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 best tour! ☺︎ 最高のツアーでした☺︎

Reviewed by: momo

Since we were the only ones on the day of the tour, it felt like a private tour. The guide was very kind and made it a lot of fun, so we really enjoyed ourselves! ☺︎ I was worried because I hardly speak any English, but the guide made an effort to communicate using translation tools, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience!

Anyway, my face ended up completely black (laughs). It gets so dark that I can't even go out in public. A towel and wet wipes are essential.

I will definitely participate again! ☺︎ Thank you very much.

当日は私達しかいなかったので貸切ツアーでしたがガイドさんもとっても親切で楽しませてくれたのでとっても楽しめました☺︎
英語がほとんどできないので心配でしたが、翻訳を使いながら一生懸命に伝えてくださるので安心して楽しめます‼︎

とにかく顔が真っ黒になります(笑)人前には出れないくらい真っ黒になります。タオル、濡れティッシュ必須です。

また絶対に参加します☺︎ありがとうございました。

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]

Luau Experience

Reviewed by: Keyolfson

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the Waimea Valley Luau!
The pre activities were so fun; my son (23 years old) participated in the coconut opening and the palm head cover. He totally embraced the moment.
The area was beautiful! We did the falls and the gardens first.
The drinks were quite festive, and the food was awesome.
The “show” was engaging; I loved the music and dance. And, the fire was very impressive!
I would highly recommend this experience!

More fun than I imagined! 想像以上の楽しさ!

Reviewed by: kenji

We participated as a family of four (with a middle schooler and an elementary school student).

I was a bit anxious because there were few reviews and no Japanese guide, but it was more fun than I imagined, and the kids were very satisfied!

The tour lasted about two and a half hours and was divided into three main sections:
- A flat road where we could drive about 40 km
- A bumpy road through the jungle
- A course within a playground with steep ups and downs
Each section offered a different kind of enjoyment.

Good points:
- The drive through the vast scenery was cool and pleasant.
- The bumpy road was fun like a roller coaster.
- The guide was very kind.
- Even if you're not good at English, they speak slowly, so it's understandable.
- There are instructions in Japanese.
- The water and juice provided during the tour were cold and delicious.
- We received photos and videos from the tour via AirDrop.

Bad points:
- While driving, the guide explains Hawaii's history through a walkie-talkie, but if you're not good at English, it's hard to understand over the walkie-talkie...
- Tips can only be paid in cash, not by card.
- Transportation to the North Shore is necessary.

Before participating, I wondered if it was necessary to go to the mountains instead of the beach in Hawaii, but I think it was the right decision to join! It was really fun.

家族4人(中1、小4)で参加しました。
・口コミが少なかい
・日本語ガイドがいない
ということもあり、少し不安でしたが、
想像以上の楽しさで子供たちも大満足でした!

ツアー時間は2時間半くらいで、大きく
・40km程度で走れる平らな道
・ジャングルの中の凸凹道
・起伏の激しいプレイランド内のコース
の3つに分けられますが、どれも違った楽しさがありました。

良かったこと
・広大な景色の中のドライブが涼しくて気持ち良い
・凸凹道がジェットコースターみたいで楽しい
・ガイドの方がとても親切
・英語苦手でもゆっくり話してくれるので理解できる
・日本語の説明書はある
・ツアー中にもらった水、ジュースが冷えてて美味しい
・ツアー中の写真、動画もairdropでもらえる

悪かったこと
・運転中もトランシーバーでハワイの歴史などを解説してくれるのですが、英語が苦手だとトランシーバーごしでは理解できない…
・チップがカードで払えず現金のみ
・ノースショアまでの移動が必要


参加するまでは、ハワイまで来て海じゃなくて山行く必要ある?とも思ってましたが、参加して正解だったと思いました!
本当に楽しかったです。

Amazing ATV Tour Experience! Amazing ATV Tour Experience!

Reviewed by: TI

Our recent ATV tour was the highlight of our trip to the island. It wasn’t just about the thrill of driving; our guide, Keyoki, enriched the experience by sharing fascinating insights into the island’s history, culture, and even the art of hula. The off-road adventure through stunning natural landscapes was exhilarating, and my family had an absolute blast.

Keyoki is hands down the best tour guide we’ve ever had. He made the tour fun, engaging, and comfortable for everyone. The service was exceptional and truly worth every penny—it felt like a bargain for the quality we received. This tour will undoubtedly be a cherished memory for our kids.

Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!

It's a full five hours in the North. 5時間たっぷりノースです。

Reviewed by: mama

I had a great time leisurely exploring the North store and carefully considering the artwork I couldn't buy due to time constraints. The market was also open, so I took my time browsing there as well. I was able to visit Seven Brothers, which I had wanted to do.

However, I was a bit surprised by the driver's incredible driving. It might be tough for the elderly. I almost bit my tongue while dozing off! (>_<)

ノースのお店をゆっくりみたり、時間がなくて買えなかった絵を吟味したりできて良い時間を過ごせました。

Dole Pineapple Guided Farm Tour, Haleiwa Town & North Shore Sightseeing

Amazing Tour and Guide!

Reviewed by: Zoe

We had Cousin Elaine and she went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and enjoyed our tour. She taught us a lot about the culture and history of the islands. She made the tour more personal by remembering our names and by calling us her ohana. This was one of the best tours I’ve been on, we got to stop and see a lot of the northern part of the island.

I enjoyed horseback riding with the refreshing sea breeze. 海風が気持ちよい乗馬が楽しめました

Reviewed by: Mint

The horseback riding experience along the beach was very pleasant, and the horses were calm, so I felt safe riding them.

We participated as a couple, and there were five other participants along with two guides. One led the way while the other checked on everyone’s situation and provided support, which was reassuring.

They also take photos at the beach, making for great memories. This is a tour I would like to join again the next time I visit Hawaii.

After horseback riding, you can enjoy a leisurely lunch in Haleiwa and explore the shops, so I highly recommend it.

Haleiwa is the best. ハレイワは最高

Reviewed by: セリーナ祥子

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!

A miracle in the worst weather? 最悪の天気に奇跡?

Reviewed by: 横浜タナカ

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。

2.5-Hour Haleiwa ATV Tour & Off-Road Small-Group Adventure - Top Rated!

This was an unforgettable experience!

Reviewed by: Sue

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.

Four-wheel drive, nature, and adventure! 四駆と自然とアドベンチャー!

Reviewed by: Frise

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)

Horseback riding experience by the seaside! 海辺で乗馬体験!

Reviewed by: くっきー

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。

Every stop we made added to our fabulous experience of the island . My only wish having now taken the tour was to have the bus stop on the north shore for 15 mins maybe to fully experience the fabulous waves we only saw from the bus window ..

Horseback riding in Hawaii after several years. 何年かぶりのハワイ乗馬

Sightseeing
I was using Uber to get around, but I decided to join a tour for sightseeing in Haleiwa and horseback riding. It turned out to be a great decision. Our guide was Japanese, providing attentive guidance and care that really hit the mark. Thank you, Arai! I wanted to try garlic shrimp in Haleiwa, and I was introduced to a restaurant. It was quite crowded, but thanks to the advance reservation and efficient service, we had plenty of time for sightseeing in Haleiwa. I got a cute Snoopy T-shirt for my grandchild. I do wish I had done a bit more research on Haleiwa beforehand.

Horseback Riding
The horses were very smart. I felt completely at ease; they were so intelligent that I think even kindergarteners could ride them. One downside was the explanation of how to handle the horses for those having lunch. Since the horses are smart, you just need to ride them, but the explanation wasn’t tailored for an elderly lady who didn’t understand English. It was a bit fast-paced! Thanks to our guide Arai, even though I didn’t understand English, I was able to grasp the meaning. It was a local approach of "just get on and get used to it." It wasn’t unpleasant at all, but it did have an American feel to it.

I had a wonderful day. Thank you!

観光
Uberを使いながらの移動をしていましたが、さすがに
ハレイワ観光と乗馬はツアーにしようと考えました。
結果、大正解。
日本人のガイドさんなので、痒いところに手が届くようなガイドと心遣い。
さすがです。アライさん、ありがとう!
ハレイワでガーリックシュリンプを食べたくて、お店を紹介してもらいました。
さすがに大混雑なのですが、前もっての予約と手際良さで、ハレイワの観光時間が十分に取れました。
可愛いスヌーピーのTシャツを孫にゲット。
もう少し、自分でハレイワの下調べをしておけば良かったとは思います。

乗馬
賢い馬さん。なんの心配も入りません。幼稚園児でも乗馬できるのではないかと思うくらいの賢い馬でした。
一つ残念なのは、ランチの方々の馬の扱い方の説明。馬が賢いので、ただ、乗馬してれば、いいのですが、英語がわからないおばさんに対する説明ではありませんでした。早口でした!
そこもガイドのアライさんのおかげで、英語わからずですが、意味が理解できました。「乗って慣れろ」方式の現地の方でした。
決して不快ではないのですが、アメリカン的な感じです。

楽しい1日を過ごせました。

The Dole farm and factory were a lot of fun. The ocean was beautiful as well. For lunch, a sandwich lunch box was provided. No Japanese guidebook was handed out. However, at the Dole plantation, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese and explained important parts in Japanese (it might have been a coincidence). Additionally, the guide could speak some Japanese, so there were times when they communicated using Japanese words. During the transfers, the guide explained various things about Hawaii in English. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand most of the explanations, but I still enjoyed each of the places we visited.

ドールの農場も工場もとても楽しかったです.海もきれいでした.お昼はサンドイッチのランチBOXが配布されました.
日本語の案内書は渡されませんでした.しかし,(偶然かもしれませんが)ドール農園では,日本語を話せるスタッフの方が同行してくださり,重要な部分を日本語で説明してくださいました.また,ガイドさんも多少日本語が話せる方でしたので,日本語の単語でコミュニケーションを取ってくださることもありました.
移動中はガイドさんが,英語でハワイの様々なことを説明してくださいます.

The best buggy experience. 最高のバギー体験

Reviewed by: Hawaiisurf

It was an incredibly kind and attentive service, and I had a very enjoyable buggy experience. The elevation changes were intense, and the ride was thrilling. It was an experience I definitely want to do again next time. The staff who assisted us were absolutely wonderful. Thank you very much.

最高に優しく丁寧に教えていただきサービス旺盛でとても楽しいバギー体験でした。高低差が激しく揺れが半端なく楽しめました。次回もまた絶対にやりたい体験でした。とにかく対応してくれたスタッフは最高の方でした。ありがとうございました。

Horseback riding experience 乗馬体験

Reviewed by: mayumayu

The plan included a visit to the Dole Plantation, horseback riding, and sightseeing in Haleiwa. I thought the guide would just pick us up right near our hotel and take us by car, but instead, they shared a lot of history and local stories about Hawaii that we wouldn't have known otherwise. Honestly, it was worth the participation fee just for that.

At Dole, we had a short 30-minute visit, but I was able to shop and found unique items that aren't sold in Japan, which really excited me. The main horse experience was truly amazing. The waves at the North Shore looked like a painting. I was moved to think that such a beautiful place exists in this world.

Unfortunately, the horseback riding experience ran over time, so our sightseeing in Haleiwa was quite short, which was disappointing. However, I was able to enjoy delicious gelato and leisurely explore some cute shops, which was nice. I would love to take my time to explore more next time.

I had assumed that garlic shrimp was included in the course, so I was a bit disappointed to find out it was a separate course, but it was still so much fun that I would definitely do it again.

It was a day filled with awe in a world where there is still so much I don't know. Thank you, guide!

Doleプランテーション、乗馬、ハレイワ観光のプランでした。
泊まってるホテルのすぐ近くまでガイドさんが迎えに来てくれてそのまま車で送迎するのだけかと思いきや、この車に乗らないと知り得ることのできないハワイの歴史や現地の話をたくさん聞かせてくれました。もぉ、ここまでで参加費の価値あり。
Doleでは30分と言う短い時間でしたが買い物もでき、日本では売ってない雑貨と出会いテンション上がりました。
メインのお馬さんは本当に最高でした。
ノースショアの波は絵に描いたよう。この世にこんな美しい場所があるなんて…と感動でした。
乗馬体験がおしてしまったのもあったのでハレイワ観光の時間がとても短く残念でしたが、美味しいジェラート頂きながらゆっくり出来たし、かわいい雑貨店巡りもできてよかった。
次はゆっくり見てみたい。

ガーリックシュリンプがコースの中に含まれていると思い込んでいたので別コースだと知ってちょっとがっかりだだたけど、全然!!!それ以上に楽しかったからまたの機会に。


まだまだ自分の知らないことがたくさんある世界にただただ感動の1日でした。
ガイドさんありがとう

It was ruined by the downpour. ( ノД`)シクシク… スコールで台無しでした( ノД`)シクシク…

I was looking forward to horseback riding and shopping in North Shore, but unfortunately, the weather turned bad, and I had to cancel the horseback riding. The roads became like rivers, so I ended up spending about three hours in a café. I definitely want to try again next time!

ノースショアで楽しみにしていた乗馬やお店回りでしたが
残念ながら、天候が崩れ、乗馬はキャンセル、お店回りも道路が川のようになり3時間ほど一つのカフェで過ごす羽目に(:_;)
次回是非、リベンジしたいです~

The weather was wonderful, and it was a horseback riding experience while looking at the beautiful cobalt blue sea. I'm glad I was able to spend such a lovely time. I think it would have been even better if I had a little more time in Haleiwa Town.

お天気に恵まれ、美しいコバルトブルーの海を見ながらの乗馬体験でしたとてもステキな時間を過ごす事が出来て良かったです。ハレイワタウンでの時間がもう少しあれば尚、良かったと思います。

With a fun Japanese guide. 楽しい日本語ガイドさんと一緒に

Reviewed by: ma

I found this tour when I was thinking about going to Haleiwa to eat garlic shrimp. I had also wanted to try horseback riding for a while, and riding by the beach sounded wonderful, so I signed up.

Kaz, our Japanese guide, cheerfully talked to us during the drive and introduced the scenery we saw from the car window. The other members of the tour were all nice people, and when they heard it was our honeymoon, they applauded. The horse I rode was a bit mischievous and kept moving forward, which was scary at first, but I got used to it and had a great time. There were two instructors who closely watched over us, which made me feel safe. They also took a lot of pictures along the way!

After returning to Haleiwa, we went to the garlic shrimp food truck recommended by Kaz. Thanks to him making a phone call, we were able to enjoy delicious garlic shrimp without having to wait. This gave us extra time to visit Matsumoto Shave Ice and enjoy some shops. On the way back, instead of just dropping us off at the meeting point, they took us close to our hotel. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

ハレイワに行ってガーリックシュリンプを食べたいなぁと思っていた時に見つけたこちらのツアー。乗馬もしてみたいなと以前から思っており、海辺で乗馬なんて素敵!と思い申し込みました。
日本語ガイドのカズさんは行きの車内で明るくお話して下さり、車窓からの景色の紹介をしてくださいました。ツアーに参加されたメンバーの方も良い方ばかりで、ハネムーンというと拍手して下さいました。乗馬はやんちゃなお馬さんだったのか前へ前へと進んで最初は怖かったのですが、途中から慣れて楽しく過ごせました。インストラクターの方も2人ついてきちんとみて下さるので安心でした。途中写真も沢山撮ってくださいました!ハレイワに戻ってからはカズさんお勧めのガーリックシュリンプのフードトラックへ。電話をかけて下さっていたおかげで美味しいガーリックシュリンプを待たずに食べられました。そのおかげで時間も余裕ができ、マツモトシェイブアイスにも行け、雑貨屋さんなども楽しめました。帰りは集合場所でなく、ホテルの近くまでそれぞれ送ってくださいました。素敵な思い出となりました。ありがとうございました!

It was very pleasant. とても気持ちよかったです

Reviewed by: anela

The driver explained how to ride in Japanese during the car ride to the horseback riding location. After arriving, we were able to ride the horses one by one, and another guide accompanied us from the side and behind during the walk, helping us when we stopped. It was my first time riding a horse, and the weather was nice, with the sea looking very beautiful, which was incredibly soothing. However, my horse didn't seem to get along well with me, as it stopped and wouldn't move several times, causing the people behind me to wait quite a bit. Overall, I had a very valuable experience this time, which became a great memory.

乗馬迄の車の中で運転手さんが日本語で乗り方を説明してくれました。到着後は順番に馬に乗ることが出来、散歩途中も横や後ろから別のガイドさんが着いてきてくれて立ち止まったりした時に誘導もしてくれました。初めての乗馬でしたが、お天気も良く海もとても綺麗で凄く癒されました。ただ馬との相性があまり良くなかったのか、何度も立ち止まり動かなくなってしまう子だったので後ろの人を凄い待たせてしまう事も多かったです。今回とても貴重な経験が出来たので良い思い出となりました。
