All Reviews for North Shore Tours & Things To Do

The rocking of the boat while waiting was severe, so those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. There were many sharks swimming, but they lacked impact and were just diving in and out of the water. After that, I continued to suffer from seasickness, and in the end, it became a trip that only left me feeling nauseous. It's disappointing.

待っている間の船の揺れがひどく、船酔いしやすい人は要注意です。
サメもたくさん泳いでいるのですが、迫力はあまりなく、ただひたすら水の中をもぐっているだけでした。
その後も船酔いに悩まされ、結局気持ち悪さだけが残った旅行になりました。
残念です。

I booked a hotel transfer in Waikiki. When I arrived on-site, there were instructions for horseback riding posted in Japanese. Everything else was in English, but the guide at the front provided basic directions like "right" and "left" in broken English. They use horses that have retired from polo, and they were very well-trained and beautiful. The course included muddy areas, steep slopes, and scenery that could only be accessed on horseback, which was quite magical. In the latter part of the ride, I was able to have my picture taken on the horse against a beautiful backdrop of the ocean with my own camera. (There was no pressure to buy photos!!)

ワイキキホテル送迎込を探して申し込みました。現地に到着すると、日本語での乗馬の注意が貼ってありました。その部分以外はすべて英語ですが、基本的な右へ、左へ、は先頭の誘導してくださる方が片言で教えてくれます。POLO競技から引退した馬を使用されているとのことで、とてもしつけの行き届いたキレイな馬でした。ぬかるみや、急勾配、馬でしか立ち入れないようなコースで周りの景色も幻想的でした。後半には海の見える美しい景観の場所で馬に乗った姿を自分のカメラで撮ってもらえました。(写真売りつけたりとかは無いです！！)

It's not scary at all. The cameraman and instructors who fly with you keep you entertained the whole time. The indescribable feeling of falling at such a high speed was amazing. The view of Hawaii from above is also wonderful. Thank you very much, Patrick and Rogers.

ぜんぜん恐くないです。
一緒に飛んでくれるカメラマンとインストラクターの方々がずっと楽しませてくれます。
すごいスピードで落ちていくなんとも言えない感じが最高でした。
上空からみるハワイの景色も素敵です。
PatrickさんRogersさんどうもありがとうございました。

My first skydiving experience. Without much explanation, we had to sign a lot of forms on the bus ride there (^^;)

On the Cessna, a cheerful instructor scared us a bit in English as we climbed to 4,000 meters, and then everyone jumped one after another.

The moment you jump is truly terrifying, but once you're in the air, there's nothing you can do, so you just go with it. The weather was great, and the view of the ocean from above was indescribable.

After it was over, I felt like I wanted to jump again right away; it was such an amazing experience. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to jump again (^_^)

初めてのスカイダイビング。たいした説明もなしに、行きのバスの
中ではたくさんサインさせられます(^^;)

セスナでは、陽気なインストラクターが英語でビビらしながら？
4000mまで行き、そこからはみんなポンポン飛んでいきます。

飛ぶ瞬間は本当に怖いですが、飛んでしまえば、もーどーするこ
ともできないので、あとはなすがまま。天気が良かったので、空
から見る海は何とも言えませんでした。

終わったら、すぐにもう1回飛びたくなるほど、素晴らしい体験が
できました。ハワイに行ったら、また絶対飛びたいです(^_^)

It was my first time in Hawaii, so I signed up for the Haleiwa sightseeing and Dole Plantation tour. The guide was very friendly, making the tour enjoyable. For lunch, the guide took us to eat the recommended shrimp, which was incredibly delicious and had no unpleasant smell at all! It was truly tasty. At the Dole Plantation, the scenery while riding the pineapple train was fantastic. The ice cream was also delicious. The weather was great, making it a perfect day. Thank you very much.

はじめてのハワイでしたので、ハレイワ観光＆ドールプランを申込みしました。
ガイドさんが気さくな方でしたので、楽しい観光となりました。
ランチではガイドさんオススのメエビを食べに連れていってもらいましたが、これがまたとても美味しく臭みもなし！！本当に美味しかったです。ドールプランテーションではパイナップル列車に揺られながら見る景色は最高でしたよ。アイスも美味しかった。また天気もよく最高の1日でした。ありがとうございました。

Had Justin as the guide. Very very good - he made the trip!
Think he managed to talk the entire day(!) and added a lot of interesting and useful information throughout. Wife wanted to try the Shrimp Trucks, so that was her highlight, I wanted to see the large surf, so all-in-all, satisfied all our wants. Highly recommended.

MAXX
My husband and I were so pleased
What a Wondrful young lady so nice and very informative
Made are ride on the beach so relaxing very lovely
THE BEST
THANKS AGAIN

This was my second time skydiving, and perhaps because I felt more at ease than the first time, I enjoyed it even more. I truly believe that skydiving is the best, and the sensation of falling from the sky is exhilarating. I want to go skydiving again when I visit Hawaii.

今回で2回目のスカイダイビングでしたが、1回目より気持ちの余裕があったせいか、1回目より楽しめました。改めてスカイダビングは最高だと思ったし、空から落下してる時の感覚はたまりません。
またハワイに行った時はスカイダイビングをやりたいです。

I had a pleasant horseback riding experience surrounded by a variety of beautiful scenery, including along the coast, in the bushes, and around the pond. My parents, who are in their 60s, were initially a bit nervous but ended up having a great time. It's a given that the horse will poop or stop to graze along the way. Our guide, Katie, was very kind, and the horses were gentle and well cared for. I highly recommend it!

海岸沿いやブッシュの中、池の周りなどバラエティに富んだ景色の中で気持ちよく乗馬を体験できました。最初はおっかなびっくりだった60代の両親も大変楽しんでいました。途中で馬がフンをしたり道草を食ったりするのはお約束。案内してくれたケイティはとても親切でしたし、馬も穏やかでよく世話されていました。オススメです！

I was nervous about my first skydiving experience, but the staff, instructors, and cameraman were all very nice, which made it a great experience.

はじめてのスカイダイビングで不安でしたが、送迎の方、インストラクター、カメラマン皆さんいい人で非常に良かったです。

Just thinking that my 82-year-old mother joined this optional tour simply because she loves horses still gives me butterflies. It was truly a canyon horseback riding plan, just as described. We skillfully navigated narrow paths that barely fit the width of the horses. It's an experience I still can't believe. I wonder how we managed to return safely after walking through such a canyon with a beginner like me. We lined up for a full hour, walking slowly, but there were slopes, narrow paths, and curves, and it seemed my mother was scared until the end. She was desperately talking to the horse to keep it moving. Although they never acted up, being natural creatures, they sometimes stopped to eat grass by the side or just halted, which left us unsure of what to do. However, the horses were truly smart and safely carried us on their backs for an hour. I don't think I'll ever have an experience like this again. I highly recommend it to young people.

馬が好きだと言うことだけで82歳の母をこのオプショナルツアーに参加させたと思うと今でもドキドキします。まさに言葉通りの渓谷乗馬プラン。馬の幅も無いような狭い道を上手進みます。今でも信じられない経験です。こんな初心者を乗せてあんな渓谷を歩いてよく無事に帰ってこれたなと思います。1時間たっぷり1列に並んで、ゆっくりゆっくり歩きますが、坂道があったり細い道があったり、カーブがあったり、最後まで母は怖かったみたいです。一生けん命馬に声をかけて乗せてもらっていました。暴れたりすることは決してないのですが、やはり自然の生き物なので、わきの草を食べたり、止まってしまったりするとどうしていいかわからなくなりました。でも本当にお利口な馬たちで、無事に1時間私たちを背中に乗せて歩いてくれました。こんな経験はもうできないと思います。若い人にお勧めです。

I signed up because I wanted to go horseback riding. There are a total of 9 participants, including the two of us. Before heading to the North Shore, we passed by the high school that Obama attended, and along the way, we were able to hear some stories that are not often shared. Our guide, Nakama, was constantly talking and was very considerate, showing that he was well-informed about history and current events in Hawaii. The horseback riding itself felt like quite a challenging course, but since an 80-year-old grandmother was able to ride, I managed to get through it safely (although I almost fell off while waiting...). I was at the front, riding behind what seemed to be the owner, a funky grandmother who was probably over 70 with long braids. She explained everything in English, but I could only understand simple words, so it would have been very educational if I had been better at English. The content of this tour was more than sufficient. More than that, meeting wonderful people like Nakama became my most cherished memory. Thank you very much.

乗馬がしたくて申込しました。私達2人含め合計9名での参加です。まずはノースショアに向かう前にオバマさんの通った高校を通ったりしながら、道中はなかなか聞けないお話をうかがえました。担当のナカマさんはずーっとしゃべりっぱなしで大変気遣いもあり、歴史やハワイの旬な情報をぬかりなくチェックしているのがわかりました。肝心の乗馬はなかなかキツイコースに感じましたが、80歳のおばあさんも乗れていたので、なんとか無事にこなせました。（待機中落馬しかけましたが・・）私が先頭で、ロング三つ編みのファンキーな70は過ぎているだろう、おばあさんのオーナーらしき人のあとにくっつき乗馬していたのですが、英語でひとつひとつ説明をしてくれているのですが、わたしには簡単な単語しかわからず、英語ができれいれば大変勉強になったはずです。このツアーの中身は充分です。それよりも、ナカマさんのような素晴らしい人たちに出会えたことが一番の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

I was really scared right up until the moment I jumped, but the view from 4,000 meters is exceptional! The instructor and photographer were cheerful and made the few minutes of the dive feel like a week in Hawaii! I absolutely recommend it!

飛ぶ直前迄めちゃ怖かったですが‥4000mからの絶景は格別です❗️インストラクターもカメラマンも陽気で数分のダイブをハワイ7日分楽しましてくれました❗️絶対お薦めです❗️

My husband and I were disappointed with the tour guide. We felt he had a attitude about him and really didn't want to be there. At times we thought he was being rude in his manor and attitude. We went on another tour and the guide was so different and really acted like he wanted to be there. It made a big difference on the tour and made it much more enjoyable. The tour itself was great, but it could of been a lot nicer if the guide was more interested in the people on his bus and what he was doing.

At first, I was anxious, but after reading the experiences of others, my husband and I thought that if they would take videos and photos, it would be worth it. Although I thought the price was high, I decided to go ahead with the purchase. It seemed that the order of the flights was determined by the combination of those who would take photos and those who wouldn’t, and we quickly got our turn. The explanations and practice were brief, which made me wonder if everything would really be okay for the actual jump. My husband’s instructor seemed to skip the practice altogether.

However, once we got on the Cessna, I was captivated by the beauty of the scenery, and my nerves began to ease. Since there were some clouds, we couldn’t ascend to the planned 4,000 meters and instead went up to 3,700 meters, but I felt it was fair that we received a cash back for that.

My instructor kept encouraging me from behind, saying things like "Beautiful, beautiful!" and "Awesome, awesome!" and called my name multiple times, which helped me relax. When it was time to take off, I was taught that the "banana position" was important, and by following that advice, I didn’t feel scared looking down and was able to let myself fall.

I was so focused on following the instructions to raise my hands and maintain the banana position that I didn’t really know what was happening. Then, the photographer waved at me, and I found myself relaxed enough to give a peace sign. Once the parachute opened, I enjoyed the beautiful scenery below, exclaiming "Beautiful! Awesome!" along the way.

I truly felt like a bird! I savored the scenery gracefully and was amazed at how long I could float in the air.

When we arrived, the photographer was already waiting below, capturing the moment perfectly. I was able to watch the video later of the moment I jumped and the blank moment during free fall, and I could see the scenery I missed at the time. It reminded me of the incredible experience I had! I can share it with my parents and friends, and I really believe it’s worth buying the video! It’s expensive, though.

However, after finishing, we had to wait for two hours for everyone who came on the same bus to finish their jumps. This downtime felt like a waste. Initially, I had signed up for another tour that didn’t have a waiting time, but it didn’t get enough participants to confirm the reservation, so I had to rebook for this tour, which made me feel like time was precious.

Also, the tip was stated to be around 10-15%, but it seemed predetermined to give $20 to the instructor, $20 to the photographer, and $25 to the bus driver. I paid that, but when I added up the video costs, I thought I could have jumped again with that amount, resulting in a significant expense. However, thanks to the video, I can relive that excitement anytime, so I am ultimately satisfied. It was a great experience. Thank you!

初めは、不安でしたが、体験談を読ませて頂き、主人も私もビデオも写真も撮ってくれるなら、価値アリだな～と思い、値段は高いとは思いましたが、購入を希望しました。写真を撮る人と、撮らない人との組み合わせで、飛ぶ便の順番が決まるようで、私たちは、すぐに順番が回ってきて、説明も練習もあっさりと終わり、これで本当に本番は大丈夫なのかと、不安がありました。主人のインストラクターは練習さえなかったようです。
でもセスナに乗ると、景色の美しさに見とれ、緊張がほぐれてきました。雲が少しかかっていたので、予定の4000メートルまで上がる事ができず、3700メートル地点からになったとの事で、その分後でキャッシュバックがありましたので、良心的だな～と感じました。
私のインストラクターの方は、後ろから声を何度もかけてくれ、キレイ、キレイ～、サイコー、サイコー、とか、名前も何度も呼びかけてくれ、リラックスできました。
いざ、飛び立つ時も、海老反りが大切と教えられたので、教え通り海老反りになってたら、下を見る怖さがなく、身を委ねる形で落ちて行きました。
もう、何が何だか、わからないままに、教えられた通り、手を前にあげ海老反りの体制を作る事に必死でした。そしたら、目の前をカメラマンが手を振ってくれ、すぐにピースサインが出来る程の余裕が出てきて、パラシュートが開いてからは、下の景色の美しさを、キレイー、サイコーと一緒にいいながら、楽しみました。
本当に鳥になった気分です！優雅な気持ちでゆっくりと景色を堪能し、こんなに長い時間浮かんでられるのか～と感心するほど、空を飛んでいるという実感を味わえました。

到着場面も先に降りて待ってくれているので、ばっちり撮れてましたし、とにかく、飛び降りる瞬間とフリーフォールの時の頭真っ白の瞬間を、ビデオで後で見る事ができ、その時みれなかった景色もビデオで見れますし、改めて、すごい事をしたんだーと思い出させてくれます！
親や友達にも見てもらえるし、最高の思い出が残るので、ビデオは買う価値ありだと、本当に思います！！高いけど。

でも終わってから、同じバスで来た人皆が飛び終わるのを待つこと２時間。
このロスタイムが勿体ないのですが。
初めはもう一つの待ち時間無しの方のツアーを申し込みしていたのですが、人数が集まらなくて、予約が確定ならず、仕方なくこちらのツアーで申し込みをし直しましたが、やはり、時間が惜しいなと感じました。
それと、チップもこちらの説明で10～15％ほどと書いてありますが、インストラクター２０ドル、カメラマン２０ドル、バスの運転手２５ドルと決まっているかのように書かれてあり、払いましたが、結果ビデオ代やらと合わせたら、もう一回飛べるじゃんと思い、結果的にすごい出費になりましたが、手元にあるビデオのお陰で、あの感動がいつでも蘇らせれるので、結果満足しています。
良い経験ができました。ありがとうございました。

The online reservation process was very smooth, so I was very satisfied. However, on the day of the event, I waited for an hour in front of the hotel at the meeting time. Since I couldn't use my phone overseas, I was really anxious while waiting to see if they would actually come. It turned out that there was a mix-up that caused the delay, but then at the skydiving location, we were further delayed and treated as if we were last in line, which made my friend and me chuckle. When I booked scuba diving with the same company, everything went smoothly, so perhaps I was just unlucky with the skydiving experience, but it was a bit disappointing.

ネットでの予約に関してはすごくスムーズに行っていただけたので、とても満足しています。が、当日待ち合わせ時間にホテルの前で待っていたら1時間待たされました。海外で電話も使えない状態だったので本当に来るのか待っている間はずっと不安でした。手違いで迎えが遅れたのことでしたが、その後スカイダイビングを行う場所でも遅れたためにたらい回し状態にされ更に遅れて来たからとの理由で現場の人にも全て後回しにされ友人と苦笑い。笑 同じ会社でスキューバダイビングを予約した時は全てがスムーズだったので、たまたまスカイダイビングの時は運が悪かったのかもしれませんが少し残念でした。

Before heading to the North Shore, we stopped by places like the Dole Plantation, enjoyed garlic shrimp, and saw turtles. The final activity was horseback riding, which was packed with fun. The horseback riding along the beach was the highlight of this trip for me. It was such a relaxing experience, and I think even beginners can participate with confidence. I would love to join again when I come to Hawaii!

ノースショアに行くまでにドールプランテーションなど立ち寄ってガーリックシュリンプも食べれてカメも見れて最後は乗馬と盛りだくさんのプランでした。
特に最後の乗馬は今回の旅行で一番楽しかったです。海辺をゆっくりと乗馬しながらの時間はとても心地いい時間で、初心者でも安心して参加できると思いました。
ハワイに来たらまた参加したいと思います！

What an amazing tour, highly recommend. Pilot very knowledgeable, well organized and well worth the money.++++

Skydiving was an experience I had always wanted to try. The incredible views were something I had never experienced before. There was no time to be scared as I jumped out quickly. Once in the air, it was so much fun!! I felt amazing.

My husband, who was reluctant at first, became a different person after landing. He was so excited, saying he wanted to jump again even though he had just done it!

I think it's worth buying the photos and videos as they make great keepsakes. You can enjoy that wonderful experience even after returning home, so I highly recommend it.

For those who want to make the most of their time, participating with a rental car is a good idea. The weather can affect things, so it took quite a while.

The guide was also entertaining, and there's no doubt he will become legendary in many ways. Mr. Mickey's history is impressive!

１度は体験してみたかったスカイダイビング。
体験したことがない素晴らしい景色。
怖がってる暇がないくらいさっと飛び降ります。
飛んでからはとっても楽しい！！最高な気分です。

嫌がっていた主人も
降りてからは別人のように
ハマってしまいました。
飛んだばかりなのにまた飛びたい！！と興奮していました。

写真、ムービーは記念になりますので買ったほうがいいと思います。
あの素敵な体験が帰ってきた後でも楽しめるのでオススメです。

時間を有効に使いたい方は、レンタカーでの参加が良いと思います。
天気が影響しますので、けっこう時間がかかりました。

案内人の方も面白く、色んな意味で伝説になること間違いないです。
ミッキーさんの歴史すごいですね（＾皿＾）

A few years ago, I experienced beach horseback riding and canyon horseback riding, and those enjoyable moments have stayed in my heart. I wanted to participate again to relive that excitement while I'm still energetic.

I was worried that the tour would be canceled since I had booked it for a weekend when a rare typhoon hit Oahu, but it ended safely despite the heavy rain. Eleven participants of various ages joined in, with the ocean waves crashing and rain pouring down.

It was a 45-minute ride while wearing the borrowed helmet and raincoat. My pants and shoes were soaked, and my makeup was washed away, making it an unforgettable experience. I appreciated the thoughtful care provided by the four women who took care of us.

数年前に海辺の乗馬、渓谷の乗馬を体験して楽しい経験がずっと心に残っていました。
もう一度、元気なうちにあのワクワク感を味わいたくて参加しました。
　めったに来ない台風がオアフ島を襲った週末日を予約していたので、きっとツアーが
キャンセルになるのではと心配しましたが、大雨の中、無事終了してよかったです。
海の波も荒々しく、吹き付ける雨の中、年齢もさまざまな11名が参加しました。
お借りしたヘルメット、合羽を着ての45分でした。ズボン、靴はずぶぬれ、お化粧も落ち
忘れられない体験になりました。
お世話をしてくださった女性達4名の細かい配慮がうれしかったです。

I had an amazing time in the beautiful weather! That feeling is addictive! I definitely want to try it again!

とっても良い天気の中めちゃくちゃ楽しめました！
あの感じはクセになります！
またぜひトライしたいと思いました！

The tour was fantastic! Our driver, Ben, was awesome and so informative. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and learned so much about the Island that we would not have had we driven ourselves. Especially because it was our first tour of the Island, it was totally worth it! Relaxing, beautiful and fun. Kudos to Ben!! Highly recommend it!!

The transportation and diving were both very enjoyable and provided a wonderful experience. However, I feel that the tips are quite high. While it's not mandatory, we were informed that the standard is to give the instructor $20, the photographer $20, and the driver $5 to $10 before flying. When my wife and I requested only the photographer, the tips alone amounted to about $70. Perhaps it's because we're not accustomed to the tipping culture, but for us as a couple, it's a significant expense.

送迎もダイビングもとても楽しく素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
ただ一つ、チップが非常に高いような気がします。
強制される訳ではないのですが、飛ぶ前にイントラ20ドル、カメラマンに20ドル、送迎の運転手に5〜10ドルとが相場だと説明されます。
2人で妻のみカメラマンをお願いしたらチップだけで約70ドルになってしまいます。
チップ文化に慣れてないからそう思うのか、私達夫婦には非常に痛い出費です。

Was great. Tour was informative and our pilot definitely knew a great deal of the island and of course those little unknown facts!

It was a nicely planned trip. Our driver cousin pekelo was very informative. Highly recommendable headstart into ur hawaii trip.

The scenery was beautiful, and even for older people, it was an easy and nice course. However, having to wait for the others in the group to return was tiring, as it took a long time.

景色がよくて歳がいってても歩きやすくよいコースでした。ただ他のプランの人たちの帰ってくるのをまっていなくてはいけなくて長いあいだ待たないといけないのは疲れました。

Riding horses by the seaside was pleasant. The van for transportation was crowded and cramped, which was tough. The guide spoke quickly and was a bit hard to understand, but they were very dedicated.

乗馬が海辺で気持ち良かったです。移動のバンは人数多くて狭くてしんどかったです。ガイドさんは早口であまりわかりにくかったですが一生懸命でした。

This was a once in a lifetime experience! The crew was great and very informative. It was so much fun!

The weather was bad, and we had to wait for about an hour due to the conditions, but we were able to dive in great weather afterward. It was my first time, and it felt amazing. The instructor was kind and really helped to create a fun atmosphere. You can wear whatever you like, but I wouldn't recommend light clothing since it can be cold. Also, it seems you need to wear athletic shoes, not just sneakers, so be careful about that.

気候が悪くて一回あがり、さがっての1時間ほどの待機がありましたが、晴れていい状態でのダイビングができました。初めてでしたが、とても気持ちよく最高でした。インストラクターの方も優しく盛り上げて
くれました♪服装は自由ですが寒いので軽装はおすすめしないです。あと靴も運動靴でもスニーカーじゃないといけないみたいなので注意です。

Great tour from our tour guide Ed. You get a good overall view of most of the island. Some of the stops were a little short, but overall an enjoyable day.
