First, we gathered at the Sheraton bus stop. There is a counter where you check in and receive a wristband. Each activity has a different color wristband. Upon arrival, there is an explanation in Japanese about how to check in for each activity. During the waiting time between activities, you can buy souvenirs, have lunch at a café, or visit the Kualoa Ranch History Museum. The menu includes items like hamburgers (around $10 for a classic burger), loco moco, and garlic shrimp. For horseback riding, you store your belongings in a locker, check in, and then watch an orientation video in Japanese. Local participants received orientation directly from the instructor in English. It seems that horses have their own personalities, as some people encountered horses that strayed off the course. However, since the horses are well-trained, we were able to enjoy horseback riding while taking in the natural surroundings and experiencing authentic riding. The schedule indicated a departure from Kualoa Ranch around 2:00 PM, but we were able to leave at 1:00 PM, which minimized our waiting time and allowed us to make effective use of the following hours. The one-hour horseback ride was a simple course, but it was great to fully enjoy the great outdoors and experience horseback riding.
まず、シェラトンのバス乗り場に集合しました。カウンターがあるのでそこでチェックインんして、リストバンドをもらいます。コースごとに色がちがいます。到着すると各アクティビティのチェックイン方法の説明が日本語であります。アクティビティの間の待ち時間にはお土産を買ったり、カフェでランチをとったり、クアロアランチヒストリーミュージアムをみたりできます。ハンバーガー(クラシックバーガー10ドルくらい)やロコモコ、ガーリックシュリンプなどのメニューがあります。乗馬は荷物をロッカーに預けて、チェックインをした後、日本語のビデオでオリエンテーションがあります。現地の人は英語でインストラクターから直接オリエンテーションを受けていました。馬にも性格があるようでコースからそれてしまう馬にあたっている人もいました。しかしながら、調教がしっかりとされているので、自然を楽しみながら乗馬する余裕がありながら、本格的な乗馬を体験できました。スケジュールでは14:00-15:00ごろクアロアランチ発となっていましたが、13:00には、クアロアランチを出発できたので、待ち時間も少なく、その後の時間も有効に活用することができました。
1時間の乗馬でシンプルなコースですが、大自然を満喫して、乗馬も体験できたので、すごく良かったです。

It was a 2-hour horseback riding experience. There was someone who could speak Japanese to assist us, which was reassuring and very appreciated. Since there is one guide for each group, we were a group of six, but it might be more enjoyable with a smaller group. The 2-hour course felt quite long. I think one hour would be just right for a first-time rider. I may have been a bit greedy (laughs). The horses were well-trained and sometimes caused a bit of trouble, but they were smart. Kualoa Ranch offers various activities, so I think it's great to combine them for more fun.
乗馬体験2時間コースでした。日本語のできるお手伝いしてくれる方がいました。安心しましたし、大変ありがたかったです。グループ毎にガイドさんが一名なので、私達は6名のグループでしたが、もう少し少ない方が楽かもしれません。2時間コース、けっこう長かったです。初めての乗馬なら1時間でちょうどいいような気がしました。欲張り過ぎました(笑)馬はよく躾けられており、時々困らせてくれましたが、お利口さんです。クアロア牧場は様々なアクティビティがあるので、組み合わせて楽しむのもいいと思います。

We had a great morning at the ranch. My husband loves driving the raptor and it was great to see where all our favourite tv shows and movies were filmed. Even if you’re not a movie buff the scenery alone is worth the visit, an absolutely stunning place! Great guides too who make you feel very relaxed and make it great fun.

I wondered if two hours would be too long, but it wasn't at all; before I knew it, the time had flown by as I became completely absorbed in the experience. Riding in such magnificent scenery, which you can't see in Japan, made me feel like an adventurer or an explorer.
Even though I can only speak a few words, the reception and the guide were friendly and accommodating, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience.
My wife's horse was lively and sometimes didn't listen, while my horse was timid and descended slowly but was obedient. It was fun to see the differences in their personalities.
2時間では長いかな?と思いましたがそんなことはなく夢中になっているうちに終わってしまっていました。日本では見られないような壮大な景色の中、体験する乗馬はまるで冒険家、探検家になったかのような気分でした。
単語しかしゃべれない私にも受付、ガイドの方ともに対応、愛想が良く安心して楽しめました。

I had a 2-hour horseback riding experience!
It was my first time riding, but the two hours flew by.
It felt like I had truly stepped into the world of Jurassic Park.
The staff were very friendly, and when my horse stopped to eat grass, they came over to guide the horse.
I had some anxiety, but there was nothing to worry about.

We had a two-hour horseback riding course starting at 8 AM, and the ranch was still quiet with just six of us setting off. The horses were all calm, occasionally munching on grass, but we felt safe riding up hills and crossing rivers. The mountains were shrouded in mist, and we spent a precious two hours slowly taking in the magnificent scenery, feeling as if we had stepped into a Jurassic Park movie. I was extremely satisfied!

I participated in a zip line experience. We were driven from the ranch to the starting point, and along the way, there were movie filming locations. Fast-paced English was flying around, and while I didn't understand everything, I picked up some words and started to get a sense of the meaning.
It was a chilly day with clouds and occasional rain, but racing down over the pastured cows was refreshing, even without a clear blue sky. The guides were all fun, and I had a great time.
We were in the group that started at 11:30, but the bus pickup time was at 7:00. There were three return buses included in the package, but only one bus going there. We spent over three hours at the ranch before the start time, which felt a bit long. We relaxed and chatted, but I felt it would be better if there were at least two buses going there.
The zip line itself was fantastic, but I felt there were areas for improvement in the tour schedule, so I rated the overall experience a 4.

The video description in Japanese mentions that helmets are provided for free, and water bottles can be placed in the saddlebag. Throughout the ride, a local horse staff member accompanied us, opening gates along the way, but there was no guidance about filming or any other information provided. The horse guidance was limited to simple Japanese commands like "right" and "left." The handling of the horses was professional, so I felt safe; the horse I rode followed the one in front, so as long as we avoided distractions, everything was fine. It's suitable for beginners as well.
It's recommended to wear long sleeves and long pants. If your pants ride up while mounting, high socks are advisable. Soft, loose-fitting fabric for pants is also recommended. I enjoyed the views of the mountains, grasslands, and ocean in Hawaii.
日本語のビデオ説明、ヘルメット着用(無料貸出)、サドルバックにペットボトルの水などがいれられました。
出発から終わりまで、現地の馬のスタッフがひとりついてくれて途中のゲートを開けたりしてくれましたが、ここでこんな撮影がありました、などのガイドは一切無しでした。

I thought the 2-hour course might be a bit long, but in the end, I was glad it was 2 hours. The reservation was well organized in advance, and although there were no staff who spoke Japanese, the process was completed without any stress. Since it had just rained, my shoes got a little muddy before riding, but it wasn't a big deal, and there was no splashing of mud during the ride, so my clothes stayed clean. I was impressed by how the horse followed the instructions I was given in advance (to walk, turn, and stop), and I was overwhelmed by the grandeur of nature during those 2 hours. My butt got a bit sore, but it was nothing I couldn't quickly forget. There were lockers available for use, and the restaurant had high-quality food, which made me very satisfied. It was a facility where even older couples could enjoy themselves comfortably.
少し長いかなと思いつつ2時間コースを申し込みましたが結果的に2時間で良かったと思います。事前予約でしっかり手配されており日本語のできるスタッフはいませんでしたがストレスなく手続き完了。雨上がりだったので馬に乗るまで靴は少し泥で汚れますがたいしたことなく乗馬中は全く泥跳ねもなく服はきれいでした。事前に馬の操り方(歩く、曲がる、止まる)を教えてもらい馬が忠実に従ってくれるのに感動し、自然の雄大さに圧倒される2時間でした。ややお尻が痛くなりましたがすぐに忘れる程度、安心して使えるロッカーもありレストランもクオリティーが高く満足、初老の夫婦でも安心して楽しめる施設でした。

We participated in a 2-hour horseback riding tour as a family of four (2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 12). The female guide was precise in her instructions, and the scenery was breathtaking, making it a great recommendation for those who want to enjoy horseback riding. However, it was somewhat crowded due to participants from various routes, which made the guidance after arriving at the ranch a bit unclear. Additionally, there is quite a bit of free time before and after the horseback riding, but there isn't much to do or see, which can leave you feeling a bit idle.

ただし、様々なルートからのツアー参加者で多少混雑するためなのか、牧場到着後の案内がわかりづらかったです。また、乗馬を始める前と終わった後にフリータイムが結構あるのですが、あまりやることがなく、見るものも乏しいので手持無沙汰になります。

It was my first time riding in Western style, but the horses were well-trained, so I felt safe riding them.

Food at their Buffet was very good and plentiful. All was well worth the money paid and I would do it again.

I took the city bus to the ranch, and the bus stop was close, so there were no issues. It was great to have the ocean right in front of me.

You can make a reservation from the Kualoa website, but I was anxious about entering my credit card information on a first-time and overseas site, so I booked through this site from Japan. I scheduled my reservation for 10:45.
On the day of the visit, I purchased a one-day pass for THE BUS from Waikiki and took the No. 8 bus to Ala Moana Center around 8 AM. I got off at Ala Moana Bl + Ala Moana Center and took the No. 55 bus from the bus stop right in front. After about 1 hour and 30 minutes, I arrived at Kamehameha Hwy + Opp Kualoa Ranch at 9:30.
I passed through the front shop and handed my voucher at a kind of general counter. The lady at the reception said, "Eleven forty," and I thought, "11:45? But my reservation is for 10:45!" I kept saying, "No! Ten forty!" but she kept responding with "Eleven forty." I was frustrated, but since I could only speak basic English, I had no choice but to back down. I spent a wasted two hours eating a hamburger in the cafeteria and taking pictures with horses.
At 11:45, there was a simple horseback riding explanation in Japanese video. We started riding around noon, wandering through the mountains. It was a mountain and sea course for one hour, but mostly on mountain paths. However, it was a fun hour.
The weather was just right for this time of year, and I was perfectly fine in a short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and sneakers. However, it might be cold if it rains. Also, be careful as the raincoats they lend you are dirty.
I thought the start time was strange, and when I returned to the hotel and checked the voucher on the site, it said, "Check-In Time: 10:45." In small letters above it, it said, "Kualoa Ranch Horseback Ride/11:45." The receptionist was correct!
However, I was sure I had booked for 10:45 on VELTRA, so I checked the Kualoa Ranch page on the VELTRA site.
When I clicked on the start time of 10:45 on the application screen, it said, "Check in at the Kualoa Ranch ticket office at 10:15," "Enjoy your horseback riding time at 10:45," "There will be a Japanese video briefing," and "Activity ends at 11:45."
Something seems off...
...I got it!
When you book for 10:45, the voucher's Check-In Time becomes 10:15, and if the start time on the site is 11:45, then the voucher's Check-In Time becomes 10:45.
It’s unclear whether there was a communication issue from VELTRA to Kualoa or if my reservation for 10:45 was full and pushed to 11:45. If the card you receive in exchange for the voucher is for 11:45, then after going to the stables at 11:45 and a 10-minute explanation, the horseback riding time would be from 12:00 to 1:00.
The horseback riding and atmosphere were ★★★★★, the cafeteria was not clean ★★★, the price of $88 without transportation was too high ★★, and the man at the entrance information counter could speak a little Japanese ★★★.
With 1.5 hours of bus travel + 2 hours of waiting + 1.5 hours of horseback riding (including explanation) + 1.5 hours of bus travel + 0.5 hours of bus waiting, the total is 7 hours! Just one hour of horseback riding took 7 hours! Considering the precious travel time, the cost performance is ★. Overall ★★.
The bus indeed takes time.
It might be best to rent a car and visit Kualoa + Polynesian + North Shore in the morning, or Kualoa + Kailua (Lanikai) + Sea Life Park + Blowhole in the morning.
I apologize for the lengthy message.

+バス移動1時間半+バス待ち0.5時間で
合計7時間!たった1時間の乗馬に7時間!
貴重な旅行期間中と考えれば、コスパは☆1です。
総合☆2
やはりバスは時間がかかります。
レンタカーを借りて朝いちクアロア+ポリネシア+ノースショアを周るか、
朝いちクアロア+カイルワ(ラニカイ)+シーライフパーク+潮吹き岩に行くのが
ベストでは無いでしょうか。
長々と失礼しました。

It was our first trip to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We used this tour to visit Kualoa Ranch, which has been a filming location for Jurassic Park and many other movies! Compared to many other tour companies, this one was more affordable, and the experience was the same.
We boarded a large bus at the pickup location (our hotel) in the morning, and since it was early, everyone on the bus was sleeping. During the ride, we filled out a survey for our desired activities, and upon arrival, we were given a schedule for the day. Each person then went to the designated meeting points for their chosen activities.
We chose the movie location tour, jungle exploration, and ocean voyage tour. On the movie location tour, we were able to take photos next to that famous tree from Jurassic Park. The Japanese explanations at various filming points were very clear and helpful. The jungle exploration was guided in English, but it was still enjoyable even with a basic understanding! Here, we were taken to several filming locations, which were different from those on the movie location tour, and personally, I found this part to be even more impressive. The ocean voyage involved getting on a boat and heading out to sea, where we saw many sea turtles, which was truly satisfying. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, so it would have been even more amazing if it had been sunny!
Horseback riding and the buggies also looked like a lot of fun. I would love to use this tour again!
新婚旅行でのはじめてのハワイでした。
ジュラシックパーク、ワールドや数々の映画のロケ地になっているクアロアランチにこちらのツアーを利用して行ってきました!たくさんのツアー会社のものと比較してもこちらの方が割安!体験内容も変わりありません。
朝迎えの大型バスにピックアップ場所(滞在ホテルでした)で乗り込み、クアロアランチへ。朝早いのもありバスの中はみんな寝ています。バスの中で希望するアクティビティのアンケートを取り、現地に到着した際に1日の予定表を渡され、各自で各アクティビティの集合場所に行き体験するといった感じでした。
我々は、映画ロケ地ツアーとジャングル探検、オーシャンボヤージツアーを選択。映画ロケ地ツアーではジュラシックパークで有名なあの木の側で写真が撮れます。また様々な撮影ポイントで日本語の説明をしてくれるのでとてもわかりやすかったです。ジャングル探検では英語ガイドでしたがなんとなくの理解でも楽しめます!ここでも数カ所ロケ地に案内されますが、どれもロケ地ツアーとは別のところで個人的にはこちらの方が凄かったです。オーシャンボヤージも船にのり海に出ますが、船上からウミガメが沢山見れ本当に満足いくものでした。天気があいにくの曇り空でしたので、晴れていたらもっと素晴らしかったことでしょう!
乗馬や、バギーもとても楽しそうでした。また利用させていただきたいです。

We participated with a total of 10 people, from my 70-year-old grandfather to my 4-year-old grandchild. A lucky memory was seeing a sea turtle, while an unfortunate experience was the jungle tour in a downpour.
70歳の祖父からと4歳の孫まで合計10名で参加しました。運良くウミガメが見られたことと運悪くスコールの中でのジャングルツアーは良い思い出です。

The zipline in nature was refreshing. Kualoa Ranch is often used as a movie filming location, and on the way to the zipline, it felt like a location tour, which was a nice bonus.
大自然でのジップラインは
気持ちよかったです。
クアロア牧場は、映画ロケ地でよく使われており、ジップライン場所へ行くまで、ロケ地ツアーみたいになってて得した気分です。

This time, I only booked the horseback riding course, but I thought it would be more efficient to add another activity. I believe a 2-hour horseback riding tour would be fine.
今回は乗馬コースのみの予約でしたが、もう1つのアクティビティをつけた方が時間を有効活用できると思いました。2時間の乗馬ツアーなら問題ないと思います。

Whilst it was beautiful and scenic. It felt very touristy and quite overrated given the price. In hindsight booking the AV prob would have been better. We did the movie tour and secret island with beach activities.

When I got home and tried to look at the data sent to my computer, I found that I couldn't save it to view. I contacted them to ask them to send the data to my mobile by attaching my mobile address since I couldn't view it via email forwarding, but they never sent it at all. It feels like I just threw away the money I spent on the data... I'm shocked.
I think it would be better to burn the data on-site and hand it over in situations like this.
帰ってパソコンに送られてきたデーターを見ようと思ったら保存して見ることが出来ません。メール転送で、見れないので携帯のアドレスを添付して携帯にデーターを送って下さいと連絡したのですが、全く送ってくることなくデーター購入したお金が捨てたのと同じで…ショックです。
こういう事もあるので、その場でデーターを焼いて渡すとかした方が良いと思います。
