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

Enjoy the great nature of Kohara Plateau! Relaxing horseback riding for a healing time. コハラ高原の大自然を満喫!ゆったり乗馬で癒やしの時間

Reviewed by: あっちゃん

On the day of the event, it was a bit chilly with cloudy skies and some wind, but riding horses in the open scenery of the highlands was very enjoyable and became a memorable experience. The staff provided thorough guidance, allowing us to participate with peace of mind. There were also opportunities to speed up and run a couple of times, which was great because it added a bit of active fun to the leisurely riding. The time spent riding through the vast Kohala Coast ranch felt extraordinary and was very soothing.

当日は風があり曇り空で少し肌寒かったのですが、高原の開放的な景色の中での乗馬はとても楽しく、思い出に残る体験になりました。スタッフの方も丁寧に案内してくださり、安心して参加することができました。途中で2回ほどスピードを上げて走る機会もあり、ゆったりした乗馬だけでなく、少しアクティブな楽しさも味わえたのが良かったです。広大なコハラ・コーストの牧場を馬に乗って進む時間は非日常感があり、とても癒やされました。

Tips and suggestions

On windy days, the perceived temperature in the highlands is lower, making it feel a bit cold (having something to wear over is reassuring).

Dolphin Quest Hawaii - Dolphin Swim & Encounter at Hilton Waikoloa Village

So much Fun!

Reviewed by: Waikoloa2026

Three of my kids participated in the swimming with the dolphins and LOVED IT! One even said it was the best day of her life! It was very informative and Patrick had a really great personality and interacted with well with all the participants in the group. I highly recommend going to Dolphin Quest at the Hilton Waikoloa!

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー  レジェンズ・オブ・ハワイ(ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジ)<日・火・金催行/ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題>

It's very beautiful and impressive! とても美しくて、迫力あります!

Reviewed by: Y.K

The hula dance was very beautiful and relaxed, which eased my mind. The flowing dresses that matched the movements and the graceful fingertips were elegant. The Tahitian dance was powerful and impressive. I really enjoyed the Hawaiian atmosphere. I'm glad I came to see it.

Dancing myself was fun, even though it was just for a short time during the meal. Many people left during the cool time when they took a break for dinner, but since the dance continued until 8 PM, I was happy to see it until the end.

If you're staying at the Hilton Waikoloa Village Hotel, I recommend going to see it.

フラダンスはとても美しくゆったりとしていて心が和らぎました。動きに合わせて流れるようなドレスも、滑らかな指先も優美でした。タヒチアンダンスは迫力があって圧巻でした。ハワイ気分を満喫できました。見に来てよかったです。
自分でダンスをするのは、食事の席で短い時間でしたが楽しかったです。
途中で食事時間を取るクールタイムに帰ってしまう人が大勢いましたが、20時までダンスはあるので最後まで見れて良かったです。
ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジホテルに泊まるなら、見に行く事をお勧めします。

Once in a lifetime!

Reviewed by: Gina & Denise

How often can you get a kiss from a dolphin!? For me, this is once in a lifetime experience.. at least until I I come back and do it again!! The dolphins were great to interact with, our dolphin handler really ensured we all had time to interact with the dolphins. And Jennifer made sure that we understood how to appropriately interact with them. Always wonderful when animal handlers ensure the welfare and safety of the animal is a priority.

Reviewed by: Oliver

The weather was perfect with no wind, and we had a truly happy time riding such cute and smart horses while enjoying the breathtaking views. Thanks to the guide's thoughtful care and gentle support, we felt safe and relaxed throughout the entire experience. My husband and I kept saying how much fun it was, and it truly became a wonderful memory for us. The woman who joined the tour with us was also very lovely, which made the atmosphere even nicer. This was one of the most unforgettable experiences of our trip to the Big Island. When we come back to Hawaii Island, we will definitely join again. If there were goods featuring the horse I rode or local items to support the ranch, I would have absolutely bought them. I would be so happy if you could create something like that. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!!

天気も最高で風もなく、素晴らしい景色の中で可愛くて賢いお馬さんに乗ることができ、本当に幸せな時間でした。ガイドさんの細やかな気遣いや優しいサポートのおかげで、終始安心して楽しむことができました。夫と「本当に楽しかったね」と何度も話すほど、心から素敵な思い出になりました。一緒に参加していた女性の方もとても素敵な方で、雰囲気もとても良く、ハワイ島旅行の中で忘れられない体験のひとつになりました。次にハワイ島に来た時も、絶対にまた参加したいです。自分が乗ったお馬さんのグッズや、牧場を応援できるローカルグッズがあったら必ず買っていたと思います。もし作っていただけたらとても嬉しいです。本当にありがとうございました!

The food and show were both great. It seemed like a smaller venue than one we went to on Maui a few years ago, which was nice because there was less wait to get food and every seat had a great view of the show. Great for the kids, it wrapped up around 7:30pm. Fire dance was pretty cool as well.

What a wonderful experience to get close to dolphins! My daughter (11) loved it so much. She got to swim with the dolphins and work with the trainer to give commands to the dolphins.

Day Trip from Kona to Oahu - Complete Pearl Harbor Tour with Lunch & Airfare Included

This was a day well spent

Reviewed by: Elverta Kid

Our Pearl Harbor and Ford Island tour was an unforgettable and meaningful experience. The visit to the USS Arizona Memorial was deeply moving, offering a powerful reminder of the events of December 7, 1941, and the lives lost that day. Touring the Battleship Missouri was equally inspiring—standing on the very deck where World War II ended felt humbling and historic. Our tour guide, Ernest, was an interesting and engaging addition who shared fascinating stories and insights that brought history to life. Lunch at the Ford Island Aviation Museum was good and provided a nice break in the day. We also appreciated the smooth, on-time flights between Kona and Honolulu with Southwest Airlines—comfortable and well-handled from start to finish. The round-trip bus transportation to and from the airport was convenient, well-organized, and stress-free. Overall, this was a well-planned, educational, and memorable day we’ll long remember.
