I have always wanted to try skydiving, and during our honeymoon in Hawaii, my husband, who had experienced it before, and I participated in our first skydiving adventure.
On the shuttle bus, we ended up with a group of foreigners, and when we arrived at the site, the instructions were given separately from the Japanese group, which made it hard to understand as everything was in English. I felt anxious and dissatisfied until we jumped.
However, the skydiving experience was amazing! I had a great time flying high with the instructor, and the view was beautiful—absolutely the best! ☆☆☆
Once the parachute opened, I usually don’t get motion sickness, but I thought I might feel a bit dizzy when floating down, so it might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand.
以前からスカイダイビングをやりたくて、新婚旅行のハワイで、以前に体験した事のある旦那と私は初のスカイダイビングに参加。
送迎バスでは外人グループのバス?になり、現地に着いての説明も、日本人グループと離れており英語で説明されよくわからないまま飛ぶまでは不安と不満がありましたが、
スカイダイビングは、インストラクターの方とテンション高く楽しく飛べて、景色も綺麗で最高でした☆☆☆
パラシュートを開いてからは、私は酔わないタイプですが、フワッとした時に酔いそうだなと思ったので、酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が良いかもです。

Even though it was my first time horseback riding, I really enjoyed it and fell in love with horses. On the way back, we took a scenic route around the North Shore and had a great time sampling at the macadamia nut farm, which was very satisfying. The shrimp for lunch was also good.
乗馬も初めてでも、楽しく馬が好きになったよ。帰りはノースショアをぐるっと回って、マカデミアナッツファームで試食、試飲で大満足です。昼ごはんのシュリンプもグッドでした。

I have lived for nearly 60 years, and this was my first experience; it was wonderful. It didn't feel like falling from the sky, but rather like floating in the air. I felt as if I transcended everything, and my perspective on life might change. I highly recommend it to everyone who hasn't tried it yet. The staff was very kind and attentive to safety, so I had no worries at all.

After the early morning pickup, we filled out some paperwork in the car. We arrived first, and as we listened to the explanation, the sky began to brighten. Once the parachute opened, we had some fun spinning around, but I did feel a bit dizzy. It was an amazing experience to enjoy Hawaii from above. I had to wait quite a while because I purchased photos, but it seems that if you don't buy them, you can return to Waikiki relatively quickly.
朝早くのピックアップ後、車中では書類の記入がありました。一番に到着し、説明を聞いている間に空も明るくなってきました。パラシュートが開いてからは、くるくる回って下さったり楽しませて下さいましたが、少し酔ってしまいました。ハワイを上空から楽しむ事ができ、最高の体験でした。写真を購入したためかなり待ちましたが、購入されない場合は、わりと早い時間にワイキキまで戻れるようです。

I enjoyed it without any particular problems. However, the hotel departure was at 5:30 AM, which was too early for breakfast, and I ended up wasting the hotel meal coupon. I hope you can reconsider the departure time to avoid waste.
Additionally, this tour did not have an option for insurance, and all Japanese travel accident insurance was unavailable. There were other tours that offered insurance as an option, so it would be good to have that available as well.
特に問題なく楽しめました。ただ朝一はホテル出発が5:30と早く、朝食がとれずホテルのミールクーポンが 無断になりました。少し出発をずらせられれば無駄にする事もないので再考を望みます。
また、このツアーは保険加入のオプションがなく、日本の旅行傷害保険も全て加入が不可でした。他のツアーで保険加入がオプションで可能なものもありましたのでオプションで加入が出来る設定があると良いのでは?

After passing by Kualoa Ranch and driving for about 20 minutes, we saw a sign for "GUNSTOCK RANCH." It’s not very big, so we actually drove past it once, but as long as you don’t miss that sign, it’s easy to find.
On the day of our visit, it was just the two of us, so we enjoyed a leisurely hour of horseback riding with our guide, making a total of three of us in the peaceful ranch setting. The conversation was in English, but she was friendly and approachable. The horse was well-behaved and walked closely behind the guide’s horse, so there’s no need to worry even for beginners.
We enjoyed seeing cows and peacocks roaming freely, and there was even a cave along the way, which was fun. I’ve been to the famous Kualoa Ranch before, but I feel like at Gunstok Ranch, you can truly enjoy a full hour of horseback riding. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn’t see the ocean view below due to the cloudy weather that day. While I preferred the scenery at Kualoa Ranch, I was ultimately satisfied with the experience.
クアロア牧場を通り過ぎて20分ほど車を走らせると「GUNSTOCK RUNCH」とゆう看板が見えます。あまり大きくはないので一度通り過ぎてしまいましたが、それさえ見逃さなければ場所は分かりやすかったです。
当日は私たち2人だけだったので、ガイドさんと3人でのどかな牧場をゆったりと1時間乗馬を満喫出来ました。会話は英語のみでしたが、気軽に話しかけてくれて、優しい女性でした。馬もお利口さんだったので、ガイドさんの馬にぴったりとくっついて歩いてくれました。初心者でも全然心配いりません。
牛や孔雀が自由に歩き回っている光景を見たり、途中洞窟があったりと、楽しかったです。
有名なクアロア牧場も行ったことありますが、こちらの方が1時間きっかり乗馬を満喫できる気がします。当日の天気が曇りだったのもあるせいか、海が眼下に広がる風景が見られなかったのは残念でした。風景に関してはクアロア牧場の方が好きでしたが、結果的には満足です。

I participated because I wanted to go horseback riding by the beach. The morning pickup was at a reasonable time.
First, we received explanations about the flowers and trees along the way to H1 from Waikiki, as well as the school that President Obama attended. We arrived at the Dole Plantation, where we enjoyed pineapple soft serve, the farmers' market, souvenirs, and learned about the pineapple ecosystem. Next, we headed to Ali'i Beach Park.
There, we encountered a honu (sea turtle) basking on the sand. Then, we explored the town of Haleiwa. Here, we could enjoy Matsumoto Shave Ice and garlic shrimp food stalls, and we also spotted Patagonia's Hawaii limited edition goods.
After that, we went horseback riding along the beach at Turtle Bay Riding Club. We rode from a pine tree-lined path to the coast, feeling the sea breeze and splashes of waves as we headed toward the adjacent bay. From horseback, we were able to see luxurious and precious views, including locations used for movie filming as lakes, paths used in survival scenes in the forest, and a 200-year-old banyan tree.
Having a local guide made everything clearer, and the driver was well-informed about traffic conditions, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.
海辺乗馬をしたかったので参加しました。朝はピックアップも早すぎない時間でした。
まず、ワイキキからH1にでるまでに通り道にある花や木、オバマ大統領の通った学校などを車窓から説明を受け、ドールプランテーションに到着、パイナップルソフトやファーマーズマーケット、お土産、パイナップル生態系の見たりし、次はALI'I BEACH PARKです。
ここではHONU(ウミガメ)が砂浜に上がって甲羅干ししているのに遭遇。
そしてハレイワの街を散策します。
ここではマツモトシェイブやガーリックシュリンプ屋台などが食べられ、パタゴニアのHAWAII限定グッズ等も見かけます。
そしてタートルベイの乗馬クラブで海辺散策の乗馬をしました。
松の木の並木道から海岸に出て潮風と波の飛沫を感じながらの隣りのベイに向かって進むと映画の撮影で湖として使われた場所や、森をサバイバルしているシーンで使われた道や、200年の樹齢のバニアンツリーなど贅沢で貴重な景色を馬上から見ることが出来ました。
やはり現地ガイドをしていただけると判り易いですし、ドライバーさんは渋滞の情報などをしっかりご存じなので安心して堪能することができました。

I went on a honeymoon with my husband. The first time, the waves were too high, and it was canceled, but since we had a long stay, we rebooked and were able to participate the second time! During the first attempt, we were informed on the boat that it was canceled, which was disappointing. The staff tried to be considerate by throwing food from the boat, but my husband and I were whispering to each other that this wasn't what we expected and we couldn't be satisfied with that, laughing.
I often travel abroad, and I've noticed that for these kinds of optional tours, cancellations tend to be communicated at the last minute. I understand that weather and waves are natural factors, and sometimes you can only know at the last moment, but if we could be informed in advance, we could adjust our plans accordingly. I always think it would be great to know before arriving at the location to avoid wasting time.
Despite that, we had a great time because the staff at Veltra were very attentive, providing us with updates and advice, which made for a pleasant experience. The explanations were all in English, but I think you can manage by the atmosphere! The driver shared various information about the types of sharks during the bus ride, so if you can understand English, it might be enjoyable. I, on the other hand, couldn't catch much, so my husband translated for me the whole time.
Make sure to take motion sickness medication! Almost everyone else on the boat seemed to be struggling with seasickness. I took medication before and during the boat ride, so I was fine, but it really does rock a lot!
I also attached my GoPro to my wrist and took a lot of pictures! If you have an underwater camera, I recommend attaching a strap and securing it around your neck or wrist while diving.
It also depends on the driver, but the shuttle car was freezing! I think it's fine to wear a swimsuit on the way there, but please bring a simple change of clothes for the return trip! There is one restroom, but it's a small cabin-type toilet, so you can manage to change if you really try. It might be tough for those who are particular about cleanliness, but considering the freezing conditions on the way back, you can do it! It was so cold that I felt like I might catch a cold, and the drive from the North Shore to the hotel is quite long.
We saw a lot of sharks! Unfortunately, there was only one species, but seeing over ten of them was an experience I had never had before, and it was really exciting and fun!
In any case, make sure to have motion sickness medication, water, and a simple change of clothes! With just those, you'll be all set! I highly recommend this tour! Thank you so much, Veltra!

I have always wanted to try skydiving, but it was not affordable in Japan, so I had given up on it. This time, it truly became a wonderful memory! The price was cheaper than in Japan, and above all, it was in Hawaii, with a stunning view of the emerald green sea and mountains. I don't think there is any other skydiving experience with such great conditions! I would love to book it again the next time I go to Hawaii!
By the way, after opening the parachute, you will experience rapid descents and spins about 4 to 5 times before landing. I am not someone who gets easily motion sick (I don't get seasick), but I did feel a bit nauseous during that part, so I don't have great memories of the final video viewing (laughs). I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication beforehand.
以前からスカイダイビングはやってみたいと思っていましたが、日本では気軽にできる値段ではなく諦めていたので今回は本当にいい思い出になりました!値段も日本よりは安く、またなんといってもハワイで、エメラルドグリーンの海、山脈を一望できる、こんな条件のいいスカイダイビングは他にないと思います!!またハワイに行く時には予約したいです!
ちなみにですが、パラシュートを開いてから地上に降り立つのに急降下・急回転を4〜5回繰り返します。私は酔いやすい方(船酔いはしません)ではありませんが、そこで酔ってしまい最後のビデオ鑑賞はいい思い出がありません(笑)酔いやすい方は酔い止めを服用することオススメします。

To put it simply, I think you can do skydiving in various places, but the experience of free-falling for about a minute while enjoying the wonderful views of the North Shore, followed by a leisurely parachute descent for about 3 to 4 minutes, is something you can't get anywhere else. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Even though I am not a tourist and have lived in Honolulu for almost three years, the circle island tour with Polynesian Adventure Tours was amazing to say the least. I had already been to most of the places we visited on the tour, but on that day I saw the island in a different light. Nothing like learning about Hawaii from a native Hawaiian guide! He was a human encyclopedia of information and facts. Culture, history, flora, fauna, movie set locations—he knew it all.
What specifically impressed me is when our guide talked about Captain Cook’s death. Many sources say that this European sailor might have been eaten by the natives. Our guide shared, however, that Hawaiian people never practices cannibalism. After Cook’s death his body was treated the same way a body of a local chief would be treated—the flesh was burnt but the bones remained intact for further burial. So, upon requesting their captain’s body, Cook’s team was issued a bag of bones, which made them automatically assume he had been eaten.
I would highly recommend the circle island tour to anyone wanting to see Oahu’s beautiful nature and also learn more about its history and culture. This tour will definitely broaden your horizons. I am thankful I had the opportunity to go!

Without a question this is a 5 star experience. This is one of those moments in life you will never forget and will probably want to do again. The staff is very friendly and experienced and they have great respect for the ocean and its creatures. They gave us a safety briefing and explained what to expect with the sharks and what not do, first thing we heard was "keep all the negative associations with sharks at the shore, go in with an open mind".
We got to swim around Sandbar & Galapagos sharks ranging from 5-10 feet, absolutely mind blowing. Some of them were curious and came close to us! It was a little scared first, but the guide kept us safe during the whole time. While we were enjoying that magical moment another crew member took great pictures of the encounter.
Absolutely a must-do activity if you are in Hawaii. I would love to go out with the Islandview Hawaii crew again!

I signed up for a horseback riding experience in Hawaii for my honeymoon, something I had been interested in for a long time. I was really looking forward to it, but when it came time to ride, I felt a bit nervous. After all, once you get on the horse, you have to control it mostly by yourself.
However, that thought quickly faded. The well-trained horses (I rode one named Scarlet) followed the lead horse closely unless something unusual happened.
I enjoyed the various scenery, including grazing cattle, the ocean spread out below, and caves, while spending time with the free-spirited horses that occasionally grazed or shook their bodies. The hour flew by.
Although it was a short time, the horses moved differently depending on their personalities, creating a soothing experience that was different from just looking at the ocean.
A couple of points to note are access and clothing. First, regarding access: it's located away from Waikiki, so I think many people go by rental car. We headed there via the North Shore, but we encountered traffic near the beach along the way, which took longer than expected. I recommend allowing extra time for arrival.
As for clothing, there was a sudden rain during the experience. My husband and I were wearing long sleeves, so it didn't affect us much, but those in short sleeves looked a bit cold. This might be common for outdoor activities, but I think it's good to be prepared for changes in weather.
In any case, we had a wonderful time. I recommend this for anyone who wants to enjoy a side of Hawaii beyond just the beach.
ハネムーンでハワイへ、かねてから興味のあった乗馬体験に申し込みました。
大変楽しみにしていたのですが、いざ乗る時には少し緊張。何せ、馬にまたがったあとはほぼ、自分で馬をコントロールしなければなりません。
と、思ったのも束の間。
しっかり調教された馬(私はスカーレット、という子に乗りました)たち、よほどのことがない限り、
先頭のガイド馬に、ピッタリ着いて歩いてくれました。
放牧された牛たちや眼下に広がる海、洞窟などの様々な景色と、時折草を食べたり体を震わせたりする自由な馬との時間を楽しみながら、あっという間の1時間でした。
短い時間ではありましたが、それぞれの馬の性格によって動き方も変わり、海を眺めているのとは違った癒しの時間となりました。
注意ポイントは、アクセスと服装。
まず、アクセスについて。ワイキキから離れた場所にありますので、レンタカーで行かれる方が多いかと思います。私たちはノース経由で向かったのですが、途中のビーチ付近で渋滞が発生し、想定以上に移動に時間がかかりました。余裕を持った到着をお勧めします。
そして、服装。体験の最中に突然の雨。私たち夫婦は長袖着用だったのであまり影響を受けませんでしたが、一緒にコースを回っていた半袖の方が少し寒そうでした。屋外アクティビティでは当たり前のことかもしれませんが、天候の変化に対応できるようにしておくと良いと思います。
いずれにしても、とてもよい時間を過ごせました。ビーチだけではないハワイを楽しみたい方に、お勧めです。

I participated with a group of five women. Three of the women were on the Haleiwa sightseeing plan.
We had chosen to go horseback riding in the canyon, but unfortunately, it rained on the course beforehand, making it muddy, so it was canceled. The driver was concerned about the weather and called the horseback riding location, but since we didn't receive any notification from them, we went all the way to the riding spot. If we had known in advance, we could have avoided the car ride, which felt a bit wasteful. There was a possibility to switch to a coastal horseback riding plan if there had been availability, but unfortunately, it was fully booked that day, so we ended up with a refund.
At the Dole Plantation, we didn't have time to enter the maze. For the Haleiwa sightseeing, we were dropped off at the places we wanted to go. So, we got dropped off at the garlic shrimp place "Giovanni," which we wanted to try, and then walked to get some Huli Huli chicken. Both were quite delicious, so I recommend them to anyone going to Haleiwa, but if there is a regular horseback riding plan, time is limited, so it might be difficult to do both.
Additionally, although it wasn't part of the itinerary, perhaps because we couldn't go horseback riding due to the rain, we were taken to a soap factory. I apologize for writing about it even though they said, "This is a place we normally don't stop at, so keep it a secret!!" There were a lot of other tour guests, so we couldn't look around too slowly, but it was a place I wanted to visit, so I was glad we went. Next to it, there is also the Waialua Coffee Factory.
The driver was Japanese and shared various information while driving, which made the experience very enjoyable. Since he was speaking through a microphone, it might be tough for those who are not good at conversation... On the way back, he kindly suggested we rest since it was early in the morning and we must be tired, and he drove us close to the meeting point without talking, so everyone slept soundly on the way back.
Overall, I was satisfied, but since I was really looking forward to horseback riding, I lowered my rating a bit. I definitely want to go horseback riding next time!!!
女性5人グループで参加しました。
ハレイワ観光プランの方3名の女性と混載。
乗馬は渓谷を選択していたのですが、事前にコースに雨が降ってしまい、ぬかるんでいるので中止となりました。
ドライバーさんが天気を心配して乗馬の場所へ電話してくれていたのですが、先方から連絡がなかったため、乗馬の場所まで行ったので、事前にわかったら車移動しなくて済んだわけで、その分少しもったいなかったかなと。
海岸乗馬のプランに空きがあれば振り替えもあったそうですが、その日はあいにくいっぱいだったようで、返金という流れになりました。
ドールプランテーションは、迷路に入る時間はありません。
ハレイワ観光は、行きたい場所で下してくれました。
なので、食べたかったガーリックシュリンプのお店「ジョバンニ」でおろしてもらって、歩いて移動してフリフリチキンも食べました。
どちらもかなり美味しかったので、ハレイワ観光に行く方はおすすめですが、通常の乗馬プランがある場合は、時間が限られるため、どちらかに絞らないと難しいかなと思います。
その他、コース行程にはありませんでしたが、雨で乗馬ができなかったからか、ソープファクトリーにも立ち寄ってくださいました。
「本来寄らないところなのでナイショですよ!!」って言われたのに書いてごめんなさい(笑)
他のツアー客でごったがえしていて、あまりゆっくり見れなかったけど、行ってみたかったところなので、よかったです♪
隣にはワイアルアコーヒー ファクトリーもあります。
ドライバーさんは日本人の方で、運転しながら色々教えてくれたりして、とても楽しく過ごせました。
マイクを通してお話されていることもあり、お話が苦手な方にはつらいかな・・・
帰りは朝早かったから疲れているだろうからと、休んでください。と何もお話ししないで集合場所近くまで送っていただいたので、みんなぐっすり眠って帰りました。
トータルは満足ですが、乗馬をとっても楽しみにしていたので、その分★が下がりました。
次は絶対乗馬したいです!!!

I participated with two friends. As everyone mentioned in their reviews, it was an incredibly valuable experience! Joining was definitely the right decision.
The flow was as follows: hotel pickup → a lecture (in English) where they only played a video for about 30 minutes, which felt almost pointless → waiting time (about 2 hours? Free time on benches, so bring something to do or it can get boring) → called by name for preparation → boarding the plane → dive!! → tips are not given directly to the instructor but placed in a tip box → waited until everyone who came on the bus with us finished → returned home together.
The instructors had different approaches; out of the three of us, two got to control the parachute, and one of them even got to spin around!
友人2人と参加させて頂きました。感想はみなさんのレビュー通り、非常に貴重な経験をさせて頂きました☆参加して大正解でした。
流れとしては、ホテル迎え→講習(英語)でビデオを流すのみ…あってないようなもの30分→待機時間(2時間程?ベンチ等で自由時間…何か持っていかないと暇です)→名前をアナウンスで呼ばれて準備→飛行機乗り込み→ダイブ!!→チップはインストラクターに渡すのではなく、チップの箱に入れる→一緒にバスに乗ってきた方が終わるまで待機→みんなで帰路。
インストラクターの方によって対応が違い、3人中2人はパラシュートの操縦をさせて頂き、その内の1人はグルグル回って頂けたそうですww

Making a reservation was easy, and the pickup was smooth, allowing for an enjoyable diving experience. I watched an explanatory video in the car, but I think it would have been better if there was a Japanese explanation available.
予約も簡単に出来て、現地でもスムーズに、送迎してもらい楽しいダイビングができました。
車の中で説明ビデオ見たのですが日本語の説明がなったのであったほうが、いいと思います。

This was a very informative and fun day. Mandy was our guide and driver for the day. She was very knowledgeable and kept the day upbeat. We had time to stop to sea the turtles and actually got to see a large one on the beach! Great tour and the lunch was delicious!

It's quite different to see the Island from the sky.

This was an awesome experience. I had done the shark cage before, but I never thought that I'd be able to swim with the sharks without cage. I was a bit skeptical about the safety, but once I was in the water, I didn't feel threatened at all. It was just a calm and relaxing experience, and the sharks were not interested in humans at all. The sharks we saw were mostly Sandbar Sharks and Galapagos Sharks, and they only eat fish. They were more attracted to the sound/vibration of the boat engine. So the guide instructed us to stay away from the boat, and we stayed together as a group. We only have a group of 5 with 1 guide and 1 photographer in the water, so the experience was very intimate.
I highly recommend this activity to anyone, and really observe the sharks in their environment. Forget about Shark Weeks, Jaws, etc., and go see them with their own eyes so you can cure people's misconception about these beautiful creatures.
