All Reviews for North Shore Tours & Things To Do

I was able to swim through the vast sky, and the contrast with the blue ocean was amazing. The instructors were all cheerful and had great energy!

大空を空中遊泳ができ、青い海のコントラストも最高でした。インストラクターも皆さん陽気でノリもサイコー

Swimming with sharks was an experience I honestly couldn't imagine at all, and I felt a bit anxious about it. However, after being introduced to it by a friend, I decided to take the plunge and give it a try.

I was really nervous right up until the moment I entered the water, but once I was in the ocean, I found that the sharks swam gracefully and calmly. Being able to swim alongside them and see them up close turned out to be a very enjoyable experience.

The speed at which they swam was not as fast as I had expected, and I was able to swim right above them. While it was thrilling, the sense of awe I felt was much greater than any fear, making it an unforgettable time.

The tour was conducted in English only, but the staff occasionally spoke to us in Japanese, which made me feel more at ease. Additionally, I had heard from friends who participated in other tours that they had trouble receiving their photos, but in this tour, the photos were sent immediately after we arrived at the port, making the process very smooth. (There were no issues even with an Android phone.)

サメと一緒に泳ぐという体験は、正直なところまったく想像がつかず、少し不安もありましたが、友達に紹介してもらったことをきっかけに思い切って挑戦しました。
直前までとてもドキドキしていましたが、いざ海に入ってみると、サメはとても悠々と落ち着いて泳いでいて、その姿を間近で見ながら一緒に泳ぐことができ、とても楽しい体験となりました。

泳ぐスピードも思っていたほど速くなく、サメのすぐ上を並んで泳ぐこともできました。迫力はありつつも、怖さよりも感動の方が大きく、忘れられない時間になりました。

ツアーは英語のみでしたが、スタッフの方が時折日本語を交えながら話しかけてくださり、安心して参加することができました。
また、他のツアーに参加した友達からは、写真の送付がなかなか届かないといったトラブルを聞いていましたが、このツアーでは港に到着後すぐに写真を送信してくださり、とてもスムーズでした。（携帯の機種がAndroidでも問題ありませんでした。）

Accessing the location was a bit challenging from Waikiki by rental car, but the horseback riding time was very long, and I was satisfied! The scenery was magnificent and beautiful. The horses were very smart, and the staff was kind. At the end, you can feed the horses a little. I gave a tip at that time!

アクセスはワイキキからはレンタカーで少し大変でしたが、乗馬時間はとても長い時間あるし、満足出来ました！とにかく景色が雄大で美しいです。馬たちはとても賢く、スタッフも親切でした。最後に馬に餌を少しあげられます。その時にチップを渡しました！

Ken-san has the appearance of a foreigner, but his fluent Japanese and ability to communicate made it very reassuring for our family, who cannot speak English, to enjoy the tour in this foreign land. While it's comforting to have someone who looks Japanese working in Hawaii, this is still Hawaii. Ken-san's tour was fantastic. He included little quizzes and interesting tidbits throughout, so we learned a lot as well. I would love to have his assistance again!

けんさん、見た目は外国の方。だけど、日本語が流暢で、話が通じるというのは、異国の地で英語が話せない一家にはとても安心してツアーを楽しむことができました。見た目が日本人で、ハワイで働かれている方も安心しますが、やはりここはハワイ。けんさんのツアー最高でした。ちょこちょこためになるクイズやうんちくも挟んでくださるので、学びもいっぱい。またお世話になりたいです！

The pickup from the hotel was very smooth. Climbing to the summit with a light in hand in the pitch dark and watching the sunrise made me feel refreshed. I've visited Hawaii many times, but I realized there are still places I haven't been to, and it felt like I rediscovered the charm of Hawaii. I encountered sea turtles at various beaches, and visiting the macadamia nut farm and coffee plantation was enjoyable as well. Above all, our guide Jonathan's chatter made it a truly delightful tour. I highly recommend it.

ホテル前からのピックアップはとてもスムーズでした。真っ暗な中ライトを片手に山頂まで登って朝日が上がるのを見られて清々しい気分になりました。
何回もハワイを訪れていますが、行っていない場所がまだまだあったんだなーとハワイの魅力を再発見した気分です。
あちこちの海岸でホヌに出会ってマカダミアナッツファームもコーヒー農園も楽しかったです。何よりガイドのジョナサンのお喋りがとても楽しい気分にさせてくれた最高のツアーでした。おすすめです。

I was glad to be dropped off at the beach on the North Shore and see authentic surfing. The walk towards the town looked interesting, but unfortunately, most places were closed during the tour's time slot. I returned around noon and saw a few shops, but it would have been great if the tour could have been delayed by another hour. I also enjoyed taking pictures of the mini tour and the Haleiwa sign.

ノースショアの浜辺で降ろしてもらい本場のサーフィンが見れて良かったです。
そこから街の方に歩いて行く道のりみせも面白そうで、ただしツアーの時間帯では殆どが開店前、お昼にもどり何軒かは見ましたが、後一時間ツアーを遅らせてくれるとありがたいです。ミニツアーもハレイワ看板も撮れて良かったです。

I was able to see sharks swimming slowly around the cage I was in. It was my first experience, and I had a lot of fun. I was worried about getting seasick, but thanks to the motion sickness medication I took, it wasn't a problem at all.

自分が入っているゲージの周りをゆっくり泳ぐサメを見ることが出来ました。初めての体験でとても楽しかったです。心配していた船酔いは、酔い止めを飲んでいたおかげもあって問題なかったです。

I heard that there is the longest zip line on Oahu, so I participated with my son, who loves zip lining. It seems to be quite popular, and we couldn't get a reservation for the time we initially requested, so we ended up joining the tour first thing in the morning.

When we left Waikiki in the morning, it wasn't raining, but by the time we arrived at our destination, it was pouring. We did the zip line in that downpour, which was more than just a natural shower, but I think in Japan, they would have canceled the activity due to the weather, so in a way, it was a good experience. I thought it would have been amazing if the weather had been nice. Also, according to our guide, it tends to rain a lot during this season, so I think having something like a mountain parka would provide peace of mind.

オアフ島で1番長いジップラインがあると聞いて、ジップラインが大好きな息子と参加させて頂きました。人気が高い様で、最初お願いした時間では予約が取れず、結局、朝一番でのツアー参加になりました。
朝ワイキキを出る際には雨は降っていませんでしたが、目的地に着く頃には土砂降りでした。その中でジップラインをしましたが、天然のシャワーどころではありませんでしたが、日本だったら中止の天候だったと思いますので、ある意味良い経験が出来たと思います。天気が良かったら最高だったろうな…と思いました。また、ガイドの話ではこの時期は雨が多いそうですので、マウンテンパーカーの様な物があると安心だと思います。

I applied to participate on-site, but I didn't realize the distance, and it took quite a while to get there by taxi. The horse riding itself was a lot of fun, and there were even sharks on the beach, which made it quite exciting.

現地参加で応募しましたが、距離感分かっておらず現地到着までにタクシーで相当かかりました。馬自体はとても楽しく、浜辺にサメがいたりして結構もりあがりました。

At first, I was worried because there was no pick-up for over 10 minutes. However, once I boarded safely, it was about a one-hour journey to the North.

最初１０分以上迎えがないため心配になりました。しかし無事に乗り込むとノースまで約１時間程度の旅でした。

Instructors and everyone involved, thank you for your warm hospitality! Thanks to you, my first experience on a Cessna was the best time ever! I believe it will become one of my best memories of activities in Hawaii!

インストラクター＆関係者の皆様、とてもあたたかな対応をして下さいました！
おかげで初めてのセスナ機体験は最高の時間でした！

ハワイでのアクティビティの最高の思い出になると思います！

We had a great time touring the island without the need to rent a car. Our tour guide Stephanie was very friendly and knowledgeable and made our day a memorable experience. Definitely recommend this for a quick tour of a few of the popular places to visit on Oahu.

I was able to enjoy a leisurely horseback ride. I was especially grateful for the good weather. It would have been tough if it had rained...

The city exploration is free, so it might be better to plan your own itinerary to some extent. I personally value being able to ride along the coast, so it was great for me, but I would say it might not be an experience I could recommend to everyone, as it may not suit all tastes.

ゆったり乗馬を楽しめました。天候に恵まれて何よりでした。これが雨だったら辛いたけかもしれない・・・。
街の散策はフリーなので、ある程度自分でプランを立てて参加したほうがいいかもしれせん。
私は海岸沿いを乗馬出来る事に価値を感じているのでいいのですが、全ての方におすすめ出来るかというと、人を選ぶ体験であると言えるかもしれません。

If you can view the sightseeing of Oahu from the sky as just that, it can be a very enjoyable activity. However, if you are expecting to actually pilot the aircraft, it’s better not to have overly high expectations. Basically, you are just holding the controls and guiding a little. You won’t be able to move the controls yourself. Enjoy the sightseeing from the sky without expecting to pilot the aircraft.

空からのオアフ島観光と割り切れれば、非常に楽しいアクティビティと思います。
ただ体験操縦を期待されるなら、過度に期待されない方が良いと思います。
基本、舵を握っている、手を添えているだけです。舵を動かすことはできません。
体験操縦を期待せずに、空からの観光を楽しんでください。

Ken's stories were really interesting, and he gave us various recommendations, allowing us to make the most of our limited time! The quiz on the bus was a lot of fun! Be sure to look for Dewazakura!

ケンさんのお話がとっても面白く、いろんなオススメを教えてもらい、限られた時間を有意義に時間を使うことができました！車内でのクイズがとても楽しかったです！
ぜひ、出羽桜を見つけてくださいね！

I had signed up for a clear kayak and snorkeling experience, but due to the possibility of rain, I was given the option to cancel at the last minute or switch to a regular kayak. Since I had already arranged a rental car from Waikiki to Haleiwa and everything was planned, I couldn't cancel. As a result, I ended up with just the regular kayak for two hours, which was quite boring. In the end, the weather improved on the day, and it didn't rain, plus the waves weren't high, but I still couldn't do the clear kayak and snorkeling.

Additionally, I received a text the day before asking me to look for a white truck, and since the company operated with just one truck, there was no office building at the meeting point. The way it was described during the booking made it seem like there would be a building, which caused quite a bit of confusion. I was told that if I came in the summer, I could do the clear kayak and snorkeling, but I wanted to combine it with the Honolulu Marathon, so I came in the winter. If it says that clear kayaking and snorkeling are available, I really hoped they would do their best to provide those activities.

申し込んだクリアカヤックとシュノーケリングが出来ず、雨が降るかもということで直前にキャンセルするかレギュラーカヤックにするかの選択肢を出され、ワイキキからハレイワへのレンタルカーも用意してすべて計画済の後だったのでキャンセルするわけにもいかず、クリアカヤックとシュノーケリングの料金でレギュラーカヤックだけとなりそれが2時間で退屈なものとなった。結局当日天気は持ち直し雨も降らず波も高くなかったがクリアカヤックとシュノーケリングはしてもらえなかった。また前日にショートメールが来て白いトラックを探してくれということで、トラック1台で運用してる会社だったので、集合場所に事務所的な建物はなく、申込時は建物があるような書き方だったので、かなり混乱すると思います。夏に来ればクリアカヤックとシュノーケリングが出来るのにと言われたが、ホノルルマラソンと合わせたかったので冬に来たが、クリアカヤックとシュノーケリングが出来ると書くのであれば、極力クリアカヤックとシュノーケリングを実施してほしかった。

This tour is ideal for first-time visitors or anyone wanting a comprehensive overview of Oahu. It’s a great value and an enjoyable, stress-free way to experience the island. Highly recommended.

Stops were perfectly paced and included highlights like beautiful lookout points, North Shore beaches, and the Dole Pineapple area!

The tour was very organized, with a comfortable vehicle and a knowledgeable guide who shared local fun facts throughout the day. We loved seeing the contrast between Oahu’s scenic East Side coastline to the laid-back North Shore.

I was able to take a wonderful walk along the beach this morning on a very calm and intelligent horse! The height of the view was also fantastic.

とってもおだやかで賢い馬に乗って
朝からとってもいい気持ちで浜辺を散歩できました！
目線の高さも最高です

Since the 25th is Christmas, I arranged everything knowing that the tourist spots would be crowded. On the day itself, as expected, there were many cars and only a few shops were open, but thanks to the thoughtful arrangements, my family was able to spend a meaningful time together. Thank you very much.

25日はクリスマスと言うこともあり、観光地は空いてないのを承知で手配しました。当日、観光地は想像通り車多く店は少ししか空いていませんでしたが、気配りも頂き家族で有意義な時間過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

We were blessed with great weather, and I was guided to some wonderful photo spots, making for very nice memories. The driver shared various information along the way, which was very helpful.

お天気に恵まれ、写真スポットにも案内していただきとてもいい思い出になりました。
ドライバーさんが道中いろいろな情報をお話ししてくださったのでとても参考になりました。

Lots to get to see around Oahu, it deserves its highlights as it was fabulous to see the city and country side!

I wanted to enjoy Matsumoto Shave Ice and Huli Huli Chicken in Haleiwa, so I opted for the 3-hour stay course. On the way there, we didn't have much time to relax at the Dole Presentation, but we managed to buy some limited edition items and eat ice cream before heading to Haleiwa. We were able to visit all the places we aimed for, and the weather was so nice that I felt three hours wasn't enough! It was a fulfilling tour.

I think you can either join a tour or drive a rental car to Haleiwa, but I wasn't in the mood to drive, so joining the tour was the right choice! Since it was after Thanksgiving, the roads were clear, and we didn't get stuck in traffic, allowing us to enjoy the day without stress.

ハレイワでマツモトシェイブアイスやフリフリチキンを楽しみたかったので3時間滞在コースにしました。
行きの途中で寄るドールプレゼンテーションはあまりゆっくりしている暇がありませんでしたが限定品を買ったりアイスを食べハレイワへ。目的の場所はすべて行けた上に天気も良く３時間じゃ足りない！と思えるほど充実のツアーでした。
ハレイワまではツアーに参加するかレンタカーを自分で運転するかになるかと思いますが車を運転する気にはなれずツアーに参加して正解でした！感謝祭後ということもあり道も空いていて渋滞にもはまらずストレスなく過ごせました。

My friends and I had a great time during this luau! There were a lot of activities to learn traditional manners of cooking, delicious food to eat, and an outstanding show with dance from all the Polynesian islands. I would truly recommend this experience to everyone! Everyone that worked there was very personable as well. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to actually explore the valley but I heard great things about that. I would definitely leave time before to go to the waterfall.

This is my second time using the tour company. The driver, Massan, was quiet on the way to Haleiwa, but during the mini tour, he really showed his true colors and provided a fun time. He even came out and said, "Actually, I made this song." It turned out that the song that had been playing in the car since the beginning of the trip was selected from Massan's original album. That was another interesting episode and made it enjoyable. Thank you very much.

当ツアーの催行会社さん二度目の利用者です。
ドライバーのmassanは往路こそ物静かにハレイワまで連れて行ってくれましたが、ミニツアーでは、本領を発揮して楽しい時間を提供してくれました。
そして、「実はこの曲作ってるの自分なんです。」とカミングアウト。往路からずっと車内で流れていた曲はmassanのオリジナルアルバムからの選曲であったことが判明。それもまた、面白エピソードで楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

上から見る世界、そして私の人生で最も危険な瞬間。
フリーフォールのスリルと、果てしない景色の美しさ。
恐怖が畏敬の念に変わる瞬間—私はそれを決して忘れないでしょう。
ありがとう。

The world from above, and the most dangerous moment of my life.
The thrill of freefall, and the beauty of the endless view.
A moment when fear turns into awe—I’ll never forget it.
Thank you.

My first skydiving experience was amazing, as I got to enjoy the breathtaking views of Hawaii from the sky!

I felt no fear at all and was able to fly while being healed by the beautiful sea, sky, and islands of Hawaii, along with the pleasant breeze. There were many Japanese participants, and since we supported each other with any uncertainties, I didn't have to worry about the language barrier.

On the day of the jump, I had the option to choose a higher altitude for the dive when making the payment. After jumping, we descended slowly with the parachute, giving us more floating time than I had imagined, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy the scenery. However, jumping from a higher altitude seems like it would provide an even more exhilarating experience!

I definitely want to try skydiving again!

人生初のスカイダイビング、ハワイの絶景を空から満喫できて最高でした！

恐怖感は一切なく、美しい海と空とハワイの島、心地良い風に癒されながら飛ぶことができました。
日本人の参加者が多く、わからない部分は参加者同士でサポートしてもらいながら準備できたので言語の心配はありませんでした。

当日支払い時にもオプションで飛ぶ高度を上げるか選べました。
飛んでからゆっくりパラシュートで降りていくので、浮遊時間は想像以上よりは長く、じっくり景色を楽しむ事ができますが、高い方がより爽快感が味わえそうです！

ぜひまたスカイダイビングに挑戦したいです！

I was moved by the breathtaking scenery beyond my imagination!! The person who picked me up and the instructor who took care of me were both cool and had wonderful smiles, which was a treat for the eyes ^ ^ I want to fly again◎ Thank you very much!

想像以上の絶景に感動します！！
送迎してくれた方も
担当してくれたインストラクターの方も
かっこよくて笑顔が素敵で
目の保養になりました^ ^
また飛びたいです◎
ありがとうございました！

We were blessed with beautiful weather and were able to experience the refreshing North Shore. Despite the sudden change in plans, the driver who guided us was very accommodating. I forgot to ask for their name, but thank you very much! 🙇

良い天気に恵まれて爽やかなノースショアを体感できました
急な予定変更にも関わらず案内していただいたドライバーさんは快く応じていただきました
お名前をお伺いするの忘れてましたが、ありがとうございました🙇
