All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

Although it was only an English-speaking guide, we had a great time and were able to enjoy the zip line safely.

On the way there, we ended up on a bus with a group of over 40 people, and our family was separated onto different buses. However, feeling anxious, I negotiated and managed to get us all on the same bus.

英語のガイドのみでしたが、楽しく盛り上げていただいて安全にジップラインを楽しむことができました。

行きのバスで40名以上の団体と一緒になり、家族がバラバラのバスに乗車することになってしまいましたが、不安なので交渉してみたところなんとか一緒にバスに乗ることができました。

I read in a review that the wait time for the shuttle bus is long, so I took an Uber instead. It cost about $50 one way. It was great to get there and back quickly!

It cost $5 to store my luggage in a locker, but they only accepted Visa or MasterCard! Since I only had an American Express card and cash, I consulted with the staff, and they were able to help me.

The scenery was very beautiful, and the horses were adorable, making it an unforgettable experience! Important instructions were given in Japanese, such as "Please go right" and "Kick! Kick!" I would love to experience it again.

送迎バスを利用するとバス待ち時間ぎ長い、とこちらのレビューで読んだので、Uberで行きました。片道50ドルくらいでした。さっと行けて帰られてよかったです！

ロッカーに荷物を預けるのに5ドル必要でしたが、ビザカードかマスターカードのみ！アメックスカードと現金しかなかったため、受付の方に相談したところ、預かってもらえました。

とてもきれいな景色で、馬もかわいくて、忘れられない体験となりました！大切なことは日本語で指示してくれました。「右に行ってください」「蹴って！蹴って！」など。もう一度体験してみたいです。

This was our first zipline experience and it was so much fun!! Thank you to our amazing team that lead our group. They made it much more memorable . I would definitely recommend veltra for your zipline adventure!

Fun day with a delicious meal. The windy roads were not horrible either!

Be prepared to get dusty and dirty, but overall this was our favorite event on Maui!!

A beautiful view from above overlooking the Waikiki city while on a volcano crater!! with a fun delicious ending!! Take this tour you wont regret it.

Nothing beats these views! How we wish we could see them always!

We had a blast!! Easy book and we liked the longer tour through the farm!

It was a perfect day! The plantation was BEAUTIFUL and we learned so much about all the native and non-native agricultural while walking to the next platform. Byron and Monique were amazing and had our family laughing the whole time! Totally making everyone feel at ease. The tips they provided ensuring we got the most out of each ”zip”were a huge help and made the adventure just that much more fun. We would do it all again in a heartbeat!

The zip line experience was excellent! Ages 8-45 in our group all loved it!!
We weren’t sure about the waterfall swim/kayak, the kids said this was their favorite part of the time at Umauma, even better than zip lining!!

Highly recommended for people of almost any age!!

Unfortunately, due to the strong winds from the hurricane, the path to the summit was closed on the day of the visit. However, there was a possibility that if negotiations were successful at the Onizuka Center, the path might be opened, so I went to the Onizuka Center. But the result was... it was indeed not possible.

That said, it was good that I was able to get to Onizuka! The tour fee was refunded later for the portion that I couldn't complete to the summit (not the full amount, but $200 out of $400). Well, we can't win against the forces of nature! This will be a lesson for next time!

運悪くハリケーンの影響で風が強く、当日は頂上への道が閉鎖されたとのこと。
ただ、万が一オニヅカセンターで交渉次第では？道が開けてもらえる可能性もあるということでオニヅカセンターまで行ってきました。
でも、結果は・・・やはりダメでした涙
とはいえ、オニヅカまででもいけたのは良かった！
ツアー代金は、頂上まで行けなかった分、後から返金されましたので(全額ではなく4／5の200ドル）まぁこればっっかり自然の力には勝てないということで仕方ありませんね！
次回の宿題になりましたｗ

The captain is great, we caught a 250lb blue marlin, perfect itinerary When you meet a 250 lb blue marlin and you make a wow sound, it's awesome

Best experience ever!! Thank you gojump. Staff very fun, experienced, and professional

In July, I had an experience. 27 years ago, I flew with my father, and it was an unforgettable experience, so this time I signed up for my daughter as well. On the day of the flight, there were rain clouds, which caused a delay, but while we waited for the weather to improve, we were able to ride in a cart and see various aircraft in the airport, as well as watch takeoffs and landings up close. It was a wonderful experience even before boarding the Cessna. My daughter, who was nervous, was able to enjoy flying the Cessna thanks to the friendly staff, even though she was a bit anxious. The view of Hawaii from the sky was truly beautiful. I will support Hawaii so that we can see that scenery again!

7月に体験をしました。
私自身27年前に父と乗り、忘れられない体験でしたので、今回は娘にもと申込をしました。
当日雨雲が掛かっており、フライトを遅らせる事になったのですが、天候が回復するまでカートに乗せて頂き空港内の色々な機体の説明や離着陸を間近で見ることが出来、セスナ乗車前からとても素晴らしい体験をさせて頂きました。
緊張していた娘ですがフレンドリーなスタッフのおかげでドキドキしながらもセスナの運転を楽しむことが出来ました。
空から見るハワイの景色は本当に綺麗でした。
またあの景色を観れるようにハワイを応援します！

It was my first experience, but the explanations and operations were taught to me very carefully, making it a wonderful experience! I would like to try it again.

初めての体験ですが、説明や操作など丁寧に教えていただいて、とても素敵な経験となりました！また体験したいと思いました。

After five years of waiting due to the opposition to the observatory expansion and COVID-19, I was finally able to participate in the sunset tour. The company advertised having Japanese-speaking guides, but due to the impact of COVID-19, it seems they laid off most of the Japanese guides because there were many domestic (U.S.) users. During my visit, the guide was an American with experience working at a U.S. military base, and aside from casual conversations near the Onizuka Center and confirming the meeting time, everything was in English. The explanations along the way, including stories about Hawaii's only Army training base, were all in English, but even with my limited English knowledge from middle school to university, I understood about half of it. Of course, the meeting time and important notes were explained in Japanese, but I felt the English explanations were sufficient.

For the stargazing, two vehicles were used in the parking lot between the summit and the center, with only two Japanese participants. We were divided into two groups for English and Japanese explanations, and one person who spoke Japanese provided dedicated explanations. The photos taken during that time, as well as the best photos that the guide had likely taken previously, were received directly through the Aiphone communication feature. Previously, we would receive them later via the website, but with Aiphone, we could do it on the spot by pairing our phones. It seems that those using phones with OS like Samsung might not know how to do this, so I wonder what they do? After returning to the meeting place and dispersing, I was given a ride to a nearby hotel. I was spared a 20-minute walk at night, but this was only because everyone else returned to their cars from the meeting place or were from nearby hotels, so it was just a coincidence that I got a ride. I heard that if Japanese tourists return, Japanese tours might resume.

The tour itself was fantastic, just like everyone else's experience, but I have two final points. The emergency toilet near the summit is very dirty, so it's better not to use it. Let's use the facilities at the Onizuka Center instead, as we will stop there after stargazing, which should take about three hours. Lastly, remember to give a tip when you get off the vehicle. A few years ago, during my first visit (at the time of the "B-class Gourmet Tour"), I completely forgot to tip because it was an all-Japanese tour, and that experience still gives me a bit of trauma. This time, I prepared three levels of tips in my pouch according to my satisfaction and handed them out at the end. If the explanations had been given in both English and Japanese twice, I would have given 20%, but this time I gave about 15%.

　天文台増設反対の封鎖とコロナ等で5年越しでサンセットツアーに参加できました。同社は日本語ガイドがあるのが売りでしたが、コロナの影響で景気のいい国内(米国)利用者が多くなったので、日系人のガイドをほとんどレイオフ?したみたいです。今回利用時は、在日米軍基地勤務経験がある米国人ガイドさんでしたが、オニヅカセンターや展望台付近の雑談や集合時間の確認以外はすべて英語でした。途中の説明は、ハワイ唯一の陸軍訓練基地の話など英語オンリーでの説明でしたが、特に英語は中学から大学までの勉強でしかしたことない私でも、半分くらいは分かりました。もちろん、集合時間、注意事項等は日本語で説明してくれましたが、先の英語の説明で十分わかりました。また、天体観測は、2台の車が、山頂からセンターの間の駐車場で行いましたが、日本人は２人だけで、英語と日本語の説明の二つのグループに分かれましたが、日本語が話せる1人が専属で説明してくれました。その時撮った写真や、以前ガイドさんが撮ったと思われるベストな写真は、Aiphoneの通信機能でそのまま受け取りました。以前は後日ホームページでの受け取りでしたが、Aiphoneだとその場で携帯付き合わせてできます。サムスン等のOSを使った携帯はやり方がわからないみたいなのでどうするんでしょう?集合場所に戻り解散してから近くのホテルまで送ってもらいました。夜道を20分ほど歩かなくて済みましたが、あくまで、他の方が全員集合場所から各自が車で帰ったり、直近のホテルの方だったので、たまたま、送ってもらうことが出来ました。日本人がまた戻ってきたら日本語ツアーが再開されるかもとのことです。ツアーの素晴らしさは申し分なく他の方と同じですが、最後に2点。山頂付近の緊急用トイレは非常に汚いので使用しない方が良いです。オニヅカセンターで済ませましょう。天体観測後にも寄るので、しょうみ3時間くらいでしょうか。最後にチップは降車時に渡しますので忘れないようにしましょう。私は、数年前、最初の利用の時(当時の「B級グルメツアー」)、完全に日本人だけのツアーでその快適さから錯覚してチップ忘れたことがあり、今も少しトラウマになっています。今回も満足度に合わせて3段階のチップをポーチに用意して、最後に渡しました。途中の説明が英語と日本語で2回してくれたなら20％渡したと思いますが、今回は約15％程度としました。

I was saddened by the lack of English explanations due to my limited English skills. Japanese tourists are gradually returning to pre-COVID levels, and I hope they can implement Japanese guided tours at least once a day or at least every other day. The guide was friendly and took photos for us, and it felt great to drive through the beautiful land of Kualoa for two hours. I thought it would be even more enjoyable if I understood the movie explanations. We only passed by the giant fallen tree from Jurassic Park, while other tourists were taking photos, but we just walked by. When I asked the guide at the next stop why we didn't stop there, he said that this tour does not stop at that location. If that's the case, it's misleading to have that photo included in the tour description.

Also, when booking the shuttle tour, it's important to try various start times to find one that suits you, or you will waste a lot of time at Kualoa. We had a 10:30 AM start for the buggy tour, and our pickup in Waikiki was at 8:15 AM. We arrived at Kualoa around 9:15 AM, listened to the Japanese guide, watched a Japanese video, and then hurried to buy souvenirs before the tour started. The lockers were broken (it seems to always be that way), so we had to protect our souvenirs with eco-bags as much as possible and placed them at our feet in the buggy, but the eco-bags ended up covered in dust.

After finishing the buggy tour at 12:30 PM, I bought photos from the vendor and went to the restroom, only to find it was already time for the return bus. I had brought a change of clothes, but there was no time to change, and I returned to the hotel covered in dust. By the way, most men were wearing shorts. Sunglasses were available for rent, and they gave us a neck holder (to wear around the neck and cover the nose).

全て英語の説明で英語力のなさが悲しかったです。
日本人観光客もコロナ前に戻りつつあり、１日に一回、せめて２日に一回、日本語ガイドツアーを実施して欲しいです。
ガイドさんはフレンドリーで写真も撮って下さるし、クアロアの大地を２時間走るのは気持ち良く、映画の説明がわかったらもっと楽しいだろうと思いました。
ジュラシックパークの巨大倒木は近くを通るだけで、観光客が写真を撮っていたのに私達は素通り。
次の停止ポイントで、ガイドさんになぜさっき止まらなかったか聞いたら、このツアーはあそこには止まらない、とのこと。だったら、このツアーにあの写真が載ってるのは間違いです。
あと、送迎ツアーを申し込む時は、開始時間を色々入力してみて自分に合った時間にしないとクアロアでタイムロスが多くなります。私たちは10時30分スタートのバギーでワイキキピックアップは8時15分でした。クアロアに9時15分頃着いて、日本語ガイドさんから話を聞いて、日本語ビデオを見て、その後、開始までの時間に急いでお土産を購入。ロッカーが故障してたので、（どうもいつもそんな感じみたい）お土産を出来る限り持参のエコバッグなどで守って、バギーの足元に置いて出発しましたが、エコバッグはホコリまみれになりました。
12時30分にバギー終了後は、業者さんの写真を買ってトイレに行ったらもう帰りのバスの時間でした。
着替えを持って行ってましたが、着替える時間はなく埃まみれのまま、ホテルに帰りました。
ちなみに男性は半パンの方ばかりです。
サングラスは貸し出しあり、ネックホルダー（首にはめて、鼻まで覆う）プレゼント。

You can experience something that you can only taste here! I participated alone, but since it was a group tour, I had a lot of fun blending in with the others. Every view was breathtaking, and I'm really glad I went!!! It seems there are also buggies and horseback riding, but even this bus was a really interesting and thrilling ride, so definitely give it a try!

絶対にここでしか味わえない体験ができます！
私ひとりで参加しましたが、グループツアーなので
周りの方に紛れてすごく楽しめました。
どこをどう切り取っても絶景ばかりで本当に
行って本当によかったです！！！
バギーや乗馬もあるみたいですが、このバスさえも
すごく面白く迫力のある乗り物だったので
ぜひとも、行ってみてください！

This is a great experience. They have improved it a lot. It was better than when we did it in 2013. Our guide Jordan was very personable and knowledgeable.

This is a place I want you to visit when you come to Hawaii.
We chose the buggy.
The price is high, but it's a facility you can only experience here.
There are also bus tours and horseback riding tours.
Next time, I want to participate in a different tour.

ハワイ来たら訪れてもらいたい場所です
私たちは、バギーをチョイス
金額は高いけど、ここでしか体験できない施設なので
ほかにもバスツアーや乗馬ツアーがあり
次回は、違うツアーに参加したいですね

I participated in a tour with a four-wheeler! I was very satisfied with the opportunity to enjoy the nature of Kualoa.

Since the buggies kick up a lot of dust, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty! Be careful as your hair can get quite tangled afterward.

It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't stop at the spot where the Jurassic Park sign and fallen tree scene are, but we were able to pass by it. Overall, I had a great time!

四輪バギーでツアー参加しました！
クアロアの自然を満喫できて大変満足しました。

バギーは砂埃がすごいので汚れてもいい服での参加をお勧めします！！終わった後は髪もギシギシになるので要注意です

ジュラシックパークの看板と木が横たわっているシーンの再現があるところで停車できなかったのだけ残念ではありましたが側を通ってみることはできました。
しかし、全体的にはとても楽しめて良かったです！

This tour was fantastic! Our tour guide Georgie was so knowledgeable and made the UTV tour so much fun!
Great adventure tour for those who like to really explore. You can tell this company is passionate about what they do! Best tour on the island by people who live and breathe it!

During the activity, the staff took photos for us, but when I received them via email, the image quality was poor, making it difficult to recognize faces, which was disappointing. Maybe it was because I was using an Android? However, after returning to my home country, I received high-quality photos.

At first, it felt like we were walking among the trees, which made the time seem a bit long, but once we reached the area where we could see the ocean, the scenery was beautiful and refreshing. The footprints of Godzilla and the canyon from Jurassic Park were particularly impressive. I could see a line of 4WD vehicles from other tours, which looked just like a scene from the Jurassic movie.

For safety reasons, video recording was not allowed, but taking photos was fine. We were allowed to bring about two small bags. Larger items should be stored in lockers or the vehicle. It might be good to have a small bottle of water with you.

After returning to Japan, I really wanted high-quality photos from the tour, so I emailed the contact who had reached out right after the tour and asked if they could send me higher quality photos as attachments. They sent them right away, which truly impressed me.

アクティビティの途中でスタッフの方が写真をとってくれますが、メールで受け取ったら画像の画素数が悪く、顔の判別が不可能な感じでがっかりでした。アンドロイドだからかな？でも、帰国後に高画質の写真をいただけました。

最初は木々のなかをいく感じでちょっと時間を長く感じましたが、海がみえるあたりから景色がとてもよくて気持ちよかったです。ゴジラの足跡、ジュラシックパークの渓谷。
　特に他のツアーの４WDの車列がみえ、それが、あのジュラシックの映画のワンシーンのようです。
　安全のためビデオ撮影は不可で、写真は大丈夫でした。荷物はポシェット２つ分くらい持ち込み可能でした。大きな荷物はロッカーか車にしまっていきましょう。小さな水があるといいかも。

日本に帰国後、やっぱり高画質のツアー中の写真がほしくてツアー直後にメールをくれた先にメールでもっと高画質の写真でメールに添付してほしいとお願いしたら、すぐに送ってくれました。これには本当に感激しました。

I thought the first zip line would be the most challenging, but the staff worked hard to keep everyone excited, and we had a great time. Crossing the small suspension bridge along the way was probably the funniest part! The transportation to Waikiki was also comfortable.

最初のジップラインに行く時が一番大変だと思ったがみんなを盛り上げようと頑張っているスタッフさんと楽しく行けました。
途中の小さな吊り橋を渡る時、凄く笑わせてくれたところが一番楽しかったかもしれないけど？!
ワイキキまでの送迎もあり快適でした。

Our tour guide Addison was awesome. Excellent in setting tour expectations and safety guidelines from the start. His knowledge of Hawaiian history, culture, volcanology, and astronomy was impressive. VIP treatment. Don’t miss this tour on your visit to the Big Island.

Thanks Addison and team.

Our guide, Patrick, did a great job making this interesting and fun. Learned a lot about Kauai plants, land, water, and history! The bamboo forest and waterfall were amazing. Going under and behind the waterfall was an experience to remember.

I used the service in late July. A shuttle bus labeled with the scenery of Kualoa Ranch came to pick us up at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel. There were no other Japanese people besides my family.

The transfer took about an hour, and as I had been informed beforehand, the entire briefing was in English. We managed to understand the meeting time and place through gestures and the paper we were given.

We watched a pre-briefing DVD, but since it was in English, we watched the Japanese dubbed version on a separate TV.

I thought it was just a buggy tour, but we stopped at various points, including famous movie filming locations and stunning viewpoints, where the staff took photos for us. My wife and two daughters were very satisfied!

The dust was indeed quite something. Some Americans were dressed casually in T-shirts, shorts, and sandals, but I was glad I participated in athletic wear.

It was a very real and priceless experience that you can't enjoy at USJ or Disneyland!

７月下旬に利用させてもらいました。シェラトンワイキキホテルまで、クアロアランチの風景がラベリングされた送迎バスが来てくれました。日本人は我がファミリー以外はゼロだったです。
移動は一時間ほどで到着し、事前には聞いてましたが終始英語でのレクチャー。何となくジェスチャーと渡された紙で集合時間と場所を把握します。
事前レクのDVDを見ますが、英語なので自分たちは日本語吹替版を別ＴＶで見ました。
ひたすらバギーツアーだけだと思ってましたが、ところどころで停車して、有名な映画のロケ場所だったり、絶景スポットでスタッフの方が写真を取ってくださり、妻も娘二人も大満足でした！
砂埃はやはりすごいのです。アメリカの方はTシャツ短パンサンダルのラフな格好の方もいましたが、私は運動着で参加して正解でした。
USJやディズニーランドでは味わえない、とっってもリアルでプライスレスな体験ができました！！

When I rode, there were seven buggies lined up, and we stopped about five or six times at scenic points for photo opportunities. The mountains and the sea were magnificent, providing a rare experience that you can't have in Japan.

I went with my wife, our children (a college student and a high school student), and my 69-year-old mother-in-law, and everyone enjoyed it.

The road is quite steep and bumpy, so it might be tough for those who are not used to driving. If you're not confident, you can have an instructor drive for you.

Since my buggy was seventh in line, there was a lot of dust, and my clothes ended up completely white while my face turned black, so be prepared for that. After the tour, you can wash your face and hands at a water station. I recommend wearing the goggles and the neck warmer-like cloth they provide as a mask during the tour.

私が乗った時は7台のバギーが連なって走り、途中の絶景ポイントで5、6回程下車して写真タイムがありました。山も海もとても雄大で、日本では味わうことができない貴重な体験ができました。
妻、子供（大学生と高校生）、69歳の義母と5人で乗りましたが、全員楽しめました。
道は結構な急勾配の凸凹道なので、運転に不慣れな人には厳しいかもしれません。自信がない人はインストラクターの人に運転してもらえます。
私の車の順番が7番目だったためか、砂埃が凄くて、服は真っ白、顔は黒くなるので覚悟はしておいてください。ツアーが終わると水道で顔や手を洗えます。ツアー中に貸してくれるゴーグル、マスク代わりに貰えるネックウォーマーみたいな布はきっちり着用することをオススメします。

I have always wanted to try this, so I had been on simulation machines and even tried paragliding. However, due to my daughter's unexpected pregnancy, I ended up participating in the Hawaii trip alone instead of with her. I thought I would try something that I definitely couldn't do with a pregnant woman. Communicating in English? Hmm, I can manage to understand a bit. I figured I should just memorize the life-threatening words and joined solo (I’m quite the brave mom). Since I would want photos anyway, I made a reservation thinking I would jump from the sky in Hawaii, not from the stage at Kiyomizu Temple, and it was worth every penny—GO JUMP was amazing!

On the Cessna, there were five of us: a Japanese person, a family of three, and a young man who was on his honeymoon and was the only one to try it. We encouraged each other as the altitude kept rising, and I thought, "This looks like the view from a jet's small window!" I was both nervous and excited, and the high-energy instructor captured all our expressions perfectly. I thought it would be really scary, but before I knew it, I was PUSHed out and flying.

After that, I just enjoyed the incredible scenery, feeling like a bird, repeatedly saying "Amazing! Beautiful! The best!" in both Japanese and English, with clouds, the sea, and mountains beneath me! The moment the parachute opened and the spin before landing felt cooler than diving, but with the handsome instructor who does 5 to 10 jumps a day, I had no worries at all. I hate the feeling of a vertical drop attraction, but this was nothing like that. I struggled with ear pressure and my right ear became hard to hear, but it was fine after a night's sleep.

In the car on the way back, a man who said he had jumped yesterday exclaimed, "NOT FALL, FLY!" and he was absolutely right. It's not cheap, but I guarantee it's worth every penny. Thank you to all the staff for the amazing experience!

ずっと昔から一度やってみたくて、シミュレーションの機械に乗ってみたり、パラグライダー体験をいっちょかみしてみたりしていましたが、一緒に旅行する予定だった娘の急な妊娠で、急遽1人で参加することになったハワイ旅行だったので、妊婦を連れては絶対に出来ないことをしようと思ってトライしました。英語でコミニュケーション？うーん何とか聞き取れるか。命に関わる単語だけ覚え直しといたらええか、てな感じで単独参加（我ながら肝っ玉母ちゃん）。どうせ写真欲しくなるしな、清水の舞台じゃなくてハワイの空から飛び降りるつもりで予約しましたが、お値段以上GO JUMP、最高でした。セスナ同乗した日本人は私と、娘さんと3人のご家族、新婚旅行で新郎だけ挑戦した若者の計5名で励まし合いながら高度がどんどん上がり、こんなんジェット機から小さい窓で見る景色やん！と思いながら、ビビったりワクワクしたりの全ての表情をハイテンションのインストラクターがバッチリ撮影してくれてました。絶対怖いよな〜と思ってましたが、そんなん言う暇なくPUSHされて飛び出してました。
あとはもう、最高の景色と鳥の心になってひたすら「スゴイ！キレイ！最高！」と日本語と英語で繰り返し、雲も海も山も足下にある感覚！パラシュート開く時と、着地前の回旋がダイビングより冷やっとしたけど、多い時は1日5〜10回はJUMPするというイケメンインストラクターの優しくオモロいタンデムで何の不安もありませんでした。垂直落下アトラクションの内蔵が残る感覚は大嫌いだけど、これは全くありません。耳抜き下手くそで右耳が聞こえにくくなってしまったけど、一晩寝たら治りました。
迎えの車の中で昨日も飛んだと言う男性「NOT FALL, FLY!」と言うてはったけど、ホンマにその通りでした。安くはないけど、それだけの価値は絶対にあると保証します。
スタッフの皆様、最高の体験を有り難うございました‼︎

They provided gentle support for beginners who experience issues like tangled fishing lines, difficulty attaching bait, or removing hooks from caught fish. They cheered when they spotted sea turtles and dolphins.

釣り糸が絡まったり、餌がうまく付けられない、釣った魚から針をはずせない、など釣りの初心者が体験する際にも優しくサポートしてくれました。
海亀や、イルカなどを見かけては歓声を上げていました。
