All Reviews for North Shore Tours & Things To Do

It was my honeymoon, but my wife decided not to go, so I participated alone. I had always wanted to try skydiving at least once in my life, and when I found out I could do it cheaply in Hawaii, I signed up.

In reality, the dive was from such a high place that I could see the shape of Oahu, and the scenery was amazing. It felt incredible, and it was the best moment. I hadn't signed up for the DVD, but since they filmed it, I bought it. However, it was more expensive than the skydiving itself, and my wife got mad at me. But when I returned home and showed it to everyone, they all said they wanted to try it too, so I felt it was worth buying.

Since the waiting time is long, it's a good idea to bring snacks like bread.

新婚旅行でしたが、嫁は行かないとのことで、一人で参加しました。
もともとスカイダイビングは一生に一回はしてみたいと思っていたら、ハワイだと安くでできると知り申し込みました。
実際は、オアフ島の形が見えるほど高いところからのﾀﾞｲﾌﾞで、景色はすばらしいし、ほんとに気持ちよくて最高の瞬間でした。
DVD申し込んでなかったけど、撮っててくれたので買いましたが、ｽｶｲﾀﾞｲﾋﾞﾝｸﾞより値段が高かくて嫁に怒られました。しかし、帰国して、皆にみせると、皆もやってみたいと言ってもらえるような迫力ある映像で、買ってよかったなと思います。
待ち時間が長いので、パンなど持って行ったほうがいいです。

I challenged myself to skydiving based at Dillingham Airfield.

I was picked up from my hotel in Waikiki at 7:00 and arrived at the airfield by 8:30. After a brief explanation, I signed a waiver stating, "I take full responsibility for everything that happens," and then it was time to skydive.

Of course, I couldn't jump alone, so I did a tandem jump with an instructor. After getting strapped into the harness, we boarded the Cessna and ascended into the sky...

And then, we dove into the open air!

The view and exhilaration were beyond my imagination.

If you want photos, a dedicated photographer will jump with you. I requested photos for a keepsake, but the beauty of the scenery was so overwhelming that I completely forgot about the camera, and there are hardly any pictures of me looking at the camera.

In any case, skydiving is an activity I highly recommend.

However, it's important to note that accidents in skydiving are not nonexistent. In Hawaii, there have been fatal accidents in the past.

If you decide to try skydiving, it's necessary to approach it with a serious mindset, not lightly.

The cost for a dive from 14,000 feet is $185 (including round-trip shuttle service to Waikiki), and you should tip the instructor $20 after the dive. While $20 for a tip might seem high, considering the experience of gliding through the sky from nearly 4,000 meters and enjoying the view without any injuries, I think it's not too much when viewed as a safety fee.

If you wish to have photos taken, the dedicated photographer will also descend with you, so the photography fee is $120 + a $20 tip. The photographer also captures videos, and after the dive, you can check the video and purchase it if you like (it was about $30 extra on top of the photo fee).

ディリンハム飛行場をベースとするスカイダイビングに挑戦してきました。

ワイキキのホテルを7：00にピックアップされ、8：30には飛行場に到着。
そして、簡単な説明のあと、【何があっても全ての責任は自分にあることを誓います】と云う誓約書にサインをし、スカイダイビングに挑戦です。

もちろん、一人では飛べないのでインストラクターとのタンデム飛行。
ハーネスをとりつけ、セスナに乗り込み、上空へ…。

そして、大空へダイブ！

想像以上のすばらしい景色と高揚感でした。

写真を希望する場合は専属のカメラマンが一緒に飛んでくれます。
私も、記念にと写真をお願いしましたが、カメラマンを意識する余裕もないくらいの景色の美しさに、カメラの存在をすっかり失念し、カメラ目線の写真はほとんどありませんでした。

とにかく、スカイダイビングは、お勧めのアクティビティです。

しかし、スカイダイビングでは事故が皆無なわけではありません。
ハワイでは、過去に死亡事故も発生しています。

スカイダイビングの挑戦する場合には、軽い気持ちではなく、それなりの覚悟をして臨むことも必要です。

14000feetからの降下で1ダイブ185US$（ワイキキまでの往復シャトルサービス込）、ダイビング後はインストラクターさんにチップ（20US$）が必要です。チップに20 US$って高い気がしますが、4000ｍ近い上空から、大空を滑空し、地球の丸さを感じながら景色を楽しみ、怪我一つせずに地上に下ろしてもらえるのです。安全料だと思えばそんなに高くないと思います。

写真撮影を希望する場合は、専属のカメラマンも一緒に降下するので撮影料：120US$+チップ20US$が必要となります。カメラマンさんは写真以外に動画も撮影していて、ダイビング後に動画をチェックして、気に入れば動画も買うことができます。（確か写真代金+30 US$位）でした。

Horseback riding on the beautiful beach was amazing. The horses were participating in a polo match, but they were calm, and I felt safe riding them. I heard there was a polo match on Sunday, and I wanted to go see it if I had the time, but unfortunately, I couldn't. Riding in such beautiful scenery felt refreshing, and I really enjoyed it!

きれいなビーチでの乗馬は最高。ポロ試合に出ている馬たちだったがおとなしく、安心して乗っていられました。日曜日にポロ試合があると言っていたので時間があれば観に行きたかったが、かなわず残念。美しい景色の中での乗馬は心が洗われるようで、楽しかったです♪

We did several tours and the North Shore was our favorite. The North Shore was gorgeous. There were a bunch of awesome little shops and art galleries. We rode bikes and went snorkeling. It was awesome!

I wanted to take my 5-year-old on the Pineapple Train, so I made a reservation. It just runs through the pineapple fields, but my child was satisfied♪ However, the photos are expensive!!! They take a commemorative photo before boarding, and it's $25 for one… I bought it since it's a keepsake, but it's much more expensive than the commemorative photos at the aquarium or during whale watching! But the soft serve ice cream is delicious!!

5歳の子供をパイナップルトレインに乗せてあげたくて予約。ひたすらパイナップル畑を走るだけですが、子供は満足♪ただ、写真が高い!!!乗車前に記念撮影してくれるのですが、1枚＄25…一応記念なので買いましたが、水族館、ホエールウォッチングの記念撮影よりもずっと割高！でも、ソフトクリームは美味い!!

Skydiving is the best.
It's a waste not to experience it.
I want to jump again.
The driver was fun,
the instructor was kind,
and the cameraman was cool.
I was happy! ♡

スカイダイビング最高
経験しないともったいない
また飛びたいです
ドライバーも楽しく
インストラクターも優しく
カメラマンも格好よく
Happyだった♡

A packed tour!
I was lucky enough to encounter a honu basking on the North Shore.
After that, I went horseback riding in the canyon for the first time!
All the horses were adorable and very smart.
I had the best time enjoying horseback riding while soaking in the forest atmosphere.

Then, I was driven to Macky's, which is quite far to walk, for my long-awaited garlic shrimp! I was so hungry from horseback riding that it wasn't enough.
I want to go horseback riding in the canyon again!

盛りだくさんのツアー！
タイミング良く、ノースショアで甲羅干ししているホヌさんに出会えました。
その後、初めての渓谷乗馬！
お馬さんはみんな可愛くて、お利口さんでした。
森林浴を楽しみながら、たっぷり乗馬を楽しめて、最高の時間を過ごせました。

そして、歩くには遠いマッキーズまで送っていただいて、念願のガーリックシュリンプ！乗馬でお腹が空いていたのもあり、足りないくらいでした。
また、渓谷乗馬やりたいなぁ〜。

We participated as a family of four. Although there were four adults, it was everyone's first experience walking along the beach on horseback, and we all got really excited. The instructor was also kind and spoke to us in English. Each horse had its own personality, and there were some unexpected moments, like when a horse wouldn't move, but it was a very enjoyable activity that allowed us to connect with living creatures. When we go to Hawaii again, we definitely want to do this!

家族４人で参加しました。
大人４人でしたが、海辺を馬に乗りながら歩くのは初めての体験で全員がはしゃいでしまいました。インストラクターのお姉さんも優しく英語で話しかけてくれました。
馬によって性格も様々で、馬がなかなか進まないなどハプニングもありましたが、生き物との触れ合いならではのアクティビティでとても楽しめました。
またハワイに行くときは、絶対にやりたいです！！

Amazing experience! Well over a dozen sharks swimming around, close to the cage. Plenty of time in the water. I would definitely recommend the video which probably adds a few minutes to your experience and is reasonably priced. The staff was personable and safety focused making for a great experience. Of all the activities we have done this trip this is the one we will do again our next time out.

My first skydiving experience. I'm glad I did it in Hawaii! It was so much fun that I would love to do it again if I get the chance.

初めてのスカイダイビング。ハワイでやってよかったです！とても楽しかったので、また出来たらやりたいです(^^)

I always rely on Gunstock when I go to Oahu. Usually, it's just my husband and me, but this time we were with other foreign guests. Since there were six of us, I thought we wouldn't be able to canter, but my expectations were exceeded. We had a great time cantering, and I was very satisfied.

オアフに行くといつもお世話になるガンストックさん♪
いつもは夫婦ふたりでが多かったのですが今回は他の外国の方も一緒でした。
６人一緒だったので駈歩(キャンター）はしないかな・・・って諦めていましたが、期待を裏切りません。楽しく駈歩できて満足満足でした。

This was probably the best experience in my life. So awesome and a must do if you're in Oahu! I'm definitely doing it again and bringing more friends! The sharks come so close and if you get lucky like us, you'll see some whales! Definitely do it!

It was my first experience riding horses, and I was able to participate very enjoyably. On the way to the North Shore, I was also able to stop by the Dole Plantation, which made me very satisfied. I had heard that the two places mentioned above are difficult to reach without renting a car, so I’m really glad I joined this tour. If I could wish for anything, it would be that the sightseeing time was a bit longer. I was satisfied to stop by a famous garlic shrimp restaurant for lunch. The horseback riding was at the Turtle Bay Hotel's riding club, and it was very satisfying. The scenery by the sea was beautiful, and it felt great to walk a bit through the forest as well. I think this is a tour that even small children can participate in with peace of mind.

乗馬初体験でしたが、とても楽しく参加することが出来ました。
ノースショアに行く途中、この木なんの木、ドールプランテーションも寄ることが出来、満足です。上記の２つはレンタカーなどを借りないと行くのが難しいと聞いていたので、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。
欲を言えばもう少し観光の時間が長ければ良かったな。
お昼ご飯は有名なガーリックシュリンプのお店に立ち寄ってもらえて満足でした。
乗馬はタートルベイホテルの乗馬クラブでの参加で、非常に満足できるものでした。
海辺で景色もよく、それでいて少し森の中も歩く感じだったので非常に気持ちよかったです。
小さい子も安心して参加できるツアーだと思います。

At first, I was nervous, but it was amazing. I want to do it again! When I went to the drop point, I was lucky to see a whale. Well, from up in the sky, it looked like a tiny dot, though, lol.

はじめはドキドキでしたが、サイコーでした。
もう一度やりたい！
落下ポイントに行くときに、クジラも見えたのでラッキーでした。
まぁ、上空からなので豆粒みたいでいたけどｗ

Trail riding for the perfect amount of time. The horses were magnificent athletes and very well mannered. More trail than beach. We could have done without the trailblazing through prickers. We could see the ocean the whole time though and saw whales breaching in the distance.

I went on this with my boyfriend and we had lots of fun! Def was not scary but very neat to see the sharks from a different perspective.

Very good 2.5 hours spent aboard the catamaran. The crew seemed knowledgeable and were happy to point out a whole host of things to look at. We managed to see about 10 sightings of whales, some jumping out of the water, some 'blowing' and some fantastic tail shots. Would recommend to others.

Choosing Paradise Helicopters was the best thing I've done while in Hawaii. The staff was courteous and very professional. You knew right away you and your family were in good hands. The ride was superb and worth the money you pay! They don't charge as much as other companies do!!

Absolutely fantastic! Our pilot, Josh, was extremely knowledgeable about Oahu and the sites we flew over. Had the one hour tour and was able to get fantastic photos. Strongly recommended to anyone wanting an informed view from the skies.

Yassi our guide was excellent and so much fun, this was a gift from my friend Kathy for my 50th birthday! I've always wanted to do a horseback ride on the beach, & San Diego really didn't have any options, so when we planned our trip to Oahu we had to do this! We googled horse back riding on the beach & picked this one immediately. The ride was relaxing and so pretty, we rode polo ponies and they were beautiful and matched perfectly with us, mine was named Chaser! can't wait to come back & do it again! Aloha & Mahalo

I couldn't ride the free fall at the amusement park before, but this time I was determined to give it a try. When the moment came, I dove out of the plane with momentum! It was scary at first, but once I consciously relaxed, the beauty of the scenery that unfolded was amazing! I'm glad I experienced it. I definitely want to recommend it!

遊園地のフリーホールも乗れなかったのですが、今回は気合を入れてTRYしてみました。いざその場になると勢いで飛行機からダイブ！瞬間は怖かったけれど、意識的に力を抜いたらそこに広がる景色の美しいこと！体験してよかったです。是非お勧めしたい！

Wow! what an entertainer Harry was & related so well to us being Aussies & accustomed to the surfing fraternity. We're recently retired & I was on crutches after an operation & nothing was too much trouble. He made special trip in between activities to come & pick me up from Waimea Falls to save me walking. We couldn't praise him enough. Go Harry!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for a wonderful insight into life on the North Shore of Oahu.

I finally had the long-awaited horseback riding experience. Our guide, Jimmy, was very entertaining, and I enjoyed the ride without getting bored. The itinerary included the tree, Doll Plantation, Haleiwa Town, and horseback riding, but we only stayed at the first two places for about 15 minutes each, and I think we spent around 40 minutes in Haleiwa.

I was a bit anxious about the traffic along the way, worrying that our riding time would be cut short... I thought it might have been fine to skip one of the first three stops.

We managed to arrive safely and met the horses. Inside the van, Jimmy gave us a quick lesson on handling the reins, so we started riding right away! The horses were well-trained, and it was mostly just about enjoying the ride. However, there were some mischievous ones that would wander off to eat grass (I experienced that too). Staff members walked alongside us, giving instructions (like "right" or "loosen up").

We were able to relax by the seaside, in the forest, and back by the sea. The garlic shrimp for lunch at Macky's, which Jimmy recommended, was really delicious.

念願の乗馬体験してきました。
ガイドのジミーさんがとっても面白く、移動中もあきることなく楽しめました。この木なんのき～ドールプランテーション～ハレイワタウン～乗馬と盛り込んでありますが、最初の2か所は15分程度トイレ休憩ぐらいの滞在時間、ハレイワで40分ぐらいだったかな。
途中で渋滞があって乗馬時間が削られるんじゃないかとハラハラ…　これなら最初の3か所どれかなくてもいいんじゃないかと思いました。
なんとか無事に到着し、お馬さんとご対面。　
社内でジミーさんに、手綱さばきをレクチャーしてもらってるのですぐに乗馬スタート！よくできたお馬さん達でほとんど乗ってるだけでOKです。　ただ横道それて草をたべるやんちゃさんもいます（私もやられました）前後にスタッフが追歩してくれますので、指示してくれます（みぎ～とかゆるめる～とか）
海辺～森～海辺とのんびりできました。
ランチのガーリックシュリンプもジミーさんおすすめのマッキーズはとっても美味しかったです。

The company was very professional. The pilot was very knowledgeable and personable and provided a great narration. We saw 2/3rds of the island and had some exciting moments flying over cliffs and through valleys. Unfortunately, the hull-mounted video camera quit working just 5 minutes into the 45 minute ride. We were certain we wanted to buy the video of our flight and the accompanying narration so we were disappointed that it wasn't going to be possible. The company provided us with a sales DVD that included many of the same sights we experienced, however, the special nature of the video of our flight was lost.

Thanks so much to North Shore Shark Adventures! We had such a great time and the sharks we saw were countless! Even saw a barracuda who lingered around the cage. Captain Tanja and the crew were fantastic. They were knowledgeable,friendly,and funny. We brought home a video of our adventure and are so glad that we did! We would do this again in a minute! (This coming from someone who is afraid of everything = Karen!) I would recommend this adventure to anyone visiting the island. See you next time NSSA!

I wanted to ride the pineapple train at Dole, so I signed up for this plan, which guaranteed that I could ride it. As expected, I was able to ride it right after arriving, and then I had pineapple ice cream. I had a little less time to look at souvenirs, but I was mostly satisfied. In Haleiwa, I was a bit unsure about where to have lunch. It's a good idea to research recommended places before you go. At Lanikai Beach, I was lucky to see a turtle. It was a lot of fun.

ドールでパイナップル列車に乗りたいと思い、このプランなら必ず乗れるので申込みました。期待通りに、着いてから早速乗れて、その後にパイナップルアイスを食べました。おみやげはちょっと見る時間が少なくなりましたが、ほぼ満足です。ハレイワは昼食をどこのお店で食べるかちょっと迷いました。おすすめの店を調べて行くといいです。ラ二カイビーチでは、かめも観れてラッキーでした。とても楽しかったです。

Our first activity of our week on Oahu, and our favorite. Pricey...yes, but exciting. And, it gave perspective to all the things we did later in the week. Our pilot pointed out, as we flew over, where the President usually vacations, where Gilligan's Island was filmed, where Jurrasic Park was filmed, the Marine base, the closed, dangerous falls, the plantations, the North shore and Sunset Beach, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and flew us on the same approach the Japanese took in 1941 across Hickam and Wheeler Fields and down onto Pearl Harbor. Brodie, our pilot is a former Marine stationed on Oahu. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. Brodie spotted two Grey Whales off the North shore, flew out a bit and did some orbits over them so we could all see them. My wife forgot her light jacket, so a ground employee lent his hoodie to her. Absolutely magnificent!

I made a reservation online before my departure, so I didn't waste any time in Hawaii. I was a bit anxious since it was my first time using the service, but there were no issues at all. I will definitely use it again next time. Thank you very much.

出発前にネット予約をして行ったためHawaiiでは時間のロスをせずに済みました。
初めての利用で不安はありましたが何の問題もありませんでした。
次回も絶対利用させていただきます。
ありがとうございました。

I experienced it with two new half friends. At first, I was nervous, and the moment I got on the Cessna, I thought, "I should have just skipped this..." but then I was already up in the sky. The instructor and cameraman tried to lighten the mood with jokes, but when I later watched the DVD, I could see just how tense I was. As the first in the group, I had no choice but to jump out. During the one minute of free fall, the beauty was so overwhelming that I forgot to breathe. When the parachute opened, I instinctively closed my eyes, but from that point on, it was like a dream. Once it was over, it really felt like it was over in an instant. They say you only do this once in a lifetime, but I want to experience it not just once, but two or three times, as many times as possible. The beautiful sea, sky, and greenery. Even the whales welcomed us.

ニューハーフ二人で体験しました。
最初はドキドキでセスナに乗り込んだ瞬間、辞めとけば・・・って気持ちになったけど、もう空の上。
担当のインストラクター、カメラマンが気持ちをほぐそうとギャグ？を交えて声をかけてくれるけど、のちのちのDVDを見て、ガチガチに緊張してるのがわかるほどでした。
グループの１番目、いやおうなく飛び出しました。
フリーフォールの１分間、あまりの美しさに息をするのを忘れるほど。
パラシュートが開いた時は思わず目を閉じてしまいましたが、そこから先は夢のような時間でです。
終わってしまえば、本当にあっという間。一生に一度とは良くいいますが、一度と言わず二度三度、何回でも経験したいひとときでした。
美しい海、空、緑。くじらまで迎えてくれますよ。

If there is ANYTHING you ever do in your life....DO THIS....ABSOLUTELY AMAZING LIFETIME EXPERIENCE....UNFORGETTABLE
