All Reviews for North Shore Tours & Things To Do

My fourth-grade daughter had some horseback riding experience in Japan, but her parents had almost none, yet we felt comfortable participating. Since we met at the location, we rented a car through an app and headed there. It took just over an hour to arrive from our hotel in Waikiki. Our group consisted of a total of eight people, with only our family of three being Japanese. The rest were Europeans and Asians. My wife speaks English, but my daughter and I only know a little. Still, we managed just fine. It was amazing to be able to ride horses along the white sandy beach. There was a height restriction for horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, so my daughter couldn't participate there, but this tour was fine for ages six and up, so there was no problem. There was also a polo practice area, and it was fun to watch the polo practice.

小学四年生の娘は日本で何度か乗馬経験がありましたが、両親はほぼ乗馬経験なし、それでも安心して参加できました。現地集合のため、アプリでカーシェアリングの車を借り、現地へ。ワイキキ のホテルから1時間強くらいで到着しました。我々が参加した組は合計８名で日本人は我々家族三人のみ。あとは、欧米人とアジア系の方々。家内は英語を喋りますが私と娘は片言。それでもなんとかなりました。白い砂浜を馬に乗って散歩できるなんて最高でした。クアロアランチへの乗馬は身長制限があり、娘が参加できませんでしたが、こちらのツアーは確か6歳以上だったので問題ありませんでした。ポロの練習場が併設されていて、ポロの練習も見られて楽しかったです。

We participated as a family of three. Since it was a special occasion, we decided to let our 9-year-old daughter have the piloting experience instead of us, so she piloted while her parents were passengers. The hotel shuttle was also free, and they provided us with a lot of useful information since we were not familiar with Hawaii. When we informed them in advance that our daughter would be piloting and that she doesn't speak much English, they allocated extra time for a pre-flight briefing with the pilot, allowing her to fly without any issues. I initially thought she would only be holding the controls a little while in the air, but since the experience is run by a school that offers Cessna pilot licenses, she got to experience various maneuvers, including taxiing on the runway, takeoff, and right and left turns in the air. We left the landing to the pilot, of course... The communication in English was facilitated through headphones and a microphone, allowing our daughter, the pilot, and us to converse, so we could partially interpret for her. Since we participated the day before our return, it was amazing to see Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Haleiwa, North Shore, Pearl Harbor, and even Kualoa Ranch, which we hadn't visited yet, from the sky! I would definitely like to participate again if the opportunity arises.

家族三人で参加しました。
せっかくだから、親ではなく娘に操縦体験をさせてあげようということとなり、9才の娘が操縦、両親が同乗者で申し込み。ホテルの送迎も無料で、ハワイ事情に疎い我々に色々とタメになる情報を教えて頂きました。事前に娘が体験操縦すること、娘は英語があまり喋れないことを連絡したところ、パイロットとの事前の打ち合わせに時間を多くとって貰い、問題なく飛ぶことが出来ました。体験操縦なので、上空で少々操縦桿を握る程度かと思っていましたが、元々はセスナの操縦ライセンスを取得できる学校が運営していることもあり、滑走路の運転から離陸、上空での右旋回、左旋回など様々な操縦を体験させて貰いました。流石に着陸はパイロットの方にお任せしましたが…英語の方もヘッドホンとマイクを通して、パイロットの方と娘、両親が会話を出来るので、部分的に我々が通訳することも出来ました。帰国前日に参加したので、それまで行ったワイキキ ビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ハナウマ湾、ハレイワ、ノースショア、パールハーバー、それからまだ行ったことのないクアロアランチなどを上空から見ることが出来て最高でした！また、機会があれば是非参加したいと思います。

We did one of the glass bottom kayak tours while in Oahu and had a great time. Hunter and Ramsey were our guides and were amazing! Our group had some younger children, and the guides made sure everyone had fun and was able to stay together. I would highly recommend this!

Had a great experience with my daughter. The boat was a little rocky and I’m very sensitive. But overall it was fun. The staff was very knowledgeable. I saw three huge shark and I was done.

It was a fleeting moment in time.
Thank you for taking care of my son and me.
Everyone was so kind and considerate, and I appreciate you creating such a wonderful experience for us.
Your attention to detail made it the best memory for my son and me in Hawaii.
We look forward to seeing you again next time!

Wishing you lots of happiness...

あっという間の時間でした。
息子とお世話になりました。
皆様とても優しく思い遣りのある方ばかりで素敵な時間を作って頂きありがとうございました。
細かいところまでお気遣い頂き息子共々ハワイで1番の思い出になりました。
次もまた息子共々よろしくお願いします‼︎

たくさんのハピネスがありますように…

We booked this for our honeymoon, wanting to create memorable activities in Hawaii. We searched for "Hawaii Cessna" and made the reservation because it was the first option that came up.

The reservation site was available in Japanese, which made us feel secure about booking.

A Japanese staff member picked us up by car at our hotel, and during the ride, we had a friendly conversation about how to enjoy Hawaii and recommended spots.

There was a shop very close to Honolulu Airport. Upon arrival, we were attended to by Japanese staff. We received a drink service, and since we had some time, we were shown around the airport in a golf cart. It was my first time seeing airplanes up close, which was thrilling. We were lucky enough to witness a U.S. military fighter jet take off.

During the flight, we were assisted in English, and they kindly accommodated our broken English. I felt a slight sense of weightlessness when the wind blew, but even as someone who isn't good with thrill rides, I was able to relax and enjoy the experience. They helped with most of the piloting, so I felt secure holding the controls.

On the way back, they provided us with useful local information and were very kind. They also listened to our concerns about our Hawaii trip.

Thanks to their kindness, we not only enjoyed the Cessna experience but also had a heartwarming and fulfilling time. I highly recommend it. I hope you get to experience it too!

妻と2人での新婚旅行。ハワイで思い出に残るアクティビティをという気持ちから予約しました。「ハワイ　セスナ」で検索し一番に出てきた理由で予約をしました。
予約サイトも日本語対応で安心して予約できました。

ホテルまで日本人のスタッフが車でお迎えに来ていただき、車中ではハワイの過ごし方、おすすめスポットなど和気藹々とした空気でお話をしてくださりました。

ホノルルの飛行場のすぐ近くに、お店がありました。到着してからも日本人スタッフに対応していただきました。到着して、ドリンクのサービスがあり、また時間があったので、ゴルフカートで飛行場の中を案内してもらいました。間近で飛行機を見る機会など初めてだったので感動しました。運が良くアメリカ軍の戦闘機が飛び立つ瞬間も見れました。

フライト時には、英語で対応していただきましたが、こちらのカタコトの英語でも、親切に対応してくださいました。
浮遊感は風が吹くと少しだけ感じられましたが、絶叫系の苦手な私でも、リラックスして運転できました。
操縦はほとんど手伝っていただけるので、安心してハンドルを握れました。

帰り道にも現地の役立つ情報を教えていただき、大変親切にしていただきました。こちらが思っていたハワイ旅行の不安な点も聞いていただきました。

大変親切にしていただいたので、セスナの体験はもちろんですが、それ以上に心温まる充実した時間を過ごすことができました。
大変おすすめです。ぜひ体験してみてほしいです。

Looking was great. Very informative and entertaining. The trip was exciting for all eleven of us. Wish we had time here to go again but no such luck. Totally recommend this experience. Probably the best tour of our trip!!

My husband and I had so much fun. Best ziplining we ever done. The staff was amazing and all the pictures came out great. We will for sure do this again the next time we visit the island.

The crew with Captain David was awesome! Very friendly and made sure we felt comfortable and safe on the way out to the cage, during the encounter, and on our way back to the dock. We were lucky to see 4 tiger sharks as we arrived. This was a bucket list item for me snd the crew made it all that more memorable. Would recommend booking with this company for your future shark encounters!

I can't recommend this tour enough! John was a wonderful guide, and we all had a fantastic day!

We came to Hawaii for our honeymoon and decided to try the Cessna experience flight that we had been curious about! The pick-up and drop-off were smooth, and it was reassuring to have support in Japanese! The chatting in the car was fun, and upon arrival, we were treated to cold towels and juice. The flight was a bit nerve-wracking, but they explained the famous sights of Hawaii, and it was a wonderful time that passed quickly! Thank you to the kind Japanese staff and instructors! We look forward to visiting again when we come back to Hawaii!

新婚旅行でハワイに来て記念で気になっていたセスナの体験飛行に乗ってみました！
送り迎えもスムーズで日本語で対応していただけて安心でした！車内でのお喋りも楽しく、着いてからも冷たいおしぼり、ジュースでおもてなしをしてくれました。フライトも緊張しましたが、ハワイの名所を説明してくれてあっという間で素敵な時間が過ごせました！
親切な日本のスタッフさん、インストラクターさんありがとうございました！またハワイに来た際はよろしくお願いします！

I participated in a tour with seven zip lines. There were seven lines ranging from shorter ones to the longest one on Oahu, and there were activities other than zip lining along the way, so I never got bored. Both adults and children can enjoy it thoroughly.

Along the way, there was cold water provided in disposable paper cups, which was very appreciated. The scenery was also wonderful, and I definitely want to participate again.

ジップライン7本のツアーに参加しました。短めのものからオアフ島最長のものまで7本で、途中にジップライン以外のアクティビティもあって飽きることがありませんでした。大人も子供も十分に楽しめます。
途中に冷たいお水が使い捨ての紙カップと一緒に置いてあり、これがとってもありがたかったです。景色も素晴らしく、また是非参加したいです。

A cultural and historical event that any and every visitor to Hawaii should experience at least once. Not only is it a smooth operating show, but they did an outstanding job of explaining the historical reasoning behind everything.

The food was great and the hospitality was first class. Their location on the north side of the island was amazing and a counterpoint to the the South side. There's also the added benefit of being just down the road from famous Sunset Beach!

I was worried about participating since I couldn't speak any English, but the explanations were clear and easy to understand thanks to the use of gestures, allowing for a smooth experience.

Traveling by bus would have taken quite a long time, so we took an Uber from Matsumoto Shave Ice on the North Shore.

The horseback riding lasted about an hour and a half, and there were two local guides for our group of two. They took nearly 50 photos and shared all of them with us for free via AirDrop.

Even as first-time riders, the horses followed the path perfectly. The scenery was beautiful, and it was truly amazing.

全く英語が出来ず心配で参加しましたが、ジェスチャーを交えてわかりやすく説明してくれたため、スムーズに体験することができました。
移動はバスだと時間がかなりかかるため、ノースショアのマツモトシェイブアイスから、Uberで行きました。
乗馬の時間は1時間30分程で、2組に2人の現地のガイドが付いてくれました。写真も50枚近く撮ってくれて、エアドロップで無料で全てくれました。
乗馬初体験の私たちでも、道順通りに馬が乗せてってくれました。景色も良くて本当に最高でした。

Highly Recommended!!! Tour guide Ramsey was friendly, knowledgeable and great fun! Will definitely ask for him next time

This tour was the best thing we could’ve booked during our stay. It was our first time in hawaii and Jonah went above and beyond to give us the best experience. We were able to try some of the best spots on the island such as Leonards bakery, and the bald guy, along with the visit to the beer garden. He even took us to places that weren’t on the schedule, and we couldn’t thank him enough! We stopped at a beach on the north side where we were able to watch dolphins. We were so happy to have Jonah along our side with amazing knowledge and to give us the do’s and dont's of hawaii. We highly recommend to book this tour with Jonah for your first time to get that hawaiian experience you’re looking for! Thank you Jonah so so much for everything! (Especially the horses!)

For our first time here. I will say this was the best tour to do. Our tour Guy was amazing he went over and beyond to show us everything and made us feel so welcomed. Jonah is the best tour guide we’ve had since we’ve been here. He explained details and the history of Hawaii thru out the drive. Took all our pictures of us and our adventure. We want to thank him for making our 2nd day memorable. Book this tour.

This was one of the highlights of our trip! It was a perfect morning, kayaking out with Steve on a SUP. He was super informative and helpful, making sure we were comfortable and happy. Then we did some rad snorkeling. We saw turtles and lots of fish. I wimped out on kayaking back, so Steve drove us I highly recommend this experience.

On the day I arrived in Honolulu from Japan, I headed straight to the meeting place office. The owner was absent that day, so a representative assisted us. They were very kind, a Japanese person, and also acted as an interpreter with the instructor. The office was clean, and I was able to spend my waiting time and time after the flight very comfortably.

The flight was quite nerve-wracking, but the instructor taught us carefully, and I was able to pilot for a long time. Of course, whenever it seemed like the control was becoming unstable, we quickly switched, and there were no safety issues. My wife, who was sitting in the back seat, was filming videos on her smartphone. She said the scenery was incredibly beautiful.

We saw truly stunning views that you can't see from the ground, and that you can't experience on a commercial flight either. If you have even a little interest, I think this is a tour you should definitely experience at least once in your lifetime!

Thank you for the valuable and wonderful experience! And thank you for your very kind assistance!

日本からホノルルに着いた日に、そのまま集合場所の事務所に向かいました。
この日はオーナーさんが不在とのことで、代理の方が対応してくれました。とにかく優しく、日本人の方で、インストラクターの方との通訳も担っていました。事務所もきれいでとても快適に待ち時間やフライト後の時間を過ごさせていただきました。

フライトはとても緊張しましたが、インストラクターの方が丁寧に教えてくださり、多くの時間を操縦することができました。もちろん操縦が不安定になりそうな時にはすぐに交代したり、安全面も問題なかったです。
連れの妻も後ろの席に座りスマホで動画をまわしていました。景色がとにかく綺麗だったそうです。

地上からでは絶対見れない、かと言って旅客機でも体験できない、本当に綺麗な景色が見れました。少しでも興味があれば、一生に一度はぜひ体験したほうがいいツアーかと思います！

貴重で素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました！
そして、とても親切に対応していただきありがとうございました！

The Japanese staff provided very polite guidance on transportation, recommended spots in Hawaii, and things to be careful about regarding taxis and time slots. Their service was incredibly kind beyond just the experience! Of course, the piloting was thrilling from takeoff to landing, making it a truly extraordinary experience!

日本人スタッフの方が送迎から、ハワイのおすすめのスポット、タクシーや時間帯で気をつけること等大変丁寧に教えてくださり、体験以外のところもとっても親切なサービスでした！！
もちろん操縦も離陸から着陸までスリリングで非日常が大変楽しかったです！

This was a fun adventure for our family! Ryan did an amazing job as our tour guide. We were able to see the beautiful land and experience the thrill of being in an ATV!

This is our first family ATV tour and we had a BLAST!
The scenery was spectacular and our Tour guide “Kiokie” is so amazing which makes it more memorable. My daughter likes to do it again when we go back.

Friendly driver, clean bus, delicious malasadas!
Got to see all the good stuff and not have to drive.
I wish we had more time at the temple that is my only complaint.

Overall we enjoyed this adventure.
-The staff was very good. They were both informative and entertaining.
- We went on a very windy day, but they managed the ocean well and got us to our destination.
- We managed to see a couple of nice sized Sharks while we were out. The cage was very secure and you had no feelings of not being safe.
- I had an AMAZING time, but my husband, who can't handle the sea travel, got sick.

Had a good time and would definitely recommend.

It was my first time flying in a Cessna, and with the cheerful and fun pilot at the controls, I enjoyed the beautiful nature of Hawaii that has revived during the COVID-19 pandemic.

初めてのセスナ搭乗でしたが、明るく楽しいパイロットの操縦で、コロナ禍で甦ったハワイの美しい自然を満喫しました。

Our tour guides were super nice and cute! The views were amazing. We spent around 3 hours and it’s worth every single moment:) definitely do this when you go to Hawaii

This was a once in a lifetime experience!! The staff was very friendly and helpful. I felt so safe and we saw some Galapagos sharks, some barracuda and even a tiger shark!! It was so much fun! Definitely a great opportunity for anyone!!

A really good tour with an excellent tour guide that gave tons of Hawaiian history. The snorkeling spot was incredibly rocky and definitely not for a beginner or child. Loved all the hawaiin history and "Cap" was great but not worth the money in my opinion.

I booked this as a spontaneous adventure for my parents and siblings first time visiting Oahu. None of us are super outdoorsy people (I don't even know how to swim) but we had a blast with this experience. The crew was fun, funny, knowledgeable and helpful. There was a lot of nervousness and anxiety with an experience like this but I felt at ease with them with their experience at sea and knowledge of the sharks we encountered. I loved that they loved what they do. I loved that we all shared the same respect and awe for the sharks.

We were fortunate enough to see 2 tiger sharks and dolphins on the way back!! Even my mom who was brought along as just an observer had an incredible experience on the boat ride and took some awesome pics! I wish I had prior experience working with snorkeling gear and learning breathing techniques to stay down longer to spend more time seeing the beautiful tiger sharks we saw. Next time, because there for sure will be, I'll be ready to handle the currents, my breathing techniques, and will bring my own GoPro! Can't wait for next time! Thank you to the amazing Hawaii Shark Encounters crew!

We are retired and this was a bucket list item. This was fun for any age an experience you take with you forever.
We made adventure friends and have pictures to share with our grandkids.
I highly recommend this for families with kids. A wonderful way to start a new appreciation for the ocean.
