North Shore
I drove from Honolulu.
The entrance is easy to find because there are signs.
You can take a leisurely horseback ride along the beach, and the photos turned out great with the ocean as the backdrop.
This is my third time horseback riding in Hawaii, but if you want to ride by the beach, this is the best place to go!
I apologize for sharing my experience a year later. I will make a reservation next month!
ホノルルから車で行きました。
看板があるので入口は分かりやすいです。
海辺をゆっくり乗馬しながら散歩でき、写真もとってもいい感じに、海をバッグに撮っていただけました。
ハワイの乗馬いくのはここで、3こめですが海辺を乗馬したいなら一番おすすめです!
体験談一年後になりごめんなさい。来月予約します!
Did the same dive with One Ocean last year and was so impressed I had to do this again. This time, the sharks were even more curious as to our presence and came up quite close to us at 4-5 feet distance on some pass bys. Got some incredible 4K video on the footage. Sophie and Kevin were very enthusiastic about their work and Sophie’s passion for researching sharks really shows, giving everyone information about what we saw in he water with specific characteristics and personalities of certain sharks that they frequently see. Thanks again to Sophie and Kevin and see you guys for the 3rd time hopefully soon!
Part 2 of things I want to try in life! I flew with my 18-year-old son. It was amazing. A memory I will never forget. Hawaii is a place where dreams come true! I will work hard every day so I can come back soon. Thank you for helping me realize my dreams.
人生やってみたいことのパート2!18歳になった息子と
飛んでみました。サイコーです。一生忘れない思い出です。ハワイは夢を叶える場所!またすぐ戻ってこれるよう、毎日頑張ってはたらきまーす。
夢実現のお手伝いをありがとうございました
It was my first skydiving experience with my two daughters. My daughter was feeling anxious, but thanks to the staff's excellent guidance, she was able to relax and said it was the best experience. The photos turned out great, and we were satisfied. However, it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't get a video. We left something in the car on the way back, but we were able to contact them right away, and they brought it to the pickup location, which was a great help. My daughter said she would love to do it again as many times as possible if given the chance. Thank you very much!
娘2人と初めてのスカイダイビングでした。娘が不安がっていましたがスタッフの方がうまく誘導してくれたおかげでリラックスできたようで最高の体験が出来たと喜んでいました。
写真も上手く撮れていて満足でした。ただムービーが撮れていなかったので少し残念でした。
帰りの車で忘れ物をしましたが、すぐに連絡がつきピックアップ場所まで持ってきてくださり助かりました。
機会があれば何回でもしたいと娘が言っていました。
ありがとうございました、
Finally... I was taken to a souvenir shop for black coral???
The worst!!
Everyone who participated came out empty-handed.
What was that???
You must be getting a rebate from the souvenir shop, right??
Is it the company??? Or the individual who took us there!!
As a business owner, I understand everything. (This is my advice)
I always use your company.
Next time, if there are no issues like this, I will use you again!!
最後に・・・黒サンゴ???のお土産屋さんに連れていかれた!!
最悪!!
参加した人が全員手ぶらで出て来ました。
あれは???
お土産さんからリベート頂いてますよね!!
会社か???連れてった個人がね!!
私は経営者だからすべてわかります。(私からのアドバイスです)
いつも貴社を使わして頂いてます。
次回は???こんな事がなければ使いますけどね!!
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
However, we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a satisfactory service.
Upon confirming with the local operating company, we received a report that we made a stop for a restroom break at a location called Tropical Farms, which sells macadamia nuts and is situated between Turtle Bay Resort and the hotel. We appreciate your understanding that this was used as a restroom break.
Thank you for your valuable feedback during your busy schedule.

What a totally enjoyable day. Well worth it. I recommend getting the group guided tour inside the Center to save time and get a better experience.
Compared to some ranches, there are hardly any Japanese people, and if you're okay with only English, I highly recommend it! The location is North Shore, just a few minutes by car from Giovanni's. After the activities, you can enjoy sightseeing in Haleiwa and also try garlic shrimp, so definitely go for it!
某牧場と比べて、日本人はほぼいないし、英語のみでも大丈夫なら非常にオススメです!場所はノースショア、ジョバンニから車で数分です。アクティビティ後にハレイワ観光、ガーリックシュリンプも楽しめるので是非!
The 90-minute Polynesian show featured Tahitian dance, hula, and fire knife performances woven into an emotional story, and it went by in a flash. The intensity of the fire knife performance was truly moving. If I come to Oahu again, I definitely want to see it once more.
90分のポリネシアンショーは感動的なストーリーの中にタヒチアンダンスやフラ、そしてファヤーナイフと次々に繰り出され、あっという間でした。ファヤーナイフの迫力は本当に感動ものです。
オアフ島に来たら、またぜひ観たいと思います。
This is wonderful! Even though it started raining halfway through the ride, we continued and it was just amazing! I hadn’t ridden since I was a child, so I was very happy with the gentle horse they gave me.
The hotel pickup and the explanation of skydiving were provided in Japanese, which was very clear and helpful. I really enjoyed the skydiving; it was very thrilling.
ホテルのピックアップもスカイダイビングの説明も日本語でしていただき、大変わかりやすく良かったです。
スカイダイビングもとてもスリリングで楽しみました。
I participated with my mother, and it was incredibly fun. The pickup location was very crowded with various departing guests, and after waiting for 20 minutes thinking the driver would arrive soon, I ended up calling and finally met the driver. It was my mistake not to notice that they were calling for me; I should have called after 10 minutes as it suggested. I ended up inconveniencing the other guests who were waiting on the bus. The driver seemed to be searching hard for me, and when we met, he greeted me with a smile, which made me very happy. Even if you're away from the pickup spot, you should immediately check if a flashy van stops, as "ZIP-LINE" is written in large letters on the vehicle. On the way, I enjoyed the coastal scenery, delicious bananas, tomatoes, and macadamia nuts that I cracked open myself. The zip line experience included climbing and descending on a rope bridge, going in various directions, and I absolutely recommend it!
母と親子参加、最高に楽しかったです。
ピックアップの場所が様々出発される方で大混雑、もうすぐ来るかと20分経ち結局電話をかけやっとドライバーさんに会えました。
呼んでくれていたのに気づかなかった私のミス、10分経っても来なかったら電話と書いてあるのでそうすべきでした。
バスで待たされた他の方に迷惑をかけてしまいました。
ドライバーさんは一生懸命探してくれていたようで、会った時は笑顔で迎えてくれとても嬉しかったです。
ピックアップ場所から離れていても派手なバンが止まったら即確認すべきです、車体には大きくZIP-LINEと書いてあります。
到着までも海沿いの景色を楽しみ、美味しいバナナ、トマト、自分で割って食べるマカダミアナッツ、つり橋にロープでの昇り降り、長短、後ろ向き、逆さでのジップライン体験、絶対におすすめ!!
I was very satisfied to finally be able to go skydiving, which I had always wanted to try. The time spent was long, but the experience was so incredible that I forgot about it.
ずっとしてみたかったスカイダイビングをすることができて大満足です。拘束時間は長いですが、そのことを忘れるほどの体験ができました。
My first skydiving experience was exhilarating! The view was beautiful, and the refreshing feeling blew away my worries! There were staff members who spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease. I want to do it again!
初めてのスカイダイビング、爽快でした!
景色も綺麗で悩みも吹っ飛ぶ爽快感!
日本語が話せるスタッフの方もみえたので安心でした。
またやりたいです!
Until the parachute opened, I experienced the wind, and after it opened, I enjoyed the scenery without any fear at all. The instructor was cheerful and friendly, which really boosted my spirits. I received a lot of help from VELTRA. Even though I made some unreasonable requests, like changing my schedule and asking for the video after returning home, I received polite responses every time, for which I am very grateful. Looking at the photos and videos reminds me of Hawaii, and I've decided to go again next time.
パラシュートが開くまでは風を体感し、開いてからは景色を楽しみ、恐怖は全くなかったです。
インストラクターは明るく気さくで気分を盛り上げてくれました。
VELTRAさんにはかなりお世話になりました。日程変更、帰国してからビデオ欲しくなったから送ってほしいなど無理なお願いをいくつかしてしまったにもかかわらず、毎回丁寧な返事をいただき、感謝感謝です。
写真、ビデオを見てはハワイを思い出し、次回もまた行こうと決めました。
This is a great place to learn about all the Polynesian islands aside from Hawaii. The only thing .. I would've liked for my son to have had more of a hands on experience with the different activities the center offers within each island. We had the ambassador pass and the tour took us quickly from island to island not really giving us a chance to engage in the activities. Or maybe I just thought it would be like the experience I had when I visited back in 2003. Regardless, the night show, Ha .. the breath of life, is a fantastic way to close anyone's night with a memory that will be treasured for a lifetime.
The experience at an altitude of 4,000 meters, which is quite rare, was absolutely amazing. The sounds of ascending into the sky and the vibrations heightened my excitement; it was truly wonderful. However, there was one issue: I could hardly speak any English, and the instructor didn't speak Japanese, so we couldn't communicate at all. I believe that if I had understood more English and could have talked during the dive, it would have been an even more fantastic experience.
なかなか体験出来ない高度4000メートルはとても最高でした。
空へ上る音や揺れも、緊張度を高めてくれる、素晴らしいものでした。
ただ、一点だけ、自分が英語をほとんど話せず、インストラクターの方が日本語を話せないので、全くコミュニケーションが取れませんでした。
きっと、英語をもっと理解して、飛んでいる最中もお話出来たら、もっと素敵なダイビングだったと思いました。
Tori enhanced the tour with her energy and knowledge! The stop at Fumi’s was my favorite. There just happened to be several hula dancers and a musician that sang for a couple that got engaged. The shrimp was ono! The ube popsicle, too! Waimea Falls was also a treat. There was even a Farmers Market with local fruit and food. Gotta try the ice cream bananas. So good!
I always enjoyed horseback riding in the canyon, but this time I participated in beach horseback riding. The seaside views were amazing, and I was very satisfied with this experience.
Along the way, I was able to shop in the town of Haleiwa and was introduced to a different delicious garlic shrimp place, allowing for a leisurely exploration that left me very satisfied. I would love to participate again.
いつも渓谷の乗馬を楽しんでいましたが、今回は海辺乗馬に参加させて頂きました。海辺の景色は最高で、こちらも大満足でした。
途中にハレイワの街で買い物したり、ガーリックシュリンプの今までとは違う別の美味しいお店を紹介して頂いたりと自由に散策出来て大満足でした。また参加させて頂きたいと思います。
Thank you for participating. Riding along the shoreline with the ocean breeze is our recommended plan to experience Hawaii 100%. I'm glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to seeing you again next time.
ご参加ありがとうございました。
潮風に吹かれてショアラインで進む乗馬は、ハワイを100%体感で当社のお勧めプランです。楽しんで頂けてよかったです。次回又お目にかかれるようお待ちしてます。
Very informative. The staff were very nice and helpful. We went on a rainy day and performers did continue the parade. So cool. it felt authenitic .Luau was fun. Got to eat from the pig. Tasty. yum. We went as a couple. Cant wait to bring the kids on the next trip.
The first activity I did when I arrived in Hawaii was this one. The instructor was very friendly and managed to keep the energy up even though I didn't understand the language. I was also able to fully enjoy the Hawaiian scenery, and I am very satisfied. The character of the older employee was also very amusing.
ハワイに着いて一番はじめにこのアクティビティをやりました。
インストラクターもとても気さくで、言葉が分からないなりに盛り上げてくれました。さらにハワイの景色を満喫でき、とても満足しています。
従業員のおじいちゃんのキャラもとても面白かったです。
I took bus number 55 from Ala Moana Center, and it took about just under two hours to arrive. I checked the map for the bus stop where I needed to get off, and the driver helped me when I was getting off. There were two of us who experienced horseback riding; we had tried it about a year ago at Kualoa Ranch. This time, I chose Gunstock Ranch because they had a longer plan available. The horses were very easy to handle, and although there were times they didn't listen, the guide was quick to help. When we reached the top of the mountain, the view was stunning, and we were able to take commemorative photos, which made me very satisfied. I would love to experience this again if I have the chance! ☺︎︎
アラモアナセンターから55番のバスに乗り、到着までは約2時間弱程でした。降りるバス停は地図で確認しながら向かい、降りる時に運転手の方に教えてもらいました。乗馬体験をしたのは2人で、1年ほど前にクアロアランチで乗馬を体験しました。ガンストック牧場の方が時間が長いプランがあったので今回はこちらを選ばせていただきました。馬はとても扱いやすく、時々言うことを聞かない時がありましたが、ガイドの方がすぐにヘルプをしてくれました。山の頂上まで登ると、すごく景色が綺麗で、記念写真を撮ってもらえて大満足です。また機会があったら体験したいです☺︎︎
My wife and daughters (13 and 15) and I went riding at Gunstock Ranch. Booking online was a breeze, and our wrangler Kate was ready and waiting for us when we arrived. She efficiently set us up on our horses and went over basic riding skills. The horses were very healthy and well behaved. Kate took us on a 90 min ride around the ranch, stopping for a very scenic photo op at the top of the hill. The experience was wonderful, very organized and enjoyable. We will definately visit Gunstock again if we return to Oahu!
Aloha Bob, Thank you for the wonderful review and for sharing your experience at Gunstock. We would love to see you and your family again!
My family and I went to Gunstock Ranch for the 90 min ride. Our wrangler was Kate who was amazing! She took some time to aquaint us with our horses and determine our level of skill. Our horses were very well behaved, absolutely beautiful and healthy. Once we were all set, we headed on up the trail! Kate was very knowledgeable about the Ranch and Oahu history even though she had only been working there for 3 weeks. The ride was very peaceful and enjoyable. The view at the top was breathtaking, and Kate took a beautiful family photo for us at the top.
We would definately go back if we visit Oahu again!
Aloha Terri,
We love hearing about your experience and the things you enjoyed while riding with us. We hope you come again! Mahalo for the kind review.
We traveled from downtown Honolulu via hotel shuttle, which took about an hour and a half, so it's quite far from Honolulu. We arrived at the venue around the evening, where there was a buffet-style dinner in the cultural center. The design of this venue was quite elaborate, reminiscent of restaurants at Universal Studios Japan or Disney. There were a few waiters who spoke Japanese.
Inside the cultural center, there are also souvenir shops, snack stands, and juice shops. However, after dinner, there wasn't much time before the dance show, so we couldn't explore thoroughly.
The traditional dance show featured modern elements, creating a lively experience that was quite impressive. The audience seemed to be almost full. The proportion of Japanese attendees was lower than I expected. Photography with smartphones was prohibited during the dance show.
On the return bus, it felt like there were many Europeans and locals. It's important to note that we had to take a different bus on the way back, so we needed to pay close attention to what the tour guide said on the way there to avoid being left behind. The bus gathering time was right after the show, so we headed straight to the bus stop. I was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep on the way back, but it became a wonderful memory with my girlfriend.
ホノルル市内からホテルバス送迎にて移動、1時間半くらいの移動なのでホノルルからはだいぶ離れたところにあります。現地に着いたのは夕方頃、カルチャーセンター内の夕食会場でバイキング形式の物でした。この会場の造りがなかなか凝ったものでした。USJやディズニーのレストランみたいな感じです。ウェイターさんで日本語が通じる人が数人います。
他にカルチャーセンター内にはお土産屋さんや軽食、ジュース屋さんなどが立ち並んでいます。
ですが夕食後、ダンスショーまであまり時間がなかったためじっくりは観れませんでした。
伝統的なダンスショーに近代的な仕掛けが融合しライブのような感じで見応えのあるものでした。客席もほぼ埋まっていたように思います。
日本人の割り合いは思っていたよりも少なかったです。
ダンスショー中はスマホなどで撮影は禁止とのことです。
帰りのバスは欧州系の人や現地の人が多いような気がしました。
この帰りのバスなのですが行きとは違うバスに乗るので行きの添乗員さんに言われたことをよく聞いておかないと現地に取り残されてしまいますので注意が必要です。ショーが終わってからバスの集合時間はすぐなので直でバス乗り場へ。帰りのバスは疲れて爆睡でしたが彼女との良い思い出になりました。
This was my first trip to Hawaii with my mother, and I wanted to see various places, so I joined this tour. I found it very interesting that even in different countries within the same area, the cultures vary slightly. We had a great time with experiences like crafting, hula dancing, and meals included.
今回は母親と初めてのハワイだったこともあって、色々なところを見て見たかったので、このツアーに参加しました。
同じエリアの違う国によっても、少しずつ文化が違うことがすごく興味深かったです。物作り体験や、フラダンス、食事までついて来てとても楽しむことができました。
I had my first horseback riding experience in Hawaii, and it was a wonderful memory, especially being by the beach. The guide was kind and shared various information about Hawaii. I appreciated that we stopped at places not included in the plan. The guide also taught us the rules of horseback riding, so even as a beginner, I could enjoy it without any worries. If I have the chance again, I would love to participate.
ハワイで初めての乗馬でしかも海辺での体験でとてもよい思い出が出来ました。ガイドさんも親切で、ハワイのいろんな情報も教えて頂きました。プランにない場所も寄ってくれてよかったです。乗馬のルールやなんかもガイドさんからも教えてくれるし、初心者でも心配することなく楽しめました。また、機会があれば、参加したいです。
Thank you very much.
We look forward to your next participation. We also have the canyon course available.
ありがとうございました。
次回のご参加、お待ちしております。溪谷コースもご用意してますよ。
It may seem scary, but I strongly recommend it as it will definitely become a great travel memory! I asked a photographer to take pictures, and he was very friendly and cool, so I plan to brag about it to my friends!
怖いと思いますが、やった方が絶対に良い旅の思い出になるので強くオススメします!
自分はカメラマンに撮影をお願いしたのですが、とてもフレンドリーでカッコよく友達にも自慢しようと思ってます!
The experience itself was very good, but if I had to be picky, it would have been even better if there had been a "photo time" of about 5-10 minutes. It’s difficult to take pictures while riding the horse, so when we took a break on the beach, I handed my smartphone or camera to the instructor, who took some photos for me, but I couldn't get the pictures I really wanted. That was a bit disappointing.
Also, the rental helmets had a slight odor, so I think it would be a good idea to bring a portable deodorizing spray if you're concerned about that.
体験自体はとても良かったのですが、欲を言えば、「写真タイム」を5-10分程度設けて頂くとさらに良かったです。馬に乗って歩き進む途中で自分で撮るのは難しいので、ビーチで一時休んだときにインストラクターさんにスマホなりカメラなり渡せば写真を撮ってくれましたが、それだと自分好みの写真を撮れません。それだけが少し残念でした。
また、レンタルのヘルメットは若干臭いましたので、気になる方は携帯用消臭スプレーなどお持ちになると良いと思います。
The view of the ocean from way up high was magnificent!
While ascending in the airplane, the instructor, perhaps to ease the tension, pointed out a whale and played pranks on other instructors to make us laugh.
Since the skydiving site was at a high altitude, it was so cold while waiting for the plane that I almost forgot I was in Hawaii.
I recommend bringing a fall or winter jacket.
Once we were in the air, I didn’t mind the cold.
If you wear something like a polo shirt with a collar that flaps strongly, you might get bruising where the fabric touches your skin (like on your neck with the collar).
I think it’s better to fold it inward or wear a T-shirt.
遥か上から見る海は壮大でした!
飛行機で上昇中、インストラクターさんが緊張をほぐすためか、鯨だよと教えてくれたり、他のインストラクターさんにイタズラして笑わせてくれました。
標高の高い場所にスカイダイビング場があったため、飛行機を待つ間はハワイにいることを忘れるほど寒かったです。
秋冬物の上着を持っていくことをおすすめします。
飛んでからは寒さは気になりませんでした。
ポロシャツの襟など強くはためくものを着ていると、布の当たる場所(襟の場合は首)に内出血が起こります。
内側に折るか、Tシャツが良いかとおもいます。
I was very anxious since it was my first time, but the instructor was kind and taught me well, so I really enjoyed it. Skydiving in the amazing place of Hawaii was fantastic, and I highly recommend it. However, my friend got a bit nauseous towards the end, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some anti-nausea medication.
初めてだったのでとても不安はありましたが、
インストラクターの方が優しく教えてくれてとても楽しめました。ハワイという最高の地でのスカイダイビングは最高で本当にお勧めします。ただ、わたしの友達が最後の方酔ってしまっていたので、酔いやすい方は酔いどめを飲むことを勧めます。
