All Reviews for North Shore, Oahu

I had a lot of fun and enjoyed various stunning views! Thank you so much! 😊 They had water prepared for us, so we didn't struggle with the heat at all! 🤭

知識も豊富で、いろんな絶景も楽しめました❗️とにかく楽しかったです❗️ありがとうございます😊お水用意してくれていたので，暑さにも負けませんでした〜🤭

We only bought the entrance tickets and drove ourselves to the Polynesian Center. The journey there was also a wonderful experience—we really enjoyed the views and the local residents. The center was very beautiful, and there were also lovely stalls where you could buy souvenirs. The staff was very hospitable. We enjoyed the many presentations from different islands. We enjoyed the welcome show. The final show was amazing, as was the buffet. Our compliments!
Let me know if you’d like any adjustments!

I had been to Dole Plantation before, but I had never been inside the farm, so it was great to see the process from harvesting to packing. There seemed to be a lot of manual work from planting to harvesting, which looked tough, but the workers waved cheerfully at us when they saw us. The guide not only taught us various things but also made a great effort to ensure we had fun, allowing us to enjoy the day. While it's nice to enjoy the maze and train at Dole Plantation, I think the farm tour across the street gave us a better sense of Hawaii.

ドールプランテーションには行ったことはありましたが
農園の中には行ったことがなかったので、収穫から箱詰めまでの工程を見ることが出来て
とてもよかったです。
植え付けから収穫まで手作業が多く、大変そうでしたが作業している人たちは我々を見ると明るく手を振ってくれました。
ガイドさんはいろいろなことを教えてくれただけでなく、我々が楽しめるようにすごく気を遣ってくれたこともあり、楽しく１日過ごすことが出来ました。
ドールプランテーションで迷路や汽車を楽しむのも良いですが、向かいにある農園見学の方が、よりハワイを感じられてよかったと思います。

You can efficiently spend your day starting with the sunrise at Diamond Head. Also, the view of Honolulu from Diamond Head is amazing. If you're in Honolulu, be sure to participate!

ダイヤモンドヘッドの朝日から効率よく１日が過ごせます。
また、ダイヤモンドヘッドから見るホノルルは最高です。ホノルルに来たのなら是非参加してください

The tour description is of course entirely in English, but it's fun! 🙋 We all got to say the names of the places we passed through in the local language, and our driver and tour guide, Malore, was kind and spoke to us in broken Japanese, which was reassuring. 🎵 During our free time in Haleiwa, we were able to try different garlic shrimp! ‼️ It's a whirlwind tour, but we fully enjoyed Hawaii in one go! 🙌 I highly recommend it! 🙌

ツアーの説明はもちろん全文英語ですが楽しいです🙋ツアーでの通過地域の地名を現地語で参加者全員で言ったりドライバー兼ツアコンのマロレーさんが親切で片言の日本語で話しかけてくれますし安心です🎵ハレイワでの自由行動ではガーリックシュリンプの食べ比べが出来ました‼️弾丸ツアーですが一気にハワイ満喫です🙌お薦めです🙌

Riding horses at the filming locations of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World was a dream come true! I was really looking forward to it. When the day finally arrived, I got to ride a horse, and my excitement was through the roof. As we slowly progressed, breathtaking views unfolded, and it felt like being in a movie!! I was thrilled; it really seemed like dinosaurs could appear at any moment! The two hours flew by, but by the end, my legs were shaking. It felt like I was using muscles I don't usually engage. I was able to take a lot of photos, and we got a lovely four-shot with my husband and the horse! (We'll receive them via AirDrop later.) The weather was great, and I truly had a wonderful time. I'm grateful to the horses and the staff who guided us!

ジュラシックパークやワールドのロケ地で乗馬だなんて夢のような体験だ！ととっても楽しみにしてました。いざ当日を迎え、お馬さんに乗せてもらい、ワクワクが止まりませんでした。ゆっくりゆっくり進むにつれて絶景が広がっていってもう映画の世界だ！！と興奮。本当に恐竜が出てきそうでした！2時間があっという間すぎましたが、終わった頃には脚がガクブル。普段使わない筋肉を使っていたようです。写真もたくさん撮れたし、主人とお馬さんとの４ショットも素敵に撮っていただきました！（あとでエアドロでいただけます）お天気も良く、本当に素敵な時間をすごせました。お馬さんや誘導してくださったスタッフさんに感謝です！

The Dole Plantation tour was great, allowing us to efficiently visit Haleiwa. The guide shared various information on the bus, providing insights into Dole's history and recommended spots in Haleiwa before we arrived. I don't understand much English, but I was able to understand everything well enough using a translation app on my smartphone.

The Dole pineapple soft serve was rich in flavor and delicious. Although the price is a bit higher, I recommend the soft serve with pineapple topping.

ドールプランテーション、ハレイワ観光と効率よく回ることができ、良いツアーでした。バス内でガイドさんが色々な情報を話してくださり、ドールの歴史やハレイワのおすすめスポットなど到着前に情報インプットができました。英語はあまりわかりませんが、スマホの翻訳アプリを使えば、十分理解することができました。
ドールのパイナップルソフトは味が濃厚で美味しかったです。価格は少々プラスになりますが、パイナップルトッピングのソフトをお勧めします。

The horse was very gentle, and it felt like it had been trained on the route and walking speed, so even though it was my first time, I was able to ride it well. I was disappointed that there were no movie filming locations to visit along the riding route.

お馬さんはとっても大人しくて、ルートの進み方や歩くスピードなど教え込まれてる感じで、初めてでしたが乗りこなせました。乗馬ルートに映画の撮影場所の見学が無くて残念でした。

As someone with a fear of heights, I found that instead of feeling like I was falling, it felt like I was floating, and I wasn't scared at all. Everything was amazing until we landed on the ground.

The staff were kind, and even though we couldn't speak English well, they provided us with great support.

I would love to experience this again the next time I come to Hawaii.

高所恐怖症の自分ですが、落下する感覚では無く、浮いている感覚で全く怖く無かったです。
地上に着地するまですべてが最高でした。

スタッフの方も親切で、英語の出来ない私たちでしたが、しっかりサポートして頂きました。

次回ハワイに来るときも再度体験したいと思います。

Coming from Alaska, It was an awesome experience to see different cultures.

The best experience ever! You need to go and jump with #GOJUMP!

We thoroughly enjoyed our private north shore sunset cruise. Captains Nick and Ricky were very friendly and went out of there way to make sure we had the best experience. They told us all about Hawaii, pointed out neat and interesting things along the shore and gave us a very enjoyable experience. We highly recommend!

We joined the North Shore, Turtle Watch, Dole, and Macadamia Nut Farm tour, Stephanie was our guide and she kinda did things her way. It was nice she gave us several options to stop at beaches that weren’t necessarily on the list and she gave us suggestions on the food trucks to try at the old Sugar Plantation. But it was also a bit awkward when she will just talk about random things to fill the dead air, for instance she pointed out every passing McDonalds, Cheesecake Factory which I’m pretty sure isn’t particularly useful info to learn about Honolulu or the Hawaiian culture. But that’s neither here or there, the disappointment came to the Turtle Watch part, we just skipped it, she took us to the beaches where we’re supposed to find them, slowly drove and asked we saw anything (as the van was moving) then proceeded to concluded that there were probably none. After driving for at least another mile of the same slow drive and deduction, she asked if any of us was interested in going back to the first place where we thought there was something due to the crowds surrounding something and taking pictures, we didn’t saw anything yet, then she said if we did we would have to walk back one mile by ourselves, as traffic was bad and she wasn’t about to turn back.

Frankly, we joined the tour for the turtle Watch. To be just brushed off like that was disappointing and we felt a bit scammed,

It was my first experience diving! I thought I might hesitate and get nervous at the moment of jumping, but thanks to the instructor, I was able to jump without hesitation, and from there, feeling the wind pressure, the view was amazing! I was able to enjoy it even at my age.

ダイビング初体験でした！
飛ぶ瞬間ためらって騒いじゃうかもとか思ってましたが、インストラクターが付いているお陰で躊躇なく飛び出せて、そこからは風圧を感じながら景色は最高！そろそろあら還でも楽しむ事が出来ました。

I loved this tour. The bus took us around the island, visiting ALL the hot spots. It can feel a bit rushed but lots of places to go. I think it’s suitable as a first day of your trip activity. Our guide Kanamu was amazing, I loved all the local histories and traditions she told us along the way. The highlight of the trip is definitely Waimea Falls. We spent 1.5 hours here, I personally highly suggest not to go swim in the waterfall because that would become the whole focus of this place. It’s such a beautiful area, you’d be rushing through the short hike trying to get to the waterfall, and once you’ve done swimming you’d be rushing back to your bus. You’d be missing a lot of this beautiful place. I also loved that we stopped for a short 30 minutes Dole plantation. That’s really enough tbh. I would otherwise not have come here but now I can say that I have been there. I loved the fruit stands that we passed, bought some fruits. If you’ve had good sugar cane before don’t buy them here, they weren’t that great. While taste great, they weren’t very juicy, and quite hard to chew. You can definitely try if you’ve never had them before. Bought some macadamia honey at the “nut house”, and I loved the macadamia nut sampling. I was so tired at the end of the trip but definitely worth it!

I was able to eat whatever I wanted and see various things in Haleiwa, and the mini tour helped me get to places that are difficult to reach on my own. At first, I was unsure about the mini tour, but since it was just the two of us participating, it ended up feeling like a private tour, which was great.

ハレイワは好きなようにあれを食べたりこれを見たりとできましたし、ミニツアーは自力では行き難い場所に連れていってもらえて助かりました。
最初はミニツアーはどうしようかと思っていたけど私たちだけが参加で、結果プライベートツアーのようで良かったです。

If you love heights and roller coasters but feel a bit scared, you absolutely have to try this! When you're going down, you can't see below, so it's not scary at all. There are moments when the wind pressure is strong and you might go "whoa," but it's just for an instant! You can enjoy beautiful scenery slowly, and occasionally experience a roller coaster-like rush! If you choose a plan that includes videos and photos, you can enjoy it yourself and share it easily with others. Japanese is hardly understood, so if you can't speak it at all, a translation app is essential!

高所やジェットコースター等が好きな人でちょっと怖い、、って思ってる方
絶対経験した方がいいです！　降りる時は下が見えないし怖くないですよ〜　
風圧が強いのでうぅ"ってなる時間もありますが一瞬です！
綺麗な景色をゆっくり、たまーにジェットコースターみたいなビューーンを体験できます！
動画や写真も撮って貰えるプランだと自分も見て楽しめるし布教もしやすいですよ。
日本語はほぼ通じないので全く話せない人は翻訳アプリ必須です！

I wanted to go horseback riding in Hawaii, so I signed up for this 2-hour horseback riding course. Actually, I used to attend a riding club over 10 years ago, but I quit because I was scared of galloping. This time, since I was just walking slowly on horseback in the great outdoors, I felt completely at ease and thoroughly enjoyed riding again after a long time. It had been several years since I last rode a horse (I rode a few years ago in Hokkaido), so it took me a little time to regain my sense of balance at first, but after a while, I remembered the feeling and was able to enjoy the scenery. Just before we mounted the horses, there was a heavy downpour, and I was wondering what would happen, but fortunately, we didn't get rained on at all during the ride. It was also pleasantly cool, not too hot, and a bit cloudy, which made for perfect riding weather.

ハワイで乗馬したいと思い、こちらを申し込みました。2時間の乗馬コースです。実は、10年以上前まで乗馬クラブに通っていたのですが、駆け足がこわまなって辞めてしまった経験があります。今回は、馬に乗って大自然の中をゆっくり歩くだけなので、まったく怖くなく、久しぶりの乗馬を堪能できました。そもそも馬に乗るのが数年ぶり(北海道で何年か前にのっこたとがある)でしたので、最初はちょっと感覚を取り戻すのに時間がかかりましたが、途中から感覚を思い出し、それからは景色を堪能できました。乗る少し前に激しいスコールがあり、どうなるかと思いましたが、運よく乗馬中は、まったく雨に降られることなく、かといって暑すぎずに曇り気味だったので涼しくてちょうどよかったです。

My son and I learned so much about the polynesian people and their culture and pride in their ancestry and the spokes person for each island was both funny and informative. I would definitely do this again and the life of breath show was amazing, sat on the front row and a few performers shook our hands after the show!

The instructor was incredibly kind, gentle, and attentive! It was a family experience tour for adults with children, and we were very satisfied.

インストラクターが、とにかく親切、優しい、丁寧！子どもが成長して、大人家族での体験ツアーでしたが、大満足でした。

Had a fantastic tour around the island. We had short stops at all the places of interest. The highlight of the day was seeing turtles coming out of the water onto the beach.
It was a very full day with lots to see and great it was a small group.
It would have been great to make a stop at Haleiwa as it looked interesting but we were running out of time.
Overall a fantastic day

After about an hour on the bus from the meeting point, we arrived at Kualoa Ranch. Upon arrival, we gathered on the deck in front of the building entrance. The reception areas and schedules for each course were explained in English. Shortly after, our names were called, and we received a voucher detailing the activity's reception time, start time, and the return bus schedule. The reception time was strict, and they wouldn't accept us early. While shoulder bags and items hanging around the neck were not allowed, smartphones were permitted. Only still photos could be taken; videos were not allowed. However, if a GoPro was secured to the body and not held in hand, it was fine. For small personal items and water bottles, we could borrow a small bag to hang on the saddle, so anything that fit in there could be brought along.

The course offered stunning views of the ocean after passing through the forest, but I was most looking forward to the Jurassic Park filming location, which had a vast grassy valley. Unfortunately, the path to it was under maintenance, and our time was shortened by 30 minutes, resulting in a 25% refund later. My first horseback riding experience was fun, but my backside became sore, and the pain lingered for three days. (laughs) Still, it's a shame I couldn't see the valley, so I would like to try again.

集合場所からバスに揺られて約1時間でクアロアランチに到着しました。到着後、建物入口前にあるデッキに一旦集合。各コースごとの受付場所やスケジュールなどが英語で説明されます。程なくして名前が呼ばれ、アクティビティの受付時間と開始時間、帰りのバスの時間などが記されたバウチャーが手渡されました。受付時間は正確で早めに申し出ても時間にならないと受付てくれませんでした。ショルダーバックや首からぶら下げる物はダメですが、スマホは持参OKです。撮影は静止画のみで動画はダメだそうです。しかしGoProは身体に固定出来て手で持たなければ大丈夫でした。身の回りの小物やペットボトルは鞍に掛ける小物入れバックが借りれるのでそれに入る物であれば持参出来ました。
コースは林間を抜けると海が見えて来て素晴らしい景色のコースでしたが、1番楽しみにしていたジュラシックパークのロケ地で草原が広がる谷には途中の道が整備中で行く事が出来ず、時間も30分短縮されたため後から25%の返金がありました。初めての乗馬は楽しかったけどお尻が痛くなり、痛みは3日間尾を引きました。（笑）
それでも谷が見れなかったのは残念なのでまたリベンジしたいと思います。

On the second day of our arrival, I was worried about my health, but I enjoyed the great nature and delicious food of Hawaii from morning until evening. Our guide, J, drove safely and was very considerate, stopping at places not on the schedule while checking the situation, and taking photos for us at each destination. I can't thank him enough. There were three other groups of participants besides us, and everyone was very kind, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our time. Thank you for your hard work, J. I would love to join again!

到着2日目で体調が心配でしたが、朝から夕までハワイの大自然と美味しいものを満喫しました。
ガイドのＪさんは安全運転かつ、とても気が利いた方で、スケジュールにはない場所も様子を見ながら寄ってくださったり、行く先々で写真を撮ってくださったり、感謝しかありません。
ツアー参加者は私たち以外に3組いらっしゃいましたが、みなさんとても優しかったので、リラックスして過ごせました。
ガイドのＪさん、お疲れさまでした。
また参加したい！

We went directly to the North Shore without stopping and arrived early. The shop opening times varied, but we enjoyed eating acai bowls and browsing around the town as the shops opened. We had plenty of time, about five hours, to leisurely have lunch and take our time exploring the stores, making for a meaningful experience. On the way back, we also went non-stop and arrived in Waikiki in about an hour. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

ノースショアまで、ノンストップで、直行し、
早い時間に到着。ショップの開店時間はまちまちでしたが、、アサイーボールを食べたり、開店したお店をみながら、街をブラブラ。
5時間と時間たっぷりですが、昼食をノンビリたべたり、お店をゆっくり見たり、有意義な時間を過ごしました。帰りもノンストップで、１時間程度で、ワイキキに到着しました。
機会があれば、また参加したいです。

The hospitality was amazing and the food was great! Worth every penny!

The father and son team that run this operation and tour were outstanding, really cared for everyone and very professional.

This tour was absolutely amazing and our driver Pattrick was the best part! He was so polite, friendly and made us feel like in home! We loved him! Thank you Pattrick!!!

I was happily walking through the greenery when I arrived at the waterfall. There is a shuttle service, making trekking easy. After the valley, we had lunch in the town of Haleiwa. I was impressed by the juicy hamburger!! At Matsumoto Shave Ice, I had the matcha special. I heard they make the adzuki beans from scratch every day. It was delicious. The driver was very kind and gave us helpful advice.

緑の中を楽しく歩いていたら　滝に到着。
シャトルもあつて、楽にトレッキングができます。
渓谷の後は、ハレイワの町でランチ。
ジューシーなハンバーグに感激！！
マツモトシェーブアイスで抹茶スペシャル。
小豆は毎日豆から作っているそうです。
美味しかった。
ドライバーさん親切な方でアドバイス頂き助かりました。

I booked a package with transportation included. The bus was very comfortable. There were many Japanese people, and the explanations were in Japanese, so I was able to participate without any worries.

送迎付きを予約しました。
バスはとても快適でした。
日本人が多く、説明も日本語だったので不安なく参加できました。

It was a blast, felt like a well oiled operation. Highly recommend the picture package the free fall goes by so fast that you’d want to have the pictures / videos to remember your experience.
