Someone mentioned in the comments that the quality of the tour depends on the weather and the guide, and I truly felt that was the case! Our guide, U, provided wonderful explanations and was very considerate. Although the vehicle was full, it turned out to be a fun and fulfilling day.

The canyon horseback riding at Happy Trails was my first experience, and I was nervous, but I would love to try it again. We had lunch at Mackey's, and unexpectedly had time for shopping in Haleiwa, making it a truly lovely tour. Thank you very much!

どなたかの感想欄に、ツアーの良し悪しは、天気とガイド次第とありましたが、その通りだと実感！ガイドUさんは、丁寧な説明と気遣いも素晴らしく、車は満員でしたが、楽しく充実した一日となりました。
渓谷乗馬Happy Trailsは、初めてでドキドキでしたが、またトライしたいです。
マッキーズで昼食、思いがけずハレイワでの買い物の時間もあり、大変素敵なツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

Parasailing was my first experience, and since I don't understand English, I was quite worried, but I'm glad I tried it!! I was concerned about getting injured and what would happen if I couldn't understand the instructions, but they explained everything with gestures, and there weren't any difficult steps to follow. The anxiety was only before taking off, but once I was in the air, I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the ocean. While flying, it just felt amazing.

The photo service was $30, and they took over 100 pictures. I brought a waterproof digital camera (hanging around my neck), so I was able to take photos from the sky (the flight was stable enough), but I couldn't take pictures of myself, so it was great to have them taken for wonderful memories.

There was a bit of trouble with the pickup car being late, but the hotel front desk contacted them, and everything worked out. It was just Hawaiian time, I guess (laughs).

パラセイリングは初めて、英語もわからないので、かなり悩みましたが
やってみて良かった！！
怪我しないかな…、
説明が聞き取れなかったらどうしよう…と心配していましたが
身振り手振りで説明してもらえるし、そもそも難しい手順はありません。
不安なのは飛ぶまでで、いったん飛んでしまったら海の美しさに圧倒されてます。
飛んでいる間は、とにかく気持ちがいいです。

Photoサービスは３０$で１００枚以上撮ってもらえました。
防水のデジカメを（首からぶら下げて）持っていったので
空からの写真は撮れましたが（それほど飛行は安定しています）
自分の写真は撮れないので、撮ってもらって良い思い出になりました。

迎えの車が遅れるというトラブルがありましたが、
ホテルのフロントから連絡を入れてもらって事なきを得ました。
そこはハワイタイムということで(笑)

It was such a lot of fun. Russel and Kevin were excellent professionals and really made us feel safe with their knowledge and skill. We really enjoyed the whole excursion from start to finish. The boat handled the windy and choppy conditions very comfortably. Para-sailing about 600 ft. above the ocean off Waikiki harbour was so quiet and exhilarating.

I thought the children might be scared, but surprisingly they were quite happy. The people who rode with us were very kind, and the children became attached to them. If there's a chance, maybe next time too?!

子供が怖がるかなとも思ったが意外と喜んでました。同乗した方々が非常にやさしく、子供もなついていました。機会があれば次回も？！

The children were satisfied. The parents were okay. Since we have experience in other countries, I guess this is about what we expected? Overall, it was a well-organized tour.

子供は満足。親はまあまあ。他国での経験があるので、こんなもんかな？全般的には良くまとまったツアーでした。

I was a bit nervous since it was my first time, but I felt refreshed and had a great time. I experienced more seasickness than I expected, but the staff provided excellent support, which made me feel at ease.

初めてで少し緊張していましたが、気分爽快で楽しかったです。予想以上に船酔いしてしまいましたが、スタッフがしっかりフォローしてくれたので安心でした。

I made a last-minute reservation online the day before, but the process from booking to pickup to the actual paragliding was smooth, and I was able to enjoy it comfortably (≧∇≦). I'm very satisfied!

前日に現地で急遽ネットから予約しましたが、予約→ピックアップ→本番とスムーズで、快適にパラセイリングが出来ました（≧∇≦）大満足です！

Nice and professional crew, expectations were met completely. Had a great time on the line together with my girlfriend and a great view on Waikiki.

2 kids and dad together! What a blast! Will do this again!

There may be some language issues during the round trip from the yacht harbor to the point, but the captain's administrative response was not very exciting. The parasailing itself was truly wonderful. The shuttle bus driver did their best to cheer us up with broken Japanese. Of course, I doubled the tip.

ヨットハーバーからポイントまでの往復時は言葉の問題は多少あるかもしれませんがキャプテン等の事務的な対応はテンションがあがりませんでした。パラセイリング自体は大変すばらいものでした。シャトルバスのドライバーは片言の日本語で一生懸命盛り上げてくれました。チップはもちろん倍額させていただきました。

Last time, I rode on the smaller submarine, so this time I chose the larger one called the Premium Submarine. The size difference is quite significant, and it was impressive when it surfaced. The interior is spacious, and the large windows make it easy to see underwater. Entering involves descending a vertical ladder, which adds a bit of tension. The wreckage of ships and planes is mysterious.

前回一度小さな方の潜水艦に乗ったことがありましたので今回プレミアムサブマリンと言う大きな方を選択しました。大きさもかなり違い浮上して来る時は圧巻でした艦内も広く窓も大きいので水中が見やすいです。入る時は垂直の梯子で降りるので少し緊張感有ります、船や飛行機の残骸は神秘的です。

On the day of the event, which was a Sunday, traffic was expected to be heavy, but thanks to the local guide's coordination and flexible response, the experience was packed with delicious highlights. Additionally, at the request of the participants, we made an unexpected stop at a coffee farm on the way back, where I was able to get coffee that can't be found in Waikiki.

I was nervous about horseback riding for the first time, but there were no issues at all! I thoroughly enjoyed the extraordinary views from the horse's back and was very satisfied.

参加当日は日曜日ということもあり渋滞が予想されましたが、現地ガイドさんの采配と臨機応変な対応により、おいしいところが凝縮された内容でした。また、参加者のリクエストで帰る途中、予定になかったコーヒーファームにも寄っていただきワイキキでは買えないコーヒーを入手できました。
初めての乗馬で緊張しましたが、まったく問題なし！馬の背中から非日常の景色を楽しめて大満足です。

This time, I went to Sea Life Park. It was my first visit, and I was excited to play with the dolphins as I headed to the pool. What awaited me was a large dolphin. I received a warm welcome and immediately shook hands and kissed the dolphin. It was such a wonderful welcome. I remember feeling so happy that my heart was racing. After that, I swam together with the dolphin and had a fun day. I definitely think everyone should go; you won't regret it. The excitement continues to linger.

今回はシ－ライフパ－クにいきました。初めてでしたがイルカと遊ぶを楽しみに、ワクワクしながらプ－ルにいきました。待っていたのは大きなイルカでした。歓迎を受けて早々握手を行いすぐさまイルカとキスをしました。なんとすばらしい歓迎でした。とにかく嬉しくて心臓がドキドキしたのを覚えています。その後一緒に泳いだり、楽しい一日を過ごしました。
皆さん絶対行って損はないとおもいます。感動がつづくこのごろです。

My wife and I were staying in Waikiki for a week and everyone said we need to make a trip to the North Shore when on Oahu. We scoured Trip Advisor, Yelp and other Hawaii Adventure sites and this one looked appealing. Turns out to be a great deal if you are looking for transportation to the North Shore and a variety of options to choose from once you get there. We chose to snorkel in the mornng at Sharks Cove then spend an hour at Waimea Bay, then in the afternoon we did the SUP down the river in Halewia.
The tour is setup where they pick you up on a ~20 person bus from multiple Waikiki hotels, then up a narrated drive up to the North Shore which took about 1 1/2 hours all together. Sam was our host for the day and is awesome at his job. Very knowledgable, humourous and makes the tour a good time. Once you are there, you get to see the options for the day such as hanging at the beach of Waimea Bay, surfing, snorkeling, beach bike cruise, Waimea Botanical Gardens, stand up paddle boarding and probably a few others options that I am missing. There is no additional cost to do these unless you want to do more than two. If there was one draw back for the day, it was that we could have enjoyed a few more hours on the beach and shopping at the local surf shops there.
Overall, great trip and glad we did it!

The scheduled date was canceled due to rough waves and was carried out the next day. I participated this time as a preview, thinking of joining with my grandchildren next time. I heard that the person who participated with me was doing this for the fifth time, and I joined with high expectations, but it turned out to be quite ordinary, which was a bit disappointing. I think it would be great if someone fluent in English could explain. I believe the person explaining should incorporate unique stories to make it even better. I think my grandchildren will have to give up next time due to language barriers.

予約した日程は、波が荒く中止で翌日に実行。次回、孫達と一緒にと思い、下見で今回参加しました。一緒に参加した人は今回で５回目だと聞き、期待度ピークで参加したら、余りにも普通で、期待外れでチョット残念。英語が堪能な方は最高だと思いました。説明する方がユニークな話を交えて最高だと思います。次回孫達は言葉の関係が有り断念せざるを得ないと思っています。

We are a couple well over 60 years old. In March, we went to Maui and boldly tried activities we had never done in Hawaii before. As shown in the photo, we wore sturdy harnesses and helmets, trusting our lives to pulleys and wire ropes as we soared from about 300 meters to 800 meters. At first, we glided a couple of times over a grassy area, and then crossing the valley was thrilling.

It was over in a flash, but we had a great time. Next time, we will bring our grandchildren.

60歳をとうに超えた夫婦です。3月にマウイ島へ行き、いままでハワイでやったことのない遊びに思い切って挑戦しました。　写真のようにかなりしっかりしたハーネス・ヘルメットなどを付けて、滑車とワイヤーロープに命を託してガーッと一気に300mから800mくらいを滑空します。始めは写真のように草原の上で２、３回、その後の谷越えはスリルがありました。
あっというまでしたが、とても楽しかったです。次回は孫を連れて行きます。

I participated with my 10-year-old and 7-year-old children. It was English-only, but there was a brochure written in Japanese, so I didn't have any particular difficulties. The waves were calm, but there was enough rocking that I felt a bit seasick even after taking motion sickness medication. However, once we were in the cage, there were so many sharks that I forgot about the seasickness and had a great time. My 7-year-old son loves sharks, so he was very excited. When he drew a picture of a shark and gave it to the captain on the way back, the captain was very happy. Later, I heard from a local that many participants were from Australia, and while there are shark tours in Australia, they are extremely expensive, so everyone seems to do them here. I bought the DVD for $75, and it became a wonderful memory. I want to go again, but I'm a bit scared of seasickness...

10歳と7歳の子供と参加しました。
英語オンリーですが日本語で書かれたパンフレットもあり、特に困った事はありませんでした。
波は穏やかでしたが酔い止めを飲んでても酔うくらいの揺れはありました。
でも、檻に入ったらたくさんのサメがいて酔いも忘れるほど楽しかったです。
7歳の息子はサメが大好きなので大興奮してました。
息子が帰りにサメの絵を描いて船長さんに渡したらとても喜んでくれました。
後で現地の方に聞いたら、オーストラリアの参加者のかたが多くオーストラリアにもサメツアーはあるのですがものすごく高いので皆さんこちらでやられるそうです。
DVDが75ドルで買いましたがとても良い思い出になりました。
また行きたいけど、船酔いが恐いかな…

In a word, it was so much fun that I want to experience it again. We went up to a height of 150 meters, which was quite high, and the view was beautiful. They will burn the photos onto a CD for $30, and I think it's worth buying. We were worried about theft and didn't bring any money, but there were other Japanese groups there, so theft probably isn't a concern. Definitely give it a try!

一言で言うともう一度体験したいくらい楽しかったです。150mの高さにしたのですが結構高く景色も綺麗でした。写真を$30でCDに焼いてくれますが、これは買ったほうがいいと思います。私たちは盗難が怖くお金を持参しなかったのですが、他の日本人のグループの方もいて盗難とかはおそらく心配なさそです。是非体験してみてください、

We spent a week in Oahu at the end of March and visited this ranch with our 6-year-old and 4-year-old daughters. Since we had made a reservation in advance, there were no particularly complicated procedures, and we hardly needed any English, haha. The friendly female staff made the children very happy. However, considering that it takes about two hours round trip from Waikiki, the 30-minute horse ride felt a bit short... The ranch had peacocks running around and was a spacious and lovely place!

3月末から1週間オアフで過ごし、6歳と
4歳の娘たちとこの牧場に遊びに来ました。事前に予約をしているので、特に複雑な手続きなし、英語もほぼ不要でした笑
親切な女性のスタッフで子どもたちも満足してもどってきました^^でもワイキキから往復2時間を考えるとホースライド30分だとちょっと短いかな…。
牧場には、くじゃくが走り回り、広くて素敵な場所でした！

Nice view!
I try Parasailing every year!
I will try parasailing at Hawaii parasailing next year!

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I was invited by my daughter to visit Kualoa for the first time. After having a fun conversation with the pickup staff, we arrived after about an hour on the bus. We participated in the location tour, a jeep tour, and a Kaneohe Bay cruise. The location tour was just as I imagined, and it was quite noisy as we were with a group from a training trip in Japan. The jeep tour was more enjoyable than I expected. Our driver, Mr. Leonald, provided easy-to-understand explanations and offered great service by taking photos at the stopping points. The cruise felt a bit like a way to kill time, but the ocean was very beautiful. I think Kualoa is a place worth visiting at least once to enjoy the great nature.

ハワイ６度目にして、娘に誘われクアロアに始めて行きました。
ピックアップのスタッフと楽しく話しながら、バスに揺られて一時間程で到着しました。
ロケ地めぐりとジープツアー、カネオヘ湾クルーズに参加しました。
ロケ地めぐりは想像通りで、日本の研修旅行の団体と一緒になって、うるさかったです。
ジープツアーが思った以上に楽しかったです。ドライバーのMr.Leonaldの説明が分かり易く、途中の停車ポイントでも写真を撮ってくれたりサービス満点でした。
クルーズは時間つぶしの感がありましたが、海がとても綺麗でした。
クアロアの大自然を満喫して一度は行っても良い場所だと思いました。

I participated in the 120m early morning activity.
There were three groups, but all were Japanese!!
It was reassuring.

Since I had read the reviews thoroughly, I immediately recognized that the welcoming bus was driven by Yano-san, and I enjoyed the ride while chatting in broken Japanese.

After the first group finished, when I put on the equipment and soared into the sky, the boat became smaller and smaller, and I found myself in a quiet world.
I had a fantastic view of Diamond Head and the city of Waikiki; it was over in no time.
Even my companion, who is supposed to have a fear of heights, seemed to be having fun.
I didn't make any requests, and in the end, all groups were dunked into the sea up to their waists...
Getting soaked became one of my memories of Hawaii, so I was glad about that.
The waiting time on the cruiser was also enjoyable with the refreshing breeze.

For some reason, I was asked whether I wanted to take photos after the first group had flown, so it felt a bit unfortunate for those who had already taken off and weren't asked.
The response in that regard felt a bit casual.
The photos were saved on an SD card, and it was about $30 for around 70 pictures, but some were blurry or questionable, so compared to reviews mentioning over 100 photos, it felt a bit pricey. It seemed like the person taking the photos was a newcomer?
However, since I didn't bring a camera, I decided to buy them, thinking of it as a tourist price, and in the end, I think it was a good choice. The quality was great since it was a DSLR.

By the way, we left a $10 tip for the two of us.

The reception staff were also good at broken Japanese!
You don't need to worry if you can't speak English.

I definitely recommend this to anyone struggling with activities in Hawaii!!

(I gave it four stars because there was a bit of a gap in the response between Yano-san and the boat captains. This might be typical in Hawaii, though...)

早朝の120mに参加しました。
三組の参加でしたが、全組日本人！！
安心感もありました。

レビューを熟読していたので、お迎えのバスはヤノさんだと一目でわかり、道中はカタコトの日本語で楽しませて頂きました。

一組目がおわり、いざ、装置をつけて空に舞い上がってみると
ボートがどんどん小さくなり静かな世界。
ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街が一望でき、素晴らしい眺めで、あっという間でした。
一緒に行った相手も高所恐怖症のはずが、
楽しそうにしていました。
あえて何もリクエストしなかったら、最後は全組腰の位置までじゃぶんと海に落とされましたが…
びしょ濡れになったのもまた、ハワイの思い出のひとつになってよかったです。
待ち時間のクルーザーも風が気持ちよくて楽しかったですよ～

写真はなぜか、一組目が飛んでから撮るかどうか聞かれたので、既に飛び立っていて聞かれなかった方が少し可哀想でした。
その辺り対応は適当な感じでした。
写真はSDカードに入れてくれて、３０ドルで70枚くらいでしたが、ぶれてたり、ん？というものもあったので、100枚以上撮ってくれたレビューを見てしまうと少し割高な感じ。撮っていたのもレクチヤーされてたので新人さん？の様でした。
でもカメラを持っていかなかったので、観光地価格だと思い割りきって買いましたが結果よかったかなと思っています。一眼レフなので、画質はバッチリでした。

因みにチップは二人で１０ドル置いてきました。

受付のお姉さん方も、カタコトですが日本語上手でしたよー！
英語喋れなくても大丈夫です。

ハワイのアクティビティに悩んでる方には是非オススメしたいです！！

(ヤノさんと、ボートのキャプテン達の対応に少し落差があったので、星４つにしました。ハワイではこんなものかもしれませんが…)

wow! Cannot even describe the experience we had.... I really wanted my mother to enjoy this the most and it was great! Although she could not make the hike (because of knee surgery) she had a blast and patiently waited for me to tour and get the pictures for her to cherish.... The hike is a challenge for people with balance issuees, walking, and stairs!!!!! When you climb, you climb but overall we had a perfect and safe trip to this landmark that will be cherished!!!!

I was able to see the scenery I saw in the movie.
There was an explanation in Japanese, so it was easy to understand.
I was able to return in the evening, so I could schedule something else for the night.

映画で見た景色を見ることができました。
日本語の説明があったので、わかりやすかったです。
夕方には帰ってこれたので、夜に別の予定も入れられました。

The staff is really really nice !!
They are So many things to do ( snorkelling / paddle / games ...)
This is really not expensive for all that.
The weather wasn't really good this day but still had a great great time

I was torn between horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, but it turned out to be the right choice.

The 90-minute ride was quite fulfilling.

There were a total of eight people: two Japanese couples and four from an Asian family.

With staff positioned at the front and back, there's no need to worry if the horses take a detour or lag behind, as they guide you along the way.

We rode in a line through the forest, and the forest bathing felt wonderful. At the end, we were moved to see the ocean. They also took plenty of photos with our cameras.

Overall, since we were with others participating in different activities, there was a bit of wasted time. We stopped at places that weren't necessary to visit.

A package that includes just horseback riding and free time in Haleiwa Town would be great.

クアロア牧場での乗馬と迷いましたが、こちらで大正解でした。
９０分の乗馬はかなり乗り応えあります。

全部で８人。
日本人２人×２組、アジアのファミリー４。

先頭と最後尾に、スタッフがつく形なので、
途中でお馬さんが寄り道したり、遅くなったりしても、
誘導してくれるので心配いりません。

列になって、森の中を進んでいきます。
森林浴がとても気持ちいいです♪
最後に海が見えてきて、感動です。
写真も自分たちのカメラでいっぱいとってくれました。


全体としては、
他のアクティビティーに参加する人と一緒なので、
まあまあ時間のロスがあります。
行かなくていいとこにも寄ります。

ハレイワタウンでのフリータイムと乗馬だけのセットだといいです。

Horseback riding on the sandy beach was only for taking photos; we just slowly walked along the flat path by the coast. The scenery and sea breeze were pleasant. The horse was gentle, so I hardly had to control it and was just sitting there. The staff were kind and beautiful, which was lovely, but honestly... the riding itself wasn't very interesting, so I struggled a lot with the tip after the ride. I think it's suitable for beginners.

砂浜での乗馬は写真撮影の時だけ、海岸脇の平らな歩道をゆっくり散歩するだけでした。景色と海風は気持ち良かったです。馬は大人しいのでほとんど操作することがなく、だだ乗っているだけでした。スタッフは親切でしたし美人さんで素敵だったんですけど、正直・・・乗馬自体は、あまり面白くなかったので乗馬終了後のチップにすごく困りました。初心者向けだと思います。

Actually, my wife teaches hula in Japan, so I am quite familiar with it. However, since my wife's sister was visiting Hawaii for the first time, we decided to take her to see a hula and Hawaiian show on the terrace of the Hilton Hotel. The show included Tahitian dance and some slightly arranged hula, and if you view it as a show, it was enjoyable enough. The food was standard and didn't change much, and it seemed that the seating didn't matter too much, so we were glad we got the standard tickets!

実は妻が日本でフラの教室をしていますので、私もかなりフラに関しては馴染み深いのですが、妻の姉が今回初ハワイでしたので、ショー形式のフラ・ハワイアンショーをヒルトンホテルの中階層のテラスで見せてあげようと出かけてきました。タヒチアンあり、多少アレンジされたフラが有り、ショーとして割り切って見ればそれなりに楽しめるショーでした。食事の内容はスタンダードも変わりませんし、席もあまり関係ないようですので、スタンダードチケットで私達はかえってよかったね！と、思った位でした。

I participated with my 9-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter. All three of us have riding licenses, but there were no other horseback riding options available due to age, height, and transportation. The tour included various activities such as horseback riding, encountering sea turtles, visiting a pineapple farm, seeing the "What Tree Is That?" tree, and sightseeing in Haleiwa Town, making it an incredibly fun experience. Our dream of horseback riding together as a family came true, and we also got to enjoy delicious garlic shrimp in Haleiwa Town, which left us truly satisfied. The Japanese male guide and the American women at the ranch were very kind and took many photos for us, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

９歳の息子、１１歳の娘と私の３人で参加しました。
私達は３人とも乗馬のライセンスを持っていますが、年齢、身長、送迎等で参加可能な乗馬が他にありませんでした。
色々なツアーも含まれていて、乗馬、海カメ遭遇、パイナップル農園、「この木何の木」の木、ハレイワタウン観光も含めて、凄く楽しい体験でした。
夢だった親子３人での乗馬も叶い、ハレイワタウンでの凄く美味しいガーリックシュリンプも食べられて、本当に大満足です。
ガイドの日本人男性も、牧場のアメリカ人女性達も沢山写真を撮って下さったり、凄く親切で、大満足でした。

What a great way to spend the morning. Was with our family of 7 so had the boat to ourselves. The guides were a blast and played great music. Told us specifically how to load into the harnesses and "fly". Our 10 minutes were so peaceful, got dunked 2x (which was an added bonus). Just wish parking instructions were a bit clearer but that was the phone's fault, ended up walking all the way around the pier. What a great memory. The guide took great pictures and was totally worth the $30.00!
