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>

I had a great experience! いい体験ができました!

Reviewed by: kitty

We went out to sea on a boat that can hold about 20 people, crossing rough waves. We were the only Japanese there. We were divided into three groups and entered the cage in turn. The sharks gathered due to the sound of the boat's engine, so we were able to see many of them! They are not carnivorous and are said to be a type that does not attack humans, so we could enjoy it with peace of mind. While waiting on the boat and inside the cage, it rocked quite a bit, so almost everyone got seasick. Everyone who was lively and energetic on the way out was silent and exhausted on the way back... it was a good memory (laughs). As noted in the precautions, it's definitely better to take motion sickness medication. Also, it can get cold if the wind is strong, so I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear and a bath towel to dry off quickly.

20人乗りくらいのボートで荒波をこえ沖まで出ました。
日本人は私たちだけでした。
3グループに分けられ、順番に檻に入ります。
サメはボートのエンジン音で集まってくるのでたくさん見れました!
肉食ではないので人は襲わない種類らしく、安心して楽しめました。
待っている間のボートも、檻の中も、かなり揺れるのでほぼ全員船酔いしてました。
行きはノリノリで元気だったみんなが帰りは無言でぐったり。。。いい思い出です(笑)
注意事項にもあるとおり、酔い止めは絶対飲んだ方がいいですね。
あと、風が強いと寒いので羽織るものとすぐ体をふけるようにバスタオルは持って行った方がいいと思います。

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Polynesian cultural center

Reviewed by: Patty Carrillo

The Polynesian tour was great. This was our 2nd time going, but our grandson's first. He had a great time. We also upgrade with tour and our guide was fabulous,he knew his history of the islands. The luau and the food was good, we didn't try any poa. The students there serving were very helpful and good service. The best of all was the night show, loved it. Bus was on time. Our tour guide made it interesting on our way to the Polynesian Cultural center. Great tour to take. Though it was a long day, it's worth it.

Reviewed by: aloha spirits

It was a pleasant experience to ride horses slowly along the beach. I was a bit nervous since it was my first time riding, but the two female instructors were kind and guided me well. In the end, I felt a sense of unity with the horse! It became a valuable experience.

浜辺をゆっくり乗馬する気持ちの良い体験でした。初めての乗馬で緊張気味だったけど、女性二人のインストラクターが優しく指導してくれ、最後は馬との一体感も感じられたような!?貴重な体験になりました。

Reviewed by: nori

I drove to Polo Club by rental car, but I missed the sign and almost entered a different riding club next door, which was a close call. I was prepared based on everyone's posts, but I found that no one spoke Japanese at all. However, a kind female staff member explained everything to me multiple times, so it was okay. There was no practice or anything; we just started right away, and I was nervous at first, but the horses were very gentle, and I got used to it quickly. I thought everything would be along the coast, but we also went through some grassy areas, so I think it's better for those who are concerned to wear long pants. Walking by the seaside was truly pleasant, like a scene from a movie. I wished I had more time by the sea, but I learned that this company is the only one that allows you to walk along the coast, so I had a valuable riding experience and really enjoyed it.

ポロクラブまでレンタカーで行きましたが、看板に気づかずに通り過ぎてしまい、
隣の違う乗馬クラブに入りそうになって危なかったです。
みなさんの投稿で覚悟はしていましたが、日本語は全く通じません。
でも、現地スタッフの女性が優しく何度も説明してくれるので大丈夫でした。
練習もなにもなく、いきなりスタートで最初は緊張しましたが、とてもおとなしい馬ばかりですぐに慣れました。
全部が海沿いなのかと思っていましたが、途中草むらの中も入ったりしたので、気になる人は長ズボンの方がいいと思います。
海辺を歩いている時は本当に気持ちよく、映画のワンシーンのようでした。
もっともっと海辺の時間が欲しかったですが、海沿いを歩けるのはこちらの会社だけとのことで、貴重な乗馬体験ができて楽しかったです。

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Amazing Adventure

Reviewed by: Kevin D

My girlfriend and I decided to do this as a spur of the moment adventure and it was well worth it. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable about the sharks we would be seeing. The boat fit 16 people so we were split into two groups of 8 that took turns going into the cage. The cage was large and was able to fit 8 people comfortably. The instant I went underwater there were three sharks just swimming right by the cage. We ended up seeing about 6-8 different sharks and it was a surreal experience. I would highly recommend this trip!

PCC ambassador luau

Reviewed by: Rochelle

We had a fantastic time at this activity. We would encourage anyone attending for the first time to spend the extra on the ambassador package. There is so much to see and there is now way to get it all in one day and the tour guide will make sure you get to participate in all the live shows they put on there as well as re-entry into the park for another day to see everything else. It is a family friendly environment with the no alcohol on the premises and operated almost entirely by university students from the polynesian islands, so you can get a real feel for the many different cultures and peoples represented. overall it was awesome and well worth the time and money.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

AMAZING EXPERIENCE -- MUST SEE!!!

Reviewed by: Jennifer Diehl

This tour should be experienced by all who visit the Hawaiian Islands. We attended this tour because my parents who travelled with us had participated in it 20 years ago said it was a must see. I knew very little about the Polynesian Culture before attending and the by the time it was over, my family and I were in awh of this culture. We attended with our two children ages 12&14 and they also loved it. Learning about the other countries who are part of the polynesian culture had us asking questions at every turn, participating in some of the games they play on the different islands had us all with smiles not to mention the wonderful show at days end. We paid for the Super Ambassador Package, yes a more costly package but WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!! You will learn much more about this amazing culture and the many islands by having your own guide. Our guide's name was Sepa, a truly amazing and inspiring young lady from the Islands of Tonga. Not only did we experience many of the polynesian islands while at the PCC but through Sepa we were able to learn from someone personally who lived as this tour depicts. We will always have fond memories of our time spent at the PCC as well as our time with Sepa.

We got picked up from the hotel at 10am and brought to the cultural center where we were asked to pay $25 for the tour guide and lunch. we didn't feel like having such a big lunch so we did not take the offer. There were too many people and we hardly see anything. The Luau was so so and the line was too long. We rather spend the quality time near the beach sipping some cold beer.
