The tour of the North Shore was a wonderful way to see this iconic area. Our guide, Kevin, was a wealth of knowledge as he was born and raised in the area. We stopped at several locations to allow for sightseeing, shopping, eating and various activities. It was a day well spent.

I had the best time!!! The staff was so friendly and nice and we even got a little special guitar performance on the way back to the island. The lunch was spectacular and if there are any leftovers, they will be given! But it is very filling! I can’t imagine what I’d do if I came to Hawaii and missed this tour!

Cousin G was awesome! We had a great day. The morning activity we chose snorkeling. Unfortunately for others, the falls were closing on Monday’s starting THAT day due to covid restrictions, so everyone had to do snorkeling. Had some food from shrimp truck, it was okay. We stopped at a macadamia nut and coffee tasting place, that was really cool. We did kayaking for our afternoon activity- not a lot of shade so definitely bring sunscreen or wear a long sleeve top, we roasted on the river. Then we stopped in town. Was a great day on the north shore, thanks again cousin g!

I never write reviews, but figure I would with this because of how good the experience was. The driver was on time, communicative, helpful, and courteous. He even got out of the van to find me during the departure. And with that said, the van was clean and spacious. I'd definitely roll with this company again. Mahalo for a great experience!

This was an amazing experience for our girls trip. If you are looking for fun activities that are self guided this is the tour for you. We did the snorkeling and paddle boarding both were extremely fun and we had plenty of time to do both. The price was great and included everything we needed. We got to see 2/3 of Oahu, which was beautiful. Our tour guide was Sam he was helpful and funny. Would recommend this tour/activity day to anyone!!

First time taking the Surf Bus. Driver was on time. He was knowledgeable. Didn't like his attitude at first because he had a way of making you feel foolish but at the end, he turned out to be a nice guide. My family and I did the waterfall hike and kayaking. The waterfall hike was timed for three hours. It was a beautiful hike through Waimea Valley seeing tropical plants and birds. To my surprise, the waterfall was smaller than I thought. There were too many people swimming already and it was only 10am. My kids did not want to swim because of the amount of people in the water. Even after the hike, and the waterfall and even ate lunch at the cafe, three hours was too much. It could've been spent doing other activities. We went kayaking in the afternoon. My family enjoyed that even though we didn't see any turtles. We were disappointed that we couldn't walk to town and get shaved ice because the line was too long. All in all, my family had a decent time.

They picked us up by car in Waikiki and on the way to Haleiwa, we stopped by Dole, where we had the recommended garlic shrimp for lunch. After that, it was finally time for horseback riding! We experienced riding through the forest and along the coast from the golf course. I think it lasted about an hour, which was just right. On the way back, we also stopped at a coffee shop for a restroom break, and I was very satisfied. I would like to participate again.
ワイキキまで車で迎えに来てくれて、ハレイワまで行く途中に、ドールへ立ち寄り、ランチはお勧めのガーリックシュリンプを食べ、そのあと
いよいよ乗馬!ゴルフ場から森林を通り、海沿いを乗馬体験しました。1時間ぐらいだと思いますがちょうど良かったです。帰りも途中でコーヒーショップへ立ち寄りトイレ休憩があり、とても満足出来ました。また参加したいと思います。

The guide shared a lot of information about Hawaii during the drive, which was very educational! I learned many things I didn't know before, and I love Hawaii even more now. We also stopped at a macadamia nut farm, which wasn't part of the original plan, and I was able to buy delicious macadamia nuts! The horses were cute, and the scenery was great—just perfect! I've heard that there is less traffic on Sundays, so I recommend going then!

It felt like a tour with sightseeing in Haleiwa.
I had an early lunch of garlic shrimp in Haleiwa.
I didn't quite understand the guide's explanations at that time.
Even when I asked questions or made requests, the guide would say, "I told you that earlier!"
All the tour participants felt the same way.
The guide's inner voice came out loud.
The horseback riding by the beach was very enjoyable.
ハレイワ観光付きという感じでした。

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 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!

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!
車満員❗13人のツアーがスタート!
私達夫婦2人も参加です(^O^)
知らない人達5組で、ガイドさんの歴史的なお話やハワイ事情…等あまり聞くことの出来ない楽しいお話しも交えて車はドールプランテーションに‼そして次に立ち寄ったのは、青海亀散策!離れた所で、少し見えたものの残念!ハレイワに行き早目のランチ……みんな、ここに来たならガーリックシュリンプが食べたい‼のリクエストに、時間のロスが無いようにと電話注文をしてくださり、行ったら直ぐに頂けました‼二人で食べて丁度良いくらいのボリュームにお洒落なプレートランチ✨とっても美味しかった❗
そしてついに!今日のメインイベント✨乗馬をするためにタートルベイに‼
ワイキキでは味わえない風と空気と海の青さ……
可愛い馬達が蔵を着けて待ってくれています‼
13人1人、1人が馬との相性を考えながら、順番にまたがり……いざ出発です❗
いきなり海岸沿い!なんて素敵
こんなに長い距離海辺を歩いてくれるなんて❗

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。

During the company trip, everyone said they were going to Kailua, but I really wanted to go horseback riding, so I participated alone. But it was so much fun! At Dole Plantation, I enjoyed freshly squeezed pineapple juice and was very satisfied! Then, I went to Haleiwa Town and savored garlic shrimp! At a restaurant recommended by the guide, it was the most plump and delicious garlic shrimp I've ever had! After that, we headed to the North Shore, passing by the Triple Crown (surfing competition). Finally, it was horseback riding time! I was able to truly enjoy the scenery and riding!
The guide was very nice, and to avoid traffic from the Triple Crown, we took a different route back, stopping by a macadamia nut factory along the way. There, I bought macadamia nut butter and incredibly fresh macadamia nuts!
I really enjoyed it!!!!!
社員旅行に行った際、皆、カイルアに行くと言うことで、私一人どうしても乗馬をしたく、一人寂しく参加しました。
だけど、ものすごく楽しかった!
ドールプランテーションでは生絞りパイナップルジュースを飲み、大満足!
そして、ハレイワタウンに行き、ガーリックシュリンプを堪能!ガイドさんおすすめのお店で、今まで食べたガーリックシュリンプの中で、一番プリップリで美味しかった!
その後は、トリプルクラウン(サーフィンの大会)を横目にノースショアへ。いよいよ乗馬タイム!景色と乗馬を心の底から楽しむことが出来ました!
そして、ガイドさんがとても良い方で、トリプルクラウンによる渋滞を避けるため、別ルートで帰路に向かったのですが、途中、マカデミアンナッツ工場に立ち寄ってくださいました。
そこで、マカデミアンナッツバター、すごくフレッシュなマカデミアンナッツを購入!
本当にenjoyしました!!!!!
