I had the best experience. The bus driver was fluent in Japanese and explained the important points in Japanese, but the local instructor was just an American, so he hardly understood Japanese. I think it would be more enjoyable to communicate if I could speak some simple English.
Also, if you don't want to bring valuables and leave your cards at the hotel, you won't have any money when you want to take videos or photos while diving. There are lockers and an ATM, so it's better to bring a card that can withdraw cash or have more dollars with you.
After the drop, my face stiffened for about two seconds, but after that, I could smile widely. It was truly amazing. I definitely want to jump here again when I go to Hawaii.
最高の体験ができました。
バスの運転手さんは日本語がペラペラで、注意事項等も日本語で教えてくれますが、現地のインストラクターさんは普通にアメリカ人なのでほぼ日本語が通じません。簡単な英会話ができたらもっと楽しくコミュニケーションが取れると思います。
あと貴重品を持って行きたくないが為にカード類までホテルへ置いてくると、ダイビング時にビデオや写真を撮ってもらいたくなったときのお金がどうにもなりません。
ロッカーとATMがあるので現金を引き出せるカードか、ドルを多めに持っていったほうが良いです。
落下後2秒はさすがに顔が強張りますが、あとはもう全開の笑顔でいられます。本当に最高でした。
またハワイに行ったら絶対ここで飛びたいです

Since it's well-trained, just riding is enough. Two and a half hours is just right—not too short and not too long. The reins are held with one hand, unlike in Japan. (Using both hands when changing direction is smoother.) You can take photos freely. (It might be safer to have a strap attached in case you drop your phone.) Jumpers and boots are available for free rental, but you might not need them if the weather is good.
よく調教されてるので騎乗してるだけでいい。
2時間半だと短すぎず長すぎず丁度良い。
手綱は日本と違い片手持ち。
(向きを変えるときは両手スタイルのがスムーズ)
写メは各自自由にできます。
(落としたらまずいのでヒモ付きだと安心かも)
ジャンパー、ブーツは無料レンタルできますが天候が良ければ必要ないかも

I went horseback riding for the first time in Hawaii, and the staff were very kind, and the horses were adorable. The beach was less crowded, allowing me to enjoy a different atmosphere compared to Waikiki, which was great. There was also a photo time, and I was able to take some wonderful pictures.

The weather wasn't perfectly clear, but my first experience riding on the beach was absolutely wonderful. The horse was very trusting of people, so I felt comfortable riding even without any riding skills. The dog at the club was very cute.
The reason I didn't give it a 5-star rating is that I was told the riding time would be 90 minutes, but it ended up being just under 80 minutes. Also, the club's restroom was clogged, and I couldn't use it beforehand.
Other than that, it was a very good experience.

馬はとても人を信頼していて、乗馬スキルがなくても安心して乗ることが出来ました。クラブにいた犬がとても可愛かったです。

I participated in a four-wheel buggy (5-seater, marked as "Raptor" on local signs). My friend, who joined me, had a reservation for a single-seater buggy at the same time, but our tour groups were separate. We used the Uber app to get from Waikiki to the site, which cost about $50 and took around 50 minutes. There is a food court where you can have lunch and a gift shop, so arriving early is reassuring.
The activity itself started after an explanation in English and watching a Japanese operation manual DVD. We put on helmets, sunglasses, and paper masks, then formed a line to begin the tour. Driving was easy, and I was surprised by the power of the KAWASAKI buggy. It seems there can be a hit or miss with the tour groups and guides. My friend's group, which was separate, went too slowly, making the buggy experience pointless for them. However, the male guide in my group was great with jokes and allowed us to experience the unique driving style of the buggy.
Especially impressive was the video shooting service at the Jurassic Park filming location, which was unique to this male guide. Since there are no windows, you will get covered in dust, so it's best to avoid wearing white and to dress in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
4輪バギー(5人乗りで現地の看板ではラプターと標記)に参加しました。一緒に行った友人は、1人乗りバギーで同時刻の予約でしたが、ツアーグループは別々でした。ワイキキ付近から現地までの交通手段はウーバーアプリを利用し50$程度50分ぐらいでした。ランチが食べられるフードコートとギフトショップがあり早めの到着でも安心です。アクティビティ自体は英語での説明と日本語の操作マニュアルDVDをみた後、ヘルメットとサングラス、紙マスクをつけて隊列を組んでツアー開始。運転は簡単。KAWASAKI製のバギーの力強さにびっくりしました。ツアーグループとガイドさんに当りはずれがあるようです。一緒に行き別グループで参加した友人のところはゆっくりすぎてバギーの意味がなかったと。。。私の参加したグループの男性ガイドはジョークも達者で、走行もバギーならではの走りを体験させてくれました。特にこの男性ガイドならではのジュラシックパークのロケ地での動画撮影のサービスがすごくよかったです。
窓がないので砂けむりをモロにかぶります。白い服装は避け、汚れてもよい恰好で参加するのがよいです

In 2018, it seemed like the weather was unpredictable, and I was worried about whether I would be able to see the sunset and starry sky.
At 15:35, we were picked up from the hotel, and according to our cheerful guide, Kon, the previous day had bad weather, but the area near the summit of Mauna Kea above the cloud sea had clear blue skies. Lucky!!!
We were able to see a beautiful sunset! Our guide, Kon, took several wonderful photos of us, a group of eight, along with a newlywed couple, with the sunset in the background. Everyone was having a great time posing for pictures.
After that, we moved to a different location for stargazing. Since it was quite windy, they made a windbreak with the car, which was thoughtful. Good job! The day we participated was about two days after the full moon, so the moon rose a little later, allowing us to see the starry sky. We could also see the Southern Cross. Additionally, we were able to see the sky glowing red from the distant eruption of Kilauea. It was a unique experience.
And then the moon rose. It felt like it was the brightest moon I had ever seen. To enjoy stargazing, it’s best to avoid the full moon. It would be wise to check the moon phases before making a reservation.
Of course, taking photos with the starry sky in the background requires a good camera; otherwise, the stars won’t show up. Kon shared his wonderful knowledge about the stars and explained everything in a fun way while using a pointer. The guiding beyond just the starry sky was also excellent.
Whether you can enjoy an activity tour largely depends on the guide. In my personal opinion, Kon was really great.
Since all the participants were from the same hotel, we were able to return to the hotel earlier than expected. I think we arrived around 22:45.
On the day we participated, it was quite windy near the summit, but the temperature was higher than usual, so I was fine with just a trainer and a light down jacket from Uniqlo, along with the jacket and pants borrowed from the tour company. I did use a portable hand warmer just in case. (The portable hand warmer needs to be taken out of the bag below to warm up, as Kon advised.)
I think I got a bit too excited at the summit, as I had a slight headache on the way back. (It didn’t get too bad.) I realized that it can happen on the way back too.
I thoroughly enjoyed the nature of the Big Island. I highly recommend this tour. Next time, I plan to go see the sunrise.
It was a very good experience. Thank you, guide Kon!
2018年今年は、天候が不順のようで、夕陽と星空が見られるか心配しながらの参加でした。
15:35ホテルピックアップ、明るいガイドのコンちゃんの話によると、前日は悪天候だったとのことでしたが、雲海の上のマウナケア山頂付近はクリアな青空でした。ラッキー!!!
きれいな夕陽をみることができました!ガイドのコンちゃんは、夕陽をバックに友人と二人参加の私達、8人グループ、新婚さんと、それぞれの素敵な写真を何枚も撮ってくれました。みんな大はしゃぎでポーズをとってました。
その後、場所を移動して星空観察。風が強かったので、車で風よけを作ってくれる配慮。Good Job! 参加した日が満月の翌々日くらいで、月が昇る時間が少し遅くなっていたので、星空を見ることができました。南十字星も見えました。そして、遠くにキラウエアの噴火で赤く染まる空を見ることもできました。今ならではですね。
そして、月が昇るのも。こんなに明るい月は、初めてのような気がします。
星空をみるには、満月を避けたいですね。事前に月の満ち欠けを調べてから、申し込みをした方が良いですね。
もちろん、星空をバックに写真撮影、好感度のカメラでないと星は写りませんね。
コンちゃんは、星空の素晴らしい知識で、ポインターを使いながら楽しく説明をしてくれました。星空以外のガイドもすごく良かったです。
アクティビティツアーを楽しめるかは、ガイドさんによるところが大きいです。私の個人的な意見ですが...コンちゃんは、すごく良かったです。
今回の参加メンバーは、全員が同じホテルだったこともあり、ホテルに戻るのが思っていたより早く帰ることができました。
22:45くらいには、着いていたと思います。
私たちが参加した日は、頂上付近は風が強かったですが、気温はいつもより高かったので、トレナーとユニクロのライトダウンに、ツアー会社で借りた上着とズボンで大丈夫でした。一応、携帯カイロは使いました。(携帯カイロは、下で袋から出さないと温かくならないそうです。コンちゃんアドバイスあり)
私は、頂上ではしゃぎ過ぎたせいか、帰路で少し頭が痛くなりました。(ひどくはなりませんでした)帰りでもあるんだなと思いました。
ハワイ島の自然を満喫できました。お薦めツアーです。次回は、日の出を見に行こうと思います。
とても良い経験が、できました。
ガイドのコンちゃん、ありがとうございました!

It was absolutely amazing! You can enjoy an unknown experience and breathtaking views. During the car ride there, we only watched a simple video, and there was no special training. Once we arrived and dropped off our bags, we were called quite quickly, so there wasn't much time to mentally prepare. However, as long as you pay attention to the simple things that don't require training, you'll be fine. The diving was truly fantastic, so I highly recommend it!
The only downside was the shuttle driver. I would give this part one star... An elderly Japanese man came to pick us up, but we couldn't communicate well. It didn't work out in either Japanese or English. I felt nothing but anxiety regarding this man. Despite that, he asked for a tip on the way back, which left me feeling really disappointed. Other guests who were with us said the same thing. Aside from this, it was truly a wonderful experience, so I'm glad about that.
I hope that when I go to Hawaii again, there will be improvements regarding the shuttle service.
とっても最高でした^^未知な体験と絶景をたのしめます。行きの車の中で簡単なビデオを観るだけで、特に講習等はないです。着いて荷物置いたらけっこうすぐ呼ばれたので心の準備をする時間がありませんでした。でも講習等が必要ないくらい簡単なことに気を付ければOKです^^ダイビングは本当に最高だったので、ぜひおすすめです!!
残念なのは送迎ドライバー。これに関しては★1つです…。日本人のおじいちゃんが迎えに来るのですが、意思疎通があまりできませんでした。日本語でも英語でもだめ。このおじいちゃんに関しては不安しかありませんでした。それなのに、帰り際にチップを自ら要求してきて、本当に残念な気持ちになりました。一緒になった他のお客さんも同じことを言っていました。これを除けば本当に素晴らしい体験ができたので良かったです^^
またハワイに行った際はまたやりたいので、送迎に関して改善されていることを願います。

- Toilet break at Dole Plantation → There is hardly any time. If you're going to eat ice cream, it seems good to share one among 3 to 4 people.
- Free time in Haleiwa. I received a map with points of interest, which made sightseeing easier. I strolled around and had garlic shrimp, and before I knew it, time flew by. You can be dropped off at your favorite spot, but you have to walk back to the meeting place at Matsumoto Shave Ice, so it’s difficult if it’s too far.
- It seems they recommend shrimp from Camaron, and they take orders for that in advance. Giovanni may not open as scheduled and has long lines, so it might be difficult to eat there.
- For horseback riding, it seems that sneakers are necessary to communicate commands to the horse, and I was warned when I went in flip-flops. However, the horses are well-trained, so there wasn't any particular problem.
- If you don't go with a shoulder bag or a small backpack, there is no place to leave valuables. There are no lockers, and you can't go empty-handed with just your phone. It might be good if you can wear it around your neck. Selfie sticks are also not allowed.
・ドールプランテーションでトイレ休憩→ほぼ時間はありません。アイスを食べるなら3〜4人で1つで良さそう。
・ハレイワでフリータイム
見所を記載した地図を貰えたので観光しやすかったです。
ブラブラしてガーリックシュリンプを食べたらあっという間でした。
好きな場所で降ろしてもらえるのですが、集合場所のマツモトシェイブアイスまで歩いて戻らないといけないのであまり遠いと難しいです。
・エビはカマロン推しのようで、そこだけは予め注文を取ってくれます。ジョバンニは予定通りに開くとは限らないのと行列なので食べるのは難しいかもしれません。
・乗馬はスニーカーでないと馬へ指示が伝わりにくいようで、ビーサンで行ったら注意されました。ですがよく飼いならされた馬なので特に問題なかったです。
・ショルダーバッグや小さめのリュックで行かないと、貴重品を預けるところはありません。ロッカーもないし、手ぶらで携帯だけを持っていく、ということも出来ません。首から下げられるといいかも。セルカ棒もNGです。

Last May, I participated in the Sunrise stargazing tour and had such a great time that this time, I joined the Sunset & Stargazing tour for my honeymoon trip. This year, I was worried because the weather on the ground was not very clear, possibly due to the effects of the Kilauea volcano a month ago, but the area near the summit was a completely different world! The sunset was perfect, with the sunlight reflecting off the clouds, creating a bright red sky. During the stargazing, as time went on, the sky filled with countless stars! The guide was very unique and fun, making the experience very enjoyable! By the way, it’s a good idea to check the moonrise time when choosing between sunset or sunrise for stargazing.
I hope to participate again next time. Thank you!

This was my second trip to Hawaii, and I decided to challenge myself by booking a skydiving experience that I had been curious about since my last visit.
A Japanese gentleman picked me up at the hotel at 5:10 AM, and he was such a fun person that I didn't feel sleepy at all during the drive to the North Shore. Once we arrived, the atmosphere was very lively, and it turned out to be quite different from what I expected, thinking it would be all in English.
While waiting for my turn, I was able to relax in the beautiful weather. The instructor primarily spoke English, but he understood us and gave instructions like "squat," "raise your hands," and "lift your legs," so I was able to enjoy the experience without any worries.
Before taking off, I did feel some fear, but once we jumped, all I felt was exhilaration and high energy. After this experience, I really want everyone to try it.
Also, after the parachute opened, we descended while spinning several times. Therefore, I recommend getting plenty of sleep the night before and taking motion sickness medication. I went without both, and I couldn't recover for half a day afterward.
今回2回目のハワイで、前回から気になっていたスカイダイビングに事前に予約を入れて挑戦してきました。
朝5時10分にホテルに来て頂いた送迎の日本人の紳士が非常に楽しい方で、ノースショアまでの道中全然眠たくなりませんでした。また到着してからも非常に軽快で、英語しかないと思っていた状況が全然違いました。
順番を待っている間も最高の天気の中でゆったりと過ごせました。
インストラクターの方も基本的には英語ですが、スクワット(しゃがむ)や、手を上げて、足を上げてなど私たちのことを理解して指示してくれるのでまったく気にすることなく楽しめました。
上空は、到着するまでは恐怖感もありましたが、飛んだあとは爽快感とハイテンションのみでした。
今回の体験をして、ぜひともみなさんにも体験してほしいです。
またパラシュートが開いた後は降下するために何度も回転しながら下りていきます。そのため前日の充分な睡眠と、酔い止め薬をおすすめします。
私は、両方せずに臨んでしまったので、そのあと半日復活できませんでした。

I was worried about the weather being cloudy on the day and whether we would be able to observe the stars, but after arriving at the Onizuka Center, the clouds cleared, and we were able to see the sunset and Maui Island. As it got dark, the main stargazing experience was the best memory, something I can't experience in Japan. The outflow from Kilauea Volcano to the sea was also clearly visible. I brought my digital SLR and tripod, so I was able to take many photos of the stars (which can't be captured with a smartphone camera or digital camera). The driver will take some photos for you, so it's okay if you don't have a DSLR. I participated this time with my daughter, but next time I will join with my husband.

Dear yumitan,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour. As expected, the weather in the mountains can change quickly, so you never know until you go. We are very pleased that you were able to enjoy the wonderful views from Mauna Kea.
In June, you had the unique opportunity to observe the situation at Fisher 8 following the Kilauea eruption from Mauna Kea, making it a very valuable and timely tour. Currently, parts of the Kilauea Volcano National Park are temporarily closed due to budget considerations, but you can still enter and enjoy the World Heritage site.
We hope that next time, your husband can join you on the nature school tour. All of our staff sincerely look forward to your return to the island.

Since it was almost a full moon and cloudy, I didn't have high expectations for the starry sky (laughs). Our tour guide, JIN, was very knowledgeable and provided explanations that I hadn't heard on other tours, which was very educational. I also appreciated how much he respected the Japanese community, which came through in his conversation. (After returning home, I reflected on their achievements as well.)
At the actual summit of Mauna Kea, both my husband and I experienced symptoms of altitude sickness, which was unexpected (but don't worry, it wasn't severe!). I realized we shouldn't underestimate it (though we got used to it quickly—maybe it's due to our age). My husband was thrilled to finally visit the location of the National Astronomical Observatory and the Subaru Telescope, which he had always admired. The sunset was incredibly beautiful with the contrast of the clouds and the sunset, making it the highlight of our trip.
Although the stargazing didn't turn out as hoped, we were able to take photos with the volcano thanks to JIN's photography skills. As expected! I would love to visit again during a new moon when the volcanic activity has calmed down.
ほぼ満月ということ、曇っていたので星空は元々期待せずに参加(笑)。
ツアーガイドのJINさんは博学で、前日別ツアーにはない説明もしてくださり、
とても勉強になりました。また日系の方々をとてもリスペクトされていることが、話から伝わってきて好感が持てました。(帰国後彼らの功績を私も振り返ってみました)
実際のマウナケア山頂は思いのほか高山病?的な症状に夫婦揃って罹り(でも
重症ではないですのでご安心を!)侮ってはいけないと思いました(でも、すぐに慣れました・年齢のせいかしら)。
主人はずっと憧れていた国立天文台・すばる望遠鏡の場所に来れたことに感動していました。サンセットは雲と夕日のコントラストでとても美しく、今回の旅での一番の記念になりました。
星空観測は残念な結果となりましたが、JINさんの撮影で火山と一緒に撮影することができました。さすが!

Great & affordable shuttle to Diamond Head! The shuttle is very clean, comfortable and reliable.We were picked-up on time, the driver gave us instructions, a map and a bottle of water. The great thing about this tour is that you can walk at your own pace. The hike itself is easy, however towards the end there are some stairs. Walking through a lava tube was really cool. During the hike there are many lookout places with beautiful views of Oahu's south shore. You can see Waikiki, the mountains, downtown Honolulu & Koko Head from a distance and taking a lot of pictures. It was a great way to start my day. Thank you Kaimana Tours for such a great service and for taking me to one of Honolulu's top attractions, it's not everyday that you can tell your friends that your hiked am ancient volcano. I love Hawaii =)

The perfect way to spend our day together! We were booked on the Ultimate package that included the Adventure Tower, Zipline, Kings Swing, ATV & rock climbing. This package is perfect for couples as its all about trusting each others judgement and it could get a little competitive too. The adventure tower took a lot of energy out of us as it did require a lot of upper arm workout however it was defiantly worth it. The off road ATV drive was so much fun! You can either take turns to drive or for 20-30 minutes each. Lastly, for the Zipline we did the full 6 line and we had a blast! The staff members definitely take care of you and make sure you're comfortable before doing any of the activities. I would recommend this tour to anyone honestly. Young or old, either way I'm sure everyone will enjoy this full day tour!

I decided to take my entire family on a hike just to experience it and since we did not have a car rental planned, we decided to book a shuttle with Kaimana Tours! I was even more excited that they allowed us to bring my toddler (2 years old) as a lap child as long as we have a baby carrier, free of charge!
We were picked up by van on time directly from our hotel. The driver was very nice and friendly! The hike to the top was not too bad at all, even my girls enjoyed it (ages 8 & 10). Most of us are beginner hikers and the best part, the view of Waikiki was just breathtaking! I would definitely book Kaimana Tours again next time we visit! maybe go to Manoa Falls or Makapuu Point next time!! I will for sure recommend this to family and friends!

First time tubing for my wife & I, which we will never forget. From the cultural background of the plantation to the tunnels, it is truly a honor to experience a adventure like this. Thank you to our tour Maka for all the knowledge!

It's not often that you get to ride a horse leisurely for two hours, so spending time in nature in Hawaii while letting the horse take the lead feels great. My husband was also riding for the first time and seemed a bit nervous at first, but by the end, he said, "Riding a horse is easy" (laughs). I couldn't help but think that it was really the horse being smart and we were just along for the ride... The weather was also pleasantly refreshing, not too hot, and we had a wonderful time.
なかなか2時間もゆったり馬に乗りことはないので、ハワイの自然な中で馬に任せて過ごす時間は気持ちがイイです。
夫は乗馬自体も初めてで最初は緊張していた様子ですが終わった時には「馬に乗るのは簡単」などと…(笑)
それは馬が賢く、ただ私たちが乗せていただいていただけなのに…と思ってしまいました。 天気も暑すぎることもなくさわやかな中でとても楽しかったです

The beach horseback riding and exploring Haleiwa were amazing!
What made the tour even more enjoyable than originally planned was our guide, Hiro!
Thanks to Hiro's thoughtful arrangements, we were taken to the SOAP factory and some great photo spots near Kualoa!
Perhaps it's his Kansai personality, but his tour talk was filled with jokes, making the journey completely entertaining.
When I sign up for another tour with the same company, I definitely want Hiro to be my guide again!
海辺乗馬もハレイワ散策も最高でした(*´∀`)
でもツアーの元々の予定以上に楽しくしてくれたのは、ガイドのhiroさんでした‼️
hiroさんの粋な計らいによって、SOAP factoryやクワロワ近くのフォトスポットにも連れて行ってくれました!!
関西人の人柄なのか、ジョークを織り混ぜたツアートークで道中飽きることは全く無かったです。
また同社のツアーにエントリーする際は是非ともhiroさんに着いてもらいたいです!!
Thank you for participating. We are very grateful for your wonderful review, and it seems you were highly satisfied. Please do reach out to us next time.
ご参加ありがとうございます。
満足度高いようで、Hiroはじめ一同とても嬉しいレビューに感謝です。
次回も是非、お声かけて下さい。

A family friendly excursion . The guides were awesome! They took such good care of our 84 yr old Mom. She had a personal guide experience
Easy and relaxing. Very interesting to see the tunnels that were hand dug!
I would recommend this!

In the morning, we were able to fully enjoy a leisurely hotel life until our 14:30 pickup. They picked us up right on time, and we made a stop at Whole Foods to choose our lunch, taking a bathroom break at Kula Lodge while gradually acclimatizing to the altitude. During the drive and breaks, we enjoyed detailed guidance and fun conversations with our guide, Yama P. At the stops, he also recommended souvenirs and offered tastings. In fact, everything was incredibly delicious.
At the hotel, despite our worries about the cloudy sky, we found clear weather at the summit of Haleakalā, with a new moon and no wind, creating perfect conditions for stargazing, according to Yama P. After enjoying our lunch and warm tea in the car, we put on the warm clothing and gloves provided, sat in our chairs, and adjusted our eyes to the darkness for a trip into the starry sky! The constellations were beyond imagination. We were captivated by Yama P's flowing lecture on the constellations. It was a fulfilling half-day that flew by in no time.
午前中はゆっくりホテルライフを満喫する事が
可能な14:30、ピックアップでした。
時間ピッタリにピックアップして頂き、途中ホールフーズでのお弁当チョイス、クラロッジでトイレ休憩を挟みながら、ゆっくりと高度順応して行きます。その間の車内や休憩中も山Pの詳しいガイドと楽しいお喋り。立ち寄り場所ではお薦めのお土産や試食なども。実際、メチャうまかった。
ホテルでは心配していた曇り空もハレアカラ頂上では晴天、月齢ゼロ、無風の3拍子が整い、なかなかの天文日和との山Pの弁。
車内でお弁当と温かいお茶を頂いた後、用意して頂いた防寒着と手袋を身に付けチェアに座り眼を暗闇にならしての満天の星空へトリップ!
想像を絶する星座群です。山Pの流れるような星座のレクチャーに聞き惚れます。
あっと言う間の充実した半日でした。
