All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

I had run out of ideas for activities in Hawaii for this trip. Just before the departure date, I discovered this plan! Once I found it, I really wanted to try it, so I signed up immediately! Without hesitation, I registered here, and there were no issues with the pickup and transportation. All the instructors were foreigners, but I was able to understand them well with their broken Japanese and gestures. The weather was great on the day, and I had the best "dive" experience!

ハワイのアクティビティも思い浮かばなくなっていた今回の旅行。
出発日ギリギリでしたが、このプランを発見！そうとなればどうしても飛んでみたくなり、即申込み！
迷うことなく、こちらに申込みましたがピックアップから送迎までなんの問題もありません。
また、インストラクターは全て外人ではありましたが、カタコトの日本語と身振り手振りで充分理解できました。
当日は天気も良く最高の「ダイブ」を体験出来ました！

The horses were very well trained, and I was able to enjoy horseback riding with peace of mind. The children who participated with us seemed to have a great time, and I can recommend this to families as well. The trip to the North Shore was not a hassle at all, and the stop at Dole and the interesting trees along the way were unexpectedly enjoyable.

馬の調教がとてもよくされており、安心して乗馬を楽しむことが出来ました。
一緒に参加したお子さんもとても楽しそうで、家族の方々にもおすすめできます。
気になっていたノースショアへの移動も全然苦にならず、途中のドールも気になる木もなにげに楽しかったです。

Awesome!!!!! Can't wait to do it again, fantastic scenery, crew and experience. Would have loved to have been able to just kept going up and jumping again and again and again

I had a great time riding horses for the first time! Everyone at the riding club was very kind, and I would love to participate again. However, it mentioned exploring the North Shore, but in reality, we only went to one recommended garlic shrimp restaurant by the guide. Perhaps because it was the same as the valley tour, we had quite a bit of free time during the seaside tour. We went to the beach, but there was nothing to do, and in the end, I was surprised to be kept waiting at Turtle Bay Hotel... I would have preferred to have some free time on the North Shore instead. Also, we were told that we couldn't carry our bags while riding and couldn't leave them on the bus, which left everyone in a difficult situation. I wish this had been mentioned.

はじめての乗馬でとても楽しかったです！！乗馬クラブの方はみな親切でまた参加したいと思いました。しかし、ノースショアの散策とありましたが実際にはガイドさんがおすすめのガーリックシュリンプのお店一軒行ったのみでした。渓谷の方と同じだからか時間調整のために海辺ツアーのわたしたちはかなり時間を持て余しました。海によったりしましたが何もない状況で海にいってもすることもなく、最終的にはタートルベイホテルでまたされてびっくりしました…それならノースショアで自由行動させてもらったりしたかったです。また乗馬では荷物を持てないしバスにも置けないと言われて全員困っていました。記載して欲しかったです。

We chose this ride/trail to see a different side to the North Shore (in comparison to Turtle Bay) AND we'd heard great things about the tour guides and horses - we weren't let down - it was GREAT FUN and we LOVED IT!!!! Highly recommend...

Great and relaxing ride near the ocean. Lovely guide. We would do it again.

This was my first skydiving experience after turning 40.

First, the staff member on the bus across from us, I really liked him. His stories were so unique that I gradually lost my sense of fear.

Honestly, I was quite nervous.

Since it was tandem, I just went with the flow, but as mentioned in other experiences, the first seven seconds felt like I was going to die. Once I went into a dive, my mouth went "Gua!" and after the parachute opened, it felt amazing.

I think it would be tough to jump alone, but I also had a desire for freedom.

The magnificent scenery of Hawaii surely takes away your anxiety. I used to love extreme activities, but recently I've been scared of flying.

That's how it is.

I highly recommend jumping from 4000 meters instead of just 2000 meters.

40過ぎて初の空体験です。
まず、お向かいのバスのスタッフのおじいちゃん。
大好きです。
話がとてもとてもユニークでいつの間にか恐怖感がなくなっていました。

正直かなりビビってました。

タンデムなのでもう成り行きでいたが、他の体験談にも書いてあるように、落ちて７秒くらいは死ぬ思いでした。
エビぞりになってからは口が「グアッ」っとなり、パラシュートが開いてからすっごく気持ちよかったです。

たぶん一人で落下は厳しいですが、自由になりたい気持ちもありました。

ハワイの雄大な景色が不安を取ってくれるのでしょう。
昔は無茶が大好きでしたが、最近は飛行機も怖い。

それがこの通りです。

ぜひ２千メートルなんて言わずに4000メートルからおちてください。

お薦めです。

This was the most trilling adventure I have ever done!! I highly recommend it!! My son and I had the time of our lives!! The staff was great and the sights were amazing!! So breathtaking!! I was so scared however it was amazing! I will so be coming again!!

Skydiving was amazing! The panoramic view of Hawaii from above was incredibly beautiful! The diver was kind and made me feel safe, so I had no worries at all! I definitely want to do this again when I come back to Hawaii!
The shuttle car was quite bumpy, so be careful if you get motion sickness...
Also, the time between jumping and the shuttle pickup was long, so I recommend bringing some snacks!
The scenery was truly breathtaking!
Thank you!

スカイダイビング最高でした！上からパノラマで見るハワイはとっても美しいかった！ダイバーさんも親切で安心感があり不安に思うことはありませんでした！ぜひまたハワイに来た際にはお願いします！！
送迎の車は揺れが激しいので、車酔いに注意かな…
あとは飛んでから送迎してくれるまでの時間が長いので、何か食べ物を持っていくことをオススメします！
本当に最高の景色でした！
ありがとう！

I participated alone.
There were many women who also joined alone, so I didn't feel embarrassed about participating by myself.
When jumping from the sky, I didn't feel scared at all. It was a refreshing feeling.
As for advice, I think it's better to keep photos and videos.
The price is on the higher side, but you won't regret it.

一人で参加しました。
女性でも一人で参加の方も多く、逆に一人での参加も恥ずかしくありませんでした。笑
上空から飛び降りる時は、全く怖くありません。清々しい気持ちです。
アドビスとしては、写真やビデオは残しておいた方がいいと思います。
価格は高めですが、後悔はしないはずです。

wonderful experience upgraded to ultimate package well worth the extra $$$

It was an incredibly fun and happy time. I was amazed by the breathtaking views and the skydiving experience!! The instructors were all veterans, so I felt safe and enjoyed myself.

If I ever go to Hawaii again, I will definitely go skydiving once more!

最高に楽しく幸せな時間でした。絶景と空中遊泳に感激！！
インストラクターさんもみなさん、ベテランで安心して楽しめました。

いつかまたハワイに行ったらもう一度、スカイダイビングしちゃいます！

Overall, the sky is amazing. However, I ended up feeling unwell (~_~;) After flying, I experienced nausea and dizziness! This time, about 20 people flew at the same time, and only two of us felt sick... I was one of them. But the sky is truly wonderful. Everyone should try flying at least once.

Now, regarding the passage of time, we went to the site by rental car, but since we arrived after the tour, we had to fill out paperwork afterward and ended up waiting about two and a half hours before flying. It seems that during busy seasons, the wait can be even longer. Therefore, if you're going by rental car, it's better to arrive before the tour groups show up. They say to arrive by 8:30, but I think getting there before 7:30 would allow you to fly sooner.

At the site, there's an 80-year-old man named Masa who manages the Japanese guests. However, since he also handles the tour pickups, there are no Japanese speakers around during that time. If you’re told to wait by the foreign girl at the reception, you might end up waiting over an hour without being called. So, I think it's better to speak up, even with broken English, and push your way in.

The order in which you fly is mostly determined by the order in which you submit your paperwork, so once you arrive, make sure to get the forms and fill them out. As long as you're feeling well, I think it will be a fantastic experience. Oh, and don't forget to give Masa a tip. He's a really nice old man!

基本、空は素晴らしいです。ただ自分はやられちゃいました(~_~;)
飛んだ後に吐き気とめまい！今回は約２０人位が同じ時間帯に飛んだのですが、やられちゃった人が2人でした。。その中の1人です。。でも空は素晴らしいですよ。。皆さんも一度は飛んでみてください。。　
さて、時間の経過ですが自分達は2人でレンタカーで現地に行ったのですがツアーの後に着いたので記入書類がその後になり飛ぶまでに２時間半位は待ちました。繁盛記だともっと待つようです。。　ですのでレンタカーで行く人はツアーの人たちがくるまでに現地に到着した方が良いでしょう。８時半までに来てください。とありますが７時半前には行った方が早く飛べると思います。　現地では８０歳？のおじいちゃんでマサさんという人が日本人を仕切ってくれていますがツアーの送迎もやっているので送迎中は日本人はいませんから、受付の外人の女の子に待っててと言われてそのままにしていると平気で１時間以上も声がかからないですからﾌﾞﾛｰｸﾝｲﾝｸﾞﾘｯｼｭでもどんどん声をかけて捻じ込んでいった方が良いと思います。
現地で書類を記入して提出した順番で飛ぶ順番がほぼ決まりますので、現地に着いたらますは記入書類を手に入れて記入してください。
体調さえ良ければ素晴らしい体験になると思います。そうそうマサさんにもチップを上げてくださいね。。とっても良いおじいちゃんですからね。。

Skydiving itself was the best experience. It was an amazing experience that went by in the blink of an eye! I was already moved by the beautiful scenery as we ascended in the Cessna, but the sensation of falling through the clouds was something I had never experienced before, and it was strangely pleasant. After the parachute opened, it felt just like a walk in the sky. Combined with the excitement of falling, I was shouting "awesome! awesome!"

I hardly felt any fear once we started falling, and I truly understood why people get hooked on skydiving.

Ah, I want to jump again!

　スカイダイビング自体は最高の体験ができました。
あっという間の最高の体験！セスナで上昇していく時点で美しい景色に感動を覚えていましたが、雲に落ちていく感覚はこれまで味わったことのないものでしたし、不思議と気持ち良い体験でした。パラシュートが開いた後は、まさに空中散歩といった感じ。落ちてきた興奮とあいまってawesome!awesome!と叫んでました。

落ち始めてからの恐怖感は全くと言っていいほどなくて、スカイダイビングにはまる人の気持ちが身に染みました。

あーもっかい飛びたい。

Unlike when I jumped in Australia, there was a thrilling sensation of falling towards the sea. The instructors were all handsome. However, the driving during the transfer was rough, and I got motion sickness.

オーストラリアで飛んだ時と違って、海に向かって落ちていく迫力がありました。
インストラクターもイケメン揃い。
ただ、送迎の運転が荒くて酔いました。

After seeing the tree that inspired Hitachi's "This Tree, What Tree," we followed a course that included the Dole Plantation, horseback riding by the beach, and turtle watching.

Above all, horseback riding was the best! Riding through the lush, jungle-like nature while looking at the ocean was incredible. Although it was a long distance, I could see turtles from the horse as I gazed at the sandy beach. It was very refreshing and made me feel great.

During the "turtle watching," the turtles didn't come up to the sandy beach, but I was able to see them swimming in the water.

However, the driver was a bit chatty. His stories about his past work, which seemed unrelated to the tour (common among retirees), felt like listening to an old employee's tales at an izakaya, which dampened the travel mood. Additionally, when a couple on the bus mentioned they wanted to go to a certain popular tourist spot, the driver made some snide comments after dropping them off, which felt a bit awkward (they wanted to go there, so what's the problem?).

There were some enjoyable recommendations from the guide, and some of the stories were fun to listen to, so it wasn't all bad...

日立の「このー木なんの木」のモデルになった木を見てから、ドールプランテーション→海辺で乗馬→ウミガメを見る　といったコース。
なんといっても、乗馬は最高です！　ジャングルみたいな大自然の中を抜けて、海を見ながら乗馬。距離はありますが、馬上から砂浜を眺めると、ウミガメの姿も見えました。とっても気持ちよくて、かなりリフレッシュできました。

「ウミガメ見物」では、砂浜まではウミガメちゃんは上ってきてはくれませんでしたが、海の中で泳いでいる姿を確認できました。

ただ、ドライバーさんが少々おしゃべり？
観光とはあまり関係のない自慢話（定年の方に多い昔のお仕事自慢系）は、居酒屋でオヤジ社員の話を聞いているようで、せっかくの旅気分がそがれました・・・。その他、バスに乗り合わせていたカップルが、「●●（THE観光名所みたいな店）に行きたい」と行ったら、その店前で下ろした後、「なんでこんなとこ行くかね〜？」的な陰口（？）を、しつこく言っていたのが微妙だったり・・・（その人たちは行きたかったんだから、いいじゃないか・・・）。

ガイドさんならではのオススメスポットに案内していただけたり、お話の中には聞いていて楽しいものも含まれていたので、悪い方ではないのですが・・・。

Amazing!!!!
I was able to fly without any worries and had a great time. It was reassuring that Japanese was spoken, but the guide wasn't very friendly. I would have appreciated a note about needing to tip. It seems the standard is $20 for the tandem partner, $20 for the photographer, and $10 for the Japanese guide. I was planning to fly the day before my departure, so I was mostly using my card and ended up short on cash for tips, which was a bit of a problem. Of course, tips are based on your feelings, but I felt bad not being able to tip properly after receiving such wonderful service.
But it was the best experience. There are skydiving options with insurance, but having insurance means there could be accidents. It seems there have been no fatal accidents here so far. I really felt safe while flying.

By the way, adding photos costs an extra $120, and a package of photos and video is $180. It's expensive, but I bought it as a keepsake. I'm satisfied that I could show it to my family when I returned home.

最高！！！！
全く不安もなく、楽しく飛べました。日本語が通じるので安心でしたが、愛想はあんまりないガイドさんでした。チップが必要で、その記載があると嬉しかったです。タンデムしてくれる人に２０ドル、カメラさんに２０ドル、日本ガイドに１０ドルが相場のようで、最終日前日に飛ぼうと思ってたので、基本カード生活していたて、チップが足りず困ってしまいました。もちろん、チップなので気持ちで前後するのですが、すばらしいサービスを受けたのにチップをちゃんと払えず、申し訳なかったです。
でも最高でした。保険付きのスカイダイビングもありますが、保険がつくということは事故があるという事。ここは今まで死亡事故等は一切ないようです。本当に安心して飛べました。

ちなみに、写真をつけるとプラス１２０ドル、ビデオと写真がセットで１８０ドルです。高いですが、記念と思って購入しました。帰国して家族にも見せれて満足です。

It was my first skydiving experience on my honeymoon, and it was an incredible experience. The instructor who jumped with me made the conversation enjoyable with jokes, which added to the fun. I would love to do it again if I have the chance. The waiting time is long, so I recommend bringing a guidebook or something to read.

The photos are a bit pricey, but they make for a great keepsake!

新婚旅行で初めてのスカイダイビングでしたがすごく貴重な体験が出来ました。
一緒に飛んでくれるインストラクターもジョークを交えながら会話してくれるので楽しいです。機会があればまたやりたいと思いました。
待ち時間は長いのでガイドブックなどを持って行くといいと思います。

写真は少し高いですが記念になりますよ！！

It was my first time skydiving in my life! Everyone in the group was Japanese, and the driver was also Japanese, so I felt at ease. However, the instructor who jumped with me was quite casual... While others were practicing how to jump, I was just fitted with the harness and that was it. I was watching a video on the bus, so I felt somewhat okay, but I was a little anxious. The skydiving itself was fun!

人生初のスカイダイビングでした！
グループ全員が日本人で、運転手さんも日本人だったので安心でした。
ただ、一緒に飛んでもらったインストラクターの人が結構テキトー・・・
他の人は飛び方の練習などしてましたが、私だけハーネスを付けるだけで終了。
バスでビデオを見ていたので何となく大丈夫でしたが、ちょっと不安でした
スカイダイビング自体は楽しかったです！

Diving from 4200 meters is exhilarating! When I go to Hawaii next time, I will definitely challenge myself again. I can't forget that feeling even after returning home.

4200mからのダイブは爽快！
ハワイに行ったら次回も必ず挑戦あいます。あの感覚が帰国してからも忘れられません。

The instructors were really cheerful, and all my worries disappeared at once. The weather was great, and it felt really wonderful! I would love to do it again if I have the chance.

インストラクターの人達も凄い陽気で不安が一気になくなりました。
天気もよく本当に凄く気持ちよかった!!
機会があればまたしたいと思います。

I took the plunge and tried it! It was amazing…! It was full of thrills. I'm glad I experienced it! I have no regrets. I felt nauseous once I was back on the ground, and since I’m satisfied with this experience, I won’t do it again. However, I highly recommend it to those who are interested. Just be aware that it can take a toll on your body, and I needed to rest at the hotel until the afternoon, so it's best for those without plans. Everyone else seemed fine.

思いきってトライ！すごかった…！
スリル満点でした。経験してよかった！悔いはありません。私は地上に降りたら気持ち悪くなってしまったのと、今回で満足したので二度とやりませんが、気になっている方には強くおすすめします。ただし、身体へのダメージも大きく、午後になるまでホテルで休憩が必要だったので予定がない方が安心です。みなさんは平気そうでした。

We challenged ourselves as a couple!
I was really scared before jumping, but after I jumped, it was truly amazing!
Experiencing weightlessness while looking down at the ocean view in Hawaii is going to be addictive.
I will definitely do it again the next time I go to Hawaii!

夫婦で挑戦しました！
飛ぶ前はかなり怖かったけど、
飛び出した後は本当に最高！
ハワイのオーシャンビューを見下ろしながらの無重力体験は、病みつきになりそうです(￣▽￣)
また、ハワイに行く時は必ずやりますよ（＾ω＾）

The sightseeing and horseback riding were amazing.
The only downside was that the weather wasn't very good this time.
However, it stopped raining while we were riding.
Also, for the sightseeing, since the pickup location happened to be just one place and there were two groups with a total of five people, we were taken to some unexpected places, which was fantastic.
Thank you very much.

観光と乗馬最高でした。
ただ残念なのは、今回は天気があまり良くなかった事です。
乗馬中は、雨が上がりましたけどね
あと、観光は、ピックアップ場所がたまたま1か所だった事と乗り込んだ人数が2組5名の為、予定外の場所にも連れて行っていただき最高でした。
ありがとうございます。

This was my first experience with horseback riding, and I wanted to try it out. Since I have a visual impairment, I was anxious and nervous right up until just before the experience, even though I had signed up for the tour. The local staff provided explanations in English, but they spoke slowly and clearly, so there were no issues.

After the explanation, we were each assigned a horse, and the horseback riding began. The horses are very intelligent and follow our instructions, slowly trailing behind the horse in front of them. Occasionally, they would stop to eat grass, taking a little detour. The staff were always attentive and offered encouragement, allowing me to enjoy the horseback riding experience with peace of mind. At first, I thought 90 minutes might be long, but it passed in no time.

Next time I go to Hawaii, I would like to try horseback riding by the beach.

乗馬は初めてで体験してみたくて参加しました。
私は視覚に障害があるのでツアーを申し込んだは良いが
体験する直前まで不安と緊張はピークに達してました。
現地のスタッフは英語のみの説明でしたがゆっくりわかりやすく説明して
下さるので問題はありませんでした。

説明を聞いた後はすぐに一人づつ馬が当てがられ乗馬の開始です。
馬はとても利口ですのでこちらの指示を聞いてくれ　前の馬の後ろを
ゆっくりついていってくれます。時々お腹が空いて草を食べたりと
道草をくったりしました。
スタッフの方も常に気を使い声をかけて下さり安心して
乗馬を体験できました。初めは９０分は長いかなぁと思いましたが
あっという間にすぎました。

次回ハワイに行く時は海辺の乗馬を体験してみたいです。

It was much better than I expected!!
I will fly every time I come to Hawaii!!
The staff were cheerful, polite, and really made it a lot of fun!
I had a truly great experience.

思ってた何倍も良かった！！
ハワイに来たら毎回飛びます！！
スタッフの方も陽気で丁寧でめっちゃ楽しませてくれます！
本当に良い体験が出来ました。

Although the North Shore is a bit far from Honolulu, it's definitely worth a visit if you're staying on Oahu! Unlike the bustling city of Honolulu, you can truly enjoy the atmosphere of a tropical island here.

It was also great to hear stories from our guide, Jimmy, during the tour. I believe having someone who knows the area well makes a significant difference in how much you enjoy a new place.

ホノルル滞在だとやや足が遠いノースショアですが、オアフ島に滞在するならぜひ立ち寄ってみるべきです！都会すぎるホノルルと違い、南の島の雰囲気を存分に味わうことができると思います。
このツアーで案内してくれた、ガイドのジミーさんの車中でのお話を聞けたのもとてもよかったですね。やはり、始めていく地は現地をよく知る人がいるといないとでは楽しみの深さが違うように思います。

I experienced the same tour last time and was captivated by the stunning scenery. I tried it again, and of course, the beauty of the coastline was as amazing as ever. BUT! What was very disappointing was the guide! From start to finish, it felt more like his "opinions" and "bragging" rather than a proper introduction to Hawaii. It was really frustrating. He mentioned that he only works three days a week since retiring, so let's hope we don't get that guide (laughs). Therefore, I gave it ★★★★, but you can definitely experience the most beautiful sea in Hawaii from horseback!

前回同じツアーを体験し、あまりに素晴らしい景色に魅了されました。再度挑戦したのですが当然海岸の素晴らしさは言うまでも有りませんでした。BUT! 非常に残念だったのはガイドさん！最初から最後まで、ハワイの案内というよりは自分の「意見」「自慢話」etc.etc...。ほんとにウンザリでした。リタイヤして週に３日だけ仕事をしていると言っていましたから、そのガイドさんに当たらないことを祈りましょう（笑）したがって★四つになりましたが、ハワイできっと一番美しい海を馬上から体験できますよ！

I had to wait quite a while due to strong winds, but it was super fun. We jumped in suddenly without any video or lecture. However, maybe it was more relaxing because I didn't have any prior knowledge.

強風でかなり待たされたが超楽しかった
が 全くVIDEOもレクチャーなしでいきなり飛んだ
でも、逆に予備知識がなかった分気楽だったかも
