All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The event was canceled due to rain on the day. I was asked if I could come on another day, but since I was returning home the next day, I couldn't participate... It's better to make reservations with some flexibility in the dates! If I have another opportunity to go, I will definitely try again!

当日の雨で不催行となってしまいました。
他の日来れるかと聞かれましたが、翌日には帰国だった為体験出来ず、、、
日にちには余裕をもって予約した方がいいです！
また行く機会があれば、今度こそ！！

It was good but wasn’t much to do other then go from Hut to Hut and a lot of them were full and did not get to see.

I signed up for skydiving on a whim. Since we gathered at 4:50 AM, I wasn't too scared due to my sleepiness. Haha. Also, the moment we jumped, we were pushed out quite forcefully, so there wasn't really time to be scared, which was nice. It was a strange feeling without the typical stomach drop you get on roller coasters. People who have never jumped ask me if it was scary, but the only scary part was right before the jump. For those who are considering skydiving, I recommend just signing up without overthinking it!

ノリでスカイダイビングに応募しました。
朝4時50分集合だったため、眠気のお陰で
そこまで怖さはありませんでした。笑
そして飛ぶ瞬間も割とぐいぐい押されるので怖がっているヒマはなかったのもよかったです。
ジェットコースター特有の胃が浮く感じもなく、不思議な感覚でした。
飛んだことない人からは怖かったでしょ？と聞かれますが、怖かったのは飛ぶ直前だけです。
スカイダイビングしようか迷ってる方はとりあえず何も考えず勢いで申し込むことをおすすめします。

I might have needed to mention this beforehand, but if I was expecting a title like "Enjoy the Ranch with a Course That Suits You," there was no level check or inquiry about my preferences; it was just a slow, straightforward walk.

事前に言っておかなければならなかったのかもしれませんが、「あなたに合ったコースで牧場を満喫」というタイトルを期待していたら、レベルチェックも希望を聞かれることもなく、ただ淡々とゆっくり歩くだけでした。

Fantastic experience.
Plenty to do and see during the whole day.
Enjoyed the shows in each country.

I forgot that tipping is a culture in America! In addition to the above fees, you will need to pay separately:
- $20 for the photographer
- $20 for the instructor
- $10 for the driver for the round trip

I thought it would be cheaper than skydiving in Japan, but in the end, it wasn't that cheap.

The meeting time for Japanese participants was very early, around 4 AM. The Koreans and Americans had later times than us. Is it because we are diligent Japanese that the meeting time is set this way? It was tough since the meeting time was so early that I had no energy to do anything after getting home, which was around 1 PM.

The diving itself was fun, but I was worried because the instructor only provided casual guidance.

アメリカがチップ文化なのを忘れてました！
上記の料金の他に
・カメラマンに20ドル
・インストラクターに20ドル
・行き帰りの運転手に10ドル
が別途必要となります。

日本でスカイダイビングするより安く出来るー！と思って挑みましたが、結局そんな安くないです。

日本人の集合時間はとても早いので、集合時間は4時台でした。
韓国人やアメリカ人などは私たちより後の時間でした。
律儀な日本人だから、この時間設定なのでしょうか…集合時間がとても早いので、帰宅してから動く体力もなく、辛かったです。帰宅は13時頃。

ダイビング自体は楽しいですが、インストラクターがテキトーな指導しかしてくれなかったので心配でした。

I was really nervous until I took off, but once I was flying, it felt absolutely amazing!!!! It's something everyone should try at least once in their life.

飛ぶまではすごく緊張してましたが、
飛んでしまえば本当にさいっっっっこーーーーーーーーー！！！！
って気持ちになりました＼(^o^)／
人生に1度はやった方がいいですね(o^^o)

My son and I just did the 90 minute scenic tour. It was his first time and it was absolutely fantastic! The whole trail was very smooth and the view was breathtaking like no other. Our wranglers were very knowledgeable about the trail and very attentive. My son who is 8 absolutely enjoyed the ride and had no problem riding this trail. Definitely a ‘must activity’ at Gunstock Ranch!

There are individual differences, so I can't say for sure, but even someone like me who is not good with heights enjoyed it. The conversations are all in English, but the staff are all kind and teach you with gestures, making it a refreshing activity that leaves you smiling.

個人差があるので一概には言えませんが、高い所が苦手の私でも楽しめました。
会話は全て英語ですが、スタッフの方は皆親切で、ジェスチャーを交えて教えて頂けるし、スカッとして笑顔になれる新感覚のアクティビティです。

The pickup was late, and I waited for about 20 minutes. It seems there was a problem, but I would have appreciated some communication.

The half-day tour took us from one end of Oahu to the other. I didn't have high expectations based on the reviews, but it was great to visit places that you can only reach by rental car. At Hanauma Bay, we only took photos from above, but the clear blue water was beautiful. There were many people snorkeling to see the dead coral reefs. Haleiwa had a rural town atmosphere and was very photogenic, so I took a lot of pictures. We stopped at the Hawaiian Coral Factory, and I thought it would be nice to enjoy trying on some items. I also found rings for about $15 at the edge and purchased one.

At the Polynesian Cultural Center, I learned about the differences in dances from various regions and had various experiences. The hula dance show on the boat was definitely the most wonderful part.

For dinner, I upgraded to the middle class, received a fresh flower lei, and enjoyed my meal while watching the show.

時間通りに迎えが来ず、20分ほど待ちました。トラブルがあったようですが、連絡が欲しかったです。
半日観光は、オアフ島の端から端まで連れて行ってもらいました。レビューからあまり期待してませんでしたが、レンタカーをしないと巡れないようなところばかりでよかったです。ハナウマベイは上からみて写真を撮るだけでしたが、透き通った青がきれい。死んだサンゴ礁？を見るためにシュノーケルしてる人がいっぱい。ハレイワは田舎町のような雰囲気でフォトジェニックだったので、たくさん撮りました。途中でハワイアンコーラルファクトリーに寄りますが、試着を楽しめばいいかなと思いました。端っこに15ドルくらいの指輪も並んでたので購入。
ポリネシアン文化センターでは、いろんな地域のダンスの違いを知り、いろんな体験ができます。船上のフラダンスショーがやっぱり一番素敵でした。
夕飯は真ん中のクラスにアップデートし、生花のレイをかけてもらい、ショーを見ながら食べました。

The horseback riding time was quite long, and I enjoyed walking along the coast. I felt that the Dole Plantation wasn't really necessary.

乗馬の時間は結構長く、海沿いも歩いたので楽しめました。
ドールプランテーションは要らなかったかなーという感じです

I had the image of a staff member leading each horse for a walk, but instead, it was really nice to see them trotting along freely.

1人ずつ係りの人が馬を引いて散歩するイメージがありますが、それではなくパカパカとお散歩する感じがとても良かったです。

I arrived a little late to the meeting place, but it was a lot of fun. The main purpose was horseback riding, but I was also able to stroll around the town of Haleiwa (the garlic chicken was delicious). Although I didn't see any turtles due to the season, I was excited to see a seal during the horseback riding. The horses are cute and gentle, making it a great option for beginners.

待ち合わせ場所には少し遅れて迎えがきましたが、とても楽しかったです。
目的は、乗馬でしたがハレイワの街を散策出来たり（フリフリチキンが美味しかったです。）時期的にカメはお目にかかれませでしたが乗馬の時にアザラシがいてテンション上がりました。馬も可愛いし、おとなしいので初心者にもオススメです。

This was on my bucket list, and definitely worth the wait!!! If I ever get back to North Shore, I will definitely be doing this again!! The crew was awesome!! So friendly, and willing to help whether someone needed help or had a question. Mahalo!

This is the tour for people who like to be on there own once they get there. This is broken into two parts morning activity and afternoon activity. You have a fully narrated ride over to the North Shore telling you virtually everything about the island. Also all landmarks are pointed out. You arrive get snacks if needed. You are then dropped off at your first activity. The falls etc. Pk up time is set you meet back at bus and your off to bike,kayak,shop or lunch or whatever. Your pk up time is set for your hassle free ride back to waikiki. All fully narrated back. Worth every penny. AC was our guide and knew everything about the island. Was the highlight of our trip.

There were more sharks than I expected, haha. However, it was a bit disappointing that the seawater was slightly murky due to heavy rain the day before. That said, it was an issue unrelated to the tour, and since it was my first experience with the tour, it turned out to be a great experience!

予想していたよりもサメがうようよいてました笑
ただ前日まで豪雨だったので海水が若干濁り気味だったのが残念でした。
とは言ってもツアーとは関係ない問題で、ツアー自体は初めての経験だったので良い経験になりました！

I participated with two friends.
At the bus stop, there were many buses in the same place, and while I was looking for my bus on the road, I almost missed it.
The Japanese guide was very straightforward and funny.
Once we arrived, we had free time until the return trip.
First, we had a buffet, and since we had a little time, we looked at photos and souvenirs in the park and watched a show.
The buffet for regular guests was Western food that was a bit bland for Japanese people.
Foreign children seemed to enjoy it.

友達2人で参加しました。
バスの乗り場には、同じ場所にバスが沢山いて、車道でバスを探していたらバスに乗りそびれそうになってしまいました。
ガイドの日本人の方はとてもズバズバ話される方で面白かったです。
着いたら帰りまでは、自由行動です。
まずビュッフェを食べてから、少し時間があったので園内の写真やお土産をみて、ショーを観ました。
普通の方のビュッフェは、日本人には大味な洋食です。
外国の子供は喜んでいる様子でした。

It takes about two hours to get to Gunstock Ranch by taking The Bus number 55 from Ala Moana. After passing by Kualoa Ranch, you will find Gunstock Ranch further ahead. There is only a sign along the road, so I almost missed the bus stop at Kamehameha Hwy + Opp 56-155. After getting off the bus and walking down the road marked by the sign, I arrived at Gunstock Ranch, where I could hear cheerful voices from a children's swimming class.

I arrived quite a bit earlier than the check-in time, so I spent some time playing with the horses and goats. After listening to the safety instructions, I decided not to wear a helmet and signed a separate waiver form. About 30 minutes into the horseback riding, we reached a hill where we could see the surrounding scenery, and Grace and Chad, who guided us, took some photos for us. The staff were very friendly and helped my mother, who doesn't understand English at all and is inexperienced with horseback riding, feel comfortable. I had a fulfilling two hours riding along a path covered with jungle-like trees on a very friendly horse, an experience I don't usually get to enjoy. I definitely want to visit again.

アラモアナから55番のThe Busに乗ること約2時間、クアロア牧場を通り過ぎ、さらに行ったその先にGunstock Ranchがあります。道路沿いからは看板が立っているだけなので、バス停である、Kamehameha Hwy + Opp 56-155 というバス停をあわや見逃しそうに・・・　バスから降り、看板が立っている道を奥に進んでいくと、子供のスイミング教室から楽しそうな声が聞こえるGunstock Ranchにたどり着きました。
受付時間よりだいぶ早く着いてしまったので、馬やヤギと戯れながら時間を潰し、注意事項などを聞いて、私はヘルメットをかぶらないことにしたので、別途既定の用紙へサインをしました。乗馬を開始すること30分、あたりの景色を一望出来る丘の上にたどり着き、案内をしてくれたGraceとChadに写真を撮ってもらいました。とっても気さくなスタッフの方々で、英語が全くわからず乗馬にも不慣れな私の母をしっかりとリードしてくれました。ジャングルのような木々に覆われた道をとてもフレンドリーな馬と進む、普段味わえない充実した2時間を過ごすことができました。またぜひ訪れたいと思います。

This is a place you definitely should visit when you come to Hawaii. You can experience the lifestyle of the Polynesian islands' people, such as weaving crowns from palm leaves by hand! There’s also a performance by a funny Hawaiian guy who climbs tall palm trees like a monkey to get coconuts, which is very entertaining and fulfilling. Booking through Veltra is the cheapest option, and I really had a great time!

ハワイに来たら、必ず行った方が良い所です、
ポリネシアンの島々の人達の生活振りやヤシの葉を手で編んで
冠を作ったりなどの体験も出来ます！
ハワイアンの面白いおっちゃんが高いヤシの木に猿の様に登って
ココナッツ取るなどのパフォーマンスもあってとっても面白く充実して
います、ベルトラで申し込むのが１番安いし本当に楽しかったです！

It was my first time riding a horse, but the horse was very calm, and even beginners could enjoy it. The riding course along the coast had beautiful scenery, and I was very satisfied.

The only disappointing part was the guide. Although he was a Japanese person who had lived in Hawaii for a long time, he forgot our group during the hotel pickup that morning and left without us. We had to call the hotel we were staying at, and finally, he came back to pick us up. However, his apology felt insincere, and he seemed to have no bad intentions, which made us feel bad for the other tour guests who were with us. That was the only disappointing part.

乗馬は初めてでしたが、とてもおとなしく初心者でも楽しむことができました。また、乗馬コースも海沿いでとてもきれいな景色で満足でした。
ひとつだけ残念だったのが、ガイドさんです。ハワイに長く住む日本人の方でしたが、当日朝のホテルピックアップの時点で私たちのグループだけ忘れられていて、ピックアップされず先に進んでしまったそうです。泊まっていたホテルの方に電話してもらい、ようやく車に戻ってきてもらうことができました。しかし、謝り方も適当で悪気ない様子で、逆に私たち方が同乗していた他のツアー客の方に悪いと感じてしまうようでした。そこだけが残念でした。

What an incredible experience! We got to see % sharks and they continued to swarm the cage the whole time! The crew were great! Super nice, very knowledgeable and informative. Made sure we had a great experience, My 8 & 11 year old sons loved it! Perfect for the kids! It was one of the highlights of our trip!

This was my second time skydiving, and it was just as amazing as the first! Since I knew what to expect, I felt a bit more excitement than during my first jump. On the day of the jump, the weather was bad in the morning, with a downpour and it was cold, but after waiting, we were able to jump. While ascending in the helicopter, I saw a big rainbow, and it made the rain worth it. It was a really great experience! I was completely fine during my first jump, but this time I felt a bit nauseous, so I wished I had brought some motion sickness medication.

今回2度目のスカイダイビングでしたが、やっぱり最高です！
どうやるか分かってる為、ドキドキ感は1回目よりあった気がきます。
当日朝天気が悪く、スコールが降り寒かったのですが、待ちに待って、飛ぶ事ができました。
ヘリ？で登ってるときに、おっきい虹が見れて雨が降った甲斐があったなーと、、
とても、いい体験になりました！
私は一回目は全然平気だったのですが、今回少し酔った気がしたので酔い止めあったらよかったなと思いました。

I was able to eat a lot of my favorite foods, and they were delicious, leaving me completely full. The post-meal show, with the dance while spinning fire, had me on the edge of my seat and my heart racing.

食事も好きなものをたくさん食べれて美味しくてお腹一いっぱい。
食後のショー、火をグルグル回しながらのダンスなんてこちらが手に汗握りドキドキしました

I drove from Honolulu.
The entrance is easy to find because there are signs.

You can take a leisurely horseback ride along the beach, and the photos turned out great with the ocean as the backdrop.
This is my third time horseback riding in Hawaii, but if you want to ride by the beach, this is the best place to go!
I apologize for sharing my experience a year later. I will make a reservation next month!

ホノルルから車で行きました。
看板があるので入口は分かりやすいです。

海辺をゆっくり乗馬しながら散歩でき、写真もとってもいい感じに、海をバッグに撮っていただけました。
ハワイの乗馬いくのはここで、3こめですが海辺を乗馬したいなら一番おすすめです！
体験談一年後になりごめんなさい。来月予約します！

Did the same dive with One Ocean last year and was so impressed I had to do this again. This time, the sharks were even more curious as to our presence and came up quite close to us at 4-5 feet distance on some pass bys. Got some incredible 4K video on the footage. Sophie and Kevin were very enthusiastic about their work and Sophie’s passion for researching sharks really shows, giving everyone information about what we saw in he water with specific characteristics and personalities of certain sharks that they frequently see. Thanks again to Sophie and Kevin and see you guys for the 3rd time hopefully soon!

Part 2 of things I want to try in life! I flew with my 18-year-old son. It was amazing. A memory I will never forget. Hawaii is a place where dreams come true! I will work hard every day so I can come back soon. Thank you for helping me realize my dreams.

人生やってみたいことのパート2！18歳になった息子と
飛んでみました。サイコーです。一生忘れない思い出です。ハワイは夢を叶える場所！またすぐ戻ってこれるよう、毎日頑張ってはたらきまーす。
夢実現のお手伝いをありがとうございました

It was my first skydiving experience with my two daughters. My daughter was feeling anxious, but thanks to the staff's excellent guidance, she was able to relax and said it was the best experience. The photos turned out great, and we were satisfied. However, it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't get a video. We left something in the car on the way back, but we were able to contact them right away, and they brought it to the pickup location, which was a great help. My daughter said she would love to do it again as many times as possible if given the chance. Thank you very much!

娘２人と初めてのスカイダイビングでした。娘が不安がっていましたがスタッフの方がうまく誘導してくれたおかげでリラックスできたようで最高の体験が出来たと喜んでいました。
写真も上手く撮れていて満足でした。ただムービーが撮れていなかったので少し残念でした。
帰りの車で忘れ物をしましたが、すぐに連絡がつきピックアップ場所まで持ってきてくださり助かりました。
機会があれば何回でもしたいと娘が言っていました。
ありがとうございました、

Finally... I was taken to a souvenir shop for black coral???

The worst!!

Everyone who participated came out empty-handed.

What was that???

You must be getting a rebate from the souvenir shop, right??

Is it the company??? Or the individual who took us there!!

As a business owner, I understand everything. (This is my advice)

I always use your company.

Next time, if there are no issues like this, I will use you again!!

最後に・・・黒サンゴ？？？のお土産屋さんに連れていかれた！！

最悪！！

参加した人が全員手ぶらで出て来ました。


あれは？？？

お土産さんからリベート頂いてますよね！！

会社か？？？連れてった個人がね！！


私は経営者だからすべてわかります。（私からのアドバイスです）

いつも貴社を使わして頂いてます。

次回は？？？こんな事がなければ使いますけどね！！

What a totally enjoyable day. Well worth it. I recommend getting the group guided tour inside the Center to save time and get a better experience.

Compared to some ranches, there are hardly any Japanese people, and if you're okay with only English, I highly recommend it! The location is North Shore, just a few minutes by car from Giovanni's. After the activities, you can enjoy sightseeing in Haleiwa and also try garlic shrimp, so definitely go for it!

某牧場と比べて、日本人はほぼいないし、英語のみでも大丈夫なら非常にオススメです！場所はノースショア、ジョバンニから車で数分です。アクティビティ後にハレイワ観光、ガーリックシュリンプも楽しめるので是非！
