All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I participated in a plan that included transportation. The pickup was about 20 minutes late. After we got on, there were more pickups, but there was no place to stop, so we kept going around the same area, which I think caused the delay.

They come with a smaller microbus, which has a flashy zipline photo printed on it, making it easy to recognize. The ride lasts about an hour and a half.

Due to the influence of television, despite the reviews saying there are hardly any Japanese people, we went as a party of eight, consisting of four Japanese groups. There were three instructors, and everything was in English. However, we could communicate through gestures.

There are points along the way to hydrate and get snacks like tomatoes and bananas.

We took a buggy up to the summit and then zipped down, so the view was amazing! The distance is long, so I think there's a sense of satisfaction from each run. However, I got a little bored halfway through (sweat).

We started at 11:00 and finished at 13:00, but the driver asked if we were hungry and stopped at a nearby 7-Eleven.

I gave each instructor a tip of $10. I don't think two groups tipped. I didn't tip the driver.

The instructors took photos at key points with their smartphones and later emailed them to us, offering to sell the data. It was $45 for 16 shots. Of course, we could check them before purchasing, and just seeing them was enough for me.

送迎ありのプランで参加しました。
ピックアップの時間は20分くらい遅れてきました。私たちが乗った後もピックアップがあったのですが、止める場所がなくグルグル同じ場所を回ってたのでその辺りが遅れた原因かと思います。
小さめのマイクロバスで来るのですが、ジップライン写真がプリントされていて派手なので分かりやすいと思います。
乗っている時間は1時間半くらいかな。

テレビの影響か、口コミはほとんど日本人がいないという割りに日本人4組の8人パーティで行いました。
インストラクターさんは3人で、全て英語です。でも、身ぶり手振りで意思疏通はできます。
途中で水分補給やトマト、バナナなど補給できるポイントがあります。

バギーで山頂?まで登って、そこからジップラインで下ってくるので景色は最高です!
距離は長いので1本の満足感はあると思います。でも、私は途中でちょっと飽きちゃいました(汗)

11時スタート、13時アップだったのですが帰りのドライバーさんがお腹減ったか聞いてくれて、途中にあるセブンイレブンに寄ってくれました。

チップはインストラクターにそれぞれ10＄ずつ渡しました。2組は渡してなかったと思います。ドライバーさんには渡していません。

インストラクターが要所要所でスマホで写真を撮ってくれていたにですが、後日メールで送ってきてくれて、データを販売してくれます。16カットで45＄でした。購入する前にもちろん確認出来るので、それを見るだけでも私は十分でした。

The guide maintained just the right distance. I enjoyed listening to the stories in the car. They even asked if we wanted to take photos. Our pickup time was 1:30 PM, and it took quite a while until the last participant was picked up, but we had time for restroom breaks at each hotel and to look around the hotels, which was nice. It felt like we were driving around the Big Island, and that was enjoyable too. I was worried about altitude sickness since it was my first time climbing a high mountain, but I followed the guide's instructions and made it back safely. The sunset was cloudy, so we couldn't see a beautiful sunset, but the light from the sun and the clouds created a magical landscape. I was so happy and moved to be here. The starry sky was not visible at the summit due to clouds, so we saw it a little lower down the mountain. It was incredibly beautiful and clear, as if the clouds had never been there. The number of stars was amazing! We could see the Milky Way clearly! I was so moved. We even took photos with the Milky Way in the background, and I truly felt it was worth coming here. 😊

ガイドの方は丁度いい距離感でした。車内のお話も聞いていて楽しかったです。写真撮りますか？と自らお声掛けして下さいます。私達のピックアップの時間が1時30分で最後の参加者の方のピックアップまで結構かかりましたが、ホテルごとにトイレ休憩やホテル内を見れる時間があったのと、ハワイ島をドライブしているようでそれも楽しかったです。初めて高い山に登ったので高山病が心配でしたがガイドさんの指示に従って無事帰ってこれました。サンセットは雲があり綺麗な夕陽は見れませんでしたが、太陽の光と雲で幻想的な風景が見れました。ここに来れたことが嬉しくて感動しました。星空は山頂の方は雲で見えませんでしたので少し山を下ったところで見ました。先程まで雲に覆われていたのが嘘のように綺麗で澄んだ星空が見えました。星の数がすごい！天の川も普通に見える！感動しました。天の川を背景に写真も撮っていただき、本当に来て良かったと思いました(^^)

I'm a 25-year-old woman. This time, I traveled with a female colleague. I made a reservation for horseback riding because the reviews were good. I regret not booking an early reservation for a tour that included movie locations and a buggy ride, as it would have been even more fun. I was hoping for good weather, but in the end, I didn't make a reservation until the day before. Since it was last minute, there were only spots available for the 2-hour horseback riding course. However, I didn't hesitate to book because of the positive reviews.

The bus ride was smooth, and we arrived at the location. The atmosphere at Kualoa was great, and it really lifted my spirits. Since it's a ranch, it does have a smell. There were a lot of horses, and the constant urination and defecation were shocking and made me laugh. However, I am quite sensitive to smells, so it was pretty tough for me.

Also, regarding the helmets that everyone mentioned, they were quite bad. They smelled, were wet, and felt uncomfortable. As for the horseback riding itself, there were moments when I got a bit bored, but overall, I thought it was good. However, I don't think I'll ride again (laughs).

25歳女です。
今回は会社の同僚と女2人旅でした。
乗馬の口コミが良かったので、予約しました。
早期予約をして、映画ロケ地やバギーがついたツアーにしていれば更に楽しかったと後悔。
天気がどうせなら良い日に〜なんて思ってたら結局予約することなく、、、前日に予約しました。
やはり、前日ということもあり空きもなかったのか乗馬2時間コースのみでした。
ただ、口コミが良かったので予約することに躊躇はありませんでした。
バスはスムーズに乗れ、現地に行けました。
クアロアの雰囲気も良くテンション上がりました。
牧場なので臭います。馬がたくさんいて放尿・脱糞だらけなので衝撃続きで笑えました。
ただ私は臭いにかなり敏感で結構辛かったです。
あと、皆さんが書かれてたヘルメットについてですが、、かなりやばいです。臭いし濡れてるし気持ち悪かったです。
乗馬自体は、少し飽きたりする部分もありましたが良かったと思います。
ただ、もう乗らないとは思いますが(笑)

First time and it was great fun.... step off the tower and away you go... I would do it again.... and again....

I struggled to choose from several shops, but I'm glad I did.

There are Japanese-speaking staff available (it seems they have shifts), providing services that help ensure a sense of security as much as possible.

As long as the weather is good, I was able to finish my activities by around noon if I started early in the morning, from the pickup to returning to the hotel.

I ended up purchasing a video that I thought I might not need. I haven't had the chance yet, but I would like to try it again.

いくつかのショップから悩みに悩んで選びましたが良かったです。

日本語の地上スタッフがおられ（シフトはあるようですが）可能な限り安心してもらえるようなサービスをされています。

天気さえ良ければ迎えからホテル帰着まで、朝一ならお昼くらいに終われました。

要らないかなと思っていたビデオも購入しました。なかなかタイミングがないですが、またやってみたいです。

I had experience with a mid-sized motorcycle, and I was worried about the heavy handlebars, but it was fine! The roads are unpaved in nature, so my face got covered in dust from the dirt (^_^;) If you want to avoid that, it might be a good idea to bring something to cover your face, like a bandana or mask.

Riding through the magnificent scenery was the best and felt amazing!

中型バイク経験があったけど
ハンドルが重くて、どうなることかと思ったけど、大丈夫でした！
自然の中の道なので舗装されてないし、土ぼこりで顔がホコリまみれ(^_^;)
そうなりたくない方は、バンダナやマスクなど顔を覆う物持参した方がいいかも

雄大な景色の中を走れて最高気持ち良かったです！

During my first trip to Hawaii, I wanted to fulfill my wife's wish to participate in an activity that was introduced on a certain TV program, which was both shocking and exciting! I personally am not very good with heights, and I usually can't handle fast rides or anything that involves falling, so I had some anxiety. However, the staff were friendly and took safety seriously, which allowed me to trust them.

Taking that first step to jump was scary, but the speed wasn't too intense, and once I got to see the breathtaking views, I felt completely fine! Since the staff communicated entirely in English, it was a bit challenging for us to understand with our limited English skills, but it was very reassuring that some Japanese participants in our team provided additional explanations.

I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

初めてのハワイ旅行にて、某テレビ番組でも紹介されて衝撃的かつ刺激的だったので是非とも参加したいという妻の希望に応えたく参加させていただきました！
僕自身高所もあまり得意ではなく、速いだの落ちるだの絶叫系はもっぱらダメなので不安もありましたが、スタッフの方々が気さくな感じと、安全性にもしっかり配慮されていたので身を任す事が出来ました。
飛び出す一歩は怖いけど、スピードもそれほどキツくなく、絶景を見れたらそんなことは全然大丈夫でした！
スタッフの方々がすべて英語での対応だったため、僕らの英語力では理解が難しかったですが、同じチームに日本の方々が説明を加えていただけたのもとても心強かったです。
機会があればまた参加したいですね！

私の3歳の子供と私にとって素晴らしい体験でした。39分間でしたが、友好的な馬たちと美しい農場を回ることができました。スタッフもとても親切で、貴重な瞬間を楽しむことができました。家族と一緒に子供たちを再び連れて行きたいと思います。彼らの素晴らしいおもてなしに感謝します。

It was great experience for my 3 years old kid and myself. It was just 39 min, but we could ride around beautiful farm with fiendly horses.
Staff was quite nice and we could enjoy the prescious moment. I will take my kids back again with family.
Appreciate their great hospitality.

A landslide occurred a few days before our participation, which resulted in the trekking route to Manoa Falls being closed, so we ended up trekking at the nearby Lyon Arboretum.

As it is a botanical garden, the paths were well-maintained and easy to walk on. We arrived at the waterfall in about 40 minutes while listening to our guide share stories about Hawaii's history. Although it wasn't a large waterfall, we were lucky that the rain from the previous day had increased the water flow a bit.

There were many plants I had never seen before, and I stopped to take photos... during which I got bitten by mosquitoes. Even with insect repellent spray, it seems like it's better not to stay still.

After trekking, we drove to Kaimana Farm Cafe for lunch. The portion sizes were just right, and the food was very delicious.

参加の数日前に地滑りが発生してマノア滝がへのトレッキングルートが閉鎖されてしまったため、すぐお隣の Lyon Arboretum のトレッキングとなりました。
植物園ということだけあって、道はよく整備されていて、歩きやすかったです。
ガイドさんからハワイの歴史も聞きながら40分くらいで滝に到着。大きな滝ではないのですが、前日の雨でちょっとばかり水量が増えていたのでラッキーでした。
見たことのない植物ばかりで足を止めては写真を撮り・・・その間に蚊に刺されました。虫除けスプレーはかけても刺されるようなので、じっとしない方が良さそうです。
トレッキングの後は車で移動してカイマナ・ファーム・カフェでランチ。量もちょうどよく、とても美味しかったです。

It was my first time in Waipi'o Valley, and it was also my first time horseback riding. The guide spoke only in English, but they used simple language, so I had a great time. I was able to slowly enjoy the valley's scenery from horseback, which is something you can't experience at hotels or beaches. It was so much fun!

ワイピオ渓谷も初めてなら、乗馬も初めてでした。
英語のみのガイドでしたが、簡単な英語を使ってくれたので、楽しく過ごせました。
ホテルやビーチでは体験できない渓谷の景観を、馬上からゆっくり楽しめました。
楽しかったです！

Whether you can see it or not all depends on luck. This time, fortunately, there were some clouds, but I was able to fully enjoy the sunset.

見られるか見られないか、すべては運によりますね。
今回は幸い多少の雲はありましたが、サンセットを満喫できました。

Finally, after watching the DVD, it was time to start horseback riding. It was very quick from putting on the helmet to the start of the tour, but strangely, I didn't feel scared at all. The ocean and mountains provided the best locations for photos! As expected from Kualoa Ranch! It was a bit cute to see the horse eating grass along the way and getting scolded by the guide.

This was my first time riding, and I went straight into a two-hour course, but since the horse walked slowly, my backside didn't hurt too much, and it didn't bother me the next day. The scenery was truly breathtaking. Surrounded by green mountains and feeling the wind from a high position was very pleasant, and the horse was well-behaved, so I felt safe riding.

Even as a beginner, I felt the horse was well-trained and smart because it responded quickly when I pulled on the reins. However, there were six of us on the tour, and the guide mostly talked to the experienced English-speaking rider at the back for most of the time. Since I chose horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, I wanted everyone to learn about its history and qualities together.

My English isn't that great, but I can speak simple phrases, so I wish I could have enjoyed both riding and conversation a bit more during this wonderful opportunity. It might be part of the guide's job to keep an eye on the members from the back, but as someone who was at the front, I felt lonely without someone to share this amazing view with.

DVDを鑑賞するといよいよ乗馬開始。
ヘルメットをつけてからツアー開始まではとてもスピーディですが、不思議と怖さはなかったです。海、山、どれを撮っても最高のロケーション！さすがクアロアランチ！お馬さんが途中で草を食べてしまってガイドに怒られてる姿も少し可愛かったです。
今回、はじめての乗馬でいきなり２時間コースということでしたが、ゆっくり歩いてくれるのであまりお尻も痛くならず、次の日までは響きませんでした。何と言っても景色の良さに感激です。緑の山々に囲まれて、高い位置から風を感じるのはとても心地が良く、お利口さんなお馬さんだったので安心して乗っていられました。
初心者の私でも手綱を引っ張るとすぐに言うことを聞いてくれるのでよく躾けられていて賢いと感じました。
だだ、今回6人でツアーだったのですが、ガイドさんが後ろの方の英語が話せる乗馬経験者の方だけとツアー中ほとんどの時間を話していました。せっかくクアロアランチでの乗馬を選んだので、クアロアランチの歴史や良さについて全員で勉強したかったです。
英語はそこまでうまくありませんが、簡単なものであれば話せるので、せっかくの機会だったのでもう少し乗馬と会話の両方を楽しみたかったなと思います。
ガイドの方は後ろからメンバーを見ることも仕事のうちなので仕方ないのかもしれないですが、先頭を歩いていた私としては、この素晴らしい景色を共感できる相手がおらず寂しかったです。

Despite the unfortunate weather with light rain, I was initially worried about the tour, but they provided us with rain gear, and the two hours flew by. I enjoyed the mystical Waipi'o Valley horseback riding!

I was happy that the guide chose horses that seemed to match well with each individual. Since I participated with six friends, it became a wonderful memory!

あいにくのお天気で小雨が降る中のツアーとなり最初は不安でしたが、雨具も貸していただき、あっという間の2時間。神秘的なワイピオ渓谷乗馬を楽しめました！

ガイドさんが個々に相性の良さそうな馬を選んでくれたのが嬉しかったです。友人6人で参加したので、とてもいい思い出になりました！

Horseback riding was very enjoyable, and the staff at the ranch only spoke English but were very kind. The horses were very well-trained, and although I have a little riding experience, I think even beginners can ride comfortably.
However, the person who guided us...
They weren't a bad person, but they spoke unilaterally without checking in with us. It felt like they were progressing through the tour like a factory assembly line, just going through the motions. I intended to ask for lunch as well, but when was the order taken? At one point during the drive, lunch was mentioned, but they didn't take our order. The guide seemed to think that since there was no lunch order, everyone should take care of it themselves. As a result, everyone in the vehicle ended up getting lunch on their own.

乗馬はとても楽しく牧場の人も英語でしか話せませんでしたがとても親切でした。馬もとても慣れていて、私は乗馬経験が少しありますが、初心者でも安心して乗馬が出来ると思います。
ただ、観光を案内してくれる人が・・・
悪い人ではないのですが、一方的に話をして確認をとったりしない。工場での流れ作業の様に一人で淡々と進めていく感じでした。昼食もお願いするつもりでしたが、いつ注文？一度運転中に話をしている中で昼食についても話がでましたが、注文をとってくれませんでした。ガイドさんは昼食の注文がなかったので、各自でとって下さい。と注文をとったつもりでいた様でしたが、おかげで車中全員が各自で昼食をとりました。

I chose a private course because I wanted to canter, having some experience in horseback riding. However, due to the impact of a recent typhoon, I had to cross a small river to get to the area where the horses could run. The horses couldn't cross, so I thought, "No way!" and decided to get a refund. As a result, I ended up on the same course as the complete beginners. I would have appreciated a heads-up before the tour started, letting us know there would be areas where we couldn't run. Moreover, it was a hot day, and the female staff had a sour expression, which made the experience feel unpleasant.

乗馬の経験があるためキャンターをしたかったので、プライベートコースを選びました。ですが、少し前の台風の影響もあり、馬の走れるスペースに行くのには　、小さな川を渡らなければいけないと、、。馬には渡れないは、で
no way!でリファンンドするからいいわよね。で、まるきり体験コースの
方々と同じコースへ。ツアーが始まる前に、走れない箇所があるけど
どうしますか？ぐらいの連絡はいただきたかったですね。しかも、その日暑くてスタッフの女子は仏頂面で感じ悪かったです。

We took the Japanese tour since the english tour was sold out. Fortunately we were bilingual so there were no issues for us. Mr. Aoki the tour coordinator was very helpful. There might be few things that you just have to laugh about.

Sadly we weren’t able to see the sunrise because of weather issues but we got to see the star gazing perfectly!!

FYI not being avle to see doesnt happen often because this tour is known for being able to see more than 300 days/year.

Still waiting for our pics from the tour guide since they took the pictures for us! Will post all the pics when we recieve them

The guide's talk, which included local information, was fascinating, and I was able to enjoy myself throughout. The sunset above the clouds and the starry sky from the mountaintop were incredibly beautiful and exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail to ensure participants were comfortable made it a great tour where I felt the hospitality. It's a highly recommended tour that I would love to join again when I visit Maui.

ガイドさんの現地情報も含んだトークが興味深く、終始楽しく過ごすことができました。山の上から見た雲上のサンセットと満天の星空は想像以上に素晴らしく美しい景色で感動しました。参加者が快適に過ごせるよう細かな所まで気を配っていただき、ホスピタリティを感じる良いツアーでした。
またマウイに行ったら参加したいと思えるとてもおすすめのツアーです。

I would like to thank our guide, Yamauchi, for the thorough preparations that ensured we could definitely observe the starry sky. I was surprised to see that there was a telescope with GPS as well.

星空を確実に観測出来るよう周到な準備を頂いたガイドの山内さんに感謝します。GPS付きの望遠鏡もあるなんてビックリしました。

There are several tour companies that offer sunset and stargazing tours at the summit of Mauna Kea, but I chose the tour from Mauna Kea Nature School. I believe a lot depends on the guide's skills, and I'm glad I made this choice. The guide's storytelling was excellent, making the half-day tour feel shorter. On the day of the tour, we were fortunate with the weather at the summit and were able to see a beautiful sunset and a stunning starry sky. Participating in this tour made me feel like I achieved half of my travel goals. I would join again.

マウナケア山頂サンセット＆スターゲイジングツアーを催行しているツアー会社は複数社あるようですが、私はマサシネイチャースクールのツアーを選びました。ガイドさんの力量によるところも多いとは思いますが、選んで良かったです。ツアー中の話術も巧みで半日間のツアーも短く感じれるようでした。当日は山頂の天気にも恵まれて綺麗なサンセットと綺麗な星空を見られましたし、このツアーに参加して今回の旅行の半分の目的が達せられた気分です。また参加します。

It was amazing!!

Last year, I went to Hawaii on a package tour from a travel company and signed up for a one-hour horseback riding and a trip to Secret Island through their optional tours. The horseback riding was so good that I was determined to take the two-hour course next time, which is why I signed up this time.

This time, I opted for the two-hour horseback riding without transportation, and I drove there with a rental car. I booked the 9:30 session, and after confirming my payment and schedule, the voucher from Veltra stated that check-in was at 8:30. So, I left the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Waikiki around 7:15 and arrived at the Kualoa Ranch parking lot at 8:15. The traffic around Waikiki was heavy, and I was worried about whether I would arrive on time, but once I got closer to the mountains, the traffic suddenly eased up, and the road was straightforward.

I arrived at 8:15 and went to the ticket counter for check-in, but there was a long line! I realized why the voucher stated to check in at 8:30, even though I had booked the 9:30 session!

After presenting my voucher and completing check-in, a staff member called over a Japanese staff member, who provided a brief explanation and told us to go to the horseback riding reception 15 minutes before our session.

Even while waiting around the reception area, there was no announcement from the staff when the time came! So, it’s essential to approach them for check-in 15 minutes early! If you just wait quietly, you might miss your reserved time.

I was told that I could only bring a camera or a phone. Water was not allowed! However, after other activities, there was one person who left their water bottle and towel on a shelf during check-in.

The Japanese staff member advised us to leave all valuables and bags in a locker or in the rental car.

The helmets smelled quite bad, probably because they weren’t washed (laughs). Therefore, if you don’t want to wear it directly on your head, I recommend wearing a cap first before putting on the helmet! I learned this from my last visit and did it this time.

This time, there were a total of six participants, including us, in three couples. One English-speaking staff member accompanied us, but they mostly stayed at the back, so I was at the front. I was quite anxious and scared at first (laughs).

The horses go on their own, but there were moments when the staff was on their phones or when I couldn’t see the front at a turn, and my horse occasionally went the wrong way (laughs). The staff would come from behind, deliberately get close to my horse, scold it, and redirect it, but sometimes the horse would get startled and speed up or make sudden turns, which was really scary! (laughs) But once I got used to it, it became a fun accident.

The scenery was breathtaking. I think it’s an experience you can’t have in Japan.

I saw many reviews saying that the two-hour course would make your butt hurt, and I found that to be true! It suddenly started to hurt in the second half (laughs).

I think it was because I was tense and anxious in the first half, so adrenaline was pumping, but once I got used to it, the pain hit me suddenly (laughs).

After horseback riding, we had lunch at the hamburger place inside Kualoa Ranch.

There were plenty of chairs and tables, and outside there was a free water station with cups. We enjoyed our meal while looking at the ocean, and the taste was fantastic!

This is an activity I definitely want to participate in again next time! (＾Ｏ＾)

最高でした！！

去年、旅行会社のパッケージツアーでハワイに行き、同社のオプショナルツアーで乗馬1時間とシークレットアイランドに申し込みました。
その時の乗馬がとても良く、次回は2時間コースを絶対と思っており今回申し込みました。

今回は2時間乗馬を送迎無しの単品で、レンタカーで行きました。9:30からの回を申し込み、入金&予定確定後のベルトラからのバウチャーにはチェックインには8:30と記載がありましたのでワイキキのハイアットリージェンシーホテルを7:15ごろ出発し、8:15にクアロアランチ駐車場に着いてました。
ワイキキあたりは車が混んでいて、時間通りにちゃんと着くのか？と焦りましたが、山側に差し掛かってからは急に車も少なく、ずっと道なり一本道だったので分かりやすかったです。

8:15に着き、チェックインのためチケットカウンターに行きましたが、すごく並んでいました！9:30の回に予約したのに、バウチャーには8:30チェックインとなっていた意味がよく分かりました！

バウチャーを提示してチェックインを済ませると窓口のスタッフの人が日本人スタッフの方に声をかけ呼んでくれて、日本人スタッフの方から簡単な案内と15分前には乗馬の受付に行ってくださいと言われました。

受付周辺いたりしても、時間になってもスタッフの方からは声かけはありません！
なので15分前に必ず、自分からチェックインの為に声を掛けることが必要です！！黙って待っているだけでは、予約した時間の回に参加できなくなります。

持ち物はカメラか携帯のみと言われました。水もNGです！
他のアクティビティ後で、もしそのまま持って行ってしまっても水のボトルとタオル程度ならチェックインの時に棚に置かせてもらってる方も1人いました。

事前に先程の日本人のスタッフの方から、貴重品やバッグなどはすべて、ロッカーかレンタカーへ置いてくるように言われました。

ヘルメットは、洗ってないせいか、かなり臭います（笑）そのため、直接頭にかぶりたくない場合は必ずキャップを被ってから上にヘルメットを装着することをおすすめします！
前回の時に学び、今回はそうしました。

今回は私達を含め、計3組のカップルで６人での参加でした。
英語スタッフの方が１人同行してくれるのですが、基本一番後ろを行くので、私が一番先頭でした。最初はかなり不安で怖かったです（笑）

馬が勝手に行ってくれるのですが、スタッフさんが携帯を触ってたり、曲がり道で先頭が見えなくなってしまうタイミングに限って、私の馬がたまに道を間違えて違う道に進んでしまうことがありました（笑）
スタッフさんが後ろからやってきて、自分の馬をわざと近づけて叱りながら私の馬の方向を変えてくれるのですが、その時馬がびっくりしてたまに早足になったり、急な方向転換をして本当に怖かったです！（笑）でもそれも慣れてくると楽しいアクシデントでした。

景色は最高。日本では味わえない経験だとおもいます。

口コミで、2時間コースはお尻が痛くなると、たくさん見かけたのですが、後半に入ると急にお尻が痛くなります（笑）

おそらく前半は緊張と不安でアドレナリンが出てるからだと思いますが、慣れてきたあたりから急に痛くなります（笑）

乗馬を終えて、クアロアランチの中のハンバーガー屋さんで昼食をとりました。

椅子とテーブルもたくさんあり、外に無料の給水機とコップもあり、海を眺めながら食べましたが味も最高でした！

次回も必ず参加したいアクティビティでした！（＾Ｏ＾）

On October 30th, we participated as a couple.
We were overwhelmed by the incredible beauty of nature that you can't see in reality.
The sunset sinking into the clouds.
The shadow of the Earth that can only be seen here.
The colors of the sky between evening and night.
We couldn't move from the sunset spot; we wanted to keep watching it forever.
As the sun set further, we even got to see the night view of the town of Kona, which made us forget about car sickness.
The main event was the breathtaking starry sky.
You have to see it in person to understand; it's definitely worth it.
The number of stars is unmatched by any other stargazing spot.
I never thought the Milky Way could be so captivating.
From start to finish, everything captivated my heart, leaving me speechless, with countless memories that can't be captured in photos.
And our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, brought out the best in this experience.
I never expected to see him featured in a travel guide. (laughs)
He carefully shared detailed recommendations for spots on Maui, showcasing the greatness of this island that could change one's perspective on life.
All his stories left a lasting impression on me.
Perhaps because of such a wonderful guide, the other participants were also amazing people.
I will definitely return to Maui!
Thank you for the wonderful tour!
For those considering it, you absolutely should take this tour!
Oh, and if you're prone to motion sickness, you'll need some medication.

10月30日、夫婦で参加しました。
現実では見られないような自然の凄さに圧倒されました。
雲に沈む夕陽。
ここでしか見られない地球の影。
夕方と夜の間の空の色。
サンセットスポットから足が動かず、いつまでも見ていたかったほど。
さらに日が沈み、まさかのコナの街並みの夜景まで見れて車酔いなんて吹っ飛んだほど。
最大のメインイベントはあっと驚く満天の星。
これは実際に見ないと伝わらないので、絶対見る価値あり。
どんな星空スポットも叶わないほどの星の数。
天の川がこんなに心を奪われるものだと思わなかった。
始まりから終わりまで全てに心を奪われ、言葉を失い、写真には収まらない思い出がたくさん。
そして、それを最大限に発揮させてくれたガイドのヤマウチさん。
まさかるるぶに載ってるとは思いませんでした。笑
マウイ島のオススメスポットを細かく丁寧に教えて頂き、この島の素晴らしさ、人生観を変えるほどの島の偉大さ。
どのお話も心に残りました。
そんな方のツアーだからか、同乗の方達もとても素晴らしい方達でした。
また、マウイ島に絶対戻ってきます！
ステキなツアーをありがとうございました！
検討されてる方は絶対このツアーにすべきです‼️
あっ、乗り物に弱い方は酔い止めが必要です

We participated as a family of five across three generations, and the staff interacted cheerfully with the elderly without any signs of annoyance. It seems that even the parents, who don't understand English, were able to enjoy horseback riding. We were very satisfied as we rode for quite a long time. We would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

家族三世代5人での参加でしたが、年寄り相手でも嫌な顔せずに明るく接してくれて英語のわからない親世代でも楽しく乗馬できたようです。かなり長い時間馬に乗るのでとても満足しました。また機会があれば参加したいです。

This was my second time participating (I joined at the request of my companion).
Last time it was cold, so I was fully prepared with tights, pants, and Heattech! It felt like summer in Hawaii, haha.
This time, it wasn't cold at all. I didn't need the tights...

There are differences depending on the time of year, and it seems that summer is definitely warmer (last time was in May and it was cold...).

No matter how many times I go, the bento and miso soup are consistently delicious!

And the views are amazing! The sunset and starry sky were beautiful no matter how many times I saw them.

２回目の参加でした（同行者の希望で参加）
前回が寒かったので、完全防備の
タイツにズボン、ヒートテック！で常夏のハワイ笑
今回は、全く寒くなかったです
タイツは要らなかったなぁ…

参加する時期によって差があり、
夏の時期のほうがやっぱり温かいそうです
（前回が５月で寒かった…）

何度いってもお弁当とお味噌汁は
安定の美味しさ！

そして、最高の景色！
夕焼け、星空は何度見てもきれいでした

The zip line experience was amazing. I had a great time. Although there was no Japanese support, I managed to get by. I was a bit worried since all the explanations were in English and I could only understand about one-third of it, but the staff kindly provided some words in Japanese and used gestures to help me navigate the course.

First, we put on the harness and helmet (they teach you properly) and practiced by sliding down a practice zip line. After that, we took a buggy to the course, which started at a pretty high point. The view was absolutely stunning, which was already impressive. The course gradually increased in difficulty from beginner to more challenging (the distance and steepness became greater, but as I got used to it, it became even more enjoyable), and finally, we reached what is said to be the longest zip line at 830 meters. I heard it was the longest in America (though my understanding of English is less than one-third).

I was able to enjoy the ride with a bit of ease, being able to look around. At the end, I was told to try various tricks (the staff demonstrated how to do it), so I attempted to go backwards and upside down. I highly recommend this to everyone.

Along the course, there were spots to learn about history, hydrate, and eat bananas and macadamia nuts. It was a zip line experience where you could climb and descend on your own while enjoying nature. It seems that this activity hasn't spread much among Japanese people yet, as I didn't see many others; there was only one other group. My team even included a foreigner who was about 70 years old, so I think it's something that people of various ages can enjoy.

ジップライン最高です良い体験をしました。
日本語対応無いですが、何とかできます。
説明がすべて英語で普通会話の説明なのでどうなるかと思いました（１／３位しか分からなかった）が、スタッフが親切に日本人には単語だけ言ってくれたり、身ぶり手ぶりで教えてくれたのでコースを回って来られました。
最初にハーネスとヘルメットを装着（ちゃんと教えてくれます）して練習ジップラインを実際にはすべり下りる。
その後、バギーでコースへ出発、結構登った所が出発点です。景色がすっごく良いです。これだけで感動。初級向けから徐々に難しくなって（距離や斜度が急になってきますが、慣れて来てもっと楽しくなってくる）遂に８３０mあるそうですが最長のジップラインに来ます。アメリカで1番長いと聴こえました（私の１／３以下の英語理解ですが）。ちょっと余裕で（周りが見られるようになる）楽しく降りることができました。
最後はいろいろアレンジしろと言われ（スタッフが演技して降りるので分かります）背面、逆さまに挑戦しました。皆さんにもオススメします。
コースの途中には歴史や水分補給、バナナ、マカデミアの食べるところもあり、自力でロープを登ったり、降りたり、自然を満喫しながらのジップラインです。
まだあまり日本人には広がってないのか余り見かけませんでした、ほかのチームでも1組くらいしか入ってなかった。わたしのチームには70歳くらいの外人さんも入っていたので、結構年いっても出来るかと思いました。

The location is quite far from Waikiki, which was tough, but it was worth the 20,000 yen! You absolutely have to do it! Just be careful of mosquito bites!

場所はワイキキからかなりあり大変だったけど、2万出した価値あり！絶対やるべきー！
蚊にさされるよー

The weather was great, and I encountered a sea turtle along the way. Communicating with the horse was also enjoyable. They paired me with a smaller mare that matched my height. Since it's a Thoroughbred, I wondered if it used to be a racehorse! I had a wonderful experience.

天候にも恵まれて、途中ウミガメにも遭遇しました。お馬さんとのコミュニケーションも楽しいです。お馬さんは、わたしの身長に合わせて小さめの牝馬をパートナーにしてくれました。
サラブレッドですので、むかし競走馬だったのかな！とか思いながら楽しい経験できました。

After arriving, I had to wait in line for over two hours, but the diving experience itself was great. The staff were friendly and taught us a lot, and although the photography service was paid, they took many pictures for us, which was nice. As for tips, it is indicated that you should pay at least $20 to the person who dives with you and $10 to the driver for the transportation.

到着後 順番待ちが長くて2時間以上待ちましたが、ダイビングの体験自体はスタッフさんも気さくで色々な事を教えてくださいますし、撮影も有料ですが沢山してもらえたのでよかったです
チップですが、一緒に飛んでくださる方に20ドル　送迎のドライバーさんに10ドルを最低支払う事が表示されています

I used a lot of energy, but I had a great time! It was helpful to have a guide who could speak Japanese. The scenery on the way back was also amazing. I will build up my stamina and participate again!

体力を使ったけど楽しめました❗日本語を

話せるガイドがついたので助かりました。
帰りの景色も最高でした。体力を付けて又参加します❗

We had such a great time! Joshua and Melissa were the best tour guides we have ever had on the island. Joshua was so knowledgeable, friendly, and very engaging. When we bring our kids back, we definitely would go again and request him as our tour guide. Melissa’s banana bread was super tasty.

I was looking forward to the Manoa Falls hike on this trip to Hawaii, but due to a landslide, it was closed on the day of my visit, so we had to take the alternative route to Aihualama Falls and the botanical garden.

Unfortunately, Aihualama Falls is much smaller than Manoa Falls, which was disappointing. I also wanted to see the banyan tree arch and other rustic plants along the way to Manoa Falls, but the alternative route was just a long walk through a well-maintained botanical garden, lacking the sense of adventure I had hoped for.

For those who want to avoid getting their clothes and shoes dirty, this alternative tour might be good, but for us, who were prepared to get dirty and excited about experiencing nature, it was a letdown.

While it's understandable that the Manoa Falls route is closed due to natural disasters, I believe the alternative Aihualama Falls route should be marketed as a completely different tour. It was very unkind to suggest that it was the same experience as the Manoa Falls route.

Unfortunately, the Kaimana Farm Cafe was also closed, and we ended up getting takeout bento boxes to eat at the hotel after the tour.

I can only say that the timing was unfortunate, and it was a disappointing tour.

今回のハワイ旅行で楽しみにしていたマノア滝ハイキングですが、土砂崩れで、訪問した日も閉鎖されていた為、代替のアイフアラマ滝と植物園のコースとなりました。
やはり滝の大きさは代替のアイフアラマ滝は小さく残念な感じでした。
また、滝よりもマノア滝に行くまでに見られるバニアンツリーアーチなど素朴な植物を見たかったのですが、代替コースは整備された植物園を延々と歩いていくだけでアドベンチャー感がなく期待していたものとは程遠かったです。
服や靴を汚したくない方には、今回の代替ツアーは良いかもしれませんが、汚れてもいい準備で気合入れて大自然を期待して参加した我々には拍子抜けで残念な内容でした。
マノア滝コースが閉鎖されているのは自然災害で仕方ないことですが、代替のアイフアラマ滝コースは、全くの別物のツアーであるという位置づけで、別ツアーとして案内した方が良いと思います。マノア滝コースと変わらない内容ですという案内はとても不親切だと思います。
カイマナファームカフェも運悪く閉店しており、テイクアウトのお弁当を解散時に貰ってホテルで食べました。
つくづくタイミングが悪かったとしか言いようがないですが、残念なツアーでした。
