I don't think you can ride horses in such a free manner in Japan. I was a bit anxious at first with just a brief lecture, but I managed to be okay. However, the guide at the front kept explaining everything in English, and I couldn't understand what she was saying at all, so I had no idea about the precautions. Therefore, I regret to say that I just enjoyed it as background music the whole time.
日本ではあんな野放し状態で馬に乗せてもらえることなんてないと思います。
最初にほんの少しのレクチャーのみで不安でしたがなんとか大丈夫でした。
ただ、先頭をいく案内係のおばちゃんがずっと英語で説明をしながらいってくれるのですが、何を喋っているのかさっぱり分からず、注意事項もさっぱりわからずでした。
なので、失礼ながらBGM感覚でずっと行かせてもらいました。

I am so glad I decided to take this tour! We had taken the Road to Hana on our own 4 years ago. The experience was such that I felt the need to come back, but this time by means of a tour guide that would tell us the background of all the wonders we got to see and experience back then. This stretch of the island of Maui is so rich in history. Turns out I was right. Thanks to our tour guide/driver, Larry. He made this experience all the more magical. I am a history enthusiast. Larry touched on every aspect of this journey. From the vegetation's different species (origin, current and past uses, etc.), rock formations, the incredible waterfalls and grottos, to the towns people of present and past. Oh, and the beaches, breathtaking. I loved soaking my feet at Blacksand beach. Wish we could of stayed there longer. I appreciated our stop at the local's farmers market. Got to sample a taste of the locals organic fruits, banana bread, fruit jams and honey. I was able to purchase of everything I sampled. This is definitely a tradition for my family. When in Maui...Tour Guided Road to Hana Highway Adventure is a must. These drivers are experts, I will leave the driving to them! While I sit back and enjoy the trip.

It was a tour where I felt the best hospitality from the pickup at the hotel to the very end. Our guide, Yamapi, came to greet us, and I was so impressed, thinking, "Oh, I've seen this person on TV!" He was very good at talking, friendly, and above all, I felt his heartfelt hospitality for us. The choice of music in the vehicle, his wealth of knowledge in conversation, it was a wonderful tour until the very end. I will participate again! The Krispy Kreme donuts I uploaded in the photo are not available in Japan. I appreciate the attention to detail in such things.
ホテルへのピックアップから最後まで、細かいところまで最高のおもてなしを感じるツアーでした。
ガイドのヤマピーさんがお迎えに来て下さり「あ。テレビで見たことある~!この方!!」って感動。とってもお話上手、フレンドリー、何よりも私たちの為に真心感じるおもてなし。社内の音楽のチョイス、知識豊富なトーク、最後まですばらしいツアーでした。

Awesome tour . Very scenic drive . Our tour guide was Charles, he knew everything about all the places we went through right after we started from hotel until back . He knew exactly where to stop or slow down to take awesome pics or view the beauty of Hana . 5 on 5 for this beautiful tour and knowledgable guide.. I took 1 star for the lunch provided . Breakfast was light fruits and rolls and being on entire day trip, we were expecting a better lunch . Besides salad , steamed rice and watermelon, there was chicken and being vegetarian this did not feel like lunch . We got a veg taco plate when asked about the veg option, which was equally bad and cold
Apart from this I would say this is a must do if in Muai to see actual nature ..

During my six-day trip to Hawaii, I participated in many tours, but this was definitely the No. 1 tour.
The vibrant sunset visible from the summit of Haleakalā and the 180-degree view of the starry sky were the most beautiful I've ever seen in my life.
Not only the scenery, but also Mr. Yamauchi's stories reminded me of a pure heart.
Even after returning home, I want to occasionally look up at the night sky and remember the starry sky of Maui and Mr. Yamauchi's stories.
I will come again!
今回、6日間のハワイ旅行でたくさんのツアーに参加しましたが、間違いなくNo.1のツアーです。
ハレアカラ山頂から見える色鮮やかなサンセット、180度見渡せる星空、ともに今までの人生の中で一番綺麗でした。
景色だけでなく、山内さんのお話で、純粋な心を思い出しました。
帰国後も、たまには夜空を見上げて、マウイ島の星空&山内さんのお話を思い出したいと思います。
また来ます!
Thank you for participating in the tour. We will continue to strive for memorable experiences! If you ever face any challenges, please do visit Maui again. I look forward to our reunion.

This was my second time horseback riding in Hawaii. The first time, I participated in a local tour at Kualoa Ranch. This time, I was drawn to the seaside course and set off to the ranch by rental car. However, there was no sign at the entrance of the ranch, and after entering a couple of other properties and being told it was the wrong place, it took quite a while to finally arrive. When we got there, there were only four of us as guests, and both the staff and the horses were relaxed. Time to ride! It was written that the riding session would last 45 minutes, but it seemed like we walked slowly. On the sandy beach, locals were enjoying barbecues and sunbathing while listening to music. The horses were quite greedy, lowering their heads to eat grass, which made me a bit nervous, but it was a lot of fun. After horseback riding, we went swimming nearby, and it felt like a private beach. Thank you, Adriana!
ハワイでの乗馬は二回目です。1度目はクアロア牧場の現地ツアーに参加しました。今回は海辺のコースに惹かれてレンタカーで牧場までいざ出発しました。・・・が、牧場の入り口に看板らしきものがなく、2か所ほど他の敷地内へ入っては違うと言われ、たどり着くまで結構な時間がかかりました。着いてみると、客は私たち4人のみで、スタッフも馬ものんびり。いざ乗馬!乗馬の時間は45分と書いてありましたが、ゆっくり歩いていただいたようでした。砂浜の海辺は現地の人たちが音楽を聴きながらバーベキューや日光浴をしていました。馬たちは食いしん坊で草を食べる度に頭を下げるのでヒヤヒヤしましたが、とても楽しかったです。乗馬の後は牧場の近くで海水浴をしましたが、まるでプライベートビーチみたいでした。アドリアーナさんありがとう!

I signed up for a honeymoon. I had researched the temperature in advance, so I brought my Uniqlo Ultra Light Down and fleece. This tour provides jackets suitable for skiing, which is a big help, but I recommend that those who are sensitive to the cold bring their own, like I did. The scenery is absolutely wonderful. The sight of the sunset reflecting on the sea of clouds and the starry sky are unique to this kind of tour.
ハネムーンにて申し込みしました。事前に気温について調べていたので、ユニクロのウルトラライトダウンとフリースを持参。こちらのツアーはスキー用のような上着を貸して頂けて大半助かりますが、寒がりの人はそれだけではなく私のように持参することをお勧めします。景色は素晴らしいにつきます。サンセットが雲海に映る光景も、満天の星空も、こうしたツアーならではです。

Overall it was a very fun trip. However the trip time wise is a little too long. The food wise too need a little improvement. It was only a little rice and bbq chicken. This trip include a simple breakfast too, but don't expect a continental breakfast. It's just coffee fruits and croissant. Thank you Steve our driver and our guide for the informative trip and the scenery is exceptionally beautiful. You will never get to view all the scenery spots if you didn't attend this trip. We went to see a few water falls, it was absolutely beautiful, however we weren't able to swim in the pools as they were closed on that day. We went to black sand beach also, the sands are black, it's really cool... We took awesome lots of picture, it's definitely a memory that you will never forget. Advise to not go to the trip if you're tiered or sick cuz it's a energy consuming trip. Overall you will have fun.

On November 12, I participated in a sunset and stargazing tour. After arriving on the Big Island, I was worried about whether I would be able to see the sunset and the stars due to the clouds, but the person at the UCC Coffee Farm I visited in the morning told me that this is typical for the Big Island. It’s sunny in the morning and clouds come in the afternoon, bringing rain. Speaking of which, a rainbow appeared right after I arrived on the Big Island. The sunset and stargazing depend on luck... The guide who picked me and my daughter up from the hotel was a young boy named Ha-kun. However, during the 30-minute drive to the next hotel, he talked to us about the Big Island and the scenery we could see, keeping us entertained until the end of the tour when we got out of the car.
I had never been at such a high altitude of 4,200 meters, so I was concerned about my physical condition, but that worry was unnecessary. We had plenty of time to rest at the Onizuka Visitor Center, allowing us to challenge the summit. The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds was incredibly moving. Initially, there were many clouds during the stargazing, and I couldn't see the Milky Way clearly, but within a few minutes, the clouds cleared, revealing a breathtaking starry sky that I had never seen before. Of course, the Milky Way was also clearly visible. The explanations about the stars and constellations were excellent.
I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting the Big Island! It’s perfect for refreshing both your mind and body!
11月12日 夕日と星空観測ツアーに参加しました。 ハワイ島へ着いてから雲が多くて 夕日も星空も見えるのか心配でしたが、午前中に行ったUCC コーヒー・農園の人にハワイ島はいつもこんな感じです。 午前は晴れて 午後は雲が出てきて雨が降る。そう言えばハワイ島に着いてすぐ 虹が出てました。 夕日も星空も運次第って・・・ ホテルに迎えに来てくれたガイドはyoungboyの 葉くんでした。でも次のホテルまで30分ほど私と娘にハワイ島の説明やら見える景色を色々話をしてくれて 話上手はツアー最後 車を降りるまで飽きさせない 葉くんでした。
4200mの高さまで行ったことがなかったので 体調が不安でしたが それも心配無用でした。オニズカビジターセンターで充分休憩が取れて 山頂に挑むことができました。 雲海に沈む夕日は超感動的でした。 その後の星空も最初は雲が多くて 天の川がきれいに見られなかったけど 数分で雲がなくなり 見たことがない星空がこれまた感動的でした。 もちろん天の川もはっきり見えました。星や星座の説明も最高でした。

I'm sorry for the late post, but on October 30, I participated in the sunset and stargazing tour! Since I was traveling alone, I was a bit nervous, but thanks to our guide, Macchan, I had an amazing time! We joined up with the group led by Konnchan, and off we went! The bento we had along the way and the cocoa were incredibly delicious (-´∀`-).
The sunset was so mystical! Gradually, the surroundings changed from sunset colors to darkness... I will never forget that view! And then, the starlit sky!! It was absolutely incredible! Macchan provided a fun explanation of the constellations♪
What I really liked about this tour was how kind both Macchan and Konnchan were! I wasn't able to use my DSLR well at all, but they helped with all the detailed settings for everyone’s cameras and took lots of photos for us (´。✪ω✪。`).
I highly recommend this tour to anyone going to the Big Island! In fact, I want more people to experience this sunset and stargazing! Everyone should definitely go to the Big Island!! It would be a waste to die without seeing such a wonderful view!! Thank you so much, Macchan and Konnchan (-´∀`-).

Dear Yacchan and TOMOKO,
This is Tomoe from Nature School. The summit of Mauna Kea has a clear sky rate of over 90% (since we go above the clouds), but it can be quite thrilling until you reach the top. The view at the summit is different every day, so I believe your sunset and starry sky experience was probably amazing. I'm glad to hear that.

I participated in the tour at Kualoa Ranch for the first time. Upon arrival, I was moved by the beauty of the mountains! Since I printed the voucher from Veltra, the check-in process went smoothly.
On the bus ride to the zipline starting point, we passed beautiful scenic spots and filming locations from Jurassic Park.
At the starting point, there are free lockers and restrooms, so it's a good idea to take care of that before putting on the harness. The tour was conducted entirely in English, and we were the only Japanese participants. The guides were all very friendly, making it easy to ask questions if anything was unclear.
You do walk a bit in the mountains after putting on the harness, which can be a little tiring, but it was enjoyable. There are a total of seven ziplines. It's not too scary, so as long as you're not afraid of heights, you'll be fine. It was very refreshing, the views were beautiful, and it was a great experience!
There was a shower along the way, but it was generally hot. However, there are a lot of mosquitoes, so long pants are recommended. Most of the other tour participants wore shorts, so shorts are also okay. There are water stations along the way, so you don't have to worry about getting thirsty.
I wanted to take photos with my iPhone, so I brought it along, but if you drop it, you definitely won't be able to retrieve it, so a case that you can hang around your neck is essential! Photos during the tour are taken with a provided camera and can be purchased at the end. Payment can be made in cash or via a registered email address.
The guides were all really kind and fun, making it a great tour! I was truly moved by the beautiful rainbow that appeared in the mountains along the way!
初めてクアロアランチのツアーに参加しました。
着いてまず山の美しさに感動しました!
ベルトラのバウチャーを印刷して行ったのでスムーズに受付を済ませることができました。
バスに乗ってジップラインのスタート地点まで移動する途中に、美しい景色の見える場所や、ジュラシックパークなどの撮影場所を通ります。
スタート地点には無料のロッカーとトイレがあるので、ハーネスを装着する前に済ませておくといいです。
ツアーは全て英語で日本人は私たちだけでした。
ガイドはみんなとても気さくなので、わからないことがあっても聞きやすいと思います。
ハーネスを装着して少し山の中を歩くので少し疲れますが、それも楽しかったです。
ジップラインは全部で7本。
そんなに怖くはないので、高所恐怖症でなければ大丈夫。
とても爽快で、景色も綺麗で、いい体験でした!
途中シャワーがありましたが、基本的には暑いです。
ただ、蚊がたくさんいるので長ズボンの方がオススメです。
他のツアー客はだいたい短パンだったので、短パンでも参加OKです。
途中給水ポイントもあるので、喉が渇いても心配ないです。
iPhoneで撮影したかったので持って行きましたが、もし落としたら絶対に拾えないので、首からぶら下げられるようなケースは必須です!
ツアー中の写真は備え付けのカメラで撮影され、最後に購入できます。
現金か登録したメールアドレスで決済できます。
ガイドさんがみなさん本当に優しくて楽しくて、いいツアーになりました!
途中山の中に架かった虹が本当に綺麗で感動しました!

The trip was a nice trip this is something you would like to do as a group. We had a really good driver and the tour guide seem to know the area. Gave some information about the different areas and offer take our picture which was nice. The meal we had was ok just the basic chicken and rice. Would like to see a place to get souvenirs the place we went to are so expensive. disappointed about the pool was not open at the state park. Sometimes it seem we were rushed and like at the state park nothing to do since the pool was closed. Tour guide did a good job also taking pictures with me and my spouse. You can do it on your own but i think you would miss a lot of extras. Thank you for a wonderful time and memories.

Fantastic! Highly recommended! Beautiful view!
Great pilot and friendly Mr Bill offered us two flights because the winds were not quite right for a 20 minute flight.

My husband and I had a great time on this excursion. We were the only ones signed up for our particular day and time so it ended up being a private tour which was a bonus. We had the morning tour (check-in at 7:45 am) which seemed a lot less crowded than the later tours. There were a lot more people hiking in on our way out. The activity was very scenic and not strenuous at all for us moderately in-shape people (my husband more so that me!). Jamie was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable in the flora, fauna, and area, but also personable so we weren't talking shop the whole time. Lunch was also more than adequate: fresh pineapple, deli sandwich on a good roll with cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, a bag of chips, 2 Kauai cookies, a drink, and 2 bottles of water. Since we took a guided tour this time, the next time around we'd probably opt for renting kayaks on our own and making our way to Secret Falls without a guide. We definitely want to do this again with our children when they are a little older (at least 5). However, for first timers we highly recommend Kayak Kauai with Jamie as your guide! P.S. I would not recommend this tour for children younger than 5. It is very rocky, muddy and wet with lots of tree roots on the trail and by the waterfall. We saw another tour group with young children and several of them were crying because they fell on their way down to the waterfall. One small boy fell and hit his head on a rock, poor thing.

In Japan, it seems that you can't really go horseback riding without a license, so I wanted to challenge myself in Hawaii and participated. I enjoyed canyon horseback riding at a place called Happy Trails. There are explanations in Japanese, and the instructor teaches you how to handle the horses in broken Japanese, so there's no need to worry about handling the horses. The horses are trained for polo and were surprisingly calm, which was very soothing.
When you think of Hawaii, the image of beaches is strong, but I enjoyed a different side of Hawaii's scenery.
As a note, the red dirt can get quite messy, so it's better to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
After horseback riding, we stopped by a beach with sea turtles, but overall, the schedule moved quickly, and the day ended in no time.
日本ではライセンスを取らないとなかなか乗馬はできないようなのでハワイでチャレンジしたいと思い参加しました。
Happy Trailsというところで渓谷乗馬を楽しんできました。
日本語の説明書きが書いてあるし、インストラクターの方がカタコトの日本語で馬の扱い方を教えてくれるので、馬の扱い方は心配ないです。馬もポロ用に訓練された馬で驚くほどおとなしく癒されました。
ハワイというとビーチのイメージが強いですが、また違うハワイの景色を堪能しました。
注意事項ですが、結構赤土で足元が汚れることがあるので汚れてもいい恰好で行ったほうがいいですね。
今回は乗馬の後海亀のいるビーチに寄りましたが全体的に乗馬以外は駆け足でスケジュールが進みあっという間に一日が終わってしまいました。

Came to Maui for my honeymoon and of course had to do zip line. Read great reviews about this spot so we booked the 4 line zip n dip. It definitely lived up to all the reviews. Amazing views of the mountains and ocean and awesome employees. They made the experience that much more fun. Next time we're in Maui we will for sure be doing the zip n dip again. Would definitely recommend it to everyone!

Since there is no shuttle service for the tour, I rented a Harley with a rental bike the day before and set off from the local area. In a country where helmets are not required, I enjoyed the freedom with a bandana and sunglasses while heading to the ranch. I wish this could be included in the tour as well!
This morning, it was just the four of us in a private session, and most of the preparations for horseback riding were already done. The horses, saddled and ready, lined up to greet us. The staff, consisting of friendly cowboys and cowgirls, assisted us, and since they could speak a little Japanese, the process was smooth.
The horse assigned to me was named Cowboy, and all the horses were well-trained and adorable. The horseback riding was quite hands-off, so beginners might feel a bit confused without an experienced rider accompanying them. It's common knowledge that the handling of reins is the opposite of Japan, so if you understand that, you can ride fairly freely, which made it a lot of fun for us.
We rode for 90 minutes, climbing steep, unmarked slopes and traversing a varied ranch landscape. It was very satisfying. However, I wished we could have been taken to a spot with a better ocean view at the top of the mountain, which is the only reason I’m giving it four stars.
I plan to choose this place for horseback riding again next time, but I think I will negotiate before riding. It was a lot of fun.
送迎の無いツアーなので、前日よりレンタルバイクでハーレーを借り現地出発
ヘルメットの要らない国なので、バンダナサングラスで開放感満喫しながら牧場目指して
ドドドドド! (これもツアーに含めてくれればと思います)
今日の午前中は自分達4人だけの貸切状態で、乗馬の支度は殆どおわっており
鞍スタンバイの馬たちが、並んでお出迎え
スタッフも笑顔が素敵なカーボウイとカウガールが対応してくれて、日本語も片言で喋れる人達なので手続きもスムーズでした。
自分のあてがわれた馬は名前はカウボーイ、どの馬もよく教育されていて可愛かった
乗馬はかなり放任型で、初心者は経験者同伴じゃないと少し戸惑うかも
日本と手綱の扱いが逆なのも海外乗馬は常識なので、分かっていれば逆に
ある程度は自由に乗せてくれるので、自分達は凄く楽しかったです。
道無き急斜面を上ったり、起伏に富んだ牧場を90分かけての乗馬
のりごたえ満点です。
ただ、山の上でもう少しオーシャンビューなところに案内してもらいたかったかな
と、そこだけが残念で星4つです。
次回も乗馬はここに決定のつもりですが、乗る前に交渉してみようと思っています。
楽しかったです。

It was my first experience, and the weather was perfect, making it a wonderful time.
It takes over an hour from Waikiki, and there was also a wait time of more than an hour before the experience, so I think it's best to allow for plenty of time.
Additionally, you could request photo and video shooting for an extra fee of about 20,000 yen.
The photos were screenshots from part of the video, but they selected some really great moments.
Since tips are necessary, I think it's better to bring dollars.
Also, it's advisable to bring pants, athletic shoes, and hair ties for those with long hair.
初めての体験でしたが、天候に恵まれ最高の時間でした。
ワイキキからは1時間以上かかる場所で、体験までの待ち時間も1時間以上あったので、時間に余裕を持っていた方が良いと思います。
また、写真やビデオ撮影も追加料金2万円位で依頼出来ました。
写真はビデオの一部をスクリーンショットしたものでしたが、とても良い場面を選んでもらえました。
チップが必要なので、ドルを持って行った方が良いと思います。
また、ズボンと運動靴と髪の長い人はヘアゴム等を持っていくようにした方が良いです。

Listening to the music played inside the car can sometimes reveal my age, which is a bit of a flaw (laughs), but I'm glad you enjoyed it! Next time, I'll let you listen to that nostalgic new version again!
