All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I was worried about altitude sickness, and even when I wanted to go to Mauna Kea during my past trip to the Big Island, I couldn't. This time, my husband really wanted to go, so I decided to join him.

To put it simply, I had no worries at all and was able to go and come back feeling great. I only felt a little short of breath at times. There were some people in the tour who felt unwell, but it seemed that oxygen inhalation resolved their issues.

Above all, I was moved by the indescribably beautiful orange color of the sun sinking into the sea of clouds. The Earth is amazing!! And then, the stars we saw afterward sparkled even more than in a planetarium...

I'm so glad I participated!!

I highly recommend that you go and experience it for yourself!!

高山病が不安で、過去にハワイ島に行ったときも行きたいと思いつつ、行けなかったマウナケア。今回は、夫がどうしても行きたい、というので思い切って参加しました。
結果から言うと、まったく心配なく、元気に行って帰れました。
少し息苦しいかな？という程度で。
ツアーの中に、具合を悪くされた方もいましたが、酸素吸入で問題なかったようでしたし。

なにより、雲海に沈んでゆく太陽の、なんとも言い難いほどの美しいオレンジ色に、感動します。
地球って、素晴らしい！！
そして、そのあとで見た星の、プラネタリウム以上の煌めき・・・・
参加してよかった～！！

ぜひとも、行ってみられることをお勧めいたします！！

We celebrated our June birthdays with a glorious 1 hr trail ride at your ranch on Tues June 6. The wranglers starting with Tate and the other girls were professional, extremely nice and treated us all like royalty! Our horses were gentle and extremely professional as well. The sights were magnificent and we would highly recommend the Gunstock Ranch to any tourists and locales visiting the North Shore!

I participated with my parents. I've been to the North Shore many times, but this was my first time horseback riding there! It was fun to see the ocean while riding. My parents enjoyed it too. However, there was absolutely no service, like taking photos for us, and in the end, we had to ask for a picture, but there was no communication at all, so we weren't even sure if it was taken or not... (laughs) I thought they could be a bit friendlier. (laughs) It had been a while since I visited Haleiwa, and I was surprised at how much it had changed. (laughs) Overall, the tour was very good!

両親と参加しました。
ノースは何度も行ってますが、ノースでの乗馬は初めて！
海を見ながら、楽しかったです。両親も楽しんでました。
ただ、写真を撮ってくれたりなどサービスが全くなく、最後にお願いして撮ってもらいましたが、声かけもなにもなく、撮れているんだかないんだかで。。（苦笑）もう少し愛想よくすればいいのに・・と思いました。（笑）
久々のハレイワ、あまりに変わっててびっくりしました。（笑）
ツアー的には、とてもよかったです！

We participated as a family of five.
Listening to the wonderful stories from our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, while stargazing is something the kids will definitely remember for a lifetime!
This is an absolute must-do on a tour of Maui!
I'm not great at expressing it in words, so please be sure to experience it for yourself!

家族5人での参加です。
ガイドの山内さんの素敵な話を聞きながらの星空観測は子供たち一生懸命忘れないと思います！
マウイ島のツアーでこれは絶対に外せないです！
言葉で伝えるの下手くそなので、是非体験してください！

On May 31, 2017, my husband and I participated! Recently, ziplining has become popular in Japan, and we were very interested. At that time, I happened to find this perfect site while browsing and immediately made a reservation!

On the day of the event, they picked us up at a nearby hotel, and we headed to Keana Farm with the other participants! Besides us, all four other couples were from English-speaking countries, and our driver couldn't speak Japanese, which made us a bit anxious. However, there was an instructor on-site who was fluent in Japanese, which put us at ease.

We put on our gear and got started! I thought the first line would be a bit scary, but it turned out to be an amazing thrill! While moving around the farm in a buggy, the instructor was kind, fun, and safety-conscious, and before we knew it, our enjoyable time had flown by. I felt like Spider-Man amidst the magnificent nature of Hawaii.

2017/5/31に、夫婦で参加いたしました！日本でも、最近はジップラインができてきて
興味深々でした。そんな時に、丁度サイトを見ていたら絶好なの見付け即、予約！
当日、近くのホテルまで迎えにきて頂き、他の参加者といざ、ケアナファームへ！
私達、夫婦以外は4組全員英語圏の方でドライバーさんも、日本語は出来ずちょい不安でしたが
現地の、インストラクターに日本語が堪能な方がいて、安心しました。
装備を付け、いざ開始！1本目は、ちょいと怖いかと思いましたがイヤイヤ最高な爽快感！
ファームの中を、バギーで移動しながらインストラクターの方が親切に、楽しく安全に、
配慮しながら進み、あっと言うまに楽しい時間が過ぎました。ハワイの壮大な自然の中を、
スパイダーマンになった気分でした。

The weather in Hawaii is unpredictable. Just when I thought it was going to rain, it cleared up and a rainbow appeared. The dive from 4,000 feet was thrilling, and the beautiful views of Hawaii's sky, mountains, and ocean were truly amazing! Also, the instructors were handsome (there are various types, but they were great)! I think those who are prone to motion sickness or on windy days should take precautions.

ハワイの天気は変わりやすい。雨だと思ったら晴れて虹がでた。上空4000からのダイブはスリル満点でハワイの美しい空と山と海の景色は本当に素晴らしい！そして、インストラクターがイケメン(色々な方がいますが)で素敵でした！風が強い日や酔いやすい方は対策が必要だと思います。

At the Onizuka Center at 2800 meters, it was cloudy during dinner, but above around 3200 meters, we were above the clouds. It felt like a different world, almost like the sunlight of outer space. When we reached the summit, the clouds were far below us, and the moment of sunset was breathtaking; the sunset was beautiful too. The highlight was stargazing, realizing just how many stars there are. The world is so vast! I'm glad I came!

2800ｍのオニヅカセンターで夕食のときは雲の中だったのですが、3200ｍあたりから雲の上に。地球とは思えない別世界、もはや宇宙の日差しです。頂上までいくと雲ははるか下で、日没の瞬間は感動的、夕焼けもきれいでした。圧巻は星空観測で、星ってこんなにたくさんあったのかと。世界は広いなあ！来てよかった！

This was a very nice trip to take if you've never driven the road to Hana. There are some 600 turns and 57 one lane bridges, which seemed crazy in a rental car. Downside being If you want to stay and explore - you can't. Beyond that our tour guide, Bill, was very knowledgeable and told us lots of interesting facts. In addition to the Lava Tube Cave (which was very cool!) we also saw the black sand beach and a few waterfalls. Also the swim is cold but refreshing! They feed you so besides snacks you really don't need anymore than what they list when you register. If you get car sick, makes sure to bring something for that!

I had a wonderful experience! Although it was a full moon, making it a bit difficult to observe the stars, I was more than satisfied. Thank you!

とても素敵な体験が出来ました！
満月だった為、星は少し観察しずらかったとのことですが。十二分に満足出来ました。
ありがとうございます。

I took this tour with my 8 year old and I wouldn't call this the highlight of our trip. I consider both of us in fairly good shape, and kayaking up Wailua was still quite challenging, especially with the wind. The tour guide seemed to be in a hurry so it added to the stress. The hiking part was quite difficult with rocks, roots, steep climbs and descents. Here again, our tour guide rushed through the forest, not even waiting for some of the slower group members. The "scrumptious" advertised lunch was awful - a stale deli sandwich and a pre-packaged cookie. The waterfall was the only redeeming moment of this tour. All in all, unless you're an adventurous young couple in good shape, I would not recommend this tour.

This experience is certainly off the beaten pack and is an amazing way to explore the nearly inaccessible Waipio Valley.
We met at the meeting point and we were driven down into the valley down one of the gnarliest roads I've ever been on in a 4x4 to the stables.
We were introduced to our horses and led on a serene trek through the valley. We went through rivers and around small holdings that are dotted around the valley. We marvelled, from a distance, at incredible waterfalls as we trekked through paths with fields on one side and jungle on the other. It was awesome.
Our guide was great and it's something we'll both always remember. We're not riders but we're extremely well looked after.
It was great. Thank you!!

Four years ago, I participated in the same 2.5-hour course. At that time, I expressed my hope for improvement due to the significantly reduced riding time. Believing that improvements had been made, I joined this time, and we departed around 9:15 and had riding time until just after 10:40. I think it's quite terrible to pay for a 2.5-hour course and receive a tour that doesn't even meet the 1.5-hour duration. The gate to the tour meeting place was also chained, and I was told to open it myself.

4年前にも同じ2.５時間コースに参加しました。その際にも大幅に乗馬時間が短縮されたことに改善希望を感想としてお伝えしました。改善されたことを信じて参加した今回は、9時15分頃から出発して10時40分過ぎまでの乗馬時間でした。2.５時間コースの料金を払い、1.５時間コースに満たないツアーとは、あまりにひどいと思います。ツアー集合場所へのゲートもチェーンがしてあり、自分で開けるようにと言われる始末。

The driver was knowledgeable - talkative - kind - and on time..
the whole experience was great

This tour is recommended for those who are proficient in English since the guide speaks English. All instructions from the guide are also in English. Especially during the cycling after the hike, it can be dangerous if you cannot speak English in case something happens. The hiking course is on a private lane with no other tourists, allowing you to enjoy it quietly and leisurely. You can experience a sense of the jungle more than on the main lane accessible to the general public, fully appreciating Hawaii's nature.

ガイドが英語なので、英語が得意な方におすすめのツアーです。もちろんガイドさんからの注意事項も全て英語です。特にハイキング後に行うサイクリングでは、英語が話せないと何かあったときに危険だと思います。ハイキングコースはプライベートレーンで他の観光客がいないため、静かにゆったり楽しめます。一般者が入ることが可能なメインのレーンよりジャングル感が味わえ、ハワイの自然を存分に感じることができます。

Emily was an excellent tour guide! Me and my 2 adult sons went on this activity and had a great time. We would definitely do it again. Thank you Emily for being an awesome tour guide.

If it were possible to give more than 5 stars I would. The day from start to finish was well organized and ten times more fun than we expected! The zipline tour guides (Charlie, Krys and W) were FANTASTIC! They were fun, full of knowledge and went out of their way to help someone who was struggling with the hikes. The landscape was breathtaking and the lunch was yummy. Can't say enough about Kualoa Ranch and their staff.

Although we arrived at the site early to do paper work and all, the office staff were rude. When I asked a question I was given a short snappy reply with th a quick closure of the sliding window on my face. No further questions could be asked afterwards. At the end during payment transaction for pictures and videos, they had no record of prior payment for the jumps I made and double charged me. They needed to take the time to answer questions at the beginning or explain the process for charges, or at least take the time to go over the charges as they asked for payments. When I tried to explain that I was being double charged, they got irritated that I didn't let them know at the beginning. They are running a high risk business, therefore they need to demonstrate complete confidence and accuracy to customers in all aspects of the business from the beginning to the end.

This is my second time going up Diamond Head Crater, but first time doing it in the morning. There is a difference from morning hike up to afternoon hike up. Enjoy the rewarding view each time. This time I caught a shot of a full rainbow across the ocean. A perspective to see it right from the summit.
Manoa falls was interesting hike, it rained most of the hike; which made it better! Did realize until I looked at the picture I took from the scene of Jurassic Park and then looking at the puddles, envisioning a T-Rex foot, this was that trail.

Pilot was awesome.answered my many questions. Scenery was gorgeous

Wicked cool Will be doing it again.The insteuctors were awesome.

It was an early morning gathering, but skydiving cleared my sleepiness. The weather was perfect with clear skies, and although I was nervous since it was my first time, it became a fun memory.

早朝早い時間の集合でしたが、スカイダイビングして眠気もすっきりしました。
天気も快晴で申し分のないコンディションでした。
初めてで緊張しましたが楽しい思い出になりました。

This was one of our favorite adventures during our time in hawaii! Our guides were awesome and we loved getting to see the beauty of the Waipio Valley while riding horses! Highly recommend this for anyone who loves the outdoors and loves a good adventure!!

The weather was great, the scenery was amazing, especially the beautiful sea. The horses were very well trained, and I had a lot of fun. I would like to use this service again.

天気もとってもよくて、景色は最高だし＜特に海がきれい＞馬もとてもしつけされていて大変楽しめました。また利用したいです。

This was an amazing experience. The staff was so helpful and entertaining. We heard a lot of historic info about the farm and its operatiion along the way. The equipment , platforms, rope bridges, and rapeling lines were awesome. The views were absolutely breathtaking! It was one of my favorite activities I did while on the island!

Wow what a great time. The crew of Kauai Back Country where absolutely the best. They entertained us from our first arrival to our return. They made sure we were all safe and that our adventure was maximized. We highly recommend this adventure for everyone and looking forward to a return trip. Thanks To the the entire 05.20.17 10:00 AM Back Country crew for helping to make this a memorable vacation.

The guides Eli and Josh were great! We had an amazing time! The caves were spectacular! The tubing was fun and being in the dark was cool! Thanks again, I will be back for sure.

I deeply realized that there are many moving experiences in the world that you can only understand by experiencing them. Thank you for a wonderful time. When I close my eyes, it feels like a sky full of stars appears.

経験してみないとわからない感動が世の中にはたくさんあるのだなとしみじみ思いました。
素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。
目を瞑ると満天の星が浮かんでくるようです。

Since it was our honeymoon, I wanted to do something unforgettable, so I decided to participate. Right after signing up, I was anxious and worried about accidents and various things, but now I realize those worries were completely unnecessary. It was truly exhilarating, and you can enjoy views that can only be experienced through skydiving! My husband, who dove with me, and I are happy to share that emotional experience together for years to come. If anyone is hesitating, I definitely recommend participating!

ハネムーンだったので何か一生忘れられないことがやりたいと思い参加することを決めました。申し込んだ直後は事故とか色々考え不安になっていましたが、今となっては全くそんな心配いらなかったなとおもいます。本当に気持ちよくて、スカイダイビングでしか味わえない景色を堪能できます！また一緒にダイブした夫とこれからずっとあの感動体験を共有できるのが嬉しいねと話しています。迷っている方がいたらぜひ参加することをオススメします！

Thank you so much! Had a great time! The guide Philip was great!

I participated in a two-hour course with my two nephews! Riding while being blown by the refreshing breeze in the mountains, valleys, and by the sea felt amazing! I was moved by the grandeur that you can’t experience in Japan. The horses were smart and already knew the course so well that they sometimes stopped to eat grass, but if you call out "NO! DON'T!" they lift their heads right away. They are all gentle horses suitable for beginners, so it's reassuring. It might be a bit lacking for those who have experience riding. However, one challenging part was the anxiety of getting there… Since there was no shuttle service, I had to figure out how to take Bus 55 from Waikiki to Ala Moana to Kamehameha Highway, which took about an hour and a half to get to Kualoa Ranch. I think the nervous excitement leading up to that was a good memory in a way! I'm really glad I chose this experience.

甥っ子2人を引き連れて２時間コースに参加！
山に谷に海に 爽やかな風に吹かれながら 乗馬が出来るのは とても気持ちが 良かったです！ 日本では、絶対に味わえない 壮大さに感動しました。 お馬さんも賢くて もはや 人が操らなくても コースを熟知してて、時々草を食べることもありますが すぐに NO! DONT！ と声をかければ顔を上げてくれます。初心者向けの優しいお馬さんばかりなので安心です。 乗馬体験のある人には少し物足りないかもです。 ただ、ひとつ 大変だったのは到着するまでの不安… 送迎なしのブランだったので、自力で調べワイキキ アラモアナからザ バス５５番に乗ってカメハメハハイウェイー行き クアロアランチまで、約1時間半かけて行きました。 それまでのハラハラドキドキもある意味 いい思い出かな？と思ってます♪
このブランを選んで本当に良かったです。
