All Reviews for Trolley & Shuttle to Attractions

The coupon pickup location is at the ticket booth for the trolley station on the north side of T Galleria Hawaii by DFS, but in reality, there was a cart on the sidewalk on the Royal Hawaiian Avenue side of the Waikiki Shopping Plaza.

クーポンの受取場所がTギャラリアハワイ by DFS北側トロリー乗り場チケットブースとなっていますが、実際にはワイキキ ショッピング プラザのロイヤルハワイアンアベニュー側の歩道にカートがありました。

Last time (December 2019), there were 10 routes, making it difficult to choose, but due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, there were only 4 routes available this time. However, it was exactly the route I wanted to see, so it was very helpful. I think the driver did a great job providing a lot of information in English. (I didn't understand the meaning very well, though...)

前回（2019年12月）は10路線もあり選ぶのが大変でしたが、まだコロナの影響で4路線しか有りませんでした。ですが、丁度見に行きたい所の路線でしたのでとっても助かりました。運転手さんが英語で沢山案内してくれてとても良かったと思っています。（英語の意味は良く分からなかったですが・・・）

Both of these hikes were gorgeous, and very different terrains. However I am sure tired after two hikes in 1 day!

Timely pick up and drop off with friendly and knowledgable guide/driver.

My husband and I took the North Shore Tour hoping to get a bit of everything - activities, beach, relaxation and fun. We got what we wanted and more. We had Cousin G who made everyone feel comfortable and entertained, and made the tour engaging and funny.
The tour had a good balance of free/activity time and many choices to choose from. We did the waterfall and kayaking option and was one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii.
We also got the chance to sight see the east and north side of Oahu and had many stops for photos and breaks.
We felt like we got our moneys worth from this trip and got to see and do a lot on the island in just a 8am - 5pm timeframe.

The whole thing was wonderful. They were very well organized. Time was perfect. The place & the hiking trail was smooth & everybody was behaving as a family member or friend so I didn’t feel alone at all. The team was very cooperative & friendly & kind.

During my stay on Oahu, I always make sure to visit the North Shore, regardless of the season. I usually rent a car for the duration of my stay, but rental car prices have skyrocketed since the end of the pandemic.

Since I'm familiar with the North Shore, I decided to use a shuttle service instead of renting a car. Although I didn't have any activities planned, I was able to spend a decent amount of time there and was satisfied with my visit. If I had done activities like horseback riding, I would have had very little time left. Not having to drive made it quite easy for me. I think this is a good option.

オアフ島滞在時には必ず季節を問わずノースショアにはいっています。いつもはレンタカーを滞在期間中借りているのですが、コロナ明けでレンタカー料金はバカ高い。
そこで、勝手知ったるノースショアですので、レンタカーの代替として送迎のみで利用しました。アクティビティなしなので、滞在時間は十分とは言えませんが、それなりに取れ満足です。乗馬などをするとほとんど滞在時間はなくなりそうです。車を運転しないので、結構ラクチンでした。こういう方法もありだなと思います。

Uncle Kevin was a great guide, the whole group was nice and we spent more time together than expected.
The activities were so/so - and quite short for some. Also Turtle beach stop was cancelled while other stops (unplanned) took a while.
We saw a lot and learned about Hawaiian culture and life.
4 star for the tour 5 star for the guide

Great experience! We also used the shuttle service and we’re able to look and enjoy the scenic drive while the driver told us about the areas we passed.

This was a very enjoyable experience of the North shore. It was filled with fun activities, excellent food, and good shopping. Uncle Kevin was a perfect host and tour guide, and the trip would not have been the same without him. Very wonderful experience!

I'm glad I was able to easily go to Waikele, especially since there are few one-time tours available. However, it was disappointing that a few people did not arrive on time for the return bus, causing a delay of over 30 minutes. While this is more of a passenger etiquette issue than the bus's responsibility, I believe there should be a reminder that the bus will depart at the scheduled time, and if someone is late, they will need to find their own way back.

単発のツアーが少ない中、ワイケレに楽に行けて良かったです。帰りのバスの時間で、数名の方が時間通りに来ず、30分以上遅れる事があり残念でした。こちらのバスの責任というより、乗客のマナーの問題ですが、発車時刻に発車。来られなかったら、自分でお帰ることになるなどの注意喚起が必要だとも思いました。

There are four color-coded routes, with the pink route primarily providing hotel transfers to Ala Moana Shopping Center. This time, I used the red route for downtown and the green route for Diamond Head and a local snack restaurant. The driver provided very polite travel guidance and personalized service. Although it was in English, the Hawaiian accent made it a bit difficult for Japanese speakers to understand. Please note that except for the pink route, the other routes run once an hour, with the last departure from the starting point at 3 PM.

4色のコースがあり，頻繁にあるピンクは主にアラモアナショッピングセンターへのホテル送迎です。
今回レッドでダウンタウンをグリーンでダイアモンドヘッドと地元の軽食レストランを利用しました。ドライバーが大変丁寧な旅行案内と個別の対応をしてくれました。英語ですが，ハワイアンのアクセントがあり，日本人には少し聞き取りにくかったです。
ピンク以外は1時間に1本で午後3時までに最終が出発地点を出ますので，注意してください。

Surf bus instructor, Kevin was very informative- he gave us info to places that we must see and foods/places to eat at.
Enjoyed snorkeling wish we would of seen turtles though. Kayaking time was limited we had to go back to the bus to head back to Waikiki. We did get to visit the small towns on our way to North Shore that grows fresh vegetable and fruits, I think the two stops caused us to use up time on the water activities.

Didn't secure arizona tickets, and then the tour was cut short giving me less than at pearl harbor.

I rode a horse for the first time in my life, and it seemed very well-trained, so I didn't feel scared at all! The sea and mountains were incredibly beautiful, and time flew by in nature. Just looking back at the photos I took brings back such joyful memories.

During the drive to the North Shore, the local guide shared fascinating stories in Japanese about Hawaii's development history and geographical features! They even listened to traffic updates on the radio and planned the best route, making it a very meaningful experience!

Now, I want to go on the canyon plan next.

生まれて初めて馬に乗りましたが、とてもよく調教されているようで
怖い思いをすることが全くありませんでした！
海も山もとてもきれいで、自然の中で時間があっという間に過ぎました。
撮った写真を見返すだけで楽しい気持ちが思い出されます。

ノースショアまでの車内も、現地のガイドさんが日本語で
ハワイの発展の歴史や地理的特徴など
ずっと興味深い話をしてくれました！
しかもラジオの交通情報を聞いて最適なルートを考えてくれたりと
とても有意義な時間が過ごせました！

次は渓谷プランに行きたくなりました。

The canyon horseback riding has chosen a coastal course for its renewal. It's the best view while looking at a local beach that's different from Waikiki! The horses are well-trained and very smart.

In a small group, there were two couples, including us, on their honeymoon. The actual experience starts with just a simple lecture before getting on the horses. There’s no practice, just a full-time horseback riding experience!? They will take photos for you, but if you want to capture moments while riding, it's handy to have a strap to hang around your neck.

Also, the horseback riding experience is divided into two sessions. If you make a last-minute reservation, you might be assigned to the second session. The second session makes it a bit tricky to explore Haleiwa, so if you want to enjoy Haleiwa as well, I recommend booking early. If you want to eat garlic shrimp without waiting, the first session might be better!

Since I had a packed schedule afterward, I got dropped off near Ala Moana. The driver, Kaz, was very helpful. I had a wonderful experience!

Next time, I want to participate in the canyon horseback riding. Thank you!

渓谷乗馬がリニューアルのため海辺のコースを選択しました。ワイキキとはまた違ったローカルなビーチを眺めながら、最高の景色です！
良く調教された馬ちゃんで、とってもお利口です。
少人数のグループで、私達も含めハネムーナの2組。
実際の体験は簡単なレクチャーだけで乗馬スタートです。
練習などはなく、フルタイム乗馬体験！？
写真も撮ってくれますが、乗馬中を撮影したいなら、首から下げたストラップがあると便利です。
また、乗馬体験は入れ替えの2部制です。予約がギリギリだと2部にまわされます。
2部だと、ハレイワの町の散策がビミョーなので、ハレイワも楽しみたい人は早めの予約をオススメします。
ガーリックシュリンプを待たずに食べたい人は1部の方がいいかも！

次の予定がつまっていたので、アラモアナの近くで下車させてもらいました。
ドライバーのカズさんも色々とお世話になりました。とても良い体験ができました！

次回は渓谷乗馬に参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

Unlike in Japan, there is no one to pull the horse for you, so you have to move the horse yourself. However, since the horses are trained, they will follow the horse of the staff member in front of you.

Being a private beach, the sea was very beautiful.

The horseback riding guide only speaks English, but during the bus ride to the location, the guide explains how to ride and control the horse, so even beginners or those who are not confident in English can feel at ease.

I’m really glad I experienced this. It became my best memory from my time in Hawaii.

日本と違い、馬を引っ張ってくれる方はついておらず、自分たちで馬を移動させるといったイメージです。が調教されているので、前にいるスタッフさんの馬に勝手について行ってくれます。
プライベートビーチということもあり、海がとてもきれいでした。
乗馬のガイドさんは英語のみの対応ですが、行きのバスでガイドさんから日本で乗り方や馬の動かし方など伝えてくれるので、初心者、英語苦手な方でも安心してできます。
体験して本当によかったです。ハワイにいた時間一番の思い出になりました。

There was no tour guide, and the driver was unhelpful with questions.

I wanted to ask about how to use the coupon, but I was waved off and refused. Previously, there was a tour guide who accompanied us and provided various information, but now there isn't one.

添乗員がいなく、ドライバーは質問に対して、不親切

クーポンのとり方を聞きたかったが、手を振って、断られ、以前は添乗員が同乗して、色々教えてくれたが、いない

Everyone who comes to Hawaii should visit the Pearl Harbor and view the film and find out why it's very important in our History. You will leave with a better understanding of the events that led to the memorial. Roberts provides excellent guides and service and the city tour adds to the magnificent Day you will have. Put it on your Do NOT want to Miss IT.

The Dole Plantation, which we stopped by along the way, was surprisingly enjoyable. I had a delicious pineapple soft serve and added to my collection of unique penny stamps.

The horseback riding at Makakeha Beach offers beautiful scenery, and the horses are well-trained, making it a safe and enjoyable experience even for beginners. There is a brief explanation of basic reins handling at the start, but generally, the horses follow the one in front automatically, so there's no need to worry.

途中に立ち寄るDolePlantationが意外と楽しめます。おいしいパインソフトを食べ、ここでしかないペニースタンプのコレクションが増えました。
MakakehaBeachの乗馬はとても景色がよく、馬もよく馴致されており初心者でも安心して楽しめると思います。最初に簡単な手綱さばき説明がありますが、基本お馬さんたちはオートマで前の馬についていくので心配しないでください。

Our tour guide Kevin was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable about the Island and was super friendly. The activities were fun and the landscape was beautiful! We had a great time!

I usually don't write reviews, but I decided to do so because the tour guide left a very good impression on me. The guide was Japanese and shared various information about Hawaii during the bus rides to and from the destination.

Additionally, while reading other reviews, I noticed that some mentioned a very tight schedule where they only went horseback riding and couldn't explore Haleiwa. However, it seems that this has improved, as we had time to spend in Haleiwa. After enjoying coffee in Haleiwa, we went horseback riding, took about 30 minutes to eat garlic shrimp, and then relaxed at the Dole Plantation before returning to Waikiki. The horseback riding along the beach was leisurely for about an hour, and it was a wonderful experience.

I was also happy that the guide took photos for us and was very proactive.

普段口コミを書かないんですが、ツアーガイドさんがとても好印象だったので書くことにしました。
日本人？の方で、行きも帰りも移動中のバスの中でハワイのことを色々と話して下さってました。
また、他の方の口コミを見るとあまりにもタイトスケジュールで乗馬だけしてハレイワは散策出来ないとありましたが、改善されたのかハレイワで過ごす時間もありました。
ハレイワで珈琲飲んだ後に乗馬して、ガーリックシュリンプを30分くらいかけて食べ、ドールプランテーションでゆっくり過ごしワイキキへ戻りました。乗馬も海辺を1時間くらいゆっくり乗馬して
とても素敵な時間でした。
ガイドさんが、写真撮ってくれたり率先してくれたので嬉しかったです。

Great experience - our guide Dave was very knowledgeable and funny. The Pearl Harbor visit was a very moving experience. The city tour is a great way to see places you may want to go visit on your own at a later time.

A really good tour with an excellent tour guide that gave tons of Hawaiian history. The snorkeling spot was incredibly rocky and definitely not for a beginner or child. Loved all the hawaiin history and "Cap" was great but not worth the money in my opinion.

I was picked up in Waikiki, and the driver explained the history while we first went to the Dole Plantation! We stayed there for about 30 minutes, including a bathroom break, and then headed to the town of Haleiwa!

The location was absolutely amazing! I felt reassured because the horseback riding instructions were provided in Japanese on the bus beforehand.

Once we arrived, the staff were very attentive, checking in on us and asking if we were okay, which made them friendly and approachable.

I've had a few horseback riding experiences before, but if I come back to Hawaii, I would definitely want to book here again!

ワイキキでピックアップしてもらい、運転手さんに歴史等説明してもらいながらまずドールハウスへ行きました！そこでトイレ休憩含め30分程滞在し、いよいよハレイワの街へ！
とにかくロケーションが最高でした！乗馬の説明も事前にバス内で日本語でしてもらえたので何より安心でした！
現地に着いてからもスタッフさんがよく説明とこちらの様子を伺い、大丈夫？と声をかけてもらったり、フレンドリーで親しみやすかったです。
乗馬体験は数回したことがありますが、またハワイに来たらこちらで予約したいです！

During the drive, I found it fascinating to hear about the origins of Hawaii and current stories from the guide in Japanese. The Dole Plantation was also a perfect spot for a restroom break and souvenir shopping. The main horseback riding was guided by a kind elderly couple who owned the ranch, and it was enjoyable to ride through the forest course. Having only six people in the group made it relaxing and fun. It was my first time horseback riding, but it felt similar to walking a dog, and I was able to control the horse well. In Haleiwa, I tried the garlic shrimp that the guide recommended, and it was the best I've ever had. On the way back, I fell asleep and we quickly arrived in Waikiki. I'm glad I experienced this tour.

ドライブ中はガイドさんから、日本語でハワイの起源とか現在の話が聞けて興味深かった。
また、ドールプランテーションも丁度良いトイレ休憩とお土産購入になった。
メインの乗馬も牧場主の優しい老夫婦の案内で林間コースを回った。
人数が6人と少なかったのが良かったのか、のんびりして楽しかった。
乗馬は初めてだったが、犬の散歩と似ていてコントロールでき、良い子だった。
ハレイワでは、ガイドさんが教えてくれたガーリックシュリンプを食べたが、今までで一番美味しかった。
帰りは、寝てあっという間にワイキキに着いた。
このツアーは体験して良かった。

Excellent service and wonder experience, thank you Kevin

It’s a great experience visiting the North Shore with Calvin! He’s funny and created a relaxing environment for us!
I would recommend a tour with Uncle Calvin who takes good care of folks in the tour and gave many good advices on where to get good food in town.

This was a super easy experience! We were dropped off and picked up in the same location and got to explore whatever we wanted for 5 hours. Loved it!

Our tour guide Ariel was awesome! Would do it again. Strongly recommend it.
