All Reviews for North Shore, Oahu

The local staff may not understand Japanese, but they showed us a video explanation in Japanese, which was reassuring. Each horse was very gentle, and we enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing time while feeling the sound of the waves and the wind by the North Shore. There was a lovely meadow where the horses stopped to eat grass, which was incredibly cute and amusing. I found myself naturally conversing with the horses! (laughs) They also took a group photo with the beach in the background, which became a nice memory. The staff immediately took care of the horses and gave them water after the course, so I think it's good to actively engage in conversation with them. They were very kind and attentive. We hugged and took photos together, creating the best memories. Thank you very much. There were also some friendly and cute animals besides the horses at the ranch! (laughs)

現地のスタッフの方は日本語はわかりませんが、日本語の説明動画を見せてくれるので安心でした。どの馬もとてもいい子でノースショアの海辺の波の音と風を感じながらなんとも心地よい時間がゆっくり過ぎていきました。途中馬たちの大好きな草原があり、草を食べて止まってしまうのもたまらなくかわいくて面白かったです。自然と馬と会話してました！（笑）海辺をバックに集合写真も撮って下さり、記念になりました。スタッフの方はコース終了後すぐに馬にお水をあげたりお世話をしていますので、こちらから積極的に話しかけるのもいいと思います。やさしく丁寧に対応してくださいました。ハグをして一緒に写真も撮っていただきました。最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。牧場には馬以外にも人懐っこいかわいい子がいましたよ！（笑）

I went horseback riding for the first time!
Riding in nature became the best memory!
The scenery while riding with views of the mountains and the sea was beautiful, and it felt very liberating.
For me, one hour was just right.

初めて乗馬をしました！
自然の中で乗馬は最高の思い出となりました！
山と海が見える中の乗馬はとっても景色が良く、開放感がありました。
私的には1時間がちょうど良かったです。

They are probably watching over us, but as expected, it's not as thorough as in Japan, and there isn't a lot of support, so I was quite anxious about the shorter kids not falling off the horse, but we managed for 45 minutes! The horses are well-trained, I suppose. The scenery was also very beautiful. I'm grateful.

見ていてはくれてるのでしょうが、やはり当たり前ですが日本ほど手厚いことはなく、めっちゃサポートがあるわけでもないので低い身長のキッズが落馬しないかとハラハラでしたが、45分頑張りました！馬がよく調教されてるのでしょうね。景色もとても綺麗でした。感謝です。

We tried this as a memorable experience for my daughter, who will turn twenty in 2020. At first, I was nervous, but the instructor was very kind and helped us relax. I think this is something everyone should experience at least once in their life. The height was so impressive that I wasn't scared at all, haha. Don't forget to tip!

2020年に二十歳になる娘の記念に親子でトライしました。最初はドキドキでしたが、インストラクターの方が丁寧に指導してくれて、リラックスさせてくれます。これは人生で一度は体験すべきだと思います。あまりの高さに怖さもありません笑笑
チップは忘れずに払いましょう！

Highly recommend to use your 3 day pass. So much to do! Not enough time to do in one day. Enjoyed the hands on activities, dancing, and food. No matter where you sit for the luau you have an amazing view. Our tour guide was amazing and we met wonderful people.

The instructor provided clear explanations, allowing me to fly with confidence. I wasn't scared at all and had a great time.

インストラクターが、説明をきっちりしてくださり、安心して飛べました。
全然怖くなかったし、楽しめました。

We participated with my two daughters, meeting up at the location. They treated my husband, who didn't fly, very kindly. The instructors were wonderful, and we had a really fun time; my daughters were very satisfied! We enjoyed the breathtaking views of Hawaii from the sky.

娘2人と３人で現地集合で参加。
飛ばなかった夫に対してもとても気持ちよく接してくださいました。
インストラクターの方たちも素敵で、本当に楽しく、娘たちも大満足！
絶景のハワイを空から満喫できました。

No problems at all. They provide transportation from Waikiki to Keana Farms with shared rides. It takes a little over an hour. Once you arrive, you'll be asked to sign a consent form on a touch panel (available in Japanese). First, you'll get accustomed with a practice zip line, and then you'll be taken to the highest point by a buggy. You zip line one after another by following along. It was so much fun! It lasts about two hours in total. The three handsome staff members were very kind. I wasn't sure about the last photo sale, but in the end, I was able to download them for free. I wonder why? I highly recommend it to everyone.

問題ありません。ワイキキから混乗でケアナファームまで送迎してくれます。１時間ちょっとでしょうか。現地に着くとタッチパネル（日本語対応）で同意書にサインさせられます。まず最初に予行演習的なジップで慣らして、バギーカーで最高地点に送られます。見よう見まねで次々ジップします。楽しかった～。実質２時間ぐらい。イケメン３人の係の人は大変親切です。最後の写真の販売はよくわかりませんでしたがね。結局ただでダウンロードできました。どうしてだろう？皆様にもお勧めします。

We participated as a family of five. Since it was the end of the year, there were many Japanese people, and everyone in the same group was Japanese, which created a sense of camaraderie towards the end, making it a lot of fun.

As others have mentioned, the crew members were very friendly, and they took care of all the setup, so we could just relax and enjoy ourselves. It was thrilling and refreshing, and it was the most enjoyable activity we've done in Hawaii so far. The kids had a great time too.

It's possible to take pictures while holding an iPhone, but having a GoPro or similar device allows for much better shots. The crew also takes photos and sells them: one photo for $15, four for $30, or all 50 for $66. Most people ended up buying all of them.

The North Shore is a great place as well. You can cover everything in about two hours, and although the mornings start a bit early, I think it's efficient for making the most of the day. I would love to do it again.

家族５人で参加しました。年末ということもあり日本人の方も多く、同じグループみなさん日本人で最後の方には連帯感も生まれ楽しかったです。
他の方も書かれていましたが、クルーの皆さんも非常にフレンドリーでしかもセットアップも全てやってくれるし、あとは身を任せて楽しむだけでした。
スリルも爽快感もあり、これまでのハワイでのアクティビティでは１番楽しかったです。子供もすごく楽しんでいました。
iPhone持ちながらも可能ですが、GoProなどあるとかなりいい画が撮れます。またクルーの方が写真を撮ってくれ、販売されるのですが、１枚１５ドル、４枚３０ドル、５０枚全て６６ドルで購入できます。ほとんどの方が全部買っていました。

ノースショアという場所もいいですね。2時間ほどで全て回れるし、朝は少し早いですが効率良く１日が使えていいと思います。
またやってみたいです。

The path was relatively flat, so there was no change. During the explanation, I was told to leave everything hanging around my neck, so I honestly put my smartphone in the locker. All the other foreigners had theirs with them, and the instructor asked, "Don't you have yours?" I explained that I was told to put it in the locker. It's a shame I couldn't capture the beautiful scenery or the riding experience. I thought there should have been better explanations.

割と平坦な道だったので、変化はありませんでした。説明時、首から掛けるとのは全て置いてくださいと言われスマホもバカ正直にロッカーに。
他の外人の方は全員持っていらして、イントストラクターの方に「あなたたちは、持ってないの？」と言われロッカーに入れろって言われたのよーと説明しました。せっかくの景色もridingも撮れず残念。説明不足。特記に書けばいいのにと思いました

very entertaining and educational!
Outstanding displays, music, and dance!

It was my first experience, but it was amazing. If you're hesitating, I definitely think you should go for it. It's not scarier than bungee jumping, haha.

初めての体験でしたが最高でした。
迷ってるなら絶対やった方が良いと思います。
バンジージャンプより怖くないですw

At first, I thought it might be scary, but when I actually tried it, it felt amazing and was the best! I was a bit anxious because it was only in English, but even without being able to speak English, the instructor explained things with gestures and created a great atmosphere, so I didn't feel scared at all. When I come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate in this activity!

はじめは怖いかなと思ってましたが、実際にやってみるととても気持ちが良く最高でした！英語のみなので少し不安があったのですが、英語が出来なくてもインストラクターさんがジェスチャーとかで説明してくれたりその場の雰囲気を盛り上げてくれたので怖いという感覚があまりありませんでした。ハワイに来た際にはまたこのアクティビティに参加したいです！

I have a fear of heights, and after much consideration, I decided to give it a try for the first time. The accompanying instructor was very good, but the man who explained things upon arrival smelled of alcohol and made mistakes with the filming method. I didn't realize it at the time, so I had to drive back to the skydiving site later to process a refund. I found the shady man who spoke Japanese to be very unpleasant.

高所恐怖症で、悩んだ挙句初チャレンジしました。付き添いのインストラクターは、とても良かったのですが、到着時の説明と送ってくれたおじさんが、お酒くさいし、撮影方法間違えて、その時に気がつかなかったから、後からまたレンタカーでスカイダイビング場まで行って、返金処理してもらいました。日本語のできるうさんくさいおじさんには、非常に不愉快でした。

When you gather at the meeting point, the bus will come to pick you up. Be sure to take a screenshot or print out your reservation confirmation. You'll take the bus to the airport. During the ride, you'll need to check and sign a document that is about four A4 pages long. The signature should be in Roman letters, as they apparently can't read kanji. Decide whether or not you want to do video recording. There are options for a GoPro version with the instructor or a separate cameraman who will jump at the same time. It's a bit pricey, so it's a tough decision, but most people opted for the separate cameraman option. Once you request the filming, you'll definitely end up purchasing either the video or photos.

At the reception, they will check your reservation number and passport. They are quite strict about verifying the reservation screen and age, so if you forget, you might not be able to jump. This was especially true for those who looked under 18 and had forgotten.

For tips, there are boxes for each instructor and cameraman where you can write a message and put your tip inside. For the bus driver, you can hand over the tips collectively with a handshake on the way back.

I was the last to board the bus out of 14 people. The bus picked us up at 5 AM, and we went skydiving with the first Cessna at 8 AM! I purchased the video. By 9 AM, we were relaxing on a bench. We returned to the meeting point just after noon.

迎えの場所に集まると、バスが迎えにくる。必ず予約した画面をスクショか 印刷をしておく。バスで飛行場まで行く。行く間にA4が4枚ほどの申し込み誓約書的なやつにチェックとサインをする。サインはローマ字。漢字は読めないらしい。ビデオ撮影をするかしないかを決めておく。インストラクターの手にgo-proバージョンか、別でカメラマンが同時に飛ぶバージョンがある。値段が高いので買うか迷うところだが、ほとんどの人が別カメラマンパターンを購入していた。撮影依頼をしたら必ず動画か写真の購入をすることになる。

受付で、必ず予約番号とパスポート確認をしていた。予約画面と年齢確認はかなりしっかり見ているので忘れた人は 飛べない可能性もある。とくに18歳以下に見えそうな人で忘れていた人は断られていた。

チップは それぞれのインストラクターやカメラマンの貯金箱みたいな箱があり、そこにメッセージを記入して入れるスタイル。バスの運転手へは 帰りにまとめて握手にまぜて渡すスタイル。

バスへ14名中ラスト乗車、朝5時にバスが迎えにきて、8時に1番手セスナでスカイダイビング！動画を購入。9時にはベンチでのんびり。12時過ぎには待ち合わせ場所まで戻ってきていました。

First, I want to share some important information!

It's better to take motion sickness medication. You can buy light snacks at the airport, but you might not be able to eat before the flight, haha. Since it's New Year's Day, we started an hour later than usual, but we were back at the hotel by around 11 AM. However, maybe because we were descending at 200 kilometers per hour? We felt extremely fatigued and both ended up sleeping for about four hours. I'm glad it was the day before we were heading home.

As for the details:

We took a bus to the airport. We signed a contract on board and received an explanation after arrival. Luggage can be stored in lockers for $1. You can choose photos and videos. They process them on the spot, and I received the photos via AirDrop. The video was also recorded simultaneously, and you can choose the actual footage later. The photos were fun, but be careful not to miss the scenery because you might be too focused on the photographer!

The deformation of my face during the flight was hilarious. I still laugh when I look at the photos!

I didn't have lace-up shoes, so I borrowed some on-site. It was free.

I tipped $20 to the instructor, $20 to the photographer, and $10 to the driver.

The instructors were familiar with Japanese people and were all very funny. They made us laugh with their jokes.

I'm glad I went skydiving in Hawaii, thinking it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

But really, it’s exhausting, so plan your schedule well!

先にお知らせしたい事から書きます！

酔い止めは飲んだ方がよいです。
飛行場で軽食が買えます。でも飛ぶ前には食べられないかも笑。
元旦なので、通常より1時間遅いスタートでしたがホテルに11時くらいには戻っていました。
ただ、やはり時速200キロで2キロ落ちているから？
疲労感半端なく、2人とも4時間くらい爆睡してしまいました。帰る日の前日で良かったです。

内容ですが、

バスに乗って飛行場へ。
社内で契約書にサイン、到着後に説明を受けます。
荷物は1ドルでロッカーに入れます。
写真とビデオを選択できます。
その場で加工して、写真はAirDropでもらえました。
ビデオも同時に撮影していて、後から実物を見て選ぶ事ができます。
写真、面白かったけどカメラマン意識しすぎて景色見逃すので注意！

飛んでいる時の顔肉の変形がやばかったです。
写真見て今でも笑えます！

靴は紐靴ではなかったので現地で借りました。無料でした。

チップはインストラクターへの20ドルとカメラマンへ20ドル、ドライバーへ10ドル　　

インストラクターは日本人慣れしており、とても面白い方ばかり。冗談まじりで笑かしてくれます。

一生に一回と思ってハワイでスカイダイビングして
良かったです！

でも、本当に疲れるから日程はよく考えて！

We participated as a family of five, and at first, we were anxious because we couldn't speak English. However, our group consisted entirely of Japanese people, so we had one male staff member who could speak some Japanese, along with one male staff member and one female staff member who spoke only English. All the staff were cheerful and polite, and we enjoyed ziplining while feeling the pleasant breeze in the great outdoors. The price is somewhat high, but I believe it's necessary to operate on such a scale. I'm sure you will feel satisfied.

家族5名で参加し英語が話せないので最初は不安でしたが私達のグループは全員日本人だったので多少日本語ができる男性スタッフ1名と、英語のみ話す男性1名、女性1名のスタッフがついてくださいました。どのスタッフも明るく丁寧に接して下さり、大自然の中で気持ちの良い風を感じながらのジップラインでした。お値段は多少かかりますがこれだけの規模を運営する上では必要だと思いました。きっと満足感は得られると思います。

Great experience. Nice location for surfing. The instructor is very nice and friendly

We participated as a family of three, including my college student son. He requested to do something that can't be experienced in Japan. We joined the two-hour horseback riding course at Kualoa Ranch, which we had been interested in for a while, with transportation included. While waiting, we watched a five-minute Japanese explanation DVD to confirm the key points. We quickly mounted the horses and started riding. As we explored the great outdoors of Kualoa Ranch, we soon saw the ocean on our right. The horses were very well-trained, so as long as we followed the instructions, there were no issues riding. The scenery we saw while riding felt particularly magnificent. There were explanations about filming locations for movies, which added to our enjoyment. The instructor spoke mostly in English, but we had a great time. All three of us were very satisfied. It was a horseback riding experience that is hard to come by in Japan.

大学生の息子と夫婦の3人で参加。日本では体験できない事をやりたいと言う息子のリクエスト。以前から気になっていたクアロアランチの送迎付き乗馬2時間コースに参加。待ち時間に5分程の日本語の解説のDVDを観て要点を確認。すぐに馬にまたがり乗馬スタート。クアロアランチの大自然の中を散策し、しばらくすると右手に海が見えてきます。非常に訓練された馬なので、解説通りにすれば問題なく乗れます。騎乗しながらみる景色は一段と素晴らしく感じられました。映画の撮影場所などの解説もあり、楽しめました。インストラクターはほぼ全て英語でしたが、楽しめました。3人とも大満足でした。日本ではなかなか体験できない乗馬体験でした。

I thought horseback riding could be done anywhere and that you had to wear a helmet, but it was really great! It was the first time all the horses were so gentle! The mountains and ocean visible from the horse really felt like Hawaii, and I'm glad I had the horseback riding experience here.

乗馬なんてどこでもできる、ヘルメットもつけないといけないのか、、と思っていましたが、とても良かったです！
馬たちが皆んなこんなに大人しかったのははじめてでした！
馬から見える山々と海もザ・ハワイという感じで、ここで乗馬体験してよかったです。

I was really able to see a lot of sharks up close! I was surprised at how big the gaps in the cage were at first, but it was safe and enjoyable!

ほんとに至近距離でほんとにたくさんのサメをみることができました！
思っていたよりもかごの隙間が大きくて最初はびっくりしましたが安全で楽しめました！

The guide was friendly, funny, and it was really great. The sea was rough, so we couldn't see any sea turtles, but it was still satisfying.

ガイドさんがフレンドリーで面白くてとてもよかったです。海が荒れていて海亀は見れなかったけどそれでも満足いくものでした。

It says free shuttle service, but there is a big sign telling you to give the driver $10 per person.

The skydiving instructors also, of course, ask for tips.

無料送迎とありますが
送迎車に1人$10をドライバーに渡して下さいと
思いっきり貼紙をしてます

スカイダイビングのインストラクターにも
もちろんチップを要求されます

During the company trip, everyone said they were going to Kailua, but I really wanted to go horseback riding, so I participated alone. But it was so much fun! At Dole Plantation, I enjoyed freshly squeezed pineapple juice and was very satisfied! Then, I went to Haleiwa Town and savored garlic shrimp! At a restaurant recommended by the guide, it was the most plump and delicious garlic shrimp I've ever had! After that, we headed to the North Shore, passing by the Triple Crown (surfing competition). Finally, it was horseback riding time! I was able to truly enjoy the scenery and riding!

The guide was very nice, and to avoid traffic from the Triple Crown, we took a different route back, stopping by a macadamia nut factory along the way. There, I bought macadamia nut butter and incredibly fresh macadamia nuts!

I really enjoyed it!!!!!

社員旅行に行った際、皆、カイルアに行くと言うことで、私一人どうしても乗馬をしたく、一人寂しく参加しました。
だけど、ものすごく楽しかった!
ドールプランテーションでは生絞りパイナップルジュースを飲み、大満足!
そして、ハレイワタウンに行き、ガーリックシュリンプを堪能!ガイドさんおすすめのお店で、今まで食べたガーリックシュリンプの中で、一番プリップリで美味しかった!
その後は、トリプルクラウン(サーフィンの大会)を横目にノースショアへ。いよいよ乗馬タイム!景色と乗馬を心の底から楽しむことが出来ました!

そして、ガイドさんがとても良い方で、トリプルクラウンによる渋滞を避けるため、別ルートで帰路に向かったのですが、途中、マカデミアンナッツ工場に立ち寄ってくださいました。
そこで、マカデミアンナッツバター、すごくフレッシュなマカデミアンナッツを購入!

本当にenjoyしました!!!!!

What an amazing day, full of many unique experiences and very friendly staff.

It started with a great host on the bus ride to the centre. He was funny, informative and well spoken. The day continued with our guide throughout the centre. I recommend paying for the Ambassador experience. It is worth the extra dollars to ensure you make all the shows on time.

The feast we had for dinner was excellent quality and ample. There was the opportunity to eat seconds and thirds if you wanted.

The final show the breath of life was an amazing display. I would have been satisfied with just that show and dinner.

I will be recommending this experience to my family and friends.

Last time, I participated in the Jurassic Park one-hour course. It was fun, so I joined this course where I could ride longer and also enjoy sightseeing. I was very satisfied to be able to see sea turtles as well.

前回は、ジュラシックパーク1時間コースに参加しました。楽しかったのでもっと乗馬時間が長く観光もできるこのコースに参加し、観光もでき、ウミガメにもあえてよかったです。に大変満足でした。

The tour content is lacking for the cost. It was a horseback riding course for about 15,000 yen per person, but there wasn't even time to take pictures in front of the filming location of Jurassic Park. I guess it's because of the horses?

費用に対してのツアー内容が薄いです。
日本円で1人15000円ほどの乗馬コースでしたが、ジュラシックパークのロケ地の前を通っても一緒に写真を撮ったりする時間はないです。馬がいるからしょうがないのかな？？

I participated with four friends. The bus guide was very friendly. The experience itself was interesting and good. It was my third time, and it was really great.

友達4人と参加しました
バスのガイドさんも凄くフレンドリーでした
体験自体は、面白く、良かったです
三度目の経験でしたが、凄く良かったです

It was my first skydiving experience in Hawaii.

It took just under an hour to drive from Honolulu to the North Shore. We arrived at the airport while it was still dark and waited for dawn to jump.

Seeing the beautiful ocean from the sky was pure happiness. It was the best! ☆

ハワイでは、初めてのスカイダイビングでした。

ホノルルからノースショアまで
１時間弱
車に乗っての移動。
まだ、暗いうちに飛行場に到着
夜明けを待って飛びました。

綺麗な海を空から見る幸せ
最高です☆

I booked a 2-hour course starting at 10:05. I arrived in about an hour, but with the check-in process, there wasn't much time for a leisurely lunch, so I bought a large muffin at the shop. There weren't many options at the shop, and both the restaurant and shop had higher prices. There are benches available, so I think it's better to bring light snacks like bread. It was a hot day, and I was sweating quite a bit, but it felt cool when passing through the shade of the trees. Since we walked through shaded areas, muddy paths, and stream-like trails, wearing clothes that can get dirty is a good idea. We were a team of six, and when the guiding staff instructed us to hurry, we would start jogging a bit, but all the horses were well-behaved! Large bags can be stored in lockers, but you can bring water, your phone, and a camera. The 2 hours felt long, but the scenery was wonderful, and it was a fun and great experience.

ピックアップ10：05の2時間コースに予約しました。１時間ほどで到着ですが、受付などしているとゆっくり昼食の時間がなく、売店で大きめのマフィンを購入しました。売店もあまり種類がないのとレストラン・売店ともに値段が高めです。ベンチもあるのでパンなどの軽食を持参される方が良いかと思います。天気が良い日だったので、かなり暑く汗が出ましたが、木陰の間を通る時は涼しく感じます。木陰の間を通ったりぬかるんでいる道や小川のような道を歩くので汚れても良い服装が安心です。６人１チームでしたが、誘導するスタッフの支持で急ぐ時は、小走り程度に急に走り出しますがどの馬もおりこうでした！　大きな荷物はロッカーに預けますが、お水や携帯・カメラは持参できます。２時間長く感じますが景色も素晴らしく楽しい良い経験ができました。
