All Reviews for North Shore Tours & Things To Do

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。

This tour allowed me to experience North Shore sightseeing, horseback riding, and B-grade gourmet food all in one day, and I was very satisfied. The main highlight was definitely the horseback riding. The staff provided explanations in English, but even for someone like me who isn't proficient in English, I was able to understand about 50%, so it's fine for those who struggle with English. I also recommend the B-grade gourmet garlic shrimp.

このツアーはノースショワ観光・乗馬・B級グルメが１日で体験で出来てとても満足できました。メインはやはり乗馬です。スタッフは英語の説明ですが、英語のできない私でも50％は理解できたので、英語が苦手に方でも大丈夫です。B級グルメのガーリックシュリンプもオススメです。

Garfield was the best guide ever. He was so knowledgable and was really dedicated. Rain dampened some of the tour but was an exceptional day and experience.

This tour offers various options, but it is primarily scheduled around horseback riding, so I recommend it for those whose main purpose is horseback riding. One downside is that it can be a bit confusing because we shared the bus with people on different plans, making it hard to fully understand the explanations.

このツアーはいろいろ選べれますが、乗馬がメインでスケジュールが組まれていますので、乗馬が主目的な方にお勧めです。乗馬以外のプランの人と同じバスになったせいか、スケジュールがややこしく、説明がいまいち理解できないのが難点です。

With the free plan, you can also enjoy swimming in the sea. I was introduced to a beach where turtles are present. I had the rare experience of seeing turtles swimming nearby and napping on the sandy beach.

フリープランでは海水浴もできます。亀がいるビーチを紹介して貰いました。亀が近くを泳いでいたり、砂浜で昼寝をしていたり、貴重な体験をすることができました。

I felt more fear about signing a consent form that seemed to relinquish all my rights than I did about flying, but once it was over, I thought, "I'm glad I did it!"

It's such an extraordinary experience that it creates unforgettable memories.

If you're interested, I recommend giving it a try.

　人としての権利をすべて放棄してしまうような承諾書に
サインすることに対しては、飛ぶこと以上に恐怖を感じて
しまいましたが、終わってしまえば「やって良かった！」
と思えます。

あまりに非日常的なので、忘れられない思い出ができます。

　興味があるなら、飛んでみることをお勧めします。　　　

I'm not sure if it was because I mentioned it was my second time diving, but this time the instructor (Bandi) taught us how to operate the parachute during the fall and let us play freely (laughs). Also, before opening the parachute, perhaps because I was particularly excited, he allowed us to experience some intense movements that the previous instructor didn't do. It was amazing! I definitely want to participate again.

However, there was one issue... We were picked up at our hotel in Waikiki at 7:10 AM, and the four Japanese groups who came with us finished their dives around 10 AM, but the return vehicle didn't leave until 1 PM... During that time, there was nothing to do, and everyone was sleeping. The reason for the wait was that we were waiting for a foreign family who arrived much later to finish... I remember waiting for about three hours after finishing last time as well. If it weren't for this, I think it would have been even more enjoyable.

ダイビングをする前に２回目だと伝えたからかどうかはわかりませんが、今回のインストラクター(バンディ)は落下中にパラシュートの操作法を教えてくれて自由に遊ばせてくれました(笑)またパラシュートを開く前にも僕のテンションがやたら高かったせいか、前回のインストラクターはやってくれなかったような激しい動きも体験させてくれました。最高でした！また絶対に参加したいと考えています。
ただ一つ問題が・・・・７時１０分にワイキキのホテルピックアップし、１０時頃には一緒に来た日本人４組のダイブは終わっていたのですが、帰りの車両が出たのが１３時・・・・。その間は何もすることがなく、みんな寝ていました。
待っていた理由は、だいぶ後から来た外人家族の終わり待ちち・・・・。確か、前回も終わってから３時間程度何もやることがなく待っていた記憶があります。
これがなかったら、もっともっと楽しいと思います。

I participated because I had a great time horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch before. However, I was disappointed that the tour included other sightseeing spots as well. I had already been to all the places other than horseback riding... I think it would be easier to choose if there were more tours that focused solely on horseback riding.

以前、クアロア牧場で乗馬をした時に面白かったということで参加しました。ただ、乗馬以外の観光地もまわるようなツアー内容だったのが残念です。乗馬以外はすでに行った事がある場所ばかりだったので・・・。乗馬だけをできるツアーがもっといろいろとあると選びやすいと思います。

It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! I participated with that thought in mind, and it was absolutely addictive!!!

Actually, I have a severe fear of heights, but from 14,000 feet, I felt no fear at all and was able to enjoy it without any stress. For those who are struggling with skydiving due to a fear of heights, I highly recommend giving it a try!

By the way, in my opinion, the bungee jump from the Macau Tower at 233 meters was scarier!!!

Lastly, the DVD was edited very nicely, making for a great keepsake!

I want to experience it again!

一生に一度の体験を！との思いで参加しましたが
これは、ハマりますよ！！！

実は、極度の高所恐怖症なのですが
高度１４０００フィートからの絶景に
恐怖感など全く感じることなく
ノーストレスで楽しむことが出来ました。
高所恐怖症でスカイダイビングを悩んでいる方
是非、参加してみてください！

ちなみに私の感想としては
以前、経験したマカオタワー２３３ｍからのバンジー
の方が恐怖でした！！！

最後に・・・
ＤＶＤは、とてもいい感じに編集してくれるので
いい記念になりました！

また経験したいです！

Very informative and great for the first time coming to Hawaii but it does not take you into Diamond Head, you just go around it!

I had a wonderful time and will recommend to anyone traveling to Oahu.

Before it started, I was quite nervous. The instructor was friendly and cheerful, chatting to help ease my anxiety.
We took off in a Cessna, but it was quite cold up in the air.
When I jumped, I was so caught up in the moment that I couldn't think of anything, but I wasn't scared.
While flying, it was hard to breathe, but once the parachute opened, I felt so good that I could sense the vastness of the Earth. The ocean and islands of Hawaii were incredibly beautiful. I was deeply moved.
I highly recommend that everyone experience this at least once!!!

始まる前は、かなり緊張していました。インストラクターのかたは、気さくで明るく、不安を取り除くようにいろいろおしゃべりしてくれていました。
セスナで空へ向かいましたが、上空はかなり寒かったです。
飛び降りるときは、何も考えられないままで、夢中でしたが、怖さはなかったです。
飛んでいるときは、息が苦しかったけれど、パラシュートが開いてからは、地球の大きさを感じられるほど、気持ちがよく、ハワイの海、島は、とってもとってもきれいでした。大感激です。
ぜひ、一度は体験してほしいくらい、お勧めです！！！

Last year, I had a wonderful experience riding in the North Shore canyon, so I ended up doing canyon riding again this time. My 10-year-old grandson also wants to do it again next year. This was the first time he rode alone, and he seemed to really enjoy it, even wanting to go again on the same day. Riding in the canyon must have been the best feeling for him. Next year, I plan to have him ride in the canyon plus by the seaside.

One of the highlights of this tour is that you can enjoy sightseeing along the highway on the way to North Shore, which was a lot of fun. At the end of the ride, the staff from Happy Trails take family photos, so it's definitely a good idea to bring a camera.

In any case, I can't miss this riding plan next year. It's a shame I can't convey how I feel about this experience.

　昨年、ノースショワーの渓谷乗馬を楽しく体験できたので、今回もまた渓谷乗馬をしてしまいました。
　１０歳になる孫も、来年もやりたいとのこと、何せ今回初めて一人で乗馬をさせたのですが、とても気に入ったのか当日もう一回やりたいというほど、渓谷を乗馬することは孫にとって最高の気分だったのかもしれません。
　来年は、渓谷プラス海辺の乗馬をさせたいと思っています。
　このツアーの特徴は、ノースショアーに行くまでの間、街道沿いの観光もできるのでとっても楽しかったです。
　乗馬の最後にハッピートレイのスタッフが家族写真をとってくれるので必ずカメラは持っていったほうがいいですね。
　ともかく来年もこの乗馬プランははずせません。
　この気持ち状況を伝えられないのが残念です。

The place was about an hour away from Honolulu but that wasn't problem. The website said to be there 30 min early and we were but the horse handlers said that wasn't neccessary. They were short handed and we ended up waiting more than an hour to ride but the place was majestic so we weren't bothered by the wait. The guides prepared us and were concerned about everyones safety. The ride was perfect. They guides were professional and took time to take our pictures while we were on the beach. I would do it again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Hawaii.. It was a great family experience.
