All Reviews for North Shore, Oahu

Last time on the North Shore tour, we visited various places and had a packed schedule with no time to spare, so this time I participated in the shuttle service and mini tour. The driver was Japanese, which made me feel at ease.

We went to North Shore Beach early in the morning and saw many sea turtles. Since we arrived at the opening time for shave ice and huli huli chicken, we didn't have to wait in line too long.

We also visited food trucks and did some shopping while participating in the mini tour. It was a very fulfilling experience.

前回のノースショアツアーは、色々な場所へ行き、予定詰め詰めで時間がなかったので、今回は送迎とミニツアーに参加しました。ドライバーは日本人の方で安心できました。
朝早くからノースショアビーチに行き、ウミガメが沢山見えました。
シェイブアイス、フリフリチキンも開店時間に行ったので、そんなに並ばななかったです。
フードトラック、買い物もして、ミニツアーに参加しました。
とても充実できました。

We decided to take on skydiving, a dream we've had as a couple for many years. Go Jump, which has been featured on TV programs in Japan, has instructors who are incredibly friendly and kind, making it easy to trust them even for a first-time challenge. The check-in process at the front was very smooth. We received the photos and videos we had pre-ordered via email, allowing us to enjoy the experience from start to finish. We are truly grateful to everyone at Go Jump.

夫婦で長年の夢だったスカイダイビングを挑戦することに。日本国内でもテレビ番組で放送されたことのあるGo Jumpは、インストラクターの皆さんがとにかくフレンドリーで優しく、初めてのチャレンジでも安心して身を任せることができました。フロントでの受付もとてもスムーズです。前もって申し込んでいた写真や動画をメールで頂き、最初から最後まで心から楽しめました。Go Jumpの皆さんに心から感謝しています。

As a couple who are huge fans of the Jurassic series, this was a place we absolutely wanted to visit for our honeymoon. It was my first time riding a horse, so I was a bit nervous, but there was a proper briefing beforehand, and all the horses were well-behaved, so I had no worries during the ride. The highlight, without a doubt, is the breathtaking view! The scenery is beyond description, and I highly recommend it.

夫婦でジュラシックシリーズの大ファンなので、新婚旅行でどうしても訪れたかった場所です。お馬さんに乗るのも初めてだったので緊張しましたが、きちんと前もってのレクチャーもありましたし、お馬さんたちもみんなお利口さんなので、乗馬中は心配なかったです。見どころは、なんといってもその絶景！見晴らしの良さは説明不要で、是非ともおすすめしたいです。

You should try skydiving at least once in your life! I wanted to create the best memories in Hawaii, so I booked a skydiving experience. I had watched videos on YouTube beforehand, but it was much scarier than I had imagined. It became a lifelong memory!

一生に一度はスカイダイビングを！
ハワイで最高の思い出を作りたい！
と思い、スカイダイビングを予約しました。事前にyoutubeなどで動画を観ていましたが、想像してたよりもずっと怖かったです。一生の思い出になりました！

Experiencing skydiving in Hawaii, something I've always wanted to do, was amazing! 😊 From the very beginning, I felt no fear at all, only excitement, and when I jumped, the view opened up and the fun doubled! The instructor kept the energy high before the jump, during the flight, and after landing, which was absolutely fantastic!

There wasn't much waiting time, and although there were some clouds, the weather was good! In fact, jumping from above the clouds allowed for the rare experience of bursting through the clouds during free fall and then seeing the view spread out before me, which was great!

I will definitely come back to dive again! 🪂

ずっとやりたいと思っていたスカイダイビングをハワイという地で体験出来て最高でした😊
自分の場合最初から怖さは全くなく楽しみしかなくていざ飛んだ時にブワって景色が見えて楽しさがさらに倍増しました！
インストラクターも飛ぶ前からセスナの中、飛んでる間、飛んだ後もすごくテンションを上げてくれてめちゃくちゃ最高だった！

待ち時間もそこまでなく、雲は多少あったのですが、天気は良かったです！
でも逆に雲の上から飛ぶので、フリーフォールで雲の中を抜けた後に景色がブワって広がる貴重な体験が出来たので良かったです！

また絶対ダイブしにきます🪂

This was my second experience. It had been six years since my last visit, and I was impressed by how well-trained the horses are, just like before. They let you ride alone right away, and you get to experience long rides for extended periods, which is a riding style that you wouldn't find in Japan—it's truly moving!

During my first visit, they took many more photos, so I thought it would have been nice if they could have changed the order a bit so that I could have had my picture taken while riding as well. Since my family was at the front, I was disappointed that no one could take my picture.

2度目の体験です。今回は6年ぶりでしたが、相変わらずよくトレーニングされている馬さんたちで感心していました。
いきなり一人で乗せてくれるし、しかも長時間長距離を体験させてくれるし、日本では考えられない乗馬スタイルで、感動します！
1回目に行ったときは、もっといろいろな写真を撮ってくださったので
できたら、進順番を変えてくれると、私も乗っている姿を写真に撮ってもらえたのかなーと思いました。家族で先頭で乗っていたので、誰にも撮ってもらえず残念でした。

I was very, very satisfied with the experience. Thank you very much. The horse was gentle and made me feel safe. It seems that a family participating in the same tour accidentally got on a different tour's vehicle, which delayed our departure by about 30 minutes, resulting in a shorter stay at Dole Plantation, and that was disappointing.

とてもとても満足な内容でした。
有難うございます。
馬は大人しいし安心です。
同じツアーに参加のご家族が　違うツアーの車に乗ってしまったようで　３０分程出発が遅れ　ドールプランテーションの滞在が少なくなり　そこが残念でした。

You can see the culture and dances of the region in each section. It was fun just being there! I accidentally forgot to book the evening luau, so next time I want to see it with the luau included.

セクションごとにその地域の文化や踊りを見ることができる。
いるだけで楽しかった！
間違えて夜のルアウを予約し忘れてしまったので次回はルアウ付きで見たい

I had to retire midway, but there were no regrets afterward. It was lonely. The staff were kind, there were various attractions, and the scenery was beautiful.

途中でリタイヤしたけれど　あとのホローはなし　寂しいな
スタッフの方々は　親切で　いろんなアトラクションが有り　景色もよかったよ

It was a wonderful tour where I could fully enjoy the nature, culture, and local flavors of Hawaii. I had a great experience!

Thanks to the precise advice given after asking what I wanted to do at each location, I truly had no wasted time and was able to enjoy everything I wanted to do.

The pineapple I received as a souvenir was cut and eaten fresh with my child at the condominium, and we also enjoyed it as frozen pineapple.

I was worried about whether we could finish it, but it was so delicious that we quickly finished one! At this rate, it seems like it will be gone by tomorrow, haha.

I will definitely repeat this experience!!!

ハワイの自然、文化、そして地元の味を存分に楽しめた素晴らしいツアーでした。大変良い体験をしました！
それぞれの場所で何をしたいのか質問して下さり、的確なアドバイスをして頂いたおかげで本当に無駄な時間がなく、かつ全てやりたい事は満喫する事ができました♪
お土産で頂いたパイナップルはコンドミニアムで子供とカットして生で食べたり、冷凍パインにして楽しみました(*^^*)
食べきれるか心配でしたが、あまりの美味しさにあっという間に１つ完食！！
このペースで食べたら明日にはなくなりそうです笑
絶対リピートします！！！

The doll factory tour was overwhelming with its vast pineapple fields, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of nature. The guide's explanations were very clear, and I learned a lot of things I didn't know about how pineapples grow and their history!

What impressed me the most was how kind the guide was! Whenever I asked questions, they answered patiently and greeted me with a smile, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

I gained knowledge, was healed by the scenery, and it was a truly satisfying experience.

Additionally, the sightseeing in Haleiwa Town, downtown, and the macadamia nut outlet was well-timed, allowing us to enjoy the attractions while also having enough time to explore the town freely.

I've been to Hawaii many times, but there were so many new discoveries, and it was fun! I highly recommend it to both first-timers and those who have been here multiple times!

ドール工場見学は、広大なパイナップル畑に圧倒され、自然の美しさを満喫。ガイドさんの説明もとてもわかりやすくて、パイナップルの育ち方や歴史など、知らなかったことをたくさん学べました！
何より印象的だったのは、ガイドさんがとても親切だったこと！
わからないことを聞いたら丁寧に教えてくれて、笑顔で接してくれるので、より楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
知識も増えて、景色にも癒やされて、大満足の体験でした。
その他、ハレイワタウンやダウンタウン、マカダミアナッツアウトレットなどの観光も、ツアーの時間配分も良く、観光スポットをじっくり楽しみつつ、自由に町を探索できる時間がちょうど良かったです。
ハワイには何度も来ていますが、新しい発見がたくさんあり楽しかったです(*^^*)
初めての方にも何度も来ている方にもとてもオススメです！

We participated with children aged 7, 12, and 14. The kids were able to participate safely and had a lot of fun. Although the explanations were in English, there were also materials available in Japanese.

During our time, a Japanese captain kindly taught us various things. We were quite anxious, but we were all very satisfied, including the children.

子供7.12.14歳含めて参加しました。
子供達も安全に参加することができ、とても楽しめました。
英語での説明でしたが、日本語での説明資料もありました。

私どもの時は日本の方が船長さんで親切に色々教えていただき
不安いっぱいでしたが、子供含めて大満足です。

My family and I enjoyed the ATV adventure! Today is our last day here in Hawaii but we are leaving so happy with some fun experiences! The tour guides “ the girls” were so nice and explained to us the story of the place and feeding the animals was so cute we really loved it🤩 until next time Hawaii 🌺Mahalo🙌😎

We climbed Diamond Head and toured around the island, efficiently managing our time and highlighting key points, including camera spots for support. Thanks to this, we were able to explore places like markets, beaches, and coffee farms in depth. I recommend taking a stroll in Haleiwa Town, where you can experience the charm of old Hawaii and enjoy shopping and gourmet food. Even with such a packed day, we weren't tired because we had a car. Personally, I enjoyed lunch at the food court where food trucks gathered. Our guide, J, was friendly and well-connected, which made us feel at ease.

I was able to use it with peace of mind, without any troubles. Thank you very much. I would like to use it again next time.

特にトラブルもなく、安心して利用できました。ありがとうございました。また、次回も利用したいと思います。。

On my first trip to Oahu, I made a light reservation to see the major tourist spots listed in the travel information, but it turned into a memorable tour of a lifetime thanks to our tour guide, Jonah, who took us to places I had never seen or heard of before.

Along the way, he provided explanations about upscale neighborhoods, beaches, buildings, and facilities. At the Kahuku Sugar Mill, he introduced us to delicious eateries and clean restrooms, and at the North Shore Marketplace, he highlighted famous stores.

Additionally, he made stops at photo spots not included in the tour schedule, introduced us to them, and took photos. He even stopped the car so we could see seals and sea turtles, always making an effort to keep us entertained. At the coffee factory, he even brought samples for us to taste.

初めてのオアフ島で、観光情報に載っているメジャーな場所を見ておこうと軽い気持ちで予約しましたが、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、一生の思い出に残る周遊ツアーとなりました。

道中、高級住宅街やビーチ、建物、施設等の説明をしてくれたり、カフクシュガーミルでは美味しい店や綺麗なトイレの紹介、ノースショアマーケットプレイスでは有名な店舗の紹介までしてくれました。

また、ツアースケジュールに含まれていないフォトスポットでの停車・紹介・写真撮影や、アザラシやウミガメを見るために車を停めて見に連れていってくれたり、常に楽しませてくれようと努力してくれました。コーヒー工場では試飲まで持参してくれました。

I have been interested in this for 40 years, and now that I'm turning 60 next year, I've made up my mind to try it. Honestly, I thought it would be absolutely impossible to jump from such a high place because it scared me, but once I actually did it, I awakened to a new perspective on life. I will do it again next year. There is no experience quite like this!

Osakasayama City.

40年前から興味はあったのでやってみたいと思いつつ来年60歳になるんで覚悟決めました。あんな高い所から飛ぶなんて正直怖くて絶対に無理と思ってましたがいざやってみると人生感覚に目覚めます。又来年もやります。こんな素晴らしい体験は無いでね〜

I've wanted to try skydiving for many years, and this year I decided to take the plunge with my wife. We were picked up from our hotel, and the tension started in the car. On the day of the jump, the weather was perfect. I ended up upgrading from 14,000 feet to 18,000 feet without thinking twice.

The result was absolutely right. A world beyond my imagination unfolded, and it was a dreamlike experience. I had requested a video, and I've watched it multiple times, reliving that excitement. Along with the beautiful scenery of Hawaii, it has become a lifelong memory for me.

長年やってみたいと思っていたスカイダイビング。思い切って今年は妻とチャレンジすることにしました。ホテルに迎えにきていただき、車の中から緊張感が始まりました。当日は、最高の天気。思わず14000フィートから18000へグレードアップしてしまいました。
結果は大正解。想像以上の別世界が広がり、夢のような時間でした。ビデオをお願いしていましたが、何度も見返し、あの感動が蘇りました。ハワイの素敵な景色と共に、私の一生の思い出になりました。

The crew was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the sharks and ocean life!! A win!

brought my daughter and her high school senior girlfriends and they said this course was just unreal - amazing view!

The North Shore had some of the best food we got to eat on this trip! We love it there

The guide was really greatduring the whole day checking in on my family and knows so much on Oahu

I participated in the Haleiwa walking tour.
The flow was from Dole Plantation to exploring Haleiwa. Due to multiple courses sharing the same shuttle, the stay at Dole Plantation was only 30 minutes. I hurried through shopping and had some soft serve ice cream, so it would have been nice to have about 15 more minutes there.
The time spent exploring Haleiwa was a generous 4 hours, which was just right for enjoying the ocean, visiting cafes, and having lunch.
Gem, who provided the shuttle service, was very knowledgeable and shared information about Hawaii's history, climate, and other interesting facts along the way, which was extremely educational!

ハレイワ散策コースに参加しました。
Dole プランテーション→ハレイワ散策という流れでした。同じ送迎車複数のコースの方がいらっしゃる関係でDole プランテーションの滞在時間が30分でした。駆け足でショッピングをしソフトクリームを食べたので、あと15分くらい滞在時間があったらよかったです。
ハレイワ散策はたっぷり4時間あり、海を見たりカフェに行ったり、ランチをしたりして過ごすとちょうど良かったです。
送迎をしてくださったGemさんはとでも知識豊富でハワイの歴史や気候、そのほか他人に教えてくなるようなハワイについての情報を道中で教えてくださり、非常に勉強になりました！

I went horseback riding. The horse was calm, and the instructor was very friendly. They primarily communicate in English, but for those who are not comfortable with English, they provide important instructions (like the horse's seating position) in Japanese. The scenery was also wonderful, and I felt it was worth participating.

If there are few activities, the waiting time for the return bus can be long, but if you inform the reception, you can take the city bus back to the Waikiki area. There is a bus stop about a 4-5 minute walk from Kualoa Ranch, and the travel time is about the same as the shuttle, around one hour. It costs $3 per person, but if horseback riding is the only activity and you have to wait nearly three hours for the shuttle, taking the city bus is a good way to make effective use of your time. For those who find the city bus a bit daunting, you can also call an Uber or a taxi, which might be another option.

乗馬をしました。馬は大人しく、インストラクターさんは非常に気さくで基本的には英語対応ですが、英語が苦手な方には、重要な点(馬の座り位置など)は日本語で指示を出してくれます。景色も素晴らしく参加して良かったと思いました。

アクティビティが少ないと帰りのバスまでの待ち時間が長いのですが、受付に申し出れば市バスでワイキキエリアへ帰ることが可能です。クアロア牧場から歩いて4-5分のところにバス停があり、移動時間は送迎と同じ1時間程度でした。3USD/人かかりますが、アクティビティが乗馬だけで送迎のバスまで3時間近く待つ日程だったので時間を有効活用したい方は市バスで帰るのはありかと思います。
市バスがハードルが高い方はUber、タクシーも呼べるのでそれもありかもしれないです。

I couldn't find the sign listed on the website, but there was a similar sign for "Hawaii Polo Oceanfront Trail Rides" nearby. When I went inside to ask, they confirmed that this was the right place. It might be better to aim for this name from the start.

I had heard from reviews that there would be Japanese guidance available, but I couldn't find any, and all the explanations were in English. I was quite anxious since there were only foreign customers, but the operation was easy, and the staff were kind, so I was able to ride without any worries.

We walked through the pine forest right next to the coast, and occasionally, we got to walk on the beach, making for a fantastic location throughout the experience. They also take photos when you reach the beach.

I think this is an activity that you absolutely must experience when you come to Hawaii. I highly recommend it! (However, I think it may not be suitable for those who are experienced riders and want to run or perform advanced maneuvers, as it is a slow-paced ride.)

サイトに載っている看板は見当たらず、よく似た名前の「Hawaii Polo Oceanfront Trail Rides」という看板がすぐ近くにあり、中に入って聞いてみるとここで合っているとの事。最初からこの名前の看板を目掛けて行った方がいいかもしれません。
あと口コミで日本語の案内が置いてあると聞いていましたがどこにも無く、説明も全てオールイングリッシュ、外国のお客さんばかりで不安でいっぱいでしたが、操作も簡単でスタッフの方も優しく、何も心配なく乗ることができました。
海岸すぐ横の松林を歩き、たまに広いビーチになるとビーチを歩く瞬間もあり、終始最高のロケーションの中楽しく過ごすことができました。
途中ビーチに出た時に写真も撮ってくれます。
ハワイに来たら絶対に体験した方がいいアクティビティだと思います。
本当にオススメです！！(但し乗馬に慣れていて自分で走らせたり上級の操作をしたい方には不向きだと思います…終始ゆっくりゆっくり歩くだけなので^^;)

The guys were great, there were a ton of sharks. Just wish they would have given a little bit of instruction as to the use of the snorkel. I spent a fair amount of time afraid I wasn’t using it properly and would inhale the water. Otherwise it was a super experience! I would definitely recommend Hawaii Shark Experience.

I participated with my daughter from early morning. We had a private tour and were taken to a delicious garlic shrimp restaurant, where we were able to take a lot of photos. Thank you, Jonah!

ジョナさん　ありがとうございました‼️

There was no turbulence on the flight, and before I knew it, I was up in the sky! After arriving, I was quickly dropped off, and after enjoying the breathtaking views, I found myself back on the ground in no time! It was a valuable experience, and I had so much fun! I want to fly again and again!

飛行機の揺れがなくあっという間に空の上だった！着いてからはポンポン落とされ、絶景を満喫したらあっという間に地上にいた！貴重な経験で本当に楽しかった！また何回でも飛びたい！

This tour is a must our tour guide/ Bus Driver Bill was Fantastic and Awesome!! The entire tour was great will definitely use you guys again

I'm glad I took on the challenge despite my anxiety! I want to try skydiving again from a higher altitude! The instructor was very kind as well. The local fuel surcharge could be paid by credit card.

不安もありつつ挑戦してよかったです！またスカイダイビングもっと高度なところから挑戦したいです！インストラクターさんもとても親切でした。
現地払いの燃油サーチャージはクレジットカード支払いできました。
