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

Hike, Bike, Snorkel, Sail

Reviewed by: March 2008

We did this all day adventure with Jeremy who works with Bike Hawaii. He was great!! Full of information and some great sites were seen. We would say to everyone to is going to Oahu this is something you should take time to do. I do though recommend that it be for older kids as the younger ones slowed the group down. But it was a fab day. Thanks Jeremy!!

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Awesome time...

Reviewed by: The Desio's

We had a great time on this tour. It is a 2.5 mile kayak and about a 2 mile hike to a spectacular waterfall. We went in March with our 9 yr old son. These are two person kayaks that you cannot have children in the middle. I ended up pairing up with another mom who came with her family. Our guide was very knowledgeable and able to tell us all about the trees and plants around us and other things along the way. We hiked to the waterfall where we had lunch and able to swim under the waterfall. This is definitely something to try.

Kipu Ranch ATV Tour – Scenic Ride Through Jurassic Park Film Locations

The Best ATV Tour!

Reviewed by: The Desio's

This was an amazing experience. We went in March with our 9 yr old son. My husband got a 4-wheeler and we got the Rhino. The guides were great, making sure everyone was safe before we got going. If someone was unable to operate safely, they would end up riding with the guides. Everyone in our group was respectful and followed the rules so we were able to get extra riding time. The stops were great, my son loved using the rope swing to jump into the river. The lunch spot was great, there was a kitten and small boars that would eat the left overs. The second waterfall was great, a little cold but worth getting in. We were able to see amazing scenery, the views were spectacular. We took some amazing pictures. This is a tour that you must experience. When we return we will definitely be doing this again. THANK YOU for an amazing experience that we will never forget.

クアロア・ランチ 乗馬体験(2時間) 映画ロケ地にもなった雄大な大自然を馬に乗って満喫!<送迎付きプランあり>

For those who want to fully enjoy the nature of Hawaii. ハワイの自然を満喫したい方に。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It was a two-hour horseback ride, but it went by in no time. At first, I was nervous about whether I could control the horse, but those worries were completely unnecessary. The horses were very well-trained and would speed up or walk in line with the instructor's whistle, following the horse in front of them. There was no need to control them at all; in fact, the horses might have found it annoying if given strange commands.

As I got used to it, I had the opportunity to look around and learned about the filming locations of things like Jurassic Park. The instructions were mostly in English, but when they saw Japanese people, they would ask if it would be better to give instructions in Japanese. So, there’s no need to worry about the language.

Surrounded by wonderful nature, you will surely come to love Hawaii from a different perspective.

2時間の乗馬でしたがあっという間でした。最初は馬をコントロールできるかと緊張していましたがそんな心配はまったくいりませんでした。というのも馬がとてもよく訓練されていてインストラクターの口笛で歩調を速めたりきちんと列になって歩いてくれて前の馬についていってくれます。コントロールする必要はまったくありませんでした。かえって馬のほうが変な指示を出されて迷惑だったでしょう。
慣れてくると周りを見る余裕が出てきてジュラシックパークなどの撮影されたところとシーンを教えてくれます。
基本的に英語ですが、日本人を見ると日本語で指示したほうがいいか聞いてくれます。言葉の心配は大丈夫でしょう。
素晴らしい自然に囲まれてきっとまた別の観点でハワイが好きになるでしょう。

Reviewed by: mumu

This was my second time participating in this tour after seven years. Last time I saw the summer constellations, and this time I was able to see the winter constellations. The stars I viewed through the telescope were very beautiful, and since the stars and scenery are different each time, I think I could repeat it many times without getting bored. The guide, Yamachan, was also interesting, and I have been recommending this tour to my friends and family. I definitely want to participate again!

今回このツアーに参加するのは7年ぶりの2回目でした。
前回は夏の星座、今回は冬の星座が見れました。

I love this trip!

Reviewed by: SFBayArea

This was a wonderful, amazing tour! The sunset view from the summit of Mauna Kea is incomparable. I felt like I was standing on top of the world. The stargazing was also wonderful. I never saw the stars so clearly before. My tour guide was Buck, who gave us a great astronomy beginner's lesson. He also was very professional, and knowledgeable about other aspects such as the culture, history, and environmental ecology of the island. I highly recommend this trip to everyone. Bring gloves and a knitted cap--you will use them. The tour company will provide parkas. Cookies and hot chocolate before stargazing was a nice touch!

Reviewed by: SFBayArea

The horseback ride through the Waipio Valley was definitely very scenic. It's a beautiful area. My horse was a little temperamental, preferring to stop and chew on plants by the wayside every few feet. The guides were good with the horses but didn't provide much background or cultural information about the valley and its people. Overall, it's a great way to explore this beautiful, unique valley.

乗馬体験(0.5~2時間) 2歳から参加OKの子供向けコースやサンセット、貸切ランチ付きなど選べるコースで広大な牧場を満喫!<ガンストック牧場/現地集合>

This is my fourth horseback riding location on Oahu. オアフ島では乗馬4箇所目で~す。

Reviewed by: ハワイでは必ず乗馬ファミリー

We are a family that always goes horseback riding in Hawaii. So far, we have ridden in one place on Kauai, three places on Oahu, one place on Molokai, one place on Maui, and one place on the Big Island. This year, we were planning to go horseback riding on Lanai, but we learned that Gunstock Ranch started offering rides last year. Considering the time saved by not having to travel to another island, we quickly booked an afternoon ride online.

After passing through Kahuku from the North Shore, we spotted the sign on the right after about five minutes! We turned right and climbed a bit up the mountain, arriving at a ranch that was completely untouched by tourism. Immediately, friendly dogs and sheep came to greet us. We made our way past the horses that were grazing in the back and found the guides, all of whom were women. After chatting, we learned that they were Mrs. Smith, the ranch owner, her daughter, and a part-time worker from Colorado who came to study at a university in Hawaii.

Although they didn't speak any Japanese, it felt like visiting a neighbor's house for check-in, creating a very homey atmosphere. As we started riding, it felt as if we had chartered the entire experience just for our family. We passed through the rodeo practice area and the training area for the horses, navigating through trees that made us feel like we were in an orchard. While riding, we picked and ate guava, and after climbing for an hour, we reached a viewpoint overlooking the North Shore, Kahuku, and the northeastern sea. We took commemorative photos and videos with this beautiful scenery as our backdrop, watching the sunset behind the mountains as it illuminated the southern part of Kahuku while chatting with our guide on the way back down to the ranch center in 30 minutes.

I wouldn't recommend this for first-time overseas riders, but for those who are tired of touristy horseback riding and can speak a little English, I think this is the best place on Oahu. We were treated to a beautiful sunset that made us forget we were even on Oahu.

ハワイでは必ず乗馬をするファミリー家族です。今までにカウアイ島で1箇所、オアフ島で3箇所、モロカイ島で1箇所、マウイ島で1箇所、ハワイ島で1箇所、今年はラナイ島で乗馬でもしようと計画していたところ、ここガンストック牧場で昨年からやり始めたとの情報を得、わざわざ離島まで行って乗馬することを考えればかなりの時間の節約と考えさっそくネットでアフタヌーン乗馬を予約。ノースからカフクを通り過ぎ約5分ぐらいで右手に看板発見!右折して山側にすこし登るとまったく観光化されていない牧場のたたずまい、早速人懐こいワンちゃんや羊がよって来て歓迎ムード、奥へ放牧されている馬さんたちをよけながら先に進みガイドさん?たちを発見、みなさん女性でお話をしたら牧場主のスミス婦人とそのお嬢さんとコロラド州からハワイの大学へ来たアルバイトのお嬢さんの3人でした。まったく日本語は通じませんがまるでとなりの家へ遊びに行きチェックインも、アットホームな感じ、早速乗馬し我々家族だけのまるでチャーターしたみたいな一行は一路ロデオ練習場や馬を乗馬用になれさせる練習場を通り過ぎ山へ谷へ果樹園と思わせる木々の中を通り過ぎ馬上からグアバをもぎとり食べながら又山へ、1時間も登ると北はノースショアーからカフクそして北東の海海、この景色をバックに記念写真とビデオを撮り、山陰にかくれた太陽の夕日が先のカフクの南を照らすのを見ながらガイドとおしゃべりをしながら牧場中心地へ30分で下山。初めての海外乗馬の方にはお勧め出来ないが、観光乗馬に飽きた方、少し英語がお話できる方にはオアフ島では1番良いところと思います。オアフ島にいる事を忘れてしまいそうなきれいなサンセットを見させていただきました。

Kipu Ranch ATV Tour

Reviewed by: The Boersma Family

This was a fun tour. Very pretty landscape that we rode through. Would have liked a little more time for better picture taking but understand due to the number of people in our group. Being an avid quad rider, the ride was not that challenging but it was fun over all. The guides were very nice and informative and the food was great. We had a party of 8 which included 3 under the age of 10 and they rode in the Rhino with grandpa and I think they had the most fun. The rest of us were on the ATV's. I would go to this ranch again.

It was amazing! 最高でした!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

After arriving at the dive point, before I could even say "I'm scared" or "Wait," I was already falling one after another. I was the last one, but after counting to one, two, I found myself screaming "Yay!" while in the air, lol.

It was incredibly scary, but I became excited halfway through. I was screaming, but the force of the air coming in was so strong that I couldn't hear my own voice at all.

The sensation of falling is indescribable. It's the ultimate free-fall experience!

Once the parachute opened, I floated in the sky like a bird, slowly taking in the views of Oahu.

The Earth is truly round, and the ocean is blue—such obvious things were reaffirmed up in the sky.

In the distance, I could even see the humpback whales, a winter phenomenon in Hawaii, swimming around, which was absolutely amazing!

It's scary, but the refreshing feeling afterward is something you won't understand until you try it. Definitely give it a go~~~~!

I was quite indecisive about how to handle the photo shoot until the very end, but it was a bit too expensive... It would be great if it were a little cheaper.

ダイブポイントに到着してからは
怖いーとか待ってーとか言ってるまもなく、
次に次に落ちていきます。
私は最後でしたが、1,2とカウントした後は
気付いたらぎゃーーと叫びながら空にいましたw

むちゃくちゃ怖いけど、
途中から興奮状態になってましたね。
叫ぶんだけど、声を出す勢いより、空気が入ってくる勢いの方がすごくて
全然声が聞こえない。

あの落ちていく感覚は何とも言えません。
究極のフリーフォール体験!

パラシュートが開いてからは鳥のように空を舞いながら、
オアフ島をゆっくり眺める。

地球は本当に丸い
海は青い
なんて当たり前のことなんかを空の上で再確認。

遠くにはハワイの冬の風物詩 ザトウクジラの
泳ぐ姿なんかもみられて、本当に最高でした!

怖いけど終わった後のあの爽快感はやってみないとわかりませぬ。
是非おためしあれ~~~~ !

I saw Andromeda! アンドロメダが見えた!

Reviewed by: カップル雨&雲

We were a couple who reserved for January 25th, and we appreciate your hospitality. Unfortunately, due to the rain clouds, our sunset was obstructed by clouds on the mountainside, but the sky turned a beautiful orange.

Finally, we were ready to enter the world of stars—dressed in the warm down jackets provided, we sat back comfortably in our chairs, and the sky above was filled with countless stars. Our thoughts about Yamapi's star were passionately expressed, but then the rain came again. However, with the amazing telescope that perfectly focused on any star, we were able to see Subaru and the admired Andromeda.

On our way down, we stopped the car and caught glimpses of stars during breaks in the rain. Then, we headed home while listening to pleasant background music.

The mountain weather is whimsical, and while the stars were a bit disappointing, there was so much more! The hot and fluffy crispy donuts and the nostalgic taste of the Grigri ice cream were incredibly delicious, bringing back memories of Maui! I wanted to get out of the car and see the relaxed ranch.

At the shop, I sampled a lot and bought Maui-made jams and butter as souvenirs, and the recommended tea from Yamapi was also very tasty! (Next time I come, I’ll buy a lot!) The amazing bento we had in the car, with simmered dishes and tempura, was delicious too!

At the observation deck, thanks to the bad weather, we were able to see the Brocken, and the flowing clouds in the crater were like a mystical world of Dali; I could have watched it forever. Thank you for a wonderful time.

The Andromeda Galaxy is a large star cluster located 2.3 million light-years away, and its light was emitted long before Kauai and Maui Islands even appeared. It feels very mysterious. Please observe it as vividly as you saw in the photo book from your childhood! Now that Saturn has also risen, the excitement has doubled. I look forward to our reunion in Maui.

アンドロメダ星雲は230万光年先にある大星団でその光はまだカウアイ島もマウイ島も出現する前から放たれた光なのです。

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 was very satisfied. 大満足でした

Reviewed by: HANCHAN

I returned home yesterday, and I'm reminiscing by looking back at my photos. Although I was disappointed that my initial reservation for Mauna Kea on the 5th was canceled, we went ahead on the final day of our stay, the 8th. It was cold! The snow that fell until yesterday created a stunning winter wonderland in this "tropical country." However, while we were able to see the sunset, the cloudy sky made it impossible to see the stars.

Instead, we were able to clearly see the bright red river of lava flowing from Kilauea volcano through the telescope that was set up for us! This was a sight that would be impossible to see during the day and also not something you would encounter while hiking Kilauea, so it was incredibly moving. The staff were also surprised, saying, "I've never seen it this clearly before."

Satisfied with that, we set off on our way back, but suddenly veered off the main road at Highway 19 and stopped. Although it wasn't quite at the summit, we were treated to a breathtaking starry sky that would be impossible to see in Japan, and we received a light-hearted explanation of the Milky Way and constellations. It was my first experience confirming our zodiac signs, Cancer and Gemini, with my partner.

Thank you so much, Minoyan, for the extra direction and guidance!

 昨日帰国しましたが、写真を見返して思い出を反芻しています。
 マウナ・ケア行きは、当初予約の5日がキャンセルで残念でしたが、滞在最終日の8日は決行。寒い!昨日までの降雪で真っ白な「常夏の国の」銀世界は圧巻。ただし落日は観られたものの曇天で星空は無理でした。
 しかしその代わりに、セットしてもらった望遠鏡で、キラウエア火山から流れ出る真っ赤な溶岩の川が鮮明に!!!昼間は絶対に無理な、またキラウエア登山でもお目にかかれない光景だそうで大感動でした。スタッフの方も「こんなに鮮明に見えたのは初めてだ」と驚いていたほどです。
 それで満足して帰途についたのですが、もう少しで19号線という場所で突然横道にそれて停車。山頂には及ばないらしいものの、日本では到底無理な満天の星空で、天の川や星座の解説を軽妙にしてもらいました。自分と連れ合いの、かに座・双子座の確認は初めての体験です。
 みのやん、エキストラの演出、本当に有難うございました。

I participated in this activity during my honeymoon. When I thought of Hawaii, I only considered ocean activities, but my husband, who usually doesn't express a desire to go anywhere, said he wanted to join. As a result, we decided to participate, and it turned out to be the most memorable tour among all the activities we did in Hawaii!

The emotion I felt while gazing up at countless stars, to the point where I forgot to breathe, is something I will never forget. (It was worth waiting without rushing!)

During our stay, the weather was not great with many clouds, and I almost gave up at one point, but thanks to Mr. Yamauchi, we were able to see a sky full of stars. The feeling of not giving up is truly important.

Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi, for the wonderful time.

The star-filled night sky is something that can't be explained unless you see it. It's quite a niche star tour, so you'll have to hold back on the places you want to see, and when the moment comes, you'll give the cue, making the second half a battle with yourself—laughs.

Everyone has their own feelings and shares time together, and I believe that when it all comes together, a wonderful emotion is born. I look forward to our next reunion. Please take your time and be happy!
