All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

It was my first skydiving experience in Hawaii.

It took just under an hour to drive from Honolulu to the North Shore. We arrived at the airport while it was still dark and waited for dawn to jump.

Seeing the beautiful ocean from the sky was pure happiness. It was the best! ☆

ハワイでは、初めてのスカイダイビングでした。

ホノルルからノースショアまで
１時間弱
車に乗っての移動。
まだ、暗いうちに飛行場に到着
夜明けを待って飛びました。

綺麗な海を空から見る幸せ
最高です☆

The whole experience was fantastic! Adam, our guide, was super friendly and great to talk to. He was very knowledgeable.

For those planning this, the kayak trip was a little work so be prepared for that. My husband and I thought we were in great shape but we struggled a bit. It’s 2.5 miles of fast, no break, paddling. The hike was super fun. Again, be prepared to work a little. You will hike in ankle deep mud in places. It’s slippery so the walking stick (supplied) was a big help. We saw a
lot of people struggle.

The waterfall was breathtaking. Eating lunch there was surreal. Definitely worth doing!

I booked a 2-hour course starting at 10:05. I arrived in about an hour, but with the check-in process, there wasn't much time for a leisurely lunch, so I bought a large muffin at the shop. There weren't many options at the shop, and both the restaurant and shop had higher prices. There are benches available, so I think it's better to bring light snacks like bread. It was a hot day, and I was sweating quite a bit, but it felt cool when passing through the shade of the trees. Since we walked through shaded areas, muddy paths, and stream-like trails, wearing clothes that can get dirty is a good idea. We were a team of six, and when the guiding staff instructed us to hurry, we would start jogging a bit, but all the horses were well-behaved! Large bags can be stored in lockers, but you can bring water, your phone, and a camera. The 2 hours felt long, but the scenery was wonderful, and it was a fun and great experience.

ピックアップ10：05の2時間コースに予約しました。１時間ほどで到着ですが、受付などしているとゆっくり昼食の時間がなく、売店で大きめのマフィンを購入しました。売店もあまり種類がないのとレストラン・売店ともに値段が高めです。ベンチもあるのでパンなどの軽食を持参される方が良いかと思います。天気が良い日だったので、かなり暑く汗が出ましたが、木陰の間を通る時は涼しく感じます。木陰の間を通ったりぬかるんでいる道や小川のような道を歩くので汚れても良い服装が安心です。６人１チームでしたが、誘導するスタッフの支持で急ぐ時は、小走り程度に急に走り出しますがどの馬もおりこうでした！　大きな荷物はロッカーに預けますが、お水や携帯・カメラは持参できます。２時間長く感じますが景色も素晴らしく楽しい良い経験ができました。

Beautiful hike! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable! My husband and I learned a lot. Recommend this tour for all ages!

When I go to Hawaii, I often go horseback riding in various places, but the course here takes you through the mountains, and from near the top, you can see the ocean in its entirety, which is amazing. The well-trained, gentle horses sometimes like to nibble on grass along the way, so be careful.

ハワイに行くといろいろな場所で良く乗馬しますが、ここのコースは山の中を乗馬しますが頂上付近からは海が一望でき最高です。
良くなれたおとなしい馬が、たまに道草を食べたがりますので注意です。

The level of our guide, Yamauchi, was high, and we received the best guidance. It was a memorable tour. It was very cold, but the stars seen from the summit of Haleakalā were a once-in-a-lifetime experience. During the explanation of the stars, it felt like something out of Star Wars, with laser beams creating an illusion that the stars were suddenly closer. It was really cool.

ツワ～ガイドさんの山内さんのレベルが高くて、最高の案内をして頂きました。思い出に残るツワ～でした。
とっても寒かったけど。 ハレアカラ山頂から見た星。生まれて初めての経験でした。星の説明の時まるでスターウォーズ見たい、いきなり星が近くなるような錯角をおこす位レザー光線｡。カッコ良かったです。

The facility was clean, and the instructors were really nice. I had a great time in the great outdoors. They also took photos, which helped me create lasting memories.

施設も綺麗でインストラクターの方もすごく良い方でした。
大自然の中ですごく楽しめました。
写真も撮ってもらえるので思い出に残りました。

Thrill of a lifetime
Wanted to see Pearl Harbor and had little time before flying out San Francisco
Open doors make for exciting time
Seeing Honolulu from above quite a treat

The meeting time was early at 4:15, which was tough, but once I flew, I understood why. I felt like a bird on a global scale, surrounded by the coastline and horizon illuminated by the morning sun, stretching endlessly.

I was relieved to have staff who spoke Japanese. My instructor and photographer were both handsome and quiet, just like my 26-year-old son! When I said I was nervous, he replied, "Me too..." and I started to worry if he was inexperienced, but it seemed he might just not be good with Japanese people. Once we got on the Cessna, he quickly set everything up, and after we took off, he talked to me a lot, showed me beautiful scenery, and made thrilling turns. I even got to steer the parachute, which was a valuable experience.

I tried to keep a big smile, but my mouth got so dry! If you put your mind to it, you can do anything! My perspective on life has changed!

集合時間が4:15と早く、辛かったけれど飛んでみて納得。朝日に照らされた海岸線や水平線が限りなく広がるなか、地球規模の鳥になれました。

日本語が通じるスタッフがいて安心でした。
私のインストラクターもカメラマンも、イケメンで寡黙な26才
息子と同じ歳！
ドキドキすると言ったら、僕も・・・って経験が浅いのかと不安になりましたが、そうではなく、日本人が苦手なのかな？
セスナに乗ったらテキパキとセッティングしてくれて、飛び出したあとは、たくさん話しかけてくれて、美しい景色を見せてくれたり、クルクル旋回してスリルを味合わせてくれました。
パラシュートの操縦もさせてもらえて、貴重な体験でした。

ビッグスマイルを心がけていたら、口の中がカラッカラに-_-b
死ぬ気になれば何でもできる‼️
人生観もかわりました‼️

In the morning, I rode an electric bike, and in the afternoon, I was supposed to go kayaking, but it was canceled due to bad weather.

The electric bike had a strong assist, so even with a light pedal, the front wheel would lift. It easily rolled over rocks (not stones) and climbed steep hills with ease.

There seemed to be two courses, and we split at the first fork: one for a group with women and the other for a men-only group. I was in the men-only group, and according to the instructor, this one was more intense and fun.

I participated with my 60-year-old father (who does some hiking) and I, at 24 (who enjoys sports like snowboarding and riding bikes). My father managed to finish, albeit with some effort. Personally, I thought it was a great experience. It was truly thrilling and physically demanding, and I would say it felt dangerous; I doubt such a course would be permitted in Japan.

The scenery was beautiful, and the course allowed us to enjoy the great outdoors. There were several spots that resembled scenes from the Jurassic Park movies. However, there were genuinely dangerous moments as well. Please enjoy it without pushing yourself too hard and keep your speed in check.

*You will get quite muddy, so be mindful of your clothing.
*Make sure to buy water beforehand.
*Having sunglasses would be beneficial.
*If you're not confident in your physical ability, it's best to inform them in advance.
*If you imagine the summer vacation from 2019 with Ariyoshi, you might feel despair.

午前中に電動バイク
午後にカヤックでしたが、悪天候のため
カヤックは中止になりました。

電動バイクはアシストがかなり強く、軽くこいでもフロントが上がります。岩（石ではなく岩）を踏んでもガンガン乗り越えるし、坂道もグイグイ登ります。

コースは２つあるようで初めの分かれ道で分かれました、一つは女性のいるグループ、もう一つは男性のみのグループ。
私は男性のみのグループでしたが、インストラクター曰くこっちの方が激しく楽しいそうです。

60歳の父（山登り程度の運動をする）と24の私（スノボ等運動好き、バイクも乗る）で参加しましたが、父は“なんとか”完走できました。
私的にはいい体験ができたなと思いました。
本当にスリリングで体力を使う内容で、
あえて言わせてもらうなら危険で、日本だと許可おりないだろうなと思うコースです。

景色は綺麗、コースも大自然を堪能できます。ジュラシックパークの映画でみた光景も何箇所かみれます。
ただし、本当に危険な場面もありました。無理をせずにスピードを抑えて楽しんでください。

※かなり泥で汚れます。服装には注意
※水を買っておきましょう
※サングラスがあるといいです
※体力に自信がない方は事前に申告した方が吉
※2019年有吉の夏休みを想像してると絶望します。

The staff's guidance was friendly, and there are plenty of zip lines with long distances, so you can enjoy it to the fullest. Additionally, you can enjoy the scenery of both the sea and the mountains, making it a great value experience.

スタッフの方々の案内も親切で、ジップラインの本数も多く距離も長いので、たっぷり楽しめます。
また景色まで海も山も楽しめて、お得感満載です。

I had read reviews that it takes a long time to get to standby, so I was prepared for that, but I was called within 30 minutes and got on the Cessna. My ears hurt from the pressure during the descent, but once the parachute opened, the view was truly beautiful and I really enjoyed it.

スタンバイまで時間がかかるとの口コミ読んでいたので覚悟して行きましたが、30分もしないうちに呼ばれて、セスナに乗ってた。落下中は気圧で耳が痛くなったけど、パラシュート開いてからは景色が本当に綺麗で楽しめました。

I had always wanted to go horseback riding in Hawaii, and after taking riding lessons in Japan, my dream finally came true. During a two-hour tour of locations from Jurassic Park, I enjoyed the beautiful scenery on horseback in great weather.

いつかはハワイで乗馬がしたいと、日本で乗馬を習っていましたが、ついに念願が叶いました。
ジュラシックパーク撮影地などを巡る2時間、天気が良く素晴らしい景色を馬に乗って堪能しました。

This tour was so fun. We had a really nice driver that talked about the culture and history of Maui, and she even asked my wife and I questions about ourselves. She knew all the best places to stop & take pictures, eat banana bread, and what literally every plant was. She was truly and expert guide. At one point, she stopped at a waterfall for us to look at, and she said we could jump off of it and she'd take a video of us. And we did!! It was SO fun. Wow. I would do this again. Anyone who goes might want to bring a change of clothes/a towel in case you want to go for a swim!

The staff, Scott, Skippy and co were fantastic. Very entertaining as well as thorough and confident in their jobs. My first 4 lines were horrible (I nearly pulled out), very rough and uncomfortable. After #4 Skippy realised my trolley was broken and gave me his own which made the rest of my journey much more comfortable, although I think he may have walked the rest of the track home.... thanks Skippy :)

I've often heard that it changes your perspective on life, and it's definitely true. The intensity and thrill are incredible. The instructor was kind, which helped reduce my fear by half. (laughs)

人生観変わるってよく聞いてましたが、確かにその通り。迫力とスリルはハンパありません。
インストラクターも親切で恐怖心は半減できました。（笑）

I was torn between horseback riding and mountain biking, but ultimately chose mountain biking. It was the right decision! There was a decent amount of exercise, but the breeze I felt while pedaling was amazing! I had prepared myself for a wait until the bus on the way back, but we participated in the 12:30 session, finished at 2:30, and took the 3:00 bus back to Waikiki, so it worked out perfectly.

乗馬と迷いましたが、結局マウンテンバイクを選択。大正解でした！それなりの運動量はありますが、自分で漕ぎながら感じた風は最高でした！
体験談で帰りのバスまで待ち時間があると見て覚悟していましたが、私たちは12時30分からの回に参加し14時30分に終わり、15時のバスでワイキキに帰ったので丁度よかったです。

It was a valuable experience to ride horses along the ocean. The service was great, and it became a wonderful memory. I was also able to eat the garlic shrimp I wanted on the North Shore, and the schedule was efficient, which left me feeling satisfied!

海の横を乗馬でき、貴重な体験でした。対応もよく、いい思い出になりました。ノースショアで食べたかったガーリックシュリンプも食べられて、効率のいいスケジュールで、満足感ありです！

Driving down the valley from the Waipio lookout is also part of the activity. I believe I can ride a horse that suits me. It seems to be a nervous horse, but I think I'll be fine. We weave through the trees, cross streams, and climb a little hill. Slowly. Next, I want to try galloping as well. The pleasant time passed in the blink of an eye.

WAIPIO lookoutから渓谷を車で下るのもアクティビティのうち。自分に合った馬だと信じ跨がる。神経質な馬らしい。だけど私なら大丈夫。木々を抜け、沢を渡り，ちょっとした坂も登る。ゆっくり。次はギャロップもしてみたい。気持ちの良い時間はあっという間でした。

First experience
The excitement was at its peak.
Zipping through the trees. The swinging suspension bridge, and when I looked back, there was an Aussie laughing playfully. A concerned Indian couple worried about their partner who was too scared to move forward. A kind American elderly couple. Even without understanding the language, the screams were understood.

It was fun.
I couldn't take photos myself, so I would like the instructor's photos. Please.

初体験
ドキドキが、最高に変わりました。
木の間をすり抜けるジップ。吊り橋が揺れる揺れる、振り返ると茶目っ気たっぷりに笑うオージー。足がすくんで前進できない彼を心配するん彼女、インド人カップル。親切なアメリカ人老夫婦。言葉が分からなくても、叫び声は通じます。

楽しかった。
自分で写真が撮れなかったので、
インストラクターさんの写真が欲しいです。お願いします。

I had my first horseback riding experience in my life! Tofi was free-spirited and almost strayed from the line, but it was so much fun. I want to do it again somewhere!

人生で初めての乗馬体験をしました！トフィちゃん自由奔放で列から外れかけちゃうけどめっちゃ楽しかったです。またどこかでしたいなあ〜

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, which were supposed to be sent via email, were not sent.

説明は英語だけ一切日本語わからないスタッフですが　なんとかなります。ここだけ　滝の上ジップしてすごく綺麗です。だんだん長いジップになります。スタッフも若いですけど一生懸命やってくれます。写真はメールで送るとのことでしたが　送られなかったのは残念でした。

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。

You can hear various stories about Maui along the way. The guide, who is knowledgeable about the stars, provides detailed explanations using a telescope. If I had gone by rental car, I wouldn't have been able to have such an experience.

道中で様々なマウイ事情を聞けます
星に詳しいガイドさんが望遠鏡を使って丁寧に説明してくれます。
レンタカーで自分で行ったら、こんな体験はできなかったはずです。

Billy, our guide, was fluent in Japanese, had a great sense of humor with dad jokes, and was a fun and cheerful person. He taught us about various plants on the way to Manoa Falls. The lunch was also delicious.

ガイドのビリーさんは、日本語が堪能で、オヤジギャグも出るし、楽しくて愉快な方でした。
マノアの滝までに、いろいろな植物を教えてもらいました。ランチも美味しかったです。

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.

Thank you, Rick and all staff!

Honolulu marathonを完走した記念に夫婦で飛びました!
私達はカメラマンつきのムービー撮影をお願いしました。
スタッフはどなたも親切で、楽しませてくれます。ダイビングポイントに到達するまでにも、景色の説明やReluxできるようにしてくれます。
セスナから飛ぶ瞬間の怖さはありましたが、躊躇する間もなく、後ろから押し出され素晴らしい景色の中のフリーホールとパラシュート飛行を楽しみます。
パラシュートでは、回転させて楽しませてくれますが、私は酔いました。please don't spinと言えば良いそうです。それでも、とても素晴らしい経験でした！
主人の着陸時は、スライディング着陸しておりズボンは土まみれです。汚れても良いズボンをオススメします。
非日常的な体験に大興奮でした。
ムービーの編集もかっこよくてオススメです。何度も見ながら、素晴らしい景色と面白い自分の顔を楽しんでいます。

thank you,Rick and all staff!

It was my first time, but it was amazing! I want to do it again when I come to Hawaii. I got a little drunk, but my partner, who took motion sickness medicine, was fine, so next time I want to take the medicine and give it a try.

初めてでしたが最高でした！ハワイに来たら、またやりたいです。
私は少し酔いましたが、酔い止めを飲んでいた相方は平気だったので次回は酔い止めを飲んで挑みたいと思います。

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。
牧場に入る所が少しややこしいですが本当に素敵な場所でした。
お時間に余裕がある方は是非！！

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。
