I raced through the world of Jurassic World on a bicycle! Since it was an electric-assist mountain bike, I was able to power through steep hills and bumpy paths with ease! At first, going downhill was scary because of the speed, but once I got used to it, I was able to glide smoothly and it felt great! The scenery was on a completely different scale than in Japan, and I fell even more in love with Hawaii!

I chose a children's bike because it was too big for me to reach the pedals, but it was tough to ride! (laughs) The male guide spoke broken Japanese, but he was very friendly! He took a lot of photos for us. My husband's bike got a flat tire, but the cool female guide who was behind us responded quickly and really helped us out. It was a tour where we could truly feel the nature of Hawaii, and I was very satisfied.
What I messed up on was the tip! I got off the bike to thank them and ended up parting ways. I thought, "Wait, was I supposed to give the tip at that moment?!" I went back, but the male guide was already gone. I managed to give the tip to the female guide, though. I'm sorry because tipping is not a custom in Japan.
We were blessed with good weather, but I think if it had rained, I wouldn't have been able to manage since I don't usually ride bikes. There are also steep hills, so please be careful while riding to avoid injuries.
自転車が大きく足が届かないので子供用にしましたがこぐのが大変!(笑)

At first, I was worried about my stamina for the 2-hour mountain bike tour, but it was fine since we stopped for breaks and photo opportunities along the way! The bumpy roads were a bit scary until I got used to the bike, but with some initial practice and knowing how to use the gears, I was able to climb hills smoothly. Although my Japanese isn't very good, the guide was very unique and made the tour exciting, which made for a great memory. I definitely want to recommend this tour to my friends.
最初は2時間のマウンテンバイクツアーで体力的に心配もありましたが、休憩や記念撮影等で止まりながら進んでいくため大丈夫でした!自転車に慣れるまでは道がデコボコのたも少し怖かったですが、最初の練習やギアの使い方次第で坂道もスムーズに登ることが出来ます。日本語はあまり通じませんが、ガイドさんがとてもユニークでツアーを盛り上げてくれるためとても良い記念になりました。友人にも是非勧めたいツアーです。

There were various tours available, but this e-bike tour had about 15 participants in total.
On the day of the tour, it was raining and the roads were bad, which made me quite anxious. However, the guides were there to support us from the front and back, so I was able to ride with peace of mind.
I felt there were a few more hills than expected, but with the electric bike, it felt like it was pushing me along, and I could easily pedal up the hills, making it very comfortable!
The tour included visits to about five movie filming spots. While participants on other bus tours were taking photos from inside the vehicle, we were able to get off at each location during the e-bike tour and take pictures, which was a great aspect of this experience.
Additionally, we were able to navigate narrow paths and climb hills unique to the e-bike tour, leading to spots with stunning views, which was fantastic.
I wish the weather had been better, though. My clothes and shoes ended up soaking wet and covered in mud. (laughs)
But that was also part of the fun, so it was all good!
The guides were very friendly and actively encouraged us to take photos, so I think you'll really enjoy it!

Make sure to bring plenty of water! I think it's best to have at least 500ml per person! Wear sneakers and clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, and bring a towel to wipe off sweat. Don't forget sun protection if you don't want to get sunburned! Even though there was assistance, I felt it was quite a tough tour. I had been eating a lot of heavy food during the trip, so I thought, "This is good exercise!" The guide was creative and made it exciting, and we were able to take many great photos at the shooting points! Other activities looked really fun too, so I definitely want to go again!

Tour with pickup service.
Colored wristbands are distributed at check-in according to the participating activities.
A guide who speaks Japanese will accompany us to a Croatian lunch.
We arrived in about 45 minutes.
Since there was about an hour until the tour check-in, we spent time walking around the souvenir shop and the ranch.
There is also a break area with a solid menu, including light snacks like sandwiches and drinks, so it could be a good time for breakfast.
After checking in for the bike tour, we put on helmets.
Ponchos for rain protection were also available in the same location.
Once all participants have checked in, we watch a bike handling instruction video.
The video is entirely in English, and the bike tour guide also spoke only English.
I felt a bit anxious about the explanations in English regarding gear changes, but we can practice a bit before the tour starts, which helps.
Since we ride mainly on mountain paths and gravel roads, it might feel a bit uneasy until you get used to it.
The ride lasts exactly two hours from start to finish.
However, there will be a photo time along the way.
The guide will take pictures for you, so if you hand over your camera or smartphone, you can get great photos with the beautiful scenery, whether you're participating alone or with a partner!
Everyone's attire varied.
Men wore tank tops or T-shirts with shorts.
Women wore long-sleeved shirts or T-shirts with leggings or long pants.
Everyone had sneakers on.
Since mud can splash, your feet may get dirty.
There are lockers available, but it's better to bring less.
A small shoulder bag or waist pouch that can hold a wallet, phone (camera), towel, and drink is recommended.
If you bring a backpack, you will sweat a lot on your back, so it's better to avoid that if possible.
After the tour, we had just under two hours until the return bus, so we had lunch at the break area.
The break area can get very crowded with other tour participants and those joining in the afternoon, so there may not be enough seating available.

I saw the reviews and thought I could join even as a solo participant, so I signed up. I can't speak English; my skills are limited to stringing together a few words. The female guide was bright and friendly. She explained things in a way that I could understand, so I managed to catch about half of what was said.
Manoa Falls is a popular spot, and there were many people of all ages walking there. I think the trail is slippery and challenging, but if you walk carefully, you'll be fine. I participated in light hiking shoes, but many people around me were in flip-flops or Crocs.
The downhill biking was a bit different from what I expected; it felt quite slow as we descended from the hilltop. If it had been a bit faster, it might have been more exhilarating. Safety first, I suppose, but it might have been nice to have a little more speed.
Communicating in English was the most enjoyable part for me.
口コミを見て、一人参加でも行けるかなと思って申し込みました。私は英語を話せません。カタコトで単語を並べる位の英語力です。女性のガイドさんは明るく、フレンドリー。こちらが理解出来る様に説明して下さったのでしょう。半分くらいは何とか聞き取れました。
マヌアの滝は人気スポットだけあって大人から子供まで沢山の方が歩いていました。滑りやすい難路だと思いますが注意して歩けば大丈夫です。私は、軽登山靴で参加しましたが、周りの方々はビーチサンダルやクロックスもかなりいました。
自転車でのダウンヒルはちょっと思っていた物とは違い、かなりゆっくりと丘の頂上から下って行く感じでした。もう少し速度があれば爽快だったかも。安全第一で仕方がないのかも知れませんが。
英語でコミュニケーションをするのが一番楽しかったです。

We managed to communicate with a little bit of the guide's Japanese and our little bit of English, and that was fun in its own way. The hike took about 30 minutes one way; it was sunny, but the ground was muddy and slippery, so they lent us walking sticks. Safety was the top priority for the guide, so taking photos while walking was a no-go, but they stopped at points where we could take pictures. The downhill biking was exhilarating! Feeling the wind as we descended the mountain and enjoying the scent of the forest was very pleasant; I took in a lot of fresh air! I realized that it's not just the ocean, but these forests that truly represent Hawaii.
ガイドさんの少しの日本語と こちらの少しの英語 でなんとか コミュニケーションも取り それはそれで楽しかったです。
ハイキングは 片道30分くらい、晴れていましたが 地面はドロドロで滑りやすいので ステッキを貸してくれました。

When I went to Hawaii, I usually stuck to the beach, but this time I decided to explore the mountains as well! I joined a tour, and the guide was very friendly, providing detailed explanations about the plants during the hike. The waterfall was beautiful too. At the end, we rode down the hill on bicycles, which was quite refreshing. You can also enjoy the views of Hawaii from the mountains. I highly recommend it!

This tour was worth every penny on its own, but our guide ELON made it even better!
We were picked up on time and taken up into the hills of Manoa Valley and went on a hike in the rain forest all the way to the waterfall and back. Hike was not super difficult, but definitely wear shoes (no flip flops).
Next part of the tour was lunch up on Mt Tantalus and then a 30 minute downhill bike ride down the mountain. We stopped halfway down for a pretty nice photo op. The views were amazing! Must point out that the staff made sure we were very safe on the downhill bike ride.
Once we got to the bottom, we were take to the marina, where we boarded a catamaran and went out to the Pacific and snorkelled at the "turtle cleaning station" for about an hour. We saw about 4 or 5 turtles and a ton of fish. Snorkel boat also had sodas and snacks.
We were returned to our hotel around 5pm after a full day adventure.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and HUGE thank you to Elon!!!!!!

I saw someone mention that the staff was friendly, so I thought, "Alright, I'll give it a try on my own!" However... the feeling of being an outsider was overwhelming, haha.
The staff were white males and seemed friendly enough, but I was the only one participating alone and the only complete Japanese person there. By the way, my English skills are such that I only understand about half of what the guide is saying. The staff couldn't speak Japanese, so everything was in English, and it felt like they were treating me like, "This person probably doesn't understand English, so let's just leave them be," haha.
The weather was nice, and the scenery was beautiful, which felt great, but being there alone made me feel really isolated, and it left me feeling a bit unsettled.

This tour is recommended for those who are proficient in English since the guide speaks English. All instructions from the guide are also in English. Especially during the cycling after the hike, it can be dangerous if you cannot speak English in case something happens. The hiking course is on a private lane with no other tourists, allowing you to enjoy it quietly and leisurely. You can experience a sense of the jungle more than on the main lane accessible to the general public, fully appreciating Hawaii's nature.
ガイドが英語なので、英語が得意な方におすすめのツアーです。もちろんガイドさんからの注意事項も全て英語です。特にハイキング後に行うサイクリングでは、英語が話せないと何かあったときに危険だと思います。ハイキングコースはプライベートレーンで他の観光客がいないため、静かにゆったり楽しめます。一般者が入ることが可能なメインのレーンよりジャングル感が味わえ、ハワイの自然を存分に感じることができます。

Bring your camera! some ice water, (water is provided but bring your own ice water if you can,) You need all the basics, you're going to be outdoors for a long period of time so you need sunblock, some mosquito repellent, a book-bag, sunglasses, ice water, some extra snacks for yourself and an extra battery for your camera or a portable charger for your phone. Do it!

I applied because I wanted to ride a bicycle. When I participated, I was the only Japanese person there. The announcements were in English, so I listened carefully to everything. We traveled by car from the meeting point to near the mountain summit, and from there, we rode mountain bikes down slowly. It's fine for beginners. We took breaks along the way, but since it was mostly downhill, we hardly had to pedal.
After coming down, having lunch (sandwiches) with all the participants in a small park was exceptional.
The eco-hiking afterward was amazing! We were allowed to walk on private land, and before entering, we were given rubber boots along with snacks like peanuts and dried fruits. I thought there might be some muddy spots, but we walked for about 30 minutes through a pretty muddy forest. Some people lost their balance and fell on their backs ( ゚Д゚). The destination was a small waterfall. It wasn't stunning, but I felt a sense of accomplishment from walking through the primeval forest. The snacks of peanuts and dried fruits we had there were exceptional.
The problem was... the return trip... We had to walk endlessly down through muddy paths. It felt more like walking through a bamboo forest than a primeval forest. My leg muscles definitely got a workout.
After reaching the foot of the mountain, I returned the muddy rubber boots and boarded the bus heading to Ala Moana Beach, where we dispersed. Some people continued on a cruise, but I got off there.
Being the only Japanese person, I experienced an overseas tour for the first time in a while!
自転車に乗りたくて応募しました。
参加してみると、日本人は私だけ。英語でのアナウンスだったので、注意深くいろいろ聞いてました。集合場所から車で山頂付近まで移動し、そこからマウンテンバイクにのって、ゆっくり下っていく。初心者でも問題ないです。途中に休憩をはさみながら行きますが、基本下りなのでペダルをこぐことはほとんどないです。
降りてきて、小さな公園で参加者皆さんとランチ(サンドイッチ)は格別です。
その後のエコハイキングがすごい!
私有地を歩かせてもらいましたが、そこに入る前に渡されたのは、長靴+お菓子ピーナッツ&ドライフルーツ。
多少ぬかるんでいるところもあるのかな?と思っていましたが、かなりぬかるんだ林の中を30分歩きました。途中バランスを崩して尻もちつく方もいらっしゃいました( ゚Д゚)
目的地は小さな滝です。見栄えはすばらしい!ってほどではないですが、原生林を歩いてきたという達成感が感じられます。ここで食べるお菓子ピーナッツ&ドライフルーツは格別です。
問題は・・・帰り。。。
足元がぬかるんでいる下りを延々と歩きます。原生林というより、竹林の中を歩きます
なかなか足の筋肉をつかいましたね。
ふもとまで降りてきて、どろんこ長靴を返却しバスに乗り込んでアラモアナビーチに向かい、そこで解散。
その後船にのってクルーズする方もいらっしゃいましたが、私はここで下車しました。

We all had a wonderful time and learned a lot about the island, plants and the culture of Oahu with Terry. We highly recommend the trip. It is a rustic hike to the beautiful waterfall, but very worth the hike, even in the rain and mud And our bike ride down the mountain had gorgeous scenery and was wind through your hair fun. We saw several sea turtles and different varieties of fish on the sail and snorkel on Captain Krash's catamaran. He was fun to sail with and Rudolph was very knowledgeable about the snorkeling as well as giving helpful knowledge about the island and city.
Good times! Glad you all enjoyed your trip with us.. Come back again soon and try another one of many experiences with special access to privately owned land.

We loved the downhill biking! It went by really quick, but we did enjoyed it. Wouldn't recommend it on its own, since it went by so quick. But in combination with the snorkelling was fantastic! Guides are very knowledgeable and respectful of the area. Swimming with turtles was a unique experience!

Beautiful and interesting hike through the lush rainforest but not at all physically challenging. Really enjoyed the hike but the downhill bike part was so boring! The guides pretty much wrapped us in cotton wool, they wouldn't let us go any faster than 5 miles (and it was purely downhill road, no cycling required!), and they kept stopping us for one reason or another. I'd recommend the tour though, the scenery was great and the guides knowledgeable and nice.
Aloha and mahalo for your comments. We find it fascinating how some guests find our waterfall hike difficult and others see it as a walk in the park. Either way, thank you for spending some of your Hawaiian vacation with us.

It rained quite a bit during our hike, but I was very satisfied to see the river swollen with water that you can only see on rainy days! My sneakers and jeans were soaked and muddy, but I really had a great time! We were in rain gear for part of the mountain biking, but after lunch, it cleared up, and it felt wonderful to ride down the mountain with the wind in my face. I’m really grateful for the kindness shown to us, even though we don’t speak English! Thank you very much!
ハイキング途中からかなりの雨でしたが、雨の日にしか見れない川の増水みれて大満足でしたっ☆
スニーカーもGパンも泥まみれの雨でぐっしょりでしたけど本当に楽しかったです!!マウンテンバイクも途中までカッパでしたがランチ以降晴れてきて風きって山を降りる感じとってもきもちよかったです
英語ができない私たちにも優しくしてくれて、とっても感謝です!ありがとうございました!!

This was a great adventure. Plan for the better part of the day. The hike seems odd at first because you start in a neighborhood. But once you are on the path it is a beautiful journey. It was a it rushed which was disappointing as it was hard to enjoy the surroundings and go fast. The bike ride was a lot of fun with awesome views of Diamond Head and Waikiki. The last part,snorkeling with Sea Turtles, was the absolute best. They are amazing creatures and would surface right next to us. When scheduling, ask for Elon. He did a great job for our group. Also, Terrii was an excellent tour guide when he joined us.
Mahalo for the nice comments.. Enjoy the rest of your vacation here in Hawaii nei
