All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

Riding a gentle horse and strolling along the beach created the best memories. At first, I was anxious, but they carefully taught me the tips for riding.

優しい馬に乗り、海辺を散策できて、最高の思い出になりました。
最初は不安でしたが、乗り方のコツも丁寧に教えてくれます。

I had some experience with horseback riding, but due to physical limitations, I hadn't ridden for a while. Most riding clubs in Japan follow the British style, but trail riding is done in the American style, so there are differences in handling the reins and saddle. In a group, we only walked in a line and couldn't run, but on the other hand, it was more than enough to enjoy touching the horses and experiencing the grandeur of nature. The horses are calm and obedient, so even beginners can take photos with their smartphones using one hand. If anything happens, the accompanying guide quickly comes to assist and provide instruction, which is reassuring. The mountain paths have some ups and downs, but the horses are used to it. I thought we would be able to walk along the coast, but instead, we walked along a road that overlooked the coastline, which felt nice in its own way. If you're not used to it, your position on the saddle can shift, so it's important to pay attention to your balance on both sides to ride well. Finally, I thanked the horse that carried me and patted it in appreciation.

乗馬の経験はありましたが、身体のハンデでしばらく乗っていませんでした、日本の乗馬クラブはほとんどブリティシュスタイルですが外乗乗馬はアメリカンスタイルなの　で鞍手綱さばきに違いがありグループで隊列で歩くのみで走ることはできません、逆に馬に触れ自然の雄大さを満喫して楽しむには十分以上です、馬も大人しく従順なので初乗馬でも片手でスマホ撮影できます、何かあれば同道のガイドさんがすぐ駆けつけ指導してくれるので安心です。山道は多少起伏がありますが馬は慣れたものです、海は海岸沿いを歩けるかとおもいきや海沿いの道を通るだけで眼下に海岸を見下ろして歩きますそれはそれで気持ち良し。慣れないとお尻の位置が鞍からずれてくるので常に左右のバランスには注意すると上手く乗れます。最後乗せてくれた馬にお礼を言い撫ぜて感謝しました。

The weather was bad, but that actually turned out to be a good thing. It rained a little, and since the ground was wet, there was no dust being kicked up, which I was worried about because of the reviews mentioning getting muddy, but that didn't happen. My son, who was driving, was happy about it. However, it was all in English without any interpretation, so I couldn't understand anything, which was disappointing. If there had been a Japanese interpreter, I would have enjoyed it much more.

天気は悪かったのですが、それがむしろ良かったです。少し雨が降り、地面が、湿っていたので、ホコリが巻き上がらず、泥だらけになる、の口コミにびびってましたが、それはなかったです。運転した息子が、喜んでました。ただ通訳がなく、全て英語だったので全く分からず残念でした。日本語通訳があればもっと楽しめました。

Since the guide was very energetic and spoke in English from the morning, I had some concerns about the mountain climbing, but my motivation to climb increased.

朝からとても元気よく英語でのガイドしてくれたので山登りに多少の心配がありましたが、登る気分が高まりました。

Driving a buggy through nature!
I signed up for this tour for a trip with my 67-year-old mother! I was a bit anxious about driving, so we opted for a driver, but it seemed like I could have driven myself! We drove through nature at about 20 kilometers per hour and were guided to locations that were used as filming sites for movies, and they also took wonderful photos for us!
They provided explanations at various points, but it was in English, so I couldn't understand anything... I think I would have enjoyed it more if I understood English.

The facility has places to grab light snacks, a restaurant, and a souvenir corner.
Next time, I want to go for a walk in nature on horseback!

大自然の中をバギーでドライブ！
67歳の母とのふたり旅で、こちらのツアーに申し込みました！運転は不安でしたのでドライバー付にしましたが、運転出来そうな感じでした！自然の中を時速20キロ程度で走行し映画のロケ地になった所などへ案内してもらえ、素敵な写真も撮影してくれます！
所々で説明もしてくれますが、英語でしたので、全く解らず…英語がわかればもっと楽しめたと思います。

施設には軽食が取れる場所やレストラン、お土産コーナーもあります。
次は馬に乗って自然の中をお散歩したい！と思いました。

We had 25 people on the boat and had plenty of room. The crew was great. We caught fish, snorkeled and saw so many whales. This boat comes highly recommended!

The shuttle driver was cheerful and it was fun. It takes a bit of physical effort, but once you reach the top and see the view, your spirits lift, and I even saw a rainbow. It was a bit cloudy, so if it had been sunnier, it would have been even better.

送迎の運転手さんが愉快で楽しかった。
体力は少し使うけど、登りきって景色を見れば気分上々で虹も見れました。
少し曇り気味だったのでもっと晴れてたらもっと最高

My family and I had an absolutely incredible time. The guides were amazing. The views were absolutely incredible. This is a must do when visiting the island.

The eight ziplines offered great views of Maui’s coastline, and the guides made the adventure safe and fun!

Horses were well cared for and easy to ride, and the trails offered stunning mountain and ocean views

Both trails offered stunning scenery—the panoramic views from Diamond Head and the rainforest vibes at Manoa Falls were unforgettable.

Riding through the lush landscapes and famous movie sites was unforgettable

The treetop ziplines were thrilling with incredible views, and the guides were professional, fun, and made safety a clear priority.

Swimming beneath the waterfalls was refreshing, and the kayaking and SUP added a fun mix of adventure

This ATV tour at Kualoa Ranch was an absolute highlight - scenery incredible and riding through it on an ATV made the experience even more exciting.

The horse is well-trained, so you can ride it right away even if it's your first time. At first, we go along a path in the woods, but after a while, we come out into an open grassland. I guess this is the filming location for the movie. Once you get here, the scenery is fantastic. The horse is very gentle, so I was a bit nervous at first, but I quickly got used to it and had a wonderful experience. The hamburger was delicious.

人馴れした馬なので、初めてでもすぐに乗れます。
最初は林の中の道を進みますが、しばらくすると開けた草原に出ます。
ここが映画のロケ地ってことでしょうか。
ここまで来れば景色も最高になります。
とてもおとなしい馬なので、最初は少し緊張しますがすぐに慣れて、とても良い体験ができました。
ハンバーガーは美味しかったです。

It was truly amazing! If you're hesitating, definitely give it a try. It's not at a height that would be scary even for those with a fear of heights, so I can't really say. You don't need to understand English to enjoy it! The weather was great on the day, and I was only worried about the motion sickness mentioned in the reviews, but I had no symptoms at all. It was just pure fun!

本当に最高でした！
迷われている方、是非飛んでみて下さい。
高所恐怖症でも怖いというレベルの高さでは無いので、もはや分からないです。
英語が分からなくても大丈夫です！
当日は天気も良く、口コミにある酔いだけが心配でしたが、症状も全く無く、ただただ楽しかったの一言でした。

I had seen all the Jurassic World movies, so the atmosphere and scenes from the films came back to life, and I was really excited.

ジェラシックワールドの映画すべて見てたので、その世界観&映画のシ-ンがよみがえってとてもワクワクしました。

I was able to swim through the vast sky, and the contrast with the blue ocean was amazing. The instructors were all cheerful and had great energy!

大空を空中遊泳ができ、青い海のコントラストも最高でした。インストラクターも皆さん陽気でノリもサイコー

I was unsure about joining the tour since I was going alone, but since it’s Hawaii Island, I decided to give it a try. This tour takes you to the summit in a 12-passenger bus. We go up to 4,200 meters, so to avoid altitude sickness, we take a 40-minute break at 2,700 meters to acclimatize. During that time, we could buy souvenirs and use the restroom, which was quite clean.

Once we reached the summit, it was very cold, around 0 degrees Celsius. Many people borrowed warm clothing, but I was fine with what I brought (a knit hat, neck warmer, fleece, down jacket, and thermal pants).

The sunset was amazing, as we could see it from a higher point than Mount Fuji. After that, we moved to a spot where we could see the starry sky, and while enjoying warm cocoa, we spent a luxurious time learning about which stars belonged to which constellations.

It’s a life-changing experience, so I highly recommend you go!

1人参加だしツアー行くか迷ってましたが、せっかくのハワイ島だから行ってみようと決めました。
こちらのツアーは12人乗りのバスで山頂までいきます。
4200mまであがるので、高山病にならないように2700m地点で40分休憩して体を慣らします。
そこではお土産を買えたりトイレも行けました。
トイレは普通に綺麗でした。

山頂まで行くととても寒くて0度くらいになります。
防寒具は借りてる人も多かったですが私は持参したもので足りました。
（ニット帽、ネックウォーマー、フリース、ダウン、浦起毛パンツ）

日の入りは富士山よりも高いところから見れてとても良いです。
その後、星空が見える位置まで移動し、どの星がどの星座か教えてもらいながら温かいココアをいただきながら贅沢な時間を過ごしました。

人生観が変わるのでぜひ行ってみてください！

I participated in a tour that required meeting at the location. The check-in at the ticket center went smoothly, but the meeting place was not the visitor center as indicated on the Veltra website and the voucher. Specifically, there was a separate reception for the buggies, and we had to gather there. Once we gathered, the departure time for the buggies was set, and we received a tour briefing (in English) along with the rental of helmets and goggles. We arrived at the location by rental car and planned to have lunch at the visitor center before joining the tour, but we were unaware of these arrangements, so we had to rush through lunch to participate. While I was satisfied with the content of the tour, I felt that Veltra's guidance was unhelpful. There are other tours like horseback riding, so there might be some confusion about the meeting places, but I believe Veltra should take responsibility for confirming that the information is accurate.

現地集合のツアーで参加しました
チケットセンターでチェックインまではスムーズにできましたが、その後の集合場所はベルトラのHPとバウチャーの案内にあったビジターセンターではありませんでした。具体的には、チケットセンターとは別にバギーの受付があり、そこに集合するとバギーの出発組と時間が決まり、その時間までにツアーの説明（英語）やヘルメット・ゴーグルの貸出を受けます。私たちはレンタカーで現地到着後、ビジターセンターで昼食を済ませてからツアーに参加しようと考えていましたが、それらの段取りが分からなかったので慌ただしく昼食を済ませて参加せざるを得ませんでした。ツアーの内容には満足ですが、ベルトラの案内は不親切だと思いました。乗馬など他のツアーもあるので集合場所を混同しているかもしれませんが、案内が合っているかの確認はベルトラが責任を持って行うべきだと思います。

It was an experience that could only be done on a tour! We had explanations on acclimatization to high altitudes, enjoyed BLT sandwiches, warm cocoa, and took lots of photos. I was thinking about not booking a tour and just seeing the starry sky on my own during the trip, but observing the stars from a place higher than the center was a really great experience.

ツアーじゃないとできない体験ばかりでした！
高地順応のポイント説明、BLTサンドに、温かいココアとたくさんの写真撮影。
旅ではツアー予約しないで星空を個人で見ようかなあとも思ったのですが、センターより高い場所での星空観測はとてもいい経験でした。

It was a time to quietly watch the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds. The colors changed moment by moment. As I looked at the sky, I felt my mind gradually quieting down. It's beautiful. Even though I couldn't express more than that, it felt sufficient. A time when I didn't have to think about anything or be anyone. I thought it was incredibly luxurious to have moments like this when my heart could unwind.

雲海に沈んでいくサンセットを、ただ静かに眺める時間だった。刻々と色が変わっていく。空を見ているうちに頭の中がすっと静かになっていくのを感じた。きれいだね。以上の言葉が出てこないのにそれで充分だった気がする。何かを考えなくても、何者かでなくてもいい時間。こんなふうに心がほどける瞬間があるのはすごく贅沢だと思った。

I had a wonderful time on my ride along. I felt like I had a personal tour guide. Sheldon was not only knowledgeable but really funny too. He told us on myths and legends of the island while teaching us various aspects of Hawaiian culture and language. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

This was my first time climbing Diamond Head, and I wasn't sure about the procedures for the climb or how to get there, so I decided to book a shuttle plan. I signed up for a pickup at 6:20, but the day before, I received a notification that the time had changed to 7:20. I was able to confirm this change through a phone call and email from the hotel front desk, so I wasn't worried.

On the day of the pickup at 7:20, I arrived early and waited, and the car arrived right on time. The driver was a very pleasant man, and I was able to depart without any anxiety, making the climb enjoyable. There were children and elderly people climbing as well, but it was surprisingly tough. I think it's best to wear proper hiking shoes and clothing. (The night before, there had been rain and strong winds, but it was sunny in the morning. However, there were some muddy spots, so caution is needed during the rainy season.)

After finishing the climb and returning to the car, I was given a cold bottle of water. When I asked the driver, "We would like to stop by a nearby café on the way back, is it better to part ways here?" he immediately seemed to understand and asked for the name of the café, saying, "You can go ahead and drop you off there." Since it was a café near Diamond Head, I was dropped off there instead of at the hotel. I really appreciated the kindness and felt safe participating in this experience. Thank you very much. (On the way back from the café, I enjoyed a pleasant walk back to my hotel in Waikiki.)

ダイヤモンドヘッドに登るのは初めてで、登るための手続きもよくわからないし、現地に行くのにどうするか…と考えるのも面倒だったので送迎プランを申し込みました。6:20お迎えのプランで申し込みましたが、前日になって時間変更の連絡があり、7:20に変更に。その連絡はホテルのフロントからの電話とメールで確認ができたので不安はありませんでした。
当日は7:20お迎えだったので早めに待機しておりましたが、時間ぴったりに車が到着しました。とても感じのいい男性ドライバーさんで、不安なく出発→登山も楽しくできました。子供や年配の方も登っていますが、意外ときついです。きちんと登山しやすい靴・服装でいくといいと思います。（前日の夜に雨と強風が吹いており、当日朝は晴れておりました。ですが、少し足元がぬかるんでいるところがあったので、雨季は注意が必要です。）
登山を終えて車に戻ると、冷たいお水（ペットボトル）を渡してくださいました。そして、「私たちは帰りに近くのカフェに寄りたいので、ここで解散したほうがいいですか？」とドライバーさんに聞くと、すぐにそのカフェのことがわかったようでそのカフェの名前を言って聞いてくださり、「乗って行っていいよ」と言ってくださいました。ダイヤモンドヘッド近くのカフェなので、ホテルではなくカフェ近くで降ろしていただきました。とても親切で、安心して参加させていただけたことに感謝しております。ありがとうございました。（カフェの帰りはお散歩がてらワイキキのホテルまで歩いて帰りましたが気持ちよかったです。）

You can see stunning views of the sea and mountains. Riding a horse can be challenging until you get used to it, but this breathtaking scenery is something you can't see anywhere else. The horses are smart, and the female staff were kind as well. It's okay if your English isn't perfect.

海と山の絶景が見れます。馬に乗るので慣れるまで大変だけど、この絶景はここじゃなと見れないかな。馬はお利口です。スタッフの女性も優しかったですよ。英語はそこそこでも大丈夫で

Accessing the location was a bit challenging from Waikiki by rental car, but the horseback riding time was very long, and I was satisfied! The scenery was magnificent and beautiful. The horses were very smart, and the staff was kind. At the end, you can feed the horses a little. I gave a tip at that time!

アクセスはワイキキからはレンタカーで少し大変でしたが、乗馬時間はとても長い時間あるし、満足出来ました！とにかく景色が雄大で美しいです。馬たちはとても賢く、スタッフも親切でした。最後に馬に餌を少しあげられます。その時にチップを渡しました！

We purchased two tickets, after reaching were asked to pay for some mandatory fees for the face mask for 8$ each. So just be aware of that extra cost. Also, I would not recommend purchasing Pictures options for 40$ as it’s waste of money and they don’t take that good images. You will have ample opportunity to take your own pictures , so no need to waste those 49$ for poor quality images.

Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and prepared and our experience was unique with the viewing of a huge shooting star crossing the sky as a prelude to the eruption of the volcano in the distance. Unforgettable, thank you!

The driver was a cheerful person. It was fun! On the day I participated, most of the attendees were Japanese. They provided timely pick-up and drop-off services.

ドライバーさんが陽気な方でした。楽しかったです！
私が参加した日は日本人の方がほとんどでした。時間通りに送迎をしてくれました。
