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

Shark Cage Swim

Reviewed by: Nathan N, 2015/06/20

The was an awesome activity to do! My wife and I didn't want to go out and free swim with shark so this cage was perfect. We had a great crew that was nice, entertaining and took care of us. A very enjoyable time! A little tip is to go earlier in day because after about 9:30 or 10 the water starts to get rougher and rocks the boat more.

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

Awesome Hike!!!

Reviewed by: webstersway, 2015/06/19

We met Keola Nui at the North Shore Market Place, he introduced himself and let us know we would be the only ones on the hike that day. We could not have asked for a better guide. Nui was very knowledgeable about the land we were going to be hiking on, letting us know about the different farms along the road to the trail. He explained the history behind the current lay out of the farms. When we arrived at the trailhead, there was a light mist falling as Nui offered a prayer to the land in the native tongue to reassure it that we were there on peaceful terms. The trail itself was unbelievably beautiful. There were moments where we were complete enclosed in the jungle, then, it would open up to expose the sky and the mountain stream below. Again, Nui was very knowledgable about the flora and fauna, explaining the difference between the native and invasive plants. We encountered a few berries along the trail that we were able to sample, they tasted very much like raspberries. We hiked in for a couple of hours and ended up having lunch on some rocks in the middle of the stream, very cool!!! We then headed back, though there was much more to be seen, we were on a schedule and did not have the time to hike any further. When we had packed away our gear, Nui drove us the the Boy Scout Camp nearby to an absolutely incredible overlook...we did not want to leave!!! This is definitely a hike everyone should try, you'll learn so much about Oahu. Thank you Nui for a truly outstanding experience!!!

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

Aloha! Bring your hiking shoes!

Reviewed by: Stoner, 2015/06/17

If your family is into the outdoors and adventure that is totally off the beat and path, book this tour. It is exclusive as the park is not accessible to the public. So you know, our family age ranges from 13 to 51. It was breathtaking- literally - not only from the views, but from the hiking. We hiked up the mountain trails crossing streams.
Our guides, Nui and Holly we very knowledgeable not only with the history but the plants and trees of the land.
The treat was to hike to a secluded pond and jump into the cool waters! Wow!
A bit of advice, wear comfortable shoes and water shoes are a must! Crossing the streams can be a bit challenging, as are some areas during the hike. Definitely grab a walking stick. It is about a 6 mile hike, 3 up and 3 back. All was about 6 hours.
Lunch is provided and we packed extra water. Nui and Holly were hands on assisting the entire hike. Awesome people! Mahalo!

Thanks so much Stoner family for joining Nui and I, it was great meeting you folks! I'm so glad you all had fun, we hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip!

普段乗馬を習っていて、これに参加したらポロ競技場で乗馬ができるのかと思っていたのですが、違いました。側道や海沿いを並足で歩くだけのいわゆる体験乗馬でした。
途中で海岸を歩けるのかと思ったら、波が荒くて近寄れなくて、ガイドの女の子に聞いたら（ファミリービジネスの末っ子さんらしい）いつも荒れてるとのことで・。
アラン１さん掲載の写真は写真を撮るために浜辺に入って撮影するだけのものでした。
終わった後に、駈け足ができなかったと伝えたら、アドバンスドコースというのがあるらしく、明日予約が入るのでそちらでどうかと言われましたが翌日帰国だったのであえなく断念しました。アラン１さんにそのコースがなかったのが残念です。

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

Amazing Shark Adventure

Reviewed by: webstersway, 2015/06/13

I must admit, I was a bit apprehensive about this adventure as the fateful morning arrived. We were in Oahu visiting our Son and his wife, she was particularly interested in the shark tour. My wife, on the other hand, would have none of it, fortunately, they have an 'Observer' option available. We boarded the Kai Ou after removing our shoes and headed out. The Captain explained that the sharks had become accustomed to the sound of the engines since there had been crabbing done in the past and they would not need to chum the water...we were going to be the bait. The water was absolutely beautiful, a bit on the choppy side, however, which made entering the cage a little more adventurous. It was really amazing being in the water with the sharks all around, there were between 8 and twelve, plus a few other fish, including some very large Trumpet Fish. I think my wife got the worst end of the deal as she was sea sick when we got back in the boat. The crew members were awesome, I would definitely recommend this adventure!!!

The waters were choppy but that didn't stop us! The crew was very polite and professional. You can watch the sharks from the boat while the other groups go too so you aren't bored.

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

North Shore Hike

Reviewed by: Ashley, 2015/06/07

I live here on the island and do a good amount of hiking. I thought this hike was pretty cool! Our guide, Nui, was extremely knowledgeable about the Hawaiian culture and plants in the area. The trail has TONS of strawberry guava and mountain apple trees along it. He pointed out plants that were native. He also pointed out the invasive plants, the problems they cause, and how or why they were brought here. It was very interesting! What made this hike special for me was is that we were hiing deep into the mountains where there aren't any houses or sign of urban development in view. This is quite rare for me. Most of the hikes I've done, known or less known, have some area that shows a city or buildings or concrete structures. Nui also stopped at a campsite to let us get some beautiful scenic pictures. This was my favorite part of the trip. The view of rows of ridges and the valley that we were hiking in was breathtaking.

  • The creek

  • Mountain apples

  • This is where you are probably guaranteed to get wet. We crossed the rocks on the way past but the way back was harder.

  • Cooling off on the way back :D

楽しかったよ～

Reviewed by: gunhead, 2015/05/31

予想以上に楽しかったです。
最初は、ドキドキ、一度、飛んでしまえば、ワクワクです。
インストラクターの方々は、陽気ですが、安全は、徹底していて、安心できます。
ラインは、全部で、7本。
最初は、必要以上に力んでしまいますが、最後の2本位になると、後ろ向きで、スタート出来たり、逆様で、ピースサインとかも、出来るようになります。
滑空(正確には、滑走)中は、とても気持ち良く、ケアナファームの広大な景色と相まって人生初体験の感動です。
別段、体力や、技術は入りません。
楽しく、空を飛ぶ感覚を是非、経験して見てください。
機会があれば、私もりぴーとです。

家族３人で参加しました。
旦那＝初乗馬、息子８歳＝初一人乗り。
正直、旦那の「まあまあ、子供の経験の為にね・・・」的などうでもよかったみたいな感想が来るかと思ってました。
前日の動物園でも行こうか？なんて話してたんですが、
ここで十分な位いろんな動物がいました（＾ｕ＾）
スタッフは全員日本語話せません。
簡単に説明やら雑談やらして、そろそろって時に荒馬登場！！！
「誰が乗るか？！」とドキドキでしたが、勿論スタッフさんが乗りました（ホッ！）
皆、順番で馬にまたがり写真撮影！　　すご～く素敵でかっこいい写真がとれました！
出発して暫くはカメラマンも徒歩で先回りして取ってくれました。
ハワイ特有の赤土の山を、花や木や鳥を見ながら登って行き、すごい風景の場所に到着！！！
気持ちいい風の中、広がる草原、海。
最高でした！
下る途中に、景色の良かった場所はあそこら辺だって、結構山の上の方を指してました。

心配していた８歳も、しつけられた馬だったので問題なし。
途中馬が走りそうになりビビって止めたんですが、本人は走って欲しかったって・・・
こちらも心配していた旦那ですが、「乗馬舐めてた！最高だった！またやりたい！」
と子供の様な事をおっしゃってました。

帰りにノースに寄ってブラブラと出来るし、
次もガンストックランチ行きます!　
絶対おすすめ！

Reviewed by: ぷっくん, 2015/04/28

10歳と7歳の子供と参加しました。
英語オンリーですが日本語で書かれたパンフレットもあり、特に困った事はありませんでした。
波は穏やかでしたが酔い止めを飲んでても酔うくらいの揺れはありました。
でも、檻に入ったらたくさんのサメがいて酔いも忘れるほど楽しかったです。
7歳の息子はサメが大好きなので大興奮してました。
息子が帰りにサメの絵を描いて船長さんに渡したらとても喜んでくれました。
後で現地の方に聞いたら、オーストラリアの参加者のかたが多くオーストラリアにもサメツアーはあるのですがものすごく高いので皆さんこちらでやられるそうです。
DVDが75ドルで買いましたがとても良い思い出になりました。
また行きたいけど、船酔いが恐いかな…

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

Eco tours hike was informative and very nice

Reviewed by: Dan and Denise, 2015/04/27

Me and and my girlfriend both liked the young guides who picked us up at the North Shore Marketplace parking lot. It was just us two so we felt very privilidged. The Hawaiian guide drove for about 20 min through many farms and got to know much abut them and who owned them, unfortunately much of the land were rented by Monsantos. Part of the drive was very bumpy but became much better when we got unto the military roads. The hike was not that hard mostly because the water wasn´t that high this time. It was partly slippery but our sneekers was enough to manage it. There were some very niice sceneries and crossig over the river and the mountain pool swim at the summit was very pleasent and just what we needed after a 2.5 hours hike. We got to use helmets but just for a very short time. The lunch was two wraps each and was more than enough for us.
The hawaiian native guide told us much about the the hawaiian culture and the problems hawaiians have had keeping their language alive. We also got to know about much about the different plants and trees, and the tight bond to nature hawaiina have had, he also made a hawaiian chant to the forrest when we just started the hike which was very nice to hear. We would recommend this hike to all our friends.

  • Great view at the end of the hike

Keana Farms! Must Do!

Reviewed by: BeachBoy, 2015/04/08

From the start til the end, it was a non-stop adventure. 3 guides were with us, and we all had a blast! The ATV ride around the farm to get to the platform was fun and educational. They showed us different tropical plants like guava, mango, papaya, banana and so much more. The zipline and the view was just spectacular. I could do it again and again. They even had a rope climbing machine, and my arm is still sore from it! Overall, this was excellent and worth every penny. If you go to the North Shore, you need to put it in your bucket list.

Our guides were great, they were Sarah and a lovely red head from CO, I don't remember her name.
I have always wanted to ride a horse on, on, a beach, not near one, not within view of, on a beach. Splashing in the water. This ride was not on a beach and should not be advertised as such.

Comments from activity operators

Aloha Meris,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your experience with us. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your tour guides and our apologies you were so disappointed about not being able to go in the water with your horse. It is illegal in the state of Hawaii to take livestock of any kind in the ocean so we go as close as we legally can to the water. I can assure you that we do take the horses on the sand /beach so you were not mislead.

All the best,
Amanda

Polynesian Cultural Center Tickets with Island Sightseeing Tour

Circle Island Tour, Polynesain Cultural Center, dinner & show on Motorcoach/Amb Alii Luau with Guide

Reviewed by: Stella Martin YT Cda, 2015/04/05

Our tour of the island was very enjoyable. Very happy to see the Pineapples growing, and the lay of the land. The guides were prompt and the guide at the Centre, was especially polite. (Congrats to them, too, for indicating they do not except tips.) We visited three villages but I've done these without a guide and on my own, saw all six villages in the time he took us to three. I know time is spent gathering people and passing out leis and explaining procedures, but this did detract from what we could experience. I would suggest that at the Center, folks are given the option to go with the guide or go on their own. The luau and HA - Breath of Life show are phenomenal!! We had half a house for the audience and I was so impressed with the quality of singing and dancing, of the performers, that I started the standing ovation. Those students really deserve our appreciation!!

North Shore Private Sunset Horseback Riding & Campfire Dinner at Gunstock Ranch

Beautiful sunset horseback ride and a wonderful campfire dinner!

Reviewed by: Maiwayalways1, 2015/04/03

Our guide was Greg. He was so sweet and genuine. As we trailed he would give us some history on the names of the cities surrounding the ranch, the different boarding houses for the various horses on the land and we saw roaming cattle and goats. A few roosters and chicken also. The girls really enjoyed themselves on the trail being surrounded by nature here. As we rode uphill and finally reached our camp, you smelled the campfire and saw a breath taking view of the ocean. The sight is amazing! The meal was strip steak, tempura shrimp, rice and mac salad. It was so delicious! And you roasted your own marshmallows for s'mores! As we rode down toward the valley, again you could see the elevation and beautiful land surrounding this huge ranch. This was our second sunset ride@ Gunstock and we will be returning again.

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

Educational, Cultural, & Beautiful!!!

Reviewed by: ----------RHO----, 2015/03/26

I have hiked many of the popular attractions here on Oahu like Diamond Head, Manoa Falls, and Koko Head, but they have nothing as elegant as what the Huakai Iki hike has. We booked our tour, and was informed that the check in location is at the Aloha General Store. We were greeted by our wonderful guides Keola and Holly. We started venturing off on the private roads owned by Kamehameha Schools, Bishop Estate. We had excellent views of the agricultural land, the coastline of Haleiwa, the mountain ranges of both the Ko'olaus and Waianae! We had learned so much Hawaiian historical facts, such as endemic versus native species of plants and animals, special trees and plants such as the Koa tree, ohia lehua, and the strawberry guava tree. Keola and Holly are excellent guides! The one thing that I highly valued is that you can ask them anything! They will tell you if they know about it, and if they don't they will either call you or email me and give you the answer! Many other tour guides on other hikes, tend to come up with excuses, or falsified facts. But not Keola or Holly. We had great views of the swimming pools (water ponds), nice high clouds, and wonderful native plants. This is the best hiking tour that I have been on by far. I will definitely go out with north Shore Eco Tours again, for their Huakai Nui Hike! Mahalo Keola & Holly!

  • Beautiful Day in Hawaii-ne!

  • Our guide Keola

  • The Ohia Lehua

  • One of the landing zones for our military helicopters for training purposes.

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

This is the Way to See the North Shore!

Reviewed by: MeSoHappy, 2015/03/25

I learned a lot about the history of the North Shore on this tour and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Our guides Keola and Holly were knowledgeable in Hawaiian history and culture. They have exclusive access to this trail and I highly recommend going on this tour as you will not get the chance to see the North Shore like this with anyone else. It was a real treat for me. I appreciated that Keola asked for permission to enter the hiking trail in a traditional way.The hike itself was wonderful. We saw a lovely lehua blossom on the trail! The area is home to a number of rare native trees that I will leave to you to figure the name of. This hike is not for people who are out of shape. You will get a workout on the hike! If you appreciate learning about Hawaiian culture with legitimate information shared, the natural beauty of the North Shore, and to spend a day of your vacation in nature, this hike is for you. Way better than a luau!
