Hawaii
Views were amazing, absolutely beautiful! The guides were great people to be around. U can tell they really enjoy their job.. the experience was professional and fun.. I would do this again! What a great time we had
Super fun and exciting. Will definitely go again. Guides were fun helpful and great at making everyone feel comfortable with the experience
First time ziplining. Was nervous, and new to zipline. The crew were amazing. They did an awesome job with making sure that we were safe and made sure that we were having fun. They were very encouraging. We also learned about some of the history of the the island on this tour. Overall amazing experience. Would definitely do this again.
My family and I had a blast doing this. The views are amazing. The staff was fun and energetic. I would definitely recommend this activity.
Our tour leader Stephan was exceptional in that he does great photography and is an excellent tour guide and leader. He shared interesting info about the area as we traveled and then took great sunset photos our our group of 3 and airdropped them to us. The parkas provided were an essential and welcome addition since it was quite cold at the mountain top. Wonderful trip!
I purchased this because we did an ATV tour in the past. We normally go much faster and it’s exciting. We were in the back so i guess we can only go as fast as the line allows. We were just bouncing through those lands, but not very fast. Maybe that would have been more dangerous given the landscape, idk. That part was just making me nauseous. Also, wear a gator or cloth around your mouth. The overview of the land was great to learn. I appreciated the efforts to restore the land and enjoyed learning how the trees are connected to the Hawaiian culture. Our tour guides were informative, funny, and had great energy. I was just expecting more excitement.
Really fun time. Gentle horses. Great guide. Beautiful scenery.
This was such an amazing experience and our favorite activity that we did on the Big Island! Hiro was a wonderful tour guide, shared lots of great information and was super funny and personable. They have everything covered from making sure you're acclimated to the altitude, stopping for spectacular views, warm winter gear, food, water/hot chocolate/tea, the most amazing star-gazing I've ever seen, etc. Dress warm and don't forget your cash tip money because they will go above and beyond and you'll want to show your gratitude for the incredible experience. Do not miss this activity!
Beautiful kayaking, staff was really knowledgeable about vegetation and history! Rope swing was an added fun bonus!
Do it! You will not regret it! Thrill of being on trails on an ATV and seeing real live movie sets as well as true World War 2 bunkers. Beautiful scenery! I would do this one over and over. I wanted to go slower and see some things in more detail. DO IT!
Word to the wise: my friend who went on the tour told me to not shower and wear clothes that will get dirty. Yes, plan on being a bit dusty at the end of tour, don't plan on a fancy dinner immediately after being on this tour, lol.
Wow. What a great, amazing and sweet Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch!
Regarding any ages, we had fun driving ATV vehicle through jungle and enjoyed visiting cages, raptors, bones, fossils and many… We have a great memory for exploring and wandering Kualoa Ranch. Kualoa Ranch is so much FUN, so we ❤️ that ranch.
The two services provided us a close captions for the instruction of how to drive ATV tour with transportation. We also did a follow-up driving's instruction on uphill and downhill for the safety.
The services were more happy to assist in taking pictures of us and the others.
We can't help laughing at the great pictures and short film. Thank the service very much. The services did an outstanding and amazing jobs. We love them.
Went on the 2 hour ATV tour . It's a must . It was fantastic , and our tour guide Ivan was a blast . I recommend this for sure . A memorable experience. I will bring all my guests to this every year no doubt. Loved it .
This was so much fun. The area we drove through was absolutely gorgeous!! Breath taking views! So peaceful. The guide did a good job. We had so much reenacting a scene from Jurrasck Park. I will go again in a heartbeat
I wished we would have scheduled more activities.
Be sure and take advantage of planning some of their other opportunities like zip lining and horse back riding.
The guides were very friendly and clear-cut with how to have a fun and smooth ziplining experience! They were conversational and informative.
This activity was great. Our tour guide gave us informative details on our stops we visited. Getting to view the stars, the moon and the planets were stellar! My 7 year old had a blast. We would do it again. The area we stopped at had a restrooms and nice little playground. The sandwiches were good and the hot coco was yum!
We had an awesome time. The adventure was a little strenuous at times but we got through it and the end rewards was well worth the effort! Our guide Devan was great and encouraged everyone along the way and was very knowledgeable of the area. The waterfall was amazing but the water cold! We really enjoyed the experience. We’ll worth it!
Aloha Dave,
Glad that our guide enriched the experience and that you made it to the falls.
Reviews like yours helps match the tour to the right people and let them know what is in store.
Thanks for taking the time to share.
Keep chasing rainbows and waterfalls.
A hui hou,
Micco
Head Guide
This was the best part of our trip . We had a blast on the 2 hour ATV tour . I was in Hawaii two weeks . I went both weeks on the 2 hour ATV tour both Ivan and Keu were outstanding tour guides , love both of them . All of the staff are amazing . The gift shop is great . The food in the cafe is great . I will keep going back to this place and bring my guests .
This adventure was really fun. Just to get to drive a off road vehicle and see all the beautiful scenery and especially where they filmed a bunch of great movies too awesome
The ladies running the tour were awesome. Nice way to see some scenic spots from areas you can only take an ATV to. It was short and sweet.
This was such a fun excursion. The guides were friendly and very knowledgeable about the area on Maui. Well worth the money.
Incredible views of the ocean, mountains and valley. Interesting to be able to see all of the movie that have been filmed at kualoa ranch over the years. Our tour guide was awesome and enlightened us with lots of fun knowledge about the island.
Until I was told "You have control," I was enjoying the scenery and taking photos. Once my piloting began, I was so nervous that I could only focus on the front and the instruments, but after about five minutes, I was able to relax and take in the surrounding views. It was my first experience, and I think this is just the beginning.
As for infection control, we both wore masks and communicated through the intercom, so there were no droplets. Additionally, the cabin is ventilated with airflow coming in from the wings on both sides. Also, there is a mount for attaching a GoPro, so bringing a GoPro or similar device is possible.
「You have control」と言われるまでは景色眺めて写真撮ったりしてました。
自分の操縦が始まると緊張で前と計器しか見ていられなくなるけど、5分もすれば余裕が出て周りの景色見れました。
初めての経験でしたが、これが始まりなのかな、と思います。
感染対策はお互いマスクしてインカムでの会話になるので飛沫はありません。そして機内は左右に主翼からの風が入ってくるので換気されてます。
あとGOPROの取り付けマウントが備わっているのでGOPRO等持ち込み可能です。
Trinity and Roxy where amazing. Very informational tour around the whole ranch. Feeding the cows was a plus. Being able to have a picnic at the top with amazing views is just the best.
I participated on my first day in Hawaii!
【From Pickup to Experience】
I arrived on an international flight in the morning and was picked up directly from the airport. After the flying experience, I headed to my accommodation, so there was no need for separate transportation arrangements, making everything very smooth! Before the flying experience, they provided Hawaiian juice and snacks at the waiting area in the office, which felt luxurious and clean, almost like a lounge. I was nervous about my first flying experience, but I was able to relax. The owner and the receptionist were both Japanese, and they guided me through the hangar facilities, explaining about the airplane and taking photos.
【Flying Experience】
After that, the pilot instructor, who had finished inspecting the airplane, came to pick me up from the office and explained the flight route and weather for the day. The instructor was a Korean-Hawaiian who spoke slowly in English, and the receptionist also acted as an interpreter, making it easy to understand. (I heard there are instructors who can speak Japanese, but they were off that day.) During the explanation, they mentioned that there would be turbulence right after takeoff and suggested that I try piloting in the northern part later on, which helped me prepare mentally. They took many photos of me getting ready in the cockpit (I sat on the left side of the captain's seat!).
Finally, it was time for takeoff, but the propeller was quite loud, so I communicated with the instructor using headphones and a microphone. I could also hear instructions from the control tower through the headphones, which was a valuable experience. Right after takeoff, it was quite bumpy (they provide a bag just in case), which was a bit scary, but the scenery was so beautiful, and I could take photos freely. The view of Hawaii from the cockpit is exceptional! The instructor provided ongoing explanations about where we were flying over, including islands, capes, and filming locations from Jurassic Park, so I got a good sense of the geography since it was my first time in Hawaii. During the flying experience, the instructor gave clear instructions using simple words, and since I had requested it in advance, they took several photos of me piloting. Even as a beginner, I found the flying experience very easy and enjoyable.
【After the Flying Experience】
While waiting for the photo data, I enjoyed juice and snacks in the lounge. Since I mentioned it was my first time in Hawaii, they showed me guidebooks available in the lounge and provided various information and photos about Hawaii. When they dropped me off at my accommodation, they explained Hawaiian information along the way, making me feel glad that I participated in this activity on my first day! I would love to experience it again!
ハワイ上陸初日に参加しました!
【送迎から体験前まで】
午前中に国際線で到着して、そのまま空港に迎えに来て頂き、操縦体験後、宿泊施設へ向かったので別で送迎手配も不要で大変スムーズでした!
操縦体験前にオフィスの待機場所でハワイのジュースやお菓子をご用意頂き、オフィスの待機場所や御手洗もどこかのラウンジみたいで高級感、清潔感があって、初めての操縦体験で緊張してましたがリラックスできました。
オーナーさん、受付ご担当の方が日本の方で、格納庫の施設案内をして下さり、飛行機の説明や写真を撮ってくれました。
【操縦体験】
その後、飛行機の点検を終えたパイロットイントラの方がオフィスへ迎えに来てくれて、今日の飛行ルートや天候の説明をしてくれました。
イントラは韓国系ハワイアンの方でゆっくりの英語で話して下さり、受付ご担当の方も通訳して下さったので分かりやすかったです。(当日はお休みでしたご日本語ができるイントラの方もいらっしゃるそうです)
説明の中で今日は離陸直後から気流が悪いという事や気流の影響も踏まえて、北側の後半辺りを操縦してみましょう。という話をしてくれたので心構えができました。
搭乗時もコクピットにスタンバイしている写真もたくさん撮って頂きました。(機長席の左側に座ります!)
いよいよ離陸ですが、プロペラがかなりの音なので、ヘッドホン&マイクでイントラとやり取りします。
ヘッドホンからは管制塔からの指示?等の無線も聞こえてくるので、それも貴重な体験です。
離陸直後はかなり揺れて(一応、嘔吐用の袋を持たせてくれます)怖かったですが、それ以上に景色がとても綺麗で自由に写真も撮れます。
コクピット席で見るハワイの風景は格別です!
イントラから、どの辺りを飛んでいるのか随時説明もしてくれます。島や岬、ジュラシックパークの撮影場所の等、初めてのハワイだったので地理がよく分かりました。
操縦体験中はイントラから分かりやすい単語で指示をしてもらい、事前にお願いしていたので操縦している所の写真も何枚か撮ってもらいました。
操縦体験は初心者の私でもとても簡単に楽しめました。
【操縦体験後】
写真のデーター待ちの間、先程のラウンジでジュースとお菓子を頂き、ハワイが初めてである事を話していたのでラウンジにあるガイドブックを見せてもらったり、受付ご担当の方からハワイの写真やいろいろ情報を教えてもらう事ができました。
宿泊施設へ送って頂く際も通り道の随所随所でハワイ情報の説明をして頂きながら送って頂けたので、初日にこのアクティビティに参加して良かったと思いました!
また体験したいです!
Ok, this is honestly one of the best tours I have ever taken. The van was super comfy, and our guide Arthur was informative, friendly, and honestly just plain fun! Obvious he LOVES this tour.
Words just cannot describe the beauty of this tour. From the drive up, to the spectacular sunset, to the jaw dropping star gazing......endless beauty. Plus, Arthur made sure we stayed safe, and kept us informed about what we should do and what to expect. I felt comfortable and at ease.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this amazing experience. If you do one thing on the Big Island......do this.
We were fortunate enough to have had a new moon and clear sky up on Haleakalā back in September. We had breathtaking views of Milky Way, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, the Andromeda galaxy, and much more thanks to our amazing guide, Yoshi! Yoshi brought us a box of donuts and served us hot tea throughout the night. We were a bit fearful of driving down from the summit in the dark, but Yoshi led the way and made us feel very safe. This was easily one of our most memorable experiences during our visit to Maui and highly recommend it!
This was such an awesome experience! The sunset was beautiful being that high up and the stargazing was amazing. It was our favorite experience on the island. Our guide Gage was so great! He was so knowledgeable on the island, the history there and the stargazing. He also helped us feel comfortable and safe on the drive up and back down. We highly recommend this experience!
This was a very cool and unique tubing experience down the ditches of a former sugar plantation. The staff are fun, entertaining, and knowledgeable, including Laki and crew. You will experience views the island that you can not see otherwise. A must do for those who have not done it before. There are five tunnels you pass through along the way. Do not expect a lot of sun time. It was a very fun time.
That was the best zip line my husband and I have ever gone on. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommend!
Tour Guide was an enthusiast, patient, native who shared culture, history, science, jokes and Hawaiian myths and songs. You can't ask for more from a guide. Try to book for a moonless night for best view of stars. They use an automated 11 inch telescope. The food was surprisingly very good (vegetable lasagna), the brownie decadent and the hot chocolate and biscotti at the end a nice touch. Had an issue finding the pick up spot, but a phone call resolved this since we were close. If you miss the sign for the international market (if that's your pick up spot), look for the 76 gas station, enter there and drive to the back. Dress warmly and bring a refillable drink. Cold (but not terribly) even with the given parka and gloves. A very enjoyable 8 hour afternoon & evening l
