This tour was quite an adventure, complete with beautiful views, good food, and of course an exciting ride. Ty, our guide, shared all kinds of historic and pop culture facts related to the ranch. We learned a little about the original irrigation system from the ranch's early plantation days and even got to walk the full length of an irrigation tunnel and explored a small cave. We also saw a recent Hawaii Five-0 filming location, hand fed some cows, and ate fresh tropical fruit right off the plant. Ty also let us set the pace for the ride...we chose fast and rough and he did not disappoint. A couple times I thought we were going to spin out or flip over, which is exactly what we wanted!
I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun adventure.

While waiting, I felt nervous, but it was more fun to get caught up in the vibe of the instructor and cameraman. Let's force ourselves to smile! When you say "Kau Kau," it's fine even without equalizing your ears.
Right after jumping, the noise and wind pressure are overwhelming, but once the parachute opens, it truly feels like a scenic flight, like being a bird. I felt a bit nauseous, but I managed to get through it by coordinating with the instructor. It's a bit pricey, but I recommend getting the video and photos since you can look back on them later.
待つ間ドキドキしますが、インストラクターとカメラマンのノリに巻き込まれちゃった方が楽です。無理にでも笑いましょう!カウカウと言うと耳抜きなしでも大丈夫。
飛んだ直後は轟音と風圧で一杯一杯ですが、パラシュートが開いたあとは正に遊覧飛行、鳥になった気分です。私は若干酔いそうになりましたが、インストラクターと動きを合わせて乗り切りました。少々お高いですが、ピデオと写真はオススメです。後で振り返れるので。

So glad we chose Haleiwa Shark Tours/Three Local Boys! Only had six people on boat and cage held six people! We never had to get out of cage! Saw between 10-20 sharks, hard to tell exactly because there was ALWAYS 4-6 in view! The captain and his mate, terrible at names but think Captain was Chris, both very knowledge about history of island and pointed them out as we were going to drop spot. Felt very comfortable in cage - anybody can do this! I'd love to back tomorrow, but we are leaving. HIGHLY recommend Haleiwa Shark Tours

So much education, impossible to see and grasp in one day. Beautiful scenery, wonderful entertainment. Was a little too warm, could have used a little AC here and there but no complaints!

We went for the shark cage adventure on 1st September. It was one of the most terrifying thing we were doing before we started.
The boat was easy to spot, and the best part they waited for us as we got a little late due to road closures. Thumbs up for veltra and the excursion team to work with us on this and keeping us feeling relaxed.
Pro tip: road closures in oahu are really bad, keep more than usual buffer time for your travel.
The boat ride was really choppy, as we were already informed that there were very high waves. The ride could have been slowed down a little(my wife puked due to sea sickness)
Once at the site, we went down in the cage, and after initial jitters of maybe a minute, you start feeling better and safe. So all the folks who are afraid to do so, please just get in the cage, I promise it gets better.
Waters here were again choppy, meaning we were constantly bumping with cage or someone else.
The.good part was we could see multiple galapego sharks, they are magnificent creatures. We saw two upclose and they were big(7-8 feet long).
Ride back was again on rough waters and could have been slowed down a little.
The guides were ok, could have been better and maybe helped us a bit more in water and calming our nerves a little.

I'm so glad I participated! I had my concerns and was worried about dying, but after reading everyone's experiences here saying how great it was, my husband and I decided to book the tour. Even during the ascent in the plane, I felt no anxiety and took off smoothly. It was truly beautiful, and I wanted to keep flying forever. The instructor was a foreigner, but he was really unique and fun. I highly recommend that participants request the optional camera on-site. My husband didn't sign up for it, but I asked for the instructor's wristwatch camera. He even took pictures of us together, and although I only intended to get photos, the videos turned out to be amazing, so I ended up ordering both. I was able to add the video later after seeing how well it turned out. There were others who hired a photographer, but even the instructor's cheaper option was more than enough. I'm really glad I participated. I hope everyone gets to see the beautiful scenery of Hawaii from the sky!
参加して良かった!気にはなってたけど不安もあるし死んだらやだしと思ってました。ここの体験談の皆さんが飛んで良かったと書いていたので背中を押され夫婦でツアーを申し込みました。飛行機で上昇しても不安はなく、あっさり飛びました。本当に美しくてずっと飛んでいたかったです。インストラクターの方は外国人の方ですが、すごくユニークで楽しかったです。参加される方は是非、現地でオプションのカメラをお願いする事をお勧めします。主人は申し込みしませんでしたが、私はインストラクターの腕時計式のカメラでお願いしました。主人と一緒にも撮ってくれたし、写真だけのつもりが動画が特に最高で両方注文してしまいました。出来具合を見て後から動画は追加できました。カメラマンを頼んでいる方もいましたが、インストラクターの方の安い方でも十分でした。本当に参加して良かったです。ハワイの美しい景色を是非空から見て欲しいです。

The authentic dance show where you can learn about the history of Hawaii was wonderful. My family, especially my husband, was the most impressed since it was their first time in Hawaii.
This time we had the deluxe course, so being able to tour behind the scenes beforehand was a great preparation for enjoying the show. The cool guys who actually perform in the show were very relaxed and took photos with us, which became a great memory of our trip.

Last November, my spouse and I participated. It seemed that the boat was launched in a way that was almost a forced breakthrough despite the rough weather, and nearly all the crew members were severely seasick. The motion sickness medication we took was ineffective (laughs).
Instead of fearing the sharks, I was overwhelmed by a fear I had never experienced before, feeling like I might die due to the height of the waves and the intense rocking. It was so rough that even the Westerners on the same boat were smiling wryly.
Because of the rough weather, we couldn't see the ocean from inside the cage. We could only confirm the sharks' presence when they came quite close. I saw about five sharks, but due to the intense rocking inside the cage and the seasickness, I don't remember much (laughs). Other participants were also watching sharks while throwing up, making it quite a harsh experience (laughs).
On days with good weather, it seems you can encounter many sharks, as others have posted. It's an experience that you can't easily have in Japan (and it seems that rough sailing like this is something that only fishermen get to experience), so I definitely recommend participating.
去年の11月に夫婦で参加しました。
大しけの中、強行突破のような形で船を出したようで、乗員のほぼ全員激しく船酔いしていました。飲んでいた酔い止め薬も効果ナシでした(笑)
サメの恐怖ではなく、あまりの波の高さと激しい揺れに、このまま死ぬのではないか、と言う感じたことのない恐怖に襲われました。あまりに激しく揺れるので、同じ船に乗っていた欧米の方々も苦笑でした。
シケでしたので、ゲージに入っても海を見渡せない。サメがかなり近くに来ないと姿を確認できなかったです。5匹ほど見れましたが、ゲージ内の揺れがすごいのと船酔いで気持ち悪いのであまり記憶がありません(笑)他の参加者も吐きながらサメを見る、といったかなり過酷な現場でした(笑)
天気の良い日は他の方が投稿されているように、たくさんのサメに出会えるようですね。日本ではなかなかできない体験(大しけの航海も漁師さんたち以外はなかなか体験できなさそう)ですので是非参加してみてください。

I was picked up at 5 AM. Skydiving is a hard activity, so it's no surprise that the instructions and consent forms are lengthy. The explanation of the consent form might feel a bit rough, but don't worry; you can fill it out after you arrive without rushing. They will ask you to fill it out while driving, but I wouldn't recommend it as it can make you feel nauseous. The drive is long, so if you're prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking some anti-nausea medication. Skydiving is very nerve-wracking, but the staff really gets you excited, making it a fun experience. During the skydiving, you will hold hands and spin around, which might make some people feel dizzy, so if you're unsure, it's safer to take anti-nausea medication before skydiving. It was my first time in Hawaii and my first skydiving experience, and it became a wonderful memory. If you're considering it, I highly recommend giving it a try.
朝5時集合でピックアップしてもらいました。スカイダイビングはハードなアクティビティなので、当たり前ですが、説明書、同意書が長いです。その同意書への説明が少し荒く感じるかもしれませんが、焦らず到着してからでも記入出来ますのでご安心を。運転中に記入しなさいと言われますが、酔うのでオススメしません。道中長いので、車酔いの方は酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。スカイダイビングはとても緊張しますが、スタッフの方が盛り上げてくれますので、楽しくできました。スカイダイビング中、手を繋いで回ったりもします。そこで酔ってしまうこともあるので、自信のない方は、スカイダイビング前に酔い止めを飲んだ方が安心です。初ハワイ初スカイダイビングでしたが、とてもいい思い出になりました。検討中の方は是非体験してみてください。

I'm glad I went! I had so much fun!
The day before, I fell and got a minor scrape on my palm, so I was a bit anxious and nervous, sweating from my hands, but to sum it up, it was no problem at all. You don't need grip strength for the zip line.
The lockers are small, about the size of a valuables box at a public bath. Larger items need to be left at the office, which was free of charge. A cautious companion (who was told it was at their own risk and left their smartphone) said, "If it’s this safe, I should have brought my smartphone on the course." I think as long as you take precautions to avoid dropping it, you should bring it.
There were many older participants who were actively enjoying themselves, striking poses and even going upside down. However, I think lighter children might stop midway due to not gaining enough speed, so I recommend waiting until they are older to participate.
行って良かったです!すごく楽しかったです!
前日に転んで手のひらに軽いすり傷を負ってしまったので、大丈夫かなあという不安と緊張で手汗が止まらなかったのですが、結論から言うと全然問題なかったです。ジップラインに握力は必要ないので。
ロッカーは銭湯にある貴重品ボックス程の小さいものです。それより大きい持ち物はオフィスに預けます。無料でした。慎重な同行者(自己責任と言われてスマホは預けた)も「こんなに安全ならスマホをコースに持ち込めばよかった」と。落とさない工夫だけしておけば、持っていくべきだと思います。
ご年配の参加者もたくさんいらっしゃって、ポーズをとったり逆さまになったりと、皆さん積極的に楽しんでおられました。ただ、体重の軽いお子さまはスピードが出ずに途中で止まってしまうと思うので、大人の身体になってからの参加をおススメします。

This was our first time in Hawaii so we wanted to see as much of Oahu as we could and this tour was a great way to do it. Our driver/tour guide/waiter Steve was excellent; filling us in with fun facts about Waikiki and the places we passed along the way, recommendations for activities and places to eat and restroom breaks along the way! Highlights were the chilli garlic shrimp lunch and the green sea turtle we saw sun-baking on the beach and the ones bobbing up and down in the sea! We would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the North Shore and get out of Waikiki.

I went with my wife, and we had a great time.
First, we arrived after about 1 hour and 30 minutes by shuttle from Waikiki. After checking in, we were gathered with our group and fitted with the gear. We did a practice zip line and then moved by buggy (which was intense), and then it was time for the real zip line? There are some really beautiful spots with great views since it's on a high ground. We were taking a lot of photos with our GOPRO and smartphones, making sure not to drop them.
There are no restrooms along the way, so be sure to go beforehand! They will hold your bags for you. I put my valuables in a locker with a lock. I regret forgetting to buy a T-shirt. I couldn't buy it online.
妻と行きました。とても楽しかったです。

They also offered instructions in Japanese, which was reassuring! Then, I watched the sunrise and waited for my name to be called before heading to the jet! As we ascended to a higher altitude, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness, and the moment I stood in front of the door was the peak of my tension! Once I jumped, it was over in an instant, and the view of the horizon and the ocean from above the clouds was incredibly beautiful and moving!! After the parachute opened, we descended slowly, but the instructor kept the energy up, so I just relaxed and enjoyed it♪ This thrill has become addictive, and I want to try it again!!

All three instructors were unable to speak Japanese, but we were able to enjoy the zip line without any difficulty thanks to their gestures. If small children couldn't land due to their light weight, the instructors would cover for them, so there were no issues.
In addition to the zip line, we used a lot of energy climbing up with just our arms and crossing a bridge to the next zip line. However, being surrounded by the forest felt really nice.
You can buy a photo from the return pad for $15.
One thing that caught my attention was that all the participants were Japanese, but not a single person gave a tip. In America, tipping is part of the culture and can be a significant part of the salary, so it's important to tip to avoid leaving a bad impression of Japanese people. My husband and I each gave $20 while saying "Thank you very much!" The instructor was very happy and shook our hands. It's much nicer for both parties to give generously, so always make sure to tip!
インストラクターをしてくれた三人は全員日本語が話せない方でしたが、ジェスチャーで伝わってたので難なくジップラインを楽しむことができました♪小さい子でも体重が軽くて着地できなかったりした場合はインストラクターがカバーしてくれるので問題なしです。
ジップライン以外にも、腕だけで上に上がったり、次のジップラインまで橋を渡ったりと、体力かなり使います。けど森林に囲まれてかなり気持ちがいいです(^_^)v

最後気になったのが、参加者が全員日本人だったのですが、誰一人チップを渡していなかったことです。アメリカはチップ文化でチップがお給料の場合もあるし、日本人の印象が悪くなるので絶対に渡しましょう。Thank you very much!と言ってわたしと旦那は一人$20ずつ渡しました。インストラクターしてくれた方はすごく喜んで握手してくれました。ケチらず渡す方がお互い気持ちがいいので必ずチップは渡しましょう╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

We rode horses in a line, five family members together in the great outdoors. It felt like a scene from a movie and was truly moving. Our 6-year-old child rode a regular horse at the front, guided by a staff member. The other participants walked alone without staff assistance, but the horses were well-trained and followed the horse in front of them properly. However, since the sun was strong, 20 minutes was just the right amount of time. I recommend this experience for families with small children as well as for grandparents!

I went on an afternoon tour. The bright local tour guide (an elderly woman) had an impressive rapid-fire talk on the bus ride, chatting non-stop from departure to arrival. We arrived at the destination after 5:30 PM, and after wandering around a bit, I wanted to go on a canoe river tour, but it ended at 6 PM, so I couldn't participate. I think if the afternoon tour arrived an hour earlier, we could have seen various spots. Also, the evening dance show was breathtaking, and I believe it had a grand story unfolding, but since I don't understand English, I honestly couldn't grasp the content. I thought it would be great if there were Japanese interpretation guide services available.

喉が弱い人は口を開けた状態で飛ぶと、喉がやられる可能性大です。

Everyone was very kind, and we had a great time as a family. We got completely soaked in a sudden downpour, and it turned into a funny story as we bought clothes at Patagonia on the way home! Next time, I want to come back for a sunny day revenge!
とても親切で家族で楽しめました。
突然の豪雨に笑いが止まらないほどびしょ濡れで、帰りにパタゴニアで、服を買って帰るような笑い話!
今度は、晴天でリベンジしたい!

I wanted to experience horseback riding in Hawaii, and after comparing it with other riding clubs, I chose this one because it was close to the center of the North Shore. I took an Uber, but I think I made a mistake with the pin placement and initially arrived at the neighboring building, which made me anxious. A kind driver and the people next door helped me get to the correct building!
Before riding, you receive a briefing from the staff. Everything is in English, but there is a Japanese explanation in the waiting room, so it's not a problem if you can't understand English. The horses are smart, cute, and accustomed to people.
During the ride, a staff member led the way, and we had a mix of sturdy horses, unique horses, and those with hearty appetites. The horse in the middle seemed to be the cute surprise element! We enjoyed the scenery as we alternated between walking along the North Shore coastline and through the forest. It was my first time walking by the sea on horseback, and I was thrilled.
Since it was a leisurely stroll, those who want to gallop might find it a bit lacking. However, riding such smart and adorable horses while occasionally feeling the North Shore breeze is fantastic! On the way back along the coast, the staff member took photos for us with our smartphones. All the staff were very kind.
A note of caution: the time we visited was unusually humid for Hawaii, so it felt extremely hot. It's better to hydrate before and after riding, so bringing drinks or buying them at a supermarket in the North Shore is advisable. There are no supermarkets around the ranch. (They were selling carbonated drinks in the waiting room, but water was sold out.)
I called an Uber for the return trip, but it's a spot where Wi-Fi is hard to connect. You need to walk a little to a place with signal. Don't panic; it will work out! Make sure to keep your Wi-Fi and smartphone charged! Prepare in advance!
There are restrooms available. I was worried because I read reviews saying there were none, but there are restrooms. However, they are portable toilets like those found at construction sites or outdoor festivals. Since there are no shops around, I thought it was worth mentioning for those who might be concerned about restroom access.
You cannot ride with large luggage (you can leave your belongings in the waiting room, which has surveillance cameras, so it's safe), so it's a good idea to have one person carry a smartphone (to use when taking photos with the staff by the seaside). In that case, a body bag or waist pouch that doesn't hinder riding would be convenient!
ハワイで乗馬体験がしたくて、他の乗馬クラブとも比較した結果、車でノースショアの中心部から近かったこちらにしました。
ウーバーで行きましたがピンの立て方を間違えたのか最初はお隣の建物に着き、焦りました。親切なドライバーさんとお隣さんが、こちらの建物まで無事にアテンドしてくれました!
乗馬前はスタッフからレクチャーを受けられます。全て英語ですが、待合室で日本語の解説があるので英語が聞き取れなくても問題ありません。
馬たちはお利口さんで可愛くて、人に慣れています。
道中は、スタッフのお姉さんが先頭になり、よりしっかりした馬、個性的な馬、食欲旺盛な馬、しっかりした馬の順番でした。真ん中に配置された馬は可愛いハプニング要員だったみたいです^_^
ノースショアの海岸沿いと森の中を交互に散歩する感じで景色を楽しめました。海沿いを馬と歩くなんて人生初なので感激しました。
終始、お散歩なので駆け足をしたい方は物足りないかもしれません。
でも賢くてかわいい馬に乗せてもらって、ノースショアの風を時折感じられるのは最高です!
帰り道の海岸沿いで、お姉さんにスマホで写真も撮ってもらえます。スタッフのお姉さん達は皆さん親切な人でした。
注意点として
私達の行った時期が、ハワイにしては多湿だったので体感温度はめちゃくちゃ暑かったです。乗る前後に水分補給した方がよいので、飲み物は持参もしくは、ノースショアのスーパーで買ってきた方がベターです。牧場なので周囲にスーパーはありません。(こちらの待合室で炭酸系のジュースは販売してましたが、お水は売り切れていました)
帰りもウーバーを呼びましたが、Wi-Fiが入りにくい場所です。電波の届くところまでほんのちょっとだけ歩きます。何とかなるので慌てずに!
Wi-Fi、スマホの充電は切らさないように!事前に準備を!
トイレはあります。口コミでトイレがないとあり不安でしたが、ありました。ただし、工事現場や野外フェスティバルにあるような仮設トイレです。
周囲にお店がないのでトイレの心配する人がいるかもしれないと思ったので情報として入れておきます。
大きな荷物で乗馬することはできない(荷物は待合室に置いておけます、監視カメラが付いてるので大丈夫)ので、スマホ(海辺でスタッフさんに撮影してもらう時に使う)を持ち歩く人を一名は作るといいと思います。その際はボディバッグやウエストポーチ等、乗馬の妨げにならないショルダーバッグがあると便利ですよ!
