All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The grounds are beautiful and larger than I expected. We allowed an hour to explore the grounds but could have easily spent 2-3 hours looking at all of the scenery. The luau was a lot of fun. There were some hands-on activities before we were seated which were fun. Once seated, we had a great meal and were offered seconds. I could barely finish my 1st plate:)
The entertainment was truly fun. Lots of stories, dancing, singing and some comedy. The closing of the show had fire dancers and one was a 10-year-old boy who could twirl the fire stick outrageously fast. Overall, this was a great experience which I would do again if I were in Honolulu with a car.

What can I say about “uncle” Kevin…he was the best! He’s filled with so much information about the island and we could sit and listen for hours. We did snorkeling and SUP. While snorkeling we saw a whale! While SUP we saw turtles…AMAZING!!!

Hannah and Hayden were amazing! They picked fruit for us to try (which made the trip even better!), showed us a cave that we were able to look into, let us feed the cows and were just good people to talk with. The property is beautiful…especially from the top while eating a delicious dinner. We would 100% go back and do it again.

We had an amazing time and having the guides we did (we don’t remember their names but it was three ladies) made the experience even better! They got to know us and made the whole experience comfortable and fun! We do think the part where you pull yourself up should stay!! We had a great time trying to race to the top. Thank you for making something we were scared to do so fun!!!!

Beautiful space, beautiful people. You can tell that those who work there love their jobs. Great experience and I would definitely go back! Great to learn about all the cultures and the luau topped off a perfect day

Uncle Kevin was awesome. Friendly n funny great host/driver. Enjoyed our tour had a great time we did hike to waterfall n kayaking. Worth the money. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy north shore with some history/information. Read in other review that it was rushed but that’s not how it was at all at least not with our driver uncle Kevin.

Megan, Hollywood and Sarah are amazing guides and made the entire experience super enjoyable for everyone. Thrilling activity if you are scared of heights. Personally, I’m not but still enjoyed the lovely scenery and challenge of learning a new activity.

Horses were relaxed and enjoyed the ride as much as we did. Great views and interesting history.

My husband and I had a great time. We had plenty of time in the cage and felt 100% safe. There were dozens of sharks the entire time we spent in the cage. They were so magnificent.This has been on my bucket list for quite some time. There was a huge storm that rolled in and the team was so accommodating to help me move and keep this appointment knowing how much it meant to me. It was an experience I will never forget. Thank you for this priceless memory!

Could you send me the photos you took over there? It would have been great if you could have taken pictures with fewer people in nature!

そちらで撮った写真は送っていただけないのでしょうか？
自然の中でもっと人が映らないように写真撮ってくれたら最高でした！

There was no shuttle service, and the location was hard to find. I struggled with only English. I wish the buggy course was a bit longer. Given this, the price should also be reconsidered.

送迎もなく場所がわかりずらい、英語onlyで苦労した。バギーのコースももう少し長くしてほしい。これなら値段も考慮すべき。

We learned a lot about the Polynesian culture through the activities and demonstrations. Dinner was okay. But the breath of life show after was fantastic.

Great tour
Fantastic experience
One in a lifetime opportunity don't miss.
Fantastic crew

I ended up going pelagic diving on Christmas Eve, and it was truly one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Sharks are my biggest fear, this was my opportunity to face them. It was comforting for me that the crew gets in the water right along side you.They were very down to earth people, and genuinely create an environment where you feel safe. At a few points I started to slightly freak out as the sharks got uncomfortably close and the crew swam right alongside me and reassured me that I’d be fine, and they would keep them away if they came any closer. I was able to tough out the experience and got out of the water exhilarated, shaking, and completely in awe of what had I had experienced. I am left a memory that I will never forget / take for granted. I would 100% do it again , and I recommend this crew to all of my friends.. I wouldn’t chose any other charter!

I was a bit worried about the weather, but since it was covered, a little rain wasn't a problem. I went on an off-road tour with a family member who has difficulty walking, but the guide was very accommodating, which was great.

お天気が少し心配でしたが、屋根付きなので多少の雨であれば問題ありませんでした。足が悪い家族と一緒のオフロードツアーでしたが、ガイドさんにもよくしていただき良かったです。

Cody Park was my ASL interpreter and he really made the experience so fun!!! 4 hours went by so fast!!! Wish we had more time!!

I liked the individual ATVs! And the farm was beautiful

I woke up at 3 AM and finished a 10 km walk that started at 5 AM, arriving at the hotel just before 8 AM, feeling quite dehydrated. After cooling my lower body in the shower to prevent muscle soreness, I replenished fluids without eating anything and took a taxi I had booked for 8:30 to Pacific Skydiving Center (136 dollars plus a 15% tip). I arrived at 9:20, and it seemed like it would take about 40 minutes if there wasn't much traffic. I heard there were Uber rides available for around 80 dollars, but since it was busy with the Honolulu Marathon and I was worried about not being able to secure a ride back, I decided to take a taxi for the return trip as well. Little did I know how that decision would turn out later!

The check-in was at 10 AM, and skydiving was at 11 AM, so I had plenty of time. Perhaps due to dehydration from the 10 km walk, I wasn't hungry and didn't eat the food I brought or the cup noodles sold at check-in while waiting for the flight. I think this decision also affected the outcome later.

At the site, my English was poor, but I managed to communicate with the guide and another cameraman in broken English. They took great photos for me.

Now, regarding my condition in the air, the one-minute free fall made it difficult to breathe since my mouth was wide open, but I managed! When the parachute opened, I felt relieved, but then it turned into a nightmare. As we descended, we made turns left and right, and for someone unaccustomed like me, it felt like I was spinning out of control, and I quickly became dizzy. The rapid, repeated turns caused such jolts that I felt like my stomach was about to come out of my mouth, and I started feeling nauseous in the air. If I threw up here, I might shower the guide who was closely attached to my back or the other customers above, so I desperately held it in. Perhaps because I focused on this, I finally ran out of strength and, from the second half of the parachute descent, I was like a limp rag doll hanging there! I landed safely, but I was so weak that I leaned on the cameraman. After that, I threw up twice in the office restroom, but since I hadn't eaten anything, not much came out. I shudder to think what would have happened if I had eaten; perhaps I would have felt better and avoided this situation.

During the ride, I mentioned to the taxi driver that I would take an Uber back, so I didn't need him for the return. He then negotiated with me for 130 dollars without a tip, which was a bit high, but I thought it was okay! We shook hands and agreed, so the driver stayed at the local airfield. This way, he got to watch me take off energetically and then land feeling exhausted, rushing to the restroom twice.

Because of this, on the way back, he delayed the departure a bit to let me rest on a bench, brought a paper bag for my nausea from the airfield, and drove smoothly without sudden starts or stops, showing great hospitality all the way to the hotel. When I got out, he kindly spoke to me, and feeling moved for a different reason, I gave him a tip, which I hadn't planned to do, and we shook hands before parting ways.

In this way, I think it's best to approach skydiving when you're not tired, dehydrated, or lacking proper meals and sleep. By the way, everyone else who went skydiving seemed to be enjoying themselves!

Looking back, I realized I have a hard time with thrill rides like roller coasters and centrifugal force rides like teacups, generally anything that involves G-forces. I never expected that I would feel so dizzy from the parachute during this skydiving experience, so it might be tough for those who are sensitive to G-forces.

Overall, this experience was invaluable, and I am very satisfied. However, whether I will challenge it again next time... I think I will consider that while consulting with my body.

朝3時に起きて、午前5時スタートの10kmウォークを終えホテルに着いたのが8時前で、かなり脱水してました。筋肉痛予防にシャワーで下半身を冷やした後、食事を摂らずに水分だけ補給し、8時半に予約したタクシーに乗ってPacific Skydiving Centerまで移動（136ドル＋チップ15%）。到着は9時20分で、混まなかったら40分くらいなようです。Uberなら80ドル代のクルマもあったみたいですが、ホノルルマラソンで混んでいて予約が取れないと困るので帰りもタクシーにしました。この判断が後々ああなるとは・・・！
受付は10時、スカイダイビングは11時なので、ゆとりがありましたね。10kmウォークでの脱水症状のためか腹が空いておらず、持参した食べ物や、受付で販売していたカップ麺などは食べずにフライトを待ちました。この判断もまた、後の結果に関わったと思います。
現地では、私は英語下手でしたが、一緒に飛ぶガイドさんや別のカメラマンの方とは、カタことの英語で何とかクリア。キチンと撮影もしてくれました。
さて、本題の空中での体調ですが、1分間のフリーフォールは口を全開にしたため呼吸しにくいものの、なんとかクリア！その後パラシュートを開いた時は、ホッと安心したのですが、この後地獄となりました。下降する際、左右に旋回するのですが、慣れない私にはきりもみ状態で落ちていくような感覚で、直ぐに目が回ってしまいました。更に左・右旋回が急激に何回も繰り返されたため、ターンが切り替わるたびにかかる衝撃で胃袋が口から出そうになり、空中で吐き気を催しました。ここで吐いたら背中にピッタリついているガイドさんや、上空にいる他のお客さんに逆シャワーを浴びせかねませんので、死ぬ気で我慢しました。この事に集中したためか、ついに力尽き、パラシュートの後半からは、だらんと吊るされたワラ人形状態でした！無事に着陸しましたが、腰が抜けてカメラマンに寄りかかったくらいです。その後事務所のトイレで2回戻しましたが、何も食べていなかったのでほとんど出ませんでした。食べていたらと思うとゾッとしますが、食べていたら体調が良くなって、こんな状態にならなかったのかもしれません。
タクシーの運転手さんとは行く道すがら、帰りはUberにするから要らないよと話してました。すると運転者さんが130ドルのチップなしでどうだ？と交渉してきたので、ちょっと高いけどまぁいいか！と握手して交渉成立しておいたため、運転者さんは現地飛行場に残っていました。なので私が元気に飛び立ち、そしてヘロヘロになって着陸し、2回トイレに駆け込む姿をしっかりとウォッチしててくれました。
そのため、帰りには出発を少し遅らせ私をベンチに寝かせてくれたり、アレ用の紙袋を飛行場から持ってきてくれたり、走行では急発進や急ブレーキなどGのかからない運転をしてくれたりと、ホスピタリティ溢れるドライビングでホテルまで送ってくれました。降車の時も優しく声をかけてくれて、違う意味で感動した私は交渉ではゼロだったはずのチップを渡し、握手して別れました。
このように、スカイダイビングは疲れていたり、脱水症状があったり、食事をきちんと摂っていなかったり、睡眠不足だったりせずに、万全な体調で挑まれた方が宜しいかと思います。ちなみに私以外のダイビングされた方は、皆さん喜んでいらっしゃいましたよ！
それから、思い起こせば私は、ジェットコースターなどの絶叫系や、コーヒーカップなどの遠心力系、総じてGがかかる系のアトラクションが苦手でした。
今回のスカイダイビングで、まさかあんなにパラシュートでグルグル目がまわるとは思ってませんでしたので、G系が苦手な方は厳しいのかもしれません。
私今回の体験、総じて貴重な体験となりましたので大満足です。ただし、次回チャレンジするかは・・・、体と相談しながら考えたいと思います。

I was able to participate with peace of mind, trusting the instructor! They kindly gave multiple lectures on how to jump and land, making the experience easy to understand.

インストラクターの方に身を任せ、安心して、参加できました！飛び方や着地の仕方など、親切に何回もレクチャーしていただき、わかりやすく体験できました。

My husband and I took the North Shore Tour hoping to get a bit of everything - activities, beach, relaxation and fun. We got what we wanted and more. We had Cousin G who made everyone feel comfortable and entertained, and made the tour engaging and funny.
The tour had a good balance of free/activity time and many choices to choose from. We did the waterfall and kayaking option and was one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii.
We also got the chance to sight see the east and north side of Oahu and had many stops for photos and breaks.
We felt like we got our moneys worth from this trip and got to see and do a lot on the island in just a 8am - 5pm timeframe.

Great ATV Experience! Highly recommended place and people working there are so nice and welcoming

I am a repeat visitor.

I also go horseback riding in Oahu, but I think this horseback riding experience is the best.

I believe I will be back next year. I had a really great time. Thank you very much.

リピーターです。

他にもオアフでは乗馬をしていますが、こちらの乗馬がいちばん素晴らしいと思います。

また、来年お世話になると思います。
本当に楽しかったです。
ありがとございました。

We had an excellent driver in Cousin Elaine. Very informative and funny. The PCC is so amazing. Each island was so well done and the entertainment at each one was very different and very good. The food trucks were delicious also. We really enjoyed the tram ride over to the temple. The sister missionaries were so sweet. The PCC is a definite must see on the island. 5 stars ⭐️ for sure.

My partner and I loved it! Such an amazing experience. We saw lots more sharks than expected - the staff were all friendly and made the whole experience as wonderful as possible.
We highly recommend!

It was a wonderful day that we felt sorry when we were back to our hotels. Our guide was amazing. He was wonderful storyteller. We enjoyed every moment. We saw breathtaking views, ate the tastiest shrimps ever. We also enjoyed the best Dole Whip from plantation center.

We spent Amazing time there. Friendly team. Well organized. I liked how they explained everything in details before we start for our safety & knowledge. I surely recommend it. the photos & videos were professionally taken.

For about an hour, we just went around a muddy path.
The scenery was quite simple.
I would be satisfied if the price were about half...

約一時間、泥んこの道？をグルグル回るだけでした。
単純な風景ばかりでした。
半分くらいの料金なら納得ですが···

During my stay on Oahu, I always make sure to visit the North Shore, regardless of the season. I usually rent a car for the duration of my stay, but rental car prices have skyrocketed since the end of the pandemic.

Since I'm familiar with the North Shore, I decided to use a shuttle service instead of renting a car. Although I didn't have any activities planned, I was able to spend a decent amount of time there and was satisfied with my visit. If I had done activities like horseback riding, I would have had very little time left. Not having to drive made it quite easy for me. I think this is a good option.

オアフ島滞在時には必ず季節を問わずノースショアにはいっています。いつもはレンタカーを滞在期間中借りているのですが、コロナ明けでレンタカー料金はバカ高い。
そこで、勝手知ったるノースショアですので、レンタカーの代替として送迎のみで利用しました。アクティビティなしなので、滞在時間は十分とは言えませんが、それなりに取れ満足です。乗馬などをするとほとんど滞在時間はなくなりそうです。車を運転しないので、結構ラクチンでした。こういう方法もありだなと思います。

My wife and I went on this adventure while in Oahu on our honeymoon. We thought there would be multiple groups on our tour, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out it was only us and our guide. While the views, terrain, history, and overall experience was absolutely incredible, the game changer in this was our guide, Keoki. He was one of the most genuine, friendly, and passionate people that we have ever met. He went as to far as to welcome my wife and I into his Ohana and shared the meaning and importance of the "Aloha Spirit" with us, and truly made us feel welcome on not just the tour, but also on the island.

I cannot recommend this tour, or Keoki as a guide, enough. We had such a wonderful experience and will be back to see them next time we are on Oahu!

Mahola, Keoki! - Hunter

I was so scared I woud chcken out but what an experience!
