I trusted the reviews and signed up for the tour. Since I applied just before the tour, I was anxious because I didn't receive a reply, but my reservation was confirmed without any issues. After arriving at the meeting point, various tours had buses picking them up, but there were no signs. When I asked the guide, I was told that this bus was not for the horseback riding tour, and after about 15 minutes, we finally departed. It was difficult to understand the guide's English. I was the only Asian participant. We descended a steep path, crossed a river, and switched horses. My horse was very smart, gentle, and quite cute. Many of the horses had a laid-back vibe, similar to the people of Hawaii. During the tour, the guide's two dogs (both very friendly and cute) followed us the whole time. I felt that the tour duration was just right.

口コミを信じて、ツアーに申し込みました。
直前に申し込んだため返信もなく不安でしたが、問題なく予約されてました。
集合場所に着いた後は色々なツアーが迎えにきたバスに乗りこむのですが、
表示がなく、ガイドさんに聞いたら乗馬ツアーはこれじゃないといわれ、
１５分ほど時間がすぎて出発しました。ガイドさんの英語が聞きとりが難しかったです。
アジア人は私一人でした。傾斜のきつい道を下り、川を渡り馬に乗り換えます。
私の馬はとても賢い、穏かな馬でとてもかわいかったです。
馬もハワイの人の様に大らかな感じの馬が多かったです。
ツアー中はガイドさんの飼い犬（２匹ともとてもフレンドリーでかわいいです）が
ずっと私たちのあとをついてきました。ツアー時間もちょうど良かった様に思います。

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

Breathtaking experience

Reviewed by: MrsCairns

My newlywed husband and I LOVED this ride. our guide Grace(?) was friendly, knowledgeable, down to earth and very kind with the horses.
horses were very sweet for the most part, clean and well taken care of. barn was also in good shape. advertised as 3 hour ride but with the drive to the barn, info session and saddling up/down the ride itself was 2 hours, which was fine for us. breathtaking ride through Waipio valley. beautiful scenery that can't be matched. only bad part is our bums hurt the next day from sitting in the saddle! :D
would love to go again!

It's a relaxing and leisurely healing activity. のんびりゆったり癒しのアクティビティです。

Reviewed by: りゅう

Last time, I experienced horseback riding at a ranch on the Big Island, and it left a lasting impression, so this time I participated in a horseback riding tour in Waipi'o Valley.

It was not difficult at all, and the horses followed along quietly in line, making it a truly relaxing activity. While gazing at the Waipi'o Valley, which is said to be a power spot, the only sound was the hoofbeats of the horses, which I think is the very essence of "healing." On the other hand, if you're looking for the feeling of "controlling the horse," it might be better to run freely at a ranch.

The location of the shop might be a bit hard to find. It's more reliable to go to the observation deck first and then come back.

Horseback riding while enjoying the majestic ocean of the Big Island, and leisurely viewing the healing valley from the back of a horse—either way, horseback riding is recommended as an activity to savor the land of Hawaii.

前回、ハワイ島の牧場で乗馬を体験し、とても心に残ったので、
今回はワイピオ渓谷の乗馬ツアーに参加しました。

少しも難しいことはなく、馬も大人しく列に着いていくので、
本当にのんびりできるアクティビティでした。
パワースポットと言われるワイピオ渓谷をながめながら、
馬の足音だけが響く空間はまさに「癒し」そのものだと思います。
逆に「馬を操っている感」は薄いので、それを求めるなら牧場で自由に駆け回るほうがいいかも。

お店の場所はちょっとわかりにくいかもしれません。
一度、展望台まで行ってから戻ってきたほうが確実です。

ハワイ島の雄大な海を観ながら牧場を駆け回る乗馬、
癒しの谷をのんびりと馬の背から眺める乗馬、
いずれにしてもハワイの大地を味わうアクティビティとして、
乗馬はオススメです。

A fun time 楽しい時間

Reviewed by: ピロちゃん

I had seen Waipi'o Valley from above, but next time, I definitely want to ride through the valley, as my husband hopes. We were a Japanese couple among the foreign participants. It was a fun time, leisurely riding through the forest and sometimes splashing across the river. When a foreigner spurred their horse, mine reacted and charged into the river at an incredible speed—it was truly surprising! Since it was my second time riding, I held onto the reins tightly, worried about letting go, and I was relieved that nothing happened. (My husband was also worried he might fall off!) Next time, a buggy ride sounds interesting too!

ワイピオ渓谷を上から眺めた事は有ったけど、次回は是非渓谷を乗馬でと言う主人の希望で参加外国人の方達に日本人のカップルと私達夫婦でした。
林の中をゆったりと時には川もザブザブと渡りながらの楽しい時間でした。
外国人の方が自分の馬をけしかけ、それに私の乗った馬が反応し、すごい勢いで川に突進して
いった時は本当にビックリ！二度目の乗馬だったので、手綱を離すものかと握りしめ何事も
無くてホッとしましたが。（主人も落馬するかとヒヤッとしたそうです！）

Refreshing! 爽快！

Reviewed by: のもてぃ

We participated as a family in mid-March. To enter the Waipi'o Valley, you can go by car, horse-drawn carriage, four-wheeler, or horseback. Since our child wasn't old enough to drive a buggy, we chose to ride horses. It was our family's first horseback riding experience, lasting about two hours, and we were able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The weather was great, making it a perfect day.

After checking in, we browsed some nearby souvenirs until it was time to depart. First, we took a large 4WD van from the top of the valley down to the horse stable office. This road was quite steep, and it seemed like only a 4WD could make it up. At one point, the vehicle almost got stuck while crossing a small river.

Two hours of horseback riding felt just right. Any longer, and I think my backside would have been in pain. There were nine participants in total: three from Europe and America, two from Asia, and our family of four. The instructions were in English, but surprisingly, the basics of handling the horse were easy enough for children to understand. There was also a discussion about helmets, and since they weren't required by the waiver, the kids were fine without them. Our family was very satisfied with our first horseback riding experience. It was exhilarating to have the horse move according to our will. At first, I was so focused on handling the horse that I didn't notice the scenery, but as I got used to it, I was able to fully enjoy the deep nature of Waipi'o.

I was surprised to learn that there are people living at the bottom of the valley. The instructor mentioned that she lived there as a child and commuted to school from there every day. She said her grandmother still lives there. Occasionally, we saw people walking, and greeting them from horseback made me feel a bit important, which was nice (laughs).

The price was reasonable, and we joined from Kona, enjoying the drive along the way. I highly recommend this tour. It was also great to see the buildings from the movie "Honeymoon in Hawaii" in the nearby town of Honokaa.

By the way, the horse I rode, named Paul, was a bit of a troublemaker. I think he probably got scolded the most by the instructor. It wasn't my riding skills, I swear—probably (laughs).

3月中頃に家族で参加してきました。
ワイピオの渓谷内に踏み入るには、車か馬車か4輪バギーか馬。
子供がバギーを運転できる年齢ではなかったので馬にしました。
約二時間の家族4人初乗馬体験でしたが安心して楽しめました。
天気も良く、最高の一日となりました。

受付を済ませ、近接したお土産物を見ているうちに出発時間。
まずは大きな４ＷＤのバンで渓谷の上から下の馬小屋事務所まで。
この道もすごい崖で4WD以外はちょっと登れなくなりそう。
途中、小さな川を渡るときも車がはまりかけました。

乗馬の2時間もちょうどいいかな。これ以上だとお尻が悲鳴をあげそうです。
参加人数は、9人でした。内欧米人が3人、アジア系が2人と我が家の4名。
説明は英語でしたが意外と基本の馬の扱いは簡単で、子供でも乗り方は十分理解できます。
何度か話題になってるヘルメットも誓約書に要らないとすれば子供もかぶらずにOKでしたよ。
初めての乗馬に家族も大満足。馬が自分の意思どおりに動くのは快感です。
前半は馬の扱いに夢中で景色に気が回りませんでしたが、慣れてくるとワイピオの深い大自然を堪能できました。

びっくりしたのは渓谷の下にも住んでいる人がいること。
インストラクターのお姉さんも子供のころは渓谷の下に住んでいて毎日そこから学校に
通っていたそうです。おばあちゃんは今でも住んでるって言ってた。
たまに歩いてる人がいるんだけど、馬の上から挨拶するとちょっと自分が偉くなったようで
気分がよかったです(笑)

お値段も安いし、KONAから参加したんですが途中のドライブもいい感じだし、
お勧めのツアーですね。
近くにあるホノカア（昔、ホノカアボーイという映画の舞台になった）の町で
映画の建物を見れたのも良かったです。

ちなみに私が乗ったポールという馬はちょっと暴れん坊でした。
たぶんインストラクターのお姉さんに一番怒られてたんじゃないかな。
私の乗馬の技術のせいではないですよ～、たぶん(笑)

After reading Satomi Kobayashi's "Aloha Spirit," I was looking forward to experiencing horseback riding in Waipi'o Valley when I visited the Big Island! About half of the participants were Japanese, and the other half were from English-speaking countries. There were only Japanese among the Asian participants.

It was my first time horseback riding, and I was nervous, but it was a very kind and enjoyable experience. I walked through the river and felt that I would like to try horseback riding again. It was a great experience to feel the great nature of Waipi'o Valley up close.

I have experienced horseback riding in Hawaii several times, and here you can ride through the river, and the dogs that are kept here are adorable, which is irresistible for dog lovers ❤. However, mosquitoes attacked us while riding, so we got bitten a lot. My daughter (who might be under 18) didn't want to wear the helmet because it smelled bad, but the cuteness of the horses made up for it. I wore water shoes so that my shoes wouldn't get dirty. Next time, I will bring insect repellent as well.

Kohala Kahua Ranch Horseback Ride

It rains a lot on the mountain so it was postponed twice. We were looking for a more relaxed, free ride which they intimated but it was not quite what we were looking for. There were four other people, most of whom didn't know what they were doing. So maybe if it was just my daughter and I, it would have been better. The ranch is nice and if you're inexperienced and just looking for a mostly plodding experience, it's a good activity. Using VELTRA was a good experience. They have a very good system.

Authentic 本格的

Reviewed by: とぴこ

You can enjoy an hour and a half of horseback riding. The grasslands stretch as far as the eye can see! The instructions are in English, so if you don't understand English, it's better to read the instructions hanging on the wall before participating. There are hills, making it thrilling. While your horse is eating grass, the other horses move ahead, and you might find yourself trying to catch up with the group, which left me, as a beginner, exhausted by the end. You can really enjoy it to the point where you wonder if you still have to walk!

１時間半みっちり乗馬ができます。見渡す限りの草原！説明は英語なので英語がわからない人は事前に壁にかけてある説明書きを読んでから参加した方がよいです。坂があったりでスリル満天。自分のお馬さんが草を食べている間に他のお馬さんがどんどん進んでいくと、その群れに追いつこうと走り出したりするので、乗馬初心者の私は終わるころにはぐったり。まだ歩くのか・・・というぐらい満喫できます！

Guided Waipio Valley Horseback Riding & Waterfall Tour [Closed]

The Best Hawaiian Ride, with a Local Hawaiian !

Reviewed by: Stephanie C.

This is the best hawaiian experience ever…I have done this twice! Not the typical tour, a local hawaiian Mika, takes you on a personal tour, with local folklore about the menehunas, he shows the local fruit, plants, how the hawaiian grew the taro plant..and then we can eat and taste the local fruit. I ride horses, and have ridden many a tourist rides, all over my travels, but this my favorite, the spiritual Waipio Valley with a local guide. Local horses (and you ride by wild mustangs in the valley) amazing to see.! ,Even my co-worker, from NY who has never been on a horse, loved it and feeling so close to nature and the culture. I will go on this ride every time I come to Big Island!
My favorite Hawaiian experience..you feel very connected with the culture, and nature.

I participated alone, but I was with a Japanese couple. The guide, who didn’t speak much English, just walked silently at a slow pace.

I won't be horseback riding in Hawaii again.

Being in Waipi'o Valley itself was wonderfully refreshing. It would be tough to walk since you have to cross rivers and navigate bumpy paths, but I don't like cars, so it was a fun experience unique to horseback riding. However, since we were moving slowly and following the person in front of us, it was a bit boring that we couldn't go ahead or run.

ワイピオ渓谷にいること自体がすばらしく気持ちよかった。川を渡ったりでこぼこ道を行ったりするので歩くのは大変だろうけど、車は好きではないので乗馬ならではの楽しい経験でした。ただ、前の人にくっついてゆっくりなので、先に行ったり走ったりができないのでその点はちょっとつまらないです。

Galloping across the vast grasslands. 大草原を駈ける

Reviewed by: Yoshi

I participated because I wanted to ride in a wide open space, as the riding club was only within a circle. Since the riding styles were different, both the horses and I were a bit confused at first, but we quickly got used to it and started moving. The horses were calm and well-trained, knowing the route, so they responded well to just a little cue. The feeling of galloping across the vast grasslands was the best!

Before starting, regarding the rental coats, it was more of a "feel free to use them if you want" attitude. The weather was nice, and we were wearing jackets, plus the rental coats weren't very clean, so we intended not to borrow one. However, since many people (we were the only Japanese) were borrowing them, I asked, "Should I wear a coat?" and was told, "It's better to wear one because it's cold." Indeed, once we got out to the grasslands, the wind was very strong, and it was the right decision to borrow a coat.

In Japan, there would likely be polite advice given at the beginning... They were very nice people, but I definitely felt the culture of personal responsibility in America.

乗馬クラブではサークルの中だけなので、広いところで乗馬がしたくて参加しました。
乗馬スタイルが違うので、最初は人間も馬も少し戸惑いましたが、すぐに慣れて動きました。
馬は性格もおとなしくよく馴れていて路も知っているので、少しの合図でよく言うことを聞いてくれます。
大草原を駈ける気分は最高でした！
スタート前に貸出のコートについて「使うんだったらどうぞ」という感じでした。
天気も良く私達は上着を着ていたし、貸出コートもあまりきれいではなく、借りないつもりでしたが多くの人が(日本人は私達だけ)借りていたので「コートは着たほうがいい？」と聞くと「寒いから着たほうがいい」との事でした。確かに草原に出るととても風が強く、コートを借りて正解でした。
日本だったら最初に丁寧なアドバイスがあるだろうに・・・
とても感じの良い人たちでしたが、さすがにアメリカ自己責任の文化を実感しました。

Lovely ride in Waipo Valley

Reviewed by: carrie

As a horseowner I am always a little leery of trail riding at unknown stables but I was pleasantly surprised to see the good condition and decent manners of these horses. They were very suitable to carry a wide variety of sizes and experience of riders. The ride itself was well escorted by friendly staff and the scenery was beautiful and enjoyed at a steady walking pace with the opportunity to take photographs of the beautiful and unique valley. The van ride down into and up out of the valley was an adventure in itself with amazing views. Shop at the art/gift store where you park as they have lots of lovely stuff at good prices.

I would rate this a "must do" on your trip to Big Island.

Definitely give it a try! 是非トライしてみて

Reviewed by: どらみふぁ

I participated for the first time two years ago, recommended by the hotel concierge. We had no horseback riding experience and our English was not great, but it turned out to be an incredibly fun activity, so this is our second time joining. Just like last time, everyone else in the group was from Europe or America, but that was not a problem at all. The instructions are in English, but I think you can get the general idea. Additionally, there are explanations in Japanese posted on the stable walls, so you can understand how to ride the horse from that.

The group consists of about 12 people, with one guide at the front and one at the back, and we ride through the canyon for about 1.5 hours. The horse I rode this time was a 10-year-old stallion named "Rocky," who seemed to be the leader of the group, always walking right behind the front guide. Because of that, even though I couldn't understand the guide's English, I was able to listen to the explanations well.

This activity offers a wonderful experience of exploring the natural beauty of Waipi'o Valley, sometimes splashing through the river with the water up to the horses' bellies, making it so enjoyable that I want to go back for a second or third time. Also, when getting out of the car at the end, I noticed that the Europeans were giving tips to the guides, so don't forget that. We also gave a $30 tip for the two of us.

初回の参加は2年前で、ホテルのコンシェルジェに薦められて参加しました。乗馬経験も無く英語もダメな私たちですが、参加してみたら最高に楽しいアクティビティだったので、今回で2回目の参加です。前回と同様、私たち2人以外はすべて欧米人でしたが、全く問題ありません。説明は英語ですが、なんとなく雰囲気はわかると思います。それと厩舎の壁に日本語の説明書きが貼ってあるので、馬の乗り方はそれでわかると思います。1回あたり12人位のグループの先頭と最後尾にガイドさんが１人づつ付いて渓谷を約1.5時間の乗馬散策です。今回乗った馬は「ロッキー」という10歳の牡馬で、グループのリーダー格のようで、常に先頭のガイドさんの次を歩いていました。そのため、ガイドさんの英語がわからないながらも、説明をよく聞くことが出来ました。ワイピオ渓谷の自然の中で、時には川の中をジャブジャブと馬のお腹まで水に浸かりながら散策できるという、すばらしい体験ができるアクティビティなので2回、3回と行きたくなるくらいお薦めです。それと、最後に車を降りるときに、欧米人たちはガイドさんにチップを渡していたのでお忘れなく。私たちも2人で30ドルのチップを渡しました。

Compared to Dahana Ranch and Waipi'o Valley, the weather is often relatively good on the western slope, allowing for views of not only the vast grasslands but also the Pacific Ocean. The sun was strong, and I ended up with sunburned arms after a two-hour ride. All the horses were quite greedy, munching on grass all around. Aside from the fact that I fell off when my foot slipped out of the stirrup during a trot, leaving a bruise on my thigh, it was a satisfying tour.

ダハナランチやワイピオバレーに比べると西側斜面にあるため、比較的天候が良いことが多く、大草原だけでなく太平洋も見ることができる。陽射しが強かったこともあり、2時間のライドで腕だけ日焼けした。馬はみな食いしん坊で途中でそこら中の草を食べまくっていた。トロットで鐙から足が外れて落馬し大腿部に大字が残ったことを除けば満足のツアーである。

It's difficult to visit Waipi'o Valley without a tour. It's a very beautiful place. While horseback riding, you will splash through streams. However, horses are living creatures. They are well-trained, but they might graze, drink water, or stand still. If you can enjoy that aspect as well, it will be a very fun tour. The tour guides were really cool!

I felt so relaxed! のんびり癒されたー！

Reviewed by: ミッキー

I participated on the morning of July 29, 2014. It took less than an hour to drive from Waikoloa Beach Resort to Kahua Ranch by rental car. Along the way, as we ascended towards the ranch, we enjoyed a wonderful drive with views overlooking the coastline.

When we arrived at 9:30, the ranch was truly vast. We were the only participants, so we quickly chose helmets and boots (both optional) and got ready. Our bags and cameras could be placed in bags provided by the ranch that hang on the horses' backs. They also lent us parkas, which were just right for horseback riding in the cool ranch with wind at high altitude.

The guide was a young girl who didn't speak Japanese, but she seemed accustomed to Japanese people. The horse prepared for me was matched to my weight and height, which I had communicated in advance. After a brief explanation of how to handle the horse, we mounted and set off. I was anxious as a beginner, but the experienced girl said, "They are well-trained to be able to be handled with one hand." As we started walking, I quickly felt that was true and was able to relax. My horse was named Stormy, and being young, it always wanted to stay right behind the guide, sometimes trotting to overtake other horses, but other than that, it was very well-behaved.

At certain spots on the ranch, we were able to gallop, and the experienced girl enjoyed it. When I asked the guide to stop for photos, she kindly accommodated my request and took pictures for us.

Overall, we spent an hour and a half riding around the vast ranch, with the grass swaying in the wind, and along the way, we encountered sheep, cows, and free-range horses, which was very relaxing. (For my backside and back, I think the hour and a half course was just right! (laughs))

I truly felt liberated and had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.

９時半に現地に着くと、そこは本当に広大な牧場でした。参加者は私達だけで、さっそくヘルメットやブーツ（両方とも任意）を選び準備支度。荷物やカメラは、牧場側で用意している馬の背中にかけるタイプのカバンに入れて持って行けます。パーカーも貸してくれ、高所で風も吹く涼しい牧場で、ちょうど良く乗馬ができました。
ガイドさんは若い女の子で、日本語はできませんが、日本人に慣れている様子でした。
あらかじめ連絡しておいた体重、身長にあわせた馬が準備されていて、まず簡単に馬の操り方の説明があり、すぐに馬に乗って出発です。私は初心者で不安でしたが、経験者の娘は「片手で操れるようになっているのでよく調教されている」と言っていました。歩きはじめて、すぐにその通りだと感じリラックスできました。私の馬はストーミーという名前で、若いのか、いつもガイドさんのすぐ後ろに付きたがり、他の馬を追い越すためにトロット（速足）になったりしましたが、それ以外はとっても良い子でしたよ。
牧場の一定の場所ではギャロップ（駆け足）も可能で、経験者の娘は楽しんでいましたし、写真を撮るために止まってほしいとガイドさんに頼むと、写真を撮ってくれたりと、希望に沿った対応をしてくれました。
とにかく、牧草が風にたなびく広大な牧場一周を、１時間半かけて馬とともに回れ、途中、羊や牛、放し飼いの馬に出会いながら、のんびり癒されました。（お尻や背筋にとっては、１時間半コースでよかったと思います（笑））
本当に気持ちが解放されて、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。

There is something that is really bothering me... どうしても気になることが…

Reviewed by: お馬さん

Riding horses in the great outdoors for about two hours at this price is something you rarely find in Japan, so I think it's a fantastic cost-performance value. There’s a river along the way, and I think it’s unique to splash through it. Although I was satisfied with the riding experience itself, there is one thing that really bothered me. That is the smell of the helmet, which was overwhelmingly bad. It was filled with the odor of sweat and dampness, and it almost made my nose go funny. While not wearing it is a personal choice, I would prefer to wear it for safety reasons. However, I couldn't stand that smell. Those who need to wear it should be prepared for that.

大自然の中をおよそ2時間、このお値段で乗馬することは日本ではなかなかできないので、コストパフォーマンスとしてはすばらしいと思います。途中に川があり、じゃぶじゃぶと突き進んで行くのも珍しいと思います。めったにできない経験でも、乗馬そのものは満足したのですが、どうしても気になることがあります。それはヘルメットがあまりにも臭いことです。汗が醗酵した生乾きの臭いにあふれ、鼻がおかしくなりそうです。かぶらないのは自己責任ですが、安全のためにもかぶりたいものです。でも、あの臭いには耐えられませんでした。必要とされる方はそれなりの覚悟がいります。

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

It was over in the blink of an eye. あっという間でした

Reviewed by: may061

I've been horseback riding many times, but I usually get bored on monotonous courses. However, this time I finished without even looking at the clock. The instructor made me laugh with his broken Japanese from check-in, and he repeatedly gave me tips on how to ride, which was a unique experience. The smell of sweat from the coat and helmet, as well as the mold on the coat, were a bit off-putting, but I highly recommend this course that crosses the river multiple times.

乗馬は何回もしていますが、単調なコースだとあきてしまうんですが今回は時計を見ることも無く終わりました。インストラクターはチェックインから片言の日本語で笑わせてくれたし、途中も何度も乗り方を注意してくれたりで他では無い感じです。コートとヘルメットの汗
臭さとコートのカビは　うーん　でしたが、川を何回もわたるこのコースはお薦めです。

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

Wonderful Experience

Reviewed by: Alice P

My husband and I took our 9 and 8 yr. old grandkids on this tour. It was spectacular! Our guides were wonderful. The valley is so beautiful and seeing it on horseback is awesome. None of us are experienced riders, but we had no problem with the horses. They are very well trained. I highly recommend this tour.

This was a great tour. Our guides had a lot of knowledge and were great guides. They also took the time to help us both when getting on and off of the horses.

The challenge of my 85-year-old grandmother. 85歳　祖母の挑戦

Reviewed by: yuzunaka

I had my grandmother, who has always wanted to ride a horse at least once, experience it. There were about ten people from overseas, and at first, she seemed quite anxious, but it seems her dream came true, which was great. She mentioned that she was a bit sore for a few days after getting off the horse.

一度でいいから馬に乗りたい！という祖母に体験してもらいました。10名程度の海外の方が一緒で最初は不安が強かったようですが夢かない良かったようです。馬を降りてしばらく数日筋肉痛？だったようですが。

ハワイ島　乗馬ツアー　コハラ・コーストの牧場をゆったり乗馬！ ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

It's completely different from last time. 前回とは大違い

Reviewed by: キャンデイ

There were a total of five of us, including myself. The weather was cloudy, and it rained partway through. Last time (about five years ago), the guide was cheerful and prepared photo spots for us. This time, there was no such consideration, and it felt like we just walked around and that was it. I don't know if it was the guide's personality or the company's policy, but I was very disappointed.

　私ども入れて全部で５人で参加でした。天候も曇り空で途中雨も降りました。前回（５年前ぐらい）はガイドさんも明るく写真スポットも用意してくれました。今回は、そのような配慮もなく散歩してお終いでした。ガイドの性か会社の方針かしれませんが、非常にがっかりしました。

Healing. 癒される

Reviewed by: momo

The horseback riding experience in nature is very pleasant and healing. The riding time is over an hour, making it a fulfilling tour that I would recommend. It seems that wearing a helmet during the ride is optional.

自然の中での乗馬体験はとても気持ちよく、癒されます。
乗馬時間も１時間超と充実しており、オススメできるツアーだと思います。
乗馬中のヘルメットはかぶらなくてもOKみたいです。

"Exciting first horseback riding!" 「ドキドキの初乗馬！」

Reviewed by: fumi

In conclusion, I had a great time!
I'm not very good at English. My friend who joined me doesn't speak any English at all...
So I was quite anxious before going.
But when we arrived, we were given a consent form in Japanese!
I read it carefully and signed it. There was a section at the end about wearing a helmet, stating that if you don't wear it, they won't take responsibility in case of an accident, so I marked "yes" for wearing it. However, someone said, "What do you think? Adults usually don't wear it!" So I casually said, "Oh, then No!" and decided not to wear it.
The kids were wearing helmets, but no adults were, although I recommend wearing one if you're worried since it can be bumpy. However, there were no incidents of anyone falling off or almost falling off.

You can't take your belongings while riding, so I think it's best to leave everything except water and a compact camera in the rental car. We thought we could carry our backpacks, but we were told to "leave them!" and ended up placing them on a shelf in the stable.

The riding instructions are in English, but they also use some broken Japanese in between. I felt there was less to worry about than I expected.
While riding, once we started walking, the guide would shout instructions like "fumi! right! left!" if there was any concern. When they were shouting something in Japanese, I thought they were saying something to us and listened closely.

It was my first time riding. At first, my horse was quite restless, which made me anxious, but gradually we connected and were able to enjoy the ride.
It felt longer than I had anticipated.

I was thrilled to see a giant (bigger than a person's face!) bright blue frog climbing a tree!

I had a lot of fun!
However, the next day my butt was sore (laughs).

If I go to the Big Island again, I definitely want to participate again!

結論から言うと、とっても楽しかったです！
自分は英語があまり得意ではありません。一緒に参加した友達は英語全くできず…。
なので行く前はとても不安でいました。
でも行って受付で渡されるのは、日本語の同意書でした！
よく読んでサイン。最後のところにヘルメットについての同意があるのですが、
着用しないともし万が一の時の責任は負いませんよ、的なことが書いておるので、着用するに○をして提出したのですが「どうする？大人はあんまりしないかな！」って言われて、「あ、じゃぁNo！」って言ってあっさり着用しないことにしてしまいました。
お子さんはかぶってましたが、大人は誰もかぶっていませんでしたが、揺れるので心配な方は着用をお勧めします。でも、落馬した人も、しそうだった人もいませんでした。

荷物は持って乗馬できないので、水とコンパクトカメラ以外はレンタカーに置いて行くといいと思います。自分たちはリュックは背負えるだろうと持って行ったのですが、「置いて！」って言われて、馬小屋の棚に置いて行くことになりました。

乗馬の説明も、英語になりますが、合間合間で、片言の日本語を使って教えてくれます。
思ったより心配することはなかったなという印象です。
乗馬し、歩き始めてからも馬が「fumi!みぎ！ひだり！」などと心配な時はガイドさんが大きな声で指示してくれます。日本語で何か叫んでいるときは私たちに何か言ってるなって思って聞いてました。

乗馬も初めて。最初は自分の乗った馬がなかなか冷静になってくれず焦ったのですが、
次第に心を通わせられて(?)楽しく歩くことができました。
思っていたより時間が長く感じられました。

特大の(人の顔よりも大きい！)真っ青な蛙が木を登っていて、それを見れたのが最高にうれしかった！


とても楽しかったです！
ただ、翌日はお尻が筋肉痛です(笑)

次またハワイ島に行ったら、ぜひまた参加したいです！
