All Reviews for North Shore, Oahu

The main purpose of this trip to Hawaii was to go skydiving. I participated alone, but my excitement outweighed my anxiety, and I had high expectations even before the departure. The weather was clear on the day, and the views were amazing! The dive exceeded my expectations. My tandem partner Connor and the photographer Kira were both fantastic! I also had a great conversation with the driver during the transfer, which made me very satisfied! I definitely want to experience this again!

今回のハワイ旅行の一番の目的がスカイダイビングをする事でした。一人での参加でしたが不安よりワクワク感の方が大きく出発前から期待してました。当日は晴れて景色も最高！期待以上のダイビングでした。タンデムのConnor 、撮影してくれたKira　二人ともサイコー♡　送迎のドライバーとも楽しい会話ができて大満足です！また絶対体験したいと思います♪　

I had been to North Shore and Haleiwa before, but this time I spent my time without renting a car, so I joined this tour. I had heard about Happy Trails from a friend beforehand, so I chose the canyon course.

I was able to thoroughly enjoy riding on the mountain paths with ups and downs, and above all, I was impressed by the intelligence of the horses! I learned various guiding techniques before riding, and although I was initially nervous about the leading part, I gradually relaxed and was able to enjoy the scenery. The weather was great, and the view of the ocean from the hill was amazing!!

I also had plenty of time to enjoy myself in Dole and Haleiwa!

ノースショア、ハレイワなどには行ったことがありましたが、
今回はレンタカーを借りずに過ごしたのでこちらのツアーに参加し、
友人から事前にハッピートレイルさんの話をきいていたので、
渓谷コースを選びました。

登り下りの有る山道をしっかりと乗馬しながら満喫することができたし、
何よりも馬たちの賢さに感動！
乗馬前に色々ガイドの仕方を習いましたが、
その一歩先行く先導っぷりに、最初は緊張していましたが、
徐々にリラックスして景色も楽しめるようになりました。
お天気がよかったし、丘からの海の景色は最高でした！！

ドール、ハレイワでの自由時間もゆとりがあって充分満喫できました！

素晴らしい体験ができました。期待通りでした。エマは私たちにとても親切なガイドでしたが、私たちは初めての乗馬でした。キアヌはすぐにまた来たいと言っています！ありがとう。

大きなマハロ。

Had great experience as same with expected. Emma is very kind guide to us although we were the first horsebacK riders.
Kianu wants to come back again very soon!!
Thanx

I signed up at the invitation of my wife. At first, I thought, "Horseback riding in Hawaii?" but exploring the undulating course on horseback turned out to be an unexpectedly enjoyable experience. It lasted about 40-50 minutes and went by in a flash. The horses, originally trained for polo, were very well-behaved, and even small children seemed to be having a great time riding them. I can guarantee it will be a fun experience.

妻に誘われて申し込みました．最初は，ハワイで乗馬？と思っていましたが，起伏に富んだコースを馬に乗ってめぐるのは予想外の楽しい体験でした．40-50分？あっという間でした．もともとがポロ競技の馬とのことで，とてもよくしつけられており，小さいお子さんんも楽しそうに乗っていました．楽しい経験になること請け合いです．

The whole trip to the Polynesian Center was a great experience and it’s worth what includes. It’s a most to see every time you visit Hawaii.

It was a bit delayed until we got on the first horse, overlapping with other reservation groups, but the explanations in Japanese were helpful, so there were no issues. Once we started riding, the scenery that you can't experience in Japan was amazing. My horse was a bit stubborn, but that too became a good memory.

最初の馬に乗るまでが、他の予約グループとかぶりやや遅れましたが
日本語の説明もあり、問題なかったです。
乗馬スタートしてから、日本では味わえない景色等で最高でした
自分の馬がややわがままな子でしたが、それも良い思い出です。

The half-day tour of Oahu included visits to Kailua, the North Shore, the Moanalua Gardens (the tree of life), and the Dole Plantation, which felt repetitive and led to a poor choice. The Polynesian Cultural Center was great as it offered an efficient tour led by Japanese students. The night show was impressive, especially the final fire dance, but the guide repeatedly emphasized the return bus time, causing several people to leave for the restroom before it ended. Since the departure wouldn't happen until everyone was present, I wished they had explained that we could enjoy the show without worrying about the restroom. Additionally, I had booked a deluxe seat in the front, but for some reason, I ended up in a seat at the back, so I rated my experience as unsatisfactory.

オアフ島の半日観光はカイルア、ノースショア観光とモアルナガーデン（この木なんの木）、ドールプランテーションの見学がダブってしまい選択ミスをしてしまいました。
ポリネシア文化センターは日本人学生によるセンター内の見学ツアーで効率的にまわれてよかったです。ナイトショーは最後のファイアーダンスは迫力があり良かったのですが、ガイドさんが帰りのバスの時間を何度も念を押すので、最後まで見ないでトイレに行く人が何人もいました。
全員揃うまで出発はしないのだから、トイレを気にすることなく最後まで見るよう説明して欲しかったです。
また、自分が申し込んだ席は前方のデラックスのはずでしたが、なぜか後方の席でしたので評価は不満としました。

It was raining but with Ernell that day was a wonderfull day.

I applied for the tour hoping to see sharks. When I actually got on the boat, there was a guarantee of a 100% encounter with sharks.

When we arrived at the shark spot, there were tons of them. So I was very satisfied.

Even though they are sharks, they are calm and don't bump into the cage. You can observe them quietly and thoroughly.

サメが見れたらいいなぁなんて思いでツアーに応募。
実際の船に乗ったら100％サメとの遭遇を保証なんて記述が。

サメスポットに到着するとうじゃうじゃいます。
なので大満足です。

サメと言ってもおとなしくてケージにゴンゴン来たりしません。
おとなしくてじっくり見れます。

Originally, it was supposed to be an experience with my daughter, but she fell ill on the day, so I participated alone. The driver and guide were experienced, making the ride enjoyable. First, I visited the Dole Plantation for the first time in ten years. After about 30 minutes of sightseeing, we went to the beach where we hoped to see honu (turtles). Unfortunately, they weren't on the shore, but they were nearby, coming up for air. Then, we headed to Haleiwa. I had originally planned to have garlic shrimp for lunch, but since I was alone, I switched to an acai bowl, which was delicious. Finally, we went for the horseback riding experience. With the experienced guide leading us, we walked slowly in a line, two meters apart. The ocean was beautiful, and I had a fulfilling time. On the day, there were four participants, and since the roads were clear, we had some free time in Haleiwa on the way back. Then, we headed to Honolulu. It was a very fulfilling tour.

本来なら娘と2人での体験でしたが、当日体調不良になり、私1人での参加になりました。運転兼ガイドさんの説明も慣れており、楽しい車中になりました。まず、ドールプランテーションに10年ぶりに行きました。30分ほど見学し、その後、ホヌ(亀)が居るかもしれない海岸に残念ながら浜辺にはいませんでしたが、すぐ近くにいて、息継ぎに顔をあげます。そして、ハイレアへ。本来ならガーリックシュリンプの昼食を考えていましたが、1人参加になってしまったので、アサイーボウルに変更。美味しかったです。そして、いよいよ乗馬体験へ。慣れたガイドさんを先頭に2メートル間隔でゆっくり歩きます。海が綺麗で充実した時間を過ごすことができました。当日、体験者が4人と道路が空いていたので帰路にも、ハイレアで自由時間がありました。そして、ホノルルへ。とっても充実したツアーでした。

I had a two-hour horseback riding experience. At first, I felt a bit scared because I wasn't used to it, but gradually I got accustomed and was able to take in the scenery around me. However, after riding for two hours, my backside started to hurt, and I realized how challenging horseback riding can be.

２時間の乗馬体験をしました。
始めは、慣れてないので、怖いくらいに感じましたが、次第に慣れて周りの景色を見る余裕ができました。が２時間乗っているというお尻が痛くなり、乗馬の大変さもわかりました。

I was actually planning to go skydiving, but I had to change to a shark tour at the last minute due to military training.

I've been to Hawaii several times, and every time I think about doing a shark tour, but I always put it off because of time constraints.

But I'm glad I was able to do it this time. It was a bit disappointing that I got slightly seasick from drinking too much the night before.

Anyway, I was thrilled to see the sharks up close. I think I would have been even more excited if there were man-eating sharks!

本当はスカイダイビングをやる予定だったのですが軍の訓練の為シャークツアーに急遽変更

ハワイにはもう何度も行ってるのですが毎回シャークツアーやろうと思いつつ時間の関係で後回しに

でも今回やれてよかったです
前日飲み過ぎて若干船酔いしてしまったのが残念すぎでした

とにかく間近に見れて興奮しました。人食いサメとかいたらもっと興奮したと思います

It was absolutely amazing.
I feel like anyone can easily dive here.
If you're thinking about trying it, you definitely should go for it!!
The scenery was also fantastic.

最高に気持ちよかったです。
誰でも気軽にＤＩＶＥできるって気がします。
やってみたいって人は絶対飛んだほうがいいです！！
景色も最高でした。

All staff was very friendly and helpful. The Ha, Breath of life show was very entertaining. I felt that I understood the story line better because I read the playbill before the show started. The other presentations were also very entertaining and educational.

One point about the luau buffet, my girlfriend is very allergic to coconut. So I asked an employee if there was anything on the buffet that had coconut. She went back to check on a board in the back and assured me there was no coconut in any item.
My girlfriend said she tasted a little coconut in the frosting of the cake so did not finish it. She is OK, and did not have any reaction.

In the morning, I was picked up at 8:25, but my daughter, who was supposed to accompany me, fell ill, so I participated alone. First, after about 15 years, I wandered around the Dole Pineapple Plantation for 30 minutes. Before heading to Haleiwa, I went to a beach where I might see honu (turtles). Unfortunately, I only saw honu coming up for air, but it was exciting to encounter them up close. Now, at Haleiwa, I had planned to eat garlic shrimp, but since I was alone, I changed to an acai bowl. As expected, it was delicious. Finally, it was time for the horseback riding experience. The horse I rode was well-trained and calm, but it seemed to be hungry and munched on the grass beside us. However, when I gave the go-ahead, it started walking slowly. It was a fulfilling 45-minute horseback riding experience. On the way to and from, I spotted honu from the car on the coast. Since the road was clear, we were able to take some time in Haleiwa on the way back. I had a wonderful experience until the evening.

朝、8:25にピックアップでしたが、同行するはずの娘が体調不良になり、1人での参加となりました。まずは、15年ぶり？に、ドールパイナップルプランテーションで30分フラフラ。ハイレアに向かう前にホヌさん(亀さん)いるかも知れない海岸へ、残念ながら息継ぎをするホヌさんしか見えませんでしたが、近距離での遭遇。なんだか、ワクワクしました。さて、ハイレアでは、ガーリックシュリンプを食べる予定でしたが、1人では無理なので、アサイーボウルに変更。言わずと知れた美味しさ。そして、いよいよ今回のイベント乗馬体験です。慣れたお馬さんはお利口でおとなしく、途中、お腹すいている時間だったらしく、横の草をむしゃむしゃ。しかし、GOサインを出すと、ゆっくり歩き出します。充実した45分の乗馬体験でした。行き帰り共、海岸にいる、ホヌさんを車上から確認しました。道が空いていたので帰路にもハイレアで時間を取ってくださいました。夕方までとても良い体験ができました。

I never thought I would go skydiving in my lifetime, but unexpectedly experienced it on my honeymoon. Once you're on the Cessna, there's nothing left to do but jump out. The quick aerial stroll became an invaluable memory. While it mentions to bring less cash, there are lockers available, so it's better to bring plenty of tips for the instructors and photographers.

スカイダイビングは生涯することないと思ってたのに、まさかのハネムーンで体験。セスナに乗ってしまえば、あとは飛び降りるしかない。あっという間の空中散歩はかけがえのない思い出となりました。少なめの現金、とありますが、ロッカーあるのでインストラクターやカメラマンに渡すチップをしっかりたっぷり持って行った方が良いです。

I made a reservation for what I thought would be my first and last activity. Last year, it was canceled due to bad weather, but this year I was able to fly!

As mentioned in the reviews, we had to fill out a consent form on the shuttle bus. I was originally worried about getting motion sickness, and unfortunately, I was right. I experienced continuous nausea... At one point, I even considered giving up on flying.

Once we arrived, we started in groups of about six, so we had to wait for about an hour after arriving. Depending on the number of participants, there was time to fill out the consent form after arrival, which made me a little irritated since I was already feeling unwell.

Fortunately, by the time we started, I had recovered enough to go. At first, I felt a mix of excitement and fear, but while flying, there were some dizzying turns, and by the time we returned to the ground, I felt groggy again...

Since I had decided this would be my first and last time, I purchased both 35 photos and a video. I’m glad I did because my memories of the flight are a bit hazy.

Photos & video: $240
Instructor: $20
Cameraman: $20
Driver: $10 to $20

If you have a weak vestibular system, please be prepared for the experience.

人生最初で最後のアクティビティーと思い予約しました。
去年は天候不良でキャンセルとなりましたが、今年は翔べました！

口コミでもあったように、同意書を送迎バスの中で書かされるのですが、
わたしは、もともと酔いやすく嫌だナァーと思っていたのでが、
やはり駄目でした。リバースの連続。。。
今回は翔ぶことをあきらめようかと思うくらい。
現地に到着してからは、6名ずつくらい順番にスタートするので、
到着後、約1時間くらいは待たせれます。
参加人数にもよりますが、到着後に同意書を書く時間があり、
気分悪くさせられたことに、ちょっとだけイライラしました。

おかげさまでスタートするまでに体調が回復し、スタートできました。
最初は、わくわく＆恐怖＆わくわくが続くのですが、
翔ぶとまた、酔う旋回があるので、地上に戻ってきた頃にはまたグロッキーな状態に。。。

わたしは、最初で最後と決めていたので写真35枚、ビデオの両方を購入しました。
翔んでいるときの記憶が定かではないので、購入してよかったと思っています。

写真＆ビデオ　240ドル
インストラクター　20ドル
カメラマン　　20ドル
ドライバー　　10ドル〜20ドル

三半規管が弱い方は、ある程度覚悟して体験してください。

It was my first time skydiving, and I think everyone should try it at least once because it's a sensation you can't experience in everyday life. The moment you jump is so high that there’s no fear at all. It doesn’t feel like a roller coaster, so even those who are not good with heights can do it!

Once the parachute opens, you get to enjoy floating in the air, and the instructor makes it fun by guiding you through descents and spins. Although it’s an early morning activity, I recommend the first tour of the day considering the weather, temperature, and crowds!

In Japan, skydiving without photos costs over 30,000 yen and the altitude is lower. In Hawaii, you can dive from 4,260 meters for around 20,000 yen, so I highly recommend it!

人生初のスカイダイビングでしたが、普段味わえない感覚ができ一度はやってみた方がいいと思います。
飛ぶ瞬間もあまりに高すぎて怖さは全くありませんでした。ジェットコースターのような浮く感じもなく苦手な方でもできると思います！
パラシュートが開いてからの空中遊泳もインストラクターの方が降下やぐるぐるまわしたりして楽しませてくれます。
朝は早いですが、天候や気温、混雑を考えると朝一のツアーがオススメです！
日本で飛ぶと撮影なしで３万以上するうえに高度も低いです。ハワイですと4260メートルからのダイブで２万前後なのでオススメです。

It was an amazing day, visiting culture of 6 islands in one place, learn their culture, know their traditions, eat their food, and the final show wooow!!! And KAP a complete artist!!! And the ambassadors (guides) incredible!!

Full day of very interesting activities. Excellent show at Polynesian Cultural Center.
I strongly recommend this tour to everyone with limited time on the island.

The staff were very fun, and I enjoyed the hamburger for lunch. It was a bit tough because it was cold, but I was really helped by the warm cocoa they provided. The bus ride back was very cold because I was still wet, so I wish I had brought a change of clothes or a towel. Even if my luggage increased, it wouldn't have been a problem since I could leave it on the boat. They also took a lot of photos, so I made some great memories!

スタッフの皆さんとても楽しい方で、ランチのハンバーガーも美味しく頂きました。寒かったのが少し辛かったですが、温かいココアを用意してくださりとても助かりました。帰りのバスは濡れたままでとても寒かったので、もう少し着替えやタオルを持っていけば良かったです。荷物増えても、どうせ船に置いておけれるので問題なかったなと、。
沢山写真も撮ってくださったので、良い思い出ができました！

I had more fun than I expected!
Everything was basically in English, but it was okay even if I didn't understand. There were three Japanese families participating in a different group, and it seemed like everyone was excited.

思った以上に楽しめました〜！
基本全て英語ですがわからなくても大丈夫でしたよ。日本人の家族も3組参加されて別のグループでしたがみなさん興奮されていた様です。

I was satisfied with the opportunity to enjoy the great nature of Kualoa. Since there is no galloping, I think even beginners can participate with confidence.

クアロアの大自然を堪能でき、満足でした。
駈足などしないので、乗馬初心者でも安心して参加できると思います。

The guide was very friendly and shared a lot of information about Hawaii, which was very educational. Riding was of course fun, but I was also able to see sea turtles, and the garlic shrimp lunch recommended by the guide was very delicious. If I had to say something, I was disappointed that there was little time for shopping.

ガイドさんがとてもフレンドリーでハワイの色々な事を話してくれてとても勉強になりました。乗馬はもちろん楽しかったのですが、ウミガメも見ることが出来たしガイドさんオススメのガーリックシュリンプのランチがとても美味しかったです。しいていえば買い物の時間が少なかったのが残念です。

I think this tour, which allows you to enjoy both horseback riding and sightseeing in Haleiwa, is a great deal. However, if the weather is bad, the course will change to the seaside route, so having sunny weather is the most important thing. This time, it was sunny with no issues; the only thing left was to avoid falling off the horse. I enjoyed about 90 minutes of horseback riding without any falls. PS. Am I the only one who feels that the taste of the garlic shrimp in Haleiwa has declined?

乗馬とハレイワ観光の両方ができるこのツアーはお得だと思います。でも天候が悪いと海辺コースに変更なるため、晴れる事が一番重要です。今回は晴れで問題なし、後は落馬をしない事だけです。落馬もなく約90分の乗馬を楽しみました。PS.ハレイワのガーリックシュリンプの味が落ちたと感じたのは私だけでしょうか？

Without a moment to feel fear, I jumped out, and then it was just a matter of falling as if swimming through the sky. It's a feeling that can't be compared to anything else. It's exhilarating. It's definitely worth trying at least once.

恐怖を感じる暇もなく飛び出し、後は空を泳ぐ様に落ちるだけ。他に例えようのない感じ。爽快です。一度はやってみる価値あり。

I signed up for a one-hour course!
In the magnificent scenery, the horse seemed to remember the path well and walked straight and calmly, which made me feel at ease ( ^ω^ ). However, it occasionally stopped to eat grass, which was amusing.
The instructions are given through a video, so I think it's fine even if you don't speak English!
I thought two hours might be a bit too long, so one hour was just right ( ^ω^ ).
If I had been riding for too long, my backside might have started to hurt... haha.
I really wanted to try horseback riding in Hawaii, so this is a wonderful memory for me ( ^ω^ ). By the way, I think if the weather is nice, exposed areas like arms can get sunburned easily, so it might be a good idea to apply sunscreen for peace of mind ( ^ω^ ).

1時間のコースに申し込みしました！
壮大な景色の中、馬もちゃんと道も覚えてるみたいで、まっすぐおとなしく歩いてくれるので、安心でした( ^ω^ )ただ、たまに草を食べたりなど、道草はします。笑
説明はビデオを見るので、英語ができなくても大丈夫だと思います！
2時間では少し長すぎかな〜と思ったので、1時間でちょうどよかったです( ^ω^ )
ずっと乗っていたら、お尻も痛くなりそうなので。。笑
ハワイで乗馬はしてみたかったので、とてもいい思い出です( ^ω^ )ちなみに、天気がいいと、腕など露出している部分はとても日焼けすると思うので、日焼け止め塗っていったほうが安心かなと思います( ^ω^ )

I participated in the tour for the first time! I was moved by how gracefully the sharks swam up close! I want to join again! I was very satisfied!

初めてツアーに参加しました！
サメが間近を優雅に泳いでいて、感動しました！
また参加したいです！大満足でした！

My wife and I participated in the tour with our daughter. Since we were there, we chose the two-hour course because it included movie filming locations and views of the ocean. However, after two hours, even though I had experience riding horses when I was younger, my backside started to hurt. It's funny, but for those with hemorrhoids, two hours might be tough. The horses are gentle, so even beginners can follow along without much issue. There were a few times when the horse stopped to eat grass, and I had to pull on the reins a bit harder. Aside from the pain in my backside, I was satisfied with the experience.

I experienced a height of over 4,000 meters for the first time while skydiving. It changed my perspective on life. The gentleman who provided the shuttle service from Pacific Skydiving School added a nice touch to the experience, which was great.

高度4,000メートル超えの体験を、初めてのスカイダイビングで経験しました。
