Hawaii
This adventure delivers on exactly what it offers. If you've seen the shark specials on the discovery channel this will be very similar except for the fact that YOU are up close and personal with the sharks. Bring waterproof camera for great shots. I didn't have one but I brought my live action camera and filmed some great footage from on the boat.
Guides are excellent. There is something going on all the time. Too much to see in 1 day. We'll definitely go back. The Luau was fantastic and the Horizons show was outstanding!
This experience was the best thing I have ever done in my short time on this earth! Even though I was seasick I still had the time of my life. The captain made sure everything was as safe and controlled. These sharks were not aquarium sharks! These beautiful creatures were enormus, full of spledor and power. I was amazed to see in real life. If or when I return to the island I will do this adventure again. Don't miss the opportunity to get in the cage you only live once, Seize the Day!
My husband and I spent the day at the Cultural Ctr. the day after Christmas. Our tour escort "Cousin Will" picked us up at our hotel and guided us through the various villages throughout the day. It was an educational day and a lot of fun as well. We learned so much about the different cultures, their language, their dance and their stories. The luau was fun and tasty. The Horizon's show was a spectacular finale of the day, the best show on the island of Oahu. I would recommend this experience for any first timers to the islands of Hawaii. And it's true that you can't see everything in one day. I wish we could have stayed longer. Enjoy!
We had the good fortune to have a young whale in a frisky mood breaching several times. The staff was very thoughtful, one of them loaning his windbreaker to our 7 year old. A great outing!
What a fantastic all-day affair!! The frequent "say aloha" prompts from the tour guides was a bit much and got old, but the actual activity was a fabulous and impressive one. We hope to return to Hawaii someday and will repeat this one. Do be aware that they charge extra for a tour guide, but it is worth it for the first time.
I had a great time. The crew was outstanding and helpful. The ocean was really rough and I got thrown around in the cage a little. Plenty of sharks and a great experience.
I have been to this Center multiple times. And I will probably go back again some time. I continue to take friends and family to this Center as I find the educational value significant. I also enjoy the talents of the people and enjoy the food. This is a great place to visit.
My favorite part of the experience was seeing the Samoan fire dancer at the end of the evening show, "Horizons". It was a beautiful, exciting and fun performance! He was also doing a cooking demonstration earlier that day at the Samoan camp. He was funny, charming, and kept us smiling. You can tell that he really loves what he does. I also loved how everyone who worked at the park seemed excited to share their culture.
This is a wonderful place to visit -- enjoyed with our children and would make a repeat visit.
A cool way to tour the island to see what you want to see. Our bus driver, Ben, was delightful!
A fabulous time! We hired our guide, Mose, for $10 to take us on a tour. Couldn't have seen as much as we did without him! Need more than one day to do this attraction fully.
I could not go in the cage as the mask interfered with my dentures but as it was my grandaughter's birthday gift...it was fun to watch her and I could see lots of sharks from the boat (even though it was very rough water).
This was my first experience with horseback riding, and it was a valuable experience. The instructor spoke a little Japanese, which made it easy to understand. The horses were calm, and they walked according to the course, so there were no issues for beginners. It was unfortunate that the weather was bad, but the scenery of the grasslands spread out among the high mountains was wonderful.
今回乗馬が初めてで、貴重な体験をしました。インストラクターの方も少し日本語が話せて分かりやすかったです。
馬もおとなしく、特にコースに合わせて歩いてくれるので、初心者でも問題ありません。
天気が悪くて残念だったけど、高い山の中で広がる草原の風景はすばらしかったです。

If you're going to fall, go bungee jumping.
If you want to fly, try skydiving.
Honestly, I had high expectations for the "1-2 minutes of free fall," but when it comes to diving from above the clouds, it feels too high to really experience the fall. You just spin a few times for a moment after jumping (are you swaying?), and then you play around with the strong winds. Once the parachute opens, you start to understand what it feels like to be a bird, and the refreshing sensation takes over.
The good weather probably helped, but the dedicated Cessna was also incredibly stable. Compared to a commercial airplane moving through the air currents, there was virtually no vertical shaking.
Actually, the day before, I heard from a scuba diving instructor about another company where 5-6 people have had incidents each year, so I felt relieved to have chosen this place.
Both before and after the jump, everyone was really relaxed and willing to take photos, which suited me perfectly.
As a keepsake, I bought a T-shirt that the instructor was wearing, but $18 felt a bit pricey... (well, I guess it's like a tip).
Mr. Tim is a bit cheeky, but he's a really great guy!
落ちるならバンジー。
空を飛ぶならスカイダイビング。
正直、「１~２分の自由落下」の期待は高かったんですが、
雲の上からのダイブとなると高すぎて落ちる実感沸かないし、
飛び降りた瞬間だけ数回転しながら落ちる（揺れてる？）程度で
あとは強風と戯れて、パラシュートが開けば
鳥の気持ちが理解出来るかなってな感じで
爽快感の方が勝る。ってな具合でした。
天気が良かったせいもあるでしょうが
専用セスナも実に安定してますね。
気流の中を進む旅客機に比べれば縦揺れ感覚も皆無でした。
実は前日に何処とは言えませんが
他会社で年間５~６人が○○してる話を
スキューバダイビングのインストラクターから聞いていて
ココにして良かったという安心感があったのも事実です
飛ぶ前も飛んだ後もの~んびりしてて、
気軽に写真に応じてくれるし自分には合ってました
記念にインストラクターも着てるＴシャツ買ったんですが、
＄１８はちっと高い気も・・・（まぁチップの感覚で）
ティム先生はあつかましいけど非常にイイ奴ですよ

My 9-year old and I went horseback riding and we had a blast. She is a little horse lover. The guide was a lot of fun and was very knowledgeable about the somewhat historic ranch. The view from the top of the mountain was beautiful. I would definitely do it again!
I would highly reccomend this to anyone! Best excursion I have ever done. I would have done it everyday if I could have.
This was a great adventure! Being in the cage is extremely rough, and you have to hold on to avoid getting thrown around by the huge waves, but this is a small problem! There must have been at least 15-20 sharks (Galapagos and sandbar sharks) swimming all around, and rubbing on the cage! I would recommend this activity to anyone who can handle a rough ocean. It was one of the best things we did in Hawaii!! Take anti-nausea pills, as the waves are huge, and the boat rocks hard (even for those who don't think they get seasick).
I felt that this was an outstanding value for the money. The whole experience was not only entertaining but educational as well.
The ride takes you through the valley of the Koolau Mountains. The views are grogeous! The horses are well trained so there is no problems for first timers. Our guides, Christine and Suzanna are wonderful and enthusiastic. They were a lot of fun and brought great energy to the group. The view of the mountains and ocean will definitely make you appreciate the beauty of Hawaii.
This was by far and away the most amazing experience of my life. Anyone that is coming to hawaii should go out and get in the water with these beautiful creatures. Its an experience unlike any other.
The polynesian cultural center is pretty cool. Anybody visiting Hawaii for the first time should check it out.
it was great and one day is definitely not enough time to see and learn all that is at the Polynesian Cultural Center
I did this with my 23 year old daughter and we both felt that this was an outstanding activity! The ride was great - some hills, windy trails, spectacular views, just the right length - 90 minutes. The staff was super - Darleena couldn't have been better - so knowledgeable, friendly and patient! The horses were very calm and perfect for this type of ride. We both agree that this is one of the best things we've done on Oahu. We've already recommended Gunstock Ranch to other family members that are planning to visit Hawaii. (I'll send photos later)
Our guide was very poor.We didn't get to see anything. You need a full day to see everything before the luau.The luau was very poor.The evening show was the best part of the experience.
Aloha! The trip was great and the stops where just right. Keao, our driver and guide had everyone laughing and singing during most of the trip. That just added to the fun! Mahalo Keao for helping to make my 50th birthday one I will never forget! V.J.
It was an amazing experience! I was so thrilled to see a shark so close up! The crew was great and very friendly.
I had wanted to try this for a long time, and it was incredibly exciting. We did various activities this time, but this was number one. I highly recommend it! I wanted to take photos, but it would have been better if it were a bit cheaper. The collared shirt flapped around and was uncomfortable while flying, so be careful.
前々からやってみたかったのですが 大興奮でした。 今回いろいろなアクティビティーをやりましたがナンバー１です 超おすすめです 写真を撮りたかったのですが もう少し安かったら良かったです 襟付きシャツは飛んでいる時バタついて痛いです注意しましょう

For those who find sightseeing horseback riding insufficient, I think you'll enjoy it as they can adjust the pace to your level, allowing for faster trots and gallops.
観光乗馬では物足りない方には、レベルに合わせて早足や駈けさせてくれるので、楽しめると思います。

We had a wonderful time.
