North Shore
Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I think I was able to participate in the tour at a relatively affordable price in this expensive Hawaii. Although it was a half-day tour, they included just the right amount of spots, allowing for efficient sightseeing. If I had to say something, I wish I had more time in Haleiwa. Since lunch time was also during the free exploration time, I ended up enjoying lunch and didn't have any time left to explore or go to the beach.
全体的には素晴らしい体験でした。この物価高いハワイでは比較的に手頃の価格でツアー参加できたと思います。また半日ツアーですが、結構スポットをちょうど良く入れているので、効率よく観光できました。強いていえば、ハレイワでもっと時間ほしかったです。ランチ時間も自由散策時間内なので、結局ランチを楽しんだら散策や海辺には全然行けなくなっちゃいました。
It's a good idea to mark the lunch spots you want to visit in advance, so you can head straight to the restaurant as soon as you arrive to save time.
事前に行きたいランチのところをマークして、時間節約するために着いたらすぐにそのお店に行ったほうがいいです。
I usually don't venture out of Waikiki, so this time I joined a tour. The guide spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. During the bus ride, they provided commentary in both Japanese and English.
At the Dole Plantation, I got to ride the pineapple train and enjoy pineapple ice cream. The guide showed us how to buy the train tickets. I had expected to see a lot of pineapples while riding the train, but we mostly passed through grassy areas where they weren't very visible. If you looked closely, you could see some pineapple-like plants in the distance. After getting off the train, I realized I could have seen pineapples up close without riding, but I think it's worth taking the ride at least once if you're there.
The pineapple ice cream was large, so we shared it. It was delicious.
We spent about two hours at the North Shore. I thought we might see sea turtles, so I headed towards the ocean, but I didn't find any. After that, we had a meal at a café with an ocean view, and before I knew it, time flew by, and I hurried back to the bus.
While passing a shop near the bus, I was suddenly approached and told I had ten seconds to listen to a sales pitch for cosmetics. The North Shore is vast, and time is limited, so I recommend politely declining if you're not interested in cosmetics.
In Hawaii, it's difficult to travel far without renting a car, so I really enjoyed being able to visit various places on this tour.
いつもワイキキから出ないので、今回はツアーで連れて行ってもらいました。
ガイドさんは日本語がわかる方で安心感がありました。バスの移動中はずっと日本語と英語でガイドしていました。
ドールプランテーションではパイナップルトレインに乗ったり、パイナップルアイスが食べられました。トレインのチケットはガイドさんが買い方を教えてくれます。トレインに乗ってパイナップルがたくさんあるところをまわると思っていましたが、草原のようなところであまり見られませんでした。よーく見ると遠くにパイナップルみたいなものが実ってました。トレインを降りてから、間近でパイナップルを見られたので乗らなくてもよかったかなと思いましたがせっかく行くなら一度は乗ってみてもいいと思います。
パイナップルアイスは大きいのでシェアしました。美味しかったです。
ノースショアでの滞在時間は2時間ほどでした。ウミガメが見られるかと思い海の方に行きましたが、見つかりませんでした。そのあと海の見えるカフェで食事したらあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまい急いでバスにもどりました。
バスの近くのお店を通りかかったときに突然声をかけられ、10秒と言われて話を聞いていたら化粧品の販売でした。ノースショアは広くただでさえ時間がないので、化粧品に興味のない方は早めに断ることをおすすめします。
ハワイではレンタカーなどを借りないと自分で遠くに行くことは難しいので、今回ツアーでいろいろ行けて楽しかったです。
I think it's a good idea to decide on the places you want to visit in North Shore and think about an efficient way to get around!
ノースショアでは行きたいところを決めて効率的にまわる方法を考えていくといいと思います!
In preparation for my trip to Haleiwa, I signed up for the "Dole Plantation → Haleiwa" tour since I didn't have a rental car.
Thanks to Chris, our driver and guide, who introduced everything in Japanese, the journey was enjoyable.
Even though it takes just under an hour to get to Haleiwa by tour bus, considering the hassle and time of public transportation and restroom issues, I recommend taking the tour for those without a car.
The tour bus had a Japanese guide, and there was a restroom on board, which was reassuring. I also appreciated the pickup service close to my hotel.
At Dole Plantation, I focused on shopping rather than going through the maze or riding the train. I was prepared to wait in line at the food court, but fortunately, I was able to buy my food without waiting, allowing me to relax in the courtyard while enjoying ice cream with pineapple chunks. I purchased pineapple candy, pancake mix, and a tote bag as souvenirs.
In Haleiwa, I visited the garlic shrimp restaurant Camaron, recommended by the guide. I ordered the combo, which included two types of shrimp fried in a creamy coconut batter. Both were to my taste, and it was the best garlic shrimp I had during my stay. I wished I could have had it again if I were in Honolulu... highly recommended! ☺︎
After that, we went to Matsumoto Shave Ice and topped our order with condensed milk and mochi, as recommended in the reviews. Sharing a small size between two people was just right. It was delicious, and I recommend the toppings.
We strolled around nearby shops until the meeting time, visited a restroom near the bus stop (which was surprisingly clean), and returned to the bus.
It was a fulfilling day, and I was very satisfied that I signed up for the tour.
ハレイワに行くにあたり、レンタカー等ないので、今回「ドールプランテーション→ハレイワ」のツアーに申し込みました。
運転手兼ガイドのクリスさんが日本語で紹介してくれたおかげで、道中も楽しかったです。
ツアーのバスで行ってもハレイワまで1時間弱かかるため、公共交通機関の手間と時間、トイレ問題等考えても大変なので、車がない人はツアーで行くのをおすすめします。
今回のツアーバスには日本語ガイドに加えて、車内にはトイレがあり安心できました。
またホテル近くまで送迎があったのでありがたかったです。
ドールプランテーションでは、迷路や汽車には乗らず、買い物中心にしました。
フードコーナーは並ぶことを覚悟して行きましたが、タイミングよく並ばず買えたので、中庭でパイナップル果肉付きのアイスを食べながらゆっくり過ごすことができました。
お土産にパイナップルキャンディーとパンケーキミックス、トートバッグを購入しました。
ハレイワでは、ガイドおすすめのガーリックシュリンプ店のcamaron に行きました。コンボ(クリーミーなクリームとココナッツの衣で揚げた海老の2種類)を頼みました。両方とも好みの味で、滞在中食べたガーリックシュリンプの中で1番美味しかったです。ホノルルにあったらもう1回食べたかった…おすすめです☺︎
その後、マツモトシェイブアイスに行き、口コミでおすすめされた練乳と白玉をトッピングしました。小さなサイズを2人でシェアするのが丁度いいです。こちらも美味しく、トッピング推奨です。
集合時間まで近隣の店をぶらぶら巡り、バスの停留所近くのトイレに行き(想像以上に綺麗に清掃されていて驚いた)バスに戻りました。
充実した1日だったので、申し込んでよかったと大満足でした。
Giovanni, a popular restaurant among Japanese people in Haleiwa, takes about 40 minutes round trip on foot from the bus stop. Since you might not have any free time just to go eat, I recommend asking
ハレイワの日本人に人気店ジョバンニは、バス停留所から徒歩で往復40分かかるとのこと。食べに行くだけで自由時間がなくなる可能性があるので、ガイドに停留所付近のお店を聞くのをおすすめ。トイレの心配も不要。
この度は私共のロイヤルスターのバスツアーにご夫婦で参加して頂き誠に有難うございました。ドールプランテーションとハレイワをゆっくりとお楽しみ頂きそして、お土産のショッピングもできて大変嬉しく思っております。素敵なお写真と詳しい内容の口コミも有難うございました。楽しさとおいしさが伝わってくるお写真ですね!次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
Since there were mostly foreign visitors on the large bus, the driver's explanations were mainly in English, but he occasionally included Japanese, which was not a problem.
When we arrived at the Dole Plantation, we were guided to the ticket booth for those going to the train or the maze, where we purchased our tickets and then had the freedom to explore on our own. The maze was hot and I felt like I might get exhausted, so I opted for the train. There were signs for cacao trees and other attractions, making it easy to navigate the spacious and pleasant farm. Unfortunately, the pineapples had turned brown due to heavy rain.
Before boarding, we could purchase a photo taken of us by tapping a card on a machine and selecting backgrounds, but it was expensive, so I decided not to buy it.
At the shop, I bought the famous pineapple soft serve, which also used a machine for selecting toppings.
In Haleiwa, we received a simple map and had free time, so it's a good idea to research places you want to visit in advance. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the parking lot to Giovanni's, so they recommend Kamaron, which is only a 10-minute walk. It’s a Japanese-owned place with a creamy and gentle flavor.
There are also nearby spots like Island Vintage Coffee, Matsumoto Shave Ice, and the Snoopy Shop, and I was able to leisurely return even after going to the beach.
I enjoyed my time in Haleiwa freely and comfortably.
大きなバスでほぼ外国の方だったので、ドライバーさんの説明は英語メインでしたが
時々日本語も交えてくれて問題ありませんでした
ドールプランテーションに着くと電車か迷路かに行く人にはチケット売り場まで案内して
くれて自分で購入し 後は自由です
迷路は暑くてバテそうなので電車に乗り カカオの木等看板があるので良くわかり気持ちいい広い農園を快適にめぐれました パイナップルは大雨の影響で茶色く変色してしまっていました
乗車前に撮ってくれた写真を機械にカードをタップして背景なども選んで買えます が
高いので買いませんでした
売店で名物のパイナップルソフトクリームを買いましたがここも機械でタップしてトッピング等選ぶ方式でした
ハレイワでは簡単な地図をもらって自由行動なので行きたい場所を前もって調べて行くといいです
駐車場からジョバンニまでは徒歩20分くらいかかるのでカマロンを勧められます(徒歩
10分)
日本人経営でクリーミーでやさしい味でした
アイランドヴィンテージコーヒー等も近くにあり マツモトシェイブアイスやスヌーピーショップ 海まで往復してもゆっくり戻って来られました
自由にゆったりハレイワを楽しめました
この度は私共のロイヤルスターのバスツアーにご家族で参加して頂き誠に有難うございました。ドールプランテーションとハレイワでゆったりと楽しんで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。カマロンでのランチプレートもさぞおいしかったことでしょう。ご家族でハワイの良い思い出ができた事をスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。又のお越しをお待ちしております。
This tour offers more than just what is on the pamphlet. First of all, the trip to the Dole Plantation provided different attractions that are relaxing and self paced with beautiful backgrounds for pictures. There was a large gift shop for those who enjoy a little vacation shopping with a food court where everyone should try at least one of the special pineapple menu items. Secondly, the stop to Haleiwa was a short distance from Dole, and there's so many shops to visit just by walking in a straight line. If you keep moving, you're bound to find something you that interests you, like the shaved ice, surf shops, and snoopy store. For each stop, the tour provides about an hour or two for you to explore yourselves, which is plenty, so you won't have the feeling have being rushed.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the two main stops of the tour, but what made the trip so memorable is the staff and driver of your bus. Our driver was Marlon, and he made it his second priority to make sure everyone in our group knew what options they had before reaching each stop so that we could plan accordingly once we arrive. Of course his first priority was ensuring our safety and comfort, making the tour easier for us to kick back and enjoy. During the extra free time, he even took us to a nearby coffee shop that grows and grinds their own beans. That's something he added to the tour himself since we had free time, but also because he wanted to show us more of the island. He has an excellent sense of humor, and everyone in our group felt comfortable approaching him. He even speaks multiple languages for the passengers that may not be fully fluent in English. During the stops, I noticed him walking around offering to take family photos, starting conversations with people about the places we visited, and answering any questions they had. He is an amazing driver, awesome tour guide, and overall just a friendly person you'd want to have with you when visiting new places.
The atmosphere of the town felt unchanged, but I was surprised to hear for the first time about the incidents of the stolen Ohtani rock and signs. There were various new shops, but I was able to spend a peaceful time.
街の雰囲気は変わってない感じでしたが、大谷岩や看板が盗まれた事件などは初めて聞いてびっくりでした。ショップは色々増えていましたがのどかな時間を過ごせました。
You should definitely go for the Furi Furi Chicken first! ♪
フリフリチキンは、最初に行った方がいいです♪
We enjoyed our trip to the Dole plantation and on to Haleiwa. Our driver Chris was very knowledgeable and pointed out many of the local points of interest on the way to and from our destination. The train ride at Dole was worth taking and the Dole whip was very tasty. We did a little shopping there to which did not really leave us much time to tour the garden area. It would be a great idea to add 30 minutes more to the time here giving longer to do at least two of the three activities here (train, garden, and maze). The cost of the train & garden combo ticket was $19.99. After that it was on to Haleiwa. Chris gave multiple recommendations on where to eat and we chose the 7 Brothers hamburgers from his list. The hamburgers here did not disappoint. Both my wife and enjoyed our burgers and we split an order of fries. Despite having had breakfast and a Dole whip already that morning the burgers were just so good we had to finish them :-). After some shopping it was time to go back to our hotel. On the way back Chris had some suggestions on things to do and places to see before our time in Hawaii is done.
The only negative comments we had were that the bus seemed a little dated, it had a small problem with its “kneeling” feature and there were no cup holders for our drinks. Would definitely recommend Chris and this trip.
Comfortable shoes for walking, sunscreen and sunscreen water. Dole whip is a must!
The area were we rode was still wet and muddy. I got a horse who refused to move so was led the entire ride. The Dole plantation party of the tour was too short and the place wasn't even open yet when we arrived, cutting into our time there. The town we visited on the way back was just a time sick, although we found a great burger place to eat lunch. I would not recommend.
Thank you for joining our tour. Hawaii has experienced continued bad weather this year, and there have been occasions when the horseback riding tour had to be canceled due to weather conditions. We sincerely apologize regarding the amount of time spent at Dole Plantation. We have reconfirmed the schedule with the driver to help prevent this from happening again. Please note that the stop in Haleiwa Town is part of tour itinerary. We understand that it may not have matched your expectations, and we appreciate your feedback.
I used it for the first time on the North Shore. I went without studying any English at all, but thanks to the friendly and attentive guide, it was a fulfilling experience! Thank you, Kuri-chan!
初めてのノースショアで利用しました
英語は全く勉強せずに行ったのですが
気さくで気の利くガイドさんが案内してくださったおかげで充実していました!
くりちゃん、ありがとうございました
この度は私共のロイヤルスターのバスツアーにご夫婦で参加して頂き誠に有難うございました。初めてのノースショアとゆうことでツアーを楽しんで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。ドールプランテーションでの美味しいドールウイップのお写真と素敵なお写真と口コミも有難うございました。又のお越しをお待ちしております。
This was my first time in Hawaii, and I signed up for a tour to Haleiwa Town and the Dole Plantation that I had been wanting to visit. The guide provided explanations in both Japanese and English, which helped deepen my understanding while also exposing me to English, making the tour enjoyable until the end. At Dole, the guide explained how to enjoy the attractions and the tickets, so I was able to fully enjoy the train ride, pineapple ice cream, and even souvenirs. In Haleiwa, I strolled around and had garlic shrimp and hamburgers. The local atmosphere was great. Since it was a half-day tour, it wasn't too tiring, and it was just right.
今回初めてのハワイで、行きたかったハレイワタウンとドールプランテーションのツアーを申込みました。ガイドさんが日本語と英語で説明をしてくれて、英語にも触れつつ、日本語で理解が深まったので最後まで楽しいツアーでした。ドールでは、楽しみ方のポイントやチケットの説明もしてくれたので、列車やパイナップルアイス、お土産まで満足に楽しむことができました。ハレイワでは、全体を散歩しつつ、ガーリックシュリンプやハンバーガーを食べました。ローカルな雰囲気が良かったです。半日のツアーなので疲れすぎず、ちょうど良かったです。
In Haleiwa, there are so many shops that you might get confused about what to eat, so I think it's a good idea to do some research in advance to make things smoother!
ハレイワでは、お店がたくさんあって何を食べるか迷ってしまうので、事前に調べておくとスムーズだと思います!
この度は私共のロイヤルスターのバスツアーにご夫婦で参加して頂き誠に有難うございました。初めてのハワイ旅行で選んで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。ドールプランテーションとハレイワも存分に楽しまれた様子がうかがえてドライバーも喜んでおります。ローカルな美味しいお食事も良かったですね。素敵な口コミとお写真も有難うございます。またハワイでお待ちしております。
The tour I participated in started in bad weather, but thanks to the guide's attentive guidance, it turned out to be a very enjoyable experience. In Haleiwa on the North Shore, there were so many shops that I got a bit lost, but the guide helped by recommending stores and ways to explore. At the Dole Plantation, the variety of souvenirs was more than I expected, and I ended up buying quite a few things. The pineapple ice cream was delicious, and since the temperature wasn't too high, I was able to enjoy it comfortably. The guide's thoughtfulness was also wonderful, making it a tour where I could feel safe sightseeing even in bad weather.
今回参加したツアーは悪天候の中でのスタートでしたが、ガイドさんの丁寧な案内のおかげでとても楽しい体験になりました。ノースショアのハレイワではたくさんのお店があり迷ってしまいましたが、ガイドさんがオススメのお店や回り方を教えてくれて助かりました。ドールプランテーションでは想像以上にお土産が充実していて、つい色々と買ってしまいました。パイナップルのアイスも美味しく、気温はそれほど高くなかったので快適に楽しめました。ガイドさんの気配りも素晴らしく、悪天候でも安心して観光できるツアーでした。
I think it would be more efficient to decide on the shops you want to visit in Haleiwa in advance.
事前にハレイワで行きたいお店を決めておくと、もっと有効にまわれると思います
この度は私共のロイヤルスターのバスツアーにご家族で参加して頂き誠に有難う御座います。全体的に満足して頂き大変嬉しく思っております。そして、素晴らしい口コミとお写真も有難うございました。今回のツアーでドールプランテーションとハレイワとゆうノースショアを代表する地区を楽しんで頂き本当に良かったですね。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
I thought about going to Haleiwa by using public buses or Uber on my own, but it was the right decision to join a tour instead, as it relieved the pressure of arranging things and worrying about time for my family of four.
自力で路線バスや、Uberを使って、ハレイワに行こうと思いましたが、家族4人、手配や時間の心配なプレッシャーもなくツアー参加にした事は、正解でした。
I stayed at Twin Fin, and it was really great that the hotel provided transportation from Waikiki to Haleiwa, as it's quite far to go on your own!
First, we did a little sightseeing in the city, and then they took us to the Dole Plantation. The driver acted as a guide throughout the journey, which really deepened my knowledge, and he was humorous, making it a lot of fun.
In Haleiwa, we had free time to try the famous garlic shrimp, but personally, I was really happy to be able to drink a latte made with coffee beans that can only be found on the North Shore!
ツインフィンに宿泊していたのですが、ワイキキからハレイワまで個人で行くととても遠いのを、ホテルから連れて行ってくれるので、とてもありがたいツアーでした!
まず、市内観光を少しして、Doleプランテーションに連れて行ってくれるのですが、始終運転手の方が移動中ガイドをしてくれるので、知識もとても深まりましたし、ユーモアのあるガイドで楽しかったです。
ハレイワではかの有名なガーリックシュリンプもフリータイムで食べに行くことも出来るのですが、個人的にはノースショアでしか獲ることのできないコーヒー豆を使ったラテを飲めたのがとても嬉しかったです♪
Since you have plenty of free time in Haleiwa, I think it would be efficient to think about what you want to do in advance.
ハレイワの自由時間がたっぷりあるので、ある程度何をしたいか考えておくと効率良く回れると思います
この度は私共のロイヤルスターのバスツアーにご家族で参加して頂き誠に有難う御座いました。ツアー全体的に満足して頂き大変嬉しく思っております。ドールホイップのおいしそうなお写真や素敵な口コミも有難うございます。ノースショアでのカフェラテ良かったですね。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
We gathered at 7:30 AM and departed for Haleiwa five minutes before the scheduled time. On that day, there were four families participating, including ours. The driver provided explanations in both Japanese and English, which made us feel secure during the ride.
We arrived in less than an hour from Waikiki and had some free time. We took a walk towards the ocean until the shops opened. Once the shops opened, we enjoyed some Huli Huli chicken, ate acai bowls, and bought T-shirts and coffee. It was great because it was cheaper than in Waikiki.
朝7:30集合で定刻5分前にハレイワに向かって出発。当日は、我々含め4家族参加でした。ドライバーの方は、日本語と英語で説明して下さり運転も安心でした。
ワイキキから1時間弱で到着し、自由行動。
お店が開くまで海の方へ散歩して、
お店が開いたら、フリフリチキンを食べたり
アサイーボール食べてTシャツ、コーヒーを買いました。ワイキキより安くて良かったです、、。
It's recommended to leave early in the morning since you'll be back in Waikiki by 3 PM.
3時にはワイキキに戻って来るので
朝一出発がオススメです。
You can enjoy horseback riding while taking in the stunning views of the beach in Haleiwa. Each horse is well-trained and responds perfectly to commands. The view from atop the horse is fantastic. The instructor was cheerful and always attentive. It was also a nice touch that they provided photos taken during the ride. However, the time for exploring Haleiwa was short, and it was a bit disappointing that we only had enough time to eat.
ハレイワの海辺の絶景を眺めながら乗馬ができます。どの馬も慣れていて、きちんと指示通りに動いてくれます。馬上からの眺めは最高です。インストラクターの方は陽気で常に気をつかってくれました。道中撮った写真を配信してくれるのも嬉しいサービスです。ただ、ハレイワ散策の時間は短く、食事するだけでいっぱいなのはちょっと残念でした。
Since horseback riding is just a slow walk, advanced riders might find it unsatisfying.
乗馬はゆっくり歩くだけなので、上級者は物足りないかもしれません。
このたびはアイランドマカナツアーズのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。乗馬をお楽しみいただけたようで何よりです。どうしても乗馬の後のハレイワ散策はお時間が短くなってしまいます。弊社ではハレイワタウンに3時間滞在する「ノースショアたっぷりハレイワタウン」もございますので、次回はそちらもご検討下さい。またハワイでお会いできるのを楽しみにしております!
If you do not want to drive this tour is perfect for some time to explore the gorgeous Haleiwa!
There are tours available at 7:30 or 11:00, and we participated in the 7:30 tour. The 11:00 departure is more popular. The reason for its popularity is that local shops open after 10:00. However, if you go at 7:30, many shops are still closed, but there are fewer people, making it comfortable to explore. If you enjoy leisurely visiting shops, I recommend this option.
7時半もしくは11時のツアーがあり、自分たちは7時半に参加しました。
11時出発のほうが人気です。
人気の理由は、現地のお店が10時過ぎからオープンするためです。
ただ、7時半に行く場合は、開店前のお店が多いですが、その分人も少なく
散策が快適でした。
のんびりしつつお店を巡るのが好きな方はおすすめです。
If you're planning to arrive at 7:30, you'll get to the location before 9:00, so I think it's best to carefully adjust the schedule for the places you want to visit.
7時半の場合は、現地に着くのが9時前になるため、行きたい場所のスケジュール調整は念入りにしたほうが良いと思います。
I felt at ease driving while being guided. The detailed explanations about the Dole Plantation and North Shore made for a very enjoyable day!
ガイドしながら運転も安心できました。Doleプランテーションやノースショアも詳しく説明してくれてとても楽しい一日になりました!
Not only with Japanese people but also with people from various countries, I experienced a sense of being abroad as they skillfully used both English and Japanese.
日本人だけでなく色々な国の人たちと一緒になり、英語と日本語を巧みに使ってくれて海外にいる感じを味わいました。
Thank you very much for participating in our Royal Star bus tour with your spouse. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the North Shore and the Dole Plantation. It's great that you were able to make friends with customers from other countries as well. We also appreciate your very positive review. We look forward to seeing you again in Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のロイヤルスターのバスツアーにご夫婦で参加して頂き誠にありがとうございました。ノースショアそして、ドールプランテーションも楽しんで頂いたようで大変嬉しく思っております。他の国のお客様とも仲良くなれて良かったですね。大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
This time, I went to Dole and Haleiwa for the first time. Since I didn't have a rental car, I signed up for a tour with Japanese language support.
Our driver, Cindy, first took us to take pictures at the King Kamehameha statue and provided various explanations. Next, we rode the train at Dole, which ran comfortably through the plantation. The pineapple soft serve was exquisite. Finally, we went to Haleiwa. When I told the driver that I wanted to eat garlic shrimp, she kindly guided us to a restaurant and even ordered for us since we couldn't speak English. It was such a relief, and we were able to fully enjoy and have fun. After eating, we enjoyed shopping and looking at the beautiful ocean, which was a lot of fun.
Next time, I would like to take a bit more time to enjoy it. Thank you very much.
As souvenirs, I also received pineapple banana cake, water, and mint candies.
今回、初めてドールとハレイワに行きました。レンタカーがないので、日本語サポート付きのツアーで申し込みしました。
Cindyさんというドライバーの方で、まずカメハメハ像で写真を撮って頂き、色々説明もしてくれました。次にドールで汽車にのりプランステーションの中を気持ちよく走りました。パイナップルソフトクリームが絶品でした。最後は、ハレイワに行きました。ガーリックシュリンプを食べたいとドライバーさんに伝えるとお店を案内してくれて、英語が話せない私達に代わり注文をしてくれたり、とても親切だったので本当に安心して堪能して、楽しむ事が出来ました。食べた後は、ショッピングしたり綺麗な海をみたり楽しかったです。
次回は、もう少し時間をかけて楽しみたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。
お土産に、パイナップルバナナケーキやお水やミントの飴も頂きました。
If you don't speak English, I recommend opting for Japanese support. Also, for those visiting Haleiwa for the first time, it's advisable to go early to avoid the crowds and be able to return comfortab
英語が話せない方は、日本語サポート付きをお勧めします。あと、初めてハレイワの方面に行く方は、早い時間の方が混む前に行く事が出来、帰ってくる事が出来るのでおすすめです。
Thank you very much for participating in our Royal Star bus tour with your family. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the North Shore and Dole Plantation with the support of our Japanese-speaking staff. The soft serve ice cream at Dole Plantation is truly delicious, isn't it? We also appreciate your positive review and the photos. We look forward to seeing you again in Hawaii next time.
この度は私共のロイヤルスターのバスツアーにご家族で参加して頂き誠にありがとうございました。日本語のサポートにてノースショアそして、ドールプランテーションも楽しんで頂いたようで大変嬉しく思っております。ドールプランテーションでのソフトクリーム本当に美味しいですよね。ポジティブな口コミとお写真も有難う御座います。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
This was my first time in Haleiwa Town. Unlike Honolulu, it has a calm atmosphere with cute shops scattered around, making it easy and fun to explore.
I participated in the shuttle that departed at 7 AM. While popular shops open at 10 or 11 AM, there are some that open early, so I thoroughly enjoyed the 5 hours of free time. The driver was punctual, and I was able to enjoy the exclusive mini tour offered by Veltra.
ハレイワタウンは初めて。ホノルル と違って落ち着いた雰囲気の中にかわいいお店が点在していて、周りやすいし楽しい。
送迎は7時台出発に参加した。人気のお店が10時か、11時オープンだが、朝からやっているお店もあるので、5時間のフリータイムは大満喫。ドライバーも時間通りで、ベルトラ 限定のミニツアーも楽しめた。
Knowing the stores you want to visit in advance will make the five hours after your arrival more meaningful.
行きたいお店を事前に把握しておくと到着後の5時間は有意義になる。
I had a great trip to the North Shore with my shuttle driver. He picked me up first and then two couples from neighboring hotels. He did a great job explaining the different areas in Haleiwa to the whole shuttle and then dropped the two couples off near the beach. We then proceeded to Waimea Valley where I had a great time hiking to the falls, exploring the botanical gardens, and learning about the Hawaiian culture. I finished early and so he was good with dropping me in Haleiwa early which allowed me to explore the area a little more. Great driver who makes his own shuttle music. Drove us safely in the rain. I would totally take this shuttle again. He is most respectful and is bilingual in English and Japanese.
I was able to see a group of turtles at the rocky area of the North Shore. It was still before noon, and they hadn't come up on the sandy beach yet, but I could see about ten sea turtles coming ashore on the shallow rocks and swimming around. I was expecting higher waves at the North Shore during this season, but they were average. As always, Giovanni's garlic shrimp was exquisite. However, it was very crowded.
ノースショアの岩場でカメの群れを観ることができました、まだ昼まえで砂浜には上がっていませんでしたが、10匹前後のウミガメさんが、浅瀬の岩場に上陸したり、泳いでいるのが見えました。この時期のノースショア、もっと高い波を期待していましたが、普通でした。やはりジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプは絶品でした。ただとても混んでいます。
The mini tour with the guide was very good; they provided detailed explanations, and I was satisfied.
ガイドさんのミニツアーはとても良かったです、詳しく説明して頂き、満足です
It was inconvenient to go on our own, so we signed up for a tour. Additionally, I’m glad we booked a mini optional tour on-site. Since we were the only participants, we were able to visit several spots in addition to the main coffee plantation. Thanks to that, we were able to capture some rare locations.
いずれも自力で行くには不便なのでツアー申込をしました。加えて現地でのオプショナルツアーのミニツアーを申し込んでよかったです。参加者が我々だけだったのでコーヒー農園などメイン以外にいくつかスポットを回ってもらいました。おかげでレア場所も撮影できました。
If you go too early, the shops won't be open, so I recommend the tour starting at 11:00 over the one at 7:30. The 11:00 tour tends to fill up quickly, so it's important to sign up early!
朝早すぎると店が開いていないので7:30からのツアーより11:00からのツアーがお勧めです。11:00からのツアーは埋まりやすいので早めに申込が大事!
I love Haleiwa and wanted to take my time exploring, so this was my second or third time participating in the tour. There were only my family and me, and we were able to visit all the places we wanted at a leisurely pace, which made us very satisfied. Thank you again!
ハレイワが好きでゆっくり周りたかったので2回?3回目のツアー参加です
私達家族しか居なくて
周りたいところ全部ゆっくり行けて満足です。
またよろしくお願いします。
One tour had five different activities mixed together, which caused the return time to be delayed by one hour.
I think it's better to stop the practice of forcing tips with signs.
I would like the horseback riding staff to be positioned at the front and back of the line, not just one person at the front.
ひとつのツアーで5組のそれぞれ別のアクティビティが混ざったツアーになっていた為、戻り時間が1時間遅れになった
チップを強制する貼紙はやめたほうがいいと思う
乗馬スタッフは前一名でなく隊列の前後に付けてほしい
The horseback riding experience along the coast was truly beautiful with stunning scenery.
海沿いの乗馬体験自体はとても風光明媚な景色で素晴らかつた

I chose the 7:30 AM departure. I was worried that I might have too much time to kill since the shops wouldn't be open yet, and I considered the 11:00 AM departure, but I'm glad I went with the 7:30 AM option in the end.
The driver was considerate and took us to the North Shore beach for surfing since it was early in the morning. It was winter, so the waves were high, and we got to see surfers riding the tube waves. They even took some photos for us, which became the best memory of this tour.
In Haleiwa, we visited NALU, famous for its acai bowls, and Island Vintage Coffee. Unlike in Honolulu, where you have to wait in long lines, it was not crowded, and we were able to enjoy acai bowls and coffee while leisurely waiting for the shops to open.
On Sunday, we also enjoyed the Huli Huli chicken without any wait, and it was delicious. At Matsumoto Shave Ice, I had the chance to talk with the owner, Mr. Matsumoto, and we were able to get our treats smoothly without waiting in line.
Shopping was also relaxed and enjoyable. On the day I participated, there were only four Japanese participants, so we returned to Waikiki smoothly and quickly before 3 PM, allowing us to make the most of the rest of our time.
7時30分発をチョイスしました。着いてもお店がオープンしていなから時間を持て余すかと、11時出発と迷いましたが、7時30分発にして結果良かったです。
ドライバーさんが、朝早いので、気を利かせてくれてサーフィンの本番のノースショアのビーチに連れて行っていただきました。冬だったので、波高くチューブの波中、サーフィンしている所を見る方ができました。写真も撮っていただき、今回のツアーで一番良い思い出になりました。
ハレイワでは、アサイボールで有名なNALU、アイランドヴィンテージコーヒーはホノルルでは長蛇の列に並ばないといけないのが、空いていて、アサイボールやカフェをして、ゆったりお店のオープンまで過ごすことが出来ました。
日曜日でフリフリチキンも並ばず美味しくいただきました。
マツモトシェーブドアイスでは、オーナーの松本さんとお話しが出来きましたし、ここでも、並ばずスムーズにいただけました。
お買い物も、ゆったりと出来ました。
参加した日は、参加者、日本人4人だけだったので、ワイキキへもスムーズに早く3時前には戻れ、その後の時間を有効に過ごすことができました。
It takes less than an hour to get from Honolulu to Haleiwa without traffic, but there are no restroom breaks along the way, and there are no convenience stores like in Japan along the road. Therefore,
ホノルルからハレイワまでは、渋滞無く行けて1時間もかかりませんが、途中トイレ休憩はないですし、日本の様に道沿いコンビニなどは無いので、出発前には済まして参加された方が、良いかと思います。
I visited Haleiwa Town on the North Shore for the first time. I was able to enjoy the Huli Huli chicken and garlic shrimp without much wait. The atmosphere made it feel like time moved slowly, which helped me relax. I had a total of five hours there, but if I had one more hour, I would have liked to walk to Ali'i Beach Park.
ノースショアのハレイワタウンには初めて行きました。フリフリチキン、ガーリックシュリンプはそんなに待たずに食べれました。地域がら時間がゆっくり進むような気がしてリラックスできました。現地の滞在時間が5時間でしたがもう1時間あれば歩いてアリ・ビーチ・パークに行きたかったです。
The frilly chicken and Giovanni's garlic shrimp are highly recommended.
フリフリチキンとジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプはおすすめです。
They provided various little bits of information! The time spent in the car was comfortable. I had a lot of fun! I also felt reassured that the person in charge was Japanese.
色んなプチ情報をおしえてくれました!
車内の時間も快適でした。
とっても楽しかった!
担当が日本人の方で安心もしました。
I was glad to be dropped off at the beach on the North Shore and see authentic surfing. The walk towards the town looked interesting, but unfortunately, most places were closed during the tour's time slot. I returned around noon and saw a few shops, but it would have been great if the tour could have been delayed by another hour. I also enjoyed taking pictures of the mini tour and the Haleiwa sign.
ノースショアの浜辺で降ろしてもらい本場のサーフィンが見れて良かったです。
そこから街の方に歩いて行く道のりみせも面白そうで、ただしツアーの時間帯では殆どが開店前、お昼にもどり何軒かは見ましたが、後一時間ツアーを遅らせてくれるとありがたいです。ミニツアーもハレイワ看板も撮れて良かったです。
It's better to avoid Friday. The fluffy chicken is taking a break.
金曜日は外した方がいいです。フリフリチキンがやすんでます
At first, I was worried because there was no pick-up for over 10 minutes. However, once I boarded safely, it was about a one-hour journey to the North.
最初10分以上迎えがないため心配になりました。しかし無事に乗り込むとノースまで約1時間程度の旅でした。
