All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

This was worth the 2 hrs and really fun. Got to see beautiful views and movie sites while having fun riding ATVs. Guide was really good and knowledgeable.

Pretty basic tubing ride, no rapids or anything like that, just float down a drainage ditch basically, the staff even calls it the ditch. Kinda stunk, like sewer, or cows or something...Probably great for kids, but for over $100 per person, not the best activity for the money...

The guide was a novice, but it was clear that they truly loved the Big Island, and I was moved by their wonderful warmth.

The breathtaking view from the mountain higher than Mount Fuji, the beauty of the scenery from the summit of Mauna Kea, and the space between the mountain and the sky were just amazing. Mr. Yamamoto, the vice president of Masashi Nature School, provided a very clear explanation of the constellations, which was great. The constellation explanation by the novice guide, Matsuzaki, who really put themselves out there, was also enjoyable! I would love to hear about the constellations I missed when visiting in a different season.

The warm tea and cookies while gazing at the beautiful starry sky were truly delicious! They took photos of the starry sky with a special camera, and those pictures can be downloaded from the Masashi Nature School website. I was so impressed, as I didn't expect anything like this. I would love to participate again!☆

ガイドさんは新米でしたが、本当にハワイ島が好きなんだなぁっていうのが伝わってくるステキな暖かいガイドで感動しています。

富士山より高い山からの絶景、マウナケア山頂の景色の素晴らしさと、山と空の空間の美しさ もう最高です。
マサシネイチャースクール副社長の山本さんの星空の星座解説も非常にわかりやすくよかったです。新米ガイドの松崎さんの体を張った星座解説もよかった~♪
また、季節が違う時に訪れて見れなかった星座解説など聞いてみたいです。
キレイな星空をみながらの暖かい紅茶とクッキーがホントにおいしかった！
特殊なカメラで星空の写真を撮ってくださいました。その写真はマサシネイチャースクールのHP
からダウンロードできます。こんなこと思っていなかったので、感激しています。
また参加したいです☆

My wife & I were first timers visiting during a conference. We located this tour on-line and took a gamble sight unseen. This was one of the best parts of our vacation. Our guide, Chris, was very personable and provided tons of information about the North Shore and the agriculture. He took several pictures for us and was very accommodating. Five stars for Chris. We would recommend this for anyone. The scenery is breathtaking. We recommend the sunset ride and request Chris for your guide!

I experienced horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch twice before, but this time I wanted to see a different view, so I tried the sunset horseback riding at this ranch. It was a small, privately-owned place, which made it easy to talk to the staff. The female guide spoke only English, but she was very kind, and the horses were well-trained, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. There were also privately owned horses at the ranch, and one of the horses we encountered while riding was quite mischievous and fell right in front of us, leaving us in shock. Our guide, who also had a nursing qualification, provided emergency assistance and called an ambulance, while we waited anxiously. I realized that dealing with wild animals comes with such risks.

According to our guide, if the horse's personality doesn't match the rider's skill level, accidents can happen more easily. However, the horses at this ranch were well-behaved and properly trained, so we were able to enjoy the ride without worry until the end. We took in the magnificent scenery and sunset, treating the incident as a lesson, and it turned out to be a fun hour and a half of horseback riding.

乗馬はクアロア牧場で2度程体験しましたが、別の景色を見たいと今回こちらの牧場のサンセット乗馬を体験しました。
個人経営でこじんまりしていたので、話やすかったです。ガイドしてくれた女性は英語しかできませんが、とても優しく、馬もよく慣れていて安心して楽しめました。そこの牧場には個人所有の馬もおり、私たちが乗馬中に出会った馬がやんちゃで、目の前で落馬してしまい、唖然としました。私たちのガイドさんは看護師の資格ももっているとのことで、緊急対応し、救急車を呼んだのですが、その間私たちは緊張の面持ちで待機していました。自然の動物を相手にするのはこういったリスクも伴うものだというのを痛感しました。
ガイドさん曰く、馬の性格と乗り手の技量があっていないと、事故も起きやすいとのこと。しかしここの牧場の馬は、性格もよく、きちんと調教されているとのことで、最後まで安心して楽しめました。雄大な景色とサンセットを見て、アクシデントのことは教訓とし、楽しい1時間半の乗馬でした。

My kids and I had a great time. The best zip-lining we have ever done. The guides made us feel very safe and we would definitely do this again.

The stars were amazing!! I was really glad to see the unique scenery of the Big Island of Hawaii.

星がやばかったです！！ハワイ島ならではの景色が見られて本当に良かった。

I participated in the English tour with a bit of excitement. There were two Japanese women and about eight people from English-speaking countries, and despite my limited English, we were able to communicate and enjoy trekking together.

We climbed through a bamboo-like area near Manoa, but since Manoa has one of the highest rainfall levels in Oahu, the ground is often muddy, and we crossed a small stream along the way, so I definitely recommend borrowing rubber boots. This tour is almost 100% in English, so it's great for those who really love trekking and find Diamond Head too easy! However, for those who are anxious about their English skills, it might take a bit of courage to join.

Also, I noticed that arriving about 30 minutes late is something typical for English tours. If you don't have that kind of flexibility, you might find it frustrating at first.

英語ツアーということで、少しドキドキしながら参加しましたが、日本人の女性の方が２人と、あとは英語圏の方８人くらいで、英語ができないなりにもコミュニケーションをとりつつ楽しくトレッキングできました。
マノア近くの竹林的なところを黙々と登っていくのですが、マノア周辺はオアフの中でも降水量が多いところなので、地面はぬかるんでいるところが多く、途中小川も渡ったりするので、長靴は絶対借りたほうがいいと思います。ほぼ100%英語のツアーなので、本当にトレッキングが好きで、ダイヤモンドヘッドでは物足りない！！という方にはお勧めですが、英語の不安のある方はちょっと参加するのに勇気がいるような気がします。
あと、集合時間に30分くらい遅れてくるのも、英語ツアーならではなのかなぁと思いました。それくらい寛大さがないと、最初イライラするかもしれませんね

I wish there had been a more specific statement regarding the hike that you may get very muddy! They did have rain boots but you needed to have high socks so you wouldn't get blisters.
I didn't have the socks so ended up wearing my tennis shoes - there was no avoiding the mud - I had mud up to my knees - mainly from splashing - mud wasn't that deep.

There were lovely flowers and going in the midst of a banboo forest was amazing. We did see a poisonous tree frog - beautiful bright green and black.

The bike ride was a breeze literally and the half way stopping point has an amazing view of Honolulu!

The catamaran was a lot of fun - they knew exactly where the turtles come to get cleaned up by the fish - we saw 3 different sized turtles.

Hilarious guide that made it even more fun, outstanding scenery, horses not old nags, good riders......This ride comes highly recommended.....even got to see wild fruit trees. This is a one of a kind trip well worth the value! Definitely one of the best parts of my vacation! Don't forget to try the ice cream at the store where the trip starts when you get back....delicous.

On the left side, just past the Polynesian Cultural Center, there is a sprawling ranch. It feels more like Arizona than Hawaii, with mostly white people around. There happened to be families with small children gathered there since school was out, but most were just doing short horseback riding experiences. We set off under the guidance of Amanda, who moved here from New York about a year and a half ago. The exhilaration of galloping through the hills and forests is something hard to experience in Japan. I quit the Crane Riding Club out of frustration and have been riding at the Aso Dream Land Club for about three years, but that place has a lot of hills. Here, the flat terrain makes for the best galloping. Our 30-minute private lunch included a gigantic sandwich, juice, water, a mountain of fruit, and a box of macadamia chocolates, which was way too much to finish. I took the chocolates as a souvenir. I was a bit worried about not speaking English. If you're a beginner, they won't let you ride on a course that includes galloping. It's self-reported, but you'll need to sign a waiver, so you're responsible in case of an accident.

ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターを過ぎてまもなくの左側に牧場の敷地が広がっている。白人ばかりで、ハワイというよりアリゾナあたりの感じ。たまたま学校が休みで小さな子供連れの家族が群れていたが、ほとんどは短い体験乗馬。NYから1.5年前にやってきたAmandaの案内でいざ出発。丘陵を林を思いっきり駆け抜ける爽快さは日本では味わいにくい。クレイン乗馬クラブを欲求不満でやめ、阿蘇夢大地のクラブで3年ほど乗っているが、あそこは坂が多い。当地は敷地が平坦ゆえ駈足が最高。30分の僕らだけのランチには、特大のサンドイッチ、ジュース、水、山盛りフルーツ、マカデミアチョコ1箱がついていて、到底食べきれない。チョコはおみやげにもらいました。英語ができないとちょっと心配。乗馬未経験者なら駈足なしのコースじゃないと受けてくれません。自己申告だけど免責書類にサインしますから、事故があっても自己責任ね。

Thank you, Chizuko, for your help during our trip. I climbed Mauna Kea about ten years ago, but we were surprised by a snowstorm. This time, I brought my father along for a comeback, but unfortunately, we couldn't see the stars due to the clouds! So, I rate the cost-performance three stars. If we could have seen them, it would have been four. I'm sorry about that.

However, we were fortunate to catch a glimpse of the sunset through the gaps in the clouds. Chizuko explained about the animals during the drive, and since we had some time, she showed us the horses at Suzuki Ranch, which made the travel time enjoyable. At the summit, the wind was incredibly strong (it was almost at the point where entry would be prohibited), yet she managed to take photos of everyone while trying not to get blown away. My father seemed to be moved by the sunset as well. I plan to come back to see Scorpio!

Oh, but the bento could use a little improvement... It wasn't bad, but I believe it could be tastier! Especially the tamagoyaki! Thank you!

ガイドの千鶴子さん、その節はお世話になりました。１０年ほど前にもマウナケアに登ったのですがまさかの吹雪(>_<)今回は父も連れてリベンジ・・・のつもりが雲で星は見えず残念！ですのでコスパが星３つ。見えたら４つです。ごめんなさい。
でもかろうじて雲と雲の間からサンセットが見えたのだけが救いです。
千鶴子さんは車中でも動物の説明をしてくれたり、時間があったので途中のスズキ牧場の馬を見せてくれたりと移動時間も飽きさせないでくださいました。頂上はものすごい風（これ以上吹いたら立ち入り禁止になるくらい）だったのに、飛ばされそうになりながら皆の写真を撮ってくれました。父も夕日には感動していたようです。さそり座を見にまたリベンジします！
あ、でもお弁当はもうちょっと改善したほうがいいかも・・・。不味くはないのですが、もっと美味しくできるハズ！特に卵焼き！宜しくお願いします~。

This was my husband's favorite excursion. Our guide was very knowledgeable. The views from the summit are breathtaking and well worth the effort.

Kayak Kauai Outbound makes this trip an experience not to be missed. Kelly was an extraordinary guide, enthusiastically sharing his knowledge and passion for the land, the local history and ancient culture. He went out of his way to make the hike interactive and interesting. He has a real gift for this. The operation, overall, is very laid back. You're made to feel comfortable with every aspect of the tour. We highly recommend Kayak Kauai Outbound and will surely be returning on our next visit to the island!

My First Time on the Big Island of Hawaii
I participated because I wanted to fully enjoy nature.

Sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea
Due to the elevation, the wind was strong, and even with a sweater, a parka, and the ski gear I borrowed, along with gloves and a hat, it was still cold when the wind blew. However, the beauty of the sunset I saw amidst that was breathtaking. I was completely captivated by the changes in the sky that I couldn't take my eyes off for even a moment.

The starry sky was a bit lower from the summit, but there were so many stars that I thought there might be even more than in a planetarium. The guide's explanations were clear and interesting.

Of course, the constellations visible change with the seasons.

I definitely want to participate again at a different time of year.

初めてのハワイ島
自然を満喫したくて参加しました。

マウナケア山頂からのサンセット
標高があるために、風が強く、セーターにパーカーそしてお借りした上下のスキーウエア―みたいな防寒具、手袋帽子と完全防寒でも風が吹くと冷たかったです。
しかしその中で見た夕日のきれいなこと
ほんとに一瞬も見逃せない空の変化に、見とれるばかりでした。

星空は山頂から少し下りましたが、プラネタリウムよりもいっぱいの星があるんじゃないかと思うくらい、星だらけ。
ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく、面白かったです。

当たり前ですが、季節が変われば見える星座も変わります。

ぜひ時期を変えてもう一度参加したいです。

I've always wanted to experience this at least once! Even though I'm over 50 years old... This time, the opportunity came, and I took on the challenge. I'm truly overwhelmed with emotion!

Here's my experience. First, when I arrived at the center, I had to sign multiple "waivers." The content stated, "There will be no compensation for any accidents." In short, it's all on you, no matter what happens. It took some courage to sign this.

Finally, it was my turn to board the Cessna. The experienced instructor helped ease my nerves. The Cessna took off and climbed higher and higher. We were truly above the clouds.

Once we reached the altitude for the drop, the atmosphere in the cabin became tense. I tightened my harness and waited for "that moment." The cabin door opened, and it was finally time to drop!!!

When it was my turn, looking down, I saw the clouds below... Here we go! Falling!!! It's an experience that words can't express. Without a doubt, I was flying through the air.

As the large parachute opened, the speed dropped suddenly, allowing me to take in the view below. The endless blue sea spread out beneath me. It was also breathtaking!

When I safely returned, I felt a great sense of accomplishment. For those who are hesitant, I highly recommend it!

Lastly, I recommend getting the photos and DVD. They are a bit pricey, but they are definitely worth it. When you sign up at the center, each person gets their own dedicated cameraman.

That's my experience!

前から、一度は！経験したいと思っていました。年も50才を過ぎているのですが。。。
そのチャンスが今回来て、初挑戦しました。もう感激の一言です！

私の体験記です。
？まず、センターに着くと、「誓約書」に何枚もサインします。「いかなる事故も一切損害賠償はありません。」と言った内容です。　要は何があっても自己責任です。これにサインするのも根性が必要でした。

？いよいよ順番が回って来てセスナに乗り込みます。でも慣れているインストラクターが緊張を解してくれました。セスナは離陸し、どんどん高度を上げます。本当に雲の上でした。

？落下する高度に達すると機内が一気に緊張感に包まれます。命綱をしっかり締めて　”その時”を待ちます。
機内のスライドが明きいよいよ落下です！！！

？ついに私の番になり、下を見ると雲の上です。。いざ！
　落下！！！
　もう言葉に表せない経験です。間違いなく生身で空を飛んでいます。

？途中、大きなパラシュートが開くと、一気にスピードが落ちる代わりに、眼下の景色を見る余裕が生まれます。
果てしなく青い海が眼下に広がります。これも感動！です。

無事に生還！？した時には大きな達成感もあります。
迷っている方！是非ともお薦めですよ。

最後に、写真とDVDはお薦めです。少し金額は高いのですがその価値は十分あります。センターで申し込むと一人一人に専用のカメラマンが付いてくれます。

以上が私の体験記です。

This was an awesome experience in a beautiful setting.

I participated with my husband. As we are approaching 50, we had some concerns about our health, but we joined with the approval of our family doctor. We were eager to see the scenery we had longed for, so we decided to participate.

I was so excited that I worried about motion sickness and took some anti-nausea medication, which turned out to be a mistake. I felt fine overall, but I was incredibly sleepy! I was told, "You can't sleep here~," and while sipping water, I somehow managed to get through it. If you usually don't get motion sickness, I think you might not need to take anything, as the bumpy road is over quickly (just my personal opinion).

We came to see the breathtaking sunset at Mauna Kea, but it was covered in thick clouds (tears). At the summit, our guide was chatting with guides from other companies, and we ended up not knowing what was happening during the sunset (tears). The stars were also cruelly hidden by the pesky clouds.

The stargazing took place at a parking area slightly lower than the summit (with no restrooms), and whether it was due to drinking too much water or the altitude, both my husband and I found ourselves needing the restroom frequently. We had used the facilities at the Onizuka Center and the makeshift restroom at the summit, but stargazing turned into a battle with our bladders. As the clouds gradually thinned and we finally started to see the stars, it was time to leave.

On the way back at the Onizuka Center, I was finally able to use the restroom, and when I looked up at that moment, the sky was filled with stars (tears). That day, all the tours were fully booked, and the Onizuka Center was very crowded, but I wished everyone could have been let down a bit longer to enjoy the starry sky. I think stargazing is better at the Onizuka Center, which has restrooms... Nature and our body's natural reactions are unbeatable! I'll save this experience for my next adventure.

主人と参加しました。
私たちは５０を手前にして、少々体調の心配もありましが、かかりつけ医のＯＫのもと参加しました。どうしても見ておきたい景色にあこがれいざ参加。
ドキドキわくわくで気合がはいりすぎたのか、乗り物酔いが心配になり、酔い止め薬を飲んだのがまずかった。体調は全然大丈夫なのだけど、とにかく眠い！！「ここから寝てはいけませんよ~」と言われて水をちょびちょびのみながら、何とかのりきりました。普段乗り物酔いをしないのなら道が悪いのはあっという間なので（個人的意見ですが）飲まなくてもいいかもって思いました。命がけであこがれのマウナケアサンセットの景色と星を見に来たのに厚い雲に覆われて（涙）山頂では、ガイドさんは他社のガイドさんとお話をされておられ、何がなんだかわからぬままのサンセット（涙）星もにっくき雲にいじわるされました。星空観測は、山頂から少し下がった駐車スペース（トイレなし）での観測でしたが、水の飲みすぎか気圧のせいか私も主人もトイレがものすごく近くなり、（行きのオニヅカセンターでも、山頂の簡易トイレでもちゃんと行ったのですが）観測はトイレとの戦いです。雲もだんだん薄くなってきてやっと星が見えはじめたころに退散です。帰りのオニヅカセンターでやっとトイレができ、その時空を見上げると満天の星（涙）その日はどこのツアーもいっぱいで、オニヅカセンターは大変込み合っていましたが、せっかくならみんな降ろしてあげてやっと満天になった星空もう少し見せてもらえたらって思いました。やはり星の観測はトイレのあるオニヅカセンターのほうがいいかもっ・・・大自然と体の自然現象にはかなわないですね！次の楽しみにとっておきます。

Burberry led the way, while Mac and the dog provided support from behind.

We had quite a long horseback riding session and enjoyed a leisurely stroll through the forest.

結構、乗馬時間も長くて、ゆったり、森の中の散歩を愉しめました。

I had the opportunity to experience skydiving with my wife during our trip to Hawaii, which is something we wouldn't normally do. After about an hour's bus ride from our hotel in Waikiki, we arrived at the center next to the airport.

We were shown a video with poorly spoken Japanese and had to sign a waiver. The waiver was even harder to understand than the video. I understand it was a direct translation, but it was stressful to read and made me a bit anxious.

There was a weight requirement, and since I had been indulging a lot in the past few days, I went to the reception to get weighed. However, none of the staff spoke Japanese. I was surprised that they couldn't understand me, so I had to explain in broken English and was taken to the scale. The scale displayed pounds, which I had never seen before. I was then charged an additional $20 to accommodate my weight, which made me resolve to lose some weight.

After waiting for an hour, I was finally called, fitted with the gear, and received a brief training before boarding the plane. The foreign instructor looked intimidating but kept repeating "exciting" in Japanese, which helped ease the tension.

Before I knew it, we reached an altitude of 14,000 feet. Everyone jumped out one after another, and before I could gather my courage, I was in the air! The wind was intense, but it felt like I was floating rather than falling. Since the ground wasn't getting closer, I couldn't really tell what was happening.

We fell for quite a while before the parachute opened. It felt like it happened so quickly that I finally had time to look around and take in the view. The gear was a bit uncomfortable, but I felt exhilarated. I appreciated the instructor's enthusiasm as he swung us around until we landed.

It was quite a hot day, but it gets pretty cold during the dive, so I recommend wearing long sleeves. It was even chilly during the fall. Finally, I dropped a $20 tip into the box before heading back to Honolulu.

In the end, I spent a decent amount of money, but I think it was much cheaper than doing it in Japan. If you're going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend giving it a try!

スカイダイビングを体験するというか、しようと思う機会はなかなかないので、ハワイ旅行をきっかけに妻と二人で体験してみました。
ワイキキのホテルよりバスで約１時間で、空港隣のセンターに到着。
お世辞にも上手いとは言えない日本語もどきのビデオを見せられ、誓約書にサイン。誓約書はビデオ以上に解読不能。直訳なので仕方ないとは思いますが、読みながらストレスがたまり、ちょっと不安に。
体重の記載があったが、ここ数日の暴飲暴食が気になっていたので、計測しようと受付に行き、日本語で話しかける。
スタッフは誰一人、日本語話せない。えっ？日本語通じないのか？仕方ないので片言の英語で説明し、体重計に連れて行かれる。体重計はポンド表示らしく、見たことない値に。
さらにふくよかな体重を支えるために20$の追加料金を請求される。このとき減量を決意。

そこから待つこと１時間。やっとこ呼ばれて器具を付けられ２~３の講習を受けたのちに飛行機に搭乗。外人インストラクターは見かけは怖いが「ドキドキ」と唯一知っている日本語を連呼して和ませてくれる。
あっと言う間に高度14,000フィートに到着。
あれよあれよと皆が飛び立っていく。覚悟を決めるまもなく私も空中に！
風はとにかくすごいが、落ちているの？という感じ。とにかく地上が近づいてこないため、自分がどうなっているのか良く分らない。
結構長い時間落下し、パラシュートが開く。
飛び立ってからあっという間だったためか、やっと落ち着いて周りを見れるように。
器具が股に挟まってやや痛いが気分は爽快。地上に降り立つまでスイングしてくれたりとサービス精神旺盛のインストラクターに感謝です。

この日は結構暑い日だったんですが、ダイビング中は結構冷えるため、長袖がお勧め。特に落下中は寒いくらいでした。
最後にチップ箱に＄20を投函してホノルルへ。

何だかんだでそこそこお金は払いましたが、日本でやるよりはだいぶ安いと思います。ハワイ行くなら是非挑戦を！

The sunset at the summit of Mauna Kea was truly wonderful and moving, just as I had expected! Before joining the tour, I was worried about feeling unwell due to the altitude of 4,200 meters, but it was fine as we acclimated along the way.

For stargazing, since it was just before a full moon, we couldn't see many stars, but we were able to view Saturn with its rings and the crescent-shaped Venus through the reflecting telescope. We also saw the moonlight reflecting off the sea of clouds, shining brightly. It was a great memory to have the moon, as seen through the reflecting telescope, captured by my own camera. Next time, I would like to join during a new moon to see a sky full of stars.

マウナケア山頂のサンセットは　期待どおり　素晴らしく　感動しました！
ツアーに参加する前は　標高4200メートルまで上がるので、具合が悪くならないか　心配しましたが、途中で　身体を慣らしながら上がるので、大丈夫でした。

星空観測は　満月直前だったので、やはり　あまりたくさんの星は見られませんでしたが、反射望遠鏡で、本当に輪が周りにある土星や、三日月型の金星を見せて頂いたり、月の光が雲海に反射し白く輝いているのも見られました。
反射望遠鏡で見た月を　自分のカメラで撮影して頂けたのも　とても良い記念になりました。
今度は　満天の星空を見るため、新月の時に　参加したいと思いました。　

We took our family on this tour and are glad we did. The kids both ranked it as one of their favorite activities in Kauai. The staff is friendly and playful. We had a ball with them. Kimo and Melissa were our tubing anchors and they did a great job. If you don't want to get wet and your are worried about your make-up and hair... this tour isn't for you. Great family fun. Would have liked a bit more time at the swimming hole at the end of the tour. We recommend!

We participated as a couple and happened to have a private experience with just two other participants. Thanks to Yamauchi's attentive service, we reached the summit joyfully.

Even though there were some clouds making visibility difficult, we were able to move to different spots and enjoyed a stunning sunset and starry sky. The sunset was breathtaking, but the stars were so beautiful that words can't describe it. It was astonishing to see stars that are so different from what we usually see. We were able to see many stars that are rarely visible, and we also spotted several shooting stars. The special stars were truly surprising.

While the stars were amazing, Yamauchi's personality was wonderful, and he was a truly lovely person. His life philosophy and discussions about stars and the universe were captivating and moving. I feel like I can draw strength from remembering Yamauchi whenever I face challenges in life! I heard such great stories.

In any case, I believe participating in this tour is definitely worth it. Considering the content, the price is reasonable. If you're going to join, go with Yamauchi!

This has become the best memory of my time in Oahu and Maui. I definitely want to go again someday. Please continue to show that starry sky to many others, and keep this tour going until the next time I can join!☆

夫婦2人で参加してたまたま参加者2人と貸切状態の参加でした。山内さんの丁寧な対応で楽しく山頂に到着できました。
多少雲があり見にくい状態でも場所の移動などしていただきばっちり夕日、星空を見る事ができました。
夕日も感動的ですばらしかったですが星空はもう言葉にならないほどすごく綺麗でした。ここまで普段見る星と違うのかと。なかなか見れない星がいっぱい見れましたし流れ星もたくさん見れました。とっておきの星はびっくりします。

星も素晴らしかったですが山内さんの人柄がとても良くすごく素敵な方でした。山内さんの人生論や星、宇宙の話などいろいろな話がとても魅力的で感動的でした。これからの人生なんかあったら山内さんを思い出し頑張れる気がします！そんぐらい良い話を聞けました。

とにかくこのツアーは参加して絶対損はしないと思います。内容から考えたら値段も安いと思います。参加するなら山内さんで！

今回のオアフ、マウイでの最高の思い出になりました。いつかまた絶対行きたいです。
これからもいろんな方にあの星空を見せてあげてください。そして次にまた行ける時までずっとこのツアーを続けていてくださいね☆

I went tandem skydiving for the first time this time. After some hesitation, I decided to challenge myself from 14,000 feet!

The divers, photographers, and all the staff were cheerful and funny! After a brief lecture, we set off immediately. Before I could even feel scared (in about 15 minutes), we arrived at the drop zone and dove into the beautiful sky of the North Shore without any time to hesitate!!

I experienced a view and excitement like I had never seen before all at once☆ It really gets your adrenaline pumping!

If you are prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must. (It shakes a lot during the parachute descent.)

今回初めてのスカイダイビングでタンデムダイビングしてきました。
迷った末14000フィートからチャレンジしました！

ダイバー、カメラマンをはじめスタッフは陽気で面白い奴ばかりでした！
簡単なレクチャーと終えたら即出発。怖がる間もなく(約15分)で落下地点に到着し嫌がる暇もなくノースショアの美しい空にダイビング！！

今まで見たことのない景色と興奮を一度に味わえました☆
テンション上がります！

乗物酔いしやすい方は酔い止め必須です。(パラシュート落下中にとても揺れます)

We had a great time. The two young tour guides were awsome!!!I would do it again. The veiws were spectacular and the tour was just long enough to keep me going. My recognition goes to the staff. They were funny, entertaining, knowledgeable and made the whole trip. I wish there was an advanced trail for returning visitors.

It was a most enjoyable day we had. The hike was interesting and entertaining with a enthusiastic and informed guide.
The bike ride was good and the views at the lunch break stop was magnificent.

While we all had a lot of fun and took some great pics, the 2-hour ride ended up closer to 3 hours. Although I'm not an expert on horses, it seemed to all of us that the horses were exhausted and hungry. The house and surrounding grounds are not well maintained with too much trash around and lots of tall weeds around the buildings and lots. There were two guides. Our main guide was the younger one, and he was very nice. The other tour guide kept coming back and trying to make the horses run and go faster, which was a little unnerving for beginners...especially since the majority of the ride was either uphill or downhill on very rocky terrain. There was very little pasture riding. As the tour description indicates, you will get VERY dusty. We are glad we went for the ride, but would much rather have taken a shorter, easier ride for our first time. It's definitely a great picture-taking opportunity.

Seeing the starry sky at Mauna Kea was my husband's dream. It came true. I was a bit anxious since it’s said to be taller than Mount Fuji, but it was fine. I brought a fleece and a thin down jacket, but they also lent me a very warm jacket, pants, and a cute penguin hat. It was really cold and the wind was strong, but the stars were amazing. It was moving. The tour guide was very pleasant and taught us many things, which was really great. The newlyweds were calling each other Yamachan and Macchan. I also recommended this tour to a friend who wants to go to the Big Island.

マウナケアで、星空見るのは、主人の夢でした。　　　　　　夢がかないました。富士山より高い山とゆうことでしたので、少し不安でしたが、大丈夫でしたよ。フリースと、薄いダウンも、持参しましたが、とても暖かい上着と、ズボンと、かわいいペンギンの帽子も、かしてくれました。　　　すごく寒くて、風も、強かったけど、すごい星でした。感動です。こちらの、ツアーの人は、とても感じ良くて、いろんなことも教えてくれて、すごく良かったですよ。新婚さんが、やまちやん、まっちゃん、とよんでました。　　　　　ハワイ島に行きたがってるともだちにも、この、ツアーをすすめておこました。

We are first timers and enjoyed the entire experience .The guides did a super job and kept the activity moving and fun.

It truly became the best memory!

I thought I should try skydiving at least once in my life, and it really turned out to be an unforgettable experience. As many experienced jumpers say, I never felt that floating sensation like on a roller coaster; until the parachute opened, I was just lying flat in strong winds (but the view was absolutely amazing, unlike anything in my daily life!). Once the parachute opened, even though I was at a considerable altitude, I felt no resistance at all—it was truly a walk in the sky!

This first dive was so wonderful that it made me want to go skydiving again somewhere.

By the way, since I signed up with three friends, we went without a shuttle and drove there with a rental car. Rental cars in Hawaii are very affordable, so if you're comfortable with left-hand driving, it might be better to go on your own to save time.

本当に最高の思い出となりました！

人生一度は、、と思い今回念願のスカイダイビングとなりましたが本当に忘れられない思い出となりました。
経験者はみなさんおっしゃってますが、所謂ジェットコースターのようなふわっと感は一度も感じることなく、パラシュートが開くまではただ強風の上で大の字になっているだけ（でも景色は自分の日常生活から考えられない素晴らしさ！）、パラシュートが開いてからはかなりの高度があるものの何の抵抗も感じることが無く、まさに空中散歩！

絶対にまたスカイダイビングをどこかでやろうと思わせてくれた素敵な1st diveとなりました。

ちなみに友人3名との申込みだった為送迎無しで申込み、レンタカーで行きました。
ハワイはレンタカーが非常に安いので左ハンドル問題無い方はご自身で行かれた方が時間の無駄はないかもしれません。
