All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I participated in a family-only tour guided in English by a driver for about three hours! Our family consists of four people, including two children, and we were able to ride the four-wheeler comfortably. We took commemorative photos at several recommended spots by the driver, and there were breaks for restroom use and cold water along the way. The driver was very kind, and although we didn't make any specific requests, the recommended points were all fantastic. While driving, we had a great time talking about filming locations used in movies and TV dramas. Above all, the breeze while driving was very pleasant, and since we were in the forest, we could smell various plants and the scent of the woods.

In the last hour, we had a tree planting experience with the Strong Tree. This involved planting seedlings prepared for my younger child's (third grader) independent study project, but it was still a very good experience. The driver explained everything in English while we were planting. We were able to plant a very precious tree for Oahu, and it felt great to contribute to the island as a family.

However, sitting for a long time and the presence of unpaved roads might be tough for those who are prone to motion sickness. The price is also quite significant. Nevertheless, since our children are at the right age and my husband and I still have the stamina, we are very satisfied with the experience.

約3時間のドライバーさんが英語で案内してくれる家族だけのツアーに参加しました！
我が家は子供二人の四人家族で四輪バギーもゆったりと乗ることができました。何か所かドライバーさんのおすすめポイントで記念撮影をし、途中でおトイレ休憩や冷たいお水の提供もありました。とても優しいドライバーさんで、こちらのリクエストはしなかったものの、おすすめポイントはどこでも最高でした。運転しながらも、映画やテレビドラマで使用した撮影場所などのトークでとても盛り上がりました。何よりも、運転中の風がとても気持ちよく、森の中なので色々な植物や森の匂いを嗅ぐことができました。
ラスト1時間で、ストロング・ツリーの植樹体験をしました。これは、下の子（小学3年生）の自由研究の為に（笑）用意された苗を植えるだけでしたが、それでもとても良い体験になりました。植える時も、英語で説明してくれました。オアフ島にとってはとても貴重な木を植えることができ、家族で少しでもオアフ島に貢献できたことがとても良い体験になりました。
ただ、やはり、座っていますし、舗装されてない道もあったりで車酔いがある方は辛い面もあるかと思います。お値段もかなりのものです。ですが、子供が適齢であり、私達夫婦もまだ体力がある日数のうちに行けたので、満足度は高いです。

My 7-year-old son was thrilled to try zip-lining in Japan, so we decided to challenge ourselves with our first zip-line experience abroad in Hawaii. The reservation process was smooth, and on the day of the activity, we enjoyed six runs with a group of people from overseas. There were two instructors, both of whom were very lively, and my son had a great time throughout. While other zip-line locations in Hawaii have age and weight restrictions, I think this place is kind in many ways and offers a lot of fun.

7歳の息子が日本でジップラインをやって大喜びしたので．ハワイでもチャレンジしてみようと、海外では初めてのジップラインに行ってみました。
予約から当日までスムーズで現地では、海外の方々と同じグループで6本の滑走を楽しみました。
インストラクターが2名付きましたが、お二人とも大変ノリが良く、息子も終始楽しんでいました。
ハワイの他の場所のジップラインは年齢や体重で参加出来ないところがある中で、ここは色々な意味で親切だと思いますし、とても楽しめると思います。

Had a good time in a group of different ages from teens to 40s! Recommend!

I challenged my son to skydiving for the first time. It's a lifelong memory. I haven't told my son, but I was scared—I'm glad we did it on impulse.

初めてのスカイダイビングを息子とチャレンジ
一生の思い出です。ただ　息子には言ってませんが怖かったー勢いでやれて良かった

I caught a lot of fish and had a great time! They even grilled the fish for us right there. The fishing technique is a bit challenging, but once you get the hang of it, you can catch a lot!

沢山釣れて遊べました!魚もその場で焼いて食べさせてくれました釣り方は難しいですなパターンを掴めば良く釣れますよ！

It was very pleasant and fun! We rode a tractor-like bus for about 10 minutes to get to the zipline location. There were movie posters here and there, and it seemed like they filmed here. The driver was explaining things, but I couldn't understand in English. I kind of got the atmosphere, though. The zipline instructor was also kind. Of course, it was in English, but I could somewhat understand. They communicated with simple English like, "What animals do you like?" There were only me and my child as Japanese people, but it wasn't scary and was enjoyable!

とても気持ち良くて楽しかったです！
10分くらいトラクターっぽいバスに乗ってジップラインの場所まで行きます。ところどころ映画の看板があって、ここで撮影したみたい。運転手さんが説明してたけど英語で分からなかった。雰囲気でなんとなく分かったけど。
ジップラインのインストラクターさん？も優しかった。もちろん英語だけどなんとなく分かった。『動物何が好き？』とか簡単な英語でコミュニケーションしてくれる感じ。日本人は私と子供だけだったけど、怖くないし楽しかったです！

A 90-minute tour through the jungle of Kualoa Ranch.
You get to ride in a vehicle that can handle the large mountain roads as you explore Kualoa Ranch. The driver explains everything in English, and once you pass through the jungle, you can see breathtaking views.
There are multiple photo opportunities at scenic points, so I took a lot of pictures.
The ride was quite bumpy and fast, making it feel like an attraction.
If I had to point out something, it mentioned in the list of items for this tour that a photo of a Japanese driver's license or passport would be acceptable. I brought my driver's license, but it was rejected by the staff as ID, so I wish they had specified that a driver's license was not acceptable.

90分間クアロア牧場の密林を巡るツアー。
でかい山道でも走れる車に乗せてもらいクアロア牧場を駆け巡ります。全て英語でドライバーが説明してくれますが密林を抜けると絶景が見れます。
何度も絶景ポイントについて写真タイムがあるので撮りまくりました。
激しく揺れたりスピードを出して走ってもらったり、まるでアトラクションでした。
強いていうならこのツアーの持ち物欄に日本の免許証やパスポートを写真で撮影したものでも問題ありません。と書かれていたので免許証を持って行ったが、かなくなに係員にIDとして却下されたので免許証は不可と書いて欲しかった。

ALOHA!
I was able to visit the long-awaited Manoa Falls for my 60th birthday.
I was impressed by the various plants and untouched nature, and above all, I had a wonderful time thanks to Susumu's delightful talk!
MAHALO!
I definitely want to repeat this experience.
A hui hou!

ALOHA！
還暦を迎えて念願のマノア滝を訪れることができました。
様々な植物と手つかずの自然に感激、そして何と言ってもススムさんの愉快なトークで楽しいひとときを過ごすことができました！
MAHALO！
是非またリピートしたいと思います。
ア・フイ・ホウ！

Hotel pickup included, 2-hour four-wheeler buggy experience (morning).
Due to the bus schedule, we didn't have time to eat lunch on-site, but we thoroughly enjoyed the 2-hour buggy ride.
The driver can be changed during the ride (there were about three change points), and my spouse and I took turns driving while enjoying the stunning views. It was a very satisfying experience.

ホテルに送迎つき、2時間の四輪バギー体験（午前）
バスの送迎の時間の都合上、
現地でお昼を食べる時間はありませんでしたが、
バギーは2時間たっぷり楽しめました。
運転手も途中で交代可能（交代ポイントは3カ所くらいありました）で、夫婦で交代して乗り、
絶景を見ながらの走行、とても満足のいく体験でした。

I suddenly saw a mountain that looked just like the one from Jurassic Park, and it brought back memories of that scene. You can also see the ocean, and there are many breathtaking viewpoints. The drive was exciting too.

まさにジェラシックパークで出てきた急にきりだった山が見えてシーンが思い出されました。また海も見えるし、絶景ポイントが沢山ありました。
運転もエキサイティングでした。

When you think of Hawaii, you might think of the many ocean activities, but the mountain activities are also fantastic. We had an amazing time horseback riding on a trail that felt like dinosaurs could appear at any moment. The horses were all very smart and walked in line without much need for reins. The Japanese guide provided explanations, and there was also a video in Japanese that explained horseback riding, so even if you're not good at English, it's not a problem. I would love to participate again.

ハワイと言えば海のアクティビティが多いですが、山のアクティビティも最高です。
恐竜が出てきそうな山道を家族で乗馬して最高な時間でした。
お馬さんはみんな賢くて手綱裁きはほとんどせずに列に並んで歩いてくれました。
日本の方のガイドさんの説明や日本語のビデオでも乗馬の説明をしてくれるので、英語が苦手でも問題ありません。
また参加したいです。

We left our hotel in Waikiki early and arrived in about 50 minutes. The place we got off at was locked, and upon closer inspection, it seemed a bit different, so we walked a bit further and found a sign that said "Check-In," where we waited. However, even when the meeting time came, they didn't arrive for quite a while and showed up 10 minutes later. The explanation was only in English, and I could only understand a little through gestures. At first, I was scared, but once I got used to it, I was able to enjoy horseback riding while feeling the North Shore breeze.

I was fine, but a foreign participant with us seemed to have some issues. My husband said his butt hurt. It was a valuable experience.

早めにワイキキのホテルを出発したところ50分くらいで着きました。降りたところが鍵がかかっており、よーく見てみるとちょっと違ってたので、先の方に行ってみるとチェックインと書いてあったので、そこで待っていました。しかし集合時間になってもなかなか来ず10分後にきました。説明は英語のみで身振り手振りで何となくしかわからない状態で出発。最初は怖かったですが慣れるとノースショアの風を感じながら、気持ちよく乗馬出来ました。
私は何ともなかったのですが、一緒に参加した外国の方はまたズレ？してました。主人は、お尻が痛いと言ってました。貴重な経験が出来ました。

I have a fear of heights, but thanks to everyone's reviews and the YouTube videos I watched to prepare, I really enjoyed the day! However, our lack of English skills meant that the details of our reservation were completely ignored. They were promoting plans like having another cameraman fly and take photos, and there are plans that allow you to fly even higher, targeting Japanese customers. As a beginner, I ended up with a plan that goes up to the highest altitude with an oxygen mask, which was a big misunderstanding, so please be careful! But it was so much fun!

高所恐怖症の私ですが、みなさんの感想やYouTubeの映像で予習していったおかげで当日は本当に楽しめました！！
ただ！！私達の英語力が無かったのでしょうがないですが、こちらで予約した内容は一切無視
もう1人カメラマンが飛んで撮影するプランがあるよ！もっと高く飛べるプランがあるよ！と日本人を狙って営業してきます
初心者なのに酸素マスク付きの最高度まであがるプランとなり大誤算でしたお気をつけください！
でもとっても楽しかったです！！

There were 4 adults in our group. The novice tour was fantastic. Joe was our tour guide and she was awesome! She made sure we were comfortable before taking off. Explaining every step of the way. Very knowledgeable of the area. There were a couple of challenges along the way (we had never ridden e-bikes before) but it was exactly what I had expected as far as the bike ride went and the tour was even better. If you are a movie buff or just want to see the views it is a great all around. Highly recommend the novice e-bike tour.

While riding a buggy, I toured filming locations like Jurassic World, and the views of the ocean and mountains from there were absolutely stunning!

I also had a lot of fun driving through bumpy roads and shallow river-like areas with the buggy!

There was a bit of waiting time before and after the activity, but there were places to eat and souvenir shops, so I didn't have any idle time, which was great!

　バギーを乗りながらジュラシック・ワールド等の撮影地を周るのですが、そこから見る海や山がとにかく絶景でした！

　そして凸凹道や浅い川のようなところをバギーで通ったりし、凄く楽しかったです！

　アクティビティの前後の待ち時間が少々ありましたが、食事を食べれるところやお土産屋さんもあり、暇な時間ができなくて良かったです！

We had an amazing time riding the ATV. Our tour guides were great and kept us entertained. The views are great and the information was interesting. We will be coming back.
The only thing I would recommend is having a tour guide in the back as well as in the front. We had someone stay behind for about 10 minutes and there was no one to guide us in the back. Also please make the ATV's suitable for short people. I couldn't drive it, because I couldn't reach the peddles.
But over all an great experience. Loved it!!!!

It was lots of fun… the company we chose was great… easy pickup and return to your hotel area… people were super friendly and the breakfast part of it was a great option to choose… all good… the hike was awesome… be prepared though … water and light clothing… we went in August and it was very warm out even before sunrise. Excellent views… I would totally recommend this company for this event…!!!!! The views are amazing…!!!

Absolutely loved and enjoyed this experience. It was my husband’s first time, and he had the time of his life. This experience would have been nothing without the zip lining associates that were so professional, yet encouraging and light hearted at the same time! Special shoutout to Reagan & Shiloh, what an awesome crew! I forgot the guys name but he was great too, made some funny jokes on our atv ride out to the zip lines. Speaking of zip lines, such a fun experience and a great workout might I add. If you have a fear of heights that you want to get over, then this zip lining crew is the one you want!!

PS, if you’re driving from Wakiki to this place, be prepared to be blown away with some breathtaking views of the island!

My children had a blast that day! It was their first time on an ATV! The staff was extremely friendly, patient, & kind. We will be back again when we visit the Norrh Shore. What a great experience for all ages!

First of all, it was really too much fun... The first one started with a bit of nervous excitement. But once it began, the amazing views, thrills, and enjoyment made it feel like no time had passed. I'm grateful to the girls who joined me and made it even more fun. Just remembering that feeling brings back the joy! The hike to the next zip line was quite tough, but it was so much fun that it made it all worthwhile! I want to participate again. Thank you!

まずはほんとに楽し過ぎて‥
一本目はちょっと緊張してドキドキからのスタートでした。でも始まってしまったら最高の景色とスリルと楽しさであっと言うまでした。
一緒に回ってくれた女の子達も楽しく盛り上げてくださり感謝です。
あの感覚を思い出すだけで楽しさがよみがえります！
次のジップラインまでのハイキングは結構キツかったけど、それが吹っ飛ぶほど楽し過ぎました！
また参加したいです。
ありがとうございました！

This was my first time participating in a tour at Kualoa Ranch. Since I had rented a car, I opted for a plan without transportation. With the no-transportation plan, there were no coordinators, so the process was simply checking in upon arrival, and it didn't matter whether I made the reservation here or directly on-site.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, but there were two disappointing points. I had checked the best seats in advance, so I arrived early at the meeting place to secure a good seat. However, due to a Chinese family that arrived last, my seat was changed to the very back, which was the bumpiest spot.

Additionally, that Chinese family occupied the seats in front of us and, for some reason, kept eating rice balls and Spam in the shaking vehicle, creating a cloud of dust. I wanted to enjoy the natural scents, but instead, it smelled like Spam.

クアロアランチのツアーは初参加。レンタカーを借りていたので送迎なしのプランでした。送迎なしプランはコーディネーターさんなどいないので到着してチェックインしてといった流れでこちらで予約しても現地で直接予約しても変わりません。
ツアー自体は満喫しましたが残念だった点が2点ほど、
事前にベストの座席をチェックしていたので早めに集合場所に行き座席を確保したのですが、最後に来た中国人家族団体のせいで座席を変更されてしまいまさかの1番揺れる1番後ろの席になりました。
さらにその中国人家族団体は私たちの前の席を陣取っており何故か砂煙が舞う揺れる車中でずっとおにぎりやスパムを食べていました。せっかく自然の香りを堪能したかったのにスパム臭い。

Expérience géniale !
Dans un décor sublime un moment inoubliable
Je vous conseille le VTT Raptor pour faire le plein de sensations.
Vous pouvez venir avec vos enfants en toute sécurité !

This time, I had a two-hour horseback riding experience with my grandchildren. We leisurely toured a location that was also used for a movie shoot, making it a wonderful memory for my 70th birthday. Thank you very much! ^ ^

今回は孫たちと2時間の乗馬体験
2時間たっぷり　映画ロケ地にもなった場所をゆっくり巡り最高の古希の思い出になりました　有難うございました^ ^

글라이더 투어 처음으로 해 보았습니다.
긴장이 되긴 했지만, 하기를 잘 했다고 생각이 듭니다.
하늘에서 감동을 잊을 수가 없습니다.
하와이에 왔다면, 꼭~ 유인 글라이더 투어를 하시기 바랍니다.
완전 강추 입니다.~^^
무한 도전에서 나오셨던 그 아저씨...
지금은 세월이 15년이나 흘러 할아버지가 되셨지만,
같이 사진 찍어 주시면서 다양한 포즈 취하게 해 주시고 ㅎㅎ
즐겁게 사진을 찍었습니다.
다음에 또 하와이를 간다면 글라이더 투어 한번 더 하고 싶네요~^^

No one spoke English, but the local coordinator was very kind, interesting, and made it enjoyable for us.

英語が誰ひとり、できませんでしたが、現地のコーディネーターの人が大変、優しく、おもしろく、接していただき楽しめる事ができました

I am at fault for being late, but I was delayed in checking in due to traffic conditions, and it seems my reasons were not accepted, so the fee of 150,000 yen will not be refunded. I thought at least I could change the time, but that was also not allowed. I feel so sorry for the children; it was the worst.

時間に遅れた私が悪いのですが、交通事情でチェックインに遅れ、理由を聞き入れてもらえず、代金15万円は返却されないようです。せめて時間変更をと思いましたが時間変更も駄目ということ、子供達が可哀想で可哀想で､､､最悪でした。

Right after jumping, my first impression was "It's cold!" But immediately after, I was shouting "Amazing! This is crazy, crazy!!" I want to experience it not just once, but two or three times.

飛んだ直後は「寒い！」と言うのが感想　でも直ぐに「最高！」「ヤバい、ヤバい！！」と叫んでました。
一度と言わずに二度、三度と体験したいです。

I took advantage of the pick-up service to Waikiki. In the morning, a cheerful older man came to pick me up in a van. All 11 of us boarded the 11-seater, and it took a little over an hour to reach the North Shore.

Upon arrival, I logged in using a touch panel. Everything was in English, but I managed to do it in about five minutes with Google Lens for translation. Then, I went to the register to pay a fuel surcharge of $15 and chose a photo package to complete the process.

I was expecting some safety instructions before the jump, but the instructor helped me put on the gear and briefly said in broken Japanese where to place my hands just before jumping, to "arch my back" while in the air, and to lift my legs upon landing. It was a bit confusing, and I felt a little discomfort when the gear accidentally hit my ear during removal, but I couldn't express it well. Other than that, it was fantastic.

After that, I boarded the plane, jumped, arched my back, lifted my legs, and landed. I received a souvenir at the end. At that time, I was given a bag for tips, which I placed in the box.

On the way back, I rode with the same group. It was a bit scary to eat a sandwich while using my smartphone and driving on the highway, but I made it back safely.

ワイキキへ迎えに来てくれるとのことでそれを利用しました。
朝、元気のいいおじさんがバンで迎えに来てくれました。
11人乗りに11人乗り込んで1時間強くらいでノースショアの現地につきました。

現地に着くとタッチパネルでログイン。
全部英語なのでgoogleレンズで翻訳しながら5分でできました。
そうしたらレジに行き燃料サーチャージ15ドル？を支払い。写真を撮るコースを選び完了。

飛ぶ前に何かしら注意事項があるのかと思っていましたが、インストラクターが器具を装着してくれながら、飛ぶ寸前は手はここ、飛んだら「エビゾリ」、着地は足上げてと片言の日本語で言われて終わりです。
着地して器具を外す時にたまたま耳に金具が当たり痛かったですが伝え方が分からずそこだけがモヤりましたが、あとは最高です。

あとは、飛行機に乗り込んでジャンプしてエビゾリして足上げて着地して終わりです。
記念品をもらいます。その時チップを入れる袋をもらいます。チップを入れて箱に入れます。

帰りの車も同じメンバーで乗って帰ります。
スマホいじりながらサンドイッチを食べながら高速道路を運転するのは少し怖かったですが無事帰りました。

We loved our Raptor trip at Kualoa Ranch. The property is beautiful with so many great stories, and the tour guides were great. We highly recommend!

There are convenient bus transfers from several major hotels in Waikiki. On the day of the trip, I was worried because the bus arrived about 10 minutes late due to a traffic jam, but I was able to board safely.

It takes about an hour by car from Waikiki to Mokuleia. During the ride, the driver gave a brief explanation in English (I couldn't catch much due to my own English skills, but it was no problem). The driver was a cheerful person who even started singing alone, which felt very American, haha.

For skydiving, after checking in, you take off following a brief lecture. You can enjoy beautiful views of the ocean and mountains, so I highly recommend it. This time, I jumped from 1,400 feet, but I would like to try 1,800 feet someday. You can also purchase videos and photos.

ワイキキ内のいくつかの主要ホテルからバス送迎があるので便利です。当日はtraffic jamでバスの到着が10分ほど遅れ心配しましたが、無事に乗れました。

ワイキキからモクレイアまで、車で約1時間ほど。車内でドライバーさんから簡単な説明を英語で受けました(自身の英語力の問題であまり聞き取れなかったですが、問題なしです)。ドライバーさんは愉快な方で、1人で歌を歌い始めたりしてアメリカンでした笑。

スカイダイビングは、受付後、簡単なレクチャーのあと飛び立ちます。綺麗な海と山々の景色を堪能できるのでとてもおすすめです。今回は1,400フィードで飛びましたが、いつか1,800フィートも試してみたい。動画や写真も買うことができます。
