All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

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。

Do it! You'll love it! Unique experience and worth it.

Unfortunately, it was raining down below, and when we had an early dinner, we ate our bento in the drizzle, but the teriyaki chicken and the miso soup we were given were very delicious. When we reached the summit, the wind was very strong, and the warm clothing we borrowed was very helpful.

During the stargazing, what impressed me the most was seeing the Ocean Entry glowing red. The Southern Cross was also clearly visible. It's a shame that we couldn't see many stars due to the weather, but I was thrilled just to witness the beautiful sunset. Thank you very much. Later, when I took a helicopter tour over Kīlauea Volcano, seeing the incredible steam rising from Ocean Entry made me feel even more moved, realizing that I had seen this from Mauna Kea. I appreciate the guide from Okinawa. It was a lot of fun.

下界は生憎雨が降っていて、早めの夕食取るときは霧雨の中お弁当食べましたが、照り焼きチキンと入れていただいた味噌汁がとてもおいしかったです。山頂に登るととても風が強く、貸していただいた防寒着がとても役立ちました。
星空観察時に何と言ってもオーシャンエントリーが赤く見えたことが印象的でした。南十字星もはっきり見えました。天候のせいで星がたくさん見れなかったことが残念ですが、美しいサンセット見れただけで感激です。ありがとうございました。後日ヘリツアーでキラウエア火山の上空見たときにオーシャンエントリーの立ち上るものすごい水蒸気みて、マウナケア山からこれが見れたんだなーと感激ひとしおでした。沖縄出身のガイドさんお世話になりました。楽しかったです。

When inexperienced riders go horseback riding in Japan, there are often people pulling the reins beside them, but here, the ranch staff leads the way on horseback, forming a line and taking about 1.5 hours to tour the ranch. There were many amusing incidents, such as the horses bumping into each other, starting to eat grass, and needing to relieve themselves, which made it enjoyable. Among the six customers, we were the only Japanese.

日本で未経験者が乗馬となると、オーバルコースで横に手綱を引く人がいたり、だと思いますが、ここでは牧場スタッフが騎乗した馬を先頭に、隊列を組んで1.5時間かけて牧場内を回ります。
乗馬した馬同士でどつきあったり、草を食べ始めたり、用をたしたりのハプニングが多数あって、楽しめました。
6人のお客のうち、日本人は私達だけでした。

The weather was changeable with rain coming and going. It was a two-hour course, but we could see both the mountains and the sea, which was very beautiful. However, there was only one shuttle bus, and everyone had to gather at 7 AM for both the 9 AM and 11 AM courses, resulting in a lot of waiting time after arriving on site.

雨が降ったりやんだりで天気が変わりやすい中でした。2時間コースでしたが山も海もみれてとても綺麗でした。ただ送迎のバスが一台で、9時台のコースも11時台のコースもみんな7時集合、現地に着いてからの待ち時間が多かったです。

I was anxious about my first fishing trip abroad, but the pickup van was easy to identify as it was blue, just like the tour company's name, and the crew were really nice people.

We only caught one fish, but we enjoyed the experience enough while cruising and admiring Diamond Head. By the way, there were others around us who caught two or three fish or more.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again.

初めての海外での釣りで、ピックアップから不安でしたが、ピックアップのバンはツアー会社の名前通りブルーのバンで分かりやすく、クルーも良い人たちでした。

魚は私たちは１匹しか釣れませんでしたが、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらのクルージング感覚で十分楽しめました。ちなみに周りは２～３匹以上釣ってる人もいました。

次回もハワイに行く機会があればまた参加したいです。

This was a highlight of my time on Kauai. The tour was fun and entertaining. Between the tour guides the two swimming spots, the ATV trail and the beautiful lands of the ranch this is definitely a must do when on the island.

I had been to the North Shore several times by rental car, but this time I joined the tour because some members were anxious about driving and I wanted to try beach horseback riding.

We left our hotel in Waikiki a little after 8 AM and returned by 3:30 PM, making it a convenient plan. Our driver guide, Hiro, provided a wealth of local information along the way and took us to various hidden gems, making for a fulfilling tour that I was very satisfied with!

For horseback riding, I got to ride well-trained horses and we strolled for just under an hour through the beach and forest. The weather was great, and we were able to enjoy a leisurely flow of time.

ノースショアは何回かレンタカーで行ってはいましたが、今回は運転に不安なメンバーだったのと海辺乗馬にもトライしたくて、このツアーに参加しました。
朝８時過ぎにワイキキのホテルを出て３時半にはホテルに戻る時間的にも楽なプランで、ドライバーガイドのヒロさんが、道中でも現地でもローカル情報を盛りだくさん折り込んで次々と穴場へ連れて行って下さり、凝縮されたツアーに大満足でした！
乗馬はしっかり調教された馬達に乗せてもらいビーチや森林を1時間弱散歩。天気も良くゆったりと流れる時間を過ごす事ができました。

I was worried about how to fill out the documents handed to me when getting on the bus, but as long as I understood the content, it turned out to be surprisingly easy. There was one person in charge who could speak Japanese, and they answered all my questions.

The #1 tacos sold from the van ($5) were incredibly delicious! We shared one that was cut in half.

Before and right after getting on the helicopter, I was really anxious, but as we gained altitude, the scenery became so beautiful that my worries disappeared. While flying, I could only think of words like "amazing!" and "beautiful!" It was my husband's suggestion, so I wasn't too keen on it at first, but I'm really glad we did it!

バスに乗る時に渡された書類はどうやって書けばいいのか心配でしたが、内容さえ理解していれば意外と適当で大丈夫でした(笑)
案内の方1人だけ、日本語が話せる方がいて色々わからない事は聞いたら答えてくれます♪
ワゴン車で売っている、#1のタコス？($5)がすごく美味しかった！！切ってもらって1個を2人でシェアしました^ ^

ヘリに乗る前と乗った直後はすごく不安でしたが、高度が上がるにつれて景色がすごく綺麗で不安もどこかへいってました。
飛んでる時は最高！綺麗！という言葉しか出なかったです！
夫の提案だったので、あまり乗り気ではなかったけど本当にやってによかったです♪

Last time I was stopped by the tour company and couldn't do it, so this time I arranged it myself! After watching the video several times, I was able to dive without hesitation. I'm grateful to the instructor for the wonderful experience I had. ^_^

前回はツアー会社に止められて出来なかったので、今回は体験したく個人手配しました！何度かビデオを見てからトライしたので躊躇せずダイブ出来ました、何とも素晴らしい体験が出来た事をインストラクターに感謝します^_^

It was completely different from when I flew in Guam; it was quite sudden, but it had a great atmosphere, and I got really into it. The flight time was long, and I was able to calmly enjoy the scenery. My sister-in-law, who came with me, was experiencing it for the first time and was really moved.

グァム島で飛んだ時と全然違った、けっこう行きなりだったけど、それが雰囲気あって、ノリノリになりました。滞空時間も長かったし、落ち着いて景色を楽しみました。一緒に行った義妹は初めてでしたがムチャ感動してました(^ω^)。

My first skydiving experience.
The dream of flying in the sky, even just once, has come true.
The weather was great, making it a perfect memory.
The instructor and the cameraman who jumped with me were wonderful people. Although I'm usually not good with heights, I wasn't scared at all.
They made the freefall filming exciting, and it was a fun dive.
I thought it would be cold at 4,000 meters, so I wore an undershirt, but it turned out to be unnecessary; it seems it's better not to wear one.
If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to jump again.

初めてのスカイダイビング。
一度でいいから空を飛んでみたかった夢が叶いました。
天気も良くて最高の思い出になりました。
一緒に飛んでくれたインストラクターもカメラマンもいい人、ほんとは高いところが苦手な私ですが全くこわくなかった。
フリーフォール中の撮影を盛り上げてくれて楽しいダイビングでした。
4,000m上空は寒いかとアンダーシャツを着ましたが不要、着ない方がいいみたいです。
また機会があれば是非飛んでみたいですね。

I participated with my wife.
The location is quite far out on the North Shore, so renting a car is essential.
We don't use Uber, so I'm not sure how frequently it operates in the area.

There were seven participants, including us.
We were the only two Japanese people.

After checking in, there was a briefing for about five minutes, and then we got right on the horses.
The check-in and briefing were all in English, but the content was simple.
It included instructions like which way to pull the reins to steer and to stand up when the horse needs to relieve itself.
Even if you can't catch everything in English, you'll receive a printed notice in Japanese at the beginning, so as long as you memorize that, you'll be fine.

Now, regarding the horseback riding experience, after riding a bit on the ranch, we took a course along the beach.
Since it was along the beach, there was quite a bit of dust kicked up by the horses, and depending on the wind direction, it could get pretty white in front of you.
However, the view of the North Shore from the horse's back was extraordinary and the best part of the experience.

At the rest point, the guide took a lot of photos, leaving us with many memories of the trip.
We were lucky enough to see a rainbow, but unfortunately, the sunset wasn't very beautiful due to a lot of clouds. The guide also mentioned that it was disappointing, but clouds can't be controlled (laughs).

We returned to the office at 7:30 PM.
We were on horseback for a full hour and a half.
Although the accessibility from Waikiki isn't great, the special experience of riding along the beach is something you can't find elsewhere.

As of June 16, 2018, when I printed the voucher from Veltra, it mentioned that the parking lot was at the far left of the arena after entering the main gate, and that the gate should be closed after entering. However, in reality, the entrance to the horseback riding check-in office was at the next gate without entering the main gate.

妻と参加しました。
場所はノースショアのかなり外れの方にあるのでレンタカー必須です。
私たちはUberを使っていないのでこの近辺でUberがどの程度走っているのかはわかりません。

私たち含めて参加者は7名。
日本人は私たち2名だけでした。

受付をすませて時間になると5分程度のブリーフィングを行なってすぐに馬に乗り込みます。
なお受付、ブリーフィングは全て英語ですが簡単な内容です。
方向を決めるには手綱をどっちに引けとか、馬が用をたす時は立てだとか。
またもし英語が聞けそうになくても最初に日本語の注意書きのプリントを渡されるのでその内容を覚えてしまえば大丈夫です。

さて肝心の乗馬体験は牧場敷地を少し乗った後ビーチ沿いのコースを乗りました。ビーチ沿いなので馬が歩くとかなり砂埃が舞うので風向きによっては結構目の前が真っ白なんて事もありました。
でも馬の背からみるノースショアの景色は非日常感を味わえて最高でした。

休憩ポイントではガイドさんが写真をたくさん撮ってくださり旅の思い出がたくさん残りました。
私たちは運良く虹を見ることができましたが、夕日については残念ながら雲が沢山あったのであまり綺麗ではありませんでした。こればかりはガイドさんも残念だけど雲はコントロールできないと言ってました(笑)

オフィスに帰ってきたのは19時30分。
なんとたっぷり1時間30分も馬の背に乗ってました。
ワイキキからのアクセス性が悪いけど、ビーチ沿いを乗馬できるという特別感は他ではなかなか味わえないと思います。

ベルトラさんのバウチャーをプリントした2018/6/16現在、駐車場はメインゲートを入って競技場を左端まで行ったところ、更にゲートは入場後閉めてくださいと記載されていましたが、実際はメインゲートを入らずに次のゲートまで車を走らせたところの入り口(ゲート無し)が乗馬受付オフィスでした。

I was really happy to see a lot of rainbows on the way, and it felt like I was being welcomed! Since it was close to a full moon, if you want to see more stars, you might want to go around the new moon for a better experience! Anyway, the colors of the sky were truly wonderful, and it was a fantastic tour! Yamapi had a lot of knowledge, so it was really enjoyable not just talking about celestial bodies but also other topics!

行く道中にたくさん虹も見れて、迎えられている気がして、すごく嬉しかったです！
満月近かったので、より星を見たい方は新月あたりにいくと、もっとたくさん星を見れるかもしれません！とにかく空の色が本当に素敵でとても良いツアーでした！ヤマピーさんもたくさん知識をお持ちだったので、天体のお話以外もすごく楽しかったです！

Since I turned sixty, I had the feeling that I needed to fly early, so this time became the best challenge for me. Jumping from the Cessna wasn't scary, but the immediate turn afterward surprised me. However, Instructor B2 operated the skydiving smoothly, so I was able to land without worry. I didn't expect to feel airsick after landing, but the joy of having flown outweighed that.

還暦過ぎたころから　早めに　空を飛ばなきゃ　という思いでいましたので
今回は　最高のチャレンジになりました。
セスナからの飛び降りは怖くなかったのですが、直後の旋回はびっくりしたました。　しかし、インストラクーのB2さんが空中遊泳を操作してくれたので
心配なく着陸できました。　着陸後に空酔いが待っていようとは予想しませんでしたが、それより　空を飛べた喜びのほうが勝りました。

The weather can be unpredictable, but we were lucky enough to see a beautiful sunset and the Milky Way at the right time. We were able to take plenty of photos, which we received for free. The volcanic eruption added to the experience, making it truly wonderful.

天候に左右されますが、タイミングよく綺麗なサンセット、天の川を見ることが出来ました。
写真をいっぱい撮ってもらえました、無料で貰えます。
火山の噴火もかさなり、素晴らしい体験が出来ました。

They missed 4 strikes. Horrible trip. So bad we were able to catch up on sleep.

The sunset near the summit of Mauna Kea and the stargazing a little lower down were incredibly beautiful and moving.

I heard that the stars are more visible when the moon is not out, but when we participated, the moon was present. However, we enjoyed observing the moon through a telescope, so it was still a great experience.

Additionally, our guide shared insights that only someone living on the Big Island would know, which was helpful for our trip. 😊

マウナケア頂上付近からの夕日と、そこから少し下った場所での星空観察はとても綺麗で感動しました。

星空は月が出ない方が空が暗くて星が綺麗に見えるとのことでしたが、私たちが参加した時は月が出てました。ただ、それはそれで月を望遠鏡で観察させてもらうなど楽しめました。

また、ガイドさんがハワイ島に暮らしているからこそわかるような情報を教えてくれたりして、それも旅行の役に立ちました(^^)

Before horseback riding, I had an early lunch of garlic shrimp. BIG WAVE is far from the meeting point near Matsumoto Shave Ice, so I had to finish lunch within an hour while exploring Haleiwa Town, which made for a rather rushed meal. It was good that it wasn't crowded, but it took some time for the order to be ready, and I wished I could have taken a bit more time.

The horseback riding felt relaxed as I enjoyed the view of the ocean. I was able to see a sea turtle sleeping on the beach during the ride.

乗馬の前に早めのランチでガーリックシュリンプを食べました。BIG　WAVEは集合場所のマツモトシェイブアイス付近から遠いためハレイワタウン散策１時間でランチを済まして集合は時間的に厳しくかなりあわただしい食事になりました。空いていたからよかったけど、注文してできあがるまで時間もかかるしもう少し時間をとれればなあと思いました。
乗馬は海を眺めながらのんびりという感じでした。乗馬中に浜辺で寝ているウミガメ見れました。

I had a horseback riding experience in Japan as well, and I signed up for a 2-hour course that took us through the forest, over hills, and along the coast. The horses were well-trained, and we moved slowly at a walk, which made it really enjoyable to take in the scenery while riding. I would love to participate again next time.

日本でも乗馬体験していましたが、森？を抜けて丘を越えて海沿いを進んで帰ってくる2時間コースを申し込みました。
よく調教されていて、ゆっくりゆっくり常歩で進むので景色を観ながらの乗馬は本当に楽しかったです。
また次回参加したいです。

Fantastic Family excursion. Had a blast winding back into the Jurassic Valley backdrop and seeing numerous movie sets.

The planned day was canceled due to strong winds, but I was able to reschedule over the phone the next day! I was worried about the light rain that day, but after waiting for about five hours, we finally took off, and it was an amazing experience! I got a little dizzy, but it was a lot of fun and a great memory! You can decide whether to purchase the video and photos after seeing them! The grandpa who spoke Japanese was fun and a nice person. Thank you very much!

予定していた日は強風の為中止になってしまいましたが、次の日に電話で変更してもらいました！その日は小雨で心配でしたが5時間ほど待ってようやく飛び、最高の体験が出来ました！
少し酔ってしまいましたが、とても楽しい思い出です！ビデオと写真は見てから購入するか決められます！日本語を話すおじいちゃんが楽しくていい人でした^ ^ありがとうございました！

There were young Japanese women and men in the same group, and I wondered if they even drive in Japan because they were driving so slowly! They could only go about 4 to 5 kilometers per hour. During the briefing, they said that those who couldn't drive should refrain from participating! Right after we started, another staff member came and began leading the slow couple in front of us. The people following us sped off with other staff. When we tried to keep up, we were stopped because we were treated the same as the other Japanese participants. However, the speed never increased. It felt like we were only going as fast as walking. We didn't experience the joy of driving a four-wheeler at all. I was looking forward to it, but it was the worst. I want my money back.

同じグループに日本人の若い女性と男性がいたのですが、日本でも運転してないのか？と思うぐらい運転が遅い！4～5キロぐらいしか出せない。
説明時に、運転が無理と思われる方はやめていただきますと言っていたのに！
走り出してすぐに、他のスタッフが来てその遅いカップルの前に入って引率しはじめました。
私たちの後続の人たちは、他のスタッフとスピードを上げて出ていきました。私たちもそれについて行こうとすると止められました。同じ日本人ということで同じにされました。
しかし、終始スピードは上がらずです。まるで歩いているような速度しか出せません。
四輪バギーの良さがまったくありませんでした。
楽しみにしていたのに最低。お金おを返してほしいです。

I was able to enjoy horseback riding in a magnificent natural setting that you can't experience in Japan. It was my first time riding, but the horses were well-trained, and there were no particular issues.

日本では体験できないような大自然の中で乗馬を満喫することができました。乗馬自体は初めてでしたが、馬もよく調教されており、特に問題になることはありませんでした。

I decided to go skydiving with my friend and booked it here. Waking up early was tough, but the weather was great on the day, and both the instructor and the cameraman had a sense of humor, helping to ease our nerves. The view during the dive was stunning, with beautiful ocean scenery and a clear sight for miles—it was the best time. Watching the video with the friends I shared the Cessna with after the dive was also fun and filled with laughter. It was a truly wonderful experience.

ツレとスカイダイビングを絶対しようと決めてこちらでお願いしました。朝早いのはしんどかったですが、当日は天気も良くインストラクターもカメラマンもユーモアがあり、緊張を和らげようと接してくれます。ダイビング中の眺めは海がキレイで遠くまで見渡せて最高の時間でした。ダイビング後に一緒のセスナだった仲間とのビデオ鑑賞も笑ありで楽しかったです。大変良い経験をさせていただけました。

Everything about this adventure was so incredible! Kipu Ranch is an amazing ranch with an incredible amount of territory to explore! We saw some marvelous sights while covering some exciting terrain (such a perfect combo for a couple consisting of one who likes to hike and one who doesn't; but loves motorcycles/ off-road vehicles).
The employees at the ranch were all kind and helpful. Definitely want to give a huge shout out to our guides; Joshua and Marlin!! They really make this experience special! It was like exploring this new and gorgeous region with a couple of your close friends, They were so kind and considerate of each individual in the group. I especially enjoyed hearing some back-story of this incredible place and the people who made such an impact.
Safety was top notch. Treats were delicious. This adventure left both my husband and I overjoyed!! Thank you so much, Kipu Ranch, for a quality tour/adventure and true ~Aloha~ hospitality and kindness! It really made our trip special!

I'm glad I requested the photo shoot. I'm still moved when I look at the photos and videos after returning home. The diving partner and the filming staff really boosted the mood.

写真撮影を依頼してよかったです。
帰ってからも写真やビデオを観て感動しています。
ダイビングパートナと撮影スタッフが気分を盛り上げてくれました。

The driver provided explanations in Japanese throughout the journey to the location. The waiver seemed to be a direct translation from English, which made me a bit uneasy about the explanation, but since I had to sign it to be able to fly, I felt there was no choice.

Once we arrived, we received instructions from the instructor in both English and some Japanese (words), which was manageable. However, the training was not comprehensive; it only covered a few points of caution and explanations of body positions during takeoff, in the air, and landing. I was left wondering if that was really all we needed.

The instructor was very kind, and I felt no anxiety. There was also a handsome instructor! When jumping from the plane, it happens in an instant without any chance to hesitate. After taking off, it seems that the services and flying styles during free fall and parachute descent vary greatly depending on the instructor. I was even allowed to operate the parachute!

There were many Japanese participants, which made it easy to bond with others and was very reassuring. We also booked a photographer, and everyone enjoyed watching the video together, which was a lot of fun!

You can see all of Oahu and truly recognize that the Earth is round! This experience offers unforgettable memories that you can't have in Japan, so I highly recommend participating!

現地までの間ドライバー、ビデオにて終始日本語で説明がありました。誓約書は英語を直訳してあるようで説明に不安がありましたが、やるからにはサインしなくては飛べないので仕方ない感じです。

現地に着いてからは、インストラクターから英語、日本語(単語)で講習を受けますがなんとかなります。ただ、ビデオでもインストラクターでも講習という講習ではなく注意点を何点かと、飛ぶ時、飛んでる時、着陸時の体勢の説明だけです、ほんとにこれだけでいいの？って感じです。

インストラクターはとても優しく不安もありませんでした。またイケメンインストラクターもいます！飛行機から飛ぶ時は有無を言わせず一瞬です。飛んでからはインストラクターによってフリーフォール時、パラシュートフォール時のサービスや飛び方は全く違うみたいです。私はパラシュートを操作させてくれました！

日本人の参加者も多いので現地で仲良くもなり、何より心強いです。カメラマンも予約し、日本人みんなでビデオ鑑賞をしましたがかなりたのしいです！

オアフ島が一望でき、地球が丸いことを認識できます！日本では味わえない最高の思い出ができますので、ぜひ参加してみてください！

This Zipline Adventure is fun family activity. It did not fulfill the adrenaline rush I was hoping for, but definitely a good experience!

I finally fulfilled my long-held dream of going skydiving!

Since it starts very early in the morning, be careful not to oversleep. We gathered around 5 AM.

On the day of the jump, it took about an hour by bus from Honolulu.

There were about a dozen tandem skydivers, and it seemed like they were continuously preparing for the next jump after each dive, so I think they probably do around ten jumps a day.

You receive instructions on the correct posture for diving and landing, so as long as you follow those carefully, I don't think there are many dangers.

The scariest part was probably signing the waiver that states they take no responsibility for anything that happens, haha.

念願叶ってスカイダイビングを決行！

とても朝が早いので、寝坊の注意が必要です。５時前後くらいに集合でした。
当日はホノルルからバスに揺られて１時間。

タンデムのスカイダイバーは、１０数名の方がいらっしゃいますが、飛んでは次の準備を繰り返しているようで、おそらく１日に１０本くらい飛んでいらっしゃるのでは無いかと思います。

最初にダイブする際の姿勢や着陸時の姿勢など注意を受けますので、それをしっかり守っていれば危険はあまりないと思います。

もっとも怖かったのは、何があっても責任を負いませんという誓約書にチェックを入れていくところですかね笑
