All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

Joe and Kylie were great and a lot of fun.
Great afternoon and very organized.
Well done

The shuttle plan was included, and the bus arrived right on time. It was a comfortable ride. After arriving at the location, we received an explanation from a Japanese guide and split into different courses. In the buggy course, we were the only Japanese group. After watching a video, we put on our helmets and set off. For a full two hours, we drove the buggies through the stunning scenery of Kualoa Ranch. There was plenty of time at the photo spots. The guide provided explanations, but we were completely lost (laughs). Anyway, we ended up covered in dirt and dust... After it was over, we looked at each other and burst out laughing. It was an amazing experience to feel the nature of Hawaii.

送迎プラン付き、時間ぴったりにバスが到着。乗り心地のいいバスでした。 現地に到着後、 日本人ガイドの方に説明を受け、それぞれのコースに分かれます。 バギーコースは、日本人は私たち1組だけでした。 ビデオ鑑賞後、ヘルメットを装着。 いざ出発。たっぷり2時間、クアロアランチの絶景の中、バギーを走らせます。 写真撮影スポットでは、充分な時間があります。ガイドの方の説明がありますが、私達にはちんぷんかんぷん(笑) とにかく、土ぼこりでどろどろになります…終わってから、顔を見合わせて、爆笑しました。 ハワイの自然を体感でき、最高でした。

It was an amazing flight with very professional pilots. We were able to stay up for 40 minutes and catch amazing views of the ocean runway and mountains. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone. Thank you for treating us like family and we will forever be friends. Thank you Mr. Bill!!!

2-hour Raptor Tour
Driving the buggy in a line is quite challenging.
Since I'm short, I had a hard time reaching the accelerator properly.

I was covered in dust from the vehicle in front for the entire 2 hours, and afterward, my clothes and face were a complete mess!

You get to see valuable filming locations up close and at a leisurely pace, so I think it's worth experiencing at least once.

2時間のラプターツアー
前後隊列を組みながらバギーを走るのは結構大変
私は身長が低いのでアクセルまで足がしっかり届かなくて、大変でした

前の車両からの砂埃を2時かん浴び続け、終わったあとは服も顔も、そりゃもう大変なことに！

貴重な撮影場所を間近でゆっくり観られるので、一度体験してみたらいいと思います

The horseback riding experience along the beach was very pleasant, and the horses were calm, so I felt safe riding them.

We participated as a couple, and there were five other participants along with two guides. One led the way while the other checked on everyone’s situation and provided support, which was reassuring.

They also take photos at the beach, making for great memories. This is a tour I would like to join again the next time I visit Hawaii.

After horseback riding, you can enjoy a leisurely lunch in Haleiwa and explore the shops, so I highly recommend it.

I went horseback riding for two hours!

Riding a horse while surrounded by the beautiful sea on my right and the natural mountains that served as the backdrop for Jurassic World on my left was an experience that you can't have in Japan.

- At first, both my friend and I were scared because the horse was much larger than we imagined, but after about 20 minutes, we grew attached.

- There was a low-rated comment mentioning that the return time was set for 5:00 PM, but I think that's the person's responsibility. In the reservation details, you can choose your preferred departure and return times, and if you respond with something like "anytime is fine," the organizers might prioritize their own schedule. If you want to return at 1:00 PM, just state that, and there won't be any issues.

- The staff who guide you at first can speak Japanese, so there's no need to worry.

- The horseback riding staff only speak English.

- Depending on the horse's personality, some horses can be difficult to control, so it’s a bit of luck. However, it’s enjoyable. My horse dislikes being pulled when told to stop. The horse in front of me often stops suddenly for some reason. My friend's horse is too laid-back and tends to lag behind during the tour, stopping to urinate and defecate three times each.

2時間の乗馬をしました！

右手は、綺麗な海、左手はジュラシックワールドの舞台となった大自然の山々を巡りながら馬を乗るのは日本だとまず味わえない体験になりました。

・最初は、馬が想像以上に大きいので彼女も私も怖かったですが20分もすれば、愛着湧きます。

・低評価コメで、帰りの時間が17:00になった！と記載した方もおりますが、それはその人の責任かと。事前の予約の文面に、行き帰りの希望時間を選択でき、そこの選択欄でどちらでも良い！みたいな回答をすると、主催者側の都合で、後回しにされるので、帰りが13:00希望なら13:00と記載すれば何ら問題ありません。

・日本語が話せるスタッフが最初ガイドするので、不安もいりません。

・乗馬のスタッフは、英語オンリーだそうです

・馬の性格によりきりで、馬のコントロールが難しい馬がいますので、そこは運次第。でも、楽しめます。○私の馬は止まれで引っ張られるのが嫌い。　○私の前の馬は、なぜか急に止まることが多い　○彼女の馬はマイペースすぎて、ツアー中、オシッコとうんちを3回ずつ、行い列から遅れがち　など

Had a blast and would definitely return once we’re on the island. Facility was perfect and the crew/guide were very polite and accomodating.

I was worried about being able to drive, but the driving itself was easy, and it was my first time riding a buggy, which was amazing. The weather was nice, and it was a fun experience.

You line up, but if you're in the back from about the third row, you can get quite dirty, so be careful with your clothing. You can't choose your order; it's based on the line you stand in. If you can check your bag, it's better to do so. It gets pretty dirty (laughs).

運転できるか不安でしたが運転方法自体は簡単で、バギーも初めて乗りましたが最高でした。
天気も良く面白い体験ができました。
列になっていくのですが前から3列目くらいから後ろだと結構汚れるので服装は注意が必要です。順番は選べないので並んだ順です。
かばんも預けれるなら預けたほうがいいですね。結構汚れます（笑）

Great staff, good people, really good experience. I regret that I don't remember my guides names but they were extremely kind, nice, helpful and friendly. I think one of their names was Aikika. Sorry if I butchered that. Anyways, I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone.

The zip line in the beautiful scenery was amazing! Although I can't speak English at all, the staff communicated with gestures and made me feel comfortable while having fun. I would like to try other activities as well.

素敵な景色の中でのジップラインは最高でした！
英語は全然話せない私ですが、スタッフの人が身振り手振りでレクチャーしてくれて不安なく遊ぶことができました。
また他のアクティビティも参加してみたいです。

This was well worth it!! The staff is excellent from the time you check in to the 3 guides that are with you zip lining to check out if you decide to get the pictures! We were with a great group of people and that made it more fun as you can get to know everyone in your group as it takes about 3 hrs to complete and there is time between each zip line. This was the best thing we did of all the activities myself and 2 kids (ages 15 and 18) did for the 6 days we were here! Highly recommend doing this if you want to zip line. Another thing that is regally nice is if you are staying in Waikīkī you get to drive to the other side of the island and if you have a rental car you get to see other parts of the island that are not full of tourist.

The guide was really awesome of the knowledge of the rainforest!

you get muddy, so definitely prepared what you wear! really gorgeous tour views!

Fun to get to see so many different sides to Kualoa Ranch, and with rides to from Waikiki it made the day a piece of cake!

Every time I visit Northshore, it's always lively, but this time it was particularly vibrant. There were more Americans than Japanese, which was overwhelming. There are plenty of restrooms in the Haleiwa area, which is reassuring. I wished we could have driven to Turtle Bay... it's a bit of a regret. I found a limited edition Patagonia shirt with a Haleiwa logo and ended up buying a lot. The driver was kind, skilled at driving, and a great person. I would like to request them again. Highly recommended!

毎回、Northshoreは訪れるのですが、今回はとても活気がありました。日本人よりアメリカ人ばかりで
圧倒されました。お手洗いもハレイワエリアには
沢山あって、安心です。
タートルベイまで車で行って欲しかったのが…
ココロ残りですが。
ハレイワ限定のロゴのPatagoniaシャツがあり
爆買いしました。
ドライバーさんも優しく、運転もお上手で良い方でした。また、お願いしたいです。おススメです。

After a brief explanation, we were given helmets, goggles, and scarves to cover our noses, and then we set off. The scenery is irresistible for fans of the Jurassic Park movies. It was amazing! Riding the buggies on the mountain paths was thrilling. One thing to note is that this is the attraction where you will get the dirtiest, so be prepared for that. Did you come in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty? We drove through clouds of dust that made it hard to see in front of us. We could only laugh at how dirty we got. It became one of the memorable experiences.

笑うしかない汚れようでした
それも思い出の一つになりました

The tour participants were from many countries, and it was so popular that I wondered if a single large bus could even accommodate everyone.

Since the tour would be canceled in case of rain, I was worried about the weather, but by the time we arrived at the location, it had cleared up.

The buggy experience was conducted in English, but they played a video in Japanese explaining how to operate the buggy, so I had no worries about driving. Even if something irregular happened, they kindly and clearly explained everything in English, so there was nothing to worry about. I have always been a fan of the Jurassic series, and I was truly moved to see the setting in person. It made me think again about how amazing the Earth is and how grand nature can be... It was a buggy tour that made me feel grateful to be here. I was simply overwhelmed by the magnificent scenery and couldn't take my eyes off it.

We stopped at various points, where they provided explanations of the scenery and time for photo opportunities, which was really great. (I couldn't understand most of the English explanations, though, haha.)

It might be an exaggeration, but if you're going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend seeing the scenery here at least once!!

(If I could be a little selfish, I wish we could have visited more filming locations from Jurassic Park...)

ツアー参加者は各国の人大勢で、大きなバス1台でもギリ乗り切れないんじゃないかくらいの人気だった。

雨が降ると中止になるツアーの為、天候悪化も心配していたが、無事現地に到着する頃には晴れてくれた。

バギー体験はもちろん英語のやりとりだが、バギーの乗り方の説明は日本語のビデオを流してくれた為、運転等の心配は全くなく、何かイレギュラーが発生しても英語で優しく分かりやすく教えてくれたので、何も心配はいらなかった。
私は元々ジュラシックシリーズのファンで、生でその舞台を見ることができて本当に感激だった。地球はすごいな、自然は壮大だな・・・と改めて思わせてるそんなバギーツアーだった。ここに来れて良かったと心底思えた。
ただただ壮大な景色に圧倒され、ずっと見惚れていた。
ポイントごとに停車して、景色の説明や写真撮影タイムが設けられていてすごくよかった。(英語の説明はほぼ理解できなかったけど笑)

でも大袈裟かもしれないけど、ハワイに行かれるなら、是非ここの景色は一度見てみてほしい！！

(ただ少しワガママを言うのであれば、もう少し、ジェラシックパークの撮影地を巡ってほしかったなぁ・・・)

I participated with four friends.
At the spot, the guide took fun photos from interesting angles, and we had a great time.
Since the explanations were only in English, I would have appreciated some guidance in Japanese, even if it was simple.

友人４人で参加しました。
スポットではガイドさんが面白いアングルで写真を撮ってくれたりと楽しめました。
説明が英語のみだったので、簡単でも良いので日本語での案内も欲しかったです。

My wife and I participated together. First of all, the staff were very kind, and even though my English wasn't great, they managed to help me. The driving distance was much longer than I expected, and my wife and I took turns driving. Along the way, there were three locations where the staff provided detailed explanations in English, and they spoke slowly, so I was able to understand somewhat. In the last ten minutes, it started pouring rain, and we got completely soaked, but it was the best memory from our seven-night stay in Hawaii. I would like to stop by again next time I go.

妻と二人で参加しました。
先ずは、スタッフの方々がとても親切で、英語がうまく話せなくても何とか対応できました。
走行距離が思ってたよりもかなり長く妻と交代交代運転できました。
途中、３箇所でスタッフからの丁寧な説明があり、英語だったなど、ゆっくり話してくれたので、なんとなく理解できました。
最後の１０分、大雨になりずぶ濡れになりましたが、５泊７泊のハワイ在中で、一番の思い出です。
今度行く時も、また立ち寄りたいです。

My wife and I experienced horseback riding for the first time. I was worried that the two-hour course might be too long for us at 60 years old, but it ended in no time. The scenery was amazing, and I definitely want to participate again next time.

初めて妻と２人で乗馬を体験しました。
２時間コースは６０歳の２人には長いのではないかと心配しましたが、あっという間に終わりました。景色も最高で、次も是非参加したいと思います。

I didn't expect to get covered in an incredible amount of dust while riding the four-wheeler, but it turned out to be a great memory. It was fun to explore the beautiful views at Kualoa Ranch. I was a bit disappointed that there was only an English guide available.

四輪バギーで、半端ない程のホコリ塗れになるとは思ってもおりませんでしたが、それはそれで良い思い出になりました。
クアロアランチの景色の良い所を回るので、楽しかったです。
英語ガイドしかなかったのが、ちょっと残念でした。

This was a fabulous tour. Johnny and Keely were great guides. This was a ton of fun, but be warned, you will get dirty and quite possibly a little wet. Highly recommend this activity.

The only participants from Japan were us, but the staff were very kind. I checked the precautions in a Japanese video. There was a hole in the seat I sat in, and my backside got wet (from water after washing the car), but I quickly forgot about that while riding through the magnificent scenery, covered in dust. My wife was busy taking photos and videos while we were riding, but she stopped at key points for explanations and commemorative photos. It was very dusty, and it was quite a hassle when we got back. But it was fun. The dining area is a bit cramped, so when the bus tours return, a lot of people gather and form a line to order. We had our meal early, so there was no one around. There’s a sign that says "Order Here" on the far right of the food service area, so you can order there, pay at the register, and just wait for the buzzer to go off when your order is ready. The burgers are huge, so for an elderly couple like us, sharing one is just about right. I recommend having a meal before starting, as your mouth will get dusty too. Enjoy!

日本人の参加者は私達だけでしたが、スタッフの方々が親切に対応してくれました。注意事項は日本語のビデオで確認しました。私の座ったシートに穴が開いていて、お尻が濡れてしまいましたが（洗車した後の水）、そんな事もすぐに忘れるくらい壮大な景色の中を埃まみれで走りました。妻は走りながら写真にビデオに忙しそうでしたが、要所要所で止まって説明と記念写真です。とにかく埃で、帰ってきたときは大変でした。でも楽しかったです。食堂が少し狭いので、バスのツアーが帰ってくるとたくさんの人が集中してオーダーの列が出来ます。私たちは早めの食事をとったので、誰もいなかったです。食事を提供している所の一番右にオーダーヒヤーと書いた看板があるので、そこでオーダーしてレジでお金を払い、出来上がるまでブルブルが鳴るのを待っていればOKです。バーガーがでかいので、私たちの様な老夫婦でしたら、1個を二人で分け合ってちょうど良いくらいです。スタート前の食事をお勧めします。口の中も埃だらけになるからです。楽しんでください。

I visited Kualoa Ranch for the first time. The shuttle bus was comfortable, and once we arrived at Kualoa Ranch, the tour guide provided a thorough explanation in English.

The pre-ride video for the ATV was in Japanese, which made it easy to understand.

As we set off, it felt like we had entered the world of a movie. We stopped at movie spots, and the tour guide took many photos in English.

There are restrooms, souvenir shops, and a café. If you want to take your time looking at souvenirs, I recommend allowing extra time for the bus schedule.

I wore clothes that could get dirty and brought a change of clothes to store in a locker. (Even if you cover your face, you can still get dirty. If women plan to go out afterward, it might be good to bring makeup remover for touch-ups.) I hope this is helpful!

クアロアランチに初めて行きました。
送迎バスも快適で、クアロアランチについてからもツアーガイドから丁寧に説明がありました。(英語)

四輪バギー乗車前映像の説明が日本語であり、わかりやすかったです。

いざ出発すると映画の世界に入ったようでした。
映画のスポットにも止まって、英語でのツアーガイド、写真をたくさん撮ってくれます。

トイレ、お土産屋、カフェもあります。
お土産をゆっくりみたい方はバスの時間に余裕が出るようにするといいと思います。

汚れてもいい服で行き、着替えを持って行きロッカーに預けました。(顔もカバーで覆っていても汚れます。女性はそのまま出かけるようであればクレンジング化粧直しまで持って行くと良いと思います。)
少しでも参考になると幸いです。

In the morning, they came to pick us up at the Hyatt Regency where we were staying in Waikiki. With transportation included to Haleiwa, we enjoyed a scenic flight in a Cessna, skydiving at our destination, and then paragliding after experiencing free fall—each was a wonderful experience! Considering all this, the cost performance was excellent, and I truly felt the roundness of the Earth. I personally handed a tip to the person who flew with us as a token of gratitude. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the life-risking job. I decided to travel to Hawaii because I wanted to skydive, and I will definitely come back again while I still have no age restrictions.

ワイキキに滞在中のハイアットリージェンシーまで朝、迎えにきてくださいました。ハレイワまでの送迎付きで、セスナでの遊覧飛行、目的のスカイダイビング、フリーフォール状態を満喫の後のパラセイリングでの空中遊泳、どれもこれも素敵な体験！
と考えるとコストパフォーマンスはばっちり地球が丸いと体感しました。
チップは一緒に飛んでくれた方に感謝を込めて直接お渡ししました。命掛けのお仕事に心より『ありがとう』。　スカイダイビングをしたくてハワイ旅行を決めましたが、年齢制限が自由なうちにまたリピします。

It was an incredibly fun experience racing around the wild course. I dashed through the dust kicked up by the buggy in front of me, getting covered in mud from head to toe, and that was enjoyable too.

ワイルドなコースを走り廻り想像以上の楽しい体験でした。前のバギーからの土埃の中を疾走し、頭から足まで泥まみれでこれも楽しかったです。

I initially wanted to book this my first time in Hawaii back in 2021 but it was sold out. I decided to pre book before my trip this year. I am so glad I did. Me and my boyfriend had the best time. The views and history are just incredible. Our tour guides knew so much history and we were so amazed. The UTV was so much fun. You should DEFINITELY bring something to cover your face or you will be eating a lot of dirt. I would totally book this tour again. Totally worth it!

There were many reviews recommending the buggy, so I decided to participate, and it was amazing! My wife, who is a paper driver, also drove, and she only almost veered into the bushes right after a downhill curve! She said it was really fun!! During the trip, we could switch drivers three times when we got out for photo opportunities, so if you're anxious about driving but want to try, I recommend starting from the beginning. Goggles and helmets are available for rent, but the dust from the buggy was intense, and my nose and mouth area turned completely black. Having a scarf or a snug mask like bikers use would make photo sessions smoother?! Still, it's better to have wet wipes as well. I read that someone mentioned it was cold when it rained, and we also had a sudden rain shower during our time, so you definitely get wet. If the weather looks bad, it might be a good idea to bring a poncho or raincoat from a dollar store.

バギーを勧めるレビューが多かったのでどんなものかと参加しましたが最高でした！
ペーパードライバーの妻も運転しましたが
下り坂直後のカーブで草むらに突込みかけただけですみました！とても楽しかったそうです！！
途中3回写真撮影で下車する時に交代出来るので
運転に不安があるけどしてみたい方はスタートからがお勧めです
ゴーグルとヘルメットは貸出ありですがバギーの土埃が凄く鼻口周りは真っ黒になりました
バイカーがするようなスカーフや密着するマスクがあると写真撮影もスムーズにできる⁈
それでもウエットティッシュもあった方がいいです
雨だと降り込んできて寒かったと書いてる方がいて、私たちの時もにわか雨がありましたが確かに濡れます
天気が悪そうなら100均などのポンチョやレインコートを持って行った方がいいかと

I loved it, if you don't mind getting alittle dirty and riding an ATV around a beautiful farm along the ocean! I could have stayed there all day playing on those ATVs honestly, our guide Micky was laid back and cool, it was good vibes all around. The only thing I wished was to be able to do some donuts in the mud highly recommend!

Skydiving was my husband's dream. As someone who is not fond of heights, I initially had no intention of participating. However, I thought that if I didn't jump with my husband, I probably would never jump alone in my life, so after much hesitation, I signed up. If you have even a slight interest, I highly recommend giving it a try.

I chose a package that included video and photos, but the content varies depending on the cameraman. My husband's cameraman and instructor were fantastic, and the photos and videos turned out really well.

It's better to have some English skills, but you can manage with gestures (my husband can speak a little, but my level is below that of a modern elementary school student). They don't provide insurance, so I made sure to get skydiving insurance before leaving Japan, just in case.

夫の夢だったスカイダイビング
高いところが苦手な私は当初参加するつもりは全くありませんでした
でも夫と一緒に飛ばなければ多分一生ひとりでは飛ばないな、と思い散々迷った結果、申し込みました
少しでも興味があるなら是非飛んでみて下さい
ビデオ、写真付きプランにしましたが
ついてくれるカメラマンにより内容が異なり、夫のカメラマン、インストラクターの方が素晴らしく、写真、ビデオの内容も大変良かったです

英語は出来た方が良いですが、ジェスチャーでなんとかなります（夫は多少話せますが私は今時の小学生以下レベルです）
保険は取り扱いないので、念の為日本出国前にスカイダイビング対応の保険をかけていきました
