All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I was a bit anxious about horseback riding for the first time, but the guide was very kind and I was able to enjoy it at a relaxed pace. The course had hills and was along the coast, so it was satisfying without getting boring.

I think it's a good idea to know about the riding posture from YouTube beforehand. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy a comfortable ride without any pain in my backside.

はじめての乗馬で不安もありましたが、ガイドさんも親切に対応いただきゆっくりした気持ちで回ることができました。コースも山あり、あり、海岸沿いと飽きることなく満足できました。
乗馬の際の姿勢は、ユーチューブで事前情報をしっていたほうがいいと思います。お陰でおしりが痛くなることもなく快適な乗馬が楽しめました

I called to change the pickup location the day before, and they kindly accommodated my request. It’s a reassuring experience with a company run by Japanese people. During the drive, they provided various information about Hawaii, which was enjoyable.

Pilot Teddy Nomura also shared many sightseeing spots during the flight. He spoke very well about the first-time experience of piloting. I was able to see rainbows multiple times, which was delightful.

After a short break (with plenty of snacks and juice), they changed the return shuttle to drop us off at Ala Moana Shopping Center. They recommended some affordable shops, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

I am very grateful to the couple who run the business. I had a wonderful experience and great memories. I would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

また、寄らせて頂きたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

On the day of the experience, although things didn't go as planned due to aircraft maintenance, the staff worked hard to find a solution, and in the end, I was able to experience the flight as scheduled. I am truly grateful to all the staff.

This was my second time experiencing flight training in my life, and I can only express my amazement! I was able to hear the communication with the control tower, feel the moment of takeoff, and see the tourist spots of Hawaii from the cockpit. It was truly the best experience! Even now, I look at the photos and videos every day and remember it fondly. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii! Thank you so much!

当日、機体整備の関係で予定通りにいかなかったものの、何とか手配が出来ないか模索してくださり、結果的に予定通り体験操縦ができることになり、スタッフの皆様に本当に感謝しています。
人生で2回目の体験操縦。ただただ感動の一言です！管制塔とのやり取りを聞けて、自分で離陸していく瞬間を感じられて、操縦席からハワイの観光地を見れて、本当に最高でした！今も写真や動画を見ながら、毎日思い出しています。次回ハワイに行くときも必ず参加したいと思います！本当にありがとうございました！

Since Sanae, a Japanese guide, showed us around, there were no problems at all! We enjoyed a two-hour horseback ride while taking in the beautiful scenery. My body is sore, but it was so much fun!

日本人のサナエさんが案内をしてくれたので、全く問題なかったです！綺麗な景色を見ながら2時間の乗馬。体が痛くなりますが、とっても楽しかったです。

I've been to Hawaii more than ten times, but I had never been to Kualoa Ranch until now. This time, we decided to give it a try. It was more fun than I expected. There were various activities, and there was a guide who spoke Japanese, which made it stress-free.

Next time, we decided to try horseback riding, and everyone was very excited about it. Thank you!

ハワイには10回以上行ってますが，クアロアランチには縁がなく今まで一回も行った事がなく、
今回取り敢えず行ってみようということになりました。
期待以上の楽しさでした。
いろんなアクティビティもあり，ガイドには日本語がわかる方もおり，ストレスフリーでした。

今度は，乗馬をしてみようということになり，とても盛り上がりました。
ありがとうございました。

My wife and I were on our honeymoon and came across the Kualoa ranch tour while searching for activities to do. We were not disappointed. We just did the Kaneohe sandbar boat tour and drove over after. As soon as we arrived you come to a well built facility that was easy to navigate and had everything from horse riding tours. Atvs. E bikes. Utvs. We checked it at the visitor center and it was quick and streamlined. We had time to get food and the açaí bowl was delicious. Once we got to the tub check in the guides were welcoming, friendly, funny and very informative. Once we started it was a blast. We got to learn about the ranch. The different mountains. The stories connected with the island and the ranch. And we got to see all the sites where they filmed movies like Jurassic park. Jurassic world. Kong and much more. It was such a great experience. 100% recommend this activity for anyone visiting Oahu.

You can speed through the magnificent nature on a buggy. You can feel the mystical power of the wind blowing from the sea to the mountains. While driving, you will take breaks at scenic spots and movie filming locations. Helmets, goggles, and snoods will be provided. The buggies get quite dirty from the dust, and since the movement also kicks up a lot of dust, it's best to wear casual clothing. If you avoid getting too close to the bushes along the road, shorts should be fine. Drivers will need to wear shoes.

雄大な自然の中をバギーで駆け抜けます
海から山に吹き抜ける風を受けて神秘的なパワーを感じられます
絶景スポットや映画ロケ地でところどころ休憩しながら運転してゆきます
ヘルメットとゴーグル、スヌードが渡されます
バギーは砂埃で結構汚れてます、移動も砂埃がひどいので、ラフな服装がよいです
バギーで道脇のブッシュなどに近づかなければ短パンでも大丈夫でしょう
運転者は靴を履かないとダメでしょう

The explanations were all in English and very fast. I couldn't understand anything at all. It would have been nice to have at least a Japanese instruction manual. Also, even if the distance was short, it was disappointing to just pass by places where other tour groups stopped.

説明が全て英語でしかも早い。全然わかりませんでした。せめて日本語の説明書があったら良かったのですが。また距離は短くても良いので他のツアーグループが立ち寄っているところを素通りするのは残念だった。

Lots of fun. Will do it again. Wish it had been longer. Thanks.

My first skydiving experience was with my buddy Derek D. He was a bit of a jokester, and even while we were on the plane, he managed to scare me a little. Just before the dive, we all did a fist bump to encourage each other to return safely, which made me realize, as expected, that even for professionals, it’s a dangerous activity. After the dive, that turned into high fives, which I thought was nice.

He taught me the basics in minimal Japanese. During the dive, my mouth got really dry, and I wanted to keep it closed, but I couldn't help but scream, so the sore throat afterward was quite something... The staff wore full-face masks, so they didn’t have to deal with dryness—lucky them! The freefall after the parachute opened was fun, but occasionally we picked up speed and made turns, which was thrilling. Also, my ears hurt for half a day due to the pressure changes. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!

初スカイダイビング
デレクDさんがバディでした
少しお茶目な方で、飛行機に乗ってる時も少し脅かされてました
ダイビング直前には皆でグータッチで、無事に帰還するように、励ますようなやり取りが何回もあり、当たり前ですがやはりプロでも危険なものなんだなと感じました
ダイビング後にはそれがハイタッチに変わります
これもなんか良いなと思いました

最低限の日本語で教えてくれます
ダイビング中は口がめっちゃ乾くので口を閉じたいのですが、叫ばずのは居られないので終わったあとの喉の痛さときたら…
スタッフの方たちはフルフェイスなので乾燥知らず、いいな〜笑
パラシュート開いた後の空中遊泳は楽しかったですが、たまーにスピードを出して旋回してくるのでこれまたドキドキ
あと、気圧の変化で耳が半日は痛かったです
とっても良い体験ができました

The buggy tour is incredibly fun as you can race through nature! The guide speaks English, but there are also Japanese staff, so I felt comfortable participating. Riding the buggy through the magnificent nature felt amazing. The scenery is just too beautiful. I think you should definitely join. However, be prepared for your clothes, face, and bag to get muddy. Expect to get quite dirty! Your face will be covered in sand, but you'll encounter sights that are worth it!

バギーでのツアーは自然の中を駆けめぐれるので、最高に楽しいです！
英語でのガイドですが、日本人スタッフもいてるので安心して参加できました。壮大な自然のなかバギーで駆け巡る事はとても気持ちが良かったです。景色が綺麗すぎます。参加するべきだと思います。
ただ、服、顔、鞄すべてが泥んこになります。
相当な汚れを覚悟して参加してください！
顔が砂まみれになるけど、それ以上の光景に出会えます！

I wanted to go horseback riding and see the magnificent scenery, so I made a reservation with my husband. However, since there were ups and downs, I didn't have much time to enjoy the view as it was my first experience riding. Since we were in the sun for a long time, sunscreen is a must. The guide was English-speaking, so you need to have a certain level of understanding; otherwise, you'll just be looking at the scenery. Unfortunately, we only stopped for about three minutes at the main highlight, so I wish we had a bit more time. I'm grateful that the guide sends the photos he takes along the way to my phone!

乗馬をして雄大な景色を見たいと思い主人と予約しましたが、アップダウンがあるので乗馬初体験には景色を楽しむ余裕が薄れてました。
日向が続くので日焼け止め必須です。
ガイドさんが1人・英語なのである程度理解出来ないと景色だけになります。
残念なのが、1番見どころの場所で3分程度しか止まらないのでもう少し時間が欲しいです。
ガイドさんが途中撮影してくれる写真を携帯に送ってくれるのは有り難いです！

My elderly parents, who were just within the participation requirements, also joined and had a great time without any worries! Perhaps because there were many Japanese participants, we felt reassured and enjoyed the tour with a Japanese guide. The guide not only took us to the locations but also provided detailed explanations about telescopes and stars, which were all fascinating and exciting. It was really great to have a tour to a place we couldn't visit on our own.

For sharing DSLR photos, iPhone users can use AirDrop, while others can share via Google Drive. All photos are shared with everyone who participated, so those who are concerned should take note. The photos we received were all beautiful, and I’m satisfied to have memories of the starry sky that wouldn’t show up on a smartphone!

Regarding the disbanding time, we stayed at Kingsland and arrived at the supermarket in time for the last shuttle bus, so I think those without rental cars can feel at ease. Thank you very much!

参加条件ぎりぎりの高齢の両親も行きましたが、何の不安もなく楽しめました！
日本人の参加が多かったからか日本語ガイドで安心して楽しめました。ガイドさんはただ連れて行ってくれるだけではなくて、望遠鏡や星についての説明も詳しくてどれも興味深くてわくわくしました。個人では行けない先ですので、ツアーがあって本当に良かったです。
一眼レフの写真はiPhoneユーザーはAirDrop、それ以外の人にはGoogleドライブを使って共有してくれます。同時に参加した全員に全部の写真を共有する形なので、気になる方は注意が必要です。
いただいた写真はどれもきれいで、スマホには写らない星空も思い出に残せて満足です！
解散時間について、私達はキングスランド宿泊でしたがシャトルの最終バスに間に合うようにスーパーに到着したのでレンタカーがない方も安心かと思います。
ありがとうございました！

I had a great time with the two-hour horseback riding! The course felt like a hiking trail, but since the horses handled both the uphill and downhill parts, it was less tiring. Being on horseback also gave me a higher vantage point, making the stunning views even more beautiful!

There were about six participants and two staff members accompanying us. The horses my family and I rode were calm and didn't require much guidance, so we seemed to have a good match.

However, be aware that the round sign for Jurassic Park, famous at Kualoa Ranch, was not on the course!

During the horseback riding, you need to store most of your belongings in a locker for $5 a day. Only a drink bottle and a small camera or smartphone are allowed in a small bag provided to you. Since you’ll be holding the reins with one hand, you can take photos with one hand when you get used to the rhythm. Besides selfies, they also take paid photos along the way with your smartphone.

Lunch can be purchased at the cafeteria on-site for about $15-20. The portions are quite substantial, so sharing might be a good idea if two people are participating. Be mindful that there can be a long line during lunchtime, and it takes some time to get your food. Also, you need to board the return bus earlier than the scheduled departure time, so timing is important.

Overall, I was very satisfied and felt it was one of the activities I was glad to have done!

2時間たっぷりの乗馬でとても楽しかったです！
コース的にはハイキングコースのような感じですが、登りも下りもお馬さんがやってくれるので疲労度も少なく、馬上なので視座も高くて絶景が更に美しく見えました！
参加者6人くらいにスタッフ2人がついてくれました。私や家族が乗った馬は大人しくて指示もあまり必要なく、相性が良かったようです。
ただ、クアロアランチで有名なジュラシックパークの丸い看板はコースに入っていなかったのでその点は注意です…！
乗馬の際は、1日5ドルのロッカーに荷物のほとんどを預けます。貸与される小さいバッグに入る、飲み物ボトルとスマホや小さいカメラのみ持ち込みが許されます。基本的に片手は手綱を握っているので、写真はリズムに慣れてきた頃に好きなタイミングで片手で撮る感じです。自撮り以外は途中で有料写真と手持ちのスマホでの写真を撮ってくれます。
ランチは施設内のカフェテリアで15-20ドルくらいで購入できます。結構しっかりボリュームあるので2人参加ならシェアでも良いかも。お昼時は結構並ぶし提供まで時間がかかるのと、帰りのバスが出発時間より早めに乗車する必要があるのでタイミング注意です。
全体的にかなり満足度高くて、やって良かったなと思うアクティビティのひとつでした！

I was picked up in front of the Twin Fin Hotel and participated in the tour. The pickup was smooth, just by saying my name, and the bus was comfortable.

At the location, there were various counters, and even if you don't know where to go, the tour staff will kindly guide you. The buggy counter is located to the left after passing the ticket counter on the right side of the entrance, and it's fine to line up 10-15 minutes before your activity.

I recommend leaving everything except your smartphone in the lockers on the left at the entrance, as you might get covered in sand. The lockers are easy to use.

The buggy activity was amazing! Even if you're a paper driver, you can drive, and if it seems too dangerous, the guide will take over. The two guides were very entertaining, and they took many wonderful photos for us. However, some of the main movie filming locations are just passed slowly, so I recommend not forgetting to take pictures.

ツインフィンホテル前でピックアップしてもらいツアーに参加しました。
ピックアップも名前を言うだけでスムーズ、バスも快適でした。
現地では様々なカウンターがあり、どこかわからなくてもツアーの方に聞けばにこやかに教えてくれました。
バギーのカウンターは入り口を抜けて右手のチケットカウンターを過ぎた左手にあり、10-15分前に並べばOKです。
カウンターに並ぶ前に、スマホ以外の全てを入り口左のロッカーに預けることをお勧めします。砂に塗れます。ロッカーも使いやすいです。

バギーアクティビティーは最高でした！
ペーパードライバーでも運転できましたし、あまりに危険そうならガイドが代わってくれるとのことでした。ガイドの2人もとても面白くて、素敵な写真をたくさん撮ってもらいました。
ただ、メインの映画ロケ地のいくつかは横をゆっくり通り過ぎるだけになるので、忘れずに写真を撮ることをお勧めします。

I went to the ticket counter around 10:45 as it said to check in at that time, and I received a paper voucher. It was crowded, so the actual ticket was issued around 10:58. The paper stated that horseback riding was from 11:30, so I thought it would be fine to arrive around that time, but when I got there at 11:30, I was told it was too late and I couldn't ride. My English isn't fluent, so I couldn't grasp the nuances, but it felt like they meant that 11:30 was too late since there was an explanatory video and such.

Isn't it normal to arrive at the time stated, 11:30? If there was a gathering time before that, it should have been indicated. I was really looking forward to it, so I'm very disappointed. My friend and I are both let down. When I explained the situation to the ticket center staff, they somehow allowed us to join another tour, but I really wanted to go horseback riding.

10:45にチェックインと書いてあったのでチケットカウンターにそのくらいの時間に行き、バウチャーのような紙を出してもらいました。混雑していたので実際に発券されたのはおよそ10:58頃。紙には乗馬は11:30〜と書いてあり、その時間に行けば良いのだと思って11:30頃に行ったらもう遅いと言われ乗れなかった。英語が流暢なわけではないので細かいニュアンスが分からないが、説明のビデオ等があるから11:30じゃ遅いという感じだった。
11:30〜と書かれていたらその時間に行ってしまうのが普通じゃないでしょうか？その前に集合ならその集合時間を記載してもらわないと分からない。
とても楽しみにしていたので残念でならないです。
私も友人もガッカリです。チケットセンターの人に事情を説明したらなんとか他のツアーに参加させていただけましたが、乗馬したかったです。

Educational, fun, and awe inspiring views all around this North Shore Eco Tour of the 10,000 acre ranch. Ryan was knowledgeable, showing us all of the different flora and wild boar trails, and went out of his way to provide extra help for me getting in and out of the vehicle and in and out of the water. Had a great time at the "playground" being the only participant to fall completely off my seat! What a great time it was bouncing around the property and basking in nature's beauty.

During our visit to Hawaii, we decided to book a tour to Diamond Head for Sunrise Hiking. It was the best decision we made. Blue Lei Hawaii Tours provided excellent customer service from the beginning to the end. The driver arrived early and was very kind and helpful. We also received a delicious donut at the end of the hike! I'm glad we chose Blue Lei Hawaii Tours, and I would highly recommend using them for any of your tour needs.

It was our 2nd time at the summit after 14 years with your company and we were more concerned about the summit weather due to last time it was so windy and cold to stay outside of the car.

But, the weather this time thanks to god it was good to watch the sunset.

Our driver was so nice was caring, professional skill of guiding and a gentleman.

He was caring everyone.
This made our trip OUTSTANDING.

I would recommend this trip to anyone eligible it is good tour with a Mercedes 4WD van with 14 passengers.

I recently had an amazing horse riding experience, and I couldn’t recommend it more! The ocean views were absolutely breathtaking, and the overall ride was incredibly peaceful and enjoyable. As a beginner, I felt completely at ease, thanks to the friendly and knowledgeable guides. It’s the perfect activity for anyone looking to relax and take in the natural beauty of the surroundings. I’ll definitely be coming back for another ride!

The evening of our tour wasn't the best as the clouds wouldn't leave the top of Mt. Haleakala. So, we didn't see the sunset nor the stars. Yoshi did take us to to other locations as we descended Haleakala and FINALLY the stars could be seen. We viewed the heavenlies for at least 30 minutes if not more. What fun!! And Yoshi provided us with coats and blankets to keep us warm. The donuts and hot coffee and tea was appreciated as well. It was a fun evening.

After the reception, you watch a Japanese safety video, and then it's time to start horseback riding. The horses are incredibly smart, so even beginners can ride with confidence. They will first teach you how to stop, start, and turn left and right, but since the horses are intelligent, they will walk and stop on their own without much input from you. Once you start, you won't get off the horse, and you'll ride in a line for a solid two hours or more through the great outdoors. The horses are equipped with bags where you can store drinks, so it's possible to drink while riding. Additionally, taking photos with your smartphone is allowed, so you can capture the beautiful natural scenery while riding. In Japan, you can't have such a long horseback riding experience, so I'm really glad I participated.

受付後、日本語の注意事項映像を見たら、乗馬してスタートです。馬はすごい賢いので、素人でも安心して乗馬できます。止まり方、スタートの仕方、左右方向への方向転換は最初に教えてくれますが、馬が賢いので、こちらが操作しなくても、歩いたり、止まったりしてくれます。スタートしたら、馬から降りることはなく、一列になってひたすら大自然の中を、みっちり２時間＋α、乗馬し続けます。飲み物等を入れれる袋を馬に装備しているため、乗馬しながら、飲み物を飲むことは可能です。また、スマホでの写真撮影はＯＫのため、乗馬しながら大自然の風景を撮影することができます。日本では、こんなに長い時間、馬に乗る経験はできないため、参加して本当に良かったと思います。

It was great!! Relaxing...and the tour guides were SUPER!!!! Can't wait to visit again!

Driving the buggy can be a bit nerve-wracking at first, but you'll get used to it if you keep at it. I had so much fun driving for over two hours! You can enjoy a different side of Hawaii compared to Waikiki.

After the buggy ride, the lunch break before getting on the bus is short, so you should either order right away as soon as the activity ends or stick to something simple like a sandwich, otherwise, you won't have time to eat due to the high number of participants.

バギーの運転は最初不安があるものの、続けていれば慣れます。二時間以上運転してとにかく楽しかった！ワイキキとは違うハワイを満喫できます。
バギーの後、バスに乗る前のランチの時間が短いので、アクティビティが終了次第すぐに注文するか、サンドウィッチなど簡単なもので済ますかしないと、利用者が多いので食事をする時間がなくなります。

This was these best. Our guide Sarah was great! We received a history lesson along with great AV instructions. We enjoyed the entire staff all friendly and informative. Thank you Sarah and Team.. We will see you next year.

I participated in a tour of Manoa Falls✌️
It wasn't just a trek; we learned about the plants along the way, found wild avocados, and touched a mahogany tree. I never knew the surface of a mahogany trunk, which becomes high-end furniture, looked like that (I won't say, so go touch it yourself).
Our guides, Jason and Tomomi, were amazing✨
We had lunch while overlooking Waikiki from Tantalus Hill.
The tuna sandwich from the popular spot, Andy's, was exquisite.
It's such a great deal since you can eat without waiting in line‼️
The view from the hilltop was fantastic, with Diamond Head on the left, the high-rise buildings of Waikiki in the center, and to the right, you could see from Honolulu Airport to Pearl Harbor, as Tomomi said, "half of Oahu Island."
The weather was perfect today, and we could even see Molokai Island faintly in the distance️.
It was a tour where you can feel nature close to Honolulu.

マノア滝のツアーに参加✌️
ただのトレッキングではなく、道沿いの植物の話や野生のアボカドを見つけたり、マホガニーの木に触ったり。高級家具になるマホガニーの幹の表面があんなだったなんて（言いませんよ　さわりに行ってください）
ジェイソンさんとともみさんのガイド最高でした✨
タンタラスの丘でワイキキを眺めながら、昼食。
人気店Andysのツナサンドは絶品
お店に並ばずに食べられるんですからお得感満載です‼️
丘の展望台からの眺めは素晴らしく、左手にダイアモンドヘッド、中央にワイキキの高層ビル群、右手にホノルル空港からパールハーバーと、ともみさんいわく「オワフ島の半分が見える」ものでした。
今日は天気も最高で、遠くモロカイ島までうっすら見えました️
ホノルル近場で自然を感じられるツアーでした

It was a fun experience to fully enjoy nature! However, the guide only spoke English, so I couldn't understand anything and couldn't enjoy it to the fullest. Although the sand dust flew around and made my face completely black, it was an experience that you can't have in Japan to ride through while looking at the sea and mountains on a buggy.

大自然を満喫出来る楽しい体験でした！
ただ、ガイドは英語のみなので全く英語が分からず楽しみ切れませんでした。
砂ほこりが飛んで顔が真っ黒になるけどバギーで駆け抜けながら海や山を眺めるのは日本では出来ない体験でした。

Great experience. Worth it to rent the camera. Great views of the falls.

We had such a great time here. The staff was very friendly. The views were amazing and we were able to feed animals and drive freely around the ATV course

It was my first horseback riding experience, and the instructor was kind, fun, and led us accurately. I thoroughly enjoyed the two hours of riding in the great outdoors.

初めての乗馬体験でしたが、インストラクターさんが優しく楽しく的確にリードしてくれて、大自然の中での2時間の乗馬を満喫しました。
