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

Rain

Reviewed by: リコリコ

We participated in a 2.5-hour course as a family of three. Riding over a long distance while galloping on a wide ranch was an experience that is unimaginable in Japan. Getting soaked in a downpour at the end was just part of the charm.

広い牧場をギャロップを交えながら長い距離を乗れて日本ではありえない経験です。最後に土砂降りでずぶ濡れになったのもご愛嬌です。

ワイピオ渓谷  乗馬ツアー <午前・午後/英語ガイド> by ワイピオ・オン・ホースバック

I had a great experience. 良い体験ができました。

Reviewed by: ゆうたろ★さぶ

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.

気さくなご夫婦でやられている感じです。
9時集合だから10分前に行ったら誰もいない

ワイピオ渓谷  乗馬ツアー <午前・午後/英語ガイド> by ワイピオ・オン・ホースバック

My best memory. 一番の思い出

Reviewed by: こおろぎ

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.

参加した7歳の娘も甥っ子もおじいさんもみんないっています。
北海道で一度乗馬をしているので、ある程度の流れわかっていたのですが、思っていた以上に乗馬でき大満足のみんなです。日本とは違い、指導の方が歩いて手綱をひいて、、いう乗馬の方法ではなく、指導の方も馬の上からなので、初めは娘がうまく馬の頭を上げられなく涙する場面があったようですが、しばらくすると、うまく進んでいたようです。
説明はもちろん英語だったので、ちんぷんかんぷんだったようですが、、、、
ただ、集合場所がわからなく、30分前に到着しよう思っていたのですが、迷子になり開始時刻に到着。先に到着されていたみなさんに迷惑をかけてしましました。
もっと詳しく集合場所がわかるといいです。
お天気も、、、中止か、、とおもうくらいの雨でしたが決行されました。最後には雨は上がったのですが、、持ち物にお天気によりカッパ必要とあれば持たせていたのに、、と思いました。

私は赤ちゃんと母と別のツアーに参加していましたが、乗馬体験の時間といい感じで組み合わせることができ、お迎えにもきちんいくことができましたよ。

娘は、次も乗馬に参加して走ってみたい、、といっています。

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 fun to be in the river about halfway. 半分ぐらい川の中で楽しかった

Reviewed by: ままくま

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

Horseback riding experience in the fog. 霧の中の乗馬体験

Reviewed by: しんちゃん

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!!

It was well trained. 良く調教されていました

Reviewed by: ハワイ島リピーター

We participated as a couple.
I was worried about the explanations in English, but the horses were well-trained, and I felt safe riding as long as I trusted the horse.
Even if you're not good at English, there's no need to feel anxious about horseback riding.
During the horseback riding course, we couldn't see the ocean, but Waipi'o Valley is a scenic spot with ocean views, so it was great to enjoy it on the way back.
We left Keauhou at 7:00 and arrived at 8:30.
There is only a simple Western-style toilet available.
If you go about 1 km towards the Waipi'o Tour Center, there is a drive-in, so it might be better to use that.

夫婦二人で参加しました。
英語での説明に不安がありましたが、馬が良く調教されていて、馬に任せていれば安心して騎乗できました。
英語が不得意でも乗馬については不安を感じる必要はまったくありませんでした。
乗馬コース中、海は見えませんでしたがワイピオ渓谷自体は海の見える景勝地なので帰りに堪能できて良かったです。
ケアウホウを7時に出発して8時30分に到着しました。
トイレは簡易式の洋式トイレしかありません。
ワイピオツアーセンター方面に1Kmくらい進むとドライブインがあるのでそちらを利用したほうがいいかもしれません。

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

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Jo K

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!!

Disappointed again. 再びがっかり

Reviewed by: さとし

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。

Reply from activity provider

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.

Relaxing in Waipi'o Valley ワイピオ渓谷をのんびりと

Reviewed by: わかさま

The meeting point and ending point are local, and since the guide speaks only English, it's necessary to have a rental car and understand some English. They teach you how to ride the horse slowly and clearly, so as long as you can catch everyday conversation, you should be fine.

The guides for this trip were two local women. Besides the two of us, the party included a couple and their family from the mainland, making a total of nine people, creating a friendly atmosphere.

Along the way, they taught us about various wild fruits (such as mangoes, papayas, noni, avocados, bananas, etc.), we encountered wild horses, and we visited a waterfall that can only be seen by going down into the canyon, making it a satisfying tour.

There was also a tour that went down to the canyon by car, but I recommend horseback riding as it allows you to go deeper by crossing the river and navigating through narrow paths!

This time, I chose this option because I wanted to stroll around the nearby towns of Honokaa and Waimea before and after the tour, but if you simply want to enjoy horseback riding in the canyon, I think it's better to choose a tour with a Japanese guide and transportation included.

現地集合、現地解散、英語のみのガイドなので、レンタカーとある程度の英語が分かることか必要です。馬の乗り方とかはゆっくり分かりやすく教えてくれるので、日常会話が聞き取れれば大丈夫かと。
今回ガイドしてくれたのは現地の女性二人。パーティーのメンバーは我々2人以外に本土から来た夫婦と家族の総勢9人で、和気あいあいとした雰囲気です。
途中自生している果物を色々と(マンゴー、パパイヤ、ノニ、アボガド、バナナなどなど)教えてくれたり、野生の馬に出会ったり、渓谷を下まで降りないと見られない滝を見に行ったりと満足のツアーでした。
車で渓谷の下に下りるツアーもありましたが、馬の方が川を遡ったり、細いところを入っていったりとより奥まで行けるのでオススメです!

今回はツアーの前後で周辺のホノカアやワイメアの町もブラブラしたかったので、こちらを選びましたが、単純に渓谷の乗馬だけを楽しみたい場合は、日本語ガイド、送迎付のツアーを選んだ方がいいと思います。

The consent forms and explanations for riding horses are available in Japanese. A little communication in English is necessary, but if you can make it here on your own, there shouldn't be any problems.

The horses are incredibly well-trained. I was thrilled to be able to ride for longer than I expected.

One thing to be careful about is not to get too caught up in the horses and forget to enjoy the wonderful scenery. The shop at the reception also sells great souvenirs.

We participated as a three-generation group, from ages 9 to 60s.

There were plenty of boots, helmets, and jackets available, and everyone borrowed them.

The explanations were in English, but the instructor spoke very clearly, making it easy to understand, and they spoke slowly enough that I could convey the information to the children as well. They also engaged with us during the ride, and when the horses didn’t listen, the staff at the front and back of the line helped out. As a beginner, I felt safe and had a great time.

It took just under an hour for all participants to get equipped and mount the horses, but after that, we rode for about 1 hour and 40 minutes, going up hills and visiting a cattle pasture. We finished around noon after the morning gathering.

The children seemed to have a lot of fun and are already talking about "next time being 2 and a half hours!"

I recommend it. お勧めです。

Reviewed by: Yuu

We participated with two adults and two children for our first horseback riding experience. We took a four-wheel drive microbus down to the bottom of Waipi'o Valley from the meeting point. The guide provided explanations in English, but it's okay if you can't catch everything. The stunning views of the valley and the movement of the vehicle going down the steep slope felt like a little attraction, which was enjoyable. Upon arrival, the guide explained how to ride the horses in English and some broken Japanese. Although I felt a bit anxious, I could understand somewhat through gestures, and the horses were well-trained, so we could ride without any issues. After that, we rode in a line through the valley, passing taro fields and waterfalls. As we got more comfortable, it felt like we were able to control the horses ourselves, making it a very enjoyable experience. While it might be a bit lacking for experienced riders, our family, who are all beginners, was completely satisfied with the experience.

Additional notes:
- We drove from Kailua-Kona by rental car, which took about 1 hour and 30 minutes. The local office is also in a somewhat difficult-to-find location, so I recommend allowing extra time for travel.
- If you bring a camera, the guide can take photos for you along the way.
- The guide will say "right, left, pull, kick" in Japanese when necessary, so it's fine even for children who don't understand English. (According to them)

乗馬初体験の大人2人、子供2人で参加しました。
集合場所から4駆のマイクロバスのような車に乗ってワイピオ渓谷の下まで降りていきます。ガイドさんが英語で説明をしてくれますが聞き取れなくても問題ありません。渓谷の素晴らしい景色と超急坂降を下る車の動きがちょっとしたアトラクションのようで楽しめます。下に到着するとガイドさんが馬の乗り方について英語と片言の日本語で説明してくれます。ちょっと不安に思いますが身振り手振りでなんとなく理解できることと、馬が十分に調教されているので問題なく乗ることが出来ます。その後一列になってタロイモ畑や滝を見ながら渓谷の中を巡ります。慣れてくると自分で馬をコントロール出来ているような気がしてとても楽しく過ごせます。乗馬経験者には少し物足りないかもしれませんが、未経験の私たち家族は全員大満足の体験でした。

その他
・カイルア-コナからレンタカーで移動しましたが1時間30分かかりました。現地事務所も
 わかりにくい場所にあるので時間に余裕を持て移動することをお勧めします。
・カメラを持参すると途中でガイドさんに写真を撮ってもらえます。
・ガイドさんが「右、左、引く、蹴る」と日本語で必要時言ってくれるので英語が解らない

There was a pleasant breeze, the scenery was beautiful, and the riding time was just right—it was a very satisfying experience.

For those who wish to, they can also try galloping during the horseback riding. Beginners can stick to a walk, so they accommodate everyone according to their skill level. It was a very good experience.

牧場まではレンタカーで向かいましたが、道のりはそんなに難しくなかったです。むしろ途中の車窓に目を奪われる程の素晴らしい景色でした。乗馬は途中で希望する人には駆け足もやらせてもらえます。初心者は常歩のままでも大丈夫ですので、レベルに応じてうまいことやってくれます。とても良い体験でした。

I spent a relaxing time with my friends on the Big Island of Hawaii. Horseback riding in Waipi'o Valley was exciting. The horses were very smart and well-trained. The dogs that followed us like guides were incredibly cute and the best part. The guides were also very kind and fun people. It became a wonderful memory. I want to visit again next time.

友人たちとハワイ島でゆっくり過ごしました。ワイピオ渓谷での乗馬はわくわくでした。お馬さんたちがとても賢くて躾が行き届いていました。案内のように付いてくるワンちゃんたちがとっても可愛くて最高でした。ガイドさんたちもとても親切で楽しい方々でした。素敵な思い出になりました。今度もまた会いに行きたいと思います。

I participated with my daughter (49) and grandson (16). It was all of our first horseback riding experience, but the pre-ride lecture was precise, and the horses were well-trained, so we enjoyed it without any worries. I highly recommend this. I previously participated in a carriage ride, but this was a completely different experience as we progressed along the stream.

私(77歳)娘(49)と孫(16)の3人で参加しました。3人とも初めての乗馬経験でしたが、乗馬前のレクチャーも的確で馬も良くなれており全く心配なく大いに楽しめました。これはおすすめです。以前ⓑ荷馬車で参加しましたが、沢に沿って進み等全く違う経験でした。

Guided Waipio Valley Horseback Riding & Waterfall Tour [Closed]

Our favorite vacation day!

Reviewed by: A. Durnell

This was truly a magical day in Hawaii. Waipio Valley is one of those places best seen through the eyes of someone local. This is not merely a tour, but more of an invitation to visit the valley as a guest and get the grand tour from people who truly love it and want you to as well. The horses are happy, healthy, well cared for individuals with personalities and this trail ride is not the dull, narrated nose to tail variety often found in tourist areas. You won't have a "canned" speech and your horses won't be falling asleep from having done a monotonous walk they have done a million times with no hope of change. We left feeling like we really learned a lot from our hosts, who live in the valley, love and know it well, while having seen some of the most spectacular scenery on the island. The snapshot of the view from the lookout point is certainly gorgeous, but go the extra mile and take a ride into the valley to see the taro, the waterfalls, the wild horses, the freshwater streams and amazing landscape. You won't be disappointed!

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

My first horseback riding experience. 初めての乗馬体験。

Reviewed by: depot

I participated because I wanted to see the Hiilawe Falls in Waipi'o Valley. Those who do hula will understand, but two waterfalls merge into one river and flow out to the sea. It was a beautiful sight.

It was my first time riding a horse, but the horses are well-trained, so there were no issues. I was nervous at first since it was my first experience. The instructions before riding are only in English, but there is a description in Japanese in front of the stable. The application form was in Japanese.

We rode for about two and a half hours through the valley, seeing taro fields, rivers, and waterfalls. The scenery was very pleasant. I would definitely like to participate again.

We are not very good at English, so we asked the hotel concierge to confirm our reservation. It can be confusing to navigate to the site by rental car.

After reaching the Waipi'o Lookout, if you return along the left side of the road, you will arrive at the shop.

Everyone gathers early, so it's best to arrive at least 30 minutes beforehand. The shop also had snacks and souvenirs.

ワイピオ渓谷でヒイラべェの滝が見たくて参加しました。フラをしている方なら分かると思いますが二つの滝が一つの川となり海へ流れ出る。メレの通りでした。
乗馬は初めてのでしたが、しっかりと調教されているので問題はありません。私は初めてだったので、慣れるまでは緊張しました。馬に乗る前の説明は英語のみですが、馬小屋の前に日本語で説明が書いてあります。参加申込書は日本語でした。
約2時間半 馬に乗って渓谷の中を回りました タロ畑・川・滝 とても気持ちのいい景色でした。また是非、参加したいです。
私たちは、英語が得意ではありませリコンファームはホテルのコンシェルジュにおねがいしました。レンタカーで現地までは、ナビでは迷います。
ワイピオルックアウトまで行き、来た道の下側 左側を道沿いに戻るとショップに着きます。
皆さん集合が早いので、30分前には到着していた方がいいです。ショップには、スナックやお土産もありました。

I'm glad I went horseback riding on the Big Island! ハワイ島で乗馬してよかった!

Reviewed by: イノウエ

During my trip between Oahu and the Big Island, I was torn between horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch or Waipi'o Valley, but to cut to the chase, I made the right choice by going horseback riding here.

The first half of the experience, taking a 4WD bus down to the valley where the horses are, was incredibly enjoyable. Although I'm not great at English, the instructors seemed accustomed to Japanese speakers and taught us how to ride in a way that was easy to understand, even without grasping the language.

The horseback riding course allowed us to fully enjoy the magnificent nature unique to the Big Island. We crossed streams multiple times, and it was adorable to see the horse I was riding stop to drink water or nibble on grass along the way. If you pull on the reins, the horse will start walking, and I felt safe riding a well-trained horse. At the scenic spots, the staff kindly took photos of us while we were on horseback.

オアフ島とハワイ島のはしご旅で、クアロア牧場かワイピオ渓谷どちらで乗馬か迷っていましたが、結論から言うとこっちで乗馬して大正解でした。
前半の4wdバスで馬のいる渓谷の下まで降りるだけでもとてもとても楽しめます。
英語は苦手ですが、インストラクターの方もそう言う日本人に慣れているようで大事な乗馬の仕方は英語が理解できなくても分かるように教えてくれます。
乗馬コースはハワイ島ならではの大自然が満喫でき、小川も何度も渡りますが乗せてくれてる馬が水を飲んだり、脇道の草を食べ始めたりと可愛らしいものです。しっかり手綱を引っ張れば歩き始めますし、よく躾が行き届いた馬で安心して乗れました。絶景スポットでは馬に乗りながら写真撮影もしてくれてスタッフの方はとても親切でした。

Reviewed by: のんちゃん

There were six people in our group: four Japanese and two Westerners. The explanations were all in English, but there were also Japanese signs about horseback riding, so I was able to confirm any parts I didn't understand and get started.
The horses varied greatly; some were well-trained while others seemed less so (I think it depends on how they are handled).
I believe that those with even a little bit of horseback riding experience will enjoy both the scenery and the riding more than complete beginners.
Both instructors were kind, and I was happy to give them tips.

日本人4人、西洋人2人の6人のグループでした。すべて英語での説明でしたが、乗馬については日本語の掲示もありましたので、よくわからなかった部分はそれで確認できてスタートできました。
馬は個体差が大きく、よくトレーニングされているものとそうでなさそうなもの(ハンドリングの仕方だとは思いますが)もいました。
全くの初心者よりは、少しでも乗馬の心得のある方が景色も乗馬もどちらも楽しめると思いました。
インストラクターの2人はどちらも親切で、気持ちよくチップを渡すことができました。

I chose the course at Cahuilla Ranch because I wanted to ride freely in a spacious area, and it was a great decision. Perhaps because it was the off-season, we unexpectedly had a private tour with just the instructor and my husband and me. Under the guidance of a beautiful and slender instructor, we strolled through the vast ranch, controlling the horse ourselves instead of being led. Everything was in English, but she explained everything very slowly and carefully, and she repeated important points multiple times, so I had no worries at all. The horses are very well-trained, almost smarter than humans. The attending instructor ensures customer safety while allowing us to ride quite freely according to our wishes and skill levels, so if you have some riding experience, you can have the best experience in this vast ranch with its elevation changes. There is no pick-up service, but it's easy to find if you go by rental car, as it's not a confusing location and there are signs. The prices are reasonable, and I highly recommend it as an optional tour.

広い場所で、自由に乗馬したかったので、こちらのカフア牧場のコースを選択しましたが大正解でした。オフシーズンのためか、期せずしてインストラクターと私達夫婦というプライベートツアーに。美人でスレンダーなインストラクターの指導のもと、引き馬ではなく、自分で馬をコントロールしながら広大な牧場をお散歩。全て英語ですが、とてもゆっくり、丁寧に説明してくれるし、重要なことは同じことを何度も言ってくれるので全く不安はありませんでした。馬はとてもよく調教されており、人間より賢いくらい。アテンドするインストラクターは顧客の安全に万全を期してくれる一方、こちらの希望やレベルに合わせかなり自由に乗らせてくれるので、少し乗馬経験のある方なら広大で高低差のある牧場で、最高の経験ができます。送迎はありませんが、レンタカーで行けば迷う場所ではなく、看板もありわかりやすいです。料金も安く、オプショナルツアーとして最高にお勧めできます。

I think this is my fifth time participating in this tour. Even those without horseback riding experience can join without any issues. You simply proceed slowly in a line through the valley, so you can participate with peace of mind. If possible, I recommend the morning tour as it allows for more time.

Wild Mustangs come close to the herd along the way. It's interesting to see how horses have their likes and dislikes. I believe first-timers will have a very satisfying experience.

While Waipi'o Valley can be viewed from above, you can get a better sense of it by going down. Recently, Japanese documents have also been prepared, so even though the guide doesn't understand Japanese, it’s not a particular problem.

このツアーへの参加は5回目になると思います。乗馬経験のない人でもまず問題なく参加できます。ゆっくりと渓谷の中を一列に進んでいくだけですので、安心して参加できます。できれば午前中のツアーの方が時間の余裕がありますので、おすすめです。
途中野生の馬ムスタングが群れに近づいてきます。馬同士も好き嫌いがあって面白いです。
初めての方には大満足の経験ができると思います。
ワイピオ渓谷は上からも見れますが、下に降りてみると様子がよくわかります。最近では日本語の書類も用意されていますので、ガイドは日本語はわかりませんが、特に問題はありません。
