Hawaii
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。

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.
Mahalo for your 5-star review! We appreciate you taking the time to spread the word about our Nature and You tour, which is still growing. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the hike and the vegan food! Mosquito repellent and shoes for muddy weather are great recommendations, as well. Thank you for remembering Jody! We will be sure to pass along this positive feedback to him. Safe travels and aloha!
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.
11.5~12m位のクルーザーと思っていたら7m弱で

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。

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
Thank you for participating. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed various places. The Dole soft serve, with its coolness and creaminess, is popular among locals as well. I understand that you felt there wasn't enough time on the North Shore... I will take your feedback into consideration. Please do use our services again next time.
ご参加ありがとうございました。
各所、満喫されたご様子よかったです。Doleのソフトクリーム、あの冷たさとまろやかさはローカルにも人気です。
ノースショアで時間が足りなかったとのこと… ご意見参考に致します。

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。
Dear Momocchi,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Summit Sunset and Stargazing Tour. We appreciate your preparation for cold weather. The temperature near the summit can be around 0 degrees Celsius throughout the year, so we recommend bringing something you can wear under the ski wear we provide.
Our photo service was started by our guides to ensure that our customers feel they made a great choice by participating. Our guides also have their own DSLR cameras. At Nature School, we have many guides with unique personalities who genuinely care about our customers. We hope that when you visit the Big Island again, you will join us for another tour.
We sincerely look forward to your next visit.

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!
Thank you for participating. The sea breeze and sky blue are the best, aren't they? We hope you will use our services again next time.
ご参加ありがとうございました。
海の風とスカイブルー最高ですよね。次の機会もまたご利用下さい。
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。
Dear Nakki,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea Sunset and Stargazing Tour.
The internal tour of Subaru is only available when we can provide one vehicle on the designated public access day. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
We were fortunate to have great weather on the day of your tour, and we are all very happy that you were able to enjoy a wonderful sunset and the starry sky.
Thanks to your support, our sunset tours are almost fully booked throughout the year. All of our guides strive to ensure fairness among our guests by pre-arranging seating and occasionally changing seats, paying attention to every detail to ensure your satisfaction.
The starry sky at Mauna Kea is truly astonishing, isn't it? Guided stargazing is always exciting to hear about! We hope you will join us again for a Nature School tour when you visit the Big Island.
We sincerely look forward to your return to the island.

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!

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。
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。
Dear Kaoringo,
Thank you very much for participating in our Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour. Around June 2018, you were able to witness the eruption of Kilauea from Mauna Kea, which I believe provided you with a timely and precious view.
While stargazing can be affected by the weather, we hope that next time you will be able to enjoy the starry sky of the Big Island. Please do come back to visit the Big Island again.

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。
Thank you for participating.
It seems you were able to make good use of the unique advantages of the package tour. We also offer horseback riding on the canyon course, so please consider using our services again next time.
ご参加ありがとうございました。
パッケージツアーならではの利点ありで、うまく利用していただけましたね。乗馬は渓谷コースの取り扱いもありますので次回も是非ご利用下さい。
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^_^
