Hawaii
Kanoe and the rest of the team were amazing: Very enthusiastic, very funny, and very informative! Plantation tubing is an experience I would definitely recommend to anyone who's visiting Kaua`i. Thank you so much for making our vacation trip so memorable!
We had an outstanding adventure with Des on this excursion! She was so knowledgeable about Maui and kept a close eye on all of us in case we were struggling. Everyone loved her!
The only thing I would stress is that you need to be in shape to do this hike. The altitude can be an issue as it was a lot harder to do these two hikes but the scenery is incredible!
I think it's cheaper than helicopter tours in Japan!
In just one hour, you can experience the beauty of Hawaii condensed.
I've been to Hawaii many times, and this is the best activity I recommend.
This time, we were able to see whales too! Lucky✌️
日本のヘリコプター遊覧より安価と思う!
1時間で美しいハワイが凝縮されています。
何度もハワイに来ていますが、最高のアクティビティでおすすめです。
今回、クジラも確認できました!ラッキー✌️
We participated as a family of five (with three elementary school children). The kindness we received was wonderful, and the relaxed view of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the boat was amazing. It was also fun to see dolphins! We only caught a few fish, but we were able to catch fish that can only be seen in Hawaii, which made the kids happy.
家族5人で参加しました。(小学生3人)
とっても親切にしていただいて、のんびり船から見るダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキは最高でした。
イルカも見れて楽しかったです!
魚は少ししか釣れませんでしたが、ハワイでしか見れない魚が釣れて、子供達も満足でした。
My husband is 65 and I’m almost 60…never even driven an ATV before, and this was SO much fun! I would do it again!! Our guides were great. The UTVs rode crazy well over the rough terrain. It was dusty and dry the day we went-wear the face covering they provide and goggles. The vehicles are easy to drive and the path you follow behind the guide are bumpy and fun. The only thing I was bummed about is that we didn’t get to stop at the yard of bones for a picture. I think we ran a little behind. We needed about 10-15 more mins in our tour. All in all it was great fun, and we’d do it again if we come back to Oahu!
Since I had to leave my luggage in a locker for horseback riding, it seems better to have not too much luggage, about the size of two carry-on bags. Renting one locker for a day was $5.
The bus ride to and from can be cold, so it's good to have something like a cardigan to wear for warmth. If you're sensitive to the cold, it might be better to have something thicker like a hoodie.
The horseback riding experience was very pleasant, and the horses were very smart, making it a valuable experience!
There aren't many places to kill time at Kualoa Ranch, so it would be wise to minimize your stay time to match the bus reservation times, allowing you to make the most of your time after returning!
乗馬するのに荷物をロッカーに預けなければならなかったので荷物は手荷物2つ分くらいであまり多くない方が良さそうです。ロッカー1つ1日借りるのに5ドルでした。
行き帰りのバスが寒いので防寒用にカーディガンなど羽織れるものがあると良いです。寒がりの方はパーカーなど厚手のものがあった方が良さそうです。
乗馬体験はとても気持ちよく、お馬さんもとてもお利口で貴重な体験が出来ました!
クアロアランチ内で時間を潰す場所があまりないので行き帰りのバスは予約時間に合わせて最小の滞在時間にした方が帰ってきてからの時間を有効に活用できそうです!
I knew that the tour date was not suitable for stargazing due to the seasonal factors and being a few days after the full moon, but I had made my decision to participate after the travel date was set, so I was prepared for that. On the day of the tour, our guide was Stefan, who grew up in Japan, and he provided a fun experience. According to the guide, the moon's influence was not a problem since it was already a few days past the full moon and the moon would rise after the tour ended, but he was concerned about the clouds. I wished for no clouds in the sky, but unfortunately, my worries came true. However, there was just enough of a gap to see the sunset.
I understood that due to the timing, it was more likely that we wouldn't see the stars, but I was really looking forward to it, so it was truly disappointing.
For cold weather preparation, I wore: on top, a tank top + short-sleeve Heattech + a slightly thicker long-sleeve T-shirt + a light down jacket + a scarf around my neck; on the bottom, Heattech leggings + warm windproof pants with a boa lining (I also wore a long skirt that I had on from the start). I put on the warm clothing I brought with me at the Onizuka Visitor Center. It was a windless day at the summit, but it was still cold, and I borrowed a jacket from the guide. The jacket I borrowed was really warm and a great help. I also appreciated the warm cocoa service. My friend brought a hot pack, which was helpful too. I wished I had brought gloves. I recommend bringing gloves that allow you to touch your phone screen (like those without fingertips).
However, the restroom situation was a bit challenging. The guide advised us to use the facilities at the Onizuka Visitor Center, saying there were portable toilets at the summit, but they weren't clean. I made sure to go before the tour, but I tend to need the restroom frequently, and the cold made it worse. I was also told to drink water frequently to avoid altitude sickness, so I couldn't avoid hydration. I remember there were about four portable toilets at the summit, but when I peeked in because I couldn't hold it anymore, they were too dirty to use. So, the off-road return trip was really tough (laughs). This seemed to be a common occurrence, as the guide mentioned on the way back that it was hard to hold it on the off-road path. By the way, the restrooms at the Onizuka Visitor Center are flush toilets, so you can use them with peace of mind. However, since there were participants from other tour companies and the overall number of people was large, there was a long line for the women's restroom.
It was very disappointing not to see the beautiful sunset or the starry sky, but it was truly a valuable experience to reach a height higher than Mount Fuji, and the guide was a veteran, which was reassuring. I hope to join another tour with this company someday and see the sunset and the starry sky next time.
ツアー申込日が季節的なことと満月の数日後のため、星空ツアーに適していないことはわかっていたのですが、旅行日が決定した後に参加を決めたので、覚悟はしていました。当日のガイドさんは日本育ちのステファンさんで、楽しく案内してくださいました。ガイドさん曰く、月の影響については既に満月より数日過ぎていて、月が昇るのがツアーが終わった後の時間であるため問題はないこと、しかし雲が心配とのこと。どうか雲が空にかかっていませんように、とその願いも虚しく、心配が的中してしまいました。しかし、かろうじて隙間があり、そこから夕焼けは見ることができました。
時期的な問題もあったので、無理かもしれない可能性の方が高かいことは承知していたものの、もしかして。。。と、星空をとても楽しみにしていたので、本当に残念でした。
寒さ対策としては、上:タンクトップ+半袖ヒートテック+少々厚手の長Tシャツ+ライトダウンジャケット+ストールを首に巻く、下:ヒートテックのレギンス+暖かいボア裏地付きの風を通さないタイプのズボン(最初からはいていた長いスカートもそのまま着ていました)で挑みました。オニヅカ・ビジターセンターで手荷物で持ってきた防寒着を着込みました。山頂でも風が全くない日でしたが、さすがに山頂は寒く、ガイドさんにジャケットをお借りしました。お借りしたジャケットが本当に暖かく、助かりました。温かいココアのサービスも嬉しかったです。友達が持ってきてくれたホッカイロも助かりました。手袋を持っていけばよかったなぁと思いました。携帯の画面が触れるような(指先がないタイプとか)手袋があったら持って行くことをお勧めします
ただ、トイレ事情がちょっと大変でした。ガイドさんからは、オニヅカビジターセンターで行っておいてくださいね、山頂にも簡易トイレがあるけど綺麗じゃないので。と案内があったので、ちゃんと行っておいたのですが、元々トイレに行く頻度が多い私も、寒いのせいで更にトイレが近くなります。そして、高山病にならないように、お水をちびちび頻繁に飲むようにと言われていたので、水分を取らないということもできませんでした。山頂の簡易トイレは4つほどあったように記憶していますが、トイレが我慢できそうになくて、使ってみようかと覗いてみたところ、汚くてどうしても使えませんでした。だから帰りのオフロードが本当に辛かった(笑)それはお馴染みの出来事のようで、ガイドさんも帰り道、オフロードの道がトイレ我慢してると辛いよね〜って話してました。ちなみに、オニヅカビジターセンターのトイレは水洗なので安心して使えます。しかし他のツアー会社の参加者もいますし、全体に人数が多いのもあって、女性トイレは長い列ができていました。
綺麗な夕陽も星空も見れなかったことは大変残念でしたが、富士山より高いところまで行けたことは本当に貴重な体験でしたし、ガイドさんもベテランの方で安心できました。いつか、またこちらの会社のツアーに参加して、次こそは夕陽と星空を見たいと思います。
I had previously ridden horses at Kualoa Ranch, and this time I decided to drive a buggy.
It was a nearly two-hour drive. I took turns driving with my child (who is a beginner driver). Only two drivers are allowed to operate the buggy, while the others just ride along. There were guides at various locations where filming took place, and we could take photos.
I found the buggy's accelerator to be far away, making it difficult to press down firmly. Because of this, I ended up leaving too much space between us and was scolded by the guide...
It might be challenging for shorter individuals to drive.
It was quite a thrilling experience. I had fun.
However, you will get covered in sand, so changing clothes is essential. Your face will also get quite sandy, so it might be a good idea to bring body wipes or something similar. After our time at Kualoa Ranch, we first returned to the hotel to take a shower.
以前クアロアランチで馬に乗ったことがあり、今回はバギーを運転する事にしました。
2時間近くのドライブ。子供(ペーパードライバー)と交代で運転しました。
ドライバーは2人までしか運転できなく、後の人は乗っているだけです。
所々でロケ地で使われた場所のガイドがあり、写真もとれます。
私にはバギーのアクセルが遠く、しっかり踏み込むことが困難でした。そのせいで車間距離を開け過ぎてしまいガイドさんに叱られました…
背の低い方はドライバーとしては難しいかもしれません。
中々スリルのある体験ができました。楽しかったです。
ただ体中、砂だらけになりますので着替えは必須です。顔もかなり砂まみれになりますのでボディシートなども用意して行かれた方がいいかもしれません。私達はクアロアランチの後、まずホテルに帰りシャワーを浴びました。
Great staff! Very enjoyable adventure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sightseeing
I was using Uber to get around, but I decided to join a tour for sightseeing in Haleiwa and horseback riding. It turned out to be a great decision. Our guide was Japanese, providing attentive guidance and care that really hit the mark. Thank you, Arai! I wanted to try garlic shrimp in Haleiwa, and I was introduced to a restaurant. It was quite crowded, but thanks to the advance reservation and efficient service, we had plenty of time for sightseeing in Haleiwa. I got a cute Snoopy T-shirt for my grandchild. I do wish I had done a bit more research on Haleiwa beforehand.
Horseback Riding
The horses were very smart. I felt completely at ease; they were so intelligent that I think even kindergarteners could ride them. One downside was the explanation of how to handle the horses for those having lunch. Since the horses are smart, you just need to ride them, but the explanation wasn’t tailored for an elderly lady who didn’t understand English. It was a bit fast-paced! Thanks to our guide Arai, even though I didn’t understand English, I was able to grasp the meaning. It was a local approach of "just get on and get used to it." It wasn’t unpleasant at all, but it did have an American feel to it.
I had a wonderful day. Thank you!
観光
Uberを使いながらの移動をしていましたが、さすがに
ハレイワ観光と乗馬はツアーにしようと考えました。
結果、大正解。
日本人のガイドさんなので、痒いところに手が届くようなガイドと心遣い。
さすがです。アライさん、ありがとう!
ハレイワでガーリックシュリンプを食べたくて、お店を紹介してもらいました。
さすがに大混雑なのですが、前もっての予約と手際良さで、ハレイワの観光時間が十分に取れました。
可愛いスヌーピーのTシャツを孫にゲット。
もう少し、自分でハレイワの下調べをしておけば良かったとは思います。
乗馬
賢い馬さん。なんの心配も入りません。幼稚園児でも乗馬できるのではないかと思うくらいの賢い馬でした。
一つ残念なのは、ランチの方々の馬の扱い方の説明。馬が賢いので、ただ、乗馬してれば、いいのですが、英語がわからないおばさんに対する説明ではありませんでした。早口でした!
そこもガイドのアライさんのおかげで、英語わからずですが、意味が理解できました。「乗って慣れろ」方式の現地の方でした。
決して不快ではないのですが、アメリカン的な感じです。
楽しい1日を過ごせました。
ありがとうございました!
Thank you for using Island Makana Tours. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed horseback riding and sightseeing in Haleiwa. Please consider using Island Makana Tours again when you visit Hawaii. Mahalo!!
この度はアイランドマカナツアーズをご利用いただき、ありがとうございました。乗馬とハレイワ観光をお楽しみ頂けたようで良かったです。またハワイにお越しの際はアイランドマカナツアーズをご利用くださいませ。Mahalo!!
The ATV ride was awesome full of adrenaline. The excitement of going thru the mountain and valleys and still look at the ocean was great. The guys guiding us were cool and friendly. Going through dirt, water and mud rushing thru curves and very cool.
The zipline experience with breathtaking views from various directions in Hawaii is unforgettable. It took about an hour by rental car to get there, making it a full-day activity.
Since rain can ruin the fun, I feel it's safer to make a reservation about a week in advance after checking the weather forecast.
The instructor was lively and kept us entertained throughout the experience.
ハワイのいろんな方角の絶景を見ながらのジップラインは、記憶に残ります。
現地に行くまで、レンタカーでも1時間前後かかったので、1日がかり。
雨が降ると楽しめないので、予約は、1週間前くらいに天気予報が出てからが安心な気がします。
インストラクターのノリがよく、随所で楽しませてくれます。
The skydiving experience and the instructor were amazing. It was a wonderful experience that I can truly say was one of the few precious moments in my life.
I had pre-ordered a video and photo package. The photos and videos were taken by the instructor's arm camera, and I paid an additional $139 for a separate cameraman to film from the outside. The total came to $602.
The data arrived a few days later, and when I watched it, there was a major editing mistake. The footage from the outside camera was upside down while the footage from the arm camera was normal! So, the video was switching between upside-down and normal footage. After returning to Japan, I emailed them about this issue, and I received an automatic reply saying, "We will respond properly, so please rest assured." A few days later, I received a message saying "Your link" along with the video link URL, but when I checked it, the editing mistake had not been fixed at all; it was exactly the same.
I sent three emails stating, "The editing from the outside camera is upside down, while the arm camera footage is edited correctly, so please fix it," along with my reservation number and screenshots of the upside-down footage, but I only received automatic replies and was completely ignored.
Since my English isn't very good, it was quite a struggle to send even one inquiry, and I researched other addresses and ended up sending a total of eight emails. I emailed the inquiry four times, and I also found their Instagram and tried to send a message, but it showed that I couldn't send it for some reason. The automatic reply I received had a different address, so I sent four emails there as well. I only received a link that was still incorrect, and all my emails were ignored.
I paid a decent amount to preserve these memories, but the editing was done carelessly, and my repeated emails were ignored. It's terrible. After about a month without a response, it seems like I won't be getting any assistance, so I think I have to just accept it.
(On the day of the jump, I repeatedly checked to make sure the camera was working, but it seems it wasn't. It was too late to find out after the jump. I’m really glad I insisted on checking despite my limited English. After that, with this editing mistake and no response, what is going on? It's the worst.)
スカイダイビングや、インストラクターさんは最高でした。
当日「人生の中で数少ない貴重な経験だった」と思える素敵な体験でした。
今回予めビデオと写真撮影のセットで依頼しておりました。
その写真とビデオは一緒に飛ぶインストラクターの腕のカメラで、当日、別のカメラマン(外側から撮ってもらえる)のビデオを139ドルで依頼できるとの事で追加で支払いました。合計で602ドル。
数日でデータが届き、観てみると編集に大きなミスが、、、アウトサイドカメラと腕のカメラ映像がミックスで編集されているのですが、アウトサイドカメラの映像だけ上下逆さまでした!!!
なので、逆さまと正常な映像が切り替わりながら流れている状態。
日本に帰国後、問い合わせからメールでこの内容を送ると、恐らく自動返信で「ちゃんと対応するのでご安心を」的なのが届き、数日後「あなたのリンク」と一言とビデオのリンクのURLが添付されており、実際観てみると、まさかの、一切直っておらず、全く同じ編集ミスのままの映像。
再度、「アウトサイドカメラの編集が上下逆さま、ハンドカメラは正常の向きで編集されている為、直してほしい」という内容と、自分の予約番号の添付や逆さまのスクショを添付して、3度程送りましたが、自動返信のみで完全に無視されたままでした。
英語が達者でないので一度の問い合わせを送るのも一苦労ですし、問い合わせ以外のアドレスも調べて全部で8回送りました。
問い合わせへメールで4回、インスタも見つけて「メッセージ」へも送りましたが何故か送れない仕様になっているとの表示で送れず。
自動返信されてきた添付の問い合わせが別のアドレスだったので、そこへも4回送信。
たった一度、直っていないリンクが送られて来たのみで全てのメールを無視されました。
せっかく思い出として残そうと、そこそこの料金を払ったのに適当な編集をされ、苦労して何度も送ったメールへの対応は無視。酷いです。
返信が来なくて約1か月、もう対応はしてもらえなそうなので泣き寝入りだと思います。
(当日もカメラがちゃんと入っているかという確認を散々してやっぱり入っていなかったようでした。飛んだ後に判明してももう遅い。英語がつたない中、しつこく確認して本当によかった。その後、この編集ミス、そして対応しない、どうなってるんですかね?最悪です。)
Easy to book and stress free service. We had a good time visiting. Staff were super friendly from front desk, tour to souvenir store.
We had such an amazing time! If your lucky enough to get guides Cousin Kemo and Cousin Giggles then your in for a treat. They were both super friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and sites. I loved the waterfall and the fact we got to go swimming in the pond and under the waterfall! Next time we are on the island I will definitely book this tour again.
Wow this was my firs time in hawaii and this compamy made my life easier. I realy recomend them we spend the best time in ours tours.
It was the best experience!!! First, we received a warm welcome from the friendly owner, Kaz, who provided us with an explanation about piloting (in Japanese, of course, and very easy to understand◎). After that, the pilot who would fly with us explained today's route and highlights using a model map of Oahu. He spoke in clear English, and if we didn't understand, the staff member nearby was always ready to interpret◎
Communication among passengers in the sky was done through headphones and a microphone. It was exciting to hear the pilot's communication with the control tower through the headphones! Once we entered stable airspace, I got to hold the control stick and actually pilot the plane, and I also experienced turning left and right over the ocean. We signed up for a plan to circle Oahu together, and I felt that landing at a local airport, Kalaeloa Airport, to switch seats was a unique experience that you can't have elsewhere (the departure and return were from Honolulu Airport).
I love the "Jurassic Park" movie series, and this time I was able to see Kualoa Ranch, the filming location, from above, which truly filled my heart with joy.
The team at Lani Lea Sky Tours was incredibly kind (when we returned, there was a snack party prepared, and we could eat as much as we wanted✨, plus we enjoyed some juice together), the view from the sky was amazing, and I never imagined I would get to hold the control stick of a plane in my lifetime, so it was an exhilarating and satisfying experience✨✨
Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️
最高の経験でした!!!まず、ホテルまでの送迎もしてくださる気さくなオーナーのカズさんから、操縦についての説明をしていただき(もちろん日本語・わかりやすい◎)、その後実際に私達と飛んでくださるパイロットから今日の航路や見所について、オアフ島の地図模型を用いて説明がありました。こちらはわかりやすい英語で話してくれますが、わからなければ側にいてくれる事務の方が随時通訳もしてくれます◎
空の上での同乗者間のコミュニュケーションは、ヘッドフォンとマイクで行います。パイロットと管制塔とのやりとりも、ヘッドフォンで聞くことができて刺激的です!安定した空域に入ったら操縦桿を握って実際に操縦させてもらい、海上では左右への旋回も体験させてもらいました️また、今回はふたりでオアフ島を一周するプランに申し込んだのですが、席替えをするために、途中でカラエロア空港というローカルな空港に降り立てたのも他ではできない経験だなと感じました(行き帰りはホノルル空港)
私は映画「ジュラシック・パーク」シリーズが大好きなのですが、今回はそのロケ地となったクアロアランチも上空から見ることができて、本当に胸がいっぱいになりました
Lani Lea Sky Toursの皆さんは本当に親切だし(帰ったらお菓子パーティーの用意がされていて、好きなだけ食べてね〜というスタイルでした✨また、一緒にジュースもいただけます)、空からの眺めは最高だし、この人生で自分が飛行機の操縦桿を握ることがあるとは思ってもみなかったので、大興奮&大満足な体験でした️✨✨
本当にありがとうございました❤️❤️❤️
I was able to fully immerse myself in the world of Jurassic Park. If you have a Japanese driver's license, anyone can drive! There are a couple of water spots in the first half and three in the second half, and if you step on the gas, you'll get as wet as if you were on a rapid slide, which is fantastic (laughs). If you're alternating driving with someone, you can switch every time you stop at a viewpoint, so both of you can experience it. Your face, hair, and clothes will definitely get dirty from the dust (and water), so if you're concerned, it might be a good idea to bring wet wipes or a change of clothes. The restrooms were clean! The instructor spoke English, and there was also one Japanese staff member, so it's reassuring! This time we used a buggy, but next time I want to try horseback riding and zip-lining as well.
ジュラシックパークの世界観にどっぷりハマることができました日本の免許を持っていけば誰でも運転できます️前半に一箇所、後半に三箇所ほどウォータースポット(水たまり?)があって、全力でアクセルを踏み込めば、急流滑りくらい濡れますが最高です(笑)ふたりで交互に運転するなら、ビュースポットで降りるたびに交代すればどちらも体験できます顔や髪、服は砂埃(と、水)でちゃんと汚れるので、気になる方はウェットティッシュや着替えを持っていくのがいいかもです。トイレは綺麗でした!インストラクターの方は英語話者の方ですが、お一人日本人の職員さんもおられるので安心です!今回はバギーでしたが、次回は乗馬やジップラインも体験してみたいです
It was truly like Jurassic Park.
There were various facilities in the ranch that I believe were used for filming the movie, and it brought back memories of Jurassic Park.
I had a valuable experience riding a four-wheeler through the ranch for almost an hour. I would like to visit again on another occasion.
ほんとうにジュラシックパークでした。
牧場内にはいろいろ映画の撮影に使われたと思う施設があり、ジュラシックパークの映画がよみがえってきました。
約1時間弱四輪バギーで牧場内を駆け抜けて貴重な体験をさせていただきました。またの機会にもう一度訪れたいと思います。
I participated at my husband's suggestion, and I truly think it was worth going! However, you will definitely get your face and clothes covered in dirt, so it's best to bring clothes you don't mind throwing away and some wet wipes.
夫の提案で参加しましたが、行ってよかったと心から思います!
ただ本当に顔も服も土だらけになるので、捨ててもよい服とウェットティッシュは持って行った方がいいです。
I was moved to see a starry sky like a planetarium! If possible, I strongly recommend going around the new moon when there is less light in the sky.
プラネタリウムみたいな星空が見れて感動しました!!
日程調整が可能であれば、空に明かりが少ない新月周辺で行くことを強くお勧めします。
Super impressed! Our guides were the BEST! We learned so much and got to see and take in, feel so much beauty all while being physically active. The value of it all was so worth it. This adventure was epic, I will never forget it!! Thank you!
Aloha Sara,
Thanks for helping us celebrate 40 years at the "helm"
All our tours, from ocean to rivers often combine some lower and upper body exercise.
And our guides truly love what they do and love sharing their particular brand of aloha.
Stay well and active and retain those memories.
A hui hou,
Micco/Head Guide
So many fun zip lines and two suspension bridges. The guides were all so lovely and made me feel safe throughout the entire adventure. Highly recommend for an unforgettable experience in Hawaii!
It was my first time riding in a Cessna, and while I expected it to be bumpier than a commercial airplane, it was even more turbulent than I imagined. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's best to take some medication beforehand. The flight was scheduled for 10 AM, but we had to wait for a while due to the clouds. Therefore, it's better not to schedule anything right after the flight so you can relax while waiting. Although it was a shared flight, we couldn't enjoy the scenery to the east and west due to the clouds and wind, so we ended up flying back and forth over one side. However, since I prioritized the experience over the scenery, it wasn't a problem for me. I was also moved to see a rainbow from above.
セスナに乗るのは初めてで、旅客機と違って揺れることは想像していたが、こんなにも揺れるのかと想像以上だった。酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がいい。朝10時からのフライトだったが、雲の影響でしばらく待たされた。なので、フライトのあとの予定は極力入れない方がリラックスして待てる。交代してのフライトだったが、雲と風の影響で、東西の景色は楽しめず、片方のみを2往復する形のフライトとなったが、景色より経験を重視だったので特に問題なかった。虹を上から眺めることもできて感動した。
Meet at the location with a rental car. The parking lot is quite full and tight. After check-in, you have free time until the meeting time. After gathering, a summary of precautions is provided in a Japanese video.
Get on the Kawasaki off-road buggy and off we go. We proceed along a relatively well-maintained road, park at the first detour spot, and receive an explanation (in English). After this, we navigate up and down the road, stopping at about three points while squealing with excitement on our way to the final destination. Your face and clothes will get covered in sand, so it's advisable to cover your mouth with a bandana.
レンタカーで現地集合。駐車場が結構いっぱいでキツイ。受付後に集合時間までフリー。集合した後、日本語のビデオで注意点をサマリー。
Kawasaki オフロードバギーに乗り込み、いざ出発。比較的整備された道を進み最初の寄り道スポットで駐車し、説明を受ける。(英語) この後アップダウンの道をキャーキャー言いながら3地点ほど止まりながら最終地点に向かう。顔と服は砂まみれになるのでバンダナで口を覆うべし。
I got a bit sea sick, to my surprise, but wife had a great catch!
Friends have questioned doors off, but I am here to say the views are still AMAZING!!
First timers will experience an exhilaration rush of amazing views. Even if you are afraid of heights don’t be, the crew are professional experts to ease your worries. They know what they are doing (with a flare of joking) to take your nerves from reminding you you’re going to be hundred of feet up in the air. It’s worth it! You’ll appreciate the picturesque palm trees, streams and lastly the huge waterfall. This took my breath away but in a good way. Bring your camera for all the unforgettable shot. What you show all your social media friends and family will surely make them jealous. Love the experience highly recommended!
I had a horseback riding experience. The experience itself was very enjoyable, but the website stated an 8 AM meeting time and a 1 PM departure, so I planned for a half-day in the morning. However, it actually turned out to be an 8 AM meeting time and a 3:30 PM departure. After arriving at the site, we had to wait for 2 hours until the activity started, and after the activity ended, we waited another 2 hours until the bus departed, totaling 4 hours of waiting time. As a result, it took the whole day, and I had to cancel my afternoon plans. For these reasons, I think it's best for those making reservations to be cautious.
乗馬体験をしました。乗馬体験自体はとても楽しかったですが、サイトには8時集合13時出発とのことで午前の半日の予定をしていましたが、実際は8時集合15時半出発となり、現地到着後もアクティビティ開始まで2時間待ち、アクティビティ終了後も2時間バス出発まで計4時間待ち時間がありました。結果丸一日がかかり午後の予定をキャンセルせざるえませんでした。上記の理由から、予約される方はご注意された方がいいと思います。
My parents, my 8 yo son and I had a blast on the tour!
Henry was an awesome guide; we got a kick out of watching him chase a group of wild pigs. :-D He did a great job pointing out photo opportunities, wild animals, and educating us on the history of Kohala.
Jerry drove us to and from the meeting point. He was super friendly and shared lots of stories about growing up on the island and the importance of family. He also pointed out places to eat in Kohala on the way back, which was good because we were hungry!
Isiah was the second guide on our tour, and he picked ripe fruit from the land during our snack stop at a beautiful waterfall. It was fun to try all fruits and hang out with them, learning the history of the land.
Overall would highly recommend this tour!
