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!

I so so so recommend the Surf Bus!! It was one of the best ways to see and experience North Shore! The driver was the best! He have great information and was so funny!! The paddle board was amazing, waterfall beautiful and the beach with snorkeling just awesome!! I recommend wearing water shoes as the rocks can be a little hard on your feet...(waterfall and snorkeling areas) Hands down best your we took!

This time, we participated as a couple again. No matter how many times we visit, Gunstock is the best! We ride outside in the mountains, and when I requested to canter because I love it, they let us do it multiple times in places suitable for cantering. The horses are very well trained, and I was very satisfied.
今回も夫婦ふたりでの参加でした。
何度訪れてもガンストックさんは最高です♪
山の中を外乗するのですが、駈歩大好きだとお願いすると
駈歩できそうな場所では何度もやってくれます。

This was an incredible activity. There were quite a few sharks and we were right there with them. It was crazy. We even saw a whale on our way out to the cage. While we were in the cage we could hear the whale singing. It was an awesome activity. The crew was very nice and helpful. We had a great time!

Horseback riding on the beautiful beach was amazing. The horses were participating in a polo match, but they were calm, and I felt safe riding them. I heard there was a polo match on Sunday, and I wanted to go see it if I had the time, but unfortunately, I couldn't. Riding in such beautiful scenery felt refreshing, and I really enjoyed it!
きれいなビーチでの乗馬は最高。ポロ試合に出ている馬たちだったがおとなしく、安心して乗っていられました。日曜日にポロ試合があると言っていたので時間があれば観に行きたかったが、かなわず残念。美しい景色の中での乗馬は心が洗われるようで、楽しかったです♪

We participated as a family of four. Although there were four adults, it was everyone's first experience walking along the beach on horseback, and we all got really excited. The instructor was also kind and spoke to us in English. Each horse had its own personality, and there were some unexpected moments, like when a horse wouldn't move, but it was a very enjoyable activity that allowed us to connect with living creatures. When we go to Hawaii again, we definitely want to do this!
家族4人で参加しました。
大人4人でしたが、海辺を馬に乗りながら歩くのは初めての体験で全員がはしゃいでしまいました。インストラクターのお姉さんも優しく英語で話しかけてくれました。
馬によって性格も様々で、馬がなかなか進まないなどハプニングもありましたが、生き物との触れ合いならではのアクティビティでとても楽しめました。
またハワイに行くときは、絶対にやりたいです!!

Amazing experience! Well over a dozen sharks swimming around, close to the cage. Plenty of time in the water. I would definitely recommend the video which probably adds a few minutes to your experience and is reasonably priced. The staff was personable and safety focused making for a great experience. Of all the activities we have done this trip this is the one we will do again our next time out.

I always rely on Gunstock when I go to Oahu. Usually, it's just my husband and me, but this time we were with other foreign guests. Since there were six of us, I thought we wouldn't be able to canter, but my expectations were exceeded. We had a great time cantering, and I was very satisfied.

Trail riding for the perfect amount of time. The horses were magnificent athletes and very well mannered. More trail than beach. We could have done without the trailblazing through prickers. We could see the ocean the whole time though and saw whales breaching in the distance.

Yassi our guide was excellent and so much fun, this was a gift from my friend Kathy for my 50th birthday! I've always wanted to do a horseback ride on the beach, & San Diego really didn't have any options, so when we planned our trip to Oahu we had to do this! We googled horse back riding on the beach & picked this one immediately. The ride was relaxing and so pretty, we rode polo ponies and they were beautiful and matched perfectly with us, mine was named Chaser! can't wait to come back & do it again! Aloha & Mahalo

We both are experience riders so it was a little tame for us. All you do is get to walk the horses. But it was a beautiful relaxing ride. You dont get to ride right on the beach, but more on the edge of the sand duns and through a field of flowers. Our guide was excellent and the horses are very well trained and friendly. They do show you a brief demonstration on how to guide your horse with the reins as they are polo ponies and not your traditional western horses. And as a safety precaution every one wears a helmet. Overall, it was a nice ride.

We were looking for a tour to see the North Shore but have the freedom to do what we want to do....we couldn't have picked a better tour. This is the perfect tour for people looking for freedom to do/go where they want. We had Sam as our tour guide, a native from Hawaii. He was informative and very the perfect style of guide for this tour. Knew what he was talking about, laid back but still detail oriented enough to handle everyone's activities and where they were. We went there the day of the Volcom Pipe Pro at the Pipeline. We rented bikes at the North Shore Surf Shop (an included activity with the tour - no extra charge) and that allowed us to go freely around. We rode up to the surf competition to watch live. The nice part was with the bikes, you were stuck in one spot the whole time. Watched the competition, then rode down the coast to Sharks Cove and Waimea Bay. It was great to have no schedule or "planned activities" when we got there. We had 3 hours to do what we want. Some wanted nothing to do with the surf competition and they could do what they want. Everyone had their own agenda and this tour worked great with it. (For a quick bite to eat, hit up Pupukea Grill. Its a food truck in Sharks Cove with a heavenly flatbread.) Met back next to Sharks Cove for the bus and rode to Haleiwa for the afternoon. Again, free time through the town to experience the city itself or do water activities at Surf N Sea. We wanted to experience the town, so we went into the surf shops, stores and walked around the town itself. (For a great sandwich, hit up Waialua Bakery and Juice Bar next to the grocery store...phenomenal.) For being a smaller town, Haleiwa is a very cool town to experience. After the town, we were to a beach to view the sea turtles that come on shore. It was amazing to see the turtles that close.

We participated as a couple with pickup from our hotel in Waikiki. We were so excited to see them up close! It seems that the sharks come closer when they hear the sound of the boat's engine, thinking they might get food, but there was no danger of them attacking. Although Japanese was not spoken on the boat or during the pickup, we were able to communicate somewhat through basic conversation. There is a Japanese translation guide on the boat.
Many people mention seasickness, but I took motion sickness medicine beforehand, so I didn't feel sick at all. It should be fine once you get used to it, but the waves can be quite strong. They ask if you want to film underwater videos. For $65, you get about 10 minutes of MP4 footage on an SD card and a bonus DVD, and after the tour, you can buy an original T-shirt for $30, both of which accept credit cards. You don't have to buy them, but I recommend it as a nice keepsake.
Also, it's definitely better to bring a disposable underwater camera. They were selling them on the boat, but since they don't speak Japanese, it's probably best to bring your own. I took a cheap waterproof digital camera I bought in Japan.
I wanted to do some sightseeing on the North Shore, but since the tour ends with immediate return to Waikiki, it might be a good idea for those familiar with Hawaii to rent a car. There seemed to be places nearby where you could park for free. Additionally, we were lucky enough to see a whale, making it a great tour!
ワイキキのホテルからの送迎付きで夫婦で参加しました。
さわれそうな距離で見られて大興奮!
船のエンジン音を聞きつけて餌がもらえると思い、鮫が寄ってくるそうですが襲ってくるような危険さはありませんでした。
送迎も船も日本語は通じませんが、なんとなくの会話で意思疎通は出来ました。
船に日本語訳の説明書はあります。
皆さん書かれている船酔いですが、酔い止めを事前に飲んだので全く船酔いはなし。慣れれば大丈夫ですが揺れは結構大きいです。
船上で水中動画撮影は必要かと聞かれます。SDカードにMP4で10分程度とおまけDVD付きで65$、終了後にオリジナルTシャツ30$、いずれもクレジットカードOKです。
買わなくていいけど記念になるので購入おすすめです。
あと、水中カメラは使い捨てでもいいので持っていった方が絶対いいです。船上でも販売はあったそうですが日本語が通じないので持参のほうがいいかも。私は日本で買った安い防水デジカメを持っていきました。
ノースショアで観光もしたかったのですが終われば即ワイキキへ送迎なので、ハワイ慣れしている人はレンタカーで行くのもいいかもしれないです。近くに無料で停められそうなところはありました。
あと、運よく鯨も出現して、いいツアーになりました。
