Lots of fun! We enjoyed the adventure very much. Our driver to North Shore was wonderful and shared lots of interesting tidbits about the different famous sights (Lost, 50 First Dates, etc.). The only bummer was that our tour guides were very sassy. At times it was hard to tell if they were laughing with us OR at us.

I had been curious about Keana Farms every time I went to Hawaii. This time, with my husband's enthusiastic "Let's do it!" I made a big decision and booked it on my phone. We tried it as a family of three, and after just a brief explanation from a staff member who spoke a little Japanese, we started right away. There was no time to hesitate, and before we knew it, we were enjoying the experience in the air. We created fun memories filled with amusing episodes, like dropping the camera and needing help from the staff because we couldn't find the red string we were supposed to grab at the finish line. I'm a grandmother who is terrible at sports, usually skips amusement park attractions, has a fear of heights, and doesn't speak English, yet I still had a great time! I would love to do it again if the price were a bit lower! By the way, the camera was returned to the reception. Thank you!
ハワイへ行くたび気になっていたケアナファーム。今回は夫の、やろう!の一言で一大決心し、携帯で予約。娘と3人でトライしました。ちょっとだけ日本語ができるお姉さんの、超簡単な説明を聞いただけですぐにスタートし、躊躇う暇もなく、あれよあれよと言ううちに空中を楽しんでいた私たちです。カメラを落とすとか、ラインのゴールで掴むはずの赤いヒモがわからずスタッフに助けられるとか、面白エピソードつきの楽しい思い出ができました。スポーツまるでダメ、遊園地ののアトラクションもほぼパスの還暦ばあちゃん、しかも高所恐怖症、英語もできない、そんな私でも楽しめました! もう少し値段が安ければまたやりたい!

We participated as a family of four. We drove from Waikiki and met at the location. Once we got on the highway, the directions were easy to follow, and we arrived without any issues. Besides us, there were no other Asian guests, and all the instructions were in English, but the staff were all kind and communicated well with gestures, so it was fine. The zip line was incredibly exhilarating! The initial fear quickly turned into enjoyment after the first ride. My fifth-grade son even let go with both hands at times. Climbing the ropes along the way was tough for someone as weak as me, but a handsome staff member helped me, which was great. On the way back, we stopped by Haleiwa and had burgers before heading home. We really enjoyed our time in Hawaii.
家族4人で参加。ワイキキからレンタカーで現地集合しました。ハイウェイにのってしまえば、道もわかりやすくなんなくつけました。私たち以外はアジア人客がおらず、説明もぜんぶ英語のみでしたが、スタッフの方もみんな優しく身振り手振りで教えてくれるので大丈夫。ジップラインは超きもちいい!怖い気持ちは一回すれば慣れて、楽しさに変わります。小5の息子は手放ししたりしてました。途中のロープを登るのは、非力な私には辛かったですが、イケメンお兄さんが助けてくれるので、それもまたよしです。帰りは、ハレイワを回ってバーガー食べて帰りました。ハワイを満喫できました。

We participated as a family. Before joining, I was a bit worried that the height might be scary, but it was fine. There are seven zip lines and two suspension bridges, and the total time, including travel, is about two hours with explanations in English. The shuttle service is shared with other tours from Kualoa Ranch, and once you arrive, you check in on your own. I wasn't sure about the return bus schedule, so I asked at the entrance reception. We were picked up after 7 and returned to Honolulu around 2 PM.
家族で参加しました。参加する前は、高さがあったら怖いかなとも予想していましたが、大丈夫でした。7つのジップラインと2つのつりばしがあり、時間は移動時間も含めて2時間ぐらいで説明は英語です。送迎は、他のクアロア牧場のツアーの人と一緒で、現地に着いたら自分で受付などをします。帰りのバスの時間がわからず、入り口の受付で聞きました。7時過ぎのピックアップでホノルルに戻ってきたのが、2時頃でした。

After arriving at the location, I tried to make a reservation for the ZipLine at Kualoa Ranch, but it was fully booked until my return date. Just when I was in trouble, I found this ZipLine at Keana Farm online and was able to make a reservation through VELTRA. There were hardly any Asian guests besides us, and the English-only service heightened the overseas experience even more.

This was my second time on the zip line! It was amazing! I want to go again so badly!
It started to rain (a downpour?) halfway through, and I got completely soaked, but it only lasted about 10 minutes before the sky cleared up again. Of course, I didn't have a raincoat or anything, so I was wet the whole time. It was so much fun that I thought, "Anything goes!"
However, there was a problem with the pickup location. Even though I arrived on time, it seemed like they decided I wasn't there right away, and I ended up waiting for 30 minutes. I had to call them to finally get picked up, which was good, but this happened both the first and second time, and it was really frustrating.
I would have appreciated it if they could have specified the location more clearly or called out names to help with the pickup.
If I get the chance to go again, I would definitely like to participate!
ジップライン2回目です!最高です!
本当にもう一回行きたい!と思えほど最高です。
途中で雨(スコール?)が降って来て、びしょ濡れになりましたが、10分くらい降ってすぐまた快晴になりました。
もちろん、カッパなどはありませんので、ま濡れながらです。楽しいので、なんでもありって思っちゃいます!!
ただ、ピックアップの場所の指定が難ありです。集合時間に着いているのに、すぐ居ないと判断されたみたいで、30分経ってもずーっと待ちぼうけでした。
こちらが電話をしてなんとか、迎えに来てもらえたのでよかったですが、1回目も2回目もそんな状況で、本当に困ります。
もう少し具体的に、場所を指定してもらったり、名前を読み上げてもらったり、そんな対応をして頂けたらもっと嬉しかったです。

This is interesting. It has a moderate thrill and a bit of adventure. Each of the eight attractions has its own characteristics, and the two and a half hours flew by. Since it's located in the North, I definitely recommend renting a car and spending the day exploring places like Haleiwa afterward.

I had a very satisfying experience that I couldn't have in Japan. The driver explained various places in English on the way, and took us to famous spots for a little sightseeing.
After that, we arrived at the farm and checked in with an iPad. Since it was in English, I couldn't understand everything that was written, but I think it was an explanation of the risks.
It's also possible to take photos with your mobile phone. If there are measures in place to prevent it from falling, I definitely think you should bring it along.
It's a very expensive activity, but I believe it is worth the value.

We went as a family of five on June 17, 2017. Even though we don't speak English, it was not a problem at all. There were staff members at the front desk who spoke Japanese and provided detailed explanations to other Japanese guests as well. However, at the zip line location, it was English only, but it was interesting how we could somehow understand it. There are various poses for sliding, but since we were allowed to go after the others, just imitating the person in front of us was fine. The scenery is beautiful, so I think it's better to take your camera with you instead of leaving it in the locker. Even if you don't have one, the staff will take plenty of photos, but it comes at a cost. There is one spot where you have to climb up to the top of the tower using a rope by yourself, but the staff will help you, so there are no issues with progress. (The next day, I had muscle soreness.) As mentioned in other experiences, it does take time to travel from the Waikiki area, which is a downside, but you can sleep well on the way back. The scenery is absolutely amazing!
2017/6/17に家族5人で行ってきました。英語の喋れない私たちでも全く問題ありません。

それと一ヶ所だけ自分の力で塔の上までロープで登る所がありますが、スタッフがヘルプしてくれるので進行には問題ありません。(翌日は筋肉痛)他の体験談にもありますが、ワイキキ地区からは移動に時間がかかってしまうのは難点ですが、帰りの車は充分爆睡できますよ^^;

On May 31, 2017, my husband and I participated! Recently, ziplining has become popular in Japan, and we were very interested. At that time, I happened to find this perfect site while browsing and immediately made a reservation!
On the day of the event, they picked us up at a nearby hotel, and we headed to Keana Farm with the other participants! Besides us, all four other couples were from English-speaking countries, and our driver couldn't speak Japanese, which made us a bit anxious. However, there was an instructor on-site who was fluent in Japanese, which put us at ease.
We put on our gear and got started! I thought the first line would be a bit scary, but it turned out to be an amazing thrill! While moving around the farm in a buggy, the instructor was kind, fun, and safety-conscious, and before we knew it, our enjoyable time had flown by. I felt like Spider-Man amidst the magnificent nature of Hawaii.

A trip with three women in their forties.
A car with "Keana Farm" written on it came to pick us up.
Before we started, one friend who wasn't good at sports and was a bit afraid of heights ended up having a great time, even sliding upside down with hands off the harness at the end.
The staff accompanying us took photos—52 pictures of the three of us.
I attached a digital camera to my wrist to take pictures of my companions, but since I couldn't capture myself sliding, I ended up buying one.
They also sold original T-shirts from Keana Farm.
The point where we had to climb up using our arm strength was tough!
Personally, the scariest part for me was the point where we had to jump down about 3 to 4 meters.
Of course, there was a safety harness, and staff were there to catch us, but I couldn't keep my knees straight and ended up sitting down on landing. How embarrassing!

This was our first time Ziplining but will not be our last! We wanted to have a great family vacation that we would talk about and laugh at for years to come and this was the perfect way to start our trip in Hawaii! The guides were funny, friendly and always kept safety first...I really appreciated that. My kids are daredevils so flying over trees, being held by a metal "rope" was no biggie for them. I am a much more conservative person so I needed a bit of encouragement - which I got and I am so glad that I threw up my chaka and had fun.
This is a MUST do if you are ever in the area. The views of the ocean are beyond amazing, flying over trees and smelling the sweet air is wonderful and just being in paradise does the soul good!
We did not even realize how much "work" we did climbing, ziplining and walking over the two hours. And it was two hours but we were having so much fun we did not realize... I guess that time does fly when you are having fun!
This is a must do and redo!

I decided to go on a trip to Hawaii and thought, "I want to do something adventurous!" That's when I remembered Kualoa Ranch, which I had been curious about after seeing photos on social media. Kualoa Ranch is a theme park that offers activities in the mountains, valleys, and ocean, and its stunning landscapes, often chosen as filming locations for movies like "Jurassic Park," give it a sense of hidden paradise.
While horseback riding and ATV tours looked interesting, I decided to try ziplining this time.
**Schedule**
11:30 AM - Arrive at the visitor center and check in
12:30 PM - Gather → Drive to the zipline base
1:50 PM - Briefing and gear fitting
2:00 PM - 3:30 PM - Ziplining
4:00 PM - Depart Kualoa Ranch
5:00 PM - Arrive at the hotel
After arriving around 11:30 AM and checking in, we took a break until the gathering time. The visitor center has a cafeteria where you can enjoy light snacks and buffet dishes (like stir-fried meat) or buy souvenirs. They even sell vacuum-packed beef that seems to be from the ranch, which is relatively cheap for Hawaii's high prices. If you're planning a barbecue, I thought it would be a great buy.
During the drive from the visitor center to the zipline base, the driver explained the features of the ranch and which movies were filmed there (in English). Along the way, we saw people riding ATVs and horseback riding, but with ziplining, you can venture deeper into the valleys, making the journey itself a bit of an adventure.
I participated with my sister, and there were eight of us in the group, mostly in their 40s and 50s, along with three staff members. All explanations were in English, but there was also a Japanese explanation video available for viewing on an iPad.
The harness you wear has a substantial weight, and the path from the base to the zipline area is a bit of a mountain trail, which might be tough for those with weak legs. However, gliding through the magnificent scenery is simply exhilarating. Since there isn't much elevation difference between the starting and ending points of the zipline, you don't experience that nauseating feeling like you do on roller coasters or bungee jumps.
I was a bit anxious, wondering if just sliding down would be fun, but the staff encouraged us to try various poses and even take chances for fun.
They took photos of us with cameras set up along the way (this photo-taking became a challenge to see how funny of a pose we could strike at the right moment), and you can purchase them at the end (I think it was around $30). It was a surprisingly enjoyable time. Next time, I want to try an activity that overlooks Kualoa Ranch from the sea.
**Notes**
- It might be good to have insect repellent.
- You can get sunburned even in the mountains, so sunscreen is essential (especially on the back of your neck).
ハワイ旅行が決まって、「何かアドベンチャー感のあるアクティビティをやりたい!」
と思っていたところ、SNSで写真を見て気になっていたクアロア牧場を思い出しました。
クアロア牧場は山、谷、海のアクティビティを揃えたテーマパークで、映画「ジュラシックパーク」などのロケ地に選ばれるなど、秘境感のある景観が魅力です。
乗馬やバギーも面白そうだったのですが、今回はジップラインに挑戦することにしました。
【スケジュール】
11:30 ビジターセンター到着・チェックイン
12:30 集合→ジップライン・ベースに車で移動
13:50 説明・装備装着
14:00-15:30 ジップライン
16:00 クアロア牧場出発
17:00 ホテル着
11:30頃到着してチェックインした後は、集合時間まで休憩。
ビジターセンターにはカフェテリアがあって、軽食やビュッフェ料理(お肉をいためたものとか)をいただいたり、お土産を買ったりすることができます。牧場産と思しき真空パックの牛肉(塊)なんかも売っていて、物価の高いハワイにしては安い。バーベキューを予定しているなら、ぜひ買いたいなーと思いました。
ビジターセンターからジップライン・ベースまでの移動中は、ドライバーさんが牧場内の特徴やどんな映画のロケに使われたのか説明(英語)してくれます。途中、バギーや乗馬をしている人たちの姿も見えましたが、ジップラインの場合はさらに谷の奥の方まで入っていけるようで、移動自体もちょっとした冒険でした。
私は妹と二人で参加したのですが、40代・50代の方中心に8名のパーティーで行動。
そこに3名のスタッフがついてくれます。説明はすべて英語ですが、日本語による説明動画も用意されています(ipadで閲覧)。
身に着けるハーネスは重量感がありますし、ベースからジップラインの場所まではちょっとした山道になっていて、足腰が弱い人は辛いかもしれませんが、風を切って壮大な景色の中を滑り降りるのはただただ爽快。
ジップラインの起点と着地点でそれほど高低差がないので、ジェットコースターやバンジージャンプのように落ちるような気持ち悪い感覚はありません。
「ひたすら滑り降りるだけで面白いんだろうか…」と不安でしたが、さまざまなポーズに挑戦したり、運だめしに挑戦したりとスタッフの方々が盛り上げてくれます。
滑り降りる途中に設置されたカメラで写真を撮ってくれて(この撮影で、タイミングよく、いかに面白いポーズをとれるかがひとつのチャレンジでもある)、最期に購入することもできます。(たしか30ドルくらい)
想像以上に楽しいひと時でした。
今度は海からクアロア牧場を望むアクティビティに挑戦したいです。
【メモ】
・虫よけスプレーがあるとよいかも。
・山でも結構日に焼けるので、日焼け止め必須(特に首の後ろ)。

We traveled from the ranch to the zipline base camp by a dedicated bus. There are no windows, so it feels open, but you might get wet if it rains. Along the way, there are also guides about movie filming locations, making the journey enjoyable.
In the group we participated with, we were the only Japanese. The explanations were entirely in English, but they show a Japanese video for the zipline instructions, so you can rest assured.
When we participated, there was a heavy rain, but we went ahead anyway! It cleared up at times, but we had a valuable zipline experience in the downpour. During the transfers between points, we crossed suspension bridges, adding to the fun. I would love to participate again when the weather is nice.
There is a service that takes photos at each point. You receive the data, and the prices are:
1 photo for $15,
3 photos for $35,
all data for $60.
We only purchased 3 photos.
An email is sent right away, allowing you to reminisce about the experience.
What do you all think?
牧場から、専用バスで、ジップラインのベースキャンプ地まで、移動。窓がないので、開放的ですが、雨の時は、濡れちゃいます。途中、映画のロケ地の案内なんかもあり、道中も楽しいです。
参加したグループに、日本人は、私たちだけでした。
終始、英語の説明ですが、ジップラインの説明は、日本語の動画を見せてくれますので、ご安心を。
私たちが、参加したときは、豪雨でしたが、強行しました!途中晴れたりもしましたが、豪雨の中での、貴重なジップライン経験ができました。
ポイントとの移動時には、吊り橋なんかも通り、楽しみながら、参加してきました。晴れている時に、また参加してみたいです。
各ポイントで、写真撮ってくれるサービスがあります。
データで、もらいますが、
1枚 15ドル
3枚 35ドル
データすべて 60ドルです。
私たちは、3枚だけ購入しました。
すぐに、メールが送られてくるので、思い出でにひたれます。
みなさん、いかがでしょうか??

I experienced this in late April 2017. I love heights and am a big fan of zipline activities. I saw it on TV and immediately researched and made a reservation. During my stay in Honolulu, I didn't rent a car, so I opted for a plan that included transportation.
On the day of the activity, the pickup arrived about 10 minutes past the scheduled time. They came in a wrapped car that had "North Shore Kahana Farm" written on it, which made it easy to identify. There were two groups of Japanese people: my husband and I, and two young women, while the other eight participants plus the driver were all foreigners. On the way, the driver took us to a spot with a stunning view of the ocean. He even drove us into his home, where he mentioned he had a small role in the movie Jurassic Park (I might have misunderstood due to my limited English), and we got to enjoy his bragged-about scenic view.
I felt a bit guilty towards the kind driver because I was sleepy from the early morning, and I dozed off along the way, only to wake up when we arrived. We registered each participant on an iPad, stored our belongings, put on helmets and other gear, and then it was time to go.
I've experienced ziplining in Chichibu, Japan, but the height, distance, and scenery here are superior! There are courses where you zipline over quite a long distance, and the views were beautiful and very enjoyable. In Chichibu, there were no staff, and you had to manage the equipment yourself, but here, three staff members from the farm (one of whom spoke Japanese) accompanied us, helping with the equipment and the retrieval after the zipline, which made it very convenient.
They taught us various techniques, like letting go of the hands, flipping over, and curling up to gain speed, allowing us to enjoy diverse zipping experiences. I regretted forgetting my phone case that hangs around the neck, but I think it's better not to have a smartphone if you're going to flip over.
As a tip, for the second zipline and onwards, grab the red cord just before reaching the goal. It seems to help the staff with the retrieval. Also, if you don't reach a certain speed, you might stop before reaching the goal. In such cases, the staff will assist you manually (with their legs?), so there's no need to worry. After finishing, we had some waiting time in the car, and I was glad I brought Spam musubi from ABC Mart. Lastly, the staff takes photos during the zipping, which you can purchase. They cost $15 for one, $30 for two to three, and $45 for four or more (or all of them).
I hope everyone creates wonderful memories too!
2017.4月下旬に体験。高いところが大好きでジップラインアクティビティが大好物の私。テレビで見てすぐに調べて予約しました。ホノルル滞在中、レンタカーをとらなかったので送迎付きプランで申し込みました。
当日、指定時間の10分過ぎ頃にお迎えが来ました。ノースショアケアナファームとかなんとか書いてあるラッピングカーで来てくれるので分かりやすいです。私たち夫婦と若い女性2名の2組が日本人で、それ以外の8名+運転手さんは全員外国人の方でした。行きの車ではすごくきれいに海が見える場所にもつれていってくださいました。映画ジュラシックパークにちょっとのったという運転手さんの自宅(私のつたない英語力なので間違っているかも)にも車でひゅっと入ってくれて、ご自慢の絶景を私たちも拝ませてもらいました。
そんな親切な運転手さんには申し訳なかったのですが、朝早くて眠かったので途中からうとうとしていたらいつのまにか到着。iPadで参加者ごとに登録手続きを行い、荷物を預け、ヘルメットなど装備をつけてもらっていざ出陣。
日本では秩父のジップラインを経験したことがありますが、高さも距離も景色もこちらが格上です!かなり長い距離をジップラインで滑走するコースもありますが、景色もきれいでとても楽しかったです。秩父は係員はおらず自分で器具をかけて回るのですが、こちらはファームの方3人(うち1人は日本語が話せる方でした)が必ずついてくださって、器具をかけるのも滑走の回収もしてくださるので、とっても楽ちんでした。
手を離したり、ひっくり返ったり、ちぢこまってスピードが出るようにしたりといろいろ教えてもらって多様な滑走を楽しみました。当日、首からぶら下げるタイプの携帯ケースを忘れて後悔したのですが、ひっくり返ったりするならばスマホはない方が良いと思いました。
補足ですが、2本目以降のジップラインはゴール直前時、赤いひもをつかみましょう。係員さんが回収してくれるのに役立っているみたいです。あと、スピードがある程度でていないと、ゴールまでたどり着く前に止まることがあるみたいです。そんなときも、係員さんが人力(足力?)で助けてくれるので心配ご無用です。あと、終了後、車の中で出発前の待ち時間があったのですがABCマートのスパムむすびを持って行って正解でした。さいごに、係員さんが滑走時等の写真を撮ってくださるのですが、購入可能です。1枚15ドル、2〜3枚30ドル、4枚以上(全部も)45ドルでした。
みなさんも是非素敵な思い出にしてください!

The car we were concerned about arrived almost on time, and it was easy to recognize because it was a wrapped bus with photos. The staff, noticing that we couldn't speak English well, explained things using simple English words. I also felt that even in a relaxed atmosphere, they paid close attention to safety. I wrote "ski lift" because the safety device connects to the cable and puts you in a seated position. The speed is different, though... I had a refreshing feeling and a bit of fatigue, and I had a really enjoyable time. I highly recommend it.
懸念していたお迎えの車も、ほぼ時間通りに到着、写真入りのラッピングバスなのですぐにわかりました。
スタッフの方はこちらが英会話ができないとわかると、易しい英単語を使って説明してくれます。
また、ラフな雰囲気のなかでも安全には細心の注意が払われていると感じました。
スキーリフトと書いたのは、安全装置はケーブルに接続すると座ったような状態になるからです。スピードは違いますが…。
爽快感と少しの疲労感、とっても楽しい時間が過ごせました。おすすめです。
