North Shore
It is definitely better to rent a car and drive to the location and not take the bus lol.
The horseback riding experience was awesome. The staff was great and the trail was beautiful. It was peaceful and the horses were amazing. I highly recommend it.
My boyfriend and I had a great time. Our shark tour guides were very nice and informative. We say dolphins on our way to the cave and they stopped the boat, so we could admire the dolphins.
The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. Made the experience fun. Saw turtles and Manna Rays!!
Mahalos for your awesome review, it was a pleasure to meet you guys, hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation
See you next time
Mahalo nui loa a hui hou!!!
The crew was amazing and the experience as well! Not much else to say but to do it and find out! Honest review and worth the money. Plenty of lines and you feel like your out there all day having fun! Thank you again and remember to CLIMB!
Chris and his helping hand was amazing. Made sure that we were comfortable and we had plenty of time in the cage! There were so many sharks around us and we got some great footage! Highly recommend! Thank you again Chris!
I had the best time on my shark tour! The guys were super helpful and informative. The weather was great and I felt very safe the entire time, even inside the cage with the Sharks. There were so many Sharks swimming around the cage, much more than I expected. I highly recommend this shark cage tour. I had the best time with them.
It was amazing! Matty was the best! I saw a rainbow, a whale and sharks! They even had great jokes and gave knowledges about the ocean and sharks!
Great zip line experience! Great instructors/guides. They are great at building your confidence so you can go upside down at the end. Terrific views!
It was really a great experience, regardless of the rain. HoHo was my horse— described as the Regina George of the group! The staff were friendly. Wish there was a way to communicate with our leader, Cassie a bit better while on the trail. It would be nice to have stopped in one more place for pictures and if the spot we do stop at could have a block so people could get off, that would be cool! It would also be cool to learn a little about the plants we see, the area we are in, more information about POLO too.
The pace was good although a little instruction on how to sit in the seat (where to tighten to lessen the inside leg pain) would be helpful too.
I did not see and was not ensured of a method for cleaning the helmets. Maybe offering some kind of bandana for customers to buy so people who are weary of lice or anything can feel more comfortable.
We really learned the meaning of learning how to ride “it”.
Thank you for being so organized, making the day fun and easy for my kids and giving them great memories! We will return.
Had an amazing time! The crew members were fantastic and very informative! Highly recommend :)
I had a great time horseback riding. The scenery was beautiful, and they took photos for me. (I received them later via airdrop.) Riding alone for about an hour since I was 8 years old is something I can't do in Japan, so it was a wonderful experience.
楽しく乗馬させて頂きました。
景色がいい所で写真も撮ってくれました。
(後でairdropで貰いました)
8歳から1人で1時間ほど乗馬なんて日本ではさせて貰えないので、良い体験でした。
It was really great, nice view of the sharks, enough time, just enough people in the cage, perfect, I will just suggest that the guides are a little more excited about the tour itself, maybe they were not excited because it was 1 p.m.
My husband and I had never been ziplining before, but we were really excited to try this out. The guides are SO awesome! They explain everything before you do it and they make you laugh along the way. They have "challenges" throughout the tour and they are such a blast! At the end of the tour they teach you how to do some tricks, which was SO cool! My husband Spiderman'ed and I hung upside down, spread eagle lol.
Thank you guys for such an incredible trip! We bought shirts and some stickers that are currently hanging on our fridge :)
WOW!!! What an INCREDIBLE experience!!!!!
My husband and I are both scared of sharks and he is very claustrophobic. We were worried how he would do in the cage. This was our FAVORITE part of Hawaii! As soon as you get to the spot, you immediately see sharks. They knew what we were doing there and they remember that the guides feed them, so they were all over the boat. Such a gnarly thing to see fins coming up right next to the boat!
There were eight of us on the boat and we were able to split into two groups so we could all have space and time inside the cage. It was SO COOL!! There were 8-12 Galapagos sharks swimming right next to us. They come so close to the cage, you could easily reach out and touch them, but do NOT do that lol.
We could not believe how much we loved this adventure. We recommend to everyone!!
I couldn't imagine it being any more amazing. The tour guides were all really professional and a safety diver made sure we didn't accidentally swim into the boat. We got very good diving glasses as well. The sharks themselves were really calm and didn't show any aggression at all and none of us got afraid once they did show up. If i had to describe it, I'd say it feels a bit like standing in front of a cow, a horse, or a dolphin. You know they are multiple times as big as you and could easily kill you, but there is no danger as they simply don't behave like that. And the same goes for the sharks.
Had a wonderful time w uncle Kevin!! He showed us a lot of places and haves the background story! Very knowledgeable and happy to share his experience and love for his Hawaiian culture.
We had a wonderful time and even saw Hammerhead sharks!
My husband and i had an amazing experience. Our group guides (Zeke, Ellie, Emma) are the best, very supportive and encouraging and fun. Going through the whole course was a challenge to conquer our different levels of fear and strength. I am especially proud of my husband who had been very hesitant to do the activity but finished it with flying colors more than me..ha ha... If given the chance to come back, we will definitely do it again. Again, thank you so much to our guides who kept us safe and secured the whole time. Fun fun fun .....
This tour was an absolute blast. Luckily, my girlfriend and I came to Hawaii the week after the state opened up following the Covid-19 restrictions, so there weren't many people on the island. Likewise, the tour only ended up being the two of us. Our tour guide (and owner of the tour company), Steve, was amazing. He led us through the waters and taught us both how to kayak. He even went out of his way and taught us how to paddleboard too! Also, he was very knowledgeable about Hawaii and the surrounding waters. Steve provided us with a lot of advice on what we should do/stay/eat during our stay. And to make it even better, we saw plenty of sea turtles and coral beneath our glass bottom kayak! On top of all this, Steve stayed with us a little while longer on the water to answer our questions and to talk more about Hawaii. All in all, the tour went above and beyond our expectations. The next time we go back to Hawaii, we will definitely book another tour with this company!
First time horseback riding and I can honestly say we had a wonderful experience. They made sure to have a safety demo in the beginning prior to jumping on to be sure everyone was safe and comfortable enough to ride. Nice peaceful scenery and the breeze off of the ocean made the horseback riding extremely relaxing. Towards the end of the tour, we also stopped to take some pics on the beach with the horses!! Our tour guide Becca was the BEST! Definitely will go back and make sure to request her as our tour guide again.
Ten of us participated, ranging from my 5-year-old grandchild to 60 years old.
In Japan, where safety is a top priority, my 5-year-old grandchild was probably not allowed to ride a horse alone, but here, they were able to ride by themselves and were very satisfied!
We enjoyed horseback riding at our own levels, just relaxing as a family on the ranch.
Of course, communication was a challenge since Japanese was not spoken, but it was a refreshing experience for the grandchildren, which was great.
5歳の孫から60歳までの10人で参加しました
安全第一の日本ではまず乗馬させてもらえないであろう
5歳の孫も1人で馬に乗り大満足!
のんびり家族だけで牧場内をそれぞれのレベルで
乗馬を楽しむ事が出来ました
ただ、当然ですが日本語は通じませんでしたが
孫たちにとっては新鮮な体験でよっかたです
I had never experienced seasickness before, but I ended up going home without doing anything due to it. While the waves in Japan might not start, in Hawaii, they usually do. Please be careful. The round-trip taxi fare and the shark adventure cost about $380. I went, got seasick, couldn't see any sharks, and came back, feeling like I just threw away $380. Since you won't get your money back, everyone, please be very careful about the weather. Also, if you can't understand English listening to some extent, you won't know what the staff on the boat are saying.
船酔いした事なかったですが、船酔いして何もしないまま帰りました。
日本では開始しないような波でもハワイは普通に開始します。気おつけてください。往復のタクシー代とシャークアドベンチャー代で380ドルぐらいかかりました。
行って、船酔いして、サメも見れず、帰って、380ドルを捨てたようなものでした。
お金も返って来ないので、みなさん、天候には充分に気をつけてください。
あと、ある程度英語のリスニングが出来ないと、船のアテンドの人が何言ってるかわかりません。
This glass bottom kayak tour was an amazing experience. Our guide, JC was friendly, knowledgeable and went out of his way to make our experience a unique one! I would highly recommend taking a tour with these folks- you will not regret it!
We are so pleased you enjoy your tour with us. We hope you tell all your friends that our visiting Hawaii in the future to come make wonderful memories with us.
Mahalo,

During my previous horseback riding experience in Australia, I was able to feel the horses' light gallops, but this time it was only a slow walk, which was a bit disappointing. However, riding while looking at the ocean was pleasant with the nice breeze.
以前オーストラリアで乗馬した際は、
馬の軽めのダッシュ等も体感できましたが今回のものではパカラパカラ程度の馬の徒歩しかなくものたりませんでした。
しかし海を見ながらの乗馬は風が気持ち良かったです。
At Kualoa, you can also do ziplining, and I was torn between options, but I decided to book this one because it has a longer distance.
There were a total of seven zip lines, and there were various activities in between, which made it a lot of fun.
None of the instructors spoke Japanese, but I still had a great time.
If you have the financial means, I think bringing a GoPro or something similar would allow you to capture plenty of memorable photos.
クアロアでもジップラインができるので、悩みましたが、こちらの方が距離が長いので、こっちを予約しました。
合計7本のジップラインでしたが、途中にいろいろなアクティビティも挟んであり、とても楽しかったです。
インストラクターは誰も日本語を話せなかったのですが、十分楽しめました。
金銭的に余裕のある方は、GO PROなど持っていかれた方が思い出の写真をいっぱい残せるかと思います。
It was the most fun activity I've experienced in Hawaii so far! (Personally) There was one staff member who spoke Japanese and was very friendly. The rest of the staff primarily spoke English, and all explanations were in English, but they communicated well with gestures, so it was not a problem at all! There were lockers and transportation available, which was great! There is a set pickup time, but there was a slight delay (typical overseas timing), but they do come to pick you up, so it's all good! If you're worried, it might be a good idea to call.
今までハワイで経験したアクティビティの中で一番楽しかったです!(個人的に)
日本語を話してくれるスタッフさんは1人いてくれてとてもフレンドリーな方でした^_^それ以外の方は基本英語だけで、説明等も全て英語ですがジェスチャー等で教えてくれたりと全く問題ないです!ロッカーや送迎もあり良かったです!お迎え時間は設定されていますが多少遅れもありました(海外タイムですね)けどちゃんと迎えに来てくれるので大丈夫です!心配だったら電話すると良いかもです^_^
When I inquired during the application process, I was told there would be no Japanese staff on-site, which made me anxious. However, there were Japanese versions of the consent forms available. The driver for the transfer was kind, and although the local staff explained things in English, I managed to get by (laughs). I thought I could just mimic the other participants for how to ride, and I ended up skiing last every time. It became a wonderful memory.
申し込み時に聞いた際、現地には日本語スタッフがいない。。との事で 不安でしたが、同意書等は日本語版の用意がありました。送迎のドライバーさんも優しい方でしたし、現地スタッフの説明は英語でしたが、なんとかなりました(笑)乗り方等は他の参加者の真似をすれば良いと思い、毎回最後に滑りました。良い思い出になりました。
We visited with four adults, all over 20 years old. Although it was a morning course, horseback riding while overlooking the beautiful coastline of North Shore was absolutely fantastic. Our group consisted only of our family of four, but there were two support staff members, and it was no problem even for those who were mostly beginners. The riding time and course distance were just right, without any excess or deficiency. However, the restrooms are basic, so it's advisable to take care of that beforehand.
家族4人といっても全員20歳以上の大人4人で訪れました。午前中のコースでしたが、ノースショワの美しい海岸を眺めながらの乗馬は最高に良かったです。私達の回は私達の家族4人だけでしたが、2人のサポートの方が入っており、ほぼ全員初心者でも問題無かったです。乗馬時間やコースの距離も過不足なく丁度良い感じでした。ただ、トイレ等は簡易式のものなので事前に済ませておいた方が無難です。
What an experience! This tour is definitely worth it. The boat only takes out a max of 6 people which allows for more cage time and less crowds. The cage was plenty big for everyone to see and not feel cramped. We had sharks around us the entire time we were in the water and the water was so clear it was quite the experience. The crew was awesome and very knowledgeable about not only sharks but whales as well. We were able to stop on our way back into harbor and watch the whales for a little bit. Overall such a great experience, highly recommend!
