Guided Waipio Valley Horseback Riding & Waterfall Tour [Closed]

Best experience

Reviewed by: Deb Morris

It was my first time on a horse for decades and thanks to the wonderful guides and calm horses, i never felt safer. The scenery is fabulous and the guides have a huge and amazing knowledge of the valley, its inhabitants whether human or animal, as well as the plentiful edible plant life. They really made the trek perfect. Highly recommend whether a first timer or an experienced rider, you will not regret it.

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

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！

Taking a leisurely walk on horseback through the refreshing valley became a wonderful memory!

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Beautiful Views

Reviewed by: NLKTravel

Pros: Our guide was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot. You go from sea level to about 13,800 feet, so remember to drink water. The views at 13,803 feet were beautiful. The observatories are interesting to see (from the outside). You observe stars with an 11" telescope at the visiter center parking lot. The guide points out stars/planets that everyone gets a chance to see. They give you jackets with gloves available.

Cons: It is a bumpy ride and some of the road is dirt. The "hot" meal was more of a box lunch. Bathroom breaks are limited. You do climb to 14,000', be prepared for the climate and altitude change. I was under the impression we could see more of the observatories, you only see them from the outside and are not allowed in.

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

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。

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。

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！！

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）

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。

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。

Horseback riding in nature is the best! However... 大自然の中での乗馬は最高！ ですが…

Reviewed by: タケのコ

I rode a horse for an hour and a half in the great outdoors of Waipi'o Valley. I truly enjoyed it. However, I believe that a certain level of intermediate English proficiency is absolutely necessary for this tour, as you need to understand natural-speed English and be able to express yourself clearly in English.

I arrived at the meeting place 30 minutes early and wasn't sure where the check-in area was, so I asked in English if check-in was necessary, but the answer was NO. Just before the time, I asked another Japanese tour participant, who told me that the check-in was done at the back, so I hurried to complete the process. Then, I was scolded for being too slow in English.

Up until a certain point after the tour started, everything was going well and I was having fun, but my wife's horse got startled and began to act up after bumping into the horse behind it, causing a rodeo-like situation, and my wife was almost in tears. Even then, she was reprimanded for her riding style.

I think it's a tour that potential participants should consider the risk that even an amateur riding normally could lead to a horse acting up. While I was very satisfied with the content of the tour, my wife felt very scared and uncomfortable. I wish she could have expressed in English that it wasn't her fault when the horse started acting up...

If nothing happens, you can enjoy it by following along, but I want everyone to be aware of the risks mentioned. The only time we received a smile was when they were accepting tips...

ワイピオ渓谷の大自然の中を馬に乗って、１時間半。本当に堪能させてもらいました。
が、このツアーはナチュラルスピードの英語が聞き取れ、しっかりと英語で意思表示できるくらいの中級英語力は絶対必要なツアーだと思いました。
30分前に集合場所に到着し、受付場所がよくわからないのでチェックインは必要なのか？頑張って英語で聞いたところ、NO。時間ギリギリで別の日本人ツアー参加者に聞いたところ、奥で手続しましたと言われ慌てて手続き。すると、英語であまりにも遅いとケンカ腰でまくしたてられました。
ツアーが始まってから途中までは何事もなく、楽しく過ごしていたのですが、妻の馬が後ろの馬にぶつかられて驚き暴れだしてロデオ状態になり、妻は半泣き状態になりましたが、ここでも妻の乗り方が悪いと叱責する始末。
素人が普通に乗って馬が暴れるようなリスクが一定の可能性であることも、頭に入れて申込みを検討された方がいいと思うツアーです。

何もなければ、見よう見まねで楽しめますが、記載したリスクがあることは皆さんにお伝えしたいと思います。チップを受け取るときだけでしたよ、我々に笑顔だったのは…

It takes about an hour and a half by car from Kailua-Kona to the meeting point, and I arrived without getting lost thanks to the map. We took the shop's van down the steep slopes of Waipi'o Valley to reach the starting point for horseback riding. Along the course, we crossed rivers, saw several waterfalls, and observed wild plants and fruits growing along the side paths. The horses were calm, and I never felt in danger as we enjoyed a fun hour and a half. This is a highly recommended tour that takes you to places that are not easily accessible on foot.

カイルアコナから集合場所まで車で約1時間半、地図を頼りに迷うことなく到着。お店のバンでワイピオ渓谷の急坂を下り乗馬のスタート地点に到着。コースの途中では川を渡ったり、幾つかの滝を見たり、脇道に自生する植物や果物を見たりしながら進みます。馬も大人しく、危険を感じることもなくあっという間に楽しい1時間半ほどが過ぎてします。歩いては簡単に行けないところへ行けるお勧めのツアーです。
