All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I participated in a movie location tour while horseback riding! The tour lasted about two hours round trip. It was both of our first times riding, but the staff (mostly English-speaking) were very helpful in teaching us, so I think even beginners will be fine. Riding through the great outdoors and slowly visiting the filming locations was a luxurious experience, and I was very satisfied. One thing to note is that the tour goes on even in the rain (you can borrow a raincoat for horseback riding for free), so it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes, or if you don't want to deal with the rain, consider joining another tour (using a bus).

乗馬しながらの映画撮影地巡りに参加しました！時間は往復2時間のツアーでした。夫婦とも乗馬は初めてでしたが、スタッフ(基本英語対応)の方達が丁寧に教えてくれて、すぐにお馬に乗れたので、未経験の方でも大丈夫だと思います。大自然を馬に乗ってゆっくり撮影地をめぐるのは贅沢な時間ですし、大満足でした。注意点としては、雨でも行くので(乗馬用のカッパは無料で借りれます)、着替え持ってくか、雨いやなら他のツアー(バス利用)に参加するのもいいかもです。

I did a lot of research before experiencing this, and it was just so much fun! It said sandals were not allowed, so I went out of my way to get sneakers on-site, but there were some people in sandals. It was recommended to have a mask or bandana, and I received a bandana with the name of Kualoa Ranch on it! Everyone was provided with helmets and goggles to wear. Since it really is a two-hour ride, make sure to use the restroom beforehand. It mentioned that children from 5 years old can ride, but I think you can have them sit in the middle of the second row with a secure seatbelt and hold them during the ride. However, since you can't go to the restroom and can't turn back, it's better to think carefully about it. At one point, it started to rain, which made it even more enjoyable, splashing through puddles and speeding down steep hills. An elderly couple couldn't keep up, and the staff had to switch drivers.

体験するにあたり色々と調べて行きましたが、とにかく楽しかった！サンダル不可とあり、わざわざスニーカーを現地で調達しましたがサンダルの方もいました。マスクやバンダナがあると良いとありましたが、クアロアランチの名前入りのバンダナをいただきました！全員ヘルメットとゴーグルを貸していただき装着。本当に2時間走るので先にトイレを済ませておく事。確か5歳〜乗車可能とありましたが、2列目の席の真ん中に座らせてしっかりとシートベルトをし、走行中は押さえててあげれば乗れると思いますがトイレに行けないのと引き返せないので慎重に考えた方が良いですね。途中、雨が降って来てより楽しさが増して、水溜まりに突っ込んだり急な下り坂を飛ばしてみたり。年配ののご夫婦が付いて来れずスタッフの方が運転を交代していました。

As a memory of our honeymoon, I had the experience with my wife!

The drive from Waikiki was incredibly refreshing, surrounded by nature that you can't see in Japan! It might be better to speak some English! This time, I was helped by a Japanese person who could understand the surroundings!

Skydiving was the most exhilarating part, as going up in the Cessna felt amazing! After jumping out, I have no memory of what happened! It was that scary! I definitely think that those who are not good with thrill rides should avoid it!

ハネムーンの思い出として
妻と体験させてもらいました！

ワイキキからドライブは
日本では見ることのない大自然でとても爽快的！
英語は話せたほうがいいかもです！
今回は周りに理解できる日本人の方がいたので助かりました！

スカイダイビングは
セスナで上空まで行くのが最高に気持ちいいです！
飛び降りてからは記憶がありません！
そのくらい怖いです！
絶叫マシンが苦手な方は絶対にやらないほうがいいと思います！

We participated with four adults. We boarded the safari bus and set off. The wild drive lasted just over an hour and was exhilarating!
Along the way, we got off at breathtaking viewpoints, passed through some nerve-wracking cliff edges, and even did a bit of mountain climbing. It might be wise to be cautious if you're wearing sandals.
Also, once you set off, there are no restrooms in the mountains!

大人4人で参加。サファリバスに乗って出発しました。1時間強のワイルドドライブ、気分爽快でした！
途中絶景ポイントで下車したり、ヒヤヒヤ崖っぷちを通ったり、ちょっとした山登りもあります。サンダル履きは気をつけたほうがいいかもです。
あと、出発したら山中にはトイレがありません！

I experienced this in somewhat bad weather. Unfortunately, the guide we had was not very smiley and didn't provide much explanation. The guide from the previous group was taking photos and airdropping them to everyone, which was a nice service that we didn't have. We also had to ask about the return bus, as we weren't called even when it was time, and only then were we finally allowed to board. I'm glad my 10-year-old son said he had fun.

やや悪天候の中体験しました。当たったガイドさんが笑顔少なく説明もあまりなく残念でした。その前のグループガイドさんは写真をとってみなさんの写真をairdroppしてました。同じようなサービスがなく残念でした。帰りのバスも時間になっても呼ばれずこちらから尋ねてやっと乗せてもらえました。
10歳の息子が楽しかったといってくれてよかったです。

Since we were the only ones on the day of the tour, it felt like a private tour. The guide was very kind and made it a lot of fun, so we really enjoyed ourselves! ☺︎ I was worried because I hardly speak any English, but the guide made an effort to communicate using translation tools, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience!

Anyway, my face ended up completely black (laughs). It gets so dark that I can't even go out in public. A towel and wet wipes are essential.

I will definitely participate again! ☺︎ Thank you very much.

当日は私達しかいなかったので貸切ツアーでしたがガイドさんもとっても親切で楽しませてくれたのでとっても楽しめました☺︎
英語がほとんどできないので心配でしたが、翻訳を使いながら一生懸命に伝えてくださるので安心して楽しめます‼︎

とにかく顔が真っ黒になります（笑）人前には出れないくらい真っ黒になります。タオル、濡れティッシュ必須です。

また絶対に参加します☺︎ありがとうございました。

The buggy ride was a lot of fun. There was little dust due to the rain, but if it had been sunny, I would have been covered in dust. I think it's a good idea to dress lightly and plan to change clothes.

バギーはとても楽しかった。
雨天後のため埃は少なかったけど、晴れてたら全身埃だらけ。軽装し着替えつもりがよいと思います。

It was more fun than I expected because we could go fast. However, since everyone runs at the same time, it might be frustrating if the person in front is slow (the person in front of me was my wife, haha). So depending on the group combination, it could become boring.

Since it was in the North, we went by rental car, and we arrived earlier than expected. When I asked to change the start time, they kindly accommodated my request, probably because they had availability.

思った以上にはスピードが出せて楽しかったです。ただ基本全員同時に走るので前の人遅いとイライラするかも（私の前の人は妻でした（笑））。なのでグループの組み合わせ次第ではつまらなくなるかも？
ノースなのでレンタカーで行きましたが、思ったより早く着いたので現地で開始時間の変更をお願いしたら、空いていたからだと思いますが快く変更してくれました。

I had wanted to try ziplining for a long time, and since I was going to do it, I thought it would be best to choose a place with a great view, so I signed up here. I'm really glad I did. The scenery was beautiful, and I was very satisfied after doing seven lines. Just before starting, they asked questions like, "What's your favorite food?" which I think was probably to distract those who might be scared. I felt a bit nervous on the first line, but after that, I got used to it and wasn't scared at all. I was able to film videos with my smartphone securely strapped to my arm. Thank you to all the staff; I had a great time!

ずっと前からジップラインをやってみたくて、どうせやるなら景色が良いところでと思いこちらを申し込みました。本当にやってよかった。景色は良いし、7本もやって大満足です。スタートする直前に「好きな食べ物は何？」など質問してくれるのですがたぶん怖い人向けにそんな質問をしてくれて怖さを紛らわせてくれてるんだと思いました。でも1本目だけドキドキしたけどあとは全然慣れて怖くなかったです。スマホはストラップを腕にきっちりつけて動画撮影ができました。スタッフに皆さんありがとうございました、楽しかったです！

I participated in a 2-hour horseback riding tour this time, and it was absolutely amazing! If you go to Hawaii, you definitely have to do it! Horseback riding is the best!!

今回2時間の乗馬体験のツアーに参加しましたがとにかく最高でした！ハワイへ行ったら絶対やるべき！乗馬最高！！

A 2-hour drive. The road is intentionally bumpy, making for a very adventurous experience. There are breaks at three photo spots, and at each stop, the guiding staff shares stories about the surrounding mountains and islands. I was advised not to touch the gear, and even as a paper driver, I found it easy to drive. By the end, I was covered in sand from head to toe, including my hair and mouth. It was a lot of fun.

2時間のドライブ。わざと道を凸凹にしてあり、すごく揺れてアドベンチャー気分を味わえた。3箇所の撮影スポットで休憩があり、その都度、先導スタッフが周辺の山や島にまつわる話しをしてくれます。ギアは触らないよう注意され、ペーパードライバーの私でも簡単に運転できます。終わったら、全身、髪も口の中も砂まみれ。楽しかったです。

They will pick you up at the hotel, so as long as you can wake up early, you can feel at ease. At Kualoa Ranch, in addition to the expedition tour, you can enjoy various activities such as horseback riding and tours of movie filming locations. The expedition tour offers wonderful views from the car window, but if you walk a little, you will find breathtaking scenery. The lunch was also delicious, and it was a very satisfying tour.

ホテルでピックアップしてくれるので、朝早くても起きられさえすれば安心。クアロラ・ランチではエクスペディションツアー以外にも、乗馬や、映画の撮影スポットを周るツアーなど、様々なアクティビティーが楽しめます。エクスペディションツアーは車窓からの景色も素晴らしいですが、少し歩くと、そこには絶景が。ランチもおいしく、大満足のツアーでした。

It was a fun experience to see a rainbow early in the morning. You can also visit the movie filming location in the back that can only be accessed by buggy.

朝イチで、虹も見れて楽しい体験でした。
　バギーでしか行けない奥の映画ロケ地のスポットにもいけます

Our guides, Maddi and Chachi made an awesome day fun and informative. Not just a movie set adventure but driving the URaptor though native Hawaii country side and up mountain/Valley rangers was oh so fun

Exploring the Kualoa Valley with ATVs is a thrilling yet resonate experience, as it gives some independence to explore this beautiful valley. We were pleasantly surprised that our tour guides not only shared the movie filming history, but also emphasized the valley's importance to the ancient Hawaiian culture and the legends associated with the sacred Kualoa mountain range. Thank you so much for sharing and preserving such a beautiful place! Shout out to Sarah for an awesome experience!

We participated as a family of four, so it ended up being quite expensive, but everyone had a great time. All the explanations and conversations were in English, but that wasn't a problem. It would have been even more fun if there had been a bit more elevation and length. I dropped my phone along the way, but they were able to recover it safely!

家族４人で参加しましたのでかなり費用が掛かってしまいましたが、全員楽しめました。説明や会話は全て英語ですが問題ありませんでした。もう少し高低差、長さがあるともっと楽しいんだけどな〜。途中で携帯が外れて落としてしまいましたが無事回収してもらえました！

We had a great trip! Guides were super friendly and accommodating

The horseback riding experience itself was enjoyable, but we didn't have the opportunity to take photos during the ride, so it didn't feel memorable. It was a bit disappointing that the guide didn't actively offer to take photos for us.

乗馬体験そのものは楽しかったが、重場中の写真を自分たちでとる機会がなかったので記念にならない。ガイドさんも積極的に写真を撮るサービス等してくれないのでやや残念であった。

The zip line itself was interesting, but I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't as high as I expected; some domestic zip lines have a greater sense of fear. The game-like events along the way were fun. It was unfortunate that I was instructed to leave my belongings in a locker, so I couldn't take any photos.

ジップそのものは面白かったが、高さが思ったより高くなく少しがっかり、国内のジップの方が恐怖感が高いものがある。途中でのゲーム的な催しがあったのは楽しかった。ロッカーに荷物を預けるように指示されたので写真が取れないのは残念であった。

You will get completely covered in dust, but the exhilaration of navigating through breathtaking natural scenery and bumpy roads and puddles on a four-wheeler was the best! Even the kids who don't know about Jurassic movies (two elementary school students and one middle school student) were very happy. The guide took wonderful photos at each point!

The only downside is that since you share a large bus with other participants from different tours at Kualoa Ranch, the waiting time on-site can be a bit long for the full-day tour.

全身砂ぼこりまみれにはなりますが、大自然の絶景や、でこぼこ道&水たまりをものともせず四輪バギーで進んでいく爽快感が最高でした！
ジュラシック映画を知らない子供たち（小学生2人&中学生1人）でもとても喜んでました。
ガイドさんに各ポイントで素敵な写真を撮ってもらえました！

クアロアランチの他のツアーの参加者さんと大型バスに乗り合いで行くので終日のツアーとなる為、現地での待ち時間が少し長くなる事だけが難点です。

Driving the buggy was my first experience, and I was a bit nervous until I got the hang of it, but it wasn't difficult at all, and I quickly became accustomed to it and enjoyed the drive.

We stopped the car about three times, and the guide shared interesting facts like, "This is where that movie was filmed!" and "This terrain was formed in this way!"

We participated as a pair, and at that moment, we were able to switch drivers.

The two hours felt longer than I expected, and towards the end, I did get a little bored, but I was able to enjoy the stunning views of the mountains and the sea, making it a wonderful experience.

バギーの運転は初めてで、コツをつかむまでは少し緊張しましたが、難しいことはないのであっという間に慣れ、ドライブを楽しめました。

3回ほど車を停めて、あの映画の撮影に使われたのがここだよ！とか、ここの地形はこんな風にしてできたんだよ！とか、ガイドをしてくれます。
２人で参加しましたが、この降りたタイミングで運転手も交代できました。

２時間は思っていたよりも長く、最後の方は少し飽きもきましたが…山と海の絶景が楽しめて、素晴らしい体験ができました。

I enjoyed two activities each day. As mentioned in the guide, I contacted the team at Viator via email and was able to experience both activities without any issues. Each had its own unique appeal, and my family had a great time. Driving on the left side for the first time was manageable since there was only one lane, and the horses for the riding activity were well-trained and calm, making it safe for the kids to ride. There was a Japanese staff member at the Kualoa Ranch reception, so I generally felt at ease. The individual guides for each activity, as well as the staff at the shops and restaurants, spoke only English, which made for some memorable moments as I tried to communicate with my kids despite the language barrier. The hamburgers were delicious too.

The bus stop for the outbound trip might have had some room for negotiation depending on your accommodation. It was a bit of a distance for an early morning departure in an unfamiliar place. On the return trip, they provided drop-off service not only from Kualoa Ranch but also from other activities directly to individual hotels.

1日２つのアクティビティを楽しみました。
案内にもありましたが、ベルトラの方にメールで問い合わせて無事両方のアクティビティを体験することが出来ました。どちらも違う面白さがあり家族で楽しみました。初の左側運転も車線は一つだったので大丈夫でしたし、乗馬は馬がよく調教されていておとなしかったので子供でも安心して乗れました。クアロアランチの受付には日本人の方がいるので基本的に不安はありません。各アクティビティの個別のガイドさん、売店やレストランの方はもちろん英語だけなので、子供と一緒にわからないなりに話したのもいい思い出です。ハンバーガーもおいしかったです。
行きのバス乗り場は宿泊先によっては交渉の余地があったかもしれません。不慣れな場所での早朝の出発で、少し距離がありました。帰りはクアロアランチだけでなく他のアクティビティでも個別のホテルまで送ってくれました。

You can enjoy breathtaking views in Hawaii. This is truly a unique activity that only Hawaii offers.

You can experience a total of seven different activities, and there are various challenges along the way, so you won't get bored at all.

If you're too light, you might get stuck at times, but the staff will come to help you, so you can feel at ease.

The exhilaration is outstanding.

The staff are all very friendly and fun, which really boosts your mood and doubles the enjoyment.

This is the most recommended activity among all the experiences I had this time!

ハワイの絶景を楽しめます。
これこそハワイならではのアクティビティ。

全部で７本も体験できますが、
途中でいろいろとお題を出されるので、
まったく飽きません。

体重が軽すぎると途中で止まってしまうこともありましたが、
スタッフの方が助けに行ってくださるので安心です。

爽快感抜群です。

とてもフレンドリーで楽しいスタッフさんばかりで、
気分を盛り上げてくれるので、
楽しさも倍増です。

今回体験したアクティビティの中で一番おすすめです！

The horses are very cute, but...

They just walk in a straight line quietly for a long time (there are explanations from the staff and opportunities to talk with them, but you can't converse with your companions), so I got bored after about the first 30 minutes...

I wish we could walk side by side with our companions and chat instead of in a line.

Thinking about it, it might not be worth the price.

I wonder if it's something I really need to do in Hawaii...

Next time I experience this, I would prefer a private course.

馬はとってもかわいいのですが・・・

ずーっとひたすら一列で黙々と歩くので
（スタッフの方の説明があったり、スタッフの方と話すことはありますが、
同行者と話すことはできません）、
最初の３０分くらいで飽きてしまいました・・・。

一列ではなく、同行者と並んで、おしゃべりしながら歩けたらいいなと思います。

そう考えるとお値段に釣り合わないかもです。

わざわざハワイに行ってやらなくてもいいかなと・・・。

今度体験するなら、プライベートコースにしたいと思います。

It was quite crowded, and there wasn't enough space between our fishing spots and the neighboring ones. I had reserved to use two rods, but ended up using just one. We were the only Japanese people there.

I used a two-hook rig with a body. The bait was cuttlefish. I caught four fish: two Mumehagi (like a tropical version of the Umatsurahagi), one fish that looked like an old man, and one fish that resembled an Eso. I missed two big bites.

The fishing time felt like just under two hours. I think if you can find the bottom, you can catch fish. The current was fast, and everyone was struggling. The fish that looked like an old man probably could have been eaten, but the crew asked us to release it, so we couldn't eat it.

There were no life jackets. It was the first time I fished without one. It might be that there are no laws requiring them overseas. The tour reservation mentioned that water and juice were included, but there was no provision from the boat (perhaps there was an explanation, but as far as I could see, no one around me received anything), so I think it's best to bring your own drinks.

The scenery is very beautiful. Sunscreen is a must.

結構混んでいて、隣の釣座との間が充分になく、2本竿を出す予約をしていましたが、1本にしました。
日本人は私たちだけでした。
胴付きの2本針仕掛け。エサはイカの切り身。
4匹釣れました。
ムスメハギ2匹(ウマヅラハギの南国バージョンみたいな)
オジサンっぽい魚1匹
エソっぽい魚1匹
大きなあたり2回バラし

釣りの時間は、体感で2時間弱ぐらいですかね。
底を取れれば、釣れると思います。
潮流れが速く、皆さん苦戦してました。
オジサンっぽい魚は、おそらく食べられそうでしたが、船の方にリリースしてくださいと言われ、食べられず。
ライフジャケットは無し。釣りをするときライフジャケットしなかったのは初めて。海外ではしなくて良い法律なのかもしれません。
水、ジュースが含まれるとツアーの予約には書いてありましたが、船からの提供は無かったので(もしかしたら、説明はあったのかもしれませんが、私が見る限り、周りの人も誰も貰ってませんでした)、水分はしっかりと持参したほうが良いと思います。
景色はとてもきれいです。
日焼け止め必須です。

I was hoping to freely drive around the filming locations at Kualoa Ranch in a buggy! However, we had to follow the guide and could only stop at designated spots during the specified time. I was really looking forward to visiting the giant tree from Jurassic Park, so it was such a disappointment that we couldn't stop there. I think it's better to view the buggy ride as an attraction where you can drive through vast nature. I learned that it's best to join a dedicated tour for movie location visits. But the nature at Kualoa Ranch is truly wonderful!

バギーでクアロアランチの映画ロケ地を好きに走れるつもりだった！
ガイドを先頭に指定場所のみ指定時間内で撮影時間。。
　一番楽しみにしていた、ジュラシックパークの大木の所に立ち寄れなかったのが残念過ぎる。
　バギーは広大な自然を運転できるアトラクションだと思った方が良い
映画ロケ地巡りは、それ専用のツアーに参加しましょう。という教訓を得た
でも、クアロアランチの自然は素晴らしいですよ

We participated as a family of four (with a middle schooler and an elementary school student).

I was a bit anxious because there were few reviews and no Japanese guide, but it was more fun than I imagined, and the kids were very satisfied!

The tour lasted about two and a half hours and was divided into three main sections:
- A flat road where we could drive about 40 km
- A bumpy road through the jungle
- A course within a playground with steep ups and downs
Each section offered a different kind of enjoyment.

Good points:
- The drive through the vast scenery was cool and pleasant.
- The bumpy road was fun like a roller coaster.
- The guide was very kind.
- Even if you're not good at English, they speak slowly, so it's understandable.
- There are instructions in Japanese.
- The water and juice provided during the tour were cold and delicious.
- We received photos and videos from the tour via AirDrop.

Bad points:
- While driving, the guide explains Hawaii's history through a walkie-talkie, but if you're not good at English, it's hard to understand over the walkie-talkie...
- Tips can only be paid in cash, not by card.
- Transportation to the North Shore is necessary.

Before participating, I wondered if it was necessary to go to the mountains instead of the beach in Hawaii, but I think it was the right decision to join! It was really fun.

家族4人（中1、小4）で参加しました。
・口コミが少なかい
・日本語ガイドがいない
ということもあり、少し不安でしたが、
想像以上の楽しさで子供たちも大満足でした！

ツアー時間は2時間半くらいで、大きく
・40km程度で走れる平らな道
・ジャングルの中の凸凹道
・起伏の激しいプレイランド内のコース
の3つに分けられますが、どれも違った楽しさがありました。

・ガイドの方がとても親切
・英語苦手でもゆっくり話してくれるので理解できる
・日本語の説明書はある
・ツアー中にもらった水、ジュースが冷えてて美味しい

悪かったこと
・運転中もトランシーバーでハワイの歴史などを解説してくれるのですが、英語が苦手だとトランシーバーごしでは理解できない…
・チップがカードで払えず現金のみ
・ノースショアまでの移動が必要


参加するまでは、ハワイまで来て海じゃなくて山行く必要ある？とも思ってましたが、参加して正解だったと思いました！
本当に楽しかったです。

The two hours flew by, and it was really fun and memorable!

It's best to participate in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and wear sneakers!

There are lockers available for a fee where you can take things out multiple times, so I think it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes!

2時間あっという間ですごく楽しかったし思い出になりました！

汚れてもいい服、スニーカーで参加された方が良いです！

施設には有料ですが何度も取り出しが出来るロッカーもあるので着替えも持っていくといいと思います！

Family trip to Hawaii for three
We signed up for this tour after our daughter said, "I want to ride a horse."
After a brief five-minute video in Japanese explaining how to ride a horse, the tour started right away.
In addition to us, there was a couple, making a total of five people in the group.
With an experienced guide, we rode through the bush on horseback.
For us, who are not good at English, it was helpful that the guide mixed in Japanese with instructions like "left, right, please stop."
There were ups and downs along the way, and our horse worked hard to climb, making it a thrilling experience.
Especially when we enjoyed horseback riding amidst breathtaking scenery, it felt like we were in a scene from a Hollywood movie.
Participating in this tour created truly wonderful memories for us.
We are sincerely grateful.

家族３人のハワイ旅行
娘の「馬に乗ってみたい」という一言でこのツアーに申し込みました。
日本語による簡単なビデオで、5分ほどで馬の乗り方のレクチャーを受けた後、早速ツアーがスタート。
私たちのほかにカップル（２人）と計５人のグループ
経験豊富なガイドさんと共に、馬に乗ってブッシュの中を進んで行きました。
英語が苦手な私たちには、「左、右、止まってください」と日本語も交えてくださり助かりました。
道中にはアップダウンもあり、お馬さんが頑張って登ってくれて、スリル満点の体験となりました。
特に、息をのむような絶景の中で乗馬を楽しんだ時は、まるでハリウッド映画のワンシーンの中にいるかのような気分でした。
このツアーに参加できて、本当に素晴らしい思い出ができました。
心から感謝しております。

We had so much fun riding our UTVs. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and it was definitely our favorite activity from our trip to Hawaii. We had worn clothes that could get muddy (as we read in the description) but we had no mud, in fact it was a little dusty. This is all just dependent on weather. We would do this again if we go back to Oahu.
