四輪バギー体験(2時間半) 泥だらけになって楽しむ約32㎞のプライベートトレイル ノースショアの大自然を望むビュースポット立ち寄りあり<2時間半/午前・午後>

It was the most fun! 最高に楽しかったです!

Reviewed by: クッキー

I drove a buggy for about two and a half hours on various courses such as mountain paths, forest roads, and gravel roads in the North Shore! I had been to the North Shore several times, but I was very satisfied to see scenery I had never seen before! We stopped several times to switch drivers and take photos. The guide took the pictures for us. There were several intense courses that were thrilling and fun! My face and clothes got covered in dust! (laughs) After the buggy ride, there is a water source where you can wash your face! They provide sunglasses at the beginning, but just wearing sunglasses can let dust get into your eyes while driving, so I think it's a good idea to use goggles or something similar for protection. The guide didn't speak Japanese, but he explained everything slowly and kindly, and he was a very nice person! It was a really enjoyable experience! ^_^

ノースショアの山道、林道、砂利道など様々なコースを2時間半程度かけてバギーで走りました!
ノースショアには何度か来ていましたが、見たことのない景色を見ることができて大満足です!途中何度か運転交代や、写真撮影のために停車します。写真はガイドさんが撮ってくださいました。
激しいコースが何度かあり、スリル満点で楽しかったです!
顔や服は砂埃で土まみれになります!笑
バギー終了後に、水道があるのでそこで顔洗えます!
最初にサングラスが配られますが、サングラスだけでは走ってる最中に目に砂埃が入ってきて痛いのでゴーグルなどで対策すると良いと思います。
ガイドさんは日本語話せませんが、ゆっくり丁寧に説明してくださりとても優しい方でした!
とても楽しい体験になりました^_^

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

Fantastic tour around the island

Reviewed by: Laura J

My family and I had a great time during the tour and enjoyed all the places we visited, except the Dole plantation which we think they should take out of the tour and visit Haleiwa town instead.
Our guide, Kainoa, was fantastic. He knows a lot about the history of Hawaii.

I was unsure whether to rent a car, but I was also anxious about driving overseas, so I decided to use this plan! We left the hotel at 11 AM and arrived about an hour later to participate in the photo mini tour. After the photo mini tour, I was dropped off near Giovanni's, which was very helpful! Since we had plenty of time, I was able to enjoy acai at Matsumoto Shave Ice and Haleiwa Bowl, and I also had a leisurely shopping experience!

レンタカーで行くか迷いましたが海外にて車を運転することが不安もありこちらのプランを使用させていただきました!
11時にホテルを出発し約1時間後に到着しフォトミニツアーに参加しました。
フォトミニツアー終了後、ジョバンニの近くで降ろしてくださり大変助かりました!

This was my first luau and I really didn't know what to expect. I was greatly impressed with the quality of the program, the enthusiasm of the performers and the outstanding cuisine we enjoyed for the meal. The evening with the Toa Luau group was an unforgettable highlight to our visit to Hawaii. In addition to the luau, we had the opportunity to hike to the waterfall while enjoying the beauty of the botanical garden. As I said, the whole experience was unforgettable.

Enjoying the atmosphere of the North Shore. ノースショアの雰囲気を満喫

Reviewed by: Hiro

First of all, the driver was great. Being Japanese made me feel at ease. Thanks to their service-oriented spirit and the various information they provided, I was able to fully enjoy the North Shore even in a short time. It was my first time horseback riding, and I was worried, but the thorough explanation of the precautions in the vehicle allowed everything to proceed smoothly. The local female staff were also kind, and my son, who is in the third year of middle school, enjoyed horseback riding as well. He said it was the best part of our trip. I was also satisfied with the delicious restaurants they recommended. The ocean was very beautiful, and I would love to go to the North Shore again.

まずドライバーさんが良かったですね。
日本人で安心できます。
サービス精神があって、色々情報を提供してくださったおかげで、短時間でもノースショアを満喫できました。
乗馬も初めてで心配でしたが、車内でしっかり注意事項を説明していただいたお陰でスムーズに進行出来ました。
現地の女性スタッフの方々も親切で、中学3年の息子でも乗馬を楽しめました。今回の旅で一番良かったと言っています。

Reviewed by: カビゴン

With a group of six people, we enjoyed a leisurely trip under the beautiful sunny sky, taking in the scenery. We also participated in a mini tour that we had hoped to join. Since our group had the vehicle to ourselves, thanks to the driver's kindness, we were able to see the honu (sea turtles) that weren't on the original itinerary, and we got off at Giovanni's Shrimp Truck. This allowed us to efficiently enjoy our time while walking northward. Perhaps because it was a weekday, it wasn't too crowded, so we could shop at a relaxed pace. Along the way, we revitalized ourselves with smoothies. It was a whirlwind five-hour stay in Haleiwa filled with walking, eating, and shopping. Personally, I found it more enjoyable without having to drive compared to when I came with a rental car (laughs).

3組6人の参加で絶子の晴天のなか、景色観ながらゆったり移動。希望参加のミニツアーにも参加。1組貸切状態だったので、運転手さんのご厚意で予定にないホヌも見物し、ジェニーズシュリンプで下車させていただきました。お陰で北上しながら徒歩で効率よく楽しめました。平日の為かさほど混むこともなくゆったりショッピング。途中、疲れを癒しにスムージー飲んで復活。歩いて飲食して買い物してあっという間の5時間ハレイワ滞在でした。個人的には、レンタカーで来た時より運転なく楽でした(笑)

ノースショア(ハレイワ)観光 ドールプランテーション+ハレイワタウン自由散策 日本語サポート付き英語ガイドがご案内する半日ツアー

A tour that allows for efficient sightseeing. 効率良く観光出来るツアー

Reviewed by: ミキキ

A tour that allows for efficient sightseeing during free time. It's enjoyable to just hop on the bus and explore without thinking too much! Although it was a bus tour, it was very efficient and offered plenty of free time, so I was able to go around without any stress. Our driver, Chris, was fluent in Japanese and even though it was an English tour, he provided guidance in both English and Japanese! He drove skillfully, so there was no worry about motion sickness. The conversations during the tour and the explanations at each landmark were excellent, making the travel time enjoyable!

At the Dole Plantation, we had pineapple soft serve, which was quite a large portion, so sharing between two people is recommended. After about 20 minutes, we arrived at Haleiwa, where we had two hours of free time and received a recommended map, making it easy to explore! We enjoyed both the pineapple burger and garlic shrimp recommended by our driver before heading back. It was a very fun time!

自由時間メインなので効率良く回れるツアー
何も考えずにバスに乗って観光出来るので楽!
バスツアーでしたが、とてと効率的で自由時間が沢山あるのでストレス無くこ 効率的に回れました!ドライバーのクリスさんは日本語も堪能で英語ツアーでしたが、英語と日本語両方で案内をしてくれました!
運転もお上手で酔う心配も無し、とにかくツアー中の会話と各名所の案内が上手で移動中も退屈せず過ごせました!

ここから20分位でハレイワに到着、ハレイワでは2時間のフリータイムとオススメマップもくれるので迷うこと無く散策!ドライバーさんオススメのパイナップルバーガーとガーリックシュリンプ両方を堪能し帰路へ!

Enjoying the sunny Old Hawaii. 晴天のオールドハワイを満喫

Reviewed by: Y.I

On New Year's Eve, I participated in a tour the day after my arrival. The Japanese driver was very reassuring, and it was great to hear various stories about Hawaii. It was my first time on the North Shore, and despite my worries about the weather, we were blessed with good conditions. Even during a relaxed time, we were able to hit all the key points, making it a fantastic start to my time in Hawaii. I'm grateful for that.

In particular, it was excellent to visit the rock that the famous baseball player, Shohei Ohtani, also visited. I was able to build upon the information I received to plan the following days. It turned out to be the best trip to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

大晦日、到着の翌日にツアーに参加しました。
日本人ドライバーさんでとても安心感があり色々とハワイの話が聞けて良かったです。
初めてのノースショアでしたが、心配していた天気にも恵まれ、ゆっくりした時間の中でも、ポイントはしっかり押えることができ、最高のハワイスタートになりました。感謝です。

You will slowly ride back and forth along a coastal course that takes about 30 minutes one way. The guide will take photos at beautiful spots along the way. The horseback riding guide only speaks English, but the horses are very well-trained and will walk on their own, so even if you don't speak English, you'll be just fine. It's suitable for those who are riding for the first time as well. It's a very relaxing experience!

It was truly an amazing experience! The tour was led by a knowledgeable guide who explained everything in detail, allowing us to learn about Hawaii's nature and history. We also enjoyed driving off-road in buggies and navigating the hilly course at the playground. Getting covered in red dirt afterwards was also quite fun. Keola and Raymond were our guides! Keola was the main guide and only spoke English, so it might be tough if you can't understand English. However, Raymond speaks Japanese, so I look forward to future tours.

ほんとに最高な体験です!
ツアーは知識豊富なガイドが丁寧に説明してくれハワイの自然や歴史を学ぶことができます。またバギーでオフロードを気持ちよく走ったり、プレイグラウンドで起伏もあるコースを走ったりと楽しめました。

ノースショア(ハレイワ)観光 選べるアクティビティ(シュノーケル・カヤックなど)<1日/ワイキキorアウラニ・ディズニー・リゾート&スパ発>

I managed somehow even though I'm not good at English (laughs). 英語が苦手でもなんとかなりました(笑)

Reviewed by: Maki

A noticeable small bus welcomed us at the meeting point. There were a total of 17 tour participants, with only 3 Japanese, and all explanations were in English. There was a self-introduction time, so we needed to briefly introduce ourselves in English, mentioning where we were from, how many times we had been to Hawaii, and what we were looking forward to on this tour.

Now, although it has been corrected, I was worried because the tour course I signed up for was supposed to go directly from Honolulu to Haleiwa Town, but it deviated from the course midway. We switched from Freeway H1 to H3, passed through Kaneohe on the east coast, and headed north along the coastline. After passing the famous filming location Kualoa Ranch, we took a restroom break at Tropical Farms. Here, we could sample macadamia nuts and had the experience of cracking the nuts out of their shells with a stone. After a break at a fruit stand, we went to Sunset Beach. It was November, and surfers were challenging the high waves.

Then, the morning activities began, and we chose to take a walk at Waimea Falls Park. The entrance fee to the park was included in the tour price, and the guide paid for it. The course to the waterfall was rich in nature and very relaxing. The water volume of the waterfall was abundant due to the rainy season, which was enjoyable, but during the dry season, the water volume is low, so it's something to be cautious about depending on the date of your visit. We could swim near the waterfall, but it was murky, so we didn't swim. Since we had some time before the meeting time, we had lunch there.

After that, we moved to Haleiwa Town, and in the afternoon activity, we tried SUP (stand-up paddleboarding). The location was behind a shop called Surf & Sea, and life jackets were available at no extra charge. The tour guide provided instruction, and while it was easy to get on the board, standing up required some skill. We could also paddle while sitting on the board, which was enjoyable, and I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle up close.

Although I was worried because the tour was in a language I didn't understand, I was helped by a friendly guide and friendly tour companions.

目立つ小さなバスが集合場所まで出迎えてくれました。
ツアー客は総勢17人で、その中で日本人は3人だけ、全て英語での説明となります。
自己紹介タイムがあるので、どこから来たのか、ハワイは何回目か、このツアーに期待しているものなど簡単に英語で紹介する必要があります。
さて、現在は訂正されていますが、申し込んだ時のツアーコースはホノルルからハイレワタウンへ直行だったのが途中からコースから外れていたので心配しました。フリーウェイH1から途中H3に移り、東海岸のカネオヘを通過し海岸線を北上。映画のロケ地で有名なクアロア・ランチを通過後、トロピカルファームでトイレ休憩しました。ここではアカデミアナッツの試食ができ、また殻から石でナッツを取り出して食べる体験ができました。その後、フルーツスタンドで休憩した後、サンセットビーチに行きました。行ったのは11月で、サーファー達が高い波に挑戦していました。その後、午前のアクティビティが始まり、私達はワイメア滝公園での散歩を選択しました。公園へは入場料はツァー料に含まれ、ガイドが払ってくれました。滝までのコースは自然が豊かでのんびりと楽しむことができました。滝の水量は雨季だったので豊富で楽しめましたが、乾季は水量が少ないので行く日程によっては注意が必要です。滝壺近くで泳ぐこともできましたが、濁っていたので泳ぎませんでした。集合時間まで時間があったのでここでランチを済ませました。その後、ハレイワタウンに移動し、午後のアクティビティではSUP(スタンドアップパドル)に挑戦しました。場所はサーフ&シーという店の裏で、ライフジャケットは追加料金なしで利用できました。指導はツァーガイドが行い、簡単にボードに乗ることはできましたが、立ち上がるにはコツが要ります。ボードの上に座ったまま漕ぐこともできるので十分楽しめましたし、至近距離でウミガメに遭遇したのに感動しました。なお、貴重品ボックスと荷物を入れるロッカーは簡易なものだったので盗難を心配しましたが、特に問題ありませんでした。集合時間になったらバスに乗り、途中でトイレ休憩後、ホノルルまで送ってくれました。
日本語が通じないツアーだったので心配しましたが、親しみあるガイドと友好的なツアー仲間に助けられました。

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>

I had a great day! 1日楽しめました♪

Reviewed by: Hailey

I was picked up near the hotel and went to Haleiwa Town on the North Shore via Dole Plantation. The guide's stories were very enjoyable! I learned a lot about Hawaii's history. They also informed us about the location of the restrooms in advance, showing great attention to detail. On the way back, we left early due to Hawaii's traffic issues, but we were taken back to the hotel, making it a fulfilling day. For those who are not confident in driving or who plan to drink alcohol, there is a shuttle service, and with more free time, everyone can enjoy their time as they wish. I highly recommend this tour! I would like to use it again!

ホテル近くまでピックアップしてもらい、ドールプランテーションを経由して、ノースショアのハレイワタウンに行きました。ガイドさんのお話もとても楽しかったです!ハワイの歴史、勉強になりました。トイレの場所などあらかじめ教えていただき気配りが行き届いていました。帰りはハワイの車の渋滞問題があると言う事で早めに帰路につきましたが、ホテルまで送っていただき充実の1日でした。車の運転は自信ないなーという方やアルコール飲まれる方は送迎あり、運転もしてもらえて自由時間多めなので各自思い思いの時間が過ごせるおすすめのツアーです。
又利用したいです!

I had Giovanni's garlic shrimp. It was exquisite. However, I don't think I needed five hours for the sightseeing in the area... Three hours would have been sufficient.

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Highly recommend 10/10

Reviewed by: 50th Birthday w my Crew

18 of our group of 24 went on this excursion. A few things- SAM was absolutely fantastic! So much knowledge- loved it! The fruit stand was awesome, the macadamia nuts stop was great, we were able to get great souvenirs at the best prices, treats, coffee- delish, bathrooms were clean and staff provided an excellent experience. We did the Waterfalls (definitely recommend) in the morning and had lunch at the cafe/bar there. Everything we ordered was delicious and the drinks were amazing. Then we did kayaking, SUP and some exploring aka shopping and tastes of local foods, LOL. So glad to have taken this excursion. Sam even had ice in the cooler.

The North Shore was amazing, and as expected for a championship event, the huge waves were impressive. I even encountered a sea turtle while paddleboarding. It was a great tour.

Horseback riding experience on the beach! 海岸で乗馬体験!

Reviewed by: Yuka

When we left Waikiki, I was a bit anxious because of the thunderstorm and thought we might not be able to ride, but the weather was perfect when it was our turn! The horse was not as skittish as a thoroughbred and was gentle and well-behaved! Although it wasn't very tall, its body was thicker than a thoroughbred's, which made me feel even more like I was abroad! Since I had only experienced British horses, everything felt fresh and new! The instructor was cheerful, kind, beautiful, and really wonderful! The guide was Japanese, very knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly, which made me feel very secure and it was a lot of fun!

If there is enough demand, I would love to see something like "Let's run horses on the beach! (with a pre-lesson)"

Thank you very much!

ワイキキを出発したときは雷雨で乗れないかも…と少し不安でしたが、私たちが乗るとき天気にも恵まれ最高でした!
サラブレッドよりも怖がりでなく温厚で良い子でした!体高はあまり高くないものの馬体(胴回り)がサラブレッドより太く、脚で挟みきれない感じがより海外に来てる感があって良かったです!
ブリティッシュしか経験がなかったのもあって色々と新鮮でした!
インストラクターの方も明るくて親切で美人でとても素敵でした✨
ガイドさんは日本人でとても知識が豊富で説明も分かりやすくとても安心&楽しかったです♪

一定の需要があればですが、「海岸で馬を走らせてみよう!(事前レッスン着き)」みたいのがあれば嬉しいです

どうもありがとうございました!

Horseback riding while feeling the sea breeze is the best!! 海風を感じながらの乗馬は最高です!!

Reviewed by: もぐたん

When it comes to horseback riding in Hawaii, I thought there was only Kualoa Ranch, but I was surprised to find out you can ride along the North Shore coast!! (Even my local friends didn't know about it.) It was definitely refreshing!! I have experience riding both domestically and internationally, but it's totally fine for first-timers as well. However, if you go on a tour, the time for exploring the North Shore town will be a bit short, which is a little disappointing.

ハワイで乗馬といえば、クアロア・ランチしかないと思っていましたが、ノースの海岸沿いで乗馬できるとは!!(現地の友人も知りませんでした。)
やっぱり爽快です!! 
乗馬は国内外で何度か経験はありましたが、初めての方でも全然大丈夫ですよ。 ツアーの場合はノースの街の散策の時間は短くなるのでその辺はちょっと残念かも。

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

I SWAM IN A WATERFALL‼️

Reviewed by: PQ

The tour was fun! Our Drivers gave us information about sites as we drove along! We stopped at the macadamia nut farm and fruit stand!! He gave us options about what was available for us to do! I was with a big group, we chose hiking to the waterfall and kayaking/paddleboarding!! The hike was along a paved road so not much hiking but swimming in a waterfall was worth it!! Make sure you wear water shoes that can tolerate walking on rocks if you get in at the waterfall! And while paddle boarding, I saw a turtle then ate gelato at one of the vendors near the lake!
Overall 9/10 experience!!! Would have loved to have gone to the beach as well but time didn’t permit

This was my second horseback riding experience, but it was my first time along the coast! I started with a mix of excitement and nervousness. Thanks to the kind and attentive trainer and the adorable horse, I ended up having so much fun that I was filled with joy before I knew it. I definitely want to do this again! For those who are unsure about it, this wonderful location for horseback riding will help you forget your everyday fatigue and stress in an instant.

乗馬体験は2度目ですが、今回の海沿いは初めて!
興奮と緊張感満載でスタートしました。
優しくきめ細やかなトレーナーさんと可愛いお馬さんのお陰で楽しくていつの間にかウキウキしながらの体験となりました。
また是非!是非!潮風を浴びながら乗馬体験したいです。
どうしようかな…?と、迷っている方、こんな素晴らしいロケーションでの乗馬体験は、普段の疲れやストレスを一気に忘れさせてくれますよ(^。^)
