Hawaii
Found the instructor really took the time to make sure that we all know what we are doing. A bit frightening but a good time. Might be better if they didn't try to spin your round so much.
I participated because I wanted to see the Hiilawe Falls in Waipi'o Valley. Those who do hula will understand, but two waterfalls merge into one river and flow out to the sea. It was a beautiful sight.
It was my first time riding a horse, but the horses are well-trained, so there were no issues. I was nervous at first since it was my first experience. The instructions before riding are only in English, but there is a description in Japanese in front of the stable. The application form was in Japanese.
We rode for about two and a half hours through the valley, seeing taro fields, rivers, and waterfalls. The scenery was very pleasant. I would definitely like to participate again.
We are not very good at English, so we asked the hotel concierge to confirm our reservation. It can be confusing to navigate to the site by rental car.
After reaching the Waipi'o Lookout, if you return along the left side of the road, you will arrive at the shop.
Everyone gathers early, so it's best to arrive at least 30 minutes beforehand. The shop also had snacks and souvenirs.
ワイピオ渓谷でヒイラべェの滝が見たくて参加しました。フラをしている方なら分かると思いますが二つの滝が一つの川となり海へ流れ出る。メレの通りでした。
乗馬は初めてのでしたが、しっかりと調教されているので問題はありません。私は初めてだったので、慣れるまでは緊張しました。馬に乗る前の説明は英語のみですが、馬小屋の前に日本語で説明が書いてあります。参加申込書は日本語でした。
約2時間半 馬に乗って渓谷の中を回りました タロ畑・川・滝 とても気持ちのいい景色でした。また是非、参加したいです。
私たちは、英語が得意ではありませリコンファームはホテルのコンシェルジュにおねがいしました。レンタカーで現地までは、ナビでは迷います。
ワイピオルックアウトまで行き、来た道の下側 左側を道沿いに戻るとショップに着きます。
皆さん集合が早いので、30分前には到着していた方がいいです。ショップには、スナックやお土産もありました。
Good but very very long day so hard on the younger kids. Glad we did it but wouldn't do it again.
My wife and I participated together. Following the recommendation of a friend who had gone to Hawaii earlier, we both decided to challenge ourselves, even though we’re not particularly fond of heights. In the end, we both enjoyed it! However, there was a difference in the instructors; my wife felt a bit uneasy with hers, as they were somewhat mechanical in their approach. My instructor was a friendly, handsome guy who eased my worries. If asked whether I would do it again, I would hesitate (laughs), but I think it’s worth a try at least once in your life, even for those who are not good with heights. We had a great time without regrets.
妻と2人で参加しました。
先にハワイに行っていた友人の勧めもあり、2人とも高いところはそんなに得意では無いのですが、人生で一度はということでチャレンジしました。
結果は2人とも楽しめました!ただし、インストラクターには差があり、妻は機械的な対応で命を預けるにはやや不安を覚えたとのこと。。私のインストラクターはフランクでイケメンのナイスガイで不安を和らげてくれました。
もう一度やるかと言われたら迷いますが(笑)高いところが苦手な人でも人生一度はチャレンジしてみては。私達は後悔なく楽しめました。
I let my daughters go on this tour by themselves. Since I had used the service before, I wasn't worried at all. The transportation went smoothly, although they seemed a bit nervous. Their first skydiving experience was a dive from 4,200 meters in clear weather. As soon as they landed, I received a message, and it seemed they were just as hooked as I was. Thank you very much.
娘達だけで、このツアーに行かせました。私も利用した事があったので心配する事もなかったです。送迎も順調に彼女らは少し緊張していたようでした。初スカイダイビングは、晴天の中上空4200mからダイブ。着陸したら早々に連絡があり、私と同じではまったようでした。ありがとうございました。
The bright blue sky, the emerald green sea, the cool air, and the cheerful instructor created a lot of contrasts for diving! I requested a photographer, and they captured the best videos and photos. The time spent skydiving was just a fleeting moment, but I believe it was a very valuable experience in my life. The fear is only before you jump! Once you jump, it's just about having fun! It was the best moment!
真っ青な空、エメラルドグリーンの海、ヒンヤリとした空気、陽気なインストラクター、多くのコントラストにダイブ!
カメラマン付きでお願いしましたが、最高のビデオ、写真を撮ってもらいました。
スカイダイビングの時間はほんの一瞬の出来事でしたが、人生の中でもとても貴重な経験をしたと思います。
怖いのは飛ぶまで!
飛んだらあとは楽しむだけ!
最高の瞬間でした!
I had a mix of no riding experience and a little bit, so I chose the 1 hour and 30 minutes course to fully enjoy horseback riding. The weather was nice, and the beautiful grasslands and mountains were a sight to behold. Along the way, I could also see the ocean, and while enjoying the magnificent scenery of Hawaii, I felt like a cowboy holding the reins.
Emily, who led us the whole time, shared interesting stories about the ranch and occasionally mentioned the cows and calves we saw. My daughter acted as an interpreter, which helped me understand everything. The horses were impressive, and the saddles were comfortable. Each horse had its own personality (there were six of us participating), and we had a lot of fun.
As someone with a bit of riding experience, I definitely want to participate in a course here where I can gallop again!
乗馬経験無しと少し有りと色々でしたので
たっぷり乗馬を満喫出来る1時間30分のコースにしました。
お天気も良く、見渡す草原と山並みが綺麗で、途中、海も見渡すことが出来、
アメリカハワイの雄大な景色を見渡しながら、カウボーイ気分で手綱を握って乗馬を満喫出来ました。
ずっと、先導してくれた
Emilyが、この牧場に関する事や、時々見かける、牛や子牛のエピソードなどを話してくれたのも、興味深かったです。
娘が間に入って通訳してくれて
理解できたのですが・・・
馬も立派で,鞍も座り心地良かったし、

It was my first time skydiving. There were many scary moments, but once I jumped, it was so much fun that I can't express it in words. I would love to participate again if I have the chance!
初めてのスカイダイビングでした。
怖いこともたくさんおおかったですが、いざ飛んでみると言葉で現せないほど楽しかったです。また機会があれば参加したいと思います!
On the day, it was really windy and extremely cold...
But I got to see the snow in Hawaii, and the sunset was absolutely magical.
There were a few clouds, so I couldn't see all the stars, but our guide, Jin, kept trying until the end, and he was very considerate from start to finish. I was really satisfied!
However, you shouldn't underestimate the mountains in Hawaii during winter.
当日は風も強くてめっちゃくちゃ寒かった…
でも、ハワイの雪が見れたし、夕日はめちゃめちゃ幻想的でした。
ちょっと雲があったので星空は全部は見れなかったけど、ガイドの仁さんも最後までトライしてくださったし、最初から最後まで色々お気遣い頂いて、本当に満足でした♪
しかし、冬のハワイの山は舐めたらあかんσ(^◇^;)
Dear Gittaka,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. It's hard to imagine it being cold in Hawaii. The wind at the summit is extremely cold, isn't it? Even in summer, it's chilly, so Mauna Kea is truly formidable.
There are many other wonderful places on the Big Island, so we hope you will come back to the Big Island next time. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your visit.

Thanks Jim , absolutely fabulous, great knowledge of the area, best sights not available anywhere else, well worth taking this tour we had a perfect day to fly, my daughter was a bit nervous but wanted to get straight back up. Jo & Sharen from Australia
Thanks, Jo, for your glowing review. I'll make sure that Pilot Jim sees what you've wrote. Come back anytime and fly with us again.
It seems that a 4-year-old child and their dad had a great time riding impressive horses. While waiting for the adult riding session to finish, they spent time playing with the equipment and animals on the premises.

My husband and I had a wonderful time. The ranch was beautiful and so was the scenery on the ride. Our guide was wonderful and very fun/easy to talk to. This was my first time riding and it was a great experience. I highly recommend this!
My first skydiving experience. I was incredibly anxious and nervous, but the instructors were really friendly and kind, and they were fluent in Japanese! The free fall lasted about one minute, but it felt like the longest minute of my life.
人生初のスカイダイビング。不安と緊張が半端なかったですが、インストラクターの方々はほんとに気さくでやさしく、日本語も堪能でした!フリーフォールは約1分間でしたが、行きて来た中で一番長い1分間でした。
The advance information and guidance provided by the Japanese guide were friendly and reassuring, making it easy for us. As others have mentioned, the waiting time is long, but considering the repeated ascent and descent, it's understandable.
While light clothing is preferable during diving, it was cold while waiting early in the morning, so bringing warm clothes is essential. Lockers and currency exchange are available, which is reassuring.
Regarding photography, it may depend on the instructor you pair with, but both of ours were very enthusiastic and took lots of photos for us. You can also confirm in advance whether photo and video purchases are available.
As a piece of advice, since the jiggling of your cheeks during the fall can be quite painful, I recommend dieting beforehand!
事前の案内や、着いてからの案内も日本人のガイドの方が気さくに声をかけてくださり心配なくいられました。
他の方も書かれているように待ち時間は長いですが、そりゃ昇って降りてを繰り返してるのだから仕方がないかと、、。
ダイビング中は軽装が望ましいですが、朝早く待ってる間は寒かったので暖かいお洋服持参が必須。ロッカーも、両替もできますし安心です。
撮影に関してはペアになるインストラクターの方にもよるとは思いますが、私たちは二人ともとてもノリノリでたくさん撮影して下さいました★
写真動画購買の有無も事前に確認してから行えます。
アドバイスとしては、なんせ落下時にほっぺたのお肉がぶるぶる、いやバチバチ痛いのでダイエットしてからがオススメです笑
We absolutely loved this activity and will definitely do this again the next time we're in town!
The bus guide was very kind and pleasant. In Haleiwa Town, there were many cute shops, and I was excited to go shopping. It was my first time riding a horse, and I found handling the horse interesting, while the seaside walk was refreshing. Unfortunately, the sea turtles didn't show up, but this tour was really fun!
バスのガイドさんがとても親切で感じの良い方でした。ハレイワタウンでは とっても可愛いお店が並んでてワクワクしながらお買い物ができました。
乗馬も 初めてでしたが 馬さんの扱いが面白かったし 海辺の散歩は気持ち良かったです。ウミガメは残念ながら現れてくれませんでしたが、このツアーとても楽しかったです!
The day we had planned was canceled due to weather conditions, so we rescheduled for another day. We were able to go on the new date, and it was a success! It was amazing!! I wasn't scared at all and just enjoyed the flight! I decided to have a photographer take pictures, and she was a really cute woman who took a lot of great photos. The video and photos cost $230, but since it's something I rarely do, I went ahead and purchased them. If you're hesitating, I recommend buying it! Also, I suggest wearing long pants instead of shorts. (laughs) We were picked up at 5 and were back at the hotel before 11, so it was a smooth day.
予定していた日は天候の影響でキャンセルになってしまったので別日にずらしました。
別日に決行できたので無事に飛んで来ました!
最高です!!
こわいとか特になくただ楽しんで飛べました!
カメラマンさんに撮ってもらう事にしたので
すごくキュートな女性の方でいい写真いっぱい撮ってもらいました。
ムービーと写真で230ドルでしたが、滅多にやらない事なので購入です。
迷っているなら購入オススメです!
後、ショートパンツではなく長ズボンがオススメです。笑
5時ピックアップで11時前にはホテルに帰れたのでスムーズな日でした。
As per I mentioned in title of this review, "Zipline & secret island" is the most reasonable entertainment that I'd ever had.
If you looking for following experiences/ memories, you rather choose zip than any other activities.
A) Having extreme entertainment and full adrenaline. (ATV, horse ride and others can not beat zip)
B) Seeing beautiful Honolulu nature and Hollywood filming location (The location of zipline is a little far away and you can see the filming location and beautiful scenery when you move there)
C) Learning Hawaiian culture (Every station in zip line has Hawaiian name and guides will tell you story relating to the name)
I guarantee you that you can kill three birds with one zipline!
From the top of Mauna Kea you truly see forever. However, be prepared! At these heights it is also breath taking... that is, there is less air up there!! The guides were great and prepared you for the trip in every way. The dinner was good and the star gazing after coming half way back down was amazing.
I absolutely recommend this tour!! First of all, the tour guide was a wonderful Japanese person. I was amazed by their explanations of the sightseeing spots and their thoughtful interactions. They also gave various poses and advice for photos, allowing us to take many memorable pictures. The stargazing was a world I had never seen before, and it was so moving that I was brought to tears! If I have the chance to go again, I will definitely participate! Everyone, please join the stargazing tour and experience this wonderful world for yourselves!!
このツアーは絶対オススメです!!まずツアーガイドさんが、とても素晴らしい日本人の方なんです。観光場所の説明・応対の気遣いに驚きました。また写真も色々なポーズでまた色々アドバイスをくれて、記念になる写真がたくさん撮れました。星空観測は今までみたことがない世界で涙が流れるくらい感動しました!また行ける機会があれば絶対に参加します!みなさま是非、星空観測ツアーに参加して素晴らしい世界を目にしてみてください!!
Dear Pan,
Thank you for participating in the tour. We appreciate your kind words, which really boost our guide's spirits.
The sunset and star tour is our most popular offering. The sunset and starry sky from the mountain top are truly breathtaking, aren’t they? If you have the opportunity next time, we hope you discover something new on the Big Island.
All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your next visit.

I participated with excitement, but the enjoyment varies depending on the instructor you fly with. My instructor was playing on his phone until we landed, and unlike other instructors, he showed no consideration, which was uncomfortable. However, the sky never disappoints!! The world from the moment you jump until the parachute opens is breathtaking and an indescribable experience. The fun really changes with the instructor!!
わくわくで参加しましたが、一緒に飛ぶインストラクターにより、楽しさが異なります。私のインストラクターは、飛ぶ着後まで携帯で遊んでおり、他のインストラクターと違い、気遣いがまったくなく、不快でした。ただ空は裏切りません!!飛んだ瞬間からパラシュートが開くまでの世界は絶景でなんともいえない体験でした。インストラクターで楽しさが変わります!!
When it comes to tours on the Big Island, Mauna Kea is a must-see. My friend and I participated in the summit sunset tour and were very satisfied. It included warm clothing, a bento box, water, hot drinks, and cookies, which was very thoughtful. Our guide, Kon, was very calm and kind, and Macchan was truly a mood maker and reliable. Both of them were wonderfully attentive. The age group of participants was mostly in their 20s and 30s, creating a friendly atmosphere. The view from the summit of Mauna Kea was, of course, breathtaking, and I received a lot of energy from it. In January, there was still snow and it was cold, but since they had prepared proper cold weather gear, I had no worries and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It was also convenient to stop by a supermarket on the way there and back. I highly recommend this tour for friends, families, and couples alike.
ハワイ島のツアーといえばマウナケア山は外せないと思います。私と友人は山頂サンセットツアーに参加してとても満足しました。防寒装備やお弁当、お水、暖かい飲み物とクッキーが付いていて、至れり尽くせりでした。ガイドのコンさんはとても穏やかで優しく、まっちゃんさんは本当にムードメーカーで頼もしい。二人とも気配りが素晴らしかったと思います。参加されてた年齢層は20〜30代が多く、和やかな雰囲気でした。マウナケア山頂の景色はもちろん圧巻で、パワーをたくさんもらいました。1月はまだ雪があり寒いですが、防寒対策がしっかり用意されていたので、心配なことは無く、しっかりとツアーを楽しみました。行きと帰りにスーパーに寄れたのも重宝しました。友人同士、家族、カップル、全てにオススメなツアーです。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
Indeed, Kon-chan provides wonderful service that combines the Japanese spirit of hospitality with the Aloha spirit of Hawaii. The tour is relaxed due to his laid-back nature, but that is one of Kon-chan's great qualities, and he is very kind.
His knowledge of plants and his sense of camera angles are exceptional. Matsuchan is incredibly enthusiastic about service, ensuring that everything is taken care of from the beginning to the end of the tour.
All of our guides are unique and wonderful people, so we hope you will come back to the Big Island next time.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you from the bottom of our hearts.

I was relieved to have made a reservation in advance from Japan since it was fully booked at the time. I was captivated by the eloquent guide and had a wonderful time. I learned that Haleakalā has no "sound," which was a very strange sensation. I also enjoyed a magnificent sunset and had a great time stargazing. Lastly, I was able to hear the guide's heartwarming stories, and I truly felt that participating in this tour was a great decision.
当時は満席との事で日本から事前予約をしておいて一安心。お話の上手なガイドさんに魅せられ、楽しい時間を過ごしました。ハレアカラは❝音❞がないと教えていただき、とても不思議な感覚でした。素晴らしいサンセットも鑑賞し、星空観測も満喫。最後にガイドさんの心温まるお話をう伺うことが出来て、本当にこのツアーに参加してヨカッタと思います。
Had a great time on the 2 hour ATV tour! Highly recommended!
I love horses. Zero hands on experience with these beautiful animals but they make me feel so comfortable that they make me look like I've been riding for years! ;) Would go back in a heartbeat!!!
Great Yamaha ATV's, well maintained, good instructions prior to ride, Mona great at explaining local history of ranch and movies shot there, good lunch and plenty of swim time. Would recommend this tour if you have limited time on island
Watch the sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea! With excitement in my heart, the tour began.
The guide took various poses for photos against the sunset. During the stargazing, I was able to see stars that were even more beautiful than I expected, and lucky for me, I also saw shooting stars, which was incredibly thrilling.
マウナケア山頂でサンセットを!期待に胸を膨らませながら、ツアーが始まりました。
サンセットをバックにガイドさんがいろいろなポーズを写真撮影してくださいました。また、星空観測では、期待以上に綺麗な星が観ることができ、ラッキーなことに、流れ星も観られたし大興奮でした。
Dear Hawaii Love,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
We are very pleased to hear that you were extremely satisfied with the sunset tour!
There are not many places where you can easily climb like Mauna Kea and observe stars at an altitude of about 3,400 meters.
The night sky and the seasonal constellations are captivating, so you won't get bored (laughs).
We hope you will join us again at a different time. The summer Milky Way is also impressive! ^^
Thank you very much for participating in Masashi's Nature School Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour.
We sincerely look forward to your next visit to the island! ^^

It was my first time riding a horse, along with my 9-year-old daughter and my husband, aside from pony rides. However, the hour and a half flew by. The spacious ranch had remnants of an old rodeo arena, irrigation from sugarcane fields, and what seemed to be a weapons storage or air raid shelter used during World War II. They explained everything slowly and kindly, even to Japanese people who don't speak much English.
As we climbed the hill, we could see the ocean, and there were very old horses (34 and 36 years old, while the average lifespan is 25 to 30 years) leisurely spending time with younger horses. Wild pigs, cows, donkeys, goats, sheep, dogs, and chickens all looked happy.
The horses were smart, gentle, and safe. It was truly a valuable experience. I would love to go again.
9歳の娘と夫婦とも、引き馬以外では初乗馬。でも、1時間半があっと言う間でした。広い牧場には昔のロデオアリーナ、さとうきび畑の灌漑の名残、第二次大戦に使われた武器庫?防空壕?などがあり、英語はあまり出来ない日本人にもゆっくり丁寧に説明してくれました。
丘を登ると海が見渡せ、超高齢馬(34と36歳、普通寿命は25〜30年)が若い馬とのんびり過ごしていたり、野生の豚、牛、ロバ、ヤギ、羊、犬、ニワトリなどがみんな幸せそうに見えました。
馬達も賢く優しくて安全です。本当に貴重な体験でした。またぜひ行きたいです。
Thank you to all the guides who taught us how to rappell and then for guiding us down the 60' waterfall multiple times. It was a tour that everyone visiting Kauai should put on there bucket list.
It seems that the tip is a flat $20. I was wondering if I would have to wait on the day, but I was able to board smoothly. The time it takes to ascend to 4,000 meters in the Cessna was enjoyable as well. Once you jump out, it really is over in the blink of an eye. I think it's worth doing at least once in a lifetime.
現在チップは一律20ドルのようです。
当日待たされるのかなと思ってましたがすんなり乗る事ができました
セスナで4000mまで上がるまでの時間も含めて楽しいです。
飛び降りてからはほんとあっという間ですね。
一生に一度はやる価値あると思います。
