Of course, the main focus is horseback riding, but we really do a lot of different activities. It's packed with experiences. We visited the Hitachi Tree, Dole Plantation, saw the honu at North Shore, enjoyed lunch (everyone's favorite, garlic shrimp♪), and then horseback riding. To top it off, our guide kindly recommended a coffee shop!
We were blessed with wonderful weather that day, making it truly a fantastic day.
I am really a beginner at horseback riding; the only experience I have is riding a pony for about five minutes when I was a child. Despite that, this time I suddenly found myself riding a polo horse! Moreover, Happy Trails is a prestigious ranch that even President Obama has visited! It made me think, "Maybe the horse I rode was the same one President Obama rode!" (It was a small mare, so it definitely wasn't, but it made me smile.)
I asked a Japanese couple who joined the same tour (they were quite experienced in horseback riding) and they said, "It's rare to ride a polo horse in Japan, so you can brag about this!" It was truly a valuable experience.
However! As a complete beginner, we started riding for an hour and a half with only verbal instructions! Plus, the path was muddy from the rain the day before... I really thought I might fall off! My friend and I were super nervous, but the polo horses were amazing, following our clumsy commands perfectly for the full hour and a half. Thank you, horses.
The staff at the ranch were also really friendly and it was a lot of fun. Next time, I'm interested in beach horseback riding, but I can't help but think that Happy Trails is still the best!
もちろんメインは乗馬ですが、本当に色々回ります。盛りだくさんです。
日立の木、ドールプランテーション、ノースショアでのホヌの見学&ランチ(みんな大好きガーリックシュリンプ♪)、そして乗馬、最後にはガイドさんのご好意でおすすめコーヒーショップ!
この日は、お天気にも恵まれ本当に素晴らしい1日でした。
乗馬は本当に初心者、子供の時に一度ポニーに5分くらい乗ったことぐらいしかありません。
それなのに、今回はいきなりポロの馬を乗ることに!その上、ハッピートレイルはなんとあのオバマ大統領も来たことがあるという由諸正しい牧場!もしかしたら、私の乗った馬がオバマ大統領の乗った馬かも!!!(小さい牝馬だったので、絶対に違うけど)と思わせてくれます。笑
同じツアーに参加された日本人の御夫婦(こちらの方は乗馬に精通していらっしゃいました)に伺ったところ、「日本でポロの馬に乗れることなど滅多にないから自慢できるよ!」のことで本当に貴重な体験でした。
が!まったくの初心者なのに口頭での説明のみで、いきなり1時間半の乗馬スタート!笑
その上、前日の雨で道はぐちゃぐちゃ・・・落馬するんじゃないか?!と本当に思いました。
私も友人もめっちゃくちゃ焦りましたが、さすがポロのお馬さん、私達のつたない指示にもきちんと従い、1時間半きっちり乗せてくれました。ありがとう、お馬さん。
牧場の方も本当にフレンドリーで楽しかったです。
次回は、ビーチの乗馬にも興味ありますが、やっぱりハッピートレイルが良いなあなんて、思ってしまいます。

Until now, Hawaii has been centered around the ocean, and I have felt its wonderfulness. This time, I decided to see it from the sky and challenged myself to skydiving. I might have closed my eyes when I jumped out? The 60 seconds of free fall from 4,000 meters was perfect, and I could see that corner of the North Shore. After the parachute opened, I was posing for the camera, all of them looked the same (laughs). I was deeply moved by the photo of myself reflected against the round horizon. Tandem master Mark put on an amazing show for the five minutes. Thank you!!
今までのハワイは海が中心で、その素晴らしさを感じていが。今回はフッと空から見ようと思い立ち、スカイダイブにチャレンジ。飛び出しは目をつぶったかも? 4000メートルから60秒のフリーフォールはバッチリ、ノースショアのあの角が見えた。パラシュートが開いてからは、カメラ目線、どれも同じ(笑)。丸く見える水平線に写り込む写真の自分に大感動。タンデムマスターマークが5分間のショーを最高に演出してくれました。Thank you!!

My 17-year-old grandson and his girlfriend rode the ATV's and very much enjoyed it. I felt the equipment could have been in better maintained condition as well as the helmet selection was a bit limited. I would also suggest that the ranch consider offering the side-by-side UTV's as an alternative as they drive more like a car for those who might not be comfortable on an ATV and can carry a second passenger.

I participated in a morning dolphin snorkeling tour and then joined the Mauna Kea summit tour. Despite the tight schedule for pickup, they made sure we arrived on time. The beauty of the sunset from 4,200 meters is unforgettable. Even with the half-moon's light, I was able to see the winter diamond stars clearly. More than that, our guide, Ha, provided exceptional service. The convenient information about the Big Island was incredibly helpful for my future travels. They took many photos of us in various poses, and I think it's a wonderful service that the photos can be downloaded for free. Even though I had an upset stomach, I recovered with a delicious Japanese bento. On the way back, they kindly stopped at a supermarket, thinking I might need a late-night snack. Thank you very much. If I have the chance to go to the Big Island again, I would love to join the Mauna Kea summit tour once more, preferably on a new moon day.
午前中ドルフィンシュノーケルツアーに参加し、マウナケア山頂ツアーにはしごさせていただきました。

It was my first time skydiving. Starting from 14,000 feet is recommended as it seems to be the highest point for tandem skydiving. The instructors are all foreigners, but the precautions and things to do in the air are simple, so there were no particular issues.

I wanted to see the sunset and starry sky from the summit of Mauna Kea to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday, but all the sunset tours were fully booked. Just when I was about to give up, I found this site offering a starry sky and sunrise tour, and only Masashi Nature School had availability, so I joined immediately. With guidance from Masashi, who is not the president, we had a clear explanation of the starry sky using a laser pointer at the Onizuka Visitor Center, and we were able to see Saturn through a telescope (we could see the rings!). I was thrilled because my own camera couldn't capture the stars. The starry sky is truly beautiful—it's so stunning that words and photos can't do it justice. After enjoying warm drinks and sandwiches, we all climbed a nearby hill to watch the sunrise. I was moved by the sunrise emerging from the white sea of clouds. Although the road to the summit of Mauna Kea was closed due to snow, I was able to see the snow-covered Mauna Kea from the hill, which became a wonderful memory. For cold weather preparation, they provided thick jackets, pants, gloves, and hats, but since I'm sensitive to the cold, I wore two layers of Heattech, a fleece, a down jacket, a jumper, leggings, ski socks, and pants, which was just right. I was worried about altitude sickness, but thanks to Masashi's thoughtful care, we all had no issues, as we stopped to see the stars along the way and were allowed to take a nap near the visitor center. A person from the OP tour company who sat next to me on the flight from the Big Island to Honolulu mentioned that the sunset tour is also great, so I would like to participate in the sunset and starry sky tour next time.
母の還暦祝でマウナケア山頂からの夕日&星空が見たかったのですが、夕日のツアーはどこも一杯で取れず諦めていたらこちらのサイトで星空&朝日のツアーが、しかもマサシネイチャスクールさんだけ空いており即参加。社長さんではない方のマサシさんの案内でオニヅカビジターセンター側でレーザーポインターを用いて分かりやすい星空の説明と望遠鏡を使って土星(輪が見えました!)を見せて頂いたり、写真を撮って頂きました。持参したカメラでは星空が取れなかったので嬉しかったです☆星空は本当に綺麗です。写真や言葉では表現出来ないくらい綺麗です。温かい飲み物とサンドウィッチを頂いた後、近くの丘に全員で登り朝日を見ることが出来ました。白い雲海から出てくる朝日に感動しました。マウナケアは積雪でロードがクローズしており山頂からの朝日は見れませんでしたが、丘から雪で真っ白なマウナケアも見る事が出来たのでそれはそれで良い思い出になりました。防寒対策ですが、分厚い上着とズボン、手袋や帽子まで貸して頂けますが、寒がりなので中にヒートテック2枚、フリース、ダウン、ジャンバー、スパッツ、スキー用靴下、ズボンをはいて丁度良いくらいでした。心配していた高山病も途中車を降りて星空を見せて頂いたり、ビジターセンター近くまでは仮眠させて下さったりとマサシさんの気配りで全員問題ありませんでした。ハワイ島からホノルルまでの飛行機で席が隣だったOPツアー会社の方が夕日ツアーも良いと話されていたので次回は夕日&星空ツアーに参加したいと思います。

The summit was closed due to strong winds, so we did the sunset and stargazing at the Onizuka Visitor Center. However, I was very satisfied. Our guide, Matsuzaki, was great. He mentioned that he studied hard for this tour, focusing on constellations and photography. While it's expected for a guide to study constellations, his photography skills were a huge help. He took a two-shot photo of my wife and me with Orion in the background and uploaded it online. My friend, who had climbed to the summit the day before, was really envious of this service. It seemed that his guide only provided standard explanations. The sunset photo I posted was also taken with a small digital camera, and I learned how to shoot in backlight conditions.

The admired Subaru Observatory, with the sunset sinking into the sea of clouds and the starry sky, was wonderful. I hadn't considered the moon phase, so the moon was dazzling, but it looked beautiful in a different way than usual.
Along the way, we combined with another group, and two drivers/guides prepared and explained everything, allowing us to spend our time efficiently.
The miso soup we had at the Onizuka Center was unexpectedly served in a bowl, but it was delicious. On the way back from the Big Island, I visited the Onizuka Museum next to the airport, as recommended. Thank you, Ha-kun!!
The deciding factor for this tour was that I couldn't find any other organizer that offered transportation to my hotel, but I am satisfied with the content, the guide, and the lunch.

One of the things I wanted to experience at least once before I die was skydiving. I had planned to do it with friends, but right before making the reservation, one of them suddenly said they had a fear of heights, so I ended up going alone. To be honest, I was feeling a bit reckless and thought, "If I die doing this, so be it!" and decided to go for it. After actually trying it, I can say that skydiving is amazing!! The instructor was really upbeat and full of spirit. As the last one to jump, instead of falling towards the clear blue sky like everyone else, I was plummeting straight down towards the clouds. Whoa!! I crashed into the clouds! Except for the harness and the part connecting me to the instructor or parachute, I was completely soaked. I was wearing shorts, so my thighs were drenched. It was a bit embarrassing, like I had wet myself, but it seemed to dry a little while I was descending. Thanks to the enthusiastic instructor, after the parachute opened, we were swinging wildly left and right. If someone has a weak vestibular system, they would definitely be throwing up! But it was fun. I'm glad my first time was here!! Regarding the price, I happened to talk to another person who came alone, and they mentioned that if you book on-site, it costs about 1.5 times more for the same altitude jump.
Overall, it was the best experience! I want to do it again!!
自分の中で死ぬまでに一度くらい体験しておきたいことの一つにそれがありました。他の友達と一緒にやろうって言ってたけど、予約直前に高所恐怖症とか言い出すもんだから一人で参加しました。死ぬまでにつーか、ぶっちゃけ、少々自暴自棄だったこともあってこれで死んだらそれでも構わんわい!とか思って挑戦しました。やっぱ、やってみたらスカイダイビング最高だわ!!インストラクターのノリが良くてサービス精神旺盛だったのか、何か一番最後に飛ぶ俺は、他の人たちが落ちていってる雲の無い青空の方ではなく、真っ逆さまに雲目掛けて落ちてる。ぉぃぉぃぉぃぉいおいおいおい、わぁー!!って雲に突っ込んだ!ハーネス?インストラクターかパラシュートかと繋がってる紐の部分を除いてほぼ全てがびしょびしょ。ハーフパンツを履いていて主にふとももあたりがびっしょり。お漏らししたみたいで恥ずかしかったけど、降りてる間にすこーし乾いていたみたい。他にもとにかくサービス精神旺盛なインストラクターのおかげでパラシュート開いた後に、右へ左へエラい振り回すのな。三半規管の弱い人なら確実に吐いてるレベルでしたわ。でも楽しかった。生まれて初めてがここで良かった!!料金についても、たまたま他に一人で来てた人と話をしてたら、現地で予約したら同じ高度から降りるのに1.5倍くらい高い値段で申し込んだって言ってた。
とにかく最高でしたわ。またやりたい!!

Good organization but a rather long ride to the top. Stargazing was only so-so. I expected that we would see the stars through one of the observatories located at that top but instead, about 20 of us took turns looking through a kids reflective telescope. Not very exciting. Air is rare up there so be prepared for the possibility of altitude sickness.

I was delighted with the experience I had with this company that allow me to have my first jump ever not only safe and sound, but really enjoying every minute of it. After pick up at the hotel, we had aprox an hour drive to the airfield in North Shore.
After a safety video, my wife and I fortunately didn't have to wait that long to go to meet our instructors and cameraman (I remember that Colorado and Rob were mine respectively). They gave us a briefing on what to do during our jump and answer any questions, and we were ready to go.
We made the ultimate jump, and we were thrilled. The views of the island and the adrenaline you have during the jump are breathtaking.
Our instructors were very professional and made the best they could to give us a great experience and land safely (specially considering that there were some difficult winds during that morning).
I'd recommend anyone to do this jump with this company.

I participated in this tour with my mother. We were looking forward to horseback riding and garlic shrimp in Haleiwa Town. We visited the "This Tree, What Tree" Moanalua Gardens and Dole Plantation, and then had free time in Haleiwa Town, which we were excited about. I had heard that there were frozen garlic shrimp, but I really wanted to try the fresh garlic shrimp. After researching beforehand, I found that Giovanni's or Macky's looked delicious, so I asked the tour guide which one to choose, and it turns out only Macky's has fresh shrimp, so I was glad I asked! It was very delicious! Macky's is located a bit far from the meeting point, and since we only had an hour of free time, I thought we might just have time for lunch, but everyone wanted to go to Macky's, so they kindly took us there. I was happy they were flexible in accommodating us. After eating, they took us back to the meeting point, and we were able to stroll around Haleiwa Town a little. However, I think if we had a bit more time, we could have visited more shops.
The seaside horseback riding was very enjoyable with a nice breeze. The tour guide provided proper English explanations for the horseback riding, so I was able to experience it without any worries. There was a short steep slope along the way that was a bit scary when we had to trot, but as long as you hold on properly, there were no problems. My 59-year-old mother was a little anxious during her second horseback ride, but I think she enjoyed it.
At the very end of the horseback riding, it suddenly started to rain heavily, which made the final photo opportunity and farewell to the horses a bit rushed, which was unfortunate. But the horseback riding was fun and very satisfying. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't stop at the sea turtle beach due to the heavy rain.
The tour guide provided detailed explanations and shared various stories, so the travel was never boring. The views from the North Shore were amazing! Participating in this tour created wonderful memories of Hawaii!

乗馬とハレイワタウンでのガーリックシュリンプを楽しみにこのツアーに参加しました。
この木なんの木のモアナルアガーデン、ドールプランテーションに寄り、楽しみにしていたハレイワタウンでの自由時間です。冷凍エビのガーリックシュリンプもあると聞いていたので、是非生のエビのガーリックシュリンプが食べたいと思っていました。事前に調べていったところ、ジョバンニかマッキーズが美味しそうだったので、どちらにしようか添乗員さんに聞いたところマッキーズだけ生のエビらしいので、聞いてよかった~!です。とっても美味しくいただけました!マッキーズは集合場所から離れたところにあるので、自由時間は一時間なので昼食だけで終わっちゃうかなと思っていましたが、参加者全員マッキーズに行きたいとのことで、そこまで送っていただけました。臨機応変に対応して下さってうれしかったです。食後にはまた集合場所まで連れて行ってくれて、ハレイワタウンを少し散策できました。でももう少し時間があったらもっといろんなお店にいけたかなと思います。
海辺乗馬は風が気持ちよくとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
英語での乗馬の説明も添乗員さんがちゃんと通訳してくれて何の不安もなく体験できました。
途中急な短い坂道が一か所あるのですが、小走りになってちょっと怖いところがありますが、ちゃんと摑まっていれば何の問題ありませんでした。二回目の乗馬で59歳の母が少し不安がっていましたが、楽しめていたと思います。
乗馬の最後の最後に強めの雨が急に降ってきて、最後の記念撮影や、馬とのお別れがささっとなってしまったのが残念でした。でも乗馬は楽しく大満足です。
その後のウミガメのビーチには大雨で寄ることができなかったのは少し残念です。
添乗員さんは詳しい説明や、色々な話をしてくださり、移動は退屈することはありませんでした。ノースショアの車窓からの景色は最高でした!
このツアーに参加して楽しいハワイの思い出ができました!

We had a great guide Jim. His knowledge of Hawaiian history, plants and wildlife was great. When we were at the Summit with the large world telescope buildings and when we did the viewing of the stars he was excellent there as well.
Highly Recommend this tour.

This was my 4th adventure with Waipio on Horseback, and as always, the guides / handlers and the horses were the best! Despite the frequent rains in Waipio Valley, the horses are in wonderful condition and well matched by the guides based on the skill of the rider from novice through advanced rider. The horses and the valley make for a great adventure and enjoyment in a very special environment.

We participated as a group of four: my 10-year-old son, my 65-year-old mother, my husband, and myself. We chose this plan based on my mother's wish to go horseback riding, but my son ended up completely falling in love with it and didn't want to get off the horse, saying he wanted to go around again. The 90-minute ride through the mountains, with ups and downs, was very enjoyable, and the horses were very well-behaved. If we go to Hawaii again, we will definitely participate again.
10歳の息子と65歳の母と私たち夫婦の4人で参加しました。
乗馬がしたいという母の希望でこのプランを選びましたが、息子がすっかり乗馬にはまってしまい、馬から降りるのが嫌だ、もう一周行きたいと言い出した程です。
山の中を登りあり下りありの90分、馬たちはとてもおりこうでとても楽しかったです。
またハワイに行くことがあれな次回もぜひ参加させていただきます。

It was a shared trip with six people. I was the only Japanese; the others were one Canadian man, two American men, and a couple. The crew consisted of a captain and one other person, for a total of two.
We set sail at 6 AM and spent the first hour or so fishing for bait off Waikiki. We used a fish finder to track schools of fish and fished with sabiki rigs. It didn't go very well, but we managed to catch seven or eight decent-sized mackerel. The bait was prepared in advance and kept in the refrigerator.
After that, we headed further out to sea, setting up our rods and waiting patiently for big catches. There were hardly any bites in the morning, but after moving to a location from the south to the west of Oahu, we started to get some action. That day, we caught two mahi-mahi and two spear fish.
The excitement when a fish was hooked and the joy of reeling it in became a lifelong memory. The crew was kind and nice guys. However, for those who don't understand English, participating alone might be tough. I think it's better to join with multiple people or charter a group. The waves were quite high, but perhaps because I was enjoying the view from the second deck, I didn't experience seasickness. By the way, none of the other participants seemed to get seasick either.
6人の乗り合いでした。日本人は私だけ。他はカナダ人のおじさん1人、アメリカ人のおじさん2人、夫婦1組。クルーはキャプテンともう1人の計2人。
6時に出航して最初の1時間くらいはワイキキ沖でベイト釣り。探知機で魚群を追い回してサビキで釣ります。あまりうまく行きませんでしたが、尺アジを7,8匹確保。一応ベイトはあらかじめ冷蔵庫に準備されてました。
その後はさらに沖に出ながらロッドをセットして大物がかかるのをひたすら待つ。午前中はあたりもほとんどなかったのですが、場所をオアフの南から西の方面へ移動してからあたりが出始め、この日はマヒマヒ2匹、スピアフィッシュ2匹の釣果でした。
かかったときの興奮と釣り上げたときの感動は、一生の思い出になりました。
クルーは親切でナイスガイでした。ただ英語がわからない人は、1人で参加するのはきついかもしれません。複数人で参加するかグループでチャーターする方がいいと思います。波は結構高かったですが、2階のデッキで景色を眺めたりしていたからか、船酔いはありませんでした。ちなみに他の参加者にも船酔いはいませんでした。

I experienced this with my 10-year-old daughter and her friend during Christmas. This was my third time horseback riding in Hawaii, and the scenery, the horses, and the trainers were all amazing! I don't think there's any other horseback riding experience like this, walking along the beach!
クリスマスに10歳の娘と娘の友達と体験しました。
ハワイで乗馬は3度目ですが景色といい、馬といい、そしてトレーナーの方も最高でした!
海辺を散歩する、こんな乗馬は他には無いのでは??

Famous from the commercials, we headed to Moanalua Garden and then to Dole Plantation. I was looking forward to lunch, enjoying garlic shrimp with flavors that appeal to Japanese tastes. One of the highlights this time was horseback riding along the beach at Turtle Bay Resort. While watching people surfing, I enjoyed a leisurely ride, listening to the chirping of birds in the forest—such a blissful time. We also encountered a large sea turtle at Laniakea Beach (we stayed within 3 meters of the turtle). It was a tour that made me feel the greatness of nature. Our guide was also fun and full of interesting topics, leaving no time for family squabbles.
CMで有名なモアナルアガーデン〜ドールプランテーションへ。 楽しみな昼食、ガーリックシュリンプ(エビ)日本人好みの味つけ。 今回の楽しみな一つ、タートルベイリゾート内の海辺乗馬、サーフィンされている方を横目に並足乗馬、小鳥の囀りを聞きながら森林乗馬、至福の時間でした。そしてラニアケアビーチで大きな海亀と遭遇(亀とは3㍍以内近付かない)大自然の凄さを感じたツアーでした。 ガイドさんも楽しく話題豊富で親子喧嘩の暇なしでした。

It was a sensation I had never experienced before. 14,000 feet was higher than I imagined, and I could see all of the North Shore, Ko Olina Resort, and Diamond Head too! The moment I jumped was scary, but once I was out, I was able to enjoy the best views and speed. Thank you very much!
今までに経験をしたことがない快感でした。想像以上に14000フィートが高く、ノースシュアが全部見えるし、コオリナリゾートも見えたし、ダイアモンドヘッドも!!
飛び出す瞬間は怖かったけど、飛び出しちゃえば最高の景色とスピード味わう事が出来ました。ありがとうござますm(_ _)m。

It was the first time for me to go fishing and I think it was a nice experience for me though I felt dizzy on the boat.
