All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

It was a blast, felt like a well oiled operation. Highly recommend the picture package the free fall goes by so fast that you’d want to have the pictures / videos to remember your experience.

Having zip lined before, I highly recommend this tour. The transportation to the ranch and a well organized. At the ranch we drove with Stone who gave us a tour of the ranch on the way to the zip line base camp, pointing out filming sites, was a nice add on that I didn’t expect. The zip lining itself was with JT, Ethan, and Aiden and the guys were awesome, specially JT, made us all feel at ease, cracking jokes and making the atmosphere fun, relaxing everyone. Safety is top notch and Ethan and Aiden were awesome helping everyone land at the platforms safely. The little handrail bar that you can hold onto as you zip make it great for a first time experience and the zip lines are also organized in a way that it starts easy and gets more fun, which is a lot better than other zip lines I did that start with the big one right off the bat and then you just get small ones at the end. The overall tour is a couple of hours and lots of fun from beginning to end, can’t recommend enough. And and JT I’m only mentioning you 3 times, if you just landed the shot it would be 6 ;)

Mathew the Shuttle driver was great, provided us with lots of information and recommendations.

We seniors received hands-on support and were able to enjoy the experience without any injuries. It was my first time, and the first step was scary, but once I took it, it was exhilarating. I was able to enjoy the zip line against the backdrop of the majestic mountains and the beauty of the sea.

Unfortunately, I couldn't communicate well with the instructor and other participants, but we managed to have fun using simple gestures and a few words.

I highly recommend everyone to give it a try!

シニアの我々も手取り足取りサポートをしていただき怪我もなく楽しく回ることができました。初めての経験で、最初の1歩は怖かったけど踏み出してしまえば爽快でした。壮大な山の自然、海の自然をバックにジップラインが堪能できました。
残念ながらインストラクタ及び参加者の方とのコミュニケーションがとれず、しかし片言の身振り手振り単語で意思疎通を図り楽しく回れました。
是非皆さんも参加してみてはいかがでしょうか！！

While gently swaying on the horse, I occasionally stretched my legs. Along the way, I passed through herds of goats and cows, fully enjoying the great outdoors. On that day, it rained quite a bit, which I regret a little.

馬にゆっくり揺られながら、時々ホゾを伸ばして。

大自然を満喫しました。
当日、けっこうな雨で、それだけが少し悔やまれます。

Shawn is super polite and well educated in many topics regarding the lava, plant life, history and sites on the islands. He was particularly helpful in suggesting to us to change the itinerary so we could see the active eruption and we are so happy he made the suggestion. 100% well worth the private tour. We changed things up and kinda called audibles throughout the day and Shawn was all about it. We had a great dinner and the day was a total success. Thank you.

On the day of the tour, although we were unable to visit Manoa Falls due to local circumstances, the tour company took us to Waimea Canyon as an alternative, which turned out to be a fun experience in a different way! The tour guide was very cheerful and fluent in Japanese, making it a great optional tour. Thank you very much!

当日は現地の都合でマノアの滝は入場不可だったものの、ツアー会社の代案でワイメア渓谷に連れていって頂き違う意味で楽しい体験が出来ました！ツアーガイドさんも超明るくて日本語も堪能できて良いオプショナルツアーとなりました。ありがとうございましたm(__)m

The excitement of taking off from Daniel K. Inouye International Airport on my own was exceptional! The view from above was of otherworldly beauty, and I was able to witness the unique features of the volcanic terrain; everything was wonderful.

It was an experience that is rarely possible in Japan, and I had a truly unique and precious experience. I requested a Japanese pilot, and the explanations from the pilot were easy to understand, and the conversation was entertaining (we had a great time with local talk, haha), and above all, I felt a sense of security.

I will definitely participate again when I visit Hawaii. I think I might become addicted to it.

The stories from the owner couple who came to pick us up were also very interesting, and I could really feel their love for airplanes, which made my own feelings about flying grow even stronger.

Everything was fantastic! Thank you so much!

あのダニエルKイノウエ空港から自分の操縦で飛び立てる興奮は格別です！
上空から見る景色は異次元の美しさで、火山でできた地形の特徴を目の当たりにすることができ、すべてが素晴らしかったです。
日本ではめったにできない体験で、唯一無二の貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
日本人パイロット指定で申し込みをさせていただきましたが、パイロットの方の説明がわかりやすく、トークも面白く（地元トークでもりあがりました　笑）、何より安心感がありました。
是非、またハワイを訪れた時には、参加させていただきます。病みつきになりそうです。

送迎に来てくださったオーナー夫妻のお話もとても興味深く、本当に飛行機を愛されているのだなと思いましたし、その気持ちが伝わりこちらまで飛行機に対する思いが一層膨らんだ気がします。

すべてが最高でした！本当にありがとうございました！

Upon arriving at Kualoa Ranch, we were guided on where to wait inside the bus. They also spoke in Japanese. On that day, there were Japanese staff members present at the facility, and they gathered only the Japanese guests to provide detailed explanations about the locations of the restrooms and lockers. The scenery while riding the horses was breathtaking and became a wonderful memory.

クアロアランチに到着すると、バスの中でどこで待機するか案内されます。日本語も話してくれました。当日は施設に日本人スタッフが在中していた日で、日本人だけ集められ、お手洗いやロッカーの場所など丁寧に説明がありました。馬に乗りながら観る景色は圧巻でいい思い出になりました。

It was a wonderful tour.
My spouse and I participated in the tour. Since we were at an altitude of about 4200 meters, we were worried about the thin air and cold, but our guide was always attentive to our condition. We enjoyed the most beautiful sunset in the world and the starry night sky, which sparkled differently from the plains.
We received a lot of explanations about various constellations and information about the Big Island, making it a highly satisfying tour.

とても素晴らしいツアーでした。
夫婦でツアーに参加しました。標高約4200mの山頂ですので空気の薄さと寒さが心配でしたが、ガイドの方から常に体調を気遣っていただき、この世で一番ビューティフルなサンセットと平地での輝きと全然違う夜空に輝く満点の星を満喫しました。
色々な星座の解説やハワイ島の事もたくさん説明していただけて、非常に満足度の高いツアーでした。

This time in Oahu, we decided to take on an active adventure by riding four-wheel buggies at Kualoa Ranch. It seemed like there were mostly younger people, as we didn't see anyone in their 60s like us, but my husband, who loves driving, was very satisfied. The weather was great, and the scenery was really beautiful. Just be careful as you might get covered in dust, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and definitely using a locker for your bag.

今回のオアフはアクティブに挑もうということでクアロアランチの四輪バギーに乗ることにしました。若い方たちが多いようで、私たちのような60代は見かけませんでしたが、運転好きの主人は大満足でした。天候にも恵まれ景色も大変良かったです。ただ砂ぼこりをかぶってしまうので注意書きどおり汚れてもよい服装と、カバンは必ずロッカーを利用することをおすすめします。

First, the Japanese woman who explained the tickets right after we got off the shuttle bus was very kind, and I felt reassured from the check-in for the experience until we got on the bus back!

However, as she mentioned, there were no Japanese speakers after the check-in, so we had to rely on understanding English, which was quite challenging (laughs). By the way, my husband and I don't speak any English at all 🤣. There were videos in Japanese about the precautions for riding the buggy, so that was fine, but when we stopped at the photo spots, the explanations were all in English, so we managed to understand using Google Translate's speaker.

My husband, who is used to driving, and I, who usually don't drive, took on the challenge, but it was quite a long ride, and driving on the bumpy mountain roads in an unfamiliar buggy was exhausting even for my husband, who drives regularly (laughs). I couldn't enjoy the scenery unless it was on a straight road, and since we didn't stop at the photo spots, I couldn't switch places with my husband, which was tough for me 😭💦.

But the scenery was truly overwhelming, and I'm really glad we went!

まず送迎バスから降りてすぐチケットの説明などしてくれる日本人の女性の方はとっても親切で、体験のチェックインから帰りのバスに乗るまで安心できました！

ただその方も言ってましたが、体験のチェックインしたあとは日本語を話せる人はいないので、英語を聞き取るしかなかったのが大変でした（笑）
ちなみに我々夫婦は全く英語ができません🤣
バギーに乗る注意点などの映像は日本語のものがあり、そこは大丈夫でしたが、バギーに乗って写真スポットに止まったときその場所の説明などしてくれますが、全部英語なのでGoogle翻訳のスピーカーとかを使ってなんとか聞き取りました。笑

ただ運転に慣れた夫と普段な運転しない私で挑みましたが、結構長い間走りますし、ガタガタの山道を慣れないバギーで走るので、普段運転してる夫でもクタクタになってました（笑）
私はまっすぐな道でなければ景色どころではなかったし、写真スポットまで止まってくれないので夫に変わることもできず大変でした😭💦

だけど景色は本当に圧倒的で行って本当に良かったと思ってます！

We participated as a couple in mid-February. The schedule was manageable, and the guide's hospitality was wonderful. It was so cold at the summit that there was still snow, but they provided warm clothing for free, allowing us to have a comfortable time. Unfortunately, the weather and timing were disappointing. The clouds were thick all day, and we couldn't see the sunset on the horizon. Additionally, since it was a full moon period, it turned out to be more about moon viewing than stargazing, which was unexpected due to a lack of prior research.

2月中旬に夫婦で参加しました。
日程に無理がなく、ガイドさんのホスピタリティが素晴らしく、山頂は雪が残るほど寒かったのですが防寒着も無料で貸してくださり、快適な時間を過ごすことができました。
残念だったのは、天候と時期。この日はずっと雲が立ち込めていて、地平線に夕陽が沈む姿は拝めませんでした。
また、満月の時期だったため、天体観測というより月見になったことも、事前調査不足による想定外でした。

I couldn't have a conversation since everything was in English, but I was moved by the wonderful scenery! After it was over, my face was completely black, and we all had a great laugh. Every time I see the photos, I can't help but laugh. It was so much fun. I want to go again!

全て英語だった為、会話はできませんでしたが、素晴らしい景色に感動しました！
終わってから顔が真っ黒で、皆で大笑いしました。写真を見るたび、笑ってしまいます。とても楽しかったです。また行きたいです。

I participated with four friends. It was everyone's first time riding a buggy, and we enjoyed breathtaking views that we had never seen in Japan. The staff entertained us with photos and performances, which left us with wonderful memories. However, it wasn't as rugged as I had imagined, and since we were driving in a line as a group, most of us were asleep in the back during the second half.

友人4人で参加しました。全員バギーに乗るのが初めてだったし、日本で見たことのない絶景を楽しみました
そしてスタッフが写真やパフォーマンスで楽しませてくれたのが楽しい記憶として残っています
ただ想像していたほど荒地ではなく集団での縦列走行なので後半は運転者以外寝ていました

They came to pick me up earlier than scheduled. After signing some documents, we moved to a few other pickup locations and then headed to Diamond Head. Once everyone gathered, the guide started. I only understood about half of what was said, but it seemed like most of it was jokes. Everyone except me seemed to be native English speakers. However, it was no problem at all if you couldn't speak. The entrance fee and reservation for Diamond Head were handled by Veltra, so you can get in without doing anything. I was dropped off at the entrance of Diamond Head around 8:40, received a bottle of water, and was told to be back by 10:30.

The hike to Diamond Head takes about 30 to 40 minutes one way. There are many bumpy areas and stairs, so I recommend wearing sneakers. It can be quite windy and relatively cold at the top, so having a light jacket might be a good idea.

After coming down, I relaxed on a bench and looked at souvenirs. I was a bit anxious when the return pickup didn't arrive on time, but I thought, "This is America, so it’s probably normal." You also receive water on the way back, which you can decline if you don't want it. The drop-off location can be either the pickup spot or your hotel if it's nearby.

I gave a $10 bill as a tip, which seemed to be the average amount based on what I saw from other participants. I joined as a solo male traveler, but I wasn't singled out or anything; it was a straightforward and nice tour. If you can understand some English, this option is cheaper than a Japanese guide with tips included, so I think it's sufficient. For those who can use Lealea, it's easy to go that way. If you take The Bus, you get dropped off in front of the tunnel, so there's quite a bit of walking, but it's cheaper.

予定の時間よりも早く迎えに来てくれました。書類にサインして、他のピックアップ場所へ何箇所か移動して、ダイヤモンドヘッドへ。全員集合すると、ガイドが始まります。半分くらいしかわかりませんでしたが、ジョークが大半だったような気がします。私以外は英語ネイティブっぽかったです。でも喋れなくても全く問題なしです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの入場料や予約はベルトラがしてくれますので、何もしなくても入れます。8:40くらいにダイヤモンドヘッドの入り口で降ろされて、お水渡されて、帰りは10:30にココ！と言われました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドへのハイキングは片道だいたい30〜40分くらい。ガタガタのところや階段も多いので、スニーカーをおすすめします。上の方は風がとても強くて、割と寒いので、薄い上着あるといいかもしれないです。
降りてきてからは、ベンチに座ってのんびりしたり、お土産みたりしていました。
帰りは時間通りに迎えが来ず、少し不安でしたが、アメリカなのでそんなもんだろうと。
帰りも水を渡されます。要らなければ断れます。降ろす場所はピックアップ場所か、泊まってるホテルが近ければ送ってくれます。
チップは余っていた10ドル札を渡しました。他の参加者を見ててもそのくらいが平均かなと思います。
男1人で参加でしたが、特にいじられることもなく、さっぱりしていて、いいツアーだと思いました。
多少英語が聞き取れれば、日本語ガイドチップ入りよりも安いので、こちらで十分だと思います。
レアレア利用できる人はそれで行くのが楽です。ザ・バスで行くと、トンネルの前で降りるので割と歩きますが、安いです。

Our guide Ryan was off the hook amazing. His passion for his job showed through. Our journey into the back country of Hawaii was exciting and informative. You’re going to get dirty and it’s worth it. If you only come to Hawaii once in your life make sure you take this tour!!!!

It was a fun time employers were nice and very experienced

I participated in a buggy tour! We stopped at about 3-4 highlights where the guide provided explanations, but since the guide spoke only in English, I had to pick up the nuances. (laughs) They were very proactive about taking photos and shared stories with humor, creating a really nice atmosphere for the tour.

As for the buggy ride, I wondered if it was really necessary to do it in Hawaii. There were also horseback riders enjoying the vast nature, and I thought that might have been more fun... so I felt a bit of regret.

However, it’s definitely worth going at least once to see the filming locations and enjoy the stunning scenery of Kualoa.

バギーのツアーに参加しました！
3.4箇所の見どころで降車して説明して下さいますが、ガイドさんが英語オンリーなので言ってることはニュアンスで感じとります。笑
写真撮影も積極的に行ってくださり、またユーモアも交えながらお話ししてくれるのでとっても良い雰囲気のツアーでした。

バギーについては、わざわざハワイでしなくても良かったかな？と思いました。乗馬の方々もいましたが、広大な自然の中で乗馬されていて、そっちの方が楽しそうだったかな...とちょっと後悔。

ただ映画のロケ地などを見れるのと、クアロア自体景色が素晴らしいので一度は行く価値有ると思います。

This tour was mind blowing especially because of tour guide Felix! He showed us all the best spots and gave so much interesting history and facts without making you want to fall asleep LOL. First time in Hawaii and I’m so grateful to have been on this excursion! Amazing food, views and so much more. Thank you wasabi tours and even bigger thank you to Felix!! ❤️❤️

I joined my son in the cockpit. The captain kindly taught us how to operate the controls. We enjoyed the breathtaking views of Hawaii from the back, making it a valuable 60-minute flight. The female staff member was very friendly and took many photos for us. The conversation with our driver, Ryoji, was also very interesting, and the transfer time flew by.

息子の操縦に同乗しました。
機長さんが、操縦の仕方を丁寧に教えて下さいました。
後方からハワイの絶景を楽しむことができ、貴重な60分のフライトでした。
スタッフの女性もとても親切で、写真を沢山撮って頂きました。
送迎のりょうじさんのお話もとても興味深く、送迎時間があっという間でした。

The scenery was beautiful. The guide was awesome. I highly recommend this.

I used to fly with another company. Since that company is no longer in operation, this was my first time being taken care of here! It was a very enjoyable and fulfilling flight. The kind support and communication via LINE up until the last minute made me feel at ease. I would like to request your services again next time. Thank you very much! ✨

以前は別の会社で飛んでいました。
その会社がなくなったので、
今回初めてこちらでお世話になりました！
とても楽しい充実したフライトになりました。
とても親切なご対応や直前までLINEでやりとりなど安心出来ました。
また次回以降もお願いしたいと思っています。
ありがとうございました✨

You can have plenty of fun without driving, but I was encouraged by my husband to give it a try at the end, and it was so much fun! I recommend driving for those who have a license!!! (Don't forget that you can't drive without a driver's license.) The guide was very kind and funny. There were several photo spots, and the guide provided explanations, but everything was in English, so please be aware of that. Getting completely covered in sand is also a great memory! I want to go again!

運転しなくても十分に楽しめますが、
旦那に勧められて最後運転してみたら
とっても楽しかったので免許ある方は運転をお勧めします！！！（免許証ないと運転できないので忘れないように）
ガイドさんはとても優しく面白い人でした。
所々で撮影ポイントがあり、ガイドさんが説明をしてくださるのですが全て英語なので注意してください。全身砂だらけになったのもいい思い出です！！また行きたい！！

This is our third trips to Hawaii but is the first time to have a chance to see other beautiful beaches in Oahu in addition to the well known Waikiki beach. The hike in the Diamond Head was manageable but the view from the top was magnificent. With the driver John’s guide, we had the most spectacular experience in Oahu.

The tour guide James was friendly and very kind, always attentive to our health during the hike. He also provided fascinating explanations about constellations and the Mauna Kea telescope. Since it was an English tour, it was great to bond with participants from various regions of the United States throughout the tour.

ツアーガイドのJamesはフレンドリーで、山登り中に体調にも常に気をかけてくれてとても親切でした。また、星座やマウナケアの望遠鏡についても非常に詳しく説明してもらえ面白かったです。英語ツアーということもあり、アメリカの色々な地域から来た参加者同士ともツアーを通してとても仲良くなれて良かったです。

A precious activity where you can experience the Earth itself through your senses, with vast lands, sea of clouds, giant telescopes observing distant stars, and constellations not seen in Japan... In the pre-explanation received via email, it was mentioned that there would be no Japanese guide, but on the day of the experience, perhaps due to good luck, we were the only Japanese participants and received individual guidance in Japanese. The jackets and pants provided by the activity were quite thick, and I felt sufficiently warm even in an environment around 0°C. The sandwiches and hot cocoa we were given were delicious and soothing for a slight headache.

広大な大地や雲海、遠くの星を観測する巨大な望遠鏡や日本では見られない星座...と、日常では味わえない地球そのものを五感で体感できる貴重なアクティビティ。
メールで届いていた事前説明では日本語のガイドはしていないとのことだったが、体験した日は運が良かっのか、私たちしか日本人がいなかったにも関わらず、個別に日本語でガイドしていただけた。
アクティビティ側で用意されているジャケットとパンツはかなり厚手のもので、0℃前後の環境でも十分に暖かく感じた。いただいたサンドイッチやホットココアも、軽めの頭痛を癒やす美味しさだった。

I decided to participate in this activity because I could see the filming locations of Jurassic Park, but I experienced emotions beyond what I had anticipated. Learning about the history of Kualoa Ranch and its conservation efforts from the guide while witnessing Hawaii's great nature made me feel a value that went beyond just being a filming location.

ジュラシック・パークのロケ地を見られるということで参加を決めたアクティビティだったが、予定していたもの以上の感動を味わえた。ガイドによるクアロアランチの歴史や保護活動のことを知った上で見るハワイの大自然は、ロケ地であること以上の価値を感じた。

It was a more interesting experience than I expected. Since I can't go myself, please be sure to participate. You won't regret joining. It's a waste not to come to the Big Island and climb Mauna Kea.

予想以上に面白い体験でした。自分では行けないので、是非参加してください。参加して損はありません。ハワイ島に来て、マウナケアに登らないのはもったいないです。

Despite the unfortunate weather making both the sunset and stargazing seem hopeless, our guide, Yamapi, did not give up and skillfully led us to points of interest, allowing us to witness a wonderful sight. I was truly impressed by his determination!

あいにくの天候でサンセットも星空も絶望的で他社ツアーが下山する中、ガイドのやまぴーさんだけが諦めておらずポイントを紡いでご案内頂き素晴らしい光景を目にすることができました。諦めない姿勢に感嘆です！
