The tour was amazing! Over Hawaii locations on a prefect Hawaii day... what more can you ask for!? The tour guide was entertaining and well knowledge. But the fact that we had to share the tour with 10-12 year old boys kind of killed the romantic part of the tour. It's a GREAT experience! Although staying in Waikiki and driving to the North Shore was kind of a hassel and took one hour... the helicopter tour made up for part of it. I would recommend to first timers to the island.

My husband and I are first time visitors to Hawaii and wanted to see some of the beautiful sights but also wanted something laid back. This was the perfect thing to do. Coming from Waikiki Beach we ended up renting a convertible for the day and it was a beautiful drive up the coast. We got there a little early and found several treasures in the gift shop. There were riders with a varied range of experience in our group (including a first timer or two) and a great time was had by all. We opted for the 2 hour tour and definitely recommend it. The back side of the mountain was a little more challenging but still quite safe and great fun. The views were fabulous and there were several photo opportunities including some of the tv/movie locations, our guides even picked some guava from the trees which was a lovely treat. Make sure you heed their warning about wearing long pants as there is quite a bit of heat coming out of the ATV around your legs after a while and closed-toed shoes a

Great day of events. For me the sailing portion made the day very long. I would not recommend all three in the future.
The hike and biking experience was awesome. Some of the guides on the boat were not as friendly or welcoming as I experienced on my other excursions. Kind of put a damper on an otherwise good experience.

On the day of the event, it was clear and almost windless. It was the perfect day for diving.
This was my second time skydiving. I forced a slightly reluctant friend to join me.
The location was in the northwest part of Oahu. The scenery looked like something out of Field of Dreams. The hot dog I had while waiting was delicious. A group of Harleys passed by, and the relaxed atmosphere was great.
There was a Japanese explanation video and staff who could communicate in Japanese. There were quite a few participants, around 40 people, including couples and groups. About 40% of the participants were Japanese.
No special knowledge was required. When I dove in Florida before, I had to manage things like reading the altimeter and operating the parachute, which was quite serious. This time, everything was left to the instructors. So, it might be a bit unsatisfying for those who want to do more themselves.
The instructors were very kind and experienced. They picked up on my slight anxiety and kept the mood light and fun. Thank you, Instructor Stephan, for being "the most dangerous instructor" (as George said).
Photos and videos are optional, but I especially recommend the video. When I jumped in Florida, I didn't order the video, so I regretted not having "proof" to show off to someone in Japan. Therefore, it's definitely a good idea to order the video. It's a wonderful video with cool music. Thank you, Ash.
On the day, there were many participants, and I felt the waiting time was a bit long. However, spending time leisurely with a hot dog and beer while watching others jump is also a nice way to spend a holiday.
It's scarier than a roller coaster but not as scary as bungee jumping. I highly recommend this activity for those who have never done it before.

I read other companies' experiences and was worried, so I opted for Japanese support. The explanations were clear with videos, and the foreign staff who flew with us were very accommodating, making it a wonderful memory. It was the best skydiving experience that blew away my fear of flying. I want to do it again and again. There was a Japanese lady who provided video explanations, but she didn't smile at all and seemed a bit angry, which was a minor downside; otherwise, there were no issues. I didn't bring any money, so I couldn't take videos or photos, but I definitely recommend getting them even if they are expensive. 😊

I recommend this for those who have visited Manoa Falls as mentioned in the guidebook and felt they could walk more or want a bit more adventure!
There were seven participants, including myself. Three were solo travelers, one couple, and one married couple, all from the mainland United States. The guide primarily spoke English but also shared a little bit of Japanese. I think even those who don't understand English at all will be fine. Rather, we were walking quite a bit, so there wasn't much opportunity for conversation during the hike.
It felt more like trekking off the beaten path than I expected, so I think it's better to wear trekking shoes or change into borrowed rubber boots. I went in short sleeves and shorts, but even with insect repellent, I still got bitten (the swelling went down quickly♪), so I recommend long pants for those who are prone to mosquito bites. As for belongings, everything was fine as listed.
ガイドブックに載っているマノアの滝に行った方で、歩き足りなかった方やもう少し冒険したい方にオススメです!
参加者は私を含め7名でした。一人参加が3名、カップル1組、ご夫婦1組で、全員アメリカ本土からの方でした。ガイドは基本的に英語ですが、ほんの少し知ってる日本語を披露してくれました。全く英語がわからない方でも平気だと思います。とゆうより、かなり頑張って歩くので移動中はみんな話す余裕はなかったです。
思ったより道なき道を進む感じで、トレッキングシューズを履いていくか、長靴が借りられるので履き替えた方がよいと思います。半袖&ハーフパンツで行きましたが、虫除けスプレーをしても刺されてしまったので(すぐ腫れは引きました♪)、蚊に刺されやすい方は長ズボンをお勧めします。持ち物などは、記載された通りで平気でした。

This was my absolute favorite activity that I did in Hawaii. My husband and I were there for two weeks and did a lot and the ATV tour was by FAR our favorite.
The views from valley were unlike anything I had ever seen. If your looking for something to take your breath away Kualoa Ranch is where it's at. While there it was raining, which made it more fun. On that side of the island it rains a bit so be prepared for it. I believe they have ponchos there if you want them. But my hubby and I didn't and we got soaked which was fine by us.
Driving around in the ATVs was exciting. It was my hubby's first time riding one and he had a little trouble. But the instructors were friendly and took him under their wing a bit. After the two hours of amazing views and seeing all the wildlife they took us too a little field and let just drive around which was a lot of fun.
I will do this again on my next trip for sure.

I hesitated to participate because I'm not very comfortable with heights, but in the end, I'm glad I did it.
At first, I was anxious after signing a contract stating, "I will not sue no matter what happens," but thanks to the friendly and reliable instructor, by the time we were diving, my expectations outweighed my fears.
When falling from 14,000 feet, the wind pressure is so intense that I couldn't even close my mouth, but once the parachute opened, I was simply amazed by the breathtaking views below. The instructor showed us the scenery from different angles, explaining it in simple English like a tour guide. It was the best sky adventure.
I was really torn about whether to order the photos because they were expensive, but I'm glad I did. They took many pictures, and being able to look at them later allowed me to enjoy the experience even more after the trip. It became my favorite memory from Hawaii.
For those who are hesitating, you absolutely should do it!!
高いところがあまり得意ではないため参加するか迷いましたが、結果は、やってよかったです。
はじめに、「何があっても訴えません」という内容の契約書にサインさせられ、不安がよぎりますが、気さくで頼りがいのあるインストラクターのお陰で、ダイビングする頃には、不安より、期待の方が大きくなっています。
14000フィートから落ちる時は、風圧がすごくて、口がつむれないほどですが、パラシュートを開いてからは、眼下に広がる素晴らしい景色に、ただただ感動します。
インストラクターが、簡単な英語で、観光案内のように、角度をかえて、景色を見せてくれます。最高の空の旅でした。
写真が高かったので、頼むか相当迷いましたが、これも頼んでよかったです。
何枚も撮ってもらえますし、後で客観的に見れるので、旅の後も楽しめます。
ハワイで一番の思い出になりました。

Not only was this my first time on the beautiful island of Hawaii it was also the first time I had ever been on a helicopter. I spent 9 nights on the island and the helicopter tour was, by far, the most enjoyable hour during my entire stay. The pilot was very knowledgeable of the areas we toured and informative. His sidekick, (Ziggy), was a hit with everyone in our group. I would highly, highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the island. You couldn't find a better attractiion on the entire island than this tour. I am returning to the island in August and I'm hopeful we can get as good a rate then, like we did last October. Thanks again and see you in August.

The first ride of 2009 was on January 2 at Gunstock Ranch on Oahu. We drove from Waikiki via H1 → R63 → R83 heading north, passed the Polynesian Cultural Center, and just a few minutes further on the left, we saw the sign for Gunstock Ranch. It takes a little over an hour from Waikiki. On the way, we stopped by Cloverleaf Ranch. Two summers ago, my family of four, including the kids, had our first trekking ride there, which made it a memorable ranch for us. After that, my husband and I started attending lessons at the riding club Crane, where we experience ups and downs in a small arena while practicing canter.
Oahu has a couple of beginner-friendly trekking options, but Gunstock Ranch offers an advanced trail ride, which we eagerly signed up for. Due to poor conditions from the rain the day before, we were suggested to switch to a safer scenic ride. However, after discussing our riding experience with our young and cute guide Stephanie, who had a wonderful smile, we were allowed to canter in a safe area. TAKA had just ridden 15 kilometers along the coastline at Frontier Riding Club in Hokkaido last fall. However, for MAMI, who was on her first outdoor ride, it started with a trot, but by the second and third times, she was able to do a more dynamic canter, which was a thrilling experience compared to the small arena.
The group that rode before us consisted of a mix of three and two people, and it seemed they were trekking at a beginner's pace. They likely make efforts to accommodate as many requests as possible for the riding tour based on group composition and negotiations. I am especially grateful to Stephanie, our guide this time!
2009年の初乗りは1月2日オアフ島のガンストック牧場でした。ワイキキからレンタカーでH1→R63→R83と経由北上し、ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターを過ぎさらに北上、5分も行かないところに左手にガンストック牧場の看板があります。ワイキキから1時間ちょっとってとこでしょうか。行きに途中クロレア牧場に立ち寄りました。2年前の夏、子供たちとともに家族4人で初トレッキング常歩乗馬し、乗馬にはまった記念すべき牧場です。その後、乗馬クラブのクレインに夫婦で通い狭い馬場で駈歩のレッスンに一喜一憂しています。オアフの乗馬ツアーは初心者向けのポコポコトレッキングは2~3ありますが、ガンストック牧場はアドバンスド・トレイル・ライドがあり勇んで申し込みました。前日の雨による悪コンディションのため、安全なシーニック・ライドへの変更を提案されましたが、とっても若くてキュートで笑顔の素敵な女性ガイドのステファニーに乗馬経験を話し、セーフティーな場所でキャンター(駈歩)OKってことになりました。TAKAは昨秋北海道のフロンティア乗馬クラブで海岸線を15キロ走ってきたところです。しかし初外乗のMAMIは最初トロット(速歩)でしたが、2回目3回目とどんどんダイナミックなキャンターが出て狭い馬場との違いに感動充実の時間となりました。私たちの前の時間に乗馬したグループは3+2人の2組の混合でしたが、ビギナーのペースでのトレッキングだったようです。グループ編成と交渉次第で可能な限りの希望通りの乗馬ツアーの実現に努力してくれるのでしょう。とくに今回ガイドをしてくれたステファニーには大感謝ですっ♪

I was opposed by my family and looked at strangely by my colleagues, wondering, "Am I weird?" but I followed my heart that said, "I want to fly!" and went for it. In the end, I am filled with the feeling that it was great to fly. For me, the joy and satisfaction come even stronger after returning home than right after the jump. During free fall, the strong wind and noise make it hard to enjoy the scenery, but once the parachute opens, I was able to leisurely enjoy the beautiful sea and mountains of Hawaii. Watching others descend while waiting below is also impressive. It was quite cold between the plane and free fall, especially in winter! (Someone who participated with me said, "You seem calm. I didn't feel anything because I was so nervous.") If you're sensitive to the cold, I recommend wearing a long-sleeved, slightly thicker shirt. Also, the impact upon landing is stronger than expected, so those with knee issues should be careful. Some people enjoyed landing on their bottoms, but their pants ended up quite wet and dirty. I participated on the last day of my stay in Hawaii, during a winter when the weather can change quickly, but fortunately, the rain that fell in the morning stopped, and it turned into a beautiful day (actually, that afternoon, there was a storm-like rain, and everything was canceled). I didn't feel scared, and thanks to that, it became an invaluable memory as I approach my 40s. I sincerely thank the divers and staff who provided a safe and enjoyable skydiving experience! Thank you!
家族からは反対され、会社の同僚からは奇異な目で見られ、『わたしってヘン?』と思いながら、それでも『飛んでみたい!』という自分の心に従って飛んでみました。結果、飛んでよかった、という気持ちで一杯です。私の場合、飛んだ直後よりこうして自宅に帰ってからのほうが、喜び、満足感がより強くこみ上げてくる感じです。フリーフォールはすごい風と音でクルクルまわりながらあまり景色を楽しむ余裕はありませんが、パラシュートが開いてからゆったりとハワイの美しい海と山々を楽しむことができました。下で待っている間も、他の人たちが次々と降りてくるのを見るのも圧巻ですよ。冬とあってさすがに飛行機の中とフリーフォールの間は寒い!です(一緒に参加した人からは、『冷静ですね~。私は(緊張して)ぜんぜん感じませんでした』と言われましたが)。寒さに弱い方は、長袖の少し厚めのシャツを着ることをお勧めします。また、着地の際は思ったより衝撃が強いのでひざなどに故障がある方は要注意。お尻からの着地を楽しんでいる方もいましたが、結構ズボンがぬれたりよごれていたりしていました。ハワイ滞在最終日に、それも天気の変わりやすい冬に参加しましたが、朝降っていた雨もやんで好天となり幸運でした(実際、その日の午後は嵐のような雨となりすべてキャンセルとなったそうです)。私は怖さも感じず、おかげで40歳台最後のかけがえのない思い出になりました。安全で楽しいスカイダイビングを体験させていただいたダイバー、スタッフの方々に心から感謝します!ありがとうございました!

On Christmas Day, the only place where horseback riding was available was Gunstock Ranch. Although the prices were elevated for the holiday, considering the Christian culture, it was quite appreciated.
There was no shuttle service from the hotel, so we rented a car with a navigation system and challenged ourselves to drive on the right side for the first time. The navigation guided us to our destination without any issues when we entered the address, and by being mindful of the central lane always being on the left, we found that driving wasn't too different from Japan. (I felt it was convenient to have the postal code handy since the navigation I used didn't have a search function by phone number, etc.)
Now, regarding the horseback riding, besides our family of four, there were also four family members from California and two couples participating.
The owner of Gunstock Ranch led the way, with his wife at the midpoint and his daughter (around elementary school age) bringing up the rear as we set off.
It was the first time for my husband, daughter, and son to ride horses, but there were no issues at all. The very smart horses followed commands for right, left, and gallop, taking us along nicely.
While it's common to see guides leading horses in enclosed areas, riding through the great outdoors while enjoying the scenery was truly delightful.
All instructions were in English, but they were easy to understand. We had a lot of fun participating.
I highly recommend it!
クリスマスの25日に唯一、乗馬が可能だったのがガンストック牧場でした。クリスマス料金になっていたのでコストパフォーマンスが良いとはいえませんでしたが、クリスチャンのお国柄を考えれば、ありがたいことしきりです。
ホテルとの送迎はありませんので、ナビ付きレンタカーを借り、初めての右側車線にもチャレンジ。
ナビは、住所の入力で目的地まで問題なく案内してくれましたし、常に左側に中央車線があることを意識して運転をすると、以外と日本と変わらずに運転ができます。
(ナビの利用には、郵便番号を控えておくと便利だと感じました。私が利用したナビは、電話番号などでの検索機能がなかったので・・・)
さて、肝心の乗馬ですが、私たち4人家族以外にも、4名のカリフォルニアから来た家族と、2名のカップルが参加していました。
ガンストック牧場のご主人が先導し、中間地点に奥さん、そして一番後ろには、娘さん(小学校中学年ぐらい)が付いて出発です。
主人、娘、息子は馬に乗るのは初めてでしたが、何の問題もなく、とても賢い馬は、右・左・ギャロップなどの指示に従ってちゃんと私たちを乗せてくれました。
柵の中で、管理者が引き馬をしてくれるケースはよく見ますが、大自然の中、景色を楽しみながらのお散歩乗馬、とても気持ちが良かったです。
説明は全て英語ですが、十分に聞き取りは可能です。
楽しく参加することができました。
お勧めですよ♪

I tried skydiving for the first time! I’m not great with heights, but it was more fun than I expected, and the rainbow I saw from 4,000 meters up was absolutely beautiful.
The weather was unstable, so we had some delays in jumping that day, but ultimately, I was able to enjoy the amazing views in clear skies. Depending on the instructor, some can be quite enthusiastic, and after opening the parachute, they might spin around a bit too much, which can make you feel a little queasy. Fortunately, my instructor was just right, and I felt perfectly fine.
I wanted photos and videos, but they were too expensive, so I gave up on that. On the way back, since we had some time left, we also did a little sightseeing. I can’t forget the taste of the shrimp I had during that time! Thank you, driver Komiya!
