All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

This was the best hour of our lives. The sights were beautiful especially in a helicopter with the doors off. The instructor was very informative explaining a lot of the Hawaiian culture. I would recommend this to anyone who comes to Hawaii.

I went to the location by rental car and participated without any issues, enjoying the full hour of horseback riding as planned.

レンタカーで現地へ行って参加しましたが特に問題もなくたっぷり予定の1時間乗馬を楽しむことができました。

Thank you very much for your help the other day; my family of four had a great time. Before participating in the tour, I thought we would just go to the North and ride horses, but thanks to Hiro's detailed explanations of sightseeing points, time management, and highlights, we learned many things we didn't know before. It turned out to be a very satisfying tour for all four of us. I definitely want to join other tours with Hiro's transportation and guidance as well.

Thank you for a truly enjoyable time.

先日は大変お世話になり、家族4人で楽しむ事が出来ました。ツアーに参加する前は、ただノースに行って馬に乗るだけなのかと思っていましたが、送迎して頂いたヒロさんの細かい観光ポイントの説明や、時間配分、見所等々、随所に配慮頂き今まで知らなかった事を知る事も出来、家族4人大変満足のいくツアーとなりました。是非また他のツアーもヒロさんの送迎&添乗で参加したいと思います。
本当に、楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

We had a great time and our ATV tour guide (Thomas) went well above and beyond. He was so knowledgeable of the history of the Ranch. It was clear that he loves his job and enjoys showing all the tourists why the Hawaiian islands are the only place to visit. Would highly recommend

My first time in Hawaii.

I finally got to go skydiving, something I had always wanted to do! I was a bit anxious about not being able to speak English, but the instructor was very kind and it was no problem at all! The views were amazing, and I want to do it again!

初めてのHawaii。

ずっとやりたかったスカイダイビング！英語が話せなくてすこし不安でしたが、インストラクターの方がとても丁寧で全然問題なし！景色最高またやりたいです！

It was my first time skydiving in my life. It was absolutely amazing. When I arrived at the location, I had to decide whether to purchase photos and videos. It's such a rare experience, so even though it's expensive, I decided to buy them! The price varies depending on whether I have the instructor take the footage with a GoPro or if I have a photographer do it, but it truly became the best memory!

人生初めてのスカイダイビング。とにかく最高でした。現地について、写真や動画を購入するか決めるのですがなかなか出来ない経験なので高いけど購入
！Goproでインストラクターの方に撮ってもらうか、カメラマンに撮ってもらうかで金額が異なりますが、とにかく最高の思い出になりました！

This was our family trip to Hawaii (the 9th time) with nine people. We've been to Hawaii many times, but none of us had experienced skydiving before. My husband (59 years old) really wanted to try it since it was on his countdown list. So, he, our son, our daughter, my brother, and his son all experienced it together. When I asked everyone if they would want to do it again, my husband and daughter said they would, but our son, brother, and nephew said they had a great experience but were good with just that! It must have been quite scary for them. They mentioned that the quality of the instructor who jumps with you can really make a difference, but we couldn't choose our instructor here, so there might be some luck involved! We took off without any waiting time with the five of us. It was in the afternoon. Thank you for your assistance.

家族9人でのハワイ旅行（9回目）
何回もハワイに行ってるのですがスカイダイビングは経験なし。
主人が（59歳）体験するのにカウントダウンにあるのでどうしてもやりたいと。
主人、息子、娘、私の弟、その息子5人で体験しました。もう1度やりたいかそれぞれに聞いた所、主人と娘はまたやりたいと言いましたが、息子、弟、甥はいい経験をした！もういいです！と言ってます（笑）そうとう怖かったのでしょうね。後ろに付いてくれるインストラクターで良い悪いが決まると言ってました。それはこちらでは選べないですから、当たりはずれがあるでしょう！待ち時間もなく5人で飛び立ちました。午後の便でした。
お世話になりありがとうございました。

There are many activities in Hawaii, and it can be overwhelming to choose. While marine sports and forest activities can be done elsewhere, I decided to go skydiving because the experience is limited to certain locations. Since I chose the morning session, the meeting time was quite early, making it tough to wake up, but there wasn't much waiting time, allowing me to make good use of the time afterward.

The ascent in the Cessna took longer than I expected, and just when my nerves started to ease, we arrived at the dive point. Since I was the last to board, I thought I might not be the first to jump, but I ended up being the first one out. Just like I had seen on TV, there was no time to say "wait, wait"; the instructor jumped without warning, leaving me no time to feel scared or to hesitate, and I was suddenly falling. It might be scarier the later you jump.

During the free fall, I was just desperately screaming (as instructed), and the moment the parachute opened, we shot up a bit, finally giving me the chance to enjoy the view. The weather was great, so I was able to gaze at the beautiful sea, sky, and land. The Hawaiian wind was both cool and warm, and it felt amazing.

There are many reasons to hesitate, like fear or danger, but I believe it's worth experiencing at least once!

At first, the Asian staff member who spoke Japanese seemed a bit curt and made me feel uncomfortable, but after talking more, I found him to be a nice person, and in the end, he left the strongest impression on me.

ハワイのアクティビティはたくさんあって迷いますが、マリンスポーツやフォレスト系はほかでもできるけれど、体験場所が限られているという理由でスカイダイビングをすることにしました。
午前の部にしたので、集合時間がかなり早くて起きるのがしんどかったですが、待ち時間もそんなになく終わってからの時間を有効に使えました。

セスナでの上昇時間が思っていたより長くて、逆に緊張がほぐれてきた頃にダイブポイントに到着。一番最後に乗り込んだのでもしやと思いきや、やはり一番最初に飛ぶことに。よくテレビで見てイメージしていたように、「待って待って」などという時間はなく、自分のタイミングではなくインストラクターさんがポンっと飛んだので怖さを感じる暇もストップをかける暇もなく、落ちていきました。飛ぶ順番が後ろになるほど怖いかもしれないです。
フリーフォールの間はただただ必死で叫んで（叫べと言っていた）、パラシュートが開いた瞬間ぐんっと上昇して、そこからようやく景色を楽しむ余裕ができ、お天気もよかったのでとても綺麗な海と空と大地を眺めることができました。ハワイの風はつめたくてあたたかくてとてもきもちよかった。

怖いとか、危ないとか、色々躊躇する理由はあるけれど、一度は体験する価値アリだとおもいます！

スタッフの日本語をしゃべるアジア人の方の対応が、最初はつっけんどんでムッとしましたが、よく話すといい方で終わってみれば一番印象に残ったのがこの方でした。

My first skydiving experience.
I was filled with both excitement and anxiety.
There were few people who spoke Japanese, but they showed us an explanatory video before the jump, so it was fine, and the staff communicated earnestly with gestures.
Before jumping, you might think it would be really scary, right?
No, rather than being scared, the view is so beautiful that I felt like "Wow~" and then I jumped out.
There’s no sensation of falling from a high place; instead, you feel a lot of wind, which is really pleasant.
I chose to jump from 4,267 meters.
Even so, it goes by in an instant, so I recommend a higher altitude.
Also, wearing white pants is a no-go; they might get dirty.
Compared to skydiving prices in other countries or places outside of Hawaii, Hawaii is quite affordable, so I recommend taking a video for first-timers.
You can watch it multiple times and it’s fun.
I definitely want to participate again, and I highly recommend it to my friends!

初めてのスカイダイビング。
期待と不安でいっぱいでした。
日本語を話せる人が少なかったですが
飛ぶ前に説明のビデオを見せてくれるので
大丈夫ですし、スタッフも身振り手振りで
一生懸命に対応してくれました。
飛ぶ前は絶対怖いとおもいますよね？
いえいえ、怖いというよりも
かなり景色がいいので
うわぁ～( *´艸｀)という気持ちのまま
飛び出します。
高い所から落ちる浮遊感はなく
沢山の風を感じるので本当に気持ちいいです。
私は4267メートルをチョイスしました。
それでもあっという間になので、高度は高い方が
おすすめです。
あと、白いズボンは×です。汚れるかも。
国内やハワイ以外のスカイダイビング料金と比較しても
ハワイはかなり安いので、初めての人は
ムービーをとる事もおすすめです。
何度も見返せて楽しいです。
また必ず参加したいですし、友達にもすすめたいぐらい
超おすすめです！！

Great ride Jim was a perfect pilot wish him the best also the entire staff was outstanding very professional

At Dole, you only have about 30 minutes, so it's best to quickly finish shopping while eating ice cream and take care of restroom needs. If you take your time, you won't get anything done, so it's all about acting swiftly!

When we visited Turtle Beach, it was cloudy, so we couldn't see any turtles, but I've heard that you can usually see them if the weather is nice.

Horseback riding was incredibly fun. They give you a brief verbal explanation of how to ride, but even people in their 70s seemed to enjoy it, so I think it's something anyone can have fun with. Before you ride, they tell you the horse's name, which helps you feel attached, and calling its name or petting it gives a sense of communication.

If you just act normally, it's not dangerous, and the horses are quite gentle. Since you ride through the mountains, I recommend wearing long pants. I saw some young people in shorts, and they got bitten by mosquitoes in several places and had big welts. The ones in pants were unscathed.

At the North Shore, we had lunch (garlic shrimp) and about 45 minutes of free time. When I told the driver I wanted to eat garlic shrimp, he made a reservation, so I was able to buy it quickly. We got lunch boxes, ate outside, and then wrapped up our exploration.

After eating ice cream at Dole and garlic shrimp, there wasn't enough time for shave ice. Since there's a line for shave ice, if you want to eat it, you should either eat the garlic shrimp quickly or have someone stand in line while you eat to make the most of your time.

On the way back, the driver's stories sounded like a lullaby, and I fell into a deep sleep. We returned to Waikiki in about an hour. The horseback riding was with smart horses, so I was able to enjoy a leisurely ride while taking in the scenery, which was truly a great experience.

ドールは滞在時間30分なのでアイスを食べながら買い物を手早く済ませトイレを済ませる感じです。ゆっくりしてると何もできないのでさっさと行動あるのみです！
ウミガメビーチは私たちが行ったときは曇っていたのでウミガメは見れませんでしたが晴れていれば大体見れるそうです。
乗馬はもう最高に楽しいです。最初に乗り方を口頭で伝えられる程度ですが70代の方も楽しんでいらっしゃたので割と誰でも楽しめると思います。
乗る前に馬の名前を教えてくれるので愛着が湧きやすく名前を呼んだり触ったりすると何となく意思の疎通ができる気がします。
普通にしてれば危なくもないしおとなしいと思います。
山の中を乗馬するのでちゃんと長いズボンを履いた方がいいと思います。
若い子がショートパンツを履いていましたが何か所も蚊に刺されて大きく腫れていました。ズボンチームは無傷でした。
ノースショアはお昼ごはん(ガーリックシュリンプ)と45分程度の自由時間でした。
ガーリックシュリンプはドライバーさんに食べたい旨を伝えると予約しておいてくれささっと買えました。ランチボックスをもらい外で食べて散策といった感じで終了。
ドールでアイスを食べガーリックシュリンプを食べるとシェイブアイスは食べれない。。
シェイブアイスは並ぶので食べたい方はガーリックシュリンプはそこそこの早食いか一人並んでる間に食べるとかして時間を有効活用してくださいww
帰りはドライバーさんのお話が子守唄に聞こえ爆睡。1時間程度でワイキキに帰ってこられました。
乗馬は賢い馬なので景色を見ながらゆっくり乗馬できて本当に良い経験ができました。

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）。

It was my first experience with a buggy. Before the experience, I watched a Japanese DVD and then drove on a test course. If there were no issues, we went straight to the main course. Driving the buggy through the great outdoors gave me an indescribably amazing feeling. Along the way, we stopped at a photo spot to take pictures. I want to ride the buggy again!

初めてバギー体験でした。体験前に日本語のDVDを見てからテストコースを走行。問題なければそのままコースへ。大自然の中をバギーで走って何とも言えない最高の気分を味わえます。途中で写真撮影スポットで写真を撮ります。もう一度バギー乗りたいです。

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？？

It was exciting walking through a rain forest and also a good cardio workout. Our group had walking sticks so it was beneficial where it was a bit rocky or wet. Just take your time going up or back down and enjoy the scenery.

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！

In the end, I only caught two fish (>_<)

Two other family members participated, but they didn't catch anything (//∇//)

The captain was cheerful and kept the mood lively, which was fun, but...

When you can't catch anything...

The current was strong, and there were many snags, and since we were targeting flatfish, it was a tough fishing experience.

The only saving grace was the beautiful sunset during our evening departure...

結局自分は２匹しか釣れなかった(>_<)

他に家族２名参加したけど　その2名は　ボーズ(//∇//)

船長は陽気に盛り上げてくれて　面白かったけど

釣れない事には・・・・・

流れもきつく　根がかりも多く　カワハギ狙いなんで厳しい釣りでした

唯一　夕方の出港で　サンセットが綺麗だったのが救いでした・・・

I experienced this during spring break. My son, who is in the third grade, my niece in her twenties, and I in my forties all took on the challenge together. It was everyone's first time riding a horse, and we were worried about whether we could actually ride, but we were able to smoothly get on the horse from the mounting block.

The instructions were in English, but they used gestures to teach us, so even with zero English skills, we managed just fine. We rode in a line through the grasslands and between the trees, not just on flat ground but also on rocky mountain paths, stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery for about an hour. It was a valuable experience that is hard to come by in Japan.

Although it's quite a distance from Waikiki, it took two hours by bus from Ala Moana Center, and it was worth the effort to get there.

春休みに体験しました。
小学3年生の息子、20代の姪、40代の私の3名で挑戦。ひとりで乗馬はみんな初めてで、馬に乗れるのか…と心配でしたが、台にのった状態から馬にまたがったのでスンナリ乗れました。
説明は英語でしたが、身ぶり手振りで教えてくれたので英語力ゼロでもどうにかなりました。
一列になって草原や木の間、平坦なところだけでなく歩きにくそうな山道を進み途中途中で景色を眺めるために止まりながら約1時間、貴重な体験ができました。日本ではなかなか体験できないのでよかったです。
ワイキキから距離がありますが、アラモアナセンターからバスで２時間、頑張って行った甲斐がありました。

Beach activities are great, but leisurely horseback riding next to Hawaii's beautiful ocean is a precious experience. The view is so good that it really lifted my spirits. However, since you ride for an hour, it can get a bit painful on your backside (laughs). If I could wish for more, it would be that since we only walked, it would be even more fun if we could run. This experience sparked a strong interest in horseback riding for me. By the way, no Japanese is understood at all. All the instructions were in English. However, the horse was very smart and walked and stopped without any signals, so I felt completely at ease.

ビーチアクティビティーも良いですが、ハワイの綺麗な海の横でのんびり乗馬も貴重な体験です。
とにかく眺めが良いので、テンションがあがりました。ただ、1時間も乗っているので、お尻が痛くなります(笑)
欲を言うと、歩くだけなので、走れるようになったらさらに楽しいだろうと、このことがきっかけで、乗馬に非常に、興味を持ちました。
ちなみに、日本語は全く通じないです。
説明は全て英語でした。
ただ、馬はとてもお利口さんで、何も合図しなくても、歩いたり止まったりしてくれて、何の不安もありませんでした。

The weather was great, and I was able to enjoy a panoramic view of Hawaii! The instructor entertained us by spinning around during the descent, making it a lot of fun. I highly recommend experiencing this at least once in a lifetime!

天気もよくて、ハワイの景色が一望できました！インストラクターさんが、下降中にくるくる回ってくれたり、楽しませてくれました。一生に一度は体験することをお勧めします！

I participated in skydiving at my husband's request! I tend to get motion sickness and I'm not good with roller coasters, so I wasn't very enthusiastic about it, but I thought it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience and decided to join.

I received cookies from our driver, Masa, and it was fun to take photos with specific poses!

During the flight, the instructors were very playful, which helped ease my nerves and created a friendly atmosphere! However, the moment we jumped out of the plane (or fell?), there was no countdown, and we just dropped suddenly!!! I wasn't mentally prepared for that!!! (laughs)

As for my impressions… my husband, who loves thrill rides, seemed to have the best time! He also paid extra for photos, and they provided the data on a USB.

As for me… I think I got really sick because I took the motion sickness medication at the last minute. However, the view was beautiful, so it became a great memory!

It was a lot of fun!!!

旦那のリクエストで参加したスカイダイビング！
私は乗り物酔いが激しく、ジェットコースター等も苦手なので乗り気で無かったですが
一生に1度と思い参加しました。
ドライバーのマサさんにクッキー貰ったり、写真もポーズ指定されて撮ってもらったりそれも楽しかったです！

飛行機の中ではインストラクターさんが沢山ちょっかいを出してきて
緊張もほぐれて和気あいあいとしてました！
ですが飛行機から降りる(落ちる？)瞬間はカウントダウンも無くいきなり落ちます!!!
心の準備が追いつきませんでした!!!笑

感想は…
絶叫系大好きな旦那は最高だったみたいです！
写真も別料金で撮ってもらってました。
USBでデータをくれます。

私は…酔い止めを飲んだ時間がギリギリだったからかガッツリ酔ってしまいました。。
ですが景色は綺麗だったのでいい思い出になりました！

楽しかったです！！！

I'm a beginner at horseback riding, but the horses are very well-trained, so I feel safe. I've really come to love horses. You can enjoy both the view of the ocean and riding through the windbreak forest. It's a wonderful time.

乗馬は初心者ですが、馬がとても馴れているので安心です。とても馬が好きになりました。海の眺めと防風林の乗馬両方楽しめます。とてもいい時間です。

We participated in the tour after convincing my husband, who wasn't very enthusiastic, that we could ride horses for 45 minutes. At Dole Plantation, we arrived early and bought pineapple ice as soon as it opened, leisurely looking at souvenirs and fresh pineapples. If we had more time, I would have liked to ride the train, but we had to give up after just 30 minutes. During the ride, there were explanations about various sights, including the "This is a tree, that is a tree" and the location of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. We also got a tour of Haleiwa, where we got off at our desired spots and headed to horseback riding after about an hour and a half. We enjoyed visiting CAMARON for garlic shrimp, a red dirt T-shirt shop, SOHO, and other stores. The main horseback riding took us along the coast and through the forest, and we said goodbye to the horses with a bittersweet feeling. On the way back, we finally got to see the Honu at North Shore. My husband was satisfied, and we want to go again.

45分乗馬を乗れるという事で、乗り気でなかったダンナを説得してツアーに参加。ドールプランテーションは朝早く、開店と同時にパイナップルアイスを買い、のんびりとお土産やはえたパイナップルを見ました。時間があれば汽車に乗りたいけど30分のみで断念。途中この木なんの木～や、パール・ハーバー日本軍侵入場所など車内で解説があり、初のハレイワも車に乗ってグルッと説明を受け行きたい所へ降り約1時間半頃に乗馬へ。私たちはCAMARONのガーリックシュリンプ、赤土のTシャツ屋さんやSOHO、他の店を回り楽しめました。メインの乗馬は乗って海岸沿いや森の中を回り最後は名残惜しい位の気持ちで馬とお別れしました。帰りにノースショアの海で念願のHonuにも会えました。ダンナさんも満足、また行きたいです。

My husband wanted to participate, so I reluctantly signed up. We were picked up at 5:15 AM and immediately handed the paperwork, which involved just checking boxes and occasionally signing. There was an explanation at the airport, but there were no staff who spoke Japanese, so I had to figure things out as I went along. After getting suited up, we practiced the arch position briefly before boarding the plane and taking off. I was nervous, but before I knew it, I was pushed from behind into the sky. It felt amazing!! It was not scary at all! I truly felt like a bird. I'm so glad I did it. I'm very satisfied.

主人が参加したいと言うので、イヤイヤ申し込みしてしまいました。朝５時１５分のピックアップですぐに書類を渡されひたすら✔と時々サインでした。飛行場について説明がありましたが、日本語が話せるスタッフは皆無で、なんとなく察する感じ。装備をつけてもらい、エビぞりの練習をチラッとしてすぐ飛行機へ乗り込み離陸、ドキドキでしたが恐いという間もなく、後ろから押されて空へ、　　　気持ちイイ！！　　全然怖くない！　まさに鳥になった気分。やって良かった。大満足です。

It was my first time skydiving, but the instructor was very entertaining, and I was able to dive without feeling nervous. Although I can't speak Japanese, they helped ease my tension.

The first dive went by in a flash, and I was able to see the breathtaking views of Hawaii, which was truly moving. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you.

You need to tip the instructor and the cameraman about $20 each. Since they are the ones who kept me safe, it's understandable! It's better to bring cash.

My husband and I participated, and since it was our first dive, we both ordered photos. I think it was about $140 each. It was disappointing that there was a difference of over 100 photos even though we paid the same amount. Also, whether it was the camera's performance or not, the colors of the photos were too different, which was quite shocking. The cameraman was a nice person, so I didn't want to say much, but comparing the photos made me feel sad. I didn't notice it at the time, but looking at the photos at home made me really sad, so I gave a rating of 2.

However, skydiving really became a great memory.

スカイダイビングは初めてでしたが、インストラクターの方がとても面白く、緊張することもなくダイブすることができました。日本語は話せないけど、緊張を和らげてくれていました。

初ダイブはあっという間で、ハワイの絶景が見渡せて、本当に感動です☆
素敵な思い出になりました。
ありがとうございます。

インストラクター・カメラマンそれぞれにチップ２０ドルぐらい必要です。
自分の命を守ってくれたのだから仕方ないですね!!!
現金は持って行った方がよいです。

夫婦で参加したのですが、初ダイブなので二人とも写真を注文しました。
一人１４０ドルぐらいだったと思います。
同じお金を払っているのに、写真の枚数が１００枚以上差があったのが残念でした。
あとカメラの性能なのか写真の色が違いすぎて、なんだかショックでした。
カメラマンの人も良い人だったので、あまり言いたくはないですが、見比べてしまうと、悲しくなってしまいました。
その場所で確認した時には気づきませんでしたが、自宅で写真みていて、すごく悲しくなってしまったので評価２にさせていただきました。

でもスカイダイビングはほんとにいい思い出になりました。

It takes more than 1 hour and 30 minutes from Waikiki. The 1 hour and 30 minute trail ride had gates every 200 meters, and after opening and closing them, we moved at a brisk pace and then to a gallop, without any worries about the horses running away. The horses also seemed to be stress-free. Along the way, a donkey followed us, and it was adorable. The lady was also very friendly with a lovely smile.

ワイキキからは1時間30分以上です。1時間30分のトレール乗馬は200mごとにでゲートがあり、それを開け閉めしてからの速足から駆足で、暴走の心配がなかったです。馬もストレスがないように見えました。途中でロバが後をついてきて、可愛かったです。お姉さんも笑顔が素敵だった。

Kualoa Ranch / One-hour ATV course was enjoyable and meaningful. Women can also have fun (if they have the determination).

クアロア牧場 / 四輪バギー1時間コース は、有意義に楽しめました。
女性も、楽しめます(根性が、あれば)

Last time, I went to Kualoa Ranch, so this time I came here.
The scenery was amazing, and I had a very peaceful time.
There were no other Japanese participants besides us, and the staff only spoke English.
Compared to Kualoa, there were fewer tourists, making it a hidden gem!

前回、クアロア牧場へ行ったので今回はこちらへ
景色が最高で、とっても穏やかな時間を過ごせました。
私たち以外、日本人の参加者は一組もおらず、アテンドは英語のみ。
クアロアに比べて観光客も少なく、穴場です！

It was our first experience for both of us. The drivers and instructors were very kind to us, who could hardly speak any English. It seems the weather wasn't very good, and we couldn't ascend to 14,000 feet, so they gave us a discount! (We didn't even notice how high we went!) The views were something you can only see while skydiving, and it became the best memory! If I get to go to Hawaii again, this is definitely an event I want to include in my plans!

私も彼女も初めての経験でした。現地までのドライバーさんやインストラクターの方々もほぼ英語のできない私達にとても親切に接していただきました。
あまり天候が良くなかったらしく、14.000フィートまで上昇できなかったみたいで料金も割引きしてくれました！(全然気づかないくらい上がってましたけどね) あんな景色スカイダイビングでないと見れなし最高の思い出になりました！
またハワイに行けたら必ず予定に入れたいイベントです‼️
