Oahu
Pearl Harbour is a must see, interesting and informative tour would definetly recommend. Drive to Punchbowl had amazing views of Waikiki and Diamond head.
Burberry led the way, while Mac and the dog provided support from behind.
We had quite a long horseback riding session and enjoyed a leisurely stroll through the forest.

First time on surf bus, me(45), niece(25), son(9), daughter(4). Only paid for 1 activity each because we didnt know the time schedule or what would work best. Pick up 8:15am. Nice tour of different beaches at north shore. Finally arrived at 1st activity spot at 10:30 me/daughter went to waimea beach, niece/son waimea falls and walked to us. Others did snorkeling. Picked up at 1pm. Next stop haleiwa where we got 1 paddle board and 1 double kayak. Son loved padded boarding by himself! We switched off and met back at 3. Others walked through town and ate. We did great with just one activity eac (2 waimea waterfall entrance, 1 paddle board, 1 kayak). Others did th snorkel then th paddle board the 2nd half. The falls walk was hot and long but my son still enjoyed. Beach was nice for me and my 4 year old to float in the calmer waves. Definitely enjoyed our trip! Nice ending was a couple days later I realized I had left my daughter's life jacket (brought a good one for my entir vaca
Not much of a tour. Driver OK - very little information given during ride, made a few recommendations. Driver dropped everyone off then went surfing for both the morning and afternoon sessions.
Other folks in group disappointed in the amount of walking, lack of bike helmets and places where the road had no bike trail.
When you think of classic transportation in Hawaii, the trolley comes to mind! The local staff at the ticket exchange, including the older gentleman, are sure to make you laugh, and all the trolley drivers are fun people! You'd be missing out if you don't ride it. They even take photos while stopped! It’s not just a means of getting around; you can explore the Waikiki area while listening to the enjoyable stories from the drivers. I will definitely participate again next time!
ハワイの定番乗り物と言えば、トロリーですよね!
現地スタッフ(チケット引き換え所)のおじいちゃん?も笑わせてくれるし、トロリーの運転手も楽しい人ばかり!乗らなきゃ損です。
停車中には写真も取ってくれます♪
移動だけの手段だけではなく、楽しい運転手の話しを聞きながらワイキキ周辺を探索出来ました。
次回も絶対に参加しま~す!
I have always wanted to go horseback riding in Hawaii, so I signed up for this canyon horseback riding course. As someone who has been attending a riding club, just walking at a normal pace wasn't enough for me, and I dozed off a bit along the way, but it was wonderful to view the mysterious forest and the beautiful ocean from the horse's back. The horse was calm and well-behaved. The stray cat and stray chicken that were friendly were also cute.
The restroom at the riding club is just one temporary toilet outside, so I strongly recommend using the nice restrooms at Dole Plantation beforehand. The Dole pineapple soft serve and cookies were delicious.
There is no rental for helmets and gloves, which are usually provided for horseback riding. It’s a good idea to bring a hat, long sleeves, long pants, and gloves that you don’t mind getting dirty to protect against sunburn and scratches.
I’m not a fan of shrimp, but the lunch I went to had no options other than shrimp (there was a fruit salad on the menu, but it wasn’t actually available), so I wished I could have eaten at a cool, clean restaurant with a restroom that accepted credit cards and offered something other than shrimp lunch. It seems to be a famous place, and the guide kindly offered me some pineapple as a side.
We had a packed schedule with visits to the "Tree of Life," Dole, sea turtles, and Haleiwa Town, and they accommodated us in various ways. As a result, we ended up leaving later than planned, but the guide was chatty and kind.
昔からハワイで乗馬がしたかったので、こちらの渓谷乗馬コースを申し込みました。乗馬クラブに通ってた私には、普通の並み足で歩くだけでは物足りなくて、途中でウトウトしてしまったけど、不思議な森の中や綺麗な海が見える景色を馬の背から眺めるのは乙なものでした。お馬さんも大人しくて良い子でした。よく懐いてる野良猫と野良ニワトリも可愛かったです^^
乗馬クラブのトイレは外の仮設のようなトイレ1個しかないので、ドールプランテーションの綺麗なトイレで済ませておくことを強くお勧めします。ドールのパイナップルソフトクリームとクッキーは美味しかったです。
乗馬に付き物の、ヘルメットと手袋のレンタルはありません。日焼けと傷防止のためにも、帽子と長袖・長ズボン・軍手などの汚れても良い手袋を持参すると良いです。
私はエビが苦手なのですが、行ったランチはシュリンプ以外のメニューが無く(フルーツサラダがメニューにあるけど実際は売ってなかった)、シュリンプランチ以外のクレジットカードが使えるトイレつきの涼しく綺麗なレストランで食べたかった気もしますが。有名なお店だそうで、ガイドさんが気を使って私に添え物のパイナップルをくれました。
この木なんの木や、ドール、ウミガメ、ハレイワタウン、イレギュラーな対応もして頂き、盛りだくさんのイベントでした。
そのため帰る時間が遅くなりましたが、ガイドさんはお喋りで親切でした。
I really wanted to experience horseback riding in Hawaii, so I joined this tour. My daughter and grandchild rode the pineapple train, while my husband and I took on horseback riding. The horses, walking in a line through the enchanting forest, were very obedient, and sometimes they would stop to graze, making it thrilling as they tried to catch up with the horse in front. It was so much fun that since returning home, I've been looking for trips where I can ride horses. It became my most enjoyable memory from the trip to Hawaii.
是非ハワイで乗馬を経験したかったのでこのツアーに参加しました。娘と孫はパイナップル列車に乗り、私たち夫婦は乗馬に挑戦しました。幻想的な林の中を列を作って散歩する馬さんたちはとても従順で、時々、道草を食べて遅れると前の馬に追いつこうとして走るので、とてもスリリングな時を過ごしました。とても楽しかったので、帰国してからも乗馬ができる旅ばかり探しています。ハワイの旅で一番楽しい思い出になりました。
This was a great acivity. We learned all about the island on the drive to the North Shore. Saw all the great surfing beaches, did some snorkeling and kyaking....a very fun day.
Last August, my family participated in a canyon horseback riding experience. My son, who is in the third grade, and my daughter, who is in high school, both had a great time. The 90-minute ride through the canyon included just the right amount of uphill sections and was more fun than we expected. Each horse had its own personality, and my son's horse was laid-back, walking slowly, which seemed perfect for him (laughs). At the end, they also took pictures for us, creating wonderful memories!
昨年8月に渓谷乗馬に家族で参加しました。
小学3年生の息子や高校生の娘もとても楽しんでいました。
約90分の渓谷での乗馬はちょうどいい程度の上りもあり
想像以上の楽しさでした。
馬もそれぞれ性格があり、息子の馬はマイペースで
ゆっくりゆっくり歩くので息子にはちょうど良かったようです(笑)
最後には写真も撮ってくれて良い思い出となりました!
After several trips to Oahu and never having the opportunity to hike Makapu'u since I don't rent a car and the nearest bus stop is over a mile from the trailhead, I was happy to see Kaimana Tours offering transportation from Waikiki hotels to the trailhead.
As the only person taking the tour that day, I was put on a shuttle with a group headed to Hanauma Bay. Pickup from my hotel was prompt, the driver was both professional and entertaining, and pickup from the trailhead was efficient (all I had to do was call the office when I finished the hike, and the driver was there within 10-15 mins)!
As for the hike itself, it is actually a walk on a paved, slightly inclined one mile-ish road. The sights were beautiful all the way to the top, and people of all activity levels should be able to handle this without any issues.
All-in-all, Kaimana Tours delivered an A+++ experience, and I hope to partake in their other tour offerings the next time I'm in Oahu!
The Arizona Memorial and the Punch Bowl Veterans Cemetery were very moving experiences for us. Our driver was the real gem of this tour. He was informative, entertaining and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour to all visitors to Honolulu.
Thank you for your help. The local Japanese staff were very kind, and I had a great time!
お世話になりました。現地の日本のスタッフの方が大変親切で満喫できました!!
This time, I had my first horseback riding experience with my 7-year-old child. At first, both my child and I were nervous, but we quickly got used to it. The horses were very smart, and we thoroughly enjoyed the great outdoors; it was a truly valuable experience. The tour guide was very friendly, and they even took us to Leonard's, a place I had wanted to visit for a long time, and for lunch, we went to a garlic shrimp restaurant, which made me very satisfied. Next time, I would like my husband to join us as well.
今回7歳の子供と二人で乗馬を初体験しました。最初は子供も私も緊張しましたが、すぐに慣れて来て、お馬さんもとっても賢くて、大自然を満喫出来、とっても貴重な体験をさせて頂きました。ツアーガイドの方もとっても気さくな方で、以前から行きたかったレナーズのお店にも途中に寄っていただいたり、ランチにはガーリックシュリンプのお店に連れて行って頂いたり本当に大満足しました。今度は主人も一緒に参加させて頂きたいと思います。
Mario was an excellent bus/tour driver! I would definitely recommend getting a longer tour that allows for the USS Missouri tour. A Sunday tour was the best - least amount of traffic, which allowed for more time at Pearl Harbor. Mario also allowed us out of the bus to take pictures at the King Kamehameha statue.
It was wonderful to be able to ride a horse while gazing at the blue sea! ♪
青い海を眺めながら乗馬できたことがとてもよかったです♪
My daughter participated because she wanted to ride a horse. It seems she was able to ride quite seriously, which is great.
娘が馬に乗りたくて参加しました。かなり本格的に乗ることができたようでよかったみたいです。
I have a lasting impression from a horseback riding experience along the beach in Oahu, and this time I finally participated since my child is old enough to ride. I had imagined a light gallop, so I felt a bit underwhelmed by the well-behaved horses that walked slowly in a line. However, my children, who were experiencing riding (handling the reins themselves) for the first time, and my 63-year-old mother enjoyed it innocently.
At the beach, we were fortunate to see wild sea turtles and seals up close, and the Japanese guide was very unique, making it a truly enjoyable activity. Since it was my first time staying at the Sheraton, I didn't know where the Aloha Landing was, which caused a delay in our departure, and I regretted not being able to give a tip to the guide, whom I was very grateful to. I think I will request a different activity next time.
Please say hello to Kozo for me!
昔オアフでビーチ沿いを走る乗馬体験をしたのがとても印象に残っていて、今回はやっと子供が乗馬できる年齢になったので参加しました。
軽く疾走するくらいのイメージだったので、きちんと列になりゆっくり歩くお利巧なお馬さんたちに若干の物足りなさはあったものの、乗馬(自分で手綱をさばく)初体験の子供たちと63歳の母は無邪気に楽しんでいました。
海岸では幸運にも野生の海がめとアザラシを間近に見れたし、日本人ガイドのおじさんもとってもユニークで本当に楽しいアクティビティでした。
シェラトンの宿泊は初めてだったので、アロハランディングの場所がわからず行き違いで出発が遅れてしまったり、ガイドの方にとても感謝したのでぜひ渡したかったチップを渡しそこなったり、すこし後悔が残ったので、また次回は違うアクティビティでお願いしようと重います。
コウゾウさんによろしくお伝えください!!
This is a beautiful attraction and great for first timers. Persons visiting must be able to walk and climb long distances. The view is great!
This time, we used the trolley bus for my parents during our family trip. It was their second time in Hawaii, and they were very happy to finally ride the bus and enjoy it! Both of them got the senior discount, which was a good deal, but since they didn't ride it much over the four days, I thought it might have been better for me to pay the fare each time instead.
今回は、家族旅行にて父母の為にトロリーバスを利用しました。2回目のハワイで、ようやくバスにのり満喫できた!と大変喜んでいました。2人ともシニア料金でお得でしたが、1日でもあまり回数をならなく、4日間も乗らなかったので、私はその都度乗車料金を払うほうが…よかったかなと思いました。
Attended this hike as a family with small children (ages 4&7) and this was a perfect morning outing! The hike was paved and only a moderate incline, and the views along the way up and from the top are remarkable!
Unfortunately the tides were not perfect for the blowhole to really be going, but we did get to see some spray and the kids enjoyed it as well.
Overall, a very professionally run operation with great pickup and dropoff services. The hike was a nice way to get out and see other sights!
I'm glad I was able to ride in a place that was more wonderful than I expected. It was clean and not smelly, and instead of just going around in circles, I could enjoy various landscapes along the coast and through the forest without getting bored. The guide was also very kind and recommended some delicious places to eat.
思っていたよりも素敵な場所で乗馬することができてよかったです。清潔で臭くもありませんでしたし、同じところをぐるぐるまわるのではなく、海沿いや林の中や、いろいろな景色を楽しめて飽きることがなかったです。
ガイドさんもおいしい店を教えてくれたりとても親切でした。
The schedule was as follows:
Hotel gathering → This tree, what tree → Dole → Haleiwa → Turtle watching → Horseback riding.
I had been to This tree, what tree and Dole before, so I thought it might not be necessary to go, but I planned to stop for a restroom break.
At Haleiwa, I was told to have lunch because horseback riding can be tiring, but it was still in the 10 o'clock hour and there were few open shops, so I couldn't eat.
I gave up on lunch and tried the rainbow shave ice at Matsumoto Shave Ice, but the taste was... However, I was satisfied because I could take a photo.
After that, I had a brief look at the turtles, and then it was finally time for horseback riding.
I chose the canyon route, and it was really fun.
The staff couldn't speak Japanese, but they provided a detailed explanation with pictures in Japanese at the waiting area regarding precautions for horseback riding, so I could understand the English explanations through gestures.
The staff were very nice, and they spoke to me in simple English that I could understand, which was enjoyable.
As for the horseback riding, the 90 minutes flew by. We rode through trees with mango and passion fruit trees and colorful flowers, and I enjoyed the view of the North Shore ocean from the horse's back.
I thought, what a luxurious experience this is! The ups and downs of the trail were also one of its charms. You can tell the horse gets excited as you approach the uphill.
I was so engrossed in having fun that I didn't notice until the return trip, but the skin on my fingers was peeling.
The horse is very smart, but it did try to nibble on grass and moved towards the trees at times, so it seems I got scratched somewhere.
Therefore, I think it's better to wear long pants and be mindful of your clothing.
スケジュールはこんな感じでした。
ホテル集合→この木なんの木→ドール→ハレイワ→亀見学→乗馬
この木なんの木、ドールは行ったことがあったので行かなくても…と思っていたのですが、トイレ休憩のつもりで。
ハレイワでは乗馬が疲れるのでランチを食べてきてくださいと言われたのですが、まだ時間が10時台だったことや、オープンしているお店が少なかったので、食べれませんでした。
ランチは諦め、マツモトシェイブアイスでレインボーを頼んでみましたが、味は…。でも写真が撮れたので満足です。
その後亀をちょこっと見学して、いよいよ乗馬へ。
私は渓谷の方を選びましたが、すごく楽しかったです。
スタッフの方は日本語しゃべれませんが、乗馬の際の注意などは待合所?に絵つきの日本語で丁寧に説明があったので、英語の説明でもジェスチャーなどで理解出来ます。
スタッフの方もとてもいい方達で、私がわかる中学生程度の英語で話しかけて下さったり、楽しかったです。
肝心の乗馬ですが、90分もあっという間。マンゴーやパッションフルーツの木や、色とりどりの花が咲いている木々の間を抜けて行ったり、馬の背からノースショアの海を眺めたり。
なんて贅沢な経験なんだと思いました。アップダウンが激しいのも魅力のひとつ。アップにさしかかると馬に気合が入るのが分かります。
夢中で楽しんでいたので帰りまで気がつかなかったのですが、指の皮が向けてました。
馬はとても利口ですが、途中草を食べようと木々の方へ寄ったり多少はするので、どこかで擦ってしまったようです。
なので、長ズボンを履くなど、服装は心がけたほうがいいと思います。
I had a wonderful experience horseback riding along the coastline while enjoying the view of the ocean at North Shore. Even as a beginner, I was able to enjoy a full 45 minutes of relaxed riding. The shrimp for lunch was also fantastic, and they provided transportation for us. It was deliciously buttery and satisfying. I feel like I might become really into horseback riding! I definitely want to go again.
ノースショアでの海を見ながらの、体験乗馬、素人でも、丸々45分間たっぷり海岸縁を、ゆったり、乗馬を楽しませてもらいました。昼食のシュウリンプも
、わざわざ送迎してもらい、たっぷりプリプリのバター味、堪能できました。乗馬に凝ってしまいそうな気分!また、行きたいたいです。
was interesting and unique. would have liked extra hour or so to go through submarine. bus driver presented great introduction to the events of the war and was very informative on honolulu tour.
We participated as a family with our 3-year-old child and grandparents. The hike in the park was very pleasant.
3歳の子供を連れて祖父母とともにファミリーで参加。公園のハイキングはとっても気持ちよかったです。
The frilly chicken and garlic shrimp were just as expected, and I was glad to join the tour on Sunday! The location for lunch at the beach was fantastic. The town of Haleiwa felt like a nostalgic countryside town. The guide also provided detailed explanations, which made it enjoyable.
期待通りのフリフリチキン、ガーリックシュリンプ、日曜日にツアーに参加でき良かった!!
ビーチでのランチにロケーション最高でした。
ハレイワの街は、ノスタルジックな田舎町という感じ。
ガイドさんも、詳しく説明いただき楽しかったです。
This tour allowed me to experience North Shore sightseeing, horseback riding, and B-grade gourmet food all in one day, and I was very satisfied. The main highlight was definitely the horseback riding. The staff provided explanations in English, but even for someone like me who isn't proficient in English, I was able to understand about 50%, so it's fine for those who struggle with English. I also recommend the B-grade gourmet garlic shrimp.
このツアーはノースショワ観光・乗馬・B級グルメが1日で体験で出来てとても満足できました。メインはやはり乗馬です。スタッフは英語の説明ですが、英語のできない私でも50%は理解できたので、英語が苦手に方でも大丈夫です。B級グルメのガーリックシュリンプもオススメです。
Our had a great time on our tour. "Super Mario" was a great tour guide and had us all laughing with his jokes. Pearl Harbor was so fascinating and was truly an honor to see one of the last remaining living survivors that was there that day signing books. We just wish we ha more time there and will definitely go back.
This tour offers various options, but it is primarily scheduled around horseback riding, so I recommend it for those whose main purpose is horseback riding. One downside is that it can be a bit confusing because we shared the bus with people on different plans, making it hard to fully understand the explanations.
このツアーはいろいろ選べれますが、乗馬がメインでスケジュールが組まれていますので、乗馬が主目的な方にお勧めです。乗馬以外のプランの人と同じバスになったせいか、スケジュールがややこしく、説明がいまいち理解できないのが難点です。
With the free plan, you can also enjoy swimming in the sea. I was introduced to a beach where turtles are present. I had the rare experience of seeing turtles swimming nearby and napping on the sandy beach.
フリープランでは海水浴もできます。亀がいるビーチを紹介して貰いました。亀が近くを泳いでいたり、砂浜で昼寝をしていたり、貴重な体験をすることができました。
