All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

We did the tubing adventure on Thanksgiving morning. It was so much fun. The tubing portion was about an hour and I only wish it was longer. It really was fun!! They put out a nice lunch (make your own sandwich) for us after it was over but I would recommend offering a bit more food. What was offered was very good though. The guides were great and lots of fun. I highly recommend this adventure!!!

I originally liked thrill rides at amusement parks, but I have to admit I was scared just before jumping. However, once I jumped, it felt amazing!! I didn't feel scared at all. I understand why people get hooked on it.

In the group I participated with, there were some who weren't good with thrill rides, but even they said it was really fun after jumping and that they weren't scared while in the air.

After we finished jumping, we had to wait about two hours until our car departed, but since I was there alone, I played frisbee and catch with the staff, so the time flew by. I can only have very simple conversations in English (or rather, I mostly communicated through gestures), but the staff played with me without any signs of annoyance.

This became a really nice memory, so for those who will challenge this in the future, if you find yourself with free time after jumping, muster up the courage to talk to the local staff. I'm sure you'll create some fun memories!

もともと遊園地などの絶叫系は好きですが、さすがに飛ぶ直前は怖かったです。
でも飛んでしまえば最高に気持ちいい！！怖いという感覚は一切なかったです。ハマる気持ちが分かります。
一緒に参加したグループの中には絶叫系が苦手な人もいましたが、その人も飛んだ後は、すごく楽しかったし飛んでる間は怖くなかったと言っていました。

飛び終えた後は帰りの車が出発するまで２時間くらい待たなければいけませんでしたが、一人で参加していた私はスタッフの方たちとフリスビーやキャッチボールをして遊んでいたのであっという間でした。
私は英語は本当に簡単な会話しかできませんが（というか、ほぼ会話無しでジェスチャーのみでやりとりしました）スタッフの方たちは嫌な顔1つせず一緒に遊んでくれました。
これもとてもいい思い出になりましたので、これから挑戦する方は、飛び終えた後ヒマになったら、勇気を出して現地スタッフに話しかけてみてください。
きっと楽しい思い出ができますよ！

I joined because I wanted to ride a bicycle, but I found walking through the jungle to be very enjoyable. Our guide, Corey, was also fun and there was nothing to complain about. However, please note that the guide speaks only English. Thank you to Kana, who participated with us. My wife and I can hardly speak any English, so having an interpreter was incredibly helpful. The view from Tantalus Lookout during the daytime while riding a bicycle was also very beautiful.

自転車に乗りたくて参加しましたが、ジャングルを歩くのはとても楽しいものだと思いました。ガイドのコリーさんも楽しくて言うこと無し。ただ注意していただきたいのはガイドが全て英語です。一緒に参加したカナさんありがとうございました。僕たち夫婦はほとんど英語が話せないので、通訳してもらいめちゃくちゃ助かりました。そして自転車で降る昼間のタンタラスの丘からの景色もとても綺麗でした。

I booked a half-day tour with Na'alapa Stables.

I had some anxiety since I had no experience with horseback riding, but I was able to ride without any problems.

The guide gave instructions in English, but they taught us horseback riding using simple words and gestures, so even beginners quickly got used to it.

Along the way, we enjoyed the breathtaking views of Waipi'o Valley, and the course was varied, including riding through the river.

Waipi'o Valley is worth seeing just for the views, but I highly recommend the horseback riding tour.

If there's one downside, it was that the meeting point was hard to find. We happened to stumble upon it. It would be better if it were easier to locate.

ナアラパ・ステープルズの半日ツアーを申し込みました。

乗馬未経験だったので、不安はありましたが、問題なく乗ることができました。

ガイドさんの指示は英語なんですが、簡単な単語と身振り手振りで乗馬を教えてくれたので、未経験者でもすぐに慣れました。

そして、道中、ワイピオ渓谷の絶景を楽しむことができるとともに、川の中を馬で進むなど、コースもバラエティに富んでいました。

ワイピオ渓谷は見るだけでも値打ちがありますが、乗馬での観光は非常にお勧めできます。

１つだけ難があるとすれば、集合場所がわかりにくかったところですね。我々は偶然にたどりつけました。そこが分かりやすいともっといいと思います。

I went to see the sunset, and it was incredibly beautiful! The sunset was great, but unfortunately, there were clouds in the sky, so I couldn't see the stars. However, the guides were very engaging and tried their best until the very end... their service was excellent.

When we had our lunch just before reaching the summit, we enjoyed warm miso soup, tea, and cocoa, which really helped warm us up.

Additionally, they lent us ski wear-like outerwear, which was great! Other tour participants only had outerwear for the upper body, so they looked very cold.

The summit is quite chilly. The restroom is also quite scary—it's very dark.

But the beauty of the sunset made me forget the cold.

Also, the guides actively took photos for us, and even though we didn't have many pictures of the two of us, they captured some wonderful commemorative photos.

I'm sure I would have been even more moved if I could have seen the stars, but it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it. The people who participated in the tour with us said, "This means we have to come back again!"

That's true. I definitely want to try again.

サンセットを見に行きましたが、めちゃくちゃキレイでした！！
サンセットはとても良い感じで見れたのですが、残念な事に星空は上空に雲が出てしまい、見ることが出来ませんでした。
でも、ガイドさんたちはいろいろ盛り上げてくれたり、最後の最後までトライしてくれたり・・・対応がとても良かったです。

山頂手前でいただいたお弁当の時は、温かいお味噌汁、お茶、ココアなどいただき、これがまた体を温めてくれました。

それに、上下でスキーウェアのような防寒具を貸していただき、これは良かった！！
他のツアーの人は上だけの防寒具だったりしてたので、とても寒そうに見えました。

山頂はかなり寒いです。
トイレもかなり怖いです。真っ暗で。

ケド、寒さを忘れるくらい、サンセットはキレイでした。

また、ガイドさんが積極的に写真を撮って下さり、2人の写真があまりなかったなか、記念のステキな写真を撮っていただけました。

きっと星空が見えたらもっと感動してたと思いますが、自然の事ですから、仕方がないですよね。
ツアーに一緒に参加してた人たちは『これは、もう一回来いって事よね！』って言ってました。

その通りですね。
是非、再チャレンジしてみたいと思います。

It was my first time kayaking, and it was a lot of fun. We sat in a two-person boat, going upstream for about an hour. Then we walked through the jungle, during which the guide taught us various things. We had lunch in front of a waterfall and then returned to where we started by kayak.

I think it's fine to wear a swimsuit underneath with a shirt and shorts. I would recommend avoiding athletic shoes or flip-flops, as the paths in the jungle are quite muddy and your feet will get messy. We rented sports sandals from the tour company for a fee.

Of course, since the guide speaks only English, I think it would be more enjoyable if you understand English.

カヤックは初めてでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
2人乗りのボートに前後で座って、1時間弱ぐらい上流へ行きます。そのごジャングルの中を歩きながら進みますが、その途中でガイドさんが色々なことを教えてくれます。滝の前で昼食を食べその後カヤックで出発したところに戻ります。
服装は水着を中にきてシャツと短パンでOKだと思います。
運動靴やビーチサンダルは止めておいたほうが良いと思います。ジャングルの中はかなりの泥道で足がぐちゃぐちゃになります。私たちは、お金を払ってツアー会社からスポーツサンダルを借りました。
もちろんガイドさんは全て英語の為英語がわかるほうが楽しめると思います。

My husband and I loved this zipline adventure. We loved Hawaii but this just made the trip perfect. I had never done it before (my husband had) and to be honest I will a little bit scared but as soon as we started I had so much fun. Our guides were amazing. So fun, friendly and careful. We participated along with a family of 5 (3 children and their parents). They had so much fun too! I HIGHLY recommend everyone try this. The lines are safe, the views are spectacular and it will really make your vacation special!

The mixed nuts available as a snack felt very international, which was nice.
Hiking is common, but downhill was unique and enjoyable even for beginners!
Since there was no climbing involved, it was also a relief physically.
I think the price could be a bit lower.

おやつでもらえるミックスナッツが海外らしくてよかった。
ハイキングはありきたりだけど、ダウンヒルはめずらしくて、初心者にも楽しめました！
登りがないので・・・体力的にも助かりました。
もう少し価格がやすくてもいいのでは？

I participated in the Mauna Kea summit tour with Masashi Nature. We were able to drive to the summit in a short time that made the height of Mauna Kea feel insignificant, and at the top, we witnessed a wonderful sunset. I could truly feel the height and grandeur of the mountain.

The starry sky was filled with so many stars that I was left in awe, spending time just taking it all in. They took many photos, and when I checked their website, I saw the pictures from that time uploaded.

The warm miso soup we had for dinner was delicious. Masashi Nature always provides a wonderful tour of the Big Island of Hawaii. I will definitely use their services again.

マサシネイチャーでマウナケア山頂ツアーに参加しました。
マウナケアの高さを感じさせないほどの短時間で車で頂上まで登れ、頂上ではすばらしい日没を見れました。高さと雄大さを実感できました。
　星空も満天の星とはこれを言うのだと思えるほどの降り注ぐ星にただ呆然として時間をすごしました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくださいましてHPを見たらその時の写真がアップされていました。
　と夕で食べた夕飯の暖かい味噌汁がおいしかったです
いつもマサシネイチャーさんにはすばらしいハワイ島を案内してもらっています。又、利用させていただきます

Professional Staff! Incredible views over the north shore & country side that you simply cannot get on ground level. This was my first time in a helicopter...totally recommend for anyone.

This trip was worth every penny and more. The guide, Garry, was knowledgeable and went beyond to find all the birds on our list and spent extra time helping all see them. Guide, John, knew every native plant I asked about growing among the beautiful lava path. The tour was like being part of a scene from an Indiana Jones movie. Will be back to do the other NWR ecotour since I loved it so much.

Overall, this was fun.The main guide was knowledgeable and really knew his constellations. One negative was they should have had the single guy sit by the guide and let my husband & I sit together.They both ended up yelling to each other across the aisle over me on the drive back.

I participated to go see the starry sky.

One thing that is good to prepare is the iTunes app "Star Walk." I realized that the satellite moving around was the Hubble. Thanks to my cold weather preparations, it wasn't too cold. The lower area was clear, but if it were raining, the experience might be different.

There are several opportunities to take group photos. This is a matter of preference, but group photos can feel a bit lacking in spirit. If I participate next time, I might skip the group photos.

For those who want to take their time photographing the starry sky, there is a way to get to Onizuka on your own. Since there can be fog in the lower area and winding roads, I think it would be good to participate in a tour like this once for some preparation.

星空を見に行くために参加しました。

準備した方がよいものは、itunesのアプリ「star walk」
とことこ動いていた衛星はハッブルだとわかりました。
寒さ対策をしたせいか、あまり寒くはなかったです。
下界が晴れていたのですが、雨だとまた体感が違うのかもしれません。

集合写真を何回か撮る機会があります。
これは好みだと思いますが、集合写真は心が抜けますね。
もし次回参加するならば、集合写真は参加しなくてもいいかな？

星空をゆっくり撮りたい方は、onizukaまで自力で行く方法もあります。
下界の霧とか、ワイディングロードなので
一度このようなツアーに参加して予習すると良いと思います。

I previously participated in an attraction and had a one-hour horseback riding experience, but I felt it was a bit lacking. This time, I found a two-hour course, so I was really looking forward to it. It met my expectations, and the course allowed me to fully enjoy the great outdoors with its hills and valleys.

以前にアトラクションに参加して、１時間の乗馬体験をしましたが少し物足りなさを感じていました。今回は２時間のコースを見つけたのでとても楽しみにしていました。期待通りで、コースも山あり谷ありの大自然を満喫できるものでした。

My husband and I were island-hopping on our honeymoon when we participated in the Zipline Safari with Hiking and Kayaking in Kauai. One of our guides said he felt it was his job to make us fall in love with his island, and this tour certainly helped us do that. The price was fair for all of the inclusions of the tour, and the lunch provided was more than enough food. We had never been kayaking, but the river was very smooth and calm, so we were able to keep up and didn't have any issues. The hikes, swimming spots, stories, and "history lessons" were amazing. I have never seen such a beautiful forest. The Zipline was awesome as well and our guides took every safety precaution necessary to make us feel at ease. I would definitely recommend this activity for anyone looking for a more physical adventure. Be sure to wear a bathing suit, sunscreen, and bring hiking sandals or water socks because you should definitely get wet!

We came to Honolulu for a relative's wedding as a couple before retirement, but since we aren't interested in shopping, we planned to do some driving and hiking in the mountains.

The downhill mountain biking was cool and refreshing. I can only imagine how much fun it would be if we could go to a higher place and go even faster! But we had a great time nonetheless.

The jungle hike was also interesting, climbing through the mud in heavy boots was quite a unique experience. It might be tough for beginners, but you can't find this kind of experience anywhere else.

The guide was friendly and truly felt like a professional from America. We were picked up at 9 AM and dropped off at the hotel at 3:30 PM, with just a restroom break in the early afternoon. This might be a bit tough for middle-aged women.

定年前夫婦で親戚の婚礼のためにホノルルに来ましたが、買い物に興味がないためドライブや山歩きを予定に入れました。
マウンテンバイクのダウンヒルは涼しくて爽快でした。もっと高い場所に連れて上がって貰って、もっとスピードを出せたらどんなに楽しいか！でも充分に楽しめました。
ジャングルハイクも重い長靴でぬかるみを登っていくのも珍しくて興味深かったです。確かに初級者ではきついでしょうが、こんな経験は他ではなかなかできません。
ガイドさんもフレンドリーで流石にアメリカのプロという感じでした。
９時に最初にピックアップ、３時半に最後にホテルへ送ってもらい、途中昼過ぎにトイレ休憩があるだけ。中高年女性にはそれが少しきついかも知れません。

This was our first time and we loved it! The views were spectacular, it was fun, and was an overall good time. Be prepared to get down and dusty though if you are at the back of the ATV line up! Thanks Michael for the tour, we really enjoyed it!

Haleakalā Volcano is a mountain that rises over 3,000 meters, with its summit above the clouds. The sunset viewed from there is a breathtaking sight as it sinks beyond the clouds, leaving a lasting impression.

Additionally, listening to the guide Yamapee's stories while gazing at the starry sky was heartwarming and intriguing, making me feel incredibly positive.

The tour was very satisfying, as we were shown the moon and star clusters through a telescope, heard stories about constellations, and enjoyed everything from the sunset to the starry sky.

ハレアカラ火山は、３，０００メートルを超える山でその山頂は雲の上。そこから見る夕日は、雲の向こうに沈んでいく幻想的な光景で、感動でした。
また、星空を見上げながら聞くガイドのYamapeeさんのお話は、心温まる＆興味深い話で、すごく前向きな自分になれた気がします。
天体望遠鏡で月や星群を見せてもらったり、星座の話を聞いたり、夕日から星空まで、大満足なツアーでした。

The ride itself was very nice along the beach area. I was a first time rider and the staff work with me providing instructions on controlling the horse, so don't be afraid to try this experience if you have never rode a horse.

The only difficulty is that we were staying in Waikiki and the event took place on the North Shore. There is no transportation options offered by the event, but we rented a car for the day and were able to tour more of the island following the ride.

Overall, I highly recommend this activity.

The guides and horses were great but the trails and scenery were disappointing.

I get motion sickness easily, so the trip there and back was tough (it was quite a ride). However, I’m really glad I went. The sunset and starry sky... they were truly beautiful. I definitely think you should see it with your own eyes.

私は乗り物酔いがひどいので、行き帰りは大変でした（かなり飛ばします）。ただ、それでもやっぱり行って良かったです。夕日と星空・・・本当に美しかったです。是非、ご自身の目で見て欲しいと思います。

It was wonderful!

すばらしかった！

The sunset at Mauna Kea, which is higher than Mount Fuji, was wonderful. On the opposite side of the setting sun, there was a full moon, creating a magical atmosphere. Thanks to the full moon, stargazing was a bit challenging, though. The oxygen is indeed thin, but taking regular breaks to acclimate helped, so it wasn't a problem. However, it is really cold, so warm clothing is essential. At Masashi's Nature, they provided warm outerwear, but it seems that other companies only offer a poor-quality jacket, so I think it's worth considering that aspect as well.

富士山よりも高いマウナケアでのサンセット素晴らしいものでした。その、沈む太陽の反対側には満月があり幻想的でした。満月のおかげで星空観測は微妙でしたが・・。酸素は確かに薄いけどマメに体を慣らす休憩をとって下さったので問題ありません。ただ、本当に寒いので必須防寒。マサシ−ズ　ネイチャ-では上下の温かい防寒を貸してもらえましたが他社では気の毒な程度の上着しか与えられてないみたいなので、そのあたりもポイントにすると良いと思います。

Mattias was a great tour guide and knew a lot about the hike. I took my 8 year old son along and he had a great time as well. It was beautiful.

My husband and I spent a lot of money on activities to do while we were on the Big Island, and the zipline was worth every single penny!!!!! Our guides were nothing short of amazing! They knew so much about the history and it was amazing how much they did know and pointed things out to us! We had the best experience and I would highly recommend ziplining and using Kohala zipline Canopy Adventure! Our instructors, Matt and Ashley, let us have fun and also taught us to be safe. I can not say this enough.....best time of my life!

I was really scared before flying, but once I was in the air, it was so much fun and felt great, and the scenery was beautiful. It truly became the best memory. I felt at ease since I could communicate in Japanese, and the instructor was fun and a nice person. I want to do it again!!

飛ぶ前はすごく怖かったけど飛んでしまえば、すごく楽しくて気持ち良くて、景色も綺麗で本当に最高の思い出になりました。日本語も通じて安心でき、インストラクターも楽しくいい人でした。またやりたいです！！

I participated with a friend.
The tour guide was a local person, but they spoke excellent Japanese, and we had no trouble at all; it was a fun experience.
We spent a satisfying and enjoyable hour in nature that flew by.
Thank you, Katie!!

友人と２人で参加しました。
ツアーガイドの方が現地の方でしたが、上手な日本語で全く不自由することなく、楽しくガイドをしてくださいました。
自然と触れ合いながら、満足のいく楽しいあっという間の１時間を過ごさせてもらいました。
ケイティさん、ありがとう！！

Jon, our guide and driver, was very pleasant. Although the Fairmont Hotel was not on the list for drop-offs, he took us there. I was worried about transportation to the hotel late at night, but this unexpected service was a great help.

Additionally, for stargazing, even after the other group of Japanese participants finished early, he said that Jupiter would soon be rising and showed us Jupiter. Since only the English tour was available, it was a reluctant choice, but I was fortunate to have booked this one.

It was also cheaper than the tours aimed at Japanese participants, so I recommend this option for those who are considering it.

ガイド兼ドライバーの　Jon　さんが感じ良かった。
フェアモントホテルは帰りの送りの対象ではなかったのに送ってくれました。深夜のホテルまでの足を心配してましたが
思いがけないサービスに助かりました。

また星空観察も他の日本人のみのグループが早々と終了した後も、まもなく木星が登ってくるといって木星まで見せてくれました。英語ツアーしか残ってなかったのでやむをえず？の選択でしたが、ここを申し込んだことがかえって幸いしました。

日本人向けのツアーよりお安めでしたし、これからの方はこちらをお勧めします。

Cycling throught the rain forest was a great exsperence seeing all the places were film were made and just being at one in the forest. the guild was very good and helpfull. Enjoyed the whole thing thank you

Everyone is writing various things, but if you're unsure, just go for it. I can't do a 10-meter bungee jump, but the fear was almost zero. The staff were friendly, which was great, but the driver's "give me a tip" was a bit annoying. Well, I guess there are many people who wouldn't pay unless they insist. By the way, tips alone can run about $50 per person, but it's still worth doing. I recommend it.

皆さんいろいろ書かれてますが、確かに迷ったら飛べですな。１０ｍのバンジーできない僕ですが、恐怖はゼロに近かったですね。スタッフの皆さんもフレンドリーでよかったのですが、ドライバーさんの「チップよこせ」がちょっとうざい。まあ、しつこく言わなきゃ払わんやつが多いんだろうけど。ちなみにチップだけで一人50ドル位飛んでいきますが、それでもやる価値ありますね。オススメです。
