All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I participated in a two-hour course. Even though it had been a while since I rode a horse, the pre-ride lecture was quite simple: pull the reins to the right when you want to go right, and to the left when you want to go left. It also mentioned that if the horse starts eating grass, you should firmly pull the reins to stop it. I was a bit worried when I got on the horse, but it was very well-behaved and followed the horse in front of it perfectly. We went through a lush forest and then came across a path where we could see the ocean. There was also a place with several large dinosaur bones, which I assume was a filming location for Jurassic Park, making it quite enjoyable. I felt a bit nervous when other riders approached on the narrow path, wondering if we could pass each other, and we even encountered some buggies. The two hours flew by. However, I unexpectedly started to feel pain in my backside, but overall, it was a fun tour.

２時間コースに参加。久しぶりに馬に乗るというのに、事前のレクチャーは右に行きたいときは手綱を右に引き、左の時は左にということと、草などを馬が食べ始めたら、しっかりと手綱を引いて辞めさせるようにというものくらいででした。心配しながら馬に乗ったのだが、馬がとてもおりこうさんで、しっかり前の馬の後について進んでいってくれました。こんもりとした森の中を進んだかと思うと海が見える小径をいったり、ジュラシックパークの撮影地だったのでしょうか、大きな恐竜の骨がいくつも置いてある場所があったりで楽しめました。狭い道を向こうからも馬に乗った人たちが来て、すれ違えるのかとドキドキしたり、バギーが走っているのに出会ったり、２時間はあっという間でした。しかし、途中からお尻が痛くなったのは予想外でしたが、楽しむことができたツアーになりました。

my husband and I had a great experience st the stargazing tour! Greg was very knowledgeable and very passionate about space and the stars. He answered all our extra questions thoroughly. We also enjoyed the location, the hotel was beautiful and it was dark enough to see many stars.

I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful nature on the two-hour course. It felt just like stepping into a movie, and I was satisfied just by gazing at the scenery, even without detailed explanations.

I think it's best to carry your smartphone or camera hanging around your neck. There were moments when the horses acted up and started to trot quickly, and the instructor had to pull away horses that strayed from the line, so if you have pockets without zippers, you might drop something. I was told to leave my small body bag in a locker, possibly because it had a decent amount of stuff inside.

The horses are generally well-trained and seem accustomed to various noises, walking calmly in formation. The horse behind me occasionally grazed, and when it stopped, it acted up a bit. There were no moments that felt dangerous this time.

I have some experience with horseback riding, but since it had been a while, my rear started to hurt, so I might find intense sports difficult the next day. The activity ends just when you start to feel a bit tired and want to head back.

After a short break, it was just the right time to get on the bus. The return bus can get a bit crowded, so it might be better to act a little earlier.

2時間コースで美しい大自然を満喫できました。まさに映画の中に入り込んだようで、詳しい説明がなくても景色を眺めているだけで満足できる時間でした。
スマホやカメラは首から下げる状態での持ち込みが良いと思います。馬が反抗して早足をしたり、列から離れた馬をインストラクターが早足で引いたりする場面があったので、ジッパーのないポケットだと落としてしまうかもしれません。小さなボディバッグも(中身がそれなりに入っていたためか)ロッカーに預けるよう言われました。
馬は基本的によく調教されていて多少の物音にも慣れているようで、大人しく隊列をなして歩いてくれます。後ろの馬は時々草を食べたり、それを止めたら反抗したりはしていました。危険を感じるような場面は今回ありませんでした。
私は乗馬を多少経験したことがありますが、それでも久しぶりに乗ったのでお尻が痛くなりましたので、翌日に激しいスポーツはきついかも？ アクティビティ自体はそろそろ疲れたので帰りたい…と思う頃に終わります。
少し休憩してからバスに乗ったらちょうどよい時間になりました。帰りのバスは少し混みますので、気持ち早めに行動した方がいいかもしれません。

I was picked up from the hotel and signed the necessary documents for skydiving, then headed straight to Dillingham Airport. First, I stored important items in a locker; anything I was wearing that could fall off, like my watch and glasses, had to go in the locker or I wouldn't be able to jump.

I was introduced to my diving buddy, who helped me set up the harness, and then we boarded the skydiving plane. My heart was racing as the engine revved up, and once we reached an altitude of 4,267 meters (14,000 ft), it was time to jump one after another!

From that height, I didn't feel like I was falling; it was a strange sensation as if I was floating. Once we reached parachute altitude, it felt like a leisurely stroll in the sky. The instructor spun us around and let us pull the cords to steer the parachute, which was incredibly fun.

The few minutes until we landed were truly exhilarating, and this kind of experience is hard to find anywhere else. It's definitely worth trying at least once in your life!

Eight years ago, I traveled with my wife and participated in this stargazing tour, which left a strong impression on me. This time, my daughter wanted to see it, so she joined us after traveling from Oahu. She was thrilled by the sunset above the clouds. However, it was unfortunate that the brightness of the moon due to its phase was too strong, and we couldn't see the truly beautiful starry sky. Mr. Yamauchi's guidance was excellent.

８年前に家内と旅行し　この星空ツアーに参加し　非常に感激したのを覚えており　娘に見せたいとの事で　今回同行してくれる娘をオアフから移動しての参加　雲の上の夕焼けに娘は感激
ただ　月齢による月の明かりが明るすぎて　本当にきれいな星空を見せられなかったのは　残念
山内さんの案内　良いですよ--------

We were jostled on a shuttle bus from Oahu to the North Shore! The shuttle was filled with members who would zipline with us, and we were the only Japanese people. After arriving, we weighed ourselves and got equipped, and then off we went!

We took a buggy to the zipline location, which was a lot of fun (laughs). The staff were all full of humor and had wonderful smiles. Due to my weight, I got stuck halfway on the zipline, and while I was panicking about what to do, they swiftly appeared to help me. I was out of breath since I stopped at one-third of the way, but it was really cool, like a ninja! A must-see!! (laughs)

There was also a female staff member who helped me. Working women are wonderful!

The vast nature stretched as far as the eye could see, with the ocean in view and the sound of gentle waves in the distance. I was able to spend a lovely half-day.

オアフ島から送迎バスで揺られてノースショアへ！
送迎バスには一緒にジップラインをするメンバーが乗っていて日本人は私たちだけでした。
到着後体重を図り装備をしていざ！
ジップラインの場所まではバギーに乗っていくのですが、これがまた楽しい（笑）
スタッフはユーモアたっぷりな方たちばかりで笑顔が素敵です。
体重のせいかジップラインの途中で止まってしまい、どうしようと焦っていたところ、さっそうと現れ助けてくれました。
１／３の場所で止まってしまったため、さすがに息を切らしていましたが、さ忍者みたいでかっこよかったです！必見です！！（笑）

スタッフに女性の方もいたのですが、その方にも助けていただきました。
働く女性は素敵です！

見渡す限り広大な自然で、海も見え、遠くからさざ波が聞こえてきます。
素敵な半日を過ごすことができました。

I recommend experiencing skydiving at least once in your life! I felt like it could change your life when you actually try it. The morning starts very early. It takes about an hour to get to the airport from around Waikiki. I ended up sleeping quite a bit in the car. It shakes a lot, but if you’ve taken medication, you won’t be able to skydive, so be careful. You also need to refrain from alcohol the day before.

When you arrive at the airport, you listen to the instructions and wait until it’s your turn to be called. At that time, the sun is just rising, and it’s really beautiful! It felt great, like a morning activity!

When it was our turn, we went up in the plane, and the divers were very calming, explaining where we were flying from. When it was time to jump, I was guided quickly, and before I knew it, I was flying! I had never experienced anything like that before, and I was just amazed to be in the sky. I didn’t feel like I was falling at all; it felt like I was hovering in place. The wind pressure was intense until the parachute opened, but once it did, I was able to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Everything was a first-time experience, so it was quite a crazy experience, but I absolutely recommend challenging yourself to do it!

人生で一回スカイダイビングを経験することをオススメします！
実際にトライしてみて人生が変わるようなそんな気がしました☆
朝はとても早いです。ワイキキ周辺から1時間ほどで飛行場まで到着します。その車中では結構爆睡してしまいました。すごく揺れますが、薬を飲んでしまっているとスカイダイビングができないようなので気をつけた方がいいです。アルコール摂取も前日は控えなければいけません。
実際に飛行場で到着して、説明を聞いて自分たちが呼ばれるまで待ちます。その時にちょうど日が昇ってくるのですが、それがとても綺麗です♪朝活という感じでとても気持ちが良かったです！
自分たちの番になって、飛行機で上まで行くのですがダイバーさんがすごく和ませてくれたり、ここは今この場所を飛んでいるんだよと教えてくれたりしました！
飛ぶときはあっという間に誘導されて、気づいたら飛んでいました！笑
今までにあんな経験はしたことがなかったのですが、とにかく空を飛んでいることにびっくり。そして自分が下に落ちてる感覚が全くなくてその場で止まって飛んでいるような感覚です。パラシュートが開くまでは風圧がすごいですが、開いてからは落ち着いて景色を堪能することができました。
何から何までがはじめての経験だったので、かなりクレイジーな経験ですが、絶対にチャレンジすることをおすすめします☆

I am an experienced rider.
Because of my experience, I really enjoyed it.
I have never seen such breathtaking scenery.
The horses are well-trained and managed, so even without human commands, they start moving when the lead horse (staff) in front begins to walk.
There is no fast pace; it’s a slow and steady walk.
There are remnants of the Jurassic Park set, which were impressive to see.

乗馬経験者です。
経験者ゆえとても楽しめました。
これほどの絶景は見たことがありません。
馬もしっかり調教、管理されていて、人間が指示を出さなくとも、前列のリーダーの馬（スタッフ）が歩き出せば、同じように動き出すという感じでした。
速足などはありません。ゆっくりゆっくり歩いていくという感じです。
ジュラシックパークのセットなどが残っており、見ごたえありました。

I was searching for horseback riding experiences and was drawn to this plan because it offered a walk by the seaside. I was able to get there without getting lost using the rental car's navigation system. The local staff spoke only English, but there were Japanese instructions for horseback riding, and they also demonstrated with gestures, so even my elementary school-aged child could understand. It was a very sunny day, but the sea breeze was refreshing and felt great. While walking along the coast, I was told to look for sea turtles, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any. The horses were very well-behaved, walking slowly in a line. It was about an hour and a half walk; since I wasn't used to it, my backside got a little sore towards the end, but it was definitely a satisfying experience. I would love to repeat it if I have the chance again.

乗馬体験で検索していたところ、海辺を散歩できるというところに惹かれ、こちらのプランに参加しました。レンタカーのナビで迷わず行けました。現地のお姉さんは英語オンリーですが、日本語の乗馬の注意書きがあったり、デモンストレーションも身振り手振りしてくれたりしたので、小学生の子供でも理解できました。とても日差しの強い日でしたが、海辺の風はさわやかで気持ちが良かったです。海岸を歩いているとき、ウミガメを探してみて！と言われましたが、残念ながら見ることはできませんでした。馬たちはとてもおりこうさんで、一列に並んでゆっくり歩いてくれました。1時間半ほどのお散歩、慣れていないので最後はちょっとお尻が痛くなりましたが、十分満足できる内容でした。また機会があったらリピートしたいです。

We gave up on horseback riding because our child's height wasn't sufficient, and instead opted for a family-friendly buggy. After watching a video with safety instructions (in Japanese), we hopped on right away. Wearing helmets in the summer heat was a bit tough, but once we started moving, the breeze felt great, and I was truly amazed by the beautiful scenery around us! We zipped past free-range cows, and the course itself was fun with bumpy paths and both uphill and downhill sections.

However, one downside was getting dust from the car in front of us. Next time, I’ll bring a mask. Still, it's a place I want to visit again just to see that scenery. My child was also very satisfied!

子供の身長が足りなかったので乗馬をあきらめ、家族で乗れるバギーにしました。注意事項等のビデオ（日本語）を見た後に、早速乗車。夏の暑さの中ヘルメット着用はちょっと辛かったですが、走りだせば風が気持ちよく、何より周りの景色の素晴らしさに感動でした！放し飼いの牛さん達の脇をすり抜けたり、でこぼこ道あり登坂下り坂ありで、コース自体も楽しかったです。
ただ、前を走る車の埃を被ってしまうのが難点でしょうか。次回はマスク持参します。。それでも、あの景色を見に、また訪れたいと思う場所です。子供も大満足していました！

The bus was quite comfortable, but the trip was not much fun, We didn't get to stop in some spots where it seemed interesting, and we were always in a rush when exploring the stops because we need to get back on the bus.

Word of advice, If you don't mind driving in a narrow street then go on your own and enjoy the road to Hana on your own pace

Since deciding to go skydiving, it became the main purpose of our trip to Hawaii. My wife was scared, but after inviting her multiple times, she finally agreed. She seems to have thought about it after reading others' experiences and watching videos on YouTube.

We scheduled it for our second day in Hawaii, as the first day was our arrival day. Since it was something we were anxious about, we wanted to get it done early. For our late-night snack, we decided to have steak to celebrate.

On the day of the jump, we were the last group in the morning session, so we had a long wait. During that time, we waited while drinking hamburgers and coffee from a food truck and stretching. We also visualized our jump while watching the previous group descend. (By the way, the hamburger here was quite delicious. It had a name like cheeseburger! It was $10 with coffee. I recommend it.)

By the time we boarded the helicopter, I was excited and not nervous at all. My wife seemed to be quite anxious. The flight to the jump point was surprisingly long, and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

When it was time to jump, I felt a bit scared too. Before the parachute opened, the change in air pressure caused ear pain and made it hard to breathe, which was quite uncomfortable, but once the parachute opened, it felt relaxed and like flying like a bird.

The instructor made it fun by spinning us around, but many people get dizzy from that, so if you start to feel sick, just say "Don't spin!" This phrase is very important.

We landed safely without any worries.

The instructor was cheerful, and we had a great time. If you're hesitating, I recommend doing it. However, if I were asked if I would do it again, I would say no. It was fun, but considering the wait time and feeling a bit nauseous, I wouldn't do it again. Nevertheless, it was a great experience, and I think it was worthwhile.

I recommend it. It's also a good idea to request video recording; they will ask you on-site.

スカイダイビングをする事が決まってから、ハワイへ行く一番の目的みたいになってました。嫁さんは、怖がっていたのですが、何度も誘ってやっと賛成してくれました。
みなさんの体験談やユーチューブで動画を見て考えたらしいです。
自分たちはハワイ滞在２日目にしました。１日目はハワイ到着の日だったため。不安なことでもあるし、早めに済ませる意味で２日目です。夜食にはおつかれ会的な意味ももたせてステーキにしました。

当日は、午前中の組の中では最後の組だったので待ち時間が長かったです。
その待ち時間の間は、トラック販売のハンバーガーとコーヒーを飲んだりストレッチしながら待機。前の組の人たちが降りているのを眺めながらイメトレです。(ちなみにここのハンバーガーかなりおいしかったです。チーズハンバーガー？のような名前！コーヒーとセットで10ドルでした。おすすめです。)

自分は、実際にヘリに乗り込む頃には緊張などなくワクワクしていました。嫁さんはかなりドキドキしてたらしい。
ヘリで飛び降り地点までの時間は意外と長く、素敵な景色を楽しみました。

いざ出発の頃は自分もちょっと怖かったです。
パラシュートが開くまでは気圧の変化で耳が痛いのと息がしにくい事も有り、結構苦しかったですが、パラシュートが開いてからはゆったり鳥気分でした。

インストラクターの方が楽しませる為にくるくる回ったりするのですが、それで酔う方も多いので、気持ち悪くなったらドントスピン！と言ってください。この言葉かなり重要です。

着地も心配なく無事にできました。

インストラクターの方も陽気で楽しい時間が過ごせました。
迷っているならやる事をお勧めします。が、自分がもう一回やるか聞かれたらもうやらないです。楽しかったですが、待ち時間や若干気持ち悪くなる感じ等踏まえて。
楽しかった事には変わりはありませんし、良い経験ができたと思ってます。

おすすめです。ビデオ撮影も頼んだ方がいいです。現地で聞かれます。

I saw it on the program "Ariyoshi's Summer Vacation in Hawaii," and it was definitely one of the activities I wanted to try. Since my child is still too young to participate in a single-rider vehicle, we signed up for a five-person option.

We participated as a family of four with two children, and we booked two courses for the five-person four-wheeler (one driver and one passenger each). However, upon arrival, we were told to ride in one buggy as a family, and we had to take turns driving. As mentioned in other people's experiences, I wish we had been informed about this in advance. Driving the buggy itself was a lot of fun, but it felt disappointing as it diminished the overall enjoyment.

『有吉の夏休みハワイ』という番組で見て、絶対に参加してみたいアクティビティの一つでした。子供がまだ1人乗りに参加できない年齢なので5名乗りを申し込みました。

子供2人、家族4人での参加で、5名乗り四輪バギーのコースを2つ（運転手1人、同乗者1人をそれぞれ）申し込みましたが、現地では家族なので1台のバギーに乗るように言われ、運転は交代となりました。他の方の体験談にもありましたが、そのようになるのなら事前に言ってほしかったです。バギーの運転自体はとても楽しかったのですが、楽しみ半減という感じで残念でした。

After getting on the shuttle bus from a nearby meeting point to our accommodation, I woke up to find we had arrived at Kualoa Ranch (laughs). I had heard reviews about the helmets being smelly, so I bought a cap at a 100 yen shop to wear.

We started horseback riding after watching a DVD with Japanese subtitles and receiving a brief explanation. I was a bit worried because the explanation was very simple, but the staff spoke some Japanese and provided polite support, so it was fine.

There was one specialized staff member for about six customers, who guided us while we rode the horses. The weather was great, and riding in such a beautiful setting was truly the best.

Since the riding time was two hours, my friend said they got "bored" halfway through, but I actually enjoyed it so much that I wanted to ride even longer. My friend, who has a weak core, said their lower body was swaying for the entire two hours with the horse's movements, which caused back pain. I recommend being mindful of your core while riding (laughs).

You couldn't bring anything except drinks and your phone while riding, but there are lockers available. Also, photography during the ride is allowed, but videos are not (because focusing on the screen can lead to falling off the horse).

It was fine to film videos as long as you secured a GoPro with a chest mount harness and didn’t focus on the screen. There were props used in movie filming and many great photo spots.

Long horseback rides and the scenery are experiences you can't easily have in Japan, so I'm really glad I went. Highly recommended!!

宿泊先から近い集合場所から送迎のバスに乗り、寝て起きたらクアロアランチ到着（笑）
ヘルメットが臭いという口コミがあったので、１００均でキャップを買って行きました。
日本語字幕付きの説明DVDと、簡単な説明を受け乗馬開始。
あまりにも簡単な説明だったので心配になったのですが、スタッフさんは片言ですが日本語を話せて丁寧にサポートしてくれたので、大丈夫でした。
お客さん６人ほどに対して１人、乗馬専門のスタッフさんが担当し、馬に乗って先導してくれます。
天気も良く絶景の中での乗馬は、本当に最高でした。
乗馬時間が２時間もあるので、友人は途中から『飽きた』と言っていましたが、私はむしろもっと乗っていたいと思うほど楽しかったです。
体幹の弱い友人は、馬の動きと一緒に上半身が２時間ずっとユラユラしていたためか、腰が痛くなったそうです。
乗馬中は体幹を意識する事をお勧めします（笑）
乗馬の際は飲み物と携帯以外は持ち込めませんでした。ロッカーがあります。
また、乗馬中の写真撮影はOK、動画はNG（画面を注視すると落馬する危険があるから）
Goproをチェストマウントハーネスで固定して画面を注視しなければ、動画撮影大丈夫でした。
映画撮影で使われた大道具？小道具？が置かれていたり、映える撮影ポイントがたくさんありました。
長時間の乗馬も、景色も、日本ではなかなか体験できないので本当に行って良かったと思います。オススメ！！

The weather was great.
I participated during winter break last year.
It felt like rice planting.
After all, it's summer vacation.
Our guide, Kaz, is on his third time.
He takes good care of us and is the best.

天気も最高。
去年は冬休みに参加。
田植えみたいだった。
やっぱり、夏休みだね。
案内人のカズさんは三回目。
面倒見が良くて、最高です。

I participated in a two-hour horseback riding experience starting at 12:15 PM. It included transportation from the hotel. However, instead of being picked up from the hotel where I stayed, I was instructed to go to one of four designated hotels in Honolulu that were closest to me. It's a good idea to confirm in advance which hotel you need to go to for pickup.

Since there was about an hour of waiting time before the horseback riding, I spent the time visiting souvenir shops and the beach, which was about a five-minute walk away. Before the riding, we received explanations through a Japanese video, so beginners need not worry. There were six participants, all of whom were Japanese, so I think they coordinate that.

The guide who accompanied us during the ride spoke only a little Japanese, just enough to give commands like "Right!" or "Stop!" After two hours of riding, my backside was sore and I had muscle pain, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, taking in the ocean views and passing by filming locations from Jurassic Park.

After the horseback riding, we waited for about 30 minutes before the bus picked us up and took us back to the same hotel around 3:30 PM. On the way back, there were many people, and we had to wait in line for quite a while to board the bus.

Overall, while the horseback riding tour is a bit pricey, I think it’s a great experience.

12時15分からの二時間の乗馬体験に参加しました。ホテルからの送迎付きでした。ただ宿泊したホテルへ送迎ではなく、ホノルル内では4箇所くらいの決まったホテルのうち近いところを指定されてそこまで自分でいくようになっています。お迎え時にはどのホテルに行かないといけないのか事前によく確認しておいた方がいいです。
乗馬前に一時間ほど待ち時間があったのでお土産屋やビーチ(歩いて5分ほど)までいって時間をつぶしました。
乗馬前には日本語のビデオで説明をうけるので初心者でも心配はいりません。一緒に参加者した人は六人で全員日本人でした。揃えてるんだと思います。乗馬中ついてきてくれたガイドさんは単語だけ少し日本語話せる程度で、右！とか止まって！とか指示をくれます。
二時間の乗馬でお尻は痛くなり筋肉痛になりましたが、海をみたりジュラシックパークの撮影場所を通ったりと見どころたくさんで大変満喫しました。
乗馬の後は30分くらい待ったあとバスで迎えに来たのと同じホテルまで3時30分くらいにつきました。帰りは人が多くてバスに乗るまで列にだいぶ並びました。
そもそも乗馬はツアー代が少し割高ですが、いい体験になると思います。

I was able to leisurely explore the vast ranch on a well-trained horse. There are two course options: 1.5 hours and 2.5 hours, so horse riding enthusiasts can choose the 2.5-hour option to fully enjoy the experience.

Since this tour does not include transportation, if you are not renting a car, you can take an Uber to get there, but please note that you won't be able to catch an Uber for the return trip (as there aren't many cars passing by), so a taxi is essential.

広大な牧場の中を、しっかりと調教された馬に乗って悠々と散策することができました。コースは1.5時間と2.5時間の2種類あるため、乗馬好きな方は2.5時間を選びたっぷりと楽しむこともできます(^^)
送迎がないツアーなので、レンタカーではない場合に、行きはUberで行けますが、帰りはUberで拾えない（車があまり通らない）ため、タクシー必須ですのでご注意ください。

This time, my daughter and I signed up for this highly rated tour as it was our first time on Maui. At Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, we enjoyed freshly made, warm, delicious doughnuts. We decided not to take motion sickness medication since we would be taking breaks on the way to the summit, but my daughter, who is prone to motion sickness, felt a bit nauseous, so I thought it would have been better to take the medicine just in case. Although there were many clouds and we couldn't see the sunset, the colors of the clouds and sky were very beautiful. During the stargazing, we were able to see many stars through a large telescope, including the rings of Saturn and the bands of Jupiter. Later, while listening to our guide's wonderful stories, I had to interrupt to go to the restroom, but I was glad there was a restroom at the summit. I think it's reassuring for those who need to be close to a restroom. This was the best tour I've ever been on, with everything provided, including jackets, tea, and chairs. We also visited the steak and dim sum places that we were recommended, and they were very delicious.

今回娘と2人で、初マウイ島ということで、評価も高いこのツアーに申し込みました。
クリスピークリームドーナツでは、出来立てのホカホカの美味しいドーナツをいだきました。
山頂まで、休み休み行くということで酔い止めは飲まずにいきましたが、酔いやすい娘はちょっとよってしまったので、念のため薬を飲んで行けばよかったと思いました。
雲が多く、夕陽は見れませんでしたが、雲や空の色はとてもきれいでした。
星空観測では、大きな天体望遠鏡で、たくさんの星をみることができ、土星の輪や、木星の線までしっかり見えました。
その後、ガイドさんのとてもいいお話を伺っている途中、トイレに行きたくなり話の腰を折ってしまいましたが、山頂にもトイレがあって良かったです。トイレが近い方にも安心だと思います。
上着やお茶、椅子等、至れり尽くせりの今までで一番のとてもよいツアーでした。
また、教えてもらったステーキやヤムチャのお店も行きました。とても美味しかったです。

The horse ate a lot of grass, and even when I pulled the rope, it was strong and didn't listen much, which was tough. Kualoa Ranch was magnificent, and it made us feel small. We chose the two-hour course, but there were no breaks along the way, and my butt and hips hurt, so I ended up walking strangely when I got off (laughs). There was only one guide from overseas, and I thought it would have been nice to have another one.

草をよく食べる馬で、ロープをひっぱっても力が強くあまり言う事聞かなくて大変でした。
クアロアランチは、壮大で自分たちがちっぽけに思いました。
2時間コースにしましたが、途中休憩がなくお尻や股関節が痛くて、降りた時変な歩き方になりました(笑)
案内してくれる海外の方が、1人しかいなくて、もう1人いてもいいんじゃないかなーって思いました。

After a long time, I went horseback riding in Oahu. Unlike the famous Kualoa Ranch, it wasn't crowded here. If you don't need a helmet, you just need to sign a waiver. There are staff members who can speak Japanese, but since my daughter can speak English, we started the ride right away.

During the hour and a half horseback ride, we climbed hills from the 1,000-acre ranch, and the staff took photos of us with the ocean in the background. They seemed to have no commercial intent, as they took pictures with our smartphones.

Additionally, we could attach a pouch to the horse, allowing us to carry water and our smartphones, so we could freely drink water and take photos during the ride. It was a wonderful experience.

久しぶりにオワフでホースライド。
ここは、有名なクアロア牧場と違って混雑していませんでした。ヘルメット不要ならば署名すればOK。日本語が通じるスタッフはいるらしいのですが、娘も英会話ができるのでそのままライドスタート。
1時間半のホースライドでは、1,000エーカーの牧場から丘を登り、そこでスタッフが海をバックに写真を撮ってくれます。商売っ気が無いのか、こちらのスマホで撮影してくれます。
また、馬にポーチをつけられるので、水やスマホを入れてホースライド中も自由に水を飲んだり、スマホで撮影したりできてとてもいい時間を過ごせました。

It was my first time horseback riding, and I was a bit anxious, but I managed to get through it thanks to the typical American laid-back attitude. Haha! I didn't have much time to enjoy the scenery, but I really got to experience the great outdoors! Next time, I want to try the two-hour course as well.

初めての乗馬ということで、不安でしたが、アメリカ特有のテキトーさで何とかなりました。笑
景色を見る余裕はあまりなかったですが、大自然を満喫できました！！
今度は2時間コースも試してみたいです。。

This tour was quite an adventure, complete with beautiful views, good food, and of course an exciting ride. Ty, our guide, shared all kinds of historic and pop culture facts related to the ranch. We learned a little about the original irrigation system from the ranch's early plantation days and even got to walk the full length of an irrigation tunnel and explored a small cave. We also saw a recent Hawaii Five-0 filming location, hand fed some cows, and ate fresh tropical fruit right off the plant. Ty also let us set the pace for the ride...we chose fast and rough and he did not disappoint. A couple times I thought we were going to spin out or flip over, which is exactly what we wanted!
I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun adventure.

While waiting, I felt nervous, but it was more fun to get caught up in the vibe of the instructor and cameraman. Let's force ourselves to smile! When you say "Kau Kau," it's fine even without equalizing your ears.

Right after jumping, the noise and wind pressure are overwhelming, but once the parachute opens, it truly feels like a scenic flight, like being a bird. I felt a bit nauseous, but I managed to get through it by coordinating with the instructor. It's a bit pricey, but I recommend getting the video and photos since you can look back on them later.

待つ間ドキドキしますが、インストラクターとカメラマンのノリに巻き込まれちゃった方が楽です。無理にでも笑いましょう！カウカウと言うと耳抜きなしでも大丈夫。
飛んだ直後は轟音と風圧で一杯一杯ですが、パラシュートが開いたあとは正に遊覧飛行、鳥になった気分です。私は若干酔いそうになりましたが、インストラクターと動きを合わせて乗り切りました。少々お高いですが、ピデオと写真はオススメです。後で振り返れるので。

This was a perfect adventure. It's a long day, if only there were more hours in the day and a share driver. It's a tough drive on any driver, even the tour drivers. Well worth it, every cent. And quite entertaining. The views and the stops were quite diverse, amazing Maui
Thanks Scully

Unlike Oahu, the best way to enjoy the Big Island is through nature! This experience of interacting with horses and becoming one with the magnificent nature is truly invaluable. The horses are well-trained, and while it may be a bit lacking for advanced riders, it's perfect for families and couples to enjoy at a leisurely pace! I think you'll have a wonderful time.

オアフ島と違いハワイ島では自然を楽しむのが一番！馬と戯れ雄大な自然と一体になれるこの体験は何物にも代えがたいものです。馬はよく躾けられており、上級者には少し物足りなさもあるかもしれませんが、家族やカップルでゆっくり楽しむには最高！楽しい時間を過ごせると思います。

I participated in a tour that allowed my mother, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, to enjoy the streets of Haleiwa, garlic shrimp, horseback riding, and more all at once. Our guide, Masa, shared interesting stories, and the comfortable car ride made it a delightful experience for both my mother and my elementary school-aged nieces. I was worried because previous reviews mentioned that there wasn't enough time for lunch, but our guide took our request for garlic shrimp in advance and made a reservation, so we were able to enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace. If I could be a bit greedy, I would have loved to explore Haleiwa for another 15 minutes.

ハワイ初来訪の母にハレイワの街並みやガーリックシュリンプ、乗馬などを一度に楽しめるツアーを探して今回参加しました。
ガイドのマサさんのお話も興味深く、楽チンな車での移動で母も小学生の姪っ子達も大満喫してくれました。
以前の口コミでは「ランチを食べる時間が少ない」とあったので心配していましたが、事前にガイドさんがガーリックシュリンプのリクエストを聞いて予約してくれたので、ゆっくり食べることが出来ました。贅沢を言えば、あと15分くらいハレイワ散策出来たらうれしいです。

I'm so glad I participated! I had my concerns and was worried about dying, but after reading everyone's experiences here saying how great it was, my husband and I decided to book the tour. Even during the ascent in the plane, I felt no anxiety and took off smoothly. It was truly beautiful, and I wanted to keep flying forever. The instructor was a foreigner, but he was really unique and fun. I highly recommend that participants request the optional camera on-site. My husband didn't sign up for it, but I asked for the instructor's wristwatch camera. He even took pictures of us together, and although I only intended to get photos, the videos turned out to be amazing, so I ended up ordering both. I was able to add the video later after seeing how well it turned out. There were others who hired a photographer, but even the instructor's cheaper option was more than enough. I'm really glad I participated. I hope everyone gets to see the beautiful scenery of Hawaii from the sky!

参加して良かった！気にはなってたけど不安もあるし死んだらやだしと思ってました。ここの体験談の皆さんが飛んで良かったと書いていたので背中を押され夫婦でツアーを申し込みました。飛行機で上昇しても不安はなく、あっさり飛びました。本当に美しくてずっと飛んでいたかったです。インストラクターの方は外国人の方ですが、すごくユニークで楽しかったです。参加される方は是非、現地でオプションのカメラをお願いする事をお勧めします。主人は申し込みしませんでしたが、私はインストラクターの腕時計式のカメラでお願いしました。主人と一緒にも撮ってくれたし、写真だけのつもりが動画が特に最高で両方注文してしまいました。出来具合を見て後から動画は追加できました。カメラマンを頼んでいる方もいましたが、インストラクターの方の安い方でも十分でした。本当に参加して良かったです。ハワイの美しい景色を是非空から見て欲しいです。

My son and I had the best time ever. The instructors/guides were experienced and made the ride exciting. The water fall swim was perfect.... Can't wait to get back to Hawaii to experience their ziplines.

Please be sure to pack a separate set of cloths because it can get very messy....

It was a tour where I could feel the thoughtful care in every detail. They gradually increased the altitude while allowing us to rest, so everyone in the group was energetic. It was great to receive warm clothing, gloves, and hot tea.

The sunset felt like it was sinking into the clouds, but the beauty of the starry sky afterward was beyond words! The tour seems to be fully booked continuously, so if you’re not careful, you might miss out. The price is slightly higher than the English tours, but it’s definitely worth it.

日本語で細やかな心遣いが感じられるツアーでした。少しずつ高度を上げて休みながら山頂まで行ってくださるので、参加メンバー全員元気でした。防寒着や手袋、暖かいお茶まで戴けて良かったです。
サンセットは雲に沈む感じでしたが、その後の星空の素晴らしかったことは筆舌に尽くしがたい❗モノでした。ツアーは満席続きらしくのんびりしていたら、取れなかったです。英語ツアーよりも多少価格は高くなりますが、絶対お得です

I visited seven years ago and was moved once again!!! This time, the season was great, and both the sunset and starry sky were breathtaking.

It truly became a wonderful memory for my husband's 60th birthday celebration. I hope to meet Yamapi again!!!

7年前に伺い、感動をもう一度！！！
今回は季節も良く、夕陽も星空も感動的なものでした。

本当に主人の還暦祝いに良い記念となりました。
ヤマピーとまたお会い出来ることを願って！！！
