The guide was fluent in Japanese and made some great jokes, which was a wonderful start! It was a tour that took us to places we wouldn't have been able to go on our own. The guide provided detailed information about each location's features and recommended shops, and after giving us a thorough tour from the car, they dropped us off, making it very convenient. I was really happy to see turtles in a place that wasn't even on the tour route. I would love to join again if I have the chance. Thank you very much!
ガイドさんは、日本語ペラペラでギャグかましてくれたり良い始まりでした!自分達ではなかなかでは行けないところに連れて行ってくれるツアーでした。それぞれの特徴やそこでのお勧めのお店なども詳しく、車に乗ったまま一通り案内してくれた後降ろしてくれたので、回りやすくて大変助かりました。ツアーコースには入っていない?所で亀を見せてくれてすごく嬉しかったです。またチャンスがあれば参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。
I think it's better to have plenty of hats and water since you'll be getting on and off a lot. I was able to keep my belongings on the train, which allowed me to move around freely.

I participated in the 6:30 AM tour. I was more worried about seasickness than the sharks, as I had read in reviews that it could be severe. In the end, the boat and the cage did sway, but perhaps because it was morning, I managed to cope with the slight rocking. On the way back, I dozed off, but my child said they saw dolphins.
Regarding the number of sharks, I thought I wouldn't see many, but it seems there is a way to attract them, and we were able to see quite a few. The moment I first saw the silhouette glowing in fluorescent colors from the sunrise above the boat was the scariest, but since the sharks weren't charging at the cage, I was reasonably satisfied.
Additionally, I brought my own snorkeling set, as mentioned in the reviews. I also got to see the beautiful morning scenery of the North and saw plenty of sharks, so I was very satisfied with this experience.
朝6:30のツアーに参加しました。
口コミより、船酔いがひどいとあったので鮫よりもそちらの心配ばかりしていました。
結果、船もゲージも確かに揺れはしましたが朝だったおかげか多少の揺れで乗り切れました。帰りは居眠りしていたのですが、子どもが言うにはイルカも見えたようです。
鮫の量については、なんだかんだそんなに見られないかと思っていましたが、呼び寄せ方があるようでたくさん見ることができました。
先に船の上から朝日で蛍光色に浮かび上がるシルエットを見た時が1番怖さを感じたのですが、ゲージにガシガシ突進してくる鮫ではなかったので、程よく満足。
加えて、口コミにもあったのでシュノーケルセットは持ち込みました。
ノースの綺麗な朝の景色も見られ、鮫もたくさん見たのでこの1回で大満足です。
Just to be safe, it might be a good idea to bring candy and a snorkeling set. I didn't understand what was being said in the English explanation, but it simply means not to extend your arms and legs,
念のため飴とシュノーケルセットを持参すればよいかと。
英語の説明で何を言ってるかわからなかったのですが、単に手足を出すなと言うことと、足の置き場があるので、シュノーケルをセットしたら潜って見るだけです

I used this service for my honeymoon trip on July 28, 2025.
First of all, our driver, Jonah, was incredibly kind and spoke Japanese very well. It was enjoyable to hear little local insights while we drove around to various photo spots.
Along the way, we stopped at the Kahuku Sugar Mill and Haleiwa Town, which had many shops. It was helpful that Jonah recommended some places for us.
Although it was a one-day tour, he played music during the drive and allowed us to take breaks, which was great for recharging our energy.
Personally, I think sandals might be a good choice since we also stopped by the beach. We took photos with just our feet in the water at Sunset Beach.
He also introduced us to some recommended places around Waikiki, like "Maguro Brothers" (for poke bowls) and "Aloha Kitchen" (where we had eggs benedict and fruit soufflé pancakes), both of which were delicious!
Without a car, it would be quite difficult to get around on your own, so this tour was packed into one day and left us very satisfied! We were able to fit in lots of photos, great food, souvenirs, and memories!
Thank you, Jonah!

とにかくドライバーのジョナさんが親切で、日本語が上手で、写真スポットを巡りながら、ドライブ中の地元の人しか知らないプチ情報を聞くのも楽しかったです。
途中のカフク砂糖工場や、ハレイワタウンではたくさんのお店がありましたが、おすすめを紹介してくれたので助かりました。

I recommend sandals. If you're going into the sea, I think clothes that can be rolled up, like shorts or a dress, are good! It seems better to have a towel, sunscreen, and drinks as well!

The guide shared various stories about Hawaii during the trip, which was very informative. In Haleiwa Town, we were first given a tour of the restrooms and attractions by car, and then we had free time to explore, so we could enjoy sightseeing without getting lost. I think it was a good decision to take the tour since it would take a long time to go by bus.
道中にガイドさんがいろいろなハワイの話をしてくれて勉強になりました。ハレイワタウンも最初に車で一通りトイレや見どころなどの案内をされてから自由行動でしたので、迷わずに観光できました。バスで行くと時間がかかるのでツアーにしてよかったと思います。

First, regarding the location, it's fine to meet at the intersection with traffic lights. There’s a sign right nearby.
The guide is really great, so even those who are not good at English will be totally fine.
It's a more authentic course than you might think. Your clothes and face will get dirty. At the end, there are wet wipes available, and there’s also a simple wash station to clean up. I've been to Hawaii several times, but this is the most interesting experience, so I highly recommend it to everyone. It’s about a 40 to 50-minute taxi ride from Waikiki hotels, costing around $60.

Our guide, Jonah, was very kind and taught us many things while we were sightseeing! This is my fifth time in Hawaii, but I discover something new every time. I think this slightly niche plan is great for those who have visited several times, as it offers a classic experience with a little extra!
For lunch, there are not only Giovanni's garlic shrimp but also many food trucks, which is fantastic. My daughter had pizza, I had a shrimp and poke bowl, and my husband had the large burger in the photo.
There are also restrooms conveniently located, so I think families with children can participate without worry. Every time, the tours from Veltra have been a hit!

It was a concentrated tour that allowed us to enjoy pineapples and various sightseeing spots in Hawaii. I signed up for the tour because I wanted to visit the Dole fields and factory, and I felt it was at a satisfying level, providing even more experiences than I expected.
From our hotel in Waikiki, we took a car, and the guide, who was alone, had an incredible amount of knowledge about the various famous spots in Hawaii along the way, including the Dole fields and factory.
It seems that Dole is a different company from the Dole Plantation, which is a tourist attraction across the street. I mistakenly thought that if we went to the Dole Plantation ourselves, we could have the same factory tour. Since we wouldn't have been able to visit the fields and factory without signing up for this tour, I believe it was a valuable experience. (After the factory tour, we had a little time to visit the Dole Plantation, where we could also buy souvenirs.)
At the fields, we were able to see the harvesting and had fresh pineapples cut right there. After the factory tour, we enjoyed cold cut pineapples and straight pineapple juice produced at the factory, which made me very happy. (They also offer coffee and chocolate tastings, and there are some small souvenirs for sale.)
After that, we went to Haleiwa for some free time, and later at the macadamia nut souvenir shop, we could taste many samples and buy souvenirs. Additionally, we visited two coffee shops where we had restroom breaks and could taste a lot of coffee.
On the way back, we took photos of King Kamehameha and, even from the car, we could see Hawaii's Izumo Taisha, Chinatown, and wall art while listening to the guide share a lot about Hawaii's history, which was educational.
I think it was a very fulfilling day.
パイナップルづくしと各所のハワイ観光ができて濃縮したツアーでした。
ドールの畑や工場見学がしたくて、申し込んだツアーでしたが、満足できるレベルでしたし、それ以上の体験ができたと感じています。
ワイキキのホテルから車に乗って、道中の所々のハワイの名所からドールの畑や工場の案内まで、お一人でされていたガイドさんの知識量は凄かったです。
ドールは畑・工場と、向かい側にある観光名所のドールプランテーションとは違う会社のようで、自分たちでドールプランテーションに行けば同じ工場見学ができると勘違いしていました。今回のツアーに申し込まないと畑と工場の見学はできないので、貴重な体験だったと思います。(工場見学後にドールプランテーションにも少し行く時間があったので、そちらのお土産も買うことができました。)
畑では収穫の見学時に畑のパイナップルをその場でカットしていただけて、工場見学後も冷たいカットパインと工場で製造しているストレートのパイナップルジュースをいただけてパイナップルづくしで幸せでした。(コーヒーやチョコレートの試食、ちょっとしたお土産も売っています。)
その後、ハレイワに行って自由行動と、その後、マカダミアナッツのお土産屋さんではたくさん試食ができてお土産も買えました。
その他にも二か所コーヒーショップに行けてトイレ休憩もコーヒーの試飲がたくさんできました。
帰りはカメハメハ大王の写真を撮ったり、車中からでも、ハワイの出雲大社、チャイナタウン、ウォールアートを見ながら帰れましたし、ガイドさんのハワイの歴史をたくさん聞きながら勉強にもなりました。
とても、充実した1日になったと思います。
Free time goes by quickly, so it's a good idea to decide where you want to go in advance. Also, since I received a whole pineapple as a souvenir, I felt it was great to have brought a cutting board an
自由行動の時間はあっという間なので、どこに行きたいか決めておくと良いです。

I participated alone, even though my English is not very good.
The email you receive upon confirming your reservation is entirely in English. I translated it to read. If you are being picked up by a bus, there should be a link to the meeting point pin. I handed the driver a tip while shaking hands as I got off.
After arriving, I checked in using an iPad. I wasn't sure about the ID, but a Japanese staff member at the reception wrote it down for me.
I heard that the conditions were good and that we could increase the altitude, but I had to give up because I couldn't use my JCB card.
All luggage is placed in lockers with locks. The tip for the instructor is given after the experience, in an envelope along with a commemorative item, which is then placed in a transparent letterbox.
I didn't feel nauseous while in the air, but I felt really groggy right after returning to the ground... I calmed down by drinking water and staying still.
During the free fall, the wind pressure made my face hurt! I didn't have much time to look around. However, I think the scenery was beautiful!!
After the parachute opened, my hips started to hurt... I was able to look around and felt very calm while taking in the surroundings. The sea was particularly sparkling and beautiful! Just seeing that made me satisfied.
There are stories about life-changing experiences, but I don't think I changed particularly. However, I am grateful for the wonderful experience and to the instructor who safely brought me back to the ground.
英語もままならない中、ひとりで参加してきました。
予約確定時に届くメールは全文英語です。翻訳にかけて読みました。バスで拾ってもらう場合は、集合場所のピンのリンクが載っているはずです。運転手さんには降りる際握手すると同時にチップをお渡ししました。

This was my second visit to the North Shore. Last time, it was part of a tour, and we only had about two hours, just enough time to eat garlic shrimp and Matsumoto Shave Ice.
This time, my goal was to have Huli Huli chicken, take photos at the Haleiwa sign, have a surfing lesson, and leisurely explore the North Shore. I was worried about renting a car, and taking the bus would be a waste of time... I thought I’d be tired on the way back... so how would I get to the Haleiwa sign? That’s why I chose this tour with Veltra.
With two groups participating, we arrived around 8:30 AM, and the driver kindly took us to the Haleiwa Town sign first, as I wanted to take photos with my whole family there. I was very happy about that.
There are some shops that open at 9 AM, but it seems the Huli Huli chicken place opens around 9:45, so we had about 30 minutes to walk around Haleiwa Town. By lunchtime, there was a huge line, so it was great that we arrived early.
The chicken was crispy, juicy, and very delicious. It was quite filling. We split into two groups for the surfing lesson and exploring Haleiwa Town & mini tour. The other group seemed to go snorkeling, so it ended up being just my mother and me for the mini tour, and they adjusted the timing for us.
This mini tour exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend participating if you have no other plans! The additive-free soap from the soap factory was incredibly good for my sunburned skin during my stay in Hawaii, and I wish I had bought more. We enjoyed tasting and touring at the coffee factory, and the park with balance rocks was surrounded by magnificent nature, which was very healing. Luckily, we saw three sea turtles basking in the clear water! It would have been difficult to get there on my own, and I couldn’t walk for long in the heat, so I was glad I participated.
On the way back, the driver kindly asked if they should pick us up at the beach for the surfing lesson. Although it was a different company, the surfing lesson seemed to be very good, and my whole family enjoyed it.
If I could wish for anything, it would be to have one more hour to relax, but overall, it was a very satisfying experience at the North Shore! Thanks to our kind driver. Thank you!
ノースショアは2回目のリベンジです。前回はツアーに組み込まれており、2時間ほどしかなく、ガーリックシュリンプとマツモトシェイブアイスを食べて終わりました。
今回の目的はフリフリチキンと、ハレイワ看板で写真、サーフィンレッスン、ノースショアをゆっくり散策したい、です。
レンタカーは怖いし、バスは時間のロス…帰り疲れてそうだし…ハレイワの看板まで何で行く?…ということでこのベルトラのツアーにしました。
2組の参加で朝8:30頃には到着し、ドライバーさんにワガママを言って先にハレイワタウンの看板まで連れてってくださいました。家族全員で看板と写真を撮りたかったのでとても嬉しかったです。
9時からオープンのお店も所々ありますが、フリフリチキンは9:45頃開店らしいので、30分ほど持て余しハレイワタウンを歩きました。お昼頃は大行列になってたので朝早くて良かったです。
チキンはパリパリジューシーでとても美味しかったです。ボリュームたっぷりでした。

もう一組の参加者はシュノーケルに行ったみたいで、ミニツアーは母と2人だけの貸切でしたので、時間も合わせてくださいました。

ソープファクトリーの無添加石鹸が、ハワイ滞在中の日焼けで荒れた肌に、ものすごく良くてもっと買えばよかったです。コーヒーファクトリーで試飲と見学を楽しみ、バランスロックのある公園が壮大な自然で、自然に癒されました。運良く透明度の高い海でホヌ3匹が甲羅干しをしているのを見れました!自力では行きにくく、暑さで長く歩けなかったので、参加して良かったです。
帰りにサーフィンレッスンのビーチまで迎えに行こうかと聞いてくださり優しかったです。別の会社ですが、サーフィンレッスンもとっても良かったみたいで、家族全員楽しめました。
欲を言えば、もうあと1時間あれば余裕があって嬉しいですが、全体的にとても満足のいくノースショアになりました!
親切なドライバーさんのおかげです。
ありがとうございました!
Since it opens at almost 10 AM, it's a good idea to research what you want to do and which stores to visit in advance to avoid wasting time. Be sure to join the mini tour! If you're going, I recommend

I was a bit anxious about horseback riding in the blazing sun, so I chose the sunset time. It turned out to be a great decision! The breeze was pleasant, and the scenery was truly beautiful.
I met a slightly free-spirited horse. However, the instructor was always nearby, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy the experience.
At a spot where the sunset reflected beautifully, I was able to take a lot of pictures (even though I was wearing a helmet... haha), creating wonderful memories.

Having a private guide made the tour that much better, such a great location to kayak!

It was the best experience. It was my first dive, and it's a feeling you can't experience with other activities, so I definitely recommend it. The price is a bit steep, though, haha. The instructor spoke English and was very kind, so I managed to get through it, haha.
最高の体験でした。初めてのダイブでしたが、他のアクティビティでは経験できない感覚なのでぜひおすすめです。値段は貼りますが笑。英語インストラクターですが、とても優しいのでなんとか乗り切れました笑

It was amazing! There are so many shops I want to visit in Haleiwa Town, and I think it would be even better if we had a bit more free time!
最高でした!ハレイワタウンで寄りたいお店がたくさんあり、自由時間がもう少し長いとさらに良いと思います!

"Be punctual."
I had a stomachache in the morning and informed them that I needed to go to the restroom, but I ended up being three minutes late to the meeting time. After that, I was subjected to snide remarks in the car.
If I were to hear such comments on my honeymoon, it would really ruin my mood. When I tried to give a tip that corresponded to the service, I was told, "I don't need it!" which left me feeling quite unpleasant.
I only handed over a tip for the service, but it seemed like there was a requirement to give at least $20 in the car. I was filled with the feeling of, "What? After making me feel this way?"
I think it could be fun if you get a good guide, but since this isn't a cheap tour, I would recommend avoiding tours where you might get lucky or unlucky.
Personally, I won't be using this service again.
「時間厳守」
朝お腹が痛くなりトイレ行ってきます。とお伝えし、集合時間に3分遅れてしまったのですが、その後の車の中でぐちぐち嫌味を言われました。
新婚旅行でそんな嫌味を言われたら気分も悪くなり、サービスに相当するチップを渡したら「いらないよ!」といわれ、かなり嫌な気持ちになりました。
サービスに対するチップを渡しただけなのですが、車の中には最低20ドルを出してください。と記載がされていた様で、「え?こんな思いさせといて?」という気持ちでいっぱいです。
ガイドさんが当たれば楽しいと思いますが
安いツアーでもないので当たり外れがあるツアーを申し込みするくらいなら、やめた方がいい思います笑
個人的には、もう利用しません。
I think it's a tour where the quality of the guide can vary.
ガイドに当たり外れがあるツアーだと思います。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Island Makana Tours. We apologize for any discomfort you may have experienced. There is information regarding tips inside the vehicle (as this is a culture not present in Japan, we often receive requests for clarification). There is no mention of a minimum of $20, so we would like to correct that. Thank you for your valuable feedback.
このたびはアイランドマカナツアーズのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。お客様に不快な思いをさせてしまい、申し訳ありませんでした。車内にチップに対するご案内があります(日本にない文化ですので、わからないから教えて欲しいと言われる事が多い為)。最低20ドルを~という記載はありませんので、訂正させていただきます。貴重なご意見、ありがとうございました。

This tour allows you to fully enjoy Haleiwa. There is plenty of time, and the mini tour takes you to places that are not accessible on foot, so I was really satisfied. Since I participated on a Sunday, I finally got to try the famous Huli Huli chicken. It was delicious.
ハレイワを存分に満喫出来るツアーです。
時間はたっぷりあるし、ミニツアーでは、徒歩では行けない場所を案内して頂けるので、ほんとに大満足でした。
今回は日曜日に参加したので、念願のフリフリチキン。
美味しかったです。
For the course that departs at 7:30, there are some shops that are not open yet, so I think it's a good idea to check the business hours before choosing a course.
7時30分発のコースだと、まだオープンしていないお店があるので、営業時間を確認してからコースを選ぶといいと思います。

I had a great time with 90 minutes at Dole and 120 minutes at Haleiwa, and the driver was very proficient in Japanese. I was satisfied to finally enjoy the Dole train and the Huli Huli chicken in Haleiwa!
ドール90分、ハレイワ120分とゆっくり時間が取ってあり、かつ、日本語に堪能なドライバーさんで大変良かったです。念願のドールのトレインとハレイワのフリフリチキンが食べられて満足しました!
Thank you very much for participating in our Haleiwa Express & Dole Plantation Tour. We are honored that we could provide guidance in Japanese. It was truly wonderful that you were able to enjoy the train ride and meal at Dole, which you had been looking forward to. Thank you for your review as well. We look forward to welcoming you both back to Hawaii.
