All Reviews for North Shore Tours & Things To Do

I had the best time on this tour. Our tour guide was amazing he was the best. The waterfall was awesome to swim in but you had to walk at least 30 min to get there which was not a bad hike at all. The scenery was beautiful and I even got a glimpse of a peacoke. The tour paid for coffee breakfast and lunch which was delicious. After the hike we went to Dole Plantation for dole whip which is pineapple ice cream.

The pickup was on time. They announced it loudly, so I understood right away! During the transfer, the driver explained about the city as we went along.

For check-in, we operated the tablets individually, signed the consent form, and stored our luggage in lockers while we waited. It's best to put all your belongings in the locker! This includes hats and sunglasses!

The instructor helped us get our gear ready and taught us how to fly! I'm not very good at English, but the instructor mixed in some Japanese, which made it easy to understand.

Then, it was time to board the plane... The ascent was the most nerve-wracking part, but once we were flying, it felt amazing and was truly the best experience!!! My ears popped and hurt a bit, but afterward, it was average. I would definitely love to participate again if I have the chance.

ピックアップ時間通りでした。大きい声でアナウンスしてくれてたのですぐにわかりました！
移動中は、ドライバーさんが街のことを説明してくれながら向かいました。
チェックインは各自タブレットで操作をして、同意書にサインをし、ロッカーに荷物を入れ待機。
ロッカーへは全ての荷物を入れた方がいいです！
帽子やサングラスもです！
インストラクターの方が装備を整えてくれて、飛び方を教えてくれました！英語が苦手な私ですが、インストラクターの方が日本語を交えながら教えてくれたのでわかりやすかったです。
いざ、機内へ…
上がっていくのが1番ドキドキしましたが、飛んでしまえば気持ちよくて本当に最高でした！！！
耳がパチパチと痛くなりましたが、終わってからは平均でした。また機会があればぜひ参加したいです。

My first time going to Hawaii, They really tell you the history of Hawaii and show you all the cool farms and the BEST views of the ocean from different shores of the island. I have no regrets. Thank you so much

This tour was. a great experience! I really appreciated every stop we took throughout, especially Haleiwa town. This is surely a must do experience if you were planning to only stay in Waikiki!

The feeling of falling to the bottom of the abyss is becoming addictive. Since the ground is far away, there's no sense of fear. If there were a place that was closer and cheaper, I might become a repeat visitor.

奈落の底に落ちる感じが癖になりそう。地面が遠いので恐怖感はない。もっと身近に、安く出来る所があればリピーターになってしまいそう。

I have experienced flights in a Cessna several times, but it was always a four-seater C172. This time, I flew in a compact two-seater C150, and despite the wind, it was an interesting flight experience.

セスナでのフライトは何度か体験していますが、いつも４人乗りのC172でした。今回は２人乗りのC150でコンパクトな機体でしたが、風の影響もあり面白いフライトが体験できました。

When I was going to New York, there was a price difference between direct flights and flights via Hawaii, so I chose the latter. I was wondering how to spend the 8-hour transit when I found a Cessna flying experience!!

Having watched Top Gun and being impressed by the wonders of flying, I never expected to have a similar experience in Hawaii. The price isn't cheap, but it will definitely become a lifelong memory!

My son, who is 7 years old, was able to pilot the plane without being particularly scared, thanks to the careful guidance of the Japanese staff.

After the flight, we were able to relax in a homely atmosphere and arrived in New York feeling energized.

NYに行く時、直行便とHawaii経由便で、価格差があったので、後者を選択。トランジット8時間をどう過ごすかな？と考えていた時に、セスナ操縦を見つけました！！

トップガンを見て、飛行の素晴らしさに感激していたので、まさかHawaiiで追体験ができるなんて。お値段は安くはないですが、一生の思い出になること間違いなし！です。

息子7歳でしたが、日本人のスタッフが丁寧に指導してくださり、特に怖がることもなく操縦できました。

フライト後も、アットホームな空間でゆっくり過ごすことができ、元気にNYに迎えました。

In recent years, I've been going to Hawaii every year, but I couldn't go ziplining because my partner wasn't on board, which was frustrating. This time, we finally got to go together and had a great time.

We were part of a short tour with a group of seven people, including three Americans (a parent and child) and two young Asian women. One of the buggy drivers had studied in Japan and arranged for us to receive the photos he took via email (for free).

The only disappointing thing was that the longest line was closed. I want to challenge myself again.

ここ数年、毎年ハワイには行くものの連れ合いの賛同が得られずジップラインには行くことが出来ず辛い思いをしていました。
今回ようやく一緒に行ける事になり楽しんで来ました。
アメリカ人３人親子、アジア系のネイティブ若い女性２人組に私達の計７人でのショートツアー。
バギーの運転手の中に、日本で留学経験が有るスタッフがいて撮影してくれた写真をメールで送るように手配してくれました。（無料です。）
唯一残念だった事は、最長のラインが閉鎖されていたことです。
またチャレンジしたい。

I was looking forward to horseback riding and shopping in North Shore, but unfortunately, the weather turned bad, and I had to cancel the horseback riding. The roads became like rivers, so I ended up spending about three hours in a café. I definitely want to try again next time!

ノースショアで楽しみにしていた乗馬やお店回りでしたが
残念ながら、天候が崩れ、乗馬はキャンセル、お店回りも道路が川のようになり3時間ほど一つのカフェで過ごす羽目に(:_;)
次回是非、リベンジしたいです～

Fearful at first but the outstanding experience put everyone at ease! Highly recommended!

It takes just under an hour to arrive from Waikiki using Uber.

I participated with my family (ages 7 to 70). It was the 7-year-old's first time horse trekking, but the horse was very well-behaved and responded well to the reins. Along the course, there were cows and birds, and unfamiliar flowers were blooming, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely and relaxed conversation while taking in the sights. Photography and video recording are allowed, and since the pace is slow, it's definitely possible.

On the day we participated, there were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but all the staff were very kind, and we could communicate well through expressions and gestures. Large luggage can be stored at the reception, and you can participate while carrying a small crossbody bag. They take photos along the way, but you can download them later for a fee. The restroom with running water was clean, but it was unfortunate that there was no soap at the handwashing station.

There were dogs running freely, and goats and cows that you could feed, making the waiting time enjoyable.

ワイキキからUber利用で1時間弱で到着します。

家族(7歳〜70歳)で参加しました。7歳は初めてのホーストレッキングでしたが馬がお利口で手綱指示にしっかり応えてくれました。コースの途中で牛や鳥がいたり見慣れない花が咲いていて、それを見ながら会話できる位のんびりと安心して楽しめました。写真動画撮影は自由です。ゆっくり進むので充分可能です。

参加した日は日本語が通じる方は居ませんでしたが、スタッフ全員とても親切で表情とジェスチャーで充分通じます。大きな荷物は受付で預かってもらえ、斜めかけバッグ程度は持ったまま参加できました。途中で写真を撮ってくれますが後で有料ダウンロードです。水栓のトイレは綺麗でしたが手洗い場に石鹸が無いのが残念でした。

犬が自由に走り回っていたりヤギや牛がいてエサを買ってあげられるので待ち時間も楽しめました。

We did the advanced ride which allows for trotting and cantering in some spots on the way up the trail for more experienced riders. It was an amazing experience and we were pleasantly surprised with the diversity of the trail and how many times we were allowed to canter for stretches of trail where it's safe to do so. Our guide was on top of everything and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way.

Had a great time and conversation with our guide. A lovely relaxing paddle up the river filled with big adorable sea turtles. On the way back out, with lights on we got to watch schools of fish swim beneath the boards and I even got to see a baby Hammer head shark swim beneath me.

This activity is my favorite activity on Oahu. You start the paddle as the sun is setting, and end when it's dark. You are guided by LED lights on the bottom of the board, that illuminate the ocean below you. Making it visible to see so much sea life. On this paddle I have seen MANY turtles, manta rays, fish, jellyfish, and even small reef sharks (not to worry they are small and harmless).

This is truly a one of a kind experience that is so much fun! The guides are extremely knowledgeable of the area, and not to mention very personable. You can tell they love their job! They make sure everyone is comfortable and safe, which makes this tour so enjoyable.

No paddle board experience? No need, the guides will instruct you along the way, and make sure you don't feel pressured to do anything you don't want to do. I would recommend this paddle to any one who likes an adventure, or anyone who is looking to step outside of their comfort zone.

I really wanted to do this, so I participated alone. I had heard that it would be cold up in the air, so I wore a windbreaker, but I don't know how many minutes it took from when we descended until the parachute opened. The wind pressure made the zipper press against my throat, and it was uncomfortable. I should have worn a trainer. I couldn't fix it. You need to make sure to fit the goggles properly; otherwise, you'll end up like I did.

The journey in the sky became a rewarding time for myself, and I was glad I did it because the views of the sea, sky, and ground were beautiful.

どうしてもやりたくて1人で参加しました。
上空は寒いとの情報があり、ウィンドブレーカーを着ましたが、降りてからパラシュートが開くまで、何分かわかりませんが、風圧によりファスナーが喉を押し苦しかったです。トレーナーにすればよかった。直すに直せなかったです。ゴーグルにはしっかり肉を入れないと私みたいな状態になります。
空の旅は自分へのご褒美の時間となり、海、空、地上と景色がよくやってよかったです。

One of the reasons I wanted to go to Hawaii was to visit this place, but I could only make a reservation for January 1st, so I went by rental car. I was a bit anxious about driving, but the scenery along the way, with the North Shore coastline and the ocean, was incredibly beautiful. It took about an hour from Waikiki, but the zip line experience was amazing. We started with an easy zip line and gradually moved on to longer ones, reaching up to 800 meters, which was not scary at all and very enjoyable. The longest zip line offered a fantastic view of the North Shore ocean from a high point. I was able to get some great photos while zip lining. I participated with older children, and we all had a great time without any issues. The instructions were all in English, so there were a few things I didn't fully understand, but since the process was the same each time, it wasn't a problem. On the way back, we also stopped by Giovanni's, famous for its garlic shrimp, which became one of my best memories.

ハワイに行く目的の一つとしてここに行きたかったのですが、予約が１月１日しかとれず、レンタカーで行きました。レンタカーで行くのは不安でしたが、道中でノースショアの海岸や海に向けて広がる景色がすごく綺麗でよかったです。ワイキキからは１時間程度かかりましたが、ジップラインが最高でした。最初は簡単なジップラインから徐々に長いものに行き800メートルのところに行くので全然怖くなく楽しめました。最長のジップラインは高台からノースショアの海が見える最高の景色でした。そこでジップライン中の写真を撮っていただき最高の写真もゲットできました。高学年の子供連れで参加しましたが、問題なく楽しめました。説明はすべて英語なのでちょっとわからないところもありましたが、毎回やり方は同じなので、問題ないかなと。帰りにガーリックシュリンプの有名なジョバンニにもよれて最高の思い出の一つになりました。

I had my first flight experience, and the process from check-in to boarding was smooth, with very kind assistance from the Japanese staff.

During the flight, I was able to experience piloting while being given explanations about the tourist spots on Oahu, and the view from the window was amazing.

I used this service with my wife, who is a bit scared, but the takeoff and landing were very smooth, and she enjoyed it. I would like to use this service again.

Thank you!

初めてのフライト体験をしましたが、チェックインから搭乗までのプロセスはスムーズで、日本人のスタッフの対応はとても親切でした。

フライト中はオワフ島の観光地を説明していただきながら操縦体験ができ、窓からの眺めは素晴らしかったです。

怖がりの妻との利用でしたが、離着陸時も非常にスムーズで、楽しんでいました。また利用したいと思います。

ありがとうございました！

The instructors were talking about how they jumped with "Japp" yesterday.

It's frustrating to hear discriminatory language used where customers can't hear it, especially in a job where lives are at stake. It makes me anxious that they might have a dislike for Japanese people and that an injury could occur.

It was a relief that my instructor didn't engage in that conversation. However, another person who was jumping kept insisting on using "Japp." The cameraman was nice, though.

The image gets tarnished because of a few discriminatory individuals. Naturally, I wouldn't recommend this to my Japanese friends.

I want a safe and secure environment. If they dislike Japanese people, they should keep that to themselves outside of work.

The driver, cameraman, and accompanying skydivers asked for tips. That's fine, but I don't want to pay them when they act like this.

インストラクターらが、ジャップと昨日も飛んだぜと話していた。

ジャップって客に聞こえないところで差別用語使うならともかく、命預かる仕事で呆れる。
日本人嫌いから、怪我でも起きないか不安になる。

自分のインストラクターが、その話に乗らなかったのはまだ良かったが。
別の人と飛ぶ人がわざわざしつこくジャップと。
カメラマンも良い人だったが。

一部の差別的な人間のせいでイメージ悪くなる。
当然、自分は日本人の友達には勧めない。

安全、安心な環境を提供してほしい。
日本人嫌いなら、それは仕事以外で。

運転手、カメラマン、同行スカイダイバーには、チップを要求される。
それは良いのだが、こんな連中に対しては払いたくはなくなる。

My first skydiving experience was wonderful. The weather was great, and it felt good. I was impressed by the beautiful scenery from the Cessna as we flew up high. It felt natural to jump out, and before I knew it, I was on my journey through the sky. I made a mistake with the PC operation at the local reception, but a kind female staff member helped me with the process, which was a relief. However, I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I could speak English.

初のスカイダイビング
天気もよくて気持ち良かったです
セスナに乗って上空から景色を見て綺麗だなぁと感心してました　飛び降りるのも当たり前のように次から次へと降りていきあっと言う間に空への旅に連れて行かれました
現地受付で誤ったＰＣ操作をしたのですが、現地のスタッフの女性が親切に手続きをしてくれたので助かりました
ただ、英語が喋れるともっと、楽しめると思いました

I hold pilot licenses for small aircraft in both Japan and the United States, so I booked an evening flight as the final event to cap off our honeymoon. As a small aircraft pilot, this evening is my favorite flight time.

With the guidance of the instructor pilot through complex controlled airspace and radio communication, we reached the east coast of Oahu after flying over Waikiki. The sight of the sunset was truly divine. Whether to fly over the east coast or the west coast is up to the instructor pilot's judgment, but flying over the east coast allows you to see the valley of the famous tourist spot Kualoa Ranch from the sky. I believe this is a privilege granted to those who conquer the skies. My wife, who was on her second flight with me, was able to enjoy the experience comfortably.

The luxurious reception after the flight was also wonderful, and we even received a surprise to commemorate our honeymoon. If you're unsure about which activities to experience in Hawaii, I highly recommend trying the sky adventures with LANI LEA SKY TOURS!

私は日米両方の小型飛行機の操縦免許を持っていますので、新婚旅行のトリを飾るイベントとして一番最後の枠で夕方のフライトを予約しました。小型機パイロットとしてこの夕方が一番大好きなフライト時間帯です。
教官パイロットの方による複雑な管制空域の飛行指南と無線交信により、ワイキキ上空を経て到達したオアフ島東海岸。その黄昏に染まる姿は神々しさを感じさせられものでした。東海岸もしくは西海岸を飛行するかは教官パイロットの方の判断となりますが、東海岸をフライトすると観光名所クアロア牧場の谷間を奥まで空から見渡すことが出来ます。これぞ空を征く者に許された特典だと思います。私の操縦する飛行機に乗ったのは二回目となる妻も飛行中、安心して楽しんでもらうことが出来ました。
フライトが終わった後のラグジュアリーな接待も素晴らしく、新婚旅行記念のサプライズまで頂戴しました。ハワイで体験するアクティビティをどれにするか迷われている方は、是非LANI LEA SKY TOURSさんで空の遊びをされてみてはいかがでしょうか？

It was so great to learn alot about the sharks and their environment with a crew that you can tell takes great care for the land.

What an awesome tour, it was great to get to see the island from above, nothing beats it.

Splendid Day! We loved that you can explore the island in full so quickly and see so many awesome points!

It was my 9-year-old son's first flight, as he aspires to be a pilot. The staff were all kind, and we had a very enjoyable time. I would like to request this again when my son is a little older!

パイロット志望の9歳の息子の初飛行でした。
スタッフ皆親切で、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
息子がもう少し大きくなってから、またお願いしたいと思います！

We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide “D” was very caring of each of the persons on our group. My family enjoyed the entire trip, especially the waterfall.

I had my first experience piloting a Cessna, and I was able to control the plane for almost the entire time except during takeoff and landing, which was so much fun! The accompanying pilot also took photos and videos, and later sent me the data. It was the best experience!

初めてセスナ体験操縦してみましたが、離陸・着陸時以外ほとんどの時間を操縦することができとても楽しかった！
同乗のパイロットが、写真や動画も撮影してくださり、後でデータを送って頂けました。
最高の体験でした！

Honestly, I'm not fluent in English, but fortunately, on the day I participated, there was a Japanese staff member who helped me by explaining the instructor's instructions in Japanese. After that, I communicated with the instructor using simple English and gestures, and I was able to fly safely.

It was a nerve-wracking experience, and I thought that people who do this job are crazy. But looking back now, coming down over the ocean in Hawaii was an amazing experience, and the sea was incredibly beautiful! I want to experience it again.

In November, it was just the rainy season, and there was rain before the flight, plus we had to wait due to the wind, but thanks to that, I was able to see a rainbow from the Cessna.

正直英語がペラペラではないですが、有り難い事に参加した日は日系のスタッフの方がいて、インストラクターの説明内容を日本語で教えていただいて助けていただきました。その後のインストラクターとは簡単な英語とジェスチャーでやり取りをして、無事に飛行できました。
どきどき恐々の経験で、この仕事をしている人はクレージーだなって思いましたが。今となってはハワイの海の上を降りてくるって最高の経験で、海がめちゃくちゃ綺麗でした！また経験したいって思ってます。
11月はちょうど雨季で飛行前は雨が降っていたり、風の影響で待たされたりはしましたが、そのおかげでセスナから虹が見えました。

The weather was wonderful, and it was a horseback riding experience while looking at the beautiful cobalt blue sea. I'm glad I was able to spend such a lovely time. I think it would have been even better if I had a little more time in Haleiwa Town.

お天気に恵まれ、美しいコバルトブルーの海を見ながらの乗馬体験でしたとてもステキな時間を過ごす事が出来て良かったです。ハレイワタウンでの時間がもう少しあれば尚、良かったと思います。

It was my family's first time visiting Oahu Hawaii AND our first time riding horseback. And what a way to lose our horseback riding virginity! The Ranch was amazing, our guides were amazing and there's even a little petting Zoo that you can feed the goats while you wait for your tour to commence. Highly recommended!

Facing my fear was so worth it, the experience was so thrilling and the sharks are so cute once your up close!
