All Reviews for Trolley & Shuttle to Attractions

It was great to have round trip transportation and everything provided such as waters, walking sticks, and bug spray. It was pouring rain when we went and the rain ponchos came in handy for $5. We felt very prepared for the hike along with information of its history and movie sites to look for. Was an enjoyable time

We participated in a tour as a couple aged 68 and 65. It was our first experience with horseback riding, but there was one assistant for every four people, so it was easy to just follow along without any issues.

Once we got from the ranch to the coast, we were able to see the beautiful blue sea from a high vantage point. While enjoying the view of the ocean, we had a fun time leisurely riding the horses. The horses were accustomed to carrying people, so we just had to maintain our balance. We only needed to slightly change direction or move the reins when stopping. The 70 minutes flew by.

After horseback riding, we went to Haleiwa and tried the garlic shrimp and fries combo from a food truck recommended by our driver, Kazu. It was truly wonderful.

68歳と65歳の夫婦でツアーに参加しました。乗馬は全くの初体験でしたが、4名に1名のアシスタントがいて、ただついて行くだけでしたので問題ありませんでした。
牧場から海岸に出ると、真っ青なきれいな海を高い位置から見ることができました。海を見ながら、馬に任せて楽しく散策できました。
人を乗せるのに慣れた馬のため、ただバランスをとって乗っているだけでした。ほんの少しだけ方向を変えたり、止まるときに手綱を動かすだけですみました。70分はあっという間でした。
乗馬の後でハレイワにいき、ドライバーの一（かず）さんおすすめ、テレビでも紹介されたというキッチンカーでガーリックシュリンプとフライのコンボを食べました。本当によかったです。

It exceeded my expectations. I participated in two activities, snorkeling and kayaking, in the morning and afternoon. During the bus ride, the driver provided fun explanations and conversations, making the journey enjoyable without getting bored (the driver was incredibly funny and friendly). They were busy giving us sightseeing information, pointing out things to the right and left.

However, there was one issue: at the snorkeling site, the tour description stated that "life jackets are available for free," but I was told that this was not included in the tour price. Even when I mentioned it was written on the voucher, they insisted it was different. Originally, it would have been $10, but since we came on the tour bus, they said it would be $7. There were only my husband and me as Japanese participants; the others were foreigners, and since no one else seemed to say anything, I wondered if they had booked through a different company.

A Japanese staff member was in charge and kindly said, "I'm Japanese, so please let me know if you need anything," which felt a bit strange. I was left wondering if what was written on Veltra was incorrect or if there was a communication issue... It left me feeling uncomfortable.

As for the snorkeling itself, I was able to see turtles and various fish, which was enjoyable. For lunch, I had garlic shrimp from the snorkeling side, and they were huge and delicious! However, there were many chickens running around nearby, and as someone who isn't fond of them, I couldn't fully enjoy my meal. The chickens seemed accustomed to humans and appeared from all over.

The afternoon activity was kayaking, which I had never done before, but I had a lot of fun. At a break during the morning, we stopped by a macadamia nut shop that had Kona coffee, which I couldn't find even in Waikiki. I tasted it and bought some immediately. We also briefly stopped at a place selling fresh fruit in Ziploc bags, where everyone was buying and eating papayas.

Aside from the issue with the life jackets, it was a very enjoyable tour.

期待していた以上の内容でした。
午前と午後のアクティビティ、計２つ、スノーケリングとカヤックに参加しました。
バスで移動する間もドライバーさんの楽しい説明と会話で、飽きることなく楽しめました（すごい面白くてフレンドリーなドライバーさんでした）。
右に左に忙しいくらい、観光案内してくれました。
ただひとつ、スノーケリングのところで、ツアー説明には「ライフジャケットは無料で貸し出しします」と書いてあったのに、ツアー代金にそれは含まれていない、と言われ、バウチャーに書いてあると言っても違うと言われ、本来なら10ドルのところ、ツアーバスで来てるから7ドルでOKと言われました。
日本人の参加者は私たち夫婦だけで、他は外国人で、他の人は特に何も言ってなかったので、申し込んだ会社が違うのかなと思いましたが…。
日本人の人が担当で、「私は日本人なので、何かあれば言ってください」とフレンドリーに声かけてきたのですご、なんだかね、って感じでした。
ベルトラに書かれていることが間違っていたのか、あるいは、連絡がうまく伝わっていないのか…不快な気持ちになりました。
スノーケリング自体は、タートルも見られたし魚も色々見られて楽しめました。
スノーケリングの側のガーリックシュリンプをお昼に食べましたが、すごく大きいシュリンプで美味しかったです！
ただ、そばには鶏がたくさん走り回っていて、苦手な私は食事を楽しむことはできませんでしたが。
鶏は人間に慣れているのか、あちこちから神出鬼没でした。
午後のアクティビティはカヤック、初めてでしたがとても楽しめました。
午前中途中の休憩で寄ったマカデミアナッツのお店にはワイキキで探してもなかったコナコーヒーをまぶしたのがあり、味見して、即購入しました。
途中で、ジップロックに入ったフレッシュフルーツを売ってるところにもちょっとだけ立ち寄ってくれ、みなさん、パパイヤを買って食べてました。
ライフジャケットの件を除いては、とても楽しめたツアーでした。

At first, I thought the price was high, but my first horseback riding experience was very enjoyable. Sota from Veltra and the horseback riding staff provided thorough explanations, and I believe the value exceeded the cost. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

最初は金額が高くて、どうかな？と思いましたが、
初めての乗馬でとても楽しく、ベルトラのそうたさんも乗馬スタッフの方々も丁寧に説明して頂き、
料金の値は超えてると思います。楽しい思い出をありがとうございました。

I was picked up on time and went from the Dole Plantation to the town of Haleiwa. After getting a brief explanation of the town, we split into groups, and I joined the beach horseback riding plan. Although the explanation was in English, the guide was very helpful, so there were no issues. The horseback riding lasted well over 70 minutes, and the beauty of the coastline was beyond words. On the way back to Haleiwa, we ordered lunch, the garlic shrimp combo, by phone to reduce wait time. I was also able to do some shopping at Patagonia!

時間どおりにお迎えに来てもらってドールプランテーションからハレイワの町へ
ひととおり町を説明してもらった後　散策組と分かれて海辺乗馬プランに。
英語の説明だけどガイドさんがちゃんと教えてくれて問題無し。
70分をゆうに上回る乗馬　海岸の綺麗さは言うまでも有りません。
終わってハレイワに戻る間にランチ　ガーリックシュリンプコンボを電話注文してくれて待ち時間短縮。
patagoniaでお買い物も出来ました！

This was my third trip to Hawaii, and I finally got to experience horseback riding, which I had been looking forward to. During the transfer, the driver shared various interesting information while driving, and I enjoyed listening while taking in the scenery. I was quite anxious about whether I would be okay with horseback riding and the horses, but they were very well-behaved. At first, I didn't have the luxury to enjoy the views, but once I got used to it, I was able to see the beautiful ocean and take videos. It was an option that left me very satisfied. I definitely want everyone to experience this!

ハワイ旅行3回目にしてやっと念願の乗馬体験ができました。
送迎中も色々な情報を運転しながら話してくださったりしてとても興味深く景色を見ながら聞いていました。
乗馬もお馬さんも大丈夫なのかとても不安でしたが、とてもお利口さんでした。
景色も始めは見る余裕もありませんでしたが、慣れてきたら綺麗な海をみたり、動画を撮ったり　大満足のオプションでした。
是非皆さんに体験してほしいです。

I took the Red Line and got off at the Honolulu Museum of Art, then rode from the museum to the Waikiki Shopping Plaza. It took some time, but I was able to stop at several places to take photos, and although the explanations were in English, it was nice to enjoy a leisurely sightseeing experience.

レッドラインに乗ってワイキキ美術館で降りてまたワイキキ美術館からワイキキショッピングプラザまで乗りました。時間はかかってしまいますが、
途中何ヶ所か止まって写真撮れたり、英語ですが説明をしてくれたり、のんびり観光できて良かったです。

It was my first time horseback riding, but the guide explained how to ride in the car, so I was able to do it without any difficulty. Riding while looking at the blue ocean was incredibly pleasant! The horses were well-groomed and very obedient.

Unfortunately, I couldn't spot any sea turtles at the beach where they come up for air, but in Haleiwa, I had a reservation at a delicious garlic shrimp restaurant, and it was really tasty. However, there definitely wasn't enough time to visit all the restaurants. I recommend doing some research on what places are available and where to go.

At Dole, the line for the pineapple ice cream was very long, so I think you need to get in line right away after getting off to make sure you can return in time.

初めての乗馬でしたが、車の中でガイドさんが乗り方を説明してくれたので、難なくのれました。青い海を横目に見ながらの乗馬はとにかく気持ちよかったです！馬は綺麗に手入れされ聞き分けの良い子たちでしたよ。
海亀が息継ぎのために顔を出すビーチでは残念ながら目撃できませんでしたが、ハレイワではガーリックシュリンプの美味しい店を予約していただき、そこがとても美味しかったです。
ただ時間が足りなくて、店を回りきれないのは確実です。どんな店があるのか、どこに入るのか下調べしていくことをおすすめします。
ドールではパインアイスが長蛇の列だったので、降りたらすぐに並ばないと時間までに戻れないと思います。

I felt reassured that the guide explained everything in Japanese from the start! The information about Dole Plantation and Haleiwa was detailed and informative, making it easy to explore!

最初から日本語のガイドで丁寧に説明してくれて安心でした！
ドールプランテーションもハレイワの情報も詳細で勉強になりましたし観光しやすかったです！

easy quick hike to a gorgeous fall! a bit of rocky terrain to be weary

Oahu is so beautiful- Diamondhead is a must see but to add the Makapuu Lighthouse was an easy transfer for my day

Website easy to use.
Driver on time, and very helpful with local area.
Told him what we wanted to see and do, and he accommodated with ease.
Got stuck in traffic driving up the North shore, so he stayed a little longer for us.

I wish I could have received more detailed information about Haleiwa Town, such as maps and travel time distribution. We did a quick tour around the town, but the explanations and movements were fast, and before I knew it, we had free time, which made me a bit flustered. However, seeing how quickly the parking lot filled up with cars by noon made me understand the urgency. Thank you for your help.

ハレイワタウンの詳しい情報を　地図や移動時間の配分など伺えたらよかったなあ　と少し思いました　現地の町中を1周してくださいましたが　説明や移動が速くあっという間に自由行動となり　慌てました。　ですが　昼にはたくさんの車があつまりあっという間に駐車場は混雑しているのを見ると慌てていらっしゃるのも理解できました。お世話になりました

I chose a seaside horseback riding course, and I was able to ride with peace of mind on a very well-behaved horse. The guide also acted as an interpreter for the local staff, which made everything easy to understand. Additionally, they made a reservation for lunch, and I was able to enjoy the popular garlic shrimp with no waiting time. They also explained the locations of shops in the city, making for a very fulfilling day.

海辺の乗馬コースを選びましたが、とてもお利口な馬で安心して乗馬できました。ガイドさんが現地のスタッフさんの通訳もしてくださり、わかりやすかったです。
また、ランチの予約もしてくださり、食べたかった人気のガーリックシュリンプも待ち時間0で食べられました。街のショップの場所も説明いただき、とても充実した1日になりました。

Cousin Lisa is very knowledgeable and very friendly
She is a skillful driver

Horseback riding while enjoying the stunning coastal views is highly recommended. There were seven participants at the same time, but we were divided into two groups of three and four, with an instructor accompanying each group, which was reassuring. The instructions are given in English only, so those who are completely new to horseback riding and not confident in their English may feel a bit anxious. However, the horses understand well, and if anything happens, the instructor will come right away, so you’ll be fine.

海沿いの絶景を堪能しながらの乗馬は絶対おすすめです。　同じ時間で7人参加でしたが、3人と4人の2グループに分かれてインストラクターの方が着いてくれるので安心です。　説明は普通に英語のみなので、全く乗馬が初めてかつ英語に自信が無い方は焦ってしまうかもしれませんが、馬の方が良くわかっていますし、何かあればすぐにインストラクターの方が来てくれるので大丈夫です。

I wish that the tour gave a bit more time as I felt a bit rushed at the top of Diamondhead. As well note that Diamondheads trail is pretty unpaved and rocky.

Our driver was amazing. So kind and friendly. The hike was beautiful. Definitely worth doing if you are in the area. I would do it again.

Wonderful trip with lots of information shared with our group. Very comfortable on the bus. She did a great job!

The cheerful driver provides sightseeing explanations in English at key points. If you want to see the city, take the Red Line. For local dining, use the Green Line, and for views of Diamond Head's crater and the East Coast, take the Blue Line. It's a bit pricey, but it's an efficient way to tour, and it's safe, so I'm glad I took it every day. I definitely got my money's worth! By the way, during the first week of my stay, I used the trolley, and in the second week, I used the local bus. The trolley is a relaxed way to travel and is definitely fun!

陽気なドライバーさんが要所要所で英語で観光説明してくれます。街を見るならレッドライン。ローカルダイニングに行くならグリーンライン、ダイアモンドヘッドのクレーターや東海岸の景色
ならブルーライン。少しお値段は高いけど、効率良く観光できて、治安も安全なので、毎日これに乗って良かった。しっかりと元を取れましたよ！
ちなみに、滞在1週間目はトローリー、2週間目は地元のthe busを利用しました。トローリーは、気楽に旅できて、断然、楽しいです♪

I was picked up on schedule. The meeting point was the hotel name, but when I read the voucher carefully, it turned out to be the trolley stop facing the street. The horseback riding was enjoyable as we walked along the coast. My stay in Haleiwa was just under an hour, which was perfect for me. I also enjoyed the recommended garlic shrimp, which was delicious.

スケジュール通りに送迎してもらいました。待ち合わせ場所がホテル名でしたが、バウチャーをよく読んだら実際は通りに面したトロリー乗り場でした。乗馬は海沿いを歩いて楽しく過ごしました。ハレイワでの滞在時間は1時間弱でしたが私にはちょうどよかったです。オススメのガーリックシュリンプも美味しくいただけました。

Early, however really great. it is timed to just be aware when your going up.

Malasadas are an awesome end!

The guide provided detailed explanations about various topics (Haleiwa, horseback riding, and the shops). Horseback riding was also enjoyable as we rode along the coast.

ガイドさんは色々説明(ハレイワのこと、乗馬について、お店について)を丁寧にしてくれました。
乗馬も、海岸を通り気持ちよかったです。

I took the full course for four days. The driver was kind and cheerful, making for a very enjoyable sightseeing experience in Hawaii.

四日間全コース乗りました。
ドライバーさんも親切で陽気でとても楽しいハワイ観光をする事が出来ました。

The hikes were beautiful and it was wonderful to have the transportation and tickets taken care of. The shuttle picked us up and dropped us off right next to our hotel. We got to meet some great people and have some laughs. We highly recommend this company.

We were picked up promptly and driver very informative. Dropped off on time to do our event. Upon completion driver there with our fresh malasadas. Then took us and got us seated for our açaí bowls. Came back, on schedule, an hour later and then dropped us back off at our hotel. All so perfectly done and what a pleasant driver.

Excellent hotel to crater service. Adam was courteous and knowledgeable.

We had a wonderful time on this adventure to the north shore on Oahu. Cousin G was our guide and he did a great job taking care of us and keeping things lively. He was so knowledgeable of the history and the area and all the ins and outs of where to go. He was really funny, too! Waimea falls was beautiful and the next stop we opted for paddle boarding. We didn't see any sea turtles, but it was still fun and peaceful. We had a small group of 10, which I don't think is usual, but it was a treat for us because we could move around easily and quickly get in and out of places. We'd highly recommend this to anyone!!

What can I say about “uncle” Kevin…he was the best! He’s filled with so much information about the island and we could sit and listen for hours. We did snorkeling and SUP. While snorkeling we saw a whale! While SUP we saw turtles…AMAZING!!!

Uncle Kevin was awesome. Friendly n funny great host/driver. Enjoyed our tour had a great time we did hike to waterfall n kayaking. Worth the money. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy north shore with some history/information. Read in other review that it was rushed but that’s not how it was at all at least not with our driver uncle Kevin.
