All Reviews for North Shore Tours & Things To Do

I chose this tour because I wanted to go horseback riding and I also like the North Shore. Since it was my first time riding, I was nervous until I got used to it, but the time spent riding a lovely horse while looking at the beautiful sea was truly healing. I was satisfied with the free time in Haleiwa, as I was able to visit the shops I wanted to go to.

What was disappointing was that there were not only horseback riders but also other people, which made it a bit hectic to find time for things like searching for pineapples and sea turtles, and even bathroom breaks felt rushed due to time constraints. I wish I could have taken it a bit slower... However, horseback riding was really great, so I had a valuable experience.

乗馬がしたくて、ノースも好きなので このツアーを選びました。初乗馬だったので 乗り慣れるまでは
緊張しましたが、キレイな海を見ながら 可愛らしい馬に乗っている時間は本当に癒されました。
ハレイワの街での自由時間は 行きたいお店にも行けたので満足です。
残念だったのは、乗馬の人だけではなく違う人たちもいらっしゃったので、時間を合わすために ドールやウミガメを探す時間、トイレ休憩さえもバタバタと慌ただしく時間制限があったことです。
もう少しゆっくりしたかったな…
でも、乗馬は本当に良かったので貴重な体験ができました。

It was an experience from another dimension. When I was looking up from below, I could see the particles jumping out of the Cessna, and eventually, the parachutes opened, gliding gracefully through the air and landing smoothly. Young people (including girls) were shouting, "This is the best!" I thought that was how it would be, but when I took off in the Cessna and reached the height of the clouds, I thought that was it, only to rise even higher. It was no joke; the island became smaller, and it felt like I was about to jump into the sea.

The moment I began to jump, it was an experience that transcended life and death, a dimension beyond. In just a few seconds, I experienced an exhilarating arching of my body, raising my hands, feeling like I was getting an air massage. I signaled to the instructor that I was feeling great with an "Aloha" gesture. The intensity of free fall was incredible (it felt like several minutes), and when the parachute opened, there was a jolt to my body. After that, the instructor spun us around, showing us the magnificent scenery.

When we landed, I shook hands with the instructor, expressing my gratitude for such a wonderful experience, saying "Very good." Thank you. I was truly moved.

異次元の体験でした。
下から見ているときは、セスナ機から飛び降りる粒が見えて、やがて
パラシュートが開き楽しそうに空中遊泳し滑るように着地する。
これ最高と叫ぶ若い人たち（ギャルも）
そんなものだろうと思っていたが、
セスナ機で飛び立ち、雲の高さまできて、そんなものだろうと思っていたら
その倍上に上がる、冗談、島は小さくなるし、海に飛び降りる感じ
コンマなん秒かの飛び降り初め、生死を超えた異次元の体験
コンマ数秒の体験そしてエビぞり、手をあげる、エア－マッサージ
手をアロハして元気だとインストラクターに伝える。自由落下のすさまじさ
を体験（数分に感じた）、パラシュウトを開き身体にドンという衝撃
後はインストラクタ－があちこち回転して、すばらしい風景を見せてくれました。
地上に降りてこんな素晴らしい体験をさせてくれた、インストラクターと
ベリ－グッドと言い握手しました。ありがとうございました。感動しました。

On Saturday, October 8, 2016, my daughter and I challenged ourselves to horseback riding at Gunstock Ranch. We took the number 55 bus from the Ala Moana bus stop, heading straight to Gunstock Ranch.

The number 55 bus, which connects Ala Moana and Haleiwa on the North Shore, runs along the east coast of Oahu via downtown, allowing us to enjoy beautiful views of Kaneohe Bay and local beaches from the bus window.

Upon arrival, we signed a waiver given to us by a female staff member, stored our belongings, and got ready for horseback riding. We set off in a line of six, led by a handsome cowboy. It was smaller and less crowded than Kualoa Ranch.

The spacious ranch, blue sky, white clouds, and the deep blue sea stretching below— the scenery from horseback was breathtakingly beautiful! Since it was my first time riding, I was a bit scared at first, but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed the beautiful views and interaction with the animals.

For those with horseback riding experience, it might feel a bit lacking, but since the pace is leisurely, I think it’s just right for first-timers.

2016年10月8日土曜日、gunstockranchで娘と二人で、乗馬にチャレンジしました。アラモアナのバス停から55番バスに乗り、一路gunstock ranchへ。
アラモアナとノースショアのハレイワを結ぶ55番バスは、ダウンタウンを経由してオアフ島の東海岸沿いを走り、車窓からは美しいカネオヘ湾やローカルビーチの絶景を楽しむことができました。
到着すると女性スタッフに渡された誓約書にサインし、荷物を預けていざ乗馬。イケメンのカウボーイを先頭に6人の隊列で出発。クアロアランチよりもこじんまりとしていて、参加する人も少数でした。
広々とした牧場、青い空、白い雲、眼下に広がる紺碧の海ー。馬上から見る景色はこの世のものとは思えない美しさでした！初めての乗馬だったので、乗る時は少し怖かったのですが、すぐに慣れ、美しい景色と動物との触れ合いを楽しみました。
乗馬経験のある人には少し物足りないのかもしれませんが、のんびりと進んでいくので、初体験の方々にはちょうどいい内容なのではないかと思います。

The breathtaking views and thrills were incredible! I'm glad I could experience such an extraordinary and valuable adventure! Definitely try flying in Hawaii! ٩( ᐛ )و

絶景とスリルが半端なかったです！
非日常的で貴重な体験を経験できよかったです！
是非Hawaiiで飛んでみて下さい٩( ᐛ )و

The Dole Plantation, Turtle Beach, Haleiwa Town, and horseback riding along the coast made for a very packed itinerary. I also enjoyed the experience of cracking open and eating fresh macadamia nuts at the macadamia nut farm, which you mentioned could only be visited when there was time. I wish we could have spent a bit more time in Haleiwa Town, as we only had time for lunch. I would have liked to have extended the time, even if it meant starting our meeting a bit earlier! Horseback riding by the sea was very pleasant, and I’m glad I participated.

ドールプランテーションに、ウミガメビーチ、ハレイワタウン、海沿いの乗馬、と、とても盛りだくさんの内容でした。
時間がある時にしか寄れないと仰っていた、マカダミアナッツ農園で、生のマカデミアナッツを殻を割って食べる体験が出来たのも、楽しかったです。ハレイワタウンは、ランチを食べるだけで終わってしまったので、集合時間を早めてでも、もう少し長く時間をとっていただきたかったです！海辺の乗馬はとても気持ちがよく、参加して良かったです。

It was my first skydiving experience. There were explanations and consent forms in Japanese, so I had no anxiety at all. The tandem crew member was a cheerful and handsome guy. He eased my pre-jump jitters, but still provided thorough explanations and preparations, so I wasn't scared.

We ascended in a Cessna above the clouds, and the view of the beaches in Hawaii from there was amazing. Since the tandem instructor jumps with you, there’s no chance of being too scared to jump, and before I knew it, I was falling through the sky. As we descended over the ocean, it was just beautiful, and all my stress disappeared.

Once we were in parachute mode, we glided around, and the instructor kept it fun.

There’s a shuttle service from the hotel in Waikiki, which makes it very convenient. We gathered at the hotel at 10:05, and it took about an hour by car to get to the airfield near the beaches on the north side of Hawaii. I stored all my belongings in a $1 locker (four quarters; there’s a change machine), and the waiting time was about 30 minutes. After getting on the Cessna, we jumped down in about 30 minutes, and then waited about 30 minutes to an hour for the bus to depart. I returned to the hotel around 14:30 to 15:00.

For tips, I gave the shuttle driver $10 each way per person. For the tandem crew member, I wrote my name and put the tip in a bag to drop in the box, which was over $20.

Including tips, it was a total of $200, and this experience was a great value! I definitely want to do it again the next time I go to Hawaii. I highly recommend it.

By the way, the free Wi-Fi router provided had poor connectivity. Since it was free, I can't complain too much. I rented a paid Wi-Fi in Japan and shared the cost with a friend.

初スカイダイビングでした。
日本語のビデオ説明や同意書もあり、不安は全くありませんでした。
タンデムクルーの方は愉快でイケメンなお兄さん。飛ぶ前のドキドキを和らげてくれ、でもしっかり説明や準備をしてくれるので怖くなかったです。
セスナ機で雲の上までのぼり、そこから見るハワイのビーチの景色が最高です。

タンデムでお兄さんが降りてくれるので、ビビって飛べないってこともなく、気付いたら空の上を落ちている感じです。
海の上を降りていくので、ただただ綺麗で本当にストレス吹っ飛びます。
パラシュート状態になってからはぐるぐる滑空したりお兄さんが楽しませてくれます。

ワイキキのホテルから送迎があるのでとてもラクチンです。
10:05ホテルに集合して、ハワイ北側のビーチ近くの飛行場まで、車で1時間くらいです。
1ドルロッカー(クオーターコイン×4。両替機あり)に荷物を全て預けて、待ち時間30分くらいでした。
セスナ機乗ってから30分で降りて来てバス発車まで30分〜1時間くらい待ち、ホテルに戻ったのは大体14:30〜15:00くらいでした。

チップは送迎の運転手に往復1人10ドルずつ。
タンデムクルーのお兄さんには名前を書いて袋にチップを入れてポストに入れます。20ドル以上。

全部でチップいれて200ドルで、この体験はコスパ最高です！また次にハワイ行くときも必ずやりたいと思ってます。オススメです。

ちなみに無料特典のwifiルーターは接続はあまり良くなかったです。無料なので仕方ないです。
日本で有料のwifi借りて、友人と割り勘して使いました。

One of the best experience of my life !!! Amazing sharks & Incredible crew! Thank you very much for that! I will come back very very soon ;-)

On the second day of our stay in Hawaii, my spouse and I participated in this optional tour. At first, we were looking at various tours that would take us to many places, but since we didn't want to feel rushed (though we were a bit anxious since it was our first time), we decided on this free time plan to leisurely stroll through the streets.

That was the right choice! After visiting Dole's and Turtle Beach, we had about three hours of free time. We were able to explore the town from one end to the other, taking breaks along the way. Our driver, Tsugawa (I apologize if I got the name wrong!), was very kind and drove us to Macky's, which was a bit away from the meeting point. He helped us with ordering the garlic shrimp and provided wet wipes, making us feel comfortable during the tour.

Initially, I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be sunny without any issues. I would have given it five stars, but since we couldn't see the sea turtles basking (they were peeking out of the water), I’m giving it four stars this time, hoping to see them basking next time!

夫婦でハワイ滞在2日目にこちらのオプショナルツアーに参加させて戴きました。初めは他にも色々連れていってもらえるツアーを見ていたのですが、あまり時間に追われたくない２人(だけど初めてだからちょっと不安)ゆっくりと街並みを見ながら散策したくなったのでこちらのフリータイムプランに決めました。
これが正解♪ドールズ、海亀ビーチに行った後は３時間程のフリータイム。町の端から端までゆっくりと休憩を挟みながら散策することができました(^-^)ドライバーのツガワさん(名前間違っていたらすみません‼)はとても優しい方で、待ち合わせ場所から少し離れた場所にあるマッキーズまで車で連れていってくれて、ガーリックシュリンプの注文や案内、ウェットティッシュを持ってきてくださったりと安心してツアーに参加する事が出来ました(^-^)初め心配だった天気も問題なく晴天で、本当は☆５つなのですが、海亀さんの甲羅干しが見れなかったので(海から顔は出していましたｗ)次回甲羅干しを見れる様期待を込めて☆４つで!

Skydiving was something I had always wanted to try, and being able to do it in Hawaii felt like a dream! However, the wait time was a bit long, so I dozed off while waiting. When my name was called, there was a briefing about the position in the air, and I boarded a small plane with an enthusiastic instructor. I had to straddle something like a long bench and take off backward, which made me a little nervous thinking about falling! I didn't feel scared at all while on the ground, but when it was finally my turn, I felt a fear I had never experienced before in the few seconds before taking off. (laughs) From the moment we took off until the parachute opened, it was a strange sensation, and once the parachute opened, I enjoyed a leisurely stroll in the air while taking in the beautiful scenery of Hawaii. I am filled with gratitude for my parents who made this wonderful experience possible.

一度はやってみたかったスカイダイビングでしたが、それもハワイでできるなんて夢のようでした！
ただ待ち時間は少し長かったので、うとうとしながら待っていました。
名前が呼ばれると、空中での体勢についてレクチャーがあり、ノリノリのインストラクターと一緒に小型機に乗り込みました。
長椅子のようなものにまたがり後ろ向きに離陸する体勢だったので、落ちる落ちる！と少しびびりってしまいました。
地上にいる時は怖さは全く感じていなかったのですが、ついに自分の順番が来て、飛び立つまでの数秒はこれまでに感じたことのない怖さを感じました。笑
飛び立った瞬間からパラシュートが開くまでの間は不思議な感覚で、パラシュートが開くとハワイの素敵な景色を見ながらゆっくりと空中おさんぽが楽しめました。こんな幸せな体験をさせてくれた両親には感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。

I recommend this for first-time visitors to Hawaii. You can visit the "This is the tree, what tree?" Monkey Pod, Pineapple Park, sea turtle landings, horseback riding, and a macadamia nut processing factory, and drive along the coastline. The garlic shrimp I had for lunch was the best! The mildly seasoned shrimp were irresistible. Horseback riding truly showcases Hawaii's great nature! It's a moment that makes you feel like you're on an overseas trip.

初めてハワイへ来た人におすすめです。この～木なんの木♪モンキーパッド、パイナップルパーク、ウミガメの上陸、乗馬、マカダミアナッツ加工工場へ行き、海岸線をドライブできます。昼食に食べた、ガーリックシュリンプは最高！マイルドな味付けのエビは箸が止まりません。乗馬はこれぞハワイの大自然！海外旅行に来たと感じる瞬間です。

It's early in the morning, and we drive for an hour on the highway. Along the way, we are given a form to fill out, but it has seven pages, and I get really car sick (laughs). The guide was quite rushed, and we were hurried along. After getting ready, we listened to the explanation on how to land and waited for our turn. During that time, I watched the people who went before us come down. I wore a thin shirt, but the guide recommended that we wear as little as possible to fly, so I ended up in a T-shirt, which was quite cold (laughs). There were people flying in shorts and tank tops, but I think if you land on your backside or lose your balance, you would definitely scrape your thighs. After it was over, we could see the photos and videos taken of us right there. If you don't like them, you don't have to buy! I think it was around 30,000 yen for two still images and one video for me and my husband. Some people may ask for tips, but since they go to the next person's tandem, you don't give it directly to them. So I think you don't need to worry about that. It became a great memory.

朝早くて高速道路を1時間も走ります。途中記入必要な用紙を渡されますが7ページもあり車酔いがとんでもないです（笑）ガイドのおじさんにかなりせかされてバタバタと連れていかれました。準備ができてから着地の方法などの説明をきいて、自分たちの順番を待ちました。そのあいだ前に飛んだ人たちが降りてくるのをずっとみていました。うすでのシャツを着ていったのですがかなり強めにできるだけ薄着で飛んだほうが良いとガイドにすすめられTシャツで飛びましたがかなり寒かったです。（笑）ショートパンツやキャミソールで飛んでいる人もいましたがもししりもちをつきながらやバランスを保てなくて着地したときは絶対太ももをすりむくと思います。終わった後は自分が撮影された写真や動画などをその場で見ることができます。気に入らなけば購入しないでOK！静止画2本と動画1本主人と合わせて3万円いかないくらいだったと思います。チップは人によっては指定してくる人もいますが次の人のタンデムにいくので、本人に直接渡すわけではありません。だからきにしなくていいとおもいます。いい思い出になりました。

Horseback riding can be enjoyed all over the world, and I make sure to experience it wherever I travel. While most clubs typically offer just a basic riding experience, this one responded to our requests and allowed us to canter.

We chose the standard 60-minute course with our guide and the two of us, making a total of three people. At one point, my husband, who has only ridden three times, expressed his desire to try running a bit! The guide happily agreed and took us cantering through the hilly forest right away. After that, we cantered in a wide highland, enjoying an incredible riding experience that you can't find at other tourist riding clubs.

Since we cantered, we ended up with some extra time, so they took a longer route back, and the scenery along the way was absolutely stunning.

Not only was I thrilled that we could canter, but I was also impressed by how incredibly well-trained the horses were. I think many horses at riding clubs often disregard their riders, but the horses here were very responsive! With just a light touch of my legs, they would transition from a walk to a canter!

If you go to Hawaii, you definitely should stop by this place! The donkey was also super cute! The girl who took photos for us captured wonderful pictures, so I think it's a great idea to buy some as souvenirs!

乗馬は世界中で楽しめるので、旅行先では必ず体験しています。
ほとんどのクラブが体験乗馬で終わる事が多いなか、こちらはリクエストに応えて駈足を出してくれました。

ガイドさんと私達２名、計３名で通常の６０分コースを選択。
途中、３度しか乗馬経験のない主人が少し走ってみたい！とリクエストしたところ、ガイドの女の子は清くＯＫしてくれ起伏のある森の中をすぐに駈足してくれました。
その後も広い高原に出て駈足をしたり、他の観光乗馬クラブでは体験出来ないような素晴らしい乗馬をさせて頂きました。

駈足をしたせいで時間が余ってしまったということで、遠回りをして帰ってくれたのですがその途中の景色がとても素晴らしかったです。

今回駈足ができたこともさることながら、馬が驚くほど素晴らしく調教されていることに感動しました。どこの乗馬クラブの馬も大抵乗り役を馬鹿にして反応しないことが多いと思いますが、こちらのお馬さんはとっっっても反応が良いです！！足が触れるくらいの扶助で並足→駈足が出ます！

ハワイに行ったら絶対立ち寄って欲しいです♪
ロバもとっても可愛かった～♪
カメラマンの女の子が素晴らしい写真を撮ってくれるので思い出に買うのも良いと思います！

We had a wonderful time horseback riding on the beach. We enjoyed lovely conversation with fellow attendees and wranglers. Shelby and Alex made this experience one to remember.

This was my second time participating. The instructor Tony was so handsome, it made my heart race, haha.
The view of Oahu from above was absolutely stunning, and I truly felt it was worth participating. I made wonderful memories. Thank you very much!

Mahalo~☆

今回二度目の参加でした。インストラクターのTonyがイケメンでドキドキしました　笑
もう、上空から見渡すオアフ島はあまりにも絶景で、参加して良かったと心から思いました。素敵な思い出が出来ました。ありがとうございました☆

Mahalo～☆

The scenery was beautiful with both the sea and the mountains, and it felt great. There were about ten people in our group, but everyone else was foreign. I didn't fully understand the explanations of the precautions since they were only in English, but I was still able to enjoy myself! Mahalo!

海に山にとても景色が良く気持ち良かったです。
10人ほどのグループでしたが、我々以外は全員外国人でした。
注意事項の説明も英語のみでよく分かりませんでしたが、楽しむ事は出来ました！
mahalo！

Thus was an amazing sight, we saw so many sharks, the staff was wonderful. I would highly recommend this.

I went skydiving for the first time in Guam and had an amazing time, so I decided to jump again on this trip. After reading various experiences, I was prepared for a long wait, so I brought a paperback book with me.

First, I was picked up at the hotel and rode the bus for about an hour to the skydiving company (it's located in the North Shore area). On the bus, I had to fill out a lot of contracts, writing my initials repeatedly, which was quite tedious (typical of the lawsuit-happy United States!). Then, we watched a video about the safety instructions for the dive.

Upon arriving at the company, everything was explained in English, including the process, and I submitted the contracts and my ID for registration. After that, the instructor briefly went over the safety instructions we had seen in the video, all in English (it was really a simple explanation).

There was only one group ahead of ours, but the weather was great on the day I participated, with almost no wind, so we were able to get ready and jump right away.

The weather was beautiful, and the sky and sea in Hawaii were incredibly clear!!! It might have been clearer than in Guam. Since we jumped around 7 AM, it was much more beautiful than during the day. The view was breathtaking!!!

However, there were two things that I found puzzling.

First, despite paying a high price, they also asked for a tip. By the way, tipping wasn't required in Guam.

Second, when diving, a photographer jumps with you. However, some instructors wear wrist cameras. If you get one of those instructors, they will take photos up close and capture everything from start to finish. If the instructor doesn't have a wrist camera, the photographer will take pictures from the outside, which means they only capture the moments when you start jumping, during free fall, and when you land. I had the outside shooting.

After the dive, you can decide whether to buy the footage. You can choose just photos, just videos, or a combo, which is flexible. What surprised me was that the wrist camera option, which definitely takes better pictures, was cheaper than the outside shots! Why??? The outside images were rough, yet they were more expensive! The price for the combo was $230!!! I was shocked. The wrist camera combo was around $170. Either way, I thought it was expensive! I bought a CDR in Guam for about 5000 yen with beautiful images.

I hesitated about whether to buy the footage, but I decided to get it as a memory... How much are they trying to charge? It's just a USB with the images on it...

The dive itself was fantastic, but everything else felt a bit off.

以前グアムで初めてスカイダイビングをして、超楽しかったので今回の旅行でも飛ぼうと決めてました。
体験談を見ていると、待ち時間が長いという内容が多かったので、文庫本も持参し、長い時間待ちを覚悟してました。
まずホテルでピックアップしてもらって、約1時間バスに揺られて催行会社に向かいます(場所的にはノースシュアの方です)。バスの中では嫌になるぐらいたくさんイニシャルを書かなくてはいけない契約書を書かされます。(さすが裁判大国アメリカ！！)
そしてダイブの時の注意事項をビデオで見せられます。
催行会社に到着すると、簡単に流れ的な事を全て英語で説明されて、バスで書いた契約書と身分証明書を提出して受付します。
その後はバスの中で見たビデオの注意事項を再度インストラクターの人が簡単に教えてくれます。これも全部英語です。(ホントに簡単な説明です)

私達のバスのグループの前に一組だけグループがいましたが、私が参加した日は、天候も良く、風もほぼなかったので、即スタンバイして飛ぶ事が出来ました。

天気も良かったので、ハワイの空と海がめちゃくちゃキレイでした！！！グアムよりキレかったかも。
そして朝7時頃に飛んだので、昼間より何倍もキレイでした。最高の景色でした！！！

しかし、私的に？？？と思った事が2つ。
1つは高いお金払ってるのに、その上にチップを請求されます。ちなみにグアムではチップは要りませんでした。
２つ目はダイブする時にカメラマンも一緒に飛びます。でもインストラクターによって、リストカメラを付けている人もいます。
その人に当たれば間近で写真を撮ってくれるし、最初から最後まで撮ってくれます。リストカメラを付けていないインストラクターだと、一緒に飛ぶカメラマンが撮ってくれますが、アウトサイドからの撮影になるので飛び始め、フリーフォールの間、着地した時だけの撮影になります。
ちなみに私はアウトサイドからの撮影でした。
ダイブが終わった後、撮影した映像を見て買うか買わないか決めれます。
写真だけでもいいし、動画だけでもいいし、コンボで買ってもいいし、これも自由に選べます。ここでびっくりしたのが、リストカメラの方が確実にキレイに撮れているのにアウトサイドからの撮影の方が高いんです！！！！何で？？？
アウトサイドからの画像は雑です。なのに高い！！
雑な画像なくせにかなりのお値段です。コンボで230ドル！！！！びっくりですよ。
リストカメラの方はコンボで170ドルだったかなぁ。どっちにしても高っ！！！！って思いました。
グアムでもCDRを買いましたがキレイな画像で5000円くらいだったと思います。
買うかどうか迷いましたが、一応思い出と言うことで買いましたが。。。。
どんだけぼったくるんでしょう？たかがUSBに画像を入れてくれるだけなのに。。。

ダイブは最高でしたが、その他諸々は？？？って感じでした。

Our beach front and trail ride was outstanding. Our guide, Monique, was very nice and made our ride really enjoyable. It was much more than we expected...the views, the weather, the scenery and the horses were all above par! I would recommend this for anyone. Don't let the casual appearance at check in worry you...it's all part of the charm.

First part of the trip was informative and somewhat interesting. Half way through we stopped for lunch at the Kualoa Ranch ,food was not bad. Then after the lunch break the trip became very boring. Drove along the north shore of the island for well over an hour without stopping to view anything. We then turned inland heading to the Dole Plantation which took another 1/2 an hour plus. Stopped at the plantation for 15 minutes to buy gifts or have a Dole ice cream??. Then it was off to home sweet home. Our Driver Leo was very cordial and informative and generally helpful with the boredom. This tour should at best last the first part of the trip and head back. Sorry

Glad I decided to do this, it was awesome!!! Best activity on the North Shore!! Saw a ton of sharks, well worth the seasickness I got after. Staff was great and very helpful!! I would recommend this to anyone and can't wait to do it again!

hi its was an excellent tour, the guide was knowledgeable, helpful food was good a great day

A trip to Hawaii for our silver wedding anniversary!
Our eldest son is getting married soon. This is the last trip for our family of five.
We all boarded the Cessna together.
Excitement and nervousness filled the air. Inside the plane, we were high-energy with the instructor. Go!!
It felt absolutely amazing. It was the best!! We could see Oahu clearly.
This view has become an unforgettable sight for a lifetime.

銀婚式旅行で、ハワイ旅行！
長男も、もうじき、結婚。家族5人の最後の旅行。
5人全員一緒のセスナ機に、乗り込み。
ワクワク、ドキドキ。飛行機の中は、インストラクターと、一緒に、ハイテンション。ゴー！！
めちゃくちゃ、気持ち、よかったです。最高！！でした。オワフ島が、しっかり見えました。
この景色は、一生、忘れない景色となりました。

I participated first thing in the morning!
I checked out using the tablet at the reception.
Including ourselves, there were three groups of nine people and three instructors.
Everything was explained in English, but they also used gestures, so it was enjoyable.
You can take photos, but the number is limited.
Also, it might be a bit pricey at $15 for one photo and $30 for three (laughs).
Purchasing is optional, so if you find something you like, definitely go for it.
The buggies along the way were thrilling and fun!

朝一で参加してきました！
受付にあるタブレットからチェックアウトします。
自分たちを含めて3組9人とインストラクターさん3人とまわりました。
すべて英語でも説明ですが、ジェスチャーも加えて説明してくれますので
楽しく行えました。
写真も撮っていただけますが、枚数は少な目です。
また1枚15ドル、3枚で30ドルとちょっとお高めかも(笑)
購入は自由なので気に入るものがありましたら是非。
途中のバギーも迫力があり楽しかったです！

Its a must do at least, it will leave you wanting to go again, professional staff and quality pics, and videos. I would give this a 5 star rating.

Great time lots of sharks. Water can be choppy ...I swam with the sharks and my wife fed them unintentionally If you know what I mean. Take meds for motion 4 sure

First time ever swimming with sharks and it was definitely one of the coolest experiences of my life. Naturally, I was pretty nervous but the moment I stepped on the boat and met the owner/boat captain and his two employees I was immediately put at ease. They are all local guys who are extremely knowledgeable about sharks, told us what to expect, and gave very specific instructions. The owner said he has been doing this for 30 years. Plus, they were very kind and personable which added to the experience.The safety swimmer gets in the water before you and is with you the entire time. He will hold your hand if you are nervous. Sharks are misunderstood creatures so put your preconceived notions and fears about them aside and go on this adventure! You won't regret it!

My first skydiving experience was a bit worrisome because it was raining in the morning, but by around 9 AM, the skies cleared up and I started to see blue skies. By the time I jumped, it was the best condition with a rainbow appearing. It's really wonderful to see a rainbow from above the clouds.

Meeting at 5 AM was a bit tough, but it was worth it to get up early.

When we arrived, we received an explanation, but there were no Japanese-speaking staff, so the explanation ended without much understanding. Later, I managed to find a Japanese-speaking grandfather who was with another group and asked him for a full explanation from the beginning.

Upon arrival, we were prompted to store our belongings in lockers, but since there’s no guarantee that you can jump right away, I recommend keeping your belongings with you until your name is called.

The photos were quite pricey, as everyone mentioned, but I’m glad I got them. You can choose between having a photographer jump with you or using a self-camera.

人生初のスカイダイビングは朝から雨が降ってて少し心配ですが、9時過ぎ頃には晴れて青空が見え始め私が飛ぶ頃には虹が出ているベストコンディションでした。
空の上から虹が見れるなんてとても素敵ですね。

朝5時集合で少し早起きがしんどかったけど頑張って起きただけありました。

付いて説明を受けるのですが、日本語スタッフがおらずよくわからないまま説明終了。後から別団体を連れてきた日本語をしゃべれるおじいちゃんを捕まえて一から説明をお願いしました。

付いたらロッカーに荷物を預けるように促されるのですが、すぐに飛べる保証がないので名前を呼ばれるまで荷物は各自で持っておくことをお勧めします。

写真も皆さん行っていた通りとてもいい値段でしたがつけてよかったです。写真はカメラマンをつけて一緒に飛ぶのとセルフカメラと2種類選べます

Swimming with sharks was incredible, unforgettable experience! Staff was very well educated and friendly. Time spent in the water was enough to see the sharks. Highly recommend it for anyone! Don't be scared, its completely safe.

Last time, I went diving in Guam and then in Hawaii. Due to the pickup arrangements, it took a bit too long; the pickup was at 5 AM, and we returned to the hotel around 1 PM. The diving was fun, but there was a difference in the instructors. (Well, I guess that's just human nature, haha.) I felt that the older instructor had a better sense of service. There was a Japanese-speaking driver present from start to finish, so there were no language issues.

　前回はグアムでダイビングしてのハワイのダイビング、ピックアップの関係で少々、時間かかりすぎ、朝五時ピックアップ、ホテル帰ったのが１３時頃でした。
ダイビングは楽しかったですが、インストラクターで差があり、（まあ人間なんでしょうがないですけど～　笑）少し年配のインストラクターの方がサービス精神が良かったように思えました。日本語を話せるピックアップの運転手さんが最初から最後まで居るので言葉には問題ありません。

Great ride! Fantastic view of the island! Pilot Margo was very informative and professional. I would recommend this tour!
