All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I was worried about my English skills and whether I would enjoy it, but it was fine. There was nothing difficult, and I just let the well-trained horses take me on a walk while enjoying the scenery and plants. I thought it would have been better if the course didn't have a U-turn, but it seems that's how it is. All the tours I passed by were similar.

If you have a rental car, you can easily arrive with the help of a GPS while driving. I was torn between a plan with Japanese language support and transportation, but I recommend this tour because of its low price. The staff arriving late at the meeting time can be seen as a charming aspect of the foreign experience.

英語力が心配で楽しめるかな？っていう不安がありましたが、大丈夫。
難しい事は何もなく、よく慣れているお馬さんにお任せで景色や植物を見て散歩してきました。コースがUターンじゃなければ尚よろしいと思ったのですが、仕方がないみたい。どのツアーも同じような感じですれ違いました。
レンタカーが有れば、カーナビの助けも借りてドライブしながら簡単に到着出来ました。
日本語・送迎付きプランと迷いましたが、料金格安のこちらのツアーはお勧めです。
集合時間にスタッフが遅れてくる所は外国人らしさのご愛嬌という事で。

I participated in the afternoon tour. Since we drove down into the canyon, I was able to enjoy horseback riding in nature. Along the way, I encountered wild horses.

午後のツアーに参加しました。渓谷を車で降りるので、自然のなかで乗馬が楽しめました。
途中で野生の馬に遭遇凍ました。

I chose a children's bike because it was too big for me to reach the pedals, but it was tough to ride! (laughs) The male guide spoke broken Japanese, but he was very friendly! He took a lot of photos for us. My husband's bike got a flat tire, but the cool female guide who was behind us responded quickly and really helped us out. It was a tour where we could truly feel the nature of Hawaii, and I was very satisfied.

What I messed up on was the tip! I got off the bike to thank them and ended up parting ways. I thought, "Wait, was I supposed to give the tip at that moment?!" I went back, but the male guide was already gone. I managed to give the tip to the female guide, though. I'm sorry because tipping is not a custom in Japan.

We were blessed with good weather, but I think if it had rained, I wouldn't have been able to manage since I don't usually ride bikes. There are also steep hills, so please be careful while riding to avoid injuries.

自転車が大きく足が届かないので子供用にしましたがこぐのが大変！（笑）
片言の日本語でしたが、とてもフレンドリーな男性ガイドさん！写真もたくさん撮っていただきました。
主人の自転車がパンクしましたが、後ろについてくれたかっこいい女性のガイドさんに迅速に対応していただいたりと本当にお世話になりました。
ハワイの自然を肌で感じられるツアーで大満足です。
失敗したのはチップ！自転車を降りてお礼を伝えて別れてしまいました。
あれ、あのタイミングで渡さないとダメだった⁉︎となり戻りましたが、男性ガイドさんはもう見当たらず、なんとか女性ガイドさんに渡すことはできましたが。
チップの習慣が日本にはないので申し訳なかったです。
天気に恵まれましたが、雨だったら普段自転車に乗らない私は無理だったかな、と思います。急な坂もありますので怪我しないよう気をつけて運転して下さいね。

Last year, I decided to try skydiving for the first time to celebrate my 50th birthday. It was an amazing experience, and I ended up doing it again this year (^｡^)
You can truly enjoy the most exhilarating feeling!
I noticed that many young people participate, but I definitely want to recommend it to the middle-aged generation as well‼︎
The video recording turned out to be a wonderful keepsake (＾∇＾)

昨年、50歳の記念にと思い人生初のスカイダイビングに挑戦しました。最高の気分を味わい、今年も挑戦してしまいました(^｡^)
最高に楽しい気分を味わう事ができます！
若い方の参加が多いように思いますが、ミドル世代の方にもぜひオススメしたいと思います‼︎
ビデオ撮影はとても良い記念になりました（＾∇＾）

Take the 'Plunge, have a go. An efficient team, supportive, knowledgeable and local. We, 4 of us, all enjoyed the experience, always felt safe. If you haven't experienced zip lining before (We all had) this was a great way to be introduced and build up to the longer and higher lines. Great views, a fun time.

Once in lifetime trip with my parents (both in 70s but fit). We went to the ranch (a little hard to find), drove down with the guides in a 4 wheeler......quite a drive. A very scenic but bumpy 30 minute ride to stables, another 30 minutes to get the whole party mounted up on horseback, and then a leisurely 2+ hours trek through magical lush green landscape, splashing through streams and seeing wild horses grazing, surrounded by towering cliffs and occasional waterfalls.

Only issue -- you won't really hear the guides once you start going. So do some reading up on Waipio vallyet beforehand, and then just enjoy what you are seeing. My mom has never been on horseback, my dad maybe 40 years ago, and they did just fine.

We went as a group of three, and the horses were incredibly gentle! It was my second time riding, but I was worried because my two friends were riding for the first time and none of us spoke English. However, there was no need for concern at all. The number of participants was just right, and the staff were neither too close nor too distant.

The course was not artificial; we crossed sandy beaches and rivers. The sunset we saw when we got used to the horses was truly beautiful and the best part of the experience.

The riding distance was just right, making it an excellent horseback riding experience.

I had been wanting to go horseback riding in Hawaii. Initially, I planned to go to Kualoa, but it seemed that the tours there had a lot of free time (waiting) during the scheduled hours, and I didn't want to be bored, so I quickly changed my plans and found this place instead. In the end, it was a great decision to change.

I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sea turtles, which they said you have a high chance of encountering, but the garlic shrimp I had in Haleiwa was very delicious, and I was able to shop at Patagonia as well. It would have been even better if I had more time, but for now, I was satisfied.

At first, I was a bit nervous about horseback riding, but the horses were used to it, so they all lined up nicely and walked leisurely, making it enjoyable even for a first-timer like me. I wanted to take a video, but I had to give up since I couldn't let go of the reins. However, others were taking pictures. I think photos from the horse's back would be a rare capture.

The coastal route was truly amazing, with beautiful scenery that felt very Hawaiian and refreshing. While the lush greens of Kualoa's nature are beautiful, I thought the blue of Hawaii's ocean was even better. I would love to repeat this experience if I have the chance again.

ハワイで乗馬をしたいと思っていました。
はじめはクアロアに行くつもりでしたが、クアロアのツアーは拘束時間内のフリータイム（待機）が多いようで、持て余すのが嫌だったため急きょ予定変更、他にないかと探して見つけたのがこちらでした。
結果、変更して大正解でした。
高い確率で遭遇できるとのことだった海亀を見ることができず残念でしたが、ハレイワで食べたガーリックシュリンプはとてもおいしかったし、パタゴニアで買い物もできました。
もっと時間に余裕があったら尚良かったですが、とりあえず満足でした。
乗馬は、最初は少しビビってしまいましたが、慣れている馬達なので、みんなお利口に1列になってのんびりと歩いてくれて、初めての私にも楽しめました。
ムービーを撮りたかったのですが、さすがに手綱から手が離せなかったため断念しましたが、他の方は撮っていました。馬の上からのビューなんて貴重な写真だと思います。
海沿いを歩くコースも景色が本当に最高で、ハワイらしく、気持ち良かったです。
クアロアの大自然のグリーンもきれいでしょうが、ハワイの海のブルーの方が良かったと思いました。
また機会があったらリピートしたいです。

We had some much fun!! Even with the rain it was a really enjoyable experience.

I had always wanted to try skydiving. When our company trip to Hawaii was decided, I was really excited, but the other employees didn't agree, so I ended up signing up alone. However, the round-trip shuttle service to the hotel was included, and since they spoke Japanese, I felt safe participating alone.

After arriving and finishing the procedures, I had some free time, which felt a bit long, but once it started, it was fun to watch others come down from below. When it was my turn, I felt a bit nervous jumping out of the Cessna, but I was thrilled by the breathtaking view that unfolded before me, something I had never seen before.

As soon as I landed, I felt a little dizzy, and since I was in the last group, I had to get on the bus right away, which made me feel a bit unwell, but other than that, it was incredibly fun. If I have the chance again, I definitely want to do it again.

Also, I recommend purchasing the video and photos for an additional fee, as you can enjoy them later.

ずっとやりたかったスカイダイビング。社員旅行でハワイへ行くことになったので、張り切っていたのですが、他の社員さんには賛同してもらえず一人での申し込みになりました。
でも宿泊ホテルまで往復送迎付きで、日本語が通じるので、安心して一人でも参加できました。
到着し、手続きが終わってから少し時間があり、時間を持て余すのですが、開始になると下から他の方が降りて来るのを見るのも楽しかったです。
自分の番になり、セスナから飛び出る時に少しビビりましたが、目の前に広がった今まで見たことの無い景色と興奮にずっと大騒ぎしていました。
地上に降りてすぐ少し酔った感じになり、最後の班だった私は帰りのバスにすぐ乗らなければならず、ちょっと具合が悪かったのですが、それ以外はとてもとても楽しかったです。
次にまた機会があれば、絶対にまたやりたいです。
あと、別料金での動画や写真ですが、後から楽しめるので、購入をお勧めします。

I'm so glad I did it!
I was able to have a life-changing experience!

The instructors were all really interesting people, which made me feel safe while flying!

It was truly amazing! If you're hesitating, you absolutely should do it!

とにかくやってよかった！
人生が変わる体験をすることができた！

インストラクターの方も面白い方々が沢山いて安心して飛ぶことができました！

ほんと最高です！
迷ってるのであれば絶対やるべきです！

I didn't catch anything at all, and the equipment and tackle were at a toy level. The location was also close to the port, so it didn't require much effort.

With just a quick money-making scheme, there's no way repeat customers will come back.

全く釣れず、道具も仕掛けもおもちゃレベルで場所も港から近くてエネルギー使ってない。

その場しのぎの金儲けだけで、リピーターが来るわけない

I had never ridden a horse before, but the horse was well-trained, so I felt safe riding it. It was fun to explore various filming locations. (It was a bit disappointing that the Jurassic Park sign was a little far away.) I must have used muscles I don't usually use, as it was tough to go down the stairs when I got back, but it was a fun experience!

乗馬はしたことなかったけど、しっかり調教されていて安心して乗れました。
ロケ地も色々見ながら回れて楽しかったです。
（ジュラシックパークの看板は少し遠かったので残念でした）
普段使わない筋肉を使ったのか、戻ってきたときには階段を降りるのも辛かったですが、楽しい体験でした！

Such an amazing experience! It's hands down the best way to experience the ranch and get to see where so many movies were filmed. Doing it on horseback lets you truly enjoy the beauty of it all.

The weather was nice, and walking in the great outdoors was very pleasant and enjoyable. The main trekking course was under construction, so we took a different route, but it was fun to have the guide explain many plants to us.

お天気も良く大自然の中を歩いてとても気持ちよく楽しかったです。メインのトレッキングコースは、工事中で、違うルートだったのですが、たくさんの植物をガイドさんに説明してもらい楽しかったです。

My horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch during the New Year holiday was wonderful, so I repeated it. The horse I rode was very smart, and without stopping to graze along the way, it followed the horse in front of it slowly and steadily, allowing me to ride without hardly having to use the reins. I'm grateful to the horse for walking for two hours without a break.

正月休みにクアロアランチでの乗馬体験が素晴らしかったので、またリピートしました。
乗ったお馬さんがとてもお利口で、途中道草食う事もなく、かつキチンと前のお馬さんにゆっくりと付いていってくれたので、手綱操作を殆どする事なく、乗馬出来ました。
２時間も休まず歩いてくれたお馬さんに感謝です。

Wow ..spectacular views...the tour was well run and organised.
A must do when here...well worth the money and highly recommended!

I've always wanted to try skydiving, but I didn't have any friends to jump with. This time, the friend I went to Hawaii with was on board. Everyone else was asking, "Why would you do that? You could die!" with negative opinions. But I wanted to challenge myself and give it a try! I'm so glad I didヾ(≧∀≦*)ﾉ〃

We ascended in a Cessna all the way above the clouds, and the voltage was MAX—what an amazing experience! The person I jumped with was awesome too! The wind felt great. I initially planned to purchase photos, but the video turned out to be much more beautiful and captured the moment better, so I decided to go with the video instead.

If you're thinking about it, I highly recommend you experience it!

今までスカイダイビングをやりたくても一緒に飛んでくれる友達がいなく。今回一緒にHawaiiに行った友達はOK,
皆には、どうしてやるの？死ぬかもしれないよ。とnegativeな意見。でもどうしてやってみたく挑戦！
やってよかったでーすヾ(≧∀≦*)ﾉ〃
雲の上まで、セスナで上昇しVoltage　MAX景気は最高！一緒に飛んだbodyも最高！　風が気持ち良く。最後に写真を購入する予定でしたが、ムービーの方が綺麗に撮れていて、臨場感があるので一生に一度の経験なのでムービーに変更。
考え中の方は是非とも経験してください。。

I was scared of free fall and thought I wouldn't be able to do this either, but once I tried it, it was incredibly fun! The instructors were all delightful people who kept making me laugh. I was worried about not being able to speak English, but there was one person who spoke Japanese, and everyone else understood me even with my broken language, so I didn't have any trouble.

私はフリーフォールは怖くて乗れないのでこれも無理なのではと怯えながら行ったのですが飛んでみたらめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！インストラクターの方々も愉快な人達ばかりでずっと笑わせてくれました英語が話せない点でも不安でしたが日本語を話せる方が1人いましたし皆さんカタコトなら理解してくださったので困りませんでした。

The staff who came to pick us up spoke Japanese. They were the only one on this tour who could communicate in Japanese, but they watched over us until the end!

I’m a university student and participated alone, but the Japanese people around me talked to me, and the staff member who spoke Japanese was especially kind (laughs).

I wore long pants and a short-sleeved shirt, and I brought a hoodie. It was surprisingly cold in the early morning, and the wind was really strong up in the air, so I was glad I had the hoodie.

The instructor and the photographer were both really nice, checking in with me, asking, "Are you nervous?" (laughs).

The plane was a bit shabby, and the height before jumping was quite intimidating, but once you jump, it’s all good. You don’t feel the falling speed too much, so you can enjoy it!

If you want to have videos and photos taken from the outside, it costs an additional 20,000 yen, but it’s worth it, and everyone seemed to choose that option! You can use a card!

Tips are about 20 for the instructor, 10 to 20 for the photographer, and 10 for the driver... It’s good to bring around 60 dollars in cash. There’s also a fee for the lockers!

ピックアップに来たのは日本語が喋れるスタッフでした。このツアーで日本語対応可能なのはその人だけでしたが、最後まで見守っていてくれました！

私は大学生で、1人で参加しましたが、周りの日本人の方が話しかけて下さいましたし、日本語対応可能なスタッフの方も特に優しくしてくれました（笑）

服装は長ズボンに半袖、パーカーを持って行きました。朝早いので意外と寒くて、しかも上空は風がビュービューで、パーカーがあってよかったです。

インストラクターもカメラマンもとてもいい人で、Are u nervous?と逐一確認してくれました笑笑

飛行機がちゃっちぃのと、上空で飛び込む前の高さが凄くて、そこまではかなりビビります。でも飛び込んでしまえばこっちのもんです。落下スピードもそんなに早くは体感しないので、楽しめますよ！

ビデオと写真をアウトサイドから撮ってもらうと、プラス2万円ですが、価値はありますし、みなさんそちらを選択してました！カードは使えます！

チップが、インストラクターに20、カメラマンに10〜20、ドライバーに10ドルかかります…。現金を60ドルくらい持っていくと良いです。ロッカーにもお金かかるので！

It was amazing! Jamie and Elijah were wonderful guides! Such a magical way to experience the beauty of Hawaii! It was the perfect amount of time and the most beautiful scenery. Great for all ages! 10/10 recommend!

Since my child was small, I gave up on the one-person option, but we had plenty of fun with the four-person option! The scenery was amazing! The guide took some interesting photos for us, and everyone loved them!

子供が小さかったので
1人乗りをあきらめましたが、
４人乗りでも十分楽しめました！
景色も最高でした！
ガイドの方に面白い写真を撮っていただけて
みんなに好評でした！

I went for the first pickup in the morning. It was super early, but I was so excited that I could hardly sleep, so it actually worked out well.
I don't really understand what the instructor is saying. Maybe I should have studied English more? (laughs)

朝一番のお迎えで行きました。めっちゃ早いですが、ドキドキでほぼ寝れなかったので、逆に良かったです。
インストラクターなに言うてるかよくわかりません。もっと、私が英語を勉強してこればよかったかな？笑

The feeling of having no floor the moment you jump out of the airplane is addictive. Be careful, as your mouth gets really dry if you keep screaming with it open. When I switched to GoPro filming, I was in charge of operating the parachute, which was incredibly terrifying!

飛行機から飛び降りる瞬間の床がない感触がくせになります
叫びぱっなしで口あけてるとすごく乾くので注意
ゴープロ撮影にした際にパラシュートの操作任されたのがめちゃくちゃ恐怖でした笑

The pickup was at 4:30 AM. A Japanese person came to pick us up, but the driving was a bit rough. When we arrived at the location, the person had a unique demeanor, and we filled out the application while being scolded (laughs). However, as we talked, he turned out to be a really nice person, so it wasn't a complaint; I just wanted to say to everyone to be careful and enjoy!

As for the actual skydiving, it was the best! That sums it up in one word!!

I will fly again someday!

朝4:30のピックアップでした。
日本人の方がピックアップに来てくれましたが、運転が少し粗かったです。
現地に着いても、独特な感じの方でしたので申し込みなどの記載も怒られながらやりました（笑）
でも、話していくととても良い人ではありましたので文句ではなく、皆様気をつけて楽しんだくださいと言ったところでしょうか？！

実際のスカイダイビングは、最高☆その一言に尽きます！！

またいつか、飛びます♪

I had experience at 2000 meters in the past, but this was my first time at 4000 meters. The view was amazing, like diving above the clouds, but I struggled to breathe due to the wind pressure, which was quite painful. Because of that, I felt a bit nauseous when I came down, possibly from lack of oxygen or the rapid change in pressure (from listening to the conversations of other participants, it seemed everyone was in the same situation). The instructors were all foreigners, but I could understand the general meaning of their explanations, so it wasn't a problem.

過去に2000メートルの経験はあったが4000は初で、景色は雲の上からのダイブでめっちゃよかったけど風圧で呼吸ができなかてかなり苦しかった
そのせいで酸欠になってるのか、気圧の急激な変化なのか降りてきたら少し気持ち悪かった（参加者の会話を聞いてるとみんな同じ状況になってました）
インストラクターは外人さんばっかりでしたがなんとなくのニュアンスで説明してる意味わかるので問題ないです

With careful planning, the team's sense of unity was fostered, and the production leading to the finale reached its peak.

Blessed by a new moon, guided by the brilliant sunset that continues into tomorrow—

A truly starry night sky filled with stars!

There’s no way to not be moved. Hats off to the incredible skills of the renowned producer, Mr. Yamauchi!

All the staff members were friendly, even though they didn't speak Japanese, and I was able to have a really enjoyable time.

スタッフの方々全て、

通じませんでしたが、
全員がフレンドリーに
接してくれて、
とにかく楽しい時間を
過ごす事が出来ました。

Even though it was early morning, gathering at 4 AM was tough, but I was able to sleep for about an hour on the way to the airport.

I was told that there were a lot of people today, so the flight might be a bit delayed, and I was worried about what to do since I had three preschool children being watched by my parents. In the end, I was able to return to the hotel by 9:30.

Since I was participating alone, I was nervous, but I ended up making friends with others who had signed up, so I didn’t feel lonely at all.

Once we arrived at the location, we checked for any missing items on the consent form we filled out in the van, noted how we would handle the camera and video, and handed over the consent form and passport (a copy was acceptable) while waiting for our names to be called.

When my name was called, I had to store my belongings in a locker (which required four quarters) and wait for the instructor. There were many handsome instructors, but there were some hits and misses (sorry about that! Haha).

We prepared together, and once the plane returned, it was time to board!

Then, in about 15 minutes, we dove from 4,300 meters!

I usually don’t get motion sickness, so I was totally fine, but the pressure from the free fall for one minute and equalizing my ears was tough. I initially thought I would only get the photos, but after watching the video that was made, I ended up buying it too.

At first, I thought, "Maybe I didn’t need the video..." but after returning home and showing it to my coworkers, I was glad I bought it! For those who are going soon or are on the fence about it, I highly recommend getting the video!

朝と言っても4時代に集合はきつかったけれど
1時間くらい飛行場までの間寝ることができた。

今日はとっても多いからちょっとフライト遅れるかもー
っと言われ、就学前の子ども3人を親に見てもらってる身でどうしよう…と思ったけど
結局ホテルに帰ってこれたのが9時半だった。

1人参加だったのでドキドキしたが、別に申し込んでいる人と仲良くなり寂しい思いはしなかった。

現地についてバンで書いた同意書などに抜けがないか、カメラ動画どうするか記入し、同意書とパスポート（コピーでも可）を預けて名前を呼ばれるまで待機
呼ばれたらロッカーに（25セント硬貨4枚必要）預けてインストラクターを待つ
インストラクターはイケメンが多かったが当たり外れあり。（失礼！笑）

一緒に準備をし、飛行機が帰ってきたらいざ搭乗！

あとは15分くらいで4300メートルからダイブ！

私は普段酔わないので全然大丈夫だったけど
フリーフォール1分間の風圧と耳抜きが大変だった。
結局写真だけとおもっていたけど出来上がった動画の上映を見て動画も買ってしまった

すぐは「動画はいらなかったかも…」って思ってたけど帰国して職場の人に見せたりするのに動画も買ってよかった！
と思った。
今からの人、迷ってる人は動画おすすめです！






呼ばれたら担当の

At first, I signed up for skydiving on a whim, but it turned out to be a great decision.

The diver who took care of me helped ease my nerves while we were in the Cessna, and even after we jumped, they took lots of photos in various poses. Once we were under the parachute, they explained the islands of Hawaii to me. The photographer was also cheerful and energetic, raising the excitement before the jump and capturing many wonderful photos.

Although the photos and videos come at a cost, seeing the final products made me feel it was worth it. Even after returning to Japan, I find myself smiling while looking at the pictures.

The only challenging part of the skydiving experience was dealing with the overseas insurance. I couldn't apply for insurance online, so I had to go directly to an insurance agent.

But it was definitely worth going through all that!

初めは勢いで申し込んだスカイダイビングでしたがやってみて大正解でした。

私を担当してくださったダイバーさんは、セスナ機の中で緊張していたら緊張ほぐしてくださいましたし、飛んでからも色んなポージングで写真を撮り、パラシュートになってからはハワイの島を説明下さいました。
カメラマンさんも明るく、ノリよく、飛ぶ前からテンション上げてくれ沢山素敵な写真を撮ってくれて下さいました。

写真や動画は値段はしますが、出来たものを見るとやって良かったと思いました。
日本に帰ってからも写真を見てニヤニヤしています☺️

スカイダイビングで大変だったのは海外保険の加入に手間取ったことです。
ネットの保険は申し込めなかったので別で直接保険屋さんへ対応頂きました。

でも、そこまでする価値ありました
