We participated as a couple. The woman guiding us was calm and reassuring. We enjoyed a leisurely one-hour walk along a designated route overseas. Although it was November, the weather across the North Shore was poor that day, with occasional light rain.
I haven't experienced other horseback riding, but it might be lacking for those seeking an adventurous element.
- About a 1 hour and 15-minute drive from Waikiki
- Restrooms available
- There was a child around 6 years old with other customers.
夫婦二人で参加しました。
案内してくれる女性も穏やかな方で安心でした。
海外の決まったルートをのんびり1時間くらいお散歩でした。
11月でしたが、当日はノースショア全体の天気が悪く、たまに霧雨が降るような感じでした。
他の乗馬は未体験ですが、アドベンチャー的な要素を求めている方には物足りないかもしれません。
・ワイキキからレンタカーで1時間15分くらい
・トイレあり
・6歳くらいの子どももいました(他のお客様)

The horses are calm and will follow the horse in front of them along the route with almost no effort required, so I think anyone can enjoy it. The scenery was also fantastic.
馬達はおとなしく、ほぼ何も操作しなくても前の馬に着いてルートに沿って進むので、誰でも楽しめると思います。

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。
オーナー曰く、多少の返金にも対応するとのことで、後日きちんと返金対応いただきました。
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…。
おにぎりを事前に買っていたので、もし食の好みに不安なら持参することをお勧めします。

Check-in was until 8:45, and the meeting time was at 9:15.
I stepped on the scale and signed something like a waiver.

I borrowed a helmet and a storage bag!
Around 9:30, they helped me choose a horse that suited me, and we set off. From this point, I couldn't get off the horse for two hours, which was really tough. I thought a one-hour course would be better.
I wanted to get off and take a break once.
My butt, inner thighs, and arms are sore. (laughs)
I got off the horse at 11:40.

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。
結果2時間乗馬で正解でした。あっという間の2時間で物足りなさを感じました。馬の性格?などで遅かったり行儀がよかったりがあるようです。登坂で小走りされたときは少し慌てましたが、ゆっくりと歩きます。乗り慣れている人には物足らないかも。降りた後はお尻が痛くなるので覚悟が必要。

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♡

The driver explained how to ride in Japanese during the car ride to the horseback riding location. After arriving, we were able to ride the horses one by one, and another guide accompanied us from the side and behind during the walk, helping us when we stopped. 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。

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。

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.

The meaning of the title is something that those who have taken this tour would understand. I had the valuable experience of riding a horse through the great outdoors. At first, it felt nice to ride, but after two hours, it felt a bit long. For those who have never ridden a horse, it might be tough, so taking a buggy or bus might be better. Also, I found that there weren't as many tourist attractions at Kualoa Ranch as I expected, and when you opt for the shuttle service, the waiting time felt long. For those who are used to using Uber, I think choosing a plan without the shuttle would allow for more freedom of movement.
タイトルの意味は、このツアーに行った方であればわかると思います。大自然の中を馬に乗りながら進むという貴重な経験ができました。最初は気持ち良く馬に乗っていたのですが、2時間は少し長いと感じました。馬に乗ったことがない方は乗馬がキツイと感じるかもしれないため、バギーやバスの方が良いかもしれません。また、クアロアランチは思っていたよりも観光するところがなく、送迎付きにすると待ち時間が長く感じました。Uberを使うのに慣れている方は、送迎なしのプランにした方が自由に動けるので良いかなと思いました。

It's far, but definitely worth it!
We traveled in a comfortable large bus with spacious seats.
The roads were congested, but since we climbed Diamond Head and visited the KCC Farmers' Market in the morning, it was nice to be able to sleep comfortably on the bus.
As we got closer, the color of the sea and the mountain scenery changed, allowing us to enjoy a mystical view that is different from the urban Waikiki.
All explanations were in English.
We had free time until the tour started, and we enjoyed a buffet with curry, meat, and salad. There was also a shop. There were plenty of things to see and do freely, so we had more than enough time to pass.
A paper with the meeting time and return time was distributed to each person, so as long as you keep it until the end, you can feel at ease. Even if you can't speak English, you can show the paper to get directions to the meeting place.
One issue was that the locker had a credit card error, didn't give change, and there were no staff nearby.
In the end, I was able to exchange money at the counter where I bought the tour ticket. Thanks to that trouble, I became friends with a newlywed Japanese couple participating in the same tour, so it turned out well. Unexpected events are part of traveling.
The horses are quite tall, which might be scary for beginners, but they are very gentle and listen carefully to instructions.
Basically, even without commands, they will move on their own when the horse in front starts to go, but if you keep making physical contact, they will look back as if to ask, "Is it okay to go?" and wait for a signal. So cute and smart! After a tough path, I thanked them many times.
There was no fast walking, so it was a leisurely stroll, but there were bumpy paths with ups and downs.
The guide was explaining something, but it was far away and in English, so I couldn't catch what they were saying at all. I want to improve my English skills and try again someday.
Calves came close, and the impressive mountains and breathtaking sea were just amazing! Since we were lined up in a row, there was hardly any interaction with other participants, which was comfortable for me as someone who joined alone. If you want to socialize with everyone, a bus tour or other activities might be good. Riding was a great choice for a unique experience!
Be prepared to get a little dirty or wet, so wearing comfortable clothes and shoes is important.
It drizzled, but there was no rainbow.
I wanted to see a Hawaiian rainbow!
I bought photos! I also purchased a T-shirt and a shop bag. They were cute, inexpensive, and of good quality. I wish I had bought more of the green and black bags hanging on the wall at the souvenir shop's register!
遠いけど行く価値あり!
快適なゆったりシートの大型バスで移動。
道は混んでたけど、朝からダイヤモンドヘッド登ってKCCファーマーズも回ったので バスで快適に眠れて助かりました。
近づくにつれて、海の色 山の風景が変わっていき、都会なワイキキとは違う 神秘的な絶景を楽しめます。
説明は全て英語。
ツアー時間までは自由時間で、ビュッフェでカレーやお肉、サラダを食べれました。売店もあります。他にも色々自由に見て回れるので、時間は充分に潰せます。
集合時間や帰りの時間の書いた紙を1人ずつ配られるので、最後まで無くさず持っていたら安心です。英語話せなくても紙を見せれば集合場所を教えてくれます。
1つ困ったのはロッカーがクレジットカードエラー&お釣が出ない&近くにスタッフがいない。
結局 ツアーチケットを買うカウンターで両替してもらえました。そのトラブルのおかげで同じツアーに参加する日本人の新婚さんと仲良くなれたので、結果オーライ。旅にハプニングはつきものです。

基本 指示がなくても、前の子が進み出したら勝手に進んでくれますが、スキンシップを取り続けると、「進んでいいの?」と振り返る素振りを見せて合図を待ってくれるようになりました。可愛&賢い!ハードな道のあとは「ありがと」とたくさん声かけました。
早足は無しなのでゆったり散歩する程度ですが、凸凹道 アップダウンあります。
ガイドさんがなにやら説明してますが、遠いし英語だし何言ってるか全く聞き取れなかったから、英語力をあげてまたいつか再チャレンジしたいな。
子牛が近づいて来たり、圧巻の山、絶景の海、
めっちゃ気持ち~!1列に並んでるので 他の参加者たちとの交流はほぼなく、1人で参加した身としては快適でした。みんなでわぃわぃしたいのであればバスツアーとか他のアクティビティもいいかも。なかなか出来ない経験としては乗馬で大正解でした♪
多少は汚れたり 濡れたりする覚悟で、
動きやすい服・靴大事です。
霧雨降りましたが 虹は出ず。
ハワイアンレインボー見たかった~!
写真購入!Tシャツ & ショップバックも購入。可愛いくて安くて質もよし。お土産屋さんのレジの壁にかかってる緑と黒のバック もっといっぱい買えばよかったな~!

I definitely want to ride again when I come to Hawaii. The scenery, with mountains and the ocean, allowed me to fully enjoy nature. I truly made the best memories in Hawaii.
またハワイに来たら絶対乗りたいです。
景色も山と海があり、大自然満喫できました。
本当にハワイ1最高の思い出ができました。

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.
クアロアの絶景を馬に乗りながら楽しめます
馬がルートをほとんど把握してるので基本的に何もしなくても進んでくれます
現地スタッフが解説してくれてますが英語で何言ってるか分かりませんが、その間に絶景を楽しめます
景色は写真では伝わりきらない迫力がありました
写真も撮ってもらえるので満足です

I was satisfied to be able to ride a horse alone for two hours. There were times when I felt rushed because the instructions were only in English, but the horse was smart, so I didn't have any problems, haha. The scenery was beautiful!
1人で馬に2時間乗ることができ満足です。
指示が英語のみで焦る時もありますが、馬がお利口なので困ることはありませんでした笑
景色が素敵でした!

Everyone participating was Japanese, so I felt at ease. I participated with my partner horse, Shea, who was so cute. ❤️❤️ Sometimes she would trot a bit, but she listened well and was absolutely adorable. It was the best experience! The guide also spoke to us in broken Japanese, which was fun. The shuttle bus was cold on the way there but hot on the way back. I want to go again!!!!!!!
参加者みんな日本人だから安心馬人間6人で参戦
相棒の馬のシェイが可愛いかった。❤️❤️

The pickup location for the bus on the way there was hard to find. (There were many people from other tours, and we couldn't tell what our bus looked like.)
As for the horseback riding, we could hear the sound of the waves and got splashed by the sea spray, and the wind felt pleasant. The horse was calm and occasionally stopped to graze, which was enjoyable as well. Riding along the coast, something we can't do in Japan, was a valuable experience.
In Haleiwa Town, we only had time for lunch, and it would have been nice to have a little more time to relax.
行きのバスのピックアップ場所がわかりづらかった。(他のツアーの人たちも多く、自分たちのバスがどのような物かもわからなかった)
乗馬については波の音が聞こえ、波飛沫がかかるくらいで、風が心地よかったです。馬もおとなしく時々草を食んで道草しましたが、それも楽しかった。日本では出来ない海岸沿いの乗馬は貴重な体験でした。
ハレイワタウンではランチの時間しか無くもう少しゆっくり出来たら良かった。
Thank you for using Island Makana Tours. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the horseback riding. We will take your feedback regarding the schedule into consideration for the future. We look forward to serving you again!

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.
娘に誘われての参加でした! 放し飼いの馬に乗ることに、不安もありましたが、乗る前には、日本語での注意点など、ビデオ説明もありました。 2人ペアで、6人の、グループに、2人インストラクターの方が付き、体験中は、時折、声を掛けて下さり、それも片言ですが日本語で! わたしが乗ったお馬さんは、わたしに合ったベテランのお馬だったようで、とても慎重で、安心して乗る事が出来、とても楽しめた2時間でした。
