Hawaii
I wanted to see a beautiful starry sky, so I decided to join this tour. However, I was a bit anxious about whether I could climb up to 4,000 meters. Fortunately, there was time to acclimatize to the altitude, and I was able to breathe deeply, so I had no problems at all. The summit wasn't as cold as I had expected, and thanks to the warm gear provided, I was able to enjoy it to the fullest. After descending a bit, the starry sky we observed was also wonderful. I thought about how vast the universe is. There was a time when people traveled relying on the stars, and I felt a longing for such journeys. The Milky Way was clearly visible, and I was even able to see about four shooting stars, which made me feel happy. I'm really glad I participated in this tour.
綺麗な星空を観たいと思いこのツアーへの参加を思い立ちました。が、4,000ｍまで登って大丈夫なのかって不安もありました。途中で高所に慣れるための時間があったのと、深呼吸が上手く出来たので何の問題もありませんでした。山頂は思っていたほど寒くなく、最も貸していただいた防寒具があったのでその恩恵もありましたが、思う存分楽しむことが出来ました。それから少し下って観測した星空も素敵でした。宇宙は広いのだなあ～と思いました。星空を頼りに旅をしていた時代もあったのです。そのような旅にも憧れを感じてしまいました。天の川もはっきりと観えました。さらに、流れ星も4個ほど観測できたので幸せな気持ちになれました。このツアーに参加出来て本当に良かったです。

After a one-and-a-half-hour drive from Kona, we arrived at the Kafa Ranch right at 8:30. Since I was only wearing a T-shirt, I decided to borrow a jacket and a helmet. After a brief lecture (it was in English, but even someone like me who can't speak it could understand somewhat. They taught us how to start, stop, and steer the horse.) they helped us choose a horse based on our body type. My horse was a sturdy gray named "Smoky," which was just right to support my 80 kg.
We set off in a line. The ranch itself is located in a high area, and we continued to ascend through the grasslands. Along the way, we encountered a thick fog. Borrowing the jacket was definitely the right choice. My glasses fogged up with water droplets. It was quite cold, but when the fog cleared, we were enveloped in refreshing air. After almost two and a half hours without taking a break, we were on the horses the whole time. The scale of this horseback riding experience was completely different from what I've experienced in Japan.
I absolutely recommend this activity!!
コナから車で１時間半、８時半ぴったりにカファ牧場に到着しました。
Ｔシャツしか着ていなかったので、上着とヘルメットを借りることにしました。簡単なレクチャー（英語でしたが、話せない私でもなんとなくわかります。動き出しや止め方、横に行かせる仕方などを教えてくれます。）を受けた後、体つきを見て、馬を決めてくれます。私の馬は、唯一の葦毛でどっしりとした「スモーキー」です。80キロの私を支えるにはちょうどいいかな。
列を組んで出発。牧場じたいがかなり高い地域にあり、そこからさらに草原を登っていきます。途中から、一面の霧。上着を借りていて大正解でした。メガネも水滴で曇るほどでした。かなり寒い思いもしましたが、霧が晴れるとさわやかな空気に包まれます。出発から２時間半弱、休憩も取らず、馬に乗りっぱなしです。日本の乗馬体験とは、とにかくスケールが違いました。
絶対におすすめのアクティビティです！！

Pickup was easy, instructor was amazing, photographer was amazing, all around great people!
The view of Waipi'o Valley was absolutely stunning. We went down to the bottom of the valley and rode horses at a leisurely pace, feeling safe as we progressed. The local guide's quick-witted jokes were fantastic and kept the guests entertained.
ワイピオ渓谷の眺めがまずすばらしかった。渓谷の下までおりて、馬に乗ってゆっくり進みましたが、安心して進めました。現地ガイドの当意即妙のジョークがすばらしく、お客さんを飽きさせないと思いました。

A great zipline course -- especially for young kids and first timers. Staff is organized, nice and safety focused. Terrain is tropical lush, with ziplines in close proximity to one another. We enjoyed it so much, we would have re-booked in next tour if it wasn't closing time!
This was an excellent ride and tour! Wish we would have booked it for longer than one hour. FUN had by all!!!
We have to admit, we were really scared at first, but both ziplining and ATV were super fun and the guides were pretty nice and good.
This was my second time skydiving, and it was just as fun as ever! It was amazing! ♡ Since you jump with an instructor, you can do it with peace of mind!
スカイダイビングは2回目でしたが、やっぱり何回やっても楽しい！最高でした♡インストラクターと一緒に飛ぶので、安心して飛べます！

I'm glad I did it since I had wanted to try it for a long time. Jumping out was great, and it felt nice until the parachute opened. However, after that, the descent while spinning was quite steep, and I started to feel sick. If you are prone to motion sickness, be careful about that.
以前からやってみたかったので、やってよかったです。飛び降りて、パラシュートが開くまでは気持ちよかったです。しかし、その後回旋しながら降りていくのが結構急で、気分が悪くなってしまいました。乗り物酔いする人は、そのあたりを気をつけてください。

We participated as a family. Before joining, I was a bit worried that the height might be scary, but it was fine. There are seven zip lines and two suspension bridges, and the total time, including travel, is about two hours with explanations in English. The shuttle service is shared with other tours from Kualoa Ranch, and once you arrive, you check in on your own. I wasn't sure about the return bus schedule, so I asked at the entrance reception. We were picked up after 7 and returned to Honolulu around 2 PM.
家族で参加しました。参加する前は、高さがあったら怖いかなとも予想していましたが、大丈夫でした。７つのジップラインと２つのつりばしがあり、時間は移動時間も含めて２時間ぐらいで説明は英語です。送迎は、他のクアロア牧場のツアーの人と一緒で、現地に着いたら自分で受付などをします。帰りのバスの時間がわからず、入り口の受付で聞きました。７時過ぎのピックアップでホノルルに戻ってきたのが、２時頃でした。

The main event of our trip to Hawaii is always interesting, as the route changes every time we come. This time, even though I just went horseback riding on the 27th, it was completely engaging, with new emotions and discoveries each time. I have had different horseback riding experiences in Japan and Hawaii, but so far, the freedom of riding without a lead rope here is the best. I still find it exciting, and when we plan our next trip to Hawaii, I will definitely include this activity in our schedule. It has brought so much joy to our family.
ハワイ旅行のメインイベント、毎回来るたびにルートが違ってとても面白いです、今回も、２７日、乗馬したばかりなのにまったく飽きさせず、その都度新しい感動、発見があります、日本やハワイでも今まで違う乗馬体験をしましたが、今のところ、引き綱なしの解放感乗馬ができ、ここが一番、まだまだ、飽きずに、またハワイ旅行を計画した際は絶対このアクティビティは外さず日程に入れます、それだけ私たち家族を楽しませてくれています。

Every time I come to Hawaii, I make sure to experience horseback riding. My grandchildren never get tired of it, no matter how many times we go. This time, we did encounter a little rain along the way, but I thought it was part of the experience. As we rode through the trees, we eventually reached a breathtaking spot where we could overlook Haleiwa Bay. While I had been feeling nervous about riding until then, my heart opened up completely. In our family, we have decided that Hawaii equals horseback riding, and we plan our schedule around it.
ハワイに来るたびに必ず体験しています。孫ともども何回乗馬しても飽きさせません。今回は途中で少しシャワーにあってしまいましたが、それもありかなっと思いました。木々の間を乗馬しながら突き進み、いつしかハレイワ湾を見渡せる絶景場所に来ると、今までドキドキしながら乗馬していたのに一変で心が開かれました。我が家では、ハワイ＝乗馬と決めて日程を組んでいます。

The car was clean, and the guide provided a lot of information along the way. On the way back, we also toured downtown. We were able to see sea turtles, and the garlic shrimp from the restaurant they recommended was peeled and easy to eat. It was a pity that we had a short time to explore the town of Haleiwa, and I couldn't have Matsumoto Shave Ice. We enjoyed riding the horse for over 40 minutes. The local guide mentioned that the minimum age is 7 years and the height requirement is 4 feet 4 inches, so I was worried about the height, but even smaller children around 120 centimeters were properly adjusted and able to ride.
車もキレイで、ガイドさんが道中たくさんガイドしてくれて、帰り道はダウンタウンも回ってくれました。
ウミガメも見れたし、紹介してもらったお店のガーリックシュリンプは殻をむいてあり食べやすかったです。ハレイワの街の散策時間が短く、マツモトシェーブアイスが食べられなかったのが残念でした。馬はたっぷり40分以上乗れて堪能しました。現地の案内では7歳以上、4フィート4インチ以上書かれていたので身長が足りないと心配しましたが、120センチ程度の小さめな子でもちゃんと調整して乗せてもらっていました。

This tour was great for seeing movie sites and that's beautiful Ranch. But if you're looking for a little excitement and Adventure on your ATV this is definitely not the tour. You are not allowed to drive over 10 miles per hour. We enjoyed the tour. It just wasn't what we thought it would be.
After arriving at the location, I tried to make a reservation for the ZipLine at Kualoa Ranch, but it was fully booked until my return date. Just when I was in trouble, I found this ZipLine at Keana Farm online and was able to make a reservation through VELTRA. There were hardly any Asian guests besides us, and the English-only service heightened the overseas experience even more.
現地入りしたあとに、クアロア牧場のZipLineの予約をしようとしたら帰国日までなんと満席で予約できず。困ったところにこのKeana FarmのZipLineをネットで見つけて、VELTRAさん経由で予約できました。
自分達意外にアジア人客がおらず、英語のみの対応で海外気分がより高まりました。

A tour where you can feel the Earth★
The sunset and stars are so beautiful that it's overwhelming.
The journey to the tour is relaxed, with stops at the supermarket, Krispy Kreme, and picking up dinner♪
We also bought souvenirs at the supermarket we visited at that time.
It's cold at the summit, so I recommend dressing warmly, but they provide extra clothing and blankets for you.
It was wonderful to come together as a group to watch the sunset and stars!
This tour allows you to reflect on yourself and your life in the great outdoors.
地球を感じられるツアー★
夕日も星も綺麗すぎて圧倒されます。
ツアーまでの道のりはスーパー行ったり、クリスピーに行ったり、夕食を買ったりと、ゆったり楽しめます♪
私たちもその時に行ったスーパーでお土産を購入したりしました。
山頂は寒いので暖かい格好をオススメしますが、上に着るものや毛布は用意してくださっています。
みんなで一体となり夕日や星を見るのも、とても素敵でした！
大自然の中で、自分自身や人生について改めて考えることができるツアーです。

At North Shore, most of the riders were Westerners, and there were few Japanese people. I couldn't forget the horseback riding at Turtle Bay, so this time I decided to try the Hawaii Polo Club. This club trains retired polo horses for riding. The horse I rode was gentle and easy to ride. We set off with a group of six: four Western families, one solo Western rider, and me! It was a bit windy, but walking near the ocean was very pleasant. I was a little disappointed that we couldn't canter. It's about a 15 to 20-minute taxi ride from the town of Haleiwa towards Mokuleia Beach. Since there is no shuttle service, it's convenient to go by rental car. I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii.
ノースショアは、乗馬してる人は欧米人ばかりで、日本人は少ないです。タートルベイでの乗馬が忘れられず、今回はHawaii Polo Clubに行ってみました。ここはPolo競技を引退した馬を乗馬用に調教して乗せてくれるクラブでした。私が乗った馬も穏やかで安心して乗れる馬でした。欧米人の家族連れ4人とお一人様欧米人と私の6名で出発！少し風が強かったですが、すぐ側に海が迫っている場所を歩くのは、とても気持ち良かったです。駈歩はさせてくれないのが少し残念でした。ハレイワの町からタクシーでモクレイアビーチ方面に向かって15分〜20分位の場所です。送迎無しなのでレンタカーで行くの
が便利です。またハワイに来たら行きたいです。

Hawaii is recommended because it costs over 30,000 yen if done in Japan! The scenery is amazing! The temperature is perfect!!!

My wife has experience riding horses at Kualoa Ranch and was determined to go horseback riding when we visited Hawaii. My two grandchildren, aged 7 and 10, were experiencing horseback riding for the first time. Since Kualoa Ranch only allows participants aged 10 and older, we were able to join this tour.
At first, we received instructions on how to handle the horses, but I was worried and anxious about whether the horses would listen to us.
The instructor rode at the front, holding the reins of my 7-year-old grandchild's horse, while each of us handled our own reins for the other horses. Next in line were the horses ridden by my 10-year-old grandchild, my wife, and myself, followed by the horses of four other participants in the tour, and finally the instructor's horse, making a total of ten horses. We rode through the valley for about 75 minutes.
The horses were smart; they stopped when the horse in front stopped and moved forward when it did. We hardly needed to use the reins to guide our horses, allowing us to enjoy a comfortable riding experience with views of the valley and the North Shore ocean occasionally visible.
I want to express my gratitude to my wife, the organizers of this tour, and the staff at the ranch for providing my grandchildren and me with such a memorable experience.
私の家内はクアロラ牧場での乗馬経験が有り、ハワイに行くなら絶対乗馬はしたいとのことでした。私と７歳と１０歳の孫は初めての乗馬体験です。クアロラ牧場は、１０歳以上しか参加できないので今回のツアーに参加させていただきました。
最初は、馬の取扱いについて説明してもっらったのですが、馬がきいてくれるのか心配で不安でした。
インストラクターの方が馬に乗って先頭で、７歳の孫の乗った馬の手綱を持って、後の馬は各自で手綱をひきます（持つ）。次に１０歳の孫の乗った馬、家内の乗った馬、私の乗った馬、後同じツアーに参加された４名の方の馬、最後インストラクターの方の乗った馬の１０頭の編成で渓谷を７５分ぐらい乗馬出来ました。
馬は賢く前の馬が止まれば止まり、進めば同じように進みます。ほとんど手綱を使って自分の馬に指示することなく、渓谷と時折見えるノースショアの海の眺望など、快適な乗馬体験が出来ました。
私も、孫二人も今までにない思い出に残る経験ができたことに、家内と今回のツアーの主催者、牧場の方々に感謝したいと思います。

This was my second time on the zip line! It was amazing! I want to go again so badly!
It started to rain (a downpour?) halfway through, and I got completely soaked, but it only lasted about 10 minutes before the sky cleared up again. Of course, I didn't have a raincoat or anything, so I was wet the whole time. It was so much fun that I thought, "Anything goes!"
However, there was a problem with the pickup location. Even though I arrived on time, it seemed like they decided I wasn't there right away, and I ended up waiting for 30 minutes. I had to call them to finally get picked up, which was good, but this happened both the first and second time, and it was really frustrating.
I would have appreciated it if they could have specified the location more clearly or called out names to help with the pickup.
If I get the chance to go again, I would definitely like to participate!
ジップライン2回目です！最高です！
本当にもう一回行きたい！と思えほど最高です。
途中で雨(スコール?)が降って来て、びしょ濡れになりましたが、10分くらい降ってすぐまた快晴になりました。
もちろん、カッパなどはありませんので、ま濡れながらです。楽しいので、なんでもありって思っちゃいます！！
ただ、ピックアップの場所の指定が難ありです。集合時間に着いているのに、すぐ居ないと判断されたみたいで、30分経ってもずーっと待ちぼうけでした。
こちらが電話をしてなんとか、迎えに来てもらえたのでよかったですが、1回目も2回目もそんな状況で、本当に困ります。
もう少し具体的に、場所を指定してもらったり、名前を読み上げてもらったり、そんな対応をして頂けたらもっと嬉しかったです。
また行ける機会があれば、是非参加したいです！

This is my first visit to a rainforest and I was amazed.
We were picked up at designated location at 930 AM. We then changed to rubber shoes at the office and proceeded to hike. We were given breakfast and started the trail. Looks like it rained heavily the previous day and so we had to cross few streams on our way. The current in the streams were below our knee level but very strong. It was scary. The guide was very friendly, funny, knowledgeable and professional. So we did not have any difficulty. But it was awesome to see the falls full of water and strong currents in the streams. While we were told about occurrence of flash floods, I wonder what life would be in these situations. It was really wild out there, but you are with a professional.
I particularly enjoyed sliding in the water through a tunnel (the guide was there at the other end of the tunnel to stop me from being carried away by the current). My son (29) jumped 20 feet into one of the water fall, the guide showed us twice how to do that. We visited several water falls and I managed to stand under one of those 10 feet tall falls. The guide showed us several varieties of flowers, plants and fruits. We tasted some fruits, and had a good lunch break in one of the falls. The hike was not very difficult but also was not very easy. We returned to our car by 2 30 PM.
Many of the falls are not accessible to public and visiting with a professional is the best way to do it. I strongly recommend the hike to anyone.
I wanted to experience horseback riding in a breathtaking setting, so I visited Kualoa just for that. It seems that the routes for the one-hour course and the two-hour course are completely different. I participated in the one-hour course, but I can't help but wonder if the two-hour course offers even more stunning views. I felt that the one-hour course was a bit lacking. Since we just walked slowly behind the horse in front of us, I ended up feeling sleepy along the way. (Though it was pleasant in its own way...) If I have the chance next time, I definitely want to challenge myself with the two-hour course.
絶景の中で乗馬体験をしたいと思い、乗馬の為だけにクアロアを訪れました。
１時間コースと２時間コースでは、ルートが全く違うようです。
１時間コースに参加しましたが、２時間コースの方が絶景なのでは無いかと思いとても気になります。
１時間コースは、少し物足りなかった様な気がします。
ゆっくりと前の馬について歩くだけなので、途中で眠くなってしまいました。
（それはそれで気持ちよいのですが・・・）
次回があれば、是非２時間にチャレンジしてみたいと思います。

We had a great time - our tour guide "Hailey" was awesome. She showed us the inside of Hana jungle - the best waterfalls and some history of the trees and beaches. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We had a great time too... Sharing the best places along the Road to Hana is our favorite thing to do! Biggest hugs... the Holo Holo Gang
Jaime was a terrific guide and the ride was nice. It was drizzling pretty much all day but they provided rain jackets and my 10 year old son and I were comfortable. We were pretty wet from the waist down; my jeans were soaked, but the horses were gentle and well behaved.
It was our first time riding and Collette was amazing. She was very helpful and made us comfortable. She was nice enough to take lots of pictures of us on the beach. The horses were gentle and it was a great experience.
This is interesting. It has a moderate thrill and a bit of adventure. Each of the eight attractions has its own characteristics, and the two and a half hours flew by. Since it's located in the North, I definitely recommend renting a car and spending the day exploring places like Haleiwa afterward.
これは面白いです。適度なスリルとちょっとした冒険。また、8本それぞれ特徴があり、2時間半という時間もあっという間に過ぎていきました。ノースにあるので、是非、レンタカーできて、そのあとは、ハレイワなどの観光を兼ねて１日過ごすのがいいと思います。

I think they choose horses according to the skill level, even for small children who have no riding experience. There is no Japanese guide during the ride, but you can learn the basics on the bus. It seems to be more suitable for advanced riders than the seaside course, but this is where you can enjoy the fun of horseback riding.
乗馬経験がなくても、小さな子供でも、スキルに合わせて馬を選んでくれているんだと思います。乗馬中は日本語ガイドはついてくれませんが、大体の基礎はバスの中で教えてもらえます。おそらく海辺のコースよりも上級者向けのようですが、乗馬の楽しさを味わえるのはこちらでしょうか。
