All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

The sunset visible from the summit was breathtaking and truly memorable. As for the starry sky, while it was beautiful, we may have had slightly higher expectations. The guide primarily spoke in English but occasionally mixed in some Japanese, making an effort to entertain all participants.

山頂から見える夕陽は絶景で、非常に記憶に残るものとなりました。
ただ星空に関しては、もちろん綺麗ではあったのですが、少しこちら側が期待しすぎてしまった感はありました。
ガイドは英語メインでしたが、時折日本語も混ぜてくれて、参加者全員を楽しませようとしてくれました。

I was able to fully enjoy the scenery while riding a horse along Kohala Coast. Although it's in English, they teach you how to ride carefully, so beginners and young children can also have fun. I would like to use this service again when I come back next time.

コハラコーストを馬に乗りながら、存分に景色を楽しめました。
英語ではありますが、丁寧に乗り方を教えてくれるので、初心者や幼い子供たちも楽しめます。
また次に来たときも利用したいです。

We participated as a group of six, including family members. The children, who are university and high school students, are all above middle school age and can ride a bicycle normally. Although we had no experience with mountain biking, we thought it would be fine since it was a beginner course. However, since it was our first time using electric assist, the sensation of acceleration and control felt somewhat different from a regular bicycle, which made us anxious from the start. Just when we thought we managed to start, within five minutes, two of the children were asked to leave, and since we couldn't leave two minors waiting in a foreign land, the parents had no choice but to leave as well. The remaining three of us continued, but ultimately, after about 15 minutes, my middle school son was also asked to leave, and only my husband and the university student completed the course. There was no alternative plan, no partial refunds, and it was a tourist facility that only operates as an experience facility, leaving us just waiting for the other members to finish. We missed the highlights of the movie we wanted to see... and it cost nearly 20,000 yen per person. I hope they recognize that the fee is a reflection of the service provided. It's disappointing that they think presenting a cancellation policy will alleviate complaints. The participation criteria are low, yet the riding standards they require are high.

親族を含めた６人で参加しました。子供達は大学生、高校生を含めた中学生以上で、普通に自転車は乗れるので参加しました。マウンテンバイクは未経験でしたが、初心者のコースだったので大丈夫だと思いましたが、電動アシストが初めてということもあり、途中で加速する感覚や普通の自転車とコントロールがやや違うので、最初の練習から不安でした。なんとかスタートしたと思いきや、その５分も経たないうちに子供2人が退場宣告を受け、異国の地で未成年を2人で待機させる事ができず、親も退場せざるしかなく、残り3人で進んで行きましたが、結局その15分程で、中学生の息子も退場させられ、主人と大学生だけが完走しました。代替えプランなし、一部でも返金なし、体験施設のみで成り立ってる観光施設で、ただ、他のメンバーの終わりを待つのみ。見たかった映画の見所を見れず…それで１人2万円近く。
料金はサービスに対する対価であることを認識して欲しいです。キャンセルポリシーを提示しておけば、コンプレを押さえれると思ってること事が残念すぎます。参加基準が低い割に、求める乗車基準が高いです。

The weather was clear and perfect for horseback riding on the day of the experience. I had tried horseback riding a few times in Japan, but this was my first long ride, and it was an incredibly enjoyable experience. It seems there has been a lot of rain recently, and due to some paths being washed out, the 2-hour plan was shortened to 1.5 hours, but it was still more than enough of an experience. They also offered a refund for the shortened time. Since I was at the upper limit of the weight for riding, I was a bit anxious during the weighing process, but I was assigned the largest horse, so I was able to enjoy the experience without any issues.

当日は快晴で絶好の乗馬日和でした。
日本で体験乗馬は何回かしていたのですが、長時間の乗馬は初めてで非常に楽しい体験。
最近雨が多いらしく、一部道が崩れていることで2時間プランが1.5時間になりましたが、十分過ぎる体験でした。
短くなった分は返金対応をしてくださっています。
私が体格が大きく乗馬できるギリギリの体重だったので、軽量の時はヒヤヒヤしましたが、一番大きいお馬さんを割り当てていただいたので、問題なく体験できました。

Celebrated birthday on this thrilling trail with stunning views, cant complain!!

As older folks we were nervous about elevation, but this tour makes sure your comfortable and taken care of.

Chilly at the top, so make sure to dress warmly! Besides that the views are to die for!

Most unique and memorable experiences we had during our time on Kauai! From start to finish

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。
