All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

Both of us were a bit anxious since it was our first time riding horses, but we had a lot of fun. The horse was quite stubborn, but that added to its charm. We rode up a small stream, and the hour and a half went by in no time. They lend you a bag to keep your valuables in while in the saddle, so we were able to put our camera and water bottles in it.

二人とも初乗馬で不安でしたが、結構楽しめました。
なかなか言うことの聞かない馬でしたが、それも愛嬌でした。
小川を上って行ったりして、１時間半ほどがアッと言う間でした。
鞍に掛ける貴重品入れの袋を貸してくれますので、カメラやペットボトルも
それに入れることができました。

The people who went us as instructors where very funny and full of character. It made the trip fun and super exciting.

On the second day of our stay in Hawaii, my spouse and I participated in this optional tour. At first, we were looking at various tours that would take us to many places, but since we didn't want to feel rushed (though we were a bit anxious since it was our first time), we decided on this free time plan to leisurely stroll through the streets.

That was the right choice! After visiting Dole's and Turtle Beach, we had about three hours of free time. We were able to explore the town from one end to the other, taking breaks along the way. Our driver, Tsugawa (I apologize if I got the name wrong!), was very kind and drove us to Macky's, which was a bit away from the meeting point. He helped us with ordering the garlic shrimp and provided wet wipes, making us feel comfortable during the tour.

Initially, I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be sunny without any issues. I would have given it five stars, but since we couldn't see the sea turtles basking (they were peeking out of the water), I’m giving it four stars this time, hoping to see them basking next time!

夫婦でハワイ滞在2日目にこちらのオプショナルツアーに参加させて戴きました。初めは他にも色々連れていってもらえるツアーを見ていたのですが、あまり時間に追われたくない２人(だけど初めてだからちょっと不安)ゆっくりと街並みを見ながら散策したくなったのでこちらのフリータイムプランに決めました。
これが正解♪ドールズ、海亀ビーチに行った後は３時間程のフリータイム。町の端から端までゆっくりと休憩を挟みながら散策することができました(^-^)ドライバーのツガワさん(名前間違っていたらすみません‼)はとても優しい方で、待ち合わせ場所から少し離れた場所にあるマッキーズまで車で連れていってくれて、ガーリックシュリンプの注文や案内、ウェットティッシュを持ってきてくださったりと安心してツアーに参加する事が出来ました(^-^)初め心配だった天気も問題なく晴天で、本当は☆５つなのですが、海亀さんの甲羅干しが見れなかったので(海から顔は出していましたｗ)次回甲羅干しを見れる様期待を込めて☆４つで!

I went to Hawaii for the first time, combining it with our honeymoon.

We stayed at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani. For transportation to Kualoa Ranch, we used TheBus. We took the bus around 6:30 AM and transferred near Ala Moana (make sure to get a transfer ticket from the driver when you board), and the journey took about an hour and a half. The bus was quite cold, so it's necessary to prepare a jacket. The bus stop near Kualoa Ranch faced the ocean and was very beautiful.

Once inside the park, there is a shop and cafeteria, and after passing through there, we checked in. The explanation was in English, but we received materials in Japanese, so it was manageable. Lockers are available for free only for zipline participants.

We gathered at the designated spot and departed around 9:15 AM. We took a bus for about 15 minutes to the zipline location. During the ride, the guide introduced tourist spots in English.

When we arrived at the zipline station, we stored our bags in lockers, received a harness explanation, put on the harness, and got instructions in English until we were ready to go.

Since the guides and participants were all English speakers, it might be a bit tough if you don't have language skills... However, you'll manage as you go along.

The course includes a total of seven types of ziplines, two suspension bridges, and a short hike (about two minutes at most). A white couple over 60 was doing it effortlessly, so it might be okay even if you're not very fit. During the zipline, there are cameras set up to take photos, which you can purchase later (one photo for $15, three for $35, or all for $50). The experience was incredibly thrilling, with a sense of unity with nature and a feeling of liberation. If you have language skills, I think you can enhance your connection with the guides and participants even more. It might just be a coincidence, but everyone seemed to enjoy joking around.

After the zipline, we returned to the station to take off the harness, purchase photos, and retrieve our belongings. We then took a different route back by bus, so we could enjoy the scenery from the windows without getting bored.

We returned around noon and had lunch at the cafeteria in the main building. The portion sizes were smaller than expected compared to other places.

The return bus was significantly delayed, and we waited for nearly an hour. Since it was during the day, it was full, and we couldn't find seats. I wouldn't recommend using TheBus for families with small children or those with mobility issues.

If you're not good at English at all, it might be a bit tough, but I think it's manageable if you have a proactive attitude toward solving problems.

初めてのハワイ、新婚旅行を兼ねて行ってきました。

宿泊場所は、シェラトンプリンセスカイウラニ。
クアロア牧場までの移動は、TheBusを利用しました。行きは0630頃のバスに乗り、アラモアナ周辺で乗り換え（乗り換え券が必要なので、乗車時に運転手から貰う様に）、道中1時間半ぐらいの道のりです。バスの中は大変寒く、上着の準備が必要です。
クアロア牧場近くのバス停は海に面しており大変綺麗でした。

園内に入ると物販&食堂があり、そこを抜け、チェックインをします。説明は英語ですが、日本語の資料を貰えますので、何とかなります。
ロッカーは、ジップライン参加者のみ無料で借りれます。

所定の場所に集まり、0915頃いざ出発。
ジップラインの場所まで園内を15分程バスで移動。道中は、ガイドが英語で観光地を紹介してくれます。

ジップラインの詰所に着いたら、ロッカーに荷預け、ハーネス説明、ハーネス着装、乗るまで、滑り降りるまでの説明を英語で受けます。

ガイド、参加者は英語圏の方ばかりですので、語力が無いとちょっときついかも…しかし、やっている内に何とかなります。

コースは、全7種のジップラインに加え、2箇所の吊り橋、道中の登山（長くて2分程度）となります。
60歳を超えた白人夫婦が悠々と出来てたので、体力が無くても大丈夫かも。
ジップライン中、設置されたカメラで撮影があり、後ほど購入することができます。（１枚$15、３枚$35、全て$50）
内容は、凄い刺激的で自然との一体感、開放感があり楽しめました。
語力があれば、ガイド、参加者と一体感を更に高めることが出来ると思います。たまたまかもしれませんが、皆さん、冗談が好きなようで。

ジップラインが終われば、詰所に戻りハーネス脱着、写真購入、荷物受け取りとなり、その後バスで戻りますが、行きと経路を変えてくれるので、車窓からの景色も飽きず楽しめます。

変えて12時頃戻り、最初建物の食堂でランチをしました。思ったより他店より量は少なめでした。

帰りのバスは、遅れが凄く1時間近く待ちました。日中ということもあり、満席で座ることができませんでした。小さなお子さんや脚が悪い方は、TheBusの使用は勧めません。

全く英語がダメな方はちょっときついかもしれませんが、積極的に解決する姿勢であれば問題ないと思います。

Skydiving was something I had always wanted to try, and being able to do it in Hawaii felt like a dream! However, the wait time was a bit long, so I dozed off while waiting. When my name was called, there was a briefing about the position in the air, and I boarded a small plane with an enthusiastic instructor. I had to straddle something like a long bench and take off backward, which made me a little nervous thinking about falling! I didn't feel scared at all while on the ground, but when it was finally my turn, I felt a fear I had never experienced before in the few seconds before taking off. (laughs) From the moment we took off until the parachute opened, it was a strange sensation, and once the parachute opened, I enjoyed a leisurely stroll in the air while taking in the beautiful scenery of Hawaii. I am filled with gratitude for my parents who made this wonderful experience possible.

一度はやってみたかったスカイダイビングでしたが、それもハワイでできるなんて夢のようでした！
ただ待ち時間は少し長かったので、うとうとしながら待っていました。
名前が呼ばれると、空中での体勢についてレクチャーがあり、ノリノリのインストラクターと一緒に小型機に乗り込みました。
長椅子のようなものにまたがり後ろ向きに離陸する体勢だったので、落ちる落ちる！と少しびびりってしまいました。
地上にいる時は怖さは全く感じていなかったのですが、ついに自分の順番が来て、飛び立つまでの数秒はこれまでに感じたことのない怖さを感じました。笑
飛び立った瞬間からパラシュートが開くまでの間は不思議な感覚で、パラシュートが開くとハワイの素敵な景色を見ながらゆっくりと空中おさんぽが楽しめました。こんな幸せな体験をさせてくれた両親には感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。

I recommend this for first-time visitors to Hawaii. You can visit the "This is the tree, what tree?" Monkey Pod, Pineapple Park, sea turtle landings, horseback riding, and a macadamia nut processing factory, and drive along the coastline. The garlic shrimp I had for lunch was the best! The mildly seasoned shrimp were irresistible. Horseback riding truly showcases Hawaii's great nature! It's a moment that makes you feel like you're on an overseas trip.

初めてハワイへ来た人におすすめです。この～木なんの木♪モンキーパッド、パイナップルパーク、ウミガメの上陸、乗馬、マカダミアナッツ加工工場へ行き、海岸線をドライブできます。昼食に食べた、ガーリックシュリンプは最高！マイルドな味付けのエビは箸が止まりません。乗馬はこれぞハワイの大自然！海外旅行に来たと感じる瞬間です。

It's early in the morning, and we drive for an hour on the highway. Along the way, we are given a form to fill out, but it has seven pages, and I get really car sick (laughs). The guide was quite rushed, and we were hurried along. After getting ready, we listened to the explanation on how to land and waited for our turn. During that time, I watched the people who went before us come down. I wore a thin shirt, but the guide recommended that we wear as little as possible to fly, so I ended up in a T-shirt, which was quite cold (laughs). There were people flying in shorts and tank tops, but I think if you land on your backside or lose your balance, you would definitely scrape your thighs. After it was over, we could see the photos and videos taken of us right there. If you don't like them, you don't have to buy! I think it was around 30,000 yen for two still images and one video for me and my husband. Some people may ask for tips, but since they go to the next person's tandem, you don't give it directly to them. So I think you don't need to worry about that. It became a great memory.

朝早くて高速道路を1時間も走ります。途中記入必要な用紙を渡されますが7ページもあり車酔いがとんでもないです（笑）ガイドのおじさんにかなりせかされてバタバタと連れていかれました。準備ができてから着地の方法などの説明をきいて、自分たちの順番を待ちました。そのあいだ前に飛んだ人たちが降りてくるのをずっとみていました。うすでのシャツを着ていったのですがかなり強めにできるだけ薄着で飛んだほうが良いとガイドにすすめられTシャツで飛びましたがかなり寒かったです。（笑）ショートパンツやキャミソールで飛んでいる人もいましたがもししりもちをつきながらやバランスを保てなくて着地したときは絶対太ももをすりむくと思います。終わった後は自分が撮影された写真や動画などをその場で見ることができます。気に入らなけば購入しないでOK！静止画2本と動画1本主人と合わせて3万円いかないくらいだったと思います。チップは人によっては指定してくる人もいますが次の人のタンデムにいくので、本人に直接渡すわけではありません。だからきにしなくていいとおもいます。いい思い出になりました。

I was deeply moved by the sunset, the star-filled sky afterward, and the Milky Way. Lying on my back in the darkness, listening to the guide's easy-to-understand explanations was so pleasant that I could have listened forever. The snapshot photos taken against the starry sky, which you can't normally capture, are also a precious memory. Please note that there are no restrooms at the stargazing location, so it's best to limit your intake of fluids like coffee beforehand. I personally wanted to go to the restroom towards the end because it got cold...

夕日と、そのあとの満点の星と天の川から大きな感動をもらいました。暗闇に仰向けに寝転んで聞くガイドさんのわかりやすい解説は、いつまでも聞いていたい心地よさがありました。普通では撮影できない星空をバックにしたスナップ写真も大切な記念です。なお、星空観測地点にはトイレがないので事前にコーヒーなどの水分を控えめにしておくこと。私自身、最後のほうは寒くてトイレに行きたかったので…。

Horseback riding can be enjoyed all over the world, and I make sure to experience it wherever I travel. While most clubs typically offer just a basic riding experience, this one responded to our requests and allowed us to canter.

We chose the standard 60-minute course with our guide and the two of us, making a total of three people. At one point, my husband, who has only ridden three times, expressed his desire to try running a bit! The guide happily agreed and took us cantering through the hilly forest right away. After that, we cantered in a wide highland, enjoying an incredible riding experience that you can't find at other tourist riding clubs.

Since we cantered, we ended up with some extra time, so they took a longer route back, and the scenery along the way was absolutely stunning.

Not only was I thrilled that we could canter, but I was also impressed by how incredibly well-trained the horses were. I think many horses at riding clubs often disregard their riders, but the horses here were very responsive! With just a light touch of my legs, they would transition from a walk to a canter!

If you go to Hawaii, you definitely should stop by this place! The donkey was also super cute! The girl who took photos for us captured wonderful pictures, so I think it's a great idea to buy some as souvenirs!

乗馬は世界中で楽しめるので、旅行先では必ず体験しています。
ほとんどのクラブが体験乗馬で終わる事が多いなか、こちらはリクエストに応えて駈足を出してくれました。

ガイドさんと私達２名、計３名で通常の６０分コースを選択。
途中、３度しか乗馬経験のない主人が少し走ってみたい！とリクエストしたところ、ガイドの女の子は清くＯＫしてくれ起伏のある森の中をすぐに駈足してくれました。
その後も広い高原に出て駈足をしたり、他の観光乗馬クラブでは体験出来ないような素晴らしい乗馬をさせて頂きました。

駈足をしたせいで時間が余ってしまったということで、遠回りをして帰ってくれたのですがその途中の景色がとても素晴らしかったです。

今回駈足ができたこともさることながら、馬が驚くほど素晴らしく調教されていることに感動しました。どこの乗馬クラブの馬も大抵乗り役を馬鹿にして反応しないことが多いと思いますが、こちらのお馬さんはとっっっても反応が良いです！！足が触れるくらいの扶助で並足→駈足が出ます！

ハワイに行ったら絶対立ち寄って欲しいです♪
ロバもとっても可愛かった～♪
カメラマンの女の子が素晴らしい写真を撮ってくれるので思い出に買うのも良いと思います！

The guide was entertaining and it was a lot of fun. The weather was nice, and I was very satisfied to see a beautiful starry sky.

ガイドさんは面白おかしくお話しされていて、とても楽しかったです。
お天気もよく、すごくきれいな星空をみることができ大変満足です。

We had a wonderful time horseback riding on the beach. We enjoyed lovely conversation with fellow attendees and wranglers. Shelby and Alex made this experience one to remember.

This was my second time participating. The instructor Tony was so handsome, it made my heart race, haha.
The view of Oahu from above was absolutely stunning, and I truly felt it was worth participating. I made wonderful memories. Thank you very much!

Mahalo~☆

今回二度目の参加でした。インストラクターのTonyがイケメンでドキドキしました　笑
もう、上空から見渡すオアフ島はあまりにも絶景で、参加して良かったと心から思いました。素敵な思い出が出来ました。ありがとうございました☆

Mahalo～☆

The scenery was beautiful with both the sea and the mountains, and it felt great. There were about ten people in our group, but everyone else was foreign. I didn't fully understand the explanations of the precautions since they were only in English, but I was still able to enjoy myself! Mahalo!

海に山にとても景色が良く気持ち良かったです。
10人ほどのグループでしたが、我々以外は全員外国人でした。
注意事項の説明も英語のみでよく分かりませんでしたが、楽しむ事は出来ました！
mahalo！

I went skydiving for the first time in Guam and had an amazing time, so I decided to jump again on this trip. After reading various experiences, I was prepared for a long wait, so I brought a paperback book with me.

First, I was picked up at the hotel and rode the bus for about an hour to the skydiving company (it's located in the North Shore area). On the bus, I had to fill out a lot of contracts, writing my initials repeatedly, which was quite tedious (typical of the lawsuit-happy United States!). Then, we watched a video about the safety instructions for the dive.

Upon arriving at the company, everything was explained in English, including the process, and I submitted the contracts and my ID for registration. After that, the instructor briefly went over the safety instructions we had seen in the video, all in English (it was really a simple explanation).

There was only one group ahead of ours, but the weather was great on the day I participated, with almost no wind, so we were able to get ready and jump right away.

The weather was beautiful, and the sky and sea in Hawaii were incredibly clear!!! It might have been clearer than in Guam. Since we jumped around 7 AM, it was much more beautiful than during the day. The view was breathtaking!!!

However, there were two things that I found puzzling.

First, despite paying a high price, they also asked for a tip. By the way, tipping wasn't required in Guam.

Second, when diving, a photographer jumps with you. However, some instructors wear wrist cameras. If you get one of those instructors, they will take photos up close and capture everything from start to finish. If the instructor doesn't have a wrist camera, the photographer will take pictures from the outside, which means they only capture the moments when you start jumping, during free fall, and when you land. I had the outside shooting.

After the dive, you can decide whether to buy the footage. You can choose just photos, just videos, or a combo, which is flexible. What surprised me was that the wrist camera option, which definitely takes better pictures, was cheaper than the outside shots! Why??? The outside images were rough, yet they were more expensive! The price for the combo was $230!!! I was shocked. The wrist camera combo was around $170. Either way, I thought it was expensive! I bought a CDR in Guam for about 5000 yen with beautiful images.

I hesitated about whether to buy the footage, but I decided to get it as a memory... How much are they trying to charge? It's just a USB with the images on it...

The dive itself was fantastic, but everything else felt a bit off.

以前グアムで初めてスカイダイビングをして、超楽しかったので今回の旅行でも飛ぼうと決めてました。
体験談を見ていると、待ち時間が長いという内容が多かったので、文庫本も持参し、長い時間待ちを覚悟してました。
まずホテルでピックアップしてもらって、約1時間バスに揺られて催行会社に向かいます(場所的にはノースシュアの方です)。バスの中では嫌になるぐらいたくさんイニシャルを書かなくてはいけない契約書を書かされます。(さすが裁判大国アメリカ！！)
そしてダイブの時の注意事項をビデオで見せられます。
催行会社に到着すると、簡単に流れ的な事を全て英語で説明されて、バスで書いた契約書と身分証明書を提出して受付します。
その後はバスの中で見たビデオの注意事項を再度インストラクターの人が簡単に教えてくれます。これも全部英語です。(ホントに簡単な説明です)

私達のバスのグループの前に一組だけグループがいましたが、私が参加した日は、天候も良く、風もほぼなかったので、即スタンバイして飛ぶ事が出来ました。

天気も良かったので、ハワイの空と海がめちゃくちゃキレイでした！！！グアムよりキレかったかも。
そして朝7時頃に飛んだので、昼間より何倍もキレイでした。最高の景色でした！！！

しかし、私的に？？？と思った事が2つ。
1つは高いお金払ってるのに、その上にチップを請求されます。ちなみにグアムではチップは要りませんでした。
２つ目はダイブする時にカメラマンも一緒に飛びます。でもインストラクターによって、リストカメラを付けている人もいます。
その人に当たれば間近で写真を撮ってくれるし、最初から最後まで撮ってくれます。リストカメラを付けていないインストラクターだと、一緒に飛ぶカメラマンが撮ってくれますが、アウトサイドからの撮影になるので飛び始め、フリーフォールの間、着地した時だけの撮影になります。
ちなみに私はアウトサイドからの撮影でした。
ダイブが終わった後、撮影した映像を見て買うか買わないか決めれます。
写真だけでもいいし、動画だけでもいいし、コンボで買ってもいいし、これも自由に選べます。ここでびっくりしたのが、リストカメラの方が確実にキレイに撮れているのにアウトサイドからの撮影の方が高いんです！！！！何で？？？
アウトサイドからの画像は雑です。なのに高い！！
雑な画像なくせにかなりのお値段です。コンボで230ドル！！！！びっくりですよ。
リストカメラの方はコンボで170ドルだったかなぁ。どっちにしても高っ！！！！って思いました。
グアムでもCDRを買いましたがキレイな画像で5000円くらいだったと思います。
買うかどうか迷いましたが、一応思い出と言うことで買いましたが。。。。
どんだけぼったくるんでしょう？たかがUSBに画像を入れてくれるだけなのに。。。

ダイブは最高でしたが、その他諸々は？？？って感じでした。

I organized my itinerary to see the Subaru Telescope and the beautiful Milky Way during this time, but at first, I was worried because it was cloudy. However, thanks to the guide's energetic power, the clouds disappeared, and I was able to enjoy a truly wonderful night sky. I was also very impressed that we could have such a fantastic bento and miso soup, along with warm drinks at the Onizuka Center and the summit. It was a fulfilling half-day, and I was able to see Saturn's rings after a long time. I'm looking forward to the photos you took. I felt the thin air at 4,000 meters, and with the guide's appropriate instructions, I was able to enjoy the experience without feeling unwell. I hope to have another opportunity.

天文台すばると美しい天の川を見たくて、この時期にエントリーできるように旅程を組みましたが、最初曇りでどうなることかと気をもみました。しかし、最後はガイドさんの元気なパワーで雲がどこかに飛んで行ってしまってとても素晴らしい夜空を堪能できました。途中のオニズカセンターと山頂で、であんな素晴らしいお弁当とお味噌汁、暖かい飲み物がいただけるなんて大感激です。土星の輪も久しぶりに見ることができてとても充実した半日でした。撮っていただいた写真も楽しみにしています。４０００ｍの空気の薄さを実感でき、ガイドさんに適切なご指導で、気分が悪くなることもなく楽しめました。また、機会があればと思います。

Last year, when I participated in a stargazing tour on Oahu, my guide told me, "If you want to see stars, Hawaii Island is the best." So this time, I joined a stargazing tour on Hawaii Island. The sky was clear, and I was able to see a wonderful starry sky. I also saw a shooting star for the first time. I was worried about altitude sickness, but our guide, Matsuzaki, provided very interesting and accurate advice, so I was able to enjoy the experience without feeling unwell. We took a break for a bento lunch, which was satisfying in both taste and portion size. There were various tour companies available, but I am grateful to have participated in this company's tour. I believe it is due to the high quality of the guide. I received pleasant service that showed care for each individual customer. I highly recommend it. I was informed that it would be good to consider sunset and sunrise tours, taking into account the full moon period, so I wanted to share that as a reference.

昨年オアフ島で星空ツアーに参加した時のガイドさんから「星を見るならハワイ島が良いですよ」と教えていただき、今回ハワイ島の星空ツアーに参加しました。空は良く晴れていて素晴らしい星空を見ることができました。流れ星も初めて見られました。高山病が心配だったのですが、ガイドの松崎さんがとても面白く的確なアドバイスをしてくれたので、体調を崩すことなく最高の思い出ができました。体を慣らすためにお弁当タイムをとったのですが、味も量も満足でした。いろいろなツアー会社がありましたが私はこの会社のツアーに参加できたことに感謝しています。それはガイドさんのクオリティーの高さだと思います。お客一人一人に気配りができた気持ちの良いサービスを受けることができました。ぜひおすすめです。満月の時期を考慮してサンセットとサンライズツアーを考慮すると良いといわれましたので、参考までにお知らせします。

Last year, I participated in late August, but unfortunately, the weather was affected by a hurricane. This time, however, we were blessed with good weather. We had a great time with everyone, enjoying the sunset from 4,200 meters. After soaking in the atmosphere, we descended a bit for stargazing, and observing from the roadside was also wonderful; it had been a long time since I could see the Milky Way clearly with the naked eye. Additionally, we were able to see Saturn through a telescope, along with artificial satellites, shooting stars, and the red flames of Kilauea. I thought I could lie there forever just watching. Amidst all this excitement, the guide's explanations of the constellations were delivered promptly, which deepened the experience even more. I'm glad I participated. Thank you very much. I would like to join again in a different season next time.

昨年は，8月下旬に参加しましたがハリケーンの影響で生憎の天候でしたが今回は天候に恵まれした。4200mからのサンセットをバックに私たちも皆さんと一緒にはしゃいぎました。余韻を残しながら星空観測のために少し下り、路肩での観測はこれまたすばらしく、天の川が肉眼ではっきりと見えるなんて久しぶりのことです。また、望遠鏡で土星がみられ人工衛星、流れ星、キラウエアの赤い炎、このまま寝転んでいつまでも観ていたいおもいました。そして、この感動の中、なんといってもガイドの星座の説明がテキパキとなされ一層深まりました。参加して良かったです。ありがとうございました。次回は季節を変えて参加したいと思います。

Our beach front and trail ride was outstanding. Our guide, Monique, was very nice and made our ride really enjoyable. It was much more than we expected...the views, the weather, the scenery and the horses were all above par! I would recommend this for anyone. Don't let the casual appearance at check in worry you...it's all part of the charm.

This is an all-English tour. You don't need to have strong English skills, but it might be tough if you can't understand at least a little.

For those who are not confident in their English, a Japanese tour has recently been established, which might be better even though it's more expensive. (It seems that only local guides were allowed to conduct tours until recently, but now Japanese guides have finally been permitted.)

The tour includes a full two hours of horseback riding. You'll be riding the whole time, which can be quite tiring.

The horses are well-trained, so even someone like me with almost no riding experience felt safe.

You'll ride around the Waipi'o Valley, and it was really fun to splash through the river.

I've also ridden in Oahu, but I definitely recommend this one!!

However, there are quite a few small flies, so it might be tough for those who are not good with insects.

すべて英語のツアーです。
英語力はそれほど必要ありませんが、ある程度は理解できないときついと思います。

英語に自信のない方は日本人のツアーが最近できたので、高いですがそちらの方が良いかも。
(ずーっと現地の人しかガイドができなかったらしいのですが、やっと日本人がガイドをやることを許されたらしいです。)

ツアーは2時間たっぷり乗馬します。
ずーっと乗りっぱなしです。結構疲れます。

馬はきちんと調教されている子達なので、乗馬経験がほぼない私でも安心して乗れました。

ワイピオ渓谷の中をぐるぐると乗馬して回ります。
川の中をじゃぶじゃぶと進んでいくのがとても楽しかったです。

オアフでも乗馬したことあるのですが、断然こちらがおすすめです！！

ただ、コバエのような虫が結構いるので虫が苦手な方はきついかも。。

I had a wonderful horseback riding experience in a stunning landscape that even beginners can enjoy! The drive to the stable in the van was thrilling as we went down a steep slope. The experience of crossing the river with the car and the horse was unique and very satisfying. My horse was a bit of a troublemaker, but it made the experience even more fun. It would be even better if they took care of the smell of the rental helmets (I was prepared for it, but it was still unpleasant). Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and both my husband and I are very satisfied!

素晴らしい景色の中、初心者でも楽しめる乗馬体験が出来ました！
バンで馬小屋まで向かうドライブが、これでもか！というぐらいの坂を下り、ハラハラドキドキでした 笑
川を車や馬でジャバジャバ渡る体験は、今までなく、とても満足できました。
私の馬は、少しジャジャ馬君でしたが、かえって楽しかったです。
レンタルのヘルメットの匂いケアをしてくれれば、尚良し。（覚悟していったがやはり臭い）
総じて、素晴らしい体験ができ、夫婦共々、大満足です！

I was able to fully enjoy the dynamic sunset.
I had special photos taken using the sunset (like making the sunset shine with my fingertips, posing like Kamehameha, jumping, etc.), and I was able to download them as well.
I also enjoyed the starry sky. I was very satisfied to confirm my zodiac sign, Scorpio.
The stargazing seminar was also fantastic!

ダイナミックなサンセットを満喫できました。
夕日を使った「特殊写真」（指先で夕日が輝く！、カメハメハを演技、ジャンプ等々）を撮影いただきダウンロードもできました。
星空も満喫できました。自分の星座である「さそり座」を確認でき大満足。
星空セミナー？！も最高でしたよ。

A trip to Hawaii for our silver wedding anniversary!
Our eldest son is getting married soon. This is the last trip for our family of five.
We all boarded the Cessna together.
Excitement and nervousness filled the air. Inside the plane, we were high-energy with the instructor. Go!!
It felt absolutely amazing. It was the best!! We could see Oahu clearly.
This view has become an unforgettable sight for a lifetime.

銀婚式旅行で、ハワイ旅行！
長男も、もうじき、結婚。家族5人の最後の旅行。
5人全員一緒のセスナ機に、乗り込み。
ワクワク、ドキドキ。飛行機の中は、インストラクターと、一緒に、ハイテンション。ゴー！！
めちゃくちゃ、気持ち、よかったです。最高！！でした。オワフ島が、しっかり見えました。
この景色は、一生、忘れない景色となりました。

I participated first thing in the morning!
I checked out using the tablet at the reception.
Including ourselves, there were three groups of nine people and three instructors.
Everything was explained in English, but they also used gestures, so it was enjoyable.
You can take photos, but the number is limited.
Also, it might be a bit pricey at $15 for one photo and $30 for three (laughs).
Purchasing is optional, so if you find something you like, definitely go for it.
The buggies along the way were thrilling and fun!

朝一で参加してきました！
受付にあるタブレットからチェックアウトします。
自分たちを含めて3組9人とインストラクターさん3人とまわりました。
すべて英語でも説明ですが、ジェスチャーも加えて説明してくれますので
楽しく行えました。
写真も撮っていただけますが、枚数は少な目です。
また1枚15ドル、3枚で30ドルとちょっとお高めかも(笑)
購入は自由なので気に入るものがありましたら是非。
途中のバギーも迫力があり楽しかったです！

The tour started with two vans guided by Matsuzaki and Konno. The Subaru Telescope was amazing, and I felt the greatness of Japanese technology through the guide's explanations. The summit was cloudy, and we could occasionally observe stars (since we were at the mercy of nature), but the guide worked hard to find a viewpoint where the Milky Way looked like a sky full of stars. I was very satisfied!

マツザキさんとコンノさんのガイドで2台のバンでツアー開始
スバル天文台が素晴らしい、ガイドさんの説明で日本技術の素晴らしさを感じた。
山頂は曇りで、たまに星が観測（自然が相手だけに）できたが、ガイドさんが頑張って、
天の川が満点の星空に見えるビューポイントを探して、大変満足！

This was the best experience and the guides made me feel so safe with their knowledge. This was a highlight of my trip I would definitely do it again with them!

Its a must do at least, it will leave you wanting to go again, professional staff and quality pics, and videos. I would give this a 5 star rating.

You descend to the bottom of a deep canyon and ride through the jungle on horseback. Driving down the narrow, winding, steep road feels like being on a theme park ride, but you can enjoy the beautiful canyon and black sand beach from the car window.

The horseback ride allowed us to cross rivers several times, adding to the adventurous experience. It was my first time riding a horse, but the English instructions were not difficult to understand, and the trained horses naturally formed a line and followed along. There was a guide at the front and back of the line, keeping an eye on things and ready to assist if needed, which made it easy to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

深い渓谷の底まで降りて行き、ジャングルの中を馬で進んでいきます。
車で狭く曲がりくねった急な道を降りていくのは、遊園地のアトラクションに乗り続けているかのようですが、車窓からは美しい渓谷と黒砂海岸を楽しめます。
馬上の散策は、途中、何度か川を越えたり、アドベンチャー気分を味わうことができました。
馬に乗るのは初めてでしたが、説明の英語は難しくないですし、訓練された馬なので勝手に列を形成して付いて行ってくれる感じでした。
ガイドも列の前後に一名ずついて、様子を見て何かあればサポートしてくれるので、安心して楽しめました。

Jake and Dustin were fantastic. They were knowledgeable and funny, made you feel safe. It rained the entire time but it didn't matter, this was the best part of our vacation. Mahalo!

My first skydiving experience was a bit worrisome because it was raining in the morning, but by around 9 AM, the skies cleared up and I started to see blue skies. By the time I jumped, it was the best condition with a rainbow appearing. It's really wonderful to see a rainbow from above the clouds.

Meeting at 5 AM was a bit tough, but it was worth it to get up early.

When we arrived, we received an explanation, but there were no Japanese-speaking staff, so the explanation ended without much understanding. Later, I managed to find a Japanese-speaking grandfather who was with another group and asked him for a full explanation from the beginning.

Upon arrival, we were prompted to store our belongings in lockers, but since there’s no guarantee that you can jump right away, I recommend keeping your belongings with you until your name is called.

The photos were quite pricey, as everyone mentioned, but I’m glad I got them. You can choose between having a photographer jump with you or using a self-camera.

人生初のスカイダイビングは朝から雨が降ってて少し心配ですが、9時過ぎ頃には晴れて青空が見え始め私が飛ぶ頃には虹が出ているベストコンディションでした。
空の上から虹が見れるなんてとても素敵ですね。

朝5時集合で少し早起きがしんどかったけど頑張って起きただけありました。

付いて説明を受けるのですが、日本語スタッフがおらずよくわからないまま説明終了。後から別団体を連れてきた日本語をしゃべれるおじいちゃんを捕まえて一から説明をお願いしました。

付いたらロッカーに荷物を預けるように促されるのですが、すぐに飛べる保証がないので名前を呼ばれるまで荷物は各自で持っておくことをお勧めします。

写真も皆さん行っていた通りとてもいい値段でしたがつけてよかったです。写真はカメラマンをつけて一緒に飛ぶのとセルフカメラと2種類選べます

Last time, I went diving in Guam and then in Hawaii. Due to the pickup arrangements, it took a bit too long; the pickup was at 5 AM, and we returned to the hotel around 1 PM. The diving was fun, but there was a difference in the instructors. (Well, I guess that's just human nature, haha.) I felt that the older instructor had a better sense of service. There was a Japanese-speaking driver present from start to finish, so there were no language issues.

　前回はグアムでダイビングしてのハワイのダイビング、ピックアップの関係で少々、時間かかりすぎ、朝五時ピックアップ、ホテル帰ったのが１３時頃でした。
ダイビングは楽しかったですが、インストラクターで差があり、（まあ人間なんでしょうがないですけど～　笑）少し年配のインストラクターの方がサービス精神が良かったように思えました。日本語を話せるピックアップの運転手さんが最初から最後まで居るので言葉には問題ありません。
