3月中頃に家族で参加してきました。
ワイピオの渓谷内に踏み入るには、車か馬車か4輪バギーか馬。
子供がバギーを運転できる年齢ではなかったので馬にしました。
約二時間の家族4人初乗馬体験でしたが安心して楽しめました。
天気も良く、最高の一日となりました。
受付を済ませ、近接したお土産物を見ているうちに出発時間。
まずは大きな4WDのバンで渓谷の上から下の馬小屋事務所まで。
この道もすごい崖で4WD以外はちょっと登れなくなりそう。
途中、小さな川を渡るときも車がはまりかけました。
乗馬の2時間もちょうどいいかな。これ以上だとお尻が悲鳴をあげそうです。
参加人数は、9人でした。内欧米人が3人、アジア系が2人と我が家の4名。
説明は英語でしたが意外と基本の馬の扱いは簡単で、子供でも乗り方は十分理解できます。
何度か話題になってるヘルメットも誓約書に要らないとすれば子供もかぶらずにOKでしたよ。
初めての乗馬に家族も大満足。馬が自分の意思どおりに動くのは快感です。
前半は馬の扱いに夢中で景色に気が回りませんでしたが、慣れてくるとワイピオの深い大自然を堪能できました。
びっくりしたのは渓谷の下にも住んでいる人がいること。
インストラクターのお姉さんも子供のころは渓谷の下に住んでいて毎日そこから学校に
通っていたそうです。おばあちゃんは今でも住んでるって言ってた。
たまに歩いてる人がいるんだけど、馬の上から挨拶するとちょっと自分が偉くなったようで
気分がよかったです(笑)
お値段も安いし、KONAから参加したんですが途中のドライブもいい感じだし、
お勧めのツアーですね。
近くにあるホノカア(昔、ホノカアボーイという映画の舞台になった)の町で
映画の建物を見れたのも良かったです。
ちなみに私が乗ったポールという馬はちょっと暴れん坊でした。
たぶんインストラクターのお姉さんに一番怒られてたんじゃないかな。
私の乗馬の技術のせいではないですよ~、たぶん(笑)

We had an awesome experience zip lining at Kualoa Ranch. The zip lines were fun and the guides also made the experience a time to remember. We would definitely try this again in the future.

This was something very different that we did and it was a lot of fun. There were about 20 people on the river floating which made it all the more enjoyable finding out where people are from. The water is invigorating, refreshing and relaxing. No matter how claustrophobic you might be, you can easily do this. Fun for the whole family.

ノースの広~い牧場、心地良い風に吹かれて、のんびりと馬の背に揺られてきました!!
空の青色、白い雲、牧草のみどり色、森の深緑色、海の水色、眩しい太陽の日差し、鮮やかな景色が目に焼きつくだけでなく、抜群の解放感で精神的にリフレッシュでき、ホント良かったです。
言葉は英語のみですが、あまり英語が得意でない日本人の私達にフレンドリー且つ、ゆっくり優しく話してくれ、スタッフの方はアットホームで親切でした。
ほんわかオーラに包まれ、非常に楽しくリラックスした時間を過ごせますので、ぜひお勧めです。^^

I'm just a typical guy who rides a car to work, not a horse, so I was a little hesitant to ride a horse. Boy, I loved it. Jod (Yod) was an excellent horseman, and he showed me exactly how to handle my ride. The ranch was privately owned, so the atmosphere was very intimate. We had a great view of the Haleakala and the ocean at the picnic lunch place. I recommend this to everyone who wants to experience a nice and quiet ride in the Maui mountain.

10名ほどの混載で行きました。だいたい日本人、あと韓国人もいたかな。
ドライバーさんは、御年70過ぎのおじいさんでした。悪い人ではないんだろうけど、バスの中では、自分がスカイダイビングをして載った(自身で投稿?)地域のコミュニティー新聞みたいなやつを回覧させられ、生い立ちからスピリチュアル?みたいな宇宙の話、地球温暖化の話、等と正直何言ってるのか全くわかりませんでした。あの話はいらないです。
そして到着し、他のみなさんは講習を受けてはセスナに乗り込み、どんどん降下してこられていました。しかし、私たちは(私は飛ばなかったので同行者が)なぜか忘れられ、9時に到着したのに、セスナ出発は11時過ぎになりました。(他の人たちは10時前には全て終えていた。)
他の参加者が飛び終え、後から来た人もどんどん飛び終え、これは忘れられているのでは?と思い、時々、ドライバーのおじいさんに、「まだですか?」と聞いていましたが「順番だから」「まだかかるみたい」などと言って待たされ、ドライバーさんも、受付の人に聞きに行ってくれれば良いのに、それもなかなかせず。1時間半ほど経ったころにようやく聞きに行ってくれ、「書類が違うところに回されていたみたい」とか言われました。要は忘れられていたと。やっぱり黙っててはダメですね。こんなことなら自分で受付に聞きに行けば良かったです。
そうこうしてボーっと待っているところに、「ドン!」という音とともに、スタッフ達の「Oh No!」や「Emergency!」とかいう声。そして草むらに倒れる人。そしてやってきた救急車。ビックリしました。結局は上空からパラシュートが開かずに落ちたのではなく、最後の着地に失敗し、ちょっと落ちた?みたいなことだったようです。でも詳しくわからないし、本当に怖かったです。30分くらいは倒れた状態から動かなかったし、スタッフもザワザワしていたし。結局、落ちた人は救急車に乗らず、その人の同行者が運転する自家用車で帰って行ったので、それほどの怪我ではなかったようです。でも、そんなんを見てから飛ぶなんて楽しみではなく恐怖ですよね。
ドライバーさんがちょっとアレな人。現地ではさんざん待たされ、そして事故を目の当たりにし、それによって更に待たされ、ようやく飛べたものの、天候はあまりよくないとのことで、最高高度を希望していましたが高度を下げられ(これは仕方がないことです)良い思い出は空の上だけです。
あと、雲が多いということで、高度を下げることになったから30ドル返金してもらったのですが、それも、自分で受付に言いに行かないと返金しないシステムだったので、そこも不満です。言いに行かなければ返金しないなんておかしいですよね。現地は小さな事務所で、お客さんも10人もいないくらいで把握しきれないわけでもないのに。
そしてそんなこんなで、あまりにも長時間待たされたので帰り際に受付に苦情を言いに行きましたが、さすが日本とは違いますね。本当に謝らない!書類が届くのが遅かったとか、書類が手違いで違うところに行っていたとか、天候がー、とかとか。あんまり英語も話せないので、言いたいことの半分も言えなかったのがくやしいです。言い訳ばっかりでした。自分は悪くないと。ドライバーさんは、自分は書類を提出したが受付が間違ったと言い張るし、受付は自分のせいじゃないと言うし。
そしてようやくワイキキに戻る時、ドライバーさんが言った「今日はいろんなトラブルがあったからね、ちょっと遅くなったけどねー。ハイすみませんでした。」という言葉に、もうツアー参加者全員沈黙でしたね。その言い方。。。
そしてその後、携帯電話で本部みたいなところに電話し、「問題なく終わりましたー。」という脳天気な報告にもイラッとしました。
ドライバーさんの意味不明な話。他の人たちは飛び終えてからの待ち時間、私たちは飛ぶ前の待ち時間。事故。申告しないと返金しないシステム。そして謝らない姿勢。
疲れました。
グアムでスカイダイブしたときは講習からすべてに至るまで素晴らしいサポートだったのになぁ。。

I wanted to do something exciting for my partners birthday this year. I found this searching the net and thought it would be an awesome experience for both of us whilst on our first holiday together and it was all that and more. The team were super friendly, professional and helpful, making this an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone venturing to the Big Island. Exciting, slightly frightening (sometimes you have to do things that scare you a little...) and a great way to take in all the beautiful surrounding of Hawaii. Hilo was truly beautiful, even if it was a little damp.

I have hiked many of the popular attractions here on Oahu like Diamond Head, Manoa Falls, and Koko Head, but they have nothing as elegant as what the Huakai Iki hike has. We booked our tour, and was informed that the check in location is at the Aloha General Store. We were greeted by our wonderful guides Keola and Holly. We started venturing off on the private roads owned by Kamehameha Schools, Bishop Estate. We had excellent views of the agricultural land, the coastline of Haleiwa, the mountain ranges of both the Ko'olaus and Waianae! We had learned so much Hawaiian historical facts, such as endemic versus native species of plants and animals, special trees and plants such as the Koa tree, ohia lehua, and the strawberry guava tree. Keola and Holly are excellent guides! The one thing that I highly valued is that you can ask them anything! They will tell you if they know about it, and if they don't they will either call you or email me and give you the answer! Many other tour guides on other hikes, tend to come up with excuses, or falsified facts. But not Keola or Holly. We had great views of the swimming pools (water ponds), nice high clouds, and wonderful native plants. This is the best hiking tour that I have been on by far. I will definitely go out with north Shore Eco Tours again, for their Huakai Nui Hike! Mahalo Keola & Holly!

I learned a lot about the history of the North Shore on this tour and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Our guides Keola and Holly were knowledgeable in Hawaiian history and culture. They have exclusive access to this trail and I highly recommend going on this tour as you will not get the chance to see the North Shore like this with anyone else. It was a real treat for me. I appreciated that Keola asked for permission to enter the hiking trail in a traditional way.The hike itself was wonderful. We saw a lovely lehua blossom on the trail! The area is home to a number of rare native trees that I will leave to you to figure the name of. This hike is not for people who are out of shape. You will get a workout on the hike! If you appreciate learning about Hawaiian culture with legitimate information shared, the natural beauty of the North Shore, and to spend a day of your vacation in nature, this hike is for you. Way better than a luau!

The zipline trip was a lot of fun. The views were great. Zipping over or past a couple of waterfalls was cool.
We happened to be there when the owners/bosses were out trying some new things. They took time to talk to us and genuinely solicited feedback that would make this and other tours more enjoyable. They were as friendly and personable as our excellent guides, Tim and Nainoa, jumping in to take photos, check on us to make sure we were having a good time, and to provide local information. Sure, they want more business, but also wanted to make sure we had enough fun that we would be repeat business as well. I'm sold. I highly recommend this zip for anyone looking to have some fun and excitement, see some cool scenery, and chat with a couple of locals.
If you go in realizing this is not constant action, you will enjoy this trip. Remember, it does take time to clip and unclip a group of people, one by one. But, take this time to talk to the guides and other members of the group, and those wait times pass by quickly...plus, you can get some fun stories or facts from the guides. Several of the stops have great views, as well.

I have had many rides on helicopters and this was the best. Never rode one with no door. My daughter and myself felt it was one of the best things we have done in our lifetime. The pilot was fantastic and having riden with the Sheriffs department as on observer several times in years past he ranks number one. What a smooth and exciting ride. I am telling all my family and friends to check out your service before anyone else when they come over to Hawaii. I will take another ride on my next trip back in the months ahead.
Many thanks, William, for your kind words. We're really happy that you and your daughter enjoyed your tour...there's nothing quite like flying with the doors off, eh? May you return to Hawaii someday and fly with us again.

We took the 2 hour tour and it was AWESOME! I have to admit I was nervous about flipping and crashing considering I do not know how to drive. It was a lot easier than I thought to maneuver the ATV and became comfortable enough to enjoy the beautiful valley! The guide was friendly and easy-going, and made sure to follow the speed of the group. I am glad he was patient with me. We enjoyed the view of both valley and ocean and learned that there are some epic stories to be told about this place. You will definitely get a Native Hawaiian history lesson on this tour. I highly recommend the ATV tour, especially the 2 hour one. We got to feed and pet the pretty horses afterward, and wanted to go on the horseback ride too!

Our guide, Greg was great! Very informative and engaging! This was a beautiful hike, lots of plants and birds to look at and listen to on the way to and from the falls. On the afternoon that I went there was almost no water going over the falls, just drips running down the cliff face. It was still a beautiful hike and well worth the effort. The walking sticks provided by the guide become invaluable on the way back from the falls while navigating some slick mud and tricky terrain.
Aloha!
