I feel like our time staying in the North Shore would've felt incomplete if not for getting to explore it with Aina, our personal local! We saw gorgeous places we likely never would've seen on our own, learned a surprising amount about O'ahu's history and culture in a casual way, got more familiar with the town and even returned to places on our own, enjoyed greeting Aina's friends and family along the way, got some great recommendations on where to eat, and that's just off the top of my head! Aina was very easy to be around, and his tour was a highlight of our stay. Mahalo!

It was interesting to travel in a comfortable bus. Our guide, Tony, was amazing and knowledgeable about everything, including history, even though he spoke only in English. It was also educational to feel how Americans convey their thoughts about Pearl Harbor and Japan. I'm really glad I participated.
Since Haleiwa is only about two hours, make sure to decide on what you want to do and which shops you want to visit, and then move quickly.
On weekends, the whole chicken place, Raise, is open in Haleiwa, so I recommend it for chicken lovers.
The roads were clear, and we returned to Waikiki before 3 PM. It was an early morning, but it was a meaningful use of time.
快適なバスで面白かったです。
英語のみだけど、歴史から全てに精通しているガイドさんTonyさん、最高でした。

I don't speak English at all. Due to scheduling, I booked an English tour, but Chris, our driver, spoke to us in Japanese, so there were no difficulties.
We were the only Japanese participants, but I was very grateful that he provided explanations in Japanese at key points.
The tour content was relaxed and enjoyable. I felt reassured that everything proceeded according to schedule.
I was informed that I could receive a discount at Dole, but the staff there didn't seem to notice? I later realized that I ended up shopping at the regular price. I think it's better to proactively remind them when shopping.
It got a bit long, but I was able to participate in the tour without worrying about not understanding English. Thank you, Chris!

It was an English-guided tour, but our driver, Chris, could speak Japanese as his grandparents were from Naha, Okinawa. The bus was a large one with a restroom in the back, but there were only four participants, including myself, which made it very comfortable.
On the way to Dole Plantation, we could enjoy sightseeing from the bus window, including the statue of King Kamehameha. At Dole Plantation, we had 90 minutes of free time, and in Haleiwa, we had just over two hours. It's nice to have the freedom to explore Haleiwa at my own pace and eat lunch wherever I like, rather than being on a tightly scheduled tour.
The meeting point was in front of Ross Dress for Less on Seaside Avenue, but on the way back, Chris dropped us off near our hotel. Thank you, Chris!
英語ガイドのツアーでしたが、ドライバーのクリスさんは祖父母の方が沖縄の那覇出身らしく日本語も話せました。後方にトイレも付いている大型のバスですが、当日の参加者は私も含めて4名だけ。とても快適でした。
ドールプランテーションまでの道中も、カメハメハ大王像などの観光を車窓からでき、ドールプランテーションでは90分、ハレイワの町では2時間強のフリータイムがありました。キツキツの行くところが決まったツアーより、こういう自分のペースでハレイワの町を散策でき、ランチも好きなところで食べられるのはいいですね。
集合場所は、SeasideアベニューのRoss dress for lessの前でしたが、帰りはホテルの近くで降ろしてくれました。クリスさん、ありがとうございました!

I had a great time. The ocean was very beautiful and amazing! In the morning, I jumped off the diving rock (it was quite impressive), enjoyed snorkeling, and had a blast in the water. In the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding and strolled around Haleiwa a bit. I was able to play a lot throughout the day.
Everything was in English, so it might be difficult if you can't speak it at all, but the staff were very kind.

Out of 16 participants, we were the only two Japanese. On the bus, we introduced ourselves in English, and if you're proficient in English, you'll have a great time. The guide was kind, but we understood more than half of the content. In the morning activities, swimming was prohibited at the waterfall in the botanical garden due to lack of rain (the waterfall itself was dry and not flowing), so I recommend snorkeling. The kayaking was just under an hour on the river. The stops along the bus route included a coconut farm, a fruit stand (a roadside shop), and a shopping mall (single-story). We bought a papaya for $4 at the fruit stand (it was perfectly ripe and very delicious when we ate it at the hotel), and we had Matsumoto's shaved ice at the shopping mall. We had plenty of time and enjoyed ourselves.
参加者16人中、日本人は私たち2人だけ。バスでは英語で自己紹介をするなど、英語が堪能であれば十分楽しめます。ガイドさんは親切でしたが、私たちは半分以上内容を理解できませんでした。午前中のアクティビティーは、植物園の滝は雨不足で水泳禁止だったので(滝自体、枯れ枯れで流れていません)、シュノーケリングをお勧めします。カヤックは川で1時間弱。バスの途中立ち寄り場所は、ココナッツ農園、フルーツスタンド(道路脇の売店)、ショッピングモール(平屋)でした。フルーツスタンドでパパイアを1個$4で買い(ホテルで食べたら、食べごろでとてもおいしかったです)、ショッピングモールでマツモトのかき氷を食べました。時間的には余裕があり楽しめました。
I believe that if your English and communication skills are high, your satisfaction will greatly increase.

Among the many tours available, I chose this one because it focuses on two locations and ends early in the afternoon, which was very appealing. In the end, it was a great decision.
Our driver, Lola, was very friendly and provided various information during the ride. She spoke very clear English, so even those who are not familiar with the language can participate without any issues. She also clearly communicated the return times to the bus, which was reassuring.
Before heading to the Dole Plantation, we had a sightseeing stop in downtown and visited the King Kamehameha statue. During the ride, we were offered malasadas from Kamehameha Bakery and water, which were delicious.
We arrived at Dole before it opened, and Lola accompanied us to the ticket booth. We were the first to ride the Pineapple Express train.
Additionally, since Royal Star Hawaii was the organizer, they informed us that by showing our tour guest sticker, we could get one free topping for the pineapple ice and a 25% discount on shopping at the Dole Plantation, which was a great deal.
Later, on the North Shore, Lola recommended some great shops, and I really appreciated her generous service.
During our trip, the bus stopped at Haleiwa Town Center, making it very convenient to visit places like Surf & Sea, Alii Beach Park, and Camaron Shrimp Truck.
On the way back, she continued to provide sightseeing information and safely drove us back to our hotel. The tour ended around 3:00 PM, so we were able to enjoy it without getting tired.
盛りだくさんのツアーがあるなかで、このツアーは2か所に絞って午後の早い時間に終わるのが魅力で申し込みました。結果、大正解でした。
ドライバーさんのローラさん(Lola)はとてもフレンドリーで車内で色々と案内してくれました。また、とても聞き取りやすい英語を話してくださるので英語が不慣れな方でも参加問題ありません。バスに戻りの時間もはっきりと教えてくれるので、安心できます。
ドール園に向かう前に、ダウンタウン観光やカメハメハ大王像での降りての観光がありました。車中では「カメハメハ・ベーカリー」マラサダとお水を提供してくれ、美味しくいただきました。
ドールでは開園前に到着しチケット売り場までローラさんが付いてきてくださいました。そして一番にパイナップルトレインに乗ることができました。
また、ロイヤルスター観光が主催者だったのですが、ツアー客のステッカーを提示するとパイナップルアイスのトッピングがどれでも一つ無料になる事やドール園でのお買い物が25%オフになることを教えてくれたのでとてもお得になりました。
その後のノースショアではお勧めのお店を紹介してくれたりとサービス精神豊富なローラさんに感謝です。
私たちの時はバスをハレイワタウンセンターに停めたので、サーフ&シー、アリイ・ビーチパーク、Camaron Shrimp Truckなどの行くのにとても便利でした。

I searched for a tour to the Nu'uanu Pali Lookout to experience the strong winds and scenery that surprised me during my honeymoon 26 years ago, but I could only find this one, which was in English, so I signed up.
The Nu'uanu Pali Lookout was still as windy as ever. It brought back memories, and I was overwhelmed with emotion.
The Byodoin Temple looked a bit shabby to someone who knows the real one in Uji, Kyoto, but its presence standing in the tropical rainforest was interesting in its own way.
I should have done proper research on which shops to aim for in Haleiwa Town. However, even with a spontaneous approach, I managed to encounter unexpected deliciousness and fun.
When I ordered soft serve ice cream at the Dole Plantation, the portion was so large that even my husband and I couldn't finish it. An American elderly couple sitting at the same table was struggling with it too. The pineapple flavor was incredibly delicious.
I only passed through downtown, but since it’s a business district, it seemed completely deserted on Saturday.
Returning to Waikiki and reflecting on the journey, I felt the "smallness" of Oahu. This is the Hawaiian Islands, needless to say.

They came to pick us up near the hotel as scheduled. There were four groups on the bus, and we were the only Japanese. During the ride, the driver shared information about Hawaii's history in English.
After arriving at Dole, we had malasadas and mineral water for breakfast. The driver also explained how to buy tickets and recommended food options.
After the Dole experience, we went to the North Shore. Although we couldn't go to the famous sign, the driver introduced us to notable spots before parking, and then we had free time. We could stop by Matsumoto Shave Ice, garlic shrimp, Patagonia, and more.
On the way back, we visited famous spots around Waikiki, like King Kamehameha, while the driver provided commentary as we headed towards Waikiki. We were able to give a tip comfortably.
予定通りホテル近くに迎えに来てくれました。バスの中には4組、日本人は私たちだけでした。道中は運転手の方が英語でハワイの歴史について教えてくれます。
ドール到着後は、朝ごはんとしてマラサダとミネラルウォーターをいただきました。
チケットの買い方やおすすめのフードも運転手さんが教えてくれます。
ドール体験後は、ノースショアに行きました。有名な看板へは行けないですが、運転手さんが駐車場に停める前に有名どころを紹介してくれ、以降は自由行動。マツモトシェーブアイスやガーリックシュリンプ、パタゴニアなどに立ち寄ることができます。
帰りには、カメハメハ大王などワイキキ周辺の有名スポットに立ち寄り、車内から解説しながらワイキキに向かってくれました。気持ちよくチップもお渡しすることができました。
I think it would be good if there were people who understand simple English. It would be tough if no one understands. At the park, there are three types of tickets: for the train, garden stroll, and m
簡単な英語でもわかる方がいると良いと思います。全員がわからないと厳しいです。ドールでは、列車とガーデン散策と迷路の3種類のチケットがあり、列車とガーデン散策を購入しましたが列車のみで十分でした。

We were picked up right on time from the Marriott Waikīkī, and the entire shuttle experience was absolutely top-notch. Our driver and guide, Masa, was a true delight—friendly, flexible, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. The shuttle itself was clean, smooth, and very comfortable, making for a relaxing ride.
What really made the experience stand out was Masa’s personal touch. He took the time to learn each of our names and offered outstanding tips and advice that really enriched our visit. It felt like more than just transportation—it was a warm, welcoming experience.
10 out of 10. I’d absolutely recommend this service and would happily ride with Masa again!

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon. There were about 20 participants, mostly from English-speaking countries, and many appeared to be older. At the meeting point, there were several tours departing for the same destination at the same time, so it was necessary to look for the bus I was supposed to board.
The explanations and guidance during the tour were only in English. However, the guide, Marlon, could also speak Japanese and often reached out to us. It was possible to ask simple questions individually.
The public restroom at the photo stop was not very clean, so I recommend using the bus restroom instead. The time spent at Byodoin Temple, the macadamia shop, and the Dole Plantation was just right. In North Shore, I was aiming for the Patagonia and Snoopy shops, as well as Matsumoto Shave Ice. The lunch portion was quite large, which took some time to eat, so we had to hurry a bit, but we managed to see everything. I recommend checking in advance the crowd levels and portion sizes for lunch. It was okay to eat Matsumoto Shave Ice on the bus as long as it didn't spill from the container, so I bought it at the end and finished it on the bus. The wait time was about 10 minutes.
The view from the bus window was very beautiful, offering a different landscape from Honolulu.
新婚旅行で参加しました。
参加者は20人ほど、私達以外は英語圏の方がほとんどで、高齢の方が多かった印象です。集合場所に同時刻発で同じ目的地のツアーが次々来ていたので自分が乗るバスを探す必要があります。
ツアー中の説明及びガイドは英語のみです。ただ、ガイドのMarlonさんは日本語も話せるので、よく声をかけてくださりました。個別に簡単な質問をすることは可能です。
途中の写真撮影スポットで停車した所の公衆トイレはあまりキレイではなかったのでバスのお手洗いを使用される方が良いかと思います。
平等院、マカダミアのショップやドールプランテーションは程良い滞在時間でした。ノースショアではパタゴニアとスヌーピーのショップ、マツモトシェイブアイスが目当てでした。お昼ご飯の量が多かったため食べるのに時間が掛かってしまい、少し急ぎめにはなりましたが、回り切ることができました。お昼ご飯は混み具合や提供される量を予め下調べしておくのがお勧めです。マツモトシェイブアイスは、器からこぼれない程度なら車内で食べても大丈夫とのことで、最後に購入して残りを車内で食べました。大体10分程度の待ち時間でした。
車窓からの眺めもとてもキレイでホノルルとは違った風景が楽しめました。
The scheduled arrival time was 16:00, but it was actually 16:30. Since the travel distance is long and can be affected by traffic conditions, I think it's better to allow some extra time for the next
到着時間はスケジュールでは16:00でしたが16:30でした。移動距離が長く道路の混み具合によって左右されると思うので、次の予定は余裕を持っておいた方が良いかと思います。

Our guide Lola was very friendly, and it was the best tour! Since it was an English-only tour, we were a bit worried about our ability to keep up with just everyday conversation. However, Lola, although she hardly spoke any Japanese, spoke slowly and clearly, making it easy to understand, and we had a great conversation.
She also guided us through the buildings and areas along the way, which was fun.
I thought Dole might be somewhat underwhelming, but it was actually very spacious and we enjoyed it a lot. The souvenir section is really large. Haleiwa had a completely different atmosphere from Waikiki, which was refreshing. There were so many places to eat that it was hard to choose, but the garlic shrimp was very delicious. We gave up on the long lines for shave ice and huli huli chicken. Instead, we went to Ali Beach and were thrilled to encounter a honu drying its shell!
ガイドのLolaがとても良く接してくれて、最高のツアーでした!
英語のみのツアーということで、日常会話程度ならなんとか…というレベルの我々は大丈夫かなと少し心配しながら参加しました。
しかし、確かにLolaは日本語はほとんど喋れないものの、ゆっくり聞き取りやすく話してくれて、会話も弾みました。
また、道中の建物やエリアなどもガイドしてくれて楽しかったです。
ドールは、なんとなくショボいのかなと思っていましたが、とても広く十分楽しめました。
お土産コーナーがすごく広いです。
ハレイワは、ワイキキとは全く違う雰囲気で新鮮でした。
食べる所が多く選ぶのに困りましたが、ガーリックシュリンプとても美味しかったです。
シェイブアイス、フリフリチキンは列が長かったので断念。
代わりにアリビーチまで行ってみたところ、甲羅乾かしているホヌに出会えて感動しました!
It's better for those who cannot speak English to refrain from going. The weather in the mountains can change easily, and especially in Dole, it seems to rain often.
英語が全く話せない人はやめたほうがいいです。
山は天気が代わりやすく、特にドールは雨が降りやすい気がする。
Thank you very much for participating in our Haleiwa Express & Dole Plantation tour as a couple. We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the English conversation. It was lucky that you encountered a honu as well. Our entire staff is honored to have been able to help you create wonderful memories in Hawaii. We look forward to welcoming you again.

Tony took us around the island, pointing out major attractions and narrating the entire time. We learned interesting facts about Hawaiian culture and some about the myths and legends. I enjoyed my time in Haliewa and finally got to try Matsumoto's shave ice - definitely worth the hype! Had a great time and Tony was a very gracious host!

My husband, who is learning English conversation, made his first trip to Hawaii! Although we chose an English tour, my husband's English skills couldn't keep up... However, thanks to our cheerful and fun tour guide and driver, Patrick, we had a wonderful time. He helped us purchase tickets for the Dole Plantation, and we were able to enter smoothly. At times, he even used a translation device to explain things, which was incredibly kind and impressive. We had plenty of time in Haleiwa Town, and I was able to finally enjoy authentic garlic shrimp, as well as buy some unique souvenirs and my favorite items!
英会話を習っている主人の腕試しでハワイに初上陸❣️
英語ツアーを選んだものの、主人の英会話力ではついていかれず…でも、ツアーガイド&ドライバーのパトリックさんの明るく楽しいガイドのおかげで、とっても素敵な時間を過ごせました。
ドール農園のチケット購入時も手伝っていただき無事に入園、時に、翻訳機能を利用して説明してくれたりと、本当に親切な対応で感激しました。
ハレイワタウンもたっぷり時間があって、念願の本場ガーリックシュリンプも食べれたし、珍しいお土産やお気に入りの品々を購入する事ができました❣️
The pineapple ice cream at Dole Plantation is in a BIG size, and it takes time to eat. We shared it between two people, and it took us about 10 minutes to finish.
ドール農園でのパイナップルアイスは、BIGサイズで、食べるのに時間がかかります2人でシェアしましたが、10分くらいかけて食べました。

This tour was great. Clean, smooth bus. Great choice of places to stop but the highlight of the tour was our guide Lola. She was so knowledgeable sharing all sorts of Hawaiian history and interesting bits. She was caring, funny and a super good driver. We’re very glad we chose this tour and we recommend it.
