At the foot of the mountain, I was worried because it was raining in some areas, but at the visitor center halfway up, the weather improved, and it was clear from the midpoint onward. I recommend bringing a warm drink. Above the visitor center, the road became unpaved, and it felt like the car was struggling to climb the mountain, but after a while, we reached the summit.
At the summit, various observatories from different countries were lined up, and it felt like we were one step closer to space. With some time before sunset, I enjoyed the magnificent view from the top. It was definitely worth adjusting my schedule to participate. After a while, the grand show of sunset began, and the colors of the ground and sky near the summit gradually changed, creating an emotional experience as if watching a scene from a movie. The sea of clouds was also visible, making for the perfect situation. The scenery was even more breathtaking than the photos in the brochure. As it got darker, stars began to appear one by one, and their numbers quickly increased, transforming the scene into a completely different world from before sunset. The summit was colder than I expected, and I wore a down jacket suitable for winter, but it was still chilly. I recommend being well-prepared for the cold. The air pressure was low, and the air was thin, so I think those with respiratory issues or who are not in good health should reconsider participating. I truly felt the thinness of the air.
After sunset, I did some stargazing a little below the summit. The sky was filled with stars, creating a wonderful celestial show. I learned how to identify constellations and participated in observations with a telescope. It was moving to see the rings of Saturn through the telescope.
Although it was a bit of a long day starting in the early afternoon, I believe it was definitely worth participating. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
山麓では一部雨も降っていて心配しましたが、食事休憩した中腹のビジターセンターでは天気も良くなり、中腹以降は快晴でした。暖かい飲み物を持参するのを推奨します。ビジターセンターより上は未舗装になり、車が懸命に山を登っている感じになり、しばらくすると山頂に到着しました。
山頂には各国の天文台が並んでいて、宇宙に一歩近づいた感じでした。日の入りまで少し時間があり、山頂からの壮大な景色を堪能しました。スケジュール調整をして参加した価値が充分にありました。しばらくすると、日没の壮大なショーが始まり、山頂近くの地面や空の色が徐々に変わり、映画のワンシーンを観ている状態で、感動的でした。雲海も見えて最高のシチュエーションでした。景色はパンフレットの写真以上で、圧巻でした。暗くなると星がポツポツ見え出して、その数があっと言う間に増えて、日没前とは全くの別世界になりました。山頂は思っていたよりも寒く、真冬の格好でダウンジャケットも着ましたがそれでも寒かったです。寒さ対策は十分にしておくことをおすすめします。気圧も低く、空気も薄いので呼吸器系統の弱い人や体調が万全でない人の参加は見合わせた方がいいと思います。空気の薄さを実感しました。
日没後に山頂から少し下った場所で星空観察をしました。満天の星で素晴らしい天体ショーでした。星座の見方を教えてもらい、望遠鏡での観察にも参加しました。その中で土星の輪が見えたのは感動的でした。
午後早めの時間帯からの少し長丁場でしたが、参加する価値は十分にあると思います。感動をありがとうございました。

I am very satisfied!! It was so much fun that I would like to try ziplining at another location if there is one.
First, it was mentioned that only English-speaking staff would be present, but there was a Japanese staff member at the information desk! After arriving at the site by shuttle bus, they gathered only the Japanese participants and provided an explanation of the facilities (restrooms, lockers, etc.) and handed out the tickets.
There was a waiting area before the zipline check-in, but if you speak up before the time, you will be instructed to sign a consent form (available in Japanese) before waiting. When the time comes, a guide will arrive. The driver provided an explanation about the zipline in English, but it was too fast for me to catch everything. It seems they were explaining various things while we were on the way to the base camp. The scenery alone was enjoyable enough.
After arriving at the base camp, the accompanying staff asked if we were Japanese, and upon answering, they showed us a guidance video in Japanese, so there was no lack of information regarding precautions and how to use the zipline. There were 10 participants (only two of us were Japanese) and 5 staff members. Everyone seemed to understand a little Japanese, so we were able to have enjoyable conversations.
The lockers are free and use a four-digit code. You can bring your mobile phone at your own risk. There were also people with GoPros. There are restrooms available, and you can get water.
After walking up a considerable incline for about 5 minutes from the base camp, you reach the first zipline. For the second and third ziplines, you walk about 20 meters. After finishing the third zipline, there is a water station. The fourth and fifth ziplines require about a 3-minute walk and there is a suspension bridge. I found the suspension bridge scary.
大満足です!!とっても楽しかったので、別の場所でもジップラインがあったらチャレンジしてみたいなと思います。
まず英語スタッフだけと記載がありましたが、インフォメーションに日本人スタッフの方がいらっしゃいました!送迎バスで現地到着後、日本人だけ集めていただき、施設の説明(トイレ、ロッカー等)とチケットの受け渡しをしてくださいました。
ジップラインの受付前には待機場所がありましたが、時間前に声をかけると同意書(日本語あり)にサインをしてから待機するよう指示があります。時間になると迎えがきます。ここで運転手さんから英語でジップラインについて説明があったのですが早くて聞き取れませんでした。車でベースキャンプに向かっている最中も色々なことを説明してくれていたようです。景色だけでも充分たのしめました。
ベースキャンプに到着後、同行するスタッフさんから日本人か聞かれ答えると日本語の案内動画を見せていただいたので注意事項やジップラインのやり方については不足はなかったです。
参加者は10人(日本人は自分たち2人のみ)スタッフは5人。みなさん少しずつ日本語が分かるようで楽しく会話できました。
ロッカーは無料で4桁の番号式です。
携帯は自己責任で持ち込み可能でした。ゴープロを持ち込んでる方もいらっしゃいました。
トイレもあるし、お水もいただけます。
ベースキャンプから結構な上り坂を5分進むと1本目のジップラインがあります。2本目~3本目も20mほど歩きます。3本目が終わると給水ポイントがあります。4本目~5本目が3分ほど歩くのと吊り橋がありました。私は吊り橋が恐かったです。

Honestly, I'm not fluent in English, but fortunately, on the day I participated, there was a Japanese staff member who helped me by explaining the instructor's instructions in Japanese. After that, I communicated with the instructor using simple English and gestures, and I was able to fly safely.
It was a nerve-wracking experience, and I thought that people who do this job are crazy. But looking back now, coming down over the ocean in Hawaii was an amazing experience, and the sea was incredibly beautiful! I want to experience it again.
In November, it was just the rainy season, and there was rain before the flight, plus we had to wait due to the wind, but thanks to that, I was able to see a rainbow from the Cessna.
正直英語がペラペラではないですが、有り難い事に参加した日は日系のスタッフの方がいて、インストラクターの説明内容を日本語で教えていただいて助けていただきました。その後のインストラクターとは簡単な英語とジェスチャーでやり取りをして、無事に飛行できました。
どきどき恐々の経験で、この仕事をしている人はクレージーだなって思いましたが。今となってはハワイの海の上を降りてくるって最高の経験で、海がめちゃくちゃ綺麗でした!また経験したいって思ってます。
11月はちょうど雨季で飛行前は雨が降っていたり、風の影響で待たされたりはしましたが、そのおかげでセスナから虹が見えました。

I was a bit worried about going to an elevation higher than Mount Fuji without any prior experience in mountain climbing, but thanks to the wonderful support of our articulate guide, we were able to reach the summit safely. We drove almost all the way to the top and enjoyed the sunset. The stargazing afterward was easy to understand, and having hot cocoa under the starry sky was the best.
山登りなど国内でも経験がないまま富士山より高い標高に行くというのは少し心配していましたが、お話上手なガイドさんの素晴らしいサポートのおかげで、無事に山頂まで辿り着けました。徒歩はほぼなく車で山頂まで登り、サンセット。そのあとの星空観測もわかりやすく、星空の下でのホットココアが最高でした。

You can see both the sea and the mountains at the same time, and the breeze from the buggy made for a refreshing drive. The steep slopes were thrilling, but the buggy was stable, so I felt safe riding it. Two hours was longer than I expected, and I took turns driving with my friends, but I got tired and dozed off in the back seat during the second half.
It was good that the weather was clear, but there was a lot of dust, and my white T-shirt got dirty. I regretted not checking the reviews more carefully before going.

The path to Manoa Falls had a slope, but our guide Anoi took breaks at just the right times, and at the photo spots, he helped us take artistic pictures, making it a very satisfying tour. I had a great time. The sandwich we had at Tantalus was also delicious, and I think it was a very good value tour. I would like to participate in a different activity next time. However, I gave it 4 stars because the bracelet I bought from the tour company broke the next day. I was very disappointed because I liked the design.

By pedaling and moving around myself, I was able to truly appreciate the vastness of Kualoa. Along the way, we also visited a tunnel where panels introduced the movies filmed at Kualoa. We even took videos using a jeep that resembled something out of Jurassic Park, which became a wonderful memory. I participated in an ATV tour in the past, and I had a great time again this time.

I participated in December. I didn't have high expectations, but horseback riding in the wonderful scenery where you can see both the sea and the mountains was a valuable experience. It was very exciting to ride up the mountain slopes. I was almost a beginner at horseback riding, but I was able to ride for two hours without any issues.
There are various movie filming locations along the course, so I think movie lovers will enjoy it even more.
Although I participated in December, the weather was nice, and it was quite hot for the two hours. I recommend applying sunscreen if you decide to participate. Also, the person accompanying us during the horseback riding was not Japanese, so all the explanations about the filming locations were in English. Since you are on the horse for two hours, if you're not used to it, your butt and thighs might get sore!

Three days before the Honolulu Marathon, I was wondering if a two-hour horseback riding course would be too much. However, thanks to the very smart horses that knew the entire route and guided us expertly, I had a great time without feeling tired at all.
For a full two hours, we rode through the forest, enjoyed views of the ocean, and saw all the filming locations from Jurassic Park in the grassy valleys of the mountains.
There was plenty of time before and after, so we were able to do some shopping and enjoy a delicious lunch. It was a lot of food, so sharing between the two of us was more than enough.
Lockers are available for $5 a day, the restrooms are clean, and the air conditioning works perfectly. The staff is very friendly, and there was even a briefing in Japanese beforehand.

I found this tour when I was thinking about going to Haleiwa to eat garlic shrimp. I had also wanted to try horseback riding for a while, and riding by the beach sounded wonderful, so I signed up.
Kaz, our Japanese guide, cheerfully talked to us during the drive and introduced the scenery we saw from the car window. The other members of the tour were all nice people, and when they heard it was our honeymoon, they applauded. The horse I rode was a bit mischievous and kept moving forward, which was scary at first, but I got used to it and had a great time. There were two instructors who closely watched over us, which made me feel safe. They also took a lot of pictures along the way!
After returning to Haleiwa, we went to the garlic shrimp food truck recommended by Kaz. Thanks to him making a phone call, we were able to enjoy delicious garlic shrimp without having to wait. This gave us extra time to visit Matsumoto Shave Ice and enjoy some shops. On the way back, instead of just dropping us off at the meeting point, they took us close to our hotel. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

I participated in a 2.5-hour tour in the morning session. There were 12 participants from various countries, and we were the only Japanese attendees. The guides were two women.
I was anxious because I hardly speak English, but the guide, Jackie, was kind and spoke slowly using gestures, occasionally mixing in some Japanese to check on us. There was also a Japanese version of the consent form.
Based on our riding experience, we were able to choose a horse that suited us well. I rode Stormy, who has also been ridden by Jun Hasegawa! We started with a briefing, gave the horse some water, and then set off!
The horseback riding took place on a vast area where we walked and ran, and along the way, we saw Japanese wagyu and cedar trees, with the guide providing information. The weather and scenery were great, and it felt wonderful. Although the land was really expansive, the 2.5 hours flew by. If you're afraid of running, you can also go at a slow walk. There are spots along the way where you can take group photos with beautiful scenery.
When running, you kick the horse, and when stopping, you pull the reins. As long as you keep your heels down while riding, you should be fine.
It was truly a fulfilling 2.5 hours, an amazing experience that you can only have in a vast place like Hawaii Island. I definitely want to do it again.
I am grateful to the two guides, the other participants, and the horses. Thank you very much.
Additionally, the staff at Veltra were very courteous in handling time changes and schedule adjustments, which I appreciated.

It was raining at Manoa Falls, but the weather was actually quite nice for feeling the essence of Hawaii. The greenery was more vibrant, and the sound of the waterfall was very refreshing.
The ocean is great, but the mountains are nice too.
P.S. I actually participated in a trial tour with Lucky Man, the owner of this tour, four years ago. It's a shame that it seems to no longer exist, but I really enjoyed having a guide who wasn't just focused on tourism. I had hoped to see him again, but it's unfortunate.

I participated with transportation included. There were staff who spoke Japanese at the visitor center, but all the zipline instructors spoke English, so I watched a Japanese video beforehand. The instructors also engaged with us, and I was able to understand somewhat and enjoy the experience.
On the way to the zipline location, we toured filming sites like Jurassic Park, and the driver provided explanations. That was all in English, though...
Since transportation is provided, it's more cost-effective to participate in activities other than the zipline and stay for a full day.

It was such a fun adventure! It was raining for most of it and we got pretty muddy. If it’s raining when you go definitely buy or bring a poncho to cut down on the mud. There were parts of the trail that felt more advanced but they guided us on how to get through.
The sites and greenery were absolutely stunning!
The guides were super pleasant and supportive. The explained everything clearly and patiently. I felt safe and supported the whole time. Learned lots of cool things!

The Manoa Falls tour was canceled the day before. I only found out about the cancellation through an email, and it wasn't until I received a phone call the night before that I learned about it. From there, I requested to change to another tour and was able to participate in the Waimea Falls tour. The guides from the tour company Dolphin & You (driver John, Toshio, and Daisuke) were very cheerful and fun, and even though it was a downpour during the tour, I had a great time.
前日にマノアの滝ツアーが中止になった。中止の連絡がメールだけだったので中止のことを知ったのが前日の夜に電話があり初めて知った。そこから別のツアーに変更をお願いして、なんとかワイメアの滝ツアーに参加することができた。ツアー会社ドルフィン&ユーのガイド(運転手ジョンさん、トシオさん、ダイスケさん)はとても愉快で楽しく、土砂降りのツアーでしたが楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

We had such a great time. Getting to rope swing into the pool was such fun. That in particular was my favorite part, but the whole trip was such a great way to experience the natural beauty of Hawaii. Getting towed back at the end was a really nice touch, too. Instead of being left a bit tired from rowing back my friends and I were all still energized and ready to keep having fun with the rest of our day. My only feedback is that they should change the picture and thumbnail that's associated with this listing on the website. The waterfall in that photo is not part of this trip, so it's misleading. The waterfalls you will see are much smaller, though the trip is still fun.

It was my first time horseback riding, but there were instructions in Japanese, so it’s a tour that Japanese people can participate in without any issues. We rode for two hours, so my backside got a bit tired, but the scenery was amazing, and it was such a good experience that it felt short! I definitely want to do it again.
初めての乗馬でしたが、日本語でのインストラクションもあり、日本人でも問題なく参加できるツアーです。
2時間乗るので、少しお尻がつかれましたが、景色が最高で、短く感じるくらい良い体験でした!またぜひやりたいです。

Clive, our guide/driver was fantastic! So much information about Lanai and Hawaiian culture. Was great to see this island before it gets too developed. The beach was lovely and so not crowded with gorgeous views!

I participated with a friend.
For two hours, we were swayed by the smart horses, visiting many places like the sea, mountains, and movie filming locations.
It was an experience that you absolutely can't have in Japan, and it was truly the best!
As everyone says, your leg and butt muscles will get sore, so please be careful (laughs).
But it was such a wonderful experience that I didn't mind that at all!
友達と参加しました。
2時間賢いお馬さんに揺られて、海や山、映画のロケ地などをたくさん巡りました。
日本では絶対にできない経験で、本当に最高でした!
みなさんおっしゃる通り、足とお尻の筋肉は痛くなりますのでご注意ください(笑)
でもそんなことも気にならないくらいのステキな経験でした!
