All Reviews for North Shore Oahu

I was glad to meet at least two young Japanese people. The staff were very friendly and tried to understand Japanese. It was a bit of a hassle to input everything in English on the tablet during check-in, but it all worked out in the end. I'm glad I took on the challenge. I don't think I could have this kind of experience anywhere else.

日本人は少なくて2人組の日本の若者とお互い日本人に会えてよかったという感じでした。
でもスタッフの皆さんはすごくフレンドリーで日本語を解ろうとしてくれます。
チェックインの時に全て英語でタブレット入力するので手間取りましたが何とかなるものです。
挑戦してよかった。こんな体験は他では味わえないと思う。

The train at the Dole Plantation was more fun than I expected. It's best to go on it first, as time can run out quickly. There were cats everywhere, which was very soothing. I also saw small red pineapples, which was quite rare. I was satisfied to buy a cute T-shirt at the Patagonia store in Haleiwa. It's a shame that the garlic shrimp place (Camaron Shrimp Truck) seemed to be closed, so I couldn't eat there.

ドールプランテーションのトレインは思ってたより楽しかったです。最初に乗らないと時間が無くなってしまうので、最初に行くのが良いです。あちこちにネコがいて癒されました。小さい赤いパイナップルがあって珍しかったです。パタゴニアのハレイワ店でかわいいTシャツも買えて満足です。ガーリックシュリンプのお店（Camaron Shrimp Truck）がお休みだったみたいで食べることができなかったことが残念でした。

I couldn't communicate in Japanese, but I had a great time horseback riding even in the heavy rain! The people were very kind, and I felt safe riding. I want to try again on a nice day!

日本語は通じないですが、大雨でも楽しく乗馬ができました！とても優しい方々で、安心して乗れました！天気がいい日にリベンジしたい！

I received detailed information about various characteristics of different places! Even during the travel, I was provided with trivia and guidance, which made the travel time enjoyable and not boring!

各地様々な特徴など細かく教えて頂きました！
移動中も豆知識など案内頂き移動時間も飽きずに過ごせました！

Unfortunately, we had a few rain interruptions. Still, most of the tour seemed to drag. We couldn't see the plantation due to rain so we had a shopping tour. Driving along the coast there wasn't much to see. It was difficult to see beyond the trees along the road. The lunch stop venues were not very inviting. It seems this food truck area wasn't the best. I gathered that most of the people were disappointed.
I was able to take some photos at the blowhole stop. At Kualoa Park it was overcast and we only had about 10 minutes there. We had just enough time at the Macadamia stop to go into the store for a tasting and to buy things. It took 1-1/2 hours to get back to Waikiki. One couple brought their 3 year old child. He was screaming and crying for a good part of the tour. It might be an idea to limit long van/bus tours to children over 5 or so.

I joined the morning tour 😎. I caused some trouble along the way, but Masa-san helped me out 😅. During the trip, Masa-san provided explanations about the history along the route, which was very educational and enjoyable. The mini tour was also GOOD!

朝のツアーで参加😎色々トラブルで迷惑かけちゃったけどマサさんが対応してくれて助かった😅
道中もマサさんが通り沿いのヒストリー等を解説ガイドでとても学ばさせてくれて楽しかった。
ミニツアーもGOOD

The bus tour was reassuring because the guide spoke Japanese. In fact, the day before this bus tour, I participated in a tour with another company, but the driver couldn't speak Japanese and provided the guidance in English, which made it difficult for me to understand, so I was a bit disappointed (even though it was a tour aimed at Japanese people).

For this tour with VeLTRA, since there were no other customers, they asked if there were any places I wanted to visit and adjusted the itinerary flexibly.

バスツアーは、日本語が話せるガイドさんだったので安心でした。
実は今回のバスツアーの前日にも他の会社のツアーに参加したのですが、運転手さんが日本語が話せず英語でのガイドだったため理解できなかったため、少し残念でした(日本人向けのツアーでしたが)

VeLTRAさんの今回のツアーは、他にお客さんがいなかったのもあり、行きたいところはないか聞いてくれたり、臨機応変にまわってくださいました。

Can’t wait for my next trip to Oahu so I can do it again! Flew with you about ten years ago and have great memories of that experience, but appreciated and enjoyed this flight so much more! Maybe we do just appreciate some life experiences so much more as we get older? I knew from experience, that I would enjoy another glider ride, but my girlfriend had no concept or idea what to expect. She was totally blown away and in awe that the pilot could keep us in the air for that length of time “with no engine to supply the power”!…..she thinks you’re an absolute genius that could perform that incredible feat!
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. Your entire staff was so friendly and obviously love what they do. Thanks again…I highly recommend your glider experience to anyone who is even remotely interested in the fun of flight.

First of all, despite my mistake in the meeting location, they worked hard to help me find it. I ended up arriving 20 minutes late after they came back to the original pickup spot.

The first restroom stop was closed, but they helped me find an alternative restroom and took me there. For lunch, they asked each group what they wanted, and when I said I wanted garlic shrimp, they informed me about the features of two restaurants and suggested sharing one.

I was very satisfied with the additional places they guided us to beyond the planned itinerary, and the guidance inside the vehicle was also excellent. I definitely want to participate in a tour with this company again. Thank you very much.

まず最初に僕が集合場所を間違えていたにもかかわらず一生懸命探してくれました。本来のピックアップ場所まで再度来てもらって20分遅れで参加しました。
最初のトイレ休憩のところが締まっていて、代わりのトイレを探してくれて連れて行ってくれました。
昼食もグループごとに聞いてくれて、ガーリックシュリンプがいいと言うと、2店舗の特徴と1つをシェアしたほうが良いと教えてくれました。
予定の場所プラスアルファで案内してくれてとても満足しました、車内での左右ガイド案内もとても良かったです。
このツアー会社のツアーに是非また参加したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

【What I Want to Convey First】
- It's better to schedule this for the first half of your trip (due to potential delays from weather conditions).
- Morning slots are preferable.
(I had booked a 1 PM slot, but due to weather conditions, the jumps were halted in the morning. By the time they resumed, the morning slots were already fully booked, and I received a cancellation notice without even going to the site.)
- If you're unsure, you should definitely experience it.

【Flow of the Day】
Around 10 AM, I received a cancellation notice due to bad weather. They informed me that the same slot was available the next day, so I rescheduled.

The next day, I was picked up from my hotel in Waikiki and traveled by tour bus to Waialua (about an hour). Upon arrival, I first checked in using a tablet. I entered my reservation number, name, address, emergency contact, and consent form. (Everything is in English, but a translation app can help with that.) The Japanese staff at the reception explained that due to clouds above, they weren't sure if we could fly. After waiting for about an hour, the weather improved, and those waiting began to prepare. After about two hours from check-in, my name was called by the instructor, and I stored my belongings in a locker to get ready. (I couldn't understand much of the explanation since it was in English, but I managed with determination and gestures.) I boarded a small plane and dove from 4,000 meters above. After landing, the instructor provided me with a certificate and took some photos, and that was the end of it. In total, it took about six hours from leaving the hotel to returning.

【Impressions】
I only felt scared when jumping out of the plane, but that was just at the beginning. The wind felt amazing, and the view from 4,000 meters above is indescribable.

【最初にお伝えしたいこと】
・旅の前半に予定しておいた方が良い（天候等の影響で延期等がある）
・枠は午前中の方が良い
　（自分は13時枠で予約していましたが、午前中に天候の影響でジャンプがストップしてしまい、
　 再開する時に既に午前枠の人でスケジュール的に埋まってしまったそうなので、
　 現地にも行くことなくキャンセルの連絡が来ました）
・迷ってるんだったら体験するべき

【当日の流れ】
10時ごろ、悪天候のためキャンセルの連絡が来る。
翌日の同じ枠なら空いているとのことで、翌日に変更してもらう。

翌日、ワイキキのホテルに迎えに来てもらい、ツアーバスでワイアルアまで移動（約1時間）
現地に着き、まずタブレットで受付。
予約番号、氏名、住所、緊急連絡先、同意書を入力する。
（全て英語表記ですが、翻訳アプリでどうにかなります）
受付にいる日本人のスタッフより上空に雲が広がっているため、飛べるかどうか分からないと説明を受ける。
1時間ほど待っていると上空の雲行きが良くなり、待機していた人たちが準備をし始める。
受付から約2時間くらい経過し、インストラクターから名前が呼ばれ、
荷物をロッカーに入れて準備を開始する。

小型飛行機に乗り込み、上空4,000mからダイブ。
着地後、インストラクターの方から証明書と写真を撮ってもらい終了。
結局、ホテル出発から戻ってくるまで約6時間かかりました。

【感想】
飛行機から落ちる時だけ怖さを感じましたが、最初だけでした。
とても風が気持ちよく、上空4,000mから見下ろす景色は言葉では言い表せない物があります。

Actually, on the scheduled day of participation, the small plane couldn't fly, so I waited for six hours on-site and then returned to the hotel. I rescheduled and participated again. It was definitely worth it to go through all that. As soon as I jumped out of the plane, it felt like I was flying in the sky; the sensation was exhilarating. Perhaps due to the wind resistance, it felt more like flying than falling, and it was undoubtedly the best experience. The moment I returned to the ground, I wanted to do it again.

実は参加予定日に小型飛行機が飛べず現地で６時間待って、ホテルに戻りました。再度リスケして参加。そこまでしても参加する価値ありです。飛行機から飛び出すとまるで空を飛んでるような爽快感です。風の抵抗があるからか落下しているというより飛んでいる感覚で、間違いなく最高です。地上に戻った瞬間、またやりたくなりました。

We started by climbing Diamond Head and had breakfast at a local Starbucks. We drove along the West Coast, taking photos of the emerald green and cobalt blue seas, and were guided by a Japanese guide to beaches where we could see sea turtles and explore areas that are not accessible on our own. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

ダイヤモンドヘッド登頂からスタートし、地元のスタバで朝食
西海岸を車で移動、エメラルドグリーンの海とコバルトブルーの海で写真撮影、海亀の見える海岸と個人では行動出来ない広範囲を日本語ガイドさんに案内してもらえたました。またとない体験が出来ました。

The check-in process was easy to understand, and since the important information was provided in Japanese, there were no uncertainties at all! There were about five groups in our party, along with four staff members. The explanations were in English, but they demonstrated everything, making it easy to follow. During the break, we were provided with water and fruit. It was clear that they were attentive to safety, which allowed me to try everything with peace of mind. It was my first time, but I had a great time! Thank you very much!

チェックインもわかりやすいし、注意事項の確認も日本語なので不明点など一切なし！
一パーティに5組くらいで一緒に回りますが、スタッフも4人。
英語のみの説明ですが、やってみせてくれるのでわかりやすい。
途中休憩でお水やフルーツが提供されます。
安全に気を遣っていることがわかり、安心してトライできました。
初めてですが楽しめました！
ありがとうございました！

After deciding to go skydiving, I was excited for three months. I got stuck on the application details regarding the requirement to understand English and to be able to climb up and down a 70-80 cm platform without using my hands. However, after reading everyone's experiences, I learned that many Japanese participants were there, so it seemed like we could consult each other or use broken Japanese to communicate.

On the day of the jump, I woke up at 5 AM, had a light breakfast, and waited at the designated spot at 6:40 AM when the Go Jump van arrived. It picked up about ten people from three hotels in the Waikiki area, but it seemed I was the only Japanese participant.

We arrived at the airport after about an hour. At the reception, they checked our passports and entered our information on a tablet. They asked for our name, address, phone number, and weight in pounds. We also had to provide an emergency contact's phone number, name, and relationship, and check the liability waiver. Since I didn't understand English, I used my smartphone's translation feature.

There were two places to sign, and it was okay to use either kanji or romaji. Once I finished entering my information, they provided information about optional upgrades at the reception. They offered a Japanese display for an upgrade to 18,000 feet, which I declined. The fuel surcharge of $15 could be paid in cash or by credit card. After that, I waited until my name was called.

The people who came in the same van were getting fitted with harnesses. The driver checked the schedule and informed us that we would be on the next flight. We stored our belongings in lockers, saying goodbye to the smartphone translation feature.

The instructor fitted my harness and gave a brief explanation. If I didn't understand English, they would explain using broken Japanese or gestures. A female photographer boosted our spirits while taking pictures.

As I sat on a bench outside, the previous jumpers came down. It was finally time to board. As the last ones to get on, we sat on the floor, and the instructor secured us closely together with clicks. They tightened the harness and had us hold it next to our chest. We were ready.

We were supposed to jump on the count of 1, 2, 3, go, but I couldn't hear anything over the sound of the wind, and before I knew it, I was flying through the air. I usually feel scared at high places, but I didn't feel scared at all here. There was no discomfort like on roller coasters or elevators; I was just resisting the wind.

When I was tapped on the shoulder and told to spread my arms, I was in a sort of arching position. I posed with the photographer using peace signs and shaka signs.

Suddenly, I felt a G-force as the parachute opened. I enjoyed the view of the Hawaiian sea and mountains as we returned to the airport. For landing, I lifted my legs, and we landed softly.

I had taken motion sickness medication beforehand, but I felt refreshed without any nausea. It was a great success.

While waiting inside the building, the instructor handed me a certificate, an eco-bag, and a pen. At this time, there was an envelope for tips with the names of the instructor and photographer written on it. I put cash in for each and placed it in a transparent box that looked like a donation box.

I got ready to take my belongings home. The shop sold T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, etc., but I was disappointed that I couldn't buy anything since the shuttle was waiting.

It seemed the driver could send the photos he took directly to an iPhone, but since I had an Android, that wasn't an option for me... After another hour, we returned to Waikiki. We arrived at the hotel just after 11 AM, and I gave the driver a tip when I got out of the car.

スカイダイビングを決めてから3ヶ月ワクワクドキドキ。申し込みの注意事項で英語を理解できる、70-80cmの台に手を使わずに昇り降りできるの項目で引っかかりました。そこで皆様の体験談を読んで英語は日本人の参加が多いので、相談し合ったとか、カタコトの日本語を使ってもらったり何とかなりそうです。
当日は朝5時に起きて軽く朝食を食べ、6:40指定場所で待っているとGo Jumpの車が来てくれました。ワイキキエリアで3箇所のホテルを周り約10人が乗り込みましたが、日本人は私一人のようです。
約1時間かけて飛行場に着きました。受付でパスポートの確認があり、タブレットで入力していきます。名前、住所、電話番号、体重はポンド表記です。緊急連絡先の電話、名前、続柄を入力して、免責事項にチェックします。英語が分からないのでスマホの翻訳機能を使いました。
サインが2箇所あり、漢字でもローマ字でもOKです。
入力終わると受付でオプションの案内があります。日本語表示をしてもらって18000feetにしませんかというもので断りました。燃油サーチャージの15$は現金かクレジット払いです。終わると奥で名前が呼ばれるまで待います。
同じ車で来た人達はそれぞれハーネスを付けてもらっていました。ドライバーさんが予定表を確認して次のフライトになること教えてくれました。
荷物はロッカーに入れます。スマホの翻訳機能とはお別れです。
担当インストラクターさんがハーネスを付けてくれ、簡単な説明をしてくれます。英語が分からないとカタコトの日本語やジェスチャーで説明してくれます。
女性カメラマンが写真を撮りながらテンション上げてくれました。
外のベンチに座っていると前の人たちが降りてきました。
いよいよ搭乗です。最後に乗り込んだ私たちは床に座り、インストラクターさんがカチッカチッと2人を密着させていきます。ハーネスもしっかり締め直して胸の横でハーネスを握ります。準備完了です。
1.2.3.goで飛ぶはずでしたが、風の音で全く聞こえず、気づけば空を飛んでいました。普段高い所は怖いですが、ここでは怖さはなかったです。ジェットコースターや、エレベーターのような不快感も全くありません。ただ、風の抵抗の耐えているだけです。
肩を叩かれて両手を広げると海老反り状態です。カメラマンさんともピースやシャカでポーズします。
しばらくすると突然Gがかかります。パラシュートが開いたのです。ハワイの海や山を堪能しながら飛行場へ帰ります。着地は両足を上げてるとフワッと着地しました。
前もって酔い止め薬を飲んでいましたが、酔うことなく爽快でした。大成功です。
建物内で待っているとインストラクターさんが証明書とエコバッグ、ボールペンなどを渡してくれました。この時にチップを入れる封筒にインストラクターさんとカメラマンさんの名前が記入してありました。それぞれに現金で入れて募金箱のような透明の箱に入れます。
荷物を持って帰る用意です。お店にはTシャツやトレーナー、帽子等売っていましたが送迎車が待っていたので買えなかっまたのが残念でした。
ドライバーさんが撮ってくれた写真をiPhoneならそのまま送ってくれたようですがAndroidなので…
また1時間かけてワイキキへ戻って来ました。ホテルに着いたのは11時過ぎでした。ドライバーさんには車を降りる時にチップを渡しました。

First of all, the meeting place was easy to find. There were only Japanese people in my group, but the tour was conducted in both English and Japanese throughout. With few other participants, the bus was spacious, and we first stopped at the Green World Coffee Farm where we could purchase coffee. At the Dole Plantation, they even helped us buy train tickets. Since I had small children with me, we were pressed for time to enjoy the train ride, souvenirs, restrooms, and ice cream within the 90 minutes. Next, we headed to the North Shore, and it was about a 20-minute walk from the bus stop to our destination, Giovanni's, where we were recommended to try the shrimp truck, Camaron. According to our guide, the taste is almost the same as Giovanni's, and it was the best I had during the trip. Finally, we ended the tour by seeing King Kamehameha from the bus. It can be quite challenging to go on your own, so just being taken around was great, and the reassurance of having a Japanese-speaking guide made the tour very satisfying.

まず集合場所はわかりやすかったです。
日本人は私のグループしかいませんでしたが、終始英語と日本語でツアーをしてくれました。
他の参加者が少なくバスも広々しており、最初にグリーンワールドコーヒーファームに立ち寄りコーヒーを購入できました。
ドールプランテーションでは、列車のチケット購入の手伝いまで行ってくれました。
小さい子どもがいるからか、90分で列車とお土産とお手洗いとアイスクリームを食べるのに時間がかつかつでした。
次にノースショアへ向かいましたが、バス停から目的のジョバンニまでは徒歩20分ほどでカマロンを勧められました。ガイドさん曰く味はほぼジョバンニと同じとのこのことで旅中で一番美味しかったです。
最後にカメハメハ大王を車内から見て終わりでした。
なかなか自分で行くのには大変なので乗ってるだけで連れてくれるのと、日本語が通じる安心感とツアーは満足でした。

Last year, I participated in the tour that started at 11 AM, and it was great, so this year I signed up for the 7:30 AM tour. We went straight to three places: Balance Rock, a coffee bean shop, and the Haleiwa sign. After that, we leisurely explored the shops starting around 10 AM and gathered at 2 PM to return to Honolulu. It was nice that it wasn't crowded since it was early in the morning.

昨年は11時からのツアーに参加して良かったので今年は7時半のツアーに申込みました。
バランスロック　コーヒー豆屋　ハレイワ看板の3カ所を着いてすぐに行きました。その後10時ごろからお店をゆっくり見て2時に集合してホノルルまで帰りました。
朝早くだったので混んでなくて良かったです。

I chose this tour because it had a 90-minute stay, allowing me to ride the train at the Dole Plantation. The driver and guide, who spoke both Japanese and English, assisted with purchasing tickets on-site, making everything very smooth.

The pineapple field tour, which takes about 20 minutes by train, included English commentary, and I was soothed by the vast scenery. It was a lot of fun. I heard that the first train departs at 9:40 AM, but if there are many tourists, it may leave earlier. I recommend heading straight to the platform after purchasing your ticket. If you can get on early, you'll have more time to enjoy souvenir shopping and savor pineapple soft serve.

The plantation opens at 9:30 AM, but they tend to open early, so it's better to use the restroom at the entrance near the ticket booth beforehand.

After the plantation, we headed to the North Shore. The bus stops near Matsumoto Shave Ice, but if you're aiming for garlic shrimp, you'll need to walk about 15 minutes from there. The road is narrow, with traffic and large vehicles passing through, so please be careful. Considering the round trip for lunch, the 120-minute stay might feel a bit rushed, so I recommend acting quickly.

The white wagon serving garlic shrimp had a long line, but it moved surprisingly fast, and I was able to purchase it sooner than expected. The garlic shrimp from the wagon with the shrimp drawing a bit further down was not very crowded, but it took a little longer to prepare. The garlic shrimp was delicious!

After eating, I quickly returned to Matsumoto Shave Ice. There was also a long line there, but I was able to buy it in just under 10 minutes. I think it's a good idea to decide what to order while waiting.

After Matsumoto Shave Ice, there wasn't much time left, so I visited the nearby SNOOPY shop and used the restroom before returning to the bus 10 minutes before departure.

On the bus, the driver provided enjoyable commentary, which kept things interesting. The driving was safe, so I felt at ease.

While it wasn't an overly packed tour, it was a great experience where I could relax at the places I wanted to visit, and I was very satisfied.

ドールプランテーションで列車にのりたかったので、９０分の滞在時間があるこのツアーを選びました。日本語も英語も話すドライバー兼ガイドさんが、現地でのチケット購入サポートをしてくれたので、とてもスムーズでした。
列車でいく約２０分のパイナップル畑ツアーは英語の放送解説付き、そして広大な風景に癒されました。とても楽しかったです。パイナップル列車の始発は９時４０分と聞いていましたが、観光客が多いと早めに始発が出ます。チケットを購入したらプラットホームへ直行をおすすめします。早く乗れれば、早めにお土産選びを楽しめるし、パイナップルソフトクリームを堪能できますよ。
なお、プランテーションは９時半オープンですが早めに開けてくれるので、チケット購入ブース側にある入り口からトイレ使用をしておくとベターです。
プランテーションの後はノースショアへ。マツモトシェイブアイス近くにバスを停めてくれますが、ガーリックシュリンプお目当ての方は、そこから１５分ほど歩く必要があります。道が狭いし、交通量もあり、大型車も通行しているので十分気をつけてください。また、ランチの往復を考えると、ちょっと１２０分の滞在時間は忙しいかもしれませんので、早めに行動をおすすめします。
白ワゴンのガーリックシュリンプは長蛇の列でしたが、意外に進みがよく思ったよりも早く購入できました。もうちょっと歩いたところにあるエビの絵のワゴンのガーリックシュリンプは、あまり混んでないのですが出来上がってくるまでに少し時間がかかりました。ガーリックシュリンプ、美味しかったです！
食べたらすぐにマツモトシェイブアイスまで戻りました。マツモトシェイブアイスも長蛇の列でしたが、１０分弱で買えました。待っている間に注文する内容を決めておくと良いと思います。
マツモトシェイブアイスのあとは時間があまりなかったので、近くのSNOOPYショップと、乗車前のトイレを済ませて、出発１０分前にバスに戻りました。
バスではドライバーさんの楽しい解説があり、飽きずに過ごせました。安全運転でしたので、安心して過ごせました。
盛りだくさんのツアーではないですが、行きたいところでゆっくり過ごせたツアーでしたので、大満足です。

Since our driver was Japanese, it was enjoyable to hear various stories about Hawaii during the ride. Gas prices seem to be rising, so if there are two of you, I think it's better than renting a car.

日本人のドライバーさんでしたので車中もハワイについて色々お話が聞けて楽しかったです。ガソリンも高くなっているようなので2人であれば、レンタカーより良いとおもいます。

Guides were friendly, approachable and experienced in their craft. All questions and concerns were answered technically and thoughtfully. Would go again! 😃

First of all, the guide was a really nice person. Thank you very much.

At the Dole Plantation, we had a limited time of 90 minutes, but there were activities like riding the train or going through the maze. I took the train, and I was amazed by the vast scenery that I had never seen before. Next time, I want to try the maze, but it seems that if you go to the maze, there isn't much time left to explore the other shops. You absolutely must try the ice cream!

Next, in Haleiwa, I had planned to eat at Giovanni's, but since it was a 10-minute walk from the bus stop, I decided to skip it and eat garlic shrimp at a different place instead, which was incredibly delicious. The garlic shrimp place I ate at was near a shop that sells acai.

At Spaghettini, which is just a short walk from the bus stop, I had the recommended sandwich from the staff. This place is also recommended. You should definitely try the Matsumoto Shave Ice as well.

Finally, the bus driver and guide was a great person who offered to show us other sights on the way back if we had extra time. You could give tips in cash or by scanning a QR code.

まず、ガイドの方がとても良い人でした。
ありがとうございました
ドールプランテーションでは、90分と限られた時間でしたが、列車に乗る、もしくは迷路を行う等がありました
私は列車に乗りましたが、見たことのないくらい広大な景色が広がっていて感動しました。
次回は迷路に行きたいですが、どうやら迷路に行くとあまりその他ショップなどを巡る時間が少ないです
アイスクリームは絶対食べるべき！

そして次に、ハレイワではジョパンニを食べる予定でしたが停留所から歩いて片道10分ということもあり、その他巡るためにそこはやめて違う店のガーリックシュリンプを食べましたが、最高に美味しかったです
私が食べたガーリックシュリンプの店は、アサイーのある店の近くでした

バス停から歩いてすぐのスパゲッティーニでは店員さんオススメのサンドウィッチを食べました
このお店もオススメです
松本シェーバーも食べるべき

最後に、バス運転手兼ガイドの方は時間が余ったら帰り道にその他観光もしてくれる良い人でした
チップは現金で渡すか、QRコードを読み取る方法でした

Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I think I was able to participate in the tour at a relatively affordable price in this expensive Hawaii. Although it was a half-day tour, they included just the right amount of spots, allowing for efficient sightseeing. If I had to say something, I wish I had more time in Haleiwa. Since lunch time was also during the free exploration time, I ended up enjoying lunch and didn't have any time left to explore or go to the beach.

全体的には素晴らしい体験でした。この物価高いハワイでは比較的に手頃の価格でツアー参加できたと思います。また半日ツアーですが、結構スポットをちょうど良く入れているので、効率よく観光できました。強いていえば、ハレイワでもっと時間ほしかったです。ランチ時間も自由散策時間内なので、結局ランチを楽しんだら散策や海辺には全然行けなくなっちゃいました。

Great team of experts! This was my first time out in the ocean and it was a blast. They know what they’re doing and will make sure you’re safe the whole time. Will definitely check them out again in the future!

I had always wanted to try this at least once, so I decided to do it in my favorite place, Hawaii. Since I was at it, I opted for 18,000 feet and added a photographer for a full experience. Rather than worrying about various things in advance, I encourage you to just go and see for yourself. There’s no time to feel scared; breathtaking views that are beyond words await you. The staff is very experienced, so you can trust them completely, and they keep the atmosphere lively throughout the experience.

Most importantly, they took a lot of photos and videos during the pre-interview, and I even received them on the way back, which I really appreciated. After returning home, I found myself reminiscing about it many times, and it made for great stories to share with others! I also received discount coupons for my next visit, so I hope to catch a rainbow or sunset at the right time someday!

一度は挑戦してみたいと思っていたので、せっかくなら大好きなハワイでと決めていました。
せっかくなのでオプションで18,000ftにし、カメラマンもつけフルフルに。
事前に色々不安になるよりも、飛んで見てほしいです。
怖いとか感じる時間もないくらい、そこには言葉にならない絶景が待ってます。
スタッフは皆さん慣れているので安心しておまかせでき、終始盛り上げてくれ
何より事前インタビューや動画・写真もたくさん撮ってくれ（しかも帰りの道中には届いた！）、ありがたかったです。
帰国した後も何度も身返し、周囲へも良い土産話になりました！
次回からのオフクーポンもいただけたので、いつか虹やサンセットがタイミングよく見れたらなと思います！

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had! It happened to storm in the middle of our tour, which made it even better. They offer great tours if you don’t mind the rough terrain and getting dirty. Check them out if you want a sense of adventure!

I usually don't venture out of Waikiki, so this time I joined a tour. The guide spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. During the bus ride, they provided commentary in both Japanese and English.

At the Dole Plantation, I got to ride the pineapple train and enjoy pineapple ice cream. The guide showed us how to buy the train tickets. I had expected to see a lot of pineapples while riding the train, but we mostly passed through grassy areas where they weren't very visible. If you looked closely, you could see some pineapple-like plants in the distance. After getting off the train, I realized I could have seen pineapples up close without riding, but I think it's worth taking the ride at least once if you're there.

The pineapple ice cream was large, so we shared it. It was delicious.

We spent about two hours at the North Shore. I thought we might see sea turtles, so I headed towards the ocean, but I didn't find any. After that, we had a meal at a café with an ocean view, and before I knew it, time flew by, and I hurried back to the bus.

While passing a shop near the bus, I was suddenly approached and told I had ten seconds to listen to a sales pitch for cosmetics. The North Shore is vast, and time is limited, so I recommend politely declining if you're not interested in cosmetics.

In Hawaii, it's difficult to travel far without renting a car, so I really enjoyed being able to visit various places on this tour.

いつもワイキキから出ないので、今回はツアーで連れて行ってもらいました。
ガイドさんは日本語がわかる方で安心感がありました。バスの移動中はずっと日本語と英語でガイドしていました。
ドールプランテーションではパイナップルトレインに乗ったり、パイナップルアイスが食べられました。トレインのチケットはガイドさんが買い方を教えてくれます。トレインに乗ってパイナップルがたくさんあるところをまわると思っていましたが、草原のようなところであまり見られませんでした。よーく見ると遠くにパイナップルみたいなものが実ってました。トレインを降りてから、間近でパイナップルを見られたので乗らなくてもよかったかなと思いましたがせっかく行くなら一度は乗ってみてもいいと思います。
パイナップルアイスは大きいのでシェアしました。美味しかったです。
ノースショアでの滞在時間は2時間ほどでした。ウミガメが見られるかと思い海の方に行きましたが、見つかりませんでした。そのあと海の見えるカフェで食事したらあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまい急いでバスにもどりました。
バスの近くのお店を通りかかったときに突然声をかけられ、10秒と言われて話を聞いていたら化粧品の販売でした。ノースショアは広くただでさえ時間がないので、化粧品に興味のない方は早めに断ることをおすすめします。
ハワイではレンタカーなどを借りないと自分で遠くに行くことは難しいので、今回ツアーでいろいろ行けて楽しかったです。

Diamond Head had great weather and the views were fantastic. Our guide, Jonathan, explained everything in detail and made it enjoyable. After Diamond Head, since it was just our group, we were able to stop by the shops we wanted to visit, take photos, and he was flexible with the timing. It was a fulfilling day.

ダイアモンドヘッドはお天気も良く、景色がとても良かったです、ガイドのジョナサンが、詳しく、ポイントを丁寧に説明してくれて、楽しかったです。ダイアモンドヘッドの後は、私達のグループだけだったので、行きたかったお店に、寄っていただいたり、
写真を撮ってくださり、時間も柔軟に対応していただき、充実した1日でした。

It wasn't very large, so I was able to explore it on foot.

There were things I wanted to try that I had caught a glimpse of when I had a guide before. I wanted to get a tattoo (there are different designs in Tahiti and Fiji, and sometimes they are not available when you want to do it later), try out an outrigger canoe (it was a smaller area than I expected), watch the haka at a New Zealand show, go fishing (no one caught anything, but it was still fun), and take photos with the villagers. I was able to do all of that.

I also went to a show in Samoa, and the fire knife performance seemed interesting, so I checked it out. The first 15 minutes inside the building was a talk (it was in English, so I didn't understand much), and then everyone was told to go outside! So, the juggling with fire sticks began in the garden, and it might be better to wait outside instead of rushing to get a good seat inside from the start.

It was peaceful, and everyone was kind; I had a wonderful experience.

However, regarding the video data worth $22.50, even after scanning the QR code I received, it just says "processing." I've inquired about it, but even after more than two weeks, it hasn't been sent, so I'm not sure what it is.

それほど広くないので徒歩で十分見て回れました

以前ガイドさんがついてくれた時にチラ見してやってみたいなと思っていたこと
タトゥー（タヒチとフィジーとで柄に違いがある、やっている時とやっていない時があるので後でやろうと思うとできないことがある）アウトリガーカヌー（思ったより狭い範囲だった）、ニュージーランドのショーでハカを観る、釣り（やっぱり誰も釣れないけど楽しい）、村人たちとの写真撮影　等全部できました

サモアでのショー、ファイヤーナイフも面白そうなので行ってみました
建物の中で前半15分はお話（英語なのであまりわからず）その後みんな外へ出ろ♪
ということで庭で火のついた棒のジャグリングが始まるので急いで最初から建物の中の
いい席を取ろうとしないで外で待っていた方がいいかもしれません

のどかでみんなやさしく、楽しい経験ができました

ただ、２２．５ドル相当のビデオデータというのが、いただいたQRコードを読み取っても
只今処理中というばかりで　問い合わせしていますが２週間以上経っても送られてこないのでどういう物なのか不明です

We visited the North Shore with its beautiful beaches and surf spots, drove along the east side with coastal views, and stopped at the Dole Plantation for delicious pineapple treats and souvenirs.

The cage was secure and the guides stayed nearby the entire time to ensure everyone was comfortable. We saw several sharks circling which made the experience even more incredible.

Each village offered something unique, with engaging demonstrations, performances, and friendly staff who shared their traditions and stories.
