All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I encountered heavy rain. I was able to buy a poncho at the shop, but the parts that weren't covered got soaked and cold (as a result, I ended up buying clothes at the shop. The air conditioning on the bus to and from was also cold). So, I thought it would be necessary to prepare for that (like bringing a change of clothes, etc.).

Driving the buggy and being surrounded by vast nature was very refreshing and enjoyable! I thought it would be absolutely amazing on a sunny day. Next time, I will come on a sunny day!

大雨の日に当たってしまいました。
売店でポンチョを購入できましたが、それで守られてない部分はビショビショになり寒かったです(結果的に売店で服を購入しました。行き帰りのバスの冷房も寒いです)。
なので、その対策(着替え用意etc)をする必要があると思いました。

バギーでの運転と広大な自然は、開放感があってとても楽しかったです！
晴れの日だったら文句なく最高なんだろうな、と思いました。
今度は晴れの日に来ます！

It was a 2-hour plan, but the pickup in Waikiki was at 8:15, and we returned to Waikiki at 16:30. It turned into a full-day plan. However, I was able to enjoy Kualoa Ranch thoroughly.

Even without the Secret Beach tour, you can easily walk to a nearby beach (more for viewing than swimming). For lunch, I brought a sandwich, but hamburgers and other items are available for purchase. Around 13:00, I craved some fries and stood in line, but even at that time, there was still a wait, and those who ordered hamburgers had to wait 20 minutes.

For horseback riding, you cannot wear a strap around your neck. All belongings except for water, a smartphone, and a camera must be placed in a locker that costs $5 for unlimited access. The locker is large enough for two backpacks.

*If you're worried about dropping your smartphone while on the horse, it might be best to leave it behind. The ground is full of horse manure. The horse I rode was quite laid-back and kept a considerable distance from the horse in front. I was urged on by those behind me and signaled a lot with my legs, which left my outer thigh muscles sore.

Horses seem to have their own personalities, and it can be challenging with certain horses, but overall, it was enjoyable. It was a calm horse, and it turned out to be a great experience.

2時間のプランでしたが、ワイキキのお迎えが8:15で、帰りにワイキキに着いたのが16:30でした。1日かかるプランになります。
ですが、クアロアランチを十分に楽しめました。
シークレットビーチツアーでなくても、歩いてすぐのビーチにも行けます(泳ぐと言うよりは眺める用)
ランチは、サンドイッチを作って持って行きましたが、ハンバーガーなど売ってます。13時過ぎくらいにポテトが食べたくて並びましたが、その時間でもまだ並んでいて、ハンバーガーなどを頼んだ人たちは20分待ちでした。
乗馬は、首からかけるストラップはつけられません。荷物は、水とスマホ、カメラ以外は全て5ドルで開け閉め自由のロッカーに入れます。ロッカーは2人分のリュックが入る大きさです。
※馬の上からスマホ等落としたら大変なので心配な人はおいていってもいいかもしれません。
地面は馬のふんだらけです。
私が乗った馬は、のんびりな性格の馬で前の馬からかなり距離をとって歩いていました。
後ろの人からもせっつかれて、たくさん足で合図したので足の腿の外側が筋肉痛になりました。
馬にも性格があるようで、そういう馬だと大変ですが、総じて楽しかったです。おとなしい馬で、いい経験になりました。

The attendants were very lively, and we were thrilled by the wonderful scenery and the fun of driving the buggy. My 10-year-old son was also very happy.

There is a Japanese woman on-site, so you don't have to worry if you need assistance.

It was truly a wonderful experience!

(Depending on how you drive, you can get really dirty, but getting dirty is definitely more fun, so make sure to hit the gas near the water! (laughs))

アテンドのお兄さん達もとてもノリがよく、素晴らしい景色と楽しいバギーの運転に大興奮でした。10歳の息子もとても喜んでました。

現地には日本人の女性もいらっしゃるので困っても大丈夫です。

本当に素敵な体験ができました！

（乗り方次第でめちゃくちゃ汚れますが、絶対汚れた方が楽しいので、水辺では思いっきりアクセルを踏んでください！（笑））

Had an amazing day, we had a group of 9 people with ages ranging from 14 to 74 and we had 3 UTVs. Everyone had a great time, we will definitely do it again! Our hosts, Justin and Mack were fantastic, made the whole adventure fun and full of laughs.. highly recommend it to everyone and hopefully they get lucky and get Justin and Mack as their hosts

We had a blast exploring Haleiwa and taking part in this exciting ATV ride. This is a perfect activity for families with children. My entire family had a fantastic time, particularly my children who thoroughly enjoyed the ride. It was something new to us and adventurous. The guides were incredibly helpful given us time to read the rules before provided us with the necessary equipment, including helmets and safety instructions on how to operate the machine. We all had our own ATVs and to be honest, I was a bit nervous at first since I don’t drive a car haha! but I was able to conquer my fear and got the hang of it.

The ultimate off-road adventure! Thanks to the guides for giving us the freedom to drive at our own pace on the three rounds of driving. It was a lot of fun and I loved watching my 11 year old driving on his own! One of the highlights is a quick break where we took a stunning photo opportunity by the gorgeous beach--thanks to the help of our awesome guide who arranged us with our ATVS for the perfect shot.

The stables also have a petting zoo where you can hang out with some furry friends or watch horseback riding lessons in action while you wait for your scheduled adventure time.

The experience left such an impression that my family couldn't stop talking about it! Highly recommended and without a doubt would do it again!

I rented a buggy for two hours and drove around the course, and it was so much fun that my 6-year-old son said he wants to ride again. The guide showed us spots where we could take photos, and we took a lot of pictures. It was a fulfilling experience, and I am very satisfied!

バギーを2時間借りてコースを周りましたが、とっても楽しく６歳の息子もまた乗りたいって言う位楽しかった。写真を撮りたいスポットはガイドさんが案内してくれ写真も沢山撮り、充実できる内容で大満足です！

It was my 9-year-old son's first flight, as he aspires to be a pilot. The staff were all kind, and we had a very enjoyable time. I would like to request this again when my son is a little older!

パイロット志望の9歳の息子の初飛行でした。
スタッフ皆親切で、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
息子がもう少し大きくなってから、またお願いしたいと思います！

This was a last min decision. I am so so glad we took this tour. Had an amazing time. Our guide was Sam and he knew the place inside out. He was truly amazing and had so much knowledge.
There is a 15 min hike too in this Jungle expedition tour and the view from the mountains is spectacular ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was prepared for the rainy season, but I got caught in the rain.
However, it was incredibly fun.
Next time, I want to challenge myself again in the summer and experience the dust as well.

雨期ということで覚悟はしていたが雨に降られた。
でも最高に楽しかった。
今度は夏に再度チャレンジして砂埃も体験してみたいです。

I participated in a honeymoon trip. Riding the buggy through the great outdoors was an incredible thrill!

I couldn't understand what the guide was saying in English, but he was very friendly and took great photos at the stops along the way.

新婚旅行で参加しました
バギーに乗って大自然を駆け抜けるのはものすごい爽快感です！

ガイドは英語で何を言っているかわかりませんでしたが、とてもフレンドリーで途中立ち寄る撮影スポットではいい感じに写真を撮ってくれます

I booked a two-hour horseback riding experience. The guide gives instructions in broken Japanese, which is reassuring. Since there are parts of the route that are the same, the two hours might feel a bit long.

２時間の乗馬体験を申し込みました。先導する方は片言ですが日本語で指示しいてくれるので安心です。同じルートを通る場所もあるので、２時間だと少し長く感じるかもしれません。

Despite the heavy rain, we went on the Raptor Tour.

It was great to explore the magnificent grounds without any dust.

I would love to go again on a nice day.

雨が降り頻る中、ラプターツアーを敢行。
砂埃がない分、しっかりと雨をかぶりました。

雄大な敷地内を廻れて最高でした。

天気が良い日にもう一度行きたいです。

I had my first experience piloting a Cessna, and I was able to control the plane for almost the entire time except during takeoff and landing, which was so much fun! The accompanying pilot also took photos and videos, and later sent me the data. It was the best experience!

初めてセスナ体験操縦してみましたが、離陸・着陸時以外ほとんどの時間を操縦することができとても楽しかった！
同乗のパイロットが、写真や動画も撮影してくださり、後でデータを送って頂けました。
最高の体験でした！

The UTV Jurassic adventure was one of the most unique, fun things we’ve ever done. It’s a must do if in Hawaii, don’t let rain deter you, it makes it so much better

I am very satisfied!! It was so much fun that I would like to try ziplining at another location if there is one.

First, it was mentioned that only English-speaking staff would be present, but there was a Japanese staff member at the information desk! After arriving at the site by shuttle bus, they gathered only the Japanese participants and provided an explanation of the facilities (restrooms, lockers, etc.) and handed out the tickets.

There was a waiting area before the zipline check-in, but if you speak up before the time, you will be instructed to sign a consent form (available in Japanese) before waiting. When the time comes, a guide will arrive. The driver provided an explanation about the zipline in English, but it was too fast for me to catch everything. It seems they were explaining various things while we were on the way to the base camp. The scenery alone was enjoyable enough.

After arriving at the base camp, the accompanying staff asked if we were Japanese, and upon answering, they showed us a guidance video in Japanese, so there was no lack of information regarding precautions and how to use the zipline. There were 10 participants (only two of us were Japanese) and 5 staff members. Everyone seemed to understand a little Japanese, so we were able to have enjoyable conversations.

The lockers are free and use a four-digit code. You can bring your mobile phone at your own risk. There were also people with GoPros. There are restrooms available, and you can get water.

After walking up a considerable incline for about 5 minutes from the base camp, you reach the first zipline. For the second and third ziplines, you walk about 20 meters. After finishing the third zipline, there is a water station. The fourth and fifth ziplines require about a 3-minute walk and there is a suspension bridge. I found the suspension bridge scary.

大満足です!!とっても楽しかったので、別の場所でもジップラインがあったらチャレンジしてみたいなと思います。

まず英語スタッフだけと記載がありましたが、インフォメーションに日本人スタッフの方がいらっしゃいました！送迎バスで現地到着後、日本人だけ集めていただき、施設の説明(トイレ、ロッカー等)とチケットの受け渡しをしてくださいました。

ジップラインの受付前には待機場所がありましたが、時間前に声をかけると同意書(日本語あり)にサインをしてから待機するよう指示があります。時間になると迎えがきます。ここで運転手さんから英語でジップラインについて説明があったのですが早くて聞き取れませんでした。車でベースキャンプに向かっている最中も色々なことを説明してくれていたようです。景色だけでも充分たのしめました。

ベースキャンプに到着後、同行するスタッフさんから日本人か聞かれ答えると日本語の案内動画を見せていただいたので注意事項やジップラインのやり方については不足はなかったです。
参加者は10人(日本人は自分たち2人のみ)スタッフは5人。みなさん少しずつ日本語が分かるようで楽しく会話できました。

ロッカーは無料で4桁の番号式です。
携帯は自己責任で持ち込み可能でした。ゴープロを持ち込んでる方もいらっしゃいました。
トイレもあるし、お水もいただけます。

ベースキャンプから結構な上り坂を5分進むと1本目のジップラインがあります。2本目～3本目も20mほど歩きます。3本目が終わると給水ポイントがあります。4本目～5本目が3分ほど歩くのと吊り橋がありました。私は吊り橋が恐かったです。

Honestly, I'm not fluent in English, but fortunately, on the day I participated, there was a Japanese staff member who helped me by explaining the instructor's instructions in Japanese. After that, I communicated with the instructor using simple English and gestures, and I was able to fly safely.

It was a nerve-wracking experience, and I thought that people who do this job are crazy. But looking back now, coming down over the ocean in Hawaii was an amazing experience, and the sea was incredibly beautiful! I want to experience it again.

In November, it was just the rainy season, and there was rain before the flight, plus we had to wait due to the wind, but thanks to that, I was able to see a rainbow from the Cessna.

正直英語がペラペラではないですが、有り難い事に参加した日は日系のスタッフの方がいて、インストラクターの説明内容を日本語で教えていただいて助けていただきました。その後のインストラクターとは簡単な英語とジェスチャーでやり取りをして、無事に飛行できました。
どきどき恐々の経験で、この仕事をしている人はクレージーだなって思いましたが。今となってはハワイの海の上を降りてくるって最高の経験で、海がめちゃくちゃ綺麗でした！また経験したいって思ってます。
11月はちょうど雨季で飛行前は雨が降っていたり、風の影響で待たされたりはしましたが、そのおかげでセスナから虹が見えました。

The guide only spoke English, but they were very kind and spoke to me in broken Japanese. They were considerate of safety, and I had a great time.

ガイドが英語のみでしたが。とても親切でカタコトの日本語で話しかけてくれたり。
安全に配慮されていてとても楽しかったです

You can see both the sea and the mountains at the same time, and the breeze from the buggy made for a refreshing drive. The steep slopes were thrilling, but the buggy was stable, so I felt safe riding it. Two hours was longer than I expected, and I took turns driving with my friends, but I got tired and dozed off in the back seat during the second half.

It was good that the weather was clear, but there was a lot of dust, and my white T-shirt got dirty. I regretted not checking the reviews more carefully before going.

海と山が同時に見えて、
バギーの風も爽快なドライブした。
急な坂道もスリルあるけど、バギーが安定していて、安心して乗れました。
２時間は思ってたより長く、友達と交代して運転しましたが、疲れて後半は後部座席でウトウトzZZ

晴天でまだ良かったですが、砂ぼこりがかかり、
白いTシャツは汚れてしまい、レビューをよく見て行けば良かったと後悔。

My daughter (6 years old) was super excited to ride a four-wheeler for the first time. We were caught in an unexpected downpour halfway through, but the thrill of splashing through the puddles was amazing, making it a unique experience. She also said she had a great time and was very satisfied!

初めて乗る四輪バギーに大興奮の娘（6歳）。
途中から想定外の大雨に見舞われましたが、それはそれで水溜まりを跳ね上げる迫力がすごくて、なかなか出来ない体験になりました。
娘も、楽しかったー！！と大満足でした。

The path to Manoa Falls had a slope, but our guide Anoi took breaks at just the right times, and at the photo spots, he helped us take artistic pictures, making it a very satisfying tour. I had a great time. The sandwich we had at Tantalus was also delicious, and I think it was a very good value tour. I would like to participate in a different activity next time. However, I gave it 4 stars because the bracelet I bought from the tour company broke the next day. I was very disappointed because I liked the design.

マノアの滝に向かう道は勾配があったけど、ガイドのアノイさんが適度に休憩してくれて、フォトスポットでは芸術的な写真を撮ってくれて大満足のツアーでした。とても楽しめました。またタンタラスで食べたサンドイッチも美味しくてとてもお得なツアーだと思います。次回はこちらの違うアクティビティに参加したいと思いました。
ただ、ツアー前にツアー会社で買ったブレスレットが翌日壊れてしまったので⭐︎4つにしました。気に入ったデザインだったのでとても残念です。

The weather was wonderful, and it was a horseback riding experience while looking at the beautiful cobalt blue sea. I'm glad I was able to spend such a lovely time. I think it would have been even better if I had a little more time in Haleiwa Town.

お天気に恵まれ、美しいコバルトブルーの海を見ながらの乗馬体験でしたとてもステキな時間を過ごす事が出来て良かったです。ハレイワタウンでの時間がもう少しあれば尚、良かったと思います。

It was my family's first time visiting Oahu Hawaii AND our first time riding horseback. And what a way to lose our horseback riding virginity! The Ranch was amazing, our guides were amazing and there's even a little petting Zoo that you can feed the goats while you wait for your tour to commence. Highly recommended!

It was my family's first trip to Oahu, Hawaii. This was recommended to us by a friend. And it most certainly didn't disappoint. The drive there was amazing, the actual Ranch is incredible & our tour guides were so much fun and a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommended. You can also do horse back riding, cycling and a few other activities, but the self drive ATV has to be the most fun!

The tour description stated that it would be in English only, but upon arrival, there was a complete explanation of Kualoa in Japanese. I was very grateful for that. I also received help when the locker wasn't working properly. The activities were great. The instructors were very friendly. I came to love horseback riding.

ツアーの説明では、英語のみとなっていたが、到着後にクアロアの全体説明が日本語であった。とてもありがたかった。ロッカーがうまく作動しない時も助けてもらえた。アクティビティはさいかでした。インストラクターはとてもフレンドリーでした。乗馬が好きになりました。

This farm was awesome, and so close to Haleiwa to jump over after. Get a car and come up here, it is so fun!!

I was very satisfied as I got to see the ocean, the mountains, and plenty of movie filming locations!!! The horses were very smart, and I felt safe riding them☺︎ I want to participate again!!

海も、山も、映画のロケ地も、たっぷり見られて大満足でした！！！馬も非常に賢くて、安心して乗馬することもできました☺︎また参加したいです！！

The female instructor was friendly and supportive, making the tour very enjoyable. At several points, we were able to take photos, and we took breaks to avoid getting tired, which was reassuring. By pedaling and moving around myself, I was able to truly appreciate the vastness of Kualoa. Along the way, we also visited a tunnel where panels introduced the movies filmed at Kualoa. We even took videos using a jeep that resembled something out of Jurassic Park, which became a wonderful memory. I participated in an ATV tour in the past, and I had a great time again this time.

インストラクターの女性が気さくで優しくフォローしてくれたので、とても楽しいツアーになりました。いくつかのポイントで写真を撮って頂いたり､疲れない様に休憩も取りながら走るので安心です。自分で漕いで動き回ったのでクアロアの広さを改めて実感できました。途中、クアロアで撮影が行われた映画ごとにパネルで紹介されているトンネル？のようなところも見学できました。そこに置いてあるジープを使ってジュラシックパークさながらの動画も撮って頂き、とても思い出になりました。過去にATVツアーに参加しましたが今回もとても楽しめました。

I participated in December. I didn't have high expectations, but horseback riding in the wonderful scenery where you can see both the sea and the mountains was a valuable experience. It was very exciting to ride up the mountain slopes. I was almost a beginner at horseback riding, but I was able to ride for two hours without any issues.

There are various movie filming locations along the course, so I think movie lovers will enjoy it even more.

Although I participated in December, the weather was nice, and it was quite hot for the two hours. I recommend applying sunscreen if you decide to participate. Also, the person accompanying us during the horseback riding was not Japanese, so all the explanations about the filming locations were in English. Since you are on the horse for two hours, if you're not used to it, your butt and thighs might get sore!

12月に参加しました。
あまり期待していませんでしたが、海も山も見える素晴らしい景色の中での乗馬は貴重な体験でした。馬に乗って山の斜面を登っていくのでとてもエキサイティングでした。
乗馬はほぼ初心者でしたが、2時間問題なく乗馬できました。
コースの途中に様々な映画のロケ地があるので、映画好きの方ならなお楽しめると思います。

12月の参加でしたが天気が良く、2時間なのでとても暑かったです。参加される場合は日焼け止めを塗るのをおすすめします。
また、乗馬で付き添ってくださる方は日本人ではないので、ロケ地の説明はすべて英語でした。
それから2時間ずっと馬の上なので慣れてないとお尻や股が痛くなります笑

Three days before the Honolulu Marathon, I was wondering if a two-hour horseback riding course would be too much. However, thanks to the very smart horses that knew the entire route and guided us expertly, I had a great time without feeling tired at all.

For a full two hours, we rode through the forest, enjoyed views of the ocean, and saw all the filming locations from Jurassic Park in the grassy valleys of the mountains.

There was plenty of time before and after, so we were able to do some shopping and enjoy a delicious lunch. It was a lot of food, so sharing between the two of us was more than enough.

Lockers are available for $5 a day, the restrooms are clean, and the air conditioning works perfectly. The staff is very friendly, and there was even a briefing in Japanese beforehand.

ホノルルマラソン3日前に、乗馬2時間コースは無謀かな？と思っていましたが、とてもお利口な馬が全てルートもわかっていて、上手に案内してくれたおかげで全く疲れる事なく本当に楽しめました。
2時間たっぷり、森を抜けて、海を眺め、山の谷間の草むらからジェラシックパークのロケ場所まで全て見る事ができましたよ。
前後に充分な時間もあるので、買い物をしたり、lunchも美味しく食べました。多かったのでふたりでシェアで充分でした。
ロッカーは1日5ドル、トイレも清潔でクーラーも効いており申し分ありません。
スタッフも皆親切です。日本語での事前説明もありました。

I found this tour when I was thinking about going to Haleiwa to eat garlic shrimp. I had also wanted to try horseback riding for a while, and riding by the beach sounded wonderful, so I signed up.

Kaz, our Japanese guide, cheerfully talked to us during the drive and introduced the scenery we saw from the car window. The other members of the tour were all nice people, and when they heard it was our honeymoon, they applauded. The horse I rode was a bit mischievous and kept moving forward, which was scary at first, but I got used to it and had a great time. There were two instructors who closely watched over us, which made me feel safe. They also took a lot of pictures along the way!

After returning to Haleiwa, we went to the garlic shrimp food truck recommended by Kaz. Thanks to him making a phone call, we were able to enjoy delicious garlic shrimp without having to wait. This gave us extra time to visit Matsumoto Shave Ice and enjoy some shops. On the way back, instead of just dropping us off at the meeting point, they took us close to our hotel. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

ハレイワに行ってガーリックシュリンプを食べたいなぁと思っていた時に見つけたこちらのツアー。乗馬もしてみたいなと以前から思っており、海辺で乗馬なんて素敵！と思い申し込みました。
日本語ガイドのカズさんは行きの車内で明るくお話して下さり、車窓からの景色の紹介をしてくださいました。ツアーに参加されたメンバーの方も良い方ばかりで、ハネムーンというと拍手して下さいました。乗馬はやんちゃなお馬さんだったのか前へ前へと進んで最初は怖かったのですが、途中から慣れて楽しく過ごせました。インストラクターの方も2人ついてきちんとみて下さるので安心でした。途中写真も沢山撮ってくださいました！ハレイワに戻ってからはカズさんお勧めのガーリックシュリンプのフードトラックへ。電話をかけて下さっていたおかげで美味しいガーリックシュリンプを待たずに食べられました。そのおかげで時間も余裕ができ、マツモトシェイブアイスにも行け、雑貨屋さんなども楽しめました。帰りは集合場所でなく、ホテルの近くまでそれぞれ送ってくださいました。素敵な思い出となりました。ありがとうございました！
