The weather was wonderful, and it was a horseback riding experience while looking at the beautiful cobalt blue sea. I'm glad I was able to spend such a lovely time. I think it would have been even better if I had a little more time in Haleiwa Town.

It was my family's first time visiting Oahu Hawaii AND our first time riding horseback. And what a way to lose our horseback riding virginity! The Ranch was amazing, our guides were amazing and there's even a little petting Zoo that you can feed the goats while you wait for your tour to commence. Highly recommended!

I participated in December. I didn't have high expectations, but horseback riding in the wonderful scenery where you can see both the sea and the mountains was a valuable experience. It was very exciting to ride up the mountain slopes. I was almost a beginner at horseback riding, but I was able to ride for two hours without any issues.
There are various movie filming locations along the course, so I think movie lovers will enjoy it even more.
Although I participated in December, the weather was nice, and it was quite hot for the two hours. I recommend applying sunscreen if you decide to participate. Also, the person accompanying us during the horseback riding was not Japanese, so all the explanations about the filming locations were in English. Since you are on the horse for two hours, if you're not used to it, your butt and thighs might get sore!
12月に参加しました。
あまり期待していませんでしたが、海も山も見える素晴らしい景色の中での乗馬は貴重な体験でした。馬に乗って山の斜面を登っていくのでとてもエキサイティングでした。
乗馬はほぼ初心者でしたが、2時間問題なく乗馬できました。
コースの途中に様々な映画のロケ地があるので、映画好きの方ならなお楽しめると思います。
12月の参加でしたが天気が良く、2時間なのでとても暑かったです。参加される場合は日焼け止めを塗るのをおすすめします。
また、乗馬で付き添ってくださる方は日本人ではないので、ロケ地の説明はすべて英語でした。

Three days before the Honolulu Marathon, I was wondering if a two-hour horseback riding course would be too much. However, thanks to the very smart horses that knew the entire route and guided us expertly, I had a great time without feeling tired at all.
For a full two hours, we rode through the forest, enjoyed views of the ocean, and saw all the filming locations from Jurassic Park in the grassy valleys of the mountains.
There was plenty of time before and after, so we were able to do some shopping and enjoy a delicious lunch. It was a lot of food, so sharing between the two of us was more than enough.
Lockers are available for $5 a day, the restrooms are clean, and the air conditioning works perfectly. The staff is very friendly, and there was even a briefing in Japanese beforehand.

I found this tour when I was thinking about going to Haleiwa to eat garlic shrimp. I had also wanted to try horseback riding for a while, and riding by the beach sounded wonderful, so I signed up.
Kaz, our Japanese guide, cheerfully talked to us during the drive and introduced the scenery we saw from the car window. The other members of the tour were all nice people, and when they heard it was our honeymoon, they applauded. The horse I rode was a bit mischievous and kept moving forward, which was scary at first, but I got used to it and had a great time. There were two instructors who closely watched over us, which made me feel safe. They also took a lot of pictures along the way!
After returning to Haleiwa, we went to the garlic shrimp food truck recommended by Kaz. Thanks to him making a phone call, we were able to enjoy delicious garlic shrimp without having to wait. This gave us extra time to visit Matsumoto Shave Ice and enjoy some shops. On the way back, instead of just dropping us off at the meeting point, they took us close to our hotel. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!
ハレイワに行ってガーリックシュリンプを食べたいなぁと思っていた時に見つけたこちらのツアー。乗馬もしてみたいなと以前から思っており、海辺で乗馬なんて素敵!と思い申し込みました。
日本語ガイドのカズさんは行きの車内で明るくお話して下さり、車窓からの景色の紹介をしてくださいました。ツアーに参加されたメンバーの方も良い方ばかりで、ハネムーンというと拍手して下さいました。乗馬はやんちゃなお馬さんだったのか前へ前へと進んで最初は怖かったのですが、途中から慣れて楽しく過ごせました。インストラクターの方も2人ついてきちんとみて下さるので安心でした。途中写真も沢山撮ってくださいました!ハレイワに戻ってからはカズさんお勧めのガーリックシュリンプのフードトラックへ。電話をかけて下さっていたおかげで美味しいガーリックシュリンプを待たずに食べられました。そのおかげで時間も余裕ができ、マツモトシェイブアイスにも行け、雑貨屋さんなども楽しめました。帰りは集合場所でなく、ホテルの近くまでそれぞれ送ってくださいました。素敵な思い出となりました。ありがとうございました!
Thank you for using Island Makana Tours. We are all delighted to hear that you enjoyed horseback riding and garlic shrimp. Please consider using Island Makana Tours again when you visit Hawaii.

It was my first horseback riding experience, and it became the best memory!
Basically, there is no explanation about the area; it's an activity to enjoy the scenery and interact with the horses.
I had heard that the instructor only speaks English, but they provided necessary instructions in simple Japanese, so there were no difficulties.
The horse (Joe) was also very capable, moving forward and stopping without needing much direction.
Towards the end, my back and legs started to hurt, so that's something to be cautious about.
(I was checked on-site to ensure I was wearing shoes that covered my toes. They also mentioned that long pants are required, but there were people riding in shorts as well.)

終盤は腰や足が痛くなってくるので、その点は注意が必要です。

We participated in the horseback riding starting at 8 AM with four people. After seeing everyone's reviews, I noticed that those who had transportation included mentioned having time until the return bus, so we decided to join without transportation. We took a round trip with Hanataxi, and they picked us up on time without any issues.
None of us had horseback riding experience, and our backsides did get sore, but riding on well-trained, gentle horses while enjoying the magnificent scenery for about 90 minutes was a great experience. Our group had one instructor for every six people. Along the way, they took photos for us and sent them via AirDrop at the end, which made for a nice keepsake.
I noticed some participants were wearing shorts, but since the horses frequently relieve themselves, I recommend wearing long pants.
8時からの乗馬に4名で参加しました。皆さんの口コミを見て送迎付きだと帰りのバスまで時間があるとの事だったので送迎なしで参加しました。往復ハナタクシーで行きましたが、予約時間通りに送迎してもらい問題なかったです。
4名共に乗馬経験はなくお尻が痛くなりましたが、訓練された穏やかな馬にのり壮大な景観を見ながら約90分の乗馬はいい経験になりました。私達のグループは6名に一人のインストラクターでした。途中では写真を撮ってくださり最後にエアードロップで送ってもらえていい記念になりました。

I participated in several other tours besides Kualoa Ranch, but this one was the most fun! The guide was kind and took safety into consideration. Additionally, since it has been a filming location for various movies, I now have the enjoyment of rewatching those films after returning home.
For those who will be joining the tour:
1. I think it's easier to bring a credit card. There are gift shops and snack stands, and if you have a bag, you’ll be asked to use a coin locker for $5. Payments can be made with a credit card, which is helpful if you don't have the exact $5. If you have a waist pouch, you can ride without putting it in the coin locker.
2. It's better to use the restroom before getting on the bus. On the way there, we shared rides from different meeting points, and in my case, we stopped at two more places before heading to the ranch, which took about an hour, and I ended up needing to go to the bathroom, haha. The bus driver didn’t mention the travel time or anything like that.
As long as you keep these points in mind, you shouldn't have any issues. I highly recommend this tour!
クアロア牧場以外にも何ヶ所か別のツアーに参加しましたが、ここが一番楽しかったです!ガイドの方も優しく、安全に配慮して下さいました。また、様々な映画のロケ地になっているので帰国してから映画を見返す楽しみもできました。
これからツアーに参加される方に
①クレジットカードは持参した方が楽だと思います。ギフトショップや軽食が買える売店もある他カバンを持っている人は5ドルでコインロッカーに入れるように言われます。支払いはクレジットカードでできるのでぴったり5ドルがない時に助かります。ウエストポーチならコインロッカーに入れなくてもそのまま乗馬できます。
②バスに乗車する前にお手洗いは済ませた方がいいです。行きは、バラバラの集合場所で相乗りになり、私の時はあと2か所に停車してから牧場に向かったので着くまで1時間くらいかかり、トイレに行きたくなりました笑バスの運転手さんも所要時間などそこら辺のことは言ってくれないので。
これだけ気をつければ困ることはないと思います。本当におすすめのツアーですよ!

The weather was nice, but it was quite windy, which limited our experience time to about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Considering the horses, that couldn't be helped. Upon arrival, I received this information from a Japanese person.
According to the owner, they were willing to provide some refund, and I received a proper refund later on.
One point of dissatisfaction would be the guide after getting on the horse. It was just a tour where we walked with the horses without any explanation. I believe there are notable spots along the way, but there was no conversation, so I had no idea what was where.
They were attentive to safety, so I didn't have any concerns in that regard. The scenery was fantastic since it was sunny. It was too difficult to take photos with one hand (laughs).
For lunch, there is a place that resembles a local diner, but the menu consists mainly of heavy American items like hamburgers, fries, and corn dogs (laughs). Of course, there are snacks and salads, but they are expensive due to the weak yen.
I had bought rice balls in advance, so if you're unsure about your food preferences, I recommend bringing your own.
天気はよかったのですが、かなり風が強く、そのせいで体験時間が1時間20分ほどしかありませんでした。お馬さんたちのことも考えてそれはしかたないですね。現地に到着するとその旨を、日本人の方から相談を受けました。

1点、不満があるとすれば馬に乗ってからのガイドです。なんの説明もなく、ただ馬とてくてく散歩するツアーでした。
恐らく各名場面があるものだと思いますが、なんの会話もなかったのでどこになにがある場所なのか不明。
安全面はしっかりみてくれていたのでとくにそこの不安はなかったです。
晴れていたので景色が最高でした。片手で写真を撮るのが難しすぎる(笑)
昼食は、現地の食堂のようなところがありますがメニューはハンバーガー・フライドポテト・アメリカンドッグ…などかなりアメリカンな重いものばかりです。(笑)もちろんスナックやサラダもありますが円安で高いので…。

I couldn't book an hour of horseback riding, so I arranged for two hours instead. I recommend making arrangements early. In the end, two hours of riding was the right choice. It felt like the time flew by, and I found it a bit unsatisfying. It seems that the horse's temperament can affect the pace, sometimes being slow or well-behaved. I was a bit flustered when the horse trotted uphill, but it walks slowly. It might not be enough for those who are experienced riders. Be prepared for some soreness afterward.
1時間乗馬が取れなくて2時間乗馬を手配。早めに手配されることをお勧めします。

I joined a tour because I wanted to enjoy Hawaii's nature while riding a horse by myself. The two-hour tour went by in no time, and I had a lot of fun.
**Transportation**
Since I was traveling alone, I requested the tour's transportation service. The schedule was set, so moving around was easy. It took about 50 minutes from Honolulu one way. There are no breaks along the way, so it's best to use the restroom beforehand.
**Check-in**
When I arrived, I was told to wait on a bench, and then a local staff member who spoke Japanese came over to explain things and handed out the tour papers. The area isn’t very large, so I don’t think you’ll get lost. If you're going horseback riding, you can't bring bags that go over your shoulder, so I stored my belongings in a locker for $5 a day. A waist pouch type is okay during the ride. They lend you a small bag specifically for horseback riding, so I brought my smartphone and water.
**Two-Hour Horseback Riding Tour**
After checking in for horseback riding, I weighed in and signed a waiver. Then, I received instructions via video. The staff asked which language I preferred, so I chose Japanese! Finally, it was time to ride. The horses looked quite big up close! I was a bit worried about being able to control them, but since they are well-trained, they moved forward when I wanted them to and stopped when I wanted them to, so I hardly had to do anything. The horses remember the path, so I just had to follow along. The horse at the front kept stopping and not listening, so the guide was urging it along.
The weather was a bit bad that day, but when the clouds cleared, I could see blue skies and the scenery from the Jurassic Park movie, which was great! The guide was a local and didn’t seem to speak Japanese, but they used simple Japanese for instructions. When the horse at the front stopped and wouldn’t move, they said, “Kick your feet!” Since everyone in the group was Japanese, there wasn’t much explanation from the guide about the locations, and we all just enjoyed the scenery at a leisurely pace.
**Lunch & Shopping**
The two-hour tour ended around 11:30. The bus gathering time was at 12:45, so I had a little time to relax. The shop was small, so there weren’t many menu items, but they sold hot dogs and snacks. There were also souvenirs that could only be found in Croatia, which was fun to look at.
**Conclusion**
We got back on the bus, which took us back to the meeting point from the morning. We disbanded at 13:50. I might have felt it was a bit short if it had only been one hour, so I’m glad I chose the two-hour tour. Since we moved in a group of about five people, if the horse at the front stops, we can’t move forward, so if there are many stops, you might think, “It stops a lot.” But I guess that’s just how the horses feel, so it can’t be helped! Overall, I had a great time on this horseback riding tour, which is something you can’t easily do in Japan! The horses were smart and adorable! ♡
1人で馬に乗ってハワイの自然を満喫したいと思ってツアーに参加しました。
2時間のツアーでしたがあっという間でとても楽しめました
送迎
一人旅だったので、ツアーの送迎付きを頼みました。時間も決められているので移動は楽でした。
ホノルルから片道50分くらい。途中休憩は無いのでトイレは済ませてた方がいいです。
受付
着いたら一旦ベンチにかけといてーと言われ待ってたら「日本語での説明がいる方はこちらへ〜」と日本語が話せる現地スタッフが説明をしてくれて参加ツアーの紙を配ってくれました。敷地内はそれほど広くはないので、迷うことはないと思います。
乗馬をする場合は肩掛けするバックなどは持っていけないので、ロッカーに荷物を預けました。1日5ドル。腰にまけるポシェットタイプなら乗馬中もOK。乗馬専用の小さい袋を貸してくれるのでスマホや水は持っていきました。
2時間乗馬ツアー
乗馬の受付を済ませて、体重測定&誓約書?に署名。その後ビデオで乗馬の説明を受けます。どの言語がいい?ってスタッフさんが聞いてくれるので日本語を選択!いよいよ乗馬です。
まじかで見る馬はけっこう大きかったです!
ちゃんと操作できるかなーと、思ってたのですがきちんと訓練を受けているので前が進んだら進むし止まったら止まってくれるのでほぼ操作はいりませんでした笑
道も馬が覚えているので、ついて行くだけでOK
先頭の人の馬が、ちょくちょく止まって言うことをきいていなかったのでガイドさんに急かされてました笑
この日は天気がちょっと悪かったのですが、雲が切れたら青空もみえてジュラシックパークの映画でみた景色が見れて良かったです!
ガイドさんは現地の方だったので、日本語は喋れないみたいでしたが、指示する上で簡単な日本語は話してました。先頭の馬が止まって動かなくなったから「足蹴ってー」って指示出ししてました。
この日は全員日本人だったので特にガイドさんから場所などの解説はなくみんなゆったり景色を眺めながら歩くって感じでした。
ランチ&ショッピング
2時間ツアーが終わったのが11:30頃。バスの集合時間が12:45なので少しゆっくりでします。
お店が小さいので、あまりメニューはありませんがホットドッグやスナックとか売ってました。
お土産もクロアチアランチにしかない物もあって見ていて楽しかったです。
おわりに
バスに乗り込み、朝集合した場所まで送ってくれます。13:50解散。
1時間だけだと物足りなかったかもなので2時間ツアーにして良かったです。
5人くらいのグループで進むので、先頭が止まっちゃうと進めなくなっちゃうので止まる回数が多くなっちゃうと「よく止まるなー」って思っちゃうかもです馬の気分もあるとも思うのでそこは仕方がないかもですが笑
でも、日本ではなかなかできない乗馬ツアーですごく楽しめました!馬も賢く可愛かったです♡

It was my first time riding a horse, and the weather was nice, with the sea looking very beautiful, which was incredibly soothing. However, my horse didn't seem to get along well with me, as it stopped and wouldn't move several times, causing the people behind me to wait quite a bit. Overall, I had a very valuable experience this time, which became a great memory.
乗馬迄の車の中で運転手さんが日本語で乗り方を説明してくれました。到着後は順番に馬に乗ることが出来、散歩途中も横や後ろから別のガイドさんが着いてきてくれて立ち止まったりした時に誘導もしてくれました。初めての乗馬でしたが、お天気も良く海もとても綺麗で凄く癒されました。ただ馬との相性があまり良くなかったのか、何度も立ち止まり動かなくなってしまう子だったので後ろの人を凄い待たせてしまう事も多かったです。今回とても貴重な経験が出来たので良い思い出となりました。
Thank you for using Island Makana Tours. We sincerely look forward to your next visit.

The horses were very well trained, and even at 70 years old, I enjoyed it. The horseback riding course with views of the mountain scenery and the deep blue sea was great!
馬も大変良く調教されていて70歳の私でも楽しめました。
また、山の風景と真っ青の海を見ながらの乗馬コース良かった⤴️

When you think of Hawaii, the strong impression is often of beaches, but I've always been interested in Kualoa Ranch, which is the opposite of ocean leisure activities.
At the meeting point, a large bus welcomed us. We headed to the ranch with quite a number of people on board.
Each tour (there are many activities besides horseback riding) has a separate check-in location, where the meeting place and time are announced. After arriving, we had a two-hour wait until our horseback riding time, and after riding, we had another three hours until the bus departure, making it quite challenging to pass the time.
However, being able to ride for a full two hours to and from the canyon, which was a filming location for Jurassic Park, was an unparalleled experience.
You can buy lunch at the café within the ranch, but I think it's better to bring your own since there aren't many options available.
ハワイと言えばビーチの印象が強いですが、海のレジャーとは対極のクアロア牧場はかねてより興味がありました。
集合場所には大型バスがお出迎え。かなりの人数を乗せて牧場まで向かいます。
ツアーごと(乗馬以外にもたくさんあります)に受付場所が分かれ、集合場所と集合時間が告げられます。到着して乗馬の時間まで2時間、乗馬終了後バスの出発までさらに3時間あり、時間を潰すのがけっこう大変でした。
しかし、ジュラシックパークのロケ地であったという峡谷まで馬上でたっぷり2時間かけて往復できるのは、他にない体験でした。
ランチは牧場内のカフェでも買えますが、あまり品数がないので持参した方が良いと思います。

It was really interesting and a great experience, but I was a bit scared and felt like I might fall, so I couldn't relax. My daughter was happily taking pictures with one hand, but I couldn't do it. When we arrived, my legs and back were shaking. I felt unsteady. However, it's definitely worth experiencing at least once.
とっても面白かったし、よい体験になりましたが、少し落ちそうで怖くて、余裕がありません。娘は、るんるんで片手で写真をとってるけど、私はだめ。着いたら足も腰もガタガタ。フラフラでした。でも、一度は体験する価値あり

I was able to tour the North Shore for just over three hours, and it was really great. However, since I was participating alone, I felt some frustration with the driver's attitude and strong tone from the beginning.
3時間ちょっとノースショアを観光が出来て凄く良かったです。
ただひとりでの参加ということもあるかもしれませんが、始めからドライバーの方の態度や強い言い方にこちらも苛立ちを感じました。
Thank you for using Island Makana Tours. We sincerely apologize for any discomfort you experienced during the tour. Our driver reported that there was a request from a customer to be dropped off at the beach, but it was in a prohibited area, so we had to ask them to walk a bit. Please know that this was not due to you participating alone. We appreciate your valuable feedback and will continue to strive for improvement.
このたびはアイランドマカナツアーズをご利用頂き、ありがとうございました。ツアー中、不快な思いをさせてしまい、申し訳ございませんでした。ドライバーからも「ビーチで降車を希望されたお客様がいたが、禁止されている場所だったので少し歩かせてしまった」と事前に報告がありました。お1人でご参加のお客様だからという事は決してございません。貴重なご意見をありがとうございます。今後とも精進して参ります。

The staff was very good and patient, the horses were fine, even for the beginners, the ride was great. We had a great time and I think the 1.5 hours was just about the right timeframe. One issue I found was that when the wrangler leading a group is at the front and trying to talk to the group, it was almost impossible to understand them from the back of the group (we had 5 in our group). Don't know the answer other than having a wrangler both in front and at the rear of the group, but I know I missed out on much of the discussion.

I arrived at the location an hour early, but I passed by because the gate was already open. I was late, but I was kindly allowed to join the next group. Thank you very much.
1時間早く着くように現地へ行ったけど、ゲートが開放されてたため通り過ぎてしまいました。時間に遅れたけど、親切に次の組みに入れて頂きました。ありがとうございました。

It was amazing to spend time with them in nature! I was so happy! I have experience with horses, but it was my foreign husband's first time, and he said he had a lot of fun. I want to go again!
自然の中で彼らと過ごせて最高に!幸せでした!
私は馬歴はありますが外国人旦那さんは初めての体験でしたが
とっても楽しかったそうです。また行きたいなー

I had seen the Jurassic Park movie, and it truly felt like being in the world of the film. It was my first time riding a horse, but the horse was well-trained and there were no issues at all. I was able to enjoy the scenery in a cute and relaxed way.
ジュラシックパークの映画を見たことがありましたが、まさに映画の中の世界。
乗馬は初めてでしたが、お馬さんも慣れており全く問題なし。
可愛くてのんびりと景色を楽しむことができました。
