I challenged myself with my daughter, who is about to get married. It was fun. It was an experience like no other. I recommend trying it at least once.

結婚を控えた娘とチャレンジしました。
楽しかったです。
何にも例えようのない体験でした。
一度は体験することをおすすめします。

It was a valuable time where I could experience something new. The service was also attentive and wonderful. Thank you very much.

新しいことを体感出来る価値ある時間でした。サービスもきめ細やかで素晴らしかったです。ありがとうございました。

I didn't expect to catch a marlin at all, so I had no expectations from the start, but surprisingly, I caught a marlin (40 kg) just an hour and a half in! After that, I also caught a huge mahi-mahi (50 kg)! The other two also caught three mahi-mahi, so we ended up with a total of five fish from our trolling trip! I was feeling seasick and down until the bites started, but it turned into the best memory! Thank you so much!

どうせカジキは絶対無理と思って最初から期待はしてなかったのですが、まさかの開始1時間半でカジキ（40キロ）釣りました！その後もマヒマヒ特大（50キロ）釣れました！他の2人もマヒマヒ3匹で
3人のトローリングで計5匹釣れました！
船酔いで当たりが来るまではずっとダウンしてましたが、最高の思い出になりました！
本当にありがとうございました！

With excitement for my first experience in a Cessna, I grasped the controls and took off into the sky. The presence of a professional pilot next to me provided a sense of security, allowing me to fully enjoy the emerald green sea, the scenery, and the thrill of heading towards the horizon from above.

セスナ初体験でワクワクしながら、操縦桿を握り、空へと飛び立った。隣にプロパイロットがいる安心感があり、空からのエメラルドグリーンの海、景色、水平線に向かって進む快感を充分に味わうことができました。

Unfortunately, it was rainy and cloudy. However, once it started, it wasn't raining, but I still couldn't capture the sunset beautifully. The staff worked hard to take many photos to make it look nice, and I had a very good experience. Thank you very much! 😊

あいにく雨で　曇りでした💦　でも　始まると雨も降ってなく　でも　やっぱり　サンセットが　あまり綺麗に撮れなかったけど　スタッフの皆さんが　一生懸命　綺麗に映るように　写真をいっぱい撮って下さって　とても良い体験が出来ました(o^^o) 感謝　ありがとうございました😊

It was raining, but I was able to go ahead with the outdoor activity thanks to the loan of a raincoat. It was my second time horseback riding, and it wasn't particularly difficult; the magnificent scenery was very pleasant. The horses were also adorable.

雨が降っていましたが、カッパを貸していただいて雨天決行できました。
乗馬は2度目でしたが、特に難しいことなく、壮大な景色がとても気持ちよかったです。馬も可愛いです。

The scenery was absolutely wonderful, and of course, Yamapi's guidance was thorough and enjoyable. I'm really glad I participated! I want to go again!

大変に景色が素晴らしかったのはもちろん、やまぴーさんのガイドが丁寧で楽しく、参加して本当に良かったです!また行きたい‼︎

James, Ginelle, and *Merick are an amazing team..they made our experience enjoyable and memorable by taking necessary care throughout the tour. (*not sure if I’m spelling the name correctly)

To start, we have been on other ATV trips on Kauai, but this one outdid them all!
From the equipment to the expertise of our 2 wonderful guides, it was a day to remember!!

I arrived at the meeting point by 7:15 for the 7:30 check-in, but no staff appeared even by 7:30. They finally showed up at 7:52. After that, with only two staff members, they began preparing the boat, causing us to depart a few minutes later than planned. While I don't mind the delay, I felt a bit anxious waiting since no one was there at the scheduled meeting time.

We enjoyed a view of Waikiki Beach from the sea. After a while, we started fishing about 300-400 meters from Diamond Head. It was fun to catch various fish easily. My mother tangled her line and caused some trouble for the staff, but they were very kind and helpful. We also had the good fortune of seeing wild dolphins swimming nearby, which was a great experience.

It was nice that there were only eight participants, allowing the staff to keep an eye on everyone. However, it was disappointing that there was no barbecue on board for the fish we caught.

朝7:30チェックインとのことで集合場所に7:15迄に行ったが7:30になってもスタッフ現れず。7:52になってようやく現れた。それから2人だけのスタッフで船内の準備など始め出発は予定より数分遅れた。出発遅れるのは気にしないが予定の集合時間に誰もいなかった為待っている間は少し不安だった。
ワイキキ海岸沿い一帯を海から眺望。しばらくしてダイヤモンドヘッドから300-400メートルほど離れた場所を周り釣りスタート。簡単に色々な魚が釣れて楽しかった。母親が糸を絡ませたり色々スタッフに面倒をかけてしまったが親切に対応してくれた。野生のイルカが泳いでいるのもたまたま近くで見ることができ良い経験だった。
参加者8名とスタッフの目が行き届く人数でよかった。
詳細にある釣った魚を船内でバーベキューがなかったのは残念だった。

There were no staff members who could speak Japanese, so I received an explanation through a Japanese instructional video. I went through three videos, and it took less than an hour to finish. It was great; I was able to take photos and have some taken of me as well.

日本語を話せるスタッフがいなく日本語説明動画で説明を受けました
3本しましたが1時間かからないくらいで終わりました
最高でした　撮影できましたし写真を撮ってもらえました

I rode for 2 hours, so my butt and knees hurt afterward, but riding while enjoying the magnificent views of the mountains and the sea was wonderful! There was ample time before and after the ride to take various photos and check out the shop, which was great. We were the only Japanese people there, but when we arrived at Kualoa Ranch, a staff member who spoke Japanese guided us, which was reassuring. The horseback riding video is also available in Japanese, so it's fine even if you don't speak English.

As a note, sunscreen and sunglasses are essential. The sun was very strong, and my face turned bright red the next day. Also, if you go with just a waist pouch and the bare essentials (water, smartphone, money, and a small snack that fits in the pouch), you can save the $5 locker fee. You can purchase a commemorative photo during the ride for $20. I gave a $20 tip.

2 時間乗馬したままなので終わった後お尻と膝が痛いですが、壮大な山と海の景色を観ながらの乗馬はとても良かったです！
乗馬前と乗馬後は適度に時間があり、色々写真を撮れたり売店をみる時間もあり良かったです。
日本人は私達だけでしたが、クアロアランチに着くと日本語が喋れるスタッフが案内してくれて安心しました。
乗馬のビデオも日本語で見れるので英語が出来なくても大丈夫です。
注意点としては日焼け止め、サングラスは必須です。
日差しがとても強く翌日顔が真っ赤になりました。
また荷物はウエストポーチと最低限のもの（水、スマホ、お金、ポーチに入る程度の小さなお菓子）で行くとロッカー代の5$節約できます。
乗馬中の記念写真は1枚20$で購入できます。
チップは20$渡しました。

This was a hit for me. Accommodations (vehicle, drinks, food) were excellent. Tour guide knowledge was excellent. They didn’t beg/guilt trip for tips like every other guided tour in Hawaii which made me happy — this made me more inclined to tip nicely. Don’t hesitate to book this because the guided narration enriches the experience so much. If you’re an adventure seeker, there are two decent options to get wet — one black sand beach at the state park and one waterfall pool.

It was a great experience where we could enjoy both the sunset and stargazing on one tour, and the driver's explanations and service were attentive.

一つのツアーでサンセットとスターゲイジングができ、ドライバーの方の説明や対応が細やかで、良い体験ができました。

I have long admired flying airplanes since my youth. I had an experience here that I couldn't have in Japan. They accommodated me with training for takeoff, ascent, descent, and turns, which are all part of obtaining a license. The instructor was a young American man who graduated from a university in Japan, and he taught me very kindly.

若かりし頃から、飛行機の操縦にあこがれてました。
日本では、出来ない体験をさせていただきました。
離陸、上昇、下降、旋回と免許取得用の内容も受け入れてくださいました。
インストラクターは、アメリカ国籍で日本の大学をでた若い男の子で、
とても優しく教えて頂きました。

Ryan was awesome. We really enjoyed spending the morning with him. He knows everything there is to know about the local environment. It was a fun event.

A relaxing horseback riding experience in nature. The 2-hour course starts with a brief orientation, which is only about 5 minutes! You watch a 1-minute Japanese safety video, and then you immediately start riding, learning how to move forward, turn right, turn left, and stop! I was a bit nervous at first, but I got used to it quickly.

The horses are all well-behaved, so I don't think you'll have any trouble. You progress slowly through the beautiful nature. An instructor is assigned to every 5 to 6 participants, so I felt completely at ease.

You get to ride for a full 2 hours. There was also plenty of free time at Kualoa Ranch! There is one restaurant, and they sell snacks and drinks, accepting both cash and credit cards! There's also a souvenir shop, which also accepts cash and credit cards.

There are paid lockers available for $5. You register using a touch panel machine next to the lockers. You can use both cash and credit cards, and you can access your items as many times as you want unless you finish the session yourself! You operate the in-and-out process using the touch panel each time. There are no locker keys. The touch panel can also be switched to Japanese.

The horseback riding tour is 2 hours long, so you might get a bit hungry! It's better to eat before the tour! By the way, the restrooms were clean!

大自然の中でゆっくり乗馬体験。
2時間コースで最初に講習ありますが、これはほんの少し(5分位)です！1分程度の日本語版注意ビデオを見て、その後すぐ乗馬、進め、右へ、左へ、ストップのやり方を習って出発！最初は少し緊張しましたが、すぐに慣れます。

馬はみんな良い子で、困ることは無いと思います。
大自然の中をゆっくり進んでいきます。インストラクターの方は参加者5〜6名ごとに必ず一名付いてくれますので不安は全くありませんでした。

たっぷり2時間乗馬させてもらえます。
クアロアランチでの自由時間もたっぷりありました！
レストランは一軒、お菓子や飲み物も売っていて現金とクレジットカード使えます！
お土産物屋さんも一軒、こちらも現金とクレジットカード使えます。

有料5ドルのロッカーあります。ロッカー横のタッチパネル式の機械で登録します。こちらも現金とクレジットカードどちらも使えて、自分で終了としない限り何度でも出し入れできます！
いちいちタッチパネルで出し入れの操作します。ロッカーキーはありません。
タッチパネルは日本語に変えることも可能です。

乗馬ツアーは2時間で割とお腹減ります！
ツアーの前に食べたほうがいいです！
ちなみに、トイレも綺麗でした！

The sunset and the starry sky were amazing.
I was very surprised by the cold weather, which was unexpected for Hawaii.
The Subaru Telescope at an altitude of 4,000 meters was impressive.

サンセットと満天の星空は最高でした。
ハワイとは思えない寒さで大変驚きました。
標高4,000Mの山頂にあるスバル天体望遠鏡は感動しました。

James who was the tour guide was very nice and thoughtful in providing anything we needed and gave a very informative details about Mauna Kea and the surrounding areas. He was also very helpful in pointing out specific constellations during the star gazing tour. He offered and took pictures of us with our phones. I really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend anyone who comes to The Big Island of Hawaii to take this tour and hopefully James will be assigned as your tour guide.

Yoshi was a fantastic tour guide. He’s been doing this for 20 years so he knows the perfect spot to watch the sunset and stargaze. His telescopes were amazing! I don’t want to spoil everything but will leave you with this…just do it, book it, you won’t regret it. An absolute must do!

The Japanese guide welcomed us at the hotel. They were incredibly knowledgeable and taught us a lot about various things in Hawaii, which was very educational. Listening to them was as enjoyable as piloting a Cessna. Noticing my anxious personality, the captain mostly handled the piloting for me, haha. There was a moment while waiting to land when we made some sharp turns, and it became a really great memory. Thank you very much.

日本人ガイドがホテルまでお出迎え。めちゃくちゃ物知りな方でハワイの色んなことを教えていただき、すごく学びになりました。セスナを操縦するのに匹敵するぐらい話を聞いてるのが楽しかった。ビビリな私の性格をみて、セスナはキャプテンがほとんど操縦してくれてました笑　着陸時間まちで旋回する場面があったのですが、めちゃくちゃ角度が傾き、すごくいい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

The sand dust is incredible, so I wore a dust mask from my neck to below my eyes like the people in Jurassic Park, and goggles for my eyes. Just the outfit gets me excited. There were many breathtaking spots and popular attractions. The course is quite long.

とにかく砂埃がすごいので、ジュラシックパークに出てくる人達みたいに、砂埃よけを首から目の下までつけ、目にはゴーグル。格好からテンション上がる。絶景スポットや話題のスポットがたくさんあった。結構コースが長い。

As expected from being a filming location for Jurassic Park, there was a truly magnificent spot that felt immense and full of nature's breath. The photo is from a place on the way to Manoa Falls. Personally, the view from Tantalus Lookout was also spectacular, and the sandwich that was served for lunch was exquisite.

さすがジュラシックパークのロケ地として使われただけあり、すごく巨大で自然の息吹を感じる素敵なスポットがあった。写真はマノアの滝に向かう途中にあるところ。個人的にはタンタラスの丘も絶景で、ランチに出てきたサンドイッチが絶品だった。

My first zip line experience. I thought it would be scary, but it wasn't. The guide explained everything in English. I didn't catch all the details, but he made me laugh a lot with simple English.

初のジップライン。
怖いのかと思ってたけど、怖くなかった。ガイドさんが英語で説明。細かいところは分からなかったけど、簡単な英語でたくさん、笑かしてくれました。

The sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea was exceptional!
We were able to observe a starry sky so clear that we could see the Milky Way!
Thanks to the attentive Japanese guide during the journey and the observation, we had a wonderful time.

マウナケア山頂からのサンセットは、格別でした！
星空観測も天の川が見える程の満天の星空を観測できました！
道中や観測中の際も、丁寧な日本語ガイドのお陰で、とても楽しむことができました。

It was great! Pick up and drop off near hotel area, perfect. Sunrise hike to Diamond Head is a great way to start the day. You can go at your own pace. Views of sunrise and surrounding areas were beautiful! After the hike, driver dropped us off to Eggs N Things. Delicious!! After breakfast, driver picked us up and dropped us off near hotel.

The last time it was canceled due to a hurricane, so this was my second attempt. I watched the sunset for about 20 minutes before it started, and it was truly beautiful with clear air and almost no clouds. At one moment, I even saw the green flash.

For stargazing, I booked on a day as close to the new moon as possible, so I was able to see the Milky Way, and with the telescope set up by the guide, I could observe Saturn and even Jupiter along with its moons. Although the number of visible constellations is limited by the season, I was surprised to see all 12 zodiac signs with the naked eye.

Moreover, the guide's vast knowledge, covering everything from the origins of constellations to information from various observatories around the world, was impressive. It was truly a satisfying experience, blessed with good weather and a knowledgeable guide.

前回はハリケーンでキャンセルとなり、２度目のトライでした。
サンセットの20分くらい前からずーっと見ていましたが、澄んだ空気の中、雲もほとんどなく、本当に美しいサンセットでした。瞬間的にはグリーンフラッシュも見えたほどです。
星空観測も、出来るだけ新月に近い日を選んで予約したので、天の川はもちろん、ガイドさんがセットして下さった望遠鏡では土星、そして木星は周りの衛星まで確認することが出来ました。また、季節的に数は限られるものの、12星座を肉眼で見られたのも驚きです。
そして、それらを説明して下さったガイドさんの膨大な知識量は、各国の天文台から星座の由来、成り立ちまで幅広くて驚きました。
天候とガイドさんに恵まれた、本当に満足出来る体験でした。

Unfortunately, it rained. You can borrow a rain jacket while horseback riding, but it only covers the upper body, so my pants got completely soaked, and I ended up buying a change of clothes at the souvenir shop. The facility has coin lockers, so I recommend bringing a change of clothes on days with bad weather. The activity itself was really fun!

あいにくの雨でした。
乗馬中はレインジャケットを借りれますが、上半身しか覆わないので、ズボンがびしょ濡れになり、お土産屋さんで上下の着替えを買うことになってしまいました。
施設にはコインロッカーがあるので、天候が悪い日は着替えを持っていくことをおすすめします。
アクティビティ自体はとっても楽しかったです！！

We traveled entirely by car, so my elderly parents (70 and 66 years old) were able to participate with peace of mind! The starry sky was beautifully visible, and the explanations in Japanese were very clear and made for a really enjoyable time. The cocoa in the cold was delicious too ❤︎ I was worried about the high altitude, but thanks to the acclimatization at the Onizuka Center, we were able to complete the entire program without any issues. Thank you so much for this valuable experience! I would love to participate again when my children are older and can join us!

移動は全て車なので、高齢の両親(70歳、66歳)も安心して参加させていただきました！
星空は綺麗に見える上に、日本語での説明もしていただいて、すごくわかりやすく楽しい時間になりました。寒い中のココアも美味しかったです❤︎
標高が高いので心配でしたが、オニヅカセンターでの慣らしもあり、無事に全工程を過ごせました。
貴重な体験を本当にありがとうございました！子供が大きくなって、一緒に行けるようになったらまた参加したいです！

It was a very valuable tour where I rode a horse for two hours in a natural setting reminiscent of Jurassic Park. Since I rode alone, I think it was an experience that is quite rare in Japan. The horses were gentle and at a level that even beginners could handle. The guide was a native speaker, but they mixed in simple Japanese for our explanations, and the conversations were enjoyable. I was very satisfied with the tour.

ジェラシックパークで見たような大自然の中で2時間も馬に乗って散策する非常に貴重なツアーでした。それも一人で乗るのでなかなか日本では出来ない経験だったと思います。馬さん達は穏やかで初心者でも扱えるレベルでした。ガイドさんはネイティブの方でしたが私たちには簡単な日本語を混ぜて説明してくれましたし会話も楽しかったです。大満足のツアーでした。
