All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I have been to Hawaii several times, but I participated in this activity because I could experience horseback riding. While enjoying the North Shore, including the Dole Plantation and the town of Haleiwa, I took a 45-minute horseback ride along the coast. The scenery was beautiful, the horses were adorable, and I was able to enjoy nature.

8/1…何度か来てるハワイでしたが、乗馬が体験できるので、こちらのアクティビティに参加しました。
ドールプランテーションやハレイワの街など、ノースショアを満喫しながら、海岸を乗馬で45分間散策しました。
景色は綺麗だし、馬は可愛いし、自然の中で楽しむことができました。

Two years ago, I participated in the "Manoa Falls Hiking Tour" and had a great experience, so this time I wanted to try a different tour and chose this one. In addition to wanting to enjoy the tropical rainforest, I also hoped to see the introduced and now wild Madara Yadokugaeru (poison dart frog) and Jackson's chameleon if possible.

I had some concerns about not having a Japanese guide, but I thought it would be fine and decided to join. Besides me, there was a group of three from California. The guide was a local named Terry.

When we arrived and I mentioned wanting to see the Madara Yadokugaeru and Jackson's chameleon, Terry seemed a bit surprised but said, "I think the Madara Yadokugaeru is probably here. The chameleon is around, but it's slow-moving and hard to spot."

The destination was actually near Manoa Valley, and although the route and the waterfall were different from the Manoa Falls trekking, it was quite similar. I thought this course was a bit narrower and steeper, making it more challenging, but it was by no means a difficult course.

Terry provided detailed explanations not only about the names of the plants but also their origins and the history of Hawaii's vegetation. However, since he spoke completely in native English, it might be a bit challenging to understand (^_^;)

And happily, a boy in our group found the Madara Yadokugaeru, and we were able to take pictures of it! Because I made a somewhat niche request at the beginning, both the guide and the other participants helped look for it.

There was a sense of accomplishment when we reached the waterfall, and above all, I was thrilled to finally see the poison dart frog, so I was very satisfied. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the Jackson's chameleon, but I felt it was worth participating.

　2年前に「マノア滝ハイキングツアー」に参加してなかなか良かったので、今回は違うツアーに…と思ってこのツアーを選びました。
　熱帯雨林の自然を満喫したいというのに加えて、出来たらハワイに移入されて野生化しているマダラヤドクガエルとジャクソンカメレオンの姿を見てみたい希望もあったのです。
　日本語ガイドでないというので一抹の不安はありましたが、まあ何とかなるだろうと思って参加しました。
　僕の他にはカリフォルニアから来た母子３人組。ガイドはテリーさんと言うハワイ生まれの方でした。
　現地に着いて「マダラヤドクガエルとジャクソンカメレオンが見たい。」と言うと流石にちょっと驚いた風情でしたが、「マダラヤドクガエルは多分いると思うよ。カメレオンはいるにはいるが、動きがゆっくりしていて見つけづらいんだ。」と言ってくれました。
　目的地は実はマノア渓谷の近くで、マノア滝トレッキングとはルートも目的の滝も違うものの、よく似たコースです。今回のコースの方がちょっと狭くて勾配も強く、難易度が高いかなと思いますが、決して厳しいコースではありません。
　テリーさんは、植物の名前だけでなく、由来、更にはハワイの植生の歴史まで丁寧に説明してくれました。ただ、完全にネイティブ・イングリッシュなので、聴き取って理解するのはちょっと大変かもしれません(^_^;)
　そして、嬉しい事にマダラヤドクガエルを同行者の男の子が見つけてくれ、写真に収める事が出来たのです！
　冒頭にマニアックな発言をしたものだから、ガイドさんだけでなく、同行者も一緒になって探してくれたおかげです。
　滝に辿り着いた時の達成感もありましたし、何と言っても念願のヤドクガエルを見られたのだから、大満足です。残念ながらジャクソンカメレオンは見つけられませんでしたが、参加してよかったと思っています。

This was our first time riding horses and running with them. It was so fun. The guides Freddy and Taryn were awesome. They truly cared about the people they took out. The views from this ride were amazing.

The 2-hour horseback riding experience was extremely satisfying. The horses were well-trained and seemed to remember the course, so I could ride comfortably without needing excessive control. Along the way, I could see the ocean and filming locations, which offered stunning views!

2時間の乗馬体験はとっても大満足でした。馬達は良く調教されていて、コースを覚えているようで、必要以上のコントロールは必要なく安心して乗ることができました。途中で海が見えたり映画の撮影場所が見れたり、絶景でした！

I got fully fascinated by this Keana Farms Zipline adventure program. I become one of serious fans of Keana Farm Zipline. It was very exciting experience and the best activity that my famaily got during this summer vacation in Hawaii. Thx for every rangers (especially Ms.Princess). Hope we will be there soon again.

In spite of very short time 15 min., my son and I were fully satisfied with this glider riding. While being towed by an airplane, we didn't have any concern of falling down. But later we could fly in the air without an engine...wow quite awesome. No worry no concern no fear at all during the flight. a very soft flying..

This tour focuses on horseback riding, but you can also stop by the Dole Plantation (for about an hour) and do some sea turtle watching (for about 10 minutes) along the way. However, since these are just side stops, you might not want to expect too much from them. The main horseback riding experience was great for beginners, as they teach you from scratch. The terrain was surprising, as I didn't know there were such forested areas in Hawaii. However, the driver, who was with us the longest, could speak Japanese but didn't talk much, so the hospitality was a bit lacking... Everyone seemed to be sleeping during the ride.

*Note: The horseback riding can get quite muddy, so make sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.*

乗馬をメインとしたツアーですが移動途中にDoleプランテーション（滞在1時間）やウミガメ（滞在10分）ウォッチングなどもできます。でも飽くまでついでに寄るくらいなのであまり期待しない方がいいかも。メインの乗馬は一から教えてくれるので初心者向けで面白かったです。地形もハワイにこんなところがあったのかと思うような森の中を進みます。ただ一番長い間一緒にいるドライバーのお兄さんが日本語は話せるけどあまりしゃべらない人でホスピタリティについてはビミョー。。みんな移動中は寝てましたね。

※乗馬では足元が結構ドロドロなので汚れても良い格好で行きましょう。

Without doubt the best experience we had while here. Doug the pilot was full of knowledge, funny, great with the kids on board and made the tour even better if possible.
Everything from booking to the flight was smooth and professional.
Can not recommend this enough. It's simply a must!!

Riding on the back of a slowly walking horse while gazing at the beautiful sea was truly enjoyable. It was my first time riding a horse, but I was able to get on easily without feeling scared. I think the horse was quite old, so I felt grateful for the ride and hoped it would do its best to walk, but I was just so happy to have my first horseback riding experience. My husband said that a shorter time would have been fine, but I wanted to go riding for the same amount of time every day. As for clothing, I thought that as long as I wore sturdy footwear (like sneakers), it would be fine, just like when sightseeing.

ゆっくりと歩く馬の背中に乗り、とってもキレイな海を眺めながらの時間は本当に楽しかったです。馬に乗るのは初めてだったのですが、怖い思いもせず、簡単に馬の背中に乗れました。たぶん、かなり高齢の馬だと思ので、乗せてくれてありがとうございます、頑張って歩いてくださいねって感じもありましたが、私は初乗馬が嬉しいばかりでした。主人は、もっと短い時間でも良いと言いましたが、私は同じ時間ぐらいを毎日でも乗りに行きたかったです。服装は足元さえしっかりしたもの(スニーカー等)を履いていれば、他の観光するときと同じで大丈夫だなと思いました。

While we had fun, there were a few issues that made this an average excursion:
- they did not provide goggles as indicated. They are definitely needed. Even with my sunglasses on, the amount of dirt that got in my eyes made it difficult to see. It was painful.
- we stopped at 1 movie site.
- an hour is not enough time.
- you get pretty dirty. Don't wear a light color. I'm still trying to get dirt stains out of my shirt.

Maybe there's limits because of the size of the multi passenger vehicle. Based on the description on the site, we expected more. The people on the single rider ATVs looked like they had a lot of fun.

We would go again after my daughter is old enough for the single rider ATVs

During our stay in Hawaii, we booked this tour at my daughter's request. We found a zipline-only tour with pickup from Waikiki at Keana Farms. It seems there is also a reservation booth on the 1st floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki, but since I usually book with VELTRA, I felt secure making the reservation.

Perhaps it's still not well-known among Japanese travelers? The shuttle bus and at the site, we only encountered people from Europe, America, and Australia, and did not meet any Japanese guests. By the way, check-in and explanations are all in English, but the staff are very friendly, so even basic English is sufficient (laughs).

The travel time from Waikiki is about 1.3 hours one way, with a waiting time on-site (including gear preparation) of about 30 minutes, and the zipline experience with seven lines (the longest being about 1200 meters?) takes around three hours. The movement between ziplines is on foot, but there are enough features to enjoy. There are also two or three water stations, so all belongings, including water, can be stored for free at the counter before departure.

For clothing, a T-shirt and pants that can get dirty, along with athletic shoes or sneakers, are necessary. My daughter bought inexpensive items at H&M in Waikiki to prepare (sweat). Also, if you want to take photos with a camera or iPhone, a neck strap is needed.

The thrill of sliding down towards the ocean is amazing, and the scenery is something you absolutely cannot experience in Japan! I highly recommend it.

ハワイ滞在中に、娘のリクエストでこのツアーを申し込みました。
ワイキキから送迎付きでジップラインだけのツアーを探しケアナファームを見つけました。ワイキキのロイヤル・ハワイアン・センター１Ｆにも予約ブース？があるようですが、いつもお願いしているＶＥＬＴＲＡさんも取り扱っていたので安心して予約できました。
まだ、日本の方々には知られていないのか？送迎バス、現地においても欧米豪の方ばかりで日本人の方とお会いすることはありませんでしたね。ちなみにチェックインや説明などは全て英語ですが、スタッフが非常に親切なのでカタコト程度の英語でも大丈夫でした（笑）
ワイキキからの移動片道：約1.3時間、現地待ち時間（装具の準備を含め）：約30分、ジップライン７本（最長1200ｍ？）：約３時間、バギーでの移動は最初のみで10分程度でした。
ジップライン間の移動は徒歩ですが、それなりに仕掛けがあって楽しめます。また、給水ポイントが２、3か所ありましたので、水を含めた荷物は全て出発前に無料でカウンターが預かってくれます。服装は汚れても良いＴシャツ・ズボンに運動靴かスニーカーが必要です。娘はワイキキのＨ＆Ｍで安価なものを購入し準備してました（汗）。あと、カメラやiPhoneで撮影するなら首からのストラップが必要ですね。
海に向けて滑り下りる爽快感は最高です、また日本では絶対体験できない景観も素晴らしいですよ！！おすすめします。

Both hikes were fantastic! My grandson enjoys hiking and loved both experiences. He especially enjoyed the Manoa Falls Trail hike. The sky was overcast and we got rained on several times, but that just added to the experience! We thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Beautiful and interesting hike through the lush rainforest but not at all physically challenging. Really enjoyed the hike but the downhill bike part was so boring! The guides pretty much wrapped us in cotton wool, they wouldn't let us go any faster than 5 miles (and it was purely downhill road, no cycling required!), and they kept stopping us for one reason or another. I'd recommend the tour though, the scenery was great and the guides knowledgeable and nice.

First timers, Wendy and I joined another couple who were also rookies. Well Kai did a fantastic job of keeping us interested all the way grog ha. 40 minute flight.great job Kai...
That's one off the bucket list

It was such a great experience! I booked it as a surprise for my mums birthday and she loved it. It's greatly priced especially for it going for 45mins - usually that time frame would cost nearly double that.
The pilot (Margo) did a wonderful job, she pointed a lot of things out, she was funny and made us all feel completely safe :)
I highly recommend it to everyone! Loved every minute of it.

The tour conductor was Matt, and he was very funny and kind! It was a really enjoyable tour filled with laughter thanks to Matt's lively talk. The food was delicious, and they also lent us warm clothing, which was wonderful. Above all, Matt's spirit of service and his extensive knowledge about the land and stars were truly amazing and impressive. Thanks to him, I made unforgettable memories. Thank you!

ツアーコンダクターはまっちゃんで、とっても面白くて親切な方でした！！
まっちゃんの軽快なトークに笑いながらとっても楽しいツアーでした。
ご飯もおいしかったし、防寒具も貸して頂き、素晴らしかったです。
何よりもまっちゃんのサービス精神と土地や星など色々な知識が本当に本当に素晴らしくて、感動しました。
おかげで忘れられない思い出ができました。ありがとうございました！

The beautiful sunset and the starry sky were wonderful. I also appreciated the service that allowed us to take photos and download them for free.

とれもきれいな夕陽とたくさんの星空がとてもよかったです。写真も撮影してくれた上、無料でダウンロードできるサービスが良かったです。

The sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea was also very wonderful, but it was a bit cold. During the stargazing, I saw the Milky Way for the first time in my life. The guide's explanations were easy to understand and entertaining. I was very satisfied to see various colored stars through the telescope, including Saturn's rings, Antares in Scorpius, and the stars of the Big Dipper, as well as the Andromeda Galaxy.

マウナケア山頂サンセットもとても素晴らしかったのですが少し寒かった
星空観測では、生まれて初めて天の川を見ました。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく,おもしろおかしく説明してくれました。
望遠鏡で土星の環やさそり座のアンタレス、北斗七星の連星など、いろいろな色の星、
アンドロメダ星雲も見ることができ大満足です。

I rode at Sweetheart for two days on July 11 and 12 (the canter course was an additional $10). It takes about two hours to get there from Ala Moana by The Bus. There were a lot of children, possibly because Hawaii's schools are on summer break. When we arrived, there was no one at the reception. After informing a wandering person that we had a reservation, a staff member came out, and we signed a waiver before preparing the horses. The four of us enjoy riding outside both domestically and internationally, so we came here intending to gallop. As expected, we were able to ride at speeds of 40 km or more. However, I think it's important to inform the guide about the speed you are comfortable with, as it can be dangerous if you haven't experienced this level of speed beforehand. The canter within the riding club is limited to about 20 km, which feels like shifting from third to fourth gear in a car. We had lunch on a hill overlooking the North Shore, but the lunch box in the horse's saddle pocket got all mixed up due to the up-and-down vibrations. On the second day, we decided not to bring lunch and ate after returning. Also, the stirrups are often too long for Japanese riders, so if they don't fit, it's important to adjust them (or switch to a child’s saddle if adjustments aren't possible) to avoid falling off during canter or gallop. I believe it's better to communicate, even in broken English, regarding speed and other matters, as accidents are the rider's responsibility. Compared to riding in Japan, the sense of freedom is completely different, making it an excellent ranch for those who want to ride fast. (The walking course is just for walking, and the canter course is optional.) It's a pity that the time for each course is predetermined, limiting the options available.

7/11,12の２日間スｲートハート（キャンターコースはオプションで$10アップでした）で騎乗。The Busでアラモアナから2時間で行けます。ハワイの学校が夏休みに入ったのか子供たちがいっぱい。我々が着いても受付に誰もいません。うろうろしている人に「予約している」と告げるとスタッフが出てきて免責の書面に各人サインしてから馬の準備。我々4人は内外地で外乗で走ることを楽しんでいますので、ここでもギャロップで走るつもりで来ました。内容は予想通り40Kmかそれ以上のスピードで走ることが出来ました。ただし、事前にこの程度の速度を経験していないと危険ですので、ガイドさんにはどの程度で走るかを指示しておく必要があると思います。乗馬クラブのラチ内での駈足は20Ｋｍ位までですので車で言うとギアが３速から４速に上がる感じです。途中ノースショアの景色を見下ろせる丘でランチですが、馬のゼッケンのポケットに入れてあったランチボックスの中が上下の振動でグチャグチャになっていました。２日目はランチを持って行かないで戻ってから食事にしました。また、鐙は日本人には長すぎることが多いので、自分に合わない場合は妥協しないで調節（調節出来ない場合は子供用の鞍に替えてもらう）しないとキャンター、ギャロップでは落馬につながります。速度の点も含めて片言ででも英語で意思疎通が出来た方が良いと思います。事故は自己責任ですので。日本での外乗と比べて解放感がまったく違い、速く走りたい方には絶好の牧場です。（歩くコースは歩くだけ、キャンターコースはオプションです）コースによって時間が決まっており選択の巾が少ないのが残念です。

Skydiving was a great experience. There was some issues with my reservation since some computers went down but it turned out all okay. Would definitely go again.

This 2 hour ride was awesome. Our guide was friendly and helpful. She really cared about the horses who were all very healthy and happy. Our guide gave us lots of information and even picked some fresh guava for us to eat. The setting was breathtaking. A real holdiay highlight.

We ended up not going on this trip. The pick up was scheduled for 6:30 at a hotel we were not staying at. After 15 minutes we called the company. Oh our driver was on his way. We called again after 7. Same response and no apologies. We called and canceled . The driver didn't show up until 7:40!!! We did get our money back.

It takes about an hour and a half by car from Kailua-Kona to the meeting point, and I arrived without getting lost thanks to the map. We took the shop's van down the steep slopes of Waipi'o Valley to reach the starting point for horseback riding. Along the course, we crossed rivers, saw several waterfalls, and observed wild plants and fruits growing along the side paths. The horses were calm, and I never felt in danger as we enjoyed a fun hour and a half. This is a highly recommended tour that takes you to places that are not easily accessible on foot.

カイルアコナから集合場所まで車で約1時間半、地図を頼りに迷うことなく到着。お店のバンでワイピオ渓谷の急坂を下り乗馬のスタート地点に到着。コースの途中では川を渡ったり、幾つかの滝を見たり、脇道に自生する植物や果物を見たりしながら進みます。馬も大人しく、危険を感じることもなくあっという間に楽しい1時間半ほどが過ぎてします。歩いては簡単に行けないところへ行けるお勧めのツアーです。

Skydiving was amazing! I was scared right up until the moment I jumped out of the plane, but once I was in the air, it was incredibly fun. The only regret I have is not spending the extra money to have the video recorded. You definitely should get the video!

スカイダイビング最高でした飛行機から落ちる瞬間までは怖かったですが飛び立てばめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。後悔したのはケチってビデオ撮影をお願いしなかったこと絶対にビデオとるべきです。

My entire family had a blast zip lining through the tree canopies! Chris and Cassie were our guides and they were hospitable, informative and patient. It was our first time zip lining in such an environment-hundreds of feet in the air and we felt completely comfortable and confident in their hands. They provided us with water and snacks midway and at the conclusion of our adventure, including freshly picked bananas! They shared knowledge about the vegetation and geographical landmarks, as well as, insight into local eateries! Not only did we enjoy the various zip lines, but there were also suspension bridges and a final rappel to the ground. You also get to ride in a really cool armory jeep of some sort as you travel to and from the excursion. It surpassed our expectations and we were so glad to have chosen that adventure during our travels on The Big Island.

The horses were really well trained, no skill was required to ride them. We had a couple of chances to canter, but due to the different skill levels of the riders, we only cantered for only a couple of minutes total. One lady lost her cellphone during the canter and we all had to stop while the guides looked for it in the tall grass. They weren't able to find it and we lost some time and further opportunities to canter. The views from our trail were amazing, and it was a great way to spend a morning. If we could've split up according to skill level so who wanted to go faster could, as there were 3 guides to about 6-8 riders, then I would've given it 5 stars.

The nature walk was just perfect. We were transported to the forest by a great big open truck with 6 wheels. It was to full capacity with 11 people on board plus our guide and driver, Noi. She was super experienced driving the truck (which didn't seem easy) and very knowledgeable about all that was around us in the forest. She went out of her way to make sure we all had captured the right pictures. The waterfall was super pretty and refreshing to swim in. The views were fantastic and the time went by super quickly.
I would definitely recommend this adventure to everyone who can easily walk for an hour or so straight.

This was one of the top highlights of our trip. The van ride into and out of the valley is an adventure all of it's own. The guides were just awesome. The family of one had lived in the valley for generations and he was very knowledgeable about the area. The other one was just a riot. The horses also had more spunk than your average trail horse, too. Some of them had been wild horses not too long ago. I don't know if these guys do a longer ride, but I would definitely sign up for it if they did.

Great outing. .first time off road. .the guides didn't skimp on the experience. ..very professional. .although we paid less I feel like I received a tour I will remember forever

I chose this place because they offered transportation. The pickup was at 7:45, so I arrived early at 7:30. As soon as I got to the pickup location, the shuttle van arrived and said, "Hurry up and get on!" I showed my voucher just in case, but I was glad I arrived early and was able to get on!

Next, after arriving at Keana Farm, when I showed my voucher at the reception counter, I was told there was a translation fee of $30. I thought, "Is this an additional charge?" and said NO, which made the staff look troubled. It turned out there was no additional fee, and when I showed my voucher at a different counter, I was checked in smoothly. At the reception, I was told, "After checking in on the iPad, please wait in the area with benches," so I used the restroom and left my luggage at the reception to wait. I waited for almost an hour. There was a monitor in the waiting area displaying my name and time. When the time approached, I would be fitted with the equipment. Since there was no announcement from the guide, I told a nearby guide, "I think I'm next," and a lovely guide responded in Japanese, saying, "I'm in charge of the Japanese guests." It was nice to have translation included in the plan. This guide also accompanied me during the zip line, which made me feel at ease. Since I was the only Japanese person there, I felt it was a luxury.

The zip line experience was very enjoyable. I would give it four stars. Sliding through the farm felt great, and I could see the ocean, mountains, and fields; it went by in no time. Although not fluent, the explanations in Japanese were very reassuring. I think anyone with enough stamina to walk up about three flights of stairs can enjoy it fully.

Basically, everything was in English from the transportation to the equipment fitting, and after the zip line, I was left on my own. The Japanese guide appeared when it was time to put on the equipment, and while we were saying how much fun we had at the end of the tour, they disappeared before I could even give a tip.

They took photos during the zip line, which you can purchase. I decided to buy the photos and paid on the spot. I was told that I would receive the data right away, but it didn't come. I thought it would be a problem if I had given the wrong email address when I purchased them, so I sent a message through the CLIMB Works website's contact form saying, "I bought the photos, but have they been sent?" However, I received no reply. Since I can't speak English, I thought calling would be futile, so I gave up. But a few days later, I received the photos! I was relieved! Initially, I would have given it one star, but I changed it to four stars.

送迎付きだったのでここを選びました。
まずピックアップが7:45だったのですが早めに行こうと7:30に到着しました。するとピックアップ場所到着してすぐ送迎のバンが来て「急いで乗って！」と。一応バウチャーを見せましたが、早く来て良かったよ！乗れて良かったよ！思いました。
次にケアナファーム到着後、受付カウンターでバウチャーを見せたらトランスレーション$30だと言われました。追加料金？と思いNOと言ったら困った顔をされました。やはり追加料金はなかったようで別のカウンターにバウチャーを見せたらすんなり受付されました。受付で「iPadでチェックインしたらベンチのあるところで待ってて」と言われ、トイレを済ませ荷物は受付に預けて待ちました。1時間弱くらい待ちました。待ってる場所にモニターがあり自分の名前と時間が表示されています。時間が近づいたら装備をつけてもらいます。ガイドさんから声かけは無かったので「私は次だと思う」と近くにいたガイドさんに言うと、別の可愛らしいガイドさんが「日本人担当です」と日本語で声をかけてくれました。プランに翻訳が込みなんですね。このガイドさんがジップラインも一緒にまわってくれたので安心でした。日本人は私だけだったので贅沢だなと思いました。
その後のジップラインはとても楽しかったです。星も☆☆☆☆です。農園の中を滑るのはとても気持ちが良く、海も山も畑も見えて、あっという間でした。流暢ではないですが日本語で説明してくれるのはとても安心でした。階段で歩いて3階くらいまで上れる体力があれば十分楽しめると思います。
基本すべて英語で送迎〜装備装着とジップライン終了後はほったらかしです。日本語ガイドさんは装備をつけてくれる時に現れてツアーが終わって楽しかった！とか言っている間にチップを渡す間もなくいなくなっていました。

ジップライン中に写真を撮ってくれて、その写真を購入できます。
写真購入を決め、その場で支払いました。データで貰えるという事で、すぐに送ると言われたのですが、送られて来ず、購入の際に伝えたメールアドレスを間違えていたら困ると思いCLIMB Worksのホームページのお問い合わせから「写真を買ったんだけど、送ってくれましたか？」とメッセージしましたが何の返信もありませんでした。わたしは英語が話せないので電話してもきっと会話にならないと思い諦めていましたが、その数日後に写真を送ってもらえました。良かったです！はじめは☆1でしたが☆4に変えました。
