Hawaii
We had a great time at Kualoa Ranch! The visitor center was nice and had good food but the tour was outstanding! Johnny and Reece were great tour guides!
It was my first visit to Kualoa Ranch in 30 years. I still have the impression from my last visit that the horses are very intelligent, and I feel the same way this time. I was able to enjoy a happy two hours of horseback riding in a location that is hard to experience in Japan. The guide was also very pleasant. It was the perfect experience for someone like me who loves Westerns and has always wanted to ride a horse in the great outdoors.
30年ぶりのクアロアランチでした。
前回、お馬さんがとっても賢いというイメージが残っていましたが、今回も同感です。
日本ではなかなか味わえないロケーションで、2時間も乗馬を堪能できるという幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。
ガイドの方も感じが良かったです。
西部劇が好きで、大自然の中で馬に乗ってみたいな、と思っていた自分にはピッタリの体験でした。
Good family activity good picture taking moments!
The tour was amazing!! If I had to say something, it was that my face, shirt, pants, and luggage ended up completely black from the dust! Haha. If you take precautions, it’s not a problem!
As for precautions:
1. Make sure to wear the goggles that come with the helmet properly! Don’t leave any gaps on your forehead. The black ones will target those gaps!
2. I recommend covering the area under the goggles (around the nose and between the eyebrows) with a mask or something! The black ones love gaps!
3. Either wear earplugs and nose plugs while riding, or just accept that you’ll have to wash off the black dirt from your ears, nose, and eyes thoroughly after returning to the hotel... because the black ones are merciless if you show them any gaps.
4. Wear shirts and pants that you don’t mind getting dirty! Since it’s dirt, it will come off with washing, but until you get to the hotel, the parts not covered by the seatbelt will turn black!
I was told that there is only one staff member who speaks Japanese, but surprisingly, there are several staff members who speak simple Japanese and make it enjoyable. It was a really fun place!
ツアーは最高でした!!
強いて言うなら、土煙で顔、シャツ、パンツ、荷物が真っ黒になってしまいました!笑
対策をすれば問題なし!
対策としては、
①ヘルメットに付属しているゴーグルをしっかりつける!おでこにスキマを作らない。黒いやつらはスキマを狙ってくる!
②ゴーグル下(鼻のスキマ、眉間付近も)をマスクなどで覆うことを勧めます!黒いやつらはスキマが大好き!
③走行中耳栓、鼻栓をするか
諦めて、ホテルに帰ってからしっかり耳や鼻、目から出てくる黒い土を洗い流すのか、、、
なぜなら黒いやつらはスキマを見せると容赦ない
④汚れてもいいシャツ、パンツで行くこと!土なので洗濯すれば落ちますが、ホテルまではシートベルトを除く部分は黒になります!
参考に日本語喋れるスタッフは1人しかいないと説明受けましたが、案外簡単な日本語喋ってくれるスタッフが数名いて楽しませてくれます。
とても楽しいとこでした。
Scenery was ok, very dusty ride on raptor 4 wheel drive. No warning of dusty conditions. Couldn’t breathe. Food was ok. Not enough toilet facilities
The Kualoa Ranch was the best part of our trip! It is the most perfect place to see beautiful Oahu and such an amazing experience. The tour guides are the best and so informative of the Hawaiian culture and best sources of information. They only added more to such an amazing experience.
Our tour guide Keoki (George) was amazing. He took us throughout the land and showed us all around the area. We didn't know what to expect when we went on this tour and this tour blew our minds. We rode for hours and the scenery was amazing. Keoki went above and beyond and took pictures and videos for us. We learned about the history, plantation and so much more. I love the fact that it's a private tour and only a few people were on the tour.
It made it so much more personal. Thank you Keoki! Looking forward to doing this tour again when we come back to visit.
I participated in the buggy tour, but I forgot to bring my driver's license, which made me worry that I wouldn't be able to join on time. However, the staff were very accommodating and I was able to participate as planned.
The area is vast, with beautiful landscapes and valleys, and you ride the buggy through stunning scenery. There's a lot of dust, so it's a good idea to cover yourself with gloves and a hoodie that you don't mind getting dirty to enjoy the experience comfortably.
バギーに参加でしたが、免許証の持参忘れがあり、時間通りに参加出来ないかもっとなりましたが、スタッフの方が臨機応変に対応してくれて、予定通りに参加できました。
広大で土地と渓谷、素晴らしい景色広がるところをバギーに乗って進んでいきます。ものすごい砂埃ですので、ご自身でも手袋とか汚れても良いパーカーなどで全身覆っておくと快適に参加できますよ。
There is a reception area at the entrance of Aloha Port Harbor. It's number 61.
There was staff who could speak a little Japanese. The local people teach the basic fishing techniques in English.
We used squid as bait and dropped weights to the seabed to fish. If there were no bites, the captain would move the boat to find a new spot.
I had three incredibly strong bites, but they got away. I'm not sure what kind of fish they were.
It seems that any fish caught are generally released. They didn't cook them on the spot, but they could tell us the types and names of the fish.
The children who love fishing were having a great time.
The boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is essential. The sun is also strong, so sunscreen is a must.
It was refreshing to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from a different angle.
アラワイポートハーバの入り口に受付場所があります。61番です。
日本語を、わずかに話せるスタッフがいました。
基本的な釣りの手技は現地の人が英語で教えてくれます。
イカを餌にオモリを海底まで垂らして釣るというものでした。当たりがないと船長さんが船を移動させてスポットを探してくれます。
とてつもなく引きの強いアタリが、3度ほどありましたが逃げられてしまいました。何の魚だったのかは不明です。
釣れた魚は基本的にリリースするようです。その場で調理することはありませんでした。しかし魚の種類や名前は教えてもらえます。
釣り好きの子供達は楽しんでおりました。
船はかなり揺れますので酔い止めは、必須です。
日差しも強あので日焼け止めも必須です。
いつもと違う角度からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドが見られるのでその点も新鮮でした。
Everyone is posting only positive things, so I would like to share a negative experience. My wife and I, a couple in our 60s, participated in this trip. Both of us enjoy mountain climbing back home and climb mountains close to 3,000 meters every year, so we thought we would be fine at Mauna Kea, which is 4,205 meters high. However, after staying at the summit, my wife's condition quickly worsened; she began to experience numbness in her hands and feet and her complexion became poor. Fortunately, with oxygen provided by the staff, she improved, but she still felt the effects until the following morning.
Since we are climbing a significantly high mountain, I recommend considering the risk of altitude sickness before participating.
皆さん、良い事ばかりを投稿していますのであえてネガティブな投稿をさせていただきます。
家内と二人で参加した60代の夫婦です。二人とも本国では登山が趣味なため3,000メートル近い山に毎年登っており、今回のマウナケア4,205メートルでも大丈夫だと思っていました。ところが、頂上に滞在後家内の体調がみるみる悪くなり手足に痺れが出始め顔色も悪くなりました。幸いスタッフの方による酸素投与で良くなりましたが翌日の午前まではダメージがありました。
かなり高度な山に登りますので高山病のリスクが必ずある事を考えて参加する事をお勧めします。
Highly recommend for anyone a great family activity!
I had a great time. The guide was kind and took our photo as a couple when I handed over my phone to capture the memory. The scenery was wonderful, and riding the buggy through the mountains felt amazing. This is definitely a place you should visit.
とても楽しかったです。
ガイドさんも優しくて夫婦2人の写真で記念に残るようにと携帯を渡すとガイドさんが写真も撮ってくれます。景色も素晴らしくバギーで山を走るのはとても気持ちが良かったです。
絶対に行くべき所です。
My girlfriend and I had a blast! We will recommend to others visiting the beautiful island of Kauai! Thank you Tia. She was awesome. Very entertaining.
They arrived on time to pick us up. All the tour participants were Japanese, and they provided guidance in Japanese. The explanations were very easy to understand.
After acclimatizing at the Onizuka Center, we headed to the summit of Mauna Kea. It was quite cold at the summit, and although we brought our own cold weather gear, we borrowed some as well. There were a few clouds, but we were able to see a beautiful sunset. After watching the sunset, we did some stargazing at an altitude of about 3,500 meters. It was a bit cloudy, which made it hard to see, and that was a bit disappointing.
時間通りお迎えにきてくれました。ツアー参加者全員が日本人であり、日本語でのガイドをしてくれました。非常にわかりやすい説明でした。
オニズカセンターで、高地順応をした後、マウナケア山頂に向かいました。山頂はかなり寒く、防寒具を持っていってましたが、防寒具をおかりしました。少し雲がありましたが、きれいな夕日を見ることができました。夕日をみたあと、標高3500mくらいのところで、星空観測を行いました。若干、雲があり、見にくかったのが、残念でした。
It was a great tour, our guide was so informative and fun, I would recomend this tour 100%
Aloha Haydee,
Thanks for taking the time to review and for recommending us.
After 40 years we still do not rest on our laurels.
We do have a great crew from the time you give us a call to when we get you out in the "great quiet".
Stay well and active.
A hui hou,
Micco/Head Guide
I was picked up by the owner, Kaz, and his wife. They were so friendly that it felt like we had known each other for a long time, and they shared a lot of information about the Cessna experience and Hawaii.
After arriving at the office, I was taught how to operate the Cessna, and then we set off.
The course departed from and returned to Honolulu Airport, flying over Ala Moana, out to the waters off Honolulu, passing Diamond Head, Makapu'u Point, the sandbars of Kailua and Kaneohe, Kualoa Ranch, the North Shore, Dole Plantation, Pearl Harbor, and we circled around Oahu in about an hour.
Around the area past Diamond Head, I was allowed to take the controls, and I nervously moved the yoke up and down and side to side, experiencing the strange sensation of flying by my own will. The pilot sitting next to me adjusted the yoke and engine power (similar to a driving school car), so I didn't feel scared at all. Once I got used to it, it was truly enjoyable, and it's hard to put into words, but everything I saw was amazing. My kids, in the back seat, were taking pictures and having a great time, and they even started dozing off around the North Shore due to the comfort. I had given them motion sickness medication, but it turned out to be unnecessary for my kids.
What surprised me the most was being able to see Hawaii's great nature from above. This was my third time in Hawaii, and I had only been to Waikiki, Ala Moana, downtown, and the North Shore, but seeing the eastern coast of Oahu from the air allowed me to truly feel the grandeur of Hawaii's nature, making me love Hawaii even more.
We circled over Pearl Harbor about three times while waiting for our turn to land, and I found myself pondering how Japanese soldiers must have felt 80 years ago while flying over. It was unexpectedly profound.
Despite the expensive optional tour due to the yen's depreciation after 34 years, I believe it was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It seems that Cessna flight experiences are only available in three places worldwide, so if the timing is right, I highly recommend it. I think it will create wonderful memories for my kids as well.
迎えはオーナーのカズさんと奥様にきていただきました。初対面とは思えないくらい気さくで、セスナ体験について、ハワイについていろいろ教えていただきました。
オフィスに到着後、セスナの操縦について教えていただき、いざ出発。
コースはホノルル空港を発着し、アラモアナ上空からホノルル沖へ出て、ダイアモンドヘッド、マカプウ岬、カイルア、カネオヘのサンドバー、クアロアランチ、ノースショア、Doleプランテーション、パールハーバーとオアフを1時間ほどで半周しました。
ダイアモンドヘッドを超えたあたりで、操縦を任せて頂き、恐る恐るハンドルを上下左右に動かし、自らの意思で飛んでいる不思議な感覚を得ました。隣に座っているパイロットの方がハンドル操作とエンジン出力を調整してくれる(自動車教習所の車みたいなイメージ)ため、怖いという印象はありません。
慣れてからは本当に楽しく、言葉に表すことが難しいですが、目に飛び込んでくるもの全てが最高でした。
小6と小3の子も後部座席で撮影をしながら終始楽しんでいて、あまりの心地よさでノースショアあたりからうたた寝を始めましたw
酔い止め薬を飲ませていましたが、うちの子達には不要でした。
また予想外に良かったのは、ハワイの大自然を上空から見られたことです。私はハワイに来たのは3回目で、ワイキキやアラモアナ、ダウンタウン、ノースショアあたりしか行ったことが無かったのですが、オアフの東海岸を上空から見ることで、ハワイの大自然や雄大さを肌で感じることができ、より一層ハワイが好きになりました。
また着陸の順番待ち?のためか、パールハーバー上空を3週ほど旋回したのですが、80年前の日本兵はどんな風に見ていたのだろうともの思いにふけながら、飛ぶこともでき、こちらも予想外に大変感慨深かったです。
34年ぶりの円安で高価なオプショナルツアーになりましたが、間違いなく、生涯記憶に残る体験ができたと思います。セスナの体験操縦は世界でも3箇所?しか出来ないようで、タイミングが合えば是非オススメです。
子供達とも楽しい思い出になるのではと思います。
We tried ATV and Jurassic park,
Beautiful sceneries and fun movie settings.
Great day out for both of us.
I thought it was a great plan to combine Diamond Head and Makapu'u Trail, allowing us to make effective use of our time. We hiked as a couple in our 60s, and there were no dangerous areas. It wasn't crowded, and everyone was well-mannered, allowing us to navigate the narrow spots by yielding to each other. You can enjoy a sense of unity with nature while listening to the birds chirping. The last stairs at Diamond Head are a bit tough, but that’s what makes it rewarding. The view of Honolulu and the ocean from the mountain is truly beautiful. This was my second time on Makapu'u Trail, and I couldn't forget the coastal views, so I decided to join again. At first, you might think the gradual slope is boring, but once you turn the first curve, the amazing scenery begins, so please be patient and keep climbing. The paved path is easy to walk on, but there’s no place to avoid direct sunlight, so a hat, rash guard, and water are essential. Next time, I definitely want to see whales, so I hope to join in the winter.
ダイヤモンドヘッドとマカプウトレイルがセットになっているので、時間を有効活用できるよいプランだと思いました。60代夫婦で登りましたが、危険なエリアもなく、混んでいなかったこともありますがみなさんマナーが良く、狭いところは譲り合いながら進むことができました。鳥のさえずりを聞きながら自然との一体感が味わえます。ダイヤモンドヘッドはラストの階段が少しきついですがだからこその達成感。山から見るホノルルの町と海は本当に美しいです。マカプウトレイルは2度目ですが岸壁の海の景色が忘れられず参加しました。初めはだらだらとした坂でつまらないと思うかもしれませんが、初めのカープを曲がったところから素晴らしい景色が始まりますので、根気よく登ってください。舗装されて道路で歩きやすいのですが、直射日光を避けるところがないため、帽子とラッシュガード、水は必須です。次回はぜひクジラが見たいので冬に参加したいです。
I found a dream activity of piloting a Cessna and signed up for my husband, who loves airplanes. I'm not very good with heights, but I took a seat in the back and challenged myself to film with a rented GoPro.
My impression is... it was simply the best!! You can experience a world beyond the ordinary!
Many of the staff at Lanilea are Japanese, so there’s no anxiety about language barriers, allowing me to ask questions with ease. I made some unreasonable requests, but they kindly listened to me. Thank you to the cheerful owner.
I'm glad I had the courage to sign up! Seeing Hawaii from the sky was exceptionally awesome!☆
セスナの操縦体験という夢のようなアクティビティを見つけ、飛行機好きの夫の為に申し込みました。私は高いところがあまり得意ではありませんが、後部座席に乗車し、レンタルのゴープロを片手に撮影に挑みました。
感想は、、、とにかく最高です!!
非日常の世界を味わえます!
ラニレアのスタッフの方々も日本人の方が多く、言葉が通じないという不安もない為、安心して質問が出来ますし、いろいろ無茶なお願いもするだけタダなのでしてみたところ、ご親切に聞いて下さったように思います。
ノリの良いオーナー様、ありがとうございました。
勇気を出して申し込みしてよかったです!
大空から見るハワイは格別にAwesomeでした☆
I have experienced five tours at Kualoa Ranch. I took the movie bus twice, went horseback riding, and did zip-lining. I highly recommend it. You can enjoy the scenery and points at a more leisurely pace compared to the bus tour. If you can ride a bike, you can move around effortlessly with the electric assist, which reduces fatigue and keeps you clean. I definitely want to participate again on my next trip with my nieces and nephews, but I'm only worried about the rain.
クアロアランチのツアーはこれで5つ体験しました。映画バスを2回、乗馬、ジップ。1番おすすめです。バスツアーよりもゆっくり景色やポイントを満喫出来ます。自転車に乗れる方なら電動アシストで苦痛なく移動出来て疲労も汚れることも少ないです。次回甥姪との旅行でも必ず参加したいと思っていますが雨だけが心配です。
Surrounded by the nature of Kualoa, I had a great experience with seven zip lines, creating wonderful memories. Although it was a small group, I felt a bit confused because we were with a noisy group.
クアロアの自然に囲まれて7本のジップが体験出来て良い思い出になりました。少人数ですが騒がしいグループと一緒だったので少し戸惑いました。
It was amazing to enjoy two hours of horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch! The initial meeting place and other explanations were provided by a Japanese person, and from the actual horseback riding onward, the guide spoke only in English. They communicated directions like "left" and "right" in Japanese, but everything else was explained in English! (I think it might vary depending on which guide you get.)
The horses each seemed to have different personalities, and it appeared that the order in which they walked the course changed depending on the day. I was at the front, but the guide didn't always walk right in front of me, so there were times when I had to properly control the reins and change direction myself!
The horses were very smart, and I was able to enjoy the natural surroundings and horseback riding in a relaxed manner for the full two hours! The items you can bring while riding are drinks and smartphones, but you are advised to never let go of the reins with your left hand for the entire two hours. So, basically, you will be drinking water or using your smartphone with one hand! You also need to be careful not to drop your smartphone, as you can't pick it up while riding!
2時間乗馬しながらクアロアランチを楽しむことができ最高でした!
最初の集合場所などの説明は日本人の方が行い、実際の乗馬からは英語のみのガイドになりました!
進行方向を教えてくれる右左などの単語は日本語で話してくれましたが、それ以外は英語で説明でした!(たぶんどのガイドさんがついてくれるのかで変わると思います)
お馬さん達もそれぞれ性格が違うようで、その時によって誰がどの順番でコースを歩くのかは変わるようです
(私は先頭だったのですが、常にガイドさんが私の前で歩いていくれているわけではないので、自分手綱をちゃんとコントロールして方向を変えないといけない時がありました!)
お馬さん達も非常に賢く、2時間自然も乗馬もゆったり楽しみながら過ごすことができました!
乗馬中に持ち込める荷物は飲みものとスマホなどでしたが、左手で持つ手綱は2時間絶対離さないようにと注意を受けるので、
基本的には片手で水を飲んだり、スマホを使ったりすることになります!
スマホも落とすと乗馬中は拾えないので、絶対落とさないように注意が必要です!
This is a tour that you definitely want to join if you have a Japanese driver's license! The time, content, scenery, and guide are all fantastic, and you can enjoy it even if you don't speak English! The sand and dust are intense, and you'll end up completely covered in dirt afterward. Other activities also look fun, but this one is more than enough. In the afternoon, a stroll around Waikiki might be nice.
これは日本の車免許あるなら是非参加してほしいツアー!時間も内容も景色もガイドさんも文句なしで楽しめます英語はできなくても十分楽しめます!とにかく砂ホコリは半端ないし、終わったら身体中真っ黒他のアクティビティも楽しそうだけど、これだけで十分です。午後はワイキキお散歩とかいいかも。
I was a bit anxious because my English isn't very good, but when I arrived, the Japanese staff explained the meeting point for the tour, the location of the restrooms, and what to bring. The staff for the horseback riding tour spoke English, but some of them spoke a little Japanese and used simple words to make things clear, which was very kind of them. There was also a Japanese video prepared for the horseback riding instructions.
The horses are very smart and will move and stop in sync with the horse in front of them without needing much direction from us.
However, each horse seems to have its own personality; the horse I rode wanted to eat grass right away, making it difficult to pull on the reins, and my arms started to hurt. I was a bit scared that it would lean forward to eat grass and I might fall off.
The scenery was beautiful, and the experience of horseback riding in nature was a valuable one.
英語があまりできないので少し不安でしたが、現地につくと日本人のスタッフの方がツアーの集合場所やトイレの場所、持ち物等の説明してくれます。乗馬ツアーのスタッフの方は英語でしたが、少し日本語を話してくれる方がいたり、わかりやすいように単語で言ってくれたりとみなさん親切で、乗馬の説明は日本語のビデオが用意されていました。
馬はとても賢く、こちらが指示しなくても前の馬に合わせて進んだり止まったりしてくれます。
ただ馬によって個性があるようで、私が乗った馬はすぐに草を食べようとするので手綱を引くのが大変で腕が痛くなり、草を食べようと前傾姿勢になるので落ちるのではと少し怖かったです。
景色はとても綺麗で大自然の中での乗馬体験は貴重な経験になりました。
The atv was basically a track on a large piece of property- nice view but guess we had expected a ride to woods to a waterfall. The waterfall view is best from the gift shop but it was fun to swim in their river. Didn’t feel like we were really out in nature.
My husband wanted to go faster on the atv- but it was fine for me as a newbie and more cautious person. The guides were very nice. It was overall ok- but very pricey for the experience we thought.
********************
◎Tips and Warnings
Be careful with your clothes and bags as they can get quite dirty. Your face will also get covered in dust, so it's a good idea to bring face wipes.
It might help to watch the Jurassic Park movies beforehand to better understand the explanations, as the guide speaks English quite quickly.
The photos are taken in a fun way.
It's best to take turns driving, but the second half of the drive is more challenging (with puddles and uneven roads), so it's advisable for someone who isn't very confident to drive at first! Even with breaks every two hours, you might find your back and hands getting tired from holding the wheel!
For lunch, you can either bring your own or eat at a local café that serves burgers, hot dogs, and fries. This café closes around 4 PM, so choosing a later tour time might cause some issues. Prices are around $15 for a burger and $3.50 for water.
◎Impressions
The kids were very happy! There are also horses, so you can pet them while waiting. The scenery was incredibly beautiful and majestic!
◎注意と楽しむヒント
本当にかなり汚れるので服や鞄には注意。
顔も土埃だらけになるので顔を拭くシート持っていくとよいです。
ジェラシックパークの映画を見ておいた方が説明がわかるかも?ガイドさんの話す英語は早いので。
写真は面白い感じでもとってくださります。
運転は交代交代交代でするとよいですが、後半のが運転が難しいので、(水たまりとかアップダウンがある道)最初にあまり得意でない人が運転するとよいです!2時間休憩しつつも運転するので案外腰とハンドル持つ手が疲れます!
お昼ごはんは持参するか、現地のカフェでバーガーやホットドッグ、ポテトくらいがあるところでたべるとよいです。このカフェは閉まるのが16時とかなのでツアーの始まるのが遅い時間を選ぶと困る可能性があります。
物価はバーガー15ドル、お水3.5ドルくらい
◎感想
子供はとても喜んでいました!馬もいるので待ってる間に触れます。
景色はめちゃくちゃ綺麗で壮大でした!
Thanks to the Japanese guide, I was able to enjoy the experience without any difficulties! Although it was an 80% moon, the starry sky was beautiful, and at the summit, I witnessed the sunrise rising above the sea of clouds, which was a precious experience!
日本語ガイドのおかげで終始不自由なく過ごせました!80%の月でしたが、星空も綺麗に見え、頂上では雲海に登る太陽と朝焼けが見え、貴重な経験でした!
I think you'll enjoy it even more if you watch Jurassic Park before you go! Driving on rough roads is a lot of fun, but if you're not a fan of dust, it's a good idea to bring a poncho or something similar, as it can get quite dirty. Even though I got dirty, it was a very satisfying experience, so definitely ride the buggy! ✨
行く前にジュラシックパークを見てから行くと更に楽しめると思います!
悪路走行がとても楽しく、砂埃が嫌な方はポンチョ等持参した方が良いぐらい汚れます。
汚れても大満足な体験でしたのでぜひバギーに乗ってください✨
I finally got to visit Manoa Falls, which I had wanted to see for a long time. I signed up for a Japanese tour, but I was the only Japanese person there. However, the guide was Japanese, and even the English explanations were very easy to understand.
The hike was quite tough, and the walking stick they lent me was very helpful. I wore long sleeves and long pants, but I was sweating a lot along the way. I wanted to take them off, but I was afraid of getting bitten by mosquitoes, so I endured it.
My shoes ended up muddy. There is a place to wash them, so you can get some of the dirt off, but they won't get completely clean, so I think it's best to wear shoes that you don't mind throwing away.
For lunch, we ate on Tantalus Hill while looking at Diamond Head and Waikiki. The view was much nicer than at night.
The sandwich was very delicious. It was from the sandwich shop next to the Starbucks in Manoa.
I'm glad I had such a fun experience.
ずっと来たいと思っていたマノア滝にやっと行けました。日本語ツアーで申し込みましたが、日本人は私のみ。ですが、ガイドの方が日本の方で英語の説明でもとてもわかりやすく私でも理解できました。
ハイキングは割とキツく、杖を貸して頂いたのがとても役に立ちました。長袖長ズボンで行きましたが、途中で汗だく。でも脱いだら蚊に刺されそうだったので我慢しました。
靴は泥まみれになります。洗う場所もあるので少しは土が落とせますが、ちゃんと綺麗にはならないので捨てても良い靴で行くと良いと思います。
ランチはタンタラスの丘でダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキを見ながら食べます。夜のタンタラスよりもずっと素敵な景色です。
サンドイッチがとても美味しかったです。
あのマノアのスタバのお隣のサンドイッチ屋さんのものでした。
楽しい経験ができて良かったです。
About 60 km from the hotel in Waikoloa, after passing Honokaa and driving for a while, we arrived at the ranch, which took about an hour. We hopped into a two-person buggy and started our adventure. First, we drove through the mountain course, encountering ducks, cows, and horses for an hour. After returning to the office, we took a break and enjoyed freshly picked pineapple to recharge, then spent the second hour on the coastal course. We could switch drivers at any time, which added to the thrill. On the way back, we were satisfied after eating the famous Malasada at Tex Drive In.
ワイコロアのホテルから約60km、ホノカア過ぎてしばらく行くと牧場に到着、約1時間のドライブでした。2人のりバギーに乗り込みスタート。まずは山岳コースでアヒル、牛、馬と出会い、1時間ドライブ。事務所に戻り休憩、取り立てパイナップルを食べて鋭気を養い、後半は海岸コースを1時間。ドライバーの交代は随時可能でスリル満点でした。帰りはテックス・ドライブインで名物のマラザダを食べて満足しました。
