North Shore
It was a concentrated tour that allowed us to enjoy pineapples and various sightseeing spots in Hawaii. I signed up for the tour because I wanted to visit the Dole fields and factory, and I felt it was at a satisfying level, providing even more experiences than I expected.
From our hotel in Waikiki, we took a car, and the guide, who was alone, had an incredible amount of knowledge about the various famous spots in Hawaii along the way, including the Dole fields and factory.
It seems that Dole is a different company from the Dole Plantation, which is a tourist attraction across the street. I mistakenly thought that if we went to the Dole Plantation ourselves, we could have the same factory tour. Since we wouldn't have been able to visit the fields and factory without signing up for this tour, I believe it was a valuable experience. (After the factory tour, we had a little time to visit the Dole Plantation, where we could also buy souvenirs.)
At the fields, we were able to see the harvesting and had fresh pineapples cut right there. After the factory tour, we enjoyed cold cut pineapples and straight pineapple juice produced at the factory, which made me very happy. (They also offer coffee and chocolate tastings, and there are some small souvenirs for sale.)
After that, we went to Haleiwa for some free time, and later at the macadamia nut souvenir shop, we could taste many samples and buy souvenirs. Additionally, we visited two coffee shops where we had restroom breaks and could taste a lot of coffee.
On the way back, we took photos of King Kamehameha and, even from the car, we could see Hawaii's Izumo Taisha, Chinatown, and wall art while listening to the guide share a lot about Hawaii's history, which was educational.
I think it was a very fulfilling day.
パイナップルづくしと各所のハワイ観光ができて濃縮したツアーでした。
ドールの畑や工場見学がしたくて、申し込んだツアーでしたが、満足できるレベルでしたし、それ以上の体験ができたと感じています。
ワイキキのホテルから車に乗って、道中の所々のハワイの名所からドールの畑や工場の案内まで、お一人でされていたガイドさんの知識量は凄かったです。
ドールは畑・工場と、向かい側にある観光名所のドールプランテーションとは違う会社のようで、自分たちでドールプランテーションに行けば同じ工場見学ができると勘違いしていました。今回のツアーに申し込まないと畑と工場の見学はできないので、貴重な体験だったと思います。（工場見学後にドールプランテーションにも少し行く時間があったので、そちらのお土産も買うことができました。）
畑では収穫の見学時に畑のパイナップルをその場でカットしていただけて、工場見学後も冷たいカットパインと工場で製造しているストレートのパイナップルジュースをいただけてパイナップルづくしで幸せでした。（コーヒーやチョコレートの試食、ちょっとしたお土産も売っています。）
その後、ハレイワに行って自由行動と、その後、マカダミアナッツのお土産屋さんではたくさん試食ができてお土産も買えました。
その他にも二か所コーヒーショップに行けてトイレ休憩もコーヒーの試飲がたくさんできました。
帰りはカメハメハ大王の写真を撮ったり、車中からでも、ハワイの出雲大社、チャイナタウン、ウォールアートを見ながら帰れましたし、ガイドさんのハワイの歴史をたくさん聞きながら勉強にもなりました。
とても、充実した1日になったと思います。
Free time goes by quickly, so it's a good idea to decide where you want to go in advance. Also, since I received a whole pineapple as a souvenir, I felt it was great to have brought a cutting board an
自由行動の時間はあっという間なので、どこに行きたいか決めておくと良いです。
また、お土産にパイナップルを丸々いただくので、ホテルでカットするためのまな板とナイフを持って行って良かったと感じています。

I had a great time with 90 minutes at Dole and 120 minutes at Haleiwa, and the driver was very proficient in Japanese. I was satisfied to finally enjoy the Dole train and the Huli Huli chicken in Haleiwa!
ドール90分、ハレイワ120分とゆっくり時間が取ってあり、かつ、日本語に堪能なドライバーさんで大変良かったです。念願のドールのトレインとハレイワのフリフリチキンが食べられて満足しました！
Thank you very much for participating in our Haleiwa Express & Dole Plantation Tour. We are honored that we could provide guidance in Japanese. It was truly wonderful that you were able to enjoy the train ride and meal at Dole, which you had been looking forward to. Thank you for your review as well. We look forward to welcoming you both back to Hawaii.

The visit to the pineapple plantation was very good. Haleiwa was relatively quiet, and I was able to visit all the places I wanted to go. I was able to eat at Giovanni's without any wait. The guide, Nori, was also wonderful, making it a very good tour.
パイナップル園の見学は大変良かったです。
ハレイワも比較的空いていて行きたいところもすべて行けました。ジョバンニは待ち時間なしで食べられました。
添乗のノリさんの対応も素晴らしく、大変良いツアーでした。
Be sure to visit the pineapple farm. I think it's educational for families with children as well.
パイナップル園はぜひ行って下さい。
子ども連れも勉強になると思います。

The tour details from Beltora indicated an end time around 2 PM, but we were informed that the expected arrival time at the hotel would be 3:30 PM. During the latter part of the tour, we moved slowly through downtown and the Ala Moana area while explanations were provided from the bus. We were also asked about taking photos at the King Kamehameha statue. Since I was under the impression that the tour would end around 2 PM, I thought it might be a good idea to revise the introduction page if the hotel arrival time is indeed around 3:30 PM.
ベルトラさんのツアー内容からは終了時間が14時ころとなっていましたが
終了予定時間は15:30ホテル到着と案内され、後半はバスの中からダウンタウンやアラモアナ周辺をゆっくり移動しながら説明がなされました
カメハメハ大王像での写真撮影有無について声をかけていただいたりしました
14時ころ終了と認識していたので、もしホテル到着時間が15:30ころなら紹介ページの修正をしたほうがよいのかな、と思いました

I wanted to join the tour because I had never been to a coffee farm on other optional tours. I have also done a coffee farm tour on the Big Island. I simply love natural coffee, and there were many different flavored coffees. Although it wasn't my favorite coffee, I was glad to have the opportunity to visit. It was my first time exploring a farm. Before participating in the tour, I watched an introductory video and learned about the tour content, and I was able to walk right in the middle of the farm. This time, I was able to taste freshly cut pineapple right from the field. Hawaiian pineapple is delicious, but the pineapple I ate directly at the farm was even better! I was happy to receive a whole pineapple as a souvenir, but I was surprised that I couldn't bring it back to Japan. The staff at the shop was Japanese, and they kindly offered to exchange it for cut pineapple for the Japanese participants, which was very helpful. The pineapple juice and fruit samples at the shop were also very delicious! Additionally, there were three types of Waialua coffee available for tasting, and I purchased some. I thought the tour fee was a bit high, so I was glad to participate in the monitor tour. In terms of the rarity of this tour, I thought it would be fun to experience places like Wahiawa Botanical Garden, which has free admission, aside from the farm.
ほかのオプショナルツアーでは寄ることがほとんどなかったコーヒー農園に行ってみたかったのでツアー参加を希望しました
ハワイ島でもコーヒー農園巡りをしたことがあります
シンプルにナチュナルコーヒーが好きだったのでいろいろなフレーバーコーヒーが多くて
自分の好みコーヒーではなかったですが寄ることができてよかったです
農園は初めての散策です
ツアー参加前に紹介動画をみてツアー内容を知ることができましたが、まさに農園の真ん中散策ができます
今回は農園の畑でもいだパイナップルをその場でカットして試食させていただくこともできました
ハワイのパイナップルはおいしいですが、農園で直接食べたパイナップルはさらに美味しかったです～
おみやげのパイナップルは1玉そのものいただいたときはうれしかったですが、日本に持ち帰りできないしびっくりしました
売店の店員さんが日本人で日本人参加者にはカットパインとチェンジしましょうか？と声をかけていただいて助かりました
売店でのパイナップルジュースと果実も試食として出していただきとても美味しかった！
またワイアルアコーヒーの試飲も3種類あり購入させていただきました
ツアー代金は高いな～と思ったのでモニターツアーに参加できてよかったです
このレアさの強いツアーという意味では農場以外の場所としてワヒアワ植物園とか入場無料ですし、こういう場所の体験ができたりすると楽しいのかなと思いました
This time, the guidance from the Japanese guide was a bit difficult to understand in terms of pronunciation, and the explanations were often incomprehensible for my elderly parents.
今回の日本語ガイドさんの案内がは、ちょっと発音がわかりにくくて

I had been to Dole Plantation before, but I had never been inside the farm, so it was great to see the process from harvesting to packing. There seemed to be a lot of manual work from planting to harvesting, which looked tough, but the workers waved cheerfully at us when they saw us. The guide not only taught us various things but also made a great effort to ensure we had fun, allowing us to enjoy the day. While it's nice to enjoy the maze and train at Dole Plantation, I think the farm tour across the street gave us a better sense of Hawaii.
ドールプランテーションには行ったことはありましたが
農園の中には行ったことがなかったので、収穫から箱詰めまでの工程を見ることが出来て
とてもよかったです。
植え付けから収穫まで手作業が多く、大変そうでしたが作業している人たちは我々を見ると明るく手を振ってくれました。
ガイドさんはいろいろなことを教えてくれただけでなく、我々が楽しめるようにすごく気を遣ってくれたこともあり、楽しく１日過ごすことが出来ました。
ドールプランテーションで迷路や汽車を楽しむのも良いですが、向かいにある農園見学の方が、よりハワイを感じられてよかったと思います。
There may not be artificial fun, but you can feel the old-fashioned Hawaii, so I think it's especially good for those who can find joy in that without any special preparations.
人工的な楽しさはありませんが昔ながらのハワイを感じることが出来るので
そのことに楽しみを感じられる人であれば特に用意はなくても良いと思います。

The Dole Plantation tour was great, allowing us to efficiently visit Haleiwa. The guide shared various information on the bus, providing insights into Dole's history and recommended spots in Haleiwa before we arrived. I don't understand much English, but I was able to understand everything well enough using a translation app on my smartphone.
The Dole pineapple soft serve was rich in flavor and delicious. Although the price is a bit higher, I recommend the soft serve with pineapple topping.
ドールプランテーション、ハレイワ観光と効率よく回ることができ、良いツアーでした。バス内でガイドさんが色々な情報を話してくださり、ドールの歴史やハレイワのおすすめスポットなど到着前に情報インプットができました。英語はあまりわかりませんが、スマホの翻訳アプリを使えば、十分理解することができました。
ドールのパイナップルソフトは味が濃厚で美味しかったです。価格は少々プラスになりますが、パイナップルトッピングのソフトをお勧めします。
As long as I know the meeting place and time in English, I felt comfortable participating in the English tour. The meeting point is at the bus drop-off location, and the time is clearly repeated sever
英語は最低限集合場所と集合時間がわかれば問題ないので、英語ツアーでも参加して大丈夫だと感じました。場所はバス集合（降りたところ）ですし、時間はわかりやすく何度も繰り返してくれるので安心でした。

I loved this tour. The bus took us around the island, visiting ALL the hot spots. It can feel a bit rushed but lots of places to go. I think it’s suitable as a first day of your trip activity. Our guide Kanamu was amazing, I loved all the local histories and traditions she told us along the way. The highlight of the trip is definitely Waimea Falls. We spent 1.5 hours here, I personally highly suggest not to go swim in the waterfall because that would become the whole focus of this place. It’s such a beautiful area, you’d be rushing through the short hike trying to get to the waterfall, and once you’ve done swimming you’d be rushing back to your bus. You’d be missing a lot of this beautiful place. I also loved that we stopped for a short 30 minutes Dole plantation. That’s really enough tbh. I would otherwise not have come here but now I can say that I have been there. I loved the fruit stands that we passed, bought some fruits. If you’ve had good sugar cane before don’t buy them here, they weren’t that great. While taste great, they weren’t very juicy, and quite hard to chew. You can definitely try if you’ve never had them before. Bought some macadamia honey at the “nut house”, and I loved the macadamia nut sampling. I was so tired at the end of the trip but definitely worth it!
Do this trip on your first day here.
This tour was absolutely amazing and our driver Pattrick was the best part! He was so polite, friendly and made us feel like in home! We loved him! Thank you Pattrick!!!
They came to pick us up near the hotel as scheduled. There were four groups on the bus, and we were the only Japanese. During the ride, the driver shared information about Hawaii's history in English.
After arriving at Dole, we had malasadas and mineral water for breakfast. The driver also explained how to buy tickets and recommended some food options.
After the Dole experience, we went to the North Shore. Although we couldn't go to the famous sign, the driver introduced us to well-known spots before parking, and then we had free time. We could stop by Matsumoto Shave Ice, garlic shrimp, Patagonia, and more.
On the way back, we visited famous spots around Waikiki, such as King Kamehameha, while the driver provided commentary as we headed toward Waikiki. It was nice to be able to give a tip comfortably.
予定通りホテル近くに迎えに来てくれました。バスの中には４組、日本人は私たちだけでした。道中は運転手の方が英語でハワイの歴史について教えてくれます。

Our guide Lola was very friendly, and it was the best tour! Since it was an English-only tour, we were a bit worried about our ability to keep up with just everyday conversation. However, Lola, although she hardly spoke any Japanese, spoke slowly and clearly, making it easy to understand, and we had a great conversation.
She also guided us through the buildings and areas along the way, which was fun.
I thought Dole might be somewhat underwhelming, but it was actually very spacious and we enjoyed it a lot. The souvenir section is really large. Haleiwa had a completely different atmosphere from Waikiki, which was refreshing. There were so many places to eat that it was hard to choose, but the garlic shrimp was very delicious. We gave up on the long lines for shave ice and huli huli chicken. Instead, we went to Ali Beach and were thrilled to encounter a honu drying its shell!
ガイドのLolaがとても良く接してくれて、最高のツアーでした！
英語のみのツアーということで、日常会話程度ならなんとか…というレベルの我々は大丈夫かなと少し心配しながら参加しました。
しかし、確かにLolaは日本語はほとんど喋れないものの、ゆっくり聞き取りやすく話してくれて、会話も弾みました。
また、道中の建物やエリアなどもガイドしてくれて楽しかったです。
ドールは、なんとなくショボいのかなと思っていましたが、とても広く十分楽しめました。
お土産コーナーがすごく広いです。
ハレイワは、ワイキキとは全く違う雰囲気で新鮮でした。
食べる所が多く選ぶのに困りましたが、ガーリックシュリンプとても美味しかったです。
シェイブアイス、フリフリチキンは列が長かったので断念。
代わりにアリビーチまで行ってみたところ、甲羅乾かしているホヌに出会えて感動しました！
It's better for those who cannot speak English to refrain from going. The weather in the mountains can change easily, and especially in Dole, it seems to rain often.
英語が全く話せない人はやめたほうがいいです。
山は天気が代わりやすく、特にドールは雨が降りやすい気がする。

My husband, who is learning English conversation, made his first trip to Hawaii! Although we chose an English tour, my husband's English skills couldn't keep up... However, thanks to our cheerful and fun tour guide and driver, Patrick, we had a wonderful time. He helped us purchase tickets for the Dole Plantation, and we were able to enter smoothly. At times, he even used a translation device to explain things, which was incredibly kind and impressive. We had plenty of time in Haleiwa Town, and I was able to finally enjoy authentic garlic shrimp, as well as buy some unique souvenirs and my favorite items!

I wish I had done this tour earlier into my trip. We got to see the entire island. It was clear that our guide, Kevin was passionate and knowledgeable on the island's history and culture. Our group made a few stops additional to the two main activities. It was well worth the cost. As a solo traveller I had an amazing time on this excursion!
My family and I had a great time during the tour and enjoyed all the places we visited, except the Dole plantation which we think they should take out of the tour and visit Haleiwa town instead.
Our guide, Kainoa, was fantastic. He knows a lot about the history of Hawaii.
It was the best time we have had. Learned a lot about how they grow pineapple 🍍
My family loved this tour. The activities we fun and well managed. Kevin was a great tour guide.
The care, attention, quality, cleanliness, and authenticity made for an unbelievable experience. My family and I left very happy and ready to recommend to everyone. You get what you pay for.
A tour that allows for efficient sightseeing during free time. It's enjoyable to just hop on the bus and explore without thinking too much! Although it was a bus tour, it was very efficient and offered plenty of free time, so I was able to go around without any stress. Our driver, Chris, was fluent in Japanese and even though it was an English tour, he provided guidance in both English and Japanese! He drove skillfully, so there was no worry about motion sickness. The conversations during the tour and the explanations at each landmark were excellent, making the travel time enjoyable!
At the Dole Plantation, we had pineapple soft serve, which was quite a large portion, so sharing between two people is recommended. After about 20 minutes, we arrived at Haleiwa, where we had two hours of free time and received a recommended map, making it easy to explore! We enjoyed both the pineapple burger and garlic shrimp recommended by our driver before heading back. It was a very fun time!

A noticeable small bus welcomed us at the meeting point. There were a total of 17 tour participants, with only 3 Japanese, and all explanations were in English. There was a self-introduction time, so we needed to briefly introduce ourselves in English, mentioning where we were from, how many times we had been to Hawaii, and what we were looking forward to on this tour.
Now, although it has been corrected, I was worried because the tour course I signed up for was supposed to go directly from Honolulu to Haleiwa Town, but it deviated from the course midway. We switched from Freeway H1 to H3, passed through Kaneohe on the east coast, and headed north along the coastline. After passing the famous filming location Kualoa Ranch, we took a restroom break at Tropical Farms. Here, we could sample macadamia nuts and had the experience of cracking the nuts out of their shells with a stone. After a break at a fruit stand, we went to Sunset Beach. It was November, and surfers were challenging the high waves.
Then, the morning activities began, and we chose to take a walk at Waimea Falls Park. The entrance fee to the park was included in the tour price, and the guide paid for it. The course to the waterfall was rich in nature and very relaxing. The water volume of the waterfall was abundant due to the rainy season, which was enjoyable, but during the dry season, the water volume is low, so it's something to be cautious about depending on the date of your visit. We could swim near the waterfall, but it was murky, so we didn't swim. Since we had some time before the meeting time, we had lunch there.
After that, we moved to Haleiwa Town, and in the afternoon activity, we tried SUP (stand-up paddleboarding). The location was behind a shop called Surf & Sea, and life jackets were available at no extra charge. The tour guide provided instruction, and while it was easy to get on the board, standing up required some skill. We could also paddle while sitting on the board, which was enjoyable, and I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle up close.
Although I was worried because the tour was in a language I didn't understand, I was helped by a friendly guide and friendly tour companions.
目立つ小さなバスが集合場所まで出迎えてくれました。
ツアー客は総勢17人で、その中で日本人は3人だけ、全て英語での説明となります。
自己紹介タイムがあるので、どこから来たのか、ハワイは何回目か、このツアーに期待しているものなど簡単に英語で紹介する必要があります。
さて、現在は訂正されていますが、申し込んだ時のツアーコースはホノルルからハイレワタウンへ直行だったのが途中からコースから外れていたので心配しました。フリーウェイH1から途中H3に移り、東海岸のカネオヘを通過し海岸線を北上。映画のロケ地で有名なクアロア・ランチを通過後、トロピカルファームでトイレ休憩しました。ここではアカデミアナッツの試食ができ、また殻から石でナッツを取り出して食べる体験ができました。その後、フルーツスタンドで休憩した後、サンセットビーチに行きました。行ったのは11月で、サーファー達が高い波に挑戦していました。その後、午前のアクティビティが始まり、私達はワイメア滝公園での散歩を選択しました。公園へは入場料はツァー料に含まれ、ガイドが払ってくれました。滝までのコースは自然が豊かでのんびりと楽しむことができました。滝の水量は雨季だったので豊富で楽しめましたが、乾季は水量が少ないので行く日程によっては注意が必要です。滝壺近くで泳ぐこともできましたが、濁っていたので泳ぎませんでした。集合時間まで時間があったのでここでランチを済ませました。その後、ハレイワタウンに移動し、午後のアクティビティではSUP(スタンドアップパドル)に挑戦しました。場所はサーフ&シーという店の裏で、ライフジャケットは追加料金なしで利用できました。指導はツァーガイドが行い、簡単にボードに乗ることはできましたが、立ち上がるにはコツが要ります。ボードの上に座ったまま漕ぐこともできるので十分楽しめましたし、至近距離でウミガメに遭遇したのに感動しました。なお、貴重品ボックスと荷物を入れるロッカーは簡易なものだったので盗難を心配しましたが、特に問題ありませんでした。集合時間になったらバスに乗り、途中でトイレ休憩後、ホノルルまで送ってくれました。
日本語が通じないツアーだったので心配しましたが、親しみあるガイドと友好的なツアー仲間に助けられました。
Do not forget to make a reservation for Waimea Falls during the dry season. Make sure to take a photo of the guide's notes on the meeting time with your smartphone to keep a record.

Was a good tour but it was a bit rushed, wish we would have been able to do a tour of the dole pineapple, it was just walk in and walk out. Also would have liked to stop at the beach instead of just drive by it.
Add a little beach time and tour of dole pineapple
18 of our group of 24 went on this excursion. A few things- SAM was absolutely fantastic! So much knowledge- loved it! The fruit stand was awesome, the macadamia nuts stop was great, we were able to get great souvenirs at the best prices, treats, coffee- delish, bathrooms were clean and staff provided an excellent experience. We did the Waterfalls (definitely recommend) in the morning and had lunch at the cafe/bar there. Everything we ordered was delicious and the drinks were amazing. Then we did kayaking, SUP and some exploring aka shopping and tastes of local foods, LOL. So glad to have taken this excursion. Sam even had ice in the cooler.
Check the weather and dress for your day! Bring a change of clothes and a towel. Enjoy!
The North Shore was amazing, and as expected for a championship event, the huge waves were impressive. I even encountered a sea turtle while paddleboarding. It was a great tour.
初ノースショア、さすがチャンピオン大会が開催されるだけありもの凄い大波に感動。SUP中にウミガメにも遭遇。良いツアーでした。

The tour was fun! Our Drivers gave us information about sites as we drove along! We stopped at the macadamia nut farm and fruit stand!! He gave us options about what was available for us to do! I was with a big group, we chose hiking to the waterfall and kayaking/paddleboarding!! The hike was along a paved road so not much hiking but swimming in a waterfall was worth it!! Make sure you wear water shoes that can tolerate walking on rocks if you get in at the waterfall! And while paddle boarding, I saw a turtle then ate gelato at one of the vendors near the lake!
Overall 9/10 experience!!! Would have loved to have gone to the beach as well but time didn’t permit
Dexter did a great job showing us around and getting everyone where they needed to be on time.
It wax a excellent all day your.
Thd Dole pineapple tour was only gor thd morning. At the end of Dole tourr we were a pineapple each!! We an awesome lunch by thd beach and visited local shops and pints of interest.
Our guide was very friendly and informative.
Wrestling would recommend this tour
Our guide Kinoa was fantastic, chatting all day but not obtrusive or overbearing. We saw some beautiful scenery, had a delicious lunch and learnt so much about being an Hawaiian and real living in Hawaii, not the tourist hype of Waikiki.
