All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

Not only do you get mountain tubing, you get a little forest AWD ride beforehand that is incredible on its own. This is well worth it in so many ways!

The tour was so personal, we were so happy to find a company that has private tours for great prices.

Well taken care of horses which we very much appreciated, with the ride having stunning coastal views!

Lots and I mean lots to do and see on this road! We had got so many wonderful scenes throughout.

I think being able to ride horses along the coast is something unique to Hawaii, so I decided to participate. All the explanations were in English, but during the drive, our driver, Kaz, kindly provided information in Japanese, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience! The horses seemed well-trained; they moved forward on their own when the horse in front did. In Haleiwa, I was dropped off at my desired location, so I could easily go to the shops I wanted to visit!

海沿いを乗馬できるのはハワイならではだと思い参加しました。
説明はすべて英語でしたが、行くまでの道中で日本語でドライバーのカズさんが事前に教えてくれていたので安心して楽しむことができました！
馬も慣れているのか前の馬が進めば自分の意志で進んでくれました。
ハレイワでは希望の場所で降ろしてもらえたので迷わずに行きたいお店に行けました！

Kualoa Ranch, famous for being a filming location for Jurassic Park, is truly breathtaking when you see the scenery right in front of you. The horseback riding lasts a solid two hours. You ride in a line of six, navigating some pretty tough paths, including narrow trails and cliffs. However, the horses are very smart and know the way, so there are no issues.

One instructor accompanies you and explains the locations in English. Occasionally, if a horse doesn't move or if a rider's posture is poor, they will give you a reminder. My legs were shaking after the two hours, but it was truly a valuable experience, and I'm glad I did it! Since it's a tour, you might have some free time afterward, but the burgers at the café are incredibly delicious, and since the ocean is right next to it, you can relax by the sea if you return within the time limit. I think it's an experience you can't have in Japan!

ジュラシックパークのロケ地で有名なクアロアランチ。知ってはいたけど、いざ目の前に広がる景色をみると圧巻です。
乗馬はしっかり２時間します。6名で1列になり、細道や崖などけっこうハードな道を進みます。ただ、お馬さんがとてもお利口で道を分かっているので問題ないです。
インストラクターの方は1名着いてくれ英語でロケーションの説明などをしてくれます。
たまに、お馬さんが動かなかったり、乗る人の姿勢が悪かったりすると声をかけてくれます。２時間終わった後の足はガクガクになりましたが、本当に貴重な体験ができてやって良かったです！ツアーなので、終わった後に時間を持て余しますがカフェのハンバーガーがめちゃくちゃ美味しいのと横が海なので時間内に戻れば海に行ってのんびりも出来ます。日本では出来ない体験だと思います！

We were picked up at 3 PM for Haleakalā. Despite the temperature being 29°C, we gathered with warm clothing. The car set off towards Haleakalā, taking breaks for altitude acclimatization. At 1000 meters, we stopped at a supermarket to prepare dinner. At 2000 meters, we took a bathroom break and captured photos of avocado trees.

We reached the 3000-meter mark, but some participants felt the air was thin. At 6 PM, our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, treated us to various poke ingredients and rice, which we enjoyed as poke bowls in the car. Once it got dark, we had a stargazing session. Despite bringing a down coat, it was still cold, and I was surprised that my hands became numb.

We returned to the hotel around 10:30 PM, and I am grateful to Mr. Yamauchi for being talented, attentive, and smooth in conversation, keeping tourists, including children, engaged for over half a day.

ハレアカラへは15時のお迎えだった。
気温29℃なのに防寒着を持っての集合だった。
さっそくハレアカラを目差して車は出発した。高地順応のために休憩を取りながらのハレアカラ行である。
1000mではスーパーマーケットに立ち寄り夕食の用意をした。
2000mではトイレタイムでアボカドのなっている木を写真に収めた
いいよ3000mの地点に到達したが空気を薄いと感じていた参加者もいた。
18時になって添乗員ヤマウチさんが薦めてくれた種々のポキの具材とご飯をポキ丼にして車内でいただいた。
暗くなったところで天体観察である。寒さの中、星や星座の説明を聞きながら天体観察させてもらった。ダウンコートを持って行ったのにも関わらず寒かった。手が悴んで感覚がなくなってきたのには驚いた。
ホテルへ帰ってきたのは22時半ころであったが、それにしても添乗員ヤマウチさんは多才で気が利いて、話が滑らかで子供を含めた観光客を半日以上もずっと飽きさせないで案内してくれたことには感謝している。

We experienced this as a family of four.
We progressed along the grassy path from the ranch to the seaside! The ocean spread out before us, and it was a wonderful location.
Each horse had its own personality, and we were able to enjoy a valuable experience while walking leisurely.

家族で4人で体験しました。
牧場から草道を進み海辺へ！海が広がり素晴らしいロケーションでした。
馬もそれぞれの性格が有り、のんびりと歩きながら貴重な体験が出来ました。

The staff were all fun. It was a fun and refreshing mild adventure. The food was much better than expected. Just sandwiches but on soft, buttery croissants with really fresh cheese and veggie condiments. The pictures are very pricey so we skipped them. Enjoy!

I participated in the E-bike tour again this time. This is a repeat from last year. The guide was very kind and attentive. One slight disappointment was that it was crowded, and the spots often overlapped with jeep tours and bus tours. Last time it was less crowded, so it was more comfortable. I recommend Kualoa Ranch to others as well. I have experienced bus tours and horseback riding multiple times, but the E-bike tour offers the best scenery and photography opportunities.

今回もEバイクツアーに参加しました。昨年に次いでリピートです。。ガイドさんもとっても親切で丁寧に接してくれました。少し残念だったのは混んでいてスポットがジープツアーやバスツアーと重なることが多かったです。前回は空いていたので過ごしやすかったです。クアロアランチは他の方にも勧めています。バスツアー、乗馬など何度も体験していますがEバイクツアーが1番景色や撮影をを楽しめます。

I participated despite my anxiety from the lack of Japanese support and reviews, but I was able to watch a video with explanations in Japanese, so I could join without worrying about the language. The horses were very gentle and cute, and I'm glad I had this experience. It became my favorite memory from this trip.

日本語対応なしと口コミをみて不安な中参加しましたが、日本語の説明の映像を見せてもらえましたし　　　言葉の心配なく参加できました。　　馬がとっても穏やかで可愛くてこの体験ができてよかったです　　今回の1番の思い出になりました

If you like adventure in an area you have not explored before, this is for you. We had a side-by-side thrilling ride to an amazing waterfall. The view is breathtaking and the water so refreshing. Water was great to cool off and clean up a bit. Amanda, Alysha, and Saire were excellent guides. They were very helpful and extremely personable. We highly recommend this Big Island adventure.

It was my first time at Kualoa! I had a great time. Although Japanese is not widely understood, there was a Japanese guide's video on-site, and I was able to drive the buggy without any worries! And the staff were so lively! I was very satisfied with the beautiful nature of Kualoa!

初めてのクアロアでした！楽しかったです。
日本語はほぼ通じませんが、現地でも日本語ガイドのVTRがありバギーも心配なく運転できました！そしてスタッフさんのノリのいいこと！少し足を延ばしてクアロアの大自然！大満足でした！

At first, I was nervous, but the moment I jumped, all of that disappeared. If I could jump again, I would want to do it right now! For those who are hesitating, you absolutely should do it. It will change your perspective on life!

最初は緊張してたけど、飛んだ瞬間すべて吹き飛びました。
もう一回飛べるなら今すぐにでも飛びたい！
迷ってる人、絶対にやった方がいいです。人生観変わるレベルです！

The mountains were closed until the day before, and it was cloudy the day before that, so I was worried, but those worries were unnecessary as we had clear skies.

It turned out to be the best sunset and stargazing experience.

Especially during the stargazing, I was able to capture photos of the Southern Cross and the lights of Kilauea Volcano.

It was truly an amazing experience! Next, I will challenge myself with sunrise! I will definitely come back!

前々日まで山はクローズ、前日も曇りだったので心配していましたが、そんな心配は無用の晴天
最高のサンセットと星空鑑賞になりました

とくに星空での写真撮影では南十字星とキラウエア火山の明かりを写真に収めることができました

本当に最高の体験でした！
次はサルライズに挑戦します！
絶対また戻ってきます！

The Southern Cross was very beautifully visible. I was surprised to hear that observatories from various countries have different structures and operate remotely. The explanation using the green laser was easy to understand, and I was amazed at how straight the laser traveled far into the distance.

南十字星がとても綺麗に見えました。各国の天文台がいろんな構造をしていてリモートで動いていると聞いて驚きました。緑色のレーザーでの解説がわかりやすくレーザーが遠くまでまっすぐ飛ぶことにびっくりしました。

The weather was nice, so we were able to enjoy both the sunset and stargazing beautifully!

Also, our guide, Kouki, provided clear explanations and took beautiful photos for us. It was the best experience! I'm glad I participated!

天気も良かったのでサンセット、星空鑑賞共に綺麗にみることができました！

また、案内人のコウキさんの案内も
わかり易く、写真撮影も綺麗に撮って頂いて
最高でした！
参加して良かったです！

I was able to see the sunset and starry sky from the summit of Mauna Kea, which I had always wanted to experience at least once in my life, and my dream came true. I was very moved to see the Southern Cross, which is almost impossible to see in Japan. It was a sight I will never forget! I had a precious experience.

人生で一度は見たいと思っていたマウナケア山頂からのサンセットと星空を見ることができて夢が叶いました。
日本ではほぼ見ることができない南十字星を見ることができてとても感動しました。目に焼き付けました！
貴重な経験ができました。

The view of the sunset sinking below our location was amazing. There are many observatories from various countries, and stargazing was wonderful; we were both moved.

サンセットが自分のいる場所より下に沈む光景は最高でした。各国の天体観測所も沢山あり、星空観察も素敵で、夫婦揃って感動しました。

It's relaxing to ride a horse on the vast grounds. By the end, it feels so comfortable that you might just fall asleep. I recommend taking a longer time as it allows you to cover more area.

広大な敷地を馬に乗ってのんびり
最後には心地良くてそのまま眠りそうに
時間長い方が範囲も広くておすすめです

It was also a filming location for movies like Jurassic Park, so I felt like I was in the movie. There is a Japanese version of the buggy operation instruction video, so it's reassuring. Just bring your passport and Japanese driver's license, and you're good to go!

ジュラシックパーク等の撮影ロケにもなっていて映画の中にいる気分でした。
バギーの操作説明ビデオは日本語バージョンもあるので安心。
パスポートと日本の運転免許証あればOK！

I've always wanted to visit the summit of Mauna Kea. I felt reassured with a wonderful guide who spoke Japanese. However, there were many participants, and the van was quite cramped. The sandwich we had at the summit was extremely delicious. Since it's over 4,000 meters high, the oxygen was thin, and I felt a bit lightheaded.

昔から行きたかったマウナケア山頂。
素敵な日本が話せるガイドさんで安心しました。ただ参加者が多くぎゅうぎゅうのバンでした。山頂で食べるサンドイッチは大変美味しかったです。4000メートルを超えるところなので酸素が薄くて少し頭がくらくらしました。

The guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was a fulfilling day. It was really good. However, all the participants were Americans, and perhaps because they all had knowledge about Hawaii, the topics discussed were quite difficult. Things like how to buy land and rumors about Captain Cook. If you have prior knowledge and are fluent in English, it would be very enjoyable, but if your level is just average, you might feel a bit left out.

ガイドさんがとても熱心ないい方で、知識も豊富。充実感のある一日でした。とても良かったです。ただ参加者はアメリカ人の方ばかりで、またハワイに着いても知識がある方ばかりだったからか、話の内容がなかなか難しいものでした。土地の買い方やキャプテンクックの噂話など。事前知識があったり、おそらく英語がペラペラだととっても楽しいかと、ただそれなりレベルだとポツン悲しい思いをしてしまうかも。

Amazing crew and experience ♥️🐢 saw several turtles and so much more with explanations by the staff

The driver was polite and it was great. It was a very good hike that we could do in two hours with elementary school children, going up and down. The weather was nice, and the view from the top was wonderful. There were also many elderly people and those with babies.

ドライバーさんが丁寧で良かったです。小学生子供連れて、２時間で、登って降りて来れる、とても良いハイキングでした。天気も良く、頂上からの眺めは素晴らしかったです。お年寄りも赤ちゃん連れの方もたくさんいました。

A cheerful guide with 200% enthusiasm will take you through the jungle by car. It's a real mountain road, so it's like a roller coaster activity. I was torn between this and a movie location tour, but if you're not that invested in movies, I recommend this one. The scenery was beautiful and it was fantastic!

テンション200%の陽気なガイドさんが車でジャングルを案内してくれます。本格的な山道なので、ジェットコースターみたいなアクティビティです。映画のロケ地ツアーと迷いましたが、そこまで映画に思い入れがない人はこちらがおすすめ。景色も綺麗で最高でした！

After arriving at Kualoa Ranch, there were some parts of the explanation that were a bit unclear. The horseback riding experience varies depending on the personality of the horse, so compatibility can differ between people and horses. I recommend studying how to ride and handle horses in advance!

説明は全部英語でクアロアランチ到着後、多少説明がわかりづらい部分はありました。乗馬体験は、馬によっても性格も違うので相性が合うかは人と馬によりけりです。馬の乗り方や馬の操り方を事前に勉強しておくことをオススメします！

It was a valuable experience. Thank you very much. If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate again. Thank you.

貴重な体験となりました。ありがとうございました。機会があれば、また参加させて頂きたいです。ありがとうございます。

My husband and I had a tour with James through Hawaiian Eyes Tours and absolutely loved it!! The sunset was beautiful and the star gazing was such an eye opening experience! James was very knowledgeable about the sights and Hawaiian culture. Highly recommend!

Tommy picked us up early at a neighboring hotel/resort. As soon as we arrived, he mentioned me and my son by name and I signed a sheet stating we were present. He was kind, patient, relaxed and informative about the area offering great suggestions on different locations. This experience included our entrance fee to Diamond Head State Monument, transportation to and from the hotel. Our hike was moderate and offered beautiful scenery and awesome photo opportunities. The only area I felt somewhat claustrophobic was going into the tunnel on the way up. Tommy provided cold as well as room temperature water and the ride back was comfortable and convenient as we were dropped off right in front of our resort. Thank you for a great experience! Mahalo!
