All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

First time zipping and it was awesome! I will admit, I'm a little heavy and slow. I was worried about the walk between stations , the first hike was a little uncomfortable and I was slow, but the crew we had, were so understanding and encouraged me to take my time and enjoy the view. They made it great and the views are breath taking. The crew were fantastic and fun. We bought the lunch, highly recommend, it was the best meal the all week. Highly recommend!

The helicopter ride took about 30mins which is really not enough to see Honolulu and around. The pilot was great but he only flew over certain areas once so only people at certain side could see and take pictures. I was expecting him to turn around 360 so everybody can take pictures. Great views of Waikiki, Honolulu, Diamond Head.

I signed up based on a recommendation from an acquaintance. It was enjoyable to hear many stories about the Big Island and explanations of the scenery even before we reached Mauna Kea. Not only were the stories fun, but there was also advice on altitude sickness, which was very kind.

At Mauna Kea, I was moved by the sunset and the starry sky!! I was able to take wonderful photos, creating memories for a lifetime. The guide's wealth of knowledge, thoughtfulness, and hospitality were outstanding in every situation. Thank you so much, Konno! I will confidently recommend this to acquaintances who are going to the Big Island in the future!

知人からおすすめされて申し込みました。マウナケアに着くまでもハワイ島のお話しをたくさんしてくださったり景色の説明をしてくださって楽しかったです。楽しいお話しだけでなく高山病のアドバイスもあり親切でした。
マウナケアでは夕日と満点の星空に感動しました！！素敵な写真も撮ってもらえて一生の思い出になりました。どんな場面においてもとにかくガイドさんの知識量。気遣い、ホスピタリティが素晴らしかったです。コンノさん本当にありがとうございました！これからハワイ島に行く知人にも自信をもっておすすめさせていただきます♪

It seems we didn't go up to 4000 meters, so we received a partial refund. The view from above was, of course, breathtaking, but the instructor who was in charge was really scary, and I was so tense that my whole body was stiff. Other instructors were much friendlier and smiled a lot, so it varies from person to person. I had planned to ask for photos since I was there, but I found out that each person had to pay individually instead of as a group, and it was quite expensive, so I gave up on that.

高度4000mには行かなかったようで、いくらか返金がありました。
上空からの景色はもちろん絶景ですが、担当して下さったインストラクターの方がとにかく怖くて、全身に力が入ってしまうほど緊張しました。他のインストラクターの方は笑顔も多くフレンドリーだったので、人それぞれですね。。
せっかくやるなら写真をお願いしようと思っていたのですが、1グループではなく1人1人でお金を支払わないといけなくて、高額なので断念しました。

The guide picked us up at the hotel and shuttled us to the trailhead. From there its pretty easy hike up to the Manoa Falls.

I was worried because the weather was cloudy, but as I waited, the clouds gradually cleared, and I was able to see a beautiful sunset. The sunset reflected on the clouds was also wonderful and moving!

On the day of the tour, a high-energy guide came to pick us up in the early afternoon. I was a bit worried at first (laughs), but throughout the journey, they shared fun stories and showed great consideration, making it a very enjoyable experience.

The lunch and warm miso soup at the Onizuka Center were also very delicious. It was a pity that there were many clouds and not many stars were visible, but I want to save that for the next time.

Thank you, guide M, for the fun tour!

曇りがちな天気だったので心配しましたが、待っていたら少しずつ雲が晴れとても素敵な夕日を見ることができました。雲に映し出される夕日もとても素晴らしく感動しました！
当日は、お昼過ぎにハイテンションのガイドさんが迎えに来て下さり、若干心配(?)したりもしたのですが(笑)、道中ずっと楽しいお話や気遣いをして頂いて、とても楽しく過ごせました。
オニヅカセンターでのお弁当や温かいお味噌汁もとても美味しかったです。
雲が多く星があまり見えなかったのが残念でしたが、また次回のお楽しみにとっておきたいと思います。
ガイドのMさん、楽しいツアーをありがとうございました！

The guide was Japanese, and since it was a tour with only Japanese people, I enjoyed hearing various deep stories about Hawaii in the van. The guide was a great storyteller and a fun person.

On this day, the North Shore had high waves due to the typhoon, and it seemed that the turtles couldn't come up to the beach, so there were no turtles at Turtle Bay. However, they took us to another beach where we could see turtles on the way back!

For lunch, they took us to a recommended shrimp restaurant, and it was really delicious. The seaside horseback riding plan was just the right length at 45 minutes, and it felt great. The horses weren't startled by the sound of the waves, and they were all calm, but some horses got really into eating grass during the ride, which seemed challenging for the riders (laughs). The riders looked like they were having fun despite the struggles.

I think it's a tour that people of all ages, from children to the elderly, can enjoy.

ガイドさんは日本人で、日本人しかいないツアーだったので、バンの中でいろんなハワイのディープな話が聞けて楽しかったです。ガイドさんは話が上手で面白い人でした。

この日のノースショアは台風の影響で波が高く、亀が海岸に上がってこれないようで、タートルベイに亀がいませんでした。しかし、帰りに亀が見られる別の海岸に連れてってくれたので見ることができました！
お昼にはおすすめのシュリンプのお店にも連れて行ってもらったのですが、本当に美味しかったです。
海辺乗馬プランは45分とちょうど良い時間で、気持ちいいです。馬は波の音にも驚かないし、みんなおとなしいですが、馬によっては外乗の途中で草を夢中で食べてしまう奴がいて操作が大変そうでした(笑)乗っている人は苦労しつつそれなりに楽しそうでしたが。

子供から年配の人まで楽しめるツアーだと思います。

I finally realized my long-time dream of participating in this tour with my family to see the magnificent scenery together! I had looked at guidebooks and watched broadcasts on BS television, but the views I saw in person were beyond words. I was also impressed by our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, and his high level of professionalism in taking care of participants' health and considering restroom breaks while guiding us through the 3000-meter mountains. The majestic views of Haleakalā and Mr. Yamauchi's stories resonated deeply with our family, and I’m truly glad we participated. Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi, for the wonderful tour!

このツアーに家族で参加して雄大な景色をみんなで見たい！という長年の私の夢がついに叶いました。私はガイドブックやBSテレビの放映を見ていきましたが、実際に見る景色は言葉に表せないほど素晴らしいものでした。またガイドのヤマウチさんの、参加者への体調の気配りやお手洗いの配慮などが3000ｍ級の山を案内するプロとしての意識の高さに感心させられました。ハレアカラ山の雄大な景色とヤマウチさんのお話は私たち家族の心に大きく響くものがあり、本当に参加して良かったです。ヤマウチさん素敵なツアーありがとうございました。

Not only was the horseback riding experience enjoyable, but I also got to visit Moanalua Gardens, Dole Plantation, and Haleiwa, which made for a fulfilling trip! Even though it wasn't part of the original plan, I was glad that I could also visit the North Shore Soap Factory and Honolulu Coffee upon request!

乗馬体験だけではなく、モアナルアガーテン・ドールプランテーション・ハレイワも行けて充実していました！当初の予定にはなかったにも関わらず、リクエストに応じてノースショアソープファクトリーやホノルルコーヒーも行けてよかったです！

Best experience ever. Highly recommended. I wasn't able to make Ultimate one due to the weather. Definitely will try that one again in the future.

We had a fantastic time on our Road to Hana tour! Larry is a great tour guide. I just wished we could have spent more time at the Seven Sacred Pools. We saw many waterfalls, so this is an excellent choice for people that love nature!!

Excellent guide, very knowledgeable about horses, Hawaiian scenery, and informative about Hawaiian economy. The ride itself was absolutely goregous and the beauty of the trail and ocean was so beautiful it is difficult to describe. Definately worth the money and a must if you are on the North Shore.
Only suggestion is that the address needs to be be more specific and signs would be nice.

Really great day. Our guides were very helpful and a lot of fun. Made my wifes birthday really super.

Gracias por hacer nuestra luna de miel perfecta con sus atenciones y la magia de estar en las alturas y las hermosas vistas que es una experiencia que no se compara con nada y esperamos volver para subirnos de nuevo gracias.

My wife and I loved the ATV tour at Kualoa Ranch. Our tour guide "Tina" was great and very knowledgeable and friendly. For us it was really getting to see the natural beauty of Hawaii. We chose the 2 hour ATV trip and it was well worth it. The views were incredible and something we will never forget.

It's a once in a lifetime thing and it did not disappoint at all. Loved every minute of it. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would love to jump again. Chico is great. Mahalo.

This was truly one of the more amazing ventures we have done. The guides were knowledgeable and professional. We learned about the various international observatories, saw a phenomenal sunset above the clouds at nearly 14,000 feet and then were treated to astrological viewing that was incredible. Just a spectacular evening.

The only negative comment I have is the seating in the vans, particular if you are 6' or taller is very tight. That said, it is still a very worthwhile adventure.

From my upbringing to my time in Hawaii.
This world is filled with meaningless bragging about money.
In the end, there was a flyer printed with my profile.

I wish they would let me sleep since it's so early in the morning...
I won't be using this service again. It's annoying!

Oh, but the skydiving itself was incredibly fun!! Otherwise, I wouldn't even want to give it a star!

自分の生い立ちから、ハワイに来てからのこと。
この世はお金だばかりの意味の分からない自慢話。
あげくは自分のプロフィールが印刷されたチラシ。

朝早いんだから寝かせて欲しい…
もう、この業者は使いません。
鬱陶しいわ！

あ。スカイダイビング自体は非常に楽しかったです！！
じゃなければ星すら付けたくない！

It was thrilling, and I was very satisfied to see the magnificent nature of Hawaii from the sky! I definitely want to do it again in Hawaii.

スリル満点でハワイの雄大な自然も空からみる事が出来て大満足！
またhawaii で絶対にやりたいです。

Great trip for money. The crew went out of their way to find the big fish. I would suggest this all day trip to anyone looking for a challenge. You don't always find the fish, but when you do it is fun!

The day before had terrible weather, but on the day itself, it was clear with almost no clouds and no wind. I was quite lucky, arriving as the second group, so my turn came up quickly. (A few groups later, clouds started to appear. The photo is of the group that flew after me.)

Conversations with the instructors were only in English, but they were very considerate and helped ease my nerves, which gradually led to a sense of reassurance, making me feel like I could just leave it to them.

When it was finally my turn to dive, it was really up to the instructor's timing, so saying "wait a minute" doesn't work! It felt like being pushed off. However, the view was amazing, and I was captivated by the scenery, which naturally doubled my enjoyment.

Unlike the feeling of a roller coaster or an airplane, it felt like I was falling at a constant speed. My reactions became more like those of a foreigner. I might say that it felt scarier after the parachute opened. There were services that spun us around, and as we got closer to the ground, I started to feel the distance to the ground, which made it even scarier.

The impact when the parachute opened wasn't too strong, and I don't think it would hurt. When landing, you lift your legs, but if you land on the grass, your pants might get dirty, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Sturdy fabric clothing would be best.

The wait until the return time is due to the negative checks for those who ordered photos and videos. If someone in the same car ordered, you'll have to wait until their negative check is done. However, it's possible to ride back with another car that leaves earlier, so it’s a good idea to ask the driver. There's one person, an elderly man named Mickey Takahashi, who understands Japanese, so you might want to talk to him.

Photos and videos are expensive, but I think it's worth ordering them. Without them, the only proof of my jump would be a certificate, and I wouldn't be able to convey this amazing experience to my friends! It's about the same price as jumping again, but I think ordering them is a good idea. Otherwise, like me, you might regret not ordering them later.

It seems that some people cancel on the day. A few days before, I couldn't eat and couldn't sleep at night, but after actually jumping, I felt I had an incredible experience that happens only a few times in a lifetime. I want to save up and go again.

For those who are hesitating! Definitely! Give it a try. You won't regret it!

前日は凄く天候が悪かったのですが、当日は快晴で雲もほとんど無く、風もありませんでした。
色々と運も良くて、到着して２組目で順番が廻ってきました。
（何組か後になると雲が出てきました。写真は私が飛んだ後の組の写真です。）
インストラクターの方々との会話は英語のみですが、色々と気を遣ってくれて緊張をほぐしてくれている感がとても伝わってきました。それが徐々に安心感に繋がり、後はお任せしようと思うようになりました。
いざダイブの順番がくると、事実上、インストラクターのタイミングでダイブするので、ちょっと待ってぇ～は通用しません！突き落とされる感じです。
でも、景色が素晴らしくて、周りの景色に目を奪われて、自然と楽しさが倍増してきました。
ジェットコースーターや飛行機の、あのフワッと感は全く無くて、一定の速度で落ちてる感じがありました。自然とリアクションも外人ぽっくなったりします。
どちらかと言うとパラシュートが開いてからの方が恐いかもしれません。
クルクル回るサービスがあったり、だんだん地上が近いづいてくると地上との距離感を感じてしまって、逆に恐くなってしまいます。
パラシュートが開いた瞬間の衝撃はあまり強くなくて、痛いと感じることはないと思います。
着地の時は足を上げて降りるのですが、芝生の上にお尻を着くとズボンが汚れるので、汚れても良い服装の方が良いと思います。丈夫な生地の服装が良いと思います。
帰りの時間まで待たされるのは写真やビデオを注文した人のネガチェックがあるからです。
一緒の車で来た人の中に注文した人がいれば、その人のネガチェックが終わるまでは待つ事になります。ただ、先に帰る車に同乗することも可能なので、ドライバーに聞いてみると良いと思います。１人だけミッキー高橋という日本語が分かるおじいさんがいるので、その人と話してみてください。
写真やビデオは高いですが注文した方が良いと思います。
無ければ自分が飛んだ証拠が証明書以外に無く、この感動を友人に話しても全く伝わりません！
もう一回飛ぶくらいの価格ですが注文して損は無いと思います。逆に後から注文しておけば良かった～などと私のように後悔してしまいます。

当日、ドタキャンする人もいるみたいです。私も数日まえからご飯が喉を通らなくなり、夜も眠れなくなりましたが、実際に飛んでみて、一生に何度と無い素晴らしい体験が出来たと思います。またお金を貯めて行ってみたいと思います。
迷っている方！是非！チャレンジしてみてください。絶対に損は無いです！

I joined this tour because my husband wanted to see the sunset and the starry sky. First, we picked up participants from the hotel one by one. On this day, there were 13 participants in total, filling one bus (4 individuals, 4 couples, and 1 solo traveler). Since the Big Island of Hawaii is large, it took some time for pickups, but we stopped by a small shop along the way to pass the time (about 20 minutes). The guide provided very thorough explanations and shared various information about the Big Island.

Since the elevation is higher than Mount Fuji, we had an early dinner (around 4 PM) to acclimatize our bodies and took a restroom break. I was worried about altitude sickness, but the guide kept reminding us to drink water every 10 minutes, take deep breaths, and absolutely not to sleep!!! I only felt a slight headache, so I was okay. When we got off partway up the mountain, it was my first experience feeling the thin air and physical strain.

By the time we reached the summit, my body had acclimatized. Unfortunately, there were many clouds that day, and it rained on and off, but I was deeply moved and felt a sense of mystery as we barely managed to see the sunset. A little below the summit, we began our star observation! Due to the clouds, the guide had us wait in the car for a while until the clouds cleared. I believe the guides were considerate to ensure we could see the stars in the best possible conditions.

The moment we got out of the car, it felt like the stars were falling right above us!!!! After a while, the clouds covered the sky again, so we moved to another spot to observe the stars. There was some wind, and even when the clouds obscured our view, if we waited a bit, we saw even more stars than before!!!! We could even see the Milky Way clearly!!! Looking sideways, there were stars, and it made me realize that the Earth is round.

Additionally, the guide explained the constellations with a super laser beam, making it feel like an impromptu lecture, which was fun!

What was great about this tour was that it included warm clothing, which is not offered by other tours. Even though we waited outside for a long time without seeing stars, thanks to the warm clothing, I didn’t feel cold at all and enjoyed snacks and drinks. I heard that other tours leave if the stars aren’t visible (in fact, there were no other tour groups around).

Moreover, the guide took photos with a high-quality camera that he purchased out of his own pocket, and we could download them for free! Normally, they would charge for this, but he said, “Memories over records,” and provided this as a service. I deducted one star because it was cloudy and not all stars were visible, which was disappointing.

If you come to the Big Island, I wholeheartedly recommend Masashi Nature School!!! Thank you for everything!!!

主人が、夕日と星空を見たいと言っていたのでこのツアーに参加しました。
まず、順々にホテルから参加者をピックアップしていきます。
この日は、１台のバス満員で１３人参加でした。
（４人参加、カップル参加４組、１人参加）
ハワイ島は広いので、ピックアップに時間かかりますが、途中ちょっとしたお店に寄り、時間を潰したりしました。（約20分）
ガイドさんがとても丁寧に説明して下さり、ハワイ島についての情報など色々教えて頂きました。
富士山よりも標高が高いので、身体を慣れさすために、途中で早めの（16時ぐらい）夕食（お弁当）を取り、トイレに行ったりしました。
高山病を心配しましたが、ガイドさんが登ってる間、水を１０分おきにとること、深呼吸をしっかりすること、絶対に寝ない事！！！ずーっとおっしゃってくれていたので、じゃっかん頭痛を感じたぐらいで、大丈夫でした。山頂の途中で降りた時は、身体がしんどく空気が薄いと感じた初めての体験でした。

山頂に着くと、身体も慣れてきてきました。この日は、あいにく雲が多く雨が降ったり止んだりでしたが、夕日はかろうじて見れて大変感動し、神秘的でした。
山頂から少し下ったところで、いざ★の観察！雲が多く、ガイドさんが雲が履けるまでしばらく車の中で待機していました。
おそらく感動してもらう為に、一番いい状態で見てもらう為にガイドさん達が配慮してくれたのだと思います。
車からでた瞬間、頭上に★が降ってくるかのようでした！！！！
しばらくすると、雲で覆われてしまい、場所を移動しそこで★を観察。風もあったので、
雲がかかって見えなくなっても、しばらく待っているとさっきよりも★が沢山★★★！！！！
なんと天の川もくっきりみえました！！！
真横にみても★があり、地球は丸いんだなーと感じさせられました。
また、ガイドさんが、超レイザービームで星座の説明をして頂き、即席講座みたいな感じで楽しかったです♪

このツアーで良かったのは、他のツアーにはない、防寒具が付いていること。
★が見えなくてかなり外で待っていましたが、防寒具のお陰で、全然寒くなく飲み物お菓子など頂きました。他のツアーだと星がみえないと帰ってしまうそうです。
（実際、他のツアーの方はいませんでした）
また何より、ガイドさんが自腹で購入した超高画質カメラで、写真を撮って頂き、無料でダウンロードできるところ！本来お金を取られるとこですが、”記憶より記録”と言って、サービスだそうです。
★を一個減らしたのは、曇りで全部★というわけではなかったので、残念な気持ちで減らしました。
ハワイ島にきたら、是非、マサシネイチャースクール、心からお勧めします！！！！！
色々ありがとうございました！！！！！

first of all, thanks for support and help for experiencing this amazing activity.
however, it seems that i lost my sunglasses there. So please check whether or not you have any missing sunglasses . If so, please keep it and contact me so that we could recieve it ASAP. it is very meaningful sunglasses to my wife.

your efforts and support would be appreciated.

thanks.

I enjoyed riding a buggy at Kualoa Ranch and fully experiencing the great outdoors! We stopped at key points for photo opportunities, and it was truly fun. Even beginners can safely enjoy this experience!

クアロア牧場にでバギーにのり大自然を満喫！！
要所要所でとまり、写真撮影もできて、本当に楽しかったです★初心者の方でも、安全に体験できますよ

We were all very satisfied with our long-awaited stargazing experience on Maui. The sunset was also breathtaking, and if we visit Hawaii again, I would like to go to Maui this time to see the sunrise.

念願のマウイ島での星空観測で家族みな大満足でした。
サンセットも感動的で、次回ハワイに訪れるならマウイ島で、今度はサンライズを見に行きたいです。

This was our second trip to Maui as well as our second to the Mendes ranch! The staff was very informative once again. They also make you feel welcomed from the start. Thanks to the cowgirls and cowboy for being our guides on this ride! (Plz forgive me for not recalling the names right now)
Will do it again next time we're in Maui!!!

Horseback is maybe the best way to experience the Waipeo Valley. Our guides and horses were very experienced. My only critique is that I wish we'd had more time to talk with the guides-- maybe even after we got back to the stables. It was also a good value for the money, but I'd have paid more for some extra time with them.

I really wanted to ride a horse, so I booked this place since it was close by and I had planned to go skydiving in the morning. As soon as I entered, I spotted a horse! I arrived a bit too early, so I explored the area! Right behind was the beautiful ocean of the North Shore! The location is amazing!

There were two women guiding us, and one of them did her best to explain in Japanese. But it was simple enough to understand. More than that, the horse was so well-behaved that it was quite comfortable.

Along the way, the horse ate grass and pooped. It had a free-spirited vibe that I can't experience in Japan. I definitely want to go again. If possible, I want to be able to ride like a wild samurai.

I went with a friend, but my friend got motion sickness from skydiving, so I ended up riding with a family from the West. They took some photos, and I made great memories!

どうしても馬に乗りたくて、朝スカイダイビングする予定で、すぐ近くだったのでこちらを予約しました。 入り口入ったらすぐ馬発見！案外早く着きすぎたので、近くを探索しました！すぐ裏はノースショアのきれいな海！ロケーションサイコーです！
案内してくれたのは女性2人、1人の女性は頑張って日本語で説明してくれました。でも簡単な説明なので余裕で理解しました。っと言うより馬が良い子過ぎてかなり快適でした。
途中で草を食べたり、ウンチしたり。自由な感じが日本では味わえない雰囲気でした。
また、是非行きたいです。出来れば暴れん坊将軍位乗れるようになりたい。
友達と行ったのですが、友達はスカイダイビング酔いをしてしまい結果私1人と欧米の家族での乗馬でした。写真も撮って頂きいい思い出できました！

This was my first time skydiving and I could not have asked for a more fun experience. The instructor, Emanuel, was very helpful, laid back, and made me feel comfortable. The view from 14,000 feet was spectacular, we could see pearl harbor from where we jumped!

I considered a 1.5 or 2-hour course but ultimately participated in the 1-hour course, and I had a great time walking through the grasslands with the mountains in the background, climbing and descending the mountain trails. I think there were mostly Japanese participants, and we walked in a line as a group of about 20 horses. Some horses started eating grass or strayed from the line, but each time, the staff would call out in Japanese, saying things like "Pull the reins!" Additionally, two staff members at the front and back would come to give instructions to the horses, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy the horseback riding. The staff were friendly and it was a very pleasant experience.

1.5か2時間コースも検討し結局1時間コースに参加しましたが、山道を登ったり下ったり山をバックに草原を歩いたりで十分楽しめました。ほぼ日本人だったと思いますが20頭くらいのグループで一列に並んで歩いて行くのですが、馬によっては草を食べ始めたり列を外れたりするのですが、そのたびに「綱を引いて～」等と日本語で声かけしてくれました。また前後の2人のスタッフが馬に指示を出しに来てくれたりで安心して乗馬を楽しめました。スタッフの方もフレンドリーでとても良かったです。
