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。
馬はかなり背が高く 初心者には怖いかも

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♪

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.

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。

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。

The driver was very friendly and shared interesting stories, making the journey enjoyable. The Dole plantation was less lively than when I visited before, and the pineapple ice cannot be purchased with a card, so cash is necessary. The driver explained the horseback riding in Japanese beforehand, which made me feel at ease. A staff member will take photos along the way, so be sure to bring your smartphone. There is only one riding club, and it's not very clean, so I recommend bringing hand towels or similar items. The stroll around Haleiwa goes by quickly, so it might be better to ask the driver to place a lunch order in advance. It gets crowded when eating and lining up for shave ice, so Aoki might be a better choice. I wish I had a bit more time.

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。

I was able to visit the filming location of my favorite Jurassic Park, and since it included a 2-hour horseback ride, I chose this plan without hesitation. Although we couldn't stop at the filming location, I was very satisfied because I got to enjoy the beautiful scenery!
大好きなジュラシックパークのロケ地に行けること、2時間の乗馬がセットだったので迷わずこのプランを選びました☺︎
ロケ地に立ち止まることは出来なかったですが、綺麗な景色を見て回れたのでとても満足しています!

The scenery is beautiful, and we moved slowly on horseback. The horse was smart and well-trained. I rated it 4 points because my butt hurt after riding for two hours, but I'm glad I went.
すごく景色が良い所を馬に乗ってゆっくり移動していきます。馬は頭が良くてきちんとしつけられていました。
2時間乗っていた為にお尻が痛くなったので4点にしましたが、行って良かったです。

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.
午前中の申し込みをして体験しました。
まず開始時間ですが、誰もいない状態でもお休みではありません、ツアーから戻っていないだけで待っていればOKです、時間にはおおらかなハワイです!気にしないでください。
子供も一人で乗馬できるので良い体験になります、のんびり馬に揺られハワイの自然を満喫出来ます。
駆け足は出来ないので刺激が欲しい方には物足りないかもしれませんが、海辺の乗馬はとても良いものでした。

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。

Relaxing horseback riding on the white sands of the North Shore. The horses were so smart, I can only say it was the best.
I have participated in other famous horseback riding programs in the past, but I preferred this one.
I'm worried that it might become too popular and hard to book, but it was absolutely amazing, so I highly recommend it to everyone.
ノースショアの白砂をゆったりと乗馬
馬もお利口さんで最高としか言いようが無いです
過去には他の有名な乗馬プランにも参加しましたが僕にはこちらの方が良かったです
人気が出過ぎて予約困難になるのが嫌ですが
とにかく最高でしたので皆さんも是非

It was good, staff were okay, they had a private beach with amazing Mountain View. I wish they would let people gallop a little bit in the field instead of 45 minutes of strolling which is boring.
