All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I was picked up from the Aloha Landing bus stop at the Sheraton Hotel and participated in the tour. Since I was staying at the Sheraton, it was very convenient.

In Hawaii, eating and drinking are generally prohibited on the bus. I heard that bringing Starbucks coffee is not allowed, so please be careful.

It took about an hour and a half to reach Kualoa Ranch due to traffic and unexpected aggressive driving, and we arrived around 12:00. Perhaps because we were late, as soon as we arrived, my name was called, and I was directed to the horseback riding tour registration. First, I was asked to sign something like a consent form, and I received instructions on how to ride through a video in Japanese. After that, the horseback riding tour started right away.

Horseback riding was fun. Compared to the bus tours and ATV tours, it seemed like the range of activities was narrower, but if you want to take a closer look at the scenery of Kualoa Ranch, I recommend the horseback riding tour.

After the tour ended, I had a little time before the bus departure, so I bought some souvenirs and returned to the hotel. The $1 shopping bag that was recommended at the register is still one of my favorites.

シェラトンホテルのアロハランディングバス乗り場からピックアップしてもらい、参加しました。
シェラトンに宿泊していたので、とても楽でした。
ハワイでは、基本的にバスの中は飲食禁止です。スタバのコーヒーは持ち込みNGと言われている方がいましたのでご注意ください。

クアロアランチまでは、渋滞とまさかの煽り運転に巻き込まれて、1時間半ほどかかり、到着は12:00ごろになりました。予定より遅れたためか、到着するなり、すぐに名前を呼ばれ、乗馬のツアーの受付に案内されました。
まずは、同意書のようなものにサインを求められ、乗り方などは日本語の動画で説明を受けました。
その後、乗馬ツアーがすぐにスタートしました。

乗馬は楽しかったです。
バスツアーやバギーツアーに比べて、行動範囲は狭いように思いましたが、クアロアランチの風景をじっくりみたい方には乗馬ツアーはおすすめです。

ツアー終了後、バスの出発まで少し時間あったので、お土産を買い、ホテルへ戻りました。
レジでおすすめされた1ドルのショッピングバックは今でもお気に入りです。

We enjoyed our hike at Diamond Head. Gorgeous views! Go early. It gets hot. Driver was nice and provided us water. Would definitely recommend this excursion.

My wife and I participated together!
First of all, neither of us speaks a word of English, but it was not a problem at all! I've read in other people's experiences that there were Japanese speakers, but there weren't any during my time. However, it was no issue.

We used Google Translate, and when receiving explanations, they communicated with gestures, so it was easy. The instructor was kind and very reliable.

The check-in process was simple.

After check-in, we stored our belongings in a coin locker. There was no worry about theft. They provide you with a coin.

I think it's a good idea to purchase the video. There are two versions: one filmed from a third-party perspective by a cameraman, and the other attached to the instructor's arm. The instructor's footage was absolutely fantastic, so I think it's better to use the 100,000 yen for something else instead of flying with the cameraman. On the day, they also asked if I wanted a cameraman, but I said no thank you.

As for my experience, I felt no fear at all. The height was so extraordinary that the awe of the magnificent scenery outweighed any fear.

Also, I think motion sickness medication is essential. When the parachute opens and you descend, it sways a lot, so even with the medication, I felt a bit nauseous.

After the experience, we were given an envelope along with pens or award-like gifts for tips. It had guidance like, if it was good, put in 10; if it was really good, put in 20; if it was incredibly good, put in 30. You can just put in whatever you think is appropriate. Also, if you write a Google review, you can get a T-shirt, so definitely do that.

There was a shuttle service for both going and returning, so I gave the driver $20 (calculating $10 each way) on the way back. It was quite a long distance, so I gave a little extra. They were happy, and we both ended on a good note.

Overall, it was truly a wonderful experience, and I was very satisfied. I want to fly again!

妻と2人で参加しました！
まず、2人とも英語は1ミリも話せませんが、
全然問題なかったです！他の方の体験談では日本語話せる方がいたと記載ありますが、私の時はいませんでした。しかし問題なし。

Google翻訳を使用したり、説明を受ける時もジェスチャーで説明してくれるので余裕でした。
インストラクターの方も優しく、すごい頼りになります。

受付も簡単です。

荷物は受付終了後コインロッカーに預けます。
盗難の心配はなかったです。コインは渡してくれます。

動画は購入した方がいいと思います。
カメラマンが第三者目線で撮影したバージョンか、インストラクターの腕につけての2パターンあると思いますが、インストラクターの撮影で全然素晴らしいので、カメラマンと一緒に飛ぶ分の10万は別のことに使えばいいと思います。
当日も追加でカメラマンはどうですか？と聞かれますが、ノーサンキューと言いました。

体験談として、怖さは全くありませんでした。
非日常すぎる高さのため、怖いより壮大な景色に感動の方が大きいです。

あと酔い止めは必須かと。
パラシュート開いて降りる時、ユラユラユラユラ降りるので、酔い止めあっても少し酔いました。

チップは体験後、ペンや表彰的なプレゼントと共に封筒を渡されます。
そこに、良かったら10。すごくよかったら20。
死ぬほどよかったら30。みたいな案内があるので、自分の思うチップを入れて渡せばOKでした。
あと、Google口コミを書くとTシャツ貰えるので、是非。

行き帰り、送迎ありだったので
帰りに運転手に20ドル（片道10計算）渡しました。結構長い距離なので、気持ち多めに。
喜んでくれてお互い気持ちよく終われました。

以上、本当に素晴らしい体験で大満足でした。
また飛びたいと思います！

At first, I was nervous, but I gradually got used to it and was able to thoroughly enjoy horseback riding. It was my first time riding, but there were no issues. The scenery was amazing, and the staff were very kind.

最初は緊張しましたが、徐々に慣れてきてたっぷりと乗馬を楽しむことができました。初めての乗馬でしたが問題なかったです。景色が最高で、スタッフの方もとても親切でした。

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!

Joe and Kylie were great and a lot of fun.
Great afternoon and very organized.
Well done

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。

The outdoor riding at the very lovely farm was amazing! The horses were smart and gentle, and the friendly instructor provided freshly picked fruits and explained the nature around us, which made me very satisfied.

とても素敵なファームでの外乗、最高でした！
馬達は賢く穏やかでフレンドリーなインストラクターがもぎたてのフルーツをくれたり自然の説明をしてくれて大満足でした。

It was an amazing flight with very professional pilots. We were able to stay up for 40 minutes and catch amazing views of the ocean runway and mountains. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone. Thank you for treating us like family and we will forever be friends. Thank you Mr. Bill!!!

2-hour Raptor Tour
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.

2時間のラプターツアー
前後隊列を組みながらバギーを走るのは結構大変
私は身長が低いのでアクセルまで足がしっかり届かなくて、大変でした

前の車両からの砂埃を2時かん浴び続け、終わったあとは服も顔も、そりゃもう大変なことに！

貴重な撮影場所を間近でゆっくり観られるので、一度体験してみたらいいと思います

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.

The view was amazing. We were so well taken care of... the guide has been doing this for 20 years and HE made the experience. I would recommend this excursion. It was beyond what we expected!

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.

海辺を歩く乗馬体験はとても気持ちがよく
馬たちもおとなしいので、安心して
乗ることができました。

夫婦で参加しましたが、
そのほかに5人の参加者がいて、

1人が先導してくれて、もう1人が途中で
みんなの状況を見て、リードしてくれますので安心です。

ビーチで写真も撮ってくれるので
記念になります。
また次回ハワイに行った時にも参加したいツアーです。

乗馬の後は、ハレイワの街でゆっくりランチをしたり
お店巡りもできるのでお薦めです。

We had a great time at Kipu Ranch and would definitely return. The tour operators were so fun and knowledgeable. We loved hearing about the history of the Ranch and all the beautiful scenery. I highly recommend this tour if you are on Kauai!

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

Had a blast and would definitely return once we’re on the island. Facility was perfect and the crew/guide were very polite and accomodating.

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!

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。
かばんも預けれるなら預けたほうがいいですね。結構汚れます（笑）

Great staff, good people, really good experience. I regret that I don't remember my guides names but they were extremely kind, nice, helpful and friendly. I think one of their names was Aikika. Sorry if I butchered that. Anyways, I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone.

The zip line in the beautiful scenery was amazing! Although I can't speak English at all, the staff communicated with gestures and made me feel comfortable while having fun. I would like to try other activities as well.

素敵な景色の中でのジップラインは最高でした！
英語は全然話せない私ですが、スタッフの人が身振り手振りでレクチャーしてくれて不安なく遊ぶことができました。
また他のアクティビティも参加してみたいです。

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.

The guide was really awesome of the knowledge of the rainforest!

you get muddy, so definitely prepared what you wear! really gorgeous tour views!

Fun to get to see so many different sides to Kualoa Ranch, and with rides to from Waikiki it made the day a piece of cake!

The sunset through the clouds was what we were waiting to see on Maui! Was unreal!

to escape into the woods of kauai was so much fun!

Was a great afternoon driving through the trails to the waterfall! We hit every MUD hole there was along the way! Then stopped for a snack, took some pics of how Muddy we were then walked down to the waterfall and jumped in the refreshing water! The guides we Absolutely amazing, told us all about the history of the land and waterfall. Shared with us other places to stop and see on our trek back across the island, VERY FRIENDLY and all did and absolute amazing job making our day AMAZING! We definitely recommend this excursion for anyone, they won't disappoint!!

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.
