All Reviews for North Shore, Oahu

I started with a hike up Diamond Head and had a fulfilling day visiting various places. The guide provided a lot of information at key points and shared interesting stories, which made it enjoyable. They also helped by taking many photos. I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Hawaii.

ダイヤモンドヘッド登山からスタートして1日充実したスケジュールでいろんな場所に行けました。
ガイドさんが要所要所で様々な情報を教えて下さったり面白い話をして下さったりと…楽しかったです。沢山写真も撮って下さり助かりました。
またハワイに来た際には是非参加したいです。

Thanks to our guide Jonah, we had the best day! His Japanese was excellent, and while driving, he explained the area and always asked if we wanted to take family photos when we arrived at our destination, which we really appreciated! He also provided us with water, which was very helpful! Thank you so much, Jonah, for your early morning efforts! If possible, I would love to request Jonah again!

ガイドのジョナさんのお陰で最高の１日を過ごす事ができました！
日本語がとても上手で、車の運転中にはその土地の説明や、目的地に着いたら必ず写真撮りましょうか？と家族写真を撮ってくださり、本当にありがたかったです！
お水も用意していただき大変助かりました！
ジョナさん、朝早くから本当にありがとうございました♪指名できるのであれば、またジョナさんにお願いしたいと思います！

Diamond Head was tough to climb, but I was able to capture the sunrise, so it was great! Above all, our tour guide, Joa, was amazing! His Japanese was excellent, and he took us around to various spots for photos, making it a wonderful memory!

ダイヤモンドヘッドは登るの大変だったけど、朝日も撮れたし良かったです！
何よりツアーガイドのジョアさんが最高でした！
日本語も上手だし、色々周って写真も撮ってくれて最高の思い出になりました！

The weather was great, and I'm glad I went on the North Shore tour. The last time I went, I didn't have a very good impression, but this time the guide was amazing. Their explanations, attentiveness, and proactive photo-taking were all excellent. I would love to go with this guide again next time. Thank you! 😊

天候にも恵まれノースショアツアーは行って良かったって感じです
以前行った時は余り良い感じを持たなかったのですが今回はガイドさんが最高でした
説明や気配り、積極的⤵︎な写真撮影　どれも👌でした
又次回もこのガイドさんなら一緒に行きたいですね
ありがとうございました😊

It was an English-guided tour, but our driver, Chris, could speak Japanese as his grandparents were from Naha, Okinawa. The bus was a large one with a restroom in the back, but there were only four participants, including myself, which made it very comfortable.

On the way to Dole Plantation, we could enjoy sightseeing from the bus window, including the statue of King Kamehameha. At Dole Plantation, we had 90 minutes of free time, and in Haleiwa, we had just over two hours. It's nice to have the freedom to explore Haleiwa at my own pace and eat lunch wherever I like, rather than being on a tightly scheduled tour.

The meeting point was in front of Ross Dress for Less on Seaside Avenue, but on the way back, Chris dropped us off near our hotel. Thank you, Chris!

英語ガイドのツアーでしたが、ドライバーのクリスさんは祖父母の方が沖縄の那覇出身らしく日本語も話せました。後方にトイレも付いている大型のバスですが、当日の参加者は私も含めて4名だけ。とても快適でした。

ドールプランテーションまでの道中も、カメハメハ大王像などの観光を車窓からでき、ドールプランテーションでは90分、ハレイワの町では2時間強のフリータイムがありました。キツキツの行くところが決まったツアーより、こういう自分のペースでハレイワの町を散策でき、ランチも好きなところで食べられるのはいいですね。

集合場所は、SeasideアベニューのRoss dress for lessの前でしたが、帰りはホテルの近くで降ろしてくれました。クリスさん、ありがとうございました！

This was a great tour and our guide was amazing. We will do this again next time we are there.

Phenomenal experience with horses, the ocean and a great group of nice people.

I participated alone, but I can confidently say there is no thrill that surpasses this. The breathtaking view of Hawaii from 4,000 meters above ground was stunning.

一人で参加しましたが、これを超える絶叫はないと確信できました。地上4,000メートルから望むハワイの絶景は圧巻でした。

I was taken to many places in Hawaii that are hard to reach without a car, and I was truly satisfied with the enjoyable tour thanks to the driver's thoughtful care and fun stories! It's a wonderful, homey tour! I highly recommend it! ^_^

ハワイの周遊で車がないとなかなか行けないところにたくさん連れて行っていただき、ドライバー兼ガイドさんの細やかな気遣いと楽しいお話で本当に楽しい周遊ツアーで大満足でした!
アットホームな素敵なツアーです！オススメです^_^

My sisters and I decided to take our elderly mother to Oahu for the first time, and I wanted to show her the major tourist spots, so I made a reservation.

Since we went to Diamond Head early in the morning, it wasn't hot, and our elderly mother was able to reach the summit with ease.

Our tour guide, Jonah, took us to places we had never seen or heard of before, making it a memorable tour for all of us sisters and our mother.

Along the way, Jonah, who is very knowledgeable, explained about the upscale neighborhoods, beaches, buildings, and facilities. He made an effort to keep us entertained by introducing famous stores and taking photos at various spots.

We were also able to fulfill our long-held wish of eating garlic shrimp at Giovanni's, which made us very satisfied!

Thank you so much, Jonah!

姉妹で高齢の母を初めてオアフ島に連れて行く事になり、観光情報に載っているメジャーな場所を見せてあげたいと思い予約しました。

ダイヤモンドヘッドも早い時間だったので、暑くなく高齢の母も軽快に頭頂する事ができました。

初めての見聞きした場所までツアーガイドのジョナさんが連れて行ってくれて、私達姉妹も母も一生の思い出に残る周遊ツアーとなりました。

道中、知識豊富なジョナさんが高級住宅街やビーチ、建物、施設等の説明をしてくれました。
行く先々で有名な店舗の紹介やフォトスポットでの撮影など、常に楽しませてくれようと努力してくれました。

念願のジョバンニでガーリックシュリンプを食べることもでき大満足でした！

ジョナさん♡Thank you so much！

The horses were well-trained and moved almost automatically. If you're mainly riding, it might feel a bit lacking. Perhaps because it was raining, the similar scenery made the two hours feel long. It might be better if it were sunny? I got excited when passing by a herd of cows; they were so cute!

馬たちはよく調教され、ほぼ自動で動いてくれました。乗馬をメインで行ったら少し物足りないかもしれません。雨だったからか、似たような景色で2時間は長く感じました。晴れだったらいいかも？牛の大群とすれ違う時は可愛くてテンション上がりました！

I wanted to explore the northern part from the east, and after considering various options like buses or rental cars, I felt a bit anxious... then I found the perfect tour!

Our guide, Jonah, spoke fluent Japanese and provided a lot of information during the journey, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful scenery. With restroom breaks included, we hit all the key points, such as Leonard's Malasadas and the macadamia nuts from Tropical Farms (which I was curious about thanks to Risa Nakazato's recommendation, haha), along with China Man's Hat (where we even saw a honu!), and we had a lunch break at Kahuku Sugar Mill where we could eat whatever we liked! We got to enjoy Giovanni's famous garlic shrimp (and beer, since I wasn't driving!), explore Sunset Beach and Haleiwa, and savor local coffee at Green World Coffee Farm.

It felt like being taken around by a friend who lives there, and the tour was a perfect blend of what travelers are curious about and a chance to learn about Oahu. Thank you!

東から北の方にも行ってみたいが、バス？レンタカー？と色々選択肢を考えたが少し不安…ってところにちょうどいいツアーがありました！
ガイドのジョナさんが流暢な日本語で、移動中もたくさん紹介してくれ、綺麗な景色を楽しめました^-^
トイレ休憩含め、ポイントを押さえてくれているのでレナーズのマラサダやトロピカルファームのマカダミアナッツ(仲里依紗ちゃんオススメで気になっていました笑)、クアロナ・ランチ付近と併せてチャイナマンズハット(ホヌもいました♪)、カフク・シュガーミルで好きなもの食べてね～！ができるランチ休憩(メジャーなジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプ実食&(運転しないから可能な)ビール堪能！)、サンセットビーチやハレイワ散策、グリーンワールドコーヒーファームで地産コーヒー堪能♪

現地に住んでいる友人に観光に連れていってもらった感覚で、旅行客が気になることとオアフ島を知ってほしいを集約させたようなツアーでした♪
ありがとうございました！

I was quite anxious and flustered because the pickup time was significantly delayed. The pickup location, diagonally across from Gyukaku, had a sign in katakana that said "marijuana," which made me even more uneasy.

Although the pickup time was late, the arrival in Haleiwa was on schedule, according to the driver.

In Haleiwa, I was able to leisurely explore places like Matsumoto Shave Ice, Garlic Shrimp, Balance Rock, Patagonia, and Green Room. I've participated in a tour with 3 hours of free time in Haleiwa before, but it felt rushed, so having 5 hours made me feel satisfied.

お迎えの時間が、かなり遅れたので大変不安になり焦りました。ピックアップの場所、牛角の斜め前はカタカナで看板にマリファナと書かれてあり、余計に不安でした。
お迎えの時間は遅れたけど、ハレイワ到着は定刻通りだよと(運転手さん)
ハレイワでは、ﾏﾂﾓﾄｼｪｲﾌﾞｱｲｽ、ｶﾞｰﾘｯｸｼｭﾘﾝﾌﾟ、ﾊﾞﾗﾝｽﾛｯｸ、Patagonia、ｸﾞﾘｰﾝﾙｰﾑなど、ゆっくりと散策できました。
ハレイワ3時間の自由行動のツアーにも参加した事ありますが、バタバタしたので、5時間あると満足できます。

I walked with our guide Ryan in the heat.

He had a wealth of knowledge about plants, animals, and the land, and we enjoyed half a day.

Thank you very much.

暑い中ガイドのRyanさんと歩きました。

植物、動物、そして土地に関する知識も豊富で半日楽しめました。

ありがとうございました。

It was my first time skydiving. I was nervous about what would happen before jumping, but I had a lot of fun flying. I want to challenge myself again next time.

初めてのスカイダイビングでした。飛ぶまではどうなるのか、ドキドキでしたが、楽しく飛べました。また次回もチャレンジしたいと思いました。

Although it was unfortunately a cloudy day, I was able to ride horses around Kualoa Ranch. Riding for about an hour made my backside sore, but it was a wonderful experience. It took over an hour to get from Waikiki to Kualoa Ranch by shuttle bus, but since it was a large tour bus, I was able to sleep soundly without any bumps. The guide who accompanied us on the horseback riding took a photo of me on the horse, but when I looked back later, for some reason, none of the photos were taken, and it's a shame that I don't have any pictures from the ride.

あいにくの曇り空でしたが、馬に乗ってクアロアランチを巡ることができました。1時間ほど馬に乗るので、お尻が痛くなりましたが、とてもいい体験をすることができました。ワイキキからクアロアランチまで送迎バスで1時間以上かかりましたが、大型観光バスだったので、揺れもせず爆睡することができました。乗馬の引率のお姉さんに、馬に乗った自分の写真をカメラで撮っていただいたのですが、あとから見返すとなぜか1枚も撮れておらず、乗馬の写真が残っていないのが残念です。

It was wonderful to be able to slowly see both the sea and the mountains while riding a horse. While it seemed nice to go by car, being able to fully immerse myself in nature while horseback riding was the best.

馬に乗りながら、ゆっくり海も山もみることができてとってもよかったです。
車に乗って行くのも良さそうでしたが、乗馬しながら思う存分自然に触れることができて最高でした。

I had a great time. The ocean was very beautiful and amazing! In the morning, I jumped off the diving rock (it was quite impressive), enjoyed snorkeling, and had a blast in the water. In the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding and strolled around Haleiwa a bit. I was able to play a lot throughout the day.

Everything was in English, so it might be difficult if you can't speak it at all, but the staff were very kind.

とても楽しかったです。海がとてもきれいで最高ですね！午前中は飛び込み岩から飛び込んだり（結構すごいですよ)、シュノーケルをして海遊びを満喫し、午後はサップをして少しハレイワの街を散策しました。一日中たっぷり遊べました。
全て英語なので全く話せないと難しいかもしれませんがスタッフの方はとても親切でしたよ。

You can enjoy a horse riding experience for about 70 minutes against the backdrop of the deep blue sea and the pure white sandy beach. Although it's horse riding, you will be walking slowly along a beautiful coastline, making it a very soothing experience. It's charming when the horse occasionally stops to take a break. Since it's on a large private property, there are hardly any people around, creating a completely extraordinary experience. The horses are well-trained, so you hardly need to use the reins. They automatically follow the horse in front, almost like self-driving. Looking back, this was the most wonderful experience of my trip to Hawaii.

真っ青な海と真っ白な砂浜を背景に約70分乗馬体験できます。乗馬といっても素敵な海岸沿いをゆっくりゆっくり歩きますので、とても癒される体験です。途中馬が歩みを止めたりするのもご愛敬。大きな私有地の中なので、ほとんど人もおらず、完全な非日常体験になりました。馬は、よく訓練されているので手綱裁きをほとんど不要です。勝手に前の馬についていくので、自動運転みたいなものでした。今回のハワイ旅行中もっとも素敵な体験であったと振り返りました。

Had a great time would highly recommend! make sure you buy the feed to feed the animals.

Show was great. I would recommend for everyone visiting Hawaii

Starting with guidance in Japanese, I was deeply impressed by the detailed instruction that smoothly integrated simple Japanese and English while riding the horse. Waking up early in the morning to go there was truly a valuable experience.

日本語の案内から始まって、いざ馬に乗っても、片言の日本語や英語を交えてのきめ細かな指導があり、スムーズに馬が動かすことができて大変感動しました。
朝早く起きて行って価値のある経験ができました。

I had various concerns about the detailed timing, gate security, and the route to the front desk, but the tour was fantastic with beautiful scenery and a stunning sunset ride. The staff and the friendly cat at the reception made for a pleasant experience.

細かい時間指定、ゲートのセキュリティ、フロントデスクまでの道のりと色々不安でしたがツアーは景色もサンセットのライドも最高でした。スタッフさんも受付の猫さんもフレンドリーで心地よい時間を過ごすことができました

It was an experience that allowed me to feel the sky, clouds, mountains, sea, and Earth. I thought it might be reckless to take on this challenge in my late 60s, but I'm glad I did it. I felt truly happy to be alive.

空、雲、山、海、地球を感じる体験でした。60歳後半での挑戦は無謀かと思われましたが、やってよかったです。生きていることを心から嬉しく思いました。

The view from above is amazing. While the streets of Waikiki are nice, the suburban environment, scenery, and everything about it is an exquisite space.

上空からの景色は最高です。
ワイキキの街中も良いですが、この郊外の環境、風景、何もかもが極上空間です。

It was my first horseback riding experience, and I felt安心 because there were explanations in Japanese. Riding through the magnificent scenery known as a filming location for movies was truly special, and it became an unforgettable memory where I could fully experience the great nature of Hawaii.

初めての乗馬体験でしたが、日本語説明もあり安心して楽しめました。映画のロケ地として知られる壮大な景色を馬に乗って巡る時間は本当に特別で、ハワイの大自然を全身で感じられる忘れられない思い出になりました。

I experienced seven zip lines, including the longest one in Oahu. Those who joined for their first time were initially nervous, but as they got used to it, they enjoyed sliding backward and headfirst in the second half. The instructors were friendly and helped create a fun atmosphere, making it a very enjoyable experience.

オアフ最長を含む7本のジップラインを体験しました。
一緒に参加したジップラインが初めての人は、最初は恐る恐る滑走していましたが、途中から慣れてくると、後半は後ろ向きや頭を下にしての滑走などを楽しんでいました。
インストラクターの方々も気さくに盛り上げてくれるので、とても楽しめました。

I was quite anxious due to my limited English skills, but I received a very clear explanation of the entire facility from a humorous staff member who spoke Japanese, which eased my tension and made me feel at ease! Before riding, we watched a DVD explaining how to ride, and since it was in Japanese, it was very easy to understand, which was also reassuring! The horses were calm, and I was able to experience everything safely throughout! I was able to feel the great nature that can't be seen in Japan, and it was a truly valuable experience♡

英語力があまりなく、不安だったのですが、日本語を話せるユーモア満載のスタッフさんから初めに施設全体の説明を頂き、とても分かりやすく緊張がいっきに和らぎ安心できました！
乗馬前に乗り方の説明DVDを観るのですが日本語で流れるので、とても分かりやすくその点もとても安心できました！！
お馬さん達も落ち着いていて、終始安全に体験できました！
日本では見られない大自然も感じれて、すごく貴重な経験ができました♡

You will enjoy the train ride with people who are having fun in the maze. After dropping off at Dole, those going horseback riding will spend about 30 to 40 minutes shopping and using the restroom before heading out for the ride.

Since we pass through the town of Haleiwa first, we will explain the locations of restrooms and popular spots often visited by Japanese tourists while heading to the Mokuleia horseback riding area.

Even if it's your first time riding, I think you'll feel comfortable. There is a QR code for a Japanese explanation video that you can scan and watch. There is also an explanation in English. You will be told the name of the horse you will ride before setting off. The view of the beach is very beautiful and moving. You can take photos and videos with your smartphone, and at the turnaround point on the beach, you can also have pictures taken. You will be walking in an area with very little shade.

After that, we will move to Haleiwa, where you can have lunch at your preferred spot. After checking out a few shops, it was almost time to gather again. Matsumoto Shave Ice had an incredible line, so I couldn't manage to get any.

The driver was very talkative, and I was able to hear various interesting stories. For those who can drive, renting a car and going on your own would allow for a more leisurely experience, but for someone like me who can't drive, this tour was very appreciated.

送りはドールで電車、迷路を楽しむ人と一緒です。ドールの方を降ろし乗馬の人はドールで30〜40分ほど買い物、トイレをして乗馬に出発します。
ハレイワの街を先に通過するのでお手洗いの場所や日本人がよく訪れる場所の説明をしながらモクレイアの乗馬場へ向かいます。
乗馬は初めてでも安心して乗れると思います。日本語の説明動画をQRコードで読み取って見られました。英語での説明もあります。自分が乗る馬の名前を教えてもらい出発します。ビーチが見えるととても綺麗で感動します。スマホで写真や動画の撮影もできますし、折り返し地点のビーチでは写真も撮ってもらえます。日陰がほとんどない場所を歩きます。
その後ハレイワに移動しますが昼食を好きなところでとってお店を何軒か見たらすぐに集合時間でした。マツモトシェイブアイスはすごい行列なので無理でした。
運転手の方はとても話好きで色々な話が聞けました。とても興味深い話でした。
車の運転ができる方はレンタカーを借りて自分で行ったほうがゆっくりできますが、できない私にはとてもありがたいツアーでした。

I was initially anxious because it was all in English, but everyone there was kind and attentive. Although I had some worries, as soon as the shuttle arrived, preparations began quickly, and before I knew it, I was on the plane. Things moved along so fast that I didn't have time to be scared; it was just an incredibly fun experience! I received plenty of photos and videos, and I highly recommend it!

英語のみなので最初は不安でしたが、現地の方はみんな優しく丁寧に対応してくれました。
不安な気持ちもありましたが、送迎車が到着すると早々に支度が始まり、あれよあれよという間に飛行機に搭乗して気付いたら飛び出していたくらいに、どんどん進むので怖がる暇がなくて、楽しいだけの最高な体験でした！写真や動画もたくさんもらえてオススメです！
