It was like a scene from Mars. (Of course, I've never been to Mars.) It was cold, but it was worth it!

まるで火星のような光景でした。（もちろん火星に行った事はありません）
寒かったですが、それだけの価値はあります！

I had a really fun day riding the pineapple train and exploring the town of Haleiwa. The Japanese guide was very entertaining and kept us engaged throughout the ride. They also took us to a recommended garlic shrimp place and to some special spots, which made me very satisfied.

パイナップル列車に乗ったりハレイワの町を散策したり、本当に楽しい一日でした。
日本人のガイドさんがお話の楽しい方で車内ではずっと楽しませて下さいました。
ハレイワのガイドさんオススメのガーリックシュリンプ屋さんにも連れて行った下さったり、とっておきのスポットに連れて行って下さったり、大満足でした。

Horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch is great, but I wanted to try a long ride along the coast! Our family of six participated. Unfortunately, it was rainy, but the staff were friendly and smiling, even though they could hardly speak Japanese. They also took care to cover the saddles with waterproof covers right up until we mounted, which made the whole family very satisfied. Everyone hopes for a chance to ride on a sunny day next time! What stood out the most was how the staff treated the horses like family, and they took great care of them, looking very happy themselves. I sincerely hope they continue this in the future.

クアロアランチなどの乗馬もいいけどロングで海沿いコースの乗馬をしてみたい！とファミリー6人で参加しました。生憎の雨模様でしたが、スタッフの方々の笑顔や日本語はほとんど話せないけれど、とてもフレンドリーでした。また、鞍などにも騎乗直前まで水濡れ防止のカバーをかけてくれる心遣いもあり家族も大満足。今度は快晴の乗馬を期待したいと皆リベンジを希望！！一番感じたのは、スタッフの方々が馬を家族として接しているし馬の手入れもしっかり出来ていてなによりとても幸せそうでした。是非、今後も続けてほしいと願っています。

It was the best experience.
I will never forget the sight of the horizon stretching 360 degrees far above the clouds.

When I searched online, I found some negative reviews mentioning the absence of Japanese staff and that they wouldn't take you to the highest altitude, but I had a very kind Japanese staff member who provided excellent interpretation, and the instructor properly checked the altitude with an altimeter.

I saw some comments about long wait times, but in my case, I was able to return to my hotel in Waikiki by a little after 1 PM. I participated alone as a man, but I had a great time taking photos with the other participants while waiting.

It seemed that the decision to cancel due to weather was quite close; fortunately for me, it cleared up and I was able to fly safely, but they mentioned that if the weather hadn't improved, they would have planned to fly from half the altitude. It seems that this can happen occasionally, so I recommend checking the weather forecast before participating if you're feeling anxious.

I am completely satisfied with everything.
I definitely want to participate again.
Thank you very much.

最高の体験でした。
雲の遥か上で360度水平線が広がるあの光景は忘れられません。

ネットで検索すると、日本人スタッフがいないとか、最高高度まで上がってくれないとか、ちらほら悪評がありますが、とても親切な日本人スタッフの方がしっかり通訳してくれますし、高度もちゃんとインストラクターの方が高度計（？）で最高高度を確認させてくれました。

待ち時間が長いという話をちらほら見ましたが、自分の場合は13時過ぎにはワイキキのホテルに戻ってこれました。男ひとりでの参加だったのですが他の参加者の方々と写真を撮りあったりして待ってる時間も楽しく過ごせました。

天候の影響で中止かどうかけっこうギリギリのラインだったようで、私の場合は運よく晴れてきて無事に飛べましたが、天候が回復しなければ半分の高度から飛ぶ予定だったそうです。稀にそういうことがあるそうなので不安な方は天気予報を確認されてからの参加をおすすめします。

全てにおいて大満足です。
是非また参加させていただきたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

Perhaps the timing of our visit was unfortunate. The summit was shrouded in clouds. We gave up and descended to the Onizuka Visitor Center, waiting for the weather to improve, but without seeing any clear skies, we had no choice but to return home in tears. It was supposed to have a 90% chance of clear weather, so we never expected this.

Still, the guide that day did not give up until the end and tried to show us the stars. They explained the few stars we could see and made great efforts to take creative photos.

Ten years ago, I was moved by the sunset and the star-filled sky at the summit, and I really wanted to show it to my 70-year-old mother. I wanted her to know that such a wonderful place exists in the world. I would like to try again.

私たちの行った時期がまずかったのでしょうか。
山頂はブリサード。
諦めてオニヅカビジターセンターへ降り、天候回復を待ちましたが、晴れ間が見れることもなく、泣く泣く帰るしかありませんでした。
90%の晴天の確率のはずがまさかこんなことに。
それでもその日のガイドさんは最後まで諦めずに私たちに星を見せてくれようとして下さいましたし、ちょっとだけ見られた星について説明して下さったり、工夫を凝らした写真の撮影を
して下さったりととても努力して下さいました。

私は１０年前に山頂の夕日と星だらけの星空に感動して、７０歳の母にどうしても見せてあげたかった。世界にこんな素敵な場所があることを知ってほしかったのです。
また再チャレンジしたいと思います。

Enjoyed getting off the beaten track, the hike is fairly easy, but expect to get a little muddy. The bike ride takes you up into the hills above the city so you get a great view out over Waikiki and Diamond head.

These guys a re amazing! Jeremy picked us up on time, drove safely to get us to the top of the mountain, and then guided us down before feeding us a tasty and healthy lunch, and the. Took us us to the most amazing rainforest I have ever seen. There was no other hikers to have to negotiate around! It was a highlight of our trip! A must do in Oahu. My parents and Aunty and uncle were with us and loved it also. We could stop and take as many photos as we wanted because there is no rush!

I have only reviewed one thing in my life, Space Jam the movie in 1997. I hated it.
But now I have to break my vow to never review again by reviewing this ATV tour.
Whilst Space Jam the movie had some redeemable qualities; the ATV tour did not.
Once we arrived at the ranch (aka mud farm) we observed gangs of roving cats strutting around, intimidating us into purchasing horrible scented soaps from the ugly women at the gift shop.
The actual ride itself was comparable to the holocaust and I refuse to remember the details as I'm not ready to accept that it actually happened. The dude took us to where the hit comedy "you, me and Dupree" was filmed, I think it was the part where they stood in a vacant field and nothing happened. The only thing the dude in charge watched more than the road ahead, was his watch. I think he even said he hated one of us under his breath. His only rules were that no one was allowed to have fun and that we we had to go back to his shack on the ranch to watch Skrek 2. We politely declined his offer.
The only good thing was the view; just like when Michael Jordan scored in the final seconds of Space Jam, thus saving the earth from the invading basketball aliens (?).
After the trip I drove home with the Space Jam theme song playing through the radio.
May god have mercy on us all.

This year, we went horseback riding again at my daughter's request. Since this was the only place where we could enjoy the seaside, we chartered a car and went for the first time. It was very pleasant, and the wonderful environment and scenery were the epitome of luxury. There is no shuttle service, so it can be inconvenient for those who don't drive, but I think it's worth chartering a ride to experience the vast nature, and I highly recommend it. Since they don't speak Japanese, just smile!

娘の希望で今年も乗馬。海辺を満喫できるのはこちらしか無かったので、車をチャーターして初めて行きました。とても気持ちよく、素晴らしい環境と景色は贅沢の極みでした～。送迎も無いので、運転しない方には不便ば場所ではありますが、チャーターして出向く価値のある広大な自然に大満足されると思いますのでお勧めです。日本語が通じないので、そこば笑顔で！

Horseback riding in Hawaii, whether on Oahu or here on Maui, is truly relaxing. After a brief lesson on basic horse handling, we got to ride. I think there was an explanation before we mounted, but I couldn't catch it in English. Suddenly, the horse took off with a shout of "Alright, let's go! Hold on to the reins and saddle tight, GO!" I clung on for dear life, probably for just a few seconds? Afterward, the cowgirl asked me, "How was it?" and when I replied, "I was a bit surprised," she burst out laughing (^ - ^).

But the scenery was amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed the leisurely horseback ride. The friendly cowgirl took quite a few pictures for us too♪ I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting a bit dirty, as there will be dust.

オアフ島しかり、ここマウイ島しかり、ハワイの乗馬はほんとに気楽。
ごくごく簡単な馬の操作をレクチャーの後乗ります。
乗る前の説明があったのか？英語が聞き取れなかっただけだと思いますが、途中で「さあ走るよ！手綱と鞍しっかり掴んでね、GO!」といきなり馬が走り出します。
必死にしがみついて、多分数秒ぐらい？
走ったあと、カウガールに「どうだった？」と聞かれ「ちょっとびっくりした」というと大笑いしてました(^-^)

でもまあ景色は最高！のんびり乗馬を存分に楽しめました。
写真もけっこう何枚も撮ってくれて、気さくなカウガールでしたよ♪
土煙で汚れるので、少し汚れてもいい服装で行かれることをお勧めします。

I chose activities that I could participate in together with my mother-in-law for our trip. Although I couldn't understand all the explanations about the sights and history in the English tour, I was glad to see landscapes that I wouldn't normally be able to experience. The waterfall was average, I think Japanese people don't swim there. The sandwich was quite delicious.

義理のお母さんと一緒の旅行のため、一緒に参加できるアクティビティを申し込みたく選びました。 英語ツアーで見所や歴史などの説明は全部は理解できませんてしたが、普段なら見ることのできないふうけいを見ることができてよかったです。滝は普通かな。日本人は泳がないとおもいます。サンドイッチはかなりおいしかったです。

I had the best experience!
Even though it was my first time, I’m already hooked on skydiving!
I was really nervous until the moment I jumped, but after I leaped, I experienced a world like no other.
Since it was my first experience, I purchased photos and a DVD for about $190 (the filming cost was higher than the jump, lol). I’m enjoying showing the DVD to my family and friends after returning home!
I think the actual time spent experiencing (preparation, flight, diving) was less than 30 minutes, but it took over 3 hours for the round trip and there was about 2 hours of waiting time... We left in the morning and returned in the early afternoon.
If I go to Hawaii again, I want to participate once more! It was an amazing experience!!

最高の経験ができました！
初挑戦にしてすでにスカイダイビングの虜です！
飛ぶ瞬間までは非常にドキドキしたけど、飛びだした後は経験したことのない世界を体験できます。
初体験だったので写真とDVDを追加＄190くらいで購入（飛ぶのより撮影代が高かったｗ）帰国後も家族や友人にDVDを見せて楽しんでいます！
実際に自分が体験する時間（準備～飛行～ダイビング）は30分もかからないと思いますが、移動に往復3時間強、待ち時間が2時間ほどありました。。。朝出発して帰ってくるのは昼過ぎです。
ハワイに行ったら、また参加したい！最高の体験でした！！

The exhilaration of driving through breathtaking scenery is the best!
The hiking distance was just right, not too tough.
A 67-year-old American couple was able to walk it with ease.

However, I knew it was only in English.
During the hike, we stopped quite a bit for explanations, but we couldn't understand anything, so we felt a bit at a loss during that time.
It would definitely be more enjoyable if you could come with some English skills.

That said, the views are amazing, so that alone might be enough.
The meal with the stunning scenery was unforgettable.

車で絶景を走り抜ける爽快感は最高です！
ハイキングはキツクなくちょうどいい距離でした。
６７歳のアメリカ人のご夫婦も、余裕で歩けていました。

ただ、分かってはいたけど、英語ガイドのみ。
ハイキング途中、けっこう立ち止まり沢山説明してくれてたけど、私たちにはさっぱりわからず、その間手持無沙汰でした。
多少、英語で来たほうが、もっと楽しめるでしょう。


ただ、景色は最高なので、それだけでも十分かも。
絶景でのご飯はたまらなかったです。

I had experience riding horses in Japan, but I couldn't go outside the riding area, so it wasn't satisfying. I was determined to do it in Hawaii and chose this place because it was the cheapest.

As expected, walking through the trees in such magnificent scenery was amazing! Even though we walked in a line, being able to walk so slowly in nature was the best!!!

We walked for a full hour and I was extremely satisfied!!!! I don't know when I'll be able to go next, but when I do, I will definitely ride here again!!!!

日本で乗馬の経験はありましたが、日本では場外に出ることはできず満足できるものではありませんでした。ハワイでは絶対にやると決めていて、コストも一番安かったこちらに決めました。
期待通り、壮大な景色の中、木々が生える中をぬって歩く！列になって歩くとはいえ大自然の中をこんなにゆっくりと歩けるなんて最高でした！！！
たっぷり1時間あるきましたが大満足です！！！！
次はいつ行けるかわかりませんが、次回行けた時も絶対にこちらの乗馬やります！！！！

It was a wonderful experience for my daughter, who just got married in Hawaii, and me, as I approach my sixtieth birthday. We laughed so hard at how our faces looked from the wind pressure. The instructor was also very friendly and the sea and sky were amazing, plus the photographer was skilled. Buying the photos and DVD was definitely the right choice! The driver was unique, and the double rainbow we saw during the transfer was the best.

還暦近い私とハワイで挙式をあげたばかりの娘と二人、すばらしい体験でした。風圧で顔がこんなになるのかと大笑い。インストラクターさんも笑顔でとてもいいし、海も空もすばらしくカメラマンの腕もいい。写真とＤＶＤ買って正解です！ドライバーのおじさんもユニーク、送迎中二重にかかる大きな虹も最高でした。

It was a wonderful time, riding horses across the highlands and having photos taken against beautiful scenery.

馬に乗って高原を駆け巡ったり、きれいな景色をバックに写真をとってもらったりいたれりつくせりのひと時でした。

I participated with my daughter. It was my first experience riding a horse, and I was nervous and excited, but it was fun. The guide was very attentive and made us laugh.

娘と参加しました。馬に乗るのは初体験でハラハラどきどきでしたが　楽しかったです。
ガイドさんが　とてもきめ細やかに案内してくれて
笑わせてもくれました。　

I had a great time with our guide Masashi, who made me feel like he was from Yoshimoto. His service spirit was exceptional, and he treated us like we were gods, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The photos he took with his expensive camera, which he mentioned he bought at Costco, were of professional quality, and I was grateful to be able to download them. I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent views of Mauna Kea and the starry sky that felt like it was going to fall down on us.

吉本出身？と思いたくなる程ガイドのまさし君が楽しかったです。
サービス精神はもちろんのこと、お客様は神様的な対応で何倍も楽しませてもらいました。
コストコで購入したという高価なカメラでの撮影はプロ級で、ありがたくダウンロードさせてもらいました。
マウナケアの雄大な景色と降ってきそうな星空を大満喫させてもらいました。

Was the BEST!
Our tour guide Sonya was absolute amazing, so knowledgable und very nice.
Also we learned so much about the history of Hawaii. Her friendliness made it to the best events we did on Maui. We would absolutely do it again!
Mahalo

WOW WHAT AN EXPERIENCE TO DROP FROM 14.000FT AT AROUND 120MPH WITH VIEWS TO DIE FOR. ALSO PACIFIC SKY DIVE WAS SO FRIENDLY AND HAD SO MUCH EXPERIENCE IT WAS A GREAT DAY FOR US. IF EVER I WAS BACK IN HAWAII I WOULD CERTAINLY DO THIS AGAIN.....

I was considering going to Kualoa for horseback riding, but I ended up choosing this option because it included visits to places I wanted to see, like Moanalua Gardens, Dole, and the North Shore, and I was able to see sea turtles as well. The famous garlic shrimp was also incredibly delicious. I highly recommend this for those who want to do both sightseeing and horseback riding in a limited amount of time; I’m really glad I chose this option. (The main horseback riding along the coast was, of course, amazing!)

乗馬が目的だったのでクアロアにするか悩みましたが、モアナルアガーデン、ドール、ノースショアと行ってみたい所がセットになっていて、しかもちゃんとウミガメも見れました。名物のガーリックシュリンプもすごく美味しかった。時間がない中で観光も乗馬もしたい方はお勧めですね、こちらを選んで本当によかったです。（メインの乗馬は海沿いでもちろん最高！）

Skydiving is something I've always wanted to try at least once in my life! I was really scared before jumping, but once I was in the air, the exhilaration and emotion made the fear disappear! After returning home, saying that I went skydiving in Hawaii became quite a conversation starter. I rented a car based on reviews and met up at the location, but I felt the explanations were a bit lacking. However, it was great that I could jump without waiting. The sales for photos and videos weren't too pushy either. Overall, I highly recommend it!

一生に一度はやってみたいと思っていたスカイダイビング！
やはり飛ぶ前はすごく怖かったですが、飛んでからは爽快感と感動で、恐怖なんてどこかへ行ってしまいました！
帰国後も、ハワイでスカイダイビングをした！と言うとかなり話のネタになります。
レビューを参考に、レンタカーを借りて現地集合にしましたが、説明などは不十分だった気がします。ですが、待たずに飛べてよかったです。
写真とビデオのセールスもそんなにしつこくなかったです。
とにかくオススメ！

Capt mike piloting the Maggie Joe is a winning combination. My son I. Law and nephew all had a great great time. The crew, Ty and Jeremy were awesome. Catching a 212# blue marlin was just icing on the cake. I would definitely go with this. Few again

I had a very enjoyable tour with an interesting Japanese guide. I might not repeat it, but I recommend it!

面白い日本人ガイドに巡り合い、非常に楽しいツアーを過ごせました。
リピートはしないかもしれませんが、おすすめですよ

This was one of the best parts of our vacation! We had so much fun and it was very easy in terms of transportation and everything else. The tour guide was just amazing very insightful and even gave us more tips on what to do in our remaining days. I would definitely recommend!!!

I signed up with a male friend, and we had a great time without any issues. The stargazing at 4,000 meters when the moon wasn't out was very beautiful. The tour also provided warm clothing, which was very thoughtful. I'm grateful for that.

男同士の友人２人で申し込みましたが問題なく楽しめました。月が出ていないときかつ4000メータ上での星空観測はとてもきれいでした。ツアーも防寒着を用意してくださりいたれりつくせり。感謝です。

The sunset and the starry sky were absolutely wonderful. I've never seen such a beautiful Milky Way before. It truly is the "Milky Way."

But it's cold, so don't forget your warm clothing!

サンセットも星空もとっても素敵でした。
あんなにキレイな天の川は見たことなかったです。本当に「天の川」ですね。

でも、寒いですよ。防寒具はお忘れなく!!

I was very impressed by the story shared by Mr. Yamauchi, which made me re-recognize the fact that I am alive here now. I was also moved by his admirable way of living. I wish him continued good health and even more success for the sake of travelers from Japan. The starry sky and the Milky Way were beautiful. Since there were only a few people (5) in one car, we could take our time, which was nice. The bento was just okay... maybe the food at Mauna Kea was tastier... It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

ご案内下さった山内さんのお話がとても素晴らしく今こうしてここに生きている事を
再認識？しました　ご自身の頼もしい生き方にも感動いたしました
日本からの旅人の為にも　これからもお元気で益々のご活躍をお祈り申し上げます
星空・天の川もきれいでした　車一台に少人数（5名）だったのでゆっくり　よかったです
お弁当はまあまあそれなり・・・マウナケアのほうが美味しかったかな・・・　
いい想い出になりました　　有難うございました

Mr bills gliders was a fantastic high light of our trip.
The staff was very nice , and knowledgable .
My pilots name was Soloman, and I went up for a 30 min free style and a 15 acrobatic ride! Let me tell you this, the view s are incredible, super quiet . I saw isolated several storm clouds pouring rain over the water very cool to see from above.
The acrobatic part was 4-1/2 Gssssssssss and oh boy , what a ride so cool.
I highly recommend bills. It was worth every penny.

The highlight of my trip to Hawaii was definitely skydiving. To be honest, I was quite nervous, but my instructor Brent, who didn't speak much Japanese, made me laugh with his gestures, and it was a lot of fun. The time flew by smoothly. Also, for first-timers, I recommend getting photos or a DVD, even though it can be a bit pricey. I didn't do it, and I regret that. If I come back to Hawaii, I will definitely do it again!

今回のハワイ旅行で1番の思い出はスカイダイビングになったくらい良かったです。
正直・・・かなりビビってましたがインストラクターのbrentが日本語はあまり話せなかったけどジェスチャーで笑わせてくれたりして楽しかったです。
時間もスムーズに進み あっという間の時間でした。
あとは・・・初めての方は少しお値段は張りますが写真かDVDの撮影をオススメします。私はしなかったので後悔してます。
またハワイに来たら必ずまた来ます！
