All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

This tour was a wonderful experience during my trip to Hawaii. Our guide, who was born in Akita, skillfully shared stories while driving (fluent in both Japanese and English) and provided us with rich knowledge about plants and Hawaiian history during the hike. We were fortunate to have such a great guide. Additionally, the driver played the ukulele and kept the participants engaged while also guiding foreign guests. Next time, I definitely want to join the Dolphin and You tour.

　今回のハワイ旅行の中では、非常にいい時間を過ごせたツアーでした。
秋田生まれのガイドさんが車中から巧みな話術を繰り広げ（日本語・英語ペラペラ）ハイキング中も植物やハワイの歴史など豊富な知識を伝えてくださり、ガイドさんに恵まれたツアーでした。また、運転手さんもウクレレを弾き、参加者を飽きさせない工夫をしながら外国人の対応のガイドをしておられました。次は、是非、ドルフィンアンドユーのツアーに参加したいです。

On Christmas, December 25th, I participated with my family of five. We were blessed with good weather, and it was comfortable without any wind. However, as someone who gets cold easily, I spent the time bundled up in my UNIQLO Ultra Down jacket, along with the warm gear provided and a lap blanket. (I noticed someone brought a knit hat, and I thought I should bring one next time!)

The vast land,
As the sun sets,
Stars, stars, stars.

Every moment was a luxurious experience!

The timing for the photo shoot was perfect.

Talking while gazing at the starry sky was moving.

Delicious bento,

Warm tea,
(I brought some snacks, and for some reason, my usual snacks tasted several times better, haha.)

It was reassuring to have a restroom nearby.

I read reviews to choose this tour, and one mentioned, "The guide, Mr. Yamauchi, maximized its charm."

That was absolutely true! Mr. Yamauchi's thoughtfulness multiplied the emotions we felt. Having such a wonderful guide made it a memorable experience for a lifetime. I believe the scenery and stories left a lasting impression on the children as well!

I also want to say,

For those who are hesitant about going, you absolutely should!

If I have the chance to visit Maui again, I would definitely like to participate. Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi!

12/25 クリスマスに家族5人で参加させていただきました。
お天気に恵まれ、風もなく、過ごしやすいとのことでしたが、
寒がりの私は持参したUNIQLOのウルトラダウンと用意していただいた防寒具と膝掛けで過ごしました。(ニット帽を持って来ていた方がいて、次回は持って行こうと思いました！)

ツアー選びの参考に口コミを読んでこのツアーに参加しましたが、

"その魅力を最大限に発揮させてくれたのがガイドの山内さん"との口コミがあります。

まさに、その通り！
山内さんの心配りが感動を何倍にもしてくれました。
素晴らしーいガイドさんに最高のツアーを案内してもらえて一生の思い出になりました。
子供達の心にも景色やお話がやきつけられたと思います！

私も申し上げます、

行くか迷われている方は絶対行った方がいい
です！


私もマウイ島にまた行くことがあれば、是非参加したいと思っています。
山内さん、ありがとうございました！

It was amazing! The shuttle service was reliable, and they spoke Japanese. It was my first time skydiving, and I was very satisfied!

最高でした！
送迎もしっかりしていて日本語が通じ、はじめてのスカイダイビングでしたがとても満足です！

The horseback riding experience itself was very satisfying as we walked along the coast with beautiful scenery. However, I couldn't fully understand some of the driver's explanations, so it would have been better if they had provided a bit more detailed information.

体験した乗馬自体は、海沿いを歩くため景色がよく、大満足でした。ただ、ドライバーの方の説明が一部よく理解できなかったため、もう少し丁寧に説明を頂けるとよかったです。

I was torn between the 1-hour course and the 2-hour course, but since I wasn't very interested in the other activities, I chose the 2-hour course, and it was a great decision. There were only two groups of four people in the 2-hour course, so I received thorough support. Additionally, since it was a 2-hour course, I was also taken to the Movie Site, which was a lot of fun. As for clothing, it's better to wear shoes instead of sandals and long pants instead of shorts. It's wise to dress in a way that anticipates being splashed with dung or urine.

2時間コースか1時間コースか迷ったが、他のアクティビティにはあまり興味がなかったので、2時間コースを選択したら、アタリでしたー。2時間のコースはパッケージプランの人があまりいないのか2組4名しかいないのでじっくりサポートしてもらえた他、2時間のコースだとMovie Siteにも案内してもらえたので十分楽しめました。あと服装ですが、サンダルでなくて靴、短パンでなくて長ズボンの方がいいですね。フンやオシッコをかけられることも想定した服装がいいでしょう。

I was anxious about participating with my family, but after reading the reviews, which mentioned no accidents, I decided to give it a try. I became an instructor, but I got spun around so much that I ended up vomiting afterward. I felt sick for a while, so if that hadn't happened, I might have wanted to do it again, but now I'm thinking maybe it's enough for me. However, it was a good experience overall.

家族で参加して不安はあったけど口コミを見て事故も内容だしやってみようとなりました。
インストラクターになりますが、グルグルに回されて、終わってから吐きました。ゲロゲロです。しばらく気分が悪かったのであれが無かったらまたしようと思うけど、もういいかなと思いました。でもいい体験ができました

We all dove together as a family. The kids were very satisfied. The couple had experienced this on their honeymoon, so it was their second time. The weather was great, and the staff's service was excellent. The explanations were thorough, making it comfortable even for beginners. If I had to mention a downside, it's that Japanese people are not accustomed to tipping, so it would be better if tips were included from the start to avoid any resistance. However, for those who are hesitant, I believe the experience is worth it.

家族全員でダイブしました。子供も大満足。夫婦は新婚旅行で経験しているので2回目。天気も良くスタッフの対応も最高でした。説明も丁寧で初心者でも安心ですね。難を言えば　日本人はチップ制度に慣れていないので　最初からチップ込みにして頂ければ抵抗は無いのですが・・・・。でも　悩んでいる方は、経験して損は無いと思います。

Wonderful experience! Our guide Dustin was amazing and shared interesting history of Hawaii. Well worth it! We'd do it again!

Had a blast and we would do it again! It’s a little hard on the ears though.

It was very sunny on the day, and I think we were lucky. Our driver and guide, Jin, was knowledgeable about Hawaii and the stars, providing various explanations. He was also well-versed in photography and taught us how to capture the stars. He took proactive steps, allowing us to have the best position for sunset and stargazing.

当日はとても晴れていて、ラッキーだったと思います。
ドライバー兼ガイドのジンさんも、ハワイ、星に詳しくいろいろと説明していただきました。また、カメラにも詳しく、星のとり方も教えていただきました。
行動も一歩早い行動を取ってくれたので、ベストなポジションでの、サンセット、星空観察ができました。

I participated with my fifth-grade niece. At first, she was scared, but after trying it once, she said it was fun! (The first ride was a gentle line, but from the second ride on, it was a decent height and length.) We took a big jeep to the location of the lines after the first ride, so there was no turning back! It’s guaranteed to be exhilarating! Although Japanese is not understood, I was able to enjoy it even though I can't speak English ^_^

小学5年生の姪っ子と参加しました。
姪っ子は、最初は怖がっていたのですが1回すると、楽しい！と。(1回目は緩やかなラインだった為、2回目からは、そこそこの高さ、長さのラインに。)
2回目以降のライン場所まで大きなジープで行くので、後戻りもできません！
スカッと！する事間違いなし！
日本語は通じませんが、英語が話せない私でも楽しめました^_^

Concerns for Japanese people:
- Not being able to communicate in Japanese
- Not knowing when to give tips

Is that about it?
It's like a well-trained horse just following the guide. There will probably be various explanations from the guide along the way, but since I can't understand English, there won't be any.
I think it would be good to sell tours that include tips for Japanese customers.

日本人に心配だと思う所
○日本語が通じない
○チップの渡すタイミングがわからない

これぐらいですかね？
よく調教された馬で、ガイドさんの後をついていくだけ
途中、色々とガイド説明があるんだろうけど、英語理解できないので無し
日本人向けにチップ込みツアーの販売が良いと思う

The leader spoke English, so I couldn't understand the guide very well. The scenery itself was amazing.

I made a reservation for 15:30, and the meeting time was at 11:00. I thought I would have a lot of free time, but when I checked in, I was guided to a horseback riding session starting at 12:00.

I'm glad I was able to do it early, but it was a bit of a mystery why the horseback riding was scheduled for 15:30. My father had to cancel the two-hour horseback riding due to a foot injury, but on the day of, there were openings, and we were able to take a bus with a Japanese-speaking guide.

リーダーは英語なので、ガイドがよくわかりません。
景色自体は最高です。

15:30に予約して、集合時間は11時でした。
暇をもて余すんだろうなと思って受付したら、12時からの乗馬に案内されました。

はやくにできてよかったですが、なぜ15:30の乗馬案内になっているか、ちょっと謎でした。父親は足を痛めたので2時間の乗馬をキャンセルしたのですが、当日、空きがあり、日本語ガイド付きのバスに乗れました。

This was my second time skydiving in my life. The staff were all foreigners, but they taught us in English very politely, and I felt I could trust them with my life. I also booked additional photos, and it was a truly great experience.

人生2回目のスカイダイビングでした。
スタッフの方も皆さん外国の方ですが丁寧に英語で教えてくれるし、この人に命を預けて良い。と頼れるスタッフでした。
写真も追加で予約し、とっても良い経験でした

Absolutely amazing! The meeting time was at 5 AM, and it was cold and I was sleepy... The wait time before skydiving was 2 hours, which was tough, but by late morning the temperature rose, and the instructor was friendly and provided solid support, allowing me to feel safe and trust them! The view from 4,200 meters in the air and the free fall was an experience beyond my imagination. Once the parachute opened, it was wonderful to descend slowly while enjoying the scenery and feeling the wind.

とっても最高！
集合時間が朝の5時で寒くて眠くて…スカイダイビングするまでの待ち時間が2時間あり辛かったけど、昼前には気温も上がりインストラクターも気さくでしっかりサポートしてくれて安心して任せることが出来ました！上空4200メートルからの景色とフリーホールは想像以上の体験でパラシュートが開いてからはゆっくり景色を楽しみながら風を感じながら降りてくるのがすごくよかったです。

I'm afraid of heights, but I made a reservation because my husband loves this kind of thing and I thought he would enjoy it. At first, I regretted it, but after doing the first practice run, I was surprisingly not scared at all and didn't feel like I was falling, which was a relief. After a while, the scenery was the same, and since there were trees around, it didn't feel high at all. I thought maybe halfway would be enough because I was tired, but it turned out to be a great experience that I'll remember for a lifetime.

高所恐怖症なんですが旦那さんがこーゆうの大好きなので喜ぶかな？と予約しました。
最初は後悔しましたが練習用の1本目をやったら
意外と落ちる感じがなく怖い気持ちは無かったので安心しました。途中からは景色も同じでなんなら木が茂っていたので高く感じなかったし
疲れたのもあり半分でいいかな？とも思いましたが一生に一度のいい体験になりました。

I think the satisfaction level will vary depending on the instructor you fly with. If you hit the jackpot, you can experience unimaginable flying techniques and valuable experiences (operations), but if you miss, it's just a matter of falling. It's more nauseating than being on a boat, so it's better to take motion sickness medication.

共に飛ぶインストラクターにより満足度が変わると思います。当たれば想像できない飛び方や貴重な体験(操作)が出来ますが外れるとただ落ちるだけです。
船より酔います。酔い止め飲んだ方がいいです。

We participated as a family of four on a personal trip. I was nervous until we arrived since we booked online. There was no shuttle service, so I debated whether to rent a car or take a taxi until the end. Our reservation was for a meeting time of 8:30 and a start time of 9:30. Our hotel was the Alohilani Resort in Waikiki, which is about a 45-minute drive away, so we had to leave the hotel by at least 7:30. In the end, we took a taxi to the location (about $100 including tip). There are only two routes: one along the coast and the other through the mountains, and we chose the mountain route. Along the way, we encountered a typical morning rain in Hawaii, which made me think, "Oh no!" But by the time we arrived, it had completely cleared up and was sunny!

We quickly checked in and were told to come to the buggy boarding area by 9:15. We stored our belongings in a locker for $5, which we could open and close multiple times. As time passed, many people kept arriving. At the buggy boarding area, we watched a short Japanese DVD for less than 10 minutes, chose our helmets, and finally got on. We wore sneakers that could get dirty, while others borrowed something like Crocs (for free). Before leaving, I read other experiences and worried that my daughter and I wouldn't be able to drive, but we had no problems at all. We went around with a couple from Austria, making a group of six. The filming locations were interesting, though not as famous as those at Universal Studios or Disney, and the ranch we passed had cows that stopped for the buggies. The nature was magnificent, and the views were never boring. The staff even made fun videos, and they were very nice.

After finishing, it was just lunchtime, so my daughter and I ordered hamburgers at the restaurant, while my husband ordered a steak set with teriyaki sauce. The meat was from pasture-raised cows, and it was delicious!

On the way back, we used the city bus. It seems there are two buses an hour during the day, but they don't come on time. This is Hawaiian time! We waited for about 30 minutes. Finally, we boarded, and it took an hour to get to Ala Moana, costing $5.25 per person. We took the same route back to Waikiki, with locals getting on and off, and the bus was clean. It was a valuable experience since we don't often get a chance to ride the city bus.

個人旅行で家族4人で参加。ネットで予約したため現地に着くまでドキドキ。送迎がないので最後までレンタカーを借りるかタクシーで迷いました。予約が取れたのが集合が8:30でスタートが9:30。ホテルがワイキキのアロヒラニリゾートで　そこから車で45分くらいかかるため　少なくとも7:30にはホテルを出ないといけなく　結局タクシーで現地へ行きました。（チップも含めて約100ドル）海岸側を通るか山を抜けていくしか2とおりの道しかないのですが　山側を抜けていきました。途中ハワイ特有の朝の雨が降ってきて　え～！と思いましたが　現地に着くとすっかりやんで快晴！
すぐに受付を済ませて　9:15にバギー乗り場へ来るように言われました。荷物は5ドルで何度も開け閉めできるロッカーへ。時間がたつにつれてたくさん人がどんどんやってきます。
バギー乗り場で10分もない日本語のＤＶＤを見て　ヘルメットを選びいよいよ乗ります。私たちは汚れてもいいスニーカーでしたが　そうでない方々はクロックスのようなものを借りてました（無料）出国前に他の体験談を読んで　私と高校生の娘は運転できないのでは…と心配でしたが　全く問題なく運転できました。私たちとオーストリアから来た夫婦と6人で回りました。ロケ地もＵＳＪやディズニー程ではないですが面白かったし　途中の牧場も牛がバギーが通るまでちゃんと止まってくれますし　何しろ自然が雄大で眺めも飽きません。スタッフさんもおもしろ動画を作ってくれたり　とてもいいかたでした。
終わってちょうどランチタイムなので　レストランで私と娘はハンバーガー、主人は照り焼きソースを絡めたステーキセットを注文。お肉は放牧されている牛のもの。これもおいしかったですよ！
帰りは路線バスを利用。昼間は1時間2本あるようで　それでも時間どうりにには来ません。ここはハワイアンタイム！30分くらい待ったでしょうか。ようやく乗って、アラモアナまで、1時間。一人＄5.25。来た道と同じルートでワイキキまで。途中ローカルの方々が乗り降りして　車内もきれいでした。
なかなか路線バスには乗るチャンスもないので貴重な体験でした。

It was my first time on a zip line. At first, I only felt fear, but by the second time, I found myself really enjoying it! The staff spoke in a way I couldn't understand, but their kindness and brightness were really great! I want to study English before my next visit.

初めてのジップラインでした。最初は恐怖心しかありませんでしたが、2回目になるととても楽しんでいる自分がいました！スタッフも言葉は何を言っているのか分かりませんでしたが、親切＋明るさでとても良かったです！次回までに英語を勉強しておきたいと思います。

The weather and moon phase were favorable, making it enjoyable. To satisfy more serious astronomy fans, a more impressive telescope might be needed.

天候、月齢にも恵まれて楽しめました。
少し詳しい天文ファンにを満足させるには、もう少し立派な望遠鏡が必要かも。

Honestly, before going, I was worried about altitude sickness and hesitated. But I'm glad I went! They gave me advice on how to prevent altitude sickness (all of which were simple and easy to do), so I was able to participate with peace of mind. They also lend you warm clothing, but the perceived temperature can change depending on whether it's windy or not. Please be especially careful about your feet, as the wind can get in there.

正直、行く前は高山病とか心配して迷っていました。でも、行ってよかったです！高山病対策をアドバイスしてくれたり(どれも簡単で誰でもできることばかりです)で、安心して参加できました。防寒具も上下貸してくれますが、風があるかどうかで体感温度が変わります。特に足元は風が吹き込むので注意してくださいね。

I had only experienced horseback riding about three times at a ranch and had never ridden alone, but it was absolutely no problem. After receiving a brief explanation in English, they selected horses based on each person's body type, height, and skill level, and we started riding without any practice. We waited on the horses until everyone was done riding (laughs).

Once we passed through the mountain path, the ocean spread out before us, and the view was breathtaking! The horses were well-trained, listened to commands, and were adorable. We gave a $10 tip for the two of us! Thank you for a truly valuable and wonderful experience!

乗馬は3回程度牧場で経験したのみで、1人で乗った事もないレベルでしたが、全く問題ありませんでした。
軽く英語で説明を受けた後、1人1人の体型や身長やレベルを見て、馬を選んでいただいて、練習も何もないまま急に乗馬開始で、全員乗り終わるまで乗ったまま待機していました（笑）
山道を抜けると、海が広がり絶景でした！
馬はしつけられていて、言う事も聞いてくれて可愛かったです。
チップは2人で$10渡しました！
本当に貴重で素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました！

I participated with my family, including a middle school student. We were able to fully enjoy the zip line in the great outdoors. As someone in my 40s, I was worried about my stamina, but it turned out to be fine (laughs). There were three instructors, and they were all kind and attentive.

One slight disappointment was that we couldn't eat fruits or anything along the way. I'm not sure if it was out of stock or sold out, as I couldn't understand the reason in English. However, there was a chance to hydrate.

Overall, from the transportation to the reception, everyone was very kind and accommodating. Thank you very much.

中学生を含む家族で参加しました。
大自然の中ジップラインを満喫することができました。40代の私は体力が心配だったのですが大丈夫でした（笑）。インストラクターが3名いらっしゃいましたが皆さん親切かつ丁寧に対応していただきました。
ちょっぴり残念だったのが途中にフルーツ等を食べることができなかったこと。品切れ？売り切れ？英語が分からず理由は不明ですが。でも水分補給はありました。
その他、送迎や受付等も含め全般を通して親切に対応していただきました。
ありがとうございました。

On December 30, we participated as a family of four. Two of us are children aged 9 and 11.
It was almost our first time riding horses, but the horses were well-trained, so we had no worries.
We took a walk in the valley floor of Waipi'o Valley, swaying on the backs of the horses. It was a place filled with rich water and greenery, exuding tranquility.

For your reference:
- We traveled to and from the valley floor by 4WD from the meeting point. This took quite a bit of time. The approximate schedule was: gather at 1:30 PM, move to the valley floor, start horseback riding at 2:15 PM, finish riding at 3:45 PM, and disperse at the meeting point at 4:15 PM.
- We were the only Japanese participants; everyone else was from the mainland United States.
- We planned to rent a car to get to the meeting point, but when we tried to make a reservation at the hotel after arriving on the Big Island, we were told there were no rental cars available until January 3.
We had no choice but to use a round-trip taxi, which cost over $400 from Kailua-Kona. We should have reserved a rental car from Japan.

12月30日に家族4人で参加しました。うち二人は9才、11才の子どもです。
4人ともほぼ初めての乗馬でしたが、馬はよく調教されていて不安なことはありませんでした。
ワイピオ渓谷の谷底を、馬の背に揺られながらの散歩です。豊かな水と緑が印象的な、静謐さをたたえた場所でした。

以下、参考になれば。
・集合場所〜ワイピオ渓谷の谷底を4WDで往復します。これにかなり時間がかかります。
おおよそのタイムスケジュールは、13:30集合で谷底へ移動、14:15から乗馬、15:45乗馬終了、16:15集合場所で解散。
・日本人は私たちだけで、他は全員アメリカ本土からの参加でした。
・私たちはレンタカーを借りて集合場所まで行くつもりでしたが、ハワイ島へ着いてからホテルで予約しようとしたら、1月3日までハワイ島ではレンタカーが1台もないと言われました。
仕方なく往復タクシーを使い、カイルア・コナから400ドル強かかりました。
レンタカーは日本から予約して行くべきでした。

This time, I participated in the buggy ride for two hours. However, we mostly just drove around the ranch. I would have liked to stop a bit more at the movie filming locations for explanations. When I participated in the one-hour buggy ride eight months ago, the guide provided a lot of interesting behind-the-scenes information about the movies, and it was very enjoyable. I wonder if it depends on the guide. Since it was a course that started at 3 PM, perhaps they wanted to finish early. When we returned from the tour, there were hardly any people left, and the food court was closed, with the shops closing before I could even take a look.

今回は、バギー2時間に参加しました。ただ、ほほとんど、牧場内を走るだけでした。もう少し、映画の撮影現場に少し止まって説明が欲しかったです。
８か月前に1時間バギーに参加した時は色々、映画の裏事情の説明もしてくださりとても楽しかったです。担当のガイドさんで変わるのでしょうか？
3時からスタートのコースだったので、早く帰りたかったのでしょうか。
ツアーから帰って来たら、もうほとんど人はいなく、フードコートも閉まっていて、売店も見る間もなく閉まりました。

It was my first experience riding a horse, but they provided clear explanations in English. To the left, there was a beautiful sea and sandy beach, and to the right, I could see mountains and greenery colored orange by the sunset, creating a truly wonderful view. There were also photo spots, and the guide took pictures for us and adjusted the speed, making it completely fine for beginners! It was a relaxing and meaningful time!

乗馬は初めての体験でしたが、しっかり説明(英語)をしてくれました。左を見ると綺麗な海と砂浜があり、右を見ると夕日によってオレンジに色づいた山や緑があり、とても素敵な景色が見れました。フォトスポットもありガイドの方が撮ってくれたり速度も調節してくれたりと乗馬初心者でも全然大丈夫でした！！
心も休まり有意義なひと時でした！！！！

I was worried about the rain in North Shore based on my experience, but the weather was really nice. The lush green scenery was wonderful.

The ziplining was refreshing as it cut through the greenery, and I felt great doing it. I was satisfied with the eight lines.

Not only did I glide through the greenery, but the heights and lengths varied, allowing me to enjoy views of the fields while zipping along, so I never got bored. The suspension bridge and other athletic-like activities were also fun.

I was able to experience things like letting go of the harness, starting backward, and even going upside down, which I definitely wouldn't be allowed to do in Japan.

The staff, who couldn't speak Japanese, did their best to explain things in simple English. I was very satisfied.

One thing I noticed was that tips were required separately, but no one was giving tips. When my husband gave tips to the three staff members accompanying us, they were very surprised. I wonder if very few people, especially Japanese, give tips? If that's the case, it might be better to include tips in the price.

ノースショアは、私の経験では雨が多かったので心配していましたが、とてもいい天気でした。緑いっぱいの景色が素晴らしかったです。
ジップラインは、緑の中を突っ切る感じが爽快で、すごく気持ちよかったです。８本もできて、満足しました。
ただ緑の中を滑走するだけではなく、高さや長さが異なり、滑走しながら畑を眺めたり、飽きることはありませんでした。つり橋などアスレチックスみたいなものも面白かったです。
また、手を離したり、後ろ向きにスタートしたり、逆さになったり、日本では絶対させてくれないようなことが体験できました。
日本語が話せないスタッフばかりでしたが、簡単な英語で一生懸命説明してくれました。
大満足です。
一つ気になったのは、チップが別途必要とのこたでしたが、誰もチップを渡していませんでした。主人が同行のスタッフ3人にチップを渡すととてもビックリしてました。チップを渡す人(特に日本人)はほとんどいないのではないでしょうか？それなら、チップ込みの値段設定にされた方がいいような気がします。

We arrived early by rental car, and the journey was smooth, allowing us to arrive relatively quickly. The check-in process was handled by staff who spoke Japanese and provided thorough explanations. Since we arrived early, I inquired about other activities, but they were fully booked.

After watching the DVD several times, they selected horses based on each person's physique. The horses were well-trained and calm, and my 10-year-old daughter quickly got used to riding. We enjoyed the scenery while being grateful for the patient and strong horses with their big, round eyes. However, since the horses occasionally stumbled, it’s better to use both hands firmly.

Despite the cloudy weather and occasional light rain, there were muddy spots on the path that slowed the horses down, making the ride take over two hours, but it passed in no time and was very enjoyable. We went as a family of five, and I believe this will be a memorable page in our Hawaii experience. I was excited to be in a precious place that was only accessible to royalty, but the occasional sound of helicopters and four-wheeled buggies felt out of place, which was a bit disappointing.

On the way back in the afternoon, you can return via either Kahuku or Haleiwa, so I recommend taking your time and going by rental car.

早めにレンタカーで行きましたが、道中もスムーズで割と早く到着しました。
チェックインも日本語のできるスタッフが丁寧に説明してくれました。
早く到着したので他のアクティビティを聞いたのですが、予約で満杯。

DVDを何度も見たあとに、各々の体格に合わせて馬を選定してくれます。
馬がしっかり調教されていておとなしく、10歳の娘もすぐに慣れました。
つぶらな瞳ながら我慢強く力強い馬たちに感謝しながら景色を堪能しました。
しかし、馬もたまに躓くので、しっかり両手を使っていたほうが良いです。

曇天で時に小雨の降る中で、道がぬかるんでいる場所があり馬の歩みが遅く、
2時間以上かかりましたが、あっという間に過ぎ大変良かったです。
家族5人で行きましたが、ハワイの思い出に残る１ページになると思います。
王族しか入れなかった貴重な場所ということでテンションが上がりましたが
たまにヘリの音と四輪バギーは雰囲気に場違いなようでそこは残念でした。

帰りの午後はカフク、ハレイワ経由でもカイルア経由でも帰れますので、
やはり、時間に余裕をもってレンタカーで行くのがおすすめです。

I wasn't confident in my physical strength and felt anxious even after signing up. However, there were no problems at all. The safety measures were excellent. Moreover, for the vertical rope climb, which I was most worried about, I could ask for help and received assistance. The log crossing, which I had previously fallen from in a Japanese athletic course, was also very safe. Even when it swayed, I was able to cross it with enjoyment. Above all, the zip line in the great outdoors was exhilarating! In the end, I even did a reverse hands-free ride, returning to my childhood and having a blast. I returned home fully satisfied, having enjoyed the sea, greenery, and blue sky.

体力に自信がなくて、申し込んだものの不安でした。しかし、全く問題ありませんでした。安全対策ばっちりでした。さらに一番不安だった、垂直のロープのぼり？も手伝いを頼めば、手伝っていただけます。日本のアスレチックで落ちた経験のある丸太渡り？もとっても安全。揺らされても楽しくわたれました。何よりジップラインは大自然の中、気分爽快！最後には、逆さ手放しまでして童心に返り、思う存分楽しむことができました。海・緑・青い空を満喫して帰ってきました。

Following the last time, I couldn't see the sunset among the clouds again this time. As for the starry sky, thanks to the staff's quick thinking, we were able to observe it a little at Mauna Kea Park, but the surrounding lights were a bit distracting.

前回に続き、今回も雲の中で夕日が見られなかった。星空に関してはスタッフの機転でマウナケアパークで少しだけ観測できましたが、周囲の明かりが気になりました。
