Enjoyed it, it was nice. It's worth the money for the SUP and the kayaking. However, not the snorkeling.
Water is too murky for it.
I think it would be good to allow the swimmers to sign a release to not have to wear a life jacket. The area they give you to paddle and kayak on is limited and very close to the shore area.

I checked the travel time and aerial photos of the ranch on Google Maps to familiarize myself with the geography, then entered the address into the GPS of the rental car and headed there. I arrived in about an hour and a half without getting lost. I drove along the coastal road, and after entering an unpaved road marked by signs, I came to a parking area that also serves as a square on the left. On the right side of the square, there are restrooms, a handwashing area, playground equipment, and about 20 goats.
In front of the square, there is a small hut where I parked my car on the right side and handed my voucher to the person inside the hut to check in. To the left of the hut, there were about 10 horses tied up, along with free-roaming donkeys, dogs, and a rooster wandering around, which came close enough to pet while waiting for the start. I agreed to and signed the English waiver (which states that horseback riding carries risks such as falling, and the ranch is not responsible for them) and chose a helmet. The helmet has a dial at the back for size adjustment.
A man from the ranch approached me and mentioned that they take paid photos during the ride, so I signed up. It was about $40 for a set of two. I made the payment by credit card on the spot, provided my email address, and received a receipt that included a note saying, "Your photos are in the Scene C folder from 7/28. Please enter the password ◯◯ to open and download them," along with the address of the Gunstock Ranch website, where dozens of photos were uploaded later.
We were on a 90-minute course, and both my group and the other participants were families with children aged 7 to 9, totaling 8 people. Two female staff members guided us in a line at a leisurely pace. At a hill where we could see the ocean, we were able to hand over our cameras to have photos taken. After that, we returned down a small hill.
Although no Japanese was spoken, we were able to communicate with basic middle school English. The instructions for riding, turning, moving forward, and stopping were simple. The horses were calm and followed commands well, but occasionally they would stop completely, and when I was struggling, they would relieve themselves.
Also, I highly recommend wrapping a scarf around your neck, as it can get sunburned during the long ride. I couldn't help my child when they were scratching their neck from the sunburn.
After the ride, each child received a sugar cube at the hut to feed the horses, and the horses licked their palms. (There is soap and napkins available at the handwashing area.) It seemed that 90 minutes was long for the children, but it was a great experience since riding alone is not something they can do in Japan. They provided smaller horses for the kids, and there was no sense of danger.
At the end, I received a discount card for the next visit. It was a wonderful experience to leisurely stroll around the spacious ranch on horseback.
グーグルマップで所要時間と牧場の航空写真を確認して地理を頭に入れておき、レンタカーでナビに住所を入力して向かいました。1時間半位で迷うことなくたどり着けました。海岸沿いの道を進み、看板を目印に未舗装の道に入ってしばらく進むと左手に駐車場を兼ねた広場に出ます。広場の右手にはトイレ、手洗い場、遊具があり、20匹ほどのやぎ?も飼われています。
広場正面に小さな小屋がありその右手に車を止め、小屋にいる方にバウチャーを渡してチェックインしました。
小屋の左手には馬が10頭くらい繋がれていて、他に放し飼いのロバ、犬、おんどりがウロウロ、近くに来るので撫でたりして開始を待つ間に、英語表記の免責説明書(乗馬には落馬等危険が伴うこと、牧場がそれに責任を負わないこと等)に同意してサインし、ヘルメットを選びました。ヘルメットは後頭部にダイヤルがありサイズ調整できます。
牧場の男性が「有料で乗馬中の写真を撮っている」と話しかけてきたので申し込みます。二人セットで40ドル位でした。その場でクレジット決裁、メールアドレスを伝えると領収書が届き、その中に「あなたの写真は7/28のシーンCフォルダにあります。パスワード◯◯を入力して開きダウンロードしてください」と、ガンストックランチのホームページアドレスが記載されており、後日写真が数十枚アップされていました。
私達は90分コースでしたが、他の参加者も私達も7〜9才の子供がいるファミリーで総勢8名、二人の女性スタッフが前後について一列になってカポカポのんびり進みました。途中海が見える丘では自分達のカメラを渡して写真を撮ってもらえます。その後小高い丘を下って帰りました。
日本語は全く通じませんが、中学英語程度で意志疎通はできました。乗馬方法、曲がる、進む、止まる、の指示も簡単でした。馬はおとなしくよく指示に従いますが時々全く動かずゴズ困っていたら大量のおしっこをしたりうんちをしたり。
あと、長時間首筋が日に焼けるので首筋にスカーフを巻いておくことをぜひオススメします。子供が日に焼けて首を掻いていてもそばに行って助けてやれなかったので。
乗馬が終わると子供は小屋で一人ひとつ角砂糖をもらい、馬に食べさせて手のひらをペロンと舐められていました。(手洗い場に石鹸もナフキンもあります。)
子供に90分は長かったようですが、引馬でなく一人で乗る体験は日本ではできないのでよかったです。子供には小さめの馬を用意してくれたし、危険を感じることはありませんでした。
次回割引のカードを最後にもらいました。
広々とした牧場内をのんびり馬で散歩、素敵な体験でした。

We were a group of 7 and attended this event on the night of our arrival. The food was really good for a mass serving and the show was fantastic. It was, in fact, wheelchair accessible and all the folks we cam into contact with couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating.

We participated as a family of five, with two children and an infant. My wife and the infant did not go into the cage but observed from the boat plan. You can see the sharks well even from the boat. When the captain threw a mysterious can with a rope into the sea at the shark point, the sharks were attracted to it and gathered around. We were also allowed to throw in the can, so my wife and the kids got to do it several times.
As I mentioned in another review, the cage plan can be quite shaky, so I think it's better for those who get seasick to choose the boat plan and observe from the deck.
夫婦+子供2人+乳児1人の5人家族で参加して、妻と乳児はケージに入らずにボートプランで船の上から見学しました。
船上からでもサメはよく見えます。船長さんがサメポイントでヒモのついた謎の缶(?)を海に投げ入れると、サメたちが缶におびき寄せられてワラワラと寄ってきます。この缶を投げ入れるのもやらせてもらえるので、妻も子供も何度もやらせてもらってました。
もう一個のレビューで書きましたが、ケージプランは揺れがかなりしんどいので、酔いやすい人はボートプランで船上から見学するのがいいと思います

The North Shore Shark Adventures was a very neat and wonderful experience. The boat ride out to the shark cage took about 15-20min. The crew members really stressed about safety first and were thorough about directions. They even had a sense of humor, which makes everything better. When we reached the shark cage the crew members separated all the costumers in to two different groups and we were escorted into the shark cage that was floating in the ocean. Being in the shark cage was kind of rough. The waves would rock/bob the cage from side to side and up and down. You really had to hang on to the cage bars to obtain stability. I personally wrapped my legs and arms around the shark cage ladder, which I found to be helpful. As soon as I stuck my head under water what I saw was absolutely amazing. 15-20 sharks swimming and circling the cage, each shark was at least 6-8 feet long. It was so peaceful and serene to see these sharks in their natural habitat swimming freely. Just a quick suggestion that if you plan on swimming with the sharks you may want to schedule this event early on in your trip because cancellations may occur due to the oceans unpredictability. For safety reasons they may cancel your shark adventures but they will call you in advanced to let you know. I suggested that if you are driving to the North Shore you call them to ask about cancellations before you make the trip up north.

I participated with my 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter, while my wife and baby watched from the boat. All the other participants were Americans except for our group.
After about 15 to 20 minutes of being rocked by the boat, we arrived at the shark cage. I think we had come quite far out to sea.
Finally, we entered the cage to meet the sharks, but the waves were so strong that it was difficult to observe calmly.
My son and daughter were overwhelmed by the waves and quickly retired back to the boat, leaving me to see the sharks alone.
I was able to see the sharks up close, but due to the waves, I bumped my head against the cage and collided with others, which was quite tough.
On the way back, both I and the other participants didn't seem very energetic, including myself.
It might be better if the cage were a bit larger or if there were fewer participants at a time, but I think those who are prone to seasickness should carefully consider participating.
9歳の息子と7歳の娘、37歳の自分の3人で参加。妻と赤ん坊は船の上から見学しました。
参加者は自分たちグループ以外は全員アメリカ人でした。
船に揺られること15〜20分でサメケージに到着。けっこう沖の方まで来てたと思います。
いよいよケージに入ってサメとご対面しますが、サメよりも波がすごくて、落ち着いて観察するのがむずかしかったです。
息子と娘は波にやられて早々にリタイアして船に戻り、自分ひとりでサメを見ました。
いちおうサメは間近で見られましたが、波のせいでケージに頭をぶつけたり、他の人ともぶつかったり、かなりしんどかったです。
帰りの船では自分も含め、他の参加者もあまり元気がなかったですw
もう少しケージを広くするか、一回の参加者を少なくするかすれば多少マシになるかもしれませんが、酔いやすい人は参加は慎重に検討したほうがいいと思います。

I chose the free time plan because I wanted to relax in the town of Haleiwa. During the waiting time, I had the opportunity to talk with the driver and shared our action plan (wanting to eat garlic shrimp and chicken from Fumi's, and enjoy some Matsumoto's Shave Ice, as well as relax at the beach). The driver kindly offered to guide us. Since there were only two small groups exploring Haleiwa, we might have been lucky, but we stopped at the shrimp and chicken place to shop, and then he took us to the beach. With small children in tow, we were quite relieved not to have to move around on our own.
At the beach, we encountered a downpour and enjoyed shrimp and chicken in the rain, which was delicious. Within the limited time, we were able to efficiently achieve our goals, and I felt that participating in this tour was worthwhile. I thoroughly enjoyed Haleiwa.
I have one request for Veltra: while it states that the tour fee includes a tip, it would be helpful if you could specify how much the tip amount is. Since the driver was very kind, I was unsure how much to give as a tip, and knowing the included tip amount would make it easier to decide how much to give on the spot. I'm not very familiar with tipping customs.
ハレイワの街でゆっくりしたかったので、フリータイムプランを選びました。
待ち時間にドライバーさんと話す機会があったので、自分達の行動プラン(フリフリチキンとガーリックシュリンプ、マツモトシェイブアイスを食べたいこと、ビーチでゆっくり過ごしたいこと)を伝えると、案内してくださるとのこと。(ハレイワの街を散策するグループは2組で少人数だったので、運がよかったのかもしれませんが、)シュリンプ・チキンのお店で車を止めて頂き買い物し、その後、ビーチまで連れて行ってくださいました。小さな子供連れでしたので、自分達の足での移動が不安だったので、大変助かりました。
ビーチではスコールに遭遇し、雨の中、シュリンプやチキンを頂きましたが美味しかったです。
限られた時間の中で、効率的に目的を果たすことができて、このツアーに参加して得をした気持ちになりました。ハレイワを満喫できました。
Veltraさんに1点お願いがありまして、ツアー代金にチップを含むとありますが、チップ代がいくらなのかを明記して頂けると、わかりやすく助かります。ドライバーさんに親切にして頂いたので、チップをいくら渡すべきか悩み、ツアー代に含まれるチップ代がいくらかがわかると、その場で渡すチップの額を考えやすいと思いました。チップの習慣に不慣れですので。

We participated as a family of four, including two children (a third-year middle school student and a fourth-year elementary school student). We joined a movie location tour and a visit to Secret Island.
During the movie location tour, a Japanese guide explained the places used for filming movies and commercials while showing us the breathtaking spots on Oahu. The view of the coastline from the mountains was particularly stunning.
At Secret Island, we were able to casually experience various ocean activities, and the kids were very satisfied. They tried sea kayaking and paddling on a longboard for the first time. While opinions may vary, I appreciated that it wasn't a system where someone teaches you; instead, the equipment was just laid out for us to use freely, making it a very relaxed experience.

Last year, I went horseback riding in the canyon with my grandchild, and we did it twice during our stay this year as well. You might wonder why we went twice in two days, but that's how enjoyable it is. If you have the time, leisure, and budget, it's definitely worth trying. I've experienced other horseback riding activities, but so far, this is my favorite.
The owner, Mr. ○○, is friendly and provides thorough instructions on how to ride and control the horse. The course includes ups and downs and runs through wooded areas without a lead rope, and before you know it, the horseback riding time is over while enjoying views of Haleiwa Bay below.
If I can go to Hawaii again next year, I will likely go horseback riding again. I want to share more of my experiences, but seeing is believing, and everyone has different senses and ways to enjoy things, so I can't say much more. However, I definitely encourage you to try it!
昨年に続き今年も孫と一緒に渓谷乗馬を行いました。それも、滞在中2回も。
何で2回、二日間もと思われるかもしれませんが、それが楽しいんです、時間と暇と予算があれば、やってみる価値がありますね、他の乗馬体験もしましたが、今のところ、ここが一番気に入っています。
オーナーの○○さんも、気さくで乗馬のやり方、馬の操縦方法を丁寧にレクチャーしてくれます。
コースもアップダウンや木立の中を引き綱無しで走行し、途中ハレイワの湾を眼下に見てあっという間の乗馬時間でした。
おそらく、来年ハワイに行ければ、また乗馬をするでしょう。
もっと体験したことを書きたいのですが、百聞は一見にしかず、人それぞれに感覚、楽しみ方が違うので、何ともいえませんが、是非体験してみてください。

A car was waiting for us at the hotel at the meeting time! The person in charge of the shuttle was Mr. Yano, who is of Japanese descent. He was a very interesting person, speaking a mix of English and broken Japanese!
He had a round sticker and something like a paper band on his right arm, and after confirming the contents of the contract (which were all written in Japanese), we signed.
My friend and I requested a 9 AM pickup, and along with a Japanese family of three and a mother and child from New York, there were a total of seven of us.
When we arrived at the port and boarded the boat, the waves were really strong, and it was shaking a lot. I usually don't get motion sickness, but it was a good decision to take some anti-nausea medication!
We were called one group at a time, and it was finally time to start! Our group and the Japanese family were worried about the height, which was 45 meters. The mother and child from New York challenged the 120 meters. The view was amazing, and I felt so happy surrounded by the beautiful sky and sea!
Next time, I want to challenge either the 90 meters or 120 meters.
On the way back, Mr. Yano and I had a lively chat! It seems there are other people in charge of the shuttle as well, so those who got Mr. Yano were lucky!

I wanted to go horseback riding, so I looked for a plan that included transportation. Since I had been to Kualoa before, I decided to join this tour where we could visit various sightseeing spots and also go horseback riding.
Honestly, as an experienced rider, I found the horseback riding a bit lacking, and my husband, who has almost no experience, felt that he was just being carried by the horse and didn't find it enjoyable. (I don't expect a beginner to be able to control a horse.) However, the scenery was very beautiful.
One downside was that although it was supposed to include tips, there was a sign in the waiting room for horseback riding in Japanese stating that tips were not included in the tour. There were also two Americans participating separately who paid tips, and we ended up paying separately from the tour fee as well.
Additionally, for lunch, the guide ordered garlic shrimp for us to take out, but we had already paid in advance, so we couldn't use our coupon, and we didn't receive any change. The guide wasn't a bad person, but... it was disappointing.
とりあえず乗馬がしたい。という目的で送迎付のプランで探したところ、クアロアには前回行ったので、いろいろ観光地を回れて乗馬もできるこちらのツアーに参加させていただきました。
正直、乗馬は経験者の私には物足りなく、経験がゼロに等しい主人も馬が乗せてくれてる感が強く、おもしろさはなかったとのことでした。(素人が馬を制御できるとは思いませんが)。ただ、景色はとてもよかったです。ただ、チップ込のはずが、乗馬に待合室には日本語でツアーにはチップが含まれていません~という張り紙がしてあり、私たちのほかに別口でアメリカ人の二人組が参加していてチップを払っていて、私たちもツアー料金と別で払いました。
また、昼食にガーリックシュリンプをテイクアウトでガイドさんが注文しておいてくれたのですが、支払いも先に済ませてしまっていて、クーポン券が使用できなかった上、お釣りももらえませんでした。
ガイドさんは悪い人ではなかったのですが・・・。残念です。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
However, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding the tip and lunch.
I have shared your experience with the tour provider. The tips for the activities you participated in are included in the fee, but since the horseback riding venue is operated by a different company, tips are optional. I apologize for the lack of information provided to you.
Regarding lunch, if you have a coupon, please let the driver know when they explain lunch, and we will accommodate you. I also sincerely apologize for the issue with the change. I would like to process a refund, so I would appreciate it if you could let me know.
Based on your valuable feedback, we will strive to improve our services in the future. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us.

I usually spend my time relaxing by the hotel pool, but this time I participated in a tour with my child for the first time. Since my daughter is three years old, we chose this tour that doesn't require swimsuits. Since we were going anyway, both parents and grandparents joined in to touch the dolphins. Having a Japanese interpreter made it easy to enjoy without worries.
We got to interact with the dolphins, and during the rest of the time, we watched a show. There was also a slide in one corner, so we were able to spend the whole time without getting bored. For lunch, we made bento and brought a blanket to eat on the grass. (Although there weren't many others doing the same...)

So, honestly, a regular seat is perfectly fine. The food is the same. The show was absolutely wonderful.
I received a message that the meeting time is at 5 PM, but the doors open at 5 PM and the show starts around 6 or 7 PM, so I think it would be better to arrive a bit later to avoid the line at the entrance.

It was my first experience, and I was satisfied to be able to stand on the surfboard. Since it was a shallow area, two friends who accompanied me got injured on their feet by rocks when they fell off the board. I think the water depth varies with the tides, but I believe it's important to be cautious about injuries during the experience.
初めての体験でしたが、サーフボードに立つことができ満足です。水深が浅い場所での体験でしたので、同行した友人2人は、ボードから落ちた際、岩で足を怪我をしました。潮の満ち引きにより水深は違うと思いますが、体験の際は怪我には注意されると良いと思います。
ALOHA!!
We are all delighted that you enjoyed your time with us♪
Please do stop by again when you visit Hawaii!

I made a reservation for the very last time slot at 4 PM. My whole family was really looking forward to this during our trip, so we took motion sickness pills and were fully prepared. There was also an American family participating, and although I couldn't understand them well when they spoke quickly in English, they made sure to explain things clearly for us, which made me feel at ease. Since there were a lot of people, the waiting time was a bit long, but we had a wonderful experience. I definitely want to participate again.
一番最終の夕方4時を予約しました。家族全員、今回の旅行の中で一番楽しみにしていたので酔い止めを飲んで準備万端に。私たちの他にアメリカのファミリーが参加していて早口の英語でペラペラ喋られるとよく分からなかったけど、私たち向けにもちゃんと説明してくれたので安心して参加できました。人数が多かったので少し待ち時間が長かったけどすごく素敵な体験が出来ました。又、是非参加したいです。

We participated as a couple. We were impressed by the service spirit of the three crew members. Their conversations included exquisite wit, and their hospitality was on par with that of the Japanese. With about 20 customers, I believe everyone was satisfied.
夫婦で参加。3人いたクルーのサービス精神に感動。絶妙なウイットを盛り込んだ会話、おもてなしの心も日本人顔負け。20人ほどのお客様、誰もが満足したと思う。

The website was very informative and helpful if you took a minute to read it. We purchased the tickets and did not have to stand in the long line. My friend and family enjoyed the day and visit. The cost and donation was worth every penny!

Everyone except us was a foreigner and spoke English.
The English had quite a native pronunciation, so I had some trouble understanding, but I managed.
Parasailing had a beautiful view and was really nice!
I paid $30 for photos, but they also included a video as a service.
I didn't get as seasick as I expected.
私たち以外はみなさん外国の方で英語でした。
英語がかなりネイティブな発音だったのでなかなか聞き取れなくて困りましたが何とかいけました。
パラセイルはとても景色が良く綺麗で良かったです!
30ドルで写真も撮ってもらいましたがサービスで動画も入れてくれました。
思ったより船酔いはしなかったです。

They crew were fantastic along with the transport driver :)
It was an overall good experience but felt kind of cheated because it definitely didn't last 8minutes as purchased. Would have been 3 or 4 minutes at the most.
At least I can cross it off my bucket list.

This was my first time parasailing, and it felt amazing and wasn't scary at all. Actually, I'm not good with heights. A friend who loves Hawaii said it wasn't scary, so I decided to give it a try! In the end, I'm glad I participated. We took a shuttle to the boat dock and boarded with 11 people on one boat. It had been raining since the morning, but it stopped when we went out to sea, so we were lucky. However, there was some wind, so it was a bit bumpy.
I took motion sickness medication, so my daughter and I were fine, but my husband and son weren't feeling great. They said if we had stayed on any longer, it would have been tough. But the whole family agreed it was a great experience. We also bought photos for $30, which made for wonderful memories! The instructors were friendly, and we had a lot of fun.
今回、初パラセーリングでしたが、とても気持ち良かったし、怖くなかったです。実は私、高い所が苦手です。ハワイ好きの友人が、怖くないから!と言うのでチャレンジ!結果、参加して良かったです。送迎トローリーに乗りボート乗り場まで行き、11人で一隻に同乗しました。当日は朝から雨が降っていたのですが、沖へ出た時には止んでいたのでラッキーでしたが、風があったので、結構揺れた方?
酔い止めを飲んで行ったので、私と娘は大丈夫でしたが、主人と息子がイマイチ。。あれ以上長く乗っていたら、キツかったと言ってました。でも家族全員がやって良かったと言ってました。写真も30ドルで購入して、ホントに良い思い出です!インストラクターの方々も感じ良く、楽しかったです。

This activity was very helpful for my first trip to North Shore (^O^). The guide during the transportation was also enjoyable, and when we found the sea turtles at the end, it became a fun memory thanks to the guide's assistance (^∇^).
初めてノースショアに行くため、このアクティビティーがとても助かりました(^O^)移動中も
添乗員さんのガイドも楽しかったですし、
