The staff only speaks English and doesn't understand Japanese at all, but it works out somehow. The zip line above the waterfall is really beautiful. It gradually gets longer. The staff is young, but they work hard. It was disappointing that the photos were supposed to be sent via email but were not sent.

The horseback riding itself was great, but it was quite far from Haleiwa, taking about 40 minutes by bike one way. I recommend renting a car or chartering a vehicle if you participate in this option. However, unlike Kualoa, riding by the seaside was very pleasant with the refreshing sea breeze. The guide was in English, but there were Japanese informational materials at the reception, and they also showed a Japanese instructional video before the ride, which was reassuring.
乗馬そのものは良かったですが、ハレイワからも離れており自転車で片道40分くらいはかかりました。こちらのオプションに参加する場合はレンタカーか、車チャーターすることをお勧めします。ただ、クアロアとは違い海辺で乗馬できるのはとても海風が心地よく爽快でした。英語ガイドでしたが、受付に日本語の案内書面もありますし乗馬する前に日本語のレクチャー動画も見せてくれるので安心でした。

It was a fun time since it was an electric bike, so it wasn't tiring at all. However, I think it would be better if there were more detailed explanations on the site regarding the application process and that the return bus to Waikiki is different from the bus going there, including the time schedule.
電動自転車なので全然しんどくなく、楽しい時間でしたが、ただ日本の説明等がない為もう少し申し込み時の事や帰りのバスは行きのバスと違い時間帯でワイキキ行きのバスに乗るなどの詳しい説明をサイトの方からしてあったらもっと良くなると思う

We jumped together to commemorate completing the Honolulu Marathon!
We requested a video shoot with a cameraman.
All the staff were kind and made it enjoyable. They provided explanations of the scenery and made sure we could relax until we reached the diving point.
There was a moment of fear when jumping from the Cessna, but without hesitation, we were pushed out from behind and enjoyed freefall and parachuting in the wonderful scenery.
During the parachute descent, they spun us around for fun, but I got a bit nauseous. I heard it's good to say "please don't spin." Still, it was an amazing experience!
My husband landed with a sliding landing, and his pants got all dirty. I recommend wearing pants that you don't mind getting dirty.
It was an exhilarating experience out of the ordinary.
The editing of the video is also cool, and I recommend it. I keep watching it, enjoying the beautiful scenery and my funny face.

It took about an hour and a half from Waikiki, but it was a very peaceful and relaxing ranch. The horseback riding options for preschoolers are limited, but this plan is very fulfilling. We were able to leisurely stroll through the vast grounds and even had designated photo time at various points. Along the way, we learned a lot about Hawaiian plants, how to care for horses, and how to give commands. At the end, we gave a thank-you carrot, brushed the horse, and took photos, making for a total experience of about 1 hour and 30 minutes. They kindly answered all of my daughter's many questions, and she fell in love with horseback riding. It felt like a personal English lesson while riding, which was a great deal. The entrance to the ranch is a bit tricky, but it was truly a wonderful place. If you have some time to spare, I highly recommend it!
ワイキキから1時間半位かかりましたが、とてものどかでのんびり出来る牧場でした。未就学児でもできる乗馬は限られていますがこちらのプランはとても充実しています。広大な敷地をのんびり散策しながらポイントで止まって写真TIMEまで配慮してもらえました。道中ハワイの植物の事や、馬のお世話の仕方、指示の出し方等など深いお話が聞けました。最後にありがとうのニンジンをあげてブラッシング、写真撮影で終わりですが、トータル1:30は体験できました。娘の数々の質問にも丁寧に答えてくれ乗馬が大好きになりました。
乗馬をしながら英語の個人レッスンの様でとてもお得に感じてしまいました。

Before leaving Japan, the weather forecast for the scheduled day predicted a 60% chance of rain. I called the organizing company two days prior, and they assured me that the event had never been canceled and that they had raincoats and ponchos prepared, so it would be fine. On the day itself, it did rain a little, but it wasn't significant, and I didn't mind much; my windbreaker was sufficient. By the second half of the day, it even cleared up.
The course was changed to the Lyon Arboretum instead of the Manoa Falls area, which was under construction. It was fun not only to learn about the plants but also to have unexpected experiences like picking and cracking open kukui nuts to eat.
日本を発つ前から予定日の天気予報は雨60%。2日前には主催会社に電話もしましたが、今まで中止になったことはなく、合羽やポンチョを用意しているから大丈夫との返事。当日は少し降りましたが大した雨ではなく、あまり気にもならず、着ていったウインドブレーカーで十分。後半は晴れてもきました。
コースはマノアの滝方面が工事で行けない代わりのライオン植物園でしたが、植物の説明だけでなく、ククイの実を拾って割って食べるなど、思いがけない体験もして楽しかったです。

Moreover, the cats and dogs raised on the farm were very friendly and cute. We had ridden horses at various locations many times before, but the horses at this farm were very calm. We enjoyed crossing the river and strolling through the forests while riding. We took many photos.

I had a great time.
It was a one-hour electric-assist mountain bike tour, and the hour flew by.
The explanations were in English, but even if you don't understand English, you can get the gist from the video visuals.
Since it's electric, you can ride smoothly and it's really enjoyable.
However, the trails are steep, and because of the fast pace, it does require some stamina.
Aside from the biking, the waiting time after arriving at Kualoa Ranch and after the activity was quite long.
There is a souvenir shop, but we finished looking around sooner than expected, so we ended up napping on a bench.
I wish we could have used our time more effectively.

Several acquaintances have had bicycle accidents in Hawaii, so I suspected that the front and rear brakes might be reversed compared to Japan, and I was right. In Japan, the right lever is for the front brake and the left lever is for the rear brake, but in Hawaii, it's the opposite. The key is to be very aware of that and to apply both brakes simultaneously.
However, the activity was fantastic! Next time, I want to try horseback riding!
知り合いが複数、ハワイで自転車転倒事故起こしているため、もしかしたら前輪後輪ブレーキが日本と逆ではないかと予想していたら、図星でした。日本では右→前輪、左→後輪ですが、ハワイは逆でした。ポイントはそこを強く意識しながら両方同時にブレーキ掛けることです。

The skydiving experience itself was absolutely amazing, and I was more excited than with any activity I have done in the past! However, during the shuttle ride, we had to fill out a waiver with a lot of items, and the bumpy road to the airport made me feel nauseous. I also thought the wait time during the experience was a bit long. Nevertheless, for those who have never tried skydiving, I believe it will definitely be the best experience. The instructor who jumped with me was very friendly and helped ease my nerves.

Last year, I experienced horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, and this year I challenged myself with ziplining. I was worried that the hike to the zipline starting point would be tough, but it wasn't too bad. There were three staff members accompanying our group of eight participants, and they engaged us in conversation, making us laugh and feel at ease. The ziplining itself was not scary at all. The exhilaration of zipping through the trees made me want to do even more after finishing the seven lines. I heard it can get crowded and you might have to wait, so I hoped for a 9 AM start, but the hotel pickup was at 6:50 AM, which was a bit tough. Still, it was an amazing activity.

To ride the four-wheel buggy, you need to make a reservation for at least two people. I made a reservation for two, but my companion couldn't participate due to health issues, so I had to join alone. However, when I explained the situation at check-in, they kindly allowed me to participate solo.
Driving the buggy through the vast grounds of Kualoa Ranch was quite enjoyable, and at one point, we stopped at the filming location of Jurassic Park, where the guide took photos for us.
Also, driving the buggy can get quite dusty from the vehicle in front, so if needed, they provide free masks and also lend protective eyewear, so I recommend taking precautions.
四輪バキーに乗るには2人以上でないと予約出来ず、2人分の予約をしたのですが、同乗者が体調不良で参加できず、止む無く1人で参加しましたがチェックイン時に事情を説明したところ、特別に1人でも参加させて頂きました。

なおバキーの運転は、結構前車からの砂埃を被るので、必要なら無料でマスクをくれますし、アイプロテクトグラスも貸してくれますので対策をした方がいいと思います。

It's been mentioned many times, but I think those who are reading this and are inexperienced might not fully grasp it, so I’ll write it down even if it overlaps with other reviews.
"You should participate in this tour while it's available."
"There are only three companies that can conduct stargazing tours: American, Korean, and this Yamapi."
"The entry restrictions for the tour are strict, so you should apply immediately as there's no guarantee you can participate."
First of all, Yamapi mentioned that they might only be able to continue for a few more years, so this wonderful experience is something you can only have now. Among the three companies with operating permits, you can only choose between the American company, which has just started a few years ago, or Yamapi's tour, excluding the rather careless Korean company. However, reaching the summit at 3055m (even by car) is more challenging than you might imagine. There is no more comfortable tour than Yamapi's, which has over 3000 successful runs and exceptional hospitality.
Also, even though it's a tour company, there are limits on the number of people they can take, so booking early is wise.
As for the tour content, it’s not just about being driven to the summit to casually watch the sunset and stars. Along the way, they explain about the towns of Lahaina and Kahului as you ascend the mountain. To avoid altitude sickness, they stop at a donut shop and make multiple restroom breaks, showing great attention to detail. Everyone buys a bento, and for some reason, the timing for the sunset is perfect, which is truly moving. You can also see the green flash, and Yamapi takes photos of each group. It's recommended to bring a digital camera rather than just a smartphone. Enjoy waiting for the night while eating your bento and stargazing. It’s not just about looking up at the night sky. The stargazing experience with two professional telescopes and explanations exceeds all expectations. It’s something you absolutely must see and hear. On the way back, they safely navigate the dark, steep roads.
As I write this, I feel like I’m not conveying the greatness of this tour at all. Please participate, see, hear, and be impressed and moved. Your reason for coming to Maui will be significantly enhanced!
何度も書かれていることですが、おそらくこれを読んでいる未経験者の方々にはピンと来ていないだろうと思いますので、他のレビューと重複するかもしれませんが書いておきます。
『このツアーがあるうちに参加しておくべき』
『星空ツアーが催行できる会社は米国系・韓国系とこのヤマピーさんの三社のみ』
『ツアーの入山規制が厳しくて、必ず参加できるとは限らないからすぐに申し込むべき』
まず、ヤマピーさんもあと数年しか続けられないと話されていますので、この素晴らしい体験が出来るのも今しかないってことです。催行許可を持っている三社の中で、最もいい加減な韓国系は除いて、まだ始めて数年の米国系 or ヤマピーさんのツアーどちらかに参加するしかありませんが、3055mへの登頂は(車で行くとはいえ)想像以上に厳しいのが事実。催行回数3000回を超えるヤマピーさんの経験とホスピタリティに勝る快適なツアーはありません。
また、ツアー会社といえど入山させることが出来る人数には制約上限りがありますので、早め早めの予約が吉です。
肝心のツアー内容ですが、単に車で山頂まで連れて行ってくれてサンセットと星空をぶらぶらと眺めて帰ってくるわけではありません。道中、ラハイナやカフルイの町を解説しながら山の中腹へ。高山病を避けるためにドーナツショップへ立ち寄り、トイレに複数回立ち寄る細やかな気配り。お弁当をみんなで買って、何故かタイミングバッチリのサンセットに感動。グリーンフラッシュも見られますし、ヤマピーさんが一組ずつ写真撮影してくれます。スマホよりはデジカメを持参することがおすすめ。お弁当を食べながら楽しく闇夜を待って、星空鑑賞。ただ夜空を見上げるだけじゃありません。プロ用の望遠鏡を2台使っての解説付き星空鑑賞は期待も想像も軽く超えてきます。絶対見るべき、聞くべきです。帰り道も真っ暗な急な坂道を安全運転でしっかり届けて回ってくれます。
書きながら思いましたが、まったく伝わらない気がしますね、このツアーの素晴らしさが。ほんと参加して、見て、聞いて、感心して感動してみて下さい。マウイ島へ来た意味が格段にアップします!
Thank you for sharing such a detailed and insightful experience. I hope to continue conveying inspiration to many more people. I look forward to the opportunity to meet again.
とても的を得た詳細も記して頂いた、体験談をありがとうございます。
これからも多くの方々に感動をお伝えして行けたらと思っております。
是非、又お会い出来ます事をお待ち致しております。

I was a bit nervous about the English tour, but it turned out to be manageable. First, we filled out a waiver at the meeting point and received explanations about safety before boarding the van to Waipi'o Valley. During the briefing, we were advised against bringing backpacks, as they could cause us to lose balance and fall off the horse. I left my things in the car and went hands-free. A bag that fits snugly against your body should be fine.
When we arrived at the horses, the instructor explained how to ride. After that, we were matched with our horses. There were about 15 participants, with 7-8 Japanese and 6-7 Americans, so it took around 20 minutes for everyone to get matched. I was one of the first to ride, and my horse was moving around a lot, eating grass, which was quite amusing.
Once we set off, we crossed rivers and walked along mountain paths. The guide explained the fruits growing along the roadside, which was interesting. The whole horseback riding experience lasted about two hours before we returned.
When participating, it's best to wear comfortable sneakers that you don't mind getting dirty, along with jeans or hiking pants and a shirt that can get wet. Since the horses tend to stick their heads under branches, wearing long sleeves can help prevent scrapes.
英語ツアーとのことで、ちょっと緊張しましたがどうにかなる感じでした。
最初に集合場所で誓約書的なものを記入し、危険に関する説明などを受けてバンに乗ってワイピオ渓谷へ向かいます。説明の中ではリュックサックなどはバランスを崩して落馬する可能性があるのであまりお勧めできないとのこと。私も車において手ぶらで行きました。ある程度体に密着するようなバッグなら大丈夫そうです。
馬のところに着いたら、インストラクターが乗り方を説明してくれます。そのあと各自に馬を引き合わせてくれて乗ります。参加したときは日本人7~8人、アメリカ人6~7人の15名くらいのメンバーだったので引き渡しに20分くらいかかった印象です。私は最初に乗ったので馬がアチコチ動き回って草を食べたりしてなかなか面白かったです。
出発してからは川を渡ったり、山道を歩いたり。
ガイドさんが道端に生っている果物を都度説明してくれて興味深かったです。
およそ2時間くらい乗馬して帰ってくる工程です。
参加するときはスニーカーなどの履きなれて汚れてもよい靴、濡れてもよいジーンズやハイキング用のズボンとシャツで行かれるとよいです。また馬が木の枝の下などに頭を突っ込むのでできれば長袖の方が擦り傷など付かなくてよいと思います。
