Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]

A Hawaii "must do"!

Reviewed by: Stan C

A cultural and historical event that any and every visitor to Hawaii should experience at least once. Not only is it a smooth operating show, but they did an outstanding job of explaining the historical reasoning behind everything.

The food was great and the hospitality was first class. Their location on the north side of the island was amazing and a counterpoint to the the South side. There's also the added benefit of being just down the road from famous Sunset Beach!

乗馬体験(1.5時間) ノースショアの海辺を散策!ロマンチックなサンセットプランや貸切プランから選べる 8歳から参加OK!

I had an amazing time. すんごい楽しかった

Reviewed by: じーこ

I was worried about participating since I couldn't speak any English, but the explanations were clear and easy to understand thanks to the use of gestures, allowing for a smooth experience.

Traveling by bus would have taken quite a long time, so we took an Uber from Matsumoto Shave Ice on the North Shore.

The horseback riding lasted about an hour and a half, and there were two local guides for our group of two. They took nearly 50 photos and shared all of them with us for free via AirDrop.

Even as first-time riders, the horses followed the path perfectly. The scenery was beautiful, and it was truly amazing.

全く英語が出来ず心配で参加しましたが、ジェスチャーを交えてわかりやすく説明してくれたため、スムーズに体験することができました。
移動はバスだと時間がかなりかかるため、ノースショアのマツモトシェイブアイスから、Uberで行きました。
乗馬の時間は1時間30分程で、2組に2人の現地のガイドが付いてくれました。写真も50枚近く撮ってくれて、エアドロップで無料で全てくれました。
乗馬初体験の私たちでも、道順通りに馬が乗せてってくれました。景色も良くて本当に最高でした。

Oahu Island Experience Tour - North Shore, East Side, Dole Pineapple & More

Book this tour!!

Reviewed by: Ojesa Kwong

This tour was the best thing we could’ve booked during our stay. It was our first time in hawaii and Jonah went above and beyond to give us the best experience. We were able to try some of the best spots on the island such as Leonards bakery, and the bald guy, along with the visit to the beer garden. He even took us to places that weren’t on the schedule, and we couldn’t thank him enough! We stopped at a beach on the north side where we were able to watch dolphins. We were so happy to have Jonah along our side with amazing knowledge and to give us the do’s and dont's of hawaii. We highly recommend to book this tour with Jonah for your first time to get that hawaiian experience you’re looking for! Thank you Jonah so so much for everything! (Especially the horses!)

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Pretty Nice

Reviewed by: Lydia

Overall we enjoyed this adventure.
-The staff was very good. They were both informative and entertaining.
- We went on a very windy day, but they managed the ocean well and got us to our destination.
- We managed to see a couple of nice sized Sharks while we were out. The cage was very secure and you had no feelings of not being safe.
- I had an AMAZING time, but my husband, who can't handle the sea travel, got sick.

Had a good time and would definitely recommend.

Decent tour

A really good tour with an excellent tour guide that gave tons of Hawaiian history. The snorkeling spot was incredibly rocky and definitely not for a beginner or child. Loved all the hawaiin history and "Cap" was great but not worth the money in my opinion.

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Incredible, fun experience worth doing every time I visit Oahu!

Reviewed by: Jessica Gan

I booked this as a spontaneous adventure for my parents and siblings first time visiting Oahu. None of us are super outdoorsy people (I don't even know how to swim) but we had a blast with this experience. The crew was fun, funny, knowledgeable and helpful. There was a lot of nervousness and anxiety with an experience like this but I felt at ease with them with their experience at sea and knowledge of the sharks we encountered. I loved that they loved what they do. I loved that we all shared the same respect and awe for the sharks.

We were fortunate enough to see 2 tiger sharks and dolphins on the way back!! Even my mom who was brought along as just an observer had an incredible experience on the boat ride and took some awesome pics! I wish I had prior experience working with snorkeling gear and learning breathing techniques to stay down longer to spend more time seeing the beautiful tiger sharks we saw. Next time, because there for sure will be, I'll be ready to handle the currents, my breathing techniques, and will bring my own GoPro! Can't wait for next time! Thank you to the amazing Hawaii Shark Encounters crew!

Unrealistic scenery and experiences. 非現実的な光景と経験

Reviewed by: にっく

I have experienced horseback riding before, but this one is a long-distance ride of about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
In the great outdoors, there are points of interest such as mountains, the sea, and buildings, creating a route that keeps you engaged.
Honestly, the explanations are all in English, so those who do not understand English may not grasp the details, but I think you can enjoy the great outdoors without any issues.

これまで同様のホースバック体験はしたことありますが、ここは1時間45分程度の長距離になります。
大自然の中、山々や海、建造物などのポイントがあり
飽きさせないような経路作りとなっております。
正直説明は全て英語のため、英語が分からない方は説明を聞いても分からないとは思いますが、特に問題なく大自然を楽しめるかと思います。

All-Inclusive Oahu Island Tour with Lunch & Waimea Valley Waterfall Nature Walk

Disappointed for sure!

Reviewed by: Dan

I was under the impression we were on a smaller shuttle bus, not a big bus. By the time we got picked up we had to sit in the back of the bus. Only a few people wore masks. I had paid more for this tour because I thought it was in a smaller vehicle. I saw many smaller shuttles and was told by the tour guide that this company used to use smaller shuttles but now went to the big bus. The tour guide knew a lot about the island that was interesting but it was obvious that he was sure high on himself. We spent a lot of time riding the bus and getting on and off. Last time I was on Oahu I rented a car and it was much more enjoyable.

Reply from activity provider

Hi Dan,

We use a deluxe motor coach for several reasons:

1. The coach has much larger windows than smaller buses and allows for better views.
2. The seats are much more comfortable than minibus seats.
3.The air conditioning system is far superior to smaller buses.
4.We have a dedicated ,professional bus driver AND a second person who provides detailed educational and entertaining narration without being distracted by also having to drive.
Minibuses have the same person driving and narrating.

Masks no longer need to be worn inside as of April,2022.

In order to see and visit the amazing locations on our adventure we have to drive over 100 miles so you not only have the opportunity to visit O'ahu's premier attractions but also see some of the best scenery on Earth.

With Aloha

Oahu Island Experience Tour - North Shore, East Side, Dole Pineapple & More

Best day of our trip to Oahu!

Reviewed by: Jessica

We are so happy that we decided to book this tour! We didn't rent a car due to the cost of the rental in addition to the parking fees and hassle. There were several spots we wanted to see but they were not walking distance from our hotel. We got to check off so many off our wish list during the tour! All in one day and without having to drive ourselves. There were also quick stops that our driver did on top of an already awesome itinerary. We got to eat malasadas from Leonard's and pineapple macadamia nut cheesecake from Ted's Bakery. The food truck stop had so many choices! We got to check off Giovanni's garlic shrimp off of our list too. The driver was so knowledgeable and funny. He also offered to take pictures of us. The van was clean and spacious as well. It doesn't require a lot of walking so it's perfect for people of all ages. You also get to see the other side of Oahu beyond the tourist spots. Definitely recommend!

The breathtaking scenery was amazing! 絶景の景色が最高でした!

Reviewed by: オリビア

Horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch was my first experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the 2-hour course. It's pricey, but definitely worth it. All explanations about the filming locations are in English. You can also take photos with your phone, so it's best to prepare a hanging type that allows for quick access. Encountering wild boars and cows along the way was truly moving. You won't get bored even if you stay all day. There are no openings on the day, so advance reservations are essential. Also, be aware that there are only three buses available for the return trip.

クアロアランチでの乗馬は初めてです。
2時間コースでたっぷりと楽しめました。
高額ですが行く価値十分あります。
ロケ地現場などの説明は全て英語になります。
携帯で写真を撮るのも可能です。すぐに撮れるように吊るすタイプにするのが一番なので準備をしておいた方がいいです。
野生のイノシシ、牛が道中で出会えて感動します。
一日中いてもあきません。
当日の空きはないので事前予約必須です。

A valuable experience! 貴重な体験!

Reviewed by: りいり

We participated with my parents, making a group of four. The two-hour ride felt a bit long, and my legs were a little shaky when we got off, but we enjoyed the beautiful views of Kualoa that can only be seen while horseback riding.

Perhaps due to limited slots during the COVID-19 pandemic or its popularity, there was only this one time slot available during our stay, and we were able to make a reservation just a month in advance!

For those participating, make sure to use the restroom before the two-hour ride! Also, be aware that you can't drink water during the ride! (My father put a small bottle in his chest pocket.) During our ride, it was only in English, but they showed us a Japanese video at the beginning, so I don't think it will be too difficult.

両親と私達夫婦の4人で参加しました。
2時間は少し長く感じて、降りる時に脚が少しガクガクしましたが笑、乗馬でなければ見ることのできない素敵なクアロアの景色を見て楽しめました。
コロナ禍で枠が少ないのか人気のせいか、1ヶ月前でしたが滞在中だとわずかこの日のこの枠だけ空いていて予約できた!という感じでした。

参加される方は、2時間降りないのでトイレを済ませておくこと!
水も飲めないのでご注意を!(父は胸ポケットに小さいペットボトルをいれてました)
私達の時は英語オンリーでしたが、最初に日本語の動画を見せてもらうのでそこまで難しいことはないと思います。

The whole tour was fantastic. My family and I had a wonderful time. Seeing the different cultures and stile of living and activities was astounding. The shows that they put on in each island was energetic and very informative. We also watched the final show the Breath of Life. Don’t want to spoil it so you have to come and see it in person.

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach

False advertisement

Reviewed by: Julio C

First and foremost, I have to give a shout-out to Ramsey because he was great. The kayak and experience itself was complete garbage. I was under the impression that we’d be at this beautiful blue sandbar in a glass kayak seeing all these beautiful turtles and looking at the gorgeous sea life underneath us. Come to find out, we would be kayaking at a disgusting creek with dead turtles and the nastiest water I’d ever be in with bubbles included. I watched a YouTube video where they advertised this website with a person on a beautiful blue ocean looking at sealife with this glamorous glass kayak. Meanwhile, I get a hazy plastic kayak with dead turtles in a bubbling green creek. Worst case of false advertising that I’ve EVER come across. I had to quit the excursion early because I was so disgusted and disappointed. I would NOT recommend this trip to anyone. Complete waste of time and money
