All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

My husband had the piloting experience while I recorded videos from the back seat. Although it was a cloudy day, the view of Oahu was amazing, and I was moved to see Diamond Head from above for the first time. My husband was allowed to pilot from takeoff until he switched places with the pilot during landing, and he held the controls for quite a long time. The piloting instructions were in English, but even for my husband, who struggles with English, there were no issues at all. The pilot pointed out all the highlights of Oahu, making it easy for me to film.

Before the flight, I was asked if I had concerns about motion sickness, and I felt a bit anxious, but I was so focused on not missing any sights and on recording the video that I didn't have time to feel motion sickness. Seeing neighborhoods with roofs covered in solar panels and areas lined with wind turbines made me realize the diversity of Oahu that I hadn't known before.

After the flight, we were treated to a luxurious afternoon tea, and during the hotel transfers, we heard many interesting stories. It was truly a wonderful experience. Since returning from the trip, my husband has watched the videos I recorded many times. He seems quite pleased to show off the footage of himself piloting to acquaintances.

主人が操縦体験、私は後ろの席でビデオ録画担当しました。
曇り空でしたが、オアフ島の眺めが素晴らしくて、ダイアモンドヘッドを初めて上から見て感動しました。
主人は離陸から操縦させてもらって、着陸でパイロットさんと操縦を替わるまで、かなり長い時間操縦桿を握らせてもらってました。
操縦の指示は英語ですが、英語苦手な主人でも全然問題なく、オアフ島の見どころも全部パイロットさんが伝えてくれて、動画撮影もやりやすかったです。
事前に乗り物酔いの心配があるかと聞かれ、少し不安がありましたが、見どころを見落とさないようにするのと、ビデオ録画に一生懸命で、乗り物酔いを感じる暇もありませんでした。
ソーラーパネルのついた屋根が並ぶ住宅街や風力発電の風車が並ぶ地帯を見て、知らなかったオアフ島の多様さを実感しました。
フライトから帰ると、豪華なアフタヌーンティーのようなおもてなし、ホテルからの送り迎えでは色々なお話を聞かせていただき、本当にいい体験でした。
主人は旅行から帰国後、何度も何度も私が撮影したビデオを見ています。
またビデオに映った操縦している雄姿（？）を知り合いに見せてはご満悦の様子です。

The guide was very friendly and shared many interesting stories! Everyone participating was American, and we all had a great time together. We were able to see a starry sky that you can't experience in Japan. The guide also explained about the stars, which was very enjoyable.

ガイドさんが非常に気さくな方で色々な面白い話をしてくれました！参加していたのはアメリカ人だけでしたがみんなでワイワイしてました。日本ではみるようなことができない満点の星空を見ることができました。ガイドさんが星の解説もしてくださり非常に楽しかったです

Really nice fishing trip! Jack and the Capt. (don’t think I got her name) were really great hosts. Jack was excellent! Super helpful with all concerns regarding fishing equipment and hooking a fish. The Capt. was kind and informative. She knows her job and does it well. Despite the choppy seas, she got us to the spots where people caught fish. It was a great time and well recommended.

This tour was exactly what we were looking for a full day of sight seeing, lunch and no effort on our part!!

What we experienced:
- Pick Up - we got picked up at 7:30 in the morning by the shuttle and then it went to many other hotels to pick up other passengers. Your time will vary depending on where your hotel is.
- Sights - we got to see all the sights listed on the itinerary including some extras at the beach. We saw the Monk Sealions and Turtles at the beach and that was a bonus treat! The pit stops were the perfect amount of time to hop out to take photos, enjoy the sight and then move on.
- Waimea Canyon - lots of different view points - we got to see it from all around. There was PLENTY of picture ops. This was really a hop on hop off photo tour. So don't expect any hikes or long walks. What I loved is I never had to worry about the parking situation, paying park fees, or the driving obviously. It's perfect for anyone without a car or for cruise go-ers. Even though we had a car rental, I didn't regret not having to do this drive myself. I got to nap on the way back because even though I didn't hike, it still was a long day.
- Lunch - The food exceeded my expectations after reading the reviews (I'm sure the bad experiences were during Covid times). We had huge chicken portions and it was seasoned well and cooked well. The plantation that we ate at was beautiful and relaxing so we enjoyed the lunch break a lot.
- Coffee plantation tour - nice pit stop that we wouldn't have made on our own but enjoyed the op to tag along on this tour.

Our tour guide (so sorry for not remembering his name-Italian man from NJ originally) was great. He gave good history, good info all while he was driving. He had so much knowledge and good recommendations and really funny!!

The tour was exactly what we wanted to explore a large chunk of the island - no stress and no worry on our part.

This ATV tour was none less than amazing! Our tour guide Keoki, was amazing. His level of interest and understanding of the land's history was amazing. He was funny, informative, and very engaged in allowing us to have both a fun and educational experience. I highly recommend this tour. It rained and we were worried it was going to be canceled I am so glad that it was not! It was muddy and fun, and the views were breathtaking.
We took a group of six and it was definitely a VIP experience.
It is a must-do and Family oriented. He brought us a homemade snack and drinks as well. We laughed and laughed at his jokes and fun personality.

Road to Hana tour was amazing with Janel as our guide! She navigated the roads expertly and shared so much history and interesting anecdotes. All the stops we made along the way were 5 star!!

Personally, I thought this tour was great! I was able to watch a video explaining the tour in Japanese, and I felt reassured as I learned how to use the bicycle while going around the tour. It was good. When it started to rain, there was no mudguard on the bicycle, so my clothes and shoes got very muddy. I recommend going in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and bringing a change of clothes.

個人的にこのツアーはとても良かったです！
日本語のツアー説明の動画も見ることができ、自転車の使い方も分かりながら安心してツアーに回ることができ、よかったです。
途中で雨が降ってきて、自転車に泥除けがないため服や靴に非常に泥がかかるので、本当に汚れてもいい格好で行き、着替えを持参することをお勧めします。

Beautiful day on the water with a personable crew. No fish were seen or caught but that's fishing.

It might be a good idea to wear a simple raincoat since it suddenly rains. If I go again, I will prepare for it.

いきなり雨☂️が降るので簡単なレインコートなど着ておいた方が良いかもしれません。
次に行く事が有れば用意して行きます。

Paired the ATV tour and the ziplining! The zip lines themselves were amazing. Driving up to the zip line you'll get a glimpse of some of the movie sets that were shot there which is an extra bonus. The view of was stumming. Highly recommend!

We did the ATV raptors tour: Staff is great and shares their knowledge on the sights at the ranch. Book well in advanced as the tickets get sold out quickly as its difficult to get tickets the day before or the day of! All you need for the ATV tour is to have a license from wherever you're from.

The trail itself was fun and took us around the entire ranch and valleys. Saw a lot of movie sites and historical locations. Well worth the cost!!!

It was fun the whole time, just like a Disney attraction. It felt great to ride a buggy through the great outdoors. I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, or wearing a raincoat on drizzly days.

ディズニーのアトラクションみたいに終始楽しかったです。大自然の中をバギーで走って気持ちよかったです。
汚れても良いような服装で行くか、小雨の日はカッパを切る事をオススメします。

The hike was VERY muddy! Not so much of the mud being a nuisance, as much as the slippery parts. Then cooling off with downhill bike ride with scenic views of Waikiki and Honolulu, even Pearl city. We enjoyed our time.

Manny and Eddie were super heros on the day we went. Manny drove us through one of the hardest trails I have ever seen - he got us there safe and even though it was super scary he remained calm the whole time.
Eddie was the life of the party, he made us feel comfortable and kept us laughing.
The fact that it rained on us and we still got to experience the 8 lines just made the experience more special. The views and the feeling you experience once you launch while the wind glided across your face is worth every penny. My hubby is not a fan of heights but after the first one it just got easier and easier, he had zero regrets.
Trust me you need to do this activity but make sure Manny and Eddie are your guides.

Great experience! Had so much fun, the sites were breathtaking and the guides were knowledgeable and funny! Definitely a once in a life time experience.

After getting off the bus, there was a gathering and an explanation. The meeting time and location for the activities were all explained in English. If you were anxious about not understanding English, a Japanese staff member came to explain. The buggy ride lasted for two hours, and there were explanations at key points, but they were in English. It seemed like there were some jokes in the explanations, as those who understood English were laughing and having a great time. Even if you don't understand English, it was still very enjoyable, and the scenery was magnificent, giving me a lot of energy. There was a lot of dust, so it would be a good idea to bring a change of clothes, as you will get covered in sand. Your face will also get quite dirty, but there are no showers; only a water tap and soap are provided. I felt it was worth going because I had a really fun time. The staff were also cheerful and kind.

バスを降り集合し説明があります。 アクティビティの集合時間や場所など全て英語で説明されます。英語が理解出来ず不安になっていたら日本人スタッフがきて説明してくれました。バギーは2時間で要所 要所でバギーを降りて説明がありますが英語です。ジョークまじりの説明だったのか英語が分かる方たちはとても楽しそうに笑っていました。英語が分からなくても十分楽しく景色も壮大でパワーをもらえました。かなりの砂埃で全身砂まみれになり洋服は着替えをもっていった方が良さそうです。顔も真っ黒になりますがシャワーとかはなく水道と石鹸が置いてあります。凄く楽しい時間を過ごせたので行って良かったと思いました。スタッフも明るく親切です。

Everyone there was awsome! Great vibe! Especially guide! I will definitely return and have already recommended to many people

Well worth your time. We had a fabulous time. Do it if you have the time

We flew in a four-seater plane, with my husband piloting and our 3-year-old daughter and I sitting in the back. Our daughter had a child seat installed on board and rode comfortably. She was a bit fussy due to sleepiness, but she ended up falling asleep during the flight, which was quite stable.

My husband's piloting was a bit nerve-wracking, but I'm glad we had the experience at least once. We really enjoyed the ride together.

According to my husband, the piloting wasn't difficult. Since the pilot spoke English, it might be more enjoyable for those who understand a little English.

4人乗りの飛行機で、夫が操縦、私と3歳の娘が後ろの席同乗しました。
娘はチャイルドシートを機内に設置してもらい、乗りました。娘は眠くて機内でぐずりましたが、飛行中に寝てしまい、それほど安定した飛行でした。
夫の操縦はヒヤヒヤしましたが、1度は体験できてよかったです。同乗でもとても楽しめました。

夫曰く、操縦は難しくなかったそうです。
パイロットは英語なので、少し英語が分かる方がより楽しめるかもしれません。

Beautiful land, awesome people ! I recommend bringing the family or friends here to race around on four wheelers! They also have animals you can pet or feed ! The end of the ride has amazing picture opportunities!

I was very satisfied to be entrusted with most of the piloting. I was also able to take valuable photos during the flight. Additionally, I received a sightseeing tour from the sky, which allowed me to learn more about Oahu.

Before and after the flight, I was pleased to be provided with surprise tea and snacks.

操縦の大部分を任せてもらえて、満足度が高いです。
操縦時の貴重な写真も撮って頂きました。
また、空から観光案内もしてもらえて、オアフ島の事をより知る事が出来ました。

操縦前、後にはサプライズのお茶やお菓子も用意して頂き満足でした。

This was such a cool excursion. The views are incredible. The ʻike (knowledge) you get on this adventure is really cool to hear about the mountains and structures on the land.

This time, we made a reservation for three people. We opted for a three-zipline set, and the total budget was around 42,000 yen. I thought it was a bit expensive, but since it was the off-season and the Kapolei pool was only open on weekends, we chose this option.

First, we checked in 15 minutes early and received instructions on how to put on the equipment. It was all in English, but they were very attentive.

After that, we received a briefing (all in English), took some photos, and off we went! There were two instructors who guided us carefully, so there was nothing to worry about. The first leap was a bit nerve-wracking, but once you get used to it, it’s a lot of fun.

The three ziplines took about an hour. It went by in a flash. Honestly, I could have done six, but it was a bit pricey, so I decided to stop there.

The instructors were polite and entertaining, and the zipline experience was in a more natural setting than in Japan, with longer distances and quite a bit of speed, which was enjoyable. I hope that if more people come, the prices might become a bit more reasonable.

I had a fantastic time, and experiences like this are hard to come by, so I highly recommend it. If possible, I think it would be fun to bring a strap to hang your phone around your neck or take a GoPro to capture the moments.

今回、3名で予約をしていってきました。
3本セットのもので、全員で予算は42000円位でした。
若干高いかな？とおもいましたが、シーズンオフで
カポレイのプールも土日しか空いていなかったため、ここをセレクトしました。

まず、15分前にチェックインして、装備品の装着の説明を受けて装着をします。
英語オンリーではありますが、丁寧に対応してくれます。

その後、説明を受けて（すべて英語）、写真を撮って、レッツゴー‼
インストラクターが2名ついてくれて、丁寧に教えてくれるので
困ることはありません。
最初の1本目の飛び出しだけは勇気がいりますが、あとは慣れてしまえば
楽しいです。

3本で時間は1時間程でしょうか？
あっという間でした。正直6本でもよかったですが、予算的に少し高かったのでこれで止めておきました。

インストラクターさんは丁寧ですし、面白いですし、
ジップラインも日本よりも自然の中をしかも距離も長く、スピードもかなり出て楽しかったです。
もっとたくさん人が言ってくれれば、値段も少しはこなれた値段になるのかな？と期待しております。

非常に楽しかったですし、このような体験はなかなかできないので
お薦めです。出来れば、携帯を首からかけられるストラップとかでもっていくか、GOPROをもっていって装着すると面白いと思いますよ。

Great experience. A must do in the Kualoa Ranch. Seven Zip Lines and a long field to cover :-)

This place is amazing, the ATV excursion was exciting. I will definitely do it again.

Awesome ride and and ocean view. The ladies had extensive knowledge in handling horses. Our guide was alway attentive to our needs and mostly to make sure we were safe. Mahalo

One recommendation would be if guests can get off and take pictures of the helicopter crash and skull bones.

I booked this tour with a Japanese guide because my husband doesn't speak English, but the guide and the other participants were all from English-speaking countries and knew zero Japanese. The tour itself was enjoyable, but I was a bit surprised.

旦那さんが英語を話せないので日本語ガイド付きのこちらのツアーを予約しましたが、ガイドおよびツアー参加者が英語圏の方で、日本語はゼロ。ツアー自体は楽しかったですが、少しびっくりしました。

The day that we were set to go out the weather was not great. Despite this, we still had an amazing time. The captain and crew were kind, personable and attentive. Would highly recommend this charter and will probably book again!
