All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

The guide was very kind and attentive. They provided chairs and had a telescope, allowing us to enjoy a wonderful night under a sky full of stars! If we had a bit more time, we could have enjoyed the restroom breaks and the supermarket more! The only reason I didn't rate it as the best was that it was just too cold that day. The next day, I heard the mountains were closed due to snow. In Maui, you can swim at the beach and see snow on the mountains.

ガイドの方が、とても親切で至れり尽くせりでした。椅子も用意していただき、天体観測スコープも有り沢山の星が広がって素敵な夜でした！
途中のトイレ休憩やスーパーももう少し時間があれば楽しめました！最高でしたにしなかったのは余りにもその日が寒すぎたからです。
翌日は雪で山がクローズされたとか。
マウイではビーチで泳ぎ、山には雪が見られます。

It was really fun!!! The tour guides were awesome as well! It was just a bit shorter than I thought originally but still very worth it!!

The moment of flying was very scary, but the instructor was fun and I felt at ease. I participated with my colleagues. It became a lifelong memory. Thank you very much.

飛ぶ瞬間はとても怖かったですが、インストラクターもノリが良くて、安心して食べました。同僚と一緒に参加しました。一生の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

Everything, including the tour, was in English. That was a bit of a downside, but the staff were very considerate, so it wasn't too much of a problem.

Anyway, I had a great time! The weather was nice, and the views were breathtaking; I was truly moved.

During the tour, there was an 85-year-old grandmother and a boy around 10 years old, and both were able to do the zip line, so I realized it's a sport that anyone can enjoy!

ツアーも含めてすべて英語です。それだけがちょっと難点だけど、スタッフの方々もかなり気を使ってくれてそこまで問題なく。
とにかく、とっても楽しかったです！
天気も良くて絶景で、本当に感動しました。
ツアー中に85歳のおばあさんと10歳くらいの少年がいて、どちらもジップライン出来てたので、誰でも楽しめスポーツなんだなと思いました！

I had several concerns about participating in the overseas tour, and this time was no different.
Will the pickup be on time? ← They arrived right on time.
Will the guide speak Japanese? ← The guide was a true Japanese person, haha.
Will I be able to use the restroom? ← There were breaks, and the restroom was relatively close.
Will I be warm enough with the cold-weather gear I brought? ← There were warm clothes and blankets available.
Will I suffer from oxygen deprivation? ← It was fine as we ascended while acclimatizing.
Regarding this tour, there were absolutely no issues.
Our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, was great at conversation and very knowledgeable. He answered questions outside of the tour accurately as well. It rained during the day, but it was clear above the clouds. During the stargazing, the wind was minimal, and we could see a perfect starry sky. We even saw shooting stars! The sushi we had for dinner was delicious, and the warm tea helped to warm us up.
I took various photos, but I believe seeing it with my own eyes is the best part of the tour. If you plan to go, make sure to book early as it fills up quickly.
Lastly, thank you for everything, Mr. Yamauchi! I look forward to seeing you again when I visit Maui! (*^^*) Date of participation: January 2019.

海外のツアーに参加するにあたって心配事はいくつかあります。今回も然り
お迎えはちゃんと来るのか？←時間通りに来てくれました
ガイドは日本語が話せるのか？←生粋の日本人でした笑
トイレは行けるか？←休憩もあるしトイレは比較的近くにありました
持ってきた防寒具で寒くないか？←防寒着も毛布もありました
酸素不足にならないか？←体を慣らしながら上がるので大丈夫でした
このツアーに関して言うと全く問題ありませんでした。
ガイドの山内さんは会話上手で知識豊富。ツアー以外の質問にも的確に答えてくださいます。この日は途中で雨に降られましたが雲の上は晴れていました。星空観測では風の影響も少なく満点の星空を見る事ができました。流れ星も見えましたよ！夕飯に食べたお寿司は美味しく温かいお茶で身体も温まります。
写真は色々撮りましたがやっぱり自分の目で見る事が一番のツアーだと思います。行こうと思ったら早めに予約をしないとすぐ満員になってしまいます。
最後になりますが山内さん色々ありがとうございました！
またマウイ島へ行った時にはよろしくお願いします(*^^*)参加日 2019年1月

Basically, you go down two lines in pairs in order. With three guides, you walk and ski in a group of about ten people, repeating this several times. You can either leave your belongings in a paid locker at the entrance or use a free locker at the starting point where the bus takes you, and just carry your camera or phone onto the line. You can't bring drinks, but there are about two places along the way where you can drink water.

At first, you start with shorter runs for practice, gradually moving to longer ones and even skiing backward, allowing for various enjoyable experiences. Each line has a name derived from trees, and the related explanations are interesting (in English). Before skiing, you will be asked various questions, which I’ll list for reference:
- The names of two people
- Favorite drink
- Something to bet on if you win a game in pairs

Around the sixth line, after being asked about allergies, there is a section where each person holds one nut while skiing. There is a bucket placed in the middle of the line, and the game involves throwing the nuts into the bucket while skiing.

Also, since we went directly to the site without transportation, I initially didn’t understand the overall system of Kualoa Ranch very well. Basically, it goes like this:

- Check in at the main reception
Show your voucher and exchange it for activity tickets
- Arrive at the meeting place for each activity about 15 minutes before the start time and wait to be called by the staff
- When the time comes, follow the guide's instructions and move with the group

We had a reservation for a 12:00 start and checked in at 11:30, but since we arrived just in time, I called to confirm. The staff said that if we didn’t arrive by 11:30 to 11:35, it would be considered a cancellation. However, we arrived around 11:30, waited in line at the check-in counter, and checked in at 11:40, which was fine. However, it seemed that the 12:00 session was already closed, so we participated in the 12:30 session instead. Initially, I panicked when I didn’t see our names for the 12:00 session, but I was told that as long as you check in and get the activity ticket, you can definitely participate. Just keep in mind that if you arrive last minute, you might be moved to the next session.

基本的に、2本のラインをペアで順番に下りる流れです。
3名のガイドと共に、10名前後のグループで少し歩いて滑る、を何度かくりかえします。
荷物は、入り口の有料ロッカーに預けるか、バスで向かうスタート地点にも荷物入れの無料ロッカーに入れて、カメラやケータイのみ身につけてラインに乗ります。
飲み物は持てませんが、途中2箇所くらい水が飲める場所があります。

最初は練習を兼ねて短いものから、徐々に長いもの、後ろ向きで下りるものなど、それぞれ違った楽しみかたができます。各ラインには木々に由来した名前が付けられており、関連する説明も興味深いです。(英語ですが)
途中滑る前に色々聞かれるので、参考までに列挙すると
・二人の名前
・好きな飲み物
・ペアでゲーム※に勝ったら奢るもの(賭けるもの)

※6本目くらいで、アレルギーがないか聞かれた後、ナッツの実を１人１個手に持って滑る箇所があります。
ラインの中央付近にバケツが置いてあって、滑りながらバケツめがけてナッツを投げ入れるゲームです。

あと、送迎なしで直接現地に向かったので、クアロア牧場全体の全体的なシステムが最初良くわかりませんでした。基本的には、

・総合受付でチェックイン
バウチャーを見せて、アクティビティのチケットと交換してもらう
・開始時刻の15分くらい前までに、各アクティビティの集合場所にいって、係りの人に呼ばれるのを待つ
・時間になったらガイドの指示にしたがって、グループで移動

我々は12時スタートを予約してチェックインが11:30だったのですが、到着時間がギリギリだったので電話で確認しました。案内の人は11:30～11:35までに来ないとキャンセル扱いだと言っていましたが、実際11:30位に到着して、チェックインカウンターの行列に並んで、受付したのが11:40でしたが大丈夫でした。
ただ、12時の回はすでに締め切られていたのか、12:30の回の方での参加になりました。
当初12時の回に名前がなくて焦って確認しましたが、チェックイン済ませてアクティビティチケットさえゲットすれは確実に体験はできるとのことでした。ただスタート時間は、ギリギリに行くと次の回に回るようです。

Unfortunately, we couldn't reach the summit due to an unexpected wildfire...

However, our guide Ishikawa-san worked hard to find a spot where we could see the stars, and I was really grateful for that!

If I have the chance, I definitely want to go to the summit next time!

まさかの山火事で山頂にあがれませんでした…

でもガイドのイシカワさんが一生懸命に星の見えるところとか探してくれてありがたかったです！

もし機会があったら次こそは山頂に行きたいです！

We enjoyed it a lot. We wish we had gone earlier in our trip so we would’ve had the opportunity to build other activities around what we saw on this trip. James runs this business on his own and he does a lot of research and individualizes each trip to the current conditions of the atmosphere and weather. The photos he took of us were amazing. I could see couples booking this for engagement, honeymoon or anniversary photos. The star gazing was the highlight. We see stars from our house very well but it doesn’t even compare to the clarity of the sky at that altitude. I would definitely recommend this excursion.

I was initially anxious about going to a mountain higher than Mount Fuji, but gradually acclimating my body and the fun guidance from Shin made it possible for me to reach the summit safely. At the top, I experienced the sun sinking into the clouds, the gradient after sunset, and a series of first-time experiences. After the sunset, we went stargazing at a location chosen based on the outside temperature and the night sky conditions. The moment I got out of the van, countless stars welcomed me. It was completely different from any night sky I had seen before. It was extremely cold, but the experience was so incredible that I forgot about the chill. Additionally, the photos taken by the guides are available for free download, which is great for capturing those challenging night sky shots. The miso soup in the bento was absolutely delicious!

富士山よりも高い山に行くことがまず不安でしたが、徐々に身体を慣らしていく行程、ガイドのＳｈｉｎさんの楽しいガイドもあって無事に山頂まで行くことができました。山頂では雲に沈む太陽、太陽が沈んだ後のグラデーションと初体験の連続。サンセットの後は外気温とその日の夜空の状況を考慮した星空観測場所での星空観測。バンから降りた瞬間、無数の星たちがお出迎え。今まで見てきた夜空とは全くの別物でした。とーっても寒かったけど、そんな寒さも忘れられるくらいの体験ができました。また、ガイドのみなさんが撮影してくれた写真も無料でダウンロードできるので難しい星空写真も手に入るのもいいですね。お弁当のお味噌汁は最高におしかったです！

I was worried about various things like whether it would be hard to breathe, if it was too cold, and if I would feel sick from altitude sickness. I also wondered about the restroom situation, but everything was totally fine. The driver skillfully explained the precautions, and there was a restroom at the summit. It seems that the Milky Way is hard to see in winter, so I couldn't see it as much as I had hoped, but the starry sky was absolutely stunning. I was moved to see artificial satellites.

息苦しくないか？寒すぎるのではないか？高山病で気分が悪くならないか？
トイレはどうする？など色々心配しながら参加しましたが、全然大丈夫でした。ドライバーが上手に注意事項を教えてくれますし、山頂にトイレもありました。冬は天の川が見えにくいらしくて、期待していたほど天の川は観れませんでしたが、満天の星空でした。人工衛星が観れたのは感動でした。

I participated with my wife. It was a tour that we joined with high hopes for the magnificent panorama of Maui and the starry sky, but unfortunately, it rained heavily. We had a faint hope that the weather might change at the summit, but the rain continued, and we decided to head back. However, thanks to the warm hospitality of our guide, we were invited to a popular local Italian restaurant, and the authentic wood-fired pizza was truly delicious.

Additionally, the guide's stories were very enjoyable and educational, which captivated us. Although we didn't get to see the starry sky as we had hoped, this tour, which could have been just a disappointing memory, turned into a very memorable and enjoyable experience thanks to the guide's entertaining stories and kindness. I would like to join the starry sky tour again next time for a chance at redemption. Thank you very much for the wonderful memories.

私は家内と二人で参加しました。
マウイの壮大なパノラマと満点の星空に期待を膨らませて参加したツアーでしたが、残念なら土砂降りの雨、山頂に行けば天気も変わるのではとの淡い期待も虚しく変わらずの雨、諦めて帰路に着きましたが、ガイドさんの暖かなお心遣いにより地元で人気のイタリアンレストランに招待して頂きました、直火窯焼きの本格的ピザは本当に美味しかったです。
また、ガイドさんのお話しがとても楽しくまた勉強にもなる内容でしたのでついつい惹きつけられてしまいました、目的であった満点の星空には出会う事が出来ず本来なら単なる残念な思い出になっていた今回のツアーですが、ガイドの楽しいお話やお心遣いで大変印象深い楽しい思い出となりました。次回またガイドの下満点の星空ツアーにリベンジ参加したいと思っております。楽しい思い出を本当にありがとうございました。

My reservation in Japan was canceled due to bad weather, but I changed my mood and rebooked. The weather is improving, and I'm fully enjoying it and grateful to God.

日本での予約が天候不良でキャンセルになったもの、気分を変えて予約入れ直して再度出来ました。天気も回復するし、充分に満喫し神に感謝です( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Let me start off by saying I had a pretty low expectation for the meals when I saw they were included. The food was really great—chef made lunch and delicious beef ribs at dinner. I’m still dreaming about them. That alone provides so much value for the price.

Now, onto the tour—Keith was an amazing tour guide! He started off by learning and continually speaking to each of us individually by name. He had the greatest stories at AND between each tour stop. We really enjoyed the tour from start to finish and almost forgot how long of a day it was! And for the stargazing, we lucked out with a beautiful clear sky and Keith was knowledgeable about not only the stars we were seeing, but so much beyond that!

It was raining from the start, but my excitement grew as I felt the tropical rainforest and the waterfall's water volume was amazing. Thank you, Jodi, our guide! I want to make this a tradition in Hawaii! It's definitely worth participating in.

スタートから雨でしたがテンションが上がり熱帯雨林を肌で感じ滝の水量も最高でした
ガイドのジョディさんありがとうHawaiiでの恒例にしたいほどで❗絶対参加する価値ありです

I participated with some skepticism, but the thrill of skydiving has become addictive! It was quite crazy.

The local Japanese or Japanese-descendant coordinator explained the tour details during the trip to and from the location, and that was also crazy, which made it fun!

Especially the coordinator's craziness might be a problem if it were in Japan, but I think it's part of the joy of traveling, and the fun feeling outweighs any concerns, so I don't mind at all! (laughs)

If you have a mindset ready to take on challenges and stay excited, I definitely want to do it again!!

Lastly, for those who get car sick, it's best to take motion sickness medication beforehand!!! (laughs)

Everyone around me was throwing up! It was the best!!!

半信半疑で参加しましたが
スカイダイビングの楽しさは
やみつきになりました！
なかなかクレイジーです。

行き帰りとツアー内容を
現地日本人？日系コーディネーター
の方に説明していただきましたが
これまたクレイジーなので
それも含め楽しかったです！

特にコーディネーターの方の
クレイジー感は日本でしていたら
なかなか問題ありかもしれませんが
旅の醍醐味と思うのと
楽しい気持ちが勝っているなので
なんとも思いません！笑

是非ともチャレンジする気持ちを
持って常にワクワクしていたら
またやりたいと思います！！

最後に車酔いなどする方は
酔い止めは全体に飲んで
おいた方がいいです！！！笑

僕の周りは皆んな吐いてました！
最高です！！！

We participated as a couple, and there was a test drive at the beginning. My husband had no issues with the buggy, but I dropped out! I ended up in the staff's Jeep, which turned out to be great. I was able to enjoy the magnificent scenery. During the two-hour drive, we got to see various filming locations from movies and TV dramas, and the staff were cheerful, creating a very enjoyable atmosphere.

The scenery is just amazing. Many of the staff were very kind. There are other activities as well, so it's definitely a place I want to visit again.

夫婦で参加、はじめにテスト走行あり、主人は問題なくバギーで、私は脱落！先導スタッフのジープへ。でもスタッフのジープで良かったです。壮大な景色を堪能することができました。2時間の走行で映画やTVドラマの撮影場所などところどころを見学、スタッフも陽気な方でとても楽しい雰囲気でした。
とにかく景色が最高です。スタッフも優しい方が多かったです。
他にもアクティビティがあるのでぜひまた訪れたい場所です。

I was able to go to Mauna Kea at the best timing right after the new moon. I felt nature with my whole body, absorbed its power, and it became a wonderful start to 2019. The talk by our guide Matsuzaki, which added a special touch to the memories, was also fantastic. The tour was very well organized, with miso soup included with the bento and a jacket provided... I highly recommend it.

新月すぐ後のベストなタイミングで、マウナケアに行くことができました。自然を全身で感じ、パワーを吸収でき、素晴らしい2019年の幕開けになりました。
思い出に一花を添えるガイド松崎さんのトークも最高でした。お弁当に添えられたお味噌汁に、ジャケットに…と、至れり尽くせりのツアー、オススメです。

We saw some beautiful scenery! Breathtaking views for sure! We had a great time for sure!

This is a must do tour when in Kauai! Cinzia and Rich were the best tour guides also. We laughed, qe saw wonderful scenery, enjoyed the caves and had a blast in the tubes!

I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first visit to Manoa Falls!!! Our guide, Shanti, was very kind and attentive, making the tour enjoyable. They also prepared bug spray and water, which made me feel at ease. There were some tricky spots to walk on, but my 70-year-old father, who doesn't usually exercise, managed to walk through. I was able to fully experience the nature of Hawaii, which I don't usually get to enjoy, and it was a great way to recharge!

ハワイへは何度も行ってますが、マノアの滝はじめて行くことができました！！！
ガイドのシャンティはとても親切丁寧で、楽しくガイドしてくれました。
虫除けやお水なども準備してくれており、安心でした。
足元が悪いところもありますが、普段あまり運動しない70歳の父もなんとか歩けてました
普段、味わうことのできないハワイの自然を全身で感じることが出来、パワーチャージできました！

Horseback riding was fun, but I didn't have much time to enjoy anything else.

I wish there were a tour focused solely on horseback riding.

Above all, the guide was quite disappointing.
(The reviews posted are not reliable.)

I don't think I will sign up for this tour again.

乗馬は楽しかったですが、その他は時間が少ししかないのであまり楽しめませんでした。

乗馬のみのツアーもあればいいのにと思いました。

何よりガイドさんが微妙すぎました。
(投稿されているレビューは当てにならないです)

このツアーにはもう申し込むことは無いと思います。

It was my first time skydiving. I participated alone and was a bit anxious since I don't speak English, but there were no problems at all. It was the best experience. It's a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

人生初めてのスカイダイビング。一人での参加で英語もできないので少し不安でしたが、まったく問題なし。最高の体験ができました。
酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいいです。

I participated with two friends! When we arrived at Keana Farm, the receptionist first asked for our names and confirmed if we had a reservation. After that, we checked in on an iPad. We stored our valuables in lockers, and any larger bags or hoodies that wouldn’t fit in the lockers were left with the receptionist.

On the second or third zip line, I was told to grab the reddish rope at the landing point, but I couldn't grip it well and ended up reversing, so the instructor had to rescue me. I felt really sorry and apologized, but the instructor was very kind and said it was okay in English. More than anything, it was cool to see them helping me (laughs). Although I couldn't communicate in Japanese, they taught me with gestures. I love thrill rides, so I really enjoyed the zip line!! I want to do it again. The four instructors who accompanied us were all friendly, which was great.

友達2人で参加しました！ケアナファームに着いたらまず受付の人に名前を聞かれ、予約の名前があるかを確認された後、iPadでチェックインをします。その後は貴重品はロッカーに預け、ロッカーに入らない大きめのバックやパーカーは受付の人に預けました。

2個目か3個目のジップラインでゴール地点に赤っぽいロープがあるからそれを握るようにって言われてたのにうまく握れずそのままリバースしてしまいインストラクターの方に救出してもらいました。かなり申し訳なくて謝ったらインストラクターさんすごく優しくて、英語で大丈夫ですよって言ってくれました。それと何より助けてくれてる姿がかっこよかったです（笑）日本語は通じないですが、身振り手振りで教えてくれます。私は絶叫系大好きなのでジップラインすごく楽しめました！！またしたいです。私達についてくれた4人のインストラクターさんも気さくな方ばかりで良かったです。

I had a reservation for 11:15, but we had to gather at 7:15! When we arrived, we ended up waiting for two and a half hours. The course was supposed to be two hours through the mountains and the sea, but we just walked slowly in a single line on horseback. The people in front seemed to be beginners, so we hardly moved, and they suddenly stopped, which made it difficult for those of us behind. I didn't enjoy the horseback riding much, but the scenery was amazing.

11:15の予約ですが、7時15分に集合！着いたら2時間半待ちになっていました。
そして、2時間山と海のコースですけど、ただ馬に乗ってゆっくりゆっくり1列で進むだけでした。前の方は初心者みたいで、全然進まなかったし、急に止まりし、後ろについてのは大変でした。
乗馬にかんしてはあまりに楽しめなかったでしたが、景色は最高でした。

There is a Japanese grandfather, so it's basically okay even if you don't understand English. All the instructors are very kind, so you can feel at ease.

You can add options like video recording for an additional fee, but there are about three types, and the details are all in English, which can be difficult to understand, so just be careful about that.

I recommend it because the scenery is overwhelmingly beautiful compared to skydiving in Japan.

日本人のおじいさんがいるので英語がわからなくても基本的には大丈夫です。
インストラクターのみんなも非常に優しい人ばかりなので安心です。

別料金で映像撮影などのオプションを付けることも出来ますが、３種類ほどありその詳細が全部英文で分かりづらいのでそこだけは注意です。

日本でスカイダイビングするよりも圧倒的に景色が綺麗なのでオススメです。

First of all, the driver was interesting and engaged us, which made for a fun time!
During the ride there, I kept signing my initials on a waiver? (Since we were crammed in the car, some people might get motion sickness looking down.)
After arriving, we waited for our briefing before flying.
That wait was long... haha.
We waited for a solid three hours... haha.
When called, we got ready! After that, it went by in a flash.
I purchased both photos and videos (I definitely recommend getting both).
I didn't have enough cash for tips and the locker fee, so I used the ATM inside the building to withdraw cash.
I think preparing about $20 for the driver, $20 for the instructor, $20 for the photographer, and $1 for the locker should be sufficient. However, since the wait time is long, you might want to grab some drinks, so it would be better to prepare a little more. It was a really great experience!
Thank you very much!!

まず運転手の方がおもしろくて声を掛けて下さり楽しい時間を過ごせました！
行きの車の中では誓約書？にイニシャルでひたすらサイン。(車の中ぎゅうぎゅうに座って下見るので酔う人いるかも)
ついてから説明をうけ飛ぶまで待機。
それが長い…笑
3時間ただひたすら待ってました…笑
呼ばれた順に準備！そのあとはあっという間。
写真と動画どちらも購入しました(絶対どっちも購入がオススメです)
チップやロッカーのお金分手持ちのドルが足りず、建物の中にあるATMでキャッシングしました。
ドライバーさんに20ドル、インストラクターさんに20ドル、カメラマンさんに20ドル、ロッカー分1ドル大体このくらい準備すれば足りると思います。ただ待ち時間が長い分飲み物を飲んだりすると思います。その場合もう少し準備して行った方がいいと思います。とてもいい経験が出来ました！
ありがとうございました！！

It was great to have a Japanese guide and driver, so I felt comfortable asking questions.

Also, the guide was very strict about time, so please make sure to stick to the meeting times! It was reassuring that they taught us how to handle the horses in the car before the riding experience.

The horseback riding itself was wonderful; the horses were cute and seemed well-trained! The scenery was beautiful, and I was very satisfied to be able to ride while enjoying the view of the sea. Some horses even tried to eat grass, but that added to the fun, and I enjoyed chatting with other tour participants.

On the way back, we took a different route, which allowed us to enjoy the scenery from the car.

One downside was that the time for sightseeing in Haleiwa was very short, so I would have liked at least an extra 30 minutes.

日本人ガイド兼運転手さんなので、安心して気軽に質問できてよかったです。

また、時間にとてもシビアなガイドさんでしたので、必ず集合時間を守るようにしてください！乗馬体験前に車内で馬の扱い方を教えてくださったのも安心できました。

乗馬自体は馬が可愛くて、ちゃんと調教されているなぁという印象を受けました！景色もきれいでゆっくり海を見ながら乗馬できて大満足です。中には草を食べてしまう馬もいたりしたけど、それもそれで楽しみながら他のツアー客の方とも仲良くお話できて楽しかったです。

帰りのルートは行きとは異なるルートを選択して帰っていただき、車内から見える景色も楽しみながら移動ができました。

残念な点は、ハレイワ観光の時間がとても短かかったのでせめてプラス30分は長く時間をとっていただきたかったです。

James was a very knowledgeable and chill guide. He also takes amazing pictures! This is a really unique tour that you can't find elsewhere. Definitely recommend for those who visit the big island.

We participated as a group of five adults, and it was incredibly fun. Initially, we booked a package that included transportation, but on the way back, we wanted to eat Kahuku shrimp, so we changed to meet on-site and went by rental car. The facility felt new.

The weather was a mix of sunny, cloudy, and occasionally drizzling rain. Since we were dressed lightly, I thought it felt cold even with a little rain, but they provided disposable ponchos. Wonderful service! However, it got hot once I put it on. When the rain stopped, I thought, "Well, I don't mind getting wet," and returned it.

Our group consisted of 11 people (four adults and two children from the mainland U.S. joined us), and we had three guides. They were very attentive to safety and constantly checked on us, which made us feel secure. As mentioned in the reviews, Japanese wasn’t understood, but they made an effort to engage us with encouragement, funny faces at times, pointing during important moments, and repeated explanations (in English), so we generally understood. After explanations, they would demonstrate with "like this?" and if it was okay, they would say "ok!" or if it was slightly off, they would use their bodies to explain, which reassured me. I have a fear of heights, but I felt completely fine. Perhaps it was because I felt safe.

Along the way, we could freely take water, mini tomatoes, and macadamia nuts at certain points. However, there wasn’t much time to relax, so we quickly drank and ate before moving on. There were other groups before and after us, so we progressed at a good pace. It seemed there were only two other Japanese people in the group behind us. It was quite pricey, but it was worth it. Even at 71 years old, I managed just fine. I brought my smartphone in a waist pouch. I also had a strap to hang around my neck, but they advised me that the waist pouch was better (in English). We could take photos at key points, and they took pictures for us, which made for great memories.

I have sensitive hands, so I bought floral gardening gloves at a 100 yen shop. They didn’t look great in photos, but I thought it would help with the strain on my hands when holding the rope while climbing. No one else was wearing gloves, but I was glad I used them to prevent hand irritation.

大人5人で参加、最高に楽しかったです。
最初は送迎付きを申し込みましたが、帰り道でカフクエビを食べたくて、変更して現地集合にして、レンタカーで行きました。施設は新しい感じでした。

天候は晴れだったり、曇りだったり、時々雨がぱらついたりでした。
薄着ですから、雨がパラパラでも寒く感じるなーと思ってると、使い捨てポンチョをくれました。すばらしい対応！でも着ると暑い＾＾；すぐに止む→ま、濡れてもいいやと返しました。

私たちグループは11人（私たち以外に、アメリカ本土からの大人4人と子供2人）ガイドは3人がついてくれました。とても安全に気を配ってて常に確認されてたので安心できました。口コミ通り日本語は通じなかったですが、楽しませようと声掛けや、時に変顔、大事な場面では指さし、何度も説明（英語ですが＾＾；）などで、だいたい分かりました。説明の後、「こんなふう？」みたいにやってみせると、ok！だとか、ちょっと違うなというときには体を使って説明してくれるので大丈夫とおもいました。高所恐怖症の私ですが全然大丈夫でした。安全と思えたからでしょうか。

途中、ポイントで、水や、ミニトマト、マカダミアナッツが自由に摂れます。でもゆっくりくつろいでる時間はないので、さっさと飲んだり食べたりして次に進む感じです。前後のグループもいるので程よくドンドン進みます。
日本人は私たち以外には、後ろのグループに2人いたようです。
けっこうお高めですが、それだけの価値はあります。71才でも全然平気。スマホはウエストポーチに入れて持っていきました。首からかけるストラップも持ってましたが、ウエストポーチのほうが良いと言われました（英語で＾＾；）要所要所で撮影できるし、撮ってくれるので記念になりました。

手荒れの私、100均で花柄の園芸手袋買っていきました。写真写りはかっこわるいけど、ロープを持って上に上の時に、手に負担があると思ったからです。手袋してる方はいませんでしたが、手荒れ予防に使ってよかったです。

The horses were smart and we were able to ride leisurely through the forest. There were many clouds in the Kualoa area, and it rained along the way... It might be a good idea to prepare a light raincoat or something similar if possible.

馬もお利口でのんびりと林の中を乗馬出来ました。クアロア方面は雲も多く途中雨が降りました…出来れば薄手のカッパ等準備されると良いかも
