クアロア・ランチ 乗馬体験(2時間) 映画ロケ地にもなった雄大な大自然を馬に乗って満喫!<送迎付きプランあり>

Breathtaking view! 絶景!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I signed up at the request of my son, who is learning horseback riding. I thought two hours would be tough for a beginner, but it wasn't that bad. The horse was very gentle, but it occasionally wandered off to eat leaves or took several bathroom breaks, which was amusing. There was a Japanese video before the horseback riding, so I understood the precautions well. We went from a narrow mountain path to a road with a view of the sea, and entering the valley revealed a completely different landscape from the wide-open sea. There were guides about filming locations for movies like Lost, Godzilla, and Jurassic Park, which was enjoyable. However, since all the participants were from English-speaking countries and the staff only spoke English, we felt a bit isolated as we were outside the explanation circle... It seems that half-day or one-day tours have more Japanese participants. It's recommended to book in advance as it's cheaper than signing up directly on-site.

乗馬を習っている息子のリクエストで申込みました。
初心者で2hはキツイかな?と思いましたが、それほどでもなかったです。
馬はとてもおとなしいのですが、時々寄り道して葉っぱを食べてしまったり、何度もトイレタイムになったりして笑えました。
乗馬の前に日本語のビデオがあるので、注意事項はよくわかりました。
細い山道から海の見える道に行って、渓谷に入ると広々とした海とは全く違う風景。
ロストやゴジラ、ジュラシックパークの映画のロケ地の案内があって楽しめます。
ただ、参加者が全員英語圏でスタッフも英語しか話せないので解説の圏外にいた私たちは孤独感・・・
半日や1DAYのツアーは日本人が多いらしいですね。
現地で直接申し込みより安いので事前申し込みがオススメです。

The weather is great! 天気もよくて最高!

As expected, I felt energized.
It might have been a coincidence, but we had one staff member guiding us for the two of us, so we were able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace.
We didn't choose the shuttle service, so we took the city bus, and since I can't speak English, I was nervous about whether we would arrive safely.
I recommend the shuttle service for those who are not confident.
The journey there is also a memorable experience.

期待通り、パワーをもらえた気がします。
たまたまなのか、案内のスタッフさん1人×私たち2人で回ったので、ゆったり楽しめました。

絶景スカイダイビング 一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>

Words cannot express it! 言葉にならない!

Reviewed by: のる

Honestly, I had hoped to participate but was scared and considered backing out. However, after going to the site and talking with the staff, all my anxieties disappeared. The experience of free-falling from 14,000 feet was beyond words. My instructor and the cameraman were very friendly, and being able to dive together became a truly precious memory. (I ended up giving quite a generous tip.)

Participating in Japan would cost nearly double. Considering that you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Oahu, I think it's a great deal for those who are thinking about trying diving.

For first-timers, it's definitely worth asking for photos and video recording.

正直参加希望は出したが怖くなって辞めようかとも考えていましたが、
現地に行ってスタッフと話をしてその不安も全て消え去りました。
結果14000フィートからの自由落下は言葉にならない経験でした。
私の担当したインストラクターとカメラマンもとても気さくで、
一緒のダイビングを出来たことも大変貴重な思い出ともなりました。
(結構チップも多めにわたしてしまいました)

日本で参加すると倍近く費用がかかります。
美しいオワフの景観を楽しむことも出来ることを考えると
ダイビングしてみたいと考えている人には
非常にお徳とも思います。

初めての方には写真とビデオ撮影はお願いしておいて損は無いです。

The shark tour was canceled during departure (due to wave conditions).

It was my first experience with skydiving! There were staff members who spoke Japanese, so I was able to participate with peace of mind! The instructor couldn't speak Japanese, but he was cheerful and had a great vibe, making it a truly enjoyable time. The skydiving itself was more intense than I had imagined, but it was an incredibly impactful activity that is worth experiencing at least once. I'm glad I did it!

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Incredible

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

One word...INSANE! By far one of the coolest things I have ever gotten the chance to do. Some of the sharks even sueface and you can see their fins cutting through the water like Jaws. They are very non-agressive...they know you are there but they could care less...they just want some crab. I was able to go mid-March during whale watching season and the whales gave us a great show...one actually came out of the water about 100 yards from the boat, it was absolutely breath taking. I would definitely go again and drag everyone I know! Thank you North Shore Shark Encounters for an unforgettable experience!!

A great way to see the island

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This is a great way to see the island. The driver was very knowledgeable, and we visited some beautiful areas. We had about 15 min. at each stop, which was fine, except at the Dole plantation. Honestly, I dont know why they bother. In 15 min we had time to get our ice cream, and that was it. No time to browse the gift shop at all, or browse the grounds at all. Either allow more time at Dole, or skip it altogether. The driver could use a bell of some sort. We often had to wait for people who didnt return when they were supposed to. I dont know if those delays made much difference, we still got to the Polynesian Cultural Center around 1pm, which was plenty of time. The evening show after the luau was fantastic.

Great value for a great price. The only negative is that you definitely need more than ~1 hour to get an adequate feeling of the entire Center. This is a great package if you're just looking for a luau (buffet style with entertainment) and an excellent evening show. Will definitely go back for an entire day trip!

Be careful of seasickness. 船酔い注意。

Reviewed by: しず

We went on a small boat, but there was quite a bit of rocking, so some people felt unwell. → I felt like I was going to throw up...

We go inside a cage, so it's safe, but the waves were pretty rough, which made it quite challenging. Depending on where you are in the cage, you might be able to take good photos or see the sharks up close, so there is some variation. I desperately dove down to take pictures, but since I was using goggles and an instant underwater camera, the subjects were often misaligned, and the shadows didn't come out well, which was disappointing. However, the sharp eyes of the sharks are clearly etched in my memory♪

In March, it’s still cold, so a cover-up is essential. Some people stayed in their swimsuits, but for those not used to the sea, I think a jacket about the thickness of a sweatshirt would be good.

As for my thoughts after the experience, I want to participate again (laughs)♪

Booked this activity about 2 weeks before I left for Oahu. Pure excitement before launch. It was a quick ride out to the location, easy intrusctions and pure fun and amazement being able to see sharks in the natural habitit. They seemed to be flying effortlessly through the water around the cage and the boat and showed no aggression towards us, only curiousity. Such a great experience and wish I could of done it each day for the rest of my vacation. i highly recommend this for EVERYBODY.

Running freely in nature. 大自然の中を快走

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in the 2-hour buggy course. First, we watched a Japanese explanation video to understand the risks, and then a staff member who spoke a little Japanese explained how to ride before we set off. The steering was heavier than driving a regular car, and driving on narrow roads was a bit scary, but I gradually got used to it and had a lot of fun riding smoothly. I joined the course that started at 3:30 PM, but it got a little dark in the evening, so the morning session might be better to fully enjoy the natural greenery. Still, this tour, where you can ride a vehicle that is hard to experience in Japan, racing through the great outdoors, is something unique to overseas. I would like to participate again.

バギー2時間コースに参加しました。
最初に日本語の説明ビデオでリスクを確認、その後、日本語が少し話せるスタッフが乗り方を説明してくれて、すぐに出発です。通常の車の運転よりもハンドルが重くて、狭い道の運転は少し怖かったのですが、徐々に慣れて、スイスイ乗ることができて楽しかったです。午後15:30からのコースに参加したのですが、夕方は少しうす暗くなってしまって、自然の緑を堪能するためには、午前中の回がよいかもしれません。それでも、日本ではなかなか乗ることができない乗り物を大自然の中を駆け抜けるこのツアーは海外ならではです。また参加したいと思います。

I participated in a two-hour horseback riding tour starting at 3 PM.

On the day of the tour, it was raining intermittently, but I wore a T-shirt with a hoodie, so it wasn't a problem. More than that, the mist over the mountains made it even more mystical. They also provide raincoats for free.

Being swayed on the horse for two hours while surrounded by the mountain scenery was more healing than I imagined. While sunny days are beautiful, I also recommend going on a rainy day. You can see countless waterfalls that can only be seen during the rainy season. Just make sure to bring a change of T-shirt.

I will definitely participate again the next time I come to Oahu.

I would not characterize this center as a place to do serious information seeking about a culture, but it sure was fun and I learned enough to know it was at least good in what it selected. Yes, the most impressive thing was the stage show, and especially the ending. The story was a rather neat way of combinding all the island cultures and their unique features and similarities.

On the negative side, not many and mostly resolved, our tickets should have included our meal and did not, so needed to be corrected. The food was OK, certainly not great.But there were a few " authentic dishes" that seemed and were more tasty, if only they had been more identified and described.

It was super exciting! チョ~興奮でした!

Reviewed by: CANDY

In mid-January, my wife and I participated with our friends, a couple.

We went to Hawaii for our friends' wedding trip, and while my wife and I had skydived twice before, our friends had no experience, and the groom was afraid of heights... We forced him to sign up and managed to get him to jump.

This time, we jumped from 14,000 feet, which was higher than our previous two jumps, and the freefall lasted over 60 seconds, making it especially enjoyable. Above all, the weather was perfect, and the views were great, making it an incredible experience. The staff were very accommodating, and our friends, who were experiencing this for the first time, seemed to enjoy it without any worries. Although the groom was sweating nervously...

Additionally, for our previous two jumps, we had requested DVD recordings, but in the last one, the instructor's camera only captured my expressions. Here, however, the camera operator jumped with us, capturing the surrounding scenery and the reactions of the people who jumped with us, creating wonderful memories on film.

1月中旬に妻と友人夫妻の4人で参加しました。

友人夫妻のウェディング旅行の立ち会いでハワイ行きとなって自分と妻は過去に2度スカイダイビングの経験があったんですが、友人夫妻は経験がなく、しかも新郎は高所恐怖症…無理矢理申し込み、飛ばせました。

今回は、14000フィートで過去の2回より高く、フリーフォールの時間も60s以上と楽しさもひときわでした。
何より天気が最高で景色もよく見え、最高の経験になりました。
スタッフさんの対応もよく、初体験の友人夫妻も安心して楽しんでくれたようです。
…新郎は冷や汗かいてましたけど…

あと、過去の2回もDVDの記録をお願いしたんですが、前回は2回ともインストラクターの方が手首につけたカメラで、自分の表情しか映ってなかったんですが、ここでは、カメラの担当の方が一緒に飛んでくれて廻りの景色とか一緒に飛んだ人達の様子とかが入っていて、とてもいい思い出映像になりました。

Exciting horseback riding experience ドキドキの乗馬体験

Reviewed by: やっちゃ

Since we had booked a morning activity without transportation, we started by renting a car. We were waiting at the rental car counter with plenty of time, but there was a commotion with a white woman... and before we knew it, over an hour had passed, leaving us with a very tight departure. We arrived just two minutes before the activity started (cold sweat).

The activity was all in English, which made me a bit anxious, but we first watched a five-minute horse riding explanation video in Japanese.

As we began riding, it was Christmas, so the horses were wearing reindeer hats, which was adorable. A family of Black participants was there, and they were riding very large, calm horses, but because I am small, I was on a pony? A young horse? It was quite a spirited one (sweat), not listening to me, running off on its own, arguing with the lead horse, and starting to eat (laughs). I was gripping the reins, worried about being thrown off for two hours, and my hands were soaked with sweat. The scenery was stunning, as expected for a movie set. And at the end, we discovered a climbing goat?! I was so happy to see it for the first time.

送迎なしの朝一のアクティビティを申し込んでいたので、私達はレンタカーを借りる所から始まりました。
余裕を持ってレンタカーの窓口で並んでいたのですが、なにやらもめてる白人女性が・・・そのまま1時間以上が過ぎ、かなりギリギリの出発となりました。
到着したのはアクティビティ開始2分前(冷汗)
アクティビティはすべて英語との事で若干の不安がありましたが、始めに日本語での乗馬解説ビデオを5分間くらい見ます。
いざ乗馬開始。クリスマスと言う事もあり馬がトナカイの帽子をかぶっていて可愛かったです。
一緒に参加された黒人さん家族の方は体がすごく大きく、どっしりした落ち着きのある馬に乗られていましたが、私の体が小さいからなのかポニー?子馬?のような馬で、かなりのじゃじゃ馬で(汗)言うことを聞いてくれないし、勝手に走り出すし、リードしてくれる馬と喧嘩をするし、食事をはじめるし(笑)、私は2時間振り落とされないかドキドキしながら手綱を握る手が汗びっしょりでした。景色は映画に使用されるだけあって素晴らしいものでした。なんと最後に木登りヤギ?を発見!!初めて見たので嬉しかったです。

Amazing! It's definitely something you should experience at least once before you die! 最高!死ぬまでに是非1度体験するべきです!

Reviewed by: きむあみ

I had been planning to experience skydiving at least once before I die. This time, after 10 years, I traveled to Hawaii with friends, and I decided that even if no one else wanted to do it, I would definitely go for it.

On the day of the jump, there was quite a distance from Waikiki to the skydiving point. Once we arrived, we watched an instructional video, and shortly after, our names were called to put on the harnesses. For an additional fee, you could request a video and photos, and a dedicated cameraman would follow you from the preparation stage.

Without much time to mentally prepare, it was time to board the Cessna! I got on the plane with my dive partner, and after about 15 minutes, we reached the jump point. We were hurriedly told, "GO! GO!!" and without feeling scared, we dove! The moment we jumped, the sensation of being thrown into the open sky without a floor was a bit nerve-wracking.

However, during the 1 to 2 minutes of free fall, I felt absolutely no fear. It was just an incredible wind hitting me from below. I had braced myself for intense G-forces or a feeling of my stomach dropping, but I didn't feel any of that. It's strange. Even those who dislike roller coasters or free falls would be just fine.

And the most moving part? I truly felt that the Earth is round.

I think many people have felt the Earth's roundness from the horizon, but the view I experienced was incomparable. It was the first time I saw a horizon that was close to 360 degrees.

I was made to promise that I wouldn't sue if anything happened, so I mentally prepared for death, but I’m really glad I did it.

Unfortunately, my video camera malfunctioned, and I couldn't capture any footage. I was asked if I wanted to jump again, but since that feeling of excitement wouldn't be the same, I declined. The photos turned out fine, so I purchased those, and they even gave me a T-shirt as an apology.

I plan to do it again in about 10 years. Hopefully, this time I can capture the video...

死ぬまでに1度は体験したい事として昔からタイミングを図っていました。
今回、10年ぶりにハワイへ友達と旅行することになり、
みんながやらなかったとしても、一人でも絶対やろうと決めていました。

いざ、当日。
ワイキキ周辺からスカイダイビングのポイントまでかなり距離があります。
着いて説明ビデオを見て、ちょっとしたら名前を呼ばれ順番にハーネスを付けていきます。
別料金ですがビデオ&写真を頼むと専属のカメラマンが準備段階から密着してくれます。

心の準備するまもなくセスナへGO!
一緒にダイブするパートナーとセスナに乗り込み約15分。
ポイントに到達すると「GO!GO!!」とせかされ、怖さも感じることなくダイブ!
ダイブする瞬間、床のない空へほおり出される感覚はちょっとビビリます。

でも、落ちている1~2分 まったく怖くありません。
ただものすごい風を下からあてられてるってだけ。これホント。
ものすごいG?とか、胃が浮くような感覚とか、いろいろ覚悟してたけどまったく感じません。不思議。
ジェットコースターや垂直落下が嫌いな人でも絶対平気です。

そして、一番感動したこと。
本当に地球は丸かった。

地平線や水平線で地球が丸いことを感じた人はいると思うけど、その風景とは比べ物にならない絶景。
360度とは言わないけど、それに近い水平線を見たのは初めてでした。

死んでも訴えません。みたいな約束をさせられるので一応、死を覚悟しましたが、本当にやってよかった。

ただ残念なことに私のビデオカメラだけ故障し、動画が一切撮れてませんでした。。。
もう一度飛ぶか聞かれましたが、あの感動はもうないのでやめました。
写真は大丈夫だったのでそれを購入。お詫びにTシャツを付けてくれました。

また10年後ぐらいにもう一度やるつもりです。
今度こそ動画が残せますように。。。

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Beach Ride as Promised!!!

Reviewed by: Familyof4

This horse ride was all it was promised to be!! We rode on the beach for a good long time! My family and I were looking to do horseback riding that wasn't just on a land trail. Staff was friendly and helpful.
A little more expensive compared to the other locations on the island, but the horses are wonderful and location by the beach makes it even better!
