ノースショア(ハレイワ)観光 ハレイワタウンで3時間の自由散策+ドールプランテーション!海辺の絶景を楽しめる乗馬付き(70分)プランあり<1日/送迎付き>

The view from horseback is amazing! 馬に乗って見る景色が最高!

Reviewed by: maa

Even as a beginner, I was able to enjoy horseback riding. The sightseeing in North Shore on the way to the location was also very enjoyable, thanks to the guide's thorough explanations and attentive service. We visited the popular garlic shrimp wagon, the beach where the honu (sea turtles) appear, the Dole Plantation, and a coffee farm—places you must see when touring North Shore. It was a quick yet enriching tour. I want to participate again with my friends next time!

初心者の私でも、楽しく乗馬できました
その場所に着くまでの間のノースショアの観光も、ガイドさんの丁寧な説明と親身な応対で、とっても楽しく観光することができました
今話題のガーリックシュリンプのワゴンへ…ホヌの現れる海岸へ…ドールプランテーションへ…コーヒーファームへ…ノースショア観光でおさえるべき場所に連れて行っていただきました
あっという間で中身の濃いツアーです
次も友達つれて参加したいです

Exciting horseback riding experience! ドキドキの乗馬体験!

Reviewed by: SAKURA

We participated as a family of five, all beginners. Our Japanese guide and driver, Masa, kept us entertained with his fun conversations and made sure we enjoyed ourselves at every stop. He casually took us to a recommended lunch spot, which was a relief in the heat, and thanks to him, we were able to enjoy our free time until the last minute. The horseback riding was at a cozy riding club run by Mark and Angel, and I was surprised that we got to ride right after a brief explanation! However, as we gradually became one with the horse, the excitement when we emerged from the dense valley into an open area was unforgettable. The only downside was that the restroom was a simple mountain toilet, which had quite an odor, but I definitely want to go back to meet the uniquely charming horses again. Thank you, Spirits!

初心者ばかりの家族5名で参加。日本語ガイド兼ドライバーのマサさんは楽しいおしゃべりで飽きさせず、行く先々で私たちを楽しませてくれました。おすすめのランチのところへも気軽に連れて行ってくれて、暑い中助かりましたし、おかげでフリータイムもぎりぎりまで楽しむことができました。乗馬はマークさんとエンジェルさんが経営するアットホームな乗馬クラブで、簡単な解説後すぐに乗ることになったのにはびっくり!でも、次第に馬と一体となり、うっそうとした渓谷から開けた場所に出た時の感動は忘れられません。唯一、トイレだけは山の簡易トイレだったのでニオイが大変でしたが、またぜひ個性豊かな馬たちに会いに行きたいと思います。スピリッツ、ありがとう!

Beach horseback riding is the best. 海辺の乗馬は最高

Reviewed by: 家族連れの父

I drove from Waikiki to the North Shore (Haleiwa) to see wild sea turtles and experienced horseback riding at Turtle Bay. It was my first time, but the horse walked calmly in the direction of the reins. Riding along the beach with the refreshing sea breeze was the best.

ワイキキから車でノースショア(ハレイワ)で野生のウミガメを鑑賞し、 タートルベイで乗馬を体験しました。初めてでしたが、おとなしく手綱の方向に歩いてくれます。さわやかな海風の中の海辺の乗馬は最高です。

乗馬体験(0.5~2時間) 2歳から参加OKの子供向けコースやサンセット、貸切ランチ付きなど選べるコースで広大な牧場を満喫!<ガンストック牧場/現地集合>

It's totally fine for beginners. 初心者でも全然大丈夫です。

Reviewed by: なにわのニセパニオロ

My wife and I rode together. There was also a family of foreigners with us, including a child around elementary school age. This course doesn't involve much running, so it's fine for beginners. They take commemorative photos with a beautiful view of the sea in the background, so a camera is a must. If you have some riding experience, you can manage even if you don't understand English. It's an easy experience to have in Hawaii, so I recommend participating if you have any interest.

嫁さんと2人で乗りました。一緒に外人さんの家族も一緒でしたが、小学生くらいの子供も参加されていました。こちらのコースはほとんど走ったりはしないので初心者でも大丈夫です。
高台の景色の良いところで海をバックに記念写真を撮ってくれるので、カメラは必須です。
何度か乗馬経験があれば英語がわからなくてもなんとかなります。
ハワイで簡単に体験できるので少しでも興味があれば参加することをお勧めします。

It's fun. 楽しいです。

Reviewed by: なにわのニセパニオロ

This is my third time, and it has become a staple whenever I come to Hawaii. They let you run quite a bit through the ranch. Although I consider myself an intermediate rider, I have only ridden about seven or eight times abroad, but they still let me ride. However, since you run in some narrow areas, I wouldn't recommend it unless you are comfortable with horseback riding. You actually have to avoid branches that might hit your head while galloping, which can be dangerous, but those who are confident can enjoy it. Helmets are self-reported, so there's no need to wear one if you don't want to (you sign a waiver and take responsibility). Initially, I rode with my wife, but she said it was scary and doesn't want to ride again.

今回で3回目になりますが、ハワイに来た時の定番になっています。
牧場の中をかなり走らせてくれます。上級者となっていますが私は海外での乗馬経験が7、8回位ですが乗らせてくれます。ただし、狭いところも結構走るので乗馬に余裕がある人でないとお勧めしません。実際に駆け足の途中で頭に当たりそうな木の枝を避けたりしないといけないので危ないですが、自信のある人だと楽しめます。
ヘルメットも自己申告制ですので無理にかぶる必要もありません。(サインして自己責任です)
実際に一番最初は嫁さんと2人で乗りましたが、怖かったのでもう乗らないと言っています。

Was the waiting time the hardest part? 一番キツかったのは待ち時間?

Reviewed by: wilson

It was my first experience. My wife waited at the condo while I participated alone. As others have mentioned, the only scary part was jumping out of the Cessna (I think it would have taken me longer to jump out if I were alone), but after that, it was exhilarating!! It was a wonderful experience. However, I spent the entire previous day preparing for it, but it was canceled due to bad weather. On this day, I went to the North Shore at 5 AM (which meant getting up at 4 AM), and although I was able to jump right away, I ended up waiting quite a bit afterwards. Since it's a dangerous sport involving nature, I suppose it's unavoidable, but it's important to approach it with plenty of time to spare.

初めての体験でした。嫁さんはコンドで待ち。僕一人で参加しました。他の人も書いている通り、怖かったのはセスナを飛び出す時だけで(自分独りだったら飛び出すのに時間がかかったと思います)、後は快感でした!!素晴らしい体験でした。ただ、僕は前日丸一日を要して挑んだのですが、天候が悪くキャンセル。この日も朝の5時から(そのため4時起き)ノースショアに行き、飛ぶのはすぐだったのですが、その後がかなり待たされました。自然相手の危険なスポーツなので仕方ないのでしょうが、時間の余裕を持って挑む必要があります。

Second Gunstock! 2度目のガンストック!

Reviewed by: ペロちゃん

I visited Gunstock again this year, continuing from last year. Of course, my purpose was to ride horses and enjoy the beautiful scenery, but my main goal was to meet Donkey. He is a very gentle and friendly donkey.

This year, I brought a bag of carrots as a souvenir, and he happily munched on them.

The staff at the ranch are all very kind, and it became a wonderful memory again this year.

I promised Donkey that I would definitely come back to see him, and I left with a heavy heart. On the way back, I stopped by Kahuku and Haleiwa, returning home completely satisfied and full.

If you plan to go, it might be difficult without a rental car, but the horses are well-trained and smart, so you can enjoy your time with peace of mind.

去年に引き続き、今年もガンストックに来ました。
目的はもちろん乗馬と見晴らしの良い景色なの
ですが、1番の目的はドンキーに会いに来ました。
すごく大人しくて人懐っこいロバなんです。

今年はお土産の人参を1袋持参して
ポリポリと美味しそうに食べてくれました。

こちらの牧場のスタッフさんもとても優しい
方ばかりで今年も素敵な思い出になりました。

また、必ず会いに来るねとドンキーに約束して
名残惜しさ満開で帰路につきました。
帰りにはカフク、ハレイワを回って
お腹いっぱいの大満足で帰りました。

行かれる時はレンタカーじゃないと
難しいかもしれませんが、
良く調教された賢いお馬さん達なので
安心して楽しめます。

I enjoyed it twice this year as well. 今年も2回も楽しみました

Reviewed by: うみぶた

Without driving myself, I enjoyed a relaxed horseback riding experience. Since this is an annual tradition, I’ve become friends with the owner. It feels refreshing. Our family trip to Hawaii revolves around this horseback riding, and it feels like summer has come to an end this year.

When we arrived at Happy Trails, we signed a waiver and then received a briefing from the staff on how to ride. Finally, we set off for the valley ride. Just when I thought the path was gentle, we encountered uphill and downhill slopes, and at the midpoint, we enjoyed a refreshing view of Haleiwa Bay. We took a commemorative photo at the end, and the horseback riding time flew by.

In Japan, small children cannot ride horses, but here, they can enjoy thrilling valley rides under parental responsibility. I was also able to use the points I earned last year.

自分で運転せず、気軽に乗馬体験、毎年のことなのでオーナーとも仲良くなれ?気分爽快です。我が家のハワイ旅行はこの乗馬がメイン、今年の夏も終わったなという感じです。
ハッピートレイルズに着くと、免責同意書にサインをして、その後スタッフから乗馬のやり方のレクチャーを受けいよいよ渓谷乗馬、なだらかな道かと思えば、登り、下りの坂道を通り中間でハレイワ湾を眺め爽快な気分になり最後に記念撮影、あっという間の乗馬時間がすぎますね。
日本では、小さい子は乗馬できないですが、ここでは、親の責任においてスリル満点な渓谷乗馬を楽しめます。
昨年のポイントもしっかりと使わせてもらいました。

I enjoyed the North Shore tour. まあ楽しめたノースショア観光

Reviewed by: ShoKei

I visited the Dole Plantation. The tour description on the website mentioned enjoying the pineapple train or maze for 90 minutes, but I believe this should be corrected as it refers to the upper section of the Dole Plantation. The North Shore was nice, but I had too much time there, which made it a bit boring. I couldn't see the sea turtles coming ashore, but it was great to see them swimming.

ドールのプランテーションに行きました。HPのツアー紹介でパイナップル列車または迷路を楽しむで90分と記載あったのですが、これは上段のドールプランテーションのことですので、記載を修正すべきだと思います。ノースショアも良かったが、時間がありすぎて、少し退屈でした。海ガメ見学も、砂浜に上がっているのは見られませんでしたが、泳いでいる姿が見れて良かったです。

North Shore Hiking Tours from Haleiwa with Expert Local Guide & Lunch

It was okay

Reviewed by: Eleanor

Our guide was very knowledgeable about history of Hawaii and some of the plants and trees we came across on the hike. I enjoyed tasting the fruits we picked along the way. He also was very accommodating and kind since it was our first time to hike in the area. Though our guide did a great job, I expected more out of the hike. Yes, the hike was challenging in the sense that we walk along the edge and on rocky terrain;however it was not scenic and it felt like the hike was too short. The swimming hole was not a swimming hole to me. It look like a little creek and the water was not clear as I expected. I also expected to see a waterfall along the way, but didn't get to see any. I had more fun hiking on our own when we went to Maui, the road to Hana, because of the scenic view on top of the great work out we got from it. In short, not memorable and it was like something was missing.

Are you a bit busy? But horseback riding is fun (the shrimp is delicious ♡) ちょっと忙しい?けど乗馬は楽しい(エビも美味しい♡)

Reviewed by: ぱいなっぷる子

It was a bit disappointing that, perhaps due to it being the peak summer season, there were many participants, which caused delays in pickup and made our subsequent schedule quite packed.

At the Dole Plantation, during our brief 15-minute stop, we managed to eat the famous pineapple ice, buy souvenirs (the shop here is really well-stocked), and use the restroom. We didn't stop in Haleiwa Town, but we took the garlic shrimp to go and ate it after arriving at "Happy Trail." It took just 10 minutes.

Overall, it was a very busy tour, but the horseback riding was fulfilling since we had 90 minutes for it. There were some steep slopes that made me a bit nervous, but as long as you trust the horse and stay calm, you'll be fine. Only the kids wore helmets, so it might be better to have a hat. We left large bags in the car and only took valuables in a special bag attached to the horse. You can take photos freely while on the horse. Since you'll have one hand free, I think it's better to use a camera with a wrist strap instead of a smartphone, as it feels risky to drop a phone.

We saw sea turtles! There were some basking in the sun and others swimming with their heads popping up.

In one tour, we experienced a lot: the sea, mountains, pineapples, horses, and sea turtles. It was a fun and packed itinerary, though the travel time felt a bit long.

夏のトップシーズンだったからか参加者が多く、ピックアップに時間がかかったことから、その後の予定がどんどん詰まってしまったのがちょっと残念でした。

ドール・プランテーションでは、立ち寄ったわずか15分の間に、評判のパイナップル・アイスを食べてお土産(ここのショップは超充実してます)を買い、トイレに行って戻るという荒技。ハレイワ・タウンには降りず、ガーリック・シュリンプはテイクアウトして「ハッピー・トレイル」に到着してから食べました。10分で。

とにかく忙し〜いツアーでしたが、乗馬は90分取ってあっただけにとても充実していました。ところどころ急坂があって、恐いかな?という場面もありましたが、馬を信頼して落ち着いて乗っていれば大丈夫です。ヘルメットはお子さんだけだったので、帽子があった方がよいかもしれません。大きな荷物は車の中で、貴重品だけ専用の袋に入れて馬に装着しました。馬の背で写真は自由に取れます。片手になりますので、スマホではなく、カメラのベルトを手首に通して持って撮るといいと思います。スマホだと落としそうで恐いです。

ウミガメ、いました!甲羅干しをしているのや、頭をプカッと出して泳いでいるのや、いろいろいましたよ。

1回のツアーで、海と山、パイナップル、馬、ウミガメと、盛りだくさんな内容で楽しいです。ちょっと移動時間が長かったかな。

I participated with my first-year middle school daughter. She has been interested in horseback riding since she was little, and although she had some experience with lead riding, this was her first time riding seriously. We were torn between the seaside course and the Haleiwa course, but since we had never been to Haleiwa, we chose the Haleiwa and Dole combo canyon plan. The Dole pineapple ice cream is incredibly delicious. The garlic shrimp in Haleiwa was also tasty! The guide explained the characteristics of the many shops, and we were able to choose which ones we wanted to visit. For the canyon horseback riding, the guide advised us on how to ride and other important points beforehand, so we were able to start without any anxiety. We were blessed with good weather, and the sunlight filtering through the trees in the quiet canyon was very magical and beautiful. After passing through the canyon, we were greeted by the stunning blue ocean of the North Shore! I recommend bringing a camera since you can take photos. There was a bag attached to the saddle that could hold a camera and a water bottle. We even got to see sea turtles, and we were very satisfied with this packed experience.

小さな頃から乗馬に興味を持っていて、引き馬の体験はあったものの本格的な乗馬は初めて。

I was a bit anxious about my first skydiving experience, but I enjoyed it without any problems. It was a little chilly when falling, but the view was amazing and it felt really good. What surprised me compared to what I imagined was that the time after the parachute opened was unexpectedly long. The instructor kindly spun us around as a service, but it was scarier than the fall itself, haha. But it was the best experience!

初めてのスカイダイビングで不安もありましたが、問題なく楽しめました。

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: うりぼう

I checked the travel time and aerial photos of the ranch on Google Maps to familiarize myself with the geography, then entered the address into the GPS of the rental car and headed there. I arrived in about an hour and a half without getting lost. I drove along the coastal road, and after entering an unpaved road marked by signs, I came to a parking area that also serves as a square on the left. On the right side of the square, there are restrooms, a handwashing area, playground equipment, and about 20 goats.

In front of the square, there is a small hut where I parked my car on the right side and handed my voucher to the person inside the hut to check in. To the left of the hut, there were about 10 horses tied up, along with free-roaming donkeys, dogs, and a rooster wandering around, which came close enough to pet while waiting for the start. I agreed to and signed the English waiver (which states that horseback riding carries risks such as falling, and the ranch is not responsible for them) and chose a helmet. The helmet has a dial at the back for size adjustment.

A man from the ranch approached me and mentioned that they take paid photos during the ride, so I signed up. It was about $40 for a set of two. I made the payment by credit card on the spot, provided my email address, and received a receipt that included a note saying, "Your photos are in the Scene C folder from 7/28. Please enter the password ◯◯ to open and download them," along with the address of the Gunstock Ranch website, where dozens of photos were uploaded later.

We were on a 90-minute course, and both my group and the other participants were families with children aged 7 to 9, totaling 8 people. Two female staff members guided us in a line at a leisurely pace. At a hill where we could see the ocean, we were able to hand over our cameras to have photos taken. After that, we returned down a small hill.

Although no Japanese was spoken, we were able to communicate with basic middle school English. The instructions for riding, turning, moving forward, and stopping were simple. The horses were calm and followed commands well, but occasionally they would stop completely, and when I was struggling, they would relieve themselves.

Also, I highly recommend wrapping a scarf around your neck, as it can get sunburned during the long ride. I couldn't help my child when they were scratching their neck from the sunburn.

After the ride, each child received a sugar cube at the hut to feed the horses, and the horses licked their palms. (There is soap and napkins available at the handwashing area.) It seemed that 90 minutes was long for the children, but it was a great experience since riding alone is not something they can do in Japan. They provided smaller horses for the kids, and there was no sense of danger.

At the end, I received a discount card for the next visit. It was a wonderful experience to leisurely stroll around the spacious ranch on horseback.

グーグルマップで所要時間と牧場の航空写真を確認して地理を頭に入れておき、レンタカーでナビに住所を入力して向かいました。1時間半位で迷うことなくたどり着けました。海岸沿いの道を進み、看板を目印に未舗装の道に入ってしばらく進むと左手に駐車場を兼ねた広場に出ます。広場の右手にはトイレ、手洗い場、遊具があり、20匹ほどのやぎ?も飼われています。
広場正面に小さな小屋がありその右手に車を止め、小屋にいる方にバウチャーを渡してチェックインしました。
小屋の左手には馬が10頭くらい繋がれていて、他に放し飼いのロバ、犬、おんどりがウロウロ、近くに来るので撫でたりして開始を待つ間に、英語表記の免責説明書(乗馬には落馬等危険が伴うこと、牧場がそれに責任を負わないこと等)に同意してサインし、ヘルメットを選びました。ヘルメットは後頭部にダイヤルがありサイズ調整できます。
牧場の男性が「有料で乗馬中の写真を撮っている」と話しかけてきたので申し込みます。二人セットで40ドル位でした。その場でクレジット決裁、メールアドレスを伝えると領収書が届き、その中に「あなたの写真は7/28のシーンCフォルダにあります。パスワード◯◯を入力して開きダウンロードしてください」と、ガンストックランチのホームページアドレスが記載されており、後日写真が数十枚アップされていました。
私達は90分コースでしたが、他の参加者も私達も7〜9才の子供がいるファミリーで総勢8名、二人の女性スタッフが前後について一列になってカポカポのんびり進みました。途中海が見える丘では自分達のカメラを渡して写真を撮ってもらえます。その後小高い丘を下って帰りました。
日本語は全く通じませんが、中学英語程度で意志疎通はできました。乗馬方法、曲がる、進む、止まる、の指示も簡単でした。馬はおとなしくよく指示に従いますが時々全く動かずゴズ困っていたら大量のおしっこをしたりうんちをしたり。
あと、長時間首筋が日に焼けるので首筋にスカーフを巻いておくことをぜひオススメします。子供が日に焼けて首を掻いていてもそばに行って助けてやれなかったので。
乗馬が終わると子供は小屋で一人ひとつ角砂糖をもらい、馬に食べさせて手のひらをペロンと舐められていました。(手洗い場に石鹸もナフキンもあります。)
子供に90分は長かったようですが、引馬でなく一人で乗る体験は日本ではできないのでよかったです。子供には小さめの馬を用意してくれたし、危険を感じることはありませんでした。
次回割引のカードを最後にもらいました。
広々とした牧場内をのんびり馬で散歩、素敵な体験でした。

ノースショア(ハレイワ)観光 ハレイワタウンで3時間の自由散策+ドールプランテーション!海辺の絶景を楽しめる乗馬付き(70分)プランあり<1日/送迎付き>

The driver was kind. ドライバーさんが親切でした

Reviewed by: あやや

I chose the free time plan because I wanted to relax in the town of Haleiwa. During the waiting time, I had the opportunity to talk with the driver and shared our action plan (wanting to eat garlic shrimp and chicken from Fumi's, and enjoy some Matsumoto's Shave Ice, as well as relax at the beach). The driver kindly offered to guide us. Since there were only two small groups exploring Haleiwa, we might have been lucky, but we stopped at the shrimp and chicken place to shop, and then he took us to the beach. With small children in tow, we were quite relieved not to have to move around on our own.

At the beach, we encountered a downpour and enjoyed shrimp and chicken in the rain, which was delicious. Within the limited time, we were able to efficiently achieve our goals, and I felt that participating in this tour was worthwhile. I thoroughly enjoyed Haleiwa.

I have one request for Veltra: while it states that the tour fee includes a tip, it would be helpful if you could specify how much the tip amount is. Since the driver was very kind, I was unsure how much to give as a tip, and knowing the included tip amount would make it easier to decide how much to give on the spot. I'm not very familiar with tipping customs.

ハレイワの街でゆっくりしたかったので、フリータイムプランを選びました。
待ち時間にドライバーさんと話す機会があったので、自分達の行動プラン(フリフリチキンとガーリックシュリンプ、マツモトシェイブアイスを食べたいこと、ビーチでゆっくり過ごしたいこと)を伝えると、案内してくださるとのこと。(ハレイワの街を散策するグループは2組で少人数だったので、運がよかったのかもしれませんが、)シュリンプ・チキンのお店で車を止めて頂き買い物し、その後、ビーチまで連れて行ってくださいました。小さな子供連れでしたので、自分達の足での移動が不安だったので、大変助かりました。
ビーチではスコールに遭遇し、雨の中、シュリンプやチキンを頂きましたが美味しかったです。
限られた時間の中で、効率的に目的を果たすことができて、このツアーに参加して得をした気持ちになりました。ハレイワを満喫できました。

Veltraさんに1点お願いがありまして、ツアー代金にチップを含むとありますが、チップ代がいくらなのかを明記して頂けると、わかりやすく助かります。ドライバーさんに親切にして頂いたので、チップをいくら渡すべきか悩み、ツアー代に含まれるチップ代がいくらかがわかると、その場で渡すチップの額を考えやすいと思いました。チップの習慣に不慣れですので。

This year, I'm feeling great with canyon horseback riding! 今年も渓谷乗馬でるんるん気分

Reviewed by: うみぶた

Last year, I went horseback riding in the canyon with my grandchild, and we did it twice during our stay this year as well. You might wonder why we went twice in two days, but that's how enjoyable it is. If you have the time, leisure, and budget, it's definitely worth trying. I've experienced other horseback riding activities, but so far, this is my favorite.

The owner, Mr. ○○, is friendly and provides thorough instructions on how to ride and control the horse. The course includes ups and downs and runs through wooded areas without a lead rope, and before you know it, the horseback riding time is over while enjoying views of Haleiwa Bay below.

If I can go to Hawaii again next year, I will likely go horseback riding again. I want to share more of my experiences, but seeing is believing, and everyone has different senses and ways to enjoy things, so I can't say much more. However, I definitely encourage you to try it!

 昨年に続き今年も孫と一緒に渓谷乗馬を行いました。それも、滞在中2回も。
 何で2回、二日間もと思われるかもしれませんが、それが楽しいんです、時間と暇と予算があれば、やってみる価値がありますね、他の乗馬体験もしましたが、今のところ、ここが一番気に入っています。
 オーナーの○○さんも、気さくで乗馬のやり方、馬の操縦方法を丁寧にレクチャーしてくれます。
 コースもアップダウンや木立の中を引き綱無しで走行し、途中ハレイワの湾を眼下に見てあっという間の乗馬時間でした。
 おそらく、来年ハワイに行ければ、また乗馬をするでしょう。
 もっと体験したことを書きたいのですが、百聞は一見にしかず、人それぞれに感覚、楽しみ方が違うので、何ともいえませんが、是非体験してみてください。

It was supposed to include the tip, but... チップ込のはずでしたが・・・

Reviewed by: まりも

I wanted to go horseback riding, so I looked for a plan that included transportation. Since I had been to Kualoa before, I decided to join this tour where we could visit various sightseeing spots and also go horseback riding.

Honestly, as an experienced rider, I found the horseback riding a bit lacking, and my husband, who has almost no experience, felt that he was just being carried by the horse and didn't find it enjoyable. (I don't expect a beginner to be able to control a horse.) However, the scenery was very beautiful.

One downside was that although it was supposed to include tips, there was a sign in the waiting room for horseback riding in Japanese stating that tips were not included in the tour. There were also two Americans participating separately who paid tips, and we ended up paying separately from the tour fee as well.

Additionally, for lunch, the guide ordered garlic shrimp for us to take out, but we had already paid in advance, so we couldn't use our coupon, and we didn't receive any change. The guide wasn't a bad person, but... it was disappointing.

とりあえず乗馬がしたい。という目的で送迎付のプランで探したところ、クアロアには前回行ったので、いろいろ観光地を回れて乗馬もできるこちらのツアーに参加させていただきました。
正直、乗馬は経験者の私には物足りなく、経験がゼロに等しい主人も馬が乗せてくれてる感が強く、おもしろさはなかったとのことでした。(素人が馬を制御できるとは思いませんが)。ただ、景色はとてもよかったです。ただ、チップ込のはずが、乗馬に待合室には日本語でツアーにはチップが含まれていません~という張り紙がしてあり、私たちのほかに別口でアメリカ人の二人組が参加していてチップを払っていて、私たちもツアー料金と別で払いました。
また、昼食にガーリックシュリンプをテイクアウトでガイドさんが注文しておいてくれたのですが、支払いも先に済ませてしまっていて、クーポン券が使用できなかった上、お釣りももらえませんでした。
ガイドさんは悪い人ではなかったのですが・・・。残念です。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
However, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding the tip and lunch.

I have shared your experience with the tour provider. The tips for the activities you participated in are included in the fee, but since the horseback riding venue is operated by a different company, tips are optional. I apologize for the lack of information provided to you.

Regarding lunch, if you have a coupon, please let the driver know when they explain lunch, and we will accommodate you. I also sincerely apologize for the issue with the change. I would like to process a refund, so I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

Based on your valuable feedback, we will strive to improve our services in the future. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us.

This time, only my husband flew. He was really moved by the wonderful experience. The tip for the person flying with you is $20. There were various opinions about this, but personally, I believe that the person flying with you is someone you entrust your life to. It’s only natural to pay, and it is definitely worth it. I hope everyone will pay it.

今回夫だけが、飛びました。本当に素晴らしい体験が出来たと感動していました。一緒に飛んでくれる人へのチップが20ドル。これに対して色んな意見がありましたが、私的には共に飛んでくれる人。命を預ける人です。支払って当然だし、またその価値が十分あります。ぜひに皆払って欲しいです。

The service is the worst. サービスは最低

Reviewed by: えのモン

The plan started at 9 AM. We gathered before 6 AM, and everything was finished around 9:30 AM. However, we were left waiting, and we could board the return shuttle only at 12:30 PM, nearly three hours later. There’s nothing around the airport, so we just had to wait idly. It might be fine for those with a flexible schedule, but it’s not suitable for regular tourists. In the end, we ended up returning with a team that arrived before noon, and I don’t understand why we had to wake up early. If possible, it would be better to come by rental car instead of relying on the pickup.

Also, it says that if you don’t reach 14,000 ft, it’s free, but that’s a lie. They use the weather as an excuse (which may be true), and you are made to jump from 8,000 ft, receiving only the difference in price from the 8,000 ft plan as a refund. There’s nothing mentioned about this on the official website of the operating company. Anyway, it’s fine for those who don’t care about the height as long as they can jump, but it’s better not to overtrust the "absolute guarantee" claims.

朝9時スタートのプランでした。6時前に集合し、すべて終了したのは9時半頃。
しかし、それから放置され、帰りのシャトルに乗れたのは3時間近くたった12時30分。空港の周りは何もないのでひたすらボーッと待つだけです。スケジュールに余裕のある人ならいいですが、普通の観光客には不向きです。結局、昼前に着いたチームと一緒に帰ることになり、早く起きた理由がわかりません。可能なら、ピックアップではなくレンタカーで自ら来た方が良いです。
また、高度14000ftに達しなかったら無料と書いてありますが嘘です。天候の理由にして(実際そうかもしれませんが)8000ftからジャンプさせられ、8000ftプランとの差額しか返金しません。催行会社の公式Webにも、そのようなことは一切書いてありません。とにかく、高さは気にしないから飛べればいい、という人はいいですが、「絶対保証」の謳い文句を過信しない方が良いです。

North Shore, a rural town in Hawaii! ハワイの田舎街ノースショア!

Reviewed by: ホヌホヌ

We booked a North Shore free plan for just the two of us. While waiting at the meeting point near the Hilton Hawaiian Village where we were staying, a high-energy guy showed up in the morning. He immediately started cracking jokes typical of Japanese uncles, and since we had just participated in a tour where no Japanese was spoken until the day before, we were relieved to find that we could communicate easily in Japanese.

After picking up guests from other hotels, we set off for the North Shore with a total of about ten people! Throughout the ride, he kept up a machine-gun style of talking (laughs). He shared various things, from the latest trends in Waikiki to the sad history of Hawaii. Apparently, he had been an announcer until recently, so talking was his job. That made sense (laughs).

When he asked if we wanted to take a picture of that famous tree, which costs $3, we took a vote in the car and unanimously decided to pass, saying we weren't interested enough to pay $3. It was very nice that he not only followed the usual route but also listened to our preferences.

Upon arriving at the Dole Plantation, we lined up a bit to buy the classic soft serve. The pineapple flavor was rich and delicious! He also informed us that while there are several shrimp trucks, the ones here are not good, so we ended up going to the famous Macky's. It was incredibly tasty! Sparrows and colorful birds were friendly, and everyone was feeding them rice grains, creating a warm atmosphere.

Since there were also groups for the maze plan and horseback riding, we split off from them. We were on the free plan, so we were dropped off in the town of North Shore where Japanese wasn't spoken (laughs). Feeling a bit anxious, we enjoyed shopping at retro surf shops and other places. The rural side of Hawaii is lovely, quite different from the urban Waikiki.

We had to give up on Matsumoto Shave Ice due to the long line and lack of time. When I asked a kind lady how to get to a recommended beach in my broken English, she advised me, "The nearby beach is next to the harbor, so it's dirty. The beautiful Sunset Beach is a tough distance to walk to."

I regretted not having driven there, but it couldn't be helped. We waited for our cheerful driver and headed to the next destination, a beach where we could see sea turtles. We encountered two sea turtles. Our driver had warned us to stay quiet and not to get too close to avoid stressing them out, so we quietly took pictures with zoom. However, a Chinese tourist stood right in front of a turtle's face, and despite the sand getting on the turtle due to the unstable sand on the beach, they were loudly taking pictures, which was quite upsetting.

It seems that Chinese tourists are the same everywhere, and I find them difficult to deal with. Hawaii is focused on protecting endangered animals like sea turtles, and apparently, there’s a fine for getting closer than two meters. If they feel stressed, they won’t come back to bask on the beach, so those going in the future should be careful not to get too close.

After a fulfilling North Shore tour, the machine-gun talk continued on the way back to Waikiki, and I fell into a deep sleep with that as my lullaby. At first, I thought the free plan was a bit pricey at over $50, but considering the distance we would have had to travel by bus or car, I’m glad we chose the tour. The driver’s stories were sometimes tough to listen to, especially when he was bragging about his daughter, but otherwise, I learned a lot of interesting things and about Hawaii's history. Most importantly, he was friendly and approachable, which was great.

If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to visit the North Shore once more. It was a wonderful, nostalgic town that really made me feel good.

夫婦ふたりでノースショアフリープランを予約しました。
宿泊しているヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ近くの集合場所で待っていると、朝からハイテンションなおじさんが登場。思いっきり日本のおじさん的なギャグを連発され、前日まで日本語が通じないツアーに参加していた私達はクラッとすると共に日本語が余裕で通じることに安堵。
他のホテルでもピックアップして、総勢10名程でノースショアへ向け出発!その間ずーっとマシンガントーク(笑)
最近のワイキキでの流行りからハワイの悲しい歴史まで様々なことを教えてくれる。最近までアナウンサーをしていて喋るのが仕事だったらしい。なるほど(笑)
この木なんの木は、撮るのに3$かかるけどどうする?と聞かれ車内で多数決の結果、全会一致で『3$払うほどは興味ないのでパス』となりスルー。こういうふうに、マニュアル通りのルートにただ連れて行ってくれるだけではなく希望をきいてくれるのは非常にありがたかった。
ドールプランテーションに到着し、定番のソフトクリームを少し並んで購入。パイナップルの味が濃くて美味しい!
『シュリンプ屋のバンもいくつかあるけど、ここは不味いよ』とか教えてくれて結局有名なマッキーズへ。
最高に美味しかった!スズメやカラフルな鳥たちも人馴れしていて、みんな米粒を与えたり仲良くしていて和む。
迷路プランや乗馬プランのグループも一緒だったので、途中から別行動。私達はフリープランだったので日本語の通じないノースショアの街に放りだされ(笑)、不安になりつつもレトロな街のサーフショップ等で買い物を楽しむ。
都会なワイキキとはまた違う田舎なハワイもまた素敵だ。
マツモトシェイブアイスは噂通り行列のため時間がなく諦める。
つたない英語でおすすめのビーチへの行き方を尋ねると、『近くのビーチは港と隣接しているから汚い、綺麗なサンセットビーチは歩いて行くのはキツい距離だ』
と親切な婦人にアドバイスされる。
車でくれば良かったか…と後悔したが、仕方ない。陽気なドライバーさんを待ち、皆で次の目的地、ウミガメに会えるというビーチへ向かう。
2匹のウミガメに会えた。
私達はドライバーさんに『ウミガメがいても、ストレスになるので騒いだり近寄ったりしないこと』と注意を受けていたので静かにズームで写真を撮るなか、中国人ツアー客がウミガメの顔面の前ギリギリに立ち、砂浜でバランスが悪いためウミガメの顔に砂がかかっていても気にせずギャーギャーと写真撮影をしていて気分を害す。
やはり中国人観光客はどこにいても同じで苦手だ。
ハワイではウミガメなどの絶滅危惧動物の保護に力を入れていて、2メートル以上近づくと罰金らしい。
ストレスかかるともうその浜には甲羅干ししに寄らなくなってしまうそうなので、これから行く方は近寄り過ぎないよう注意したほうがよさそう。
充実したノースショア観光を終えワイキキへ戻る車中でも、マシンガントークはとどまるところを知らず、それを子守歌代わりに深い眠りへ。
最初はフリープランで50$以上は高いかなぁと思っていたが、やはり行き帰りの距離を自力でバスや車で行くことを考えるとツアーにして良かったと思う。ドライバーさんのトークも、娘の自慢話が続いたときは興味がなく辛かったが、それ以外ではへぇ~知らなかった!と思うことやハワイの歴史も知れたし、何より気さくな方で親しみやすくて良かった。
またハワイにいくことがあれば、ノースショアにはもう一度いきたいなぁ。
ノスタルジックな気分に浸れる、素敵な素敵な街でした。
