All Reviews for Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Overall, I think it's a tour similar to what others have described. However, while the Milky Way can be seen during a new moon, it becomes quite difficult once it surpasses a half moon. Even if the moon is said to look beautiful, since stargazing is the main focus, it was a bit disappointing. I wish I had checked the moon phase before booking.

概ね他の方が書いている通りのツアーだと思います。ただ、新月なら天の川も見えるのでしょうが、半月を超えてくるとまず難しいのではないでしょうか。月が綺麗に見えるといわれても星空観測がメインですからちょっとつらいものがありました。月齢を調べて申し込めば良かったと思いました。

I wasn't very confident with vehicles, so I was a bit worried, but I thought it might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to climb up to 4200 meters, so I decided to go for it. With a relaxed schedule that included photo opportunities, dinner, and bathroom breaks, we were able to reach the summit.

It felt quite strange to drive up to a summit of about 4200 meters. Even though I was wearing warm clothing, it was still cold (it seems it had been quite warm recently), and I felt the air was thin, so I was consciously breathing. From the summit, we were treated to a beautiful sunset, and I was able to get some wonderful photos with the sunset in the background. A little below the summit, we did some stargazing. Since it was three days before the full moon, the moon was too bright, and unfortunately, we couldn't see the Milky Way, but I was able to take some fantastic photos here as well, which made for great memories.

あまり乗り物が得意ではないので少し心配でしたが、4200mまで登ることなどこれからないかもしれないと思い、思い切って申込みました。途中写真撮影、夕食とトイレ休憩など、余裕のあるスケジュールで山頂まで行けました。
約4200ｍの山頂まで車で行くということでとても不思議な感じでした。車を降りると、防寒着は着ていても、やはり寒く（ここ最近ではかなり暖かかったようですが）、空気は薄く感じたので、意識して呼吸はしていました。山頂からはきれいな夕日、そして夕日をバックに素敵な写真を撮ってもらえました。山頂から少し降りたところで星空観察。満月の3日前ということで月がまぶしすぎ、残念ながら天の川など見ることができませんでしたが、ここでも幻想的な写真を撮ってもらいよい記念になりました。

Our guides were so friendly and fabulous, amazing tour, a lot of places seen in the tv show and so well explained, just some word
DO IT !

The Mauna Kea summit tour is a must-do!!! This is my second trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, and I participated in a stargazing tour at the summit for the first time.

Not only is the beauty of the night sky breathtaking, but the sight of telescopes from around the world, including the Subaru Telescope, lined up in the red, barren landscape gives you the illusion of being in space.

However, there were some Japanese participants who did not follow proper etiquette. It seems that this land is very sacred to the people of the Big Island, so I hope everyone will respect the rules while participating.

マウナケア山頂ツアーは絶対に参加するべきです！！！
ハワイ島への旅行は今回が２回目で、初めて山頂での星空観測ツアーに参加しました。

星空の美しさもさることながら、すばる望遠鏡をはじめとする世界各国の望遠鏡群が赤土の無機質な空間に並ぶ風景は、まるで宇宙にいるかのような錯覚を覚えます。

ただ、一部の日本人でマナーを守れていない方がいらっしゃいました。ハワイ島の方々にとっては、とても神聖な土地のようですので、必ずマナーを守って参加いただきたいものです。

I was disappointed that I couldn't enter Hanauma Bay, which I had been looking forward to (I would have liked more detailed information online indicating that entry might not be possible even on days other than Tuesday). The town on the North Shore felt quite run-down, and others around me also said there wasn't anything particularly impressive. I would have preferred to visit the site of the Pearl Harbor attack, or I had heard from friends that the train at Dole was really nice, so I wished I had more time to ride the train there. The guide was very entertaining (though it was a bit disappointing that there were many advertisements for accessories).

The Polynesian Cultural Center was good. I appreciated how hard the students worked to explain things. I understood the drama-style shows somewhat in English, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if the guide or students had explained a simple story in Japanese beforehand. Since it was outdoors, even at night it felt hot and a bit long. The final fire show was spectacular and very moving.

期待していたハナウマ湾にはいれなくてガッカリでした（ネットの詳細に、火曜日以外でもはいれない可能性がある旨の説明がほしい）、ノースショアのタウンはさびれた町というかんじで格別感動するところはないと周りの人達も言っていた、それよりも、真珠湾攻撃の場所を見学したかった、又はドールの汽車がとてもいいと友達からきいていたので、ドールで汽車に乗る時間がほしかった。ガイドさんはとても面白い方でした（アクセサリーの宣伝が多いのがちょっと残念でしたが）
ポリネシア文化センターは良かった。学生さんたちがとても一生懸命説明してくれるのが好感もてた。ドラマ仕立てのショーはすべて英語で何となくわかったが、事前に簡単なストーリーを日本語でガイドさん又は学生さんが説明してくれてばもっと楽しめたと思う、野外なので、夜といえども暑くてちょっと長く感じた。最後のファイヤーショーは圧巻でとても感動した。

I was really anxious about getting altitude sickness, but along the way, our guide Matsuzaki kept us laughing with his entertaining talks, and I was able to go on with energy. The full moon made me wonder if I could see stars as beautifully as in Japan, but the sunset and the moon that felt within reach were indescribably beautiful. If I come to Hawaii Island again, I will definitely participate once more! It was truly wonderful. Thank you for the lovely time!

高山病になるのではと不安で仕方なかったですが、道中ガイドのマツザキさんが面白いトークでたくさん笑わせてくれて、元気に行ってこれました。満月で星は日本のきれいな場所で見れるかな？って程でしたが、夕日そして手が届きそうな月は、言葉で表せないほど美しかったです。ハワイ島に来たらまた必ず参加します！ホントに良かったです。素敵な時間をありがとうございました！

It's a wonderful sight! I was impressed. I'm very happy to participate in this tour.

Throughout the afternoon, we went around to various places, and while the guide was very diligent in providing information, we only spent about 10 to 15 minutes at each location. If you need to use the restroom, that time is quickly up. When you have kids with you, it’s hard to move around, so there were times we didn’t get off the bus. I think it might be better to focus on fewer points of interest. The jewelry shop might not be necessary. The Polynesian Cultural Center is sufficient to visit in the afternoon. The buffet for lunch and dinner has almost the same offerings, so one visit is enough. They sell a variety of food. The last show ends at 9 PM, so it gets late, but the show was wonderful.

午後中、あちこち回るんですが、ガイドさんは一生懸命案内してくださるけど、一箇所10分とか15分とか、トイレ行ったら終わり。子供連れてると動けないので、降りなかった時も。ちょっと、ポイントを絞っても良いかと思います。ジュエリーショップは、不要かな。ポリネシア文化センターは、午後からで十分。ビュッフェは夜と昼、ほぼ同じ中身ですから、どちらか一回で良いと思います。何でも食べるもの売ってます。最後のショーが終わると21時なので、夜遅くなるけど、ショーは素晴らしかったです。

It's great to have guidance in Japanese, and the Hawaiian jokes are fun too. We drove around the jungle in a speeding Jeep and visited plants at a farm and ranch. In the afternoon, my younger child suddenly needed to go to the bathroom, which made us late for the movie tour, and the bus we had reserved left without us. However, the ticket center quickly arranged for the next bus. We were super excited at the entrance to Jurassic Park. The facilities are very accommodating, which is reassuring. The program is friendly for families with children. However, the early morning is a bit tough. With a 7:10 AM pickup, I had to wake up at least by 6 AM. Since breakfast was at 7, I gave up and woke up at 5:30 to make porridge in the hotel kitchen. If the program could be adjusted, it would be nice to have a menu with one in the morning and two in the afternoon.

日本語で案内してもらえるのと、ハワイアンジョーク？がまた楽しい。疾走するジープでジャングルをまわったり、農園や牧場で植物を見学したり。午後、下の子が急にトイレに行きたがって、映画ツアーの時間に遅れてしまい、予約してたバスは行ってしまったんですが、チケットセンターですぐ次のバスを手配してくれました。ジュラシックパークの入り口？セットに大興奮。施設内は、至れり尽くせりで、安心ですね。子供連れにはやさしいプログラムです。ただし、朝早いのがちょっとしんどい。7時10分ピックアップだと、朝は最低でも６時起床です。朝食が7時からだったので、諦めて、私だけ５時半に起きてホテルのキッチンで雑炊作りました。プログラムを調整できるんだったら、朝一つ、午後二つ、とかのメニューがあっても良いのでは。

''This is the second time we have been on the Fern Grotto adventure. Beautiful place and you learn something too! Thank you for sharing your family history Smith Family.

Had such a lovely day on this tour, the guide showed us around town including the palace and the cemetery and gave us some great insights into local culture. Once at pearl harbour we were handed our tickets and told what times to be at what places, heading out to the Arizona was definitely a highlight for me. All in all an enjoyable day

Bob and Akima picked us up at 7.25 am outside Hawaiian Prince Hotel, then picked up 2 other groups of 3 making 8 of us. We drove out of Waikiki for around 20 mins with interesting commentary about Hawaii from Akima before reaching our first stop - a beautiful picturesque beach where it"s possible to see dolphins. Akima spoke Japanese so stayed with the 6 Japanese people leaving Bob to me and my friend. Bob told us a lot about the area and if you want to know more about surfing then Bob's your man. We then moved on to a small group of shops where we bought items for our picnic lunch later.
We next went to a Kaneana,(Makua cave) a very old sea cave with many legends attached to it. Bob was a great storyteller telling us about the legend of the shapeshifter shark man of Makua cave. Then you can explore the cave a bit if you dare!
Next we stopped at the stunning Makaha valley which again has a great legend associated with it and looks like scenery from Kong Island or Jurassic Park.
We were really lucky driving to our next spot as Bob spotted a rare Monk Seal basking on the rocks.
A couple more lovely spots then time for our lunch at Ku'ilioloa Heiau, and then the snorkelling at Pokai Bay. First Bob checked our swimming ability then gave us mask,snorkel and fins plus a life vest. Bob is very patient and stays with you all the time gently encouraging you to explore the sealife. I'm not confident snorkelling but felt very safe with Akima and Bob. We saw corals, beautiful colourful fish and 2 sea turtles.
It was a really great day which we would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to see a much less touristy authentic side of Oahu, the scenery is just beautiful and excellent snorkelling. Many thanks to Akima and Bob who made our day special.

The guide was really great. At first, the makeup was so impressive that the kids were surprised, but thinking of it as a way to entertain the participants, it was a very service-oriented approach.

I was a bit surprised to receive sales at the black coral store, but I’m glad I bought something.

The Tonga zone at the Polynesian Cultural Center was very interesting. Now, I regret not raising my hand...

ガイドさんがとっても良かったです。
最初はすごいメイクだったので、子供もびっくりしていましたが、
参加者を喜ばせるための仕掛けだと思うと
とてもサービス精神のある言い方でした。

黒サンゴの店で販売を受けたのはちょっとびっくりしましたけど
買ってよかったと思っています。

ポリネシアン文化センターではトンガのゾーンがとっても面白かったです。
今となっては、手を挙げていればよかったと後悔しています・・・

We participated as a family of four in August, with our children being 9 and 6 years old. Since we were staying at the Westin Maui, we met at the Group Entrance next to Whale's Village (where the shuttle bus for SPG hotels stops for Lahaina) at 2:20 AM. It's necessary to confirm by phone by the day before.

While waiting at that location, the first bus arrived earlier than scheduled. I was a bit anxious about whether we were supposed to take this bus, but we ended up transferring to a larger bus in Kahului. In the end, we were the only Japanese participants. The female driver and guide on this bus was amazing. She recommended chewing gum to prevent ear pressure. I was fine without it, but those who are concerned might want to prepare some. It seems you can buy gum at a convenience store during the transfer in Kahului. There weren't many cars on the way from Kahului to Haleakalā, but since it's a mountain road at night, I recommend joining a tour if you're not confident in your driving skills. Animals also seem to come out onto the road. According to the guide, if you haven't registered and paid online in advance, you won't be able to enter the park at sunrise. I actually saw several cars in front of us turning back.

I think we arrived at the sunrise viewing spot before 5 AM. First of all, both buses were quite cold due to the air conditioning, so it's a good idea to dress warmly. There are restrooms between the bus stop and the sunrise spot. I dressed the kids warmly there as it was quite cold. I recommend a lightweight down jacket, gloves, a scarf, a hat, and hand warmers. It's just a short walk from the restroom to the sunrise spot. It’s dark, so having a flashlight might be helpful, but it's not essential as you won't use it much aside from adjusting your camera. The sunrise was around 5:50 AM, so we ended up waiting outside for nearly an hour. On the tour, they guided us to a good spot for viewing the sunrise. Another male guide, who was acquainted with the female bus guide, helped out at the sunrise spot, taking care of the kids and taking photos for us. Whether to bring a tripod is a dilemma. If you really want to capture the starry sky before sunrise and don’t mind carrying extra gear, it could be worth it.

Despite the weather forecast, the sunrise spot was clear, and we were able to see the most beautiful sunrise. It's hard to explain in words or photos, but I believe it's worth seeing at least once in your life. The view of the crater below is also breathtaking. We returned to the bus at 6:15 AM. From there, we moved to the summit by bus, where there are about three photo spots. Even if you don't take photos, the views of the ocean and islands are quite impressive. It seems that if you do your research beforehand, you'll know what to expect, but for those unfamiliar, it felt a bit uncertain whether we were allowed to be there, so participating in the tour was definitely worthwhile. After getting back on the bus, we were offered coffee and Danish pastries (which are sold in supermarkets and come in various flavors). We then headed for breakfast. The bus stopped at a photo spot along the way, where we took beautiful pictures.

For breakfast, you can choose from three options: pancakes, fruit, or something like bacon, which we ate at a restaurant attached to a golf course. I think it’s best not to have high expectations for the taste. Even if you don't understand English, you can manage, but it’s definitely helpful to understand the guide's information. As of the time I’m writing this, there shouldn’t be a Japanese sunrise tour available (though there is a starry sky tour). This might also be related to the aforementioned entry restrictions.

According to the hotel concierge, there seems to be a limousine tour for about $250 per person, but unfortunately, we couldn't participate as it was fully booked. During the summer when we participated, many people come from the mainland U.S. to Maui, so it fills up quickly. Once

家族4名で8月に参加しました。うち、子供は9才6才です。Westin Mauiに滞在していたので、ホテルのGroup EntranceというWhale's Villageの横の入口(SPG系列のホテルとラハイナまでの巡回バスが停まるところ）で、午前2時20分待ち合わせでした。前日までに再確認の電話をする必要があります。
その場所で待っていると予定時間より早く最初のバスが到着。このバスで行くのか少し不安でしたが、カフルイでより大型のバスに乗り換えることになりました。結局日本人は私達だけでした。このバスのドライバー兼ガイドさんの女性がすごかったです。ガムとか噛むことを勧めていました。空気が耳に詰まることを防ぐためのようです。私は噛まなくても大丈夫でしたが、気になる方は準備されてもよいでしょう。ガムは、カフルイでの乗り換え時にコンビニみたいな所で買うことができるようです。カフルイからハレアカラまで、車は多くはなかったですが、夜の山道なので運転技術に自信がない方はツアー参加をおすすめします。動物も道路に出てくるみたいです。ガイドさんの話によると、事前にインターネットで登録して料金を支払っていないと今はすくなくとも日の出の時に入山できないようです。実際、前にいた何台かの車が引き返していく様子を見ました。
日の出を見るスポットには午前5時前には着いたと思います。まず、バスが二台とも結構空調が利いて寒いので厚着をしていてもいいと思います。日の出スポットに行くためのバスの停車場所と、日の出スポットの間にトイレがあります。子どもたちはその前で厚着をさせました。結構寒いです。薄手のダウン、手袋、マフラー、帽子、カイロをおすすめします。トイレから日の出スポットまでほんの少し歩きます。暗いので懐中電灯があってもいいですが、この道とカメラの調節以外は使わないので必須ではないです。日の出は午前5時50分位だったので1時間近く外で待つことになりました。ツアーでいくと、日の出を見る良い場所に案内してくれました。その女性バスガイドさんの知り合いである別の男性ガイドさんが、日の出スポットで色々と面倒を観てくれて子どもたちの面倒をみてくれたり、写真を撮ってくれました。三脚を持っていくかは悩ましいです。日の出前の星空をどうしても撮影したいとか、荷物が苦にならないのであればありだと思います。
当日は天気予報にも拘わらず、日の出スポットは晴れており、最高の日の出を見ることができました。これは言葉や写真で上手く説明できないてすが、人生において一度は見ておく価値があると思います。眼下のクレーターのような感じも圧巻てす。午前6時15分にバスに戻りました。ここから、バスで山頂へ移動しました。ここでも三カ所位写真スポットがあります。写真をとらなくても、海や島が見える景色はかなり見応えがあります。事前によく調べていればわかるみたいですが、慣れない人間には、そこに行っていいのか微妙な感じでしたので、この点もツアーに参加した甲斐がありました。バスに戻ってから、コーヒーとデニッシュ（スーパーとかで売っている・何種類か味がある）の提供がありました。その後朝食に向かいました。途中、写真スポットでバスが停車しましたのでそこでも美しい写真を撮りました。
朝食は、車中でパンケーキ、フルーツ、ベーコンのようなものの三種類から選択します。ゴルフ場併設のレストランで食べますが、味はそれ程期待しない方がよいと思います。
英語は解らなくてもなんとかなりますが、ガイドさんの話に何かと参考になることもあるのでできるにこしたことはないです。これを書いている時点ては日本語日の出ツアーは催行されていなかったはずです（星空ツアーはある）。これも前述の入山規制と関係あるのかもしれかせん。
このツアー以外にホテルのコンシェルジェによると、一人250$くらいのリムジンみたいなので行くツアーもあるようです。ちなみにこちらは予約一杯で参加できませんでした。
我々が参加した夏場は、アメリカ本土からマウイに来る人が多く早めにいっぱいになるようです。日程が決まったらキャンセルできるのでとにかく早めに予約する事をおすすめします。

I wanted to see a beautiful starry sky, so I decided to join this tour. However, I was a bit anxious about whether I could climb up to 4,000 meters. Fortunately, there was time to acclimatize to the altitude, and I was able to breathe deeply, so I had no problems at all. The summit wasn't as cold as I had expected, and thanks to the warm gear provided, I was able to enjoy it to the fullest. After descending a bit, the starry sky we observed was also wonderful. I thought about how vast the universe is. There was a time when people traveled relying on the stars, and I felt a longing for such journeys. The Milky Way was clearly visible, and I was even able to see about four shooting stars, which made me feel happy. I'm really glad I participated in this tour.

綺麗な星空を観たいと思いこのツアーへの参加を思い立ちました。が、4,000ｍまで登って大丈夫なのかって不安もありました。途中で高所に慣れるための時間があったのと、深呼吸が上手く出来たので何の問題もありませんでした。山頂は思っていたほど寒くなく、最も貸していただいた防寒具があったのでその恩恵もありましたが、思う存分楽しむことが出来ました。それから少し下って観測した星空も素敵でした。宇宙は広いのだなあ～と思いました。星空を頼りに旅をしていた時代もあったのです。そのような旅にも憧れを感じてしまいました。天の川もはっきりと観えました。さらに、流れ星も4個ほど観測できたので幸せな気持ちになれました。このツアーに参加出来て本当に良かったです。

The arrangements were smooth. The pick-up after arrival was also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.

手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

Absolutely a must do!!! For entire family. Captain John was marvelous!!

I was able to experience the various cultures of the Polynesian islands firsthand. My middle school and elementary school children were also delighted to enjoy the world of Samoan movies.

ポリネシアの島々の様々な文化を生で体験できました。中学生と小学生の子どももサモアの映画の世界を満喫できたと喜んでいました。

On the flight there, I previewed "King Kong" and "The Lost World," and with that lingering feeling, it truly felt like I had stepped into the world of the movies. The guide for the movie bus tour was interesting, and the food was delicious.
For horseback riding, the site mentioned a height requirement of over 140 cm, but the paper distributed on the bus stated it was over 137 cm. Since my son is 138 cm, I thought I should have signed up for the tour that included horseback riding instead of the one that didn't.

行きの飛行機の中で「コング」と「ロストワールド」を予習してので、その余韻もあって、本当に映画の中の世界に紛れ込んだようでした。映画バスツアーのガイドさんの話も面白く、食事も美味しかったです。
乗馬は、サイトには140cm以上と書いてありましたが、バスの中で配られたアトラクションを選ぶ紙には、137cm以上と書いてあり、息子は138cmだったので、乗馬を含まないツアーで申し込んだのに、それなら乗馬がある方で申し込めば良かったなと思いました。

Larry our guide was very knowledgeable about the city, and gave good direction on how to get the most out of the Arizona Memorial tour. Larry gave great suggestions on places to dine, and other places to see. Had a great day!

Had an enjoyable and unforgettable evening, beautiful entertainers...will definitely come again!
Had an awesome & knowledgeable tour guide on the bus...way to go "K"

The main event of our trip to Hawaii is always interesting, as the route changes every time we come. This time, even though I just went horseback riding on the 27th, it was completely engaging, with new emotions and discoveries each time. I have had different horseback riding experiences in Japan and Hawaii, but so far, the freedom of riding without a lead rope here is the best. I still find it exciting, and when we plan our next trip to Hawaii, I will definitely include this activity in our schedule. It has brought so much joy to our family.

ハワイ旅行のメインイベント、毎回来るたびにルートが違ってとても面白いです、今回も、２７日、乗馬したばかりなのにまったく飽きさせず、その都度新しい感動、発見があります、日本やハワイでも今まで違う乗馬体験をしましたが、今のところ、引き綱なしの解放感乗馬ができ、ここが一番、まだまだ、飽きずに、またハワイ旅行を計画した際は絶対このアクティビティは外さず日程に入れます、それだけ私たち家族を楽しませてくれています。

Every time I come to Hawaii, I make sure to experience horseback riding. My grandchildren never get tired of it, no matter how many times we go. This time, we did encounter a little rain along the way, but I thought it was part of the experience. As we rode through the trees, we eventually reached a breathtaking spot where we could overlook Haleiwa Bay. While I had been feeling nervous about riding until then, my heart opened up completely. In our family, we have decided that Hawaii equals horseback riding, and we plan our schedule around it.

ハワイに来るたびに必ず体験しています。孫ともども何回乗馬しても飽きさせません。今回は途中で少しシャワーにあってしまいましたが、それもありかなっと思いました。木々の間を乗馬しながら突き進み、いつしかハレイワ湾を見渡せる絶景場所に来ると、今までドキドキしながら乗馬していたのに一変で心が開かれました。我が家では、ハワイ＝乗馬と決めて日程を組んでいます。

The car was clean, and the guide provided a lot of information along the way. On the way back, we also toured downtown. We were able to see sea turtles, and the garlic shrimp from the restaurant they recommended was peeled and easy to eat. It was a pity that we had a short time to explore the town of Haleiwa, and I couldn't have Matsumoto Shave Ice. We enjoyed riding the horse for over 40 minutes. The local guide mentioned that the minimum age is 7 years and the height requirement is 4 feet 4 inches, so I was worried about the height, but even smaller children around 120 centimeters were properly adjusted and able to ride.

車もキレイで、ガイドさんが道中たくさんガイドしてくれて、帰り道はダウンタウンも回ってくれました。
ウミガメも見れたし、紹介してもらったお店のガーリックシュリンプは殻をむいてあり食べやすかったです。ハレイワの街の散策時間が短く、マツモトシェーブアイスが食べられなかったのが残念でした。馬はたっぷり40分以上乗れて堪能しました。現地の案内では7歳以上、4フィート4インチ以上書かれていたので身長が足りないと心配しましたが、120センチ程度の小さめな子でもちゃんと調整して乗せてもらっていました。

A tour where you can feel the Earth★
The sunset and stars are so beautiful that it's overwhelming.
The journey to the tour is relaxed, with stops at the supermarket, Krispy Kreme, and picking up dinner♪
We also bought souvenirs at the supermarket we visited at that time.
It's cold at the summit, so I recommend dressing warmly, but they provide extra clothing and blankets for you.
It was wonderful to come together as a group to watch the sunset and stars!
This tour allows you to reflect on yourself and your life in the great outdoors.

地球を感じられるツアー★
夕日も星も綺麗すぎて圧倒されます。
ツアーまでの道のりはスーパー行ったり、クリスピーに行ったり、夕食を買ったりと、ゆったり楽しめます♪
私たちもその時に行ったスーパーでお土産を購入したりしました。
山頂は寒いので暖かい格好をオススメしますが、上に着るものや毛布は用意してくださっています。
みんなで一体となり夕日や星を見るのも、とても素敵でした！
大自然の中で、自分自身や人生について改めて考えることができるツアーです。

参加者の多くは米国本土からのカップルで、日本人は私どもだけでしたが、料理も音楽も最高で楽しめました。ハワイ島の歴史も分かりやすく語られていました。

My wife has experience riding horses at Kualoa Ranch and was determined to go horseback riding when we visited Hawaii. My two grandchildren, aged 7 and 10, were experiencing horseback riding for the first time. Since Kualoa Ranch only allows participants aged 10 and older, we were able to join this tour.

At first, we received instructions on how to handle the horses, but I was worried and anxious about whether the horses would listen to us.

The instructor rode at the front, holding the reins of my 7-year-old grandchild's horse, while each of us handled our own reins for the other horses. Next in line were the horses ridden by my 10-year-old grandchild, my wife, and myself, followed by the horses of four other participants in the tour, and finally the instructor's horse, making a total of ten horses. We rode through the valley for about 75 minutes.

The horses were smart; they stopped when the horse in front stopped and moved forward when it did. We hardly needed to use the reins to guide our horses, allowing us to enjoy a comfortable riding experience with views of the valley and the North Shore ocean occasionally visible.

I want to express my gratitude to my wife, the organizers of this tour, and the staff at the ranch for providing my grandchildren and me with such a memorable experience.

私の家内はクアロラ牧場での乗馬経験が有り、ハワイに行くなら絶対乗馬はしたいとのことでした。私と７歳と１０歳の孫は初めての乗馬体験です。クアロラ牧場は、１０歳以上しか参加できないので今回のツアーに参加させていただきました。

最初は、馬の取扱いについて説明してもっらったのですが、馬がきいてくれるのか心配で不安でした。

インストラクターの方が馬に乗って先頭で、７歳の孫の乗った馬の手綱を持って、後の馬は各自で手綱をひきます（持つ）。次に１０歳の孫の乗った馬、家内の乗った馬、私の乗った馬、後同じツアーに参加された４名の方の馬、最後インストラクターの方の乗った馬の１０頭の編成で渓谷を７５分ぐらい乗馬出来ました。

馬は賢く前の馬が止まれば止まり、進めば同じように進みます。ほとんど手綱を使って自分の馬に指示することなく、渓谷と時折見えるノースショアの海の眺望など、快適な乗馬体験が出来ました。

私も、孫二人も今までにない思い出に残る経験ができたことに、家内と今回のツアーの主催者、牧場の方々に感謝したいと思います。

This was a lot of fun but I think it would have been better if the bus would go to the waterfall and one beach place to allow more time to do activities. Our bus driver was informative but repeated himself alot which did get a little annoying at times.

We had a three hour tour. This was way overpriced and what I would consider a rip off. I think an extra touch would of been to find out where they were filming for the day and at least let us know even if we had to go on our own. I wouldn't care to do it again and will advise my friends not to. It also said to bring money for lunch. There was no lunch stop.

About 10 minutes after departing from Kona, we encountered dolphins.
After about 20 minutes, we proceeded to the diving point.
We played with colorful fish, slides, and inflatable rings that delighted the kids.
I was satisfied to see my child, who was not fond of deep water, happily swimming without any signs of anxiety.
