Hawaii
I was worried about whether it would be okay to go horseback riding for two hours at the age of 70, but the guide's instruction was excellent and focused on safety. The two hours flew by. It's just a shame that I didn't get to see any dinosaurs. If I go to Oahu again, I will definitely experience horseback riding again.
初めての乗馬で2時間、70歳で大丈夫かなと心配しましたが、ガイドの指導も安全を考えて大変すばらしかった。あっとゆうまの2時間でした。ただ恐竜に会えなかったのが残念でした。オアフ島にまた行ったら乗馬体験またします。
If you follow the guide's advice, even beginners can be safe.
ガイドのアドバイスを守れば初心者でも安全です。
At Zavas, it takes a lot of time, but with the tour, we arrived in no time. There are no restrooms at the trailhead, so it's reassuring that we could stop at the beach's restroom along the way.
The Makapu'u Trail itself is an easy walk on a paved path, and since it was cloudy partway through, we were able to climb comfortably in the cool weather. We also saw whale spouts several times.
It was refreshing to see Diamond Head from a different angle than the Waikiki side.
ザバスではとても時間がかかるので、ツアーだとあっという間に到着。
登山口にはトイレがないので、途中でビーチのトイレに寄ってもらえるのも安心。
マカプウトレイル自体は舗装された道で歩きやすく、途中から曇りだったので涼しく登れました。
クジラの潮吹きも何度か見れました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドがワイキキ側とは違う方から見れて、新鮮でした。
Since there is no shade, don't forget to bring sun protection like a hat or sunglasses.
日陰がないので帽子やサングラスなど、日除けを忘れずに。
One tour had five different activities mixed together, which caused the return time to be delayed by one hour.
I think it's better to stop the practice of forcing tips with signs.
I would like the horseback riding staff to be positioned at the front and back of the line, not just one person at the front.
ひとつのツアーで5組のそれぞれ別のアクティビティが混ざったツアーになっていた為、戻り時間が1時間遅れになった
チップを強制する貼紙はやめたほうがいいと思う
乗馬スタッフは前一名でなく隊列の前後に付けてほしい
The horseback riding experience along the coast was truly beautiful with stunning scenery.
海沿いの乗馬体験自体はとても風光明媚な景色で素晴らかつた

Tour organizers were excellent, great communications. Captain Larry and first mate Zach were great, excellent hosts and put us on a bunch of fish.
Started slow, trolling until we reached the bottom fishing sites . Caught a few fish, including small barracudas. Finally hit a spot where the actions was wild, at one time five fish on at the same time. Zach ably handled it all, including taking our pictures with the fish. If you wanted to bring them home, Zach had some good recipes.
On the way into the harbor, saw over a half dozen whales. Great experience!
Gary was a knowledgeable and easy guide, and everything was well organized.
Wear easy zip layers for temperature changes.
The boat was very clean and spacious, and there were few waves or swells, so even small children were able to enjoy themselves. The captain, who spoke Japanese, and the friendly crew supported us with fishing, allowing us to catch several fish with great pulling sensation in a short amount of time. I go fishing in Japan as well, but it's rare to catch this many. We also encountered a group of sea turtles and dolphins, making for a very satisfying fishing trip.
船はとても清潔で広く、波やうねりも少ない為小さなお子様も楽しまれていました。
日本語も話せるキャプテンとフレンドリーなクルーが釣りをサポートしてくれて、短時間で引き味の良い魚を複数釣り上げることが出来ました。私は日本でも釣りに行きますが、こんなに釣れることは稀です。
ウミガメやイルカの集団にも遭遇して大満足の釣行になりました。
I originally signed up for 7:20, but I received a message the day before the tour asking to change it to 8:20. I couldn't answer the call because I was in another activity, and I only noticed the message later when I checked my email. It might be a good idea to check your phone and email frequently while staying in Hawaii, at least until the day before the tour.
A cheerful driver picked us up. We received water after descending (I might have wanted it earlier, haha). From the bottom, the summit looked very far away, and I was worried about whether I could return in two hours with my preschooler (who is in their last year). However, we were able to climb more smoothly than I expected. After descending, we had enough time to rest on a bench and look at souvenirs.
元々7:20で申込んでいましたが、ツアーの前日に8:20に変更して欲しいとの連絡がありました。
別のアクティビティ中に着信が来ていたので電話には出られず、後からメールを見て気づくことができました。
ハワイ滞在中でもツアー前日までは念のため電話、メールをこまめに確認しておくといいかもしれません。
陽気なドライバーさんが送迎してくれました。お水は下山した後にもらいました。(先に欲しかったかも笑)
下からは頂上がとても遠くに見えたので未就学児(年長)を連れて2時間で戻って来れるかなと不安になりましたが、思ったよりサクサク登れました。下山後もベンチで休憩したりお土産を見る時間的余裕がありました。
Cody and team were funny and attentive. The tubing was a blast. Definitely bring a long sleeve rash guard or if you get cold quickly seriously consider renting wet suit top. About 3 in our group of about 20 got quite cold. Rest of us were fine. This is a must do when on Kauai.
Bring sweatshirt on the bus for ride back. Do not leave food unattended at picnic area.
The course has changed since I experienced it a year ago, and we couldn't get close to the movie filming locations. The scenery was amazing, but I preferred the previous course. Although there was a shuttle service, the gap between the bus arrival/departure times and the experience was too long. It seems that for the 11:30 start time, the bus leaves just before that. I took a stroll on a nearby beach, but even then, I felt a bit at a loss for what to do.
一年前に体験した際とコースが変わっており、映画のロケ地の近くまでいけなかった。
景色は最高だったが、前回のコースの方が良かった。
送迎付きだったが、バスの到着出発時刻と体験の時刻の空き時間が長すぎた。
11:30開始の回だとちょうど一本前のバスが出た後だかららしい。
近くのビーチ散策をしたが、それでも少し持て余した。
My butt and legs hurt a lot.
お尻と足がすごく痛くなる
I stayed at King Kamehameha. While sitting on a bench outside the front desk, a friendly man named James came over to talk to me. He earnestly guided me in Japanese about volcanoes, lava, and stars, even if it was just a little bit. At the summit of Mauna Kea, I felt like I might be blown away by the strong winds, but he took a lot of photos for me. I was very satisfied to see many breathtaking views, including a large telescope, lava shaped in various colors, and the sunset. When it got cold, I was able to borrow high-performance cold-weather gear. The hot cocoa was also delicious. Thank you for the amazing experience!
キングカメハメハに宿泊していました。フロントの外のベンチで座っていると、気さくなジェームスさんが声をかけてくれました。少しですが、火山のこと、溶岩のこと、星のこと、日本語で一生懸命ガイドしてくださいました。マウナケアの山頂では強風で吹き飛ばされそうなりながら、たくさん写真を撮ってくださいました。大きな望遠鏡に、多彩な色で形作られた溶岩、夕焼けなど、たくさんの絶景がみられて大満足です。寒くなったら高性能な防寒着を貸し出してもらえました。ホットココアも美味しかったです。最高の体験をありがとうございました。
The summit will have temporary toilets. It's a good idea to bring wet wipes (and toilet paper as a last resort). A lightweight down jacket that is easy to put on was convenient during the journey in t
山頂は仮設トイレになります。ウェットティッシュ(最悪の場合はトイレットペーパーも)を持参した方が良いです。羽織りやすい薄手のダウンは道中の車内で便利でした。
The meeting place was easy to find, and Chris's explanations in both Japanese and English were great. I was especially glad that I signed up for the sunset tour.
集合場所もわかりやすく、担当のクリスさんの説明も日本語と英語で良かったです。特に、サンセットが申込んで良かったです。
I made the best memories.
I was able to experience the thin air environment.
The sunset, with nothing to obstruct it and higher than the clouds, was breathtaking‼️
The moon was too bright for stargazing, which was a bit disappointing, but I was thrilled to see so many satellites that I stopped counting them halfway through.
最高の思い出が出来ました。
空気が薄い環境を体感出来ました。
雲より高く何も妨げになるものがない中でのサンセットは感動‼️
月が明る過ぎて星空観察はチャッと残念でしたが、途中で数えるのをやめるくらいの人工衛星を見て感激しました。
You can be taken by car to the summit, and if it's cold, you can wait in the car. It was truly a kind and attentive tour. Everyone should definitely go. It might be better to check the weather and the
山頂まで車で連れて行ってもらえますし、、寒ければ車で待機させてもらえます。
本当に親切で丁寧なツアーでした。
皆様絶対行くべきです。
天気と月の状態は事前チェックがベターかも。
The Jurassic Valley Ranch ATV was a great experience and the staff was knowledgable and very informative. I would highly recommend this tour! Thank for a great time!
The one-hour course was just enough. All the staff were very nice, and we had a great time. The scenery was also amazing! My 10-year-old son was very satisfied as well.
1時間コースで十分でした。
スタッフもみんな感じがよくとても楽しめました。
景色も最高でした!
10歳の息子もとても満足していました。
It was refreshing to race through while enjoying the beautiful scenery in a buggy. There were also times when a herd of wild cattle crossed our path.
バギーで素敵な景色を見ながら走り抜けるのが爽快でした。
野生の牛の群れが横切ったりするこもありました。
You cannot go down to the filming spot of Jurassic Park (the place where bones are placed).
ジェラシックパークの撮影スポット(骨などが置いてある所)には降りられません。
It's been several years since I visited the summit of Mauna Kea. It was tough with temperatures at minus 10°C and strong winds, but I was able to see a wonderful sunset and starry sky. The guide also spoke Japanese, making it an enjoyable tour.
数年ぶりのマウナケア山頂へ。
マイナス10℃で風も強く大変でしたが、素晴らしい夕日と星空を見ることができました。
ガイドの方も日本語も話してくださったりと楽しいツアーでした。
Cold weather measures are essential!
寒さ対策は必須です!
Great time kayaking down the river. Fun and muddy hike to a beautiful waterfall. We had lunch there and a swim and then started the trip back. Harrison was our guide so knowledge and helpful. Recommend this fun adventure.
Make sure you have good shoes for hiking in the mud.
Aloha KNC,
Thanks for recommending us and for the 5 stars. On our hike to the falls we ask folks to at times to "embrace the mud" and while you are, Harrison is there to keep it fun, safe and informed.
And yes…some sort of aqua shoes or beater tennis shoes should work.
A hui hou,

The sunset and starry sky from the summit of Mauna Kea, which is higher than Mount Fuji, were amazing! My friend who went with me seemed to struggle with car sickness, but our guide, Sho-chan, was very kind and helpful, which I really appreciated. It was a tour I definitely want to join again!
富士山より高いマウナケア山頂から見る夕陽と星空は最高でした!
一緒に行った友人が車酔いで辛そうだったのですが、ガイドのしょーちゃんがとても優しく対応してくれてありがたかったです。
またぜひ参加したいと思うツアーでした!
The experience of riding while exploring the natural mountains and sea was truly amazing! The scenery changes in various ways, which was moving! I was completely satisfied with the full two hours! Although I did get a bit of muscle soreness, haha.
乗馬しながら自然の山や海を回れる体験は本当に最高でした!
景色も色々変わるので感動です!
2時間たっぷりで満足です!
ただ少し筋肉痛になります笑
Since there are moments when the horses relieve themselves, I think it's best to wear sneakers and clothes that can get a little dirty! Also, even if you're not good at English, you'll manage just fin
お馬さんが途中排泄する場面があるので、スニーカーや服は多少汚れてもいいものがいいと思います!
あと英語が苦手でもなんとかなります!
私は日本人スタッフが対応してくれました!
Today, I went to the summit of Mauna Kea to watch the sunset. Originally, it was supposed to be an English tour, but the guide spoke Japanese as well, which made it very easy to understand the content. The summit is cold, but they provided outerwear for rent, so it was comfortable!
本日、マウナケア山頂と夕日を行って来ました。本来は英語のツアーのはずでしたが、ガイドさんが日本語も話せる方で日本語でも対応していただき、凄く内容がわかりやすかったです
山頂は寒いですがアウターの貸し出しもあり快適でした!
It seems that some people experience not only altitude sickness but also motion sickness, so I think it's better for those who are sensitive to take medication before going.
高山病もそうですが、車酔いもする方がいるみたいで、弱い人は薬を飲んで行ったほうが良いと思います
I really enjoyed the explanations provided by Jonah at every place we visited. As we moved along while listening to his commentary, it felt like we arrived at our destinations on Oahu in no time, even though we traveled from one end to the other. Additionally, his recommendations for dishes were spot on, and everything was delicious.
ジョナさんが通る場所至る所の解説を日本語でしてくれるので、とても楽しめました。
解説を聞きながら進んでいたので、オアフ島を端から端まで移動したのに、すぐ着いた感覚になりました。
また、おすすめの料理などが的確で全てが美味しかったです。
Traveling across Oahu from one end to the other on your own can be quite challenging, so I think tours like this might be a good option!
自分達でオアフ島を端から端まで移動しながら観光するのは結構大変なので、こういうツアーもいいのかなって思います!
My first experience at Kualoa Ranch!
My companions wanted to do activities like buggies! They love Jurassic Park! I personally love Jumanji! I love nature! So, we started our buggy experience in the heavy rain☆
After the explanation in English, there was also a proper explanation in Japanese◎
After the buggy experience, we were able to enjoy our souvenirs and lunch at a leisurely pace♪
Although the weather was unfortunate, it meant there was no dust flying around, and we got to see the fantastic scenery of sun and rain, along with a rainbow, so it was great☆
クアロア・ランチ初体験!
同行者たちがバギーなどアクティビティがやりたい!ジュラシックパークが好き!私自身はジュマンジが好き!大自然が好き!って事で大雨のバギー体験スタートです☆
英語での説明の後、ちゃんと日本語での説明がありました◎
バギー体験後、お土産もランチもゆっくり楽しめました♪
あいにくのお天気でしたがその分埃が舞うこともなく太陽と雨の幻想的な景色や虹も見れたので良かったです☆
- If there's a forecast for rain, I think it's better to have a poncho or rainwear.
- You can place your luggage in the seat of the buggy (between the driver's seat and the passenger seat).
・雨予報があるならポンチョやレインウェアがあった方がいいと思います
・バギーの座席に荷物は置けました(運転席と助手席の間)
This was the tour I was looking forward to the most during my trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. The guide was polite and friendly, making it a fun experience from start to finish. Thank you so much! ♪
今回のハワイ島旅で一番楽しみにしていたツアーでした。ガイドの方の丁寧かつフレンドリーな感じで終始楽しく参加させて頂きました。ホントにありがとうございました♪
It will become a lifelong memory!
一生の思い出になりますよ!
We had such a great time! This was our first fishing charter and it didn’t disappoint! We not only got to fish but we also seen whales, dolphins, and a shark! It was the best part of our trip. The captain and the crew are AMAZING and entertaining. Totally give them 10/10!
I participated in a 2-hour buggy ride. Wearing a helmet is mandatory. Goggles and masks are provided. It's up to you whether to use them, but since you'll get covered in dust, I chose to wear them. The scenery is magnificent. They take you to filming locations from Jurassic Park and Jumanji. I think you can enjoy it even if you don't know the movies. You'll return to Honolulu around 2:00 PM.
2時間バギーに参加しました。
ヘルメットの着用が必須です。ゴーグルとマスクも渡されます。使用するかは自由ですが砂埃まみれになるので私は使用しました。
景色は壮大です。ジュラシックパークやジュマンジのロケ地に連れて行ってくれます。映画を知らなくても十分楽しめると思います。ホノルル帰着は14:00くらいです。
Wonderful~! The whole trip was wonderful~! Guides and driver were funny and welcoming, knowledge about everything was great! Would do it again~! Tunnels were not confining for members of group who were worried about claustrophobia. Lunch was great! Saw little tiny piglets on our drive. Beautiful views, gear was in great condition, did rent shoes (worked great). Drive was lovely, Felt safe the whole time. Relaxed and had a Wonderful time!
From Diamond Head to Haleiwa, there's so much to see. The ocean I want to visit on my trip to Hawaii, the gourmet food in Kahuku, and exploring Haleiwa Town—all of this for a price that's unmatched. Our guide, Jonathan, was very clear and helpful, which made the experience even better.

Hiking Diamond Head can be hot during the day, raising concerns about heatstroke, so it's recommended to go early in the morning before sunrise when it's cooler.
ダイヤモンドヘッドハイキングは、日中は暑くて、熱中症の心配がありますが、登るなら涼しい早朝日の出前がおすすめです。
The weather was perfect with no wind, and we had a truly happy time riding such cute and smart horses while enjoying the breathtaking views. Thanks to the guide's thoughtful care and gentle support, we felt safe and relaxed throughout the entire experience. My husband and I kept saying how much fun it was, and it truly became a wonderful memory for us. The woman who joined the tour with us was also very lovely, which made the atmosphere even nicer. This was one of the most unforgettable experiences of our trip to the Big Island. When we come back to Hawaii Island, we will definitely join again. If there were goods featuring the horse I rode or local items to support the ranch, I would have absolutely bought them. I would be so happy if you could create something like that. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!!

天気も最高で風もなく、素晴らしい景色の中で可愛くて賢いお馬さんに乗ることができ、本当に幸せな時間でした。ガイドさんの細やかな気遣いや優しいサポートのおかげで、終始安心して楽しむことができました。夫と「本当に楽しかったね」と何度も話すほど、心から素敵な思い出になりました。一緒に参加していた女性の方もとても素敵な方で、雰囲気もとても良く、ハワイ島旅行の中で忘れられない体験のひとつになりました。次にハワイ島に来た時も、絶対にまた参加したいです。自分が乗ったお馬さんのグッズや、牧場を応援できるローカルグッズがあったら必ず買っていたと思います。もし作っていただけたらとても嬉しいです。本当にありがとうございました!
My son experienced it. He said the scenery was really beautiful and he had a lot of fun. However, after spinning around and floating, his first words when he got off were, "I feel sick... tears."
息子が体験しました。とーっても景色が良くて楽しかったようです。しかし、ぐるんぐるん回転したり、ふわふわしたり…降りての第一声は「酔った…涙」でした。
I finally challenged myself to the skydiving I've always dreamed of. At first, I was nervous, but once I jumped, I experienced much more airtime than I had imagined, and I was truly moved by the breathtaking views and thrills.
The instructor who guided me was very friendly, and since I got to experience handling the controls, it felt great to not just be "flying," but to really feel like I was "participating" in the experience!
On the day of the jump, there is about a 30-minute wait from arrival until the jump, and another 30 minutes from landing until you leave, so it's a good idea to bring a mobile charger.
Regarding tips, there was a suggested amount written on the envelope given at the end, so I used that as a reference when I gave my tip.
It does take a bit of courage, but the unforgettable experience is worth it, so I highly recommend it for anyone looking to create special memories in Hawaii.
ずっと憧れていた念願のスカイダイビングに挑戦しました。
最初は緊張しましたが、いざ飛んでみると想像以上に滞空時間があり、景色もスリルも存分に楽しめて本当に感動しました。
担当してくれたインストラクターさんはとてもフレンドリーで、ハンドル操作を体験させてくれたこともあり、ただ飛ぶだけでなく「参加している」感覚が良かったです!
当日は到着してから飛ぶまで、また着地してから帰るまでにそれぞれ30分ほど待ち時間があるので、モバイル充電器を持っていった方がいいです。
チップについては、最後に渡される封筒に目安金額が記載されていたので、それを参考にしてお渡ししました。
少し勇気は要りますが、それ以上に忘れられない体験ができるので、ハワイで特別な思い出を作りたい方にはぜひおすすめしたいです。
