Tour was great from start to finish. Yoshi was kind and knowledgeable. He thought of everything from hot tea, candy, and Krispy cream donuts. It was a very windy evening and he changed up plans on the fly to get us out of the wind and get us the best stargazing experience he could. I would definitely book a tour with Yoshi again.

It was a tour with an English guide, but they kindly explained things in Japanese as well! You have to ask for water and hot drinks yourself to get them. The sunset and starry sky were absolutely amazing on this tour! If I come back to the Big Island, I will definitely ask Masashi Nature School again!

It was one of the things I wanted to do before I die, so I'm really happy to have achieved it. I have no resistance to jumping, so I didn't feel any fear at all. It was just beautiful! Amazing! It felt like shouting "Banzai!" I struggled with equalizing my ears, and they were making funny noises, haha. When I get the photos, I might cry from laughing because I look so bad.
I think everyone should experience this at least once!

The explanation from the pilot was unhelpful. I was told to take the controls, so I grabbed the yoke, but I was cautioned not to grip it too tightly to avoid conflict. When I tried to level the plane, I was met with opposing inputs. The experience of piloting was not enjoyable at all; I was just resting my hands on the controls. Ultimately, I was told that if I kept turning left, I would be reprimanded. I wasn't actually steering; I was just resting my hands, which is why it kept turning left. The inability to assess the situation and the poor explanations were frustrating. I was also instructed to enjoy myself more. I am enjoying myself, but please do not dictate people's emotions.
I fully understand that beginners cannot be entrusted with the controls. However, if you are promoting an experience of piloting, this approach is inappropriate.
The information I received from the driver prior to the experience was completely different. There was no explanation on how to read the instruments. There was a brief explanation on the ground, but that was it.
I understand that communicating with air traffic control can be challenging. However, it is part of the job, and failing to satisfy customers is second-rate. What do you mean by "enjoy it more" when you are so brusque?
The conversation with K, who was assigned today, was the most enjoyable part. The pilot only used technical jargon and showed no willingness to provide clear explanations. I have hundreds of hours of experience with Japan's national license, as an examiner, and in drone training.
You must assess what kind of people come for the experience and provide explanations tailored to each individual. Giving the same brusque explanation to everyone is meaningless.
If I had known the level of the participants, I could have skipped basic explanations like pitch, roll, and yaw, and focused on more important details.
There was a lack of communication between the driver and the pilot. I was instructed not to use yaw, but that is a separate issue altogether.
K later supplemented all the difficult terms. He shared many stories from wartime and emphasized the importance of passing knowledge to the next generation. Without K, I would have wanted a full refund for the experience.
In the car on the way back, the woman in the passenger seat didn't say a word; I wondered what she was there for.
Thank you very much, K and the driver, for your help.
パイロットの説明が不親切。
操縦しろと言うから舵を握る、舵を握れば、喧嘩しないように強く握るな。
水平にしようと舵をきると当て舵をされる。
操縦は全く面白くありませんでした。ただ舵に手を添えているだけ。最終的に左にずっと舵をきっていると注意される。
舵をきっているのではなく、手をそえているだけだから左に曲がっていくだけです。
状況判断も出来ず、説明が下手くそ。
もっと楽しめと指図もされました。
楽しんでいます。人の感情を指示しないでください。
初心者に舵をまかせられないのは重々承知の上です。しかし、体験操縦を謳い文句にしているのであれば、このようなやり方は不適切です。
事前に送り迎えのドライバーに聞いていた内容とは全く異なります。
計器の見方も全く説明なし。地上ではさわり程度に説明がありましたが。
管制官との連絡が大変なのは分かります。しかし、仕事なので、客を満足させられないのは二流、三流です。ぶっきらぼうなくせに何がもっと楽しめだ。
本日から配属になったKさんとの会話が一番楽しかったです。パイロットは、専門用語ばかりを口にし、分かりやすい説明をする気もなし。こちらは日本の国家ライセンス、終了審査員、ドローンの講習を何百時間も行っています。
体験に来た方がどのような人なのかを確認し、それぞれの人に応じた説明をしなければなりません。ぶっきらぼうな同じ説明を万人にしても意味は無し。
体験に来た方のレベルを聞いておけば、pitch、roll、yawなどの基本的な説明を省きもっと重要な説明が出来たと思います。
ドライバーの方とパイロットのコミュニケーション不足です。yawは使わないなどと指示していましたが、そもそもそれ以前の問題です。
Kさんは難しい単語を後から全て補足してくれました。戦争の時の話、次の世代に受け継がなければならないことをたくさん教えてくださいました。Kさんがいなければ、体験費用を全額返金願いたいところです。
帰りの車の中で助手席に乗った女性、一言も話さず、何のために乗っているのか。
Kさん、ドライバーの方本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

This zip line course is the real deal! Not only they have 8 individual zip lines, but each has it's character and unique feature. We really loved to do different tricks, and also enjoyed some very long zip lines that we haven't experienced anywhere else.
Guides were fun and very helpful, and had 'super human' abilities whenever someone was stuck on a line.
We will definitely come again next time we are visiting the island!

One of the reasons I came to the Big Island for the first time was to see the starry sky! It far exceeded my expectations, and I was able to see a sky filled with stars. It was just July 7th, Tanabata, with Orihime and Hikoboshi, and the Milky Way was clearly explained by the tour guide using a laser pointer, making for a very satisfying stargazing tour. ^_^ Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take good photos of the starry sky, so I will only share the sunset photos. I'm sorry.

Fantastic tour of an amazing place. You see lots of incredible scenery and see where tons of your favorite movies were filmed. The tour is a good balance of learning about the ranch and having a great time driving the side by sides.
They definitely prioritize safety and make sure everyone is doing what they should be in order to have a good time.
You will get dirty from driving on the dusty roads. If you wear contacts be sure to use the goggles they provide to keep the dust out of your eyes.
They also provide a bandana which helps keep the dust our of your mouth/nose.

Great activity for those who want to get the opportunity to swim in a waterfall. The hike to the waterfalls was relatively short although somewhat slippery at times. We had hiking shoes which I would definitely recommend. Folker our guide did a great job of explaining the culture and plants around us as we hiked, as well as giving us tidbits to keep us safe along the way. It was an incredible few hours and one we will surely remember.

Last year, I was able to enjoy a horseback riding course that featured scenery from movie filming locations, and I was looking forward to it again this year. However, this year, it ended up being just a two-hour ride along a mountain path, which was disappointing. The people in my riding group were similarly frustrated and said they didn't want to participate again. Is it the instructor who decides the course? Was it just bad luck this year? If possible, please let me know.
昨年は、映画ロケ地の景色も楽しめるコースを乗馬することができ、今年も楽しみに申込したところ、今年は山道を、ひたすら2時間乗馬するだけで終わってしまいガッカリでした。一緒に乗馬したグループの人達も同様に不満を爆発しており、2度と参加したくないと言っていました。コースを決めるのは、インストラクターが決めるのですか。今年は運が悪かっただけなのですか。よかったら教えてください。

The weather was nice and the scenery was amazing. I thought I would be able to run around more freely, but we had to ride in a line. Since there were two couples sharing one vehicle, it would have been better to sign up separately so that each couple could have their own vehicle. The back of the line had a lot of dust, so wearing clothes that can get dirty is a must. The distance we traveled was sufficient.
天気も良く景色は最高でした。もっと自由に走り回れるのかと思っていましたが、隊列を組んでの走行でした。二人カップル二組で一台だったので、申し込みを分けて二人で一台にすれば良かったです。隊列の後ろの方は砂ぼこりが凄いので、汚れて良い服装は必須ですね。走行距離は充分でした。

The long journey from the hotel to Haleakalā was enjoyable with breaks along the way. We were introduced to various types of poke at Foodland, which we enjoyed after the tour at the hotel. Upon arriving at Haleakalā, I was excited by the magnificent scenery. They set up special seating for us to watch the sunset, and the colors of the sky changed beautifully to orange, blue, and green. I can still remember the gradient of the sky while waiting for the stars to appear as night fell. After a while, the starry sky was breathtaking—so many stars! I was amazed by the stunning view and was moved when they taught us about various constellations using a telescope. It was a great time to see the Southern Cross in the night sky, and capturing photos with the stars was also an emotional experience. I'm creating a memory album. My husband and I have been to Hawaii many times, but this was the first time with someone who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, and they were truly moved. Thank you, Mr. Yamauchi. I will visit Maui again!

The ride and the guides were great. The land has amazing views that our pictures don’t do it justice. Only thing that we either missed or wasn’t made aware to us was that if you have the last ride booked, you must shop at the gift store before hand. We were going to wait so items didn’t get dirty. The store was closed when we returned and we could not buy souvenirs as we planned to. It also rained during our ride (part of the experience - still had a great time) and we (13 people in my family in our group that day) probably would have all bought dry shirts/sweatshirts for the Uber ride back to our hotel. They do tell you to bring a change of clothes but we planned on buying shirts. Also, you can’t order online and pay to ship any souvenirs which we would have done if available.

We were picked up from Waikiki and taken in to Kualoa Ranch - this was great because we wouldn't have been able to do the tour otherwise.
The site of the ranch is incredible. Breath taking! Stunning mountains on one side, blue ocean on the other.
We were met off the bus and given all the info we'd need.
Our 'Jungle Expedition' tour guide was fantastic.
He gave us lots of information, picked some Mountain Apples along the way and generally added to the experience.
If we'd have had more time we would definitely have booked another tour.
