I slowly rode while looking at Turtle Bay. It felt so nice. The horses were calm and very gentle. I'm sorry for being a heavy lady. It was a very enjoyable and delightful horseback riding experience in Hawaii. They guided us to the shrimp lunch early, so we could eat right away without waiting. It was delicious!

タートルベイを横に見ながらゆっくりと乗馬します。まあ～気持ちのいいこと。
おとなしくてとっても優しい馬たち。重たいオバサンでごめんなさいね。
とても楽しいうれしいハワイでの乗馬体験でした。シュリンプのランチも早めに
案内してくれて待つことなくすぐに食べられました。美味しかった～。

The zipline at Kualoa Ranch is a great option. One of the advantages of the Keana Farm is that you can choose the zipline alone, which is not possible at Kualoa, and it includes round-trip transportation. At Kualoa, you can opt for round-trip transportation if you select other tours like the buggy, but if you choose the zipline alone, transportation is not included, making it difficult to get there.

You will zipline seven times with a group of ten people and three local foreign guides over about three hours. The tour description mentions a buggy ride (1.5 hours), but this does not refer to a self-driven buggy like at Kualoa, nor is it actually 1.5 hours; it refers to about a 20-minute buggy ride between the first and second ziplines.

While it seems like snacks are included, it's better to assume there will be almost none. The ziplining itself is very enjoyable, and the foreign guides are cheerful and entertaining. They are also very thorough about safety, which gives a sense of reassurance that the staff is well-trained.

Perhaps because it’s a tour for foreigners, the pickup vehicle did not arrive at the scheduled time (laughs). It takes about an hour and a half to get to Keana Farm from Waikiki, which felt very far. It would be good to have warm clothing to endure the cold car interior. No Japanese is spoken at all. I would like to go again.

クアロア牧場でもできるジップライン。こちらのケアナファームの良い点はクアロアでは不可のジップライン単独の選択+往復送迎があること。クアロアの場合、バギーなどの他のツアーを併せて選択すると往復送迎可能だが、ジップライン単独で選択すると往復送迎が付いていないので行きづらい。
１０人１組に３人の現地外国人ガイドでジップラインを７本、約３時間かけてやります。
ツアー説明文にバギー（1.5時間）と書いてありますが、これはクアロアのような自分で運転するバギーでもなければ、1.5時間でもなく、1本目と2本目のジップライン間の移動のための２０分ぐらいのバギー移動のことを指します。
軽食がついているかのような説明がありますが、ほぼないと考えておいた方が良いです。
ジップライン自体は非常に楽しく、また外国人ガイドも非常に陽気で面白いです。またとにかく徹底して安全に配慮されていますので、スタッフの教育がなされている感があり安心できます。
外国人用のツアーだからかもしれませんが、ピックアップの時間に送迎車は来ません（(笑)）
ケアナファームまでワイキキから１時間半。非常に遠いと感じました。
冷蔵庫のように冷えた車内での移動に耐えられる防寒着があると良いです。
日本語は全く通じません。
また行きたいと思っています。

Trip was awesome! Would definetly do it again. The tour guide Angela was great!

This tour is a great way to see and experience the North Shore from the land and in the water. Our tour guide (HC) knew his way around the island like nobody's business. He went the extra mile to ensure we had a great time. Plenty of time for snorkeling, bike riding, checking out waterfalls, SUP or kayaking AND SHOPPING! I highly recommend!

I had a very enjoyable day. The bus guide, who claimed to be from Yoshimoto, kept the atmosphere lively with laughter throughout the ride. The guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center was also a very cheerful and kind young man. He efficiently guided us to the showtimes, allowing us to explore the vast grounds with satisfaction. For dinner, we enjoyed a Hawaiian show while wearing beautiful flower leis.

The highlight was definitely the evening show. We had front-row seats! The two main performers were stunningly attractive. You could feel the intensity of the actors' sweat and breathing, making it very powerful. The fire show was particularly impressive; it felt like they were putting their lives on the line.

After the performance, the actors came over to shake hands, which was truly moving. After that, we returned to the bus with plenty of time to spare before departure. However, it seemed like the return bus was going quite fast, as I don't think anyone was sleeping.

とても楽しい1日でした。
バスのガイドさんは、自称吉本の⚪️⚪️さんというだけあって笑いの絶えない車内でした。
ボリネシア文化センターのガイドの方もとても明るく親切な青年でした。的確にショーの時間に案内してくれて効率よく広大な園内を回れて満足しました。ディナーは、生花の素敵なレイをかけていただきハワイアンショーを見ながら楽しめました。
特に圧巻は、夜のショー。なんと席は最前列。主役の2人は、美男美女。役者さんの汗や息づかいまで感じられて迫力満点。特に火のショーは、もうそこまでしなくてもと思うほど命張ってました。
そして、なんと終演後役者さんの方から握手してきてくれて感動物でした。それからバスに戻っても時間的には余裕で出発でした。しかし、帰りのバスは、かなりスピードが出てるようで眠ってる人は、いなかったように思いました。

What a great time! Not scary at all. We got awesome video! Definetly a must!

Organized, fun crew. Eight 8-10 foot Galapagos Sharks. Really exciting experience!

We had an excellent time here. We were picked up via motorcoach in Waikiki at 10:20 am. Our bus driver was hilarious and kept us entertained the hour we were on the bus. Beautiful drive there. We arrived at the center at 1145 and the center opened at 12. I would highly recommend a tour guide! There was SO much to do and see and I feel we didn't get to see even 1/2 of it all due to the center being so big and the small events starting at different times. The Ohana Hawaiian luau dinner was delicious! Pig, pulled pork, teriyaki chicken breasts, fresh fruit, poke, salads, fish, desserts, and so much more! The show during dinner was great as well. Ha, the breath of life is worth every penny! We got back to Waikiki around 11pm. It was a very full but very fun day!

This was probably one of our more strenuous/lengthier hikes (water and proper footwear are highly recommended- it can get slippery on the trail). It was a lot of fun. We did cross some streams which were a bit difficult for some. You will get sweaty, wet, and dirty. No bathrooms, of course, so be prepared.
Great views. Tour guide was excellent, very passionate, helpful, and knowledgeable! Lunch was pretty good- everyone seemed to like it. Private mountain pool swim was enjoyed by most.

We had a great time at the cultural center and love all the upgrades they have done. Our last visit was 6 years ago and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the most amazing host ever had just returned 6 months ago, we all remembered her from our first visit. I must say this is her calling and we will be back. Welcome back Miss Sia, your are truly a blessing to the center. Thank you for the special shout out to my son who celebrated a birthday and graduation, that really topped off our experience Thank you to our awesome guides Russell and Sofy (sorry if spelled wrong). The show was amazing as well... I definitely recommend the full guided tour for a full day of fun rain or shine.

Waikiki Beach, hotel pickup departure, next stop Hanauma Bay "The view of the bay from above is amazing!" Then to Moanalua Gardens "It was a breathtaking experience in nature, famous for the tree from the song 'What Tree is This?'" We visited Waimanalo Shopping Center and Dole Plantation "The pineapple soft serve was delicious." We went in the order of Haleiwa and arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center around 1 PM "It was a fantastic bus drive around half of Oahu Island, enjoying the stunning views for about three hours, the best way to learn about Oahu!"

After arriving, we had lunch, and there were various cultural experiences available in the park, all fresh and enjoyable. Canoe show "We watched many Hawaiian dances." Dinner "Steak, fruits, and dessert were delicious." The night show, “‘Ha’ Breath of Life,” which boasts the largest scale in Hawaii, featured over 100 staff performing passionately for nearly two hours. It showcased the growth of a life born on the island into a fine young man who would govern the island and protect its people, presented through songs and dances! The fire dance show in the second half was a powerful light show that you absolutely cannot see anywhere else. It was the best!

Spending time in the park until 9:30 PM, I felt like I truly experienced Hawaii and became one with the locals! It was a fulfilling tour. Thank you to all the cast members; I was moved to tears and deeply grateful.

Since I had already heard the story in Japanese from our guide during the bus drive, even though I didn't understand the language, I was able to enjoy the show smoothly and with even more intensity. Thank you to our wonderful guide; I will come back again!

夜のショーは、あらかじめガイドさんから日本語でバスドライブ中ストーリーを一通り聞いていた為、言語はわからずともスムーズに一層迫力を受け楽しむことができました。素敵なガイドさん有難う、又お邪魔しまーす♡。

My husband and I were celebrating our 10 year anniversary in Hawaii and I had always wanted to go horse-back riding on the beach. This was a great place to do that, beautiful weather, even better scenery. We were very happy with the private sunset ride.

I wanted to go somewhere different and participate in an activity that not many Japanese people join, so I went with my 10-year-old child and my father. It requires physical stamina, but it was incredibly fun. However, there were absolutely no Japanese people, so it was English ONLY. My child can speak English, so we managed somehow (laughs).

いつもと違うところへ行きたくて、なおかつ日本人のあまり参加しないアクティビティということで私、子供10歳、私の父で参加してきました。体力はいりますが最高に楽しかったです。ただまったく日本人がいないので英語ONLYです。子供が英語話せるので何とかなりました(笑)

I participated in a company trip with my senior. I was nervous about my first horseback riding experience, but the horse was well-trained, so I was able to enjoy the ride. I was lucky to see sea turtles as well.

会社の旅行で先輩と一緒に参加しました。
初乗馬で緊張しましたが馬もしっかり調教されていたので、楽しんで乗れました。
ウミガメも見れてラッキーでした。

Guides were great and so was the zip line. I would definitely do it again.

For little kids would only do it once in a lifetime. Luau was really good though

We stopped by the beach to see the sea turtles, and there was over an hour of free time for hiking in Haleiwa. It was packed with activities, but our guide managed the time very well, allowing us to enjoy everything without wasting any time. We also had a lot of conversations in the car, learning various things about Hawaii, which was very educational! Since I love plants, the guide taught us the names of mango trees and many Hawaiian flowers.

In Haleiwa, to make the most of our time, the guide recommended ordering garlic shrimp, which was incredibly delicious compared to what I had the day before in Waikiki.

We had plenty of time for the hiking course while waiting for those participating in the horseback riding tour. After hiking, we could relax and have tea, so rather than feeling like we were waiting, we could stroll at our own pace and enjoy shaved ice, which was a good balance.

I would love to join the same plan again and see the sea turtles that I missed this time!

ドールによって、海がめみにビーチに立ち寄り、ハレイワで1時間以上のフリー
ハイキングでは2時間以上のフリー時間でした。盛りだくさんですが
すごく時間をしっかり仕切ってくださるガイドの方でしたので無駄なく楽しめました。また車中もすごく沢山話をして色々ハワイのお話が聞けて勉強になりました!
植物が好きなのでマンゴーの木やハワイのお花の名前も沢山教えてくれました。
またハレイワでは効率よく過ごすためにガイドさんおすすめのガーリックシュリンプを注文してくれました。前日ワイキキで食べたものとは比べ物にならないくらいおいしかったです。

乗馬のツアー参加の方を待つのでハイキングコースは時間がすごくたっぷりあるようですが
ハイキング終わってお茶したりもできるので待ったというよりは自分のペースでゆっくり散策・カキ氷を食べたりでき配分も良かったです。

また同じプラン参加して、今回見れなかった海がめを見たいです！

I was worried about being able to ride a horse, but the horses were well-trained, and I was able to ride without any issues. The staff was very kind and took beautiful photos with my phone. Walking at sunset while looking at the beautiful Hawaiian sea was very elegant, and the sunlight was not too strong, making it comfortable.

馬に乗れるのか心配でしたが、よく慣れた馬達で、問題なく乗馬できました。
スタッフはとても優しくて、私の携帯で写真も綺麗に撮ってくれました。
綺麗なハワイの海を見ながらサンセットの散歩は、とても優雅で、
日差しも強くなく快適でした。

It was one of the best times I've had. The instructors were absolutely amazing and kept us laughing and smiling the entire time.
The views are incredible.
I would recommend this to everyone! A must do!!

I participated in a beach horseback riding plan with my husband, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. After visiting Moanalua Gardens and Dole Plantation, we headed to Haleiwa. The guide mentioned that they would call in an order for garlic shrimp, but I really wanted to eat huli huli chicken, so I arranged this tour to match the day and decided to walk to get the chicken instead of ordering. There were no tables or chairs provided, so I enjoyed it sitting on a bench at a nearby bus stop.

I was able to enjoy shopping and take my time in Haleiwa more than on previous tours. Heather Brown's artwork was about $5 cheaper than in Waikiki (according to the staff, the prices differ because she operates out of the North Shore).

After that, we went horseback riding. The explanation was in English, but the guide also provided interpretation and took photos for us. The horse occasionally wandered off to eat grass, and I couldn't lead it as I wanted, but it was very gentle, and I enjoyed leisurely watching the ocean and taking pictures. I definitely recommend this over Kualoa.

Then we went to see the honu (sea turtles). The waves were high, so we thought we might not see them, but we were able to see them up close. Along the way, we saw a surfing competition from the car, making for a very fulfilling tour. The guide shared various stories and kindly offered to take photos at each stop, making for a very friendly and wonderful experience.

ハワイ初めての主人と２人で海辺乗馬プランに参加しました。
モアナルアガーデン、ドールプランテーションに続き、ハレイワへ。
ガイドさんがおすすめのガーリックシュリンプを事前に電話注文してくれるとの事でしたが、
私は今回どうしてもフリフリチキンを食べたくて、曜日を合わせてこのツアーを申し込んだので、注文せずフリフリチキンを食べに車を降りてから歩いて行きました。
食べる机やイスは用意されていないので、近くのバス停のイスで頂きました。
ショッピングをしたり以前参加したツアーよりもゆっくりとハレイワを満喫できました。
ヘザーブラウンの作品は、ワイキキよりも5ドル程安かったです。(店員さんによるとノースショアを拠点に活動しているので、値段が違うのだそう)

その後、乗馬へ。
英語での説明でしたが、ガイドさんが通訳もしてくれ、写真も撮ってくださいました。
お馬さんは、途中草を食べに寄り道したり思うようにリードすることが出来ないこともありましたが、とても大人しく、海を眺めたり写真を撮ったりのんびり楽しめました。
クアロアよりも断然おすすめです。
それからホヌを見に行きました。波が高いせいもあり、見られないかも…との事でしたが無事に間近で見ることが出来ました。
途中サーフィンの大会をやっているのを車から見られたり、とても充実したツアーでした。
ガイドさんも色々なお話をしてくれたり、行く先々で写真撮りましょうか～と話しかけてきて下さって、とても気さくで、素敵な時間を過ごせました。

When I tried to book a zip line on Maui during my previous visit, I was told it was fully booked for quite some time, which was disappointing. So this time, I was eager and made my reservation early. Since I wasn't very confident about driving on Oahu, I opted for a shuttle service.

As others have mentioned, there was a bit of an issue with the shuttle. It was crowded, and they arrived more than 20 minutes late. The driver didn't come looking for me, so I had to go around checking each vehicle, asking, "Is this for the zip line?" Finally, when I found the driver who said, "Yes, get in!", I tried to show him my voucher, but he said, "I know, just show it when we get there," and didn't check my name before I got in the car. I had heard there were two zip line locations, so I showed my voucher to another American customer and confirmed, "We're going here, right?" which finally put my mind at ease.

There were only the two of us Japanese, and the rest were Americans, but the driver was cheerful and chatty, and the other customers introduced themselves. It was a friendly atmosphere, and we arrived in no time. The zip line experience was undoubtedly fun, making it the best day ever.

I wish there had been a voucher check at the beginning, as it would have saved me from so much anxiety.

However, I definitely want everyone to experience the zip line, so I give it ★★★★★!!

以前、マウイ島に行ったときに現地でジップラインを申し込もうとしたら、だいぶ前から予約でいっぱいだと言われ、残念な思いをしたので、今回は張り切って、早めに申し込みを済ませました。
オアフ島での運転はちょっと自信がないので、送迎付きで。
他の方も書いていらっしゃいましたが、その送迎に少し問題ありでした。

混雑していて、20分以上遅れてやってきましたが、運転手さんの方から探してくれなかったので、自分から1台ずつ、｢ジップライン？」と探して回りました。
ようやく「そうだよ、乗って！」と言ってくれた、運転手さんにバウチャーを見せようとしたら、「わかってるから、現場に着いたときに見せればいいから」と、名前のチェックもしてくれないまま、車に乗り込みました。ジップラインは2箇所あると聞いていたので、他のアメリカ人のお客さんにバウチャーを見せて「ここへ行くんだよね？」と確認して、ようやく安心しました。

日本人は私たち2人だけで、あとはアメリカ人でしたが、運転手さんも陽気でおしゃべりで、他のお客さんたちも自己紹介をしたり、和気あいあいとした、バスの中であっという間に到着し、ジップラインは文句なく楽しく、最高の一日となりました。

最初に、バウチャーのチェックがあれば、あんなに不安にならなくて済んだのにと残念です。

でも、ジップラインは是非、皆さんにも体験してほしいので、★★★★★です！！

Taking this tour was very helpful in making sure we made the most out of our visit. Our guide gave us a detailed review of the area so that we were able to make an informed decision on our activities. I would definitely recommend this tour.

This was amazing. My whole family including my 15 year old says it was the best thing we did in Hawaii. Guides were great and loved what they do. We even saw whales on the way home and they tried to get us close to them for pictures. Fabulous time!

We participated as a couple in our 60s, and I thought we would be stuck in a can from morning till night?! But time flew by, and I'm really glad we joined (*^^*) We were able to do some sightseeing and shopping too ★ I highly recommend this tour.

60代夫婦で参加しましたが、朝から晩まで缶詰状態⁈と思ってたが、時間もあっと言う間に過ぎて本当に参加してよかった(*^^*)観光も出来買い物も★このツアーはおすすめです。

The weather was unstable, and in Haleiwa, there was a power outage due to heavy rain and lightning, so we couldn't enjoy shopping, but we were able to enjoy horseback riding in the rain.

Perhaps because there were many people, there weren't enough rain gear, and the guide offered his own jacket. I thought it would be good to prepare with more leeway.

It was my first time horseback riding, but there were no problems at all. Even when the horse stopped to graze along the way, the staff casually said, "Let it eat."

The garlic shrimp recommended by the guide was the most delicious I've ever had, and I'm glad they introduced it to us. The children also said it was the most fun memory of their trip to Hawaii.

I would definitely like to participate again.

天気が不安定で、ハレイワでは大雨と落雷で停電し買い物は楽しめませんでしたが、乗馬は雨の中楽しむことが出来ました。
人数が多かったせいか雨具が足りず、ガイドさんが自分のジャケットを差し出していました。
余裕をもって用意していただきたいと思いました。
乗馬は初めてでしたが、何の問題もなかったです。
途中馬が道草を食っても、係りの人は「食べさせてあげて～」とのんびりした感じでした。
ガイドさんおすすめのガーリックシュリンプは、今までで一番おいしく紹介していただいてよかったです。
子供たちもハワイ旅行で一番楽しい思い出だと言っております。
またぜひ参加したいです。

It was an AWSOME adventure!! The guide was excellent!!

Mr. Nakamura constantly shared various local stories, so the one-hour drive from Haleiwa to Oahu was not boring at all! The horseback riding in the valley was a bit nerve-wracking, but the horses are well-trained enough for beginners to ride comfortably, so you can ride with peace of mind. The staff at the riding arena are cheerful and kind people. I was able to enjoy the garlic shrimp in Haleiwa at a leisurely pace, and it was a very satisfying trip! 😊

中村さんが絶えず色々現地のお話をしてくれたので、ハレイワーオアフ間の1時間のドライブも退屈せず過ごせました！
渓谷乗馬は少しドキドキしましたが、初心者も心地よく乗れる位に訓練された馬なので、安心して乗れますよ〜。馬場のスタッフさんも陽気で優しい人です。
ハレイワのガーリックシュリンプもゆっくり食べれて、大満足の旅行でした＾＾

Perfect in every way, the guides were superb, the sharks were great, it was most excellent! Thank you VERY much for an unforgettable experience!

We found a brochure at the Pineapple Center and quickly made a reservation on Veltra to try it out together. The mountain climbing with the buggy was more intense than I expected! The first zip line was scary, but after that, I got used to it and felt exhilarated. I highly recommend it!

パイナップルセンターで発見したパンフレットを見てみんなでやってみようと急遽ベルトラで予約しました。バギーでの山登りが思った以上に激しかった！ジップライン１本目は怖かったけけど、あとはなれて爽快な気持になれました。おすすめです！

Loved the cultural center and all its history. I felt like we could have gotten there earlier if our tk guide didn't share so many personal stories. We had many beautiful stops but he'd wait till we sat back in our seats to stand and share stories. I'd prefer to get on the road and spend more time at stop points or cultural center
