All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

This ATV tour at Kualoa Ranch was an absolute highlight - scenery incredible and riding through it on an ATV made the experience even more exciting.

The horse is well-trained, so you can ride it right away even if it's your first time. At first, we go along a path in the woods, but after a while, we come out into an open grassland. I guess this is the filming location for the movie. Once you get here, the scenery is fantastic. The horse is very gentle, so I was a bit nervous at first, but I quickly got used to it and had a wonderful experience. The hamburger was delicious.

人馴れした馬なので、初めてでもすぐに乗れます。
最初は林の中の道を進みますが、しばらくすると開けた草原に出ます。
ここが映画のロケ地ってことでしょうか。
ここまで来れば景色も最高になります。
とてもおとなしい馬なので、最初は少し緊張しますがすぐに慣れて、とても良い体験ができました。
ハンバーガーは美味しかったです。

It was truly amazing! If you're hesitating, definitely give it a try. It's not at a height that would be scary even for those with a fear of heights, so I can't really say. You don't need to understand English to enjoy it! The weather was great on the day, and I was only worried about the motion sickness mentioned in the reviews, but I had no symptoms at all. It was just pure fun!

本当に最高でした！
迷われている方、是非飛んでみて下さい。

当日は天気も良く、口コミにある酔いだけが心配でしたが、症状も全く無く、ただただ楽しかったの一言でした。

I had seen all the Jurassic World movies, so the atmosphere and scenes from the films came back to life, and I was really excited.

ジェラシックワールドの映画すべて見てたので、その世界観&映画のシ-ンがよみがえってとてもワクワクしました。

I was able to swim through the vast sky, and the contrast with the blue ocean was amazing. The instructors were all cheerful and had great energy!

大空を空中遊泳ができ、青い海のコントラストも最高でした。インストラクターも皆さん陽気でノリもサイコー

I participated in a tour that required meeting at the location. The check-in at the ticket center went smoothly, but the meeting place was not the visitor center as indicated on the Veltra website and the voucher. Specifically, there was a separate reception for the buggies, and we had to gather there. Once we gathered, the departure time for the buggies was set, and we received a tour briefing (in English) along with the rental of helmets and goggles. We arrived at the location by rental car and planned to have lunch at the visitor center before joining the tour, but we were unaware of these arrangements, so we had to rush through lunch to participate. While I was satisfied with the content of the tour, I felt that Veltra's guidance was unhelpful. There are other tours like horseback riding, so there might be some confusion about the meeting places, but I believe Veltra should take responsibility for confirming that the information is accurate.

現地集合のツアーで参加しました
チケットセンターでチェックインまではスムーズにできましたが、その後の集合場所はベルトラのHPとバウチャーの案内にあったビジターセンターではありませんでした。具体的には、チケットセンターとは別にバギーの受付があり、そこに集合するとバギーの出発組と時間が決まり、その時間までにツアーの説明（英語）やヘルメット・ゴーグルの貸出を受けます。私たちはレンタカーで現地到着後、ビジターセンターで昼食を済ませてからツアーに参加しようと考えていましたが、それらの段取りが分からなかったので慌ただしく昼食を済ませて参加せざるを得ませんでした。ツアーの内容には満足ですが、ベルトラの案内は不親切だと思いました。乗馬など他のツアーもあるので集合場所を混同しているかもしれませんが、案内が合っているかの確認はベルトラが責任を持って行うべきだと思います。

I had a wonderful time on my ride along. I felt like I had a personal tour guide. Sheldon was not only knowledgeable but really funny too. He told us on myths and legends of the island while teaching us various aspects of Hawaiian culture and language. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

This was my first time climbing Diamond Head, and I wasn't sure about the procedures for the climb or how to get there, so I decided to book a shuttle plan. I signed up for a pickup at 6:20, but the day before, I received a notification that the time had changed to 7:20. I was able to confirm this change through a phone call and email from the hotel front desk, so I wasn't worried.

On the day of the pickup at 7:20, I arrived early and waited, and the car arrived right on time. The driver was a very pleasant man, and I was able to depart without any anxiety, making the climb enjoyable. There were children and elderly people climbing as well, but it was surprisingly tough. I think it's best to wear proper hiking shoes and clothing. (The night before, there had been rain and strong winds, but it was sunny in the morning. However, there were some muddy spots, so caution is needed during the rainy season.)

After finishing the climb and returning to the car, I was given a cold bottle of water. When I asked the driver, "We would like to stop by a nearby café on the way back, is it better to part ways here?" he immediately seemed to understand and asked for the name of the café, saying, "You can go ahead and drop you off there." Since it was a café near Diamond Head, I was dropped off there instead of at the hotel. I really appreciated the kindness and felt safe participating in this experience. Thank you very much. (On the way back from the café, I enjoyed a pleasant walk back to my hotel in Waikiki.)

ダイヤモンドヘッドに登るのは初めてで、登るための手続きもよくわからないし、現地に行くのにどうするか…と考えるのも面倒だったので送迎プランを申し込みました。6:20お迎えのプランで申し込みましたが、前日になって時間変更の連絡があり、7:20に変更に。その連絡はホテルのフロントからの電話とメールで確認ができたので不安はありませんでした。
当日は7:20お迎えだったので早めに待機しておりましたが、時間ぴったりに車が到着しました。とても感じのいい男性ドライバーさんで、不安なく出発→登山も楽しくできました。子供や年配の方も登っていますが、意外ときついです。きちんと登山しやすい靴・服装でいくといいと思います。（前日の夜に雨と強風が吹いており、当日朝は晴れておりました。ですが、少し足元がぬかるんでいるところがあったので、雨季は注意が必要です。）
登山を終えて車に戻ると、冷たいお水（ペットボトル）を渡してくださいました。そして、「私たちは帰りに近くのカフェに寄りたいので、ここで解散したほうがいいですか？」とドライバーさんに聞くと、すぐにそのカフェのことがわかったようでそのカフェの名前を言って聞いてくださり、「乗って行っていいよ」と言ってくださいました。ダイヤモンドヘッド近くのカフェなので、ホテルではなくカフェ近くで降ろしていただきました。とても親切で、安心して参加させていただけたことに感謝しております。ありがとうございました。（カフェの帰りはお散歩がてらワイキキのホテルまで歩いて帰りましたが気持ちよかったです。）

You can see stunning views of the sea and mountains. Riding a horse can be challenging until you get used to it, but this breathtaking scenery is something you can't see anywhere else. The horses are smart, and the female staff were kind as well. It's okay if your English isn't perfect.

海と山の絶景が見れます。馬に乗るので慣れるまで大変だけど、この絶景はここじゃなと見れないかな。馬はお利口です。スタッフの女性も優しかったですよ。英語はそこそこでも大丈夫で

Accessing the location was a bit challenging from Waikiki by rental car, but the horseback riding time was very long, and I was satisfied! The scenery was magnificent and beautiful. The horses were very smart, and the staff was kind. At the end, you can feed the horses a little. I gave a tip at that time!

アクセスはワイキキからはレンタカーで少し大変でしたが、乗馬時間はとても長い時間あるし、満足出来ました！とにかく景色が雄大で美しいです。馬たちはとても賢く、スタッフも親切でした。最後に馬に餌を少しあげられます。その時にチップを渡しました！

We purchased two tickets, after reaching were asked to pay for some mandatory fees for the face mask for 8$ each. So just be aware of that extra cost. Also, I would not recommend purchasing Pictures options for 40$ as it’s waste of money and they don’t take that good images. You will have ample opportunity to take your own pictures , so no need to waste those 49$ for poor quality images.

The driver was a cheerful person. It was fun! On the day I participated, most of the attendees were Japanese. They provided timely pick-up and drop-off services.

ドライバーさんが陽気な方でした。楽しかったです！
私が参加した日は日本人の方がほとんどでした。時間通りに送迎をしてくれました。

The morning was quite challenging. I didn't read the voucher carefully, and the meeting place was not at the hotel where I was staying, but about a 7-minute walk away.

Since I arrived 15 minutes early, I was able to make it to the correct meeting place on time. The driver didn't understand any Japanese, but he was a really nice person.

The activity was amazing. The explanations and registration before it started were a bit difficult, but the view afterward was fantastic. The explanations were in English, so I didn't understand most of it, but just watching the guide's way of speaking and expressions was enjoyable.

When it rains, the dust doesn't rise, but you get quite wet, so I think it's a good idea to buy a poncho on-site.

It was my first time at Diamond Head, and the guide explained the best way to get there using a Japanese pamphlet, which was very easy to understand. Although the explanation was in English, it was no problem since they explained it multiple times. They also give you mineral water on the way back (laughs).

初めてのダイアモンドヘッドでしたが、ガイドさんが車内と着いてから日本語パンフレットで
一番良い行き方を説明してくれて、分かりやすかったです。英語の説明ですが、何度も説明してくれるので問題ありません。ミネラルウオーターは帰りにくれます（笑）

My husband forgot his driver's license, so I ended up driving the buggy! It was my first time driving, so it was quite challenging, especially since there were some steep roads along the way. Because of the danger, I had an instructor ride along with me halfway through. After that, I relaxed and enjoyed the sightseeing. Driving shouldn't be taken lightly, but if you want to drive, make sure you don't forget your driver's license.

When I said I was a beginner, the crew kindly taught me. Maybe it was because I was sleep-deprived from the night before, but I started to feel unwell. The captain gave me ginger candy, and after I sucked on it, I felt better. I didn't catch any fish, but I enjoyed the beautiful scenery. There was also a small child, around elementary school age, who participated and had a great time.

初心者だと言ったらクルーが丁寧に教えてくれました。前日の寝不足が響いたのか、気分が悪くなってしまいました。キャプテンがジンジャーの飴をくれました。それをなめたら、回復。釣れなかったけどいい景色を堪能しました。小学校低学年くらいの小さな子も参加していてたのしんでいました。

The pickup from the hotel was very smooth. Climbing to the summit with a light in hand in the pitch dark and watching the sunrise made me feel refreshed. I've visited Hawaii many times, but I realized there are still places I haven't been to, and it felt like I rediscovered the charm of Hawaii. I encountered sea turtles at various beaches, and visiting the macadamia nut farm and coffee plantation was enjoyable as well. Above all, our guide Jonathan's chatter made it a truly delightful tour. I highly recommend it.

ホテル前からのピックアップはとてもスムーズでした。真っ暗な中ライトを片手に山頂まで登って朝日が上がるのを見られて清々しい気分になりました。
何回もハワイを訪れていますが、行っていない場所がまだまだあったんだなーとハワイの魅力を再発見した気分です。
あちこちの海岸でホヌに出会ってマカダミアナッツファームもコーヒー農園も楽しかったです。何よりガイドのジョナサンのお喋りがとても楽しい気分にさせてくれた最高のツアーでした。おすすめです。

The driver arrived at the pickup location on time and was very kind to us, even though we are Japanese! If you're planning to climb Diamond Head, I definitely recommend going early in the morning. We were able to see a beautiful sunrise! ♪

運転手さんは時間通りに送迎場所に来てくださり、日本人の私たちにも優しく接してくださいました！
ダイヤモンドヘッドに登るなら絶対早朝をおすすめします。
とても綺麗なサンライズを見ることができました♪

The shuttle service was convenient and made things easy. It was reassuring to have Japanese staff on-site.

Unfortunately, the air conditioning on the bus going there was broken, and I thought everyone might suffer from heatstroke, so that was a disappointment.

The tour wasn't as dirty as I had heard from rumors! (The weather was nice, which helped.)

I went in sweatpants, but I thought maybe it wasn't necessary to worry about that? However, it might just be luck, so I can't say for sure!

Anyway, I highly recommend it. It's not a problem even for those who are inexperienced drivers!

送迎もあり、楽ちんでした。
日本語のスタッフさんも現地にいるので安心でした。

行きのバスの空調が壊れていて、みんな熱中症になるかと思うくらいでしたので、そこだけ残念でした。

ツアーは、噂で聞いていたほどは汚れませんでした！(お天気だったこともあり。)

ジャージで行きましたがそこまで気にしなくても良かったかも？と思いましたが、これは運かもしれないのでわかりません！

とにかくオススメです。ペーパードライバーでも問題ないです！

Anyone can climb it. However, to climb Diamond Head, prior application is required, so it might be easier to join a tour like this. If you can apply in advance by yourself, it would be cheaper to get to the trailhead by bus or Uber.

誰でも登れます。但し、ダイヤモンドヘッドを登るには、事前申請が必要なので、このようなツアーで参加するのが楽かも知れません。自分自身で事前申請ができるのであれば、登山口まで、バスやウーバーで行った方が安いでしょう。

I am very satisfied. It started to rain halfway through, but I had prepared rain gear. I can't speak English, but I was able to understand somewhat using a translation app. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese on site, and they were very kind and helpful. 😊

とても満足してます。
途中から雨が降り出しましたが、雨具を用意しました。英語は出来ませんが翻訳アプリを使って何となく理解できました。
現地にも日本語を話せるスタッフの方もおられとても親切に対応して頂きました😊

It was a very fulfilling experience to ride horses with my family while exploring the magnificent nature. It was a safe experience, even my daughter, who is in the first year of middle school, could ride alone. I highly recommend it.

家族で乗馬しながら、雄大な自然の中を散策できてとても充実した時間でした。
中学1年生の娘でも1人で乗馬できるくらい安全な体験で、とてもお薦めです。

I was disappointed that I couldn't understand the English and the explanations, but the scenery was amazing, and I was satisfied with the long buggy ride.

英語が聞き取れず、説明がわからなかったのは残念だけど、景色は最高で、バギー乗車時間が長くて満足でした。

I chose a plan without transportation, and I think that was a good decision. With transportation included, I wouldn't be able to go and return at my own timing, so I can make time to go somewhere else right after the tour ends. Since everything—clothes and face—gets covered in dust, I think having a change of clothes would be a good idea.

送迎なしのプランにしたが、それで良かったと思っている。
送迎付きだと自分のタイミングで行ったり、帰ったりできないので、ツアー終了後すぐに別のところに行く時間が作れる。
服、顔全てが砂埃まみれになるので着替えがあるといいと思う。

I applied with my husband and grandchild. The pickup was about 10 minutes late. I was moved by the wonderful experience and returned home feeling touched. January is the rainy season, and it rained a lot, but it seems we were able to see the sunrise, which was great! It was a bit pricey, but the transportation service was the right choice. 👍

主人と孫と申し込み。ピックアップは10分ほど遅れました。
良い体験ができたと感動して帰ってしました。
1月は雨季で雨ばかりだったけど日の出も見れたらしく良かった!
少し割高になるけど、送迎で正解👍

I heard that there is the longest zip line on Oahu, so I participated with my son, who loves zip lining. It seems to be quite popular, and we couldn't get a reservation for the time we initially requested, so we ended up joining the tour first thing in the morning.

When we left Waikiki in the morning, it wasn't raining, but by the time we arrived at our destination, it was pouring. We did the zip line in that downpour, which was more than just a natural shower, but I think in Japan, they would have canceled the activity due to the weather, so in a way, it was a good experience. I thought it would have been amazing if the weather had been nice. Also, according to our guide, it tends to rain a lot during this season, so I think having something like a mountain parka would provide peace of mind.

オアフ島で1番長いジップラインがあると聞いて、ジップラインが大好きな息子と参加させて頂きました。人気が高い様で、最初お願いした時間では予約が取れず、結局、朝一番でのツアー参加になりました。
朝ワイキキを出る際には雨は降っていませんでしたが、目的地に着く頃には土砂降りでした。その中でジップラインをしましたが、天然のシャワーどころではありませんでしたが、日本だったら中止の天候だったと思いますので、ある意味良い経験が出来たと思います。天気が良かったら最高だったろうな…と思いました。また、ガイドの話ではこの時期は雨が多いそうですので、マウンテンパーカーの様な物があると安心だと思います。

Only two people were able to drive the buggy, but we had a lot of fun driving through various routes! It was exciting to see the locations where Jurassic Park was filmed.

バギーの運転は2名しかできませんでしたが、いろいろなルートを走りとても楽しかったです！
ジュラシックパークの撮影地でもあるところを見ることができワクワクしました。

It was more fulfilling than I expected. There were no problems for beginners. Even my family members who have experience in horseback riding enjoyed the thrill.

思ったよりも充実した内容でした。
初心者でも問題無かったです。
乗馬経験者の家族もスリルがあったと喜んでいました。

I applied to participate on-site, but I didn't realize the distance, and it took quite a while to get there by taxi. The horse riding itself was a lot of fun, and there were even sharks on the beach, which made it quite exciting.

現地参加で応募しましたが、距離感分かっておらず現地到着までにタクシーで相当かかりました。馬自体はとても楽しく、浜辺にサメがいたりして結構もりあがりました。

This was my second visit to Kualoa Ranch. This time, I chose the zipline experience, which was different from my last visit. On the way to the starting point for the zipline, I was able to take in the vast scenery of Kualoa Ranch, and it truly felt like Kualoa at its best! I got to experience seven different ziplines, and it was exhilarating! The staff only provided explanations in English, so there were some conversations I couldn't fully understand, but that added to the fun and became a memorable part of my trip. Kualoa Ranch is definitely the best!

2度目のクアロアランチ。前回と違う体験をと今回はジップラインを選びました。ジップラインでも、スタート地点に向かう道中、広大なクアロアランチを見渡すことが出来、やっぱりクアロア最後〜！でした。ジップラインは7本も体験でき、爽快でした！スタッフの説明が英語のみのため、聞き取れない会話もありましたが、そこも笑いを誘うなど旅先の想い出の１つとなりました。やっぱりクアロアランチ、最高です！
