All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

There were three of us participating, and the rest were about 25 foreign guests. We were lucky to have two guides, and one Japanese guide was assigned to our group of three, providing detailed explanations on various topics. The ground was wet and uneven, so it was necessary to take precautions against slipping. I think it's best to be prepared for muddy shoes as well. The path to the waterfall features various plants and power spots, so it was never boring.

On the way back, we received sandwiches and were taken directly to Tantalus Lookout for lunch. It was a beautiful hill with a great view of Diamond Head and Waikiki, and it felt wonderful to be there.

私達３人で参加しました、他は全て２５人程は外国人の方々でした。
ガイドさんが二人付いてくれてて、一人の日本人ガイドさんが３人に付いてくれたのでとてもラッキーで細かい事まで丁寧に説明してもらえました。
足下は湿ってて足がゴロゴロしてるので、滑らない工夫が必要です。泥で靴も汚れますので覚悟してたほうがいいと思います、滝までの道のりは色々な植物やパワースポットがあり飽きません。
帰りにサンドイッチを受け取りそのままタンタラスの丘まで連れて行ってもらい昼食でした、ダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキが見渡せるとても見晴らしのキレイな丘で気持ち良かったです。

I have had a dream of becoming a pilot since I was a child, and it finally came true in Hawaii! I was allowed to take the controls during takeoff, which was an incredibly valuable experience! The scenery was amazing, and it became a honeymoon that I will always remember! Since it was our honeymoon, there were various surprises, and the service was excellent. Thank you very much!

子供の頃からパイロットになりたいという一つの夢がありましたが、それが念願のハワイで叶いました！
離陸から握らせてもらえて、とても貴重な体験をさせていただきました！
景色も最高で、いつまでも思い出に残る新婚旅行になりました！
新婚旅行ということでサプライズも色々としてもらいとてもサービスが良いです。
本当にありがとうございました！

Everyone was very polite and responded in Japanese, which made me feel at ease during the flight experience. The pilot was kind and gave lots of compliments, so I was able to enjoy the experience without feeling nervous. The views of Oahu, the sky, and the ocean from the ground were all beautiful, and I truly felt that coming to Hawaii was worth it. Thank you for a memorable experience that will last a lifetime.

みなさんとても丁寧に日本語で対応していただき、安心してフライトの体験ができました。
パイロットも優しくたくさん褒めてくださるので、緊張することなく、とても楽しく素晴らしい体験になりました。
地上から観るオアフ島、空、海の全てが美しく、ハワイまで来て良かったと心から思いました。
一生の思い出に残る経験をありがとうございました。

OMG not even sure how to translate to words the experience on this tour

everything went smooth since the pick up, the tour guide assigned to us has so much knowledge about the culture, and the places.

you get a meal which is delicious to start the day, the the views from the sunset never in my life had experience something like that

then the cherry on top the stars, this was a life experience like never before you can see even the space station crusing the skies.

do not hesitate on talking this tour you wont regret it

I participated in the Haleakalā sunset and stargazing tour in June. I was thoroughly entertained by the guide, Yamapi, whose explanations I had seen in the media. The sea of clouds, sunset, and starry sky at Haleakalā were more beautiful than anything I had ever seen before. Additionally, the local food I was recommended to buy along the way was so delicious that I ended up going back for more during my trip. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Maui.

6月にハレアカラのサンセット＆星空ツアーに参加しました。メディアでの解説を拝見していた山ぴーさんのガイドで終始楽しませていただきました。
ハレアカラ山の雲海、サンセット、そして星空は今までに見た事のない美しさでした。
また、勧めていただいて途中で買ったローカルフードも美味しくて、旅行中にまた買いに行ってしまったほどでした。
マウイ島にいらっしゃる方は、参加されるのぜひおすすめしたいです。

We drove up the mountain, and it felt like an attraction with all the bumps. Also, the view when we got out of the car and climbed a little further up the mountain was magnificent, and I was very satisfied.

車で山を駆け上がりますが、アトラクションのように揺れます。
また、車から降りて少しだけ山を上がった時の景色はとても壮大でとても満足しました。

Great experience. Amazing stars and view of the sunset.

Scott and his partner did a great job. Wish they had regular ATVs instead of side by sides.

The scenery was absolutely stunning, and the horses were very well-behaved. It was a fun tour! I booked a horseback riding tour with transportation included.

【Pickup】
We gathered at the front entrance of the hotel next to the one we were staying at at 8:30 AM. The shuttle bus arrived right on time, and we boarded after confirming our names. I had to show my passport, but it was fine to just present one for the person who made the reservation. The bus was freezing cold! Make sure to bring a long-sleeve shirt! After about a 45-minute ride, we arrived.

【Check-in】
We sat on benches with the other passengers from the bus while a staff member from Kualoa Ranch explained things. Since it was in English, I could hardly understand what was being said, haha. When my name was called, I received a ticket (a flimsy piece of paper about the size of A5). It had the details of the tour I booked and the return bus time. After getting the ticket, we moved to another area for an explanation about the ranch. The staff directed us, saying things like, "Those going on the buggy tour, gather over there!" and "Those on the movie location tour, gather over there!" We received explanations about the meeting places, times, and locations of souvenir shops and cafes. I understood bits and pieces of the words, and then we dispersed until it was time.

【Lockers】
Participants in the horseback riding tour can only bring their smartphones as cameras and minimal belongings; everything else should be stored in lockers. There are plenty of lockers available. They have Japanese support, so I think operating them won't be a problem. It's $5 for the day, and you can open and close them freely!

【Restroom】
I prepared myself for dirty restrooms since it was overseas and at a ranch, but I was pleasantly surprised by how clean they were! The outdoor unisex portable toilets were spacious and completely usable! That was a relief! I recommend using the restroom at the souvenir shop area for water.

【Horseback Riding Tour】
Since we had two hours until our scheduled time, we relaxed in the shade. I wasn't hungry yet and felt a bit sleepy, so I dozed off until it was time. We went to the horseback riding check-in 15 minutes early and signed a consent form. I signed my name in English as it appeared on my passport on a green piece of paper, along with my age in kanji. After that, we watched a short instructional video about horseback riding in Japanese. I put on the helmet I was given. The sizes of helmets for Japanese and foreigners are different, haha. As long as it fits, it was okay, so I ended up wearing a strangely sized helmet, haha. They gave us a small pouch to attach to the saddle, where we could put our cameras and such. By the way, during the instructional video, they said video recording was prohibited, but a Japanese staff member happened to be there and said, "That video is old; it says no recording because big video cameras are dangerous, but small ones like GoPros or phone cameras are fine." Thanks to that, I was able to capture a lot of videos!

Once you get on the horse, you won't get off until you return. We toured the filming locations, but there weren't any detailed explanations; we just understood where we were by looking at the signs. However, the views were breathtaking everywhere, and just riding a horse through such scenery (even though the horses were smart enough to follow the route on their own, haha) was incredibly enjoyable. My horse and my companion's horse kept munching on grass, though, haha.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed, and just as my backside started to hurt, the tour ended. It was so much fun!

【Return Bus】
We had about two hours until the return bus. I was getting hungry, so I had a classic burger, and my companion had loco moco. It was delicious!

For the return bus, we waited outside the cafe where we were instructed when we arrived. As the time approached, people started gathering, and we were called to board. However, whe

景色が最高によくてお馬さんもお利口で、楽しいツアーでした！
送迎付きの乗馬ツアーを予約しました。

【お迎え】
朝8:30に宿泊していたホテルの隣のホテルの正面玄関に集合しました。
時間ぴったりにお迎えのバスが来て、名前の確認をして乗り込みます。
その際パスポートを提示しました。
ツアーを予約した代表者一名分で大丈夫です。
バスの中はすっごい寒いです！長袖持参必須！！
45分程度走って到着しました。

【チェックイン】
乗ってきたバスの乗客の皆さんと共にベンチへ座り、クアロア牧場のスタッフの方が説明をしてくれます。英語なので何を言ってるかほとんどわかりませんでした笑
名前を呼ばれてチケット（という名のA5くらいのペラい紙）を渡されます。
予約したツアーと帰りのバスの時間が書かれています。
チケットをもらったら場所を移動して、牧場の説明を受けます。
バギーの人〜！その人たちはあっちに集合。映画ロケ地巡りツアーの人〜！あなた達はあっちに集合。と、説明されていきます。
集合場所と時間とその他のお土産屋さんやカフェの場所など説明を受けました。単語単語だけなんとなく理解したところで時間まで解散。

【ロッカー】
乗馬ツアーに参加する人はカメラがわりのスマホと最小限の荷物だけを持って他はロッカーにしまいます。
ロッカーはたくさんあります。
日本語対応しているので操作は問題ないと思います。
1日5ドルで開け閉め自由です！

【トイレ】
海外…しかも牧場…
トイレが汚いのを覚悟して行きましたが、拍子抜けするぐらい綺麗でした！
特に外のユニセックスの仮設トイレ？みたいなところは広々としていて、全然問題なく使えました！
助かった！
水道はお土産屋さんのところのトイレを利用するといいと思います。

【乗馬ツアー】
予約時間まで2時間あったので日陰でのんびり待ってました。
お腹もまだ空いていないし、眠たいしでうとうとしている間に時間が来ました。
15分前に乗馬の受付に行き、同意書にサインします。
緑色の紙にパスポートの英語表記の名前、年齢、漢字でサインをしました。
その後日本語で乗馬の簡単なレッスンのビデオを見ました。
渡されたヘルメットを被ります。
日本人の頭と外国の方の頭はサイズが違うので…笑
とりあえず被れればOKということで変なサイズのヘルメットを被りました笑
鞍のツノにつけられる小物入れを渡されますので、その中にカメラなどを入れます。
ちなみに、乗馬の説明ビデオの中でビデオ撮影は禁止、と言われますが日本人スタッフの方がたまたまいて、「あれは古い映像だからビデオの機械が大きいと危ないからダメって言ってるけど、最近の小さいGoProとか携帯のカメラならビデオOK」と言われました。おかげさまでたくさん動画も残せました！

一度馬に乗ったら戻ってくるまで降りることはありません。
ロケ地を巡りますが特に詳しい説明などはなく、立て看板を見てなるほどここがジュラシックワールドのロケ地ね、などと勝手に理解していくタイプです。
ただ、どこをとっても絶景なのでそんな中を自らが操る馬に乗って（といっても馬達はお利口なのでただ乗ってるだけでルートを進んでくれます笑）巡るだけでも十分楽しいと思います。
私と同行者の馬はめちゃくちゃ道草を食べましたが（笑）

あっという間に2時間が経ち、そろそろお尻も痛くなってきた頃ツアーも終わります。
とっても楽しかったです！

【帰りのバス】
帰りのバスまでも2時間程度時間がありました。
流石にお腹も空いてきたので、私はクラシックバーガーを。同行者はロコモコを食べました。美味しかったです！

帰りのバスはカフェの外、来た時に説明を受けたあたりで座って待っていると時間になるにつれてぞろぞろと人が集まってきて呼ばれて乗り込むことになります。
ただ、私たちが行った時は3台のバスが並べられて、どこどこ行きの人はこのバス！どこどこ行きの人はこのバス！とスタッフの方が英語で説明するのを聞いて乗り込む事になります。わからなければチケットに書かれた場所をスタッフの方に見せてどのバスに乗ればいいか聞くといいと思います！
帰りは道が混んでいたので1時間と少しかかって朝の集合場所へ戻ってきました。大体16:30ごろ戻ってきたと思います。

日本の乗馬体験では自分で馬を操るというのはなかなか難しいですが、ヘルメット一つの軽装(？)で自分で馬を操って2時間も歩く乗馬体験は海外ならではですね。
とっても楽しい1日になりました！

We participated in a 60-minute flight course for two.

The actual flight course was from Honolulu Airport, around the coast to the east, to Dillingham Airfield, where we landed once to switch pilots, then over the Dole Plantation, making a U-turn over the airfield and back around the coast to the west, returning to Honolulu Airport. It was so much fun to circle Oahu from the sky. We experienced thrilling moments with steep descents and sharp turns under the instructor's control. The instructor spoke English, but the flying wasn't too difficult, so it's not a problem if you don't understand English very well.

Although it was suggested to bring sunglasses, I personally had no issues without them. Since you get quite a lot of wind on your face, I recommend that women tie their hair back.

The owner couple who came to pick us up were Japanese, so we had a nice chat in the car. Initially, we were guided to the office for a briefing, where they provided drinks and snacks, allowing us to have a comfortable time. The restroom was also spacious and clean.

I think this experience is highly recommended for those with a short stay, as you can see almost all the famous spots on Oahu.

2人で60分×2フライトコースに参加しました。

実際の飛行コースは、ホノルル空港→海岸を東周り→ディリンガム飛行場→一度着陸して操縦者交代→ドールプランテーション上空→飛行場上空までUターンして海岸を西周り→ホノルル空港 でした。
空からオアフ島を一周できてとても楽しかったです。
インストラクターの操縦で急降下や急旋回も体験させてもらいスリリングでした笑
インストラクターは英語でしたが、操縦はそこまで難しくなく、英語がほぼわからなくても問題ないです。

持ち物としてサングラスとの記載がありますが、私の場合はサングラスなしでもとくに問題ありませんでした。
かなり顔に風をうけるので女性の方は髪をまとめていくことをオススメします。

送迎に来てくださるオーナー夫妻？は日本人の方だったので、車中でいろいろとお話しさせていただきました。
最初に事務所に案内され講習を受けるのですが、ドリンクやお菓子を用意してくださり快適な時間を過ごすことができました。
トイレも広くてきれいです(^-^)

オアフ島の有名どころをほぼすべて見られるので滞在日数が少ない方にもオススメできると思います。

Had a fantastic time on this tour! Our guides were great - fun and knowledgeable - and made the whole experience worth it! The whole ranch area is absolutely stunning - so picturesque it's hard to know where to look nex whilst trying to concentrate on the path ahead! This quickly became one of our favourite activities and now want an electric bike!!

Gosh I was absolutely amazing! He took us to a more secluded spot to watch the sunset and was very knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend taking this tour!!

Koshi was an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable person. He explained a lot of things during this tour. It was an amazing experience overall and worth visiting it.

Hands down one of the best experiences we’ve had! We were there over Mother’s Day weekend and he was AMAZING… we definitely felt like we made a friend.. he dropped so much knowledge about everything that we couldn’t have been happier to learn what they do there and hand feed the ducks! …Of course the ATV’s were cool and the land beautiful but he truly made our experience what it was and we are so grateful.. thank you!

The stargazing, including the explanation, was great, but the summit was crowded, so we turned back and headed to the observation point. Last time we were able to reach the summit, so I was expecting to do so again this time. There were quite a few breaks along the way, so if you're going to list Haleakalā Summit in the title, please ensure that the schedule allows for a guaranteed ascent.

星空観測は解説も含めてよかったのですが、山頂がいっぱいで引き返して、観測地点に向かいました。前回は山頂に上がれたので、今回も期待していました。途中休憩が結構あったので、タイトルにハレアカラ山頂と記載するのなら、確実に上がれるよう余裕を持ったスケジュールをお願いします。

The whole Family had a great time! Jacob, Griff and Jess were amazing! So much fun.

I had been thinking about going to Kualoa Ranch for a while, and finally went with my mother.

It seems that if you sign up on-site, there are one-hour and two-hour courses available, but this tour was the two-hour course. The two hours flew by in no time. If you're going to do it, I definitely recommend the two-hour course.

You can explore every corner of the vast Kualoa Ranch and fully enjoy Hawaii's magnificent nature. We even got to drive among a herd of cows, which was quite fun.

They provided confirmations before boarding in Japanese, and the guide was friendly, taking videos and photos when we handed over our smartphones. My elderly mother was also thrilled, and it was a fulfilling day! I highly recommend it.

クアロアランチ、いつか行こうと思いつつなんとなく「また今度」になっていましたが、母と参加してきました。
現地申込み？だと１時間コースと２時間コースがあるようですが、こちらのツアーは２時間コース。
あっという間の２時間でした。
せっかくやるなら絶対２時間コースがよいです。
広大なクアロアランチの隅から隅を巡り、ハワイの壮大な自然を満喫できます。
牛の群れの間を走行したりもできました（これがなかなか楽しかった）。

乗車前の確認などは日本語でしてくれ、ガイドさんもフレンドリーでスマホを渡すと動画などの撮影もして下さいます。
高齢の母も大興奮の充実した１日でした！
とてもオススメです。

I was very scared of heights, and wasn’t too sure I would make it through the activity. But we were a group of 12 including 3 of the staff and I must say the staff were incredibly supportive, attentive, friendly. You could really see they enjoyed what they do. They made us feel safe every step of the way. I’m so sorry I forgot their names, but everyone there was very welcoming. It was a 3 hour activity, 7 zip lines but we had a great time, we didn’t wanted to be over. Beautiful ocean and ranch view. I would go again. Really recommend for everyone.

We went from the airport to Waikiki, heading towards Kahala, and then counterclockwise to the North Shore, passing by the Dole Plantation and Pearl Harbor in that order. The piloting was from the ocean near Kahala to Pearl Harbor. It seemed like it wouldn't be a problem for those who don't speak English. I think it would have been even better if we could have flown around Diamond Head from the ocean side or if we could have pulled the control stick during takeoff. Seeing Hawaii from above at a low altitude is amazing.

空港からワイキキの街からカハラ方向へ抜けて反時計回りでノースショア→ドールプランテーション横→パールハーバーという順で回りました。
操縦はカハラの海上に出てからパールハーバーまででした。
英語が出来ないと思う人でも問題ないように感じました。
海側からダイヤモンドヘッドを回ったり、離陸時の操縦桿を引くところだけでも出来たら尚良かったと思います。
低い高度で上空から見て回るハワイは最高です。

This was a very easy, cruise at a leisurely pace and get some awesome views ride. It was perfect for a family activity; this included one 17-yr old and a 12-yr old. Very friendly staff and small group ride was very enjoyable. Definitely recommended.

I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was the most fun I've ever had.
Everything was explained in English, but I was able to understand the atmosphere, so it was fine.
The staff were very cheerful, and we all had a great time together!
Of course, enjoying the stunning views was amazing, but climbing, descending, and crossing everything was fun.

The zip line was the best!

何度もハワイに来ますが、過去一面白い。
説明は全て英語でしたが、雰囲気でわかるので大丈夫。
スタッフの方もとても明るく、みんなで和気あいあいと楽しむことができました！
絶景を楽しむことはもちろん、登ったり降りた渡ったり、全て楽しかった。

ジップライン最高

I felt reassured that the guide explained everything in Japanese from the start! The information about Dole Plantation and Haleiwa was detailed and informative, making it easy to explore!

最初から日本語のガイドで丁寧に説明してくれて安心でした！
ドールプランテーションもハレイワの情報も詳細で勉強になりましたし観光しやすかったです！

ATV Adventure was fantastic, guides (Maddy...) were great, and we will definitely do this again! HIGHLY recommend!

easy quick hike to a gorgeous fall! a bit of rocky terrain to be weary

Very exhilarating experience! The crew was very knowledgeable and the stories they shared were awesome. Beautiful scenery! Everything was top notch.

This was such a must for us this trip! We are on the island celebrating our 9 year anniversary and honeymoon and my husband wanted to do a tour like this. The views were immaculate! The guides were wonderful. So glad we did this. Mahalo!

In late May, I participated in a sunset and stargazing tour at the summit of Mauna Kea, which was an incredibly valuable experience. Since there were many Japanese participants, our perfect bilingual guide, Sue, navigated in Japanese.

The local information that isn't found in guidebooks, the mysterious and magnificent scenery along the way, the unexpected cold despite being in a tropical location (and the warmth of the borrowed jackets), the delicious sandwiches we had at the summit, the breathtaking sunset, the ever-changing colors of the sky and clouds, the opening of the observatory and the start of the observations, and the view of the star-filled sky and constellations—all of these were truly wonderful and exceeded my expectations, providing a surprising and moving experience.

During the stargazing, when Sue pointed out the constellations and we were all gazing at them, a huge shooting star passed by, and everyone cheered together. That became an unforgettable memory.

Thank you so much, Sue (Stephan). The photos you took with professional skill are a wonderful record, and I am grateful.

５月下旬、マウナケア山頂サンセットと星空観測ツアーに参加し、大変貴重な体験をさせてもらいました。
日本人参加者が多い回だったので、完璧なバイリンガルガイドのスーさんが、日本語でナビゲートしてくださいました。
ガイドブックにはないローカルの情報、道中の不思議で雄大な景色、南国にもかかわらず体験する歯も噛み合わない寒さ（と貸してくださった防寒ジャケットの暖かさ⁠)、山頂で食べた美味しいサンドイッチ、息を飲むようなサンセット、刻々と変わる空と雲の色、天文台が開き観測を開始する様、満天の星と星座の見方、どれもこれも本当に素晴らしく、想像を遥かに上回る、驚きと感動体験でした。
星空観測中に、スーさんが指し示した星座を皆で眺めている時、大きな大きな星が流れ、参加者全員で歓声を上げたこと。忘れられない思い出になりました。
スーさんことステファンさん、本当にありがとうございました。
プロ並みの腕前で撮って頂いた写真は、素晴らしい記録になり感謝です。

We enjoyed the tour overall but wish we had more time and one or two more stops around the Waimea Canyon. The tour takes in a few different spots across Kauai, but the real highlight is the Canyon. So it's a shame to only get a few different opportunities to stop and take photos. The tour picked us up and dropped us off promptly, and our guide Rosario told us a bit about the island and it's history, which we liked. The lunch provided was better than we expected. If we had the chance again, we would drive to the Waimea Canyon itself to explore it independently. If we had to take a tour again, we would consider this one as we felt overall it was good, if not perfect.

Oahu is so beautiful- Diamondhead is a must see but to add the Makapuu Lighthouse was an easy transfer for my day

The sunset above the clouds at the summit of Mauna Kea was truly magical. It was an unforgettable beauty. And the starry sky. At first, I told my son, "There aren't as many stars as I thought," but as it got completely dark, the sky was filled with stars! The guide's explanations were enjoyable, and I truly felt that it was a tour worth taking. Thank you very much.

マウナケア山頂雲の上のサンセットは、本当に幻想的でした。忘れられない美しさでした。
そして星空。最初「思ったほど星の量ないね」と
息子に言っていたのですが、完全に暗くなってくると
空が星で埋め尽くされていました！ガイドさんの説明も楽しく、行ってよかったなぁとこころからそう思えるツアーでした。ありがとうございました。
