Wasn't quite sure what to expect when you hear you're swimming with sharks without a cage. It was a very neat experience. The sharks pretty much stay below you. The crew does a good job of explaining their behavior and what to do around them. The crew was very knowledgable and made the tour exciting. I think the only thing I would change is maybe running the line that everyone hangs onto away from the boat. I felt like at times the waves would bring me back into the boat. It would be nice to just float on the surface away from the boat. But it was still very cool, the crew lets you go out and dive down and "hang" with the sharks for a little bit. Definitely a bucket list item. Would suggest brining your own snorkel gear if you find it hard to fit rentals. Bring a GoPro too! But if you forget, they're taking video and pics of everyone the whole time! Other than that, book it and go have fun!! Well worth the time and money!!

I signed up for the local meet-up and drop-off with a T-shirt included. Most of the staff didn't speak much Japanese, but we managed. Due to bad weather, I received a cancellation notice via phone and email the day before, but after some correspondence through email, we were able to reschedule and successfully go up. The staff were very kind and attentive.
On the day, the weather was great, and I got to see the most amazing views; it was an out-of-this-world experience and so much fun. Once the parachute opened, I was tossed around, so it's better to scream and enjoy rather than stay quiet to avoid getting nauseous.
There was a notice to wear long pants in advance, but it was fine to wear shorts at your own risk. Initially, I didn't sign up for photos and videos, but they will definitely take some just in case, and later, an edited sample will be sent to you via email. You can still purchase the photo and video data after seeing the sample. I bought it later.
One downside was that the included T-shirt was only available in foreign size XXL, which was too big to even use as sleepwear. Due to the weak yen and rising prices, it has become quite expensive compared to before, but I would love to fly again if I get the chance.
現地集合解散のTシャツ付きに申し込みました。
ほとんど日本語は通じませんがなんとかなりました。天候不良で前日に電話&メールでキャンセル連絡がありましたがメールでのやり取りで日程変更し、無事に飛ぶ事が出来ました。スタッフの方はとても親切丁寧でした。
当日は天気も良くて最高の景色も見られましたし異次元の体験で楽しかったです。パラシュートが開いた後は振り回されますので黙らないでキャーキャー騒いじゃったほうが酔わないですよ。
事前に長ズボン着用の案内がありましたが自己責任で短パンでも大丈夫でした。
最初に写真&動画を申し込まなくでも念のため必ず撮影してくれて、後程、編集されたサンプルがメールで送られてきます。それを見た後でも写真&動画データを買うことも出来ます。私は後から買いました。
ちょっと残念だったのは、付いているTシャツが外国サイズのXXLしか残って無くで寝間着にもならないことでした。
円安&物価高で以前よりは随分と高額になりましたが機会があればまた飛びたいです。

I was considering going with another skydiving company, but they didn't offer transportation, and when I asked their partner company, they said they couldn't operate due to not reaching the minimum number of participants, so I couldn't go on my own. That's why I quickly signed up here.
It was mentioned that there could be a wait time of several hours, but we gathered before 9 AM, arrived in 50 minutes from Waikiki, and once we got there, I checked in on a tablet myself. They gave me four quarters for the $1 locker fee, and after putting my belongings in, I quickly got ready and boarded the plane. It was so fast that I didn't even have time to mentally prepare, and before I knew it, we were flying! We were back in Waikiki by 12:30.
We didn't watch any explanatory videos, and there was only a brief explanation from the instructor in English with gestures, but everything went smoothly! It became a great memory, and I was able to make good use of my afternoon time, which was really nice. I also needed to tip the instructor and the driver for the transportation.
他のスカイダイビングの会社で行こうと考えてましたが、送迎がなく、提携会社に尋ねても最少催行人数に達しないから行けないとのことで、自力で行くことも出来なかった為、急遽こちらで申し込みました。
待ち時間が数時間かかることもあると書かれてましたが、9時前に集合し、ワイキキから50分で到着し、着いたらタブレットで自分でチェックインし、ロッカー代の1ドル分クォーター4枚を下さり、荷物を入れたらすぐに支度をして飛行機に乗り込みました。心の準備が出来ないくらい早くて、あっという間に飛びました!
12:30にはワイキキに戻ってこられました。
説明のビデオなども見せられず、インストラクターさんの英語とジェスチャーでの説明が少しあっただけでしたが、何事もなく飛べました!
いい思い出になり、午後の時間も有効に使うことができ、とっても良かったです。
インストラクターさんと送迎のドライバーさんにもチップが必要でした。

Reserved this tour online a day before the event and was pleasantly impressed by the prompt response by the staff confirming my reservations. The driver, Lola, arrived on time & full of positive energy! The bus was so comfortable and clean with excellent accommodations & great temperature! Lola was such a great & fun host, very informative & had a lot of historical knowledge about each destination. She really made it so fun & enjoyable for all of us! I also felt safe on her bus. She brought us all a Hawaiian poi "donut" - which was absolutely delicious, and water! Lola is very personable & likable. She is very proud of her heritage & studied cultural history at the University which explains her great speaking skills & knowledge. I felt very entertained & a bit more informed of Hawaiian culture. The tour itself drove us by many beautiful beaches on the North Shore, rich & famous neighborhoods, gorgeous landscapes, saw many rock formations such as the Chinaman hat, alligator, rabbit popping out & the lion rock. Did some coffee & a variety of macadamia nuts tasting, visited the Dole Plantation, the Byodo-In Temple, saw a black goose, 2 huge turtles and a seal relaxing on the beach! Enjoyed the quaint beachside town of Haleiwa & the various food trucks! We ate coconut shrimp from one of many good trucks in the area, which I highly recommend and then stopped by a new Mexican restaurant for a drink. I highly recommend this tour, you will gain so much knowledge, there's shopping at each stop, food & drinks! Be sure to try an ice cream cone at the Dole plantation too! Again, Lola was an excellent host and she kept us on schedule!

The English was easy to understand, and it was a safe experience with a small group. The horseback riding experience in the beautiful sea of the North Shore was incredibly moving. The riding time was 1.5 hours, and it was more cost-effective than other tours with Japanese-speaking guides and transportation. We used hui car share for transportation, so after horseback riding, we were able to leisurely enjoy food walking in Haleiwa. It became a very good memory. Next time, I would like to try sunset horseback riding.

I had a wonderful experience! I wanted to share that the service was better than what was listed on Veltra.
〇 Free use of lockers
The staff will hold your luggage and store it in a locked locker in the staff area. You don't need to prepare a 25-cent coin.
〇 A wide range of free rentals
The following items were available for free rental:
- Long-sleeve jumper
- Sunglasses
- Smartphone strap for carry-on
- GoPro strap
(You can use it if you have a case that can attach the strap.)
*Additional notes about belongings*
- Long-sleeve jumper
The temperature during the flight was just right with the thick jumper I borrowed. A thin long-sleeve for air conditioning might be too cold... I recommend borrowing the jumper.
- Smartphone and GoPro strap
I was grateful to have sturdy items available for free rental!
【Feedback】
There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but I could understand most things through illustrated guides and safety videos. I didn't feel particularly anxious about the flight. All the staff were cheerful and kind.
The seat positions are assigned, so you cannot choose your own. In first class, one larger person sits by the window, and a smaller person sits between the pilot and the other passenger. I recommend that the larger person holds the camera or other filming equipment!
I experienced sitting in the middle seat of first class. Having people on both sides slightly diminishes the benefits of not having a window, but it reduces fear, and the view in front is outstanding, so I was very satisfied.
I used Uber for both the outbound and return trips. You can easily find an Uber for your return, so no worries!
とてもいい体験ができました!

I think it's better to take excessive measures against seasickness. Even if the waves are calm when departing, once you head out to sea, the weather doesn't matter and the waves can be high, making you feel sick even in the cage.
I couldn't understand anything from the English guide, but it was manageable.
There are a huge number of sharks, and they don't attack, making the experience wonderful.
とにかく船酔い対策は過剰なくらいした方がいいと思います。

Destination was easy to find. The guides were very attentive and got us all on the horses fairly quickly. I've never really ridden a horse before so I was a bit nervous of maneuvering my horse but she was a go getter so I didn't have to try too hard. We all rode in a line which was very easy. We had to stop a few times which my horse hated, I got a very impatient horse which I don't blame her. Kinda wished we went a quicker pace but then that would shorten our trip which was 1.5hrs which .5 of that was loading and unloading the horses. I wish the trail was a bit longer. The area was beautiful and quiet which I like. I got some good pictures. We used my step daughters phone for the group pictures cause she had a better camera but when she sent me the pics they came out blurry and I don't get to see her often. Was a little disappointed but it was OK. Technical error. Overall great experience and got to feed the horses treats in the end.

This was my first time using this service. Thanks to the smart horses, I have wonderful memories of my trip to Hawaii! I enjoyed the beautiful sea and mountains of the North Shore from the back of a horse, which was even higher than I expected, in a relaxed and leisurely manner. It was the best! Thank you!
I was able to take photos with my phone while riding, and I felt reassured that there was no pressure to buy anything after the tour. At the photo point with the ocean in the background, the staff took pictures for us with our phones.
A friend of mine who has riding experience felt that just walking was a bit lacking, but I prioritized safety and had plenty of fun. All the instructions were in English, but I was able to understand most of it through gestures. For any unclear points, I confirmed with hand signals.
I don't know if it's just the relaxed atmosphere of Hawaii or if Japanese people are particularly punctual, but when I arrived with plenty of time to spare, I ended up waiting quite a while past the meeting time. Another group arrived before us, but we ended up riding first (maybe due to reservations?), which was quite frustrating.

On July 14th, 2023 I went on the Grand Circle Island Tour. It was more than a grand experience! We stopped at places I've never been before like the Pali lookout and Byodo-in Temple. Our tour guide Lola was so funny, and extremely knowledgeable of the island. She even gave us a Poi Donut that was so yummy. Her enthusiastic energy, and experience on island made me feel safe and comfortable riding on her bus all day.
Each stop we had plenty of time to take picture, and learn all about these special places. The tour was extremely diverse making it an experience I'll never forget. The bus was so comfortable with amazing air conditioning, and even had a foot rest. The bus being so high up gave an advantage of seeing sights that you couldn't see in a regular car.
We were given plenty of time in Haleiwa to eat lunch and shop. Lola had many great recommendations for lunch there was so many options it was hard to choose! Stopping at the Dole Plantation was the perfect way to end the tour getting a well deserved sweet treat.
I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting the island whether it's your 1st or 50th time on island. Something for everyone!

This time, I went for a Cessna experience. First of all, Shige, who came to pick me up, was very easy to talk to. From the start, I could feel that they have great staff here.
When I arrived, I entered a beautiful store and was greeted by a team of lovely staff members, who guided me to a sofa. After sitting down, a Japanese man with a darker complexion, who was not as beautiful as the staff, came to explain things. He provided a clear explanation of the Cessna in Japanese, and you could sense his desire to make jokes, as he was from the Kansai region.
After the explanation, once I gathered my thoughts, I boarded and headed to the runway. The instructor sat next to me and taught me patiently. After a certain point, he let me take over, and that’s when the Cessna piloting experience started. I was able to fly for about 30 minutes. I recommend doing some stretches before boarding, as I got tense and my body stiffened.
They also took photos from the side during the flight and sent them to me via AirDrop afterward. Since I was visiting for my honeymoon, they surprised me with a special gesture on the sofa after the experience, which I really appreciated.
The man who explained things to me at first was actually the owner! However, his business card listed him as a cleaner and mechanic, and it seems the real owner is his kind wife. She was also very easy to talk to, so I definitely recommend this Cessna experience.

It exceeded my expectations. I participated in two activities, snorkeling and kayaking, in the morning and afternoon. During the bus ride, the driver provided fun explanations and conversations, making the journey enjoyable without getting bored (the driver was incredibly funny and friendly). They were busy giving us sightseeing information, pointing out things to the right and left.
However, there was one issue: at the snorkeling site, the tour description stated that "life jackets are available for free," but I was told that this was not included in the tour price. Even when I mentioned it was written on the voucher, they insisted it was different. Originally, it would have been $10, but since we came on the tour bus, they said it would be $7. There were only my husband and me as Japanese participants; the others were foreigners, and since no one else seemed to say anything, I wondered if they had booked through a different company.
A Japanese staff member was in charge and kindly said, "I'm Japanese, so please let me know if you need anything," which felt a bit strange. I was left wondering if what was written on Veltra was incorrect or if there was a communication issue... It left me feeling uncomfortable.
As for the snorkeling itself, I was able to see turtles and various fish, which was enjoyable. For lunch, I had garlic shrimp from the snorkeling side, and they were huge and delicious! However, there were many chickens running around nearby, and as someone who isn't fond of them, I couldn't fully enjoy my meal. The chickens seemed accustomed to humans and appeared from all over.
The afternoon activity was kayaking, which I had never done before, but I had a lot of fun. At a break during the morning, we stopped by a macadamia nut shop that had Kona coffee, which I couldn't find even in Waikiki. I tasted it and bought some immediately. We also briefly stopped at a place selling fresh fruit in Ziploc bags, where everyone was buying and eating papayas.
Aside from the issue with the life jackets, it was a very enjoyable tour.
期待していた以上の内容でした。
午前と午後のアクティビティ、計2つ、スノーケリングとカヤックに参加しました。
バスで移動する間もドライバーさんの楽しい説明と会話で、飽きることなく楽しめました(すごい面白くてフレンドリーなドライバーさんでした)。
右に左に忙しいくらい、観光案内してくれました。
ただひとつ、スノーケリングのところで、ツアー説明には「ライフジャケットは無料で貸し出しします」と書いてあったのに、ツアー代金にそれは含まれていない、と言われ、バウチャーに書いてあると言っても違うと言われ、本来なら10ドルのところ、ツアーバスで来てるから7ドルでOKと言われました。
日本人の参加者は私たち夫婦だけで、他は外国人で、他の人は特に何も言ってなかったので、申し込んだ会社が違うのかなと思いましたが…。
日本人の人が担当で、「私は日本人なので、何かあれば言ってください」とフレンドリーに声かけてきたのですご、なんだかね、って感じでした。
ベルトラに書かれていることが間違っていたのか、あるいは、連絡がうまく伝わっていないのか…不快な気持ちになりました。
スノーケリング自体は、タートルも見られたし魚も色々見られて楽しめました。
スノーケリングの側のガーリックシュリンプをお昼に食べましたが、すごく大きいシュリンプで美味しかったです!
ただ、そばには鶏がたくさん走り回っていて、苦手な私は食事を楽しむことはできませんでしたが。
鶏は人間に慣れているのか、あちこちから神出鬼没でした。
午後のアクティビティはカヤック、初めてでしたがとても楽しめました。
午前中途中の休憩で寄ったマカデミアナッツのお店にはワイキキで探してもなかったコナコーヒーをまぶしたのがあり、味見して、即購入しました。
途中で、ジップロックに入ったフレッシュフルーツを売ってるところにもちょっとだけ立ち寄ってくれ、みなさん、パパイヤを買って食べてました。
ライフジャケットの件を除いては、とても楽しめたツアーでした。

We did the clear bottom kayak and snorkeling.
The weather on the north shore can be a little unpredictable, so keep that in mind. Steve gave us a quick lesson and we were on our way.
My wife and I had a great time, and would recommend this to anyone looking to get in the water and see some sea turtles!

Such an amazing experience!! We had Jensen, Ike and Kan’i, as our guides and they were sooooo much fun! They truly made the whole experience so much better than just zip lining, which of course was fun! Excellent course and also learned new things about the Hawaiian culture. I 100 % recommend this! It’s definitely a must! If you can request our guides, do it! Mr. July poses were my favorite!
Much love from papaya (fruity momma)

Our family of 4 loved the variety of this tour! We have 2 older teenage boys (17 and 19) and our family loves to travel! The hike was a great way to start the trip! It was so beautiful going up and WOW, the view at the top is spectacular! The next stop was a food truck that had malasadas….don’t miss this! Yumm, my boys LOVED them! The rest of the tour was fantastic and the guide offered so much history detail and information! All the stops were great and we especially loved the north shore!
Hello E Jones,
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a good time on the trip. The malasadas taste so good after finishing the hike. We are glad all of you enjoyed the tour. We really appreciate your comments. Thank you again for joining our tour and hopefully you will be able to visit the Islands once again.

My daughter and I enjoyed our first helicopter ride with Paradise Helicopters. We got to see so many beautiful parts of Oahu. Our favorite part was landing on the mountain top to view Kualoa Ranch Valley. Highly recommends this trip for everyone!
