I found this tour while looking for a morning tour of Diamond Head. It was great that we could visit various places not only in the morning but also further east and north.

Accessing Diamond Head early in the morning is difficult for individuals, so the transportation service was very helpful. They also provided handheld lights, which made the climb much more reassuring. I was deeply moved to see the sunrise.

During the trip, we stopped at various dining spots, and I was able to discover many delicious places that would have been hard to find on my own.

I was very satisfied to see various beaches and coastlines. I was also thrilled to unexpectedly see a sea turtle.

In addition to nature, we had a reasonable amount of free time for shopping, which I enjoyed.

Along the way, we received interesting information about the scenery from the car windows, making the sightseeing experience much more enjoyable than if we had explored on our own.

朝のダイヤモンドヘッドのツアーを探していたところこのツアーを見つけました。
朝だけでなくそのまま東や北の方まで色々な場所を回れてとても良かったです。

ダイヤモンドヘッドは朝早くからアクセスするのが個人では難しかったので、送迎もあって助かりました。手持ちライトの貸し出しもしてくださり安心して登頂できました。
日の出が見られてとても感動しました。

移動途中にも色々なご飯スポットに立ち寄ってくださり、個人ではたどり着くのが難しい美味しいお店にもたくさん巡り会えました。

またさまざまなビーチや海岸線を見ることができて大満足です。
たまたまウミガメも見ることができて嬉しかったです。

自然だけでなく、ショッピングの自由時間も程よく取ってくださり買い物も楽しめました。

道中も車窓からの景色の豆知識も教えてもらえるので、自分たちだけで観光するよりも楽しく観光することができました。

On-site, after filling out a waiver and choosing a helmet and saddlebag, we watched a three-minute Japanese video. Once everyone was ready, we mounted the horses and started. The horses walk slowly, but when climbing hills, they move their legs quite a bit, causing a bit of a jolt. However, as long as you hold the reins firmly, there’s no problem. As we progressed through the forest, we came to a spot where we could see the beautiful blue ocean. The breeze felt nice! After that, we traversed hills nestled between mountains, and I truly felt that the mountains in Hawaii are beautiful. We returned to the starting point in almost exactly two hours, and after getting off the horse, my thighs trembled for a while. The weather was perfect, making it a wonderful experience for my husband and me.

現地では、免責同意書に記入、ヘルメットとサドルバッグ選択の後、３分ほどの日本語VTRを見ました。そして馬にまたがり、全員の準備が出来るとスタートです。馬はゆっくり歩きますが、坂を登る時などは足が大きく動くので、少し大きく揺さぶられます。でもしっかり手綱を持っていれば問題ありません。森を進むと青くて美しい海が見える所に出ます。風が気持ちいい！その後は山に挟まれた丘陵ですが、ハワイは山が本当に綺麗だと感じました。ほぼ２時間きっかりでスタート地点に戻り、馬から降りた後はしばらく太腿がプルプル震えました。天気が最高だったこともあり、私たち夫婦にとって素晴らしい体験でした。

Upon arrival, a staff member who spoke Japanese provided an explanation of the facilities at Kualoa Ranch. After the facility tour, we moved to each experience location. The horseback riding experience was conducted entirely in English, but before it started, we watched a Japanese instructional video (about 5 minutes long).

We were able to ride for a solid two hours. The weather was great, and I was moved to ride through the magnificent nature of the sea and mountains! It was my first time horseback riding, but the horses are smart and follow instructions well if you follow the video. Even if things don't go well, the guides are there to support you.

The guides for the horseback riding provided all explanations in English. The guide who accompanied us used some Japanese terms like "hidari" (left) and "migi" (right) to communicate.

As others have mentioned, my rear started to hurt after a while.

The tour fee does not include tips. I gave a $20 tip after getting off the horse.

到着すると日本語の話せるスタッフの方がクアロアランチの施設内の説明をしてくれました。
施設内の説明後に、それぞれの体験場所に移動します。
乗馬体験は全て英語で行われましたが、始まる前に日本語の乗馬説明動画(5分くらい)を見ます。

2時間みっちり乗馬をできました。
天気も良く海と山と壮大な自然の中を乗馬できて感動しました！！！
初めて乗馬をしましたが、馬もかしこいので説明動画の通りにするときちんと指示に従います。
もしうまくいかなくてもガイドの方がサポートしてくれます。

乗馬についてくれるガイドさんは全て英語で説明を行ってくれます。
今回着いてくれたガイドさんはヒダリ、ミギなど日本語を交えて伝えてくれました。

他の方が書いていた通り、途中からお尻が痛くなります。

ツアー代金にチップは含まれていません。
チップは馬を降りた後20ドル渡しました。

I signed up for a 2-hour horseback riding course. Since I am not Japanese, the explanations were primarily in English, but they provided important parts in simple Japanese. Contrary to what I thought, the actual riding time was not short; after a brief video explanation, we set off immediately and were able to ride for almost the full 2 hours, enjoying the stunning views of both the sea and the mountains.

There was an explanation on how to use the reins, but the horse was well-trained and did not act up or stray from the course. Only a waist pouch type for carrying belongings is allowed (there are rentals available), so I recommend participants who are just experiencing horseback riding to come almost empty-handed. (Bags cannot be brought along and need to be placed in a $5 locker.)

Items like GoPro cameras cannot be hung around the neck. However, if you can attach them to your helmet or wear them on your arm, it might be possible to record videos. Photography was allowed at any time during the ride, as long as you did not stare at the screen.

2時間の乗馬コースを申し込みました．
日本人ではありませんので基本的には英語での説明でしたが，重要な部分は簡単な日本語で説明してくれました．
実際に乗っている時間は短いのかとおもいきや，簡単なビデオでの説明後すぐに出発，ほぼ2時間乗りっぱなしで海・山ともに最高の景色をみることができました．
手綱の使い方の説明がありますが馬のほうが慣れており，暴れたりコースを外れることはありませんでした．
荷物の持ち込みが腰に巻くタイプのポシェットのみ可（貸し出しもあります）ので乗馬のみ体験の方はほぼ手ぶらでの参加をおすすめします．（バックなどは持ち込めず5ドルのロッカーにいれる必要あり）
goproなども首に下げるかたちでは不可です．ヘルメットに装着したり腕につけられたら動画も可能かと思います．
写真撮影は画面を凝視しないという条件で乗馬中いつでも可能でした．

Early wake up call but it is so worth it as the early morning views from the top of the hike felt warm and cozy.

Expensive but for the length of the lines and the length of the tour, it is well worth every penny!

Family had so much fun, the guides bring so much laughter as well as knowledge of the valley!

we got luck that the tour went out, and lucky we felt! great catch and a memorable christmas morning thanks to the crew

Easy in easy out, just be aware of rocks if you have weak ankles. The fall was flowing on the day we had planned so all was well!

I was anxious since I had no experience with horseback riding, but I enjoyed it very much. After watching a simple video explanation, I got on the horse right away, and the horse was so smart that I didn't really have to give any commands. The guide was very attentive to everyone and led us well. She was a very cute guide. I don't think you can often experience horseback riding in such magnificent scenery. It was a wonderful experience! ☆

乗馬未経験で不安でしたが、とっても楽しめました。簡単なビデオ説明を見ていきなり乗るのですが、お馬ちゃんが賢くて特にこちらが支持する事もなかったです。ガイドさんがみんなを気にかけながら先導してくれます。とっても可愛いガイドさんでした。壮大な景色の中の乗馬はなかなか経験できないと思います。とてもいい経験になりました☆

This was my second time participating in the tour! My child was thrilled and had a great time! Since we had a buggy, it was safe! There were some changes to the course compared to last year, but it was so much fun!! I am very satisfied!

2度目のツアー参加でした！
子供も楽しいと大喜びでした！バギーなので、安全でした！去年と比べて少しコースが変わっている場所もありましたが、とても楽しかった！！大満足です！

Being able to pilot a Cessna is a valuable experience. I took off and made turns from the captain's seat. The pilot was a Japanese man, which made me feel at ease since he spoke Japanese. I found myself wanting a pilot's license. I want to do it again.

セスナを操縦できることは貴重な体験。キャプテン席で離陸や旋回をやりました。パイロットは日本人の男性で日本語で安心しました。操縦免許が欲しくなりました。またやりたいです。

Since almost everything is in English on-site, I couldn't understand the tour conductor's speech, but there was a Japanese video for the initial explanation, so it was fine. It's an experience that you can't have in Japan, so I definitely recommend it! We were a family of four (with preschool children), and we had a great time! The locals were very unique and kind, making it easy to enjoy ourselves!

現地ではほぼ英語なのでツアーコンダクターの話しは分かりませんが最初の説明は日本語のビデオがあるので大丈夫でした。
日本では出来ないような体験なので是非おすすめです！家族4人（子供は未就学児）でしたがとても楽しめました！現地の人はとてもユニーク親切で安心して楽しめます！

The activity itself was very enjoyable, but there was a waiting time of three hours on-site, which made it difficult to pass the time. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't participate in another activity during this time, as it would have made for a more efficient experience.

アクティビティ自体は、とても楽しく満喫できましたが、現地での待ち時間が３時間もあり、時間をつぶすのに苦労しました。この間に別のアクティビティーに参加できれば、効率的に過ごせたのにちょっと残念した。

Doors off makes it feel like your flying! Was a great tour and worth the higher pricing.

So many lines + hiking through the valley was the most we felt into the Hawaiian vibe :)

Whoever added the Leonards stop- genius! Perfect day of activity + indulging.

We were huge fans of the show, so this was a dream to ride the exact model chopper!

They do not guide you up to hike, but it was pretty self explanatory!

Even as a beginner at fishing, the crew helped me, and I had a great time. I caught three fish. The bait was squid, which I put on myself. It was fun.

釣りが初心者でも、クルーが助けてくれて、楽しめた。3匹も釣れた。エサはイカで自分でつける。楽しかった。

As a first step towards my middle school son's dream of becoming a pilot, we had a flight experience, and I'm really glad we did. Since he still finds it difficult to understand English, we hoped for someone who could speak Japanese, and we were fortunate to have a wonderful person with a lovely smile, which made us feel at ease during the flight. The owner was very dedicated and shared amazing stories that felt like a lecture, leaving us deeply moved until the very end. I was also very happy to hear the kind words encouraging us to reach out anytime to help make my son's dream a reality.

Honestly, it wasn't cheap, so I hesitated, but the experience was truly worth it, and the breathtaking views have become a wonderful memory, so I highly recommend it!

将来パイロットになりたいとの中学生の息子の夢への第一歩として操縦体験をしましたが、本当に体験できてよかったです。まだ英語の理解が難しいので日本語の話せる方を希望しましたが、笑顔の素敵な方で安心してフライトを楽しむことができました。オーナーさんはとても努力家の方で講演会レベルの素敵なお話を聞かせて頂き最後まで感動しっぱなしでした。息子の夢が更に現実に向かえる様いつでも連絡してください。ととてありがたいお言葉も大変嬉しかったです。
正直お安くはないので悩みましたが本当にそれ以上の感動があり、あの絶景が素敵な思い出になりましたのでお勧めです‼︎

The Makapu'u Lookout, included in other tours, is a viewpoint located at the base of this cape. While it offers beautiful scenery worth visiting on its own, the view towards the ocean is limited due to the small hill in the direction of the cape. The trail on this tour goes around that hill, and especially in the latter half, you walk along the cliffs towering over the vast ocean (the path is well-maintained, so it's not dangerous) and ascend to the highest point overlooking the lighthouse. The grandeur of the scenery along the way is incomparable to the lookout. You should definitely experience it.

This tour itself does not include any other sightseeing, just a round-trip shuttle to the trailhead, but I think it is the most convenient means of transportation from Waikiki to this trail.

他のツアーにも含まれているマカプウルックアウトは、この岬の付け根にある展望スポットで、もちろんそこだけでも行く価値のある美景ですが、岬方向が小高い山になっているため、海原方向の眺望は臨めません。このツアーで行くトレイルはその小山を回り込んで、特に後半は大海原にそびえる絶壁の上を歩いて（歩道はよく整備されているので危なくはないです）、灯台を見下ろす最高地点まで上ります。その道中の景色の壮大さは、ルックアウトとは比較になりません。ぜひ体感してください。
なおこのツアー自体はトレイルの入口までの往復シャトルで他に特に観光を含みませんが、ワイキキからこのトレイルまでの交通手段としては最も便利だと思います。

I experienced it for the first time in the summer, and I couldn't forget the excitement from that time, so I made another reservation. I'm not good with heights, but once I went above the clouds, the beautiful scenery and thrill made me forget about my fear of heights. I wanted to experience it at least once in my life, and after trying it last time, it was such a wonderful experience that I want to do it again.

夏に初めて体験したのですが、その時の感動が忘れられずまた予約しました。高所が苦手ですが、雲より上にいってしまうと綺麗な景色と興奮で高さの怖さはあまりなかったです。人生で一度は体験したいと思って前回やってみましたが、またやりたくなるほど素晴らしい経験でした。

At Kualoa, there are Japanese staff members, so you can receive explanations in a polite manner, which is reassuring. There is also a Japanese video for the horseback riding instructions, so even if you don't understand English, you can manage. This time, I only did the two-hour horseback riding, but due to the shuttle schedule, there was a lot of waiting time, so I think it would have been better to book other activities as well. The scenery was very beautiful, but I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't a photo opportunity at the movie filming spots, as I had heard there would be.

クアロアには日本人のスタッフがいるので丁寧に説明を受けれて安心です。乗馬の説明も日本語のビデオがあるので英語がわからなくてもなんとかなります。今回は２時間の乗馬のみにしまが送迎の時間の関係で待ち時間が多いので、他のアクティビティも一緒に予約したほうが良かったと思いました。
景色がとても良かったのですが、映画の撮影スポットでの写真撮影があるときいていたのがなかったので少し残念でした。

As others have mentioned, in Japan, many places require a license, and it's almost impossible for beginners to ride for two hours. The price, including transportation, is very reasonable. I was able to fully enjoy the vast grounds, including locations used for movie shoots!

他の方がおっしゃっているようにまず日本だとライセンスが必要なところが多く、２時間も初心者で乗馬できることはほぼないです。価格も送迎付きでこのお値段はとてもお得かと。映画のロケ地など広大な敷地を存分に堪能できました！

Walking on the vast green areas like in the photo is rare, and you mostly proceed along mountain paths. I only saw one good movie filming location (which wasn't particularly striking), so if you're expecting movie-related attractions, a bus tour of the filming locations might be a good option.

写真にあるような広大な緑の上を歩くことは少なく、ほとんど山道のような所を進みます。映画のロケ地もいい一つしか見なかった(特にピンとくるものでもなかった)ので、映画関連のものを期待するなら、バスでのロケ地ツアーがいいかと思います。

This is my second time participating!
Even the second time, the buggy ride is fun!
The staff members who guide us may not understand English, but they are very enjoyable people!
I wish we could stop by more movie filming locations, but since I'm driving myself, it might be difficult time-wise!

2回目の参加です！
2回目でもバギーは楽しいです！
案内のスタッフさんも英語わからないけど、楽しい方々です！
映画の撮影場所にもっと立ち寄れたらいいなと思うけど、自分で運転するから時間的に難しいのかな！

The horseback riding experience since our honeymoon was amazing. It would have been even better if there had been a break along the way. Riding for about two hours straight made my legs tired. Since we only walked slowly the whole time, it was quite safe and considerate.

新婚旅行以来の乗馬体験、最高でした。途中で休憩があればなお良かったかな。およそ2時間、乗りっぱなしで足が疲れました。
ずっとゆっくり歩いただけなので、かなり安全に配慮されたものでした。

My experience during my previous visit was so wonderful that this was my second time. It's difficult to communicate unless you have at least a basic understanding of English, but there are Japanese staff members on-site.

At the beginning, you have to sign various waivers on a machine, but you can easily manage with Google Translate. I went alone both times without knowing much English, and I managed just fine.

One thing that caught my attention was that there are different height plans. I happened to become friends with a Japanese person on the same flight, and it seemed they had a different height plan, but we took off from the same place at the same time. I don't really understand feet, so I'm not sure how that works in practice.

Still, the experience itself is something I think everyone should try at least once in their life. The support from the person flying with you was perfect. I will definitely use this service again.

以前来た時の体験が素晴らし過ぎて今回2回目の体験でした。
基本英語がなんとなくわかる人でないとコミュニケーションが難しいですが、一応現地に日本語スタッフの方はいます。
最初に機械で色々と誓約書にサインなどがありますが、google翻訳で余裕でいけます。
僕は英語はほとんどわからないまま、2回とも１人で行きました。なんとかなります。

1点気になったのは、高さのプランがありますがたまたま同じ便だった日本人の方と仲良くなり、その方は他の高さのプランだったようですが、同時に同じところから飛びました。
そもそもフィートの感覚がわからないので実際どうなのか？

それでも体験自体は人生で1度は体験して欲しいぐらい最高です。
一緒に飛んでくれる方のサポートも完璧でした。
必ずまた利用させてもらいます。

I have a boating license, so next I pursued an airplane license, which I had been interested in for a while and finally experienced. On the day of the flight, there was a strong south wind, and we took off heading north, flying down the East Coast and returning west over Waikiki Beach. The various views from above and being able to look down at Diamond Head from the Cessna were breathtaking, and I was lucky enough to see a rainbow below!

船舶ライセンスはあるので，次は飛行機ライセンスと以前から興味があり体験しました。
当日、南風が強く北回りで離陸して東海岸を南下してワイキキビーチ上空を西に帰還するルートでした。上空からの様々な景色やダイヤモンドヘッドをセスナで見下ろせるのは、圧巻なのと運良く眼下に虹🌈もみれてラッキーでした。
