All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

It was a great decision to join the tour since it's a place we couldn't have accessed on our own. The thrill before horseback riding was fantastic! The horses were well-trained, which made me feel secure. However, the course was a bit monotonous, and I got bored halfway through. I wished we could have gone to a spot with a better view.

自分たちでは行くことのできない場所なのでツアーに入って正解でした。乗馬するまでにスリルたっぷり！でした。馬はよく慣らされていて、安心感がありました。ただ、コースが単調で途中で飽きてしまいました。見晴らしのいい場所まで行きたかったです。

It was incredibly beautiful! I was really excited and looking forward to getting on the Cessna, but as we ascended, I started shaking from fear! (laughs) However, the instructors inside the Cessna were very lively, perhaps to ease our nerves? (laughs) It made me feel much better! Once we reached the planned altitude, we just took off one after another without any hesitation, which was great! (laughs)

I highly recommend skydiving in Hawaii for the breathtaking views that you can't see in Japan, and it's affordable too!

I think it's better to wear long pants just in case you might fall when landing.

The mysterious wait time for the return shuttle was really long, and over there, it was mostly English, so just be aware of that!

Tips → Instructor $20 and up
Driver $10 and up

Other costs → Coin locker $1 (25 cents x 4)
Vending machine around $2, I think...

They can exchange money, so you don't need to worry about having small change!

すごく綺麗でした！
セスナに乗るまではすごく楽しみでワクワクしていたのですが、上に上がるにつれて怖さで震えました！笑
でもセスナの中でインストラクターの方々が緊張を和らげるため？笑 なのかすごく賑やかにして下さって楽になりました！
予定の高度に到達すると有無を言わさず前からどんどん飛んで行くのでそれも良かったです！笑


日本では見られない絶景と、安さなので是非ハワイでのスカイダイビングをおすすめします！

着地で転んだりする事もあると思うので、念のため長いズボンで参加された方が良いと思います。

帰りの送りの謎の待ち時間？がすごく長かったのと、向こうではほぼ英語のみだったのでそこだけ注意です！

チップ→インストラクター20ドル〜
ドライバー10ドル〜

その他→コインロッカー1ドル(25セント×4)
自動販売機2ドルぐらいだったかな…

両替して下さるので小銭なくても大丈夫です！

We left the hotel around 8:30 AM and returned around 3:00 PM. We went kayaking, hiking, and saw a waterfall, then did the reverse on our way back. The return kayaking was a bit tiring, but I think even beginners can manage. The guide was close to the slowest kayak, which was reassuring. Along the way, boats going to the fern cave were passing by, so we were busy avoiding them when they came. Perhaps because the weather was good, we didn't need to use rain gear, and hiking in the rainforest was easier than I imagined. The backpack with water and lunch was heavy, but I think two girls can manage it just fine. More than that, please enjoy the scenery of Kauai and try experiences you can't usually have. It was a fulfilling time.

朝の8:30ぐらいにホテルをでて、戻ってくるのが15:00ごろ。カヤックして、ハイキングをして、滝をみて、またその逆をこなして帰ってきます。帰りのカヤックは少々疲れましたが、初心者でもなんとかできると思います。ガイドさんも一番遅いカヤック近くにいてくれるので安心でした。途中、シダの洞窟行きの船が行き交うので船の来るときは避けるのに必死でした。天候も良かったせいか、雨具を使うこともなく熱帯雨林でのハイキングも想像よりは楽でした。水やランチを入れたリュックは重いですが、女子2人でもなんとか大丈夫だと思います。それよりも、カウアイ島の景色を楽しんだり普段できない体験をぜひしてみてください。満喫できました。

We participated as a couple.
First, we went to the Dole Plantation. At the entrance, the guide took photos of each group! They recommended some ice cream, but since we weren't hungry, I plan to try it next time.

Next, we went to a beach where we could see sea turtles. The turtles weren't on the sandy beach, and we ended up just watching the ones swimming until our time was up.

In Haleiwa, I had planned to eat garlic shrimp from Macky's, but the bus dropped us off quite far from the restaurant, and due to time constraints, we had to give up on that. I was really looking forward to going there when we visited the North Shore, so it was very disappointing. Instead, we ate at a Japanese-owned restaurant called CAMARON, which the guide recommended, but honestly, the garlic shrimp I had around the hotel on another day was better. The service of having shrimp with shells for an extra dollar was convenient and nice. It was very Japanese-style service. After that, we had Huli Huli chicken, which was delicious.

The horseback riding experience was different from what you might find in Japan, where an attendant is always right next to you. After getting on the horse, I was allowed to walk on my own. My horse (Nioi) was very smart; when the horse in front stopped, it would eat grass, but it followed along nicely when the other horse moved, so I didn't have to steer at all. My husband's horse (Rio) seemed to have a hard time as it wandered off to eat grass. It seemed to vary a lot depending on the horse assigned. The beachside ride was pleasant and very enjoyable.

Since we had some extra time, the guide took us to see a rock with a hole in it in Laie and to a macadamia nut factory, which wasn't on the original itinerary! Thank you to our guide.

夫婦で参加しました。
まずドールプランテーションへ。入口でガイドさんが各組ごとに写真を撮ってくれました！オススメのアイスを紹介してくれましたが、お腹が減っていなかったため、次回チャレンジしたいと思います。

続いて海亀の見えるビーチへ行きました。亀は砂浜にはおらず、泳いでいる亀を見て時間終了してしまいました。

ハレイワの街では、マッキーズのガーリックシュリンプを食べるつもりでいたのですが、バスで降ろされた場所がお店から距離があり、時間的に厳しかった為断念しました。
ノースショアに行ったら絶対行きたいと思っていただけにとても残念でした。代わりにガイドさんがオススメしてくれた日本人経営のCAMARONという店で食べましたが、正直別日にホテル周辺で食べたガーリックシュリンプの方が美味しかった。プラス1ドルでエビの殻付きのサービスがあったのは食べやすくて良かったです。日本人らしいサービスですね。それからフリフリチキンを食べました。こちらは美味しかったです。

乗馬体験は、日本でできるような係の人が常に隣にぴったり付いてるような乗馬と違い、馬に載せてもらった後は、1人で歩かせてくれます。私の馬（ニオイ）はとてもお利口で、前の馬が止まると草を食べたりしていましたが、前が進むとしっかり付いて歩いてくれたので、全く操縦をすることがなかったです。主人の馬（リオ）は草を食べに寄り道して、大変そうでした。担当する馬によって全然違うみたいでした。乗馬での海辺散歩は気持ちよくてとても楽しかったです。

時間に余裕があったので、予定されているスポットとは別に、ぽっかり穴が空いた岩があるライエや、マカデミアナッツ工場へ連れて行ってくれました！ガイドさんありがとうございました。

However, that's what makes it interesting. I've done zip-lining in Japan as well, but the distance and scenery here are incomparable. You should definitely experience it.

しかしそこが面白い。日本でもZIPラインをやったことがありますが、距離と景色が比べ物になりません。是非体験してください。

It was really great to join a tour to reach the summit of Mauna Kea, as it's difficult to go there on your own. The sunset from the summit was a truly magical sight. As for stargazing, instead of the usual observation from the Onizuka Visitor Center, they took us to the best spot of the day and provided explanations in Japanese, making it very enjoyable and easy to understand.

マウナケア山頂へは個人では行きにくいので、ツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。
山頂からのサンセットはとても幻想的に光景でした。
星空観測についても、よくあるオニヅカビジターセンターからの観測ではなく、その日のベストスポットに連れて行ってくれ、日本語で説明をしてくれるので、とても楽しくわかりやすかったです。

This was my first ride and the one activity that was more for me than the birthday boy, he did enjoy it as well though!! Our guides were awesome and even remembered our names although It was a group of 6... Only wish is that it was a little later so that we could have gotten a darker sky with more colors!!
Very calm and relaxing activity!!

The sunset and stars were really beautiful.

You better bring an extra layer to go up to the top of Mauna Kea. It was much colder than we expected. But still worth going to see!

Was a great day to ride . horses were well trained. Guide was very nice and offered a lot of advice re Hawaii. A must do

My first skydiving experience! It was a cloudy day, and I was anxious about the long wait and whether I would actually get to jump, but somehow I was able to take the plunge about two and a half hours after arriving. I was extremely nervous leading up to the jump, but once I was in the air, it felt amazing and was over in no time. It was so much fun! There were a lot of handsome instructors, which was a nice bonus (laughs).

初めてのスカイダイビング！
雲の多い日で、待機時間が長く飛べるかどうか不安でしたがなんとか到着してから2時間半くらいで挑めました。
飛ぶまでがものすごく緊張しましたが、飛んだら最高に気持ちよくてあっという間でした。楽しかった〜！！イケメンインストラクターが多いくてそれも満足（笑）

We had a great time, the guides were friendly and the equipment was well maintained. I would do it again.

From the meeting point, we took a van down a steep slope to the valley. You can experience the old-fashioned Hawaii that you wouldn't normally see.

Besides our family, there were two families from Europe and America participating. The explanations were all in English, but that wasn't a problem.

We crossed the river on horseback and passed by a taro field.

集合場所からは、バンに乗りかなり急な坂を渓谷まで降りて行きます。
普通では見れない、昔ながらのハワイを感じることが出来ます。

参加者は我が家の他は、欧米の家族の二組でした。
説明は全部英語ですが、問題ないです。

川を馬に乗って渡ったり、タロイモ畑のわきを通ったりしました。

This is a horseback riding club located near Kaena Point on the North Shore. There were six participants, and everyone seemed to be a beginner. Two staff members accompanied us, and the horses were well-trained, which made us feel safe.

We were able to ride along the beautiful North Shore coastline and had a wonderful time.

ノースショアのカエナポイントの近くにある乗馬クラブです。
参加者は６人でした、皆初心者のようでした。
スタッフさんは二人付いてくれて、馬も慣れているので安心です。

綺麗なノースの海沿いを乗馬できて、素敵な時間を過ごせました。

Such a wicked day which was enhanced by Lono and his approach to the group and how he chatted with us about all & sundry. He had such a vast knowledge of the land which was an added bonus :)
Would definitely recommend the tour.
The whole experience was wicked!!

This was an amazing adventure to take! The only thing I would want to change and suggest is to bring a cushion. The seats on the bus were extremely uncomfortable. Also, I wished we would have stopped at more waterfalls, seemed to rush through them pretty quickly, but I figured they have a set schedule and placement with all the other tours. It might be better to be different and step out of the norm of all the other charters? Anyway, I did enjoy the driver Larry, he was so knowledgeable and sometimes funny!

I highly suggest taking this fishing cruise! Not only was the Captain and crew very knowledgeable on all the types of fish, the Captain put us in the perfect spot so that practically everyone on board caught at least one fish. I myself caught 4, and two of those were keepers. They were all cleaned and ready for me when we departed the boat and I was even given the perfect way to eat them. What a fun time!

Skydiving was an incredible experience! I think it will be an unforgettable moment in my life. The instructor was very kind, and from the pickup at 5:20 AM to arriving back at the hotel around 9:30 AM, there was almost no waiting time for skydiving, which made it very efficient.
However, I have one complaint. The fee for my wife, who accompanied me as a spectator, was about 5,400 yen, which I think is too high. If they are going to charge that much, I believe they should at least include drinks or light snacks, but there was absolutely no service provided.
If they enhance the services for accompanying guests, I think it could become an even better shop. Overall, though, I received satisfactory service, so I definitely recommend that those who are hesitant give it a try!

スカイダイビングは最高の気分を味わえました！人生で忘れられない経験になると思います。インストラクターも親切に対応してくれたし、朝5時20分の迎えから、終わってホテルに着いたのが9時30分頃でスカイダイビングの待ち時間もほとんど無く、スピーディーでした。
ただ一つ不満があります。見学者として同行した妻の料金が約5400円と高過ぎます。
これだけの料金を取るなら、ドリンクや軽食サービスくらいは付いていてもいいとは思うのですが、サービスは何も一切なし。
同行者に対するサービスを充実させれば、もっといいショップになるんじゃないでしょうか。
ただ全体的には満足いくサービスを受けれたので、迷ってる方は是非チャレンジした方がいいと思います。

Fantastic experience with professional and fun guides. We booked this activity due to the diversity of the kayak-swim-zipline activities offered, which we thought would be perfect for our group of 6 ranging in age from 11 to 68. We were not disappointed. Easygoing and fun tour guides, great activities and a relaxed and fun atmosphere, coupled with a great lunch made for an overall epic day. Book it!

For my first time...amazing! Will don't again in a heartbeat! Great awesome amazing experience!

Had a good time. Id go again. This time i would like to try the sunset ride.

I want to go back and do this again!! Fun for all ages and abilities.

Initially, I had planned to go horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, but I couldn't make a reservation because I applied too late. So, while searching, I found a tour that allowed me to explore the town of Haleiwa and go horseback riding, so I signed up for that.

Before the horseback riding, I received a lecture on how to ride from a Japanese driver, which helped me understand the instructor's English during the actual riding session. The instructor also spoke some simple Japanese (like right and left). At first, I was very nervous, so I couldn't really enjoy the scenery around me, and I was desperately trying to prevent the horse from eating grass nearby (I had to pull the reins to stop it!). However, as I got used to it, I was able to enjoy the magnificent nature while moving with the horse.

当初、クアロアランチで乗馬をしようと計画していましたが、申し込みが遅く予約がとれませんでした。
ならば・・・と探していると、ハレイワの街も観光できて、乗馬もできるというツアーを見つけたので、こちらを申し込みました。
乗馬の前に日本人のドライバーさんから乗り方のレクチャーを受けていたので、実際の乗馬のインストラクターの方の英語もなんとなくわかりましたし、簡単な日本語（右・左など）は話してくれます。
始めはとても緊張していたので、なかなか周りの景色までも楽しむ余裕もないし、馬が近くの草を食べようとして（食べさせないようにこちらが手綱を引っ張らないといけない！）それを阻止するのに必死でしたが、慣れてくると馬の動きに合わせて雄大な自然を楽しむことができました。

Punctual and friendly driver. Water and bug spray is provided. Good price and good
value.

I’m not good at English at all, but I thought I could manage by watching the people around me, so I gave it a try. Everyone except me was a foreigner, and the explanations were all in English.

At one point, I was told to grab the red cord when I reached the goal. If I didn’t, I would be pulled back like in bungee jumping and wouldn’t be able to return. The instructor worked hard to help me, but I ended up in tears… However, it was so much fun that I want to do it again!

英語全くダメなんですが、周りの人達見てたらなんとかなるだろうと挑戦。私以外、みんな外人の方で説明も英語。
途中で、言われますがゴールする時赤い紐を掴んで下さい。バンジーの様に戻され戻れなくなります。インスタラクターの方が一緒懸命戻してくれましたが、涙目になりました…でも、またやりたいと思うぐらい楽しかったです！

I'm someone who can hardly ride thrill rides, but I decided to try skydiving, thinking it might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The moment I jumped out of the plane was terrifying! However, when I opened my eyes, I saw beautiful ocean, sky, and mountains! I forgot my fear and enjoyed the scenery, thinking I had to remember it all.

Since I was on my honeymoon, it was quite expensive, but I purchased both photos and videos! Afterward, we checked the images and laughed at each other's pictures (laughs). I'm glad we made such fun memories!

I recommend bringing a long-sleeve shirt! It was hot when we were falling because the sun was so close, but it felt cold up in the air even with long sleeves.

絶叫系のアトラクションにほぼ乗れない私ですが、一生に一回しか出来ないかもしれないと思いスカイダイビングに挑戦しました。
飛行機から落ちてすぐまでは怖い！しかなかったですが目を開けてみたら綺麗な海！空！山！目に焼き付けないとと怖さも忘れて景色を楽しめました。
ハネムーンで行っていたので結構高かったですが、写真とビデオ両方購入しました！終わってから画像チェックをしてお互いの写真を見て大笑い（笑）楽しい思い出が出来てよかったです！
長袖を持って行くことをオススメします！落ちている時は太陽が近くて暑いですが、上空は長袖でも寒く感じました。

our guide was very informative of the plants & trees which made it a treat as he picked fresh guava which we all ate, delicious! The trail was a little muddy as it had rained the night before, no big deal. The waterfalls were beautiful, but the water was murky because of the rain the night before. So, we didn't swim in the pools, but the guide more than made up for it due to his knowledge an histories of the area. Very much enjoyed the tour!

The hike was a little challenging but it was worth it to see the amazing views of the canyon. Sitting atop the waterfall for lunch was icing on the cake! Our guide was great as well.

I dislike roller coasters, but I participated out of curiosity because I want to experience it at least once in my life! I can't speak English at all, but they taught me patiently! I was able to see beautiful scenery, and I was very moved! I want to go skydiving again when I go to Hawaii!

ジェットコースターが嫌いな私ですが、
一生に一度は体験をしたい！という興味本位で参加しました。
全く英語しゃべれませんが、丁寧に教えてくださりました！綺麗な景色が見れて、とても感動しました！またハワイに行くときもスカイダイビングしたいです！！

This time, I participated with my 61-year-old mother and 33-year-old daughter (myself). The activity is a meet-up at the location, but it's far from Waikiki, so if you don't have a rental car, you'll need to take a taxi or find another way to get there. I drove the rental car for about 50 minutes, as there was some traffic along the way. The road at the end is an unpaved gravel road, and since there are no signs along the way, it can be a bit unsettling.

As for the horseback riding, at our 9 AM reservation, there were five other customers (two groups of two and one group of one) besides us, but those five formed one group, while we were in a separate group with one instructor for the two of us. The five-person group had a photographer with them who took pictures while they moved (we did not have a photographer).

All the explanations were in English, but they taught the basic movements with gestures, so even if you don't speak English, you'll manage. Also, during the actual horseback riding, the horses are smart, so even if you don't perform the instructed movements, the horses will keep moving along, so you'll be fine as long as you're on the horse.

It's a one-hour course, and we were able to enjoy Hawaii's nature by going through the forest and to places where we could see the ocean. If I had to wish for something, I think it would have been even more fun if the horses had a bit more speed, but overall, I was satisfied with the experience.

今回、61歳の母と33歳の娘(私)の2名で参加しました。
こちらのアクティビティは、現地集合なのですがワイキキからは遠いので、レンタカーを借りていない場合はタクシーで行くなどの方法になります。私は途中渋滞もあった為、レンタカーを50分程運転して行きました。道は最後だけ舗装されていない砂利道を通るのですが、途中に看板などが無い為、少し不安になります。

肝心の乗馬ですが、私達が予約した9時にはお客さんが私達以外に5人(2人、2人、1人のグループ)いましたが、その5人で1グループ、私達は2人にインストラクターが1人つく別グループでした。5人グループの方には、カメラマンがついていて写真を撮りながらの移動のようでした(私達の方にはカメラマンはいませんでした)。

説明は全て英語でしたが、ジェスチャーを交えて基本の動きを教えてくれるので、英語ができなくてもなんとかなります。また、実際の乗馬中は馬が賢いので、教えてもらった動作をしなくても馬がどんどん進んでくれますので、馬に乗っていれば大丈夫です。

1時間のコースですが、森の中や海が見える場所に行ったりと、ハワイの自然を満喫する事ができました。
欲を言えば、馬のスピードがもう少しあるとより楽しかったかなと思いますが、総合評価は満足でした。

It was an awesome experience for my whole family! Our pilot Nathan and everyone else who help make this happen, thank u!
