North Shore ATV Tour Off-Road Adventure - Oceanfront Trails, Meet Farm Animals & Tree Planting

So fun

Reviewed by: Crowder

Single riders on a curving, challenging track. Very friendly people helping you. Can go down to beach afterwards. Wear clothes and shoes you can get very dirty.

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Sharks up close and personal

Reviewed by: Sara C

My daughter and I had an amazing time with the crew learning about sharks and observing them in their natural habitat. A MUST DO for everyone. Bring an underwater camera but don't spend your whole time behind the camera or you will miss what is all around you. Listening to the whales singing was an added bonus.

I applied for the shuttle service, but there was no pickup included at the same price. 送迎付きに申込み、だが同一料金で迎えなし

Reviewed by: タカさん

I visited Hawaii for the first time in 40 years. I had also been to the Polynesian Cultural Center back then, so I signed up for the dinner and theater option tour, but it was only a drop-off service at the same price.

 40年振りにハワイ観光をしました。その時もポリネシアカルチャーセンターには、行きましたので、ディナーとシアターのみのオプションツアーを申し込みましたが、同一価格で送りのみでした。

CLIMB Works Keana Farms - Oahu Zipline Tour with 8 Lines, ATV Ride, Rappel, Skybridge Course

Great experience, even if you’re afraid of heights!

Reviewed by: Ken

I am 70 years old, in pretty good shape but was worried about my ability to do this. (All the others in my group were 30-40 years). Not only was I able to do it, I kept up with the youngsters and conquered my fear of heights. The staff here were outstanding. They put safety first, remembered all of our names and kept everything fun and light hearted. The views from the platforms were spectacular and the lines were long and up high above the trees. (My only complaint would be that I wish there was a restroom maybe at the halfway point of the excursion). Other than that, I would highly recommend this for any thrill seekers out there. You did have to endure some physical as well as mental challenges along the way. There were some steep steps to climb, a bumpy ATV ride from the first platform to the second, a controlled bungee leap off of two of the platforms and one where you had to pull yourself up using a block and tackle rope pulley. Fun, fun fun……

Lovey gentle evening ride

Reviewed by: Sara

The ladies that took us on our ride were absolutely delightful. They were thorough about safety and just lovely to talk to. They obviously care very much for the horses and know them well.
The evening was beautiful despite the risk of rain and the timing was perfect to have photos with the sunset behind us.
My only negative was that it was advertised as a 90 minute ride and it was only 60 minutes.

We went to a Friday afternoon Luau and WOW! The experience was amazing. Streamlined and efficient, the serving and hospitality staff were exceptional. The show itself blew us away.

It was such a great experience we will definitely go back when we are next on Oahu! Highly recommended A+++ great value for your money and time

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Guest of Feb15, 2023

This was an interesting and excellent experience. Even though the activities were not that interesting to me as an adult, it is great for kids. I had a excellent experience watching my 2 year old enjoy it. The main person who did all the talking was courteous and enjoyable. He had the right timings for his jokes which I appreciated a lot. Also the way the others in his group contributed was entertaining. They seemed as if they were naturals at entertaining people.
I would say that for a group that has only been doing this for a few years, they knew what they were doing and they were great!

I highly recommend this, especially for families!

My family had a great time!

2.5-Hour Haleiwa ATV Tour & Off-Road Small-Group Adventure - Top Rated!

Best ATV tour ever! A Must do!

Reviewed by: Kristin Jones

This ATV tour was none less than amazing! Our tour guide Keoki, was amazing. His level of interest and understanding of the land's history was amazing. He was funny, informative, and very engaged in allowing us to have both a fun and educational experience. I highly recommend this tour. It rained and we were worried it was going to be canceled I am so glad that it was not! It was muddy and fun, and the views were breathtaking.
We took a group of six and it was definitely a VIP experience.
It is a must-do and Family oriented. He brought us a homemade snack and drinks as well. We laughed and laughed at his jokes and fun personality.

  • One of the most fantastic views, even on a rainy day!

  • Us as a group

  • Just a little mud on a rainy day.

  • Best tour guide ever, Keoki!

Small-Group Swim with Sharks Dive Tour from Haleiwa - Go Adventure Hawaii

Best experience on Oahu!!!

Reviewed by: Nikki J.

Go Adventure Hawaii was one of the best experiences we had on Oahu!! Not only did we see at least 10 sharks and a whale, the staff were some of the greatest people we met! All three guys were super informative, accommodating, made us feel super safe and even gave us a bunch of awesome recommendations for the things to do/eat. Highly recommend these guys for a once in a lifetime experience!! If you get a chance, practice snorkeling in the shallow water before just diving in for the first time like we did! Definitely recommend getting the photo package! Can’t wait to get our back!!

  • This was after the shark dive and the ride back, we also saw a whale!!

ポリネシア カルチャー センター ハワイ最大の伝統ルアウショー!ショーのみまたはビュッフェ・ディナー付きから選べるプラン<送迎付きプランあり>

Definitely worth a visit. 行く価値あり

Reviewed by: あーちゃん

I chose this show without dining options considering the infection aspect. Also, since it has a roof, it seemed fine even if it rains. It takes just under an hour from Waikiki, but it's worth the trip. I don't understand much English, but I got the general idea. Moreover, it was incredibly impressive!! It was the best show I've seen so far. I was at the very end of the front row, but the production was designed to be easy to see even from the side, so it wasn't a problem. I definitely want to participate again next time.

感染面を考え、飲食を伴わないこちらのショーを選びました。また、屋根もあるため雨が降っても大丈夫そうなので選びました。
ワイキキからは1時間弱かかりますが、行く価値ありです。英語はあまり分かりませんが、大体内容はわかりました。しかも、ものすごく見応えあり!! 今までのショーで1番でした。
最前列の1番端でしたが、端でも見やすい演出になっているので問題ありませんでした。
次回も、またぜひ参加したいです。

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

North shore fun!

Reviewed by: Cara Jermstad

We had a wonderful time on this adventure to the north shore on Oahu. Cousin G was our guide and he did a great job taking care of us and keeping things lively. He was so knowledgeable of the history and the area and all the ins and outs of where to go. He was really funny, too! Waimea falls was beautiful and the next stop we opted for paddle boarding. We didn't see any sea turtles, but it was still fun and peaceful. We had a small group of 10, which I don't think is usual, but it was a treat for us because we could move around easily and quickly get in and out of places. We'd highly recommend this to anyone!!

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]

I wish I had left more time to explore the Valley!

Reviewed by: Kris H

The grounds are beautiful and larger than I expected. We allowed an hour to explore the grounds but could have easily spent 2-3 hours looking at all of the scenery. The luau was a lot of fun. There were some hands-on activities before we were seated which were fun. Once seated, we had a great meal and were offered seconds. I could barely finish my 1st plate:)
The entertainment was truly fun. Lots of stories, dancing, singing and some comedy. The closing of the show had fire dancers and one was a 10-year-old boy who could twirl the fire stick outrageously fast. Overall, this was a great experience which I would do again if I were in Honolulu with a car.
