Hawaii
This tour is long but well worth it. We were picked up at the Starbucks, Queen’s Shopping Center, Waikoloa Beach Resort. We drove to the Mauna Kea Visitor’s Center where we had a very nice dinner. Next we went to the summit to view the telescopes and sunset from almost 14,000 feet. We the viewed the night sky through telescopes in almost complete darkness. Our driver and guide, Arthur, was fantastic. What a great experience!
The pickup and reservation process was very helpful. Since there was plenty of time until the meeting point for the descent, I was able to climb Diamond Head at my own pace and take lots of photos. On the way back, the route was to the hotel, but when I mentioned that I wanted to go to the KCC Market instead of the hotel, they kindly took me to the KCC Market and dropped me off there. The driver was cheerful, and it was a very enjoyable time.
お迎えや予約の手続きも助かりました。
下山の集合までたっぷり時間があったのでダイアモンドヘッドに自分のペースで登ることもでき、たくさん写真も撮ることができました。帰りはホテルまでのコースでしたが、ホテルではなくKCCマーケットへ行きたいと伝えたら、快くKCCマーケットまで送ってくれてそこで下車しました。
ドライバーさんも明るくてとても楽しい時間でした。
Depending on the season, it might be cold before you climb and at the summit, so I think it's a good idea to have something to wear and drinks (like a water bottle).
季節によって登る前と山頂は寒いかもしれないので羽織るものと飲み物(ペットボトル等)あった方がいいと思います。
Exploring the magnificent nature on a buggy was an absolute blast! You can truly feel the great outdoors. The staff were all so much fun! My whole family was thrilled—it's priceless and highly recommended!!
壮大な自然の中をバギーに乗って探検!めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです!大自然を体で感じられます。スタッフの皆さんも楽しい方ばかり!家族みんな大興奮〜プライスレスおすすめです‼︎
There is quite a wait time, but you can relax and take your time. There is also a café for lunch with a variety of menu options.
多少待ち時間はありますが、それはそれでのんびり過ごせます。ランチもカフェがあり色々とメニューもありました。
Instructors and everyone involved, thank you for your warm hospitality! Thanks to you, my first experience on a Cessna was the best time ever! I believe it will become one of my best memories of activities in Hawaii!
インストラクター&関係者の皆様、とてもあたたかな対応をして下さいました!
おかげで初めてのセスナ機体験は最高の時間でした!
ハワイでのアクティビティの最高の思い出になると思います!
Please be sure to experience it! There's nothing to worry about!
是非、体験して下さい!
何も心配はありません!
It was wonderful to be able to see beautiful scenery, mountains, and the sea while riding a horse. I have experienced horseback riding a few times in the past, but I had never been able to ride for such a long time, nearly two hours. I was very satisfied with this one riding experience.
景色の良いところ、山や海を馬に乗りながら見ることができてとても良かったです。
過去何度か乗馬体験をしたことがあるのですが、2時間近くも長時間にわたり乗馬できることはなかったので、一回の乗馬でとても満足することができました。
Since there is some free time before and after horseback riding, I think it would be nice to spend it by exploring the facility, having a meal, or relaxing by the beach in front of the Kualoa Lounge.
乗馬前後の空き時間があるので、施設内を見て回ったり、ご飯を食べたり、クアロアラウンチの前の海辺で過ごすなどすると、良い時間を過ごせると思います。
Our family of six had a great day on the paddle and hike to Secret Falls. Our guide was Harrison and he was amazing. Fun, helpful, and gave us all kinds of cool facts and stories about the flora and fauna and people of the area. He even got a bird to eat a worm out of my daughter’s hand! The falls were huge and beautiful. An absolutely great day!
Get Harrison as your guide!
Also, wear shoes that you don’t mind ruining- serious mud on the hike!
Aloha Great Family Adventure,
We are a family business catering to families, couples and singles.
All our guides not only keep you safe but are well versed in the cultural and natural history of the areas traversed.
We are waiting for Harrison to come out with the seminal book.
Thanks for sharing and keep having those fun family adventures and allowing us to make them possible.

Although somewhat costly, it was a very memorable experience. The ATV they use are very capable machines going through some rough at times terrain. Our guides were lovely and very knowledgeable. Very professional and safety first group. Good amount of time - 3 hours ride time.
The driver spoke English, so there was still a language barrier. Although there were no issues with getting on and off during the transfer, I couldn't get any water and ended up having to buy expensive water on-site. Diamond Head was wonderful.
運転手さんが英語なので、やはり言葉が通じない。送迎の乗り降りは、通じなくても、問題はなかったが、水がもらえず、現地で高い水を買うことになった。
ダイアモンドヘッドは、すばらしかった。
It's better to bring your own water. If you receive some, it can get heavy, but unlike in Japan, it's not guaranteed.
水は、持参したほうが良いです。もらえた場合、重たくなりますが、日本と違い確実ではないので。
The transportation included the entrance fee. The area was rich in nature with clean air, and above all, the weather was nice, providing a wonderful view. The ascent was a bit tough, but there were rest areas along the way, which was great! The descent was so pleasant that I was told I had a refreshing look on my face! Haha. I want to go again.
入場料込みの送迎でした。現地では自然豊かで空気が綺麗で、何より天気良くて素敵な景色でした。上りは少しきつかったですが、途中休憩スペースもあり良かったです!
下りは清々しい顔してると言われるほど気持ちよく降りられました!笑
また行きたいです。
I was able to enjoy a leisurely horseback ride. I was especially grateful for the good weather. It would have been tough if it had rained...
The city exploration is free, so it might be better to plan your own itinerary to some extent. I personally value being able to ride along the coast, so it was great for me, but I would say it might not be an experience I could recommend to everyone, as it may not suit all tastes.
ゆったり乗馬を楽しめました。天候に恵まれて何よりでした。これが雨だったら辛いたけかもしれない・・・。
街の散策はフリーなので、ある程度自分でプランを立てて参加したほうがいいかもしれせん。
私は海岸沿いを乗馬出来る事に価値を感じているのでいいのですが、全ての方におすすめ出来るかというと、人を選ぶ体験であると言えるかもしれません。
I had never gone horseback riding before and was very anxious because I couldn't speak English. However, once I arrived at Kualoa Ranch, I had no trouble with English at all! When I went, the weather was bad and it was drizzling. I had brought a raincoat that I bought at a 100 yen store, but before riding, I found that there were helmets (which are mandatory) and raincoats (available for anyone who wanted to borrow one), so I borrowed one of those! I got caught in a downpour and my pants got completely soaked, but thanks to the raincoat, my upper clothes stayed completely dry.
The horseback riding was so easy because the horses were incredibly well-behaved. I didn't have to give any commands; I just got to sit on their backs and enjoy the scenery! The instructor spoke to us with a smile and even mixed in some Japanese when giving instructions!
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to go horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch!
今まで乗馬をした事がなく、英語も話せないためとても不安でした。ですが、クアロアランチに着いてから英語で困ることは一切ありませんでした!私が行った時は天気が悪く雨がぱらついていました。事前に百均で買ったレインコートを持って行っていたのですが、乗馬前にヘルメット(必須)とレインコート(借りたい人だけ自由に取る)があったのでそちらを借りて行きました!途中でスコールにあいズボンはびしょびしょになりましたが上の洋服はレインコートのおかげで全く濡れませんでした。
乗馬は、お馬さんたちがとーーってもお利口さんなので、特にこちらが指示を出したりすることなくただ背中に乗せてもらって景色を眺めるだけでした!インストラクターの方も笑顔ではなしてくださり、指示を出す時には日本語を交えて話してくれます!
またハワイに行く機会があったら必ずクアロアランチの乗馬に行きたいと思いました!
The horse's urine splashes quite a bit and can get on your shoes and pants. I think it's best to go in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty!
馬のおしっこが結構跳ね返って靴やズボンにつきます。汚れてもいい格好で行くとベストだと思います!
This is a plan that provides round-trip transportation from hotels in the Honolulu area to the trailhead at Diamond Head Park. I don't usually exercise, but I found that one hour each way, or two hours round trip, is more than enough. You can also enjoy views of the streets of Honolulu and Pearl Harbor, so I highly recommend experiencing it at least once. Our guide, Orlando, was kind and attentive, making the experience very enjoyable.
ホノルル界隈のホテルからダイアモンドヘッド公園にある登山口までを往復で送迎してくれるプランです。
日頃運動をしない私ですが、片道で1時間あれ、往復で2時間あれば充分です。
ホノルルの街並みやパールハーバーなども見渡せるので、一度は経験させることをお薦めします。
ガイドのオランドさんも優しく気配りのできた方で、非常に楽しかったです。
I recommend sneakers instead of sandals.
靴はサンダルではなく、スニーカーをお薦めします。
If you can view the sightseeing of Oahu from the sky as just that, it can be a very enjoyable activity. However, if you are expecting to actually pilot the aircraft, it’s better not to have overly high expectations. Basically, you are just holding the controls and guiding a little. You won’t be able to move the controls yourself. Enjoy the sightseeing from the sky without expecting to pilot the aircraft.
空からのオアフ島観光と割り切れれば、非常に楽しいアクティビティと思います。
ただ体験操縦を期待されるなら、過度に期待されない方が良いと思います。
基本、舵を握っている、手を添えているだけです。舵を動かすことはできません。
体験操縦を期待せずに、空からの観光を楽しんでください。
The guides were fantastic! We very much enjoyed our trip, I've never seen views like that, so beautiful!!
The guides were very thoughtful and considerate of our needs and wants. They also shared Maui history and culture with us and it was all very interesting.
Cute farm with lots of cats to hang out with, pigs, goats, horses, etc. We even got to pet axis deer. We almost booked another tour but we had to leave in a couple days and had other stuff planned.
Highly recommended!!
The starry sky was very beautiful. Also, the explanation of the constellations was good. I wouldn't really recommend driving yourself to the summit and back, as there are some bad spots on the road, and it's dark on the way back.
とても綺麗な星空でした。また、星座の説明も、良かったです。自分で運転して、山頂まで往復するのは、
あまりおすすめできません。道が悪い所もあり、帰りは、暗いです。
I recommend it.
おすすめです。
The name "Kualoa Ranch" is a bit difficult to say, but the tour was great. Since it was sunny, everything looked beautiful. The guide was a mix of a lively person and someone a bit shy, which created a nice balance.
クアロアランチという名前が言いにくいですが、ツアーは良かったです。
晴れていたので全てが綺麗に見えました。
ガイドもパリピの人と若干シャイな人でバランスが取れてて良かったです
Since dust is swirling, masks that can be obtained for free on-site are essential. I also think sunglasses would be a good idea.
砂埃が舞うので現地で無料でもらえるマスクは必須です。また、サングラスもあると良いと思われます
Kilauea was hard to see due to the rain, but I was satisfied with everything else. The video of the eruption that I got from the guide was really great. I was especially happy to see the stars at night.
キラウエアは雨のためよく見えませんでしたが、それ以外は満足です。
ガイドさんからもらった噴火してる時の動画はめっちゃ良かったです
夜も星が見られて何よりです
I can only pray for it to be sunny.
晴れであることを祈るばかりです
My first time at Mauna Kea! I had a valuable experience, and I felt reassured to have a Japanese guide named Shoyou! It was fun to chat as well ^_^
はじめてのマウナケア!貴重な体験ができたし、日本人のガイドさんしょうようさんがいて安心しました!お話もできて楽しかったです^_^
During my stay on Oahu, I took a two-day, one-night trip to the Big Island and participated in this tour! I was impressed by the bilingual guide, Sho-yo, and I had a valuable experience learning about Hawaii's history and culture in such a short time. I was worried about the weather throughout, but I was able to enjoy the world's most beautiful sunset, and the explanation of the starry sky was wonderful! Thank you for making my year-end vacation so special!
オアフ島に滞在しながら、一泊二日で
ハワイ島に出かけ、こちらのツアーに参加させていただきました!
翔洋さんのバイリンガルガイドにも感心しましたが、短い時間に貴重な体験とハワイの歴史と文化を感じ、たいへん勉強になりました!
終始お天気が心配でしたが、世界一の夕日も堪能させていただき、星空の説明も素敵でした!
とても素晴らしい年末休暇を彩っていただき
ありがとうございました!
This is definitely a recommended tour!
是非おすすめのツアーです!
When I climbed the mountain, I emerged from the clouds that enveloped the lower world, and it was truly mystical. The observatory, the sunset, and the starry sky made for a very fulfilling tour.
The various stories shared by our guide, James, were enjoyable and very educational! Thank you so much.
山を登っていったとき、下界が雲に包まれているうえに出て、なんとも神秘的でした。天文台、日没、そして星空ととても充実したツアーでした。
ガイドのジェームズさんによる様々なお話が楽しくとても勉強になりました!本当にありがとうございました。
I was able to experience both the sea and the mountains in a compact way. The two guides were kind, and I was able to ask various questions since they were Japanese. It was meaningful to enjoy so much in just the morning.
海む山もコンパクトに体験できました。ガイドのお二人も親切ですし日本の方で色々質問できました。午前のみでここまで堪能でき有意義でした。
This was my second time participating, and I loved it just as much as last year! The two-hour horseback riding experience with the adorable horses is something you can't find in Japan. The hospitality of the staff was also wonderful, and I was very satisfied once again! I've been to the Big Island over ten times, but this experience is truly the best.
昨年に引き続き、大変気に入って2度目の参加でした!かわいい馬と一緒にたっぷり2時間の乗馬体験は日本では味わえません。スタッフの皆さんのホスピタリティも素晴らしく、今回も大満足でした!ハワイ島は10回以上来ていますが、この体験は本当に最高です。
There are places where you'll need to push through branches, so long pants are a must!
枝葉をかき分けて行く場所もあるので、長ズボンは必須です!
I had a great time horseback riding at the filming location of Jurassic Park. After two hours of riding, I felt a bit of muscle soreness between my legs, but I recovered within half a day. It's also possible to take photos with your smartphone while riding.
ジュラシックパークの撮影現場を乗馬をしながら、とても楽しく過ごすことが出来ました。2時間乗馬をすると、股の間が少し筋肉痛になりましたが、半日で回復いたしました。乗馬をしながらのスマホでの写真撮影も可能です。
For safety reasons, I recommend wearing long pants for horseback riding.
念のために長ズボンでの乗馬をお勧めいたします。
Allot of fun!! Wonderful opportunity.
Thank you!!
We really enjoyed the lunch stop on this tour, with delicious pizza and salad at Hana Farms.
Aloha Kara,
Mahalo for your five-star review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the Road to Hāna tour with Polynesian Adventure. Exploring this part of Maui with an experienced driver is a wonderful way to enjoy the breathtaking views, cultural insights, and hidden gems along the journey — all while relaxing and enjoying the ride. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the lunch stop tour. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable island adventure!
With warm aloha,
The Polynesian Adventure ʻOhana
The zipline courses offered stunning views of Maui’s landscapes, and the experience was thrilling from start to finish.
Swimming under waterfalls, exploring the black sand beach, and enjoying stunning coastal, what a day!
This is a great option for anyone looking for a convenient way to explore Manoa Falls without the hassle of driving.
The stops at Waimea Canyon offered amazing panoramic views, and the nature walk in Kokee State Park allowed us to enjoy the scenery and learn about native plants.
This tour is a must do while visiting the Big Island, as it has a perfect combination of natural beauty, cultural context, and astronomy!!!
