This was my second time participating, and I loved it just as much as last year! The two-hour horseback riding experience with the adorable horses is something you can't find in Japan. The hospitality of the staff was also wonderful, and I was very satisfied once again! I've been to the Big Island over ten times, but this experience is truly the best.
昨年に引き続き、大変気に入って2度目の参加でした!かわいい馬と一緒にたっぷり2時間の乗馬体験は日本では味わえません。スタッフの皆さんのホスピタリティも素晴らしく、今回も大満足でした!ハワイ島は10回以上来ていますが、この体験は本当に最高です。
枝葉をかき分けて行く場所もあるので、長ズボンは必須です!

Loved this tour - our tour guide was very accommodating and knowledgeable and we saw some beautiful spots of the island. Definitely recommend this trip as you get to see a lot in one day. My favourite places were the black sand beach with the sea turtles and the Volcanoes National Park (but to be honest, I loved all the sites).

It was a style of riding where guests from all over the world lined up and rode slowly in a procession. I was the only Japanese person, but I didn't feel any language barrier when it came to horseback riding, so there were no issues with communication. Since it was a style that included beginners and first-timers, those who are intermediate or advanced might find it a bit lacking. At a viewpoint on a small hill where you can see the ocean, the staff will take photos for you.
世界中のゲストと一緒に、隊列を組んでゆっくりと並足で外乗するスタイルでした。日本人は私だけでしたが、乗馬に言葉の壁は感じることはなく言葉の問題はありませんでした。初心者、初めての方も一緒に行くスタイルなので、中級者以上は少し物足りないかもしれません。小高い丘から海を眺められるビュースポットでは、スタッフが写真を撮ってくれます。
I think it's better to prepare long-sleeved shirts, long pants, gloves, and a hat. It feels like everything is at your own risk.

My first zipline experience! There were about ten participants, and at first, we received help from the instructor to put on the necessary gear like harnesses and helmets. After that, we took a van up to the starting point on the hill. Once we arrived, we received a briefing on safety precautions for ziplining and then descended the first zipline over grass to confirm our basic movements. From there, we continued at quite a speed over a valley with three waterfalls and above the river. We took breaks along the way for hydration and fruit, enjoying the thrill of eight ziplines, including the longest one over 600 meters. (Originally there were nine, but the eighth zipline was under maintenance, so we did a total of eight.) The speed and height were a bit scary at first, but by the end, I was able to enjoy the scenery. Some experienced adults and children even went upside down while zipping, having a great time.
初めてのジップライン体験!10人くらいの参加者で、最初はインストラクターに手伝ってもらいながらハーネス?やヘルメットなどの必要な装備を装着。そこからワゴン車に乗って丘の上の方にある出発点に連れられて行かれます。到着したらジップライン滑空時の注意事項などの説明を受け1本目の草地の上のジップラインを下り基本動作を確認。その先は三連滝のある渓谷の上や川の上を結構なスピードで続けて下って行きます。途中で水分補給やフルーツをいただいて休憩も取りつつ最も長いので600mを超える長さのものを含む8本のジップラインを爽快感を味わいながら下りました。(本来9本ながら8番目のジップラインがメンテナンス作業中だったため計8本に)スピード感、高さとも最初はちょっと怖いくらいでしたが、最後の方では景色を楽しむ余裕が出て来ました。慣れている大人や子どもの中には逆さまになって下る人たちもいて楽しんでいました。
All the instructors only speak English, so if you don't speak some English, you might miss important instructions. While going down the zip line, I received a warning because I wasn't able to follow t
インストラクターは全員英語しか話さないので多少は英語が話せないと注意事項を聞き逃すかも。ジップラインを下っている最中は膝を曲げる指示があったのをできておらず注意を受けました。

We participated as a family of four. The other three members were beginners at horseback riding, but the staff was very attentive, and above all, the horses are smart, which made us feel at ease. The trail for the outdoor ride offers beautiful scenery with views of the sea, forests, hills, and rivers. They also take photos at a stunning viewpoint with the sea in the background, so even if you don't have the time to take pictures yourself, you can relax. During the ride, they provide explanations about the plants and animals. Although it's not a Japanese tour, if you can manage everyday conversation in English, you'll be able to enjoy the conversation fully.
家族4人で参加しました。私以外の3人は乗馬初心者でしたが、スタッフが気配りしてくれるのと、何よりお馬さんが利口なので安心です。外乗するコースは海、林、丘、川辺と景色が豊かで楽しめます。海をバックにした絶景ポイントで写真も撮ってくれるので、自分では写真を撮れる余裕のない方でも安心してください。外乗中は植物や動物についても解説してくれます。日本語ツアーではありませんが、日常会話程度の英語ができる方ならば十分に会話も楽しめます。
Even with the navigation on, it's easy to get lost on how to enter the ranch, so please be careful. We passed it by. Also, helmets are only for those who want them, so hats are a must. Sun protection

It's a tour without a Japanese guide, but you can enjoy it without any problems.
First, there is a lecture about horseback riding. Then, each child gets to ride a horse, and they are very gentle, so my son had no issues riding.
We lined up and went through the grasslands, moving into the woods. Along the way, there were horses grazing, which was very cute.
After passing through the woods, we took a break at the waterfall basin. You can wear your swimsuit in advance and swim in the river or ride a paddle boat. We had about 30 minutes, so we were able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace.
After the break, we returned the way we came, and the tour ended. The entire experience was in English, and I didn't understand most of the explanations along the way, but the experience itself was very good!
日本語ガイドが居ないツアーですが、問題無く楽しめます。
最初に乗馬についてのレクチャーがあります。続いて子供も1人一頭馬に乗りますが、とても大人しいので息子も問題無く乗っていました。
一列に並んで草原を抜け、林へと進みます。途中草を喰む馬も居てとても可愛かったです。
林を抜けて滝つぼの所で休憩。予め水着を着ておいて川で泳いだりパドルボートに乗ることが出来ます。30分ほど時間があるのでゆっくり楽しめました。
休憩後、来た道を戻ってツアーは終了です。
全編英語で途中の解説はほぼ分かりませんでしたが、体験自体がとても良かったです!
Since there is no shuttle service, you need to come by rental car. I recommend the malasadas at Tex Drive In along the way; they were delicious!
送迎が無いので、レンタカーで自力で来る必要があります。途中のTex Drive Inのマラサダが美味しかったのでオススメです。

We enjoyed our day. The staff were organized and very friendly. They ensured everyone was safe and comfortable. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed being able to explore the property and look at the waterfalls. We had a nice time sitting by the waterfall and having time to enjoy going in the water. We were a bit disappointed by the ride itself as were are more seasoned and experienced riders. The pace was very geared to beginners and some guests had no clue what they were doing and that slowed the activity. We also hoped to have a ride close by ocean and that isn’t part of this activity, not their fault. I should have looked into that more. We basically road around through trails in a field. One last bit of advice, they should chill the drink they serve better. We appreciated though being provided a drink and snack part way through.
Ask about who you’re going to be touring with, as less experienced tourists slow the pace down.

The zip line gradually becomes higher and longer, designed to be more exciting and high-speed, making it a lot of fun. The guides are also great at getting everyone excited, creating a sense of togetherness as we all enjoy ourselves. It's true that if you can't speak English, you might miss half of the conversation, but even so, I was able to participate in the discussions and feel the enjoyable atmosphere.
ジップラインは次第に高く、長いものになり、よりエキサイティングかつハイスピードになるよう構成されていて、すごく楽しいです。

If you rely entirely on the navigation system to get to the meeting place, you might not arrive. A little caution is needed at the end.
