I really loved this. Our guide was fantastic. He was so funny & entertaining. They break you up into small groups, which is very nice. There were a couple of times I would have liked to stop & admire views instead of zipping by. But when we did stop, it was at all the best places. Our guide even went out of his way to get wild fruit for us to sample along the way.
We went on the two hour ride, which was perfect. Any less would have been too short, any more...well, you know.
Bring a water bottle (they don't tell you that) and a hat, because when you take the helmet off to take pictures, you have hat-head! Also, an i-pod would have been nice to have. The guides all used one.

Staff always extremely friendly and knowledgible. The entire experience is beautiful and unique. Picnic and swimming site is also terrific. Everytime we visit and will visit Kauai we will do our mountain tubing.
Thank you for pleasant memories once again.

Having grown up in Hawaii, I have grown very fond of Mauna Kea and it is definitely my favorite place to be. This trip, though pricey, is well worth the expense. When will you ever see both the North Star and Southern Cross in one place? And when will you ever feel like you can just reach out and touch the stars. The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions and concerns. This is by far the best tour I have ever taken on the Hawaiian islands. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique adventure or anyone interested in the stars!

I was worried about the rain down below, but the night sky at the summit was filled with stars. I was amazed to see artificial satellites with the naked eye. However, even though it was midsummer, it was "bone-chilling cold," so gloves and hand warmers are essential. The staff were really nice and enthusiastically explained the night sky. Thank you very much, Jeff.
下界は雨で心配してましたが、山頂は満点の星空でした。
人工衛星まで肉眼で確認できる夜空に感動しました。
但し、真夏とは言え「底冷えする寒さ」なので、手袋・カイロは必需品です。
とにかくスタッフがいい人で、熱心に星空を解説してくれます。 ジェフさん本当に有難うございました。

The 2-hour ATV ride was the most awesome adventure all week. The view of the island was absolutely gorgeous, riding through the 4 or 5 streams was great, the challenges of the rugged landscape was great and the equipment was safe and fun to work with. We probably could have used bandanas over our mouths - we didn't expect to eat so much dirt but we didn't know we were going to kick up so much dirt. The guides were so cool too. It was the best adventure for us 18 year olds and glad we did the two-hour ride instead of one!

A great way to see and learn about Hawaii. The hike through the rain forest was very fun and not at all overly exerting (perfect for a vacationing explorer). The guide was very knowledgable and entertaining, offering a perfect mix of commentary, facts and quiet time for some quiet reflection.
The bike tour was also very nice, only it was too short (well, the bottom of the hill has to come eventually). Again, the guide was knowledgable and gave us some spectacular views of Hawaii.

My mother insisted on signing up for something she absolutely wanted to do! My father and I (both university students) were like, "What?!" This is my third time in Hawaii. Every time I go, my mother challenges herself with various activities! Climbing to the top of Diamond Head, stargazing on the Big Island at night, scuba diving, horseback riding, bodyboarding... and so on (laughs). The highlight was definitely skydiving! It's a must-do! The staff were amazing! I was surprised to see Taguchi from KAT-TUN participating privately! It became a great memory. I will go again and bring photos from that time!
母親がどうしても絶対にやりたいと申し込んでしまいました!父と私は(大学生)えっ~!っとびっくり!私は三度目のハワイ。行くたびに、母はいろんなコトにチャレンジ!
ダイヤモンドヘッド頂上登山、ハワイ島の夜の☆観測、スキューバーダイビング、乗馬、ボディボード・・・などなど(笑)やっぱり最高だったのがスカイダイビング!絶対やるべき!スタッフの方達が最高゚+。:.゚ヽ(*´∀`)ノ゚.:。+゚

Our guide, Randy was fantastic. I was a little upset with your company that they did not portrait the excursion correctly. It was supposed to be an Eastern Maui excursion going 25 miles down the Road to Hana then to the Garden of Eden. This is not correct. That excursion had been replaced with a more difficult Western Maui location. We did not travel the Road to Hana, nor see the Garden of Eden. This was a more strenuous hike and climb. I have an injury to my shoulder and would have not chosen this adventure if it was represented correctly by your website and your staff that I spoke to. All in all, I would reccomend this escursion to others without existing injuries. Our guide did a great job and was very informative.

Our guide, Mike was wonderful - he was funny, knowledgable, and very helpful to everyone that needed it. We have 14 year old twins (boy and a girl) and I think they might have enjoyed the tour more than us, if that's possible. It was more than we expected and turned out to be the best tour we did in the 7 days on the islands. (we were on a cruise).

I booked the lunch ride for myself and Daughter in June of 2007. I have to commend the Gunstock Ranch, we had such a wonderful time with our 2 tour guides and saw the beautiful sights of Oahu from the bottom to the top. Were we found seashells on the very top of the mountain and mongoose along the path to get there. The Lunch and the company the tour forward will last us forever until we can get back again to do it all over, I would not hesitate to recommend this extremely enjoyable activity. If you ever need a recommendation please let me know.

The drive up the volcano is "trip" in itself. The steep, winding, narrow road with a shear dropoff on the side is a pulse pounder. Be ready for the thin atmosphere at the top. Overall, it was an exciting and very unique experience that I would recommend to all adults.

Never been on a helicopter so this was really exciting for me. It is a great way to see the island. The way you are seated in the helicopter is by weight distribution with other passangers so it is by chance you get the window seat or not. The only small complain I have is that I wish the pilot could have circled or turned around on some spots so everyone could have a chance to view the scene. I was lucky to have a window seat but there where times when I had to strain over to see a tourist spot on the other side of the copter and I would be lucky if I was even able to catch a small glimpse of whatever the attraction was.

This time, my husband and I experienced skydiving for the first time. The moment we jumped out of the plane was so quick that I didn't have time to feel scared; I was dropped on a count of one, two, three, so I didn't feel that much fear. The weather was nice, and the view was really beautiful.
However, while falling, the wind was strong, making it hard to breathe. Additionally, when the instructor asked me, "Do you like roller coasters?" and I answered, "Yes!" I was spun around to the right and left, which made me feel a bit nauseous. There were also others doing aerial spins.
My instructor was Japanese, so after the parachute opened, he explained various things while we enjoyed the scenery, which made it easy to understand. I'm glad I was able to land safely. The video and photos became great keepsakes.
今回主人と2人でスカイダイビングを初体験しました。
飛行機から飛び降りる瞬間は、怖いと思うまもなく、ワン・ツー・スリーで落とされたのでそんなに怖さは感じませんでした。天気が良かったので、すごく綺麗でした。
ただ、落ちている間風が強くて、息がしづらかったです。おまけに、インストラクターの方に「ジェットコースターは好きですか?」と聞かれたので、「はい!」と答えたら、右回りや左回りにくるくる回され、体を締め付けられているから、少し気持ちが悪かったです。空中回転している方もいらっしゃいました。
私のインストラクターは日本人の方だったので、パラシーウトが開いたあと、景色を
見ながらいろいろ説明してくれたので分かりやすかったです。なんとか、無事に着地する事が出来てよかったです。ビデオや写真も記念になりました。

The trio combination of snorkeling, hiking and biking was unique. Our favoriate part of the day was the hike through the rain forest and snorkeling. The biking was OK but not at all challenging; good for the scenic view only. The snorkeling was OK, but could have been better if there was more to see i.e. aquatic life beyond the turtle. We also found it to be a bit intimidating to snorkel in the ocean, which was rather rough that day. We have snorkeled in the past in more protected areas such as coves and bays, and were anticipating something similar. Overall, if we could do it again, we would chose the hike, skip the biking and only do snorkeling within a contained area.
Thank you.

This was a great activity for myself and my husband. We have experience riding atv's so felt very comfortable with riding and looking around. If we hadn't we would have missed much of the views as there weren't but two stops where we could look and take pictures. The ride was not too advanced but challenging enough for beginners and experienced riders. Only complaint would be not being able to enjoy the scenery we were riding through more as it was spectacular.
