The owner couple from Kansai warmly welcomed us and we had a pleasant ride to the airport.
After arriving at the airport, we received explanations in Japanese at the office! No problem if you can't speak English!
Now, onto the flight.
The 60-minute flight went by in no time. Although the announcements were in English, they introduced famous spots as we flew over them, and I was able to understand with simple words.
This is definitely an experience you should have!

The staff was very good and patient, the horses were fine, even for the beginners, the ride was great. We had a great time and I think the 1.5 hours was just about the right timeframe. One issue I found was that when the wrangler leading a group is at the front and trying to talk to the group, it was almost impossible to understand them from the back of the group (we had 5 in our group). Don't know the answer other than having a wrangler both in front and at the rear of the group, but I know I missed out on much of the discussion.

Overview:
The meeting point is at the back of the airport. If you're coming from a hotel around Waikiki, you can take an Uber or a taxi. It usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes if traffic is light. However, during busy times (like weekday mornings), it could take twice as long. I took about 40 minutes to get there from the Marriott Resort (near the zoo) on a weekday morning. I was a bit late, but I contacted them in advance and it was okay.
After arriving, we received a brief explanation. It can be a bit chilly up in the air (around 15 to 20 degrees in October), so it's good to have long sleeves and long pants (even if they're thin). Beach sandals might fly off, so it's better to wear sneakers or something that won't easily come off (worst case, you'll be barefoot). It's bright up there, so sunglasses are recommended. You can take photos with your smartphone or camera. They provide special straps to prevent dropping your devices, so there's no need to bring your own. Since it was my return day, I brought my suitcase, but they kept it indoors for me. However, for security reasons, it's recommended to put valuables in a locker. They also provided hair ties for those with long hair.
After that, we watched a video explanation and headed to the helicopter. There were four of us, including my spouse, with two in the back and two in the front. We were lucky to sit in the front (which is probably equivalent to first class). Due to the noise, we wore headsets. The pilot provided various information via radio while we were in the air.
The aerial journey lasted about 50 minutes. Those sitting by the window might feel a bit scared since there's no door, but I enjoyed it without much fear. We were warned not to stick our bodies or hands outside, but the wind felt like a concrete wall, so it was practically impossible to do so. There was little turbulence, making for a graceful trip. I was able to capture various spots with my GoPro.
After the flight, they showed us the photos taken before boarding and the video recorded during the trip on a monitor. You can purchase the photos for $35, the video for $65, or both for $85 (prices may vary). I bought the photos and shared my email address to receive the data.
Impressions:
I went on the last day of my trip, and personally, it was a great decision. Seeing the places from above allowed me to reflect on my memories, like realizing how far it is from Waikiki or how beautiful everything looks from above. If you're good at English, listening to the pilot's explanations can provide a lot of knowledge (I struggled with it and had my wife explain later). The photos are very beautiful, and even if they're a bit pricey, I think it's worth purchasing them as a memory. If you haven't filmed yourself, buying the video might also be a good idea.
All the staff were very friendly. Even when I arrived late, they guided me very politely, and they were always bright and kind both on the ground and in the air.
After the flight, if you're heading straight to the airport, it takes about 50 minutes on foot, so an Uber or taxi is essential.
It's definitely not a cheap activity, but I believe it's an experience worth having.
概要:
集合場所は空港の裏側。もしワイキキ周辺ホテルから行く場合はUberやタクシー等での移動。空いている場合は15~20分ほど。ただ時間帯的に混む場合(平日の朝など)は倍ほどかかる可能性。私はマリオットリゾート(動物園近く)から平日朝向かったら40分ほどかかりました。それなりの遅刻となりましたが、事前に連絡を入れたとことOKとのこと。
到着後簡単に説明を受ける。上空は少々寒い(10月で15~20度ほど?)ので長袖長ズボン(薄くても)あると良い。ビーチサンダルは飛んでいくかもしれないので、スニーカーか脱げにくいものを(最悪裸足となります)眩しいのでサングラス着用を勧められる。スマホやカメラでの撮影は可能。落下防止のストラップ等はあちらで専用のものを貸してくれるのでわざわざ持っていく必要なし。帰国の日だったのでキャリケースも持っていきましたが室内に置いておいてくれました。ただ防犯上貴重品だけはロッカーに入れることをおすすめします。長髪の方は髪を縛るゴムも貸してくれました。
その後動画で説明を聞いて、ヘリへ。我々夫婦含めお客は4名で、後ろ2名、前2名。我々はラッキーなことに前(おそらくファーストクラスと同等)に乗車。騒音のためにヘッドセット着用。パイロットが上空で無線で色々と案内をしてくれます。
上空の旅は約50分、窓側の人はドアがないので少々恐怖を感じるも私はあまり感じず楽しめました。体や手を外に出すなと注意されていましたが、風がまるでコンクリートの壁ようで、出そうにも室内に跳ね返されるので実質無理。揺れはあまり感じず、優雅な旅に。goproで様々なスポットを撮影できました。
終了後、乗車前に取ってくれた写真と、旅中に室内を撮影された動画がモニターに映され、写真35$、動画65$、両方で85$(値段は変更の可能性有)で購入可能。写真購入し、メルアドを教えることでデータを共有いただけます。
感想:
旅の最終日に行ったのですが、個人的には大正解でした。行った場所を上空から見ることで、あーここに行ったのかー、ワイキキから結構遠いんだなーとか、上から見るとこんなにきれいなのかーとか、ここでUber拾ったなーなんて、思い出と照らし合わせながら楽しめます。英語が得意な方は上空のパイロットの説明を聞いてると様々が知識が得られます(私は苦手&無線は厳しいため、後で妻から教えてもらいました)。写真はとてもきれいで、少々高くても思い出に購入してもいいかと。動画は自身で撮影してなければ購入してもいいと思います。
スタッフは全員とてもフレンドリーです。遅れて行ってもとても丁寧に案内していただき、地上でも上空でも常に明るく親切にしていただきました。
終了後、もしそのまま空港に行かれる場合は、徒歩で50分ほどかかると出ましたので、Uberかタクシーが必須です。
決して安いアクティビティではありませんが、それでも体験する価値が大変あると思います。

We participated as a pair this time, and since there were only the two of us, it felt like a private tour. A group that left a little earlier had about eight participants, so we were lucky! The instructions for handling the bikes were available in Japanese, but the guide spoke everything in English. However, the guide was kind, and since it was just the two of us, we were able to enjoy the tour at a relaxed pace! I don't fully understand all the movies, so the guide explained a lot about the origin of the name Kualoa, but I couldn't catch some parts... tears. The scenery is, of course, breathtaking and beyond imagination. However, be careful when riding on the sand as it can be slippery. I noticed a member of another team we passed had fallen and scraped their knee, but the guide had disinfectant on hand to treat them right away, so I think they were okay as long as it wasn't a serious injury.
今回2人で参加しましたが、私達2人しかいなかった為ほプライベートツアーに近い状態でした。
少し前に出発したグループは8人程度の参加者がいたのでラッキーでした!
バイク取扱に関する説明は日本語で見る事が出来ますがガイドさんはもちろん全て英語です。
しかしガイドさんが親切で私達2人だった事もあり、ゆっくりのんびりとツアーを楽しむ事が出来ました!当方映画が全て理解出来る訳ではないのでクアロアの名前の由来など凄くたくさん説明してくれましたが一部聞き取れず…涙
景色はもちろん、想像を超えた絶景です。
しかし、砂の上を走る際は滑りやすいので注意が必要です。途中すれ違った違うチームの方は転けてしまったのか膝が擦りむいてしまっていましたがガイドさんが持っている消毒液ですぐに手当してもらっていたので大きな怪我でなければ大丈夫かと思います。

I don't watch movies very often, so I didn't feel much excitement about "this is the filming location of that movie," but the scenery was beautiful, and it was fun and pleasant to drive at our own pace!
We were all geared up with goggles, helmets, and neck guards (for masks?), but a lot of sand got into little gaps and our ears, making us quite dirty, almost like our eyebrows were connected (laughs).
There were some places, especially on my face, where the dirt didn't come off even after washing with water or wiping with wet tissues, so if you have plans after the activity, I think it's better to go with some extra time to wash your face and redo your makeup. I knew my clothes would get dirty, so I brought a change of clothes and ended up throwing away what I was wearing (the dirt seemed like it could be washed out normally though).
Considering the downside of getting dirty, the enjoyment outweighed it, so I think everyone should try it at least once!
映画はあまり見ないので「ここがあの映画のロケ地なんだ」という感動はあまり感じられませんでしたが、景色もいいし、運転も自分たちである程度緩急つけられて楽しかったし気持ちよかったです!
ゴーグル・ヘルメット・マスクがわりのネックガード(?)すべて装着して乗っていましたが、ちょっとした隙間や耳の穴などに砂がたくさん入ってきてかなり汚れて眉毛がつながったみたいになりました(笑)
水で洗ったりウェットティッシュで拭いたりしても落ちないところ(特に顔)があったので、アクティビティの後も予定を入れている場合は、時間に余裕をもって行って、洗顔してメイクし直した方がいいなと思いました。
服が汚れるのはわかっていたので、着替えを持って行って、来ていた服は捨てました(ふつうに洗濯すれば落ちそうな汚れでしたが・・)。
汚れるデメリットを鑑みても楽しめた方が上回ったので、1回は体験してみてほしいなと思いました!

The meaning of the title is something that those who have taken this tour would understand. I had the valuable experience of riding a horse through the great outdoors. At first, it felt nice to ride, but after two hours, it felt a bit long. For those who have never ridden a horse, it might be tough, so taking a buggy or bus might be better. Also, I found that there weren't as many tourist attractions at Kualoa Ranch as I expected, and when you opt for the shuttle service, the waiting time felt long. For those who are used to using Uber, I think choosing a plan without the shuttle would allow for more freedom of movement.
タイトルの意味は、このツアーに行った方であればわかると思います。大自然の中を馬に乗りながら進むという貴重な経験ができました。最初は気持ち良く馬に乗っていたのですが、2時間は少し長いと感じました。馬に乗ったことがない方は乗馬がキツイと感じるかもしれないため、バギーやバスの方が良いかもしれません。また、クアロアランチは思っていたよりも観光するところがなく、送迎付きにすると待ち時間が長く感じました。Uberを使うのに慣れている方は、送迎なしのプランにした方が自由に動けるので良いかなと思いました。

It's hard to decide which experience to choose, but the electric assist mountain bikes are easy to ride even for us (a couple in our 50s) who don't ride bicycles regularly, and we can easily climb hills. Just be careful with sudden brakes on downhill slopes. We stopped at recommended spots along the way. The local staff were also very courteous in guiding us. Our clothes didn't get too dirty either. Above all, riding a mountain bike is truly the best way to experience Kualoa. The atmosphere allows for natural smiles and interactions with the foreign guests we were with. Unfortunately, our English skills... we couldn't fully understand the staff's detailed explanations at those spots.
どの体験をするか迷いますが、電動アシストマウンテンバイクは日頃自転車に乗っていない私達(50代夫婦)も容易に運転ができしかも楽に坂道も登れます。降り坂は急ブレーキに注意。途中オススメのスポットには停車。現地スタッフの方々も丁寧に案内してくれます。服装もさほど汚れることはありません。何と言ってもクアロアを肌で感じるには本当にマウンテンバイクは最高です。途中から同行の外国人の方々とも自然に笑顔を交わせるような雰囲気になります。残念なのは私達の英語力…。スタッフの方のそのスポットでの丁寧な説明が理解出来ず。

I had to quickly book this tour because the buggy tour was sold out, but it turned out great. On the day of the tour, we were picked up at 7:30 at the Sheraton Aloha Landing, and there was a briefing for all the tours at the site (since my English isn't very good, we could hardly understand anything, only the e-bike registration and the location of the restroom). There were six participants in total: a couple from Europe, a couple from Korea, and us, plus the guide, which made for a small group. At registration, we were instructed to store larger bags in lockers. You can buy drinks on-site, but they're not particularly cheap, so I recommend bringing your own.
The instructions on how to operate the e-bike and safety precautions were provided in a video with Japanese subtitles, which was helpful. My wife, who usually only rides a regular bike, was a bit scared, but there was practice before we started, and she seemed to get used to it and enjoy the ride. The small group size and the guide's constant consideration made us feel at ease.
We stopped at filming spots and beautiful views to take photos with the guide. The scenery was amazing! There were many spots where we encountered people on buggies or trolley tours; while the routes were different, I think they covered similar highlights. I had originally aimed for the buggy tour, but seeing the buggies moving slowly in a line made me realize it wasn't the thrilling experience I had imagined. The e-bike allowed me to go at my own pace, and both the handling and speed felt fantastic, leaving me very satisfied.
We returned to the starting point at 11:30 and finished by buying hamburgers at a restaurant (the taste was average), had lunch, and departed for home at 1:00 PM. I chose the morning-only tour, and it was just right.
バギーツアーが売り切れたため急遽こちらのツアーを予約しましたがよかったです。当日はシェラトンのアロハランディングに7:30ピックアップ、現地で全てのツアーまとめてブリーフィングがありました(英語が苦手な私達はほとんど聞き取れず、e-bikeの受付とトイレの場所だけ理解できました)。e-bikeは欧米人夫婦、韓国人夫婦と私達夫婦の6人の参加者+ガイドさんの少人数でした。受付時に荷物が大きい方はロッカーに預けるよう指示されます。現地で買えますが、特別安くはないので飲み物持参をオススメします。
操作法や注意事項の説明は動画で、日本語字幕があり助かりました。普段ママチャリしか乗らない妻は怖がっていましたが、スタート前に練習もあり、道中は慣れて楽しめたようです。少人数で、ガイドさんが常に気遣ってくださったのも安心でした。
映画の撮影スポットや景色がいいところで自転車を止め、その都度ガイドさんに写真を撮っていただけました。景色最高です!途中でバギーやトロリーツアー?の方々とも一緒になるスポットも多く、ルートは違うのでしょうが共通点もあり見どころは押さえてあると思います。もともとバギーツアーを狙っていましたが、バギーがゆっくり列で進んでいたのを見ると、私がイメージしていた疾走感のあるものではなさそうだったので、自分のペースで進めるe-bikeは操作感、疾走感ともに非常に気持ちがよく大満足でした。
11:30にスタート地点に戻って終了、レストランでハンバーガーを買って(味は普通)、ランチを済ませて、13:00出発で帰宅しました。午前だけのツアーを選びましたが丁度良かったです。

It's far, but definitely worth it!
We traveled in a comfortable large bus with spacious seats.
The roads were congested, but since we climbed Diamond Head and visited the KCC Farmers' Market in the morning, it was nice to be able to sleep comfortably on the bus.
As we got closer, the color of the sea and the mountain scenery changed, allowing us to enjoy a mystical view that is different from the urban Waikiki.
All explanations were in English.
We had free time until the tour started, and we enjoyed a buffet with curry, meat, and salad. There was also a shop. There were plenty of things to see and do freely, so we had more than enough time to pass.
A paper with the meeting time and return time was distributed to each person, so as long as you keep it until the end, you can feel at ease. Even if you can't speak English, you can show the paper to get directions to the meeting place.
One issue was that the locker had a credit card error, didn't give change, and there were no staff nearby.
In the end, I was able to exchange money at the counter where I bought the tour ticket. Thanks to that trouble, I became friends with a newlywed Japanese couple participating in the same tour, so it turned out well. Unexpected events are part of traveling.
The horses are quite tall, which might be scary for beginners, but they are very gentle and listen carefully to instructions.
Basically, even without commands, they will move on their own when the horse in front starts to go, but if you keep making physical contact, they will look back as if to ask, "Is it okay to go?" and wait for a signal. So cute and smart! After a tough path, I thanked them many times.
There was no fast walking, so it was a leisurely stroll, but there were bumpy paths with ups and downs.
The guide was explaining something, but it was far away and in English, so I couldn't catch what they were saying at all. I want to improve my English skills and try again someday.
Calves came close, and the impressive mountains and breathtaking sea were just amazing! Since we were lined up in a row, there was hardly any interaction with other participants, which was comfortable for me as someone who joined alone. If you want to socialize with everyone, a bus tour or other activities might be good. Riding was a great choice for a unique experience!
Be prepared to get a little dirty or wet, so wearing comfortable clothes and shoes is important.
It drizzled, but there was no rainbow.
I wanted to see a Hawaiian rainbow!
I bought photos! I also purchased a T-shirt and a shop bag. They were cute, inexpensive, and of good quality. I wish I had bought more of the green and black bags hanging on the wall at the souvenir shop's register!

近づくにつれて、海の色 山の風景が変わっていき、都会なワイキキとは違う 神秘的な絶景を楽しめます。
説明は全て英語。
ツアー時間までは自由時間で、ビュッフェでカレーやお肉、サラダを食べれました。売店もあります。他にも色々自由に見て回れるので、時間は充分に潰せます。
集合時間や帰りの時間の書いた紙を1人ずつ配られるので、最後まで無くさず持っていたら安心です。英語話せなくても紙を見せれば集合場所を教えてくれます。
1つ困ったのはロッカーがクレジットカードエラー&お釣が出ない&近くにスタッフがいない。
結局 ツアーチケットを買うカウンターで両替してもらえました。そのトラブルのおかげで同じツアーに参加する日本人の新婚さんと仲良くなれたので、結果オーライ。旅にハプニングはつきものです。
馬はかなり背が高く 初心者には怖いかも
でもとても穏やかで、繊細に指示を聴いてくれるちょー賢い子達です。
基本 指示がなくても、前の子が進み出したら勝手に進んでくれますが、スキンシップを取り続けると、「進んでいいの?」と振り返る素振りを見せて合図を待ってくれるようになりました。可愛&賢い!ハードな道のあとは「ありがと」とたくさん声かけました。
早足は無しなのでゆったり散歩する程度ですが、凸凹道 アップダウンあります。
ガイドさんがなにやら説明してますが、遠いし英語だし何言ってるか全く聞き取れなかったから、英語力をあげてまたいつか再チャレンジしたいな。
子牛が近づいて来たり、圧巻の山、絶景の海、
めっちゃ気持ち~!1列に並んでるので 他の参加者たちとの交流はほぼなく、1人で参加した身としては快適でした。みんなでわぃわぃしたいのであればバスツアーとか他のアクティビティもいいかも。なかなか出来ない経験としては乗馬で大正解でした♪
多少は汚れたり 濡れたりする覚悟で、
動きやすい服・靴大事です。
霧雨降りましたが 虹は出ず。
ハワイアンレインボー見たかった~!
写真購入!Tシャツ & ショップバックも購入。可愛いくて安くて質もよし。お土産屋さんのレジの壁にかかってる緑と黒のバック もっといっぱい買えばよかったな~!

I definitely want to ride again when I come to Hawaii. The scenery, with mountains and the ocean, allowed me to fully enjoy nature. I truly made the best memories in Hawaii.
またハワイに来たら絶対乗りたいです。
景色も山と海があり、大自然満喫できました。
本当にハワイ1最高の思い出ができました。

Considering the transportation, costs, and time spent in Hawaii, I honestly hesitated before making the reservation. However, my experience was truly amazing, and I was able to enjoy a luxurious time in Hawaii! The scenery and interaction with the horses were unique, and I felt genuinely healed while riding and feeling the warmth of the horses (*^^*).
We debated on transportation, but we decided to rent a car. We were able to stop by shops in Haleiwa and enjoy garlic shrimp from a food truck (it was emotional to have it again after 15 years!) and also visited the Dole Plantation, making for a very fulfilling day that included horseback riding. The instructor spoke entirely in English, but explained things clearly with gestures. The horses were very well-behaved, and we enjoyed a relaxed ride while only lightly holding the reins (^^).
The entrance by car was a bit tricky to find, but once you see the arena, slow down a bit, and you'll find the gate. After entering through the first large gate, you'll soon see the horses. We changed into shoes in the car (my husband wore sneakers, while my daughter and I wore compact flat shoes with belts to avoid bulky luggage) and prepared by signing in and borrowing helmets and storage for our belongings. The storage was a pocket-style that could be placed on the horse's back, fitting a phone, camera, and even a small water bottle. We also got to take photos by the beach, which made for wonderful memories! (The instructor called out at just the right moments.)
We wore long pants, but there was no worry about getting dirty while riding, so we could go shopping afterward. (Since there was a bit of sand blowing, it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes if you're concerned.) The daytime was fantastic, but I imagine the sunset would offer even more beautiful scenery, so I hope to experience it again!
The theme of this trip was to experience things that can only be done in Hawaii, and this horseback riding experience was perfect for that, creating the best memories for our family! Thank you so much to the wonderful instructor and the adorable horses ( ´ ▽ ` ) mahalo!
現地までの移動やお値段、ハワイでの滞在時間を考えた際、申し込みまで正直悩みました。しかし実際体験できての感想は、本当に贅沢なハワイ時間を過ごすことができて最高でした!!まさしくここでしか経験できない景色とお馬達との触れ合い、乗せてもらってお馬さんの温もりを感じながら本当に癒されました(*^^*)
移動手段で悩みましたが私達はレンタカーで向かい、ハレイワのお店やワゴンのガーリックシュリンプ(15年振りに食べれてそれも感動でした!)やドールプランテーションにも立ち寄れたので乗馬を含めとても充実した1日になりました。
先生はオール英語ではありますが、ジェスチャーなども交えながら分かりやすく説明してくれます。先生についていく感じで本当にお利口なお馬さん達でこちらは手綱を軽く持つ程度でゆったり乗馬を楽しめました(^^)
車での入り口が少し分かりづらいですが競技場がみえてきたら少しゆっくり走行していくとゲートがあり1つ目の大きなゲートの次のところを入っていくとすぐお馬達がみえる感じです。車で靴をシューズ(主人はスニーカー、私と娘は荷物がかさばらないよう少しコンパクトになるベルト付きのフラットシューズ)に履き替え、乗る前にサイン、ヘルメットと荷物入れを借りて準備します。荷物入れはお馬さんの背中に置かせてもらえるポケット式のもので携帯やカメラ、小さいものであれば水筒も入るサイズです。途中浜辺のところで写真も撮ってもらえて最高の記念になりました!!(程よいタイミングで先生が声を掛けてくれます)
服装は長ズボンになりますが乗った際に汚れてしまうようなことはなくそのまま買い物などできました。(若干砂が舞うので気になる方は着替えを持参されるといいかもです)
日中も最高でしたがサンセットの時間はさらにいい風景なのだろうと思うので、また体験できたらと思いました!
ハワイでしか体験できないことをが今回の旅行のテーマだったので、こちらでの乗馬体験はまさしくそれにぴったりで、家族の最高の思い出になりました!!
素敵な先生、そして可愛いお馬さん達、本当にありがとうございました( ´ ▽ ` )mahalo!

You can enjoy the breathtaking views of Kualoa while riding a horse.
The horse knows the route well, so you basically don’t have to do much to keep moving forward.
The local staff provides explanations, but I couldn’t understand what they were saying in English; however, during that time, you can enjoy the stunning scenery.
The views had a power that photos just can't capture.
You can also have photos taken, so I was satisfied.
クアロアの絶景を馬に乗りながら楽しめます
馬がルートをほとんど把握してるので基本的に何もしなくても進んでくれます
現地スタッフが解説してくれてますが英語で何言ってるか分かりませんが、その間に絶景を楽しめます
景色は写真では伝わりきらない迫力がありました
写真も撮ってもらえるので満足です

It was the best of the best experience for skydiving! The scenery and location were good, the staff were kind, and I was able to capture it in photos and videos. I also received a lot of T-shirts and commemorative goods, which was great. If I had to say something, it would have been nice to speak more English, and it would have been even better if they had reminded me to face the camera more during the video shoot, haha. It's a bit selfish, but more than anything, I'm glad I had such an amazing experience, so I highly recommend it, and I strongly want to try skydiving in another location!!!
スカイダイビングの経験としては最高of最高でした!
景色やLocationはGood、Staffの皆様も優しくて、写真にも動画にも残せて、Tシャツも記念Goodsもたくさんもらえてよかったです
強いて言うなら、英語がもっと喋れたらよかったのかもしれませんが、動画撮像の時にカメラの方もっと向くことを声かけしてくれてたら、もっとよかったです笑
わがままですが、でも何よりも最高の経験ができたことがよかったのでおすすめですし、また別の場所でスカイダイビングしたいと強く思えました!!!
Thank you!

I was satisfied to be able to ride a horse alone for two hours. There were times when I felt rushed because the instructions were only in English, but the horse was smart, so I didn't have any problems, haha. The scenery was beautiful!
1人で馬に2時間乗ることができ満足です。
指示が英語のみで焦る時もありますが、馬がお利口なので困ることはありませんでした笑
景色が素敵でした!

Masks, goggles, and helmets were provided for free.
A driver's license is required for the person driving.
I forgot my license, and the staff member drove for me, but it was better to have them drive because they explained various things and pointed out different spots (all in English).
マスク、ゴーグル、ヘルメットは無料で貸してもらえた。
運転する人は、運転免許証は必須。
免許証忘れて、スタッフの人が運転してくれたが、自分で運転するよりも、運転してもらった方が、色々と説明・各スポットを教えてくれて良かった(全て英語だが)。
