My husband bought us tickets to skydive for my birthday, and at first, I was skeptical and freaking out. However the second I got on the plane, all my fears went away. The view was phenomenal - the ocean, beaches, mountains and whales! I felt at ease with my professional, Mark, and while in the air, he let me take control of the shoot for a few minutes. It was the best experience of my life! It's exhilarating and the view is out of this world. I HIGHLY recommend skydiving at least once in your lifetime, and there's nothing like the view of Oahu on a bright, sunny day... I can't wait to do it again!

We were blessed with great weather and were able to see the best views from Haleakalā. The sunset over the sea of clouds and the starry sky were both so wonderful that words can't express them. More than anything, our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, was simply amazing! He talked to us during the drive, but his storytelling under the starry sky is something I will never forget. Of course, I want to see the views and the starry sky at Haleakalā again, but I also want to meet Mr. Yamauchi again. This tour makes you feel that way. There seem to be other tours of Haleakalā, but please consider joining this one with Maui All-Stars. It will cleanse your soul.
天気に恵まれ、ハレアカラからの最高の景色を見ることができました。
雲海の中の夕焼け、満点の星空、どちらも言葉で表現できないほど素晴らしかったです。
それよりも何よりも、ガイドの山内さんの対応がともかく素晴らしかった!。運転中も色々お話してくれるのですが、特に星空の下での山内さんの語りは一生忘れられません。
ハレアカラの景色、星空がもう一度見たいのはもちろんですが、また山内さんにお会いしたい。
そんな気にさせてくれるツアーです。
ハレアカラのツアーは他にもあるようですが、マウイ・オールスターズのこのツアーに是非参加してみて下さい。心が洗われます。

Awesome adventure, Larry was great! He knew so much about the area and the people that live there. Larry answered our questions as best as he could. He told us funny stories, history and folk lore about the plants and land formations as we came upon them. He was entertaining and we felt safe and comfortable with him at the wheel. We had quite a few times where we could get out and take pictures or explore the area at our many stops during the day. Our lunch was delicious. It was a great opportunity to get to know our fellow travelers while taking in the scenery.

I participated with my daughter (49) and grandson (16). It was all of our first horseback riding experience, but the pre-ride lecture was precise, and the horses were well-trained, so we enjoyed it without any worries. I highly recommend this. I previously participated in a carriage ride, but this was a completely different experience as we progressed along the stream.
私(77歳)娘(49)と孫(16)の3人で参加しました。3人とも初めての乗馬経験でしたが、乗馬前のレクチャーも的確で馬も良くなれており全く心配なく大いに楽しめました。これはおすすめです。以前ⓑ荷馬車で参加しましたが、沢に沿って進み等全く違う経験でした。

I participated in this tour based on the experiences of others. On the day of the tour, the mountains visible from the hotel were covered in clouds, and I thought we wouldn't see any great views. The guide was very cheerful and confidently said that the summit would be clear, but as we gained altitude, it became cloudier, and we encountered a downpour like a tropical rainstorm. Even at the dinner location, the Onizuka Visitor Center, it was still raining, so I thought this was going to be a bust.
However, as we started to climb to the summit, the skies began to clear, and near the observatory, it turned into a beautiful clear sky, allowing us to see a wonderful sunset. (Sorry for doubting you, guide!) After that, we did some stargazing a little further down, and the guide explained using a laser pointer, but there were a few too many clouds, which was a bit disappointing. However, the explanations were very easy to understand, even for someone like me who isn't familiar with constellations, so I learned a lot.
We also had photos taken, and they are available for download, so there's no worry if you miss a shot. Additionally, at the Onizuka Visitor Center, I captured a rare "SILVER SWORD" on camera. I appreciate the guide for making the journey enjoyable with engaging stories. Thank you very much.
他の方の体験談を参考に今回のツアーに参加しました。
当日ホテルから見える山は雲がかかっており絶景は無理かと思っていました。
ガイドさんは非常に明るく、絶対山頂は晴れていると自信満々でしたが、高度が上がるごとに曇りだし、途中スコールのような雨が降り、夕食場所のオニズカビジターセンターでも雨が降っていたので、これはダメかと思っていました。
しかし、そこから山頂に登りだすとだんだん晴れ間が見えてきて、天文台付近では快晴になり、素晴らしいサンセットを見ることができました。(ガイドさん疑ってゴメンなさい。)
その後少し下った場所で星空観測を行い、レーザーポインタを使った説明をしてくれたのですが、雲が少し多かったのでちょっとだけ残念です。しかし、星座に疎い私にもわかりやすく説明してくれたので、非常に勉強になりました。
写真も撮っていただき、ダウンロードもできるので、撮り損じても安心です。
また、オニズカビジターセンターでは珍しい「SILVER SWORD」をカメラに収めました。
道中飽きないように一生懸命楽しい話をしていただいたガイドさん感謝しております。

I participated on March 8, 2017.
I wanted to ride along the coast, so I rented a car and went to the North Shore. There were some online warnings about it being hard to find, but it was well-marked on Google and the rental car's navigation system, so I had no trouble once I got close. However, it's definitely tough without a rental car.
Our club is located in a corner of a spacious polo field, and the horses were relaxed, providing a much more open atmosphere compared to Japan.
After showing our voucher, we set off with two teenage girls and a total of four people plus one staff member. The saddles were Western-style, which I wasn't used to, but the horses were really calm. The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, and the breeze felt great—it was the perfect outdoor ride.
However, the customer service felt a bit indifferent, and I got the impression that they weren't very accustomed to dealing with customers. I also wished we could have done a bit more trotting and cantering.
I recommend this for anyone who wants to enjoy a leisurely ride along the coast (beginners are absolutely welcome).

I participated with my mother. The local guide provided deep insights into Hawaii's history and current social issues, which was very informative. Since the guide recommended some great shops on the North Shore in advance, I think we made effective use of our time, even though lunch was within an hour. We went horseback riding for nearly an hour along the beach, and the scenery was beautiful, plus the horses were adorable, so we were very satisfied. There were quite a few elderly people as well, so I believe horseback riding is accessible regardless of age.
母と2人で参加しました。現地のガイドの方はハワイの歴史や現在の社会問題などとても深く切り込んでお話してくださり、とてもためになりました。

I went on my first dive with three juniors, as experienced people said, "You absolutely have to do it if you're going to Hawaii." I was super excited and nervous from the morning. We flew to an altitude of 4,000 meters and dived for about 30 minutes. The instructor led the way, so we just went with the flow. The first five seconds were a scream like I had never experienced before, but I quickly got used to it. When the parachute opened, the beautiful scenery of Oahu Island spread out below, and we were lucky enough to see a whale. Above all, we were blessed with great weather, making it an unforgettable memory.

The horses were well taken care of, healthy and have good dispositions. I had not been on a horse in over 20 years and my husband has limited riding experience, but that did not matter, the staff conducted a safety brief before we started, answered all our questions and matched us with our mounts.

I decided to take this trip to the Big Island after seeing a photo of the sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea. Since I was with my mother, who is over 60, I was worried about altitude sickness, but the guide was fun and kind, so there were no problems at all. The sunset from the summit was truly beautiful and moving.
During the stargazing session, the guide used a laser pointer to explain the stars and constellations in detail, which was very educational. We were also able to see the glow of the Kilauea volcano from the stargazing location, which was another breathtaking experience.
It was a nice service that they took many photos and allowed us to download them for free, and I appreciated that they kindly taught us how to set up our own cameras to take beautiful pictures. Knowing that I could download the photos later allowed me to enjoy the stunning views at my own pace, even if I couldn't capture them perfectly with my own camera.
In addition to the incredible scenery, the guide and the other tour participants were all very pleasant, which truly filled my heart with joy.
It was great to see both the stars and the moon during this half moon phase, but if you're hoping for a sky full of stars, I recommend participating during the new moon, as everyone suggests.

You can decide whether to purchase the video after watching it. It was fun, but I was really tired after the flight. I ended up sleeping at the hotel after returning. My companion seemed to still be feeling unwell the next day, so it might be better to schedule your plans considering how you feel after participating.

We signed up as a family of four. Our six-year-old was especially excited as it was their first experience, but on the way to the location in the rental car, we got lost and it became clear that we wouldn't make it in time for the meeting. We contacted the ranch, but they said they couldn't wait because there were other participants. It was completely our fault, so we gave up and headed to the location with a heavy heart, hoping at least to show the kids the horses. However, during the drive, I received a call from a VELTRA staff member who said they would negotiate with the ranch. After a while, they informed us that the other participants would go ahead, and we would start late and catch up with the group, which the ranch agreed to. We started 40 minutes late, but thanks to that, the kids were overjoyed. I am very grateful to the VELTRA staff for their persistent negotiation. I could feel their dedication. Thank you very much.

I experienced a new attraction that just opened in Hawaii. I took a rental car, but it took longer than I expected (1 hour and 20 minutes), and I arrived just in time. I hurriedly checked in, put on my seatbelt, and started with vague explanations. However, whether it was special or just good timing, a staff member who spoke Japanese accompanied us and provided explanations along the way. The reception staff were all very kind.
The weather was rainy, windy, and cold. However, when I posed for photos while sliding with the North Shore in the background, we were lucky enough to have a break in the clouds, allowing for some wonderful commemorative shots, which really boosted my spirits. This is an attraction that you should definitely experience.
It became my best memory from this trip to Hawaii.

This was truly a magical day in Hawaii. Waipio Valley is one of those places best seen through the eyes of someone local. This is not merely a tour, but more of an invitation to visit the valley as a guest and get the grand tour from people who truly love it and want you to as well. The horses are happy, healthy, well cared for individuals with personalities and this trail ride is not the dull, narrated nose to tail variety often found in tourist areas. You won't have a "canned" speech and your horses won't be falling asleep from having done a monotonous walk they have done a million times with no hope of change. We left feeling like we really learned a lot from our hosts, who live in the valley, love and know it well, while having seen some of the most spectacular scenery on the island. The snapshot of the view from the lookout point is certainly gorgeous, but go the extra mile and take a ride into the valley to see the taro, the waterfalls, the wild horses, the freshwater streams and amazing landscape. You won't be disappointed!

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. I considered going to Mauna Kea on our own, but it seemed too challenging, so we joined this tour. In hindsight, it was a great decision!
I wore a T-shirt with a long-sleeve rash guard, which felt more like autumn wear, and everyone at the meeting point was dressed for winter, so I thought, "Did I make a mistake?" However, we were able to borrow fluffy ski wear, hats, and gloves, so I wasn't cold at all. There was snow at the summit, but the perceived temperature was higher than around my home. For people from snowy or cold regions, wearing thick clothes might be uncomfortable in warm vehicles, so I think it's better to wear layers that are easy to take on and off.
The bus was full and a bit cramped, but the atmosphere was friendly and enjoyable. On the way there, we did some sightseeing along the route and stopped at a supermarket in Waikoloa, and on the way back, it was quiet... but we were able to stop at the supermarket again, which felt like a bonus. I tried the Maui chips recommended by Kon, and they were delicious.
The highlight, Mauna Kea, was amazing! The changing colors of the sky were beyond my imagination. We could also see the Subaru Telescope. I'm really glad I participated. Additionally, I was thrilled to have many beautiful photos taken with a large DSLR camera that I couldn't have captured myself. (Later, I received an ID and password to download them.) I was unsure which company's tour to choose based on the photo quality, but I'm glad I chose this one.
If I had to mention something, I was a bit disappointed that the lunch was Japanese-style. Since it was a trip, I would have preferred something more Hawaiian. However, the taste was delicious, and the warm miso soup and the choice of drinks (I had cocoa), along with the cookies and tea afterward, were all so good that I ended up asking for seconds. (By the way, the other two Japanese tour companies I saw at Onizuka also had different Japanese-style bento.)
新婚旅行で行ったハワイ。マウナケアは個人で行くことも考えたけれど、やっぱりハードルが高いのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。結果、大正解!
私の服装はTシャツに長袖ラッシュガードという秋服(?)で、集合場所にいた皆さんの服装が冬服だったので「失敗した!?」と思ったのですが、モコモコのスキーウェアや帽子手袋を借りられるので全く寒くなかったです。山頂に雪はありましたが、自宅周辺よりも体感気温は高かったです。特に雪国・寒冷地の人はあんまり厚手の服だと温かい車内等で大変かもしれないので、脱ぎ着しやすい服がいいと思います。
バスは満員でちょっと狭かったけれど、和気あいあいとした雰囲気で楽しかったです。行きのバスでは通り道の観光もしつつワイコロアのスーパーに寄ったり、帰りは静かに…でもスーパーにも寄ってもらえたのでお得な気分に。こんさんお勧めのマウイチップス、ホテルで食べましたが美味しかったです。
肝心のマウナケアは最高でした!だんだんと空の色が変わっていく様子は想像以上。すばる天文台も見えました。本当に参加してよかったと思いました。また、自分では撮れないような素敵な写真を、大きな一眼カメラでたくさん撮ってもらえて感激。(後日ID&PWが送られてきてダウンロード)どこの会社のツアーで行くか迷って、写真のイメージで決めたのですが、ここにお願いしてよかったです。
あえて言うなら、弁当が和風だったことが少し残念。旅行なのでできればハワイっぽいものが食べたかったかな。でも味は美味しかったし、温かいみそ汁や選べるドリンク(私はココア)、その後のクッキーや紅茶もどれも美味しくてお代わりまでもらってしまいました。(ちなみにオニズカで見た他の日本ツアー2社?も別の和風弁当でした)

I participated in a tour on February 5th. That day, there were concerns about strong winds closing the entrance to the summit, but I managed to reach the top. We were provided with a bento box, miso soup, and tea, which warmed me up a bit before heading to the summit. On the way up, I felt a little palpitations and noticed the decreasing oxygen levels. Looking out the window, I saw that there was still snow, and the air felt cold. Gloves and a hat were essential. I was very moved to see mountains that I can't see in Japan right next to me.
I believe I will never forget the sunset at the summit. The starry sky had a half-moon, making the night sky a bit bright, but I was able to see it well. The guide's explanations were enjoyable, and they helped me take photos of the moon with my smartphone through a telescope that showed the moon's surface. It was truly a wonderful experience.
2月5日にツアーに参加しました。その日は風が強く頂上への入り口が閉ざされてしまう心配がありましたが、なんとか頂上へ辿り着く事ができました。お弁当とお味噌汁やお茶を出していただき、体が少し温まったらいざ頂上へ。登っていく途中少し動悸がして、酸素が少なくなっていくのを感じつつ、窓の外をみるとまだ雪がのこっていて、空気が冷たく感じました。手袋と帽子は必須でした。日本ではみることのできない山々が直ぐ側に見れて、とても感動しました。
頂上でのサンセットは一生忘れることは出来ないと思います。星空は月が半分でていて少し明るい夜空でしたが、十分に見る事ができました。ガイドの方の説明も楽しく、月の表面が見える望遠鏡で月をスマホで撮影もしてくれて、本当に素晴らしい体験をしました。

It was my first time, and it was amazing! I immediately wanted to fly again as soon as I landed!
The photos and videos were optional and not included, which was fine for us since we didn't really need them. It might have been better to have insurance, but if the individuals don't feel it's necessary, accidents happen when they happen, right? It's all up to luck!
初めてでしたが、最高でした!降りてすぐまた飛びたい!と思いました!
写真やビデオは勝手についておらず、オプションだったので、特に必要ない私達からは良かったです。本当は保険にも入っていた方が良かったのかもしれませんが、そこは本人達が必要なければ、事故は起こる時には起きますからね^ ^運次第
