All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

The check-in process using tablet devices and the activities are conducted entirely in English. However, since there are quite a few Japanese participants, it all works out. The safety measures are extremely high to prevent any accidents. About ten people form one group, and three instructors accompany you. By the time you finish the seven courses, there’s a strange sense of camaraderie within the group. There are T-shirts for sale at the shop that the staff also wear, and the design is very nice (I purchased one). The group I joined finished around 12:40, and the return driver asked everyone for their opinions and took us to a restaurant famous for garlic shrimp in the Kahuku area. It turned out to be a very satisfying tour, as we were able to visit a place that would be hard to get to without renting a car.

現地到着後のタブレット端末によるチェックイン作業やアクティビティー中のガイドはすべて英語で行われます。ただし、日本人の参加者もそこそこいる人気のツアーなのでなんとかなります。事故が起きないよう安全に対する配慮は極めて高いです。10名くらいが１グループになってコースを回るスタイルで、３人のインストラクターが帯同します。７本終えるころには１グループに妙な連帯感がでます。売店でスタッフも着用しているTシャツなどが売っているのですが、デザインがとても良いです。（購入済み）私が参加した組は終了時間が12時40分くらいで、帰りの送迎ドライバーさんがみんなに意見を聞き、カフク地区名物のガーリックシュリンプのお店に寄ってくれました。レンタカーを借りなければなかなか行けないお店にも寄れて大満足のツアーになりました。

I reserved a one-hour buggy course. Since there is no shuttle service from the hotel, we scheduled it to coincide with the day we rented a car. As others have mentioned, although the voucher states a 9:30 start time, you need to be there by 9:00, or they will start without you. It seems they start calling names around 9:10. I knew this but still arrived at 9:15 and missed it. However, it was okay. There was another course at 10:30, so I waited a bit and was able to participate starting at 10:30. *Be aware that during peak times, they might refuse you.*

As a note for this tour, a certain level of strength and driving skill is required. Without these, you won't be allowed to ride the buggy, and they are quite strict about it. There was even one person in my group who dropped out.

I participated with my wife, and I wish we had chosen the two-hour course instead of the one-hour course because it was so much fun. The scenery was fantastic, and the weather was perfect with a temperature of 27 degrees in January! Overall, we had a great time.

Photography during driving or riding is prohibited. However, using something like a GoPro that can be attached to your chest is allowed.

For the one-hour course, there is only one photo opportunity. If you want more, I recommend the two-hour course. By the way, if you are late for the two-hour course, I believe it will be treated as a cancellation, so be careful.

There were also horseback riding and location tours, but it was clear that the people on the single-rider buggies were having the most fun.

It's expensive, but it's worth it.

1時間バギーコースを予約しました。
ホテルからの送迎はないので、私達はレンタカーを借りる日とダブらせて予約。
他の方も書いてますが、9:30開始とバウチャーには書いてますが9:00には現地にいないとさっさと始められちゃいます。
9:10には名前読んでるみたいです。
そうゆう私は分かっていながら9:15に行って間に合いませんでした。
でも大丈夫。10:30からのコースもあるので少し待って10:30から体験できました。※繁忙期は断れるかもしれないので注意を。

ここでこのツアーの注意点として、ある程度の腕力と運転のセンスは必要です。
これがないとバギーに乗らせてくれません。しかも結構厳しい。
私と一緒に参加した人の中にも1名脱落者がいました。

私は妻と参加ですが1時間コースではなく2時間コースにすれば良かったと思うほど楽しかったです。
景色も快晴だったので最高。
1月なので気温も27度と快適！
とにかく楽しめました。

運転中や乗車中の写真撮影は禁止。でもGoProみたいなもので胸元などに付けられるものはオッケーでした。

1時間コースでは写真の撮影ポイントは1箇所のみです。物足りない人は2時間コースおすすめします。
因みに2時間コースで時間に遅れるとキャンセル扱いになると思いますのでご注意を。

乗馬やロケ地巡りもやってましたが明らかに1人乗りバギーの人が一番楽しそうでした。

高いけどやる価値ありです。

Initially, I thought about taking the bus, but I didn't know how to ride it or the schedule, so I consulted with HIS. They told me it would take a long time and that I wouldn't know how to transfer, which would make it difficult to reach my destination. I even considered canceling. In the end, I decided to take a taxi (which was expensive).

There were seven elderly ladies, all beginners, and at first, they were a bit scared to get on, but they gradually got used to it. The woman who accompanied us was very cheerful, which made it enjoyable and the experience was fantastic (I'm glad we did it).

As they got more comfortable, everyone expressed a desire to go horseback riding and try galloping. While Kualoa is famous, this place felt more local, and Japanese wasn't spoken, but we managed to communicate somehow. There were also small children with us, and they had a great time as well.

最初バスで行こうと思いましたが乗り方、時間がわからずＨＩＳで相談しました。そうしたら時間もかかるし、乗換もわからないと着くまでに大変ですよと言われ、キャンセルも視野に入れましたが。急きょタクシー（値段が高い）に
しました。おばあちゃん７名ですが全員初心者、最初は恐る恐る乗っていましたが次第に慣れ、ついていただいた女性の方がとても明るい方なので楽しくなり最高でした。（やって良かったです）
慣れたのか、みなさん乗馬に行って走らせてみたいと言う意見もありました。
クアロアは有名ですが、ここはローカルなようで日本語は通じないですがなんとかコミニュケーションができます。また小さい子供さんもいましたがとても楽しんでいました。

We chose to experience horseback riding by the seaside. We received a thorough lecture on how to ride and use the reins, and then we walked along the beach in a line. There were about three instructors with us, so we were able to enjoy it without any particular worries. (Some horses even started eating grass along the way, which was amusing!) Riding while being blown by the sea breeze of the North Shore was quite a pleasant experience.

私たちは海辺での乗馬体験を選択しました。
馬の乗り方、手綱の使い方を一通りレクチャーしてもらい、皆で一列になって海辺を歩きました。インストラクターの方が3人くらい付いていたので、特に不安なく楽しむことができました。(馬によっては途中、草を食べ始めちゃう子とかもいました笑)
ノースショアの海風に吹かれながらの乗馬はなかなか気持ちのいいものでした。

From the pickup to arrival at the site, there were many signs regarding precautions in case of an accident, which increased my anxiety as I arrived at the airport. I thought we would have about two hours of practice time, but it was only about two minutes, which was surprising. The instructor would return to the ground, fold the parachute, and then go back up with the next customer, repeating this process. I was a bit anxious about whether the parachute would open after being folded for about ten minutes, but I was able to return safely to the ground. I initially planned to just take photos, but encouraged by my wife, I also requested a video, which became a nice keepsake. I definitely recommend requesting a video. Overall, I would like to dive again! By the way, my wife only participated as an observer from the ground.

　ピックアップから現地到着まで、事故が有った際の注意書きへのサイン箇所が多く、不安感が増して空港に到着しました。
　練習時間は２時間位有るのかと思っていましたが、２分位でビックリでした
　インストラクターは地上に戻りパラシュートをたたみ次の客と空へ、の繰り返しでした、１０分位でたたんだパラシュートは開くのか不安にもなりましたが、無事地上に戻る事ができました。
　写真だけのつもりでしたが、妻に勧められムービーも依頼し記念になりました、ぜひムービーを依頼する事をお勧めします。
　総合的にまた、ダイブしたいです！因みに妻は下で見学のみの参加でした。

This tour was a wonderful experience during my trip to Hawaii. Our guide, who was born in Akita, skillfully shared stories while driving (fluent in both Japanese and English) and provided us with rich knowledge about plants and Hawaiian history during the hike. We were fortunate to have such a great guide. Additionally, the driver played the ukulele and kept the participants engaged while also guiding foreign guests. Next time, I definitely want to join the Dolphin and You tour.

　今回のハワイ旅行の中では、非常にいい時間を過ごせたツアーでした。
秋田生まれのガイドさんが車中から巧みな話術を繰り広げ（日本語・英語ペラペラ）ハイキング中も植物やハワイの歴史など豊富な知識を伝えてくださり、ガイドさんに恵まれたツアーでした。また、運転手さんもウクレレを弾き、参加者を飽きさせない工夫をしながら外国人の対応のガイドをしておられました。次は、是非、ドルフィンアンドユーのツアーに参加したいです。

It was amazing! The shuttle service was reliable, and they spoke Japanese. It was my first time skydiving, and I was very satisfied!

最高でした！
送迎もしっかりしていて日本語が通じ、はじめてのスカイダイビングでしたがとても満足です！

The horseback riding experience itself was very satisfying as we walked along the coast with beautiful scenery. However, I couldn't fully understand some of the driver's explanations, so it would have been better if they had provided a bit more detailed information.

体験した乗馬自体は、海沿いを歩くため景色がよく、大満足でした。ただ、ドライバーの方の説明が一部よく理解できなかったため、もう少し丁寧に説明を頂けるとよかったです。

I was torn between the 1-hour course and the 2-hour course, but since I wasn't very interested in the other activities, I chose the 2-hour course, and it was a great decision. There were only two groups of four people in the 2-hour course, so I received thorough support. Additionally, since it was a 2-hour course, I was also taken to the Movie Site, which was a lot of fun. As for clothing, it's better to wear shoes instead of sandals and long pants instead of shorts. It's wise to dress in a way that anticipates being splashed with dung or urine.

2時間コースか1時間コースか迷ったが、他のアクティビティにはあまり興味がなかったので、2時間コースを選択したら、アタリでしたー。2時間のコースはパッケージプランの人があまりいないのか2組4名しかいないのでじっくりサポートしてもらえた他、2時間のコースだとMovie Siteにも案内してもらえたので十分楽しめました。あと服装ですが、サンダルでなくて靴、短パンでなくて長ズボンの方がいいですね。フンやオシッコをかけられることも想定した服装がいいでしょう。

I was anxious about participating with my family, but after reading the reviews, which mentioned no accidents, I decided to give it a try. I became an instructor, but I got spun around so much that I ended up vomiting afterward. I felt sick for a while, so if that hadn't happened, I might have wanted to do it again, but now I'm thinking maybe it's enough for me. However, it was a good experience overall.

家族で参加して不安はあったけど口コミを見て事故も内容だしやってみようとなりました。
インストラクターになりますが、グルグルに回されて、終わってから吐きました。ゲロゲロです。しばらく気分が悪かったのであれが無かったらまたしようと思うけど、もういいかなと思いました。でもいい体験ができました

We all dove together as a family. The kids were very satisfied. The couple had experienced this on their honeymoon, so it was their second time. The weather was great, and the staff's service was excellent. The explanations were thorough, making it comfortable even for beginners. If I had to mention a downside, it's that Japanese people are not accustomed to tipping, so it would be better if tips were included from the start to avoid any resistance. However, for those who are hesitant, I believe the experience is worth it.

家族全員でダイブしました。子供も大満足。夫婦は新婚旅行で経験しているので2回目。天気も良くスタッフの対応も最高でした。説明も丁寧で初心者でも安心ですね。難を言えば　日本人はチップ制度に慣れていないので　最初からチップ込みにして頂ければ抵抗は無いのですが・・・・。でも　悩んでいる方は、経験して損は無いと思います。

Had a blast and we would do it again! It’s a little hard on the ears though.

I participated with my fifth-grade niece. At first, she was scared, but after trying it once, she said it was fun! (The first ride was a gentle line, but from the second ride on, it was a decent height and length.) We took a big jeep to the location of the lines after the first ride, so there was no turning back! It’s guaranteed to be exhilarating! Although Japanese is not understood, I was able to enjoy it even though I can't speak English ^_^

小学5年生の姪っ子と参加しました。
姪っ子は、最初は怖がっていたのですが1回すると、楽しい！と。(1回目は緩やかなラインだった為、2回目からは、そこそこの高さ、長さのラインに。)
2回目以降のライン場所まで大きなジープで行くので、後戻りもできません！
スカッと！する事間違いなし！
日本語は通じませんが、英語が話せない私でも楽しめました^_^

Concerns for Japanese people:
- Not being able to communicate in Japanese
- Not knowing when to give tips

Is that about it?
It's like a well-trained horse just following the guide. There will probably be various explanations from the guide along the way, but since I can't understand English, there won't be any.
I think it would be good to sell tours that include tips for Japanese customers.

日本人に心配だと思う所
○日本語が通じない
○チップの渡すタイミングがわからない

これぐらいですかね？
よく調教された馬で、ガイドさんの後をついていくだけ
途中、色々とガイド説明があるんだろうけど、英語理解できないので無し
日本人向けにチップ込みツアーの販売が良いと思う

The leader spoke English, so I couldn't understand the guide very well. The scenery itself was amazing.

I made a reservation for 15:30, and the meeting time was at 11:00. I thought I would have a lot of free time, but when I checked in, I was guided to a horseback riding session starting at 12:00.

I'm glad I was able to do it early, but it was a bit of a mystery why the horseback riding was scheduled for 15:30. My father had to cancel the two-hour horseback riding due to a foot injury, but on the day of, there were openings, and we were able to take a bus with a Japanese-speaking guide.

リーダーは英語なので、ガイドがよくわかりません。
景色自体は最高です。

15:30に予約して、集合時間は11時でした。
暇をもて余すんだろうなと思って受付したら、12時からの乗馬に案内されました。

はやくにできてよかったですが、なぜ15:30の乗馬案内になっているか、ちょっと謎でした。父親は足を痛めたので2時間の乗馬をキャンセルしたのですが、当日、空きがあり、日本語ガイド付きのバスに乗れました。

This was my second time skydiving in my life. The staff were all foreigners, but they taught us in English very politely, and I felt I could trust them with my life. I also booked additional photos, and it was a truly great experience.

人生2回目のスカイダイビングでした。
スタッフの方も皆さん外国の方ですが丁寧に英語で教えてくれるし、この人に命を預けて良い。と頼れるスタッフでした。
写真も追加で予約し、とっても良い経験でした

Absolutely amazing! The meeting time was at 5 AM, and it was cold and I was sleepy... The wait time before skydiving was 2 hours, which was tough, but by late morning the temperature rose, and the instructor was friendly and provided solid support, allowing me to feel safe and trust them! The view from 4,200 meters in the air and the free fall was an experience beyond my imagination. Once the parachute opened, it was wonderful to descend slowly while enjoying the scenery and feeling the wind.

とっても最高！
集合時間が朝の5時で寒くて眠くて…スカイダイビングするまでの待ち時間が2時間あり辛かったけど、昼前には気温も上がりインストラクターも気さくでしっかりサポートしてくれて安心して任せることが出来ました！上空4200メートルからの景色とフリーホールは想像以上の体験でパラシュートが開いてからはゆっくり景色を楽しみながら風を感じながら降りてくるのがすごくよかったです。

I'm afraid of heights, but I made a reservation because my husband loves this kind of thing and I thought he would enjoy it. At first, I regretted it, but after doing the first practice run, I was surprisingly not scared at all and didn't feel like I was falling, which was a relief. After a while, the scenery was the same, and since there were trees around, it didn't feel high at all. I thought maybe halfway would be enough because I was tired, but it turned out to be a great experience that I'll remember for a lifetime.

高所恐怖症なんですが旦那さんがこーゆうの大好きなので喜ぶかな？と予約しました。
最初は後悔しましたが練習用の1本目をやったら
意外と落ちる感じがなく怖い気持ちは無かったので安心しました。途中からは景色も同じでなんなら木が茂っていたので高く感じなかったし
疲れたのもあり半分でいいかな？とも思いましたが一生に一度のいい体験になりました。

I think the satisfaction level will vary depending on the instructor you fly with. If you hit the jackpot, you can experience unimaginable flying techniques and valuable experiences (operations), but if you miss, it's just a matter of falling. It's more nauseating than being on a boat, so it's better to take motion sickness medication.

共に飛ぶインストラクターにより満足度が変わると思います。当たれば想像できない飛び方や貴重な体験(操作)が出来ますが外れるとただ落ちるだけです。
船より酔います。酔い止め飲んだ方がいいです。

We participated as a family of four on a personal trip. I was nervous until we arrived since we booked online. There was no shuttle service, so I debated whether to rent a car or take a taxi until the end. Our reservation was for a meeting time of 8:30 and a start time of 9:30. Our hotel was the Alohilani Resort in Waikiki, which is about a 45-minute drive away, so we had to leave the hotel by at least 7:30. In the end, we took a taxi to the location (about $100 including tip). There are only two routes: one along the coast and the other through the mountains, and we chose the mountain route. Along the way, we encountered a typical morning rain in Hawaii, which made me think, "Oh no!" But by the time we arrived, it had completely cleared up and was sunny!

We quickly checked in and were told to come to the buggy boarding area by 9:15. We stored our belongings in a locker for $5, which we could open and close multiple times. As time passed, many people kept arriving. At the buggy boarding area, we watched a short Japanese DVD for less than 10 minutes, chose our helmets, and finally got on. We wore sneakers that could get dirty, while others borrowed something like Crocs (for free). Before leaving, I read other experiences and worried that my daughter and I wouldn't be able to drive, but we had no problems at all. We went around with a couple from Austria, making a group of six. The filming locations were interesting, though not as famous as those at Universal Studios or Disney, and the ranch we passed had cows that stopped for the buggies. The nature was magnificent, and the views were never boring. The staff even made fun videos, and they were very nice.

After finishing, it was just lunchtime, so my daughter and I ordered hamburgers at the restaurant, while my husband ordered a steak set with teriyaki sauce. The meat was from pasture-raised cows, and it was delicious!

On the way back, we used the city bus. It seems there are two buses an hour during the day, but they don't come on time. This is Hawaiian time! We waited for about 30 minutes. Finally, we boarded, and it took an hour to get to Ala Moana, costing $5.25 per person. We took the same route back to Waikiki, with locals getting on and off, and the bus was clean. It was a valuable experience since we don't often get a chance to ride the city bus.

個人旅行で家族4人で参加。ネットで予約したため現地に着くまでドキドキ。送迎がないので最後までレンタカーを借りるかタクシーで迷いました。予約が取れたのが集合が8:30でスタートが9:30。ホテルがワイキキのアロヒラニリゾートで　そこから車で45分くらいかかるため　少なくとも7:30にはホテルを出ないといけなく　結局タクシーで現地へ行きました。（チップも含めて約100ドル）海岸側を通るか山を抜けていくしか2とおりの道しかないのですが　山側を抜けていきました。途中ハワイ特有の朝の雨が降ってきて　え～！と思いましたが　現地に着くとすっかりやんで快晴！
すぐに受付を済ませて　9:15にバギー乗り場へ来るように言われました。荷物は5ドルで何度も開け閉めできるロッカーへ。時間がたつにつれてたくさん人がどんどんやってきます。
バギー乗り場で10分もない日本語のＤＶＤを見て　ヘルメットを選びいよいよ乗ります。私たちは汚れてもいいスニーカーでしたが　そうでない方々はクロックスのようなものを借りてました（無料）出国前に他の体験談を読んで　私と高校生の娘は運転できないのでは…と心配でしたが　全く問題なく運転できました。私たちとオーストリアから来た夫婦と6人で回りました。ロケ地もＵＳＪやディズニー程ではないですが面白かったし　途中の牧場も牛がバギーが通るまでちゃんと止まってくれますし　何しろ自然が雄大で眺めも飽きません。スタッフさんもおもしろ動画を作ってくれたり　とてもいいかたでした。
終わってちょうどランチタイムなので　レストランで私と娘はハンバーガー、主人は照り焼きソースを絡めたステーキセットを注文。お肉は放牧されている牛のもの。これもおいしかったですよ！
帰りは路線バスを利用。昼間は1時間2本あるようで　それでも時間どうりにには来ません。ここはハワイアンタイム！30分くらい待ったでしょうか。ようやく乗って、アラモアナまで、1時間。一人＄5.25。来た道と同じルートでワイキキまで。途中ローカルの方々が乗り降りして　車内もきれいでした。
なかなか路線バスには乗るチャンスもないので貴重な体験でした。

It was my first time on a zip line. At first, I only felt fear, but by the second time, I found myself really enjoying it! The staff spoke in a way I couldn't understand, but their kindness and brightness were really great! I want to study English before my next visit.

初めてのジップラインでした。最初は恐怖心しかありませんでしたが、2回目になるととても楽しんでいる自分がいました！スタッフも言葉は何を言っているのか分かりませんでしたが、親切＋明るさでとても良かったです！次回までに英語を勉強しておきたいと思います。

I participated with my family, including a middle school student. We were able to fully enjoy the zip line in the great outdoors. As someone in my 40s, I was worried about my stamina, but it turned out to be fine (laughs). There were three instructors, and they were all kind and attentive.

One slight disappointment was that we couldn't eat fruits or anything along the way. I'm not sure if it was out of stock or sold out, as I couldn't understand the reason in English. However, there was a chance to hydrate.

Overall, from the transportation to the reception, everyone was very kind and accommodating. Thank you very much.

中学生を含む家族で参加しました。
大自然の中ジップラインを満喫することができました。40代の私は体力が心配だったのですが大丈夫でした（笑）。インストラクターが3名いらっしゃいましたが皆さん親切かつ丁寧に対応していただきました。
ちょっぴり残念だったのが途中にフルーツ等を食べることができなかったこと。品切れ？売り切れ？英語が分からず理由は不明ですが。でも水分補給はありました。
その他、送迎や受付等も含め全般を通して親切に対応していただきました。
ありがとうございました。

This time, I participated in the buggy ride for two hours. However, we mostly just drove around the ranch. I would have liked to stop a bit more at the movie filming locations for explanations. When I participated in the one-hour buggy ride eight months ago, the guide provided a lot of interesting behind-the-scenes information about the movies, and it was very enjoyable. I wonder if it depends on the guide. Since it was a course that started at 3 PM, perhaps they wanted to finish early. When we returned from the tour, there were hardly any people left, and the food court was closed, with the shops closing before I could even take a look.

今回は、バギー2時間に参加しました。ただ、ほほとんど、牧場内を走るだけでした。もう少し、映画の撮影現場に少し止まって説明が欲しかったです。
８か月前に1時間バギーに参加した時は色々、映画の裏事情の説明もしてくださりとても楽しかったです。担当のガイドさんで変わるのでしょうか？
3時からスタートのコースだったので、早く帰りたかったのでしょうか。
ツアーから帰って来たら、もうほとんど人はいなく、フードコートも閉まっていて、売店も見る間もなく閉まりました。

It was my first experience riding a horse, but they provided clear explanations in English. To the left, there was a beautiful sea and sandy beach, and to the right, I could see mountains and greenery colored orange by the sunset, creating a truly wonderful view. There were also photo spots, and the guide took pictures for us and adjusted the speed, making it completely fine for beginners! It was a relaxing and meaningful time!

乗馬は初めての体験でしたが、しっかり説明(英語)をしてくれました。左を見ると綺麗な海と砂浜があり、右を見ると夕日によってオレンジに色づいた山や緑があり、とても素敵な景色が見れました。フォトスポットもありガイドの方が撮ってくれたり速度も調節してくれたりと乗馬初心者でも全然大丈夫でした！！
心も休まり有意義なひと時でした！！！！

I was worried about the rain in North Shore based on my experience, but the weather was really nice. The lush green scenery was wonderful.

The ziplining was refreshing as it cut through the greenery, and I felt great doing it. I was satisfied with the eight lines.

Not only did I glide through the greenery, but the heights and lengths varied, allowing me to enjoy views of the fields while zipping along, so I never got bored. The suspension bridge and other athletic-like activities were also fun.

I was able to experience things like letting go of the harness, starting backward, and even going upside down, which I definitely wouldn't be allowed to do in Japan.

The staff, who couldn't speak Japanese, did their best to explain things in simple English. I was very satisfied.

One thing I noticed was that tips were required separately, but no one was giving tips. When my husband gave tips to the three staff members accompanying us, they were very surprised. I wonder if very few people, especially Japanese, give tips? If that's the case, it might be better to include tips in the price.

ノースショアは、私の経験では雨が多かったので心配していましたが、とてもいい天気でした。緑いっぱいの景色が素晴らしかったです。
ジップラインは、緑の中を突っ切る感じが爽快で、すごく気持ちよかったです。８本もできて、満足しました。
ただ緑の中を滑走するだけではなく、高さや長さが異なり、滑走しながら畑を眺めたり、飽きることはありませんでした。つり橋などアスレチックスみたいなものも面白かったです。
また、手を離したり、後ろ向きにスタートしたり、逆さになったり、日本では絶対させてくれないようなことが体験できました。
日本語が話せないスタッフばかりでしたが、簡単な英語で一生懸命説明してくれました。
大満足です。
一つ気になったのは、チップが別途必要とのこたでしたが、誰もチップを渡していませんでした。主人が同行のスタッフ3人にチップを渡すととてもビックリしてました。チップを渡す人(特に日本人)はほとんどいないのではないでしょうか？それなら、チップ込みの値段設定にされた方がいいような気がします。

We arrived early by rental car, and the journey was smooth, allowing us to arrive relatively quickly. The check-in process was handled by staff who spoke Japanese and provided thorough explanations. Since we arrived early, I inquired about other activities, but they were fully booked.

After watching the DVD several times, they selected horses based on each person's physique. The horses were well-trained and calm, and my 10-year-old daughter quickly got used to riding. We enjoyed the scenery while being grateful for the patient and strong horses with their big, round eyes. However, since the horses occasionally stumbled, it’s better to use both hands firmly.

Despite the cloudy weather and occasional light rain, there were muddy spots on the path that slowed the horses down, making the ride take over two hours, but it passed in no time and was very enjoyable. We went as a family of five, and I believe this will be a memorable page in our Hawaii experience. I was excited to be in a precious place that was only accessible to royalty, but the occasional sound of helicopters and four-wheeled buggies felt out of place, which was a bit disappointing.

On the way back in the afternoon, you can return via either Kahuku or Haleiwa, so I recommend taking your time and going by rental car.

早めにレンタカーで行きましたが、道中もスムーズで割と早く到着しました。
チェックインも日本語のできるスタッフが丁寧に説明してくれました。
早く到着したので他のアクティビティを聞いたのですが、予約で満杯。

DVDを何度も見たあとに、各々の体格に合わせて馬を選定してくれます。
馬がしっかり調教されていておとなしく、10歳の娘もすぐに慣れました。
つぶらな瞳ながら我慢強く力強い馬たちに感謝しながら景色を堪能しました。
しかし、馬もたまに躓くので、しっかり両手を使っていたほうが良いです。

曇天で時に小雨の降る中で、道がぬかるんでいる場所があり馬の歩みが遅く、
2時間以上かかりましたが、あっという間に過ぎ大変良かったです。
家族5人で行きましたが、ハワイの思い出に残る１ページになると思います。
王族しか入れなかった貴重な場所ということでテンションが上がりましたが
たまにヘリの音と四輪バギーは雰囲気に場違いなようでそこは残念でした。

帰りの午後はカフク、ハレイワ経由でもカイルア経由でも帰れますので、
やはり、時間に余裕をもってレンタカーで行くのがおすすめです。

I wasn't confident in my physical strength and felt anxious even after signing up. However, there were no problems at all. The safety measures were excellent. Moreover, for the vertical rope climb, which I was most worried about, I could ask for help and received assistance. The log crossing, which I had previously fallen from in a Japanese athletic course, was also very safe. Even when it swayed, I was able to cross it with enjoyment. Above all, the zip line in the great outdoors was exhilarating! In the end, I even did a reverse hands-free ride, returning to my childhood and having a blast. I returned home fully satisfied, having enjoyed the sea, greenery, and blue sky.

体力に自信がなくて、申し込んだものの不安でした。しかし、全く問題ありませんでした。安全対策ばっちりでした。さらに一番不安だった、垂直のロープのぼり？も手伝いを頼めば、手伝っていただけます。日本のアスレチックで落ちた経験のある丸太渡り？もとっても安全。揺らされても楽しくわたれました。何よりジップラインは大自然の中、気分爽快！最後には、逆さ手放しまでして童心に返り、思う存分楽しむことができました。海・緑・青い空を満喫して帰ってきました。

After an hour on the bus, we arrived. I couldn't keep my backpack with me, so I stored it in a locker and was ready to go. We watched a DVD with riding instructions, and then it was time for the 2-hour tour. Everything was in English, and we didn't stop for photos, even at the photo points. If you're hoping to take pictures while riding, this might not be suitable, as the camera couldn't focus. If there had been Japanese guidance through the intercom, I might have enjoyed it a bit more.

1時間バスに揺られた到着。後ろリュックはダメでロッカーに預けて準備OK。
乗馬の注意事項DVD見て、いよいよ2時間ツアーへ
すべて英語で記念撮影もストップせず、写真ポイントでも止まる事なく、素通り、馬に乗っている為カメラのピントが合わず記念撮影を撮りたい方には不向きです。
インカムで日本語案内が有れば、もう少し楽しめたのカナ？

I really enjoyed the time spent with the gentle horses while exploring the ranch, including the movie filming locations, and seeing the mountains, the sea, and even a rock shaped like a turtle. This was my third horseback riding experience in Hawaii (North Shore and Big Island), and I recommend this facility for its great amenities. My elementary school child mentioned that it was a bit long, though.

映画のロケ地をはじめとした牧場内を周遊し、山々や海、亀の形をした岩？も見つつ、優しい馬と過ごした時間は本当に楽しかったです
ハワイでの乗馬は３回目(ノースとハワイ島)ですが施設も充実しているところもおススメです
小学生の子供は少し長かったと言っていましたが

The guide was great!
During my first trip to Hawaii, I was able to hear many stories.
I learned a lot about the characteristics of the Hawaiian Islands and their history—so many things I didn't know!
The tour also took us to a delicious garlic shrimp restaurant, and horseback riding was amazing.

ガイドさんがよかった！
初めてのハワイでいろんな話しを聞けました。
ハワイ諸島の特徴から歴史など色々、
知らない事が、いっぱい教え頂きました！
ツアーのガーリックシュリンプも美味しいお店に連れて行って行ってくれるし、乗馬も最高でした。
