All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

This was an amazing tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable. Gorgeous views and so many stars. We even got to see Saturn and the Milky Way! Both our kids 11 &15 fully enjoyed it. One said it was their favorite activity on our trip. We will definitely be doing it again on our next trip to Maui. It’s does get cold at the top, so make sure you bring layers, hat and gloves! Blankets are provided!

Incredible and magnificent scenery! You can't experience this anywhere in Japan! You absolutely have to do it! I had a bit of muscle soreness afterward. Next time, I want to try the buggy ride too!

凄い壮大な絶景！日本でね絶対に味わえない！
絶対にやった方がいい！少し筋肉痛になりました。次はバギーもやってみたい！

It was hot for a long time, and sitting on the horse for two hours was tiring, but it was a valuable experience! Next time, I want to participate early in the morning!

時間的に暑くて、2時間ウマの上に座ってるのが疲れましたが貴重な体験ができました！
今度は朝早く参加したいです！

We drove on a bumpy forest road with a big truck, and the views of the Ko'olau Mountains and China Man Hat Island were very beautiful. The driver was a woman, and she was skilled at driving and very entertaining to talk to.

大きなトラックでガタガタ道のアップダウンの激しい林道を走り、コーラウ山脈や海にはChina Man Hat Islandが見えてとても綺麗でした。
とくにドライバーが女性で運転も上手でおしやべりがとても面白かった。

I had the experience in September. The car was exclusively ours, with no other customers present.

We secured Krispy Kreme donuts and recommended food, and after taking a break along the way, we drove to the summit over 3000 meters high. They provided us with warm clothing and blankets as a precaution against the cold, and while sitting and enjoying warm drinks, we were captivated by our conversation with Yamapi-san, almost missing the sunset (laughs). After sunset, we moved to the opposite side and saw a fantastical moon in a sky transitioning from red to blue.

As it got darker, we looked up at the stars and constellations, received explanations, and observed various celestial bodies through a telescope, creating an extraordinary experience.

Yamapi-san has climbed Haleakalā over 3000 times, so we felt safe leaving it in his hands. I was worried about altitude sickness and motion sickness, but I felt fine, and his stories were very interesting. He listened eagerly to our conversations, making it an enjoyable tour from start to finish.

I will definitely rely on him again when I visit Maui. Thank you very much.

9月に体験させていただきました。
車内は他のお客様はおられず私たちだけで貸切の状態での参加となりました。

クリスピードーナツやオススメフードを確保して、途中休憩を挟みながら、車で3000メートル超えの山頂へ。
防寒対策として防寒着や毛布を貸してくれ、椅子に座って暖かい飲み物をいただきながらの夕日鑑賞でしたが、ヤマピーさんとのお話しに夢中になってしまい、危うく夕日を逃すところでした(笑)
日没後は反対側に移動し、赤色から青色のグラデーションの空の中、幻想的な月を見れました。
周りが暗くなり、空を見上げながらの星座や星の説明、望遠鏡でのさまざまな天体観測が出来、非日常な体験が出来ました。

ヤマピーさんのハレアカラ登頂は3000回を超えているとのこと。安心してお任せできます。
高山病や車酔いを心配していましたが、体調を崩すことなく、そしてお話がとても興味深く、私達の話も熱心に聞いてくれて、終始楽しいツアーとなりました。
またマウイ島に行く際はお世話になります。
ありがとうございました。

I had to quickly book this tour because the buggy tour was sold out, but it turned out great. On the day of the tour, we were picked up at 7:30 at the Sheraton Aloha Landing, and there was a briefing for all the tours at the site (since my English isn't very good, we could hardly understand anything, only the e-bike registration and the location of the restroom). There were six participants in total: a couple from Europe, a couple from Korea, and us, plus the guide, which made for a small group. At registration, we were instructed to store larger bags in lockers. You can buy drinks on-site, but they're not particularly cheap, so I recommend bringing your own.

The instructions on how to operate the e-bike and safety precautions were provided in a video with Japanese subtitles, which was helpful. My wife, who usually only rides a regular bike, was a bit scared, but there was practice before we started, and she seemed to get used to it and enjoy the ride. The small group size and the guide's constant consideration made us feel at ease.

We stopped at filming spots and beautiful views to take photos with the guide. The scenery was amazing! There were many spots where we encountered people on buggies or trolley tours; while the routes were different, I think they covered similar highlights. I had originally aimed for the buggy tour, but seeing the buggies moving slowly in a line made me realize it wasn't the thrilling experience I had imagined. The e-bike allowed me to go at my own pace, and both the handling and speed felt fantastic, leaving me very satisfied.

We returned to the starting point at 11:30 and finished by buying hamburgers at a restaurant (the taste was average), had lunch, and departed for home at 1:00 PM. I chose the morning-only tour, and it was just right.

バギーツアーが売り切れたため急遽こちらのツアーを予約しましたがよかったです。当日はシェラトンのアロハランディングに7：30ピックアップ、現地で全てのツアーまとめてブリーフィングがありました（英語が苦手な私達はほとんど聞き取れず、e-bikeの受付とトイレの場所だけ理解できました）。e-bikeは欧米人夫婦、韓国人夫婦と私達夫婦の6人の参加者＋ガイドさんの少人数でした。受付時に荷物が大きい方はロッカーに預けるよう指示されます。現地で買えますが、特別安くはないので飲み物持参をオススメします。
操作法や注意事項の説明は動画で、日本語字幕があり助かりました。普段ママチャリしか乗らない妻は怖がっていましたが、スタート前に練習もあり、道中は慣れて楽しめたようです。少人数で、ガイドさんが常に気遣ってくださったのも安心でした。
映画の撮影スポットや景色がいいところで自転車を止め、その都度ガイドさんに写真を撮っていただけました。景色最高です！途中でバギーやトロリーツアー？の方々とも一緒になるスポットも多く、ルートは違うのでしょうが共通点もあり見どころは押さえてあると思います。もともとバギーツアーを狙っていましたが、バギーがゆっくり列で進んでいたのを見ると、私がイメージしていた疾走感のあるものではなさそうだったので、自分のペースで進めるe-bikeは操作感、疾走感ともに非常に気持ちがよく大満足でした。
11:30にスタート地点に戻って終了、レストランでハンバーガーを買って（味は普通）、ランチを済ませて、13:00出発で帰宅しました。午前だけのツアーを選びましたが丁度良かったです。

Guides were amazing! Wonderful stories about Hawaii, fun stops and beautiful scenery!

Tour guides, Nala and Marissa were awesome!! Nice, relaxing fun time.

The guides were amazing. Not only were the views spectacular, but I learned so much about the land. Be sure to wear clothes you don’t care about as we were covered in dirt/dust from the trail. But it was all worth it.
Helmet provided so don’t buy a sun hat in the gift shop like I did!
Gift shop was great too. Tons of food and items to buy. Highly recommend.

I was covered in dust from head to toe! I had a great laugh with the participants with my completely black face. Long pants were a must, but since I was going to get dirty anyway, maybe shorts would have been better. That said, it was a valuable experience that you can only have here.

全身砂ぼこり!　真っ黒い顔で参加者と大笑いでした。長ズボン必須になってましたが　どうせ汚れるので半ズボンの方がよかったかな　とは言えここでしか出来ない貴重な体験でした

The tour driver was great! He got us there and through the gate in a timely manner. However, if you are looking for serenity or a peaceful hike, you have come to the wrong place. It was so crowded it was hard to enjoy. Had some younger individuals that thought we might all enjoy their music blaring.

This site would benefit from a timed entry system.

It's far, but definitely worth it!
We traveled in a comfortable large bus with spacious seats.
The roads were congested, but since we climbed Diamond Head and visited the KCC Farmers' Market in the morning, it was nice to be able to sleep comfortably on the bus.
As we got closer, the color of the sea and the mountain scenery changed, allowing us to enjoy a mystical view that is different from the urban Waikiki.
All explanations were in English.
We had free time until the tour started, and we enjoyed a buffet with curry, meat, and salad. There was also a shop. There were plenty of things to see and do freely, so we had more than enough time to pass.
A paper with the meeting time and return time was distributed to each person, so as long as you keep it until the end, you can feel at ease. Even if you can't speak English, you can show the paper to get directions to the meeting place.
One issue was that the locker had a credit card error, didn't give change, and there were no staff nearby.
In the end, I was able to exchange money at the counter where I bought the tour ticket. Thanks to that trouble, I became friends with a newlywed Japanese couple participating in the same tour, so it turned out well. Unexpected events are part of traveling.
The horses are quite tall, which might be scary for beginners, but they are very gentle and listen carefully to instructions.
Basically, even without commands, they will move on their own when the horse in front starts to go, but if you keep making physical contact, they will look back as if to ask, "Is it okay to go?" and wait for a signal. So cute and smart! After a tough path, I thanked them many times.
There was no fast walking, so it was a leisurely stroll, but there were bumpy paths with ups and downs.
The guide was explaining something, but it was far away and in English, so I couldn't catch what they were saying at all. I want to improve my English skills and try again someday.
Calves came close, and the impressive mountains and breathtaking sea were just amazing! Since we were lined up in a row, there was hardly any interaction with other participants, which was comfortable for me as someone who joined alone. If you want to socialize with everyone, a bus tour or other activities might be good. Riding was a great choice for a unique experience!
Be prepared to get a little dirty or wet, so wearing comfortable clothes and shoes is important.
It drizzled, but there was no rainbow.
I wanted to see a Hawaiian rainbow!
I bought photos! I also purchased a T-shirt and a shop bag. They were cute, inexpensive, and of good quality. I wish I had bought more of the green and black bags hanging on the wall at the souvenir shop's register!

遠いけど行く価値あり！
快適なゆったりシートの大型バスで移動。
道は混んでたけど、朝からダイヤモンドヘッド登ってKCCファーマーズも回ったので バスで快適に眠れて助かりました。
近づくにつれて、海の色 山の風景が変わっていき、都会なワイキキとは違う 神秘的な絶景を楽しめます。
説明は全て英語。
ツアー時間までは自由時間で、ビュッフェでカレーやお肉、サラダを食べれました。売店もあります。他にも色々自由に見て回れるので、時間は充分に潰せます。
集合時間や帰りの時間の書いた紙を１人ずつ配られるので、最後まで無くさず持っていたら安心です。英語話せなくても紙を見せれば集合場所を教えてくれます。
１つ困ったのはロッカーがクレジットカードエラー&お釣が出ない&近くにスタッフがいない。
結局 ツアーチケットを買うカウンターで両替してもらえました。そのトラブルのおかげで同じツアーに参加する日本人の新婚さんと仲良くなれたので、結果オーライ。旅にハプニングはつきものです。
馬はかなり背が高く 初心者には怖いかも
でもとても穏やかで、繊細に指示を聴いてくれるちょー賢い子達です。
基本 指示がなくても、前の子が進み出したら勝手に進んでくれますが、スキンシップを取り続けると、「進んでいいの？」と振り返る素振りを見せて合図を待ってくれるようになりました。可愛&賢い！ハードな道のあとは「ありがと」とたくさん声かけました。
早足は無しなのでゆったり散歩する程度ですが、凸凹道 アップダウンあります。
ガイドさんがなにやら説明してますが、遠いし英語だし何言ってるか全く聞き取れなかったから、英語力をあげてまたいつか再チャレンジしたいな。
子牛が近づいて来たり、圧巻の山、絶景の海、
めっちゃ気持ち～！1列に並んでるので 他の参加者たちとの交流はほぼなく、１人で参加した身としては快適でした。みんなでわぃわぃしたいのであればバスツアーとか他のアクティビティもいいかも。なかなか出来ない経験としては乗馬で大正解でした♪
多少は汚れたり 濡れたりする覚悟で、
動きやすい服・靴大事です。
霧雨降りましたが 虹は出ず。
ハワイアンレインボー見たかった～！
写真購入！Tシャツ & ショップバックも購入。可愛いくて安くて質もよし。お土産屋さんのレジの壁にかかってる緑と黒のバック もっといっぱい買えばよかったな～！

I definitely want to ride again when I come to Hawaii. The scenery, with mountains and the ocean, allowed me to fully enjoy nature. I truly made the best memories in Hawaii.

またハワイに来たら絶対乗りたいです。
景色も山と海があり、大自然満喫できました。
本当にハワイ１最高の思い出ができました。

Considering the transportation, costs, and time spent in Hawaii, I honestly hesitated before making the reservation. However, my experience was truly amazing, and I was able to enjoy a luxurious time in Hawaii! The scenery and interaction with the horses were unique, and I felt genuinely healed while riding and feeling the warmth of the horses (*^^*).

We debated on transportation, but we decided to rent a car. We were able to stop by shops in Haleiwa and enjoy garlic shrimp from a food truck (it was emotional to have it again after 15 years!) and also visited the Dole Plantation, making for a very fulfilling day that included horseback riding. The instructor spoke entirely in English, but explained things clearly with gestures. The horses were very well-behaved, and we enjoyed a relaxed ride while only lightly holding the reins (^^).

The entrance by car was a bit tricky to find, but once you see the arena, slow down a bit, and you'll find the gate. After entering through the first large gate, you'll soon see the horses. We changed into shoes in the car (my husband wore sneakers, while my daughter and I wore compact flat shoes with belts to avoid bulky luggage) and prepared by signing in and borrowing helmets and storage for our belongings. The storage was a pocket-style that could be placed on the horse's back, fitting a phone, camera, and even a small water bottle. We also got to take photos by the beach, which made for wonderful memories! (The instructor called out at just the right moments.)

We wore long pants, but there was no worry about getting dirty while riding, so we could go shopping afterward. (Since there was a bit of sand blowing, it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes if you're concerned.) The daytime was fantastic, but I imagine the sunset would offer even more beautiful scenery, so I hope to experience it again!

The theme of this trip was to experience things that can only be done in Hawaii, and this horseback riding experience was perfect for that, creating the best memories for our family! Thank you so much to the wonderful instructor and the adorable horses ( ´ ▽ ` ) mahalo!

現地までの移動やお値段、ハワイでの滞在時間を考えた際、申し込みまで正直悩みました。しかし実際体験できての感想は、本当に贅沢なハワイ時間を過ごすことができて最高でした！！まさしくここでしか経験できない景色とお馬達との触れ合い、乗せてもらってお馬さんの温もりを感じながら本当に癒されました(*^^*)

移動手段で悩みましたが私達はレンタカーで向かい、ハレイワのお店やワゴンのガーリックシュリンプ(15年振りに食べれてそれも感動でした！)やドールプランテーションにも立ち寄れたので乗馬を含めとても充実した1日になりました。
先生はオール英語ではありますが、ジェスチャーなども交えながら分かりやすく説明してくれます。先生についていく感じで本当にお利口なお馬さん達でこちらは手綱を軽く持つ程度でゆったり乗馬を楽しめました(^^)
車での入り口が少し分かりづらいですが競技場がみえてきたら少しゆっくり走行していくとゲートがあり1つ目の大きなゲートの次のところを入っていくとすぐお馬達がみえる感じです。車で靴をシューズ(主人はスニーカー、私と娘は荷物がかさばらないよう少しコンパクトになるベルト付きのフラットシューズ)に履き替え、乗る前にサイン、ヘルメットと荷物入れを借りて準備します。荷物入れはお馬さんの背中に置かせてもらえるポケット式のもので携帯やカメラ、小さいものであれば水筒も入るサイズです。途中浜辺のところで写真も撮ってもらえて最高の記念になりました！！(程よいタイミングで先生が声を掛けてくれます)
服装は長ズボンになりますが乗った際に汚れてしまうようなことはなくそのまま買い物などできました。(若干砂が舞うので気になる方は着替えを持参されるといいかもです)
日中も最高でしたがサンセットの時間はさらにいい風景なのだろうと思うので、また体験できたらと思いました！

ハワイでしか体験できないことをが今回の旅行のテーマだったので、こちらでの乗馬体験はまさしくそれにぴったりで、家族の最高の思い出になりました！！
素敵な先生、そして可愛いお馬さん達、本当にありがとうございました( ´ ▽ ` )mahalo！

Seth and his crew were awesome. Very knowledgeable about the history of the island, It’s vegetation and wildlife.
A most return outing with Kauai Backcountry Adventures.
He expressed Safety was first. And his crew were very helpful in keeping us together. Lunch was great and plentiful. Great location and a ton of fun. Thanks Mike and Barb ‍♂️

You can enjoy the breathtaking views of Kualoa while riding a horse.

The horse knows the route well, so you basically don’t have to do much to keep moving forward.

The local staff provides explanations, but I couldn’t understand what they were saying in English; however, during that time, you can enjoy the stunning scenery.

The views had a power that photos just can't capture.

You can also have photos taken, so I was satisfied.

クアロアの絶景を馬に乗りながら楽しめます

馬がルートをほとんど把握してるので基本的に何もしなくても進んでくれます

現地スタッフが解説してくれてますが英語で何言ってるか分かりませんが、その間に絶景を楽しめます

景色は写真では伝わりきらない迫力がありました

写真も撮ってもらえるので満足です

Our guide was wonderful! It was everything we wanted it to be. Our children aged 8 and 10 had the time of their life. It was their first excursion in Hawaii and the one they talked about the most. They said it was the best excursion ever. They loved the guide, the hiking, the swimming, and all the extra experiences they had.

It was the best of the best experience for skydiving! The scenery and location were good, the staff were kind, and I was able to capture it in photos and videos. I also received a lot of T-shirts and commemorative goods, which was great. If I had to say something, it would have been nice to speak more English, and it would have been even better if they had reminded me to face the camera more during the video shoot, haha. It's a bit selfish, but more than anything, I'm glad I had such an amazing experience, so I highly recommend it, and I strongly want to try skydiving in another location!!!

スカイダイビングの経験としては最高of最高でした！
景色やLocationはGood、Staffの皆様も優しくて、写真にも動画にも残せて、Tシャツも記念Goodsもたくさんもらえてよかったです
強いて言うなら、英語がもっと喋れたらよかったのかもしれませんが、動画撮像の時にカメラの方もっと向くことを声かけしてくれてたら、もっとよかったです笑
わがままですが、でも何よりも最高の経験ができたことがよかったのでおすすめですし、また別の場所でスカイダイビングしたいと強く思えました！！！

Thank you!

I was satisfied to be able to ride a horse alone for two hours. There were times when I felt rushed because the instructions were only in English, but the horse was smart, so I didn't have any problems, haha. The scenery was beautiful!

1人で馬に2時間乗ることができ満足です。
指示が英語のみで焦る時もありますが、馬がお利口なので困ることはありませんでした笑
景色が素敵でした！

Masks, goggles, and helmets were provided for free.

A driver's license is required for the person driving.

I forgot my license, and the staff member drove for me, but it was better to have them drive because they explained various things and pointed out different spots (all in English).

マスク、ゴーグル、ヘルメットは無料で貸してもらえた。

運転する人は、運転免許証は必須。

免許証忘れて、スタッフの人が運転してくれたが、自分で運転するよりも、運転してもらった方が、色々と説明・各スポットを教えてくれて良かった(全て英語だが)。

Horseback riding in the great nature of Hawaii became the best memory! The instructor was very kind and even took photos for us. I was very satisfied! I want to go again!!!

ハワイの大自然の中での乗馬は最高の思い出になりました！
インストラクターの方がとても親切に話しかけてくださり、また写真も撮ってくださいました。
大満足でした！また行きたいです！！！

Tour guides where awesome and the views and scenery where beautiful. However we where disappointed that there wasn’t a lot of more Jurassic park props and scenery. Also didn’t like that we had to wait 3 hours after the tour to head back .

Duration:
Including travel time, you can enjoy about 90 minutes of fishing at a beautiful offshore point overlooking Diamond Head, which takes approximately 3 hours to reach! It was just the right length—not too long, not too short.

Catch:
My wife and I tried fishing together, and we caught four large butterflyfish, close to 30 centimeters, with strong pulls! Unlike the butterflyfish in Japan, these were colorful with pink tails and made a "boo boo" sound. Some people didn’t catch anything at all, but it’s necessary to tweak your fishing technique a bit. The bait is squid, but it’s cut quite roughly, so I recommend tearing it into smaller pieces to use.

Staff Response:
The staff provided thorough instructions on how to handle the fishing rods. They quickly addressed issues like tangled lines with neighboring guests and helped remove caught fish from the hooks. When my wife got seasick, they were always attentive and offered her ginger candy.

Wonderful Service:
You can bring your own food and drinks, including alcohol. Water and light juice are available for free from tanks on board. The caught fish are immediately prepared for you. By the time we returned to port, we all enjoyed the butterflyfish sautéed with delicious seasonings in a large frying pan. As a side note, my wife had recovered from her seasickness by then and was even asking for seconds. (laughs)

所要時間：
およそ3時間でダイヤモンドヘッドを望む美しい沖合いポイントまで移動時間を含めると実質90分ほど船釣りを楽しめます！長過ぎず、短すぎず、程良かったです。
釣果：
妻と二人でトライしましたが引きが強くて30センチ近くの大きなカワハギが4匹釣れました！
日本のカワハギと異なり、カラフルでピンクの尾をしていて、ブーブーと鳴いておりました。
中には全く釣れない人たちもいましたが、釣り方を少し工夫する必要があります。餌はイカですがかなりざっくりカットされているので、少し小さくちぎって、つけるのがお勧めです。
スタッフ対応：
丁寧に釣り竿の扱い方などをレクチャー頂けます。また隣の客と糸が絡まったり、釣れた魚を針から外したりする際に迅速に対応してくださります。妻が船酔いでダウンした際は常に気をかけて下さり、ジンジャーの飴を渡してくれました。
素敵なサービス：
アルコールを含む飲食物を持ち込めます。
船内に水、薄いジュースがタンクから無料で頂けます。釣れた魚は直ぐに捌いて頂けます。帰港までには大きなフライパンで香ばしい調味料と一緒に炒められたカワハギを乗員全員で美味しく頂きました。蛇足ですが、妻はこの頃には船酔いから回復しており、おかわりしてました。笑

Everyone participating was Japanese, so I felt at ease. I participated with my partner horse, Shea, who was so cute. ❤️❤️ Sometimes she would trot a bit, but she listened well and was absolutely adorable. It was the best experience! The guide also spoke to us in broken Japanese, which was fun. The shuttle bus was cold on the way there but hot on the way back. I want to go again!!!!!!!

参加者みんな日本人だから安心馬人間６人で参戦
相棒の馬のシェイが可愛いかった。❤️❤️
時々小走りするけど、ちゃーんと言うこと聞いてくれ、可愛いかった最高でした
ガイドさんもカタコト日本語で話しかけてくれて楽しかった
送迎のバスは行きは寒かったけど帰りは暑かった
また行きたい！！！！！！！

Mr. McCartney, who was very friendly, entertained us greatly. Watching the stars through a high-performance telescope while receiving a lecture was more romantic and mysterious than I had imagined. I was very moved.

The rings of Saturn were clearly visible and looked so cute. The moon was so large that it couldn't fit in the telescope, and the craters were clearly visible, which was very surprising. I was amazed to see so many stars in the Milky Way that I didn't realize were there. I was able to see many stars that are not visible to the naked eye!

The next day, I was able to slowly enjoy the Hawaiian night sky with my child, recalling what I learned during the stargazing event.

I received photos of the stars captured through the telescope via email. It became a wonderful memory.

気さくなマッカートニーさんがとても楽しませてくれました。レクチャーをうけながら高性能望遠鏡で星を眺めるのは想像以上にロマンチックで神秘的。とても感動しました。

土星のリングもくっきり見えてとてもかわいいかったです。月も望遠鏡に収まりきらないほど大きくクレーターもはっきり映っていてとても驚きました。
ミルキーウェイもこんなにたくさん星が集まっているのかとびっくりしました。肉眼では見えない星たちもたくさん見ることができました！

翌日からは星空鑑賞会で教えてもらった事を思い出しながらハワイの夜空を子供とゆっくり楽しめました。

望遠鏡に写った星の写真をメールで送ってもらいました。とてもいい思い出になりました。

Thanks to Susumu's witty guidance, I was able to participate in a fun and safe manner. It's also appreciated that the roads have been improved compared to a few years ago. The water volume at Manua Falls was low, which was disappointing, but the view from Tantalus Lookout was breathtaking. I also enjoyed a delicious acai bowl for lunch. By adding an event that allows for interaction with nature, it became a memorable trip, not just a city walk. However, it's important to be prepared as weather can have an impact.

ススムさんの軽妙なガイドで、楽しくかつ安全に参加出来た。数年前と比べ道が整備されていることも有難い。マヌア滝は水量が少なく残念だったが、タンタラス丘からの眺めは圧巻。昼食のアサイーボウルも美味しくいただいた。街歩きだけでなく、自然と触れるイベントを加えたことで、思い出に残る旅となった。ただ、天候に影響されることがあるので、準備しておくことが必要。

Just an FYI, wear hiking clothes or clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. And if your clothes end up dirty, trust the memories are soo worth it. Paulo and Leighton were great!

My husband and I did the ATV 2 hour ride / tour and it was amazing! It was so much fun to ride in the ATV and the views are incredible! It’s definitely a must when you come to O’ahu. You do get very dirty, so make sure you were clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Our guides, Dani and Laura, were awesome. I love that they not only told us about all the filming locations and but they taught us things about the Hawaiian culture and the meaning of things. It was such a cool experience and it made me fall in love with the culture even more.

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。
