All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

Danny and Alex were amazing! Highly recommend!!!!

We had such a great time. Our guides were so patient and fun. I would say to prepare for a few uphill hikes to next line but guides stayed with us all the time. Their experience, humor and knowledge made the experience a lot of fun. I would definately recommend to the new zipper and to the experienced. Just do it. Ask for Koa and Talen.

We took water but the guides had plenty. The views were amazing.

Guide was very informative and friendly. I recommend this trip.

An experience you can't have in Japan!
It was more thrilling than I expected.
I can't speak English at all, but I was taught in a way that was easy to understand, so I had no problems.
However, it does get quite dirty...
I recommend participating in clothes that you can change into or that you don't mind getting dirty!
You can also enjoy stunning views, so I want to join a different activity next time!

日本ではできない体験！
思ってた以上に迫力満点でした。
英語は全くできませんが、わかりやすく教えてもらえた困ることはありませんでした。
ただ、かなり汚れます…
着替え、もしくは汚れても良い服での参加をおすすめします！
絶景も楽しめるので、次回は違うアクティビティで参加したいと思っています！

We've been on many excursions during our travels, but this one was by far the most memorable and breathtaking. Yoshi, our guide, was incredibly friendly and professional—one of the best we've ever had. We appreciated the seamless pick-up and drop-off service, and Yoshi made the long ride enjoyable with his great conversation. He's also perfectly bilingual in English and Japanese, which was a huge plus.

The view from the Haleakalā summit and the experience of watching the sunset were beyond words. We loved every moment of it and wouldn't hesitate to do it again!

It was my first buggy tour, and I had a great time. I felt reassured by the fact that there was a place to switch drivers and that there was an explanation video in Japanese. I prepared long pants and closed-toe shoes as they were required, but there were many people wearing sandals and shorts, and it seemed like no particular attention was paid to that.

初めてのバギーツアーでしたが楽しかったです．
途中で運転手が交代できるところや日本語での説明ビデオがあったことなどが安心できました．
長ズボンとつま先の覆われた靴が必須とのことで，このために準備して行きましたがサンダルに短いズボンという方もたくさんいらっしゃり，特に注意もされていなかったようでした．

I was anxious until I got on, but once I flew, it was refreshing!
Even though the aircraft is small, it flies steadily.
The speed is slow enough to enjoy the scenery, and 30 minutes goes by in no time.
However, it's scary when I'm the one piloting; the aircraft responds to even the slightest movement of the control stick.

乗るまでは不安でしたが、いざ飛んでみれば気分爽快！
機体は小さくても安定した飛行です。
速度もゆっくりで景色を楽しむことができ、３０分はあっという間です。
でも自分が操縦する時だけはコワいですね、操縦桿の少しの動きに機体が反応します。

I had a great time!
When we arrived at the site by shuttle bus, we were divided into Japanese and others, and the Japanese staff explained the day's schedule to us. (I'm not sure if it was because there were many Japanese people or if this is always the case.)
We had free time until our buggy ride, during which we could eat lunch and take photos. (You can buy burgers and other food on-site.)
Before the buggy ride started, we watched an explanatory video in both Japanese and English.
Driving the buggy wasn't difficult, and we could switch drivers along the way. Even my wife, who usually doesn't drive much, was able to drive without any issues!
Also, since it had rained on and off from the day before to the day of the event, I was worried about dust, but there was hardly any, and we didn't get dirty at all!

とても楽しかったです！
送迎バスで現地に到着したら、日本人とその他に分けられた後、日本人のスタッフに当日の流れの説明をいただけました。(日本人が多かったからか、もしくはいつもなのか分かりませんが)
バギーの時間まではお昼ご飯を食べたり、写真を撮ったりと自由時間。(現地でバーガーなど買えます。)
バギー開始前は、また日本語と英語に分かれて説明動画を見れました。
バギーの運転は難しくなく、途中で運転手交代交代もでき、普段ほとんど運転をしない妻も難なく運転できました！
また、前日から当日にかけて、雨が時々降ったりだったので心配していた砂埃はほとんどなく、汚れることもありませんでした！

We progressed steadily through the mountainous film location in a line. Along the way, we enjoyed beautiful views of the ocean and had our photos taken, which we could share via Bluetooth afterward. The horses were truly clever, and we had a luxurious time. The staff members were also very lively. The course lasted just under two hours, and it went by in a flash. However, since we never got off the horses, I realized at the end that my legs (mainly my hips) were shaking without me noticing. There was a group of three women in their 50s and 60s who completed the ride, so I think it's manageable, but those who are extremely unsure of their physical stamina might want to reconsider.

　映画ロケ地の山中を列になってぐんぐん進んで行きます。途中で美しい海を見たり、写真を撮ってもらて、終了後にBluetoothで共有してもらえます。お馬さんたちは本当に利巧であり、贅沢な時間を過ごさせていただきました。スタッフの方々も生き生きしています。1コース2時間弱、あっという間でした。ただし、一度も馬から降りないので、終了時には気づかぬうちに脚（主に股関節）がガクガクしました。同じ時間帯になった50‐60代の女性3人組の皆さんも完遂していましたので、なんとかなるとは思いますが、体力に極端に自信がない方は辞めた方が良いかもしれません。

We drove around the filming locations at a speed of about 30 km/h in a buggy. I’m embarrassed to say that at 156 cm tall, my feet barely reached the pedals while driving (crying). Since I tend to get car sick more than anyone else, I drove myself, but I recommend that shorter individuals have someone else drive. You can drive if you present a Japanese driver's license.

Several buggies moved along a bumpy road, providing an exciting experience that is hard to come by in Japan. The staff provided explanations during stops, but there were many things I didn’t understand, so I regret not studying more English to enjoy it even more. We wore bandana-like dust covers, but even so, we still got dust on our faces and bodies, so I recommend avoiding your favorite outfits. There are lockers available at the facility (I think it was around 1000 yen, and you could access them multiple times). After the buggy ride, you can wash your hands with water and soap, but the dust is hard to get off, so if you’re not going straight back to the hotel, it might be a good idea to bring an extra T-shirt.

All of the above has become a cherished memory of my trip, so overall, I am very satisfied. Due to the weak yen, prices have more than doubled compared to the past... (crying).

　時速３０㎞程でバギーを運転しながら、ロケ地を巡っていきます。お恥ずかしながら身長が156㎝ですと、運転中脚がぎりぎり着くか着かないかの状態でした（泣。当方は誰よりも車酔いをしやすい体質なので自ら運転させてもらいましたが、低身長の方は相手の方に運転してもらうのをお勧めします。日本の免許証を提示すれば運転ができます。

　ガタガタした道を数台が連なって進んでいきます。日本ではなかなか経験できない、excitingな体験でした。途中下車を挟みながら、スタッフの方々が説明をしてくれます。わからない内容も多かったので、もう少し英語の勉強をしていけば、より楽しめたのになぁと後悔しています。バンダナのような埃除けをつけた状態で回るのですが、それでも顔や体に砂埃を被るので、お気に入りの服装は避けることをお勧めします。施設にはロッカーがあります（1000円くらいだった気がします。何度も出し入れ可能でした。）。バギー終了後に水道＋石鹸で手洗いできますが、砂埃はいかんせん落ちにくいので、ホテル直帰でなければTシャツなどを余分に持っていくとよいかもしれません。

　上記は全て旅の想い出になっているので、総合的には大満足です。円安の影響で、昔と比べて倍以上にはなっていましたが・・・（泣）

Great tour and delicious treat, perfect way to combine a tour!

Book early we found the Wailua river tours were booking quick!!

We expected a better guide around the park then just an app but the bikes were in good condition

Wonderful day on the water, good pace to take a day away from the ocean and the heat!

A great day away from Waikiki and into the wilderness- with 4 boys this was a fun one!

Lots of gorgeous ocean scenery but you do get dirty! fun dirty!!

There were quite a few participants on the day, and we set off in two vehicles. Fortunately for our group, which consisted only of Japanese people, we had a guide named Shotaro who spoke Japanese and had a middle name. At the Onizuka Visitor Information Center, the fog thickened along the route to the summit, and we waited for about 30 minutes, worried that the tour might be canceled. However, the fog cleared, and we made it to the summit. The view was spectacular, with Maui Island peeking out beyond the sea of clouds. After descending to the parking lot, we enjoyed stargazing under a sky where the moon was at 29%, and we could see the Milky Way quite well. While sipping warm cocoa, we observed the night sky with the naked eye (including moving satellites) and used a telescope to view the moon's craters, taking many photos. It was a wonderful memory.

当日の参加者が結構多く、2台に分乗して出発しましたが、日本人だけのグループだった我々には運良くショウタロウさんというミドルネームをもった日本語のできるガイドさんがついてくれました。オニズカ・ビジター韻フメーションセンターでは山頂までのの区間で霧が濃くなり30分ほど待機、ツアーが中止になるのではとヒヤヒヤしましたが、なんとか霧が晴れて山頂へ。山頂からは雲海の向こうにマウイ島が顔を出しているのが確認できるなど最高の景色でした。途中の駐車場まで降りてからの星空観察は月が29％の状態で天の川観察もまずまず。暖かいココアを頂きながら肉眼で星空（動いている人工衛星も）、望遠鏡で月のクレーターを観察し、写真も沢山撮って頂きました。とても良い記念になりました。

The sunset was amazing. The guide was very kind and provided excellent service, making it a great experience. The starry sky was ordinary since we viewed it from a bright area after coming down from the mountain. I was a bit disappointed because my expectations were high.

サンセットが最高でした。
ガイドさんもとてもやさしく、丁寧な対応で最高の体験ができました。
星空は山から降りてきて、まわりも明るいところから見たので普通でした。
期待が大きかったので少し残念

We had a great time on this trip!
It was just what we needed after so much time in the ocean.
Our guide Makana was very nice and knowledgeable about all things Kauai.
Her assistants were very nice as well.
Kauai is a very beautiful island. So lush with greenery and waterfalls.
I told the other people at our condo about our float trip. Hopefully they'll have the same great experience we had.
Lunch was filling and delicious. Good choice of sandwiches!
Makana had everyone sing happy birthday to my son in the last tunnel! Big fun!
By the end of the trip I would say we were all O'Hana.

What an experience. 10,000 feet up above the clouds and then to watch a mesmerising sunset followed by Stargazing and seeing the moon up close all with a fantastic guide. It all felt so surreal and would reccommend to anyone as a bucket list thing to experience with memories to last a lifetime.

It was absolutely amazing! This time, I went with my family of four. The exhilaration and indescribable feeling are something you can't experience anywhere else. Skydiving doesn't have the same sense of distance from the ground as bungee jumping, so it's not scary at all. If you haven't tried it yet, I definitely encourage you to give it a shot!

やっぱり最高でした！今回は家族4人で飛びました。
この爽快感と何とも言えない感覚は他で味わえるものではないです。スカイダイビングは陸との距離感が全くないのでバンジージャンプのような怖さはありません。
未体験の方は是非チャレンジしてみて下さい！

The horses were well-trained, and I felt safe riding even on steep slopes. The female guide was also kind and offered to take photos along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed the two-hour horseback ride.

馬がよく調教されていて急勾配も安心して乗ることができました。ガイドの女性も親切で途中で写真を撮ってくれるサービスもありました。2時間の乗馬で十分楽しみました。

It was absolutely amazing! Skydiving, which was on my bucket list, was something I thought might be a bit scary. While waiting below, I was nervous because the parachutes were arriving so quickly! But once I got up there, the height was so great that I didn't feel scared at all, haha. It was completely not scary! I also heard that the person jumping with me had done it about 20,000 times, which made me feel very reassured! Since returning home, I've been recommending it to all my friends.

まーーじで最高でした！
人生でやりたいことリストに入っていたスカイダイビング！ちょっと怖いかなって思ってて、下で待機してる時パラシュートの到着する速度が早くてビビってました！
けど上まで行ったらもう怖いとかないくらいの高さでw
全く怖くなかったです！
いっしょに飛んでくれる人も20000回ほど飛んでいると聞いてとても安心しました！
帰国して友達にみんなに勧めています

I was able to climb to nearly the summit at an altitude of 4,200 meters (the actual summit is a sacred site and cannot be accessed on tours), which was a very valuable experience that I could never have in Japan. Despite it being mid-summer, the perceived temperature was below 10 degrees Celsius, but they provided jackets and gloves, so I was completely comfortable and not cold at all. The sandwiches for dinner were also delicious, perfectly seasoned to match the thin air at the summit.

日本では決して体験できない標高4,200メートルのほぼ頂上(頂上は聖地のためツアーでは行けない)まで上ることができ、とても貴重な体験ができました。
真夏にもかかわらず体感気温は10度以下になりますが、ジャケットや手袋を貸していただけるのでまったく寒くなく過ごせました。
夕食のサンドイッチも頂上の空気の薄さに合わせた塩気でとても美味しかったです。

I participated in a movie location tour while horseback riding! The tour lasted about two hours round trip. It was both of our first times riding, but the staff (mostly English-speaking) were very helpful in teaching us, so I think even beginners will be fine. Riding through the great outdoors and slowly visiting the filming locations was a luxurious experience, and I was very satisfied. One thing to note is that the tour goes on even in the rain (you can borrow a raincoat for horseback riding for free), so it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes, or if you don't want to deal with the rain, consider joining another tour (using a bus).

乗馬しながらの映画撮影地巡りに参加しました！時間は往復2時間のツアーでした。夫婦とも乗馬は初めてでしたが、スタッフ(基本英語対応)の方達が丁寧に教えてくれて、すぐにお馬に乗れたので、未経験の方でも大丈夫だと思います。大自然を馬に乗ってゆっくり撮影地をめぐるのは贅沢な時間ですし、大満足でした。注意点としては、雨でも行くので(乗馬用のカッパは無料で借りれます)、着替え持ってくか、雨いやなら他のツアー(バス利用)に参加するのもいいかもです。

■Guide
The guide was friendly, kind, and provided thorough explanations. The shuttle bus was on time, and they offered a free photography service.

■Tour
The weather was good, and the content matched what was stated on the website. The hot cocoa served while stargazing was very delicious.

■Altitude Sickness Measures
We climbed gradually with breaks, but there were moments when I found it a bit hard to breathe. However, following the guide's instructions to take deep breaths helped improve my condition, and I was able to enjoy the experience without any issues until the end. It seems there is oxygen available for emergencies, so I think it's best not to push yourself too hard.

■Free Photography Service
The guide took photos with their camera and shared them via AirDrop. It seems to be a cultural practice, but since all the photos taken are distributed, my pictures were also shared with other participants. If you're concerned about this, you can politely decline and take your own photos.

■Aside
A couple I met on a snorkeling tour in Maui two days prior was also here, and even though I was participating alone, I was able to enjoy conversations with them. Fortunately, many others were friendly as well, and we were able to take photos of each other.

■ガイド
気さくで親切、丁寧な説明、無料の撮影サービス、時間通りの送迎バスでした。

■ツアー
天候もよくHP記載通りの内容でした。
星空を見ながらサーブされたホットココアがとてもおいしかったです。

■高山病対策
休憩してならしながら登っていきますが、私はやや呼吸がきついタイミングがありました。
ただ、ガイドさんの指示通りしばらく深呼吸すると改善し、最後まで問題なく楽しめました。緊急時の酸素もあるみたいなので絶対に無理はしない方がいいと思います。

■無料写真撮影サービス
ガイドさんのカメラで撮ってくれたものをエアドロで配ってくれます。
文化的なものかと思いますが、撮ったもの全てが配られるため自分の写真も他の参加者に渡ります。気になる方は自分で撮るからと断っても良いかと思います。

■余談
二日前にマウイ島で参加したシュノーケリングツアーにいたご夫婦がこちらにもいらっしゃり、ひとり参加だったのですが彼らと楽しく会話しながら過ごせました。他の方もたまたま気さくな方が多く、写真を撮り合ったりできました。

I did a lot of research before experiencing this, and it was just so much fun! It said sandals were not allowed, so I went out of my way to get sneakers on-site, but there were some people in sandals. It was recommended to have a mask or bandana, and I received a bandana with the name of Kualoa Ranch on it! Everyone was provided with helmets and goggles to wear. Since it really is a two-hour ride, make sure to use the restroom beforehand. It mentioned that children from 5 years old can ride, but I think you can have them sit in the middle of the second row with a secure seatbelt and hold them during the ride. However, since you can't go to the restroom and can't turn back, it's better to think carefully about it. At one point, it started to rain, which made it even more enjoyable, splashing through puddles and speeding down steep hills. An elderly couple couldn't keep up, and the staff had to switch drivers.

体験するにあたり色々と調べて行きましたが、とにかく楽しかった！サンダル不可とあり、わざわざスニーカーを現地で調達しましたがサンダルの方もいました。マスクやバンダナがあると良いとありましたが、クアロアランチの名前入りのバンダナをいただきました！全員ヘルメットとゴーグルを貸していただき装着。本当に2時間走るので先にトイレを済ませておく事。確か5歳〜乗車可能とありましたが、2列目の席の真ん中に座らせてしっかりとシートベルトをし、走行中は押さえててあげれば乗れると思いますがトイレに行けないのと引き返せないので慎重に考えた方が良いですね。途中、雨が降って来てより楽しさが増して、水溜まりに突っ込んだり急な下り坂を飛ばしてみたり。年配ののご夫婦が付いて来れずスタッフの方が運転を交代していました。

As a memory of our honeymoon, I had the experience with my wife!

The drive from Waikiki was incredibly refreshing, surrounded by nature that you can't see in Japan! It might be better to speak some English! This time, I was helped by a Japanese person who could understand the surroundings!

Skydiving was the most exhilarating part, as going up in the Cessna felt amazing! After jumping out, I have no memory of what happened! It was that scary! I definitely think that those who are not good with thrill rides should avoid it!

ハネムーンの思い出として
妻と体験させてもらいました！

ワイキキからドライブは
日本では見ることのない大自然でとても爽快的！
英語は話せたほうがいいかもです！
今回は周りに理解できる日本人の方がいたので助かりました！

スカイダイビングは
セスナで上空まで行くのが最高に気持ちいいです！
飛び降りてからは記憶がありません！
そのくらい怖いです！
絶叫マシンが苦手な方は絶対にやらないほうがいいと思います！

We participated with four adults. We boarded the safari bus and set off. The wild drive lasted just over an hour and was exhilarating!
Along the way, we got off at breathtaking viewpoints, passed through some nerve-wracking cliff edges, and even did a bit of mountain climbing. It might be wise to be cautious if you're wearing sandals.
Also, once you set off, there are no restrooms in the mountains!

大人4人で参加。サファリバスに乗って出発しました。1時間強のワイルドドライブ、気分爽快でした！
途中絶景ポイントで下車したり、ヒヤヒヤ崖っぷちを通ったり、ちょっとした山登りもあります。サンダル履きは気をつけたほうがいいかもです。
あと、出発したら山中にはトイレがありません！

The AT tour was an amazing experience. Our 6 year old had the time of her life. We rode in the 4x4 and we're more protected from mud than the others. We still got a little muddy but it was just enough to be fun.

The waterfall was a great experience. The water was very, very cold. It was nice to wash off and enjoy a snack before heading back.

The weather was cool and wet during our trip. We wore pants and didn't get hot.

I highly recommend the ATV experience. It is a great family adventure. If you need the 4x4, I recommend reserving early as availability is limited.
