Hawaii
I was scheduled to be picked up in front of DFS at 9:25 AM (the van arrived more than 10 minutes late). After that, we went around several hotels in the Waikiki area, including the Marriott, and for some reason, at 10:25 AM, I was taken to a travel agency office just a minute's walk from DFS, where I was shown souvenirs.
I felt there was absolutely no need to stop by the office, and if they really wanted to make a stop there, it would have been better to gather everyone at the office at 10:25 AM instead. If they are considering Japanese tourists as well, I think they should improve the logistics in that regard.
Visiting Manoa Falls and Tantalus was worthwhile, and the pastrami for lunch was delicious. However, since I wasted an hour in the morning, it left a very negative impression of the tour.
9時25分にDFS前でピック予定(10分以上遅れてバンが到着)、その後ワイキキ中心部のマリオット等いくつかホテルを周り、なぜか10時25分にはDFSから徒歩1分の旅行会社オフィスなるところに連れて行かれてお土産を見させられました。
オフィスに寄る必要を全く感じなかったですし、どうしてもオフィスに寄らせたいのであれば、そこに10時25分集合でよかったのではないでしょうか。
日本人も対象に考えられているのであれば、その辺りのロジはきちんとした方がいいと思います。
マノアの滝とタンタラスの丘自体は行って良かったです、ランチのパストラミも美味しかったです。
しかし朝から1時間無駄にされたので、幸先悪く非常に印象の悪いツアーとなってしまいました。
We sincerely apologize for the issues that occurred with Nature and You Tour. The current visit to the office was primarily intended for the prior use of the restroom and for customers without drinks to make purchases. We also acknowledge that we did not provide sufficient explanation in advance, which is our oversight. We appreciate your feedback. We are truly sorry for the significant inconvenience caused by the delay of the vehicle.
この度はネイチャーアンドユーツアーにおきまして不備がございました事心よりお詫び申し上げます。
オフィスに現在立ち寄って頂いておりますのはメインにレストルームの事前使用とお飲み物をお持ちでないお客様にご購入頂ける趣旨でございました。
事前にご説明が充分に出来ていなかった事につきましても弊社の不手際で御座います。
ご指摘いただけました事感謝致します。
車両の遅延につきましても多大なるご迷惑をおかけしてしまい、本当に申し訳御座いませんでした。
The horse was incredibly smart, so even though it was my first time riding, I had a great time horseback riding. They explained it in English like a scene from a movie. Since everything was in English, it felt like enjoying the atmosphere. Haha! I'm glad I could have an experience that I can't have in Japan!!! You can only bring the bare minimum, like your smartphone and some water, so a coin locker is essential. You can use a credit card for the coin locker.
お馬さんがとにかくかしこいので、馬に乗るのが初めてでしたが楽しく乗馬できました。
映画のシーン的なのを英語で説明されていました。
すべて英語なので雰囲気を楽しむという感じでした。笑
日本ではできない体験ができて、よかったです!!!
手荷物は最小限、スマホ飲み水くらいしか持てないので、コインロッカー必須です。コインロッカーはクレカが使えます。
We signed up for a mountain bike tour for three people! Just before the tour, there was a video explanation with Japanese subtitles, which made us feel secure about the operation. The guide also explained everything again in English.
During the tour, we were shown filming locations from Jumanji and Jurassic Park, and they even took photos of us using our phones, making it a bright and fun experience.
We were able to feel the vastness of nature and see famous filming locations during the fulfilling two-hour tour. There are some ups and downs on the path, but with gear adjustments, even women can ride smoothly. It’s not just non-stop riding; there are breaks at scenic spots and filming locations, so it’s not too tiring. Since there can be mud splashes, it’s recommended to wear darker clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty rather than light-colored ones!
家族3人でマウンテンバイクツアーに申し込みました♪ツアー直前には日本語の字幕付きのビデオ解説もあり、操作は安心。同じことをもう一度ガイドのお姉さんが英語で説明してくれました。
ツアー中はジュマンジやジェラシックパークのロケ地を案内してくれ、私たちの携帯を使って写真を撮ってくれサービスもあり、明るく楽しいツアーでした。
広大な自然を感じることができ、有名なロケ地を実際に見て充実した2時間ツアー。アップダウンの道もありますがギアの調節をすれば女性でもスイスイ行けます。ずーっと走りっぱなしではなく景観の良い場所やロケ地などではバイクを降りて休憩もあるのでそれほど疲れません。
泥はねがあるので白っぽい服よりは黒っぽい汚れても良い服装がおすすめです♪
12000 acres of beauty. The guides are super nice funny and allow you to trot or chill how you please. Not a boring nose to tail ride it was fun to go fast a few times and let the horses do their thing while seeing all the other animals. Definitely bring a jacket (or they have some), close toed shoes and jeans super cold and windy up there. Loved it!
After watching a video on horseback riding in Japanese, I spent about two hours horseback riding at the filming location of Jurassic World. I participated alone, but it was fun.
日本語の乗馬の方法のビデオを見た後、2時間ほどジュラシックワールドの撮影現場の乗馬をしました。
1人参加でしたが楽しかったです。
On the day of my visit, the weather unexpectedly worsened, and I couldn't go beyond the Onizuka Visitor Center. I was disappointed that I couldn't fulfill my dream of coming to the Big Island, but I was happy to see the "Silversword" (Argyroxiphium sandwicense) near the visitor center, thanks to the staff's guidance. I hope to have the opportunity to visit the summit of Mauna Kea again.
当日、まさかの天候悪化で、オニヅカビジターセンターから先に行けませんでした。
ハワイ島に来た夢が果たせずがっかりでしたが、スタッフに教えてもらって、ビジターセンターの近くにある「シルバーソード(銀剣草)」を見ることができて、それは嬉しかったです。
また機会があれば、マウナケア山頂に行きたいと思います。
We had a great time on this trip. Our tour guide, Stefan, was excellent! He was friendly and informative the entire time. Even though we took the tour on an overcast night, there was so much to see and the views were unforgettable. Five stars, would book again!!
Outstanding adventure. Would highly recommend it. The guides were knowledgeable and did an excellent job.
The clear weather quickly turned, and as soon as we got on the buggy, it started to rain. When I looked back, the two guides were fully prepared, as if they had expected it. Almost everyone was soaked through to their underwear from the heavy rain. There was no time to enjoy the scenery at all. After the activity ended, we had about ten minutes until the shuttle bus arrived. There wasn't enough room to get on, and even if we did, there were no seats available. The return bus only comes once at 1:30, which is far too infrequent. I missed the rain gear at the vending machine at the reception.
快晴から一転、バギーに乗ってすぐに雨が降り出しました。振り返るとガイドの二人は予期していたのか完全防備。ほぼ全員、下着までずぶ濡れになる程の激しい雨。景色を見る余裕は全くなかった。アクティビティ終了後、10分程で送迎のバス時間。乗れないし、乗っても座れない。帰りのバスは1時半に1本で少なすぎる。受付の自販機で雨具は見逃す。
We had a great time driving the atv and my husband did nothing but splash in the puddles. The picture stops were beautiful and very informative. Vernon and Matt were wonderful tour guides!
The refreshing feeling of taking off into the sky while watching passenger planes from Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is something you should experience at least once. You get to enjoy an aerial tour guided over key spots on Oahu, including Waikiki, Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Kualoa Ranch, and the Dole Plantation. Along the way, I had the rare opportunity to pilot the plane myself. The beauty of the ocean and the close-up view of the mountains at Kualoa Ranch are truly unique to flying in a Cessna. The staff were Japanese, which made me feel at ease during the transportation as well. I'm really glad I had this experience.
ダニエル・K・イノウエ空港から旅客機を眺めつつ空へ飛び立つ時の爽快感、一度は体験すべきです。ワイキキ都心部からダイヤモンドヘッド、ハナウマ湾、クアロアランチからのDole農園とオアフ島の要所をガイドして貰いながら空中散歩します。途中自身で操縦できる貴重な体験も出来ました。海の綺麗さはもちろんクアロアランチの山肌を近くで感じられたのはセスナ機ならではだと思います。スタッフも日本人のかたで安心して送迎までしてもらえました。体験して本当によかったです。
I joined the tour with my wife, and we were a bit nervous as we worried about altitude sickness before we joined. However, we did not need to worry too much. The guide was so professional, and he made us relax in the large van of Mercedes-Benz. In addition, the distributed dinner, hot lasagna and chocolate cake helped us get adjusted in the rest area before we were elevated to the summit. In astronomical observation, I was able to see two shooting stars. I strongly recommend this amazing tour if you come to the big island.
We cannot speak glowingly enough about the stargazing tour experience with Yoshi. He was such a knowledgeable and considerate guide. He had everything we could possibly need to be comfortable on top of the mountain, and it is so much more enjoyable making that trip as a passenger than as a driver. We cannot recommend the experience enough!
We headed over to Ko Olina and drove to the main entrance of the Four Seasons Resort. Parking was valet so be sure to bring extra cash, which was $20 plus tip. The stargazing is located on the top floor of the spa building at the tennis courts.
Our guide Greg was very knowledgable and gave interesting tidbits about how the Hawaiians used the stars both in their folklore and in their navigation. The stars are quite beautiful in Hawaii so we were glad to have been able to do stargazing here.
Some of the most unique stargazing can only be done in the islands, so this was well worth doing for us!
Mahalo! Keep reaching for the stars !
We enjoyed the whole experience. The drive up was beautiful and we loved stopping for pics. The tubing adventure was great and all the staff very friendly and helpful. Lunch afterwards was perfect! Would recommend for families, just dress appropriately and know what your children can handle.
We had a great hike with our tour guide, Ryan. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was passionate about what he does and made a great day for us. The hike was just challenging enough without being too difficult. The lunch provided was great too. We didn't know what to expect going into this but had a great time and would recommend this to anyone. It's a great way to see a part of the island that we never would have seen otherwise.
try to go on rainy days.
The ride gets you so much dust that your nose will be filled up with dust for days.
Great time 1st trip on a fishing boat with kids. Meeting many wonderful patron on the ship along with the boat captain. Our kids managed to catches the first fish during our boat trip. Definitely would plan to come back next month. Hopefully this time our boat can catch more fishes comparing to last trip. It's wasn't that much fishes floating somehow but overall still an awesome journey with kids and family's. Scenic of Waikiki is unbelievable along many Dolphin jumping and boiling on the surface of the sunrise calm Aquatic blue ocean.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review! We really enjoyed having you out with us and hope you are able to come again soon!
Horseback riding while enjoying the magnificent scenery is exceptional. There were muddy paths, rocky roads, and slopes, which added to the adventurous feeling. After riding for nearly two hours, you can also get to know the personalities of the horses. The staff, although speaking broken Japanese, guide you kindly and attentively.
雄大な景色を見ながらの乗馬は格別です。ぬかるだ道や岩がゴロゴロした道、坂道等ありアドベンチャー気分も味わえました。2時間近く乗っているので、馬の個性もわかります。スタッフの方は、片言の日本語ですが、丁寧に優しく誘導してくれます。
My first horseback riding experience was very satisfying. Unfortunately, it was drizzling, and the water dripping from the borrowed raincoat soaked my pants, but I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
There were two families from the mainland, with a total of 10 participants, and two instructors leading us. The well-trained horses sometimes didn't listen and grazed freely, and at times they picked up speed, which was a bit troublesome. However, looking back, it was all part of the charm and became a topic of conversation for family bonding.
初めての乗馬体験。とても満足なものでした。あいにくの小雨で、お借りしたレインコートから、したたる水で、パンツが濡れるほどでしたが、余りある風景を堪能させていただきました。
本土からの2組のご家族と、10名の参加者に2人のインストラクターさんが引率。慣れた馬達は、いう事を聞かずに、自由に草をはんだり、時には速足になったりで、困る事もありました。おわつてみれば、それもご愛嬌で、家族の団らんの話題になりました。
Beautiful views, super fun ride. Dress for possibility to get dirty! Awesome day.
Taking off together was wonderful, and flying was so much fun! It has been a dream of mine for a long time. The female instructor was also amazing and inspiring. This is a lifelong memory!
離陸も一緒にさせて頂き、操縦も楽しかったです!ずっと前からの夢でした。
インストラクターの女性の方も素敵で憧れます。
一生の思い出です!
We went on the raptor ATV tour. Amazing experience. The ability the see the majestic beauty of the island up close was so memorable! Our guides were so friendly and funny and made the tour even more amazing. This was one of the highlights of our Hawaiian vacation. Highly recommend.
This is one of the best days out we had on the island.
Blane the ATV guide was great, really looked after us, kept us moving at a great pace.
The two girls who took us on the Zipline were amazing, very confident and kept everyone calm.
Was a Great Day out, would highly recommend.
My wife and I went on this six years ago and had a great time. We were in Kauai with the whole family. I told them that this was a must do The whole family fro 74 to 8 years had an enjoyable time. Outstanding activity.
This tour was worth every penny. We loved the ride to the summit, the star gazing, and the wealth of knowledge provided by our tour guide, Maka.
This was so much fun. Our guides Cousin Ryan and Merlin were amazing!! Very knowledgeable and informative! We learned so much about the ranch and Hawaii! Loved riding in the 4x4’s! Views were magnificent!!!
This was the first time I stepped foot on a four wheeler and I am overly cautious about new things so this was definitely a bit different for me. I was nervous at first and was going slower than okay others in my group, the staff made sure I felt comfortable and let me go a pace I felt comfortable with so I could ease my way into it. The guides told us the history and facts about Maui at each outlook and even helped take pictures. They were extremely kind and made the tour so much fun!
Despite the rain, horseback riding was great. Transportation schedule meant an unreasonable amount of waiting around for pick-up and return.
It was my first time horseback riding, and we set off with just a brief explanation. I was a bit worried, but the horse was smart and seemed to take me along as long as I relaxed.
The scenery was amazing!
At one point, the horse started eating grass and drinking from the river. It was a wonderfully enjoyable time.
初めての乗馬で、サッパリとした説明だけで出発。大丈夫かな?と少し心配でしたが、馬が賢くて、身を任せていれば連れて行ってくれる感じでした。
景色は最高!
途中で馬が草を食べ始めたり、川の水を飲み始めたり。なんだか、ほのぼの楽しい時間が過ごせました。
