North Shore Sunset Catamaran Sailing (from Haleiwa Harbor)

Amazingly Fun

Reviewed by: Banker Steve & UPS Jenn

My husband and I took this cruise and it was absolutely amazing, so amazing we decided to go for a second one the next day. Captain Don and his crew were friendly, fun, and gave us one of the best days in Oahu that we had our entire trip. You can't pass this up if you have the opportunity to do it! Not only are there amazing views, but the serenity and tranquility of being on the open ocean will give you a different perspective of the beauty of Hawaii.

Oahu Island Guided Tour, Waimea Waterfall Swim & Dole Pineapple Farm

Fantastic Day !!!!!!

Reviewed by: Dan & Brenda

Loved the tour. Our tour guide was "Ed" very friendly and knowledgeable. Also entertaining.
This was a fantastic day. It was nice to go and see the places we wouldn't have seen if we had driven around the island. So much would have been missed if we hadn't taken the tour.
We do plan to do it again sometime. We would recommend this to anyone wanting a nice adventure.

We are a couple over sixty, and this was our second time participating, following last year. We were able to extend the canter longer than last year, which made it even more enjoyable. Both instructors were kind and attentive. We definitely plan to participate again next time.

私たちは還暦を過ぎた夫婦ですが、去年に続いて2度目の参加でした。去年よりキャンターを長くすることが出来ましたので、より楽しかったです。二人のインストラクターも親切で、丁寧に対応してくれました。
次回も是非、参加しようと思っています。

This is my second time participating. Last time, I was a bit anxious since it was my first experience, but I wanted to feel that refreshing sensation again, so I signed up once more. The staff's response was good, and I am satisfied. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I will definitely sign up.

Great day

Reviewed by: Rickster

I took the biking tour through North Shore. Justin was a very good guide and showed us the ins and outs of the North Shore community. Justin showed me the best routes to take with my mountain bike. The tour was right on time and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour as it is a great value. It was a nice touch that water and snacks were provided on board.

乗馬体験(0.5~2時間) 2歳から参加OKの子供向けコースやサンセット、貸切ランチ付きなど選べるコースで広大な牧場を満喫!<ガンストック牧場/現地集合>

Even small children can ride horses. 小さな子供でも乗馬できます

Reviewed by: hide

I participated this time with three children aged 7, 5, and 3. I searched for various options to let the kids try horseback riding, but most places required participants to be over 10 years old. However, I found one that offered "Keiki (children) horseback riding" and decided to join.

At first, I thought they would be riding small ponies, but in reality, they rode regular horses. The three of them had some experience with ponies, but this was their first time on regular horses.

Two staff members from the ranch accompanied us with three horses, holding the reins as we enjoyed horseback riding for over 30 minutes across the vast ranch.

We didn't just go around in circles; we also climbed up a hill to see other horses in the pasture and even spotted a newborn foal, making for a fun time.

The kids seemed to have a great time and expressed their desire to ride again.

I understand that regular horseback riding tours are for ages 7 and up, so I would like to participate in a tour again in a few years.

Although Japanese is not spoken, I think participating itself is not an issue.

今回7才5才3才の3人の子供連れで参加しました。
子供たちに乗馬をさせてやりたいと色々と探しましたが、だいたいのところは10歳以上という中で唯一「ケイキ(子供)乗馬」というのを見つけて、参加しました。

最初はポニーのような小さい馬かなと思っていましたが、実際は普通の馬で、3人ともポニーは何度か経験がありましたが、普通の馬は初めてでした。

3頭の馬に牧場のスタッフが二人付いてくれて、手綱をもって広大な牧場を30分以上にわたって乗馬を楽しみました。

サークルの中をグルグル回るだけでなく、けっこう岡の上まで上って他の馬の放牧場を見たり生まれたばかりの子馬を見たりと楽しい時間でした。

子供たちもまた乗馬をしたいと、大変楽しかったようです。

普通の乗馬ツアーは7歳以上とのことでしたので、また数年後にツアーに参加したいと思います。

日本語は通じませんが、参加自体は問題ないと思います。

絶景スカイダイビング 一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>

Great excitement! 大興奮

Reviewed by: タカマル

It was the best experience.
I have ridden most of the thrill rides in the country, but the excitement I felt during skydiving surpasses anything I've experienced in the past.
The "fear" at the moment of jumping from 4,000 meters, the "excitement" while falling, and the "view" after the parachute opens are beyond words.
Before you jump, you have to sign a waiver that means "everything is at your own risk," but if you have even 1% interest in skydiving, you should definitely try it. Even with 99% anxiety and fear, the friendly and skilled staff will make it enjoyable.
If you have a partner or friends, please do it together; I think it will create unforgettable memories.
Unfortunately, my partner was too scared to jump from a 5-meter cliff, so they ran away, and I couldn't share the excitement with them. Also, I was embarrassed by my face in the video recording.
Finally, I want to express my gratitude to all the staff who took care of us and say, "Thank you!" and "Skydiving is the best!!!"

最高の体験でした。
 私は、国内の殆どの絶叫系ライドを乗っていますが、その時の興奮は過去のものであり、今後スカイダイビングで経験した「興奮」を上回るものはないと思います。
 上空4000メートルから、飛び出す瞬間の「恐怖」、落ちていく途中の「興奮」、パラシュートが開いた後の「景色」は、言葉では言い表せません。
 飛ぶ前に「全ては自己責任」という意味合いの「承諾書」にサインしないといけませんが、スカイダイビングに1%でも興味のある方は、是非やってください。99%の不安と恐怖があっても、優しくて優秀なスタッフが楽しませてくれます。
 カップルや友達がいる人は、是非一緒にやってください、一生の思い出作りになると思います。
 今回、残念だったのは、私の相方が5メートルの崖から飛び降りれないほどのビビリさんであったので、逃げ出してしまい、興奮を分かち合えなかった事とビデオ撮影して頂いた自分の顔があまりにイタかった事です。
 最後に、今回お世話になったスタッフの皆さんに「ありがとう」の言葉と「スカイダイビング最高!!!」の言葉を贈りたいです。

If you've never seen wild sharks...

Reviewed by: Aaron

this is definitely the activity for you. The staff aboard the boat are very friendly and knowledgeable (thanks Jeremy and Phillip!), and there WILL be sharks. I've actually been on a dive with sharks without a cage, so this wasn't as breathtaking for me, but if you've never seen sharks in the wild, I highly recommend this activitiy.

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Outstanding! ~ Don't go hungover

Reviewed by: Sadiej

This activity is exceptional & absolutely delivers!
As a group of three we boarded the North Shore boat in various stages of hangover from an international conference. One mate was viciously seasick, another repeatedly seasick and I was moderately seasick (only had to hang my head over the boat once). It is a testament to this excursion that although we all felt absolutely awful we thought it was AMAZING and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Do not pass up the opportunity to see these incredible animals in crystal clear deep waters. Be sure to have something for motion sickness as it is a bumpy ride on the boat and in the cage.

Gunstock Ranch ガンストック牧場

Reviewed by: michiru

I participated in the advanced course at Gunstock Ranch with my sister. If you're coming from Waikiki, I think it's easy to aim for the Polynesian Cultural Center as a landmark.

We were asked how much experience we had riding horses, and after doing some trotting in the circle, we set off. After walking along the mountain path, we suddenly broke into a canter through the woods. When the lead horse, Sara, started running, my horse quickly followed suit, and my sister's horse behind me joined in as well.

We ran quite a bit. It was my first time cantering in Western style, and I was a bit worried, but it turned out to be quite easy even with the long stirrups. It felt really good.

While observing the condition of the trail, we then trotted up and down the hills. At the top, Sara picked some guava fruit for us and took some pictures. The descent offered beautiful scenery, so we leisurely walked.

The weather was great, and it was a very fulfilling hour. If I have the chance, I would love to visit Gunstock Ranch again.

ガンストック牧場上級者コースに妹と参加してきました。
 ワイキキから行く場合、とりあえずポリネシアカルチャーセンターを目指して行くとわかりやすいと思います。
 どれくらい馬に乗っているかを尋ねられ、サークル内で速歩などをして、いざ出発。
 山道をてくてく進んだ後、木立の中をいきなり駈歩です。
 先頭のサラが走ると、私の馬もすぐに駈歩。私の後ろの妹の馬も一緒に走ります。
 結構走りました。ウエスタンの駈歩は初めてで、少し心配しましたが、長い鐙でも走りやすいものなんですね。すごく気持ちよかったです。
 道の状態を見ながら、後は速歩で坂道を上ったり下ったり。
 頂上では、サラがグアバの実を取ってくれて、写真も撮ってくれました。
 下りは景色がいいので、のんびり常歩です。
 お天気も良く、とても充実した1時間でした。また機会があれば、もう一度ガンストック牧場を訪れたいです。

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Sharks in June

Reviewed by: Malcolm Fawcett

This was a great trip and exceeded our expectations. Seeing sharks circling up from the deep to come and feed in close attendence with Trumpetfish and a random Tuna was a sight I will never forget. The water was so blue and clear that it was like watching on film. If there is one thing that you do when you go to Hawaii then this should be it. With the correct balance between ecology, safety and fun this must be the best activity by a mile and it still leaves time for surfing in the afternoon! Brilliant.

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

The beach part was great not "hike"

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The description of the Falls "hike" should be reworded to "casual stroll". All the interesting parts that might be qualified as hikes were barred as off limits for falling rock or just closed off. Also, the change in elevation was laughable. It was more like going to a park.

The waterfall actually had water, but not enough water yet for swimming, which was teh main point of it. That part was very underwhelming.

The snorkeling on teh beach was great. Amazing area and great knowledgeable staff/tour guides. highly recommend that part.
