All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

When I came to Hawaii, I wanted to go horseback riding in nature, so I took a local bus for 1 hour and 30 minutes from Waikiki to Kualoa Ranch. First, I enjoyed a delicious burger that was highly recommended, and then I got on a big horse and started riding. There were six of us participating, but only one female instructor was assigned... Is this normal?? I was a bit anxious, wondering if she could handle everything alone if something happened, while I was riding.

Since I was a beginner, I took the one-hour course, but we just rode along a path surrounded by trees and that was it... Wait, where was the location of Jurassic Park?? Was there a two-hour course to go there?? I felt somewhat unsatisfied, but the female instructor spoke Japanese, I was able to ride safely, and the burger was delicious, so I had a decent time, giving it three stars.

However, I'm not sure if it was worth the three-hour round trip... It might be recommended for those who are just stopping by with a rental car.

ハワイに来たら大自然の中で乗馬をしたかったので、ワイキキからローカルバスに１時間３０分乗ってクアロア牧場へ。
まずはおいしいと評判のバーガーをガッツリいただいてから、大きなお馬さんにまたがりカポカポ。
６名で参加しましたが、インストラクターの女性1人しかつかず・・・
こんなもんですか？？
何かあったとき1人で対応できるのかな？？と不安に思いつつカポカポ。
初心者だったので1時間コースでしたが、木が生い茂ったあぜ道をひたすらカポカポして終わり・・・
あれ？？ジェラシックパークの場所は？？
そこに行くには2時間コースだったのでしょうか？？
なんだか不完全燃焼でしたが、インストラクターの女性は日本語話してくれてたし、無事乗馬もできたし、バーガー美味しかったし、それなりに楽しかったので★3つです。

ただ、往復３時間かけて来る場所だったかは微妙・・・
レンタカーでちょっと寄ってみるか、という人にはお勧めかもしれませんが。

I was nervous since it was my first time, but the staff were all so interesting and I had a great time! The view from above was also breathtaking and unforgettable. I definitely want to do it again when I come back to Hawaii!

初めてでドキドキでしたが、面白いスタッフばかりでとても楽しめました！
上空から見る景色も感動的で忘れられないです。
またハワイに来たら絶対したいです！

In January, it was too cold for adults to swim in the ocean or pool, so I joined a hiking tour.

As we progressed, the guide explained about the plants and animals in the tropical rainforest, and we ended up seeing a waterfall. I had thought Hawaii was just about the beaches, but it was great to walk through such a tropical rainforest at a distance and difficulty level that even preschoolers could manage.

I highly recommend this tour for those who are tired of the beaches in Hawaii. It might be especially good for families with children, as it's also beneficial for their English education.

１月で海やプールに入るのに
大人には寒く、
することがなかったので
ハイキングに参加しました。

熱帯雨林の植物や動物のことを
ガイドが説明してくれながら
進み、最後は滝を見れました。
ハワイはただのビーチだけと思っていたのですが
このような熱帯雨林を
幼稚園児でも歩けるぐらいの距離と難易度で歩け
とてもよかったです。
ハワイのビーチに飽きた人には
是非おすすめのツアーです。
特に、子連れにはいいかもしれませんね。
お子様の英語の教育にもいいですし。

It was amazing. I'm really glad I got to have this experience. The guide was incredibly entertaining. My wife was with me and she was very happy as well. This was my first time having such an experience; I initially hesitated, but I'm glad I did it. I want to recommend this to others and give more people the chance to have such an experience. Thank you very much.

最高でした。こんな体験させて頂いて本当良かった。案内してくれたおっちゃんが最高面白くしてくれた。
奥さんも一緒だったがすごく喜んでくれた。こんな体験初めて私は初め拒んでいたけどやって良かった。他の人にも勧めたいもっと他の人にもこんな体験させてあげたい。
ありがとうございました。

The bento was not great, but the driver was kind and funny, which made it very enjoyable. I was glad that we could take photos at the photo spots. I considered renting a 4WD, and although the weather was very nice, the summit, which is higher than Mount Fuji, was very cold, and during the journey, I was battling sleepiness. If I had gone with a lighthearted attitude, it would have turned into quite a challenge.

お弁当はいまいちでしたが、ドライバーさんも親切で面白い方で、とても楽しかったです。
写真ポイントでは必ず写真も撮っていただけて良かったと思います。
四駆車を借りていこうとも考えましたが、とても良い天気でしたが、
富士山より高い山頂はとても寒く、移動中は眠さとの戦いなので、
軽い気持ちで行っていたら大変なことになっていたと思います。

We spent Christmas in Hawaii and went on this excursion and absolutely loved it!!! The crew was fabulous and we would do this excursion again!!! Such a unique experience and the views were out of this world!!! Highly highly reccommend!!!

I have wanted to go skydiving for a long time. The scenery in Hawaii is so beautiful, and diving into it was incredibly exciting!! The staff were all fun and reliable. I want to do it again! Next time, I want to have photos taken while diving.

前々からスカイダイビングをしたいと思っていました。ハワイの景色はとてもキレイで、その中に飛び込んでダイブするのはとてもエキサイティングでした！！
スタッフの方も、面白くて頼もしい方たちばかりです。また飛びたい！
今度はダイブしてる写真も撮ってもらいたいです。

Since I attend a riding club, I found the horseback riding a bit lacking in terms of riding experience. Instead of riding along the beach, we rode steadily along the coastline. I thought 40 minutes would be short, but it actually turned out to be nearly an hour of enjoyment. The scenery was lovely and very much like Hawaii, making it a great experience.

I also got to enjoy the garlic shrimp from Macky's, which is difficult to reach on your own, and I was able to try Matsumoto Shave Ice! Shopping at the cute shops in Haleiwa was also fun, so this tour was quite fulfilling.

Moreover, I got to see a sea turtle!!! And I must say, the guide was quite a character (laughs). At first, I was a bit confused, but he created a fun atmosphere and was very knowledgeable about Hawaii. The vibe in the car during the transfers was friendly and cheerful. Since the travel time was long, the atmosphere was important. Looking back, I feel lucky to have had him as our guide.

This is a highly recommended tour where you can enjoy about half of what Hawaii has to offer! Thank you!

乗馬クラブに通ってるので、乗馬という意味では物足りないです。浜辺ではなく、海岸沿いをひたすら常足での騎乗でした。４０分は短いかなと思ってましたが、実際は１時間近かく楽しめました。景色がハワイらしく素敵なのでいい体験になります。
自力で行くことが難しいマッキーズのガーリックシュリンプもいただくことが出来ましたし、マツモトシェイブアイスもトライ出来ました!(^^)!ハレイワの可愛いショップでショッピングも楽しめるので、このツアーはかなり充実しています。
それにウミガメにも逢えました！！！
そして何といっても、ガイドさんがけっこう強烈な方で（笑）最初は？？？と思いましたが、楽しい雰囲気を作って下さるハワイを熟知した方で、移動中の車内は和気あいあいとしていてました。移動時間が長いので、空気感も大事ですね。終わってみればこの方でラッキーだったと思いました。
こちらでハワイの半分位は楽しめちゃったお勧めのツアーです(^_-)-☆
ありがとうございます♪

The zip line was physically demanding, but it was exciting and fun! The friendliness of the staff and the enjoyable atmosphere were also very good. My whole family said they were glad to participate.

The start was terrible as we waited 30 minutes for the bus. It was stated that if it didn't arrive in 10 minutes, we should call, so I did, but since it was in English, the conversation didn't go well. I called twice. During the second call, I was told to wait another 10 minutes, and after 30 minutes, the bus finally arrived. The voucher said to wait in front of the Ilikai Hotel, but the pickup was in front of the road, not at the entrance. Also, instead of calling me by name, they shouted "Zip line!" and I almost didn't realize it in time, which was scary.

Once we arrived, the staff were very friendly and created a fun atmosphere. With gestures, I could generally understand what they were saying in English!

First, we registered our profiles and consent on a wall-mounted PC screen. We had to leave all our belongings behind and participate with just our bodies. It was mandatory to use the restroom before joining.

We moved around the site in a jeep, and it was fun with the bumpy ride that splashed mud everywhere.

After that, we slid down the zip line, starting with the staff demonstrating how it’s done. Then, two people at a time took turns sliding. Before sliding, the staff communicated via walkie-talkie to inform each other of who was going next. The instructions before sliding were precise, which made me feel safe.

There are two ways to slide: fast and slow, and they provided a briefing on this. We slid down seven lines, doing various styles including upside down.

The course included climbing down with ropes, using arm strength to pull ourselves up, and a suspension bridge. We also had bananas and nuts to eat and could drink water, making it feel like an obstacle course. There were two zip line options in Hawaii, one in Croatia and this one, but we chose this one because it seemed more fun. I think we made the right choice.

While enjoying the zip line, I was impressed by the staff's skill and professionalism.

I believe my whole family enjoyed it. As a gesture of gratitude, I gave a small tip to two staff members I was able to identify during the tour. After finishing, it seems they go on break, so it’s best to give tips right away if you want to.

Thank you very much.

ジップライン、体力使いましたがエキサイティングで楽しかったです！
スタッフさんのフレンドリーさと楽しい雰囲気もとても良かったです。
家族みんな参加して良かったと言っていました。

スタートは最悪でバスを30分待ちました。10分待ってこなかったら電話と記載があったのでかけましたが、英語なので会話が成立しません。2回も電話かけました。2回目に10分待つように言われて、30分待ちで来ましたが、バウチャーはイリカイホテルの玄関前とありましたが、迎えに来たのはホテル前の道路の前で玄関前には来ませんでした。また「●●さん」と名前で呼ばずに、「ジップライン！」と叫ばれてすぐに気が付かず、乗り遅れなくて良かった。怖い・・と思いました。

現地に付いたら、スタッフさんはとてもフレンドリーで楽しい雰囲気で、ゼスチャーもあるのか英語なのに何を言ってらっしゃるのかが大体解りました！

最初にプロフィールと承諾を壁掛けのPC画面で登録します。
持物は全てあずけて身体一つ。必ずトイレをしてから参加です。

ジープで敷地内を移動しますが、泥が飛んでくるくらいグネグネ運転で楽しかったです。

その後ジップラインを滑走しますが、最初まずスタッフさんが滑って見本を見せてくれます。
その後順番に2名ずつ滑走します。滑走前にはスタッフさんがトランシーバーで連絡を取り合い、誰が滑るかを名前を伝えています。滑る前の滑走の手順も正確で安心して滑れました。

滑り方には速く滑る方法と、ゆっくり滑る方法があります。これをレクチャーしてくれます。
7本滑りましたが、逆さになったり、いろんな滑り方をしました。

コースの中には、上から縄で下に降りたり、下から上に腕力を使って自分を引上げたり、吊り橋があったり、途中バナナやナッツも食べたり、水を飲めたりアスレチックのようでした。
ジップラインはハワイでクロアチアと2つあったのですが、こちらの方がコースが楽しそうだったので私達はこちらを選びました。多分正解でした。

ジップラインを楽しむとともに、スタッフさんの滑走の上手さや仕事ぶりが素晴らしく関心してしまいました。

家族みんな楽しめたと思います。感謝の気持ちを込めて、一緒に回ったスタッフさんで発見できたスタッフさん2名にチップを少しお渡ししました。終了すると休憩に入られるみたいで姿がすぐにいらっしゃる場所が解らなくなりますので、渡したい方はすぐに渡したほうが良いです。

ありがとうございました。

It's a mountain higher than Mount Fuji. You can get there by rental car, but the thought of not having an oxygen tank if you get altitude sickness is chilling. I don't think this would be allowed in Japan. If you're prepared to face the dangers, I won't stop you, but I absolutely recommend going on a tour for the sake of safety. They have extensive knowledge about cameras, so they can teach you how to take photos with the camera you bring. For those interested in constellations, the explanations are very easy to understand, and you'll create lifelong memories by seeing the natural planetarium. The local staff are friendly, humorous, and all around great people. The reason for the four stars is the poor exchange rate. It says $170, but the actual amount I paid in Japanese yen was 21,542 yen. This company has its own exchange rate, so please be careful when applying for the tour.

富士山より標高が高い山です。
レンタカーでも行けますが、もし高山病になった場合、酸素ボンベが無いと思うとぞっとします。
これが日本なら絶対に許可が出てないと思います。
危険覚悟で行くなら止めませんが、安全をお金で買うという意味で絶対にツアーで行く事をお薦めします。
カメラの知識も豊富なので持って行ったカメラで撮る方法等教えてもらえます。
星座に興味のある人にはとても分かり易く、そして自然のプラネタリウムを見ての説明に一生の想い出を作る事が出来るでしょう。
現地スタッフは気さくで、とてもユーモアありトークも楽しく良い人ばかりです。
星４つの理由は換金率が悪いからです。
170ドルと書かれていますが、実際に日本円で支払った金額は21542円です。
この会社独自の換金レートがありますので、このあたりを気をつけてツアーの申し込みをして下さい。

It was a level of satisfaction beyond my imagination. Enjoying horseback riding in the great outdoors at a leisurely pace is just the best! The staff were very friendly, and I thought I would love to come back again!

想像を超えた満足感でした。
ゆっくりとした時間で、大自然の中で乗馬を楽しめるなんて、最高です！
スタッフの方々もとても感じが良くて、また来たいなと思いました！

First time zip-lining with my 10 year old daughter. Cant imagine a better zip line tour not only in Hawaii but in the US. You finish strong with an incredible 3,000+ foot zip line ride that goes over a waterfall and canyon. The crew is great too. Very professional, courteous. My 10 year old daughter thought this was awesome and so did I.

The weather was perfect, and I thoroughly enjoyed both the sunset and the starry sky. This is a place I definitely want to visit again, not just once in a lifetime. There are many tours to the summit of Mauna Kea, but I’m really glad I chose the Masashi Nature School. The guide was fantastic! The lunch and miso soup during our break at the Onizuka Visitor Center were also delicious.

Being in the place closest to space, I felt a connection to the universe and realized that each of us is a part of it! It’s a place that made me want to cherish the Earth.

天候にも恵まれ、サンセット＆星空共に大満喫できました☆
一生に一度と言わず、是非また訪れたい場所です。
マウナケア山頂を訪れるツアーは沢山ありますが、マサシネイシャースクールに入って本当に良かったです。ガイドさんも最高！途中、オニヅカビジターセンターでの休憩時のお弁当も、お味噌汁も美味しかったです。
宇宙に一番近い場所で、宇宙を感じる、宇宙と交信する、
私たち一人一人も宇宙の一部であるとハッキリ分かります！！
地球を大事にしたいな、と思った場所です。

Every time in Maui, I would usually just relax at the hotel besides playing golf, but this time I participated in a sightseeing tour for the first time. The weather was great, and I was able to see the best sunset and starry sky.

The winding road to the summit has no guardrails, so I really appreciated using the tour. I enjoyed the explanations at the summit and the observations through the telescope.

For dinner, I bought packaged sushi at the supermarket. For a couple in their 50s, this was also an extraordinary experience that we enjoyed.

This time, a young Japanese-American man was in charge. He seemed to have little experience, but his earnestness came through.

However, that beautiful starry sky was probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience!? I wanted to quietly take my time to enjoy it. I found the explanations about the stars very interesting, but in the freezing cold, I was a bit taken aback by how he endlessly talked about his background and feelings towards his job. Also, it was not appropriate for him to speak ill of other companies while trying to convey the greatness of his own. It seems like youthful passion can sometimes miss the mark. He is someone I look forward to seeing grow in the future.

As you mentioned, I believe the company is sincere and solid. If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate in another tour.

毎回マウイでは、ゴルフをする以外は、ホテルでのんびりしていましたが、
今回初めて、マウイでの観光ツアーに参加しました。
お天気にも恵まれ、
最高のサンセットと星空を見ることができました。

山頂までは、ガードレールのないワインディングロードが続きますので、
ツアーを利用して、本当に良かったと思います。
山頂での説明や、望遠鏡での観測も楽しめました。

夕食は、パック入りのお寿司をスーパーで購入します。
５０代の夫婦にとっては、
これもまた非日常の経験で、楽しめました。

今回は、若い日系男性の担当でした。
まだ経験が浅いようでしたが、一生懸命さが伝わってきました。

ただし、
あれだけの美しい星空は、恐らく人生最初で最後！？
静かにじっくり見たかったですね。
星の説明は、とても興味深く聞いていましたが、
激寒の中、
ご自分の経歴や、仕事への思いを延々と語られたのには
ちょっと閉口しました。
また、ご自分の会社の素晴らしさを伝えようと、
他の会社の悪口を言われたのもＮGですね。
若さ故の情熱の空回りでしょう。
今後が楽しみな方です。

おっしゃるとおり、会社としては、
しっかりした誠意のある会社だと思います。
機会があれば、別のツアーにも参加したいと思います。

This was a fabulous excursion! Definitely a bucket-list must! Chris was so knowledgable and a wonderful guide. The entire experience was incredible. I was traveling solo and felt completely included the entire time. I recommend this excursion above all others. At the end we had our own private astronomy lesson and were able to use the tour's private telescopes. It just could not have been better!

We participated as a family of four. Our 12-year-old and 8-year-old sons rode alone as well. In 1 hour and 15 minutes, we enjoyed a magnificent view and were very satisfied. Along the way, there were changes in the path, and there were some thrilling spots too. It became an unforgettable experience.
At the ranch, there were free-range donkeys and wild peacocks, and it was fun to interact with them.

家族四人で参加しました。12才と8才の息子もひとりで乗りました。1時間15分で、雄大な景色の中を周り大満足。途中、道にも変化があり、少しスリルのあるところもありました。一生忘れられない経験になりました。
牧場には、放し飼いのロバや、野生の孔雀がいて、触れ合いが楽しかったです。

Ziplining is something I've been wanting to do for the longest time, but my fear of heights would win all the time! I am so glad I went ahead, despite my fears. Turns out, there was nothing to fear. Our Guides, Aka & Kyle (spelling) were fantastic! Safety First! Then they made it very safe, simple and easy to zip thru every course. Got paired with a great team as well. We all hit it off and had a blast. Beautiful weather, scenery was amazing. Next time I'm n Maui, I will Zipline again.

My family and I had an amazing day with Dawn as our guide on this excursion. She was knowledgable, friendly, smart, skilled, and funny! The excursion itself introduced us to the rain forest of Maui which was beautiful in its terrain and a bit challenging to navigate. Dawn gave us all the confidence we needed so we could rise to the challenges while being gracious to those who did not choose some aspects (cliff jumping) of the tour. Overall, it was a highlight of our entire Hawaiian trip. Dawn was fantastic. Lastly, the water shoes (available for a nominal charge) are a necessity.

The reservation for my preferred time was fully booked, so I had to start around noon, but that turned out to be a blessing as I had an amazing time. On the way there, we encountered heavy rain that reduced visibility, and it continued to rain heavily and lightly after we arrived. However, about 30 minutes before we started, the sun came out, and we ended up ziplining in great weather. If I had gone at my original time, I would have faced a downpour, which would have been quite a hassle. When the previous group returned, everyone was soaked...

The guide spoke entirely in English, which was a bit tiring as I had to concentrate, but everyone was friendly and had a great vibe; it was simply wonderful. I got bitten by mosquitoes, so I recommend bringing insect repellent if that concerns you. Overall, the scenery and weather were fantastic, and both the guide and the people I was with were great, making for a wonderful experience. I didn't see any other Japanese people in the groups before or after mine, so you can really enjoy the feeling of being abroad. In any case, this is something you absolutely must do!!!

希望時間の予約がいっぱいで、昼頃スタートになってしまったのですが、それが功を奏して最高な時間を過ごす事ができました。
車で向かう途中、視界が無くなる程の大雨で、到着してからも大雨と小雨の繰り返し。
しかし、開始30分くらい前から日差しが出てきて、結果良い天候の中でのジップラインでした。
希望時間のままでしたら、大雨にたたられ、大変なことになる所でした。
その時間の人達が戻ってきたら、皆さんずぶ濡れでしたので。。。
全編英語のガイドでしたので、集中して聞くのにやや疲れましたが、皆さんノリが良く優しくて、すばらしいの一言でした。
蚊に刺されましたので、気になる方は虫よけスプレーなどを振っていくことをオススメします。
とにかく、景色も天気もすばらしく、ガイドさんも一緒に同行した人達も良い人達ばかりで、良い時間を過ごすことができました。
前後のグループを含め、日本人は見かけなかったので、海外気分を大いに味わうことができますよ。
とにかく、とにかく、これは絶対にやるべし！！！

This was my second time on the Mauna Kea Sunset & Stargazing Tour. Since it was my first time participating in winter, I had some concerns, but those worries quickly faded away. I had a wonderful experience once again, receiving passionate and detailed explanations from our guide, Yo, who became a guide because he was captivated by the breathtaking views from Mauna Kea. I was also very satisfied with the service of snap photos with the starry sky that I couldn't take with my own camera!

マウナケアのサンセット&星空ツアーは今回で２回目。冬の参加は初めてだったので、若干不安もありましたが、そんな不安もなんのその。
マウナケアからの絶景に魅せられてガイドになったという葉(よう)さんの熱くて詳しい説明を受けながら今回も素晴らしい体験をすることが出来ました。
自分のカメラでは撮れなかった星空とのスナップ写真などもサービスしていただいて大満足です！

I signed up for skydiving in Hawaii at my husband's request, but it costs $53.33 just for a companion to accompany us. I thought it was expensive, but since it's a valuable experience, I went ahead with the booking.

Since we were at it, I also added the video recording option to capture the moment in the air. However, the reservation site stated that we could choose between a photographer or an instructor for the shoot, but in reality, we had no choice. In the end, we were only offered the photographer option, and I ended up paying $178 including tax for that. The skydiving itself was $170, so the video recording ended up being more expensive.

Before purchasing the video, I wasn't allowed to check the footage and had to buy it as instructed.

The tipping amount was also listed on the site as $10 to $20, but we were actually told to pay $20 each. That meant $20 for the instructor, $20 for the photographer, totaling $40, plus $10 for the driver who brought us there.

In total, I ended up paying over $450.

It was a typical case of appearing cheap but charging a lot in the end.

While I was satisfied with the valuable experience itself, I found it unkind that the prices increased once we got there, and it was hard to know the exact costs until we arrived.

Additionally, there was a fully equipped ATM for cash advances from credit cards, with a sign saying, "If you don't have enough money, please use this."

Since the optional tour was prepaid by credit card, many people might not expect to incur such additional costs. I advise anyone planning to participate to keep these points in mind.

Also, even my husband, who is good with rides, felt nauseous during the landing turns and ended up feeling groggy. I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

ハワイでスカイダイビングをしたいとの夫の要望で申し込みましたが、現地に着いていくだけの同行者も53.33ドルかかります。高いなと思いつつも、貴重な体験だしと申し込みました。

せっかくなので、飛んでいる所も残そうとビデオ撮影のオプションもつけましたが、予約時のサイトの記載ではカメラマン撮影かインストラクター撮影か選べるとあったのに、実際は選べませんでした。
結局、カメラマン撮影一択で、税込みで178ドル支払わされました。
飛ぶのが、170ドルだったので、それよりも高いビデオ撮影代になりました。
動画購入前に、VTRのチェックもさせてもらえず、言われるがままに購入。

チップの金額もサイトでは、10ドル～20ドルと記載がありましたが、実際は各自に20ドル払ってくださいと金額を指定されました。
インストラクターに20ドル・カメラマンに20ドルで計40ドル
更に、現地までつれてきてくれたドライバーにも10ドル

なんだかんだで、全部で450ドル以上の支払いになりました。

安く見せといて、高く取られる典型的なパターンでした。

貴重な体験が出来たので、それ自体は満足ですが、現地に行ってから金額が吊り上がり、行ってみないと細かい金額が分からないのは不親切だなと思いました。

あと、「お金が足りない人は、こちらをご使用下さい」と、しっかりクレジットカードからキャッシング出来るATMまで完備されていました。

オプショナルツアー自体は、クレジットでの事前精算なのでお金がそんなに追加でかかると思わない人も多いのでしょうね……
参加予定の人は、以上の点をご注意ください。

あと、乗り物に強い夫でも着陸時の旋回で酔ってグロッキーになっていました。
酔い止めなどは飲まれた方がいいと思います。

Do not leave Hawaii without experiencing Bill's glider ride.

My kids now want to take horseback riding lessons ! They enjoyed every minute of it

So much fun ! we loved it ! A great way to see this beautiful ranch

We had a great time got four bites but that's fishing crew was fun I would go again

It was an amazing time. Our guides were awesome, informative and a lot of fun.

The hike was one of the highlights of my trip. I loved the river crossings even though the river made all of my clothes really wet and went up to my chest, since I am only 4'11". Keola taught us many Hawaiian words including freshwater, wai, saltwater, Kai, and Life, Keola. He was very knowledgable about the history of the island and the Kamehameha family. The best part was probably talking with our fellow hikers and the small lake where we ate lunch. We will definitely do one of the other tours as well.

The tour was good overall. Due to weather we didnt get to swim by the waterfalls, I wish they had offered another option like more time in black sand beach, knowing that it was impossible to swim in the other part. (I had brought my swimsuit, towel and extra clothes). I liked it that they offered complimentary juices and water bottles on the bus. If you don't pay for the tour that includes lunch, there are more options to find good food walking distance from where the bus stops for lunchtime, so I didn't regret not paying for that

There isn't enough stars to rate this tour. We had an amazing time, our guides were better than grwat. They were fun and very informative when it came to the history of the area. I can't recommend this one enough!!! Mahalo Nui Loa!!

I enjoyed a full two-hour ride at locations that were used for filming Jurassic Park and Lost! It was a 45-minute drive from Honolulu by rental car. Our guide, Morgan, was incredibly hospitable and had studied Japanese, so he understood Japanese culture well. We were able to chat a lot during the ride. Even if you can't speak English, he will do his best to listen if you speak slowly. It was such a fun time that when I said things like "fantastic" or "amazing," he responded with a million-dollar smile, saying, "It's my pleasure." There are points where you can take photos, but be careful not to drop your camera, so I recommend using a lanyard that you can hang around your neck if you're a beginner. I also suggest wearing long pants to protect your legs and a waterproof outdoor jacket.

JURASSIC PARKやLOSTなどの撮影ロケーションともなった場所をたっぷり2時間ライドしました！ホノルルからレンタカーで45分でした。丁寧なガイドのホスピタリティ溢れるMorganは、日本語を勉強したことがあり、日本の文化にも理解があって、ライドしながらたくさんおしゃべりもできました。英語ができなくてもゆっくり話せば頑張って聞いてくれます。すごく楽しい時間だったので「ファンタスティック」とか「アメージング」と話しかけると、「It's my pleasure（喜んでもらえると嬉しい）」と100万ドルの笑顔でした。写真を撮ってくれるポイントもあるのですが、落とすと大変なので、初心者はカメラを首から下げるタイプのランヤードなどで持っていくといいと思います。足を保護する長ズボンと、Waterproofのアウトドアジャケットの着用をお薦めします。
