North Shore Winter Whale Watch Sailing (from Haleiwa)

AMAZING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Reviewed by: Nasha Bahasoean

We had a wonderful sailing adventure.The passenger on the boat was full, about 19 people, including me and my brother. As soon as we left the harbour, the sails were up, and we enjoyed 2+ hours of truly amazing sunset sailing. It was really fun to watch the whales for the first time! We had a perfect day for sailing with a very nice breeze that kept us sailing magnificently and a glorious sunset. We sat at the front of the catamaran (which is beautiful and big) where we had great views and got splashed by water, it was just really fun. Once we spotted a whale, they headed to it and we were able to follow it for a good length of time. Very cool. Overall, it was a great excursion for us. Warning - the bulk of the time is spent leisurely motoring the seas so relax and enjoy getting away from the city!

I was able to relax. ゆっくりできました。

Reviewed by: Mayumi

I was able to visit places that are difficult to reach alone without a rental car, and I could leisurely explore the shops on the North Shore. It was great that we also stopped by a soap factory on the way back, allowing me to buy some souvenirs.

レンタカーがないとなかなか一人で行くことができない所に行けて、ゆっくりノースショアのショップを見て回ることができました。
帰りにソープ工場にも寄ってもらえてお土産を購入することができで良かったです。

ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー 迫力満点!至近距離で野生のサメを見学 <送迎可>

Once! 一度は!

Reviewed by: トレリカ

The North Shore in winter... I imagined the waves would be high. But it was a calm morning... Fortunately, none of my family got seasick, and we were able to experience it safely. The sharks seemed to be well-fed, as they only attacked the cage a few times, but for a fifth-grade boy, it was just the right amount of excitement.

冬のノースショア…。さぞ波が高いことだろう。と思っていたら、穏やかな朝…。
幸い我が家族は、誰も船酔いすることなく、無事に体験出来ました。
サメくんたちは、お腹は充分満たされていたのか、ケージにアタックは
数回しかなかったけれど、小学5年生の男の子には、刺激が強すぎるので
丁度良いあんばいでした。

This is my second time. 2度目でーす

Reviewed by: kazookun

This was my second dive, following last year. This time, I flew through the sky with my sister. Just when I thought it was all over because of the clouds, we got the signal to go. While I was excited, my sister looked worried. But in an instant, we were in the clouds and then dove down!!
I was giving a relaxed Aloha sign, while my sister was giving a desperate Aloha sign. Both became wonderful memories. Skydiving is the best!!

去年に続き2回目のダイブ。今回は妹と一緒に大空を飛びました。雲がかかり、もうダメかと思った最後の最後、Goの合図。わくわくする私の横で、心配そうにする妹。でもあっという間に雲の中へそして一気にダイブ!!
 私は余裕のアロハサイン、妹は必死のアロハサイン。どっちもまたいい思い出になりました。スカイダイビング最高!!

You who want to be a cowboy. カウボイになりたい貴方

Reviewed by: フレンチ

If you're tired of slow horseback riding in Kualoa, want to gallop like a cowboy from a Western, or simply love Western riding, I believe GUNSTOCK is the perfect ranch for you.

I experienced horseback riding at 1. Kualoa, 2. Koko Crater, 3. Turtle Bay Hilton, and 4. GUNSTOCK, and among them, this one is the best.

2 also offers a great view from a small hill, but it's more British. 3 was a horseback trek along the beach. At 4, during the trek, they were practicing roping calves in the back arena.

Next time, I hope to stay overnight at this ranch for a cowboy experience. (Note: For those who want to experience Western riding in Japan, Eldorado in Chiba is the best.)

クアロアののろのろ歩く乗馬に飽きた貴方、西部劇に出てくるカウボイのように颯爽と走りたい貴方、ウエスタン乗馬が大好きな貴方、そんな方にもってこいの牧場<乗馬クラブ>はGUNSTOCKと思います。
1、クアロア、2、ココクレータ、3、タートルベイヒルトン、4、GUNSTOCKでの乗馬とオアフ島でいろいろ体験しましたがその中ではここが一番でしょう。
2は4同様、小高い丘の上からの眺めが最高ですがブリティッシュです。3は海辺をトレッキングする乗馬でした。
4ではトレッキングの途中、奥の馬場で小牛を投げ縄で捕らえる練習をしていました。
次回はこの牧場で寝泊りしながらカウボイ体験が出来ればと考えています。<注:日本でウエスタン乗馬を体験したい方は千葉にあるエルドラドが一番です>以上

North Shore Winter Whale Watch Sailing (from Haleiwa)

Had bad weather and saw no whales but otherwise solid cruise

Reviewed by: Adrienne

The water was very choppy and the sky dark when we embarked for our whale watching tour in the morning. To be fair, the owner warned us of the conditions and gave everyone the option to reschedule, but as it was our last day in Oahu, we went for the cruise anyways (everyone else did as well). The water was so choppy that the boat wasn't able to get very far and it was near impossible to identify a whale if there indeed was one. The staff did note that it was unusual to not see anything, so we were unlucky. I wanted to note that if you book direct, there is no whale sighting guarantee (staff noted we could return for half price even though we didn't see whales), so it's a pretty good idea to book through a third party like this site that does offer a guarantee.

North Shore Winter Whale Watch Sailing (from Haleiwa)

Excellent whale watching

Reviewed by: Chicago snowbirds

We had a great trip. It was a little difficult to find the location to park and we had to circle the parking lot a few times to find the dock. Fortunately it was New Years Day and at 8:30AM so the dock was not too crowded. For reference, it is close to the rest room facilities.

The boat was clean and the sailing started on time. kipper tom was very entertaining and knowledgeable, and held a conversation throughout the trip. He provided information about the whales, and also about what to do and where to eat in Hawaii. We saw many whales and a turtle. Even though the catamaran was a small and low boat, the waves are huge so not suitable activity if you have motion sickness. I heard that some passengers took dramamine, which I highly recommend. Great for a family activity of good sailors.

絶景スカイダイビング 一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>

I cannot recommend this place. The skydiving itself is great! こちらではおすすめできません。スカイダイビング自体は○!

Reviewed by: kasa

Everything depends on the local coordinator and driver. It was far too casual. They arrived on time in the morning, but handed me a pen that didn’t work and a consent form to read. I was told to check items and fill in blanks. The car was shaking, it was dark, and I couldn’t understand the content well. There was no explanation about the consent form, the optional video, or the photo content and prices at all. In the end, I was handed a document about their background and a business card, and was told to read it if I wanted. Was that really necessary? The business card had a phone number and mentioned that arrangements could be made for $175. I was so upset that I immediately threw it away. I wish I could have taken a photo if it was possible.

I thought there would be a proper explanation of the content on-site, but it seemed like I had to fill everything out in the car, and everyone was confused inside the vehicle. They also kept talking endlessly using the car's microphone. I don’t remember much of the content, but they were talking about health. There was no explanation about skydiving.

By the way, it was written that there would be a lecture in Japanese on-site, but there wasn’t any. We just watched a video in the car on the way there. After that, the foreign instructor who would jump with us taught us in broken Japanese for about a minute. The quality of the explanation varied depending on the instructor.

When we arrived on-site, there was an explanation about the optional video and photos, but the amount explained by the coordinator was different from the amount charged, leading to a dispute with the local company. I tried to explain in broken English, but it didn’t get through, and both sides gave up. The coordinator didn’t stay on-site because they had another job.

The skydiving itself was fun. However, due to bad weather, we had to change to the 2100m plan. I think it would be enjoyable for those who don’t get car sick or motion sick. There’s no fear; it’s just for a moment.

However, there were so many issues that I don’t have good memories of it. There was so much more that I couldn’t write here. It’s a unique experience, and I don’t want it to be ruined here. It’s strange that there are no complaints here. I think improvements are necessary.

すべては、現地コーディネーター兼運転手です。

名刺には電話番号とたしか175$で手配できると書いてました。
腹が立ちすぐ捨てました。写真がアップできるなら持って帰ればよかったです。

現地で改めて内容説明があるのかと思いましたが、
結局車ですべて書かないとダメみたいで、車内ではみんな困惑していました。
また車のマイクをつかって延々としゃべっていました。
内容はあまり覚えていませんが、健康について話していました。
スカイダイビングの説明はありません。

コーディネーターの説明した金額と請求金額は違っており現地の会社と揉めました。
片言の英語で説明しましたが伝わらずどちらも諦めました。
コーディネーターは次の仕事があるからと現地には常駐しません。

スカイダイビング自体は楽しかったのです。
ただ天気が悪く2100mのプランに変更なりました。
車酔いや乗り物酔いなどしない人は楽しいと思います。
怖さなどはありませんよ。一瞬だけです。

ここにクレームがないとこが不思議です。
改善が必要だとおもいます。

Reviewed by: NISHI

I signed up for the Waikiki shuttle plan. As mentioned in the reviews, the driver did not speak Japanese. The tour was scheduled for 7 AM, but they arrived promptly at 5:30 AM to pick us up. On the boat, we were the only Japanese people. All the explanations were in English, and without any Japanese guidance, the tour started.

On the first try, we went to the ocean cage with seven people. A family that joined us seemed to have requested a video, and since the staff was throwing food into the water, we were able to see the fish eating, which was great timing. The following group did not have food thrown in.

After coming out of the water, while waiting for the next two groups to experience their turn, it was very cold to stay in our swimsuits. I used the skirt I brought to change, but there is no private space on the boat, so those who want to change should think of something. If it were warm, swimsuits would be fine, but in December, the wind was cold, and I couldn't stay in my swimsuit.

I completely forgot to bring motion sickness medication, so I was anxious, but for some reason, I was totally fine. However, my friend seemed to be struggling with seasickness inside the cage. Out of about 20 people, only 2 or 3 were feeling sick. I wonder if Westerners have a constitution that doesn't get seasick? (laughs) After the tour, I wanted to do some sightseeing in Haleiwa, so I declined the ride back and we disbanded at the port. There was no discount on the price. (laughs)

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: 12/27

I had a great time!

The driver was a nice person, and it felt wonderful to ride horses along the beautiful beach and connect with nature!

The only downside was that someone who wasn't picked up confronted the driver, insisting it wasn't their fault, and complained to the company, which created a negative atmosphere. It was unfortunate to encounter a complainer while in Hawaii, especially since there were others from the same hotel being picked up.

However, the driver continued to lighten the mood and was truly a good person! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate again!

とても楽しかったです!

ドライバーさんも良い人だったし、綺麗なビーチ沿いを馬に乗って散歩して自然を感じる事が出来て気持ち良かったです!

☆一つ少ないのは、ピックアップされなかった人が、自分は悪くないってドライバーさんに、食ってかかったり、会社に文句の電話してたり、降りる時に文句言い逃げしたりして、空気が悪くなったからです。
同じホテルからピックアップされてる人がいるって事は……って感じでしたが、ハワイに来てまでクレーマーに遭遇とは。不運でした。

けど、その後もドライバーさんは和ませてくれて、本当に良い人でした!
またハワイに行く機会があれば是非参加したいです!

You should definitely try it at least once in your life! 人生で一度はやっておきたい!

Reviewed by: もこもこ

Something I always wanted to do at least once in my life!
Skydiving.
It was truly the best experience.

As mentioned here, if you have Japanese and high school-level English conversation skills, you can do it without any problems.
I signed up for 2100m, but when I arrived, there were no other participants for that height, so I was almost forced to upgrade.
I intended to sign up for photos on-site, so I went ahead with the application.

Skydiving is not difficult at all; you can leave everything to the instructor!
Also, the tipping system here is easy to understand (there's a post for tips), so the timing for tipping, which is said to be difficult for Japanese people, was not an issue.

On the way back, I asked the driver to stop for a North Shore tour, so I got off along the way.
I was able to return to Honolulu by bus!

私の人生で一度は必ずやろうと思っていたこと!
スカイダイビング。
ほんとに最高の経験でした。

ここにも書いてあった通り日本語と高校レベル?の英会話能力があれば問題無くできます。
2100mの希望で申し込みしましたが、現地に着くと2100mの参加者は他にいなく、
ほぼ強制的にグレードアップする形になりました。
写真は、現地で申し込もうと思っていましたので、そのまま申し込みを。

スカイダイビングは何も難しいことなく、
すべてインストラクターさん任せにして大丈夫です!
また、ここはチップの仕組みもわかりやすく(チップを入れるポストがあります)
日本人が難しいと言われるチップのタイミングも問題なしでした。

I chose to meet at the location. I selected the 9 AM option, so I needed to be there by 8:30 AM. Therefore, I left my hotel in Waikiki at 7:30 AM. I woke up around 6:40 AM to get the kids ready. Since I woke up this early, if I had received any communication, I could have done something else instead of going all the way to the North. I completely understand that we can't set sail due to bad weather. However, I cannot understand the lack of communication. It feels like I want my time back more than my money! After all, the payment is processed immediately when making the reservation.

Spectacular scenery, blue sky, eighty degrees. What more could you ask? Even a 1 hour hold-up in Waimanolo couldn,t spoil my day.

オアフ島1日周遊観光 ポリネシアカルチャーセンターとハワイ最大のダンスショー+ハレイワタウン+この木なんの木+ドールプランテーション

My first time in Hawaii. 初ハワイにて

Reviewed by: ueo

I applied for the deluxe course on behalf of my parents, who are over 60.

As for the meals, while they were considered deluxe from a Japanese palate perspective, they were a bit lacking. However, they had a lot of fun riding canoes, and the bus guide shared various stories along the way. They were very active during the day, so they thought they might be too tired to stay awake for the show, but the fire dance was so impressive that it woke them up! They mentioned it with a laugh.

還暦過ぎの両親の代わりにデラックスコースを申し込みました。

食事は、日本人の味覚からするとデラックスでも、うーん?…だったそうですが、カヌーに乗ったり、バスのガイドさん?も行き掛けに色々な話をしてくれたそうで、とても楽しかったようです。
日中、目一杯活動するのでショーの時間にはもう疲れて眠っちゃうかも、と思ったそうですが、ファイヤーダンスなどがあまりにも迫力があったそうで、目が覚めた!と話しておりました。笑

絶景スカイダイビング 一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>

A shocking experience 衝撃の体験

Reviewed by: ueo

I experienced skydiving for the first time. (As of 2014) Although the yen was strong, it was still much cheaper than in Japan, so for those who want to try it at least once, I highly recommend it. The view of Hawaii from the sky was very beautiful. Falling from the sky without any support was quite a shocking experience.

There is a pick-up and drop-off service, but since it's located in a somewhat inconvenient area, those on a short stay who feel like time is precious might consider renting a car to stop by places like Waikele Outlet on the way back to Waikiki. We were first-time visitors to Hawaii and didn't have a good sense of the area, but we were able to drive there without any problems.

初めてスカイダイビングを経験しました。
(2014年現在)円高ですが、それでも日本国内より大分安い金額で体験できるので、1度してみたいな、という人は是非。空から見るハワイの
景色はとても綺麗でした。
何の支えもなく、ひたすら上空から落ちていく、というのは結構衝撃的な体験でした。
送り迎えはありますが、若干不便な場所にあるため短期滞在の方で時間が勿体無く感じる人は、ワイキキへの帰り道にワイケレアウトレットなど寄れるのでレンタカーで向かっても良いかもしれません。私たちは、初ハワイで土地勘はありませんでしたが、それでも自分達で運転して問題なく到着できました。

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Awesome time

Reviewed by: Grace S

This was a truly awesome experience. We had Sam as a driver and he was totally great. He navigated traffic well and all of his narrating was necessary, funny and enjoyable.
We had a slight problem in that we missed our pick up (oops!) but the company was helpful and told us where to go to get another pick up.
We did some bike riding in the morning, saw Pipeline and had a great time. In the afternoon we tried SUP and saw turtles! It was a fully awesome experience. So good getting out and SEEING the North Shore, not just taking pictures of it.

It was the best experience. 最高の体験です

Reviewed by: とんちゃん

I participated at my husband's strong request. According to our guide and driver, it seemed to be a less busy day, and we returned to the hotel around lunchtime.

The instructors were all handsome, which really boosted my excitement from the preparation stage! I was quite nervous, but since it wasn't my timing to hesitate, I quickly jumped out of the plane. I was thrilled by the beautiful island scenery and was shouting at first, but as the parachute opened and we started descending slowly, I began to feel a bit nauseous. They offered to spin us around as a service, but I declined in broken English...

In the latter half, I was just hoping to land on solid ground quickly, without the luxury of enjoying the view, and I headed straight to the restroom after landing.

I regretted not taking motion sickness medication, thinking it would be fine since we were just falling. I think it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to take it.

However, it was such an exhilarating experience that I want to try it again.

Photos and videos were quite expensive, so no one from our group signed up for them. I hesitated because it would have been a nice memento, but looking back, I'm glad my nauseous face wasn't captured!

旦那さんたっての希望で参加しました。
ガイド兼運転手のお父さんの話では、空いている日だったらしくお昼くらいにはホテルに戻っていました。

インストラクターの方たちはイケメンばかりで準備段階からテンションあがります!
かなり緊張していたけれど、自分のタイミングではないので、ためらう暇もなく
あっという間に飛行機から飛び出していました。
素晴らしい島の景色で興奮して最初は叫んでいたけど、
パラシュートが開いてゆっくり降下しだしたぐらいからだんだんと気持ち悪くなってきて
サービスでぐるぐる回ってくれたりするのですが、片言英語で辞退・・・。

後半はとにかく早く陸に降ろしてほしい((+_+))という状態で景色を楽しむ余裕もなく
着陸後トイレへ直行しました。

落ちてくるだけだし大丈夫だろうと酔い止めを飲まなかったことを
かなり後悔したので、
乗り物酔いし易い方は飲んだ方が良いと思います。

でもまた挑戦したいと思えるほど興奮する体験でした。

写真やビデオは結構お高いので、一緒に行ったグループの方たちは誰も申し込んでいませんでした。
記念になるので迷いましたが、今思えば酔ったひどい顔が写らなくてよかったです(^_^;)
