ノースショア(ハレイワ)観光 ハレイワタウンで3時間の自由散策+ドールプランテーション!海辺の絶景を楽しめる乗馬付き(70分)プランあり<1日/送迎付き>

First time horseback riding in Haleiwa. 初めてのハレイワ乗馬

Reviewed by: みみみ

I usually don't write reviews, but I decided to do so because the tour guide left a very good impression on me. The guide was Japanese and shared various information about Hawaii during the bus rides to and from the destination.

Additionally, while reading other reviews, I noticed that some mentioned a very tight schedule where they only went horseback riding and couldn't explore Haleiwa. However, it seems that this has improved, as we had time to spend in Haleiwa. After enjoying coffee in Haleiwa, we went horseback riding, took about 30 minutes to eat garlic shrimp, and then relaxed at the Dole Plantation before returning to Waikiki. The horseback riding along the beach was leisurely for about an hour, and it was a wonderful experience.

I was also happy that the guide took photos for us and was very proactive.

普段口コミを書かないんですが、ツアーガイドさんがとても好印象だったので書くことにしました。
日本人?の方で、行きも帰りも移動中のバスの中でハワイのことを色々と話して下さってました。
また、他の方の口コミを見るとあまりにもタイトスケジュールで乗馬だけしてハレイワは散策出来ないとありましたが、改善されたのかハレイワで過ごす時間もありました。
ハレイワで珈琲飲んだ後に乗馬して、ガーリックシュリンプを30分くらいかけて食べ、ドールプランテーションでゆっくり過ごしワイキキへ戻りました。乗馬も海辺を1時間くらいゆっくり乗馬して
とても素敵な時間でした。
ガイドさんが、写真撮ってくれたり率先してくれたので嬉しかったです。

乗馬体験(1.5時間) ノースショアの海辺を散策!ロマンチックなサンセットプランや貸切プランから選べる 8歳から参加OK!

Riding horses on the sandy beach with my family was the best feeling! 家族で砂浜を乗馬、最高の気分でした!

Reviewed by: まっつん

My fourth-grade daughter had some horseback riding experience in Japan, but her parents had almost none, yet we felt comfortable participating. Since we met at the location, we rented a car through an app and headed there. It took just over an hour to arrive from our hotel in Waikiki. Our group consisted of a total of eight people, with only our family of three being Japanese. The rest were Europeans and Asians. My wife speaks English, but my daughter and I only know a little. Still, we managed just fine. It was amazing to be able to ride horses along the white sandy beach. There was a height restriction for horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, so my daughter couldn't participate there, but this tour was fine for ages six and up, so there was no problem. There was also a polo practice area, and it was fun to watch the polo practice.

小学四年生の娘は日本で何度か乗馬経験がありましたが、両親はほぼ乗馬経験なし、それでも安心して参加できました。現地集合のため、アプリでカーシェアリングの車を借り、現地へ。ワイキキ のホテルから1時間強くらいで到着しました。我々が参加した組は合計8名で日本人は我々家族三人のみ。あとは、欧米人とアジア系の方々。家内は英語を喋りますが私と娘は片言。それでもなんとかなりました。白い砂浜を馬に乗って散歩できるなんて最高でした。クアロアランチへの乗馬は身長制限があり、娘が参加できませんでしたが、こちらのツアーは確か6歳以上だったので問題ありませんでした。ポロの練習場が併設されていて、ポロの練習も見られて楽しかったです。

Shark Encounter

Reviewed by: V.Ramirez

The crew with Captain David was awesome! Very friendly and made sure we felt comfortable and safe on the way out to the cage, during the encounter, and on our way back to the dock. We were lucky to see 4 tiger sharks as we arrived. This was a bucket list item for me snd the crew made it all that more memorable. Would recommend booking with this company for your future shark encounters!

I participated in a tour with seven zip lines. There were seven lines ranging from shorter ones to the longest one on Oahu, and there were activities other than zip lining along the way, so I never got bored. Both adults and children can enjoy it thoroughly.

Along the way, there was cold water provided in disposable paper cups, which was very appreciated. The scenery was also wonderful, and I definitely want to participate again.

ジップライン7本のツアーに参加しました。短めのものからオアフ島最長のものまで7本で、途中にジップライン以外のアクティビティもあって飽きることがありませんでした。大人も子供も十分に楽しめます。
途中に冷たいお水が使い捨ての紙カップと一緒に置いてあり、これがとってもありがたかったです。景色も素晴らしく、また是非参加したいです。

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

A Hawaii "must do"!

Reviewed by: Stan C

A cultural and historical event that any and every visitor to Hawaii should experience at least once. Not only is it a smooth operating show, but they did an outstanding job of explaining the historical reasoning behind everything.

The food was great and the hospitality was first class. Their location on the north side of the island was amazing and a counterpoint to the the South side. There's also the added benefit of being just down the road from famous Sunset Beach!

I had an amazing time. すんごい楽しかった

Reviewed by: じーこ

I was worried about participating since I couldn't speak any English, but the explanations were clear and easy to understand thanks to the use of gestures, allowing for a smooth experience.

Traveling by bus would have taken quite a long time, so we took an Uber from Matsumoto Shave Ice on the North Shore.

The horseback riding lasted about an hour and a half, and there were two local guides for our group of two. They took nearly 50 photos and shared all of them with us for free via AirDrop.

Even as first-time riders, the horses followed the path perfectly. The scenery was beautiful, and it was truly amazing.

全く英語が出来ず心配で参加しましたが、ジェスチャーを交えてわかりやすく説明してくれたため、スムーズに体験することができました。
移動はバスだと時間がかなりかかるため、ノースショアのマツモトシェイブアイスから、Uberで行きました。
乗馬の時間は1時間30分程で、2組に2人の現地のガイドが付いてくれました。写真も50枚近く撮ってくれて、エアドロップで無料で全てくれました。
乗馬初体験の私たちでも、道順通りに馬が乗せてってくれました。景色も良くて本当に最高でした。

- We managed to see a couple of nice sized Sharks while we were out. The cage was very secure and you had no feelings of not being safe.
- I had an AMAZING time, but my husband, who can't handle the sea travel, got sick.

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

Incredible, fun experience worth doing every time I visit Oahu!

Reviewed by: Jessica Gan

I booked this as a spontaneous adventure for my parents and siblings first time visiting Oahu. None of us are super outdoorsy people (I don't even know how to swim) but we had a blast with this experience. The crew was fun, funny, knowledgeable and helpful. There was a lot of nervousness and anxiety with an experience like this but I felt at ease with them with their experience at sea and knowledge of the sharks we encountered. I loved that they loved what they do. I loved that we all shared the same respect and awe for the sharks.

We were fortunate enough to see 2 tiger sharks and dolphins on the way back!! Even my mom who was brought along as just an observer had an incredible experience on the boat ride and took some awesome pics! I wish I had prior experience working with snorkeling gear and learning breathing techniques to stay down longer to spend more time seeing the beautiful tiger sharks we saw. Next time, because there for sure will be, I'll be ready to handle the currents, my breathing techniques, and will bring my own GoPro! Can't wait for next time! Thank you to the amazing Hawaii Shark Encounters crew!

All-Inclusive Oahu Island Tour with Lunch & Waimea Valley Waterfall Nature Walk

Disappointed for sure!

Reviewed by: Dan

I was under the impression we were on a smaller shuttle bus, not a big bus. By the time we got picked up we had to sit in the back of the bus. Only a few people wore masks. I had paid more for this tour because I thought it was in a smaller vehicle. I saw many smaller shuttles and was told by the tour guide that this company used to use smaller shuttles but now went to the big bus. The tour guide knew a lot about the island that was interesting but it was obvious that he was sure high on himself. We spent a lot of time riding the bus and getting on and off. Last time I was on Oahu I rented a car and it was much more enjoyable.

Hi Dan,

We use a deluxe motor coach for several reasons:

1. The coach has much larger windows than smaller buses and allows for better views.
2. The seats are much more comfortable than minibus seats.
3.The air conditioning system is far superior to smaller buses.
4.We have a dedicated ,professional bus driver AND a second person who provides detailed educational and entertaining narration without being distracted by also having to drive.
Minibuses have the same person driving and narrating.

Masks no longer need to be worn inside as of April,2022.

In order to see and visit the amazing locations on our adventure we have to drive over 100 miles so you not only have the opportunity to visit O'ahu's premier attractions but also see some of the best scenery on Earth.

With Aloha

I was picked up in Waikiki, and the driver explained the history while we first went to the Dole Plantation! We stayed there for about 30 minutes, including a bathroom break, and then headed to the town of Haleiwa!

The location was absolutely amazing! I felt reassured because the horseback riding instructions were provided in Japanese on the bus beforehand.

Once we arrived, the staff were very attentive, checking in on us and asking if we were okay, which made them friendly and approachable.

I've had a few horseback riding experiences before, but if I come back to Hawaii, I would definitely want to book here again!

ワイキキでピックアップしてもらい、運転手さんに歴史等説明してもらいながらまずドールハウスへ行きました!そこでトイレ休憩含め30分程滞在し、いよいよハレイワの街へ!
