Oahu
Skydiving was amazing and became a wonderful memory for a lifetime! People from all over the world gather to do skydiving, creating an international atmosphere in the waiting area. Unfortunately, the restroom was out of order, which made it inconvenient for the men who had to relieve themselves outdoors. Also, since you do acrobatic maneuvers during the skydiving, it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand. About 10% of the participants felt unwell.
スカイダイビングは素晴らしく、一生のいい思い出になりました!
世界中からスカイダイビングやるひとが集まってきていて、国際的な雰囲気な待合小屋でした。
残念だったのはトイレが故障中であり、男子は野外立ちションでいろいろ不便なところがあります。
また、スカイダイビング中にアクロバティックなことをやるので酔い止め薬を飲んでおいたほうがいいです。参加者のうち1割ぐらいは気分悪くなってたので。
The shuttle driver was an expert at driving on tricky roads. It was great having water and a walking stick provided. And of course the scenery and waterfall were breathtaking.
Kualoa Ranch is very beautiful, the people that work there are very nice, I was scared at first to go on the zipline but after doing the first one, it was amazing... I would definitely do it again
This was my third time in Hawaii, and my first horseback riding experience! Initially, I was considering horseback riding at Kualoa, but I chose this place because I wanted to try the authentic garlic shrimp! As a result, I was thrilled to ride in the best location! The horses got distracted along the way and literally stopped to graze (~_~;), which was quite an amusing experience! Thank you to the friendly guide as well!
ハワイ3回目にして初めての乗馬❗️最初はクアロアで乗馬を考えていましたが、本場のガーリックシュリンプが食べたくてこっちにしました!結果最高のロケーションでの乗馬が出来て感激‼️お馬さん達は、途中食欲に負けて文字どうりの道草(~_~;)これも中々の面白い体験でした‼️親切なガイドさんもありがとう〜〜‼️
The tour guide was funny and very kind. You must experience sky dining while you're alive; it's a waste not to!!! The breathtaking view left me speechless, and I was just trying to imprint the scenery in my mind. The instructor, Misha, was also very kind. I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii!!!
ツアーガイドのおじいちゃんが面白くて、とても親切にしていただきました。スカイダイニングは生きているうちに体験しなければもったいない!!!!!
あまりの絶景に言葉が出ず、ただただ景色を目に焼き付けていました。インストラクターのMishaもとても親切でした。ハワイへ行ったらまた絶対に参加します!!!!!
We participated as a couple because we wanted to experience it. We were picked up early in the morning. Right away, we were asked to fill out a contract, and while there was an explanation, it was very rough and made us a bit anxious. The driving was also rough, and I felt so car sick that it was hard to read and fill out the contract, so everyone, please be careful.
As soon as we arrived, we were shown to our room, where they checked for any omissions in the contract and explained the upcoming schedule, but it was hard to understand. We were called right away, so we prepared and boarded the plane immediately. As the plane ascended, we enjoyed some amazing views that made us forget our fears. Gradually, as we gained altitude, the photographer opened the plane door, and when he gave the go-ahead, we had to brace ourselves. It was a very liberating dive, unlike a free fall! During the dive, the scenery was beautiful, and the exhilaration was incredible, but my ears hurt a lot. If you can't equalize your ears, you might not enjoy it. I had a great time descending slowly to the ground, but my wife's instructor was playful, spinning and diving sharply, which scared her a lot. She seemed to get sick afterward as well. The instructor who entertained us with the parachute was just luck. Mine was named Rick. My wife's instructor was a young jokester, but I’m sorry, I don’t remember his name.
To be honest, I feel like once in a lifetime is enough. My wife said she would never do it again (laughs).
と思い体験したいと思い夫婦で参加しました。
朝早くピックアップしてもらいました。すぐに契約書の記入を求められて説明がありましたが、とても雑な説明で少し不安になりました。また運転が荒く契約書を読み記入することも厳しいくらい車酔いしましたので、皆さん気をつけて下さい。
到着してすぐ部屋に案内されて契約書の記入漏れがないかの確認、これからのタイムスケジュールの説明がありましたが分かりづらかったです。私たちはすぐ名前が呼ばれたので準備をしてすぐ飛行機に。飛行機が高度を上げていく間は恐怖心もなくなるくら素晴らしい景色が楽しめました。徐々に高度が上がっていきカメラマンが飛行機のドアを開けたらゴーサインなので覚悟を決めてください。フリーホールとも違いすごい開放的なダイブでした!ダイビング最中、景色はとても綺麗で爽快感がすごいですが、とても耳が痛かったです。耳抜きできないと楽しめないかもしれません。私の方はゆっくり地上に降りて楽しかったですが、妻の方のインストラクターはグルグル回ったり急降下したりとおふざけがありとても怖かったそうです。降りてからも酔ってしまったようです。パラシュートで楽しませてくれるインストラクターはもう運ですね。私の方はリックという名前でした。妻の方はお調子者の若い人だったみたいで名前覚えてません、すいません。
正直な感想は人生一回でいいかなって感じです。妻は二度とやらないと言っていました(笑)
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
While we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the free fall and the scenery during the descent, we sincerely apologize that your wife, who joined you, felt scared and seemed to have gotten motion sickness, preventing her from fully enjoying the experience.
Upon confirming with the local operating company regarding the details of the descent, we learned that adjustments are made to ensure a safe return to the ground based on the situation at the time. Therefore, even if jumps are made at the same time, the descent may not be the same for everyone. Additionally, if someone experiences motion sickness during the descent, our local staff is available to provide assistance if notified at that moment. We understand that the lack of explanation may have contributed to your wife's anxiety, and we apologize for that.
We take your feedback seriously and will work with the operating company to improve our services in the future.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback during your busy schedule.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
フリーフォールや降下中の景色をお楽しみいただいたものの、ご一緒に参加されました奥様は怖い思いをされ、更には酔ってしまわれたようで、お楽しみいただくことができず申し訳ございません。
今回の内容を現地催行会社に確認させていただきましたところ、降下につきましては、その時の状況に応じて安全に地上に戻れるよう都度調整しているため、同じタイミングでジャンプされた場合でも同じように降下はしないとのことでございます。
また、降下中に酔ってしまった場合、その時、現地スタッフにお申し出いただけましたら対処法をご案内しておりますが、ご指摘されております通り説明が至らなかかったため、不安なお気持ちだったかと察します。
お客様からのお言葉を真摯に受け止め、催行会社と共に、今後さらなるサービス向上に努めてまいります。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

The Zipline and the guides were awesome. I would highly recommend the Zipline as it was just amazing and so much fun.
I was pretty disappointed with the secret island adventure and wish I would have saved my money. There was no snorkeling and staff were not interactive with guests. I had never SUP board before and it would have been nice for a staff to explain or even get in the water and help guests. There was definitely enough staff on the island...
Our guide mentioned that this was one of the worst weather conditions he had experienced in his guiding career, with heavy rain. We received ponchos and, feeling somewhat skeptical, prepared ourselves. Everyone put on their ponchos and we started our jungle hike. At that moment, I was filled with the feeling of, "Are we really going out in this weather?"
As soon as we stepped into the residential area, we were surrounded by a lush green jungle. Shortly after we began walking, we encountered vibrant pink ginger flowers and bright red heliconias. We crossed a swollen stream and made our way through a bamboo grove, where a large waterfall appeared before us. We took a commemorative photo in front of the waterfall, which was flowing abundantly. On our way back, we crossed the stream again, which had increased in volume, and I found myself enjoying the even richer greenery thanks to the rain. I was so glad to have this experience!
After the hike, we drove to the starting point for mountain biking. While the bikes were being prepared, the rain stopped and we were ready to start. The guide and staff ensured our safety, and since we descended at a leisurely pace, we had the opportunity to enjoy the scenery. We had lunch at a spot where we could see all of Waikiki. The view was amazing, and the sandwiches were very delicious.
Since it was an English tour, we were the only Japanese participants, but it was okay even without speaking English! I had a great time. I would definitely like to participate again.
ガイドさんもガイド歴の中で1,2番の悪天候という大雨の中、ポンチョをもらい半信半疑で準備。全員ポンチョを着てジャングルハイキングスタート。この時はまだ「この天気でも本当に行くの~?」という気持ちでいっぱいでした。
住宅街から一歩入るともうそこは濃い緑のジャングルの中。歩き始めて間もなく鮮やかなピンクのジンジャーの花。真っ赤なストレチア。増水した小川を超えて、竹藪の中を進んでいくうちに目の前に大きな滝。なみなみとした水量をたたえた滝の前で記念撮影。帰りはさらに水量を増した小川を超えて進むうちに、雨のおかげで一層濃くなった緑を楽しむ自分を発見。こんな経験ができてよかった~。
ハイキング終了後マウンテンバイクのスタート地点まで車で移動。自転車を準備してもらっている間に雨も止みスタート。ガイドさんとスタッフの方が安全確保をしてくれて、ゆっくりペースで下っていくので景色を楽しむ余裕もありました。途中ワイキキが一望できる場所でランチ。景色も素晴らしく、サンドイッチもとても美味しかったです。
英語のツアーということで日本人は私達だけでしたが、英語ができなくても大丈夫!楽しめました。
また、ぜひ参加したいと思います。
ありがとう、あなたの優しい言葉に感謝します!またすぐに私たちを訪れてください。
Mahalo for you kind words! Come visit us again soon.
I participated during free time.
I was with the horseback riding group.
I also spent about 30 minutes at the Dole Plantation. It was nice that it was not crowded since it was right after opening.
After that, I had free time on the North Shore. I think the timing was just right for enjoying the garlic chicken, visiting the original Kua 'Aina, and shopping.
Later, after visiting a few beaches to see sea turtles, I rejoined the horseback riding group and headed to Waikiki.
I felt that being able to sleep in the car on the way back was something you can only do on a tour.
The guide/driver had a very calm tone, which was nice.
Since it was hard to hear the name, I thought it would have been even better if there were name tags in the car.
I would like to participate again.
フリータイムで参加しました。
乗馬の方と一緒でした。
ドールにも30分ほどよりました。開店直後なので空いていてよかったです。
その後はノースショアのフリータイム。
フリフリチキンに、クアアイナの本店、買い物など、ちょうどいい時間だったと思います。
その後、ウミガメを見にいくつかビーチをまわったあと、乗馬の方と合流で、ワイキキへ。でした。
帰りの車で眠れたのはツアーじゃないとできないと思いました。
ガイドの運転手の方もとても穏やかな口調で良かったです。
名前が聞き取りにくかったので車に名札でもあると尚良かったと思います。
また参加したいです。
I signed up for the "Free Time Plan" with my colleagues at work. I had already visited Haleiwa several times, but the tours usually only offered about an hour of free time, which didn't allow for much freedom. However, this "Free Time Plan" provides about three and a half hours of free time, allowing you to go wherever you like at your leisure.
I strolled from Macky's Shrimp Truck to Haleiwa Beach Park, taking breaks at a café, having lunch, and shopping along the way. I truly enjoyed exploring Haleiwa from one end to the other! This is a convenient and excellent plan for those who want to go wherever they please without being tied to a tour schedule.
会社の同僚と「フリータイムプラン」に申込みました。
ハレイワは既に何度か訪れている街だったのですが、フリー時間が1時間程度のツアーばかりでなかなか自由が利きません。
しかし、この「フリータイムプラン」はフリー時間が3時間半程度あり、気ままに好きな場所へ行くことが出来ます。
マッキーズのシュリンプトラックからハレイワビーチパークまで散策しましたが、途中カフェで休憩をしたり、昼食をとったり、買い物をしたりと、まさにハレイワの端から端まで堪能できました!
ツアースケジュールに縛られず、好きなところへ行きたい方には手軽で最高のプランです。
I was anxious because I couldn't communicate, but the instructor was very kind and attentive, so there were no problems at all.
Jumping from the top of the mountain was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience.
I brought my phone to take pictures, but I recommend not bringing it because if you drop it, it would be a serious issue.
言葉が通じないので不安だったがインストラクターの方はとても優しく丁寧だったのでなんの問題もなかった
山の上から飛ぶのは非常に気持ちよく楽しい体験をすることができました
写真を撮るために携帯を持って行ったのですが落としたらシャレにならないので持って行かないことをおすすめします
I'm not good with heights or roller coasters, but since it was a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, I challenged myself with my husband! I won't forget the fear before jumping from 4000m. Once I jumped, the view was breathtaking! It was absolutely amazing and not scary at all (^o^)★ The Earth is round! I will definitely do it again! It was the best!!
高い所もジェットコースターも苦手だけど新婚旅行で一生に一度だからと旦那と挑戦!4000mから飛ぶ前のあの怖さ忘れません。笑 飛んだら絶景!とにかく絶景で全然怖くなく最高でした (^o^)★地球は丸かった!また絶対やります!最高!!
Shopping and lunch in the North were great, and afterwards, I went horseback riding by the beach, which was incredibly relaxing. The horses were smart and cute, and the scenery was amazing—I was very satisfied! ♡
ノースでの買い物やランチも出来てその後は海辺の乗馬ですごく癒されました。馬もお利口で可愛いし、景色は最高で大満足でした♡
I wrote the waiver in the car on the way there and watched a DVD with explanations. The DVD was in English, but the subtitles were only in Korean and Chinese, so it would have been nice to have Japanese subtitles as well.
When we arrived, it was raining, so we waited for about two hours before we could finally take off. I was nervous during the flight to the point in the Cessna, but once we jumped, I felt no fear, and the parachute opened in no time.
We floated for about five minutes while enjoying the breathtaking views of the North Shore before landing!
Lastly, I think it's a good idea to prepare about $20 in tips for the instructor who jumped with us. I didn't request a camera this time, but I would like to ask for one if I have the chance again.
現地に向かう車の中で誓約書を書き、説明のDVDを見ました。DVDが英語で字幕がハングルと中国語しかなかったので、日本語の字幕もあるといいなという感じでした。
着いた時に雨が降っていた為、約2時間程待ってやっと飛べました。セスナ機でポイントまで向かう間はドキドキでしたが、飛び出してからは恐さはなくあっという間にパラシュートが開きました。
ノースショアの絶景を楽しみながら約5分ほど浮遊して着地しました‼
最後に、一緒に飛んでくれたインストラクターのBOXにチップを20ドル程入れるので前もって準備していた方がいいと思います。
今回、カメラは頼みませんでしたがまた機会があったらお願いしたいと思います。
When it was our turn, unfortunately, clouds rolled in, so we couldn't reach 4260 meters, but they properly refunded us even though we didn't know how high we had gone. I think the company itself is a good one, and I had a valuable experience, so I'm very satisfied. Many people in our group didn't take photos, but I think it's better to request them. By the way, I'm not good with thrill rides. Those are scarier for me (laughs).
私達の番になった時には運悪く雲が出てきてしまったため、4260mまで行く事は出来ませんでしたが、どの高度まで上がっているのかわからないのにきちんと返金してくれました。
会社自体も良い会社だと思いますし、貴重な体験が出来、大変満足しています。同じグループになった方たちは写真を撮られない方が多かったのですが写真も頼んだ方が良いと思いますよ。
ちなみに私は絶叫マシーンは苦手です。そちらの方が怖いです(笑)
■Pickup
Around 5 AM, a pickup arrived at the hotel, and I was handed some documents. I read through the text in the car and signed a waiver, but be careful of motion sickness as the roads are bumpy.
In the car, a video in Japanese plays explaining that they can't take responsibility if you die while skydiving, and that the parachute may not open.
■Arrival at the Airport - Check-in
Upon arriving at the airport, I was taken to a room with small benches where I received a completely English explanation... What a surprise, it wasn't in Japanese!!!!
After most of the explanation was done, I was called up and asked questions like, "Are you just going to jump? Do you want a photographer?" While waiting in line, some people were directed to the Japanese class, while others, despite showing their Japanese passports, were not taken to the Japanese class.
I wasn't taken either, even though it said there would be a Japanese briefing... (I really wanted the explanation in Japanese...)
■Check-in Notes
The voucher was taken by the driver, but I was asked for the voucher again, and since the driver went missing, it would be better to prepare two vouchers or have the email ready to show immediately.
(I was checking the altitude on my email screen.)
■Waiting Time
They called out names for those who were ready, but it was raining from the morning. I waited for about 6 hours (or more?) until the clouds cleared after 1 PM.
(At first, they said we would wait until 11 AM, but I think we waited because some people were able to jump when it cleared up. There was nothing around, and I was really bored, so I recommend bringing something to pass the time!)
So, I was told to quickly put my belongings in a locker, but it’s safer not to store them right away, especially your phone. Lockers cost 25 cents for four. You can also exchange bills.
■Skydiving
It was amazing until the parachute opened. The feeling of the air as you jump is incredible. It’s a sensation I’ve never experienced before, with the wind blowing against my body. It was super fun.
After the parachute opened, the instructor was quite the character; even though he told me to spin, he kept saying, "Haha! I got it, I got it," while spinning around, and even though he said to go slowly, he was descending quickly, saying, "Haha! I got it, I got it." It wasn’t a joke; it genuinely made me feel nauseous. I thought I might throw up. I wanted to enjoy the scenery more slowly... but I think he meant well. It wasn’t necessary, though.
I could see the altimeter in the plane, and honestly thought, "Wait, we're jumping from here?" I wish they had told me earlier if we couldn't go higher. I had to rebook for the next day.
It was amazing until the parachute opened, so that’s what I regret the most.
*I took a one-day type of motion sickness medication, but because the waiting time was so long, I didn’t feel any effect by the time I jumped. I got really nauseous. I think it depends on the instructor.
I believe you need motion sickness medication for the car ride in the morning, so I recommend taking something that works quickly just before jumping!
■Tips
There are boxes for tips for each staff member, and you can put them in after the jump. You don’t have to worry about how to give them.
■Image and Video Check
Since I had a photographer, I was told to check the images and videos. Until my footage played, I just stared at videos of strangers. The data is purchased on a USB, so I recommend bringing it back as carry-on luggage.
■Return to the Hotel
It seems the car left right after I finished jumping, so I was left behind, and I ended up returning around 5 PM. The others who came with me had jumped much earlier. The order here is a mystery. Is it by application order?
On the day of skydiving, it might be better to think of it as lucky if you can return early.
■Impressions
Overall, I’m glad I did it! However, I’m really disappointed that the weather didn’t coopera
■迎え
朝の五時くらいにホテルに迎えが来て、書類を渡されます。車の中で文章を読み、誓約書に署名をするのですが、悪路が多いので車酔い注意です。
車の中では、スカイダイビングで死んでも責任取れないよ。パラシュートは開かないことがあるよという日本語の説明のビデオが流れてます。
■飛行場到着〜受付
飛行場に到着すると小さめのベンチが並ぶ部屋に連れて行かれ、完全英語の説明を受けました。。。なんてこった日本語じゃない!!!!
あらかた説明が終わると前に呼ばれ、「飛ぶだけ?カメラマンつける?」みたいな質問されます。並んでる最中に、日本語のクラスはあっちよみたいな感じで指示される人もいれば、
日本のパスポート出してるのに、日本語クラスに連れて行ってもらえない人もいました。
連れて行ってもらえませんでした。日本語講習って書いてあったのに。。。(日本語で説明受けたかったです。。)
■受付補足
バウチャーは運転手さんに持って行かれたのですが、ここでもバウチャー出してって言われた上、運転手さんが行方不明になっていたので、バウチャー2枚用意して行くか、メールの文面はすぐ出せるようにしておいた方が良いです。
(メール画面で高度確認してました。)
■待ち時間
用意のできた人から名前を呼ばれるんですが、行った日は朝から雨。雲が晴れる1時過ぎまで約6時間(それ以上?)ただひたすら待ちました。
(最初は待つのは11時までと言っていたんですが、たまに晴れて飛べる人たちが居たので待ったのかと。周りに何もなく、本気で暇なので、時間つぶし持って行った方が良いと思います!)
なので、荷物はロッカーにとっととしまえみたいに言われるんですが、すぐしまわない方が無難です。特に携帯。ロッカーは25セント4枚。紙幣も両替できます。
■スカイダイビング
パラシュートが開くまでは最高でした。飛び降りる瞬間の空気がうわーってなる感じ。あれはすごい。全身の脂肪が風にふかれて味わったことのない感覚。超楽しかったです。
パラシュート開いた後からはインストラクターがどエスだったので、回んなって言ってるのに「はっはっは!分かった分かった」って言いながらグルグル回るし、ゆっくりって言ってるのに「はっはっは!分かった分かった」って早く降りるし、フリじゃねーよ、本気で気持ち悪いよ。色んなもの吐くよって思いました。もっとゆっくり景色を楽しみたかった。。。いや親切心だったんだと思います。いらなかったけど。
飛行機の中で高度計見れるんですが、え、ここで飛ぶの?と正直思いました。上がれないなら先に言って欲しかった。次の日に予約し直したのに。
パラシュートが開くまでは最高だったので、本当それだけは無念です。
※私は1日タイプの酔い止めを飲んだのですが、待ち時間が非常に長かったためか、飛ぶ頃には全然効果を感じられませんでした。激酔いました。ここはインストラクター運あると思います。
酔い止めは朝の車用にも必要だと思うので、数時間タイプで、飛ぶ直前に速攻効くものを飲む事をお勧めします!
■チップ
チップはそれぞれ担当さんのボックスがあって、終わった後入れられるようになっています。渡し方とか考えなくて平気です。
■画像と映像のチェック。
カメラマンを入れたので、画像と映像チェックしてねと言われました。とりあえず自分のが流れるまでただひたすら知らない人の映像を眺めます。データはUSB購入なので、帰りは手荷物で持って帰る事を勧めます。
■ホテルに帰還
飛び終わってすぐ車が出てしまったようで、置いて行かれたので、戻れたのは結局17時頃でした。他に一緒に来た人たちはかなり先の方に飛んでました。ここの順番謎。申し込み順?
スカイダイビングする日は、早く帰れたらラッキーくらいの感覚でいた方が良いかもしれません。
■感想
全体的にやってよかった!と思うものの、天気に恵まれなかったのと最高高度までいけなかったのがすごい無念です。カメラマンさんは迷ってるならいれることを勧めます。簡単に出来る事じゃないし、やっぱり帰ってきてゆっくり確認してるとジワジワ飛んだ実感がわきます。
ちなみに私が訪問した時は、ベルトラさんで予約するより、直接オフィシャルのWEBサイトで予約する方が安かったです(ドル換算ですが)。
なぜこちらにしたかというと、高度に「絶対保証」と書かれていたためです。
最高高度まで行けなかったら説明がある、もしくは全額返金いただけるものと思っていました。上の説明にはそう書いてあるので。
(※実際は差額の返金で、そのことは下方の注意書きに書かれていました。)
I thought skydiving was so dangerous activity but when i had seen the guide jumper, all of my worries was gone. So It was very comfortable and exiting, joyful, happy and so on....As i was fallen down from the plane all of my stresses flied out of mind either.The rainbow in the air was very awsome, fantastic and really looks like Howaii.I want to try to with my lovely relatives and friends. thank you.
Our guide, Kai, was absolutely amazing! While we weren't able to make it to the swimming hole due to massive amounts of rain making it unsafe at the water crossings, he took us on an additional hiking section where we got to see various parts of the trail. The lunch provided was hand-made and was delicious... wish I knew how to make those rolls! I would more than recommend this excursion with Kai... he gets more than 5 stars!
Our first time in a helicopter and it was a fantastic experience. Seeing the island from this perspective is a must. Our pilot, Jim, was absolutely the best. He was highly informative and so funny. His piloting skills were phenomenal. If we are fortunate enough to make a return trip to the island, we will be flying again with these folks and we will definetely be requesting Jim as our pilot.
My wife and I booked the magnum experience w/out a landing and doors! We absolutely loved the 60 minute flight and am very glad we didn't book a short flight. The staff were very nice and easy to work with. The pilot (Ky....?) was amazing!! He provided great information about the island and where we were at. He honored every request we had and kept the flight interesting! My wife is terrified of flying but sat between the pilot and me. She loved the experience! This is the ONLY way to view Oahu! Fantastic job by Paradise and very thankful to be so blessed with this opportunity. We will definitely ensure ton fly with Paradise again! If you are in Oahu and reading this comment- just do it! It's just money. I promise the cost will provide a lifetime of priceless memories. Kids would also enjoy the helicopter flight. Thank you so much to Paradise for a truly unforgettable and smooth experience.
Jim, our pilot, was seriously great. From the moment Peter picked us up, I wasn't jittery. And I get jittery. But everything was calm and relaxing and the tour was great! Jim was hilarious and knowledgable.
Thanks, Ardi, for taking the time to write. A good review is like catnip to our folks...they love getting feedback. I'm glad that you enjoyed your experience.
Our zipline adventure was amazing! I am sure we help set the tone for the morning, but the guys were absolutely great! They were very personable, knowledgeable and really knew how to have fun with us. I would recommend this excursion for anyone who wants a little adventure and wants to have fun doing it!
It was fun.
I think it's something you should experience at least once in your life.
After jumping (or falling?), I was completely exhausted.
Before going, I was concerned about the tip, but considering the instructors who work hard every day risking their lives, I think it's reasonable to pay around $20.
I also requested photos. They have become great memories of the trip.
楽しかったです。
人生で一度くらいは経験してもいいのではないでしょうか?
飛んだ(落ちた?)あとはぐったりと疲れました。
行く前はチップのことが気になっていましたが、
毎日命がけで働いてるインストラクターさんのことを思えば20ドルくらいは
きちんと払ってあげてもいいのではないでしょうか?
写真もお願いしました。旅行のいい思い出になっています。
On May 30th, I tried ziplining, which I had been interested in for a while during the Hawaiian holiday. It was refreshing! The views were amazing! As a middle-aged couple at 49, we were as excited as kids! The apple bananas at the water station were delicious. Although no one spoke Japanese, we had a fantastic time. If the price were a bit lower...
5/30ハワイの祝日に以前から興味があったジップラインをやってきました。
気分爽快!景色最高!49歳の中年夫婦 子供のようにはしゃいでしまいました!
途中の給水ポイントでのアップルバナナおいしかった。
日本語は一切通じませんが、めっちゃ楽しかったです。
値段がもう少し安ければ…
I felt a bit lonely participating alone, but the instructors and the other participants really lifted my spirits, so it was no problem at all. Skydiving is truly an amazing experience! You won't understand that feeling unless you try it. I'm really glad I gathered the courage to do it.
一人での参加で心細かったのですが、インストラクターの方たちや一緒の参加の方たちが盛り上げてくれたので全く問題ありませんでした。スカイダイビングは本当に素晴らしい体験!やってみなきゃあの感覚はわからない。勇気を出してやって本当によかったです。
I slowly rode while looking at Turtle Bay. It felt so nice. The horses were calm and very gentle. I'm sorry for being a heavy lady. It was a very enjoyable and delightful horseback riding experience in Hawaii. They guided us to the shrimp lunch early, so we could eat right away without waiting. It was delicious!
タートルベイを横に見ながらゆっくりと乗馬します。まあ~気持ちのいいこと。
おとなしくてとっても優しい馬たち。重たいオバサンでごめんなさいね。
とても楽しいうれしいハワイでの乗馬体験でした。シュリンプのランチも早めに
案内してくれて待つことなくすぐに食べられました。美味しかった~。
so awesome so fun!!! felt safe and had fun the entire time!
The view from up there - above the clouds - is beyond words. I am very very glad I did it. Everyone was very pleasant. Brad and Kai are the best - the rest are equally capable.
Visited the Ranch as a family of 5. We rented a Raptor for 1 hr since 2 hrs were no longer offered. We drove around in what seemed like a circle for 1 hr. Stopped twice for about 2 minutes and we it was over. The location was beautiful but the tour is overpriced and over rated. Save your money.
We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and it was our first time trying horseback riding. I had always wanted to try riding, but I was hesitant to jump into multiple activities for several hours, so I booked just a one-hour horseback riding course.
One of my biggest concerns for this honeymoon was that we chose a course at Kualoa Ranch, which is quite far from Waikiki, and it didn't include transportation, so I wasn't sure how to get there. For those in the same situation, here are some tips:
1. Take the number 55 bus, which runs once an hour from Ala Moana Center. (You can check the bus schedule using the DaBus app.)
2. Get off at KAMEHAMEHA HWY + OPP KUALOA RANCH. (There are several bus stops with KUALOA in the name, so be careful not to get off at the wrong one.)
3. Right in front of you as you get off is the entrance to Kualoa Ranch.
For the return trip, there is a bus stop on the opposite side of the road, so I recommend taking the bus back to Ala Moana Center. It took just a little over an hour by bus from Ala Moana Center.
Finally, when it was time for horseback riding, the horses were prepared for the women first. As my wife got on her horse and waited, her horse was already a bit restless. When I got on my horse next to hers, it seemed that our horses didn't get along and started to fight, which scared my wife and almost made her want to quit. However, after changing her horse, we were able to set off.
After that, both my horse and my wife's horse calmed down, and we enjoyed an hour of riding. (My wife was too nervous to fully enjoy the scenery, though...) Just as I was getting comfortable with riding, the hour was up, and I wished there had been a 90-minute option available.
Kualoa Ranch itself is a beautiful and pleasant place, so I would like to try other activities there next time.
ハネムーンでお互い初めてハワイに行き、初めての乗馬に挑戦でした。
乗馬は1度してみたかったけど、あんまりガッツリ何時間も、いくつものアクティビティにいきなり挑戦するのは気が引けたので、とりあえず乗馬だけ1時間のコースを予約していきました。
実は今回のハネムーンで一番気がかりだったことがこのクアロア牧場で、ワイキキから結構遠い所にあるのに、送迎が付いていないコースを選択したため、そもそもどう行っていいか分かりませんでした。
同じ方は結構居るようなので、参考までに記載しますと、
1.アラモアナ・センターから1時間に1本ペースで出ている55番バスに乗ります。
(バスの時間はDaBusのアプリなどで調べると良いです)
2.KAMEHAMEHA HWY+OPP KUALOA RANCH で降ります。
(手前にKUALOAと付くバス停が何個かあるのでお間違えなく)
3.降りてすぐ目の前にクアロア牧場の入口があります。
帰りも反対車線の所にバス停があるので、そこから乗ってアラモアナ・センターまで帰るのが良いと思います。(バスでアラモアナ・センターから1時間ちょっとでした)
いよいよ乗馬となってまずは、女性から先にお馬さんが用意されて案内されていきました。
嫁さんの馬も用意されて乗っかり待っていると、その状態から既にお馬さんが少し暴れていて、私もお馬さんに乗り隣に着いたら、今度は私の馬と嫁さんの馬の相性が合わないらしく喧嘩しだしてしまい、嫁さんが怖がりリタイアしかけましたが、嫁さんのお馬さんを変更してもらいどうにか出発できました。
その後私のお馬さんも嫁さんのお馬さんもおとなしく1時間の乗馬を楽しむことが出来ました。
(嫁さんは緊張しすぎて景色を楽しむまではいけなかったようですが。。。)
私も乗馬に十分慣れてきたところで1時間の乗馬が終わってしまったので、出来たら90分とかのコースがあったらよかったです。
このクアロア牧場自体がとても綺麗な場所で気持ち良い場所だったので、今度は乗馬以外のものもトライしてみたいと思います。
