Hawaii
We are from New York an during our vacation in Oahu we planned a day to do the zip lining and horseback riding. Unfortunately my husband got dehydrated and was very ill, therefore we could not go as planned. Please don't get sick because unless you plan to go the the ER and spend ~$500.00 to get a doctor note, your money will not be reimbursed to you!~
I always wanted to try skydiving. The weather wasn't great, and we waited for about three hours. I was really scared before jumping, but the feeling while the parachute was open was truly amazing. You can choose between having a photographer take pictures and having the instructor who jumps with you take photos. I asked the instructor, and I was very satisfied with the many pictures I received. It was over in a flash, but it was a great experience. I want to do it again.
1度はやってみたかった、スカイダイビング。
天気が良くなく、3時間程待ちました。
飛ぶ前が最高にこわかったけど、パラシュートが開くまでの間は本当に気持ちがよかったです。
写真と動画が、カメラマンにお願いするものと、一緒に飛ぶインストラクターが撮影するものと選べます。インストラクターにお願いしましたが、写真もたくさんで満足です。
あっという間だったけど、とてもいい体験ができました。また、やりたい。
I participated on Sunday, March 6, 2016. I was relieved that they arrived earlier than the pickup time. They were always late before... This time, I joined with my mother. There were two groups in total, including another couple. By chance, another person canceled suddenly, so it was just the four of us on the tour, which turned out to be really great. We always gathered before the meeting time, so the schedule progressed smoothly.
The guide, Nakama, provided detailed and careful guidance. It was very fulfilling. When we had a little extra time, they took us to a coffee farm for an irregular stop, where we took a short break. After that, we went on the main North Shore tour. At the new spot, Haleiwa Store Lots, I was able to buy the items I wanted and enjoyed Giovanni's Shrimp. The other couple had shrimp from a different wagon, but our guide, Nakama, kindly took us to Giovanni's, allowing us to make good use of our time there. Thank you very much! ^^
Because the timing was smooth and thanks to Nakama's consideration, we were able to enjoy a full circle around Oahu on the way back.
The couple who participated in the same tour was also very nice, and we had a great time. What I really felt during this tour was that the experience can vary greatly depending on the tour members... This time, the atmosphere was really warm, and I enjoyed it the most.
I would like to participate again if it’s like this. Thank you! ^^
2016年3月6日(日)に参加しました。
ピックアップ時間よりも早く来ていただき安心しました。
以前はいつも遅かったので・・。
今回は母と二人で参加致しました。
同じツアーには他に1組(二人)のカップルと計2組での参加でした。
たまたま、他の方が突然キャンセルになり、この4名でのツアーですが、これが本当によかったのです。常に集合時間前に集まるのでサクサクタイムスケジュールが進みます。
そしてガイドの仲間さんの丁寧な細かいご案内。
とっても充実してました。
時間が少しあると、イレギュラーにコーヒー農園に連れて行って下さり、
こちらで少し休憩。
その後メインのノース観光。新スポットのハレイワストアロッツでは希望の商品も購入し、
ジョバンニのシュリンプを食べました。
もう一組は別のワゴンでのシュリンプでしたが、
ガイドの仲間さんがジョバンニにまで送迎下さりここでも時間を有意義に利用出来ました。
ありがとうございました^^
時間がスムーズであったため、そして仲間さんのご配慮のおかげで、
帰りはオアフ1周で楽しめました。
同じツアー参加のカップルの方もとても感じが良いお二人で楽しかったです。
そして今回のツアーでつくづく感じたことは、
やはり同じツアーメンバーによって当たりハズレが激しいなと・・・
今回は本当にあったかい雰囲気で一番楽しめました。
またこのような感じでしたら参加したいです。
ありがとうございました^^
We participated as a family. During the second horseback riding session, I felt a bit more relaxed, and the 45 minutes flew by. My horse wandered off a few times and even charged into the bushes, but that was fun too. I wondered if I should have extended my trip to Macky's for the garlic shrimp in Haleiwa. The waves on the North Shore were truly amazing. Next time, I want to stay at Turtle Bay and play golf as well.
家族で参加しました。 2回目の乗馬は少し余裕もあり45分はあっという間に過ぎました。 私の馬は何回か道草をしブッシュの中へも突入しましたがそれも楽しかったです。 ハレイワのガーリックシュリンプはマッキーズまで足を延ばせばよかったかな。 ノースショアの波はやっぱりすごかった。 今度はタートルベイに泊まりゴルフもしたいと思いました。
Our tour driver Gus, was awesome we had a fantastic day. The road to Hana is beautiful 617 switchback turns however, it was worth every turn. Our driver Gus stopped at beautiful waterfall, fantastic road side eateries and bought us the most wonderful banana bread we have ever tasted. We highly recommend this tour.
We used this service with my siblings. The instructor was very kind and great. The Japanese staff also guided us while driving us back, which was very nice. However, please note that tips for the instructor (around $20 per person) and the driver (around $10 per person) are required on-site, so be prepared for that. It's a valuable experience, so I highly recommend it.
兄弟で利用しました。
インストラクターの人はとても親切で良いです。
日本人のスタッフの方も帰りの車の中でガイドしながら送ってくれたりなど、とても良いです。
ただ、現地でインストラクター(1人20$程度)とドライバー(1人10$程度)へのチップが必要になりますので準備が必要です。
貴重な体験になりますのでオススメです
I participated in this tour as a memory of my honeymoon. The bento and miso soup served during the journey were delicious, and the driver was kind and entertaining, which made me very excited about the tour. Since I usually don't go up to 4200 meters, I was a bit worried about altitude sickness, but I was able to challenge the summit after taking a sufficient break at the Onizuka Center.
Additionally, while this tour provides jackets for rent, I recommend that those who are sensitive to the cold bring extra layers. I had heard that the weather near the summit of Mauna Kea is stable and the air is clear, making for beautiful starry skies, but experiencing the crisp air and the stunning sunset view in person was overwhelming. It truly became a lifelong memory to visit such a place where you can physically feel nature.
I would like to express my gratitude to the tour staff for allowing me to spend such a wonderful time. Thank you very much.
新婚旅行の思い出として今回のツアーに参加させていただきました。
道中で配られたお弁当とお味噌汁もおいしく、ドライバーさんは親切で面白い方でしたので、とても楽しく、ツアーへの期待が高まりました。普段は4200mの高さまで行かないので 高山病にならないかが少し不安でしたが、オニズカセンターで充分休憩が取れたので、山頂に挑むことができました。
また、こちらのツアーでは上着を貸して頂けますが、寒がりの人はそれだけではなく追加で持参することをお勧めします。
マウナケア山山頂付近は天候が安定し、空気が澄んでいるため星空が綺麗だと伺っておりましたが、いざ実際に行ってみて、普段の生活の中では味わえないその澄んだ空気、素晴らしいサンセットの景色に圧倒されました。文字通り、自然を体で感じることのできる、そんな場所に行けたことは一生の思い出となりました。
このような素敵な時間を過ごせたことに、ツアーのスタッフの方々に改めて感謝いたします。ありがとうございました。
I attended with my daughter. The shuttle service to the hotel was very convenient and helpful.
It was my first time riding a horse, and I was a bit anxious, but the instructors at the ranch were very friendly and made me feel at ease. My horse, being at the back of a group of six, didn't listen to me very well, probably because it was a bit spoiled. Still, the weather was great, and the seaside views were amazing, allowing us to fully enjoy about 40 minutes of horseback riding.
I visited the North Shore for the first time in nearly 20 years and was surprised by the changes in Haleiwa. I also had time for shopping, which allowed me to enjoy some shave ice, and I was very satisfied.
娘と二人での参加でした。ホテルまでの送迎ありはとても楽でたすかりました。
私は乗馬は初めてで、少し不安はありましたが、牧場のインストラクターの方がとてもフレンドリーで安心できました。6人グループの最後尾だった私の馬が、なかなか言うことを聞いてくれなかったのは、たぶんなめられていたせいだと思いますが、それでもお天気にも恵まれ海辺の景色は最高で、40分ほどの乗馬を満喫しました。ノースショアは、ほぼ20年ぶりに訪れましたが、ハレイワの変貌に驚きショッピングタイムもとれたので、シェイブアイスも食べられて、満足しました。
The last main horseback riding experience, along with the other three tour plans, was incredibly satisfying and allowed us to fully enjoy Hawaii. The horseback riding, in particular, had a few cute little mishaps (like the horse continuously eating grass), but riding along the ocean view road while looking at the beautiful sea of North Shore was the best. I had never experienced such a long horseback ride before, so I felt quite fulfilled. If I had to wish for something, it would be for more free time at the Dole Plantation, as the only things we could do were buy souvenirs and eat. I was disappointed that I couldn't try the interesting pineapple maze.
The reason for the three-star rating is that, as mentioned in the title, the guide's attitude was poor from start to finish. I wondered if they were hungover because they were very unfriendly, creating a stark contrast with the excited customers. During the tour time of about 2 to 2.5 hours, the atmosphere in the vehicle was not very pleasant. When the guide explained the horseback riding, they mumbled, and I couldn't understand what they were saying, which left me feeling anxious and confused as we began the ride.
Since the only concern was the guide, I would like to request the same plan when I come with my family next time. Thank you. The photo is of the garlic shrimp I had during our free time at North Shore. The creamy shrimp had a unique texture that I had never experienced before, and it was very delicious—I highly recommend it.
最後のメイン乗馬はもちろんのこと、ほかの3つのツアープランもどれもハワイを満喫できるもので大満足です、特に乗馬は小さな可愛いハプニング(馬が草を食べ続ける)こともありますが、northshoreのきれいな海を見ながらのオーシャンビュー通りで乗馬できて最高でした、 乗馬自体あんなに長く乗れる体験はしたことないので、満足感はかなり得られました。 欲を言うならば、DOLE plantationでの自由時間が少なく、できることがお土産とご飯を食べれることだけしかなかったので自由時間が取れればいいなと臨みます、面白そうなパイナップル迷路ができなかったのが残念だったからです。
評価が3つなのは、タイトルに書いているようにガイドさんの態度が最初から最後まで悪かったからです。二日酔いなのかとても無愛想で、楽しみにしているお客さんとの温度差が激しく、 移動時間のツアー時間中の約2~2時間半、車内の雰囲気があまりよくなかったです。ガイドさんから乗馬の説明の際、もごもごしていて、何を言っているか理解できず、わけがわからない不安の状態のまま乗馬を始めたのが気がかりです。
気になり点はガイドさんだけだったので、次家族で来るときも同じプランをお願いしたいと思います、ありがとうございます。
写真はNorthshoreの自由行動の際食べたがガーリックシュリンプです、クリーム風のシュリンプは初めての触感でとってもおいしく、おすすめです。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
However, we sincerely apologize for any discomfort caused by the attitude of the guide.
We take your feedback seriously and will work with the operating company to further improve our services in the future.
Thank you for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

My group contained myself, sister and her husband. We choose the zip & Dip. We loved the zipline the weather was over casted and we enjoyed the views. All seven lines were fun. I think we all enjoyed going backwards. We would recommend the ziplines. However we did not enjoy the Secret Island. Not worth the money. Not enough time to enjoy everything offered need more SUP. Lunch was ok. We enjoyed the fresh pineapple and the chicken was good.
I participated in the Mauna Kea sunset and stargazing tour on February 29. I was picked up at 2:45 PM from the Marriott Waikoloa Resort where I was staying, and we departed with guests from nearby hotels. The guide provided explanations about the scenery and the history of the Big Island during the drive, making for a fun and friendly atmosphere in the vehicle. We made a stop to take photos near the layers of solidified lava, and then headed to the Onizuka Visitor Center. At the Onizuka Visitor Center, we enjoyed a bento, miso soup, and warm tea. I had started to get tired of American food, so the white rice and miso soup were greatly appreciated. After a little over an hour of rest, we headed to the summit. The temperature at the summit was about 8 degrees, which seemed unusually warm for winter, but it was still very cold for a long stay, so I recommend dressing warmly to enjoy the outdoors for a longer time. The sea of clouds spreading below the summit and the sunset sinking into the clouds were truly breathtaking. After the sun set, we moved to the stargazing point. Under a sky full of stars, the guide provided a detailed explanation of the stars, making it an enjoyable experience.
Since this was a completely personal trip, I visited Kilauea and Hilo by rental car, but I truly felt that participating in this tour was a great decision. To save energy during the trip and enjoy safely under a knowledgeable guide, I recommend joining this tour while arranging the rest of your activities independently.
Guide ★★★★★
I was entertained with their extensive knowledge.
Photos ★★★★★
The guide helped with the settings.
They took many photos along the way.
Bento ★★★
Good portion size, but the taste was more American-style.
2月29日のマウナケア夕日・星空ツアーに参加しました。14時45分に宿泊していたマリオットワイコロアリゾートに迎えに来て頂き、近隣ホテルの方と共に出発。ガイドさんが道中も景色の説明やハワイ島の歴史等をして下さり楽しく和気藹々とした車内でした。途中停車し、溶岩が流れ固まった地層付近で写真撮影をした後オニヅカビジターセンターへ。オニヅカビジターセンターでは、お弁当、おみそしる、暖かいお茶をいただきました。日々アメリカンフードで飽き始めていたため、白いご飯とおみそしるがありがたかったです。一時間少々休憩ののち、いざ山頂へ。この日は山頂の気温は8度程度と冬にしては異常な暖かさだったようですが、それでも長時間いるにはとても寒かったので、より長く外で楽しむためにも厚着をオススメします。山頂眼下に広がる雲海、雲海の中に沈んでゆく夕日、はとにかく圧巻でした。日が沈み星空観察ポイントへ。満点の星空のもと、ガイドさんが丁寧に星空解説をして楽しませて下さりました。
今回完全に個人旅行だったため、キラウェア、ヒロ等はレンタカーで行きましたが、このツアーは参加して本当に良かったと思いました。旅の疲れをセーブし、しっかりとしたガイドさんのもと安全にたのしむためにも、他は個人手配でもこちらのみツアー参加をオススメします。
ガイドさん★★★★★
豊富な知識で楽しませて頂きました。

I had a great time thanks to the polite guidance of the Japanese driver and their excellent time management. I felt reassured after receiving a lecture from the driver about horseback riding before we arrived at the ranch. I recommend this over the "Kualoa Ranch" I used previously. The driver also took various photos during the horseback riding with each person's camera, so I ended up with more riding photos than I expected.
For lunch, we were taken to a shrimp restaurant run by Japanese owners, which was delicious. We also got to see sea turtles on the beach, and the driver made a stop at a beach where a professional surfing competition was taking place, allowing me to see the big waves of the pipeline live for the first time. Overall, it was fantastic.
日本人の案内ドライバーさんの丁寧なガイドと適切な時間管理で、十分楽しめました。
乗馬については、牧場に着くまでにドライバーさんからレクチャーを受け安心しました。
以前に利用した「クアロア牧場」よりお勧めです。乗馬中の写真撮影もドライバーさんが各自のカメラで色々と撮影して頂いたので想定以上の乗馬写真が撮れました。
ランチについても、日本人経営のシュリンプのお店まで案内して頂きました、美味しかったです
ウミガメをビーチで見る事もできました、プロサーファーの大会が実施される大きな波が来るビーチにも途中立ち寄りして頂き、大波のパイプラインを生で初めて見ました。
とにかく良かったです。
It was truly a great experience! They picked me up at the hotel before 6 o'clock and dropped me off at the hotel around 11 o'clock!
本当にいい体験でした!
6時前にホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、
11時頃にはホテルに送っていただきました!
Due to health reasons, we suddenly switched from the snorkeling option tour to horseback riding for our family of four after arriving in Hawaii. The convenience of online booking is truly remarkable. We chose a two-hour course recommended in a Hawaii special on TV. After a brief 10-minute explanation using a Japanese video, we immediately started riding! At first, I was anxious due to the fast pace and the absence of a staff member holding the reins, which is common in Japan, but there was no need to worry as the horses were well-trained. You can guide them just by pulling the reins a little to prevent them from stopping to eat. The views of the mountains and ocean from horseback were fantastic, and the route included filming locations from Jurassic Park and Godzilla, so we were never bored. The trail wasn’t just flat; we also went through the woods and crossed streams, and my two daughters were very satisfied, even though they complained about sore bottoms. The instructor seemed to have learned Japanese as a second language, and although his Japanese was limited, he provided instructions in Japanese for key points, which was reassuring. The only complaint I have is that there was no pickup service from the Honolulu area for the course (which is only an issue for the dads who book). This is definitely a recommended tour that you can't easily experience in Japan.
体調の都合で、ハワイ到着後に急遽、シュノーケリングのオプションツアーから、家族4人で乗馬に切り替えました。インターネット予約の本当に便利なところ。TVのハワイ特集で勧めていた2時間コースをチョイス。日本語ビデオを使った10分ほどの説明の後、すぐに乗馬、出発!あまりのテンポの速さと、日本では必ず居るタズナを持つ従業員も居ないのでに最初は不安でしたが、馬がしっかり教育されているので心配無用。道草を食わないように(本当に馬が食べて止まってしまう)タズナを引っ張る程度で、進めることができます。馬上からの山、海の景色も素晴らしく、また、ジェラッシックパーク、ゴジラの撮影現場もルートに含まれているので飽きることはありません。また、平坦な道だけでなく、林の中や小川をわたることもあり、2人の娘たちもお尻が痛いと言いながら大満足でした。インストラクターの方は、第2外国として日本語を学んでいたようで、片言ですがポイントは日本語で指導してくれたので安心。コースにホノルル地区からの送迎付きがないのが唯一の不満かな(これは申し込むお父さんだけの問題)。日本では簡単に体験できない是非お勧めのツアーです。
Our tour guide josh was extremely friendly and personable. He seemed to know everything when it came to Maui and the environment in which we were hiking. The lunch was great and you couldn't beat the scenery! Would definitely refer a friend!!!
Unique and fun experience and the water was refreshing. The guides were a lot of fun and Chelsea gave great advise on local places to eat.
I experienced my first trip to Hawaii and my first skydiving adventure! Our group was the first to go, and everything went smoothly from the briefing to boarding the Cessna and jumping out, leaving no time to feel anxious (^^;) The first skydiving experience was amazing, and the instructor kept engaging with us, making it a lot of fun.
After we returned, the instructor handed us a small envelope for tips, which we were to fill out and drop into a separate box for the instructors. I also purchased the photo and video combo, but it seemed that we didn't reach the required altitude this time, so I received a discount of just over $30 from the total price. Payment could be made in cash or by credit card.
After waiting for about 40 minutes, we took the shuttle bus back to the hotel. However, it seemed that the group that followed us landed in a different location than expected, and their driver had to go pick them up, which delayed our return a bit.
When I read reviews before going, I had some concerns, but there were no significant issues from start to finish, and I had the best skydiving experience! I definitely think it's something everyone should try when they visit Hawaii. Highly recommended!
初ハワイ旅行で、初スカイダイビングを体験してきました!
私達のグループはトップバッターでしたが、説明されてセスナに乗ってから飛び降りるまでトントン拍子で、不安を感じる暇もありませんでした(^^;)
初めてのスカイダイビングは最高で、インストラクターの方も何度も声をかけて楽しませてくれました。
チップは帰ってきた後にインストラクターの方から小さな封筒を渡され、そこにチップを入れてインストラクター別のポストに投函するというかたちです。
また、私は写真とビデオのコンボを購入しましたが、今回は高度が足りなかったようで、代金から30ドル強の値引きがされていました。購入は現金・クレジット共にOKでした。
そこから40分ほど待機してからホテルへのシャトルバスに乗りましたが、私達の後のグループの方々が予想着地点でない場所に着地したようで、その方々の迎えに同様の運転手の方が行っていたので、それがなければもう少し早くに帰れていたと思います。
レビューを見た時には所々不安な点がありましたが、最初から最後まで特に悪い点はなく、最高のスカイダイビング体験が出来ました!
ハワイに来た際には是非一度体験するべきだと思います。オススメです。
I participated in a sunset and stargazing tour with my parents. Initially, I was considering a plan that included both the volcano and the stars, but I really didn't want to miss the sunset from the summit, so I chose this plan. (We drove to the red crater of Kilauea with a rental car.)
It turned out to be a great decision!
There were about two breaks on the way to the summit at approximately 4,200 meters, which was reassuring. We stopped at a photo spot, and both the guide's camera and our camera captured some great shots. Since it was my first time climbing a mountain over 4,000 meters, my parents, who are in their 60s, and I were a bit worried, but it was absolutely fine. It was indeed very cold at the summit, so the warm clothing, hats, and gloves that were provided were greatly appreciated. (Also, the cocoa we had at the rest stop was delicious...) The view from the summit was truly moving. Being above the clouds, I had never seen such a landscape before. The sunset was breathtaking! I kept taking photos over and over again (laughs). It was a moment when I thought, "I'm so glad I came to the Big Island." I highly recommend that everyone see it at least once.
At night, we moved to the stargazing point. The stars here were unlike anything I had ever seen before. I was amazed at how many stars were visible in the night sky! It was so moving! The guide's fun explanations and entertaining talk made the experience even more enjoyable. Additionally, I was surprised by the night sky photos. The pictures taken by the guide captured both the night sky and us beautifully; it was my first time seeing such photos. I also brought a mirrorless camera and learned techniques for photographing the night sky, allowing us to capture that beautiful sky with our own camera. (It also came in handy the next day at the red crater of the volcano! Yay☆) Thank you so much.
With the guide's humor and attentive care, both my parents and I were truly satisfied with this tour. I believe it was a wonderful experience to feel the essence of the Big Island.
両親と共にサンセットと星空観測ツアーに参加しました。
当初は火山と星空セットのプランにしようと思ったのですが、山頂でのサンセットはどうしても外したくなくて、こちらのプランにしました。(キラウエアの赤い火口はレンタカーで行きました。)
結果大正解でした!
約4200mの山頂までには休憩が2回ほどあり安心です。途中、写真スポットで停車していただき、ガイドさんのカメラと私たちのカメラの両方で撮影していただきました。
4000m級の山への登頂は初めてだったので、60過ぎの両親も私も少し心配しておりましたが、全然大丈夫でした。さすがに山頂はとてーも寒いので、貸していただける防寒着・帽子・手袋は大変ありがたかったです。(あと、途中の休憩所で飲んだココアが美味しかった…)
山頂での景色は本当に感動しました。山の上は雲よりも高く、あんな景色はいままでに見たことがありません。さらにサンセットが感動ものでした!何度も何度もシャッターをきってました(笑)ハワイ島に来て良かったな~と思った瞬間でした。ぜひ一度、見に行かれることをおすすめします。
夜になって星空観測ポイントまで移動。ここでの星空も今までに見たことがないくらい星を見ることができました。こんなに星が夜空には出ているのかー!とびっくりしました。感激です!ガイドさんの楽しい説明と関西仕込みのトークでとても盛り上がりました。さらに、夜空の写真も驚きました。ガイドさんに撮っていただいた写真は、夜空も私たちもすごくキレイに映っていて、初めての写真でした。また、一眼レフ(ミラーレス)を持参したのですが、夜空が撮影するテクを教えていただき、自分たちのカメラにもあの夜空を収めることができました。(翌日のボルケーノの赤い火口でも役に立ちましたよ~!わーい☆)本当にありがとうございました。
ガイドさんお面白さと、細やかなケアも含め、このツアーは参加し、両親共々本当に満足しています。ハワイ島を感じられるとてもいいツアーであったと思います。
My 2nd skydive experience was wonderful. We arrived on time for the morning group and we were suited, jumped and out of there by 10:30. Didn't take as long as the other reviews made it seem. Our plane stalled while in the air, but it added to the excitement. We had a wonderful time. Kai was my instructor and he was great.
I was worried about participating alone, but I had a great time even by myself. It was my first experience with horseback riding, but all the horses were well-trained, so I was able to enjoy it without any danger. The scenery was beautiful, and it offered a sense of relaxation that was different from Waikiki.
ひとり参加で不安に思っていましたが、一人でも十分に楽しめました。
乗馬は初めてでしたが、良く調教されている馬ばかりでしたので
危険なこともなく楽しめました。
景色がきれいでワイキキとは違い癒しを味わえました
My 7 and 11 year old had a great time on the zip line and Aqua ball. The Aqua ball is hysterical. Fun for the whole family!
Vroom, go, shoo... It's a feeling you won't understand until you try it. Unbelievable. It's super fun!
ビューん、ごーっ、シャーッ、ふわっー、ふわー、シュー…。やってみなきゃわからない感覚。ありえない。ちょー楽しいデース。
The morning pickup was on schedule. The participants included a couple from Alaska and another couple from America, making a total of six people. I noticed that there were overwhelmingly more male-female pairs in the kayaks, and we (two women) were lagging behind the other kayaks, struggling to catch up, which meant we missed out on hearing the guide's explanations during the kayaking.
I brought trekking shoes but ended up taking them off right from the start and paddling barefoot. After kayaking, we had to wade through a river about 10 meters wide, up to our thighs, to reach the trekking starting point.
They lend you a completely waterproof backpack, so there’s no worry about your belongings getting wet, but it is heavy during the trekking.
The trekking itself wasn't too steep, and we stopped here and there to listen to the guide's explanations, which were quite interesting, for about 40 minutes. (All six of us were moving at a similar pace, but probably a bit faster.)
At the waterfall, there were many people swimming, but even though it’s Hawaii, it was January, and that was unthinkable for us.
The lunch break was less than 30 minutes. After eating a wrap and drinking some juice, we set off again.
We walked and paddled again, and by 2 PM, we were back at the hotel. It was a tour that was dense in experience but not too intense.
朝のピックアップは予定どおり。参加者はほかにアラスカからとアメリカからのカップルで、計6名。気づけば、カヤックは男女ペアが圧倒的に多く、私たち(女2人)は他のカヤックより遅れがちで追いつくのに一所懸命で、カヤック中はガイドの説明が聞けず残念だった。
トレッキングシューズを持って行ったが、はじめから脱いで裸足で漕ぐハメに。カヤックのあとトレッキングの登り口まで幅10メートルぐらいの川を太ももまで浸かるのだった。
完全防水のリュックサック状のものを貸してくれるので荷物が濡れる心配はないが、これがトレッキングのとき重い。
トレッキングはさほど勾配もなく、ところどころ立ち止まってガイドの説明を興味深く聞きつつ、40分ほど歩いた。(6人とも同じくらいのペースだったが恐らくやや速め。)
目的地の滝では泳いでいる人もたくさんいたが、いくらハワイとはいえ1月、私たちには考えられなかった。
ランチ休憩は30分もない。ラップサンドを食べてジュースを飲んだら出発。
再び歩いて漕いで、14時にはホテルに着いていた。
密度が濃く、高くなくて良いツアー。
I have done many different tours in Hawaii, and no doubt Jasmine was the best tour guide I have ever had. The tour was perfect from the pick up until the drop-off.
I wasn't sure what to expect since this was my first time on the island but I'm glad I did it. I would never have been able to see this much in one day by myself. She safely drove us through windy and narrow roads and took us to places where large tour buses cannot go.
What a difference Jasmine makes. She is a local Maui girl who deeply loves what she does, she is very knowledgeable and shared interesting facts about Maui's history, culture, geology, ecology, industry etc.
This tour took me to many out of the beaten path places in Maui, giving me memory that will last a lifetime! If you are visiting Maui I highly recommend booking the West Maui Sightseeing Tour!
Wow, thank you for your beautiful review. I feel touched by the warmth of your words. I too had an awesome day. Thank you for such great company! Wishing you many more moments of joy, love and laughter together. Warmest aloha... Jasmine
Climbing Mount Fuji on your own feet is... but this tour allows you to ascend quickly in a four-wheel drive vehicle. The scenery is like another world. The stargazing lecture while watching the stars is also an experience you can't easily have.
富士山を自分の足で登るのは、、、でも、このツアーは4輪駆動車で一気に登れます。
景色も、別世界。星を眺めての星講座も、なかなか体験できないもの。
It was our first experience, and we didn't understand any English at all. We didn't know what was going on at the reception, but they showed us how to operate in Japanese, so we managed to check in somehow! We didn't understand the explanations at all, but we made it through. The staff were kind and friendly! There are no lockers, so it's best to go with minimal luggage! The drive was actually about 30 minutes. But it was fun! I want to participate again!
初めての体験で

The buggy ride was not difficult and was fun. For her, it seemed just right to do the one-hour course since she doesn't have much strength! It was raining, and we had to go by rental car, so it was a bit of a hassle?!
バギーは難しくなく、楽しかったです。
彼女的には、力がないから1時間コースで丁度良かったみたいです!
雨降りだったのと、レンタカーで行かなきゃけないので…チョット手間かな?!
My first horseback riding experience! It was fun! It was drizzling a bit, but...
The horse was bigger than I expected, which surprised me, but it was fine! Along the way, I received various guidance, and the garlic shrimp for lunch was delicious!
初の乗馬!楽しかったです!小雨でしたが...
思ったより馬は大きく、ビックリしましたが、大丈夫でした!
途中、イロイロ案内して頂きながら向かい、ランチのガーリックシュリンプが美味しかったですー!
I participated in the long-awaited sunset tour to celebrate my birthday on my honeymoon. The view was absolutely stunning!
First of all, the guide was incredibly kind. During the pick-up, they eased my nerves with small talk, and even though I was a bit anxious about my first trip to Hawaii, I felt the warmth of Japanese hospitality and was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind.
There were also five other people in our group, along with another couple, and thanks to the cheerful group, the ride was lively! At the summit, we took pictures together and exchanged travel tips, and it was great to be with such wonderful people.
We experienced some mild altitude sickness symptoms like headaches and tingling, but the breathtaking view at the summit overwhelmed us and made us forget all about it! The vast sea of clouds, the red volcanic land, and the bright red sunset were all sights that I believe cannot be experienced in Japan.
During the stargazing, I saw shooting stars three times! The guide's explanations with the laser pointer were easy to understand, and the stars that can’t be seen in Japan, along with the craters of the moon viewed through the telescope, were truly beautiful.
They even took photos for us for free, and I think it's a great deal that this is included in the tour price! Since it was my birthday, having everyone sing Happy Birthday under the starry sky is a memory I will cherish for a lifetime! Thank you so much!
新婚旅行で、自分の誕生日記念に念願のサンセットツアーに参加しました。もう、最高の景色でした!
まずガイドの方がとっても優しかったです。迎えの時も世間話で和ませてくださり、初めてのハワイにドキドキしていましたが日本のホスピタリティーを感じ安心して楽しめました(^-^)
他に5人のグループの方とカップルさんが一緒で、陽気なグループの方々のお陰で賑やかな車中となりました!山頂では一緒に写真を撮ったり旅の情報交換をしたりととてもいい方々と一緒で良かったです。
私達は頭痛やしびれなど軽い高山病のような症状がありましたが、山頂の壮大な景色に圧倒されそんなのを吹き飛ばすほどの絶景に感動しました!!広がる雲海、赤い火山大地、真っ赤な夕焼け。どれも日本では味わうことの出来ない景色だと思います。
星空観察では流れ星を3回見れました!レーザーポインターでのガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく、日本では見ることの出来ない星や、望遠鏡で見た月のクレーターは本当に美しかったです。
無料で写真も撮って下さり、これがツアー代金に含まれているなんてとってもお得だと思います!
誕生日ということもあり、星空の下、皆さんからハッピーバースデーを歌ってもらったことは一生の思い出です!ありがとうございました!
I participated in this diving tour. The pickup time was accurate, and we were able to return early, which allowed us to make effective use of our time.
The diving instructions were thorough, and the instructors were all kind and fun, making it a安心 experience. I had a thrilling and valuable experience, and the view from above was very beautiful; I definitely want to do it again! We even saw whales from the airplane☆
Thank you very much.
