Hawaii
This was such an amazing experience. I felt like I was on another planet and our guide James was such an awesome guy. I’m hoping to experience this again in the future soon
My first choice was horseback riding, but it was fully booked, so I went with the buggy instead. The location was amazing! The view of the mountains and the sea while driving was truly wonderful. I also enjoyed the buggy ride, which included plenty of ups and downs on the mountain roads! It was a great experience.
第一希望は乗馬でしたが満員でバギーに。ロケーションは最高でした!山側も走行中見える海も本当に素敵でした。バギーも少し運転ではなく、アップダウンのある山道をたっぷり楽しむ事が出来ました!!良い体験が出来ました。
You will get quite sandy. They provide goggles, but not only your body, your eyes and nose will also be affected. After finishing, it's recommended to take a shower before dinner.
かなり砂まみれになります。ゴーグル等かしてくれますが、身体だけでなく目も鼻も凄いです。終了後は一度シャワー浴びての夕飯がおすすめです。
This was our third trip to Hawaii as a family. This time, we participated in the Manoa Falls hike for the first time. I think we walked for about 30 to 40 minutes from the entrance. Since it's a rainy area, the path was muddy. Because of that, it felt like we were climbing a mountain more than I had imagined. My sons seemed to handle it well, though. After getting tired, we were moved by the sight of the waterfall! The guide and the driver also pointed out photo spots and took family pictures for us!
The view from Tantalus Lookout after Manoa Falls was also magnificent. My sons were impressed as well. The sandwiches we had there were really delicious! I highly recommend this tour. Next time, I would like to join another plan from this company. Thank you!
家族で3回目のハワイ。
今回は初めてマノアの滝ハイキングに参加しました。入り口からは30分〜40分くらい歩いたと思います。雨の多い地域とのことで道はぬかるんでいます。そのため想像よりしっかり山を登ったような感覚でした。息子たちは余裕だったようですが。疲れた後に着いて見える滝には感動します!ガイドの方も運転手さんも写真スポットを教えてくれたり、家族写真も撮ってくれました!
マノアの滝の後に向かったタンタラスの丘からの景色がまた壮大でした。
息子たちも感動してました。
そこで食べるサンドイッチもとっても美味しかったです!
お勧めのツアーです。
次回はまたこちらの会社の別のプランに参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。
Clothes that can get dirty, towels, and drinks are essential.
汚れてもいい服、タオル、飲み物必須です。
Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback! We are honored to hear that you enjoyed the hiking in the tropical rainforest of Hawaii and the breathtaking views from Tantalus. We are also very pleased that your sons were satisfied with the experience. We look forward to having you join us for another plan next time! Once again, thank you.
とても素敵なご感想をありがとうございます!ハワイの熱帯雨林、マノアの滝のハイキングやタンタラスの丘からの絶景をお楽しみいただけたとのことで、スタッフ一同とても光栄に思います。息子様たちにもご満足いただけたこと、大変嬉しく思います。次回もぜひ別のプランにご参加いただけることを楽しみにしております★ 改めて、ありがとうございました。
You can have 100% fun even if you don't understand English, but I think you'll enjoy it 120% if you do! (There was an instructor assigned to our group who explained things here and there. However, since we didn't understand English, we could only guess from others' reactions that it was something about something, but we didn't know the details, haha.)
In our case, a Japanese person explained how to use the lockers and the meeting time at the very beginning (you can receive a paper with explanations in Japanese), and I think it would have been much harder without that person. However, there is a Japanese video for horseback riding, and the instructor speaks necessary things in broken Japanese (like "pull to the right"), so I think it will be fine!
Each horse has its own personality, some are laid-back while others are more energetic, but all of them are smart, so you can enjoy just riding! The sun is strong, so please make sure to apply sunscreen. I got more tanned than at the beach, haha.
I've written a lot, but I'm satisfied with the experience! Many of my friends have done it too, and everyone said it was worth it. You can't ride for a full two hours in Japan, so I really think it was a valuable experience!
英語がわからなくても100%楽しめますが、英語がわかれば120%楽しめると思います!(グループに1人インストラクターの方がついてくださるのでその方が所々で説明してくださってました。が、私たちは英語がわからなかったので他の人の反応で「なんかのなんか」であることは察しましたが詳しくはわかりませんでした笑)
私たちの場合、1番最初に日本人の方がロッカーの使い方や集合時間など説明してくださいましたが(日本語の説明の紙はいただけます)その方がいなければもっと大変だったと思います。
が、乗馬自体は日本語のビデオがありますし、インストラクターの方がカタコトの日本語で必要なことは話してくださるので(「右引っ張って」等)大丈夫だと思います!!
お馬さんによってのんびりさん、しっかりさん、等性格もありますが、どの子もかしこいので基本は乗っているだけで楽しめます!
日差しは強いので日焼け止めはしっかり塗ってください。私は海より焼けました笑
色々書きましたが、結果満足です!
私の周りの友人もやっている子が多かったのですが、みんなやって良かったと言ってました。
日本ではたっぷり2時間乗馬をすることは出来ないので、本当に貴重な経験が出来たと思います!!
When you select a start time, the schedule will show the time, but that is not confirmed. The actual time may be earlier or later, so please make sure to check your email and voucher to see if it alig
開始時間を選択するとスケジュールの時間が出てきますが、それが確定ではありません。実際の時間は早かったり遅かったりするので、自分たちの想像通りになっているのか、必ずメールとバウチャーを確認してください!
I chose a day that seemed to have good weather in advance and made a reservation, so I was able to see the best sunset and starry sky. I prepared for the cold, but the guide was very kind, so I wasn't cold at all. The sandwiches that were served along the way were tastier than I expected. The stories about constellations, the observatory, and when Mauna Loa erupted were very interesting. The guide was very gentlemanly and friendly, which was great. Thank you.
事前に天気の良さそうな日を選んで予約したので、最高の夕日と星空が見えました。
寒さ対策をしていきましたが、ガイドの方がとても優しくしてくださったので、全く寒くありませんでした。
途中出てくるサンドイッチは思った以上においしかった。
星座の話や観測所の話マウナロアが噴火したときの話はとても面白かった。ガイドの方はとても紳士的で友好的でとても良かったありがとう。
They provide cold weather gear, but it's better to bring your own long sleeves and gloves. The summit is colder than you might imagine. If you're worried about altitude sickness or motion sickness, it
防寒具は貸してくれるが、長袖や手袋などは持参した方がよい。山頂は想像以上に寒い。
高山病や乗り物酔いが心配な人は、酔い止めを飲んでおくと良い。オフロードの区間は結のガタガタ揺れる。
I was picked up near the hotel and went to Haleiwa Town on the North Shore via Dole Plantation. The guide's stories were very enjoyable! I learned a lot about Hawaii's history. They also informed us about the location of the restrooms in advance, showing great attention to detail. On the way back, we left early due to Hawaii's traffic issues, but we were taken back to the hotel, making it a fulfilling day. For those who are not confident in driving or who plan to drink alcohol, there is a shuttle service, and with more free time, everyone can enjoy their time as they wish. I highly recommend this tour! I would like to use it again!
ホテル近くまでピックアップしてもらい、ドールプランテーションを経由して、ノースショアのハレイワタウンに行きました。ガイドさんのお話もとても楽しかったです!ハワイの歴史、勉強になりました。トイレの場所などあらかじめ教えていただき気配りが行き届いていました。帰りはハワイの車の渋滞問題があると言う事で早めに帰路につきましたが、ホテルまで送っていただき充実の1日でした。車の運転は自信ないなーという方やアルコール飲まれる方は送迎あり、運転もしてもらえて自由時間多めなので各自思い思いの時間が過ごせるおすすめのツアーです。
又利用したいです!
Haleiwa Town was so much fun that time flew by! I recommend planning your visit to hit all the places you want to see. Giovanni was closed, but the garlic shrimp from the Korean lady's shop next door
ハレイワタウン、楽しすぎてあっ!という間に時間が経過💦行きたい所を計画的に回る事をしてお勧めします。ジョバンニがお休みでしたがお隣の韓国人のおばちゃんのお店のガーリックシュリンプ最高でした!
Thank you very much for participating in the Island Makana Tours. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. When you come to Hawaii again, please consider using Island Makana Tours. Mahalo!!
この度はアイランドマカナツアーズのツアーに参加していただき誠にありがとうございました。お客様がツアーをお楽しみいただけたようで良かったです。またハワイにお越しの際は、是非アイランドマカナツアーズをご利用くださいませ。Mahalo!!
Booked it for my family of 3. Our guide was awesome and funny. The view is beautiful! I just wished we could have stopped at the big dinosaur place so I could take some pics but otherwise it was very beautiful.
It was meant to be an active experience, but the slow driving in the buggy felt more like sightseeing, which was disappointing. The fact that only a maximum of two people can drive was also a challenge.
The local guide spoke only English, so I couldn't understand what was being said.
When I entered, there was someone who spoke Japanese and explained the experience options (there were several types, including horseback riding), which helped me know where to check in. However, if it had been only in English... that would have been terrifying.
アクティブな体験目的でしたが
バギーゆっくり運転で観光な感じで
期待はずれ。運転出来るのも最大2人なのも難。

何をしゃべっているか?なので
理解出来ず。
入館時に説明して頂いた方が日本語話せる方でしたので、体験内容(乗馬など数種類あり)により受付する場所がわかりましたが、英語だけだったとしたら、、、ゾッとします。
I cannot recommend this place for those who don't speak English.
It seems there are other places where you can have active experiences with a buggy, so I felt it might not be necessary to choose this
英語話せない人はオススメできません。
バギーは他の場所でアクティブな体験出来るところあるようなので、あえてこの場所チョイスでなくて良いかなと感じました。
For about two hours, my husband was driving while I sat in the passenger seat, and it was incredibly fun! I wore a helmet, goggles, and a bandana covering my mouth, so my whole face was covered, but the dust was intense, and my face ended up completely black, with my clothes covered in dust as well. However, it was a unique experience that I was very satisfied with!
約2時間、主人が運転で、私は助手席でしたが、めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです!
ヘルメットかぶってゴーグルもして、口をおおうバンダナもいただき顔全体をおおってましたが、砂ほこりがすごく顔も真っ黒で洋服も全てほこってましたが、なかなかできない体験だったので満足でした!
After it's over, I need to return to the hotel and take a shower. It's okay to wear clothes that can get dirty. My shoes didn't get that dirty.
終わってから一度ホテルに戻ってシャワーをあびる必要があります。
洋服は汚れても大丈夫な格好で。
靴はそんなによごれませんでした。
Giggles and his cousin where great tour guides. Very informative. Will highly recommend you guys to our friends.
The instructor closely follows up to ensure that participants can keep up, and they manage safety well. I highly recommend it!

It will definitely lead to muscle soreness the next day, but there's no doubt it's a very enjoyable activity!
翌日筋肉痛になりますが、とても気持ちいいアクティビティーなのは間違いないです!
So fun, very professional, and great guys leading our group.
It was thrilling and the best experience. I didn't expect it to be this much fun before participating. I will definitely join again when I go to Hawaii.
スリルがあって最高でした
参加前はこんなに楽しいとは思っていませんでした
またハワイに行ったら必ずまた参加します
We had a great time would do it again !! Water was warm!!
One of the very best tours I’ve ever been on. A must see/do activity while on Oahu. Johnny and Ikaika were super fun and informative guides. Thank you for the best time!
Even if it isn’t muddy, you will get very dusty. Bring a change of clothes for when you’re done.
This was my second dive. Diving from that height is addictive. I didn't feel scared at all, so it was just fun, and the instructor was cheerful, creating a great sense of camaraderie. I thought I wanted to be someone who could speak more English.
Photos and videos are sent to your smartphone 20 minutes after the dive, so you can see them right away. There's also a Japanese staff member at the reception, which is reassuring.
2回目のダイブでした。あの高さからのダイブは病みつきになります。自分は怖さを感じないのでとにかく楽しく、インストラクターの方も陽気で一体感を味わえます。英語がもっと喋れるやつになりたいと思いました。
写真、動画も飛んで20分後にはスマホへファイルが送られてすぐ見れます。受付にも1人日本人スタッフがいるので安心。

注意点はパラシュート開いた時に酔いに注意!今まで経験したことのない酔いがあります。必ず酔い止め飲むこと。寝不足や体調不良に絶対ならないように細心の注意を払って挑む事。水筒とエチケット袋持参。
You can fully enjoy horseback riding in the great outdoors for two hours. An instructor is present to provide riding advice as needed, so you can feel at ease.
Since horses are living creatures, they may make unpredictable movements, but that added to the emotional experience. Overall, they seemed calm and well-trained. I don't think you can enjoy horseback riding this much in Japan, so I initially thought it was expensive, but in the end, I was very satisfied with the cost performance.
2時間たっぷり大自然の中、乗馬を満喫することができます。インストラクターの方が1名ついてくれ、適宜乗り方のアドバイスをくれるので安心して過ごせます。
お馬さんは生き物なので予測不能な動きをすることもありますが、そこも含めてとても感動する体験でした。基本、みんな穏やかでしっかり調教されている印象です。日本ではこんなにたっぷり乗馬を楽しむことはできないと思うので、当初は高いかと思いましたが、終わってみればコスパの面でも大満足でした。
The sunlight is strong, and there are many places without shade, so I think it's a good idea to have sun protection and sunglasses! Also, it uses more stamina than I imagined, so be prepared for muscl
日差しが強く、日陰がない場所も多く通るので日焼け対策、サングラスはあったほうがいいと思います!あと想像以上に体力を使うので筋肉痛は要覚悟です。笑
Yoshi was so enthusiastic & the tour was so well organised. The sunset was spectacular! But the stars & planets he showed us made our night esp Saturn & Jupiter - just WOW!
I had some concerns about the language barrier, but after arriving, the explanations and activity descriptions were provided in Japanese, so I was able to participate in the activities without any issues. Also, being able to drive myself and visit various locations was very enjoyable, and the scenery was amazing everywhere! While I couldn't take photos while driving, it was great that we could stop at various photo spots along the way.
言語面での不安がありましたが、到着後の説明やアクテビティの説明も日本語でしてくださったので、問題なくアクテビティに望めました。また、自身で運転してロケ地巡りできるのもとても楽しく、景色がどこも最高でした!
運転中は撮影できませんが、ところどころ写真スポットにて止まることができるので、そこもよかったです。
The staff was funny and amazing. the views were beautiful. and the excursion was so much fun. would recommend to anyone and everyone.
wear shoes, clothes and hat you don't mind getting dirty. it was very dusty.
Kirsten made this trip an absolute delight for my family and me! This trip was fun, relaxing, and exciting at times. We loved how informative Kirsten was and especially enjoyed all of the local recommendations she shared. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique way to spend the day and see some beautiful views.
The sudden downpour soaked my pants, but it actually boosted my spirits. I was half in a reckless mood... haha.
夕立ち、大雨でパンツまでビショビショでしたが、かえってテンション上がりました。
半分ヤケクソで‥‥ 笑
If you're having doubts, I definitely think you should go for it. While saving money is important, I've come to realize that having unforgettable experiences is even more important.
迷いがあるなら絶対にやった方がいいと思います。
お金を貯めるのも大事だが、忘れられない経験をすることのほうが大事だと気付かされました。
I couldn't particularly sell the purchase of photos and videos. The disclaimer was in English, but I managed with a translation app. I waited for about an hour until the van arrived to pick me up afte

What a fun trip. I totally recommend this tour for the whole family. Chelsea was the BEST guide!
These whole experience was great !!!
The driver Was funny and knowledgeable
Best time
The best part is the guide took excellent pictures of everyone with the sunset and stars.
Very knowledgeable and answered all questions. Was very considerate and made sure all were ok during the trip.
Setup the telescope very well - we could see the rings of Saturn very clearly.
This is very first time for us to enjoy such beautiful sunset especially stargazing we have never seen before. I will strongly recommend Maui All Stars to my friends.
Our guide, Koki, did a fabulous job with the Sunset photos for each of us at the summit and also a great job getting everyone's photo with the stars. He was an excellent driver and went slowly on the bumpy gravel part of the drive.
Because Koki's Japanese dialect is not something most English speaking people understand, he needs to speak more slowly and distinctly. I had a great deal of trouble understanding him - seems like I could only catch 4 out of every 10 words, and that is not something I expected on this tour. Granted, out of the 10 people, there were 2 Japanese men and Koki spent a lot of time on the way home speaking only to them in Japanese.
So, I had very mixed feelings about this tour. I come to Hawaii at least a couple times a year and I would definitely ask more questions about the guide and his speaking and understanding ability before I take my nest tour.
Most participants were international travelers, but there were hardly any Japanese people on the tour. I worked hard to listen to the English being spoken and realized my lack of language skills. However, I was very satisfied with the tour overall. Although it was a group booking with one vehicle, I learned for the first time that if there are several participants in the group who want to drive, multiple group bookings are necessary, as only two people can drive in one vehicle.
ほとんどの参加者が、海外旅行客
ただし、日本人はほとんどいないツアー
一生懸命に英語の話を聞き、語学力のなさが実感
しかし、ツアーとしては非常に満足することが出来た
発注単位のグループで1台の車両であったが、運転したいグループ参加者が福数人いる場合は、グループ発注を複数回行わないと、1台の車両では2名しか運転できない事が初めて分かった
We gathered in the afternoon and made our way to the summit while taking breaks along the way. To avoid altitude sickness, we ascended slowly, and near the top, they flexibly adjusted our location based on the weather and the number of tourists. Although it was almost a full moon, we could see many stars, and the explanation using the telescope was very interesting. Next time, I would like to go during a different season, preferably close to a new moon.
You can borrow a jacket and gloves similar to ski wear, which provides considerable warmth, but it's also good to bring a down inner layer, a hat that covers your ears, and socks that don't expose your ankles. My husband wore down pants as well, so he was even more insulated from the cold.
午後集合.途中で休憩しながら頂上へ.高山病にならないよう,ゆっくりとあがってもらい,頂上付近では,天候や観光客の状況から,柔軟に場所を変えて対応してくれました.ほぼ満月に近い日程でしたが,星はたくさん見えましたし,天体望遠鏡での説明も,興味深かったです.今度は,違う季節で,かつ新月に近い時期に行ってみたいです.
スキーウェアのような上着と手袋をお借りできるので,かなりの防寒になりますが,ダウンのインナー,耳が隠れる帽子,足首が出ない靴下を持っていくとよいです.夫はダウンのパンツも履いたので,さらに寒さ知らずでした.
