When I first saw the horse, I felt scared because of its size, but once I got on, it was very smart and I was totally fine. The scenery was absolutely stunning. After two hours, my backside started to hurt a bit, though. (laughs) The hamburger and onion rings were incredibly satisfying and very delicious!
最初に馬を見た時は、大きさに怖いなぁと感じたけれど、乗ったらとっても賢くて全然大丈夫でした。
とにかく素晴らしい景色に感動です。さすがに2時間だと後半はお尻が痛くなります。笑
ハンバーガー&オニオンリングは食べ応え抜群で、とても美味しかったです♪

We took the 2 hour tour and it was AWESOME! I have to admit I was nervous about flipping and crashing considering I do not know how to drive. It was a lot easier than I thought to maneuver the ATV and became comfortable enough to enjoy the beautiful valley! The guide was friendly and easy-going, and made sure to follow the speed of the group. I am glad he was patient with me. We enjoyed the view of both valley and ocean and learned that there are some epic stories to be told about this place. You will definitely get a Native Hawaiian history lesson on this tour. I highly recommend the ATV tour, especially the 2 hour one. We got to feed and pet the pretty horses afterward, and wanted to go on the horseback ride too!

After the check-in at Kualoa Ranch we took a shuttle to Moli'i Fishpond deck. When crossing the fishpond on a floating boat make sure to have your camera ready! It's the best time to take pictures of the majestic mountain range. The scenery is incredible, you feel like you are in a movie!
Once on the other side, we started enjoying our day at this beautiful private beach with views from Chinaman's Hat and Kaneohe Bay. They have restrooms, changing rooms, fresh water shower, covered picnic tables and a staff member to help you if you need anything. Make sure to bring sunscreen and some snacks.
My brother and I spent the morning kayaking, snorkeling, stand up paddling and playing games. The staff took us on a quick Glass Bottom Boat ride and we spotted a lot of green sea turtles! After all those activities we were just relaxing in a hammock under a palm tree.
I will definitely come back to enjoy another relaxing day there!

The horseback riding experience was satisfying, but I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't hear the guide's explanations at all during the ride. For two hours, I just followed in silence. I think I would have enjoyed it more if there had been a Japanese-speaking guide.
乗馬体験は満足のいくものでしたが、道中ガイドの方の説明が全く聞き取れずちょっとがっかりでした。二時間ただただ無言でついていくだけでした。日本語のガイド案内があるともっと楽しめたと思います。

Myself and two daughters (17,21) choose the Adventure package because we couldn't decide on which tour to do, so many options. We did the jungle expedition, Hollywood tour and the 800 year old fish pond. The guides were all very knowledgeable but most of all entertaining. The ranch has a deep history and the staff has done well to respect what was once there and is still being used today. Beautiful trip!

It was the first time for our entire family to go horseback riding. Although there were various troubles along the way, such as the horse eating grass and getting lost, those troubles turned into funny stories later, and everyone said they had a great time.
The scenery along the way was also wonderful, so one hour felt a bit short, while two hours felt long. For someone over 40 who doesn't usually exercise, I think the two-hour course might be physically challenging. My wife ended up with muscle soreness the next day.
家族全員、乗馬自体が初めてでした。途中で馬が草を食べたり、道を間違えたり、いろいろトラブルはあったものの、そのトラブルも、あとからの笑い話になるくらいで、全員、楽しかったと言っていました。
途中の景色もすばらしいので、1時間だと短い感じはしますが、2時間は長い感じがしました。普段運動をしていない40歳を過ぎた人には、2時間コースは体力的に厳しいのではないかとも思えてきます。妻は、翌日筋肉痛になっていました。

The zipline at the Kualoa Ranch was great. I've always wanted to try it, so when I heard that they started zipline there, I signed up without hesitation. After the check-in, a nice bus guide took me on an off-road ride to the zipline station in the back of the valley. It was pretty cool to see a working cattle ranch that was used for many movies and TV shows. Once I got there, I was greeted by 3 guides who escorted our group to the tour. They did a pretty good job explaining the botanical information around each course, and of course, setting us up on the zipline to fly across the valley! There were 7 courses and a couple of suspension bridges. It was great, and I recommend this to everyone!

I had originally purchased the 2 hour horseback riding tour but was called earlier on the day of the ride that they were not able to give the 2 hour ride tour due to a triathlon taking place on the Kualoa Ranch property. Renee was great to talk with with she offered alternatives. Change of day in the ride or lunch on them and a 1 hour ride with a bus ride to see the area that "Jurassic Park" was filmed. We chose to take the 1 hour ride and lunch on them. The buffet lunch was VERY good and had many selections to choose from. The horse were used to having inexperienced riders. They in my reflection were push button horses. They followed the leader. Very good ride for a first time horseback rider. The tour guide was very pleasant. Oh and Veltra reimbursed me the difference in cost between the two rides. That was very nice of them. When I go back to Oahu I think I will purchase the ATV tour. That looked like a lot of fun.

Best activity we could have ever imagined! Originally we did this because it was an activity my nephew and his wife had not done yet. They are stationed in Oahu and they do the same activities with all family that visits. Well, this was new for all and just the most fun. It rained during the trip and at first we thought that would ruin it, but it actually made it even more fun. My advice...spend the money and splurge on the two hour tour and pray for rain. Invest in a rain jacket though (we bought ours from them because we weren't prepared) and it will be the most breathtaking fun adventure ever!

Since there are few mentions about the bus, let me add some information.
Please take the number 55 bus from Ala Moana Center. It runs about once an hour. If you get off at Kualoa Ranch, you'll be right in front of the ranch.
If you're unsure, you can tell the driver when you get on, and they will stop for you.
The bus takes about an hour and a half, and sometimes the air conditioning can be too strong, so it's good to have something to wear.
Horseback riding is wonderful, to the point where the theme song of Jurassic Park comes to mind as a hum.
My wife found it a bit painful on her backside, though...
The 11:45 AM ride finishes, and while preparing to leave, it becomes past 2 PM.
It seems that lunch sets are available until 2 PM, but if you go even a little past that, you can only order hamburgers... I understand the staff is busy, but I wish they could be a bit more flexible.
The burgers are delicious, but one set is a bit too much for women.
For a couple, two burgers are filling enough to keep you satisfied until a light dinner.
To catch the return bus, walk to the covered bus stop and go right from the road in front.
バスについて書かれてる方が少ないので、補足しますね。
アラモアナセンターから55番のバスに乗ってください。一時間に一本くらいのペースで出てます。クアロアランチで降りれば牧場前です。
不安なら乗るときに運転手さんに伝えると停めてくれました。
バスは一時間半くらいかかって車内はクーラーきき過ぎのことがあるので羽織れるものあったがいいですよ。
乗馬は自然にジェラシックパークのテーマ曲が鼻歌で出るほどすばらしいです。
奥さんはお尻が痛くなってましたが。。
11時45分からの分は終わっていろいろ帰る準備していると2時を過ぎます。
食事は2時まではランチセットがある模様ですが、少しでも過ぎるとハンバーガーしか頼めなくなります。。。おばちゃん忙しいのはわかるけどもう少し融通利かせて欲しいものです。
バーガーはおいしいですが、女性にワンセットは少し多いですね。
夫婦で二個、満腹で夜は軽くてすむぐらい腹持ちします。

We are residents in Hawaii, actually we moved here from California about 5 years ago and while kids are off school on their fall break, I decided to take them out. I didn't realize there's actually a lot to do and see here, thanks to my cousin, Emily, who works for VELTRA that recommended me to do these things.
Kualoa Ranch is amazingly beautiful! We checked-in at 8:00am to do the Full Day Experience Pass and it was the perfect time as we were able to do four different activities. We did the Jungle Expedition and although it was a really bumpy ride (which is quite fun actually), the view of the Chinaman's hat island upon reaching the top after our small hike was breathtaking! We did the Ocean Voyaging which is nice also as we got to see the view of the windward side from a far, the Ranch & Movie Tour, and the Ancient Fishing Grounds & Tropical Gardens Tour. Buffet lunch was also included in the Value Pass and the menu items are so ono(delicous)! Overall, it was a really fun and exciting experience!

There was a couple in their twenties from Japan, a man in his thirties who seemed to be a relative, and a couple in their twenties from America in the same group. A total of six people, four men and two women, participated in the two-hour course.
Since the buggy does not have power steering, it requires some "strength" to operate the steering wheel. This adds to the fun of driving the buggy. There is a steep cliff behind and the ocean in front. It is a nearly flat grassland (RUNCH) sandwiched between them. Driving a buggy through nature gives you a feeling of being embraced by the great outdoors. There was an explanation that "Jurassic Park and other movies" were filmed here, but I am not interested in that; I would rather have more time to drive the buggy. The majestic mountains and ocean are likely the appeal of this activity. A little more attention, such as providing bottled water, would be appreciated. Taking a break while drinking cold water and enjoying the scenery...
This might be an unusual "experience"...
私の他に日本人の20代の夫婦とその親戚らしき30代男性と20代のアメリカ人のカップルが同じ組にいました。男性4名女性2名の計6名が2時間コースで参加しました。
バギーはパワーステアリングでない為、ハンドル操作には「力」が必要です。それがバギー操作を面白くしている。背面には、切立つた崖(山)があり、正面は海である。それらに挟まれたほぼ平坦な草原(RUNCH)である。大自然の中を「自分で運転する」バギーで走るのは正に自然に抱かれている感情である。ここで「ジェラシクパークや他の映画」が撮影されたとの説明があるが、私には興味がない、それより多くの時間をバギー運転をさせて欲しい。雄大な山と海がこのアクテブィテーの魅力だろう。飲料水(ボトル)の提供をする等、少し細やかな配慮が必要です。冷たい水を飲みながら景色を見ながらの休息・・・・
ここれは、異質の「体験」かも知れない・・・・・

This was my second time in Hawaii, and while I was exploring what to do, I thought, "This is it!" when I found horseback riding. Although there are tours available through Japanese travel agencies that include transportation, I rented a car and went on my own.
It was my first time riding, but the horses were very well-behaved. With just the simple reins operation I learned at the beginning, they listened to me perfectly, which made me feel very safe while riding.
As I enjoyed the scenery in the vast area, two hours flew by, and I thought it wasn't nearly enough. Just as I got off the horse, my legs suddenly gave out, and I was surprised myself (laughs).
The instructions were all in English, but even someone like me, who only understands basic English, was fine. Since I participated alone, the cowgirl (?) occasionally checked in on me and chatted, which was also fun.
I want to do this again when I go to Hawaii!
今回ハワイは2度目で、何をやろうかなぁ~と色々探していた時に、これだ!と思ったのが乗馬でした。
送迎付きの日本の旅行代理店のツアーでも行けるようですが、私はレンタカーを借りて、自力で行ってきました♪
私は初めての乗馬でしたが、とってもお利口な馬たちで、最初に教えてもらった簡単な手綱の操作だけで、しっかり言うことを聞いてくれるので、とても安心して乗馬ができます。
広大な敷地の中、景色を眺めていたら2時間があっという間で、まだまだ全然足りないわ~と思っていたら、馬から降りた途端に足がガクッとなり、自分でもびっくりしました(笑)
ずっと英語の案内でしたが、簡単な英語しか分からない程度の私でも大丈夫でした。ひとり参加だったので、途中何度かカウガール(?)のお姉さんが気を遣って話しかけてくれたりして、それもまた楽しかったです。
ハワイに行ったらまたやりたいです!
