We did a whole island, 8 hr tour of Oahu with Ciso! We was the best! He made the day so wonderful. He is well informed and each stop was great! I’d take any tour he does again! He made the entire bus laugh! Thank you Ciso for a great day! Mahalo!

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

Amazing and extremely lucky.

Reviewed by: Juan

It started with a great day, very little wind which made the water very calm. Boat rode out was smooth, and finally arriving to the cage we were immediately greeted with sharks, and not just any sharks but 3 TIGER SHARKS!!. I know that TIGERS are rare for the area but the fact that 3 were there for the entire dive was amazing. The crew were awesome in ensuring that everyone was calm and answered any questions. I definitely recommend and would love to dive again

 少し残念なのは 自分達が英語を理解出来ずスタッフの方がいっぱい話してくれた事も理解出来なかった事。
 でも そんな私たちを精一杯引っ張ってくれて馬さんとスタッフの方に感謝です。

The Surf Bus North Shore Fun Tour - Snorkel, Bike, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Waterfall

Informative

Reviewed by: Kara

Surf bus instructor, Kevin was very informative- he gave us info to places that we must see and foods/places to eat at.
Enjoyed snorkeling wish we would of seen turtles though. Kayaking time was limited we had to go back to the bus to head back to Waikiki. We did get to visit the small towns on our way to North Shore that grows fresh vegetable and fruits, I think the two stops caused us to use up time on the water activities.

Great people, awesome view!

Reviewed by: K-E

The tour was absolutely amazing. Guides were both friendly and knowledgeable, and the sharks came in great numbers.

Be aware that staying in the cage takes a bit more effort than you think, but everyone on our trip managed just fine.

Bring a bag for your phone so you can take some underwater pictures.

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides

Great experience

Reviewed by: Chelsea

The crew was wonderful! We saw dolphins on the way out there which was a nice addition to the shark tour. When we got out to the cage we were met by about 8 sharks that stuck around the entire time we were in the cage. When we were about to leave we were able to get back into the cage because a tiger shark had approached so we got a look at her for a bit.

クライムワークス・ケアナファーム ジップライン体験(3時間) オアフ島最長800メートルのラインでノースショアの大自然と絶景を満喫<7本>

まさかの予約違いがあるも楽しい経験できました

Reviewed by: パンエク

4名で参加しました。受付にいくとまさかの予約がないという状況でした。
調べていただいたら、事前確認メールもきていたのになぜか前日に変更されており、もう当日は予約でいっぱい。最初はもうできないと言われました。

しかしながら、色々と調整してくれて、我々4人だけのグループを組んでくれて、結果インストラクター3名を独占する形でとても楽しい経験ができました。
ジップラインは初めてでしたが、怖さもなくトライアルの1本含めて8本時間が経つのを忘れるぐらい楽しめました。

なお、英語はかなり早く、我々は同伴者に英語が堪能な人がいたので問題なかったですが、いくつか気を付ける点があるのでご注意ください。
・毎回最初に小さい台の上に乗ってインストラクターに準備してもらう
・ワイヤーはさわならい
・途中からですが、ゴール直前で止まりそうになったら、インストラクターの合図で赤いロープをつかむ(その前につかむとブレーキかかってしまう)

  • 風力発電のプロペラが近くにたくさんあります

  • インストラクターの方が説明してくれます

  • 海に向かう長いジップラインは爽快です

絶景スカイダイビング 期間限定$189~!スリルと興奮を味わえる!ビデオ&写真撮影付きプランあり by ゴージャンプハワイ<送迎付き>

人生初スカイダイビング

Reviewed by: おおた

女1人で参加しました!
日本人の観光客は少なかったですが、スタッフの方が簡単な日本語で説明してくださったので、大きな不安はありませんでした!
荷物は、小さなコインロッカー(1ドル)があるので、そこに貴重品を入れました!
素晴らしい景色で飛ぶことができてとても感動しました!

一つ難点が、アクセスです。
ワイキキからスカイダイビングの場所はUberやレンタカーで行けるのですが、帰りのスカイダイビング上からのワイキキやノースショアの市内へのアクセスが物凄ごく少ないです。なので、レンタカーをお勧めします。

スカイダイビングの写真は、
・スタッフの方々がアップルウォッチでセルフ撮影
・スタッフが正面でゴープロ撮影
の二パターンありました。
それぞれ200ドル近くかかります。

今回、写真は撮影しませんでしたが、次回は撮影したいと思います!

Great time! Best luau experience! The family was incredible! Husband said it was the best pulled pork he has ever eaten!

Reviewed by: Shae

We had a great time, celebrated our anniversary! The family that hosted the luau was wonderful and we were impressed with every aspect of the luau. If you are staying on Waikiki beach, be prepared for an hour drive to get there. We didn’t account for that length of time so we didn’t get to appreciate the hiking available beforehand.

Doors-Off Paradise Helicopter Tour & Landing from Kapolei [Not Operating]

Totally worth it!

Reviewed by: J Rivera

Exhilarating and beautiful experience. It was amazing to see all the sights we visited from the ground (Pearl Harbour, sandbar, Waikiki etc). The beauty of the island is really highlighted, including the turquoise waters and Jurassic Park mountains. Expect to have a LOT of wind blowing through the cabin, so take it seriously when they recommend the light jacket. Our pilot was awesome too, he pointed out all the landmarks and helped take fun photos with us too. It also felt very safe throughout.

Incredible experience

Reviewed by: J Rivera

We enjoyed this so much. It took a couple hours to calm down from the excitement of being so close to majestic sharks. Our guides were so friendly and provided a lot of information and guidance. We felt very safe during the entire experience. We also had enough time to enjoy the sharks and it never felt rushed. We saw about 10 sharks that swam calmly around the cage. We were lucky to see some dolphins on the trip back too!

Take a trip with Kalani

Reviewed by: Chuck G

We started our trip in this fantastic, beautiful bus. Our driver Kalani was the most knowledgeable and personable guide we could ever want. He knew all about the sites. The history, the traditions, and the Hawaiian language for everything. He also knew how to keep us on a schedule but with plenty of time to enjoy each stop. I can’t express how much more having him for a guide made a difference but wouldn’t want anyone else and you will be lucky if you get Kalani.

最高でした!

Reviewed by: みんご

乗馬は初めてでしたが、馬が賢いので難しい操作も不要で特に問題はなかったです。英語があまり話せませんが、インストラクターの方も何度も大丈夫ですか?と気にかけてくれました。ロケ地や歴史について説明してくれていたので英語がわかるともっと楽しかったと思います。ボディバックを持っていきましたがウエストポーチのようにすれば騎乗可でした。スマホや水は貸し出しのバックに入れることができます。
送迎付きだと前後2時間弱空き時間がありましたが、ランチをしたりお土産をみたりしていたので、持て余すことはなかったです。
壮大な自然と海を見ることができ感動しました。初めての乗馬がクアロアランチで本当に良かった!おすすめのアクティビティです。

Oahu Island Tour - North Shore, Turtle Watch, Kualoa Beach & Pineapple Farm

Around Oahu in a day

Reviewed by: Zeljko Pasara

We had a fantastic day on our tour. It just so happened that me and my daughter were the only people signed up on the day of our tour. Our guide Stephanie was absolutely fantastic, fun loving and easy going with her knowledge of the island. We started at the Halona blowhole and found out the beach nearby was used in the movie “From Here to Eternity”. Lunch at the Kahuku Sugar Mill with a smorgasbord of food trucks should be able to satisfy any hunger. The recommendation of Giovanni’s for garlic prawns by Stephanie was spot on, they were delicious.
With great anticipation of seeing turtles on the sand at Haleiwa Beach Park we were slightly disappointed. It was great we were able to see them in the water occasionally bobbing their heads up for air.
The last stop at Dole Plantation was great, it is where we tasted our first Dole Whip which was absolutely delicious.
I would recommend this tour to give you a better idea about the Oahu Island and the different experiences available to you.

Reply from activity provider

Hello Zeljko,

Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a good time with Stephanie on the tour. It was lucky that it was just the two of you on the tour. Sorry to hear the disappointment of the sea turtles. They are there sometimes and sometimes there are not. But we are glad to got to see a lot of things on Oahu. We hoped you enjoyed your time in Hawaii and thank you again for your review and booking our tour.

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls

Love the show!

Reviewed by: Wong

The host was funny and great knowledge about his own culture and traditions. It’s our first time so I wouldn’t be able to compare with other Luau. The show was about the different Polynesian cultures dance so just not only about the fire dance that gets everyone excited. It shows you the dance and the cultures. The Waimea fall is not flowing right now secondary the drought, ( last time occurred in 1992) so my family was little disappointed that couldn’t see the fall and swim in the pond. Look at bright side, this doesn’t happen all the time and I got to see a waterfall without water. Wished there was some warning ahead and I would have planned differently. Otherwise it was still a nice trail for family to walk.

夢、叶う。

Reviewed by: ダイナン

子供の頃、スカイダイバーが活躍するアメリカ製のTVドラマを見て、ずっと憧れていたスカイダイビング。自分が体験出来るとは思ってもいませんでした。以前、ハワイを訪れた時(30年以上前)には、まだ存在しなかったアクティビティでしたし。その後、日本でこのアクティビティを紹介するTV番組も増え、また国内でもタンデムが出来る空港も出来ましたが、やはり飛ぶならハワイの空と決めていました。年齢制限まであと10か月の今月、ハワイに行く機会に恵まれ、迷わず真っ先に申し込みました。体験直前もハラハラドキドキは全く無く、ワクワクが止まらない状態でした。結果はもう、気分最高!の一言。知人、友人には呆れられてはいますが。

基本英語対応ですが、乗馬の際の説明ビデオは日本語もあり、そちらの映像を見せていただいたので初めての乗馬でしたが乗り方はすぐに理解できました。
乗馬の際はヘルメットを被ります。荷物はロッカーに預けて、貴重品と飲み物を持参できます。(ポシェット貸してくれます)
大自然の中で山と海両方の景色が楽しめて大満足です。お馬さんたちもお利口さんでした。インストラクターの場所等の説明が遠くて聞こえないことが多々あったのがちょっと残念でしたが、、、何枚か写真も撮っていただきスマホに送っていただけました。ランチはクアロアの中のカフェでfish and chipsを食べました。美味しかったです。口コミに自由時間は時間を持て余すと書かれていたのを見ていたので不安でしたが、お土産を見たり時間が足りないくらいでした。

家族で参加しました。流石に離着陸はパイロットがやってくれますが、それ以外は結構な時間操縦体験できます。息子が操縦で自分は後部座席で見学していただけですが、それでも素晴らしいオアフ上空からの景色に感動しました。英語は流暢ではないのですが、パイロットは英語でも、経営が日本人なので飛ぶ前に注意事項を通訳していただき全く問題なしでした。フライト後、機体No.で検索するとフライト記録がちゃんと残ってました。パイロットが写真を撮ってくれたのを、送ってもらう約束だったのですが、どうやら忘れられてしまったらしく、それがなかったら五つ星でした。

Amazing time with the family!

Reviewed by: Alondra C

My whole family loved this luau! The fact that it also includes entry to the park is a steal; it's beautiful! Our host was very funny and personable. I loved that they have cultural activities like showing the people attending the luau how to open coconuts, and weave leaves into a headband. The food was good, and the host was giving special shoutouts to people who were celebrating things like anniversaries, graduations, etc. The people who were doing the dances did great! Even my sister that's 3 years old was super entertained. You really get a family feel at this luau; shoutout to the 9-year old kid who was doing some fire dancing as well! It was awesome and I definitely prefer giving my money here than some random resort doing shows. The vibe is 10/10!
