Hawaii
The surroundings were too bright, and it was disappointing. I compared it to my previous experience of watching the sunset and stargazing at Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii.
まわりが明るすぎて 期待はずれでした。
前にハワイ島のマウナケアでサンセットと
星空鑑賞をしたので 比べてしまいました。
I had a super fun and enjoyable time riding the buggy!! It's a shame that we couldn't stop at the photo spot where they filmed Jurassic Park.
めっちゃ楽しく気持ちよくバギーできました!!ジュラシックパークの撮影現場で使われてたとこが写真スポットとして止まってくれなかったのでそれが残念です。
I had a great time being together with people from abroad. The guide seemed to understand a little Japanese, which made communication enjoyable. Above all, I think it's happy to share the time of enjoying the beautiful starry sky with those who love stars in Hawaii.
外国の方とも一緒になれて楽しかったです。ガイドの方は日本語も少しわかるようで楽しくコミュニケーションが取れました。何より、Hawaiiで星が好きな方々と綺麗な星空を見て楽しむという時間を共有できることがhappyだと思います。
I think you should feel free to participate, as it's not that specialized.
それほど専門的というわけでもないので気楽に参加されてはどうかと思います。
Mahalo. Keep reaching for the stars!
I participated in the 3-hour course. The 2-hour course seemed to have many participants, but the 3-hour course had only three groups, allowing us to listen to detailed explanations at stunning viewpoints and movie filming locations while having plenty of time to take photos. Every spot felt like a rare opportunity to see such breathtaking scenery, making it an incredible experience!
3時間のコースに参加しました。
2時間コースは参加者が多そうでしたが、3時間コースは参加が3組で、絶景や映画の撮影ポイントで詳しく説明を聞きながら、たくさん写真を撮る時間がありました。
こんな絶景なかなか見られないと感じるところばかりで、最高の時間になりました!
Since communication will primarily be in English on-site, I think you'll enjoy it more if you have a certain level of English proficiency!
現地では基本的には全て英語でのコミュニケーションになるため、ある程度英語ができると楽しめると思います!
This tour was great fun. The off-roading was excellent and the views absolutely beautiful. The guides were funny and full of interesting Hawaii facts/information. My kids also had a great time and said this was their favorite tour.
You will get dirty. Obviously bring a camera.
I was fitted with a harness by the instructor, while other instructors were taking photos in front of the sign and communicating. However, when they realized I was Japanese and couldn't speak much English, they quickly went behind the scenes and didn't come out again.
As others moved, we headed to the waiting area before boarding the plane. The instructor arrived late and took photos in front of the outdoor sign. After that, we waited for boarding, during which a GoPro was recording, resulting in 1,659 images sent to us that were mostly irrelevant. Two-thirds of the total images were just random shots taken without permission.
I understand that the energy levels vary among instructors, but if the images are just for counting, I don't need them. The data was downloaded without consent.
At the reception, there was a Japanese woman who was reassuring and attentive, which made me feel at ease.
Overall, it was a valuable experience that is hard to come by.
インストラクターにハーネスを着けてもらい、他のインストラクターは、看板前で撮影等して、コミュニケーションをしていたが、日本人で英語がそれぼど話せないと分かると、すぐ裏へ帰り出て来ない。
他の人達が移動するので飛行機搭乗前の待機場へ移動すると、遅れてインストラクターが来て、外の看板前で撮影。その後、飛行機搭乗まで待機しているが、その間GoPro回っていて、送られた画像1659枚がその時のどうでもいい画像。トータル三分のニの画像が、無断な数合わせの画像でした。
インストラクターによって、テンションが違うのは、分かるが数合わせの画像なら、いらない。データダウンロードの無断です。
受け付けには、日本人女性がいらっしゃて、安心、親身に対応して、いただきました。
体験としては、なかなか体験出来ない貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
Since you can't choose the instructor, it's left to chance. I think being able to speak English would allow for even better service.
インストラクターは、選べないので運まかせですね。
英語を話せると、さらにいいサービスが受けられると、思います。
The Mountain tubing adventure was just as advertised, lots of fun floating down the canals and tunnels. One person in our family was a bit claustrophobic in the tunnels but survived just fine. Our guides were really fun and super safe. They told excellent historical stories. Remember to keep your butts up and your elbows and knees in.
We would definitely recommend this activity.
This is the best activity where you can enjoy the magnificent scenery for two hours while riding a horse! Even as someone with very little horseback riding experience, I felt at ease because the guide was attentive. Simple instructions like "kick" were given in Japanese. It was a bit troublesome that the helmet didn't fit well due to my typical Japanese head shape, but overall, I was satisfied!
雄大な景色を2時間も馬に乗って楽しめる最高のアクティビティです!
乗馬経験がほとんどない自分でもガイドさんがよく見ていてくださるので安心して乗れました。「蹴ってください」など、簡単な指示は日本語で言ってくれました。
典型的な日本人の頭の形なのでヘルメットが合わなかったのは困りましたが、総じて満足です!
Our driver who picked us up was watching a program on his phone and not paying attention to the road. Once we arrived and started our UTV tour it was amazing and worth every dollar. Our tour guide was excellent. The only problem was speakers in our UTV were hard to hear and need upgraded. The guide did take time to tell us about things in detail about what we had passed by and things to come ahead. Such a beautiful place I hope the ranch is maintained for generations to come.
Improve the microphone and speaker system in the UTV's .
Make sure city bus drivers are focused.
It was an unexpected private event, and the weather was perfect, making it absolutely amazing! The starry sky was stunning, and I was so moved like never before! I would love to participate again if I have the chance! Big Mahalo~ 🤘🤟
まさかの貸切で天候にも恵まれ文句なしで最高でした!
星空も満点でこんなに感動したのは初めてでした!
また機会があれば参加したいです!
ビッグマハロ〜🤘🤟
You should participate even if the weather is iffy!
天候が微妙でも参加するべきです!
The area were we rode was still wet and muddy. I got a horse who refused to move so was led the entire ride. The Dole plantation party of the tour was too short and the place wasn't even open yet when we arrived, cutting into our time there. The town we visited on the way back was just a time sick, although we found a great burger place to eat lunch. I would not recommend.
Loved the experience! Once in a lifetime so far. Hope to have a repeat someday!!
We had a great time on this tour. David and Cousin Kyle were awesome guides! We liked hearing the history while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Swimming at the waterfall was amazing!
Matthew was exceptional - he went out of his way to make our trip memorable- would highly recommend him as a guide
As I controlled the buggy through the rough terrain covered in dust, I soon arrived at a breathtaking viewpoint. While drinking the cold mineral water given to me by the guide, I listened to the explanation about the stunning scenery.
The next stop was aimed at the filming locations of movies like Jurassic World. The familiar sights that appeared one after another reminded me of those days.
悪路を砂ぼこりに塗れてバギーをコントロールしてると、すぐに絶景ポイントに到着。
ガイドさんから貰った冷たいミネラルウォーターを飲みながら絶景の説明を受ける。
次からのポイントは、ジェラシックワールドなどの映画撮影現場を目指す。次々に現れる見覚えのある光景はあの頃を思い出す。
You might think that the goggles are unnecessary, but they could be essential. Also, trust the performance of the Made in Japan Kawasaki buggy and dare to challenge the bumps!
いらないかなって思ってたゴーグルは必要かも知れません。
後、Made in Japanカワサキのバギーの性能を信じて、敢えてデコボコにチャレンジしてみてください。
I was taken care of by the guide, Shoutarou. He explained everything alternately in English and Japanese, which made it very easy to understand and I felt安心して参加できました😊. The reservation date was canceled due to bad weather, but when I contacted them, they were able to change it to the next day. I wanted to go to Mauna Kea, so I was very grateful for their対応!!
ガイドのショウタロウさんにお世話になりました。
英語と日本語で交互に説明をしていただき、とてもわかりやすく安心して参加できました😊
予約日は天候不良で中止になってしまったのですが、連絡をしたら次の日に変更していただけました。
マウナケアに行きたくてハワイ島へ行ったので、とてもありがたい対応でした!!
The summit was windier and colder than I expected. They do provide cold weather gear, but you'll need to prepare your own inner layers as well! Having a hot pack would have been helpful too. 😁
思っている以上に山頂は風も強く寒かったです。
防寒具は貸していただけますが、インナーなどの準備も必要です!
ホッカイロもあると助かりました😁
Although I was able to reach the summit of Mauna Kea, unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, and I was unable to see the sunset or the starry sky. I appreciated that they offered a partial refund when both were not visible.
Even though I couldn't see either, the guide was supposed to explain in English but provided explanations in Japanese instead, and the guidance at the summit was consistently polite and enjoyable. During the restroom break on the way back, they mentioned that we might see some stars, and I was delighted to catch a glimpse of a few through the clouds.
It was such a good tour that I would like to choose a day with better weather and participate in the tour again next time.
マウナケア山頂には行けたものの、残念ながら天候に恵まれずサンセット、星空観測ともに見れませんでした。
両方とも見れない場合は一部料金の払い戻しをしていただけるのはありがたかったです。
両方ともは見えませんでしたが、ガイドの方は英語での説明予定だったのに日本語で説明してくれましたし、山頂での説明や案内も終始丁寧で楽しめました。
帰路のトイレ休憩の際に星が見えるかもと教えてくれて雲間から少し星が見えたりしてフォローが嬉しかったです。
次回は天気がいい日を選んで再度ツアーを参加したいと思えるぐらいいいツアーでした。
I was really moved to be able to reach the summit of Mauna Kea, but I felt even more disappointed that I couldn't experience the sunset and stargazing. If possible, I think it's best to make a reserva
マウナケア山頂まで行けたのはすごく感動したのですが、その分サンセットと星空観測が出来なかったのが余計残念に思いました。
出来るなら限りなく天気のいい日に予約するのがいいと思います。
The magnificent scenery was truly wonderful! The reception staff were fluent in Japanese, which made it easy to participate in the activities. I had a great time!
雄大な景色がとても素晴らしかったです!
受付も日本語堪能な方が対応していただき、すんなりアクティビティに参加できました。
とても楽しかったです!
My wife and I have been here for the second time, but it was great to see our daughter enjoy it for the first time. She said it was the most fun two hours ever... as a father, that makes me feel amazing.
私と嫁は2回目でしたが初めての娘が喜んでくれて良かったです。こんな楽しい2時間は無かった…と言ってくれて父親としては最高です。
I might need thicker pads because my butt hurts.
お尻痛くなるので厚めのパッドが必要かも
Loved our tour guide Saybrin!!! She was HILLARIOUS!! The other 2 guides who helped were so helpful and kind as well. Water was cold but the tunnels and experience were awesome. Thanks for such a fun time!
The reservation was fully booked, so I opted for the plan where I could have a buggy driven for me, and it was a lot of fun! The rain actually made it feel magical and wonderful!
予約が空いておらず、バギーを運転してもらうプランにしましたが、とても楽しかったです!
雨も逆に幻想的で素敵でした!
My first skydiving experience in my life! It was a bit scary, but more than that, I felt the wind of Hawaii and felt like I became a bird. It was an absolutely amazing feeling!
人生初のスカイダイビング! ちょっと怖かったですが、それよりもハワイの風を感じて鳥になった気分になれて、最高に気持ちよかったです!
Fun for all. The guides made it fun and informative.
We had an absolutely incredible experience on our recent stargazing tour with Yoshi. We brought 4 adults and 4 kids (5-8 years old) to the summit and everyone had a blast. You can never predict Mother Nature so while at the summit (which was very windy and cloudy), Yoshi made the decision to change stargazing locations to another spot a little lower on the mountain and his expertise was rewarded as we were able to watch a beautiful sunset and view the stars from our new spot. It was such a memorable experience for everyone, I would 100% recommend this activity to anyone visiting Maui.
Yoshi was an outstanding guide. とてもよかった経験!
We had a great time on our tubing adventure. The staff was so friendly and fun. They made sure they knew our names. Made lots of funny comments and just made it a lot more fun. Great experience .
This trip was very enjoyable, we got to learn about all the volcanoes and various other attractions. And see some amazing sights, including telescopes and sunsets!
Very relaxing, informative, and tons of fun. Tia. Naya, and Hunter did an amazing job!
Although it was an English tour, the guide spoke Japanese and provided explanations in both English and Japanese, which made it easy to understand and was great. They also took many beautiful photos for us.
英語ツアーと言う事でしたが、日本語を話せるガイドさんで、英語と日本語で説明して下さり、わかりやすくて良かったです。綺麗な写真も沢山撮って頂きました。
The horses were well-trained, which made me feel very safe while riding. My family of four experienced this together, and it was interesting to see that the horses also have their own relationships; they seemed to have preferences, as some horses didn't get along well and couldn't maintain a good distance from each other.
Unfortunately, due to several days of heavy rain, we couldn't follow the usual course, and the actual time spent riding was less than an hour, which was disappointing.
よく調教されているお馬さん達で、とても安心して乗馬することができました。
家族4人で体験しましたが、それぞれの馬同士も相性があるらしく、嫌いな馬とは上手く距離がとれなかったりと、人間関係ならぬ馬関係も垣間見れ面白かったです。
何日かひどい雨が続いていたこともあり、通常のコースを歩くことができなかった為か、実際に馬に乗っていた時間は1時間にも満たなかったのが残念でした。
Sam was a great leader and the ranch was a great experience we will never forget !
