All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

This tour was AMAZING from start to end. Yes this is a pricer tour to book; however, you truly get a ton for your money. This is a long event; we got picked up at 2pm and back around 10pm. The pickup location was very convenient right in Kona Town. You are provided a solid dinner, dessert, and hot beverages while stargazing. You get to sit back and relax during the drive and enjoy the wealth of knowledge from the tour guide. Speaking of, our tour guide Art was absolutely outstanding! He was knowledgeable, approachable, and entertaining. Also the star-gazing area is private to tours and had a high level telescope for easy viewing. We were fortunate enough to see a really big shooting star during our viewing. We were also provided super warm parkas which was great because it is quite chilly at the summit. I could go on and on about this tour but I would 100% book this again and personally recommend this specific tour to family and friends.

P.S. Did we say how amazing Art was?!

The voucher mentioned that water would be provided, so I thought it would be cumbersome to carry water while climbing the mountain and decided not to bring any. However, water was only available during lunch, and there were no places to purchase it. At first, I reluctantly started walking towards the waterfall, but it was very humid, and the incline was steeper than I had imagined, making it a tough journey. I took a short break along the way, and realizing that continuing without hydration would be a burden to others, I decided it was best to turn back. It seems that those who participated through HIS were informed in detail to bring their own water since it would only be provided at lunchtime. I believe it's necessary to include such detailed information for future participants. It was very disappointing as this was my husband's retirement trip, and it had been three years since our last visit to Hawaii.

バウチャーに水がいただけると書いてあったので、山に登るのに荷物になると思い水は持参しませんでした。しかし水をいただけるのは昼食の時で購入する場所も一切なくで、最初は仕方なく滝に向けて歩き始めましたがとても蒸暑く想像していたより傾斜がありハードな道のりでした。途中少し休憩をしたので水分補給なしでこのまま最後まで歩くのはかえって他の方に迷惑かかると思い無理と判断して引き返しました。HISから参加した方は細かく水は昼食時に渡すので持参してくださいと記載があったようでした。今後参加する方の為にも細かい記載は必要だと思いました。主人の定年退職記念旅行で３年ぶりのハワイだったので非常に残念でした。

What an incredible ride and adventurous experience! Our guides were fantastic as well. We highly recommend this trip! The scenic views were breathtaking, and trekking on the ATV’s was super fun.

I was very healed by horseback riding while enjoying the great nature of Kualoa Ranch! The instructor guided us while explaining the history of Kualoa Ranch. The instructor was very attentive, checking occasionally if the length of the stirrups was okay, asking how I was feeling, and if I was tired! They also took photos for us! It was a 2-hour course, but it felt very long and was a satisfying tour!

クアロアランチの大自然を眺めながらの乗馬でとても癒されました！
インストラクターの方が、クアロアランチの歴史について説明しながら案内してくれました。インストラクターの方が、ときどき鎧の長さが大丈夫か確認してくださったり、気分はどうか、疲れてないか聞いてくださったりと丁寧な対応でした！写真も撮っていただけます！
2時間コースですが、とても長く感じる満足なツアーでした！

The tour was everything we hoped for. Fernando was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable about Hawaiian history, religious significance of Mauna Kea and stargazing.

Great way to spent the day! Perfect for couples, everyone uses a double kayak. The included lunch was nice at the waterfall. Easy hike after the kayak route to the waterfall, any type of shoes or no shoes are doable. Our tour guide Izzy was super friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you !!

I enjoyed seeing Jupiter, Mars , Saturn and various stars through a powerful telescope. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable pointing out lots of constellations that are visible to the naked eye. The sky was very clear, so we were able to see a lot.

The guides were great the views are awesome! Guides help you through everything and make the tour even better

Jess, Emma & horses were ALL AWESOME! Gentle, beautiful horses, great guides, beautiful location.helped make my MAW Kid’s trip a HUGE success!

Great experience! We also used the shuttle service and we’re able to look and enjoy the scenic drive while the driver told us about the areas we passed.

Well worth the money since getting up to the site is nearly impossible logistically for a rental car. More importantly, our guide, Gage, was so exceptionally knowledgeable on everything from astronomy to Hawaii geography.

The tour was a small group of four people, my wife and I along with another Japanese couple, and our guide. It was my first experience riding a horse, and at first, I was scared and anxious until I got used to it. But after about 30 minutes, it became fun, and the horse was so well-behaved that I felt safe riding! The magnificent views of Kualoa and the ocean were breathtaking, and the breeze was pleasant. I highly recommend it over a bus tour!!! The only downside was that, since there were only Japanese people, there was no announcement about this area being a filming location for Jurassic Park... I wish there had been some explanation in English...

私達夫婦ともう1組の日本人夫婦の4人とガイドさんの少人数でのツアーでした。
乗馬初体験で最初は怖くて、慣れるまで不安でしたが30分も経つと楽しくなって、馬もお利口なので安心して乗れました！
クアロアの壮大な絶景と海が見えて
風が心地よいし、バスツアーよりもオススメです！！！
残念だった点は、日本人しかいないせいか
このエリアがジュラシックパークの撮影地だったとかそういったアナウンスが一切なかったことです…
英語で良いから説明が欲しかった…

I was anxious about renting a car for the first time, but I arrived without getting lost. The weather was clear, and the view was fantastic. The staff were all cheerful and friendly. They took photos for each group, and the cows that were around made for great memories. I'm in my 60s, but it was totally fine.

初めてのレンタカーで不安でしたが、迷わず到着できました。
快晴で見晴らしも最高でした。スタッフさんたちは皆明るく親切です。
グループごとに写真を撮ってくださいます。ところどころにいる牛さんたちも写ったりしていい思い出になりました。60代ですが全然大丈夫です。

My wife and I had a blast. The scenery was beautiful the tubing was excellent and the tour guides looked like they were having as much fun as we were. I can't recommend this enough. Do yourself a favor and do this tour.

I was able to experience the great outdoors on horseback. It was an environment that cannot be enjoyed in Japan. The horses were calm and safe. However, one downside was that the instructions were only in English, so I couldn't understand most of the explanations, which was a bit disappointing.

大自然を馬にのって感じることができました。
日本では味わえない環境でした。
馬もおとなしくて安全でした。
ただ、一つ、英語のみの案内なので、説明はほとんど分からなかったのがさみしかったです。

We spent the morning ATV riding. The guide was informative and made sure we had time on the trail to ask questions at our designated stops. What beautiful views and what a beautiful property. Certainly well taken care of and great example of sustainablility and steward of the land.

All the horses were beautiful! The men in charge took their time pairing each horse to the correct rider depending on their experience in riding. Really enjoyed the ride. The views on the ride where outstanding.

Due to the decrease in Japanese tourists during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were only two of us Japanese among about 20 people on the same tour (most were from the mainland United States). The guide was Japanese, but the explanations during the transfer were in English. However, they provided us with individual guidance in Japanese, so we were able to enjoy the experience without any issues. When watching the sunset from Mauna Kea, it was colder than I had imagined. They do lend out down jackets, but depending on the season, I recommend dressing warmly in advance.

The stargazing was amazing. As soon as we got off the van, I was moved by the breathtaking starry sky that I had never seen before. We were able to see Saturn through a telescope, and there were opportunities for photography as well. I'm really glad I participated. If you want to see the stars beautifully, I recommend checking the lunar phase before joining.

コロナ禍で日本人観光客が減少した為、同じツアーの役20人中日本人は私たち2人でした（他はアメリカ本土の方が多かったです）。ガイドの方は日本人ですが、移動中の説明は英語でした。私たちには個別に日本語でガイドしてくださったので、何も問題なく過ごすことが出来ました。マウナケア山からサンセットを見る際は、想像以上に寒かったです。ダウンを貸して頂けますが、時期によっては事前に厚着していく事をおすすめします。
そして、星空観測は最高でした。バンを降りた途端に今まで見たこと無い満点の星空に感動しました。望遠鏡では土星も見せていただき、写真撮影もありで、本当に参加して良かったです。星を綺麗に見たい場合は月齢を確認しての参加をお勧めします。

I felt a bit guilty about riding the horse itself, but I was able to experience a very precious time!

お馬さんに乗ること自体お馬さんに申し訳ない気持ちでしたが、とても貴重な時間を体験することができました！

The weather was bad (it was very windy), so we couldn't experience takeoff and landing, but we were able to pilot the aircraft in stable areas, which was very good. I think it's best to book for takeoff and landing when the weather is nice. The pilots respond kindly in English, so if you can speak even a little English, you can experience it with peace of mind. From booking to Q&A, we were assisted by Japanese staff, which was reassuring. Thank you for accommodating us as a couple for two consecutive days.

天候が悪く(風が強かった為)、離陸着陸は体験出来ませんでしたが、安定したエリアでは旋回など操縦させて頂き、とても良かったです。離着陸をどうして体験したい方は天候の良い時期を見て予約が良いと思います。パイロットも優しい英語で受け答えして頂けるので、英語が少しでも話せたら、安心して体験出来ます。予約から質疑応答は日本人の方々に対応頂けるので、安心です。2日連続夫婦揃って対応いただきありがとうございました。

The guide was very friendly, kind and helpful. The horses were really smart and well trained. It was the first time for us to do horse riding, but nothing was difficult and had a really good time spending time enjoying the beautiful beach while riding the cute horses. We enjoyed this activity the most between all the things we did during our vacation in Hawaii.
The transportation to this place was a bit poor. We took Uber to this place and tried to schedule an Uber/Lyft for going back before hand but it was unavailable around this spot. On the way back, there was no Uber/ Lyft available so we had to use taxi which cost us triple. I would recommend renting a car to get to this place or set up a taxi pick up in advance so you wouldn’t have to worry.
The activity itself was really good and it was worth paying all the cost getting here and going back as well.
We would definitely want to go back next time we visit Oahu again!

For our once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, my husband and I discussed wanting to have a memorable experience, so we decided to book this activity (*^^*).

The view of Hawaii and Oahu from the Cessna was breathtaking ( ･ ･̥ )♡ It was different from seeing the scenery from an airplane; we could truly feel the essence of Hawaii's sky while enjoying the stunning views, which was wonderful (*^^*). I believe this Cessna experience allows you to fully appreciate the beauty of the ocean and nature from a wide perspective (*^^*). The vividly blue sea, so clear that you could see the bottom, was like a painting, and we enjoyed the view of Diamond Head from above. I felt we had a truly wonderful experience, feeling the grandeur of Oahu's nature (*^^*).

Such an experience is rare, and to ensure I could reminisce about it after returning home, I entrusted the piloting to my husband and took photos and videos from the back seat. My husband, while piloting, was also able to enjoy the scenery and seemed very happy with the experience (*^^*). The piloting was reassuring as a strong, reliable instructor was beside him giving guidance (*^^*).

Additionally, the kind and friendly father of the couple who run this company picked us up from the hotel. During the ride, he shared many points about piloting the Cessna and stories about Hawaii, which made us very happy ^ ^. After the Cessna experience, we were treated to celebratory champagne, sweets, and other drinks on the lounge sofa, providing us with a truly luxurious time ( ･ ･̥ )♡. Thank you for taking so many photos of us as a couple (*^^*).

When we come back to Hawaii next time, I definitely want to show this stunning view to our children, so we will be repeating this experience (*^^*)♡ Thank you so much.

一生に一度のハネムーンという機会に、思い出に残る体験をしたいねと夫と相談し、今回こちらのアクティビティを予約させていただきました(*^^*)

セスナから一望できたHawaii、オアフ島は絶景でした( ･ ･̥ )♡飛行機から景色を見るのとまた違って、Hawaiiの空を生味に感じながら絶景を眺められるので、とても良かったです(*^^*)海や自然の美しさを広い目線で堪能出来るのは、このセスナの体験かなと思えます(*^^*)
絵に描いたような鮮やかな青い海は底も透けて見えるほど綺麗で、ダイヤモンドヘッドも上空からの景色を楽しませていただきました。オアフ島の雄大な自然を感じられて、本当に素敵な体験が出来たなと思います(*^^*)
こんな経験なかなか出来ないし、帰国後もこの体験を思い返せるようにと、セスナ操縦を夫に任せた私は後部座席からずっと写真や動画を撮ってました。笑
操縦した夫も、操縦しながら景色も堪能出来てて、良い経験が出来たと嬉しそうでした(*^^*)
操縦は、頼もしいたくましいお兄さんが横で付いてレクチャーしてくださるので安心できます(*^^*)
また、ホテルまでピックアップしてくださった、こちらの会社(?)を運営されてるご夫婦のお父さんもとてもお優しい気さくな方で、ホテル送迎の道中もセスナの操縦ポイントやHawaiiのお話を沢山してくださり嬉しかったです^ ^
セスナ体験後は、ラウンジのソファでお祝いのシャンパンやスイーツ、他ドリンクをご提供下さり、至れり尽くせりの時間を経験させていただけて最高でした( ･ ･̥ )♡
夫婦での写真も沢山撮ってくださりありがとうございました(*^^*)
次にHawaiiに来る時にも、ぜひ子供たちにもこの絶景を見させてあげたいなと思うので、リピートさせていただきます(*^^*)♡本当にありがとうございました。

Stefan waited after others had left, and got us the most amazing photos and memories. Thank you to Stefan for caring for the guests.

Wow just wow. Fast UTV, beautiful farm ground! Thank you

An unreal experience. You get to be in the Hawaii fresh air and nature while enjoying an experience so similar to a waterpark.

Don and Austin were perfect guides! Lots of fun, history, and current events. I'll be back!

Our guides, Meeks, Val and Jordie were all charismatic and fun while making sure we were safe. We did a total of 7 zip lines, each a little longer than the last with some cool activities in between. And we loved every second of it! You also get a nice ride to base camp and a chance to see some of the landmarks throughout Kualoa Ranch. I would definitely recommend!!

It was a fantastic tour! From the ease of meeting the guide at a local pick up point, the his knowledge of the islands, the geography, and of course the telescopes and sky, to the use of parkas, pants and gloves... it was a wonderful experience! We went on an almost full moon night so only the brightest of stars were visible, but we were still able to see Saturn and Jupiter through their telescopes. Dress warm... and have a great time!

Stefan was a great guide and we loved how he made a concerted effort to make sure that we got some amazing photos with the sunset and stars.

The skydiving experience itself was amazing. The instructor was kind and explained everything in Japanese, which made it very enjoyable. I was able to see a rainbow from above, and I had a lot of fun posing in the air.

However, there was one issue: I forgot to capture video footage while in the air. I really wanted to have that as a memory from my honeymoon, so it was quite disappointing.

There was another tour participant with the same name as mine, so it seems I was mistaken for that person. They had videos and photos, but I had neither.

I thought it was just bad luck, but I noticed in reviews that others also experienced camera-related issues, suggesting that this company has not addressed similar mistakes in the past. The contract I signed at the reception also noted that I had opted for video, so I believe it was a preventable error.

The instructor did apologize properly and mentioned that I could jump again the next day (it wasn't possible on the same day because the shop closed). I had other plans the following day, so I ultimately didn't jump again. The instructor was very nice, though.

スカイダイビング自体は最高でした。インストラクターさんは優しいし、日本語で説明してくれたりでとても楽しかったです。
上空から虹も見る事ができたし、空飛んでいる間色んなポーズをしてとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ただ1点だけ、上空での動画の撮り忘れがありました。新婚旅行の記念に残したかったのでとても残念でした。

私と同じ名前のツアー参加者がいたので、間違えられていた様です。その人の動画と写真はあったのですが、私の分は動画も写真もありませんでした。

運が悪かっただけかと思ったのですが、口コミに私以外の方もカメラ関係のトラブルがあったことが記載されていたので、この会社は以前から同様のミスがあっても対策されていない様です。
受付で記載した契約書にもビデオをオプションで選択したことを追記していただいていたので、防げるミスだったかと思います。

インストラクターさんからはきちんと謝罪もありましたし、翌日なら再度飛べること（当日中はお店が閉店するから無理でした。翌日は他の予定があったので結局再度飛ぶことはしませんでした。）、市内まで車で送ろうか、と提案もしてくださりました。インストラクターさんはとても良い方だったと思います。
