One of my biggest fears is a shark. The idea of this excursion terrified me but When in Rome, right? Hawaii is the perfect place to face your fears and do something you’d never normally do. The guys on the boat helped ease my fears and made the experience so incredible. I would recommend this excursion to anyone. We saw 6 sharks at one time and being that close to a shark was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. We spent about 40 min in the water and it was the perfect amount of time. The fact that only a small number of people can go on the excursion means more time in the water. This is a must do on the North Shore! Bring your GoPro!

This shark cage tour was awesome. Started off the morning with a nice north shore cruise to the cage drop spot. The crew is very laid back and give you all the information you need along the way. Very friendly and knowledgeable and answered all and any questions we had. Spent a good chunk of time in the cage and saw a few different sharks able to collect some pretty sweet GoPro footage. Even saw some whales along the way and you are able to hear them singing underwater which is pretty cool. The boat is spacious and comfortable and they provide bottled water. They also have a fresh water hose so you can rinse off when you are done in the cage. This tour was 100% safe and professionally ran. I would recommend it for anyone looking to have a good time for a few hours on the island.

To secure time for horseback riding, the sightseeing time in places like Haleiwa felt quite speedy. It gave the impression of sticking to a strict schedule and moving briskly, so for those with children or who want to take it easy, it might be better to focus on one of the plans when booking the tour. Horseback riding was very enjoyable! It seems that horses have their own personalities, as some didn't always listen. (There were horses that kept stopping to look at the grass for food… haha)

乗馬の時間を確保する為、ハレイワなどの観光時間は割とスピーディな印象でした。
時間厳守でキビキビ行動していく…という印象でしたので、お子さん連れやのんびりまったりしたい方は、どちらかのプランに絞ってツアー予約される方がいいかもしれません。
乗馬はとても楽しかったです！
馬も性格があるらしく、なかなか言うことを聞いてくれない馬もいるようでした。(餌の草ばかりに目がいってしまい、何度も足を止める馬がいました…笑)

I also requested hotel transportation. It's an orange van with a large picture of a person zip-lining on it for reference. The driver shared a lot about Hawaii's history during the ride and was very friendly. Although it was in English (laughs), most of the staff didn't speak much Japanese, but gestures were enough to communicate.

The zip-lining was truly amazing! I was a bit nervous at first, but I got used to it quickly! It felt great—seeing nature, the ocean, and the sky in such a vast area was the best! Since it requires physical effort, there were several snack points along the way, with fresh macadamia nuts that you crack open with a stone, freshly picked cherry tomatoes, and small apple bananas! Everyone found them incredibly delicious! Please look forward to that!

ホテル送迎も頼みました。

This tour is one that you won’t forget! During our shark tour, we had 6 sharks around us for most of our time in the water. The cage allows you to get a close view of the sharks while still viewing safe being in the water. You get a beautiful view of the deep blue water that is unlike anything else. The staff was great, informing us of sharks that are often seen as well as educating us on the sharks we were seeing. The staff also gave fun facts about the island during the boat ride. I could not say enough great things about this tour!

We went with a plan to meet and disperse at the location.
There is only a restroom for changing, so I recommend wearing your clothes there!
There are lockers for valuables, but they are small, and you need to keep the key with you, so having a zippered garment or a small crossbody bag would be convenient!
There was no one who spoke Japanese, so everything was in English.
If you don't understand English, you won't know the explanations of the place or how to proceed next, so it's best to observe what others do.
The fun you can experience there is something you can't find in Japan, and it's the best!

現地集合、現地解散のプランで行きました。
着替えスペースはトイレしかなく、服は着ていくことをおすすめします！
貴重品のロッカーはありますが、小さいのとその鍵は自分でなくさないように持っていくので、ジッパー付き服か、小さい斜めかけかばんあれば便利です！
日本語話せるひといないので、全部英語でした。
英語がわからんとそこの場所の説明とか次はこんな感じでいったらいーよーがわからないので、行った人の見て行ったらよいです。
日本では味わえない楽しさが最高です！！

I took a leisurely walk along the beach and through the fields for about an hour and a half. The weather was nice, and the staff took a lot of photos, making it a wonderful memory.

1時間半ほどゆっくり海岸や野原を歩きました。天気も良くてスタッフの方も写真をたくさん撮ってくれてとても良い思い出になりました。

Our group consisted of a couple (with zipline experience), an elderly couple, a family of four, a solo traveler, two friends of mine, and the instructor, starting at 10 AM. (Everyone except us was foreign; from their perspective, we were the only Asians.) We began with a short zipline to warm up and then gradually tried longer lines and even went backward.

The elderly couple (around 70 years old?) and the children tried without hesitation. The most challenging part was climbing up to the zipline location (like a climbing pole), which was really tough, but the instructor helped us reach the top. There were places along the way to enjoy macadamia nuts, cherry tomatoes, and mini bananas, as well as hydration stations.

I usually use an iPad mini, so it was too large for me to carry, but the foreigners were taking pictures of the scenery and themselves with their smartphones. I would like to participate again and have a photo taken with my arms and legs spread out. Finally, we were able to purchase photos for $45 plus tax.

私たちのグループはご夫婦（ジップライン経験あり）、老夫婦、ファミリー4人、お1人様、私たち友達2人とインストラクターのグループで10時からでした。（私たち以外は全員外人さん→向こうからみればアジア人が私たちだけ）最初に短いジップラインで肩慣らし？してどんどん長かったり後ろ向きにトライしたりとしていきました。
老夫婦（70歳位？）と子供の躊躇なくトライしていっていました。
一番大変だったのはジップラインの場所までロープをあがっていくのがあり（登り棒風に）それが本当に大変でしたが、インストラクターが助けてくれて登り切りました。途中にマカダミアナッツ、ミニトマト、ミニバナナが食べれるところと水分補給は各所にありました。
私は通常はiPadminiと使用しているので大きすぎて持ち歩けなかったですが
外人さんたちはスマホで景色やら自分たちを撮ってました。
また参加して今度は手と足を広げて写真撮ってもらいたいです。
最後に45＄プラス税金で写真も購入できました。

I have to admit, even though I knew I would be swimming safely in a cage, I was still a little nervous. But the crew did a good job of putting my mind at ease. These guys really know their stuff! They've been swimming with sharks and surfing in Hawaii their whole lives. They are like walking encyclopedias!

The tour was fun from start to finish. We got to see whales on the way to and from the dive site (and we could hear them when we were in the water!), we saw the Lost beach where the TV show was filmed, and the view of the North Shore coastline was breathtaking.

Last but not least, the sharks. There were at least five in sight when I got in the cage. It was a dream come true getting to be so close to them and watch them swim around us. And the best part is that this tour only takes out a maximum of 6 people so we got to stay in the cage the whole time!

The staff are all locals, but they first showed us a Japanese video, so it was okay even if you’re not good at English! The horses are very smart and respond well to simple signals. We were able to enjoy a leisurely horseback ride on a beautiful, pleasant beach! Since it’s a bit of a long time, it might be good to bring a drink. They do sell some drinks locally, so if you ask the staff, you can buy them, but they might not have change, so you may need some small bills.

スタッフは現地の方ばかりなのですが
初めに日本語ビデオを見せて頂くので英語が苦手でも大丈夫でした！
お馬さんはとてもお利口さんで 簡単な合図でちゃんと言う事を聞いてくれ
とても気持ちよくキレイなビーチをのんびり乗馬できました！
少し長い時間なので飲み物を持って行くと良いかもしれません。
現地のにも少しですが売っているのでスタッフに声をかければ売って貰えますが
お釣りが無さそうなので細かいお金が必要かもです。

This has been on my bucket list for quite some time and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The crew is so nice and made everyone feel so comfortable and were very knowledgeable. They only take up to 6 people so you never even have to get out of the cage until the tour is over if you don't want to! We were in there for about 45 minutes getting to see several sharks and it turned out to be a really calming, cool experience. I would definitely recommend these guys, I was sold when I found out that it was a small group and that we would have a lot more time in the cage.

On the first day we arrived, we participated right away and had fun with the kids. We did all seven activities, but by the end, we were quite tired. The instructors were kind and taught us well, so my 9-year-old son was very satisfied and enjoyed himself.

着いた初日にいきなり参加しましたが子供たちと楽しめました。7本すべてをしましたが最後の方は結構疲れました。インストラクターの方たちが優しく教えてくれましたので9歳の息子も十分満足して楽しみました。

It was great. Very informative and professional tour guide. They were filming the movie Jumanji while we were at the falls.

My family and I enjoyed it very much! The view from the top was amazing and tour guide was very entertaining. They made us laugh the whole time. I'd love to go back.

There was a Japanese explanation video, and I was able to ride without any anxiety because I understood the precautions and how to operate. It was enjoyable.

日本語の説明ビデオがあって、注意事項と操作方法がわかった上で騎乗できたので、不安も無く楽しかったです。

First we took a 15 min off-road drive up to the first zipline. You'll see mountain views, ocean views, and will be zipping above the forest/farmland. The staff at Climbworks were really nice and funny; they really got to know all of the customers and made the whole adventure even better. They also offered us fresh fruit/nuts that is grown on the farm throughout the tour. The whole experience felt very safe and the grounds were really well-kept. This is the perfect option if you are looking for a fun, exciting activity on Oahu.

On the day of participation, there were only four of us, so the shuttle bus was almost like a private charter. At the ranch, the local guide was able to teach us how to ride properly, thanks to the small group size. The scenery along the way was mountainous, but the view from the summit was amazing! The guide took plenty of photos at the top, and of course, it was free! There were no crowds at all, allowing us to enjoy a relaxing time.

人混みなど一切なく、のんびりとした時間を過ごせました

It was a very nice horseback riding session.
The view was great.
Maybe less hour might have been nice if you are a beginner because my bottom started to hurt the last 30 minutes. Other than that, the staff were very friendly and it was a nice time :)

I didn't have enough time in Haleiwa, so I couldn't try Giovanni's Garlic Shrimp, and while shopping, I ended up missing lunch. Therefore, it's better to think of Haleiwa as just a place to have lunch.

I caught a glimpse of a turtle at Turtle Bay. I had hoped to go horseback riding in Waimea Valley, but since that tour was not available, I opted for a seaside tour instead. Even though it was only 45 minutes, I had a great time and was satisfied to get photos of me riding a horse in a beautiful spot. You can enjoy a free-style horseback ride that you can't do in Japan. The horse was munching on grass a lot, which was funny.

We were split into two groups for the horseback riding, so there was about an hour of waiting time, and I thought about how nice it would have been to explore Haleiwa during that time. However, I was able to go back to Haleiwa later on my own, which was great. But if you want to explore and shop in Haleiwa, I don't think you'll have enough time with the horseback riding tour. The horseback riding tour itself was very satisfying!

ハレイワでは時間がなくて、ジョバンニのガーリックシュリンプは食べれず、お買い物してたら昼食も食べれなくなっちゃいました>_<
なので、ハレイワではランチするだけの時間と考えた方が良いです。
タートルベイではチラッと亀が見えました。
ワイメア渓谷での乗馬希望でしたが催行されず海辺のツアーにしましたが、45分でも十分楽しめ、景色の良いところで馬に乗った写真も撮ってもらえて満足です。日本ではできない自由な乗馬が出来ます。舐められて草めちゃくちゃ食べてましたが笑。
2グループに分かれて乗馬したので、1時間ほど待ち時間があり、この時間ハレイワの街にいれたら…とは思いましたが。
後日個人でハレイワに再度行けたので良かったですが、ハレイワを散策したり買い物したい方は、乗馬ツアーでは時間は無いと思います。
乗馬ツアー自体は大満足です！

I went horse back riding with my sister not really knowing what to expect. But let me tell you something, it was incredible! Kali, our tour guide, took us through beautiful path ways. It was nice to get out of the city, especially cause I’m from LA, and experience the country side on a horse. The horses were calm and I felt comfortable the whole time. I would definitely recommend!

The weather was rainy, but the refreshing feeling of weaving through the trees was amazing. Once you get used to it, you can challenge yourself with various positions, so it never gets boring until the end. English is fast-paced and difficult!

天候は雨でしたが、木々をすり抜けていく爽快感は最高でした。慣れてくるといろんな体勢に挑戦できるので最後まで飽きません。英語は早口でムズい！

The weather was cloudy and bad, which might be why the boat was rocking so much that even I, who usually doesn't get seasick, felt like I was going to die from seasickness. As soon as I confirmed that the boat was small, I took motion sickness medication, but it didn't help at all. It was no time to be worried about sharks. We were in a cage to see the sharks, but the waves were strong, and the cage was shaking so much that I hit my head multiple times. My husband said it felt like being put in a washing machine. There were quite a few large sharks swimming around. I think it would have been fun if we had gone on a day when the waves were calmer.

曇りで天気が悪かったためか船が揺れまくりで普段船酔いしない私も船酔いで死にそうでした。船が小さいのを確認した瞬間に酔い止めを飲んだのに全然効きませんでした。サメどころではなかった。檻の中に入ってサメを見るのですが、波が強くて檻がぐらんぐらんして頭を何回も打ちました。旦那はまるで洗濯機に入れられたようだと言っておりました。サメはかなりデカいのがウヨウヨとおりました。波が静かそうな日に行ったら楽しかったと思います。

It was my first time horseback riding along the coast, and the whole family enjoyed it. The view from the horse was amazing. For lunch and the ice cream at Dole Plantation, one serving was quite a lot for each person.

海沿いを乗馬するのは初めてで、家族全員楽しめました。馬上からの景色が素晴らしかったです。ランチとドールプランテーションのアイスなどは一人一つ頼むと量が多かったです。

The car was full! The tour with 13 people has started! My husband and I are participating too (^O^) We are with five other groups of strangers, and the guide shared historical stories and fun facts about Hawaii that we wouldn't usually hear. The car took us to the Dole Plantation! Next, we stopped for a green sea turtle search! We could see them a little from a distance, but it was disappointing! We went to Haleiwa for an early lunch... Everyone requested garlic shrimp since we were here! To avoid wasting time, the guide placed a phone order for us, and we received our food right away when we arrived! The portion was just right for two, served on a stylish plate lunch✨ It was so delicious!

And finally! The main event of the day✨ We headed to Turtle Bay for horseback riding! The wind, air, and blue sea that you can't experience in Waikiki... The cute horses were waiting for us with saddles on! Each of the 13 of us carefully considered our compatibility with the horses and mounted them one by one... and off we went! Right along the coastline! How wonderful! I can't believe we got to walk such a long distance by the beach! It was definitely✨ worth coming to Turtle Bay. This! This! This is the beach horseback riding I wanted to do! You can't find this kind of horseback riding on other tours! It was the best‼ On the way back, we also stopped by a nut farm, and we had the best day ever! Thank you so much! I would love to participate again!

This activity is AMAZING! My children who were 12 and 9 at the time, had such a good time learning about the different cultures. It was almost set up like a theme park where there were various places and activities to be apart of. The grounds are breathtakingly beautiful. There's so much to see and do, you will literally spend ALL DAY there!

The local staff may not understand Japanese, but they showed us a video explanation in Japanese, which was reassuring. Each horse was very gentle, and we enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing time while feeling the sound of the waves and the wind by the North Shore. There was a lovely meadow where the horses stopped to eat grass, which was incredibly cute and amusing. I found myself naturally conversing with the horses! (laughs) They also took a group photo with the beach in the background, which became a nice memory. The staff immediately took care of the horses and gave them water after the course, so I think it's good to actively engage in conversation with them. They were very kind and attentive. We hugged and took photos together, creating the best memories. Thank you very much. There were also some friendly and cute animals besides the horses at the ranch! (laughs)

現地のスタッフの方は日本語はわかりませんが、日本語の説明動画を見せてくれるので安心でした。どの馬もとてもいい子でノースショアの海辺の波の音と風を感じながらなんとも心地よい時間がゆっくり過ぎていきました。途中馬たちの大好きな草原があり、草を食べて止まってしまうのもたまらなくかわいくて面白かったです。自然と馬と会話してました！（笑）海辺をバックに集合写真も撮って下さり、記念になりました。スタッフの方はコース終了後すぐに馬にお水をあげたりお世話をしていますので、こちらから積極的に話しかけるのもいいと思います。やさしく丁寧に対応してくださいました。ハグをして一緒に写真も撮っていただきました。最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。牧場には馬以外にも人懐っこいかわいい子がいましたよ！（笑）

They are probably watching over us, but as expected, it's not as thorough as in Japan, and there isn't a lot of support, so I was quite anxious about the shorter kids not falling off the horse, but we managed for 45 minutes! The horses are well-trained, I suppose. The scenery was also very beautiful. I'm grateful.

見ていてはくれてるのでしょうが、やはり当たり前ですが日本ほど手厚いことはなく、めっちゃサポートがあるわけでもないので低い身長のキッズが落馬しないかとハラハラでしたが、45分頑張りました！馬がよく調教されてるのでしょうね。景色もとても綺麗でした。感謝です。

Highly recommend to use your 3 day pass. So much to do! Not enough time to do in one day. Enjoyed the hands on activities, dancing, and food. No matter where you sit for the luau you have an amazing view. Our tour guide was amazing and we met wonderful people.

No problems at all. They provide transportation from Waikiki to Keana Farms with shared rides. It takes a little over an hour. Once you arrive, you'll be asked to sign a consent form on a touch panel (available in Japanese). First, you'll get accustomed with a practice zip line, and then you'll be taken to the highest point by a buggy. You zip line one after another by following along. It was so much fun! It lasts about two hours in total. The three handsome staff members were very kind. I wasn't sure about the last photo sale, but in the end, I was able to download them for free. I wonder why? I highly recommend it to everyone.

問題ありません。ワイキキから混乗でケアナファームまで送迎してくれます。１時間ちょっとでしょうか。現地に着くとタッチパネル（日本語対応）で同意書にサインさせられます。まず最初に予行演習的なジップで慣らして、バギーカーで最高地点に送られます。見よう見まねで次々ジップします。楽しかった～。実質２時間ぐらい。イケメン３人の係の人は大変親切です。最後の写真の販売はよくわかりませんでしたがね。結局ただでダウンロードできました。どうしてだろう？皆様にもお勧めします。

We participated as a family of five. Since it was the end of the year, there were many Japanese people, and everyone in the same group was Japanese, which created a sense of camaraderie towards the end, making it a lot of fun.

As others have mentioned, the crew members were very friendly, and they took care of all the setup, so we could just relax and enjoy ourselves. It was thrilling and refreshing, and it was the most enjoyable activity we've done in Hawaii so far. The kids had a great time too.

It's possible to take pictures while holding an iPhone, but having a GoPro or similar device allows for much better shots. The crew also takes photos and sells them: one photo for $15, four for $30, or all 50 for $66. Most people ended up buying all of them.

The North Shore is a great place as well. You can cover everything in about two hours, and although the mornings start a bit early, I think it's efficient for making the most of the day. I would love to do it again.

家族５人で参加しました。年末ということもあり日本人の方も多く、同じグループみなさん日本人で最後の方には連帯感も生まれ楽しかったです。
他の方も書かれていましたが、クルーの皆さんも非常にフレンドリーでしかもセットアップも全てやってくれるし、あとは身を任せて楽しむだけでした。
スリルも爽快感もあり、これまでのハワイでのアクティビティでは１番楽しかったです。子供もすごく楽しんでいました。
iPhone持ちながらも可能ですが、GoProなどあるとかなりいい画が撮れます。またクルーの方が写真を撮ってくれ、販売されるのですが、１枚１５ドル、４枚３０ドル、５０枚全て６６ドルで購入できます。ほとんどの方が全部買っていました。

ノースショアという場所もいいですね。2時間ほどで全て回れるし、朝は少し早いですが効率良く１日が使えていいと思います。
またやってみたいです。
