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

oyamajeo@comcast.net

Reviewed by: oyamajeo@comcast.net

This was an awesome tour. The driver was local and gave lots of information about the area...what it used to be and what it is now. Many changes in 45 years. There was plenty of free time to explore. That was the best!

Luxurious horseback riding environment 贅沢な乗馬環境

Reviewed by: 家族旅行

This year, we went horseback riding again at my daughter's request. Since this was the only place where we could enjoy the seaside, we chartered a car and went for the first time. It was very pleasant, and the wonderful environment and scenery were the epitome of luxury. There is no shuttle service, so it can be inconvenient for those who don't drive, but I think it's worth chartering a ride to experience the vast nature, and I highly recommend it. Since they don't speak Japanese, just smile!

娘の希望で今年も乗馬。海辺を満喫できるのはこちらしか無かったので、車をチャーターして初めて行きました。とても気持ちよく、素晴らしい環境と景色は贅沢の極みでした~。送迎も無いので、運転しない方には不便ば場所ではありますが、チャーターして出向く価値のある広大な自然に大満足されると思いますのでお勧めです。日本語が通じないので、そこば笑顔で!

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

Tasting the tricks and treats of Oahu

Reviewed by: Dan from Denver

The "Surf Bus" Rocked my world, got timed out and lost my heartfelt compliments. I can't rewrite my praises. It does not do justice. Going to try:
Sam was an amazing guide, the playing, eating, and listening on the North Shore, my taste of heaven. Just visualize; Sea Turtles, tidal pools and an eye to eye with an Eagle Ray, food to die for, and 1000 reasons to keep coming back. An awesome "build your own burger". Surprise yourself and go for it! Not a sit and stare tour, unless your waiting for a set, or focused on sea turtles. You still get to do your driving. Came back exhausted and completed. 50 years in and now I figure out happy. Better late than never.
Mesmerized by the bright smiles, and sense of community that emerged as we talked through our day. 20 people, 5 countries and a bevy of dialects. It was right Kraky, but no worries mate.
@Sam, the Tiki was truly over that rainbow.
Mahalo nui loa!!!

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

Unbelievable Experience

Reviewed by: Kyle

What an amazing outdoor experience! This hike is a must do if you'd like to get a better understanding of the hidden nature Hawaii has to offer. Our guides, Keola and Marcella, shared a wealth of knowledge and gave us an unforgettable and valuable tour of the forested region of Oahu. Some parts of the trail are strenuous, so be prepared with some good hiking shoes/boots and plenty of water. We also had the opportunity to taste the fruit the trail had to offer, simply delicious. I highly recommend trying this hike if you plan on visiting the North Shore.

Thank you very much for participating. We are truly sorry to hear that you felt unwell due to the high waves. The height of the waves can be affected by the weather on the day, but for those who are concerned, we recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance, as noted on the activity page. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

Enjoyable tour with lots to do

Reviewed by: loveoahu13

Best way to visit the North Shore Area. There is so much to do on this tour I only wished it had lasted longer. We snorkeled at sharks cove where we saw beautiful fish and sea turtles, swam under a waterfall at Waimea Valley, visited sunset beach and turtle beach. We then hung out and ate in Haleiwa town. There are different options to choose from depending on your package. We missed Waimea bay - could not fit into schedule. Maybe next time. Highly recommend if you are NOT renting a car.

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

One Of A Kind Experience!

Reviewed by: MR1977

I can't recommend a better way to capture the essence of Hawaii than on this beach trail ride. The scenery is beautiful, relaxing and the overall experience made our trip that much more memorable. We saw sea turtles and even caught a glimpse of an endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal. The horses are very well trained polo ponies that do trail rides in their spare time. ...just another reason that makes this ride unique. The guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. we will be back!

Enjoying the cowboy vibe! カーボーイ気分満喫!

Reviewed by: たけい

After a comfortable drive of just over an hour from Waikiki towards the North, I spotted the GUNSTOCK sign and felt a rush of excitement. The expansive ranch, along with the goats and horses, was truly soothing and impressive.

While horseback riding, I leisurely enjoyed the scenery, and at the top of the hill, a breathtaking view unfolded, making me feel refreshed. Riding while holding the reins myself really allowed me to fully embrace the cowboy experience.

In domestic horseback riding, there is usually someone to lead the horse, and you typically go around a designated area. However, here, I was able to ride alone on the well-trained horses until my backside hurt. However, no one spoke Japanese at all, but it didn't cause any particular inconvenience.

国内の乗馬だとたいてい馬を引いてくれる人がいて、決められたところを1周とかですが、
ここでは、慣れたお馬さんたちに、一人で乗りお尻が痛くなるまで乗れました。

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Without a doubt, the best thing I did all week.

Reviewed by: Rob R

When my friend asked me to do this with him, I was a bit hesitant. Not knowing what to expect, my imagination relived several scenes in "Jaws". After doing some research and coming to the realization that North Shore does this on a daily basis without people loosing limbs, I agreed. It turned out to be an absolutely phenomenal experience. We arranged for the hotel pickup and once in the van, took the 45 minute ride to the North Shore area of Oahu. Once at the marina, it's about a 20-30 minute ride out to the cage. The Captain went over all the safety instructions thoroughly and describes what types of sharks we would be seeing. His shark lecture was very informative and wasn't stumped when questions were asked. Once at the site, the cage is secured to the side of the boat and after the 8-10 passengers get in, the cage is allowed to float away about 20 feet. Observing the sharks was a thing of beauty and simply can't be described in words. I would do this again in a heartbeat.

Reviewed by: KellyB

This would have been an awesome trip if it hadn't been ruined by motion sickness. And I wasn't the only one affected, there were 6 other people hanging their heads over the side of the boat with me. This excursion is definately a do-over only next time I'll take the morning trip and start loading up on dramamine the night before. I want to mention, though, that the captain and crew were very nice and knowledgeable of sharks and shark conservation and I will go with this company again.

Aloha Karmine, We apologize that we didn't exceed your expectations this time, We will strive to do better on the next. We upgraded our cage less than a year ago and it is now about 65% bigger than it was back 3 years ago. Being the shark tour with the biggest cage, we currently average 5 - 8 people maximum at any given time. We have upgraded our boats within the past 2 years since 3 of our boats were burned back in 2011. We hope to better service you on your next trip out here.

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Unique Activity

Reviewed by: Lin

Getting in the water with sharks was definitely a unique afternoon! Our hosts weren't especially talkative but knew what they were doing and we all got a turn. If you're going to get in the water with sharks I suggest this company because of the plexiglass on the side of the cage. None of the pictures I took through the bars turned out because of the light reflection! Also arrive early to the dock! The sign is tiny, faded and at the far end of a parking lot. Took us 20 minutes to find where to go after arriving.
