North Shore Hiking Tours from Haleiwa with Expert Local Guide & Lunch

Aloha! Bring your hiking shoes!

Reviewed by: Stoner

If your family is into the outdoors and adventure that is totally off the beat and path, book this tour. It is exclusive as the park is not accessible to the public. So you know, our family age ranges from 13 to 51. It was breathtaking- literally - not only from the views, but from the hiking. We hiked up the mountain trails crossing streams.
Our guides, Nui and Holly we very knowledgeable not only with the history but the plants and trees of the land.
The treat was to hike to a secluded pond and jump into the cool waters! Wow!
A bit of advice, wear comfortable shoes and water shoes are a must! Crossing the streams can be a bit challenging, as are some areas during the hike. Definitely grab a walking stick. It is about a 6 mile hike, 3 up and 3 back. All was about 6 hours.
Lunch is provided and we packed extra water. Nui and Holly were hands on assisting the entire hike. Awesome people! Mahalo!

I came to Hawaii, but... ハワイに来たのに…

Reviewed by: gisele0612

In the morning, we gathered at Aloha Landing, but although we were supposed to meet at 8:05, some people arrived late at the same spot. Since we were scheduled to depart at 8:15, it wasn't a significant delay...

After picking up everyone from other locations, we set off for the North Shore. After driving for a while on the highway, we arrived at the park famous for the "This Tree, What Tree" Hitachi commercial. We could see it from outside, but it costs $3 to enter, and since the restrooms were inside the park, we reluctantly paid the $3. Our stay was short at just 15 minutes, and I didn't feel it was worth the $3. We took some photos while we were there, and the driver actively took pictures for us as well.

After 15 minutes, we departed for our next destination, the Dole Plantation. The guide was introducing famous spots along the way, but since we were on the highway, the engine noise made it impossible to hear the guide's voice. Even though I wanted to hear the explanations, I couldn't say anything because our seats were predetermined.

At the Dole Plantation, we had 30 minutes of free time. We enjoyed the famous pineapple soft serve and looked at souvenirs before heading to the meeting point. When it was time to gather, not everyone was present, and the guide didn't seem to be looking for them. Eventually, everyone assembled, and we set off for the next destination, the town of North Shore.

Upon arriving in the town of North Shore, the guide gave a brief introduction while driving, and then we were free to explore for 3.5 hours. The town had a charming old-fashioned atmosphere and was very beautiful, but after eating the famous garlic chicken, I was too full to try the other local specialty, Matsumoto Shave Ice. If you want to try Matsumoto Shave Ice, be prepared to either buy one and share, as they are quite large, or narrow down your choices beforehand.

Although I didn't have the shave ice, I looked at the goods being sold there. Others gathered with the guide at 12:30 to head to eat shrimp caught in North Shore, but we were too full, so we took a walk to the beach. Originally, I had brought my swimsuit because I read online that you could play in the North Shore sea, but the guide didn't mention anything about that, and when we got to the beach, we were told to be careful not to get our feet wet, so it didn't seem like we could go in, and I gave up on that idea.

We looked at the beach, rested in the shade, and unlike Waikiki, we saw locals enjoying canoeing. It was very relaxing and heartwarming. To avoid being late for the 1:30 meeting time, we returned to the meeting point a bit early and waited for the bus. Once everyone gathered, we set off to see the sea turtles.

On the bus, we were told several times that since they are natural creatures, they might not be there. According to another group that had gone ahead, they mentioned that there might not be any today. After a short drive, we parked on the side of the road, and we were dropped off to see if we could find them between the palm trees leading to the beach, but there were no sea turtles. Our stay here was 15 minutes. After about 15 minutes, we were told, "That's too bad," and we departed.

I had previously learned from the internet and information sources that there is a beach where sea turtles can be seen with high probability, but that beach was about 1 kilometer behind the beach we were taken to, and since it wasn't on the route, we were told that they usually are there, but we were just unlucky this time. I felt like we were treated casually, which made me feel even more uncomfortable.

We drove straight back to Waikiki, and perhaps because I was feeling disappointed and uncomfortable, I was very tired and went straight back to the hotel.

朝、アロハランディングに集合したが、8:05に集合のはずが同じ所に集合の人が遅れて現れた。
8時5分集合で8時15分出発なので特に大きな遅れではなかったが…

ほかのピックアップ場所を回り全員揃ったのでノースショアに向けて出発。
高速道路に入りしばらく走らせた後「この木なんの木」の日立のCMで有名な公園に到着。外からも見えたが入園するのに3ドルかかるそうで初めは私達は入る予定がなかったがトイレが園内のためやむなく3ドルを支払った。滞在時間は15分と短く3ドル払う価値を感じられなかった。
せっかくなので写真を撮っておいた。ドライバーさんも積極的に写真を撮ってくれた。
15分が経ち次の目的地のドールプランテーションに向けて出発。道中ガイドが有名どころの紹介をしていたが、高速道路を走っていたため車内のエンジン音の音でがいどの声が全く聞こえなかった。ガイドの説明を聞きたくても席は初めに決まっていたため何も言う事が出来なかった。
ドールプランテーション内ではフリータイムプランのため滞在時間が30分。名物のパイナップルソフトクリームを食べたりお土産を見たりして時間のため集合場所に向かった。時間になっても全員集まらずガイドも探しに行く様子もなく全員が集合し、次の目的地のノースショアの街へ向けて出発。

ノースショアの街につき、ガイドが車を走らせながら軽く街の案内をし、フリータイムのため解散。フリープランはここでの滞在時間は3時間半。ノースショアの街は古い感じの街並みでとても綺麗だったが、名物のフリフリチキンを食べ、お腹が膨れてしまったため、もう一つの名物の松本シェーブアイスは食べることができなかった。松本シェーブアイスを食べたい方は、一つでもかなりの量なので、残す覚悟で買うか、食べたいものを事前に絞ることをおすすめする。

シェーブアイスを食べなかったが、そこで売られてるグッズを見たりした。ほかの人がガイドと共に12時半に集合し、もう一つの名物のノースショアで取れたエビを食べに車で向かって行ったが、私達はお腹がいっぱいだったため、ビーチまで散歩した。もともと、ノースショアの海で遊べるのかとインターネットで紹介があったので水着を持って行ったが、そんな説明もガイドからはなく、ビーチへ行っても足を濡らさないように気をつけてと言われ、入れる雰囲気ではなかったので諦めた。
ビーチを見て、少し日陰で休み、ワイキキとは違って地元民がカヌーなどを楽しんでいた。とてもほのぼのとしていて、リラックスできた。
集合の1時半にに遅れないため少し早めに集合場所へ戻り、バスを待った。そして全員が集まり、最後のウミガメを見に出発した。

バス内で何度か相手は自然のものだから居るとは限らない。先に行ったほかのグループの話によれば今日はいないかもしれないと話があった。と説明され、少し車を走らせた所に路駐し私達のみを降ろし、ヤシの木の間からビーチに出れば居るかもしれないとはなされ見に行ったが、ウミガメは居なかった。ここでの滞在時間は15分。約15分してすぐに残念でしたねーと言って出発。
インターネットやインフォメーションで聞いた所、ウミガメが高確率で見られるビーチがあることを事前に知っていたが、そのビーチは私達が下されたビーチの約1キロ後ろにあって、そこに行くのは順路では無いからと、帰り道の適当な所でいつもは居るんだよ、今回は運が悪かったねと言い、適当に扱われたと感じ、さらに不快な気分になった。

ひたすら車を走らせワイキキへ到着し、期待はずれや不快な気分になっていたからかとても疲れ、真っ直ぐホテルへ帰った。

North Shore Hiking Tours from Haleiwa with Expert Local Guide & Lunch

North Shore Hike

Reviewed by: Ashley

I live here on the island and do a good amount of hiking. I thought this hike was pretty cool! Our guide, Nui, was extremely knowledgeable about the Hawaiian culture and plants in the area. The trail has TONS of strawberry guava and mountain apple trees along it. He pointed out plants that were native. He also pointed out the invasive plants, the problems they cause, and how or why they were brought here. It was very interesting! What made this hike special for me was is that we were hiing deep into the mountains where there aren't any houses or sign of urban development in view. This is quite rare for me. Most of the hikes I've done, known or less known, have some area that shows a city or buildings or concrete structures. Nui also stopped at a campsite to let us get some beautiful scenic pictures. This was my favorite part of the trip. The view of rows of ridges and the valley that we were hiking in was breathtaking.

The best horseback riding experience. 最高の乗馬体験

Reviewed by: Ken

Last year, I went horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, but the course and scenery were monotonous, and it felt more like just "riding a horse." However, this valley horseback riding plan was full of ups and downs and varied landscapes, making it exciting and thrilling throughout. At Happy Trails, all the support comes from local natives, and they provide explanations and instructions in advance, as well as communicate in simple English, so I think anyone can enjoy it with peace of mind. Just keep in mind that time passes according to Hawaiian time, so that's something to be aware of. The Moanalua Gardens and Dole Plantation included in the tour are just for a brief visit. In particular, Moanalua Gardens requires a $3 entrance fee, so we didn't go in. We couldn't see any turtles due to the weather, but that's just how it goes.

During our lunch break while exploring Haleiwa, we had burgers at Kua Aina near the meeting point and the classic shave ice at Matsumoto Grocery Store, which left us with little time. I wanted to explore for about another hour, so I deducted one star for that. If you're a repeat visitor to Oahu, renting a car might be better, but for those of us with less experience, participating in this tour with the guide's explanations was very worthwhile.

　昨年はクアロアランチで乗馬をしましたが、コースも景色も単調でただ”馬に乗った”と言う感じが強かったのですが、この渓谷乗馬プランは起伏や景観が変化に富み、飽きるどころかわくわく、どきどきの連続でした。　ハッピートレイルズでは全て現地のNativeの方がサポートされますが、事前に注意事項などを説明書きで教えていただけるし、簡単な英語で対応してくれますので、どなたでも安心して楽しめると思います。　ただ、過ぎゆく時間はハワイ時間なので、その辺はご愛敬。　ツアーに含まれるモアルアナガーデンやドールプランテーションはお付き合い程度。特にモアルアナガーデンは$3必要なので、私たちは入りませんでした。　天候の関係で亀には会えませんでしたが、こればかりは仕方有りませんね。
　昼食も兼ねたハレイワ散策では、解散場所近くのクア・アイナでハンバーガーを、マツモトグロサリーストアで定番のシェイブアイスを食べて時間が無くなりました。　後1Hぐらい散策したかったので、★一つ減点です。　オアフリピーターの方ならレンタカーの方が良いかもしれませんが、経験の浅い我々はガイドさんの説明含めたこのツアーに参加してとても良かったと思います。

Very satisfied. 大満足

Reviewed by: 荻野健一

I am very satisfied. The response was quick; although I received a notification that there was an issue, the follow-up was good. I was a bit flustered for a moment, but it turned out to be a very enjoyable tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, sharing information about the town's scenery, the timing of the flowers, and their names, which I found impressive. There was plenty of time, and the price was reasonable, so I highly recommend it. I participated in another tour as well, but due to a mix-up, I accidentally booked the same option twice. When I contacted them via email after the tour, they promptly processed a refund, which was touching. I would like to request this tour company again next year and beyond.

大満足です。
すばやい対応、１回NGと連絡が来たがその後の対応もよく
一瞬あせりましたが、非常に楽しいツアーになりました。
ツアーガイドの方も、町並みや、花の時期や名前まで教えていただき
懇切丁寧で関心しました。
時間もたっぷりあり、料金も安くておすすめです。
別のツアーにも参加しましたが、手違いでオプションをダブってしまい。
ツアー終了後にメールで連絡したらすぐに返金までしていただき
感激でした。
このツアー会社なら来年以降もまたお願いしたいと思っています。

Reviewed by: なおママ

The guide's talk was amazing! I've lived in Hawaii for a long time, so my Japanese is a bit shaky and there were many parts I didn't fully understand, but despite that, the talk was super fast-paced and packed with content! He kept using phrases like "～うんぬん," which I rarely hear anymore! I really enjoyed it (laughs). I learned about things and history that I would have completely overlooked if I had gone on my own, and it was truly fun. I want to participate again when I go back to Hawaii.

ガイドのおじさんのトークが最高でした！　　　ハワイ在住が長いので日本語が怪しくよく分からないところも多かったのですが、その割には超高速トークで内容が濃い！　「～うんぬん」なんて滅多に聞かなくなった言葉を連発！楽しませてもらいました(笑)
個人で行ったら全く素通りしてしまう事や歴史なんかも教えてもらって、本当に楽しかったです。またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。

Someone mentioned in the comments that the quality of the tour depends on the weather and the guide, and I truly felt that was the case! Our guide, U, provided wonderful explanations and was very considerate. Although the vehicle was full, it turned out to be a fun and fulfilling day.

The canyon horseback riding at Happy Trails was my first experience, and I was nervous, but I would love to try it again. We had lunch at Mackey's, and unexpectedly had time for shopping in Haleiwa, making it a truly lovely tour. Thank you very much!

どなたかの感想欄に、ツアーの良し悪しは、天気とガイド次第とありましたが、その通りだと実感！ガイドUさんは、丁寧な説明と気遣いも素晴らしく、車は満員でしたが、楽しく充実した一日となりました。

It was content unique to the tour. ツアーならではの内容でした

Reviewed by: kmo

On the day of the event, which was a Sunday, traffic was expected to be heavy, but thanks to the local guide's coordination and flexible response, the experience was packed with delicious highlights. Additionally, at the request of the participants, we made an unexpected stop at a coffee farm on the way back, where I was able to get coffee that can't be found in Waikiki.

I was nervous about horseback riding for the first time, but there were no issues at all! I thoroughly enjoyed the extraordinary views from the horse's back and was very satisfied.

参加当日は日曜日ということもあり渋滞が予想されましたが、現地ガイドさんの采配と臨機応変な対応により、おいしいところが凝縮された内容でした。また、参加者のリクエストで帰る途中、予定になかったコーヒーファームにも寄っていただきワイキキでは買えないコーヒーを入手できました。
初めての乗馬で緊張しましたが、まったく問題なし！馬の背中から非日常の景色を楽しめて大満足です。

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

Perfect setup if you want to do North Shore, but Not sure what activities

Reviewed by: John A

My wife and I were staying in Waikiki for a week and everyone said we need to make a trip to the North Shore when on Oahu. We scoured Trip Advisor, Yelp and other Hawaii Adventure sites and this one looked appealing. Turns out to be a great deal if you are looking for transportation to the North Shore and a variety of options to choose from once you get there. We chose to snorkel in the mornng at Sharks Cove then spend an hour at Waimea Bay, then in the afternoon we did the SUP down the river in Halewia.
The tour is setup where they pick you up on a ~20 person bus from multiple Waikiki hotels, then up a narrated drive up to the North Shore which took about 1 1/2 hours all together. Sam was our host for the day and is awesome at his job. Very knowledgable, humourous and makes the tour a good time. Once you are there, you get to see the options for the day such as hanging at the beach of Waimea Bay, surfing, snorkeling, beach bike cruise, Waimea Botanical Gardens, stand up paddle boarding and probably a few others options that I am missing. There is no additional cost to do these unless you want to do more than two. If there was one draw back for the day, it was that we could have enjoyed a few more hours on the beach and shopping at the local surf shops there.
Overall, great trip and glad we did it!

North Shore Hiking Tours from Haleiwa with Expert Local Guide & Lunch

Eco tours hike was informative and very nice

Reviewed by: Dan and Denise

Me and and my girlfriend both liked the young guides who picked us up at the North Shore Marketplace parking lot. It was just us two so we felt very privilidged. The Hawaiian guide drove for about 20 min through many farms and got to know much abut them and who owned them, unfortunately much of the land were rented by Monsantos. Part of the drive was very bumpy but became much better when we got unto the military roads. The hike was not that hard mostly because the water wasn´t that high this time. It was partly slippery but our sneekers was enough to manage it. There were some very niice sceneries and crossig over the river and the mountain pool swim at the summit was very pleasent and just what we needed after a 2.5 hours hike. We got to use helmets but just for a very short time. The lunch was two wraps each and was more than enough for us.
The hawaiian native guide told us much about the the hawaiian culture and the problems hawaiians have had keeping their language alive. We also got to know about much about the different plants and trees, and the tight bond to nature hawaiina have had, he also made a hawaiian chant to the forrest when we just started the hike which was very nice to hear. We would recommend this hike to all our friends.

I want to do it again! またやりたい！

Reviewed by: らんらん

I was torn between horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, but it turned out to be the right choice.

The 90-minute ride was quite fulfilling.

There were a total of eight people: two Japanese couples and four from an Asian family.

With staff positioned at the front and back, there's no need to worry if the horses take a detour or lag behind, as they guide you along the way.

We rode in a line through the forest, and the forest bathing felt wonderful. At the end, we were moved to see the ocean. They also took plenty of photos with our cameras.

Overall, since we were with others participating in different activities, there was a bit of wasted time. We stopped at places that weren't necessary to visit.

A package that includes just horseback riding and free time in Haleiwa Town would be great.

クアロア牧場での乗馬と迷いましたが、こちらで大正解でした。
９０分の乗馬はかなり乗り応えあります。

全部で８人。
日本人２人×２組、アジアのファミリー４。

先頭と最後尾に、スタッフがつく形なので、
途中でお馬さんが寄り道したり、遅くなったりしても、
誘導してくれるので心配いりません。

列になって、森の中を進んでいきます。
森林浴がとても気持ちいいです♪
最後に海が見えてきて、感動です。
写真も自分たちのカメラでいっぱいとってくれました。


全体としては、
他のアクティビティーに参加する人と一緒なので、
まあまあ時間のロスがあります。
行かなくていいとこにも寄ります。

ハレイワタウンでのフリータイムと乗馬だけのセットだといいです。

I participated with my 9-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter. All three of us have riding licenses, but there were no other horseback riding options available due to age, height, and transportation. The tour included various activities such as horseback riding, encountering sea turtles, visiting a pineapple farm, seeing the "What Tree Is That?" tree, and sightseeing in Haleiwa Town, making it an incredibly fun experience. Our dream of horseback riding together as a family came true, and we also got to enjoy delicious garlic shrimp in Haleiwa Town, which left us truly satisfied. The Japanese male guide and the American women at the ranch were very kind and took many photos for us, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

９歳の息子、１１歳の娘と私の３人で参加しました。

It became an unforgettable trip. 忘れられない旅になりました

Reviewed by: ルルさん

I had some anxiety about driving a rental car, so I joined this tour. On the day of the tour, there were 11 participants. I was a bit concerned about the old shuttle van and the unusable seat belts, but the explanations from our experienced Japanese guide were knowledgeable and diverse, making the journey feel like an enriching study session. The stop at the Dole Plantation, where we saw the "This is a tree" tree, was only about 20 minutes, so I recommend a different schedule for those who want to stay longer, but we didn't feel it was particularly short.

As we headed north along the North Shore, the guide explained the coastal scenery, and we split into two groups for free time in Haleiwa and horseback riding (the horseback riding group also had about 50 minutes of free time). We were taken to Macky's for garlic shrimp and were shown the main shops, making the short time quite fulfilling.

I was very anxious as a beginner with little explanation or guidance during the beach horseback riding, but there were seven of us in a line and another instructor accompanying us, who helped calm the horses and taught us how to hold the reins, allowing me to enjoy the ride. The beautiful scenery along the beach was breathtaking! It was about a 45-minute ride, but it was an unforgettable experience.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any turtles on the sandy beach, but our persistent guide took us to a spot where we could see swimming turtles, using what seemed to be a local information network. I am grateful for that.

We returned to Honolulu before 4 PM, so we were able to go out afterward and had a meaningful day. It may indeed be a busy schedule, but I think this tour is packed with the joys of the North Shore and is enjoyable for everyone. I sincerely thank our guide, Syozou.

　レンタカーの運転に不安があり、このツアーに参加しました。
　当日ツアーに参加したのは11名、送迎のバンが古くてシートベルトが使えないなどは気になりましたが、ベテランの日本人ガイドさんの解説が博識で多岐にわたり、道中まるで勉強会のように充実していました。「この木なんの木」とドールプランテーションはほんの20分くらいの立ち寄りなので、長居したい方は違うスケジュールのプランをお勧めしますが、我々は特に短いとも感じませんでした。
　ノースショアも海岸沿いを説明しながら北上し、ハレイワで自由行動と乗馬の二手に分かれ、(乗馬組も５０分位自由時間あり)わざわざガーリックシュリンプのＭａｃｋｙsさんに連れて行ってもらったり、主要なお店を教えてもらったりしたので短時間でもかなり充実していました。
　海辺の乗馬、説明や注意が少なくて初心者の私はとても不安でしたが、７人の隊列の前後ともう一人付添いのインストラクターがいて、道草する馬をなだめたり引き綱をおしえてもらったりで楽しく乗馬できました。ゆっくりと歩く海辺の景色の美しいこと！４５分位の乗馬でしたが忘れられない経験でした。
　残念ながら砂浜でカメを見ることはできず、諦めないガイドさんが地元の情報網を駆使していそうな浜辺に立ち寄ってくれて泳いでいるカメを見ることができました。感謝。
　ホノルルには午後４時前に戻ってきたのでその後も出かけることができ、一日を有意義に過ごすことができました。確かに忙しいスケジュールかも知れませんが、ノースショアの楽しみが凝縮された、だれでも十分に楽しめる充実のツアーだと思います。ガイドのsyozouさん？に心から感謝します。

North Shore Hiking Tours from Haleiwa with Expert Local Guide & Lunch

Educational, Cultural, & Beautiful!!!

Reviewed by: ----------RHO----

I have hiked many of the popular attractions here on Oahu like Diamond Head, Manoa Falls, and Koko Head, but they have nothing as elegant as what the Huakai Iki hike has. We booked our tour, and was informed that the check in location is at the Aloha General Store. We were greeted by our wonderful guides Keola and Holly. We started venturing off on the private roads owned by Kamehameha Schools, Bishop Estate. We had excellent views of the agricultural land, the coastline of Haleiwa, the mountain ranges of both the Ko'olaus and Waianae! We had learned so much Hawaiian historical facts, such as endemic versus native species of plants and animals, special trees and plants such as the Koa tree, ohia lehua, and the strawberry guava tree. Keola and Holly are excellent guides! The one thing that I highly valued is that you can ask them anything! They will tell you if they know about it, and if they don't they will either call you or email me and give you the answer! Many other tour guides on other hikes, tend to come up with excuses, or falsified facts. But not Keola or Holly. We had great views of the swimming pools (water ponds), nice high clouds, and wonderful native plants. This is the best hiking tour that I have been on by far. I will definitely go out with north Shore Eco Tours again, for their Huakai Nui Hike! Mahalo Keola & Holly!

I learned a lot about the history of the North Shore on this tour and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Our guides Keola and Holly were knowledgeable in Hawaiian history and culture. They have exclusive access to this trail and I highly recommend going on this tour as you will not get the chance to see the North Shore like this with anyone else. It was a real treat for me. I appreciated that Keola asked for permission to enter the hiking trail in a traditional way.The hike itself was wonderful. We saw a lovely lehua blossom on the trail! The area is home to a number of rare native trees that I will leave to you to figure the name of. This hike is not for people who are out of shape. You will get a workout on the hike! If you appreciate learning about Hawaiian culture with legitimate information shared, the natural beauty of the North Shore, and to spend a day of your vacation in nature, this hike is for you. Way better than a luau!

The horses are very well-trained and respond well. However, I think it has to be in English... (or is that just my imagination?). With just a few commands like "stop," "slowly," and "go," along with some control of the reins, they respond remarkably well. I felt that just controlling the reins alone wasn't very effective, but when I added verbal cues, they responded perfectly.

The horseback riding was so enjoyable that time flew by. I definitely want to participate again.

For North Shore tours, since there isn't much time available for riding, I highly recommend this for those who want to focus on horseback riding! That's why I give it a perfect score!!

I was able to experience more than I expected in terms of sightseeing. 額面以上の観光ができた

Although we got caught in traffic along the way, thanks to our guide's quick thinking, we took a detour and avoided a bad situation. On top of that, we were able to enjoy some great sightseeing on an unexpected route.

途中、渋滞に巻き込まれたが、ガイドさんの機転で回り道をしてひどいことは回避された。その上、予定外のコースを通っていい観光ができた。

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

The surf bus

Reviewed by: R Studley

The concept is great. Transport is reliable, clean and on time. The tour guide, Harry, was entertaining and very friendly. The only thing we would suggest is that surfing be offered as one of the activities - it is after all what the area is best known for!
I would recommend this for anyone who wants an active day.

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

North Shore Beaches Surf Bus Tour with Driver Sam

Reviewed by: The Lyons Lot

Our family of 6 adults from Brisbane Australia loved this whole day tour. Our driver / tour guide Sam picked us up from our hotel on time, & drove safely. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about Oahu, and explained all the sights on the way to the North Shore - he make the entire trip an awesome experience. He gave us a drive by & quick stop at each of the available activities before we chose them, then dropped us all to our chosen areas. 3 of us chose bike riding along the famous surfing beaches where we could stop and have beach time as we liked; the other 3 the walk through the beautiful gardens to the waterfall. Though a lovely walk, it is quite a long one, for anyone older. If you want a swim at the Falls, take cash for a compulsory life jacket hire! From there we walked back to Waimea Bay beach for a swim until our bus pick up. Our next activity for 4 of us was SUP (stand up paddle boarding) and 2 did kayaking. We LOVED this time on the water and would have liked to have a bit less time on the morning activities and more time for the afternoon ones! After, we walked through the town and sampled the Shaved Ice and some delicious lunch before boarding the bus completely satisfied with our day. We did several different tours while in Waikiki, and this was BY FAR the very best for the sightseeing, and activities on offer, plus the freedom to have our own time was fantastic. We were REALLY impressed with Sam the driver & happy to tip him well for his outstanding service - he contributed in a big way to making it the best tour during our time in Hawaii. Thank you Sam! I would highly recommend this tour, well worth it and we have great memories of our day.

Beach horseback riding 海辺乗馬

Reviewed by: しゅう

I think it's rare to have a horseback riding experience in such a natural setting. The paths are not overly maintained, which adds a casual and enjoyable feel. The guide provides attentive service in Japanese as you travel from the hotel to each point. There may be variations depending on traffic conditions and whether you encounter sea turtles, but it's best to participate with a relaxed mindset, keeping those factors in mind.

こんな自然の中で乗馬体験はなかなかできないと思います。整備されすぎていない道に日常的な感じがあって楽しいです。
ホテルから各ポイントまでは、ガイドさんが日本語で丁寧に対応してくれます。
交通状態よる時間的余裕の有無、海亀と遭遇できるかなど日によって左右される部分もあると思いますが、それらを了承した上で気持ちにゆとりをもって参加されるのがベストです。

I was able to fully enjoy places other than Waikiki. The horseback riding in the canyon is something that is hard to experience in Japan, so the kids were very satisfied. It was great that even my 9-year-old son, who is small for his age, could participate.

Reviewed by: みちやま

We used this for our honeymoon trip!
In the morning, we were picked up at the hotel and first went to the "What Tree Is That?"! We took some photos and spent about 15 minutes there, which was just right!
After that, we headed to the Dole Plantation! Since it’s a souvenir shop, we had a nice break for the restroom!
After leaving Dole, we had some free time in the town of Haleiwa! We bought coffee, ate some garlic chicken, and also had Matsumoto Shave Ice!
Just when we were satisfied, we headed for horseback riding! It was my first experience, but the horses were cute, and we could ride leisurely through the valley! I was glad to take photos with my own camera!
After that, we went to Iri Beach and encountered a honu basking in the sun!
It was a very good tour! Next time, I want to try horseback riding in the ocean too (≧∇≦)!

P.S. Our guide, Mr. Sakai, was also a nice person!

There won't be a second time. 二度はない

Reviewed by: nioi

I chose this tour because I wanted to go horseback riding by the beach and explore the town of North Shore, but based on my experiences with various other tours in Hawaii, I felt that the content for this price was frankly too high. The day started with anxiety as the tour bus did not arrive at the pickup time. It eventually showed up 10 minutes late, but the vehicle was old and dirty, and the guide spoke very quickly, making it hard to understand.

In Haleiwa, we weren't allowed to explore the town; instead, we could only take pictures in front of the food stalls while the guide bought garlic shrimp for everyone. It felt rushed throughout, and we ended up arriving back in Waikiki around 3 PM, which was a short time for a high price.

I had a coupon for garlic shrimp, and when I asked the guide to use it, he didn't cut it out or show it to the shop staff, but instead just refunded me $5. They charged the tour guests the regular price, but the guide bought it at a lower price, so he must be pocketing the difference.

For that reason, while I was satisfied with the views of the North Shore and the horseback riding by the beach, I cannot recommend this tour company.

海辺乗馬とノースの街を観光したかったため、このツアーを選んだが、ハワイで様々な他会社のツアーに参加した経験から考えると、この内容でこの値段ははっきり言って高すぎると感じた。この日は、ピックアップ時間になってもツアーのバスが来ず、不安になる朝から始まった。結局10分遅れで到着されたが、車は古くて汚いし、ガイドさんのトークは、とても早口で非常に聞き取りづらい。また、ハレイワの街では、街散策もさせてもらえず、ガーリックシュリンプをガイドさんがまとめて買う間に屋台の前で写真を撮るのみ。終始せわしなくて、結局ワイキキには15時ごろには着いていて、時間は短いのに高い。
私はガーリックシュリンプのクーポンを持っていたので、ガイドさんにこれを使って買ってくれと頼むと、そのクーポンを切り取ることもなく、お店の人にみせることもなく、5ドル返金してくれました。ツアー客からは正規の値段を取り、しかし、ガイドさんは安く買っていて、その差額はガイドさんが得ているのでしょうね。
そういうわけで、ノースの海を見たり、海辺での乗馬は景色もよくて満足だったが、このツアー会社はおすすめできません。

Horseback riding by the seaside was very relaxing. Although the horse stopped to eat grass a few times, the guide helped us along and we had a great time. There was also a couple in their 60s, so I think it's an activity that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people.

Select hiking. ハイキングをセレクト

Reviewed by: 母娘3人

For those visiting the North Shore for the first time, I think this tour, "Introduction to the North Shore by a Local Japanese Guide," is perfect. It made me want to explore the North Shore on my own in the future, perhaps by renting a car. The tree and Dole Plantation tours are geared towards children, but I believe they are great for first-time visitors.

The guide was wonderful and resourceful, taking us to two delicious garlic shrimp spots for lunch. Since the morning assembly went smoothly and we had some extra time, we stopped by a coffee shop favored by Noritake Kinashi, even though it wasn't on the tour route. Because it was a time when the waves were high and we couldn't see any turtles at the beach, the guide arranged for shopping at a shop popular with North Shore surfers and a restroom break.

We selected hiking. I heard that the hike to Waimea Valley (waterfall) takes about 20 minutes along the main road, but since we had time, we took a detour on a side path and rested in the shade on a bench along the way, enjoying a leisurely walk until it was time to be picked up.

With that, the tour concluded, and we returned to Waikiki without any traffic, feeling pleasantly tired. We were dropped off at our desired location, making for a fulfilling day even after the tour. Thank you very much!

ノースショアが初めての方には、「現地日本人ガイドによるはじめてのノースショア紹介ツアー」としてぴったりのツアーだと思います。将来レンタカーなどで自力でノースショアへ行こうと思いたくなるツアーでした。この木なんの木観光とドール農園観光は、子供さん向けではありますが、初めて訪れるには良いかと思います。
ガイドさんが素晴らしく機転の利く方で、ノースショアで美味しいガーリックシュリンプ店2か所を廻ってお昼ご飯を調達してくれたり、朝の集合がスムーズで少し時間に余裕ができたためツアーコースではないが木梨ノリタケさんお気に入りのコーヒーshopに寄ってくれたり、波が高い時期だったためビーチにカメが不在で見学する時間が取れなかった分、ノースショアサーファー御用達のショップでのお買い物＆トイレ休憩時間を作ってくれました。

私たちはハイキングをセレクトしました。ワイメアバレー（滝）まではメインロードのハイキングで片道20分くらいと聞いていたのですが、時間もあったので小道を入って遠回りをしてみたり、途中のベンチの日陰で休憩したりと、お迎えの時間までゆっくり歩きました。

これでツアー行程は終了となり、軽い疲労感でウトウトしながら渋滞もなくワイキキまで戻ってきて、希望の場所でドロップダウンしていただき、ツアーの後も充実した一日となりました。
本当にありがとうございました。
