All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I think skydiving will truly be an unforgettable experience. The view from over 4,000 meters and the sensation of speed during the fall were surreal and amazing. The staff at the reception and the instructors were very unique and left a good impression.

However, even at the scheduled start time of 10:00, we were not called for a long time, and ultimately, we jumped at the same time as the last group scheduled for 13:00. We spent that entire time waiting on a bench outside. Honestly, their handling of this situation was the worst. No announcements were made despite the long wait, and when we inquired at the reception, we were repeatedly told about the next flight. While others who arrived on the same shuttle bus moved on to the plane, the next shuttle bus arrived, and those passengers were called immediately. Meanwhile, we continued to wait outside, and in the end, we were even made to wait for the instructors' lunch break.

Waiting outside for over three hours without any information was very painful. While the reception and instructors were good, the overall flow of the activity was very noticeable in its shortcomings.

スカイダイビング自体は本当に最高の思い出になると思います。高度4000m以上の景色や落下中のスピード感は非現実的で素晴らしかったです。受付の方もインストラクターの方も非常にユニークで好印象でした。
しかし、プラン開始時間の10:00になっても中々呼ばれず、最終的に最遅プラン枠の13:00の組と同タイミングで飛びました。その間ずっと外のベンチで待ちぼうけ。ここの対応は正直最悪でした。いくら待っていてもなんのアナウンスも無いので受付に尋ねると次の飛行機で〜次の飛行機で〜の一点張り。一緒の送迎バスで来ていた方々が次々と飛行機へ移動していく中、今度は次の枠であろう送迎バスが到着し、その方々がすぐに呼ばれ飛行機へ。私たちは外でずっと待ち続けているのにもかかわらず挙句の果てにはインストラクター達の昼食の時間までも待たされました。
3時間以上もなんの案内もなしに外で待たされるのはとても苦痛でした。
受付やインストラクターの方などの対応がいい反面、アクティビティ全体の流れの悪さがすごく目立ちました。

We participated as a family of five.
At first, we were shown a video in Japanese, so there were no problems.
For now, we got covered in sand. (laughs)
That said, they provided goggles and something to cover our mouths, so it wasn't an issue.
There are ups and downs, but it's not as scary as it sounds. We departed in groups of about ten, and the guide stopped at points to provide guidance, but I couldn't understand what he was saying in English. I think it would be helpful to have a translation app.
At one of the stops, a local staff member will take photos for you, so be sure to ask.
Also, since we had two hours, I think we really got to enjoy nature in the end.

家族5人で参加しました。
最初の説明などは日本語でのビデオを見せてもらえるので問題ありません。
とりあえず、砂まみれになります。笑
とはいえ、ゴーグルや口をおおうものをくれるので問題なかったです。
アップダウンはありますが、恐怖ほどはないです。10台ずつぐらいまとめて出発し、ガイドさんがポイントで止まりガイダンスしてくれますが、英語で何をいってるのか不明でした。翻訳アプリあるといいと思います。
途中のポイントでは現地スタッフのお兄さんが写真を撮ってくれるので頼んでみましょう。
あとは、、2時間あるので最後は自然を充分味わった感があると思います。

The view from about 4500 meters was very nice.
Although it's on the expensive side compared to other activities in Hawaii, I recommend it.
The instructor spoke broken Japanese but was able to communicate.
There were many Japanese customers, and the instructors seemed accustomed to dealing with Japanese people!

約4500mからの景色はとてもよかったです。
ハワイのアクティビティの中では金額が高いですが、おすすめです。
インストラクターはカタコトですが日本語を話すことができました。
日本人の客も多く、インストラクターたちも日本人に慣れている感じがしました！

Wes (Shotaro), our guide, spoke Japanese, which made the explanations very easy to understand and helpful for me as a Japanese person.

Unfortunately, the day we participated was quite foggy and cloudy, so we couldn't see the sunset at all. Because of that, I didn't expect much from the starry sky, but after watching the sky for a while, it cleared up, and I was ultimately satisfied to see a sky full of stars! Mauna Kea, famous for its observatories from various countries, truly lived up to its reputation with a breathtaking starry sky that was even more wonderful than I had imagined. Thank you very much.

ガイドを担当してくれたwes(shotaro)さんが日本語を話せるため、日本人の私としては説明がとてもわかりやすく助かりました。

私たちが参加した日はあいにく霧や雲が多い日で夕陽は全く見れませんでした。そのため星空にも期待していませんでしたが、暫く空を眺めているうちに空が晴れ、結果的に満天の星空を見ることができたので満足しています！
各国の天体観測所があることで有名なマウナケア山ですが、噂に違わぬ満天の星空、想像以上に素晴らしかったです。ありがとうございました。

Traveling through the tunnels was a lot of fun and our guide Megan was very informative about the plantation history.

I drove a buggy in the magnificent nature. The ups and downs are intense. There was no Japanese guide, so I could hardly understand what was being said. I only enjoyed about half of it, but I think those who understand English would have a great time. Besides buggies, there are cycling and horseback riding options.

雄大な自然の中、バギーで運転しました。アップダウンは激しい。日本語ガイドいないので何言ってるかほとんど分からず。半分ほどしか楽しめてないが、英語がわかる方はすごい楽しいと思います。バギー以外に、サイクリング、ホースがあります。

The guide was fluent in both English and Japanese, which made everything very easy to understand. We had two large vans, and since everyone in our group was Japanese, the guide communicated with us in Japanese. Their personality was great, and everything was handled with care and professionalism. The lively conversation during the journey was also a highlight, and everything from gathering to dispersing went very smoothly. The weather was nice, and the sunset and starry sky at the summit were incredibly beautiful. From 4,200 meters, the stars were so clear that we could see the Milky Way with the naked eye; it was the most beautiful starry sky I've ever seen. The previous day, they couldn't see the sunset, so it depends on the weather, but I believe this tour is worth participating in at least once in a lifetime.

英語と日本語を話せるガイドさんがいた為とてもわかりやすかったです。大型のバン2台だったのですが、私たちの方は全員が日本人だったのでガイドさんが日本語で対応してくれました。人柄もよく全てが丁寧でプロフェッショナルでした。移動中の軽快なトークも魅力で集合から解散まで全てがとてもスムーズでした。天気も良く山頂のサンセットと星空がとても綺麗でした。4200mから見る星空は肉眼で天の川がびっしり見えて、これまで見た星空で1番綺麗でした。前日はサンセットが見れなかったとのことで、天気次第ですが、一生に一度は参加する価値のあるツアーだと思います。

We rode four-wheel buggies as a family. My spouse and I took turns driving, and it was truly enjoyable to see the wonderful scenery of Hawaii while off-roading. The kids were also thrilled. The guide spoke English, so it was difficult for me to understand everything with my listening skills, but they cheerfully shared many stories about the history of Kualoa Ranch. They were a wonderful guide.

家族で4輪バギーに乗りました。夫婦で交代で運転でき、オフロードを走りながらハワイの素晴らしい景色を見られて本当に楽しかったです。子供も大喜びでした。ガイドさんは英語だったので、私のリスニング力では全ての理解は難しかったですが、ハキハキ明るくクアロアランチにまつわるハワイの昔話を随所随所でお話してくださりました。とても素敵なガイドさんでした。

Not only did we just pilot the aircraft, but we also received explanations about various sightseeing spots around the island, which was very educational! In the latter half of the tour, we experienced the thrill of the aircraft swaying dramatically like a roller coaster (this was based on our request, so I believe they would fly slowly if you asked).

ただ操縦するだけじゃなく、島を回りながら色んな観光名所の説明をして頂けて非常に勉強になりました！ツアーの後半では、ジェットコースターの如く機体を大きく揺らして最高のスリルを味わわせてもらいました(あくまでこちらが希望した内容なので、言えばそのままゆっくり飛ばしてくれると思います。)

The instructor who flew with us was very kind! There was a female staff member at the reception who could communicate in Japanese, so it was great to be able to ask questions in Japanese during the check-in process. However, the waiting time was very long. I used the round-trip shuttle bus. There was a 2-hour wait after arrival and about a 4-hour wait after diving. I had planned other activities in the evening but unfortunately had to cancel... The notes in the explanation stating "no meal included" and "snacks are recommended to bring" seemed to be due to the long waiting times. There is only one vending machine at this go jump, and there are no shops. (They did sell cute T-shirts!)

For those who want to make effective use of their time, I recommend driving there with a rental car instead of using the shuttle bus! For reference:
8:30 - Shuttle bus departure (Hilton)
9:30 - Arrival at the site, filling out consent forms
10:00 - Safety belt fitting and briefing
11:30 - Boarding the helicopter for skydiving
12:30 - Skydiving completed
16:30 - Departure from the site
17:30 - Shuttle bus drop-off
(You should plan for about 9 hours in total.)

一緒に飛んでくれたインストラクターさんがとても優しい方でした！受付には日本語対応可の女性スタッフがいたので、手続きでの不明点を日本語で質問できたのはとてもよかったです！
ただ待機時間はとても長かったです。。私は往復シャトルバスを利用しました。到着後2時間の待機時間、ダイビング後約4時間の待機時間がありました。夕方から他の用事を予定していましたがあいにくキャンセルしました...。説明の記載にてある「食事代は無い」「スナックなどの持参をお勧め」などは、その待機時間が大幅にあるが故の注意書きだったみたいです。こちらのgo jumpには自動販売機が1台だけあり、売店という売店はありません。（可愛いTシャツは売ってました！）

時間を有効活用したい方は往復はレンタカーで自力で向かうことをおすすめします、、！

This time, I couldn't see the sunset (due to the bad weather from Hurricane Kiko), but I was able to see the stars. The summit is worth visiting just to see the observatories. The guides include some who can speak Japanese, making it a good tour (even those who can't speak Japanese are studying the language). However, please be aware that the summit is over 4000 meters high. The oxygen levels are low. Mount Fuji is 3700 meters, you know!

今回夕陽は観れませんでしたが、(ハリケーンKikoで天候不順)星は観る事ができました。
山頂は天文台群を観るだけでも価値はあります。ガイドも日本語が話せる方もいて良いツアーです。(話せないガイドさんも日本語勉強中とか。)
ただ、山頂は4000m超である事に注視して下さい。酸素濃度は低いです。
富士山は3700mですからネ‼️

I'm glad I participated in this tour! First of all, our driver and guide, Jonah, was an excellent driver. We spent about 11 hours together, and I felt completely at ease! The time allocated for hiking Diamond Head was generous, and we were taken to a food truck where we could buy Leonard's malasadas without any wait, which was perfect for a snack after the hike!

We toured the beautiful beaches of Oahu, and for lunch, we stopped at the Kahuku Sugar Mill. There were so many stores and food trucks that it was hard to choose. There was even a beer specialty shop, which was enjoyable. We also got to explore Haleiwa, and since there were kids experiencing Hawaii for the first time, I was glad I booked this tour.

Jonah, who is fluent in Japanese, shared various stories during our travels, which helped us learn more about Hawaii. He also kindly took photos for us every time we got out of the vehicle. I'm grateful for that! The small group size made it comfortable as well.

このツアーに参加して良かったです！
まずドライバーandガイドのジョナさんの運転が本当に上手で約11時間一緒に過ごしましたが、安心感が半端なかったです！
ダイヤモンドヘッドの登山も余裕ある時間配分、レナーズのマラサダもフードトラックで待ち時間なく買える場所に案内してもらえ登山後の小腹満たしも出来ました！
オアフ島のきれいなビーチをめぐり、ランチはカフクシュガーミルで。店舗もフードトラックも沢山あり選ぶのに迷いました。ビール専門店もあり、楽しめました。
ハレイワも探索でき、ハワイが初めての子がいたのでこのツアーを申し込みましたが正解でした。
日本語が堪能なジョナさんが移動中も含め、色々な話をしてくれたのでハワイのことを知れました。また、写真も下車の都度、ジョナさんから声をかけてくれて撮ってくれました。感謝！少人数のツアーなので気兼ねない点も良かったです。

Our tour at Kipu Ranch in Kauai was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, the experience was filled with breathtaking scenery, exciting trails, and the kind of adventure you only dream about when you picture Hawaii. 🌴✨

The guides were incredible—knowledgeable, funny, and made us feel safe the whole way while still letting us enjoy the thrill of the ride. We explored lush valleys, rugged hillsides, and even movie-worthy backdrops that took our breath away. 🚙💨 Everywhere we turned was like stepping into a postcard.

What really stood out was how much we learned along the way—about Kauai’s history, the culture, and the land itself. It wasn’t just an adrenaline rush; it was a deeper connection to the island.

If you’re visiting Kauai, don’t miss this adventure. Whether you’re here for the views, the excitement, or just want to experience the island in a unique way, Kipu Ranch delivers it all. Highly recommend—it was truly the highlight of our trip! 🌺🌊🌈

The driver was friendly, and although it was mentioned that he couldn't speak Japanese, it seemed his wife was Japanese, so he could speak a little. It was cool in the early morning, and I was able to climb at my own pace. On the way back, he kindly provided bottled water, which tasted very good. When I arrived at the hotel, I made it in time for breakfast, so that was great. I did well at 56 years old!

ドライバーさんも気さくな方で日本語は出来ないと書いてあったけど奥様が日本人だったようで片言ですが良かったです。
早朝で涼しく、自分のペースで登る事が出来ました。帰りにはペットボトルをサービスして下さりとても美味しく感じました。
ホテルに着いたら朝食の時間に間に合い食べる事もできたので良かったです。56才よく頑張りました

I participated in the buggy driving experience at Kualoa Ranch. It was a very spacious ranch, and driving on the slightly tight mountain roads, curves, bumpy paths, and slopes was a lot of fun. The scenery was beautiful, with views of the ocean and mountains. It was also great to take commemorative photos at the filming points of Jurassic Park. The guide was cheerful and friendly, which made the experience even better.

クアロアランチのバギー運転体験に参加しました。
とても広い牧場で、ちょっとタイトな山道やカーブ、でこぼこ道や坂など運転するのに楽しかったです。
景色も海や山が見えてとても綺麗でした。
またジュラシックパークの撮影ポイントで記念撮影ができていい記念になりました。
ガイドさんが陽気でフレンドリーで良かったです。

It's amazing that you can drive up to a height comparable to Mount Fuji. The sunset viewed from there, along with the sea of clouds changing colors as the sun sets, was wonderful. As a couple in our 60s, we were grateful for the easy ascent to the summit of Haleakalā, which made us feel like we really got our money's worth. The stargazing was also fantastic. I have participated in stargazing tours in Hawaii multiple times in the past, but this was the first time we each had our own chair, which was very comfortable (I usually end up standing and looking up at the stars, which always makes my neck hurt). Our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, provided explanations that were very clear and enjoyable. We will definitely come again!

車で富士山並みの高さまで登れるのは最高です。そこから見る夕日と夕日に染まり刻々と色が変わる雲海は素晴らしかったです。60代夫婦としては、労せず富士山並みの高さのハレアカラ登頂は有難く、とても得した気分になりました。星空観測もバッチリでした。過去にハワイで星空観測ツアーに複数回行きましたが、一人一つのチェアが用意されていたのは初めてで、とても楽ちんでした（いつも首が痛くなる感じで立って星を見上げていたので）。ガイドの山内さんの説明はとてもわかりやすく楽しかったです。また、行きます！

After getting off the shuttle bus, they explained the precautions in Japanese and gave us the reservation ticket. Everything else was in English. We entered the waiver agreement through the QR code on the reservation ticket beforehand. We arrived exactly at check-in time at the designated reception (if you arrive early, you will be turned away). It seemed that eight buggies were grouped together, and the check-in times were strictly divided. After showing our driver's license, the driver received a wristband. We were given a helmet, goggles, and something like a neck warmer to protect against dust while watching a video on how to drive and safety precautions. Among the eight groups, we were the only Japanese. They gathered everyone to explain various things, but sadly, I understood very little. I think it would have been more enjoyable if I understood English better. I felt like I was just following along by instinct.

The scenery was wonderful, and the buggies were fun, and it wasn't as dangerous as I expected, so it was good. However, there were too many things I didn't understand, so I give it four stars. I don't expect full Japanese support, but I would have appreciated something like an explanation sheet for tourist spots. I really felt my lack of English skills... I couldn't shake off the feeling of being out of place (crying).

送迎バスを降りると事前の注意事項を日本語で説明してくれ、予約票もらう。あとは全て英語のみ。予約票のQRコードから免責事項に対する同意書を先に入力しておく。チェックインの時間ちょうどに所定の受付へ。（早めに行ったら追い返される）。8台のバギーが1組になっており細かくチェックイン時間が区切られている様子。免許証を見せ運転者はリストバンド装着される。ヘルメット、ゴーグル、ホコリよけのネックウォーマーみたいなのを渡され準備しながら運転方法や注意事項の動画を見る。8組のうち日本人は私達だけ。皆を集めていろいろ説明してくれるが、悲しい事にほとんど分からず。英語が分かればもっと楽しかったと思う。感覚でついて行った感じ。
景色は素晴らしいし、バギーも楽しいし思ったより危なく無かったので良かったけれど、分からない事が多すぎたので星4。日本語対応まで求めないが観光スポットの説明用紙などあれば嬉しいなと思いました。自分の英語力の無さを痛感…アウェイ感が否めませんでした（泣）。

Last time, I went on a location tour, so this time I tried horseback riding. Since it was my first time, I was nervous about falling off, but it was at a slow walking pace, so I was fine. Even so, there was no boredom as we went up and down hills and mountain paths, and it was enjoyable. I thought two hours would be long, but as we rode around the vast ranch, it flew by. The guide occasionally took photos with a smartphone, which made for great memories. I would love to experience it again.

前回、ロケ地巡りをしたので、今回は乗馬にしてみました。初めてなので落馬しないか緊張しましたが、ゆっくり歩く程度の早さだったので大丈夫でした。それでも、坂道や山道を登ったり下りたりする際は揺れるので退屈さはなく、楽しかったです。２時間は長いかと思いましたが、広大な牧場内を回っていると、あっという間でした。引率される方が時々スマホで写真を撮ってくれましたので記念にもなりました。また、体験してみたいです。

I don't know if it was a different tour, but the location tour was different from what I expected.

What was great was its grandeur‼️
I would also like a Japanese explanation.

違ったツアーだったのかは、わからないけど
ロケ地ツアーは、思ってたのとは、違った

壮大だつたのは、良かった‼️
日本語の説明も欲しいです。

Awesome way to experience much of what Kualoa Ranch has to offer in 3 hours! Would love to spend the whole day, but this is a great way to get a taste of history, culture and adventure.
Easy tracks to travel and drive on. The group setting sizes were great and the guides were awesome. (knowledgeable, funny and informative)
Good amount of driving and plenty of stops along the way.
I can't fault this adventure (maybe some water stops along the way as a small improvement). We went on a perfect day. It was hot but not while you drive and when you stop, you can find shelter when you need it.
Thoroughly recommend and I would do it again with a group of friends

The guide spoke English and did their best to communicate while translating in broken phrases. It was reassuring that jackets and oxygen tanks were available at all times. Meals and water were provided at my own timing, and I could eat and drink in the vehicle during transit, which was better than I expected in terms of taste. The travel time is long, but we stopped at shooting spots along the way, so it wasn't boring. The scenery is wonderful, but depending on the brightness of the moon, it can be difficult to see the stars, so checking the lunar calendar and adjusting the schedule would be best.

英語ガイドでしたが、翻訳しながらカタコトで頑張って伝えてくださりました。
ジャケットや酸素ボンベはいつでも利用できるので、安心できました。
食事や水も自分のタイミングでもらえて、移動中の車内でも飲食可で、期待していたよりも美味しかったので良かったです。
移動時間は長いですが、撮影スポットで止まりながら向かうので、飽きませんでした。
景色は素晴らしいですが、月の明るさによっては星が見えづらくなるので、月齢カレンダーでチェックして日程調整できるとベストです。

The guide was great. The weather was good (the skies were clear after a little morning rain). The UTVs were a lot of fun. Loading and unloading was faster than I thought. Very easy to take the photos that we wanted.

I participated at the beginning of September, and it was indeed very cold at the summit. I'm glad I brought a lightweight down jacket and disposable hand warmers. Since it was half a moon, there were fewer visible stars than I had expected, which was disappointing.

9月初めに参加しましたが、やはり頂上はとても寒く、薄手のダウンジャケットや使い捨てカイロ等を持参して良かったです。
半月だったので思っていたより、見える星が少なかったのが残念でした。

Fishing on a boat was my first experience, and it was incredibly fun!
In the clear waters of Oahu, I was able to interact with many fish.
From the boat, I had a wonderful view of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head.
I caught two fish, but some skilled anglers caught 6 to 7.
Unfortunately, there were no dolphins, but on the way back, I encountered a sea turtle!
I think it depends on the weather, but the boat sways quite a bit, so those who are sensitive should definitely take motion sickness medication.

船での釣りは初めての体験でしたが、最高に楽しかったです！
オアフ島の透き通った海の中で、沢山の魚と触れあうことができました。
また、船上からはワイキキの街並みとダイヤモンドヘッドを一望することができ、とても素敵でした。
私の釣果は2匹でしたが、上手な方は6〜7匹釣れていました。
残念ながらイルカはいませんでしたが、帰り際にウミガメと遭遇しました！
天候によるとは思いますが、船はかなり揺れますので、弱い方は酔い止め必須だと思います。

This excursion was good fun for even us 66-70 year olds gals. Loved Sophia our leader with her historic references and information. The tubing had both relaxed but quick moving parts along with tunnels where it’s a bit like twirling bumper cars. Lots of laughing along the way. Depth is approximately 3-4 feet deep. The guides stayed with us and quickly fixed any bottle neck problems. Will do this again next with my husband and daughter.

The buggy experience was a lot of fun! The driving time was surprisingly long, and the range of activities was wide, making it enjoyable.

However, the dust was intense, so it's better to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, and you might want to bring skincare products like facial cleansers as well.

バギーの体験はとても楽しかった！
運転時間が意外と長くて、行動範囲が広いので楽しい。

ただ砂埃がすごい、全身砂だらけで汚れた服で行った方がいいし、顔も洗顔などのスキンケア商品を持って行った方がいいかもしれません。

We had a wonderful experience with our adult children on this tubing adventure and are planning a second trip with some friends. It's an easy and enjoyable experience that's different from other tubing adventures. We highly recommend it.

This tour was amazing and so much fun. The tour guides were fantastic. The views of Oahu while ziplining and on the platforms were stunning. I have ziplined in NZ & Fiji but this would be my favourite. The ATV ride was an added bonus. I would highly recommend this tour.

It was my first time going to Hawaii, so I joined a tour! Thanks to a guide who was fluent in Japanese, I was able to enjoy everything from the classic spots to the more niche ones!

ハワイに行くのは初めてだったので、ツアーに参加しました！王道なところからマニアックなところまで、日本語が上手なガイドさんのおかげで楽しむことができました！

I'm not a fan of the feeling of free-fall attractions, but I only felt that during the parachute time! I was nervous and scared when jumping out of the plane, but just about two seconds after jumping, it quickly turned into "fun, exhilarating, and incredibly beautiful!"

The female instructor who accompanied me was very kind and spoke to me in simple Japanese to accommodate my lack of English skills. I felt a bit nauseous during the parachute ride, and she handed me an etiquette bag at that moment!

The staff were really great, making it a safe and enjoyable experience that will be a lifelong memory! For those considering skydiving, I definitely recommend "Go Jump HAWAII"!

絶叫のアトラクションのフワってなる感じが苦手だけど、それを感じたのはパラシュートの時間だけ！！飛行機から降りるときはドキドキで怖かったけど、降りて2秒ぐらいしたら一気に「楽しい・気持ちいい・めっちゃ綺麗」に変わった！
一緒についてくれた女性のインストラクターも英語を喋れない自分に合わせて慣れない日本語で話してくれてとても親切だし、パラシュートで少し気持ち悪くなっちゃってその時にエチケット袋を渡してくれました！
とてもいいスタッフの方たちで安心して楽しく、一生の思い出になる体験ができました！
スカイダイビングを考えてる人たちはぜひ「Go Jump HAWAII」をおすすめします！
