I was informed that the driver had the QR code for the VIP booklet, but when I asked, I was told they didn't have it. The bus was delayed, and due to Black Friday, my arrival was an hour late. The bus from the outlet was supposed to arrive on time, but it came 40 minutes late. If it was going to be crowded because of Black Friday, I wish the pickup bus had come earlier to account for that. I ended up wasting a lot of time, which was disappointing.
運転手さんがVIPブックレットのQRコードを持ってるとのことでしたが、聞いてもないと言われ、バスが来るのが遅れてたことやブラックフライデーもあり、到着が1時間遅れ、アウトレット発のバスも時間通りに待ってましたが、40分遅れてバスが来ました。ブラックフライデーで混んでいるのであれば、それを想定して迎えのバスは早めに向かってきてほしかったです。無駄な時間がたくさんあり、残念でした。

I have visited Haleiwa several times, but I wanted to go to Waimea Valley, so I joined this tour. I was also satisfied to see Pohakuloa on the mini tour.
However, there was one issue: the schedule stated that we would leave Waimea Valley at 11:00 AM and arrive in Haleiwa around 11:30 AM, with the mini tour departing at 12:30 PM. I had hoped to eat garlic shrimp during that time, but the actual departure from Waimea was at 11:30 AM, leaving us with only 30 minutes in Haleiwa. Unfortunately, I couldn't eat anything there, which was disappointing. Since I planned my participation in advance, I would like the schedule to be followed properly.
ハレイワには何度か来ましたが、ワイメア渓谷に行ってみたかったのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。ついでにミニツアーでポハクラナイを見ることができて満足です。
ただ一点、予定では11時にワイメア渓谷を出発して11時半頃ハレイワに到着、ミニツアー出発は12時半とあったのでその間にガーリックシュリンプを食べたいと思っていたのですが、実際のワイメア出発時間は11時半でハレイワ滞在時間は30分しかなく、結局現地では何も食べることができず残念な思いをしました。こちらは事前に予定を組んで参加しているのでスケジュールはちゃんと守ってほしいです。

I had a great time from morning until evening. Besides the pink line of the Waikiki Trolley, the Lealea Trolley expands my options and is essential when going out.
朝から夕方まで楽しみました。

This is my second time using this service. I will arrive in Haleiwa before 9 AM. It took a little time to get through the busy downtown area on the way there due to heavy traffic. The route may change depending on the driver and traffic conditions. We have five hours on-site, but if you enjoy shopping, that might not be enough time. The main area from around Giovanni's Shrimp Truck to Surf N Sea is walkable. I gave the driver a tip for both the outbound and return trips, but I didn't see many other people doing the same.
今回2回目の利用です。ハレイワには9時前に着きます。
行きの中心部を抜けるのは交通量の多さから少し時間掛かりました。
運転手や交通量により、ルートは変わるかも知れません。
現地5時間ですが、ショッピング多い人は足りないかも知れません。メイン南北(ジェニーズのガーリックシュリンプ辺りからsurfnsea辺りまで)
は徒歩で可能です。
運転手さんには行き帰りでそれぞれChipを渡しましたが、他の方は余り渡している様子は見られませんでした。
For those who don't use rental cars, I recommend a longer stay. As for the tip, we gave $5 for one way (laughs). I'm not sure if that's a lot or a little.
レンタカー使わない方には、滞在時間長めでお勧めです。
Chipは私達は、片道5ドル渡しました(笑)。多いか少ないかはわかりません。

The Manoa Falls Trail has beautiful scenery and it’s an easy/ moderate hike going up. But the Manoa Falls at this time ( November) has little water but still worth the hike and a lot of great spots for IG.
Orlando our tour guide is very knowledgeable and made a lot of good recommendations around Honolulu. He provided us with water and bug spray. He is on time picking us up in the hotel.
Thank you and it was a great experience!
I was able to visit all the places I wanted in Haleiwa in just five hours. Participating in the mini-tour was great, and the guide was very kind. The fact that the tour included a stop at Pōhakuloa was the deciding factor for me to choose this tour. During our free time, I enjoyed Giovanni's garlic shrimp and coffee at the North Shore Marketplace, which were delicious. It was also fun to watch the surfers riding the big waves at Haleiwa Beach. Overall, it was a very satisfying tour.
ハレイワでの5時間で行きたいところに行けました。
ミニーツアーに参加出来て案内も親切でした。
ポハク・ラナイがミニーツアーで入っていたのが決め手でのこのツアーにしたので。
自由時間にジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプ、ノースシェアマーケットプレイスでのコーヒーが美味しかったです。
ハレイワ海岸でビッグウェーブでサーフィンしてる人たちを見てるのも楽しかったです。
大満足のツアーでした。
Since there is a meeting time for the mini tour, please be mindful of the time allocated for shopping. I wish I could have seen more, but there wasn't quite enough time to visit the shops.
ミニツアーの集合時間もあるので、ショップ巡りの時間配分に気をつけて下さい。

The hike itself is a quick 1.6 miles round trip and felt nice and quick!
Moderate climbs with the spectacular views from the summit, sweeping vistas of Waikiki and the Pacific.
The trail is beautiful and lush, with tropical scenery at every turn. A simple, enjoyable rainforest escape.
This shuttle made visiting Manoa Falls easy. Pick-up in Waikiki was on time, and the ride was comfortable.
This was a deeply moving tour that balanced historical reflection with local storytelling. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Oahu who wants to understand its past.
The early start was absolutely worth it. The shuttle was on time, the guide was friendly, and we reached the trail before the crowds.
It was quite difficult to go on our own, so we decided to join a tour. There was a good amount of free time, and we strolled around the city while asking our driver for recommendations on places to visit. We were very lucky to see sea turtles swimming at Haleiwa Beach. The garlic shrimp was plump and very delicious. It was a great town with a different atmosphere from the city center, and you could really feel the local vibe. I definitely want to visit again if I have the chance.
自分たちで行くには大変なのでツアーにしました。自由時間も程よく、ドライバーさんにオススメの場所など聞きながら街を散策しました。ハレイワビーチではウミガメが泳いでいるのも見れてとても幸運でした。
ガーリックシュリンプのエビがプリップリでとても美味しかったです。
中心地とは違う雰囲気で生活感が感じられるとてもいい街でした。機会があればまたぜひ訪れたいと思います。
There is a lack of pedestrian-friendly waves, and since there are quite a few cars on the road, you need to be cautious while walking.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a private tour since we were the only ones there, which allowed for some flexibility. Along the way, we learned about Hawaii, and it was enjoyable. I also recommend the mini tour, where we were able to purchase local coffee beans at the coffee factory next to the North Shore Soap Factory.
はからずも、私たちしかおらず、貸し切りになったので、ある程度融通がきいたツアーでした。道中もハワイのことを教えていただき、楽しかったです。ミニツアーもおすすめでノースショア・ソープ・ファクトリー横のコーヒーファクトリーで現地のコーヒー豆を購入することができました。

Everything went smoothly-tour operator picked us up on time at designated spot and returned us at appropriate time, and gave us a narrative talk about the area enroute to Diamond Head. The destination was exceptional -with amazing views of the inland and coastline. One tip- it appears that the later you go in the day the busier the trail gets. We left at 8:30 am and the crowds were manageable. If you're in Honolulu-definitely check this beauty out-and plan to get a good cardiovascular workout in climbing to the top!
Our driver was friendly and on time. As first-timers to the North Shore, we appreciated the helpful tips and recommendations he shared when we arrived, and he even dropped us off at the beach after the others were dropped off in town.
The trip felt stress free and comfortable, would recommend!
You definitely have to try the Furifuri Chicken, and the Matsumoto Shave Ice was delicious too. It's a tour where you can leisurely explore Haleiwa.
フリフリチキンは是非食べてもらいたい、マツモトシェイブアイスも美味しかった、ゆっくりハレイワを散策できるツアー
It's a great tour for exploring Haleiwa.

It was convenient since it is now reservation-based. I had just enough time to go hiking. The guide was also English-speaking and provided sightseeing information throughout the drive.
現在、予約制になっているので楽でした。
時間も余裕が少しあるくらいで登山できました。ガイドさんも英語でしたが、運転中もずっと観光案内してくれました。
I recommend it for those who want to take it slow in the morning.

Since it was my second visit to Haleiwa during my trip, I did not participate in the mini photo tour. I had time to spare, but without transportation, my range of activities was limited, and I ended up with too much free time.
旅行期間中に2度目のハレイワ訪問であったため、ミニフォトツアーには参加しませんでした。タプリと時間がありますが、移動手段がないため行動範囲が限られてしまい、時間をもて余してしまいました。
I think renting a bicycle is a good option, but please be careful as there is a lot of traffic in popular tourist areas.
自転車のレンタルも有りだと思いますが、人気の観光地で交通量も多いので気を付けて下さい。

I don't speak English at all. Due to scheduling, I booked an English tour, but Chris, our driver, spoke to us in Japanese, so there were no difficulties.
We were the only Japanese participants, but I was very grateful that he provided explanations in Japanese at key points.
The tour content was relaxed and enjoyable. I felt reassured that everything proceeded according to schedule.
I was informed that I could receive a discount at Dole, but the staff there didn't seem to notice? I later realized that I ended up shopping at the regular price. I think it's better to proactively remind them when shopping.
It got a bit long, but I was able to participate in the tour without worrying about not understanding English. Thank you, Chris!
英語は全く話せません。スケジュールの関係で英語ツアーを予約しましたが、ドラバイバーのクリスさんが日本語で話して下さり不自由がなかったです。
日本人参加は私達しかいなかったのですが、要所要所で日本語で説明して下さったのがとても有り難かったです。
ツアー内容もゆったりしていて良いです。スケジュール通りの進行で安心しました。
ドールでは割引が受けられると説明を受けてましたが、ドール側の店員の方に気付いて貰えず？定価での買い物になった事に後から気付きました。買い物をする時は自分から忘れずにアピールした方がいいと思います。
長くなりましたが英語が分からなくても安心してツアーに参加出来ました。クリスさんありがとうございました！
Thank you very much for bringing your family to our Royal Star Hawaii Haleiwa Express. Although this was a standard English tour, we are delighted to hear that your family enjoyed it. We are confident that you all had a great time in Haleiwa as well. We look forward to welcoming you back in Hawaii again.
この度は私共のロイヤルスターハワイのハレイワエクスプレスにご家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。今回通常の英語のツアーでしたがご家族皆様で楽しんで頂いたようで嬉しく思っております。ハレイワも充分に楽しんで頂いたかと確信しております。ハワイでまたスタッフ一同お待ちしております。

This tour starts early, but it is worth it.
Nice bus great friendly driver.
The climb is fast paced if you want to reach the top in time for sunrise, not easy and you will be out of breath.
Truest worth th effort.
The way down is slower paced and super easy.
Loved this and glad we did it.
Take water and start out quicker than you think you need to so you can take a quick breather break
This was a great hike. My husband and I aren’t expert hikers but found this to be enjoyable. The trail is very uneven but most trails are. Wear comfy shoes and take water to stay hydrated. It takes about an hour to get to the top and the views above Honolulu are amazing. We had time to take pictures and enjoy before heading back down. The driver of the shuttle was funny and made the trip even better.
Wear comfortable shoes and take water.
Our driver spoke English, and everyone around us spoke English too. We were anxious since we couldn't speak English, but it all worked out somehow. We enjoyed the transportation as well.

This was well worth the money, amazing place, beautiful rainforest, you will get a little wet, and muddy, bring water, our driver Mathew K was great, got us there safe, had water for us at the end, would definitely do it again.
Dress appropriately, not a hike to do in slipper (flip flops) or dress/casual shoes, hiking shoes.
Relaxed and peaceful Haleiwa.
I think it's more affordable than requesting an Uber round trip.
Since it departs at 7:30, many shops were closed upon arrival. It seems to start getting lively around 11:00.
Participating in the mini tour was a great decision.
Visiting that famous sign against the blue sky was delightful!
I was very grateful for the guide's explanations and the opportunity for photos, especially as a first-time visitor.
When I asked during the photo session under the sign, "Do you have any recommended poses?"
The response was a bit cool, saying, "Please think of one yourself."
(Thinking back, you can't park there for a long time, can you? m(_ _)m)
I'm glad I could see a different view from Waikiki.
Thank you, guide!
のんびり平和なハレイワ。
Uber往復依頼よりも割安だと思う。

Although I go to the gym, climbing the mountain was quite tough for someone in their 60s. I thought to myself, "This might be my last experience in life?" as I climbed. At the summit, I was able to see the hotel district and the distant sea, making all the sweat and effort worthwhile. It really made me realize that the Earth is round!
They handled the application process for climbing, which you can't do without prior approval, and the entrance fee was included! They also provided water, so all I had to do was show up in sneakers and light workout clothes! There was also a shuttle service to the hotel.
Considering that I would have to check the bus schedule, take the bus, and handle the application myself, I think this was quite a good deal.
ジムに通っているとはいえ、60代のこの身には結構厳しい山登りでした。人生でこれが最後の体験かも？と思いながら登りました。頂上ではホテル街や遠い海原までも一望でき、汗水流して登った甲斐がありました。地球って丸いんだな！って認識できます。
事前申請しないと登れないところを代行してもらえるし、入山料？も込み！ そしてお水も用意してくださり、こちらはスニーカーと軽い運動できる服装で行くだけ！ホテルへの送迎もついていました。
これをバス時間を調べてバスに乗って、事前の申請もして、と考えるとお安いのではないかと思います。

The driver was very kind. Climbing the mountain might be tough, but the beautiful scenery made it very satisfying.

Riding a horse while gazing at the blue sea and sky, and the pure white beach was the plan! However, it unexpectedly rained!! It wasn't just a quick shower; it rained continuously. I was really disappointed, but it became a good memory nonetheless.
The driver was very talkative and knowledgeable about the tour. He understood the horses' personalities well, so he rejected the more mischievous ones and arranged for us to ride the well-behaved horses. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a relaxing horseback ride without any issues.
In Haleiwa, we bought limited edition products and enjoyed delicious food. We had so much fun that we almost ran out of time.
It was so enjoyable that I hope to participate again someday, hopefully on a sunny day!
青い海と空、真っ白なビーチを眺めながら馬に乗る！予定でしたが、まさかの雨天！！スコールでもなく、ずっと雨。
すごく残念でしたがそれもまたいい思い出。
ドライバーの方はとてもお話上手でこのツアーを熟知されています。
馬の性格もよく分かっているので、ヤンチャな馬は先に拒否してくださって、私たちにはお利口さんの馬を手配してくださいました。
そのおかげで私たちは特に困ることなくのんびり乗馬を楽しめました。
ハレイワではハレイワ限定商品を買ったり、美味しいもの食べたり。時間が足りないくらい楽しめました。
とても楽しかったので、またいつか次は晴れた日に参加できたらいいなと思います。

My wife wanted to visit Diamond Head❣️ Since I was still feeling the fatigue in my legs from the previous day's tour of Pearl Harbor and bowling, I took my time climbing to the top. Even so, I had two hours until the pick-up car arrived, so I was in no rush.
The view was absolutely amazing❣️ It felt great❣️
カミさん所望のダイヤモンドヘッド❣️
前日のパールハーバー見学とボウリングの疲労が脚に残っていたので、休憩しながら登頂しました。それでも、迎えの車まで2時間あったので、余裕でした。

Especially for those over sixty:
1. I recommend drinks like Pocari Sweat or Aquarius instead of water or tea.
2. I suggest wearing familiar shoes that provide good support.
特に還暦過ぎた方には
①水やお茶よりも、ポカリとかアクエリをお勧めします。
②靴は、履き慣れた、ホールドのしっかりしたものをお勧めします。

The weather was great, and I'm glad I went on the North Shore tour. The last time I went, I didn't have a very good impression, but this time the guide was amazing. Their explanations, attentiveness, and proactive photo-taking were all excellent. I would love to go with this guide again next time. Thank you! 😊
