絶景スカイダイビング　一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動！ビデオ＆写真撮影付きプランあり　by ゴージャンプハワイ＜送迎付き＞

It was amazing. 最高でした(｡-_-｡)

Reviewed by: Maalion.Zion

This was my second time in Hawaii, and my first time skydiving. Unfortunately, the weather was not great due to clouds at that time. After five minutes, if there wasn't even a little bit of sunshine, it seemed like we would have to cancel for the day, but then a small break in the clouds appeared.

Seizing the moment, I boarded the Cessna. Although we didn't reach the highest altitude, I was able to dive safely into the sky. It truly became the best experience of my life.

Thank you to the staff who worked hard to give us the opportunity to fly without giving up until the end, and thank you for the weather in the North!

Hawaiiは二度目で スカイダイビングは初めてだったのですが、当時は雲があっての生憎の天候 …>_<
後、5分経って少しでも晴れ間が出なければ今日は キャンセルみたいな状況だったんですが そこに少しの晴れ間が.…
ここぞとばかりに セスナに乗込み最高到達点まで上がらなかったけど 無事に空にダイブ出来ました (^-^)/
人生の中で、本当に最高の経験になりました 。
最後まで 諦めずに飛ぶ機会に努力してくれたスタッフさん、 ノースの天気に

Polynesian Cultural Center Members-Only Monitor Tour Twilight Deluxe Departing in the Evening ポリネシア文化センター　会員限定モニターツアー　夕方発トワイライトデラックス

Reviewed by: miyuchi

★The Long-Awaited Polynesian Cultural Center★
I used to learn Tahitian dance and practiced the more intense Otea dance, so I really wanted to see a show in its original setting! This time, with limited time, I thought I could go if it was just an evening show, so I signed up for the "Twilight Deluxe," which includes a buffet dinner and evening show. I highly recommend the transportation service! This is because you get to hear a lot of interesting trivia! The bus guide was a student from the university next to the Polynesian Cultural Center. This time, it was the youngest Japanese person. Since the sales from the Polynesian Cultural Center go towards scholarships for that university, many of the waitstaff in the buffet area and the guides were students as well. Everyone was friendly, and it was fun to interact with people from various countries!
Oh, and on the bus, we learned about the meaning of "Aloha," various movie locations, the Tunnel of Happiness, Turtle Island, the Rainbow Sea, etc. I think the content may vary depending on the guide, but I gained a lot of knowledge about Hawaii!
Then we arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center! First, we had a buffet-style meal. Depending on the course, the venue is divided into two areas. Since we had the deluxe option, there was also luxurious beef. There were dishes made with taro and Hawaiian-style food, and the desserts were colorful and beautiful, which really boosted my spirits.
We had free time until the show. If you finish your meal quickly, you can also go shopping! And!! The show was incredibly powerful from the third row! Since we were on the aisle, the performers came and went right by us. I could feel the breeze on my skin. The show was like a musical with a storyline, and it was interesting. The music was performed by a live band!!! The natural night glow enhanced the overall effect.
Despite it being a weekday, the venue, which accommodates 3,000 people, was full! It was my first time seeing a fire dance, and I found myself saying "It's hot!" while watching! They really do amazing things like grabbing and spinning fire! There was a break of about five minutes. The deluxe course includes ice cream, which others can also purchase. The bus guide recommended going to the restroom during the break, but since it was a short time, the show started before I finished my ice cream. I recommend going after the show so you don’t miss any part of the story.
The stunning and moving show ended, and we took pictures with the performers on stage. We were able to take commemorative photos with the world’s best fire dancer and the lead performer. It's definitely not a cheap course, but it was more than satisfying and moving! Next time, I definitely want to go in the morning and check out other attractions and facilities as well.

★念願のポリネシアン文化センター★
私は以前タヒチアンダンスを習っていて、激しい方のオテアダンスをやっていた事もあり、
是非！本場でショーを観たいと思っていました。
そして今回時間のない中、夜だけのショーなら見に行ける♪と、「ビュッフェディナー&イブニングショー」がセットの「トワイライトデラックス」を申し込みました♪
送迎込みがお勧めです♪
何故なら、豆知識が沢山沢山聞けるからです！
バスガイドさんはポリネシアン文化センターの隣にある大学の学生さん。
今回は一番若い日本人の方でした。
ポリネシアン文化センターの売上がその大学の奨学金にあてられている為、ブッフェコーナーのウェイトレスさんも会場の誘導係も学生さんが沢山☆皆、親切で色々な国の方が居るので交流が楽しかったです♪
そうそう！バスの中では「Aloha」の意味や色々な映画の舞台紹介、幸せのトンネル、亀島、レインボーの海etc...
ガイドさんによっても内容は変わってくるかと思いますが、盛り沢山にハワイの豆知識が増えました♪
そして、ポリネシアン文化センター着☆
先ずブッフェスタイルのお食事。コースにより二手の会場に別れます。私達はデラックスだったので豪華なビーフも有りました。タロイモ使った料理やハワイらしい物、デザートはカラフルで綺麗で、テンション上がりました。
ショーまでの時間はフリー。食事を早く終わらせればお買い物も出来ます♪
そして！！ショーは前から3列目で大迫力！！通路側でしたので横からも演者さんが行ったり来たり。風も肌で感じられました。ミュージカル仕立てのショーでストーリーがあって面白いです。
音楽は生バンド！！！
自然の夜光が更に演出効果をUPさせてくれます。
平日なのにもかかわらず3000人収容の会場は満席！
ファイヤーダンス見るのが初めてで観ている私が「熱い」って言ってしまう程！火を掴んだり回したり本当に凄いです！！
途中5分位の休憩が。
デラックスコースにはアイスがついています。他のコースの方も購入可。
バスガイドさんは休憩時にトイレがオススメと言われましたが、短い時間なのでアイス食べ終わる前にショーが始まりました。
休憩時に行ってストーリー始まってしまっては勿体無いので終わってから行く事をお勧めします。
圧巻&感動のショーが終わり、ステージ上で演者さんと写真を撮りました。
私達はファイヤーダンスの世界一の方と主演の方と一緒に記念撮影が出来ました。
決して安いコースでは有りませんが、それ以上に満足が出来て感動します！
次回は是非、朝から行って他のアトラクションや施設も観てみたいと思います。

ノースショア（ハレイワ）観光　ハレイワタウンで3時間の自由散策＋ドールプランテーション！海辺の絶景を楽しめる乗馬付き(70分)プランあり＜1日／送迎付き＞

It became an unforgettable trip. 忘れられない旅になりました

Reviewed by: ルルさん

I had some anxiety about driving a rental car, so I joined this tour. On the day of the tour, there were 11 participants. I was a bit concerned about the old shuttle van and the unusable seat belts, but the explanations from our experienced Japanese guide were knowledgeable and diverse, making the journey feel like an enriching study session. The stop at the Dole Plantation, where we saw the "This is a tree" tree, was only about 20 minutes, so I recommend a different schedule for those who want to stay longer, but we didn't feel it was particularly short.

As we headed north along the North Shore, the guide explained the coastal scenery, and we split into two groups for free time in Haleiwa and horseback riding (the horseback riding group also had about 50 minutes of free time). We were taken to Macky's for garlic shrimp and were shown the main shops, making the short time quite fulfilling.

I was very anxious as a beginner with little explanation or guidance during the beach horseback riding, but there were seven of us in a line and another instructor accompanying us, who helped calm the horses and taught us how to hold the reins, allowing me to enjoy the ride. The beautiful scenery along the beach was breathtaking! It was about a 45-minute ride, but it was an unforgettable experience.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any turtles on the sandy beach, but our persistent guide took us to a spot where we could see swimming turtles, using what seemed to be a local information network. I am grateful for that.

We returned to Honolulu before 4 PM, so we were able to go out afterward and had a meaningful day. It may indeed be a busy schedule, but I think this tour is packed with the joys of the North Shore and is enjoyable for everyone. I sincerely thank our guide, Syozou.

　レンタカーの運転に不安があり、このツアーに参加しました。
　当日ツアーに参加したのは11名、送迎のバンが古くてシートベルトが使えないなどは気になりましたが、ベテランの日本人ガイドさんの解説が博識で多岐にわたり、道中まるで勉強会のように充実していました。「この木なんの木」とドールプランテーションはほんの20分くらいの立ち寄りなので、長居したい方は違うスケジュールのプランをお勧めしますが、我々は特に短いとも感じませんでした。
　ノースショアも海岸沿いを説明しながら北上し、ハレイワで自由行動と乗馬の二手に分かれ、(乗馬組も５０分位自由時間あり)わざわざガーリックシュリンプのＭａｃｋｙsさんに連れて行ってもらったり、主要なお店を教えてもらったりしたので短時間でもかなり充実していました。
　海辺の乗馬、説明や注意が少なくて初心者の私はとても不安でしたが、７人の隊列の前後ともう一人付添いのインストラクターがいて、道草する馬をなだめたり引き綱をおしえてもらったりで楽しく乗馬できました。ゆっくりと歩く海辺の景色の美しいこと！４５分位の乗馬でしたが忘れられない経験でした。
　残念ながら砂浜でカメを見ることはできず、諦めないガイドさんが地元の情報網を駆使していそうな浜辺に立ち寄ってくれて泳いでいるカメを見ることができました。感謝。
　ホノルルには午後４時前に戻ってきたのでその後も出かけることができ、一日を有意義に過ごすことができました。確かに忙しいスケジュールかも知れませんが、ノースショアの楽しみが凝縮された、だれでも十分に楽しめる充実のツアーだと思います。ガイドのsyozouさん？に心から感謝します。

This was our family's first time visiting oahu and the ocean front horse back ride was by far our most favorite and memorable experience. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable and the horses are very well cared for (my horse Ike is a retired polo pony). We even had the pleasure of a hawaiian pig named 'wilma' that thinks she's a horse escort our ride. We went on the sunset tour and the landscape is unlike anywhere I have ever seen, so peaceful and breathtaking. Would highly recommend this activity to other families, friends and couples!

From the start til the end, it was a non-stop adventure. 3 guides were with us, and we all had a blast! The ATV ride around the farm to get to the platform was fun and educational. They showed us different tropical plants like guava, mango, papaya, banana and so much more. The zipline and the view was just spectacular. I could do it again and again. They even had a rope climbing machine, and my arm is still sore from it! Overall, this was excellent and worth every penny. If you go to the North Shore, you need to put it in your bucket list.

A perfect day!

Reviewed by: Marzia (Roma-Italy)

Everything was just perfect! I had the super Ambassador package with a private guide and I really felt privileged and I enjoyed the culture and traditions of the Polynesian people. Every show, every cultural event was organized with great respect and love for the Polynesian natives. I had a dip in the full life of seven similar, but very different, traditions, culminating in the wonderful final show: Ha, a breath of life! I also appreciated the fact that the Polynesian Center is carried out by students of the various islands and that our contribution is to support their studies. This is a great way to spread culture! MAHALO!

Special thanks to Clifton, my personal guide. He is a good hearted boy with a deep feeling for his culture and a deep respect for other people.

I don't remember feeling that much excitement when I visited a long time ago. However, this time, I was extremely satisfied and deeply moved! The students from Brigham Young University, just a five-minute walk away, worked hard to provide guiding services and dance shows, making it a fun theme park that rivals professional levels. There were plenty of attractions, and the children were having a great time playing. I think it's a place that's enjoyable for both elementary school students and adults.

大昔に行った時には、それほどの感動を覚えた記憶がありません。しかし、今回は、大満足！大感動！でした。歩いて5分のブリンガムヤング大学の学生たちが一生懸命にガイドやダンスショーをしてくれていて、プロと遜色ないレベルの楽しいテーマパークでした。アトラクションもたくさんあり、子供たちも大喜びで遊んでいました。小学生でも、大人でもとっても楽しいところだと思います。

Hawaii Polo Oceanfront Trail Rides - North Shore Horseback Riding Sunset Tour

A Wonderful Experience

Reviewed by: Heidi and Sarah

My sister and I have some experince riding horses and were very excited after booking this excursion. When we arrived, it was clear that the horses were well taken care of. The guides, Sarah and Gina, were amazing!! They were very alert and attentive to those who had never ridden before, were informative about the island, answered all of our questions and they were sure to get us to the sunset view in time. Safety was a first priority and Sarah and Gina were very aware of taking great pictures of all of us. The only suggestion I have is that booking this excursion requires a car. We took the bus to the last stop on the route then had to walk three miles to the polo club which was fine on the way in but we had to hitch a ride on the way back because it was after dark and we were not comfortable walking back to the bus stop.

Could not have been better; we specifically chose this shark encounter since they book fewer people on the boat and it was just what I had in mind. We had 10 total on the boat.

Reviewed by: Stella Martin YT Cda

Our tour of the island was very enjoyable. Very happy to see the Pineapples growing, and the lay of the land. The guides were prompt and the guide at the Centre, was especially polite. (Congrats to them, too, for indicating they do not except tips.) We visited three villages but I've done these without a guide and on my own, saw all six villages in the time he took us to three. I know time is spent gathering people and passing out leis and explaining procedures, but this did detract from what we could experience. I would suggest that at the Center, folks are given the option to go with the guide or go on their own. The luau and HA - Breath of Life show are phenomenal!! We had half a house for the audience and I was so impressed with the quality of singing and dancing, of the performers, that I started the standing ovation. Those students really deserve our appreciation!!

Reviewed by: ピッピ

It's a bit far from Waikiki, but the experience can vary depending on the guide. If you have a good guide, you can hear various stories and enjoy sightseeing from the car window. I always opt for the more expensive meals, and they're not bad. The show is enjoyable even if you know what to expect. The vendors sell ice cream along the way, but it can be messy, and I worry about getting dirty if you're sitting on the aisle.

少しワイキキからは遠いですが、ガイドさんによって当たりハズレがあります。良いガイドさんなら色んな話が聞けて、車窓で観光が楽しめる時もあります。お食事は毎回高い方にしています。まぁ悪くはない感じです。ショーは内容を分かってても楽しいです。売り子さんが途中アイスクリームを売るのですが、ボタボタ落ちて通路側に座ってたら汚れそうでヒヤヒヤします。

Beautiful sunset horseback ride and a wonderful campfire dinner!

Reviewed by: Maiwayalways1

Our guide was Greg. He was so sweet and genuine. As we trailed he would give us some history on the names of the cities surrounding the ranch, the different boarding houses for the various horses on the land and we saw roaming cattle and goats. A few roosters and chicken also. The girls really enjoyed themselves on the trail being surrounded by nature here. As we rode uphill and finally reached our camp, you smelled the campfire and saw a breath taking view of the ocean. The sight is amazing! The meal was strip steak, tempura shrimp, rice and mac salad. It was so delicious! And you roasted your own marshmallows for s'mores! As we rode down toward the valley, again you could see the elevation and beautiful land surrounding this huge ranch. This was our second sunset ride@ Gunstock and we will be returning again.

Although the staff spoke only English, they were friendly and spoke slowly and kindly to us, even though we are not very proficient in English. Wrapped in a warm atmosphere, I had a very enjoyable and relaxing time, so I highly recommend it! 😊

絶景スカイダイビング　一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動！ビデオ＆写真撮影付きプランあり　by ゴージャンプハワイ＜送迎付き＞

A mysterious driver. Forgotten participants, and an accident, then fly after seeing it! 不思議なドライバー。忘れられた参加者、そして事故、それを見てからフライ！

Reviewed by: れなみ

I went with a mixed group of about ten people, mostly Japanese, and there were some Koreans as well. The driver was an elderly man in his 70s. He didn’t seem like a bad person, but on the bus, he made us pass around a community newspaper where he had posted about his skydiving experience. He talked about his upbringing, spiritual matters, and global warming, and honestly, I couldn't understand what he was saying at all. That kind of talk was unnecessary.

When we arrived, everyone else took the training and boarded the Cessna, and they kept descending one after another. However, for some reason, we (I didn’t jump, but my companions did) were forgotten, and even though we arrived at 9 AM, the Cessna didn’t take off until after 11 AM. (Everyone else had finished by before 10 AM.)

As other participants finished their jumps and more people arrived, I started to think we were being forgotten. I occasionally asked the elderly driver, “Are we still waiting?” but he would say things like, “It’s just the order” or “It seems it will take a while,” and we were left waiting. The driver could have asked the staff for us, but he didn’t do that for quite some time. After about an hour and a half, he finally went to ask, and we were told, “It seems the paperwork was sent to the wrong place.” In short, we had been forgotten. I should have just gone to the reception myself to ask.

While we were waiting in a daze, there was a loud “bang!” followed by staff shouting “Oh No!” and “Emergency!” Then we saw someone collapse in the grass, and an ambulance arrived. It was shocking. In the end, it turned out that the parachute didn’t open in the air, but the person had failed the landing and fell a bit. However, I don’t know the details, and it was really scary. The person didn’t move for about 30 minutes, and the staff were all in a flurry. Ultimately, the person who fell didn’t go in the ambulance but left in a private car driven by their companion, so it seemed they weren’t seriously injured. But seeing something like that before jumping was terrifying, not enjoyable.

The driver was a bit off. We were made to wait a long time on-site, witnessed an accident, and then waited even longer because of that. Finally, we were able to jump, but the weather wasn’t great, and although I hoped for the maximum altitude, they lowered it (which is understandable). The only good memory was up in the sky.

Also, because there were many clouds, we were refunded $30 for having to lower the altitude, but it was a system where you had to go to the reception to request the refund yourself, which was another point of dissatisfaction. It’s strange that they wouldn’t refund unless you asked. The office was small, and there weren’t even ten customers, so they should have been able to keep track.

After waiting for such a long time, I went to the reception to file a complaint on the way back, but as expected, it was different from Japan. They really didn’t apologize! They made excuses about the paperwork being delayed, the documents going to the wrong place, the weather, and so on. I was frustrated that I couldn’t express even half of what I wanted to say because I don’t speak much English. It was all excuses. The driver insisted that he submitted the paperwork, but the reception made a mistake, and the reception said it wasn’t their fault.

Finally, when we were returning to Waikiki, the driver said, “There were various troubles today, so we were a bit late. Sorry about that.” Everyone in the tour group fell silent at that comment. The way he said it… Then afterwards, he called what seemed to be headquarters on his cellphone and reported, “Everything went smoothly,” which irritated me even more.

The driver’s incomprehensible talk, the wait time after everyone else finished their jumps, the accident, the refund system that required you to report it yourself, and their lack of apology.

I was exhausted.

When I went skydiving in Guam, the support from start to finish was fa

１０名ほどの混載で行きました。だいたい日本人、あと韓国人もいたかな。
ドライバーさんは、御年７０過ぎのおじいさんでした。悪い人ではないんだろうけど、バスの中では、自分がスカイダイビングをして載った（自身で投稿？）地域のコミュニティー新聞みたいなやつを回覧させられ、生い立ちからスピリチュアル？みたいな宇宙の話、地球温暖化の話、等と正直何言ってるのか全くわかりませんでした。あの話はいらないです。

そして到着し、他のみなさんは講習を受けてはセスナに乗り込み、どんどん降下してこられていました。しかし、私たちは（私は飛ばなかったので同行者が）なぜか忘れられ、９時に到着したのに、セスナ出発は１１時過ぎになりました。（他の人たちは１０時前には全て終えていた。）

他の参加者が飛び終え、後から来た人もどんどん飛び終え、これは忘れられているのでは？と思い、時々、ドライバーのおじいさんに、「まだですか？」と聞いていましたが「順番だから」「まだかかるみたい」などと言って待たされ、ドライバーさんも、受付の人に聞きに行ってくれれば良いのに、それもなかなかせず。１時間半ほど経ったころにようやく聞きに行ってくれ、「書類が違うところに回されていたみたい」とか言われました。要は忘れられていたと。やっぱり黙っててはダメですね。こんなことなら自分で受付に聞きに行けば良かったです。

そうこうしてボーっと待っているところに、「ドン！」という音とともに、スタッフ達の「Oh No!」や「Emergency！」とかいう声。そして草むらに倒れる人。そしてやってきた救急車。ビックリしました。結局は上空からパラシュートが開かずに落ちたのではなく、最後の着地に失敗し、ちょっと落ちた？みたいなことだったようです。でも詳しくわからないし、本当に怖かったです。３０分くらいは倒れた状態から動かなかったし、スタッフもザワザワしていたし。結局、落ちた人は救急車に乗らず、その人の同行者が運転する自家用車で帰って行ったので、それほどの怪我ではなかったようです。でも、そんなんを見てから飛ぶなんて楽しみではなく恐怖ですよね。

ドライバーさんがちょっとアレな人。現地ではさんざん待たされ、そして事故を目の当たりにし、それによって更に待たされ、ようやく飛べたものの、天候はあまりよくないとのことで、最高高度を希望していましたが高度を下げられ（これは仕方がないことです）良い思い出は空の上だけです。

あと、雲が多いということで、高度を下げることになったから３０ドル返金してもらったのですが、それも、自分で受付に言いに行かないと返金しないシステムだったので、そこも不満です。言いに行かなければ返金しないなんておかしいですよね。現地は小さな事務所で、お客さんも１０人もいないくらいで把握しきれないわけでもないのに。

そしてそんなこんなで、あまりにも長時間待たされたので帰り際に受付に苦情を言いに行きましたが、さすが日本とは違いますね。本当に謝らない！書類が届くのが遅かったとか、書類が手違いで違うところに行っていたとか、天候がー、とかとか。あんまり英語も話せないので、言いたいことの半分も言えなかったのがくやしいです。言い訳ばっかりでした。自分は悪くないと。ドライバーさんは、自分は書類を提出したが受付が間違ったと言い張るし、受付は自分のせいじゃないと言うし。

そしてようやくワイキキに戻る時、ドライバーさんが言った「今日はいろんなトラブルがあったからね、ちょっと遅くなったけどねー。ハイすみませんでした。」という言葉に、もうツアー参加者全員沈黙でしたね。その言い方。。。
そしてその後、携帯電話で本部みたいなところに電話し、「問題なく終わりましたー。」という脳天気な報告にもイラッとしました。

ドライバーさんの意味不明な話。他の人たちは飛び終えてからの待ち時間、私たちは飛ぶ前の待ち時間。事故。申告しないと返金しないシステム。そして謝らない姿勢。

疲れました。

グアムでスカイダイブしたときは講習からすべてに至るまで素晴らしいサポートだったのになぁ。。

Reviewed by: ----------RHO----

I have hiked many of the popular attractions here on Oahu like Diamond Head, Manoa Falls, and Koko Head, but they have nothing as elegant as what the Huakai Iki hike has. We booked our tour, and was informed that the check in location is at the Aloha General Store. We were greeted by our wonderful guides Keola and Holly. We started venturing off on the private roads owned by Kamehameha Schools, Bishop Estate. We had excellent views of the agricultural land, the coastline of Haleiwa, the mountain ranges of both the Ko'olaus and Waianae! We had learned so much Hawaiian historical facts, such as endemic versus native species of plants and animals, special trees and plants such as the Koa tree, ohia lehua, and the strawberry guava tree. Keola and Holly are excellent guides! The one thing that I highly valued is that you can ask them anything! They will tell you if they know about it, and if they don't they will either call you or email me and give you the answer! Many other tour guides on other hikes, tend to come up with excuses, or falsified facts. But not Keola or Holly. We had great views of the swimming pools (water ponds), nice high clouds, and wonderful native plants. This is the best hiking tour that I have been on by far. I will definitely go out with north Shore Eco Tours again, for their Huakai Nui Hike! Mahalo Keola & Holly!

North Shore Hiking Tours from Haleiwa with Expert Local Guide & Lunch

This is the Way to See the North Shore!

Reviewed by: MeSoHappy

I learned a lot about the history of the North Shore on this tour and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Our guides Keola and Holly were knowledgeable in Hawaiian history and culture. They have exclusive access to this trail and I highly recommend going on this tour as you will not get the chance to see the North Shore like this with anyone else. It was a real treat for me. I appreciated that Keola asked for permission to enter the hiking trail in a traditional way.The hike itself was wonderful. We saw a lovely lehua blossom on the trail! The area is home to a number of rare native trees that I will leave to you to figure the name of. This hike is not for people who are out of shape. You will get a workout on the hike! If you appreciate learning about Hawaiian culture with legitimate information shared, the natural beauty of the North Shore, and to spend a day of your vacation in nature, this hike is for you. Way better than a luau!

Horseback riding is so much fun! 乗馬楽しいー！！

Reviewed by: テッツー

Since experiencing horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, I haven't been able to forget the joy of riding, so I participated in this horseback riding session. Although I was a bit anxious about this being my second time and a long ride, the result was... it was incredibly fun!!!

The horses are very well-trained and respond well. However, I think it has to be in English... (or is that just my imagination?). With just a few commands like "stop," "slowly," and "go," along with some control of the reins, they respond remarkably well. I felt that just controlling the reins alone wasn't very effective, but when I added verbal cues, they responded perfectly.

The horseback riding was so enjoyable that time flew by. I definitely want to participate again.

For North Shore tours, since there isn't much time available for riding, I highly recommend this for those who want to focus on horseback riding! That's why I give it a perfect score!!

I was able to experience more than I expected in terms of sightseeing. 額面以上の観光ができた

Although we got caught in traffic along the way, thanks to our guide's quick thinking, we took a detour and avoided a bad situation. On top of that, we were able to enjoy some great sightseeing on an unexpected route.

途中、渋滞に巻き込まれたが、ガイドさんの機転で回り道をしてひどいことは回避された。その上、予定外のコースを通っていい観光ができた。

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

The surf bus

Reviewed by: R Studley

The concept is great. Transport is reliable, clean and on time. The tour guide, Harry, was entertaining and very friendly. The only thing we would suggest is that surfing be offered as one of the activities - it is after all what the area is best known for!
I would recommend this for anyone who wants an active day.

North Shore Beaches Surf Bus Tour with Driver Sam

Reviewed by: The Lyons Lot

Our family of 6 adults from Brisbane Australia loved this whole day tour. Our driver / tour guide Sam picked us up from our hotel on time, & drove safely. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about Oahu, and explained all the sights on the way to the North Shore - he make the entire trip an awesome experience. He gave us a drive by & quick stop at each of the available activities before we chose them, then dropped us all to our chosen areas. 3 of us chose bike riding along the famous surfing beaches where we could stop and have beach time as we liked; the other 3 the walk through the beautiful gardens to the waterfall. Though a lovely walk, it is quite a long one, for anyone older. If you want a swim at the Falls, take cash for a compulsory life jacket hire! From there we walked back to Waimea Bay beach for a swim until our bus pick up. Our next activity for 4 of us was SUP (stand up paddle boarding) and 2 did kayaking. We LOVED this time on the water and would have liked to have a bit less time on the morning activities and more time for the afternoon ones! After, we walked through the town and sampled the Shaved Ice and some delicious lunch before boarding the bus completely satisfied with our day. We did several different tours while in Waikiki, and this was BY FAR the very best for the sightseeing, and activities on offer, plus the freedom to have our own time was fantastic. We were REALLY impressed with Sam the driver & happy to tip him well for his outstanding service - he contributed in a big way to making it the best tour during our time in Hawaii. Thank you Sam! I would highly recommend this tour, well worth it and we have great memories of our day.

Beach horseback riding 海辺乗馬

Reviewed by: しゅう

I think it's rare to have a horseback riding experience in such a natural setting. The paths are not overly maintained, which adds a casual and enjoyable feel. The guide provides attentive service in Japanese as you travel from the hotel to each point. There may be variations depending on traffic conditions and whether you encounter sea turtles, but it's best to participate with a relaxed mindset, keeping those factors in mind.

こんな自然の中で乗馬体験はなかなかできないと思います。整備されすぎていない道に日常的な感じがあって楽しいです。
ホテルから各ポイントまでは、ガイドさんが日本語で丁寧に対応してくれます。
交通状態よる時間的余裕の有無、海亀と遭遇できるかなど日によって左右される部分もあると思いますが、それらを了承した上で気持ちにゆとりをもって参加されるのがベストです。
