We experienced horseback riding as a family. We went to the polo club by rental car and participated in a tour. The North Shore is truly a wonderful place, and it was an amazing experience to ride along the coast in the pleasant breeze. It was my son and son-in-law's first time riding, but the horses were smart, and they enjoyed it without any problems. Along the way, we took photos, and my son attached a GoPro to his arm to film while riding without any issues. We also had some commemorative photos taken, and even though it was in English, we received various explanations, making it the best memory of our trip to Hawaii.
家族で乗馬体験しました。レンタカーで、ポロクラブへ行き、ツアーに参加しました。ノースショアが本当に素晴らしい場所で、心地よい風の中、海岸沿いを馬で歩けて最高に素晴らしい体験ができました。息子も娘婿も初めての乗馬でしたが、賢い馬で、何の問題もなく楽しめました。途中写真を取ったり、息子はゴープロを腕につけて馬の操作には問題ない状態でビデオを撮ったり、途中記念撮影して下さったり、英語ですが、いろいろ説明してもらいハワイに来た最高の思い出になりました。

I previously had a horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch, but the movie tour aside, the horseback riding felt very much like a "tourist attraction"—it was crowded, and we all went in a line together.
At Gunstock Ranch, my 2-year-and-10-month-old daughter could ride a pony, while my husband and I chose to ride horses. A staff member walked with my daughter's pony, and we followed behind on our own horses. There aren't many places that allow small children to ride alone, so it was a valuable experience! We chose a 20-minute ride, which was more than enough time for little ones! The grounds are incredibly spacious, allowing us to feel the great outdoors, and afterward, they let my daughter brush the pony and give it treats, which was really friendly of them. I definitely want to go back next time!
*However, there were no staff members who spoke Japanese. I don't think it would be too much of a problem, though.
以前クアロア牧場で乗馬体験もしたのですが、映画地のツアーはともかく乗馬に関しては「観光向け」という感じで、混んでいるし、みんなでぞろぞろ行く感じでした。
このガンストック牧場は2歳10か月の娘がポニー、私と夫は馬と選べて、係の女の人が娘のポニーを引いて歩いてくれ、私たちは後ろから自分たちでついていくという感じです。小さい子1人で乗らせてくれるところはないので、貴重な体験でした!
20分のライドを選びましたが、小さい子には十分すぎる時間です!
敷地はものすごく広くて大自然を感じられるし、終わった後で娘にポニーのブラッシングや、おやつをあげさせてくれたりして、本当にフレンドリーでした(^^)次回も絶対に行きたいです!
※ただ日本語が話せるスタッフさんはいなかったです。
そんなに困る事はないと思いますが。

Initially, I thought about taking the bus, but I didn't know how to ride it or the schedule, so I consulted with HIS. They told me it would take a long time and that I wouldn't know how to transfer, which would make it difficult to reach my destination. I even considered canceling. In the end, I decided to take a taxi (which was expensive).
There were seven elderly ladies, all beginners, and at first, they were a bit scared to get on, but they gradually got used to it. The woman who accompanied us was very cheerful, which made it enjoyable and the experience was fantastic (I'm glad we did it).
As they got more comfortable, everyone expressed a desire to go horseback riding and try galloping. While Kualoa is famous, this place felt more local, and Japanese wasn't spoken, but we managed to communicate somehow. There were also small children with us, and they had a great time as well.
最初バスで行こうと思いましたが乗り方、時間がわからずHISで相談しました。そうしたら時間もかかるし、乗換もわからないと着くまでに大変ですよと言われ、キャンセルも視野に入れましたが。急きょタクシー(値段が高い)に
しました。おばあちゃん7名ですが全員初心者、最初は恐る恐る乗っていましたが次第に慣れ、ついていただいた女性の方がとても明るい方なので楽しくなり最高でした。(やって良かったです)
慣れたのか、みなさん乗馬に行って走らせてみたいと言う意見もありました。
クアロアは有名ですが、ここはローカルなようで日本語は通じないですがなんとかコミニュケーションができます。また小さい子供さんもいましたがとても楽しんでいました。

I was torn between the 1-hour course and the 2-hour course, but since I wasn't very interested in the other activities, I chose the 2-hour course, and it was a great decision. There were only two groups of four people in the 2-hour course, so I received thorough support. Additionally, since it was a 2-hour course, I was also taken to the Movie Site, which was a lot of fun. As for clothing, it's better to wear shoes instead of sandals and long pants instead of shorts. It's wise to dress in a way that anticipates being splashed with dung or urine.
2時間コースか1時間コースか迷ったが、他のアクティビティにはあまり興味がなかったので、2時間コースを選択したら、アタリでしたー。2時間のコースはパッケージプランの人があまりいないのか2組4名しかいないのでじっくりサポートしてもらえた他、2時間のコースだとMovie Siteにも案内してもらえたので十分楽しめました。あと服装ですが、サンダルでなくて靴、短パンでなくて長ズボンの方がいいですね。フンやオシッコをかけられることも想定した服装がいいでしょう。

Concerns for Japanese people:
- Not being able to communicate in Japanese
- Not knowing when to give tips
Is that about it?
It's like a well-trained horse just following the guide. There will probably be various explanations from the guide along the way, but since I can't understand English, there won't be any.
I think it would be good to sell tours that include tips for Japanese customers.

The leader spoke English, so I couldn't understand the guide very well. The scenery itself was amazing.
I made a reservation for 15:30, and the meeting time was at 11:00. I thought I would have a lot of free time, but when I checked in, I was guided to a horseback riding session starting at 12:00.
I'm glad I was able to do it early, but it was a bit of a mystery why the horseback riding was scheduled for 15:30. My father had to cancel the two-hour horseback riding due to a foot injury, but on the day of, there were openings, and we were able to take a bus with a Japanese-speaking guide.

We arrived early by rental car, and the journey was smooth, allowing us to arrive relatively quickly. The check-in process was handled by staff who spoke Japanese and provided thorough explanations. Since we arrived early, I inquired about other activities, but they were fully booked.
After watching the DVD several times, they selected horses based on each person's physique. The horses were well-trained and calm, and my 10-year-old daughter quickly got used to riding. We enjoyed the scenery while being grateful for the patient and strong horses with their big, round eyes. However, since the horses occasionally stumbled, it’s better to use both hands firmly.
Despite the cloudy weather and occasional light rain, there were muddy spots on the path that slowed the horses down, making the ride take over two hours, but it passed in no time and was very enjoyable. We went as a family of five, and I believe this will be a memorable page in our Hawaii experience. I was excited to be in a precious place that was only accessible to royalty, but the occasional sound of helicopters and four-wheeled buggies felt out of place, which was a bit disappointing.
On the way back in the afternoon, you can return via either Kahuku or Haleiwa, so I recommend taking your time and going by rental car.

After an hour on the bus, we arrived. I couldn't keep my backpack with me, so I stored it in a locker and was ready to go.

If you're hoping to take pictures while riding, this might not be suitable, as the camera couldn't focus. If there had been Japanese guidance through the intercom, I might have enjoyed it a bit more.

We went to the location on our own without a shuttle. The place was easy to find, and the check-in was smooth. During the horseback riding, we can't take backpacks or bags, so we have to leave them in lockers. It's not free. We left them in the car and were able to take water, a camera, and our phones. They explained how to ride in broken Japanese, and then we set off. The horse was smart and walked in a line, so I felt safe riding without any running. I was happy to ride in the magnificent nature! We got caught in the rain for a bit, but thanks to that, we saw a rainbow. Not only was Jurassic Park filmed here, but several other movies were shot as well.

Kualoa Ranch / 1-Hour Horseback Riding Experience
This tour is extremely popular, and although I originally hoped for a 2-hour tour, we couldn't secure a reservation, so we participated in the 1-hour tour!
Each person is assigned a horse by the staff, and they pair us up. I was really happy to be matched with a beautiful chestnut horse.
The horses are very intelligent and follow the horse in front of them. So, even as a beginner, I felt completely safe!
Amidst the magnificent scenery, the sound of the horses' hooves, the breeze, and the fresh air were truly amazing. Next time, I want to make a reservation early and join the 2-hour course!

I participated with my mother (75 years old). Even seniors and beginners can enjoy a full hour and a half of horseback riding safely and happily. The female guide is very friendly. She also takes photos along the way (with your own smartphone or camera). You can experience walking on the sandy beach and through the "salad bar" (pasture, as the guide metaphorically describes it, since the horses love to eat grass), truly feeling like you're horseback riding in Hawaii! I definitely want to participate again.

I thought one hour of horseback riding would be too short, so I opted for the two-hour course. Depending on the reservation situation that day, there was about an hour of waiting time after arriving by shuttle bus until the horseback riding assembly time, so I looked around the shop and took photos with the horses while waiting.
Once the horseback riding began, we went to the back of the vast grounds near the mountains and returned, but the guide did not provide any information about the filming locations at all; they only directed the horses that were lagging behind, and we just rode along while taking photos of the scenery. I ended up getting bored halfway through.
After the horseback riding ended, we had to wait for two hours until the scheduled bus departure time. The shop was small, so I had already seen everything during the hour before riding, and the restaurant had an unappealing "employee cafeteria" atmosphere, so I ended up just sitting and waiting. I think the waiting time can be quite tiring. I recommend that those who can rent a car meet at the location by car.
乗馬1時間は短すぎるかと思い、2時間コースにしました。
その日の予約状況で変動するかと思いますが、送迎バスで到着後、乗馬の集合時間まで1時間ほど時間があったので売店を見たり馬と写真を撮ったりして待ちました。
乗馬が始まって、広大な敷地の山の裏付近まで行くって戻ってくるのですが、ガイドさんは最後までロケ地の案内などする事は一切なく、遅れをとっている馬に指図するだけで私達は景色を見ながら写真を撮ってただ乗っているだけです。なので途中で飽きてしまいました。
乗馬終了後は支持されたバスの出発時間まで2時間もありました。売店は小規模なので乗馬前の1時間で見尽くしてしまいましたし、レストランも全く魅力的ではない”社員食堂”っぽい雰囲気なので結局座ってひたすら待っていました。
待ち時間で疲労が溜まると思います。
レンタカーを借りれる方はレンタカーで現地集合する事をお勧めします。

I had an absolutely amazing time! (laughs)
I was quite nervous at first, but thanks to the kind staff, I was able to ride without any issues after just a 5-minute briefing. There were ups and downs, and suddenly we passed through a tunnel in the forest that felt like something out of My Neighbor Totoro, riding on horseback. We climbed rocky areas while keeping an eye on free-range cows—it was quite an adventure! Surprisingly, my backside didn't hurt much at all. I kept saying how fun and interesting it was, and even though the experience was supposed to last an hour, they let us ride for about an hour and a half!
They only spoke English, but they talked slowly and clearly, which actually made it feel more authentic. There were just the two of us and another group, so it felt like a private experience! It had more of a Western vibe than a Hawaiian one, though... (laughs)
Above all, the horses were great, and the danger level was zero (☆∀☆). My wife, who doesn't like animals, was able to pet them normally and felt comfortable! If you sign a waiver for accidents beforehand, you can ride without a helmet (laughs). This explanation was a bit complicated, though...

This was my second or third horseback riding experience in life. I was a bit worried about riding for two hours, but the horse was smart and followed the horse in front of it perfectly. There were six of us in the group this time. I was told not to let the horse eat grass, so I pulled the reins a few times when it seemed like it wanted to lower its head, but it responded well to my signals to move right or left, which was impressive. We encountered some hills and even crossed a small stream, but I managed to ride without any issues. The problem was that after about an hour, my backside started to hurt. I tried to shift my weight to my toes to cope, but it was a bit uncomfortable. However, the scenery was beautiful, especially with views of the ocean. It seemed that the location had been used in many movies, and although I had watched a promotional video on TV beforehand, there weren't many signs on-site, and the staff only provided limited information.
Since there was no tour scheduled in the 9 AM slot, I signed up for the 11 AM tour, but the pickup was only at 6:50 AM. I arrived after 8 AM, so I had to wait for nearly three hours. The return trip felt like it was based on gathering enough people for one bus after check-in. During the free time, I could only go to the beach nearby, check out the horses, or visit snack spots and souvenir shops, which was a bit boring.
I wish there had been more buses scheduled to match the tour times. However, I was glad to have the experience of riding a horse in such an extraordinary setting.
人生2度目か3度目の乗馬体験。2時間も乗って回れるのかと少し心配しながらの参加。しかし、馬のほうがお利口で、ちゃんと前の馬の後についって言ってくれる。今回は6名での一行となった。草は食べさせないでといわれていたので、首を下げそうになった時は手綱を引っ張り、やめさせる行動を3回ほどしたものの、右に動いたり左へという合図にもほんの少しでちゃんと動いてくれて感動。のぼりや下り坂、果ては小さな小川を渡るというところもあったものの無事に乗ることができた。問題は1時間もしないくらいのところでお尻が痛くなったこと。足先に力を入れてみたりと、だましだましでの乗馬となった。しかし、海が見えるところなどもあり景色は良かった。ロケ地としては、たくさんの映画に使われているようで、事前に、テレビでの紹介ビデオが流れているところで予習をしていたものの、現地ではさほどたくさんの看板があるわけでもなく、スタッフの人がいくつかは教えてくれる程度。
その日は9時台は予定されていなかったので、11時発のツアーに申し込んだが、迎えは6時50分の1本だけ。8時過ぎには着いたので、3時間近くも待ち時間があった。帰りはバスのチェックインがすんで1台分人数が集まったら出発という感じであった。空いた時間は海が近くにあるので、海岸まで行ったり馬を近くに見に行ったり、軽食をとる場所やお土産屋さんを見たりくらいの過ごし方しかできず、少し退屈であった。
お迎えのバスがツアーの出時刻に合わせていくつか用意してあればいいなと思った。しかし、非日常の馬に乗って回るという体験ができたことはよかった。

I went horseback riding for two hours. The day I made the reservation was rainy, so I decided to go anyway, but with this weather, it would be good if I could ride for an hour. I was advised to consider another day, so I decided to ride on a different day.
I was helped by their efficient service.
Riding for two hours is quite intensive, so if you're not used to riding, you might worry about muscle soreness the next day.
However, I recommend it because you can see breathtaking views of the sea and mountains that you wouldn't normally get to see!

2時間の乗馬は結構みっちり乗るので、普段乗り慣れてない方だと翌日の筋肉痛が心配になるかもしれません。
ただ、海や山の景色については普段見ることが出来ないような絶景を見ることが出来るのでオススメします!

We participated as a family. The instructor was friendly and had a great personality. We have done several horseback riding experiences in Hawaii, but the trail along the shoreline was our first time, and it was truly moving.
家族で参加しました。インストラクターの先生が気さくな感じの良い先生でした。ハワイでいくつか乗馬体験をやりましたが、波打ち際のトレイルは初めで、感動しました。

I'm a 25-year-old woman. This time, I traveled with a female colleague. I made a reservation for horseback riding because the reviews were good. I regret not booking an early reservation for a tour that included movie locations and a buggy ride, as it would have been even more fun. I was hoping for good weather, but in the end, I didn't make a reservation until the day before. Since it was last minute, there were only spots available for the 2-hour horseback riding course. However, I didn't hesitate to book because of the positive reviews.
The bus ride was smooth, and we arrived at the location. The atmosphere at Kualoa was great, and it really lifted my spirits. Since it's a ranch, it does have a smell. There were a lot of horses, and the constant urination and defecation were shocking and made me laugh. However, I am quite sensitive to smells, so it was pretty tough for me.
Also, regarding the helmets that everyone mentioned, they were quite bad. They smelled, were wet, and felt uncomfortable. As for the horseback riding itself, there were moments when I got a bit bored, but overall, I thought it was good. However, I don't think I'll ride again (laughs).

今回は会社の同僚と女2人旅でした。
乗馬の口コミが良かったので、予約しました。
早期予約をして、映画ロケ地やバギーがついたツアーにしていれば更に楽しかったと後悔。
天気がどうせなら良い日に〜なんて思ってたら結局予約することなく、、、前日に予約しました。
やはり、前日ということもあり空きもなかったのか乗馬2時間コースのみでした。
ただ、口コミが良かったので予約することに躊躇はありませんでした。
バスはスムーズに乗れ、現地に行けました。
クアロアの雰囲気も良くテンション上がりました。
牧場なので臭います。馬がたくさんいて放尿・脱糞だらけなので衝撃続きで笑えました。
ただ私は臭いにかなり敏感で結構辛かったです。
あと、皆さんが書かれてたヘルメットについてですが、、かなりやばいです。臭いし濡れてるし気持ち悪かったです。
乗馬自体は、少し飽きたりする部分もありましたが良かったと思います。
ただ、もう乗らないとは思いますが(笑)

私の3歳の子供と私にとって素晴らしい体験でした。39分間でしたが、友好的な馬たちと美しい農場を回ることができました。スタッフもとても親切で、貴重な瞬間を楽しむことができました。家族と一緒に子供たちを再び連れて行きたいと思います。彼らの素晴らしいおもてなしに感謝します。
It was great experience for my 3 years old kid and myself. It was just 39 min, but we could ride around beautiful farm with fiendly horses.
Staff was quite nice and we could enjoy the prescious moment. I will take my kids back again with family.
Appreciate their great hospitality.

Finally, after watching the DVD, it was time to start horseback riding. It was very quick from putting on the helmet to the start of the tour, but strangely, I didn't feel scared at all. The ocean and mountains provided the best locations for photos! As expected from Kualoa Ranch! It was a bit cute to see the horse eating grass along the way and getting scolded by the guide.
This was my first time riding, and I went straight into a two-hour course, but since the horse walked slowly, my backside didn't hurt too much, and it didn't bother me the next day. The scenery was truly breathtaking. Surrounded by green mountains and feeling the wind from a high position was very pleasant, and the horse was well-behaved, so I felt safe riding.
Even as a beginner, I felt the horse was well-trained and smart because it responded quickly when I pulled on the reins. However, there were six of us on the tour, and the guide mostly talked to the experienced English-speaking rider at the back for most of the time. Since I chose horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, I wanted everyone to learn about its history and qualities together.
My English isn't that great, but I can speak simple phrases, so I wish I could have enjoyed both riding and conversation a bit more during this wonderful opportunity. It might be part of the guide's job to keep an eye on the members from the back, but as someone who was at the front, I felt lonely without someone to share this amazing view with.
DVDを鑑賞するといよいよ乗馬開始。
ヘルメットをつけてからツアー開始まではとてもスピーディですが、不思議と怖さはなかったです。海、山、どれを撮っても最高のロケーション!さすがクアロアランチ!お馬さんが途中で草を食べてしまってガイドに怒られてる姿も少し可愛かったです。
今回、はじめての乗馬でいきなり2時間コースということでしたが、ゆっくり歩いてくれるのであまりお尻も痛くならず、次の日までは響きませんでした。何と言っても景色の良さに感激です。緑の山々に囲まれて、高い位置から風を感じるのはとても心地が良く、お利口さんなお馬さんだったので安心して乗っていられました。
初心者の私でも手綱を引っ張るとすぐに言うことを聞いてくれるのでよく躾けられていて賢いと感じました。
だだ、今回6人でツアーだったのですが、ガイドさんが後ろの方の英語が話せる乗馬経験者の方だけとツアー中ほとんどの時間を話していました。せっかくクアロアランチでの乗馬を選んだので、クアロアランチの歴史や良さについて全員で勉強したかったです。
英語はそこまでうまくありませんが、簡単なものであれば話せるので、せっかくの機会だったのでもう少し乗馬と会話の両方を楽しみたかったなと思います。
ガイドの方は後ろからメンバーを見ることも仕事のうちなので仕方ないのかもしれないですが、先頭を歩いていた私としては、この素晴らしい景色を共感できる相手がおらず寂しかったです。

I chose a private course because I wanted to canter, having some experience in horseback riding. However, due to the impact of a recent typhoon, I had to cross a small river to get to the area where the horses could run. The horses couldn't cross, so I thought, "No way!" and decided to get a refund. As a result, I ended up on the same course as the complete beginners. I would have appreciated a heads-up before the tour started, letting us know there would be areas where we couldn't run. Moreover, it was a hot day, and the female staff had a sour expression, which made the experience feel unpleasant.
乗馬の経験があるためキャンターをしたかったので、プライベートコースを選びました。ですが、少し前の台風の影響もあり、馬の走れるスペースに行くのには 、小さな川を渡らなければいけないと、、。馬には渡れないは、で
no way!でリファンンドするからいいわよね。で、まるきり体験コースの
方々と同じコースへ。ツアーが始まる前に、走れない箇所があるけど
どうしますか?ぐらいの連絡はいただきたかったですね。しかも、その日暑くてスタッフの女子は仏頂面で感じ悪かったです。

It was amazing!!
Last year, I went to Hawaii on a package tour from a travel company and signed up for a one-hour horseback riding and a trip to Secret Island through their optional tours. The horseback riding was so good that I was determined to take the two-hour course next time, which is why I signed up this time.
This time, I opted for the two-hour horseback riding without transportation, and I drove there with a rental car. I booked the 9:30 session, and after confirming my payment and schedule, the voucher from Veltra stated that check-in was at 8:30. So, I left the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Waikiki around 7:15 and arrived at the Kualoa Ranch parking lot at 8:15. The traffic around Waikiki was heavy, and I was worried about whether I would arrive on time, but once I got closer to the mountains, the traffic suddenly eased up, and the road was straightforward.
I arrived at 8:15 and went to the ticket counter for check-in, but there was a long line! I realized why the voucher stated to check in at 8:30, even though I had booked the 9:30 session!
After presenting my voucher and completing check-in, a staff member called over a Japanese staff member, who provided a brief explanation and told us to go to the horseback riding reception 15 minutes before our session.
Even while waiting around the reception area, there was no announcement from the staff when the time came! So, it’s essential to approach them for check-in 15 minutes early! If you just wait quietly, you might miss your reserved time.
I was told that I could only bring a camera or a phone. Water was not allowed! However, after other activities, there was one person who left their water bottle and towel on a shelf during check-in.
The Japanese staff member advised us to leave all valuables and bags in a locker or in the rental car.
The helmets smelled quite bad, probably because they weren’t washed (laughs). Therefore, if you don’t want to wear it directly on your head, I recommend wearing a cap first before putting on the helmet! I learned this from my last visit and did it this time.
This time, there were a total of six participants, including us, in three couples. One English-speaking staff member accompanied us, but they mostly stayed at the back, so I was at the front. I was quite anxious and scared at first (laughs).
The horses go on their own, but there were moments when the staff was on their phones or when I couldn’t see the front at a turn, and my horse occasionally went the wrong way (laughs). The staff would come from behind, deliberately get close to my horse, scold it, and redirect it, but sometimes the horse would get startled and speed up or make sudden turns, which was really scary! (laughs) But once I got used to it, it became a fun accident.
The scenery was breathtaking. I think it’s an experience you can’t have in Japan.
I saw many reviews saying that the two-hour course would make your butt hurt, and I found that to be true! It suddenly started to hurt in the second half (laughs).
I think it was because I was tense and anxious in the first half, so adrenaline was pumping, but once I got used to it, the pain hit me suddenly (laughs).
After horseback riding, we had lunch at the hamburger place inside Kualoa Ranch.
There were plenty of chairs and tables, and outside there was a free water station with cups. We enjoyed our meal while looking at the ocean, and the taste was fantastic!
This is an activity I definitely want to participate in again next time! (^O^)
最高でした!!
去年、旅行会社のパッケージツアーでハワイに行き、同社のオプショナルツアーで乗馬1時間とシークレットアイランドに申し込みました。
その時の乗馬がとても良く、次回は2時間コースを絶対と思っており今回申し込みました。
今回は2時間乗馬を送迎無しの単品で、レンタカーで行きました。9:30からの回を申し込み、入金&予定確定後のベルトラからのバウチャーにはチェックインには8:30と記載がありましたのでワイキキのハイアットリージェンシーホテルを7:15ごろ出発し、8:15にクアロアランチ駐車場に着いてました。
ワイキキあたりは車が混んでいて、時間通りにちゃんと着くのか?と焦りましたが、山側に差し掛かってからは急に車も少なく、ずっと道なり一本道だったので分かりやすかったです。
8:15に着き、チェックインのためチケットカウンターに行きましたが、すごく並んでいました!9:30の回に予約したのに、バウチャーには8:30チェックインとなっていた意味がよく分かりました!
バウチャーを提示してチェックインを済ませると窓口のスタッフの人が日本人スタッフの方に声をかけ呼んでくれて、日本人スタッフの方から簡単な案内と15分前には乗馬の受付に行ってくださいと言われました。
受付周辺いたりしても、時間になってもスタッフの方からは声かけはありません!
なので15分前に必ず、自分からチェックインの為に声を掛けることが必要です!!黙って待っているだけでは、予約した時間の回に参加できなくなります。
持ち物はカメラか携帯のみと言われました。水もNGです!
他のアクティビティ後で、もしそのまま持って行ってしまっても水のボトルとタオル程度ならチェックインの時に棚に置かせてもらってる方も1人いました。
事前に先程の日本人のスタッフの方から、貴重品やバッグなどはすべて、ロッカーかレンタカーへ置いてくるように言われました。
ヘルメットは、洗ってないせいか、かなり臭います(笑)そのため、直接頭にかぶりたくない場合は必ずキャップを被ってから上にヘルメットを装着することをおすすめします!
前回の時に学び、今回はそうしました。
今回は私達を含め、計3組のカップルで6人での参加でした。
英語スタッフの方が1人同行してくれるのですが、基本一番後ろを行くので、私が一番先頭でした。最初はかなり不安で怖かったです(笑)
馬が勝手に行ってくれるのですが、スタッフさんが携帯を触ってたり、曲がり道で先頭が見えなくなってしまうタイミングに限って、私の馬がたまに道を間違えて違う道に進んでしまうことがありました(笑)
スタッフさんが後ろからやってきて、自分の馬をわざと近づけて叱りながら私の馬の方向を変えてくれるのですが、その時馬がびっくりしてたまに早足になったり、急な方向転換をして本当に怖かったです!(笑)でもそれも慣れてくると楽しいアクシデントでした。
景色は最高。日本では味わえない経験だとおもいます。
口コミで、2時間コースはお尻が痛くなると、たくさん見かけたのですが、後半に入ると急にお尻が痛くなります(笑)
おそらく前半は緊張と不安でアドレナリンが出てるからだと思いますが、慣れてきたあたりから急に痛くなります(笑)
乗馬を終えて、クアロアランチの中のハンバーガー屋さんで昼食をとりました。
椅子とテーブルもたくさんあり、外に無料の給水機とコップもあり、海を眺めながら食べましたが味も最高でした!
次回も必ず参加したいアクティビティでした!(^O^)

I participated in the 2-hour course without transportation included. I went by rental car, and it was easy to get there because of its clear location. During check-in, I was told that I could bring my smartphone, water, and a towel. (There were coin lockers available for about $5, so I stored my bag there. I left my valuables with a companion who wasn't participating.) The horse had a small bag attached, so I could put water in it, but I finished before I even had a chance to drink (laughs). I recommend having a smartphone ring; it helps stabilize your phone while riding, making it easier to take good photos. Without it, I felt like I might drop my phone and couldn't take great pictures. The staff took wonderful photos with our phones, so I have lovely memories captured.
But above all, I can't forget the magnificent views I saw with my own eyes. The 2 hours flew by in no time. It was a tour that made me truly want to participate again!!! Thank you very much!
2時間コース、送迎なしで参加しました。レンタカーで行きましたが、わかりやすい場所にあるためすぐ行けます。
チェックイン時にスマホ、水、タオルくらいは持って行っていいよと言われました。(カバンはコインロッカーもあったので5ドル程で預けられたはずです。私は参加しない同行者に貴重品など預けました。)馬に小さなバックが付いているので、水など入れられましたが飲んでる間もなく終了しました(笑)スマホはスマホリング付いていると、手に携帯が安定して馬に乗りながら上手に写真を撮る事が出来るのでおススメです。何もなしだと落としそうでなかなか上手にとれませんでした。スタッフが自分たちの携帯で写真を撮ってくれたので素敵な写真が残りました。
でも何より自分の目で見た壮大な景色が忘れられません。2時間あっという間に終わってしまいました。もう一度参加したい!!!と心から思えるツアーでした!ありがとうございました!

It was a 1.5-hour horseback ride, but considering it took us 2 hours to get there from Waikiki, it ended up being just 1.5 hours of riding through the forest, which got boring halfway through.
1.5時間の乗馬でしたが、ワイキキから2時間かけて行った割に
森の中をただひたすら乗馬するだけの1.5時間だったので途中で飽きてしまいました。
アロハ、あなたが乗車や景色を楽しめなかったと聞いて残念です。1.5時間の乗車は、山を通り、島のウィンドワード側を見るための有名な山頂へ向かいますが、ほとんどの人はその景色を楽しんでいます。フィードバックをありがとうございます。マハロ。
Aloha, We are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the ride or the views. The 1.5 ride is through the mountains to our famous mountaintop to see the Windward side of the island and most people enjoy the views. Thank you for the feedback. Mahalo
