It was my first experience riding a horse, but I got used to it in about 30 minutes. The guide was flexible and provided support throughout the ride. Since we walked along narrow paths in the valley, the horse stopped to drink water and eat grass along the way, and we even passed by cars, which helped me improve my reins handling. They also took some great photos.
The meeting point was quite far and hard to find. I was a bit nervous during the journey, but somehow I understood the pickup fee.
乗馬初体験でしたが30分ほどで慣れてきました。
ガイドの方が前後について、臨機応変にサポートしてくれました。渓谷の細い道を歩くので途中で馬が水を飲んだり草を食べたり、途中で車とすれ違うことも、おかげで手綱さばきも上手くなりました。いい写真も撮ってくれました。
集合場所は遠くわかりづらいですね
道中ハラハラドキドキ、ピックアップの料金になぜか納得しました?

It takes a long time to get on the horse. We went down the valley in a four-wheel drive vehicle, and it was quite an old car! The engine warning light was on, which was a bit scary.
The horses are well-trained, so it's safe. Even beginners will be fine.
Also, you can't go to the bathroom for about three hours. Just a heads up. Plus, the bathroom you can use before that is really dirty!
馬に乗るまでが長い。渓谷を四駆で下っていきます。しかも結構年季の入った車!エンジンの警告灯がついていたし、ちょっと怖かったです。
馬は調教されていて安心です。初心者でも大丈夫です。
それから3時間くらいトイレに行けません。注意です。しかも、その前に行けるトイレめっちゃ汚い!

The guys were awesome. Made it fun. The horses were strong and healthy. The scenery was breathtaking, green and lush. We would have liked to ride the horses through the waterfalls, same price, but this was good too. There were wild horses and donkey that let you pet them. Overall our experiences was great.

I actually wanted to go horseback riding in Waipi'o Valley, but I couldn't make a reservation, so I gave up. I was able to make a reservation for horseback riding at the ranch, so I participated here instead. They didn't speak any Japanese at all, but they explained things in simple English with smiles, so I hardly had any trouble. They provide Western boots, socks, parkas, jackets, and bags, so you can go hands-free without any issues. I left my valuables with them, but I took a drink, camera, and phone in my bag. Sneakers would be fine, but I think it's better to borrow boots. I had my own socks, so I wore those. Did we ride for about 1.5 hours? We galloped and trotted around the vast ranch grounds. Since my husband was almost a beginner, I thought we would just walk, but he looked at the situation and asked if we wanted to try running, and we did a few times. The horses do gauge people to some extent, but they are calm and listen well, so I wasn't particularly worried. They smiled and said, "Come back again next year!" Thank you very much! I want to come again!
本当はワイピオ渓谷での乗馬をしたかったけど、予約が取れず断念。
牧場での乗馬の予約が取れたのでこちらに参加しました。

In the early morning, there was heavy rain, and I thought we might be riding in the rain, but fortunately, the weather cleared up. We drove down to the valley, but the road was steep and narrow. Arriving there was a bit nerve-wracking, but we made it. We also got to see the waterfall that I wanted to see along the way. The horseback riding tour began, and our two cute dogs joined us as well. We crossed a river along the way, which was very refreshing. However, the horse had to pee, poop, and eat grass at various points. At the end, the guide took some photos for us.

We signed up for the 2.5-hour course for four family members. We gathered at 8:30 and arrived at the meeting point on time, but since the group for the 1.5-hour course, which was scheduled for 9:30, arrived before 9:00, we ended up starting with them and had to wait for nearly an hour after we were ready... During that time, there was no explanation given.
After being taught how to handle the horses, we set off. We all climbed up the highlands together. The weather was nice, and the views were great. We walked briskly several times, and about an hour passed.
As mentioned in other people's posts, we were wondering if we would also be on the 1.5-hour course, but along the way, we were told, "They go Long Course," and we took a different route. The other group descended and went back.
We continued to climb higher into the highlands and experienced a canter for the first time. It was for a short time, but it was an incredible speed and vibration, and I clung on desperately to avoid falling off the horse, making it a valuable experience.
After that, we arrived at a scenic viewpoint. We took photos with Maui Island in the background, with mountains and the sea, before descending. The actual riding time was about 2 hours and 15 minutes.
I think it would be less confusing if the 1.5-hour course was labeled as the "Standard Course" and the 2.5-hour course as the "Long Course." The horseback riding itself was five stars due to the perfect weather and location, but the local staff's response was somewhat lacking, so I give it four stars.
2.5時間コースに家族4人で申し込みました。
8時半集合で時間通りに集合場所に行きましたが、9時半集合の1.5時間コースのグループが9時前に到着したために、結局その人達と一緒にスタートすることになり、準備が出来てから1時間近く待たされることに…
その間なんの説明もありませんでした。
馬の扱い方を教えてもらって出発。皆で高原をどんどん登って行きます。
天気も良く、見晴らしも良好。途中何度か速歩をしながら1時間ほどがすぎました。
他の人の投稿にもあるように、自分たちも1.5時間コースになるのかなぁと思っていましたが、途中で「They go Long Course」と言われ自分たちは別のルートへ。他のグループは下山し帰っていきました。
更に高原を登って行き、途中で初めての駈歩を体験。少しの時間でしたが、すごい速さと振動に馬から落ちないよう必死にしがみつきましたが貴重な体験となりました。
その後絶景ポイントに到着。マウイ島が見晴らせる場所で山と海をバックに写真撮影をし下山となりました。
正味の乗馬時間は2時間15分程。
1.5時間コースは「標準コース」2.5時間コースは「ロングコース」とした方が誤解がないのではと思います。
乗馬自体は最高の天気、ロケーションで星5つですが、現地の人の対応がいまいちなので星4つです。

I participated with friends in November. I was looking for a tour with transportation included, but I was told that the transportation companies were fully booked, so I decided to take the plunge and join this tour without transportation, renting a car for the first time abroad. It was a good decision in terms of cost performance.
This was my second time riding a horse, but that didn't matter; we set off after a brief introduction. The height was quite significant, but we walked slowly through the woods, so it wasn't scary. We also splashed through the water, which added some variety and made it fun.
My horse was a bit of a glutton and stopped to eat grass along the way, but it was all very relaxed. The dogs that walked alongside us were also very cute.
Oh, Japanese is not spoken here. They knew a few words and occasionally said something, but it wasn't a problem for horseback riding.
11月に友人同士で参加しました。
送迎付のツアーを探していたのですが、送迎会社がいっぱいだと言われ、思い切って海外初レンタカーで、送迎なしのこのツアーに参加しました。コストパフォーマンスとしても正解でした。
馬に乗るのは2回目でしたが、そんなことおかまいなしに、ちょっとのレクで出発します。結構高さがありますが、木立をゆっくり歩いていくのでこわくはなく、でも水の中をじゃぶじゃぶ入ったりして、変化もあって楽しかったです。
私の馬は食いしん坊で、道中草を食べて動かなくなったりしましたが、それものんびりと。一緒に散歩する犬たちもとてもかわいかったです。

Compared to other tours, the waiting time before starting was long, and the time spent riding the horse was short. We followed almost the same course, but other tours were already turning back and passing us. We were on the horse for about 40 to 50 minutes. I expected it to be 1.5 to 2 hours. The route felt more like the horse was just walking along a car track rather than going through the great outdoors. The guide spoke in English, but since there was a long line of horses, only those near the speaker could hear. I would recommend a tour that allows you to walk down into the canyon instead. Alternatively, if you're looking for a similar tour, I would recommend the Na'alapa tour.
ほかのツアーと比べて開始までの時間が長く馬に乗る時間が短い。ほぼ同じコースを通るのですが他のツアーは、すでに折り返しで我々とすれ違う状況。馬に乗っていたのは40~50分くらいでしょうか。1.5~2時間と思っていましたが。ルートも大自然の中を行くというより車のわだちを馬が勝手に歩くという感じです。案内も英語さらに長い馬の隊列なので話す人の近くの人しか聞こえません。私は、渓谷に下りて足で歩く時間をとるツアーのほうをお勧めします。または、同じようなツアーならばナアラパのツアーをお勧めします。

It feels like a friendly couple runs this place. Since we were supposed to gather at 9, I arrived 10 minutes early, but no one was there. The couple showed up right on time. We departed at 9:30, and they told us to eat bananas and macadamia nuts while we waited. I was worried about being able to ride the horse, but it seemed well-trained, so I had nothing to worry about. I had a very enjoyable time. I had previously looked at the scenery from above the valley, but this was a valuable experience that you can only appreciate by going down.
Oh, the restroom is extremely dirty. It stinks! So, I strongly recommend taking care of that before arriving at the meeting point. There is a public restroom at the Waipi'o Valley lookout, so it's a good idea to use that. It's not clean either, but it's much better than here.
Also, after the horseback riding, the couple leaves the customers behind to go for lunch. That was refreshing in a way.

My 7-year-old daughter, my nephew, and my grandfather all participated. Since my daughter had ridden horses once in Hokkaido, she had some understanding of the process, but everyone was very satisfied as they were able to ride more than they expected. Unlike in Japan, where the instructor walks alongside holding the reins, here the instructor was also on horseback. At first, my daughter had some tears because she couldn't lift the horse's head well, but after a while, she seemed to be doing well.
The explanations were, of course, in English, so it seemed quite confusing for them. However, we had trouble finding the meeting point. We intended to arrive 30 minutes early, but we got lost and arrived right at the starting time, which caused inconvenience to those who had arrived earlier. It would be helpful to have more detailed information about the meeting point.
The weather was quite rainy, to the point where we thought it might be canceled, but the event went ahead. It stopped raining by the end, but I wished I had reminded everyone to bring raincoats based on the weather.
I participated in a different tour with my baby and mother, but the timing of the horseback riding experience worked out well, and I was able to pick them up properly.
My daughter said she wants to participate in horseback riding again and try running next time.

This was my second time riding in Waipi'o. This time, I tried going into the valley, and it was fun to go right into the river. Last time, it was a private tour with just the guide, my husband, and me, and the guide spoke slowly in both English and Japanese, so I understood well. This time, there were about ten people, and only one group of Japanese (two people), so I couldn't catch everything, but it was still enjoyable. The scenery was more impressive on the mountain climbing tour I took in 2014. However, this experience allows you to ride a horse casually, not worrying about getting wet, and going deep into the water, which is something you wouldn't imagine in Japan, all at a reasonable price. I highly recommend it.
ワイピオの乗馬は2回目でした。今回、渓谷へのTryでしたが、川にガンガン入って楽しかったです。前回は、ガイドさんと主人と私の3人でプライベートツアーみたいで、ガイドさんもゆっくり英語&日本語でしゃべってくれたので、よく理解できました。今回は、10人ほどで日本人は1組(2人)でしたので、まったく、聞き取れなかったのにも関わらず、楽しかったです。景色は、2014年に行った山を登るツアーのほうが、感動できでしたね。でも、気軽に馬に乗れる、濡れることを気にしないでガンガン深くても行く、日本では考えられない体験を気軽にリーズナブルな価格で楽しませてくれます。非常におすすめです

After a one-and-a-half-hour drive from Kona, we arrived at the Kafa Ranch right at 8:30. Since I was only wearing a T-shirt, I decided to borrow a jacket and a helmet. After a brief lecture (it was in English, but even someone like me who can't speak it could understand somewhat. They taught us how to start, stop, and steer the horse.) they helped us choose a horse based on our body type. My horse was a sturdy gray named "Smoky," which was just right to support my 80 kg.
We set off in a line. The ranch itself is located in a high area, and we continued to ascend through the grasslands. Along the way, we encountered a thick fog. Borrowing the jacket was definitely the right choice. My glasses fogged up with water droplets. It was quite cold, but when the fog cleared, we were enveloped in refreshing air. After almost two and a half hours without taking a break, we were on the horses the whole time. The scale of this horseback riding experience was completely different from what I've experienced in Japan.
I absolutely recommend this activity!!
コナから車で1時間半、8時半ぴったりにカファ牧場に到着しました。
Tシャツしか着ていなかったので、上着とヘルメットを借りることにしました。簡単なレクチャー(英語でしたが、話せない私でもなんとなくわかります。動き出しや止め方、横に行かせる仕方などを教えてくれます。)を受けた後、体つきを見て、馬を決めてくれます。私の馬は、唯一の葦毛でどっしりとした「スモーキー」です。80キロの私を支えるにはちょうどいいかな。
列を組んで出発。牧場じたいがかなり高い地域にあり、そこからさらに草原を登っていきます。途中から、一面の霧。上着を借りていて大正解でした。メガネも水滴で曇るほどでした。かなり寒い思いもしましたが、霧が晴れるとさわやかな空気に包まれます。出発から2時間半弱、休憩も取らず、馬に乗りっぱなしです。日本の乗馬体験とは、とにかくスケールが違いました。
絶対におすすめのアクティビティです!!

This experience is certainly off the beaten pack and is an amazing way to explore the nearly inaccessible Waipio Valley.
We met at the meeting point and we were driven down into the valley down one of the gnarliest roads I've ever been on in a 4x4 to the stables.
We were introduced to our horses and led on a serene trek through the valley. We went through rivers and around small holdings that are dotted around the valley. We marvelled, from a distance, at incredible waterfalls as we trekked through paths with fields on one side and jungle on the other. It was awesome.
Our guide was great and it's something we'll both always remember. We're not riders but we're extremely well looked after.
It was great. Thank you!!

Four years ago, I participated in the same 2.5-hour course. At that time, I expressed my hope for improvement due to the significantly reduced riding time. Believing that improvements had been made, I joined this time, and we departed around 9:15 and had riding time until just after 10:40. I think it's quite terrible to pay for a 2.5-hour course and receive a tour that doesn't even meet the 1.5-hour duration. The gate to the tour meeting place was also chained, and I was told to open it myself.
4年前にも同じ2.5時間コースに参加しました。その際にも大幅に乗馬時間が短縮されたことに改善希望を感想としてお伝えしました。改善されたことを信じて参加した今回は、9時15分頃から出発して10時40分過ぎまでの乗馬時間でした。2.5時間コースの料金を払い、1.5時間コースに満たないツアーとは、あまりにひどいと思います。ツアー集合場所へのゲートもチェーンがしてあり、自分で開けるようにと言われる始末。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
However, we sincerely apologize that the tour did not proceed as scheduled.
We confirmed the details of the tour with the operating company. Due to inclement weather on the day of the tour, the 2.5-hour plan could not be completed for the safety of our customers.
We understand that it must have been disappointing to have the tour content shortened, especially since you were looking forward to it. We also deeply apologize for the lack of proper explanation from the operating company. As mentioned in a separate email, we were unable to provide the tour content you signed up for, so we have processed a partial refund of the tour fee for you to confirm. Additionally, please be aware that the gate at the meeting point is always kept closed with a chain to prevent livestock from getting out.
We take your feedback seriously and will strive to improve our services in the future.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.
