The North Shore was amazing, and as expected for a championship event, the huge waves were impressive. I even encountered a sea turtle while paddleboarding. It was a great tour.
初ノースショア、さすがチャンピオン大会が開催されるだけありもの凄い大波に感動。SUP中にウミガメにも遭遇。良いツアーでした。

It was raining at the start, so I got completely soaked. It stopped right away, but I think it's better to bring a change of clothes. The horses are used to carrying people, so they walk without disturbing the line too much, even without any intervention. Occasionally, they might stray from the line, but if you pull on the reins, they quickly return to their place. Since I wasn't used to it, my backside was incredibly sore. Still, the two-hour activity flew by. If I have the chance, I would like my grandchildren to experience it as well.
スタート時は雨が降っていたのでびしょびしょになりました。
直ぐに止みましたが、着替えは持っていた方が良いと思います。
お馬さんは何度も人を乗せて歩いているので何もしなくても有る程度列を乱すことなく歩いてくれます。たまに列から乱れることも有りますが、手綱を引っ張ったりすると直ぐにもとに戻ってくれました。
慣れていないのでお尻がものすごく痛かったです。
それでも2時間のアクティビティーはあっという間に終わりました。
機会が有れば、孫にも体験させたいと思いました。

Since I had never ridden a horse in Japan before, I prepared by watching videos on how to ride and referring to others' experiences.
Points to be careful about:
- A waist bag is fine, but no matter how small, shoulder bags are not allowed (there's a risk of getting caught while passing through trees), so you must use a locker for $5 a day.
- You can attach a small pouch with two pockets to the saddle for drinks and your phone. You can take photos with one hand while riding.
- There are courses for the sea, mountains, and movies, but the sea is just a view from the mountains and you won't be walking on a beach. The movie course doesn't include famous spots like the fallen trees from Jurassic Park, so most of the ride is through the mountains. (That said, the open plains have beautiful scenery...) If you're not someone whose main goal is to ride for a long time, you might be disappointed.
- As for compatibility with the horse? Generally, the horse walks on its own without needing commands, but the horse I rode often stopped, and even when I kicked to signal it to start, it didn't move much, leaving a gap with the others, which made me anxious. It’s suitable for beginners since there’s no running, but experienced riders might find it lacking.
Unexpectedly good points:
- The famous hamburger at Kualoa was surprisingly delicious. The classic burger has two patties, lettuce, tomato, and cheese without any sauce, allowing you to enjoy the natural flavor of the beef, making it the best hamburger I had during my trip to Hawaii. The fries that came with it were not greasy and tasty; it was a bit too much for one person but might be insufficient for two.
- On a day with unstable weather, there was information at check-in that ponchos were available for $7 for those who were worried. Since the rain stopped while we were waiting, I didn't buy one, but riders could borrow a rubber poncho along with helmets and pouches at check-in. It was very helpful when it rained during the ride.
- Some reviews mentioned long waiting times, but we found interesting rooms that explained the history of Kualoa Ranch and photo-worthy spots, so we didn't get bored and the waiting time felt just right. (Riding was from 11:30 to 15:45)
Having watched Jurassic Park beforehand and expecting to see those locations, I was a bit disappointed with the route, but I had fun being able to ride for a long time by myself, which is something you can only experience in Japan by walking for about 10 minutes with the reins pulled. If I have the chance next time, I would like to join the Jurassic Adventure Tour that visits the sets of Jurassic Park.
日本でも乗馬したことがなかったので、事前に乗り方を動画で見る他、他の方の体験談を参考に準備していきました。
気をつける点
・腰に巻くタイプのバッグなら大丈夫ですが、荷物はどんなに小さくてもショルダーバッグはダメ(木々の間を抜けるため引っかかる危険があるため)で、1日5$のロッカーに入れなくてはなりません。
・馬の鞍にポケットが2つ付いた小物入れを設置でき、飲み物や携帯を入れることができます。携帯は乗馬中に片手でなら撮影可能です。
・海・山・映画コースとありますが、海は山から海が見える程度で砂浜とかを歩く訳でもなく、映画も有名なジュラシックパークの倒木の場所などでもないため、ほとんどが山の中を歩きます。(とはいえ拓けた平原などはキレイな景色ですが…)あくまでも長時間乗馬をすることが目的の人じゃないとガッカリするかもしれません。
・馬との相性?なのか基本的には指示しなくても勝手に歩いてくれますが、私の乗った馬は途中で止まってしまうことが多く、お腹を蹴るスタートの合図をしても中々進んでくれず前の方と間が空いてしまうことが多く焦りました。走ることはないため、初心者には向いていますが経験者には物足りないと感じるかもしれません。
予想外に良かった点
・クアロアで有名なハンバーガーは予想以上に美味しかったです。クラシックバーガーはパテ2枚・レタス・トマト・チーズのみでソースがかかっていないため、牛本来の味が楽しめハワイ旅行で1番美味しかったハンバーガーとなりました。付け合せで付いているポテトも油っこくなく美味しく、1人では多いけど2人だと物足りないかな?くらいの量でした。
・天気が不安定な日で、チェックイン時に不安な人は7$でポンチョが売っているとの案内がありました。待機中に雨が止んだため買わなかったのですが、乗馬の人は受付時にヘルメット・小物入れの他にゴム製のポンチョを借りることが出来ました。乗馬中に降られたのでとても助かりました。
・待機時間が長いとの感想がありましたが、お土産屋さんのほかにもクアロアランチの歴史がわかるお部屋があったり写真映えするポイントがあったりと、私たちは退屈することなくちょうどいいくらいの待機時間でした。(乗馬11:30~、帰り15:45)
事前にジュラシックパークを見てここに行くんだと期待してしまったため、ルートには少しガッカリしましたが、日本では手綱を引かれて10分歩く位しか体験出来ない所を自分1人で長時間乗馬することができて楽しかったです。次回があればジュラシックアドベンチャーツアーというジュラシックパークのセットを巡るツアーに参加したいと思いました。

Perhaps my expectations or image were too strong. Riding for two hours can honestly get boring, but it is a good experience.
If it's your first time in Hawaii, I can recommend it, but it does take quite a bit of time, so it might be a lower priority.
おそらく、要望と言うかイメージが強すぎた
乗馬2時間は正直飽きるが、いい経験にはなる
初めてのハワイならお勧めできるが

We headed to Kualoa Ranch while picking up participants from each hotel. Upon arrival, there was an explanation in Japanese, which was easy to understand. By the way, the explanation while riding is in English. The two-hour ride through the vast grounds, with its ups and downs, offered beautiful views from high places. Since you stay on the horse the whole time, it might feel a bit long if it's your first time riding. They took photos for us as a service. I would like to visit again the next time I go to Hawaii.
各ホテルで参加者をピックアップしながらクアロアランチへ向かいました。
到着後すぐに日本語での説明があり、分かり易かったです。
ちなみに乗馬しながら聞く説明は英語です。
広大な敷地をアップダウンしながらの2時間。高い場所から見る景色はとても美しかったです。
ずっと乗ったままなのでこれが人生初の乗馬であった場合、少々長く感じるかもしれません。
サービスで写真を撮っていただきました。

Overall, excellent experience. The show was awesome showing the traditional style of dances and performances of the Hawaiian culture. The buffet itself had many selections to choose and eat. The most highlight of the show was the HA breath of life where it was the fire rings twisted by several different men on the show which was pretty cool. We also did the islands of Polynesia 2 hour guided tour where we sat down and peeled bananas and coconut looking like materials with the dressed up villagers on site.

There was a shuttle service to Hilton Hawaiian Village, so no worries about getting there. The driver was funny and had high energy even in the early morning!
It was the rainy season, so there was heavy rain at the location.
However, they explored possibilities until the last minute, provided explanations along the way, and even though we waited for a few hours, we got to eat.
We upgraded to a photo package on-site. In the end, it turned out well.
Although it says English is essential, there were many Japanese guests at the reservation, so there were Japanese staff members, making check-in smooth. The instructor was really nice (and handsome!), and even though my conversation skills were just a bit better than what I learned in school, it was no problem.
The experience of seeing a rainbow below you is precious! When I was parachuting down, they asked if I was scared, and when I said I wasn't, they did a lot of spins, allowing me to enjoy the view!
I got a little dizzy, though (^_^;)
For those who are hesitant, I recommend making a reservation! It will change your world!
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジまで送迎あったので、現地まで心配なし。運転手さんも面白くて早朝からテンション高かったです!
雨季だったから現地で大雨。
でもギリギリまで可能性を探ってくれて、途中説明もちゃんとあって、数時間待ちましたが食べました。
現地で写真付きにグレードアップ。結果的に良かった。
英語必須とありますが、予約に日本人が多かったからか日本人スタッフもいてくれてスムースにチェックイン。インストラクターも凄くいい人で(イケメンだった!)、私は学校で習った英語に毛が生えたくらいの会話力でしたが問題なしでした。
虹が眼下にみれる経験は貴重!パラシュートで降りてる時、怖いか聞かれたので怖くないと言ったらいっぱい旋回してくれて景色を楽しめました!
ちょっと酔いましたが(^_^;)

The tour was fun! Our Drivers gave us information about sites as we drove along! We stopped at the macadamia nut farm and fruit stand!! He gave us options about what was available for us to do! I was with a big group, we chose hiking to the waterfall and kayaking/paddleboarding!! The hike was along a paved road so not much hiking but swimming in a waterfall was worth it!! Make sure you wear water shoes that can tolerate walking on rocks if you get in at the waterfall! And while paddle boarding, I saw a turtle then ate gelato at one of the vendors near the lake!
Overall 9/10 experience!!! Would have loved to have gone to the beach as well but time didn’t permit

I went to Hawaii for the first time on my honeymoon.
I was a bit anxious about whether I would be able to ride a horse since it was my first experience, but there was no problem at all!! The guide (who spoke English, but it was fine) provided great assistance while riding, so I felt reassured. They chose a horse that suited me. The horse was very smart, and when I gave commands with my legs, it would walk along the trail by itself, which was amusing.
While riding, I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea and mountains, experiencing the magnificent nature that you can't feel in Japan. I'm really glad I participated! It became my favorite memory of the Hawaii trip.
However, since it was a two-hour ride, my butt and legs became very sore... After getting off the horse, my legs were shaking for a while, which was funny. But even with that, I think it's a tour I would highly recommend!!
There were few dining options, and the burger I wanted had a long line, so I ended up settling for a sandwich from the shop, which I regret a little... The horse keychain at the shop was cute! ♡

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a “must have adventure” that we would highly recommend from couples to families. We spent a day and enjoyed every second of it. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and kept it quiet but loved the experience of the Tahitian wedding ceremony where we renewed our promise. The food experience was outstanding, we tried a lot of food that we never tried before. The raw tuna was our favourite. 1 day was not enough to have the time to have some art workshop to do and sadly we couldn’t go back to have an Okulele session.

We booked a dream horseback riding experience for the family in Hawaii. The reservation process was easy and went smoothly, but getting there was quite a challenge! It took too long to rent a car in Waikiki, and just when we thought we were cutting it close, we followed the directions and found a closed gate along the way. Just when we were worried we couldn't get in, a kind local informed us that we needed to enter a code, and after a bit of confusion, we managed to resolve it with a phone call. The mountain roads were quite tricky, with many narrow spots.
Although the journey was tough, once we arrived, the friendly staff and the horseback riding while enjoying the breathtaking views made it an incredible experience. The 1.5-hour tour ended up being just over an hour, but since we were riding on rocky paths the whole time, my backside was a bit sore, which was probably just right.
After the ride, we even got to feed the adorable horses. The tour moves at a leisurely pace, so there are plenty of opportunities to take photos along the way.
ハワイでの憧れの乗馬体験を家族で予約。予約方法は簡単で問題なかったけど、現地までの道のりが大変!レンタカーをワイキキで借りるのに時間がかかりすぎてギリギリだってのに加えて近くまでルート案内通り進んで行くと、途中ゲートが閉まっていて開かない。入れないかと思ってるところに親切な近隣の方が番号入力が必要なことを教えてくれて挑戦するも解らず電話をかけて何とか解決。なかなかの山道で離合は厳しいところが多かった。(^_^;)
道のりは大変だったが現地に着くとフレンドリーなスタッフの対応、絶景を眺めながらの乗馬は気持ちよく最高な体験になりました。1.5時間のツアーが1時間ちょいで終了したけど、岩道をずっと乗ってたのでお尻が痛くてちょうど良かったかな。(о´∀`о)
乗馬終了後は可愛いお馬さんに餌やり体験までさせてくれた。ゆっくり進むツアーなので途中に写真もたくさん撮れます。

I had a horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch, the filming location of the movie "Jurassic Park." With majestic mountains and beautiful coastlines, it's a fantastic place for movie fans and nature lovers alike. Riding in the vast wilderness felt extraordinary, and the stunning views of the ocean and mountains were very impressive. The instructor was knowledgeable and provided clear guidance for beginners, making it easy to enjoy. I was concerned about the heat, but a pleasant breeze made it comfortable. It was truly a satisfying tour. While there were reviews mentioning discomfort in the saddle, I found it to be perfectly fine.

The best part was the "HA Breath of Life" show. I've seen Broadway in NY and a show in the west end of London, and this show as just as good, maybe even better as it revolves around true cultural experiences for the audience to witness. I actually got tear-upped more than once. I hope many other will get the opportunity. It was worth every penny and the late bus ride back into Honolulu.

My son and I had just a few days, and wanted to see as much as we could without wearing ourselves out. An early morning hike up Diamond Head, and a subsequent tour of the island seemed like a good option, and it was great! We had enough time to climb and enjoy the view from the top, and then the van ride was wonderful. We both felt like it was the perfect balance of riding time and stops around the island at well-chosen locations. We never felt rushed, and never got bored. Our guide, Stephanie, was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a great day! BTW, the hike is not an easy stroll, but neither is it too strenuous. I'm 68, and didn't have a problem. If you're not in great shape, take the easier trail, and not the demanding stairs when you get to that point. But take the hike. It's worth it!

I was able to understand and experience horseback riding despite having a TOEIC score of around 500. Everyone was kind, and when I communicated that I struggled with English, they taught me with simple gestures.

The only issue was the meeting point. There was a gate to enter the mountains on the way, and you couldn't get in without a password. I was unsure if I was on the right path, so I called, and they told me they had sent the password via email. I still don't know which password it is, but there were some cars coming out, so I managed to get in somehow.
The scenery on the road after entering the gate was different from Japan, and it felt like I was in Jurassic World.
Including the journey there, it truly became a wonderful memory!

We enjoyed the scenery as a group while riding in a line, but the girl at the front of the group felt a bit anxious when the path split, as there were no instructions on which way to go, and she kept looking back to wait for the guide. Although we were a group of six, we could hardly hear the guide along the way, so it felt like we were mostly enjoying the horseback riding and the scenery on our own. The views of both the sea and the mountains were fantastic. The guide's response was good, but I think it would be even more enjoyable if those two points were improved. Also, since it wasn't a lead horse, I thought it would be reassuring to have the best rental options available.
グループで馬が1列になり景色を楽しみましたが、グループの先頭になった娘は、道が別れた時どちらに行ったら良いか、指示がなく、何度も後ろを振り返りガイドさんを待ったりと、少し不安になる時がありました…6人でのグループでしたが、途中のガイドもほとんど聞こえず、自分で乗馬と景色を楽しんだ感じでした。景気は海、山両方楽しめて最高です。ガイドのお姉さんの対応はよかったのですが、その2点が改善されるともっと楽しめると思います。あと、引き馬ではないので、是非ベストのレンタルもあると安心できると思いました。

We are so happy that you were able to enjoy the scenery, and the horses provided a relaxing ride! Depending on the time of the year, the position of the sun does move, and it will not always be positioned over the ocean. The sunset name is for the time of day that the ride occurs. Unfortunately, we have no control of the position of the sun, however I hope you were still able to enjoy the changing colors reflecting off the mountains and the ocean.
