Considering the transportation, costs, and time spent in Hawaii, I honestly hesitated before making the reservation. However, my experience was truly amazing, and I was able to enjoy a luxurious time in Hawaii! The scenery and interaction with the horses were unique, and I felt genuinely healed while riding and feeling the warmth of the horses (*^^*).
We debated on transportation, but we decided to rent a car. We were able to stop by shops in Haleiwa and enjoy garlic shrimp from a food truck (it was emotional to have it again after 15 years!) and also visited the Dole Plantation, making for a very fulfilling day that included horseback riding. The instructor spoke entirely in English, but explained things clearly with gestures. The horses were very well-behaved, and we enjoyed a relaxed ride while only lightly holding the reins (^^).
The entrance by car was a bit tricky to find, but once you see the arena, slow down a bit, and you'll find the gate. After entering through the first large gate, you'll soon see the horses. We changed into shoes in the car (my husband wore sneakers, while my daughter and I wore compact flat shoes with belts to avoid bulky luggage) and prepared by signing in and borrowing helmets and storage for our belongings. The storage was a pocket-style that could be placed on the horse's back, fitting a phone, camera, and even a small water bottle. We also got to take photos by the beach, which made for wonderful memories! (The instructor called out at just the right moments.)
We wore long pants, but there was no worry about getting dirty while riding, so we could go shopping afterward. (Since there was a bit of sand blowing, it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes if you're concerned.) The daytime was fantastic, but I imagine the sunset would offer even more beautiful scenery, so I hope to experience it again!
The theme of this trip was to experience things that can only be done in Hawaii, and this horseback riding experience was perfect for that, creating the best memories for our family! Thank you so much to the wonderful instructor and the adorable horses ( ´ ▽ ` ) mahalo!
現地までの移動やお値段、ハワイでの滞在時間を考えた際、申し込みまで正直悩みました。しかし実際体験できての感想は、本当に贅沢なハワイ時間を過ごすことができて最高でした!!まさしくここでしか経験できない景色とお馬達との触れ合い、乗せてもらってお馬さんの温もりを感じながら本当に癒されました(*^^*)
移動手段で悩みましたが私達はレンタカーで向かい、ハレイワのお店やワゴンのガーリックシュリンプ(15年振りに食べれてそれも感動でした!)やドールプランテーションにも立ち寄れたので乗馬を含めとても充実した1日になりました。
先生はオール英語ではありますが、ジェスチャーなども交えながら分かりやすく説明してくれます。先生についていく感じで本当にお利口なお馬さん達でこちらは手綱を軽く持つ程度でゆったり乗馬を楽しめました(^^)
車での入り口が少し分かりづらいですが競技場がみえてきたら少しゆっくり走行していくとゲートがあり1つ目の大きなゲートの次のところを入っていくとすぐお馬達がみえる感じです。車で靴をシューズ(主人はスニーカー、私と娘は荷物がかさばらないよう少しコンパクトになるベルト付きのフラットシューズ)に履き替え、乗る前にサイン、ヘルメットと荷物入れを借りて準備します。荷物入れはお馬さんの背中に置かせてもらえるポケット式のもので携帯やカメラ、小さいものであれば水筒も入るサイズです。途中浜辺のところで写真も撮ってもらえて最高の記念になりました!!(程よいタイミングで先生が声を掛けてくれます)
服装は長ズボンになりますが乗った際に汚れてしまうようなことはなくそのまま買い物などできました。(若干砂が舞うので気になる方は着替えを持参されるといいかもです)
日中も最高でしたがサンセットの時間はさらにいい風景なのだろうと思うので、また体験できたらと思いました!
ハワイでしか体験できないことをが今回の旅行のテーマだったので、こちらでの乗馬体験はまさしくそれにぴったりで、家族の最高の思い出になりました!!
素敵な先生、そして可愛いお馬さん達、本当にありがとうございました( ´ ▽ ` )mahalo!

Two Japanese women in their 30s (English: both at a conversational level) went on this tour! We started at 9 AM and encountered a total of six sharks! It was so much fun!! The staff were cheerful and energetic from the morning! Great smiles! They were kind! One of them spoke Japanese very well and explained everything in Japanese, which made us feel at ease.
I hope the following information is helpful:
▶ We took an Uber taxi to the designated location in the North Shore (it was about $60 from Waikiki).
* I think other participants also took a taxi.
* There is a bus that goes from Ala Moana Center, platform 52, to the North Shore, so you can also take the bus (it costs $3 and takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes).
▶ The waves are big and strong, so it's better to take motion sickness medication◎
▶ Once you arrive at the shark point, there will be guidance to get into the cage right away, so make sure to put on your snorkel gear beforehand!
30代日本人女性2人(英語:お互い日常会話レベル)でいってきました!
朝9時スタートのツアー参加で、計6匹のサメに出会えました〜〜〜!とっても楽しかったです!!
スタッフの方々は明るくて朝から元気!いい笑顔!優しい!1人の方は日本語がとってもお上手で、説明も日本語でしてくれたので安心して挑めました。
以下、参考になれば嬉しいです。
▶ノースショアの指定場所までUberタクシー(ワイキキから約60$くらいだった)で向かいました。
※他の参加者の方もタクシーだった気がします。
※アラモアナセンター発52番乗り場〜ノースショアまでバスが出ているのでバスでも行けます(3$、1時間30分)
▶波が大きくて強いので、酔い止めを飲んだほうがよいです◎
▶サメのいるポイントについたらすぐにケージに入るよう案内があるので、シュノーケル装着等はしておきましょう!

Since it's the North Shore, we were navigating through quite rough waves. There were no other Japanese people besides us, and although our English is not great, we managed somehow. Once we entered the water, there were more than ten sharks around, each about 2 meters long. My daughter was super excited! It was truly a valuable experience. On the way back, even though I took motion sickness medication, I ended up feeling nauseous. There were others besides me who also felt unwell.
ノースショアなので結構な荒波の中を進んで行きます。私たち以外、日本人はおらず、私たちも英語は全然だめですが、なんとかなります。いざ、海の中へ入ると2メートル級のサメが10匹以上ウロウロしていました。娘も大興奮!本当に貴重な体験でした。帰りは酔い止めを飲んでいても吐きました。私以外にも気分が悪くなっておられる方がいました。

There was no guide who could speak Japanese, and basic English communication skills were necessary, but even though I couldn't speak any English at all, they kindly explained things while using a language translation app on their phone and actively engaged in communication, which made it really enjoyable for me. That said, it's definitely true that being able to speak English would enhance the experience even more.
I recommend participating in clothes that you wouldn't mind throwing away. The red dirt stains won't come out even after washing. I participated in a white shirt that I planned to discard, and after the event, it turned into a reddish-brown shirt. (It also got soaked in the rain...)
The tour runs on really bumpy roads from a certain point, so it's better for people with neck or back issues to skip it. (I think there was something in the consent form before participation that mentioned self-responsibility.)
I'm not sure if it was because the weather was rainy when we participated, but the goggles provided had gaps where water could get in, and they became hard to see through due to dirt, while we were going at quite a speed (about 20 km/h), making it difficult to keep up. Especially for those with contact lenses, it's hard to keep your eyes open. (I was one of them.)
There are no shower rooms, just a place to wash your face and hands, and if you want to take a shower, you'll need to go to a nearby beach.
日本語を話せるガイドがおらず、基本的な英語でのコミュニケーション能力が必要とありましたが、全く英語が出来ない自分にも嫌な顔せず、携帯で言語変換しながら優しく説明してくれたり、コミュニケーションも積極的にとってくれて盛り上げてもらい、すごく楽しめました。
とはいえ、やはり英語はできるほうが更に楽しめることは間違いないです。
服装は本当に捨ててもいい服で参加する事をお勧めします。赤土での汚れは洗濯しても取れません。
自分は捨てる予定の白シャツで参加し、参加後には赤茶色のシャツになってました。(雨が降って染み込んだのもありますが…)
ツアーは途中から本当に凸凹の道を走るので、首や腰の悪い人はやめた方がいいです。(参加前の承諾書にも自己責任でみたいなのが書いてあったと思います。)
自分達が参加した時の天気が雨だったからなのかわかりませんが、貸してもらえるゴーグルだと隙間から入ってきたり、ゴーグルが汚れで見え辛くなっているのに、結構なスピード(約20Km/h)で走るのでついて行くのが大変でした。
特にコンタクトの方は目が開けてられないです。(自分がそうでした)
シャワールームはなく、顔や手を洗うぐらいの場所があるだけで、シャワーを浴びたければ近くのビーチまで行く必要があります。

I had an amazing time with my experience ATV-ing on the north shore. North Shore stables is awesome. The owner truly believes in giving back to the community and the experience I had was the best activity I’ve had thus far on the island. Not commercialized, pure, and the ATV driver (I forget her name) was awesome. I can’t say enough about how you should book with North Shore stables! This is an unbiased authentic review by a tourist who felt some real family vibes here. North shore stables is on to big things! Mahalo and thank you for the experience.

I participated in the tour that started at 9:30 AM. Since we were told to meet on-site and check in 30 minutes early, I left my hotel in Waikiki at 7 AM with plenty of time, heading towards Haleiwa. The drive from Waikiki to the freeway was a bit congested, but after that, it was smooth sailing. I arrived around 8 AM near the North Shore and stopped by the 7-Eleven in Haleiwa for breakfast. (They sell pasta, hand rolls, and sandwiches similar to those in Japan.) I reached the harbor parking lot by 8:30 AM. After parking in a spot of my choice, I checked in at a small hut marked 'North Shore Adventures.' When I provided my last name, I was informed in English that "there is no restroom on the boat, so please take care of that in the brown building over there," and "wait around the pink hut until it's time." By the way, this tour company owns four boats, which have Japanese names like 'Kaiou' and 'Abunai.' This time, we were on the boat called 'Kanpai,' and fortunately, the captain was a Japanese person from Kumamoto (I believe his name was Reese; I apologize if I'm mistaken), who communicated with us entirely in Japanese. Once everyone was gathered, we set sail even before the scheduled time. We took off our sandals, placed them in a black box, and boarded barefoot, choosing our seats. After that, the staff provided explanations in English, mainly about "rules on the boat," "shark information," and "group division." This time, everyone except us was foreign, and we were divided into two groups of six, totaling 12 people. It took about 15 minutes to reach the site, and we arrived in no time. As many have mentioned, it does sway quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must. (It's not too bad while moving, but after the engine stops, the cage is directly affected by the waves.) If you forget, there is a 24-hour drugstore (Longs Drugs) in Waikiki where you can find "motion sickness" medication. After putting on our snorkels, we descended into the cage using a ladder while holding a GoPro. There were quite a few sharks. They passed right in front of us one after another, so take your time to get into position before starting to film. They are a docile type of shark, so they won't attack. After enjoying it for about 20 minutes, we switched with the next group and waited on the boat. There are no changing rooms on the boat, so we headed back in our swimsuits. This time, we returned to port at 11:30 AM, making it a very compact activity of about two hours from departure to return. If you choose an early morning tour, you'll have the entire afternoon free for exploring Haleiwa Town, shopping, or driving along the coastline, making for a meaningful day. Overall, this became the best memory of my trip to Oahu. I highly recommend it. Thank you very much.
朝9時半スタートの回に参加しました。現地集合、30分前にチェックインとのことでしたので、時間に余裕を持ってワイキキのホテルを朝7時にレンタカーで出発、ハレイワへ向かいました。ワイキキからフリーウェイまでは多少混みますが後はスイスイ、8時過ぎにはノースショア辺りへ到着、ハレイワのセブンイレブンに寄り朝食をとりました。(日本のセブンに近いパスタや手巻き、サンドイッチが売られています。)8時半にはハーバーの駐車場へ到着。好きな駐車スペースへ停めた後『North Shore Adventures』と書かれた小さな小屋で受付です。ラストネーム(苗字)を伝えると英語で「船にはトイレが無いからあそこの茶色い建物で済ませておくこと」、「時間までピンクの小屋周辺で待機すること」など伝えられます。ちなみにこちらの催行会社では船を4隻所有しており、『海王』や『危ない』など日本語の名前が付いています。今回は『乾杯』という船でしたが、たまたま運よくキャプテンが熊本出身の日本語の方(おそらくReeseさん、違っていたらごめんなさい。)で終始日本語で対応して頂けました。全員揃い次第、時間前でも出航です。サンダルを脱いで黒い箱に入れ裸足で乗船、好きな席へ座ります。その後スタッフから英語で説明、主に「船でのルール」「サメの説明」「グループ分け」についてです。今回は私たち以外は全員外国の方で全部で12名、6名ずつの2グループに分けられました。出航から現場まで15分ほど、あっという間に到着します。皆さん書いている通りかなり揺れますので酔い止め必須です。(走行時はそうでも無いですがエンジン停止後と、ケージが海面のため波の影響をもろに受ける)。もし忘れた場合、ワイキキには24時間営業のドラッグストア(Longs Drugs)がありますのでそこで「motion sickness」で探せば見つかります。シュノーケル着用後、GoProを持ってケージの中へハシゴで降ります。サメはかなりの数います。次から次へと目の前を通り過ぎるので、焦らずしっかり体勢を整えてから動画撮影開始です。おとなしい種類のサメですのでもちろん襲ってきたりはしません。約20分ほど楽しんだ後次グループと交代、船へ上がって待機です。船には更衣室はありませんので、水着のまま帰路に付きます。今回は帰港時11:30、出航から帰港まで約2時間の大変コンパクトなアクティビティでした。午前早目の回を選べば午後はまるまる空きますのでハレイワタウン散策やお買い物、海岸線をドライブなど有意義な1日を過ごせると思います。総合的に今回のオアフ島旅行で一番の思い出になりました。かなりお勧めだと思います。ありがとうございました。

Experience was easily worth it for the money. Many other tour options in the area, but this one easily is the best for the price. The included photos & videos to allow you to be in the moment is a fantastic plus that I wish every company did for experiences like this. It allows you to still remember it without having cameras all over the place.I also highly recommend you forgo cage diving & instead do this type, it is a better experience.
The crew was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful & friendly. You can tell they love the experience & getting people to overcome their fears & have a great time. At no time during the whole swim did I feel unsafe. The divers did a great job of keeping everyone together & in a good area, and communicating necessary instructions. They did a remarkable job showcasing how misunderstood sharks are & once you get out swimming with them, it really does become apparent how calm they can be. They’re just as curious of us as we are of them.
I would do this experience again in a heartbeat.

I made a reservation in the morning and had an experience.
First, regarding the start time, it's not a day off even if no one is there; it's just that the tour hasn't returned yet, so it's okay to wait. Hawaii is relaxed about time! Don't worry about it.
Children can ride alone, making it a great experience. You can leisurely sway on the horse and enjoy the nature of Hawaii.
Since you can't gallop, it might be a bit lacking for those seeking excitement, but the beach horseback riding was very nice.
午前中の申し込みをして体験しました。
まず開始時間ですが、誰もいない状態でもお休みではありません、ツアーから戻っていないだけで待っていればOKです、時間にはおおらかなハワイです!気にしないでください。
子供も一人で乗馬できるので良い体験になります、のんびり馬に揺られハワイの自然を満喫出来ます。
駆け足は出来ないので刺激が欲しい方には物足りないかもしれませんが、海辺の乗馬はとても良いものでした。

The location was a bit hard to find, but we were able to get there with the help of a taxi driver using Google Maps. I went with my family, and my college and high school kids also enjoyed it. We were able to take a leisurely stroll by the seaside, and it was a priceless time that created wonderful memories. There are only portable toilets, so I think it's better to take care of that beforehand. Bottled water and soda are sold in the waiting area, but they are a bit overpriced, so it's better to bring your own or take a tumbler. Valuables and bottled drinks can be placed in the horse's luggage pocket. Other bags can be left on the shelf in the waiting area, and there is no security for them.
場所が少しわかりにくかったけどタクシーの方にGoogleマップ見てもらって行けました。家族で行きましたが、大学生、高校生の子供達も楽しんでました。海辺をゆっくり散歩できて、とてもプライスレスな時間が過ごせていい思い出になりました。おトイレは簡易トイレしかないので済ませてきた方がいいと思います。ペットボトルのお水とソーダは数本待合室に売ってますが、割高なのでできれば持参かタンブラーを持って行った方が良いです。貴重品やペットボトルはお馬さんの荷物用ポケットに入れられます。その他のバッグは待合室の棚に置いておく感じでセキュリティ制はありません。

Wasn't quite sure what to expect when you hear you're swimming with sharks without a cage. It was a very neat experience. The sharks pretty much stay below you. The crew does a good job of explaining their behavior and what to do around them. The crew was very knowledgable and made the tour exciting. I think the only thing I would change is maybe running the line that everyone hangs onto away from the boat. I felt like at times the waves would bring me back into the boat. It would be nice to just float on the surface away from the boat. But it was still very cool, the crew lets you go out and dive down and "hang" with the sharks for a little bit. Definitely a bucket list item. Would suggest brining your own snorkel gear if you find it hard to fit rentals. Bring a GoPro too! But if you forget, they're taking video and pics of everyone the whole time! Other than that, book it and go have fun!! Well worth the time and money!!

The photo package was worth it. Ask questions, learn from the locals, tear it up.

The English was easy to understand, and it was a safe experience with a small group. The horseback riding experience in the beautiful sea of the North Shore was incredibly moving. The riding time was 1.5 hours, and it was more cost-effective than other tours with Japanese-speaking guides and transportation. We used hui car share for transportation, so after horseback riding, we were able to leisurely enjoy food walking in Haleiwa. It became a very good memory. Next time, I would like to try sunset horseback riding.

I think it's better to take excessive measures against seasickness. Even if the waves are calm when departing, once you head out to sea, the weather doesn't matter and the waves can be high, making you feel sick even in the cage.
I couldn't understand anything from the English guide, but it was manageable.
There are a huge number of sharks, and they don't attack, making the experience wonderful.
とにかく船酔い対策は過剰なくらいした方がいいと思います。

I've never really ridden a horse before so I was a bit nervous of maneuvering my horse but she was a go getter so I didn't have to try too hard. We all rode in a line which was very easy. We had to stop a few times which my horse hated, I got a very impatient horse which I don't blame her. Kinda wished we went a quicker pace but then that would shorten our trip which was 1.5hrs which .5 of that was loading and unloading the horses. I wish the trail was a bit longer. The area was beautiful and quiet which I like. I got some good pictures. We used my step daughters phone for the group pictures cause she had a better camera but when she sent me the pics they came out blurry and I don't get to see her often. Was a little disappointed but it was OK. Technical error. Overall great experience and got to feed the horses treats in the end.

This was my first time using this service. Thanks to the smart horses, I have wonderful memories of my trip to Hawaii! I enjoyed the beautiful sea and mountains of the North Shore from the back of a horse, which was even higher than I expected, in a relaxed and leisurely manner. It was the best! Thank you!
I was able to take photos with my phone while riding, and I felt reassured that there was no pressure to buy anything after the tour. At the photo point with the ocean in the background, the staff took pictures for us with our phones.
A friend of mine who has riding experience felt that just walking was a bit lacking, but I prioritized safety and had plenty of fun. All the instructions were in English, but I was able to understand most of it through gestures. For any unclear points, I confirmed with hand signals.
I don't know if it's just the relaxed atmosphere of Hawaii or if Japanese people are particularly punctual, but when I arrived with plenty of time to spare, I ended up waiting quite a while past the meeting time. Another group arrived before us, but we ended up riding first (maybe due to reservations?), which was quite frustrating.
今回初めて利用させていただきました。
賢いお馬さんのおかげで、Hawaii旅行の良い思い出となりました!
ノースショアのきれいな海と山を思った以上に高いお馬さんの背中の上から、ゆっくりのんびり堪能しました。最高でした!ありがとうございました!
乗馬しながら携帯で写真を撮ることができ、ツアー後に売りつけられることもなく安心です。海をバックにしたポイントでは、スタッフさんが私たちの携帯で写真を撮ってくれます。
乗馬経験のある友人は、歩くだけでは少し物足りなかったようですが、私は安全第一、十分楽しめました。説明はすべて英語ででしたが、だいたい動作で理解できました。不明な点は、身振り手振りで再確認しました。
ハワイ全体がのんびりなのか、日本人が律儀なのか、集合時間に余裕をもって行ったところ、集合時間を過ぎてもだいぶ待たされました。違うグループは私たちより先に到着していたのに乗馬は私たちが先で(予約の関係?)結構イライラされていました。

It exceeded my expectations. I participated in two activities, snorkeling and kayaking, in the morning and afternoon. During the bus ride, the driver provided fun explanations and conversations, making the journey enjoyable without getting bored (the driver was incredibly funny and friendly). They were busy giving us sightseeing information, pointing out things to the right and left.
However, there was one issue: at the snorkeling site, the tour description stated that "life jackets are available for free," but I was told that this was not included in the tour price. Even when I mentioned it was written on the voucher, they insisted it was different. Originally, it would have been $10, but since we came on the tour bus, they said it would be $7. There were only my husband and me as Japanese participants; the others were foreigners, and since no one else seemed to say anything, I wondered if they had booked through a different company.
A Japanese staff member was in charge and kindly said, "I'm Japanese, so please let me know if you need anything," which felt a bit strange. I was left wondering if what was written on Veltra was incorrect or if there was a communication issue... It left me feeling uncomfortable.
As for the snorkeling itself, I was able to see turtles and various fish, which was enjoyable. For lunch, I had garlic shrimp from the snorkeling side, and they were huge and delicious! However, there were many chickens running around nearby, and as someone who isn't fond of them, I couldn't fully enjoy my meal. The chickens seemed accustomed to humans and appeared from all over.
The afternoon activity was kayaking, which I had never done before, but I had a lot of fun. At a break during the morning, we stopped by a macadamia nut shop that had Kona coffee, which I couldn't find even in Waikiki. I tasted it and bought some immediately. We also briefly stopped at a place selling fresh fruit in Ziploc bags, where everyone was buying and eating papayas.
Aside from the issue with the life jackets, it was a very enjoyable tour.
期待していた以上の内容でした。
午前と午後のアクティビティ、計2つ、スノーケリングとカヤックに参加しました。
バスで移動する間もドライバーさんの楽しい説明と会話で、飽きることなく楽しめました(すごい面白くてフレンドリーなドライバーさんでした)。
右に左に忙しいくらい、観光案内してくれました。
ただひとつ、スノーケリングのところで、ツアー説明には「ライフジャケットは無料で貸し出しします」と書いてあったのに、ツアー代金にそれは含まれていない、と言われ、バウチャーに書いてあると言っても違うと言われ、本来なら10ドルのところ、ツアーバスで来てるから7ドルでOKと言われました。
日本人の参加者は私たち夫婦だけで、他は外国人で、他の人は特に何も言ってなかったので、申し込んだ会社が違うのかなと思いましたが…。
日本人の人が担当で、「私は日本人なので、何かあれば言ってください」とフレンドリーに声かけてきたのですご、なんだかね、って感じでした。
ベルトラに書かれていることが間違っていたのか、あるいは、連絡がうまく伝わっていないのか…不快な気持ちになりました。
スノーケリング自体は、タートルも見られたし魚も色々見られて楽しめました。
スノーケリングの側のガーリックシュリンプをお昼に食べましたが、すごく大きいシュリンプで美味しかったです!
ただ、そばには鶏がたくさん走り回っていて、苦手な私は食事を楽しむことはできませんでしたが。
鶏は人間に慣れているのか、あちこちから神出鬼没でした。
午後のアクティビティはカヤック、初めてでしたがとても楽しめました。
午前中途中の休憩で寄ったマカデミアナッツのお店にはワイキキで探してもなかったコナコーヒーをまぶしたのがあり、味見して、即購入しました。
途中で、ジップロックに入ったフレッシュフルーツを売ってるところにもちょっとだけ立ち寄ってくれ、みなさん、パパイヤを買って食べてました。
ライフジャケットの件を除いては、とても楽しめたツアーでした。
