All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

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.

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。

ATV tour was great fun with spectacular views. In previous years we have done the horseback riding tour and the Pinzgauer 4wd tours which were also very good.

The people were great, especially Hollywood! The tube ride was relaxing and the scenery was gorgeous! It was a great experience and we would do it again!

This was my second time in Hawaii, and my first time skydiving. Unfortunately, the weather was not great due to clouds at that time. After five minutes, if there wasn't even a little bit of sunshine, it seemed like we would have to cancel for the day, but then a small break in the clouds appeared.

Seizing the moment, I boarded the Cessna. Although we didn't reach the highest altitude, I was able to dive safely into the sky. It truly became the best experience of my life.

Thank you to the staff who worked hard to give us the opportunity to fly without giving up until the end, and thank you for the weather in the North!

Hawaiiは二度目で スカイダイビングは初めてだったのですが、当時は雲があっての生憎の天候 …>_<
後、5分経って少しでも晴れ間が出なければ今日は キャンセルみたいな状況だったんですが そこに少しの晴れ間が.…
ここぞとばかりに セスナに乗込み最高到達点まで上がらなかったけど 無事に空にダイブ出来ました (^-^)/
人生の中で、本当に最高の経験になりました 。
最後まで 諦めずに飛ぶ機会に努力してくれたスタッフさん、 ノースの天気に
ありがとう ♪

We had a great experience with Paradise Helicopter. The guide was great and we felt safe throughout the ride. We did a 10 min ride of North Shore and that was good for us as the most fun is taking off and landing. Our 4 yr old son enjoyed it very much. Would def recommend!

My first skydiving!
It was the most exciting part of our honeymoon.
The instructor and driver were great, but we were about an hour late for the dive. I want to do it again! 4000m.

初スカイダイビング！
ハネムーン一番位に楽しみでした。
インストラクター ドライバーも良かったですがダイビング時間より1時間位遅くはなりましたが またしたいです！4000m

We really enjoyed our time at the Maui Dragon Fruit Farm, on the farm tour, the zipline, and the aquaball. When we got there we were taken for a short tour of the farm which was both pretty and interesting as there were a couple of different tropical fruits, and I imagine it could only be better during dragon fruit season. The Zipline was fun, although it was shorter than we first expected it to be. It was made better by being able to have multiple goes on it. The aqua ball was great fun especially on the hot day. Both of the staff who were with us were really friendly and helpful about tips and advice for the rest of our trip on Maui.

The Maui Dragon Fruit Farm was really interesting on its own before the fun activities, and looked over a beautiful view of the ocean. The staff (who were extremely friendly and helpful for advice about Maui) showed us around the farm pointing out the dragon fruit, pineapples and such. The zipline was shorter than expected, however we got to go on multiple times and was generally really fun. The aqua ball was our favourite part as its a completely new experience than anything we have done before. The road that the ball went down was short, but being in the ball it felt like a long time which was probably perfect for the ride. Overall, it was a good place to do these activities as there was such a friendly atmosphere.

Hawaii Forest and Trail stands for competence, professionalism, passion and respect for the environment they allow to see and for travelers. They really think and manage everything with great knowledge and kindness. I felt cared for in every way, even the chocolate cake! The lesson on the stars was fantastic and we all got to use the telescope. Every wish was realized. The only thing we had to do was to be overwhelmed by the mystical magic Mauna Kea!

Our guides were friendly and helpful. We rode along trails with beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. Kualoa is a very scenic area

What a great time! Sam our driver was very informative and most of all entertaining. He kept us in stitches throughout the tour. Such beautiful views and botanicals.

This tour was a very good excursion for the whole family! It did not require much physical activity and was a lot of fun. The guides were very funny and knowledgable! They really helped us have a good time! Bum was hilarious and even helped take pictures of our whole group.

Great experience and one that definitely tests your athletic ability. They will teach you every thing you need to know and safety is a priority. I recommend you pay the extra money for their shoes. This is one adventure I will never forget!

My wife & I love to do ATV tours every place we go on vacation, so needless to say, Hawaii was a must. The Kualoa Ranch is an incredibly beautiful location where many movies (although mostly subpar) have been filmed, and our guide was very knowledgeable & friendly, so no complaints there.

However, compared to other similar tours we've done, this one was much slower. At the beginning, they warn that it's a 12mph tour, and that's probably an accurate average. The ATVs aren't very powerful, so you'll be lucky if you even reach 20mph going down hill.

It started pouring on our tour, and we were ready with rain jackets, but if not, the instructor will provide clear plastic ponchos. This may be miserable to some, but it actually made it more fun and genuine for us, as we got to ride through puddles & mud in the pouring jungle.

In conclusion, I understand the goal is to make this a safe experience, and that everyone varies in terms of ATV skills, but maybe there should be should be a couple of level options (maybe 1-hour tours = easy, 2-hour tours = moderate?). I would consider my wife & I as average drivers, so by no means am I asking for a daredevil & speedy experience, but a little more pace would have gone a long way. Otherwise, this tour is a no-brainer experience, as it's one of the most beautiful places we've been.
