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

It was a good experience. 良い経験になりました

Reviewed by: mika

I traveled for an hour and a half from Kona. It was my first time horseback riding, and I don't understand much English, but I chose this experience because I read that important points would be explained in Japanese as well.

The guide was friendly, and since we could bring our dog along, it was a comforting experience for our dog-loving family!

I wanted to feel the air of Waipi'o Valley, so the leisurely horseback riding time was the best. I thought it would have been even better if I had understood the explanations more clearly.

Some of the horses were a bit energetic, but it seemed like they assigned them based on the riders' experience levels.

コナから一時間半かけて行きました。
乗馬は初めて、英語もあまりわからないけど、他の方の体験談に重要なとこは日本語でも言ってくれると書いてあったので択びました。

ガイドさんはフレンドリーだし、わんちゃんも一緒に行くので犬好き我が家はそれも癒しでした!

ワイピオ渓谷の谷の空気を感じたかったのでゆったり乗馬しながらの時間は最高でした。
説明がわかったらもっと良かったかなと思いましたが。

馬によってはちょっと、元気な子もいましたが、慣れてる人に充てがわれてたので、経験度を見て選んでくれてるようです。

Dear Mika,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

We appreciate your kind words about the horseback riding, the guide, and even the dog on the Big Island of Hawaii. Given the size of the Big Island, it is a bit of a distance from Kona, so we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your time.

We look forward to serving you again.

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Great tour!

Reviewed by: Flow

We had a great time on this tour. We were able to see many different places on the island and our tour guide Awana had great knowledge of the island. The tour is a lot of driving but the van is decently comfortable and they have frequent stops to get out and stretch.

Horseback riding to experience the great nature of Hawaii Island. ハワイ島の大自然を感じられる乗馬

Reviewed by: あみん

The weather was nice, and it was a pleasant horseback ride! Even though my English listening skills are not very good, I had a great time! We crossed a river, encountered wild horses, and got a glimpse of the local people's lives; it was a satisfying ride on the long course! The journey to get there was also very thrilling (laughs). However, there was an office next to the meeting point, but it wasn't mentioned on the voucher, so it was a bit hard to find. Also, that was the last place with a restroom, which made me a little worried. Other than that, I was very satisfied!

お天気もよく、気持ちのよい乗馬でした♪
英語があんまり聞き取れないレベルでも、とても楽しめました!
川をわたったり、野生の馬に遭遇したり、現地の人の生活が垣間見れたり、ロングコースで満足のいくライドでした!
行くまでの行程もとてもスリリングでした(笑)
ただ、集合場所のとなりに事務所があったのですが、バウチャーには記載がなかったのでわかりずらかったかなと思います。あと、トイレもそこが最後だったのでちょっと心配になりました。
それ以外は大満足です!

Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley

Great local tour guide kept you entertained along the way while enjoying the breathtaking view of Waipio Valley. Well worthy of the money!

Reviewed by: David

We had a wonderful trip, thanks to our terrific tour guide, Gary! There is only one road down to the valley and up. It is narrow, wet, slippery, and so many sharp turns. Traffic were quite busy in both directions on the day of our trip. Gary apparently is very familiar with the road, and he knows where to stop and wait for the incoming traffic, and when to steer ahead. While maneuvering the shuttle smoothly on a very challenging road, he was busy talking to us about the valley’s history, stories, residents, etc. There are stories everywhere from a tree, a sign, a spring, to a pond. He surely made the trip interesting, even drawing the interest from my younger son who has been bored all the way prior to the tour. The valley scenes are definitely beautiful and breathtaking. You can find all different views with every turn of the road. We took millions of photos. Just be careful don’t drop your phone or camera out of the window. Overall we love the views, and we learned quite a lot from our knowledgeable guide, Gary. I think it is a well worthwhile experience that suits everyone who loves nature and story and who doesn’t have time or energy to go down and up the valley on foot.

In the end, I wonder if I was able to get along with the horse. 最後は、馬と仲良くなれたかな。

Reviewed by: としゆき

Driving down the valley from the Waipio lookout is also part of the activity. I believe I can ride a horse that suits me. It seems to be a nervous horse, but I think I'll be fine. We weave through the trees, cross streams, and climb a little hill. Slowly. Next, I want to try galloping as well. The pleasant time passed in the blink of an eye.

WAIPIO lookoutから渓谷を車で下るのもアクティビティのうち。自分に合った馬だと信じ跨がる。神経質な馬らしい。だけど私なら大丈夫。木々を抜け、沢を渡り,ちょっとした坂も登る。ゆっくり。次はギャロップもしてみたい。気持ちの良い時間はあっという間でした。

素晴らしい冒険の時間!!! Great Adventure time!!!

Reviewed by: sakurakko

When we decided to go to the Big Island, we wanted to ride horses. So we rented a car and joined this tour. We were worried about whether we could drive there, but it was easy. This tour was wonderful, and we had a great time. We experienced things we can't experience in Japan (for example, cracking macadamia nuts and eating freshly picked mangoes) before riding horses.

Moreover, the cats and dogs raised on the farm were very friendly and cute. We had ridden horses at various locations many times before, but the horses at this farm were very calm. We enjoyed crossing the river and strolling through the forests while riding. We took many photos.

This adventure was awesome!!!!!! We want to join this tour again if we go to the Big Island.

By the way, we went to “Tex Drive In,” which the guide recommended. We ordered malasadas with no filling, chocolate, and custard cream. The malasadas at this restaurant were very delicious.

Mahalo!!

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: KEN

I was moved by the guide's polite and overly kind Japanese (with a little bit of English mixed in). The explanation of horseback riding was slow and easy to understand. Once I was on the horse, I could relax and trust the horse, while three dogs accompanied us around. It was the best experience! I rode for over an hour, and it was so much fun. The nature was amazing, and I was truly satisfied.

ガイドさんの丁寧で優しすぎる日本語(英語の中で少しだけ入る)に感動し、乗馬の説明もゆっくりと分かりやすく、乗ってからは人に慣れた馬に体を任せて、その周りには3匹の犬が一緒に回るなんて最高でした。

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

It's a horseback riding tour surrounded by water, greenery, beautiful scenery, and wild fruits in the canyon. 渓谷で水、緑、良い景色、野生のフルーツに囲まれた乗馬ツアーです

Reviewed by: たかはしFamily

I was a bit nervous about the English tour, but it turned out to be manageable. First, we filled out a waiver at the meeting point and received explanations about safety before boarding the van to Waipi'o Valley. During the briefing, we were advised against bringing backpacks, as they could cause us to lose balance and fall off the horse. I left my things in the car and went hands-free. A bag that fits snugly against your body should be fine.

When we arrived at the horses, the instructor explained how to ride. After that, we were matched with our horses. There were about 15 participants, with 7-8 Japanese and 6-7 Americans, so it took around 20 minutes for everyone to get matched. I was one of the first to ride, and my horse was moving around a lot, eating grass, which was quite amusing.

Once we set off, we crossed rivers and walked along mountain paths. The guide explained the fruits growing along the roadside, which was interesting. The whole horseback riding experience lasted about two hours before we returned.

When participating, it's best to wear comfortable sneakers that you don't mind getting dirty, along with jeans or hiking pants and a shirt that can get wet. Since the horses tend to stick their heads under branches, wearing long sleeves can help prevent scrapes.

英語ツアーとのことで、ちょっと緊張しましたがどうにかなる感じでした。
最初に集合場所で誓約書的なものを記入し、危険に関する説明などを受けてバンに乗ってワイピオ渓谷へ向かいます。説明の中ではリュックサックなどはバランスを崩して落馬する可能性があるのであまりお勧めできないとのこと。私も車において手ぶらで行きました。ある程度体に密着するようなバッグなら大丈夫そうです。
馬のところに着いたら、インストラクターが乗り方を説明してくれます。そのあと各自に馬を引き合わせてくれて乗ります。参加したときは日本人7~8人、アメリカ人6~7人の15名くらいのメンバーだったので引き渡しに20分くらいかかった印象です。私は最初に乗ったので馬がアチコチ動き回って草を食べたりしてなかなか面白かったです。
出発してからは川を渡ったり、山道を歩いたり。
ガイドさんが道端に生っている果物を都度説明してくれて興味深かったです。
およそ2時間くらい乗馬して帰ってくる工程です。
参加するときはスニーカーなどの履きなれて汚れてもよい靴、濡れてもよいジーンズやハイキング用のズボンとシャツで行かれるとよいです。また馬が木の枝の下などに頭を突っ込むのでできれば長袖の方が擦り傷など付かなくてよいと思います。

  • こんな感じでテクテクと

  • ワイピオ渓谷で一番いい眺め(だと思う)

I booked a horseback riding tour in Waipi'o Valley at the request of my family. I was a bit anxious about the lack of transportation and that it was only in English, but I arrived without any issues using Google Maps for navigation, and I managed to communicate through gestures and simple words. Riding in the great outdoors, which we wouldn't have been able to do on our own, was truly amazing. The satisfaction exceeded my expectations, and if I have the chance to go again, I would love to join this tour once more!

Grand Circle Island Tour - Volcano, Black Sand Beach, Waipio Valley & Waterfalls

Tour Guide Rigid

Reviewed by: big island tour

The tour was nice and Big Island is beautiful, but our tour guide gave an extensive history of Big Island which felt removed and disconnected from what we were seeing. The guide was asked multiple times from other people on the tour about things they had noticed during the tour but the guide was stuck on the historical narrative and refused to talk about "politics", yet the questions being asked were quite simple and relevant to what we were seeing. He was very knowledgeable but it made for a very tiring and boring ride. It would be great if he could break up the historical narrative with some more present-day information about Big Island.

Guided Waipio Valley Horseback Riding & Waterfall Tour [Closed]

GLORIOUS

Reviewed by: Linda from Colorado

What a marvelous adventure! This is my second time. The first time I did it with my local friend and my older grand daughter. It was stellar and why we opted do do it yet again. This time I brought my 2 grand girls (13 & 16). One is a good rider, one a beginner. Both of them had a marvelous time and had wonderful horses. I'm an advanced rider and loved my horse and the entire experience. The guides are a delight and taught me much I didn't know about the valley and it's contents and history, even though I already knew quite a bit. I can't say enough about how perfect the experience was. I'll do this ride again and again, every time I come to the island. I could not have been more pleased with everything about this adventure.

I had some anxiety about meeting on-site and only using English, but it was wonderful. The horseback riding was great, and the location at Waipi'o Valley was fantastic.

This horseback riding experience was so amazing! The guides were very experienced and there were experienced riders and first-timers in our group. Each participant was treated individually and to their level of comfort and experience! We rode through creeks and foliage and the slightest rainfall...it was a beautiful ride and gorgeous environment. The guides told us the history of the island and the Hawaiians who settled the valley...we also saw the wild horses along the way. Magical experience! 5-star!

Breathtaking view! 絶景!

Reviewed by: ももたろう

I was worried about my English skills and whether I would enjoy it, but it was fine. There was nothing difficult, and I just let the well-trained horses take me on a walk while enjoying the scenery and plants. I thought it would have been better if the course didn't have a U-turn, but it seems that's how it is. All the tours I passed by were similar.

If you have a rental car, you can easily arrive with the help of a GPS while driving. I was torn between a plan with Japanese language support and transportation, but I recommend this tour because of its low price. The staff arriving late at the meeting time can be seen as a charming aspect of the foreign experience.

英語力が心配で楽しめるかな?っていう不安がありましたが、大丈夫。
難しい事は何もなく、よく慣れているお馬さんにお任せで景色や植物を見て散歩してきました。コースがUターンじゃなければ尚よろしいと思ったのですが、仕方がないみたい。どのツアーも同じような感じですれ違いました。
レンタカーが有れば、カーナビの助けも借りてドライブしながら簡単に到着出来ました。
日本語・送迎付きプランと迷いましたが、料金格安のこちらのツアーはお勧めです。
集合時間にスタッフが遅れてくる所は外国人らしさのご愛嬌という事で。

Guided Waipio Valley Horseback Riding & Waterfall Tour [Closed]

Tried with older parents. Great experience

Reviewed by: Pia

Once in lifetime trip with my parents (both in 70s but fit). We went to the ranch (a little hard to find), drove down with the guides in a 4 wheeler......quite a drive. A very scenic but bumpy 30 minute ride to stables, another 30 minutes to get the whole party mounted up on horseback, and then a leisurely 2+ hours trek through magical lush green landscape, splashing through streams and seeing wild horses grazing, surrounded by towering cliffs and occasional waterfalls.

Only issue -- you won't really hear the guides once you start going. So do some reading up on Waipio vallyet beforehand, and then just enjoy what you are seeing. My mom has never been on horseback, my dad maybe 40 years ago, and they did just fine.

Reviewed by: Tiger405

I had a hard time finding the barn at Waipi'o on Horseback. I thought there was a sign on the right side of the road, but it was actually on the left. I didn't realize it and ended up passing by and going all the way to the lookout. It's 11 miles from Honokaa on Highway 240, about 2 miles before the lookout.

After gathering at the barn, we descended into Waipi'o Valley for 20 minutes in a 4WD. We were advised to carry as little as possible, so I left my belongings in the rental car.

I joined an English tour with 8 people, but since there were 6 Japanese participants, the guide spoke in broken Japanese, saying things like "dangerous" and "left." However, all the documents and explanations about the trees during the tour were in English. They also took photos along the way, so a camera is a must. I was told that the 4WD wouldn't be locked, so while valuables shouldn't be brought, I wish I had brought a drink.

The horseback riding lasted about an hour. The horses calmly crossed rough paths and fast-flowing rivers. It was a unique experience that I really enjoyed.

ワイピオオンホースバックの納屋を探すのに苦労しました。道路右手に看板があると思ったら、実際は左手。気づかず通り過ぎて展望台まで行ってしまいました。ホノカアから240号で11マイル先、展望台から2マイル手前です。
納屋で集合した後、ワイピオ渓谷を4WDで20分下ります。荷物は極力持たないようにとのことでしたのでレンタカーに置いていきました。
8名の英語ツアーに参加しましたが、日本人が6名でしたのでガイドの方はアブナイ、ヒダリとかカタコトの日本語で話してくれます。ただ書類やツアー中の木々の説明は全て英語です。途中で写真も撮ってくれるのでカメラは必須です。移動する4WDは鍵をかけないとのことでしたので、貴重品はだめですがドリンクは持参すればよかったと思いました。
乗馬の時間は1時間くらいです。足場の悪い道や流れの速い川を馬は平然と渡って行きます。普段経験出来ないことなので、大変楽しかったです。

After riding and holding the reins tightly, she crossed a stream and exclaimed, "This is fun!" When she saw the fruits and beautiful flowers along the path, she said, "How lovely!" And upon seeing the waterfall in the valley, she shouted, "This is the best!" She seemed to want more than just an hour of horseback riding.

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

The groin... 股間が・・・・

Reviewed by: けんけん

I was a bit anxious about the English guide, but the guide was great, and I was able to enjoy myself with a little Japanese. Horseback riding was a first experience for my whole family, and I thought we might need a bit of practice, but we were just taught how to ride and control the horse, and then we started riding. It turned out to be a really fun time.

After about two hours of horseback riding, my groin started to hurt. Also, the microbus ride to Waipi'o was enjoyable.

英語ガイドで少し不安がありましたが、ガイドの方が良く、少しの日本語で楽しく過ごせました。乗馬は家族全員が初めての体験で少しは練習がるのではと思いましたが、馬に乗る方法やコントロールする方法を教えて頂いただけで、乗馬開始、でもすごく楽しい時間を過ごすこととができました。
約2時間の乗馬が終わると股間が痛くなりまりました。また、ワイピオまでのマイクロバスは楽しかったです。

Wild horseback riding tour ワイルドな乗馬ツアー

Reviewed by: あきぽん

I went horseback riding in Waipi'o Valley, which is considered a sacred place for the people of Hawaii. We drove down a narrow, steep slope in a 4WD vehicle and rode horses in a secluded area that felt almost like a jungle. After a brief explanation, we got right into riding. We crossed a river and went through the forest; it truly felt like an adventure. My horse was named Sweet Oakley. He was well-trained and listened carefully to the instructions. My 8 and 11-year-old children also had a great time.

ハワイの人々にとっての聖地とされるワイピオ渓谷で乗馬しました。4WDの車で細くて急な坂を下り、ほぼジャングルのような人気の少ないところでお馬さんに乗りました。簡単な説明の後、すぐに乗馬。川をわたったり、森の中を抜けたり、まさにアドベンチャーといった感じです。スイートオーコレーという名前のお馬さんでした。きちんと調教されているので、しっかりインストラクションを聞いておくということを聞いてくれます。8歳11歳の子供たちも楽しんでました。

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

Fully enjoying nature. 自然を大満喫

Reviewed by: yumei

This was my third horseback riding experience in Hawaii. I stayed in Waikoloa and met at the location, but I had no problems getting there using the navigation. The instructions were all in English, but just like on Oahu, important commands like "Don't eat grass!" were communicated in Japanese when the horses acted freely.

While enjoying the great nature of Waipi'o Valley, we crossed rivers and observed sweet potato fields, wild coffee, and avocado trees, which provided ample riding time. By the time I got off the horse, my knees were shaking (laughs).

My dog followed along during the ride, happily going into the grass and playing in the river, which was very cute. The weather was bad, and there was heavy rain on the way to the stables, so I was worried about whether we would go ahead despite the rain gear being available, but it stopped raining by the time we set off on the horses. I would have been completely satisfied if it hadn't rained!

ハワイでは三回目の乗馬でした。
ワイコロアに宿泊していて、現地集合でしたが、ナビを使い問題なく行く事ができました。説明は全部英語でしたが、オアフ島と変わりなく、馬が自由にした時は「草食べない!」など、大切な指示は日本語で伝えてくれました。
ワイピオ渓谷の大自然を眺めながら、川を渡ったり、イモ畑、野生のコーヒー、アボカドの木など観察しなから、十分な乗馬時間でした。
馬から降りた時には膝がガクガクになっていました(笑)
飼っている犬がずっと乗馬についてきて、楽しそうに草むらの中に入っていったり、川で遊んだり、とても可愛かったです。
天気が悪く、集合場所から馬舎に向かう時に大雨で、カッパの貸し出しはあっても決行するか不安でしたが、馬に乗って出発する時には雨が止みました。雨が降らなければ大満足でした!

Tour in the rain 雨の中のツアー

Reviewed by: たろう

As a beginner, I had some anxiety about riding, but since three assistants accompanied us, I was able to ride without any issues after just learning the commands for right, left, and stop before mounting. I think it's a course that beginners can enjoy thoroughly. Although it was a tour in the rain, I had a great time. As mentioned in the comments, the helmet and raincoat had a bit of a sweaty smell, so I wore my own hat under the helmet!

初心者で、馬に乗るのに若干の不安がありましたが、
私たちの時は3人のアシスタントが同行してくれたので、騎乗前に、右、左、止まる、の動作だけ教えてもらっただけで問題なく乗れました。
初心者は十分楽しめるコースだと思います。
雨の中のツアーとなりましたが、楽しめました。
コメントに書いてある通り、ヘルメットとレインコートは多少汗臭かかったので、自分の帽子の上からヘルメットかぶりました!

There were horses with various personalities. いろんな性格の馬がいました

Reviewed by: ももんが

As other reviews have mentioned, the helmet was very smelly (surprised).
The guide only speaks English, but he was friendly and attentive to everyone, helping us when we were in trouble, so the kids were able to enjoy horseback riding without anxiety.

You can bring a water bottle, as it can fit in the saddlebag for the horse, but there wasn't really time to drink, haha.

I had a wonderful experience.
I recommend it.

他の方の口コミ投稿通り、ヘルメットはとても臭かった(驚)
ガイドさんは英語しか話せませんが、フレンドリーで
みんなの様子をよく見ていてくれて困っていると助けてくれるので
子供も不安なく楽しく乗馬できていました。

お水のペットボトルなどは馬にかけるサドルバッグに入れられることができるので持っていくことは可能です。が、飲む余裕はなかったです笑

素晴らしい体験をすることができました。
おすすめです。
