All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I had wanted to go horseback riding in Hawaii for a long time, so I was really looking forward to this trip. It takes about an hour from Waikiki, so I was glad I opted for the pickup service. I chose the two-hour course because I wanted to ride in the Kualoa Valley. There were six of us and one instructor. My horse was a bit of a glutton and kept eating the grass along the path, which was a bit troublesome, but it wasn't dangerous, and the instructor quickly came over to scold the horse.

My mother was anxious before riding, but she said it wasn't scary once she got on. However, being in her 60s, she mentioned that her backside started to hurt, so she felt one hour would have been enough for her. I, on the other hand, had no such issues and really enjoyed riding amidst the beautiful scenery.

以前からハワイで乗馬がしたかったので、今回楽しみにしていました。ワイキキから1時間くらいかかるので送迎付きにしてよかったです。クアロアの渓谷を乗馬したかったので2時間コースにしました。6人とインストラクター一人でした。私の馬は食いしん坊でよく道の草を食べていて困りましたが危険ということはなく、すぐにインストラクターの方が来て馬を叱ってくれました。
母も乗る前は不安がっていましたが、乗ったら怖くなかったといっていました。ただ60代ということもあったのかお尻が痛くなってしまったので1時間で充分だったと言っていました。私はそういうこともなく綺麗な景色の中を乗馬できてとても楽しかったです。

I saw in the reviews that there wouldn't be any staff who spoke Japanese, so I participated, but there were some! Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy myself without any trouble.
Since it was in the mountains, I thought the sunlight would be strong, so I applied plenty of sunscreen and wore long sleeves. However, my arms, nose, and cheeks, which were exposed when I rolled up my sleeves a bit, got sunburned bright red.
The staff wore helmets over hats with brims, so if you're concerned about sunburn, I think it's a good idea to do the same.
The price is high, but everything in Hawaii tends to be on the expensive side, so it can't be helped.

体験談を見て　日本語を話せるスタッフさんがいないとわかって参加しましたが　いました❗お陰で　困る事なく楽しく過ごせました
山なので日差しが強いと思い　日焼け止めをたっぷり塗って　長袖を着ていきましたが　ちょっと袖をまくってたら　出てた腕と鼻とほっぺが真っ赤に日焼けをしてしまいました
スタッフさんたちは　つばのある帽子の上にヘルメットをかぶってたので　日焼けが気になる方は　そうされた方がいいかと思います
金額は高いですが　ハワイでは　何もかもお高めなので　仕方ないですね～

I wanted to go on a buggy ride (I had been on a tour before and this time I just wanted to do the buggy), so I chose this affordable plan. However, I was worried about having to gather at the meeting point. Taking a taxi would require a lot of money, and I was scared to drive a rental car (I have no experience with left-hand drive and driving on the right side), so I was unsure what to do. I found out online that I could also take The Bus, so I decided to give it a try.

The Bus costs $2.75 one way, but a day pass is $5.50, so considering the return trip, it’s better to buy the day pass for peace of mind (you won’t have to worry if you make a mistake! You can also stop for a restroom break or shopping!). You just need to hand cash to the driver when you get on the bus and say something like, “One day, please.” I don’t think tipping is necessary.

The Bus to Kualoa Ranch departs from the Ala Moana Shopping Center. The number is 55. The starting point is on the mountain side, but it also goes by the ocean side bus stop, so either way is fine. The ocean side bus stop requires a short walk towards the airport (opposite of Waikiki) from the trolley stop.

It takes about an hour to arrive. There’s an electronic display board at the front of the bus, similar to Japanese buses, where you can check the destination. The stops will be Kualoa Maintenance, Kualoa Regional Park, and then Kualoa Ranch. It’s safer to press the stop request button (or pull the cord) a bit earlier than in Japan. Even if Kualoa Ranch doesn’t show up on the display after passing Regional Park, it’s better to press it just in case. However, since there will likely be other people getting off, you might not need to worry too much about it. Just be careful not to miss your stop.

Also, the bus can be very cold, so those who are sensitive to the cold should be cautious.

As for the meeting place, there wasn’t any specific designation. After passing through the visitor center, there’s a ticket office, and suddenly, a local staff member who speaks Japanese will start explaining things (not at the ticket office, but further back in a grassy area). If you’re unsure, it’s quickest to ask any staff member if there’s someone who speaks Japanese.

In any case, you will need to show your voucher at the ticket office to receive your buggy ticket. After getting the ticket, go to the buggy check-in (marked as ATV) about 10 minutes before it starts, where you’ll be asked to sign a document stating you won’t complain if you get injured. After signing, you’ll be guided to a small hut where you can watch a Japanese explanation video. After that, you’ll put on a helmet (available in sizes S, M, L) and large transparent glasses for allergies before getting on the buggy.

From there, the experience is similar to others, so I’ll skip the details. Just go with the flow. There are various people, and some may not drive well, so it can go quite slowly. It’s important to have an open mind and be prepared for that. Instead of trying to go fast or keep up with the person in front, the key is to enjoy the scenery safely.

The course is quite bumpy, so it’s best to be careful not to go off course or bump into the person ahead of you while having fun. They will take photos along the way, which you can buy at the end for $15. However, they will also take pictures with your own camera (for free), so if you can take your own photos, you might not need to buy theirs.

自分はバギーをしたかったので（以前にツアーで行ったことがあり、今回はバギーのみしたかった）、安いこちらのプランにしました。ただ、現地に集合しないといけない点が不安でした。
タクシーで行くならかなり大金が必要になり、レンタカーは運転が怖かった（左ハンドル、右側通行の経験なし）のでどうしようかなと。
ネットでThe Busでも行けるとのことで、試しに行ってみました。
The Busは片道2.75ドルですが、一日乗車券が5.5ドルなので、帰りの分を考えると一日乗車券を購入した方が精神的な安定を保てます（もし間違えても大丈夫！途中でトイレやショッピングモールに寄りたくなっても大丈夫！）。どちらもバスに乗る際に運転手さんに現金を渡し、「ワンデー　プリーズ」とか言えば大丈夫です。チップは不要と思います。
クアロアランチへのThe Busはアラモアナショッピングセンターから出ています。番号は55番です。裏側（山側）が始発となっていますが、海側のバス停を経由しますので、どちらに行っても大丈夫です。海側のバス停はトロリーの乗り場より空港方面（ワイキキ方面と逆）に数分歩く必要があります。
大体1時間くらいで着きます。バスの前方に日本のバスみたいな電光掲示板があり、行き先を確認することができます。クアロアランチのバス停の前からクアロア○○というのが続きます。Kamehameha Hwy（カメハメハハイウェイ）ーKualoa Maintenance→Kualoa Resional Park→Kualoa Ranchの順で止まります。Stop Request（停止ボタン、もしくは縄みたいなのを引く）は日本より早めに押します。Resional Parkが過ぎたあたりで電光掲示板にKualoa Ranchが出なくても押した方が無難です。ただ、他にも降りる人がいると思うので、そこまで気にしなくても良いかもしれません。寝過ごさないように注意が必要です。
あと、バスの中はとても寒いので、寒さに弱い人は注意が必要です。
集合場所については、特に指定もありませんでした。ビジターセンターを抜けるとチケットオフィスがあり、気がついたら突然日本語を話せる現地のスタッフの説明が始まります（チケットオフィスではなく、さらに奥の原っぱみたいな所です）。分からなければ、まずは誰でも良いので日本語のスタッフがいないか、そこの辺にいるスタッフに聞くのが早いです。
ただ、いずれにしても、チケットオフィスでバウチャーを見せて、バギーのチケットをもらうことには変わりはありません。チケットをもらったら、始まる10分前にバギーの受付(ATVと書いてあります）に行くと、まずは怪我しても文句を言いません的な書類にサインをしろと言われます。そこにサインをすると次に日本語の説明ビデオを見れるような小屋に案内され、ビデオが流れます。それを見てから、その小屋内にあるヘルメット（サイズはS、M、Lなど）、花粉症用みたいな透明、大きめのメガネをつけてバギーに乗ります。それ以降は他の体験談と同じなので割愛します。なるようになります。色々な人がおり、運転が下手な人もいるため、すごいゆっくりになることもあります。その辺の覚悟、広い心は必要です。速く走ることや前の人について行こうと頑張るよりは、安全かつ周りの景色を楽しみながら行くのがコツと思います。
結構凸凹してますので、コースアウトしないことや前の人にぶつからないように注意して楽しむのが良いと思います。
途中で写真を撮られ、それは最後に15ドルで売ってます。でも自分で持ってきたカメラでも写真を撮ってくれますので（もちろんタダ）、自分たちのカメラで撮れれば必要ないと思います。

It was my first horseback riding experience, and I decided to go for the 2-hour course based on everyone's reviews (＾Ｏ＾). To be honest, my butt got really sore, haha. At the beginning, they showed a Japanese explanation video, but during the experience, I managed with English and gestures. After a while of walking through the mountains, we caught sight of the ocean, entered the ranch, passed by the filming location of Jurassic Park, and occasionally crossed rivers and sped up. It was quite a fulfilling 2 hours!!

初めての乗馬体験でしたが、みなさんの口コミを頼りに思い切って2時間コースにしてみました（＾Ｏ＾）
正直言って、お尻がめちゃくちゃ痛くなりました笑
始めに日本語の説明ムービーを流してくれますが、体験中は英語とジェスチャーで乗り切りました。山の中をしばらくお散歩したあと、途中で海が見えてきて、牧場の中に入り、ジェラシックパークの撮影現場を通過し、たまに川を越えたり、スピードアップしたりと、なかなか充実した2時間でした！！

The tour guide Herald was very nice, friendly and knowledgeble on native hawaiian's culture, ecology and astronomy. We got to see a "natural planetarium" in the mountain including Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus. Coming from a big city we don't see stars in the sky, so the view was just breath taking and we were soooo glad we participated in the tour. I guess you can go to the summit and see stars on your own but I'd strongly recommend this tour. Because I think it will give you a whole new experience and view on the island and their culture.
Dinner was tasty too. I was expecting a lot less.

This was our second time, but since it was my niece's first time on the Big Island, we participated. My sister, who is not good with heights, felt unwell, but our guides, Shin and Matsuzaki, were very kind and supportive. (She used oxygen a couple of times, but she said she really enjoyed it.) My niece, who was participating for the first time, was thrilled and felt it was great to join. Matsuzaki's storytelling was very enjoyable, and during the stargazing, we forgot about the cold and shortness of breath, laughing a lot while enjoying the stars. Next time, I would like to join another tour with a different Masashi Nature School.

私たちは2度目でしたが、ハワイ島初めての姪っ子がいたので、参加しました。
高所が不得意な姉が気分を悪くしましたが、ガイドのシンさんや、松崎さんが優しく対応してくださり、（2回ほど酸素吸入しましたが）、姉もとても楽しめたと言っていました。初参加の姪は、大はしゃぎで参加してよかったと思っています。
松崎さんのおしゃべりはとても楽しく、星空観察の際は、寒さや息苦しさも忘れて大笑いをしながら星空を楽しめました。
次回は、また別のマサシネーチャースクールのツアーに参加したいと思います。

Great hike! No need for a guide. Start the hike early, beautiful views.

It was my first fishing trip in Hawaii. The catch was good, and the view from the sea was amazing. The only downside was that the equipment was not great.

ハワイでの初釣りでした。
釣果も良かったし海から見る景色も最高でした。唯一道具が悪いのが残念でした。

I participated with my 4-year-old child. The tour guide accompanied my child for horseback riding, which made us feel secure. Both my child and I had a great time.

4歳の子供と参加しました。
子供にはツアーの人が付き添いで乗馬をしてもらい安心して参加できました。
子供も私も大変楽しかったです。

This was my second time participating! The one-hour course was sufficient. You can enjoy both mountain and ocean views while horseback riding. If you just want to ride and save time, I recommend choosing a course without transportation and renting a car. It takes just under two hours by bus from Waikiki, and a round trip by taxi costs around 8,000 yen, as told by a taxi driver in Waikiki. If you choose the course with transportation, you'll have to wait about two hours inside Kualoa after the ride ends. There are animals like horses, chickens, goats, tortoises, donkeys, cows, and cats, so watching them helped pass about 30 minutes of the one-hour wait before riding. There are also some souvenirs for sale and a convenience store. There are coin lockers available for $5, so you can safely store your valuables. It was okay to have a camera and smartphone hanging around your neck while riding. Regarding horseback riding, my husband got a pressure sore, and I also experienced pain in my tailbone, so I think those taking the two-hour course should be careful about their seating position!

2回目の参加！1時間コースでしたが十分でした。山と海どっちもの景色を乗馬しながら楽しめます。乗馬だけしたい方で時間の節約をしたい方は送迎なしのコースにしてレンタカーがおすすめです。ワイキキからバスだと2時間弱、タクシーだと往復で確か8000円近くするとワイキキのタクシーの運転手さんに言われました。乗馬だけで送迎ありにすると乗馬が終わってから2時間くらいクアロア内でまちぼうけになります。馬、鶏、やぎ、リクガメ、ロバ、牛、猫などいるので動物を見てると乗馬前の待ち時間1時間のうち30分くらいは暇つぶしになりました。ちょっとしたお土産も売っていますしコンビニもあります。コインロッカーが5ドルであるので貴重品も安心して預けれます。乗馬の時首からかけたカメラとスマホはOKでした。
乗馬に関しては、旦那は床ずれができ、私も尾てい骨が痛くなったので、2時間コースの方は座り方に気を付けた方がいいと思います！

The first time was about three years ago when I applied with a friend, but it was canceled due to bad weather. This year for sure! It was a tour for two, but I somehow requested to participate alone. I was grateful that they picked me up. Personally, I think it could have been even more enjoyable if I had a deeper knowledge of astronomy. The explanations in Japanese, the Japanese food, tea, safety measures against the cold, and safe driving were all great. While inquiring about participating alone, I was starting to give up thinking it might be impossible since I was by myself. I also looked at the English tours, but the reviews were... (sweat). It truly became a wonderful memory! I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

一回目は三年ほど前、友人と申し込みましたが天候不良でキャンセル。
今年こそは！二人からのツアーでしたが
ひとりでの参加をなんとか、リクエスト。

本当に良い思い出になります！またチャンスがあれば参加したいものです

Beautiful hike. Tour guide Jody was informative. Bring repellent, I didn’t even realize I got a few bites! It can get messy if it rains, muddy shoes. There’s so many people, a tour guide is not really needed but the transportation there and back was nice. Also, this was my first hike and also my mother in laws, we did really well. Totally worth it. Lunch was also very good, first time trying vegan food, it was surprisingly filling.

I thought it was a cruiser around 11.5 to 12 meters, but it was just under 7 meters. I expected to have a bit of a serious fishing experience, but I ended up not even touching the fishing rod. The family of three that came with us put their catch back on the floor of the boat, and there was a smell; it was pretty bad. Next time, I hope they create a more advanced and serious tour. Thank you. However, for small children, the fun of a rocking boat and catching small fish could become a memorable experience.

Since it was my first time on the Big Island, I really wanted to go to Mauna Kea, so I joined the tour!

The guide was a lot of fun, and we were laughing so much in the car. Before I knew it, we arrived at the Onizuka Center. We had an early dinner there, and the bento with miso soup was delicious—it had been a while since I had Japanese food.

The weather was really nice that day, and both the sunset and the starry sky were beyond words in their beauty!

Depending on the weather, I definitely recommend this tour.

初ハワイ島だったのでぜひマウナケアに行きたいと思い参加しました！

ガイドさんがとっても楽しい方で車の中は大爆笑。あっと言う間にオニヅカセンターへ。そこで早めの夕飯を食べましたが、お弁当に味噌汁付きで久しぶりの日本食が美味しかったです。

当日はとても天気が良かったこともあり、サンセットも星空も言葉では言い表せない素晴らしさでした！

天気にもよりますが、ぜひお勧めしたいツアーです。

I was lucky to have great weather. The starry sky changed my perspective on life. I saw two big shooting stars, and the view of the red glow from Kilauea Volcano reflecting on the clouds was magical. They also took commemorative photos with a high-sensitivity camera, and I'm looking forward to downloading them.
They provided information on how to cope with the thin air at high altitudes, and there are oxygen tanks available for those who feel unwell, which is reassuring.
Seeing is believing.

天気に恵まれてラッキーでした。満天の星空は、人生観が変わります。大きな流れ星も、２つ見え、キラウェア火山の赤が雲に映る景色も幻想的でした。高感度カメラで記念写真も撮ってくれて、ダウンロードするのが楽しみです。
酸素が薄い高地での対処方法も教えて下さるし、具合の悪い方用酸素ボンベもあり、安心です。
百聞は一見にしかずです。

I would recommend Pacific Aviation Skydiving to everyone who wants to skydive in Hawaii! They were all very nice and professional! It was my first time skydiving and an unforgettable experience! I would strongly recommend getting the video as well as pics! I experienced it with my son and daughter- in- law! So that made it even more awesome!

At first, I was a little scared, but it was a lot of fun. I have a fear of heights, but I was okay. It was a bit chilly in the mountains, so I regretted going in light clothing.

はじめは少し怖かったですがとても楽しかったです。
高所恐怖症ですが大丈夫でした。
山の中はちょっと肌寒かったので薄着で行ってしまったことを後悔しました。

It was the best experience! The instructor was cheerful, fun, kind, and really got everyone excited! The scenery was amazing, and I want to do it again and again! For those who will be doing it in the future, I think you'll want to buy the photos and videos; the expressions on your face while flying are incredibly funny!

最高の体験でした
インストラクターも明るくて楽しくて親切で盛り上げてくれました！
景色も最高、また何回でもしたいです！
これからされる方は、写真やビデオ購入したくなると思います、飛んでる時の顔、めちゃくちゃ面白いです。

This tour is probably one of the best tours you can do if you're staying in Maui. I went with my boyfriend on a Friday and our tour guide Trevor was amazing and took great care of us. It was an all-day event starting at around 8am with the bus coming to our hotel to pick us up, and ended around 6pm with us being dropped back off as well. Trevor, a local of Hawaii for many years, was very informative of the lifestyle, culture, and geography of a lot of the sightseeing we encountered on the road and made multiple stops throughout the trip to allow passengers to explore, shop, and take pictures. We pretty much made an entire loop around the right side of the island which was amazing because we definitely got to see the different terrains as well. The highlight of the trip for my boyfriend and I was making stops at one of the waterfall pools and Black Sand Beach at Waianapanapa State Park. Our tickets included a light, continental breakfast and a nice lunch. We couldn't have asked for a better day!

My family has gone on several 'adventures' on the islands, but I must say that the waterfall rappelling adventure was our favorite by far! The staff was tremendous, the waterfall was gorgeous, and the overall experience was exhilarating! We would highly recommend this tour, especially for a family with teens who crave some adventure.

I was a bit anxious about my English, so I requested a consent form in advance, filled it out, and brought it with me. We were the only Japanese participants, and the guide spoke entirely in English, but I understood the instructions, and even those who are not good at English can manage if they enjoy the activities. I also got along well with the other participants. After the tour, there was a photo sale, like at Disneyland attractions, and if there's one thing I regret now, it's not buying those photos.

英語に不安があったので、事前に同意書を送ってもらい、記入して持参しました。日本人は私たちのみ、ガイドもオール英語でしたが、指示はわかりましたし、英語が苦手な方もアクティビティが好きならどうにかなります。一緒に参加した方たちとも仲良くなりましたよ。ツアー終了後はディズニーランドのアトラクションのように写真販売もあって、今、後悔していることがあるとすれば、その写真を買わなかったことです。

This company was professional and went out of their way to make sure that everything was in place to make our trip first class. From calling the day before to confirm with us on meeting location and time to hot brownies at the end of the tour. Everything was great and the guide took the time to get to know us so she could make our experience the best it could be.

I would highly recommend this company.

My first trip to Hawaii and the first option tour!
It was great that the driver was Japanese, and I could hear various stories.
At Dole, the pineapple and soft serve were quite substantial, but they were very delicious.
After that, we went to the beach to see sea turtles, but unfortunately, the turtles didn't show up. My wife was very disappointed, but we caught a glimpse of one while driving.
In North Shore, we had lunch and did some light shopping (we could have used a bit more time).
Finally, it was time for horseback riding. My horse was quite well-behaved, but my wife's horse was a bit stubborn?! We struggled a bit, but the sea breeze along the coast felt really nice.
On the way back, thanks to the driver's suggestion, we stopped by a nut farm, which was also delicious.
It was a really great tour. Thank you!

初めてのハワイで最初のオプションツアー！
運転手さんが日本人で色々な話しも聞けて良かったです
Doleではパイナップルとソフトクリームなかなかのボリュームでしたがとても美味しかったです
そのあと海ガメを見に海岸へ行きましたが残念ながら亀さんは現れず妻がとても残念がっていましたが車で移動中に一瞬見れなんとか…
ノースシェアでは昼飯と軽いショッピング(もう少し時間が)
いよいよ乗馬、自分の馬はなかなかお利口さんでしたが妻の馬はちょっとわがまま？！で悪戦苦闘しましたが海岸沿いは浜風が吹きとても気持ち良かったです
帰りは運転手さんのはからいでナッツ園に寄って頂きこれまた美味しかったです
とても良いツアーでしたありがとうございます

We participated as a couple. We were worried about altitude sickness, but we were completely fine. We wore jackets, long pants, and knit hats for warmth. Additionally, we wore borrowed cold-weather gear, so we weren't cold at the summit. The sunset at the top was incredibly beautiful and moving. The stargazing was also amazing, and it was the first time I took photos with the starry sky as a backdrop. After returning to Japan, I downloaded the photos and was pleased with how well they turned out. It was the best memory. Thank you very much.

　夫婦２名の参加です。高山病の心配をしていましたが、全然平気でした。
寒さ対策にジャケットと長ズボン、ニット帽を着用。それに借りた防寒着を着たので、頂上でも寒くはありませんでした。頂上では、サンセットがとても綺麗で感動しました。星空観測も星がとても綺麗で、星空をバックにした写真を撮ったのは初めてでした。日本に帰ってからダウンロードした写真を見ましたが、とても良く撮れていて良かったです。最高の思い出です。ありがとうございました。

Initially, I had signed up for another zipline, but it was fully booked on all days, so I registered for this one instead. In the end, I was glad I chose Keana Farm!!

We were picked up and traveled for about an hour and a half to Keana Farm with around 12 to 15 people. Besides the two of us, everyone else was foreign! The driver talked a lot during the ride, but since it was all in English, I didn’t understand much (^_^;) When the participants started introducing themselves, we could only give a brief introduction since we couldn’t speak English. I thought it would have been more fun if we could speak English, but experiencing the overseas atmosphere was enjoyable in its own way!

Upon arriving at Keana Farm, we stored our valuables in a free locker with a lock. Large luggage was taken care of at the reception. We checked in one by one using a tablet on the wall, got fitted with the equipment, and then it was time to depart!

There was an instructor who could speak a little Japanese, and they were in charge of our group! So, there were no issues during the zipline.

There is a mini practice zipline near the reception where we practiced once before hopping on a buggy to climb the mountain. We zoomed along a narrow, bumpy mountain road in the buggy! It was fun♪

From there, we did several ziplines while making our way back. I was a bit nervous about letting go on the first zipline, but after that, I got used to it. It was so much fun! It was fast and exhilarating!! There were suspension bridges between ziplines, and we went down and up with ropes… we enjoyed a variety of activities!

After reading everyone’s reviews, I was anxious about whether I could climb up with the rope. At first, I was using my own strength to climb, but halfway through, my arms got tired and I couldn’t go up anymore (laughs). But it was okay!! In that case, the instructor helped us, so there was no problem at all♡

The weather was bad and it was raining, but it stopped partway through, and it was sunny for the last 15 minutes! I overslept that morning and forgot sunscreen… and even though it was only sunny for 15 minutes, I got sunburned (laughs). My face and neck got burned (laughs), and my neck turned red and was stinging throughout the trip.

I had such a great time this time that I want to participate in ziplining again!♡

最初は他のジップラインを申し込みしてましたがそちらがどの日も予約いっぱいで、こちらに申し込みしました。結果ケアナファームで良かったです！！

迎えがきてくれ12〜15人ぐらい一緒に1時間半かけてケアナファームへ。私達2人以外は外人さんばかり！途中運転手さんが色々話をしてくれてましたが英語オンリーなのであんまり分からず(^_^;)参加者の自己紹介も始まりましたが私達は英語が喋れないため軽い自己紹介のみ。英語が喋れたらもっと楽しいだろうな〜て思いましたが、これはこれで海外の雰囲気味わえて楽しかったです！

ケアナファームへ到着して貴重品は鍵付き(無料)ロッカーへ。大きな荷物は受付で預かってくれます。壁についてるタブレットで1人ずつ受付して、器具を装着してくれあとは出発するのみ！

日本語を少し喋れるインストラクターの方がいてその方が私たちのグループ担当になってくれました！なのでジップライン中は何も問題なかったです。

ジップラインはまず受付近くのところに練習用のミニサイズのジップラインがあります。それで1回練習してからバギーに乗って山を登っていきます。細いガタガタした山道をバギーで爆走！楽しいです♪

そこから何本ものジップラインをしながらまた戻ってくる感じでした。最初の1本目だけ足を離すのにちょっとドキドキしましたが、あとは慣れます。とっても楽しい！速いし気持ちいい！！
ジップラインとジップラインの間に吊り橋があったり真下に降りたりロープで上にあがったり…色んな事をしながらでより楽しめました♡

皆さんの口コミを読んで、ロープで上にあがれるのか不安で不安で…。最初は自分の力で上がってましたが途中から腕が疲れ上がれなくなり(笑)けど大丈夫です！！その場合はインストラクターの方が手助けしてくれるので全然問題なかったです♡

天気が悪くて雨が降っていましたが途中から止んで最後15分ぐらいは晴れました〜！
朝寝坊したため日焼け止めを忘れてしまい…たった15分晴れていただけなのに焼けました(笑)顔も首も焼けます(笑)首は赤くなり旅行中ずっとヒリヒリしてました。

今回かなり楽しかったのでまたジップライン参加したいです♡

On the way to the horseback riding point, thanks to the guide who kindly taught us how to ride horses in Japanese, I was able to ride smoothly from the very beginning!

乗馬ポイントへ向かう途中の車内で、ガイドさんが馬の乗り方についてとても丁寧に日本語で教えてもらえたおかげで、最初からスムーズに乗ることができました！

Mauna Kea, where various astronomical telescopes from different countries, including the Subaru Telescope, are installed. Since it's quite rare to tour the interior of the Subaru Telescope, I booked this tour.

The vehicle, which can accommodate about 14 people, was full. To ensure everyone had a good view from the windows, the guide kindly arranged seat changes at each rest stop, making sure everyone was treated fairly.

After enjoying a lunch at the Onizuka Center on Mauna Kea, we ascended an unpaved road with a steep incline, and the scenery from there was like being on the moon, with a landscape entirely of brown soil, creating a different world.

The sunset viewed from the various observatories on Mauna Kea was truly magnificent. After the sunset, we descended a bit to stargaze. I was amazed by the countless stars, and under the stunning night sky, we learned about the Southern Cross and various other stars that cannot be seen in Japan. It was a truly wonderful experience. I was very satisfied with the tour.

スバル望遠鏡等の様々な国の天体望遠鏡が設置されているマウナケア山。なかなかスバル望遠鏡の内部見学はできないため、このツアーを予約しました。
14名程度が乗れる車は満席でした。窓からの景色が良く見えるようにと、ガイドさんが休憩場所ごとに席替えをし、皆さんが公平になるように配慮してくださいました。
マウナケア山のオニヅカセンターでお弁当を頂いた後、急勾配の舗装されていない道を上っていくのですが、そこから見える景色はまるで月にいるような茶色の土一色で、別世界でした。
マウナケア山の各国の天文台付近から見たサンセットは本当に素晴らしかったです。
また、サンセットの後、少し下った場所で星空を見学しました。こんなに星があったのか、と驚くほどの満天の星空の下、日本では見ることのできない南十字星や様々な星の解説をしてくださり、とても素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。大満足のツアーでした。

The staff, who understand a little Japanese, were kind and taught us well. We were able to ride horses between the beach and the trees on the North Shore, and the duration was long enough for us to fully enjoy it. The weather was great, making it a perfect day!

日本語は少し通じるスタッフが優しく 教えてくださいます。
ノースショアの海辺と 木々の間も 乗馬出来て
しかも時間も 長いので充分満喫出来ました。
天気もよく 最高な日になりました！

My first skydiving experience!! It was truly the best experience! I went with a friend, but unfortunately, we didn't have the video running and didn't get any photos while flying, which was a bit disappointing, but it was still a great experience!

人生初のスカイダイビング！！本当に最高の経験でした！
友人と一緒に行ったのですが、ビデオが回っておらず、飛んでいる写真がなかったのが残念ですが、良い経験でした！

Last year, my daughter and I participated for the first time, and it was amazing, so this time we joined with my wife's 85-year-old father and her sister, making a group of four.

First, during the test, my wife's father and sister dropped out, which was disappointing. However, they took care of us while we were on the jeep, and my wife's sister was very happy. My wife's father was quite regretful, but considering safety, it was probably for the best. In a way, I recommend it to everyone. That said, I regretted the shortened course due to the sudden rain. I will try again.

昨年の娘と夫婦で参加した初回は、最高だったので今回 嫁の父85歳と嫁の妹と自分たちの4名で参加しました。
まずは、TEST で嫁の父&嫁の妹が脱落してしまいガッカリ。
でもジープに乗せて色々ケアーしていただき嫁の妹は、とても喜んでいました。
嫁の父は、かなり悔しがってましたが安全を考えると仕方ないかな。ある意味みんなにオススメです。とはいえ途中スコールでコースショートが悔やまれ。また挑戦します。
