All Reviews for North Shore Tours & Things To Do

saw the places mentioned, nice small group.
the driver didnt know any Hawaiian translations for the areas/names etc, the Bus/trolley people did. being from New zealand we all know what the names mean

We chose this luau because of the beautiful setting in the Waimea Valley. Would recommend getting to the North Shore early in the day, spend some time at Waimea Bay then tour the Park and Falls before the luau. Much better to experience this cultural experience in such a stunning, natural setting.We had our teenage son and daugher with us and our mother and everyone had a great time. The family and staff work hard, wearing a variety of hats throughout the evening-serving dinner, running the lawn activities, and of course performing a large variety of authentic dances and music. The host is genuine and the food was very good. Everything tastes authentic and high quality. The whole operation was enjoyable, I even enjoyed the lawn activities more than I expected. We reviewed many luaus on Oahu and are very glad we chose this one.

We had a blast on this adventure. It was exciting along with informative on the history of the island. We would recommend this to anyone.

Both ikaika and James were fantastic! Excellent tour guides and a fun experience overall. We saw turtles, eels and even a mantaray up close. Highly recommend!

Website easy to use.
Driver on time, and very helpful with local area.
Told him what we wanted to see and do, and he accommodated with ease.
Got stuck in traffic driving up the North shore, so he stayed a little longer for us.

We had the best time. Loved everything about it. Our tour guy Jonah was amazing and very knowledgeable. Took our time since we were a smaller group. The diamond head hike was a bit harder than we thought with the baby but we took our time and made it up there. What a beautiful view!! It was worth it!!! Do not regret anything about this tour! It was amazing!!! The dole whip ice cream was amazing. The Lenard’s malasada was amazing too. Saw a few turtles and the food trucks was so delicious. We really enjoyed our time on this tour and we totally recommend to do this tour if you’re ever in Oahu Hawaii!!!

I wish I could have received more detailed information about Haleiwa Town, such as maps and travel time distribution. We did a quick tour around the town, but the explanations and movements were fast, and before I knew it, we had free time, which made me a bit flustered. However, seeing how quickly the parking lot filled up with cars by noon made me understand the urgency. Thank you for your help.

ハレイワタウンの詳しい情報を　地図や移動時間の配分など伺えたらよかったなあ　と少し思いました　現地の町中を1周してくださいましたが　説明や移動が速くあっという間に自由行動となり　慌てました。　ですが　昼にはたくさんの車があつまりあっという間に駐車場は混雑しているのを見ると慌てていらっしゃるのも理解できました。お世話になりました

This tour was TOP NOTCH. The van was clean and comfortable and all of the places stopped along the tour were awesome. It was a fun filled day! We loved that this tour was a small group on an uncrowded, cool, comfortable van. Our tour guide, Alan, was super informative, easy going and hilarious. His approach, information and personality put this tour over the top for us. The cost for this tour was higher than the bus tour we booked with a different company but it was 100% worth it!

This tour was so much fun! Stephanie was our guide and she was very knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining. The hike in the morning was amazing and having a tour reduced the hassle of reservations, parking, etc. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting a well-rounded and interesting tour of the island.

Absolutely breathtaking views, great instructor, well trained horses and an overall amazing time :)

I chose a seaside horseback riding course, and I was able to ride with peace of mind on a very well-behaved horse. The guide also acted as an interpreter for the local staff, which made everything easy to understand. Additionally, they made a reservation for lunch, and I was able to enjoy the popular garlic shrimp with no waiting time. They also explained the locations of shops in the city, making for a very fulfilling day.

海辺の乗馬コースを選びましたが、とてもお利口な馬で安心して乗馬できました。ガイドさんが現地のスタッフさんの通訳もしてくださり、わかりやすかったです。
また、ランチの予約もしてくださり、食べたかった人気のガーリックシュリンプも待ち時間0で食べられました。街のショップの場所も説明いただき、とても充実した1日になりました。

The pick-up service was kind and helpful even after arriving at the office! During the flight, I felt a moderate level of tension, but the instructor gently guided me through the unfamiliar operations, making it enjoyable! There were no communication issues at all, even though I couldn't speak English. Additionally, I was able to take photos, which were shared with me after the experience. After the experience, I had a nice time relaxing at the office. It will be a great memory, thank you!

送迎からオフィス到着後も親切にご案内いただきました！
フライトは適度な緊張感の中、慣れない操作に戸惑いつつもインストラクターの方が優しく誘導していただけて楽しめました！英語が話せなくても全くコミュニケーションに問題ありませんでした。
また、写真も撮ってもらい、体験後に共有してもらいました。
体験後も、オフィスでのんびり休憩できていい時間が過ごせました。
いい思い出になります、ありがとうございます！

I fulfilled my dream of gripping the control stick and flying in the sky someday. I flew over Oahu, Hawaii for an hour, looking down at Waikiki and Diamond Head while seeing the incredibly blue ocean, feeling a bit nervous while piloting, and finally descending from Pearl Harbor for a tense landing! It truly became a wonderful memory.

Actually, I had my wife film the experience for an hour from the back seat. She said it was an hour filled with extreme tension and excitement. I’m grateful to my wife for this flying experience. I hope to fly at least once a year!

いつかは、操縦桿を握り空を飛んでみたいていう夢が叶いました。ハワイオワフ島を1時間、ワイキキ、ダイアモンドヘッドを下に見て青すぎる海を見ながら少し緊張しながらの操縦で最後はパールハーバーから高度を下げ緊張の着陸！
本当に良い思いでになりました。
実はこの体験を家内に1時間、後部座席で動画を撮ってもらいました。家内は超緊張、ドキドキの1時間だったそうです。家内に感謝の体験飛行でした。
年１回は飛びたいなあ〜。

The refreshing feeling of taking off into the sky while watching passenger planes from Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is something you should experience at least once. You get to enjoy an aerial tour guided over key spots on Oahu, including Waikiki, Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Kualoa Ranch, and the Dole Plantation. Along the way, I had the rare opportunity to pilot the plane myself. The beauty of the ocean and the close-up view of the mountains at Kualoa Ranch are truly unique to flying in a Cessna. The staff were Japanese, which made me feel at ease during the transportation as well. I'm really glad I had this experience.

ダニエル・K・イノウエ空港から旅客機を眺めつつ空へ飛び立つ時の爽快感、一度は体験すべきです。ワイキキ都心部からダイヤモンドヘッド、ハナウマ湾、クアロアランチからのDole農園とオアフ島の要所をガイドして貰いながら空中散歩します。途中自身で操縦できる貴重な体験も出来ました。海の綺麗さはもちろんクアロアランチの山肌を近くで感じられたのはセスナ機ならではだと思います。スタッフも日本人のかたで安心して送迎までしてもらえました。体験して本当によかったです。

We had a great hike with our tour guide, Ryan. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was passionate about what he does and made a great day for us. The hike was just challenging enough without being too difficult. The lunch provided was great too. We didn't know what to expect going into this but had a great time and would recommend this to anyone. It's a great way to see a part of the island that we never would have seen otherwise.

Taking off together was wonderful, and flying was so much fun! It has been a dream of mine for a long time. The female instructor was also amazing and inspiring. This is a lifelong memory!

離陸も一緒にさせて頂き、操縦も楽しかったです！ずっと前からの夢でした。
インストラクターの女性の方も素敵で憧れます。
一生の思い出です！

Great Morning Out, was the only package on the Island (I checked with tonnes of tour guides out there) that offered Transport to the North Shore and Time in the town up there.
100% recommend, Get out of Waikiki and see the island and some Sharks. We also saw Dolphins and Wales but didn't get a refund for that.

I have a call from there office they told me there tour guy was no show and they canceled don’t make the same mistake I did go a different way

Horseback riding while enjoying the stunning coastal views is highly recommended. There were seven participants at the same time, but we were divided into two groups of three and four, with an instructor accompanying each group, which was reassuring. The instructions are given in English only, so those who are completely new to horseback riding and not confident in their English may feel a bit anxious. However, the horses understand well, and if anything happens, the instructor will come right away, so you’ll be fine.

海沿いの絶景を堪能しながらの乗馬は絶対おすすめです。　同じ時間で7人参加でしたが、3人と4人の2グループに分かれてインストラクターの方が着いてくれるので安心です。　説明は普通に英語のみなので、全く乗馬が初めてかつ英語に自信が無い方は焦ってしまうかもしれませんが、馬の方が良くわかっていますし、何かあればすぐにインストラクターの方が来てくれるので大丈夫です。

It was a very enjoyable flight! It was my first time on a small aircraft, but the prior explanations and the professional pilot's appropriate communication during the flight made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy the experience.

とても楽しいフライトでした！
小型飛行機に乗ることすら初めてでしたが、事前に説明してもらったことと飛行中にプロパイロットが適度にコミュニケーションをとってくれることで安心して楽しめました。

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.
