This excursion is a must do. The views were incredible. It does take time to get there, 2 mile row in after which you hike for about 1.25 miles to the falls. The guide told us some great facts about the area. They teach you how to paddle if you have never done that before. You do have to cross the river and depending on the rainfall, it can be deep. This is mildly strenuous, you will be walking on uneven ground with rocks and cross a river, good water/hiking shoes a must. You will need to help carry the kayaks to the water and back, not very long and there are usually 4 people to a kayak to carry. Part of the trail does have wood planks to walk on, but the first part of the trail does not. It was beautiful and the falls were full when we got to the top, not always the case, depends on the amount of rainfall they have had. Highly recommend.
Aloha Sumsiontk,
What a nice and informative review that gives folks a real idea of what is involved in the paddle and hike to the Sacred/Secret Falls.
Your review made we want to revisit, yet once again.
The guid is there to maximize your time, keep it safe and fun and leaving you with some "some pearls of wisdom".
Thanks for recommending us and hope to see you back.
A hui hou,
Micco

This was one of the best excursions we did while visiting Kauai. We highly recommend this!!! The scenery was an amazing, the stories of the area, and the wonderful guides we had. The guides took their time in explaining things and making sure we were safe and felt comfortable on the trails. The stories were fantastic and there was plenty of time and view the sights and take pictures. This is a must do and we can’t wait to go again when we are in Kauai!!
Expect to have fun.

The weather was good on the day, but there was a bit of strong wind, so it was explained before the flight that there might be some turbulence, which was helpful for preparation. The pre-flight briefing and the explanations inside the aircraft were accurate and very good.

Right after departure, we were covered in clouds, and I wondered how it would turn out with occasional rain, but as we gained altitude, the clouds cleared (or rather, we emerged above the clouds), and both the sunset and the starry sky were incredibly beautiful.
While there are places in Japan where you can see the starry sky and enjoy views from mountain summits, the scale here is completely different. I was moved to see the Southern Cross and the Milky Way.
The guide primarily spoke English, but they also checked in with us in Japanese to see if we were feeling okay, which was very considerate and helpful.
出発直後から雲に覆われ、時折、雨模様でどうなることかと思いましたが、標高が上がるにつれ雲が切れ(というか雲の上に出て)、サンセットも星空も大変きれいに見えました。
国内でも、星空が見えるところがあったり、山頂からの景色を楽しめるところはいくつもありますが、ここはスケールが全く違い、南十字星や天の川も見ることができて感動モノでした。

No exaggeration, we were treated like ROYALTY!! From the moment we arrived at check-in until we disembarked from the return ferry ride we experienced CONSTANT care and courtesy from the ferry crew and especially our trekker-drver/tour-guide Russ , who went to extraordinary lengths to ensure our comfort and enjoyment , always giving us plenty of time to explore and indulge at the many places we visited. He even surprised us by returning to the beach shortly before ferry departure time to offer us a ride over to the ferry dock, for which we gratefully accepted! To say that he went "above and beyond" would be an understatement.
And all the people we encountered in Lana'i City ( at cafe , gallery , stores ) were so friendly , kindly and hospitable towards us...we felt sincerely welcome , and thoroughly enjoyed our visit , and hope to return for a longer stay.
Our emphatic thanks to Russ ( he was there to greet us when we stepped off the ferry ) and the ferry crew , who were right on time and very professional , for helping us have a fabulous and very memorable visit to Lana'i !

Six years ago, I had my first piloting experience. At that time, I shared that my childhood dream was to become a pilot for ANA. As a result, I was able to experience everything from takeoff to landing, which was a broad and enriching experience in many ways.
This time, the instructor from my previous experience had become a pilot for a commercial airline and was no longer with the program, so I had a different instructor. During this flight, I was able to enjoy the view from above while receiving guidance, which was nice since there were other passengers on board. However, personally, I wished I could have had a bit more hands-on experience with the controls during takeoff and landing!
前回、6年前に初の操縦体験をしました。その際は、自分の子供の頃にANAのパイロットになることが夢でした。等々の話をしたところ、離陸から結局、着陸まで体験させて頂き、色々な意味で幅広く体感させて頂きました。
今回は、前回のインストラクターの方は、民間エアラインでパイロットになられたようでもう在籍されておらず、別の方でした。今回は、上空で色々、下の風景を見ながらガイドをしていただけたので、その点では、同乗者もいたので良かったです。ただ、個人的には、もう少し離着陸の体感を操縦桿を握りながら!やりたっかったですねー^^
It might be better to communicate what you want to the instructor.
どうしたいかをインストラクターの方に伝えるとより良いかも〜〜^^V

I have been going to Hawaii every year for the past few years, participating with specific goals in mind for my trips. This time, I hadn't decided what to do until just before departure, but two days before leaving, I happened to be looking at Veltra and came across a Cessna flying experience. I thought, "This is it!" and signed up. I confirmed my reservation on the day I arrived in Hawaii. Since it was my first time on a Cessna, I was particularly nervous until takeoff. I was holding the control yoke, but I was surprisingly amazed at how easily we took off. Although the staff handled the actual flying 100%, the moment the Cessna soared like a bird in the wind was breathtaking. Within seconds, the buildings below became smaller and smaller. Thanks to the staff, I felt like a bird for several minutes. Thank you for this precious experience. It was unforgettable, and I didn't feel that the cost was high at all.
ここ数年毎年ハワイに行ってますが旅の目玉となる具体的な目的を持って参加しております 今回は何をやろうか出発直前まで決まらなかったのですがたまたま出発2日前にveltraをみてましたらセスナ体験操縦が目に飛び込んできました これだと思い申込ました 予約完了を確認したのはハワイに着いた日でした セスナに乗ることが初めてだったので離陸するまでは特に緊張してました 操縦桿は握ってましたが意外に簡単にふわりと離陸したので少し驚きました 操縦そのものは同乗のスタッフが100%行なっているので簡単なことではないでしょうが セスナ機が風の中を羽のように舞い上がった瞬間は感動しました そして数秒もたたないうちに真下に見える建物はどんどん小さくなっていきました 数十分間スタッフのお蔭で鳥になれました ありがとうございました 貴重な体験でした 記憶に残る体験なので決して料金は高くはないと感じました
I didn't feel unwell, but it seems there are some who do. I don't like looking down from high places, but I had no issues in the Cessna. It's a strange thing.

The buggy ride is longer than I expected. We travel in a group with two instructors and about seven to eight buggies. At several spots, there are explanations from the instructors and photo opportunities. The views are all amazing, and the instructors take photos for you, so you can get great pictures with your companions. The road has both paved sections and gravel paths, and while it can be bumpy and quite shaky, driving isn't too difficult. The maximum speed is about 20 km/h, with an average of around 15 km/h. It’s a fun experience, and the scheduled two hours fly by.

I participated in a sunset and stargazing tour at the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island. It was a small group tour with about 10 people, which made for a relaxed experience.
The sandwich we had along the way was delicious and satisfying. The sunset from the summit was truly beautiful, and I was moved by the view spreading over the sea of clouds. The starry sky after sunset was also amazing, shining brightly in a way that only a high place without city lights can offer.
What made me happy was that we were the only Japanese participants, but our guide was Japanese. In between explanations to the other groups, he provided detailed information about constellations and celestial bodies in Japanese.
For those considering going to Mauna Kea individually, I recommend joining a tour. You can enjoy the breathtaking views without worrying about driving on mountain roads or managing your health at high altitudes. If you want to see the sunset or love stargazing, definitely consider participating!

Having zip lined before, I highly recommend this tour. The transportation to the ranch and a well organized. At the ranch we drove with Stone who gave us a tour of the ranch on the way to the zip line base camp, pointing out filming sites, was a nice add on that I didn’t expect. The zip lining itself was with JT, Ethan, and Aiden and the guys were awesome, specially JT, made us all feel at ease, cracking jokes and making the atmosphere fun, relaxing everyone. Safety is top notch and Ethan and Aiden were awesome helping everyone land at the platforms safely. The little handrail bar that you can hold onto as you zip make it great for a first time experience and the zip lines are also organized in a way that it starts easy and gets more fun, which is a lot better than other zip lines I did that start with the big one right off the bat and then you just get small ones at the end. The overall tour is a couple of hours and lots of fun from beginning to end, can’t recommend enough. And and JT I’m only mentioning you 3 times, if you just landed the shot it would be 6 ;)

The excitement of taking off from Daniel K. Inouye International Airport on my own was exceptional! The view from above was of otherworldly beauty, and I was able to witness the unique features of the volcanic terrain; everything was wonderful.

I requested a Japanese pilot, and the explanations from the pilot were easy to understand, and the conversation was entertaining (we had a great time with local talk, haha), and above all, I felt a sense of security.
I will definitely participate again when I visit Hawaii. I think I might become addicted to it.

Upon arriving at Kualoa Ranch, we were guided on where to wait inside the bus. They also spoke in Japanese. On that day, there were Japanese staff members present at the facility, and they gathered only the Japanese guests to provide detailed explanations about the locations of the restrooms and lockers. The scenery while riding the horses was breathtaking and became a wonderful memory.
クアロアランチに到着すると、バスの中でどこで待機するか案内されます。日本語も話してくれました。当日は施設に日本人スタッフが在中していた日で、日本人だけ集められ、お手洗いやロッカーの場所など丁寧に説明がありました。馬に乗りながら観る景色は圧巻でいい思い出になりました。
I think it's best to wear long pants that you don't mind getting dirty because when a horse goes to the bathroom, the splatter can be quite intense.
馬がおトイレすると、跳ね返りがすごいので、汚れてもいい長ズボンがいいと思います。

It was a wonderful tour.
My spouse and I participated in the tour. Since we were at an altitude of about 4200 meters, we were worried about the thin air and cold, but our guide was always attentive to our condition. We enjoyed the most beautiful sunset in the world and the starry night sky, which sparkled differently from the plains.
We received a lot of explanations about various constellations and information about the Big Island, making it a highly satisfying tour.
とても素晴らしいツアーでした。
夫婦でツアーに参加しました。標高約4200mの山頂ですので空気の薄さと寒さが心配でしたが、ガイドの方から常に体調を気遣っていただき、この世で一番ビューティフルなサンセットと平地での輝きと全然違う夜空に輝く満点の星を満喫しました。
色々な星座の解説やハワイ島の事もたくさん説明していただけて、非常に満足度の高いツアーでした。
This is a tour you absolutely must go on when traveling to the Big Island of Hawaii. It is incredibly healing for the heart. The beauty is so overwhelming that it brings tears to your eyes.
ハワイ島を旅行するなら絶対行くべきツアーです。大変、心が癒されます。あまりの美しさに自然と涙が出てきます。

This time in Oahu, we decided to take on an active adventure by riding four-wheel buggies at Kualoa Ranch. It seemed like there were mostly younger people, as we didn't see anyone in their 60s like us, but my husband, who loves driving, was very satisfied. The weather was great, and the scenery was really beautiful. Just be careful as you might get covered in dust, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and definitely using a locker for your bag.
今回のオアフはアクティブに挑もうということでクアロアランチの四輪バギーに乗ることにしました。若い方たちが多いようで、私たちのような60代は見かけませんでしたが、運転好きの主人は大満足でした。天候にも恵まれ景色も大変良かったです。ただ砂ぼこりをかぶってしまうので注意書きどおり汚れてもよい服装と、カバンは必ずロッカーを利用することをおすすめします。

Everything ran smoothly from our ferry ride to Lanai, to meeting our guide at the island harbour. We saw Shipwreck Beach and the Garden of the Gods, both worthwhile stops, and were introduced to the main beach park, some of the lovely expensive hotels, and a good look at Lanai City. We enjoyed our guide’s stories about growing up on Lanai, and we loved our free afternoon snorkelling on the excellent reef at the beach. The ride home in the ferry was pretty rough, but that’s to be expected on the afternoon rough and windy waters between Lanai and Maui. It was a very expensive day, in our opinion, and our guide sometimes repeated himself, just to keep the patter going. Nevertheless, we had a good day, and would recommend it to anyone with deep pockets, and a desire to experience Lanai.
We travelled in a suburban, not the jeep-style 4x4 we were expecting. It was very comfortable..

First, the Japanese woman who explained the tickets right after we got off the shuttle bus was very kind, and I felt reassured from the check-in for the experience until we got on the bus back!
However, as she mentioned, there were no Japanese speakers after the check-in, so we had to rely on understanding English, which was quite challenging (laughs). By the way, my husband and I don't speak any English at all 🤣. There were videos in Japanese about the precautions for riding the buggy, so that was fine, but when we stopped at the photo spots, the explanations were all in English, so we managed to understand using Google Translate's speaker.
My husband, who is used to driving, and I, who usually don't drive, took on the challenge, but it was quite a long ride, and driving on the bumpy mountain roads in an unfamiliar buggy was exhausting even for my husband, who drives regularly (laughs). I couldn't enjoy the scenery unless it was on a straight road, and since we didn't stop at the photo spots, I couldn't switch places with my husband, which was tough for me 😭💦.
But the scenery was truly overwhelming, and I'm really glad we went!
まず送迎バスから降りてすぐチケットの説明などしてくれる日本人の女性の方はとっても親切で、体験のチェックインから帰りのバスに乗るまで安心できました!
ただその方も言ってましたが、体験のチェックインしたあとは日本語を話せる人はいないので、英語を聞き取るしかなかったのが大変でした(笑)
ちなみに我々夫婦は全く英語ができません🤣
バギーに乗る注意点などの映像は日本語のものがあり、そこは大丈夫でしたが、バギーに乗って写真スポットに止まったときその場所の説明などしてくれますが、全部英語なのでGoogle翻訳のスピーカーとかを使ってなんとか聞き取りました。笑
ただ運転に慣れた夫と普段な運転しない私で挑みましたが、結構長い間走りますし、ガタガタの山道を慣れないバギーで走るので、普段運転してる夫でもクタクタになってました(笑)
私はまっすぐな道でなければ景色どころではなかったし、写真スポットまで止まってくれないので夫に変わることもできず大変でした😭💦
だけど景色は本当に圧倒的で行って本当に良かったと思ってます!
If you're used to driving, you'll be fine, but if you don't drive often, please be careful! You can get left behind quite a bit (laughs).
運転に慣れた方でしたら大丈夫ですが普段運転しない方は注意してください!結構置いていかれます(笑)
