CLIMB Works Keana Farms - Oahu Zipline Tour with 8 Lines, ATV Ride, Rappel, Skybridge Course

A fun, exciting Oahu activity

Reviewed by: Jacky Daniels

First we took a 15 min off-road drive up to the first zipline. You'll see mountain views, ocean views, and will be zipping above the forest/farmland. The staff at Climbworks were really nice and funny; they really got to know all of the customers and made the whole adventure even better. They also offered us fresh fruit/nuts that is grown on the farm throughout the tour. The whole experience felt very safe and the grounds were really well-kept. This is the perfect option if you are looking for a fun, exciting activity on Oahu.

I was able to spend a relaxing time. のんびりとした時間を過ごせました

Reviewed by: チャモロ

On the day of participation, there were only four of us, so the shuttle bus was almost like a private charter. At the ranch, the local guide was able to teach us how to ride properly, thanks to the small group size. The scenery along the way was mountainous, but the view from the summit was amazing! The guide took plenty of photos at the top, and of course, it was free! There were no crowds at all, allowing us to enjoy a relaxing time.

I went horse back riding with my sister not really knowing what to expect. But let me tell you something, it was incredible! Kali, our tour guide, took us through beautiful path ways. It was nice to get out of the city, especially cause I’m from LA, and experience the country side on a horse. The horses were calm and I felt comfortable the whole time.

ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー 迫力満点!至近距離で野生のサメを見学 <送迎可>

There were a lot of big sharks, but... 大きいサメが沢山いたけど…

Reviewed by: プリン

The weather was cloudy and bad, which might be why the boat was rocking so much that even I, who usually doesn't get seasick, felt like I was going to die from seasickness. As soon as I confirmed that the boat was small, I took motion sickness medication, but it didn't help at all. It was no time to be worried about sharks. We were in a cage to see the sharks, but the waves were strong, and the cage was shaking so much that I hit my head multiple times. My husband said it felt like being put in a washing machine. There were quite a few large sharks swimming around. I think it would have been fun if we had gone on a day when the waves were calmer.

曇りで天気が悪かったためか船が揺れまくりで普段船酔いしない私も船酔いで死にそうでした。船が小さいのを確認した瞬間に酔い止めを飲んだのに全然効きませんでした。サメどころではなかった。檻の中に入ってサメを見るのですが、波が強くて檻がぐらんぐらんして頭を何回も打ちました。旦那はまるで洗濯機に入れられたようだと言っておりました。サメはかなりデカいのがウヨウヨとおりました。波が静かそうな日に行ったら楽しかったと思います。

I became a huge fan of horses! It was so much fun! 馬が大好きになりました!楽しすぎた!

Reviewed by: Y.H

The local staff may not understand Japanese, but they showed us a video explanation in Japanese, which was reassuring. Each horse was very gentle, and we enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing time while feeling the sound of the waves and the wind by the North Shore. There was a lovely meadow where the horses stopped to eat grass, which was incredibly cute and amusing. I found myself naturally conversing with the horses! (laughs) They also took a group photo with the beach in the background, which became a nice memory. The staff immediately took care of the horses and gave them water after the course, so I think it's good to actively engage in conversation with them. They were very kind and attentive. We hugged and took photos together, creating the best memories. Thank you very much. There were also some friendly and cute animals besides the horses at the ranch! (laughs)

現地のスタッフの方は日本語はわかりませんが、日本語の説明動画を見せてくれるので安心でした。どの馬もとてもいい子でノースショアの海辺の波の音と風を感じながらなんとも心地よい時間がゆっくり過ぎていきました。途中馬たちの大好きな草原があり、草を食べて止まってしまうのもたまらなくかわいくて面白かったです。自然と馬と会話してました!(笑)海辺をバックに集合写真も撮って下さり、記念になりました。スタッフの方はコース終了後すぐに馬にお水をあげたりお世話をしていますので、こちらから積極的に話しかけるのもいいと思います。やさしく丁寧に対応してくださいました。ハグをして一緒に写真も撮っていただきました。最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。牧場には馬以外にも人懐っこいかわいい子がいましたよ!(笑)

No problems at all. They provide transportation from Waikiki to Keana Farms with shared rides. It takes a little over an hour. Once you arrive, you'll be asked to sign a consent form on a touch panel (available in Japanese). First, you'll get accustomed with a practice zip line, and then you'll be taken to the highest point by a buggy. You zip line one after another by following along. It was so much fun! It lasts about two hours in total. The three handsome staff members were very kind. I wasn't sure about the last photo sale, but in the end, I was able to download them for free. I wonder why? I highly recommend it to everyone.

Reviewed by: CRAZY5

We participated as a family of five. Since it was the end of the year, there were many Japanese people, and everyone in the same group was Japanese, which created a sense of camaraderie towards the end, making it a lot of fun.

As others have mentioned, the crew members were very friendly, and they took care of all the setup, so we could just relax and enjoy ourselves. It was thrilling and refreshing, and it was the most enjoyable activity we've done in Hawaii so far. The kids had a great time too.

It's possible to take pictures while holding an iPhone, but having a GoPro or similar device allows for much better shots. The crew also takes photos and sells them: one photo for $15, four for $30, or all 50 for $66. Most people ended up buying all of them.

The North Shore is a great place as well. You can cover everything in about two hours, and although the mornings start a bit early, I think it's efficient for making the most of the day. I would love to do it again.

家族5人で参加しました。年末ということもあり日本人の方も多く、同じグループみなさん日本人で最後の方には連帯感も生まれ楽しかったです。
他の方も書かれていましたが、クルーの皆さんも非常にフレンドリーでしかもセットアップも全てやってくれるし、あとは身を任せて楽しむだけでした。
スリルも爽快感もあり、これまでのハワイでのアクティビティでは1番楽しかったです。子供もすごく楽しんでいました。
iPhone持ちながらも可能ですが、GoProなどあるとかなりいい画が撮れます。またクルーの方が写真を撮ってくれ、販売されるのですが、1枚15ドル、4枚30ドル、50枚全て66ドルで購入できます。ほとんどの方が全部買っていました。

ノースショアという場所もいいですね。2時間ほどで全て回れるし、朝は少し早いですが効率良く1日が使えていいと思います。
またやってみたいです。

At first, I thought it might be scary, but when I actually tried it, it felt amazing and was the best! I was a bit anxious because it was only in English, but even without being able to speak English, the instructor explained things with gestures and created a great atmosphere, so I didn't feel scared at all.

We participated as a family of five, and at first, we were anxious because we couldn't speak English. However, our group consisted entirely of Japanese people, so we had one male staff member who could speak some Japanese, along with one male staff member and one female staff member who spoke only English. All the staff were cheerful and polite, and we enjoyed ziplining while feeling the pleasant breeze in the great outdoors. The price is somewhat high, but I believe it's necessary to operate on such a scale. I'm sure you will feel satisfied.

家族5名で参加し英語が話せないので最初は不安でしたが私達のグループは全員日本人だったので多少日本語ができる男性スタッフ1名と、英語のみ話す男性1名、女性1名のスタッフがついてくださいました。どのスタッフも明るく丁寧に接して下さり、大自然の中で気持ちの良い風を感じながらのジップラインでした。お値段は多少かかりますがこれだけの規模を運営する上では必要だと思いました。きっと満足感は得られると思います。

Amazing Polynesian Experience

What an amazing day, full of many unique experiences and very friendly staff.

It started with a great host on the bus ride to the centre. He was funny, informative and well spoken. The day continued with our guide throughout the centre. I recommend paying for the Ambassador experience. It is worth the extra dollars to ensure you make all the shows on time.

The feast we had for dinner was excellent quality and ample. There was the opportunity to eat seconds and thirds if you wanted.

The final show the breath of life was an amazing display. I would have been satisfied with just that show and dinner.

I will be recommending this experience to my family and friends.

Horseback riding by the seaside was wonderful! 海辺での乗馬は気持ちよかった!

Reviewed by: carori517

The horseback riding itself was great, but it was quite far from Haleiwa, taking about 40 minutes by bike one way. I recommend renting a car or chartering a vehicle if you participate in this option. However, unlike Kualoa, riding by the seaside was very pleasant with the refreshing sea breeze. The guide was in English, but there were Japanese informational materials at the reception, and they also showed a Japanese instructional video before the ride, which was reassuring.

乗馬そのものは良かったですが、ハレイワからも離れており自転車で片道40分くらいはかかりました。こちらのオプションに参加する場合はレンタカーか、車チャーターすることをお勧めします。ただ、クアロアとは違い海辺で乗馬できるのはとても海風が心地よく爽快でした。英語ガイドでしたが、受付に日本語の案内書面もありますし乗馬する前に日本語のレクチャー動画も見せてくれるので安心でした。

It took about an hour and a half from Waikiki, but it was a very peaceful and relaxing ranch. The horseback riding options for preschoolers are limited, but this plan is very fulfilling. We were able to leisurely stroll through the vast grounds and even had designated photo time at various points. Along the way, we learned a lot about Hawaiian plants, how to care for horses, and how to give commands. At the end, we gave a thank-you carrot, brushed the horse, and took photos, making for a total experience of about 1 hour and 30 minutes. They kindly answered all of my daughter's many questions, and she fell in love with horseback riding. It felt like a personal English lesson while riding, which was a great deal. The entrance to the ranch is a bit tricky, but it was truly a wonderful place. If you have some time to spare, I highly recommend it!

ワイキキから1時間半位かかりましたが、とてものどかでのんびり出来る牧場でした。未就学児でもできる乗馬は限られていますがこちらのプランはとても充実しています。広大な敷地をのんびり散策しながらポイントで止まって写真TIMEまで配慮してもらえました。道中ハワイの植物の事や、馬のお世話の仕方、指示の出し方等など深いお話が聞けました。最後にありがとうのニンジンをあげてブラッシング、写真撮影で終わりですが、トータル1:30は体験できました。娘の数々の質問にも丁寧に答えてくれ乗馬が大好きになりました。

ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー 迫力満点!至近距離で野生のサメを見学 <送迎可>

It feels like being away... アウェイ感が、、

Reviewed by: Seiji

I participated in the morning tour. (Since I was staying in Haleiwa, I joined the tour alone from the local area.) The reception booth is open early in the morning, so you just need to say your name and then wait at the designated spot to board the boat. Since it was a completely English tour, I honestly felt a bit anxious because I'm not very good at English.

Once I got on the boat, the captain-like person came out after a while and started talking about the precautions with some jokes mixed in. Honestly, I couldn't understand what he was saying at all (I think he was explaining something like not to lean on the cage or stick your feet out, or you might get eaten by a shark). However, after that, he talked about how the teams would be divided and the order of entry into the cage, which I managed to understand.

Then, following the instructions, when it was time, we put on our underwater masks and snorkels and entered the water. No fins were allowed; we were barefoot. I wasn't timing it, but we were given plenty of time, enough to get bored. However, since there were quite a few people in the cage, it felt like we were just floating around and observing the sharks underwater. I tried to dive down and observe once, but I got scolded for that.

That said, the sharks didn't seem to be interested in humans, and while I was nervous when I first entered, the fear gradually faded away. In the end, there were even people taking pictures while hanging their feet over the edge of the cage. It seems there were no restrictions on bringing cameras or videos; for those who didn't have one, they were available for rent for a fee.

After about ten minutes of watching, I started to get bored and thought, "Is this ever going to end?" However, throughout the time we were in the cage, the sharks were always nearby, swimming around. They might have been throwing out some food.

Once all the teams finished, we headed straight back to the port. There wasn't really anything else to see.

Even though I participated alone, my lack of English skills and communication ability made it feel quite isolating. All the other participants were young American students who were all chattering among themselves, and I felt a bit left out. I ended up just looking off into the distance by myself.

Still, I think it was good to experience something I normally wouldn't get to do. By the way, the captain seemed like a nice person. He was considerate of me being alone.

P.S.: After reading others' impressions, I noticed something different from my experience: the boat's swaying. It might have been better in the morning, or maybe the waves were just calm that day, but it was very comfortable. No participants seemed to get seasick, so the conditions were probably good.

Also, a note of caution: there were a lot of jellyfish, possibly due to the season. They were small and looked like trash, so it was hard to avoid them. If you're bare-skinned, you might get stung quite a bit. I recommend wearing a rash guard that covers your arms just in case.

朝一のツアーに参加しました。(ハレイワに滞在していたので現地から一人で参加)
朝早くから受付のブースは空いているので、名前を言ってあとは指定された場所で待機していれば乗船できます。
完全な英語ツアーなので英語があまり得意ではない僕にとっては正直、不安でした。
船に乗り込むとしばらくして船長さんらしき人が出てきて何やら冗談混じりで注意事項を話し始めます。正直何言ってるか全然わからないw
(多分ケージにもたれかかったり、足出すなよ。サメに喰われるぞ的な説明だったかと)
ただ、その後ケージに入るチーム分けと入る順番を話してくれてこれは何とかなりました。
あとは指示に従って時間になれば水中マスクとシュノーケルをつけて入ります。フィンはなし。素足です。
時間を計っていたわけではないですが、飽きるくらい十分の時間が与えられます。
ただオリに入る人数がそこそこ多いのでプカプカ浮きながら水中を見てサメを観察する感じです。一回頭から潜って観察したんですが、やるなって怒られました。
とはいえ、サメは人間に興味無さそうだし、入った時はドキドキですが、だんだんと恐怖感は無くなります。
しまいにはオリに足かけて潜って写真撮ってる人もいました。
カメラとかビデオの持ち込み、撮影は制限無いようです。ない人には貸し出しも有料でしてるみたいでした。
さすがに10分も見ると飽きてきて、もう終わらないかなぁなんて思ってしまいました。ただオリの中にいる間中、サメはずっと近くにいてウロウロしてくれてました。エサでも撒いてるのかも。
全チーム見終わったらすぐ港に直帰。ほかに特に何かを見るということもありませんでした。

一人での参加ですが、僕にあまり英語力とコミュ力がなかったのもありますが、結構なアウェイ感です。他の参加者がみんなアメリカの学生さんみたいな若い人ばっかりだったのて内輪でキャッキャやってて、ちょっとその中には入れないなあと。遠くを見ながらのボッチでした。

まあそれでも普段体験出来ない事が出来たんで良かったかなと思います。
ちなみに船長さんはなかなかいい人そうでしたよ。ボッチの僕にも気をつかってくれてました。


追記:他の皆さんの感想みて僕の時と違うと思ったのは揺れ。朝一がいいのか、たまたま波が少なかったのか、快適そのものでした。参加者で酔ってるひとは誰もおらず環境は良かったのかも。
あと、注意点ですが、季節柄かも知れませんが、めっちゃクラゲがいます。しかも小さくてゴミみたいなやつなので避けようがない。
裸だとかなりチクチクやられるかも知れません。腕が隠れるラッシュガードを念のため着ていくことをお勧めします。

Horseback riding experience 乗馬体験

Reviewed by: dot

I arrived earlier than scheduled, but I was greeted with a smile. Everything was in English, and the staff were very kind and friendly. The horses were really cute, and riding in such beautiful scenery was a lot of fun. It was very quiet, so it felt like a private experience! The prices are reasonable, and I hope more people get to enjoy this.

時間より早く着きましたが、笑顔で対応してもらえました。すべて英語ですが、スタッフの方もとても優しくて親切です。馬もとっても可愛いし、綺麗な景色の中の乗馬はとても楽しかったです。すごく空いているので、貸切です!!
お値段もお手頃だし、もっとたくさんの人に利用してもらいたいなぁ。

クライムワークス・ケアナファーム ジップライン体験(3時間) オアフ島最長800メートルのラインでノースショアの大自然と絶景を満喫<7本>

A valuable experience 貴重な体験

Reviewed by: チーちゃん

There were three of us, a young couple of two, and a group of five foreign family members.
We went armed in a jeep.
The explanations were all in English, but we managed somehow.
I got hungry from morning until we returned, so I would have appreciated some light snacks or a stop at a store on the way back.
The scenery was beautiful and it was fun, so I wish we could have taken more photos.

私達3人と若いカップル2人、後は外人の家族5人のグループでした。
武装して、ジープでGO
説明は全部英語でしたが、、まぁなんとかなりました
朝から帰りまでお腹が空いちゃうので、簡単な軽食でもあるか、帰りお店にでも寄ってもらえると嬉しかったかな
景色もよく楽しかったので
写真をもう少したくさん撮って欲しかったな

I thought there would be other Japanese participants based on the reviews, but I was the only one this time. The driver didn't talk much, which might have been because I didn't initiate conversation, but he wasn't unfriendly. Some drivers engage with everyone during the ride, asking where they're from, but the journey was long, so it got a bit boring. There were Japanese screens for explanations that were almost like waiving rights. Most of the staff (if not all) didn't speak Japanese, but they seemed to care. Even if I didn't understand everything, it was fine as I could just follow what the person in front of me was doing. Sliding down seven times was a blast! I was a bit nervous on the first run, thinking it required more courage than skydiving, and I mentioned to the staff that I was a little nervous, but by the last run, I was enjoying it enough to choose the faster drop. The weather was also great. I could buy photos later, and although I initially chose 2-3, in the end, I got them all since they were the same price. Getting them sent via email later is quite modern. The next day, I fell and hurt my hand, and I thought if it had been before the zip line, I might not have been able to hold the handle, so I’m grateful for the day I chose.

口コミを見ると日本人の参加者もいるかと思っていたら今回私一人の日本人。
ドライバーさんはこちらから話さないからか感じは悪くなかったですが終始無口でした。ツアーによっては移動中に皆どこからですか?とか話をふるドライバーもいますが道中長かったのでちょっと退屈。現地では権利放棄に近い説明も日本語の画面がありました。
スタッフもほとんど(全く)日本語を話しませんがちゃんと気にかけてくれてた気がします。説明は全部はわからなくても前の人を見ていればいいので大丈夫でした。7本も滑ると満喫!!1本目はちょっと緊張してスカイダイビングより度胸いるかとも思いスタッフにもちょっとナーバスなどと言ってたのですが最後のダウンでは早く落ちる方を選ぶくらい楽しめました。お天気にも恵まれたのがよかったです。写真も後から買えて2-3枚買うのと全部が同じ値段だったのではじめチョイスしていましたが結局全部しました。
後からメールで送られてくるのも今どきです。
翌日転倒して手を痛めてしまいジップの前だったらハンドルを持てないので無理だったかもと選んだ日にも自己感謝です。
