North Shore Guided Twilight Glow & Sunset Stand Up Paddle - Rainbow Watersports

FAVORITE ACTIVITY ON OAHU

Reviewed by: TravelGoddess

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

This activity is my favorite activity on Oahu. You start the paddle as the sun is setting, and end when it's dark. You are guided by LED lights on the bottom of the board, that illuminate the ocean below you. Making it visible to see so much sea life. On this paddle I have seen MANY turtles, manta rays, fish, jellyfish, and even small reef sharks (not to worry they are small and harmless).

This is truly a one of a kind experience that is so much fun! The guides are extremely knowledgeable of the area, and not to mention very personable. You can tell they love their job! They make sure everyone is comfortable and safe, which makes this tour so enjoyable.

No paddle board experience? No need, the guides will instruct you along the way, and make sure you don't feel pressured to do anything you don't want to do. I would recommend this paddle to any one who likes an adventure, or anyone who is looking to step outside of their comfort zone.

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＞

It was amazing! Active travelers should definitely go! 最高でした！アクティブ派は絶対行くべき！

Reviewed by: tomo

One of the reasons I wanted to go to Hawaii was to visit this place, but I could only make a reservation for January 1st, so I went by rental car. I was a bit anxious about driving, but the scenery along the way, with the North Shore coastline and the ocean, was incredibly beautiful. It took about an hour from Waikiki, but the zip line experience was amazing. We started with an easy zip line and gradually moved on to longer ones, reaching up to 800 meters, which was not scary at all and very enjoyable. The longest zip line offered a fantastic view of the North Shore ocean from a high point. I was able to get some great photos while zip lining. I participated with older children, and we all had a great time without any issues. The instructions were all in English, so there were a few things I didn't fully understand, but since the process was the same each time, it wasn't a problem. On the way back, we also stopped by Giovanni's, famous for its garlic shrimp, which became one of my best memories.

ハワイに行く目的の一つとしてここに行きたかったのですが、予約が１月１日しかとれず、レンタカーで行きました。レンタカーで行くのは不安でしたが、道中でノースショアの海岸や海に向けて広がる景色がすごく綺麗でよかったです。ワイキキからは１時間程度かかりましたが、ジップラインが最高でした。最初は簡単なジップラインから徐々に長いものに行き800メートルのところに行くので全然怖くなく楽しめました。最長のジップラインは高台からノースショアの海が見える最高の景色でした。そこでジップライン中の写真を撮っていただき最高の写真もゲットできました。高学年の子供連れで参加しましたが、問題なく楽しめました。説明はすべて英語なのでちょっとわからないところもありましたが、毎回やり方は同じなので、問題ないかなと。帰りにガーリックシュリンプの有名なジョバンニにもよれて最高の思い出の一つになりました。

After checking in, walk to the right side of the ranch for a brief buggy training session.

You get to explore various courses for about an hour.

Here, you can start and finish quickly.
Once you're done, you can enjoy plenty of activities in Haleiwa before heading back.

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

Whether you're with friends or family - definitely not one to miss out on!

Reviewed by: Ms.Ems

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

We had a blast exploring Haleiwa and taking part in this exciting ATV ride. This is a perfect activity for families with children. My entire family had a fantastic time, particularly my children who thoroughly enjoyed the ride. It was something new to us and adventurous. The guides were incredibly helpful given us time to read the rules before provided us with the necessary equipment, including helmets and safety instructions on how to operate the machine. We all had our own ATVs and to be honest, I was a bit nervous at first since I don’t drive a car haha! but I was able to conquer my fear and got the hang of it.

The ultimate off-road adventure! Thanks to the guides for giving us the freedom to drive at our own pace on the three rounds of driving. It was a lot of fun and I loved watching my 11 year old driving on his own! One of the highlights is a quick break where we took a stunning photo opportunity by the gorgeous beach--thanks to the help of our awesome guide who arranged us with our ATVS for the perfect shot.

The stables also have a petting zoo where you can hang out with some furry friends or watch horseback riding lessons in action while you wait for your scheduled adventure time.

The experience left such an impression that my family couldn't stop talking about it! Highly recommended and without a doubt would do it again!

Enjoyed the Fiji one also, especially noting that the missionaries led them to Christ and then their idols were torn down! Learned about ancestral New Zealand which I didn’t know the name of, bur I do now! While we did not really have a guide as expected, there were always people to show us the next move when we appeared lost! The luau was good, our first ever.

The theater production after the Luau was impressive too! Super talent on display, especially the spectacular fire dancer and her team! WOW!

Relaxing by the seaside. 海辺をのんびり

Reviewed by: ほっくん

We participated as a couple. The woman guiding us was calm and reassuring. We enjoyed a leisurely one-hour walk along a designated route overseas. Although it was November, the weather across the North Shore was poor that day, with occasional light rain.

I haven't experienced other horseback riding, but it might be lacking for those seeking an adventurous element.

- About a 1 hour and 15-minute drive from Waikiki
- Restrooms available
- There was a child around 6 years old with other customers.

夫婦二人で参加しました。
案内してくれる女性も穏やかな方で安心でした。
海外の決まったルートをのんびり1時間くらいお散歩でした。
11月でしたが、当日はノースショア全体の天気が悪く、たまに霧雨が降るような感じでした。

他の乗馬は未体験ですが、アドベンチャー的な要素を求めている方には物足りないかもしれません。

Wonderful Ride at Sunset!

Reviewed by: Skip

The staff was very good and patient, the horses were fine, even for the beginners, the ride was great. We had a great time and I think the 1.5 hours was just about the right timeframe. One issue I found was that when the wrangler leading a group is at the front and trying to talk to the group, it was almost impossible to understand them from the back of the group (we had 5 in our group). Don't know the answer other than having a wrangler both in front and at the rear of the group, but I know I missed out on much of the discussion.

乗馬体験(1.5時間)　ノースショアの海辺を散策！ロマンチックなサンセットプランや貸切プランから選べる　8歳から参加OK！

A luxurious time!! 贅沢な時間！！

Reviewed by: ケロリン

Considering the transportation, costs, and time spent in Hawaii, I honestly hesitated before making the reservation. However, my experience was truly amazing, and I was able to enjoy a luxurious time in Hawaii! The scenery and interaction with the horses were unique, and I felt genuinely healed while riding and feeling the warmth of the horses (*^^*).

We debated on transportation, but we decided to rent a car. We were able to stop by shops in Haleiwa and enjoy garlic shrimp from a food truck (it was emotional to have it again after 15 years!) and also visited the Dole Plantation, making for a very fulfilling day that included horseback riding. The instructor spoke entirely in English, but explained things clearly with gestures. The horses were very well-behaved, and we enjoyed a relaxed ride while only lightly holding the reins (^^).

The entrance by car was a bit tricky to find, but once you see the arena, slow down a bit, and you'll find the gate. After entering through the first large gate, you'll soon see the horses. We changed into shoes in the car (my husband wore sneakers, while my daughter and I wore compact flat shoes with belts to avoid bulky luggage) and prepared by signing in and borrowing helmets and storage for our belongings. The storage was a pocket-style that could be placed on the horse's back, fitting a phone, camera, and even a small water bottle. We also got to take photos by the beach, which made for wonderful memories! (The instructor called out at just the right moments.)

We wore long pants, but there was no worry about getting dirty while riding, so we could go shopping afterward. (Since there was a bit of sand blowing, it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes if you're concerned.) The daytime was fantastic, but I imagine the sunset would offer even more beautiful scenery, so I hope to experience it again!

The theme of this trip was to experience things that can only be done in Hawaii, and this horseback riding experience was perfect for that, creating the best memories for our family! Thank you so much to the wonderful instructor and the adorable horses ( ´ ▽ ` ) mahalo!

現地までの移動やお値段、ハワイでの滞在時間を考えた際、申し込みまで正直悩みました。しかし実際体験できての感想は、本当に贅沢なハワイ時間を過ごすことができて最高でした！！まさしくここでしか経験できない景色とお馬達との触れ合い、乗せてもらってお馬さんの温もりを感じながら本当に癒されました(*^^*)

移動手段で悩みましたが私達はレンタカーで向かい、ハレイワのお店やワゴンのガーリックシュリンプ(15年振りに食べれてそれも感動でした！)やドールプランテーションにも立ち寄れたので乗馬を含めとても充実した1日になりました。
先生はオール英語ではありますが、ジェスチャーなども交えながら分かりやすく説明してくれます。先生についていく感じで本当にお利口なお馬さん達でこちらは手綱を軽く持つ程度でゆったり乗馬を楽しめました(^^)
車での入り口が少し分かりづらいですが競技場がみえてきたら少しゆっくり走行していくとゲートがあり1つ目の大きなゲートの次のところを入っていくとすぐお馬達がみえる感じです。車で靴をシューズ(主人はスニーカー、私と娘は荷物がかさばらないよう少しコンパクトになるベルト付きのフラットシューズ)に履き替え、乗る前にサイン、ヘルメットと荷物入れを借りて準備します。荷物入れはお馬さんの背中に置かせてもらえるポケット式のもので携帯やカメラ、小さいものであれば水筒も入るサイズです。途中浜辺のところで写真も撮ってもらえて最高の記念になりました！！(程よいタイミングで先生が声を掛けてくれます)
服装は長ズボンになりますが乗った際に汚れてしまうようなことはなくそのまま買い物などできました。(若干砂が舞うので気になる方は着替えを持参されるといいかもです)
日中も最高でしたがサンセットの時間はさらにいい風景なのだろうと思うので、また体験できたらと思いました！

ハワイでしか体験できないことをが今回の旅行のテーマだったので、こちらでの乗馬体験はまさしくそれにぴったりで、家族の最高の思い出になりました！！
素敵な先生、そして可愛いお馬さん達、本当にありがとうございました( ´ ▽ ` )mahalo！

Reviewed by: ももたろう

Two Japanese women in their 30s (English: both at a conversational level) went on this tour! We started at 9 AM and encountered a total of six sharks! It was so much fun!! The staff were cheerful and energetic from the morning! Great smiles! They were kind! One of them spoke Japanese very well and explained everything in Japanese, which made us feel at ease.

I hope the following information is helpful:
▶ We took an Uber taxi to the designated location in the North Shore (it was about $60 from Waikiki).
* I think other participants also took a taxi.
* There is a bus that goes from Ala Moana Center, platform 52, to the North Shore, so you can also take the bus (it costs $3 and takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes).
▶ The waves are big and strong, so it's better to take motion sickness medication◎
▶ Once you arrive at the shark point, there will be guidance to get into the cage right away, so make sure to put on your snorkel gear beforehand!

30代日本人女性２人（英語：お互い日常会話レベル）でいってきました！
朝9時スタートのツアー参加で、計6匹のサメに出会えました〜〜〜！とっても楽しかったです！！
スタッフの方々は明るくて朝から元気！いい笑顔！優しい！１人の方は日本語がとってもお上手で、説明も日本語でしてくれたので安心して挑めました。

以下、参考になれば嬉しいです。
▶ノースショアの指定場所までUberタクシー（ワイキキから約60$くらいだった）で向かいました。
※他の参加者の方もタクシーだった気がします。
※アラモアナセンター発52番乗り場〜ノースショアまでバスが出ているのでバスでも行けます（3$、1時間30分）
▶波が大きくて強いので、酔い止めを飲んだほうがよいです◎
▶サメのいるポイントについたらすぐにケージに入るよう案内があるので、シュノーケル装着等はしておきましょう！

Since it's the North Shore, we were navigating through quite rough waves. There were no other Japanese people besides us, and although our English is not great, we managed somehow. Once we entered the water, there were more than ten sharks around, each about 2 meters long. My daughter was super excited! It was truly a valuable experience. On the way back, even though I took motion sickness medication, I ended up feeling nauseous. There were others besides me who also felt unwell.

ノースショアなので結構な荒波の中を進んで行きます。私たち以外、日本人はおらず、私たちも英語は全然だめですが、なんとかなります。いざ、海の中へ入ると2メートル級のサメが10匹以上ウロウロしていました。娘も大興奮！本当に貴重な体験でした。帰りは酔い止めを飲んでいても吐きました。私以外にも気分が悪くなっておられる方がいました。
