All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I was able to see a beautiful view on the flight! The glider took off pretty quickly, but the flight overall was calmer than I expected. The pilot was so kind and professional. I really wish I can return to try the aerobatic ride. Thank you so much for a great experience!

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。

Best Fun Ever, great guides, laughed, great scenery.

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。
トレッキング中はガイドのだいすけさんが色々な説明をしてくれてとても良かったです。ガイドさん無しだと歩いて終わりで楽しさもそこそこだったと思います。最近の雨量が少なかったそうで滝は残念ながら水量が少なめでしたが、ジャングルの中のトレッキングはとても楽しめました。
道が結構ゴツゴツしていてぬかるみも多く歩きにくいので、ステッキを貸してもらうことをお勧めします。虫除けスプレーも貸してもらえました。

The shuttle driver was polite, and especially the local staff were very courteous, responding kindly even without speaking English, using gestures to communicate effectively.

送迎のドライバーも丁寧でしたし、特に現地のスタッフがすごく丁寧で英語が喋れなくても身振りで丁寧に対応してくれました。

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.

娘に誘われての参加でした！　放し飼いの馬に乗ることに、不安もありましたが、乗る前には､日本語での注意点など、ビデオ説明もありました。　2人ペアで、6人の、グループに、2人インストラクターの方が付き、体験中は、時折､声を掛けて下さり、それも片言ですが日本語で！　わたしが乗ったお馬さんは、わたしに合ったベテランのお馬だったようで、とても慎重で、安心して乗る事が出来、とても楽しめた2時間でした。

Course is so awesome and great maintained! Would do again

First and foremost very welcoming, definitely worth the price. My main tour guide Mason was the best ever as well as our safteys Megan and Ben. I was entertaining as can be. And the other people in my group were so nice. Great time would definitely recommend.

It was fun and interesting! The employees are great and really added to the experience with their information and humor! We will definitely go back and will recommend to family, friends and anybody visiting Kauai!

The staff were friendly, and they took several photos for us. Everything was in English, so I thought I should have brought a translation device since I didn't understand English, but the scenery was very beautiful. For some reason, we couldn't go to Jurassic World, but I'm glad we were able to go on our honeymoon.

フレンドリーなスタッフさんで、写真も何枚か取ってもらえました。全部英語なので、英語がわからなかったので、翻訳機持っていけばよかったと思いましたが、景色がとてもきれいでした。ジュラシックワールドはなぜか行けなかったのですが、ハネムーンで行けてよかったです。

I was a bit anxious about the explanations in English, but I was able to understand through the atmosphere. The electric bicycle takes a little getting used to, but it's comfortable.

英語での解説に不安がありましたが、雰囲気で理解することができました。電動自転車は慣れるまでに少し苦労しますが快適です。

It was the main purpose of this trip. It exceeded my expectations. The guide was really kind and entertaining, and we had the best drive. I will definitely go again.

今回の一番の目的でした。期待以上でした。
案内のガイドさんが本当に親切で面白く、最高のドライブができました。必ずまた行きます。

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.

アシスト付きマウンテンバイクはアシストがスゴイ！坂道も座ったままで楽々登ります。
大自然の中をマウンテンバイクで駆け抜ける爽快さは格別。また、フォトスポットでは、適度な時間を取ってくれて適度に休憩も取れます。
使用する自転車は、Trek Railで大きさはS.M.Lの3種類あります。

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。

It was my first time horseback riding, and the scenery was beautiful, making it a very enjoyable memory! Also, since it was quite a distance from Waikiki, I was really glad I used the shuttle service!

人生初めての乗馬でしたが景色も良くとても楽しい思い出になりました♪
また、ワイキキからは大分距離があるため送迎を使って本当に良かったと思いました！

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。

送迎バスの到着後にバウチャーの引き渡し→待機→体験→待機→帰りのバスに乗車の流れで、基本的には英語でのやりとりとなりますが、難しい対応はないので困ることはありません。

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.

人生初めてのハワイに一人旅をしにきて
目的の一つでもあったスカイダイビングを予約しました。

レンタカーも借りてなかったので
送迎付きが決め手のポイントになりました。

迎えにきてくれた男性は日本語が上手で
現地に向かうまでハワイの歴史やおすすめスポットなど教えてくれて１時間ぐらい案内のドライブみたいでたのしかったです！

現地についてからは日本語が通じる方がいなかったので
迎えにきてくれた男性に通訳してもらい助かりました。

様々な決まりや天候の関係などで
少し待ち時間はありましたが
説明を受けたあとすぐに上空へ向かい
スカイダイビングしました！

怖いとか考えてる前に
ぽんぽん飛び込んでいく感じなので
怖さを感じてる暇なくあっというまでした！

景色もすごく綺麗で
飛んだ人にしか見れない景色ですが
ほんとに飛んでよかったです！


最高すぎて終わっても
ずっと笑顔でいれました！

ハワイに来たのならぜひやって欲しいです！

今回は写真と動画をインストラクターさんが撮ってくれるコースにしたんですが
ちゃんと編集してくれた動画と、かなりの枚数の写真が送られてきます。
お値段相応ぐらいしっかりしてるので
予算がある方はぜひ！

あとは
ドライバーさんに10$程度
インストラクターさんに20〜30＄程度の
チップが必要なので用意しておくほうがいいです。

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.

ﾄﾞﾗｲﾊﾞｰの方はとてもゆかいで為になる話をして下さり、道中は楽しかったです。
ﾄﾞｰﾙは以前来た時とはにぎわいがなく、ﾊﾟｲﾝｱｲｽはｶｰﾄﾞ使えず、現金持参が必要です。
乗馬は先にﾄﾞﾗｲﾊﾞｰさんが日本語で説明してくださったので、安心して乗ることができました。途中写真を係の方が撮ってくれるので、ｽﾏﾎ持参を。
乗馬ｸﾗﾌﾞにはは一つしかなく、綺麗とは言えないので、お手拭き等持参することをお勧めします。
ﾊﾚｲﾜ散策はあっという間なので、ﾗﾝﾁは予約注文ﾄﾞﾗｲﾊﾞｰさんに頼む方がいいかもです。食べて、ｼｪｲﾌﾞｱｲｽ並ぶのに混むので、青木の方がいいかもしれません。時間もう少しあったら、良かったと。

Our guides were amazing and so fun. The tour was beautiful.

The horse was very cute, and the view while riding was amazing, offering a panoramic view of the Big Island of Hawaii. It became an unforgettable experience.

お馬ちゃんがとっても可愛くて、乗馬中の景色もハワイ島が一望できて最高でした。忘れられない体験になりました。

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!

I went with a group that barely understood English, but we managed to communicate using Google Translate and gestures, and we took on our first skydiving experience. The wait time before boarding was a bit long, but the skydiving itself was amazing with beautiful scenery. The moment we jumped out of the plane was truly exhilarating.

一緒に行ったメンバー含めほぼ英語は分かりませんでしたがGoogle翻訳とジェスチャーでなんとか理解し、初スカイダイビングに挑戦。
搭乗するまでの待ち時間は少し長かったですがスカイダイビングは景色もよく最高でした。
飛行機から飛び出す瞬間はとても良かったです。

The tour was amazing. There wasn't one moment of disappointment. Words can't describe how we felt when we saw the entrance to Jurassic Park. Our guide even picked fruit for us.

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！！

When I checked in a little before 9 AM, I was a bit confused because the parking gate was closed, but after checking in, I smoothly rented a helmet, boots, and a jacket, and it didn't take long for the guide to help me choose a horse and get mounted.

Riding along with the guide across the vast grounds during lunch was very refreshing. My horse was Oliver, who had stylish striped hair, and my wife rode Vodka, a chestnut horse; both were great horses.

Along the way, our guide Jessica took some photos for us, and we returned a little after 11 AM, slightly exceeding our scheduled time. It became a wonderful memory.

ちょっと早めの9時過ぎにチェックインした際にパーキングのゲートが閉まっていたので少し戸惑いましたが、受付後はスムーズにヘルメット、ブーツ、上着のレンタルを受けて、ガイドさんに馬を選んでもらって乗り込むところまではすぐでした。
ランチの広大な敷地をガイドに沿って馬と共に進むのはとても爽快でした。
私の馬は立髪がおしゃれにシマシマになったOliver、妻は栗毛のVodka、どちらもいい馬でした
途中ガイドのジェシカが写真を撮ってくれたりして
時間は予定より少し超過して11時過ぎに帰着となりました。
とても良い思い出になりました

I’m not good at English and it was my first time riding, but the 90 minutes flew by. We leisurely trotted through the beautiful grasslands with the best views, and at the end, we picked up the pace for the last 50 meters, which made my backside a bit sore, but it was so much fun! When I looked back, there was a rainbow, which made my heart even lighter. Japanese people don’t have a custom of tipping, but I happily gave about 10%—$10 per person for my family of three.

英語も苦手、乗馬も初めて、だけどアッと言う間の90分でした。
最高の景色の草原をパカパカゆっくり巡って、最後の50メートルを少々スピードを上げて走って多少お尻が痛かったが、とっても楽しかった！
振り返ると虹が出ていて、心が更に晴れました。
日本人はチップを払う風習がありませんが、10％程度の一人10ドル×家族3人分を気持ち良くお渡ししました。

The scenery is, without a doubt, amazing. The mountains, including Diamond Head, are breathtaking when viewed from above, with their unique topography. Photos and videos are taken by helicopter and sold for $85. It was a bit pricey, but I purchased it as a keepsake. I was that satisfied!

景色については言うまでもなく最高です
ダイヤモンドヘッドをはじめとする山々は上から見下ろすと、その独特の地形に驚かされます。
ヘリコプターでは写真や動画を撮られ、それは85ドルで販売されます。
少々高かったですが、記念に購入しました。
それほど満足度が高かったです！

I had a wonderful experience with breathtaking views. The transportation was smooth, the skydiving instructions were clear, and the email correspondence was polite. I would like to use this service again.

最高の景色の中とても感動的な体験ができて楽しかった。
送迎もスムーズでスカイダイビングの説明も分かりやすく、メールなどの対応が丁寧でまた利用してみたいと思います。
