We participated as a couple. The scenery and content were outstanding, and we were very satisfied. Mr. Yamauchi, who was in charge, was very fun and kind, and his explanations about Maui and the starry sky were easy to understand, making for a wonderful memory. When we visit again, we definitely want to participate again. Thank you very much.

Out of the nine participants, we were the only two Japanese, and my wife didn't understand any English at all, but it was really comforting to have explanations in Japanese. The guide didn't even take a break to eat and prepared everything for us, for which we are truly grateful. The starry sky was absolutely amazing, and I was reminded of the summer constellations like the Summer Cross and Subaru that I had studied long ago, which I had completely forgotten about. At the end, the guide spoke in English, passionately discussing the vastness of the universe compared to the shortness and significance of human life, which left a deep impression on me as I got into the car (though I think my wife didn't understand). Initially, I thought it was naive to try to climb Haleakalā by myself. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
9人参加の中で日本人は私たち二人しかおらず、妻は全く英語がわからなかったのですが、やはり日本語で解説されるとホッとします。ガイドさんは自分の食事も取らず、私たちのために準備をしてくれて本当に感謝です。星空も本当に素晴らしくてかつて勉強した夏の十字星やスバルなど久しぶりに聴き、すっかり忘れていたなと思い返しました。最後にガイドさんが英語でしたが、宇宙の壮大さに比べ、人間の人生の短さやその意義などを熱く語ってくれて感激して帰りの車に乗りました(家内はわからなかったと思うけど)。最初は自分でハレアカラに登ろうとしたことが本当に浅はかでした。また機会があれば参加したいと思います。
頂上は夜かなり冷えますので、防寒はしっかりしたほうが良いと思います。望遠鏡を覗くときにメガネの方ははずした方が良いかもしれません。

Ziplining while enjoying the magnificent views at Kualoa Ranch was incredibly refreshing. There were three instructors with us, which made it very safe, but since the explanations were in English, I couldn't understand anything they were saying. When I expressed this, they showed me a video in Japanese, which made me feel more at ease.
数本のジップラインをクアロアランチの壮大な景色を見ながら行くのは、とても爽快でした。3名のインストラクターがついてくれて、とても安全に出来ますが、英語での説明でしたので、何を言ってるのか全くわかりませんでした。それを伝えると、日本語のビデオを見せてくれたので、安心できました。

The two-hour horseback riding was quite long, so my rear ended up hurting, but it was worth it. I was moved when I walked through the forest and saw the ocean. Surrounded by the forests of Kualoa, I was truly awed by the magnificent scenery throughout. The guide spoke English, but even if you don't understand, you can still enjoy it enough.
Since the shuttle arrived early, we had quite a bit of time on-site. There was a good 2 to 3 hours to spare. You can look at the horses, visit the souvenir shop, and have lunch. There were also lockers available, which were convenient as they were the type you could easily access.

With an instructor, I boarded a Cessna and went diving! The view was just like looking out of the small airplane window, above the clouds. One by one, we took off, and before I knew it, it was my turn! I felt no sense of reality about diving because we were so high up, and then suddenly, we jumped. We dove straight down, spreading our arms and legs into the diving position. Even while descending rapidly, I had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery. After a while, the parachute opened, and we descended gently. I savored the views over the mountains and the ocean. It's something I wouldn't do in Japan, but I found the courage to dive because it was Hawaii. I was filled with anxiety right up until the moment, but I'm glad I did it.
インストラクターとペアで、セスナに乗り込みダイビング!景色は飛行機の小窓からみる景色と同じで雲の上。次々と飛び立ちあっという間に自分の出番!高すぎてこれからダイビングをする実感がないまま一瞬で飛びました。一気に急降下し、手と足を広げてダイビングのあの形に。急降下してても景色を見る余裕は全然ありました。しばらくするとパラシュートが開き、緩やかに下降。山の上、海の上を堪能。日本ではやらないですが、ハワイだからこそやる勇気が出たダイビング。直前まで不安でいっぱいでしたが、やってよかったです。

I was worried after reading the low reviews, but I had a great time. The bus had bad reviews, but the driver was a cheerful guy. We took the bus and checked in upon arrival. The check-in was done on an iPad, but everything was in English, so I used a translation app to input my information. As long as you do the final check and sign properly, it seems like the rest can be done casually. If you accidentally press the home button, you have to start over, so I just kept pressing next.
After that, I received a paper to give to the instructor and waited. During this time, they mentioned a fuel fee of $15 per person and asked if I wanted to take photos or videos. I declined. When my instructor arrived, I received an explanation, but I didn't understand much. Luckily, there was a Japanese staff member who helped translate. The instructions included lifting my chin a bit, holding the harness, raising my legs and arching my back when we jumped, and spreading my arms wide when they tapped my shoulders as a signal to indicate I was ready. For landing, they explained not to extend my legs but to keep them lifted.
Then we waited for the helicopter, and they tried to sell us photos and videos again during that time. They approached me three times, but I declined each time.
Finally, it was time to jump! It was high, and I felt a bit scared, but as long as I screamed while jumping, I was fine. After the parachute opened, I felt really nauseous (I have a weak vestibular system and can't ride attractions like the Harry Potter ride at Universal Studios Japan).
Afterward, I received a certificate of completion and an envelope. I put a tip (I decided on $20) in the envelope and placed it in a clear box to finish up.
Regarding tips for the bus ride back, I noticed some people didn’t give any, but as mentioned in the reviews, when I gave $10, they were very grateful, so I recommend giving a tip.
Since I have a very weak vestibular system, I probably won’t do this again, but I'm glad I chose this place. There are additional costs for sales and payments, but aside from that, everything was good, so I’d rate it 4 stars.
低評価の口コミ見て心配になってましたがとても楽しめました。
バスの口コミが悪いですが陽気なおじさんでした。バスで向かい、到着後受付をします、iPadで受付ですが全部英語です、翻訳機能使いながら入力していきます、最後のチェックとサインだけしっかりしてあれば他は適当でも大丈夫そう。間違えてホームボタンとか押すと初めからなのでずっとネクスト押し続ける。
それからインストラクターに渡す紙もらって待機になります、その際に燃料費??が1人15$かかるのと標高高くしませんか?写真動画とりませんか?の営業かけてきます。わたしは断りました。自分のインストラクターがきたら説明を受けます,,何言ってるかさっぱりでしたが日本人のスタッフさんいたので通訳してもらいました。少し顎をあげる、ハーネスを握る、飛んだら足をあげてエビゾリになる、肩をぽんぽん叩かれたら両手広げてOKの合図、着地の時は足を伸ばすんじゃなくて浮かしてって感じの説明です。
あとはヘリくるまで待機、その際にも写真動画の営業かけてきます、計3回かけてきましたが全部断りました。
あとは飛ぶだけです!高くて少しチビりそうでしたが奇声上げながら飛べば大丈夫です。パラシュート開いてからはもう気持ち悪くて無理でした(自分は三半規管弱くてUSJのハリーポッターとか乗れません)
終わったら飛んだ証明書と封筒を渡されます、封筒にチップ(10〜30$わたしは20$にしといた)を入れて透明のBOXにいれて終わりです。
帰りのバス降りるさいのチップですが渡してない人もいましたが口コミにある通り10$渡したらめっちゃ感謝してたのであげてください。
自分は三半規管弱すぎるので2度とすることはないですがここを選んでよかったと思います。
営業と、支払い以外のお金かかるのでそこ以外はよかったので⭐︎4って感じです。
If you have weak semicircular canals, be prepared for hell after opening the parachute. Andrew is kind, haha.

Yoshi was amazing, he made the entire trip up and down the mountain entertaining just by his talking, facts and nice collection of soothing music. We went with a full bus and still managed to make room for one extra family member, so eight of the back we were grateful for this. The entire sight on the top of the mountaintop was beautiful and alien like but the highlight was the star gazing where Yoshi quickly set up his two telescopes and chairs and blankets for everyone along with the jackets he had already provided us. This coupled with his extensive knowledge of the stars made the entire trip a once in a lifetime experience. I only hope that my soon to be wife and I can take our future children to this tour with Yoshi. I’ll put it to you like this, even if we hadn’t seen any stars I would have been happy just having him drive us up and down the mountain and I had already done it myself, that’s how much I enjoyed his commentary and the ride.

This was my first trip abroad and my first time in Hawaii, and I participated alone!
The shuttle from the Honolulu area was easy to identify, as you can see in the photo! The driver was full of humor, and even though I couldn't speak English, I was able to communicate with him.
Upon arrival, we first checked in using a tablet, and then there was a fitting for the specialized equipment and a briefing about diving.
We took a propeller plane up to an altitude of 4000-5000 meters, so I wouldn't recommend wearing short sleeves and shorts if you're sensitive to the cold or not feeling 100%.
We started the dive with a countdown of 3.2.1.Go. We swung our bodies to the left and right during the countdown, and I really liked the speedy countdown, which felt like piston transport! Even if they were asked if they were ready and still said "No," some people were half-forced to say "Yes" and dive anyway.
During the dive, we descended from above the clouds towards the ground, so the unique gravity, wind, and visibility might be challenging for some. I love activities like this, so I wasn't scared or nervous at all, but I recommend trying it at least once for the experience.
It was an incredibly exciting skydiving experience, and I would do it again!

Driving the buggy myself was so much fun! Since there were no other Japanese people besides our couple, I was a bit worried about my English, but we had an instructor for every four groups, and there was also a video explanation in Japanese, so I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind.

The summit gets quite cold at night, so I think it's best to dress warmly. If you wear glasses, you might want to take them off when looking through the telescope.
