Hawaii
I have a fear of heights, but thanks to everyone's reviews and the YouTube videos I watched to prepare, I really enjoyed the day! However, our lack of English skills meant that the details of our reservation were completely ignored. They were promoting plans like having another cameraman fly and take photos, and there are plans that allow you to fly even higher, targeting Japanese customers. As a beginner, I ended up with a plan that goes up to the highest altitude with an oxygen mask, which was a big misunderstanding, so please be careful! But it was so much fun!
高所恐怖症の私ですが、みなさんの感想やYouTubeの映像で予習していったおかげで当日は本当に楽しめました!!
ただ!!私達の英語力が無かったのでしょうがないですが、こちらで予約した内容は一切無視
もう1人カメラマンが飛んで撮影するプランがあるよ!もっと高く飛べるプランがあるよ!と日本人を狙って営業してきます
初心者なのに酸素マスク付きの最高度まであがるプランとなり大誤算でしたお気をつけください!
でもとっても楽しかったです!!
There were 4 adults in our group. The novice tour was fantastic. Joe was our tour guide and she was awesome! She made sure we were comfortable before taking off. Explaining every step of the way. Very knowledgeable of the area. There were a couple of challenges along the way (we had never ridden e-bikes before) but it was exactly what I had expected as far as the bike ride went and the tour was even better. If you are a movie buff or just want to see the views it is a great all around. Highly recommend the novice e-bike tour.
While riding a buggy, I toured filming locations like Jurassic World, and the views of the ocean and mountains from there were absolutely stunning!
I also had a lot of fun driving through bumpy roads and shallow river-like areas with the buggy!
There was a bit of waiting time before and after the activity, but there were places to eat and souvenir shops, so I didn't have any idle time, which was great!
バギーを乗りながらジュラシック・ワールド等の撮影地を周るのですが、そこから見る海や山がとにかく絶景でした!
そして凸凹道や浅い川のようなところをバギーで通ったりし、凄く楽しかったです!
アクティビティの前後の待ち時間が少々ありましたが、食事を食べれるところやお土産屋さんもあり、暇な時間ができなくて良かったです!
We had an amazing time riding the ATV. Our tour guides were great and kept us entertained. The views are great and the information was interesting. We will be coming back.
The only thing I would recommend is having a tour guide in the back as well as in the front. We had someone stay behind for about 10 minutes and there was no one to guide us in the back. Also please make the ATV's suitable for short people. I couldn't drive it, because I couldn't reach the peddles.
But over all an great experience. Loved it!!!!
It was lots of fun… the company we chose was great… easy pickup and return to your hotel area… people were super friendly and the breakfast part of it was a great option to choose… all good… the hike was awesome… be prepared though … water and light clothing… we went in August and it was very warm out even before sunrise. Excellent views… I would totally recommend this company for this event…!!!!! The views are amazing…!!!
Absolutely loved and enjoyed this experience. It was my husband’s first time, and he had the time of his life. This experience would have been nothing without the zip lining associates that were so professional, yet encouraging and light hearted at the same time! Special shoutout to Reagan & Shiloh, what an awesome crew! I forgot the guys name but he was great too, made some funny jokes on our atv ride out to the zip lines. Speaking of zip lines, such a fun experience and a great workout might I add. If you have a fear of heights that you want to get over, then this zip lining crew is the one you want!!
PS, if you’re driving from Wakiki to this place, be prepared to be blown away with some breathtaking views of the island!
My children had a blast that day! It was their first time on an ATV! The staff was extremely friendly, patient, & kind. We will be back again when we visit the Norrh Shore. What a great experience for all ages!
I could see so many stars, and even the Milky Way, which was amazing! The two guides were very nice and it was helpful that they could communicate in both English and Japanese. It was cold at the summit, but the sandwiches and cocoa were delicious, making it a very satisfying tour.
星がたくさん見え、天の川まで見れて最高でした!
ガイドさん2名も感じがよく、英語・日本語が対応可で助かりました。
頂上は寒いですが、サンドイッチとココアが美味しくとても満足なツアーでした。
First of all, it was really too much fun... The first one started with a bit of nervous excitement. But once it began, the amazing views, thrills, and enjoyment made it feel like no time had passed. I'm grateful to the girls who joined me and made it even more fun. Just remembering that feeling brings back the joy! The hike to the next zip line was quite tough, but it was so much fun that it made it all worthwhile! I want to participate again. Thank you!
まずはほんとに楽し過ぎて‥
一本目はちょっと緊張してドキドキからのスタートでした。でも始まってしまったら最高の景色とスリルと楽しさであっと言うまでした。
一緒に回ってくれた女の子達も楽しく盛り上げてくださり感謝です。
あの感覚を思い出すだけで楽しさがよみがえります!
次のジップラインまでのハイキングは結構キツかったけど、それが吹っ飛ぶほど楽し過ぎました!
また参加したいです。
ありがとうございました!
This was my first time participating in a tour at Kualoa Ranch. Since I had rented a car, I opted for a plan without transportation. With the no-transportation plan, there were no coordinators, so the process was simply checking in upon arrival, and it didn't matter whether I made the reservation here or directly on-site.
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, but there were two disappointing points. I had checked the best seats in advance, so I arrived early at the meeting place to secure a good seat. However, due to a Chinese family that arrived last, my seat was changed to the very back, which was the bumpiest spot.
Additionally, that Chinese family occupied the seats in front of us and, for some reason, kept eating rice balls and Spam in the shaking vehicle, creating a cloud of dust. I wanted to enjoy the natural scents, but instead, it smelled like Spam.
クアロアランチのツアーは初参加。レンタカーを借りていたので送迎なしのプランでした。送迎なしプランはコーディネーターさんなどいないので到着してチェックインしてといった流れでこちらで予約しても現地で直接予約しても変わりません。
ツアー自体は満喫しましたが残念だった点が2点ほど、
事前にベストの座席をチェックしていたので早めに集合場所に行き座席を確保したのですが、最後に来た中国人家族団体のせいで座席を変更されてしまいまさかの1番揺れる1番後ろの席になりました。
さらにその中国人家族団体は私たちの前の席を陣取っており何故か砂煙が舞う揺れる車中でずっとおにぎりやスパムを食べていました。せっかく自然の香りを堪能したかったのにスパム臭い。
Expérience géniale !
Dans un décor sublime un moment inoubliable
Je vous conseille le VTT Raptor pour faire le plein de sensations.
Vous pouvez venir avec vos enfants en toute sécurité !
This time, I had a two-hour horseback riding experience with my grandchildren. We leisurely toured a location that was also used for a movie shoot, making it a wonderful memory for my 70th birthday. Thank you very much! ^ ^
今回は孫たちと2時間の乗馬体験
2時間たっぷり 映画ロケ地にもなった場所をゆっくり巡り最高の古希の思い出になりました 有難うございました^ ^
It was drizzling at first, but later it cleared up and the scenery was amazing. Since it was an English guide, I couldn't really understand what was being said, but the horses were smart, so I managed to get by by watching them. Thank you very much.
最初霧雨だったけど、後から晴れて景色も最高でした。英語ガイドなので、ほぼ何を言っているのかわからないけど、馬が賢いので見よう見まねで何とかなりました。ありがとうございました。
Last time, I couldn't see the Milky Way at the summit of Mauna Kea during the full moon, so I went for a revenge trip. This time, I enjoyed a stargazing tour from the summit at sunset before the moon rose, and I was able to fully appreciate the Milky Way.
前回満月のマウナケア山頂で天の川が見えなかったので、リベンジしました。
今回は、まだ月が出ない状態での山頂サンセットからの星空ツアーとなり、天の川を堪能できました。
글라이더 투어 처음으로 해 보았습니다.
긴장이 되긴 했지만, 하기를 잘 했다고 생각이 듭니다.
하늘에서 감동을 잊을 수가 없습니다.
하와이에 왔다면, 꼭~ 유인 글라이더 투어를 하시기 바랍니다.
완전 강추 입니다.~^^
무한 도전에서 나오셨던 그 아저씨...
지금은 세월이 15년이나 흘러 할아버지가 되셨지만,
같이 사진 찍어 주시면서 다양한 포즈 취하게 해 주시고 ㅎㅎ
즐겁게 사진을 찍었습니다.
다음에 또 하와이를 간다면 글라이더 투어 한번 더 하고 싶네요~^^
No one spoke English, but the local coordinator was very kind, interesting, and made it enjoyable for us.
英語が誰ひとり、できませんでしたが、現地のコーディネーターの人が大変、優しく、おもしろく、接していただき楽しめる事ができました
I am at fault for being late, but I was delayed in checking in due to traffic conditions, and it seems my reasons were not accepted, so the fee of 150,000 yen will not be refunded. I thought at least I could change the time, but that was also not allowed. I feel so sorry for the children; it was the worst.
時間に遅れた私が悪いのですが、交通事情でチェックインに遅れ、理由を聞き入れてもらえず、代金15万円は返却されないようです。せめて時間変更をと思いましたが時間変更も駄目ということ、子供達が可哀想で可哀想で、、、最悪でした。
Right after jumping, my first impression was "It's cold!" But immediately after, I was shouting "Amazing! This is crazy, crazy!!" I want to experience it not just once, but two or three times.
飛んだ直後は「寒い!」と言うのが感想 でも直ぐに「最高!」「ヤバい、ヤバい!!」と叫んでました。
一度と言わずに二度、三度と体験したいです。
I took advantage of the pick-up service to Waikiki. In the morning, a cheerful older man came to pick me up in a van. All 11 of us boarded the 11-seater, and it took a little over an hour to reach the North Shore.
Upon arrival, I logged in using a touch panel. Everything was in English, but I managed to do it in about five minutes with Google Lens for translation. Then, I went to the register to pay a fuel surcharge of $15 and chose a photo package to complete the process.
I was expecting some safety instructions before the jump, but the instructor helped me put on the gear and briefly said in broken Japanese where to place my hands just before jumping, to "arch my back" while in the air, and to lift my legs upon landing. It was a bit confusing, and I felt a little discomfort when the gear accidentally hit my ear during removal, but I couldn't express it well. Other than that, it was fantastic.
After that, I boarded the plane, jumped, arched my back, lifted my legs, and landed. I received a souvenir at the end. At that time, I was given a bag for tips, which I placed in the box.
On the way back, I rode with the same group. It was a bit scary to eat a sandwich while using my smartphone and driving on the highway, but I made it back safely.
ワイキキへ迎えに来てくれるとのことでそれを利用しました。
朝、元気のいいおじさんがバンで迎えに来てくれました。
11人乗りに11人乗り込んで1時間強くらいでノースショアの現地につきました。
現地に着くとタッチパネルでログイン。
全部英語なのでgoogleレンズで翻訳しながら5分でできました。
そうしたらレジに行き燃料サーチャージ15ドル?を支払い。写真を撮るコースを選び完了。
飛ぶ前に何かしら注意事項があるのかと思っていましたが、インストラクターが器具を装着してくれながら、飛ぶ寸前は手はここ、飛んだら「エビゾリ」、着地は足上げてと片言の日本語で言われて終わりです。
着地して器具を外す時にたまたま耳に金具が当たり痛かったですが伝え方が分からずそこだけがモヤりましたが、あとは最高です。
あとは、飛行機に乗り込んでジャンプしてエビゾリして足上げて着地して終わりです。
記念品をもらいます。その時チップを入れる袋をもらいます。チップを入れて箱に入れます。
帰りの車も同じメンバーで乗って帰ります。
スマホいじりながらサンドイッチを食べながら高速道路を運転するのは少し怖かったですが無事帰りました。
We loved our Raptor trip at Kualoa Ranch. The property is beautiful with so many great stories, and the tour guides were great. We highly recommend!
Mauna Kea is higher than Mount Fuji, and since I have never climbed any mountain, let alone Fuji, I was a bit worried about possibly getting altitude sickness even before reaching the summit. Along the way, the guide kindly provided detailed information on how to prevent altitude sickness, and by following that advice, I was able to enjoy my time at the summit. The guide's stories were interesting, and the sunset view from the top of Mauna Kea was breathtaking. I also visited Oahu, but the summit of Mauna Kea was the best experience.
マウナケアは富士山よりも高く、富士山おろか山にも登ったことがないので、もしかしたら高山病になるんじゃないかと山頂に到着する前からびびっていました。途中に高山病を防ぐための注意事項をガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくれてそれを徹底することで山頂でも元気に過ごせました。ガイドさんのお話も面白く、マウナケアの山頂から見えるサンセットの景色も感動しました。オアフ島も艦娘しましたが、マウナケア山頂が一番よかったです。
There are convenient bus transfers from several major hotels in Waikiki. On the day of the trip, I was worried because the bus arrived about 10 minutes late due to a traffic jam, but I was able to board safely.
It takes about an hour by car from Waikiki to Mokuleia. During the ride, the driver gave a brief explanation in English (I couldn't catch much due to my own English skills, but it was no problem). The driver was a cheerful person who even started singing alone, which felt very American, haha.
For skydiving, after checking in, you take off following a brief lecture. You can enjoy beautiful views of the ocean and mountains, so I highly recommend it. This time, I jumped from 1,400 feet, but I would like to try 1,800 feet someday. You can also purchase videos and photos.
ワイキキ内のいくつかの主要ホテルからバス送迎があるので便利です。当日はtraffic jamでバスの到着が10分ほど遅れ心配しましたが、無事に乗れました。
ワイキキからモクレイアまで、車で約1時間ほど。車内でドライバーさんから簡単な説明を英語で受けました(自身の英語力の問題であまり聞き取れなかったですが、問題なしです)。ドライバーさんは愉快な方で、1人で歌を歌い始めたりしてアメリカンでした笑。
スカイダイビングは、受付後、簡単なレクチャーのあと飛び立ちます。綺麗な海と山々の景色を堪能できるのでとてもおすすめです。今回は1,400フィードで飛びましたが、いつか1,800フィートも試してみたい。動画や写真も買うことができます。
I have been staying in Honolulu for three consecutive years. I am spending a week here on a refreshing vacation, enjoying the cooler and more comfortable weather compared to Japan.
It has been my dream to become a pilot, and I try to experience as much flying as possible during my travels abroad. Taking off from Honolulu Airport, we headed towards the east coast via Diamond Head. The beautiful coastline took my breath away. The detailed explanations made the landing come quickly. Thank you to the driver for being so courteous from start to finish.
Finally, I have decided to start keeping a logbook. I definitely want to stop by again the next time I stay in Honolulu. Thank you! ♪
3年連続ホノルルに滞在しています。日本よりも涼しくて快適なホノルルにリフレッシュ休暇で一週間滞在しています。
パイロットになるのが夢で、海外旅行の際はできるだけ操縦体験をするようにしています。
ホノルル空港を飛び立ちダイヤモンドヘッド経由東海岸方面へ。綺麗な海岸線に心打たれます。きめ細かい説明をしていただきあっという間に着陸となりました。送迎のドライバーさんも最初から最後までご丁寧にありがとうございます。
ついに、ログブックをつけ始めることにしました。
また、ホノルルに滞在するときは必ず寄らせていただきたいです。ありがとうございました♪
What an amazing place, everyone was super friendly and we had a blast!! Cool places to stop and take pictures. Don't forget to bring a change of clothes.
I was thrilled to jump from the sky while enjoying the beautiful scenery in Hawaii! I fell at a speed of over 200 kilometers per hour, experiencing something I had never encountered before. ☺️
ハワイに綺麗に景色を眺めながら上空から飛び降りるスリルには感動しました!200キロ以上のスピードで落下し、今まで経験したことなかった体験が出来ました☺️
The Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour was amazing. It is a must do and the pictures are a treasure. Our guide was great, took picture that we downloaded and twas very informative.
It was my first experience with a buggy, and I had a great time. I was especially glad that my two grandchildren participated and were so delighted.
初めてのバギー体験でしたが、大変楽しくすごすことができました。とくに二人の孫が大喜びで参加して本当によかったと思いました。
I suggest to book this activity early. I wanted to book the ATV tour that is driven by us but those reservations were all gone. The only option was to be driven by a tour expert and I have to say that was the best! Our expert was very knowledgeable and friendly. If I would do it again I would definitely choose the option to be driven be an expert. The ranch is beautiful and views are breathtaking. Learning about the history was also great.
We Embarked on a magical family stargazing tour in Hawaii! Marvel at the breathtaking night sky, where countless stars twinkle above. We Learned about constellations and celestial wonders from knowledgeable guides. We Created unforgettable memories together as we connected with the universe and each other under the enchanting Hawaiian night. A must-experience adventure! Awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome

We were the only Japanese people there.
We rode horses in the spacious ranch.
We took a leisurely walk while explaining the grass, flowers, birds, and small animals in simple English.
The horse was calm and smart, so I only needed to control it with the reins when it stopped to eat grass; otherwise, it walked nicely.
We climbed a small hill and took commemorative photos at a scenic spot.
I had a very enjoyable time.
日本人は私達だけでした。
ゆったりと広い牧場内を乗馬。
簡単な英語で草花や鳥や小動物の説明をしながらの散策。
馬が大人しく頭がいいので、途中草を食べるのに止まるのを、手綱で制御するぐらいで、後はちゃんと歩いてくれます。
小高い丘を登り、景色の良い所で記念撮影。
とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
