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

また、行きたい

Reviewed by: いっちゃん

前日に中止になるかもと連絡があり、当日の連絡を待っていましたが無し。何とかレンタカーが現地に行けましたが、少々分かりにくい場所です。
そんなこんなで始まるまでは不満と不安でしたが、実際に乗馬が始まると、めちゃくちゃ楽しい!
お馬さんがとにかく、賢いです。標高が高いので雨がコースによっては降ったので、泥濘みもありましたが、すごく上手に歩いてくれます。
雨に濡れた草原がキレイに映ります。
そんな中を映画の一コマみたいに野生の豚の親子が10匹程で横断します。2時間半があっという間にです。本当に素晴らしい体験でした。。
すごくまた、行きたいです。

Our tour guide (Shawn) was VERY informative and passionate about telling us the history and sacredness of Waipio Valley, the Valley of the Kings. We had such a great time! My 7yr old (who doesn’t like to sit still) enjoyed this tour immensely! Especially trying to find the prawns in the stream. Would definitely do this again!

宿泊していたヒルトン・ワイコロアが運良く海側最突端の部屋でしたが、朝や昼に海を眺めていると遠くでブロー&ブリーチングをしている姿が見えます。

Tips from someone who has been there-
Dress as if you are visiting a frozen tundra. Its cold.

Take someone you love with you so you have a witness to what you are seeing- this helps to ease your mind from thinking its a dream. You will be in disbelief of the awesome beauty.
