The horseback riding experience allowed us to spend a very slow time. My wife also enjoyed her first horseback riding experience. The scenery was wonderful with the ocean and mountains, but the fact that it was a filming location for Jurassic Park was a bit underwhelming as a selling point. The weather was bad, but we were prepared for rain, which was helpful (I was almost about to buy a windbreaker). However, the lack of enthusiasm from the staff who accompanied us was disappointing... Even though the horseback riding started at 11:00, we were picked up at 6:50 and had nothing to do for two hours, which was frustrating. After the horseback riding, we had to wait an hour for the shuttle, and since the location is Kualoa, it might be far, but I wish there was a way to improve that. If that could be resolved, it would be perfect.
乗馬体験は、非常にSLOWな時間を過ごすことが出来ました。奥さんも初めての乗馬体験で楽しんでいました。
景色も海や山と素晴らしかったですが、ジュラシックパークのロケ地というのは、ちょっとうたい文句にしてはいまいちでした。
天気が悪かったですが、雨雲用意されており助かりました。(もう少しでウィンドブレーカーを買うところでした)
ただ、同行していただいたスタッフの方のやる気のなさには・・・
乗馬が、11時スタートなのに6時50分ピックアップ2時間何もすることがなく時間を持て余す事態に・・・乗馬後も送迎までに1時間待ち、場所がクアロアなので遠いこともあるでしょうがもう少し何とかならないものかと、そこが解消されれば最高ですね

It was my first time riding in a helicopter, and I never expected such strong winds to blow in without windows. I was so focused on keeping my glasses from flying off that I didn't have the luxury of enjoying the scenery. There was no escape from the wind in the cramped cabin. After landing, I looked at my glasses and saw that the tears blown away by the wind had crystallized and turned completely white. I do not recommend wearing contact lenses; they will definitely come off. Even with sunglasses, the intense wind comes in through the gaps, so I don't think it makes much difference. The pilot's announcements were hard to hear due to the strong wind noise. I hope they fly a bit slower next time, but I guess that would take too long and increase the cost.
初めてヘリコプターに乗りましたが、窓が無いとここまで強い風が吹き込んでくるとは思っても見ませんでした。終始メガネが飛ばないように押さえるのに必死で景色を楽しむ余裕もありませんでした。狭い機内に風から逃げ場はありません。着陸後メガネを見ると風に飛ばされた涙が結晶化して真っ白になってました。コンタクトレンズの方はオススメしません。確実に剥がれ落ちます。サングラスをしても隙間から強烈な風が入りますのであまり意味はないと思います。パイロットのアナウンスも風切り音が強いためあまりよく聞き取れませんでした。希望としてはもう少し速度を落として飛んでほしい。ただそうなると時間がかかりすぎるので料金もあがるのでしょうね。

I made a same-day reservation for a private plan through the app and arrived. After parking my car, I went to the reception where I was told to leave my belongings in the car and only take my phone.
I put on a helmet and received an explanation along with three other customers.
Huh?? A private plan..!?
The staff kindly explained everything. At one point, I was handed a smartphone, and we all read the instructions written in Japanese together.
After that, we set off. Just before departure, it started to rain, and they lent me a rain jacket.
During the horseback riding, there was one staff member assigned to each group. The horse I rode on started to relieve itself right away and then immediately went off to eat grass, which was quite challenging.
I tried to follow the initial instructions, but when I called for the staff, they seemed a bit annoyed while helping me.
Perhaps because it started to rain, the horse became grumpy and suddenly crouched down. At that moment, one of my legs got pinned underneath. It was my first time riding, and I was really surprised by the suddenness of it, but the staff scolded the horse, and since I wasn't injured, I was able to return safely.
After that, there was no particular follow-up, and since I settled the payment through the app, it ended with a casual "thank you for your hard work." I was really looking forward to it, but I returned home feeling a bit unsettled.
Tipping wasn't specifically requested; there was a jar in the waiting area where you could drop in tips.
By the way, it takes about 10 minutes by car to get to Giovanni, famous for its garlic shrimp.
アプリから貸切プランで当日予約し、伺いました。
駐車場に車を止め、受付に行くと車内に荷物を置き携帯電話だけ持つよう言われました。
ヘルメットを被り、他のお客さん3名と説明を受けます。
あれ???貸切・・!?
スタッフさん方は愛想よく説明してくれました。途中でスマホを渡され、みんなで日本語で書いてある説明を読みます。
その後出発しました。出発前に雨が降ってきてレインジャケットを貸してくれました。
乗馬はグループごとに1人スタッフさんがついてくれて行きました。
私が乗った馬は開始早々大も小もしはじめて、更にすぐに草を食べに行ってしまうのですごく大変でした。
なんとか最初に説明を受けた通りにしていましたが、スタッフさんを呼ぶとめんどくさそうな感じで対応してくれました。
途中雨が降ってきたからか、馬が不機嫌になり、急にしゃがんでしまいました。
その時私の片足が下敷きになりました。
初めての乗馬でしたし、突然のことですごく驚きましたが、スタッフさんが馬を叱って?くれ、怪我もしていなかった為無事に戻れました。
その後特にフォローはなく、清算もアプリからしていたので、お疲れ様〜って感じで終わりました。すごく楽しみにしていたのですが、なんかもやもやしながら帰りました。
チップは特に求められず待合所?にビンが置いてあってチップを入れるみたいでした。
ちなみにガーリックシュリンプで有名なジョバンニへは車で10分くらいで行けます。

I surprised my boyfriend with a trip to Hawaii for his birthday, and on our list of activities was this helicopter tour. He has always wanted to ride in a helicopter, and this ended up being the perfect addition to our itinerary. We went on a Friday morning, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming, as well as informative on what to expect. For the approximately hour long flight, our wonderful pilot Margot (my deepest apologies if this is not spelled correctly) gave narrative to what we were seeing, as well as provided jokes and reassurance any time the flight even remotely became rocky. The views were breathtaking, and this was the perfect way to appreciate how green and full of life this island is. We both felt this was more than worth the money, and we enjoyed every moment. It seems like it can get quite chilly up there though, so I would recommend a jacket.

Basically, you go down two lines in pairs in order. With three guides, you walk and ski in a group of about ten people, repeating this several times. You can either leave your belongings in a paid locker at the entrance or use a free locker at the starting point where the bus takes you, and just carry your camera or phone onto the line. You can't bring drinks, but there are about two places along the way where you can drink water.
At first, you start with shorter runs for practice, gradually moving to longer ones and even skiing backward, allowing for various enjoyable experiences. Each line has a name derived from trees, and the related explanations are interesting (in English). Before skiing, you will be asked various questions, which I’ll list for reference:
- The names of two people
- Favorite drink
- Something to bet on if you win a game in pairs
Around the sixth line, after being asked about allergies, there is a section where each person holds one nut while skiing. There is a bucket placed in the middle of the line, and the game involves throwing the nuts into the bucket while skiing.
Also, since we went directly to the site without transportation, I initially didn’t understand the overall system of Kualoa Ranch very well. Basically, it goes like this:
- Check in at the main reception
Show your voucher and exchange it for activity tickets
- Arrive at the meeting place for each activity about 15 minutes before the start time and wait to be called by the staff
- When the time comes, follow the guide's instructions and move with the group
We had a reservation for a 12:00 start and checked in at 11:30, but since we arrived just in time, I called to confirm. The staff said that if we didn’t arrive by 11:30 to 11:35, it would be considered a cancellation. However, we arrived around 11:30, waited in line at the check-in counter, and checked in at 11:40, which was fine. However, it seemed that the 12:00 session was already closed, so we participated in the 12:30 session instead. Initially, I panicked when I didn’t see our names for the 12:00 session, but I was told that as long as you check in and get the activity ticket, you can definitely participate. Just keep in mind that if you arrive last minute, you might be moved to the next session.
基本的に、2本のラインをペアで順番に下りる流れです。
3名のガイドと共に、10名前後のグループで少し歩いて滑る、を何度かくりかえします。
荷物は、入り口の有料ロッカーに預けるか、バスで向かうスタート地点にも荷物入れの無料ロッカーに入れて、カメラやケータイのみ身につけてラインに乗ります。
飲み物は持てませんが、途中2箇所くらい水が飲める場所があります。
最初は練習を兼ねて短いものから、徐々に長いもの、後ろ向きで下りるものなど、それぞれ違った楽しみかたができます。各ラインには木々に由来した名前が付けられており、関連する説明も興味深いです。(英語ですが)
途中滑る前に色々聞かれるので、参考までに列挙すると
・二人の名前
・好きな飲み物
・ペアでゲーム※に勝ったら奢るもの(賭けるもの)
※6本目くらいで、アレルギーがないか聞かれた後、ナッツの実を1人1個手に持って滑る箇所があります。
ラインの中央付近にバケツが置いてあって、滑りながらバケツめがけてナッツを投げ入れるゲームです。
あと、送迎なしで直接現地に向かったので、クアロア牧場全体の全体的なシステムが最初良くわかりませんでした。基本的には、
・総合受付でチェックイン
バウチャーを見せて、アクティビティのチケットと交換してもらう
・開始時刻の15分くらい前までに、各アクティビティの集合場所にいって、係りの人に呼ばれるのを待つ
・時間になったらガイドの指示にしたがって、グループで移動
我々は12時スタートを予約してチェックインが11:30だったのですが、到着時間がギリギリだったので電話で確認しました。案内の人は11:30~11:35までに来ないとキャンセル扱いだと言っていましたが、実際11:30位に到着して、チェックインカウンターの行列に並んで、受付したのが11:40でしたが大丈夫でした。
ただ、12時の回はすでに締め切られていたのか、12:30の回の方での参加になりました。
当初12時の回に名前がなくて焦って確認しましたが、チェックイン済ませてアクティビティチケットさえゲットすれは確実に体験はできるとのことでした。ただスタート時間は、ギリギリに行くと次の回に回るようです。

I participated with some skepticism, but the thrill of skydiving has become addictive! It was quite crazy.
The local Japanese or Japanese-descendant coordinator explained the tour details during the trip to and from the location, and that was also crazy, which made it fun!

I participated with two friends! When we arrived at Keana Farm, the receptionist first asked for our names and confirmed if we had a reservation. After that, we checked in on an iPad. We stored our valuables in lockers, and any larger bags or hoodies that wouldn’t fit in the lockers were left with the receptionist.
On the second or third zip line, I was told to grab the reddish rope at the landing point, but I couldn't grip it well and ended up reversing, so the instructor had to rescue me. I felt really sorry and apologized, but the instructor was very kind and said it was okay in English. More than anything, it was cool to see them helping me (laughs). Although I couldn't communicate in Japanese, they taught me with gestures. I love thrill rides, so I really enjoyed the zip line!! I want to do it again.

There is a Japanese grandfather, so it's basically okay even if you don't understand English. All the instructors are very kind, so you can feel at ease.
You can add options like video recording for an additional fee, but there are about three types, and the details are all in English, which can be difficult to understand, so just be careful about that.
I recommend it because the scenery is overwhelmingly beautiful compared to skydiving in Japan.

First of all, the driver was interesting and engaged us, which made for a fun time!
During the ride there, I kept signing my initials on a waiver? (Since we were crammed in the car, some people might get motion sickness looking down.)
After arriving, we waited for our briefing before flying.
That wait was long... haha.
We waited for a solid three hours... haha.
When called, we got ready! After that, it went by in a flash.
I purchased both photos and videos (I definitely recommend getting both).
I didn't have enough cash for tips and the locker fee, so I used the ATM inside the building to withdraw cash.
I think preparing about $20 for the driver, $20 for the instructor, $20 for the photographer, and $1 for the locker should be sufficient. However, since the wait time is long, you might want to grab some drinks, so it would be better to prepare a little more. It was a really great experience!

We participated as a group of five adults, and it was incredibly fun. Initially, we booked a package that included transportation, but on the way back, we wanted to eat Kahuku shrimp, so we changed to meet on-site and went by rental car. The facility felt new.
The weather was a mix of sunny, cloudy, and occasionally drizzling rain. Since we were dressed lightly, I thought it felt cold even with a little rain, but they provided disposable ponchos. Wonderful service! However, it got hot once I put it on. When the rain stopped, I thought, "Well, I don't mind getting wet," and returned it.
Our group consisted of 11 people (four adults and two children from the mainland U.S. joined us), and we had three guides. They were very attentive to safety and constantly checked on us, which made us feel secure. As mentioned in the reviews, Japanese wasn’t understood, but they made an effort to engage us with encouragement, funny faces at times, pointing during important moments, and repeated explanations (in English), so we generally understood. After explanations, they would demonstrate with "like this?" and if it was okay, they would say "ok!" or if it was slightly off, they would use their bodies to explain, which reassured me. I have a fear of heights, but I felt completely fine. Perhaps it was because I felt safe.
Along the way, we could freely take water, mini tomatoes, and macadamia nuts at certain points. However, there wasn’t much time to relax, so we quickly drank and ate before moving on. There were other groups before and after us, so we progressed at a good pace. It seemed there were only two other Japanese people in the group behind us. It was quite pricey, but it was worth it. Even at 71 years old, I managed just fine. I brought my smartphone in a waist pouch. I also had a strap to hang around my neck, but they advised me that the waist pouch was better (in English). We could take photos at key points, and they took pictures for us, which made for great memories.
I have sensitive hands, so I bought floral gardening gloves at a 100 yen shop. They didn’t look great in photos, but I thought it would help with the strain on my hands when holding the rope while climbing. No one else was wearing gloves, but I was glad I used them to prevent hand irritation.
大人5人で参加、最高に楽しかったです。
最初は送迎付きを申し込みましたが、帰り道でカフクエビを食べたくて、変更して現地集合にして、レンタカーで行きました。施設は新しい感じでした。
天候は晴れだったり、曇りだったり、時々雨がぱらついたりでした。
薄着ですから、雨がパラパラでも寒く感じるなーと思ってると、使い捨てポンチョをくれました。すばらしい対応!でも着ると暑い^^;すぐに止む→ま、濡れてもいいやと返しました。
私たちグループは11人(私たち以外に、アメリカ本土からの大人4人と子供2人)ガイドは3人がついてくれました。とても安全に気を配ってて常に確認されてたので安心できました。口コミ通り日本語は通じなかったですが、楽しませようと声掛けや、時に変顔、大事な場面では指さし、何度も説明(英語ですが^^;)などで、だいたい分かりました。説明の後、「こんなふう?」みたいにやってみせると、ok!だとか、ちょっと違うなというときには体を使って説明してくれるので大丈夫とおもいました。高所恐怖症の私ですが全然大丈夫でした。安全と思えたからでしょうか。
途中、ポイントで、水や、ミニトマト、マカダミアナッツが自由に摂れます。でもゆっくりくつろいでる時間はないので、さっさと飲んだり食べたりして次に進む感じです。前後のグループもいるので程よくドンドン進みます。
日本人は私たち以外には、後ろのグループに2人いたようです。
けっこうお高めですが、それだけの価値はあります。71才でも全然平気。スマホはウエストポーチに入れて持っていきました。首からかけるストラップも持ってましたが、ウエストポーチのほうが良いと言われました(英語で^^;)要所要所で撮影できるし、撮ってくれるので記念になりました。
手荒れの私、100均で花柄の園芸手袋買っていきました。写真写りはかっこわるいけど、ロープを持って上に上の時に、手に負担があると思ったからです。手袋してる方はいませんでしたが、手荒れ予防に使ってよかったです。

People started off really well catching fish, but we probably only stayed in that spot for around 15mins before moving to another, and then another. The final spot which we probably spent about 30mins in, only about 3 fish were caught in that time. Most of the fish caught were not edible either. The kids got sick from eating the sausage they served for lunch, as did a few other people and no it wasn’t sea sickness because we’ve been on boats plenty and never had an issue. There were also around 30 or more people on board, so a bit crowded. The highlight probably would have been the scenery and the turtles we saw.

I had the opportunity to go skydiving for the first time, and it was truly fun! It was an experience unlike any other, and it really capped off my time in Hawaii. Everyone should try it!
はじめてスカイダイビングをさせていただいたのですが、本当に楽しかったです! 普段は味わえない体験をして本当にハワイを締めくくることができました。みなさんやるべきです。

We experienced horseback riding as a family. We went to the polo club by rental car and participated in a tour. The North Shore is truly a wonderful place, and it was an amazing experience to ride along the coast in the pleasant breeze. It was my son and son-in-law's first time riding, but the horses were smart, and they enjoyed it without any problems. Along the way, we took photos, and my son attached a GoPro to his arm to film while riding without any issues. We also had some commemorative photos taken, and even though it was in English, we received various explanations, making it the best memory of our trip to Hawaii.
家族で乗馬体験しました。レンタカーで、ポロクラブへ行き、ツアーに参加しました。ノースショアが本当に素晴らしい場所で、心地よい風の中、海岸沿いを馬で歩けて最高に素晴らしい体験ができました。息子も娘婿も初めての乗馬でしたが、賢い馬で、何の問題もなく楽しめました。途中写真を取ったり、息子はゴープロを腕につけて馬の操作には問題ない状態でビデオを撮ったり、途中記念撮影して下さったり、英語ですが、いろいろ説明してもらいハワイに来た最高の思い出になりました。

I previously had a horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch, but the movie tour aside, the horseback riding felt very much like a "tourist attraction"—it was crowded, and we all went in a line together.
At Gunstock Ranch, my 2-year-and-10-month-old daughter could ride a pony, while my husband and I chose to ride horses. A staff member walked with my daughter's pony, and we followed behind on our own horses. There aren't many places that allow small children to ride alone, so it was a valuable experience! We chose a 20-minute ride, which was more than enough time for little ones! The grounds are incredibly spacious, allowing us to feel the great outdoors, and afterward, they let my daughter brush the pony and give it treats, which was really friendly of them. I definitely want to go back next time!
*However, there were no staff members who spoke Japanese. I don't think it would be too much of a problem, though.
以前クアロア牧場で乗馬体験もしたのですが、映画地のツアーはともかく乗馬に関しては「観光向け」という感じで、混んでいるし、みんなでぞろぞろ行く感じでした。
このガンストック牧場は2歳10か月の娘がポニー、私と夫は馬と選べて、係の女の人が娘のポニーを引いて歩いてくれ、私たちは後ろから自分たちでついていくという感じです。小さい子1人で乗らせてくれるところはないので、貴重な体験でした!
20分のライドを選びましたが、小さい子には十分すぎる時間です!
敷地はものすごく広くて大自然を感じられるし、終わった後で娘にポニーのブラッシングや、おやつをあげさせてくれたりして、本当にフレンドリーでした(^^)次回も絶対に行きたいです!
※ただ日本語が話せるスタッフさんはいなかったです。
そんなに困る事はないと思いますが。

Meeting at 4:30 AM was a bit tough, but the driver was very good at Japanese. After arriving at the location, there was a room for explanations aimed at Japanese participants, and the service was incredibly attentive and wonderful.
The skydiving instructor provided explanations and practice in both English and Japanese.
Important points are:
1. When taking off, cross your hands, lift your chin, and arch your back.
2. When your shoulder is tapped, raise your hands in a small "V" shape without touching the instructor.
3. When landing, lift your legs, and when prompted, lower your legs and run.
It takes about 15 minutes to reach an altitude of 4,267 meters, but you can see beautiful scenery calmly from the window. By the way, during my jump, I even saw a whale.
Honestly, I was nervous when taking off, but if you follow the instructed position, you'll be fine. Suddenly spinning around made my cheeks jiggle, and I had trouble breathing, but the mountains and ocean spread out before me. Seeing the horizon curve reminded me that the Earth is a sphere.
Below, lush green mountains and the sea spread out, allowing me to deeply appreciate the beauty of nature. It was a brief aerial walk, but I believe it was an invaluable experience. I would love to try it again.
早朝(4:30)の集合で、ちょっとしんどかったりしますが。
ドライバーさんが日本語が上手で、現地到着後、日本人向けの説明部屋があり、非常に丁寧な対応で素晴らしかったです。
また、スカイダイビングのインストラクターの方は、英語と日本語を交えながら、動作の説明と練習を一緒にしてくれます。
重要なポイントは、
1.飛び立つときに手をクロスにして、顎を上げ、エビぞりになる。
2.肩をたたかれたら、手を小さく万歳する。インストラクターを触らない。
3.着地の際、足を上げて、声かけられたら、足を下ろし走る。
高度4267メートルまで到達するのに15分程度かかりますが、窓から落ち着いて素敵な景色が見えます。ちなみに、私の時は、クジラも見えました。
実際、飛び立つ時、ビビりますけど、言われた通りの体勢で挑めば、大丈夫。
いきなり1回転して、頬っぺたの肉がブルブルして、うまく息できませんが、目の前に広がる山と海。地平線が、丸いのを見て、あぁ、地球って球体だったんだと改めて感じることができます。
そして、眼下には、青々とした緑の山と海が広がり、自然の美しさをしみじみと感じることができます。
ひと時の空中散歩でしたが、かけがえのない体験ができたと思います。
また、チャレンジしたいなと思いました。

We had an incredibly valuable experience as a family!
The car arrived 10 minutes before the pickup time, and we read and signed the consent form for diving inside the vehicle. After that, we watched a brief introductory video about skydiving in the car...
Upon arrival, Japanese participants were gathered together, and a guide fluent in Japanese provided explanations. During this time, there was an explanation about the camera and video options, and we made our selections in advance.
After landing, we could check the footage taken and choose whether to purchase one or both options, but I only bought the photos, which cost $171.
After the guide's explanation, names were called in order, and we met our divers and put on our gear. At that time, we received a brief lesson on how to descend and land. Then, as our names were called, we quickly boarded the Cessna and were soon soaring into the sky...
I experienced ear pain due to the pressure changes and felt slightly nauseous even after taking motion sickness medication, but it was such a wonderful experience that I would love to do it again!!!
It seems that the way of jumping and filming varies depending on the diver and the cameraman!
Lastly, I want to mention the tips in advance. It's best to prepare at least $20 for the diver, $20 for the cameraman, and $10 for the driver.
Also, I felt that there wasn't much waiting time, perhaps because we were taking photos and chatting with the guide before and after the jump. We arrived back at the hotel just after 10:30, which was earlier than I expected, so after a nap, we were able to shop and enjoy our time fully.
I definitely want to use this service again! Thank you!
家族全員でとっても貴重な体験をしました!
ピックアップ集合時間10分前には車が来てて 車内でダイビングについての同意書を読みサインをします。その後車内でスカイダイビングについて簡単な紹介ビデオをみて…
到着後は日本人は日本人で集められ、日本語堪能なガイドさんが説明してくれます。その時にカメラとビデオの説明があり 事前に選択します。
降りてきた後に撮影されたものを確認でき どちらを購入するか両方するかを選べるのですが、私は写真のみを買いました。金額は171ドルでした。
ガイドさんからの説明後は、順々に名前が呼ばれ ダイバーさんとご対面し器具を装着します。
その際に簡単に降り方着地の仕方等を教わります。それからは呼ばれたらどんどんセスナに乗り込みあっという間に大空へ…
私は気圧の影響で耳が痛くなったのと 酔い止めを飲んでもなお若干酔いましたが、それでも今はまたやりたいと思うほど素敵な体験でした!!!
ダイバーさんとカメラさんによって 飛び方撮り方は様々みたいです!
最後に事前にお知らせしておきたいのが、チップについてです。ダイバーさんに20ドルカメラマンさんに20ドル運転手さんに10ドル、最低限用意しておいた方が良いです。
あと飛ぶ前も飛んだ後も 写真を撮ったりガイドさんと色々話していたせいか さほど待ち時間はなかったように思います。アクティビティを終えてホテルに着いたのは10時半過ぎでした。思っていたより早かったので お昼寝したのち、買い物などして充分に過ごせました。
また是非利用したいと思います!ありがとうございました!

I have a fear of heights and can't even ride a Ferris wheel, but after seeing this zip line on TV, I really wanted to try it, so I signed up with my husband. To be honest, I was considering canceling until just before the event.
In the car on the way there, the driver seemed to be giving a tour in English, but I couldn't understand anything. However, I enjoyed the drive, feeling the great nature, which was different from Waikiki.
Once we arrived, the procedures were in English, and I was confused, but I managed to get through it by asking a Japanese participant for help. There were three guides for our group of eleven, and since my husband and I were the oldest, the guides were very kind and attentive to us.
During the initial practice, I hesitated several times, but I thought that if I didn't jump here, there would be no going back (laughs). With each jump, I felt less like I had a fear of heights, and by the end, I was able to fly while spinning the camera with one hand. There were various attractions along the way, and the guides put on performances, making it a lot of fun.
When I signed up, I thought the price was high, but I believe it was worth even more than that. The guides took photos for us, which we could purchase, but I wish there had been videos as well. I definitely want to participate again next time!
高所恐怖症で観覧車も乗れないのにテレビでこのジップラインを見てどうしてもやりたくて主人と申込みしましたが正直直前まで私だけキャンセルしようかと思っていました。
お迎えの車の中では運転手さんが英語でガイドをしていたみたいですが全く解りませんでしたが景色はワイキキとは違い大自然を感じるドライブを楽しむことができました。
着いてからの手続きも英語なので解らず迷っていたら日本人の参加の方に聞きながらなんとか出来ました。
3名のガイドの方に11人のグループで私たち夫婦が最高齢でガイドの方もそれをわかってかとても親切丁寧に接してくれていました。
初めの練習の時何度か躊躇しましたがここで飛ばなければ後がないと思いきりました(笑)
回数を重なるごとに高所恐怖症ではなかったのではと思うくらいで、最後は片手でカメラを回しながら飛ぶこともできました。途中途中いろんなアトラクションがあったり、ガイドさんのパフォーマンスがあったりとても楽しかったです。
申し込むとき料金高いなと思いましたがそれ以上に価値があったと思います。ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれて購入することができましたが動画もあれば良かったなと思いました。
次回もぜひ参加したいです!!

The check-in process using tablet devices and the activities are conducted entirely in English. However, since there are quite a few Japanese participants, it all works out. The safety measures are extremely high to prevent any accidents. About ten people form one group, and three instructors accompany you. By the time you finish the seven courses, there’s a strange sense of camaraderie within the group. There are T-shirts for sale at the shop that the staff also wear, and the design is very nice (I purchased one). The group I joined finished around 12:40, and the return driver asked everyone for their opinions and took us to a restaurant famous for garlic shrimp in the Kahuku area. It turned out to be a very satisfying tour, as we were able to visit a place that would be hard to get to without renting a car.
現地到着後のタブレット端末によるチェックイン作業やアクティビティー中のガイドはすべて英語で行われます。ただし、日本人の参加者もそこそこいる人気のツアーなのでなんとかなります。事故が起きないよう安全に対する配慮は極めて高いです。10名くらいが1グループになってコースを回るスタイルで、3人のインストラクターが帯同します。7本終えるころには1グループに妙な連帯感がでます。売店でスタッフも着用しているTシャツなどが売っているのですが、デザインがとても良いです。(購入済み)私が参加した組は終了時間が12時40分くらいで、帰りの送迎ドライバーさんがみんなに意見を聞き、カフク地区名物のガーリックシュリンプのお店に寄ってくれました。レンタカーを借りなければなかなか行けないお店にも寄れて大満足のツアーになりました。

The pickup was on time. It's a tour where even those who can't speak English can manage as long as they can say "yes" or "no." The pilot was very kind and talkative, which was great. The helicopter was an MD500 without windows, just as I imagined. While riding, the wind blowing in was strong, and as mentioned in the experiences, I thought it would be quite cold if I didn't wear a down jacket. The scenery was amazing. I would love to ride again if I have the chance.
送迎は時間通りでした。英語が話せない方でもYES やNOくらいが言えれば大丈夫なツアーです。パイロットはとても優しく、良く喋る方で良かったです。ヘリはMD500の窓なしでイメージ通り。乗っている間は吹き込んでくる風が強く、体験談の通り、ダウンジャケットを着ないと結構寒いなと思いました。景色は最高でした。又機会があれば乗りたいと思います。
