All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

Since it was my first time booking individually online, I was nervous until the pickup arrived, but Yamapee came to greet me personally, and it went smoothly.

The sunset and starry sky were beyond my imagination!! It's not just about watching the sunset. The clouds illuminated by the sunset along the way to the summit showed wonderful expressions one after another, making me feel like I had become a hermit. Everything is on a grand scale.

Many people seem to come to Maui seeking something beyond just the scenery, whether it's healing, purification, or to gain energy, but being in that vast nature makes the chaotic daily life feel very small, and it brings a gentle feeling.

Lying down in a completely silent place and gazing at the star-filled sky. It's just that, yet for some reason, I couldn't stop crying. It was a mysterious experience.

I am grateful to Yamapee for taking the time to let me enjoy Maui's nature.

I definitely want to go again, but I would appreciate it if the fried items in the bento could be reduced (>_<). They are heavy for my stomach...

初めてネットから個人で予約したので、お迎えが来るまでドキドキでしたが、ホテルまでYamapeeさん（若く見えますが、半世紀仲間です(*^^)）が直々にお迎えに来てくれ、スムーズでした。

サンセットと星空は、想像以上！！
ただの、夕日見学じゃないですよ。
山頂までの途中に見える、夕焼けに照らされる雲も、次々にすばらしい表情を見せてくれて、自分が仙人にでもなった感覚です。
とにかく、全てのスケールが大きいです。

癒しとか浄化とか、パワーもらいたいとか、景色という目的以外に、マウイには何かを求めて来る方が多いみたいですが、あの大きな自然の中にいると、ゴチャゴチャしている日常生活はとても小さい事に思えて、優し~い気持ちになれます。

全く音のない場所で、満天の星を寝そべって見る。
ただそれだけなのに、なぜか涙が止まらなくなる。
不思議な体験でした。

ゆっくりと時間を取って、マウイの自然を満喫させてくれるYamapeeさんに感謝です。

ぜひまた行きたいですが、お弁当の揚げ物少なくしてもらえると嬉しいなぁ(>_<)
おばちゃんの胃には、重い・・・。

This was an awesome ride on the beach. And YES you DO ride on the beach. The area is beautiful and could see the whales playing in the ocean as we rode. The white sands of the beaches against the turquoise water was breathtaking.

I took the private ride and it is definitely not a standard trail ride. The polo horses were very well behaved and easy to ride. I recommend this to anyone who loves horses and has always wanted to ride on the beach in Hawaii.

Would definitely book this again when back on the island.

The guide was very kind.
The scenery was amazing.
The starry sky was also fantastic.
It was really cold!
I brought two pairs of gloves and earmuffs, so I was fine, but my friend who was with me got so cold during the stargazing that they were in "I want to get back to the car quickly!" mode. They do lend out winter clothing, but it’s better to prepare your own as well.

At that time, I wasn't climbing mountains, but now that I do, I wish I had gone to the "real summit."

ガイドさんもとても親切
景色は最高
星空も最高
すごく寒い！
私は手袋２枚＆耳当てを持っていき大丈夫でしたが、同行の友達は星空観測の途中からあまりの寒さに「早く車に入りたい！」というモードになってしまっていたそうです。防寒着貸してくれますが、プラス自分でも防寒着、用意してしてしすぎることはないです。

当時は山登りをしていなかったのですが、今は山に登るようになったため、「本当の山頂」に行ってみたかったなあ、と今になって思います。

For those of us who enjoy flying (and for those who are not sure), this is a once in a lifetime experience (to soar in Oahu Northern shore). Great time if weather allows, stunning views (we saw even whales...) !

I'm glad I was able to see many shooting stars. I was also moved by the sunset over Mauna Kea. The bento was delicious too.

流れ星が沢山みれてよかったです。
マウナケアに沈む夕日にも感動しました。
お弁当もおいしかったです。

My first time on the Big Island of Hawaii!

It was cloudy, so I was worried about whether I could see the sunset and the starry sky, but the sunset was beautifully visible between the clouds. As time passed, the clouds cleared up, and in the end, I was able to see the stars well enough to be satisfied!!

It was moving!!

However, it was really cold, and I was a bit scared because I felt dizzy and had numbness in my hands and feet, which didn't go away for a while.

But I'm glad I participated. I want to try again when the weather is nice.

初ハワイ島！

曇ってたのでサンセットも星空も見えるか心配でしたが、
サンセットは雲と雲の間から綺麗に見えました。
星空も時間が経過するにつれて雲が無くなって、
最後は満足できるぐらい見えました!!

感動!!

でもめちゃ寒かったのと、
高山病なのか？ふらふらするのと手足のしびれが
しばらく治らなくてちょっとびびりました。

でも参加して良かったです。
次は天気の良い時に再チャレンジしたいです。

My Mom, Sister and I went tubing, thinking that this would be a great time to catch some sun...we were very disappointed that the day was rainy. We went to the tubing anyway, and were we ever greatful that we did.
The experience that we had was very memorable...we bought a camera there and took pictures, we had so much fun!!
The staff was funny, experienced and knowledgeable. They made the drive up and back go so quickly, and the tubing, a once in a lifetime memory.
We are all "non-swimmers" so being in the water we were comfortable, being that it was shallow, and that they catered to making sure you got in and were ok all along.
The age span between Mother (57) and Daughter (29), made no difference, we all had just as much fun as the others.
Thank you for providing such a fun experience for our family!!

My Wife and I had a great time. We saw the whole Island of Oahu.

The northshore and waterfall was very good. You get the best views from the sky. The pilot (Josh) narrated very good and was funny. I would highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed.

We took our trip on 1-15-2011 and it was incredible. What a chance to see the island like never before. I believe we took 200 pictures. You have to go for a hour or you may feel you got cheated on your time, because it goes by really fast.

If you only have time to do one hike while in Hawaii, I suggest this one. Hiking through a rainforrest is something you'll never forget. Part of the hike is on a path and part of it your guide is creating for you, Our guide Mattias is very fun and knew all about the history of the area.

The bike ride was an adventure and thank God DOWN HILL! Your so busy concentrating on the road you don't get to see much of your surroundings, however we did stop for lunch at a beautiful overlook of the city.

This adventure is highly recommended, but only if you don't mind a little mud.

Thanks for the good time!!!

Last year, my son and his wife participated in a tour and said, "It was really great!" so I decided to join as well.

It was surprisingly cold for Hawaii, but they provided warm clothing, and the stunning scenery made me forget the cold!

You can overlook the sea of clouds and watch the sunset from the mountaintop, which looks like a sunrise despite being a sunset, so I used the photos taken there for my New Year's cards♪

The starry sky was also amazing, and I was able to refresh my mind so much that I forgot about the busyness in Japan.

If you're going to the Big Island, this is definitely a tour you can't miss!

昨年、息子夫婦がツアーに参加し、「とてもよかった！」と言っていたので参加してみました。

ハワイとは思えない寒さでしたが、防寒具も貸してもらえるし、寒さも忘れるほどのすばらしい景色！


雲海を見下ろし、山頂でサンセットを見ることができるのですが、サンセットでありながら日の出のように見えるので、ここで撮ってもらった写真を年賀状の写真にしました♪

星空もすばらしく、日本での忙しさを忘れるほど「心のリフレッシュ」ができました。

ハワイ島にいくなら絶対に外せないツアーです！

Nice boat, nice day, nice crew, not so nice fish. We all enjoyed ourselves. Very relaxing!

The views of both the sunset and the starry sky were absolutely amazing. I specifically planned this Hawaii trip with this as the main focus, checking the new moon and making reservations, so the starry sky was perfect. The only slight disappointment was that we arrived near the summit a bit late, which left us with little time to enjoy the sunset. From there, we walked to the actual summit (for those who wanted to), but the sun had already set before we reached the top. Additionally, it was mentioned that binoculars would be provided, but in reality, there were only warm clothing and nothing like that. On the way back, I sat near the driver's seat, so I was able to hear various local information from the guide, which was very easy to understand. I recommend sitting near the driver's seat as it allows for more conversation.

サンセット＆星空ともに最高の景色が楽しめました。特に今回のハワイ旅行はこれをメインと考えて、新月を調べて予約しましたので満点の星空で最高でした。少し残念なのは、頂上付近に到着するのが少し遅く、サンセットを眺める時間が短かったことです。そこから、本当の山頂まで歩いたのですが（希望者のみ）、山頂到着前に日が沈んでしまいました。それから、双眼鏡つきと記載されていましたが、実際には防寒着だけでそのようなものは無かったです。帰りは運転席近くに座っていたのでガイドの方からいろいろな現地情報も聞け、大変分かりやすかったので運転席近くの席のほうが雑談が出来るのでお薦めです。

It was a valuable experience that everyone should try at least once in their lifetime. It was really exciting. Whether I want to do it again is another story, but it was a wonderful experience.

The cost was a bit high due to various tips and fees, so there was a slight gap in expectations, but I guess it can't be helped.

The instructor was nice, and I'm glad I returned safely.

一生のうちで一度は体験した方がいい、貴重な体験でした。
すごくエキサイティングです。
もう一回やりたいかどうかは別ですが、素敵な体験でした。

料金は、チップがもろもろかかるので、何だかんだで高くなり若干ギャップはありましたが、まあ仕方ないかというかんじです。

インストラクターはいい方で、ぶじかえれてよかったです。

Kipu Zipline Safari was a blast!! The tour is packed with 7 hours of fun activities. Although little pricey, but there is no other tour package on the island that can rival the Kipu Safari in terms of excitement. The tour guides are very knowledgeable about the island and extremely friendly. They're also very careful in handling our food. However, for those of you whose ideas of fun includes relaxing and sunbathing at the beach, this trip is not for you. But, if you're interested in little adventures and learnings and don't mind getting wet and muddy, this trip is not be missed.

I had a great time at Hawaii Polo ride! I've been on a horse before at a different commercial ranch, so I wasn't expecting much. Usually the horses are pretty worn down, tired and boring. Oh boy, this wasn't the case at all. All the horses at Hawaii Polo Club are well trained professional polo horses, so they are young, strong, muscular and ready to trot. They are just gorgeous to look at!

Even the guide from Argentine was a professional polo player/trainer, so he knew all about the horses. (I didn't know that Argentine was the capital of polo!) He explained to us what to do and what not to do with the horse. I was a bit nervous first since the horse was a professional polo horse, and you know what they say about how the horse can feel your fear! But the guide made me feel relaxed, and I definitely enjoy the ride on the beautiful beach on North Shore.

This is highly recommended! Very romantic for couples for sure.

I had high expectations while waiting for the hotel pickup, but once the tour began, the enjoyable stories and detailed explanations made the journey to the destination fly by, and before I knew it, we were at the main event: the sunset. The view was breathtaking, far exceeding my expectations. The stargazing afterward was also fantastic. The explanations of the constellations were clear and excellent. The overall itinerary was challenging due to the location, but the tour guide was always attentive to the participants' well-being, which was reassuring. It was a very memorable tour. Thank you very much.

かなりの期待をしてホテルまでお迎えに来てくださるのを待っていましたが、いざツアーが始まると現地到着までの楽しいお話と詳しい説明であっという間にメインイベントのサンセットを迎えました。予想をはるかに超えた絶景でした。その後の星空鑑賞も言うことなしでした。星座の説明も分り易く最高でした。全体の行程は場所が場所だけにハードですが、ツアーガイドの方が常に参加者の体の状態に気を配って下さるところも安心できました。とても記憶に残るツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

The pickup was slightly delayed due to Hawaii time, and the borrowed warm clothing wasn't very clean, but other than that, I was very satisfied.

A highlight was our guide, Yamachan. Initially, a man from Osaka sitting next to me on the bus said, "You were lucky to have Yamachan. I've requested him five times." I thought, "Really?" but it turned out to be true luck.

His commentary on the bus was full of humor and hit all the interesting points, and he even made a stop at a supermarket for those who didn't rent a car. Yamachan even taught me how to choose Kona coffee.

As for the tour itself, the star observation was quite different from other companies. The observation with two large telescopes was great, but Yamachan and another staff member provided plenty of explanations about the constellations with a laser pointer, creating a natural planetarium experience. While other tour buses were heading down the mountain, our tour enjoyed the starry sky for over an hour.

It's not an exaggeration to say I was amazed at how bright the stars were, and even I, with poor dynamic vision, saw shooting stars seven times. I'm really glad I chose Masashi Tour. The bento was delicious too. My husband and I often talk about wanting to go again. I tell all my friends, siblings, and colleagues, "If you go, request Yamachan."

I'm sorry, I wanted to show you the photos, but I couldn't upload them properly.

ピックアップがハワイタイムで多少の遅れはあったのと、貸してくれる防寒着があまりきれいでなかったのを除けば、他は大満足です。
特筆すべきはガイドのヤマちゃん。
最初にバスの中で隣に座った大阪からの男性に「ヤマちゃんでラッキーでしたね。僕はいつもヤマちゃんご指名で５回目ですよ。」と言われ「ホンマかいな。」と思いましたが、まさにラッキーでした。
バスの中の解説もユーモアたっぷりで興味のあるツボを押さえ、帰りはレンタカーを借りていない方々のためにスーパーに寄ってくださるというサービスも。
私はヤマちゃんにコナコーヒーの選び方まで教えてもらいました。
肝心のツアーの中身ですが、星の観察が他社とはだいぶ違っていたようです。
大きな望遠鏡２台での観測も良かったですが、ヤマちゃんともう1人のスタッフがレーザーポイントで星座の解説をたっぷりしてくれて、天然のプラネタリウム状態。
他のツアーバスがどんどん山から下りてゆく中我々のツアーは１時間以上も満天の星を堪能しました。
大げさでなく、星空があんなに明るいというのに驚き、また動体視力の鈍い私でさえも７回流れ星を見ました。
本当にマサシツアーで良かったです。
お弁当もおいしかったですよ。
夫婦で、また行きたいねとしょっちゅう話しています。
友だちや兄弟、同僚みんなに「行くならヤマちゃんご指名」と言っています。
すみません、写真を見ていただきたかったのですが、うまく取り込めませんでした。

The Waterfall hike was a lot of fun... there were opportunites to swim in the waterfall pools and to get awesome pictures under the waterfalls. words of advice... bug spray bug spray bug spray! we applied 3 different times and still got eaten up! but other than that it was a lot of fun.

My daughter and I loved the horseback riding adventure. Our guides were fantastic and the views were breathtaking. Well worth the money and time!!! Would highly recommend for all levels of riders.

The first time that we did the ATVs, we did it for the one hour time; however, we soon discovered that was not long enough. The next time we came to Oahu, we did the two hour ride. Longer, and more fun! Will do it again next time we visit!

I approached this with the determination to risk my life. That said, I wasn't scared at all, so anyone can take on the challenge. When I fell, it was more painful for my ears than it felt good. It might be a good idea to practice equalizing your ears...

The view during the dive was amazing, but I was really moved by the scenery I saw while ascending in the airplane (we flew with the door open).

Since it had rained the day before, it seemed there were a lot of participants, and the waiting time was long, which made others tired. However, I enjoyed taking pictures of various flowers and the parachutes coming down while I waited, so it wasn't a problem for me.

The DVD and photos cost $200 if you order both, but since a dedicated photographer is included, I thought it was a reasonable price despite being high. It has become a great memory.

命を捨てる覚悟で臨んできました。といっても別に全然怖くはないので誰でもチャレンジできます。
落ちるときは、気持ちいいよりも耳が痛かったです。耳抜きの練習をしておいたほうがいいかも。。。
ダイブ中の眺めも最高ですが、飛行機で上昇していくときに見える景色に感動しました(ドア開けたまま飛んでます)
前日が雨だったため、参加人数が多かったらしく、待ち時間が長くてほかの人はくたびれてましたが、私は待ってる間、いろんな花や降りてくるパラシュートの写真を撮って楽しんでいたので苦になりませんでした。
DVDと写真は両方たのむと200ドルかかりますが、専属カメラマンが付くので、高いですけど妥当な値段だと思って撮ってもらいました。いい思い出になっています。

Fantastic trip--very unique. Great guides-Danny and Arem made the day very enjoyable. They were funny, informative, and very helpful.

Staff was excellent. Had an exciting time

The staff were excellent and knowledgable. The ride is beautiful and unique. I would like to have ridden more and stopped less and stopped for shorter periods of time.

I participated in the 2-hour course. It was definitely nice to be able to see the filming locations of the movie while riding a horse, but after a while, my backside started to hurt, and it became tough from the middle of the ride. However, it was a satisfying activity.

As a side note, the stalls selling drinks and other items close when the activity ends, so if you want to buy something, I recommend taking care of that before the activity starts.

2時間コースに参加してきました。確かに、映画のロケ地を馬に乗りながら、見学できるのはよかったですが、ちょっと2時間だとお尻が痛くなって、中盤からはきつかったです。。。
でも、満足できるアクティビティーでした。
後補足としては、アクティビティが終わる時間は、ドリンクなどを販売している売店はしまってしまうので、何か買いたい場合には、アクティビティの前に済ませることをお勧めします。

I chose the canyon course, and we really just went a little way up a "mountain." The ups and downs were quite steep, which kept things interesting. We were able to ride for a solid hour and a half, so I felt very satisfied. The horses were well-trained and smart, allowing even beginners to feel safe and comfortable. My mother, who is in her sixties, seemed very satisfied as well.

The staff only spoke English, so it would have been even more enjoyable if I could speak English... The nuts they showed us with gestures were delicious! Thank you very much!

渓谷コースを選択しましたが、ほんとにちょっと
した「山」を進んでゆきます。
上り下りも結構急で、飽きません。
がっつり１時間半乗馬できるので、満足感があります。
お馬さんはきちんと調教されておりお利口なため、
初心者でも安心して身をゆだねることができました。
一緒に行った還暦の母も大満足だったようです。

ついてくれるスタッフの方は英語のみなので、
英語が出来れば更に楽しかっただろうなぁ。。。
ジェスチャーで教えてくれた木の実、美味しかったです！どうもありがとうございました！

The view from the summit of Mauna Kea was simply amazing. The sea of clouds in front of me, the sky gradually turning orange, and just before sunset, the sky looked like it was on fire. It was incredibly cold, to the point of being laughable, but that too is a great memory.

After that, I received a starry sky explanation at the Onizuka Center. Since it was in English, I understood less than half, but it was moving to see the surface of the moon through a telescope. While everyone was receiving the explanation about the stars, a mysterious flying object suddenly appeared, and even the guide exclaimed, "I have never seen!" and was extremely excited. They said it was probably a rocket, but the truth is uncertain.

The food was surprisingly (sorry) delicious, and I was satisfied.

I thought it would have been even better if there was a guide who could speak a little Japanese, not just English, so I could enjoy the starry sky a bit more.

マウナケア山頂からの眺めはすばらしいの一言でした。
目の前一面の雲海、徐々にオレンジ色に染まる空、
沈む寸前は空が燃えるようでした。
とてもとても寒くて笑えるほどだったけど、それもいい思い出です。

その後にオニヅカセンターで星空の説明を受けました。
英語だったので半分以下しか理解できませんでしたが、
天体望遠鏡で月の表面を見れたのは感動でした。
全員で星空の説明を受けているときに、突然謎の飛行物体が見えて、ガイドの方も「I　have　never　seen！」と言ってめちゃめちゃ興奮しました。多分ロケット？とのことでしたが真相は定かではありません。

ゴハンも意外と(すみません)美味しくて、私は満足でした。

できれば英語だけではなく、少しでもいいから日本語を話せるガイドさんがいるともう少し星空を楽しめたかなぁと思いました。

At an altitude of 4,000 meters... falling as if from above Mount Fuji.

For the first few seconds, there's a feeling similar to a roller coaster, but once you get used to it, you start to enjoy the free fall time a bit more.

Hmm, it's a feeling like nothing you've experienced before, and you definitely won't be disappointed.

By the way, I highly recommend getting the DVD and photos! You can enjoy them even after returning home!

上空4,000M…
富士山より上から落ちるように落下。
最初の何秒間かは、ジェットコースターのようなウｯﾂｯﾂとくる感じがあるものの、慣れてからは、少し余裕が出てきてフリーホールの時間が楽しめます。
うーん、やってみないとわからない今までにない感じでしたが、絶対満足します。
ちなみにDVD、写真はおすすめですよ！
帰国後にも楽しめますし！
