North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation
Incredible
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/04/11One word...INSANE! By far one of the coolest things I have ever gotten the chance to do. Some of the sharks even sueface and you can see their fins cutting through the water like Jaws. They are very non-agressive...they know you are there but they could care less...they just want some crab. I was able to go mid-March during whale watching season and the whales gave us a great show...one actually came out of the water about 100 yards from the boat, it was absolutely breath taking. I would definitely go again and drag everyone I know! Thank you North Shore Shark Encounters for an unforgettable experience!!

Circle Island Sightseeing & Polynesian Cultural Center Full-Day Tour
A great way to see the island
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/04/07This is a great way to see the island. The driver was very knowledgeable, and we visited some beautiful areas. We had about 15 min. at each stop, which was fine, except at the Dole plantation. Honestly, I dont know why they bother. In 15 min we had time to get our ice cream, and that was it. No time to browse the gift shop at all, or browse the grounds at all. Either allow more time at Dole, or skip it altogether. The driver could use a bell of some sort. We often had to wait for people who didnt return when they were supposed to. I dont know if those delays made much difference, we still got to the Polynesian Cultural Center around 1pm, which was plenty of time. The evening show after the luau was fantastic.

ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー 迫力満点！至近距離で野生のサメを見学 送迎付きプランあり
船酔い注意。
Reviewed by: しず, 2012/03/24小型の船で行きますが、
横揺れがかなりありましたので、
気分が悪くなっている方もいらっしゃいました。
→海にモドシマス。。。
檻の中に入りますので、安全ですが、
波が結構荒くて、大変っていえば大変です。
檻の中の場所によって、
写真がよく撮れたり、サメが近くに見れたり
多少は差があると思います。
私は必死で潜って写真とりましたが、
ゴーグルして、水中カメラ(インスタント)でしたので、
被写体がずれたり、
日陰がうまく写ってくれなくて、悲しかった。
でも、サメの鋭い目は記憶にはっきりとあります♪
3月はまだ寒いので、羽織るものは必須です。
水着のままでいる方もいらっしゃいましたが、
海になれてない方は、
トレーナー位の厚さの上着でも良いと思います。
終わっての感想ですが、
また参加したい(笑)♪

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation
Best Experience E-V-E-R
Reviewed by: Josh G, 2012/03/23Booked this activity about 2 weeks before I left for Oahu. Pure excitement before launch. It was a quick ride out to the location, easy intrusctions and pure fun and amazement being able to see sharks in the natural habitit. They seemed to be flying effortlessly through the water around the cage and the boat and showed no aggression towards us, only curiousity. Such a great experience and wish I could of done it each day for the rest of my vacation. i highly recommend this for EVERYBODY.

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours
Beach Ride as Promised!!!
Reviewed by: Familyof4, 2012/02/08This horse ride was all it was promised to be!! We rode on the beach for a good long time! My family and I were looking to do horseback riding that wasn't just on a land trail. Staff was friendly and helpful.
A little more expensive compared to the other locations on the island, but the horses are wonderful and location by the beach makes it even better!

Reviewed by: Janny Buruma, 2012/02/02i had a great time with the shark adventure crew. the staff was very funny and gave lots of information! the sharks were amazing but didnt come to close to the cage when i was in there which i was hoping to see. if u are going with a large group of people u dont get to be in the water long either which i though it would be 30min but only ended up 15 min at most, but all in all great experience and i would do it again and i recommend it to anyone who visits the island.

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours
Wouldn't do this again
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/01/09It was OK. No transportation goes to this activity to start with, so you have to rent a car to get there. They ask you to be the 1/2 hour early, but there is no good reason why because they tell you to go take a walk and are late anyway. The reason you need to bring a swim suit is to use their pool. It has nothing to do with the ride which is nose to tail and they not only would not late us take a camera but never volunteered to take any for us. The woman who seemed to run the tour had no personality at all. But the scenery was awesome :)

Not worth the money
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/12/30My granddaughters and I went for the trail ride in November 2011 and were more excited about this activity than any other we were doing. We were told to be there 1/2 hour early and we were, but we had to wait, not only for other people, but for the instructors who said it was just because they were laid back. We then had to go through 1/2 hour of lecturing about the horses being athletes and spooked very easily and exactly how to do and not do EVERYTHING - from how to hold your hands almost to how to breath so you didn't spook these magnificent animals. We were not allowed to take cameras because the click of the camera may spook them and we were never offered the opportunity for anyone to take photos of us riding anywhere - especially on the beach. The unpleasant female who did all these instructions never came out of her funk. When we finally rode, the horses walked nose to tail and very slowly and never showed any signs of spunk or being spooked by anything. When we were done,

良かったですよ
Reviewed by: t.shiohara, 2011/12/28ロケーションも良く、また馬の調教もとても良くできていて、馬もおとなしいので安心して外乗できます。
初めはファミリーで常足外乗９０分しました。他の初心者のファミリーも参加しましたが安全に楽しくできました。
続いてキャンター外乗しましたが、放牧中のたくさんの馬や牛と出会いました。上級者の方も楽しめます。
ここは自販機が無いので飲料を持参するほうが良いと思います。
アメリカの素の牧場の雰囲気を味わえるRANCHでした。観光地化されていない分、素朴で良かったです。

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours
Unbelievable
Reviewed by: Scarantinos, 2011/12/01Me, I am not a horse lover. But I had a fantastic time. The horses were wonderful and easy to navigate.
My daughter, she rides every week. She loved the ride along the beach and really enjoyed riding western for a change.
My was has ridden before. She was a bit of a sceptic, but the beach ride got her too. She thoroughly enjoyed the ride and would love to do it again.
Highly recommended.

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation
Excellent, excellent!!
Reviewed by: Cy Talbot, England, 2011/11/03This trip is worth every penny if you haven't experienced something like this before, or even for another visit. They said we were guarranteed seeing some sharks and they didn't disappoint. On my trip we saw about 15 - 20 circling the cage.
Shuttle bus picked me up from the hotel on time and we were taken to the harbour in the north. Boat ride out to the cage was about 3 miles (20 mins or so) and then the passengers were split into 3 groups of 8, each group having 20 mins in the water surrounded by 10ft sharks. Great!! No need to be nervous, you're totally safe in the cage.
The staff were friendly and ready to answer questions.
Would recommend one of the earlier trips, i went for the 9am one.
One final tip, take at least two underwater cameras as the shots are amazing!!!

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours
Saddle up
Reviewed by: M Ramsburg, 2011/10/15The ride itself was very nice along the beach area. I was a first time rider and the staff work with me providing instructions on controlling the horse, so don't be afraid to try this experience if you have never rode a horse.
The only difficulty is that we were staying in Waikiki and the event took place on the North Shore. There is no transportation options offered by the event, but we rented a car for the day and were able to tour more of the island following the ride.
Overall, I highly recommend this activity.

Circle Island Sightseeing & Polynesian Cultural Center Full-Day Tour
Very interesting, time flew
Reviewed by: Lars D, 2011/09/28The activity lasted 14 hours, but we were never bored and the time seemed to fly by. A great guide/bus driver in Henry, an entertaining samoan, helped greatly.
You get to see many of the famous beaches, mountains and other parts of Oahu, as well as the Dole plant (where we spent so little time that it was almost a waste) and the Polynesian cultural center.
The buffet was OK, as expected, but nothing special. The shows before and after though, were very good. A must see for all visiting Oahu.
Good value for the money.

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours
Horseback riding
Reviewed by: Sandy, 2011/08/18The place was about an hour away from Honolulu but that wasn't problem. The website said to be there 30 min early and we were but the horse handlers said that wasn't neccessary. They were short handed and we ended up waiting more than an hour to ride but the place was majestic so we weren't bothered by the wait. The guides prepared us and were concerned about everyones safety. The ride was perfect. They guides were professional and took time to take our pictures while we were on the beach. I would do it again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Hawaii.. It was a great family experience.

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours
Boring! Boring! Boring!!!
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/08/18My family and I enjoy horseback riding but this one was not up to par. I booked a private lesson and was told we would be able to do more with the horses beside just walking them and also would not be a nose to tail ride but that's exactly what it was. We were told many things but none were true. A couple of the horses did not like having another horse so close to it's tail so they would constantly kick backwards. You're only on the beach for a short time to cross to the dusty path were you spend most of the time until you cross back over the beach to go back to the club. Our guide was also an unpleasant women who never spoke unless it was to tell us what we were doing wrong. It was definetely not worth the money we spent and would not go back.

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/07/21Horseback riding has always been a really fun pastime for me, and I especially thought after seeing the ad on your site that this particular ride seemed different and unique. And it was!
The horses themselves are polo horses....and wow...are they beautiful. Very different from most ranch horses i have seen...and the ride itself...all I have ever been on have been on ranches along dusty trails or in the woods...THIS WAS ON THE BEACH...RIGHT BY THE WATER...IN HAWAII!! I honestly think I don't need to say anymore! On the beach...in Hawaii!

not what the website says
Reviewed by: Lesley Richardson, 2011/07/21I choose this horsebackriding venue because of the website which stated they are not your typical trail ride. According to the ad we would not be riding nose to tail - that's exactly what we had to do--- also the ad stated we would be free to ride the horses to our ability-absolutely not, we were not allowed out of the line or to go faster than a walk or to go ahead of the guide-who was a most unpleasant woman. Also the beach part of the ride was very limited. The only high marks I give are to the horses!! They were not your typical trail horses. Overall I was disappointed, especially considering the high cost.

Shark week every week
Reviewed by: Maj Juul, 2011/07/13Having seen too much "Shark Attack" and "Shark Week" on Animal Planet and Discovery Channel, I wasn't too happy with my decision to do this activity. Though when I went in the cage, I wasn't scared at all, but fascinated by the beautiful creatures that sorrounded us. Just a tip; bring motion sickness pills. P.s. I'm not scared of sharks anymore.

ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー 迫力満点！至近距離で野生のサメを見学 送迎付きプランあり
面白かったです！
Reviewed by: さみてぃ, 2011/07/05夫婦で参加しました。
妻は当初参加に不安でしたが、檻に入ってみると鮫はきれいで、鮫は人を襲わない安全な種類と分かったので、珍しい体験を楽しんでいました。
鮫は小魚が近くを泳いでいても食べる気配なしで、迫力という点では、ちょっと物足りないかも。
夫婦二人とも次はホオジロザメのような危ない鮫を見たいねと話していました。
使い捨ての水中カメラを買っていきましたが、波で揺れて写真を撮るのが難しかったです。
デジカメで画面を見ながら大量に撮れるように、防水ケースを買えばよかったなと思いました。

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation
Last Day in Hawaii
Reviewed by: Tim From Kansas, 2011/05/30The worst thing about the trip was I had to go home. I did the 7 am tour and the staff was great. The boat was nice and clean everything was way above board. I bought the video and I watched as soon as I got back home on the mainland and I still cant believe the beautiful sharks and how many of them were in the waters it was not what I expected but thankful. If you are reading my post you better do this.. One of the best tours I went on while I was in Hawaii...My last comment I cant wait to do it again someday..

From the time we got on the bus it was laughter from Everyone! Polynesian CC was just way beyond our expectations - we could not get enough. By the end of the day we were pooped!

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours
a different kind of ride
Reviewed by: apelila, 2011/04/14My new husband and I booked a private ride with the Hawaii Polo Club while on our honeymoon. I've been on several other guided horseback trail rides in the past, but this was a little different. For one thing, the horses are actually polo-horses, not the standard "follow-the-leader" horses of a typical ranch. Because of this, you are better off if you have at least a little experience in handling horses. There were a few times that loud noises or unfamiliar things on the path caused some skittishness.
One thing that made me a little uncomfortable was that my activity voucher said we would need to sign a liability waiver before the ride. I assume this is a standard practice, but the staff at the club just saddled up our horses, and off we went. No forms, no waivers, they didnt even tell us their names, nor did they ask ours. Good thing (for them) our slightly skittish horses didnt dump us on our heads.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the ride on the beach, the views were a

ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー 迫力満点！至近距離で野生のサメを見学 送迎付きプランあり
こんな日もあるさ・・・
Reviewed by: akkiy, 2011/03/07私達は、現地集合にしてバスで行きました。
ホテルから、アラモアナセンターまで行き、乗り換えて52番のバスに乗り、一応運転手に”ハレイワ・スモールボートハーバー”と伝えて降りる場所を教えてももらって無事集合時間ギリギリに到着しました。
アラモアナセンターからバス来るまで結構待ちました。
私達以外の日本人は1組だけで、他は皆船は外国人で国際豊かでした。
アランネットで見たとおり、注意事項など日本語で書かれたファイルを渡されるくらいで説明は全部英語でしたが、ジェスチャーで海への入り方を説明されるので、見てればなんとかなります。
沖まで10分~15分位まで移動し、波も中々の揺れで、乗り物に弱い私は酔い止め飲んでも結構酔いました。
檻の中には4人づつ入りました。
楽しみにしていたので、具合悪い中でも念願のサメに会えると張り切って人より長く海にもぐってましたが、何匹か小魚は近くにいたものの、残念ながらサメはかなり深く遠くの下の方に小さく子サメ？が通り過ぎただけでほとんど見れず、ステッカーをもらって返金になりました・・・
でもスタッフの方々はとてもいい人たちだったので、また次回、絶対挑戦しようと思ってます。
帰りはハレイワを散策してから帰りました。

Dream Ride
Reviewed by: Teener49er, 2011/03/07This was an awesome ride on the beach. And YES you DO ride on the beach. The area is beautiful and could see the whales playing in the ocean as we rode. The white sands of the beaches against the turquoise water was breathtaking.
I took the private ride and it is definitely not a standard trail ride. The polo horses were very well behaved and easy to ride. I recommend this to anyone who loves horses and has always wanted to ride on the beach in Hawaii.
Would definitely book this again when back on the island.

Shark Dive
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/02/06Awesome experience! Nothing like it. Plenty of parking and in an awesome area, Haleiwa. The ride out to the cage was not long, before a short safety brief. Once in the cage, it's a unique feeling to know one of the oceans apex predetors are swimming around you. They get pretty close, and is well worth price of the tour. A definite must do if visiting the island!

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa
Shark Encounter
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/01/28Staff were a crack up and made the whole trip full of laughs. From the moment we got out on the boat we saw dolphins and whales so it was a bonus. Sharks appeared right away when you travel a bit further out so it was good there was no waiting around or searching like other tours. The experience was amazing. The staff kept the nature of the sharks a mystery untill you finish your turn. Only then do they tell you that the sharks are complete pussy cats and have never attacked anyone. This added to the adventure and adrenalin rush of the experience. Inside the cage you see LOTS of LARGE sharks. We had 6 sharks surrounding us. Highly recommended!
