Hawaii
I think it's an experience everyone should have at least once in their life. Initially, I was scheduled to jump from 2,100 meters, but I ended up experiencing a free fall from 4,200 meters for over 60 seconds. It was the best experience ever!!
人生に一度は体験した方がいいと思います。最初は2,100メートルからの予定でしたが、4,200メートルから60秒以上のフリーフォールを体験しました。最高の体験でした！！

Ultimately, we couldn't reach the summit of the mountain and had to stop at the Onizuka Center. Like others have shared in their experiences, I understand that it's a natural occurrence, but the $15 refund is simply too inadequate. If it had been a bit more, it would have eased my feelings. Additionally, my elderly mother was exhausted from being in the car for such a long time.
If the refund policy doesn't change or if there are no suggestions for leaving midway, I cannot recommend this to others.
There were other tour participants who mentioned they had to make a second attempt after not being able to go up the day before, and they felt like they wasted two days.
The only enjoyable part was listening to Mr. Jin, who guided the tour, share his knowledge in the car. He was very knowledgeable and spoke in detail about flowers, history, and volcanoes.
Aside from that, to be honest, nothing about this experience is worth the price. I just want to inform those who will participate in the future that not being able to go up is a disaster!
結果的に山の山頂まではいけず、オニズカセンターで
ストップとなりました。
他の方の体験談同様、自然のことなので仕方のないことだとは
思いますが15ドルという返金内容はあまりにもお粗末すぎます。
もう少し多ければ気持ちも軽減されたと思いますが、
長い間車に乗車して高齢の母を疲れさせてしまいました。
このまま返金内容が変わらないようだったり、途中離脱の
提案もないようですと他の方にはオススメできません。
他のツアー参加者には前日のぼれなくて再アタックだった方も
いたようで2日間を棒に振ったと仰っていました。
ツアーを案内してくださった仁さんのお話を車の中で聞けた
ことだけはとても楽しかったです。
とても博識な方で花や歴史、火山について詳しくお話してください
ました。
それ以外はハッキリいって何も値段と見合っていません。
これから参加される方にものぼれないと悲惨！
ということだけお知らせしておきます。。。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We sincerely apologize that the experience did not meet your expectations on the day of the tour.
Mauna Kea, at an elevation of 4,200 meters, is even higher than Mount Fuji, and the weather can change in an instant. Therefore, please understand that the conditions on the day were unpredictable, as we are dealing with the forces of nature. We regret that the refund amount also did not meet your satisfaction, but please know that our local guides are working hard to ensure that everyone enjoys the experience, even in the unpredictable environment of nature.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
当日はご満足いただける内容となりませんでしたこと、心よりお詫び申し上げます。
マウナケアは標高4200mと富士山よりもさらに高い山となり、一瞬にして天候が変化しますため、
残念ながら当日の状況も予測がほぼ不可能な大自然を相手にするツアーとなりますことご了承ください。
ご返金額も ご満足いただけない結果となってしまいましたが、予測が困難な大自然のツアーでありつつも、
皆様に楽しんでいただけますよう現地ガイドもご案内に努めております。
貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

Must do island activity. The guides were awesome and a lot of fun.
Overall, it was amazing!!!
We gathered at 4:30 AM and headed towards the North Shore by bus. On the way, we watched a video about how to fly, and once we arrived, we signed a consent form. Since the explanation was in English, it's best to pay close attention.
They will ask if you want to have a handheld camera or a photographer, but both options cost over $100. If you don't say you don't want either at the beginning, you'll have to buy one after you jump.
The diving itself was fantastic. All the instructors were handsome, and it was a lot of fun.
総じて最高でした！！！
朝4時半集合
バスでノースショアの海の方に向かいました。
行きのバスで飛び方講座のビデオをみて
着いたら同意書にサインをします。
英語での説明なので聞き落とさないように
した方がいいです。
ハンディカメラかカメラマンをつけるか聞かれますが
どちらもオプションで100ドル以上かかるものです。
どちらもいりませんと最初に言わないと
飛んだ後に必ず買わなければならないです。
ダイビング自体は最高です。
インストラクターがみんなイケメンで
とても楽しかったです。

Everything was great. The instructors made it fun by their sense of humor, but you could tell that they also always had safety in mind. Felt safe at all times.
I was afraid that we would be hiking up a huge mountain or something because the description states you will do a lot of walking, however they take you up the mountain in a van. The only walking that you do is front platform to platform, which isn't much. So we were glad for that.
The views from the ziplines of the ocean were amazing. Would recommend for all.
What a wonderful tour to drive to the summit higher than Mount Fuji and observe the sunset and starry sky! Experienced staff will take you close to the summit of Mauna Kea while helping you acclimatize to the altitude to avoid altitude sickness. You can also see the Subaru Telescope at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan in Hawaii up close, enjoying the sunset and taking photos in the clear air.
To avoid any issues with astronomical observation, you will descend from the summit within 30 minutes of sunset and stop at a suitable location for stargazing and photography of constellations. The low light pollution allows you to see many stars. This is undoubtedly a unique tour that I highly recommend for the Big Island.
There are regular restroom breaks on the way to the summit, and there are portable toilets at the summit. While some may have reservations about using portable toilets, a little patience is necessary. On the day I went, there was no wind and it wasn't too cold, but at an altitude of over 4200 meters, your body can get cold after a long stay, so I recommend bringing a compact down jacket and a hat.
Since only 200 people can reach the summit in a day, it's a good idea to make your tour reservation early.
富士山より高い山頂へ車で行き夕日と星空観測、なんとステキなツアーでしょう♪
慣れたスタッフが高山病にならないよう高度に順応させながらお客様をマウナケアの山頂近くへ連れて行ってくれます。
そして日本の誇る国立天文台ハワイ観測所すばる望遠鏡も間近に望み、澄んだ空気の中を沈んでゆく太陽を眺め写真撮影。
天文観測の障害とならないよう日没から30分以内に山頂を降り途中の星空観測に適した場所で星座の観測と写真撮影をしてくれます。
チリが少ない環境はとても多くの星を見ることが出来ます。
ハワイ島ならではのツアーであることは間違いなく是非お勧めします。
山頂に行くまでもこまめにトイレタイムが設けられ、山頂には簡易トイレが設置されています。簡易トイレは抵抗のある人もいるかと思いますが、そこはちょっと我慢も必要です。
行った日は風も無くそれほどの冷え込みでは無いとのことでしたが、やはり高度4200ｍ超えると長時間の滞在は体が冷えてきますので、自分でもコンパクトにしまえるダウンや帽子等用意される事をお勧めします。
1日に200人までしか登頂できないとのこと、早めのツアー予約も心掛けると良いかと思います。

It was my first horseback riding experience, and I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind! I hardly speak any English, but the horses were well-trained, making it easy to ride. I had a lot of fun.
初めての乗馬体験でしたが、安心して体験できました！
英語もほとんど話さないのですが、馬も良く教育されており簡単に乗馬することができました。

When I got home and tried to look at the data sent to my computer, I found that I couldn't save it to view. I contacted them to ask them to send the data to my mobile by attaching my mobile address since I couldn't view it via email forwarding, but they never sent it at all. It feels like I just threw away the money I spent on the data... I'm shocked.
I think it would be better to burn the data on-site and hand it over in situations like this.
帰ってパソコンに送られてきたデーターを見ようと思ったら保存して見ることが出来ません。メール転送で、見れないので携帯のアドレスを添付して携帯にデーターを送って下さいと連絡したのですが、全く送ってくることなくデーター購入したお金が捨てたのと同じで…ショックです。
こういう事もあるので、その場でデーターを焼いて渡すとかした方が良いと思います。

The view from the summit was amazing, but above all, Mr. Yamapi's guidance was the best. It was our honeymoon, and we were able to see the most beautiful starry sky while listening to his wonderful stories, creating memories that will last a lifetime. We will definitely go again, so please continue this tour! Thank you!
山頂での景色はもちろん、なにより山Pさんのガイドが最高でした。
新婚旅行でしたが、素敵なお話のなかで最高のほしぞらをみられて、一生の思い出になりました。また絶対に行くので、このツアーはずっと続けていってください！お願いします！

At Kualoa Ranch, there were various activities, but I had a great time experiencing the four-wheeler buggy for a full two hours, which seems like something you can only do in Hawaii! It went faster than I expected, and at first, I was scared, but once I got used to it, it was really fun!! I could have probably ridden for another hour (＾_＾) I want to go again!
クアロアランチでは色々なアクティビティがありましたが、ハワイでしかできなさそうな四輪バギーを2時間たっぷり体験しました！思った以上にスピードが出て、初めは怖かったのですが、慣れれてくると本当に楽しい！！あと1時間くらい乗れたかも（＾_＾）また行きたいです！

will be back again to skydive.. the team were really awesome they treat me very well and made my day awesome..
This was by far the best day of our week. The kids loved it! The kayak trip on the river was amazing, nice and relaxing, beautiful scenery. Advice- have one experienced kayak-er for the 2 person kayak. The hike through the forest was so cool, it was exactly what we had imagined. We were filled with history and information along our hike which was really inviting! Once we got to the falls, delightful! Although the water was cold, it was the neatest things we had experienced! The lunch, the surroundings, the tour guide, all amazing! Don't second guess, Just do it!!!
We participated in a 2-hour horseback riding course as a family of four. It was everyone's first time riding a horse, but thanks to the thorough video explanation and the kind guide, we quickly got used to it. I think the horses were all calm and obedient.
The tour allowed us to climb narrow mountain paths that can't be accessed by buggies, jeeps, or buses, so we were able to fully enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful scenery. I highly recommend the horseback riding course!
2時間の乗馬コースに家族4名で参加しました。
馬に乗るのは全員初めてでしたが、丁寧なビデオの説明と、親切なガイドの方のおかげですぐに慣れました。馬もおとなしい従順な馬ばっかりだったと思います。
ツアーでは、バギーやジープ、バスなどで入れない細い山道を登れるので、静かな雰囲気で良い景色を充分楽しむことが出来ました。乗馬コース、おすすめします！

We upgraded to the 14k sky dive and it was COMPLETELY worth it... staff is so friendly and the VELTRA tours charges the same price. Do yourself a favor and at least get a go pro video.
Riding along the coastline allows you to truly feel nature, and it's the best experience. The duration is just right, so I didn't feel any pain in my backside. The horses are calm and respond well to commands. The female staff who guided us were also very kind.
海岸線の乗馬は自然を凄く感じて乗馬出来て最高です。

Driving the buggy ourselves and visiting locations from Jurassic Park and King Kong was a lot of fun. The two hours flew by. The instructor deliberately took us over bumpy roads and large puddles, adding to the thrill. (For those who are scared, you can avoid those parts, so it's reassuring.) My sister had just gotten her license (laughs) and unfortunately failed the initial driving test, so she experienced it sitting next to the instructor, but she said it was fun. Even though I'm a nervous driver, I was able to drive without any issues, so I believe those who are unsure or can't drive will also enjoy it.
自分たちでバギーを運転し、ジュラシックパークや、キングコングの映画ロケ地を回るのは、とても楽しかったです。2時間はあっという間でした。インストラクターが、わざとデコボコの道や、大きな水たまりを走ったりしてくれるので、スリルも味わえます。（怖い人は、避けて走ればいいので安心です）私の妹は、免許を取ったばかりだったせいか（笑）最初の運転テストで不合格となり、インストラクターの横に座って体験しましたが、楽しかったそうです。また私はペーパードライバーですが、問題なく運転できたので、運転に自信がない方、運転出来ない方でも楽しめるはずです。

This was an amazing experience. it was so pretty and the hike was fun. would do this again.
The pilot was great, his knowledge of the sites and explanations was entertaining and informative, the music choices were good and the flight was not scary (for those of us who were a bit nervous); instead is was like a magic carpet ride.
I would definitely recommend this trip to friends!AS
Thanks, Cid, for a great review. I like that, a Magic Carpet Ride. 'Always wanted one of those.
The video on the shuttle bus was so scary that I thought about retiring, but once I arrived and listened to the staff's talk and saw the people who had just finished their jump, it looked so fun that I jumped from 4267m! It was so enjoyable that I want to jump again! Since you're above the clouds, if you're going to jump, you should definitely go for the ultimate distance!!!
送迎バスの中でのビデオが怖すぎて、リタイアしようと思ってしまいましたが、着いて担当の方のお話を聞いたり、実際に飛び終わった方の様子を見ているとやっぱり楽しそうだったので、4267mから飛びました！また飛びたいと思えるほど楽しかったです！雲の上の上なので、どうせ飛ぶなら距離もアルティメットにしたほうが絶対いいです！！！

We participated as a family of three with a middle school child. There were clear signs on the main street, so we arrived at the location without getting lost. Although there were no staff members who understood Japanese, the reception staff explained everything diligently, so we were able to check in without any issues. The three instructors were incredibly high-energy, and I appreciated their efforts to communicate even though I didn't understand Japanese at all. The pathways between the zip lines were wooden decks, so our shoes didn't get muddy. The weather and scenery were both fantastic.
中学生の子供との３人家族で参加しました。メインの通りに分かり易い看板が出ていたので迷うことなく現地に到着できました。日本語のわかるスタッフは不在でしたが受付から一生懸命説明してもらったので難無くチェックイン出来ました。インストラクター３名の方達がとにかくハイテンションで日本語全然分からないなりにコミュニケーション取ろうとしてる気の使いが嬉しかったです。ジップライン間の通路はウッドデッキ等でしたので靴もドロドロになりませんでした。天気も景色も最高でした。

Skydiving in Hawaii was something I was really looking forward to. Needless to say, it turned out to be an amazing experience!
Unfortunately, the day we had planned was canceled due to bad weather. However, they handled the refund and the reservation for the next day very well, which allowed me to feel at ease and prepare for the next opportunity. (It's important to have such reassurance when you're abroad!)
On the day of the dive, I was a bit nervous but managed to relax while chatting with others in the same tour as we headed to the sky.
Without any hesitation, we dove into the sky!!!
I could see a rainbow ring, and it was absolutely exhilarating!!!! I immediately wanted to do it again!
I initially signed up for 2100m because I was a bit scared, but I changed to 4000m at the last minute. If you're going to do it, I definitely recommend going higher!
I opted for the outside camera and video. While the instructor who dives with you also takes photos, I highly recommend the outside option since it captures the experience so well! They even filmed a video with my friends, creating memories that will last a lifetime♡
ハワイでぜひやりたいと意気込んでいたスカイダイビング。
言うまでもなく、とっても素敵な体験になりました！
実は予定していた日は生憎の悪天候でキャンセルに…。しかし返金や翌日の予約もしっかりと対応していただき、安心して、次に備えることができました。（海外なので、こういう安心材料って大切ですよね！）
そして少し緊張しながら迎えたダイビング当日。
同じツアーの方々ともお話しながら、リラックスした状態で空へ向かいました。
迷う間もなく空へダイブっ！！！
虹のリングも見えて、もう最高にエキサイティング！！！！！！！！
すぐにまたやりたい！と思わされました。
ちょっと怖がって2100mを申し込んだのですが、直前に4000mに変更しました。どうせやるなら、高い方がおすすめです！
写真はアウトサイドカメラとムービーを申し込みました。一緒にダイブするインストラクターが撮ってくれる写真もありますが、せっかくなのでアウトサイドが圧倒的におすすめ！
友だちと一緒に動画の撮影もしてくれて、一生の思い出になりました♡

The waterfall destination is spectacular, our guide, Web, was very good - and barefoot!. Well-fitting hiking or sturdy aqua shoes are a must for the average hiker. The kayak trip is easy in a wide river. The hike is often along narrow pathways along a dropoff area with no barriers. The ground is very muddy, uneven and you're stepping between roots of trees much of the time. Good foot placement, patience and balance are requirements. When we arrived at the falls, a thunderstorm dumped a lot of rain decreasing the time at the falls and created an extremely wet and muddy return trip on the path back to the kayaks. Puddle depths were unknown leading to many slips and falls and very slow and slippery going. While no one was hurt in our group of 12, I'd advise this trip only for the very adventurous, and very careful!
It was a one-hour horseback riding course. I drove to the location with a rental car, and it was easy to find without getting lost while following Google Maps. The course offered views of both the sea and the mountains, which I was satisfied with. However, the sea felt like it was seen from a distance, so it wasn't like walking along the beach. We walked in a line with a group of about ten horses, and I felt reassured because two instructors were carefully watching over us.
1時間の乗馬コースでした。レンタカーで現地まであったのですが、Googlemapを見ながら、道も迷うことなくわかりやすかったです。コースは海も山も見られて満足しました。ただ、海は遠くから見えた感じなのでビーチ沿いを散歩するという感じではありません。10頭ぐらいのグループで一列になって歩くのですが、2名のインストラクターが注意深く見守ったくださっているので安心でした。

My son, who had just turned 20, expressed his desire to go skydiving. Since I tend to get motion sickness even on a merry-go-round, he was eager to do it together and I couldn't refuse, so we made a reservation for both of us.
Our pickup was scheduled for 4:30, but we were picked up safely at 4:45. Inside the car, we watched a video about the contract details from someone who seemed to be a lawyer, along with safety tips for the dive. We arrived at the airfield while it was still dark, and I was shivering in my light clothing because it was very cold in the morning.
We had requested a cameraman for both of us and waited our turn. Since we were the last group, we gradually got more excited watching everyone else jump. Finally, we boarded the Cessna. The cameraman and my partner cheered us on, and my fear dissipated. I think I was a bit scared when the plane was shaking.
We continued to ascend for what felt like a long time, and I was sitting closest to the front door, so my cameraman jumped out first. Before I had time to feel scared, I jumped right after him. Until the parachute opened, I was focused on breathing and didn't have the luxury to enjoy the view. I tried to say "Aloha" to the cameraman, but when I watched the video later, I saw my desperate face trying to force a smile, which looked terrible.
Once the parachute opened, it was amazing! I remember shouting "Beautiful!" at the stunning coastline of the North Shore, the bright blue sky, and the white clouds. I am grateful to my son for inviting me to have this incredible experience just before I turn 50!
My son, who jumped right after me, came down with a pale face and struggled to walk. He felt nauseous immediately after jumping and said everything went dark for a moment. He continued to feel sick for a while and said he would never do it again. I think it was because he didn't watch the video in the car, didn't properly check the safety tips, and didn't pay attention to how to breathe. When I told him this, he reflected deeply on it.
I believe the instructor, knowing my son is young, gave him some extra spins and excitement. I remembered being told, "If you don't like spinning, just say slow down," so I shouted that to my partner while descending. My son didn't hear it properly, so he kept getting spun around.
Since skydiving is a matter of life and death, I recommend participating without taking anything lightly. My son wants to take on the challenge again, having learned from his experience. I also think I would love to participate again if given the chance; it was the best experience!
Being able to do this with my son just before turning 50 has become a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!
スカイダイビングがやりたいと言い出したのは20才になったばかりの息子
メリーゴーランドにさえも酔ってしまう私に、当然のように一緒にやらせるつもりで張り切っていたので、断れずに2人で予約を入れました
4:30ピックアップだったのですが少し遅れて4:45に無事ピックアップ
車内では弁護士らしき人の契約内容の話とダイブする時の注意点のビデオを見せられました
まだ暗いうちに飛行場に到着
朝はとても寒くて薄着だった私は震えていました
2人分カメラマンを頼み順番待ち
私たちは最後のグループだったのでみんなが次々と降りてくるのを見て少しずつ気持ちが盛り上がってきました
いよいよセスナに乗車
カメラマンもパートナーも私たちを盛り上げてくれて怖かった気持ちもどこかに吹っ飛びました
飛行機がガタガタなっているのはが怖かったかな
まだかまだかと思うほど上昇し続けてかなり高い所まで上がった感じです
私は1番手前のドアの近くに座っていたので、私のカメラマンが先に飛び降りて怖いと思う暇もなく飛び飛び込みました
パラシュートが開くまでは息をすることに集中することで精一杯で景色を見る余裕はなく一応カメラマンを見てアロハとやってみたけど、後からビデオを見たら
必死な顔で無理やり笑おうとしていて無残でした
パラシュートが開いてからは最高‼️
ノースショアの海岸線と真っ青な空と白い雲
綺麗‼️と叫んだのを覚えています
私は50才を目前に最高な経験ができて誘ってくれた息子に感謝‼️でした
私の次に飛んだ息子ですが
降りてきた息子の顔は真っ青でうまく歩けない状態
飛んだあとすぐに気持ち悪くなり目の前も一瞬真っ暗になったそうです
そのあとはしばらく気持ち悪さが続き、もう2度とやらないと言ってました
息子は車内のビデオも見ずに注意点もちゃんと確認せず、息の仕方もちゃんとみていなかったのでそれが原因かと思います
それを伝えると息子も深く反省していました
パートナーの方も息子は若いのでサービスして回転をしたり盛り上げてくれたのだと思います
私は「回転するのが嫌だったらスローダウンと言いなさい」と言われたのを覚えていたのでパートナーに降りながら叫びました
息子はちゃんと聞いていなかったので回され続けたのだと思います
命のかかっているスカイダイビングですから、やっぱり１つ１つを軽視せず参加することをお勧めします
息子は反省を踏まえてもう一度リベンジしたいと言っています
私ももう一度チャンスがあれば参加したいと思うほど最高の経験でした‼️
50を目前にして息子と一緒に参加できたことは最高の思い出になりました‼️
ありがとうございました‼️

The sunset and starry sky were amazing. The guides were also polite, and I had a great time. If you go to the Big Island, you should definitely see the starry sky. I was impressed by the number of stars, which was beyond my imagination.

I participated in my first overseas trip with my family, along with my 7-year-old daughter (first grader) and myself (45 years old). My wife (43 years old) and my 3-year-old daughter stayed behind to explore.
We rented a car in Waikiki to head to our destination, but we got lost along the way. When I called for help, a Japanese female staff member came to pick us up since she was nearby, which was a huge relief.
My daughter was looking forward to doing some activities in Hawaii, so we decided to try the Adventure Tower. Before we started, I was a bit worried about whether my 7-year-old daughter would be able to do it, but I went first to show her how it’s done. I was surprised to see her bravely crossing the suspended platforms. The instructors and staff encouraged her with "good job!" while my wife, who was watching, kept saying, "That's scary, impossible, impossible. You did it—amazing!"
We also tried the "Free Fall," where you jump from the top of the tower at a height of 15 meters, and the "Giant Swing," which swings like a pendulum when you jump from just below the top (imagine being suspended by a single rope and swinging like a swing). We spent about 90 minutes doing these activities, and it flew by.
Although my daughter couldn't reach the top of the climbing wall, she was very satisfied with the fun and sense of accomplishment afterward. I personally think it's something I can absolutely recommend to those who haven't tried it yet. Even a 45-year-old dad and his 7-year-old daughter could do it, and there were instructors present, so safety was not an issue at all.
I would love to do this again when we visit next time. I want to try the zip line as well!
家族で行く初めての海外旅行で小学１年生の長女（７歳）と私（４５歳）の２名で参加しました。妻（４３歳）と次女（３歳）はその間見学。
ワイキキからレンタカーを借り目的地へ向かっていましたが、途中道に迷ってしまい困って電話したところ近くだった事から女性日本人スタッフが車で迎えに来てくれ非常に助かりました。
今回はハワイに行ったらアスレチックをやりたいと長女が楽しみにしていたのでアドベンチャー・タワーをやりました。
始める前までは７歳の娘に果たして出来るのか若干不安でしたが、大人の私が先に行き見本を示し、娘が後からやり、ロープで吊るされた板の足場を勇敢に渡って来る姿に逆にビックリで、インストラクターの方やスタッフの方も「good job!」と勇気づけてくれる中、見学していた妻だけが「怖い、無理、無理。出来た～すごい。」と一人盛り上がってました。
他に、タワーの頂上高さ１５メートルのところから飛び降りる「フリーフォール」、頂上の一段下（？）あたりから飛び降りたら振り子のように揺られる（ロープ1本で吊られてブランコの様に動くイメージ）「ジャイアントスウィング」、タワーの壁に取り付けられたホールドを使って頂上まで登る「クライミングウオール」（ボルダリング）で約９０分間あっと言う間でした。
娘は最後のクライミングウオールこそ頂上まで登れませんでしたが、終わった後は楽しさと達成感で大満足していました。
まだやったことのない方にも私個人的には絶対おすすめできると思います。
４５歳のオヤジと7歳の娘でも出来たし、インストラクターも付いていて安全面も全く問題ありません。
また旅行に来た際は行きたいと思います。今度はジップラインも挑戦したいですね。

I had signed up for the 12:15 tour, but when I arrived before the check-in time of 11:15, they said, "If you'd like, you can switch to the 11:15 tour." Since I originally wanted to join the 11:15 tour, I happily agreed.
After watching the instructional video (which included Japanese) on how to handle the reins and give commands to the horse, it was finally time to ride.
With the guide leading the way, we proceeded slowly and leisurely. At first, I was a bit nervous, but as I got used to it, I felt really good! The horse I was riding was a bit mischievous and kept trying to eat grass by the roadside and occasionally picked up the pace. Each time, I would pull on the reins to give commands, which actually made me feel like I was "controlling the horse," and it was fun.
I thought, "Is two hours too long?" but for me, it was just the right length for the course.
12:15のツアーに申し込んでいたのですが、チェックイン時間の11:15より前に行くと、「よければ、11:15のツアーに変更できますよ。」とのこと。もともと、11:15のツアーに申し込みたかったので、喜んでOK。
案内ビデオ（日本語あり）で手綱の扱い方や馬への支持の仕方等を観て、いよいよ乗馬。
ガイドさんを先頭に、ゆっくりのんびり進みます。最初は少し緊張していましたが、慣れてくるととってもいい気分！ ボクが乗っていた馬は、少々やんちゃ（？）で、道端の草を何度も食べ始めたり、少し早足になったり。そのたびに手綱を引っ張って指示を出すのですが、それがかえって「馬を操っている。」という気持ちになれて、楽しかったです。
「２時間は長いかな？」と思っていましたが、ボクにとってはちょうどよいコースでした。
