This was amazing! I am so glad we picked this as an activity! I would do this again if we ever make it back to Oahu. We saw sharks from the minute we got out and they were around us the entire time. It was a little intimidating at first, but the guides were always watchful above and below the water so I felt as safe as you possible could be given the chosen activity. The only thing I would say could be better was finding what area you are suppose to be to board the boat, there are no signs for check in or really where you are suppose to be and I wish I would have taken my camera I wanted some pictures but felt the group rate was too high. I would recommend this to anyone!

I participated in the local gathering because I wanted to explore various places. For some reason, there were no other Japanese people, and the rest were mostly foreigners, divided into three groups to enter the cage. I took motion sickness medication, but it swayed quite a bit. Even when stationary, it still swayed, so I think it's better to avoid it if you're not feeling well. There are many awake animals, but they seemed quite used to people, so it wasn't particularly scary. However, if you get too close, the cage itself might seem like it could let an Asian-sized person slip out, which could be frightening. Activities like this are not available in Japan, and I really enjoyed it.
他にも色々回りたかったために現地集合で参加しました。なぜか日本人は他にいなくあとは外国の方ばかりで3つのグループに分かれゲージに入ります。酔い止め飲んでいましたが、かなり揺れます。止まっていても揺れるので体調が悪い状況では特にやめた方がいいと思います。また覚めはたくさんいますが、基本人馴れしているのかあまり怖いという状況はなかったです。かといってあまり近すぎてもゲージ自体がアジア人の体型なら抜けていきそうなので、怖いと思います。こういったアクティビティは日本にはないしかなり楽しめました。

On May 31, 2017, my husband and I participated! Recently, ziplining has become popular in Japan, and we were very interested. At that time, I happened to find this perfect site while browsing and immediately made a reservation!
On the day of the event, they picked us up at a nearby hotel, and we headed to Keana Farm with the other participants! Besides us, all four other couples were from English-speaking countries, and our driver couldn't speak Japanese, which made us a bit anxious. However, there was an instructor on-site who was fluent in Japanese, which put us at ease.
We put on our gear and got started! I thought the first line would be a bit scary, but it turned out to be an amazing thrill! While moving around the farm in a buggy, the instructor was kind, fun, and safety-conscious, and before we knew it, our enjoyable time had flown by. I felt like Spider-Man amidst the magnificent nature of Hawaii.
2017/5/31に、夫婦で参加いたしました!日本でも、最近はジップラインができてきて
興味深々でした。そんな時に、丁度サイトを見ていたら絶好なの見付け即、予約!
当日、近くのホテルまで迎えにきて頂き、他の参加者といざ、ケアナファームへ!
私達、夫婦以外は4組全員英語圏の方でドライバーさんも、日本語は出来ずちょい不安でしたが
現地の、インストラクターに日本語が堪能な方がいて、安心しました。
装備を付け、いざ開始!1本目は、ちょいと怖いかと思いましたがイヤイヤ最高な爽快感!

Had a great time swimming with the sharks even though it was in a cage. It was a little windy and the waves were rocking the boat so make sure you can take the rough waters. One got really sick from the motion but only one. It was really fun and well worth it. These sharks were very docile but swam by gracefully for some really good picture taking. I nor anyone on the boat ever felt unsafe swimming with the sharks. So much fun.

Can't say enough about how awesome this was! Wish I could do it every day. Was quite nervous at first but once you get in the water it is so calming to just watch the sharks in their world. The Island View guys were great, gave us all the info we needed before getting in and answered all of our questions.
My only advice for the company is to give a bit more instruction on finding you at the harbor - all we really had was the name of the boat (which is outdated) and we can't exactly walk the whole place reading boat names. We found them eventually and all was well.
If you have the time, this is absolutely a must-do in Oahu. You won't regret it.

My brother and I have long been shark fans. As a keen diver I've seen the occasional reef shark but wanted to see something bigger. We went out on the boat (limited to 6 of us) and after a short ride arrived at the site where we spent probably half an hour by the boat (holding onto the lines) then free swimming and diving with Galapagos and Sandbar sharks (around 40 at one point but always at least 15 around us at varying depths). There were multiple times when we could have touched one with a flipper they were that close but we didn't feel threatened at all (although i would be lying if I said we weren't a bit scared). There was only one shark that bared his teeth to us which was amazing to view and again not threatening. The staff made us feel very safe and are very passionate about the sharks. I've dived around the world but never come across an opportunity to swim with this many large sharks in the wild. I cannot recommend this enough. #HelpSaveSharks

Fortunately, they were in a group with a Japanese person who could speak English, so they were able to enjoy themselves without any worries!
My son, being lighter, couldn't make it to the end and had to turn back a few times, and he also struggled to climb the rope all the way to the top due to lack of stamina. However, it seems that the staff helped him each time, and he was able to enjoy it until the end.

My daughter said she wanted to ride a horse, so I did some research and found good reviews about this place, so I made a reservation. On the day of our visit, we arrived in about an hour by rental car. Our family of four started on time. We rode along the coast and into the woods. There were moments when the horses stopped to eat grass, but generally, they followed the horse in front of them. We returned to the coast, where we took many photos. We rode for just over an hour. All the staff were cool women. Our guide was Jessie. As soon as we finished, she took two horses to practice polo. Tips were separate, so I had prepared some, but she left quickly, and when I asked another staff member to give it to her, they called her back. It’s a bit challenging to get there without a car, but it’s a wonderful place! I definitely want to go again and ride a horse! On the way back, we even saw a beautiful rainbow, making it an unforgettable day! 😊
娘が馬に乗りたいと言うので調べたところ、こちらの評判が良かったので申し込みました。

1時間強は乗っていました。スタッフは皆格好いい女性です。私たちの担当はジェシーさん。私たちが終わるとすぐに、2頭の馬を連れ、ポロの練習に行かれました。チップは別途となっていたので、用意していたのですが、すぐに行かれてしまい、他のスタッフに「渡して下さい」と言うと、呼び戻してくれました。
車がないと行かれないので、ちょっと大変ですが、素晴らしいところです‼是非また行って、馬に乗りたいです❗

We participated as a couple during the Golden Week in May. It was incredibly fun. I want to do it again. The driver couldn't speak Japanese, but there was someone among the staff during the zip line activity who could speak Japanese. Maybe there happened to be someone in our group who could speak it. They taught us patiently. It's fine even if you only speak English. All the staff were kind.
Definitely bring a camera or smartphone! But make sure to attach a strap so you don't drop it. Or wear pants with zippers? Just make sure you don't drop anything. If you're doing the morning session, you'll finish after 1 PM, so you'll return to Waikiki around 2 PM. We thought we might get hungry, so we had a little donut on the bus. Others didn't seem to eat anything, though (laughs) just for reference.

A trip with three women in their forties.
A car with "Keana Farm" written on it came to pick us up.
Before we started, one friend who wasn't good at sports and was a bit afraid of heights ended up having a great time, even sliding upside down with hands off the harness at the end.
The staff accompanying us took photos—52 pictures of the three of us.
I attached a digital camera to my wrist to take pictures of my companions, but since I couldn't capture myself sliding, I ended up buying one.
They also sold original T-shirts from Keana Farm.
The point where we had to climb up using our arm strength was tough!
Personally, the scariest part for me was the point where we had to jump down about 3 to 4 meters.
Of course, there was a safety harness, and staff were there to catch us, but I couldn't keep my knees straight and ended up sitting down on landing. How embarrassing!

We participated as a couple from Waikiki, taking the bus. We arrived early to avoid being late and walked about 10 minutes from the bus stop, but no one was there. There were several booths surrounded by fences, and the horses were lounging around, looking quite relaxed.
After waiting for 50 minutes, just as our reservation time was approaching, we heard cheerful voices and about ten people returned. They each took commemorative photos before leaving, and we thought we could get on right away, but we were told, "You have to wait for one more group to arrive," and we ended up waiting another 30 minutes.
Finally, we started with a family of four from California, but the eldest daughter’s horse wouldn’t move. The instructor, who was at the front of the line, just kept saying to kick its belly. I thought we could have switched horses, or even used my horse from the riding club.
We returned as scheduled, but we could have ridden for another 30 minutes, right? Unlike the previous group, we didn’t get to take commemorative photos, which was a bit disappointing. However, we did give a proper tip. If we participate again, we plan to request a horse that can run.

遅れてはならないと、早めの到着でバス停から10分ほど歩いて到着するも、誰もいない。

待つこと50分、私たちの予約時間になろうとした頃、きゃっきゃと声が聞こえてきて、10人くらいの皆さんが帰って来た。
そのみなさんがそれぞれ記念撮影などして帰って行き、すぐ乗れるのかと思いきや「もう一組客が来るから待ってて」と言われ、再び待つこと30分。

We were caught in heavy rain right after we started our ride at Hawaii Polo Club, so we couldn't begin horseback riding for a while. After that, the rain lightened up, and we enjoyed riding in the refreshing atmosphere after the rain. However, my daughter's horse suddenly crouched down, perhaps trying to dry off its wet body, which surprised us. Fortunately, the guide responded quickly, and since my daughter was accustomed to riding, she wasn't scared and we were able to start again. It was our first experience like this, and it made us realize that we are riding living creatures, not machines.
There were also small mishaps afterward, but we enjoyed those as well. It was a wonderful experience to take a pleasant walk along the beach with the horse, creating great memories.

One Ocean Diving is a class act, and how they go about teaching you about how to swim with sharks is as professional as it gets. Never once did I feel nervous about jumping into the open ocean with these animals. The cost might be slightly high for a tour without any transportation, lunch or anything else, but knowing that your money is going toward ongoing research about sharks is well worth it. All staff know what they are doing and their passion for what they do really shows. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

This was our first time Ziplining but will not be our last! We wanted to have a great family vacation that we would talk about and laugh at for years to come and this was the perfect way to start our trip in Hawaii! The guides were funny, friendly and always kept safety first...I really appreciated that. My kids are daredevils so flying over trees, being held by a metal "rope" was no biggie for them. I am a much more conservative person so I needed a bit of encouragement - which I got and I am so glad that I threw up my chaka and had fun.
This is a MUST do if you are ever in the area. The views of the ocean are beyond amazing, flying over trees and smelling the sweet air is wonderful and just being in paradise does the soul good!
We did not even realize how much "work" we did climbing, ziplining and walking over the two hours. And it was two hours but we were having so much fun we did not realize... I guess that time does fly when you are having fun!
This is a must do and redo!

I experienced this in late April 2017. I love heights and am a big fan of zipline activities. I saw it on TV and immediately researched and made a reservation. During my stay in Honolulu, I didn't rent a car, so I opted for a plan that included transportation.
On the day of the activity, the pickup arrived about 10 minutes past the scheduled time. They came in a wrapped car that had "North Shore Kahana Farm" written on it, which made it easy to identify. There were two groups of Japanese people: my husband and I, and two young women, while the other eight participants plus the driver were all foreigners. On the way, the driver took us to a spot with a stunning view of the ocean. He even drove us into his home, where he mentioned he had a small role in the movie Jurassic Park (I might have misunderstood due to my limited English), and we got to enjoy his bragged-about scenic view.
I felt a bit guilty towards the kind driver because I was sleepy from the early morning, and I dozed off along the way, only to wake up when we arrived. We registered each participant on an iPad, stored our belongings, put on helmets and other gear, and then it was time to go.
I've experienced ziplining in Chichibu, Japan, but the height, distance, and scenery here are superior! There are courses where you zipline over quite a long distance, and the views were beautiful and very enjoyable. In Chichibu, there were no staff, and you had to manage the equipment yourself, but here, three staff members from the farm (one of whom spoke Japanese) accompanied us, helping with the equipment and the retrieval after the zipline, which made it very convenient.
They taught us various techniques, like letting go of the hands, flipping over, and curling up to gain speed, allowing us to enjoy diverse zipping experiences. I regretted forgetting my phone case that hangs around the neck, but I think it's better not to have a smartphone if you're going to flip over.
As a tip, for the second zipline and onwards, grab the red cord just before reaching the goal. It seems to help the staff with the retrieval. Also, if you don't reach a certain speed, you might stop before reaching the goal. In such cases, the staff will assist you manually (with their legs?), so there's no need to worry. After finishing, we had some waiting time in the car, and I was glad I brought Spam musubi from ABC Mart. Lastly, the staff takes photos during the zipping, which you can purchase. They cost $15 for one, $30 for two to three, and $45 for four or more (or all of them).
I hope everyone creates wonderful memories too!
2017.4月下旬に体験。高いところが大好きでジップラインアクティビティが大好物の私。テレビで見てすぐに調べて予約しました。ホノルル滞在中、レンタカーをとらなかったので送迎付きプランで申し込みました。
当日、指定時間の10分過ぎ頃にお迎えが来ました。ノースショアケアナファームとかなんとか書いてあるラッピングカーで来てくれるので分かりやすいです。私たち夫婦と若い女性2名の2組が日本人で、それ以外の8名+運転手さんは全員外国人の方でした。行きの車ではすごくきれいに海が見える場所にもつれていってくださいました。映画ジュラシックパークにちょっとのったという運転手さんの自宅(私のつたない英語力なので間違っているかも)にも車でひゅっと入ってくれて、ご自慢の絶景を私たちも拝ませてもらいました。
そんな親切な運転手さんには申し訳なかったのですが、朝早くて眠かったので途中からうとうとしていたらいつのまにか到着。iPadで参加者ごとに登録手続きを行い、荷物を預け、ヘルメットなど装備をつけてもらっていざ出陣。
日本では秩父のジップラインを経験したことがありますが、高さも距離も景色もこちらが格上です!かなり長い距離をジップラインで滑走するコースもありますが、景色もきれいでとても楽しかったです。秩父は係員はおらず自分で器具をかけて回るのですが、こちらはファームの方3人(うち1人は日本語が話せる方でした)が必ずついてくださって、器具をかけるのも滑走の回収もしてくださるので、とっても楽ちんでした。
手を離したり、ひっくり返ったり、ちぢこまってスピードが出るようにしたりといろいろ教えてもらって多様な滑走を楽しみました。当日、首からぶら下げるタイプの携帯ケースを忘れて後悔したのですが、ひっくり返ったりするならばスマホはない方が良いと思いました。
補足ですが、2本目以降のジップラインはゴール直前時、赤いひもをつかみましょう。係員さんが回収してくれるのに役立っているみたいです。あと、スピードがある程度でていないと、ゴールまでたどり着く前に止まることがあるみたいです。そんなときも、係員さんが人力(足力?)で助けてくれるので心配ご無用です。あと、終了後、車の中で出発前の待ち時間があったのですがABCマートのスパムむすびを持って行って正解でした。さいごに、係員さんが滑走時等の写真を撮ってくださるのですが、購入可能です。1枚15ドル、2〜3枚30ドル、4枚以上(全部も)45ドルでした。
みなさんも是非素敵な思い出にしてください!

I experienced this during spring break. My son, who is in the third grade, my niece in her twenties, and I in my forties all took on the challenge together. It was everyone's first time riding a horse, and we were worried about whether we could actually ride, but we were able to smoothly get on the horse from the mounting block.
The instructions were in English, but they used gestures to teach us, so even with zero English skills, we managed just fine. We rode in a line through the grasslands and between the trees, not just on flat ground but also on rocky mountain paths, stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery for about an hour. It was a valuable experience that is hard to come by in Japan.
Although it's quite a distance from Waikiki, it took two hours by bus from Ala Moana Center, and it was worth the effort to get there.
春休みに体験しました。
小学3年生の息子、20代の姪、40代の私の3名で挑戦。ひとりで乗馬はみんな初めてで、馬に乗れるのか…と心配でしたが、台にのった状態から馬にまたがったのでスンナリ乗れました。
説明は英語でしたが、身ぶり手振りで教えてくれたので英語力ゼロでもどうにかなりました。
一列になって草原や木の間、平坦なところだけでなく歩きにくそうな山道を進み途中途中で景色を眺めるために止まりながら約1時間、貴重な体験ができました。日本ではなかなか体験できないのでよかったです。
ワイキキから距離がありますが、アラモアナセンターからバスで2時間、頑張って行った甲斐がありました。

Beach activities are great, but leisurely horseback riding next to Hawaii's beautiful ocean is a precious experience. The view is so good that it really lifted my spirits. However, since you ride for an hour, it can get a bit painful on your backside (laughs). If I could wish for more, it would be that since we only walked, it would be even more fun if we could run. This experience sparked a strong interest in horseback riding for me. By the way, no Japanese is understood at all. All the instructions were in English. However, the horse was very smart and walked and stopped without any signals, so I felt completely at ease.
ビーチアクティビティーも良いですが、ハワイの綺麗な海の横でのんびり乗馬も貴重な体験です。
とにかく眺めが良いので、テンションがあがりました。ただ、1時間も乗っているので、お尻が痛くなります(笑)
欲を言うと、歩くだけなので、走れるようになったらさらに楽しいだろうと、このことがきっかけで、乗馬に非常に、興味を持ちました。
ちなみに、日本語は全く通じないです。
説明は全て英語でした。
ただ、馬はとてもお利口さんで、何も合図しなくても、歩いたり止まったりしてくれて、何の不安もありませんでした。

It takes more than 1 hour and 30 minutes from Waikiki. The 1 hour and 30 minute trail ride had gates every 200 meters, and after opening and closing them, we moved at a brisk pace and then to a gallop, without any worries about the horses running away. The horses also seemed to be stress-free. Along the way, a donkey followed us, and it was adorable. The lady was also very friendly with a lovely smile.
ワイキキからは1時間30分以上です。1時間30分のトレール乗馬は200mごとにでゲートがあり、それを開け閉めしてからの速足から駆足で、暴走の心配がなかったです。馬もストレスがないように見えました。途中でロバが後をついてきて、可愛かったです。お姉さんも笑顔が素敵だった。

Last time, I went to Kualoa Ranch, so this time I came here.
The scenery was amazing, and I had a very peaceful time.
There were no other Japanese participants besides us, and the staff only spoke English.
Compared to Kualoa, there were fewer tourists, making it a hidden gem!
前回、クアロア牧場へ行ったので今回はこちらへ
景色が最高で、とっても穏やかな時間を過ごせました。
私たち以外、日本人の参加者は一組もおらず、アテンドは英語のみ。
クアロアに比べて観光客も少なく、穴場です!
