This was by far the best adventure I've ever been on and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, which is very different from most touristy things I've done in Hawaii where once is enough.
The crew was great, the sharks were plentiful and the gear provided was excellent. Don't forget to bring your camera because you will want to capture every moment out there. If you don't have an underwater camera, you can buy one from the crew.

This one of the biggest thrills I have ever experienced, and there has been alot, we have traveled all over the world and this is most definately in the top 5 for us. To have a shark 8-12 feet long inches from your face, let alone 15-20 of them within 20 feet of you is extreme, then add in some good sized swells to add to the excitement, I wouldn't miss it again, ever, a must for anyone who needs a thrill.

This adventure delivers on exactly what it offers. If you've seen the shark specials on the discovery channel this will be very similar except for the fact that YOU are up close and personal with the sharks. Bring waterproof camera for great shots. I didn't have one but I brought my live action camera and filmed some great footage from on the boat.

This experience was the best thing I have ever done in my short time on this earth! Even though I was seasick I still had the time of my life. The captain made sure everything was as safe and controlled. These sharks were not aquarium sharks! These beautiful creatures were enormus, full of spledor and power. I was amazed to see in real life. If or when I return to the island I will do this adventure again. Don't miss the opportunity to get in the cage you only live once, Seize the Day!

We had the good fortune to have a young whale in a frisky mood breaching several times. The staff was very thoughtful, one of them loaning his windbreaker to our 7 year old. A great outing!

I had a great time. The crew was outstanding and helpful. The ocean was really rough and I got thrown around in the cage a little. Plenty of sharks and a great experience.

I could not go in the cage as the mask interfered with my dentures but as it was my grandaughter's birthday gift...it was fun to watch her and I could see lots of sharks from the boat (even though it was very rough water).

今回乗馬が初めてで、貴重な体験をしました。インストラクターの方も少し日本語が話せて分かりやすかったです。
馬もおとなしく、特にコースに合わせて歩いてくれるので、初心者でも問題ありません。
天気が悪くて残念だったけど、高い山の中で広がる草原の風景はすばらしかったです。

落ちるならバンジー。
空を飛ぶならスカイダイビング。
正直、「1~2分の自由落下」の期待は高かったんですが、
雲の上からのダイブとなると高すぎて落ちる実感沸かないし、
飛び降りた瞬間だけ数回転しながら落ちる(揺れてる?)程度で
あとは強風と戯れて、パラシュートが開けば
鳥の気持ちが理解出来るかなってな感じで
爽快感の方が勝る。ってな具合でした。
天気が良かったせいもあるでしょうが
専用セスナも実に安定してますね。
気流の中を進む旅客機に比べれば縦揺れ感覚も皆無でした。
実は前日に何処とは言えませんが
他会社で年間5~6人が○○してる話を
スキューバダイビングのインストラクターから聞いていて
ココにして良かったという安心感があったのも事実です
飛ぶ前も飛んだ後もの~んびりしてて、
気軽に写真に応じてくれるし自分には合ってました
記念にインストラクターも着てるTシャツ買ったんですが、
$18はちっと高い気も・・・(まぁチップの感覚で)
ティム先生はあつかましいけど非常にイイ奴ですよ

My 9-year old and I went horseback riding and we had a blast. She is a little horse lover. The guide was a lot of fun and was very knowledgeable about the somewhat historic ranch. The view from the top of the mountain was beautiful. I would definitely do it again!

This was a great adventure! Being in the cage is extremely rough, and you have to hold on to avoid getting thrown around by the huge waves, but this is a small problem! There must have been at least 15-20 sharks (Galapagos and sandbar sharks) swimming all around, and rubbing on the cage! I would recommend this activity to anyone who can handle a rough ocean. It was one of the best things we did in Hawaii!! Take anti-nausea pills, as the waves are huge, and the boat rocks hard (even for those who don't think they get seasick).

The ride takes you through the valley of the Koolau Mountains. The views are grogeous! The horses are well trained so there is no problems for first timers. Our guides, Christine and Suzanna are wonderful and enthusiastic. They were a lot of fun and brought great energy to the group. The view of the mountains and ocean will definitely make you appreciate the beauty of Hawaii.

I did this with my 23 year old daughter and we both felt that this was an outstanding activity! The ride was great - some hills, windy trails, spectacular views, just the right length - 90 minutes. The staff was super - Darleena couldn't have been better - so knowledgeable, friendly and patient! The horses were very calm and perfect for this type of ride. We both agree that this is one of the best things we've done on Oahu. We've already recommended Gunstock Ranch to other family members that are planning to visit Hawaii. (I'll send photos later)

今回初めての参加でしたが本当に面白かったです!
船はかなり揺れましたが私たちの時は誰も船酔いしませんでした。スタッフの方は英語しか話せませんが陽気で特に不便な事もなかったです。
いざ始まってみると怖いというより滅多にできる体験ではないので本当に楽しく感動でした。
出来ればもっと沢山潜っていたかったです。
私たちが行ったのは9月末でしたが上がった後はすごく寒かったです。あと水中カメラは持っていってよかったです!

ハワイには何度も行っていますが今回は今までにしたことのないツアーに参加したくてこのツアーを見つけました。
最初はガイドが英語のみだしサメということで妻と二人で不安でしたが実際に参加してみるとガイドの方は親切でわかりやすい日本語まじりの英語で楽しませてくれました。
海に潜ると今までに見たこともない真っ青な海に数え切れない程のサメに圧倒されましたが終わるころには妻と二人でもっと潜っていたいねと言うほどのめり込んでしまいました。
ハワイに慣れて刺激を求める方にお勧めです。

2006年9月に参加しました。
ツアー参加者は私たち夫婦以外は、アメリカ人、オーストラリア人の白人が4人でした。
船上でスタッフの方が海中に檻を沈めてから中に入るまでの注意をしてくれます。
英語で足りましたが、日本人用には日本語の説明パネルがあります。
専用のボートで沖に行くと、出るわ出るわサメさんたちが。
そして海中に沈めた檻に入ってサメをみます。
いや~迫力でしたよ。
エサをどんどん投げ入れるので、サメは次々に来ます。
楽しかった~。
でもね、沖合い(?)なので割と波があるんです。その波に半分浮かんだ折の中でサメを見るので、結構酔います。
酔いは船にあがってからの方がきます。
夫とアメリカ人の女性は船上で戻してしまいました。
私はツラかったけど、我慢した。
吐く人はしょっちゅういるみたいで、スタッフさんは「気分悪い?、船の外に吐いて吐いて」みたいな感じであっさりでした。お水もたくさん用意されていて飲ませてくれました。
そんなハプニングもありながら、とても楽しい体験だと思います。オススメです。

Great trip, with a very knowledgeable captain and crew.
Bring your underwater camera for some pictures of a lifetime,,,, so you think!
You will be back to enjoy this again.
Visibility was well over 50 feet and the water was a crystal clear deep blue.
When you are in the cage you are totally protected and safe, yet as the sharks come so close you feel as if you are out there with them.
The only bad thing for me were the pretty high waves, which made it difficult to hold the camera still. (As seen from the pictures)
This experience is on the 'To Do on the next trip' list.
Thanks everyone involved

9/11に乗馬2時間コースに参加しました。
たしかに日本語がまともに話せる人はいなかったのですが、たいして困らなかったです。
ただ、そのように覚悟をしておくと私のようにまったく英語がわからない人でもびっくりすることがないと思います。
私は初心者でしたが、荘大な自然の中を1人で馬に乗れるなんて最高の時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
私が乗った馬はけっこうやんちゃな子で寄り道して草ばっかり食べて最初は大変でしたが後半ではうまくコントロールできるようになりましたし、また心が通じた気がしてほんとにかわいかったです。
生き物ですから調教されてるといっても個性はあると思います。
4人の連れとも最初ばらばらに並んで歩いていましたがやさしい女性のスタッフがちゃんと前後に並ばせてくれました。ただ、お尻に自信が無い人は最初は短い時間をお勧めします。連れはそれが大変だったみたいです。
日本人は私達だけでしたが特に差別的なことも感じず楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
