Oahu
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.

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。
Wow! This was way better than we had expected.
I definitely felt that I conquered my fear of heights and learned how to work together as a team.
The staff was very professional and made us all feel like active members. We will definitely do this again
We have ziplined several times and this by far was the best!
I experienced a new attraction that just opened in Hawaii. I took a rental car, but it took longer than I expected (1 hour and 20 minutes), and I arrived just in time. I hurriedly checked in, put on my seatbelt, and started with vague explanations. However, whether it was special or just good timing, a staff member who spoke Japanese accompanied us and provided explanations along the way. The reception staff were all very kind.
The weather was rainy, windy, and cold. However, when I posed for photos while sliding with the North Shore in the background, we were lucky enough to have a break in the clouds, allowing for some wonderful commemorative shots, which really boosted my spirits. This is an attraction that you should definitely experience.
It became my best memory from this trip to Hawaii.
今回ハワイに新しく登場したとのことで、早速体験してみました。
レンタカーで行ったら、思ったよりも時間がかかり(1h20)ギリギリ到着。焦ってエントリーして、安全ベルトとか装着して、説明も曖昧でスタートしました。でも、特別なのか、タイミングがよかったのか、日本語が分かるスタッフさんが同行し都度説明してくれました。受付スタッフも皆んな優しかったです。
天気は雨で風が強く寒かったです。でも、ノースショアをバックにポーズつけて滑る時は、運良く晴れ間が出て、素敵な記念撮影ができ、めちゃくちゃテンション上がりましたぁ。体験すべきアトラクションです。
今回のハワイで1番の思い出になりました。
I had a great time! The mountain roads traveled by Jeep were exciting, and the zip line experience offered amazing views and was very enjoyable!
However, I didn't understand much of the information from the instructor due to my limited English.
It’s not a problem if you don’t understand English for the instructions.
As a recommendation, since the activity ends in the early afternoon, I think it’s a good idea to bring onigiri, bread, and drinks!
We got stuck in traffic and returned to the hotel at 3:30 PM after a 7:45 AM pickup. It can be tough to be hungry with nothing to eat.
We brought a small cooler and a water bottle, and we took maki sushi and bananas from ABC!
大変楽しませていただきましたぁ!ジープでの移動の山道もワクワクする感じでしたし、ジップラインもすごく眺めの良い気持ちいい体験ができました!
ただ、英語がほぼ分からないため インストラクターの方の色々な情報が??????でした
やり方などは英語が分からなくても問題ないです
オススメとしてはお昼過ぎに終わる為 オニギリやパン、飲み物など持参するといいと思います!
渋滞にはまったりして朝7:45のピックアップからホテルに帰ったのは15:30でした。何もないと空腹で辛いと思います。
私達は クーラーバック小さい水筒を持参し、ABCで巻き寿司とバナナを持って行きました!
It was a satisfying experience tour that lasted about two and a half hours without getting bored! Although there were many Japanese people on the Hawaii tour, the fact that there weren't too many added to the fun. The gradual bonding of our multinational group (10 people) was also one of the highlights of the overseas tour. This is definitely an activity you should try!
約二時間半程の工程を飽きる事無く、大満足な体験ツアーでした!
日本人が多いハワイツアーですが、あまり居なかった事も楽しい要素で、一緒の組(10名)の多国籍関係が徐々に一体となっていくのも海外ツアーの醍醐味。
絶対やってみるべきアクティビティです。
As per I mentioned in title of this review, "Zipline & secret island" is the most reasonable entertainment that I'd ever had.
If you looking for following experiences/ memories, you rather choose zip than any other activities.
A) Having extreme entertainment and full adrenaline. (ATV, horse ride and others can not beat zip)
B) Seeing beautiful Honolulu nature and Hollywood filming location (The location of zipline is a little far away and you can see the filming location and beautiful scenery when you move there)
C) Learning Hawaiian culture (Every station in zip line has Hawaiian name and guides will tell you story relating to the name)
I guarantee you that you can kill three birds with one zipline!
We had an awesome afternoon doing the ziplines. Highly suggest that you bring/wear insect repellent as the mosquitoes were quite bad. We also didn't realise that Kualoa Ranch is the film location for many tv shows and movies, so we felt like we got a bonus with the bus ride in and the info from the driver of all the famous shows. The guides were great - very informative and clearly enjoyed their jobs.
I heard about the new zipline attraction in Hawaii and was looking forward to it as the main event of my short trip. After driving about 10 minutes from Kualoa Ranch and turning left at a small sign, I found a new facility that still felt fresh.
Thanks to the latest equipment, we checked in and confirmed our agreement to the safety regulations using a touch panel on the wall (in English), stored our belongings, weighed ourselves, and put on safety belts. Our group consisted of 10 guests and 3 zipline staff, and we had a great time throughout. I really felt that if I had been more proficient in English, I could have enjoyed it even more. Being able to speak English would have allowed me to joke around with the staff during the zipline and engage in conversations with the other group members, making for an even more enjoyable experience! However, even without English skills, the attraction is so exhilarating that there's no doubt you'll have fun!!
The zipline allows you to glide while safely suspended by ropes, which may not be suitable for those who are afraid of heights, but it gives you the feeling of being Tarzan in the great outdoors, allowing you to fully enjoy the sea and mountains of Hawaii! The staff also took fun photos during the attraction, which you can purchase later, so it's okay if you forget your camera and still want to participate in the attraction.
If I have the chance, I would definitely like to join again!!
ハワイで新アトラクションとして登場したジップラインと聞き、今回の短期旅行のメインイベントとして楽しみにしていました。
クアロア牧場より車でさらに10分くらい行ったところで小さな看板を左折すると、その先に広がるのは、まだ新しさを感じさせる新施設がありました。
最新設備のため壁に付いたタッチパネルで受付や安全規約への同意確認をし(英語です)、荷物を預け、体重測定をして安全ベルトを装着しました。我々お客10人とジップラインのスタッフ3人が1グループで行動し、終始楽しく遊べました。受付からジップラインの終わりまで「英語が堪能だったらもっともっと楽しめたんだろうなぁ」と痛感しました。英語ができれば冗談を言いながらジップライン中のスタッフとも、一緒になったグループのメンバーとも会話が弾みより楽しい時間を過ごせたと思います!ただ、英語が出来なくても、アトラクションが爽快なので楽しめること間違いなしです!!
ジップラインは安全を確保された中でロープで吊るされて滑り、高いところが苦手な人は不向きですが、大自然の中でターザンになったような気分でハワイの海と山を満喫できす!
アトラクション中の楽しいところをスタッフのカメラで撮っておいてくれて、後で購入することもできるので、カメラを忘れてアトラクションに参加しても大丈夫です。
機会があれば、ぜひまた参加したいです!!
It was very fun. At first, I was a little scared, but gradually it became enjoyable, and in the end, the kids were even upside down. Please be sure to experience it.
とても楽しかったです、
はじめは少し怖かったけれど、だんだんと楽しくなり最後は子供達も逆さになったりと
是非体験してください。
The Keana Farm zipline was amazing. I chose this place because it was the only zipline with transportation included, and it was the right choice. Japanese is basically not understood, but the three instructors were very friendly, and I was very satisfied.
ケアナファームジップライン最高。送迎付きジップラインはケアナファームしかなかったのでここを選択しましたが、正解でした。
日本語は基本的に通じませんが、3人のインストラクターはとてもフレンドリーで大満足でした。
However, that's what makes it interesting. I've done zip-lining in Japan as well, but the distance and scenery here are incomparable. You should definitely experience it.
しかしそこが面白い。日本でもZIPラインをやったことがありますが、距離と景色が比べ物になりません。是非体験してください。
I’m not good at English at all, but I thought I could manage by watching the people around me, so I gave it a try. Everyone except me was a foreigner, and the explanations were all in English.
At one point, I was told to grab the red cord when I reached the goal. If I didn’t, I would be pulled back like in bungee jumping and wouldn’t be able to return. The instructor worked hard to help me, but I ended up in tears… However, it was so much fun that I want to do it again!
英語全くダメなんですが、周りの人達見てたらなんとかなるだろうと挑戦。私以外、みんな外人の方で説明も英語。
途中で、言われますがゴールする時赤い紐を掴んで下さい。バンジーの様に戻され戻れなくなります。インスタラクターの方が一緒懸命戻してくれましたが、涙目になりました…でも、またやりたいと思うぐらい楽しかったです!
I had wanted to try this for a long time, and this was my first time participating! Our group met at 8:30 AM, and we started at 9. We drove there with a rental car. After arriving, we managed to check the consent form at the check-in monitor, put our wallets in the safe box for valuables, checked our bags at the luggage counter, and took care of the restroom. I hung my phone around my neck because I wanted to take pictures. Then, we were fitted with harnesses for sliding, put on helmets, and waited for the time to start. There were seven participants, including us, all from the mainland United States, along with three staff members. The staff were all friendly and attentive, checking in on us even though we didn't speak English, using gestures and confirming our understanding, which made us feel at ease during the experience! We practiced on a short course first, and then moved on to the next location by jeep. During the ride, they talked about various plants on the farm. We slid down seven courses, changing our positions and eating bananas and tomatoes along the way! It felt amazing! When they asked if it was good in Japanese, I replied, "イイネ!" (Good!). I was worried because I’m a bit overweight and not very fit besides my lack of English, but there was a course where we had to climb with a rope, and even though it was a short distance, I felt exhausted and thought, "I can't do this!" When I called out for help, they laughed and came to assist me! It was so much fun! I bought a T-shirt and a few photos, and received the photos via email by lunchtime! The price was a bit high, but the pictures turned out great! I want to do it again!
前からやってみたくて、今回初めて参加しました!私達の回は朝の8:30集合で、開始が9時。レンタカーで自分達で行きました。到着してからはチェックインモニターでなんとか同意書のチェックをして、貴重品用のセーフボックスにお財布を入れ、荷物用のカウンターに荷物を預け、トイレも済ませておきます。携帯は写真撮りたくて首からさげました。それから滑る用の綱を付けて貰い、ヘルメットを被り、時間になるのを待ちました。体験者は私達を入れた7人で、全員アメリカ本土の方。それにスタッフさんが3人居ました。スタッフの方は皆気さくで、英語のできない私達にも気を配ってくれて、ジェスチャー入れたり、わかったか確認してくれたり、色々フォローしてくれているのがわかり、安心して体験することが出来ました!最初に短いコースを練習して、そこからジープ?で移動しました。移動中は色々ファームの植物のことを話してくれてました。7本のコースを滑り、体勢を変えたり、バナナやトマトを食べたりしながら進みました!すごく気持ち良かった‼︎GOODの日本語を聞かれたので、イイネ!と、答えました!笑。私は太っちょで英語の他に体力が無いのも不安材料でしたが、途中ロープでよじ登るコースがあり、短い距離ながらもへこたれて、もう無理!と思ってヘルプミー‼︎と言ったら、笑って助けてくれました!とっても楽しく行けました‼︎Tシャツと写真を何枚か購入し、お昼にはメールで写真が届きました!値段ははりますが、いいのが撮れてました!またやりたいです‼︎
The people who went us as instructors where very funny and full of character. It made the trip fun and super exciting.
I went to Hawaii for the first time, combining it with our honeymoon.
We stayed at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani. For transportation to Kualoa Ranch, we used TheBus. We took the bus around 6:30 AM and transferred near Ala Moana (make sure to get a transfer ticket from the driver when you board), and the journey took about an hour and a half. The bus was quite cold, so it's necessary to prepare a jacket. The bus stop near Kualoa Ranch faced the ocean and was very beautiful.
Once inside the park, there is a shop and cafeteria, and after passing through there, we checked in. The explanation was in English, but we received materials in Japanese, so it was manageable. Lockers are available for free only for zipline participants.
We gathered at the designated spot and departed around 9:15 AM. We took a bus for about 15 minutes to the zipline location. During the ride, the guide introduced tourist spots in English.
When we arrived at the zipline station, we stored our bags in lockers, received a harness explanation, put on the harness, and got instructions in English until we were ready to go.
Since the guides and participants were all English speakers, it might be a bit tough if you don't have language skills... However, you'll manage as you go along.
The course includes a total of seven types of ziplines, two suspension bridges, and a short hike (about two minutes at most). A white couple over 60 was doing it effortlessly, so it might be okay even if you're not very fit. During the zipline, there are cameras set up to take photos, which you can purchase later (one photo for $15, three for $35, or all for $50). The experience was incredibly thrilling, with a sense of unity with nature and a feeling of liberation. If you have language skills, I think you can enhance your connection with the guides and participants even more. It might just be a coincidence, but everyone seemed to enjoy joking around.
After the zipline, we returned to the station to take off the harness, purchase photos, and retrieve our belongings. We then took a different route back by bus, so we could enjoy the scenery from the windows without getting bored.
We returned around noon and had lunch at the cafeteria in the main building. The portion sizes were smaller than expected compared to other places.
The return bus was significantly delayed, and we waited for nearly an hour. Since it was during the day, it was full, and we couldn't find seats. I wouldn't recommend using TheBus for families with small children or those with mobility issues.
If you're not good at English at all, it might be a bit tough, but I think it's manageable if you have a proactive attitude toward solving problems.
初めてのハワイ、新婚旅行を兼ねて行ってきました。
宿泊場所は、シェラトンプリンセスカイウラニ。
クアロア牧場までの移動は、TheBusを利用しました。行きは0630頃のバスに乗り、アラモアナ周辺で乗り換え(乗り換え券が必要なので、乗車時に運転手から貰う様に)、道中1時間半ぐらいの道のりです。バスの中は大変寒く、上着の準備が必要です。
クアロア牧場近くのバス停は海に面しており大変綺麗でした。
園内に入ると物販&食堂があり、そこを抜け、チェックインをします。説明は英語ですが、日本語の資料を貰えますので、何とかなります。
ロッカーは、ジップライン参加者のみ無料で借りれます。
所定の場所に集まり、0915頃いざ出発。
ジップラインの場所まで園内を15分程バスで移動。道中は、ガイドが英語で観光地を紹介してくれます。
ジップラインの詰所に着いたら、ロッカーに荷預け、ハーネス説明、ハーネス着装、乗るまで、滑り降りるまでの説明を英語で受けます。
ガイド、参加者は英語圏の方ばかりですので、語力が無いとちょっときついかも…しかし、やっている内に何とかなります。
コースは、全7種のジップラインに加え、2箇所の吊り橋、道中の登山(長くて2分程度)となります。
60歳を超えた白人夫婦が悠々と出来てたので、体力が無くても大丈夫かも。
ジップライン中、設置されたカメラで撮影があり、後ほど購入することができます。(1枚$15、3枚$35、全て$50)
内容は、凄い刺激的で自然との一体感、開放感があり楽しめました。
語力があれば、ガイド、参加者と一体感を更に高めることが出来ると思います。たまたまかもしれませんが、皆さん、冗談が好きなようで。
ジップラインが終われば、詰所に戻りハーネス脱着、写真購入、荷物受け取りとなり、その後バスで戻りますが、行きと経路を変えてくれるので、車窓からの景色も飽きず楽しめます。
変えて12時頃戻り、最初建物の食堂でランチをしました。思ったより他店より量は少なめでした。
帰りのバスは、遅れが凄く1時間近く待ちました。日中ということもあり、満席で座ることができませんでした。小さなお子さんや脚が悪い方は、TheBusの使用は勧めません。
全く英語がダメな方はちょっときついかもしれませんが、積極的に解決する姿勢であれば問題ないと思います。
The scenery was beautiful with both the sea and the mountains, and it felt great. There were about ten people in our group, but everyone else was foreign. I didn't fully understand the explanations of the precautions since they were only in English, but I was still able to enjoy myself! Mahalo!
海に山にとても景色が良く気持ち良かったです。
10人ほどのグループでしたが、我々以外は全員外国人でした。
注意事項の説明も英語のみでよく分かりませんでしたが、楽しむ事は出来ました!
mahalo!
I participated first thing in the morning!
I checked out using the tablet at the reception.
Including ourselves, there were three groups of nine people and three instructors.
Everything was explained in English, but they also used gestures, so it was enjoyable.
You can take photos, but the number is limited.
Also, it might be a bit pricey at $15 for one photo and $30 for three (laughs).
Purchasing is optional, so if you find something you like, definitely go for it.
The buggies along the way were thrilling and fun!
朝一で参加してきました!
受付にあるタブレットからチェックアウトします。
自分たちを含めて3組9人とインストラクターさん3人とまわりました。
すべて英語でも説明ですが、ジェスチャーも加えて説明してくれますので
楽しく行えました。
写真も撮っていただけますが、枚数は少な目です。
また1枚15ドル、3枚で30ドルとちょっとお高めかも(笑)
購入は自由なので気に入るものがありましたら是非。
途中のバギーも迫力があり楽しかったです!
This was something that would take your breath away when zipping. It was so exciting and a lot to see.
Everything was explained in English, but they taught us using gestures and simple words. The staff were very cheerful, and even though all the participants were foreigners, we all had a great time together! Of course, enjoying the breathtaking views was wonderful, but climbing and descending using ropes and crossing the suspension bridge were all fun too! I highly recommend it!
説明などは全て英語でしたが、ジェスチャーや簡単な単語で教えてくれました。スタッフの方もとても明るく、参加者は全員外国人でしたが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、ロープを使って登ったり降りたり吊り橋を渡ったり、全て楽しかったです♡おすすめです!
You can enjoy both the magnificent scenery and the zip line. The entry is in English on a tablet, so it's a bit hard to understand. It took about five days for the photos to be uploaded after I requested them.
雄大な景色とジップラインの両方が楽しめる。
エントリーがタブレット(英語)なので少しわかりにくい。
写真を頼んでからサーバーにアップされるまで5日くらいかかった。
This was our second time and it was another great experience. I would recommend this to everyone.
My first time on a zip line. I participated with my wife, and it was so much fun. At first, I was nervous, but once you slide once, you quickly get used to it. Our group consisted of eight foreigners and the two of us, totaling ten people. The oldest participants were probably a couple in their 70s, which was quite surprising. However, we all managed to enjoy the zip tour together safely. The guides explained everything in English, so I didn't understand everything, but it wasn't a problem as I could follow along by watching their gestures. Along the zip line, there were places to drink water and enjoy natural nuts, as well as snacks like tomatoes and apple bananas, adding a bit of a walking atmosphere to the experience. One of the guides was called "Captain," and he really livened up the tour. If you go next time, try to find that Captain. If you meet him and say "いっぱいたのしい" (it's so much fun) in Japanese, I think you'll become friends right away. I plan to participate again if I have the chance.
生まれて初めてのZIPLine。妻と二人で参加しましたが、とっても楽しかったです。最初は緊張しますが、1回滑ればすぐに慣れます。私らの組は、外国人の方8名と私たちの10名でした。最高年齢は、たぶん70代の老夫婦の方で、こちらの方が、もうビックリでした。でも無事、皆で楽しくZIPツアーを体験することができました。ガイドは全員が英語で説明されるので、内容はよく分かりませんが、身振りを見ていれば問題ありません。ZIPLineの途中で、水を飲める場所や自然のナッツを食べれたり、トマトやアップルバナナをつまめるなど、ちょっとした散歩的な雰囲気も味うことができます。ガイドさんの中に「隊長」と言われる方いて、ツアーを盛り上げてくれました。今度行かれる方は、その隊長を探してみてください。隊長と逢えたら「いっぱいたのしい」と日本語で言えば、直ぐに仲良くなると思います。また機会があれば、参加しようと思っております。
There are fewer Japanese speakers, and most of the explanations are in English, but that's great! I can't speak English, but the staff is friendly, and the international participants are wonderful. I'm a bit anxious about the pickup always taking more than 30 minutes, but since it's Hawaii time, it doesn't bother me. The scenery is amazing! Even with a little rain, it's still fantastic! My friend, who was scared at first, mastered the backward leg lift by the end! They were shouting "Always climb!" during our stay in Hawaii.
日本の方が少なく、ほとんどの説明が英語ですが、それがいい!
英語は話せませんが、スタッフがフレンドリーに接してくれるし、参加者の海外の方も、最高です。ピックアップが、いつも30分以上、待たないといけないのが不安になります。ハワイタイムなので気になりませんが。
景色も最高!少し雨が降っても最高!怖がっていた友人も最後は後ろ向きの足上げをマスター!
Always climb!とハワイ滞在中叫んでいました。
Do yourself a favor and do this! Amazing fun and test you a little.
As others have mentioned, absolutely no Japanese was understood! Aside from us, all the participants were foreigners.
During the pickup, there was a slight delay, but since they called out "Zipline!" there was no confusion.
Because the location was in the North, the weather was unstable, and it started pouring rain halfway through. I didn't bring a change of clothes, so I ended up soaking wet and had to buy a T-shirt there. I think it's better to bring a change of clothes when the weather looks questionable. Also, while traveling in the jeep, mud splattered everywhere, making me all muddy.
The mud was quite sticky, so my jeans, T-shirt, and shoes got really dirty. It would have been nice if it had been sunny, but please be careful after rain or when it’s raining (laughs).
There were only a few snack and juice vending machines on site, and while there were some water and bananas available along the way, they didn't look appetizing, so I didn't eat them. It might be a good idea to bring some light snacks if lunch is going to be late.
Since it was my first time on a zipline, I had a lot of fun.
他の方が書いてらした通り、全く日本語が通じません!参加者も私達以外は全て外人さんでした。
ピックアップの時はやはり少し遅れてのお迎えでしたが”ジップライン!”と呼んで頂けたので、迷う事はありませんでした。
場所がノースだった為、お天気が不安定で途中から大雨でした。着替え等を持って行ってなかったので、ビショビショになり向こうでTシャツを買う事になりまた。お天気が怪しい時は着替えを持参した方がいいと思います。あと、ジープでの移動中も泥が飛んで来てベチョベチョになりました。
泥がねっちょりしてるので、ジーパンやTシャツや靴の汚れが酷かったです。
晴れていたら良かったのでしょうが、雨や雨上がりの後は気を付けて下さいね(笑)
現地にはちょっとしたスナックやジュースの販売機しかないので、(途中にお水やバナナは置いてありましたが、食べようとは思えない状態だったので、食べてません)お昼がまたがる時は軽食持参がいいかもです。
ジップライン自体が初めてだったので、楽しかったです。
We booked the North Shore Keana Farms Zipline Adventure (7 lines) / Standard (with transportation) for four people at my daughter's request. On the day of the tour, the shuttle bus arrived an hour late at the pickup location. (I could communicate in English a bit, so I was able to call multiple times to ask about the delay, but regular Japanese tourists would have been left feeling anxious with no way to get information.) After that, the vehicle we departed in had a flat tire on the coastal road, which almost led to a serious accident! We had to deal with another vehicle in a panic! Although we were initially told we would return by 2:00 PM, we were alarmed to hear it might be around 5:00 PM, which caused us to rush to cancel our dinner reservation. In the end, we returned around 3:00 PM. While the activity itself was somewhat satisfying, I believe the level of pickup service and ensuring the safety of travelers was extremely low. We would not recommend this tour to others.
ノースショア・ケアナファーム ジップライン・アドベンチャー(7本) / スタンダード(送迎付きプラン)に娘の希望で4人申し込みました。当日送迎バスが一時間遅れでピックアップ場所に到着。(多少の英会話ができるのでTELで何度も遅れについて聞けましたが一般の日本人旅行者では何もできず不安だけが募る状態でした)その後出発した車は前輪がパンク海岸沿いの道だったので間一髪大事故になるところでした!!代わりの車をまたまた末事態に!!14:00帰着予定も初めに17:00頃と脅かされ予約の夕食のキャンセルなど大慌て結局15:00頃帰着しました。アクティビティそのものはそれなりに満足したようですがピックアップや旅行者の安全確保にきわめて低レベルであると思います。私たちはこのツアーを他の人に勧める事は無いでしょう。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
However, I sincerely apologize for the delays in pick-up and the unfortunate incident of a flat tire during the transfer, which may have caused you to feel uneasy, despite your enjoyment of the activities themselves.
As you mentioned, to ensure a safe experience for all participants, it is essential that all tours and activities we provide meet safety standards. We will work together with the local operating company to improve our services and prevent similar inconveniences in the future.
Thank you for your valuable feedback amidst your busy schedule.

I participated with a friend.
The zip line itself is absolutely amazing!
Maybe the sun was stronger than we expected, but when we got back, both my friend and I had terrible sunburns on our arms... (laughs)
We slid down a total of seven lines, and the views, distances, and heights were all different, making it a truly fun and fantastic aerial walk!
Taking that first step is incredibly scary.
But once you calm down, you realize you're securely strapped to the wire... I felt that way from the second line onward. ^ ^
However, the pickup time was just so delayed!
It was scheduled for 7:45, but after 30 minutes, they still hadn't arrived. I called and was told to wait, so I was worried while waiting, and they finally showed up an hour later (at 8:45).
Apparently, there was a traffic jam... It was really stressful not having a way to contact them on-site.
Also, on the way there, we had to wait for another car due to vehicle trouble... we ended up waiting for about 30 minutes. (laughs)
When we arrived, there wasn't much said, and we just checked in quickly...
But despite all that frustration, it was so great that I forgot about it!
All the instructors were very kind as well. ^ ^
友人と2人で参加してきました。
ジップライン自体はものすごく最高です!
思っている以上に日差しが強かったのか、帰ったら友人と腕周りが日焼けで大変なことになってました…(笑)
計7本を滑りましたが、見る景色や距離、高さなど色々あり本当に楽しい、最高の空中散歩です!
初めの1歩目を踏み出すのはものすっごく怖いです。
ただ冷静になれば、しっかりワイヤーに体括られてるしな…2本目からは思えました。^ ^
ただ。
ピックアップの時間が、とにかく!遅れてました。
7:45予定でしたが、30分経っても来ず、電話を掛けて、待っててくれとの事だったので、心配しながら待ってると1時間後(8:45)に来ました。
どうやら渋滞で混んでいたらしいですが…現地で連絡の手段がないと物凄く焦りました。
後は、向かっている途中で車のトラブルで別の車を待つことに…これまだ30分くらい待ちぼうけでした。(笑)
着いて何か言われる訳でもなく、速攻チェックインして…って感じでした。
ただ、そんなモヤモヤも忘れさせてくれるくらい最高です!
インストラクターの方々もみなさん、優しい方です^ ^
