I was picked up three hours before the participation time at the Aloha Landing Bus stop at Sheraton Waikiki Hotel (this may vary by person).
At the Aloha Landing Bus stop, the bus arrived just in time for departure, which might cause anxiety for those used to Japanese standards, but let's wait without rushing.
Before boarding, there was a prior instruction to present the VELTRA voucher, but in reality, you need to show your passport to the person managing the bus passengers (who is different from the driver) for check-in. If you show the voucher to that person, you might get yelled at with "Passport!!" in frustration, so be sure to bring your passport! There was someone who didn't have their passport and had a bit of a hassle before boarding.
It takes about an hour to get to Kualoa Ranch, and you arrive in no time.
Once at the ranch, there is a Japanese-speaking guide who hands out a paper with the experience time and return bus schedule for each person. They also explain the locations of the activities at that time. With this paper, you can easily communicate without any waste when participating in activities or boarding the return bus, so make sure not to lose it! After the explanation, you have free time until your participation time, so you can browse the shop, eat, or pet the horses.
The check-in for the UTV Raptor starts 15 minutes before the scheduled time, and you will need to show your driver's license at that time. After check-in, you will watch an instructional video before driving, but if you don’t specify, you will watch the video in English. If you're not confident in English, make sure to clearly say "Japanese"! There is also a Japanese version of the instructional video available.
The four-wheeled buggy has no windows on all sides, so the dust is incredible (laughs). You will get dirtier than you can imagine, so it's best to participate in clothes you don't mind throwing away and shoes or bags that can get dirty!
Also, since your face will get completely black from the dust, I think it's a good idea to prepare a mask or bandana to cover your face. Afterward, my mouth felt gritty, which was quite a hassle^^ I also recommend bringing a change of clothes for the return trip!
The four-wheeled buggy is not too difficult to drive aside from the bumps and ups and downs (of course, there are no intersections or traffic lights), so I think those who drive regularly will have no problem. It was my first experience with a left-hand drive, but it was totally fine.
The scenery was amazing, with the wind blowing through, and it was so much fun to race through the landscapes I saw in Jurassic Park! Above all, the tour guides were friendly and playful, making for a wonderful time.
I definitely want to participate again!
シェラトン・ワイキキ・ホテルのアロハランディングバス乗り場で参加時間の3時間前にピックアップされました。(人によって異なります)
アロハランディングバス乗り場では、出発時間ギリギリにバスが到着したので、日本の感覚だと不安になると思いますが、焦らずに待っていましょう。
乗車する前にVELTRAのバウチャーを提示するように事前指示がありましたが、実際はバスの乗客管理する人(運転手とは別)にパスポートを見せて受付となります。
その人にバウチャーを見せるとイライラされながら「パスポート!!」と怒鳴られる事になるので、忘れずにパスポートを持って行きましょう!笑
パスポートを持参されてなくて乗車前に少し揉めている人がいました。
クアロア牧場までは約1時間、あっという間に到着します。
牧場に着いてからは日本語のガイドさんがおり、ひとりひとりに体験時間や帰りのバスの時間等が書かれている紙が渡されます。その際にアクティビティの場所などの説明もあります。
この紙があれば、アクティビティに参加する際や、帰りのバスに乗る際に見せるだけでお互いに無駄の無く意思疎通が出来て、とても便利なので無くさないようにしましょう!
説明の後は各々の参加時間までフリーなので、ショップを見たり、ご飯を食べたり、馬を撫でたりして過ごします。
UTV Raptor の受け付けは開始時間の15分から、その際に運転免許証を見せます。
受付後の運転前に説明動画を観るのですが、何も伝えないと英語の説明動画を観ることになります。
英語が不安な方ははっきり「Japanese」と伝えましょう!日本語の説明動画もあります。
四輪バギーは全方向窓がないので、とにかく土埃が
すごい(笑)
想像の50倍汚れたので、棄てても良い服、汚れても良い靴や鞄などで参加された方が良いです!
また、土埃で顔が真っ黒になるので、運動用の顔を覆い隠すマスクやバンダナ等を用意された方が良いと思います。
終わった後には口の中もジャリジャリして大変でした^^
帰りの事も考えて着替えを持ってくるのもおすすめします!
四輪バギーは凸凹やアップダウンが多い以外はそんなに難しい道ではないので(当然ですが交差点も信号もない)
日頃、運転されている方は問題なく運転できると思います。
左ハンドル初体験でしたが、全然問題ありませんでした。
景色も最高で、風が吹き抜けて、ジュラシックパークで観た景色を疾走するのはとても楽しかったです!何よりツアーガイドさんが皆さん気さくでお茶目でより素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。
是非また参加したいです!

The day of the tour was just one day before the full moon, and with 98% moonlight, it was too bright to see a perfect starry sky (I should have checked the lunar calendar in advance...). However, the sea of clouds below was breathtaking, and the sunset from the summit at an elevation of 4,207 meters was truly beautiful and very moving.
Our tour guide, Stephan, was very friendly and, despite being a tall foreigner, he grew up in Japan and speaks fluent Japanese. He was very kind, took many photos for us, and even sent us some amazing starry sky pictures he had taken in the past via AirDrop. The vegetarian sandwich was also very delicious, and the cocoa he made for us at the summit was incredibly tasty and warming. Thank you for a wonderful experience and memories.
ツアー当日は満月の一日前で、月明かり98%ということで満点の星空を見るには明るすぎたのですが、(事前にちゃんと月齢カレンダーを確認すべきでした、、)雲を下に見る雲海は絶景で、標高4207mの山頂からのサンセットは本当に綺麗で、とても感動しました。
ツアーガイドのステファンさんはとても気さくで見た目は背の高い外人さんですが、バリバリの日本育ちとのことで、日本語ペラペラで、とても親切で写真もたくさん撮ってくれて、過去に撮影した素晴らしい星空の写真もAirDropで送ってくださいました。
ベジタリアンサンドイッチもとても美味しく、山頂で入れてくれたココアはとっても美味しくてあたたまりました。素敵な体験と思い出をありがとうございました。

The pickup location for the bus on the way there was hard to find. (There were many people from other tours, and we couldn't tell what our bus looked like.)
As for the horseback riding, we could hear the sound of the waves and got splashed by the sea spray, and the wind felt pleasant. The horse was calm and occasionally stopped to graze, which was enjoyable as well. Riding along the coast, something we can't do in Japan, was a valuable experience.
In Haleiwa Town, we only had time for lunch, and it would have been nice to have a little more time to relax.
行きのバスのピックアップ場所がわかりづらかった。(他のツアーの人たちも多く、自分たちのバスがどのような物かもわからなかった)
乗馬については波の音が聞こえ、波飛沫がかかるくらいで、風が心地よかったです。馬もおとなしく時々草を食んで道草しましたが、それも楽しかった。日本では出来ない海岸沿いの乗馬は貴重な体験でした。
ハレイワタウンではランチの時間しか無くもう少しゆっくり出来たら良かった。

This tour involves walking through the tropical rainforest in Honolulu to reach Manoa Falls, followed by enjoying delicious sandwiches (acai bowls) at the spacious Tantalus Lookout. The contrast between the jungle and the view from the hill was quite interesting.
During the trekking, our guide Daisuke provided various explanations, which was very helpful. Without a guide, I think the experience would have been less enjoyable. It seems there has been little rainfall recently, so unfortunately, the waterfall had a lower water volume, but trekking through the jungle was very enjoyable.
The path was quite rocky and muddy, making it difficult to walk, so I recommend borrowing a walking stick. Insect repellent spray was also available for us to use.
ホノルルの熱帯雨林の道を歩いてマノアの滝に到着、その後広々としたタンタラスの丘で美味しいサンドイッチ(アサイーボウル)を楽しむツアーです。ジャングルの中と丘からの眺めとその対比もなかなか面白かったです。

I participated because my daughter invited me! I had some anxiety about riding the free-range horses, but before we mounted, there was a video explanation in Japanese covering the precautions. We were paired up in groups of six, with two instructors who occasionally checked in on us, and they spoke a bit of Japanese! The horse I rode seemed to be a veteran that suited me well; it was very cautious, allowing me to ride comfortably. It was a very enjoyable two hours.

The assisted mountain bike is amazing! You can easily climb hills while sitting down. The exhilaration of racing through nature on a mountain bike is exceptional. Additionally, at the photo spots, you have a reasonable amount of time to take breaks. The bike used is the Trek Rail, available in three sizes: S, M, and L.

There was no guide who could speak Japanese, and basic English communication skills were necessary, but even though I couldn't speak any English at all, they kindly explained things while using a language translation app on their phone and actively engaged in communication, which made it really enjoyable for me. That said, it's definitely true that being able to speak English would enhance the experience even more.
I recommend participating in clothes that you wouldn't mind throwing away. The red dirt stains won't come out even after washing. I participated in a white shirt that I planned to discard, and after the event, it turned into a reddish-brown shirt. (It also got soaked in the rain...)
The tour runs on really bumpy roads from a certain point, so it's better for people with neck or back issues to skip it. (I think there was something in the consent form before participation that mentioned self-responsibility.)
I'm not sure if it was because the weather was rainy when we participated, but the goggles provided had gaps where water could get in, and they became hard to see through due to dirt, while we were going at quite a speed (about 20 km/h), making it difficult to keep up. Especially for those with contact lenses, it's hard to keep your eyes open. (I was one of them.)
There are no shower rooms, just a place to wash your face and hands, and if you want to take a shower, you'll need to go to a nearby beach.
日本語を話せるガイドがおらず、基本的な英語でのコミュニケーション能力が必要とありましたが、全く英語が出来ない自分にも嫌な顔せず、携帯で言語変換しながら優しく説明してくれたり、コミュニケーションも積極的にとってくれて盛り上げてもらい、すごく楽しめました。
とはいえ、やはり英語はできるほうが更に楽しめることは間違いないです。
服装は本当に捨ててもいい服で参加する事をお勧めします。赤土での汚れは洗濯しても取れません。
自分は捨てる予定の白シャツで参加し、参加後には赤茶色のシャツになってました。(雨が降って染み込んだのもありますが…)
ツアーは途中から本当に凸凹の道を走るので、首や腰の悪い人はやめた方がいいです。(参加前の承諾書にも自己責任でみたいなのが書いてあったと思います。)
自分達が参加した時の天気が雨だったからなのかわかりませんが、貸してもらえるゴーグルだと隙間から入ってきたり、ゴーグルが汚れで見え辛くなっているのに、結構なスピード(約20Km/h)で走るのでついて行くのが大変でした。
特にコンタクトの方は目が開けてられないです。(自分がそうでした)
シャワールームはなく、顔や手を洗うぐらいの場所があるだけで、シャワーを浴びたければ近くのビーチまで行く必要があります。

I wanted to experience activities other than the beach in Hawaii, so I participated in this tour. It was great to have round-trip transportation included since it was too far to go on my own from Honolulu.
After the shuttle bus arrived, the process was as follows: voucher handover → waiting → experience → waiting → boarding the return bus. Communication was primarily in English, but there were no difficult interactions, so I didn't have any issues.
During the waiting times, you have free time to explore the souvenir shops and a simple food court in the park.
The horseback riding lasts about two hours, which can make your backside sore, but I was very satisfied as it's not often you get the chance to ride through such beautiful nature for an extended period. The horses are well-trained, and while they provide a brief introduction to basic riding techniques, it's mostly just about enjoying the ride without any complicated tasks.
ハワイで海以外のアクティビティを体験したいと思い参加しました。ホノルルから自力で行くには、遠すぎるので往復送迎付きでよかったです。

待機の時間帯は自由行動で、園内のお土産屋さん、簡単なフードコート等で時間を潰せます。
乗馬は2時間くらいのため、お尻が痛くなりますが、大自然の中を馬で長い時間散策する機会はないので大変満足しています。訓練された馬なので、簡単な調教方法はレクチャーされますが、基本的には乗っているだけで難しいことはありません。

I traveled alone to Hawaii for the first time in my life and made a reservation for skydiving, which was one of my main goals.
Since I didn't rent a car, the shuttle service was a deciding factor for me.
The man who picked me up spoke Japanese well and shared information about Hawaii's history and recommended spots during the hour-long drive, making it feel like a fun guided tour!
Once I arrived, there was no one who spoke Japanese, so I was grateful that the man who picked me up acted as my interpreter.
Due to various regulations and weather conditions, there was a bit of a wait, but after receiving the briefing, we headed straight up into the sky for skydiving!
Before I could even think about being scared, it felt like I was just jumping right in, so there was no time to feel fear—it was over in a flash!
The scenery was incredibly beautiful, and it was a view only those who have jumped can see. I'm really glad I did it!
It was so amazing that even after it was over, I couldn't stop smiling!
If you're coming to Hawaii, I definitely recommend doing this!
I chose a course where the instructor took photos and videos, and they sent me a well-edited video along with a considerable number of photos. The quality was worth the price, so if you have the budget, go for it!
Also, it's a good idea to prepare tips of about $10 for the driver and $20 to $30 for the instructor.

The driver was very friendly and shared interesting stories, making the journey enjoyable. The Dole plantation was less lively than when I visited before, and the pineapple ice cannot be purchased with a card, so cash is necessary. The driver explained the horseback riding in Japanese beforehand, which made me feel at ease. A staff member will take photos along the way, so be sure to bring your smartphone. There is only one riding club, and it's not very clean, so I recommend bringing hand towels or similar items. The stroll around Haleiwa goes by quickly, so it might be better to ask the driver to place a lunch order in advance. It gets crowded when eating and lining up for shave ice, so Aoki might be a better choice. I wish I had a bit more time.

Overall the tour was great. Yoshi was very friendly and had everything needed for those unprepared, which was not us. Hot tea or coffee, blankets, heavy jackets, etc. The tour of the top, views of the craters and everything was great. He stopped on the way up so folks could buy food for dinner. We went from the top down to his secret spot for dinner, arriving about 40 minutes before sunset. Set up the cameras and relaxed while watching a spectacular sunset. Clouds moved in though and it got cold(er) and wet, so he took us down the hill I. Search of clear skies. It rained and we'd given up hope of stargazing when we came out of the clouds and he found a great viewing spot. We spent over an hour looking at various stellar things, as well as Saturn and the moon- the only solar system bodies in view. Overall we had a fun time. Would do again!

When I arrived at the meeting place, I could see the popularity of Kualoa with a large group tour. (It seems that participants in other adventures at Kualoa Ranch were also present, not just for horseback riding.)
Upon arrival, I was directed to the Japanese-speaking group, where explanations were provided in Japanese. When I went to the horseback riding area at the meeting time, I was in a group with five Americans and myself. I was guided to watch a Japanese explanation video, and then we set off on a two-hour tour with the other five.
The staff selected horses that seemed well-suited to each person's physique and age.
During the two-hour journey, they frequently asked if I was okay. Being Japanese, I answered "I'm fine," but the other Americans openly expressed their discomfort, mentioning knee and back pain. When I mentioned that my knee was slightly hurting, they adjusted the stirrup length for me. Once my foot position was lowered and my knee was slightly extended, it became quite comfortable. So, if you feel any discomfort while riding, I think it’s good to communicate that without hesitation.
They provided explanations of the scenery along the way, but since the six horses were walking somewhat apart, it was difficult for me to hear the staff's voice from the back of the group. With my English skills, it was hard to catch the faint English being spoken, so I focused on enjoying the magnificent scenery while horseback riding. Nevertheless, the staff (two staff members accompanied our group of six) checked in with questions like, "Is this your first time in Hawaii?" and "How's the horseback riding?" showing their care.
The two hours were quite ample, allowing me to fully enjoy Kualoa. The hamburger made with ranch beef and the sorbet frozen in coconut shells were delicious!
集合場所に行くと大人数のツアーで、クアロアの人気ぶりがうかがえました。(乗馬だけでなく、クアロア牧場で行う他のアドベンチャーの参加者も一緒のようです)
到着すると、日本人の方はこちらへ、と言われ、日本語で解説がありました。集合時間に乗馬の場所に行くと、5人の米国人と私1人が1つのグループ。私だけ日本語の解説動画を見るよう案内され、それから他の5人と一緒に2時間のツアーに出発。
スタッフがそれぞれの体格や年齢層に合わせて相性の良さそうな馬を選んで乗せてくれる感じでした。
2時間の行程の途中で、たびたび大丈夫?と聞いてくれるので、日本人的に「大丈夫」と答えていたのですが、他の米国人達は膝が痛いとか腰が痛いとか遠慮せずに色々言っているので、私も膝が少し痛む旨伝えたところ、あぶみの長さを調整してくれました。足の位置が下がって膝が少し伸びるとかなり快適になったので、乗馬中に身体の痛みなどが気になったら、遠慮せず伝えてみると良いと思います。
途中途中で風景の説明などをしてくれましたが、6名の馬がやや離れて歩いているので、一番後ろの私の位置では声が遠く、私の英語力ではかすかに聞こえる英語を聞き取るのは難しかったので、あまり気にせず雄大な風景にどっぷりつかって乗馬を楽しみました。それでもスタッフの方は(6人グループに2人のスタッフがついてくれます)ハワイは初めて?とか、乗馬は?とか色々声をかけて気遣ってくださいました。
2時間はかなりたっぷりな時間で思う存分クアロアを楽しめました。
牧場ビーフを使ったハンバーガーや、ココナッツの殻に凍らしてあるシャーベットなど、美味しかったです!

Japanese tourists have returned to Hawaii. However, due to the pandemic, there are hardly any Japanese guides left, making the tours quite boring for those who struggle with English. On tours that showcase the rich nature, Pocketalk usually doesn't work, and we find ourselves tuning out the rapid-fire English explanations. Please rehire Japanese guides soon! We are only reluctantly signing up for English guides!
ハワイにも、日本人が戻ってきましたね。でも、日系のガイドさんはコロナ禍でほとんど居なくなってしまい、英語が苦手な日本人にはつまらないツアーばかりになりました。
豊かな自然が売りのツアーでは、たいていポケトークは機能せず、マシンガンの様な英語のガイドをしらけながら聞き流しています。
早く日系ガイドを再雇用してあげてください!
英語のガイドは、仕方なく申し込んでいるだけですよ!

I was moved from start to finish!
It was my first time skydiving, and I think this experience is something you can't find anywhere else!
If you've ever thought about wanting to try it, I definitely recommend it!!!
The person who jumped with me was really wonderful, and I was able to jump with peace of mind!!
If you can communicate in English to some extent, you can complete it safely!!
最初から最後まで感動しました!
僕は人生初のスカイダイビングでしたが
この経験は他では味わえないと思います!
もし少しでもやりたいなと思っていたら
是非オススメしたいです!!!
一緒に飛んでくれた方がとても素敵な方で
安心して飛ぶことができました!!
英語でコミュニケーションが多少取れれば
無事に終わることもできます!!

Kevin picked us up at our hotel on time and spent the day showing us the west and south sides of Kauai. He gave us lessons in pronouncing Hawaiian words, the geology of Kauai, and history of Kauai, while driving from viewpoint to viewpoint. He was sensitive to what we were interested in and what types of food we wanted for lunch. We were impressed that he understood the weather patterns, kept a constant watch on the clouds, and was able to get us to the Waimea Canyon and Na Pali coast viewpoints at times when we could see the views.
We had a most enjoyable day and would highly recommend tour guide Kevin and The Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour - South and West tour.
