All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

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.

Every time I visit Northshore, it's always lively, but this time it was particularly vibrant. There were more Americans than Japanese, which was overwhelming. There are plenty of restrooms in the Haleiwa area, which is reassuring. I wished we could have driven to Turtle Bay... it's a bit of a regret. I found a limited edition Patagonia shirt with a Haleiwa logo and ended up buying a lot. The driver was kind, skilled at driving, and a great person. I would like to request them again. Highly recommended!

ドライバーさんも優しく、運転もお上手で良い方でした。また、お願いしたいです。おススメです。

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. Did you come in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty? We drove through clouds of dust that made it hard to see in front of us. We could only laugh at how dirty we got. It became one of the memorable experiences.

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!

I would highly recommend this activity. Everyone was so kind, since I was a little nervous, and helped me calm my fears. They are knowledgeable and fun as guides. And it was great that our party of 8 all got to ride together in solo ATVs! The only thing that could have made it even better is a little longer stint in the "free like a bird" ride...lol. But overall we all had a great time

I participated in this tour because you can only reach the summit of Mauna Kea with a tour. We headed towards Mauna Kea while learning about Hawaii's history. We were fortunate with the weather, and the sunset was truly magnificent. It can be quite cold even in summer. They provide jackets and pants, but if you prefer your own, it might be a good idea to bring a winter down jacket and a hat. We also enjoyed the sandwiches included in the tour here (they were very delicious). After that, we did some stargazing a little below the summit. There were so many stars, it was astonishing. We even saw artificial satellites. Enjoying hot chocolate in the cold was really warming. The guide shared the photos they took via AirDrop. It was a wonderful tour.

マウナケアの山頂はツアーでないと行けないのでこのツアーに参加しました。
ハワイの歴史などを解説してくれながらマウナケアに向かいます。
天気に恵まれサンセットは本当に素晴らしいものでした。
夏でもかなり寒いです。上着、ズボンなどを用意してくれてますが自分のものが良いという方は真冬のダウン、帽子を用意した方がいいかも
ツアーに含まれるサンドウィッチもここで頂きました。(とても美味しいです)
その後山頂から少し下りたところで星空鑑賞。こんなに星があるのかと言うほどたくさんの星出会います。人工衛星も見れました。
寒いところにホットチョコレートをいただき本当にホットしました。
ガイドさんが撮ってくれた写真もairdrop でシェア。
素晴らしいツアーでした。

The tour participants were from many countries, and it was so popular that I wondered if a single large bus could even accommodate everyone.

Since the tour would be canceled in case of rain, I was worried about the weather, but by the time we arrived at the location, it had cleared up.

The buggy experience was conducted in English, but they played a video in Japanese explaining how to operate the buggy, so I had no worries about driving. Even if something irregular happened, they kindly and clearly explained everything in English, so there was nothing to worry about. I have always been a fan of the Jurassic series, and I was truly moved to see the setting in person. It made me think again about how amazing the Earth is and how grand nature can be... It was a buggy tour that made me feel grateful to be here. I was simply overwhelmed by the magnificent scenery and couldn't take my eyes off it.

We stopped at various points, where they provided explanations of the scenery and time for photo opportunities, which was really great. (I couldn't understand most of the English explanations, though, haha.)

It might be an exaggeration, but if you're going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend seeing the scenery here at least once!!

(If I could be a little selfish, I wish we could have visited more filming locations from Jurassic Park...)

ツアー参加者は各国の人大勢で、大きなバス1台でもギリ乗り切れないんじゃないかくらいの人気だった。

雨が降ると中止になるツアーの為、天候悪化も心配していたが、無事現地に到着する頃には晴れてくれた。

バギー体験はもちろん英語のやりとりだが、バギーの乗り方の説明は日本語のビデオを流してくれた為、運転等の心配は全くなく、何かイレギュラーが発生しても英語で優しく分かりやすく教えてくれたので、何も心配はいらなかった。
私は元々ジュラシックシリーズのファンで、生でその舞台を見ることができて本当に感激だった。地球はすごいな、自然は壮大だな・・・と改めて思わせてるそんなバギーツアーだった。ここに来れて良かったと心底思えた。
ただただ壮大な景色に圧倒され、ずっと見惚れていた。
ポイントごとに停車して、景色の説明や写真撮影タイムが設けられていてすごくよかった。(英語の説明はほぼ理解できなかったけど笑)

でも大袈裟かもしれないけど、ハワイに行かれるなら、是非ここの景色は一度見てみてほしい！！

(ただ少しワガママを言うのであれば、もう少し、ジェラシックパークの撮影地を巡ってほしかったなぁ・・・)

I participated with four friends.
At the spot, the guide took fun photos from interesting angles, and we had a great time.
Since the explanations were only in English, I would have appreciated some guidance in Japanese, even if it was simple.

友人４人で参加しました。
スポットではガイドさんが面白いアングルで写真を撮ってくれたりと楽しめました。
説明が英語のみだったので、簡単でも良いので日本語での案内も欲しかったです。

The sunset at the summit was a fantastic experience, slowly sinking below the cloud horizon among the observatories. It felt like a scene from Mars, and I spent a precious time that I couldn't find anywhere else. Thank you!
At Masashi Nature School, I caught a cold, so they accommodated my schedule change and pickup location, which was a great help. There were only two of us, but S, a second-generation Japanese, explained everything well, which was nice.
The starry sky on the new moon was somewhat obstructed by the light from the rental car tire repair in the parking lot, which was a disappointing accident. However, I was able to see some stars.

山頂サンセットは天文台群の間、雲平線にゆっくりと沈んで行く、幻想的な素晴らしい体験が出来ました。火星のような景色でもあり、他では得られない貴重な時間を過ごしました。有難う！
まさしネイチャースクールでは風邪引いたので日程変更、ピックアップ場所変更応じてくれて、助かりました。2人だけでしたが、日本人は2世のS君がバランスよく説明してくれたので、良かったです。
新月だった星空は、駐車場でレンタカーパンク修理のライトが邪魔で、残念なアクシデントでした。星はそこそこ見る事が出来ました。

My wife and I participated together. First of all, the staff were very kind, and even though my English wasn't great, they managed to help me. The driving distance was much longer than I expected, and my wife and I took turns driving. Along the way, there were three locations where the staff provided detailed explanations in English, and they spoke slowly, so I was able to understand somewhat. In the last ten minutes, it started pouring rain, and we got completely soaked, but it was the best memory from our seven-night stay in Hawaii. I would like to stop by again next time I go.

妻と二人で参加しました。
先ずは、スタッフの方々がとても親切で、英語がうまく話せなくても何とか対応できました。
走行距離が思ってたよりもかなり長く妻と交代交代運転できました。
途中、３箇所でスタッフからの丁寧な説明があり、英語だったなど、ゆっくり話してくれたので、なんとなく理解できました。
最後の１０分、大雨になりずぶ濡れになりましたが、５泊７泊のハワイ在中で、一番の思い出です。
今度行く時も、また立ち寄りたいです。

I participated alone during my stay in Hilo. It was great to find a Mauna Kea tour departing from Hilo, as they are not easy to come by. The scenery while driving through Mauna Kea felt like I had arrived in another world. The sunset and the evening glow were wonderful. The starry sky was also breathtaking, with the Scorpius and the Southern Cross clearly visible. I'm not good at English, so I listened to the guide's talk while translating it with a translation app. It was a tour that nature lovers would absolutely enjoy.

ヒロに滞在中に一人で参加しました。
ヒロ発のマウナケアのツアーがなかなかなくて、
見つけられて良かったです。
マウナケアの懐を走っている時の景色は、
地球外に来たのではないかと思ってしまうような異空間でした。
また、サンセット、からの夕焼けは素晴らしかったです。
そして星空も、さそり座や南十字星が綺麗に見えて感動しました。
英語が苦手で、ガイドさんのトークは翻訳アプリで翻訳しながら聞いていました。
自然好きにはたまらないツアーでした。

Our guide, Justice was awesome! A wealth of knowledge and so enjoyable.

At the departure point in Kona, there were many clouds, and it rained along the way, which was concerning, but at the summit, it was above the clouds and the weather was nice. The sunset reflected beautifully off the clouds above. The starry sky was also wonderful. The guide was supposed to speak in English, but they communicated clearly in Japanese for the Japanese participants. The sandwiches were very delicious, and the cold weather preparations were good. I brought a knit hat, gloves, and a down jacket, so combined with the ski wear they lent me, I didn't feel too cold. I think this is one of the tours you should definitely take if you go to the Big Island.

コナ出発時点では、雲が多く、途中雨も降ったりで心配でしたが、山頂は雲の上で、良い天気でした。サンセットも丁度その上の雲に反射してとても綺麗でした。星空も素晴らしかったです。ガイドは英語で、との事でしたが、日本人には日本語でわかりやすく対応してくれました。サンドウィッチもとても美味しく、防寒対策も良かったです。ニット帽と手袋、ダウンは持参したので、それプラス貸してくれたスキーウェアでさほど寒さは感じませんでした。ハワイ島に行くなら、一度は行くべきツアーの一つだと思いました。

My wife and I experienced horseback riding for the first time. I was worried that the two-hour course might be too long for us at 60 years old, but it ended in no time. The scenery was amazing, and I definitely want to participate again next time.

初めて妻と２人で乗馬を体験しました。
２時間コースは６０歳の２人には長いのではないかと心配しましたが、あっという間に終わりました。景色も最高で、次も是非参加したいと思います。

I didn't expect to get covered in an incredible amount of dust while riding the four-wheeler, but it turned out to be a great memory. It was fun to explore the beautiful views at Kualoa Ranch. I was a bit disappointed that there was only an English guide available.

四輪バギーで、半端ない程のホコリ塗れになるとは思ってもおりませんでしたが、それはそれで良い思い出になりました。
クアロアランチの景色の良い所を回るので、楽しかったです。
英語ガイドしかなかったのが、ちょっと残念でした。

Our entire family (ages 17 to 55) really enjoyed this tour. Yoshi was a great guide and made sure we enjoyed the experience by providing chairs, warm clothing, blankets, and hot drinks. He also took pictures and gave hints on taking great pictures. Haleakalā is a great experience and is truly another world. You go above the clouds at 10K feet, so you don’t need to worry about visibility, and the star gazing is amazing. Unique and great experience!

This was a fabulous tour. Johnny and Keely were great guides. This was a ton of fun, but be warned, you will get dirty and quite possibly a little wet. Highly recommend this activity.

The only participants from Japan were us, but the staff were very kind. I checked the precautions in a Japanese video. There was a hole in the seat I sat in, and my backside got wet (from water after washing the car), but I quickly forgot about that while riding through the magnificent scenery, covered in dust. My wife was busy taking photos and videos while we were riding, but she stopped at key points for explanations and commemorative photos. It was very dusty, and it was quite a hassle when we got back. But it was fun. The dining area is a bit cramped, so when the bus tours return, a lot of people gather and form a line to order. We had our meal early, so there was no one around. There’s a sign that says "Order Here" on the far right of the food service area, so you can order there, pay at the register, and just wait for the buzzer to go off when your order is ready. The burgers are huge, so for an elderly couple like us, sharing one is just about right. I recommend having a meal before starting, as your mouth will get dusty too. Enjoy!

日本人の参加者は私達だけでしたが、スタッフの方々が親切に対応してくれました。注意事項は日本語のビデオで確認しました。私の座ったシートに穴が開いていて、お尻が濡れてしまいましたが（洗車した後の水）、そんな事もすぐに忘れるくらい壮大な景色の中を埃まみれで走りました。妻は走りながら写真にビデオに忙しそうでしたが、要所要所で止まって説明と記念写真です。とにかく埃で、帰ってきたときは大変でした。でも楽しかったです。食堂が少し狭いので、バスのツアーが帰ってくるとたくさんの人が集中してオーダーの列が出来ます。私たちは早めの食事をとったので、誰もいなかったです。食事を提供している所の一番右にオーダーヒヤーと書いた看板があるので、そこでオーダーしてレジでお金を払い、出来上がるまでブルブルが鳴るのを待っていればOKです。バーガーがでかいので、私たちの様な老夫婦でしたら、1個を二人で分け合ってちょうど良いくらいです。スタート前の食事をお勧めします。口の中も埃だらけになるからです。楽しんでください。

This tour was fun. Stupid fun. Like crazy, muddy, stupid fun! 10 out of 10 would recommend. We had a beautiful day with juuust enough rain to keep the mud nice and soft and sticky with a few big, slick puddles to splash through. Can't recommend this experience enough!

Bring clothing you don't mind getting dirty. Really, really dirty. And wet. You get the opportunity to hike down to a gorgeous, waterfall-fed pool for some swimming.

The guides were friendly and fun and we had a blast. The property is stunning and there are showers available for after the ride; bring a change of dry, clean clothes!
