Riding the atv is harder for people with weak arms as I am BUT we had a lot of fun especially when driving in the rally without speed limit ( you won’t be able to drive too fast of course with the bumps) and the boys enjoyed it so much! The part I like the most is when we got to the ocean side and see the breathtaking view there. Our tour guides also offered to take photos for us which was so nice. Plus there are a lot of farm animals in the ranch and you got to feed them if you like. Puppies and lambs are sooo cute!! Recommend it!!

My bf and I were looking to book an ATV experience and we were so glad we chose to do one at North Shore Stables!
We got there at exactly 9a. Our experience was scheduled for 9:45a. We filled out a liability waiver and got to hang out with the animals at the petting area. Before we started the experience, we were given a face mask (breathable ski mask essentially), a helmet and sunglasses for eye protection.
Then we were led to the ATV course. We had a guide leading the way and another guide behind us. I felt completely safe and the guides (Kai and Dawn) were so nice and helpful! There was another couple in our group so a total of 4 of us plus 2 guides. I loved that the group was small and we had enough time to go around the course a number of times. Afterwards, we went to the beach where Dawn took a bunch of photos for us. It was great! I can’t recommend this experience enough!!
You can also take horse riding lessons and go on a horse riding tour at North Shore Stables as well! We will have to check that out next time!

I went with my husband for this kayaking adventure. We are both very new to this so it was a bit hard at first. I think the hardest thing was understanding the map. However after a while it was great. The only down side is that is was windy and going back did take it out of us. However we did have so much fun at the sand bar. We weren’t able to go snorkeling because we we’re going to run out of time. So buy the 8 hours. It’s worth it

The dinner cruise is worth it. We had the crab legs, steak, and bbq chicken. The crab legs were a little small, but everything else was very tasty. I would recommend this activity and may do it again if I go back to Oahu. The entertainment was also great and enjoyable to watch. The staff on board was also friendly and attentive.

They divided the tables by nationality on the ship, and it was reassuring to have staff who could speak Japanese. There was live music, and the service of donuts and drinks was also nice. It was a bit disappointing that it was high tide that day, which was different from what I imagined, but the sea was very beautiful! I was able to experience snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking, and I had a fulfilling day.

At first, I was so focused on the unfamiliar horseback riding that I didn't have any room to relax, but gradually I was able to enjoy it. The canyon was, of course, beautiful, and the seaside views along the way were also amazing, allowing me to fully appreciate nature.

I joined a sandbar tour because I wanted to see the beautiful ocean. When the English guidance started, I was a bit worried, but they kindly explained everything again in Japanese. Finally, we arrived at the sandbar. It seemed like everyone was good at swimming, as it naturally led to snorkeling, and we all went into the water in our swimsuits. Since neither my husband nor I can swim, we waited in the shallow area of the sandbar, and the instructor brought a float for us to hold onto while pulling us towards the deeper water. Looking into the ocean, we saw so many beautiful fish swimming around, and a large turtle swam right underneath us. It was a truly magical experience. I am grateful to the instructor who gently guided us through the stunning ocean, making it the best memory of our 10-day trip to Hawaii.
素敵な海を見たくて参加したサンドバーのツアー。英語でのガイダンスが始まった時はどうしようかと思いましたが、ちゃんと日本語でも改めて説明してくれました。そしていよいよサンドバーに到着。皆さん泳ぎは得意なのか、当然のようにシュノーケリングをする流れになり、水着で海の中に。私たち夫婦は2人とも泳げないことから、サンドバーの浅瀬で待っていると、インストラクターの方が浮棒を持ってきて、掴まりながら深い海の方まで引っ張っていただきました。海の中を覗くと、とても綺麗な魚がたくさん泳いでいて、そして、大きな亀が真下を横切る。とても幻想的な時間が流れました。期待以上の美しい海の中を、優しく案内していただいたインストラクターの方に感謝。10日間のハワイ旅行の中で一番の思い出になりました。

First off, the employees there are very helpful and elaborate when explaining how the tour works. The views all around were absolutely beautiful, one of my favorite experiences during my Hawaii trip. The kayaking was definitely tiring, even though we only went around the closest nearby reefs and it wasn't a windy day. However, it was really cool to be able to anchor the kayak yourself and decide where you want to go. We were able to see lots of coral (even some new, colorful ones!), schools of fish, and 2 sea turtles! Overall, would definitely recommend this tour to others, and would like to come back one day.

My wife and I participated together. We checked the tide level of the sandbar in advance and chose a day with relatively shallow tides to plan our trip and tour schedule. The tide level when we participated was about 60 cm, allowing us to enjoy the atmosphere of the sandbar. Whether walking or swimming, it takes about 5 minutes to reach the sandbar area. Outside the sandbar area, the water gets deeper, and there are corals, where we went snorkeling. We encountered many beautiful fish and sea turtles. It was very moving to see a large sea turtle sleeping on the seabed and three smaller sea turtles swimming together. We were very satisfied and were able to fully enjoy ourselves for over an hour. The only downside was that the water was a bit murky.
We brought our own snorkels and fins. The tour provided snorkels, but it seemed they did not have fins available, as other participants were not using them. If you want to enjoy snorkeling seriously, I think it's best to check in advance whether they can provide fins.
The staff were all able to speak Japanese, and they were kind, cheerful, and very good.
妻と2人で参加しました。事前にサンドバーの潮位を確認して、比較的潮位が浅い日を選んで旅行とツアーの日程を決めました。参加したときの潮位は60cmくらいで、サンドバーの雰囲気を味わうことができました。ボートを降りて、歩いての移動でも、泳ぎながらの移動でも、5分くらいでサンドバーのエリアが終わります。サンドバーのエリアの外側は、深くなっていて、珊瑚もあり、この深いエリアでシュノーケリングをします。たくさんの綺麗なサカナやウミガメに会えました。大きなウミガメが水底で眠っているところや、小さめなウミガメが3匹で泳いでいるところなどが見られてとっても感動しました。私たちは大満足で、1時間以上、フルに楽しむことができました。唯一、水が濁っていたのが少し残念でした。
私たちは自前でシュノーケルとフィンを持って行きました。ツアーでもシュノーケルは貸していましたが、フィンは用意されていないようで、他の参加者はフィンを使っていませんでした。本格的にシュノーケリングを楽しみたい方は、フィンを貸してくれるかどうか、事前に確認した方が良いと思います。
スタッフの方々は、皆さん、日本語も話せて、親切で明るくて、とても良かったです。

We chose this buffet show because we had a coupon for a second person free. Although the limited seating on the second floor was a concern, it turned out that we were seated in the front row of the first floor A section, which was much closer than we had imagined, and it felt like a great deal! The fire show was performed by a child who looked to be in upper elementary school or around the first year of middle school, and we were pleasantly surprised and impressed during the photo session after the show. Additionally, the other shows, dances, and impersonations were well done, and the foreign guests sitting behind us were really excited during the "Thriller" performance! The atmosphere of the venue likely contributed to our enjoyable experience. If you sit in the back row of the section reserved for handshakes with the impersonators, it feels like a great deal. The food, especially the bread and desserts, was delicious and suited our tastes overall. For those celebrating their birthday, there was a ukulele performance of a celebratory song, and we enjoyed singing and dancing throughout the meal. While the show alone would have been great, it was also nice to observe the cultural differences in how to take and leave food in a buffet style!
2人目無料クーポンがあった為、2階席限定がネックだったが、このビュッフェ付きショーを選択。結果、私達のイメージする はるか遠い2階席ではなく、小さい会場の1階A席前列のイメージで、思ったより間近に感じ、お得感があった❣️ファイアーショーは、小学高学年❓中1❓位の子が演じており、ショウ終了後の写真撮影の時、あっと驚き感心しきりだった。また、他のショーや踊り、歌真似も上手く、私達の後部席の外人さん達がスリラーで大盛り上がり❗️会場毎の雰囲気にもよるだろうが、楽しく過ごせた❗️ソックリさんが握手する為に空けてある列の後部席に座ればお得感満載 食事は特にパン、デザートが美味しく全体的に口に合ってると思う。誕生日の方にはウクレレでお祝いの歌を、その他食事中も歌や踊りで楽しめた。ショーだけでも良いが、ビュッフェスタイルの食事の取り方、残し方の文化の相違を観察出来た事も良かった❗️

Amazing day even with the rain. Definitely coming back when it's sunny and low tide. Captain Robin and his team were super friendly, amazing and patient. Even with the rain there was plenty of fish and turtles to see. I'm not a strong swimmer and I need to touch the bottom (it's weird I know) but Captain Robin was so accomodating, calming, understanding and patient and took me out to the deep reef area on a floater device and I was able to see the fish and turtles. I'm glad he did and I'm glad he didn't push me when I tapped out early. True champion.
The vessel is clean and has plenty of snacks and hot and cold drinks if you don't want to take your own. You can take your own alcohol and they also have plenty of water toys, paddle boards, floatation devices in a seperate raft.
Make sure to bring cash to tip as they are definitely deserving of any gratuity and the experience is amazing as well. One I'll definitely do again when I'm back next time.
Thank you so much was a wonderful day.

I thought I might get seasick but to my surprise I did not. I think it was because my grandson and I ate a bland meal beforehand and do not drink coffee. Unfortunately, two of the passengers did get sick and went palu in the cage! Auwe! Overall a great experience and we'd do it again.
