All Reviews for North Shore, Oahu

It was a pleasant experience to ride horses slowly along the beach. I was a bit nervous since it was my first time riding, but the two female instructors were kind and guided me well. In the end, I felt a sense of unity with the horse! It became a valuable experience.

浜辺をゆっくり乗馬する気持ちの良い体験でした。初めての乗馬で緊張気味だったけど、女性二人のインストラクターが優しく指導してくれ、最後は馬との一体感も感じられたような！？貴重な体験になりました。

I drove to Polo Club by rental car, but I missed the sign and almost entered a different riding club next door, which was a close call. I was prepared based on everyone's posts, but I found that no one spoke Japanese at all. However, a kind female staff member explained everything to me multiple times, so it was okay. There was no practice or anything; we just started right away, and I was nervous at first, but the horses were very gentle, and I got used to it quickly. I thought everything would be along the coast, but we also went through some grassy areas, so I think it's better for those who are concerned to wear long pants. Walking by the seaside was truly pleasant, like a scene from a movie. I wished I had more time by the sea, but I learned that this company is the only one that allows you to walk along the coast, so I had a valuable riding experience and really enjoyed it.

ポロクラブまでレンタカーで行きましたが、看板に気づかずに通り過ぎてしまい、
隣の違う乗馬クラブに入りそうになって危なかったです。
みなさんの投稿で覚悟はしていましたが、日本語は全く通じません。
でも、現地スタッフの女性が優しく何度も説明してくれるので大丈夫でした。
練習もなにもなく、いきなりスタートで最初は緊張しましたが、とてもおとなしい馬ばかりですぐに慣れました。
全部が海沿いなのかと思っていましたが、途中草むらの中も入ったりしたので、気になる人は長ズボンの方がいいと思います。
海辺を歩いている時は本当に気持ちよく、映画のワンシーンのようでした。
もっともっと海辺の時間が欲しかったですが、海沿いを歩けるのはこちらの会社だけとのことで、貴重な乗馬体験ができて楽しかったです。

Although the clouds rolled in and it was crowded, resulting in a long wait time of about four hours, I was so excited that I forgot all about it in an instant. Unfortunately, the camera of the photographer who accompanied me was malfunctioning, so we couldn't capture any photos while flying, but the video turned out well, so I purchased it. I was able to enjoy the scenery while flying, and even though it was scary, I felt it was worth it. I had some trouble with ear equalization, so my ears hurt for a while afterward, and I felt a bit nauseous, but I am filled with the desire to do it again.

雲がかかってしまったり、混んでたのもあって、待ち時間が4時間とかなり長かったですが、そんなことも一瞬で忘れてしまうほどに大興奮しました。
残念ながら、私についてくれたカメラマンのカメラの調子が悪く、飛んでいる時の写真が撮れなかったのですが、ビデオは良く撮れていたので購入しました。
飛んでいる間もしっかり景色を楽しむこともでき、怖かったけどやってよかったと思います。
耳抜きがうまくできなかったので、終わってからもしばらく耳が痛かったのと、少しだけ気持ち悪くなってしまいましたが、またやりたい気持ちでいっぱいです。

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。

Disappointed in our seats for the night show. We booked this so far in advanced and got lousy seats.

The rest of the facility was nice.

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。

My girlfriend and I decided to do this as a spur of the moment adventure and it was well worth it. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable about the sharks we would be seeing. The boat fit 16 people so we were split into two groups of 8 that took turns going into the cage. The cage was large and was able to fit 8 people comfortably. The instant I went underwater there were three sharks just swimming right by the cage. We ended up seeing about 6-8 different sharks and it was a surreal experience. I would highly recommend this trip!

When visiting the Island of O'ahu it makes so much like right to know about the Island you chose. This tour has to be at the Top of your list. You see the Island + Dole Pineapple Plantation + Kualoa Ranch where there are movie sets + horseback riding + ATV tours. My group thanked me for this tour again and again and some went back to take train ride and do Maze at the Pineapple tour.

I normally just stay near Waikiki when I visit Hawaii, but my friends and I decided to rent a car and head out to North Shore this time. It was SOOO worth it! In a nutshell, this tour was amazing! We sailed for an hour along the coast heading north, did a quick detour into Waimea Bay (wicked views!) and then anchored off of Shark's Cove. The water was totally calm and clear, and there were three turtles near the reefs too. Snorkeling was a ton of fun and the captain and crew were great about setting us up with all of the necessary snorkeling equipment and floaties if we needed it. After an hour in the water, we headed back to the pier and I just stretched out on the netting in the front of the boat and relaaaaxed~

Thank you for fantastic afternoon!!!

Our driver AC was great recommend excursion learned a lot great views

I was so scared but it was amazing!! The staff was so funny and so great!! The boat ride alone was so beautiful!! It's a beautiful location!! So many sharks!! They were all around a us!! It was amazing! I highly recommend motion sickness aides if your not use to the boat rocking!! It was a tour I would visit again!!

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!!

I so so so recommend the Surf Bus!! It was one of the best ways to see and experience North Shore! The driver was the best! He have great information and was so funny!! The paddle board was amazing, waterfall beautiful and the beach with snorkeling just awesome!! I recommend wearing water shoes as the rocks can be a little hard on your feet...(waterfall and snorkeling areas) Hands down best your we took!

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！

Second visit to Kualoa Ranch!
Last time I did horseback riding and a jeep tour, so this time I wanted to enjoy more horseback riding and signed up for a two-hour session!
I took a bus transfer to get to Kualoa Ranch. (You can also go by yourself! It takes about 1.5 hours, so if you have the early tour, it’s risky if you miss the bus.)
We arrived a bit early, so we took photos of the horses and the mountains to make use of our time.
You can store your valuables in a coin locker for $5 (you get $3 back).
After watching a simple Japanese video, it was time for horseback riding!
They seem to select a horse that suits each person.
The horses are very smart and didn’t act up at all.
It might get a bit boring towards the end, but I felt that one hour wasn’t enough, so I was satisfied.
We also saw places used for movie filming, but since the explanations were in English, I couldn’t understand anything at all. We were at the back, so when they explained at the front, we couldn’t hear anything...
There is a guide at the back too, but there weren’t any explanations like that.

They took a photo of me and my friend with my camera (just once though).
By the way, you can buy a photo of yourself on the horse for $15.

Riding through the forest while looking at the sea and mountains was very enjoyable.
Thank you!

二回目のクアロア牧場！
前回は乗馬＋ジープツアーだったので、今回はたっぷり乗馬を楽しみたいと思い、二時間で申込しました！
クアロア牧場へはバスを乗り継ぎ、行きました。（自力でも行けます！！1.5hぐらいかかるので、朝一のツアーだと、バスを逃したら危険です。）
私たちは早めに着いてしまったので、馬の写真や山の写真を撮り、時間を活用していました。
貴重品は5ドルでコインロッカーに預けることが出来ます！（3ドルバックされます）
簡単な日本語のビデオを見て、いざ乗馬！
おそらくその人に合った馬をセレクトされています。
馬もとても賢く、暴れることもありませんでした。
ちょっと後半は飽きるかもしれませんが、1時間では物足りないと感じたので満足です。
映画の撮影に使われた場所なども見ますが、英語での説明につき、まったく理解出来ませんでした。そもそも、私たちは後ろのほうにいたので、先頭で説明されるとまったく聞こえず、、、
後ろにもガイドはいますが、とくにそういった説明はありません。

持参したカメラで友達と写真も撮ってくれました。（一回だけだけど）
ちなみに15ドルで自分が馬に乗った写真を買うことも出来ます。

林の中を進み、海や山を眺めながらの乗馬はとても楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

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。。

Both the half-day tour and the Polynesian Cultural Center were enjoyable and packed with activities (^_^)v. The night show was wonderful, and the final fire performance was amazing. The guide was great, and I had a full day of fun. Considering the differences in dinner options, the seating for the show, and the backstage tour, I think it was worth it to go deluxe.

半日観光とポリネシア文化センターどちらも楽しく盛りだくさん(^_^)v
ナイトショーも素敵でした。最後のファイヤーパフォーマンスは凄かったです。
ガイドの方も良かったですし、一日たっぷり楽しめました。
夕食内容の違いとショーの席の場所、バックヤード見学を含めるとデラックスにしてよかったと思いました。

We were in Hawaii for our 20th Anniversary and attended Luaus and Dinner Cruises. The PCC had a better dinner than either of the others and my wife loved the show! I visited for the first time 30 years ago, enjoyed it then and will definitely be back. Best experience for the money without a doubt!

Very wonderful experience. Took full advantage of the different villages. Timeline makes it so you don't have to wait long between performances. Employees gladly and excitably answer questions. Wonderful event for families.

was great with all the activities. lots of memory

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。
