All Reviews for North Shore Tours & Things To Do

First time in Hawaii and wanted to make sure we had a fun and exciting time. Once I saw this shark cage activity, I knew we had to try it since we are so outgoing. North shore have the best crew members who know what they are doing. They make you feel calm and secure. It was such a great experience being in the cage and seeing the sharks swim around up close. We were able to get amazing photos with our go-pro and a lifetime of memories. Plus bragging rights of swimming with sharks. Highly recommended if you love water and sharks!

At 5:00, we were picked up from the hotel and arrived in about 50 minutes while watching an explanation video in English and Japanese in the car. The driver spoke Japanese and engaged with us while we waited on-site, taking photos as well. There was also a wagon selling light snacks. The waiting time wasn't too long, and we finished jumping by around 8:15. All 14 of us who came in the same car waited for everyone to finish jumping, and by around 10:00, we headed towards Waikiki, returning to the hotel around 10:50. There was another company called Skydive next door that seemed to start jumping around 9:00, so it was definitely the right choice to go with Pacific, as we finished much earlier. I didn't buy any photos or videos, but it became a really great memory. It was so much fun that I want to challenge myself to do it again.

5:00ホテルピックアップで行きの車の中で説明のビデオを英語と日本語で見ながら、約50分で到着しました。ドライバーは日本語が話せる方で、現地で待っている間もいろいろ話しかけてくれたり、写真を撮ってくれたりしました。軽食を売ってるワゴンもありました。待ち時間はそんなに長くなくて、8:15くらいには飛び終わっていました。行きに同じ車できた計14人全員が飛び終わるのを待って10:00前くらいにはワイキキに向かい、10:50くらいにホテルに戻れました。隣にスカイダイブという会社もスカイダイビングをやっていたけど、飛び始めたのが9:00くらいだったようなので、パシフィックの方が全然早く終わっていたのでこちらにして正解でした。写真もビデオも買わなかったけど、すごく良い思い出になりました。楽しかったから、またチャレンジしたいと思います。

This was absolutely incredible! It was my first time ever being on a helicopter. This was a surprise for my girlfriend. My girlfriend was so impressed! Our Pilot, Mooch, was awesome! He actually flew for President Clinton. He was very knowledgeable and he would answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend this helicopter tour. We visited Pearl Harbor and we were able to view the US Arizona from the sky. We traveled around Waikiki and Diamond Head. We circled around the island and finished going by our hotel the Aulani. Make sure to bring a camera because you will have breathtaking picture opportunities. At one point we missed something and we told Mooch. He circled back around and hovered the helicopter so we could get a picture of what we missed. He went above and beyond. We both felt extremely safe with him in control of the helicopter.

I looked at many other helicopter tour packages and I am so glad I chose this option. It was affordable and definitely worth the money. It was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii.

In the wide grasslands, I leisurely enjoyed time with my horse and friends. From the top of the hill, I could see Turtle Bay. The guide was also very kind and provided great assistance.

広い草原の中を、ゆったりと馬と友達に。丘の上からはタートルベイが見えました。
ガイドさんも優しく案内してくれ、とてもよかったです。

One of the coolest things I have ever done in my life. Great staff, they get you in and out, but provide you with enough information for you to know that they are legit. They followed all of the safety recommendations, and we're really thorough.

Wow what a wonderful day, the tour guide was fantastic and he made sure we were enjoying our Hawaiian experience. We were taken to many beautiful places and given plenty of time to experience them. He was very informative and made our day memorable.

It was nerve-wracking until we took off. I boarded the plane last, so I was the first to jump out. I was scared because I wasn't mentally prepared, but those feelings disappeared somewhere, and it was wonderful.

飛ぶまでドキドキでした、飛行機に乗り込み上空へ最後に乗ったので飛び出すのは1番目、心の準備が無い内に飛び出して怖かった気持ちは何処かへ行ってしまい素晴らしかったです、

Saw much of the same sights by helicopter Sat. Nice to see up close and personal. Ken was a great guide, very helpful. Nice group.

Since it was our first time in Hawaii, we were anxious about participating in the tour on our own. There were continuous troubles, and I was also worried because the guide was an elderly Japanese man who couldn't speak Japanese.

初めてのハワイだったため自分たちでツアーに参加することじたい不安でした。
トラブル続きだったし、ガイドさんが日本のおじいちゃん+日本語が出来ないとこも不安でした。

The instructors are there to support you, so you can feel at ease! The view from the sky is amazing!! I recommend everyone to try it at least once!! Skydiving is incredibly exhilarating! It's also advisable not to eat too much before starting!

インストラクターのひとがちゃんと付いてくださるので安心ですよ！空からの景色は最高です！！皆さんも一度やってみることをお勧めします！！スカイダイビングは爽快感がすごいです！始める前には、あまりご飯を食べないこともお勧めします！

It was the first experience of a lifetime! The instructors were also incredibly entertaining, it was the best! A breathtaking view from over 4,000 meters high.

人生ではじめての感覚‼イントラの人たちもとても楽しませてくれて最高でした✨4,000メートルより高い世界から絶景。

This Zipline adventure was the highlight of our trip. The whole experience was awesome! Our guides were a lot of fun.

I had a great time! If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to relax a bit more in Haleiwa. My stay in Haleiwa was only about an hour as I was heading to go horseback riding. The garlic shrimp place I was aiming for opened about 15 minutes late, so I had to hurry and scarf down the garlic shrimp. It was delicious, but I wanted to savor it more and check out other shops as well.

とても楽しかったです！欲を言えばハレイワでもう少しのんびりしたかったなぁ。乗馬に向かうためハレイワ滞在は一時間位でした。お目当てのガーリックシュリンプ屋さんの開店が15分ほど遅れて急いでガーリックシュリンプをかきこむことに。美味しかったけどもっと味わいたかったし、他のお店も見たかったです。

It was rainy on the day, and there was quite a bit of waiting time, but it cleared up and we were able to jump. It was the best time. If I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely go skydiving. It was amazing. Thank you very much.

当日は雨模様で待ち時間がかなりありましたが、それでも晴れてきて飛ぶことができました。最高の時間でした。またハワイに行けば必ずスカイダイビングはやります。
最高でした。ありがとうございました。

It was my first time skydiving, and I thought I would be nervous, but it was such an amazing experience that I forgot all about that! On the day of the jump, I received a message that it couldn't be done due to strong winds, but I'm glad I didn't cancel and decided to go on another day. The instructor and the driver were both fun people, which made it even better!

初めてのスカイダイビングで緊張するかと思ってたけどそんな事忘れるくらいの素晴らしい体験でした！
当日は強風で出来ない連絡が来ましたが、キャンセルしないで別日に決行して良かったです。
インストラクターの方も送迎ドライバーさんも楽しい方で良かったです！

I was able to see an unbelievably beautiful view, and it was truly a great experience. I'm glad I did it!
- The swaying while descending with the parachute was intense, and I got extremely motion sick, so I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to it. I wish I had taken some...
- For the early morning group, I recommend wearing long sleeves as it can be a bit chilly.
- The staff members on the jump will take photos during the skydiving, but the distance and number of photos may vary by person!

信じられないくらいの絶景を見ることができ本当に良い経験になりました。やってよかったです！
・パラシュートで降りて来るときの横揺れが激しくて、人生最大級に酔って気持ち悪くなってしまったので、乗り物酔いしやすい方は絶対に酔い止めを飲まれることをオススメします。飲めばよかった。。
・朝早い組は肌寒いので長袖着用をオススメします。
・スカイダイビング中の写真は同乗スタッフの方が撮ってくれますが、距離や枚数は個人差あり！

I am 55 years old, and my husband is 65 years old. It's the best! It changes your perspective on life. You should definitely go for it without hesitation! My instructor kept me relaxed the whole time. I went and came back without waiting at all.

私55歳、旦那さん65歳最高‼️
人生観変わります。
迷わずやるべき！
私のインストラクターは始終リラックスさせてくれました〜
少しも待たずに行って帰ってきました。

My skydiving instructor Mark made my experience an unforgettable one! Not once during the whole process did I feel nervous about the fact that I was going to jump out of a plane for the first time. He was so sweet and his sense of humor made me relax. I can't wait to go back!

When flying, it was like an assembly line. There was virtually no hesitation time like you often see on TV. I got dizzy from the turns after the parachute opened, but I wasn't scared at all during the descent.

飛ぶ時は流れ作業でした。
テレビでよく見るような、ためらいの時間は無いも同然です。
パラシュート開いてからの旋回に酔ってダウンしてしまいましたが、降下中はぜんぜん怖くなかったです。

On that day, there were no other Japanese people besides my wife and me at any time. Both my wife and I have no problem with English, but there was also a receptionist (instructor??) who could speak Japanese, and she explained the important points to us in Japanese.
The first and second runs were tense. From the third run onward, I gradually got used to it and felt a sense of exhilaration. My wife slowed down midway and stopped in the middle twice, which the instructor found unusual and laughed about. The Americans in our group welcomed my wife and the instructor who went to help her with applause.

その日は、すべての時間帯で、日本人は我々夫婦以外はいませんでした。私も嫁さんも英語は全く問題ないですが、日本語のできる受付嬢（インストラクター？？）もいて、彼女から注意点を日本語でも説明を受けました。
１本目、2本目は緊張でした。3本目以降は徐々に慣れてきて、爽快感を感じました。嫁さんは、途中でスピードダウンし、真ん中でストップ、、、というのが2本あり、インストラクターも珍しい、、、と笑っていました。一緒のグループのアメリカ人達が、嫁さんとヘルプに行ったインストラクターを拍手で迎えてくれました。

in a nutshell. my granddaughter describe this family adventure as: "I was sleepy this early morning, but I was so excited afterwords to see the sharks in the ocean". The service was nice, very comfortable boat ride and well organized team. we watched the sharks for 20 minutes and it was like 20 minutes exploring the other world, the world of ocean and beautiful ocean creatures - sharks. so excited, so much fun. it definitely worth the money we spent. thank you the for some complementary souvenirs, my granddaughter liked the stickers )) we would recommend this activity and experience for families with children, and others. thank you, Valeriy, Russia.

I tried to go to Kualoa Ranch, but I couldn't make a reservation. So, I participated in this instead. Since there was no shuttle service, I was unsure how to get there, but I took a bus to the North Shore and enjoyed it thoroughly. Calling an Uber for a taxi was quick. Riding horses while gazing at the quiet sea without any tourists was elegant! Afterward, I was even allowed to feed the horses bananas.

クアロア牧場に行こうとしましたが、予約取れず。こちらに参加しました。送迎がないのでどう行こうか迷いましたが、ノースショアまでバスでノースショアを満喫しUberでタクシー呼んだらすぐでした。観光客のいない静かな海を眺めながらゆったり乗馬は優雅でした！終わった後に馬にバナナあげたりとかもさせてくれました。

I'm more than excited to write this review. Thanks for a good time this morning. I'd recommend this adventure for anyone who loves the ocean and these fantastic creatures. Sharks were friendly and gorgeous. The crew was knowledgeable and professional. This is definitely five stars experience with lots of fun. We enjoyed the morning on a comfortable boat, with an excellent crew and Sharks! I have done similar activities before, and I can tell that you did a good job guys. I can't image the better way to meet the sharks. Thank you guys! Save the sharks and ocean. Aloha! #northshoresharkadventures, @NorthShoreSharkAdventures

I was disappointed by the instructor's lack of enthusiasm. Compared to other instructors, the pre-jump practice was shorter, they seemed to find it bothersome, and there was no sign of proactive communication. I wanted to switch to someone else.

The skydiving experience itself was amazing. They really need to improve the training for instructors since we are entrusting them with our lives.

インストラクターのやる気のなさにがっかりしました。
ほかのインストラクターと比べると事前の予行練習も短いし、めんどくさそうだし、コミュニケーションを積極的にとる気配も無し、他の人にチェンジしたかったです。

スカイダイビング自体は最高でしたよ。
インストラクターの教育は強化した方がいいですね、こっちは命を任せているんですから。

Amazing! Saw 20+ sharks and got within inches of them. (90% were sand bar sharks with 2 hammerheads sprinkled in there). Definitely coming back!

My wife and I did this ride with our 2 kids ages 10 and 12. The ride was super easy with incredible views. The horses are super calm and barely move when getting on and off them. They are very well trained which makes the ride very pleasant and enjoyable. At times I felt like the horse just knew what to do with little instructions from me. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed the scenery of the mountains and the seemingly endless amount of open land which surrounded us as we walked through the trail. The trail included walking up and down beautiful hills, under and around shady trees, all at a pace which was relaxing yet exciting. I can't say enough about this establishment and would recommend any family to visit this ranch.

My husband and I and our 2 kids age 10 and 12 set out from k'Olina area to the ranch. I have to say the drive was amazing. Great views, beach pull off spots, food trucks and we also stopped off at a coffee farm on the way. Once at Gunstock Ranch the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The horses were incredibly trained and easy to ride. The horses were very very very calm and I would trust my 91 year old grandmother could ride them and be just fine. The place was very clean and the horses very well kept after. Hardly any bugs at all, although we did put bug spray on us before hand just incase. I saw beautiful butterflies during the ride on beautiful lush natural trees and bushes. Seriously the views looked like movie sets and later we learned filming was done there in the past. The ride was easy, smooth and very very enjoyable. The scenery was incredible. We rode so close to cows big ones and baby ones. They were very calm and I was happy to know the cattle ranch does not brand their cattle but tag them with numbers. The people at this ranch really do take care of the horses. It's extremely apparent the amazing caring hands these horses are in. You do not need any prior experience at all to do this excursion and I highly highly recommend them over any other ranch in the area. We have done family trail rides before but this one was the best! When we return to Oahu we will be back.

I can't speak English, but the funky guys really gathered around and played with me. It was so much fun even before jumping, and although there was a briefing, we just laughed through it! About six groups boarded the Cessna together, chatting and having a great time in the sky.

Arriving at over 4000 meters in short sleeves and shorts was quite chilly! But without a care, we dove! The free fall lasts about a minute, but it feels like only 20 seconds. It goes by in a flash. I had a cameraman with me to capture the video. I feel like I wanted to perform more. I think if you imagine it beforehand, you won't regret it. Once you jump, there's absolutely no fear. It's just fun and beautiful scenery. You really feel alive in the sky. The landing is quite thrilling with its speed!

　英語ができないですが、ファンキーなお兄さん達が、寄ってたかって遊んでくれます。飛ぶ前からめちゃくちゃ楽しく、講習がありますが、それも笑ってるだけで終了！6組ほど一緒に、セスナに乗り込み、ワイワイしながら大空に。
　半袖、短パンで、上空4000ｍ以上に到着。出口を開けると、まー寒い！しかし、おかまいなしに、ダイブ！1分落下ですが、体感では、20秒ほどです。あっという間です。カメラマンをつけて動画を撮りました。もっとなんかパフォーマンスしたかった感が残ります。イメージしておくと後悔しないと思います。飛び降りれば、恐怖は、全くなし。只々、楽しく、美しい景色です。空に生きている気持ちになれます。着地は、中々、スリリングなスピードですよ！

Did the 14,000-15,000 feet with my wife and five friends. Worth every penny and would recommend to anyone

My family and I have been on several horseback riding tours, and this one was certainly one of the best. For one, the staff were great! They were very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel like we were in good hands.The horses were extremely sweet and well-trained too. Additionally, the actual ranch where the riding took place was absolutely beautiful! We saw everything from a rare cave, to an amazing view of the ocean, which made for a bunch of great photo opportunities. I would definitely recommend horseback riding at Gunstock Ranch to anyone in Oahu looking for a change of pace from the typical beach scene of Hawaii.
