Hawaii
I was able to walk through the jungle-like trees and feel the essence of Hawaii, enjoying the rare and precious scenery along with the refreshing air. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with the amount of water at Manoa Falls for the tour, but the lunch sandwich was delicious, and I'm glad I signed up for this tour.
ハワイらしさを感じるジャングルのような木々の中を
歩いて珍しい貴重な景色や清々しい空気で気持ち良く
参加する事が出来ました
正直、マノアの滝ツアーとしては滝の水の量が
少なくて少々残念に思いましたが
ランチのサンドイッチも美味しく頂けましたし
このツアーに申込んで良かったです
The adventure was awesome! We had a blast even in the rain! Our kids were amazing and made it so fun!! I think you should add a lunch experience at the picnic tables. Our ride was at 12:30 and it was 2.5 hours and we hadn’t had lunch so that addition would be great!
Excellent experience! The Paradise Team was very kind all the time and pilot share a lot of information during the flight. Definitely a must of Oahu.
While riding, the car shakes violently, giving a sensation similar to a roller coaster. Additionally, the scenery visible during the ride and when getting on or off is very beautiful, making it enjoyable for both adults and children. The tour lasts about an hour and a half, which was more than enough to fully enjoy it. I believe it's worth going to Kualoa Ranch just for this experience.
走行中は車が激しく揺れ、ジェットコースターのような感覚です。また、乗車中や途中で下車した時に見られる景色はとても綺麗で、大人も子供も楽しめると思います。
ツアー時間も約1時間半もあり、十分満喫できました。
これを乗るためだけにでも、クアロアランチに行く価値はあると思います。
I understood the meeting time, but my English skills were not sufficient to catch the details, so after gathering, I wasn't sure what to do. As time passed, I thought it was strange and asked the staff in my limited English, and they helped me out. I was able to check the operation methods through a Japanese video and could operate without any issues. They explained the filming locations along the way, but I couldn't catch most of it, which made me feel sad. The buggy ride itself was fun.
英語能力が足りず集合時間は理解できたのですが、細かいところが聞き取れず集まった後どうすればよいのかわからず時間経過しておかしいなと思い、スタッフにつたない英語で質問し事なきを得ました。操作方法は、日本語ビデオで確認でき問題なく操作できます。途中ロケ地の説明をしてくださるのですが、ほとんどキャッチできず悲しい思いをしました。バギー自体は楽しかったです。
I know, I know, everyone likes to use the words “best” “amazing” “trip of a lifetime” THIS excursion IS absolutely THE best trip you will book! It may seem a little pricey, but the time, care, and knowledge that our tour guide Travis invested in our group was top of the line!
First of all, do not underestimate the “cold” warnings. It was frigid, cold to the bone so, dress appropriately! If you have a beanie, bring it for this trip.
Secondly, be prepared for the potential that the actual road up to the summit may be closed. Our group (along with 15 others) was told the road was closed and we would not be able to drive to the summit. Travis was able to talk with another tour operator (friends are good) and together they got the rangers to open the road for us last minute!! Yay!
Okay, so let’s talk dinner for a second. They served a vegetarian lasagna that was to die for most of my family are hard core meat eaters, so i was surprised at how quickly they snarfed it all down and EVERYONE commented on how “great” it was Make sure to bring your own water bottle (there is fresh water at the first stop) or whatever you want to drink.
Once we hit the road to climb the summit, the road was definitely an “off road” experience. Lots of major bumps but totally fun . The drive up was spectacular, so have your camera ready. The view from the top will blow your mind. Take a lot of pics and enjoy!
Then on to stargazing. Totally over the top and way exceeded my expectations! Travis had his own telescope that was a high end piece of equipment to say the least! He has so much knowledge that he was eager to share. We even got to see the once in a lifetime “green” comet he spent at least an extra hour with us up there when all the other tour operators were leaving. It was truly the most memorable experiences of my life! Mahalo to the entire team that i know has to work hard behind the scenes for this…my entire family is so grateful for the experience
The location is about a 30-minute drive from Waikiki, and picking up participants in Waikiki took quite a bit of time. Although it is a hiking tour, there are some steep paths, and since it was raining on and off, I was putting on and taking off my raincoat, which made me sweat a lot and quite tired. (It seems to rain often there, so I think non-slip shoes and a raincoat are necessary.) Also, there are quite a few mosquitoes, so insect repellent spray or long pants are recommended. (I wore shorts and got bitten in several places.) The mystical forest and the fairly large waterfall were amazing to see. On the way back, we had lunch at Tantalus Lookout. I had a pastrami sandwich, and the dressing was especially delicious.
場所はワイキキから車で30分程度のところにあり、
ワイキキでの参加者のピックアップの方が時間がかかったぐらいです。
ハイキングツアーとなっていますが、
結構な坂道になっており、雨も降ったり止んだりで
カッパを着たり脱いだりしていたため、結構汗をかき疲れました。
(雨が降ることが多いところらしいので、
滑りにくい靴とカッパは必要だと思います)
また、蚊が結構いるため虫除けスプレーか長ズボンがお勧めです。
(短パンで行ったため何ヶ所か蚊に刺されました)
神秘的な森と、結構大きな滝が見れて最高でした。
帰りはタンタラスの丘で昼食。パストラミサンドにしましたが、
特にドレッシングがとても美味しかったです。
Experiencing hands-on piloting is quite rare globally, making it a very valuable experience. Takeoffs and landings are handled by the pilot, but if you follow the rules given and build a trusting relationship with the pilot, you may be allowed to pilot the aircraft solo from a relatively stable point. Having many Japanese staff members provides a great sense of reassurance. I highly recommend it!
体験操縦ができるのは世界的にも稀で、とても貴重な経験ができます。離着陸はパイロットにお任せですが、言われたルールを守っていただき、パイロットとの信頼関係が生まれれば、ある程度安定したタイミングからひとりで操縦させてもらえます。日本人のスタッフが多くいらっしゃることはとても安心感があります。おすすめです!
I was treated very politely and friendly, which made me feel at ease. I waited in the lounge as a companion, and I was able to enjoy drinks and snacks, as well as books like the "Rurubu" guide, so I didn't get bored while waiting. My husband, after his flight experience, was very happy and said he thoroughly enjoyed Oahu from the sky. However, it seems he couldn't directly control the takeoff and landing (perhaps because the wind was a bit strong), and he really wanted to do that. But he was excited that he could maneuver the turns in the air with his own controls. The staff were truly attentive and made it a pleasant experience to participate in the tour. Thank you very much!
とても丁寧にフレンドリーに接して頂き 安心できて良かったです 私は付き添いでラウンジで待っていたのですが 飲み物やスナックを頂き るるぶなどの本もあり 退屈せずに待てました 体験操縦終わった主人はとても喜んでおり 空からのオアフ島を堪能出来たそうです ただ離着陸の操縦を直接出来なかったみたいで(風が強めだったからでしょうか)本当はしたかったみたいです でも空の上での旋回は自分のハンドルで出来たみたいで興奮していました スタッフの方々は本当に至れり尽くせりで気持ち良くツアーに参加出来ました 本当に有難う御座いました
We raced through bumpy roads in a four-person buggy!! Everyone was screaming with excitement. It felt like a great way to relieve stress and clear my mind. Running through such beautiful nature in the open air is something I rarely get to do, so it was thrilling and a bit nerve-wracking, but so much fun!
P.S. On sunny days, when driving on dry roads, you can borrow helmets and goggles, so no worries there, but it's essential to bring your own mask (laughs).
4人乗りバギーで凸凹道を激走!!
みんなでキャー!!キャー!!大はしゃぎ。
なんだかストレスも発散できて心もスッキリ(^^)/
こんな大自然の中をオップンエアーで走ることなんてないから、
ワクワク、ちょっぴりドキドキで楽しかった~!
ps・晴れた日、乾いた道路を走行する時、ヘリメット・ゴーグルは貸してもらえますから安心ですが、他に自前でマスクは必須です(笑)
Very little elevation gain on the trail, so it’s a very nice walk for most.
The amount of water coming down the falls depends on how much it has been raining. For us there was only a trickle.
They can’t take you to the official Tantalus Lookout inside the state park any more due to current restrictions, but you’ll still be treated to a pretty nice viewpoint overlooking the city after your picnic lunch.
We loved our e-bike tour! Our guide was very attentive and always willing to help! They took really good care of us! The views are stunning!
Would do it again!
Our driver/guide made the entire tour entertaining and with fun learning about Hawaiian history.
I challenged myself to horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, located about an hour by bus from Honolulu.
It seems to be a very popular tour, as the large shuttle bus was nearly full with other guests heading to different attractions at the ranch.
Horseback riding check-in times are divided into groups of about 5 to 6 people. I should have stored my belongings in a locker before that time, but I had a bit of trouble. I regret not having checked in my things earlier.
Video recording is prohibited, but photography is allowed. It's convenient to have a neck strap for your smartphone.
You confirm how to ride and safety precautions by watching a video in Japanese. Then, you immediately get on the horse, and the approximately two-hour horseback riding tour begins without any practice.
One instructor and 5 to 6 beginners start riding through the woods. This casual vibe definitely gives off an American impression.
After a while, I could see the green of the steep mountains on my left, cliffs on my right, and the blue sea stretching beyond the cliffs. It was breathtakingly beautiful. However, since I was on a mischievous horse, it felt a bit life-threatening (laughs).
As we continued, we reached the meadows that served as filming locations for the movie "Jurassic Park" and the drama "LOST." The scenery here was very moving. The two hours flew by, and I had a great time.
Depending on the horseback riding check-in time, the bus times for the return trip may vary. If you have other plans in the evening, you might need to be careful.
ホノルルからバスで1時間ほどのところにある、クアロア牧場で、乗馬に挑戦してきました。
とても人気のあるツアーのようで、送迎の大型バスは、同牧場の他のアトラクションの方々と同乗で、ほぼ満席状態でした。
乗馬は、5~6人ほどのグループごとにチェックインの時間が分けられています。その時間までに荷物をロッカーへ入れておくべきだったのですが、少し手間取りました。早めに預けておけば良かったと反省しています。
動画は禁止ですが、写真撮影はOK。スマホ用の首掛けストラップを用意しておくと便利です。
乗馬の仕方や注意事項は、日本語のビデオを見て確認します。そして、すぐに馬に乗り、何の練習もなく、約2時間の乗馬ツアーが始まりました。
インストラクター1人と、5~6人の初心者が、馬に乗って林の中を歩き出します。こういうザックリした感じは、やっぱりアメリカだな、という印象です。
しばらく行くと、左手には切り立つ山の緑、右手に崖、崖の先に広がる海の青が見えてきました。感動の美しさです。しかし、ヤンチャな馬の背に乗っていたので、ちょっと命がけでもありました(笑)
さらに歩いていくと、映画『ジュラシックパーク』や、ドラマ『LOST』のロケ地になった草原に出ます。ここはとても感動的な景色。2時間はあっという間で、とても楽しかったです。
乗馬のチェックインタイムによって、帰りに乗れるバスの時間が違うようです。夕方に他の予定を入れているときは、注意が必要かもしれません。
My girlfriend and I got to enjoy a private tour by Yoshi up Haleakalā, and I’ve rarely encountered a tour guide with such love for his profession and adopted home. Unfortunately it was very cloudy so we couldn’t see the stars, but Yoshi took us to a great pizza place and we chatted for several hours and learned so much about Japan and Maui. We will be back next time we’re in Maui and we will make sure it’s during the summer months for better weather conditions. I would strongly recommend taking a tour with him (and when given the option go for ice cream), as he will work so hard to ensure you have the greatest time.
Also don’t be too worried about it being cold, it was around 45F when we were there, and at least for me I was fine in a t-shirt.
Awesome went with my 2 older kids and we had a blast wonderful people 100% customers service
I was very impressed by the magnificent scenery that you can't see in Japan! It's also a filming location for movies, so I recommend it as a pilgrimage site! The roads are bumpy with sharp curves and slopes, so it might be scary for those who don't drive often. Also, it gets dustier than expected, so I think it's good to pay attention to your clothing and belongings.
日本では見ることの出来ない壮大な景色にとても感動しました!映画のロケ地にもなっているので、聖地巡礼としてもオススメです!
道がでこぼこで急カーブや坂もあるので、普段あまり運転しない方は怖いかもしれません。
そして予想以上に砂だらけになるので、服装や持ち物に注意すると良いと思います。
We have been ziplining in Mexico and Costa Rica. Maybe we were spoiled. The Maui runs were shorter. Still fun. But maybe better for people that haven't done it in other places.
We really enjoyed our full day tour filled with waterfalls, visiting volcanoes national park and capping it off with a stargazing tour at the end. Our guide was good but would have liked him to relate more of his stories to our grandaughter. When we did the stargazing, he was great. You could tell this was his passion.
It was the best experience of my life.
The stunning sunset and the starry sky!
There was only one other group of Japanese participants with us, but they followed up in Japanese, which made me so happy I could cry.
I also got to take a lot of wonderful photos.
If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to participate.
Thank you very much.
人生で最高の体験でした。
圧巻のサンセットと満点の天空!
日本人参加者は私たちともう一組だけでしたが、キチンと日本語でフォローしてくれて涙が出るほど嬉しかったです。
また素敵な写真を沢山撮ってもらいました。
また機会があったら是非参加したいです。
本当にありがとうございました。
The tour was wonderful! Sarah was our guide was fun and informative. It was very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour.
We were picked up promptly and driver very informative. Dropped off on time to do our event. Upon completion driver there with our fresh malasadas. Then took us and got us seated for our açaí bowls. Came back, on schedule, an hour later and then dropped us back off at our hotel. All so perfectly done and what a pleasant driver.
Excellent hotel to crater service. Adam was courteous and knowledgeable.
I participated with my family, and it was a truly valuable experience to be able to pilot a Cessna. The pilot who accompanied us was very kind, and it was an enjoyable flight. Flying around Oahu, crossing over Waikiki and Diamond Head, was refreshing and exciting! The program is fantastic as it allows you to take in the sights of Oahu from above, as you circle all the way around to the North Shore. Of course, holding the controls and piloting really makes you feel like a bird! It's a rare experience, so if you have the chance, definitely go for it!
家族で参加したのですが、
何せ、セスナを操縦できるということで大変貴重な体験でした。
同乗したパイロットの方が大変優しく、楽しいフライトでした。
オアフ島を1周、ワイキキ市街からダイヤモンドヘッドを横切り、上空を飛行するのは爽快で、興奮しました!
ノースショアまでぐるっと1周丸々周るので、オアフ島を俯瞰で観光できる、素晴らしいプログラムです。
もちろん、操縦桿を握って操縦すると本当に鳥になったような気分です!
滅多にできる経験ではないのでチャンスがあれば是非!!
Absolutely beautiful! Owen and David were great guides and full of information. I would highly recommend this.
So much fun beautiful scenery staff was knowledgeable and nice.
So fun and relaxing! The staff was great! I was a little worried because we were the only couple with kids on our tour but everyone was awesome making sure they fit in and were safe. We all had a really good time! Love the history of it too!
Due to the rainy season in January, unfortunately, it rained quite a bit on the day, but it stopped by the time we went horseback riding. They provide a raincoat (a sturdy one), so you don't need to bring your own. The instructional video was in Japanese, but the instructor spoke only English. The horses are cute, well-trained, and smart. The scenery is magnificent and definitely worth seeing. Despite the unfortunate weather, I was very satisfied with this optional tour. The downside is that the shuttle bus was as cold as a refrigerator, so warm clothing is necessary.
1月雨季のため、残念ながら当日も結構な雨、
でも、乗馬する頃には止みました。
レインコート(生地のしっかりしたもの)は
貸してくれるので、持参しなくてもいいです。
説明のビデオは、日本語でしたが、
インストラクターは、英語オンリー
馬は可愛い、よく躾けられて賢いです。
景色は壮大です。是非、見るべき、
あいにくの天気でしたが、このオプショナルツアー大満足です。
マイナス点は、送迎のバス内が、
冷蔵庫のように寒い事ですね。防寒が、必要。
Had a great time, hailey was amazing and so was her first hand. Got to see some really pretty fish and caught a couple ourselves.
Amazing photos! Thank you for sharing and for the kind review!
It was cloudy, but driving the buggy on the vast grounds was an amazing experience! Although it was only for two hours, we stopped at various points for photo opportunities! We went as a pair, and since we could switch drivers four times, we each got to drive twice!
I thought it might be a bit chilly, so I wore a T-shirt, long pants, and a light windbreaker! Almost everyone except for the Japanese was in T-shirts and shorts!
There were no staff who spoke Japanese, and everything from the initial explanation upon arrival to the end was in English, so there were many things I didn't understand. However, before driving the buggy, I was relieved to watch a Japanese explanation video!
I showed my passport before getting on the shuttle bus and presented my Japanese driver's license before driving the buggy. They provided helmets and goggles! Since we drove in a line of about six buggies, the dust from the buggy in front hit us directly, making our faces completely black (laughs). It might be good to have something like a mask or bandana to cover your mouth. After the buggy ride, you can wash off some of the dust at the provided water station, but without cleansing, only about 30% of it comes off, so it might be better not to wear makeup... (laughs). The photo time during the ride also resulted in very dusty faces, so in a way, it became a good memory! (laughs)
Since the clothes also get brown from the dust, it might be better to wear clothes that you don't mind throwing away! After it was over, we had free time until the bus pickup, and we had a light snack at the cafeteria. They had various options like hot dogs and hamburgers.
There are lockers available, but they said cash wouldn't give change, so payment was by card. Only VISA or MasterCard could be used. I think the cafeteria also accepted only VISA or MasterCard!
Driving the buggy was easy! The scenery was beautiful, and there were many filming locations, making it a lot of fun!
曇りでしたが、広大な敷地でバギーを運転し、最高な経験になりました!2時間ですが、所々でバギーをとめて、写真時間がありました!2人で行きましたが、4回交代できたので2回ずつ運転することができました!
肌寒いかなと思ったので、Tシャツ+長ズボン+薄手のウィンドブレーカーみたいなものを羽織って行きました!日本人以外はほとんどTシャツ+短パンでした!
日本語が話せるスタッフがおらず、到着後の最初の説明から最後まで、全て英語だったので、わからないことも多々ありましたが、バギーの運転の前には、日本語の説明ビデオが見られたので安心しました!
送迎バスに乗る前にパスポートを提示し、バギー運転前に日本の免許証を提示しました。
ヘルメットとゴーグルは貸してくれました!6台くらいで連なって走行するので、前のバギーの砂埃が直撃して、顔は真っ黒になります(笑)口元を覆えるような、マスクやバンダナみたいなものがあると良いかもしれません。バギー終了後に、備え付けの水道で、なんとなく砂埃は落とせますが、クレンジングがないと、3割くらいしか落ちないので、お化粧しないほうがいいかも、、笑 途中の写真Timeも真っ黒な顔だったので、ある意味いい思い出になりました!笑
洋服も砂埃で茶色くなるので、捨てても大丈夫なような洋服がいいかもしれないです!
終わった後はバスのお迎えまで自由時間で、カフェテリアで軽食を食べました。ホットドッグやハンバーガーなど色々あります。
ロッカーもありますが、キャッシュはお釣りがでないとのことで、カード支払いでした。VISAかMasterしか使えないです。カフェテリアもVISAかMasterだった気がします!
バギーの運転は簡単でした!とても景色もいいし、映画の撮影場所が多く、楽しかったです!
