All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

Thank you it was a nice experience to ride in the valley. We did this for our anniversary the only thing I would like to have done is ride side by side with my husband.
But we had a wonderful time.

Buying the tickets on line fast and easy. We drove from Waikiki about 45 minutes lots of parking when you arrive.
Checking in for our adventure was easy, all of 5 minutes.
The Staff are really nice and helpful. Our guide for our UTV ride Natasha was great! She kept us entertained.
We booked the 2hr ride which we are glad we did, wished it was longer though we were having so much fun.
Great views of the mountains valley and ocean too!
Be prepared to get dirty on this adventure we had dry dust and we were black . So dont wear white.
They also have a place to eat and shop while you are there.
Have fun and enjoy!

My father participated!
Trolling in Hawaii was his dream.
The captain was a local, and since my father doesn't understand English, he was very anxious, but the captain was friendly and accommodating, and he returned very satisfied!
He talked about how tired he was and how heavy it was, with a very happy expression on his face!
I was able to do the best filial piety.
Thank you very much!!

父が参加しました！
ハワイでトローリングは父の夢でした。
船長さんは現地の方で父は英語がわからないのでとても不安がっていましたが、気さくに対応していただき、大満足で帰って来ました！
疲れた～重かった～とそれはそれは嬉しそうな顔で話してくれました！
最高の親孝行が出来ました。
ありがとうございました！！

We participated as a family of four. It was a lot of fun, and even our elementary school children could experience it just like adults. You can fully enjoy the nature of Hawaii. The zip line with the great views was the best.

家族４人で参加しました。
小学生の子供たちでも大人と同じように体験でき、とても楽しかったです。
ハワイの自然をたっぷり味わえます。眺めの良い景色の中のジップライン最高でした。

The staff only spoke English, but we were able to communicate somehow, so I really enjoyed it! There are seven of them, and I think that’s just the right amount, not too many or too few. I would like to go again when I visit Hawaii.

スタッフさんが英語のみでしたが、なんとかコミュニケーションが取れるので、とても楽しめました！7本あるのですが、多くも少なくもなく丁度良いと思います。またハワイに行ったら行きたいです。

Meeting at 4 AM was tough, but the activities were amazing! We could return to Waikiki around 10 AM, so we can take a short nap and then get back to activities in the afternoon.
While flying, it was nothing but exhilarating, but despite taking motion sickness medication, I felt a bit nauseous when we landed.

朝4時集合は辛かったですが、アクティビティは最高でした！10時ごろにはワイキキに戻れるので少し仮眠してからまた昼から活動できます。
飛んでる最中は感動しかないですが、酔い止め飲んでのぞんだにも関わらず、着地した時は少し酔ったみたいで気持ち悪かったです。

Absolutely LOVE it here! This was my 3rd time and I’m always impressed with how friendly and helpful everyone is. The horses are well behaved and so sweet and easy to handle (I have zero horsemanship or knowledge of horses)! Bring plenty of sunscreen, a hat to shield your face and be prepared to get dusty or dirty!

We participated in horseback riding for the first time as a family of four. I was worried that my 11-year-old daughter, who is small in stature, might not be able to ride alone, but the horses were so well-behaved that no special training was needed. There was no guide for the scenery, so we simply enjoyed the beautiful views while gently riding along on our horses. (They were so calm that I almost dozed off, haha.)

Regarding the reservation, the voucher we received just before our visit was for a 9:30 AM horseback riding session. When we arrived early at the pickup location, we were told that there was no reservation. For some reason, there was a reservation for a ride starting at 12:30 PM instead. They also mentioned that we had the wrong meeting time, which made us quite anxious. However, thanks to the consideration of the ranch staff, we were allowed to take the bus and participate in a farm tour for free to pass the time until lunch. They were very kind to us, and we were able to enjoy a full day of fun.

I guess these things can happen!

家族4人で初めての乗馬に参加しました
娘は11歳で体も小さいので一人で乗れるか心配でしたが、特に練習も必要ないくらいお利口な馬たちでした。
景観に対してガイドは無かったので、ひたすらステキな景色をパカパカと穏やかに歩く馬さんに乗って観ている。といった感じ。
（穏やかすぎてウトウト眠くなるほどでした笑）

予約について。
直前に頂いたバウチャーも9:30スタートの乗馬を予約していました。
朝早くピックアップ場所に到着すると「予約が入ってない」と言われました
何故か12:30からの乗馬に予約がある。。と。
集合時間も間違えている。。と言われ動揺しました。
牧場のスタッフの方の配慮でバスにも乗せてもらえ、お昼までの時間潰しのためにファームツアに無料で参加させてもらえました
とても親切にしていただき、1日たっぷり楽しむ事ができました。

こんな事もあるんですね〜

I was picked up at 5 AM. Skydiving is a hard activity, so it's no surprise that the instructions and consent forms are lengthy. The explanation of the consent form might feel a bit rough, but don't worry; you can fill it out after you arrive without rushing. They will ask you to fill it out while driving, but I wouldn't recommend it as it can make you feel nauseous. The drive is long, so if you're prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking some anti-nausea medication. Skydiving is very nerve-wracking, but the staff really gets you excited, making it a fun experience. During the skydiving, you will hold hands and spin around, which might make some people feel dizzy, so if you're unsure, it's safer to take anti-nausea medication before skydiving. It was my first time in Hawaii and my first skydiving experience, and it became a wonderful memory. If you're considering it, I highly recommend giving it a try.

朝5時集合でピックアップしてもらいました。スカイダイビングはハードなアクティビティなので、当たり前ですが、説明書、同意書が長いです。その同意書への説明が少し荒く感じるかもしれませんが、焦らず到着してからでも記入出来ますのでご安心を。運転中に記入しなさいと言われますが、酔うのでオススメしません。道中長いので、車酔いの方は酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。スカイダイビングはとても緊張しますが、スタッフの方が盛り上げてくれますので、楽しくできました。スカイダイビング中、手を繋いで回ったりもします。そこで酔ってしまうこともあるので、自信のない方は、スカイダイビング前に酔い止めを飲んだ方が安心です。初ハワイ初スカイダイビングでしたが、とてもいい思い出になりました。検討中の方は是非体験してみてください。

We had a great time on our adventure across the galaxy and would highly recommend! Our favorite part was seeing the rings of Saturn from different angles and even seeing one star that had exploded 60,000 years ago and you can still see it exploding to this day

Only English explanation.
There were 11 participants with two veteran female staff members. My 10-year-old son fell off the horse but was only slightly injured and was able to continue. We proceeded slowly, and while the horses were gentle, there were risks due to the height. He seemed to have fun, so it turned out well in the end.

英語説明のみです。
スタッフはベテラン女性2人に対して、参加者11人でした。
息子10才落馬しましたが、軽傷で続行出来ました。ゆっくりすすみ、馬はおとなしいですが、高さがあるので危険はつきます。本人も楽しかったそうなので、結果オーライでした

I participated with my 11-year-old daughter. Since both of us take riding lessons in Japan, we chose the longer two-hour option. Mendes Ranch is about an hour from Kaanapali. I wasn't confident in driving, so we took a taxi, which cost about $100 one way. I asked the hotel concierge to book the taxi the day before. The concierge mentioned that Uber might be cheaper, but since I had never used it, I opted for the taxi for safety. There were mentions in reviews about the steep hairpin turns on the mountain road, but perhaps because the taxi driver was skilled, I didn't feel particularly nauseous and it was comfortable.

After arriving, we checked in and could enjoy coffee while watching goats, peacocks, and chickens. The cowboy who assisted us spoke in clear English, so even if you're not good at English, I think you'll manage. The horses are well-trained, so they move along with little effort from us. We went into the mountains, where we were able to pick and eat guava and passion fruit. The horses seemed to like the passion fruit, and when we offered the leftovers, they ate them.

The view from the mountains was amazing, and we were allowed to canter up the mountain path. It might be a bit fast for beginners, which could be scary, but I think they let us do it because they knew we had experience. They also took pictures at various points along the way. During the final canter on the mountain path, they recorded a video for us.

We had a very enjoyable time. If you're comfortable driving, I think renting a car and taking your time to get there would also be fun.

11歳の娘と参加しました。私も娘も日本で乗馬を習っているので、2時間の時間が長い方を選択。メンデスランチにはカアナパリから約1時間。運転に自信がないので、タクシーを利用しました。片道約100ドル。前日にホテルのコンシェルジュに頼んで、タクシーを予約しました。コンシェルジュさんは、uberとかが安いけど…と言っていましたが、使ったことがないので、安全をとってタクシーに。体験談に山道のヘアピンカーブがきつい、とありましたが、タクシー運転手さんが上手だったからか、特に酔うこともなく、快適でした。
到着後チェックインをして、コーヒーなどを飲みながら、ヤギやクジャク、にわとりなどを見ることができます。
担当してくれたカウボーイさんは、わかりやすい英語で話してくれ、英語が苦手でもなんとかなると思います。馬たちも慣れているので、ほとんど何もしなくても動いてくれます。途中山の中に入りますが、グァバやパッションフルーツをとって食べさせてくれます。パッションフルーツは馬も好きなようで、残りをあげると食べていました。
山からの景色が素晴らしく、山道を駈歩で駆け上ったりもさせてくれます。初心者の方には速いので怖いかもしれませんが、多分経験者と知ってさせてくれたのだと思います。また、途中途中で写真を撮ってくれます。最後の山道での駈歩では、ビデオを撮ってもらいました。
とても楽しい時間を過ごしました。運転に問題ないなら、レンタカーを借りてゆっくり向かわれるのも楽しいと思います。

I had a hard time finding the barn at Waipi'o on Horseback. I thought there was a sign on the right side of the road, but it was actually on the left. I didn't realize it and ended up passing by and going all the way to the lookout. It's 11 miles from Honokaa on Highway 240, about 2 miles before the lookout.

After gathering at the barn, we descended into Waipi'o Valley for 20 minutes in a 4WD. We were advised to carry as little as possible, so I left my belongings in the rental car.

I joined an English tour with 8 people, but since there were 6 Japanese participants, the guide spoke in broken Japanese, saying things like "dangerous" and "left." However, all the documents and explanations about the trees during the tour were in English. They also took photos along the way, so a camera is a must. I was told that the 4WD wouldn't be locked, so while valuables shouldn't be brought, I wish I had brought a drink.

The horseback riding lasted about an hour. The horses calmly crossed rough paths and fast-flowing rivers. It was a unique experience that I really enjoyed.

ワイピオオンホースバックの納屋を探すのに苦労しました。道路右手に看板があると思ったら、実際は左手。気づかず通り過ぎて展望台まで行ってしまいました。ホノカアから240号で11マイル先、展望台から2マイル手前です。
納屋で集合した後、ワイピオ渓谷を4WDで20分下ります。荷物は極力持たないようにとのことでしたのでレンタカーに置いていきました。
8名の英語ツアーに参加しましたが、日本人が6名でしたのでガイドの方はアブナイ、ヒダリとかカタコトの日本語で話してくれます。ただ書類やツアー中の木々の説明は全て英語です。途中で写真も撮ってくれるのでカメラは必須です。移動する4WDは鍵をかけないとのことでしたので、貴重品はだめですがドリンクは持参すればよかったと思いました。
乗馬の時間は1時間くらいです。足場の悪い道や流れの速い川を馬は平然と渡って行きます。普段経験出来ないことなので、大変楽しかったです。

It was fishing while moving around. There was a lot of sandy ground, and the signs of life were low.

It would be quite difficult unless more bait is spread out.

ポイントを移動しながらの釣りでした
砂地が多く、生命反応が低かったですね

もっと撒きえをしてもらわないと、なかなか難しいです

I participated in the Haleakalā tour for the first time with my 13-year-old daughter.

We took regular breaks, including coffee breaks, while climbing, which made us feel at ease. Women don’t have to worry about restroom facilities.

On the day of the tour, it was a new moon, and the city lights were blocked by a thick sea of clouds, creating perfect conditions. We were able to enjoy the best sunset and a sky full of stars.

Mr. Yamauchi's guiding and talks were enjoyable, and we had an unforgettable day.

I highly, highly recommend the Maui All Stars sunset viewing and stargazing tour!

13歳の娘と二人で初めてのハレアカラツアーに参加しました。

途中コーヒーブレイクなどこまめに休憩を取りながら登っていくので安心です。
女性はトイレの心配もないです。

当日は新月、そして街の灯は厚い雲海に遮られ絶好のコンディション。最高の夕陽と満天の星空を鑑賞することができました。

山内さんのガイドもトークも楽しくて、忘れられない一日を過ごしました。

マウイオールスターズの夕陽鑑賞＋星空観測ツアー強く強くお勧めします

Unfortunately I don’t believe the experience we had was worth the $331 AUD it cost. As my husband and I are big Jurassic Park fans we didn’t want to go all the way from Australia to Hawaii without going to the Ranch. We thought the UTV would be the best experience for us as we don’t like having to be crammed into a bus full of other tourists. The tour started off great driving through the ranch. We drove past a couple of film site locations for other movies/tv shows without stopping at them but as we were there primarily for Jurassic Park it wasn’t a big deal. We made one stop to take pictures which wasn’t any particular movie/tv site, just a picturesque location with the mountains in the background and the water on another side. Our tour guide took our pictures for us with a dinosaur puppet which was a funny experience however, that is as close to anything remotely Jurassic Park related as we then got back into the UTV and drove back to the customer visitors Center without stopping at any other sites on the ranch. We drove past a Jurassic World site but unfortunately our group didn’t stop there like the other groups, we just drove past and as there were rules that you couldn’t stop to take pictures we couldn’t even really get to see much of it. As it was our last day in Hawaii and the main thing we were looking forward to our whole trip it was quite disappointing and the cost of the experience was added salt in the wound. I would recommend when booking any experience to ask for details like which sites you’ll stop at.

The explanation provided by the Japanese guide was very helpful. Since it was my first time visiting Haleiwa, I appreciated learning about the sightseeing points and riding precautions in advance. The sightseeing information shared during the shuttle ride was also very informative, with many things I had not known before. The horseback riding itself was enjoyable, and my children (ages 6 and 8) were able to ride independently and said they had a lot of fun. The 6-year-old was being led by a rope at the front, which made it reassuring as the horse did not stray to the side.

日本人ガイドの方の事前の説明がとても参考になりました。
ハレイワ観光も初めてだったので短時間での観光のポイントや、乗馬での注意点もあらかじめ教えてもらえてよかったです。
送迎車内の観光案内も初めて知ったことも多くてためになりました。
乗馬自体は子ども（6歳8歳）も一人で乗れてとても楽しかったと言っていました。
6歳は先頭の方に綱で引いてもらっており、馬が横に逸れたりしないので安心でした。

I'm glad I went! I had so much fun!
The day before, I fell and got a minor scrape on my palm, so I was a bit anxious and nervous, sweating from my hands, but to sum it up, it was no problem at all. You don't need grip strength for the zip line.
The lockers are small, about the size of a valuables box at a public bath. Larger items need to be left at the office, which was free of charge. A cautious companion (who was told it was at their own risk and left their smartphone) said, "If it’s this safe, I should have brought my smartphone on the course." I think as long as you take precautions to avoid dropping it, you should bring it.
There were many older participants who were actively enjoying themselves, striking poses and even going upside down. However, I think lighter children might stop midway due to not gaining enough speed, so I recommend waiting until they are older to participate.

行って良かったです！すごく楽しかったです！
前日に転んで手のひらに軽いすり傷を負ってしまったので、大丈夫かなあという不安と緊張で手汗が止まらなかったのですが、結論から言うと全然問題なかったです。ジップラインに握力は必要ないので。
ロッカーは銭湯にある貴重品ボックス程の小さいものです。それより大きい持ち物はオフィスに預けます。無料でした。慎重な同行者（自己責任と言われてスマホは預けた）も「こんなに安全ならスマホをコースに持ち込めばよかった」と。落とさない工夫だけしておけば、持っていくべきだと思います。
ご年配の参加者もたくさんいらっしゃって、ポーズをとったり逆さまになったりと、皆さん積極的に楽しんでおられました。ただ、体重の軽いお子さまはスピードが出ずに途中で止まってしまうと思うので、大人の身体になってからの参加をおススメします。

We loved this tour! The guides were awesome and very helpful! I was really nervous, but they put me at ease and were very encouraging. The scenery was beautiful throughout the kayaking and the hiking. I would highly recommend this tour!! One of the favorite things we did in Kauai!

Dustin did a great job interacting with all of us and we were a very diverse group (age, gender and skill level)!

He was very knowledgeable of Hawaiian culture. We also learned a lot about the plants and animals of the area. Beware of the wild boar. ;-)

The hike was muddy but not too difficult. The waterfall was spectacular and much colder than expected.

Would definitely do this again! The morning is cooler and may be drier than the afternoon.

I went with my wife, and we had a great time.

First, we arrived after about 1 hour and 30 minutes by shuttle from Waikiki. After checking in, we were gathered with our group and fitted with the gear. We did a practice zip line and then moved by buggy (which was intense), and then it was time for the real zip line? There are some really beautiful spots with great views since it's on a high ground. We were taking a lot of photos with our GOPRO and smartphones, making sure not to drop them.

There are no restrooms along the way, so be sure to go beforehand! They will hold your bags for you. I put my valuables in a locker with a lock. I regret forgetting to buy a T-shirt. I couldn't buy it online.

妻と行きました。とても楽しかったです。
まずはワイキキから送迎シャトルで1時間30分くらいで到着。受付を済ませたら一緒にまわるグループ（時間帯）が集められ装具を着けてもらいました。練習のジップをしてバギーで移動（激しい）、後は本番？ジップラインをやります。高台にあるのでとても景色がいいスポットがあります。GOPROやスマホを落ちないように持ってたくさん撮影していました。わたしたちも。
途中にトイレはありませんので事前に！
バッグは預かってくれます。貴重品だけ鍵付きのロッカーに入れました。
Tシャツ買い忘れたのが心残り。ネットで買えませんでした。

The sun sinking into the sea of clouds was breathtaking, and the colors of the sky after it set were so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off it. It was divine and incredibly moving!!! I could clearly see the Mauna Kea Observatory on the summit of the Big Island to the south. The starry sky was so close and filled with countless stars, and the Milky Way was vividly visible. I was overwhelmed with emotion as I looked at Jupiter, Saturn, and the Milky Way through the telescope!!!

雲海に沈んでいく太陽、沈んだ後の空の色も美しくて目が離せず、神々しくて大感動!!! 南側にハワイ島山頂マウナケア天文台がしっかり見えました。
星が降るような近くてたくさんの星空、天の川もくっきり見え、さらに望遠鏡で木星、土星、天の川を見て、感動が止まりませんでした!!!

My 7-year-old son was also very excited.
The atmosphere was great as we went through nature.
The feeling of heading towards the vast ocean at the end was wonderful.

7歳の息子も大興奮でした。
自然の中を行くので雰囲気もよく良かったです。
最後は大海原に向かう感じがとても良かったです。

I experienced zip-lining for the first time, and the exhilaration along with the cheerful staff made it incredibly fun. I’ll definitely come again next year!

初めてジップラインを体験しましたが、その爽快感とスタッフの方々が陽気に盛り上げてくれて、メッチャ楽しかったです。また来年も来ま～す！！

We completely enjoyed our water tubing experience! Beautiful location, awesome and informative guides (loved BooBoo and Brittany)!!! The water was warm and the tubing was so much fun.......We will book every time we go back to Kauai :)

The new moon was clear, and the starry sky was amazing. I was moved. The staff were friendly, and I was able to enjoy the tour without feeling awkward. The explanations of the night sky using a laser pointer were also easy to understand. However, being on a mountain over 4,000 meters high was indeed tiring.

新月で晴れて、最高の星空でした。
感動しました。
スタッフが気さくで気を遣わずにツアーを楽しめました。
レーザーポインターを使った星空の説明も分かりやすかったです。
でも、流石に4千メートルを超える山の上ですから疲れました

I have done ziplining several times in Japan, but the length and scenery here are incomparable. There were three staff members accompanying us, so there were no safety concerns. The explanation in Japanese was only in a video before the start, but they supplemented it with broken Japanese and gestures during the activity.

It was a wonderful experience in Hawaii.

日本で何度かジップラインをしたことがありますが、長さと景色の良さは比べものになりません。
スタッフが３名付き添ってくれるので、安全面の心配もなし。日本語での説明はスタート前の動画のみでしたが、途中の説明は片言の日本語や手振りで補ってくださいました。

ハワイでの素晴らしい体験になりました。

Fourth time horseback riding in the canyon✨
I participated again without hesitation. It's a mother-daughter trip✨
"Fourth Tour Highlights"
① The horses are still adorable
② The ranch owner, Mark, is as kind as ever.
③ KOJI is attentive as always
④ Haleiwa Town is still charming
⑤ I got to eat garlic shrimp.

Long sleeves and long pants are a must (something you can throw away)
Take photos with your phone!
We will stop by Dole Plantation. I always think it's unnecessary, but we need to take a restroom break.
Heading to Haleiwa Town. We have 30 minutes to stay. Take photos with angel wings, and then off to horseback riding in the canyon…
★ Please make sure to listen to the guide's horseback riding instructions★
Even though it was my fourth time, I got distracted by the cuteness of the horses and became careless when getting on.
If you follow the instructions, there’s absolutely no problem for beginners.
Riding the horses into the canyon✨ You can ride in Japan, but nothing compares to climbing up and down the canyon and getting a panoramic view of Waimea.

On the way back, we went to Haleiwa Town again… ate garlic shrimp, bought vintage coffee, and saw some turtles at Alii Beach before heading back✨

I think the trip to Hawaii is expensive, and the tours are pricey, but it's worth it.

Thank you!

渓谷乗馬４回目✨
懲りずにまた参加しました。母娘の二人旅です✨
「４回目のツアーポイント」
①お馬さんが相変わらず可愛い
②牧場のオーナー「マークさん」相変わらず優しい。
③ＫOJＩさんがきめ細やか
④ハレイワタウンが相変わらず魅力的
⑤ガーリックシュリンプが食べられた。

長袖、長ズボンは必須(捨てても良いもの)
写真は携帯で！
Doleプランテーションに立ち寄ります。毎度要らないと思いますがトイレ休憩する必要があります。
ハレイワタウンへ向かいます。滞在時間30分です。天使の羽で写真をとり、渓谷乗馬へ…
★ガイドさんの乗馬に関する注意事項は必ず聞いて下さい★
４回目、聞いてたにも関わらず馬の可愛さに気を取られて乗るとき適当になってしまいました。
注意事項を守れば初心者でも全く問題ありません。
いざ、お馬さんに乗り渓谷へ✨日本でも乗馬は出来ますが一緒に渓谷を登り下りてワイメアを一望できるのは比になりません。

帰り再びハレイワタウンへ…ガーリックシュリンプを食べて、ヴィンテージコーヒーを購入してアリイビーチで亀さんを少し見て帰ってきました✨

ハワイ旅行自体金額が高いしツアーも高いですが価値があるものと私は思います。

ありがとうございました！

This team was awesome! The best experience EVER! I would do it again!!!

I went here with my daughter because she rides and loves horses, and insists on riding horses once every trip. This time though, she wanted to canter because most trail rides are scenic and she wanted a actual ride. This place has amazing horses and the views are great, and you have a option to canter or take it slow. They assign you a horse based on what you need. Would definitely come here again, and probably will, because we visit Hawaii every once in a while .
