Fantastic!

Reviewed by: Medicine Hat, Alberta

This was our first time and we loved it! The views were spectacular, it was fun, and was an overall good time. Be prepared to get down and dusty though if you are at the back of the ATV line up! Thanks Michael for the tour, we really enjoyed it!

Reviewed by: 送迎

I really wanted to go horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch. It's a shame there’s no shuttle service. It takes an hour and a half by bus from Ala Moana, and I was worried about not having enough buses to get back. I was disappointed that I spent time on things other than horseback riding. I would really like to request that you consider offering a plan with shuttle service.

アラモアナから、バスで1時間半、帰りもバスがあまりないから帰れるのか不安でした。
乗馬以外に時間を費やしたのが残念。

Horseback riding in nature. 大自然の中での乗馬

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This is a place that has been used in movies, and you will be overwhelmed by the great nature. You can go horseback riding there, which feels really nice. First, you watch a video in Japanese that explains the precautions, and then you are assigned a horse that fits your body size. After that, you proceed slowly in a single file. The horses tend to stray off to eat grass, so you need to be careful, but time passes enjoyably while chatting with the staff. However, since it's a long ride, your backside may start to hurt towards the end. I recommend it because you can enjoy a wonderful time while feeling the pleasant breeze of Hawaii.

ここは映画でも使用された場所で、その大自然に圧倒されます。
そこで乗馬をできて、とても気持ちいいです。
始めに日本語で注意事項などのビデオを見てから、自分の体格に合った馬を割り当てられます。
そして、ゆっくりと1列になって進んで行きます。
馬たちは草を食べたくて寄り道するので、注意が必要ですが
スタッフのお姉さんたちとおしゃべりしながら楽しい時間が過ぎていきます。
しかし長時間の乗馬なので、最後の方はお尻が痛くなってきます。
ハワイの気持ち良い風を感じながら、素敵な時間を過ごせるのでお勧めです。

Reviewed by: TOMO

It was my first time on a four-wheeler, so I was filled with both excitement and anxiety, but riding through the rugged paths in the great outdoors was incredibly refreshing. The two-hour course was very satisfying! I heard there's also a one-hour course, but since it includes explanations and practice, I think the two-hour option is better.

It was an hour of horseback riding, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. There was a Japanese video with instructions, so there were no issues at all. The staff were very considerate towards us, even though our English wasn't great, and we had a great time. My backside got a bit sore, and since we couldn't gallop the horse, an hour was just enough.

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I've been to Hawaii many times, and last year I participated in a horseback riding course in the North. This time, my daughter, who became hooked on horseback riding, insisted that we join a two-hour horseback riding course at Kualoa Ranch.

Unlike the North, here we were truly able to enjoy horseback riding while being gently rocked on the horse's back amidst breathtaking scenery and magnificent nature. It was an emotional experience to see the filming locations of Jurassic Park and the familiar landscapes from Lost on the vast grounds.

We were a team of six, and our guide, who is a fifth-generation Japanese American, was fluent in both Japanese and English. They frequently came back and forth from the front to the back where we were, taking care of us and chatting, so we had no worries or complaints and really enjoyed ourselves.

The two hours flew by. My son said it was the most fun he had during this trip. I highly recommend this tour! ☆

ハワイは何度も来ていて、去年はノースの乗馬コースに参加しました。そのときに乗馬にはまった娘にせがまれて、今回はクアロア牧場での乗馬2時間コースに参加しました。
ノースと違って、こちらは息を呑むほどの美しい風景と壮大な自然の中を、まさにゆったりのんびり馬の背に揺られて、本当に乗馬を堪能することができました。広大な敷地にある、ジュラシックパークの撮影現場、ロストでの見覚えのある地形など、感動ものでした。
また、6人で1チームでしたが、案内役の方が日系5世で日本語も英語も流暢な上、先頭から一番後ろの私たちまで何度も何度も行き来をしてお世話やお話をしてくれたので何一つ不安も不満もなく、本当に楽しめました。
あっという間の2時間でした。息子は今回の旅行の中で一番楽しかったと喜んでいました。このツアーはお勧めです☆

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The wife and I enjoyed this tour immensely. We had always been doing the Waikiki stuff on vacation in Hawaii before now, but this time we decided to see what was on the Eastside of the island.

And by far, we both feel this is the prettiest spot on the whole island. It is quieter and really does have that "Old Hawaii" feel to it. The tour was excellent, the ranch is BEAUTIFUL, and the staff was friendly and very knowledgeable in answering every question we had.

Our first date was to the movie Jurassic Park too, so that was a really neat added benefit, to visit the place some scenes were actually filmed there! Would highly recommend this tour!

I recommend the 2-hour course! 2時間コースおすすめです♪

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The explanation before horseback riding was just a simple Japanese video, so I was honestly quite anxious, but once I got on the horse, all my worries disappeared.

I understood that I needed to follow the horse in front of me, so when the horse in front stopped, I stopped too. When it moved, I moved. All the horses were very smart and didn’t stray off course at all. They are really clever!

This time, in addition to the four of us, there were two Westerners participating individually, making a total of six people plus one guide for the two-hour course.

The guide only knew simple Japanese necessary for horseback riding, like “kick with both feet” and “pull,” so all the explanations about the movie filming along the way were in English. I thought that maybe Japanese people tend to sign up for half-day courses, as there were not many participants in the two-hour course.

At the end, we passed by another group of about 20 people, who were mostly Japanese. They had a Japanese guide. If you want to hear explanations in Japanese, this course might be better for you.

The scenery was absolutely amazing, and the two hours flew by! Many movies, including "Lost," "Jurassic Park," and "Godzilla," were filmed here, and we also passed the filming location for the remake of "Journey to the Center of the Earth," which is scheduled for release in 2012.

It’s quite far from Waikiki to Kualoa Ranch, but if I have the chance, I would love to join the two-hour course again!

乗馬前の説明は簡単な日本語ビデオを見るだけだったので、正直かなり不安でしたが、お馬さんに乗ったら不安も吹っ飛びました。

前の馬についていくことをわかっているので、前の馬が止まったら自分も止まる。動いたら動く。とどの馬もとっても頭がよく、激しくコースを外れることはありません。
本当におりこうさんたちです。

今回、私たち4人のほかに西洋人2名がそれぞれ一人参加で、計6人+ガイド1名で2時間コースを楽しみました。

ガイドさんは「両足蹴って」とか「引っ張って」とか乗馬に必要な簡単な日本語しかわからない方だったので、途中の映画撮影についての説明などはすべて英語です。日本人はほとんどの方が半日コースなどに申し込まれるからか、日本人の2時間コースの参加は少ないのかなと思いました。

最後、ほかのグループとすれ違いましたが、20名ぐらい?の大人数でほぼ日本人のようでした。こちらは日本人ガイドさんがいらっしゃいました。説明を日本語で聞きたいのならこちらのコースがいいのかもしれません。

景色はとっても最高で、あっという間の2時間でした!
ロスト、ロストワールドやゴジラのほかにもたくさんの映画が撮影され、2012年に公開予定の「travel to the center of the earth」?のリメイク?撮影場所も通ります。

ワイキキからクアロア牧場までかなり遠いけど、機会があればまた2時間コースに参加したいです♪

Enjoyed for 2 hours♪ 2時間満喫♪

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I always appreciate Alan1's service. This is my second visit to Kualoa Ranch. During my first visit, I participated in a package that included transportation and allowed me to choose four activities, but I felt that the one-hour horseback riding was not enough. So this time, I signed up for a two-hour horseback riding course. The two-hour option offers a different route and allows you to go further in with a buggy, so I was able to fully enjoy the experience. However, since there was no transportation provided, it was quite challenging to get there from Waikiki on my own. I took the bus from Ala Moana, which took quite a bit of time, and since there are not many buses, I ended up spending a lot of time on travel before and after. It felt wasteful. Especially on the way back, the bus did not pass by at the scheduled time, and I had to wait nearly an hour for the next bus after the previous one had just left. It was getting quite dark, and I became anxious about whether I would make it back to Waikiki safely. I wish there were an option to request transportation for those who do not rent a car, even if it is at a higher price. I would like to go horseback riding again if the opportunity arises, and I would be happy if a transportation-inclusive plan is available by then.

いつもalan1にお世話になっております。2度目のクアロア牧場です。1度目は4種目選択する送迎付きのものに参加しましたが、前回乗馬1時間が物足りなかったので今回乗馬だけ2時間コースを申し込みました。やはり2時間だとコースも違ってバギーで行く奥の方まで行けるので十分満喫できました。ただ、送迎がないのでワイキキから自力で行かなければならないのが大変でした。アラモアナからBUSに乗ってかなり時間を要したし、本数も少ないので前後の移動時間にかなり時間を割くことになったのがもったいなかったです。特に帰りがバス停を通過する時間が定刻でないのと、ちょうど前のBUSが行った後だったのか次のBUSを1時間弱待つことになり、辺りは真っ暗になってきて無事ワイキキまでたどり着けるのか気疲れしてしまいました。オプションでレンタカーで行かない人用に割高でも送迎を頼めるようになっているといいのにと思いました。また機会があれば乗馬に行きたいのでその頃には送迎付きプランも設定されていれば嬉しいです。

I participated in the 2-hour course. It was definitely nice to be able to see the filming locations of the movie while riding a horse, but after a while, my backside started to hurt, and it became tough from the middle of the ride. However, it was a satisfying activity.

As a side note, the stalls selling drinks and other items close when the activity ends, so if you want to buy something, I recommend taking care of that before the activity starts.

I loved this activity!!!! The ATV's were sooo cool!!! It took me a little to get a hold of it, so me and my bf went on a separate group. It was just the three of us, including my instructor Jacob. Jacob was great, very informative and he even let us do some cool turns. The views are to die for, specially the china-man's hat. We saw where 50 First Dates was filmed, and stood inside Godzilla's paw!!! This is nothing like driving a car, it is much cooler. This is definitely something I would do everywhere I go.

I participated in a 2-hour horseback riding session. As I had read in previous reviews, the Japanese support here is not what you would expect in Waikiki. However, the stunning scenery and the refreshing experience of horseback riding without the mandatory helmets that you are often forced to wear in Japan is remarkable. The staff made a great effort to communicate, and I learned about the kukui nut tree, which is used for making leis, as we progressed through the ranch. Naturally, we encountered groups of cows along the way, which was fun. By the end of the 2 hours, my backside was in so much pain (I suffered from the pain for several days). Next time, when I go with friends, I plan to join the 2-hour course again.

ここでの書き込みでも見ていたように、ワイキキで期待できるような日本語対応ではありませんでした。
が。景色の素晴らしさや、日本で体験できる乗馬ではほぼ強制的に着用させられるヘルメット等がない乗馬の爽快感は特筆です。
スタッフさんもコミュニケーションをとろうと努力してくれているのがとてもよくわかり、お土産でも見かける、レイの材料として使われるククイナッツの木を教えてもらったり、牧場内を進んでいくうちに、当然のことながら、牛が団体で現れたり、楽しかったです。
さすがに、2時間が終わるころには、お尻が痛くて仕方ありませんでした(数日、痛みに苦しみました)。
次回、友達と行くときにも、もう一度2時間コースに参加する予定です。

I experienced horseback riding for the first time while learning to handle the reins. During the approximately two-hour ride, I was able to enjoy the magnificent scenery of Hawaii and visit movie filming locations, and the time flew by. The horse I rode didn't always listen to me and had some unexpected moments, like suddenly running off or stopping to eat, but it was a wonderful memory. Since you can't choose the horse, I think it's just luck of the day, but I believe all of them are good horses. The next day, I had muscle soreness and bruises.

初めての引き綱操作で乗馬を体験しました。約2時間の乗馬でハワイの壮大な景色や映画の撮影地を回ることが出来、あっというまに時間が過ぎました。私の乗った馬は少し言うことを聞かず、突然走り出したり、止まってえさを食べたりというハプニングもありましたが、とても良い思い出です。馬は選ぶことができないため、その日その日の運かなぁと思いますが、どの子もいい子だと思います。

A Must Do!!

My wife and I took the 2 hr ATV tour and were amazed at the sites seen and knowledge and kindness of our guides. We were not expecting to go so far back into the island and from that we got to see some of the most amazing views only available through the tour. Markus, one of our guides, explained to us where all the film spots were and even picked a few local fruits for us to snack on. The route takes you through mild terain including crossing a few shallow streams and on several amazing outlooks on the ridges. We both wore shorts and gym shoes and fit the occasion perfect. Also, you only need to wear an open face helmet and sunglasses for protection so it makes the ride a lot more comfortable. Also, if you are military, they give a GREAT discount so give them a call to make reservations.

I have participated in dolphin tours abroad twice in the past, but unfortunately, I never got to see any dolphins. This time, there was no sign of them for a while, and I started to feel anxious...

Horseback riding is the best! 乗馬最高!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I experienced the 2-hour course. The horses are very intelligent, so there is almost no safety concern even for beginners. I was able to enjoy the best moments while being gently rocked by the horse in the magnificent nature.

Since the 2-hour course does not include transportation, we took The Bus (Route 55). It's only $2.25 one way, which is a great deal! It takes about an hour and a half from Ala Moana Shopping Center to arrive right in front of the ranch. However, it seems that the Route 55 bus runs infrequently, so I recommend allowing extra time for your departure.

2時間コースを体験してきました。
馬がとても利口なので、初心者でも安全面の心配はほとんどありません。雄大な自然の中をのんびりと馬に揺られながら最高のひと時を過ごせました。

2時間コースは送迎がついていない為、私たちはザ・バス(55番)で行きました。片道2.25$なので、とってもお得です!アラモアナショッピングセンターからだいたい1時間30分弱で牧場の目の前に着きます。ただ55番のバスは本数が少ないようだったので時間に余裕をもって出発することをおすすめします。

The scenery is amazing! 景色が最高!

Reviewed by: mini

I thought two hours would be long for my first horseback riding experience, but I got used to the horse and was able to enjoy the scenery, making it just right for a relaxed time. The horse was more accustomed and smarter than I expected, so it walked properly without me needing to give too many instructions. The scenery was magnificent, and it's easy to understand why it has been used in many film shoots. Riding on a horse, rather than in a mechanical vehicle, is quiet and creates a sense of unity with nature, which feels very pleasant.

However, it's undeniable that the details of the scenery and location were hard to understand since the explanations were only in English. If it were just a matter of understanding English, that would be one thing, but since they didn't use a microphone, it was difficult to hear the voice itself. This could lead to feeling like the two hours were too long, just staring blankly at the scenery without really understanding anything. We still felt sufficiently relaxed, though.

This might depend on the guide as well. The participants (just under 20 people) walked in a single line, with staff at the front and back. Since we weren't walking closely together, both staff members needed to guide us; otherwise, we couldn't hear the explanations. Normally, both might be guiding, but this time only the staff at the front was providing guidance, so we at the back could hardly hear any explanations. The front was made up of Western participants, while the back had Japanese participants, so the guide at the back might have thought it was pointless to explain in English, but I would have preferred explanations in English as well. If that's not possible, I think it would be good to use a microphone or earphones, or provide a map explaining the walking route. If the explanations and details were clear, two hours would fly by, and the recommendation level would significantly increase.

乗馬初体験で2時間は長いかと思いましたが、馬に慣れて景色を楽しむ余裕が出て、ゆったりと過ごすには丁度良かったです。乗馬そのものについては馬のほうが慣れていて賢いので、こちらがそんなに指示しなくてもきちんと歩いてくれます。景色は壮大で、多くの映画撮影に使われたというのも納得です。機械の乗り物ではなく、馬で歩くのは静かで、自然と一体感があってとても気持ちが良いです。
ただ、英語解説のみのため景色や場所の説明の詳細が分かりにくいことは否めません。英語が理解しにくいだけなら仕方ないですが、マイクを使わないので、声そのものが聞き取りにくく、ある意味何も分からず景色をボーっと眺めながらだけの2時間になって長すぎると感じる可能性もあります。私たちはそれでも十分癒されましたが。
ただしこれはガイドさんにもよるのかもしれません。
参加者は(20人弱)一本の列になって歩き、先頭と最後尾にはスタッフがつきます。そもそも固まって歩かないため、両方のスタッフがガイドをしないと説明は聞こえないので、通常は両方行っているのかもしれませんが、今回は先頭のスタッフのみガイドをしていたので後方にいた私たちはほとんど説明が聞こえませんでした。前方は欧米参加者、後方は日本人参加者だったので、後方のガイドさんは英語で説明しても仕方ないと思ったのかもしれませんが、そこは英語でも説明をしてほしかったです。できないなら、マイクやイヤホン、歩く場所の説明MAPなどで対応しても良いと思います。説明や詳細が分かれば2時間はあっという間ですからおススメ度もかなりUPします。

The main event of this trip to Hawaii was horseback riding. Since we chose the 2-hour course, there were no other Japanese participants, which was perfect for us as we were trying to avoid Japanese people during our travels (even though I am very much Japanese myself). We also drove there with a rental car.

I felt completely at ease during the horseback riding, and above all, the scenery was absolutely stunning! As we rode through the valley, which is a filming location for Jurassic Park, it truly felt like a dream, and I was completely healed by nature. Since it seems that you can only visit this place on the 2-hour horseback riding course, I highly recommend it!

今回のハワイ旅行のメインイベントだった乗馬。
2時間コースにしたので、他の日本人は皆無で、旅行中日本人を避けている(自分はバリバリ日本人なんですけどね)私たちにはぴったり。現地へもレンタカーで行きました。
乗馬自体も全く不安なく、何よりも景色がすばらしすぎる!!ジュラシックパークのロケ地になっている渓谷を進んでいるときは、本当に夢のようで、大自然に完全に癒されました。
2時間コースでしか乗馬でここへは訪れないようなので、ぜひとも2時間コースをおすすめします☆

2-Hour Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch ATV Raptor Adventure Tour - Most Popular!

HIGHLIGHT ACTIVITY OF OAHU

Reviewed by: Vicki

My son his friend and I took the 2 hour ATV tour with Jacob as our guide. It COULDN NOT HAVE BEEN GREATER! The scenery was absolutely incredible and the ride was like being on a roller coaster ride that you have control of. Don't get me wrong it wasn't scary, it was exciting. No I'm in my 50's and I had just as much fun as my son who is 21 and our friend who is 17. This activity just can't be beat!

At first, I thought two hours might be a long time, but once I actually tried horseback riding, it felt like no time at all. Perhaps because they are used to dealing with tourists, the staff was very accommodating, and the arrangements for watching the video about horseback riding were well organized. My family of four is quite experienced with horseback riding, but even complete beginners can enjoy it safely and comfortably. Additionally, during the ride, they provide explanations in both English and Japanese about the locations (scenery) and history, which adds to the experience. We also pass through filming locations from movies like Jurassic Park and Lost, which I think would be a delight for movie fans.

最初は2時間は時間的に長いかな、と思いましたが実際乗馬をしてみればあっという間に感じました。さすがに観光客相手に慣れている為か対応や乗馬に関してのビデオを見る段取り等、うちの家族は4人共乗馬は何度も乗っていて慣れてますが、まったくの初心者でも安全、安心に乗馬が楽しめます。また乗馬中も英語、日本語で場所(景色)や歴史について説明してくれますので楽しめますし、ジュラシック・パークやLOST等のロケ地の中を通りますので映画ファンにはたまらないと思います。
