All Reviews for North Shore, Oahu

I had the image of a staff member leading each horse for a walk, but instead, it was really nice to see them trotting along freely.

1人ずつ係りの人が馬を引いて散歩するイメージがありますが、それではなくパカパカとお散歩する感じがとても良かったです。

I arrived a little late to the meeting place, but it was a lot of fun. The main purpose was horseback riding, but I was also able to stroll around the town of Haleiwa (the garlic chicken was delicious). Although I didn't see any turtles due to the season, I was excited to see a seal during the horseback riding. The horses are cute and gentle, making it a great option for beginners.

待ち合わせ場所には少し遅れて迎えがきましたが、とても楽しかったです。
目的は、乗馬でしたがハレイワの街を散策出来たり（フリフリチキンが美味しかったです。）時期的にカメはお目にかかれませでしたが乗馬の時にアザラシがいてテンション上がりました。馬も可愛いし、おとなしいので初心者にもオススメです。

I was worried that I couldn't participate because I forgot to copy the voucher, but when I informed the staff on-site, they assured me it was okay, and I was able to join!

It was my first time horseback riding for 2 hours, but the staff was kind and taught me well, so I had a great time on the movie course! I think it would be twice as fun for those who have seen the movie, haha. Since I hadn't watched it much, I felt a bit confused even when they explained things.

I boarded the bus from the Sheraton bus stop, but the bus was about 15 minutes late, and I was quite worried that I might have missed it.

バウチャーをコピーし忘れて、参加できないかと不安になりましたが、
忘れた旨を現地窓口の方に伝えたら、大丈夫とのお返事を頂き参加できました〜

2h乗馬するのは初めてでしたが、係りの方も親切に教えてくださり、楽しく映画コースを回れました！
映画観てた人だと2倍くらい楽しいと思います 笑 あまり観てなかったから、説明されても ？って感じでした

シェラトンのバス乗り場から乗りましたが、15分くらいバスが遅れていて、乗りそびれたのでは？と結構心配になりました〜

This was on my bucket list, and definitely worth the wait!!! If I ever get back to North Shore, I will definitely be doing this again!! The crew was awesome!! So friendly, and willing to help whether someone needed help or had a question. Mahalo!

This is the tour for people who like to be on there own once they get there. This is broken into two parts morning activity and afternoon activity. You have a fully narrated ride over to the North Shore telling you virtually everything about the island. Also all landmarks are pointed out. You arrive get snacks if needed. You are then dropped off at your first activity. The falls etc. Pk up time is set you meet back at bus and your off to bike,kayak,shop or lunch or whatever. Your pk up time is set for your hassle free ride back to waikiki. All fully narrated back. Worth every penny. AC was our guide and knew everything about the island. Was the highlight of our trip.

There were more sharks than I expected, haha. However, it was a bit disappointing that the seawater was slightly murky due to heavy rain the day before. That said, it was an issue unrelated to the tour, and since it was my first experience with the tour, it turned out to be a great experience!

予想していたよりもサメがうようよいてました笑
ただ前日まで豪雨だったので海水が若干濁り気味だったのが残念でした。
とは言ってもツアーとは関係ない問題で、ツアー自体は初めての経験だったので良い経験になりました！

It takes about two hours to get to Gunstock Ranch by taking The Bus number 55 from Ala Moana. After passing by Kualoa Ranch, you will find Gunstock Ranch further ahead. There is only a sign along the road, so I almost missed the bus stop at Kamehameha Hwy + Opp 56-155. After getting off the bus and walking down the road marked by the sign, I arrived at Gunstock Ranch, where I could hear cheerful voices from a children's swimming class.

I arrived quite a bit earlier than the check-in time, so I spent some time playing with the horses and goats. After listening to the safety instructions, I decided not to wear a helmet and signed a separate waiver form. About 30 minutes into the horseback riding, we reached a hill where we could see the surrounding scenery, and Grace and Chad, who guided us, took some photos for us. The staff were very friendly and helped my mother, who doesn't understand English at all and is inexperienced with horseback riding, feel comfortable. I had a fulfilling two hours riding along a path covered with jungle-like trees on a very friendly horse, an experience I don't usually get to enjoy. I definitely want to visit again.

アラモアナから55番のThe Busに乗ること約2時間、クアロア牧場を通り過ぎ、さらに行ったその先にGunstock Ranchがあります。道路沿いからは看板が立っているだけなので、バス停である、Kamehameha Hwy + Opp 56-155 というバス停をあわや見逃しそうに・・・　バスから降り、看板が立っている道を奥に進んでいくと、子供のスイミング教室から楽しそうな声が聞こえるGunstock Ranchにたどり着きました。
受付時間よりだいぶ早く着いてしまったので、馬やヤギと戯れながら時間を潰し、注意事項などを聞いて、私はヘルメットをかぶらないことにしたので、別途既定の用紙へサインをしました。乗馬を開始すること30分、あたりの景色を一望出来る丘の上にたどり着き、案内をしてくれたGraceとChadに写真を撮ってもらいました。とっても気さくなスタッフの方々で、英語が全くわからず乗馬にも不慣れな私の母をしっかりとリードしてくれました。ジャングルのような木々に覆われた道をとてもフレンドリーな馬と進む、普段味わえない充実した2時間を過ごすことができました。またぜひ訪れたいと思います。

Despite the rain, I was able to enjoy horseback riding and the scenery very much. I also enjoyed the atmosphere of Jurassic Park, which was great.

雨の中でしたが、とても気持ちよく乗馬と景色を楽しむことが出来ました。
ジュラシックパークの雰囲気も楽しめてとてもよかったです。

The guide took us to unusual places that were just what we were looking for. Sean spent the day making sure we had the best experience ever.

It was my first time riding a horse, but the horse was very calm, and even beginners could enjoy it. The riding course along the coast had beautiful scenery, and I was very satisfied.

The only disappointing part was the guide. Although he was a Japanese person who had lived in Hawaii for a long time, he forgot our group during the hotel pickup that morning and left without us. We had to call the hotel we were staying at, and finally, he came back to pick us up. However, his apology felt insincere, and he seemed to have no bad intentions, which made us feel bad for the other tour guests who were with us. That was the only disappointing part.

乗馬は初めてでしたが、とてもおとなしく初心者でも楽しむことができました。また、乗馬コースも海沿いでとてもきれいな景色で満足でした。
ひとつだけ残念だったのが、ガイドさんです。ハワイに長く住む日本人の方でしたが、当日朝のホテルピックアップの時点で私たちのグループだけ忘れられていて、ピックアップされず先に進んでしまったそうです。泊まっていたホテルの方に電話してもらい、ようやく車に戻ってきてもらうことができました。しかし、謝り方も適当で悪気ない様子で、逆に私たち方が同乗していた他のツアー客の方に悪いと感じてしまうようでした。そこだけが残念でした。

What an incredible experience! We got to see % sharks and they continued to swarm the cage the whole time! The crew were great! Super nice, very knowledgeable and informative. Made sure we had a great experience, My 8 & 11 year old sons loved it! Perfect for the kids! It was one of the highlights of our trip!

This was my second time skydiving, and it was just as amazing as the first! Since I knew what to expect, I felt a bit more excitement than during my first jump. On the day of the jump, the weather was bad in the morning, with a downpour and it was cold, but after waiting, we were able to jump. While ascending in the helicopter, I saw a big rainbow, and it made the rain worth it. It was a really great experience! I was completely fine during my first jump, but this time I felt a bit nauseous, so I wished I had brought some motion sickness medication.

今回2度目のスカイダイビングでしたが、やっぱり最高です！
どうやるか分かってる為、ドキドキ感は1回目よりあった気がきます。
当日朝天気が悪く、スコールが降り寒かったのですが、待ちに待って、飛ぶ事ができました。
ヘリ？で登ってるときに、おっきい虹が見れて雨が降った甲斐があったなーと、、
とても、いい体験になりました！
私は一回目は全然平気だったのですが、今回少し酔った気がしたので酔い止めあったらよかったなと思いました。

I drove from Honolulu.
The entrance is easy to find because there are signs.

You can take a leisurely horseback ride along the beach, and the photos turned out great with the ocean as the backdrop.
This is my third time horseback riding in Hawaii, but if you want to ride by the beach, this is the best place to go!
I apologize for sharing my experience a year later. I will make a reservation next month!

ホノルルから車で行きました。
看板があるので入口は分かりやすいです。

海辺をゆっくり乗馬しながら散歩でき、写真もとってもいい感じに、海をバッグに撮っていただけました。
ハワイの乗馬いくのはここで、3こめですが海辺を乗馬したいなら一番おすすめです！
体験談一年後になりごめんなさい。来月予約します！

Did the same dive with One Ocean last year and was so impressed I had to do this again. This time, the sharks were even more curious as to our presence and came up quite close to us at 4-5 feet distance on some pass bys. Got some incredible 4K video on the footage. Sophie and Kevin were very enthusiastic about their work and Sophie’s passion for researching sharks really shows, giving everyone information about what we saw in he water with specific characteristics and personalities of certain sharks that they frequently see. Thanks again to Sophie and Kevin and see you guys for the 3rd time hopefully soon!

Part 2 of things I want to try in life! I flew with my 18-year-old son. It was amazing. A memory I will never forget. Hawaii is a place where dreams come true! I will work hard every day so I can come back soon. Thank you for helping me realize my dreams.

人生やってみたいことのパート2！18歳になった息子と
飛んでみました。サイコーです。一生忘れない思い出です。ハワイは夢を叶える場所！またすぐ戻ってこれるよう、毎日頑張ってはたらきまーす。
夢実現のお手伝いをありがとうございました

It was my first skydiving experience with my two daughters. My daughter was feeling anxious, but thanks to the staff's excellent guidance, she was able to relax and said it was the best experience. The photos turned out great, and we were satisfied. However, it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't get a video. We left something in the car on the way back, but we were able to contact them right away, and they brought it to the pickup location, which was a great help. My daughter said she would love to do it again as many times as possible if given the chance. Thank you very much!

娘２人と初めてのスカイダイビングでした。娘が不安がっていましたがスタッフの方がうまく誘導してくれたおかげでリラックスできたようで最高の体験が出来たと喜んでいました。
写真も上手く撮れていて満足でした。ただムービーが撮れていなかったので少し残念でした。
帰りの車で忘れ物をしましたが、すぐに連絡がつきピックアップ場所まで持ってきてくださり助かりました。
機会があれば何回でもしたいと娘が言っていました。
ありがとうございました、

Finally... I was taken to a souvenir shop for black coral???

The worst!!

Everyone who participated came out empty-handed.

What was that???

You must be getting a rebate from the souvenir shop, right??

Is it the company??? Or the individual who took us there!!

As a business owner, I understand everything. (This is my advice)

I always use your company.

Next time, if there are no issues like this, I will use you again!!

最後に・・・黒サンゴ？？？のお土産屋さんに連れていかれた！！

最悪！！

参加した人が全員手ぶらで出て来ました。


あれは？？？

お土産さんからリベート頂いてますよね！！

会社か？？？連れてった個人がね！！


私は経営者だからすべてわかります。（私からのアドバイスです）

いつも貴社を使わして頂いてます。

次回は？？？こんな事がなければ使いますけどね！！

We had a two-hour horseback riding course starting at 8 AM, and the ranch was still quiet with just six of us setting off. The horses were all calm, occasionally munching on grass, but we felt safe riding up hills and crossing rivers. The mountains were shrouded in mist, and we spent a precious two hours slowly taking in the magnificent scenery, feeling as if we had stepped into a Jurassic Park movie. I was extremely satisfied!

朝8時から2時間の乗馬コース、牧場内はまだ静かで6人での出発でした。馬達はみんな静かで時々草を食べてしまう事もありましたが、坂道も川も安心して乗っていられました。
山には靄がかかり雄大な景色をゆっくり眺めながらジェラシックパークの映画の中に入り込んだような貴重な2時間を過ごしました。
大満足でした！

We just wanted to get out of Waikiki for half a day and this was the perfect tour. Jarod our tour guide was 100% local and had so much interesting local knowledge to impart. Took us to some great locations. Only thing I would say was a slight negative was that the jeep is probably not that comfortable for 4 adults. Initially it was just my partner and myself and we were so excited but then picked up another 2 males - so was fairly crammed in back seat. Would have liked it to be topless as well.

What a totally enjoyable day. Well worth it. I recommend getting the group guided tour inside the Center to save time and get a better experience.

Compared to some ranches, there are hardly any Japanese people, and if you're okay with only English, I highly recommend it! The location is North Shore, just a few minutes by car from Giovanni's. After the activities, you can enjoy sightseeing in Haleiwa and also try garlic shrimp, so definitely go for it!

某牧場と比べて、日本人はほぼいないし、英語のみでも大丈夫なら非常にオススメです！場所はノースショア、ジョバンニから車で数分です。アクティビティ後にハレイワ観光、ガーリックシュリンプも楽しめるので是非！

This is wonderful! Even though it started raining halfway through the ride, we continued and it was just amazing! I hadn’t ridden since I was a child, so I was very happy with the gentle horse they gave me.

The hotel pickup and the explanation of skydiving were provided in Japanese, which was very clear and helpful. I really enjoyed the skydiving; it was very thrilling.

ホテルのピックアップもスカイダイビングの説明も日本語でしていただき、大変わかりやすく良かったです。
スカイダイビングもとてもスリリングで楽しみました。

I participated with my mother, and it was incredibly fun. The pickup location was very crowded with various departing guests, and after waiting for 20 minutes thinking the driver would arrive soon, I ended up calling and finally met the driver. It was my mistake not to notice that they were calling for me; I should have called after 10 minutes as it suggested. I ended up inconveniencing the other guests who were waiting on the bus. The driver seemed to be searching hard for me, and when we met, he greeted me with a smile, which made me very happy. Even if you're away from the pickup spot, you should immediately check if a flashy van stops, as "ZIP-LINE" is written in large letters on the vehicle. On the way, I enjoyed the coastal scenery, delicious bananas, tomatoes, and macadamia nuts that I cracked open myself. The zip line experience included climbing and descending on a rope bridge, going in various directions, and I absolutely recommend it!

母と親子参加、最高に楽しかったです。
ピックアップの場所が様々出発される方で大混雑、もうすぐ来るかと２０分経ち結局電話をかけやっとドライバーさんに会えました。
呼んでくれていたのに気づかなかった私のミス、１０分経っても来なかったら電話と書いてあるのでそうすべきでした。
バスで待たされた他の方に迷惑をかけてしまいました。
ドライバーさんは一生懸命探してくれていたようで、会った時は笑顔で迎えてくれとても嬉しかったです。
ピックアップ場所から離れていても派手なバンが止まったら即確認すべきです、車体には大きくZIP-LINEと書いてあります。
到着までも海沿いの景色を楽しみ、美味しいバナナ、トマト、自分で割って食べるマカダミアナッツ、つり橋にロープでの昇り降り、長短、後ろ向き、逆さでのジップライン体験、絶対におすすめ！！

I was very satisfied to finally be able to go skydiving, which I had always wanted to try. The time spent was long, but the experience was so incredible that I forgot about it.

ずっとしてみたかったスカイダイビングをすることができて大満足です。拘束時間は長いですが、そのことを忘れるほどの体験ができました。

My first skydiving experience was exhilarating! The view was beautiful, and the refreshing feeling blew away my worries! There were staff members who spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease. I want to do it again!

初めてのスカイダイビング、爽快でした！
景色も綺麗で悩みも吹っ飛ぶ爽快感！
日本語が話せるスタッフの方もみえたので安心でした。
またやりたいです！

The video description in Japanese mentions that helmets are provided for free, and water bottles can be placed in the saddlebag. Throughout the ride, a local horse staff member accompanied us, opening gates along the way, but there was no guidance about filming or any other information provided. The horse guidance was limited to simple Japanese commands like "right" and "left." The handling of the horses was professional, so I felt safe; the horse I rode followed the one in front, so as long as we avoided distractions, everything was fine. It's suitable for beginners as well.

It's recommended to wear long sleeves and long pants. If your pants ride up while mounting, high socks are advisable. Soft, loose-fitting fabric for pants is also recommended. I enjoyed the views of the mountains, grasslands, and ocean in Hawaii.

日本語のビデオ説明、ヘルメット着用(無料貸出)、サドルバックにペットボトルの水などがいれられました。
出発から終わりまで、現地の馬のスタッフがひとりついてくれて途中のゲートを開けたりしてくれましたが、ここでこんな撮影がありました、などのガイドは一切無しでした。
馬の誘導も片言の日本語で右ー、左ー、という位でした。馬の扱いはプロだったので安心、乗る馬は前の馬に着いていくので、道草だけさせなければ大丈夫です。初心者でもオッケー。
長袖長ズボン。またがってズボンの裾が上がる場合はハイソックスがおすすめです。
ズボンは柔らかい生地、ゆったりめかおすすめです。
ハワイの山と草原、海を見れて楽しめました

Until the parachute opened, I experienced the wind, and after it opened, I enjoyed the scenery without any fear at all. The instructor was cheerful and friendly, which really boosted my spirits. I received a lot of help from VELTRA. Even though I made some unreasonable requests, like changing my schedule and asking for the video after returning home, I received polite responses every time, for which I am very grateful. Looking at the photos and videos reminds me of Hawaii, and I've decided to go again next time.

パラシュートが開くまでは風を体感し、開いてからは景色を楽しみ、恐怖は全くなかったです。
インストラクターは明るく気さくで気分を盛り上げてくれました。
VELTRAさんにはかなりお世話になりました。日程変更、帰国してからビデオ欲しくなったから送ってほしいなど無理なお願いをいくつかしてしまったにもかかわらず、毎回丁寧な返事をいただき、感謝感謝です。
写真、ビデオを見てはハワイを思い出し、次回もまた行こうと決めました。

This is a great place to learn about all the Polynesian islands aside from Hawaii. The only thing .. I would've liked for my son to have had more of a hands on experience with the different activities the center offers within each island. We had the ambassador pass and the tour took us quickly from island to island not really giving us a chance to engage in the activities. Or maybe I just thought it would be like the experience I had when I visited back in 2003. Regardless, the night show, Ha .. the breath of life, is a fantastic way to close anyone's night with a memory that will be treasured for a lifetime.

The experience at an altitude of 4,000 meters, which is quite rare, was absolutely amazing. The sounds of ascending into the sky and the vibrations heightened my excitement; it was truly wonderful. However, there was one issue: I could hardly speak any English, and the instructor didn't speak Japanese, so we couldn't communicate at all. I believe that if I had understood more English and could have talked during the dive, it would have been an even more fantastic experience.

なかなか体験出来ない高度４０００メートルはとても最高でした。
空へ上る音や揺れも、緊張度を高めてくれる、素晴らしいものでした。
ただ、一点だけ、自分が英語をほとんど話せず、インストラクターの方が日本語を話せないので、全くコミュニケーションが取れませんでした。
きっと、英語をもっと理解して、飛んでいる最中もお話出来たら、もっと素敵なダイビングだったと思いました。
