North Shore
it was a greats experience. At a certain point you have to realize that you have real sharks around you. This is something that I will definitely try again at my next visit in the area? be aware that the sea is not all the time calm and waves can bring you a different experience... Gravel could be mandatory
A must to do... Great
My 80-year-old father really wanted to go, so I participated alone. It seems that he visited the Polynesian Cultural Center during his first trip to Hawaii, and after many decades, he was very pleased to see how much it had changed. The grounds were beautiful, the theater was spacious, and the dance show was wonderful. However, he felt that the dinner buffet was somewhat lacking.
80歳になる父がどうしても行きたいというので独りで参加しました。
初めてハワイに行った際に訪れたようで何十年振りのポリネシアン文化センターはとても様変わりをしており、敷地内は綺麗で劇場も広くダンスショーも素晴らしかったととても喜んでました。ただ、夕食のバイキングは今一だったようです。

When I go to Hawaii, I always make sure to watch Polynesian dance. The prices here are reasonable, and you can have dinner and enjoy various experiences, making it a full day of fun. We used it for half a day, but we had a great time. However, it was a pity that photography was not allowed during the show.
ハワイに行くときは必ずポリネシアダンスを鑑賞しています。ここは価格も安く、晩ご飯も食べられ、様々な体験もすることができるので一日楽しめます。私達は半日での利用でしたが、十分に楽しめました。ただ、ショーの上演中は撮影ができないのが残念でした。

I participated after being recommended by an acquaintance I met before, and it was a lot of fun. Also, there are many places to stop by from Waikiki to here, so if you're going by rental car, you can enjoy a full day.
前に行った知り合いに勧められて参加しましたが、とても楽しかったです。又、ワイキキからここまでは立ち寄る所も多くレンタカーで行かれるなら一日満喫できます。

My first trip to Hawaii, and skydiving was the main event of my journey with my college-aged son. It was supposed to be scheduled for the day after our arrival, September 11. When we arrived at Honolulu Airport and checked my watch, it automatically adjusted to the local time. Little did I know, this was just the beginning of the mishaps...
The next morning, just before 6 AM, on my way back from getting breakfast, I spotted the skydiving van at the hotel entrance and thought, "Wow, they operate this early! I wonder where they go?" When I returned to the room and looked at the clock next to the bed, it showed 7:15 AM. The pickup was scheduled for 7:05 AM, so I rushed to the front desk and asked, "Is it already past 7? Is there no skydiving pickup?" Unfortunately, they had already left. I quickly called the number listed on the coupon from the front desk and was able to speak in Japanese with the driver who was picking up participants. I was informed that they were already heading to the airport and was advised to contact them to reschedule. I changed the date to the following day.
On September 12, the day of the skydiving, I was nervous but excitement prevailed. The plane climbed rapidly, spiraling at a steep angle, and before I knew it, we reached an altitude of over 4,200 meters. As soon as the engine slowed down, the door opened, and one by one, people jumped out without hesitation. I was the second to last to go. The cameraman clung to the outside of the exit, and as soon as I knelt down, the instructor behind me signaled, and I dove headfirst in a somersault. The only moment I felt scared was during the approximately three seconds it took to complete the flip. Once I spread my arms and legs and entered free fall, the fear disappeared. "What is this feeling? Is it pleasant?" No, it was "Incredibly amazing!" This sensation lasted for over a minute. Once we landed, I could immediately see my photos and video. Initially, I thought I would only buy the photos, but after watching the video, I found myself loosening my wallet.
On the way back to the hotel, the driver turned out to be the president of the diving center. Still buzzing with excitement, I expressed my desire to return and dive again someday by saying, "Thank you. See you next time." The president cheerfully replied, "See you tomorrow!!" He was a nice guy.
The DVD was edited with music, making it feel like a promotional video. I've converted it to MP4 and have watched it multiple times on my iPad and smartphone, dreaming of the next opportunity.
初めてのハワイ、スカイダイビングは大学生の息子との男二人旅のメインイベント。予定は到着の翌日9/11のハズでした。ホノルル空港に着いて腕時計を見ると、地元の電波で自動的に時間を指した。さすがハイテク機器と思ったのがハプニングの始まり・・・
翌朝AM6時前、朝食を買い出しに行った帰り、ホテルの玄関でスカイダイビングのバンを横目で見ながら、「こんな早朝でもあるんだ～。何処だろう？」と感心しながら部屋に戻ってベット脇の時計を見ると、なんとAM7:15を指している。ピックアップの予定はAM7:05、急いでフロントに駆けつけ「今、7時過ぎですか？ スカイダイビングのピックアップは居ませんか？」と聞くが出発した後だった。直ぐにフロントからクーポン券に記載の番号に電話をすると、ピックアップ中の運転手と日本語で話ができた。もう飛行場に向かっているので、参加できる日を連絡するようにと告げられ、翌日に変更をした。
9/12、スカイダイビング当日、緊張はしているが期待が勝っている。飛行機は急角度で螺旋を描きながら、アッと言う間に高度4200m以上に到達する。エンジンがスローになった途端、シャッタを開けて間髪を容れずに次々に飛び出していく。私は最後から二番目。カメラマンが出口の外にしがみつき、私が片膝をついた途端、後ろで繋がったインストラクターの合図で、前転する様に頭からダイブする。「怖い。」と感じたのは、1回転するまでの約3秒間だった。手足を広げて自由落下になると恐怖感が消えた。「何、この感じは？」「気持ち良い？」いや「チョー気持ち良いーーー!」この感覚が約1分以上続いた。地上に降りると直ぐに自分の写真とビデオを見ることができます。ダイビングの前は写真だけと思っていたが、映像を見ると財布の紐が緩んでしまった。
ホテルまでの帰りのドライバーは、なんとダイビングセンターの社長でした。興奮が醒めない私は、またいつか戻ってきてダイブしたいという気持ちを込めて別れ際にThank you. See you next time. 社長の返答は See you tomorrow!!陽気なNice Guyでした。
DVDは音楽付きで編集されていて、まるでプロモーションビデオの様です。MP4に変換してiPadやスマホで何度も見ています。次の機会を夢見て。

I had been interested for a while, but this was my first time participating. It was better than I expected. I want to join another course next time.
以前より気になっていたが、今回が初めての参加。
想像以上に良かったです。
次回も別のコースで参加したいです。

I think it's natural for people to have different evaluations of a dance show, but for me, it felt neither good nor bad, just about what you would expect for the price. I was very disappointed with the dinner buffet because I was hoping for a wider variety of menu options, including desserts.
ダンスショーは人によって評価が異なることは当然だと思うが、私にとっては、可もなく不可もなく、値段相応かな・・・という感じを受けた。
夕食のビュッフェについては、もっと多くのメニュー(スイーツを含む)があることを期待していたため、大変ショックだった。

The Japanese guide on the bus gave us a tour of the streets of Hawaii, making the journey feel quick! After we arrived, there were plenty of attractions to enjoy until the evening show! The Japanese student guide was charming and knowledgeable, and I learned a lot. I was also happy to have the experience of hula dancing!
The show was simply breathtaking! It had more impact than any other show, and by the end, I was so moved that I even shed a few tears. I highly recommend it to people of all ages!
行きのバスから日本人ガイドの方がハワイの町並みを案内してくれたのであっという間の道のりでした！到着してからは夜のショーまではアトラクションがいっぱい！！！！日本人学生のガイドの方も愛嬌があり知識が豊富でいろいろと勉強になりました〜。フラの体験ができたのも嬉しかったです！
ショーは圧巻の一言！！迫力がどこのショーよりもあり、最後には感動し涙すら出ました。。どんな世代の人にもオススメします！

Loved loved loved it. Had a great day and the beach is beautiful there. The sunset was amazing
Love this the most we booked several activities this was a great way to end our trip a wonderful day at north shore YOLO
What an amazing outdoor experience! This hike is a must do if you'd like to get a better understanding of the hidden nature Hawaii has to offer. Our guides, Keola and Marcella, shared a wealth of knowledge and gave us an unforgettable and valuable tour of the forested region of Oahu. Some parts of the trail are strenuous, so be prepared with some good hiking shoes/boots and plenty of water. We also had the opportunity to taste the fruit the trail had to offer, simply delicious. I highly recommend trying this hike if you plan on visiting the North Shore.
I had visited Hawaii several times, but I hadn't had the chance to go recently... This time, I participated because it was a trip with my mother. We took a different route than usual and headed to the Polynesian Cultural Center☆ I was surprised by how many people were there! The buffet was just okay... (since we participated in the standard option). However, the show was moving!! As the sun set and the lights came on, it created a wonderful atmosphere. Watching the staff dance while sweating made the two hours fly by❤ I thought the night was better than during the day. I'm planning to come back to Hawaii next year, and I want to bring some friends with me then!
何度かハワイには訪れていましたが、なかなか行く機会がなくて・・・
今回は母親との二人旅でしたので、是非という事もあり参加しました。
いつもとは違う道を進み、いざポリネシア文化センターへ☆
思っていたより人がおおくてビックリ！！
ビュッフェはまあ、こんなもんかと・・・（スタンダード参加なので）
でも、ショーは感動！！でした。日も暮れてライトアップしたら情緒があり、
スタッフが汗だくで踊っているのを観ていたらあっという間の２時間❤
お昼間より夜の方が、私はいいように思いました。
来年また、ハワイに来る予定ですので、その時のメンバーを連れて行きたいと
思いまーす！！

We were divided into three groups, but the waves in the North were high, and by the time we got to the last group, it was impossible to enjoy the experience due to seasickness! Several people were vomiting. Unfortunately, some had to withdraw. I cannot recommend this for anyone who is prone to seasickness!
３グループに分かれて参加するのですが、ノースの波は高く最後のグループになると
船酔いで鑑賞どころではありません！！
数人が吐きまくりでした。
かわいそうに棄権した方もおられました。
少しでも船酔いされる方にはオススメ出来ません！！
Thank you very much for participating. We are truly sorry to hear that you felt unwell due to the high waves. The height of the waves can be affected by the weather on the day, but for those who are concerned, we recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance, as noted on the activity page. Thank you for your valuable feedback.
この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。波が高かったようで、ご気分が悪くなられたとの事、誠に残念でございます。当日の天候により波の高さは左右されますが、ご心配な方は事前に酔い止め薬を飲まれることをアクティビティページ上でも推奨させていただいております。貴重なご意見をありがとうございました。

I have traveled to Oahu several times, but I had never been there before, so I really enjoyed my half-day visit this time. I went around with about 20 people, and one of them participated in a show and became a bit of a celebrity for a moment. That also became a nice memory. The evening show was impressive, making it a great day overall.
オワフには何度か旅行していますが、1度も行っていなかったので今回半日とても満喫できました。今回は20人ほどの方と一緒に回りましたが、その中の方がショーに参加され一瞬有名人になっていました。それもいい思い出になりました。夜のショーも迫力があっていい1日でした。

One of the purposes of my visit to Hawaii was this. My husband and I were supposed to participate together, but unexpectedly, he fell ill the day before, so I considered canceling. However, he encouraged me to go alone, and I did.
My impression? Simply the best!!
The photographer was very good at Japanese and made various efforts to help me relax. The instructor spoke mostly in English, so I think it would be better to have some speaking ability.
I experienced a new world. When I come to Hawaii next time, I would like to participate again with my husband.
今回ハワイ訪問の目的のひとつでした。
夫婦で参加の予定でしたがまさかの夫が前日体調悪くなったためキャンセルを考えましたが夫に勧められひとりで参加しました。
感想は、ひとこと最高！！
カメラマンの方は、日本語が上手でリラックスさせるためいろいろ気を使って頂きました。
インストラクターの方は、英語のことが多いので多少話せた方がいいかと思います。
新しい世界を経験しました。
ハワイに来た際は、今度は夫婦で再度参加したいです。

The Polynesian center is a must see. The Luau was a bit disappointing in terms of the food selection and quantity. The evening show however was Outstanding!! I would recommend make this an all day event so as to explore the entire center.
Excellent centre, great way to learn about the Polynesian cultures and very entertaining.
My friends and I participated in an evening tour since it was a travel day from another island. I thought "with transportation" just meant we would be picked up by a bus, but the guide, a young woman, provided commentary the entire way to our destination. She shared various insights about breathtaking viewpoints and related experiences, which made the journey enjoyable. She was a student from a nearby university (I believe it was Brigham Young University) and was an excellent guide, making the trip feel quick and engaging.
About 80% of the staff at the Polynesian Cultural Center are students from that university, and they were all very experienced, making our dining experience pleasant. As for the show, not all performers were students, but it was so captivating that I forgot about that. I think it’s a show that everyone, whether they do hula or Tahitian dance or not, can really enjoy.
友人と3人、その日は他島からの移動日だったので、夕方出発のツアーに参加しました。
「送迎付き」とあったので、ただ単にバスで送迎してもらえるだけだと思っていましたが、添乗員の女の子が到着までの間ずーっとガイドしてくれて、絶景ポイントやそれにまつわる体験談など、いろいろ教えていただき楽しめました。
彼女は、ポリネシア・カルチャーセンター近隣の大学（ブリガム・ヤング大学だったでしょうか）の学生さんでしたが、とてもガイドが上手で飽きることなくあっという間に現地に着きました。
ポリネシア・カルチャーセンター内で勤務する方の8割ぐらいがその大学の学生さんだそうですが、みなさんとても慣れていて、食事も気持ちよく楽しめました。
それからショーですが、全員ではないですが学生さんが踊っているそうです。
でも、あまりのど迫力にそんなことは忘れてしまうショーでした。
フラやタヒチアンをやっている方もそうでない方も、とても楽しめるショーだと思います。

Best way to visit the North Shore Area. There is so much to do on this tour I only wished it had lasted longer. We snorkeled at sharks cove where we saw beautiful fish and sea turtles, swam under a waterfall at Waimea Valley, visited sunset beach and turtle beach. We then hung out and ate in Haleiwa town. There are different options to choose from depending on your package. We missed Waimea bay - could not fit into schedule. Maybe next time. Highly recommend if you are NOT renting a car.
I was taken with a group of about 10 people. I thought we would have plenty of time at Dole, but the pineapple train took longer than expected, and we ended up hurriedly eating our soft serve. I think the timing of the train plays a role, but before boarding, the staff takes photos of each group with the train in the background, so we had to wait until everyone was done taking pictures, which took a lot of time before we could depart, especially since it was summer vacation. At the North Shore, we were able to eat garlic shrimp and see sea turtles, which made for a fun experience.
10名ほどのグループで連れて行ってもらいました。
ドールでは時間がたっぷりあると思っていましたが、パイナップル列車に予想以上に時間が掛かり、急いでソフトクリームを食べる感じでした。
列車の来るタイミングもあると思いますが、乗車前にスタッフが1組ずつ列車をバックに写真を撮るため、全員が撮り終わるまで待たなくてはならず、夏休みという事もあって出発するまでにすごく時間が掛かりました。
ノースショアではガーリックシュリンプも食べられたし、ウミガメも見られて楽しく過ごせました。

This was my second time, and I was able to hear different stories with humor, making it a very enjoyable trip. The meals were well thought out, and there was a good amount of free time. I learned about local cuisine, which I think is valuable. I plan to use this service again.
２回目なんですが、又違った話がきけてユーモアがありとても気持ちいい旅でした。
食事も気を、つかっていただいて自由時間もほどほどあり
地元の食事も、教えていただき勉強していると思います。

It was a standard experience with just a show and a meal.
First of all, the meal had a limited variety and was somewhat lacking in options, which left me wanting more. Maybe the deluxe option would have been better? The students warmly welcomed us, and the service was good.
As for the show, it was a bit intense, and my impression of the first half was just okay. During the break, ice cream was sold (it seemed like it was free for the deluxe guests), which was a nice surprise and quite delicious. The second half featured a fire dance, which I really enjoyed! It was impressive, especially considering the performers were students. Overall, I felt that the show made a genuine effort to entertain the audience.
ショーと食事のみの、スタンダードでした。
まず食事は種類も少なく、バリエーションもまあまあな感じで、物足りなかったです。デラックスのほうが良かったかな？
学生さんは暖かく出迎えてくれて、接客は良かったです。
ショーですが、少し激しめで、前半はまあまあかな、という印象。
休憩タイムにアイスクリームが売られていて(デラックスの人は無料なようでした)、それは嬉しく、美味しかったです。後半にはファイアーダンスがあり、これはとっても楽しめました！学生さんだとは思えないほど。
ショーは全体的に、観客を楽しませようとしてくれている姿勢を感じました。

I can't recommend a better way to capture the essence of Hawaii than on this beach trail ride. The scenery is beautiful, relaxing and the overall experience made our trip that much more memorable. We saw sea turtles and even caught a glimpse of an endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal. The horses are very well trained polo ponies that do trail rides in their spare time. ...just another reason that makes this ride unique. The guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. we will be back!
We participated as a family.
The experience of descending from over 4,700 meters was thrilling and exhilarating, unlike anything in the past!
The scenery rapidly approaching from the ground was more about emotion than fear!
The DVD captured everything well, conveying the excitement, so for first-timers, it might be a bit pricey, but I definitely recommend it!
家族全員で参加しました。
高度４７００ﾒｰﾄﾙ以上からの降下体験は過去にはない、スリルと痛快さ！
地上が見る見る近づく景色は、恐怖というより感動そのもの！
ＤＶＤもしっかり撮れていて、興奮状態が伝わってきますので、初めてやる人はちょっと高いですが是非！

I visited on September 6, 2013. I participated in the tour to experience Polynesian culture, history, and dance shows, and it just so happened to be the week of the 50th anniversary of the Polynesian Cultural Center. There were graduates from Brigham Young University associated with the center, and they were holding a ceremony at the entrance, which I was able to witness. I think it was a rare experience. Overall, I had a great time exploring the center, and the evening dance show was so captivating that I lost track of time. However, regarding the buffet-style dinner, I found the taste to be somewhat disappointing, as it wasn't particularly delicious or varied. It was a bit of a letdown. It seems that there is an option for a deluxe dinner, which might have been better.
2013/9/6に利用しました。
ポリネシアの文化や歴史、ダンスショーを目当てにツアー参加したのですが、
またまたポリネシア・カルチャー・センターの50周年記念の週だったようで、
センターに縁のあるブリガム・ヤング大学の卒業生が来ていたり、出入り口の所で
その式典を開催していて、それを見る事もできました。レアな体験だったと思います。
全体を通して、とても楽しくセンター内を見学でき、夜のダンスショーは見入ってしまい時間を忘れるような内容でした。
ただ、ビュッフェ形式の夕食についてですが、あまり美味しいと思える味でも、選べる種類が多いというような事でも無く、少々残念な内容となってしまっていました。
夕食の内容はデラックスにもできるようですので、そちらだともっと良かったのかも知れません。

The seaside location is amazing! It was a bit disappointing that it was only 45 minutes long, but riding the horse while enjoying the beautiful ocean, sandy beaches, and greenery of the North Shore created the best atmosphere! I was able to take great photos that my friends would envy, even while riding with one hand on the shutter! There were three instructors with us, and they chatted with us, saying things like, "They filmed Pirates of the Caribbean here!" and "Turtle!" I had a lot of fun, especially since I'm studying English. We stopped at various places on the way to the North Shore, which was also enjoyable! The ocean at the North Shore was very beautiful and felt like a private beach, which was great! I wanted to play in the ocean as well as ride horses, so I would be happy if there was a plan that combined horseback riding and swimming! But I definitely want to ride horses at this place again!
海辺のロケーションが最高です！45分と少し短いのが残念でしたが、馬に乗りながら、ノースショアの美しい海、砂浜、緑と最高の雰囲気でした！馬に乗りながらも片手でシャッターを切ることが出来たので、友達に羨ましがられるくらいの良い写真が撮れました！インストラクターの方が3人着いて下さり、途中「ここでパイレーツオブカリビアンの撮影をしたんだよ！」とか「タートル！」とか話しかけてくれて英語勉強中の私はとても楽しかったです、ノースショアに来るまでに、途中いろいろな所に寄って行くので、それも楽しかったです！ノースショアの海がとても綺麗でいかにもプライベートビーチという感じで良かったです！乗馬だけではなくて、海でも遊びたかったので、乗馬＋海水浴が出来るプランがあったら嬉しいです！でも絶対また乗馬はこの場所でしたいです！！

I can't express this breathtaking view in words. The sight of Oahu from about 4,200 meters above is incredible. My friends were too scared to try it, but I think it's worth doing since you only live once. Just give it a try!

The food was horrible and the show was okay. We did not make it in time to do any of the activities offered. My parents were there all day and enjoyed the activities more than the dinner and show.
After a comfortable drive of just over an hour from Waikiki towards the North, I spotted the GUNSTOCK sign and felt a rush of excitement. The expansive ranch, along with the goats and horses, was truly soothing and impressive.
While horseback riding, I leisurely enjoyed the scenery, and at the top of the hill, a breathtaking view unfolded, making me feel refreshed. Riding while holding the reins myself really allowed me to fully embrace the cowboy experience.
抜群の景色の中ノースを目指し快適ドライブをワイキキから1時間ちょっと、GUNSTOCKの看板を見つけ心ワクワク。広い牧場、山羊と馬に癒され感動。
乗馬は、のんびり景色を堪能しながらテクテク、岡の上では絶景が広がり気分爽快。
手綱を自分で引きながらの乗馬は、本当にカーボーイ気分を満喫しました。
