The greenery was beautiful, and no matter how much we drove the buggy, the vast ranch seemed to stretch on forever. It was breathtaking to see the ocean as well.
We drove the buggy four times, with designated spots to switch drivers, but the last leg was quite hard, so I think it would be more enjoyable to let someone who loves driving take over then.
The neck warmer we received at the beginning, which fit snugly around the neck, seemed like a participant's badge, so I followed everyone else's lead and kept it around my neck. However, at the very end, when the dust was terrible, I covered my face to shield my mouth and nose, and it turned out to be a great safety guard, making it very comfortable. I thought if I had done that from the start, I wouldn't have gotten sand on my face, but looking back, I couldn't help but laugh at our completely blackened faces. The photos we took after returning home captured some funny expressions. (Sunglasses are a must!)
I was delighted when a cute female staff member took many photos for us at the photo spot. The Moai statue was great.
緑が美しく、バギーで走れど走れど、まだまだ先は長く続く、壮大すぎる牧場でした。海も見えて感動です。
バギーは4回、下車スポットがあって交代で運転しましたが、最後の4回目がハードなのでそこは運転好きの人に代わって貰うと、楽しいかなと思います。
最初にいただいた首にスッポリとかぶるネックウォーマーみたいなのは、それが参加者の印かなと思って皆の真似をして首に置いておきましたが、最後の最後に砂埃が酷い時に口元や鼻を隠すように顔を覆ったら、安全ガードとなってとても快適でした。最初からやっていれば顔に砂が付かなかったのにと思いましたが、終わってみると真っ黒な顏をした自分達を笑えなかったかなと、帰国して見た写真には面白顏の記録が残っています。(サングラス必須)
スタッフの可愛い女性が、撮影スポットで写真を頼むと、たくさん撮ってくれたのが嬉しかったです。モアイ像が良かったです。

After getting accustomed to the body, we enjoyed watching the sunset at the summit. The sea of clouds stretched as far as the eye could see, changing from white to orange as the sun set. It was a calm and peaceful scene with no wind.
Then, we descended a bit to enjoy stargazing. There were explanations about the Southern Cross and various constellations, but what surprised me the most was seeing artificial satellites with the naked eye. We also spotted a few shooting stars.
The guide took photos with their own camera and sent them to us, and when they captured us, a shooting star happened to be in the frame, which was moving. The guide was fluent in Japanese and showed great attention to detail, making us feel very well taken care of. Thank you very much!
身体を慣らしてから、山頂でのサンセット見学。見渡す限りの雲海が白からオレンジ色に染まって行き、太陽は沈んでいきました。
風もなく、静かで穏やかな景色でした。
それから少し山を降りて、星空鑑賞。南十字星やいろいろな星座の説明もありましたが、1番驚いたのは、人工衛星が肉眼で見えたことです。流れ星も何個か見れました。
ガイドさんがご自身のカメラで写真を撮影し、送ってくださったのですが、私達を撮影した時、偶然、流れ星も写っていて感動でした。

I was worried due to the strong winds and the sudden reservation the day before, but everything went smoothly. We ended up fishing in shallow waters, but it was still quite enjoyable. During the trip, we were greeted by a pod of dolphins. The rental equipment was reasonably maintained, but there might be some inconsistencies. The captain spoke a little Japanese, so there were no issues. There was a delay in gathering participants, which caused us to set sail later, but well, it's Hawaii time...

We participated in the buggy experience at Kualoa Ranch as a couple!
We were picked up from our hotel around 8:00 AM and arrived at Kualoa shortly after 9:00 AM. We had free time until 11:00 AM, and activities started around 11:30 AM. The activities ended at 2:00 PM, and we were taken back to the hotel by bus at 3:00 PM.
The bus picked us up from the hotel and took about an hour to reach Kualoa Ranch! I thought I might freeze to death on the way there because the bus was so cold. (laughs)
There were other activities like horseback riding and cycling, and we were given explanations about the meeting points for each. The guide at that time was Japanese, which made me feel very relieved, but during the buggy experience, everything was in English, and there were no staff who understood Japanese, so I struggled a bit. (laughs)
There were about 15 other people participating in the buggy experience, all of whom were from overseas, communicating in English. They were receiving explanations about the mountains and scenery of Kualoa, but I didn't understand anything. (laughs)
However, the scenery was breathtaking, and driving the buggy was amazing! We took about two hours to go around Kualoa, stopping at about five photo spots to get out of the buggy and receive explanations. The coastline was beautiful, and it was fun driving through the mountains, with plenty of cows along the way. It was really enjoyable, especially since the weather was nice! It would have been boring if it had rained. (;;)(;;)
The activity cost about 30,000 yen per person, totaling around 60,000 yen for two, but it was worth it since we had a solid two hours of fun! (laughs)
For those who will be doing the buggy experience, your face will get covered in dust from the buggy tires, so make sure to wear the goggles and the cloth mask provided! For 2-3 days, my nose and ears were black!

It was my first visit to Kualoa Ranch in 30 years. I still have the impression from my last visit that the horses are very intelligent, and I feel the same way this time. I was able to enjoy a happy two hours of horseback riding in a location that is hard to experience in Japan. The guide was also very pleasant. It was the perfect experience for someone like me who loves Westerns and has always wanted to ride a horse in the great outdoors.

The tour was amazing!! If I had to say something, it was that my face, shirt, pants, and luggage ended up completely black from the dust! Haha. If you take precautions, it’s not a problem!
As for precautions:
1. Make sure to wear the goggles that come with the helmet properly! Don’t leave any gaps on your forehead. The black ones will target those gaps!
2. I recommend covering the area under the goggles (around the nose and between the eyebrows) with a mask or something! The black ones love gaps!
3. Either wear earplugs and nose plugs while riding, or just accept that you’ll have to wash off the black dirt from your ears, nose, and eyes thoroughly after returning to the hotel... because the black ones are merciless if you show them any gaps.
4. Wear shirts and pants that you don’t mind getting dirty! Since it’s dirt, it will come off with washing, but until you get to the hotel, the parts not covered by the seatbelt will turn black!
I was told that there is only one staff member who speaks Japanese, but surprisingly, there are several staff members who speak simple Japanese and make it enjoyable. It was a really fun place!
ツアーは最高でした!!
強いて言うなら、土煙で顔、シャツ、パンツ、荷物が真っ黒になってしまいました!笑
対策をすれば問題なし!
対策としては、
①ヘルメットに付属しているゴーグルをしっかりつける!おでこにスキマを作らない。黒いやつらはスキマを狙ってくる!
②ゴーグル下(鼻のスキマ、眉間付近も)をマスクなどで覆うことを勧めます!黒いやつらはスキマが大好き!
③走行中耳栓、鼻栓をするか
諦めて、ホテルに帰ってからしっかり耳や鼻、目から出てくる黒い土を洗い流すのか、、、
なぜなら黒いやつらはスキマを見せると容赦ない
④汚れてもいいシャツ、パンツで行くこと!土なので洗濯すれば落ちますが、ホテルまではシートベルトを除く部分は黒になります!
参考に日本語喋れるスタッフは1人しかいないと説明受けましたが、案外簡単な日本語喋ってくれるスタッフが数名いて楽しませてくれます。

There is a reception area at the entrance of Aloha Port Harbor. It's number 61.
There was staff who could speak a little Japanese. The local people teach the basic fishing techniques in English.
We used squid as bait and dropped weights to the seabed to fish. If there were no bites, the captain would move the boat to find a new spot.
I had three incredibly strong bites, but they got away. I'm not sure what kind of fish they were.
It seems that any fish caught are generally released. They didn't cook them on the spot, but they could tell us the types and names of the fish.
The children who love fishing were having a great time.
The boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is essential. The sun is also strong, so sunscreen is a must.
It was refreshing to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from a different angle.

Everyone is posting only positive things, so I would like to share a negative experience. My wife and I, a couple in our 60s, participated in this trip. Both of us enjoy mountain climbing back home and climb mountains close to 3,000 meters every year, so we thought we would be fine at Mauna Kea, which is 4,205 meters high. However, after staying at the summit, my wife's condition quickly worsened; she began to experience numbness in her hands and feet and her complexion became poor. Fortunately, with oxygen provided by the staff, she improved, but she still felt the effects until the following morning.
Since we are climbing a significantly high mountain, I recommend considering the risk of altitude sickness before participating.
皆さん、良い事ばかりを投稿していますのであえてネガティブな投稿をさせていただきます。
家内と二人で参加した60代の夫婦です。二人とも本国では登山が趣味なため3,000メートル近い山に毎年登っており、今回のマウナケア4,205メートルでも大丈夫だと思っていました。ところが、頂上に滞在後家内の体調がみるみる悪くなり手足に痺れが出始め顔色も悪くなりました。幸いスタッフの方による酸素投与で良くなりましたが翌日の午前まではダメージがありました。
かなり高度な山に登りますので高山病のリスクが必ずある事を考えて参加する事をお勧めします。

They arrived on time to pick us up. All the tour participants were Japanese, and they provided guidance in Japanese. The explanations were very easy to understand.
After acclimatizing at the Onizuka Center, we headed to the summit of Mauna Kea. It was quite cold at the summit, and although we brought our own cold weather gear, we borrowed some as well. There were a few clouds, but we were able to see a beautiful sunset. After watching the sunset, we did some stargazing at an altitude of about 3,500 meters. It was a bit cloudy, which made it hard to see, and that was a bit disappointing.

I was picked up by the owner, Kaz, and his wife. They were so friendly that it felt like we had known each other for a long time, and they shared a lot of information about the Cessna experience and Hawaii.
After arriving at the office, I was taught how to operate the Cessna, and then we set off.
The course departed from and returned to Honolulu Airport, flying over Ala Moana, out to the waters off Honolulu, passing Diamond Head, Makapu'u Point, the sandbars of Kailua and Kaneohe, Kualoa Ranch, the North Shore, Dole Plantation, Pearl Harbor, and we circled around Oahu in about an hour.
Around the area past Diamond Head, I was allowed to take the controls, and I nervously moved the yoke up and down and side to side, experiencing the strange sensation of flying by my own will. The pilot sitting next to me adjusted the yoke and engine power (similar to a driving school car), so I didn't feel scared at all. Once I got used to it, it was truly enjoyable, and it's hard to put into words, but everything I saw was amazing. My kids, in the back seat, were taking pictures and having a great time, and they even started dozing off around the North Shore due to the comfort. I had given them motion sickness medication, but it turned out to be unnecessary for my kids.
What surprised me the most was being able to see Hawaii's great nature from above. This was my third time in Hawaii, and I had only been to Waikiki, Ala Moana, downtown, and the North Shore, but seeing the eastern coast of Oahu from the air allowed me to truly feel the grandeur of Hawaii's nature, making me love Hawaii even more.
We circled over Pearl Harbor about three times while waiting for our turn to land, and I found myself pondering how Japanese soldiers must have felt 80 years ago while flying over. It was unexpectedly profound.
Despite the expensive optional tour due to the yen's depreciation after 34 years, I believe it was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It seems that Cessna flight experiences are only available in three places worldwide, so if the timing is right, I highly recommend it. I think it will create wonderful memories for my kids as well.
迎えはオーナーのカズさんと奥様にきていただきました。初対面とは思えないくらい気さくで、セスナ体験について、ハワイについていろいろ教えていただきました。
オフィスに到着後、セスナの操縦について教えていただき、いざ出発。
コースはホノルル空港を発着し、アラモアナ上空からホノルル沖へ出て、ダイアモンドヘッド、マカプウ岬、カイルア、カネオヘのサンドバー、クアロアランチ、ノースショア、Doleプランテーション、パールハーバーとオアフを1時間ほどで半周しました。
ダイアモンドヘッドを超えたあたりで、操縦を任せて頂き、恐る恐るハンドルを上下左右に動かし、自らの意思で飛んでいる不思議な感覚を得ました。隣に座っているパイロットの方がハンドル操作とエンジン出力を調整してくれる(自動車教習所の車みたいなイメージ)ため、怖いという印象はありません。
慣れてからは本当に楽しく、言葉に表すことが難しいですが、目に飛び込んでくるもの全てが最高でした。
小6と小3の子も後部座席で撮影をしながら終始楽しんでいて、あまりの心地よさでノースショアあたりからうたた寝を始めましたw
酔い止め薬を飲ませていましたが、うちの子達には不要でした。
また予想外に良かったのは、ハワイの大自然を上空から見られたことです。私はハワイに来たのは3回目で、ワイキキやアラモアナ、ダウンタウン、ノースショアあたりしか行ったことが無かったのですが、オアフの東海岸を上空から見ることで、ハワイの大自然や雄大さを肌で感じることができ、より一層ハワイが好きになりました。
また着陸の順番待ち?のためか、パールハーバー上空を3週ほど旋回したのですが、80年前の日本兵はどんな風に見ていたのだろうともの思いにふけながら、飛ぶこともでき、こちらも予想外に大変感慨深かったです。
34年ぶりの円安で高価なオプショナルツアーになりましたが、間違いなく、生涯記憶に残る体験ができたと思います。セスナの体験操縦は世界でも3箇所?しか出来ないようで、タイミングが合えば是非オススメです。
子供達とも楽しい思い出になるのではと思います。

I thought it was a great plan to combine Diamond Head and Makapu'u Trail, allowing us to make effective use of our time. We hiked as a couple in our 60s, and there were no dangerous areas. It wasn't crowded, and everyone was well-mannered, allowing us to navigate the narrow spots by yielding to each other. You can enjoy a sense of unity with nature while listening to the birds chirping. The last stairs at Diamond Head are a bit tough, but that’s what makes it rewarding. The view of Honolulu and the ocean from the mountain is truly beautiful. This was my second time on Makapu'u Trail, and I couldn't forget the coastal views, so I decided to join again. At first, you might think the gradual slope is boring, but once you turn the first curve, the amazing scenery begins, so please be patient and keep climbing. The paved path is easy to walk on, but there’s no place to avoid direct sunlight, so a hat, rash guard, and water are essential. Next time, I definitely want to see whales, so I hope to join in the winter.
ダイヤモンドヘッドとマカプウトレイルがセットになっているので、時間を有効活用できるよいプランだと思いました。60代夫婦で登りましたが、危険なエリアもなく、混んでいなかったこともありますがみなさんマナーが良く、狭いところは譲り合いながら進むことができました。鳥のさえずりを聞きながら自然との一体感が味わえます。ダイヤモンドヘッドはラストの階段が少しきついですがだからこその達成感。山から見るホノルルの町と海は本当に美しいです。マカプウトレイルは2度目ですが岸壁の海の景色が忘れられず参加しました。初めはだらだらとした坂でつまらないと思うかもしれませんが、初めのカープを曲がったところから素晴らしい景色が始まりますので、根気よく登ってください。舗装されて道路で歩きやすいのですが、直射日光を避けるところがないため、帽子とラッシュガード、水は必須です。次回はぜひクジラが見たいので冬に参加したいです。

I found a dream activity of piloting a Cessna and signed up for my husband, who loves airplanes. I'm not very good with heights, but I took a seat in the back and challenged myself to film with a rented GoPro.
My impression is... it was simply the best!! You can experience a world beyond the ordinary!
Many of the staff at Lanilea are Japanese, so there’s no anxiety about language barriers, allowing me to ask questions with ease. I made some unreasonable requests, but they kindly listened to me. Thank you to the cheerful owner.
I'm glad I had the courage to sign up! Seeing Hawaii from the sky was exceptionally awesome!☆
セスナの操縦体験という夢のようなアクティビティを見つけ、飛行機好きの夫の為に申し込みました。私は高いところがあまり得意ではありませんが、後部座席に乗車し、レンタルのゴープロを片手に撮影に挑みました。
感想は、、、とにかく最高です!!
非日常の世界を味わえます!
ラニレアのスタッフの方々も日本人の方が多く、言葉が通じないという不安もない為、安心して質問が出来ますし、いろいろ無茶なお願いもするだけタダなのでしてみたところ、ご親切に聞いて下さったように思います。
ノリの良いオーナー様、ありがとうございました。
勇気を出して申し込みしてよかったです!
大空から見るハワイは格別にAwesomeでした☆

I have experienced five tours at Kualoa Ranch. I took the movie bus twice, went horseback riding, and did zip-lining. I highly recommend it. You can enjoy the scenery and points at a more leisurely pace compared to the bus tour. If you can ride a bike, you can move around effortlessly with the electric assist, which reduces fatigue and keeps you clean. I definitely want to participate again on my next trip with my nieces and nephews, but I'm only worried about the rain.
クアロアランチのツアーはこれで5つ体験しました。映画バスを2回、乗馬、ジップ。1番おすすめです。バスツアーよりもゆっくり景色やポイントを満喫出来ます。自転車に乗れる方なら電動アシストで苦痛なく移動出来て疲労も汚れることも少ないです。次回甥姪との旅行でも必ず参加したいと思っていますが雨だけが心配です。
