I couldn't communicate in Japanese, but I had a great time horseback riding even in the heavy rain! The people were very kind, and I felt safe riding. I want to try again on a nice day!
日本語は通じないですが、大雨でも楽しく乗馬ができました！とても優しい方々で、安心して乗れました！天気がいい日にリベンジしたい！

The 2-hour horseback riding experience flew by. The instructions were given with care, allowing me to enjoy it with peace of mind. I was able to fully immerse myself in the world of Jurassic Park.
2時間の乗馬あっという間でした。丁寧に説明していただき、安心して楽しめました。ジュラシックパークの世界観を大満喫できます

It was our family's first time horseback riding, and since the pre-ride instructions were in Japanese, even beginners could ride without any issues. Riding in such a wonderful location was fantastic. I would love to participate again next time.
家族で初めての乗馬でしたが、乗馬前のレクも日本語だったので素人でも問題なく乗馬できました。素晴らしいロケーションでの乗馬最高でした。次回もまた参加してみたいです。

Thank you for your help. I wanted to try horseback riding in Hawaii, and I really enjoyed it. The scenery was also amazing.

I wish we had set aside some time to take photos during our walk. I was disappointed that I didn't have as many pictures as I had hoped.

It was amazing. The experience of riding a horse through the magnificent scenery that felt just like the movie was truly unique to Hawaii. Walking while gazing at the jungle and mountains felt extraordinary, as if I had stepped into the world of Jurassic Park.
最高でした。

I went horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch for the first time in 10 years. The horses here are very excellent, so I was able to enjoy it without any problems.

This is the best activity where you can enjoy the magnificent scenery for two hours while riding a horse! Even as someone with very little horseback riding experience, I felt at ease because the guide was attentive. Simple instructions like "kick" were given in Japanese. It was a bit troublesome that the helmet didn't fit well due to my typical Japanese head shape, but overall, I was satisfied!
雄大な景色を2時間も馬に乗って楽しめる最高のアクティビティです！
乗馬経験がほとんどない自分でもガイドさんがよく見ていてくださるので安心して乗れました。「蹴ってください」など、簡単な指示は日本語で言ってくれました。
典型的な日本人の頭の形なのでヘルメットが合わなかったのは困りましたが、総じて満足です！

The area were we rode was still wet and muddy. I got a horse who refused to move so was led the entire ride. The Dole plantation party of the tour was too short and the place wasn't even open yet when we arrived, cutting into our time there. The town we visited on the way back was just a time sick, although we found a great burger place to eat lunch. I would not recommend.
Thank you for joining our tour. Hawaii has experienced continued bad weather this year, and there have been occasions when the horseback riding tour had to be canceled due to weather conditions. We sincerely apologize regarding the amount of time spent at Dole Plantation. We have reconfirmed the schedule with the driver to help prevent this from happening again. Please note that the stop in Haleiwa Town is part of tour itinerary. We understand that it may not have matched your expectations, and we appreciate your feedback.
My wife and I have been here for the second time, but it was great to see our daughter enjoy it for the first time. She said it was the most fun two hours ever... as a father, that makes me feel amazing.
私と嫁は2回目でしたが初めての娘が喜んでくれて良かったです。こんな楽しい2時間は無かった…と言ってくれて父親としては最高です。

This was my third horseback riding experience in Hawaii, and it was my first time at this location. The course still showed some effects from the flooding, but the instructors were very friendly, making for a highly satisfying ride.
Due to the flooding in March 2026, I couldn't find the entrance sign mentioned in the VELTRA description, which made parking a bit confusing. The entrance is marked by a gate that says something like "No beach visitors."
The instructors shared various stories about the horses, including their relationships with each other and what they used to do. It's clear that they care deeply for each horse.
Additionally, there was a forecast predicting bad weather around the end of our reservation time, so they started the tour 30 minutes early. As the instructor predicted, we finished before the weather turned bad.
After the ride, we were able to give the horses grass snacks and carrots.
Overall, I had a very enjoyable time.
ハワイでは3回目の乗馬で初めて行く場所でした。
洪水の影響がまだ残るコースでしたが、インストラクターの方たちがとてもフレンドリーで、満足感の高い乗馬でした。
2026年3月の洪水の影響か、VELTRAの説明にあるような入り口の看板は見当たらず駐車する際少し迷いました。”No beach visitors”的な文言が書いてあるゲートが入り口です。
馬同士の関係や、元々何をしていた馬たちなのかなどいろんな話を聞かせてくださいました。1匹1匹の馬をとても大切にしていることがわかります。
また予約終了時間時の天気が怪しくなる予報が出ており、30分前倒しでツアーを始めいただきました。インストラクターさんの予想通り、天気が悪くなる前に終了することができました。
乗馬の後には草のおやつやにんじんをあげることができました。
総じて大変楽しい時間を過ごせました。

The horses were well-trained, which made me feel very safe while riding. My family of four experienced this together, and it was interesting to see that the horses also have their own relationships; they seemed to have preferences, as some horses didn't get along well and couldn't maintain a good distance from each other.
Unfortunately, due to several days of heavy rain, we couldn't follow the usual course, and the actual time spent riding was less than an hour, which was disappointing.
よく調教されているお馬さん達で、とても安心して乗馬することができました。
家族4人で体験しましたが、それぞれの馬同士も相性があるらしく、嫌いな馬とは上手く距離がとれなかったりと、人間関係ならぬ馬関係も垣間見れ面白かったです。
何日かひどい雨が続いていたこともあり、通常のコースを歩くことができなかった為か、実際に馬に乗っていた時間は1時間にも満たなかったのが残念でした。

This was my second time participating at my daughter's request. As always, it's a pleasure to ride slowly on horseback amidst the magnificent scenery. Some horses stop along the way, but generally, they walk on their own. Last time, we went all the way to the spot with Godzilla's footprints, but this time we turned back before reaching there. I'm not sure if last time was special or if the course has changed. However, I had another great time.
娘のリクエストで2回目の参加。
相変わらずの壮大な景色の中、馬に乗ってゆっくり進んでいくのは気持ちがいいです。
途中で止まっちゃう馬もいますが、基本的に馬が勝手に歩いていってくれます。
前回はゴジラの足跡がある所まで行ったんですが、今回はそこまで行かずにUターン。
前回が特別だったのか、コースが変わったのかは不明。
でもまた良い時間を過ごせました。
There are also options like buggies, bicycles, and buses, but riding a horse for two hours is quite rare, so I recommend it.
他にもバギーや自転車、バスなどの選択肢がありますが2時間も馬に乗ることは中々ないのでおすすめです。

I went horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain, but they provided raincoats, which was a big help. The ground was muddy due to the rain, but the horses walked carefully, so there was no danger, and I was able to enjoy it. The two hours flew by. I participated in my 60s, and it was great. Thank you very much.

I participated with a friend. Riding horses through the magnificent scenery was an experience beyond my imagination. The weather was perfect, with the sea, mountains, wind, and sunshine all being amazing! Next, I want to ride a buggy.

We went by rental car from Waikiki. The riding time was just right, not too long and not too short. The staff doesn't speak Japanese, but they show a simple Japanese video explanation. The horses are very smart, so there are no worries or problems at all. We were blessed with good weather, and the scenery was magnificent and beautiful.

I had such a great experience eight years ago that I can honestly say I came to Hawaii just for this. The course has changed a bit since my last visit, and it was nice to see different places. There was a photographer who took pictures of each person, and they were available for purchase afterward. This time, the guide took photos with their own phone during the ride, and I received them via AirDrop afterward. The photos turned out really well. There are no guides who speak Japanese. Since the horseback riding lasts for two hours, if you're concerned about sunburn, it's essential to apply sunscreen on your face as well.
8年前に体験してとても良かったので、今回はこの為にハワイへ来たと言ってもいいくらいです。
前回とコースが少し変わっていてまた違うところを見れて良かったです。
カメラマンがいて一人一人写真を撮ってくれ、終わったあと販売されているのですが、今回のガイドさんは、途中でご自身の携帯カメラで写真を撮ってくれ、終わったあとAirDropで貰えました。とても良い写真でした。
日本語を話せるガイドさんはいません。
2時間の乗馬なので、日焼けを気にされる方は顔にも日焼け止め必須です。
Crossbody bags are also not allowed, but during the horseback riding, they lent me a small bag that can be hung on the handle (saddle horn) in front of the saddle. I was able to put my smartphone and

Riding horses in the breathtaking nature was truly enjoyable. If you want to fully appreciate the great outdoors, I believe horseback riding is better than taking a buggy. It's completely fine even for beginners. Basically, all the horses are calm and well-behaved. Occasionally, there were some that didn't have a muzzle and would nibble on the grass along the way...
However, the saddles on all the horses tended to shift. The initial setup wasn't very good, which put a lot of strain on my knees, and after getting off the horse, it was tough to walk for a while. But since I love horses, I was able to ride a lot and had a great time.
At Kualoa Ranch, there are staff members at the main reception and guides who can speak Japanese, which is very kind and reassuring.
圧巻の大自然のなかでの乗馬は本当に楽しかったです。大自然をゆっくり堪能するなら、バギーより乗馬だと思います。初めてでも全然問題ないです。基本的に馬はみんな大人しくてお利口さんばかり。たまに口輪をしていない子は、道草を食ってしまっていましたが…。
ただ、どの馬の鞍もずれてきてしまうんですよね…もともとのセッティングがあまり上手くなくて、膝にすごく負担がかかり下馬後、しばらく歩くのが辛かったですが、馬が好きなのでたっぷり乗れて楽しめました。
クアロアランチはメイン受付や案内のスタッフにも日本語が話せる方がいて、すごく親切で安心です。
At Kualoa Ranch, not just for the horseback riding course, the check-in time is very early. I've also heard that they are very strict about being late.

I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon, and it seemed like such a fun experience that I made a reservation! The guide mostly spoke English, but I was able to watch an explanation video in Japanese before the horseback riding, so I understood most of it!
All the horses were smart, and even beginners could enjoy it safely. The scenery was amazing, and I really feel like I made a great choice in booking this. It became a wonderful memory!

On the day of the event, there was a storm, but it seemed they were going to proceed even in heavy rain. Since the kappa costume only covers the upper body, the lower half will get soaked down to your underwear, and your shoes will be drenched. It's better to bring a change of clothes.

You can enjoy horseback riding while taking in the stunning views of the beach in Haleiwa. Each horse is well-trained and responds perfectly to commands. The view from atop the horse is fantastic. The instructor was cheerful and always attentive. It was also a nice touch that they provided photos taken during the ride. However, the time for exploring Haleiwa was short, and it was a bit disappointing that we only had enough time to eat.
ハレイワの海辺の絶景を眺めながら乗馬ができます。どの馬も慣れていて、きちんと指示通りに動いてくれます。馬上からの眺めは最高です。インストラクターの方は陽気で常に気をつかってくれました。道中撮った写真を配信してくれるのも嬉しいサービスです。ただ、ハレイワ散策の時間は短く、食事するだけでいっぱいなのはちょっと残念でした。
Since horseback riding is just a slow walk, advanced riders might find it unsatisfying.
乗馬はゆっくり歩くだけなので、上級者は物足りないかもしれません。

These horses are treated with love you can tell! They were very calm during our ride.
You can experience it if you can give simple instructions to the horse. It was a very valuable experience. However, in the sample photos of the experience, it looks like you could go deeper, but in reality, you only go around a large rock.

I was nervous until I joined, but the video explanation in Japanese and having instructors at the front and back made me feel at ease. It was a bit funny that everyone was called by their horse's name during the ride. The horses were well-trained and followed the horse in front without breaking the line, so I didn't have to worry much about handling the reins. After about the first five minutes, my tension eased, and I was able to enjoy the magnificent scenery. It was an extraordinary experience, like stepping into a movie. Thank you for the wonderful program; I would love to participate again!
参加するまでは緊張していたのですが、日本語でのビデオ説明や、先頭と一番後方にインストラクターが付いてくれるので安心できました。乗馬中はお馬さんの名前で皆さん呼ばれていたのがちょっと面白かったです。お馬さんもよく調教されていて、決して列を乱すことなく前を歩くお馬さんの後に勝手に付いて行ってくれたので、心配していた綱捌きが必要な場面はあまりありませんでした。最初の５分程度で緊張感もほどけて、あとは雄大な景色を満喫。映画の中に入り込んだような非日常の体験を得られました。素敵なプログラムをありがとうございました、また参加したいです！

I was healed by the vast nature and the cuteness of the horses. The staff accompanying the horseback riding tour spoke the necessary Japanese, making the instructions easy to understand. After arriving, I had some time before check-in, so I brought breakfast and ate it. The driver was very talkative in the car early in the morning, which was a bit annoying.

The café at Kualoa Ranch was just okay in terms of taste, so it's better to either bring your own lunch or eat after returning to Honolulu.

I was worried about whether it would be okay to go horseback riding for two hours at the age of 70, but the guide's instruction was excellent and focused on safety. The two hours flew by. It's just a shame that I didn't get to see any dinosaurs. If I go to Oahu again, I will definitely experience horseback riding again.

One tour had five different activities mixed together, which caused the return time to be delayed by one hour.

The course has changed since I experienced it a year ago, and we couldn't get close to the movie filming locations. The scenery was amazing, but I preferred the previous course. Although there was a shuttle service, the gap between the bus arrival/departure times and the experience was too long. It seems that for the 11:30 start time, the bus leaves just before that. I took a stroll on a nearby beach, but even then, I felt a bit at a loss for what to do.
