All Reviews for North Shore Tours & Things To Do

This tour was amazing. We had Stephanie, who is a Hawaiian native and was able to provide historical details on the different attractions. She was also able to take us to a few places that weren’t planned but time permitted. She was such a joy to be around. If you’re contemplating, just book it. You will be extremely satisfied!

The horses were very well behaved and in great shape. We had a beautiful sunset ride and the guides were very informative and fun to be around. Loved this activity!

We really enjoyed the tour. Our driver Joe was very informative, kind, and welcoming. The food that came with the package was delicious. It was an amazing experience. We’ll definitely be coming back in the future.

My daughter and I had an amazing time with the crew learning about sharks and observing them in their natural habitat. A MUST DO for everyone. Bring an underwater camera but don't spend your whole time behind the camera or you will miss what is all around you. Listening to the whales singing was an added bonus.

I was nervous at first, but actually doing it became the best memory of this trip, with views that can only be seen from the sky and the experience of piloting. The pilot was very kind and taught us in detail, and it was great to have unique experiences like playing a little and taking photos from the sky.

Thank you all for your kindness. I would like to experience this again when I come back to Hawaii.

初めてて緊張しましたが、実際やってみると、空からしか見れない景色や操縦できたことがこの旅行の1番の思い出になりました。パイロットさんもとても親切で詳しく教えて下さったり、ちょっとした遊びをしてくれたこと、空からの写真などなかなか出来ない体験をしたのがとてもよかったです。

みなさんに親切にしていただきありがとうございました。またハワイにくる時は体験してみたいと思ってます。

You can experience piloting a Cessna aircraft with hotel pick-up included. The price is likely reasonable, and I think the cost performance is very good. The office is located on the front side of the hangar, and it was a very clean place that felt like a lobby. I was particularly surprised by the cleanliness of the restroom; it was very well maintained. Most of the pilots seem to be local staff, but all the transportation and assistance were provided by Japanese individuals or those who are extremely proficient in Japanese.

ホテルからの送迎付きでセスナ機の操縦体験ができます。
おそらく価格も抑えられていてコストパフォーマンスは大変いいのではないかと思います。
事務所は格納庫の表側にありますが、ロビーという感じのとてもキレイなところでした。特にトイレの綺麗さには驚くばかり。手入れが行き届いています。
パイロットの多くは現地スタッフのようですが、送迎や対応は全て日本人あるいは日本が極めて堪能な方々でした。

The flight was amazing! They provided transportation to the hotel in Waikiki, and the office inside the airport was a lovely place, with very kind staff.

We were excited to board the four-seater Cessna! With a double pilot setup, the takeoff and landing were handled by a real pilot. Once we were up and settled, we switched controls, and it felt really good!

Even just sitting in the back and looking at the beautiful scenery was more than enough. We got to see Lanikai Beach, the angelic sea, the North Shore, Diamond Head, Coco Head, and Pearl Harbor—all in one hour.

I think it’s better to take the Cessna than to arrange sightseeing all over the place!

Thank you!

空の旅は、サイコーでした
ワイキキのホテルまで送迎して頂き、空港内の事務所もステキな場所で、スタッフの皆さまもとても親切でした。
ワクワクドキドキ4人乗りセスナへ！

ダブルパイロットになっていて、離着陸は、本当のパイロットさんがしてくださいます。上に上がって落ち着いたら、操縦交代。なかなか、気分良かったです❣️
また、乗って、後ろの座席から眼科の世界を見ているだけでも、充分満足ラニカイビーチも天使の海もノースショアーも、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ココヘッド、パールハーバー、丸ごと全部見せてくれます。1時間で

あちこち観光を手配せず、セスナに乗る方が良いと思いました！

ありがとうございました

We had the best time on our clear bottom kayak tour! We saw sea turtles, manta rays, snorkeling, and did bridge jumping. Our guide was the best and the whole experience was great! We had a family of 4 with a 9 year old and 12 year old. They loved it! I highly recommend doing this tour!!

I was picked up on schedule. The meeting point was the hotel name, but when I read the voucher carefully, it turned out to be the trolley stop facing the street. The horseback riding was enjoyable as we walked along the coast. My stay in Haleiwa was just under an hour, which was perfect for me. I also enjoyed the recommended garlic shrimp, which was delicious.

スケジュール通りに送迎してもらいました。待ち合わせ場所がホテル名でしたが、バウチャーをよく読んだら実際は通りに面したトロリー乗り場でした。乗馬は海沿いを歩いて楽しく過ごしました。ハレイワでの滞在時間は1時間弱でしたが私にはちょうどよかったです。オススメのガーリックシュリンプも美味しくいただけました。

Highly recommend!! The crew and pilot were very knowledgeable. Outstanding service start to finish. Very enjoyable.

Felt very personalized, the vehicle was a smaller van and not a large bus

This experience was awesome, and I feel lucky my guide recommended this company! Doors Off made the island feel so unreal

I took advantage of the opportunity to experience flying a Cessna. The president, who is from Kansai, personally provided transportation and gave a fun and simple explanation of the controls in the car. Upon arriving at the airport, we received a detailed briefing on safety precautions. An English-speaking pilot was assisted by a Japanese staff member for interpretation during the explanation. The flight lasted about an hour, following a route that circled around Oahu. Inside the aircraft, it was just the pilot and us, and I could understand enough English to feel comfortable. We enjoyed the stunning views without any particular worries. Lastly, since it was an anniversary, we received various thoughtful gestures.

セスナの操縦体験ができるとのことで利用。
関西人の社長さんが自ら送迎をしてくれて、車の中で楽しく簡単に操縦の説明をしてくれた。
空港に着いて、改めて注意事項の説明。
外人さんのパイロットから日本人スタッフが通訳してくれながらの説明でした。
飛行時間は大体1時間で、オアフ島を半周するようなコースでした。
機内はパイロットと自分達のみで英語も何とか聞き取れるくらいでしたが、特に不安なこともなく、素晴らしい景色を楽しめました。
最後に、アニバーサリーということで色々おもてなしをして頂きました。

The guide provided detailed explanations about various topics (Haleiwa, horseback riding, and the shops). Horseback riding was also enjoyable as we rode along the coast.

ガイドさんは色々説明(ハレイワのこと、乗馬について、お店について)を丁寧にしてくれました。
乗馬も、海岸を通り気持ちよかったです。

We did a private ride at sunset and it was incredible. Our guide was so nice and the horses were lovely. The sunset was magical against the ocean and the mountains, and we even saw a rainbow! Would highly recommend!

The explanations for the pick-up and piloting in Japanese were very helpful. Everyone was kind, and the guidance was thorough. The pilot communicated in English, but the explanations were clear with easy-to-understand words, allowing me to do a lot of flying. They even took photos during the flight!

I was delighted to be celebrated for my honeymoon after the flight!

日本語で送迎や操縦の説明をして下さって
とても助かりました。
優しい方ばかりで、案内等も丁寧でした。
パイロットの方は英語での会話でしたが、分かりやすい単語での説明で沢山操縦させてもらいました。フライト中に写真も撮ってくれました♪

フライト後にハネムーンのお祝いをしてもらえて嬉しかったです！

I am 70 years old, in pretty good shape but was worried about my ability to do this. (All the others in my group were 30-40 years). Not only was I able to do it, I kept up with the youngsters and conquered my fear of heights. The staff here were outstanding. They put safety first, remembered all of our names and kept everything fun and light hearted. The views from the platforms were spectacular and the lines were long and up high above the trees. (My only complaint would be that I wish there was a restroom maybe at the halfway point of the excursion). Other than that, I would highly recommend this for any thrill seekers out there. You did have to endure some physical as well as mental challenges along the way. There were some steep steps to climb, a bumpy ATV ride from the first platform to the second, a controlled bungee leap off of two of the platforms and one where you had to pull yourself up using a block and tackle rope pulley. Fun, fun fun……

I had booked the flight experience for the last day of my trip, and I was worried it might be canceled due to bad weather in the morning. However, they were able to reschedule for other participants and adjust the flight course and schedule, allowing me to enjoy the Cessna flight experience.

The owner and staff are Japanese, so I could communicate freely, which eased my concerns. Since the Cessna can accommodate two additional passengers besides the pilot and the person flying, I was able to bring my child along. Sharing the experience made it much more enjoyable than if we had each flown solo. I highly recommend joining even if you’re not flying.

At first, we took off from the same runway as commercial planes, which was impressive to see up close. During takeoff, they guided me with instructions like, "Slowly push the throttle all the way in" and "Shall we gently pull the control stick?" Landing was understandably more challenging, so I left that to the pilot, but it was thrilling to watch the speed adjustments and flap timing. After landing, they even let us taxi on the runway, which was a fun experience. At the end, they asked, "Shall we experience a little G-force?" and took us through a banked turn, which was exciting.

Thank you, pilot Yuzuki. This was the most memorable experience of my trip, and I am grateful for it.

操縦体験は旅行最終日に申込みをしており朝からの悪天候の為、中止かもと思っていましたが他の方の別日へのリスケやフライトコース・スケジュールの調整なども行って頂きセスナ操縦体験をさせて頂くことが出来ました。
オーナーを初めスタッフは日本の方なので何でも話が出来て不安もありませんでした。
セスナにはパイロット・操縦体験者以外に2人同乗が出来る為子供と一緒に乗せて頂きそれぞれ一人で操縦体験をするより話題も共有出来るので何倍も楽しむことが出来ました。是非操縦体験される以外でも同乗されることをお勧めしたいですね。

初めは旅客機と同じ滑走路から飛び立つので間近で見れる旅客機も圧巻でした。離陸から「スロットルをゆっくり一番奥まで押して下さい」「ゆっくり操縦桿を引きましょうか」など体験させてくれたりしました。着陸は流石に難易度が高いためパイロットにお任せなのですがスピード調整やフラップ出しのタイミングなど横で見てても感動でした。着陸した際には「タキシングしてみます？」と滑走路をヨロヨロ走らせてくれたりも体験させてくれました。最後には「ちょっとGを味わってみましょうか？」などバンクしてターンをしてくれたりして楽しませてくれました。
パイロットのゆずきさんありがとうございました。

今回の旅行で一番の思い出に残った体験が出来て感謝です。

My husband and I had A BLAST!! We would definitely recommend it!! Not only did they do an awesome job, one of the crew members noticed us having an underwater camera and offered to take it down deeper for us, so that we could get better pictures! A HUGE thank you to her!! Now we have beautiful pictures to keep!!

Totally enjoyed our tour with Squid. He was so informative, giving us great information about each place we visited (as well as places we passed along the way). Loved the high energy music he played on the bus, which energized the group. Loved the shrimp lunch, which was included. Kudos to Squid. I highly recommend this tour to others. You will not be disappointed.

The ladies that took us on our ride were absolutely delightful. They were thorough about safety and just lovely to talk to. They obviously care very much for the horses and know them well.
The evening was beautiful despite the risk of rain and the timing was perfect to have photos with the sunset behind us.
My only negative was that it was advertised as a 90 minute ride and it was only 60 minutes.

We enjoyed walking to the falls, the cultural tour through the hales, the botanical gardens and the peacocks. But the lu'au dinner and show was amazing! We enjoyed the before dinner activities, delicious dinner and after dinner cultural dancing show. Definite highlight of our trip!

We went to a Friday afternoon Luau and WOW! The experience was amazing. Streamlined and efficient, the serving and hospitality staff were exceptional. The show itself blew us away. The cultural activities were so fun for our 3 year old. We had been married the day before and they celebrated that with us, which was really special. It was such a great experience we will definitely go back when we are next on Oahu! Highly recommended A+++ great value for your money and time

This was an interesting and excellent experience. Even though the activities were not that interesting to me as an adult, it is great for kids. I had a excellent experience watching my 2 year old enjoy it. The main person who did all the talking was courteous and enjoyable. He had the right timings for his jokes which I appreciated a lot. Also the way the others in his group contributed was entertaining. They seemed as if they were naturals at entertaining people.
I would say that for a group that has only been doing this for a few years, they knew what they were doing and they were great!

I highly recommend this, especially for families!

My family had a great time!

I have flown in a Cessna several times, but this was my first experience piloting one, and it was an amazing experience. I received a serious explanation of the Cessna's instruments from the president and listened intently. When it came time for the flight, I was thrilled to be allowed to pilot for quite a while. I was told I did well, and I was so moved that I want to go again. Captain Matt was the pilot for the flight.

セスナは何回か乗りましたが、操縦体験は初めてだったので凄く良い体験でした。
社長さんからセスナの計器類説明受け真剣に聞いていました。いざフライト結構長く操縦させてもらい感激でした上手いと言われたもう一回カンゲキまた行きたいです。
キャプテン‍✈️マット福操縦士ツートムクルーズでした✈️。

My husband had the piloting experience while I recorded videos from the back seat. Although it was a cloudy day, the view of Oahu was amazing, and I was moved to see Diamond Head from above for the first time. My husband was allowed to pilot from takeoff until he switched places with the pilot during landing, and he held the controls for quite a long time. The piloting instructions were in English, but even for my husband, who struggles with English, there were no issues at all. The pilot pointed out all the highlights of Oahu, making it easy for me to film.

Before the flight, I was asked if I had concerns about motion sickness, and I felt a bit anxious, but I was so focused on not missing any sights and on recording the video that I didn't have time to feel motion sickness. Seeing neighborhoods with roofs covered in solar panels and areas lined with wind turbines made me realize the diversity of Oahu that I hadn't known before.

After the flight, we were treated to a luxurious afternoon tea, and during the hotel transfers, we heard many interesting stories. It was truly a wonderful experience. Since returning from the trip, my husband has watched the videos I recorded many times. He seems quite pleased to show off the footage of himself piloting to acquaintances.

主人が操縦体験、私は後ろの席でビデオ録画担当しました。
曇り空でしたが、オアフ島の眺めが素晴らしくて、ダイアモンドヘッドを初めて上から見て感動しました。
主人は離陸から操縦させてもらって、着陸でパイロットさんと操縦を替わるまで、かなり長い時間操縦桿を握らせてもらってました。
操縦の指示は英語ですが、英語苦手な主人でも全然問題なく、オアフ島の見どころも全部パイロットさんが伝えてくれて、動画撮影もやりやすかったです。
事前に乗り物酔いの心配があるかと聞かれ、少し不安がありましたが、見どころを見落とさないようにするのと、ビデオ録画に一生懸命で、乗り物酔いを感じる暇もありませんでした。
ソーラーパネルのついた屋根が並ぶ住宅街や風力発電の風車が並ぶ地帯を見て、知らなかったオアフ島の多様さを実感しました。
フライトから帰ると、豪華なアフタヌーンティーのようなおもてなし、ホテルからの送り迎えでは色々なお話を聞かせていただき、本当にいい体験でした。
主人は旅行から帰国後、何度も何度も私が撮影したビデオを見ています。
またビデオに映った操縦している雄姿（？）を知り合いに見せてはご満悦の様子です。

Our tour guide is Deno. He is very knowledgeable and funny. He takes well care of us. We are happy to book any other tour with him.

This ATV tour was none less than amazing! Our tour guide Keoki, was amazing. His level of interest and understanding of the land's history was amazing. He was funny, informative, and very engaged in allowing us to have both a fun and educational experience. I highly recommend this tour. It rained and we were worried it was going to be canceled I am so glad that it was not! It was muddy and fun, and the views were breathtaking.
We took a group of six and it was definitely a VIP experience.
It is a must-do and Family oriented. He brought us a homemade snack and drinks as well. We laughed and laughed at his jokes and fun personality.

We saw a number of sharks and even a hammerhead shark on the hunt for mackerel! Very cool!

We flew in a four-seater plane, with my husband piloting and our 3-year-old daughter and I sitting in the back. Our daughter had a child seat installed on board and rode comfortably. She was a bit fussy due to sleepiness, but she ended up falling asleep during the flight, which was quite stable.

My husband's piloting was a bit nerve-wracking, but I'm glad we had the experience at least once. We really enjoyed the ride together.

According to my husband, the piloting wasn't difficult. Since the pilot spoke English, it might be more enjoyable for those who understand a little English.

4人乗りの飛行機で、夫が操縦、私と3歳の娘が後ろの席同乗しました。
娘はチャイルドシートを機内に設置してもらい、乗りました。娘は眠くて機内でぐずりましたが、飛行中に寝てしまい、それほど安定した飛行でした。
夫の操縦はヒヤヒヤしましたが、1度は体験できてよかったです。同乗でもとても楽しめました。

夫曰く、操縦は難しくなかったそうです。
パイロットは英語なので、少し英語が分かる方がより楽しめるかもしれません。
