All Reviews for North Shore Tours & Things To Do

Last time, I signed up for the seaside tour, but this time I wanted to ride horses for a longer period, so I participated in the canyon tour. I was very satisfied with the long horseback riding. This canyon tour does not require helmets. There were exciting moments as the horses would eat grass, which was a bit nerve-wracking but fun. It mentions that the tour is in English only, but the guide provided simultaneous interpretation, so there were no issues at all. Besides horseback riding, they also took us to Mackey's Shrimp and Aoki Shave Ice. The tour guide, Nakama, has excellent service spirit. I plan to participate again in November, and I hope to have Nakama as my guide again!☆

前回はこちらの海辺ツアーを申し込んだのですが、もう少し乗馬を長時間したいと思い、今回の渓谷ツアーに参加しました。
長時間馬に乗れて大満足。こちらの渓谷ツアーは、ヘルメットなしです。
馬が草を食べたりしてしまうのでハラハラ楽しいハプニング。
英語のみと記載がありますが、ガイドさん？が同時通訳してくれるのでまったく問題ないです。乗馬以外にもマッキーズのシュリンプや、青木シェイブアイスのお店にも連れて行ってくださいました。添乗員のナカマさん、サービス精神が素晴らしいです。
１１月もまた参加しようと思っているので、その際はまたナカマさんがいいです☆

We went out to sea on a boat that can hold about 20 people, crossing rough waves. We were the only Japanese there. We were divided into three groups and entered the cage in turn. The sharks gathered due to the sound of the boat's engine, so we were able to see many of them! They are not carnivorous and are said to be a type that does not attack humans, so we could enjoy it with peace of mind. While waiting on the boat and inside the cage, it rocked quite a bit, so almost everyone got seasick. Everyone who was lively and energetic on the way out was silent and exhausted on the way back... it was a good memory (laughs). As noted in the precautions, it's definitely better to take motion sickness medication. Also, it can get cold if the wind is strong, so I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear and a bath towel to dry off quickly.

20人乗りくらいのボートで荒波をこえ沖まで出ました。
日本人は私たちだけでした。
3グループに分けられ、順番に檻に入ります。
サメはボートのエンジン音で集まってくるのでたくさん見れました！
肉食ではないので人は襲わない種類らしく、安心して楽しめました。
待っている間のボートも、檻の中も、かなり揺れるのでほぼ全員船酔いしてました。
行きはノリノリで元気だったみんなが帰りは無言でぐったり。。。いい思い出です（笑）
注意事項にもあるとおり、酔い止めは絶対飲んだ方がいいですね。
あと、風が強いと寒いので羽織るものとすぐ体をふけるようにバスタオルは持って行った方がいいと思います。

We participated as a family of three, and we were given a thorough tour of various attractions in Hawaii. It was a packed tour! We had a great time!!

親子三人で参加しました、ハワイの様々な観光地を丁寧に案内していただき、盛り沢山なツアーでした！とっても楽しかったです！！

Walking along the shaded area by the sea is comfortable, with a pleasant breeze and stunning views! I even saw a turtle.

Getting a helmet at the hut and being able to start riding just five minutes after a brief explanation is great; there's no waste of time. The two women accompanying the horseback riding were also very nice.

The restroom is dirty, so it's better not to use it.

As for plans other than horseback riding, they are the same as other places on the North Shore, so there are no significant pros or cons. The driver and guide kept explaining things so we wouldn't get bored, which made it enjoyable. No complaints at all!

海沿いの木陰を進むので、暑くない、風が気持ちよく景色も最高！！カメもいたよ。
小屋でヘルメットもらって、説明5分ですぐ乗馬できるのもいい、無駄がないです。乗馬に付き添ってくれる女性2名も感じがいいｗ
トイレは汚いので使用しない方がいいです。
乗馬以外のプランは、ほかのノースショアと同じですから、良し悪しはないです。運転手　兼　案内人さんがず～～～っと退屈しないように説明をしてくれていて楽しかったです。文句なしです！

We had family visiting from the mainland, so we went for a ride along the beach and had an absolutely fabulous time!

Really enjoyed sailing on the catamaran and seeing some of the most beautiful fish and turtles! Staff was friendly and accomodating. We were able to bring drinks and snacks aboard. Would go again!

On the last day of our honeymoon, we decided to try skydiving. We took a bus from our hotel to the diving point. During the ride, we had to sign several waivers stating that we would take full responsibility for anything that happened. It's important to be careful not to get car sick during this time. If there are any mistakes in the paperwork, you will be the last to jump, so be cautious about that.

Upon arrival, those who completed their paperwork correctly get priority in the lineup. We met our foreign instructor, who helped us put on the harness and equipment. My instructor was kind and explained everything clearly using some Japanese words.

Since we opted for photos and videos, a cameraman also joined us on the Cessna. As we ascended higher and higher, my excitement grew.

Once we reached the target altitude, it was finally time to dive. The moment I jumped is still vividly etched in my memory. After the parachute opened, the instructor made some turns, which surprisingly made me feel a bit nauseous. But we landed safely. It all happened so quickly, but it was the best experience.

Afterward, I tipped the instructor and the cameraman $20 each and checked the completed photos and videos. I decided to purchase both as a once-in-a-lifetime keepsake. The total cost was about 20,000 yen for one person.

Even after I finished my jump, we couldn't leave until everyone who came on the bus had completed their jumps. We had to wait for about three hours, which was a bit tough.

Overall, I was very satisfied. It's a memory of a lifetime and something to brag about, so I highly recommend it.

新婚旅行の最終日のオプションでスカイダイビングに挑戦しました。宿泊ホテルから迎えのバスでダイビングポイントへ。車中で「何があっても責任は自分にあります。」的な誓約書を何枚も書かされます。その際、車酔いしないように注意が必要です。この書類記入に漏れがあると飛ぶのが1番後回しにされるのでこれも注意。
到着し、書類記入合格者優先で順番がまわってきます。相棒となる外国人インストラクターと合流し、ハーネスやら器具を装着します。自分の担当の方は親切で、日本語の単語を使ってわかりやすく説明してくれました。
写真とビデオをオプションで付けたので、カメラマンも同行でセスナ機に乗り込みます。どんどん地上から離れていくだけで興奮してきます。
目標高度まで着いていよいよダイブ。飛び降りる瞬間の光景は今でも目に焼き付いています。パラシュートが開いてからインストラクターが気を利かせてか、旋回させます。それが思いのほか気持ち悪くなりました。そして無事着地。あっという間です。でも最高の体験です。
その後、インストラクター、カメラマンに20ドルずつチップBOXにチップを入れ、完成した写真とビデオを確認します。一生に一度の記念にどちらも購入しました。1人合計で2万くらいです。
自分が飛び終わってもバスで一緒にきた人たち全員が飛び終わるまでは帰れません。ひたすら待機です。私たちは3時間くらい待ちました。その点がしんどかったです。
全体的には満足でした。一生の思い出、一生の自慢になりますのでオススメです。

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。

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.

This is an excellent way to see the island. The pilot was friendly and informative. The crew to include the bus driver were great people and very helpful. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

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！

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。
