2.5-Hour Haleiwa ATV Tour & Off-Road Small-Group Adventure - Top Rated!

AMAZING TIME

Reviewed by: Hunter

My wife and I went on this adventure while in Oahu on our honeymoon. We thought there would be multiple groups on our tour, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out it was only us and our guide. While the views, terrain, history, and overall experience was absolutely incredible, the game changer in this was our guide, Keoki. He was one of the most genuine, friendly, and passionate people that we have ever met. He went as to far as to welcome my wife and I into his Ohana and shared the meaning and importance of the "Aloha Spirit" with us, and truly made us feel welcome on not just the tour, but also on the island.

I cannot recommend this tour, or Keoki as a guide, enough. We had such a wonderful experience and will be back to see them next time we are on Oahu!

Mahola, Keoki! - Hunter

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

Good tour with perfect guide

Reviewed by: Peter

Uncle Kevin was a great guide, the whole group was nice and we spent more time together than expected.
The activities were so/so - and quite short for some. Also Turtle beach stop was cancelled while other stops (unplanned) took a while.
We saw a lot and learned about Hawaiian culture and life.
4 star for the tour 5 star for the guide

All-Inclusive Oahu Island Tour with Lunch & Waimea Valley Waterfall Nature Walk

Beautiful spots and a great guide

Reviewed by: Laura J

The list of places to visit is nicely curated and I think we had enough time to walk around each site, take photos, and even buy souvenirs. Our guide, Jojo, was fantastic. He had too many stories to tell to keep us entertained and was very knowledgeable about Hawaii's culture, history, and ecology.
The only downside of this tour was that you are on a large bus so, if you are picked up last and have a seat at the back of the bus, you're going to spend a lot of time going on and off. However, Jojo knew that this might be frustrating and started counting time right after the last person was out.
The bus was clean and the lunch was ok.

Excellent Excursion

Reviewed by: Terri

The PCC was a wonderful place to spend a day. We felt welcome and valued by everyone. The activities and shows were really fun and entertaining, and the place is beautifully maintained.

Our tour operators were also very good. There was a guide waiting at the pickup location, helping everyone to sign in and get ready for the bus. While we were enroute, the guide was entertaining and helped the time pass quickly. Then at the end of the day, the bus was right there where we were told it would be, and the trip home was smooth.

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Wonderful experience!

Reviewed by: Holly. K

The guide was very friendly, kind and helpful. The horses were really smart and well trained. It was the first time for us to do horse riding, but nothing was difficult and had a really good time spending time enjoying the beautiful beach while riding the cute horses. We enjoyed this activity the most between all the things we did during our vacation in Hawaii.
The transportation to this place was a bit poor. We took Uber to this place and tried to schedule an Uber/Lyft for going back before hand but it was unavailable around this spot. On the way back, there was no Uber/ Lyft available so we had to use taxi which cost us triple. I would recommend renting a car to get to this place or set up a taxi pick up in advance so you wouldn’t have to worry.
The activity itself was really good and it was worth paying all the cost getting here and going back as well.
We would definitely want to go back next time we visit Oahu again!

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Worth it

Reviewed by: Wes M.

We really enjoyed the trail ride. The staff was friendly and the group was small. The scenery was the best part. I will admit I thought we would be riding in the sand and the water but that was not the case. Most of the ride was on a trail behind the actual beach but you still got a great view of the beach. This is a basic and slow ride and the horses basically walk themselves. It was expensive but the memories are worth ii.

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Nice but left us wanting

Reviewed by: Dogmom1980

The ladies who worked there were nice and friendly. The horses seemed well cared for. It was a nice ride but we would have preferred a little faster. It was Super slow. And they made us wear a helmet which we thought was not necessary, especially with how slow we went. Also it would have looked better in the pictures without the helmet. So overall, for the price, we really would have liked these things mentioned. A little disappointed unfortunately. But it was nice and peaceful.

Our three guides (Liz, Carter, and Kiki- may be wrong about the names, sorry) gave us an amazing experience and were so fun! I felt safe the entire time and felt confident by the end to go upside down. I ziplined side by side with my husband and loved every minute! The views are absolutely breathtaking! If you're an adrenaline junkie, this is an absolute must! If you're not, I would still recommend this to try something new, exciting, and maybe even conquer a fear!

North Shore ATV Tour Off-Road Adventure - Oceanfront Trails, Meet Farm Animals & Tree Planting

Expect a fun time!

Reviewed by: Candy

This was me and my husband's first time riding an ATV, they do not throw you out there without training on how to ride the atv. They slowly start you off with a guide to make sure that you are safe to ride on your own. Then the exhilarating fun begins with screaming and a burst of zeal to finish the circle trail. This was a lot of fun and I recommend almost all ages to go. Also they take you by the ocean to ride as well as the trail. Oh I almost forgot!!! They have cool animals if you like to pet and feed them.

I wonder if it's okay for beginners in horseback riding. 乗馬初心者でも大丈夫かな

Reviewed by: ウミガメ

Since the trail tour at Kualoa Ranch was fully booked and I was planning to go to Haleiwa, I made a reservation here, which was available nearby. The staff explained how to operate the horse, but I couldn't understand any English at all. However, I was able to grasp the basic commands for the horse (go, stop, turn left, turn right) through gestures. Once we set off on the trail, our horse followed the staff's horse on its own, so we hardly needed to use the reins (the horse is smart!).

While swaying on the horse's back, I was able to slowly enjoy the view of the ocean through the pine forest by the beach, making it enjoyable even for someone with no riding experience. It's best to wear clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty, and keep your belongings to a minimum (no backpacks allowed; you can fit a phone and a water bottle in the saddlebag that hangs from the saddle).

クアロアランチのトレイルツアーが予約いっぱいでハレイワに行くつもりだったので近隣で予約可能だったこちらを予約。
対応してくれたスタッフが馬の操作方法を説明してくれましたがこちらは英語全く聞き取れず
しかし身振りでお馬さんの簡単な操作方法(進め・止まれ・右左ターン)は理解できましたしいざトレイルに出発するとスタッフの馬に我々の馬は勝手に追従してくれてほぼ、手綱操作は不要でした(お馬さん賢い!)
馬の背中に揺られながらゆっくりとビーチ横の松林を海を眺めてることができ乗馬未経験でも楽しむことができました。
服装・靴は汚れても良い格好で荷物も最小限(リュック不可で鞍に引っ掛けるサドルバッグにケータイと水筒が入るくらい)でいきましょう。

We had a blast ATV-ing at North shore stables! While you wait to get started they have a small petting zoo with goats, a pig, tortoise; and puppies which was a nice surprise.

Reviewed by: Spring

Riding the atv is harder for people with weak arms as I am BUT we had a lot of fun especially when driving in the rally without speed limit ( you won’t be able to drive too fast of course with the bumps) and the boys enjoyed it so much! The part I like the most is when we got to the ocean side and see the breathtaking view there. Our tour guides also offered to take photos for us which was so nice. Plus there are a lot of farm animals in the ranch and you got to feed them if you like. Puppies and lambs are sooo cute!! Recommend it!!

Don’t hesitate! Just BOOK IT!

Reviewed by: Kim T.

My bf and I were looking to book an ATV experience and we were so glad we chose to do one at North Shore Stables!

We got there at exactly 9a. Our experience was scheduled for 9:45a. We filled out a liability waiver and got to hang out with the animals at the petting area. Before we started the experience, we were given a face mask (breathable ski mask essentially), a helmet and sunglasses for eye protection.

Then we were led to the ATV course. We had a guide leading the way and another guide behind us. I felt completely safe and the guides (Kai and Dawn) were so nice and helpful! There was another couple in our group so a total of 4 of us plus 2 guides. I loved that the group was small and we had enough time to go around the course a number of times. Afterwards, we went to the beach where Dawn took a bunch of photos for us. It was great! I can’t recommend this experience enough!!

You can also take horse riding lessons and go on a horse riding tour at North Shore Stables as well! We will have to check that out next time!
