All Reviews for North Shore Tours & Things To Do

This horse ride was all it was promised to be!! We rode on the beach for a good long time! My family and I were looking to do horseback riding that wasn't just on a land trail. Staff was friendly and helpful.
A little more expensive compared to the other locations on the island, but the horses are wonderful and location by the beach makes it even better!

i had a great time with the shark adventure crew. the staff was very funny and gave lots of information! the sharks were amazing but didnt come to close to the cage when i was in there which i was hoping to see. if u are going with a large group of people u dont get to be in the water long either which i though it would be 30min but only ended up 15 min at most, but all in all great experience and i would do it again and i recommend it to anyone who visits the island.

After getting on the shuttle, we arrived in about 40 minutes to an hour. We watched a very fast-paced instructional video and received explanations from the instructor, and before we knew it, we were ready to go!

We boarded the Cessna and ascended to 14,000 feet. Along the way, we could see whales swimming and the beautiful scenery of the entire island, which was absolutely amazing! However, when the door opened and I saw the person in front of me jump out, a wave of fear hit me. It felt less like jumping and more like being thrown out.

When it was my turn to jump, it happened in an instant. The sensation when the parachute opened was scarier than I had imagined, and I couldn't help but scream, but once I calmed down, I was captivated by the beauty of Oahu! However, I did feel a bit nauseous because we were spinning a lot—way more than I expected!

Overall, it was fantastic. I would definitely recommend it to others!

One concern is that even though we took the same shuttle, the order of diving was random, and we had to wait quite a while for the return shuttle. This time, even though everyone was ready, we ended up waiting for about an hour, which was frustrating.

送迎車に乗り、40分~1時間位で到着。
とても早口の説明ビデオを見て、イントラクターさんに動作の説明をしてもらって、あっと言う間に準備は終了!

セスナに乗って、高度14000ftへ。
途中でクジラの泳ぐ姿が見えたり、島全体の美しい景色が見えたり気分は最高♪♪
…が、しかし。
扉が開いて、前の人が飛び出た瞬間を見たら恐怖がぞっと襲ってきました。飛びおりたと言うより、外へ飛ばされたって感じが…

自分が飛び出ると一瞬です。
パラシュートが開いた瞬間の体感は想像以上に怖いものがあり叫んでしまいましたが、落ち着くとオワフ島の美しさにうっとり♪♪
ただ…そんなに旋回しないで!!ってくらい、旋回してくれるので気持ち悪くなりました。。。

トータル的には、最高です。
絶対人にオススメします!!


懸念点は、同じ送迎車で行っても、ダイビングする順番はバラバラで、帰りの送迎までかなりの時間待たされます。
今回は、全員そろっていたにも関わらす1時間ほど待たされていたのが納得いきませんでした。

I flew for the first time. It was exhilarating!

初めて飛びました。気分爽快！

It goes without saying that it was an amazing experience. Skydiving was something I had always wanted to try! The views were incredible. However, the instructor, who didn't speak Japanese, seemed to be enjoying himself a bit too much, making several spins, which was fun but made me feel nauseous. It was tough to hold back the urge to throw up. The G-force when the parachute opened was more intense than I imagined, causing unbearable pain in both my brain and body. By the way, I did take motion sickness medication, but it didn't help at all. If you feel good, I can guarantee that it will be an outstanding experience from start to finish! I went directly without a shuttle service, so once the diving was over and the DVD and photos were ready, I could leave right away. For those participating with a shuttle, even if you jump at 9 AM, you have to wait until noon for the shuttle to return. I think it's best to participate with plenty of time to spare. Since the wait can be long, I recommend joining without the shuttle service for those who are short on time!

最高な体験なのは、言うまでもありません。
一度は体験したかったスカイダイビング♪
景色も最高でしたよ。
ただ、日本語の通じないインストラクターさん、
調子に乗ってか何度も旋回して楽しんでくれるのはいいのですが、気分が悪くなってしまいます。
吐きそうなのを我慢するのも大変です。
パラシュートが開いた途端にかかるＧは想像以上で、脳も身体も耐え難い苦痛を伴います。
ちなみに酔止め薬はちゃんと飲んでましたが、全然効かないんですよ。
気分さえ良ければ、終始最高な体験になる事は保証します！
私は送迎無しで、直接行ったので、ダイビングが終わり、ＤＶＤや写真が出来上がれば直ぐに帰れました。
送迎での参加の方は９時に飛んでも、１２時まで待たないと送迎はありません。
時間に余裕持って参加されたらいいと思います。
待ちが長いので、時間に余裕の無い方は、送迎無し参加をオススメします！

I was fortunate enough to end the last day of 2011by jumping out of a plane at 14000 ft high, Its probably the best thrill ride you could ever do.

The staff at Pacific Skydiving are friendly and knowledgeable, they keep to the KISS method, this way when you jump, you don't have to worry about anything other than enjoying the ride down.

I highly recommend anybody to jump with them if you can, the cost to jump with them is half the price at any other location I've looked up locally to me.

It was OK. No transportation goes to this activity to start with, so you have to rent a car to get there. They ask you to be the 1/2 hour early, but there is no good reason why because they tell you to go take a walk and are late anyway. The reason you need to bring a swim suit is to use their pool. It has nothing to do with the ride which is nose to tail and they not only would not late us take a camera but never volunteered to take any for us. The woman who seemed to run the tour had no personality at all. But the scenery was awesome :)

I spent my time in Hawaii focused on golf, but I was interested in this activity, which has a 65-year age limit. So, I signed up with my wife (I'm 63, and my wife is in her 50s). Our children are independent now, and my work doesn't cause too much trouble, so I thought it would be fine even if something unexpected happened.

I don't have a fear of heights, but sitting on a seat like a log made me feel uneasy as we reached a considerable altitude. However, I was bound to the instructor like a koi on a board, sliding down one after another. The one-minute free fall from 14,000 feet (4,267 meters) was incredible, with wind pressure at 200 km/h. I've experienced 200 km/h on a motorcycle, but the wind pressure on my entire body was incomparable.

According to the display, it was a 3,333-meter free fall!? However, since I didn't feel the G-force, it felt more like flying than falling. The cameraman fell alongside me, and I was able to strike poses as if swimming in the air. After the parachute opened, I had a bit of leisure time to look around, wondering where Turtle Bay Golf Course was and if I could see any whales, while also checking my altitude with the altimeter.

However, due to trying to show off, the sharp turns made me feel nauseous, and I just wanted to land quickly! Overall, it was an amazing, crazy experience. Thank you, RUNDY and ROBBY.

The only downside was the long wait time. We were picked up before 7 AM and arrived at the site by 8 AM. About ten people who came in the same vehicle started at different times. My wife and I ended up waiting for about four hours! Some people who arrived later were allowed to go before us. I wish there had been some consideration for the ten people who were in the same vehicle to jump around the same time or at least a way to indicate the order of jumping upon arrival.

ゴルフ主体でハワイを過ごすのですが、気になっていたこのアクティビティを６５歳の年齢制限があるという事で、
今回、家内とエントリーしました。（私６３歳、妻5？歳）
子供も独立しており仕事にもそれ程迷惑かからない状況になり、万が一の事があってもいいやと・・・
高所恐怖症はないのですが、丸太椅子のような座席に座り
かなりの高度になると不安がよぎりますが、もうインストラクタニーに縛られマナイタの鯉。すべるようにつぎつぎ降下。
14000ft（4267ｍ）からの1分間のFreeFallは、時速200kmの
すごい風圧。バイクでの200km/ｈは経験ありますが体全体にかかる風圧は比べものになりません。
この表示通りに計算すると3333ｍのFreeFall！？
ただＧを感じないので落ちているというより飛んでるとも。
手の届くところまでカメラマンが一緒に落ちていきますが
空中泳ぎをするようなゼスチャーもとれました。
パラシュートが開いてからは、ゴルフ場のタートルベイはどちら？とか、鯨は見えないかとか、腕の高度計を見せてもらったりと少し余裕？の空中散歩。
ところがミエを張ったおかげで、左右の旋回激しく、
船酔い状態になり、早く着地して！という気分になりました。
とにかく素晴らしいCRAZYな体験をさせてもらいました。
RUNDY、ROBBY　ありがとう。
ただ待ち時間の長いのには閉口しました。
7時前のピックアップ、8時に現場に着。同じ車できた10名程がばらばらでスタート。私達夫婦はなんと4時間程待たされる！後から車できた人に先に入れるとか。
少なくとも同乗の10人程は同じくらいに飛べる配慮をするとか、順番を到着時に提示してくれるとかして頂きたい。

I had an amazing time! I want to do it again!! It was truly the best!!!

めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！
またやりたいです！！
本当に最高でした！！！

I'm glad I was able to ride in a place that was more wonderful than I expected. It was clean and not smelly, and instead of just going around in circles, I could enjoy various landscapes along the coast and through the forest without getting bored. The guide was also very kind and recommended some delicious places to eat.

思っていたよりも素敵な場所で乗馬することができてよかったです。清潔で臭くもありませんでしたし、同じところをぐるぐるまわるのではなく、海沿いや林の中や、いろいろな景色を楽しめて飽きることがなかったです。
ガイドさんもおいしい店を教えてくれたりとても親切でした。

I ended my last day of 2011 with skydiving. What a great way to end the year! This was my 3rd time skydiving with Pacific Skydiving Center, and they never fail to satisfy my need for adrenaline rush. The view of North Shore from 14000ft is always gorgeous. Highly recommended.

Don't be scared. Just do it. It'll be the best day of your life.

Getting ready and going up in the Cessna is very exciting, but once you reach the altitude to jump, you quickly find yourself leaping out, and the free fall time ends in the blink of an eye.

After the parachute opens, you can descend slowly while enjoying a beautiful, never-before-seen panorama.

When it's all over, rather than feeling scared, I was left with a sense of exhilaration, and I wanted to do it again.

準備して、セスナで上空に行くまで、とてもドキドキしますが、飛び出す高度に達すると、あれよあれよと飛び出すことになり、自由落下の時間はあっという間に終わってしまいます。

パラシュートが開いてからは、とてもきれいな見たことのないパノラマをゆっくり見ながら降りてくることができます。

終わってみると、怖かったというより、気持ちよかったという感じが残って、またやってみたくなりました。

It's a tandem dive connected by a belt with a veteran instructor, so it's reassuring. I was nervous before jumping and even shed a few tears, but the moment I jumped, although it was scary, the feeling of flying through the air with the wind quickly overshadowed my fear. The free fall until the parachute opens allows you to directly experience the cold air at high altitude, which is a unique sensation you can't find elsewhere. It's thrilling, of course, but the scenery is also incredibly beautiful, and I highly recommend experiencing it at least once!

ベテランの人にベルトで繋がれて飛ぶタンデムダイブなので安心です。
飛ぶ前は緊張して涙が出ましたが、飛び降りた瞬間は怖いものの、風をきって空を飛んでいる感覚のほうがまさって、すぐに怖くなくなりました。
パラシュートが開くまでのフリーフォールは、上空の冷えた空気に直接触れているので、他では味わえない不思議な感覚です。
スリルあるのは当然ながら、景色がとてもきれいで、一度はぜひ体験することをおすすめします！

My granddaughters and I went for the trail ride in November 2011 and were more excited about this activity than any other we were doing. We were told to be there 1/2 hour early and we were, but we had to wait, not only for other people, but for the instructors who said it was just because they were laid back. We then had to go through 1/2 hour of lecturing about the horses being athletes and spooked very easily and exactly how to do and not do EVERYTHING - from how to hold your hands almost to how to breath so you didn't spook these magnificent animals. We were not allowed to take cameras because the click of the camera may spook them and we were never offered the opportunity for anyone to take photos of us riding anywhere - especially on the beach. The unpleasant female who did all these instructions never came out of her funk. When we finally rode, the horses walked nose to tail and very slowly and never showed any signs of spunk or being spooked by anything. When we were done,

The location is great, and the horse training is very well done, so the horses are calm and you can enjoy trail riding with peace of mind.

At first, we did a 90-minute family trail ride at a walk. Other beginner families also participated, and we were able to enjoy it safely and happily.

Next, we went for a canter and encountered many horses and cows while they were grazing. Advanced riders can also enjoy this experience.

There are no vending machines here, so I think it's better to bring your own drinks.

It was a ranch where you can experience the authentic atmosphere of an American farm. It was nice and simple since it hasn't been commercialized as a tourist spot.

ロケーションも良く、また馬の調教もとても良くできていて、馬もおとなしいので安心して外乗できます。

初めはファミリーで常足外乗９０分しました。他の初心者のファミリーも参加しましたが安全に楽しくできました。

続いてキャンター外乗しましたが、放牧中のたくさんの馬や牛と出会いました。上級者の方も楽しめます。

ここは自販機が無いので飲料を持参するほうが良いと思います。

アメリカの素の牧場の雰囲気を味わえるRANCHでした。観光地化されていない分、素朴で良かったです。

The schedule was as follows:
Hotel gathering → This tree, what tree → Dole → Haleiwa → Turtle watching → Horseback riding.
I had been to This tree, what tree and Dole before, so I thought it might not be necessary to go, but I planned to stop for a restroom break.
At Haleiwa, I was told to have lunch because horseback riding can be tiring, but it was still in the 10 o'clock hour and there were few open shops, so I couldn't eat.
I gave up on lunch and tried the rainbow shave ice at Matsumoto Shave Ice, but the taste was... However, I was satisfied because I could take a photo.
After that, I had a brief look at the turtles, and then it was finally time for horseback riding.

I chose the canyon route, and it was really fun.
The staff couldn't speak Japanese, but they provided a detailed explanation with pictures in Japanese at the waiting area regarding precautions for horseback riding, so I could understand the English explanations through gestures.
The staff were very nice, and they spoke to me in simple English that I could understand, which was enjoyable.
As for the horseback riding, the 90 minutes flew by. We rode through trees with mango and passion fruit trees and colorful flowers, and I enjoyed the view of the North Shore ocean from the horse's back.
I thought, what a luxurious experience this is! The ups and downs of the trail were also one of its charms. You can tell the horse gets excited as you approach the uphill.
I was so engrossed in having fun that I didn't notice until the return trip, but the skin on my fingers was peeling.
The horse is very smart, but it did try to nibble on grass and moved towards the trees at times, so it seems I got scratched somewhere.
Therefore, I think it's better to wear long pants and be mindful of your clothing.

スケジュールはこんな感じでした。
ホテル集合→この木なんの木→ドール→ハレイワ→亀見学→乗馬
この木なんの木、ドールは行ったことがあったので行かなくても…と思っていたのですが、トイレ休憩のつもりで。
ハレイワでは乗馬が疲れるのでランチを食べてきてくださいと言われたのですが、まだ時間が１０時台だったことや、オープンしているお店が少なかったので、食べれませんでした。
ランチは諦め、マツモトシェイブアイスでレインボーを頼んでみましたが、味は…。でも写真が撮れたので満足です。
その後亀をちょこっと見学して、いよいよ乗馬へ。

私は渓谷の方を選びましたが、すごく楽しかったです。
スタッフの方は日本語しゃべれませんが、乗馬の際の注意などは待合所？に絵つきの日本語で丁寧に説明があったので、英語の説明でもジェスチャーなどで理解出来ます。
スタッフの方もとてもいい方達で、私がわかる中学生程度の英語で話しかけて下さったり、楽しかったです。
肝心の乗馬ですが、９０分もあっという間。マンゴーやパッションフルーツの木や、色とりどりの花が咲いている木々の間を抜けて行ったり、馬の背からノースショアの海を眺めたり。
なんて贅沢な経験なんだと思いました。アップダウンが激しいのも魅力のひとつ。アップにさしかかると馬に気合が入るのが分かります。
夢中で楽しんでいたので帰りまで気がつかなかったのですが、指の皮が向けてました。
馬はとても利口ですが、途中草を食べようと木々の方へ寄ったり多少はするので、どこかで擦ってしまったようです。
なので、長ズボンを履くなど、服装は心がけたほうがいいと思います。

This was a wonderful way to see the whole island. Even with a little rain we had a wonderful time. The tour guide was very informative and had great knowledge of the area. He made great stops for an appropriate amount of time, helped take pictures of guests, and overall made the day go so fast. I would recommend this tour to any first timers in Oahu!

I had a wonderful experience horseback riding along the coastline while enjoying the view of the ocean at North Shore. Even as a beginner, I was able to enjoy a full 45 minutes of relaxed riding. The shrimp for lunch was also fantastic, and they provided transportation for us. It was deliciously buttery and satisfying. I feel like I might become really into horseback riding! I definitely want to go again.

ノースショアでの海を見ながらの、体験乗馬、素人でも、丸々４５分間たっぷり海岸縁を、ゆったり、乗馬を楽しませてもらいました。昼食のシュウリンプも
、わざわざ送迎してもらい、たっぷりプリプリのバター味、堪能できました。乗馬に凝ってしまいそうな気分！また、行きたいたいです。

We participated as a family with our 3-year-old child and grandparents. The hike in the park was very pleasant.

３歳の子供を連れて祖父母とともにファミリーで参加。公園のハイキングはとっても気持ちよかったです。

Me, I am not a horse lover. But I had a fantastic time. The horses were wonderful and easy to navigate.

My daughter, she rides every week. She loved the ride along the beach and really enjoyed riding western for a change.

My was has ridden before. She was a bit of a sceptic, but the beach ride got her too. She thoroughly enjoyed the ride and would love to do it again.

Highly recommended.

I originally liked thrill rides at amusement parks, but I have to admit I was scared just before jumping. However, once I jumped, it felt amazing!! I didn't feel scared at all. I understand why people get hooked on it.

In the group I participated with, there were some who weren't good with thrill rides, but even they said it was really fun after jumping and that they weren't scared while in the air.

After we finished jumping, we had to wait about two hours until our car departed, but since I was there alone, I played frisbee and catch with the staff, so the time flew by. I can only have very simple conversations in English (or rather, I mostly communicated through gestures), but the staff played with me without any signs of annoyance.

This became a really nice memory, so for those who will challenge this in the future, if you find yourself with free time after jumping, muster up the courage to talk to the local staff. I'm sure you'll create some fun memories!

もともと遊園地などの絶叫系は好きですが、さすがに飛ぶ直前は怖かったです。
でも飛んでしまえば最高に気持ちいい！！怖いという感覚は一切なかったです。ハマる気持ちが分かります。
一緒に参加したグループの中には絶叫系が苦手な人もいましたが、その人も飛んだ後は、すごく楽しかったし飛んでる間は怖くなかったと言っていました。

飛び終えた後は帰りの車が出発するまで２時間くらい待たなければいけませんでしたが、一人で参加していた私はスタッフの方たちとフリスビーやキャッチボールをして遊んでいたのであっという間でした。
私は英語は本当に簡単な会話しかできませんが（というか、ほぼ会話無しでジェスチャーのみでやりとりしました）スタッフの方たちは嫌な顔1つせず一緒に遊んでくれました。
これもとてもいい思い出になりましたので、これから挑戦する方は、飛び終えた後ヒマになったら、勇気を出して現地スタッフに話しかけてみてください。
きっと楽しい思い出ができますよ！

The best of the tour where our guide " aunt Em " she was more like a grandmother and she was so nice and sweet and she told us so many things.
The vehichle was not so good as I thought. I know the roads are pretty bad some places but in a big bus it´s more comftable.
But we visited some nice places, my favourit was the temple, the beaches and the lookouts.

Professional Staff! Incredible views over the north shore & country side that you simply cannot get on ground level. This was my first time in a helicopter...totally recommend for anyone.

This trip is worth every penny if you haven't experienced something like this before, or even for another visit. They said we were guarranteed seeing some sharks and they didn't disappoint. On my trip we saw about 15 - 20 circling the cage.

Shuttle bus picked me up from the hotel on time and we were taken to the harbour in the north. Boat ride out to the cage was about 3 miles (20 mins or so) and then the passengers were split into 3 groups of 8, each group having 20 mins in the water surrounded by 10ft sharks. Great!! No need to be nervous, you're totally safe in the cage.

The staff were friendly and ready to answer questions.

Would recommend one of the earlier trips, i went for the 9am one.

One final tip, take at least two underwater cameras as the shots are amazing!!!

The ride itself was very nice along the beach area. I was a first time rider and the staff work with me providing instructions on controlling the horse, so don't be afraid to try this experience if you have never rode a horse.

The only difficulty is that we were staying in Waikiki and the event took place on the North Shore. There is no transportation options offered by the event, but we rented a car for the day and were able to tour more of the island following the ride.

Overall, I highly recommend this activity.

It was wonderful!

すばらしかった！

I was really scared before flying, but once I was in the air, it was so much fun and felt great, and the scenery was beautiful. It truly became the best memory. I felt at ease since I could communicate in Japanese, and the instructor was fun and a nice person. I want to do it again!!

飛ぶ前はすごく怖かったけど飛んでしまえば、すごく楽しくて気持ち良くて、景色も綺麗で本当に最高の思い出になりました。日本語も通じて安心でき、インストラクターも楽しくいい人でした。またやりたいです！！

Everyone is writing various things, but if you're unsure, just go for it. I can't do a 10-meter bungee jump, but the fear was almost zero. The staff were friendly, which was great, but the driver's "give me a tip" was a bit annoying. Well, I guess there are many people who wouldn't pay unless they insist. By the way, tips alone can run about $50 per person, but it's still worth doing. I recommend it.

皆さんいろいろ書かれてますが、確かに迷ったら飛べですな。１０ｍのバンジーできない僕ですが、恐怖はゼロに近かったですね。スタッフの皆さんもフレンドリーでよかったのですが、ドライバーさんの「チップよこせ」がちょっとうざい。まあ、しつこく言わなきゃ払わんやつが多いんだろうけど。ちなみにチップだけで一人50ドル位飛んでいきますが、それでもやる価値ありますね。オススメです。

At first, I was nervous, but I really had a great time. However, I had a bit of dissatisfaction with the response from the local Japanese staff, but the fun I had outweighed that!!!

最初はドキドキでしたが、本当に楽しかったです。
ただ、現地日本人スタッフの対応に、少し不満がありましたが、それを超える楽しさでした！！！

The frilly chicken and garlic shrimp were just as expected, and I was glad to join the tour on Sunday! The location for lunch at the beach was fantastic. The town of Haleiwa felt like a nostalgic countryside town. The guide also provided detailed explanations, which made it enjoyable.

期待通りのフリフリチキン、ガーリックシュリンプ、日曜日にツアーに参加でき良かった！！
ビーチでのランチにロケーション最高でした。
ハレイワの街は、ノスタルジックな田舎町という感じ。
ガイドさんも、詳しく説明いただき楽しかったです。
