This was definately the highlight of our vacation. The thrill of being so close to the sharks is an awesome experience. Would highly recommend this adventure to everyone!

My wife and I loved the shark encounter! Exhilarating but not dangerous. The staff was knowledgeable and good spirited. We are in our mid 50's - have done lots of stuff and this was truly unique. Besides loads of sharks we also saw a couple whales. Recommend you bring a water proof camera [taking digital videos and pulling frames for desired stills works best], go early because the water is usually calmer, and go on an empty stomach. The time in the cage went too fast me!

We've never been on a glider ride before, and we are so glad that we did. It's crazy to fly without an engine and a propeller! We were a little scared first, but once we were up in the air, we enjoyed the breathtaking views of Mokuleia, Yokohama Bay, North Shore Coastline, etc... It's the best way to enjoy the scenary in the north shore from the sky. Highly recommended!!!

We had a great time on this tour. We saw a little bit of everything. Rongo, our guide, was so much fun, and so knowledgable. He had so much personal knowledge of the island we often felt like we were somehow being driven around by an old friend who wanted to 'show us around'. Rongo was just a great, great guide. We had fun. We had time to take pictures anywhere we stopped, never felt rushed or hurried. Loved everything we saw and felt like we got a very complete 'view' of the island as well as it's history and all of the things that made 'Oahu'....Oahu. We took this tour our second day in Oahu in case we stumbled across something we would want to spend more time investigating later. We're glad we did. Rongo was also willing to give us tips on great places to eat, or grab a drink. We really had fun!

We didn't get any refreshments. And we recommend that you bring your own snorkling gear. Other than that we had an AWESOME time!! This is such an experience. I love sharks and this is as close as you can get with out being eaten...hahaha. We loved that there were so many sharks. We took so many pics and video's. We will be back again to do this!!!

Complete adrenaline rush!!! Would definitely go again and again!!! This coming from first timers!!! Although the water was very choppy, you felt safe in the cage. Just remember to be on the safe side, keep your feet and hands in the cage. You spend more than enough time with the sharks. The guides were friendly and informative. As we were leaving, a booby bird flew in and decided to hang out on the cage. We were also able to see a school of dolphins swimming by. We never did get anything to drink so, you might want to bring a bottle of water along. They also sell a Shark Encounter T-shirt which is pretty cool to wear and it let's everyone know of your experience. Remember to bring a waterproof camera as you'll want to take up-close pictures of the sharks!!!

Great Ride from the beginning to the end. We were picked up on time briefed about what to do and expect. Staff was very friendly. Our guide on the helicopter was very informative. Yes, your seated by weight and ofcourse you've definitely scored if you're in the front but, you have just as great a view in the back. You'll get more than enough great pictures. How can you really complain, your seeing Oahu from the sky and taking in more than expected.We even got to see a waterfall!!! Our ride back to our hotel was just as great with everyone chatting up a storm and our driver interacting with us as well and even giving us tips on where to go and what to see and do.

家族での旅行中、4/2に私だけ参加しました。家族(夫・義母・息子)はプライベートツアーで現地で合流し、最初から最後まで見学してました。10時過ぎにはダイビングが終了したので、そのままオアフ島周遊のプライベートツアーに家族と参加できましたよ。
私自身初めてで、最初に承諾書にサインする際に「やめようかな・・・」とも思いましたが、思い切って飛んでよかったです。
飛行機で上空へ上がるのに雲も突き抜け「まだ上がるの~?」といった気分でしたが、ダイブポイントからは躊躇する間もなく、次々と落ちていきます。インストラクターのマイクさんのおかげでスリルを味わいながらも安心してスカイダイビングできました。パラシュートが開いてからはゆっくりのんびりと落ちてきます。オアフ島北側の海岸線がきれいに見えて感動し、足元をみるとあまりにも高いところに浮かんでいる自分の足が見え、更なるスリルを味わいます。
着地後は、マイクさんとハイタッチ!とても貴重で素晴らしい体験ができました。次回ハワイへ行ったら必ず参加します。
マイクさん、スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました。

2時間の乗馬でしたがあっという間でした。最初は馬をコントロールできるかと緊張していましたがそんな心配はまったくいりませんでした。というのも馬がとてもよく訓練されていてインストラクターの口笛で歩調を速めたりきちんと列になって歩いてくれて前の馬についていってくれます。コントロールする必要はまったくありませんでした。かえって馬のほうが変な指示を出されて迷惑だったでしょう。
慣れてくると周りを見る余裕が出てきてジュラシックパークなどの撮影されたところとシーンを教えてくれます。
基本的に英語ですが、日本人を見ると日本語で指示したほうがいいか聞いてくれます。言葉の心配は大丈夫でしょう。
素晴らしい自然に囲まれてきっとまた別の観点でハワイが好きになるでしょう。

ハワイでは必ず乗馬をするファミリー家族です。今までにカウアイ島で1箇所、オアフ島で3箇所、モロカイ島で1箇所、マウイ島で1箇所、ハワイ島で1箇所、今年はラナイ島で乗馬でもしようと計画していたところ、ここガンストック牧場で昨年からやり始めたとの情報を得、わざわざ離島まで行って乗馬することを考えればかなりの時間の節約と考えさっそくネットでアフタヌーン乗馬を予約。ノースからカフクを通り過ぎ約5分ぐらいで右手に看板発見!右折して山側にすこし登るとまったく観光化されていない牧場のたたずまい、早速人懐こいワンちゃんや羊がよって来て歓迎ムード、奥へ放牧されている馬さんたちをよけながら先に進みガイドさん?たちを発見、みなさん女性でお話をしたら牧場主のスミス婦人とそのお嬢さんとコロラド州からハワイの大学へ来たアルバイトのお嬢さんの3人でした。まったく日本語は通じませんがまるでとなりの家へ遊びに行きチェックインも、アットホームな感じ、早速乗馬し我々家族だけのまるでチャーターしたみたいな一行は一路ロデオ練習場や馬を乗馬用になれさせる練習場を通り過ぎ山へ谷へ果樹園と思わせる木々の中を通り過ぎ馬上からグアバをもぎとり食べながら又山へ、1時間も登ると北はノースショアーからカフクそして北東の海海、この景色をバックに記念写真とビデオを撮り、山陰にかくれた太陽の夕日が先のカフクの南を照らすのを見ながらガイドとおしゃべりをしながら牧場中心地へ30分で下山。初めての海外乗馬の方にはお勧め出来ないが、観光乗馬に飽きた方、少し英語がお話できる方にはオアフ島では1番良いところと思います。オアフ島にいる事を忘れてしまいそうなきれいなサンセットを見させていただきました。

We took the catamaran trip to whale watch on the north shore of oahu and it did live up to it's promise. We saw not only whales but sharks and a large sea turtle. The crew was great, seems like a family business. We took the trip to celebrate my mom's birthday and let's just say....she is still talking about it!!

This was an awesome experience. You can't get any closer than this to live sharkes in the oceans. I could have reached out and touch them - but highly discouraged to do so.
This is an awesome experience and a great way to view sharks in thier own natural environment. Very graceful and peaceful to watch.

this is definitely not for the faint of heart! Although sharks do NOT like to eat humans (as it is commonly believed)! It is very exhilarating to watch them all around you. We would recommend it to anyone looking to have the experience of their lives!

This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we wanted to make sure that we don't miss North Shore, but didn't want to take a typical sightseeing tour on a huge bus with 50 other people. This tour turns out to be a great one with a lot of personal touch. We were able to enjoy a full day on Waimea Bay, just relaxing, snorkeling, swimming, etc. A perfect day on the north shore. We were also able to check out the Haleiwa Town to do some shopping. There are a lot of artists living there to sell their beautiful arts. Highly recommended!

ダイブポイントに到着してからは
怖いーとか待ってーとか言ってるまもなく、
次に次に落ちていきます。
私は最後でしたが、1,2とカウントした後は
気付いたらぎゃーーと叫びながら空にいましたw
むちゃくちゃ怖いけど、
途中から興奮状態になってましたね。
叫ぶんだけど、声を出す勢いより、空気が入ってくる勢いの方がすごくて
全然声が聞こえない。
あの落ちていく感覚は何とも言えません。
究極のフリーフォール体験!
パラシュートが開いてからは鳥のように空を舞いながら、
オアフ島をゆっくり眺める。
地球は本当に丸い
海は青い
なんて当たり前のことなんかを空の上で再確認。
遠くにはハワイの冬の風物詩 ザトウクジラの
泳ぐ姿なんかもみられて、本当に最高でした!
怖いけど終わった後のあの爽快感はやってみないとわかりませぬ。
是非おためしあれ~~~~ !
写真撮影はどうするか最後までかなり迷ったんですが、
ちょっと高すぎました・・・
もうちょっと安くなると良いですね。

Rongo, our driver, was very fun and entertaining. From picking us up to dropping us off he had excellent information to share and plenty of jokes to tell. Even after most people were dropped off and we were the last ones to our hotel, he was giving us little tidbits of information on good eating and fun attractions. This is a trip everyone should see on their first visit to oahu, and the dole plantation is a must.
