All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

There were several groups of Japanese people, so we were also provided with a guide in Japanese! The guide was very kind, and I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind! I was completely satisfied with the view from the summit, the sunset, and the night sky!

日本人のグループが複数いたので、日本語でのガイドもしていただけました！
ガイドさんは親切な方で、安心して楽しめました！
山頂からの景色、夕日、夜空全てに大満足です！

I initially thought about going with a four-wheeler, but the kids said it would be boring since they couldn't drive themselves, so we chose this instead. It was my first time on an e-bike, and I was worried, but there was practice at the beginning, and my middle school and upper elementary school daughters had no problems. The guide was a really nice person, and his explanations were interesting with jokes mixed in. He took a lot of great photos at the photo spots. It was late August in the afternoon, and I was concerned about the heat, but there were many clouds that day, so it was fine.

最初は四輪バギーにしようと思っていたのですが、子供たちが自分で運転できないのはつまらないというので、こちらにしました。Eバイクは初めてなので心配でしたが、最初に練習もあり、中学生と小学校高学年の娘でも問題なかったです。
ガイドさんがとてもいい人で、解説もジョークを交えて面白かったし、フォトスポットでは映える写真をたくさん撮ってくれました。
8月下旬の午後で、暑さが心配でしたが、当日は雲が多くて大丈夫でした。

An extraordinary experience that you can't find anywhere else. The local staff and instructors were all delightful people, making it an even more enjoyable experience! Also, it's okay if you're not great at English!

他では経験出来ない非日常
現地スタッフの方、インストラクターの方も愉快な人達ばかりでより楽しい体験になりました！
後英語が苦手じゃなくても大丈夫です！

We enjoyed a perfect sunset and stargazing was cold, but worth it. The tour guide and driver were very good, professional and enthusiastic.

Previously, I participated in a tour where we were driven around, but this time we joined a self-driving tour. It was a dynamic experience that was thrilling and allowed us to feel nature up close. The guide spoke English, and although I couldn't understand everything, they made a great effort to communicate in a fun way. They also took photos at various points, making it a wonderful experience.

以前は、乗せてもらうツアーに参加しましたが、今回は自分達で運転するツアーに参加しました。
迫力があり、自然を間近に感じるダイナミックな体験ができます。
ガイドの方は英語ですが、（全部理解はできませんでしたが）
一生懸命楽しく伝えようとして頂きました。ポイントでは写真も撮ってくださり、良い経験になりました。

The first time, the tour was canceled due to rare bad weather. I made a comeback two days later. The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds was stunning. By chance, there was also an eruption at Kilauea, and I was able to see the phenomenon of the sky turning red above the sea of clouds, which made me very satisfied. Next time, I will go on a sunrise tour.

1回目は滅多にない悪天候により、ツアー中止。再度、2日後にリベンジしました。雲海に沈む夕陽。偶然、キラウエアの噴火もあり、雲海の上に赤く染まる現象も見えて、大満足でした。次回は日の出ツアーにいきます

I was very satisfied! The weather was great, and I was able to fully enjoy both the sunset and stargazing. The guide was very skilled at storytelling, which further enhanced my satisfaction with this tour. I'm really glad I participated!

P.S. Following your advice, I kept an eye on the volcano's live camera, and I was able to see the impressive lava flow during today's eruption. Thank you very much.

大満足でした！
お天気にも恵まれ日の入りも星空観察も十分楽しむことができました。
ガイドさんのお話がとても上手で、更にこのツアーの満足度を高めてくれました。
参加して本当に良かったです！

p.s. 助言通りにボルケーノのライブカメラを見張って、見事今日溶岩が流れる噴火を見に行くことができました。ありがとうございました。

The good: Black Sand Beach and Volcanoes National Park are as good as they can be. Halema'uma'u Crater is amazing.

The average: The Coffee Farm we visited is a small one. We saw the coffee plants, but didn't see much about how the coffee is produced as the machines are taken apart and stored. Food is ok-ish, lunch is fast-food bento, dinner is at a small restaurant.

The unfortunate: We didn't see any star due to the cloudy weather. If you want to do stargazing, join a stargazing group as they will have better planning and equipment.

Since all participants were Japanese, the guide was in Japanese. In addition to Mauna Kea and the starry sky, they also explained about the Big Island during the drive there. I was worried about getting altitude sickness, but the guide asked about my condition and gave advice like taking deep breaths, which made me feel at ease. It got chilly as the sun set, but they lent me a down coat. I was really glad to have participated, as I was able to fully enjoy both the sunset and the starry sky!

参加者が日本人のみだったため、すべて日本語でのガイドでした。マウナケアや星空だけでなく、行きの車の中ではハワイ島についても説明してくれました。
高山病になってしまうのではと不安でしたが、ガイドさんが体調について聞いてくれたり、深呼吸をすると良いなどアドバイスもしてくれたため、安心できました。
夕陽が沈むにつれて冷え込みましたが、ダウンコートを貸していただけました。
サンセットも星空もじっくりとみることができたので、本当に参加して良かったです！

Experience the awe of Mauna Kea, which is taller than Mount Fuji. You too can feel the emotion of gradually transitioning from sunset to twilight and becoming one with the starry sky. The cocoa that stands out against the cold sky is delicious. The guide's explanations and everyone's faces were flushed with excitement. It was a great experience, but if possible, the seats in the vehicle could be a bit more spacious. Having headrests would also be a nice addition.

富士山より高いマウナケアで体感する感動を貴方もどうぞ。
夕日から徐々に薄暗くなり星空と一体になる感動を貴方にも。
寒空に映えるココアは美味しいぞ。
ガイド説明も皆の顔も紅潮。
良かった体験なのですが、出来れば車内の座席はもう少しゆったりと。
ヘッドレストもあれば　尚、可です。

We decided to take on skydiving, a dream we've had as a couple for many years. Go Jump, which has been featured on TV programs in Japan, has instructors who are incredibly friendly and kind, making it easy to trust them even for a first-time challenge. The check-in process at the front was very smooth. We received the photos and videos we had pre-ordered via email, allowing us to enjoy the experience from start to finish. We are truly grateful to everyone at Go Jump.

夫婦で長年の夢だったスカイダイビングを挑戦することに。日本国内でもテレビ番組で放送されたことのあるGo Jumpは、インストラクターの皆さんがとにかくフレンドリーで優しく、初めてのチャレンジでも安心して身を任せることができました。フロントでの受付もとてもスムーズです。前もって申し込んでいた写真や動画をメールで頂き、最初から最後まで心から楽しめました。Go Jumpの皆さんに心から感謝しています。

As a couple who are huge fans of the Jurassic series, this was a place we absolutely wanted to visit for our honeymoon. It was my first time riding a horse, so I was a bit nervous, but there was a proper briefing beforehand, and all the horses were well-behaved, so I had no worries during the ride. The highlight, without a doubt, is the breathtaking view! The scenery is beyond description, and I highly recommend it.

夫婦でジュラシックシリーズの大ファンなので、新婚旅行でどうしても訪れたかった場所です。お馬さんに乗るのも初めてだったので緊張しましたが、きちんと前もってのレクチャーもありましたし、お馬さんたちもみんなお利口さんなので、乗馬中は心配なかったです。見どころは、なんといってもその絶景！見晴らしの良さは説明不要で、是非ともおすすめしたいです。

You should try skydiving at least once in your life! I wanted to create the best memories in Hawaii, so I booked a skydiving experience. I had watched videos on YouTube beforehand, but it was much scarier than I had imagined. It became a lifelong memory!

一生に一度はスカイダイビングを！
ハワイで最高の思い出を作りたい！
と思い、スカイダイビングを予約しました。事前にyoutubeなどで動画を観ていましたが、想像してたよりもずっと怖かったです。一生の思い出になりました！

This is my fourth trip to Hawaii. I finally fulfilled my long-held dream! I was simply moved in front of the magnificent nature created by the Big Island. This time, it rained a little along the way, so I hope to visit again in sunny weather next time.

4度目のハワイ旅行。ついに念願叶いました！ハワイ島が創り出した大自然の前に、ただただ感動。。今回途中で小雨が降ってきたので、次回は晴れの中伺いたいです。

Experiencing skydiving in Hawaii, something I've always wanted to do, was amazing! 😊 From the very beginning, I felt no fear at all, only excitement, and when I jumped, the view opened up and the fun doubled! The instructor kept the energy high before the jump, during the flight, and after landing, which was absolutely fantastic!

There wasn't much waiting time, and although there were some clouds, the weather was good! In fact, jumping from above the clouds allowed for the rare experience of bursting through the clouds during free fall and then seeing the view spread out before me, which was great!

I will definitely come back to dive again! 🪂

ずっとやりたいと思っていたスカイダイビングをハワイという地で体験出来て最高でした😊
自分の場合最初から怖さは全くなく楽しみしかなくていざ飛んだ時にブワって景色が見えて楽しさがさらに倍増しました！
インストラクターも飛ぶ前からセスナの中、飛んでる間、飛んだ後もすごくテンションを上げてくれてめちゃくちゃ最高だった！

待ち時間もそこまでなく、雲は多少あったのですが、天気は良かったです！
でも逆に雲の上から飛ぶので、フリーフォールで雲の中を抜けた後に景色がブワって広がる貴重な体験が出来たので良かったです！

また絶対ダイブしにきます🪂

Driving a buggy myself while touring movie filming locations was amazing. It took about two hours to joyfully explore the vast grounds. I ended up covered in dust from the swirling sand, but that gave me a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment, which was fantastic. The staff provided explanations about the area, but I couldn't understand English, so I would have appreciated a Japanese guide.

自分でバギーを運転しての映画の撮影スポット巡りは最高でした。広大な敷地を約2時間かけて爽快に周ります。巻き上がる砂煙で全身がドロドロになりますが、それはそれでやりきった感と充実感があって最高でした。
スタッフにより、現地の説明があるのですが、英語が分からず、日本語ガイドがあれば、嬉しかったです、、、

My first zipline experience! There were about ten participants, and at first, we received help from the instructor to put on the necessary gear like harnesses and helmets. After that, we took a van up to the starting point on the hill. Once we arrived, we received a briefing on safety precautions for ziplining and then descended the first zipline over grass to confirm our basic movements. From there, we continued at quite a speed over a valley with three waterfalls and above the river. We took breaks along the way for hydration and fruit, enjoying the thrill of eight ziplines, including the longest one over 600 meters. (Originally there were nine, but the eighth zipline was under maintenance, so we did a total of eight.) The speed and height were a bit scary at first, but by the end, I was able to enjoy the scenery. Some experienced adults and children even went upside down while zipping, having a great time.

初めてのジップライン体験！10人くらいの参加者で、最初はインストラクターに手伝ってもらいながらハーネス？やヘルメットなどの必要な装備を装着。そこからワゴン車に乗って丘の上の方にある出発点に連れられて行かれます。到着したらジップライン滑空時の注意事項などの説明を受け1本目の草地の上のジップラインを下り基本動作を確認。その先は三連滝のある渓谷の上や川の上を結構なスピードで続けて下って行きます。途中で水分補給やフルーツをいただいて休憩も取りつつ最も長いので600mを超える長さのものを含む8本のジップラインを爽快感を味わいながら下りました。(本来9本ながら8番目のジップラインがメンテナンス作業中だったため計8本に)スピード感、高さとも最初はちょっと怖いくらいでしたが、最後の方では景色を楽しむ余裕が出て来ました。慣れている大人や子どもの中には逆さまになって下る人たちもいて楽しんでいました。

Loved it , but wish we could’ve done more of Jurassic park stuff. But overall fun!

I can't speak English, but they explained things in an easy-to-understand way, allowing me to fly safely, enjoyably, and refreshingly. Towards the end, I felt a sense of unity with the unfamiliar foreigners, as if we were a family for a moment.

英会話はできないけど、わかりやすい言葉で説明して頂き、安全に楽しく、爽快に飛ぶことができました。
最後の方は知らない外国人達と一体感がうまれ、ひとときの家族の様でした。

Sunset and Stargazing was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We were taken to the top of Halakela to see the amazing views, then due to the crowds we went a little lower to a secluded viewing area, chairs were provided, snacks and tea. Watched a amazing sunset, were provided Jackets as it gets cold after the sunset. Stargazing was unreal! Two powerful Telescopes were used, saw stars and the craters of the moon like never have. It was a memory of a lifetime.

The weather was great, and the feeling of riding a buggy through the great outdoors was incredible. The ocean, sky, and mountains offered a wonderful view. I heard it’s a filming location for various movies. I had an amazing time enjoying nature.

天気もよく、大自然の中バギーで滑走する気持ちよさたまらんですよー
海、空、山素晴らしい絶景
色々な映画のロケ地との事。
大自然を満喫できてサイコーでした。

I wasn't confident about driving to the summit of Mauna Kea, so I decided to join a tour. In hindsight, it was a great decision!

They picked us up from Waikoloa, and after a break at the visitor center for altitude acclimatization, we made our way to the summit of Mauna Kea. With the guide's explanations, I was able to deepen my understanding of the history of the Big Island and important points about Mauna Kea.

Although the summit was quite crowded, we found a recommended spot by the guide and enjoyed the sunset without anyone obstructing our view. During the stargazing afterward, we were able to look at the moon through a telescope while sipping hot cocoa, and the guide explained the constellations. It was a packed experience, and I was very satisfied!

They also provided equipment for altitude sickness, such as warm clothing and oxygen masks, so I recommend the tour for anyone who has even a slight concern. The sandwiches they provided as a light snack were surprisingly delicious!

マウナケア山頂までの運転に自信がなかったのでツアーを利用しました。
結果、大正解でした！

ワイコロアからピックアップしていただき、途中ビジターセンターで高所順応を兼ねた休憩から、マウナケア山頂まで、ガイドの方の説明で、ハワイ島の歴史やマウナケアの注意点など理解を深めることができました。

山頂はかなり人が多かったですが、ガイドの方のおすすめスポットに陣取り、誰にも視界を邪魔されずに日の入りを楽しむことができました。
その後の天体観測でも、ホットココアを飲みながら望遠鏡で月を見せていただいたり、星座を解説していただいたりなど、盛りだくさんの内容で大満足です！

防寒着や酸素マスクなど、高山病に備えた機材も準備されているので、少しでも不安がある方はツアーがおすすめです。
軽食で用意されていたサンドイッチも期待していなかったのですが非常に美味しかったです笑

The sunset spreading over the sea of clouds was truly breathtaking. While gazing at the sky changing colors moment by moment, I felt a precious sense of the Earth's vastness. The starry sky I saw afterward was also incredibly beautiful, a completely different world from the night sky I'm used to, and the experience of clearly seeing the Milky Way will surely become a lifelong memory.

It got quite chilly near the summit, but I was able to borrow warm clothing, allowing me to enjoy the experience outside until the end. I believe joining the tour was the right choice, and I was able to fully appreciate the charm of Mauna Kea.

雲海の上に広がる夕焼けはまさに圧巻でした。刻々と色が変わる空を眺めながら、地球の大きさを感じられる貴重な時間でした。その後に見た満天の星空も、本当に息をのむ美しさ。普段見慣れた夜空とはまるで別世界で、天の川がはっきり見える体験は一生の思い出になりそうです。
頂上付近はかなり冷え込みましたが、防寒具を貸してもらえたので最後まで外でゆっくり堪能できました。ツアーで参加して正解だったと思いますし、マウナケア山の魅力を存分に味わえました。

First, we start with an easy hike. Enjoying the nature of Hawaii, we walk along a trail that takes about 30 minutes one way to the waterfall, where we take a break to listen to stories and enjoy the falls. The path is not steep, so even beginners can manage the hike.

After that, we move to Tantalus Lookout, where we enjoy the scenery before riding down on a mountain bike. The distance is about 4-5 km, and since it's all downhill, it's a refreshing ride. We take a route with very little traffic, so it was no problem to film with a GoPro. I was able to enjoy a different side of Hawaii!

まずは簡単はハイキングから始まります。
ハワイの自然を楽しみながら、滝までの片道30分程度の小道を歩き、滝で休憩しながら話を聞いたり、滝を楽しみます。
険しい道ではないので、ハイキング初心者でも大丈夫です。
その後、タンタラスの丘まで移動し、タンタラスの丘からの風景を楽しんだ後、マウンテンバイクで駆け降ります。
4-5km程度の距離で、下りのみなので爽快に降りるのみです。
車の通りがかなり少ない道を行きますので、Go Proを撮影しながらでも特に問題ありませんでした。
ハワイの違う一面を楽しむことができました！

On the day of the trip, it was very foggy, and we waited a bit to see if we could make it to the summit, but we were able to get the ranger's permission and enjoyed a wonderful sunset and starry sky. It was 32% after the new moon, but there were no issues with stargazing. Our guide, Shotaro, was very kind and spoke Japanese well; he was perfect in every way. Any worries about altitude sickness disappeared, and it was the best time. The sandwiches we had at the summit were incredibly delicious!

当日は霧が濃く、頂上まで行けるか様子を見ながら少し待機しましたが、無事にレンジャー許可がおり、素晴らしい夕陽と星空を観ることが出来ました。
新月後32%でしたが、星空観測には問題ありませんでした。
ガイドのショウタロウはとても親切で日本語も上手、すべてにおいて完璧。
高山病の不安も吹き飛び、最高の時間でした。
山頂で食べるサンドウィッチも美味しすぎ～。

This was my second experience. It had been six years since my last visit, and I was impressed by how well-trained the horses are, just like before. They let you ride alone right away, and you get to experience long rides for extended periods, which is a riding style that you wouldn't find in Japan—it's truly moving!

During my first visit, they took many more photos, so I thought it would have been nice if they could have changed the order a bit so that I could have had my picture taken while riding as well. Since my family was at the front, I was disappointed that no one could take my picture.

2度目の体験です。今回は6年ぶりでしたが、相変わらずよくトレーニングされている馬さんたちで感心していました。
いきなり一人で乗せてくれるし、しかも長時間長距離を体験させてくれるし、日本では考えられない乗馬スタイルで、感動します！
1回目に行ったときは、もっといろいろな写真を撮ってくださったので
できたら、進順番を変えてくれると、私も乗っている姿を写真に撮ってもらえたのかなーと思いました。家族で先頭で乗っていたので、誰にも撮ってもらえず残念でした。

The tour guide shared various interesting facts, and it was so much fun. The sunset and stars were more beautiful than anything I've ever seen, and it became a wonderful memory.

ツアーガイドさんが色々な豆知識を教えてくれて超楽しかったです。
夕日も星も今まで見たことないくらい綺麗でとても良い思い出になりました

I was expecting a jungle tour, but it was just a simple jeep exploration of the jungle. I had hoped for a course that included locations from Jurassic World, but I couldn't make a reservation, so I reluctantly booked this tour, which turned out to be quite boring.

期待していましたジャングルツアーではなく、単純なジッープでのジャングルの探検でした。
ジュラシックワールドのロケ地が入ったコースを希望していましたが、予約がとれずに、やむなく、このツアーに予約しましたが、たいくつなツアーでした。

I participated because it was said that you could join without a license, but it was just a slow line of cars and not interesting at all. If that's the case, I'd much rather go to Yanbaru in Okinawa, which is a hundred times more fun.

免許がなくても乗れるということで参加しましたがちんたら列をなして走るだけでなんの面白みもなかった。これなら沖縄のやんばるんちゃの方が１００倍楽しい

I was very, very satisfied with the experience. Thank you very much. The horse was gentle and made me feel safe. It seems that a family participating in the same tour accidentally got on a different tour's vehicle, which delayed our departure by about 30 minutes, resulting in a shorter stay at Dole Plantation, and that was disappointing.

とてもとても満足な内容でした。
有難うございます。
馬は大人しいし安心です。
同じツアーに参加のご家族が　違うツアーの車に乗ってしまったようで　３０分程出発が遅れ　ドールプランテーションの滞在が少なくなり　そこが残念でした。
