I felt The whole tour is rushed through. Driver seems to be in a hurry to get it done quickly. Not much commentary on the main attractions of the tour

We had a great time with Kimo. He made us feel at ease. He was very knowledgeable and funny. He was able to answer our questions and did not make us feel dumb. He also seemed to genuinely enjoy our party’s craziness.

This was the highlight of our cruise. We were lucky to see the Volcano erupt, which was well worth the trip. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was also very good. Desmond and Anthony were great guides.

Anthony and Desmond were spectacular tour guides! Desmond is an expert at taking the amazing photos of your group, and Anthony is so knowledgeable and taught us so much with words, pictures, and artifacts while driving. But most of all, they were friendly and caring. I've never been more impressed with two tour guides! The tour showed us many interesting sites and we had a blast. It was the highlight of our trip to the big island!

I love zip-lining. I had done it in Japan before, but this one is on another level. Gliding while overlooking the canyon is just amazing.

ジップラインが好きです日本でもやったことはありましたが、こちらは別格です。

Ziplining is the best!
ジップライン 最高❗️
Activity Date: 2024/10/21 | Posted on: 2024/10/25

The weather was nice, with views of the ocean and waterfalls, and I enjoyed the increasingly long zip line while having a banana. I was worried about not being able to speak English, but they were very kind and made me feel at ease. I believe that even those who don't speak English can participate. The seventh zip line had a rainbow over the waterfall, which was amazing! Moreover, the landing spot was also interesting. It might have been a coincidence, but the other participants from California and other countries were all friendly and the tour had a great atmosphere.

お天気も良く、海や滝が見えて、バナナをいただきながら、だんだん長くなるジップラインを楽しめました。
英語ができないので心配していましたが、優しく対応してくださるので安心です。英語のできない方も参加可能だと、私的には思います。
7本目のジップラインは滝に虹がかかっていて、最高‼️でした。その上、着地地点も面白かったですよ。
たまたまかもしれませんが、カリフォルニアや他国から参加の他の方も、皆さん優しくて和やかで、雰囲気の良いツアーでした。

After making a reservation in Japan, head to the store counter at the designated time. It takes a bit of time to enter the tour's specified website and sign contracts in case of accidents. Since there are no Japanese speakers, it can be challenging if you don't understand some English (a translation device is also possible).

After that, you put on the gear, wear a helmet, and head up the mountain in a microbus. If you're wearing a baseball cap, you can wear it under the helmet, but other types are not allowed. Initially, you'll slide down a distance of about 20 meters to get accustomed to it after a safety briefing before starting.

From the second run onward, the distance gradually increases, and finally, you'll have a long run over the valley from a platform about 6 meters high. About ten people are accompanied by two guides, ensuring safety at all times. People of all ages, from children to the elderly, can safely enjoy the beautiful scenery.

日本で予約して、現地の予約時間にお店のカウンターへ。ツアーの指定したHPに入って、事故等が起きた場合の契約書などへのサインを行うのに、少し時間がかかります。日本語を話す人はいませんので、ある程度の英語を理解出来ないと苦しい。(翻訳機でも可能ですけど)。
そのあと、装具を身につけてヘルメットを被りマイクロバスで山の上の方へ向かう。野球帽ならばヘルメットの下に被れるけど、他のタイプはダメ。最初は20メートルくらいにのもので、スタート前の安全など講義後に慣れる意味で滑る。
2本目から徐々に距離が伸びていき、最後は6mくらいの高さの台から谷超えのロングラン。10名くらいに二人のガイドが同行して、常に安全を確保。子供から高齢者の方まで安全に綺麗でな、景色を楽しめます。

Volcanoes National Park & Rainbow Falls Group Shore Excursion - Discover Hilo’s Natural Wonders
Impressive Hilo Volcano
Activity Date: 2024/04/30 | Posted on: 2024/05/05

Our guide for the tour was Grover. What a wonderful, knowledgeable kind man.
Volcano National Park is beautiful and lush with an abundance of plant life. Stunning scenery of the volcano and caldera.
Learnt so much about volcanoes, how they have formed, how they behave with earth tremors/quakes, eruptions and the that island continues to grow because of them.
Grover spoiled us by taking us to a couple unplanned locations such as the Lava Tubes, Rainbow Falls and Steam Vents
Highly recommend this tour and especially if you’re lucky enough to have Grover as your tour guide.

We had the most AMAZING time ziplining!! It was a little rainy/misty but that didn't take away from the experience at all! The crew was informative, funny and put our safety as their number one priority.

Big Island Waterfall Zipline Tour with Private Rainforest Access and Waterfall Swim Option
You'll Feel Like Mary Poppins but over a Waterfall
Activity Date: 2024/02/14 | Posted on: 2024/02/29

First timers will experience an exhilaration rush of amazing views. Even if you are afraid of heights don’t be, the crew are professional experts to ease your worries. They know what they are doing (with a flare of joking) to take your nerves from reminding you you’re going to be hundred of feet up in the air. It’s worth it! You’ll appreciate the picturesque palm trees, streams and lastly the huge waterfall. This took my breath away but in a good way. Bring your camera for all the unforgettable shot. What you show all your social media friends and family will surely make them jealous. Love the experience highly recommended!

It was a perfect day! The plantation was BEAUTIFUL and we learned so much about all the native and non-native agricultural while walking to the next platform. Byron and Monique were amazing and had our family laughing the whole time! Totally making everyone feel at ease. The tips they provided ensuring we got the most out of each ”zip”were a huge help and made the adventure just that much more fun. We would do it all again in a heartbeat!

I always appreciate Beltora's help. Just before starting the zip line, it started to rain, and I almost lost heart, but I enjoyed it immensely without worrying about the rain. The staff were very kind, and I was able to have a great time!

いつもベルトラさんにはお世話になっております。ジップラインはスタートする直前に雨が降り出し、心が折れそうになりましたが、雨など気にする事無く、めちゃくちゃ楽しめました。スタッフさんもとても親切で、楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました\(^o^)/

I liked how you start small for those who a less experienced and afraid of heights. Our guides were awesome in explaining everything and giving history of the area. The funniest part was when Angela hid behind some bushes and started making pig sounds, causing one of the participants to jump back! LOL! The guides really did a great job making it fun and relaxing my nerves.

Overall great experience. There was construction traveling to the location and they waited for the people that were stuck in traffic. The staff was very friendly and answered and questions we had. They helped take pictures at the end by the waterfall for everyone. I felt very comfortable with the safety equipment. Especially going over the waterfall and the other really far drop. I would definitely recommend this company.

This Zip-line Tour was off the hook! David and Josh, along with the other staff, were awesome and very good at what they do! They’re safety instructions were very friendly and clear that made it a really simple and fast process. They’re funny humor kept my wife and I engaged and laughing the whole time which helped break the ice and had everyone conversing. The Zip-Lines are short at the beginning but that’s ok because it was our first time doing this type of activity and helped ease into the longer ones. The grand finale is awesome and are still super stoked about doing it! You won’t be disappointed. Oh! And you have to try the different types of bananas while tracking through the different Zip-Lines and don’t forget to enjoy the views! Once again, thank you Josh and David for a great time and all the info provided! Until next time!

Great time! We were four - My two teenage kids, my wife, and I. We loved it! Great guides. Very Safe. Great Views and wonderful vegetation. My wife was a little nervous before we went, but absolutely loved it. There are 7 zip lines and each one gets a little more adventurous.

Would highly recommend.
