All Reviews for North Shore, Oahu

When I go to Hawaii, I often go horseback riding in various places, but the course here takes you through the mountains, and from near the top, you can see the ocean in its entirety, which is amazing. The well-trained, gentle horses sometimes like to nibble on grass along the way, so be careful.

ハワイに行くといろいろな場所で良く乗馬しますが、ここのコースは山の中を乗馬しますが頂上付近からは海が一望でき最高です。
良くなれたおとなしい馬が、たまに道草を食べたがりますので注意です。

From the time we were greeted to the final good byes it was a perfect day. everyone was so kind and gracious. Our guide Raff was outstanding and is considered ohana to us. He was very knowledgeable and took care of us so well we didn't want the day to end.
Next time we return to Hawaii we will come back to Polynesian Cultural Center.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.

The facility was clean, and the instructors were really nice. I had a great time in the great outdoors. They also took photos, which helped me create lasting memories.

施設も綺麗でインストラクターの方もすごく良い方でした。
大自然の中ですごく楽しめました。
写真も撮ってもらえるので思い出に残りました。

The meeting time was early at 4:15, which was tough, but once I flew, I understood why. I felt like a bird on a global scale, surrounded by the coastline and horizon illuminated by the morning sun, stretching endlessly.

I was relieved to have staff who spoke Japanese. My instructor and photographer were both handsome and quiet, just like my 26-year-old son! When I said I was nervous, he replied, "Me too..." and I started to worry if he was inexperienced, but it seemed he might just not be good with Japanese people. Once we got on the Cessna, he quickly set everything up, and after we took off, he talked to me a lot, showed me beautiful scenery, and made thrilling turns. I even got to steer the parachute, which was a valuable experience.

I tried to keep a big smile, but my mouth got so dry! If you put your mind to it, you can do anything! My perspective on life has changed!

集合時間が4:15と早く、辛かったけれど飛んでみて納得。朝日に照らされた海岸線や水平線が限りなく広がるなか、地球規模の鳥になれました。

日本語が通じるスタッフがいて安心でした。
私のインストラクターもカメラマンも、イケメンで寡黙な26才
息子と同じ歳！
ドキドキすると言ったら、僕も・・・って経験が浅いのかと不安になりましたが、そうではなく、日本人が苦手なのかな？
セスナに乗ったらテキパキとセッティングしてくれて、飛び出したあとは、たくさん話しかけてくれて、美しい景色を見せてくれたり、クルクル旋回してスリルを味合わせてくれました。
パラシュートの操縦もさせてもらえて、貴重な体験でした。

ビッグスマイルを心がけていたら、口の中がカラッカラに-_-b
死ぬ気になれば何でもできる‼️
人生観もかわりました‼️

The staff's guidance was friendly, and there are plenty of zip lines with long distances, so you can enjoy it to the fullest. Additionally, you can enjoy the scenery of both the sea and the mountains, making it a great value experience.

スタッフの方々の案内も親切で、ジップラインの本数も多く距離も長いので、たっぷり楽しめます。
また景色まで海も山も楽しめて、お得感満載です。

I had read reviews that it takes a long time to get to standby, so I was prepared for that, but I was called within 30 minutes and got on the Cessna. My ears hurt from the pressure during the descent, but once the parachute opened, the view was truly beautiful and I really enjoyed it.

スタンバイまで時間がかかるとの口コミ読んでいたので覚悟して行きましたが、30分もしないうちに呼ばれて、セスナに乗ってた。落下中は気圧で耳が痛くなったけど、パラシュート開いてからは景色が本当に綺麗で楽しめました。

I had always wanted to go horseback riding in Hawaii, and after taking riding lessons in Japan, my dream finally came true. During a two-hour tour of locations from Jurassic Park, I enjoyed the beautiful scenery on horseback in great weather.

いつかはハワイで乗馬がしたいと、日本で乗馬を習っていましたが、ついに念願が叶いました。
ジュラシックパーク撮影地などを巡る2時間、天気が良く素晴らしい景色を馬に乗って堪能しました。

I've often heard that it changes your perspective on life, and it's definitely true. The intensity and thrill are incredible. The instructor was kind, which helped reduce my fear by half. (laughs)

人生観変わるってよく聞いてましたが、確かにその通り。迫力とスリルはハンパありません。
インストラクターも親切で恐怖心は半減できました。（笑）

It was a valuable experience to ride horses along the ocean. The service was great, and it became a wonderful memory. I was also able to eat the garlic shrimp I wanted on the North Shore, and the schedule was efficient, which left me feeling satisfied!

海の横を乗馬でき、貴重な体験でした。対応もよく、いい思い出になりました。ノースショアで食べたかったガーリックシュリンプも食べられて、効率のいいスケジュールで、満足感ありです！

I had my first horseback riding experience in my life! Tofi was free-spirited and almost strayed from the line, but it was so much fun. I want to do it again somewhere!

人生で初めての乗馬体験をしました！トフィちゃん自由奔放で列から外れかけちゃうけどめっちゃ楽しかったです。またどこかでしたいなあ〜

I had fun hiking to the waterfall and going swimming but the water was freeeezing!! I felt like the first time I did this activity we had a lot more time. I was able to snorkel, eat, stand up paddle and walk the town. This time I felt like going to the nut farm wasted a lot of time to do the activities. That part should be taken out and the time should go towards the actual activities. But all in all is was fun.

The horseback riding itself was great, but it was quite far from Haleiwa, taking about 40 minutes by bike one way. I recommend renting a car or chartering a vehicle if you participate in this option. However, unlike Kualoa, riding by the seaside was very pleasant with the refreshing sea breeze. The guide was in English, but there were Japanese informational materials at the reception, and they also showed a Japanese instructional video before the ride, which was reassuring.

乗馬そのものは良かったですが、ハレイワからも離れており自転車で片道40分くらいはかかりました。こちらのオプションに参加する場合はレンタカーか、車チャーターすることをお勧めします。ただ、クアロアとは違い海辺で乗馬できるのはとても海風が心地よく爽快でした。英語ガイドでしたが、受付に日本語の案内書面もありますし乗馬する前に日本語のレクチャー動画も見せてくれるので安心でした。

We jumped together to commemorate completing the Honolulu Marathon!
We requested a video shoot with a cameraman.
All the staff were kind and made it enjoyable. They provided explanations of the scenery and made sure we could relax until we reached the diving point.
There was a moment of fear when jumping from the Cessna, but without hesitation, we were pushed out from behind and enjoyed freefall and parachuting in the wonderful scenery.
During the parachute descent, they spun us around for fun, but I got a bit nauseous. I heard it's good to say "please don't spin." Still, it was an amazing experience!
My husband landed with a sliding landing, and his pants got all dirty. I recommend wearing pants that you don't mind getting dirty.
It was an exhilarating experience out of the ordinary.
The editing of the video is also cool, and I recommend it. I keep watching it, enjoying the beautiful scenery and my funny face.

Thank you, Rick and all staff!

Honolulu marathonを完走した記念に夫婦で飛びました!
私達はカメラマンつきのムービー撮影をお願いしました。
スタッフはどなたも親切で、楽しませてくれます。ダイビングポイントに到達するまでにも、景色の説明やReluxできるようにしてくれます。
セスナから飛ぶ瞬間の怖さはありましたが、躊躇する間もなく、後ろから押し出され素晴らしい景色の中のフリーホールとパラシュート飛行を楽しみます。
パラシュートでは、回転させて楽しませてくれますが、私は酔いました。please don't spinと言えば良いそうです。それでも、とても素晴らしい経験でした！
主人の着陸時は、スライディング着陸しておりズボンは土まみれです。汚れても良いズボンをオススメします。
非日常的な体験に大興奮でした。
ムービーの編集もかっこよくてオススメです。何度も見ながら、素晴らしい景色と面白い自分の顔を楽しんでいます。

thank you,Rick and all staff!

It was my first time, but it was amazing! I want to do it again when I come to Hawaii. I got a little drunk, but my partner, who took motion sickness medicine, was fine, so next time I want to take the medicine and give it a try.

初めてでしたが最高でした！ハワイに来たら、またやりたいです。
私は少し酔いましたが、酔い止めを飲んでいた相方は平気だったので次回は酔い止めを飲んで挑みたいと思います。

It took about an hour and a half from Waikiki, but it was a very peaceful and relaxing ranch. The horseback riding options for preschoolers are limited, but this plan is very fulfilling. We were able to leisurely stroll through the vast grounds and even had designated photo time at various points. Along the way, we learned a lot about Hawaiian plants, how to care for horses, and how to give commands. At the end, we gave a thank-you carrot, brushed the horse, and took photos, making for a total experience of about 1 hour and 30 minutes. They kindly answered all of my daughter's many questions, and she fell in love with horseback riding. It felt like a personal English lesson while riding, which was a great deal. The entrance to the ranch is a bit tricky, but it was truly a wonderful place. If you have some time to spare, I highly recommend it!

ワイキキから１時間半位かかりましたが、とてものどかでのんびり出来る牧場でした。未就学児でもできる乗馬は限られていますがこちらのプランはとても充実しています。広大な敷地をのんびり散策しながらポイントで止まって写真ＴＩＭＥまで配慮してもらえました。道中ハワイの植物の事や、馬のお世話の仕方、指示の出し方等など深いお話が聞けました。最後にありがとうのニンジンをあげてブラッシング、写真撮影で終わりですが、トータル1：30は体験できました。娘の数々の質問にも丁寧に答えてくれ乗馬が大好きになりました。
乗馬をしながら英語の個人レッスンの様でとてもお得に感じてしまいました。
牧場に入る所が少しややこしいですが本当に素敵な場所でした。
お時間に余裕がある方は是非！！

The skydiving experience itself was absolutely amazing, and I was more excited than with any activity I have done in the past! However, during the shuttle ride, we had to fill out a waiver with a lot of items, and the bumpy road to the airport made me feel nauseous. I also thought the wait time during the experience was a bit long. Nevertheless, for those who have never tried skydiving, I believe it will definitely be the best experience. The instructor who jumped with me was very friendly and helped ease my nerves.

スカイダイビング体験自体はとても素晴らしく、過去体験したどんなアクティビティよりも興奮しました！
ただし、送迎の車内で免責事項等の誓約書を記入するのですが、項目が非常に多く、飛行場までの道もガタガタする道があり、酔ってしまいました。
体験の際も、少し待ち時間が長かったかなと思いました。
しかし、スカイダイビングは未経験の方にとっては確実に最高のものになると思います。
一緒に飛んでくれたインストラクターの方も非常に気さくで、緊張をほぐしてくれました。

I participated alone, but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. If possible, I would like an additional 30 minutes for free exploration of the town.

The main horseback riding experience has an excellent location, and the higher price compared to other companies results in greater satisfaction.

自分だけ一人参加でしたが、ほとんど気兼ねはいりませんでした。
出来れば町並みの自由散策があと30分欲しいです。

メインの乗馬はロケーションが抜群で、他社より高い分満足度が高いです。

It was my first experience, but I wasn't scared because I love the sky so much ^_^
But I was really surprised!
You just jump out without hesitation!
The Earth is round, the sky and the sea are beautiful and amazing, and I just love Hawaii!
The instructor and the person who filmed the video were so cool!
If you have even a little interest, it's definitely worth the time and money to experience it!

初めての体験でしたが、大好きな空なので怖くなかったです^_^
でもほんとびっくりしました
躊躇なく飛び出すんです！
地球が丸い事、空と海が綺麗で素晴らしい事、ハワイが大好き〜って感じです
インストラクターの方、ビデオ撮影してくださった方がカッコいいのなんのって！　
ちょっとでも興味があれば！時間とお金はかかりますが経験した方が絶対いい！

I have a fear of heights, and even bridges scare me, but I decided to sign up for a skydiving tour, thinking it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Until I actually boarded the plane, my heart was racing, haha.

When it was time to jump, and the door of the plane opened with the wind rushing in, I felt a sense of dread. Fortunately, I was the first to jump, and before I could think too much, I was thrown into the sky, haha.

I thought I was going to die, but when I turned to face forward, there was a breathtaking view! I truly believe it was the best experience of my life.

It was absolutely amazing!

高所恐怖症で、陸橋も怖い私ですが、一生に一度はと、決死の思いで、スカイダイビングツアーに申し込み。実際に機内に乗り込むまでは心臓がバクバクしてました笑笑
いざ、飛ぶとなった時、機内のドアが開き、風が入り込んで来た時は南無三の思い。幸運にも一番最初に飛び出す順番で、考え込む前に空に放り込まれてました笑
あ、死んだと思いましたが、背面から正面を向いたら、そこには絶景！今までで最高の人生体験をできたなと思ってます。
ほんと、最高でした！

I have been to Hawaii over ten times, but this was my first visit to Kualoa Ranch. I thought a two-hour horseback ride might be long, but I decided to book it since I felt two hours would be necessary to see places like the filming locations of Jurassic World. My horse was very gentle and well-behaved. There were some horses that started eating the grass by the roadside and stopped along the way. (I realized this is what "taking a detour" really means.) Experiencing the grandeur of Kualoa Ranch was amazing, and I was moved to think that they filmed Jurassic World and King Kong here. However, I must say that after two hours of riding, my backside was quite sore.

ハワイには10数回行きましたがクアロアランチには初めて行きました。2時間の乗馬は長いかなと思いましたが、ジュラシックワールドの撮影地などを見て回るには2時間は必要かなと思い予約しました。私の馬はとても素直で大人しく良い子でした。中には途中で道端の雑草などを食べ始めて止まってしまう馬がいました。（これが本当の「道草を食う」と分かりました。）クアロアランチの雄大さを体感し、ここであのジュラシックワールドやキングコングを撮影したんだと感動しました。さすがに2時間の乗馬は最後にお尻が痛かったです。

Skydiving was something I absolutely wanted to do the next time I came to Hawaii. My long-awaited dream has come true. The beautiful scenery of Oahu was so breathtaking that any feelings of fear just disappeared. I believe everyone should try it at least once in their lifetime. It was so amazing that it brought me to tears!!

次ハワイにきたら絶対と思っていたスカイダイビング。念願の夢が叶いました。怖いなんて感情が吹っ飛んでしまうくらい綺麗なオアフの景色。死ぬまでに一回はやるべきだと思います。涙が出るくらい最高でした！！

I was a bit anxious about the early morning departure, but I was picked up near the hotel, so it was fine!!

During the trip, we watched an explanatory video and filled out a waiver, which saved us time.

We arrived early, so we were able to go skydiving sooner and return to the hotel early! It seems like it's first-come, first-served, so it was great that we got to the skydiving facility early that day! Lucky!

The staff were great and made sure we enjoyed the thrill even with my halting English!! There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring!

早朝出発で朝不安でしたが、ホテル近くまで迎えに来てもらえたので、大丈夫でした！！

道中に説明ビデオを見たり、誓約書を書いたりして時短になりました。

早めに到着できたので、早めにスカイダイビングをでき、ホテルに早めに帰ってくることができました！
どうも先着順なようで、当日早くスカイダイビング施設にいけたことがよかったようです！ラッキー

スタッフもこちらの辿々しい英語でもスリル感を楽しませてくれてよかったです！！
日本語喋れるスタッフもいて安心できました！

I waited for an hour.

I called and somehow managed to get another bus to come, but even after arriving, there was no time at all, and I hurriedly went horseback riding just in time for the return bus.

It might just be a coincidence, but I'm so disappointed that I feel like I want my money back.

I had trusted Veltra quite a bit, so it's even more disappointing. I was using it to avoid these kinds of troubles, but after this experience, it feels like there's not much point in using it anymore. I don't have the mental space to enjoy these kinds of troubles.

1時間待ちぼうけ
電話してなんとか別のバスが回ってくれたものの、到着しても時間が全くなく急いで乗馬のみして帰りのバスの時間

たまたまなんでしょうが、金返してほしいくらいがっかり

結構veltra信用してただけに余計残念
こういうトラブルがないように使っていたのに、ここまでされると使う意味があまりない
トラブルを楽しめるほどの心の余裕はありません

It was a 2-hour horseback riding course. I have experienced horseback riding several times before, but I wonder if the horses in Hawaii are bigger? About 10 minutes after we started, my back and waist began to hurt, and then my hips as well... However, the weather was great, and the views of the vast nature, mountains, and ocean while riding were amazing! Next time I go horseback riding in Hawaii, I think I'll sign up for a shorter session.

2時間の乗馬コースでした。
今まで 何度か乗馬を経験してきましたが ハワイのお馬さんは大きいのかな？
スタートしてから10分程で 背中腰回りが痛くなり始め その後股関節までもが...w
ですが お天気にも恵まれ 広大な自然と山 海
乗馬しながらの眺めは最高でした！
次またハワイでの乗馬をする時は 短い時間で申し込もうと思ってます。

I eat pineapple ice cream at Dole and shop at my usual store in Haleiwa. It's quite challenging to go alone, so this is very helpful. I can easily bring back a lot of shopping to Waikiki, which is convenient.

ドールでパイナップルアイスを食べて、ハレイワのいつものお店で買い物をします。
個人で行くにはけっこう大変なので、とても助かっています。
たくさんの買い物も、ワイキキまで楽々持って帰ってこれますし便利です。

I participated in the morning tour. (Since I was staying in Haleiwa, I joined the tour alone from the local area.) The reception booth is open early in the morning, so you just need to say your name and then wait at the designated spot to board the boat. Since it was a completely English tour, I honestly felt a bit anxious because I'm not very good at English.

Once I got on the boat, the captain-like person came out after a while and started talking about the precautions with some jokes mixed in. Honestly, I couldn't understand what he was saying at all (I think he was explaining something like not to lean on the cage or stick your feet out, or you might get eaten by a shark). However, after that, he talked about how the teams would be divided and the order of entry into the cage, which I managed to understand.

Then, following the instructions, when it was time, we put on our underwater masks and snorkels and entered the water. No fins were allowed; we were barefoot. I wasn't timing it, but we were given plenty of time, enough to get bored. However, since there were quite a few people in the cage, it felt like we were just floating around and observing the sharks underwater. I tried to dive down and observe once, but I got scolded for that.

That said, the sharks didn't seem to be interested in humans, and while I was nervous when I first entered, the fear gradually faded away. In the end, there were even people taking pictures while hanging their feet over the edge of the cage. It seems there were no restrictions on bringing cameras or videos; for those who didn't have one, they were available for rent for a fee.

After about ten minutes of watching, I started to get bored and thought, "Is this ever going to end?" However, throughout the time we were in the cage, the sharks were always nearby, swimming around. They might have been throwing out some food.

Once all the teams finished, we headed straight back to the port. There wasn't really anything else to see.

Even though I participated alone, my lack of English skills and communication ability made it feel quite isolating. All the other participants were young American students who were all chattering among themselves, and I felt a bit left out. I ended up just looking off into the distance by myself.

Still, I think it was good to experience something I normally wouldn't get to do. By the way, the captain seemed like a nice person. He was considerate of me being alone.

P.S.: After reading others' impressions, I noticed something different from my experience: the boat's swaying. It might have been better in the morning, or maybe the waves were just calm that day, but it was very comfortable. No participants seemed to get seasick, so the conditions were probably good.

Also, a note of caution: there were a lot of jellyfish, possibly due to the season. They were small and looked like trash, so it was hard to avoid them. If you're bare-skinned, you might get stung quite a bit. I recommend wearing a rash guard that covers your arms just in case.

朝一のツアーに参加しました。（ハレイワに滞在していたので現地から一人で参加）
朝早くから受付のブースは空いているので、名前を言ってあとは指定された場所で待機していれば乗船できます。
完全な英語ツアーなので英語があまり得意ではない僕にとっては正直、不安でした。
船に乗り込むとしばらくして船長さんらしき人が出てきて何やら冗談混じりで注意事項を話し始めます。正直何言ってるか全然わからないw
（多分ケージにもたれかかったり、足出すなよ。サメに喰われるぞ的な説明だったかと）
ただ、その後ケージに入るチーム分けと入る順番を話してくれてこれは何とかなりました。
あとは指示に従って時間になれば水中マスクとシュノーケルをつけて入ります。フィンはなし。素足です。
時間を計っていたわけではないですが、飽きるくらい十分の時間が与えられます。
ただオリに入る人数がそこそこ多いのでプカプカ浮きながら水中を見てサメを観察する感じです。一回頭から潜って観察したんですが、やるなって怒られました。
とはいえ、サメは人間に興味無さそうだし、入った時はドキドキですが、だんだんと恐怖感は無くなります。
しまいにはオリに足かけて潜って写真撮ってる人もいました。
カメラとかビデオの持ち込み、撮影は制限無いようです。ない人には貸し出しも有料でしてるみたいでした。
さすがに10分も見ると飽きてきて、もう終わらないかなぁなんて思ってしまいました。ただオリの中にいる間中、サメはずっと近くにいてウロウロしてくれてました。エサでも撒いてるのかも。
全チーム見終わったらすぐ港に直帰。ほかに特に何かを見るということもありませんでした。

一人での参加ですが、僕にあまり英語力とコミュ力がなかったのもありますが、結構なアウェイ感です。他の参加者がみんなアメリカの学生さんみたいな若い人ばっかりだったのて内輪でキャッキャやってて、ちょっとその中には入れないなあと。遠くを見ながらのボッチでした。

まあそれでも普段体験出来ない事が出来たんで良かったかなと思います。
ちなみに船長さんはなかなかいい人そうでしたよ。ボッチの僕にも気をつかってくれてました。


追記：他の皆さんの感想みて僕の時と違うと思ったのは揺れ。朝一がいいのか、たまたま波が少なかったのか、快適そのものでした。参加者で酔ってるひとは誰もおらず環境は良かったのかも。
あと、注意点ですが、季節柄かも知れませんが、めっちゃクラゲがいます。しかも小さくてゴミみたいなやつなので避けようがない。
裸だとかなりチクチクやられるかも知れません。腕が隠れるラッシュガードを念のため着ていくことをお勧めします。

I couldn't go up to 4000 meters due to bad weather, but it was the best time! I definitely want to fly again when I travel to Hawaii.

4000メーターまでは天候不良で行けませんでしたが最高の時間でした！またハワイ旅行に行くときは必ず飛びたいです。

It was an amazing two hours filled with dynamic nature that left me in awe! It’s worth more than the price! Also, it was my first experience with horseback riding, and I was a bit anxious, but all the horses were well-behaved and walked straight just by sitting on them. With the breeze, it felt great, so the two hours of riding flew by! I was torn between other activities, but choosing horseback riding was the right decision!

ダイナミックな自然に終始感動した最高の2時間でした！
お値段以上の価値はあります！
また、乗馬も初体験で不安はありましたが、馬たちはみんないい子でただ座ってるだけで真っ直ぐ歩いてくれます。
風もあって気持ちがいいので、2時間の乗馬はあっという間でした！
他のアクティビティと迷いましたが、乗馬にして正解でした！

I participated with my wife on our honeymoon. The scenery along the way was breathtaking. A guide accompanies you, but they won't hold the reins for you. Neither of us had any horseback riding experience, but we were able to ride without any issues. After riding, our backsides were sore, but even with that, it was a wonderful experience. The riding area has a distinct smell from the stables, so those who are not used to animals should be prepared. All the horses are well-trained, so there's no need to worry.

新婚旅行で妻と参加しました。
道中の景色は圧巻。
ガイドは付きますが、馬の手綱を引いてはくれません。
二人とも乗馬経験はありませんでしたが、問題なく乗ることができました。
乗り終わった後、おしりが痛くなりますが、それを差し引いても素晴らしい体験でした。
乗り場は馬屋独特の臭いがありますので、動物に慣れない方は覚悟が必要です。
馬は皆、きちんと調教されていますので、心配はいりません。

On the day, clouds formed, and the weather changed rapidly with rain and sunshine. Although there was a bit of waiting time, when it was our turn to fly, we could see some clear skies and a perfect round rainbow right in front of us, which was amazing. It was perfect to have such an experience. My family flew with me and they were very happy. It was a wonderful experience that is hard to come by. The person who flew with us was very experienced, with nearly 9,000 flights, and truly a professional. Thank you very much. I want to do it again.

当日は雲が発生し、雨が降ったり、晴れたりと目まぐるしく天候が変わり、少し待ち時間はありましたが、自分達が飛んだ際には晴れ間も見えて、完璧な丸い虹が目の前で見れて最高でした。こんな事が経験できてパーフェクト。家族も一緒に飛んで大変喜んでました。なかなか出来ない素晴らしい体験でした。
一緒飛んでくれた方も9000回近い経験豊富な方で本当にプロでした。ありがとうございました。
またやりたい。
