All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

The Makapu'u Lookout, included in other tours, is a viewpoint located at the base of this cape. While it offers beautiful scenery worth visiting on its own, the view towards the ocean is limited due to the small hill in the direction of the cape. The trail on this tour goes around that hill, and especially in the latter half, you walk along the cliffs towering over the vast ocean (the path is well-maintained, so it's not dangerous) and ascend to the highest point overlooking the lighthouse. The grandeur of the scenery along the way is incomparable to the lookout. You should definitely experience it.

This tour itself does not include any other sightseeing, just a round-trip shuttle to the trailhead, but I think it is the most convenient means of transportation from Waikiki to this trail.

他のツアーにも含まれているマカプウルックアウトは、この岬の付け根にある展望スポットで、もちろんそこだけでも行く価値のある美景ですが、岬方向が小高い山になっているため、海原方向の眺望は臨めません。このツアーで行くトレイルはその小山を回り込んで、特に後半は大海原にそびえる絶壁の上を歩いて（歩道はよく整備されているので危なくはないです）、灯台を見下ろす最高地点まで上ります。その道中の景色の壮大さは、ルックアウトとは比較になりません。ぜひ体感してください。
なおこのツアー自体はトレイルの入口までの往復シャトルで他に特に観光を含みませんが、ワイキキからこのトレイルまでの交通手段としては最も便利だと思います。

You can enjoy a horseback riding experience in the wonderfully beautiful nature shown in the photos. The horses are all gentle and well-trained, and even as a beginner, I had a great time riding.
There are Japanese versions of the notices and forms available on-site.
The guide speaks only in English, but they talk very slowly and clearly.
Wearing a helmet while riding is optional, but it's best to wear one.
The ranch is located at an altitude of about 1000 meters, and it can get quite cold when the wind blows or it rains. They can lend you a jacket, but make sure to prepare for the cold as well.

写真のような大変素晴らしい自然の中で、乗馬体験ができます。お馬さんたちはみな大人しく、よくトレーニングされており、初心の私も楽しく乗馬を楽しめました。
現地での注意書き、記入用紙などは日本語版が備えてあります。
ガイドは英語のみですが、大変ゆっくりとわかりやすく話してくれます。
乗馬の際にヘルメット着用は選択性になっていますが、必ず着用しましょう。
牧場は標高が1000mくらいの所にあり、風が吹いたり雨が降ったりすると、かなりの寒さになります。ジャケットは貸してもらえるのですが、防寒対策もきちんとしていきましょう。

I experienced it for the first time in the summer, and I couldn't forget the excitement from that time, so I made another reservation. I'm not good with heights, but once I went above the clouds, the beautiful scenery and thrill made me forget about my fear of heights. I wanted to experience it at least once in my life, and after trying it last time, it was such a wonderful experience that I want to do it again.

夏に初めて体験したのですが、その時の感動が忘れられずまた予約しました。高所が苦手ですが、雲より上にいってしまうと綺麗な景色と興奮で高さの怖さはあまりなかったです。人生で一度は体験したいと思って前回やってみましたが、またやりたくなるほど素晴らしい経験でした。

At Kualoa, there are Japanese staff members, so you can receive explanations in a polite manner, which is reassuring. There is also a Japanese video for the horseback riding instructions, so even if you don't understand English, you can manage. This time, I only did the two-hour horseback riding, but due to the shuttle schedule, there was a lot of waiting time, so I think it would have been better to book other activities as well. The scenery was very beautiful, but I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't a photo opportunity at the movie filming spots, as I had heard there would be.

クアロアには日本人のスタッフがいるので丁寧に説明を受けれて安心です。乗馬の説明も日本語のビデオがあるので英語がわからなくてもなんとかなります。今回は２時間の乗馬のみにしまが送迎の時間の関係で待ち時間が多いので、他のアクティビティも一緒に予約したほうが良かったと思いました。
景色がとても良かったのですが、映画の撮影スポットでの写真撮影があるときいていたのがなかったので少し残念でした。

As others have mentioned, in Japan, many places require a license, and it's almost impossible for beginners to ride for two hours. The price, including transportation, is very reasonable. I was able to fully enjoy the vast grounds, including locations used for movie shoots!

他の方がおっしゃっているようにまず日本だとライセンスが必要なところが多く、２時間も初心者で乗馬できることはほぼないです。価格も送迎付きでこのお値段はとてもお得かと。映画のロケ地など広大な敷地を存分に堪能できました！

Walking on the vast green areas like in the photo is rare, and you mostly proceed along mountain paths. I only saw one good movie filming location (which wasn't particularly striking), so if you're expecting movie-related attractions, a bus tour of the filming locations might be a good option.

写真にあるような広大な緑の上を歩くことは少なく、ほとんど山道のような所を進みます。映画のロケ地もいい一つしか見なかった(特にピンとくるものでもなかった)ので、映画関連のものを期待するなら、バスでのロケ地ツアーがいいかと思います。

Wonderful experience and the lead guide was very good in explaining the area, the film 🎥 shootings, about the owner of the Ranch.

This is my second time participating!
Even the second time, the buggy ride is fun!
The staff members who guide us may not understand English, but they are very enjoyable people!
I wish we could stop by more movie filming locations, but since I'm driving myself, it might be difficult time-wise!

2回目の参加です！
2回目でもバギーは楽しいです！
案内のスタッフさんも英語わからないけど、楽しい方々です！
映画の撮影場所にもっと立ち寄れたらいいなと思うけど、自分で運転するから時間的に難しいのかな！

The horseback riding experience since our honeymoon was amazing. It would have been even better if there had been a break along the way. Riding for about two hours straight made my legs tired. Since we only walked slowly the whole time, it was quite safe and considerate.

新婚旅行以来の乗馬体験、最高でした。途中で休憩があればなお良かったかな。およそ2時間、乗りっぱなしで足が疲れました。
ずっとゆっくり歩いただけなので、かなり安全に配慮されたものでした。

My experience during my previous visit was so wonderful that this was my second time. It's difficult to communicate unless you have at least a basic understanding of English, but there are Japanese staff members on-site.

At the beginning, you have to sign various waivers on a machine, but you can easily manage with Google Translate. I went alone both times without knowing much English, and I managed just fine.

One thing that caught my attention was that there are different height plans. I happened to become friends with a Japanese person on the same flight, and it seemed they had a different height plan, but we took off from the same place at the same time. I don't really understand feet, so I'm not sure how that works in practice.

Still, the experience itself is something I think everyone should try at least once in their life. The support from the person flying with you was perfect. I will definitely use this service again.

以前来た時の体験が素晴らし過ぎて今回2回目の体験でした。
基本英語がなんとなくわかる人でないとコミュニケーションが難しいですが、一応現地に日本語スタッフの方はいます。
最初に機械で色々と誓約書にサインなどがありますが、google翻訳で余裕でいけます。
僕は英語はほとんどわからないまま、2回とも１人で行きました。なんとかなります。

1点気になったのは、高さのプランがありますがたまたま同じ便だった日本人の方と仲良くなり、その方は他の高さのプランだったようですが、同時に同じところから飛びました。
そもそもフィートの感覚がわからないので実際どうなのか？

それでも体験自体は人生で1度は体験して欲しいぐらい最高です。
一緒に飛んでくれる方のサポートも完璧でした。
必ずまた利用させてもらいます。

I saw many reviews mentioning that the weather is often bad in winter, but on January 3rd, when I participated, it was clear and we were able to reach the summit without any issues. The sunset seemed to fall into the clouds, but it was incredibly beautiful. Our guide, Sho-you, was entertaining during the journey and very considerate, making the travel time enjoyable.

As for stargazing, I thought it might be hard to see because the moon was bright, but we were able to see various constellations, and the moon, Saturn, and Jupiter looked stunning through the telescope. The guide's explanations about the night sky were very interesting for us!

The BLT sandwich we had at the summit was seasoned perfectly and tasted better than I had imagined (laughs). I haven't received the photos yet, but I'm sure they captured some wonderful moments.

The tour itself and the guide were fantastic, and we had a great time, but there was a slight disappointment. I was a bit late for the scheduled meeting time of 14:30, so I called to inform them, but the person who answered the phone (not the guide) was quite rude. In the end, we arrived almost on time, but when we got to the meeting place, the tour vehicle was not there... After several calls, it turned out that the meeting time we were given was incorrect, and it was actually 15:00. They did apologize, but I wondered if they had noticed it when I first called, it might have prevented any unpleasant feelings (the notification about the change in meeting time came later...).

Also, I had signed up for the English tour, but when we joined on the day, it turned out to be a Japanese tour. Since three out of four participants were Japanese, we ended up enjoying it, but I think it would have been better if we had been informed in advance about any changes.

So, while the tour itself deserves five stars, overall, I would rate it four stars.

冬は天気が悪い日が多いという口コミもたくさんみかけましたが、参加した1月3日は快晴で、問題なく山頂まで行けました。
夕日は雲の中に落ちる感じではありましたが、すごくきれいに見えました。
ガイドの翔陽さんの道中のトークもおもしろく、気配りも素敵な感じで、移動時間も楽しい時間を過ごせました。
星空観測も、月が明るい日だったので見えづらいかなと思いましたが星座もいろいろ見ることができ、望遠鏡で見た月、土星、木星もとてもきれいでした。ガイドさんの星空解説も、我々にとってはすごくおもしろかったです！
そして山頂でいただいたBLTサンド、塩がきいてて想像してたよりおいしかった（笑）
写真はまだいただいていないですが、きっと素敵なのを撮っていただけているはず。

ツアー自体もガイドさんもすばらしく、良い時間を過ごせたんですが、少しだけ残念だったことが。
通知されていた集合時間14：30に少しだけ遅れそうだったので電話連絡をしたのですが、電話口に出た方（ガイドさんとは別の方）の態度が大変横柄でした。結局ほぼ遅れずに到着できたんですが、待ち合わせの場所に行ってもツアーの車はおらず・・・何度か電話連絡して、結局我々に伝えられていた集合時間がまちがっていて、本当は15時だったことが判明。一応謝ってはいただいたんですが、最初に電話した時に気づいていただければいやな気持にならずに済んだのかな、と思いました（集合時間変更の通知は後から来ました・・・）。
また、英語ツアーで申し込んでいたんですが当日合流したら日本語のツアーになっていました。4人中3人は日本人だったので結果的には楽しめたんですが、変更がある場合は事前にご連絡いただけると良かったかなと思います。
ということで、ツアー自体は☆5つだったんですが、総合して☆４つにさせてもらいました。

I have a boating license, so next I pursued an airplane license, which I had been interested in for a while and finally experienced. On the day of the flight, there was a strong south wind, and we took off heading north, flying down the East Coast and returning west over Waikiki Beach. The various views from above and being able to look down at Diamond Head from the Cessna were breathtaking, and I was lucky enough to see a rainbow below!

船舶ライセンスはあるので，次は飛行機ライセンスと以前から興味があり体験しました。
当日、南風が強く北回りで離陸して東海岸を南下してワイキキビーチ上空を西に帰還するルートでした。上空からの様々な景色やダイヤモンドヘッドをセスナで見下ろせるのは、圧巻なのと運良く眼下に虹🌈もみれてラッキーでした。

Hands down…. The best activity my wife and I have had in our 6-day vacation in Maui. David was an exceptional tour guide! Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about all the hiking spots and locations, but he was also entertaining and genuinely friendly throughout the trip. What truly set him apart was his dedication and care for his customers. My wife lost her phone while hiking, and David went above and beyond by returning to the trail to search for it. That phone held all our photos and memories from our trip to Hawaii, and thanks to David, we were able to recover it. Without him, our 6-day vacation could have turned into a disaster. We are so grateful for his kindness and professionalism—he truly made our trip unforgettable.

I was taken on a tour by Yamapi. Fortunately, it was just my group, so we had the chance to talk about various recommended spots in Maui and Honolulu, as well as Yamapi's life stories while he guided us up the mountain.

We took photos at a scenic spot, watched the sunset, and waited for the stars. Since it was about half a moon, the Milky Way was only faintly visible, but there was no wind at all, so I didn't have to worry about the cold. (It seems that it’s usually quite windy and cold, but we just happened to have calm weather that day.) They also provide blankets and warm clothing, which is reassuring.

We slowly looked at various stars through a telescope while receiving explanations. The photo of the moon was one I took with my phone while trying to capture what I saw through the telescope. They also teach you how to take photos of stars with your phone, so you can get beautiful shots even with an iPhone camera.

I truly felt that participating in this activity, where you can experience the rich nature and vast sky, was a great decision. I will definitely bring my brother and his wife next year.

やまぴーさんのガイドで連れて行ってもらいました。
ラッキーな事に自分のグループのみだったので、色々マウイやホノルルのお勧めスポットの話や、やまぴーさんの人生談など、色々お話しながら山に連れて行ってもらいました。

写真スポットで写真を撮ってもらって、夕日を見送り、星待ち。
半月くらいだったので、天の川はうっすらしか見えなかったですが、全く風が無く、寒さの心配無用でした。
（本当にたまたま風がなかっただけで、いつもは結構風もあって寒いみたいです）
毛布や防寒着も貸してくれるので安心です。

天体望遠鏡でいろんな星を解説してもらいながらゆっくり見せてもらいました。
月の写真は天体望遠鏡で見えるのを頑張って携帯で撮ったものです。
携帯での星の写真の撮り方も教えてくれるので、iPhoneのカメラでもキレイに撮れます。

自然豊かで大きな空を感じられるこのアクティビティは本当に参加して良かったと思えました。
また来年は弟夫婦も連れて必ず行きます。

The shuttle was on time and the driver was very friendly.

One of the things I wanted to try at least once in my life was skydiving. This site made it easy and affordable to make a reservation, and on the day of the jump, a car arrived to pick me up at a clear location. Before trying it, I was nervous and worried that I might not be able to do it, but the friendly reception staff and instructors really lifted my spirits. I felt safe and had a great time, for which I am grateful. I also opted for a video shoot, and it turned out to be a wonderful keepsake. I definitely want to invite friends and family to jump with me at Go Jump again.

人生で一度はやってみたい事の一つにスカイダイビングを考えていました．
こちらのサイトでは簡単でお手頃に予約ができて当日はわかりやすい場所に迎えの車が到着しました．
やってみる前は緊張してできないかもしれないと不安でしたが丁寧な受付のスタッフやインストラクターが気分を上げてくれました．
安全で楽しめて感謝しています。
オプションで撮影も頼みましたがとても思い出に残る素敵な動画に仕上がっていました。また是非Go Junpで友人や家族を誘って飛んでみたいです。

You will slowly ride back and forth along a coastal course that takes about 30 minutes one way. The guide will take photos at beautiful spots along the way. The horseback riding guide only speaks English, but the horses are very well-trained and will walk on their own, so even if you don't speak English, you'll be just fine. It's suitable for those who are riding for the first time as well. It's a very relaxing experience!

片道30分の海沿いのコースををゆっくり往復します。途中の景色が綺麗なところでガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれます。乗馬のガイドさんは英語しか話しませんが、お馬さんがとても慣れていて、勝手に歩いて行ってくれるので英語ができなくてもなんとか大丈夫です。初めて乗馬される方でも問題ないです。とてもほのぼのできますよ〜

It was raining on the way to the summit, but since we went to a place higher than the clouds, we saw many rainbows. The weather didn't seem to matter at all.

It was very cold at the summit at night, but they lent us coats and blankets, so with sufficient cold protection, we were able to observe the Milky Way and many stars, which made us very satisfied.

山頂までの間雨が降っていましたが、雲より高い場所に行くため、たくさんの虹が見えました。天気は全く気にしなくて良いみたいでした。

山頂夜間はとても寒いですがコート、毛布を貸していただけ、十分な防寒対策の上天の川やたくさんの星を観察でき、非常に満足しました。

Uncle and aunt can have fun too! It's great to let loose regardless of age! It's enjoyable to be racing through the worlds of Jurassic Park and King Kong. The scenery is also amazing.

おじさん、おばさんも楽しい😆年甲斐もなくハッチャケられます！
ジェラシックパークやコングの映画の世界を爆走しているのが楽しいです。景色も最高。

Yoshi was a wonderful guide, and he took great care of us on all those winding roads. He thought of everything and provided us water, coats, chairs and even telescopes so we could see the starts. He even helped us set up our phones so we could take pictures of the night sky. This tour would be a must for those visiting Maui.

We participated as a family of five. A captain and one staff member accompanied us, and since the capacity was six, we set sail with one foreign guest. The meeting time was early in the morning, so it was still dark. The sunrise viewed from the sea was very beautiful. Our family was able to catch a 28 kg marlin and a 15 kg mahi-mahi with their support. It was an exciting experience filled with miraculous luck. Everyone, including the foreign guest who joined us, was kind and cheerful, making the trolling very enjoyable. We definitely want to do this again. Thank you very much.

家族5人で参加。キャプテンとスタッフの方1人がついてくれて、定員が6人だったので外国人の方1人と一緒に出航しました。集合時間は朝早いのでまだ暗かったです。
海から見る朝日がとても綺麗でした。
我が家は28kgのカジキと15kgのシイラをサポートしてもらいながら釣ることが出来ました。奇跡的な幸運で大興奮。全員さんも一緒に乗った外国人の方も優しく明るい方たちでとても楽しくトローリングでした。
是非またお願いしたいです。ありがとうございました。

I was attracted to participate because of the opportunity to connect with nature. I wasn't really eager to jump into the waterfall pool, but the people around me were kind and encouraged me, so I decided to give it a try. It turned out to be less scary than I expected, and I had a lot of fun. I felt a sense of accomplishment and, for some reason, I felt very refreshed. I didn't think it would be this interesting.

自然に親しめることが魅力で参加しました。滝壺に飛び込むなんて、本当はやりたくない…と乗り気でなかったのですが、まわりの人たちが親切にしてくれて励ましてくれたので、思いきってやってみようと決意しました。思っていたよりも怖くなくて、ワクワクして楽しかったです。達成感があり、何故かとてもスッキリした気持ちになりました。こんなに面白いとは思っていませんでした。

Our family enjoyed the UTV tour of Kualoa Ranch. Our guides, Raymond and Tony were great. Raymond with his lame jokes and Tony was great with the kids. The scenery at Kualoa Ranch is amazing, the ocean, the mountains and a filming location of many movies. Driving the UTV was fun for the adults and the kids enjoyed the bumpy ride on the off road tracks. Plenty of other activity options at Kualoa Ranch if UTV is not your thing.

My tour guide, James, was great! He was informative, kind, patient and made the experience fun. Seeing the sunset on a volcano summit and then stargazing afterwards is a bucket list thing that everyone should do! Unforgettable!!!

I found information online and on YouTube that some people drive to the summit of Mauna Kea by rental car, so I was hesitant about whether to join a tour, but it was definitely the right choice to participate.

First of all, even with a navigation system, it seems easy to get lost as it gets dark, and returning at midnight while tired from the trip makes it even more challenging. The parking space at the summit is also limited, so I believe joining a tour is the best option. I actually wanted to choose a Japanese tour, but it was fully booked, so I joined the English tour instead. However, when we observed the stars through the telescope, we were at the same location as the Japanese tour by VELTRA, so I was able to listen to the explanations from their tour guide.

The tour I participated in had three Americans and seven Japanese participants. On the way back, it seemed that the local Japanese guide had selected the music, as Japanese hit songs related to the sky (like Ayaka's "Mikazuki" and Checkers' "Hoshikuzu no Stage") were playing, and I secretly enjoyed it while everyone else was sleeping.

ネットやYouTubeでマウナケア山頂までレンタカーで行く方もいらっしゃるとの情報があったので、ツアーに参加するか迷いましたが、参加して正解でした。
まず、山頂まではナビがあったとしても暗くなってくると迷いそうですし、何しろ帰りは真夜中で旅の疲れもあり眠くなります・・・。頂上の駐車スペースも狭く、個人で行くよりツアー参加がベストな選択と思いました。本当は日本語ツアーを選択したかったのですが、定員オーバーで英語ツアーに参加しました。ただ、天体望遠鏡で星を観察する時は同じVELTRAさんの日本語ツアーと同じ場所だったのでそちらのツアーガイドさんの説明を聞くことができました。私が参加したツアーはアメリカ人３人日本人７人でした。帰りの車内ではおそらく現地の日本人ガイドさんが選曲されたのか？空にまつわる邦楽ヒットソング（絢香の三日月やチェッカーズの星屑のステージなどなど）が流れていて、みんなが寝ている間密かに楽しんでいました。

A luxurious time spent riding horses through a picturesque location that also serves as a film shooting spot. It's the best way to enjoy a vacation.

映画のロケーション場所にもなる風光明媚な場所をを馬に跨りながら廻る贅沢な時間。最高なバカンスの過ごし方です。

The Hosts,Abby and Lindy, were the best!!
We had the best time💕

I was quite satisfied as the tour lasted about two hours. I got to see stunning views and enjoyed visiting movie filming locations. The only downside was that the person at the reception didn't come to pick us up at the hotel, so it took a while to board the bus.

２時間位で回るのでかなり満足します。
絶景も見れるし、映画のロケ地もみれて楽しかったです。
残念だった事は、ホテルへのお迎えの時に受付の人が来なくてバスになかなか乗車出来なかったのが残念でした。

A great time zooming down the zip lines. The first one was a bit of a leap of faith but afterwards it was a lot of fun. Highly recommend an adventure zip lining. And our guides were fun and entertaining.

I joined because I really wanted to go fishing on a cruiser. We started slowly in the morning. Everyone had their own fishing rods, so we could fish at our own pace. Although we didn't catch any big fish, we moved to different spots and caught several fish around 20 centimeters.

とにかくクルーザーに乗って釣りがしたくて参加しました。
朝は，ゆっくりスタートです。
各自釣竿があるので自分のペースで釣りができます。
大きな魚は釣れませんがポイントを移動しながら20センチ前後の魚が何匹か釣れました。
