he couldn’t answer at all. My favorite stops were the lava tube and volcano summit visits. Incredible views. My wife and I were saying we should’ve done this when we first arrived instead of at the end of our trip. Sooo much great information. Learning about how coffee was made was also great! Keep it up!

Hawaii Horseback Riding Tour with Waterfall Swim at Umauma Falls

Loved the ride!

Reviewed by: Peter

Great staff, gentle horses, and a fun adventure. We had our 9 year old granddaughter who had never ridden but they went out of their way to make sure she was comfortable and with a horse that she could ride safely.
I have lots of riding experience and was able to enjoy the ride as well; they shared much information about the plants and animals and Hawaiian history. Btw, the swim at the half way point was very refreshing.

mahalo melissa, sorry about the late arrivals, we apologize once in a while it does happen road work, detours and lost guests. yes proper attire for ride recommeded, dress and heels oh my goodness that is silly, it is in confirmation as well on what to wear. yes horses are definitely well cared for, very spoiled, they work hard, so we need to love them a little more extra they have their own personality and we love them too.. guides are great and have been in the family for over 30 years. weather is so unpredictable it is a surprise to us on the daily. yes the rain is the best blessing and cools us down. the best rides are the sometimes light rain.. thank you for sending a sweet review, we look forward for you to joining with us again and hope you get to spend more time at the waterfall next time.. mahalo nui! wailea horseback adventure..

Excellent ATTV Tour

Reviewed by: Garrett

I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to do a fun and exciting ATV tour of the Waipio Valley. The tour guides were excellent. They took all the time to explain everything about the 750 acre property, the Waipio Valley, the ocean, the animals, etc. The ATV's were in great working order. We had no issues at all with them. The guides kept us safe at all times but we had a lot of fun!

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>

The flight was operated by a Japanese pilot and was exclusively for Japanese families. 日本人パイロットに日本人ファミリーのみのフライトでした。

Reviewed by: angel39

The location of the airport was a short drive from the hotel. The airport waiting lobby was crowded, and if you’re not careful, you might miss the announcement for your helicopter. During the flight, there were only Japanese passengers, and the explanations were not bilingual in English and Japanese, which made the information plentiful and fulfilling. It was very lucky that there were no explanations in both languages, as that can be tiring. The course and flight time were excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed the erupting Hawaii Island. However, I was a bit anxious because there was little time until the taxi back, and the USB with the flight video wasn't ready.

ホテルから飛行場の場所は少し車で走りました。飛行場の待合ロビーは混雑しており、注意していないと乗るべきヘリ案内を聞き逃しそうです。
フライト中は、日本人だけで英語と日本語のバイリンガルの説明ではなかったので、情報量も十分で充実したものとなりました。英語と日本語の説明だと疲れるので、とてもラッキーでした。コース、フライト時間も申し分なく、噴火しているハワイ島を堪能しました。帰りのタクシーまでの時間が少なく、フライト映像のUSBが書き上がらず、ハラハラしましたが。

My husband and I loved our ride at Waimea. Our guides Jamie and Julie were fun and made my husband (who was a first time rider) very comfortable on his horse. Jamie shared so much of his knowledge of the island with us while we were riding to and from the waterfall for which we were very grateful. The swim at the waterfall was gorgeous and refreshing. A wonderful experience overall and absolutely worth it! Highly recommend!

We had a great time on the shuttle. Our driver, Forest was fun, professional and had so much to share about the area and island. We got to go down to some beautiful spots and get out to take pictures. It was amazing. I highly recommend you take this tour. The windows are out so you don't feel closed in. It is a long way down and up so think long and hard about hiking it. We are so glad we choose to Book this tour-- You will be happy you did! It was an amazing experience.

Fantastic ATV tour as a Family Activity!

Reviewed by: Vishal

Fantastic tour for folks looking for an easy-paced ATV tour with insights into a working Hawaiian ranch. We had a great time as a family with elementary and high school aged kids and really enjoyed our first ATV adventure. Hosts are really welcoming and very knowledgeable of the local Hawaiian farming, trees, fruits and the Hamakua coast. This is not a thrill ride, and yet you come away with the experience of a lifetime. They really go over and beyond to accommodate the tour to your pace, preference and highlight the best of Mauka to Makai (Mountain to Sea), not to forget the breathtaking views of the coastline! We would highly recommend the tour for families and special kudos to our hosts - this tour would not be half as fun without them!
