Hawaii
This time, I visited with my parents in their 60s, and everyone was extremely satisfied with the activity. We headed to the base camp by bus while feeling the magnificent nature of Kualoa Ranch, where we watched a Japanese instructional video and put on our harnesses. After that, we enjoyed the time on seven zip lines and two suspension bridges. Although there wasn't a Japanese guide, the three guides communicated with us throughout, and the atmosphere with the other group members was great, making the time fly by. The total duration was about 3 to 3.5 hours.
今回、60代の両親と共に訪れましたが全員大満足のアクティビティでした。
クアロアランチの壮大な自然を感じながらバスでベースキャンプまで向かい、そこで日本語のレクチャー動画を見てハーネスを装着。そこからは、7本のジップラインと2本の吊り橋を楽しむ時間でした。日本語のガイドはないけれど、3人のガイドさんが逐一コミュニケーションをとってくれるし、一緒のグループになった方々のノリもよくあっという間でした。
全体の所要時間は3時間〜3時間半でした。

This was my fifth time ziplining. The first line is thrilling, but the exhilaration and rush that you can't experience in daily life are the best. We were the only Japanese people there, but there were couples and families from various countries. It was fun to feel a sense of unity with simple English conversations. I'm definitely up for the challenge again!
５回目となるジップライン。1本目はドキドキですが日常生活では味わえないあのスリルと爽快感は最高です。日本人は私達２人だけでしたが、あとは色々な国から来たカップルや家族。簡単な英会話で一体感もあり楽しいですよ。また、チャレンジ決定です。

Mitch was awesome and very knowledgeable about the local ecology and pant species. We had a private tour and there was nobody else other than our party of four and our guide. Our whole family enjoyed the tour and the dip in the waterfall pool a lot.
After 25 years, my husband and I decided to take an overseas trip together, and we were considering how to explore Hawaii. By chance, my husband found a Cessna experience tour in a guidebook and made a reservation. They kindly offered to pick us up from a hotel that was outside their usual area, and they were also very prompt and helpful in our email correspondence, which made us feel at ease about the experience. We were blessed with great weather, and the views of the islands from the sky were truly spectacular and impressive! I'm really glad we decided to participate. Thank you very much.
25年振りの夫婦での海外旅行・ハワイということで島内観光をどのようにしたらよいのか考えていたなか、主人が偶然セスナ機の体験ツアーをガイドブックで見つけて予約しました。規定外のホテルまでの送迎にも応じてくださり、また事前のメールのやりとりにも親切迅速に対応下さって安心して乗ることができました。お天気にも恵まれ空からの島の景色はそれはそれは迫力ある素晴らしいものでした！思い切って参加して本当に良かったと思います。
ありがとうございました。

Izzy was our tour guide she was super friendly and this was one of our highlights on our trip!
Aloha J,
Izzy does it again!
Izzy remains one of the top guides plying the Wailua River on her way to
the falls.
We need Izzy to write a handbook.
Will share your kind words with the champ.
Stay well and active.
A hui hou,
Micco/Head Guide
The guides were awesome! Beautiful scenary and going inside the caves was super cool!
I thought two hours would be long, but it flew by and turned into an enjoyable time. The scenery was wonderful, and it became a great experience in a unique atmosphere.
2時間は長いと思ったのですが、あっという間に楽し時間になりました。景色が素晴らしく、非日常感の中でとても良い経験になりました。

The weather was perfect after the typhoon, and with the new moon, it was the best day for stargazing. Thanks to the frequent breaks we took on the way to the summit, I didn't suffer from altitude sickness and was able to fully enjoy the breathtaking views. Being taken to a hidden spot where we could see the stars in a 360° view was incredibly moving, as I could recognize the constellations as they are. The recommendations at the supermarket and the warm tea at the summit showed the wonderful thoughtfulness and character of Yamapi, and I never expected to receive such hospitality abroad. This became my best memory from my trip to Maui. I would love to participate again in a different season. Thank you!
当日は台風一過で天候にも恵まれ、また新月だったこともあり星空観察には最高の日でした。山頂までに度々休憩を挟んでいただいたおかげで高山病にもならず、絶景を思う存分楽しむことができました。360°星空が見渡せる穴場スポットへ連れて行っていただき、星座を星座として認識できた感動はひとしおでした。スーパーでのおすすめ情報や山頂での温かいお茶など、やまぴーさんのお気遣い・お人柄が素晴らしく、海外でこのようなおもてなしを受けるとは思ってもみませんでした。今回のマウイ島旅行で一番の思い出となりました。また違う季節に参加してみたいです。ありがとうございました！

God’s amazing creativity seen through volcanic activity and celestial bodies. Truly an experience you won’t forget. Maka was the best. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Be forewarned that if you have altitude problems, you may fell icky at the summit. Take it slowly. You’ll fell better when you descend.
At the end of August, my wife and I participated together. My wife had a piloting experience. It was an expensive tour, but we thought that if we missed this opportunity, we might never get to pilot a plane again, so we signed up.
The person who picked us up was Japanese, and the pilot was also from Japan, which made us feel very secure.
The course took us around the eastern half of Oahu and lasted about an hour. Naturally, it was my wife's first time piloting a plane, and she was extremely nervous, but they provided support at the right times, so we were able to enjoy it without any dangerous moments (she got tired about two-thirds of the way through, so the pilot took over for the rest).
And surprisingly, after the flight experience, my wife forgot her phone on the sofa, but they contacted us and even delivered it to our hotel. I really appreciate the extra effort they made.
8月末に妻と二人で参加しました。妻が操縦体験をしました。高額なツアーですが、もうこの機会を逃したら飛行機の操縦なんて二度と無いかも、ということで申し込みました。
送迎をしてくれた方も日本人、またパイロットさんも日本の方で、とても安心でした。
オアフ島の東半分を周遊するコースで、ちょうど1時間ほど。当然妻も飛行機の操縦は初めてでめちゃくちゃ緊張していましたが、適時サポートしてくれるので危ないところもなく楽しめました（2/3くらいのところで疲れてしまったので、残りは操縦していただきました）。
そしてなんと、飛行体験が終わったあとソファのところに妻が携帯を忘れていってしまったのですが、連絡をくれてわざわざホテルまで届けてくれました。大変お手数おかけしました。

The tubing adventure was so much fun. Sophia and team were the perfect guides, Added plenty of history along with a lot of fun conversation. The actual ride takes about an hour and then you have a really nice lunch at the end and then get shuttled back to the main office. Thanks for the great time!
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。
Thank you! We had a wonderful flight. The more we fly, the more comfortable it becomes. Let's meet again next time.
ありがとう！素晴らしい飛行をしましたね。飛べば飛ぶほど快適になります。次回お会いしましょう。

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.
