Waipio Valley Waterfalls & Horseback Riding Tour with Naalapa Stables [Closed]

Breath taking tour back in time

Reviewed by: Terry Charbonneau

We booked our tour of the Waipio valley with the hope of a different type of Hawaiian adventure. Jaime was our well versed guide. His humour and eagerness to share his vast knowledge of Hawaii history, as well as the flora and fauna of the valley made the tour quite memorable. However the ability to rid beautiful beautiful ,well mannered horses in such a magical historical setting made the the rid unforgettable. My hats off to Jaime
and the rest of the wonderful staff that made this the
best Horse back ride that we have ever exprienced. This is definately some
thing that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.

ワイピオ渓谷　乗馬ツアー　絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

Horseback riding in nature is the best! However... 大自然の中での乗馬は最高！ ですが…

Reviewed by: タケのコ

I rode a horse for an hour and a half in the great outdoors of Waipi'o Valley. I truly enjoyed it. However, I believe that a certain level of intermediate English proficiency is absolutely necessary for this tour, as you need to understand natural-speed English and be able to express yourself clearly in English.

I arrived at the meeting place 30 minutes early and wasn't sure where the check-in area was, so I asked in English if check-in was necessary, but the answer was NO. Just before the time, I asked another Japanese tour participant, who told me that the check-in was done at the back, so I hurried to complete the process. Then, I was scolded for being too slow in English.

Up until a certain point after the tour started, everything was going well and I was having fun, but my wife's horse got startled and began to act up after bumping into the horse behind it, causing a rodeo-like situation, and my wife was almost in tears. Even then, she was reprimanded for her riding style.

I think it's a tour that potential participants should consider the risk that even an amateur riding normally could lead to a horse acting up. While I was very satisfied with the content of the tour, my wife felt very scared and uncomfortable. I wish she could have expressed in English that it wasn't her fault when the horse started acting up...

If nothing happens, you can enjoy it by following along, but I want everyone to be aware of the risks mentioned. The only time we received a smile was when they were accepting tips...

ワイピオ渓谷の大自然の中を馬に乗って、１時間半。本当に堪能させてもらいました。
が、このツアーはナチュラルスピードの英語が聞き取れ、しっかりと英語で意思表示できるくらいの中級英語力は絶対必要なツアーだと思いました。
30分前に集合場所に到着し、受付場所がよくわからないのでチェックインは必要なのか？頑張って英語で聞いたところ、NO。時間ギリギリで別の日本人ツアー参加者に聞いたところ、奥で手続しましたと言われ慌てて手続き。すると、英語であまりにも遅いとケンカ腰でまくしたてられました。
ツアーが始まってから途中までは何事もなく、楽しく過ごしていたのですが、妻の馬が後ろの馬にぶつかられて驚き暴れだしてロデオ状態になり、妻は半泣き状態になりましたが、ここでも妻の乗り方が悪いと叱責する始末。
素人が普通に乗って馬が暴れるようなリスクが一定の可能性であることも、頭に入れて申込みを検討された方がいいと思うツアーです。
ツアーの内容自体は大満足でしたが、妻はとても怖く、不快な思いをしました。せめて馬が暴れだしたのは自分のせいじゃないとしっかり英語で話せたらとも…
何もなければ、見よう見まねで楽しめますが、記載したリスクがあることは皆さんにお伝えしたいと思います。チップを受け取るときだけでしたよ、我々に笑顔だったのは…

It takes about an hour and a half by car from Kailua-Kona to the meeting point, and I arrived without getting lost thanks to the map. We took the shop's van down the steep slopes of Waipi'o Valley to reach the starting point for horseback riding. Along the course, we crossed rivers, saw several waterfalls, and observed wild plants and fruits growing along the side paths. The horses were calm, and I never felt in danger as we enjoyed a fun hour and a half. This is a highly recommended tour that takes you to places that are not easily accessible on foot.

Great horses, magnificent ranch

Reviewed by: BeePos

The horses were really well trained, no skill was required to ride them. We had a couple of chances to canter, but due to the different skill levels of the riders, we only cantered for only a couple of minutes total. One lady lost her cellphone during the canter and we all had to stop while the guides looked for it in the tall grass. They weren't able to find it and we lost some time and further opportunities to canter. The views from our trail were amazing, and it was a great way to spend a morning. If we could've split up according to skill level so who wanted to go faster could, as there were 3 guides to about 6-8 riders, then I would've given it 5 stars.

This was one of the top highlights of our trip. The van ride into and out of the valley is an adventure all of it's own. The guides were just awesome. The family of one had lived in the valley for generations and he was very knowledgeable about the area. The other one was just a riot. The horses also had more spunk than your average trail horse, too. Some of them had been wild horses not too long ago. I don't know if these guys do a longer ride, but I would definitely sign up for it if they did.

Reviewed by: naonao

This was my first time participating in horseback riding at the Kohala Coast. Previously, I rode in Waipi'o Valley. Riding in Waipi'o was quite thrilling, as the horse would wade through the river, almost getting our feet wet, and it was a lot of fun. However, this year, due to concerns about Zika and dengue fever, I opted for horseback riding in the mountains.

All the staff were women, and they were all adorable cowgirls. They let us run the horses at times, which gave a very free impression. Helmets, boots, and jackets for riding can be rented on-site. You can hang a pocket on the horse's back to carry water bottles, valuables, and cameras.

At scenic spots, they took photos for us. I highly recommend horseback riding on the Big Island!

今回、コハラ・コーストでの乗馬ははじめての参加です。以前はワイピオ渓谷での乗馬でした。ワイピオも水に足が浸かりそうな程ジャブジャブと川の中を馬の背に揺られたりしてかなりスリリングな体験ができて楽しかったですが、今年はジカ熱やデング熱の心配があるからと、山の上での乗馬にしました。
スタッフは全員女性。かわいいカウガールばかりでした。途中で走らせてくれたり、かなり自由な印象です。乗馬用のヘルメットやブーツ、上着などはその場でレンタルできます。馬の背にポケットを下げて、ペットボルや貴重品、カメラなどを持つことができます。
景色の良いところでは、写真を撮っていただけました。

Interacting with the horses was also very soothing. I was moved by the beauty of the coastline.

I decided to go to the Big Island because I wanted to participate in this. Even as a complete beginner, I was able to join in without any issues. There were guests at both the front and the back. Although they weren't part of our team, I saw another team that included children around elementary school age.

However, please note that no Japanese is spoken here. It was a wonderful experience to ride horses and enjoy a forest bath in such beautiful and majestic scenery.

By the way, I heard that clouds tend to gather more in the afternoon, so I participated in the morning session.

The day before, I stayed at Waipio Wayside B&B, which is about a 10-minute drive from the meeting point for this tour, and I highly recommend this B&B. I would love to stay there again.

Reviewed by: ロミロミ

I had previously participated in horseback riding in Waipi'o Valley on the Big Island, but this time I joined a horseback riding tour for the first time at the vast "Kohala Coast," which is less than an hour from Waikoloa Beach Resort. The view from the high elevation overlooking the coastline leading to the ranch was spectacular, and I really enjoyed the drive with the rental car.

There were only four of us women on the tour, which made me a bit anxious, but the guide communicated in broken Japanese, and we managed to confirm the necessary precautions through gestures, allowing us to start safely. The explanations during the tour were in English, so I didn't understand much. However, all the horses were calm and well-trained, so I felt safe letting myself go. I enjoyed the fresh air in the vast grasslands while admiring the scenery from horseback, and I had a great time on the "one and a half hour course"!

今までハワイ島でワイピオ渓谷での乗馬に参加していましたが、今回ワイコロアビーチリゾートから１時間弱、大草原「コハラ・コースト」での乗馬に初めて参加しました。標高が高く牧場へ向かう海岸線を見下ろす眺望は素晴らしく、レンタカーでのドライブも結構楽しめました。
ツアー参加者は私達女性４人のみで多少不安でしたが、案内は片言の日本語で何とか身振り手振りで諸注意事項も確認し合い無事にスタートが切れました。途中での説明は「英語」なので、分からない。どの馬も大人しくて良く調教されているので安心して身を任せ、大草原の中美味しい空気を吸いながら馬上から見渡す景色にも感嘆しつつ「１時間半コース」を満喫！！できました。

A magnificent experience on a grand scale. 壮大なスケールで素晴らしい体験

Reviewed by: てつこママ

A vast ranch where I went for my first horseback riding experience. I received guidance from two friendly and wonderful women, and then it was time to challenge myself. I was surprised that I had to ride the horse on my own right away, but the horses were quite accustomed to it. When we picked up the pace a bit, I got scared and asked to walk slowly instead. However, going up and down the mountain slopes and through the muddy areas kept my heart racing the whole time. My husband, who doesn't speak English, seemed to have a hard time expressing his thoughts, but aside from that, it was truly a refreshing and wonderful experience. We participated in the one-and-a-half-hour plan, and later I felt muscle soreness in my inner thighs, so I was glad we didn't choose the three-hour option. If I visit the Big Island again, I would love to participate once more.

初めての乗馬に訪れたとてつもなく広い牧場。フレンドリーで素敵な女性二人に指導を受け、さあ挑戦。いきなり自分で馬を駆りついて行かなくてはならないのにはビックリしたけど馬達は慣れたものでした。途中で少し速足になった時は恐くなり、ゆっくり歩くだけにしてもらいました。でも山の斜面を登ったり下ったり、ぬかるみの中に入っていったりでずっとドキドキ。英語の喋れない主人は思ったことを伝えられず大変だったようですがそれ以外は本当に爽快で素晴らしい体験になりました。私たちは1時間半のプランに参加したのですが、後で内股に筋肉痛があり3時間にしなくて良かったと思いました。次回ハワイ島に訪れることがあればまた参加したいと思います。

Reviewed by: Jenny

The tour guides were very nice and skilled at their jobs: driving down the rocky, curvy road to the horse barn and then helping everyone enjoy their time on their horses. Although my horse was not the most obedient, the guides always tried to help me keep up with the group and have patience with me and the horse. I definitely enjoyed my first time horseback riding especially since the walk around the area was very beautiful. After this experience, I definitely learned how to ride a horse (lead it, understand its needs, etc) and also appreciate how beautiful Waipio valley is.

In 2013, I became hooked on horseback riding at Mendes Ranch on Maui, and I took lessons in Japan (about 110 rides) and obtained a level 4 certification.

Even elementary school students can do it!! 小学生でも大丈夫!!

Reviewed by: yoshikunland

Drive from Hilton Waikoloa to the location.
Make sure to familiarize yourself with the route using Google Maps or similar services.
There is a shopping center at a midpoint where you can take a restroom break.
If you don’t get lost, you can arrive in about an hour.

It's okay if you can't speak English.
The only time you’ll need to communicate is when learning how to ride the horse, so gestures and simple phrases should be sufficient. (If you have some English skills, you might be spoken to during the ride or in the vehicle...)

The horses move slowly in a single file along well-maintained mountain paths.
They do not enter grassy areas or dense forests, so your clothes won’t get too dirty.
The order of the horses is determined by their rank within the group you ride with, so companions will likely be scattered.

As a note for riding, be careful when the horse drinks water or eats grass, as the reins may suddenly pull downwards.
Other than that, the horses are well-trained, and even elementary school students (3rd and 4th grade) managed just fine.

It seems that the kids enjoyed horseback riding more than shopping in Honolulu!

ヒルトンワイコロアからレンタカーで現地へ。
地図はグーグルマップなどでよく予習して行きましょう。
中間地点位にトイレ休憩出来るショッピングセンターがあります。
迷わなければ1時間位で到着できます。

英語は、出来なくても大丈夫。
会話が必要なのは、馬の乗り方を教わる時だけなので、ジェスチャーと片言で理解は出来るかと思います。(ある程度英語が出来ると、移動車内や乗馬時に話しかけられますが・・)

馬は、整備された山道をゆっくりと1列になって進みます。
草むらや密林には入らないので、心配するほど衣服も汚れません。
馬の順番は、乗った馬の群れの中での順位で決まるので、同行者はほぼバラバラになります。

乗馬時の注意事項としては、馬が水を飲んだり草を食べたりする時、手綱が急に下向きに引っ張られるので気をつけて下さい。
それ以外はよく訓練されているので、小学生(4年・3年)でも余裕でした。

やはり子供は、ホノルルで買い物よりも乗馬が楽しかったようです!。

Second time riding at Waipi'o. 2度目のワイピオ乗馬

Reviewed by: うーたん

I participated once with my mother and daughter, and a second time with my family of three.

The wild paths that you can never experience in Japan are truly exhilarating, and the breathtaking views when you reach an open area are moving no matter how many times you see them.

The tour guide is a local from Waipi'o Valley, so they are very knowledgeable about the names of the lush trees and waterfalls, but of course, all the explanations are in English. Additionally, the formation is determined by the personality of the horse you are paired with, so if you get too far from the guides, you might not even hear the explanations (laughs).

For those who can enjoy such aspects and want to feel the vitality of Hawaii, I highly recommend this tour!

1度目は母娘2人で参加、2度目は家族3人で参加しました。

日本の乗馬体験では決して味わえないワイルドな道をずんずんと進み、
開けた場所に出た時のスケールの大きな景色は何度見ても感動します。

ツアーガイドはワイピオ渓谷の現地の方なため、生い茂る木々の名前や
滝の名前にはとても詳しいのですが、説明は当然すべて英語。
さらに隊列は相棒となった馬の性格で決まるため、2、3名つくガイドさんと
遠く離れてしまうと説明すら聞こえなくなってしまいます(笑)

そんなところも楽しめる方、ハワイの生命力を肌で感じたい方には
是非お勧めしたいツアーです！

Horseback is maybe the best way to experience the Waipeo Valley. Our guides and horses were very experienced.

We participated as a group of five: three adults and two children (ages 10 and 13). There were also four American family members, making a total of nine people in the group. The young woman who checked us in at the meeting point drove a 4WD to the stable at the bottom of the valley, and she led us on horseback. A young man followed behind us. My horse was very well-behaved and hardly needed any reins, but my sister's and niece's horses tended to stray from the line to eat grass or started running a bit, which required some attention in the beginning. However, the young man behind us quickly helped, so there was no need to worry. For a full two hours, we were healed by the vibrant green of the valley and the sound of hooves, and everyone was very satisfied with the activity.
