All Reviews for North Shore, Oahu

The Japanese driver provided guidance on the scenery and a brief history of Hawaii. It was such a satisfying tour that I almost forgot the main event was horseback riding.

Of course, all the horses at Turtle Bay Resort were charming, and the riding staff were wonderful people. On my next trip to Hawaii, I plan to take some time to explore beyond just Waikiki.

日本人運転手さんが車窓や、ハワイの簡単な歴史など、ガイドもしてくださいました。メーンイベントが乗馬であることをうっかり忘れてしまうほどの、大満足なツアーでした。

もちろん、タートルベイリゾートの馬たちは皆んなチャーミングで、乗馬スタッフもステキな方たちでした。
次のハワイ旅行の機会には、ワイキキだけではなく時間をとって足を伸ばしてみようと思いました。

Absolutely recommended!
In the end, I was able to let go and even do a handstand!
Even a 47-year-old woman like me could do it!
There was also a 74-year-old grandmother from England on the same team.
The staff were kind and fun, and they even assisted the grandmother.

絶対おすすめ！
最後は手を離して逆立ちまでできました！
47歳のおばさんでもできました！
74歳のイギリスからのおばあちゃんも同じチームにいました。
スタッフがおばあちゃんも補助してくれたり、優しい楽しいスタッフでした。

I was able to enjoy the grandeur of both the sea and the mountains, as well as experience the world of Jurassic Park, which is a delight for movie lovers.

海、山の雄大さを同時に味わえるうえ、映画好きにはたまらないジュラシックパークの世界を味わうことができました。

The horseback riding course was scheduled for 12:15 PM, but the pickup was at 7:05 AM. I was a bit confused about arriving at the ranch so early, but thanks to the quick thinking of a staff member who spoke Japanese, I was able to sign up for a bus tour of the ranch without wasting any time. The bus guide provided information in Japanese, so I was fine without any explanations from the instructor during the horseback riding, but I think it would have been nice to have at least a little guidance. The horses were really smart, remembering the course without any prompts, and they followed the instructor's whistle perfectly. The magnificent scenery was wonderful.

12時15分からの乗馬2時間コースでしたが、ピックアップは7時05分。
早すぎる牧場への到着でどうしようかと戸惑っていましたら、日本語を話せるスタッフさんの機転で急遽バスで牧場内を見学できるアクティビティの受付を案内して下さったので無駄な時間を過ごすことなくすみました。
バスのガイドさんが日本語で案内して下さったので、その後の乗馬でのインストラクターの説明がなくても大丈夫でしたが、ちょっとくらいは案内があってもいいと思います。
誘導もなくコースを覚えきっていて、たまにインストラクターさんの口笛できちんと進んでいくお馬さんは本当にお利口でした。
雄大な景色は素晴らしかったです。

We started with sightseeing in the morning and entered the center at 1 PM. The daytime shows and the park tour were enjoyable, and both lunch and dinner were delicious. I watched the night show from the front row center and was moved to tears by the dancers' powerful performance. I will definitely go again next time. Thank you very much to the guide who took care of us during this tour. I hope to see you again next year.

午前中の観光から始まり１３時にセンターに入りました。
昼間のショーも園内ツアーも楽しく、ランチやディナーは美味しく、ナイトショーは、前列中央で見ましたがダンサーの皆さんの迫力に感動し、涙が出ました。
次回も必ず行きます。
今回のツアーでお世話になったガイドさん　本当にありがとうございました。
来年　またお会いできるといいです。

This is my second time participating.
There is no Japanese at all, but that makes it fun.
I can somewhat understand the explanations, but that level of understanding is enough to enjoy it.
The staff are all fun people, and I want to participate again.
Also, the staff's speed in remembering participants' names is impressive.

2度目の参加です。
日本語は一切ないですが、それが楽しいです。
説明も何となく分かりますが、何となくで十分楽しいです。
スタッフも楽しい方ばかりでまた、参加したいです。
あと、スタッフの方の参加者の名前を覚える速度は速いです。

The air was cooler than I expected. I wished I had worn long sleeves to participate.

It was really fun to experience the speed after diving and passing through the clouds.

The view while descending after opening the parachute was very beautiful.

I thought I would like to go skydiving again if I have the chance.

上空は思っていたよりも肌寒かったです。長袖を着て参加すれば良かったと思いました。

ダイブしてからのスピード感や雲の中を通過する経験が出来て、とても楽しかったです。

パラシュートを開いてから、降下していく時の景色がとても綺麗でした。

また、機会があれば、スカイダイビングをしたいと思いました。

During my first dive, I was anxious because the staff was mostly foreign, but they explained everything clearly and kindly with gestures, so there were no issues at all. Of course, there were staff members who spoke Japanese as well, and I can truly recommend this place. I dove with my son and daughter, and I think it would have been worth it to add the photo option without being stingy.

初めてのダイブでスタッフも外人だらけで不安だったが、丁寧に分かりやすく身振りで説明してくれたので、全く問題なかった。もちろん日本語ができるスタッフもおり、本当にお勧めできる。息子、娘と3人で飛んだが、ケチらず写真のオプションをつけても良かったと思っている。

The reservation was for a tour at 2,438m for USD 166.49, but since all the other tour guests were at 4,267m and the guide recommended 4,267m as well, we upgraded on-site to 4,267m for USD 197.91. There was a mention of an age limit of 65 years, but I initially thought I would refrain due to my fear of heights; however, the local guide said there were no such restrictions and that even a 100-year-old could participate.

In addition to the above fees, the actual costs included at least tips for the instructor (USD 20), photographer (USD 20), and driver (USD 10), totaling an additional USD 50, plus a fee for downloading the video (which I forgot). So, you should expect around USD 400 per person. While this may not seem too high for the enjoyment of diving, I believe customers should be made aware of these costs in advance. At least my wife seemed to have enjoyed it thoroughly.

予約は2438ｍのUSD166.49のツアーですが、同時のツアー客がすべて4267mで、ガイドも4267mを推奨したため、現地の基地で4267mのUSD197.91にアップグレード。
年齢制限６５歳との記載がありましたが、もともと私は高所恐怖症で遠慮したものと思いますが、現地ガイドはそんな制限はなく１００歳でもOKとのこと。
実際の費用は、上記の料金以外に、少なくともインストラクタ（２０）、カメラマン（２０）、運転手（１０）へのチップで合計プラスUSD50、さらに動画のダウンロード費（？忘れた）が必要で、USD400／人と思うべし。
ダイビングの楽しさとの対価として決して高くないかもしれないが、事前にその費用をお客は認識されるべきと思う。
少なくとも妻は十分に楽しんだようだ、

I jumped into the clear blue sky with no wind. I was so moved that I couldn't find the words.

In the morning, I was filled with hope and had quite a bit of waiting time, so I relaxed on a bench until it was time. Everyone at the location was kind, and I boarded the plane with high spirits.

When my partner and I found a round rainbow in the sky and flew through it, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah, I love Hawaii!"

風が無い快晴の空に飛び込みました。
感動で言葉がでませんでした。

朝希望の私は待ち時間もかなりあり、
時間になるまでベンチでゆっくりしてました。
現地の方はみなさん優しく、
テンションぶち上げで飛行機にのりこみました。

パートナーと空で丸い虹を見つけて
その中をくぐってくれたときは、あぁハワイ大好きと言葉が漏れました。

Very entertaining day had by all.
Thanks Tommy for being not only informative but also entertaining.

Had a great time from the time of pick up all throughout to the Center , the driver and the assistant Cousin Vette was funny and very knowledgeable of the culture since he was from Samoa . It was a great experience to learn about different cultures and histories inside the Polynesian Cultural Center, glad we added this to our bucket list

I booked a plan that includes transportation! The bus arrived on time, and all the staff spoke English. Even if there was a language barrier, the staff tried to communicate with gestures, so it all worked out! The zip line was so much fun! It's fine even if you have a fear of heights! The fruit tomatoes and apple bananas from the farm were delicious too!

送迎付きのプランで予約しました！
バスも予定時刻通り迎えにきてくれて、スタッフさんは全て英語。言葉が通じなくてもスタッフさんもジェスチャーで伝えようとしてくれるのでなんとかなります！！
ジップラインはめっちゃ楽しかったです！高所恐怖症でも大丈夫！！農場で取れるフルーツトマトやアップルバナナも美味しかったです！

Loved everything from the beginning to end of the tour , the driver and the overall experience. Glad we got this tour package to understand more of Hawaiian culture

The tour lasts about 3 hours and includes 7 zip lines. 1) They teach you various sliding styles, 2) You can take commemorative photos at scenic spots! 3) Tomatoes, macadamia nuts, bananas. 4) The harness and rules are very thorough, so you can feel safe and there’s no risk of falling, which means you can also take photos with a smartphone selfie stick. 5) They talked to us in English about various things before sliding, but I didn’t understand… 6) The price is on the higher side, but I think it was worth the experience.

約3時間のツアーで、７本のジップラインがある。１）いろいろな滑降スタイルを教えてくれます、２）景色がよいところで、記念撮影！３）トマト、マカダミアナッツ、バナナ　４）ハーネスやルールも万全かなり安心で、落下することは無いでしょう、よって、スマホ自撮り棒で撮影も出来ます。　５）滑走する前にいろいろと英語で話してくれましたが？？英語がわからず…　６）金額的には、高めですが体験して良かったと思います。　

I had a great experience!!! The instructor was kind and taught us well, and I didn't feel unsafe at all. The view from the sky was something I've never seen before, and it became a lifelong memory! Thank you!

いい経験ができました！！！インストラクターの方も優しく教えていただき、危ないと思うことは１つもありませんでした。空から見える景色は今まで見たことないもので、一生の思い出になりました！ありがとうございます！

The guide was very kind and attentive! Additionally, since the guide explained everything in Japanese and most of the participants were Japanese, I felt comfortable joining.

The shrimp on the North Shore is incredibly delicious!! The town is colorful and very stylish, which really lifts your spirits! There are many souvenir shops, so I did a lot of shopping!

ガイドさんがとても優しく、丁寧な方でした！
また、ガイドさんが日本語で説明してくださったこと、参加者がほとんど日本人だったので安心して参加できました。

ノースショアのシュリンプがすっごい美味しい！！
街も、建物がカラフルですごくおしゃれでテンションが上がります！
お土産屋さんがたくさんあるので、沢山買い物しました！

Horseback riding on the beach was fabulous. Beautiful and very relaxing. Our ride was 11/2 hours long which was just perfect. We wanted the sunset ride but it was booked, so reserve early. The horses are well groomed and cared for. Highly recommend this experience.

We participated as a family. At first, it was scary, but since we got used to the gentle course before moving to higher altitudes, we were able to enjoy it without anxiety. There was an instructor who spoke a little Japanese, which was helpful. It would have been even more fun if we could speak English.

Since there are times when you need to hold onto the equipment with both hands, it would be convenient to have a case to hang your smartphone around your neck. I think it would be concerning if you only had it in your back pocket and it fell out.

When we were there, there was water available, but unfortunately, there were no bananas or other fruits (not sure if they ran out?).

Overall, it was a fun and great experience.

家族で参加。最初は怖かったのですが、優しいコースで慣れてから高地に上がるので不安なく楽しめました。
少し日本語が話せるインストラクターさんがいたので助かりました。
英語が出来たらもっと楽しかったでしょうね。
両手で器具につかまることもあるので　スマホを首からぶら下げられるケース等があると便利です。お尻のポケットだけでは　もし落としたら…と不安になると思います。
私たちの時は水はありましたが、バナナなどフルーツはなく（数が尽きたのか分かりません？）残念でした。

でも楽しくいい体験ができました。

Tour guide outstanding. Exceeded all our needs and provided excellent guide service and advice. Treated us special from the moment we met until our departure. Thanks very much for translating Chinese for my wife and daughter and making their experience memorable. Had the best time ever! Definitely need to do this again with same guide. Thank you!

I'm not very good with roller coasters (to give you an idea, I wouldn't want to ride Splash Mountain at Disneyland), so I hesitated, but I went ahead and did it!

Since you jump with an instructor, there's no time to hesitate up in the air, so you won't have extra time to feel scared! You only feel the sensation of floating a little at first, and after that, it's completely fine!

The scenery is absolutely beautiful, and the instructor is friendly and helps ease your nerves by chatting with you. We didn't have to wait long at all. It can be cold up in the air, so I recommend wearing long sleeves and long pants during this season.

The minimum tip for the instructor and photographer is $20, and for the driver, it's $10, so you'll need to prepare cash. Payment for optional fees can be made by card.

If you're hesitating, I definitely recommend giving it a try!

ジェットコースターがとても苦手(ディズニーランドで言えばスプラッシュマウンテンはあまり乗りたくない程度)なのでやるか迷いましたが決行しました！

インストラクターの方と一緒に飛ぶので上空で躊躇している余裕はありませんので余計な恐怖感を感じる時間はありません！
浮遊感を感じるのは最初に少しだけであとは全く問題ないです！

とにかく景色もとてもよく、インストラクターも気さくに話しかけてきて緊張をほぐしてくれます。
待ち時間は私たちの場合はそんなに待ちませんでした。上空は寒いのでこの時期なら長袖長ズボンがオススメです。

料金はチップでインストラクター、カメラマンに20ドル、ドライバーに10ドルが最低ラインなので現金の用意が必要です。
オプションの料金はカード払いも可能です。

迷ってる方は是非ご経験あれ！

The instructors were friendly and made me feel very excited even before flying. There were also people who spoke Japanese, which gave me a great sense of reassurance. When I was flying, I was asked if I was a fan, and when I answered "fan!!", they spun me around, which was a lot of fun.

インストラクターの方も気さくで、飛ぶ前からとっても楽しい気持ちにさせてくれました。日本語が喋れる方もいたので安心感がとてもありました。飛んでる時にfan?と聞かれてfan!!と答えたら、グルグル回してくれたりしてくれてとても楽しかったです。

It was skydiving from a height of 4,267 meters. Everything was a first-time experience and it was very valuable, but the instructor was very friendly and helped ease my nerves. At one point, due to some trouble with the airplane, we switched to a helicopter, but we were able to fly safely without any injuries. It was the best experience I've ever had! However, I did feel a bit nauseous while descending in a spiral with the parachute... Also, it's cold, so warm clothing is essential.

高度4267メートルからのスカイダイビングでした。何もかもが初めての体験で、とても貴重していましたが、インストラクターはとてもフレンドリーで緊張をほぐしてくれました。途中飛行機のトラブルか何かでヘリコプターに変わりましたが、無事に怪我なく、飛ぶことができました。今までに経験したことのない最高の体験でした！ただパラシュートで旋回しながらおりる時は少し気持ち悪くなりました…後は寒いので防寒必須です。

This tour was amazing! Our tour guide Greg was unbelievably knowledgeable and so funny! All the stops were absolutely gorgeous! We would definitely do this again!!

I didn't understand the guide's (Kaz's) explanations well, and I was just dropped off at the sea and left to my own devices. I spoke with a woman who was also on the same tour, and none of us really understood what was going on. The horseback riding was very enjoyable. However, the casual way of speaking and the overall lack of professionalism made it an unsatisfactory tour. I recommend not participating.

ガイドさん(カズさん)の説明がよくわからず、適当に海に降ろされ、野放しにされました。
同じツアーに参加していた、女性の方とも話し、全員がよくわかっていませんでした。
乗馬はとても楽しかったです。
しかしタメ語で話しかけてくる感じや、全体的に雑で、満足なツアーになりませんでした。
参加しないことをおすすめします。

It was my sixth skydiving experience (first time in Hawaii), and it was amazing to see whales from the plane. My family was also thrilled after the jump. I definitely recommend it if you go to Hawaii!

６回目のスカイダイビング（ハワイは初めて）飛行機からクジラも見れて最高な時間でした家族も飛び終わった後は喜んでいました‍‍ ハワイに行ったら絶対お勧めします

We flew together as a couple ^_^. I was a little worried, but it was absolutely amazing! Supported by a strong instructor, we soared into the sky without hesitation! I became a bird without thinking about anything.

Don't expect a detailed explanation like in Japanese leisure activities; this is a self-responsibility leisure activity. You’ll be asked to sign many waivers, all in Japanese. I didn’t have time to read them, but I thought it wasn’t something to read thoroughly anyway.

Anyway, I highly recommend getting photos or videos! My husband ordered both photos and videos, while I just ordered photos! If you have an iPhone, they can send you the data via AirDrop on the spot. Definitely wear colorful clothing for the best visuals! ^_^ It’s cold at 4,200 meters, but there’s no time to feel cold! It gets hot once you land! Many people were flying in short sleeves. The instructors were dressed quite warmly, but everyone was colorful. ^_^

The Japanese guide at first seemed brusque, gave little explanation, and spoke in a commanding tone, which made me think, "What’s going on?" However, he turned out to be a deep and wise person with a rich life experience. I think opinions may vary, but it was definitely worth getting along with him! By the end, I was glad he was there! ^_^

We were grouped with a party of four women from Saga, and one of them was a wonderful girl who spoke English perfectly, so we became friends. After all, traveling is better with companions!

By trusting my body to the instructor and the flow of the wind, I was able to see the Earth from the sky. I removed my accessories, and my shoes were lace-ups, which made me feel secure. I was a bit worried they might come off since they looked like deck shoes, but it was fine.

On the return bus, a man who spun around when the parachute opened ended up getting sick, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious! Also, there seems to be a personal difference in how painful the ears can get. In either case, it takes time for the ears to return to normal.

If I get the chance again, I’ll wear colorful clothes, be mindful of the camera, and fly again! I’m so glad I did it! I was happy! Both my husband and I agreed! Thank you.

夫婦で飛びました^_^
すこーし心配してましたけど、
無茶苦茶良かった！屈強なインストラクターに支えられて躊躇する間もなく大空へ！
なーんにも考えず、鳥になりました。
説明が全部わからないし、日本のレジャーの説明を期待しちゃダメです。自己責任のレジャーです。沢山の誓約文にイニシャルサインを求められますが、全て日本語。読む暇なかったけど。笑
でも、きっちり読んでやることでもないなと。

ともかく、写真かビデオはおススメです！
うちは、夫が写真とビデオを。わたしは、写真だけを注文！その場でアイホンなら、エアードロップでデータくれます。
ポイントは是非ともカラフルな服装で臨まれるべし^_^。絵的にそれがいい！
高度4200メートルはそら寒いけど、寒がってる暇もない！降りたら暑いから！
半袖で飛んでる人多数。インストラクターさんは結構厚着やったけど、みんなカラフルでした。^_^

日本人ガイドのおじいちゃんは、はじめ、ぶっきらぼうだし、説明少ないし、命令口調だし、な。なんなの！と、思いましたが、なかなか深みのある人生の大先輩で、好き嫌いあるかなと思いますが、仲良くしてもらって損は無し！最後は、この人居てくれてよかった！と、思いました^_^

佐賀から女子4人で参加してるグループと同じグループになって、その中の1人が英語バッチリのステキな女子だったので、彼女らとも仲良くなって、やっぱり旅は道連れ！

インストラクターさんに身体を預け、風の流れに身体を預け、それだけで、地球を自分の目で空から眺められました。
アクセサリーは外して、靴はひもぐつが。あんしんとおもいます。わたしは、デッキシューズぽくて。ぬげちゃうかなとちょっと気になってたけど。大丈夫でした。
帰りの送迎のバスで、パラシュート開いた時にくるくる回された男性が、ゲロゲロ吐いちゃって、、酔いやすい人は注意！寝不足も注意！
あと、耳はいたーーーーーくなる人と痛くなる人と個人差ある模様。どちらの場合も耳が元に戻るのに時間がかかります。笑

チャンスあれば、カラフルな服着て、カメラ目線意識して、また飛びます！
やれて良かった！幸せでした！
夫婦ともに同意見でした！感謝。

This was an amazing experience and exceeded our expectations
Highly recommend this to everyone
Views are fantastic
Staff are amazing
Will be back
VELTRA - is a great company to book through

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon in Hawaii for the first time.

At first, we were nervous and chose the lower plan, but during the explanation of the flight, we quickly switched to the higher plan. Since there was only a $30 difference and the drop time would be more than double, we decided to go for it.

In the end, it was a great decision! It was way scarier than roller coasters or bungee jumping! It was so much fun and became a lifelong memory.

The waiting time mentioned in the reviews might be around 3 hours, but we didn't really feel it because of the excitement, and the time to calm down was actually nice.

It was really fun!! Thank you very much!

ハネムーンの初ハワイで夫婦で参加しました。

最初は慄いて低い方のプランにしましたが
飛ぶ説明の際に高い方に急遽変更。
$30しか変わらないのに
落ちる時間が倍以上になるなら、と。

結果。変更して良かったです！
ジェットコースターやバンジージャンプの方がよっぽど怖いくらいです！
楽しすぎたて一生の思い出になりました。

口コミに書いてある待ち時間は3時間くらいになるかもしれませんが、
ドキドキであんまり体感はなく
逆に落ち着ける時間が良かったです。

ホント楽しかった！！
ありがとうございました！

My first skydiving experience was amazing. The waiting time before it started was filled with tension and anxiety, but once it began, everything progressed smoothly without any waiting.

One downside was that the Japanese instructor who drove us to and from the location was quite a character and funny, but their driving was rough, which made me feel car sick and fearful of an accident.

Other than that, everything was fun. We didn't hire a photographer, but seeing others with one made me think that maybe we should have.

人生初のスカイダイビングは最高でした。始まるまでの待機時間は緊張と不安がおおかったですけど始まってからは待つことなくたんたんと進んでいきました。
少し残念だったのが行きと帰りの送迎の日本人インストラクターの方が個性的な人で面白かったですが運転が荒く車酔いや事故の恐怖が大きかったです。
それ以外は全部楽しかったです。
自分たちはカメラマンを頼みませんでしたが頼んでる人をみたら頼めばよかったかなと思いました。
