Trying to find activities that appeal to a family, like mine, that ranges in age from 13 to 60 can be challenging, but this zipline adventures was a winner for all!
Thanks to our team of Payton, Jayden, and Tyler, my family was safe and entertained from equipment prep to zipping through the trees to our final return. We loved our up-close-and-personal view of movie props and backdrops to nature in all of its glory. In true Hawaii fashion, we got sun, clouds, light rain, and a picturesque rainbow all during our tour.
We started with easy zips to acquaint ourselves with the equipment and procedures. In no time, we were ready to FLY superman-style and zip UPSIDE DOWN (all optional, of course!).
We had hours of phone-free fun. We survived a dinosaur attack - if you know, you know - and we can't wait to do it again.
Big thanks to Jayden for helping a scared mom master her fear of flying to see Kauai in the most exciting way!

The shuttle plan was included, and the bus arrived right on time. It was a comfortable ride. After arriving at the location, we received an explanation from a Japanese guide and split into different courses. In the buggy course, we were the only Japanese group. After watching a video, we put on our helmets and set off. For a full two hours, we drove the buggies through the stunning scenery of Kualoa Ranch. There was plenty of time at the photo spots. The guide provided explanations, but we were completely lost (laughs). Anyway, we ended up covered in dirt and dust... After it was over, we looked at each other and burst out laughing. It was an amazing experience to feel the nature of Hawaii.
送迎プラン付き、時間ぴったりにバスが到着。乗り心地のいいバスでした。 現地に到着後、 日本人ガイドの方に説明を受け、それぞれのコースに分かれます。 バギーコースは、日本人は私たち1組だけでした。 ビデオ鑑賞後、ヘルメットを装着。 いざ出発。たっぷり2時間、クアロアランチの絶景の中、バギーを走らせます。 写真撮影スポットでは、充分な時間があります。ガイドの方の説明がありますが、私達にはちんぷんかんぷん(笑) とにかく、土ぼこりでどろどろになります…終わってから、顔を見合わせて、爆笑しました。 ハワイの自然を体感でき、最高でした。

Driving the buggy in a line is quite challenging.
Since I'm short, I had a hard time reaching the accelerator properly.
I was covered in dust from the vehicle in front for the entire 2 hours, and afterward, my clothes and face were a complete mess!
You get to see valuable filming locations up close and at a leisurely pace, so I think it's worth experiencing at least once.

Francis was a really fun guide and took care of us really well, making sure we were all doing okay with the high elevation. Sunset was gorgeous, seeing the moon through an 80x telescope was really cool, watching the stars come out was great. If you have a choice, go during a new moon, we had about 70% moon and it created a lot of light pollution in the sky. The other guide (Tom?) was really good at pointing out all the main constellations, even naming some of them in various different languages since we had a mixed ethnic group. Very knowledgeable. Phenomenal, phenomenal tour.

We really enjoyed this tour. We really appreciated Athens as our guide, he was upbeat, fun and informative! We even learned new things about the sugarcane industry as well as great local places to go after the tour. The tour was really fun and a unique thing to do in Kauai. Make sure you are comfortable with your back sitting in an innertube in the water and going through darkened tunnels in some narrow spaces with a group of people and then sometimes pushing off the wall of the tunnels with your feet and arms. We even had some really little kids about 6 years who enjoyed it. The water was shallow with very small rapids and it was fun and felt very safe at all times, they made sure to have multiple guides watching over us throughout. Highly recommend!

The horseback riding experience along the beach was very pleasant, and the horses were calm, so I felt safe riding them.
We participated as a couple, and there were five other participants along with two guides. One led the way while the other checked on everyone’s situation and provided support, which was reassuring.
They also take photos at the beach, making for great memories. This is a tour I would like to join again the next time I visit Hawaii.
After horseback riding, you can enjoy a leisurely lunch in Haleiwa and explore the shops, so I highly recommend it.

I went horseback riding for two hours!
Riding a horse while surrounded by the beautiful sea on my right and the natural mountains that served as the backdrop for Jurassic World on my left was an experience that you can't have in Japan.
- At first, both my friend and I were scared because the horse was much larger than we imagined, but after about 20 minutes, we grew attached.
- There was a low-rated comment mentioning that the return time was set for 5:00 PM, but I think that's the person's responsibility. In the reservation details, you can choose your preferred departure and return times, and if you respond with something like "anytime is fine," the organizers might prioritize their own schedule. If you want to return at 1:00 PM, just state that, and there won't be any issues.
- The staff who guide you at first can speak Japanese, so there's no need to worry.
- The horseback riding staff only speak English.
- Depending on the horse's personality, some horses can be difficult to control, so it’s a bit of luck. However, it’s enjoyable. My horse dislikes being pulled when told to stop. The horse in front of me often stops suddenly for some reason. My friend's horse is too laid-back and tends to lag behind during the tour, stopping to urinate and defecate three times each.
2時間の乗馬をしました!
右手は、綺麗な海、左手はジュラシックワールドの舞台となった大自然の山々を巡りながら馬を乗るのは日本だとまず味わえない体験になりました。
・最初は、馬が想像以上に大きいので彼女も私も怖かったですが20分もすれば、愛着湧きます。
・低評価コメで、帰りの時間が17:00になった!と記載した方もおりますが、それはその人の責任かと。事前の予約の文面に、行き帰りの希望時間を選択でき、そこの選択欄でどちらでも良い!みたいな回答をすると、主催者側の都合で、後回しにされるので、帰りが13:00希望なら13:00と記載すれば何ら問題ありません。
・日本語が話せるスタッフが最初ガイドするので、不安もいりません。
・乗馬のスタッフは、英語オンリーだそうです
・馬の性格によりきりで、馬のコントロールが難しい馬がいますので、そこは運次第。でも、楽しめます。○私の馬は止まれで引っ張られるのが嫌い。 ○私の前の馬は、なぜか急に止まることが多い ○彼女の馬はマイペースすぎて、ツアー中、オシッコとうんちを3回ずつ、行い列から遅れがち など

My husband and I, along with our 19 & 15 year old daughters, thoroughly enjoyed the Sacred Falls adventure. Kayaking up the river was peaceful and beautiful as the river is very calm. The hike was fun with some scrambling over rocks and roots and wading through streams. We enjoyed eating lunch by the waterfall before trekking back. Our guide, Izzy, was fantastic - super easy to be around, very encouraging, and she grave great beach/dining suggestions at the end. We loved it!
Aloha Megan,
Izzy does it again!,,,Continously!
Glad you enjoyed Izzy's show and the paddle and hike to the falls.
A plus when you are under Izzy's "tutelage" she will fill your agenda with alternative activities to avail yourselves of while you stay on our little island.

I was worried about being able to drive, but the driving itself was easy, and it was my first time riding a buggy, which was amazing. The weather was nice, and it was a fun experience.
You line up, but if you're in the back from about the third row, you can get quite dirty, so be careful with your clothing. You can't choose your order; it's based on the line you stand in. If you can check your bag, it's better to do so. It gets pretty dirty (laughs).
運転できるか不安でしたが運転方法自体は簡単で、バギーも初めて乗りましたが最高でした。
天気も良く面白い体験ができました。
列になっていくのですが前から3列目くらいから後ろだと結構汚れるので服装は注意が必要です。順番は選べないので並んだ順です。

I was never bored thanks to our guide, Shoyou, and the trainee, Victor, who shared fascinating stories about the history, cuisine, and highlights of the Big Island during our journey to Mauna Kea. Fortunately, we were the only Japanese speakers, so the explanations were in Japanese.
After arriving at Mauna Kea, we enjoyed great locations at the summit and under the starry sky, where we took wonderful photos. The constellation explanations were also excellent. Although the half-moon made the moonlight a bit distracting, we were able to capture stunning photos of the Milky Way, which was truly moving. The sandwich we had along the way was delicious as well. I was completely satisfied with everything. Thank you!
ガイドのショウヨウさんと見習い中のビクターさんに、マウナケアへの道中からハワイ島の歴史、グルメ、おすすめポイントなど興味深い話で退屈することがありませんでした。また幸いな事に日本人しかいなかったので説明も日本語でした。
マウナケア到着後も山頂、星空ともグッドロケーションで素敵な写真を撮っていただき、また星座解説もよかったです。当日は半月で月明かりが気になりましたが、天の川が映った写真を撮って頂き、感動ものでした。途中で食べたサンドイッチも美味しかった。全て満足です、ありがとうございました。

This was well worth it!! The staff is excellent from the time you check in to the 3 guides that are with you zip lining to check out if you decide to get the pictures! We were with a great group of people and that made it more fun as you can get to know everyone in your group as it takes about 3 hrs to complete and there is time between each zip line. This was the best thing we did of all the activities myself and 2 kids (ages 15 and 18) did for the 6 days we were here! Highly recommend doing this if you want to zip line. Another thing that is regally nice is if you are staying in Waikīkī you get to drive to the other side of the island and if you have a rental car you get to see other parts of the island that are not full of tourist.

Had an excellent experience - pickup from our location on the western side of Maui was easy and extremely convenient. The guide, Yoshi, is very friendly and knowledgeable about the island, and a very courteous travel leader. It's a long ride up the mountain, but there are plenty of spots to acclimate to the changes. It gets cold no matter the time of year, but the provided coat and warm drinks will help considerably! Still, safe to bring more warm gear like a hoodie.
The sunset and stargazing part of the tour are breathtaking. It's a truly one of a kind location and expeeience that I can't recommend enough to anyone curious about it.

After a brief explanation, we were given helmets, goggles, and scarves to cover our noses, and then we set off. The scenery is irresistible for fans of the Jurassic Park movies. It was amazing! Riding the buggies on the mountain paths was thrilling. One thing to note is that this is the attraction where you will get the dirtiest, so be prepared for that.

This was such an amazing experience that I hardly know where to begin.
I can't say enough about Jen, who was our guide. From the moment we met her at 7:30 am (she was early to pick up near our residence) until she dropped us back home ~12 hours later, she made the trip such a positive experience. She was very personable and easy for my husband and I to chat with us as we made the ~1.5 hr drive to pick up the rest of the passengers in Hilo.
She was constantly pointing out areas of interest and sharing background information and context so that we could fully appreciate the sights of the Volcano park.
The 3 mile hike was great, and it was so interesting to spend time on the caldera floor, although I will admit that the trek back up truly tested my stamina!
All in all, an amazing day!
