All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

We went horseback riding as a family of three. It was our first time riding in Hawaii, and I was a bit nervous at first, but the local guide was very friendly and kind. We even found some unexpected common interests and hit it off, becoming friends. The long hours of horseback riding were very valuable, as it's not something we can experience much in Japan, so it was a really great experience and we had a lot of fun!

家族3人で乗馬をしました。ハワイでの乗馬は初めてで最初は少し緊張しましたが、現地のガイドの方がとても気さくで優しく、意外な共通点もあったりして、意気投合しお友達になりました。
長時間の乗馬は、とても貴重で日本ではあまり経験出来ないので、とっても良い経験ができて楽しかったです！

I made the reservation based on the recommendation of Mr. Tamura from Bon Voyage Kobe, and thanks to the prior briefing, the sightseeing went smoothly. The local staff's response was a bit lacking as the acceptance situation changed multiple times before we started, but Mr. Tamura from Bon Voyage Kobe coordinated everything, so I was able to start with peace of mind. The helicopter tour without doors was amazing!

ボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸の田村氏に勧められての予約でしたが事前にレクチャーしてくれたこともありスムーズに観光できました。受入れ状態が二転三転してスタートするまでの現地スタッフの対応はイマイチでしたがそこもボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸の田村氏が取りまとめてくれたので安心してスタート出来ました　ドアなしのヘリでの遊覧は最高です

Great course, the waterfall was breathtaking. Overall would do it again!

Gorgeous scenery, the provider has a great route for this excursion! I could dream of these views.

We used our phone flashlights on the way up, it was quite early but still worth it as it is a great way to start the morning.

Our family loved it, as we love the e-bikes to keep the speed up, but get around the park at a good pace!

The Kualoa grounds are breath taking, and the fun added in with the atv was a perfect pair.

A great experience, as they say it is definitely a must do.

You get it all here! It is always nice to get a swim experience more personalized to the tour!!

My wife was worried about the two-hour horseback riding, but she said it was great afterward. It was my first time riding as well, and the staff's support was excellent, making it enjoyable. During the ride, the horse pooped and peed quite dramatically, and we walked among free-range cows, which was an experience you can't have in Japan.

2時間の乗馬を心配していた妻が、乗馬後良かったとの事。小生も初めての乗馬であったが、スタッフのフォローも良く楽しめた。乗馬途中お馬さんがうんこ💩、おしっこを豪快にしたり、放し飼いの牛の間を歩いたりと日本では出来ない経験でした。

My first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii was filled with uncertainties, but it was comfortable. There was a pickup at the hotel and meals included. Considering the cost of living, the price seems reasonable. They accurately took us to several attractions. The highlight was stargazing. The view was truly amazing. It was quite cold, but they provided warm clothing, so you can rest assured about that. English is quite difficult, so a certain level of proficiency is necessary.

初のハワイ島の旅で分からないことだらけでしたが快適でした。ホテルでのピックアップと、お食事付きです。価格は物価を考えれば妥当と思います。いくつかの名所を的確に回ってくれます。ハイライトは星空鑑賞。本当に素晴らしい景色でした。かなり寒いですが防寒具も用意されているのでそこもご安心ください。英語はかなり難しいので、ある程度のごりょくはひつようです。

After arriving from Waikiki, I received explanations about luggage and lockers from the Japanese staff and headed to the reception for each activity. The two-hour horseback riding was very fulfilling, as I could see the ocean and passed very close to a herd of cattle. The gentle ups and downs were quite surprising from atop the horse.

ワイキキから到着後、日本人スタッフの方から手荷物やロッカーなどの説明を受け、各アクティビティの受付に向かいました。2時間の乗馬は海が見えたり、牛の群れのすぐ近くを通ったり、軽いアップダウンも馬の上からだと結構びっくりしたり、とても充実しました。

There were some things I didn't quite understand in English, but they kindly explained everything in an easy-to-understand way, and the activities themselves were enjoyable and memorable. Thank you! 😊

英語でちょっと理解できないこともありますが、親切にわかりやすく話しもして頂き、アクティビティ自体も楽しく心に残ったアクティビティでした。
ありがとうございました😊

Although the clouds and full moon made it difficult to see a beautiful sunset and a starry sky, Yamapi's thoughtfulness and conversation were excellent. I definitely want to try again.

雲が多いのと満月で綺麗な夕日や満天の星空は残念でしたが、ヤマピーさんのお心遣いと会話は最高でした。又是非トライしたいと思います

This was an absolutely amazing experience and I highly recommend! The view is stunning- truly unbelievable. You feel as if you have been transported to another world.

Tips from someone who has been there-
Dress as if you are visiting a frozen tundra. Its cold.

Take someone you love with you so you have a witness to what you are seeing- this helps to ease your mind from thinking its a dream. You will be in disbelief of the awesome beauty.

Listen to a great song while you star gaze- here’s mine.

I enjoyed a 2-hour horseback riding tour with a group of about five Japanese people and a female staff member. The staff was very cheerful and provided advice in simple Japanese. Unfortunately, it rained the entire time, so we couldn't see the magnificent scenery very well. I definitely want to experience it again when I visit Oahu.

5人ほどの日本人だけのグループで、女性スタッフの方と一緒に2時間の乗馬ツアーを楽しみました。スタッフの方はとても明るく、簡単な日本語も交えてアドバイスをしてくれました。残念だったのは2時間ずっと雨天で雄大な景色があまり見えなかったこと。オアフ島に行ったらぜひまた体験に行きたいです。

A packed itinerary with Dole Plantation, horseback riding, and Haleiwa.

The driver was very kind and shared various stories about Hawaii to keep us entertained during the ride.

The horseback riding staff only spoke English, but the driver, who had experience with horses, provided a thorough explanation beforehand, so I was able to enjoy it without any worries.

It was a pleasant time swaying on a smart polo horse while looking at the magnificent ocean of the North Shore.

Haleiwa is larger than I expected, so it might be a good idea to decide in advance where to go.

ドールプランテーション→乗馬→ハレイワと盛りだくさんのコース。

ドライバーさんもとても親切で道中飽きないようにハワイのさまざまなお話をしてくださいました。

乗馬は英語のみのスタッフですが、馬を飼っていたこともあるドライバーさんが事前に丁寧に説明してくださっていたので、不安なく楽しめました。

ノースショアの壮大な海を見ながら賢いポロ経験の馬に揺られて気持ちの良い時間でした。

ハレイワの町は思ったより広いのでどこに行くか事前に決めておくといいかも。

We we on Kauai 7 years ago and the highlight of that visit was the tubing adventure.
We returned this year and doing it again was a no brainer.
From the pre-adventure information meeting, the ride out to the site ( with excellent information from the guide along the way), the other guides that we met at the site were fun and helpful.
Of course the highlight was the run down the canal on the tubs was great fun.
We had a. Great group of people who all added to the fun, chatting, and yelling along the was( especially when we were in the tunnels.
Lunch hit the spot right we we needed it.
I would not hesitate to do this again when we visit again.

I participated with my son and wife. They picked us up at the hotel at 2:20 PM. There were two other Americans from Minnesota joining the tour, making a total of five participants. Our guide, James, explained about the Big Island in a mix of Japanese and English while driving. The area near the summit of Mauna Kea felt like a different world, resembling a desert or the moon, and the sunset view from there was amazing. We could see famous facilities like the Subaru Telescope up close, which made me feel the reality of being on the Big Island. Unfortunately, due to being close to a full moon, we couldn't see the Milky Way well during stargazing, but we were able to use the telescope to view Jupiter and the moon. James was always attentive, which made me feel safe participating.

息子と妻と私の３人で参加しました。ホテルに午後２時２０分に迎えに来てくれました。ツアーには他にミネソタからのアメリカ人２名が参加し合計５名の参加者でした。ガイドのジェームズさんは運転しながら日本語交じりの英語でハワイ島について説明してくれました。マウナケア山頂付近は、砂漠のような月のような（？）別世界で、そこから見るサンセットは素晴らしかったです。有名なすばる望遠鏡などの有名な施設がまじかに見られ、ハワイ島にやってきた実感がわきました。星空観測はあいにく満月に近かったため、天の川はよくわかりませんでしたが望遠鏡を使って木星や月を見ることができました。ガイドのジェームズさんには常に気配りをしていただき、安心して参加できました。

We had a blast exploring the WOH ranch on our ATVs. Be prepared to get covered in dust but the amazing views make it worth it! Our guides were amazing - making sure the whole group was comfortable and having fun. They shared info about the ranch as well as the island. In addition to being great tour guides they had a lot of great suggestions for places to eat and things to see while on the big island.

Waking up early was tough, but it was definitely worth it! At Diamond Head, they lend you hand lights, so you don't need to bring anything. The view from the top was amazing! I also got to see many beautiful sights at the beach and in nature. Jonah shared the scenery, delicious restaurants, and information about Hawaii while driving, making the journey very enjoyable. Haleiwa Town on the North Shore was a great place for shopping at famous stores like Patagonia and enjoying acai bowls, which left me very satisfied! The nuts from the macadamia nut farm were delicious, and before I knew it, I had bought a lot of souvenirs (laughs). At the coffee farm I was aiming for, there were so many coffee beans to choose from that time flew by!

I highly recommend joining the tour for anyone who is considering it!

朝早くから大変ですが早起きしたかいがありました！
ダイヤモンドヘッドではハンドライトも貸してもらえるため必要なものは何もありません。
頂上からの景色は最高でした！
そのほかにもビーチや自然のなかで素敵な景色をたくさん見られました。
ジョナさんが運転中にも見える景色や美味しいお店、ハワイのことを紹介してくれる為、移動中もとても楽しめました。
ノースショアのハレイワタウンはpatagoniaなどの有名店でのショッピングやアサイーボウルも食べられ、大満足でした！
マカダミアナッツ農園のナッツもおいしく、気づけばお土産をたくさん買っていました(笑)
お目当てのコーヒー農園では、たくさんのコーヒー豆があり、よりどりみどりで時間が過ぎるのがあっという間でした！

ツアーに参加するか迷っている人はぜひ参加をオススメします！

Our family of three had an amazing time tubing through the irrigation canals. Our guide, Griffin, shared so much Hawaiian history and language, on our rainy trip to the drop off area. Kody explained the safety instructions in a simple and fun way that started off our adventure. All three guides were laid back and enjoyable. We had an amazing time and look forward to doing it again on our next trip to Kauai.

Everyone was very friendly, and we easily overcame the language barrier! The transportation with pick-up service was reassuring. The scenery was incredibly beautiful and it was the best!

とてもフレンドリーで言語の壁もなんなく乗り越えられました！
送迎付きで交通手段は安心。
景色もすごく綺麗で最高でした！

2hour Raptor tour, great experience for our group

I enjoyed the speed of the buggy, felt the Hawaiian breeze, and fully experienced the mountains, ocean, and nature. It was also fun to see the filming locations. The instructor was great at boosting the mood. The shuttle bus was comfortable, too, as it was a Mercedes-Benz.

バギーのスピード感、ハワイの風を感じて、山、海と大自然を満喫できました。
ロケ地を見るのも楽しかったです。
インストラクターも盛り上げてくれて気分が上がります。
送迎バスもベンツで快適でした。

Driving the buggy was easy, and we were able to explore all areas! During the tour, all explanations were in English, but there was no problem since we were shown a Japanese video with precautions for riding the buggy beforehand! The staff were friendly and engaged with us a lot, which made it enjoyable!

バギーの運転も簡単で、全てのエリアを周ることができました！
ツアー中は全て英語での説明ですが、事前にあったバギーを乗る際の注意事項は日本語のビデオを見せていただけたので問題なかったです！
スタッフの方も気さくで、楽しめるようにたくさん話しかけてくださってよかったです！

This time, I took a 2-hour horseback riding course. We went around places like Jurassic Park. It was a sensation that you can't experience on a bus or in a buggy.

今回は、乗馬2時間コースでした。ジュラシックパーク等回りました。バス、バギーでは味わえない感覚でした。

It was a wonderful experience to see such magnificent scenery, which you can't find in Japan, from horseback! Since I don't usually exercise, I was worried that two hours might be too long and that my legs would hurt and affect my plans afterward. However, thanks to the stunning views, the well-behaved horses, and the kind instructor, the two hours flew by. I also appreciated that on the day we participated, the pick-up plan included a Japanese staff member who summarized the check-in and explanation for us!

日本では見られないような壮大な景色を、馬上から見るという素晴らしい体験でした！
普段運動をしていないため、2時間は長いかな？足腰が痛くその後の予定に響くかな？と心配していましたが、素晴らしい景色とお利口なお馬さん、優しいインストラクターさんのおかげで、あっという間の2時間でした。
私たちが参加した日の送迎付きプランでは、チェックインと説明を日本語係員の方がまとめてしてくれたのも有り難かったです！

This kayaking and hiking adventure was so awesome! I was worried the kayaking and hike might be difficult but it was perfect! I’ve never been kayaking before and this was a great intro for me! The hike was absolutely beautiful as well and mostly on a board walk which is nice so you’re not having to climb through or slip in the mud. The waterfall was a tad dried up but still so
beautiful and fun to swim to. Our guide Jeff was awesome as well. Very kind and friendly and knowledgeable about Kauai. I would HIGHLY recommend the is excursion and would love to do it again!

I chose a tour with transportation included. Everyone around spoke English, but it was manageable. When we arrived, there was a Japanese guide who explained the flow of the tour to some extent. The tour itself was in English, but the video explaining how to ride and safety precautions was in Japanese. It was fun to drive through nature and see a bit of the movie set! I got quite tired. There seems to be another tour that focuses solely on the movie set, which allows for more in-depth viewing and photo opportunities. My tour only passed by the set, but even just catching a glimpse was nice! Those driving the buggies might find it hard to see the scenery?! It seemed that long pants were required for the buggies, but I forgot to wear them on the day... However, many people from countries other than Japan were wearing shorts. Japanese people are serious. Haha. But, since I ended up covered in sand and dust, those who don't want to get dirty might want to cover up. They lend you helmets and goggles, but those goggles felt unreliable. People with hard contact lenses might struggle.

送迎ありツアーにしました。周りは英語だけど、なんとかなります。着いたら日本人のガイドがいてある程度流れを説明してくれます。ツアー自体は英語なのですが乗り方や注意事項の説明のビデオは日本語でした。自然のなかを走ったり少しだけ映画の跡地をみたり、楽しかったです！結構疲れました。他に映画の跡地だけを巡るツアーもあるようでそれはもっとじっくり見たり写真を撮ったりしてました。私のツアーは軽く横を通ったりするぐらいでしたがちらっと見れただけでもよかった！バギー運転してる人は景色見づらいかも？！バギーは長ズボン必須だったようですが当日着ていくのを忘れました、、。ですが日本人以外の国の人は半ズボン多かったです。日本人真面目。笑　だけど、、結構全身砂ホコリまみれになったのであまり汚れたくない人はカバーした方がいいかも。ヘルメットとゴーグルも貸してくれますがそのゴーグルが心許ない。ハードコンタクトの人は死にます。
