All Reviews for Outdoor Adventures

This was well worth it!! The staff is excellent from the time you check in to the 3 guides that are with you zip lining to check out if you decide to get the pictures! We were with a great group of people and that made it more fun as you can get to know everyone in your group as it takes about 3 hrs to complete and there is time between each zip line. This was the best thing we did of all the activities myself and 2 kids (ages 15 and 18) did for the 6 days we were here! Highly recommend doing this if you want to zip line. Another thing that is regally nice is if you are staying in Waikīkī you get to drive to the other side of the island and if you have a rental car you get to see other parts of the island that are not full of tourist.

Every time I visit Northshore, it's always lively, but this time it was particularly vibrant. There were more Americans than Japanese, which was overwhelming. There are plenty of restrooms in the Haleiwa area, which is reassuring. I wished we could have driven to Turtle Bay... it's a bit of a regret. I found a limited edition Patagonia shirt with a Haleiwa logo and ended up buying a lot. The driver was kind, skilled at driving, and a great person. I would like to request them again. Highly recommended!

毎回、Northshoreは訪れるのですが、今回はとても活気がありました。日本人よりアメリカ人ばかりで
圧倒されました。お手洗いもハレイワエリアには
沢山あって、安心です。
タートルベイまで車で行って欲しかったのが…
ココロ残りですが。
ハレイワ限定のロゴのPatagoniaシャツがあり
爆買いしました。
ドライバーさんも優しく、運転もお上手で良い方でした。また、お願いしたいです。おススメです。

In the morning, they came to pick us up at the Hyatt Regency where we were staying in Waikiki. With transportation included to Haleiwa, we enjoyed a scenic flight in a Cessna, skydiving at our destination, and then paragliding after experiencing free fall—each was a wonderful experience! Considering all this, the cost performance was excellent, and I truly felt the roundness of the Earth. I personally handed a tip to the person who flew with us as a token of gratitude. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the life-risking job. I decided to travel to Hawaii because I wanted to skydive, and I will definitely come back again while I still have no age restrictions.

ワイキキに滞在中のハイアットリージェンシーまで朝、迎えにきてくださいました。ハレイワまでの送迎付きで、セスナでの遊覧飛行、目的のスカイダイビング、フリーフォール状態を満喫の後のパラセイリングでの空中遊泳、どれもこれも素敵な体験！
と考えるとコストパフォーマンスはばっちり地球が丸いと体感しました。
チップは一緒に飛んでくれた方に感謝を込めて直接お渡ししました。命掛けのお仕事に心より『ありがとう』。　スカイダイビングをしたくてハワイ旅行を決めましたが、年齢制限が自由なうちにまたリピします。

I loved it, if you don't mind getting alittle dirty and riding an ATV around a beautiful farm along the ocean! I could have stayed there all day playing on those ATVs honestly, our guide Micky was laid back and cool, it was good vibes all around. The only thing I wished was to be able to do some donuts in the mud highly recommend!

Skydiving was my husband's dream. As someone who is not fond of heights, I initially had no intention of participating. However, I thought that if I didn't jump with my husband, I probably would never jump alone in my life, so after much hesitation, I signed up. If you have even a slight interest, I highly recommend giving it a try.

I chose a package that included video and photos, but the content varies depending on the cameraman. My husband's cameraman and instructor were fantastic, and the photos and videos turned out really well.

It's better to have some English skills, but you can manage with gestures (my husband can speak a little, but my level is below that of a modern elementary school student). They don't provide insurance, so I made sure to get skydiving insurance before leaving Japan, just in case.

夫の夢だったスカイダイビング
高いところが苦手な私は当初参加するつもりは全くありませんでした
でも夫と一緒に飛ばなければ多分一生ひとりでは飛ばないな、と思い散々迷った結果、申し込みました
少しでも興味があるなら是非飛んでみて下さい
ビデオ、写真付きプランにしましたが
ついてくれるカメラマンにより内容が異なり、夫のカメラマン、インストラクターの方が素晴らしく、写真、ビデオの内容も大変良かったです

英語は出来た方が良いですが、ジェスチャーでなんとかなります（夫は多少話せますが私は今時の小学生以下レベルです）
保険は取り扱いないので、念の為日本出国前にスカイダイビング対応の保険をかけていきました

I recently went Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours / Standard Daytime Horseback Rides and unfortunately, it was not well organized. The whole experience seemed uncoordinated, and the pictures taken were unusable due to the way we were positioned.

I gave them 3 stars mainly because the two ladies we interacted with were nice enough, and the horses were well-behaved. However, the walk itself was not very scenic, and overall, it was a disappointing experience. I wouldn't do it again.

The weather was bad with heavy rain, but miraculously, there was a brief break in the clouds during our horseback riding, allowing us to enjoy a ride by the seaside. The course was flat and safe for beginners, with a view of the ocean. I believe we could have enjoyed beautiful scenery if the weather had been nice. We had the classic garlic shrimp from North Shore Tourism in the light rain.

天候が悪く豪雨が続いていましたが、乗馬の時だけ奇跡的に少し晴れ間が見えて楽しく海辺乗馬が出来ました。コースは海の望みながら平坦で初心者でも安心なコースです。天気が良ければ美しいん景色を堪能できたと思います。ノースシュア観光では定番のガーリックシュリンプを小雨の中食べました。

Everyone was super cool made a nice relaxed time up to the jump. The jump was incredible! One of the coolest experiences ever!!! Instructors/guides? we're awesome very laid back explained everything and took awesome pics!

My first horseback riding experience in Hawaii at Gunstock Ranch became a wonderful memory! The instructors were kind and attentive. (I can't speak English, but I managed just fine!) The horses were gentle and smart, making it easy for beginners like me to ride comfortably. You can feel the richness of the animals living freely on the vast land.

Riding the horses while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery of Hawaii was a fantastic activity!

It took just under two hours to get to Gunstock Ranch by the Bus, but the changing scenery made the time fly by. I’ve decided that the next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely go horseback riding at Gunstock Ranch again!

ハワイで初めての乗馬体験がガンストックランチでとてもいい思い出になりました！
インストラクターの方達も優しく丁寧に対応してくださいます。(私は英語ができませんが、なんとかなりました！)
お馬さんたちも穏やかで、賢くて乗馬初心者でも安心して乗ることができました。広大な土地にのびのびと生活する動物たちの豊かさを感じれます。
お馬さんに乗ってハワイの大自然の景色を堪能できるとても良いアクティビティでした！

ガンストックランチまでは、the Busで2時間弱でしたが移り変わる景色であっという間でした。
また、ハワイに行った際にはガンストックランチで乗馬をすると決めました！

It was a very simple explanation, but I could understand it in English. I enjoyed it so much that I couldn't help but laugh every time I rewatched the video.

とてもシンプルな説明でしたが、英語でも理解できます。ビデオを何度見返しても笑えてしまうぐらい楽しかったです。

I booked a shuttle service. Excitedly, I went to the meeting point, but the shuttle didn’t arrive even when the time came. I thought there might be traffic, but I couldn’t get through on the phone, and feeling sad, I returned to the hotel and called again, only to be told that my reservation hadn’t gone through and was scheduled for another day. I was stunned, and I had to quickly come up with other plans for that day, but to be honest, my schedule was disrupted. Since it was rescheduled for another day, my plans for that day changed as well. When I went on the scheduled day, the shuttle didn’t arrive again at the appointed time, and I was astonished. When I called, they hurriedly came after a while. I was exhausted from the morning. They were speaking English fluently, but there wasn’t even a single word of apology.

送迎付きを申し込みました。ウキウキしながら、
待ち合わせの場所にいきました。が時間になっても送迎が来ませんでした。
渋滞しているのかと思いながら、電話も通じなく、悲しくホテルに戻って電話をしなおしたら、予約が取れていなくて、他の日になっていると言われました．(全部英語)
唖然として、その1日は急遽他の事をしましたが、はっきり言って、スケジュールが崩れました。
他の日になってしまった為にその日もスケジュールが変わりました．
又、予定日に行ったら、また予定の時間になっても来なくて、あきれて、電話したらしばらくして慌てて来ました．朝からめちゃくちゃつかれました。英語でベラベラ話してましたが、すいませんの一言もなかったです。

I had the greatest time at Gunstock Ranch!
I would heartily recommend this activity.
Everyone, from the check-in, to the trail ride staff, and visiting the animals after the ride were amazing.
As a very novice rider, I was well instructed and had a great ride.

Our tour guide Keoki (George) was amazing. He took us throughout the land and showed us all around the area. We didn't know what to expect when we went on this tour and this tour blew our minds. We rode for hours and the scenery was amazing. Keoki went above and beyond and took pictures and videos for us. We learned about the history, plantation and so much more. I love the fact that it's a private tour and only a few people were on the tour.
It made it so much more personal. Thank you Keoki! Looking forward to doing this tour again when we come back to visit.

Fantastic afternoon. Well organised, super friendly and had alot if patience with my 10 year old as it was his first time on a ATV. Tracks are well designed. Highly recommend also a bonus we got some good insight to local knowledge and information on the island.

This was the best vehicle experience I've had in Hawaii!
First of all, driving the 4WD was really fun!
There were various types of terrain, and we drove on slippery surfaces and off-road paths, which is quite an experience that you can't easily have in Japan!
Moreover, the stunning nature and the lively narration by our guide Kioki (I think his American name was Johnny) made the history of Hawaii come alive, and his precise driving support truly enhanced the experience!
Having lived in America for about 10 years, I didn't have any language barriers, but if you don't understand English, you might miss out on about 30% of the fun. Still, I think it's a tour worth participating in!
Also, be prepared to get covered in mud and dust! (laughs)

今までのハワイの乗り物体験で最高でした！
まずは、四駆のDriveは本当に面白い！
色々な路面があり、スリッピーな路面や道なき道も走って、なかなか日本ではできない体験！
そして、豪快な自然となんといっても案内人のキオキ(アメリカ名ジョニーだったかな)さんの軽快な語りでハワイの歴史や的確なドライビングのサポートで本当に楽しまさせていただきました！
　私はアメリカにも10年ほど住んでいたので、言葉の面で不便はありませんが、もし　英語がわからないと楽しさは30%減かもしれませんがそれでも参加すべきツアーだと思いました！
　あと泥水や土ほこりをしっかりかぶりますので覚悟しておいてください(笑)

Weather was ideal for gliding, some clouds but above where we were flying.

Aerobatic exercises are exciting and one is able to experience some G-forces plus weightlessness during the loops. A most enjoyable flight from take off to landing. Would do it again if the opportunity presented itself.

The weather was great, and we were able to enjoy ourselves! The staff was cheerful and really got everyone excited. However, there was one area that we couldn't do, and since there were first-timers, it was a bit disappointing that there wasn't the latest explanation provided.

天気にも恵まれて楽しむことが出来ました！
スタッフも明るく盛り上げてくれました。
1箇所出来ないところがあったこと、初めてやる人がいたのですが最新の説明が無かったのが少し残念でした。

AMAZING experience!!!! AMAZING crews!!! THANK YOU!!!

From start to finish the crew is extremely helpful, and fun! This is the best zip line experience I have ever had, definitely book this for your trip!

Upon arrival, you will check in and complete the participation procedures using a tablet. Of course, everything is in English. There is no one to help you; you are left to manage on your own. This is to be expected since it's not Japan, and no one is to blame.

You will need to input various details such as your address, phone number, and emergency contact. After managing to complete the input and paying the fuel surcharge, you will be asked about the option to purchase video and photos. This is quite inexpensive if paid on-site. You can also purchase it after the experience, and you will receive an email. If you don't buy it, you will receive several reminders (laughs).

It is recommended to buy only the video on-site. Since it is filmed with just one GoPro, the photos are likely just stills taken from the video, and the resolution is quite low. I think it would be better to edit the video yourself.

As for the skydiving experience, it is not scary at all; perhaps it's because you are so high up that you don't feel the ground. You can enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace.

When the parachute opens, it seems to circle several times in preparation for landing. I have never experienced motion sickness, but this made me feel quite nauseous. I felt like I wanted to get down quickly because it was so uncomfortable. I definitely recommend taking anti-nausea medication.

However, even after taking the medication, I would want to participate again (laughs).

現地に到着するとタブレットで搭乗、参加の手続きをします。もちろん全て英語です。誰も助けてくれる人はいません。放置です。もちろん誰が悪いわけではありません。日本ではないので当然です。
住所や電話番号、緊急連絡先など色々な入力が必要です。なんとか入力を終え燃油サーチャージ代を支払うとビデオ写真の撮影オプションを聞かれます。こちらは現地で支払うとかなり安いです。終わった後からでも購入できます。メールがきます。購入しないと何回か案内がきます(笑)
こちらはビデオだけ現地で買うのがおすすめです。GoPro1台での撮影の為、写真は動画の切り抜きと思われます。かなり解像度が低いです。動画を自分で切り取ったらいいと思います。
肝心のスカイダイビングですが何一つ怖くないです高すぎて地面を感じないせいでしょうか。ゆっくり落ち着いて景色を楽しめます。
パラシュートが開くと着地に備えてなのか何度も旋回そます。乗り物酔いとかした事ないですがかなり酔います。はやく降りてほしいと思うぐらい気持ち悪いです。酔い止め薬絶対飲むことおすすめします。
ただ酔い止め飲んでもう1回参加したいですwww

We had a great time. Although we couldn't speak any English at all, we were able to communicate without any problems thanks to body language and the clear, slow words used! We definitely want to go again next time.

とっても楽しかったです。
英語は全く喋れない私達でしたが、ボディーランゲージとゆっくり単語をわかりやすく言ってくれて問題なくできました‼️
次もまた絶対行きたいです

I signed up for a horseback riding experience.

The horses were adorable, the scenery was beautiful, and it was so much fun!!

The horses were very smart and gentle, so I felt no anxiety while riding.

I was told their names, so I tried calling them out a lot ^_^

We took photos with the ocean in the background, which became great memories.

Also, the driver who accompanied us on the tour shared a lot of knowledge about Hawaii while we were in the car, which was really educational.

He talked about the Hawaiian language, Hawaiian plants, recent tourism trends in Hawaii, and the labor shortage, among other things. It was interesting since I don't often have the opportunity to learn about these topics.

For lunch, I wanted to go to Giovanni's for garlic shrimp, but I was taken to a different restaurant. I was a bit disappointed because I wanted to try Giovanni's. Since the horseback riding took a bit longer, we had less time to eat and had to rush.

I think we only had about 30 minutes to explore Haleiwa Town.

However, I was very satisfied with the day because the horseback riding was so enjoyable.

乗馬体験がしたくて申し込みました。

馬が可愛くて、景色も良くて、とーっても楽しかったです！！

馬はとても賢くおとなしく、
乗っていても不安はなかったです。

名前を教えてもらったので、たくさん呼びかけてみました^_^

海を背景に写真も撮ってくれていい思い出となりました。

またツアーについてくれたドライバーさんが、
車の中でハワイの知識を沢山教えてくれてすごく勉強になりました。

ハワイ語についてや、ハワイの植物、最近のハワイ観光事情や、人手不足のことなど、、
なかなか知る機会がないので面白かったです。

お昼に食べたガーリックシュリンプはジョバンニに行きたかったのですが違うお店に連れてってもらいました。ジョバンニを食べてみたかったのでちょっと残念。乗馬も少し時間がおしたせいか、食べる時間が少なく大急ぎで食べました。

ハレイワタウン散策も３０分くらいしかなかったと思います。

ただ乗馬がとても楽しかったので満足な1日でした。

I signed up for the session on Sunday at 9:00 AM (meeting at 8:30 AM).

【About Transportation】
- Since it was mentioned in the introduction that it takes 90 minutes from Waikiki, I caught an Uber after 7:00 AM, but it seems that Sunday mornings are less busy, and I arrived in just an hour.
- There was no one at the check-in location, and the Uber driver, seeing a sign that said "If no one is here, please call this number," kindly made a call, but the staff did not arrive immediately and showed up only after the meeting time. From this, I think it’s not necessary to arrive before the meeting time, just like in Japan, although it may depend on the day and circumstances.

【About the Experience】
- It was interesting to enjoy both mountain and ocean views. At the end of the horseback riding, they took a few pictures with my phone. I appreciated being able to feed the horses and interact with them after the experience.
- However, the horseback riding itself was only about an hour, and including explanations, it lasted 1.5 hours. I chose this experience thinking it would be 1.5 hours of riding, so that was a bit disappointing.
- On this day, everyone except me was a native speaker, and all explanations were in English. During the horseback riding experience, we enjoyed conversations in groups centered around the instructor.

【Other Notes】
- It might be good to wear long sleeves in the morning as it can be cold on the mountain side.
- A hat is not necessary, but I think sunglasses would be helpful as it can be bright.
- If you are uncomfortable touching the reins with bare hands, it might be a good idea to bring work gloves.
- Tips were given in a box.
- After horseback riding, I took an Uber to Haleiwa, enjoyed some food and shopping, and then returned home by The Bus. For those who are not driving, I recommend taking an Uber for the outgoing trip, which is more predictable, and then using The Bus for the return trip to save a bit.

日曜日9時（8:30集合）の回を申し込みました。

【移動について】
・紹介文などにワイキキから90分かかると記載されていたため7時過ぎにUberを捕まえて向かいましたが、日曜朝は空いているのか1時間で着きました。
・チェックイン場所に誰一人おらず、「誰もいなければここに電話するように」と書かれた看板を見たUberの運転手さんが心配に思ったのか、電話をかけてくださいましたが、スタッフはすぐ来ることはなく、集合時間になってから来られました。
これらから、もちろん曜日やその時の状況によるとは思いますが、日本と同じように集合時間前に着くようにくる必要はないです。

【体験について】
・山と海の景色両方を楽しめるのは面白かったです。乗馬終盤には、自分の携帯で写真を数枚撮ってくれます。体験後に餌付けをさせてもらい、馬と触れ合えたのがよかったです。
・ただ、乗馬体験自体は1時間程度で、説明なども含めて1.5時間でした。当方は乗馬が1.5時間できるものだと思いこちらの体験を選んだので、それだけは残念でした。
・この日は当方以外は全員ネイティブで、説明も全て英語でした。乗馬体験中もインストラクターを中心に、グループごとでの会話を楽しみました。

【その他】
・山側が朝は寒いので長袖でも良いかもしれません。
・帽子は不要ですが、眩しいのでサングラスはあったほうが良いと思います。
・手綱を素手で触るのに抵抗がある方は、軍手を持っていってもいいかもしれません。
・チップはボックスに入れる形式でした。
・乗馬後はUberでハレイワまで向かい、食事やショッピングを楽しんだ後The Busで帰宅しました。運転をしない方は、行きは時間の読めるUberで行き、帰りはThe Busで行くと少し節約になるのでオススメです。

Had a great time. The lady was so kind to me and concerned when I feel off the Atv. I'm okay and I will absolutely do it again at your establishment. it was so informative about the history of the island, and it is a beautiful place. Thank you for showing me and my group and nice experience.

Amazing ATV tour!!! This is the best experience you can have on an ATV!!! The guides are super friendly and make it an awesome experience!!! You have to go if you are on Oahu!!!

There were no Japanese participants on this tour, but the instructor was very kind and made me feel at ease! The view from 6,000 feet above ground was breathtaking! From there, with a countdown of 3, 2, 1, we experienced a free fall for about 20 seconds. I briefly thought, "Oh, this is going to be dangerous," but after about 10 seconds, I got used to the free fall and did the "ebi-zori" position (the posture for free fall is like a shrimp). I truly had a valuable experience and felt it was worth it! However, I wouldn't recommend it for those with a fear of heights or who are not fond of roller coasters! (laughs)

今回のツアーに日本人はいませんでしたが、インストラクターの方が優しか教えて下さり安心することができました！
地上6000フィートの景色は圧巻の一言！
そこから3.2.1の掛け声と共にフリーフォール20秒ほど、『あ、これは◯んでしまうな』と一瞬思いましたが10秒ほどでフリーフォールにも慣れ〝エビゾリ〟しました！(フリーフォールの姿勢は海老反り)
本当に貴重な体験をすることができ、やって良かったなと思いました！
但し、高所恐怖症、ジェットコースターが苦手な人にはおすすめしません！笑

We participated as a family of five. The staff were all very kind, and we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. The view from the top of the mountain was also amazing.

However, on that day, there were strong winds and sudden rain, making it extremely cold at times. If you're participating at the end of February when the weather looks bad, I definitely recommend bringing long pants and a light jacket. They start sliding down regardless of a little rain (laughs) (sweat).

家族５人で参加しました。
スタッフもみな親切で、安心して楽しめました。
山の上から見る景色も最高でした。

ただこの日は強風と突然の雨で途中めちゃくちゃ寒かったです。
２月末の参加で天気が悪そうなときは、必ず長ズボンと、薄手の羽織を持参することをお勧めします。
多少の雨でも構わず滑り始めるので（笑）（汗）

This activity was great our guide was knowledgeable in all things from the horses themselves to the whales and turtles in the ocean! The horses were well mannered and well kept! And the ride was just long enough. We rode on and close to the beach with clear views of the ocean, whales breaching and turtles popping up! Our guide even did a photo shoot for us!

This place was amazing we had so much fun. Thank you Mickey for awesome time. I would recommend going I would definitely got back again and again

The ATV tour at North Shore Stables was so much fun. If you like getting off of the beaten path and experiencing a local spot to relax and have fun the make sure to book a tour here. The guides were excellent, friendly and I felt like they appreciated us being there. They gave us a little bit of history about the area we were in and what they are doing with the land. This was unexpected and added a bit of a personal touch to the tour. I thought 45 mins was going to be too short but at the end I realized it was perfect. Enough time to have fun, but not boring or grueling by the time we got back. All in all I would recommend this to anyone who likes to get out and see more of the local scene when in Oahu.
