We booked the North Shore Keana Farms Zipline Adventure (7 lines) / Standard (with transportation) for four people at my daughter's request. On the day of the tour, the shuttle bus arrived an hour late at the pickup location. (I could communicate in English a bit, so I was able to call multiple times to ask about the delay, but regular Japanese tourists would have been left feeling anxious with no way to get information.) After that, the vehicle we departed in had a flat tire on the coastal road, which almost led to a serious accident! We had to deal with another vehicle in a panic! Although we were initially told we would return by 2:00 PM, we were alarmed to hear it might be around 5:00 PM, which caused us to rush to cancel our dinner reservation. In the end, we returned around 3:00 PM. While the activity itself was somewhat satisfying, I believe the level of pickup service and ensuring the safety of travelers was extremely low. We would not recommend this tour to others.

I participated with a friend.
The zip line itself is absolutely amazing!
Maybe the sun was stronger than we expected, but when we got back, both my friend and I had terrible sunburns on our arms... (laughs)
We slid down a total of seven lines, and the views, distances, and heights were all different, making it a truly fun and fantastic aerial walk!
Taking that first step is incredibly scary.
But once you calm down, you realize you're securely strapped to the wire... I felt that way from the second line onward. ^ ^
However, the pickup time was just so delayed!
It was scheduled for 7:45, but after 30 minutes, they still hadn't arrived. I called and was told to wait, so I was worried while waiting, and they finally showed up an hour later (at 8:45).
Apparently, there was a traffic jam... It was really stressful not having a way to contact them on-site.
Also, on the way there, we had to wait for another car due to vehicle trouble... we ended up waiting for about 30 minutes. (laughs)
When we arrived, there wasn't much said, and we just checked in quickly...
But despite all that frustration, it was so great that I forgot about it!
All the instructors were very kind as well. ^ ^
友人と2人で参加してきました。
ジップライン自体はものすごく最高です!
思っている以上に日差しが強かったのか、帰ったら友人と腕周りが日焼けで大変なことになってました…(笑)
計7本を滑りましたが、見る景色や距離、高さなど色々あり本当に楽しい、最高の空中散歩です!
初めの1歩目を踏み出すのはものすっごく怖いです。
ただ冷静になれば、しっかりワイヤーに体括られてるしな…2本目からは思えました。^ ^
ただ。
ピックアップの時間が、とにかく!遅れてました。
7:45予定でしたが、30分経っても来ず、電話を掛けて、待っててくれとの事だったので、心配しながら待ってると1時間後(8:45)に来ました。
どうやら渋滞で混んでいたらしいですが…現地で連絡の手段がないと物凄く焦りました。
後は、向かっている途中で車のトラブルで別の車を待つことに…これまだ30分くらい待ちぼうけでした。(笑)
着いて何か言われる訳でもなく、速攻チェックインして…って感じでした。
ただ、そんなモヤモヤも忘れさせてくれるくらい最高です!
インストラクターの方々もみなさん、優しい方です^ ^

For a typical trip, I would consider using the local bus, but the access here isn't very good, and since the park is quite large, it was a good decision to take the tour for efficient sightseeing.
Right after arriving, we enjoyed the canoe show (I'll post photos), where dancers performed traditional dances from the Polynesian islands on their respective canoes, which was wonderful.
The best attraction was Samoa and Tonga! Tonga was interactive, and the selected men had to play the drums. The people chosen when we participated were very talented, and we couldn't stop laughing. The Samoa attraction uses fire, but the mysterious vibe of the older gentleman stood out and made it fun. I recommend participating not just at night but also during the day!
Waikiki is urban, so it was here that I first felt the essence of Hawaii. Make sure to visit this place first when you arrive in Hawaii.
普段の旅行なら、路線バスを使用して、、と考えるとこですが、こちらアクセスがあまり良くなく、全てのアトラクションが、見れないまでも、園内も広いためツアーで効率よく周れ正解でした。
着いて直ぐにカヌーショウ《写真を投稿しますが》、ポリネシアの島々に伝わる踊りをそれぞれのカヌー上で披露され素敵でした。
アトラクションで一番良かったのが、サモアとトンガ!トンガは、参加型で、選ばれし男性が太鼓を叩かされます。私が たちが参加した時に選ばれた方々は芸達者で、笑いが止まりませんでした。サモアのアトラクションは火を使いますが、おじさまの怪しい雰囲気が際立ちすぎて楽しかったです。夜だけでなく昼から参加されるのがおすすめです!

Although the explanation was only in English, the most important rule was: do not stick your hands and feet outside the cage! Fortunately, there were no shark attacks. We took our time and got to enjoy a lifetime's worth of sharks up close!

This tour focuses on horseback riding, but you can also stop by the Dole Plantation (for about an hour) and do some sea turtle watching (for about 10 minutes) along the way. However, since these are just side stops, you might not want to expect too much from them. The main horseback riding experience was great for beginners, as they teach you from scratch. The terrain was surprising, as I didn't know there were such forested areas in Hawaii. However, the driver, who was with us the longest, could speak Japanese but didn't talk much, so the hospitality was a bit lacking... Everyone seemed to be sleeping during the ride.
*Note: The horseback riding can get quite muddy, so make sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.*
乗馬をメインとしたツアーですが移動途中にDoleプランテーション(滞在1時間)やウミガメ(滞在10分)ウォッチングなどもできます。でも飽くまでついでに寄るくらいなのであまり期待しない方がいいかも。メインの乗馬は一から教えてくれるので初心者向けで面白かったです。地形もハワイにこんなところがあったのかと思うような森の中を進みます。ただ一番長い間一緒にいるドライバーのお兄さんが日本語は話せるけどあまりしゃべらない人でホスピタリティについてはビミョー。。みんな移動中は寝てましたね。

Riding on the back of a slowly walking horse while gazing at the beautiful sea was truly enjoyable. It was my first time riding a horse, but I was able to get on easily without feeling scared. I think the horse was quite old, so I felt grateful for the ride and hoped it would do its best to walk, but I was just so happy to have my first horseback riding experience. My husband said that a shorter time would have been fine, but I wanted to go riding for the same amount of time every day. As for clothing, I thought that as long as I wore sturdy footwear (like sneakers), it would be fine, just like when sightseeing.
ゆっくりと歩く馬の背中に乗り、とってもキレイな海を眺めながらの時間は本当に楽しかったです。馬に乗るのは初めてだったのですが、怖い思いもせず、簡単に馬の背中に乗れました。たぶん、かなり高齢の馬だと思ので、乗せてくれてありがとうございます、頑張って歩いてくださいねって感じもありましたが、私は初乗馬が嬉しいばかりでした。主人は、もっと短い時間でも良いと言いましたが、私は同じ時間ぐらいを毎日でも乗りに行きたかったです。服装は足元さえしっかりしたもの(スニーカー等)を履いていれば、他の観光するときと同じで大丈夫だなと思いました。

During our stay in Hawaii, we booked this tour at my daughter's request. We found a zipline-only tour with pickup from Waikiki at Keana Farms. It seems there is also a reservation booth on the 1st floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki, but since I usually book with VELTRA, I felt secure making the reservation.
Perhaps it's still not well-known among Japanese travelers? The shuttle bus and at the site, we only encountered people from Europe, America, and Australia, and did not meet any Japanese guests. By the way, check-in and explanations are all in English, but the staff are very friendly, so even basic English is sufficient (laughs).
The travel time from Waikiki is about 1.3 hours one way, with a waiting time on-site (including gear preparation) of about 30 minutes, and the zipline experience with seven lines (the longest being about 1200 meters?) takes around three hours. The movement between ziplines is on foot, but there are enough features to enjoy. There are also two or three water stations, so all belongings, including water, can be stored for free at the counter before departure.
For clothing, a T-shirt and pants that can get dirty, along with athletic shoes or sneakers, are necessary. My daughter bought inexpensive items at H&M in Waikiki to prepare (sweat). Also, if you want to take photos with a camera or iPhone, a neck strap is needed.
The thrill of sliding down towards the ocean is amazing, and the scenery is something you absolutely cannot experience in Japan! I highly recommend it.
ハワイ滞在中に、娘のリクエストでこのツアーを申し込みました。
ワイキキから送迎付きでジップラインだけのツアーを探しケアナファームを見つけました。ワイキキのロイヤル・ハワイアン・センター1Fにも予約ブース?があるようですが、いつもお願いしているVELTRAさんも取り扱っていたので安心して予約できました。
まだ、日本の方々には知られていないのか?送迎バス、現地においても欧米豪の方ばかりで日本人の方とお会いすることはありませんでしたね。ちなみにチェックインや説明などは全て英語ですが、スタッフが非常に親切なのでカタコト程度の英語でも大丈夫でした(笑)
ワイキキからの移動片道:約1.3時間、現地待ち時間(装具の準備を含め):約30分、ジップライン7本(最長1200m?):約3時間、バギーでの移動は最初のみで10分程度でした。
ジップライン間の移動は徒歩ですが、それなりに仕掛けがあって楽しめます。また、給水ポイントが2、3か所ありましたので、水を含めた荷物は全て出発前に無料でカウンターが預かってくれます。服装は汚れても良いTシャツ・ズボンに運動靴かスニーカーが必要です。娘はワイキキのH&Mで安価なものを購入し準備してました(汗)。あと、カメラやiPhoneで撮影するなら首からのストラップが必要ですね。
海に向けて滑り下りる爽快感は最高です、また日本では絶対体験できない景観も素晴らしいですよ!!おすすめします。

The Japanese guide who led us from the meeting point to the Polynesian Cultural Center was like everyone's mother! I'm so grateful.
As soon as we arrived at the venue, we had a meal. The food was, well, pretty good. After eating, we did a little shopping, but we only had about 15 minutes to spare. Honestly, I wish we had more time to look around. Then we watched the show.
The show was dynamic, but I was a bit tired, so I dozed off for a little while. If asked whether I would watch the show again, I probably wouldn't. However, for those who haven't seen it at all, I would say, "You should see it!" Just seeing it once is enough.
There were many buses lined up for the return trip. Before we left, we were told the bus license plate number and the bus gathering area, so I made sure to jot that down to remember it when looking for our bus to board.
It's a bit lonely not having the Japanese mother figure who was with us on the way there (laughs). If you have the time, I think the all-day course would be great, not just the twilight one.

でも一度も見ていない人には「見ておけば?」かと。一度見れば十分、ということです。
帰りのバスは多数が並んでいます。行きの時点で帰りのバスのナンバープレートの番号とバスの集合エリアを教えられるのでそれを忘れにメモしておいて、帰りのバスを探して乗り込みます。

I rode at Sweetheart for two days on July 11 and 12 (the canter course was an additional $10). It takes about two hours to get there from Ala Moana by The Bus. There were a lot of children, possibly because Hawaii's schools are on summer break. When we arrived, there was no one at the reception. After informing a wandering person that we had a reservation, a staff member came out, and we signed a waiver before preparing the horses. The four of us enjoy riding outside both domestically and internationally, so we came here intending to gallop. As expected, we were able to ride at speeds of 40 km or more. However, I think it's important to inform the guide about the speed you are comfortable with, as it can be dangerous if you haven't experienced this level of speed beforehand. The canter within the riding club is limited to about 20 km, which feels like shifting from third to fourth gear in a car. We had lunch on a hill overlooking the North Shore, but the lunch box in the horse's saddle pocket got all mixed up due to the up-and-down vibrations. On the second day, we decided not to bring lunch and ate after returning. Also, the stirrups are often too long for Japanese riders, so if they don't fit, it's important to adjust them (or switch to a child’s saddle if adjustments aren't possible) to avoid falling off during canter or gallop. I believe it's better to communicate, even in broken English, regarding speed and other matters, as accidents are the rider's responsibility. Compared to riding in Japan, the sense of freedom is completely different, making it an excellent ranch for those who want to ride fast. (The walking course is just for walking, and the canter course is optional.) It's a pity that the time for each course is predetermined, limiting the options available.
7/11,12の2日間スイートハート(キャンターコースはオプションで$10アップでした)で騎乗。The Busでアラモアナから2時間で行けます。ハワイの学校が夏休みに入ったのか子供たちがいっぱい。我々が着いても受付に誰もいません。うろうろしている人に「予約している」と告げるとスタッフが出てきて免責の書面に各人サインしてから馬の準備。我々4人は内外地で外乗で走ることを楽しんでいますので、ここでもギャロップで走るつもりで来ました。内容は予想通り40Kmかそれ以上のスピードで走ることが出来ました。ただし、事前にこの程度の速度を経験していないと危険ですので、ガイドさんにはどの程度で走るかを指示しておく必要があると思います。乗馬クラブのラチ内での駈足は20Km位までですので車で言うとギアが3速から4速に上がる感じです。途中ノースショアの景色を見下ろせる丘でランチですが、馬のゼッケンのポケットに入れてあったランチボックスの中が上下の振動でグチャグチャになっていました。2日目はランチを持って行かないで戻ってから食事にしました。また、鐙は日本人には長すぎることが多いので、自分に合わない場合は妥協しないで調節(調節出来ない場合は子供用の鞍に替えてもらう)しないとキャンター、ギャロップでは落馬につながります。速度の点も含めて片言ででも英語で意思疎通が出来た方が良いと思います。事故は自己責任ですので。日本での外乗と比べて解放感がまったく違い、速く走りたい方には絶好の牧場です。(歩くコースは歩くだけ、キャンターコースはオプションです)コースによって時間が決まっており選択の巾が少ないのが残念です。

I chose this place because they offered transportation. The pickup was at 7:45, so I arrived early at 7:30. As soon as I got to the pickup location, the shuttle van arrived and said, "Hurry up and get on!" I showed my voucher just in case, but I was glad I arrived early and was able to get on!
Next, after arriving at Keana Farm, when I showed my voucher at the reception counter, I was told there was a translation fee of $30. I thought, "Is this an additional charge?" and said NO, which made the staff look troubled. It turned out there was no additional fee, and when I showed my voucher at a different counter, I was checked in smoothly. At the reception, I was told, "After checking in on the iPad, please wait in the area with benches," so I used the restroom and left my luggage at the reception to wait. I waited for almost an hour. There was a monitor in the waiting area displaying my name and time. When the time approached, I would be fitted with the equipment. Since there was no announcement from the guide, I told a nearby guide, "I think I'm next," and a lovely guide responded in Japanese, saying, "I'm in charge of the Japanese guests." It was nice to have translation included in the plan. This guide also accompanied me during the zip line, which made me feel at ease. Since I was the only Japanese person there, I felt it was a luxury.
The zip line experience was very enjoyable. I would give it four stars. Sliding through the farm felt great, and I could see the ocean, mountains, and fields; it went by in no time. Although not fluent, the explanations in Japanese were very reassuring. I think anyone with enough stamina to walk up about three flights of stairs can enjoy it fully.
Basically, everything was in English from the transportation to the equipment fitting, and after the zip line, I was left on my own. The Japanese guide appeared when it was time to put on the equipment, and while we were saying how much fun we had at the end of the tour, they disappeared before I could even give a tip.
They took photos during the zip line, which you can purchase. I decided to buy the photos and paid on the spot. I was told that I would receive the data right away, but it didn't come. I thought it would be a problem if I had given the wrong email address when I purchased them, so I sent a message through the CLIMB Works website's contact form saying, "I bought the photos, but have they been sent?" However, I received no reply. Since I can't speak English, I thought calling would be futile, so I gave up. But a few days later, I received the photos! I was relieved! Initially, I would have given it one star, but I changed it to four stars.
送迎付きだったのでここを選びました。
まずピックアップが7:45だったのですが早めに行こうと7:30に到着しました。するとピックアップ場所到着してすぐ送迎のバンが来て「急いで乗って!」と。一応バウチャーを見せましたが、早く来て良かったよ!乗れて良かったよ!思いました。
次にケアナファーム到着後、受付カウンターでバウチャーを見せたらトランスレーション$30だと言われました。追加料金?と思いNOと言ったら困った顔をされました。やはり追加料金はなかったようで別のカウンターにバウチャーを見せたらすんなり受付されました。受付で「iPadでチェックインしたらベンチのあるところで待ってて」と言われ、トイレを済ませ荷物は受付に預けて待ちました。1時間弱くらい待ちました。待ってる場所にモニターがあり自分の名前と時間が表示されています。時間が近づいたら装備をつけてもらいます。ガイドさんから声かけは無かったので「私は次だと思う」と近くにいたガイドさんに言うと、別の可愛らしいガイドさんが「日本人担当です」と日本語で声をかけてくれました。プランに翻訳が込みなんですね。このガイドさんがジップラインも一緒にまわってくれたので安心でした。日本人は私だけだったので贅沢だなと思いました。
その後のジップラインはとても楽しかったです。星も☆☆☆☆です。農園の中を滑るのはとても気持ちが良く、海も山も畑も見えて、あっという間でした。流暢ではないですが日本語で説明してくれるのはとても安心でした。階段で歩いて3階くらいまで上れる体力があれば十分楽しめると思います。
基本すべて英語で送迎〜装備装着とジップライン終了後はほったらかしです。日本語ガイドさんは装備をつけてくれる時に現れてツアーが終わって楽しかった!とか言っている間にチップを渡す間もなくいなくなっていました。
ジップライン中に写真を撮ってくれて、その写真を購入できます。

You will be participating among complete American tourists. If you don't have a certain level of English proficiency, you might feel nervous. You can see the sharks clearly.

My kids said this was the experience of a lifetime! Water was a little rough so if you suffer from sea sickness I would recommend medication but the overall experience was worth every minute. We did some sort of excursion almost every day and my family loved this!!

The pickup location was also near the hotel.
The shuttle arrived at the scheduled meeting time, allowing for a smooth transfer.
If I have the opportunity, I would like to use this service again next time.
ピックアップ場所もホテル近辺で
予定どうりの待ち合わせ時間に送迎が来てスムーズな移動ができた。
機会があれば次回も使わせていただきたいと思います。

I finally experienced ziplining!
We went by rental car without any shuttle service.
The location was easy to find. Everything on-site was in English, so there were moments of confusion (laughs), but it all worked out! The staff were bright, kind, and reliable, which made up for it! The scenery is truly amazing. There’s also a bit of an obstacle course that takes about three hours. If you're not afraid of heights, you'll be fine.
You can definitely enjoy nature to the fullest!
念願のジップライン体験してきました!
私達は送迎なしで レンタカーで行きました。
場所もわかりやすかったですよ。現地は全て英語なので なんだかさっぱり(笑)な事もありますが
なんとかなります!そしてそれをカバーするくらい
スタッフは明るく優しく頼もしい!景色も本当に最高です。3時間位でアスレチックの部分も少しあり。高所恐怖症でなければ大丈夫です。
自然を満喫できること間違いなし!です!
