All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

It takes more than 1 hour and 30 minutes from Waikiki. The 1 hour and 30 minute trail ride had gates every 200 meters, and after opening and closing them, we moved at a brisk pace and then to a gallop, without any worries about the horses running away. The horses also seemed to be stress-free. Along the way, a donkey followed us, and it was adorable. The lady was also very friendly with a lovely smile.

ワイキキからは1時間30分以上です。1時間30分のトレール乗馬は200mごとにでゲートがあり、それを開け閉めしてからの速足から駆足で、暴走の心配がなかったです。馬もストレスがないように見えました。途中でロバが後をついてきて、可愛かったです。お姉さんも笑顔が素敵だった。

Last time, I went to Kualoa Ranch, so this time I came here.
The scenery was amazing, and I had a very peaceful time.
There were no other Japanese participants besides us, and the staff only spoke English.
Compared to Kualoa, there were fewer tourists, making it a hidden gem!

前回、クアロア牧場へ行ったので今回はこちらへ
景色が最高で、とっても穏やかな時間を過ごせました。
私たち以外、日本人の参加者は一組もおらず、アテンドは英語のみ。
クアロアに比べて観光客も少なく、穴場です！

It was our first experience for both of us. The drivers and instructors were very kind to us, who could hardly speak any English. It seems the weather wasn't very good, and we couldn't ascend to 14,000 feet, so they gave us a discount! (We didn't even notice how high we went!) The views were something you can only see while skydiving, and it became the best memory! If I get to go to Hawaii again, this is definitely an event I want to include in my plans!

私も彼女も初めての経験でした。現地までのドライバーさんやインストラクターの方々もほぼ英語のできない私達にとても親切に接していただきました。
あまり天候が良くなかったらしく、14.000フィートまで上昇できなかったみたいで料金も割引きしてくれました！(全然気づかないくらい上がってましたけどね) あんな景色スカイダイビングでないと見れなし最高の思い出になりました！
またハワイに行けたら必ず予定に入れたいイベントです‼️

The next day, I had to run a half marathon, but I couldn't help but jump in due to my daughter's strong push. The wonderful scenery was etched in my memory, and my daughter said she wanted to jump at least 20 more times.

翌日ハーフマラソン走らなきゃいけないのに、娘の強力プッシュに思わず飛んでしまいました。素晴らしい景色が目に刻み込まれ、娘はあと20回は飛びたいと 言ってました。

Honestly, I was so afraid of heights that just looking down from the 27th floor of the hotel made my legs shake, but I gathered my courage and participated.

On the day of the event, I was overwhelmed with nervousness and regret, and I thought about quitting many times, but I'm glad I challenged myself.

I had a tense face from fear and anxiety, but I bought a USB with videos and photos as a memory (laughs).

Afterward, you also receive a skydiving license certificate, so it becomes a wonderful memory of Hawaii!

Even after the parachute opens, you can still spin around, so as others have mentioned, if you are prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some anti-nausea medication beforehand.

I highly recommend it.

正直、泊まったホテルも27階で下を見るだけで足が震えるぐらいの高所恐怖症でしたが、勇気を出して参加しました。

当日は緊張や後悔が押し寄せて来てもう辞めようと何度も思っていましたが、チャレンジして良かったと思っています。

恐怖と緊張で引きつった顔になっていましたが、思い出にビデオと写真のUSBを購入しました（笑）

降りてからスカイダイビングのライセンス証明書も貰えるので、とても良いハワイの思い出になりますよ！

パラシュートが開いてからも回転したりするので、他の方も書いてますが、乗り物酔いする方は酔い止め薬を飲んでおいたりした方がいいかもしれません。

オススメします。

After sightseeing and exploring the North Shore (Haleiwa), we went horseback riding through the valley. At first, the owner, Mark, humorously and carefully explained how to use the reins and how to position ourselves based on the slope of the path. The horses are trained for polo and are all very well-behaved. We navigated up and down, sometimes progressing in a line along quite muddy paths. Leading the way was the staff member, Angel, who provided detailed explanations about the forest, stories of the royal family that once lived in the area, the wild boars that inhabit the region, and even about poisonous mushrooms. While there were moments of tension on the muddy slopes, we felt a strange sense of accomplishment afterward. There were also children in our group, around the middle school age, who enjoyed the horseback riding. A family horseback riding experience will surely become a lifelong memory.

ノースショア（ハレイワ）観光・散策後、渓谷を乗馬で散策するというもの。最初、馬の手綱の使い方、道の傾斜によるポジションの取り方をオーナーのマークさんが冗談交じりに丁寧に説明してくれます。馬はポロ競技用に調教されていて、お利口さん揃いです。アップダウンがあり、時にはかなり泥濘んだ道を一列になって進んでいきます。先頭はスタッフのエンジェルさん、森の話や、以前その地にあった王家の家の話、生息しているイノシシの話から毒キノコの話まで道すがら、それは丁寧に説明してくれます。泥濘んだ傾斜道など、時々緊張感を感じながらも終わったあとは不思議な達成感を感じられます。同じグループには小学校中学年くらいのお子さんもいて乗馬を楽しんでいました。家族で乗馬体験、一生の思い出になること間違いありません。

First time doing it.

Great unmatched View. Great Staff. Great Experience.

Definitely doing it again.

This time I participated with my husband. We were a bit late for our reservation, but they were very courteous in their response. Since it was just the two of us riding outside, we were able to canter the whole time, and it was so much fun. I definitely want to participate again.

今回は主人と参加しました。
予約時間より、少し遅れてしまったのですが すごく丁寧に対応してもらいました。
主人と2人の外乗だったので ずーっと駈歩走行で、すごく楽しかったです。
また ぜひ参加したいです。

The car we were concerned about arrived almost on time, and it was easy to recognize because it was a wrapped bus with photos. The staff, noticing that we couldn't speak English well, explained things using simple English words. I also felt that even in a relaxed atmosphere, they paid close attention to safety. I wrote "ski lift" because the safety device connects to the cable and puts you in a seated position. The speed is different, though... I had a refreshing feeling and a bit of fatigue, and I had a really enjoyable time. I highly recommend it.

懸念していたお迎えの車も、ほぼ時間通りに到着、写真入りのラッピングバスなのですぐにわかりました。
スタッフの方はこちらが英会話ができないとわかると、易しい英単語を使って説明してくれます。
また、ラフな雰囲気のなかでも安全には細心の注意が払われていると感じました。
スキーリフトと書いたのは、安全装置はケーブルに接続すると座ったような状態になるからです。スピードは違いますが…。
爽快感と少しの疲労感、とっても楽しい時間が過ごせました。おすすめです。

It was a participation on a very nice day. The horse I was connected with was the oldest one. However, you wouldn't think he was old just by looking at him. Most importantly, he was very smart, which surprised me. I learned how to give instructions, but even without doing anything, he maintained a great distance from the horse in front of him and did a wonderful job. I think it's a tour that beginners can join with confidence. Next, I would like to participate in a coastal horseback riding tour!☆

とてもお天気の良い日の参加でした。
私のご縁のあったお馬さんは、一番おじいちゃん馬でした。
でも、見掛けではおじいちゃんなんて思えません。そして何より賢くて、ビックリしました。
指示の出し方を習うのですが、何もしなくても、前のお馬さんとの間隔を保ち、素晴らしい仕事ぶりでした。
初心者でも安心して参加出来るツアーだと思いました。
次は海岸の乗馬ツアーに参加したいと思ってます☆

I made a reservation from Japan and participated.
As soon as I got on, we took off at full speed!!
The guide couldn't speak Japanese, but they kindly explained how to operate and listened to my speed preferences, allowing me to enjoy exactly what I wanted.

The scenery was amazing!!
We also rode through the mountains, so there were plenty of shaded areas, making it comfortable while fully enjoying the magnificent nature.
I definitely want to participate again! ★

日本から予約して参加しました。
跨ってすぐ爆走！！
添乗の方は日本語は話せませんが、丁寧に操作の仕方や、スピードの要望を聞いてくれて、自分の希望する内容ができました。

景色は最高！！
山の中も走るので日陰も多く、快適かつ雄大な自然も満喫できました。
またぜひ参加したいです★

I was worried about whether it would be cold, but it didn't bother me at all. Anyway, the view of the blue sea and green mountains was breathtaking. I also had the photographer jump with us and purchased the photo and video data. If you want the photographer to jump as well, you need to tip both the instructor and the photographer, so it can be a bit pricey, but it's not something you do often... My husband seemed to get motion sickness after the parachute opened. If you are prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication beforehand.

寒くないかが不安でしたが、全く気になりませんでした。
とにかく、青い海と緑の山が見えて絶景でした。
カメラマンにも飛んでもらい、写真と動画データも購入しました。
カメラマンにも飛んでもらう場合は、インストラクターとカメラマンの両方にチップが必要なので、少し高くつきますが、何度もあることではないので･･･。
夫はパラシュートを開いてからの時間で酔ってしまったようでした。乗り物酔いをする方は、酔い止めを飲んでおくと良いかもしれません。

Wow! This was way better than we had expected.
I definitely felt that I conquered my fear of heights and learned how to work together as a team.
The staff was very professional and made us all feel like active members. We will definitely do this again

Skydiving was an incredibly nice experience. The instructor was experienced and felt like a veteran, which increased my sense of security. I think my husband and I were the oldest participants that day.

スカイダイビングはとてもとてもナイスな体験でした。インストラクターの方が、慣れていて、ベテランの感じだったので安心感が増しました。私達夫婦があの日の最高齢だったと思います

It was absolutely amazing!!!
The view from 4,267 meters above was truly breathtaking!!!

If you're going to Hawaii, this is something you definitely should do!!! (*≧∀≦*)

とにかく最高でした！！！
上空4267メートルの景色は本当に感動しました！！！

ハワイに行くならこれはやっておいた方がいいです！！！(*≧∀≦*)

This time, I had the best memory by experiencing skydiving in Hawaii. The local staff hardly spoke any Japanese, which made me quite anxious until the jump, but it turned out to be a great experience.

今回、ハワイでのスカイダイビングを経験できて最高の思い出が出来ました。
現地の受付の人が全くといっていい位、日本語が通じず、飛ぶまではかなりの不安がありましたが、いい経験ができました。

Although our visits to Dole Plantation and Haleiwa were brief, our guide Hiro provided excellent recommendations that allowed us to enjoy the experience efficiently. The beach horseback riding was an event that is hard to experience in Japan, and I felt safe entrusting myself to the well-trained horses. (The horses moved on their own with hardly any instructions.) It was amusing when they strayed off the path to eat grass, which added to the fun.

Overall, the time was limited, giving a busy impression, but we were able to thoroughly enjoy the main horseback riding experience.

While optional tours have the downside of limited flexibility, I often prefer to explore on my own. However, I discovered new things thanks to the guide's navigation, and I gained insights that only a local guide could provide, highlighting the unique benefits of an optional tour. The restaurant that was recommended, in particular, had great food and a lovely atmosphere, and I was very satisfied. Thank you, Hiro!

ドールプランテーションもハレイワも、駆け足での観光でしたが、ガイドのヒロさんがポイントを押さえたお勧めを紹介してくれたので、短いながらも効率よく楽しめました。
海辺乗馬も日本ではなかなか体験できないようなイベントで、よく調教されている馬に安心して身を任せることができます。(ほぼ指示なしで勝手にお馬さんが動いてくれます。) 途中、草を食べに道をそれるのもご愛嬌で、逆にそれも楽しく感じました。
全体的に時間が制限されて忙しいという印象ですが、メインの乗馬だけはじっくり楽しめました。

オプショナルは自由が利かないデメリットがあり、最近は個人で回ることも多かったのですが、ガイドさんの道案内に新たな発見があったり、地元で生活しているガイドさんならではの情報が得られたり、オプショナルならではの良さを実感しました。
特に教えて頂いたレストランは味もお店の雰囲気も良く、満足しました。ヒロさん、ありがとうございました！

It was not as scary as I thought, and it was amazing.

There can be a hit or miss with instructors, but I had a great one!

It was so good that I want to do it again next time.

思っていたより怖くなく、最高でした。

インストラクターに当たりはずれがありますが、私は当たりでした！

次もまたやりたいと思えるぐらい良かったです。

You should experience it at least once!

It's amazing!!

It wasn't as scary as I thought, and I had a truly wonderful experience.

I regretted not signing up for the video.

一度は経験するべきです！

最高です！！

思っていたほど怖くもなく、本当に素晴らしい経験ができました。

ビデオを申し込んでおけばよかったと後悔しました。

The horses living in the vast grounds were all very calm and well accustomed to people. It was refreshing to be able to run freely in nature. I will definitely use this again the next time I come to Hawaii!

広大な敷地の中で生活している馬たちは皆、とても穏やかで良く人に慣れていました。自然の中で思いっきり駆け足して乗れるのは爽快でした。次回、ハワイに来た時も又必ず利用します！

Sooooo excited! You have to go once in your life!

I was supposed to try it last year, but it got canceled due to strong winds, so I came back for a revenge attempt!!

Since I was participating alone, I decided to hire an outside photographer to capture the experience.

I dove with a friendly instructor and photographer!! When jumping out of the Cessna, it was so quick that there was no time to feel scared. Haha! Once I jumped out, I enjoyed the free fall, which felt short at just one minute.

The weather was great, and it was a very pleasant experience. Also, the photos and videos make for wonderful keepsakes. If you have the budget, I definitely recommend signing up on-site♪

Some people felt a bit nauseous from the shaking after the parachute opened, so if you're worried about that, it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

昨年トライ予定でしたが、強風でセスナが飛ばずキャンセルとなり、
リベンジで臨みました！！

一人参加のため、記録に残そうと
現地にてアウトサイドカメラマンもお願いしました。

気さくなインストラクター・カメラマンと一緒にダイブ！！
セスナから飛び出す時は一瞬で、「怖い」と思う暇もなく。笑
一気に飛び出すと1分間が短く感じるフリーフォールを楽しみました。

天気もよくとても気持ちのいい体験でした。
また、写真・動画もとてもよい記念になります。
ご予算に余裕のある方は、是非現地で申し込んでください♪

一部、パラシュートが開いた後の揺れで酔っている人も居たので、
心配な方は事前に酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心かもしれません。

I had my first horseback riding experience just a few days before my daughter's wedding. Contrary to my worries, I really enjoyed it. The four horses we rode were each a bit greedy or laid-back, but they were all very well-behaved, which made me feel at ease. The Japanese guide and driver took us to a famous food truck where the garlic shrimp was absolutely delicious!

娘の結婚式を数日後に控えての初の 外乗りでの 乗馬体験。
心配をよそに とても楽しめました。 4人の乗った馬はそれぞれ食いしん坊だったり マイペースだったり でもとてもお利口で安心です。
ガイド 兼ドライバーの 日本人の人が案内してくれた 有名なフードトラックのガーリックシュリンプは最高に美味しかった！

My wife wanted to go horseback riding, so I joined her. I didn't have high expectations, but I was very satisfied with the experience. Riding along the North Shore coastline on horseback was quite comfortable. We enjoyed eating garlic shrimp, buying T-shirts, and although it was short, it was a fun time. Above all, the guide's instructions were excellent. It was also a great way to learn about Hawaii, and I highly recommend it.

妻が乗馬をしたいと言うので参加。自分はさほど期待していませんでしたが、結果は大満足でした。ノースショアの海岸を馬の背中に揺られて行くのは中々に快適でした。ガーリックシュリンプを食べたり、Tシャツを買ったり、短いながらも楽しいですが、何と言ってもガイドの方の案内が良かった。ハワイの勉強にもなりオススメです。

I requested the advanced course. A Japanese participant mentioned that this is the only place on Oahu where you can do cantering, and they said they visited various places before finding this one. They adjust to the participants' levels, but we started running early on (laughs).

The wind felt nice, and the scenery was very beautiful, making it a fun experience. The horses were all quite relaxed as well.

上級者コースを頼みました。その時一緒になった日本人の方曰く、オアフの乗馬で駈歩ができるのはここのみで、その方はガンストックを見つけるまでに色々巡ったそうです。
参加者のレベルにも合わせてくれますが、始まって早々に走りました（笑）

風が気持ち良く、景色もとても綺麗で楽しかったです。馬たちもみんなのんびりしていました。

We have ziplined several times and this by far was the best!

We were slightly nervous but very excited. When we arrived, the ease and experience of the pilots and staff took away any concerns. The ride was smooth, serene and very fun. The views from up above were absolutely amazing! We even saw whales from the sky! I would highly recommend this activity to anyone. It may seem scary, but the ride was very secure and the pilot very experienced.

My husband bought us tickets to skydive for my birthday, and at first, I was skeptical and freaking out. However the second I got on the plane, all my fears went away. The view was phenomenal - the ocean, beaches, mountains and whales! I felt at ease with my professional, Mark, and while in the air, he let me take control of the shoot for a few minutes. It was the best experience of my life! It's exhilarating and the view is out of this world. I HIGHLY recommend skydiving at least once in your lifetime, and there's nothing like the view of Oahu on a bright, sunny day... I can't wait to do it again!

I participated on March 8, 2017.

I wanted to ride along the coast, so I rented a car and went to the North Shore. There were some online warnings about it being hard to find, but it was well-marked on Google and the rental car's navigation system, so I had no trouble once I got close. However, it's definitely tough without a rental car.

Our club is located in a corner of a spacious polo field, and the horses were relaxed, providing a much more open atmosphere compared to Japan.

After showing our voucher, we set off with two teenage girls and a total of four people plus one staff member. The saddles were Western-style, which I wasn't used to, but the horses were really calm. The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, and the breeze felt great—it was the perfect outdoor ride.

However, the customer service felt a bit indifferent, and I got the impression that they weren't very accustomed to dealing with customers. I also wished we could have done a bit more trotting and cantering.

I recommend this for anyone who wants to enjoy a leisurely ride along the coast (beginners are absolutely welcome).

海岸沿いを馬に乗りたくてノースショアにレンタカーを借りていく際に
こちらに行ってきました
わかりづらいというネットの前情報がありましたが、googleでもレンタカーの
カーナビにもしっかり乗っていて、実際に近くを通ればすぐ分かったので
場所の心配は不要です。ただし、レンタカーが無いとキツイのは確かですが。

広いポロの競技場の片隅にある当クラブは
馬たちがのびのびとしていて、日本と違ってゆったりとした空間でした

バウチャーを見せて、10代の女性2人と合計4人＋1人（staff）で出発
鞍はウエスタンなので慣れませんでしたが、馬は本当に大人しくて
天気も曇り時々晴れ、風は気持ち良くて最高の外乗でした

ただ接客は少し素っ気ない感じであまり客対応になれていない印象を受けました。
後は駆歩や早歩が少しできればよかったなと。笑

★ゆったり海岸沿いを外乗したい方（初心者でも全く問題なしです）にはお勧めです

I participated with my mother. The local guide provided deep insights into Hawaii's history and current social issues, which was very informative. Since the guide recommended some great shops on the North Shore in advance, I think we made effective use of our time, even though lunch was within an hour. We went horseback riding for nearly an hour along the beach, and the scenery was beautiful, plus the horses were adorable, so we were very satisfied. There were quite a few elderly people as well, so I believe horseback riding is accessible regardless of age.

母と2人で参加しました。現地のガイドの方はハワイの歴史や現在の社会問題などとても深く切り込んでお話してくださり、とてもためになりました。
ノースショアのオススメのお店を予めガイドさんに教えて頂いたので、ランチは1時間以内でしたが、時間を有効活用できたと思います。
乗馬は1時間近く海辺を散歩したのですが、景色もよく馬も可愛いので大満足でした。高齢の方も結構いらっしゃったので、年齢に関係なく乗馬できると思います。
