All Reviews for North Shore Tours & Things To Do

A tour that allows for efficient sightseeing during free time. It's enjoyable to just hop on the bus and explore without thinking too much! Although it was a bus tour, it was very efficient and offered plenty of free time, so I was able to go around without any stress. Our driver, Chris, was fluent in Japanese and even though it was an English tour, he provided guidance in both English and Japanese! He drove skillfully, so there was no worry about motion sickness. The conversations during the tour and the explanations at each landmark were excellent, making the travel time enjoyable!

At the Dole Plantation, we had pineapple soft serve, which was quite a large portion, so sharing between two people is recommended. After about 20 minutes, we arrived at Haleiwa, where we had two hours of free time and received a recommended map, making it easy to explore! We enjoyed both the pineapple burger and garlic shrimp recommended by our driver before heading back. It was a very fun time!

とっても楽しい時間でした

Being able to pilot a Cessna is a valuable experience. I took off and made turns from the captain's seat. The pilot was a Japanese man, which made me feel at ease since he spoke Japanese. I found myself wanting a pilot's license. I want to do it again.

セスナを操縦できることは貴重な体験。キャプテン席で離陸や旋回をやりました。パイロットは日本人の男性で日本語で安心しました。操縦免許が欲しくなりました。またやりたいです。

Participants: 4 (parents in their 70s and a middle-aged couple)

The car was spacious and comfortable. Even at 180 cm tall, I was able to sit comfortably.

I requested the following places in advance: a beach where we could see sea turtles, "This Tree, What Tree?", Nico’s Pier 38, Whole Foods, the King Kamehameha statue, and Tantalus. I also asked for more frequent bathroom breaks.

On the day of the tour, Ken arrived before the meeting time. Ken is of Japanese-American descent and speaks calm, polite Japanese. Although we were all meeting for the first time and would spend 8 hours together, his personality made it easy to feel at ease.

In addition to the pre-requested stops, we were able to visit towns and recommended spots along the way during bathroom breaks. (After the beach where we might see sea turtles, we had some free time to explore the town of Haleiwa. Fortunately, we were able to see swimming sea turtles!)

Inside the car, we heard useful information from a local perspective about Hawaii, including recommendations for restaurants.

At the destinations, Ken provided information related to the places we visited (like good restaurants and bathroom locations) and allowed us free time to explore. I appreciated the consideration that allowed us to enjoy our time without feeling rushed.

My parents in their 70s were very satisfied, and it became a wonderful memory for my husband and me as well. We would love to do this again if the opportunity arises. A hui hou!

Small group so the day moves through well- they have a wonderful mapping of local spots

Doors off makes it feel like your flying! Was a great tour and worth the higher pricing.

We were huge fans of the show, so this was a dream to ride the exact model chopper!

So easy, such a good price, and so much knowledge on Oahu!

As a first step towards my middle school son's dream of becoming a pilot, we had a flight experience, and I'm really glad we did. Since he still finds it difficult to understand English, we hoped for someone who could speak Japanese, and we were fortunate to have a wonderful person with a lovely smile, which made us feel at ease during the flight. The owner was very dedicated and shared amazing stories that felt like a lecture, leaving us deeply moved until the very end. I was also very happy to hear the kind words encouraging us to reach out anytime to help make my son's dream a reality.

Honestly, it wasn't cheap, so I hesitated, but the experience was truly worth it, and the breathtaking views have become a wonderful memory, so I highly recommend it!

将来パイロットになりたいとの中学生の息子の夢への第一歩として操縦体験をしましたが、本当に体験できてよかったです。まだ英語の理解が難しいので日本語の話せる方を希望しましたが、笑顔の素敵な方で安心してフライトを楽しむことができました。オーナーさんはとても努力家の方で講演会レベルの素敵なお話を聞かせて頂き最後まで感動しっぱなしでした。息子の夢が更に現実に向かえる様いつでも連絡してください。ととてありがたいお言葉も大変嬉しかったです。
正直お安くはないので悩みましたが本当にそれ以上の感動があり、あの絶景が素敵な思い出になりましたのでお勧めです‼︎

I experienced it for the first time in the summer, and I couldn't forget the excitement from that time, so I made another reservation. I'm not good with heights, but once I went above the clouds, the beautiful scenery and thrill made me forget about my fear of heights. I wanted to experience it at least once in my life, and after trying it last time, it was such a wonderful experience that I want to do it again.

夏に初めて体験したのですが、その時の感動が忘れられずまた予約しました。高所が苦手ですが、雲より上にいってしまうと綺麗な景色と興奮で高さの怖さはあまりなかったです。人生で一度は体験したいと思って前回やってみましたが、またやりたくなるほど素晴らしい経験でした。

On New Year's Eve, I participated in a tour the day after my arrival. The Japanese driver was very reassuring, and it was great to hear various stories about Hawaii. It was my first time on the North Shore, and despite my worries about the weather, we were blessed with good conditions. Even during a relaxed time, we were able to hit all the key points, making it a fantastic start to my time in Hawaii. I'm grateful for that.

In particular, it was excellent to visit the rock that the famous baseball player, Shohei Ohtani, also visited. I was able to build upon the information I received to plan the following days. It turned out to be the best trip to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

大晦日、到着の翌日にツアーに参加しました。
日本人ドライバーさんでとても安心感があり色々とハワイの話が聞けて良かったです。
初めてのノースショアでしたが、心配していた天気にも恵まれ、ゆっくりした時間の中でも、ポイントはしっかり押えることができ、最高のハワイスタートになりました。感謝です。
　特に、某有名野球、大谷選手も訪れたという岩を見に行けたのは、秀逸でした。
　頂いた情報を元に翌日以降の予定に色々と肉付けさせていただきました。
　最高のハワイ旅行になりました、有難うございました。

My experience during my previous visit was so wonderful that this was my second time. It's difficult to communicate unless you have at least a basic understanding of English, but there are Japanese staff members on-site.

At the beginning, you have to sign various waivers on a machine, but you can easily manage with Google Translate. I went alone both times without knowing much English, and I managed just fine.

One thing that caught my attention was that there are different height plans. I happened to become friends with a Japanese person on the same flight, and it seemed they had a different height plan, but we took off from the same place at the same time. I don't really understand feet, so I'm not sure how that works in practice.

Still, the experience itself is something I think everyone should try at least once in their life. The support from the person flying with you was perfect. I will definitely use this service again.

以前来た時の体験が素晴らし過ぎて今回2回目の体験でした。
基本英語がなんとなくわかる人でないとコミュニケーションが難しいですが、一応現地に日本語スタッフの方はいます。
最初に機械で色々と誓約書にサインなどがありますが、google翻訳で余裕でいけます。
僕は英語はほとんどわからないまま、2回とも１人で行きました。なんとかなります。

1点気になったのは、高さのプランがありますがたまたま同じ便だった日本人の方と仲良くなり、その方は他の高さのプランだったようですが、同時に同じところから飛びました。
そもそもフィートの感覚がわからないので実際どうなのか？

それでも体験自体は人生で1度は体験して欲しいぐらい最高です。
一緒に飛んでくれる方のサポートも完璧でした。
必ずまた利用させてもらいます。

I have a boating license, so next I pursued an airplane license, which I had been interested in for a while and finally experienced. On the day of the flight, there was a strong south wind, and we took off heading north, flying down the East Coast and returning west over Waikiki Beach. The various views from above and being able to look down at Diamond Head from the Cessna were breathtaking, and I was lucky enough to see a rainbow below!

船舶ライセンスはあるので，次は飛行機ライセンスと以前から興味があり体験しました。
当日、南風が強く北回りで離陸して東海岸を南下してワイキキビーチ上空を西に帰還するルートでした。上空からの様々な景色やダイヤモンドヘッドをセスナで見下ろせるのは、圧巻なのと運良く眼下に虹🌈もみれてラッキーでした。

One of the things I wanted to try at least once in my life was skydiving. This site made it easy and affordable to make a reservation, and on the day of the jump, a car arrived to pick me up at a clear location. Before trying it, I was nervous and worried that I might not be able to do it, but the friendly reception staff and instructors really lifted my spirits. I felt safe and had a great time, for which I am grateful. I also opted for a video shoot, and it turned out to be a wonderful keepsake. I definitely want to invite friends and family to jump with me at Go Jump again.

人生で一度はやってみたい事の一つにスカイダイビングを考えていました．
こちらのサイトでは簡単でお手頃に予約ができて当日はわかりやすい場所に迎えの車が到着しました．
やってみる前は緊張してできないかもしれないと不安でしたが丁寧な受付のスタッフやインストラクターが気分を上げてくれました．
安全で楽しめて感謝しています。
オプションで撮影も頼みましたがとても思い出に残る素敵な動画に仕上がっていました。また是非Go Junpで友人や家族を誘って飛んでみたいです。

You will slowly ride back and forth along a coastal course that takes about 30 minutes one way. The guide will take photos at beautiful spots along the way. The horseback riding guide only speaks English, but the horses are very well-trained and will walk on their own, so even if you don't speak English, you'll be just fine. It's suitable for those who are riding for the first time as well. It's a very relaxing experience!

片道30分の海沿いのコースををゆっくり往復します。途中の景色が綺麗なところでガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれます。乗馬のガイドさんは英語しか話しませんが、お馬さんがとても慣れていて、勝手に歩いて行ってくれるので英語ができなくてもなんとか大丈夫です。初めて乗馬される方でも問題ないです。とてもほのぼのできますよ〜

I experienced the zip line at Kualoa Ranch last time, but this time it was many times more wonderful. Each line was longer and more thrilling than at Kualoa Ranch. The connecting activities like the buggy ride and the vertical drop were better than I expected. The staff were also kinder and friendlier than at Kualoa Ranch.
The downside is that you have to get to the local Kahuku by yourself, such as by rental car. If you have a rental car, you can enjoy a drive along the coastline from Waikiki, and you can also stop by Haleiwa on the way back, making your trip more efficient.
If you're considering the zip line at Kualoa Ranch, I recommend making the effort to choose Climb Works.

　前回クアロアランチでジップラインを体験しましたが、今回をその何倍以上も素晴らしかった。1本1本のラインがクアロアランチよりも長く、迫力がありました。繋ぎのアクティビティのバギー走行や垂直落下も予想以上に良かったです。スタッフもクアロアランチより親切でフレンドリーでした。
　短所は、現地カフクまでレンタカーなどで自力で行かなければならないことです。レンタカーがある場合はワイキキからドライブを兼ねて海岸線を走れるし、帰りにハレイワなどにも立ち寄れるので旅の効率も良いです。
　クアロアランチでジップラインを考えるなら、頑張ってクライムワークスを選ぶことをお勧めします。

We had an amazing tour !!
It was so much fun and worth the money.
The driver was so informative and helped to make the day even more enjoyable 😊
I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting!! Also a great tour for those with mobility struggles.

The zip line was high and long, absolutely fantastic! Along the way, we cracked and ate macadamia nuts, and the initial transport was by buggy, so we had a variety of experiences. Although they were out of stock, it seems we could have eaten bananas if they were available.

The tour guide spoke only English, but it wasn't a problem since you can just watch what others are doing, and you don't really need detailed explanations.

You have to jump down from platforms about 10 meters high at two spots, so you’ll be jumping from a height (I’m not great with heights either, but the cable slows down your fall, so it was okay).

Since it was a plan without pickup, we went by rental car. I thought driving would be a hassle, but there are plenty of sightseeing spots around and all the way to Waikiki, and driving isn’t too complicated, so I recommend renting a car.

ジップラインは高く＆長く最高でした！途中マカダミアナッツを割って食べたり、最初の移動もバギーだったりと、色んな体験ができました。在庫切れでしたが、バナナがあれば食べれたみたいです。
ツアーガイドは英語だけですが、他の人がやっている所をみれば、特に細かな説明もいらないので問題ないです。
2カ所ほど10mくらいの高さの台からジャンプして降りなければならないので、高い所から飛び降ります(私も超苦手ですがケーブルで落ちる速度は減速できるので大丈夫でした)。
送迎なしプランだったのでレンタカーで行きました。運転面倒だなと思いましたが、周辺からワイキキまで沢山観光スポットがあるし、運転はそんなにややこしく無いので、レンタカーでもオススメです。

It was the activity I was looking forward to the most, and I had a lot of fun, but the sea conditions weren't very good, and the boat was rocking a lot, which made me feel seasick. However, I was glad that I could see sharks properly and took a lot of videos.

1番楽しみにしてたアクティビティで、とても楽しかったのですが、海のコンディションがあまり良くなかったのか、船がすごく揺れて酔いました。
けど、サメもちゃんと見れてたくさん動画を撮れてよかったです

It was truly an amazing experience! The tour was led by a knowledgeable guide who explained everything in detail, allowing us to learn about Hawaii's nature and history. We also enjoyed driving off-road in buggies and navigating the hilly course at the playground. Getting covered in red dirt afterwards was also quite fun. Keola and Raymond were our guides! Keola was the main guide and only spoke English, so it might be tough if you can't understand English. However, Raymond speaks Japanese, so I look forward to future tours.

ほんとに最高な体験です！
ツアーは知識豊富なガイドが丁寧に説明してくれハワイの自然や歴史を学ぶことができます。またバギーでオフロードを気持ちよく走ったり、プレイグラウンドで起伏もあるコースを走ったりと楽しめました。
終わった後に全身が赤土まみれになるのもまた楽しかったかな。
ケオラとレイモンドにガイドを担当して貰いました！
ケオラがメインガイドで英語のみのため、英語のヒアリング出来ないと厳しいかもしれません。レイモンドが日本語できるので今後に期待します。

【Pickup】
They spoke entirely in English. Everyone around was laughing, but I could hardly understand... I kept my eyes closed.
【Reception】
It's all in English, but you can manage with a mobile translation app for check-in using an iPad. For the initial ID input, please enter the last 7 digits from the right of the Confirmation # on your voucher. At the reception, I think I was asked, "Don't you need a photo?" so I answered No. Therefore, there was no additional charge, but looking back, it might have been nice to have a photo. They handed me a paper with a printed QR code, and I went outside. There was a monitor displaying the order, and when my name was called, I received a brief explanation and put on the gear to wait.
【Experience】
I was paired with someone who could speak a little Japanese. They couldn't speak any English, but we managed. The moment we jumped was not scary at all, probably because the ground felt so far away. During the free fall, it was so much fun that I kept screaming. After the parachute opened, we descended slowly while enjoying the view of the streets of Hawaii.
I'm glad I experienced it.

【ピックアップ】　
英語オンリーで色々話してくれます。周りは笑っていましたが、ほぼ聞き取れず・・・目を閉じていました。
【受付】
英語オンリーですが、ipadを使ってチェックインするため携帯の翻訳で何とかなります。最初のID？を入力する欄は、バウチャーのConfirmation #: の一番右側7桁を入力してください。受付では、「写真は要らないの？」っと言われた気がしたのでNoと答えました。なので追加料金はかかっていませんが、今となっては、写真ありにしていてもよかったかもしれません。QRコードが印刷された紙を渡され外に出ます。順番が書かれたモニターがあり、名前を呼ばれたら簡単な説明と装備を装着して待機します。
【体験】
日本語を少し話せる方とバディーを組んでもらいました。まったく英語が話せませんが何とかなりました。飛ぶ瞬間は、地面が遠いからかまったく怖くありません。フリーフォール中は楽しすぎてずっと叫んでました。パラシュートを開いた後はハワイの街並みを見ながらゆっくり降りていきます。
体験してよかった

I was very nervous since it was my first time, but once I actually did it, it was incredibly refreshing and I felt more energized than I ever have before! I want to do it again!

初めてでとても緊張しましたが、いざやってみるとすごく爽快で今まで経験したことがないぐらいテンションが上りました！
またしてみたいと思います！

This was the best way for us to see Oahu! We were picked up close to our hotel. We had just the right amount of time at each stop. Our driver was fun and informative! This tour was the highlight of our stay!

I experienced the 60-minute two-person Cessna plan. It was great that we could communicate in Japanese during the pre-flight lecture and the flight. I was nervous at first, but as the pilot explained the controls and the scenery on the ground during the flight, I relaxed and was able to enjoy the movements of the airplane and the view from the sky. After the flight, we were offered drinks and snacks. The transportation and office staff were also kind, making for a comfortable experience. It was a very enjoyable day, and I'm glad I participated.

2人乗セスナ60分プランを体験しました。
事前の講義、フライトとも日本語でコミュニケーションできて良かったです。
最初は緊張していましたが、飛行中、パイロットの方に操縦や地上の景色などの説明して頂くうちに緊張が解けて、飛行機の動きや空からの眺めを楽しめるようになりました。
フライト終了後に、飲み物やお菓子を頂きました。
送迎やオフィスのスタッフも親切で、快適に過ごせました。
とても楽しい1日でした。体験して良かったです。

I can hardly speak English, but both the reception staff and the instructors were very polite and helped me smoothly enjoy the experience. The instructor was great at getting everyone excited, and it turned out to be a very fun day!

英語はほとんど話せませんが、受付の方、インストラクターさん共に丁寧に対応してくださりスムーズに体験までできました。
インストラクターさんは盛り上げ上手でとても楽しい日になりました！

It spun around in a service, and afterwards, I felt like I was car sick. My relative who went with me said they weren't spun around, so I think it depends on the instructor. It was a good experience.

サービス？でグルグル回転してくれて、
終わったあとに、車酔いみたいになりました。
一緒に行った親戚は回されなかったと言っていたので、インストラクターによるのかなと思います。
良い経験になりました。

When I jumped, the ground felt too far away, and it didn't seem real. So, it wasn't as scary as I had thought. As I got closer, I felt that the scenery was beautiful.

飛び降りる時、地上が遠すぎて、現実味がなかった。なので思っていたよりも怖くなかった。
近づくにつれて景色が綺麗だなと感じました。

It was supposed to be a maximum of six participants, but there were more than six on the day I attended. Also, it was stated to be two hours, but it was less than that. In the water, it felt like we were in for about 40 minutes.

There is a building for check-in, but there were no staff present at the time, which made it uncomfortable to wait alone in an empty area. (There were some people from a nearby cage tour, which added to the confusion.)

You have to hold onto the rope on the side of the boat at all times. The waves were high, and if you accidentally let go, you would get scolded for safety reasons. While waiting with the rope, one by one, we were called by the guide, and we had to swim from the rope to where the guide was. However, it felt pointless to dive when the sharks were not around during the count. There were sandbar sharks far away, and that day there were hammerheads and blacktips, but no tiger sharks. Since it’s nature, that’s understandable, but honestly, the sharks were farther away than I expected, and the water was a bit murky, so I wished I could see them up close.

When the boat's engine revs, the sharks come up a bit. It was okay to bring a GoPro and take pictures. You can rent fins, snorkels, masks, and rash guards. The guide only speaks English, so it can be tough if you don’t understand.

Also, please note that there is no place to change. The nearby restroom is for women, but there are no private stalls. Around noon, a man (possibly a homeless person?) came out of the women's restroom. There was also a dog that seemed to belong to him, and it smelled quite bad, so I quickly changed on the street in the parking lot.

MAX６名とのことですが、参加した日の回は６名以上いました。
また、２時間と記載がありますが２時間無しです。海の中にはいっているのは体感的に４０分あるかないかくらいでしょうか。
受付は建物がありますが、スタッフは居ない時間帯で誰も居ないところでポツンと待つのは不安でした。（近くのCageありのツアーの方がいたりしてちょっと混乱）
常に船の側面にある紐をつかんでいないといけません。波が高く、煽られてうっかり手が離れてしまったりしたら怒られます。（安全面のため）
紐を持って待って居ると一人ずつガイドに呼ばれたら、紐からガイドがいるところまで泳いで、ガイドのカウントで潜りますが、サメが居ないところでそのカウントで潜らせられても何も…という感じでした。下の遠くの方にサンドバーシャークがわらわら居る感じで、その日はハンマーとブラックチップも居ましたが、タイガーは居ませんでした。自然相手なのでそこは仕方ないですが、思っているより全体的にサメが遠かった＋白濁り気味でしたのでもう少し近くで見たかったというのが本音。
船のエンジンをふかすとサメが少し浮上してきます。
GoPro持っていって撮ることはOKでした。
フィン・シュノーケル・マスク・ラッシュガードは借りれます。
ガイドの方は英語対応になりますので理解出来ないと厳しいです。
また着替える場所がありませんのでご注意ください。
近くのトイレは女性側ですが個室扉がありません。
また昼頃ですが男性（路上生活者でしょうか？）が、女子トイレの中から出てきました。
またその方が飼っていると思われる犬がいて獣臭もすごかったですので、私は駐車場の路上でささっと着替えました。

Will was an amazing instructor. He was patient, informative and very kind. We felt safe and learned so much. Everyone at the company had exceptional customer service! We look forward to returning soon.

A couple in their 50s jumped with their three children in their 20s! It was a great experience. The price is higher, but I recommend jumping with a photographer to capture the images.

50代夫婦、20代の3人の子供たちとジャンプ！
良い経験になりました。
料金は高くなりますが　カメラマンと一緒に飛んで
画像を残すことをおすすめします。

Good tour, highly recommend. Driver was great, made extra stops.
