乗馬ツアー　ワイへエ渓谷を巡り、ハレアカラ山頂も望む＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞

Horseback riding is great, isn't it? 乗馬っていいもんですね。

Reviewed by: keichan

I hadn't gone horseback riding since I did it a few times as a child, but since I came to beautiful nature-filled Hawaii this time, I decided to give it a try.

Riding slowly and leisurely on a horse is wonderful. It allows you to forget about everyday life, breathe in the delicious Hawaiian air, and feel the grandeur of nature. It was a valuable experience.

I think I might want to go horseback riding again when I want to enjoy some slow time.

乗馬って、子供の頃に数回いったっきり、それから全然行ってなかったんですけど、今回せっかく自然のきれいなハワイに来たんだからってことで、乗馬体験してみました。

馬にまあがってゆ~~っくりのんびりとできる散歩いいですね。日常のことを忘れて、ハワイのおいしい空気を吸って、雄大な大自然を感じる。貴重な体験をさせてもらいました。

またゆ~っくりした時間がほしいときには、乗馬をしようかなって思ってます。

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Shorter than expected

Reviewed by: Nicole

I was disappointed to learn that 80% of ride would be through tunnels - I pictured we'd have some tunnels but mostly be having a nice trip through Kauai scenery. It was still lots of fun though!!

Though the guide said there was over 50 miles of irrigation ditches, but that the tour is only through 2 1/2 miles, so it's not a very long trip. There's a nature walk before hand and picnic lunch after. But for the money, I'd rather skip both those and do the irrigation ride twice, or at least have a much, much longer ride.

I was still pretty fun and I would definitely recommend this to families but it's definitely way expensive for what you get. The water is freezing cold, so be prepared.

絶景スカイダイビング　一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動！ビデオ＆写真撮影付きプランあり　by ゴージャンプハワイ＜送迎付き＞

What an Aloha sky and ocean view! what an Aloha sky & ocean view !!

Reviewed by: club kb

This experience is something that cannot be fully conveyed in words or writing. It can only be understood by those who have experienced it.

The instructors were all cheerful, which made it so that I didn't even feel nervous inside the Cessna. Since the total time was about six hours, I thought we would have a thorough lecture and preparation, but in reality, we just watched a video, received explanations, waited our turn, put on our gear, and before I knew it, we were already in the air!

Just below us, there was a rainbow, and the free fall towards it was the best!! It felt like I was on a swing over a huge map with the parachute.

In any case, it was the best diving experience!!

この経験はとても言葉や活字では伝え切れません。
体験したもの同士でないと伝わらないからです。

インストラクターはみんな陽気で、おかげでセスナ機内でも緊張感を感じることすらありませんでした。
所要時間が6時間ほどあるため、入念にレクチャーを受けて準備して・・・と思っていましたが、実際は淡々とビデオを見て、説明うけて、順番待って、ウェアを装着して、セスナに乗り込んで・・・次に気づけばもう空中でした！

ちょうど、真下に虹が出てそれに向かってのフリーフォールは最高でした！！
パラシュートは大きな地図の上でブランコに乗っているかのような気分。

とにかく、最高なダイビングでした！！

Reviewed by: machako

When I participated, the full moon was approaching, so there were fewer stars than I had imagined, but our guide was fun, making the journey to the summit enjoyable. I played with horses at the ranch, learned about plants, and took fun photos during the sunset. The lunch was quite delicious, and they provided warm clothing for both the top and bottom, which I thought was better service compared to other tours.

参加したときは満月が近かったため、星の数が想像よりも少なかったけれど、ガイドさんが楽しい方のため、山頂までの道のりも楽しめた。
牧場で馬と戯れたり、植物について教えてもらったり、サンセットで楽しい写真を撮っていただいたり。
お弁当もなかなか美味しくて、防寒着も上下貸していただけて、他のツアーよりもサービスがよいと思った。

This time, I went to the Big Island for the first time, and Mauna Kea was the best. The cold-weather gear from the nature school was warm and comfortable, and the lunch was delicious. The guide for the day, Shinya, was interesting and a really nice person. He seemed to be a professional photographer, and he took beautiful pictures for us.

今回、初めてハワイ島へ行って、マウナケアが一番良かったです。ネイチャースクールの防寒着はつなぎで暖かかったし、お弁当もおいしかったです。この日のガイドのしんやさんは、面白く、とても良い人でした。カメラのプロの方らしく、写真も綺麗に撮ってもらえました。星座の説明も詳しく、わかりやすかったです。マウナケアでは宇宙を感じられて、気持ち良かったです。またいつかこのツアーに参加できたら良いなと思います。

When it comes to Hawaii, I had only traveled to Waikiki before, but this time I made my big debut on the Big Island!

I was able to join a tour to the summit of Mauna Kea, which I had wanted to do for a long time! I was deeply moved by the sea of clouds from 4,000 meters up! It was cold, but I had never seen such a beautiful starry sky, so I was amazed.

I also have to give a big shoutout to our guide who took us to that extraordinary scenery. They paid attention to every detail and showed such dedication throughout the tour, making me feel their professionalism. At the end, we all applauded for the guide!

Seeing the starry sky was much more enjoyable with explanations from someone knowledgeable rather than just looking at it vaguely!

It was a rich and fulfilling tour that makes you want to participate again and again! I highly recommend it!

ハワイといえば、ワイキキにしか旅行したことなかったのですが、今回はじめてBIGなビッグアイランドデビュー☆☆☆

前々から行きたかったマウナケア山頂のツアーに参加できました！4000メートルの山のうえからの雲海に大感動！寒かったけど、あんなキレイな星空をみたことなかったので、ビックリでした。

そして、あの非日常の風景に案内してくれるガイドさんに脱帽です。細かいところまで気をつかわれ、最後の最後まで手を抜かず熱心がガイドっぷりにプロを感じました。最後にはガイドさんに拍手をみんなでしてました！

星空もただ漠然とみるよりも、知識のある方に説明してもらえたので、楽しめました！

The best!!! 最高！！！

Reviewed by: Yoshie Morikawa

I previously participated in the Haleakalā volcano sunrise and downhill tour twice, but this time I joined the sunset and stargazing tour with my family, as my younger child is still small. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations. (I'm sorry!) I never imagined it would become one of the top three memories of my life.

First of all, it was my first time on a tour with a Japanese guide, and Mr. Yamauchi's explanations were very easy to understand. I learned so much more and grew to love Maui even more, realizing how deep it is. The bento box was warm and truly delicious.

The sunset was, of course, moving, but the emotion I felt when I looked up at the starry sky... I was reminded that the Earth is surrounded by so many stars, and I realized for the first time how beautiful the universe is. It was a feeling that could only be experienced by seeing it with my own eyes, not through a planetarium or an encyclopedia. Tears just flowed without reason, and I couldn't stop crying even in the car on the way back.

This is a feeling that you can only experience by seeing it with your own eyes!!

私は以前２度ハレアカラ火山のサンライズ＆ダウンヒルのツアーに参加したことがあるのですが、今回は家族連れで、下の子がまだ小さかったため、このサンセット＆星空観測ツアーに参加しました。正直期待はしてませんでした。（スミマセン！）それがこんな人生で３本の指に入るような思い出になるとは思いもしませんでした。

まず、日本人の添乗員が付いたツアーも初めてだったのですが、山内さんの説明はとてもわかりやすく、より多くのことがわかり、マウイって奥が深いなぁ~とますます好きになりました。幕の内弁当もあったかくてほんとに美味しかったです。

サンセットももちろん感動でしたが、星空を見上げたときのあの感動・・・。地球はこんなにも多くの星に囲まれていることを思い知らされ、宇宙とはこんなにも美しいものだと初めて知りました。それはプラネタリウムでも、事典でもない肉眼で見ているからこその感動でした。訳もなくただただ涙が溢れてきて、帰りの車の中でも涙が止まりませんでした。

これは実際に自分の目で見なければ味わうことの出来ない感動です！！

I saw the Milky Way for the first time in a while. 久しぶりに天の川を見ました

Reviewed by: さんま

Despite being over 3000 meters high, Yamauchi-san drives smoothly along a road without guardrails or streetlights. Since it's a national park, the focus is on the scenery. As expected of America. Apparently, if someone falls, it's the driver's fault.

From below, it looked cloudy, so I was worried, but once we broke through the rain clouds and emerged above the sea of clouds, it was like a different world. The sunset was beautiful too.

Although there were a few clouds, it wasn't a starry sky, but I was able to see the Milky Way for the first time in a while. I also saw the Southern Cross for the first time. A satellite even crossed our path.

It's a shame I didn't know about such a wonderful tour earlier; I would have loved to participate with my wife, who passed away two years ago. However, my sister, who joined this time, was very happy.

On the way back, we talked about ghost stories and listened to nostalgic songs by Takuro Yoshida and Yumi Matsutoya, and the time flew by. Thank you very much.

You can find the Kurihama Park website by searching for Kurihama Flower Kingdom.

３０００ｍを超えているのに、ガードレールも街灯もない道を山内さんは、すいすいと運転していきます。国立公園なので、景観重視との事。さすがアメリカ。転落するのは、運転手が悪いそうです。
下界から見ると雲がかかっているので、心配していましたが、雨雲を抜け雲海の上に出ると、そこは別世界。
夕日も綺麗でした。
少々雲があったので、満天の星空とはなりませんでしたが、久しぶりに天の川を見ることが出来ました。また、初めて南十字星も見ることが出来ました。人工衛星も横切りました。
こんなすばらしいツアーをもっと前に知っていたら、一昨年亡くなった妻と一緒に参加したのに残念です。でも、今回参加した姉はとても喜んでくれました。
帰りは、肝試しの話や、吉田卓郎やユーミンなどの懐メロなども聞け、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。有難うございました。

It was great that we had the same two guides during throughout all three excursions. There are only two things they don't tell you before you go. One is that the hike is a real hike, not just a stroll through the woods, and bit challenging for someone who would become winded from climbing stairs. lol We were able to do the hike with no problems, but its just a word of advise. Second there is only one port-a-potty available at the beginning of the day, so make sure you go before it starts. But don't worry you will sweat out most of the water lol.

The tour was amazing! Over Hawaii locations on a prefect Hawaii day... what more can you ask for!? The tour guide was entertaining and well knowledge. But the fact that we had to share the tour with 10-12 year old boys kind of killed the romantic part of the tour. It's a GREAT experience! Although staying in Waikiki and driving to the North Shore was kind of a hassel and took one hour... the helicopter tour made up for part of it. I would recommend to first timers to the island.

I recommend it! おすすめです！

Reviewed by: たいこう

On the day of the event, it was clear and almost windless. It was the perfect day for diving.

This was my second time skydiving. I forced a slightly reluctant friend to join me.

The location was in the northwest part of Oahu. The scenery looked like something out of Field of Dreams. The hot dog I had while waiting was delicious. A group of Harleys passed by, and the relaxed atmosphere was great.

There was a Japanese explanation video and staff who could communicate in Japanese. There were quite a few participants, around 40 people, including couples and groups. About 40% of the participants were Japanese.

No special knowledge was required. When I dove in Florida before, I had to manage things like reading the altimeter and operating the parachute, which was quite serious. This time, everything was left to the instructors. So, it might be a bit unsatisfying for those who want to do more themselves.

The instructors were very kind and experienced. They picked up on my slight anxiety and kept the mood light and fun. Thank you, Instructor Stephan, for being "the most dangerous instructor" (as George said).

Photos and videos are optional, but I especially recommend the video. When I jumped in Florida, I didn't order the video, so I regretted not having "proof" to show off to someone in Japan. Therefore, it's definitely a good idea to order the video. It's a wonderful video with cool music. Thank you, Ash.

On the day, there were many participants, and I felt the waiting time was a bit long. However, spending time leisurely with a hot dog and beer while watching others jump is also a nice way to spend a holiday.

It's scarier than a roller coaster but not as scary as bungee jumping. I highly recommend this activity for those who have never done it before.

The sunset and starry sky were wonderful! ♪ 夕陽も星空も素敵でした♪

Reviewed by: るな

We are in our golden years, but we went to Maui for our honeymoon. It was my first time in 13 years, and for my husband, it was his first visit to Maui.

We debated whether to go for sunrise or sunset, but since we wanted to see the starry sky slowly from a mountain over 3,000 meters high, we chose sunset.

At 2:30 PM, we were picked up in front of our hotel (Ka'anapali). As we passed through the town of Lahaina, we were given recommendations for restaurants and galleries. After a tea time at Krispy Kreme, we headed to the town of Makawao. We strolled through unique galleries featuring paintings and glass creations, as well as shops selling cowboy products. We stopped by Kula Lodge and bought a lot of souvenirs like jam and coconut candy. There was a wide variety of jams, and we got to taste several of them. They also had tea and herbal products, creating a lovely, soothing atmosphere.

As we passed through a eucalyptus-scented forest, the scenery changed with the increasing altitude. While listening to stories about the flora and fauna of Haleakalā and the spirits, we arrived near the summit just before evening. We enjoyed a 360-degree view from the height of 3,055 meters until sunset. Through the telescope, we could see the Subaru Telescope on the Big Island's Kīlauea. The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds was majestic, and the changes in the sky after sunset were beautiful as well. We were even able to see the Earth's shadow reflected in the sky.

After a restroom break and enjoying a warm Japanese bento, the stargazing began. Looking up at the night sky, it was filled with stars that twinkled quietly rather than sparkling. It made me realize just how many stars surround the Earth. I felt that this night sky was a special encounter made possible by being at such a high altitude. While watching the celestial planetarium, Yamauchi-san's explanations about stars and constellations were easy to understand, and I felt the mysteries of the universe.

It was probably lucky that it was just the two of us participating before Golden Week, but there were additional joys beyond Haleakalā, and Yamauchi-san's stories touched my heart. I didn't feel much cold thanks to my outfit of tights under my jeans and a hot pack around my waist.

熟年ですが・・新婚旅行をかねて、マウイ島に行きました。私は13年ぶり、夫は初マウイ。

クリスピードーナツのお店でティータイム後、マカワオの街へ。絵画やガラス創作の個性的ギャラリー、カウボーイ製品の店など散策しました。

ユーカリの爽やかな香りがする林を通り抜けて、高度が増すごとに、周囲の風景も変わってきます。ハレアカラの動植物や聖霊の話を聞きながら、夕刻前には頂上付近に到着しました。
サンセットまで、ハレアカラ高度３０５５ｍからの風景を３６０度眺めました。
望遠鏡からは、ハワイ島キラウエアのスバル展望台も。雲海に沈む夕陽は荘厳で、サンセット後の空雲の変化も美しいものでした。空に映る地球の影（アースシャドウ）も見ることができました。

見上げた夜空は、キラキラ星というよりも、静かに瞬いている夜空いっぱいの星々でした。
地球の周りには、こんなにもいっぱいの星があるのですね。３千メートル級の高度だかこそ出遭えた夜空だと感じました。天体プラネタリウムを観ながらの、山内さんの星や星座のお話はわかりやすく、宇宙の神秘を感じました。

乗馬ツアー　ワイへエ渓谷を巡り、ハレアカラ山頂も望む＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞

It was a wonderful horseback riding experience! 素晴らしい乗馬体験です！

Reviewed by: miyachan

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, and I've been to Maui seven times. I love Maui, and I’m currently a 53-year-old lady. Since my third trip, I've enjoyed horseback riding. This time, I visited Mendes Ranch for the first time, and I think it was the best ranch I've been to so far. The difference from other ranches is, without a doubt, the amazing views. It's a shame I can't show you photos because I'm not good with computers. You don't need to worry at all if you can't speak English. The staff at the ranch are very kind and teach us how to ride in a way that we can understand, even without English. The food was also very delicious; we had barbecue beef and chicken. I had never seen Mendes Ranch mentioned in Japanese guidebooks, but it was far more wonderful than the other ranches listed in guidebooks. Since there was no shuttle service, we used a rental car to get there. I found the location a bit tricky to navigate, but if you allow enough time, I think it won't be a problem. The horses are well-trained, so there are no safety issues, and even complete beginners will be fine. You can see all the beautiful sea, mountains, and valleys of Maui. I highly recommend this activity. My husband and I participated together, and on another day, my newlywed daughter and her husband joined, and they were thrilled, saying it was a wonderful honeymoon.

8度目のハワイ旅行。その内の7回はマウイです。マウイ大好きの私、現在、53歳のオバチャンです。3度目の旅行から、乗馬を楽しんできました。今回参加したメンデス牧場は初めて訪れたのですが、今まで参加した牧場の中で、一番素晴らしいと思いました。他の牧場との相違は、なんと言っても、眺めの素晴らしさです。パソコンが苦手で写真をお見せできないのが残念です。英語が話せなくても、全く心配はいりません。牧場の人も大変親切で、英語のできない私たちにもわかるように、乗り方を教えてくださいます。また、食事も、とっても美味しく、ビーフとチキンのバーベキューでした。日本のガイドブックでは掲載されてるのを見たことのなかったメンデス牧場ですが、ガイドブックに掲載されている他の牧場とは、比較にならないくらい素晴らしかったです。送迎がないので、レンタカーを利用して行きました。少し地理的に分かりにくく感じたのですが、時間的に余裕をもって行けば、問題ないと思います。また、馬がよく調教されていますので、安全面でも問題ないし、全くの初心者であっても大丈夫です。マウイの美しい海、山、渓谷すべて見ることができます。是非、お薦めしたいアクティビティです。私は夫と二人で参加、別の日に新婚の娘夫婦が参加したのですが、娘たちは、素晴らしいハネムーンになったと喜んでいました。

The tour I wanted to participate in the most on the Big Island was the one to the summit of Mauna Kea. I was really torn between the sunset and sunrise options, but I chose the sunset tour. Although the sunrise option was tempting, I thought that after overcoming jet lag, waking up in the middle of the night might disrupt my health, so I opted for the sunset.

The Mauna Kea Observatory has cutting-edge telescopes, including Japan's Subaru Telescope. It's made by Mitsubishi Electric, and I was impressed by the technological prowess of Japanese electronics manufacturers. And the sunset—followed by a sky full of stars. The starry sky is like a natural planetarium! It’s truly natural, and the stars look incredibly close. They provide detailed explanations using something like a laser pointer.

ハワイ島で一番参加したかったツアーがマウナケア山頂に行くツアーでした。サンセットかサンライズかめちゃくちゃ悩みましたが、サンセットのツアーを選択しました。サンライズも捨てがたいのですが、時差ボケを解消したと思ったら、夜中に起床ということで体調をくずしそうなのでサンセットを選択しました。
　マウナケアの天文台は世界最先端の望遠鏡が目白押しで、日本の「すばる」望遠鏡もここにあります。三菱電機製の望遠鏡ということです。日本の電機メーカーの技術力もすごいな・・・と感心です。そしてサンセット~満点の星空。星空はまるで天然プラネタリウム！　というか天然なんだが、メチャクチャ星が近くに見えます。レーザーポインターのようなもので詳しく解説してもらえます。

Honolulu Downhill Bike Tour, Secret Waterfall Hike & Waikiki Snorkel Sail Combo

Great value, awesome experience!

Reviewed by: Michelle S.

Our tour guide Matias (sp?) was amazing. He knew so much about the wildlife, the plants and everything else we saw, and was very helpful in keeping us all safe on our adventure. The tour was great and I would definitely do it again. Fantastic value for the money.

Kipu Safari Adventure - Zipline, Hike, Kayak & Waterfall Swim with Lunch

Had a Fantastic Time

Reviewed by: Allison Cook

I had such a great time on the Safari tour. I had Alex, Maggie and Adrienne as my tour guides and they were FANTASTIC! Our group laughed so much and I felt really safe having Alex and Adrienne there to explain what we were supposed to do during the zipline and jumping off Kipu falls. I had a blast and was totally pumped up after I left for the rest of the day. I would recommend this tour to everyone who's going to Kauai!

Thanks so much for the fabulous adventure!

絶景スカイダイビング　一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動！ビデオ＆写真撮影付きプランあり　by ゴージャンプハワイ＜送迎付き＞

It's the best! 最高です

Reviewed by: きのこ

I read other companies' experiences and was worried, so I opted for Japanese support. The explanations were clear with videos, and the foreign staff who flew with us were very accommodating, making it a wonderful memory. It was the best skydiving experience that blew away my fear of flying. I want to do it again and again. There was a Japanese lady who provided video explanations, but she didn't smile at all and seemed a bit angry, which was a minor downside; otherwise, there were no issues. I didn't bring any money, so I couldn't take videos or photos, but I definitely recommend getting them even if they are expensive. 😊

体験談など他社のも読みまして心配だったため日本語対応にしました。
説明もビデオでわかりやすく、一緒に飛んでくれる外人さんも対応良く、すばらしくぃぃ思い出になりました。
飛ぶ恐さも吹き飛ぶくらい最高のスカイダイビングでした。
何回も繰り返したいくらい。
日本人のおばさんがビデオ説明までしてくれるのですがその方が一切笑顔なしで怒った感じの対応がちょっと難点なくらいで何も問題ありませんでした。
お金を持っていってなかったのでビデオも写真も撮れなかったのですが絶対高くても撮った方がオススメです＾＾

乗馬ツアー　ワイへエ渓谷を巡り、ハレアカラ山頂も望む＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞

Maui is the best! マウイ最高！

Reviewed by: ヘチマベイビー

It was a wonderful place filled with greenery! Since there are many steep slopes, the horseback riding tour is not only less burdensome but also incredibly fun!

At one point, I closed my eyes and imagined the everyday scenes of Japan, and when I opened my eyes again, the view was nothing short of breathtaking!

At various points, the horses stopped properly, allowing us to enjoy the scenery. I had a hard time finding horseback riding activities on Maui, but I'm glad I participated!

Experiencing the natural scenery through horseback riding is highly recommended! ☆

みどり溢れるすばらしい場所でした！
急な勾配だらけなので、馬に乗ってのツアーは負担が少ないうえ、なによりも楽しい！

途中でふと日本の日常の光景を思い浮かべて目をつむってみて、ふたたび目を開けたときの光景は感動的という以外のなにものでもありませんでした！

ポイントポイントではちゃんと馬も止まって、その景色を楽しむことが出来ました。マウイ島で乗馬のアクティビティがなかなか見つけられなかったのですが、参加できてよかったです！

自然の光景を乗馬でさらに体感できるなんて、お薦めです☆

マウナケア山頂夕陽と星空観測ツアー ガイド撮影の一眼カメラ写真を無料ご提供！＜夕食付き／英語ガイド＞by マサシネイチャースクール

I absolutely recommend it. 絶対にオススメです

Reviewed by: KUMI

This was my second time going to Mauna Kea, and I absolutely recommend participating if you visit the Big Island.

I had previously joined a different tour company, but this one had tastier bento and the provided cold-weather gear was thick and sturdy.

I participated in the summer (July) last time and this time in the winter (March). Last time, I was amazed by the starry sky and multiple satellites, and I definitely wanted to see it again, which is why I chose the Big Island for my honeymoon. This time, the constellations I could see were different, which was interesting. However, when the moon is out, fewer stars are visible, so it's better to choose your participation date wisely.

I plan to participate again.

マウナケアに行くのは２度目でしたが、ハワイ島に行ったら絶対に参加することをオススメします。

以前違うツアー会社に参加したことがありますが、そちらよりもお弁当もおいしく、貸し出される防寒着も分厚いしっかりとしたものでした。

以前は夏季(７月)に参加し、今回は冬季(３月)に参加しました。
前回は満天の星空と複数の人口衛星に感動し、絶対もう一度見たいと思い、新婚旅行はハワイ島を選びました。
今回では見える星座も違い、おもしろかったです。ただ月がでていると見える星が減るので、参加する日は選んだ方がベターです。

また参加するつもりでいます。
