All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

Lots of fun! We enjoyed the adventure very much. Our driver to North Shore was wonderful and shared lots of interesting tidbits about the different famous sights (Lost, 50 First Dates, etc.). The only bummer was that our tour guides were very sassy. At times it was hard to tell if they were laughing with us OR at us.

One of the things I wanted to experience before I die was skydiving, and I jumped with my sister. There was no feeling of "falling" like in free fall at all; the wind was so intense that I didn't know how to breathe, which made me panic a bit (I'm glad I asked about it beforehand). The view was unforgettable! If I'm invited to jump again... I will! It was a great experience!

死ぬまでに体験したいこと！のひとつだった「スカイダイビング」姉と2人で飛びました。フリーホールのような「落ちる時のゾワっと感」は全くなく、あまりにすごい風で息の仕方が分からず、焦りましたが（事前に聞いといてよかった）あの景色は忘れられません！
もう一度飛ぼうと誘われたら…飛びます！いい経験でした〜

I didn't expect to catch so many fish. The captain was very cheerful, and the explanations were easy to understand, making the fishing experience enjoyable. The fish we caught were also very delicious and the best!

ここまでたくさん釣れるとは思っていませんでした。キャプテンはとても明るく、
説明もわかりやすくて、たのしく釣りができました。
釣った魚もとても美味しくて最高でした！

I was able to see the best view‼️ The weather was uncertain, but I was really glad to see a beautifully clear sunset.

最高の景色を見ることができました‼️
天気が不安でしたがばっちり綺麗なゆうひをみることができてよかったです。

The ride was beautiful, the horses were teamed up with the appropriate writers. The ladies were very informative about the island, culture, the ranch. My granddaughter and I would totally do this again We loved it!

The stargazing with guides Ishikawa and Big Jin was excellent, with clear and enjoyable explanations. The miso soup with the bento at the Onizuka Center was incredibly delicious, and I apologize that my child asked for seconds twice (^_^;). My younger child was starting to experience a bit of altitude sickness, but since we were taught how to handle it, we were able to see the beautiful sunset, which was truly moving. Thank you very much.

ガイドのIshikawaさんとBigJinさんの星空観測もバッチリでわかりやすく、楽しい解説で良かったです。オニヅカセンターでのお弁当のお味噌汁が最高に美味しくて、すみません子供がおかわりを2回もしてしまいました(^_^;)高山病も下の子が少しなりかけてましたが、対処法を教えてまらってたので、綺麗な夕日も見る事ができて感激です。ありがとうございました。

We participated in a 2.5-hour course as a family of three. Riding over a long distance while galloping on a wide ranch was an experience that is unimaginable in Japan. Getting soaked in a downpour at the end was just part of the charm.

2.5時間コースを家族3人で参加しました。
広い牧場をギャロップを交えながら長い距離を乗れて日本ではありえない経験です。最後に土砂降りでずぶ濡れになったのもご愛嬌です。

Had a great time...our guide "Lucky" made it extra special! Was definately something different than we've ever done before!
Recommend it

I was truly moved to see a number of stars I've never seen before. The owner, Mr. Yamauchi, was wonderful, and it was a very pleasant tour. I completely fell in love with the charm of Maui. I definitely want to participate again.

今まで見た事のない数の星を観れて本当に感動しました
オーナーの山内さんの人柄も申し分なく、とても心地の良いツアーでした
マウイ島の魅力にすっかりはまってしまいました
もう一度是非参加したいです

My first time overseas.
My first time skydiving.

It was truly amazing! I'm so glad to be alive ( ´ ▽ ` )

生まれて初めての海外。
生まれて初めてのスカイダイビング。

ほんっとに最高でした！
生きててよかった( ´ ▽ ` )

This is my second experience. It was thrilling and incredibly refreshing! It's something you can't easily experience in Japan, so you must go when you're in Oahu!

今回で、2回目の体験です。スリル満点で爽快感も抜群！日本ではなかなか体験できないので、オアフに行った際には必ず行くべし！

I had been curious about Keana Farms every time I went to Hawaii. This time, with my husband's enthusiastic "Let's do it!" I made a big decision and booked it on my phone. We tried it as a family of three, and after just a brief explanation from a staff member who spoke a little Japanese, we started right away. There was no time to hesitate, and before we knew it, we were enjoying the experience in the air. We created fun memories filled with amusing episodes, like dropping the camera and needing help from the staff because we couldn't find the red string we were supposed to grab at the finish line. I'm a grandmother who is terrible at sports, usually skips amusement park attractions, has a fear of heights, and doesn't speak English, yet I still had a great time! I would love to do it again if the price were a bit lower! By the way, the camera was returned to the reception. Thank you!

ハワイへ行くたび気になっていたケアナファーム。今回は夫の、やろう！の一言で一大決心し、携帯で予約。娘と3人でトライしました。ちょっとだけ日本語ができるお姉さんの、超簡単な説明を聞いただけですぐにスタートし、躊躇う暇もなく、あれよあれよと言ううちに空中を楽しんでいた私たちです。カメラを落とすとか、ラインのゴールで掴むはずの赤いヒモがわからずスタッフに助けられるとか、面白エピソードつきの楽しい思い出ができました。スポーツまるでダメ、遊園地ののアトラクションもほぼパスの還暦ばあちゃん、しかも高所恐怖症、英語もできない、そんな私でも楽しめました！ もう少し値段が安ければまたやりたい！
ちなみに、カメラは受付に届いていました、•·♥τнänκ чöü♥·•

This year, I wanted to take my daughter to see the sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea and the stargazing experience. Masashi Nature School provided us with warm clothing, hats, and gloves, and the bento and miso soup were delicious, with the cocoa after the meal being very tasty as well. The sunset was beautiful, and the explanation for the stargazing was easy to understand. There was also a service of tea and cookies, which was very comforting in the cold. Last year, when I participated in another tour, they only lent me a jacket, and that was after we arrived at the summit, so I had a cold and experienced altitude sickness. This time, the service was exceptional, and I am very grateful for Matsucchan's lively explanations and photography skills. My daughter was also very satisfied. I was moved by the Milky Way. From now on, I would like to ask Masashi Nature School for their services.

今年は娘を連れてきて、マウナケアケア山頂サンセットと星空観察は是非見せたかったものでした。マサシネイチャースクールさんは、上下防寒着と帽子、手袋まで貸してくださった上、お弁当や味噌汁も美味しく、食後のココアもとても美味しかった。サンセットは綺麗で、星空観察の説明もわかりやすく、紅茶とクッキーのサービスがあり、寒い中あったかいものがとても嬉しかった。昨年他のツアーで参加した時は、防寒着は上だけしか貸してくれず、それも山頂に着いてからだったので、寒くて高山病にかかってしまった経験のある私には、至れり尽くせりのサービスで、松っちゃんのノリのいい説明と写真撮影の技術にとても感謝しています。娘も大満足していました。ミルキーウエイには感動しました。これからは、マサシネイチャースクールにお願いしたいと思います。

We were in Hawaii for our honeymoon and wanted to do something adventurous so we decided to go to Gunstock Ranch for some horseback riding. The booking was really easy and I received a call an hour later with confirmation of my purchase. Shortly after I received an email with the confirmation details and directions to the ranch. The process went really smooth. The route out to the ranch along highway 83 was absolutely spectacular! It goes right along the ocean coast with gorgeous views and the splashing water literally hits your car as you drive by because your so close. The ranch was very nice, easy to get to with a super friendly staff. There are restrooms which were very clean for being outdoors along with sinks to wash your hands afterwards. Plenty of parking.
They take safety precautions when mounting and unmounting the horses. They recommend that you wear a helmet also but you can sign a waiver if you choose not to. The horses are really friendly and very well trained. The trails are absolutely beautiful as you leave the ranch, enter into the mountain side, through forests, up and down hills, and a view of the ocean off in the distance. You get to see the cattle, and the baby calves as you ride. Leanna was our guide and she was very knowledgeable about the ranch, the area, and the horses. I could see her love for them and she was very friendly and made sure everyone in our group was doing good and having a great time. She recommended many things to do on the island and was very helpful answering any questions we had along the way. We had a great time and recommend Gunstock Ranch to anyone who is looking for a great horseback riding experience!

I never thought I would be able to fly, but I made a reservation. In the car on the way, we watched a Japanese safety video. After arriving, there was an explanation in English, followed by a brief posture training before boarding the Cessna. Once on board, I braced myself and waited to jump. The tandem staff tried to ease my nerves with some words, but I was probably looking quite tense. During the free fall, the wind pressure was incredible, making it hard to breathe, and when I watched the video later, it was quite a sight. After the parachute opened, I had the chance to enjoy the view, and since the weather was nice, it felt amazing. I had some anxiety, but it was definitely worth trying.

まさか自分が飛べるとは思いませんでしたが、予約してしまいました。移動の車の中で日本語の注意ビデオを見せられます。着いてからは英語で説明の後、簡単な姿勢の講習でセスナに乗り込みます。乗ってからは覚悟を決めて飛び出すのを待ちます。タンデムのスタッフが緊張を紛らわすように声をかけてくれましたが、だいぶ顔が強張ってたでしょう。フリーフォールの時は凄い風圧で息も苦しく後でビデオを見たらヒドイもんでした。パラシュートが開いてからは景色を見る余裕も出来て、天気が良かった事もあり最高の気分でした。不安もありましたがやってみる価値アリです。

I was a bit anxious about my first horseback riding experience, but I was able to watch a Japanese DVD, which made me feel at ease and enjoy it. The vast grounds were very pleasant. However, since we were outside for an hour and the horses move slowly, the same spots were exposed to UV rays for a long time. Sun protection is essential. I ended up getting a bad sunburn on my shoulders. Ladies, please be careful.

初の乗馬で少し不安もありましたが、日本語のDVDを見せてもらうことができ、安心して楽しむことができました。
広大な敷地でとても気持ちよかったです。
ただ、1時間と外にいる時間が長く馬はゆっくりなので同じ場所に紫外線が当たることになります。日焼け対策は必須です。私は肩がとても焼けてしまいました。女性の方注意してください。

There were three cars running besides the lead car, but the other two were very slow, constantly going and stopping. It's disappointing that I couldn't drive comfortably.

先導車以外で3台走行でしたが他の2台が非常に遅く行っては待ち、行っては待ちの繰り返し。
気持ち良く走れず残念。

I experienced skydiving for the first time. When I jumped out of the plane, I was momentarily intimidated by the view below, but the instructor made me jump without giving me a chance to hesitate, so it wasn't like the scenes you see on TV (laughs). As for skydiving... you should experience it for yourself! I especially recommend it for those who have never tried it before! It seems to be more affordable than experiencing it in Japan.

初めてスカイダイビングを体験しました。飛行機から飛び出す際、眼下の景色に一瞬怯んでしまいましたが、インストラクターが有無も言わせずジャンプするので、TVでありがちなシーンにはなりませんでした(笑)。そしてスカイダイビングは・・・ご自身で体験されて下さい！
経験のない方なら、なおさらお勧めしたいところです！日本国内で体験するよりもリーズナブルなようですし。

Great experience. very funny driving, seeing nice places. Make sure u have a sunglass and hat, maybe something to cover your mouth while driving because of the dust. get ready to get dirty but its a lot of fun!!!

I didn't understand English, so I was very anxious from the reception to the riding time, but the instructors were kind and attentive, which was great.

英語がわからず、受付から騎乗までの時間は大変不安でしたが、インストラクターの方たちが親切丁寧でよかったです。

I was scared at first but the tour guides were comforting. I had so much fun and they were so funny. Josh and Joe were our guides but Josh was our favorite. Don't tell Joe. They even made that classic 'time share' joke that never gets old on this island. Thank you guys so much! If I'm ever back here again, I'll be down for another adventure.

Horseback riding in Hawaii's great outdoors, just like Jurassic Park, was amazing. I was impressed by the cuteness and intelligence of the horses.

まさにジュラシックパークのようなハワイの大自然での乗馬は最高でした。
馬の可愛さと賢さに感動です。

I was really anxious until I flew, but the instructor's American jokes made it not scary. Once I flew, it felt great. I want to try it again when I go to Hawaii. The price is also cheaper than in Japan.

飛ぶまでは凄く不安でしたがインストラクターのアメリカンジョークで怖くなかったです。
飛ぶと気持ちよく
またハワイに行った時に飛んでみたいです。
値段も日本よりの安いです。

I love the Big Island and have visited many times, but this was my first time participating in this tour, which I had been curious about. The bus slowly ascended towards the summit of Mauna Kea, and I could feel the thinning oxygen. During a break, we enjoyed a bento box and warm drinks, and after putting on our warm clothing, we finally reached the top! It felt like a different world! There were people snowboarding on the snow-covered mountain. And the sea of clouds spread out below us! The sun gradually set, and we were able to see a magnificent sunset. The surroundings were enveloped in the evening glow, and I could feel the mana in the sacred atmosphere. From there, the crescent moon and Venus appeared, and as it got darker, the night sky was filled with stars. I've never seen the Milky Way so clearly! The guide used a pointer to explain the constellations, making it easy to understand! There was also a service for warm drinks, and we could take commemorative photos with a high-performance camera against the starry sky. It was a wonderful service to be able to view and download the photos taken during the tour later on the web. I'm really glad I participated. I'm grateful for the amazing experience!

ハワイ島が大好きで、何度も訪れていましたが、このツアーは気になっていながらも初参加でした。
バスはゆっくりとマウナケアの山頂へ向けて登って行き、次第に酸素が薄くなるのが分かります。
途中の休憩でお弁当と温かい飲み物も頂き、防寒着を着用したらいよいよ頂上です～(^.^)
そこはまるで別世界！雪に覆われた山ではスノボーをしている人もいました。
そして眼下に広がる雲海！太陽が徐々に沈み、見事な夕陽を見ることができました♪
辺りは夕焼けに包まれ、神聖な空気の中にマナを感じることができます。
そこからは三日月と金星が現れ、暗くなるにつれて夜空は満点の星☆
こんなにはっきりと天の川を見たことはありません！
ガイドさんがポインターを使って星座を説明してくれるので分かりやすい！！
そこでは温かい飲み物のサービスと、星空をバックに高性能カメラで記念写真も撮って貰えます。
ツアー中に撮って貰った写真を後からWebで見れてダウンロードできるのは、とても嬉しいサービスですね♪
参加して本当に良かったです。素晴らしい体験ができて感謝です>^_^<

This is a must for anyone visiting Kauai. The staff were exceptional and the tour was too. It was my favorite part of the vacation.

It's important not to have high expectations. When you come to Waikiki, you can't help but think about catching big fish or a lot of them, but with that shabby gear and rod, it's impossible. It feels like I'm just wandering around places where there are definitely no fish, and it's kind of embarrassing.

期待しない事がだいじ。やはり、ワイキキまで来たらデカイ魚や、数がたくさん釣れるとか考えてしまいますが、あのボロい仕掛けと竿では無理。ポイントも絶対に魚が居ない所をウロウロして馬鹿にされてるみたいです。

Had a great time, first time on zip line, I will be doing it again. Just a heads up, your shoes will get dirty, so don't wear the new ones. Thanks Bundy and Mack

This time, my family of three participated in a five-person buggy ride, and I never imagined that racing through nature in a buggy could be so much fun. The weather was great, the scenery was amazing, and my child was thrilled with the new experience. I would like to stop by Kualoa again during our stay in Hawaii. Thank you very much.

今回、家族3人で、５人乗りバギーに参加したのですが、
大自然の中を、バギーで疾走するのが、こんなに楽しいとは想像できませんでした。
天気も良く景色も最高で、子供も未体験の感覚に喜んでおります。
またハワイ滞在の際には、クアロアに立ち寄りたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

If you have to choose one paid activity/tour to do on the Big Island, my friends and I definitely recommend the Mauna Kea Summit and Stargazing tour! It was an experience of a lifetime! From the AMAZING views from sunset to stargazing to the amazing, informative and friendly staff, I would definitely do this tour again, if only for the views!

Great time and great guides. Enjoyed every minute.
