North Shore
It was the best optional tour I've ever been on! The boat was quite rocky, but I had no issues thanks to taking motion sickness medication the day before and on the day of the tour. It was such an exciting time that I even shouted with my snorkel in my mouth!
今までのどのオプショナルツアーよりも最高でした!船はとても揺れますが、前日の酔い止め+当日の酔い止め服用で問題なしでした。シュノーケルを噛んだまま声を出してしまうくらいエキサイティングな時間でした!
We participated as a couple with our sixth-grade son. First, we went to Moalua Garden, then to a coffee shop, and finally to Dole Plantation. We spent 30 minutes at Dole, which was enough time to eat soft serve ice cream and look at souvenirs. Next, we headed to a beach with turtles. There were only two swimming in the water, and they didn't come ashore.
We had a 60-minute meal time in Haleiwa Town. I had previously communicated my desire for Huli Huli chicken and garlic shrimp, and the guide took us to a restaurant, but it was disappointing that it wasn't Marukey's. I regretted not asking to go to Marukey's. Since it was before 11 a.m., we were able to buy the Huli Huli chicken quickly. The taste was just average.
For horseback riding, we walked in a line along a mountain path, but the scenery became monotonous halfway through, making the 90 minutes feel long. I was very disappointed that the photos taken by the local guide with my camera didn't turn out well. The horseback riding itself was fine for elementary school students, but I think the coastal course would have had better views.
The guide explained various things about Hawaii on the bus. While the information about history and current life was helpful, I honestly found the discussions about celebrities' private lives unnecessary and uninteresting.
夫婦と小学6年生の息子で参加しました。
最初にモアルナガーデン、次にコーヒー屋さん、ドールプランテーションへ。
ドールは30分の滞在、ソフトクリームを食べてお土産を見るのには十分でした。
次に亀のいる浜辺へ。海の中に2匹泳いでいるだけで上陸はしていませんでした。
ハレイワタウンで60分の食事時間。あらかじめ、フリフリチキンとガーリックシュリンプの希望を伝えるとガイドさんがお店に連れて行ってくれますが、マーキーズではないお店だったのが残念でした。マーキーズに行きたいと言えばよかったとちょっと後悔。フリフリチキンは時間が11時前だったせいかすぐに買えました。味はまあ普通です。
乗馬は、山道をずーっと隊列になって歩いて行きますが途中から景色が単調で90分が長く感じられました。現地のガイドさんに頼んだカメラの写真がうまく撮れていなくて非常に残念。
乗馬自体は小学生でも大丈夫でしたが、海辺のコースの方が眺めが良くてよかったかなと思いました。
ガイドさんがバスの中で色々とハワイの事を説明してくれます。歴史や現在の生活については為になりましたが、芸能人の私生活の話はプライベートなことですし興味がないので正直余計な話だと思いました。
If you love learning about history, culture and origins then this is the day trip for you. From the smiling and informative tour guide and coach driver down to the guest. Services staff. Everybody had a smile on their faces and they were there to be of assistance at all times.
Our tour guide 'Cousin Mitch' was extremely informative and kept my 6 year old daughter entertained. He got us to all the shows and events on time we didn't miss a thing.
The centre is full of vibrant colours and rich history and watching all the island dances during the boat pagent was amazing.
It was a long day topped off by the amazing evening show which truly took my breath away, was well worth it
An amazing experience. Even though the water was extremely rough the day we went, it was still incredible. Our guides were the best too.
I can barely swim and I'm too scared to dive even with a snorkel, but my wife is a diver and wanted to do some ocean activities together, so I thought this might work out... and signed up.
The transportation and local arrangements were normal, without any particular issues. We took off our shoes and boarded the boat with about 20 people, of which only about six were Japanese. Along the way, we read a Japanese lecture file.
The sea at the North Shore was somewhat rough, and the boat rocked quite a bit. The Japanese student group that was with us was almost seasick. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's better to skip this. Even after we got into the cage, the waves were rough and it was tough.
I later heard that the North Shore is calm only around July to August. We were able to see sharks up close, so it's a good activity for those who like that, but personally, it was extremely challenging for me... I was overestimating my abilities. My wife was very happy, though.
私はほぼ泳げず、シュノーケルでも怖くて潜れませんが
嫁はダイバーなのですが、何か一緒に海のアクティビティをやりたいとの事で
これだったら何とかなるか。。。と申し込みました。
送迎や現地での対応は、特に問題はなく普通です。
裸足になって船に乗り込み、20人ほどで沖へ行くんですが日本人は6名ほど。
途中で日本語のレクチャーファイルを読みます。
ノースショアの海はそこそこ時化ており、かなり船が揺れました。
一緒に行ってた日本の学生グループもほぼグロッキーに。
船酔いに弱い人はやめとく方がいいです。
順番が来て檻に入ってからも、波は荒れて苦しいです。
後で聞いたのですが、ノースショアは7~8月くらいだけらしいです、おとなしいのは。
ちゃんと鮫は間近で見えたので、好きな人にはいいアクティビティですが
個人的には非常にきつかったです。。。身の程知らずでしたね。
嫁はたいそうよろこんでおりました。
The people were friendly, the views were great. Since we are experienced riders it would've been nice to do more than a walk but we were aware it was only walk. For the cost we probably wouldn't pick this type of ride again.
I was nervous before riding the horse, but the smart horses gave me a wonderful time. They worked hard to climb steep hills and skillfully avoided muddy areas, making the 90 minutes fly by without any scary moments. The guide also made great use of our time, showing us various places and preparing meals, which made us very happy. My family and I are talking about wanting to participate again!
馬に乗る前は緊張していましたが、賢い馬たちに、楽しい時間を過ごさせてもらいました。
かなり急な坂を頑張って登ってくれたり、ぬかるみを上手に避けて歩いてくれて、怖い思いをすることなくあっという間の90分でした。
ガイドの方も時間をうまく使って、色々なところに案内してくれたり、食事の準備を下さって大変うれしかったです。また参加したいね~と家族みんなで話しています。
I think it’s inconvenient because there’s no pickup service and you have to meet on-site, so you need a rental car to get there. Horseback riding along the nearby beach felt monotonous since the course was the same going and coming back. The time was shorter than I expected. The horseback riding at Kualoa had better scenery. If the weather is good, it might offset some of that.
ピックアップが無く現地集合の為レンタカーでないと行けない場所の為不便だと思う。近くのビーチ沿いを乗馬。コースが行き帰りが同じで単調に感じた。時間が思ったより短かった。クアロアの乗馬の方が景色は良かった。天気が良ければある程度相殺されるかもしれない。
I signed up for canyon horseback riding, but due to bad weather, it was canceled and changed to a seaside course. While the weather is no one's fault, I was really looking forward to it, so it's disappointing. However, I was glad that I could still go horseback riding on the seaside course. Thank you to the guide for being so kind. I will try canyon horseback riding again next year.
渓谷乗馬を申し込みしましたが、天候が悪くキャンセルになり海辺コースに変更になりました。天候は誰の責任ではありませんが、楽しみにしていただけに残念です。しかし海辺コースでも乗馬が出来たので良かった。ガイドさんも親切にして頂きありがとうございました。来年また渓谷乗馬に再挑戦します。
I was to scared to go but my friends and family had a great time. The staff was super friendly and understanding.
Glad to know that your family had a great time. Hopefully you will give it another try sometime! Hope to see you soon!
Great day at the north beach. We chose the waterfall hike as our activity in the morning. You could have done snorkelling or bike rides if preferred. We then had free time on waimea bay beach. In the afternoon we had a free lunch instead of doing another activity such as kayaking. Saw sea turtles at a beach on the way home
We had an awesome driver named Allen who was hauling his way to get to the Polynesian cultural center even through the pouring rain. Even though we purchased the late night entry, we still had a great time with our tour guide and was able to go to a few of the more larger exhibits. Each land has their own exhibit, or a mini show varying from 15-30 minutes. My favorite was the Samoas. The dinner was a buffet style luau with the hula girls and boys, and the children. Half day is more than enough time to go through the park. There was also a canoe ride that operates every 15 min but we missed it since we were the last wave to enter the park. The show at the end called HA, the breathe of life was an amazing show!
The guide was Japanese, and since it was a tour with only Japanese people, I enjoyed hearing various deep stories about Hawaii in the van. The guide was a great storyteller and a fun person.
On this day, the North Shore had high waves due to the typhoon, and it seemed that the turtles couldn't come up to the beach, so there were no turtles at Turtle Bay. However, they took us to another beach where we could see turtles on the way back!
For lunch, they took us to a recommended shrimp restaurant, and it was really delicious. The seaside horseback riding plan was just the right length at 45 minutes, and it felt great. The horses weren't startled by the sound of the waves, and they were all calm, but some horses got really into eating grass during the ride, which seemed challenging for the riders (laughs). The riders looked like they were having fun despite the struggles.
I think it's a tour that people of all ages, from children to the elderly, can enjoy.
ガイドさんは日本人で、日本人しかいないツアーだったので、バンの中でいろんなハワイのディープな話が聞けて楽しかったです。ガイドさんは話が上手で面白い人でした。
この日のノースショアは台風の影響で波が高く、亀が海岸に上がってこれないようで、タートルベイに亀がいませんでした。しかし、帰りに亀が見られる別の海岸に連れてってくれたので見ることができました!
お昼にはおすすめのシュリンプのお店にも連れて行ってもらったのですが、本当に美味しかったです。
海辺乗馬プランは45分とちょうど良い時間で、気持ちいいです。馬は波の音にも驚かないし、みんなおとなしいですが、馬によっては外乗の途中で草を夢中で食べてしまう奴がいて操作が大変そうでした(笑)乗っている人は苦労しつつそれなりに楽しそうでしたが。
子供から年配の人まで楽しめるツアーだと思います。
Not only was the horseback riding experience enjoyable, but I also got to visit Moanalua Gardens, Dole Plantation, and Haleiwa, which made for a fulfilling trip! Even though it wasn't part of the original plan, I was glad that I could also visit the North Shore Soap Factory and Honolulu Coffee upon request!
乗馬体験だけではなく、モアナルアガーテン・ドールプランテーション・ハレイワも行けて充実していました!当初の予定にはなかったにも関わらず、リクエストに応じてノースショアソープファクトリーやホノルルコーヒーも行けてよかったです!
It is a very special experience to see sharks that closely in the water. But you will get bored very soon since you'll see the same thing for the entire 20 mins.
Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable Y la guía que nos toco sabia mucho del tema y nos atendió excelente
Excellent guide, very knowledgeable about horses, Hawaiian scenery, and informative about Hawaiian economy. The ride itself was absolutely goregous and the beauty of the trail and ocean was so beautiful it is difficult to describe. Definately worth the money and a must if you are on the North Shore.
Only suggestion is that the address needs to be be more specific and signs would be nice.
Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable
Rained most of day, so sopping wet weather in water or not. Confusion all day about activities etc.
The park is worth to visit, food just ok but the show at night is so good and make the day worth it.
Wife and I loved this tour. She was nervous going into it but once we got out there and she saw the other two groups go in prior to ours it helped to calm her nerves. The crew was great and very knowledgeable about the area and what we were seeing.
We felt very safe the entire time and thought the water was so blue and clear. Visibility in the cage was about 100ft in either direction.
Only thing I would suggest is to make sure you take something for Motion sickness prior to going out like we did. There were several on the boat who got sick several times while we were stationary next to the cage and a few others that got sick while in the cage.
It was a bucket list item for us and we are so happy we did it. We also got their video package which was $75 for a SD card recording of our time in the cage.
The tour guide was not that good, spoke in a soft voice and let the passengers talk too much so it was hard to concentrate on what she was saying.
We started from Waikiki Beach and visited Hanauma Bay, Moanalua Gardens, Waimanalo Shopping Center, Dole Plantation, and Haleiwa in that order. We arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center around 1 PM, where we spent the afternoon enjoying lunch, exploring the grounds, attending the dinner, and watching the light show until 9:30 PM. I think it was a very fulfilling tour.
ワイキキビーチから出発、次がハナウマ湾、モアナルアガーデン、ワイマナロショッピングセンター、ドールプランテーション、ハレイワの順番で回って、午後1時頃にポリネシアカルチャーセンターにたどり着き、ランチ、園内観光、デイナ、ライトショーを夜9時半まで園内で過ごしました。
とても充実したツアーだったと思います。
We participated in the 7 AM tour with transportation included as a couple. There was only one other Japanese couple besides us, and the rest were all foreigners.
When we arrived at the boarding area, we used the restroom on the hill nearby before getting on the boat. There are no restrooms or changing areas on the boat, so you have to change here. Also, before boarding, you need to take off your shoes and put them in a box, so it's better to wear sandals that you don't mind getting dirty.
The instructions on the boat are all in English, so if you can't understand English, you won't know what's being said at all. During our visit, there were no Japanese instructions available, but when entering the cage, they give you simple warnings in English, and they check your gear when you're wearing the snorkel, so I think you can still enjoy it safely even if you don't understand English.
We were divided into three groups of five, and when we arrived at the spot with the sharks, each group was called in turn to put on their snorkels and enter the cage.
I took motion sickness medication, but I ended up throwing up. After throwing up, I felt a bit better, and the sharks came closer (laughs). The boat rocked more after setting up the cage than during the movement. Even my husband, who usually doesn't get seasick, ended up throwing up. There were people who looked exhausted and others who casually threw up, so I think it's best to prepare for seasickness. Also, it's better to go on an empty stomach.
The staff were very friendly and kind, checking on us when we were feeling seasick and giving us tissues after we threw up.
You can see a few sharks from the boat, but when you're in the cage, there are about ten sharks, and it was very exciting! When they come close, you can see their eyes and body wounds clearly. The cage sways, so it's fun to curl up and float while watching. Some people were sticking to the bottom of the cage to take photos.
I was really moved to see the sharks, but the nausea was a bit tough, so I gave it four stars.
送迎付きの7時の部に夫婦で参加しました。
私たち以外に1組だけ日本人がいましたが、その他は外国人ばかりでした。
乗り場に付いたら、乗り場付近の丘の上でトイレをすませてから船に乗ります。船の上にはトイレも着替える場所もありませんので、ここで着替えるしかありません。また、船に乗る前に靴を脱いで1つの箱に入れるので、汚れてもいいサンダルを履いていった方がいいです。
船上で説明を受けますが、すべて英語なので英語が聞き取れない人は何を言っているか全くわかりません。私たちの時は日本語の説明書もありませんでしたが、ケージに入る時には簡単な英語で注意してくれるし、シュノーケル着用時もチェックしてくれるので、英語がわからなくてもそれなりに安全に楽しめると思います。
5人ずつの3グループに分けられ、サメのいるスポットに到着するとグループごとに順番に呼ばれ、シュノーケルを付けてケージに入ります。
酔い止め薬を飲んで行きましたが、結局吐きました。吐くと少し楽になりますし、サメも寄ってきます(笑)。移動中よりケージを設置した後の船の方が揺れが激しいです。この時に船酔いしにくい夫も吐いていました。ぐったりして寝ている人や、クールな顔でさらっと吐いている人もいたので、船酔いする覚悟で行った方がいいと思います。あと空腹状態で行った方がいいです。
スタッフの人は船酔い時に心配してくれたり、吐いた後にティッシュをくれたりと、とても気さくで親切でした。
船の上からも少しサメが見えますが、ケージの中に入ると10匹くらいいて、とても興奮しました!たまに近づいてくると目や体の傷までよく見えます。ケージが揺れるので揺れに合わせて丸まって浮きながら見ていると楽です。ケージの下に張り付いて写真撮っている人もいました。
サメを見ることができて本当に感動したのですが、やはり吐き気が少しつらかったので星4つにしました。
Exactly what it said on the website. We had an amazing time, saw some amazing sharks and even got a DVD of us with the Sharks from one of the deck hands Dawn. Definitely worth every penny.
I really wanted to ride a horse, so I booked this place since it was close by and I had planned to go skydiving in the morning. As soon as I entered, I spotted a horse! I arrived a bit too early, so I explored the area! Right behind was the beautiful ocean of the North Shore! The location is amazing!
There were two women guiding us, and one of them did her best to explain in Japanese. But it was simple enough to understand. More than that, the horse was so well-behaved that it was quite comfortable.
Along the way, the horse ate grass and pooped. It had a free-spirited vibe that I can't experience in Japan. I definitely want to go again. If possible, I want to be able to ride like a wild samurai.
I went with a friend, but my friend got motion sickness from skydiving, so I ended up riding with a family from the West. They took some photos, and I made great memories!
どうしても馬に乗りたくて、朝スカイダイビングする予定で、すぐ近くだったのでこちらを予約しました。 入り口入ったらすぐ馬発見!案外早く着きすぎたので、近くを探索しました!すぐ裏はノースショアのきれいな海!ロケーションサイコーです!
案内してくれたのは女性2人、1人の女性は頑張って日本語で説明してくれました。でも簡単な説明なので余裕で理解しました。っと言うより馬が良い子過ぎてかなり快適でした。
途中で草を食べたり、ウンチしたり。自由な感じが日本では味わえない雰囲気でした。
また、是非行きたいです。出来れば暴れん坊将軍位乗れるようになりたい。
友達と行ったのですが、友達はスカイダイビング酔いをしてしまい結果私1人と欧米の家族での乗馬でした。写真も撮って頂きいい思い出できました!
I highly recommend this event, particularly as a Super Ambassador. The private tour guide and reserved seating were definitely worth the extra pennies. We partaked in lots of activities, saw all the best shows in best seats and generally had an amazing day. I can't recommend this event enough.
We participated as a couple.
The tour heading towards the North Shore always includes "This Tree, What Tree" and "Dole Plantation," which can be a bit tiresome, but it's understandable since there are first-timers.
The main horseback riding experience lasts about 90 minutes, going along a mountain path with ups and downs, so it's quite fulfilling.
I've also experienced horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, but I enjoyed this one more in terms of riding time and course.
After riding, we had an hour of free time in the town of Haleiwa, so I was able to indulge in the Huli Huli chicken from Ray's.
夫婦で参加しました。
ノースショア方面へ向かうツアーには「この木なんの木」「ドールプランテーション」が必ず入るので辟易しますが、「初」の方もいらっしゃるので仕方がないですね。
メインの乗馬は約90分、アップ、ダウンのある山道を行くので乗りごたえたっぷりです。
クアロア牧場の乗馬も経験ありますが、乗馬時間、コース等こちらの方が楽しめました。
乗馬後はハレイワの町で1時間の自由時間があったので「Ray’s」のフリフリチキンも堪能できました。
Even as a beginner, I was able to enjoy horseback riding. The sightseeing in North Shore on the way to the location was also very enjoyable, thanks to the guide's thorough explanations and attentive service. We visited the popular garlic shrimp wagon, the beach where the honu (sea turtles) appear, the Dole Plantation, and a coffee farm—places you must see when touring North Shore. It was a quick yet enriching tour. I want to participate again with my friends next time!
初心者の私でも、楽しく乗馬できました
その場所に着くまでの間のノースショアの観光も、ガイドさんの丁寧な説明と親身な応対で、とっても楽しく観光することができました
今話題のガーリックシュリンプのワゴンへ…ホヌの現れる海岸へ…ドールプランテーションへ…コーヒーファームへ…ノースショア観光でおさえるべき場所に連れて行っていただきました
あっという間で中身の濃いツアーです
次も友達つれて参加したいです
We participated as a family of five, all beginners. Our Japanese guide and driver, Masa, kept us entertained with his fun conversations and made sure we enjoyed ourselves at every stop. He casually took us to a recommended lunch spot, which was a relief in the heat, and thanks to him, we were able to enjoy our free time until the last minute. The horseback riding was at a cozy riding club run by Mark and Angel, and I was surprised that we got to ride right after a brief explanation! However, as we gradually became one with the horse, the excitement when we emerged from the dense valley into an open area was unforgettable. The only downside was that the restroom was a simple mountain toilet, which had quite an odor, but I definitely want to go back to meet the uniquely charming horses again. Thank you, Spirits!
初心者ばかりの家族5名で参加。日本語ガイド兼ドライバーのマサさんは楽しいおしゃべりで飽きさせず、行く先々で私たちを楽しませてくれました。おすすめのランチのところへも気軽に連れて行ってくれて、暑い中助かりましたし、おかげでフリータイムもぎりぎりまで楽しむことができました。乗馬はマークさんとエンジェルさんが経営するアットホームな乗馬クラブで、簡単な解説後すぐに乗ることになったのにはびっくり!でも、次第に馬と一体となり、うっそうとした渓谷から開けた場所に出た時の感動は忘れられません。唯一、トイレだけは山の簡易トイレだったのでニオイが大変でしたが、またぜひ個性豊かな馬たちに会いに行きたいと思います。スピリッツ、ありがとう!
