All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

This tour was worth every penny on its own, but our guide ELON made it even better!

We were picked up on time and taken up into the hills of Manoa Valley and went on a hike in the rain forest all the way to the waterfall and back. Hike was not super difficult, but definitely wear shoes (no flip flops).

Next part of the tour was lunch up on Mt Tantalus and then a 30 minute downhill bike ride down the mountain. We stopped halfway down for a pretty nice photo op. The views were amazing! Must point out that the staff made sure we were very safe on the downhill bike ride.

Once we got to the bottom, we were take to the marina, where we boarded a catamaran and went out to the Pacific and snorkelled at the "turtle cleaning station" for about an hour. We saw about 4 or 5 turtles and a ton of fish. Snorkel boat also had sodas and snacks.

We were returned to our hotel around 5pm after a full day adventure.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and HUGE thank you to Elon!!!!!!

I experienced skydiving for the first time in Hawaii! While flying up in the airplane, I was able to see the neighboring islands, and during the skydiving, I could see both the horizon and the sea at the same time! It was truly a great memory, and I want to do it again! However, I felt a bit nauseous during the turns, so next time I want to take motion sickness medication and be fully prepared for the challenge!! Thank you very much ^o^

初めて訪れたハワイで人生初のスカイダイビングを体験しました！飛行機で上空へ行く際は離島も見ることが出来、スカイダイビング中は地平線と水平線を一度に見ることが出来ました！本当にいい思い出でまたやりたいです！ですが、旋回などの際少し気持ち悪くなったので、次は酔い止めを飲んで万全な状態で挑戦したいです！！ありがとうございました^o^

The Japanese driver and guide initially gave a somewhat brusque and intimidating impression during the pickup and at the beginning, but during the horseback riding, they prioritized safety and consulted with the ranch staff, which allowed us to ride with peace of mind. I went with my family on a free plan, and they confirmed our itinerary together. The coastal horseback riding offered a view overlooking the coast from a higher vantage point; although we didn't walk on the sandy beach, the scenery was beautiful.

日本人の運転手兼ガイドさんは、ピックアップ時や最初の方はややぶっきらぼうで怖い印象でしたが、乗馬の際は安全性を重視して牧場の人に意見してくれて安心して乗馬ができました。
フリープランの家族と行きましたが、同行する行程を確認してくれました。
海岸乗馬は、一段高いところから海岸を見下ろしす感じで、砂浜を歩くわけではありませんが眺めはよいです。

This tour was WONDERFUL!!! Our guide was through and let us take time to explore and take pictures. Filming for Jurrasic World/Chris Pratt was taking place and our guide did everything he could to get us close to the site. No luck but it was still a wonderful experience.

It was my first skydiving experience. I had wanted to do it for a long time, but I never had the opportunity until I was able to fulfill my dream in Hawaii this time. At first, I was very nervous, but once I jumped, it was an indescribable joy. I highly recommend that anyone who is even a little interested should definitely try it. The staff were all very nice as well.

初めてのスカイダイビングでした。
以前からやりたかったのですが、なかなか機会がなく、今回ハワイで夢を叶えることが出来ました〜
最初はとても緊張しましたが、飛んだら何とも言えない楽しさでした。
少しでもきになる方は是非体験する事をオススメします。
スタッフも皆さんいい方でした。

We were blessed with good weather, and we were both very satisfied. It became a wonderful memory on the Big Island. I'm looking forward to the photos from the stargazing. Thank you very much.

天候に恵まれ、両方とも大満足でした。ハワイ島でのとても良い思い出になりました。星空観測の写真楽しみにしています。ありがとうございました。

My husband, myself and our 11 year old nephew had a great time on our hike. Pretty much everything was as described. We got to go to 4 different waterfalls, got to jump into 3 of them, included a pretty hefty peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a bag of chips, native fruit, lots of water and bug spray provided, and a backpack to keep everything in! The hike was definitely more on the moderate side than the easy side, I would say. My husband and I are fairly athletic and we were both sore and tired at the end of the hike. The nature is amazing. I took about 200 photos. The information that Sarah shared with us was interesting and insightful. She was a very nice, patient and informative tour guide. She was friendly and made conversation, but was not in your face, or invasive when people didn't want her to be. She was also very helpful because she showed the people on the tour the correct places and ways to jump off the waterfalls. I think this helped with some of the anxiety people had. I definitely recommend this hike. It is a little pricey, but it was worth it, and you really get your money's worth. I ended up messing up one of my ears when I jumped off of the third waterfall we found, so the end of the hike wasn't as pleasant for me as the beginning was, but I think that was a random thing that happened. My 11 year old nephew jumped a total of 7 times off the different waterfalls and never really complained about anything except that he slapped his hands and arms on the water (which was more his own fault). The one thing I didn't like was the number of people that were at the waterfalls during our tour. That was something we couldn't really control. There are some "private" waterfalls that we got to see, which, obviously had less people, but still had other people there. I think if you have a choice, go on a weekday, and it might be helpful to go during an off season. We went the day after 4th of July, so it was probably pretty busy.

I was able to fulfill my long-time dream of skydiving in Hawaii. In no time, we ascended to 14,000 feet in a Cessna. When my body jumped out of the Cessna, I was scared, but once I was in the air, the time flew by. I initially intended to only get the optional GoPro photos, but I ended up purchasing the video as a keepsake as well. The package was $199. I want to challenge myself again.

ずっと夢だったスカイダイビングをハワイでする事が出来ました。
セスナであっという間に14000フィートへ。
セスナから身体が飛び出した時は、怖かったですが
飛んだらあっという間の時間でした。
今回、オプションのGoProの写真だけのつもりでしたが
記念に動画も購入しました。
セットで199ドルでした。
また、挑戦したいです。

It was amazing! You have to do it!! A tip of $20 for the diver and $10 for the driver is essential. If you're taking photos, you should also give $20 for the diver who flies with you. The locker costs $1 (four quarters, with a change machine available). The French toast from the van next to the waiting area was delicious for $6. Just to be safe, it's best to take motion sickness medication right before the hotel pick-up. I will definitely do it again!!

最高です！やってください！！チップはダイバーに20ドル、ドライバーに10ドルは必須です。カメラ等撮るなら、一緒に飛んでくれるダイバーの分も20ドル。ロッカーは1ドル(クォーター4枚、両替機あり)待合横のワゴン車のフレンチトースト6ドルが美味しかったです。一応、酔い止めは、ホテルにお迎え来る直前に飲んで置いた方が無難です。また絶対やります！！

I participated as a couple at the age of 22.
The transportation was handled by a local Japanese driver who spoke Japanese, which made me feel very secure.

Depending on the weather, the flight time and waiting time may vary a bit, but in our case, we were able to fly right away, so we didn't waste any time.

I had the best experience of my life, so I am very satisfied.
I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity.

カップルで参加した22歳です。
送迎はしっかりと現地の日本人のドライバーの方で、日本語で話せてすごく安心しました。

天候によって飛ぶ時間や待ち時間も多少前後しますが、自分たちの場合はすぐに飛べたので時間を無駄に使うことがありませんでした。

人生で最高の経験ができたのでとても満足しています。
機会があればまた参加したいです。

It was my first skydiving experience. It was absolutely amazing. I would love to try it again if I have the chance. Thank you!

初めてのスカイダイビングでした。とにかく、最高でした。また、機会があれば挑戦したいと思います。ありがとうございました！

I had an awesome first time experience. The employees treated me well. This experience was a check off my bucket list. I don't know if I'll ever do it again, but if I were to, I would definitely go with North Shore Skydiving and would let all other "first timers" to do the same..My guy Brad, was great, in that he helped feel me comfortable and talked me thru many things, however the jump will explain itself!!

Had to take the 1 hour because the 2 hour was booked. 1 hour was nice but book the 2 hour if you can.

I experienced the famous zip line for the first time!
It rained quite heavily at one point, but the instructor's cheerful talk (I didn't understand the English, but I got the vibe) kept the fun going throughout.
I want to do it again when I go to Hawaii! ^_^

初めて噂のジップラインを体験しました！
途中結構な勢いで雨が降りましたが、雨を気にも留めないインストラクターの方の軽快なトーク(英語わかりませんが雰囲気は伝わりました)で終始楽しめました。
ハワイに行ったらまたやりたいです^_^

This was our first time zip lining. Had a great time! I am afraid of heights, but this is great! The people running the course were great. Would go again.

The tour was blessed with good weather, and we were able to see both the sunset and the starry sky beautifully. I was looking forward to downloading the photos taken by the guide later, but it's very disappointing that the server has been down recently and I can't access them. I hope they can resolve this issue soon so I can see those photos.

ツアーは好天にも恵まれ、サンセットも星空もキレイに見ることができました。
ガイドの方に撮ってもらった写真を後でダウンロードできるとのことで楽しみにしていましたが、最近サーバーダウン中で見ることができない点がとても残念です。
早くあの写真を見ることができるように対応に期待したいと思います。

The trip was well worth the money. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

The sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea was indescribably beautiful. I think it's worth seeing "the sunset sinking below the clouds" at least once! The starry sky was also easy to understand, and I was very satisfied to see the Milky Way and shooting stars!

マウナケア山頂からの夕日は言葉にならない程の美しさでした。「雲の下に沈む夕日」一度は見てみる価値があると思います！
星空は星の説明もわかり易かったですし、天の川や流れ星も見られて大満足です！

On my second trip to Hawaii, I wanted to enjoy more than just the beach, so I joined this tour.

Once on the horse, you have to control it mostly by yourself. About 15 of us form a line, but there are only three staff members scattered in the front, back, and middle, so it can be quite challenging if your horse strays from the line! (Before riding, they show you an instructional video.)

I was lucky that the foreign lady in front of me was experienced with horseback riding. When my horse tried to stray off the path to eat grass, she gave me advice on how to hold the reins, which made me feel more confident even when the staff weren't around.

As I got used to it, I was able to enjoy the scenery, and it was a lot of fun!

You can also reach Kualoa Ranch by bus from Waikiki!

2度目のハワイではビーチだけではない
ハワイの自然を満喫したいと思い
このツアーに参加しました

馬に乗せてもらったら後はほぼ自力で
馬を操らなくてはいけません。
15人くらいで列になって進みますが
スタッフは前後ろ真ん中らへんと３人しか
付いてくれませんので、
馬が列から逸れてしまったりすると大変です笑
(乗る前には説明ビデオを見せてくれます)

私は運良く前の外国人のおば様が
乗馬慣れしてる方だったらしく
私の馬が道から逸れて草を食べようとしたりすると
手綱の持ち方のアドバイスをくれたりしてくれたので
スタッフが周りにいなくても心強かったです笑

慣れてきたら風景も楽しめるようになって
とても楽しかったです！

クアロアランチまでは
ワイキキからバスでもいけますよ！

This time, I arrived at the location and signed up for this tour. I suddenly decided to go to Haleakalā after arriving, so I didn't have any warm clothing, and I chose this tour for the simple reason that it included warm clothing.

As a result, I was very satisfied!

I was surprised to find that almost everyone participating in the tour was a fan of the guide, Yamapi. Ignorance can be terrifying; it turns out that Yamapi is quite a celebrity. I was really surprised to learn that everyone comes to Maui to join Yamapi's stargazing tour—he's incredibly popular. And I was lucky!

I've been on various tours before, but this one was truly great. I want to go back to Maui to participate in this tour again.

今回、現地に着いてこのツアーに申し込みました。現地に着いてから急にハレアカラへ行こうと決めたので、防寒着等を持っておらず、防寒着付きという安易な理由でこのツアーに決めました。

結果、大満足！

何の情報もなく、このツアーに参加してビックリしたこと。それは参加してるほとんどの人がガイドの山ピーさんのファンということ。無知とは恐ろしいもので、この山ピーさん、かなりの有名人だそう。山ピーさんの星空ツアーに参加したくて皆さんマウイへ来てるというから本当にびっくり、大人気。そして私はラッキー♪

今まで色んなツアーへ行ってきましたが、本当によかったです。またマウイへこのツアーに参加しに行きたいと思います。

I booked this trip with my girlfriend over the phone and it was very convenient and turned out like I planned it to, I got all the info I needed and all I had to do was be there on time which wasn't an issue. The skydiving experience was definitely worth it I would definitely go back another time. The staff was friendly and kept us informed on what we needed to do and it went smooth. I would for sure recommend doing the ultimate instead of the regular because you freefall for 60 seconds which goes a lot faster when you are up there and it's an awesome experience and depending on who you fly with they will let you control the parachute for awhile. Definitely give it a try I wasn't disappointed whatsoever!!

A friendly Japanese guide took us to a ranch, as well as to Dole Plantation and for garlic shrimp. Despite being occasionally distracted by horses grazing, we enjoyed horseback riding, which is not something you can easily experience in the city, and the garlic shrimp with no waiting time was delicious!

I would love to join this guide's tour again!

日本人の気さくなガイドさんが、牧場のほかドールプランテーションやガーリックシュリンプを案内してくれました。
時には草を食む馬に翻弄されながらも、都心ではなかなか体験できない乗馬をでき、待ち時間なしのガーリックシュリンプも美味しかったです！

このガイドさんのツアーは、また参加したいと思います！！

My first horseback riding in Hawaii!
As the tour title suggests, it was very active.
There were flat paths, but also narrow downhill trails,
and quite steep climbs, making it challenging to enjoy the surrounding scenery.
However, since the horses are well-trained, I realized towards the end of the course that if I just relaxed and trusted them,
I could enjoy the ride. After that, I was able to relax and fully enjoy the North Shore. (Yay!)

ハワイで、初めての乗馬！
OPツアータイトルの通り、とてもアクティビティでした。
平坦な道かと思えば、細い道の下り坂有り
結構、急な登坂も有りで周りの景色を見るのが大変でした。
しかし、馬の方が教育されているため、乗る側が身を任せれば
良いのがコース終盤で分かりました。
それからの、乗馬はリラックスできノースショアを
満喫できたました。（ヤッフー）

The Sacred Falls Adventure was just perfect for my husband and me. The sites were beautiful! Our tour guide was informative about plants and birds on the way to the waterfall and made our adventure more special!

It was great to watch the sunset from the summit and take photos, and to enjoy the starry sky. I want to go again!

山頂から夕日が落ちるのを眺めて写真を撮り、
満天の星空を楽しめて、とても良かったです。
また行きたいです！

Sunset at Mauna Kea.
On the way, we enjoyed the fun stories from our guide and made a stop for photos. We had a delicious bento and miso soup at the Onizuka Center. As a souvenir, I bought a sticker with an illustration of the Subaru Telescope.
After getting acclimated to the altitude, we took commemorative photos in front of the Subaru Telescope. The sunset was incredibly beautiful... but it went by so quickly.

The night sky afterwards was a bit difficult to see due to the nearly full moon, but we were able to see the Southern Cross. We searched for summer constellations together and took commemorative photos... the pictures of the moon turned out beautifully.

It was a very fulfilling tour.

マウナケアでのサンセット。
道中楽しいガイドさんのお話と途中で下車して写真撮影。オニツカセンターでお弁当とお味噌汁を美味しくいただきました。記念にすばる望遠鏡イラストのステッカーを購入。
ゆっくり高地に慣れてから、すばる望遠鏡の前で記念撮影。サンセットはとても美しく…でもあっという間でした。

その後の星空は、満月に近かったため、一部星が見にくいところもありましたが、南十字星も見れました。夏の星座をみんなで探したり、記念撮影したり…月の写真はとてもきれいに撮れました。

とても充実したツアーでした。

I am so glad we decided to take this hike through Veltra tours, we were provided with walking sticks (which you will definitely need), water and insect repellent. I am a 60 years young female with lower back arthritis, my girlfriend is 72 years young and we both survived and enjoyed it.. The scenery along the hike is beautiful. You should not wear your very nice gym shoes due to some mud and rocks along the way. Getting to the top (end of hike) seems to never come quick enough, but by the end of the hike when you see how beautiful the waterfall is, it becomes well worth it.

There were only Japanese people, and everything was in English. I was surprised when the self-introduction started in the car. I thought I could have enjoyed it more if I could speak English. However, I still had a great time. The teamwork of the staff was also wonderful. I want to go again.

日本人は私たちしかおらず、すべて英語。車の中で自己紹介が始まったのにはビックリしました。英語がしゃべれたらもっと楽しめたのになと思います。が、それでもすごく楽しめました。スタッフのチームワークもとても素晴らしかった。また行きたいです。

The crew were great. We enjoyed our experience. My husband caught a blue marlin. We were hoping to catch more fish at least a maui maui. Still a good time.

I was really satisfied to participate in skydiving with my family, something I had wanted to do before I die! There was some anxiety about jumping, especially since one of my family members has a fear of heights, but we were with high-quality professional staff, so even my scared family members had a blast! Seeing their happy faces made me really glad I participated.

死ぬまでにやってみたかったスカイダイビングを家族で参加出来て本当に大満足でした！　家族に高所恐怖症の人間もいたりで飛ぶまで不安もあったけれど、質の高いプロのスタッフと一緒だったので怖がってた家族も　めっちゃ楽しかったー！と喜んでた顔を見て参加して本当に良かったと思いました。
