The meeting time was set for 1:00 PM, but the local staff arrived around 1:25 PM, so I thought it would have been fine to delay the meeting time a bit. The tour itself was enjoyable, as the instructor taught us about various fruits growing in the area and kept the mood lively. The Waipi'o Valley is also a place you can only visit through such tours, so it was very worthwhile.
PM1:00集合だったが、現地の係員が来たのがPM1:25ぐらいだったので、もう少し集合時間は遅らせてもよいと思った。
ツアー自体は、インストラクターがいろいろと生えているフルーツを教えてくれたり、気分も盛り上げてくれるので、楽しかった。
ワイピオ渓谷自体もこういったツアーでないと行けないので、非常によかった

This time, Grandpa and Grandma were on their second horseback riding experience, while the other seven were first-timers. It was a total of nine people, and the one who enjoyed it the most was a third-grade girl.
After riding and holding the reins tightly, she crossed a stream and exclaimed, "This is fun!" When she saw the fruits and beautiful flowers along the path, she said, "How lovely!" And upon seeing the waterfall in the valley, she shouted, "This is the best!" She seemed to want more than just an hour of horseback riding.
Everyone else was also moved, whether it was crossing the river or when the horse started eating grass. Grandpa and Grandma, who recommended the horseback riding, were very satisfied.
今回は、ジジ・ババは2度目、その他7名は初めて。合計9名での乗馬体験でしたが、一番喜んだのは小3女の子。
乗馬して、手綱をしっかりホールドしたら小川を渡ると「楽しい-」、道脇の果物・綺麗な花を見たら「素敵!」、渓谷の滝を見たら「最高!」と大声を張り上げて、乗馬の楽しさを満喫し乗馬1時間では物足りない様子。
他の人達も、川を渡る時、馬が草を食べ始めた時全てが感動の連続で、乗馬を勧めたジジ・ババは大満足。

I was a bit anxious about the English guide, but the guide was great, and I was able to enjoy myself with a little Japanese. Horseback riding was a first experience for my whole family, and I thought we might need a bit of practice, but we were just taught how to ride and control the horse, and then we started riding. It turned out to be a really fun time.
After about two hours of horseback riding, my groin started to hurt. Also, the microbus ride to Waipi'o was enjoyable.
英語ガイドで少し不安がありましたが、ガイドの方が良く、少しの日本語で楽しく過ごせました。乗馬は家族全員が初めての体験で少しは練習がるのではと思いましたが、馬に乗る方法やコントロールする方法を教えて頂いただけで、乗馬開始、でもすごく楽しい時間を過ごすこととができました。

I went horseback riding in Waipi'o Valley, which is considered a sacred place for the people of Hawaii. We drove down a narrow, steep slope in a 4WD vehicle and rode horses in a secluded area that felt almost like a jungle. After a brief explanation, we got right into riding. We crossed a river and went through the forest; it truly felt like an adventure. My horse was named Sweet Oakley. He was well-trained and listened carefully to the instructions. My 8 and 11-year-old children also had a great time.
ハワイの人々にとっての聖地とされるワイピオ渓谷で乗馬しました。4WDの車で細くて急な坂を下り、ほぼジャングルのような人気の少ないところでお馬さんに乗りました。簡単な説明の後、すぐに乗馬。川をわたったり、森の中を抜けたり、まさにアドベンチャーといった感じです。スイートオーコレーという名前のお馬さんでした。きちんと調教されているので、しっかりインストラクションを聞いておくということを聞いてくれます。8歳11歳の子供たちも楽しんでました。

This was my third horseback riding experience in Hawaii. I stayed in Waikoloa and met at the location, but I had no problems getting there using the navigation. The instructions were all in English, but just like on Oahu, important commands like "Don't eat grass!" were communicated in Japanese when the horses acted freely.
While enjoying the great nature of Waipi'o Valley, we crossed rivers and observed sweet potato fields, wild coffee, and avocado trees, which provided ample riding time. By the time I got off the horse, my knees were shaking (laughs).
My dog followed along during the ride, happily going into the grass and playing in the river, which was very cute. The weather was bad, and there was heavy rain on the way to the stables, so I was worried about whether we would go ahead despite the rain gear being available, but it stopped raining by the time we set off on the horses. I would have been completely satisfied if it hadn't rained!
ハワイでは三回目の乗馬でした。
ワイコロアに宿泊していて、現地集合でしたが、ナビを使い問題なく行く事ができました。説明は全部英語でしたが、オアフ島と変わりなく、馬が自由にした時は「草食べない!」など、大切な指示は日本語で伝えてくれました。
ワイピオ渓谷の大自然を眺めながら、川を渡ったり、イモ畑、野生のコーヒー、アボカドの木など観察しなから、十分な乗馬時間でした。
馬から降りた時には膝がガクガクになっていました(笑)
飼っている犬がずっと乗馬についてきて、楽しそうに草むらの中に入っていったり、川で遊んだり、とても可愛かったです。
天気が悪く、集合場所から馬舎に向かう時に大雨で、カッパの貸し出しはあっても決行するか不安でしたが、馬に乗って出発する時には雨が止みました。雨が降らなければ大満足でした!

As a beginner, I had some anxiety about riding, but since three assistants accompanied us, I was able to ride without any issues after just learning the commands for right, left, and stop before mounting. I think it's a course that beginners can enjoy thoroughly. Although it was a tour in the rain, I had a great time. As mentioned in the comments, the helmet and raincoat had a bit of a sweaty smell, so I wore my own hat under the helmet!

I had always been unable to make a reservation for just one person, but I finally got to participate. I was a bit worried since it was only in English, but as long as I understood how to use the rope, it was fine. Even if you don't understand English, you can generally figure things out by watching the guide's movements.
I had previous experience with horseback riding, so it felt familiar. Riding the horse is fun, and there are beautiful views, including entering the river, but it was just a U-turn in a place without anything special before heading back.
It was challenging since it was sudden, but it's also possible to walk there, so I thought I would try walking next time and take it slow.
一人のためなのかいつも予約できなかったが、やっと参加できた。英語のみなので若干心配だったが綱の使い方がわかれば大丈夫。英語がわからなくてもガイドの動かしかたを見ていれば大体分かる。
乗馬自体は別途経験済みだったのでいつも通りだった。馬に乗るのは楽しいしきれいな景色もあり川に入るとかはあるが、特別なものがないところでUターンして戻ってくるだけだった。

It was a horseback riding experience in a place that is usually not accessible in Waipi'o Valley, allowing us to enjoy the magnificent nature of Hawaii, which was fantastic! The staff were very accommodating, and they made sure that even the children who couldn't speak English had a great time. (Adults should understand a little bit.) The travel time to and from the location is about 30 to 40 minutes, and the riding time is around an hour and a half, which felt just right. I want to go again!

Our family had a great time on this horse ride through the peaceful Waipi'o valley. We learned a lot about it from our very knowledgeable guides (they are also residents of the valley!). No riding experience is necessary but our 11 y.o. daughter has taken lessons, and we've done a few other, similar tours. It's all just walking pace (no trotting) but you go through small rivers and streams and see some beautiful vegetation and waterfalls. We were so glad not to have to walk the steep and dangerous path from the main (paved) road down to the valley floor where the stable is. The view from the top is spectacular! We went during an unusually dry and hot spell, so if you go after a rainfall, I'm sure it's even more incredible. What's especially nice is the tour is small (our group was 10 people), so you get highly personalized attention. Be sure to bring water, sunscreen, and bugspray! All in all, I would highly recommend.

Our driver Nathan was excellent and gave us a relaxed and informed trip and even gave us some extra insights that a book would not give. The views were amazing and gave you an option if you wanted to come back and stay for more indepth viewing. I would recommend going with a tour to really get the flavor of the Island.

The reason for meeting on-site was that it overlapped with other options we considered. The navigation system we borrowed kept saying to turn left onto a narrow forest road after entering Waipio! It looked like a path overgrown with grass. Since I had gone another route before, I ignored it and went through the town to the valley. (On the way back, it also instructed a right turn onto a suspicious forest road.) After that, once we got closer to the valley, we followed the signs and turned right to reach Artworks. Please be careful not to be misled by the navigation. The reception starts at 9 AM, so if you arrive early, there won't be any staff around, just the shopkeepers. There is road construction on the way here, causing traffic jams, but in the afternoon, it might take 10 to 15 minutes longer than in the morning (the worst is in the evening). They mentioned the construction would last for two years. It's not too serious, so there's no need to rush.
The horses had various personalities, which was interesting. Sometimes the English was fast, making it hard to catch everything, but we managed. The explanations were natural, especially about the trees, but they weren't very detailed, so I wondered if it would be more enjoyable with a Japanese guide, as my daughter, who is nearly native-level, remarked. Along the way, we crossed a small stream and encountered wild horses, making for a relaxed horseback riding experience. There's no need to worry. Just keep in mind that since you'll be on the horse for a long time, those with weak hips might find it uncomfortable later. Also, the helmet we borrowed could really use some Febreze! (laughs) Since it's a nature-filled activity, it's understandable. (laughs) Bring only the bare essentials. Also, it's better to avoid wearing new sneakers. We enjoyed a recommended lunch on the way back, making good use of our time.
現地集合にした理由は他のオプションで立ち寄ったところとかぶってしまうのでこれにしました。うちでお借りしたナビがワイピオに入ってから狭い林道に左折と言うのです!どう見ても草ぼうぼうで道?と言う感じ。一度別のオプションで行ったことがあるので、無視して町の中を通って渓谷へ行きました。(帰りも怪しい林道へ右折と指示)あとは渓谷近くなってから標識に従い右折していくとアートワークスへ行けました。皆さんはナビに惑わされないように進んでください。受付は9時からですので前についても係りの人がおらず、お店の方だけでした。ここヘ行く途中道路工事で渋滞していますが、午前よりは午後が10から15分かかるときがあります(ひどいのは夕方ですが)。工事は2年と言っていました。あまり大したことがないのであせらないでくだいね。
馬もいろいろな性格があって面白かったです。英語がはやくて聞き取れないこともありましたが、なんとかなりました。説明は自然、とりわけ樹木とかですが大した説明でないので、日本語ガイドさんだったらもっと楽しいのかな。とネイティブ並みの娘が呟いておりました。途中小川を横断したり野生の馬に出会ったり、のんびりした感じの乗馬です。心配はいりません。ただ馬にまたがるので、股関節が弱い方は長い時間なのであとでお辛くなるかな。それから、お借りしたヘルメットがファブリーズしてー!と言いたくなるほど。(泣)自然満喫アクティビティなんだから仕方ないですね。(笑)荷物は本当に最小限に。また運動靴は新しいのは避けたほうがいいですね。帰りにお勧めランチをしながら帰りました。時間を有効に使えて楽しかったです。

I participated in May, and the weather was great, making it a lot of fun. The horses were a bit young and sometimes didn’t listen, but it wasn't a problem; if I pulled the reins a bit harder, they would respond. The puppies walking alongside the horses were adorable, and all the participants enjoyed themselves. Riding was fun too, but getting to the horses involved a steep slope, and we went down a cliff with four horses, which was thrilling.

This was my first time horseback riding. We drove down to the Waipi'o Valley from the meeting point in a car driven by our guide, received a horseback riding lecture, and the guide selected horses that suited each of us. From there, we rode on our own.
At first, I was anxious, but the horses are well-trained, so while there were a few minor scuffles between them, they didn't act out in any significant way. This activity allows you to enjoy the scenery and horseback riding at a walking pace, so if you're looking to gallop, you might find it lacking.
The guide uses Japanese for words like "danger" and "single file," but explanations about the scenery and plants are in English, so if you prefer those explanations in Japanese, I recommend looking for another company.
I was able to see some precious landscapes, so I would love to participate in this activity again the next time I visit the Big Island.
乗馬はほぼ初めてでした。
ワイピオ渓谷の下までは集合場所からガイドさん運転の車で下り、乗馬のレクチャーを受け、ガイドさんがそれぞれに合った馬を選んでくれます。そこからは1人で乗馬です。
最初は不安でしたが、馬はよく訓練されているので、馬同士のちょっとした小競り合いはあるものの、特段暴れたりすることもありません。
歩く速度で景色と乗馬を楽しむアクティビティなので、馬を走らせたい方には物足りないと思います。
ガイドさんは「あぶない」「一列」などの単語は日本語で言ってくれますが、景色や植物の説明などは英語なので、そういった説明を日本語で受けたい方は別の会社を探した方がいいと思います。
貴重な風景が見られたので、次にハワイ島へ行く時もまた参加したいアクティビティです。

This was my second horseback riding experience on the Big Island, and I really wanted to go to Waipi'o Valley, so I joined my husband. I have some riding experience, so I had no problem with that, but there were eight people max, and everyone except us was from Europe or America. It was disappointing that I couldn't understand the guide's explanations about the plants. We had fun crossing streams and taking pictures in the valley's scenery. Crossing the river was thrilling, but we only walked the whole time. There was no fast walking or trotting. For that kind of riding, it seems better to go to a ranch. If you want to go to Waipi'o Valley on your own, it looks like the only option is to walk down a steep slope like the ones in Hakone, so I recommend joining a tour.

We went as a family of four with our two high school daughters. We chose this tour because it was a bit cheaper than the Japanese guide, but everyone else in the group was foreign and spoke fast English. However, the couple guiding us, Shiso and Tracy, were very attentive and engaged with us, mixing in a little Japanese to explain the horseback riding instructions. Our daughters had no problems and enjoyed horseback riding. It was a great experience to explore the Waipi'o Valley on horseback, something we wouldn't have been able to do on our own.

日本語ガイドより少し安かったのでこちらにしましたが、私達以外の参加者みんな外国の方で早い英語がとびかっていましたが、夫婦でガイドをしているシソとトレーシーが何かと気にかけてくれて話しかけてくれたり、乗馬に関する注意事項なんかは少しの日本語を混じえて説明してくれました。娘たちも何も問題なく乗馬を楽しめました。自分ではなかなか行けないワイピオ渓谷の谷を馬で散策できて良い体験ができました。
