Hawaii
There were no Japanese participants on this tour, but the instructor was very kind and made me feel at ease! The view from 6,000 feet above ground was breathtaking! From there, with a countdown of 3, 2, 1, we experienced a free fall for about 20 seconds. I briefly thought, "Oh, this is going to be dangerous," but after about 10 seconds, I got used to the free fall and did the "ebi-zori" position (the posture for free fall is like a shrimp). I truly had a valuable experience and felt it was worth it! However, I wouldn't recommend it for those with a fear of heights or who are not fond of roller coasters! (laughs)
今回のツアーに日本人はいませんでしたが、インストラクターの方が優しか教えて下さり安心することができました!
地上6000フィートの景色は圧巻の一言!
そこから3.2.1の掛け声と共にフリーフォール20秒ほど、『あ、これは◯んでしまうな』と一瞬思いましたが10秒ほどでフリーフォールにも慣れ〝エビゾリ〟しました!(フリーフォールの姿勢は海老反り)
本当に貴重な体験をすることができ、やって良かったなと思いました!
但し、高所恐怖症、ジェットコースターが苦手な人にはおすすめしません!笑
I participated in the beginner course with my 15-year-old son. I was torn between the intermediate and beginner courses, but we had a great time. Since I drove myself, I think this option is much better than the buggy.
息子(15歳)と初級コースに参加。中級と迷ったけど十分に楽しめました。
自分で運転するのでバギーよりも全然こちらだと思います。
I felt a sense of loneliness not being able to understand English and missing out on the jokes, but I was able to enjoy the thrill, excitement, and wonderful location. Thank you.
英語が分からず、ジョークで笑えない寂しさはありましたが、スリルや迫力、素晴らしいロケーションを楽しむことができました。ありがとうございます
We participated as a family of five. The staff were all very kind, and we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. The view from the top of the mountain was also amazing.
However, on that day, there were strong winds and sudden rain, making it extremely cold at times. If you're participating at the end of February when the weather looks bad, I definitely recommend bringing long pants and a light jacket. They start sliding down regardless of a little rain (laughs) (sweat).
家族5人で参加しました。
スタッフもみな親切で、安心して楽しめました。
山の上から見る景色も最高でした。
ただこの日は強風と突然の雨で途中めちゃくちゃ寒かったです。
2月末の参加で天気が悪そうなときは、必ず長ズボンと、薄手の羽織を持参することをお勧めします。
多少の雨でも構わず滑り始めるので(笑)(汗)
Your upper body will get dusty, but it's an incredibly exciting activity that more than makes up for it. Please challenge yourself in clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
上半身が砂埃で汚れますが、それを凌駕して余りある位エキサイティングなアクティビティです。
汚れても良い服装でチャレンジしてください。
I would definitely recommend this tour to families, our boys really enjoyed themselves.
This activity was great our guide was knowledgeable in all things from the horses themselves to the whales and turtles in the ocean! The horses were well mannered and well kept! And the ride was just long enough. We rode on and close to the beach with clear views of the ocean, whales breaching and turtles popping up! Our guide even did a photo shoot for us!
On the day of the event, I arrived at the meeting place just in time, but the staff quickly approached me, and I was able to check in without any issues. It seemed like there was plenty of time built into the schedule, so it didn't feel like I was late at all. The bus was spacious and comfortable, and I dozed off for a bit, only to find that we arrived in no time. Once we got to the location, the staff provided guidance to everyone, so there was no chance of getting lost. I had a horseback riding experience, and everyone was kind, explaining things slowly and thoroughly. Surprisingly, the horses seemed very experienced, and it felt like I was mostly being led by them. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the magnificent scenery of forests, mountains, and the ocean. I didn't include lunch in the plan, but there was a restaurant on-site, so I had no trouble finding food. The Kualoa Burger was very delicious.
当日は時間ギリギリに集合場所に着いてしまいましたが、スタッフがすぐ声をかけてくれて無事に受付ができました。
工程には余裕を持たせているようで、全然遅刻という感じでもありませんでした。
バスは広く乗り心地が快適で、うとうとしていたらあっという間に到着しました。
現地に着いてからは基本的にスタッフが全体に案内をするので特に迷うことはありませんでした。
乗馬体験をしましたが、皆さんゆっくり丁寧に説明してくれて親切でした。驚くことにお馬さんがみな大ベテランといった感じで、殆どリードしてもらっているような心地でした。おかげさまで森、山、海と壮大な景色を楽しめました。
プランに昼食は含めませんでしたが、現地にはレストランがあるので飲食には困りませんでした。
クアロアバーガーは大変美味しかったです。
While it may be a lack of research on my part, I would like to see a review of the tour promotion that prominently features nighttime photos of volcanic craters. It would be helpful to clearly inform participants that this is a tour where you generally won't see magma erupting from the volcano. Although it seems there is a note mentioning this, it only states that "it may not be visible," which gives the impression that it's a minor possibility. However, upon arriving at the site, it becomes clear that the chance of actually seeing it is quite rare and would be considered very lucky.
下調べ不足といえばそこまでだが、夜間の火山火口の写真を前面に出したツアー募集は見直して欲しい。基本的には火山からマグマが出るなんて見れないツアーということは通知しておいて欲しい。注意書きにその旨を書いているようだが、注意書きだけ見ると「見れない場合がある」程度の表記だか、現地に来ると「見れたら相当にラッキー」という確率の話。
This place was amazing we had so much fun. Thank you Mickey for awesome time. I would recommend going I would definitely got back again and again
I chose this place because I wanted to try something different from horseback riding last time. We rode for about two hours. The scenery was absolutely amazing, and the view of the ocean from the high ground was wonderful. Our guide, Maika, was very kind even though we couldn't speak English well. The horses were also very well-trained, allowing us to enjoy horseback riding with peace of mind. I'm grateful for that. I want to go again. Thank you. Aloha.
前回、乗馬と違う場所でしたくてこちらを選びました。2時間ぐらいかけて乗馬しました。景色がとても最高で高台から見える海も眺めれて素晴らしかったです。
ガイドのマイカは、私達が英語を話せなくても、とても優しかったです。
馬もすごく教育されていて安心して乗馬を楽しむことができました。感謝です。
また行きたいです。ありがとうございます。Aloha
This is my second time coming to Kualoa Ranch, and last time I participated in the movie location tour. It was also my first time riding a horse, so I was quite nervous. First, when riding, you need to wear long pants and shoes, and your bag should be something that can be secured around your waist like a fanny pack. Also, be aware that the horse may stop to eat grass or take breaks, so it's good to know how to handle that. The horseback riding lasts a full two hours, and you can enjoy the beautiful nature of Kualoa and the stunning ocean along the way, which is just amazing.
クアロアランチに来るのは2回目で、前回は映画ロケ地ツアーに参加しました。乗馬自体も初なのでドキドキでした。まず乗る時には長ズボンと靴、小さめのカバンなどはウェストポーチのように腰に巻きつけられるものでないといけないので注意。また馬が途中で草を食べたり、止まったりすることがあるので対処法を確認。乗馬は2時間たっぷりクアロアの自然や途中綺麗な海を眺めることもできて最高です。
The summit is over 3,000 meters and above the clouds. Beautiful constellations are clearly visible. The ability to access the summit by car is also a major attraction.
山頂は3,000メール超で雲の上です。美しい星座がくっくりと見えます。山頂まで車でアクセスできるのも、大きな魅力てす。
I participated because it said that horseback riding can be experienced from the age of 8. Even children can enjoy horseback riding, and they are very happy. Thank you! A cute dog also welcomes you! ❤️
8歳から乗馬が体験できると言う事で参加しました。子供でも楽しく乗馬が体験できて、大喜びです。ありがとうございましたかわいい犬もお出迎えしてくれますよ❤️
The shuttle bus includes participants from other countries, but they provide simple explanations in Japanese on board. Once we arrive at the location, they will explain the return meeting time and facility details in Japanese, so it's reassuring. After that, we stored our luggage in lockers and moved to each attraction booth individually. We chose the horseback riding course, so we headed there. This time, there were six people on the tour. After learning how to operate the horse through a simple Japanese video, we quickly got on the horses and started. We completely control the horse ourselves, but a guide is next to us, which is very reassuring. I don't think there are many opportunities to ride horses for two hours in Japan, so this is an amazing experience! My wife also said it was the most enjoyable part of our trip to Hawaii.
迎えのバスは他国からの参加者も混載ですが車内では簡単な日本語で説明してくれます。
現地に着くと日本語で帰りの集合時間や施設説明をしてくれるので安心です。
その後、ロッカーへ荷物を預けて各アトラクションのブースへ各自移動します。
我々は乗馬コースをチョイスしてたのでそちらへ。今回は6人のツアーでした。
馬の操作法を簡単な日本語ビデオで学んだら早速乗馬してスタートです。
馬を完全に自分で操るのですが、横にガイドさんがついてくれるので心強いです。
日本では2時間も乗馬する機会は無いと思うので最高に良い経験になります!!
家内も今回のハワイ旅で最も楽しかったと喜んでいました。
Neither my spouse nor I speak English, but the staff used a translation app to explain everything to us. Please prepare your passport as identification! A copy is also acceptable. They provide a drop-proof strap that can be fixed to your smartphone or camera.
Other helicopter tours had weight restrictions that prevented us from participating, but this tour has a limit based on the total weight of all participants, so even those who are a bit chubby can join. The 60-minute tour over Oahu offers great views and is thrilling without windows! On the way there, the left side seats have a good view of Honolulu's cityscape, while the right side overlooks the ocean.
We also flew over areas in the mountains where cars can't go, so I'm really glad we participated! The lack of hotel pick-up was a downside, but now with Uber, it's easy to use it for round trips.
I've participated in various activities, and if you're hesitating, I really recommend joining this one; it was fantastic!
夫婦共々英語出来ませんが、スタッフさんは翻訳アプリなど使って説明してくれました。
身分証明書はパスポート用意してね!コピーでもOK。
スマホやカメラに落下防止の本体固定式のストラップ付けてくれます。
他のヘリコプターツアーは体重制限があって参加できませんでしたが、このツアーは参加者全員の体重での制限なので、少々ポッチャリさんでも参加できます。
オアフ島60分のツアーで景色もよく窓なしでスリル満点です!
行きは左側の席がホノルルの街並みが良く見えます。右側は海になります。
車が行けない山の上所も飛ぶので、本当に参加してよかった!
ホテルまでの送迎がないのがネックでしたが、今はUVERもあるので、往復UVER利用すると楽です。
色々アクティビティ参加しましたが、悩んでる方いたら本当に良かったので参加してみて下さい。
You'll drive a buggy for a solid two hours. It was incredibly fun! While driving, there were times I got lost in the scenery, so it's better to stay fully focused on driving, haha. Also, since you'll get a lot of dust from the buggy in front of you, I recommend choosing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
ガッツリ2時間バギー運転します。
最高に楽しかった
運転中、景色に見入ってしまうこともあり運転には全集中したほうがいいです笑
また、前のバギーの砂埃がたくさんかかるので汚れ覚悟で服をチョイスすることをおすすめします。
The horseback riding experience at Kualoa was wonderful. Exploring the beautiful nature on horseback was a perfect opportunity to refresh both body and mind. With the guide's extensive knowledge, I was able to enjoy the scenery from a new perspective while having fun communicating with the horse.
クアロアでの乗馬体験は素晴らしかったです。美しい自然の中を馬に乗って探索することは、心身をリフレッシュさせる絶好の機会でした。ガイドの知識豊富な案内もあり、馬とのコミュニケーションを楽しみながら新たな視点で景色を楽しむことができました。
The ATV tour at North Shore Stables was so much fun. If you like getting off of the beaten path and experiencing a local spot to relax and have fun the make sure to book a tour here. The guides were excellent, friendly and I felt like they appreciated us being there. They gave us a little bit of history about the area we were in and what they are doing with the land. This was unexpected and added a bit of a personal touch to the tour. I thought 45 mins was going to be too short but at the end I realized it was perfect. Enough time to have fun, but not boring or grueling by the time we got back. All in all I would recommend this to anyone who likes to get out and see more of the local scene when in Oahu.
On my first trip to the Big Island, I was looking forward to the Mauna Kea summit sunset and stargazing. I knew it would be a full moon when I planned the trip, so my expectations were more focused on the sunset than the stars, and it did not disappoint—it was a breathtaking view. Our Japanese guide provided thorough explanations, making the drive to the summit enjoyable. Additionally, I appreciated being dropped off at the hotel instead of the designated drop-off point. The BLT sandwich for dinner was also very delicious.
初めてのハワイ島で、楽しみにしていたマウナケア山頂サンセット&星空観測。旅行を計画した時から満月なのはわかっていたので、星空よりサンセットへの期待が膨らんでいましたが、期待通りの絶景でした。日系のガイドさんが丁寧に色々説明していただき、山頂への車中も飽きることなく過ごせました。また、帰りは指定の降車場所でなくホテルまで送っていただき、ありがとうございました。夕食のBLTサンドもとても美味しくいただきました。
The purpose of going to the Big Island was to visit the summit of Mauna Kea, but I joined a tour based on the information that it would be better. The English-speaking guide was very kind and friendly, making it a fun experience. The weather was great, and I was able to encounter truly beautiful sights. I am grateful for the wonderful sunset. Regarding the starry sky, it was a full moon that day, so if there hadn't been a moon, we might have seen an even more amazing starry sky. However, the guide showed us the moon's surface through a telescope that clearly captured the craters, provided us with photos of the moon, and gave detailed explanations, allowing us to have a great time. Mauna Kea truly became a wonderful memory.
ハワイ島に行く目的はマウナケア山頂行くことが目的でしたが、ツアーに参加するほうが良いという情報で参加しました。イングリッシュガイドでしたが、
大変親切で、フレンドリーなガイドさんで楽しかったです。天候もよく、本当に良い光景にも巡り合うことができました。素晴らしいサンセットに感謝します。星空については、当日は満月でしたので、もし、月がなけれもっと素晴らしい星空が望めたかもしれません。しかし、ガイドさんが月のクレーターがばっちり写っている望遠鏡で月面を見せてくれたり、月の写真を提供いただいたり、詳しい説明をいただいたいたりして、よい時間を過ごせました。本当に良い思い出になるマウナケアでした。
As soon as the car departed, it started to rain. I didn't have a raincoat because it wasn't listed in the items to bring, and I ended up spending nearly two hours completely soaked. The car had no front windshield or side windows, so every time it moved, rain poured down from the ceiling like a waterfall.
Before I knew it, only the instructor was wearing a raincoat while we were drenched. The instructor continued the tour as if it were completely normal, but we were in no condition to enjoy it. Even though it started raining after we left, with that much rain, I think it would have been reasonable to ask, "Shall we turn back?" or to have prepared enough raincoats for all passengers from the start. (Since there were other customers on the tour, we couldn't just say we wanted to turn back.)
Alternatively, since the weather looked suspicious before departure, it would have been nice to have been asked at check-in, "Would you like to buy a raincoat?" The child sitting in the front seat became so cold that they stopped talking halfway through, and I thought they would catch a cold if we stayed on for another 30 minutes. After we returned, I didn't have a change of clothes, so I ended up buying an expensive T-shirt at the shop.
I think I would have enjoyed it if it hadn't rained, but from that point on, I just wished it would end quickly, enduring the rain without even getting off at the spots we stopped at. I truly had a very difficult two hours.
I believe it rains easily in the mountains. Even if it's sunny in Honolulu, it's better to bring a raincoat and a change of clothes. Please include this in the items to bring on the Veltra website. Thank you.
車が出発してすぐ雨が降り出しました。
持ち物の欄になかったのでレインコートを持っておらず、ずぶ濡れの状態で2時間近くを過ごすことになってしまいました。車はフロントガラスも横の窓もない形状だったために、動くたびに天井から滝のような雨が降ってきました。
気づけばインストラクターさんだけがレインコートを着ていて、私たちはずぶ濡れという状態‥。
インストラクターさんは当たり前のように通常通りツアーを進行していきますが、こちらはとてもじゃないけど、それどころじゃありませんでした。
出発した後の雨だったとしても、あれだけの雨なら「一度戻りましょうか?」と聞くとか、レインコートを最初から乗客分も用意してくれるとか、考えてくれても良いと思います。(ツアーは他のお客さんもいたため私たちだけ戻りたいとは言えませんでした)
もしくは出発前から雲行きが怪しかったので、受付の時に「レインコートを買いますか?」と一言欲しかったです。
前の席に座った子供は寒さのあまり途中からグッタリして喋らなくなり、このままあと30分乗っていたら風邪をひいてしまうと思いました。戻った後も着替えを持ってきていなかったので、売店で高いTシャツを買うことになりました。
雨が降らなければ楽しめたと思いますが、途中からはただひたすら早く終わってほしいと願い続け、途中で立ち寄るスポットでも降りることすらせず雨の中耐えました。
本当に本当に辛い2時間を過ごしました。
山の方は雨が降りやすいのだと思います。ホノルルが晴れていても、レインコートと着替えを持参した方が良いです。ベルトラの方でも持ち物に記載してください。お願いします。
I participated alone, but I was able to enjoy the experience of encouraging Boe (the horse's name) to graze and giving a little kick to speed up, all while feeling a sense of tension until the end. I was very happy to have this dream-like first experience of riding a horse through the great outdoors in my mid-60s.
1人での参加でしたが、草を喰むBoe(馬の名前)を促すことや腹を蹴っての少しの早足も緊張感と共に最後まで楽しく体験できました。60代半ばで大自然の中を馬に乗って闊歩するという憧れのような初体験ができたことがとても嬉しかったです。
Had a great time, and our tour guide was great. Calm water during the kayak, easy hike, and refreshing swim at the Secret Falls.
Aloha Brandon,
Since you did not mention a particular guide, will assume you are extolling all our guides.
Glad you enjoyed the river calm and the easy hike.
A swim in the pool below the falls is always electric.
Thanks for sharing.
Stay active and healthy.
A hui hou,
Micco/Head Guide
Initially, I had asked someone else to drive, but I was encouraged to drive myself. The controls were simple, and I was able to enjoy the immersive experience, which was great. Since we traveled on mostly unpaved roads, there was a lot of dust, and my clothes ended up completely white. It's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Being a filming location for Jurassic Park, the magnificent scenery was breathtaking.
当初運転は向こうの方にお願いしてたのだけど、勧められて自分が運転する事に。でも操作は簡単で臨場感を味わえたのでよかった。ほぼ舗装されてない道を行くので砂埃がすごく服は真っ白に。汚れてもいい服装がベスト。ジェラシックパークのロケ地とあって、雄大な景色に圧巻でした。
We participated in a four-wheeler buggy tour as a couple. The experience of driving through the majestic mountains of Hawaii is something you won't easily find elsewhere, and it's an activity I highly recommend for car enthusiasts.
夫婦で四輪バギーのラプターツアーに参加しました。
ハワイの神々しい山中の自然を車で走る体験はなかなか味わえないもので、車好きにはお勧めのアクティビティです。
The tour guide KAAKA was full of spirit and made it incredibly enjoyable! The scenery was beautiful, and they took a lot of photos for us!
添乗員のKAAKA?がサービス精神旺盛で最高に楽しめました!
景色もいいし、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました!
The raptor tour at the ranch and the guides where so much fun and would love to do it again.
The transportation is a while nother issue. We needed to be to the bus pick up by 815 to check in for our 830 departure. Was told at pick up no food or drinks on the bus so we thought we could eat when we got there.
Bus left at 830 and arrived at 920 where we where kept in the bus for another 10 plus min for no reason given to us. A bus that had no working bathroom. When released we where told we had to gather for a briefing and couldn't use the restroom or we'd miss it itinerary.
Spent another 10 min for everyone on the bus to get a paper with their activities printed on it. Then we where lead into the ranch and briefed on every actively before being turned loose with just enough time to go-to the bathroom and report for our your at 1015.
After the two hour tour (great time) we had barley enough time to wash and get back on the bus. We where hungry and wanted to eat and shop for souvenirs but instead had to wait till we got back to our hotel at 2pm
No eating 8am to 2pm
Would have spent at least another $100 on food and gifts if given the time. Would never take their transportation again. Find your own way!
The tour guides were great! Very informative and funny. We did get soaking wet due to the weather but man was it worth it! We had a great experience! We stopped a few time to take pictures and talk about the history. The guides were very informative. They also talked about different movies that were made there.Highly recommended!
I will provide information rather than impressions.
When boarding the bus, show your voucher (a display on your smartphone is acceptable). You won't be able to get off for over an hour until you arrive at the destination, so it's best to take care of any restroom needs beforehand. After arriving, you will wait at the top of the stairs right near the bus drop-off point (referred to as Building A from here on). You will also wait here for the return bus after the activity. If you have time before your return, you can purchase souvenirs and meals inside Building A to pass the time. You can also explore the surroundings until it's time to leave.
When it's time to go back, a staff member will come to check participants. You can show the paper mentioned below. A voucher might also be acceptable.
While waiting, your name will be called, and you will receive a paper with the schedule and other details. After that, everyone will move to the adjacent building (referred to as Building B from here on).
The guide will speak rapidly in English (for those who are not proficient in English, it may be too fast to understand; they are likely explaining the different destinations based on the plans).
In this plan, you will move to the building that is labeled for horseback riding (referred to as Building C from here on). It's just a 5-10 second walk right in front of you. Arriving about 10 minutes before the start time is fine. The start time will also be written on the paper you receive. You should be able to find Building C easily. If you are unsure of the location, you can catch the guide after they finish speaking and ask for directions. They will help you if you show your ticket and ask where to go.
The horseback riding experience lasts for two hours, and you will be riding continuously for that time. You won't be able to get off. If you have average physical fitness, it should be no problem, but it might be tough for elderly participants.
When it's time, you will move to Building C for check-in. Here, you will watch a training video, which is entirely in Japanese. The training video is quite short, just a few minutes long, and you might wonder if it's enough, but surprisingly, everyone managed just fine.
You will be provided with a free bag that can hold two sets of items approximately 25*20*5 cm, which can be attached to the horse. You will also borrow a helmet for free. Additionally, if you have a waist pouch, you can wear that. However, all shoulder bags are not allowed, and you will need to either put them in the provided bag or store them in a locker. I didn't use the locker, so I'm not entirely sure, but I believe there was one in Building B (located in the area opposite Building C). Shoulder straps attached to smartphones are also not allowed. If you want to take photos, you will need to take your phone out of the bag. This could lead to the risk of dropping it while taking pictures.
If you drop something, you might be able to ask the guide (who mainly speaks English) for help, but since you'll be riding, you won't be able to use a translation app. If you don't speak English, it may be difficult. Additionally, depending on the environment and situation, it might be quite challenging to search for lost items, so it's advisable to be careful while taking photos.
If the sun is strong, wearing short sleeves is recommended. It's fine if you don't, but bringing water is also a good idea. You can manage to drink while riding if you try.
After horseback riding, participants will not move freely but will line up and move together. The guide will also ride along and move with the group (going back and forth along the line). The horses generally remember the path and will follow the route automatically. However, they may go too fast, too slow, get close to bumping into each other, or stray slightly from the path, so some handling will be necessary.
感想ではなく情報を記載します。
行きのバス乗車時にVoucher(スマホからの表示でOK)を見せます。
現地到着まで1時間以上降りられないのでトイレなどは済ませていたほうが良いです。
現地到着後、バス降り場からすぐの階段を登った場所で一旦待ちます。(以降建物Aと記載)
尚、アクティビティ終了後の帰りのバスもここで待ちます。帰るまでに時間がある場合、建物Aの中でお土産と食事を購入できるので、それで時間を潰すことになります。帰りの時間まで周りの散策などもできます。
帰りは時間になると係の人が来て参加者の確認を行います。下記記載の紙を見せればOKです。Voucherでもいいかも?
待っていると、名前が呼ばれ予定等が記載された紙を貰えます。
その後、隣の建物(以降建物Bと記載)にみんなで移動します。
案内の人が英語でガーッと何か喋ります。(英語が苦手な人は速すぎてまったく聞き取れません、多分プランごとに行き場が分かれるのでその説明をしているのかと)
このプランではhorseback(だったはず)と書いてある建物(以降建物Cと記載)に移動することになります。徒歩5~10秒位の眼の前の建物です。
プランの開始時間の10分位前に行けばOKです。開始時間は上記で貰える紙にも書いてあります。建物Cは見回せば見つかると思います。
場所がわからない場合は案内の人が喋り終わったあとに捕まえて確認してください。チケット見せてどこ行けばいいか聞けば教えてくれます。
乗馬体験2時間とありますが。本当にぶっ続けで2時間のります。降りれません。一般的な体力があれば全く問題はありませんがお年寄りだとつらいかも。
時間になったら建物Cに移動し受付を行います。
ここで教習のビデオを見ます。全て日本語です。
教習は数分程度のビデオになります。本当にこれだけでいいのか?と思うほど短いですが意外とみんななんとかなっていました。
乗馬中に持っていける荷物(片手で難しいが乗馬中に取り出すことも可能)は、だいたい25*20*5が2つ、1セットになった馬にセットできるバックを無料で貸してくれます。(ヘルメットも借ります、無料です)
それとは別にウェストポーチであれば別途装備していけます。肩がけタイプは全てNGで上記の貸出バックの中に入れるか、ロッカーにしまっていくことになります。ロッカーは使用しなかったので正確ではないですが、たしか建物Bにあったはずです。(建物Bから見て、建物Cの逆側のエリアにあったはず)
スマホなどの紐付き肩がけもNGです。撮影する場合はバックから取り出して行います。その為、撮影時落とす可能性があり怖いです。
落とした場合は一緒に馬で移動してくれるガイドさん(ほぼ英語のみ)にお願いすれば可能かもしれませんが、乗馬しながらになるので翻訳アプリ等は使えないです。英語ができない場合は多分無理です。
また、環境、状況的に探すのがかなり困難な場合があります、会話ができてもダメな可能性があります。撮影時は気をつけたほうがよいです。
日差しが強い場合は半袖がよいです。無くても大丈夫ですが水を持っていくのもよいです。頑張れば乗馬しながら飲めます。
乗馬後はフリーに移動するのではなく参加者全員で1列になって移動します。ガイドの人も馬にのって一緒に移動(列全体を行ったり来たり)します。馬自体がほぼ道を覚えていて、自動的にルートを移動してくれる感じです。先頭以外の馬も基本的には前の馬を追尾します。といっても早く行き過ぎる、もしくは遅い、前にぶつかりそうになる、少し道をそれるなど完璧ではないので、ある程度の操作が必要となります。
