All-Inclusive Oahu Island Tour with Lunch & Waimea Valley Waterfall Nature Walk

Beautiful spots and a great guide

Reviewed by: Laura J

The list of places to visit is nicely curated and I think we had enough time to walk around each site, take photos, and even buy souvenirs. Our guide, Jojo, was fantastic. He had too many stories to tell to keep us entertained and was very knowledgeable about Hawaii's culture, history, and ecology.
The only downside of this tour was that you are on a large bus so, if you are picked up last and have a seat at the back of the bus, you're going to spend a lot of time going on and off. However, Jojo knew that this might be frustrating and started counting time right after the last person was out.
The bus was clean and the lunch was ok.

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Wonderful experience!

Reviewed by: Holly. K

The guide was very friendly, kind and helpful. The horses were really smart and well trained. It was the first time for us to do horse riding, but nothing was difficult and had a really good time spending time enjoying the beautiful beach while riding the cute horses. We enjoyed this activity the most between all the things we did during our vacation in Hawaii.
The transportation to this place was a bit poor. We took Uber to this place and tried to schedule an Uber/Lyft for going back before hand but it was unavailable around this spot. On the way back, there was no Uber/ Lyft available so we had to use taxi which cost us triple. I would recommend renting a car to get to this place or set up a taxi pick up in advance so you wouldn’t have to worry.
The activity itself was really good and it was worth paying all the cost getting here and going back as well.
We would definitely want to go back next time we visit Oahu again!

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Worth it

Reviewed by: Wes M.

We really enjoyed the trail ride. The staff was friendly and the group was small. The scenery was the best part. I will admit I thought we would be riding in the sand and the water but that was not the case. Most of the ride was on a trail behind the actual beach but you still got a great view of the beach. This is a basic and slow ride and the horses basically walk themselves. It was expensive but the memories are worth ii.

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Nice but left us wanting

Reviewed by: Dogmom1980

The ladies who worked there were nice and friendly. The horses seemed well cared for. It was a nice ride but we would have preferred a little faster. It was Super slow. And they made us wear a helmet which we thought was not necessary, especially with how slow we went. Also it would have looked better in the pictures without the helmet. So overall, for the price, we really would have liked these things mentioned. A little disappointed unfortunately. But it was nice and peaceful.

Best experience from our trip!

Reviewed by: Shelby

Our three guides (Liz, Carter, and Kiki- may be wrong about the names, sorry) gave us an amazing experience and were so fun! I felt safe the entire time and felt confident by the end to go upside down. I ziplined side by side with my husband and loved every minute! The views are absolutely breathtaking! If you're an adrenaline junkie, this is an absolute must! If you're not, I would still recommend this to try something new, exciting, and maybe even conquer a fear!

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!

I wonder if it's okay for beginners in horseback riding. 乗馬初心者でも大丈夫かな

Reviewed by: ウミガメ

Since the trail tour at Kualoa Ranch was fully booked and I was planning to go to Haleiwa, I made a reservation here, which was available nearby. The staff explained how to operate the horse, but I couldn't understand any English at all. However, I was able to grasp the basic commands for the horse (go, stop, turn left, turn right) through gestures. Once we set off on the trail, our horse followed the staff's horse on its own, so we hardly needed to use the reins (the horse is smart!).

While swaying on the horse's back, I was able to slowly enjoy the view of the ocean through the pine forest by the beach, making it enjoyable even for someone with no riding experience. It's best to wear clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting dirty, and keep your belongings to a minimum (no backpacks allowed; you can fit a phone and a water bottle in the saddlebag that hangs from the saddle).

クアロアランチのトレイルツアーが予約いっぱいでハレイワに行くつもりだったので近隣で予約可能だったこちらを予約。
対応してくれたスタッフが馬の操作方法を説明してくれましたがこちらは英語全く聞き取れず
しかし身振りでお馬さんの簡単な操作方法(進め・止まれ・右左ターン)は理解できましたしいざトレイルに出発するとスタッフの馬に我々の馬は勝手に追従してくれてほぼ、手綱操作は不要でした(お馬さん賢い!)
馬の背中に揺られながらゆっくりとビーチ横の松林を海を眺めてることができ乗馬未経験でも楽しむことができました。
服装・靴は汚れても良い格好で荷物も最小限(リュック不可で鞍に引っ掛けるサドルバッグにケータイと水筒が入るくらい)でいきましょう。

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

We'd do it again!

Reviewed by: Mei and Haleo

We had an outstanding experience! The captain and co-captain were friendly and professional. We arrived at the cage and returned to our destination safely. We were fortunate to see a few sharks. I thought I might get seasick but to my surprise I did not. I think it was because my grandson and I ate a bland meal beforehand and do not drink coffee. Unfortunately, two of the passengers did get sick and went palu in the cage! Auwe! Overall a great experience and we'd do it again.

  • Beautiful day in Hawai'i nei

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Relaxing beach ride.

Reviewed by: Laura

We enjoyed our horseback ride on the beach. The scenery was beautiful, the ride easy. It wasn't 2 hours as advertised, closer to 1 hour 40 minutes, but still a nice ride. They make you wear helmets which I wish was optional because I didn't feel they were necessary since we only walked the horses and the horses were very gentle. It would have been nice if we could have run the horses, but with beginner riders on the trip I understand that that was not an option and they let you know it's walking only. Our guide Ella was very friendly. Overall we were pleased with the ride.

Do the EARLY morning tour, it's worth waking up early!

Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii

Sharks!! Yes...SHARKS. And yes, you CAN see them from the boat. It's wild to see such majestic creatures in their natural habitat. You go a few miles offshore for this trip so it does get choppy. We did an early morning tour which has calmer ocean conditions than the later tours. And I am so glad we did! We only had a super light breakfast before going out (think a bit of fruit, light bites only).

Zipline with gorgeous ocean views

Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii

8 ziplines, 2 rappels, and 3 sky bridges. This course has the longest zipline on Oahu with one of the zips being 1/2 mile long. I loved having ocean views throughout the ziplining experience. There were water stations throughout the course. We did the afternoon zipline and I'm so glad I wore plenty of sunscreen! Prepare to work up a sweat as you go throughout the course. There's stairs for some of the zipline platforms. Overall, really nice ocean views, friendly staff & had a blast!

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Amazing and extremely lucky.

Reviewed by: Juan

It started with a great day, very little wind which made the water very calm. Boat rode out was smooth, and finally arriving to the cage we were immediately greeted with sharks, and not just any sharks but 3 TIGER SHARKS!!. I know that TIGERS are rare for the area but the fact that 3 were there for the entire dive was amazing. The crew were awesome in ensuring that everyone was calm and answered any questions. I definitely recommend and would love to dive again

Informative

Reviewed by: Kara

Surf bus instructor, Kevin was very informative- he gave us info to places that we must see and foods/places to eat at.
Enjoyed snorkeling wish we would of seen turtles though. Kayaking time was limited we had to go back to the bus to head back to Waikiki. We did get to visit the small towns on our way to North Shore that grows fresh vegetable and fruits, I think the two stops caused us to use up time on the water activities.

Great experience

Reviewed by: Chelsea

The crew was wonderful! We saw dolphins on the way out there which was a nice addition to the shark tour. When we got out to the cage we were met by about 8 sharks that stuck around the entire time we were in the cage. When we were about to leave we were able to get back into the cage because a tiger shark had approached so we got a look at her for a bit.

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>

Despite the unexpected reservation mix-up, I had a fun experience. まさかの予約違いがあるも楽しい経験できました

Reviewed by: パンエク

We participated as a group of four. When we arrived at the reception, we were shocked to find that there was no reservation under our name. Upon investigation, we discovered that although we had received a confirmation email, our reservation had somehow been changed the day before, and the day of the event was fully booked. Initially, we were told that we could not participate.

However, they made various adjustments for us and created a private group for just the four of us, resulting in a very enjoyable experience with three instructors dedicated to us. It was our first time zip-lining, but there was no fear, and including the trial run, we enjoyed eight lines so much that we lost track of time.

Please note that the instructions were given in quite fast English. We had someone in our group who was fluent in English, so it wasn't a problem for us, but there are a few points to be aware of:
- Each time, you start by standing on a small platform while the instructor prepares you.
- Do not touch the wire.
- At one point, just before the finish, if you feel like you are about to stop, grab the red rope at the instructor's signal (grabbing it beforehand will activate the brake).

4名で参加しました。受付にいくとまさかの予約がないという状況でした。
調べていただいたら、事前確認メールもきていたのになぜか前日に変更されており、もう当日は予約でいっぱい。最初はもうできないと言われました。

しかしながら、色々と調整してくれて、我々4人だけのグループを組んでくれて、結果インストラクター3名を独占する形でとても楽しい経験ができました。
ジップラインは初めてでしたが、怖さもなくトライアルの1本含めて8本時間が経つのを忘れるぐらい楽しめました。

なお、英語はかなり早く、我々は同伴者に英語が堪能な人がいたので問題なかったですが、いくつか気を付ける点があるのでご注意ください。
・毎回最初に小さい台の上に乗ってインストラクターに準備してもらう
・ワイヤーはさわならい
・途中からですが、ゴール直前で止まりそうになったら、インストラクターの合図で赤いロープをつかむ(その前につかむとブレーキかかってしまう)

  • 風力発電のプロペラが近くにたくさんあります

  • インストラクターの方が説明してくれます

  • 海に向かう長いジップラインは爽快です
