I took The Bus to Kualoa Ranch. I had researched it in Japan, but the bus routes had changed, and the bus I intended to take was no longer available, which made me anxious. I figured out that I needed to take The Bus number 60 and managed to get on, but I was worried about whether I would make it on time. The meeting was at 8:30 and the activity started at 9:30, but since the bus was delayed, I ended up arriving after 9. I hurried to the reception, but I was relieved to find that there were no issues and I could participate in the activity. My horse was very capable and calm. Since I have some experience with horseback riding, I wished I could have ridden a slightly more spirited horse. However, it felt wonderful to ride through the great outdoors.
クアロアランチまではThe Busで向かいました。
日本で調べてから行ったのですが、バスのルートが変わっていて乗るつもりだったバスがなくなっててあわてました。
TheBus60番ということが分かり無事に乗って向かいましたが間に合うか心配。
8時半集合の9時半開始とのことだったのですがバスが遅れていることもあり結局9時過ぎになってしまいました。
急いで受付に行ったのですが何の問題もなくアクティビティに参加でき、ほっとしました。
私の馬はとても優秀でおとなしかったです。乗馬をかじったことのある私にはもう少しやんちゃな馬に乗りたかったかな。
でも大自然の中を馬に乗ってお散歩するのはとても気持ち良かったです。

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It lasted about 1 hour and 15 minutes, I think. I was horseback riding. I was able to have a dynamic and refreshing ride while walking along the sea of the North Shore. However, the course and the order of walking are predetermined, so it might be a bit unsatisfying for those who are experienced in horseback riding. Nevertheless, you can still ride at breathtaking viewpoints.
十分過ぎるほど堪能しました。1時間15分くらいかな?乗馬してました。ノースショアの海の横を歩きながらダイナミックでさわやかな乗馬が出来ました。どうしても決められたコース、歩く順番も決められてるので、乗馬慣れしている方には物足りないかもしれません。ですがそれにも負けない、絶景ポイントで乗馬出来ますよ。

I couldn't get a reservation in the morning, but I was able to book one starting at 2 PM. It took just over an hour to arrive from Honolulu. When I went to the reception, I was instructed to wait around until 3 PM.
Before 3 PM, we watched a video for the explanation. Then we quickly started horseback riding. There were six of us in three groups, and we were the only Japanese. An American woman gave the instructions, and we set off. We crossed hills, passed the filming locations of Jurassic Park and King Kong, and went further to the foot of a higher mountain. The ocean was beautiful.
We rode for a solid two hours, and my legs started to hurt, but it was fun. The horses were well-trained, and the staff were kind; it was okay even if you couldn't speak English. It seems reservations are hard to come by, so I recommend booking early. I would like to go again next year.
午前中の予約がとれず午後14時からとれました。ホノルルから1時間あまりで到着。受付に行くと15時までそこらで待ってなさいとの指示。
15時前に行くとビデオで説明。早速乗馬。6名3グループ日本人は我々だけでしたが、アメリカ人の女性が指示して出発。岡を超え、ジュラシックパークやキングコングの映画ロケ地をこえ、さらに高い山の麓へ。海がきれいだった。
2時間みっちり乗馬し、足が痛くなったけど、楽しかった。馬はよく調教されており、職員も優しく、英語話せなくてもOK。予約が取りにくいようで早めの予約お勧めします。また来年でも行きたい。

I went horseback riding for the first time, and I felt no anxiety because the horses were well-trained. I chose the 2-hour course, but I wondered if 1 hour would have been enough. The reason is that my rear end and bent knees started to hurt (I'm 178 cm tall). However, I was able to relax and enjoy nature while riding the horse.

This was my second visit to Kualoa Ranch. I was worried because the pick-up from the Sheraton was about 30 minutes late, but the horseback riding experience went as scheduled. Riding while looking at the mountain range and the ocean was amazing. The instructor pointed out that my saddle was tilted and needed adjustment, but I couldn't get it right until the end, which may have put a burden on the horse.
Hawaii has both the ocean and mountains. While there are trekking options in the mountains, the horseback riding experience was so good!
However, perhaps because of the bus delay, we had to get on the return bus immediately after the horseback riding, so there was no time for a meal or souvenir shopping. Well, it was nice to get back early.
今回2回目のクアロア牧場。シェラトンでのPick Upが予定より30分位遅れて心配しましたが、乗馬体験は予定通り。山並みを眺めながら、向こうに海を眺めながらの乗馬は最高でした。鞍が傾いているから調整しろよと指導員から指摘されるが、最後までうまくいかず、馬には負担をかけたかな?
ハワイは海と山。その内山はトレッキングもあるだろうけど、乗馬体験はSo Good!
ただ、バスが遅れたせいか乗馬が終わったらすぐさま帰りのバスに乗ることとなり、食事タイムもお土産タイムもなかった。まあ、早く帰れてよかったです。

In the early morning, I was picked up at a nearby hotel. The lobby was quite crowded with people participating in tours to various destinations. The pickup was significantly delayed compared to the scheduled time. The large bus was almost full.
I had never been horseback riding before, so I was nervous as I got on. The horse was smart and cute, but I learned that I shouldn't let it eat grass. However, the horse would nibble here and there, so I had to pull firmly to teach it that it was not allowed, which was quite challenging. Additionally, the instructor would sometimes give commands that made the horse start running to catch up, which was a bit scary. Still, being able to ride in the beautiful sea and nature of Hawaii became a wonderful memory for me. Two hours might be a bit long; my tailbone hurt, and sitting the next day was really tough! (laughs)
On the way there, I had to kill time until it was my turn to participate (I think booking activities early in the morning helps reduce waiting time), but on the way back, I liked that I could return at my preferred time.
早朝に近くのホテルにてピックアップでした。
各方面にツアーに参加される方でロビーはかなり混雑していました。
予定のピックアップ時間よりかなり遅れてピックアップでした。大型バスはほぼ満席でした。
私は以前に乗馬をしたことがなくドキドキしながら乗りました。
馬は利口で可愛いのですが、草を食べさせてはいけないらしくでも馬は所々で食べるので、かなり強い力でダメだと引っ張って教えてあげなければいけないのがとても大変でした。
またインストラクターの方が途中指示を与えると遅れを取り戻すときにたまに走り出すのでそれが少し怖かったです。
それでもハワイの綺麗な海と自然の中で乗馬できたのはとても楽しい思い出になりました。
2時間は少々長いかもしれません、お尻の骨が痛くなり翌日座るのが本当に大変でした。(笑)
行きは自分が参加するまでの時間まで時間を潰さなければいけませんでしたが(アクティビティを朝いちでご予約されるのが待ち時間が少なくて済むと思います)帰りは自分が好きな時間に帰れるので良いと思います。

I have been horseback riding at Mother Farm in Japan, but it only lasted about 30 seconds with a staff member leading the horse, so I didn't have high expectations. However, here I was able to ride the horse myself and control it for 2 hours, which was a lot of fun and I highly recommend it. The 2 hours flew by and I didn't feel tired at all.
There are instructions in Japanese on how to operate the horse, so even those who don't understand English can feel at ease. This is an activity I want to do again when I go to Hawaii next time.

The course that takes you around movie filming locations had beautiful scenery and was very enjoyable. There were times when the horse didn't listen, so that's something to be cautious about. Also, the weather can change suddenly, and it may rain. Additionally, there may be grass or tree branches that hit your body, so if you're concerned about that, I recommend wearing long sleeves or rain gear.
映画ロケ地を巡るコースは景色も良くとても楽しかったです。

The oldest participant was 69 years old, and the youngest was 2 years old. We were looking for activities that everyone could enjoy, and we requested this horseback riding experience. The local staff do not speak Japanese, but they are friendly and kind, using gestures to communicate, so I think even those who are not good at English will be fine.
First, they asked if we wanted to wear helmets, and if we chose not to, we were asked to sign a consent form. Then, under the guidance of Sheina, my 2-year-old daughter rode a pony while the adults rode larger horses, taking a leisurely 20-minute walk in a single file through the grasslands and bushes. The horses ridden by the adults would sometimes stop to eat grass, so we had to kick the stirrups to encourage them to move forward, or pull the reins to bring them back into line if they started to walk too fast. It was a very valuable experience to operate the horse by ourselves for the first time.
At the end, my daughter was allowed to brush and feed the pony she was riding, and she was overjoyed (laughs). Even after returning home, she keeps talking about the pony (laughs). The only downside is that there is no transportation provided, so we had to make our own way to the North Shore. However, since we really wanted to go to Gunstock Ranch, we decided to charter a guided car and combine it with a tour of Haleiwa.
The grounds are vast, and the scenery seen while riding the horses is incredibly beautiful. The pleasant breeze and climate were very soothing. I would like to visit again when I come to Hawaii.

最初にヘルメットをかぶるか聞かれて、かぶらない場合は同意書にサインを求められます。
そしてシェイナさんの先導で2歳の娘はポニー、大人は大きな馬に乗って草原や茂みを約20分一列縦隊でお散歩するのですが、大人の乗る馬は途中で草を食べ始めたり止まったりするので、その都度あぶみを蹴って前進を促したり、逆に早足になったら手綱を引いて列に戻るよう促したりと、自分で馬を操作するなんて初めてのとても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
最後は2歳の娘が乗っていたポニーにブラッシングやえさやりをさせてくれて、娘は大喜び(笑)帰国してもずっとポニーの話をしています(笑)
唯一の難点は、送迎がないのでノースショア方面まで自分で行かなければいけないことですが、どうしてもガンストック牧場でお願いしたかったのでガイド付きの車をチャーターしてハレイワ観光とセットで行くことにしました。

Horseback riding in Hawaii. There are various options, but this was the only place I found that allows small children to ride, so I made a request. I thought it would be a short experience, more like a child's play (laughs), but to my surprise... we got to ride on a big, adorable horse and explore the mountain trails!
It was a unique experience that you can't have in Japan, and I really enjoyed it. My 2-year-old daughter fell asleep, so her dad rode instead. I had only made a reservation for my grandchild, but they easily accommodated changing it to one adult for my grandchild and adding another adult.
Next time, we plan to go on a trip with just the grandparents, and I want to go horseback riding at Turtle Bay, where we went for our honeymoon (laughs). It will be next New Year's, so I hope to see you then!

We came to Hawaii for our honeymoon and participated in a horseback riding tour. The horse my wife rode was laid-back and a bit of a foodie, while the horse I rode was a little impatient. There were opinions that "two hours is tiring for a first-time rider," so we chose the one-hour course, but I felt like I wanted to ride for another hour. (According to my wife) For those who are not used to exercising, I think one hour is just right. The natural beauty and the cuteness of the horses were amazing, completely different from the Waikiki side.

We participated as a group of four, including three people who had never ridden a horse before and one with a lumbar herniated disc. Until we mounted the horse, the faces of the three inexperienced riders were tense with anxiety, but it turned out to be nothing to worry about. By the end, they were even able to enjoy the surrounding scenery, and the one-hour horseback ride seemed to fly by. It was clear that this was all thanks to the calm and well-trained horses, and they gained a confidence that was unfounded but encouraging, expressing a desire to participate again. On the way back, we had lunch and were able to board the bus without any time loss. Although there was a slight delay during the morning pickup, it was still an impressive activity that everyone could enjoy.

At first, I thought two hours of just walking might be boring, but as we passed through the "forest," the "ocean" came into view. We walked through "gentle hills" and "grasslands," with mountains on the left and the coastline on the right. We passed by the "Jurassic Park" sign and "Skull," which were filming locations from the movie, and crossed a "stream."
The two hours flew by without a dull moment. There were times when we picked up the pace, but it felt safe, and we could stop quickly, which was exciting. If you're used to cantering and jumping at a riding club, you might find it a bit lacking. The grasslands make you want to "run!" It would be even better if there were an advanced course available.
I've done Western trail riding a few times in Japan, but I had the impression that it was boring for the price. However, this experience was enjoyable.
There are many areas without shade, so wear long sleeves. You don't need a hat since you'll be wearing a helmet, but don't forget to bring water and your mobile phone, as you can store them in the saddle.
はじめは、2時間も常歩だけでは面白くないのでは…とあまり期待していませんでしたが、2時間の間に「森」を抜けたら「海」が見えてきて、「緩やかな丘」と「草原」を通りながら左に山、右に海岸が見え、「ジュラシックパークの看板」「スカル」と映画のロケ地を通り、「小川」を渡り…
飽きることなく2時間があっという間でした。
途中、速歩になってしまったりしましたが、それでも危なくなくすぐ止まってエキサイティングでした。普段乗馬クラブで駈歩や障害などやっていたら少し物足りないかもしれません。「走りたーい!」となる草原です。経験者コースがあればなおいいかも。
日本でも何度かウエスタンの外乗やりましたが、金額の割につまらないイメージでしたが、ここは面白かったです。

I always rely on Viator's optional tours. Previously, the one-hour horseback riding experience went by in no time, so this time I signed up for the two-hour course. It was great that the courses were different for one hour and two hours. Considering the waiting time, the pickup was at 10:20 (the bus took a while to arrive...). We started horseback riding at 12:15. While we were getting ready to ride, it started to rain, so we borrowed raincoats from the ranch and were all set. However, the rain stopped quickly, and we had blue skies! There was one staff member for a group of six Japanese tourists. We rode for a leisurely and fulfilling two hours at the filming location of Jurassic Park, reminiscing about the movie.

I was a bit confused about arriving at the ranch so early, but thanks to the quick thinking of a staff member who spoke Japanese, I was able to sign up for a bus tour of the ranch without wasting any time. The bus guide provided information in Japanese, so I was fine without any explanations from the instructor during the horseback riding, but I think it would have been nice to have at least a little guidance. The horses were really smart, remembering the course without any prompts, and they followed the instructor's whistle perfectly. The magnificent scenery was wonderful.

I had my first horseback riding experience with my 9-year-old son and my husband. My horse and my husband's horse were calm and followed the staff's horse, but there were times when my son's horse wouldn't move away from the line, which made me think that my son might have been a bit nervous, and that might have been communicated to the horse. The horses started walking at the staff's cue. We were able to leisurely explore nature and ride the horses, which was very soothing.
One disappointing thing was that the staff explained how to ride and the precautions in English, so I couldn't understand much. However, my son seemed to have enjoyed it and said he would like to ride again when we come back.
9歳の息子と主人と3人で初乗馬体験しました。
主人と私の馬は大人しく並んでスタッフの馬の後ろを付いていたが、
息子の馬が列を離れて動こうとは、しない事があったので少し息子も緊張してたのが馬にも伝わったのかなぁと思いました。スタッフの掛け声で馬は歩きだしました。自然の中をゆっくり見て回れて馬にも普通に乗れて癒されました。
残念な事は、スタッフが最初に乗り方や注意事項を説明されたが、英語だったので、あまり理解出来ませんでした。でも息子は、楽しかったみたいで又、来た時は乗りたいと云ってました。
アロハ!レビューをありがとうございます。お子様が素晴らしい時間を過ごされたことをとても嬉しく思います!またお会いできることを願っています!マハロ!
Aloha! Thank you so much for your review and we are very glad that your son had a wonderful time! We hope to see you all again! Mahalo!

I might have misunderstood ^^; I thought it was horseback riding and a car, but it was only horseback riding for two hours. Moreover, I assumed there would be something like a hamburger included, but there was no meal provided, which was a bit disappointing.
When I showed the voucher at the counter, they told me to drop off my belongings in a locker and come to the horse registration by a certain time. With less than half an hour until that time, there was only one small café-like place to eat, so I ended up riding on an empty stomach. You can leave your hat at the horse registration desk.
At the horse registration, I was shown a video explanation in Japanese, put on a helmet, climbed onto a platform, and started horseback riding. The horse was smart, so even though I had almost no experience riding, I had no problems at all. The staff leading us definitely communicated well, using whistles and such.
However, two hours is long!! My rear started to hurt a bit towards the end... I wonder if choosing an early morning course would have avoided the two-hour horseback riding only option?
We gathered in front of the Ilikai Hotel around 10 AM, so by the time we arrived, it was almost lunchtime. When we got on the bus, there were many other guests already on board, and my family ended up sitting separately, so we didn't have much to talk about and naturally fell asleep until we reached the ranch. After the horseback riding, there was no time left, and we just headed back.
What saved the experience was that riding the horse through the scenery, including filming locations from movies, turned out to be quite an interesting experience. I wanted to explore by car for the second hour, but while riding, I could see the ocean, which was nice. However, due to the season, it rained a little, and it was quite cold because of the low temperatures, so I thought I would shiver unless I wore a T-shirt or long-sleeve shirt with a jacket, long pants, socks, and shoes.
There were three of us in my family, along with one woman who joined us, and we rode with the staff leading the horses. For our belongings, we had to keep our phones in a place where they wouldn't fall out and were easy to access. We could either have the staff take pictures while leading the horses or take our own. The staff did take some photos at the beginning, which they sell later.
私が勘違いしていたのか^^; 乗馬と車だと思ってたら 乗馬のみ2時間でした。
しかも、ハンバーガーくらい付いてるのかと思い込んでて、何にも食事は付いてませんでしたので、少しがっかりしました。
バウチャーを カウンターで見せたら、
○時に 馬の受付に 持ち物をロッカーに預けてからきてねと 言うことで、その時間までに半時間もないし、食べるところなんて 一ヶ所カフェみたいな小さいところがあるだけで、ほぼないようなところなので、お昼抜きで 乗る羽目になりました。 帽子はお馬さんの受付で棚に預かってもらえます。
そして、そのお馬さんの受付で
日本語のビデオの説明を見せられて、ヘルメットをかぶり、 台の上に上がり 乗馬になりました。賢い馬なので、今までほぼ全く乗ったことがない位の 私でも 全く問題なく乗れました。先導するスタッフの言うことは 間違いなく聞きました。口笛とかで、です。
ただ、2時間は長い!!お尻が少しですが最後の方には痛くなってきました、、、
朝早くのコースにしたら、2時間乗馬のみ、のコースにならなかったのかなあ??
10時台のイリカイホテルの前での集合で 行くコースだったので、着いたらほぼお昼だし、バスは乗るときには 前に
沢山の先客が乗ってきていて、家族がバラバラになって座って乗ったので、話すこともなく、自然に牧場に着くまで 寝てました。 そして、お馬さんが終われば、時間もなく、帰るだけ、でした。
救われたのは、映画の撮影地を含む、景色の中 お馬さんに乗ってたことが、なかなか面白い経験になったことです。
1時間乗ったら 後の1時間、車で回りたかったけど、、(・・;) 乗馬しながら 海が見えたり、はして 良かったけど、
天候が季節的に 雨が多いので、雨にも少しだけ降られました。 また、季節的にも、近年にはなくも、気温が 低いために 結構寒いので、Tシャツか長袖シャツに上着、長ズボン、靴下に靴、でないと 震えると思いました。
私達家族三人と あと一人で参加した女性に、お馬さんを先導するスタッフの人で回りました。
荷物は、携帯だけは 落とさないところで、出しやすいところに入れて持っておかないと 映像は途中お馬さんを先導するスタッフの人に撮ってもらうか、自分で映します。一応 乗り始めのあたりで
スタッフの方が写真は撮り、後で売ってますが。

The horseback riding experience allowed us to spend a very slow time. My wife also enjoyed her first horseback riding experience. The scenery was wonderful with the ocean and mountains, but the fact that it was a filming location for Jurassic Park was a bit underwhelming as a selling point. The weather was bad, but we were prepared for rain, which was helpful (I was almost about to buy a windbreaker). However, the lack of enthusiasm from the staff who accompanied us was disappointing... Even though the horseback riding started at 11:00, we were picked up at 6:50 and had nothing to do for two hours, which was frustrating. After the horseback riding, we had to wait an hour for the shuttle, and since the location is Kualoa, it might be far, but I wish there was a way to improve that. If that could be resolved, it would be perfect.
乗馬体験は、非常にSLOWな時間を過ごすことが出来ました。奥さんも初めての乗馬体験で楽しんでいました。
景色も海や山と素晴らしかったですが、ジュラシックパークのロケ地というのは、ちょっとうたい文句にしてはいまいちでした。
天気が悪かったですが、雨雲用意されており助かりました。(もう少しでウィンドブレーカーを買うところでした)
ただ、同行していただいたスタッフの方のやる気のなさには・・・
乗馬が、11時スタートなのに6時50分ピックアップ2時間何もすることがなく時間を持て余す事態に・・・乗馬後も送迎までに1時間待ち、場所がクアロアなので遠いこともあるでしょうがもう少し何とかならないものかと、そこが解消されれば最高ですね

I made a same-day reservation for a private plan through the app and arrived. After parking my car, I went to the reception where I was told to leave my belongings in the car and only take my phone.
I put on a helmet and received an explanation along with three other customers.
Huh?? A private plan..!?
The staff kindly explained everything. At one point, I was handed a smartphone, and we all read the instructions written in Japanese together.
After that, we set off. Just before departure, it started to rain, and they lent me a rain jacket.
During the horseback riding, there was one staff member assigned to each group. The horse I rode on started to relieve itself right away and then immediately went off to eat grass, which was quite challenging.
I tried to follow the initial instructions, but when I called for the staff, they seemed a bit annoyed while helping me.
Perhaps because it started to rain, the horse became grumpy and suddenly crouched down. At that moment, one of my legs got pinned underneath. It was my first time riding, and I was really surprised by the suddenness of it, but the staff scolded the horse, and since I wasn't injured, I was able to return safely.
After that, there was no particular follow-up, and since I settled the payment through the app, it ended with a casual "thank you for your hard work." I was really looking forward to it, but I returned home feeling a bit unsettled.
Tipping wasn't specifically requested; there was a jar in the waiting area where you could drop in tips.
By the way, it takes about 10 minutes by car to get to Giovanni, famous for its garlic shrimp.
アプリから貸切プランで当日予約し、伺いました。
駐車場に車を止め、受付に行くと車内に荷物を置き携帯電話だけ持つよう言われました。
ヘルメットを被り、他のお客さん3名と説明を受けます。
あれ???貸切・・!?
スタッフさん方は愛想よく説明してくれました。途中でスマホを渡され、みんなで日本語で書いてある説明を読みます。
その後出発しました。出発前に雨が降ってきてレインジャケットを貸してくれました。
乗馬はグループごとに1人スタッフさんがついてくれて行きました。
私が乗った馬は開始早々大も小もしはじめて、更にすぐに草を食べに行ってしまうのですごく大変でした。
なんとか最初に説明を受けた通りにしていましたが、スタッフさんを呼ぶとめんどくさそうな感じで対応してくれました。
途中雨が降ってきたからか、馬が不機嫌になり、急にしゃがんでしまいました。
その時私の片足が下敷きになりました。
初めての乗馬でしたし、突然のことですごく驚きましたが、スタッフさんが馬を叱って?くれ、怪我もしていなかった為無事に戻れました。
その後特にフォローはなく、清算もアプリからしていたので、お疲れ様〜って感じで終わりました。すごく楽しみにしていたのですが、なんかもやもやしながら帰りました。
チップは特に求められず待合所?にビンが置いてあってチップを入れるみたいでした。
ちなみにガーリックシュリンプで有名なジョバンニへは車で10分くらいで行けます。

I had a reservation for 11:15, but we had to gather at 7:15! When we arrived, we ended up waiting for two and a half hours. The course was supposed to be two hours through the mountains and the sea, but we just walked slowly in a single line on horseback. The people in front seemed to be beginners, so we hardly moved, and they suddenly stopped, which made it difficult for those of us behind. I didn't enjoy the horseback riding much, but the scenery was amazing.
11:15の予約ですが、7時15分に集合!着いたら2時間半待ちになっていました。
そして、2時間山と海のコースですけど、ただ馬に乗ってゆっくりゆっくり1列で進むだけでした。前の方は初心者みたいで、全然進まなかったし、急に止まりし、後ろについてのは大変でした。
乗馬にかんしてはあまりに楽しめなかったでしたが、景色は最高でした。

The horses were smart and we were able to ride leisurely through the forest. There were many clouds in the Kualoa area, and it rained along the way... It might be a good idea to prepare a light raincoat or something similar if possible.
馬もお利口でのんびりと林の中を乗馬出来ました。クアロア方面は雲も多く途中雨が降りました…出来れば薄手のカッパ等準備されると良いかも

Thank you very much for your patronage.
However, I can imagine how disappointing it must have been to be informed on the day of your reservation that it was not recorded, despite having a confirmed booking.
Upon checking the situation for that day, I found that your reservation through VELTRA was properly received, and a reservation number was issued upon completion of the arrangements. However, it seems that the operating company mistakenly scheduled your reservation for March 15. They recorded that you were not present on March 15, and when you arrived on March 18, it caused confusion. Upon confirming the voucher you brought on that day, it became clear that your reservation with VELTRA was for March 18, and they made urgent arrangements for you to participate.
Normally, we would provide service beyond the usual standards to address such confusion, but I have heard that the staff also displayed an unpleasant attitude, which makes us at VELTRA very sad. Additionally, if there had been a report to VELTRA on March 15, we could have avoided causing you any inconvenience on March 18. I recognize that there was a lack of coordination between VELTRA and the operating company, and I must deeply reflect on this matter. I sincerely apologize once again.
I have sent you a separate email, so I would appreciate it if you could check that for further details. I apologize for making you feel disappointed during your valuable stay in Hawaii. To prevent similar inconveniences in the future, we will work closely with the operating company to ensure that we can provide better service.
Thank you for your understanding.

ご利用くださり誠にありがとうございます。
しかしながら、ご予約が確定していたにも関わらず、当日現地にて予約が入っていないと伝えられたため、非常に残念なお気持ちだったかと察します。
当日の状況を確認しましたところ、VELTRAでのご予約は正常に受付をし、手配完了に伴い予約番号も発行されておりましたが、催行会社側で予約を誤って3/15にて手配をしてしまっていたとのことでございました。催行会社側ではお客様が3/15に当然ながらいらっしゃなかったと記録しておりましたところ、3/18にてお越しになられたために混乱してしまったようでございます。当日、お客様が持参されたバウチャーを確認し、VELTRAからのご予約は3/18であったことがわかったために、ご参加いただけるように当日急遽お手配をさせていただいたとのことでした。
本来であれば混乱をお招きしてしまいましたので通常以上にサービスを提供するところであるところ、スタッフも不愉快な態度であったとお伺いしVELTRAとしてもただただ悲しく思います。またVELTRA宛てにも3/15の時点で報告があれば当日3/18にお客様に直接ご不便をおかけすることはなかったことを思いますと、VELTRAと催行会社の連携不足がありましたことについても深く反省しなければならないと認識いたしました。重ねて心よりお詫び申し上げます。
別途メールにてご連絡させていただいておりますので、詳細につきましてはメールをご確認いただけましたら幸いです。
この度は貴重なハワイ滞在期間中にもかかわらず、残念なお気持ちにさせてしまいましたことお詫び申し上げます。
今後同様のご迷惑をおかけしないためにも、催行会社との連携を密にとり、より良いサービスが提供できるように努めてまいります。
何卒よろしくお願いします。
