All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I had a great time with Matt's guidance. The explanation of the starry sky was very detailed and easy to understand, and I appreciated all the thoughtful considerations, which made it very enjoyable. He was also skilled with the camera, so I think it will be a nice keepsake. I recommend it to Japanese travelers.

まっちゃんのガイドでとても楽しく過ごせました。
星空の説明はとても詳しくて、よく分かりましたし、いろいろと気遣いしてもらいとても楽しめました。カメラの使い方も上手で良い記念になると思います。
日本人にはお勧めします。

Drive from Hilton Waikoloa to the location.
Make sure to familiarize yourself with the route using Google Maps or similar services.
There is a shopping center at a midpoint where you can take a restroom break.
If you don’t get lost, you can arrive in about an hour.

It's okay if you can't speak English.
The only time you’ll need to communicate is when learning how to ride the horse, so gestures and simple phrases should be sufficient. (If you have some English skills, you might be spoken to during the ride or in the vehicle...)

The horses move slowly in a single file along well-maintained mountain paths.
They do not enter grassy areas or dense forests, so your clothes won’t get too dirty.
The order of the horses is determined by their rank within the group you ride with, so companions will likely be scattered.

As a note for riding, be careful when the horse drinks water or eats grass, as the reins may suddenly pull downwards.
Other than that, the horses are well-trained, and even elementary school students (3rd and 4th grade) managed just fine.

It seems that the kids enjoyed horseback riding more than shopping in Honolulu!

ヒルトンワイコロアからレンタカーで現地へ。
地図はグーグルマップなどでよく予習して行きましょう。
中間地点位にトイレ休憩出来るショッピングセンターがあります。
迷わなければ1時間位で到着できます。

英語は、出来なくても大丈夫。
会話が必要なのは、馬の乗り方を教わる時だけなので、ジェスチャーと片言で理解は出来るかと思います。(ある程度英語が出来ると、移動車内や乗馬時に話しかけられますが・・)

馬は、整備された山道をゆっくりと1列になって進みます。
草むらや密林には入らないので、心配するほど衣服も汚れません。
馬の順番は、乗った馬の群れの中での順位で決まるので、同行者はほぼバラバラになります。

乗馬時の注意事項としては、馬が水を飲んだり草を食べたりする時、手綱が急に下向きに引っ張られるので気をつけて下さい。
それ以外はよく訓練されているので、小学生(4年・3年)でも余裕でした。

やはり子供は、ホノルルで買い物よりも乗馬が楽しかったようです!。

First, once Veltra sells you something, they're done with you until they start pestering you for a review. The actual excursion was by Hike Hawaii. On the day of our trip, they called me at 6:30 AM to tell me that the kayak portion of our trip was cancelled due to high winds. We hadn't scheduled a kayak portion. So they called me at 6:30 AM because they don't have their crap together enough to know what their customers have signed up for. The excursion was basically a brief stroll through the woods, with a little fruit, a bottle of water, and a cookie provided. After paying hundreds of dollars for two of us, they actually cut the trip short and we got back 15 minutes ahead of schedule.

After that, Veltra has the nerve to send you email saying that they're expecting you're review. Not asking for one, just telling you how much they're looking forward to seeing it. There's no opt-out link for this, which I think actually violates certain standards. You have to jump through hoops to have your account removed, even though you never asked for an account to be set up in the first place.

They're pushy, presumptuous, and overpriced.

This review will never be seen because Veltra basically reserves the right to remove anything negative in their terms of use.

I'm not sure I can go to another zip line spot after experiencing Climb works zip tour. Amazing views, fun zips, great hosts/guides, a learning experience... definitely living up to the acronym that they use as their motto. Have already recommended to friends and family.

For my first time, it was an amazing experience! Brad helped me stay calm, but also kept me hyped for my jump. He also let me control the chute and go through some really fun twists and turns. Would definitely recommend pacific skydive and might even go again next time I go to hawaii.

Last summer, three generations participated: my parents, my husband and I, and our daughter (9 years old). Even after six months, looking at the photos we took together brings back emotions and fills me with warmth. My parents were also very happy.
Yamapi was a kind and knowledgeable guide, truly wonderful. I could feel his desire to make everyone who participated happy.

Even after returning to the hotel, we were so excited that we couldn't fall asleep right away, including our daughter.
This is the best memory from our trip to Maui.

昨年の夏、両親、私達夫婦と娘（９歳）の三世代で参加しました。半年たっても、皆で撮った写真を見ると感動がよみがえり、あたたかい気持ちになります。両親も喜んでいました。
ヤマピーさん、やさしくて物知りで、本当にすてきなガイドさんでした。参加した人に喜んでもらいたい、という気持ちが伝わってきました。

ホテルに戻っても興奮して、娘も含めてすぐには寝付けませんでした。
マウイ島旅行の一番の思い出です。

We had a such a great time on this 2 hour tour. I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to explore the ranch and see famous movies sets. Riding on those is sooooo much fun

I was anxious about participating alone, but since I was with the instructor when flying, I didn't feel lonely at all.

Overall, it was just amazing! You will definitely regret it if you don't try it!

一人参加で不安でしたが、飛ぶ時はインストラクターさんと二人ですから
寂しさを感じることもありませんでした。

とにかく最高！のひとこと。
やらなきゃ絶対後悔します！

The weather was great, and it took about an hour by rental car from Honolulu. They guided us on time for our 10:30 reservation. The horses were very well-behaved, and at first, I was worried about what would happen if they wandered off, but the guide assigned to our group skillfully led the horses, so there was no need to worry at all! The horses walked slowly, and we were completely satisfied after an hour of enjoying the mountains, sea, and forest. I gained a good understanding of the difficulty of riding. They also took photos of us riding, which were a bit pricey at $15, but I ended up buying them for the family as a keepsake. It was a very enjoyable experience. The hamburgers were delicious too!

天気にも恵まれ、ホノルルからレンタカーで約1時間。10時半からの予約で時間通りに案内してくれました。
お馬さん達はとってもお利口で、勝手にどこかに行ったらどうするんだろうと最初は不安でしたが、一グループに一人つく船頭の方が馬達を上手に導き全く心配なし！
お馬さんたちは、ゆっくりと歩き、山、海、森林を見ながら1時間で十分に満足でした。
乗馬で走ることの難しさが十分に理解できました。
乗馬した写真も撮ってくれていて、15＄と高めでしたが、やはり記念にと家族分買ってしまいました。
とても楽しい体験でした。ハンバーガーも美味しかったですよ。

I participated this time with two colleagues from my company. S-san, who guided us (I'll keep the name confidential just in case), provided really attentive service! They explained the highlights of each area clearly, and we had a great time! Thank you for your help at the garlic shrimp restaurant in Haleiwa until we placed our order.

On the way back, we were able to get off at Ala Moana Shopping Center if we wanted, which saved us time and was very appreciated since our stay was short.

The guidance was very thorough, so I recommend it for first-time visitors to Hawaii!☆

今回会社の同期と３人で参加させて頂きました。
案内して下さったSさん(念のためお名前は伏せさせて頂きます)がもうほんとにきめ細やかな対応をして下さって！！
各エリアの見どころなどもわかりやすくお話頂き、とても楽しめました！
ハレイワのガーリックシュリンプのお店ではオーダー時までヘルプ頂き、ありがとうございます。

帰りも希望があればということでアラモアナショッピングセンターで下車させて頂き、時間の節約が出来たのは滞在日数が短い我々にとっては有難かったです。

とても丁寧に案内して頂けるので、初ハワイの方にもオススメです☆

I participated in this during my honeymoon.
About five years ago, I fell in love with stargazing after seeing countless starry skies in Japan. I learned that the summit of Mauna Kea is known as "the closest place to space," and I had always wanted to go to the Big Island for my honeymoon.

During the drive to the Onizuka Visitor Center, the guide's stories were so interesting that I didn't sleep at all and kept laughing the whole time. I also learned a lot about the history of the Big Island and the animals that inhabit the mountain. Before I knew it, we arrived at the Onizuka Visitor Center and had an early dinner. The bento came with miso soup, and it was very delicious. I could feel the love in the guide's homemade miso soup.

After a break, we finally headed to the summit of Mauna Kea. From the car on the way up, I could already see the sea of clouds, and my excitement was building. I love starry skies, but I also love sunsets just as much, so it was thrilling for me to see the sea of clouds for the first time.

Upon arriving at the summit, I was greeted by a breathtaking view of the sea of clouds. The sun was setting, and the colors of the clouds were gradually changing; it was truly beautiful. The guide took many photos with our camera, so we ended up with lots of wonderful shots. Thank you!

After the sun set, we moved to the stargazing area. Unfortunately, the day of our visit was the day after the full moon, so the countless stars I had imagined were not as visible, and the sky wasn't as clear as I had hoped. I knew the moon would have an effect, but since this is the closest place to space, I had gotten my hopes up a bit too much. However, thanks to the moon, I was able to see a beautiful moon through the guide's telescope, and I was very happy to have captured it with my camera.
I was very satisfied to see the wonderful sea of clouds, sunset, moon, and starry sky. I would love to participate in a sunset or sunrise tour again someday to see the new moon's starry sky! Thank you!!!!!!!!

新婚旅行で参加しました。
５年程前に日本で無数の星空を見てから、天体観測にはまりました。
マウナケア山頂が「宇宙に最も近い場所」だと知り、新婚旅行でハワイ島へ行きたいとずっと思っていました。

オニヅカビジターセンターまでの行きの車内では、ガイドさんの話が面白くて、一睡もする事なく、ずっと笑っていました。
また、ハワイ島の歴史や山に生息する動物の説明など色々と勉強になりました。
気づいたら、オニヅカビジターセンターに着き、早めの夕食。お弁当はお味噌汁も付いていて、とても美味しかったです。
ガイドさんの手作りお味噌汁の愛情を感じました。

休憩後、いよいよマウナケア山頂へ。山頂へ行く車内から既に雲海が見え、テンションが上がっていました。
星空も好きですが、同じくらい夕日も好きなので、実際に雲海を見た事がなかった私にとって、とても興奮しました。

山頂到着後、見渡す限りの雲海。夕日が沈んでおり、雲海の色が徐々に変化していき、本当に綺麗でした。
ガイドさんが私達持参のカメラで何枚も写真を取ってくれたので、素敵なショットがいっぱい取れてました。ありがとうございます！

夕日も沈み、星空観賞エリアへ移動。ちょうど参加日が満月の次の日だったので、イメージしていた無数の星が散りばめられ、澄んだ星空ではなかったのが少し残念でした。月の影響があるのはわかってて参加したのですが、宇宙に最も近い場所なので、もう少し見えるかなぁと期待を膨らませ過ぎてしまいました。
ただ、月のお陰でガイドさんの天体望遠鏡から、とても綺麗な月を見る事ができ、月をレンズ越しに持参のカメラで撮って頂けた事がとても嬉しかったです。
素敵な雲海と夕日・月と星空を見れて、とても満足でした。
いつか新月の星空を見に、サンセットかサンライズツアーにまた参加したいです！
ありがとうございました！！！！！

This is a wonderful experience in HAWAII. My mum was very affair before. She thought the door off helicopter is not safe. But when she have try. She said it's a wonder time in her life.

Josh was an amazing pilot who made us feel so safe! Our 7 year old daughter loved every minute! We only did 20 minutes and that was definitely not enough! We will be back!

One of the reasons I decided to go to the Big Island was my desire to see the starry sky at Mauna Kea, so I was really looking forward to it. After participating, it was just as wonderful as I had hoped.

After being picked up at the hotel, we headed to the Onizuka Visitor Center in a 12-passenger van. It was enjoyable to hear our guide, Mr. Yamamoto, talk about the plants and animals that inhabit the Big Island, and we even encountered wild sheep and cows.

Upon arriving at the Onizuka Visitor Center, we took a break with a bento box and miso soup. Although it was an early dinner before sunset, the bento was luxurious, like a catered meal, and I was very satisfied.

Since the van was full, it felt cramped after putting on the borrowed warm clothing. However, once we reached the summit, the temperature was lower than I had imagined, and the warm clothing was much appreciated.

The observatory and the sea of clouds illuminated by the sunset at the summit were breathtaking! The sunset disappearing into the sea of clouds was nothing short of magical. After it got dark, I was able to gaze up at the starry sky, and it was incredibly moving. I was blessed with good weather and timing, and the starry sky without the moon was overwhelming. In the distance, I could faintly see the red glow of the Kilauea crater… I was able to feel the grandeur of nature.

It became a truly wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

ハワイ島に行くことにしたきっかけの一つが「マウナケアで星空が見たい！」という思いだったため、とても楽しみにしていました。実際に参加してみて、期待通り素晴らしかったです。

ホテルでピックアップしてもらった後、１２人乗りのバンでオニヅカビジターセンターに向かいました。ガイドの山本さんのハワイ島に生息する植物や動物のお話を聞きながら、実際に野生の羊や牛などに遭遇でき楽しかったです。

オニヅカビジターセンターに到着後、お弁当とお味噌汁で休憩。サンセット前ということでかなり早めの夕食でしたが、仕出し弁当のような豪華なお弁当で大満足でした。

バンは満席だったため、借りた防寒着を着て着ぶくれた後の車中は狭く感じました。ただ、山頂に上がってみると想像以上に気温は低く、防寒着はありがたかったです。

山頂で夕日に照らされる天文台や雲海は圧巻！
雲海に消えていく夕日は幻想的の一言に尽きます。
暗くなってからは、満天の星空を見上げることができて、とても感動しました。好天やタイミングに恵まれ、月がない星空の星明りに感無量。
遠くには、キラウェアの火口の赤い光もうっすら…！自然の壮大さを感じることができました。

大変いい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました！

The scenery was amazing.
I felt at ease participating because there were people who could speak Japanese.
After riding for two hours, my butt was a little sore, but it was really fun. This soreness is also a good memory.

景色サイコー
日本語話せる方がいて、安心して参加できました
2時間乗ったらおしりがちょっぴり痛いけど、とっても楽しかったです。この痛さもいい思い出です

The ride was beautiful.. The best way to know all the island..

Since it was my first time on the Big Island of Hawaii, I definitely wanted to see the sunset and the starry sky, so I found this tour and signed up immediately. During the drive, the guide shared various stories about the Big Island, and we arrived in no time. At the Onizuka Visitor Center, we enjoyed a bento box and miso soup. It was a bit disappointing that the miso soup was cold, but I was still happy to have it♪

As we headed to the summit, they provided us with warm clothing, including hats and gloves, so we could enjoy the sunset and the starry sky without feeling cold. The moment I got out of the car and saw so many stars that I had never seen before, I was truly moved! We took some photos, but the starry sky was so breathtaking that it couldn't be captured in pictures. I tried to imprint the view in my memory for as long as time allowed. I was so touched that I could have watched it forever!

On the Big Island, we visited various spots like Kilauea Volcano and Hapuna Beach, but the sunset and starry sky at Mauna Kea were the most impressive and became my favorite memory. So, if you go to the Big Island, I highly recommend participating in this tour! It's truly amazing☆

初めてのハワイ島だったので、絶対にサンセットと星空は見たいと思っていたところ、このツアーを見つけて即申込みました。
行きの車の中ではガイドさんがハワイ島の色々な話をしてくれてあっという間に到着しました。オニヅカビジターセンターではお弁当とみそ汁をいただきました。みそ汁が冷めていたのが少し残念でしたが、みそ汁は嬉しかったです♪
山頂に向かい、防寒具も帽子や手袋まで貸していただけたので寒さを感じずにサンセットから星空を観賞できました。車から降りて今まで見たことのないたくさんの星を見た瞬間、本当に感動しました！写真も撮っていただきましたが、写真では伝わらないほどの星空で時間が許す限り星空を目に焼きつけました。時間があればずっと見ていたいくらい本当に感動しました！
ハワイ島ではキラウェア火山やハプナビーチと色々なスポットに行きましたが、マウナケアのサンセットと星空が何よりも感動し、一番の思い出になりました。なので、ハワイ島に行ったらぜひ参加してみてください！本当にオススメです☆

It was a beautiful view as we flew with the sunrise. There were a few clouds, but it was worth waking up early. When we took off, we went one after another, so there was no time to be scared. Instead of feeling fear due to the height, it was more about the beauty, and I didn't feel scared at all. The instructors were friendly and made me feel at ease.

日の出と共に飛んで、すごくキレイな景色でした。
少し雲はかかってましたが、朝早くから起きたかいがありました。
飛び出す時は次々と出て行くので怖がってる間もなく、あまりの高で怖いというより綺麗で恐怖は感じませんでした。インストラクターの人たちも気さくで安心できました。

The day I participated was the day before the new moon, so there was no moonlight, allowing us to see a truly spectacular starry sky. It was great to see the long-lived stars that you can't see in Japan. The explanation of the constellations was fun and entertaining, as they used a laser pointer to illustrate them. I would like to join the sunrise tour next time.

参加した日は新月の前日ということで月あかりもなくまさに降るような星空を見ることが出きました。日本では見ることのできない長寿の星も見れたのは良かったです。
星座の説明もレーザーポインターを使いながら面白おかしく説明してくれるので楽しかったです。次回は朝日のツアーに参加したいです。

The beauty of the orange sunset sinking into the white sea of clouds left me with a thrilling emotion, as the hazy view cleared up refreshingly in the thin air. Despite the strong light of the waning moon, I was captivated by the amusing and lively chatter of the guide, who shared stories about the faintly visible Milky Way and various constellations. I forgot the cold, and my childlike spirit was revived. It was a wonderful trip.

白い雲海に沈む夕陽のオレンジの美しさは、薄い空気でぼうっとしていた視界が一気に晴れた爽やかさと共に、心が震える感動を残してくれました。
下弦の月の強い光にも負けず、うっすらと見えた天の川や数々の星座にまつわる物語を語るガイドの方の可笑しく軽快なおしゃべりに聞き入ると、寒さも忘れて、童心が蘇って来ました。
良い旅になりました。

I participated in both the sunrise and sunset tours. I thought I might be a bit greedy, but it turned out to be the right decision. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed the wonderful scenery. While it's common for the sun to rise and set, I was surprisingly moved to the point of almost tears, realizing how extraordinary something so ordinary can be.

I remembered a line from a picture book I read as a child: "The sun is always watching over you." It felt as if the sun was truly saying that to me. When the sun rises, it feels like it's saying, "Alright, go on your new adventure today," filling me with excitement and energy for the day ahead. When it sets, it feels like it's saying, "That's enough for today. This is good," allowing me to acknowledge both the good and the bad of the day with a gentle heart.

I've encountered views that made me feel small before, but this was the first time I felt that while also gaining the strength to strive harder. I felt empowered to do my best.

The reason I felt this way wasn't just because the scenery was amazing, but also because our guide, who truly loves the Big Island, treated us so well. Thanks to the guide's charm, my memories of Mauna Kea became truly wonderful. I hope that many more people will come to appreciate the beauty of the Big Island. Thank you very much.

サンライズとサンセット両方のツアーに参加しました。少し欲張りすぎかなと思いましたが、欲張って正解でした。お天気にも恵まれ素晴らしい景色を堪能しました。太陽が登り沈むことは当たりのことだけれど、当たり前のことがこんなに素晴らしいものかと、不思議と涙が出そうなほど感動しました。
「おてんとうさまはどんな時もあなたを見ているのよ。」子供の時に読んだ絵本の台詞を思い出し、本当におてんとうさまにそんな風に言われた気がしました。
太陽が登る時は、「さあ今日も新しい冒険に行ってらっしゃい」と言われているようで、これから始まる１日にわくわくするような活力が湧いてきて、
沈む時は、「今日はここまで。これでよし。」と言われているようで、その日１日の良かったところも悪かったところも認めてあげることができるような優しい気持ちになりました。

自分がちっぽけに思える景色は他にも出会ったことがありますが、自分を小さく感じるのと同時に、もっと頑張れる。頑張るんだ。と思える力が湧いてきたのは初めてです。

こんな風に感じられたのは、ただ景色が素晴らしかったからではなく、ハワイ島が大好きというガイドさんが本当に良くして下さったということもあると思います。ガイドさんの魅力も手伝って、マウナケアの思い出がとても素晴らしいものになりました。
これからもたくさんの人にハワイ島の魅力が伝わることを願っています。
本当にありがとうございました。

We were blessed with great weather and hardly any wind, making it a wonderful day. The journey to the Onizuka Visitor Center was enjoyable, as we stopped by lava plateaus and learned about various plants and creatures. I gained a lot of valuable knowledge that I wouldn't have known just by driving a rental car myself. The bento and miso soup were even more delicious than I expected. Although it was cold during the stargazing, I was very grateful for the warm tea and cookies provided by the staff. We were able to see shooting stars multiple times, which was truly moving. Honestly, I thought the price was high, but I'm really glad I participated.

お天気にも恵まれ、風もほとんどなくすばらしい一日でした。
オニヅカビジターセンターまでの道のりも、溶岩台地に立ち寄ったり植物や生き物の
お話など、楽しく過ごせました。自分でレンタカーで走るだけだと知らないことを、たくさん
教えていただき、有意義でした。
お弁当やおみそ汁も期待以上に美味しかったです。寒い中での星空観測のでしたが、温かい
紅茶やクッキーを用意していただき、スタッフの方のお気づかいもとてもうれしかったです。
流れ星も何度も見られ、感動の連続でした。
正直、お値段が高いと思っていましたが、参加して本当によかったと思っています。

The drive from the hotel to the Onizuka Visitor Center took about an hour, and it was very enjoyable to hear stories about the plants and animals that inhabit the Big Island of Hawaii. I felt the staff's attentiveness throughout the journey.

Along the way, we stopped to take pictures of the lava fields, making the trip to our destination quite fun. The lunch box and miso soup we had upon arriving at the Onizuka Visitor Center were delicious.

Regarding the restrooms, I think it's good to follow the instructions about their locations and timing (the staff provides appropriate advice).

At the summit, we were fortunate to have clear weather with no wind, resulting in a wonderful sunset. I was actually worried about my child (13 years old) who wasn't feeling well, but the guide's care and the oxygen bottle they brought along were very helpful. I really appreciated their support. It was my first experience using oxygen!

Even though it was cold during the sunset and stargazing, we were warm thanks to the provided clothing (it seemed that some participants from other tours did not have pants available for borrowing), which made it comfortable.

During the stargazing, the guide's explanations were thorough, easy to understand, and enjoyable. I was also delighted by the warm tea and cookies! We saw shooting stars multiple times during the star explanations, making it an emotional and memorable tour. I'm really glad I participated.

ホテルのピックアップからオニズカビジターセンターまで１時間くらいのドライブ中も、ハワイ島に生息する植物や動物のお話もとても楽しく、スタッフの方のお気づかいを感じました。
途中、溶岩台地も車から降りて撮影したり、到着までも十分楽しく過ごせました。
オニズカビジターセンター到着後にいただいたお弁当とおみそ汁も美味しかったです。
トイレについては、場所やタイミングも説明どおりに行っておくといいと思います。（適切にアドバイスしてくださいます）
山頂でも風もなくお天気に恵まれ、すばらしいサンセットでした。実は同行した子供（１３歳）が体調がすぐれず心配でしたが、ガイドさんのケアや持参されていた酸素ボトルも使わせていただいたりしました。大変お世話になりました。酸素吸引も初体験でした！！
寒い中でのサンセット＆星空観測でしたが、用意されてあったウエアのおかげで温かく（他のツアーの方はズボンの貸し出しがない方もいたようです）快適に過ごせました。
星空観測では、ガイドさんのお話も丁寧で分かりやすく楽しかったです。温かい紅茶やクッキーも嬉しかった！　星の説明の途中も何度も流れ星が見られて、感動がいっぱいのツアーでした。参加して本当によかったです。

- We gathered on-site and went by rental car.
- One hour was enough to enjoy it.
- The filming location of Jurassic Park was truly impressive.
- Due to safety, speed and driving methods were restricted, so there wasn't much freedom.

・現地集合、レンタカーでいきました
・時間は１時間で十分楽しめました
・ジュラシックパークのロケ地はさすがに圧巻でした
・安全から速度や走法は制限され、あまり自由はありません

I participated in a tour led by Mr. Matsuzaki on January 16, 2016. To put it simply, it was "the best." I don't think I've ever experienced a tour that was this enjoyable. The guide's humorous explanations and guidance made it a memorable experience, and I would love to participate again. This time it was a crescent moon, which was a bit bright, but next time I would like to join during the new moon, guided by Mr. Matsuzaki.

2016年1月16日にMatsuzakiさんによるツアーに参加しました。結論から言いますと”最高”でした。今回ほど楽しく過ごすことが出来たツアーは経験がないのではないでしょうか。ガイドさんのユーモアを交えた説明や案内、何度でも参加したいと思います。今回は三日月で少し明るかったですが、次回は新月の時に参加したいと思います、Matsuzakiさんのガイドで。

I was able to experience skydiving, which I had wanted to try, at a quite reasonable price, and it became a wonderful memory. Since it's a group activity, the waiting time to jump and the time spent waiting for others to finish jumping can be quite long. I think it's better to plan on spending half a day for this experience.

やってみたかったスカイダイビングが結構安く体験できて、とてもいい思い出になりました。団体行動なので、飛ぶのを待つ時間やほかの方が飛び終わるのを待つ時間がとても長いです。半日はつぶれると考えて行動したほうがいいと思います。

I have traveled to Maui several times and really like it. This time, I participated in the highly-rated tour by Yamapi, which I had been curious about for a long time, and I can't help but wonder why I didn't join sooner! It was a wonderful tour. The sunset and starry sky were beautiful, of course, but what stood out the most was Yamapi's thoughtfulness. He provided various forms of entertainment and truly prioritized the participants. Since I attended with my elderly mother, having blankets and chairs while watching the stars was a great help. I only have memories of being cold during a star tour I took on the Big Island in the past, where there were no blankets, chairs, or warm drinks, but this time was completely different and turned into a fun memory! I also appreciated that we had frequent bathroom breaks. I'm glad my mother enjoyed it too! If I have the opportunity, I would like to join Yamapi's other tours as well. Thank you very much!

マウイ島は気に入って何度か旅行しています。
以前からずっと気になっていた評判の良いヤマピーさんのツアーに今回参加して、何故もっと早く参加しなかったんだろう！と思えるぐらい素晴らしいツアーでした。サンセット・星空が綺麗なのはもちろん、ヤマピーさんの心遣いがとにかく素晴らしかった。色々と楽しませてくれ、ツアー参加者の事を第一に考えてる内容だと思いました。高齢の母と参加したので星空を見る際に毛布とイスがあったのは助かりました。昔にハワイ島で星空のツアーに参加した時は毛布・イス・温かい飲み物はなく寒かった記憶しかなかったのですが今回は全然違い楽しい思い出となりました！お手洗いをこまめに取ってくれた事も有難かったです。母も楽しんでくれたようで良かったです！また機会があればヤマピーさんの他のツアーも参加してみたいです☆ありがとうございました！

I didn't reach a speed that could be called a sprint, but I was very satisfied.

We run deep into Kualoa Ranch, crossing a small stream along the way, climbing slopes, and navigating bumpy paths made of stones.

Additionally, we stop at filming locations, allowing us to fully enjoy Kualoa Ranch.

疾走というほどのスピードは出ませんが、大変満足でした。

クアロアランチの奥まで走るのですが、途中で小川を渡り、斜面を登り、石でガタガタの道を走ります。

また、ロケ地にも停まって撮影させてくれるので、クアロアランチを満喫できます。

We participated in a company trip with a group of six. The guide was a nice guy who spoke fluent Japanese and had an entertaining way of talking. During the journey to Mauna Kea, he frequently scheduled breaks and time for commemorative photos. He took pictures of each group with a good camera and provided a service where the photos would later be available for download on a blog.

The bento we had during the break was unexpectedly Japanese food. It wasn't extremely delicious, but eating together at a picnic table in the great nature of Hawaii made it taste much better.

As we climbed to the summit, the air became thinner and the temperature dropped, making me worry about altitude sickness, but I was fine. I heard that if you fall asleep in the car after reaching a high altitude, the risk of altitude sickness increases... It was tough to fight off the drowsiness.

The sea of clouds and sunset from the summit were very beautiful! To be able to drive up a mountain higher than Mount Fuji and see such a wonderful view was a great memory. The starry sky on the day we participated had strong moonlight, making it a bit difficult to see the stars. Still, with the guide's rich knowledge of constellations, we enjoyed it thoroughly.

While some people might go by rental car, the roads near the summit are quite rough. I think it was a good decision to leave it to the experienced guide for a safe and enjoyable tour. Thank you, Sue!

社員旅行６名グループで参加させていただきました。
ガイドさんは日本語ぺらぺらでトークもおもしろいナイスガイ。
マウナケアまでの道中も度々休憩と記念撮影用に時間を設けてくれます。ガイドさんは良いカメラでグループ毎に写真を撮ってくれるし、後にダウンロード可能な状態でブログに掲載してくれるというサービス付きです。
休憩時にいただいたお弁当は何故か日本食でした。すごく美味しい！というものではありませんでしたが(笑)、ハワイの大自然の中ピクニックテーブルでみんなで食べているというマジックでとても美味しく感じました。

山頂に登るに連れ、空気が薄くなり気温も下がり、高山病にならないか心配でしたが、大丈夫でした。標高が高くなって以降に車内で寝てしまうと高山病のリスクが高まるらしいです…その眠気と闘うことが大変でした。
山頂から見る雲海、夕陽はとても綺麗です！
富士山より高い山に車でラクラクと登り、素晴らしい景色を観ることができるなんて！とても良い思い出になりました。
星空は我々が参加した日は月明かりの強い日で、少し星が見えづらい様子。それでも、星座の知識豊富なガイドさんの説明もあり、十分楽しめました。
レンタカーで自力で行く人もいるようですが、山頂付近はかなりの悪路です。経験豊富なガイドさんにお任せして、安全に楽しく観光できよかったと思います。
スーさん、ありがとう！

There was a phrase in the driver's long story to the flight destination that perfectly captured this experience. I quoted it on social media:
"It feels like my whole body is boiling with blood."
Is this a Stephen King moment or what?

フライト地までの運転手の長い話の中に、まさにこの体験のこの表現しかない言葉がありました。SNS系で引用しました。
「全身の血が沸騰する感じ」
スティーブン キングかよ
