All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

The site is like a theme park, with each activity clearly separated. Of course, the scenery is amazing. It's wonderful.

However, after the bus arrives, the waiting times after each activity are too long. It would be even better if there were more frequent shuttle buses.

現場はテーマパークのようになっていて
それぞれのアクティビティが分かりやすか分かれている
もちろん景色は最高。素晴らしい

しかしバスが着いてから、
アクティビティが終了してからがそれぞれ待ち時間が長すぎる。
もう少し頻繁に往復ばすがあればなおよし。

I was worried because it was cloudy that day, but I was very satisfied to see the stunning sunset. The sandwich was also delicious. I want to go see it again someday.

当日曇りで不安でしたが、迫力満点のサンセットが見れて大満足です。
サンドイッチも美味しかったです。
またいつか見に行きたいです。

Uncle Ken was a great tour guide. Was overall very nice tour, but do beware ride is quite bumpy. Nice all inclusive family tour. Quick and easy check in. Nice facilities all around. We really enjoyed the farm animals as well prior to our jungle tour.

The tour was mainly conducted in English, but the guide also explained things in Japanese when needed, which was very helpful for Japanese guests. Although it was primarily in English, the guide also provided some explanations in Japanese.

With perfect weather, the sea of clouds, the sunset disappearing beneath them, and the breathtaking starry sky made this an unforgettable experience.

We truly enjoyed Hawaii’s unique volcanic landscapes and beautiful night sky.

The guide also kindly took lots of photos for us, which we really appreciated. ✨

Beware! Poor communication and NOT a sunrise tour as stated

This was sold as a sunrise at Diamond Head which turns out NOT ACCURATE AT  ALL! Diamond Head doesn’t even open until 6:00 and sunrise was 6:11 that day. By the time the van was parked it was 6:06. So obviously we did not make it to the top or even to a look out point to view the sunrise. We did get some pretty pictures BUT it was not sunrise by far. Even the pick up location was a rough start and poor, poor communication.  The instructions to 5:15 a.m pick up were at Hyatt Regency and the address. That’s it, that’s all the information that was given. So, we show up, we’re waiting and waiting then the driver calls and ask if we’re coming. Jon told him we’re here where we standing and he said no they’re on the side of the building. We go to the side of the building, which turns out to be a side road. Which looks like a shady looking road for deliveries and the van is parked behind the dumpster, picture attached. Now image this side street, van parked behind the dumpster at 5:00 a.m in the dark.
After the hike we returned at 7:31. Now pick up was at 7:30 and we did show up 1 minute late at  7:31 and the van was gone. Again, we’re waiting and looking. After a few minutes Jon calls. Thankfully we had the phone number from when he called us that morning or we would’ve had no clue what to do. Turns out THEY HAD LEFT! The driver tells us to wait there that he will turn around to come get us. When I questioned the driver about leaving us he said “Julie told you to be back at 7:30” to which I explained  we were back at 7:31 and called you at 7:33. He said I was coming back. I questioned again, “how were we to know that? All we knew was that our tour had left us. You could’ve called like you did this morning but instead you just drove off. “ He was never able to give a reason for just driving off or not even calling. He just kept saying, you were told to be back at 7:30.  My advice DO NOT TAKE THIS TOUR WITH THIS

I participated in a sunset and stargazing tour this time. It turned out to be a very precious experience. Before going, I was just hoping to see the sunset and the starry sky beautifully, but throughout the tour, I was able to feel the nature of the Big Island of Hawaii, including the scenery along the way to the summit and the sea of clouds.

I thoroughly enjoyed the main events of the sunset and the starry sky. Although there were quite a few clouds during the sunset, it was still sufficiently mystical. The starry sky was so beautiful that I could see shooting stars, which was a first-time experience for me.

Our guide, Chris, provided explanations not only in English but also in Japanese, which made us feel at ease even though we couldn't speak English. I appreciate Chris's thoughtfulness.

If I have friends visiting the Big Island, I would definitely recommend this tour.

今回夕陽と星空観測のツアーに参加しました。とても貴重な時間になりました。
行く前は夕陽と星空、綺麗に見れたらいいなーと思っているくらいでしたが、山頂までの道中の景色や雲海など、ツアーを通してハワイ島の自然を感じることができました。
メインの夕陽と星空も堪能できました。夕陽は少し雲が多かったですが、それでも十分に神秘的でした。星空は流れ星が観れるほど綺麗で、初めての経験でした。

ガイドのクリスさんが英語だけじゃなく、日本語でも解説してくださり、英語ができない私たちでも安心して過ごせました。
クリスさんの気遣いに感謝します。

ハワイ島にくる友人がいたらぜひお勧めしたいです。

It was stated that there would be an English guide, but on the day of the tour, we had a Japanese guide, and I was able to participate in the tour very happily! The guide provided detailed explanations about the stars, which was also educational! I was worried because it was cloudy that day, but when night fell, the sky was filled with stars, and I was truly moved!

英語のガイドと記載されていたのですが、当日は日本語のガイドさんで、とても楽しくツアーに参加することができました！
星の説明を詳しくしてくださり勉強にもなりました！
当日曇っていて心配でしたが、夜になると満天の星で感動しました！

I had always wanted to try this at least once, so I decided to do it in my favorite place, Hawaii. Since I was at it, I opted for 18,000 feet and added a photographer for a full experience. Rather than worrying about various things in advance, I encourage you to just go and see for yourself. There’s no time to feel scared; breathtaking views that are beyond words await you. The staff is very experienced, so you can trust them completely, and they keep the atmosphere lively throughout the experience.

Most importantly, they took a lot of photos and videos during the pre-interview, and I even received them on the way back, which I really appreciated. After returning home, I found myself reminiscing about it many times, and it made for great stories to share with others! I also received discount coupons for my next visit, so I hope to catch a rainbow or sunset at the right time someday!

一度は挑戦してみたいと思っていたので、せっかくなら大好きなハワイでと決めていました。
せっかくなのでオプションで18,000ftにし、カメラマンもつけフルフルに。
事前に色々不安になるよりも、飛んで見てほしいです。
怖いとか感じる時間もないくらい、そこには言葉にならない絶景が待ってます。
スタッフは皆さん慣れているので安心しておまかせでき、終始盛り上げてくれ
何より事前インタビューや動画・写真もたくさん撮ってくれ（しかも帰りの道中には届いた！）、ありがたかったです。
帰国した後も何度も身返し、周囲へも良い土産話になりました！
次回からのオフクーポンもいただけたので、いつか虹やサンセットがタイミングよく見れたらなと思います！

I was able to see a wonderful starry sky. Our guide, James, was a friendly nice guy, and we had a great time. This is a tour that everyone should experience at least once.

素晴らしい星空が見られました。
ガイドのジェームズは気さくなナイスガイで楽しい時間を過ごしました。
誰もが一度は体験してほしいツアーです。

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had! It happened to storm in the middle of our tour, which made it even better. They offer great tours if you don’t mind the rough terrain and getting dirty. Check them out if you want a sense of adventure!

This was worth every penny. The staff are just outstanding and know the personalities and quirks of every single horse. They take their time to ensure people are matched with the right horse and give really great instruction before heading out. The trail was great and the view of the ocean was breathtaking. I loved every moment of this excursion and highly recommend.

I participated in the English tour. We were the only Japanese group, but the guide was fluent in Japanese and provided explanations in Japanese at each point, which made me feel at ease.

The dinner they prepared (a sandwich from a famous shop) was incredibly delicious, and I will never forget the taste while enjoying the sunset at the summit.

The experience of being taken by car to a place higher than Mount Fuji is something very precious that you can only experience here.

We also got to observe the stars at a high-altitude spot exclusive to this tour. While enjoying the warm cocoa they provided, I was thrilled to spot the "Southern Cross," which is hard to see from Japan.

英語ツアーで参加しました。日本人参加グループは私たちだけでしたが、ガイドさんは日本語も堪能で、ポイントごとに日本語で説明してくれて安心しました。
用意してくれた夕食（有名店のサンドイッチ）がとても美味しくて、山頂での夕日を眺めながら食べた味は一生忘れません。
富士山よりも高い場所へ車で連れて行ってくれる体験は、ここでしか味わえないとても貴重なものだと思います。
星空観測もこのツアー限定のかなり標高の高い場所で見せてもらえました。用意してくれた暖かいココアをいただきながら、日本からはなかなか見られない「南十字星」を見つけて大はしゃぎしました。

I felt安心 (safe) participating with a guide who could speak Japanese. I joined the tour on the day a volcano erupted, so I was able to take photos of the volcano from the summit. The oxygen was quite thin at the top, and I felt a bit dizzy, haha. I thought it might be good to have a little more caution, but no one in our tour experienced any health issues. The journey and the scenery along the way were also very enjoyable.

日本語を話せるガイドさんで安心して参加できました。
ちょうど火山が噴火した日に参加したので山頂からボルケーノを写真に残すことができました。
山頂はかなり酸素が薄く結構フラフラしました笑
もう少し注意喚起をしたほうがいいのでは？とも思いましたが、我々のツアーでは体調不良者は1人も出ませんでした。
道中の道のりや風景もとても楽しかったです。

Diamond Head had great weather and the views were fantastic. Our guide, Jonathan, explained everything in detail and made it enjoyable. After Diamond Head, since it was just our group, we were able to stop by the shops we wanted to visit, take photos, and he was flexible with the timing. It was a fulfilling day.

ダイアモンドヘッドはお天気も良く、景色がとても良かったです、ガイドのジョナサンが、詳しく、ポイントを丁寧に説明してくれて、楽しかったです。ダイアモンドヘッドの後は、私達のグループだけだったので、行きたかったお店に、寄っていただいたり、
写真を撮ってくださり、時間も柔軟に対応していただき、充実した1日でした。

Going to the summit of Mauna Kea is an incredible experience. It felt like being on Mars and seeing the clouds below you and the sunset felt surreal. We were also lucky enough to see the glow of the lava from the volcano from there. Hawaiian Eyes Tour with Chris was a seamless experience. Chris gave lots of interesting information about the area and took a lot of care with our safety. I highly recommend this experience; it’s well worth the cost!

We happened to be the only participants that day, so my wife and I were able to enjoy the wonderful sunset and the starry sky from the summit of Haleakalā in a private-like setting. We also learned some fun techniques for capturing the night sky with an iPhone.

たまたま当日他の参加者なく我々夫婦のみでハレアカラ山頂からの素晴らしい夕陽と満天の星をプライベートプレイスのようなポジションで楽しむことができました。iPhoneでの星空撮影など楽しいテクニックも教えてもらいました。

I saw the most amazing sunset of my life at the summit of Mauna Kea! Our guide, James, was very considerate of us, even though we didn't understand much English, and it made for a wonderful trip!

マウナケア山頂で人生で一番素晴らしい夕日を見ました！
ガイドのJamesさんは英語があまりわからない私たちも気にかけてくれてとても良い旅になりました！

I will participate in the Mauna Kea Sunrise Tour guided by Sho-chan. I will definitely return to the Big Island next year or the year after.

ショウちゃんのガイドで、マウナケア　サンライズ　ツアーに、参加します。
来年又は再来年、絶対にハワイ島に帰ってきます。

The whole trip from the pick up to the summit was amazing. Our tour guide James was awesome and very informative. Highly recommend making this trip when you are on the island!

There are quite a few ups and downs, and especially the downhill sections can be slippery, so be careful. However, you can work up a nice sweat. The descent is more challenging than Diamond Head due to the steep incline.

結構、UPDOWNがあり、特に下りは滑りやすいので要注意ですが
気持ちの良い汗をかけます。
ダイヤモンドヘッドよりも急こう配なので下りは大変です。

The 5:00 AM pickup made it easy to reach the trail before the crowds and heat, and the sunrise views from the summit were absolutely worth the early wake-up with rewarding panoramic views of Waikiki and the coastline at the top.

The Mauna Kea Stargazing Tour with Epic Tours was an unforgettable experience and one of the most memorable nights of our Hawaii trip. The set up telescopes and explanation of everything was an engaging and easy-to-understand way of seeing Mauna Kea

The scenery was just breathtaking, with views of the mountains and valleys used in many films. As well, our guide was friendly sharing interesting facts about the ranch and movie history along the way.

The trails had a mix of mud, dirt, and open viewpoints, and of course dinosaurs which made the ride even more fun and adventurous.

I wasn't expecting much due to some clouds, but the sea of clouds at the summit was absolutely stunning! Also, the sunset was very beautiful, and as I watched, the starry sky gradually became clearer, allowing me to see a full sky of stars in the end!

You can take a lot of photos, so definitely capture various landscapes and moments!

若干の曇り模様であまり期待していなかったのですが、その分山頂の雲海は絶景でした！
また、夕日もとても綺麗に見え、星空も見ているうちに少しずつ貼れていき、最後には一面の星空を見ることができました！

たくさんの写真を撮ってもらえるので、是非いろんな景色と写真を撮ってください！

Since it was my first experience piloting a Cessna, I was a bit nervous at first, but thanks to the pilot's careful instruction, I was able to try various things. I will definitely participate again the next time I go to Hawaii!

初めてのセスナ操縦体験ですから、最初の頃は緊急してましたが
パイロットさんが丁寧に教えていただいたおかげで、色々体験することができました
次回ハワイに行く時また参加します！

I had always wanted to visit Mauna Kea when I went to the Big Island of Hawaii, and I participated alone.

The weather was clear, and I was moved by the sunset and the starry sky from a place higher than Mount Fuji. Unfortunately, it was a full moon, so I want to try again during a new moon next time.

The tour was primarily in English, but our guide, Wes, was fluent in Japanese and very friendly, which made it a lot of fun.

Thank you very much!

ハワイ島に行ったら行きたい！と思っていたマウナケア。1人で参加しました。

天気も快晴で、富士山よりも高い場所からのサンセット、星空に感動。あいにく満月だったので、次回は新月の時にリベンジしたいです。

ツアーは基本英語でしたが、ガイドのウェスさんは日本語達者&気さくな方で、とても楽しめました。

ありがとうございました！

Unfortunately, due to the rain followed by clouds, we couldn't see the starry sky at all, and we only caught a glimpse of the sunset from the mountain peak. There's nothing we can do about it.

One thing that caught my attention was that the voucher mentioned to give about 10% of the total cost as a tip to the guide, but after the tour, the American guests just left without tipping. It felt like I was the fool for following the voucher's instructions.

In fact, during the trekking tour at Kilauea Volcano National Park, the American guests also did not tip (I did, though). To prevent other customers from Japan from feeling foolish, I wish they would stop including tipping instructions on the voucher. It feels like being deceived.

運悪く雨のち曇りだったため、星空は全く見えず、辛うじて山頂の夕日ぐらいでした。仕方が無い。
気になったこととしてバウチャーには、全体費用の10%ぐらいをチップとしてガイドさんに渡せと書いていましたが、ツアーが終わるとアメリカ人の方は何食わぬ顔でそのまま行ってしまった。バウチャー通りにチップを渡したこちらがバカを見た感じでした。
実際、キラウエア火山国立公園のトレッキングツアーでも、アメリカ人のお客様はチップを渡しませんでした。(僕は渡したが)
日本から来るほかのお客様がバカを見ないためにも、もうバウチャーにチップどうこう書くのを辞めてもらいたい。騙されている気分。

The explanation was easy to understand, and I learned a lot. I would like to use this service again next time. They provided warm winter clothing, and I enjoyed hot cocoa while stargazing. It was very comforting.

わかりやすい説明、いろいろ教えてもらいました。また、次回利用したいです。暖かい防寒着上下あって、後、星空観測の時ホットココアいただきました。あったまりました。

It was a valuable experience that I usually can't have. I was able to take photos at various spots, which made for great memories. The shuttle bus was also comfortable, allowing me to sit back and relax.

普段できない貴重な体験でした。
色々なスポットで写真も撮ってもらえていい記念になりました。
送迎のバスもゆったりと座れて快適でした。
