Oahu
Do not miss this opportunity to gaze into the Universe— it is transporting and transformative! Greg was incredibly knowledgeable and kind— such a perfect guide to take with you on this life changing experience! His passion is palpable and his astronomical equipment is out of this world— pun intended! ;). We have told everyone about this awesome activity and will absolutely be back to a Hawaii and back to see Greg, the craters on the moon, the rings of Saturn, and the moons of Jupiter! Thank you Stars Above Hawaii for creating such a special night for us!
Mahalo. Keep reaching for the stars !
Went ATV riding with a group of friends and we had a blast. The staff at the farm were were extremely nice and attentive to all of our needs. The farm had lots of cute and friendly approachable animals that you could feed. The equipment was easy to use and in good shape. I strongly recommend this place.
This is a great experience! All my friends, my husband and I had an unforgettable experience! The staffs are nice and sweet! The view at the destination and the animals are the bonus points!
This was me and my husband's first time riding an ATV, they do not throw you out there without training on how to ride the atv. They slowly start you off with a guide to make sure that you are safe to ride on your own. Then the exhilarating fun begins with screaming and a burst of zeal to finish the circle trail. This was a lot of fun and I recommend almost all ages to go. Also they take you by the ocean to ride as well as the trail. Oh I almost forgot!!! They have cool animals if you like to pet and feed them.
This tour was awesome, learned a lot during the tour about conservation and Hawaiian native plants. We got to off road quite a lot which I really enjoyed and also sight seeing throughout the tour which is great. Would highly recommend!
Since the trail tour at Kualoa Ranch was fully booked and I was planning to go to Haleiwa, I made a reservation here, which was available nearby. The staff explained how to operate the horse, but I couldn't understand any English at all. However, I was able to grasp the basic commands for the horse (go, stop, turn left, turn right) through gestures. Once we set off on the trail, our horse followed the staff's horse on its own, so we hardly needed to use the reins (the horse is smart!).
While swaying on the horse's back, I was able to slowly enjoy the view of the ocean through the pine forest by the beach, making it enjoyable even for someone with no riding experience. It's best to wear clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty, and keep your belongings to a minimum (no backpacks allowed; you can fit a phone and a water bottle in the saddlebag that hangs from the saddle).
クアロアランチのトレイルツアーが予約いっぱいでハレイワに行くつもりだったので近隣で予約可能だったこちらを予約。
対応してくれたスタッフが馬の操作方法を説明してくれましたがこちらは英語全く聞き取れず
しかし身振りでお馬さんの簡単な操作方法(進め・止まれ・右左ターン)は理解できましたしいざトレイルに出発するとスタッフの馬に我々の馬は勝手に追従してくれてほぼ、手綱操作は不要でした(お馬さん賢い!)
馬の背中に揺られながらゆっくりとビーチ横の松林を海を眺めてることができ乗馬未経験でも楽しむことができました。
服装・靴は汚れても良い格好で荷物も最小限(リュック不可で鞍に引っ掛けるサドルバッグにケータイと水筒が入るくらい)でいきましょう。
We had a blast ATV-ing at North shore stables! While you wait to get started they have a small petting zoo with goats, a pig, tortoise; and puppies which was a nice surprise. You can feed them as well. The view was gorgeous of the mountains and ocean. The staff was very nice and friendly. They have a track where you can go fast as well.
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!
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.
慣れない乗馬に最初は全神経を集中させるほど余裕がありませんでしたが、徐々に楽しめるようになりました。渓谷はもちろん、途中で通る海辺の景色も最高で自然を堪能できました。
Did the ATV tour at North Shore Stables and had a blast! They provided helmets, goggles, and boots. There's a rally area you can get some nice speed on with the ATVs - and some mud :) The guides were very nice and friendly, we dropped by an area to take photos along the coastline, and afterwards you can also see the farm animals! Overall a great time and highly recommend.
We enjoyed it very much! ATV was fun, we got to ride around the farm and then speed through the rally course afterwards! We did a ton of laps! The land was beautiful and also really enjoyed petting the baby goats afterwards. Good for families, couples, and friends!
Larger ATV the whole famliy can fit in! We loved the grounds of Kualoa Ranch
Full of fun, beautiful views, and fresh air up in the mountains!
It seems to be a popular activity, and even with a reservation made two weeks in advance, I couldn't get a morning start and had to book for after 1 PM. On the way to the location from the meeting point, there was heavy rain. By the time we arrived, it was just light rain. Luckily, the rain stopped before we departed.
Around lunchtime, there was a long line for ordering food, and I was worried about making it in time for my scheduled participation. It was the right decision to line up quickly after arriving. Before departure, we received a briefing and had our licenses checked. A Japanese driver's license is acceptable; an international driver's license is not necessary.
Finally, we set off. I had to chase after the car in front of me on the bumpy road, gripping the steering wheel tightly, which was tiring. I didn't feel much of a sense of exhilaration. At a rest stop along the way, there was an explanation related to movie shooting scenes, but I had only seen Jurassic Park and was completely lost.
It could have been a hassle if it had rained, but since the rain had stopped, there was little mud splatter and hardly any dirt. The leader at the front and the cheerful woman at the back were both very experienced. They talked a lot, but their fast pace made it hard to understand—about one-third of what they said. By the way, I have a TOEIC score of over 800.
The return bus time was predetermined, and we had to wait for about two hours. There were no souvenirs I wanted, so I just waited. It seemed that many people had come by car. I overheard a participant in the horseback riding course say, "I didn't think it would be this much fun" (in Japanese), which made me slightly regret not choosing that option.
人気があるアクティビティのようで、2週間前の予約でも午前スタートは取れず、午後13時過ぎの予約に。
集合場所から現地に向かう途中に激しい雨。到着時は小雨程度。出発時は雨が上がりラッキー。
お昼前後は昼食注文の長蛇の列で参加時刻に間に合うか、気を揉んだ。到着後、速やかに並ぶのが正解。
出発前に事前説明を受け、免許証の確認。日本の免許証でOK。国際免許証は不要。
いざ出発。前の車に後れないようにでこぼこ道を懸命に追いかける。ハンドルを目一杯握るので疲れる。爽快感はさほど感じなかった。
途中の休憩スポットで映画の撮影シーンと絡めた説明があるが、ジュラシックパーク以外は観ておらず、チンプンカンプン。
雨が降っていたら大変だったかも。雨が上がっていたので、泥ハネ少なく殆ど汚れなし。
先頭のリーダーと最後を見守るのは経験十分な陽気な女性二人。沢山喋ってくれるが早口で理解度1/3。因みに当方はTOEIC800以上。
帰りのバス時刻は予め指定されており、待つこと2時間ほど。欲しい土産物もなくただ待つのみ。乗用車で来た人が多いようです。
乗馬コース参加者が、「こんなに楽しいとは思わなかった」(日本語)と言っているのを小耳にはさんだので、「そちらにするんだった」とやや後悔。
We enjoyed our horseback ride on the beach. The scenery was beautiful, the ride easy. It wasn't 2 hours as advertised, closer to 1 hour 40 minutes, but still a nice ride. They make you wear helmets which I wish was optional because I didn't feel they were necessary since we only walked the horses and the horses were very gentle. It would have been nice if we could have run the horses, but with beginner riders on the trip I understand that that was not an option and they let you know it's walking only. Our guide Ella was very friendly. Overall we were pleased with the ride.
I applied with excitement to enjoy the movie filming location. Following the misty mountains was a wonderful experience that captivated me with nature and horses.
映画の撮影現場を楽しみに申込みました。霧深い山々を辿るのは自然と馬に魅せられる素晴らしい体験でした。
The crew was very knowledgeable and made every extra effort to find fish. We caught a mahi
I had more fun piloting than I expected. The staff who provided transportation were Japanese, and they were very friendly and nice.
思ったより長く操縦出来て楽しかったです。
送迎のスタッフも日本の方で、非常に親しみやすく良かったです。
I experienced this three years ago and had so much fun that I decided to try it again. There were no single-person buggies available, only the six-person ones, but I still enjoyed the long journey with the beautiful scenery and thrills. The staff seemed to be making an effort to entertain us. As expected, there were few Japanese people, so a certain level of language skills was necessary! I relied on Pocketalk. I would love to go again if single-person buggies are available again.
3年前に体験して凄く楽しかったので再びチャレンジ 1人用のバギーはなくて6人乗りのみでしたが、それでも長い長い道のりで景色やスリルが楽しめました。スタッフさんも楽しませようと頑張っている感じでした さすがに日本人は少なくある程度の語学力が必要でした!私はポケトークのお世話になりました。 又1人用バギーが再開されたら行きたいですね
It was beautiful my first time riding a horse but she was very patient and helpful, we stopped next to the water to get photos and that was amazing, i can’t remember her name but she had short dark hair and was amazing telling us all about the land horses my husband and myself enjoyed it very much and would recommend it it was the sundown ride, it was so relaxing and we talked the whole time, thank you so much it was a great ending to a birthday
Our tour guides were great especially Matt. He was friendly and personable. Kildra was great too but more on the serious side. I understand however that it comes with the territory as you need to move along quickly and safely without trying to make it seem so. They made a good team.
My boys loved the excursion and it was the perfect opportunity for us to bond. We appreciate the opportunity to be on the sacred grounds. We also appreciate the knowledge that was fed to us about the importance of this area, along with the cool movie stuff.
Only down fall, my wife and and found out the previous night we are expecting a child and she wasn’t able to join us. We already paid and when I explained this to the checkin desk, they didn’t care. I understand if I was canceling the day off to not be reimbursed, however in this situation/circumstance we could have been offered our money back for one ticket.
Overall great time,
Thank you!
This past weekend was mine and my daughters first time at Coral Crater Adventure Park doing the 3-line zip line tour, and it was a really fun experience! Definitely one of the most memorable experiences of our whole trip. We had tour guides Ethan and Holly, and they were literally amazing from start to finish on how they gave instructions, information about the establishment and zip lining, and overall great characters to be around. They made us feel comfortable, confident, like we were all a bunch of friends out having a good time on a nature adventure, and their jokes took the edge off of any fears of heights, etc that we had. At the establishment, there’s a lot of places to take photos. There’s some hibiscus bushes, plumeria trees, banana tree, mini goat coral and lots of chickens and roosters running around. I’d definitely recommend wearing shoes you REALLY don’t mind getting dirty lol because they will get muddy. This place is an experience I’d recommend.
You can ride horses while enjoying the beautiful sea of the North Shore! The instructions are in English, but I think you can figure out how to ride. I took my 9-year-old child, and they had a great time. They also took a lot of pictures, which made for wonderful memories!
North shoreのきれいな海を見ながら馬に乗れます!
英語のみの案内ですが乗り方などはなんとなくわかると思います。
9歳の子どもを連れて行きましたが、とても楽しんでいました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくれていい思い出になりました!
I originally planned to go with a buggy, but since the reservations were full, I joined this tour instead. I was worried because it was my first time on an electric bike, but I got used to it quickly, so it wasn't a problem. We rode on mountain roads, and the power of the electric bike was amazing; I think even people who don't usually exercise would be fine. The scenery was beautiful, and we were blessed with good weather, which made it the best experience.
元々バギーにする予定でしたが予約がいっぱいだったのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。
初めての電動バイクだったので心配でしたがすぐに慣れたので問題なかったです。
山道を走りますが電動バイクのパワーはすごく普段運動しない人でも大丈夫だと思います。
景色もよく天気にも恵まれたのもあり最高でした。
Our visit to Kualoa Ranch was fabulous. We did a ziplining tour and it was incredible! We had never ziplined before but our guides explained it all and made us feel very safe.
The scenery was amazing, zipping over trees and terrain. You get a nice tour of some movie locations - such as Juraasic Park - on the way to and from the ziplines.
I highly recommend this adventure!
It was an awesome ebike tour. Our tour guide (young lady) was excellent.
5 star tour.
The intermediate tour was not different but it was fun, which is what we expect on vacation.
Amazing tour. So much fun. The people who work there are so friendly and fun. Definitely want to go back.
Wow!!! Let's start by saying Wow!!! This is a bucket list must! An this is the best place to ride in a glider. You won't regret it. All the guys that work here are so friendly. Very knowledgeable and very helpful. And Mr. Bill is such a character. He was very funny great sense of humor great personality. Place is well-maintained as even restrooms. And if you have to wait you can walk across the street to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. You've got to try this. The views from the plane ride are breathtaking. You can see mountains, beach and on a clear sunny day the island of Kauai. Once you get up in the air it's quiet and beautiful. It's a touch of Heaven.
I rode my bike through the spacious grounds, and it felt great! I took a lot of photos at filming locations like Jurassic Park and stunning viewpoints. Hawaii has not only beautiful beaches but also magnificent mountains and nature!
広い敷地を自転車で駆け抜け、とても気持ち良かったです!
ジュラシックパーク等映画の撮影場所や絶景スポットでたくさん写真を撮りました。
ハワイは海だけでなく、山の大自然も素晴らしいです!
