All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

What a flight!!! Doors-off made the views feel like they were in 4k, was definitely worth it 100%

Super easy hiking path and a gorgeous hike all around!

This tour was awesome. The views were amazing, the trails were fun, and our guides went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. We enjoyed the stories about the culture and landscape that our guides shared with us at each spot we stopped at along the way. Thank you again for an awesome experience!

I participated with a 10-year-old boy.

Including photo sessions, it was about 2 hours of continuous buggy riding. I think it's quite rare to have such a long experience.

The feeling of refreshment and being in nature is the best.

Women and girls can also join, but a word of caution: it gets very dusty. Your shoes will get dirty with dry reddish-brown soil.

If you plan to go shopping or to a nice restaurant right after this experience, be prepared. My black hair turned brown and tangled, my black T-shirt became reddish-brown, and my face was brown too. While riding the buggy, laughing and talking made my teeth brown as well. But it was so much fun; my son and I, along with other foreigners experiencing it, were all laughing and taking pictures.

It's better not to wear nice clothes or sneakers.

Women should be careful as makeup will definitely get ruined.

If it rains, it will get even worse. This is an activity suited for men who don't mind getting dirty.

Also, you need a rental car to get to the location. It's right next to Haleiwa, so it can be a bit unsettling at first due to the lack of landmarks, but it's in a simple location.

I want to go back to this place the next time I visit Hawaii.

10歳の男の子と参加。
写真撮影含め約2時間、ぶっ続けでバギーです。
なかなかこの長時間は他にはないと思います。

スッキリ感と自然を感じるのは最高です。

女性も、女の子もいけますが、注意点は、
かなり土ぼこりだらけになります。
靴も乾いた赤茶の土で汚れます。

こちらの体験後に買い物や、高めのレストランにそのまま行く予定がある方は覚悟したほうがよいです。
筆者も黒髪が茶色でガシガシになり、黒のTシャツが赤茶色、顔も茶色、バギー乗っている間に笑うのと喋るため　歯まで茶色になります。
でもそれが楽しく、私も息子も、同時に体験してる外人も皆、大笑いして写真に残していました。

良い服装や、スニーカーなどは着て行かないほうがいいです。

女性はお化粧が確実にダメになりますのでご注意。

スコールきたらもっとひどくなります。
汚れを気にしない男性向きのアクティビティです。

あとレンタカーなどでないと現地にはいけないです。
ハレイワのすぐ横ですので目印がないのが最初は不安になりますが、単純な場所にあります。

次回ハワイ行く際も行きたい場所です。

I participated in the tour primarily for stargazing near the summit of Mauna Kea. Since there is an observatory set up there, I was expecting good weather, but when we arrived at the observation site, it was cloudy, and we couldn't see a perfect starry sky. Our guide managed to take some photos with a few clear spots in the sky as a backdrop. It's nobody's fault, so there's nothing we can do about it.

マウナケア山頂近くでの星空観測が主な目的でツアーに参加しました。天文台も設置される程なので天候も良いと期待していたのですが、観測場所に着いた時には雲がかかっており満点の星空とはいかなかったです。少しの晴れ間を見つけてガイドさんが星をバックに撮影してくれました。こればかりば誰のせいでも無いので仕方ないです。

Snorkeling will be on many people’s “must-do” activity in Maui, but so should the Sunset and Stargazing tour in Haleakala with Yoshi! I went with my family and we haven’t stopped talking about how incredible the tour was. Yoshi is incredibly personable and every aspect of the tour is so thoughtful. With 20+ years of living in Maui and leading tours of the national park, Yoshi knows the best spots for sightseeing and has great local knowledge to share on the drive up to Haleakala. His state of the art telescopes allow you to see all kinds of constellations and we even got to see Saturn. The complimentary Krispy Crème donuts were a tasty treat and the music selection was so peaceful. I can’t recommend Yoshi and the tour enough. If you’re wanting to see Haleakala, definitely book with Yoshi. Mahalo!

The guide was very polite and explained the history and natural environment of Mauna Kea in an easy-to-understand manner. The moment the sunset occurred was beautiful, providing an experience that was more moving than any photo could capture.

Although the starry sky was cloudy, the Milky Way was clearly visible to the naked eye.

They were well-prepared with warm clothing and hot drinks, allowing us to enjoy ourselves comfortably even at high altitudes.

ガイドさんがとても丁寧で、マウナケアの歴史や自然環境について分かりやすく説明してくれた。夕陽が沈む瞬間は美しく、写真以上の感動を味わえる。
星空は曇っていたものの天の川は肉眼ではっきり見られた。

防寒具や温かい飲み物の準備も万全で、標高の高い場所でも安心して楽しめた。

The shuttle bus staff only spoke English, but I was relieved to find a Japanese-speaking staff member once we arrived at Kualoa. The buggy experience was exciting and very enjoyable! It's definitely something you should do!

送迎バスの方は英語しかできないですが
クアロアに着いてから日本語のできるスタッフさんがいて安心しました。
バギー体験はエキサイティングでとても楽しかったです！絶対やるべきです！

Sometimes there were incredible downpours, but we kept moving without stopping!
There was no dust from the rain, but even with a roof, we got completely soaked, so it might be better to have a raincoat!
We were drenched, but we still had fun in the rain!

時々ものすごいスコールが振りましたが、止まることなく進みます！
雨で砂埃はありませんでしたが、屋根があってもめちゃくちゃ濡れるのでレインコートがあった方がいいかもです！
びしょ濡れでしたが雨でも楽しめました！

The half-day tour to see the sunset and the starry sky was amazing. A jacket is essential because it's cold. The Milky Way was also breathtaking! ^_^

半日かけてサンセットと星空を見るツアーは最高でした。寒いので上着は必須です。天の川も感動でした^_^

It was a refreshing off-road tour! I had heard it would be English-only, but there were staff who spoke Japanese at both the visitor center and the buggy tour, and they provided additional explanations in Japanese after the English ones, which made me feel quite at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience. Not only the tour, but the facilities at the visitor center, which is the departure point for the tour, were also well-equipped (with dinosaur monuments, exhibition facilities, a ranch, a food court, souvenirs, and lockers available for use), and I was happy that there was plenty of time to explore.

気分爽快のオフロードツアーでした！
英語オンリーだと聞いていましたが、ビジターセンターにもバギーツアーにも日本語を話せるスタッフがおり、英語説明後に日本語で補足いただけたのでかなり安心して楽しむことが出来ました。
ツアーだけでなく、ツアー発着場であるビジターセンターの施設も充実しており(恐竜のモニュメント、展示施設、牧場、フードコート、お土産、出し入れ可能なロッカー等があり)、散策できる時間が十分に確保されていたのが嬉しかったです。

I think this tour is much more fulfilling than just a diamond bed climbing tour. I believe it's difficult to visit this many places in one day on your own, so I highly recommend it. The guide was very enthusiastic and provided excellent service.

ダイヤモンドベッド登山のみのツアーよりかなり充実していると思います。個人で1日にこれだけ周るのは難しいと思うので、おすすめです。ガイドさんもサービス精神旺盛な方で、本当に良くしてもらいました。

It was my first time horseback riding, and I had a great time. I was able to enjoy the magnificent natural scenery while on horseback, and it was a wonderful experience. The horses were all gentle and very cute. I would love to do it again.

初めての乗馬でしたが、とても楽しむことができました。壮大な自然の絶景を、馬になりながら堪能でき、素晴らしい体験でした。馬はみな穏やかでとても可愛かったです。また、やりたいと思いました。

Departing after watching the Japanese video. I didn't understand any of the explanations along the way since they were all in English, but it was no problem at all. Last year, the path was muddy and it rained lightly, which made it fun in a different way. This year, the weather was too nice, and it was full of dust! Unfortunately, the second half of the path was paved, so it lacked the thrill we had last year. But the weather was great, and the sandbar was clearly visible, making the scenery fantastic!

日本語の映像を見て出発。途中の説明は全て英語でわからなかったけど、全く問題なし。去年は雨上がりでドロドロで小雨が降ったりで道が悪くて逆に楽しかった。今年は天気が良過ぎてホコリだらけになった！残念な事に後半の道が舗装されていて去年までのようなスリルはなかったな。でも、天気が良くてサンドバーも良く見えて景色サイコー

The breathtaking scenery of the Mars-like landscape, along with the view of the sea of clouds and sunset from the mountaintop, was truly moving. The guide's explanations were clear and interesting. I also had wonderful photos taken, which became great memories.

火星のような大地の絶景と、山頂からの雲海と夕陽の眺めは本当に感動的でした。ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすくおもしろったです。素晴らしい写真も撮影者してもらい、いい思い出になりました。

On my sixth trip to Maui, I finally visited Haleakalā, which I had been curious about for a long time! During the journey, I was told I would regret not coming sooner, and it truly lived up to that expectation with its "star-filled sky" and "natural planetarium."

At the summit, above the clouds, there was nothing to obstruct the stars, and everywhere I looked, there were stars. I was deeply moved by the realization that the light I was seeing had traveled from before I was born.

The constellation explanations were detailed, and I was also taught how to beautifully capture the night sky with my smartphone, allowing me to preserve the breathtaking views both in memory and in photos.

I hope everyone, regardless of age or gender, gets to see that scenery at least once and experience being liberated from the harshness of society. Thank you!

6回目のマウイで、ずっと気になっていたハレアカラ山についに行ってみました！
道中、これまで来なかったことを後悔する、と言われたのですが、まさにその期待を裏切らない「満天の星」「天然のプラネタリウム」でした。
山頂は雲の上なので、星を遮るものは何もなく、どこを見渡しても星。
また、自分が生まれる前の光が今この目に届いているということを実感し、さらに感動しました。
星座の解説も詳しく、スマホで綺麗に星空を撮影する方法も丁寧に教えていただけたため、記憶としても、写真としても絶景を留めることができました。
老若男女問わず、一度はあの景色を見て、殺伐とした社会から解き放たれる経験をしてみて欲しいです。
ありがとうございました！

Riding along the beautiful coastline was amazing. The initial explanation in Japanese video made me feel at ease. The horses are very well trained, so it's fine even for beginners. They also take photos along the way.

綺麗な海沿いを乗馬できるなんて、最高でした
最初日本語のビデオで説明もあり、安心です
ウマもとてもよく調教されていて、はじめてでも大丈夫です
途中で写真も撮ってくれます

I was excited to sign up for a plan that allows you to go to a height higher than Mount Fuji at 4,200m. I originally applied for the sunrise tour, but it was canceled due to the organizer's circumstances, so I opted for the sunset tour instead.
What I felt most when I reached the summit was just how big the sun is! It felt so close! The day before, I enjoyed a beach sunset, and while both experiences were wonderful, this was truly a one-of-a-kind experience.
The starry sky was really what they mean by "stars falling," with a sky full of stars, stars, and more stars. It was a fantastic experience to see both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

4,200mという富士山より高いところへ行けるというプランにドキドキして申し込みました。本当はサンライズを申し込みましたが、主催者都合で却下されてこのサンセットツアーにしました。
山頂に登って一番感じたのはとにかく太陽が大きい‼️近い‼️前日はビーチサンセットを楽しみましたがその対比もありどちらも素敵でしたが、唯一無二の体験でした。
星空も本当に「星が降る」とはこのことで、満点の星、星、星。北半球と南半球と両方見れる素晴らしい体験でした。

In mid-September, with no clouds or moon, the sunset near the observatory and the starry sky including the Milky Way from the mountainside were beautifully visible. Since everyone was Japanese, the tour was conducted in Japanese. It was a bit cramped in the car due to the large number of participants. There was rental available for upper and lower cold-weather gear, and it wasn't as cold as I expected.

9月の中旬の参加で、雲も月もなく、天文台近くからの夕陽や山の中腹から天の川を含む星空が綺麗に見えました。全員日本人のため日本語のツアーでした。人数が多かったので車が少し窮屈でした。上下の防寒具のレンタルがあり思ったより寒くなかったです。

We were blessed with great weather and enjoyed ziplining amidst the beautiful contrast of the sky, mountains, and ocean in Kualoa, Hawaii. The staff only spoke English, but they were cheerful and friendly, enhancing the experience of the activities. I think it's definitely worth a try.

　天気に恵まれ、ハワイのクアロアの空、山、海の美しいコントラストの中、ジップラインを楽しめました。スタッフは英語オンリーですが、明るく親切で、アクティビティを盛り上げてくれます。トライして損はないと思います。

This was the best tour of my life. You can go by rental car, but there were so many experiences that you can only have on the tour. The tour guide, Yamapi, kindly shared information beyond the tour, so it's better to join early after arriving in Maui. I would love to participate again.

これまでの人生体験で最高のツアーでした。
レンタカーでも行けますが、ツアーでしか体験出来ないことが盛り沢山でした。
ツアーガイドの山ピーさんは、ツアー以外のことも親切に教えてくれるので、マウイ島に到着したら早目に参加した方がお得です。
もう一度、参加したいと思います。

An amazing experience watching the sun set into the clouds at the summit of Mauna Kea, breath taking. Followed up with an evening of incredible stargazing, to hard to explain the beauty of it. James was an excellent tour guide diving into Hawaiian history, culture, and his knowledge of the observatories, their work and the constellations that we could see during our star gazing experience made the evening even better.

We were blessed with great weather and saw a wonderful sunset and a starry sky. I was very satisfied. There were a total of 12 participants: 8 foreigners and 4 Japanese. Our guide, James, was a very pleasant young man who worked hard to explain in Japanese and took many photos for us. It was a very enjoyable and pleasant tour. The sandwiches for dinner were also delicious. There was no wind and it wasn't too cold, so the down coat we borrowed was sufficient.
I think everyone should participate at least once when they come to the Big Island. It became a wonderful memory. I'm glad I participated.

天候に恵まれ素晴らしい夕日と満天の星空が見れました。大満足です。外国人の方8名と日本人4名計12名の参加でした。ガイドのジェームスさんはとても感じの良い青年で一生懸命頑張って日本語で説明し写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました。とても楽しく気持ちの良いツアーでした。夕食のサンドイッチも美味しかったです。風もなくあまり寒くなかったので貸していただいたダウンコートで大丈夫でした。
ハワイ島に来たら一度は参加した方がいいと思います。
素晴らしい思い出になりました。参加して良かったです。

I have had a few horseback riding experiences on Oahu, but they were just walking tours. Here, we were able to trot a bit in a safe, spacious area. If you're scared, it's perfectly fine to just walk. You can still enjoy it. Other tours had 3-hour courses, but I think this 1.5-hour option is the best time since my backside would start to hurt.

One downside was that it took a while for the toilet tank to fill up because there was only one pipe available.

オアフ島で数回の乗馬経験ありますが、歩くだけのツアーでした。こちらの乗馬は安全な広い場所では 少し走らせたりできました。怖ければ歩くだけでもOK。楽しめます。他のツアーでは3Hコース等がありましたが、お尻が痛くなってしまうので、こちらの1.5H程度がベストタイムと思います。
ネックなのはパイプが1本しか来ていないとの理由で、トイレタンクに水が溜まるのに時間がかかりました。

It was drizzling on the day of our visit, but since it's a mountain area, the weather changed frequently between sunny and cloudy. The ride on the buggy wasn't very comfortable, but it became a good memory nonetheless. The scenery is absolutely stunning. We stopped the buggy at various spots where the staff provided explanations, but since it was in English, I didn't understand much. However, I managed to grasp the gist and enjoyed it. They also provided something like a neck warmer on-site, which helped avoid the dust. Goggles are also available for free rental.

当日は小雨でしたが山の天気なので変わりやすいのか晴れたり曇ったりでした。
バギーの乗り心地はあまりよくなかったのですが、それもいい思い出になりました。
とにかく景色が素晴らしいです。
各所でバギーを停めてスタッフの方が色々な説明をしてくれましたが英語だったのでさっぱりわかりませんでしたが、なんとなく理解して楽しめました。
現地でネックウォーマーみたいなものもいただけるので砂埃は回避できました。ゴーグルも無料で貸してもらえます。

It was an English-guided tour, but our guide Shou-chan explained all the important things in Japanese as well, which was very helpful. The sandwiches for dinner could accommodate vegetarians and were reportedly from a famous shop, so they were very delicious.

Unfortunately, the sunset was obstructed by sudden clouds, so we couldn't see it beautifully. However, during the stargazing time, when I was about to give up due to the clouds, the sky cleared up, and in the end, we were able to see a sky full of stars, including the Big Dipper and the Milky Way! It was very interesting to hear detailed explanations about the constellations, and we could see artificial satellites clearly.

The summit of Mauna Kea is a difficult place to reach on your own, and preparing warm clothing is also quite challenging, so joining the tour was definitely the right choice. Thank you for the valuable experience!

英語ガイドのツアーでしたが、ガイドのしょうちゃんが、大事な事はすべて日本語でも説明してくださったので、とても助かりました。
夕食のサンドイッチはベジタリアン対応もできました。有名なお店のものらしくとても美味しかったです。

サンセットは、急な雲に邪魔されて、残念ながら綺麗には見られませんでした。。
星空観察の時間も雲が多くて諦めかけていたら、、どんどん晴れてきて最後は満天の星空になり、北斗七星や天の川まで見る事ができました！
星座の詳しい解説を聞け、人工衛星もよく見えてとても面白かったです。

マウナケアの山頂は道も険しく自力では行けない所ですし、防寒具の用意も大変ですから、ツアー参加が正解ですね。
貴重な体験をありがとうございました！

It was such a great experience - thanks to Yoshi. He is such a warm and friendly person who really takes care of making it a marvelous trip. He is a safe driver, knows the best secret spots where you can enjoy a peaceful sunset and he is well equipped with his telescopes for stargazing. It was an enchanting experience all around!

We participated in the 8 AM session as a parent-child duo (male, 56 years old, and male, 25 years old).

On the day of the event, we first checked in using an iPad. (You will need the 4-digit booking reference number sent via SMS just before the participation date. If you can't receive SMS at the venue, you can ask at the front desk. Some iPads may not work properly, so if you have trouble, try another iPad.) At the front desk, we paid a fuel surcharge of $15 (credit card accepted). We were given a coin for the locker and stored our belongings in it. Our smartphones can be kept at the front desk before boarding the plane, so there’s no need to store them at this point (they will also keep the locker key for you). There is a free water dispenser at the front desk as well.

While waiting at the area where the harnesses are located (see attached photo), the instructor came to put on our harnesses and gave us a brief lecture on aerial maneuvers. After the dive, the instructor handed us a jump certificate, an eco bag, and an envelope for tips. We wrote the instructor's name (which is on the certificate) on the envelope, put in the tip, and placed it in the transparent tip box. Pens are available next to the tip box. We decided on a $20 tip. After the event, when we handed the driver $20 as a tip for both of us upon arriving at the hotel, he was very pleased. The total cost for us that day was $45 per person.

As for the skydiving experience, I’m really glad we did it. While ascending in the plane, I initially felt fear due to the height, but around 4,000 meters, the ground and water surface were too far away to see details, and I no longer felt scared. When we jumped, we experienced about a minute of free fall, followed by approximately five minutes of floating in the air, all while feeling an absolute sense of security thanks to the instructor, which made it incredibly enjoyable.

A point to note is that as soon as you jump, your ears will start to hurt, so it's best to begin equalizing early, along with taking measures against motion sickness. My son and I have never experienced motion sickness, even on rough seas, so we underestimated it, but during parasailing, I started to feel sick after the second sharp turn. I experienced about four sharp turns and felt quite nauseous upon landing. My son was having so much fun that he egged the instructor on, resulting in quite a few sharp turns, and he was on the verge of throwing up upon landing. Even after arriving at the hotel, he said he still felt a bit sick. For those who are prone to motion sickness, it might be wise to prepare some anti-nausea medication and be ready to communicate to the instructor if you start feeling unwell or want them to stop the sharp turns.

If you're hesitating, I absolutely recommend doing it!

8時開始の部に親子2人（男56歳、男25歳）で参加しました。
当日の流れは、まずiPadでチェックイン。（参加日直前にSMSで送られてくる4桁の予約番号(booking reference)が必要です。現地でSMSが受け取れない場合はフロントで教えてもらいましょう。iPadは調子が悪いものがありますので、うまくいかない場合は別のiPadで試してみましょう。）フロントで燃油サーチャージ15ドルを支払います。（カード可)。ロッカー用のコインを渡され、ロッカーに荷物を預けます。スマホは飛行機に乗る前にフロントで預かってくれますので、この時点では預けなくてOK。（ロッカーの鍵も預かってくれます）。フロントには無料のウォーターサーバーもあります。ハーネスが置いてあるところ（添付写真）で待っていると担当のインストラクターが来てハーネスを着けてくれて、簡単な空中動作のレクチャーを受けます。ダイビング終了後はインストラクターからジャンプの証明書とエコバック、チップ用の封筒を渡されますので、封筒にインストラクターの名前(証明書に記載あり)を書きチップを入れて、透明のチップBOXに入れます。ペンはチップBOXの横に置いてあります。私たちは20ドルにしました。終了後、ホテル到着時にドライバーさんに2名分のチップとして20ドル渡すと、とても喜んでくれました。当日の費用は私たちの場合、1名あたり45ドルかかったことになります。

スカイダイビングの方は、本当にやって良かったです。
飛行機に乗って上昇中は最初のうちは高さに恐怖を感じましたが、4,000メートル付近では地面や水面が遠すぎて詳細が見えず、怖く無くなりました。
飛び出す時、体感約1分間のフリーフォール、約5分程度の空中遊泳中もインストラクターによる絶対的な安心感で楽しいしかありませんでした。

注意点としては、飛び出すとすぐに耳が痛くなり始めるので耳抜きを早めに始めることと乗り物酔い対策です。
私達親子は乗り物酔いには無縁で、しけの日の船でも酔ったことが無いのでなめていましたが、パラセイリング中は急旋回2回目で酔い始めました。私は4回ほど急旋回があり、着陸時には結構気持ち悪かったです。息子は楽しくて、インストラクターを煽った結果、相当数急旋回したらしく、着陸時には吐く寸前だったそうで、ホテル到着後もしばらく気持ち悪いと言っていました。
乗り物酔いしやすい人は、酔い止めの準備と、飛行中にインストラクターへ気持ち悪くなったとか急旋回をやめてほしいことを言葉で伝える準備をしておいた方が良いかもしれません。

迷っている人は絶対やった方がいいです！

Mr. Shoyo's guide was very easy to understand and listen to! While satisfying my intellectual curiosity with the history of the Big Island and tales of the starry sky, I enjoyed breathtaking views and a relaxing atmosphere. It was a wonderful experience.

ショウヨさんのガイドはとてもわかりやすく聞きやすかったです！ハワイ島の歴史や星空の寓話など知的好奇心もくすぐられながら、絶景を見て癒し空間も楽しめてとても良い時間でした。

On the way to Haleiwa (North Shore), we had a break at the Dole Plantation. It’s a good spot for a restroom break and to check out souvenirs. I took some photos and bought a T-shirt. After that, we were taken to the ranch to start our horseback riding experience. The driver spoke fluent Japanese and provided an overview during the ride. However, all the staff at the ranch were locals, so they didn’t speak Japanese. But they were very friendly, and I managed just fine by watching and mimicking them. My child had ridden horses in Japan before, but this was the first time riding independently rather than on a lead. Since we would be riding for nearly an hour, I was initially anxious, but the horses were very calm, and I quickly got used to it and felt at ease. More than that, my backside was sore! The weather was great, and as we rode along the beach, I felt time slow down and realized I was having a precious experience. This isn’t something you can do in Japan... I would love to do it again if I have the chance, but please be aware that the muscles in my legs, which I don’t usually use, were quite sore right after getting off the horse.

After the horseback riding experience, we were dropped off in the town of Waialua for some free time until the meeting time. We took a lunch break at Island Vintage Coffee and had an acai bowl and a veggie bagel plate. It was very delicious, and my wife really enjoyed the bagel sandwich. After that, we strolled around the town, visiting clothing stores and shops, and when we got thirsty, we ordered shave ice. There was quite a line, but it moved quickly, so we didn’t have to wait too long. On the way back in the car, I was able to sleep soundly, and we got back before 3:00 PM, so it didn’t affect anything afterward. I think it was a really good optional tour.

ハレイワ（ノースショア）までの途中、ドールプランテーションで休憩があります。
トイレ休憩やお土産物を見るのも良いでしょう。私は、写真を撮りTシャツを購入しました。その後、牧場まで連れて行ってもらい、乗馬体験のスタートです。ドライバーさんは日本語ぺらぺらなので、行きの道中におおよその説明をしてくれます。というか牧場のスタッフの方々は全て現地の方なので、日本語は通じませんw　でもフレンドリーに接してくださるので見よう見まねで全然大丈夫でした。子供も日本で馬には乗ったことがあったのですが、引き馬でなく自分で動かすのは初めて。しかも1時間近く乗りますので、最初は不安でしたが、馬さん達も非常に大人しく、すぐに慣れて安心して見ていられました。それよりも自分のお尻が痛かったですw　天候も良くて、馬に乗りながらビーチ沿いを歩いていると時の流れをゆっくりに感じて、貴重な体験をしているなぁとしみじみ感じてしまいました。日本ではこうはいかないと・・・　また機会あれば体験したいですが、普段使わない足の筋肉が酷使されているため、馬から降りた直後は心地よい筋肉痛を感じることをご了承ください。
乗馬体験の後はワレイワの街で下ろしてもらい、集合時間までフリータイム。アイランドビンテージコーヒーでお昼休憩を取り、アサイーボウルとベジベーグルのプレートを食べました。非常に美味で、妻がベーグルサンドにハマってました。その後は街をぶらつき、洋服屋、雑貨屋さんを巡り、喉が乾いたところでシェイブアイスを注文。結構な人が並んでいましたが、回転が早いのでそんなに待つことなくありつけました。帰りの車の中ではぐっすり寝ることもでき、15:00前には帰って来れたので、その後に影響することもなく、非常に良いオプショナルツアーではないかなと思いました。
