All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

Sightseeing
I was using Uber to get around, but I decided to join a tour for sightseeing in Haleiwa and horseback riding. It turned out to be a great decision. Our guide was Japanese, providing attentive guidance and care that really hit the mark. Thank you, Arai! I wanted to try garlic shrimp in Haleiwa, and I was introduced to a restaurant. It was quite crowded, but thanks to the advance reservation and efficient service, we had plenty of time for sightseeing in Haleiwa. I got a cute Snoopy T-shirt for my grandchild. I do wish I had done a bit more research on Haleiwa beforehand.

Horseback Riding
The horses were very smart. I felt completely at ease; they were so intelligent that I think even kindergarteners could ride them. One downside was the explanation of how to handle the horses for those having lunch. Since the horses are smart, you just need to ride them, but the explanation wasn’t tailored for an elderly lady who didn’t understand English. It was a bit fast-paced! Thanks to our guide Arai, even though I didn’t understand English, I was able to grasp the meaning. It was a local approach of "just get on and get used to it." It wasn’t unpleasant at all, but it did have an American feel to it.

I had a wonderful day. Thank you!

観光
Uberを使いながらの移動をしていましたが、さすがに
ハレイワ観光と乗馬はツアーにしようと考えました。
結果、大正解。
日本人のガイドさんなので、痒いところに手が届くようなガイドと心遣い。
さすがです。アライさん、ありがとう！
ハレイワでガーリックシュリンプを食べたくて、お店を紹介してもらいました。
さすがに大混雑なのですが、前もっての予約と手際良さで、ハレイワの観光時間が十分に取れました。
可愛いスヌーピーのTシャツを孫にゲット。
もう少し、自分でハレイワの下調べをしておけば良かったとは思います。

乗馬
賢い馬さん。なんの心配も入りません。幼稚園児でも乗馬できるのではないかと思うくらいの賢い馬でした。
一つ残念なのは、ランチの方々の馬の扱い方の説明。馬が賢いので、ただ、乗馬してれば、いいのですが、英語がわからないおばさんに対する説明ではありませんでした。早口でした！
そこもガイドのアライさんのおかげで、英語わからずですが、意味が理解できました。「乗って慣れろ」方式の現地の方でした。
決して不快ではないのですが、アメリカン的な感じです。

楽しい1日を過ごせました。
ありがとうございました！

The zipline experience with breathtaking views from various directions in Hawaii is unforgettable. It took about an hour by rental car to get there, making it a full-day activity.

Since rain can ruin the fun, I feel it's safer to make a reservation about a week in advance after checking the weather forecast.

The instructor was lively and kept us entertained throughout the experience.

ハワイのいろんな方角の絶景を見ながらのジップラインは、記憶に残ります。
現地に行くまで、レンタカーでも1時間前後かかったので、1日がかり。

雨が降ると楽しめないので、予約は、1週間前くらいに天気予報が出てからが安心な気がします。

インストラクターのノリがよく、随所で楽しませてくれます。

The skydiving experience and the instructor were amazing. It was a wonderful experience that I can truly say was one of the few precious moments in my life.

I had pre-ordered a video and photo package. The photos and videos were taken by the instructor's arm camera, and I paid an additional $139 for a separate cameraman to film from the outside. The total came to $602.

The data arrived a few days later, and when I watched it, there was a major editing mistake. The footage from the outside camera was upside down while the footage from the arm camera was normal! So, the video was switching between upside-down and normal footage. After returning to Japan, I emailed them about this issue, and I received an automatic reply saying, "We will respond properly, so please rest assured." A few days later, I received a message saying "Your link" along with the video link URL, but when I checked it, the editing mistake had not been fixed at all; it was exactly the same.

I sent three emails stating, "The editing from the outside camera is upside down, while the arm camera footage is edited correctly, so please fix it," along with my reservation number and screenshots of the upside-down footage, but I only received automatic replies and was completely ignored.

Since my English isn't very good, it was quite a struggle to send even one inquiry, and I researched other addresses and ended up sending a total of eight emails. I emailed the inquiry four times, and I also found their Instagram and tried to send a message, but it showed that I couldn't send it for some reason. The automatic reply I received had a different address, so I sent four emails there as well. I only received a link that was still incorrect, and all my emails were ignored.

I paid a decent amount to preserve these memories, but the editing was done carelessly, and my repeated emails were ignored. It's terrible. After about a month without a response, it seems like I won't be getting any assistance, so I think I have to just accept it.

(On the day of the jump, I repeatedly checked to make sure the camera was working, but it seems it wasn't. It was too late to find out after the jump. I’m really glad I insisted on checking despite my limited English. After that, with this editing mistake and no response, what is going on? It's the worst.)

スカイダイビングや、インストラクターさんは最高でした。
当日「人生の中で数少ない貴重な経験だった」と思える素敵な体験でした。

今回予めビデオと写真撮影のセットで依頼しておりました。
その写真とビデオは一緒に飛ぶインストラクターの腕のカメラで、当日、別のカメラマン(外側から撮ってもらえる)のビデオを139ドルで依頼できるとの事で追加で支払いました。合計で602ドル。

数日でデータが届き、観てみると編集に大きなミスが、、、アウトサイドカメラと腕のカメラ映像がミックスで編集されているのですが、アウトサイドカメラの映像だけ上下逆さまでした！！！
なので、逆さまと正常な映像が切り替わりながら流れている状態。
日本に帰国後、問い合わせからメールでこの内容を送ると、恐らく自動返信で「ちゃんと対応するのでご安心を」的なのが届き、数日後「あなたのリンク」と一言とビデオのリンクのURLが添付されており、実際観てみると、まさかの、一切直っておらず、全く同じ編集ミスのままの映像。
再度、「アウトサイドカメラの編集が上下逆さま、ハンドカメラは正常の向きで編集されている為、直してほしい」という内容と、自分の予約番号の添付や逆さまのスクショを添付して、３度程送りましたが、自動返信のみで完全に無視されたままでした。

英語が達者でないので一度の問い合わせを送るのも一苦労ですし、問い合わせ以外のアドレスも調べて全部で８回送りました。
問い合わせへメールで４回、インスタも見つけて「メッセージ」へも送りましたが何故か送れない仕様になっているとの表示で送れず。
自動返信されてきた添付の問い合わせが別のアドレスだったので、そこへも４回送信。
たった一度、直っていないリンクが送られて来たのみで全てのメールを無視されました。

せっかく思い出として残そうと、そこそこの料金を払ったのに適当な編集をされ、苦労して何度も送ったメールへの対応は無視。酷いです。
返信が来なくて約１か月、もう対応はしてもらえなそうなので泣き寝入りだと思います。

(当日もカメラがちゃんと入っているかという確認を散々してやっぱり入っていなかったようでした。飛んだ後に判明してももう遅い。英語がつたない中、しつこく確認して本当によかった。その後、この編集ミス、そして対応しない、どうなってるんですかね？最悪です。)

I signed up because I wanted to experience this at least once in my life! It felt more like flying in the sky than just falling from a Cessna! During free fall, the G-force was incredible, and the sound of the fall was intense! It was exhilarating and amazing☆

Since the temperature is low at high altitudes, I think it's better to wear thin long sleeves and long pants that block the wind! Those who participated in short sleeves and shorts said they felt frozen and lost sensation during the fall!

I think choosing a plan that included photo and video shooting was the right decision! It became a lifelong memory☆

Even though I don't understand English, there was an instructor who spoke Japanese, so I was able to experience it without any issues!

I highly recommend this as a once-in-a-lifetime experience☆

人生で一回は体験したいという思いから、申し込みました！
セスナから飛んで落下するというよりは、空を飛んでいる感覚でした！フリーフォール中は物凄いGがかかり、落下音が凄かったです！
気持ち良くて最高でした☆

上空は気温が低いので、風を通しにくい薄手の長袖と長ズボンがあったほうがいいと思います！
半袖、半ズボンで参加した人は落下中、凍りついて感覚がなくなったと言っていました！

写真と動画撮影付きのプランにして正解だったと思いました！一生の記念と思い出になりました☆

英語は分からなくても、日本語を話せるインストラクターがいたので安心して問題なく体験できました！

一生に一回の経験として、是非おすすめします☆

It was an incredibly kind and attentive service, and I had a very enjoyable buggy experience. The elevation changes were intense, and the ride was thrilling. It was an experience I definitely want to do again next time. The staff who assisted us were absolutely wonderful. Thank you very much.

最高に優しく丁寧に教えていただきサービス旺盛でとても楽しいバギー体験でした。高低差が激しく揺れが半端なく楽しめました。次回もまた絶対にやりたい体験でした。とにかく対応してくれたスタッフは最高の方でした。ありがとうございました。

The plan included a visit to the Dole Plantation, horseback riding, and sightseeing in Haleiwa. I thought the guide would just pick us up right near our hotel and take us by car, but instead, they shared a lot of history and local stories about Hawaii that we wouldn't have known otherwise. Honestly, it was worth the participation fee just for that.

At Dole, we had a short 30-minute visit, but I was able to shop and found unique items that aren't sold in Japan, which really excited me. The main horse experience was truly amazing. The waves at the North Shore looked like a painting. I was moved to think that such a beautiful place exists in this world.

Unfortunately, the horseback riding experience ran over time, so our sightseeing in Haleiwa was quite short, which was disappointing. However, I was able to enjoy delicious gelato and leisurely explore some cute shops, which was nice. I would love to take my time to explore more next time.

I had assumed that garlic shrimp was included in the course, so I was a bit disappointed to find out it was a separate course, but it was still so much fun that I would definitely do it again.

It was a day filled with awe in a world where there is still so much I don't know. Thank you, guide!

Doleプランテーション、乗馬、ハレイワ観光のプランでした。
泊まってるホテルのすぐ近くまでガイドさんが迎えに来てくれてそのまま車で送迎するのだけかと思いきや、この車に乗らないと知り得ることのできないハワイの歴史や現地の話をたくさん聞かせてくれました。もぉ、ここまでで参加費の価値あり。
Doleでは30分と言う短い時間でしたが買い物もでき、日本では売ってない雑貨と出会いテンション上がりました。
メインのお馬さんは本当に最高でした。
ノースショアの波は絵に描いたよう。この世にこんな美しい場所があるなんて…と感動でした。
乗馬体験がおしてしまったのもあったのでハレイワ観光の時間がとても短く残念でしたが、美味しいジェラート頂きながらゆっくり出来たし、かわいい雑貨店巡りもできてよかった。
次はゆっくり見てみたい。

ガーリックシュリンプがコースの中に含まれていると思い込んでいたので別コースだと知ってちょっとがっかりだだたけど、全然！！！それ以上に楽しかったからまたの機会に。


まだまだ自分の知らないことがたくさんある世界にただただ感動の1日でした。
ガイドさんありがとう

Over 50 years old, and my first skydiving experience!
It was a group trip, but I participated alone with transportation included.
I had seen various posts, so everything went smoothly from pickup to check-in, the dive, and back to the hotel.

Before jumping out of the Cessna, I was nervous and my legs were shaking, but once I was in the air, it was truly amazing.
It felt less like falling and more like floating. As I broke through the clouds and the parachute opened, I was completely captivated by the beauty of the Hawaiian scenery.
I was so excited that I couldn't stop shouting, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.
The instructor was a nice guy who kept the energy up, making the experience even more enjoyable.

Initially, I had booked without a video, but I decided I wanted to have a record of it and purchased one on-site.
The price was high, but I was very satisfied.

I thought it might be my last chance to try this, but if I have the opportunity again, I definitely want to jump again.

50歳を超え、初のスカイダイビング！

人生最後と思ってトライしましたが、また機会が
あれば必ず飛びたいと思います。

Everyone was great! The staff and the horses. The trip totally made my day. The weather was great and trail was interesting. Good times. Thank you to Tori who was our trail guide. She seemed to know exactly what the horses needed and when

We had a great experience. The staff were exceptional. We highly recommend this activity!

The navigation system didn't pinpoint the location very well, and we searched quite a bit in the vicinity, but it was along the road, and we finally arrived. It's better to head there with a little extra time.

On the day of our visit, we ended up with a couple of foreigners, but there was one staff member accompanying each group, and my wife and I changed our departure time to go for a walk just the two of us.

We received a simple explanation in English on how to handle and ride the horses, and then we set off for the ride. We progressed slowly through the spacious grounds and also walked along the sandy beach by the coast. It was a relaxing horseback riding experience with great views.

ナビではなかなかピンポイントで到着せず、付近をかなり探しましたが、道路沿いにあり、何とか到着。少し余裕をもって向かった方が良いです。

当日は外人さんのカップルと一緒になりましたが、各グループに1人のスタッフが同行して、出発時間を変えて妻と私だけで散歩に出発。

簡単な馬の扱い方と乗り方を英語で説明して乗馬出発。
広々とした敷地内をゆっくりと進み、海岸沿いの砂浜も散歩。
のんびりと眺めの良い乗馬体験でした。

I arrived earlier than my reserved time, but after checking in, I went straight into preparation, and before I knew it, the activity had started. The explanation was only in English, so if you don't understand English, you need to speak up; otherwise, it seemed like they would just leave without you. I was worried it might be dangerous, so I didn't let my child have a phone, but it seemed they had set aside time for photos in beautiful scenery at various points, so it would have been better to let them have it. There was an area where you could drive freely, and it seemed both adults and children (6th graders) found it fun, even though kids might fall over. While we were waiting, they also gave us juice and Honolulu cookies. It was a really scenic spot, and even while waiting, I was wandering around taking photos. It lasted about an hour, and I think it was very cost-effective. The staff were also very kind, and I was extremely satisfied.

予約時間より早く着きましたが、受付をすませたらそのまま準備に入り、気づいたらアクティビティが開始しました。
説明は英語のみなので、英語がわからなかったらアピールしないと、そのまま出発しそうな勢いでした。
危ないかな？と携帯を持たせなかったのですが、要所要所に素敵な風景の中、撮影時間をもうけていたようで、持たせた方がよかったです。
途中、自由に運転していいエリアがあり、子どもだと転んだりするので、そこが大人も子ども（小６）も面白かったようです。
待っているこちらにも、ジュースやホノルルクッキーをくれました。
すごく景色のよいところで、待っている間も、うろうろして撮影していました。だいたい１時間くらいあり、非常にコスパもよいと思います。
スタッフの方も非常に優しくて大満足でした。

We participated as a family of five. Our 8-year-old initially struggled as the horse was eating grass and not listening, but with the help of the guide, they quickly got used to it. It was a lot of fun and became the best memory of our trip to Hawaii.

家族5人で参加しました。
8歳の子は、最初は馬が草を食べたりして言うことを聞かず苦労していましたが、ガイドの方に手伝って頂き、すぐ慣れました。
とても楽しく、ハワイ旅行で一番の思い出になりました。

The pickup was on time. They announced it loudly, so I understood right away! During the transfer, the driver explained about the city as we went along.

For check-in, we operated the tablets individually, signed the consent form, and stored our luggage in lockers while we waited. It's best to put all your belongings in the locker! This includes hats and sunglasses!

The instructor helped us get our gear ready and taught us how to fly! I'm not very good at English, but the instructor mixed in some Japanese, which made it easy to understand.

Then, it was time to board the plane... The ascent was the most nerve-wracking part, but once we were flying, it felt amazing and was truly the best experience!!! My ears popped and hurt a bit, but afterward, it was average. I would definitely love to participate again if I have the chance.

ピックアップ時間通りでした。大きい声でアナウンスしてくれてたのですぐにわかりました！
移動中は、ドライバーさんが街のことを説明してくれながら向かいました。
チェックインは各自タブレットで操作をして、同意書にサインをし、ロッカーに荷物を入れ待機。
ロッカーへは全ての荷物を入れた方がいいです！
帽子やサングラスもです！
インストラクターの方が装備を整えてくれて、飛び方を教えてくれました！英語が苦手な私ですが、インストラクターの方が日本語を交えながら教えてくれたのでわかりやすかったです。
いざ、機内へ…
上がっていくのが1番ドキドキしましたが、飛んでしまえば気持ちよくて本当に最高でした！！！
耳がパチパチと痛くなりましたが、終わってからは平均でした。また機会があればぜひ参加したいです。

Really well maintained trail, gorgeous grounds and fun as they are single ATVS!!

Micki was a great tour guide! It was a beautiful experience with countless views. Handling a ATV is always a fun time. She also captured many pictures of us, made sure to get all the beautiful scenery all around us. I would absolutely recommend and cannot wait to come back!

The feeling of falling to the bottom of the abyss is becoming addictive. Since the ground is far away, there's no sense of fear. If there were a place that was closer and cheaper, I might become a repeat visitor.

奈落の底に落ちる感じが癖になりそう。地面が遠いので恐怖感はない。もっと身近に、安く出来る所があればリピーターになってしまいそう。

In recent years, I've been going to Hawaii every year, but I couldn't go ziplining because my partner wasn't on board, which was frustrating. This time, we finally got to go together and had a great time.

We were part of a short tour with a group of seven people, including three Americans (a parent and child) and two young Asian women. One of the buggy drivers had studied in Japan and arranged for us to receive the photos he took via email (for free).

The only disappointing thing was that the longest line was closed. I want to challenge myself again.

ここ数年、毎年ハワイには行くものの連れ合いの賛同が得られずジップラインには行くことが出来ず辛い思いをしていました。
今回ようやく一緒に行ける事になり楽しんで来ました。
アメリカ人３人親子、アジア系のネイティブ若い女性２人組に私達の計７人でのショートツアー。
バギーの運転手の中に、日本で留学経験が有るスタッフがいて撮影してくれた写真をメールで送るように手配してくれました。（無料です。）
唯一残念だった事は、最長のラインが閉鎖されていたことです。
またチャレンジしたい。

I was looking forward to horseback riding and shopping in North Shore, but unfortunately, the weather turned bad, and I had to cancel the horseback riding. The roads became like rivers, so I ended up spending about three hours in a café. I definitely want to try again next time!

ノースショアで楽しみにしていた乗馬やお店回りでしたが
残念ながら、天候が崩れ、乗馬はキャンセル、お店回りも道路が川のようになり3時間ほど一つのカフェで過ごす羽目に(:_;)
次回是非、リベンジしたいです～

It takes just under an hour to arrive from Waikiki using Uber.

I participated with my family (ages 7 to 70). It was the 7-year-old's first time horse trekking, but the horse was very well-behaved and responded well to the reins. Along the course, there were cows and birds, and unfamiliar flowers were blooming, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely and relaxed conversation while taking in the sights. Photography and video recording are allowed, and since the pace is slow, it's definitely possible.

On the day we participated, there were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but all the staff were very kind, and we could communicate well through expressions and gestures. Large luggage can be stored at the reception, and you can participate while carrying a small crossbody bag. They take photos along the way, but you can download them later for a fee. The restroom with running water was clean, but it was unfortunate that there was no soap at the handwashing station.

There were dogs running freely, and goats and cows that you could feed, making the waiting time enjoyable.

ワイキキからUber利用で1時間弱で到着します。

家族(7歳〜70歳)で参加しました。7歳は初めてのホーストレッキングでしたが馬がお利口で手綱指示にしっかり応えてくれました。コースの途中で牛や鳥がいたり見慣れない花が咲いていて、それを見ながら会話できる位のんびりと安心して楽しめました。写真動画撮影は自由です。ゆっくり進むので充分可能です。

参加した日は日本語が通じる方は居ませんでしたが、スタッフ全員とても親切で表情とジェスチャーで充分通じます。大きな荷物は受付で預かってもらえ、斜めかけバッグ程度は持ったまま参加できました。途中で写真を撮ってくれますが後で有料ダウンロードです。水栓のトイレは綺麗でしたが手洗い場に石鹸が無いのが残念でした。

犬が自由に走り回っていたりヤギや牛がいてエサを買ってあげられるので待ち時間も楽しめました。

We did the advanced ride which allows for trotting and cantering in some spots on the way up the trail for more experienced riders. It was an amazing experience and we were pleasantly surprised with the diversity of the trail and how many times we were allowed to canter for stretches of trail where it's safe to do so. Our guide was on top of everything and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way.

I really wanted to do this, so I participated alone. I had heard that it would be cold up in the air, so I wore a windbreaker, but I don't know how many minutes it took from when we descended until the parachute opened. The wind pressure made the zipper press against my throat, and it was uncomfortable. I should have worn a trainer. I couldn't fix it. You need to make sure to fit the goggles properly; otherwise, you'll end up like I did.

The journey in the sky became a rewarding time for myself, and I was glad I did it because the views of the sea, sky, and ground were beautiful.

どうしてもやりたくて1人で参加しました。
上空は寒いとの情報があり、ウィンドブレーカーを着ましたが、降りてからパラシュートが開くまで、何分かわかりませんが、風圧によりファスナーが喉を押し苦しかったです。トレーナーにすればよかった。直すに直せなかったです。ゴーグルにはしっかり肉を入れないと私みたいな状態になります。
空の旅は自分へのご褒美の時間となり、海、空、地上と景色がよくやってよかったです。

One of the reasons I wanted to go to Hawaii was to visit this place, but I could only make a reservation for January 1st, so I went by rental car. I was a bit anxious about driving, but the scenery along the way, with the North Shore coastline and the ocean, was incredibly beautiful. It took about an hour from Waikiki, but the zip line experience was amazing. We started with an easy zip line and gradually moved on to longer ones, reaching up to 800 meters, which was not scary at all and very enjoyable. The longest zip line offered a fantastic view of the North Shore ocean from a high point. I was able to get some great photos while zip lining. I participated with older children, and we all had a great time without any issues. The instructions were all in English, so there were a few things I didn't fully understand, but since the process was the same each time, it wasn't a problem. On the way back, we also stopped by Giovanni's, famous for its garlic shrimp, which became one of my best memories.

ハワイに行く目的の一つとしてここに行きたかったのですが、予約が１月１日しかとれず、レンタカーで行きました。レンタカーで行くのは不安でしたが、道中でノースショアの海岸や海に向けて広がる景色がすごく綺麗でよかったです。ワイキキからは１時間程度かかりましたが、ジップラインが最高でした。最初は簡単なジップラインから徐々に長いものに行き800メートルのところに行くので全然怖くなく楽しめました。最長のジップラインは高台からノースショアの海が見える最高の景色でした。そこでジップライン中の写真を撮っていただき最高の写真もゲットできました。高学年の子供連れで参加しましたが、問題なく楽しめました。説明はすべて英語なのでちょっとわからないところもありましたが、毎回やり方は同じなので、問題ないかなと。帰りにガーリックシュリンプの有名なジョバンニにもよれて最高の思い出の一つになりました。

The instructors were talking about how they jumped with "Japp" yesterday.

It's frustrating to hear discriminatory language used where customers can't hear it, especially in a job where lives are at stake. It makes me anxious that they might have a dislike for Japanese people and that an injury could occur.

It was a relief that my instructor didn't engage in that conversation. However, another person who was jumping kept insisting on using "Japp." The cameraman was nice, though.

The image gets tarnished because of a few discriminatory individuals. Naturally, I wouldn't recommend this to my Japanese friends.

I want a safe and secure environment. If they dislike Japanese people, they should keep that to themselves outside of work.

The driver, cameraman, and accompanying skydivers asked for tips. That's fine, but I don't want to pay them when they act like this.

インストラクターらが、ジャップと昨日も飛んだぜと話していた。

ジャップって客に聞こえないところで差別用語使うならともかく、命預かる仕事で呆れる。
日本人嫌いから、怪我でも起きないか不安になる。

自分のインストラクターが、その話に乗らなかったのはまだ良かったが。
別の人と飛ぶ人がわざわざしつこくジャップと。
カメラマンも良い人だったが。

一部の差別的な人間のせいでイメージ悪くなる。
当然、自分は日本人の友達には勧めない。

安全、安心な環境を提供してほしい。
日本人嫌いなら、それは仕事以外で。

運転手、カメラマン、同行スカイダイバーには、チップを要求される。
それは良いのだが、こんな連中に対しては払いたくはなくなる。

My first skydiving experience was wonderful. The weather was great, and it felt good. I was impressed by the beautiful scenery from the Cessna as we flew up high. It felt natural to jump out, and before I knew it, I was on my journey through the sky. I made a mistake with the PC operation at the local reception, but a kind female staff member helped me with the process, which was a relief. However, I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I could speak English.

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

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!

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 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!

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