This was my third time to Oahu. I was looking for a North Shore tour that offered a visit to Haleiwa and Waimea Falls, this was the only tour that offered both!! The tour was fantastic and I would definitely partake again. Cheers : )

Enjoying the North Shore! ノースショア満喫♪

Reviewed by: karya

I participated in a seaside horseback riding plan with my mother on January 20th.

On this day, there were four participants in total: the two of us at the seaside and two in the valley.

Unfortunately, we couldn't stop by Moanalua Gardens as it was under construction, but we made a special stop at the Healing Stones in Wahiawa before heading to Dole Plantation. We had a good amount of time there, allowing us to leisurely enjoy the famous Dole Whip pineapple soft serve.

We also tried our hand at turtle watching on the North Shore beach, but the waves were high that day, and no turtles came ashore.

At 11 AM, we had lunch in Haleiwa. Our guide took us to the restaurant we wanted, and we had garlic shrimp at MACKY'S. The lemon pepper flavor was refreshing and highly recommended.

At noon, we dropped off the two participants from the valley horseback riding plan at Happy Trails, and we headed to Turtle Bay Resort, the seaside horseback riding point. Luckily, we spotted a whale from the car window during our drive!

Our horseback riding experience started at 12:30 PM, and during this time, it was just the two of us. We were lucky! I have some riding experience, but it was my mother's first time, so we decided to join this beginner-friendly plan. However, I found it a bit lacking for experienced riders since we weren't allowed to canter. Still, the scenery was beautiful with both bush and seaside views, so we could enjoy the atmosphere.

The ride was conducted at a walk to a brisk walk, which I think would be perfectly fine for beginners or those with little experience, and I was very satisfied with the content. There were some ups and downs along the way. The horses seemed well-trained, making them very easy to ride.

For the seaside horseback riding, the riding instructions were briefly explained by our guide/driver in the car, and there were none at the site. We were immediately assigned our horses and got on. Because of this, we had a solid 45 minutes of riding!

I think it was a great tour in terms of being able to enjoy horseback riding casually.

As a side note, one of the participants in the valley horseback riding fell off while dismounting and ended up muddy when we went to pick them up. For those going in the future, please enjoy yourselves without letting your guard down until the end!

母と２人で海辺乗馬プランに参加(1/20)しました。

この日の参加者は私たち海辺２人＋渓谷２人の計４人。

残念ながらモアナルアガーデンは工事中ということで立ち寄ることができず、今回は特別にワヒアワのヒーリングストーンに寄って、ドールプランテーションへ。しっかり滞在時間を取ってくださったので、名物のパイナップルソフトクリームのドールホイップをゆっくり食べることができました。
ノースショアのビーチでウミガメウォッチングにもチャレンジしましたが、この日は波が高くて浜辺に上がってくる奇亀はいませんでした。。
１１時にハレイワでランチ。希望のお店に連れて行ってくださったので、ＭＡＣＫＹ’Ｓでガーリックシュリンプを食べました。レモンペッパー味がさっぱりでおすすめです。
１２時に渓谷乗馬プランの２人をハッピートレイルズで降ろして、私たちは海岸乗馬ポイントであるタートルベイリゾートへ。移動中、運よく車窓からクジラが観測できました！

１２時３０分から乗馬体験。この時間帯は私たち２人の貸し切りでした。ラッキーです☆
私は乗馬経験者ですが、母は初体験でしたので、今回はこの初心者向けのプランに参加することにしたわけですが、やはりどーしても経験者には物足りないです。。駈歩はやらせてもらえませんからね。が、ブッシュあり海辺ありで、景色はとても良いので雰囲気だけは楽しめます。
常歩~速歩程度で行われるので、初めての人や経験の少ない人には問題なく、大満足の内容になってると思いました。わりとアップダウンはあります。馬はよく調教されているようでしたので、とても乗りやすかったです。
なお、海辺乗馬の場合は、乗馬の注意事項は車内でガイド兼運転手さんから簡単に説明があっただけで、現地ではまったくなし。いきなり馬がセレクトされ、騎乗する流れでした。その分、４５分しっかり乗れます！！

気軽に乗馬が楽しめる点においては、とても良いツアーだったと思います。

余談ですが、渓谷乗馬の１人が下馬する時に落ちてしまったそうで、迎えに行った時に泥んこになってました。これから行かれる方は最後まで気を抜かずに楽しんで来てください。

Horseback riding is the best. 乗馬は最高

Reviewed by: NEKO

This time, I participated in this tour for horseback riding. It includes sightseeing at "This Tree, What Tree" and the North Shore, so it feels like a good deal. On the day of the tour, there were three groups with eight people, all of whom went horseback riding in the valley. It was a homey tour, and we were able to bond with the other participants.

Now, let me comment on the main horseback riding experience. It was our first time riding. I was a bit anxious because it was mentioned in the previous posts that the riding lecture would be in English. Happy Train is a small ranch run by a couple, and they explained everything with great enthusiasm using gestures, so it was easy to understand. In fact, the horses were well-trained, and we didn't need to give any commands at all.

We rode along a hilly mountain path, with the ranch's wife leading the way in a single file. The husband followed at the back. The ranch's dog (a Border Collie) also came along. It was mostly in the forest, and surprisingly, it wasn't too hot. There were a couple of spots where the view opened up, and we could see the sea of the North Shore. Since the horses are polo-style, we held the reins with one hand, allowing us to take photos (with a compact camera) with the other hand. The ranch staff also took photos for us along the way, so definitely bring a camera. I brought a waist pouch, but you can also borrow one.

The horses were really well-trained and walked in a straight line. They stopped automatically when the horse in front stopped, which made it quite easy. My wife's horse was unique, as it tended to walk on the edges and even pushed into the bushes at times... but that was quite funny.

I think even a six-year-old would be fine with this. However, since they are animals, one must not let their guard down, and we had to sign a waiver.

An hour and a half passed in no time. The ranch's wife shared various stories about the trees and nature while we were riding, and I really wished I could speak more English.

So, while experienced riders might find it a bit lacking, I believe it is a fantastic activity for beginners or those like us trying it for the first time. Both my wife and I consider this the number one memory of our trip to Hawaii.

今回、乗馬目的でこのツアーに参加しました。「この木なんの木」やノースショアの観光もついているのでお得感はあります。当日の参加者は３グループ８人で、全員渓谷での乗馬でした。アットホームなツアーで参加者で打ち解けることができました。
メインの乗馬についてコメントします。わたしたちにとって初めての乗馬です。あらかじめこちらの書き込みで乗馬のレクチャーは英語でと書かれていたので不安もありました。ハッピートレインは夫婦でやっておられる小さい牧場なのですが、夫婦が一生懸命に手振り身振りを交えながらレクチャーしてくださるのでよくわかりました。というより、馬がよく調教されていて、こちらが指示する必要がまったくなかったです。
アップダウンが結構ある山道を牧場の奥さんを先頭に一列になって進んでいきます。旦那さんが最後尾で付いてくれます。牧場の犬（ボーダーコリー）もついて来ていました。ほとんど森林の中で思ったより暑くなかったです。２か所ほど視界が開けていてノースショアの海が見えました。ポロスタイルの馬ですので片手で手綱を持ちますのでもう片方の手で写真（コンパクトカメラで）を撮ることができます。また牧場の方が途中で写真を撮ってくれますので是非カメラを持参してください。わたしはウエストポーチを持って行きましたが、貸してももらえます。
本当によく調教されていて一列できっちり歩いてくれます。前が止まると勝手に止まってくれますし、ちょっと物足りないくらい楽でした。妻の馬だけユニークな馬で、はしっこばかり歩いたり、ブッシュに突っ込んでいくとかありましたが…。それはそれで大笑いでした。
これなら、６歳の子でも大丈夫だと思います。しかし、動物のことですので油断は禁物ですし誓約書も書かされます。
１時間半あっというまに時間が経ちました。牧場の奥さんが乗馬中も色々と木や自然の話をしてくださるので、もっと英語が話せたらよかったとつくづく思いました。
ということで乗馬の経験者の方には少し物足りないと思いますが、わたしたちのような初挑戦や、初心者の方には大満足のアクティビティだと思います。妻も私も今回のハワイ旅行の思い出ナンバー１です。

We had a great time on this tour. The group was small, so the guide could be flexible and give individual attention to each participant. There was a range of activities so you could choose how active you wanted to be. We did the Wailea Falls hike and stand-up paddling. We had lunch at the cafe at Wailea Falls, very good Hawaiian-style food. We were glad we paid the extra for an instructor on the paddling as it was challenging. I would only recommend doing it on your own if you are experienced. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in learning more about the North Shore.

Shark Adventure Tour シャークアドベンチャーツアー

Reviewed by: AKKO&KAZU

I finally went on the Shark Adventure. There were three groups, including us, but the others seemed cramped as they entered in groups of four at the same time. We had more than enough time, I think it was about 15 to 20 minutes, and they let us stay until we said we were done. Our hands and feet were sticking out of the cage, which added to the tension. The staff handled everything in a calm manner, so those who want to enjoy themselves won't have any issues. I was concerned about seasickness, but I drank two strong ones from Japan, so it wasn't too bad. We drove from Waikiki, and the route was comfortable without getting lost, but on the way back, I was definitely sleepy and tired, so please be careful.

念願のシャークアドベンチャーにいきました。外国の方と我々も含めて３組でしたが、他の方は４人同時に入ったりで狭そうでした。時間は十分すぎるほどあり１５分から２０分くらいだったと思いますが、こちらからもう結構だと言うまでさせてくれます。檻から手足ははみ出るし緊迫感はあります。スタッフは淡々とこなしている感じですので自分たちで楽しむ方は問題ありません。懸念された船酔いも日本から強力なのを２本飲みましたので差ほどではありませんでした。レンタカーでワイキキから行きましたが道も迷うことなく快適でしたが帰りはさすがに眠く疲れますので気をつけてください。

I want to participate in the next trip to Hawaii too!! 次のハワイ旅行でも参加したい！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a couple. On the day we joined, there were a total of 11 people in 5 groups. The driver entertained us with various stories until we reached the North Shore. We stopped by the Dole Plantation, which had many original products, and we had a great time even without shopping.

Although lunch was served quite early, around 10:30, all participants were surprised and said, "Already??" However, for us, who hadn't had breakfast, it was just the right time. Since it was Sunday, there was a food stall selling Huli Huli chicken, so we had lunch there. Nearby, there was also a famous shaved ice shop, allowing us to enjoy ourselves thoroughly before heading to horseback riding.

When we arrived at the ranch for horseback riding, the instructions were only in English, which was a bit confusing, but the ranch staff did their best to explain in English, so we were able to enjoy horseback riding throughout. Unlike Japanese ranches, we could ride for 90 minutes, which was very satisfying. I definitely want to participate again on my trip to Hawaii in two years, but since lunch costs are not included, I hope the tour price will be around $80 to $100.

夫婦二人で参加しました。
私たちが参加した日は、５グループ合計１１人でした。
ドライバーさんはノースショアーへ着くまで、色々な話で楽しませてくれました。
途中ドールプランテーションへ寄りましたが、オリジナル商品が沢山あり、買い物しなくても楽しめました。
１０時半過ぎという早い時間に昼食となりましたが、参加者全員が「もう？？」と驚いていましたが、朝食を取っていなかった私たちにはちょうど良い時間でした。
日曜日ということもあり、フリフリチキンの屋台が出ていたので、私たちはそちらでランチにしました。
近くには有名なかき氷屋さんもあり乗馬へ行くまでも存分に楽しむことができました。
乗馬する牧場(～!)へ着くと、英語のみの説明になり、戸惑いましたが、牧場のお母さんが英語ながら一生懸命説明してくれたので、終始楽しく乗馬できました。
日本の牧場と違い９０分も乗馬できるので、非常に満足できます。
再来年のハワイ旅行でも是非参加したいと思いますが、昼食代などが含まれていないので、ツアー代金が８０~１００ドルほどになると良いなと思いました。

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

Great experience

Reviewed by: Marina

The crew was great and we had a good amount of time to view the sharks (usually I think these activities end too quickly, but I was very happy here). Unfortunately, when I went the waves were really strong and I got bruised and sea sick being tossed around, but I think if the weather was more calm, it would've been really amazing. I would definitely do it again. I do, however, wish that the cage was larger or that they would let no more than 2 people in at a time because there's not that much space to maneuver, and if there are waves you're always running into the other people. The sharks are very graceful and beautiful and do come rather close so that you can get some great visuals, but for those that are afraid, they never come close enough for one to feel unsafe. In fact, they don't seem particularly interested in the people as much as they are in just swimming around. I didn't purchase a video, but I think I would next time, just because it was very difficult to get good pictures w

A horse that walks only on the right side. 右端ばかり歩く馬

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

If you want to go horseback riding but don't want to do it at Kualoa and would like to do some sightseeing as well, I think this is a great option.

There were six participants, two people in three groups.

After being picked up before 9 AM, we were taken by our guide Wayne to Moanalua (the tree, what kind of tree is this?) → Dole → Haleiwa (for lunch) → North Shore (to see turtles) → horseback riding → and then back home.

It seemed that all the participants this time were repeat visitors who had already experienced the classic Oahu sightseeing course before horseback riding, so I thought it would be nice if we could arrange stops based on the participants' preferences.

The horseback riding was fantastic. Unlike Kualoa, where you ride in large groups for about 30 minutes, this time there were only eight of us: four Japanese, one from the West, and three from Southeast Asia, allowing us to take our time and climb the mountain over 90 minutes. It didn't feel at all like the experience of being "just put on a horse and walked" as it does at large facilities.

For some reason, the horse I rode had a habit of walking along the right edge of the mountain path, constantly bumping into trees and leaves.

It seems that the operation is run by a man and a woman who appear to be the owners, so there might be some horses that haven't been trained well. That was interesting in its own way. My wife was laughing the whole time watching me bump into the trees!

乗馬がしたい、でもクアロアじゃヤダ、一部観光もしたいという方にオススメだと思います。

参加者は２人×３組＝６人でした。

朝９時前のピックアップ後、ガイドのウェインさんに連れられてモアナルア（この木何の木）→ドール→ハレイワ（昼食）→ノース（亀）→乗馬→帰路という行程をこなします。

今回の参加メンバーは皆リピーターで乗馬前のオアフ観光鉄板コースは既に体験済みのようだったので、参加者の度合いに応じて寄るところをアレンジ出来ればいいなと思いました。

乗馬は最高でした。クアロアのように大人数で３０分程度というわけではなくて、今回は日本人４人、欧米系１人、東南アジア系３人＝８人というこじんまりとした人数でゆっくり９０分掛けて山を登ります。大規模施設での乗馬のように「乗せられて、ただ歩いた」って感じはまったくありません。

私の乗った馬はなぜか山道の右端ばかりを歩く（癖）ので木にや葉っぱに当たりっぱなしでした。

オーナーと思わしき男性と女性の２名で切り盛りしているようですので、中には調教がうまくいっていない馬もいるのでしょう。
それはそれで、おもしろかったです。ちょいちょい木に当たる自分を見て妻は終始大爆笑でした！

Enjoying the North Shore~~~ ノースショア満喫～～～

Reviewed by: hahagattuso

From 2005 to 2009

For us, who visit Hawaii every year, horseback riding is an essential activity.

This time, I had previously participated in this course with another optional tour, but I decided to go again because I wanted to visit the North Shore.

The hotel pickup was on time.

There were three groups, including my husband and me, totaling six people.

The male guide was gentle and shared enjoyable stories about the scenery we saw while driving, including the history of the Ala Wai Canal and Waikiki, as well as filming locations for LOST.

First, we visited:
Moanalua Gardens - "This Tree, What Tree?"
Dole Plantation Gardens
Kahuku Shrimp in Haleiwa
Sea Turtle Point
And the main event, the valley horseback riding.

All the staff at the ranch only speak English.

However, we felt reassured because the guide had already given us a briefing on horseback riding.

The staff chose horses that suited us, and I was matched with a horse that I thought would be perfect for me.

We leisurely rode up and down the valley.

At times, we could hear the sound of the waves and feel the sea breeze, enjoying our time.

Both beginners and experienced riders can feel safe with the gentle horses.

The ranch dogs also accompanied us, making it a truly healing experience for both body and mind.

２００５~２００９年

毎年渡ハしている私達には乗馬は外せないアクティビティです。

Plenty of horseback riding たっぷり乗馬

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Since my horseback riding experience at a ranch in Hokkaido, I had been thinking, "I want to ride a horse again!!" When I found this activity, I immediately signed up. There were other horseback riding tours available, but I chose this one because it offered a Japanese-speaking guide.

In the morning, I was picked up from my hotel and we headed to Dole Plantation and the North Shore, stopping at each participant's hotel. Along the way, our guide Wayne shared various stories in fluent Japanese, making the car ride enjoyable and never boring.

At Dole Plantation, our time was short, so I couldn't try the popular pineapple soft serve, but I was happy to visit since I had wanted to go there. Taking photos with the train in the background before departure also became a nice memory. By the way, the restrooms at Dole Plantation are spacious and clean, so I recommend using them.

Shortly after leaving Dole Plantation, the beautiful sea of the North Shore came into view, and I felt a rush of excitement. Our guide kindly parked the car in front of the famous North Shore sign, allowing us to take commemorative photos.

We had an early lunch in the town of North Shore. Since we participated on a Sunday, we had lunch at a stand selling "Huli Huli Chicken." There were also famous shrimp places in North Shore, but I had heard that "Huli Huli Chicken" could only be tasted at the weekend market, so I decided without hesitation. I was a bit nervous thinking, "Is it spicy?" but it turned out to be pleasantly spicy and delicious. The vendor also gave us something like pickled starfruit, which was tasty too.

After lunch, it was finally time for horseback riding. The canyon riding team took us to the mountain ranch first. This was where I had to say goodbye to Wayne, who was fluent in Japanese (crying).

At the mountain ranch, there was no Japanese explanation at all, and I struggled to understand everything in English. At first, I felt like crying, but the staff lady explained things with gestures, which gradually eased my anxiety about not understanding English.

The horse I rode was very free-spirited, and when it got thirsty, it headed straight for the water bucket on its own, giving off a "tough" vibe.

北海道の牧場で乗馬体験をして以来、「もう一度馬に乗りたい！！」と思っていたところ、ちょうどこのアクティビティーを見つけ、申し込みました。
他にも乗馬ツアーがありましたが、こちらを選んだ理由は日本語ガイドとあったからです。

朝、滞在先のホテルでピックアップしてもらい、各参加者のホテルを回りドールプランテーション、ノースショアへ向かいました。
途中、ガイドのウェインさんが流暢な日本語で色々なお話をして下さり、退屈することなく車中を過ごすことができました。

ドールプランテーションでは滞在時間が短いので、人気のパイナップルのソフトクリームを食することができませんでしたが、一度訪れてみたいと思っていましたので、嬉しかったです。
発車前の汽車をバックに写真撮影できたことも良い思い出になりました。
余談ですが、ドールプランテーションのお手洗いは広くてきれいなので、こちらでお手洗いを済ませることをお勧めします。

ドールプランテーションを出発してしばらすると眼前にノースショアの美しい海が目に入り、何だか興奮してしまいました。
有名なノースショアの看板の前で、わざわざ駐車して下さるので、こちらでも記念撮影できます。

ノースショアの街で早めの昼食タイムがあります。
私たちは日曜日の参加でしたので、「フリフリチキン」の屋台（？）で昼食を取りました。
ノースショアで有名なシュリンプのお店もありましたが、「フリフリチキン」は土日のマーケットでしか味わえないと聞いていたので、迷わず決めました。
「辛いのかなぁ」とドキドキしていたら、程よいスパイシーさで美味しかったです。
お店の人がスターフルーツのお漬物（？）みたいなのを配って下さり、そちらも美味しかったです。

昼食が終わると、いよいよ乗馬になります。
渓谷乗馬チームが先に山の牧場へ送っていただきました。
ここで日本語が堪能なウェインさんとはお別れです（泣）。

山の牧場では、日本語の説明は全くなく、ＡＬＬ英語で聞き取るのに必死で、最初は泣きそうになりましたが、スタッフのおばさんが身振り手振りで一生懸命説明してくれたので、英語が分からない不安さは次第に消えて行きました。

This was my second time in Hawaii. I had visited the North Shore before and loved the scenery and the town, so I wanted to go back. This tour included sightseeing at places I had been to before, like Moanalua Gardens and Dole, but I thought it would be fun to go horseback riding on the North Shore, so my husband and I decided to join.

At Turtle Beach, we met turtles for the first time, which we hadn't encountered during our last visit! In Haleiwa, we strolled for about an hour, including lunch, and we filled up on giant hamburgers at Kua Aina!

In the horseback riding group, there was a foreign family along with us, making a total of six people. My husband was trying horseback riding for the first time, and I hadn't ridden in a few years, so I felt a bit nervous seeing the size of the horses. However, they carefully explained the instructions, and they matched the horses to the participants' sizes—smaller horses for children and women, and larger ones for men.

We rode in a line through the mountains, with the lead instructor checking on everyone as we progressed slowly. The horses were well-trained and followed the horse in front without needing much direction, so I had no worries at all. The course had some ups and downs, which made it even more enjoyable. From the top of the mountain, we had a stunning view of the North Shore sea! The instructor took photos at the scenic points. The riding time felt long enough to really enjoy it. I think it's something that both adults and children can enjoy!

今回が2度目のハワイ。
前回もノースショアは訪れていましたが、その時の景色や街並みが気に入って、また行きたいと思っていました。このツアーには、モアナルアガーデンやDoleなど前回も行った場所の観光が含まれていましたが、ノースショアで乗馬なんて面白いかも♪と思い夫婦で参加しました。
立ち寄った亀ビーチでは前回は出会えなかった亀に初対面！
HALEIWAではランチ込みで1時間ほど散策。KUAAINAで巨大ハンバーガーを食べてお腹いっぱいになりました！

渓谷の乗馬参加者は私達の他に外国人ファミリー。子供を含む計6人でした。
主人は乗馬初挑戦、私も数年ぶりだったので馬の大きさを見て少し緊張しましたが、注意事項など丁寧に教えてもらえたし、子供や女性にはわりと小柄な馬、男性には大きい馬と体格に合わせて馬を選んでくれました。
6人で列を成して山の中を歩く、といった感じで先頭のインストラクターの方が参加者の様子を確認しつつゆっくり進んでいくのですが、馬はしっかり調教されていて特に指示をしなくてもちゃんと前の馬についていってくれるので、何の心配もありませんでした。
コースは起伏があってそれがまた楽しかったです。
山の上からはノースショアの海が一望できて、景色は最高！
撮影ポイントではインストラクターの方が写真を撮ってくれました。
乗馬時間は長く感じるくらい十分楽しめました。
大人から子供まで楽しめると思います！

ノースショア（ハレイワ）観光　ハレイワタウンで3時間の自由散策＋ドールプランテーション！海辺の絶景を楽しめる乗馬付き(70分)プランあり＜1日／送迎付き＞

It was fun!☆ 楽しかったです☆

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated at the beginning of October. It was a relaxing trip in Waikiki, but I wanted to do some sightseeing in other places and also had a desire to go horseback riding, so I decided on this tour. I was torn between this and Kualoa Ranch, but I chose this one because the horseback riding time was longer and it included sightseeing in the North Shore.

The tour started with a meeting at the hotel at 9 AM. There were 10 people in total, including us, participating in the tour (all Japanese).

First, we made a brief stop at Moanalua Gardens for some photos. Next, at the Dole Plantation, we had about 30 minutes of free time to enjoy pineapple soft serve ice cream and stroll through the gardens. After that, we headed to Haleiwa. The drive was pleasant, with coffee fields stretching out along the way. It took about an hour and a half, but it didn’t feel long at all.

We arrived in Haleiwa around 10:30 AM. After that, we had about an hour of free time, including lunch. I heard there’s a famous garlic shrimp restaurant in Haleiwa, and it seemed like the other tour participants went there for lunch. Since lunch was quite early, I think those who decide to eat there should have a light breakfast that morning. We were dropped off at the Haleiwa Shopping Center and wandered around. We tried something called “Huli Huli Chicken” from a nearby food stall. This stall, which only opens on Saturdays, is quite famous and had many Japanese tourists. The whole roasted chicken was hot and well-seasoned, and while it may not look like much, I highly recommend it.

The horseback riding in the valley was a fun course with some ups and downs, but the scenery mostly felt like being in the forest. For experienced riders, it might be a bit lacking. However, they provide thorough instructions on how to ride and safety tips, so beginners will have no problem at all. After horseback riding, we stopped by Turtle Beach, but since we could see from the road that there were no turtles, we didn’t go down to the beach and headed back instead.

Although it was a bit rushed with the North Shore sightseeing and horseback riding in half a day, I was able to enjoy it as expected.

10月の初めに参加しました。ワイキキでのんびり過ごす旅行でしたが、他の場所も観光してみたかったのと、乗馬がしたいとう希望もありましたので、このツアーに決めました。クアロア牧場とで迷いましたが、乗馬の時間が長かったこととノースショアの観光も付いているということでこちらに決めました。
９時にホテルに待ち合わせでツアーはスタート。私達の他に４組１０人がツアーに参加していました。（全員日本人）
まずはモアナルアガーデンに少し立寄り写真撮影。続くドール・プランテーションでは３０分程の自由行動があり、パイナップルソフトクリームを食べたり、お庭を散策したり。その後、ハレイワへ向かいます。道中はコーヒー畑が広がっていたりして気持ちの良いドライブでした。時間にして１時間半くらいですが移動が長いという感じはしませんでした。
10時半くらいにハレイワに到着。その後昼食を含め１時間程の自由時間となります。ハレイワには有名なガーリックシュリンプのお店があるらしく他のツアー参加者の皆さんはそちらで昼食を取ったようです。昼食時間が相当早いので“ここで食べる！”と決めている方は当日の朝食は軽めが良いと思います。私たちはハレイワショッピングセンターで下ろしてもらいブラブラと散策。近くにあった屋台で“フリフリチキン”なるものを食べました。毎週土曜日だけ出店されるこの屋台は結構有名らしく日本人の観光客も多くいました。丸ごと焼いたチキンは熱々でしっかり味がついていて、見た目はさほどでもありません（笑）がおすすめです。
渓谷の乗馬は、起伏があり楽しいコースでしたが、景色はほとんど森林の中と言った感じでした。乗馬経験者には、少し物足りないコースかもしれません。ただ、馬の乗り方や注意点は丁寧に教えてもらえるので初心者でも全く問題ありません。乗馬の後は、ウミガメビーチに寄りましたが、道路からビーチが見下ろせるためウミガメがいないと分かるとビーチに降りることもなくそのまま帰路につきました。
半日でノースショア観光+乗馬だったのですこし駆け足でしたが、期待通り楽しむことができました。

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

Loved It

Reviewed by: Mapes

We booked this tour on line before arriving in Waikiki. Wondered if we had made a mistake, but the tour was great. We were picked up on schedule exactly as promised. Our tour guide, Sam, was informative and knowledgeable about the island and the culture.

The best part of this tour is the choices! The next best thing is how much time you have on your own to enjoy the activity choices. Couldn't have been better. Absolutely loved it! Would go again.

Hello All!
My husband and I took this tour on Tuesday, Oct 6th, 2009. It was the best tour ever! North Shore is beautiful and absolutely amazing. We had one activity and rode a beach cruiser to all the beaches. We hung out at Waimea Beach and the waves were pretty insane. There was a surfing competition on the other beach. We saw sea turtles and that was a SIGHT! Our tour guide Sam is the definitely the coolest guide ever. We 100% recommend this activity to everyone. No joke. If you don't believe, you guys can contact us at mdot42@hotmail.com. =D

It's really interesting!! やっぱり面白い！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I can't forget the fun of horseback riding twice on the mainland United States, so my parents and I participated together. It was their first time, but they enjoyed it.

At the beginning, they explain how to ride the horse and use the reins with simple Japanese, so I think it's not a problem even if you don't understand English. The horses are all calm and gentle. They are really smart horses, allowing us to enjoy horseback riding with peace of mind. They walk slowly, and when the horse in front stops, they stop properly and don't overtake. The owner and his daughter? follow us at the front and back, which was reassuring. There was only one moment when we cantered, which was a bit thrilling and fun!!

It was a hot day with strong Hawaiian sunshine, but the horseback riding in the valley was quiet and shaded by trees, making it pleasant. We could also see the ocean along the way, which was beautiful.

They take photos for you, and if you have time, you can also take your own photos and videos. You can either hang your belongings on the horse or leave them with them. They also lend you a waist pouch for valuables and cameras.

Although it was supposed to be a 90-minute ride, we were actually on the horse for about an hour, which was a bit disappointing. This time, with transportation included, we were able to stop by Dole Pineapple, garlic shrimp, a sea turtle beach, Haleiwa Town, and Moanalua Gardens, so I was satisfied. However, I would have liked a bit more time in Haleiwa Town.

The driver provided information about the hospital where President Obama was born and military bases along the way to North Shore, and we enjoyed the scenery from the car window. Without the transportation, it wouldn't be easy to get there, so I think having transportation is great.

Also, I think it would be perfect if the price were a bit lower!!

アメリカ本土での２回の乗馬の楽しさが忘れられなくて、両親と私の３人で参加しました。両親は初めてでしたが楽しんでくれていました。
初めに馬の乗り方や綱の使い方を簡単な日本語をまじえて説明してくれますので英語がわからなくても問題ないと思います。
馬はみんな落ち着いていて、おとなしいです。本当に頭のいい馬達で安心して乗馬を楽しむことができました。ゆっくり歩いてくれますし、前の馬が止まればきちんと止まって、抜かしたりしません。オーナーと娘さん？が先頭と後ろについてきてくれますので安心でした。途中一度だけ駆け足になりましたがちょっとしたスリリングがあり楽しかったです！！
ハワイの日差しはきつく暑い日でしたが、渓谷の乗馬は静かで木の影があるので気持ちよかったです。途中で海も見えてきれいでした。
写真も撮ってくれますし、余裕があれば自分でも写真やビデオをとることができます。
荷物は馬に掛けて持っていくか、預けることができます。
貴重品やカメラを入れるウエストポーチも貸してくれます。
９０分の乗馬とのことでしたが、実際馬に乗っていたのは１時間程でしたので少し残念でした。
今回は送迎付きで、ドールパイナップル、ガーリックシュリンプ、海亀のビーチ、ハレイワタウン、モアナルアガーデンにも立ち寄れたので満足でした。ただ、ハレイワタウンの時間が短かったのでもう少し長いとうれしかったです。
送迎の運転手さんはノースシェアまでの道でオバマ大統領の産まれた病院や米軍の基地等教えてくれ、車窓からの景色も楽しめました。
送迎がなかったら簡単に行けるところではないので送迎があるといいと思います。
あとは料金がもっと安いと最高だと思います！！

First timers in Hawaii. We booked the Ambassador package, which came with a tour guide. She was quick to get us from one village show to another, getting us good seats.
We learned some pretty interesting things from the different villages about different cultures.
The food was ok. Nothing to turn backflips over. The "Ha: Breathe of Life" night show was nice. My wife loved it, which was very important.
KAP TAFITI, THE SOMOAN GUY IS VERRRRRY FUNNY!
Overall great experience!
Save your tickets. You have 3 days after to return and revisit villages at no extra charge. We just had to see the Somoan guy.

We had a wonderful time at the center and the lua was great. We had a tour guide with us that allowed us to probably see more things but at the same time we couldn't really wander off on our own to see things that interested us. Overall it was a great day and would highly recommend this activity to anyone.

sea turtle was magical

Reviewed by: monica

The ride from Waikiki was long, but the driver entertained us with great facts. The hike to the waterfall was nice. Unfortunately there seemed to not be enough time to do two activities in the morning. We hiked back down to the beach and only had enough time to jump in the water before pick up. I missed jumping off the rocks:( The kayak was relaxing and provided us with a great tan!

Had a great time!!

Our driver/guide was awesome. I won't forget him! I can't recall his name because it was extremely long, but he did an EXCELLENT job guiding us through the island during our drive to PCC. This is our first time to Oahu and he did such a great job in getting us familiar with the area. He was extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome, like we were his own Ohana. He made sure everyone knew which luau we were supposed to go to, where the main theater was, and even where to meet up afterwards for the drop off back to the hotel.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is an AMAZING place! Theres a 15 minute boat ride that takes u around the center to visit the different villages.

The luau was entertaining with great food!

The show was INCREDIBLE!! I really enjoyed watching all the dances. Especially the fire ring guys!!

We went for the late entry and we thought it was still well worth it! Definitely a must go.. and a must go again!!!
