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

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 guide was very kind and made an effort to speak to us in broken Japanese, even though my English is basic. The atmosphere was fantastic, and my daughter, who was a bit nervous at first, seemed to relax and even started petting her horse later on. Crossing the river was a lot of fun, and our family is already talking about coming back here on our next trip to Hawaii Island. I'm really glad we participated—highly recommended!

基本英語ですが一生懸命カタコトの日本語で話しかけてくれたり、とても親切なガイドさんでした。

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.

同意書や馬に乗る説明は日本語化されています。
少しの英語でのコミニュケーションは必要ですが、この地まで自力で来られる人ならば問題ないでしょう。

Everyone was very satisfied. 全員大満足でした

Reviewed by: みどり

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!"

9歳から60代まで三世代で参加しました。

ブーツやヘルメット、上着はたくさん用意されており、全員お借りしました。

英語での説明ですが、とてもはっきり話してくれるのでよくわかりましたし、ゆっくりなので同時に子供達にも伝えることができました。
途中もいろいろと話しかけてくれて、馬が言うことをきかないときは列の前後にいるスタッフが手助けしてくれます。
初心者でしたが安心して楽しめました。

参加者全員の装備から馬に乗るまでに1時間弱かかりましたが、それから丘を上ったり牛の放牧場にお邪魔したり、牧場内をぐるりと1時間40分くらい乗馬。
朝の集合で終わったのは正午でした。

子供達もとても楽しかったようで「次は2時間半！」と話しています。

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

All four of us in the family experienced horseback riding for the first time. We didn't fully understand English, but everyone had an amazing time! The horses were well-trained, and my 12-year-old daughter said she "wasn't scared at all." We crossed the river several times, which was fun. There was a pleasant breeze, the scenery was beautiful, and the riding time was just right—it was a very satisfying experience. Helmets are available to borrow, and you can also rent bags to keep your wallet and camera in. The weather was nice, so short sleeves were perfect. There were no bugs. I highly recommend it!

家族4人とも、乗馬初体験。英語も完璧には理解できていない。 ・・・けれども皆、最高に楽しめました！ 馬がよく調教されているので、12歳の娘も「怖くなかった」と言っていました。何度か川を越えたのですが、それが面白かったです。心地よい風も吹いていて、景色も素晴らしく、乗馬時間もちょうどよく、大満足の体験でした。ヘルメットは借りることができます。お財布やカメラを入れておけるバッグも借りれます。お天気が良かったので半袖でちょうど良かったです。虫はいませんでした。 とにかくオススメです！

I drove to the ranch by rental car, and the route wasn't difficult at all. In fact, the scenery along the way was so stunning that it captivated my attention. 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。

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!

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。

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。

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。

Reviewed by: ねこ子

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。

First horseback riding experience 初めての乗馬体験

Reviewed by: Misae

I wanted to go down to Waipi'o Valley and was looking for a tour. I was a bit anxious since I had never been horseback riding before, but I decided to sign up for the tour thinking there might be other Japanese participants. A tall woman came to pick me up at the meeting point as the guide, and after checking in, we headed to the stables in a large vehicle with a 4x4 and horses painted on it. However, she told me that she didn't understand Japanese. I felt uneasy but she reassured me that she could say "danger!" so I should listen carefully. The horseback riding instructions were given in English and gestures, and there were Japanese warning signs and simple explanations posted. Even if you don't understand English, the horses are well-trained, so it's manageable, but if you want to understand the guide's explanations along the way, I think an intermediate level of English is necessary. The horses lined up on their own and walked easily, and the reins only required simple movements. We progressed through the river, crossed it, and even strayed off the path to eat grass, but the smart horses quickly returned to the line. We were able to slowly enjoy the taro fields and waterfalls at the bottom of the valley, and the hour and a half passed in no time. If it's a morning tour, you can head out in the afternoon, which is enjoyable. We were blessed with good weather, and I'm glad I participated. I didn't have time to take photos, but the guide took some for us along the way. I would love to participate again!

ワイピオ渓谷の下まで行ってみたくて、ツアーを探していました。乗馬もしたことがなかったので不安でしたが、日本人で参加している方がいるのならと思いツアーを申し込みました。背の高い女性がガイドで集合場所まで迎えに来てくれて、チェックイン後に4×4と馬が描かれた大きな車で厩舎まで向かいましたが、そのときに日本語は分からないからと言われました。不安になりましたが「あぶない！」だけは言えるから、よく聞いてねと。乗馬の説明は英語とジェスチャーで、日本語の注意書きや簡単な説明文は貼り出されていました。英語が分からなくても馬がよく調教されているので大丈夫ですが、ガイドさんの途中での説明も聞き取りたいのであれば中級以上の英語力が必要かとおもいます。馬は一列に勝手に並んでくれて、歩いてくれますし手綱も簡単な動きだけでした。川の中をどんどん進んだり、川を渡ったり、草を食べに道から外れたこともありましたが、すぐに列に戻ってくれる賢い馬たちでした。渓谷の下のタロイモの畑や滝もゆっくり観られて、1時間半はあっというまに過ぎました。午前のツアーであれば、午後から出かけられるので楽しめますね。天気にも恵まれ、参加してよかったです。写真を写す余裕がなかったのですが、途中でガイドさんが写してくれました。また、参加したいです！

A horseback riding experience enjoying the stunning views of the sea and mountains on a rolling ranch. 起伏に富んだ牧場で、海と山の絶景を楽しみながらの乗馬体験

Reviewed by: ういうい

The meeting place was not marked by a large sign like you would find at tourist attractions, but rather a regular ranch building, which made it a bit difficult to find. However, we managed to arrive by relying on the car navigation system. After reading a very simple horseback riding guide written in Japanese, we put on our helmets and immediately mounted the horses to set off. That day, it was just the two of us and a female guide. The horses were well-trained and walked slowly along a predetermined course without us having to do much, so I didn't feel any danger at all. We enjoyed over an hour of horseback riding in a vast hilly ranch surrounded by stunning views of the sea and mountains. Along the way, we also encountered herds of cows and sheep. This is an experience that you definitely can't have in Japan, and I highly recommend it.

集合場所は、観光名所に見かける大きな案内の看板がある訳ではなく普通の牧場の建物なので、少々わかりにくいところもありましたが、カーナビを頼りにどうにか到着。日本語で書かれたごく簡単な乗馬ガイドを一読した後に、ヘルメットをかぶりすぐ馬に跨って出発。この日は我々二人と女性ガイドの3人だけでした。馬はよく訓練されていて、こちらが特に何かやらなくてもあらかじめ決められたコースをゆっくりと歩いて進んでいく感じで特に危険は感じませんでした。海と山の絶景に囲まれた広大な丘陵地の牧場をのんびりと一時間以上の乗馬。途中で牛や羊の群れとも出くわします。日本では絶対にできそうもない体験でとてもお勧めです。

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

I had a great time. 楽しめました

Reviewed by: 胆石おやじ

Both of us were a bit anxious since it was our first time riding horses, but we had a lot of fun. The horse was quite stubborn, but that added to its charm. We rode up a small stream, and the hour and a half went by in no time. They lend you a bag to keep your valuables in while in the saddle, so we were able to put our camera and water bottles in it.

二人とも初乗馬で不安でしたが、結構楽しめました。
なかなか言うことの聞かない馬でしたが、それも愛嬌でした。
小川を上って行ったりして、１時間半ほどがアッと言う間でした。
鞍に掛ける貴重品入れの袋を貸してくれますので、カメラやペットボトルも
それに入れることができました。

Horseback riding in Waipi'o Valley. ワイピオ渓谷で乗馬

Reviewed by: いえろー

This is an all-English tour. You don't need to have strong English skills, but it might be tough if you can't understand at least a little.

For those who are not confident in their English, a Japanese tour has recently been established, which might be better even though it's more expensive. (It seems that only local guides were allowed to conduct tours until recently, but now Japanese guides have finally been permitted.)

The tour includes a full two hours of horseback riding. You'll be riding the whole time, which can be quite tiring.

The horses are well-trained, so even someone like me with almost no riding experience felt safe.

You'll ride around the Waipi'o Valley, and it was really fun to splash through the river.

I've also ridden in Oahu, but I definitely recommend this one!!

However, there are quite a few small flies, so it might be tough for those who are not good with insects.

すべて英語のツアーです。
英語力はそれほど必要ありませんが、ある程度は理解できないときついと思います。

英語に自信のない方は日本人のツアーが最近できたので、高いですがそちらの方が良いかも。
(ずーっと現地の人しかガイドができなかったらしいのですが、やっと日本人がガイドをやることを許されたらしいです。)

ツアーは2時間たっぷり乗馬します。
ずーっと乗りっぱなしです。結構疲れます。

馬はきちんと調教されている子達なので、乗馬経験がほぼない私でも安心して乗れました。

ワイピオ渓谷の中をぐるぐると乗馬して回ります。
川の中をじゃぶじゃぶと進んでいくのがとても楽しかったです。

オアフでも乗馬したことあるのですが、断然こちらがおすすめです！！

ただ、コバエのような虫が結構いるので虫が苦手な方はきついかも。。

Abundant greenery in nature 緑たっぷりの自然

Reviewed by: 344

I had a wonderful horseback riding experience in a stunning landscape that even beginners can enjoy! The drive to the stable in the van was thrilling as we went down a steep slope. The experience of crossing the river with the car and the horse was unique and very satisfying. My horse was a bit of a troublemaker, but it made the experience even more fun. It would be even better if they took care of the smell of the rental helmets (I was prepared for it, but it was still unpleasant). Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and both my husband and I are very satisfied!

素晴らしい景色の中、初心者でも楽しめる乗馬体験が出来ました！
バンで馬小屋まで向かうドライブが、これでもか！というぐらいの坂を下り、ハラハラドキドキでした 笑
川を車や馬でジャバジャバ渡る体験は、今までなく、とても満足できました。
私の馬は、少しジャジャ馬君でしたが、かえって楽しかったです。
レンタルのヘルメットの匂いケアをしてくれれば、尚良し。（覚悟していったがやはり臭い）
総じて、素晴らしい体験ができ、夫婦共々、大満足です！

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

You can experience an adventurous feeling. アドベンチャー気分を味わえます

Reviewed by: こにー

You descend to the bottom of a deep canyon and ride through the jungle on horseback. Driving down the narrow, winding, steep road feels like being on a theme park ride, but you can enjoy the beautiful canyon and black sand beach from the car window.

The horseback ride allowed us to cross rivers several times, adding to the adventurous experience. It was my first time riding a horse, but the English instructions were not difficult to understand, and the trained horses naturally formed a line and followed along. There was a guide at the front and back of the line, keeping an eye on things and ready to assist if needed, which made it easy to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

深い渓谷の底まで降りて行き、ジャングルの中を馬で進んでいきます。
車で狭く曲がりくねった急な道を降りていくのは、遊園地のアトラクションに乗り続けているかのようですが、車窓からは美しい渓谷と黒砂海岸を楽しめます。
馬上の散策は、途中、何度か川を越えたり、アドベンチャー気分を味わうことができました。
馬に乗るのは初めてでしたが、説明の英語は難しくないですし、訓練された馬なので勝手に列を形成して付いて行ってくれる感じでした。
ガイドも列の前後に一名ずついて、様子を見て何かあればサポートしてくれるので、安心して楽しめました。

A valuable experience on horseback along the river. 川を行く馬上での貴重な体験

Reviewed by: マサコ

As everyone has mentioned, we drove down a very steep slope in a 4WD vehicle to the valley bottom. Then, we finally got to ride the horses. The explanations were all in English, which made me a bit worried (or rather, I couldn't understand what was being said), but a Japanese person from the tour who lives in the U.S. helped by translating. Thank you very much! Their son, who looked to be around middle school age, was cute and considerate.

I was worried about whether I could get on the horse properly, but when I managed to do so, they said things like "As expected!" The horseback riding experience was something I had done several times before, and each time I ended up feeling stiff and tired, but this time I was able to enjoy it leisurely in nature.

The path was quite wild. While I felt safe riding the horse itself, we got to see waterfalls along the way and splashed through rivers, which is not something you get to experience often. I think the horseback riding experience in Waipi'o Valley is a recommended tour for nature lovers and those who want to ride horses. Even if you're not fluent in English, you can still enjoy it. However, you won't be able to hear the explanations along the way. It's not because it's in English; it's just that you can't hear when you're further away. So it might be the same in Japanese as well.

皆さんが書いているように、すごい急な坂道を４ＷＤの車で谷底へ。
そしてお待ちかねのお馬さんに乗ります。
説明は全部英語でされるのでなんとなく心配（というかなんといっているか聞き取れない）でしたが、一緒のツアーの在米の日本人の方が通訳をしてくれて助かりました。ありがとうございました。そしてその方の息子さんが中学生くらいなのにかわいくて気遣ってくれました。
うまく馬に乗り移れるか心配だった私がうまく乗り移れると「さすが～」とか言ってくれたりして・・
乗馬体験はなんどかしているいて、そのたびにかちんこちんで疲れるのですが、今回は自然の中でゆったりと楽しめました。
なにしろワイルドな道なんですよ。乗馬そのものは安心して乗れますが・・
途中では滝が見られたり、川をざばざば行ったりとなかなかできない体験ではないでしょうか？
ワイピオ渓谷の乗馬体験は自然派にも、乗馬をしたい人にもおすすめのツアーだと思います。
英語が堪能でなくても、十分楽しめますよ。ただし、道すがらの説明は聞こえません。英語だからではなく離れると聞こえないんです。なので日本語でも英語でも同じかもしれません。

Beautiful views of Kohala mountains and ocean. Guides accessed the experience of the group and allowed cantering. Some how the 2.5 hr wasn't long enough. Glad we did this.

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

Horseback riding in a breathtaking landscape. 絶景の中での乗馬

Reviewed by: 自然児

It was the first time for my husband and children to ride horses properly. After a brief explanation in English, each person was assigned a horse, and they quickly got on. From the moment they mounted, they held the reins themselves and started moving! At first, my sons were nervous, but after about 10 minutes, they seemed to be having a great time. They enjoyed the beautiful scenery while riding. Then, after about 30 to 40 minutes, when the instructor asked, "Do you want to try running?" they all nodded and started to run together! My eldest son enjoyed running several times afterward, while my younger son, who was scared, took his time walking, which was nice as everyone could progress at their own pace. After more than an hour and a half of riding, we finished, and it was interesting to see the contrasting feelings between the exhausted parents and the kids who wanted to ride even more. As a side note, it seemed beneficial for my sons, who are learning English, that everything was conducted in English.

ちゃんとした乗馬が初めての主人と子供たち。
英語での簡単な説明の後、一人に一頭の馬があてがわれ、早速乗ることに。
乗った瞬間から手綱を自分で持ち、移動開始！
始めはドキドキしていた息子たちは10分もすると楽しそうに。
素晴らしい景色を堪能しながらの楽しい乗馬を満喫していました。
そして30～40分して頃、「走ってみたい？」というインストラクターの一声に頷くと皆で一斉に走り始めることに！
走りを満喫する長男はその後も何度か走りに挑戦、怖いという次男はマイペースに歩き、と個々のペースで進めることもありがたかったです。
一時間半以上の乗馬の後に終了したが、くたくたの親ともっともっと乗っていたかった、ということもたちの感想が対照的でした。
補足ではありますが、英語を学習中の息子たちにとっては英語オンリーであることも良かったみたいです。

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

Couples total of 4 guest.

Reviewed by: Jewel

First it started off with a mix up with the dates!! I booked for 8-29-2016 with the voucher confirmation for the 29th of August but was contacted by the host stating that we are schedule for 8-31-2016. We have already left the Condo, on our way to the tour which is a 1 1/2 hrs away when I got a call from the host of the tour!!!! We have already been driving for about 1/2 hr at that point. So then the tour was cancelled for 8-31-2016 due to the Hurricane threat and was told that I will be refunded. So I am back in my home town without doing any of the things I wanted to do!!!!!
