My first experience with skydiving was incredibly fun!!! The instructors were great at easing our nerves, constantly chatting with us, and everyone had a very friendly atmosphere. We boarded the Cessna and ascended higher and higher, securely harnessed to the instructor. At this point, I started to feel it... I thought, "This is scary," but I enjoyed the view from the Cessna! Then the door opened...
I was the third to jump, and before I knew it, it was my turn. The moment I jumped, it felt like my insides were floating... I thought, "Wow, it's just like a roller coaster," but that feeling lasted only a few seconds! After that, the wind pressure was so intense that it wasn't scary at all! During the one-minute free fall, I had requested a video, so I posed with the instructor and flashed a peace sign at the cameraman (^^)!
I even had the leisure to enjoy the scenery, it was truly the best! After the parachute opened, the instructor swung us side to side like a roller coaster, which was so much fun too! For those who get motion sickness or aren't fond of roller coasters, it might be tough?? But I think if you ask them to stop, they will! I was screaming with joy, so they did it multiple times for me. Haha!
Once the parachute opened, it was really slow, allowing me to enjoy the view a lot! We landed safely—my body was exhausted! Haha! But it was so much fun, I'm really glad I did it!!
Finally, I checked the video and purchased it! They quickly transferred it to my iPhone via AirDrop (^^). There was also a box for tips for the instructor and cameraman, so I gave them each $20! (I went there on my own, so I didn't use transportation services.) I want to do it again when I go to Hawaii!!!
スカイダイビング初体験はかなり楽しかったです!!!インストラクターの方たちも、緊張をほぐすために、ずっと声をかけてくれたり、みんなとてもフランクな雰囲気でした。セスナに乗って、上はどんどん上がり、インストラクターとガッチリハーネスをつなぎます。もうこの辺から実感が。。怖いなーと思いながらも、セスナからの景色を楽しみました!そしてドアがopen。。
3番目に飛びましたが、もうあっという間に自分の番。飛んだ瞬間は内臓が浮く感じ、、、わージェットコースターと同じだーと思ったら、それはほんの数秒!あとは風圧がすごくて、全然怖くない!そこから1分くらいのフリーフォールは動画を頼んでいたので、インストラクターとポーズしたり、カメラマンに向かってピース(^^)!
景色も楽しむ余裕もでてきて、ほんと最高!
パラシュートが開いてからは、インストラクターがジェットコースターのように左右にブランコのようにぐわんぐわん〜それも楽しすぎました♡笑
酔う方や、ジェットコースター苦手な方は無理かも??けどやめてって言えばやめてくれると思います!私はキャーキャー言いながら喜んでいたので、何度もやってくれましたが。笑
パラシュート開いてからは、本当にゆっくりなので、景色もすごくエンジョイできました!
無事着陸〜!もう体がぐったり!笑
けど楽しすぎてほんとにやってよかった!!
最後に動画チェックをして、動画購入!エアドロップでiPhoneにすぐ入れてくれます(^^)
そして、インストラクターとカメラマンさんにチップを入れるboxがあるので、20ドルずつ渡しました!(自分で現地に行ったので、送迎は使っていません)
またハワイ行ったらやりたい〜!!!

It has been my dream to go horseback riding in Hawaii with my family, and it finally came true. I was wondering if we could ride for two hours, but with the breathtaking scenery and the well-behaved horses, I felt no anxiety, and the time flew by. The facilities were all clean, and the hamburgers and acai bowls we had afterward were delicious! I will never forget the relaxing view I had while riding the horse.

This was my fourth time skydiving, and I was able to see a rainbow from inside the Cessna, which was absolutely beautiful! Depending on the instructor, the descent can be quite intense with a lot of spinning, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are prone to getting motion sickness!
スカイダイビングは4回目なんですが、セスナの中から虹が見れて最高に綺麗でしたぁ!パラシュートが開いて地上に降りるまで、インストラクターによってはかなり激しく回ったりするので、乗り物よいしやすい人は、酔い止めを飲む事をオススメします!

First we took a 15 min off-road drive up to the first zipline. You'll see mountain views, ocean views, and will be zipping above the forest/farmland. The staff at Climbworks were really nice and funny; they really got to know all of the customers and made the whole adventure even better. They also offered us fresh fruit/nuts that is grown on the farm throughout the tour. The whole experience felt very safe and the grounds were really well-kept. This is the perfect option if you are looking for a fun, exciting activity on Oahu.

I was paired with a very cheerful person, so it was a lot of fun. Just as I heard in practice, "We'll jump on the count of 1, 2, 3," I felt like I was just going along with it as I jumped out of the plane. While flying, the scenery I was seeing made me question whether it was real or not; it was that beautiful. The weather was nice, so the color of the sea was a clear, beautiful blue. I had thought I wanted to experience this once in a lifetime, but now I want to participate as many times as I can!
とても明るい方とペアだったので楽しかったです。

It was cloudy the whole time, and we waited 5 hours to fly, but it was worth the wait!! It was just the best!! The instructors and the cameraman were really fun, and I had a great time.
However, the Japanese driver was an 83-year-old grandfather with a hearing aid, and although we were supposed to meet in front of the hotel at 5, the response for each person was slow, causing a delay in departure. By the time we arrived, there were already many groups there. He kept repeating the same stories and asking the same questions, which made me quite worried. I think it might be time for him to consider retirement for the sake of the customers... He is a nice grandfather, though.
That aside, skydiving is amazing! You can get the video via AirDrop right away! If I have the chance to come to Hawaii again, I will definitely do it!!
ずっと曇っていて、飛ぶまで5時間待ちましたが、待った甲斐がありました!!もう、最高です!!

More detailed explanations are needed.
I think Beltora also needs to provide more detailed descriptions.
For belongings, "cash and credit cards"
Cash: $70 or more
I brought cash because I read the reviews, but there were people who came without any cash at all.
Tips are required: $20 for the instructor, $20 for the photographer, and $10 for the driver.
On the day of participation, the weather was bad, and the afternoon tour was canceled.
We arrived at 6 AM and had to wait outside for over four and a half hours.
It was so cold that I felt like I might catch a cold.
While waiting, you can buy snacks from a truck, but those without cash couldn't buy anything, which was unfortunate...
And then!!
The Japanese elderly gentleman who was in charge of the pickup and attendance was the worst.
I couldn't hear the explanations on the bus.
He kept trying to push his own theory pamphlet on us repeatedly.
He forgets if he doesn't say the same thing multiple times.
And he lectured customers in a condescending manner, saying things like, "You're not good," or "You're not excellent," or "Listen to me properly!" Many people were complaining, and those listening felt uncomfortable.
He was not attending to us at all, and it made me feel very unpleasant after paying.
It was very disappointing, especially since the skydiving itself was amazing.

Climbing a mountain over 4000 meters for the first time made me anxious, especially since I had heard that the conditions at the summit can be very harsh. However, thanks to the attentive care of our guide, everyone was able to participate without any health issues. I truly felt reassured going with a guide who knows the mountains so well. Unfortunately, due to bad weather, we couldn't see the sunset from the summit, but we were able to enjoy a breathtaking view of the sunset a little lower down, which also gave us a chance to experience the power of nature. It seems that a snowy Mauna Kea is quite rare, so perhaps we were lucky in that regard. The starry sky was like a natural planetarium, and with the interesting explanations of the constellations, I could have gazed at it forever without getting bored. It became a memorable sight. Thank you to everyone at the nature school!
初めて4000m超の山に登ること、山の上はとても過酷な環境と聞いていたこともあり、不安がありましたが、ガイドの方のきめ細やかな心配りのお陰で、誰も体調を崩すことなく、参加することができました。やはり、山のことを知り尽くしているガイドさんと行くのが安心だなぁと思いました。残念ながら今回は悪天候のため、頂上では夕陽は見られませんでしたが、少し降りたところで夕焼けの絶景を見られましたし、自然の威力を体感する機会にもなりました。雪景色のマウナケア山はとても珍しいそうなので、逆にラッキーだったのかもしれません。星空はまさに天然のプラネタリウムで、面白い星座解説と共に、いつまで眺めていても飽きることがなく、思い出に残る風景となりました。ネイチャースクールの皆さま、ありがとうございました!

Since it was a weekday and not crowded, I was able to make a reservation the day before without any issues. There was a Japanese staff member at the reception, and even though I arrived quite early, I didn't have to wait long as the instructor was ready. I experienced three zip lines, and it was so much fun that it ended in no time. During the third zip line, I had a race with a family I was with, which made it even more exciting. The instructor was a cheerful female staff member who really got everyone pumped up. Next time, I want to try other activities as well.

There is also a Japanese explanation video available, so you can understand the important points in advance. There are lockers where you can store valuables and backpacks. During horseback riding, you cannot carry anything larger than a small pouch, but you can place items like a camera or wallet in a pocket on the saddle that hangs on the sides. Basically, you will be hands-free while on the horse (it's better to minimize your belongings).
The female instructor knew some basic Japanese phrases like "Pull the reins!" This allowed many Japanese participants, who hardly understood English, to join in.
Kualoa Ranch is spacious and magnificent. While passing through the forest, you might encounter a family of wild boars or a herd of free-range cows, which adds a heartwarming touch. There were also people on buggy and 4WD tours at Kualoa Ranch, and we greeted each other from horseback.
It was a two-hour experience filled with the beauty of the sea, mountains, land, and forests.
日本語の説明ビデオもあるので事前に、注意点は把握して臨むことができます。ロッカーもあるので貴重品やリュックなど入れておけます。乗馬中は、小さなポシェットのようなサイズでも携帯できませんが、カメラやお財布くらいならは、馬の鞍に左右に引っ掛けるポケットのようなものに入れることはできます。基本、馬上は、手ぶらになります。(荷物は少なくした方がよさそう)
インストラクターの女性は、「手綱引っ張ってー」など片言だけど必要最低限の日本語を覚えてました。そのせいか、英語のほとんどわからない日本人も多く参加してました。

I had a horseback riding experience that took us around locations from a two-hour movie. At first, I was really scared. Horses have emotions and personalities too, after all! I encountered a free-spirited horse named Goobee, and I was able to have various experiences while being guided by a staff member. Since it was January, we encountered some rain, but my UNIQLO Pocketable Parka came in handy, so I recommend it for those who want to experience this during the rainy season. If it rains from the start, it seems there are rental items available as well. You can only bring your phone or a waist pouch, probably to avoid any hindrance while the horse is running. There are also paid lockers available for other belongings ($5), and only $1 to $5 bills are accepted. Although it was only about two hours, I really felt how free my daily life is. I experienced all kinds of emotions with the horse, felt the great outdoors, and had a fulfilling experience that I can't get in my everyday life!
2時間の映画ロケーションなどを巡る、乗馬体験をしました。とにかく最初は怖かったです。馬とはいえど感情も持っていますし個性もあります笑っ リードされるお姉さんが見てないと自由奔放なgoobeeという馬と廻り合い、様々な体験が出来ました。1月でしたのでたまに雨に遭遇しました、UNIQLOのPOCKETABLE Parkarが役に立ちましたので雨季に体験される方にオススメです。雨が最初から降っていれば、貸し出し用の物もあるみたいです。携帯のみ持ち込めます、またはウエストポーチは持ち込めます。馬が走るのでその際に邪魔にならないためかと思います。その他の荷物はロッカー有料(5ドル)もあります。(1ドル札~5ドル札のみ使用可能)2時間ほどでしたが、日頃いかに自由な生活をしているのかを感じました、私は馬と共に喜怒哀楽全てを経験し、大自然を感じ、日常で体験出来ない感情と体験が出来大満足です!

The guide picked us up in the order of Kona → Waikoloa → Hapuna Beach, and since we were staying in Waikoloa, our meeting time was 1:45 PM. We arrived early at Hapuna Beach, so we spontaneously decided to go whale watching from the shore. We were able to see the whales spouting from a distance. Without the guide's assistance, we definitely wouldn't have noticed them. Even with the last-minute change, they were impressive.
After all 13 participants gathered, we set off for Mauna Kea Park. We were told that it was okay to sleep during the first half since we needed to stay awake for altitude sickness prevention later, but thanks to the lively conversation, I was too excited to sleep at all in the car. We arrived at Mauna Kea Park at 3:30 PM. It was at an elevation of 2,000 meters, and Mauna Kea towered high above us. The temperature had dropped, and it was a bit chilly.
After a restroom break, we set off again and arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center at an elevation of 2,800 meters around 4 PM. Here, we had an early lunch and another restroom break. The lunch consisted of a traditional Japanese bento with fried fish and karaage, and even though we had just eaten, we finished it all. The warm miso soup was delicious. As it gets colder as we ascend, I borrowed ski pants to complete my gear (it seems they make it hard to breathe at high altitudes). Normally, they stay for about an hour, but due to the rare good weather and snow at the summit, many people were heading up, so we departed after 4:30 PM to secure a spot for the sunset. By the way, snow at the summit is usually only present until January or February, and during that time, the weather can be unpredictable, making it difficult to reach the summit, which is why a guide who was off-duty also visited that day.
After leaving the Onizuka Visitor Center, we drove on a steep gravel road. Switching to four-wheel drive, the vehicle moved steadily forward. It would be impossible to reach this place by rental car on your own. As we continued, the vegetation gradually disappeared, the clouds came into view below us, and I felt as if the sun was getting closer.
We got out of the car at 3,800 meters, above the height of Mount Fuji. The first thing that caught our eyes was a vast expanse of snow. It felt surreal to have been at a hot beach in the morning and now be in a silver world. There was even a snowman that had arrived before us, and all the participants were thrilled. We rushed over to the snow, but being at high altitude, I quickly became out of breath and felt dizzy. I had to take deep breaths and try to move slowly. That said, there were some foreigners snowboarding and taking pictures in swimsuits...
After a while, we finally headed to the summit. Many people had already arrived at the top, but we managed to secure a position to view the sunset. It was quite cold, so I borrowed a ski jacket and gloves and put on the neck warmer I had brought. Until sunset, the guide took various photos for us.
Then came the sunset. Before the sun went down, the entire area was bathed in orange, and after it set, the sky transformed into a gradient of orange, green, and blue—a sight that words cannot describe. I felt it was a scene I would never see again, and I made sure to imprint it in my memory.
After the sunset, we had to descend from the summit, so we drove down to 3,500 meters for stargazing. Even after sunset, it was still bright for a while, and we could only see Venus. As night deepened, we began to see the first magnitude stars in order. After that, we were able to observe stars and the Milky Way that we could never see in the city. The guide was knowledgeable about constellations and explained them clearly. We took commemorative photos with the Milky Way and Orion in the background, and the stargazing session came to an end.
On the way back, we stopped at Mauna Kea Park for a restroom break and to collect our cold-weather gear. They dropped us off at our hotel, and we arri
ガイドさんがコナ→ワイコロア→ハプナビーチの順に迎えに来てくださって、ワイコロアに宿泊していた私たちは13時45分の集合でした。
ハプナビーチに早く到着したため、急遽陸からホエールウォッチングをすることに。遠めからですが、クジラの潮吹きを見ることができました。ガイドさんの案内なしだったら絶対に気づきませんでした。急遽な対応でもさすがです。
その後、参加者13名全員揃って、まずはマウナケアパークに向けて出発。
後半は高山病対策のため起きている必要はあるので前半は寝ていても構わないとのことでしたが、軽快なトークのおかげでまったく寝ることはなく車の中でワクワクしていました。
マウナケアパークには15時30分に到着。ここは標高2,000mでマウナケアが高くそびえ立っていました。気温も下がっていて若干ひんやり。
トイレ休憩後、再度出発し16時過ぎに標高2,800mのオニヅカビジターセンターへ到着。
ここでは少し早めのお弁当とトイレ休憩。お弁当は日本人が作った魚のフライ、唐揚げなどが入っているザ・日本のお弁当。お昼とったばかりなのに完食でした。温かいお味噌汁も美味しかったです。山頂に行くにつれて寒くなるため、スキー用のズボンを貸してもらい装備完了(高地で履くと息があがってしまうらしいです)。
通常は1時間くらい滞在するらしいのですが、この日は久しぶりの好天&山頂に雪があるということで山頂に向かう人が多くサンセットの場所確保のために16時30分すぎに出発しました。
ちなみに山頂に雪があるのは1月、2月くらいまでで、かつその時期は天候不順で山頂に登れないことも多いらしいので、この日は非番のガイドさんもプライベートで訪れていました。
オニヅカビジターセンターを出た後は、急角度の砂利道。四駆に切り替えて車はグングンと進んでいきます。レンタカーで自力で向かうのは絶対無理です。。
その後もグイグイ進み、次第に植物の姿が見えなくなり、雲も下に見るようになり、心なしか太陽も近くに感じるようになりました。
そして富士山越えの3,800mで下車。
日本のすばるを含め各国の天文台よりも先に目に入ってきたのは一面の雪景色。午前中は暑いビーチにいたのが嘘のような銀世界でした。
先に到着した雪ダルマもあり、参加者全員が大興奮。思わず雪のもとへと駆け寄りましたが、そこは高地。あっという間に息が切れて頭がクラクラしてきました。深呼吸してなるべく体をゆっくり動かさないといけないです。といいながら、スノボしたり水着で記念撮影している外国の方もいましたが、、、
しばらくしてから、ついに山頂へ向かいます。
すでに山頂は多くの人が到着していましたが、なんとか夕陽の見えるポジションを確保できました。かなり寒いのでスキー用の上着と手袋を借り、持ってきたネックウォーマーを装着。
日没まではガイドさんが色んな写真を撮ってくれました。
そしてサンセット。日が沈む前はあたり一面がオレンジ色に染まり、日が沈んだあとはオレンジと緑と青のグラデーションで言葉で説明できない光景でした。二度と見れない光景と思い、じっくりと目に焼きつけました。
サンセット後は山頂から降りないといけないため、3,500mまで車で下山して星空観察。
日没後もまだしばらく明るく、見えるのは金星くらい。夜が深くなってくるにつれ一等星から順に見えてきました。その後は都会では見ることができない星や天の川を観察することができました。
ガイドさんは星座のことも詳しく、分かりやすく説明してくれました。天の川やオリオン座をバックに記念撮影をして星空観察は終了。
帰りはマウナケアパークに立ち寄りトイレ休憩と防寒具の回収。ホテルまで送って下さり、22時前に到着しました。あっという間の8時間でした。
マウナケアの山頂に登れるようになったのは昨年末で、また3月には行けなくなるとのこと。ハワイ島に来たなら絶対に行くべきツアーだと思います。

Since it was my first time on Maui, I wanted to join a tour and signed up. Just like many reviews said, it was truly the best tour! I was very moved by the sunset and starry sky seen from above the clouds. Our guide, Yamapi, was very kind, knowledgeable, and had an interesting way of talking, which made the journey enjoyable as well. This time, the weather at the summit was good, and I was very lucky to see a nene! I thought I might not have another chance to come to Maui, but this tour made me want to come back to see that scenery again no matter what! Thank you so much, Yamapi!
マウイ島に初めて来たので、何かツアーに参加したいと思い申し込みました。たくさんの口コミ通り本当に最高のツアーでした!雲の上から見る夕日と星空にはとても感動しました。ガイドのヤマピーさんもとても優しく、知識が豊富で話も面白いので道中も楽しかったです。また今回は山頂の天気も良く、ネネまで会えてとても運が良かったです!マウイ島にはもう来れる機会はないかなあと思っていましたが、また何としてもあの景色を見るためにマウイ島に来たいと思えるツアーでした!!ヤマピーさん本当にありがとうございました!!
Thank you for the wonderful comment. It was lucky to see the Nene, an endangered bird. It's rare to spot one even after climbing every day, so I'm glad you did. Please come back to Maui again. We look forward to seeing you!!
素晴らしいコメントを頂いて恐縮です。ネネと言う絶滅危惧種の鳥が見れたのはラッキーでしたね。毎日登っていても見れるのは稀な事なので良かったです。またマウイにいらしゃってくださいね。お待ちしております!!

On the day of participation, there were only four of us, so the shuttle bus was almost like a private charter. At the ranch, the local guide was able to teach us how to ride properly, thanks to the small group size. The scenery along the way was mountainous, but the view from the summit was amazing! The guide took plenty of photos at the top, and of course, it was free! There were no crowds at all, allowing us to enjoy a relaxing time.
参加当日は4人のみの参加でしたので、送迎バスはほぼ貸し切り状態
牧場でも、少人数ならでは現地ガイドさんに乗り方をしっかりと教えてもらえました
道中の景色は山の中でしたが、山頂からの景色は最高!
山頂でガイドさんが写真撮影をたくさんしてくれました。もちろん無料です!
人混みなど一切なく、のんびりとした時間を過ごせました

This was my first time participating after seeing it featured on TV. The pickup was smooth and on time. The bus's air conditioning was too strong, and even though I complained to the guide, it didn't help; everyone seemed to endure it. It had been raining all morning, which made me anxious during the journey, but once we arrived, the sun came out, and I felt relieved. The orientation was also easy to understand in Japanese.
All the participants on the E-bike were Japanese. The road was a bit muddy due to the rain, but we enjoyed cycling while taking in the scenery without speeding. The guide couldn't speak Japanese, but he was humorous and guided us carefully, taking photos for us, making it a fun hour.
Since we only participated in one activity, we had a three-hour wait until the return bus. I was wondering what to do when a staff member informed me that there was a public bus (THE BUS) stop nearby and suggested I take that, providing me with the timetable. I used that to get back.
Overall, it was a satisfying tour.
TVで紹介されていて初参加。
ピックアップは時間通りスムーズでした。
バスのクーラーが効きすぎていてガイドに訴えるも効果なく
みんな耐えていた様子。
朝からずっと雨で道中不安でしたが到着したら晴れ間が出て一安心。
オリエンテーションも日本語で分かりやすかったです。
Eバイク参加者は皆日本人、雨のせいで少し道がぬかるんでいたけどスピードを上げることなく景色を堪能しながらのサイクリング。
ガイドは日本語話せませんでしたがユーモア交え丁寧に案内してくれ写真撮ってくれたりで楽しい1時間でした。
1種目のみの参加だった私達は帰りのバスまで3時間の待ち時間がありどうしたものかと思っているとスタッフの方が公共バス(THE BUS)の停留所が近くにあるからそれで帰るといいよと、時刻表とともに案内してくれそれを利用して帰りました。
概ね満足なツアーでした。

It was a very nice horseback riding session.
The view was great.
Maybe less hour might have been nice if you are a beginner because my bottom started to hurt the last 30 minutes. Other than that, the staff were very friendly and it was a nice time :)

I didn't have enough time in Haleiwa, so I couldn't try Giovanni's Garlic Shrimp, and while shopping, I ended up missing lunch. Therefore, it's better to think of Haleiwa as just a place to have lunch.
I caught a glimpse of a turtle at Turtle Bay. I had hoped to go horseback riding in Waimea Valley, but since that tour was not available, I opted for a seaside tour instead. Even though it was only 45 minutes, I had a great time and was satisfied to get photos of me riding a horse in a beautiful spot. You can enjoy a free-style horseback ride that you can't do in Japan. The horse was munching on grass a lot, which was funny.
We were split into two groups for the horseback riding, so there was about an hour of waiting time, and I thought about how nice it would have been to explore Haleiwa during that time. However, I was able to go back to Haleiwa later on my own, which was great. But if you want to explore and shop in Haleiwa, I don't think you'll have enough time with the horseback riding tour. The horseback riding tour itself was very satisfying!
ハレイワでは時間がなくて、ジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプは食べれず、お買い物してたら昼食も食べれなくなっちゃいました>_<
なので、ハレイワではランチするだけの時間と考えた方が良いです。
タートルベイではチラッと亀が見えました。
ワイメア渓谷での乗馬希望でしたが催行されず海辺のツアーにしましたが、45分でも十分楽しめ、景色の良いところで馬に乗った写真も撮ってもらえて満足です。日本ではできない自由な乗馬が出来ます。舐められて草めちゃくちゃ食べてましたが笑。
2グループに分かれて乗馬したので、1時間ほど待ち時間があり、この時間ハレイワの街にいれたら…とは思いましたが。
後日個人でハレイワに再度行けたので良かったですが、ハレイワを散策したり買い物したい方は、乗馬ツアーでは時間は無いと思います。
乗馬ツアー自体は大満足です!

I never thought flying could be so exciting and fun! The wait time was long due to the weather, but the weather is nobody's fault, so it can't be helped.
空を飛ぶことがこんなに興奮して楽しいこととは思いませんでした!天候の関係で待機時間が長かったけど天候は誰のせいでもないのでしょうがない。

I went horse back riding with my sister not really knowing what to expect. But let me tell you something, it was incredible! Kali, our tour guide, took us through beautiful path ways. It was nice to get out of the city, especially cause I’m from LA, and experience the country side on a horse. The horses were calm and I felt comfortable the whole time. I would definitely recommend!

It was really great! I heard that the mountains were closed due to bad weather for about a week, so I was worried about the weather, but the sunset and stars were incredibly beautiful!
There was still snow on the mountain, and it seems that being able to enter the mountain in this condition is rare, making it a very valuable experience.
At the summit, it was snowing, and I couldn't see much of the observatory, but when I descended a bit, I was able to see a beautiful sunset.
After the sun went down, many stars came out, and the explanation about the stars was interesting. I was able to see many more stars than I could from the hotel. I'm glad I joined the tour!
I was worried about restrooms and altitude sickness, but there were breaks about once an hour, and they took measures against altitude sickness, which was reassuring.
I thought it was strange to need warm clothing in Hawaii, but I realized that the warm clothing provided with the tour is essential. If you're not good with the cold, hand warmers and other cold weather measures are a must.
I brought my camera thinking I might take some photos of the stars, but I regretted not properly preparing and bringing a tripod.
Next time I participate, I will make sure to prepare my camera properly.
Thank you to the guides. I had a lot of fun. The choice of music in the car was excellent!
すごく良かったです!
1週間ほど悪天候で山がcloseと聞いて天候が不安でしたが、サンセットも星もすごく綺麗に見えました!
山には雪が残っていて、この状態で山に入れるのは珍しいことらしく、とっても貴重な体験でした。
山頂はふぶいていて、天文台はあまり見ることができませんでしたが、少し降りると綺麗なサンセットが見れました。
日が暮れたあと、星もいっぱい出て、星の説明も面白かったです。
ホテルで見るよりすごくたくさんの星を見ることができました。
ツアーに参加して良かったです!
お手洗いや高山病を心配していましたが、1時間に1回ほど休憩があり、高山病対策もしてくださるので安心でした。
ハワイで防寒着なんてと思っていましたが、ツアーに付いている防寒着必須だなと思いました。
寒いのが苦手ならカイロとか防寒対策必須です。
星の写真を撮れたなら〜ぐらいでカメラを持って行ったのですが、ちゃんと事前準備と三脚を用意しておけば良かったと、反省。
次回参加するときはちゃんとカメラを準備しよーと思います。
ガイドの方々、ありがとうございました。
とても楽しかったです。
車内の曲のチョイス最高でした☆

Riding while feeling the nature was a valuable experience. The 2-hour course was more than enough to enjoy it. Basically, you control the horse by yourself, but since the horses are trained, they follow the horse in front of them. When they occasionally stray off the path, the ranch staff provides support, which is reassuring. My family, who had only experienced riding with someone pulling the reins, was initially scared, but they soon got used to it and enjoyed themselves. I would like to participate again!
自然を感じながらの乗馬は貴重な経験になりました。2時間コースで十分満喫できました。基本的には1人で馬を操作しますが、馬は調教されているので、前の馬について進んでくれます。時々みち草したりするときは、牧場スタッフがサポートしてくれるので安心です。手綱を引いてもらっての乗馬経験しかなかった家族は最初怖がっていましたが、そのうち慣れて楽しんでいました。また参加したいと思います!

The weather was rainy, but the refreshing feeling of weaving through the trees was amazing. Once you get used to it, you can challenge yourself with various positions, so it never gets boring until the end. English is fast-paced and difficult!

Thank you for participating in Nature & You. The Manoa Falls was under maintenance, so the trail was a bit muddier than usual. We apologize for that. We would be happy to welcome you back when it is fully open. Thank you for your comments.
ネイチャー&ユーへのご参加ありがとうございます。マノアの滝は、現在メインテナンス中でしたので、少しいつもより泥道になっていたかと思います。申し訳ありませんでした。完全にオープンになった際に、またお越しいただけたら嬉しいです。コメントありがとうございます。
