Considering the transportation, costs, and time spent in Hawaii, I honestly hesitated before making the reservation. However, my experience was truly amazing, and I was able to enjoy a luxurious time in Hawaii! The scenery and interaction with the horses were unique, and I felt genuinely healed while riding and feeling the warmth of the horses (*^^*).
We debated on transportation, but we decided to rent a car. We were able to stop by shops in Haleiwa and enjoy garlic shrimp from a food truck (it was emotional to have it again after 15 years!) and also visited the Dole Plantation, making for a very fulfilling day that included horseback riding. The instructor spoke entirely in English, but explained things clearly with gestures. The horses were very well-behaved, and we enjoyed a relaxed ride while only lightly holding the reins (^^).
The entrance by car was a bit tricky to find, but once you see the arena, slow down a bit, and you'll find the gate. After entering through the first large gate, you'll soon see the horses. We changed into shoes in the car (my husband wore sneakers, while my daughter and I wore compact flat shoes with belts to avoid bulky luggage) and prepared by signing in and borrowing helmets and storage for our belongings. The storage was a pocket-style that could be placed on the horse's back, fitting a phone, camera, and even a small water bottle. We also got to take photos by the beach, which made for wonderful memories! (The instructor called out at just the right moments.)
We wore long pants, but there was no worry about getting dirty while riding, so we could go shopping afterward. (Since there was a bit of sand blowing, it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes if you're concerned.) The daytime was fantastic, but I imagine the sunset would offer even more beautiful scenery, so I hope to experience it again!
The theme of this trip was to experience things that can only be done in Hawaii, and this horseback riding experience was perfect for that, creating the best memories for our family! Thank you so much to the wonderful instructor and the adorable horses ( ´ ▽ ` ) mahalo!
現地までの移動やお値段、ハワイでの滞在時間を考えた際、申し込みまで正直悩みました。しかし実際体験できての感想は、本当に贅沢なハワイ時間を過ごすことができて最高でした!!まさしくここでしか経験できない景色とお馬達との触れ合い、乗せてもらってお馬さんの温もりを感じながら本当に癒されました(*^^*)
移動手段で悩みましたが私達はレンタカーで向かい、ハレイワのお店やワゴンのガーリックシュリンプ(15年振りに食べれてそれも感動でした!)やドールプランテーションにも立ち寄れたので乗馬を含めとても充実した1日になりました。
先生はオール英語ではありますが、ジェスチャーなども交えながら分かりやすく説明してくれます。先生についていく感じで本当にお利口なお馬さん達でこちらは手綱を軽く持つ程度でゆったり乗馬を楽しめました(^^)
車での入り口が少し分かりづらいですが競技場がみえてきたら少しゆっくり走行していくとゲートがあり1つ目の大きなゲートの次のところを入っていくとすぐお馬達がみえる感じです。車で靴をシューズ(主人はスニーカー、私と娘は荷物がかさばらないよう少しコンパクトになるベルト付きのフラットシューズ)に履き替え、乗る前にサイン、ヘルメットと荷物入れを借りて準備します。荷物入れはお馬さんの背中に置かせてもらえるポケット式のもので携帯やカメラ、小さいものであれば水筒も入るサイズです。途中浜辺のところで写真も撮ってもらえて最高の記念になりました!!(程よいタイミングで先生が声を掛けてくれます)
服装は長ズボンになりますが乗った際に汚れてしまうようなことはなくそのまま買い物などできました。(若干砂が舞うので気になる方は着替えを持参されるといいかもです)
日中も最高でしたがサンセットの時間はさらにいい風景なのだろうと思うので、また体験できたらと思いました!
ハワイでしか体験できないことをが今回の旅行のテーマだったので、こちらでの乗馬体験はまさしくそれにぴったりで、家族の最高の思い出になりました!!
素敵な先生、そして可愛いお馬さん達、本当にありがとうございました( ´ ▽ ` )mahalo!

You can enjoy the breathtaking views of Kualoa while riding a horse.
The horse knows the route well, so you basically don’t have to do much to keep moving forward.
The local staff provides explanations, but I couldn’t understand what they were saying in English; however, during that time, you can enjoy the stunning scenery.
The views had a power that photos just can't capture.
You can also have photos taken, so I was satisfied.

I participated because my daughter invited me! I had some anxiety about riding the free-range horses, but before we mounted, there was a video explanation in Japanese covering the precautions. We were paired up in groups of six, with two instructors who occasionally checked in on us, and they spoke a bit of Japanese! The horse I rode seemed to be a veteran that suited me well; it was very cautious, allowing me to ride comfortably. It was a very enjoyable two hours.

I wanted to experience activities other than the beach in Hawaii, so I participated in this tour. It was great to have round-trip transportation included since it was too far to go on my own from Honolulu.
After the shuttle bus arrived, the process was as follows: voucher handover → waiting → experience → waiting → boarding the return bus. Communication was primarily in English, but there were no difficult interactions, so I didn't have any issues.
During the waiting times, you have free time to explore the souvenir shops and a simple food court in the park.
The horseback riding lasts about two hours, which can make your backside sore, but I was very satisfied as it's not often you get the chance to ride through such beautiful nature for an extended period. The horses are well-trained, and while they provide a brief introduction to basic riding techniques, it's mostly just about enjoying the ride without any complicated tasks.
ハワイで海以外のアクティビティを体験したいと思い参加しました。ホノルルから自力で行くには、遠すぎるので往復送迎付きでよかったです。
送迎バスの到着後にバウチャーの引き渡し→待機→体験→待機→帰りのバスに乗車の流れで、基本的には英語でのやりとりとなりますが、難しい対応はないので困ることはありません。
待機の時間帯は自由行動で、園内のお土産屋さん、簡単なフードコート等で時間を潰せます。
乗馬は2時間くらいのため、お尻が痛くなりますが、大自然の中を馬で長い時間散策する機会はないので大変満足しています。訓練された馬なので、簡単な調教方法はレクチャーされますが、基本的には乗っているだけで難しいことはありません。

When I arrived at the meeting place, I could see the popularity of Kualoa with a large group tour. (It seems that participants in other adventures at Kualoa Ranch were also present, not just for horseback riding.)
Upon arrival, I was directed to the Japanese-speaking group, where explanations were provided in Japanese. When I went to the horseback riding area at the meeting time, I was in a group with five Americans and myself. I was guided to watch a Japanese explanation video, and then we set off on a two-hour tour with the other five.
The staff selected horses that seemed well-suited to each person's physique and age.
During the two-hour journey, they frequently asked if I was okay. Being Japanese, I answered "I'm fine," but the other Americans openly expressed their discomfort, mentioning knee and back pain. When I mentioned that my knee was slightly hurting, they adjusted the stirrup length for me. Once my foot position was lowered and my knee was slightly extended, it became quite comfortable. So, if you feel any discomfort while riding, I think it’s good to communicate that without hesitation.
They provided explanations of the scenery along the way, but since the six horses were walking somewhat apart, it was difficult for me to hear the staff's voice from the back of the group. With my English skills, it was hard to catch the faint English being spoken, so I focused on enjoying the magnificent scenery while horseback riding. Nevertheless, the staff (two staff members accompanied our group of six) checked in with questions like, "Is this your first time in Hawaii?" and "How's the horseback riding?" showing their care.
The two hours were quite ample, allowing me to fully enjoy Kualoa. The hamburger made with ranch beef and the sorbet frozen in coconut shells were delicious!
集合場所に行くと大人数のツアーで、クアロアの人気ぶりがうかがえました。(乗馬だけでなく、クアロア牧場で行う他のアドベンチャーの参加者も一緒のようです)
到着すると、日本人の方はこちらへ、と言われ、日本語で解説がありました。集合時間に乗馬の場所に行くと、5人の米国人と私1人が1つのグループ。私だけ日本語の解説動画を見るよう案内され、それから他の5人と一緒に2時間のツアーに出発。
スタッフがそれぞれの体格や年齢層に合わせて相性の良さそうな馬を選んで乗せてくれる感じでした。
2時間の行程の途中で、たびたび大丈夫?と聞いてくれるので、日本人的に「大丈夫」と答えていたのですが、他の米国人達は膝が痛いとか腰が痛いとか遠慮せずに色々言っているので、私も膝が少し痛む旨伝えたところ、あぶみの長さを調整してくれました。足の位置が下がって膝が少し伸びるとかなり快適になったので、乗馬中に身体の痛みなどが気になったら、遠慮せず伝えてみると良いと思います。
途中途中で風景の説明などをしてくれましたが、6名の馬がやや離れて歩いているので、一番後ろの私の位置では声が遠く、私の英語力ではかすかに聞こえる英語を聞き取るのは難しかったので、あまり気にせず雄大な風景にどっぷりつかって乗馬を楽しみました。それでもスタッフの方は(6人グループに2人のスタッフがついてくれます)ハワイは初めて?とか、乗馬は?とか色々声をかけて気遣ってくださいました。
2時間はかなりたっぷりな時間で思う存分クアロアを楽しめました。
牧場ビーフを使ったハンバーガーや、ココナッツの殻に凍らしてあるシャーベットなど、美味しかったです!

During the horseback riding, the guide was earnestly explaining various stories related to the scenery. I couldn't understand much since I don't speak English, but I felt that those who could understand English would have enjoyed it even more.
My horse seemed to be older and was tired during the latter half, walking slower than the other participants. On steep inclines, it almost slipped, and since it’s a living creature, I couldn't rush it. However, I was also mindful not to fall too far behind, as it could inconvenience the other participants.
Overall, the horses were calm and knew the route, so even though it was my first time riding, I was able to complete the course without any issues.
After the horseback riding, I appreciated that the guide shared the photos he took along the way via AirDrop.
乗馬中、ガイドさんが色々と景色にまつわるエピソードを一生懸命説明してくれていた。自分は英語が話せないのでほぼ理解できずだったが、英語がわかる人ならさらに楽しめたんだろうなと感じた。
自分の乗った馬が高齢なのか後半は疲れており、他の参加者の列より遅れて歩いていた。
傾斜のきついところではすべりそうになったりしており、生き物なので無理に急かすこともできず、かといって遅れすぎると他の参加者の迷惑にもなるので、気を遣った。
馬は総じて大人しく、道も覚えているので、初めての乗馬だったが問題なくコースを回ることができた。
乗馬終了後、ガイドさんが道中に撮ってくれた写真をAir Dropで共有してくれたのがありがたかった。

We participated with three middle and high school students and my spouse. Although it was a long two hours, the scenery was beautiful, and the horses were very smart, making it an enjoyable experience. Once you start riding, it's non-stop for two hours. Make sure to use the restroom beforehand. Also, if you're not comfortable with hard seats, you might experience pain in your buttocks or the tops of your legs towards the end. I also felt some discomfort in my rear during the latter part. My wife and two children rated it as the best activity of our trip. The guide hardly spoke any Japanese, but I think if you watch the Japanese explanation video beforehand, it shouldn't be a problem for those who don't understand English regarding horseback riding. Additionally, only waist bags are allowed while riding. Other types of bags should be stored in nearby paid coin lockers or left at the reception desk (we had to leave ours at the reception due to a locker malfunction, so it's best to avoid bringing valuables).
There is an English sign at the dismounting area that says, "If you enjoyed and are satisfied, please consider tipping." I think a tip of around 15% is generally expected.
中高生3人と夫婦で参加。2時間という長時間ですが景色も良く、お馬さん達も大変賢く楽しむ事ができました。一度乗馬すれば2時間ノンストップです。トイレはしっかりと事前に済ませましょう。また、硬い椅子が苦手な方は後半お尻や足の付け根が痛くなります。当方も後半お尻が痛くなりました。妻と子供2人からは旅行中のアクティビティとしては最高評価でした。ガイドさんはほぼ日本語は通じませんが、事前の日本語説明ビデオを見れば英語が分からない方でも乗馬に関しては問題ないと思われます。また、乗馬の際にはウエストバックのみ着用可能です。他の形状のバック類は近くの有料のコインロッカーか、受付フロントに預けましょう(私たちはロッカー故障で仕方なく受付預かりにしました、極力貴重品は持って行かない方がいいです)。
「楽しめて満足できたらチップをよろしくね」と馬から降りる場所に英字の看板があります。原則15%~程度ののチップは必要かと思います。

At Kualoa Ranch, there are tours available by buggy, bus, and bicycle, but exploring the vast landscape on horseback is truly exceptional. You can take photos with your phone using one hand, as long as you keep your left hand on the reins, but it's a good idea to prepare something to hang around your neck for added security. Additionally, large backpacks and hats will need to be stored in coin lockers that allow for multiple entries. Regarding horseback riding abroad, there are Japanese-language explanations provided in advance, and the horses are familiar with the tour routes, so I think beginners will be just fine. (This may not be limited to this experience, but in general, for beginner horseback riding, it doesn't feel like you are controlling the horse.)
クアロア牧場自体は、バギー、バス、自転車で回るツアーもありますが、広大な風景を馬で回るのは格別です。携帯での写真撮影は左手を離さないことを条件に片手での撮影可能ですが、首から下げるものを準備などしておくと安心です。なお、大きなリュック、帽子などは、何度も出し入れ可能なコインロッカーに入れる事になります。海外での乗馬と言う事に関しては、日本語の事前解説も準備されており、更に、馬さんは、見学ルートに慣れているので初心者でも大丈夫だと思います。(これに限ったことではないと思いますが、初心者向け乗馬全般的に、操作して馬を操っていると言う感覚ではない)

I made a reservation in the morning and had an experience.
First, regarding the start time, it's not a day off even if no one is there; it's just that the tour hasn't returned yet, so it's okay to wait. Hawaii is relaxed about time! Don't worry about it.
Children can ride alone, making it a great experience. You can leisurely sway on the horse and enjoy the nature of Hawaii.
Since you can't gallop, it might be a bit lacking for those seeking excitement, but the beach horseback riding was very nice.

The location was a bit hard to find, but we were able to get there with the help of a taxi driver using Google Maps. I went with my family, and my college and high school kids also enjoyed it. We were able to take a leisurely stroll by the seaside, and it was a priceless time that created wonderful memories. There are only portable toilets, so I think it's better to take care of that beforehand. Bottled water and soda are sold in the waiting area, but they are a bit overpriced, so it's better to bring your own or take a tumbler. Valuables and bottled drinks can be placed in the horse's luggage pocket. Other bags can be left on the shelf in the waiting area, and there is no security for them.
場所が少しわかりにくかったけどタクシーの方にGoogleマップ見てもらって行けました。家族で行きましたが、大学生、高校生の子供達も楽しんでました。海辺をゆっくり散歩できて、とてもプライスレスな時間が過ごせていい思い出になりました。おトイレは簡易トイレしかないので済ませてきた方がいいと思います。ペットボトルのお水とソーダは数本待合室に売ってますが、割高なのでできれば持参かタンブラーを持って行った方が良いです。貴重品やペットボトルはお馬さんの荷物用ポケットに入れられます。その他のバッグは待合室の棚に置いておく感じでセキュリティ制はありません。

I did a 2-hour horseback riding tour at Kualoa Ranch (with transportation included). Upon arrival, everything was in English for check-in and facility guidance. I had a reservation at 12:00 and arrived around 11:30, where I received a general briefing before heading to each activity. They advised us to arrive at least 15 minutes early, and if you were even a little late, they would start without waiting. Before that, I was told to put my backpack and other belongings in a locker, but the available lockers were broken and empty... With only five minutes left until the meeting time, I was anxious, but I explained the situation to the staff who gave the briefing and was able to hand my things directly to them. I accidentally left my valuables inside, which worried me, but they were returned safely after the tour. There is a small pouch holder on the horse's saddle, so you can put a small pouch (about the size of a sacoche) and water there. Having a strap to hang your smartphone on your shoulder makes it easy to take photos. The guide spoke English but also made an effort to communicate in broken Japanese, which was nice. The sunlight was incredibly strong, so I should have worn a long-sleeve shirt. It was scorching. Overall, it was a great experience to enjoy the stunning scenery for a relaxed two hours!

The scenery was very beautiful, and the horses were adorable, making it an unforgettable experience! Important instructions were given in Japanese, such as "Please go right" and "Kick! Kick!" I would love to experience it again.
送迎バスを利用するとバス待ち時間ぎ長い、とこちらのレビューで読んだので、Uberで行きました。片道50ドルくらいでした。さっと行けて帰られてよかったです!
ロッカーに荷物を預けるのに5ドル必要でしたが、ビザカードかマスターカードのみ!アメックスカードと現金しかなかったため、受付の方に相談したところ、預かってもらえました。
とてもきれいな景色で、馬もかわいくて、忘れられない体験となりました!大切なことは日本語で指示してくれました。「右に行ってください」「蹴って!蹴って!」など。もう一度体験してみたいです。

During the activity, the staff took photos for us, but when I received them via email, the image quality was poor, making it difficult to recognize faces, which was disappointing. Maybe it was because I was using an Android? However, after returning to my home country, I received high-quality photos.
At first, it felt like we were walking among the trees, which made the time seem a bit long, but once we reached the area where we could see the ocean, the scenery was beautiful and refreshing. The footprints of Godzilla and the canyon from Jurassic Park were particularly impressive. I could see a line of 4WD vehicles from other tours, which looked just like a scene from the Jurassic movie.
For safety reasons, video recording was not allowed, but taking photos was fine. We were allowed to bring about two small bags. Larger items should be stored in lockers or the vehicle. It might be good to have a small bottle of water with you.
After returning to Japan, I really wanted high-quality photos from the tour, so I emailed the contact who had reached out right after the tour and asked if they could send me higher quality photos as attachments. They sent them right away, which truly impressed me.
アクティビティの途中でスタッフの方が写真をとってくれますが、メールで受け取ったら画像の画素数が悪く、顔の判別が不可能な感じでがっかりでした。アンドロイドだからかな?でも、帰国後に高画質の写真をいただけました。
最初は木々のなかをいく感じでちょっと時間を長く感じましたが、海がみえるあたりから景色がとてもよくて気持ちよかったです。ゴジラの足跡、ジュラシックパークの渓谷。
特に他のツアーの4WDの車列がみえ、それが、あのジュラシックの映画のワンシーンのようです。
安全のためビデオ撮影は不可で、写真は大丈夫でした。荷物はポシェット2つ分くらい持ち込み可能でした。大きな荷物はロッカーか車にしまっていきましょう。小さな水があるといいかも。
日本に帰国後、やっぱり高画質のツアー中の写真がほしくてツアー直後にメールをくれた先にメールでもっと高画質の写真でメールに添付してほしいとお願いしたら、すぐに送ってくれました。これには本当に感激しました。

Unlike Japanese riding clubs that use racehorses, the horses here are gentle and calm, so I wasn't scared at all. The scenery, with both the sea and mountains, was stunning and breathtaking. I don't think you could ride for two hours in Japan for this price. It's a great deal.
競馬の馬を使用している日本の乗馬クラブとはぜんぜんちがって、やさしくておとなしい馬なのでぜんぜん怖くなかったです。景色は海も山もすばらしくて圧巻でした。日本で2時間乗馬したらこんな値段でできないと思う。めっちゃお得。

When I arrived at Kualoa Ranch by bus, it was drizzling, and at times it got stronger, so I was worried about whether we could enjoy the experience. However, after borrowing a raincoat, it cleared up and I was able to comfortably participate in the tour!
There was one instructor and about six participants, including myself, and we rode horses for about an hour and a half. We were able to enjoy the vast nature while visiting the filming locations of movies. The horses were very well-behaved and participated in the tour calmly, mostly without needing much direction from us.
The tour was conducted in English. Before participating, there were staff members who spoke Japanese, so they confirmed the meeting place and time for me, allowing me to join without any trouble or confusion!
After the horseback riding, we had some time before the return bus, so I looked at souvenirs and bought some drinks and ice cream to enjoy.
バスでクアロアランチに着いた時はパラパラ雨が降っていて、時に強くなることがあったので体験ができるか心配していました。カッパを貸してもらって出発後は晴れて来て、快適にツアーに参加できました!
インストラクターさん1人と、私含め6名の参加者と約1時間半ほど?乗馬をしました。
映画の舞台を巡りつつ、広大な自然に癒されました。
お馬さんもとてもお利口で、ほとんどこちらの操作?なしでも一列で並んで穏やかにツアーに参加できました。
ツアー中は英語での参加でした。
参加前は日本語対応のスタッフもいてくれたので、集合場所や時間を確認して教えてくださり、困ったり迷わず参加することができました!
乗馬後帰りのバスまでに時間があったので、お土産を見たり、飲み物とアイスを買って食べたりしました。

Daddy/ daughter time horseback riding. I asked my daughter tonight on our last day of our vacation. What is your favorite on all our activities, she said Gunstock Ranch Horse back. I agree with her also. Recommended to do it when you go to OAHU… they are not as crowded like the other ranch near by… also for the money spend,
Friendly staffers.

The English was easy to understand, and it was a safe experience with a small group. The horseback riding experience in the beautiful sea of the North Shore was incredibly moving. The riding time was 1.5 hours, and it was more cost-effective than other tours with Japanese-speaking guides and transportation. We used hui car share for transportation, so after horseback riding, we were able to leisurely enjoy food walking in Haleiwa. It became a very good memory. Next time, I would like to try sunset horseback riding.
英語もわかりやすく、少人数のパーティーで安心です。ノースショアの綺麗な海での乗馬体験は、大感動でした。乗馬時間は1.5時間で、他の日本語ガイド付き送迎付きのツアーよりコスパ良です。移動はhuiカーシェアを使用したので、乗馬の後はハレイワで食べ歩きもゆっくりできました。とても良い想い出になりました。次回はサンセット乗馬を体験してみたいです。

I saw in the notes that there were people in sandals, so I thought it would be fine to go in sandals, but it wasn't. I ended up buying shoes at a souvenir shop... Please be careful.
I didn't request a shuttle and took the bus from Ala Moana Shopping Center. Along the way, an employee wearing a Kualoa T-shirt got on, which gave me a strange sense of reassurance. There were already Jurassic Park-like mountains on the bus ride, and I was amazed. The bus was extremely cold!!
When it was time for horseback riding, we gathered at the barn. When they asked about my English skills and I said I wasn't good at it, they showed us a video for Japanese speakers on a monitor. There were two other groups of customers besides us, making a total of six people for the ride. It was fun to walk through the mountains, across the fields, and see the ocean, but the main attraction, Jurassic Park, never appeared! It seems there are routes like that... I was really disappointed.
I had enough time to take pictures and videos with my smartphone.
注意事項に記載されていたことですが写真を見るとサンダルの人もいたのでまあ大丈夫だろうとサンダルで行きましたがだめでした。お土産屋さんで靴を買うことに。。。お気をつけください。
送迎は頼まず、アラモアナショッピングセンターからバスで行きました。途中でクアロアのTシャツを着た従業員の方が乗ってきたのでなんとも言えない安心感。
バスの道中ですでにジュラシックパークっぽい山がありおお~~~ってなってました。バスは異常に寒いです!!
乗馬の時間になったので小屋に集まり、英語は?と聞かれ苦手というとモニターで日本人用のビデオを見せてくれました。
私達の他に2組お客さんがいて計6人で出発。山の中を歩いたり草原を歩いたり海が見えたりと景色が変わるのは楽しかったですが、、肝心のジュラシックパークがいつまで経ってもでてこない!!そういうルートもあるようです。。すごく残念でした。
スマホで写真撮ったり動画撮ったりくらいの余裕はあります。
