All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I had always wanted to visit Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii. I participated with my parents and my two children, aged 8 and 10. We chose a plan that included transportation, and since we stayed at the Embassy, we were picked up at the Sheraton. At that point, there was a guide who spoke Japanese, so it was reassuring even though we couldn't speak English. They also showed us a video in Japanese with important information before the experience.

We followed behind another guide on buggies, keeping about two buggies' distance. We stopped about three times along the way for explanations about the locations and to take photos. Everything during those stops was in English, so I thought it would have been even more enjoyable if I understood English ( ; ; ).

I was a bit worried that my children might be scared of the buggies, but they were completely fine. The thrill of the bumpy roads and climbing hills excited them, and they were captivated by the stunning views of Kualoa. It was a memorable two hours.

ハワイで一度は行きたかったクアロアランチ。父母、8歳と10歳の子どもの4人で参加しました。
送迎付きプラン、エンバシー宿泊だったのでシェラトンでピックアップしてもらいました。その時点で日本語を話せるガイドさんがいるので、英語が話せなくても安心です。体験前の注意事項も、日本語のビデオを見せてくれます。
バギーは別のガイドさんの後ろを2台分くらいあけて付いて行きます。途中3回ほど降りて、その場所の説明や、写真を撮る時間がありました。そのあたりは全て英語なので、英語が分かればもっと楽しかっただろうなと思います（ ; ; ）
子どもがバギーを怖がるかと少し心配していましたが、全くそんなことはありませんでした。凸凹道や坂を登る多少のスリルに子どもたちは大興奮、クアロアの絶景に魅了され、心に残る2時間でした。

The hike up to the light house was epic! Beautiful! Glad we did it. The weather also cooperated so we were blessed with beautiful blue skies. Picture perfect!
Blow hole… wish we could have stayed longer. 10 minutes wasn’t enough to appreciate the sights.

There were few Japanese participants, but the guide was very kind and it was great! The weather was good, and I enjoyed it. When I reached the summit, I felt a bit dizzy, probably due to the lack of oxygen. The cocoa provided during the stargazing was delicious.

日本人参加者が少なかったが、ガイドの方がとても親切で良かった！
天候も良く、楽しめました。
流石に山頂に着くと酸素が少ないせいかフラフラしました。
星空観測の時に提供されたココアが美味しかった。

I had an absolutely amazing experience. The person who flew with me was wonderful, providing explanations in Japanese here and there and easing my nerves with their warm support. Additionally, they took many photos, which was another highlight for me. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sky was truly breathtaking and has become an unforgettable memory for a lifetime.

とても最高な経験をすることができました。一緒に飛んでくださった方がとても素敵な方で、ところどころ説明を日本語でしてくださったり、緊張をほぐしてくださったりと、心温まる対応をしてくださいました。
また、たくさんの写真も撮っていただき、それも大満足のポイントです。空から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの景色は、本当に息をのむほど美しく、一生忘れられない思い出となりました。

What an amazing experience. You will not regret doing this activity. Jeff was our pilot and he came with a lot of experience under his belt. He had so much knowledge about Oahu and his narrating was great. I would definitely do this again 100%.

The tour proceeded as scheduled, allowing us to see the sunset and starry sky at their most beautiful moments, which made for a wonderful experience. Throughout the tour, we also learned about the history and culture, making it very enriching.

サンセットや星空が最も綺麗に見えるタイミングで予定通りにツアーを進めていただき、素晴らしい体験ができました。ツアー中も歴史や文化についてのお話もしていただき、非常に充実した内容でした。

The weather was great, and it was an amazing experience. We rode a buggy with six adults, speeding through the great outdoors. We stopped several times to take photos. The guide was very attentive and made us feel really happy.

とても天気が良く最高の体験でした。
バギーに大人6人乗り込んで大自然の中結構飛ばしながら走りました。
何回か止まって、写真撮影したりしました。
ガイドさんがとてもサービス旺盛でとても楽しい気持ちになりました。

We walked through a jungle-like natural environment to reach the waterfall. It was great that we were able to borrow trekking poles. The weather in March was mild, but I ended up sweating quite a bit. Our Japanese guide, Mei, was a wonderful person. The lunch was also very delicious; my husband had a pastrami sandwich while I enjoyed a vegetable sandwich, all while overlooking the stunning view from Tantalus Hill. It was a very good tour!

ジャングルの様な大自然の中を滝まで歩いて行きます。トレッキング用の杖を貸してもらえたのは良かったです。３月の穏やかなお天気でしたが、結構汗をかきました。日本人ガイドのメイさんがとても素敵な方でした。ランチもとても美味しくタンタラスの丘からの素晴らしい景色を見渡しながら夫はパストラミサンド、私はベジタブルサンドを頂きました。とても良いツアーでした！

We had an amazing time at kualua ranch and did the 2-hr atv drive. Fun and interactive tour guide. Beautiful sceneries. Definitely doing it again. highly recommended this tour.

This was my second visit to Kualoa Ranch. Since my last visit was before COVID-19, I noticed quite a few changes, but both the café and the shop were well-stocked and enjoyable. I only participated in the horseback riding tour, so my stay was short, but I had a great time. The tour was supposed to be two hours, but I was surprised to hear it would only be an hour and a half that day, with a refund offered. However, even with just an hour and a half, the horseback riding was more than enough. The scenery you can enjoy at Kualoa Ranch is unique, so I definitely want to go back.

クアロアランチは2回目の訪問でした。
前回はコロナ前でしたのでいろいろ変わってる感じはありましたが、カフェもショップも充実していてよかったです。
私は乗馬だけのツアーでしたので滞在時間は短かったですが楽しめました。
ツアーは乗馬2時間でしたが、当日1時間半になるので返金があるとの話でびっくりしましたが1時間半でも乗馬だけなので充分でした。
この景色を堪能できるのはクアロアランチならではなので私はまた行きたいなと思います。

At first, I was anxious, but the instructor was kind and taught me well, allowing me to dive into the skies of Hawaii in a fun way. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.

最初不安でしたがインストラクターの方が優しく教えてくれ楽しくハワイの空へダイブ流ことができとてもいい経験になりました。
ありがとうございました。

Driving on the off-road paths was exhilarating! It was great to be able to visit the holy sites of the Jurassic Park tour as well.

オフロードの道を運転できる爽快さが最高でした！ジュラシックパーク、ツアーの聖地も巡れるのがとてもよかった。（全てではないですが）

We had a great time on our 2 hour ATV tour, the trails were easy to maneuver and our guides were fun! Thank you Ava and James!!

This was so awesome and our pilot was so knowledgeable about the whole area, she even circled around the water a couple of times when we spotted a whale in the water, she was also in the navy at one time and had a lot of knowledge about Pearl Harbor. I highly recommend this flight, it is for 1 hour and you see a lot.

It was truly a dream-like day (╹◡╹). It was my first time on Maui, and I received a lot of information and stories not just about Maui but other topics as well. Dining while watching the sunset from the summit was a luxurious experience that only those who have done it can appreciate. The music that played in each situation was a stylish touch typical of Yamapi, and I was so moved by the song that played while gazing at the starry sky that I ended up in tears (^◇^;). The hospitality was incredible. I gained the courage to live my life authentically. If you go to Maui, I absolutely recommend this tour. I hope to visit again in a different season. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

もう〜夢のような1日でした（╹◡╹）
マウイ島は初めてだったのですが、いろいろな情報を教えて下さったり、マウイ島以外のお話なんかもたくさんしてくださいました。
また山頂では、沈んでいく夕日を見ながらの食事は、経験した者にしか味わえない贅沢な気分でした。
シチュエーション毎に流れる音楽の演出はヤマピーさんらしく粋なはからいに脱帽です。
特に星空を眺めている時に流れた曲は、感動して泣いちゃいました(^◇^;)
おもてなしが半端ないです。
これからの人生を自分らしく生きる勇気をいただきました♡
マウイ島に行かれたら、ぜーーーったいオススメのツアーですよ。
また違う季節にお邪魔させてください。
感動をありがとうございました。

I signed up to go horseback riding along the beach in Haleiwa. At first, I was worried I might fall off, but thanks to the very smart horse, I got used to it quickly. It was like a dream to be able to ride for a long time along the beach. It started to rain, and my pants and hair got quite wet, but I was able to borrow a raincoat, so my upper body stayed dry. I was disappointed that my time in Haleiwa was too short; I only had time to eat lunch and visit one shop. It would be perfect if I had more time to explore Haleiwa!

ハレイワ観光と海辺で乗馬をしたくて申し込みました。乗馬は最初落ちそうで心配でしたが、とてもかしこいお馬さんのおかげですぐ慣れました。浜辺を長時間乗馬できるなんて夢のような時間でした。途中雨が降ってきてズボンや髪がかなり濡れましたが、レインコートを貸してもらえたので上半身は濡れなくてよかったです。ハレイワでの時間が短すぎて、昼ごはんを食べてお店を1軒見ただけで終わってしまい残念でした。もっとハレイワでの散策の時間が長ければ最高です！

It was an early morning participation, but the weather was nice, and the driver was very lively and engaging. We returned on time and made it to the hotel breakfast. It was great. The sunrise from Diamond Head was amazing.

早朝参加でしたが、天気も良く、ドライバーさんもとても元気にお話ししてくれました。帰りも時間通りでホテルの朝食にも間に合いました。とても良かったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドからの朝日最高でした。

I previously participated in a stargazing and sunrise tour on the Big Island, and this sunset and stargazing tour was also amazing. Additionally, Mr. Yamauchi's guidance was excellent, and I'm really glad I joined. I would like to recommend it to my daughter and her husband as well.

以前ハワイ島で星空とサンライズのツアーに参加したことがありますが、今回のサンセットと星空のツアーも最高でした。また、山内さんのガイドも最高で、本当に参加して良かったです。娘夫婦にも薦めたいと思います。

I was able to experience horseback riding for a long time.
There was one guide for our group of six, who led us from the front and supported us from the back.
I thought the horses were smart as they remembered the path.
Along with the beautiful scenery of Hawaii, I was able to thoroughly enjoy horseback riding, to the point where my butt and knees started to hurt.

長時間乗馬を経験できました
6人のグループに1人のガイドの方がついてくれて、前を率いたり、後ろからサポートしてくれたりしました
馬が道を覚えており、頭が良いなと思いました
ハワイの美しい景色とともに、しっかりと乗馬を楽しむことができ、おしりと膝が痛くなったくらいです

We had a great time on the Mountain Tubing adventure. Our guide Uso was fun, knowledgeable about the area/history and very professional. Definitely recommend this experience!

It was a truly wonderful experience! Honestly, it was expensive, but it created the best memories.

We signed up for a two-hour horseback riding experience with transportation for three people aged 70, 41, and 13. We gathered at 7:30 and boarded the bus, which was supposed to arrive 45 minutes before the activity, but we got there just a few minutes before 9:00. I was worried about not being able to participate, but we were told to wait on a bench, and the staff called our names and handed us a paper with the activity details. Then we moved to another location where they explained each area in English, and it felt like we were dismissed. I thought it was easy to understand since the reception areas were visible from where we were.

We went directly to the horseback riding reception, signed in, and the staff helped us choose our horses. Everything went smoothly, and we even had time to use the restroom. The restroom was a portable one, but it was spacious and relatively clean. There was a sign saying not to flush the toilet paper, but I realized that after I had flushed it.

The horses were truly intelligent, following the path perfectly at a good speed. We rode through the shade of trees and could see the ocean, arriving at a meadow where we could see those amazing mountains. The guide had a reaction that seemed quite rare, as my horse suddenly lowered its posture and lay down in that meadow. I jumped off when it lowered itself and moved away a bit, so I wasn't injured, but it rolled on its back as if scratching itself and quickly stood up. The guide repeatedly said sorry and checked if I was okay. I realized that even the smartest animals can behave unpredictably, so it's important to keep that in mind. However, my mother in her 70s, who I was most worried about, was able to enjoy the experience until the end and said she was really glad she did it without any physical issues!

After horseback riding, I gave the guide a tip of $100, which might seem small compared to the experience fee of over $90, but I thought it was appropriate to follow local customs.

We finished around 11:30 and looked at photos of the actors before heading to buy lunch. There was already a long line, and we waited nearly 30 minutes after ordering. Our bus was scheduled to leave at 1:00, so we only had a little time to eat and took the rest back to the hotel. We had been talking about having plenty of time, but in the end, it was a bit rushed.

A photographer in a buggy took pictures of each of us as soon as we started riding. Each photo was $20. The buggy could accommodate four people, and the price was the same. Payment by card was available. By the way, I was able to ride with a North Face body bag attached to my waist. Even those without bags could borrow pockets on the saddle for drinks or smartphones.

In our group of six, consisting of my daughter, mother, myself, and three others, we lined up in that order, so I ended up with many photos of the backs of the two in front of me. Although I managed to take some photos while turning back as we got used to it, I only have about three mediocre photos of myself. I regret not trying harder to ask the guide to take at least one family photo, even if it was a long shot. By the way, we didn’t go to any locations with signs that clearly indicated they were filming sites for movies. I think the people on the bus went to those places.

Being able to experience horseback riding while seeing the magnificent scenery, which is different from Japan, was the best memory of my long-held dream. I think everyone should try it at least once.

とても良い経験となりました！正直高いですが、最高の思い出です。


09:30〜の乗馬２時間体験送迎付に70歳、41歳、13歳の3人で申し込みました。07:30の集合でバスに乗り込み、アクティビティの45分前までに着くようにと記載ありますが、着いたのが09:00数分前。
もしこれで参加できなかったらどうしようと不安でしたが、ベンチで待つよう言われ、受付の方が名前を呼びアクティビティ記載の紙を渡す→場所移動→英語で各場所の説明？をされ、解散みたいな感じでした。各受付はその場から見える範囲にあるのでわかりやすいと思いました。
私達はそのまま乗馬の受付にいき、サインしてスタッフが馬を選んでくれたりの流れでした。バタバタする事もなく、トイレにもいけました。トイレは簡易トイレですが、広く割と綺麗でした。トイレットペーパーは流さないでと張り紙がありましたが、流した後に気づきました。

馬は本当に賢くて、速度も道順もバッチリです。木陰を進み海が見えてきて、あの凄い山々が見える草原？広場？に到着です。
こんなことは滅多にないような反応をガイドさんがしてましたが、私の馬がその広場で急に姿勢を低くし、寝っ転がりました。私は低くなった時に飛び降り少し離れたので怪我等なかったですが、寝転がり背中をカイカイみたいにモゾモゾしてすぐ立ち上がりました。
ガイドさんに何度もsorryと言われ、怪我はないか？の確認もされました。どんなに賢くても生き物なのでこういった事も起こり得るという事は忘れずにいた方がいいと実感しました。
でも1番心配していた70代の母も最後まで体験でき、体の不調もなく本当にしてよかった！と言っています。

乗馬後、9万超えの体験料のチップとしては少ないかもですが、100ドルをガイドさんにお渡ししました。
それでも私にとっては高いですが、郷に入れば郷に従えでお渡ししました。

終わったのが11:30頃で俳優さんの写真等を見てから昼食を買いに行きました。既に長蛇の列で、注文してからも30分近く待ちました。13:00発のバスで15分前集合でしたので、ほんの少しだけ食べ後は持ち帰り、ホテルで食べました。割と時間あるねーなんて話していたのに結果最後はバタバタでした。

バギーに乗ったカメラマンさんが、乗馬始まってすぐ1人ずつ写真を撮ってくださいました。
これは１枚20ドルでした。バギーは一台で4人家族とかで写っていて同じ値段でした。カード払いできます。
ちなみに写真にうっていますが、ノースフェイスのボディバックを腰につけては乗馬可能でした。カバンがない人でも飲み物とかスマホ等は鞍？につけるポケットを貸してもらえるので大丈夫です。

娘、母、私と他３名の6人グループで、この順番に一列になって進んで行ったので、2人の後ろ姿ばかりの写真が多く、途中慣れてきて後を振り返っての写真も撮れましたが、私の写真は微妙な写真が３枚程度です。ガイドさんにダメ元でも家族の写真を１枚でも撮ってもらう様に頑張って話しかけたらよかったと、そこだけ後悔しています。
ちなみに、乗馬では映画のロケ地だとパッとわかるような看板等には行きません。バスに乗ってる方々がそーゆーところに行かれてたのかと思います。

日本とは違う壮大な景色を見ながら長年の夢だった乗馬体験をできた事は最高の思い出です。
一度は体験してほしいと思います。

There was a reservation issue when checking in on-site. However, they were very kind and thanks to them, I had an absolutely wonderful time. The staff during the tour were also very friendly and helped to relax the nervous children. This trip to Hawaii has undoubtedly become my best memory!

現地でチェックインする時に予約のトラブルが発覚。しかし、とても親切に対応してくださり、お陰様で最高に素敵な時間を過ごさせていただきました。
ツアー中のスタッフさんもとても気さくで、緊張気味な子供たちを上手にリラックスさせてくれました。
今回のハワイ旅行で、間違いなく1番の思い出となりました！

We were captivated by the beautiful nature, and it was a comfortable horseback riding trail. The staff accompanied us with care, allowing our family, even as beginners, to enjoy it with peace of mind.

美しい自然に魅了され、快適な乗馬の散歩道でした。スタッフの方が丁寧に同行してくださり初心者の我が家もみんな安心して楽しめました

The stars and sunset were amazing! I've never seen such a beautiful starry sky! As expected, it was a precious experience that can only be had on the Big Island of Hawaii! The sandwiches and hot chocolate were delicious. However, the cold was intense (^｡^) They took photos with a DSLR during the sunset, but it was very disappointing that none of them were downloaded.

星も夕陽も最高でした！
あんな素敵な星空見た事ない！
流石！ハワイ島でしか体験できない貴重な体験でした！
サンドイッチもホットチョコレートも美味しかったです。
ただ、寒さは半端なかった(^｡^)
サンセットでも一眼レフで撮ってくれたが
1枚もダウンロードされて無かったのがとても残念でした。

This was so much fun, Mike our tour guide was awesome and very knowledgeable about the Ranch. You don't realize just how many movies were made there until you see the signs and some of the props that were left behind. Make sure to bring a change of clothes with you because you do get dusty. Highly recommend this tour, you can also do Horseback but don't go out as far as on the ATV. You won't be disappointed.

It was my first time doing skydiving and going to Hawaii, but thanks to the amazing instructor, I was able to create wonderful memories. Each instructor had a slightly different way of taking photos and communicating, which was very interesting.

スカイダイビングをやるのもハワイに行くのも初めてでしたが、最高のインストラクターさんのおかげで素敵な思い出を作ることができました。
インストラクター毎に撮影や話し方が少しずつ違っており、とても面白かったです。

This was a great tour. We learned so much about the ranch, the area, etc. We did the UTV tour and Kevin is a great story teller. Would definitely come here again and try a different tour next time!

Great job everyone!

I would not pass up the opportunity to go tubing! It was such a fun and unique experience. The tour guides were funny and very knowledgeable. Do not miss out on this!

It is located in a private area with a gate. You will need a passcode to open the gate, which will be sent to you via email.

It takes longer to reach the location than what is shown on Google Maps after entering the private area.

Horseback riding is suitable for beginners. There will be a simple lecture at the beginning, all in English, but it's okay if you're not proficient in English.

You will pass through hilly areas and arrive at an open spot where you can see the ocean. They took pictures there.

At the end, you can feed your horse by hand.

The horses have names inspired by Hawaii. The horse that my family rode was named Aloha.

現地プライベート地区にあり、ゲートがあります。ゲートを開けるのに暗証番号が必要になります。番号はメールに来ます。

プライベート地区に入ってから現地に着くまで、Googleマップに表示されてるより、時間がかかります。

乗馬は初心者でも大丈夫です。初めに簡単なレクチャーがあります、全部英語ですが、英語が得意で無くても問題ありません。

アップダウンある所を通り、海が見える開けた場所にでます。そこで写真を撮ってくれました。

最後は自分の乗った馬に手でフードをあげる事が出来ます。

馬の名前はハワイにちなんだ名前が付いてます。家族の乗った馬はアロハでした。

I went alone, but I enjoyed it to some extent. However, there was a bit of time before the jump, and I had no one to talk to, so I was bored. The pre-jump explanation lasted about 30 seconds, but I managed to jump and I'm alive. It probably depends on your partner. Please be careful about drooling during free fall. I understood why the tandem instructors were wearing full-face helmets after it was over.

1人で行きましたが　それなりに楽しめました。
ただ飛ぶまでの間、少し時間があるのですが話し相手もおらず暇でした。
事前の説明は30秒ほどで終わりましたが無事に飛べたし生きています。
一緒に飛ぶパートナーによると思います。
