All Reviews for North Shore Oahu

Absolutely amazing dive. Felt very safe. Would definitely do it again

Thank you so much, Jonah, our guide!

Since we were hiking up Diamond Head to catch the sunrise, we had to wake up early. I had previously hiked during the day and almost suffered from heatstroke, having to turn back just before reaching the top. I recommend starting early, even in the dark! The zigzag uphill path was easy to navigate. Jonah's thoughtful preparation, such as providing flashlights for the four participants, was wonderful!

After that, our group grew from four to eight people. We also stopped by Leonard's and enjoyed delicious malasadas in the car. There were many stops along the way, and Jonah's insights about each attraction and restroom advice made this tour truly special.

Not only did we visit tourist spots, but Jonah also allowed us time to relax and enjoy the ocean view.

One regret, or rather a mistake! I was excited about Giovanni's, famous for its garlic shrimp at the Kualoa Sugar Mill, and being a fan of spicy food, I ordered the "Hot & Spicy." It turned out to be much spicier than I imagined, and I had to quickly leave that spot and rush to a bar where I could drink beer, managing to eat with a beer in hand! I should have ordered the scampi, which is labeled as the number one favorite! For those who love spicy food, be cautious!

Strolling around Haleiwa Town while checking out the shops was just the right amount of time, and I enjoyed the coffee tasting at the last coffee farm, purchasing some that I liked.

Thank you, Jonah, for all the stories you shared while driving us around until the end! I really appreciate it! Thank you!!

ガイドのジョナさん、本当にお世話になりました！
ダイヤモンドヘッド日の出登山(ハイキング^^;）なので、朝は早いのですが、私は以前に昼間登って熱中症気味になり、頂上目前の階段下でリタイヤした事があります。早起きしても、暗い内に登るのがおすすめです！ジグザグ上り坂までも楽々行けました。また、参加者4人に懐中電灯を準備して下さるなど、ジョナさんの細やかな心配りが素晴らしい！
その後仲間が4人増え、8人グループとなりました。
レナーズにも立ち寄って下さり、マラサダも車内で美味しく頂きました。
立ち寄り場所もたくさん有り、それぞれの見所やトイレのアドバイスなど、このツアーはジョナさんの魅力によるものが大きかったと思います。
観光地だけでなく、海をゆっくりぼんやり見る時間も作って下さいました。
１つ後悔！と言うか失敗！
カフク・シュガーミルにある、ガーリックシュリンプで有名なジョバンニに心躍ったのですが、辛いもの好きで「ホット＆スパイシー」を注文してしまいました。これは、想像以上に痛い位辛く、その場をすぐに引き上げて、ビールを飲ませてくれる店に駆け込んで、ビール片手に何とか食べました！人気No1と書いてあるスキャンピを頼むべきでした！辛い物好きな方もご注意ください！
ハレイワタウンもブラブラとお店を冷かしながら歩いて、丁度良い時間でしたし、最後のコーヒーファームの試飲のコーヒーも美味しく頂き、気に入ったものを購入できました。
最後まで、運転しながらたくさんのお話をして下さったジョナさん、お世話になりました！ありがとうございました！！

Thank you, Jonah, for taking care of me again in September. I appreciate you guiding me to the beaches where we might see honu (sea turtles) on the North Shore and stopping by the Balance Rock. Thank you for accommodating my whims.

It was a bit disappointing that it rained during the early morning hike up Diamond Head, but the weather cleared up afterward, and the ocean was beautiful. I enjoyed Giovanni's garlic shrimp while drinking beer at a nearby beer specialty shop. With all the great conversations with you, it was a very enjoyable day!

ジョナさん、9月に引き続きお世話になり、ありがとうございました。
ノースショアではホヌがいると思われるビーチを案内していただいたり、バランスロックに寄っていただいたり、わがままを聞いていただいてありがとうございました。
早朝のダイヤモンドヘッド登頂は雨が少し降っていて残念でしたが、その後は天気がよくて海がキレイでした。ジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプを近くのビール専門の店内でビールを飲みながら美味しく食べられました。ジョナさんのたくさんの会話もあり、とても楽しい1日でした！

One tour had five different activities mixed together, which caused the return time to be delayed by one hour.

I think it's better to stop the practice of forcing tips with signs.

I would like the horseback riding staff to be positioned at the front and back of the line, not just one person at the front.

ひとつのツアーで５組のそれぞれ別のアクティビティが混ざったツアーになっていた為、戻り時間が1時間遅れになった

チップを強制する貼紙はやめたほうがいいと思う

乗馬スタッフは前一名でなく隊列の前後に付けてほしい

I chose the 7:30 AM departure. I was worried that I might have too much time to kill since the shops wouldn't be open yet, and I considered the 11:00 AM departure, but I'm glad I went with the 7:30 AM option in the end.

The driver was considerate and took us to the North Shore beach for surfing since it was early in the morning. It was winter, so the waves were high, and we got to see surfers riding the tube waves. They even took some photos for us, which became the best memory of this tour.

In Haleiwa, we visited NALU, famous for its acai bowls, and Island Vintage Coffee. Unlike in Honolulu, where you have to wait in long lines, it was not crowded, and we were able to enjoy acai bowls and coffee while leisurely waiting for the shops to open.

On Sunday, we also enjoyed the Huli Huli chicken without any wait, and it was delicious. At Matsumoto Shave Ice, I had the chance to talk with the owner, Mr. Matsumoto, and we were able to get our treats smoothly without waiting in line.

Shopping was also relaxed and enjoyable. On the day I participated, there were only four Japanese participants, so we returned to Waikiki smoothly and quickly before 3 PM, allowing us to make the most of the rest of our time.

7時30分発をチョイスしました。着いてもお店がオープンしていなから時間を持て余すかと、11時出発と迷いましたが、７時30分発にして結果良かったです。
ドライバーさんが、朝早いので、気を利かせてくれてサーフィンの本番のノースショアのビーチに連れて行っていただきました。冬だったので、波高くチューブの波中、サーフィンしている所を見る方ができました。写真も撮っていただき、今回のツアーで一番良い思い出になりました。
ハレイワでは、アサイボールで有名なNALU、アイランドヴィンテージコーヒーはホノルルでは長蛇の列に並ばないといけないのが、空いていて、アサイボールやカフェをして、ゆったりお店のオープンまで過ごすことが出来ました。
日曜日でフリフリチキンも並ばず美味しくいただきました。
マツモトシェーブドアイスでは、オーナーの松本さんとお話しが出来きましたし、ここでも、並ばずスムーズにいただけました。
お買い物も、ゆったりと出来ました。
参加した日は、参加者、日本人４人だけだったので、ワイキキへもスムーズに早く３時前には戻れ、その後の時間を有効に過ごすことができました。

I visited Haleiwa Town on the North Shore for the first time. I was able to enjoy the Huli Huli chicken and garlic shrimp without much wait. The atmosphere made it feel like time moved slowly, which helped me relax. I had a total of five hours there, but if I had one more hour, I would have liked to walk to Ali'i Beach Park.

ノースショアのハレイワタウンには初めて行きました。フリフリチキン、ガーリックシュリンプはそんなに待たずに食べれました。地域がら時間がゆっくり進むような気がしてリラックスできました。現地の滞在時間が5時間でしたがもう1時間あれば歩いてアリ・ビーチ・パークに行きたかったです。

They provided various little bits of information! The time spent in the car was comfortable. I had a lot of fun! I also felt reassured that the person in charge was Japanese.

色んなプチ情報をおしえてくれました！
車内の時間も快適でした。
とっても楽しかった！
担当が日本人の方で安心もしました。

I traveled to Hawaii alone, and I felt that it was a great tour that allowed me to efficiently visit various spots. The guide's Japanese was excellent, and the conversation was enjoyable. I was blessed with good weather, and the blue sky and sea were amazing!

一人旅でハワイに来ましたので、効率よく色々なスポットに行けて、お得なツアーだと感じました。
ガイドさんの日本語も上手でお話し楽しかったです。
天気に恵まれ青い空と海が最高！

It says it starts at five but the activity start maybe an hour earlier but still give yourself some time to go to the waterfall for about three hours and an hour to get ready there

I LIKE THE TRIP PUT I THINK SKIP THE COFFEN SHOP AND MORE TIME AT THE WATERRFALL.

A LOT OF ACTIVS PICKUP AND DROPOFF TO CENTER . THE BUFFET WAS VERY GOOD,

Just an overall fun experience. From learning about the different cultures to the games and activities to the amazing food! Everything was planned and every worker was helpful and polite. I highly recommend doing the full day event and using it as one of your full vacation days. It was a very long day, but it was well worth it and the food buffet was like nothing I had ever seen before. The best part was the luau completely captivating and well done.

The one-hour course was just enough. All the staff were very nice, and we had a great time. The scenery was also amazing! My 10-year-old son was very satisfied as well.

1時間コースで十分でした。
スタッフもみんな感じがよくとても楽しめました。
景色も最高でした！
10歳の息子もとても満足していました。

I had a great time being able to visit various spots all at once! Giovanni's shrimp was exquisite! However, it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't go to the last coffee plantation due to traffic conditions.

いろいろなスポットに一度にいけて楽しかったです！ジョバンニのエビは絶品でした！ただ交通事情により最後のコーヒー農園に行くことができませんでしたのでそこだけ残念でした。

I really enjoyed the explanations provided by Jonah at every place we visited. As we moved along while listening to his commentary, it felt like we arrived at our destinations on Oahu in no time, even though we traveled from one end to the other. Additionally, his recommendations for dishes were spot on, and everything was delicious.

ジョナさんが通る場所至る所の解説を日本語でしてくれるので、とても楽しめました。
解説を聞きながら進んでいたので、オアフ島を端から端まで移動したのに、すぐ着いた感覚になりました。
また、おすすめの料理などが的確で全てが美味しかったです。

From Diamond Head to Haleiwa, there's so much to see. The ocean I want to visit on my trip to Hawaii, the gourmet food in Kahuku, and exploring Haleiwa Town—all of this for a price that's unmatched. Our guide, Jonathan, was very clear and helpful, which made the experience even better.

とてもわかりやすくて、良かったです。

My son experienced it. He said the scenery was really beautiful and he had a lot of fun. However, after spinning around and floating, his first words when he got off were, "I feel sick... tears."

息子が体験しました。とーっても景色が良くて楽しかったようです。しかし、ぐるんぐるん回転したり、ふわふわしたり…降りての第一声は「酔った…涙」でした。

I finally challenged myself to the skydiving I've always dreamed of. At first, I was nervous, but once I jumped, I experienced much more airtime than I had imagined, and I was truly moved by the breathtaking views and thrills.

The instructor who guided me was very friendly, and since I got to experience handling the controls, it felt great to not just be "flying," but to really feel like I was "participating" in the experience!

On the day of the jump, there is about a 30-minute wait from arrival until the jump, and another 30 minutes from landing until you leave, so it's a good idea to bring a mobile charger.

Regarding tips, there was a suggested amount written on the envelope given at the end, so I used that as a reference when I gave my tip.

It does take a bit of courage, but the unforgettable experience is worth it, so I highly recommend it for anyone looking to create special memories in Hawaii.

ずっと憧れていた念願のスカイダイビングに挑戦しました。
最初は緊張しましたが、いざ飛んでみると想像以上に滞空時間があり、景色もスリルも存分に楽しめて本当に感動しました。

担当してくれたインストラクターさんはとてもフレンドリーで、ハンドル操作を体験させてくれたこともあり、ただ飛ぶだけでなく「参加している」感覚が良かったです！

当日は到着してから飛ぶまで、また着地してから帰るまでにそれぞれ30分ほど待ち時間があるので、モバイル充電器を持っていった方がいいです。

チップについては、最後に渡される封筒に目安金額が記載されていたので、それを参考にしてお渡ししました。

少し勇気は要りますが、それ以上に忘れられない体験ができるので、ハワイで特別な思い出を作りたい方にはぜひおすすめしたいです。

I participated on January 21st. We visited various tourist spots on the East Coast in order, and we were able to take photos at each location. At Kualoa Beach, we saw a honu (sea turtle) come close to the shore to eat seaweed. At the Tropical Farm, which my wife was looking forward to, we had the experience of cracking macadamia nuts and tasting all the different varieties. For lunch, we enjoyed a large Instagram-worthy burger at the Seven Brothers at Kahuku Sugar Mill. In the afternoon, we had an hour and a half of free time in Haleiwa, and we returned to Waikiki around 5 PM.

We visited many spots, but since it was just the two of us that day, we were able to enjoy it without rushing. Additionally, our conversations with our guide, Jonah, were lively, making for a fun day.

1/21に参加しました。東海岸の観光スポットを順番に回って、各スポットで写真も撮影してもらえます。
クアロアビーチではホヌが波打ち際近くまでやってきて、海藻を食べる姿を見れました。家内が楽しみにしていたトロピカルファームでは、マカデミアナッツを割る体験や全種類の試食も出来ました。昼食はカフクシュガーミルのセブンブラザーズで、インスタ映えする大きなバーガーを楽しみました。そして午後はハレイワで1時間半の自由時間があり、ワイキキには17時頃戻ってきました。
多くのスポットを回りましたが、この日は私たち夫婦だけだったのであくせくすることなく、またガイドのジョナさんとの会話も弾み、楽しい1日を過ごせました。

Riding a gentle horse and strolling along the beach created the best memories. At first, I was anxious, but they carefully taught me the tips for riding.

優しい馬に乗り、海辺を散策できて、最高の思い出になりました。
最初は不安でしたが、乗り方のコツも丁寧に教えてくれます。

The itinerary was well planned, with a nice mix of North Shore highlights, scenic East Side stops, and a fun visit to Dole Plantation.

It was truly amazing! If you're hesitating, definitely give it a try. It's not at a height that would be scary even for those with a fear of heights, so I can't really say. You don't need to understand English to enjoy it! The weather was great on the day, and I was only worried about the motion sickness mentioned in the reviews, but I had no symptoms at all. It was just pure fun!

本当に最高でした！
迷われている方、是非飛んでみて下さい。
高所恐怖症でも怖いというレベルの高さでは無いので、もはや分からないです。
英語が分からなくても大丈夫です！
当日は天気も良く、口コミにある酔いだけが心配でしたが、症状も全く無く、ただただ楽しかったの一言でした。

I was able to swim through the vast sky, and the contrast with the blue ocean was amazing. The instructors were all cheerful and had great energy!

大空を空中遊泳ができ、青い海のコントラストも最高でした。インストラクターも皆さん陽気でノリもサイコー

Swimming with sharks was an experience I honestly couldn't imagine at all, and I felt a bit anxious about it. However, after being introduced to it by a friend, I decided to take the plunge and give it a try.

I was really nervous right up until the moment I entered the water, but once I was in the ocean, I found that the sharks swam gracefully and calmly. Being able to swim alongside them and see them up close turned out to be a very enjoyable experience.

The speed at which they swam was not as fast as I had expected, and I was able to swim right above them. While it was thrilling, the sense of awe I felt was much greater than any fear, making it an unforgettable time.

The tour was conducted in English only, but the staff occasionally spoke to us in Japanese, which made me feel more at ease. Additionally, I had heard from friends who participated in other tours that they had trouble receiving their photos, but in this tour, the photos were sent immediately after we arrived at the port, making the process very smooth. (There were no issues even with an Android phone.)

サメと一緒に泳ぐという体験は、正直なところまったく想像がつかず、少し不安もありましたが、友達に紹介してもらったことをきっかけに思い切って挑戦しました。
直前までとてもドキドキしていましたが、いざ海に入ってみると、サメはとても悠々と落ち着いて泳いでいて、その姿を間近で見ながら一緒に泳ぐことができ、とても楽しい体験となりました。

泳ぐスピードも思っていたほど速くなく、サメのすぐ上を並んで泳ぐこともできました。迫力はありつつも、怖さよりも感動の方が大きく、忘れられない時間になりました。

ツアーは英語のみでしたが、スタッフの方が時折日本語を交えながら話しかけてくださり、安心して参加することができました。
また、他のツアーに参加した友達からは、写真の送付がなかなか届かないといったトラブルを聞いていましたが、このツアーでは港に到着後すぐに写真を送信してくださり、とてもスムーズでした。（携帯の機種がAndroidでも問題ありませんでした。）

Accessing the location was a bit challenging from Waikiki by rental car, but the horseback riding time was very long, and I was satisfied! The scenery was magnificent and beautiful. The horses were very smart, and the staff was kind. At the end, you can feed the horses a little. I gave a tip at that time!

アクセスはワイキキからはレンタカーで少し大変でしたが、乗馬時間はとても長い時間あるし、満足出来ました！とにかく景色が雄大で美しいです。馬たちはとても賢く、スタッフも親切でした。最後に馬に餌を少しあげられます。その時にチップを渡しました！

We purchased two tickets, after reaching were asked to pay for some mandatory fees for the face mask for 8$ each. So just be aware of that extra cost. Also, I would not recommend purchasing Pictures options for 40$ as it’s waste of money and they don’t take that good images. You will have ample opportunity to take your own pictures , so no need to waste those 49$ for poor quality images.

The pickup from the hotel was very smooth. Climbing to the summit with a light in hand in the pitch dark and watching the sunrise made me feel refreshed. I've visited Hawaii many times, but I realized there are still places I haven't been to, and it felt like I rediscovered the charm of Hawaii. I encountered sea turtles at various beaches, and visiting the macadamia nut farm and coffee plantation was enjoyable as well. Above all, our guide Jonathan's chatter made it a truly delightful tour. I highly recommend it.

ホテル前からのピックアップはとてもスムーズでした。真っ暗な中ライトを片手に山頂まで登って朝日が上がるのを見られて清々しい気分になりました。
何回もハワイを訪れていますが、行っていない場所がまだまだあったんだなーとハワイの魅力を再発見した気分です。
あちこちの海岸でホヌに出会ってマカダミアナッツファームもコーヒー農園も楽しかったです。何よりガイドのジョナサンのお喋りがとても楽しい気分にさせてくれた最高のツアーでした。おすすめです。

I was glad to be dropped off at the beach on the North Shore and see authentic surfing. The walk towards the town looked interesting, but unfortunately, most places were closed during the tour's time slot. I returned around noon and saw a few shops, but it would have been great if the tour could have been delayed by another hour. I also enjoyed taking pictures of the mini tour and the Haleiwa sign.

ノースショアの浜辺で降ろしてもらい本場のサーフィンが見れて良かったです。
そこから街の方に歩いて行く道のりみせも面白そうで、ただしツアーの時間帯では殆どが開店前、お昼にもどり何軒かは見ましたが、後一時間ツアーを遅らせてくれるとありがたいです。ミニツアーもハレイワ看板も撮れて良かったです。

I was able to see sharks swimming slowly around the cage I was in. It was my first experience, and I had a lot of fun. I was worried about getting seasick, but thanks to the motion sickness medication I took, it wasn't a problem at all.

自分が入っているゲージの周りをゆっくり泳ぐサメを見ることが出来ました。初めての体験でとても楽しかったです。心配していた船酔いは、酔い止めを飲んでいたおかげもあって問題なかったです。

I took my grandchild to Hawaii, and it was our first visit! It surprisingly took less than an hour and a half from Waikiki. My first grader was amazed to experience the cultures of various countries. It was a fantastic experience for both of us adults and the child! The evening show was quite impressive. I would recommend it to everyone going to Oahu. Mahalo!

孫1人を連れてハワイに行くので
初めて訪れました！ワイキキから意外と1時間半弱。いろんな国の文化に触れて小1の孫は目を輝かせていました。すごい良い体験できたし、大人の私たちも素晴らしい経験ができました！
夜のショーはなかなか圧巻。オアフに行く人にはみんなに勧めたいです。マハロ
