The circle island tour seemed rushed and we didn't stop anywhere once we passed the Dole Plantation. We basically cruised passed all the beaches on the north shore. Diamondhead was looked at from the front side but nothing was really brought up about it. The things we saw were nice but I wish we would have had more time exploring them. Once we got to the PCC this were great. The performers were top notch and the show was very educational and entertaining. The food was excellent and non-stop. The half day at the PCC was more than enough to see everything I wanted to see. Once the tour guide picked us up, we heard a little too much about his personal life for the hour plus ride home. My recommendation is if you want to see the entire island for a tour, don't include the PCC as a stop and just do it on another day.

Horseback riding on the beautiful beach was amazing. The horses were participating in a polo match, but they were calm, and I felt safe riding them. I heard there was a polo match on Sunday, and I wanted to go see it if I had the time, but unfortunately, I couldn't. Riding in such beautiful scenery felt refreshing, and I really enjoyed it!
きれいなビーチでの乗馬は最高。ポロ試合に出ている馬たちだったがおとなしく、安心して乗っていられました。日曜日にポロ試合があると言っていたので時間があれば観に行きたかったが、かなわず残念。美しい景色の中での乗馬は心が洗われるようで、楽しかったです♪

We participated as a family of four. Although there were four adults, it was everyone's first experience walking along the beach on horseback, and we all got really excited. The instructor was also kind and spoke to us in English. Each horse had its own personality, and there were some unexpected moments, like when a horse wouldn't move, but it was a very enjoyable activity that allowed us to connect with living creatures. When we go to Hawaii again, we definitely want to do this!
家族4人で参加しました。
大人4人でしたが、海辺を馬に乗りながら歩くのは初めての体験で全員がはしゃいでしまいました。インストラクターのお姉さんも優しく英語で話しかけてくれました。
馬によって性格も様々で、馬がなかなか進まないなどハプニングもありましたが、生き物との触れ合いならではのアクティビティでとても楽しめました。
またハワイに行くときは、絶対にやりたいです!!

Amazing experience! Well over a dozen sharks swimming around, close to the cage. Plenty of time in the water. I would definitely recommend the video which probably adds a few minutes to your experience and is reasonably priced. The staff was personable and safety focused making for a great experience. Of all the activities we have done this trip this is the one we will do again our next time out.

I always rely on Gunstock when I go to Oahu. Usually, it's just my husband and me, but this time we were with other foreign guests. Since there were six of us, I thought we wouldn't be able to canter, but my expectations were exceeded. We had a great time cantering, and I was very satisfied.

Trail riding for the perfect amount of time. The horses were magnificent athletes and very well mannered. More trail than beach. We could have done without the trailblazing through prickers. We could see the ocean the whole time though and saw whales breaching in the distance.

Yassi our guide was excellent and so much fun, this was a gift from my friend Kathy for my 50th birthday! I've always wanted to do a horseback ride on the beach, & San Diego really didn't have any options, so when we planned our trip to Oahu we had to do this! We googled horse back riding on the beach & picked this one immediately. The ride was relaxing and so pretty, we rode polo ponies and they were beautiful and matched perfectly with us, mine was named Chaser! can't wait to come back & do it again! Aloha & Mahalo

Our tour of PCC was great because of the events including the boat parade and tasting food. But our guide Cousin Betty made the day special. Having Betty available to explain PCC to us was awesome and so is Betty!
Dinner was good we Loved the Coconut Balls.
Ha, Breath of Life performance was a perfect ending to our day at PCC.

If visiting Hawaii for the first time, this place is definitely a must-do! Very informative, FUN and a great all-day experience. Staff were very courteous, funny and food was quite delicious! I'd like to personally thank Manu, our tour instructor, as he knew all our names and stories by the end of the day, such a nice gentleman! You will leave this place wanting to visit other islands such as Tahiti, Samoa, and Fiji. You end your visit at the PCC with an awesome dance show, which is a must see!

Thanks so much to North Shore Shark Adventures! We had such a great time and the sharks we saw were countless! Even saw a barracuda who lingered around the cage. Captain Tanja and the crew were fantastic. They were knowledgeable,friendly,and funny. We brought home a video of our adventure and are so glad that we did! We would do this again in a minute! (This coming from someone who is afraid of everything = Karen!) I would recommend this adventure to anyone visiting the island. See you next time NSSA!

We both are experience riders so it was a little tame for us. All you do is get to walk the horses. But it was a beautiful relaxing ride. You dont get to ride right on the beach, but more on the edge of the sand duns and through a field of flowers. Our guide was excellent and the horses are very well trained and friendly. They do show you a brief demonstration on how to guide your horse with the reins as they are polo ponies and not your traditional western horses. And as a safety precaution every one wears a helmet. Overall, it was a nice ride.

As this was my wife's first trip to Hawaii, we visited the center. I'd never been before either.
We both thoroughly enjoyed the day and our guide. We paid for the Ambassador level and it was worth every penny as you are guided through the center with a personal touch.
The center was very informative and the luau was very good.
We'll be returning again as there is so much to see and learn that it can't be covered in ine day, even with a guide.

We participated as a couple with pickup from our hotel in Waikiki. We were so excited to see them up close! It seems that the sharks come closer when they hear the sound of the boat's engine, thinking they might get food, but there was no danger of them attacking. Although Japanese was not spoken on the boat or during the pickup, we were able to communicate somewhat through basic conversation. There is a Japanese translation guide on the boat.
Many people mention seasickness, but I took motion sickness medicine beforehand, so I didn't feel sick at all. It should be fine once you get used to it, but the waves can be quite strong. They ask if you want to film underwater videos. For $65, you get about 10 minutes of MP4 footage on an SD card and a bonus DVD, and after the tour, you can buy an original T-shirt for $30, both of which accept credit cards. You don't have to buy them, but I recommend it as a nice keepsake.
Also, it's definitely better to bring a disposable underwater camera. They were selling them on the boat, but since they don't speak Japanese, it's probably best to bring your own. I took a cheap waterproof digital camera I bought in Japan.
I wanted to do some sightseeing on the North Shore, but since the tour ends with immediate return to Waikiki, it might be a good idea for those familiar with Hawaii to rent a car. There seemed to be places nearby where you could park for free. Additionally, we were lucky enough to see a whale, making it a great tour!
ワイキキのホテルからの送迎付きで夫婦で参加しました。
さわれそうな距離で見られて大興奮!
船のエンジン音を聞きつけて餌がもらえると思い、鮫が寄ってくるそうですが襲ってくるような危険さはありませんでした。
送迎も船も日本語は通じませんが、なんとなくの会話で意思疎通は出来ました。
船に日本語訳の説明書はあります。
皆さん書かれている船酔いですが、酔い止めを事前に飲んだので全く船酔いはなし。慣れれば大丈夫ですが揺れは結構大きいです。
船上で水中動画撮影は必要かと聞かれます。SDカードにMP4で10分程度とおまけDVD付きで65$、終了後にオリジナルTシャツ30$、いずれもクレジットカードOKです。
買わなくていいけど記念になるので購入おすすめです。
あと、水中カメラは使い捨てでもいいので持っていった方が絶対いいです。船上でも販売はあったそうですが日本語が通じないので持参のほうがいいかも。私は日本で買った安い防水デジカメを持っていきました。
ノースショアで観光もしたかったのですが終われば即ワイキキへ送迎なので、ハワイ慣れしている人はレンタカーで行くのもいいかもしれないです。近くに無料で停められそうなところはありました。
あと、運よく鯨も出現して、いいツアーになりました。

This was my second time on the Gunstock. This time, it was a sunset horseback riding tour in the evening. The course was the same as usual, but thanks to the beautiful weather, we enjoyed stunning views of the sea and the sunset. It was truly moving. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to run more, as we mostly walked at a steady pace. That was the only disappointment.
