Thank you to all the staff for your courteous assistance! My first valuable flight piloting experience was amazing! I would like to use your services again. Thank you very much!

スタッフ全員がご丁寧に対応していただきありがとうございました♪
初めての貴重な飛行操縦体験は最高でした！

Meixai was very fun & knowledgeable.
Bummed we missed the eruption by just over a day, but that's nature.
Saw many craters & went in a Lava tube.
Again nature thwarted us for the stargazing as the moon was too bright.

Although it was disappointing that I couldn't see the starry sky, I was satisfied to meet my primary goal, Mr. Yamapi. Moreover, when I lost my important backpack during the tour, he worked hard alongside me to find it, for which I am extremely grateful. Despite the inconvenience caused to everyone participating in the tour, no one showed any signs of displeasure, and I thank you all for that. I will definitely challenge myself again.

星空は見れなかったのは、残念でしたが、第一目的の山ピーさんに会えて、満足しました。しかも大事なリュックをツアーの途中で紛失した際に、一緒になって一生懸命探し当ててくれて、感謝の限りです。ツアー参加の皆さんも、迷惑をかけたにもかかわらず誰一人として嫌な顔をせず、有り難うございました。
必ず、再度、チャレンジします。

I wanted to take a lot of photos and videos, so I chose the plan where someone drives for us. The guide was a wonderful person, and while listening to cheerful music from the speakers, I got to enjoy beautiful scenery and experience a bit of a thrill with some exciting driving, which felt like a little roller coaster ride 😊. The only downside was that I couldn't understand the guidance and explanations provided by the guide due to my lack of English skills. Next time, I want to improve my English skills and participate!

いっぱい写真や動画が撮りたかったので、運転してもらうプランを選びました。ガイドさんは素敵な方でスピーカーからの陽気な音楽を聴きながら綺麗な景色を見て、たまにスリルある運転でちょっとしたジェットコースター体験が出来ました😊少し残念だったのは自分が英語力がなく、ガイドさんがしてくれて案内や説明が理解出来なかった事です。次は英語スキルを身に付けて参加したいです！

The guide didn't speak much Japanese, but they explained things in a way that was easy for me to understand, even though I don't know English well. It rained partway through, but that was a good experience. It was my first time driving a buggy, but there was no need to worry! I might become a repeat customer! 👍

ガイドさんは日本語があまり話せなかったけど、英語の分からない私にも分かりやすく説明してくれました。
途中、雨が降ったけどそれがいい経験でした。
バギーの運転は初めてでしたが心配御無用！
リピーターになりそう👍

Diamond Head, which I had always wanted to climb at least once! The ascent was gentle, but it was quite hard. Still, when I saw the view from the top, I thought it was worth coming here!

After that, I got to meet some turtles at a beautiful beach, and I was able to visit Kualoa and Haleiwa, which was a great experience. Our guide, Jonathan, was very kind, thank you!

一度は登ってみたいと思っていたダイヤモンドヘッド！登りはゆるやかでしたが、なかなかハード。それでも頂上からの景色を見たら、来てよかった〜と思いました。
その後の綺麗なビーチで亀に出会ったり、クアロアやハレイワにも行くことができて満喫できました。ガイドのジョナサンとっても親切で、ありがとうございました。

まわりが明るすぎて　期待はずれでした。

I am a 58-year-old woman with acrophobia. What does it feel like to jump from above the clouds? I was interested in experiencing something extraordinary, and I thought there might be times in the future when I would want to try it but wouldn't have the physical strength. This led me to experience it with my husband.

When jumping from the Cessna, fear definitely took over, but I realized that my acrophobia didn't matter at all. The instructor communicated with me through reassuring words and gestures, which made me feel at ease and not anxious.

The only trouble I had was with filling out the waiver, as everything was in English. It took some time using my smartphone's translation app, but I managed to get through it without any issues.

One disappointing point was the transportation. While the pickup was at a designated location, I was dropped off at a completely different place. If I had known in advance, I could have prepared for it, but it felt like I was suddenly told to get off here! (There was someone who translated for me, so I understood the situation.) Since it was only the second day after arriving, I was in a "Where am I?" state. Thankfully, I had Google Maps, but it would have been nice to receive prior notice if the drop-off location was going to change.

Aside from the transportation issue, it was a valuable experience, and it was amazing!

高所恐怖症の58歳(女性)です。
雲の上から飛び降りる感覚とは？
非日常を体験したい興味、今後やってみたいと思った時に体力が伴わない場合もあるのでは？と思ったのがきっかけで主人と2人で体験させてもらいました。
セスナから飛び降りる時は、さすがに恐怖が勝ちましたが高所恐怖症は全く関係ないな。と思いました。インストラクターの方が安心できるように声掛けとジェスチャーでコミュニケーションをとって下さったので不安は感じませんでした。
困ったのは誓約書などの入力、全て英語なので大変でしたがスマホの翻訳機を使い時間はかかりましたが問題なくできました。

残念な点は、送迎…迎えは指定された場所なのに、降ろされた場所は全く違う所だったこと。
事前に分かっていれば対応できたのですが、急にここで降りて！！みたいな感じで降ろされました。(通訳してくださった方が居たので理解できた状況)
着いて2日目だったこともあり、ここ何処？？状態です。Googleマップがあったのでなんとかなるものの、送迎の場所が変わるのであれば事前にお知らせがあると良かったなと思いました。
送迎の事以外は貴重な経験が出来てサイコーです。

I had a super fun and enjoyable time riding the buggy!! It's a shame that we couldn't stop at the photo spot where they filmed Jurassic Park.

めっちゃ楽しく気持ちよくバギーできました！！ジュラシックパークの撮影現場で使われてたとこが写真スポットとして止まってくれなかったのでそれが残念です。

I had a great time being together with people from abroad. The guide seemed to understand a little Japanese, which made communication enjoyable. Above all, I think it's happy to share the time of enjoying the beautiful starry sky with those who love stars in Hawaii.

外国の方とも一緒になれて楽しかったです。ガイドの方は日本語も少しわかるようで楽しくコミュニケーションが取れました。何より、Hawaiiで星が好きな方々と綺麗な星空を見て楽しむという時間を共有できることがhappyだと思います。

On the day of the event, we started under dark clouds. The rain gradually intensified, but since it was an activity we were prepared to get dirty for, we ended up soaking wet. However, guided by a fantastic guide, it turned into an unforgettable and amazing buggy experience. Next time, I want to have a revenge under clear skies.

当日、暗雲立ちこめる中のスタート。
次第に雨は強まっていったが、もとは汚れることは覚悟のアクティビティ、ずぶ濡れになったが、素晴らしいガイドに導かれ思い出に残る最高のバギー体験となった。
次回は晴天の下のリベンジをしたい。

I participated in the 3-hour course. The 2-hour course seemed to have many participants, but the 3-hour course had only three groups, allowing us to listen to detailed explanations at stunning viewpoints and movie filming locations while having plenty of time to take photos. Every spot felt like a rare opportunity to see such breathtaking scenery, making it an incredible experience!

3時間のコースに参加しました。
2時間コースは参加者が多そうでしたが、3時間コースは参加が３組で、絶景や映画の撮影ポイントで詳しく説明を聞きながら、たくさん写真を撮る時間がありました。
こんな絶景なかなか見られないと感じるところばかりで、最高の時間になりました！

This tour was great fun. The off-roading was excellent and the views absolutely beautiful. The guides were funny and full of interesting Hawaii facts/information. My kids also had a great time and said this was their favorite tour.

I was fitted with a harness by the instructor, while other instructors were taking photos in front of the sign and communicating. However, when they realized I was Japanese and couldn't speak much English, they quickly went behind the scenes and didn't come out again.

As others moved, we headed to the waiting area before boarding the plane. The instructor arrived late and took photos in front of the outdoor sign. After that, we waited for boarding, during which a GoPro was recording, resulting in 1,659 images sent to us that were mostly irrelevant. Two-thirds of the total images were just random shots taken without permission.

I understand that the energy levels vary among instructors, but if the images are just for counting, I don't need them. The data was downloaded without consent.

At the reception, there was a Japanese woman who was reassuring and attentive, which made me feel at ease.

Overall, it was a valuable experience that is hard to come by.

インストラクターにハーネスを着けてもらい、他のインストラクターは、看板前で撮影等して、コミュニケーションをしていたが、日本人で英語がそれぼど話せないと分かると、すぐ裏へ帰り出て来ない。
他の人達が移動するので飛行機搭乗前の待機場へ移動すると、遅れてインストラクターが来て、外の看板前で撮影。その後、飛行機搭乗まで待機しているが、その間GoPro回っていて、送られた画像1659枚がその時のどうでもいい画像。トータル三分のニの画像が、無断な数合わせの画像でした。
インストラクターによって、テンションが違うのは、分かるが数合わせの画像なら、いらない。データダウンロードの無断です。

受け付けには、日本人女性がいらっしゃて、安心、親身に対応して、いただきました。

体験としては、なかなか体験出来ない貴重な体験をさせていただきました。

The Mountain tubing adventure was just as advertised, lots of fun floating down the canals and tunnels. One person in our family was a bit claustrophobic in the tunnels but survived just fine. Our guides were really fun and super safe. They told excellent historical stories. Remember to keep your butts up and your elbows and knees in.

This is the best activity where you can enjoy the magnificent scenery for two hours while riding a horse! Even as someone with very little horseback riding experience, I felt at ease because the guide was attentive. Simple instructions like "kick" were given in Japanese. It was a bit troublesome that the helmet didn't fit well due to my typical Japanese head shape, but overall, I was satisfied!

雄大な景色を2時間も馬に乗って楽しめる最高のアクティビティです！
乗馬経験がほとんどない自分でもガイドさんがよく見ていてくださるので安心して乗れました。「蹴ってください」など、簡単な指示は日本語で言ってくれました。
典型的な日本人の頭の形なのでヘルメットが合わなかったのは困りましたが、総じて満足です！

Our driver who picked us up was watching a program on his phone and not paying attention to the road. Once we arrived and started our UTV tour it was amazing and worth every dollar. Our tour guide was excellent. The only problem was speakers in our UTV were hard to hear and need upgraded. The guide did take time to tell us about things in detail about what we had passed by and things to come ahead. Such a beautiful place I hope the ranch is maintained for generations to come.

It was an unexpected private event, and the weather was perfect, making it absolutely amazing! The starry sky was stunning, and I was so moved like never before! I would love to participate again if I have the chance! Big Mahalo~ 🤘🤟

まさかの貸切で天候にも恵まれ文句なしで最高でした！
星空も満点でこんなに感動したのは初めてでした！
また機会があれば参加したいです！
ビッグマハロ〜🤘🤟

The area were we rode was still wet and muddy. I got a horse who refused to move so was led the entire ride. The Dole plantation party of the tour was too short and the place wasn't even open yet when we arrived, cutting into our time there. The town we visited on the way back was just a time sick, although we found a great burger place to eat lunch. I would not recommend.

Loved the experience! Once in a lifetime so far. Hope to have a repeat someday!!

We had a great time on this tour. David and Cousin Kyle were awesome guides! We liked hearing the history while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Swimming at the waterfall was amazing!

Matthew was exceptional - he went out of his way to make our trip memorable- would highly recommend him as a guide

As I controlled the buggy through the rough terrain covered in dust, I soon arrived at a breathtaking viewpoint. While drinking the cold mineral water given to me by the guide, I listened to the explanation about the stunning scenery.

The next stop was aimed at the filming locations of movies like Jurassic World. The familiar sights that appeared one after another reminded me of those days.

悪路を砂ぼこりに塗れてバギーをコントロールしてると、すぐに絶景ポイントに到着。
ガイドさんから貰った冷たいミネラルウォーターを飲みながら絶景の説明を受ける。

次からのポイントは、ジェラシックワールドなどの映画撮影現場を目指す。次々に現れる見覚えのある光景はあの頃を思い出す。

I was taken care of by the guide, Shoutarou. He explained everything alternately in English and Japanese, which made it very easy to understand and I felt安心して参加できました😊. The reservation date was canceled due to bad weather, but when I contacted them, they were able to change it to the next day. I wanted to go to Mauna Kea, so I was very grateful for their対応!!

ガイドのショウタロウさんにお世話になりました。
英語と日本語で交互に説明をしていただき、とてもわかりやすく安心して参加できました😊
予約日は天候不良で中止になってしまったのですが、連絡をしたら次の日に変更していただけました。
マウナケアに行きたくてハワイ島へ行ったので、とてもありがたい対応でした！！

On the last morning in Honolulu, I signed up for this tour. I chose the earliest pickup time. The day before, I received a text message in English confirming the meeting time and location.

On the morning of the tour, I was waiting to see if someone would come to call my name in the lobby. When a large vehicle arrived, I thought it might be for me, and I should have spoken up, but I waited until I was called. Eventually, about five minutes later, the driver got out of the car and called my name. I thought it would be smoother if they also provided the car's license plate number via text in case no one came to call me.

The same driver was shuttling between the hotel and Diamond Head. Although they said they would pick me up at 8:35, they ended up being 30 minutes late. Since the hotel checkout was until 12:00, I was able to take a shower and change after returning to the hotel before heading to the airport. However, I know some hotels have a 10:00 checkout, so I was surprised by the 30-minute delay on the return trip. Moreover, the excuse was that they had to go to seven different hotels, and that group was late by 2-3 minutes each, causing the 30-minute delay. As I mentioned earlier, I believe if they had called names right away during the gathering, it wouldn't have taken so long.

ホノルル最終日の朝、このツアーに申し込みました。1番早いピックアップ時間に申し込みしました。前日にショートメールが英文で届き待ち合わせ時間と集合場所の確認メールが届きます。
当日の朝、ロビーまで名前を呼びに来るのかな？と思い、待っていました。大きな車が来たからそれかな？と思いこちらからも声をかけたら良かったのですが、呼ばれるまで待っていました。でも結局5分後くらいにその車からドライバーが降りて名前を呼んできました。もし呼びに来ないなら、車のナンバーなどもショートメールで教えてくれたらスムーズだと思った。同じドライバーが一台の車をピストンさせて、ホテルとダイヤモンドヘッドの送迎をしています。帰りは8:35に迎えに来ると言っていたのに結局30分も遅刻してお迎えに来ました。ホテルのチェックアウトが12:00までだったので、今回はホテルに戻った後にシャワーを浴びて着替えてから飛行機に乗れましたがチェックアウトが10:00のホテルもあると思うので帰りの30分の遅刻は、驚きました。しかも、言い訳が7個のホテルを回ってそのグループが2.3分ずつ遅刻して30分遅れたとのこと‥最初にも書きましたが、集合時すぐに名前を呼んで乗車されたらそんなに時間が遅くならないと思いました。

Although I was able to reach the summit of Mauna Kea, unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, and I was unable to see the sunset or the starry sky. I appreciated that they offered a partial refund when both were not visible.

Even though I couldn't see either, the guide was supposed to explain in English but provided explanations in Japanese instead, and the guidance at the summit was consistently polite and enjoyable. During the restroom break on the way back, they mentioned that we might see some stars, and I was delighted to catch a glimpse of a few through the clouds.

It was such a good tour that I would like to choose a day with better weather and participate in the tour again next time.

マウナケア山頂には行けたものの、残念ながら天候に恵まれずサンセット、星空観測ともに見れませんでした。
両方とも見れない場合は一部料金の払い戻しをしていただけるのはありがたかったです。

両方ともは見えませんでしたが、ガイドの方は英語での説明予定だったのに日本語で説明してくれましたし、山頂での説明や案内も終始丁寧で楽しめました。
帰路のトイレ休憩の際に星が見えるかもと教えてくれて雲間から少し星が見えたりしてフォローが嬉しかったです。

次回は天気がいい日を選んで再度ツアーを参加したいと思えるぐらいいいツアーでした。

The magnificent scenery was truly wonderful! The reception staff were fluent in Japanese, which made it easy to participate in the activities. I had a great time!

雄大な景色がとても素晴らしかったです！
受付も日本語堪能な方が対応していただき、すんなりアクティビティに参加できました。
とても楽しかったです！

My wife and I have been here for the second time, but it was great to see our daughter enjoy it for the first time. She said it was the most fun two hours ever... as a father, that makes me feel amazing.

私と嫁は2回目でしたが初めての娘が喜んでくれて良かったです。こんな楽しい2時間は無かった…と言ってくれて父親としては最高です。

Loved our tour guide Saybrin!!! She was HILLARIOUS!! The other 2 guides who helped were so helpful and kind as well. Water was cold but the tunnels and experience were awesome. Thanks for such a fun time!

This was my third horseback riding experience in Hawaii, and it was my first time at this location. The course still showed some effects from the flooding, but the instructors were very friendly, making for a highly satisfying ride.

Due to the flooding in March 2026, I couldn't find the entrance sign mentioned in the VELTRA description, which made parking a bit confusing. The entrance is marked by a gate that says something like "No beach visitors."

The instructors shared various stories about the horses, including their relationships with each other and what they used to do. It's clear that they care deeply for each horse.

Additionally, there was a forecast predicting bad weather around the end of our reservation time, so they started the tour 30 minutes early. As the instructor predicted, we finished before the weather turned bad.

After the ride, we were able to give the horses grass snacks and carrots.

Overall, I had a very enjoyable time.

ハワイでは3回目の乗馬で初めて行く場所でした。
洪水の影響がまだ残るコースでしたが、インストラクターの方たちがとてもフレンドリーで、満足感の高い乗馬でした。

2026年3月の洪水の影響か、VELTRAの説明にあるような入り口の看板は見当たらず駐車する際少し迷いました。”No beach visitors”的な文言が書いてあるゲートが入り口です。

馬同士の関係や、元々何をしていた馬たちなのかなどいろんな話を聞かせてくださいました。1匹1匹の馬をとても大切にしていることがわかります。

また予約終了時間時の天気が怪しくなる予報が出ており、30分前倒しでツアーを始めいただきました。インストラクターさんの予想通り、天気が悪くなる前に終了することができました。

乗馬の後には草のおやつやにんじんをあげることができました。

総じて大変楽しい時間を過ごせました。
