I must admit, I was a bit apprehensive about this adventure as the fateful morning arrived. We were in Oahu visiting our Son and his wife, she was particularly interested in the shark tour. My wife, on the other hand, would have none of it, fortunately, they have an 'Observer' option available. We boarded the Kai Ou after removing our shoes and headed out. The Captain explained that the sharks had become accustomed to the sound of the engines since there had been crabbing done in the past and they would not need to chum the water...we were going to be the bait. The water was absolutely beautiful, a bit on the choppy side, however, which made entering the cage a little more adventurous. It was really amazing being in the water with the sharks all around, there were between 8 and twelve, plus a few other fish, including some very large Trumpet Fish. I think my wife got the worst end of the deal as she was sea sick when we got back in the boat. The crew members were awesome, I would definitely recommend this adventure!!!

It was a good experience, but the waves were intense and I got seasick. It might be a bit tough for those who are sensitive to seasickness. Also, it's better to pay the crew to take photos for you! I saw some beautiful photos taken by others. It's quite difficult to take them yourself.
いい経験できましたけど、波がすごくて船酔いしました。船酔いに弱いかたにはちょっと…。
また、写真はお金を払ってクルーにとってもらったほうがいいですよ!他のかたが撮ってもらった写真を見ましたがとても素敵でした!

Seriously guys, this is a must. There was a whole bunch of sharks circling around us, and we saw a school of fishes too! I mean come on, you could finally say you swam with the Sharks! Tip: take motion sickness pills. The boat ride there could make you feel a little sick

The waters were choppy but that didn't stop us! The crew was very polite and professional. You can watch the sharks from the boat while the other groups go too so you aren't bored. I do a lot of snorkeling and diving around the island, but this was a very unique experience. I will be bringing any other people who visit me to your company, thank you for an unforgettable time!

I live here on the island and do a good amount of hiking. I thought this hike was pretty cool! Our guide, Nui, was extremely knowledgeable about the Hawaiian culture and plants in the area. The trail has TONS of strawberry guava and mountain apple trees along it. He pointed out plants that were native. He also pointed out the invasive plants, the problems they cause, and how or why they were brought here. It was very interesting! What made this hike special for me was is that we were hiing deep into the mountains where there aren't any houses or sign of urban development in view. This is quite rare for me. Most of the hikes I've done, known or less known, have some area that shows a city or buildings or concrete structures. Nui also stopped at a campsite to let us get some beautiful scenic pictures. This was my favorite part of the trip. The view of rows of ridges and the valley that we were hiking in was breathtaking.

Last year, I went horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, but the course and scenery were monotonous, and it felt more like just "riding a horse." However, this valley horseback riding plan was full of ups and downs and varied landscapes, making it exciting and thrilling throughout. At Happy Trails, all the support comes from local natives, and they provide explanations and instructions in advance, as well as communicate in simple English, so I think anyone can enjoy it with peace of mind. Just keep in mind that time passes according to Hawaiian time, so that's something to be aware of. The Moanalua Gardens and Dole Plantation included in the tour are just for a brief visit. In particular, Moanalua Gardens requires a $3 entrance fee, so we didn't go in. We couldn't see any turtles due to the weather, but that's just how it goes.
During our lunch break while exploring Haleiwa, we had burgers at Kua Aina near the meeting point and the classic shave ice at Matsumoto Grocery Store, which left us with little time. I wanted to explore for about another hour, so I deducted one star for that. If you're a repeat visitor to Oahu, renting a car might be better, but for those of us with less experience, participating in this tour with the guide's explanations was very worthwhile.
昨年はクアロアランチで乗馬をしましたが、コースも景色も単調でただ”馬に乗った”と言う感じが強かったのですが、この渓谷乗馬プランは起伏や景観が変化に富み、飽きるどころかわくわく、どきどきの連続でした。 ハッピートレイルズでは全て現地のNativeの方がサポートされますが、事前に注意事項などを説明書きで教えていただけるし、簡単な英語で対応してくれますので、どなたでも安心して楽しめると思います。 ただ、過ぎゆく時間はハワイ時間なので、その辺はご愛敬。 ツアーに含まれるモアルアナガーデンやドールプランテーションはお付き合い程度。特にモアルアナガーデンは$3必要なので、私たちは入りませんでした。 天候の関係で亀には会えませんでしたが、こればかりは仕方有りませんね。
昼食も兼ねたハレイワ散策では、解散場所近くのクア・アイナでハンバーガーを、マツモトグロサリーストアで定番のシェイブアイスを食べて時間が無くなりました。 後1Hぐらい散策したかったので、★一つ減点です。 オアフリピーターの方ならレンタカーの方が良いかもしれませんが、経験の浅い我々はガイドさんの説明含めたこのツアーに参加してとても良かったと思います。

It was more fun than I expected. At first, I was nervous, but once I took off, it was exhilarating. The instructors were cheerful, but they were also very thorough about safety, which made me feel secure. There are a total of seven lines. At first, I was tense for no reason, but by the last two lines, I was able to start backward and even do a peace sign upside down. While gliding (or more accurately, while flying), it felt amazing, and combined with the vast scenery of Keana Farm, it was an emotional first-time experience. You don't need any special physical strength or skills. I highly recommend experiencing the fun of flying in the sky. If I have the chance, I would definitely do it again.
予想以上に楽しかったです。
最初は、ドキドキ、一度、飛んでしまえば、ワクワクです。
インストラクターの方々は、陽気ですが、安全は、徹底していて、安心できます。
ラインは、全部で、7本。
最初は、必要以上に力んでしまいますが、最後の2本位になると、後ろ向きで、スタート出来たり、逆様で、ピースサインとかも、出来るようになります。
滑空(正確には、滑走)中は、とても気持ち良く、ケアナファームの広大な景色と相まって人生初体験の感動です。
別段、体力や、技術は入りません。
楽しく、空を飛ぶ感覚を是非、経験して見てください。

We participated as a family of three.
My husband had his first horseback riding experience, and my 8-year-old son rode alone for the first time.
Honestly, I thought my husband would have a nonchalant reaction like, "Well, it's for the kid's experience..."
We were even discussing going to the zoo the day before, but there were plenty of animals here (^u^).
None of the staff spoke Japanese.
They gave simple explanations and chatted, and just when we were getting ready, a wild horse appeared!!!
It was nerve-wracking to think, "Who will ride it?!" but of course, the staff member rode it (phew!).
Everyone took turns mounting the horse for photos! We got some really wonderful and cool pictures!
For a while after we set off, the photographer walked ahead to take pictures for us.
We climbed the red dirt mountains unique to Hawaii, enjoying the flowers, trees, and birds, and arrived at an amazing scenic spot!!!
In the refreshing breeze, we saw vast grasslands and the ocean.
It was the best!
On the way down, we pointed out the areas with good views, indicating quite a bit higher up the mountain.
I was worried about my 8-year-old, but since the horse was well-trained, there were no issues.
At one point, the horse seemed like it was going to run, and I panicked and stopped it, but my son actually wanted it to run...
My husband, who I was also worried about, said, "I underestimated horseback riding! It was amazing! I want to do it again!" sounding like a kid.
On the way back, we could stop by North and stroll around,
and we will definitely go to Gunstock Ranch again!
I absolutely recommend it!
家族3人で参加しました。
旦那=初乗馬、息子8歳=初一人乗り。
正直、旦那の「まあまあ、子供の経験の為にね・・・」的などうでもよかったみたいな感想が来るかと思ってました。
前日の動物園でも行こうか?なんて話してたんですが、
ここで十分な位いろんな動物がいました(^u^)
スタッフは全員日本語話せません。
簡単に説明やら雑談やらして、そろそろって時に荒馬登場!!!
「誰が乗るか?!」とドキドキでしたが、勿論スタッフさんが乗りました(ホッ!)
皆、順番で馬にまたがり写真撮影! すご~く素敵でかっこいい写真がとれました!
出発して暫くはカメラマンも徒歩で先回りして取ってくれました。
ハワイ特有の赤土の山を、花や木や鳥を見ながら登って行き、すごい風景の場所に到着!!!
気持ちいい風の中、広がる草原、海。
最高でした!
下る途中に、景色の良かった場所はあそこら辺だって、結構山の上の方を指してました。
心配していた8歳も、しつけられた馬だったので問題なし。
途中馬が走りそうになりビビって止めたんですが、本人は走って欲しかったって・・・
こちらも心配していた旦那ですが、「乗馬舐めてた!最高だった!またやりたい!」
と子供の様な事をおっしゃってました。
帰りにノースに寄ってブラブラと出来るし、
次もガンストックランチ行きます!
絶対おすすめ!

I am very satisfied. The response was quick; although I received a notification that there was an issue, the follow-up was good. I was a bit flustered for a moment, but it turned out to be a very enjoyable tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, sharing information about the town's scenery, the timing of the flowers, and their names, which I found impressive. There was plenty of time, and the price was reasonable, so I highly recommend it. I participated in another tour as well, but due to a mix-up, I accidentally booked the same option twice. When I contacted them via email after the tour, they promptly processed a refund, which was touching. I would like to request this tour company again next year and beyond.

I got hooked on horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch and was looking for other places to ride when I found Gunstock Ranch. I took The Bus, but there was no name at the bus stop. It was a bit of a gamble. No Japanese is spoken at the ranch. However, everyone was very friendly and responded with smiles, which was really nice!! I had a wonderful time riding through areas that made me think, "Are we really going here?!" It was a forest-like setting, and I enjoyed leisurely riding while watching cows and other horses.

The guide's talk was amazing! I've lived in Hawaii for a long time, so my Japanese is a bit shaky and there were many parts I didn't fully understand, but despite that, the talk was super fast-paced and packed with content! He kept using phrases like "~うんぬん," which I rarely hear anymore! I really enjoyed it (laughs). I learned about things and history that I would have completely overlooked if I had gone on my own, and it was truly fun. I want to participate again when I go back to Hawaii.

My wife and I were staying in Waikiki for a week and everyone said we need to make a trip to the North Shore when on Oahu. We scoured Trip Advisor, Yelp and other Hawaii Adventure sites and this one looked appealing. Turns out to be a great deal if you are looking for transportation to the North Shore and a variety of options to choose from once you get there. We chose to snorkel in the mornng at Sharks Cove then spend an hour at Waimea Bay, then in the afternoon we did the SUP down the river in Halewia.
The tour is setup where they pick you up on a ~20 person bus from multiple Waikiki hotels, then up a narrated drive up to the North Shore which took about 1 1/2 hours all together. Sam was our host for the day and is awesome at his job. Very knowledgable, humourous and makes the tour a good time. Once you are there, you get to see the options for the day such as hanging at the beach of Waimea Bay, surfing, snorkeling, beach bike cruise, Waimea Botanical Gardens, stand up paddle boarding and probably a few others options that I am missing. There is no additional cost to do these unless you want to do more than two. If there was one draw back for the day, it was that we could have enjoyed a few more hours on the beach and shopping at the local surf shops there.
Overall, great trip and glad we did it!

We are a couple well over 60 years old. In March, we went to Maui and boldly tried activities we had never done in Hawaii before. As shown in the photo, we wore sturdy harnesses and helmets, trusting our lives to pulleys and wire ropes as we soared from about 300 meters to 800 meters. At first, we glided a couple of times over a grassy area, and then crossing the valley was thrilling.
It was over in a flash, but we had a great time. Next time, we will bring our grandchildren.

I participated with my 10-year-old and 7-year-old children. It was English-only, but there was a brochure written in Japanese, so I didn't have any particular difficulties. The waves were calm, but there was enough rocking that I felt a bit seasick even after taking motion sickness medication. However, once we were in the cage, there were so many sharks that I forgot about the seasickness and had a great time. My 7-year-old son loves sharks, so he was very excited. When he drew a picture of a shark and gave it to the captain on the way back, the captain was very happy. Later, I heard from a local that many participants were from Australia, and while there are shark tours in Australia, they are extremely expensive, so everyone seems to do them here. I bought the DVD for $75, and it became a wonderful memory. I want to go again, but I'm a bit scared of seasickness...

Me and and my girlfriend both liked the young guides who picked us up at the North Shore Marketplace parking lot. It was just us two so we felt very privilidged. The Hawaiian guide drove for about 20 min through many farms and got to know much abut them and who owned them, unfortunately much of the land were rented by Monsantos. Part of the drive was very bumpy but became much better when we got unto the military roads. The hike was not that hard mostly because the water wasn´t that high this time. It was partly slippery but our sneekers was enough to manage it. There were some very niice sceneries and crossig over the river and the mountain pool swim at the summit was very pleasent and just what we needed after a 2.5 hours hike. We got to use helmets but just for a very short time. The lunch was two wraps each and was more than enough for us.
The hawaiian native guide told us much about the the hawaiian culture and the problems hawaiians have had keeping their language alive. We also got to know about much about the different plants and trees, and the tight bond to nature hawaiina have had, he also made a hawaiian chant to the forrest when we just started the hike which was very nice to hear. We would recommend this hike to all our friends.
Thanks so much for the kind words... we're so glad you two enjoyed yourselves!

Since we had made a reservation in advance, there were no particularly complicated procedures, and we hardly needed any English, haha. The friendly female staff made the children very happy. However, considering that it takes about two hours round trip from Waikiki, the 30-minute horse ride felt a bit short... The ranch had peacocks running around and was a spacious and lovely place!

I was torn between horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, but it turned out to be the right choice.
The 90-minute ride was quite fulfilling.
There were a total of eight people: two Japanese couples and four from an Asian family.
With staff positioned at the front and back, there's no need to worry if the horses take a detour or lag behind, as they guide you along the way.
We rode in a line through the forest, and the forest bathing felt wonderful. At the end, we were moved to see the ocean. They also took plenty of photos with our cameras.
Overall, since we were with others participating in different activities, there was a bit of wasted time. We stopped at places that weren't necessary to visit.
A package that includes just horseback riding and free time in Haleiwa Town would be great.

Horseback riding on the sandy beach was only for taking photos; we just slowly walked along the flat path by the coast. The scenery and sea breeze were pleasant. The horse was gentle, so I hardly had to control it and was just sitting there. The staff were kind and beautiful, which was lovely, but honestly... the riding itself wasn't very interesting, so I struggled a lot with the tip after the ride. I think it's suitable for beginners.
砂浜での乗馬は写真撮影の時だけ、海岸脇の平らな歩道をゆっくり散歩するだけでした。景色と海風は気持ち良かったです。馬は大人しいのでほとんど操作することがなく、だだ乗っているだけでした。スタッフは親切でしたし美人さんで素敵だったんですけど、正直・・・乗馬自体は、あまり面白くなかったので乗馬終了後のチップにすごく困りました。初心者向けだと思います。

I participated with my 9-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter. All three of us have riding licenses, but there were no other horseback riding options available due to age, height, and transportation. The tour included various activities such as horseback riding, encountering sea turtles, visiting a pineapple farm, seeing the "What Tree Is That?" tree, and sightseeing in Haleiwa Town, making it an incredibly fun experience. Our dream of horseback riding together as a family came true, and we also got to enjoy delicious garlic shrimp in Haleiwa Town, which left us truly satisfied. The Japanese male guide and the American women at the ranch were very kind and took many photos for us, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
9歳の息子、11歳の娘と私の3人で参加しました。
私達は3人とも乗馬のライセンスを持っていますが、年齢、身長、送迎等で参加可能な乗馬が他にありませんでした。
色々なツアーも含まれていて、乗馬、海カメ遭遇、パイナップル農園、「この木何の木」の木、ハレイワタウン観光も含めて、凄く楽しい体験でした。
夢だった親子3人での乗馬も叶い、ハレイワタウンでの凄く美味しいガーリックシュリンプも食べられて、本当に大満足です。
ガイドの日本人男性も、牧場のアメリカ人女性達も沢山写真を撮って下さったり、凄く親切で、大満足でした。

I had some anxiety about driving a rental car, so I joined this tour. On the day of the tour, there were 11 participants. I was a bit concerned about the old shuttle van and the unusable seat belts, but the explanations from our experienced Japanese guide were knowledgeable and diverse, making the journey feel like an enriching study session. The stop at the Dole Plantation, where we saw the "This is a tree" tree, was only about 20 minutes, so I recommend a different schedule for those who want to stay longer, but we didn't feel it was particularly short.
As we headed north along the North Shore, the guide explained the coastal scenery, and we split into two groups for free time in Haleiwa and horseback riding (the horseback riding group also had about 50 minutes of free time). We were taken to Macky's for garlic shrimp and were shown the main shops, making the short time quite fulfilling.
I was very anxious as a beginner with little explanation or guidance during the beach horseback riding, but there were seven of us in a line and another instructor accompanying us, who helped calm the horses and taught us how to hold the reins, allowing me to enjoy the ride. The beautiful scenery along the beach was breathtaking! It was about a 45-minute ride, but it was an unforgettable experience.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see any turtles on the sandy beach, but our persistent guide took us to a spot where we could see swimming turtles, using what seemed to be a local information network. I am grateful for that.
We returned to Honolulu before 4 PM, so we were able to go out afterward and had a meaningful day. It may indeed be a busy schedule, but I think this tour is packed with the joys of the North Shore and is enjoyable for everyone. I sincerely thank our guide, Syozou.
レンタカーの運転に不安があり、このツアーに参加しました。
当日ツアーに参加したのは11名、送迎のバンが古くてシートベルトが使えないなどは気になりましたが、ベテランの日本人ガイドさんの解説が博識で多岐にわたり、道中まるで勉強会のように充実していました。「この木なんの木」とドールプランテーションはほんの20分くらいの立ち寄りなので、長居したい方は違うスケジュールのプランをお勧めしますが、我々は特に短いとも感じませんでした。
ノースショアも海岸沿いを説明しながら北上し、ハレイワで自由行動と乗馬の二手に分かれ、(乗馬組も50分位自由時間あり)わざわざガーリックシュリンプのMackysさんに連れて行ってもらったり、主要なお店を教えてもらったりしたので短時間でもかなり充実していました。
海辺の乗馬、説明や注意が少なくて初心者の私はとても不安でしたが、7人の隊列の前後ともう一人付添いのインストラクターがいて、道草する馬をなだめたり引き綱をおしえてもらったりで楽しく乗馬できました。ゆっくりと歩く海辺の景色の美しいこと!45分位の乗馬でしたが忘れられない経験でした。
残念ながら砂浜でカメを見ることはできず、諦めないガイドさんが地元の情報網を駆使していそうな浜辺に立ち寄ってくれて泳いでいるカメを見ることができました。感謝。
ホノルルには午後4時前に戻ってきたのでその後も出かけることができ、一日を有意義に過ごすことができました。確かに忙しいスケジュールかも知れませんが、ノースショアの楽しみが凝縮された、だれでも十分に楽しめる充実のツアーだと思います。ガイドのsyozouさん?に心から感謝します。

This was our family's first time visiting oahu and the ocean front horse back ride was by far our most favorite and memorable experience. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable and the horses are very well cared for (my horse Ike is a retired polo pony). We even had the pleasure of a hawaiian pig named 'wilma' that thinks she's a horse escort our ride. We went on the sunset tour and the landscape is unlike anywhere I have ever seen, so peaceful and breathtaking. Would highly recommend this activity to other families, friends and couples!
