ノースショア(ハレイワ)観光 ハレイワタウンで3時間の自由散策+ドールプランテーション!海辺の絶景を楽しめる乗馬付き(70分)プランあり<1日/送迎付き>
The driver was kind.
ドライバーさんが親切でした
Activity Date: 2015/07/12 | Posted on: 2015/08/02

I chose the free time plan because I wanted to relax in the town of Haleiwa. During the waiting time, I had the opportunity to talk with the driver and shared our action plan (wanting to eat garlic shrimp and chicken from Fumi's, and enjoy some Matsumoto's Shave Ice, as well as relax at the beach). The driver kindly offered to guide us. Since there were only two small groups exploring Haleiwa, we might have been lucky, but we stopped at the shrimp and chicken place to shop, and then he took us to the beach. With small children in tow, we were quite relieved not to have to move around on our own.

At the beach, we encountered a downpour and enjoyed shrimp and chicken in the rain, which was delicious. Within the limited time, we were able to efficiently achieve our goals, and I felt that participating in this tour was worthwhile. I thoroughly enjoyed Haleiwa.

I have one request for Veltra: while it states that the tour fee includes a tip, it would be helpful if you could specify how much the tip amount is. Since the driver was very kind, I was unsure how much to give as a tip, and knowing the included tip amount would make it easier to decide how much to give on the spot. I'm not very familiar with tipping customs.

ハレイワの街でゆっくりしたかったので、フリータイムプランを選びました。
待ち時間にドライバーさんと話す機会があったので、自分達の行動プラン(フリフリチキンとガーリックシュリンプ、マツモトシェイブアイスを食べたいこと、ビーチでゆっくり過ごしたいこと)を伝えると、案内してくださるとのこと。(ハレイワの街を散策するグループは2組で少人数だったので、運がよかったのかもしれませんが、)シュリンプ・チキンのお店で車を止めて頂き買い物し、その後、ビーチまで連れて行ってくださいました。小さな子供連れでしたので、自分達の足での移動が不安だったので、大変助かりました。
ビーチではスコールに遭遇し、雨の中、シュリンプやチキンを頂きましたが美味しかったです。
限られた時間の中で、効率的に目的を果たすことができて、このツアーに参加して得をした気持ちになりました。ハレイワを満喫できました。

Veltraさんに1点お願いがありまして、ツアー代金にチップを含むとありますが、チップ代がいくらなのかを明記して頂けると、わかりやすく助かります。ドライバーさんに親切にして頂いたので、チップをいくら渡すべきか悩み、ツアー代に含まれるチップ代がいくらかがわかると、その場で渡すチップの額を考えやすいと思いました。チップの習慣に不慣れですので。

ノースショア(ハレイワ)観光 ハレイワタウンで3時間の自由散策+ドールプランテーション!海辺の絶景を楽しめる乗馬付き(70分)プランあり<1日/送迎付き>
This year, I'm feeling great with canyon horseback riding!
今年も渓谷乗馬でるんるん気分
Activity Date: 2015/07/27 | Posted on: 2015/07/31

Last year, I went horseback riding in the canyon with my grandchild, and we did it twice during our stay this year as well. You might wonder why we went twice in two days, but that's how enjoyable it is. If you have the time, leisure, and budget, it's definitely worth trying. I've experienced other horseback riding activities, but so far, this is my favorite.

The owner, Mr. ○○, is friendly and provides thorough instructions on how to ride and control the horse. The course includes ups and downs and runs through wooded areas without a lead rope, and before you know it, the horseback riding time is over while enjoying views of Haleiwa Bay below.

If I can go to Hawaii again next year, I will likely go horseback riding again. I want to share more of my experiences, but seeing is believing, and everyone has different senses and ways to enjoy things, so I can't say much more. However, I definitely encourage you to try it!

 昨年に続き今年も孫と一緒に渓谷乗馬を行いました。それも、滞在中2回も。
 何で2回、二日間もと思われるかもしれませんが、それが楽しいんです、時間と暇と予算があれば、やってみる価値がありますね、他の乗馬体験もしましたが、今のところ、ここが一番気に入っています。
 オーナーの○○さんも、気さくで乗馬のやり方、馬の操縦方法を丁寧にレクチャーしてくれます。
 コースもアップダウンや木立の中を引き綱無しで走行し、途中ハレイワの湾を眼下に見てあっという間の乗馬時間でした。
 おそらく、来年ハワイに行ければ、また乗馬をするでしょう。
 もっと体験したことを書きたいのですが、百聞は一見にしかず、人それぞれに感覚、楽しみ方が違うので、何ともいえませんが、是非体験してみてください。

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供!<夕食付き/英語ガイド>by マサシネイチャースクール
A treasure for a lifetime!
一生の宝物!
Activity Date: 2015/07/24 | Posted on: 2015/07/30

I chose this tour based on the experiences and reviews I read beforehand, and it was definitely the right choice! The saying "Seeing is believing" really holds true; participating in the tour allowed me to experience the atmosphere that can't be conveyed through reviews. The cool temperatures and thin air near the summit, which are hard to imagine in the coastal town of Kailua, became real for me only after climbing to 4,000 meters! The sky above the sea of clouds was clearer and bluer than I had imagined, and I could feel the sunlight hitting my skin directly, making it warm. Of course, one of the main events, the sunset viewing, was as beautiful as rumored. The sky afterward looked like a large canvas, with stunning gradients of red, orange, yellow, purple, blue, and white that captivated everyone watching. The other main event, stargazing, felt like watching a planetarium, thanks to our guide's fun and easy-to-understand explanations of constellations and stars. Additionally, we were able to observe Saturn and the moon through a telescope, and the guidance on astrophotography was greatly appreciated. Along the way, we also had the chance to observe rare alpine plants that we wouldn't normally see, and the explanations about the climate and terrain made the tour even more enriching. Overall, there were many moments to fully engage our senses, and my family and I were extremely satisfied. Next time, I definitely want to join the sunrise tour!

事前に読んだ体験談や口コミ情報を参考にこのツアーを選択しましたが、大正解!!「百聞は一見に如かず」とはよく言ったもので、実際に参加してみて、体験談や口コミ等では伝わってこないその場の空気感がたまらなくよかったです。海岸沿いのカイルアの街では想像しにくい「頂上付近の気温の低さや空気の薄さ」は、4000mに登ってみて初めて実感に変わりました!また、雲海上の空は、想像よりも青く澄んでいましたし、日の光もストレートに攻めてくる感じで肌が熱くなるのを感じました。もちろん、メインイベントの一つである「夕日鑑賞」は、うわさ通りの美しさでした。その後の空は、大きなキャンバスのようで、赤、橙、黄、紫、青、白といった色彩が美しいグラデーションとなり、観る者達をうっとりとさせていました。もう一つのメインイベントである「星空観測」は、ガイドさんの楽しくてわかりやすい星座や星についての解説付きで、プラネタリウムを見ているようでした。さらに、天体望遠鏡で土星や月の観測をさせてくれたり、天体撮影の指導もしてくれたりと、大変ありがたかったです。そのほかにも、道すがら、普段見ることができない貴重な高山植物を観察させてくれたり、気候や地形についても解説してくれたりして、とにかくツアー中は、五感をフル活用する場面が多く家族共々大満足でした。今度は、せひサンライズのツアーに参加してみたいです。

ノースショア(ハレイワ)観光 ハレイワタウンで3時間の自由散策+ドールプランテーション!海辺の絶景を楽しめる乗馬付き(70分)プランあり<1日/送迎付き>
It was supposed to include the tip, but...
チップ込のはずでしたが・・・
Posted on: 2015/07/29

I wanted to go horseback riding, so I looked for a plan that included transportation. Since I had been to Kualoa before, I decided to join this tour where we could visit various sightseeing spots and also go horseback riding.

Honestly, as an experienced rider, I found the horseback riding a bit lacking, and my husband, who has almost no experience, felt that he was just being carried by the horse and didn't find it enjoyable. (I don't expect a beginner to be able to control a horse.) However, the scenery was very beautiful.

One downside was that although it was supposed to include tips, there was a sign in the waiting room for horseback riding in Japanese stating that tips were not included in the tour. There were also two Americans participating separately who paid tips, and we ended up paying separately from the tour fee as well.

Additionally, for lunch, the guide ordered garlic shrimp for us to take out, but we had already paid in advance, so we couldn't use our coupon, and we didn't receive any change. The guide wasn't a bad person, but... it was disappointing.

とりあえず乗馬がしたい。という目的で送迎付のプランで探したところ、クアロアには前回行ったので、いろいろ観光地を回れて乗馬もできるこちらのツアーに参加させていただきました。
正直、乗馬は経験者の私には物足りなく、経験がゼロに等しい主人も馬が乗せてくれてる感が強く、おもしろさはなかったとのことでした。(素人が馬を制御できるとは思いませんが)。ただ、景色はとてもよかったです。ただ、チップ込のはずが、乗馬に待合室には日本語でツアーにはチップが含まれていません~という張り紙がしてあり、私たちのほかに別口でアメリカ人の二人組が参加していてチップを払っていて、私たちもツアー料金と別で払いました。
また、昼食にガーリックシュリンプをテイクアウトでガイドさんが注文しておいてくれたのですが、支払いも先に済ませてしまっていて、クーポン券が使用できなかった上、お釣りももらえませんでした。
ガイドさんは悪い人ではなかったのですが・・・。残念です。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
However, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding the tip and lunch.

I have shared your experience with the tour provider. The tips for the activities you participated in are included in the fee, but since the horseback riding venue is operated by a different company, tips are optional. I apologize for the lack of information provided to you.

Regarding lunch, if you have a coupon, please let the driver know when they explain lunch, and we will accommodate you. I also sincerely apologize for the issue with the change. I would like to process a refund, so I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

Based on your valuable feedback, we will strive to improve our services in the future. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us.

絶景スカイダイビング 一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>
A wonderful experience.
素晴らしい経験
Posted on: 2015/07/28

This time, only my husband flew. He was really moved by the wonderful experience. The tip for the person flying with you is $20. There were various opinions about this, but personally, I believe that the person flying with you is someone you entrust your life to. It’s only natural to pay, and it is definitely worth it. I hope everyone will pay it.

今回夫だけが、飛びました。本当に素晴らしい体験が出来たと感動していました。一緒に飛んでくれる人へのチップが20ドル。これに対して色んな意見がありましたが、私的には共に飛んでくれる人。命を預ける人です。支払って当然だし、またその価値が十分あります。ぜひに皆払って欲しいです。

It was a starry sky that felt like something you can only see in a planetarium in Japan. I was worried because the car was so comfortable that I became really sleepy.

Activity Date: 2015/07/18 | Posted on: 2015/07/23

Stargazing with my family. Mats was just the best!! He was so energetic and fun, like the Jungle Cruise guy from Disney. Since we gradually drove up, I didn't have to worry about oxygen shortage, and everything went smoothly. The bento with charcoal-grilled chicken was delicious. I was moved by Subaru, amazed by the green flash, and above all, I was captivated by the starry sky!! Next time, I want to join for the dawn!

家族で星空観測。とにかくマッツさんが最高!!
ディ●ニーのジャングルクルーズのお兄さんって感じでとにかくテンション高く面白たのしい。

It seems that we couldn't ascend to 4000 meters, so there was a partial refund, but we still had a great time. The breathtaking views from above were wonderful and mystical. I was satisfied to have had such a valuable experience.

絶景スカイダイビング 一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>
The service is the worst.
サービスは最低
Activity Date: 2015/07/15 | Posted on: 2015/07/15

The plan started at 9 AM. We gathered before 6 AM, and everything was finished around 9:30 AM. However, we were left waiting, and we could board the return shuttle only at 12:30 PM, nearly three hours later. There’s nothing around the airport, so we just had to wait idly. It might be fine for those with a flexible schedule, but it’s not suitable for regular tourists. In the end, we ended up returning with a team that arrived before noon, and I don’t understand why we had to wake up early. If possible, it would be better to come by rental car instead of relying on the pickup.

Also, it says that if you don’t reach 14,000 ft, it’s free, but that’s a lie. They use the weather as an excuse (which may be true), and you are made to jump from 8,000 ft, receiving only the difference in price from the 8,000 ft plan as a refund. There’s nothing mentioned about this on the official website of the operating company. Anyway, it’s fine for those who don’t care about the height as long as they can jump, but it’s better not to overtrust the "absolute guarantee" claims.

朝9時スタートのプランでした。6時前に集合し、すべて終了したのは9時半頃。
しかし、それから放置され、帰りのシャトルに乗れたのは3時間近くたった12時30分。空港の周りは何もないのでひたすらボーッと待つだけです。スケジュールに余裕のある人ならいいですが、普通の観光客には不向きです。結局、昼前に着いたチームと一緒に帰ることになり、早く起きた理由がわかりません。可能なら、ピックアップではなくレンタカーで自ら来た方が良いです。
また、高度14000ftに達しなかったら無料と書いてありますが嘘です。天候の理由にして(実際そうかもしれませんが)8000ftからジャンプさせられ、8000ftプランとの差額しか返金しません。催行会社の公式Webにも、そのようなことは一切書いてありません。とにかく、高さは気にしないから飛べればいい、という人はいいですが、「絶対保証」の謳い文句を過信しない方が良いです。

ノースショア(ハレイワ)観光 ハレイワタウンで3時間の自由散策+ドールプランテーション!海辺の絶景を楽しめる乗馬付き(70分)プランあり<1日/送迎付き>
North Shore, a rural town in Hawaii!
ハワイの田舎街ノースショア!
Activity Date: 2015/06/15 | Posted on: 2015/07/14

We booked a North Shore free plan for just the two of us. While waiting at the meeting point near the Hilton Hawaiian Village where we were staying, a high-energy guy showed up in the morning. He immediately started cracking jokes typical of Japanese uncles, and since we had just participated in a tour where no Japanese was spoken until the day before, we were relieved to find that we could communicate easily in Japanese.

After picking up guests from other hotels, we set off for the North Shore with a total of about ten people! Throughout the ride, he kept up a machine-gun style of talking (laughs). He shared various things, from the latest trends in Waikiki to the sad history of Hawaii. Apparently, he had been an announcer until recently, so talking was his job. That made sense (laughs).

When he asked if we wanted to take a picture of that famous tree, which costs $3, we took a vote in the car and unanimously decided to pass, saying we weren't interested enough to pay $3. It was very nice that he not only followed the usual route but also listened to our preferences.

Upon arriving at the Dole Plantation, we lined up a bit to buy the classic soft serve. The pineapple flavor was rich and delicious! He also informed us that while there are several shrimp trucks, the ones here are not good, so we ended up going to the famous Macky's. It was incredibly tasty! Sparrows and colorful birds were friendly, and everyone was feeding them rice grains, creating a warm atmosphere.

Since there were also groups for the maze plan and horseback riding, we split off from them. We were on the free plan, so we were dropped off in the town of North Shore where Japanese wasn't spoken (laughs). Feeling a bit anxious, we enjoyed shopping at retro surf shops and other places. The rural side of Hawaii is lovely, quite different from the urban Waikiki.

We had to give up on Matsumoto Shave Ice due to the long line and lack of time. When I asked a kind lady how to get to a recommended beach in my broken English, she advised me, "The nearby beach is next to the harbor, so it's dirty. The beautiful Sunset Beach is a tough distance to walk to."

I regretted not having driven there, but it couldn't be helped. We waited for our cheerful driver and headed to the next destination, a beach where we could see sea turtles. We encountered two sea turtles. Our driver had warned us to stay quiet and not to get too close to avoid stressing them out, so we quietly took pictures with zoom. However, a Chinese tourist stood right in front of a turtle's face, and despite the sand getting on the turtle due to the unstable sand on the beach, they were loudly taking pictures, which was quite upsetting.

It seems that Chinese tourists are the same everywhere, and I find them difficult to deal with. Hawaii is focused on protecting endangered animals like sea turtles, and apparently, there’s a fine for getting closer than two meters. If they feel stressed, they won’t come back to bask on the beach, so those going in the future should be careful not to get too close.

After a fulfilling North Shore tour, the machine-gun talk continued on the way back to Waikiki, and I fell into a deep sleep with that as my lullaby. At first, I thought the free plan was a bit pricey at over $50, but considering the distance we would have had to travel by bus or car, I’m glad we chose the tour. The driver’s stories were sometimes tough to listen to, especially when he was bragging about his daughter, but otherwise, I learned a lot of interesting things and about Hawaii's history. Most importantly, he was friendly and approachable, which was great.

If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to visit the North Shore once more. It was a wonderful, nostalgic town that really made me feel good.

夫婦ふたりでノースショアフリープランを予約しました。
宿泊しているヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ近くの集合場所で待っていると、朝からハイテンションなおじさんが登場。思いっきり日本のおじさん的なギャグを連発され、前日まで日本語が通じないツアーに参加していた私達はクラッとすると共に日本語が余裕で通じることに安堵。
他のホテルでもピックアップして、総勢10名程でノースショアへ向け出発!その間ずーっとマシンガントーク(笑)
最近のワイキキでの流行りからハワイの悲しい歴史まで様々なことを教えてくれる。最近までアナウンサーをしていて喋るのが仕事だったらしい。なるほど(笑)
この木なんの木は、撮るのに3$かかるけどどうする?と聞かれ車内で多数決の結果、全会一致で『3$払うほどは興味ないのでパス』となりスルー。こういうふうに、マニュアル通りのルートにただ連れて行ってくれるだけではなく希望をきいてくれるのは非常にありがたかった。
ドールプランテーションに到着し、定番のソフトクリームを少し並んで購入。パイナップルの味が濃くて美味しい!
『シュリンプ屋のバンもいくつかあるけど、ここは不味いよ』とか教えてくれて結局有名なマッキーズへ。
最高に美味しかった!スズメやカラフルな鳥たちも人馴れしていて、みんな米粒を与えたり仲良くしていて和む。
迷路プランや乗馬プランのグループも一緒だったので、途中から別行動。私達はフリープランだったので日本語の通じないノースショアの街に放りだされ(笑)、不安になりつつもレトロな街のサーフショップ等で買い物を楽しむ。
都会なワイキキとはまた違う田舎なハワイもまた素敵だ。
マツモトシェイブアイスは噂通り行列のため時間がなく諦める。
つたない英語でおすすめのビーチへの行き方を尋ねると、『近くのビーチは港と隣接しているから汚い、綺麗なサンセットビーチは歩いて行くのはキツい距離だ』
と親切な婦人にアドバイスされる。
車でくれば良かったか…と後悔したが、仕方ない。陽気なドライバーさんを待ち、皆で次の目的地、ウミガメに会えるというビーチへ向かう。
2匹のウミガメに会えた。
私達はドライバーさんに『ウミガメがいても、ストレスになるので騒いだり近寄ったりしないこと』と注意を受けていたので静かにズームで写真を撮るなか、中国人ツアー客がウミガメの顔面の前ギリギリに立ち、砂浜でバランスが悪いためウミガメの顔に砂がかかっていても気にせずギャーギャーと写真撮影をしていて気分を害す。
やはり中国人観光客はどこにいても同じで苦手だ。
ハワイではウミガメなどの絶滅危惧動物の保護に力を入れていて、2メートル以上近づくと罰金らしい。
ストレスかかるともうその浜には甲羅干ししに寄らなくなってしまうそうなので、これから行く方は近寄り過ぎないよう注意したほうがよさそう。
充実したノースショア観光を終えワイキキへ戻る車中でも、マシンガントークはとどまるところを知らず、それを子守歌代わりに深い眠りへ。
最初はフリープランで50$以上は高いかなぁと思っていたが、やはり行き帰りの距離を自力でバスや車で行くことを考えるとツアーにして良かったと思う。ドライバーさんのトークも、娘の自慢話が続いたときは興味がなく辛かったが、それ以外ではへぇ~知らなかった!と思うことやハワイの歴史も知れたし、何より気さくな方で親しみやすくて良かった。
またハワイにいくことがあれば、ノースショアにはもう一度いきたいなぁ。
ノスタルジックな気分に浸れる、素敵な素敵な街でした。

The guide, Ms. Ha, created a very bright atmosphere and made the experience enjoyable. While driving and guiding us about the Big Island, we were able to take photos with a high-performance DSLR camera! We got a great commemorative picture with the Milky Way in the background. The explanation of constellations by the other guide, Mr. Konno, was very easy to understand, and I was amazed at how clearly the shapes of the constellations could be seen with stars visible up to the sixth magnitude. The starry sky was very satisfying, but due to a demonstration, we couldn't reach the summit, and we couldn't see the sunset clearly because of the clouds, so I give it 4 stars! I would like to try again.

ガイドの葉さんはとっても明るい雰囲気で盛り上げてくれました。ハワイ島のことをガイドしながらのドライビングに、高性能一眼レフカメラでの撮影!ばっちり天の川バックに記念写真を撮っていただくことができました。もう一人のガイドさんであるコンノさんの星座の説明はとってもわかりやすくて、6等星くらいまで星がみえるとこんなにも星座形がくっきりわかるのかと、感動でした。星空は大満足ですが、デモの関係で山頂まで行けず、雲でサンセットがしっかりとみれなかったので、☆4つ!またリベンジしたいです。

North Shore Skydiving Adventure Tour with Oceanview - GoJump Hawaii
Pacific Skydiving=awesome experience!!!
Activity Date: 2015/07/08 | Posted on: 2015/07/11

Went skydiving for the first time on our honeymoon and it couldn't have been a better experience than what we had! We had Patrick and Andy as our instructors and they were full of personality and very calm- which really put us at ease. We loved them so much we each tipped them $50. We're hooked now and actually contemplated going again while in Hawaii but decided we've spent enough and going to try the other side of the spectrum=skydiving back home in Colorado!! Researched a lot before going and this place by far had some of the best reviews! Best deal I found in research was this site - literally spent hours on Hawaii discount sites!

This was a wonderful activity. The guides are knowledgable, patient, and friendly. Be sure to wear your bug repellant on the hike. It takes a little time to get going, but the tips for proper kayaking/zipping and safety are well worth it!! A special shout out to Mahow (Heavenly Mist) and Aaron, you're AWESOME.

Paradise Eco-Adventures - Lahaina Zipline Tour, Aquaball Ride & Fruit Tasting
We had a ball zipping above the dragon fruit farm!
Activity Date: 2015/07/09 | Posted on: 2015/07/10

Today my early teen son and I did the zipline and aquaball adventure combo, along with another small group of three other participants. As the morning progressed our group and theirs became friends, this is because we were in a safe environment with a friendly accommodating staff having a great time.
When we arrived at the farm Angelica greeted us with fresh cut perfectly ripened fruit: two varieties of dragon fruit and pineapple. The location was easy to find, has a large parking area and is aesthetically charming.
Our the zipline and aquaball guides, Jen and Jake were very personable and cared about our safety. Jen gave a brief demo on the pollination process of the dragon fruit and other facts regarding the farm as well as answered all our questions.
The zipline is very beginner and basic with great views of either the ocean or the mountain as you zip effortlessly over the dragon fruit plants below. I would not recommend this zipline for someone seeking more than a beginner level. My son loved every zip and would have gone all day long had that been an option for us. I have ziplined prior and was still able to enjoy the experience.
I highly recommend the aquaball - we loved it so much as did all the participants in our group. Its unique and only got better with the second run. Giving the chance I would definitely do it again. My son agrees.

Overall experience: we left happier than we arrived and felt grateful for the opportunity to try something new. Thank you everyone at Lahaina Fruit Farm.

Mountain leisure in Hawaii
ハワイで山のレジャー
Activity Date: 2015/07/05 | Posted on: 2015/07/08

Since I had only played in the ocean in Hawaii, I was interested in horseback riding this time and tried it for the first time. I participated in a one-hour horseback riding session with a group of about 15 people, mostly Japanese, riding in a line. We watched a safety video, chose our horses one by one, received a brief explanation of how to operate them, and then set off.

Along the way, the horses sometimes stopped to graze or for bathroom breaks. The view of Kualoa Beach and the mountains from the horse was amazing! Since it was a sport, my butt started to hurt towards the end, and I found one hour to be just right.

Since check-in was at 11:15, I had breakfast in Kailua after picking up a rental car in the morning and headed to Kualoa. The roads were easy to navigate, and it felt great to drive along the beach.

I arrived early, but there were dining options and souvenir shops, and I was able to see the horses up close and take photos, so it was good to arrive early. There was also a stray cat that was very cute.

ハワイでは海でしか遊んだ事が無かったので、今回乗馬に興味があり、初めて挑戦しました。
1時間の乗馬に参加し、グループはほぼ日本人で15人くらい1列になって山馬に乗ってを歩いて行きました。安全のビデオを見て、1人ずつ馬を選んでもらい、簡単な操作の説明を受けて出発しました。
途中馬が道草を食ったり、トイレの為に止まる事もあります。馬から見えるクアロアビーチや山の様子は最高でした‼︎
スポーツですので最後の方でお尻が痛くなり、私は1時間で丁度良かったです。

11:15チェックインという事でしたので、朝からレンタカーでカイルアで朝ごはんを食べ、クアロアへ向かいました。道も分かりやすく、ビーチ沿いに走っていくのでとても気持ち良かったです。
早めに着きましたが、食堂やお土産やさんがあり、そして馬を間近で見て写真撮影などが出来るので早めに着いて良かったです。
野良猫?がおりとても可愛らしかったです。

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
Conflicted ~ Good/Not So Good
Activity Date: 2015/06/30 | Posted on: 2015/07/07

We had 3 athletic families attend this trip with adults and teens. The kayaking was BEAUTIFUL on the way 'in' to the hike (current and wind assisting). The hike itself was a bust and we all like to hike. Our guide left us to our own devices for most of this trip and was of little guidance. Even wading through the water to the hike our guide took us the more difficult route. We know this because on our return to the kayaks a couple of us followed a different guides route across the river which was so much simpler and safer! The hike was muddy and slippery despite having good water/hiking shoes. We had adults/kids fall many times and one significant injury. Others had already slipped in this location yet our guide offered no help or alternative. In early July, unfortunately the waterfall yielded little water. The hike not worth the end result. We did enjoy the 'work out' aspect of the kayak trip back. It was beautiful but challenging going against the current if you aren't a regular kayaker.

At a minimum: I'd rate this a moderate adventure and challenging for individuals who aren't regularly very active.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals
Fun and unique!
Activity Date: 2015/07/04 | Posted on: 2015/07/07

We had a great time on this trip and I would recommend it. It is definitely a unique experience and something we'll probably never be able to do elsewhere. Kaleigh and Aaron were our guides and they were great!!!

The only thing I'd change is giving customers an option to be on a tour that includes lunch/picnic or a tour that just does the tubing. We would have preferred heading back to the beach versus the lunch/picnic time. Maybe different times can offer different options throughout the day.

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>
An unforgettable experience
忘れられない体験
Activity Date: 2015/06/23 | Posted on: 2015/07/06

I participated alone this time, but there were others who joined solo as well, and everyone had a friendly atmosphere, making it a truly enjoyable time. In addition to the wonderful sunset and the starry sky at the summit, the best part was the thoughtful care from our guide, Yamapi, which made it an unforgettable experience. I noticed other noisy tours and some that seemed rushed and focused only on efficiency, but if you're planning to climb Haleakalā, I absolutely recommend this one! Next time, I want to bring my parents to share the same wonderful experience.

今回は一人参加だったのですが、同じように一人で参加されてる方もいたり皆さんフレンドリーなムードで本当に楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。山頂の素晴らしい夕陽と満点の星空に加えて、何よりガイドのやまぴーさんのさりげなく最高の気遣いで忘れられない体験となりました。他には騒がしいツアーや、効率だけの慌ただしそうなツアーも見受けられましたがもしハレアカラに登られるのであれば絶対こちらがオススメです!次は両親を連れて同じ素晴らしい経験をさせてあげたいと思います。

We aim to conduct tours that are as relaxed as possible. Many participants join alone, but on the way back, everyone returns in a "shared ride" state (laughs). Next time, please be sure to bring your parents along. The photos turned out beautifully; they are wonderful.

なるべくゆったりとしたツアーを遂行するのを目指しております。お1人で参加される方もかなり多いのですが、帰りは皆さん「あいのり」状態で帰られます(笑)。今度はご両親を連れて是非いらっしゃってください。お写真綺麗に撮れていて、素晴らしいです。

Since it was close to a full moon, I felt there weren't many stars, and I thought the starry sky at my parents' house was more beautiful. The sunset was very pretty. The guide's boring jokes were a bit much, and I felt tired trying to keep up with them.

満月に近い日ということで、イマイチ星が少なく感じ、実家の星空が綺麗だぞと思っていました。サンセットはとてもきれいでした。ガイドさんのつまらないギャグも今一歩で付き合うのに疲れる感じでした

Thank you very much for participating in our tour. With the full moon, there were fewer stars due to the moonlight. Please join us again during the new moon next time. Nature School.

As a group of 8 ladies we were not really sure what we would be getting ourselves into when we booked this tour, but from the moment we arrived we were sure that this would be a fun but safe adventure. The organisation and the safety talks all reassured us that these people know what they are doing.. We all had a ball and lots of laughs and all come away saying what a great time we had.

I signed up for the canyon horseback riding plan, but as we got closer to the North Shore, the weather looked suspicious... Due to bad weather, the canyon horseback riding was canceled. However, thanks to the driver's response, I was able to participate in a beach horseback riding tour. (Since the canyon horseback riding was more expensive, I received a refund for the difference later.) The tour itself was conducted with a small group, and since the participants on the day could express their preferences (like wanting to eat shrimp and needing to return to Waikiki by 4:00 PM), it was great.

渓谷乗馬プラン で申し込みましたが、ノースショアが近づくにつれて怪しい雲行き。。。
天候不良のため渓谷乗馬は中止になってしまいました。しかしドライバーさんの対応によって浜辺の乗馬ツアーをさせていただきました。(渓谷乗馬のほうがツアー代が高かったため、余剰分は後日返金していただきました。)
ツアー自体も少人数での催行で、当日のツアー参加者の希望で決める形であったため色々と希望をきいていただき(シュリンプが食べたい。16:00までにワイキキに帰りたいなど)、良かったです。
