All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I participated after being recommended by a friend. I was a bit hesitant because the price was high, but it was definitely the right decision!

I was moved by the scenery I had never seen before. The sun, radiating overwhelming light above the red-tinted clouds, was incredibly mystical. Also, the stargazing afterward was fortunate, as it seemed to be a clear night for viewing stars. I was able to see shooting stars, the Milky Way, and numerous constellations, making it feel just like a planetarium.

As for the climate, I had prepared hand warmers and a scarf thinking it would be colder, but it wasn't as chilly as I expected.

If I were to mention a downside, it might be unavoidable, but it seemed that the pickup was last, so my friend and I ended up sitting apart, and I had to sit alone for a long time during the journey. Since the scenery was so beautiful, I wish I could have enjoyed it with my friend while chatting...

友達に勧められて参加しました。
料金が高いのでちょっと迷っていたのですが、参加して正解！

見たことのない景色に感動しました。
赤く染まる雲の上に圧倒的な光を放つ太陽が、すごく神秘的でした。
また、そのあとのスターゲイジングも、運よくきれいに星が見える日だったようで、流れ星や天の川、数々の星座が見れて、まるでプラネタリウムのようでした。

気候は、もっと寒いかなとカイロやマフラーまで用意してたのですが、思ったより寒くなかったです。

難点をあげるとすれば、仕方ないのかもしれませんが、ピックアップが最後だったようで、友達と席が離れてしまい、長時間の移動を一人で座っていたことですね。
せっかくのきれいな景色だったので、友達とわいわいしながら観たかったな。。。

Amazing!! My husband and my teenage daughter had a great sky diving adventure. If you just pay for the jump it is reasonable but if you want pictures or DVD it is quite a lot more. The staff was great, very professional! Would definitely do this again, but it is a little cheaper if you just book through them because they do offer daily specials. But felt the price through this site was reasonable.

I loved this activity!!!! The ATV's were sooo cool!!! It took me a little to get a hold of it, so me and my bf went on a separate group. It was just the three of us, including my instructor Jacob. Jacob was great, very informative and he even let us do some cool turns. The views are to die for, specially the china-man's hat. We saw where 50 First Dates was filmed, and stood inside Godzilla's paw!!! This is nothing like driving a car, it is much cooler. This is definitely something I would do everywhere I go. Do the 2 hour ATV, gives you enough time, because once it's over you are going to wish there were 4 hour ATV's!!

Among the many sunset and stargazing tours available, I chose this one after reading reviews.

The weather and conditions were great, and the beauty of the sunset exceeded my expectations. The starry sky was so stunning that even after returning to the hotel late at night, I was too excited to fall asleep.

At first, I had trouble following the guide's explanations with the laser pointer and missed a few constellations, but overall, I was very satisfied. I had the chance to experience starlight and see Saturn's rings through a telescope, which was something I couldn't normally do, and I was extremely pleased. Personally, I think it would have been better to familiarize myself with the constellations for this time of year in advance. I was a bit worried about altitude sickness, but since we ascended gradually, it wasn't a problem at all. During the stargazing, they served us tea, which I think helped with hydration.

This may not be directly related to the tour, but during dinner, they served miso soup in bowls, and the bento boxes were not disposable but reusable, which showed the guide's effort and consideration for the environment.

If I have the opportunity again, I would love to join this tour once more.

数あるサンセットと星空観測ツアーの中、口コミなどを見てこちらのツアーに参加しました。

天候とコンディションもよく、想像以上のサンセットの美しさと満点の星空に、夜遅くツアーからホテルに帰ってからも、興奮してなかなか寝付けないくらいでした。

ガイドさんの説明も、最初はレーザーポインタを目で追うのが慣れなくて、いくつか星座を見逃してしまいましたが、充分満足できるものでした。星明りを体験したり、望遠鏡で土星の輪を見せてもらったり、普段経験できないことが存分にできて大変満足でした。個人的には、この時期の星座を事前に頭に入れておいておけば、良かったかと思います。高山病の不安もありましたが、時間をかけて上がっていったので、全く問題ありませんでした。星空観測の際も、お茶をサービスして頂き、水分を補給していたのが良かったのだと思います。

ツアーと直接関係ないかもしれないですが、夕食のお弁当の時に、お味噌汁をお椀でサービスして下さったり、お弁当箱もゴミで捨てるものではなく、回収してまた使えるものだったり、ガイドさんの手間は掛かるでしょうが、環境に対する配慮も感じられました。

また機会があったら、こちらのツアーに参加したいと思います。

I participated in the "Sunset and Starry Sky" tour at Masashi Nature School. Thank you very much for the other day. We truly appreciate your hospitality. For us, it was a honeymoon and our first time on the Big Island, creating wonderful memories.

We were deeply moved by the sunset viewed from Mauna Kea and the starry sky sparkling at night. The explanation about the stars was thorough and very easy to understand. The images taken with the high-sensitivity camera were also sent to us via email later, and the aftercare was excellent.

In addition to the starry sky, the bento and miso soup we received had a homemade feel and were very warm, which was another highlight for us.

The warm clothing provided was also a great help.

Thank you very much! I hope to use your services again when we travel somewhere else.

まさしネイチャースクール『夕陽と星空』のツアーに参加させていただいた者です。
先日はありがとうございました。どうもお世話になりました。
私達にとっては新婚旅行であり、かつ初めてのハワイ島で
大変素敵な思い出となりました。
マウナケアから見た夕焼け、そして夜空にまたたく満点の星空に感激を致しました。
星空の説明も丁寧にしていただいて大変分かりやすかったです。
高感度カメラで撮っていただいた画像も後日メールで送っていただいて、アフターケアもばっちりでした。
星空以外にもいただいたお弁当とお味噌汁が
手作り感がありすごく温かく、感激した要素でもあります。

上下ある防寒着も大変助かりました。

どうもありがとうございました！
またどこか旅行に行く際には何か利用させていただければと思っています。

When I heard that chairs and blankets would be provided for stargazing, I decided to sign up for this tour. I thought I would be able to enjoy the stars while slowly listening to stories about them, along with some tea and a blanket. However, it turned into the guide sharing personal stories instead. In the cold, I would have preferred to hear more about the stars or to return to the hotel earlier.

星を観測するときに、椅子とひざかけを用意してくださるとのことでしたので、こちらのツアーに申し込みました。
椅子とひざかけ、そしてお茶をいただき、ゆっくり星の話を聞きながら、星を見られるのか・・・と思っていたら、ガイドさんの身の上話になってしまいました。寒い中、そのような話を聞くよりも星の話を聞きたかったです。もしくは、もっと早くホテルに帰りたかったです。

I am so happy that we found this tour since it was by far the best experience me and my family had while on vacation on the Big Island. The zipline experience itself was amazing, but to be able to see such a beautiful garden as well just took it over the top.

Totally recommend this tour and can't wait to go back to Hawaii and do this again!

Enjoyed trip. Guides very friendly and well educated. Felt very safe.

Our bike and hike tour was amazing. I wish I could rate this higher than 5 star. Matis (sorry for the spelling) did an amazing job along with the other guides. Everything was done 1st class from the pickup to the drop off. I just wish on our 1st trip to Hawaii in 2008 that I would have discovered this. The views were picture perfect. We were given plenty of time to take pictures, relax, and have a great time. This was definetly the best part of the trip.

As experienced horseback riders, this was our first time riding by the seaside, and it was refreshing and a lot of fun! However, unlike in the canyon, the ride was only 45 minutes, which was a bit disappointing. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to enjoy it a bit longer. The guide was a local Japanese person who shared a lot of detailed information about Hawaii. I think this is a recommended plan for beginners!

乗馬経験者の私たちでしたが、海辺での乗馬は初めてでしたので、新鮮で大変楽しめました♪
ただし、渓谷と違い、４５分と短い時間だったのが残念です。欲を言えば、もう少し堪能したかったです。
ガイドの方は現地の日本人の方で、ハワイについてとても詳しく話してくれました。
初心者の方にはお薦めのプランだと思いますよ♪

We just returned from an awesome trip to Kauai and this was by far our favorite activity! It had a little of everything...kayaking, hiking, ziplines and cooling off in a stream fed pool. I was a little concerned about our kids, ages 9 and 11, but they handled the kayaking, hiking and ziplining with ease. We thought it was definitely worth the money. The 1800' zip was the best! We would do it again in a heartbeat!

Before leaving, we want to express our sincere thanks to you for providing such a ‘class act’ in the tour service you offer. We had the privilege of doing both the Hana and Haleakala trips with you and we had an unforgettable time; learned a great deal and were as comfortable as could be. You certainly leave no stone unturned to ensure the best possible service toyour clients - we appreciate that. Our tour guides were prompt, courteous, most adept at their jobs and extended to us what we refer to as the real Hawaiian hospitality. We could have asked for nothing more. They thought of everything! Please extend our thanks to each of them too for making us feel like one of the family.

Yes the water was 'crisp' but very refreshing. Th whole trip was wonderful and the guides were very experienced with handeling all on the trip, young and older (that was us). I never scraped up an elbow or ankle with their instructions and if it is going to happen to anyone, it would be me.
WONDERFUL TIME!

I am someone who is afraid of heights and even hesitates to ride roller coasters. I felt anxious and nervous after arriving at the airport with the rental car, and I was still fidgeting on the plane. The moment of takeoff was a bit scary, but during the free fall, I felt completely fine and it was just exhilarating. Once the parachute opened and the descent speed decreased, I actually felt a thrill as I was spun around in right and left turns, which was a bit frightening. If I could handle it, then those who are afraid of heights will definitely be fine too! It's a rural area, so both the sea and mountains offer stunning views, and there are Japanese staff on site, which is reassuring. I would love to go again.

私は高所恐怖症でジェットコースターすら乗るのに躊躇う
人です、レンタカーで飛行場に着いてからソワソワして
ビビッていました、飛行機に乗って尚ソワソワ・・・
飛び出しの瞬間だけは一瞬怖かったのですが、フリーフォールの間もまったく怖くは無く気持ちいいの一言でした。
パラシュートが開いて降下速度が落ちてからのほうがむしろ
右旋回・左旋回と怖がらせるようにクルクル回されるので
スリルがあった気がします。
私でも全然大丈夫だったので高所恐怖症の方でも絶対大丈夫ですよ~
ど田舎地域ですので海も山も絶景です、現地に日本人のスタッフもいるので安心です。
又行きたいと思います。

I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our ride. We were a group of five, Joe Shonkwiler (wife Donna), Charlie Johnson, Jeff Goorsky and myself. Sarah and Heidi were our guides. We had an awesome time!!! The ride was fantastic, the views great, the lunch delicious, the horses perfect, Sarah and Heidi outstanding! It couldn't get any better than that. The girls got a kick out of my husband since he had never ridden before as well as being allergic to horses. He did great! Just enough breeze was blowing to keep the allergies at bay and his horse was the perfect babysitter. Thank you again!

Gunstock Ranch is terrific in every way. The scenery is spectacular and the trail guides are fantastic.

I participated in the sunset tour on May 28th.

The setting sun was enchanting and truly wonderful. After the sun set, the moon rose on the opposite side, which was moving, and I was extremely lucky to even see a moonbow.

５/２８のサンサツトツアーに参加しました。

沈む太陽は幻想的で大変素晴らしく、太陽が沈んだ後は反対側より月が昇って感動し、さらに月の虹ムーンボーまで見れ非常にラッキーでした。

Dan was extremely friendly and showed us a great ride. The entire staff was wonderful and we will certainly recommend this place to all our friends.

Mary was awesome!

Thank you for such a fantastic trail ride! Our guide, Brittany was great and it was so nice to have options for canter. Out of all the holiday riding experiences we have had, this has been the best by far. I can definitely say that if it wasn't for the 21 hour flight from the UK, we would be there every weekend!

This was a great tour that took you around about 80% of the island! Awsome scenery! Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

My boyfriend and I had a really great time on this adventure. Our favorite part was the ziplining. We wish there were more lines! I'm scared of heights but enjoyed it so much I can't wait to do it again!
The kayaking was nice despite the rain. We saw a few "movie spots" during our ride down the river. Also, saw some really beautiful sceneries.
The hiking was not strenuous but there were a few times where you really had to watch your step. Also, for those very prone to mosquito bites, be sure to put it on! It was pretty windy so the guides said we probably wouldn't have to worry about the mosquitos but I ended up getting bit 6 times before I was able to put some repellant.
Overall, a really great experience. This is a great tour if you want a piece of everything.

I've never ridden horse before and was thrown off a pony when I was young. I was very nervous. Our guides were excellent and the horses were wonderful. I enjoed the ride very much and also apprciated the photo oppurtunities our guides gave us. We had the ride with the lunch included and I would highly reccomened you indulge in the meal also. I am so glad we did this on our visit to Maui.

Thank you for the magnificent lava plains of the Big Island, the breathtaking views of the mountains in nature, and most of all, to Mr. Yamamoto and Mr. Kurt from Alan1.net for a wonderful time!

Mr. Yamamoto, I was truly impressed by the enjoyable conversations and knowledge shared from the time of pickup until we returned. Thank you for passionately explaining the names of various Hawaiian flowers and plants, the history of lava, and especially all the constellations spread across the night sky. I was amazed by the constellations that cannot be seen in Japan. I was also grateful for the thorough preparations, from meals to drinks and warm clothing.

Mr. Kurt, at the time of pickup, I thought you might be a bit serious, but once you started talking about Hawaiian history, I truly understood your love for Hawaii. As time went on, you gradually conveyed your kindness and humor! I thought she must be chasing after you. Thank you for the long drive. I felt the depth of kindness and thoughtfulness of the people of Hawaii. The B-class gourmet food was also very delicious! Thank you very much.

ハワイ島の壮大な溶岩平野、大自然が広がる山々の景色、何よりすばらしいAlan1.netの山本さん、カートさん、楽しいひと時をありがとうございました！　
山本さん、ピックアップの時より帰り着くまで本当に楽しい会話と知識に感動しました。　　様々なハワイの花や植物の名前や、溶岩の歴史、特に夜空に広がる星座の全てを体を張って説明してくれてありがとうございました。日本では見られない星座に感動感動でした。　　そして、食事の用意から飲み物の用意、防寒服の用意まで至れり尽くせりで感謝感激でした。

カートさん、ピックアップの時は何やら難い人かなと思いましたが、ハワイの歴史を語り始めてカートさんのハワイを愛する心が心底わかりました。　　時が経つにつれてやさしさや面白さを徐々に伝えてくれましたね！　彼女が追いかけて来る筈だと思いました。　　でも、長い時間の運転ありがとうございました。　　ハワイの人たちの優しさや思いやりの深さを感じました。B級グルメでもとても美味しかったです！　　本当にありがとうございました。　

　

The road to Hana is simply enchanting. I do not think that another road like this exists in the world. On the entire trip you are engulfed by the alluring beauty of Hana. The trip into the cave was fascinating. It felt like we were going inside the Earth to a place where the effects of time cannot be felt.

Soaring above the forest on a zipline will make you feel like Tarzan! The forest that the zipline is located in is very lush and scenic. Going on a zipline is a guaranteed way to get your adrenaline fix. They also have a zipline that allows you to jump into the water in a unique and exciting way.

Is this really Hawaii?? It was freezing at the summit of Kilauea, but there are definitely emotions there that you can't experience anywhere else.

The guide's explanations and thoughtfulness were thorough, and despite shivering from the cold, it became a wonderful memory.

これがハワイか？？？？と思うくらい極寒のキラウエア山頂でしたが、絶対！！！味わえない感動がそこにはあります。

ガイドさんの説明、心遣いも行き届いていて、寒さに震えながらも素敵な思い出になりました。

We went on the 4 mile hike and it was a very special experience. You really feel like you are hiking on another planet. The redish rock scenery looks like a movie about Mars could've been filmed here. The views were simply amazing! The hike itself was not too strenuous, but you need to remember that their will be less oxygen up there, so don't be surprised if a 4 mile hike makes you winded.

It was such a beautiful experience to walk through a lush tropical rain forest. The hike was not strenuous, which allowed me to take in all of the beautiful sights and sounds of the rain forest. The waterfall was definitely the highlight of the hike. This is where we took a break and had plenty of photo opportunities. The pictures we took were so beautiful they could probably be used for a post card picture.

This time, I participated in the Mauna Kea Sunset & Stargazing tour.

The staff provided excellent service, and it was a lot of fun, but the literal sunset and starry sky were absolutely the best...

Watching the sunset sink into the sea of clouds far below, with Haleakalā and other landmarks in the distance, was breathtaking. After that, seeing the Earth's shadow on the opposite side and the countless stars visible from about 3,500 meters made me wonder where they had been hiding all this time.

It truly made me feel like a part of this planet, and I would definitely love to participate in this tour again if I have the chance.

今回はマウナケアサンセット＆星空観測のツアーに参加しました。

スタッフの方もサービス満点で楽しかったのですがなんといっても文字通りのサンセット・星空が最高でした。。。

ハレアカラなどをはるか下に見て雲海の中に沈んでいくサンセットは圧巻でしたがその後逆側にできる地球の影、そして３５００Ｍくらいで見た満天の星空はいままではどこに隠れていたのかって言ううくらいの星達。

間違いなく自分たちは地球号の一員なんだなと感じさせられ、機会があればぜひまた参加してみたいツアーでした。

I participated in a 2-hour horseback riding session. As I had read in previous reviews, the Japanese support here is not what you would expect in Waikiki. However, the stunning scenery and the refreshing experience of horseback riding without the mandatory helmets that you are often forced to wear in Japan is remarkable. The staff made a great effort to communicate, and I learned about the kukui nut tree, which is used for making leis, as we progressed through the ranch. Naturally, we encountered groups of cows along the way, which was fun. By the end of the 2 hours, my backside was in so much pain (I suffered from the pain for several days). Next time, when I go with friends, I plan to join the 2-hour course again.

2時間乗馬に参加しました。
ここでの書き込みでも見ていたように、ワイキキで期待できるような日本語対応ではありませんでした。
が。景色の素晴らしさや、日本で体験できる乗馬ではほぼ強制的に着用させられるヘルメット等がない乗馬の爽快感は特筆です。
スタッフさんもコミュニケーションをとろうと努力してくれているのがとてもよくわかり、お土産でも見かける、レイの材料として使われるククイナッツの木を教えてもらったり、牧場内を進んでいくうちに、当然のことながら、牛が団体で現れたり、楽しかったです。
さすがに、2時間が終わるころには、お尻が痛くて仕方ありませんでした（数日、痛みに苦しみました）。
次回、友達と行くときにも、もう一度2時間コースに参加する予定です。
