Oahu
the ATV tour through Jurassic Valley offered stunning views of the mountains and coastline
The hike itself is a quick 1.6 miles round trip and felt nice and quick!
The ziplines were exciting and felt safe thanks to the attentive guides. Flying over the lush Jurassic Valley with views of the mountains and ocean was incredible
Moderate climbs with the spectacular views from the summit, sweeping vistas of Waikiki and the Pacific.
The trail is beautiful and lush, with tropical scenery at every turn. A simple, enjoyable rainforest escape.
This shuttle made visiting Manoa Falls easy. Pick-up in Waikiki was on time, and the ride was comfortable.
The UTV mapped trails through Jurassic Valley were stunning, with incredible views of the mountains and coastline and lots of fun movie add ins throughout
The early start was absolutely worth it. The shuttle was on time, the guide was friendly, and we reached the trail before the crowds.
With an instructor, I boarded a Cessna and went diving! The view was just like looking out of the small airplane window, above the clouds. One by one, we took off, and before I knew it, it was my turn! I felt no sense of reality about diving because we were so high up, and then suddenly, we jumped. We dove straight down, spreading our arms and legs into the diving position. Even while descending rapidly, I had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery. After a while, the parachute opened, and we descended gently. I savored the views over the mountains and the ocean. It's something I wouldn't do in Japan, but I found the courage to dive because it was Hawaii. I was filled with anxiety right up until the moment, but I'm glad I did it.
インストラクターとペアで、セスナに乗り込みダイビング!景色は飛行機の小窓からみる景色と同じで雲の上。次々と飛び立ちあっという間に自分の出番!高すぎてこれからダイビングをする実感がないまま一瞬で飛びました。一気に急降下し、手と足を広げてダイビングのあの形に。急降下してても景色を見る余裕は全然ありました。しばらくするとパラシュートが開き、緩やかに下降。山の上、海の上を堪能。日本ではやらないですが、ハワイだからこそやる勇気が出たダイビング。直前まで不安でいっぱいでしたが、やってよかったです。
If you have weak semicircular canals, you might feel dizzy afterward.

The staff were the best members, not only beautiful but also very friendly and considerate!
The sunset was beautiful, and they took plenty of time for horseback riding! It was the best moment!
最高のメンバーで、スタッフの人も、美男美女だけでなく、とてもノリのいい気遣いのできる方たちばかりでした!
夕日も綺麗で、乗馬時間もとても、たっぷり撮ってくれました!
最高のひとときでした!
I was worried after reading the low reviews, but I had a great time. The bus had bad reviews, but the driver was a cheerful guy. We took the bus and checked in upon arrival. The check-in was done on an iPad, but everything was in English, so I used a translation app to input my information. As long as you do the final check and sign properly, it seems like the rest can be done casually. If you accidentally press the home button, you have to start over, so I just kept pressing next.
After that, I received a paper to give to the instructor and waited. During this time, they mentioned a fuel fee of $15 per person and asked if I wanted to take photos or videos. I declined. When my instructor arrived, I received an explanation, but I didn't understand much. Luckily, there was a Japanese staff member who helped translate. The instructions included lifting my chin a bit, holding the harness, raising my legs and arching my back when we jumped, and spreading my arms wide when they tapped my shoulders as a signal to indicate I was ready. For landing, they explained not to extend my legs but to keep them lifted.
Then we waited for the helicopter, and they tried to sell us photos and videos again during that time. They approached me three times, but I declined each time.
Finally, it was time to jump! It was high, and I felt a bit scared, but as long as I screamed while jumping, I was fine. After the parachute opened, I felt really nauseous (I have a weak vestibular system and can't ride attractions like the Harry Potter ride at Universal Studios Japan).
Afterward, I received a certificate of completion and an envelope. I put a tip (I decided on $20) in the envelope and placed it in a clear box to finish up.
Regarding tips for the bus ride back, I noticed some people didn’t give any, but as mentioned in the reviews, when I gave $10, they were very grateful, so I recommend giving a tip.
Since I have a very weak vestibular system, I probably won’t do this again, but I'm glad I chose this place. There are additional costs for sales and payments, but aside from that, everything was good, so I’d rate it 4 stars.
低評価の口コミ見て心配になってましたがとても楽しめました。
バスの口コミが悪いですが陽気なおじさんでした。バスで向かい、到着後受付をします、iPadで受付ですが全部英語です、翻訳機能使いながら入力していきます、最後のチェックとサインだけしっかりしてあれば他は適当でも大丈夫そう。間違えてホームボタンとか押すと初めからなのでずっとネクスト押し続ける。
それからインストラクターに渡す紙もらって待機になります、その際に燃料費??が1人15$かかるのと標高高くしませんか?写真動画とりませんか?の営業かけてきます。わたしは断りました。自分のインストラクターがきたら説明を受けます,,何言ってるかさっぱりでしたが日本人のスタッフさんいたので通訳してもらいました。少し顎をあげる、ハーネスを握る、飛んだら足をあげてエビゾリになる、肩をぽんぽん叩かれたら両手広げてOKの合図、着地の時は足を伸ばすんじゃなくて浮かしてって感じの説明です。
あとはヘリくるまで待機、その際にも写真動画の営業かけてきます、計3回かけてきましたが全部断りました。
あとは飛ぶだけです!高くて少しチビりそうでしたが奇声上げながら飛べば大丈夫です。パラシュート開いてからはもう気持ち悪くて無理でした(自分は三半規管弱くてUSJのハリーポッターとか乗れません)
終わったら飛んだ証明書と封筒を渡されます、封筒にチップ(10〜30$わたしは20$にしといた)を入れて透明のBOXにいれて終わりです。
帰りのバス降りるさいのチップですが渡してない人もいましたが口コミにある通り10$渡したらめっちゃ感謝してたのであげてください。
自分は三半規管弱すぎるので2度とすることはないですがここを選んでよかったと思います。
営業と、支払い以外のお金かかるのでそこ以外はよかったので⭐︎4って感じです。
If you have weak semicircular canals, be prepared for hell after opening the parachute. Andrew is kind, haha.
三半規管弱い人はパラシュート開いてからから地獄です覚悟してください。
アンドリューが優しいですw
You drive a buggy through nature, navigating bumpy roads. There are areas with elevation changes that make it thrilling and exciting. Even when it rained, the sun quickly came out, allowing us to enjoy the changing weather.
自然の中をバギーで、デコボコ道を走ります。高低差のある所もあって、ハラハラ、ドキドキします。雨が降ってもすぐ晴れて天気の違いも楽しめました。
The rain comes down heavily. You need to be prepared with a change of clothes or something that can get wet. However, it was fun.
雨水はモロにきます。着替えか、濡れてもいい用意が必要。しかし、楽しかった。
This was my first trip abroad and my first time in Hawaii, and I participated alone!
The shuttle from the Honolulu area was easy to identify, as you can see in the photo! The driver was full of humor, and even though I couldn't speak English, I was able to communicate with him.
Upon arrival, we first checked in using a tablet, and then there was a fitting for the specialized equipment and a briefing about diving.
We took a propeller plane up to an altitude of 4000-5000 meters, so I wouldn't recommend wearing short sleeves and shorts if you're sensitive to the cold or not feeling 100%.
We started the dive with a countdown of 3.2.1.Go. We swung our bodies to the left and right during the countdown, and I really liked the speedy countdown, which felt like piston transport! Even if they were asked if they were ready and still said "No," some people were half-forced to say "Yes" and dive anyway.
During the dive, we descended from above the clouds towards the ground, so the unique gravity, wind, and visibility might be challenging for some. I love activities like this, so I wasn't scared or nervous at all, but I recommend trying it at least once for the experience.
It was an incredibly exciting skydiving experience, and I would do it again!
初海外、初ハワイで1人で参加しました!
ホノルルエリアから送迎は、
写真のとおり分かりやすい車両でした!
ドライバーがユーモアに溢れた方で、
英語が話せない私でもコミュニケーションをとれるくらいでした。
現地に到着すると、
まずタブレット端末で受付をし
専用器材のサイズ合わせやダイビングに関するレクチャーなどがあります。
プロペラ機で上空4000-5000mまでいくので、寒がりな方や体調が100点でない場合は
半袖ハーパンなどはおすすめしません。
3.2.1.Goのカウントダウンでダイブを開始します。
左右に大きく体を振りながらカウントダウンをするのですが、
ピストン輸送のごとくかなりスピーディなカウントダウンなので私は好きでしたね笑
準備できたか?と聞かれてまだNoだとしても半強制Yesでダイブしていた方もいました
ダイブ中は雲の上から地表に向かっていくので、
独特の重力、風力、視界のため苦手な方もいそうです。
私はこういうアクティビティが大好きなので怖くもなく緊張もしませんでしたが、
経験のために一度は飛んでみることをおすすめします。
非常にエキサイティングなスカイダイビング、また飛びます!笑
The fishing guy was very helpful, fixed all the issues. Good service, but I wanted more fish.
Thank you for taking the time to give us this feedback! Great having you aboard and we all love more fish! Hope to see you again soon tight lines until next time! Mahalo!
This was my first experience with skydiving, and I was truly moved by the breathtaking 360-degree views of the ocean, mountains, and sky on the North Shore. My father, who is in his late 60s, was initially hesitant to participate, but afterward he smiled and said, "It was amazing," which made me really happy. I'm glad we opted for the video footage as well; my mother and wife, who didn't participate, were very pleased with it.
今回がスカイダイビング初体験でしたが、ノースショアの海、山、空が織りなす360度最高の景色に、心から感動しました。
60代後半の父も初めは参加を迷っていましたが、終わった後は「最高だった」と笑顔で、私も嬉しくなりました。
オプションのビデオ映像も付けて良かったです。参加しなかった母と妻がとても喜んでくれました。
The air is cold, so wear long sleeves and long pants. It might have been a good idea to take motion sickness medication since I got dizzy from the parachute turns.
上空は寒いので長袖・長ズボンで。パラシュート旋回で酔うため、酔い止めを飲んでいくと良かったかも
The instructor was cheerful and kept us entertained throughout the experience! I forgot about my nerves and fears right up until the moment we jumped. The time spent in the air flew by, but it gave me emotions and excitement that I had never felt in my life before. It was my first skydiving experience that made me want to jump again in other regions.
インストラクターの方が陽気で終始楽しませてくれる方でした!
飛ぶ直前まで、緊張や恐怖は忘れていました。
飛んでいる時間はあっという間でしたが、これまでの人生にない感動と興奮を与えてくれました。
他の地域でもまた飛びたいと思わせてくれる初めてのスカイダイビング体験でした。
If you're unsure, I definitely recommend experiencing this! During check-in, you need to enter your weight into a tablet, but it must be in pounds (lbs), so if you don't have internet access, please b
迷っている方は絶対に経験されることをおすすめします!
チェックインの際、自身の体重をタブレットに入力するのですが、lbs単位で入力が必要なので、ネット環境がない方は事前の把握をお気をつけください。
Driving the buggy myself was so much fun! Since there were no other Japanese people besides our couple, I was a bit worried about my English, but we had an instructor for every four groups, and there was also a video explanation in Japanese, so I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind.
自分で運転するバギーは楽しすぎました!
私たちカップル以外に日本人がいなかったため、英語に不安がありましたが、4組に1人のインストラクターがつき、日本語の説明動画もあったので安心してツアーに参加できました。
Unfortunately, the weather was not great, but the buggy didn't get wet at all, so it wasn't a problem. However, it can get dirty from the mud, so it's best to be careful with your shoes and clothes.
あいにくのお天気でしたが、バギーはほとんど濡れないので問題ありませんでした。でも泥で汚れますので靴、洋服は気を付けた方が良いです。
My five year old granddaughter had a blast catching the most fish. The captain and mate took her under their thumb and gave her a first lesson she’ll never forget. Very awesome.
For movie fans who want to experience a different side of Hawaii, I recommend this. I think you'll enjoy it even more if you understand English.
映画のファン、いつもと違うハワイを味わいたい方にはおすすめです。
英語がわかれば更に楽しめると思います。
Went early had breakfast - super easy check-in- very knowledgeable and helpful employees- great picture takers as well 😊 . Wish we had signed up for more. Well worth it. Enjoy!!
Everything went smoothly-tour operator picked us up on time at designated spot and returned us at appropriate time, and gave us a narrative talk about the area enroute to Diamond Head. The destination was exceptional -with amazing views of the inland and coastline. One tip- it appears that the later you go in the day the busier the trail gets. We left at 8:30 am and the crowds were manageable. If you're in Honolulu-definitely check this beauty out-and plan to get a good cardiovascular workout in climbing to the top!
It's an early morning plan, but it's very helpful that they come to pick you up in front of the hotel. The sunrise from Diamond Head was amazing! They also stop by Leonard's, which I highly recommend because the malasadas are incredibly delicious. All the beaches were beautiful and very soothing. Our guide, Jonathan, took photos for us as well. He was very attentive, always providing a footrest when getting in and out of the car. The conversation was enjoyable, and I ended up chatting with him like a friend. He mentioned that he handles this plan every day, so I think those who participate in the future can feel reassured.
For lunch, you can choose whatever you like, and I had Giovanni's garlic shrimp, which was absolutely delicious. I was very satisfied with the nuts and coffee I was able to buy as souvenirs. They also drop you off back at the hotel. This plan does not include tips, so I gave him a tip at the end before saying goodbye.
This time, I participated with my child. It was a fun day with efficient sightseeing. Thank you very much! Mahalo!
朝早いプランですが、ホテル前にお迎えにきてくれるのでとても助かります
ダイヤモンドヘッドからのサンライズは最高でした♪レナーズにも寄ってくれます。マラサダとっても美味しいのでオススメです
どのビーチもとてもキレイで癒されました
ガイドのジョナサンが写真も撮ってくれます。
車の乗り降り時は足置き台を毎回出してくれ、とても丁寧でした。
お話も楽しいのでこちらもつい友達のように話してしまいました。毎日このプランを担当していると言っていたので、これから参加される方は安心だとおもいます。
お昼は好きなものを選んでたべれますが、ジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプを食べました。最高に美味しかったです
お土産のナッツもコーヒーも購入できて大満足でした
帰りもホテル前まで送ってもらえます
こちらはチップ込みのプランではないので、最後にチップを渡してお別れしました
今回は親子2人で参加しました。
効率よく観光できて楽しい一日でした
ありがとうございました!
マハロ!
If you're planning to hike Diamond Head, it's a good idea to bring water with you. I believe there are water refill stations before you start the hike, but you can't buy water there, so it's essential
ダイヤモンドヘッドにのぼる方はお水を持っていったほうが良いです
登る前に給水スポットはあったとおもいますが、買うことはできないので、水筒かペットボトルは必ず持参した方が良いです
My family does horseback riding, so I wanted to try it in Hawaii as well! This was my first experience riding, but even someone like me was able to ride for two hours without any trouble. For experienced riders, just walking might not be enough, but the scenery is amazing as you get to ride across vast lands that you wouldn't normally experience! I'm glad I went.
家族が乗馬をやっているのでハワイでも乗りたい!ということで行きました。私は乗馬初体験でしたが、こんな私でもトラブルなく無事2時間乗っていられました。経験者には歩くだけで物足りないかもしれませんが。しかし景色は普段味わえない広大な土地を歩くので最高です!行ってよかったです。
I chose the 2-hour course, but it was quite long without any breaks, so I think the 1-hour course would be sufficient. I had trouble sleeping at night due to jet lag, and since I made a reservation fo
2時間コースを選択しましたが止まることがなくかなり長いので、1時間コースでも十分だと思います。時差ボケで夜あまり眠れず更に朝一番で予約したため、途中で心地よい振動でこっくりしてしまい危なかったです。
It seems it rained in the morning, but when I rode, it was cloudy and neither too hot nor too cold, just perfect! I enjoyed it even more since I had prepared by watching Jurassic Park beforehand. The horses were all very well-behaved; they didn't flinch at all when the buggies passed by or when strong winds blew, and they were well-trained enough to stay calm even when close to each other, so I felt safe riding them! It was a pity that I couldn't catch everything because the English was too fluent, but the local guide, was it Koha? was really good at Japanese and even made jokes, which was entertaining!
朝は雨だったようですが私が乗るときは曇りで暑くもなく寒くもなく、ちょうど良かったです!
ジュラシックパークの予習をしてからいったのでより楽しめました♪
馬はみんなお利口でバギーが近くを走っても強風が吹いても全く動じないし、馬間が近くても怒らないしよくトレーニングされていて安心して乗れました!英語が流暢すぎて聞き取れなかったのは残念でしたが、現地のガイドのコアさん?だったかな?は日本語凄くうまくてジョークも言っていて面白かったです♪
I think it would be more enjoyable if I could fully understand the explanations in English, but since the ride was after watching the Japanese explanation video, I managed just fine with Japanese only
途中の解説が全て英語なのでちゃんと聞き取れるともっと楽しめると思いましたが日本語の説明ビデオを見てからの騎乗なので日本語onlyでもどうにかなります!
あとエアドロ使えなくてもメールで写真貰えました!
The wait time before starting horseback riding was just under two hours, and it was also just under two hours from the end of the ride until the bus departure. Honestly, I got tired of waiting.
What was great was the view of the sea and the scenery leading to the canyon during the ride! You can enjoy the magnificent landscape from the horse's perspective. The horses were well-trained and stable throughout the ride.
乗馬開始迄の待ち時間が2時間弱、乗馬が終わってからバス出発までも2時間弱・・。正直、待ち疲れてしまいました。
良かったのは、乗馬で海が見えてから渓谷迄の景色!馬からの目線で雄大な景観を楽しめます。馬はよく慣らされており、終始安定してました。
The waiting time is long.
Everything is explained in English, but they show a video in Japanese before starting the horseback riding.
待ち時間が長いです。
全て英語での説明ですが、乗馬開始前に日本語のビデオを見せてくれます。
You absolutely must do this when you come to Hawaii! The scenery is so stunning that you might feel like you've stepped into a movie. It's a view you will never forget. The staff are all friendly and it's great. I want to do it again next time.
ハワイに来たら絶対やるべし!
映画の世界に迷い込んだかと思うぐらい圧巻の景色。
一生忘れない景色。
スタッフの方もみんなフレンドリーでGOOD
次もまたやりたいです。
As mentioned in the reviews, it's better for those who easily get motion sickness to take anti-nausea medication.
口コミにあったように酔いやすい人は酔い止め飲んだほうがいいです
It was convenient since it is now reservation-based. I had just enough time to go hiking. The guide was also English-speaking and provided sightseeing information throughout the drive.
現在、予約制になっているので楽でした。
時間も余裕が少しあるくらいで登山できました。ガイドさんも英語でしたが、運転中もずっと観光案内してくれました。
I recommend it for those who want to take it slow in the morning.
朝ゆっくりしたい方にはおすすめです。
Not only was the buggy experience enjoyable, but it also provided a fantastic time that felt extraordinary and reminiscent of a scene from a movie, something you wouldn't see in Japan. There are very few activities in Japan that allow for such a long experience, so I was very satisfied. The guide was friendly and casually took photos for us, engaging in conversation with us, even though our English was not very good. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
バギー体験だけでなく、景色が日本では見られないような非日常的でいてその中で映画のワンシーンを思い出させてくれる最高に楽しい時間でした
日本ではこんなに長く体験できるアクティビティは少ないのでとても満足できました
ガイドさんもフレンドリーで気軽に写真を撮ってくれたりろくに英語もできない私たちにも楽しそうに会話してくださいました
楽しい体験ありがとうございました
I was prepared, but since you have to wear a helmet, I think it would be good to bring something like a cap to wear underneath if you're concerned. Goggles can also be borrowed, but if you're worried,
私は用意して行きましたが、ヘルメットを被らなければならないので、気になる方はキャップなど下に被れるものを用意していくと良いと思います
ゴーグルも貸してもらえますが気になる方はサングラスなどの用意も…
I went skydiving once in Australia and got hooked, so this time I went skydiving in Hawaii! I was able to enjoy the breathtaking views of the beautiful ocean and mountains, fully immersing myself in nature!! I felt like I wanted to jump again right after finishing! Haha! This is definitely the number one activity that everyone should experience at least once in their life!!
オーストラリアで1回スカイダイビングをし、ハマったので今回はハワイでスカイダイビング!
最高に綺麗な海と山を眺めることができて自然を満喫できました!!
終わってすぐまた飛びたい!と思ったほどです笑笑
人生に一回は絶対に体験してほしいアクティビティNo. 1です!!
I recommend using video because you can refer back to it later!
ビデオ付きにした方が後から見返せるのでオススメです!
I had been curious about the ATV experience at Kualoa Ranch for a while. After reading various reviews from others mentioning the dust, I found that it wasn't as bad as I expected when I actually tried it. Of course, I wore goggles and the free scarf they provided...
(By the way, the weather was clear both the day before and the day of the experience.)
The guide was very entertaining and spoke at a slow enough pace that I could understand the explanations in English with some effort. I was glad to hear a lot about Kualoa Ranch.
The experience lasted long enough that my husband and I could take turns driving and still have plenty of fun. The vast landscape was stunning, and it was a unique experience that you can't have in Japan, which made me very satisfied! Next, I would like to try horseback riding.
以前から気になっていたクアロアランチのバギー体験。他の方の体験談をいろいろ拝見していると砂埃がすごいということでしたが実際体験してみるとそれほどでもなかったです。もちろんゴーグルと無料でもらえるスカーフをしてですが…
(ちなみに天気は前日当日共に快晴でした。)
ガイドの方がとても面白くて説明の英語も頑張ればなんとか分かるくらいのゆっくりめのスピードで話してくれ、クアロアランチの話をたくさん聞けて良かった。
体験時間も十分にあったので夫婦で交代して運転しても充分楽しめます。とにかく広大な大地で景色も素晴らしく日本では味わえない体験ができたのが大満足でした!
次は乗馬体験をしてみたいです。
I thought it would be a good idea to bring a water bottle since you might get thirsty along the way. During the explanations, there is nothing to block the sunlight, and the sun is strong, so it's a g
途中喉が渇くのでペットボトルを持って行くといいと思いました。
途中の説明の時は日光を遮るものがなく日差しが強いので日焼け止めを入念になるのがいいと思います。
