All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

Someone mentioned in the comments that the quality of the tour depends on the weather and the guide, and I truly felt that was the case! Our guide, U, provided wonderful explanations and was very considerate. Although the vehicle was full, it turned out to be a fun and fulfilling day.

The canyon horseback riding at Happy Trails was my first experience, and I was nervous, but I would love to try it again. We had lunch at Mackey's, and unexpectedly had time for shopping in Haleiwa, making it a truly lovely tour. Thank you very much!

どなたかの感想欄に、ツアーの良し悪しは、天気とガイド次第とありましたが、その通りだと実感！ガイドUさんは、丁寧な説明と気遣いも素晴らしく、車は満員でしたが、楽しく充実した一日となりました。
渓谷乗馬Happy Trailsは、初めてでドキドキでしたが、またトライしたいです。
マッキーズで昼食、思いがけずハレイワでの買い物の時間もあり、大変素敵なツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

It was the best experience! Looking down from the mountain and the fear of jumping was intense, but it was an amazing experience! The staff was really high-energy! I had told them in advance not to spin around in English, but they spun me around anyway... However, after spinning, they checked in with me saying, "OK?" so that was still good.

My tandem staff was really cool, and after we landed, he quietly folded the parachute while I had no idea what to do. But when I watched the video, I was surprised to see him having a blast while we were flying (ﾟДﾟ;). After it was over, I had to wait quite a while for the CD-R. It was slow, so when I went to the reception, I found a box with the CD-R inside, and when I asked, it had already arrived a long time ago. I wish they had communicated that sooner.

I had booked through Veltra without a pickup, but when I arrived in Japan, I was surprised to receive an email from the skydiving company confirming the pickup time, saying, "I'm worried. Please contact me." I also wished they would have replied saying it was a mistake if it was indeed an error.

最高の経験でした！
山を上から見下ろし、飛び降りる時の怖さは半端ないけどすごく良い経験ができました！
スタッフたちはかなり、テンションが高いです！
前もって英語でグルグル回らないでねって伝えてあったのに、グルグル回られました・・・。
でも、回ったあとに『OK？』と確認してくれてたのでまだ、良いです。

私のタンデムスタッフはすごくクールで、着地した後は黙々とパラシュートをたたんでいて、私はどうしたら良いのかわかりませんでした。
でも、ムービーを見ると飛んでいる時はメチャメチャはしゃいでいて、ビックリしました(ﾟДﾟ;)
終わった後にCD-R待ちで、かなり待たされました。
遅いので受付に行くと箱にCD-Rが入っていて、尋ねるととっくに届いていました。
早く伝えてほしかったです。


ベルトラでの予約では送迎なしにしていたのに、日本に着くとスカイダイビングから送迎時間確認のメール『心配です。連絡ください。』と届いていてビックリしました。
また、間違えなら間違えましたと返信もしてほしかったです。

As a solo traveller from the UK it was a bit of a lucky dip as there are other providers of similar tours to this one.....worth every penny!our tour guide was Blake,he was very knowledgeable and friendly the sunset was truly amazing and the star gazing was fun and I learned alot about some of the stars..the telescopes was very good pieces of kit and we even saw the moon rising from the cloud horizon which was amazing too....we were very lucky with the weather conditions it wasn't windy at all,still a bit chilly on the summit tho..the parka jackets were good quality and clean....I could carry on,but gonna leave it here as amazing well worth it....one small note,the gloves supplied keep your hands warm but don't make it easy to take pictures on small cameras and mobile phones.

I was a bit worried since we were going over 4,000 meters, but thanks to the great arrangements made by Matsuzaki, there were no issues at all. The full moon was just a few days away, so we couldn't see a 100% starry sky due to the moonlight, but we enjoyed it enough. The sunset was amazing. I want to take my family and go again.

標高4,000メートルを超えるので少し心配でしたが、案内してくれた松崎さんのナイスアレンジで全く問題がありませんでした。もう数日で満月だったので月明かりで100%の星空とはいきませんでしたが十分にエンジョイしました。夕陽は最高でした。家族を連れて もう一度行ってみたいと思っています

Fortunately, it wasn't cold when we went. The guide provided detailed explanations about the constellations, and even someone like me who knows nothing about them had a great time. Above all, I will never forget the excitement of seeing the moon through the telescope. While others were looking, they served cookies and warm tea, which helped keep us cozy. They also took a lot of photos, and we could download them freely, so I highly recommend this experience!

私たちが行った時はラッキーなことに寒くありませんでした。
ガイドさんが星座について詳しく説明してくれて何もわからない私でもすごく楽しめました。
何より望遠鏡で月を見た時の感動は忘れられません。
他の人たちが見ている時にはクッキーや暖かい紅茶などをふるまってくれて体もあったまりました。
写真もたくさん取ってくれてダウンロードも自由にできるので至れり尽くせりでお勧めです！

My main purpose on the Big Island was to observe the stars at Mauna Kea, so I joined this tour. The bus was full with 13 people. The guide talked almost the entire way there, which kept it from being boring. At various points, we also had opportunities for photos, which was a nice memory since I was traveling alone. Both the sunset and the starry sky were truly beautiful. The guide was very knowledgeable about cameras and taught us a lot, allowing me to take the best photos.

ハワイ島ではマウナケア山の星空観測が第一目的だったので、こちらのツアーに参加しました。ツアーのバスは13人で満席でした。ガイドさんは行きはほぼしゃべり通しで、退屈せずにすみました。所々のポイントでは写真撮影もしてくれて、一人旅だったので記念になりました。サンセットも星空観測も本当に綺麗でした。ガイドさんはカメラに
非常に詳しく色々教えてくれて最高の写真が撮れました。

From meeting Sarah in the office to touring with Bob the helicopter pilot, everything was terrific. Bob was informative during the tour pointing out things of interest and made sure that passengers on both sides could see. My sister and I took our 86 year old mother to accomplish an item on her bucket list. She loved it!

This was by far so great!!! We will be attending again!!!!

Since I heard about my professor's honeymoon trip to Mauna Kea, it has been a place I've longed to visit. It was colder than I expected! However, the scenery was even more beautiful than I imagined, leaving me speechless. (There were restrooms available at various locations, so no worries there.) The bento and warm miso soup we had on the way were delicious! My husband finished everything. The stargazing after the sunset was incredibly fun—like a real planetarium! We took a lot of photos, and both the starry sky and the memories are perfect!

大学の先生から新婚旅行でマウナケアに行った話を聞いてからずっと憧れの場所でした。
予想以上に寒い！だけど、景色も予想以上に綺麗で言葉を失うほどでした。
（お手洗いは各所に設置されていて心配無用でした）
行く途中で食べたお弁当とあったかーいお味噌汁はおいしかった！主人は完食してました。
夕焼けの後の天体観測もすごーく楽しかったです
リアルプラネタリウム！写真もたくさん撮っていただき、星空も思い出も満点(満天)です！

The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds was a beauty that felt otherworldly. Staff member Sue provided clear explanations about the summit of Mauna Kea, the observatory, and the constellations, and we had a wonderful time enjoying each other's company with the other participants.

雲海に沈む太陽此の世のものと思えない美しさでした。スタッフのスーさんが分かりやすく、マウナケア山頂、天文台、星座の説明してくれて、参加したメンバーとも和気藹々で楽しく過ごせました。

This was the first time my boyfriend and I were in Hawaii and ziplining and both Chelsea and Jessie were awesome. Asking about everything we had done so far and they were just as excited about the ziplining tour as we were. They gave us so much history of the area and the whole thing was awesome! I would highly recommend this.

Our guides really made it worth while for us. It was already a spectacular experience but I feel the bunch assigned to us really wanted it to be a fun filled adventure beyond what we expected. Kudos to Amy, Alicia, Seth and Eric for our zip lining guides and Erica our horseback riding tour guides. Ask for them And have a blast! Mahalo guys. I miss Hawaii already! Xoxo, Naj&Raj

I participated in this tour in March.

On the day of the tour, we couldn't reach the summit due to strong winds, but we climbed a nearby hill and watched the sunset, which became a wonderful memory.

Next time, I want to climb to the summit of Mauna Kea! I will take my revenge next time.

３月にこちらのツアーに参加させて頂きました。

当日、強風のため山頂までは行けませんでしたが、
近くの丘（山）に登ってサンセットを見たり、
とっても良い思い出になりました。

次回こそ、マウナケアの山頂に登りたいです！
次回、リベンジします。

On the day of the event, which was a Sunday, traffic was expected to be heavy, but thanks to the local guide's coordination and flexible response, the experience was packed with delicious highlights. Additionally, at the request of the participants, we made an unexpected stop at a coffee farm on the way back, where I was able to get coffee that can't be found in Waikiki.

I was nervous about horseback riding for the first time, but there were no issues at all! I thoroughly enjoyed the extraordinary views from the horse's back and was very satisfied.

参加当日は日曜日ということもあり渋滞が予想されましたが、現地ガイドさんの采配と臨機応変な対応により、おいしいところが凝縮された内容でした。また、参加者のリクエストで帰る途中、予定になかったコーヒーファームにも寄っていただきワイキキでは買えないコーヒーを入手できました。
初めての乗馬で緊張しましたが、まったく問題なし！馬の背中から非日常の景色を楽しめて大満足です。

We stayed in Maui for 7 nights on our honeymoon, and decided to visit Haleakalā, so my husband, my sister, and I participated together. As we gradually acclimated, we drove up and kept putting on more layers. It was quite cold, so I wore a borrowed down jacket over my own. The sunset and the starry sky were amazing. We even saw shooting stars, which was fantastic. For newlyweds, there’s the spirit Shakamanda that comes around a lot. It was incredible! The explanations were impressive as well. I highly recommend it! We were well taken care of by everyone.

ハネムーンでマウイに7泊しており、せっかくならハレアカラに行こうということで、主人と妹の3人で参加しました。段々と体をならしながら、車で登って行き段々と着込んでいきます。かなり寒いのでダウンの上にお借りしたダウンを着ました。最高のサンセットと星空。流れ星も見れて最高でした。新婚さんにはたくさんよってくる精霊シャカマンダ。これすごかったです！解説もさすがでした。オススメです！3人でお世話になりました。

We are a couple well over 60 years old. In March, we went to Maui and boldly tried activities we had never done in Hawaii before. As shown in the photo, we wore sturdy harnesses and helmets, trusting our lives to pulleys and wire ropes as we soared from about 300 meters to 800 meters. At first, we glided a couple of times over a grassy area, and then crossing the valley was thrilling.

It was over in a flash, but we had a great time. Next time, we will bring our grandchildren.

60歳をとうに超えた夫婦です。3月にマウイ島へ行き、いままでハワイでやったことのない遊びに思い切って挑戦しました。　写真のようにかなりしっかりしたハーネス・ヘルメットなどを付けて、滑車とワイヤーロープに命を託してガーッと一気に300mから800mくらいを滑空します。始めは写真のように草原の上で２、３回、その後の谷越えはスリルがありました。
あっというまでしたが、とても楽しかったです。次回は孫を連れて行きます。

My newlywed husband and I LOVED this ride. our guide Grace(?) was friendly, knowledgeable, down to earth and very kind with the horses.
horses were very sweet for the most part, clean and well taken care of. barn was also in good shape. advertised as 3 hour ride but with the drive to the barn, info session and saddling up/down the ride itself was 2 hours, which was fine for us. breathtaking ride through Waipio valley. beautiful scenery that can't be matched. only bad part is our bums hurt the next day from sitting in the saddle! :D
would love to go again!

Me and and my girlfriend both liked the young guides who picked us up at the North Shore Marketplace parking lot. It was just us two so we felt very privilidged. The Hawaiian guide drove for about 20 min through many farms and got to know much abut them and who owned them, unfortunately much of the land were rented by Monsantos. Part of the drive was very bumpy but became much better when we got unto the military roads. The hike was not that hard mostly because the water wasn´t that high this time. It was partly slippery but our sneekers was enough to manage it. There were some very niice sceneries and crossig over the river and the mountain pool swim at the summit was very pleasent and just what we needed after a 2.5 hours hike. We got to use helmets but just for a very short time. The lunch was two wraps each and was more than enough for us.
The hawaiian native guide told us much about the the hawaiian culture and the problems hawaiians have had keeping their language alive. We also got to know about much about the different plants and trees, and the tight bond to nature hawaiina have had, he also made a hawaiian chant to the forrest when we just started the hike which was very nice to hear. We would recommend this hike to all our friends.

Had a really good time. Got to see the Maui that most tours do not get to see.

We had a great day

Riding a buggy was a first-time experience for me! Since I ride a motorcycle in Japan, I had no particular issues, but the problem was my wife who joined me. Unlike cars, driving a buggy requires a bit of strength in handling the steering wheel. My wife, who is not very strong, wobbled to the right and then to the left, and ultimately, we ended up taking a bus tour behind.

It was disappointing that we couldn't ride together, but the activity itself was a lot of fun, and it became a great memory as we got to see breathtaking views that you can't find in Japan! I hear there are horses available too, but I think the buggy offers a stronger sense of speed.

There is a two-hour course available, but I was satisfied with the one-hour ride! Also, the lever under the steering wheel is used to accelerate, but it was quite stiff, and my thumb hurt. In that sense, it might be a bit tough for women who aren't very strong. Of course, there were women who managed to keep up, though!

バギーは初体験でした！
日本ではバイクに乗っていることもあり、男の自分には特に問題なく乗る事が出来ましたが、問題は一緒に参加した嫁でした。
車などとは違い、ハンドルさばきに若干の力が必要です。
非力な嫁は右側にヨロヨロ、、左側にヨロヨロ、、
あえなく後ろからついてくるバスでの観光となりました。

一緒に走る事ができず残念でしたが、アクティビティそのものはとても楽しく、日本では見れない絶景を見ながら走る事ができ良い思い出になりました！
馬もあるようですが、こちらの方が疾走感が強いのでは？

2時間コースもありますが、自分的には1時間で満足でした！
後、ハンドル下のレバーを押す事でアクセルがかかるのですが、これが固くて親指が痛かったです。
そういった意味でも非力な女性にはちょっとキツいかも？もちろんついてくる女性もいましたが^^

Last time, I experienced horseback riding at a ranch on the Big Island, and it left a lasting impression, so this time I participated in a horseback riding tour in Waipi'o Valley.

It was not difficult at all, and the horses followed along quietly in line, making it a truly relaxing activity. While gazing at the Waipi'o Valley, which is said to be a power spot, the only sound was the hoofbeats of the horses, which I think is the very essence of "healing." On the other hand, if you're looking for the feeling of "controlling the horse," it might be better to run freely at a ranch.

The location of the shop might be a bit hard to find. It's more reliable to go to the observation deck first and then come back.

Horseback riding while enjoying the majestic ocean of the Big Island, and leisurely viewing the healing valley from the back of a horse—either way, horseback riding is recommended as an activity to savor the land of Hawaii.

前回、ハワイ島の牧場で乗馬を体験し、とても心に残ったので、
今回はワイピオ渓谷の乗馬ツアーに参加しました。

少しも難しいことはなく、馬も大人しく列に着いていくので、
本当にのんびりできるアクティビティでした。
パワースポットと言われるワイピオ渓谷をながめながら、
馬の足音だけが響く空間はまさに「癒し」そのものだと思います。
逆に「馬を操っている感」は薄いので、それを求めるなら牧場で自由に駆け回るほうがいいかも。

お店の場所はちょっとわかりにくいかもしれません。
一度、展望台まで行ってから戻ってきたほうが確実です。

ハワイ島の雄大な海を観ながら牧場を駆け回る乗馬、
癒しの谷をのんびりと馬の背から眺める乗馬、
いずれにしてもハワイの大地を味わうアクティビティとして、
乗馬はオススメです。

We spent a week in Oahu at the end of March and visited this ranch with our 6-year-old and 4-year-old daughters. Since we had made a reservation in advance, there were no particularly complicated procedures, and we hardly needed any English, haha. The friendly female staff made the children very happy. However, considering that it takes about two hours round trip from Waikiki, the 30-minute horse ride felt a bit short... The ranch had peacocks running around and was a spacious and lovely place!

3月末から1週間オアフで過ごし、6歳と
4歳の娘たちとこの牧場に遊びに来ました。事前に予約をしているので、特に複雑な手続きなし、英語もほぼ不要でした笑
親切な女性のスタッフで子どもたちも満足してもどってきました^^でもワイキキから往復2時間を考えるとホースライド30分だとちょっと短いかな…。
牧場には、くじゃくが走り回り、広くて素敵な場所でした！

The guides, Konno and Stefan, were very kind and showed us around. The sunset over the sea of clouds from the summit of Mauna Kea was beautiful, and we could faintly see the Kilauea crater along with a sky full of stars. We were also able to see the craters on the moon through a reflecting telescope. Although it was windy and the temperature was low, we brought hand warmers, so we didn't feel too cold.

ガイドの今野さんとステファンさんが親切に案内してくれ、マウナケア山頂からの雲海に沈む夕日とキラウエア火口がほんのり見え、満天の星空がとてもきれいでした。反射望遠鏡で月のクレーターも見えました。風がふいて気温は低かったですが、ホッカイロも持参して寒さ対策は万全でしたので、さほど寒さは感じませんでした。

My first time at 4,000 meters.
I was moved by the sunset.
I was moved by the opposite side of the sunset.
I was moved by the starry sky.

I was fine health-wise, but it was really cold.
- Ski wear (top and bottom)
- Knit hat
- Gloves
They provide the above three items.
Additionally, I wore a Uniqlo down jacket.
Of course, I also had sneakers and thick socks on.

人生初の４０００メートル。
サンセットで感激
サンセットの反対側で感激
星空で感激

体調自体は大丈夫でしたが、とにかく寒い。
・スキーウェア上下
・ニット帽
・手袋
上記3点は用意してくれます。
加えて、ユニクロダウンを装備しました。
もちろん、スニーカー＆厚手靴下で。

wow! Cannot even describe the experience we had.... I really wanted my mother to enjoy this the most and it was great! Although she could not make the hike (because of knee surgery) she had a blast and patiently waited for me to tour and get the pictures for her to cherish.... The hike is a challenge for people with balance issuees, walking, and stairs!!!!! When you climb, you climb but overall we had a perfect and safe trip to this landmark that will be cherished!!!!

The mountain tubing adventure was a wonderful, relaxing experience. Zeb our tour director was a lot of fun and very informative. Highly recommend this tour!

I was torn between horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, but it turned out to be the right choice.

The 90-minute ride was quite fulfilling.

There were a total of eight people: two Japanese couples and four from an Asian family.

With staff positioned at the front and back, there's no need to worry if the horses take a detour or lag behind, as they guide you along the way.

We rode in a line through the forest, and the forest bathing felt wonderful. At the end, we were moved to see the ocean. They also took plenty of photos with our cameras.

Overall, since we were with others participating in different activities, there was a bit of wasted time. We stopped at places that weren't necessary to visit.

A package that includes just horseback riding and free time in Haleiwa Town would be great.

クアロア牧場での乗馬と迷いましたが、こちらで大正解でした。
９０分の乗馬はかなり乗り応えあります。

全部で８人。
日本人２人×２組、アジアのファミリー４。

先頭と最後尾に、スタッフがつく形なので、
途中でお馬さんが寄り道したり、遅くなったりしても、
誘導してくれるので心配いりません。

列になって、森の中を進んでいきます。
森林浴がとても気持ちいいです♪
最後に海が見えてきて、感動です。
写真も自分たちのカメラでいっぱいとってくれました。


全体としては、
他のアクティビティーに参加する人と一緒なので、
まあまあ時間のロスがあります。
行かなくていいとこにも寄ります。

ハレイワタウンでのフリータイムと乗馬だけのセットだといいです。

Horseback riding on the sandy beach was only for taking photos; we just slowly walked along the flat path by the coast. The scenery and sea breeze were pleasant. The horse was gentle, so I hardly had to control it and was just sitting there. The staff were kind and beautiful, which was lovely, but honestly... the riding itself wasn't very interesting, so I struggled a lot with the tip after the ride. I think it's suitable for beginners.

砂浜での乗馬は写真撮影の時だけ、海岸脇の平らな歩道をゆっくり散歩するだけでした。景色と海風は気持ち良かったです。馬は大人しいのでほとんど操作することがなく、だだ乗っているだけでした。スタッフは親切でしたし美人さんで素敵だったんですけど、正直・・・乗馬自体は、あまり面白くなかったので乗馬終了後のチップにすごく困りました。初心者向けだと思います。

Zip lining was a lot of fun and our guides seemed very knowledgable! I felt very safe with all of the equipment and guides. Swimming at the end was a highlight for the tour! Such a cool experience!

I participated with my 9-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter. All three of us have riding licenses, but there were no other horseback riding options available due to age, height, and transportation. The tour included various activities such as horseback riding, encountering sea turtles, visiting a pineapple farm, seeing the "What Tree Is That?" tree, and sightseeing in Haleiwa Town, making it an incredibly fun experience. Our dream of horseback riding together as a family came true, and we also got to enjoy delicious garlic shrimp in Haleiwa Town, which left us truly satisfied. The Japanese male guide and the American women at the ranch were very kind and took many photos for us, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

９歳の息子、１１歳の娘と私の３人で参加しました。
私達は３人とも乗馬のライセンスを持っていますが、年齢、身長、送迎等で参加可能な乗馬が他にありませんでした。
色々なツアーも含まれていて、乗馬、海カメ遭遇、パイナップル農園、「この木何の木」の木、ハレイワタウン観光も含めて、凄く楽しい体験でした。
夢だった親子３人での乗馬も叶い、ハレイワタウンでの凄く美味しいガーリックシュリンプも食べられて、本当に大満足です。
ガイドの日本人男性も、牧場のアメリカ人女性達も沢山写真を撮って下さったり、凄く親切で、大満足でした。
