All Reviews for North Shore, Oahu

The blue sea and the blue sky.
My first skydiving experience in the amazing place called Hawaii was truly a valuable experience!
The instructors were all cheerful, and it is definitely worth doing!

青い海、青い空。
ハワイという最高の場所で人生初のスカイダイビングは本当に貴重な体験になりました！
インストラクターも陽気な方ばかりで絶対にやる価値はあります！

My wife has experience riding horses at Kualoa Ranch and was determined to go horseback riding when we visited Hawaii. My two grandchildren, aged 7 and 10, were experiencing horseback riding for the first time. Since Kualoa Ranch only allows participants aged 10 and older, we were able to join this tour.

At first, we received instructions on how to handle the horses, but I was worried and anxious about whether the horses would listen to us.

The instructor rode at the front, holding the reins of my 7-year-old grandchild's horse, while each of us handled our own reins for the other horses. Next in line were the horses ridden by my 10-year-old grandchild, my wife, and myself, followed by the horses of four other participants in the tour, and finally the instructor's horse, making a total of ten horses. We rode through the valley for about 75 minutes.

The horses were smart; they stopped when the horse in front stopped and moved forward when it did. We hardly needed to use the reins to guide our horses, allowing us to enjoy a comfortable riding experience with views of the valley and the North Shore ocean occasionally visible.

I want to express my gratitude to my wife, the organizers of this tour, and the staff at the ranch for providing my grandchildren and me with such a memorable experience.

私の家内はクアロラ牧場での乗馬経験が有り、ハワイに行くなら絶対乗馬はしたいとのことでした。私と７歳と１０歳の孫は初めての乗馬体験です。クアロラ牧場は、１０歳以上しか参加できないので今回のツアーに参加させていただきました。

最初は、馬の取扱いについて説明してもっらったのですが、馬がきいてくれるのか心配で不安でした。

インストラクターの方が馬に乗って先頭で、７歳の孫の乗った馬の手綱を持って、後の馬は各自で手綱をひきます（持つ）。次に１０歳の孫の乗った馬、家内の乗った馬、私の乗った馬、後同じツアーに参加された４名の方の馬、最後インストラクターの方の乗った馬の１０頭の編成で渓谷を７５分ぐらい乗馬出来ました。

馬は賢く前の馬が止まれば止まり、進めば同じように進みます。ほとんど手綱を使って自分の馬に指示することなく、渓谷と時折見えるノースショアの海の眺望など、快適な乗馬体験が出来ました。

私も、孫二人も今までにない思い出に残る経験ができたことに、家内と今回のツアーの主催者、牧場の方々に感謝したいと思います。

This was my second time on the zip line! It was amazing! I want to go again so badly!

It started to rain (a downpour?) halfway through, and I got completely soaked, but it only lasted about 10 minutes before the sky cleared up again. Of course, I didn't have a raincoat or anything, so I was wet the whole time. It was so much fun that I thought, "Anything goes!"

However, there was a problem with the pickup location. Even though I arrived on time, it seemed like they decided I wasn't there right away, and I ended up waiting for 30 minutes. I had to call them to finally get picked up, which was good, but this happened both the first and second time, and it was really frustrating.

I would have appreciated it if they could have specified the location more clearly or called out names to help with the pickup.

If I get the chance to go again, I would definitely like to participate!

ジップライン2回目です！最高です！
本当にもう一回行きたい！と思えほど最高です。

途中で雨(スコール?)が降って来て、びしょ濡れになりましたが、10分くらい降ってすぐまた快晴になりました。
もちろん、カッパなどはありませんので、ま濡れながらです。楽しいので、なんでもありって思っちゃいます！！

ただ、ピックアップの場所の指定が難ありです。集合時間に着いているのに、すぐ居ないと判断されたみたいで、30分経ってもずーっと待ちぼうけでした。
こちらが電話をしてなんとか、迎えに来てもらえたのでよかったですが、1回目も2回目もそんな状況で、本当に困ります。

もう少し具体的に、場所を指定してもらったり、名前を読み上げてもらったり、そんな対応をして頂けたらもっと嬉しかったです。

また行ける機会があれば、是非参加したいです！

This was a lot of fun but I think it would have been better if the bus would go to the waterfall and one beach place to allow more time to do activities. Our bus driver was informative but repeated himself alot which did get a little annoying at times.

I wanted to experience horseback riding in a breathtaking setting, so I visited Kualoa just for that. It seems that the routes for the one-hour course and the two-hour course are completely different. I participated in the one-hour course, but I can't help but wonder if the two-hour course offers even more stunning views. I felt that the one-hour course was a bit lacking. Since we just walked slowly behind the horse in front of us, I ended up feeling sleepy along the way. (Though it was pleasant in its own way...) If I have the chance next time, I definitely want to challenge myself with the two-hour course.

絶景の中で乗馬体験をしたいと思い、乗馬の為だけにクアロアを訪れました。
１時間コースと２時間コースでは、ルートが全く違うようです。
１時間コースに参加しましたが、２時間コースの方が絶景なのでは無いかと思いとても気になります。
１時間コースは、少し物足りなかった様な気がします。
ゆっくりと前の馬について歩くだけなので、途中で眠くなってしまいました。
（それはそれで気持ちよいのですが・・・）
次回があれば、是非２時間にチャレンジしてみたいと思います。

It was our first time riding and Collette was amazing. She was very helpful and made us comfortable. She was nice enough to take lots of pictures of us on the beach. The horses were gentle and it was a great experience.

This is interesting. It has a moderate thrill and a bit of adventure. Each of the eight attractions has its own characteristics, and the two and a half hours flew by. Since it's located in the North, I definitely recommend renting a car and spending the day exploring places like Haleiwa afterward.

これは面白いです。適度なスリルとちょっとした冒険。また、8本それぞれ特徴があり、2時間半という時間もあっという間に過ぎていきました。ノースにあるので、是非、レンタカーできて、そのあとは、ハレイワなどの観光を兼ねて１日過ごすのがいいと思います。

I think they choose horses according to the skill level, even for small children who have no riding experience. There is no Japanese guide during the ride, but you can learn the basics on the bus. It seems to be more suitable for advanced riders than the seaside course, but this is where you can enjoy the fun of horseback riding.

乗馬経験がなくても、小さな子供でも、スキルに合わせて馬を選んでくれているんだと思います。乗馬中は日本語ガイドはついてくれませんが、大体の基礎はバスの中で教えてもらえます。おそらく海辺のコースよりも上級者向けのようですが、乗馬の楽しさを味わえるのはこちらでしょうか。

At first, I was a bit afraid of heights, so I was anxious, but the staff made it enjoyable to ease my worries, and I had an amazing time. I will participate again.

最初、少し高所恐怖症だったので、不安だったが、スタッフが、不安を和らげるように楽しましてくれて、めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。 また参加します。

I had a very satisfying experience that I couldn't have in Japan. The driver explained various places in English on the way, and took us to famous spots for a little sightseeing.

After that, we arrived at the farm and checked in with an iPad. Since it was in English, I couldn't understand everything that was written, but I think it was an explanation of the risks.

It's also possible to take photos with your mobile phone. If there are measures in place to prevent it from falling, I definitely think you should bring it along.

It's a very expensive activity, but I believe it is worth the value.

日本では体験できない体験ができて非常に満足。
行きにドライバーが英語でいろんな場所を説明（英語）
プチ観光で名所に連れて行ってくれた。

そのあとファームに着きipadでチェックイン。英語なので何が書いてあるかはよくわかりませんがリスクの説明だと思います。

携帯電話で写真を取ることも可能です。落下しないような工夫ができているのであればぜひ持っていったほうがいいと思います。

とても高額なアクティビティですが、それに匹敵する価値はあると思います。

Nice ride overall. Handlers were friendly and knowledgeable. Much of the time we were near the beach, not on it.
Still was enjoyable.

Since I booked with a slightly higher fee as an advanced rider, I might have expected more, but it felt like there was no difference from the beginner course, as we only did a little bit of cantering about twice.

上級者ということで、すこし上乗せの金額を払って予約したのだけど、２回くらい少しだけ駈歩しただけで、初心者コースと変わりなかったかも。

Instructors were awesome !!!
Experience was one in a life time
My boyfriend loved it and wants to do it again ! Lol

It's a mixing for all the polynesian shows from each countries to a made-up area where you can see them all at one time. All the shows were well made and prepared, but you have to time and manage the priority to make sure to see them all in one go. It's great for those who never seen them before, but we did see similar from other countries, so it's not that exciting.

I have been to Hawaii several times, but I signed up for this experience because I wanted to try something new.
The experience in Haleiwa and horseback riding.
I wished I had a bit more time in Haleiwa, but next time, I’ll enjoy the town at a leisurely pace! I’m already planning my next trip to Hawaii and looking forward to it.
Horseback riding was fun as I felt like I was giving my own commands, but…
I was a bit surprised when I witnessed a child fall off because the saddle slipped.
My horse bit the back of the horse in front, and that horse kicked with its hind legs! It was quite thrilling.
(I’m glad there were no serious injuries.)

ハワイには、今まで何度か行ったことがありましたが、初めての経験をしたくて、申し込みました。
ハレイワと乗馬の体験。
ハレイワの時間が、もう少し欲しかったけれども、次は、ゆっくりハレイワの街を楽しもう！と、次回のハワイ旅行計画を立て楽しんでいます。
乗馬も自分で指示を出して乗馬をしている感じがあり、楽しかったですが…
馬の鞍がズレて子供が落馬をしたのを目撃したので、ちょっとビックリ。
私の馬が前の馬のお尻を噛み、前の馬が後ろ足で蹴り！と、ドキドキもありました。
(おおきな怪我が無かったので良かったです)

I signed up for this as the main event of my trip. The weather was great, and I had the best experience. I initially didn't plan to buy photos and videos, but since I was there, I decided to hire a photographer for the day. It's not cheap, but I think it was worth it.

今回旅行のメインイベントとして申し込みました。
お天気にも恵まれて最高の体験ができました。
写真および動画は最初は買う気はなかったのですが、せっかくなので当日カメラマン付でお願いしました。安くはありませんが、買って正解だったと思います。

Tour guide was fantastic and we saw many, many memorable places on the island!

I experienced it for the first time. Surprisingly, there was less fear than I expected, and I was able to enjoy the tandem dive. I also hired a photographer for video and photos, which turned out great. I want to try flying again.

初めて体験しました。
思ったより、恐怖感はなく、タンデムで楽しくダイブできました。又、カメラマンを頼んでビデオと写真をお願いしましたが、とても良かったです。
又、飛んでみたいです。

I absolutely loved this tour! Our tour guide Justin was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. It was fun, interesting and I enjoyed all the stops we went to, especially sunset beach. I highly recommend this tour.

We enjoyed the trip and the experience, and the driver Jason was wondeful! Thank you!

The very cheerful instructor entertained us. Basically, they can't use Japanese, but if you can speak English, you'll have a great time.

とても陽気なインストラクターの人が楽しませてくれました。基本、日本語は使えませんが、英語がしゃべれれば楽しめます。

The LDS church does a great job with this activity!

It was disappointing that we couldn't see the sea turtles due to the weather. The horseback riding was great as we could explore along the mountains and the coast. However, since it was a group activity, we couldn't take photos during the ride, and it would have been nice to bring a selfie stick. It was dangerous while moving, but there were a few stops. Although we couldn't take photos during the ride, we were able to take a commemorative photo after it ended.

天候の関係でウミガメが見られなかったのは残念でした。乗馬は山沿いや海沿いなどを散策出来てとてもよかったです。ただ、団体での参加だったので仕方がないかもしれませんが乗馬中の写真を撮れない、撮ってもらえなかったので自撮り棒などを持参すればよかったです。動いている時は危険ですが、何か所か止まる時があったので。乗馬中は無理でしたが乗馬が終了した時に記念写真を撮ってもらえました。

I got married without having the chance to go skydiving during my single days, so this time, I forced my anxious husband to join me in trying skydiving!

In the end, I think I was the one who was more scared, while my husband had a great time! He felt it was a good experience since it's something we usually can't do.

The driver was also fluent in Japanese and engaged us in various conversations, which made for a kind and satisfying experience!

独身時代にスカイダイビングをやり残したまま結婚してしまったので、今回、不安がる夫を無理矢理参加させてスカイダイビングに挑みました！

結果的に私の方が怖かったと思い、夫は楽しかった！普段出来ないからいい経験だったと満足しています。

送迎の方も日本語堪能で色んな話をしていただき、親切な対応だったのも満足でした★

The long-awaited skydiving experience was even better than I imagined. For those who are hesitant... I think it's worth taking the plunge and giving it a try.

念願だったスカイダイビングは、想像以上に、最高でした。
悩んでいる方は…思い切って挑戦するのもありかと思います。

I experienced skydiving for the first time in Hawaii! While flying up in the airplane, I was able to see the neighboring islands, and during the skydiving, I could see both the horizon and the sea at the same time! It was truly a great memory, and I want to do it again! However, I felt a bit nauseous during the turns, so next time I want to take motion sickness medication and be fully prepared for the challenge!! Thank you very much ^o^

初めて訪れたハワイで人生初のスカイダイビングを体験しました！飛行機で上空へ行く際は離島も見ることが出来、スカイダイビング中は地平線と水平線を一度に見ることが出来ました！本当にいい思い出でまたやりたいです！ですが、旋回などの際少し気持ち悪くなったので、次は酔い止めを飲んで万全な状態で挑戦したいです！！ありがとうございました^o^

The Japanese driver and guide initially gave a somewhat brusque and intimidating impression during the pickup and at the beginning, but during the horseback riding, they prioritized safety and consulted with the ranch staff, which allowed us to ride with peace of mind. I went with my family on a free plan, and they confirmed our itinerary together. The coastal horseback riding offered a view overlooking the coast from a higher vantage point; although we didn't walk on the sandy beach, the scenery was beautiful.

日本人の運転手兼ガイドさんは、ピックアップ時や最初の方はややぶっきらぼうで怖い印象でしたが、乗馬の際は安全性を重視して牧場の人に意見してくれて安心して乗馬ができました。
フリープランの家族と行きましたが、同行する行程を確認してくれました。
海岸乗馬は、一段高いところから海岸を見下ろしす感じで、砂浜を歩くわけではありませんが眺めはよいです。

It was my first skydiving experience. I had wanted to do it for a long time, but I never had the opportunity until I was able to fulfill my dream in Hawaii this time. At first, I was very nervous, but once I jumped, it was an indescribable joy. I highly recommend that anyone who is even a little interested should definitely try it. The staff were all very nice as well.

初めてのスカイダイビングでした。
以前からやりたかったのですが、なかなか機会がなく、今回ハワイで夢を叶えることが出来ました〜
最初はとても緊張しましたが、飛んだら何とも言えない楽しさでした。
少しでもきになる方は是非体験する事をオススメします。
スタッフも皆さんいい方でした。

I was able to fulfill my long-time dream of skydiving in Hawaii. In no time, we ascended to 14,000 feet in a Cessna. When my body jumped out of the Cessna, I was scared, but once I was in the air, the time flew by. I initially intended to only get the optional GoPro photos, but I ended up purchasing the video as a keepsake as well. The package was $199. I want to challenge myself again.

ずっと夢だったスカイダイビングをハワイでする事が出来ました。
セスナであっという間に14000フィートへ。
セスナから身体が飛び出した時は、怖かったですが
飛んだらあっという間の時間でした。
今回、オプションのGoProの写真だけのつもりでしたが
記念に動画も購入しました。
セットで199ドルでした。
また、挑戦したいです。

It was amazing! You have to do it!! A tip of $20 for the diver and $10 for the driver is essential. If you're taking photos, you should also give $20 for the diver who flies with you. The locker costs $1 (four quarters, with a change machine available). The French toast from the van next to the waiting area was delicious for $6. Just to be safe, it's best to take motion sickness medication right before the hotel pick-up. I will definitely do it again!!

最高です！やってください！！チップはダイバーに20ドル、ドライバーに10ドルは必須です。カメラ等撮るなら、一緒に飛んでくれるダイバーの分も20ドル。ロッカーは1ドル(クォーター4枚、両替機あり)待合横のワゴン車のフレンチトースト6ドルが美味しかったです。一応、酔い止めは、ホテルにお迎え来る直前に飲んで置いた方が無難です。また絶対やります！！
