All Reviews for North Shore, Oahu

WOW WHAT AN EXPERIENCE TO DROP FROM 14.000FT AT AROUND 120MPH WITH VIEWS TO DIE FOR. ALSO PACIFIC SKY DIVE WAS SO FRIENDLY AND HAD SO MUCH EXPERIENCE IT WAS A GREAT DAY FOR US. IF EVER I WAS BACK IN HAWAII I WOULD CERTAINLY DO THIS AGAIN.....

I was considering going to Kualoa for horseback riding, but I ended up choosing this option because it included visits to places I wanted to see, like Moanalua Gardens, Dole, and the North Shore, and I was able to see sea turtles as well. The famous garlic shrimp was also incredibly delicious. I highly recommend this for those who want to do both sightseeing and horseback riding in a limited amount of time; I’m really glad I chose this option. (The main horseback riding along the coast was, of course, amazing!)

乗馬が目的だったのでクアロアにするか悩みましたが、モアナルアガーデン、ドール、ノースショアと行ってみたい所がセットになっていて、しかもちゃんとウミガメも見れました。名物のガーリックシュリンプもすごく美味しかった。時間がない中で観光も乗馬もしたい方はお勧めですね、こちらを選んで本当によかったです。（メインの乗馬は海沿いでもちろん最高！）

Skydiving is something I've always wanted to try at least once in my life! I was really scared before jumping, but once I was in the air, the exhilaration and emotion made the fear disappear! After returning home, saying that I went skydiving in Hawaii became quite a conversation starter. I rented a car based on reviews and met up at the location, but I felt the explanations were a bit lacking. However, it was great that I could jump without waiting. The sales for photos and videos weren't too pushy either. Overall, I highly recommend it!

一生に一度はやってみたいと思っていたスカイダイビング！
やはり飛ぶ前はすごく怖かったですが、飛んでからは爽快感と感動で、恐怖なんてどこかへ行ってしまいました！
帰国後も、ハワイでスカイダイビングをした！と言うとかなり話のネタになります。
レビューを参考に、レンタカーを借りて現地集合にしましたが、説明などは不十分だった気がします。ですが、待たずに飛べてよかったです。
写真とビデオのセールスもそんなにしつこくなかったです。
とにかくオススメ！

The "Surf Bus" Rocked my world, got timed out and lost my heartfelt compliments. I can't rewrite my praises. It does not do justice. Going to try:
Sam was an amazing guide, the playing, eating, and listening on the North Shore, my taste of heaven. Just visualize; Sea Turtles, tidal pools and an eye to eye with an Eagle Ray, food to die for, and 1000 reasons to keep coming back. An awesome "build your own burger". Surprise yourself and go for it! Not a sit and stare tour, unless your waiting for a set, or focused on sea turtles. You still get to do your driving. Came back exhausted and completed. 50 years in and now I figure out happy. Better late than never.
Mesmerized by the bright smiles, and sense of community that emerged as we talked through our day. 20 people, 5 countries and a bevy of dialects. It was right Kraky, but no worries mate.
@Sam, the Tiki was truly over that rainbow.
Mahalo nui loa!!!

I had a very enjoyable tour with an interesting Japanese guide. I might not repeat it, but I recommend it!

面白い日本人ガイドに巡り合い、非常に楽しいツアーを過ごせました。
リピートはしないかもしれませんが、おすすめですよ

I had a great experience!
During the bus drive to PCC there is a tour guide who is really good on entertaining the crowd while giving important information about Hawaii culture. As you arrive there you are greeted by the employees while checking-in.
After lunch (i've purchased a nice BBQ buffet) I started my tour, the guide was very friendly and took us to each village and we had the chance to participate of many cultural activities.
If you were not able to see all the presentations, don't worry, you can have a small demonstration of each Village during the Canoe Pageant.
If you have time, please check the Hawaiian Journey Theater, you will watch a beautiful movie about Hawaii. I was impressed by the size of the theater. There's also a Tram Tour around Laie town and you can visit the Temple.
By 5pm it starts the Dinner Luau. There is a lot of different options, and they were all delicious! After dinner there's the beautiful show "Ha: Breath of Life". It's a wonderful production!

If you want to see sharks up close, this is the place to be. Up on the North shore, wich in my opinion is the nicest part of the island. My brother and I had a great time. I still can't believe how big the sharks were. Crew was great !

Mr bills gliders was a fantastic high light of our trip.
The staff was very nice , and knowledgable .
My pilots name was Soloman, and I went up for a 30 min free style and a 15 acrobatic ride! Let me tell you this, the view s are incredible, super quiet . I saw isolated several storm clouds pouring rain over the water very cool to see from above.
The acrobatic part was 4-1/2 Gssssssssss and oh boy , what a ride so cool.
I highly recommend bills. It was worth every penny.

The highlight of my trip to Hawaii was definitely skydiving. To be honest, I was quite nervous, but my instructor Brent, who didn't speak much Japanese, made me laugh with his gestures, and it was a lot of fun. The time flew by smoothly. Also, for first-timers, I recommend getting photos or a DVD, even though it can be a bit pricey. I didn't do it, and I regret that. If I come back to Hawaii, I will definitely do it again!

今回のハワイ旅行で1番の思い出はスカイダイビングになったくらい良かったです。
正直・・・かなりビビってましたがインストラクターのbrentが日本語はあまり話せなかったけどジェスチャーで笑わせてくれたりして楽しかったです。
時間もスムーズに進み あっという間の時間でした。
あとは・・・初めての方は少しお値段は張りますが写真かDVDの撮影をオススメします。私はしなかったので後悔してます。
またハワイに来たら必ずまた来ます！

We chose this place to learn about polynesian culture, place is adorable, great people around, nice dinner and fantastic show at the end of the day. We recommend it.have fun!

Next, if I could participate in just one thing in Hawaii, it would definitely be this! It's an experience that everyone envies! It's something only those who have done it can understand. Since the North Shore is nearby, I think it's a good idea to rent a car, visit the North Shore, and then head back.

次，ハワイに行って何か一つだけ参加できると言われれば絶対これです！誰もが羨む体験をできます！やった人にしかわからない体験です．近くにはノースショアも近いのでレンタカーで行って，ノースショア巡って帰るのが良いと思います．

The cultural center and night show were awesome. The luau was amazing! Very memorable experience!

it was a greats experience. At a certain point you have to realize that you have real sharks around you. This is something that I will definitely try again at my next visit in the area? be aware that the sea is not all the time calm and waves can bring you a different experience... Gravel could be mandatory
A must to do... Great

I participated after being recommended by an acquaintance I met before, and it was a lot of fun. Also, there are many places to stop by from Waikiki to here, so if you're going by rental car, you can enjoy a full day.

前に行った知り合いに勧められて参加しましたが、とても楽しかったです。又、ワイキキからここまでは立ち寄る所も多くレンタカーで行かれるなら一日満喫できます。

I signed up for the 2-hour course. At first, I was worried it might be too long, but thanks to the smart horses and the lovely cowgirls, I had a wonderful experience!! Next time, I want to challenge myself with the half-day course☆

The atmosphere of Jurassic Park was amazing, and I was lucky enough to see the filming of FIVE-0, making it a truly HAPPY day.

2時間コースで申し込みました。
初めは長すぎたかと不安もあったのですが､頭のいいお馬さんと可愛いカウガールの皆さんのおかげで素敵な体験が出来ました!!
次回は半日コースにチャレンジしたいです☆

ジュラシックパークの世界観はもちろんラッキーな事にFIVE-0の撮影も見られて本当にHAPPYな1日でした

My first trip to Hawaii, and skydiving was the main event of my journey with my college-aged son. It was supposed to be scheduled for the day after our arrival, September 11. When we arrived at Honolulu Airport and checked my watch, it automatically adjusted to the local time. Little did I know, this was just the beginning of the mishaps...

The next morning, just before 6 AM, on my way back from getting breakfast, I spotted the skydiving van at the hotel entrance and thought, "Wow, they operate this early! I wonder where they go?" When I returned to the room and looked at the clock next to the bed, it showed 7:15 AM. The pickup was scheduled for 7:05 AM, so I rushed to the front desk and asked, "Is it already past 7? Is there no skydiving pickup?" Unfortunately, they had already left. I quickly called the number listed on the coupon from the front desk and was able to speak in Japanese with the driver who was picking up participants. I was informed that they were already heading to the airport and was advised to contact them to reschedule. I changed the date to the following day.

On September 12, the day of the skydiving, I was nervous but excitement prevailed. The plane climbed rapidly, spiraling at a steep angle, and before I knew it, we reached an altitude of over 4,200 meters. As soon as the engine slowed down, the door opened, and one by one, people jumped out without hesitation. I was the second to last to go. The cameraman clung to the outside of the exit, and as soon as I knelt down, the instructor behind me signaled, and I dove headfirst in a somersault. The only moment I felt scared was during the approximately three seconds it took to complete the flip. Once I spread my arms and legs and entered free fall, the fear disappeared. "What is this feeling? Is it pleasant?" No, it was "Incredibly amazing!" This sensation lasted for over a minute. Once we landed, I could immediately see my photos and video. Initially, I thought I would only buy the photos, but after watching the video, I found myself loosening my wallet.

On the way back to the hotel, the driver turned out to be the president of the diving center. Still buzzing with excitement, I expressed my desire to return and dive again someday by saying, "Thank you. See you next time." The president cheerfully replied, "See you tomorrow!!" He was a nice guy.

The DVD was edited with music, making it feel like a promotional video. I've converted it to MP4 and have watched it multiple times on my iPad and smartphone, dreaming of the next opportunity.

初めてのハワイ、スカイダイビングは大学生の息子との男二人旅のメインイベント。予定は到着の翌日9/11のハズでした。ホノルル空港に着いて腕時計を見ると、地元の電波で自動的に時間を指した。さすがハイテク機器と思ったのがハプニングの始まり・・・

翌朝AM6時前、朝食を買い出しに行った帰り、ホテルの玄関でスカイダイビングのバンを横目で見ながら、「こんな早朝でもあるんだ～。何処だろう？」と感心しながら部屋に戻ってベット脇の時計を見ると、なんとAM7:15を指している。ピックアップの予定はAM7:05、急いでフロントに駆けつけ「今、7時過ぎですか？　スカイダイビングのピックアップは居ませんか？」と聞くが出発した後だった。直ぐにフロントからクーポン券に記載の番号に電話をすると、ピックアップ中の運転手と日本語で話ができた。もう飛行場に向かっているので、参加できる日を連絡するようにと告げられ、翌日に変更をした。

9/12、スカイダイビング当日、緊張はしているが期待が勝っている。飛行機は急角度で螺旋を描きながら、アッと言う間に高度4200m以上に到達する。エンジンがスローになった途端、シャッタを開けて間髪を容れずに次々に飛び出していく。私は最後から二番目。カメラマンが出口の外にしがみつき、私が片膝をついた途端、後ろで繋がったインストラクターの合図で、前転する様に頭からダイブする。「怖い。」と感じたのは、1回転するまでの約3秒間だった。手足を広げて自由落下になると恐怖感が消えた。「何、この感じは？」「気持ち良い？」いや「チョー気持ち良いーーー!」この感覚が約1分以上続いた。地上に降りると直ぐに自分の写真とビデオを見ることができます。ダイビングの前は写真だけと思っていたが、映像を見ると財布の紐が緩んでしまった。

ホテルまでの帰りのドライバーは、なんとダイビングセンターの社長でした。興奮が醒めない私は、またいつか戻ってきてダイブしたいという気持ちを込めて別れ際にThank you. See you next time.　社長の返答は See you tomorrow!!陽気なNice Guyでした。

DVDは音楽付きで編集されていて、まるでプロモーションビデオの様です。MP4に変換してiPadやスマホで何度も見ています。次の機会を夢見て。

Loved loved loved it. Had a great day and the beach is beautiful there. The sunset was amazing

Love this the most we booked several activities this was a great way to end our trip a wonderful day at north shore YOLO

What an amazing outdoor experience! This hike is a must do if you'd like to get a better understanding of the hidden nature Hawaii has to offer. Our guides, Keola and Marcella, shared a wealth of knowledge and gave us an unforgettable and valuable tour of the forested region of Oahu. Some parts of the trail are strenuous, so be prepared with some good hiking shoes/boots and plenty of water. We also had the opportunity to taste the fruit the trail had to offer, simply delicious. I highly recommend trying this hike if you plan on visiting the North Shore.

We were divided into three groups, but the waves in the North were high, and by the time we got to the last group, it was impossible to enjoy the experience due to seasickness! Several people were vomiting. Unfortunately, some had to withdraw. I cannot recommend this for anyone who is prone to seasickness!

３グループに分かれて参加するのですが、ノースの波は高く最後のグループになると
船酔いで鑑賞どころではありません！！
数人が吐きまくりでした。
かわいそうに棄権した方もおられました。
少しでも船酔いされる方にはオススメ出来ません！！

We had a wonderful tour guide by the name of Leo C. He showed us the island and kept us entertained all day!! The stops were all beautiful and we had ample time at each stop. Leo gave clear and concise instructions and stayed on schedule. Will book again!!

One of the purposes of my visit to Hawaii was this. My husband and I were supposed to participate together, but unexpectedly, he fell ill the day before, so I considered canceling. However, he encouraged me to go alone, and I did.

My impression? Simply the best!!

The photographer was very good at Japanese and made various efforts to help me relax. The instructor spoke mostly in English, so I think it would be better to have some speaking ability.

I experienced a new world. When I come to Hawaii next time, I would like to participate again with my husband.

今回ハワイ訪問の目的のひとつでした。
夫婦で参加の予定でしたがまさかの夫が前日体調悪くなったためキャンセルを考えましたが夫に勧められひとりで参加しました。

感想は、ひとこと最高！！

カメラマンの方は、日本語が上手でリラックスさせるためいろいろ気を使って頂きました。
インストラクターの方は、英語のことが多いので多少話せた方がいいかと思います。

新しい世界を経験しました。
ハワイに来た際は、今度は夫婦で再度参加したいです。

The Polynesian center is a must see. The Luau was a bit disappointing in terms of the food selection and quantity. The evening show however was Outstanding!! I would recommend make this an all day event so as to explore the entire center.

Excellent centre, great way to learn about the Polynesian cultures and very entertaining.

Best way to visit the North Shore Area. There is so much to do on this tour I only wished it had lasted longer. We snorkeled at sharks cove where we saw beautiful fish and sea turtles, swam under a waterfall at Waimea Valley, visited sunset beach and turtle beach. We then hung out and ate in Haleiwa town. There are different options to choose from depending on your package. We missed Waimea bay - could not fit into schedule. Maybe next time. Highly recommend if you are NOT renting a car.

I was taken with a group of about 10 people. I thought we would have plenty of time at Dole, but the pineapple train took longer than expected, and we ended up hurriedly eating our soft serve. I think the timing of the train plays a role, but before boarding, the staff takes photos of each group with the train in the background, so we had to wait until everyone was done taking pictures, which took a lot of time before we could depart, especially since it was summer vacation. At the North Shore, we were able to eat garlic shrimp and see sea turtles, which made for a fun experience.

10名ほどのグループで連れて行ってもらいました。
ドールでは時間がたっぷりあると思っていましたが、パイナップル列車に予想以上に時間が掛かり、急いでソフトクリームを食べる感じでした。
列車の来るタイミングもあると思いますが、乗車前にスタッフが1組ずつ列車をバックに写真を撮るため、全員が撮り終わるまで待たなくてはならず、夏休みという事もあって出発するまでにすごく時間が掛かりました。
ノースショアではガーリックシュリンプも食べられたし、ウミガメも見られて楽しく過ごせました。

What a wonderful way to see the island. Delightful day :-)

This was my second time, and I was able to hear different stories with humor, making it a very enjoyable trip. The meals were well thought out, and there was a good amount of free time. I learned about local cuisine, which I think is valuable. I plan to use this service again.

２回目なんですが、又違った話がきけてユーモアがありとても気持ちいい旅でした。
食事も気を、つかっていただいて自由時間もほどほどあり
地元の食事も、教えていただき勉強していると思います。
又利用としようと、思います。

I can't recommend a better way to capture the essence of Hawaii than on this beach trail ride. The scenery is beautiful, relaxing and the overall experience made our trip that much more memorable. We saw sea turtles and even caught a glimpse of an endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal. The horses are very well trained polo ponies that do trail rides in their spare time. ...just another reason that makes this ride unique. The guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. we will be back!

We participated as a family.
The experience of descending from over 4,700 meters was thrilling and exhilarating, unlike anything in the past!
The scenery rapidly approaching from the ground was more about emotion than fear!
The DVD captured everything well, conveying the excitement, so for first-timers, it might be a bit pricey, but I definitely recommend it!

家族全員で参加しました。
高度４７００ﾒｰﾄﾙ以上からの降下体験は過去にはない、スリルと痛快さ！
地上が見る見る近づく景色は、恐怖というより感動そのもの！
ＤＶＤもしっかり撮れていて、興奮状態が伝わってきますので、初めてやる人はちょっと高いですが是非！
