My usual trips to Hawaii are filled with diving, but this time I decided to forgo diving and participate in horseback riding, which I was really looking forward to. I have ridden a horse 2-3 times before, and I was a bit anxious about whether I could handle two hours of riding, but I’m really glad I decided to go for it.
Next time I visit Hawaii, I want to go specifically for this two-hour horseback riding experience. The breathtaking scenery was overwhelming and truly moving.
I hesitated a bit because it seemed somewhat expensive, but it was something I couldn’t easily experience in Japan, and I think this price for two hours with transportation included is a great deal.
A friend who came with me was scared of horses and participated alone, but she was totally fine. The shuttle bus to and from the location had a lot of foreigners, and there were only about two groups of Japanese people, including myself. That made it even more enjoyable. When we arrived, I honestly thought, "Do such overweight foreigners really ride horses?" but most of them were just participating in other optional tours or were simply visiting.
Upon arrival, we checked in at the booth, stored our bags in a coin locker for $5 (with explanations in Japanese), and at the meeting time, we watched a simple horseback riding video in Japanese in a hut. Then, we rode in a group of about six people alongside about three instructors.
There were cliff-like areas and streams we crossed while riding, which was quite thrilling. Although the explanations were in English, I enjoyed it. Above all, I was overwhelmed by the vast scenery, and it really helped me relieve stress. If you keep one hand free, you can take pictures with your smartphone while riding, but I was a bit scared and wanted to take in the scenery with my eyes, so I purchased a photo of myself on the horse for $15 that was taken at the start. My backside got a little sore, but I had a truly meaningful time.
After horseback riding, I wanted to enjoy a leisurely meal, but since the last bus to Waikiki left at 3 PM, I hurriedly bought a small pound cake from the shop and jumped on the bus, which is the only regret I have (laughs). I didn’t even get to look around the souvenir shops.
Hawaii, especially Waikiki, is filled with Japanese tourists, but when I come here, I really feel like I’m in a foreign country surrounded by nature. I will definitely participate again!
いつもはダイビング三昧のハワイ旅行でしたが、今回はダイビングを封印して、この乗馬を楽しみにして参加させて頂きました。
2-3回乗馬経験はありますが、2時間もの乗馬に耐えられるか、多少不安はありましたが、思いっ切って参加して、本当に良かったと今は思っています。
次回ハワイに行く時は、この2時間の乗馬を目的に行きたいと思っています。
その位、壮大な景色に圧倒され、本当に感動しました。
多少高いとためらったりもしましたが、日本ではなかなか経験出来ない事でしたし、2時間で送迎付きで、この料金は大変お得だと思います。
一緒に行った友人は、馬は怖いらしく、一人で参加しましたが、全然
へっちゃらでした。
行き帰りの送迎バスは、外国人の方が多く、日本人は私を含め、2組位でした。
それがまた楽しかったです。
現地に着いて、正直こんなに太った外国人の方々も乗馬をするのかと思いましたが、殆どは他のオプショナルツアーか或いは、ただ行っただけの外国人の方々が多かったです。
到着したら、ブースでチェックインをして、コインロッカーに荷物を5ドル(日本語説明あり)で預けて、集合時間に小屋みたいな所で日本語の簡単な乗馬のビデオを見て、ヘルメットと被って、6人位のグループで3人位のインストラクターみたいな方々と並行しながら乗馬します。
崖みたいなところがあったり、小川を馬に乗りながら、渡ったりとかなりひやひやしましたが、英語ですが色々と場所とかの説明してくれたりして、楽しめました。何といっても本当に広大な景色に圧倒されて、ストレスがパァーと発散出来ました。片手を離さなければ、スマフォ等で写真を撮りながら乗れますが、私はちょっと怖かったのと目で実際、景色を留めておきたかったので、出発時に撮って頂いた乗馬姿の写真を15ドルで購入しました。
多少お尻が痛くなりましたが、本当に有意義な時間を過ごさせて頂きました。
乗馬後はゆっくりと食事を堪能したかったですが、ワイキキ行きの最終バスが
15時で時間が無かったので、売店で買った小さなパウンドケーキだけを慌てて購入してバスに飛び乗って、食したのが唯一の心残りでした。(苦笑)
土産物屋もろくに見られなかった。
ハワイ、特にワイキキは日本人だらけですが、ここに来ると本当に外国に来たな~ってしみじみ思える大自然満載の場所です。
絶対、また参加します!

During my trip to Hawaii, I participated in horseback riding along the beach at Hawaii Polo Club's North Shore. This was my second time riding since my experience at Kualoa Ranch, but the location was different, and it felt wonderful to ride along the coastal course while enjoying the gentle sea breeze. We got caught in the rain for a bit, but thanks to that, we were lucky enough to see a rainbow. The horses were well-trained, so there’s no need to worry even if you're a beginner. I highly recommend everyone to join and experience this wonderful feeling!

The horse was trained and generally remembered the route, but the guide was distracted (looking at their smartphone multiple times) and left the horse to navigate. It charged into a river, and afterward, the horse bolted. I hit my body and head on a low branch, got my clothes really dirty, and it hurt a lot (laughs).
After that, the horse took off a few more times, which was nerve-wracking. It depends on the horse's personality, so if you get a calm one, it should be fine! However, the scenery was more beautiful than I expected, and the horse was cute and soothing! There is some risk involved, but for those who are okay with that, I highly recommend it!
馬は調教されていて、大体の道順は覚えているのですが、途中ガイドさんがよそ見(スマホを何度も見てた)していて道を馬に任せて居たら
川に突っ込みその後馬が突進。低い枝に体と頭をぶつけ、服もすごく汚れて落ちかけて、すごく痛かったです(笑)
その後も何度か走り出し、ヒヤヒヤでした。
馬の性格によるので、穏やかな子に当たれば大丈夫そうです!
ただ、景色は予想以上に素晴らしく
馬も可愛くて癒されました!
多少危険が伴うので、それでも大丈夫!って方にはすごくオススメです。

I was recommended to go by a friend who had previously visited Hawaii. However, it wasn't planned from Japan; I just booked a two-hour horseback riding course the day before. In conclusion, it was incredibly fun!!
I had seen past reviews mentioning that "Japanese people are ignored" or "the attitude is bad," so I was a bit prepared for that, but it was nothing like that at all. Even during the last hours from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM when everyone might be tired, our guide (I think her name was EMA?) not only introduced the usual spots but also taught us various things and communicated with us individually (like asking a bit of Japanese, "What did you see? I want to visit Japan!," etc.), making it a wonderful experience! There might be some variability depending on the guide, but even without a guide, the luxury of riding a horse through that magnificent nature is definitely worth it.
- If you have more than an hour before or after the activity, taking a walk on Kualoa Beach was also pleasant! If you still have time left, there are benches scattered around the premises, so relaxing there can be a nice way to pass the time.
- The horseback riding helmets were indeed quite smelly as rumored (laughs), so if you're concerned about that, I recommend bringing a cap or towel to wear inside.
以前、ハワイに行った友達からオススメされて行ってきました。ただ日本から予定していたわけではなく、前日に空いてるアクティビティを、と乗馬2時間コースだけ予約して行きました。結論、最高に楽しかったです!!
過去の口コミをみて「日本人は無視される」とか、「態度悪い」的内容があったので少し覚悟はしていたのですが、そんなこと全然なく15:30〜17:30と最後の疲れているであろう時間にも関わらず、ガイドさん(たしか、EMAさん?)は定型のスポット紹介などだけでなく、いろんなことを教えてくれ、個別にもコミュニケーションも取ってくれ(ちょっと日本語や、どこを見た?私日本行ってみたいんだ!などなど)素敵な体験になりました!ガイドさんによって当たり外れは多少あるかもですが、最悪ガイドなしでも馬に乗ってあの雄大な自然の中を散歩する贅沢は十分価値があると思います^^
・アクティビティ前後、1時間以上時間があるなら少し歩いてクアロアビーチを散歩するのも気持ちよかったです!それでも時間が余れば敷地内にちょこちょこベンチがあるのでまったりするといい時間つぶしになると思います。
・乗馬用ヘルメットは噂通りだいぶ臭かったので(苦笑)気になる方は、中に被れるキャップかタオルの持参をおすすめします。

Just as we were about to start, it started pouring rain. I got completely soaked, but I followed the advice that "there's a rental for raincoats, but you'll get hot along the way," and set off as is. By the time the sunlight filtered through the trees and I could see the ocean, I was completely dry. The course was sprinkled with highlights, and I'm glad I chose the two-hour route. The magnificent nature is breathtaking.
さあ、スタートという時に土砂降り。びっしょり濡れたけど、「レイン用のコートのレンタルがあるけれど、途中で暑くなるわよ」という助言に従って、そのまま出発。

We gathered early in the morning, but the activities didn't actually start until after 11 AM. Even after the activities ended, we couldn't leave right away, and there was a lot of unnecessary waiting time. This tour took up almost the entire day. The only contact method was email, which raises concerns about what to do in case of any issues.

I chose the 2-hour horseback riding course. There were many people at the reception, but most seemed to be on the 1-hour course, with only my spouse and I, along with what appeared to be three American family members, in the 2-hour group! We had one instructor for every five people, which was an excellent condition to start with.
This was my second time at Kualoa, and although I have ridden horses several times domestically, the scenery and comfort of this course were so exceptional that it’s hard to put into words how "amazing" it was. The instructor explained everything in English, which was a bit of a challenge for us, but we managed to listen intently. We also communicated with the American father, and their smiles and the charming movements of their horses helped make the experience enjoyable and the two hours flew by. (Since preparation and explanations take about 20 to 30 minutes, some might find the 1-hour course insufficient.) I have a pleasant muscle ache around the inner thigh area, but I can definitely "recommend" this experience!
乗馬2時間コースを選びました。
受付にはたくさんの方がいたのですが、大半の方は1時間コースのようで、2時間組は我々夫婦のほかに、(おそらく)アメリカ人の親子3人だけ!
5人に一人のインストラクターが付き、この上ない条件でのスタート。
クアロアは二度目、国内でも何度か馬に乗った経験はありますが、今回のコースの景色と気持ちよさは、言葉で表現するのが難しいくらいの”最高”でした。
インストラクターは英語での説明、我々にはちょっと高いハードルでしたが、何とか必死に聞き取りました。USお父さんともコミュニケーションをとり、彼らの笑顔と愛馬の愛嬌ある動きにも助けられ…、楽しくあっという間の2時間でした。(準備と説明で2~30分かかるため、1時間コースでは物足りない方もいるのではないでしょうか?)
内腿の付け根あたりに心地よい筋肉痛が残りますが、間違いなく”おすすめ”できます!

I participated in a 2-hour horseback riding course (with transportation included). I was worried about my 10-year-old daughter and our physical stamina, but it was no problem at all. I had read many comments about discomfort in the rear, but it wasn't as bad as I thought, and I was fine. The horses were very well-behaved, so I felt safe riding them. Occasionally, they would stop to graze, but I thought that without that, it wouldn't feel like I was really horseback riding. It was a wonderful 2-hour experience with scenery that you can't easily find in Japan. I'm glad I went.
I was concerned about the long wait time since the transportation schedule was fixed, but we rode from 9:30 for two hours, and the bus left at 1 PM. It was just right to have lunch and browse the souvenir shop afterward.

I rode along the coastline and through the farms for about an hour, and it was quite beautiful. My 9-year-old son said it was his best memory. The staff took photos from both the mountain side and the seaside. The staff only spoke English, but I think it was manageable. After riding the horse, they explained how to control it in English. There were no Japanese customers. We went by rental car. The next day, I had muscle soreness in my back and the soles of my feet. The horses have different personalities; mine was a gentle horse named Amy, while my son's horse tried to eat grass right away, but in the end, he was able to control it well.

I appreciated the suggestion to book a different time slot to minimize waiting time at the ranch. The shuttle service with the large bus was comfortable.
However, the procedures upon arrival were somewhat unclear, so it would be helpful if the steps were written on the voucher in advance. I didn't know that helmets were required because they weren't shown in the photos, so I bought a hat the day before, but I would have liked to know beforehand.
It would also be beneficial to have clear information about paid lockers and photography guidelines provided in advance rather than on the day of the activity.
As for the activity itself, we only watched a short video before riding, and then we were quickly on the horses. During the ride, there were two instructors for six participants, but they mostly left us to our own devices (laughs). While it's nice to have freedom, some people might feel anxious about it.
Naturally, each horse has a different personality; there were calm horses, some that only wanted to eat grass and wouldn't listen, and others that were playful with the other horses, which was amusing. The horse I rode seemed to be a bit of a troublemaker, as the instructor frequently came over to praise it. It was curious about the other horses and occasionally sped up, but I held the reins firmly, so it was fine. By the way, there was someone who completely let their horse do whatever it wanted, and that horse was just eating grass (laughs).
The horseback riding lasted a solid two hours, allowing us to enjoy the stunning scenery! We rode towards the mountains while looking at the sea. There were ups and downs, making it quite a workout just to sit on the horse. The views were truly magnificent! If you're going because of the Jurassic Park movie, I recommend reviewing it again right before your visit for even more enjoyment.
We were able to start riding about 20 minutes after arriving and boarded the bus about 30 minutes after finishing, so we had almost no waiting time on-site, resulting in zero stress. However, if things don't go smoothly, there can be a three-hour wait at the ranch, so I recommend confirming this when making your reservation.
By the way, the waiting area is in the restaurant inside the souvenir shop, and waiting for an hour seemed tough for us. The food didn't seem promising either, so if needed, I recommend bringing light snacks like bread.
予約時に牧場での待機時間が少ない時間になるように別の時間帯での予約の提案があり、助かりました。
大型バスでの送迎で快適でした。
現地到着後の手順が若干曖昧で事前に手順をバウチャーに書いていただけると助かります。
写真ではヘルメット着用していなく、着用することを知らなかったため、前日に帽子を買いましたが、事前に知りたかったです。
有料ロッカーの案内や写真撮影などに対する注意・案内が当日ではなく事前に分かりやすくあると助かります。
アクティビティ自体は、乗馬前に簡単なビデオを見るだけで、すぐに乗馬。乗馬中もインストラクター(決まったフレーズのみ日本語で話せます。こちらからの質問はあまりコミュニケーション取れないと思った方がよいです。)が体験者6名に対し、2名いましたが、ほぼ放置プレイでした(笑)
自由でいいですが、不安に思う人もいるかもしれないです。
当たり前ですが、馬によって性格が違い、おとなしい馬、草ばかり食べて言うことを聞かない馬、他の馬にちょっかいを出す馬がいて面白かったです。私が乗った馬はインストラクターが頻繁にいい子にするように声をかけにくるちょっとした問題児のようで、他の馬が気になったり、急に早足になったりしましたが、しっかり手綱を持っていたので大丈夫でした。ちなみにまったく指示を出さず、完全になめられている人もいて、その馬は草ばかり食べていました(笑)
乗馬はしっかり2時間で素晴らしい景色の中で堪能できます!海を見ながら山の中に向かいます。アップダウンもあり、乗っているだけで結構な運動量になります。景色が本当に素晴らしかったです!ジュラシックパークの映画がきっかけで行くのであれば、もう一度直前におさらいしてかは行くとより楽しめるかと。
私達は到着後20分位で乗馬、終了後も30分位でバス乗車出来たので、現地での待機時間もほぼなくストレスゼロでしたが、うまくいかないと3時間の牧場待機時間があるそうです。予約時に確認することをおすすめします。
ちなみに待機場所はお土産屋さん内のレストランとなり、1時間待機も私達にはきつそうです。食事にも期待は出来ない感じでしたので、必要であればパン等の軽食持参をおすすめします。

The ride was good. None of us have ever ridden a horse on the beach, so it was a new experience. I haven't spent more than 20 minutes on a horse before this, more than a decade ago, so it was almost all new to me. We liked how the leader stopped us on the beach and took nice photos of us to remember the ride. The reason I didn't give a perfect score was that I think the leader of the ride needed to be more aware of the riding skill of the people she was leading and give advice on how to improve instead of just telling us what not to do.

It's not often that you can ride for two hours, so I signed up without hesitation! We moved forward in a single line with a small group, and I was at the front. The horse is smart and remembers the course. I was so excited, thinking "Ah, this is the best!" but after about an hour, I started to feel a bit tired from enjoying it so much. We made our way back after an hour and a half. Riding really feels great.
It was very good, but the English explanation was only for the foreign guests coming behind us. Maybe they thought we wouldn't understand? Even if I didn't understand everything, I could pick up some words. That was a bit disappointing.
2時間も乗れることはなかなかないので、迷わずこれ!と、申し込みました。少人数で一列に並んで進みます。しかも先頭。賢い馬なので、コースも覚えています。あー、最高〜〜と、ワクワクして乗っていましたが、1時間を過ぎたぐらいから、堪能しちゃって、ちょっと疲れた感が。とっとこ進んで1時間半で、コース戻って来ました(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)でも、本当に乗馬は気持ちいいです。
とても良かったのですが、英語の解説、私たちの後ろを来る外国の方にのみ。どうせわからないと思ったのかな?わからなくても、単語は拾って聞き取れるのですが。そこがちょっと残念でした。

I had wanted to go horseback riding in Hawaii for a long time, so I was really looking forward to this trip. It takes about an hour from Waikiki, so I was glad I opted for the pickup service. I chose the two-hour course because I wanted to ride in the Kualoa Valley. There were six of us and one instructor. My horse was a bit of a glutton and kept eating the grass along the path, which was a bit troublesome, but it wasn't dangerous, and the instructor quickly came over to scold the horse.
My mother was anxious before riding, but she said it wasn't scary once she got on. However, being in her 60s, she mentioned that her backside started to hurt, so she felt one hour would have been enough for her. I, on the other hand, had no such issues and really enjoyed riding amidst the beautiful scenery.
以前からハワイで乗馬がしたかったので、今回楽しみにしていました。ワイキキから1時間くらいかかるので送迎付きにしてよかったです。クアロアの渓谷を乗馬したかったので2時間コースにしました。6人とインストラクター一人でした。私の馬は食いしん坊でよく道の草を食べていて困りましたが危険ということはなく、すぐにインストラクターの方が来て馬を叱ってくれました。
母も乗る前は不安がっていましたが、乗ったら怖くなかったといっていました。ただ60代ということもあったのかお尻が痛くなってしまったので1時間で充分だったと言っていました。私はそういうこともなく綺麗な景色の中を乗馬できてとても楽しかったです。

It was my first horseback riding experience, and I decided to go for the 2-hour course based on everyone's reviews (^O^). To be honest, my butt got really sore, haha. At the beginning, they showed a Japanese explanation video, but during the experience, I managed with English and gestures. After a while of walking through the mountains, we caught sight of the ocean, entered the ranch, passed by the filming location of Jurassic Park, and occasionally crossed rivers and sped up. It was quite a fulfilling 2 hours!!

This was my second time participating! The one-hour course was sufficient. You can enjoy both mountain and ocean views while horseback riding. If you just want to ride and save time, I recommend choosing a course without transportation and renting a car. It takes just under two hours by bus from Waikiki, and a round trip by taxi costs around 8,000 yen, as told by a taxi driver in Waikiki. If you choose the course with transportation, you'll have to wait about two hours inside Kualoa after the ride ends. There are animals like horses, chickens, goats, tortoises, donkeys, cows, and cats, so watching them helped pass about 30 minutes of the one-hour wait before riding. There are also some souvenirs for sale and a convenience store. There are coin lockers available for $5, so you can safely store your valuables. It was okay to have a camera and smartphone hanging around your neck while riding. Regarding horseback riding, my husband got a pressure sore, and I also experienced pain in my tailbone, so I think those taking the two-hour course should be careful about their seating position!
2回目の参加!1時間コースでしたが十分でした。山と海どっちもの景色を乗馬しながら楽しめます。乗馬だけしたい方で時間の節約をしたい方は送迎なしのコースにしてレンタカーがおすすめです。ワイキキからバスだと2時間弱、タクシーだと往復で確か8000円近くするとワイキキのタクシーの運転手さんに言われました。乗馬だけで送迎ありにすると乗馬が終わってから2時間くらいクアロア内でまちぼうけになります。馬、鶏、やぎ、リクガメ、ロバ、牛、猫などいるので動物を見てると乗馬前の待ち時間1時間のうち30分くらいは暇つぶしになりました。ちょっとしたお土産も売っていますしコンビニもあります。コインロッカーが5ドルであるので貴重品も安心して預けれます。乗馬の時首からかけたカメラとスマホはOKでした。
乗馬に関しては、旦那は床ずれができ、私も尾てい骨が痛くなったので、2時間コースの方は座り方に気を付けた方がいいと思います!

The staff, who understand a little Japanese, were kind and taught us well. We were able to ride horses between the beach and the trees on the North Shore, and the duration was long enough for us to fully enjoy it. The weather was great, making it a perfect day!

When inexperienced riders go horseback riding in Japan, there are often people pulling the reins beside them, but here, the ranch staff leads the way on horseback, forming a line and taking about 1.5 hours to tour the ranch. There were many amusing incidents, such as the horses bumping into each other, starting to eat grass, and needing to relieve themselves, which made it enjoyable. Among the six customers, we were the only Japanese.
日本で未経験者が乗馬となると、オーバルコースで横に手綱を引く人がいたり、だと思いますが、ここでは牧場スタッフが騎乗した馬を先頭に、隊列を組んで1.5時間かけて牧場内を回ります。
乗馬した馬同士でどつきあったり、草を食べ始めたり、用をたしたりのハプニングが多数あって、楽しめました。

The weather was changeable with rain coming and going. It was a two-hour course, but we could see both the mountains and the sea, which was very beautiful. However, there was only one shuttle bus, and everyone had to gather at 7 AM for both the 9 AM and 11 AM courses, resulting in a lot of waiting time after arriving on site.
雨が降ったりやんだりで天気が変わりやすい中でした。2時間コースでしたが山も海もみれてとても綺麗でした。ただ送迎のバスが一台で、9時台のコースも11時台のコースもみんな7時集合、現地に着いてからの待ち時間が多かったです。

I participated with my wife.
The location is quite far out on the North Shore, so renting a car is essential.
We don't use Uber, so I'm not sure how frequently it operates in the area.
There were seven participants, including us.
We were the only two Japanese people.
After checking in, there was a briefing for about five minutes, and then we got right on the horses.
The check-in and briefing were all in English, but the content was simple.
It included instructions like which way to pull the reins to steer and to stand up when the horse needs to relieve itself.
Even if you can't catch everything in English, you'll receive a printed notice in Japanese at the beginning, so as long as you memorize that, you'll be fine.
Now, regarding the horseback riding experience, after riding a bit on the ranch, we took a course along the beach.
Since it was along the beach, there was quite a bit of dust kicked up by the horses, and depending on the wind direction, it could get pretty white in front of you.
However, the view of the North Shore from the horse's back was extraordinary and the best part of the experience.
At the rest point, the guide took a lot of photos, leaving us with many memories of the trip.
We were lucky enough to see a rainbow, but unfortunately, the sunset wasn't very beautiful due to a lot of clouds. The guide also mentioned that it was disappointing, but clouds can't be controlled (laughs).
We returned to the office at 7:30 PM.
We were on horseback for a full hour and a half.
Although the accessibility from Waikiki isn't great, the special experience of riding along the beach is something you can't find elsewhere.
As of June 16, 2018, when I printed the voucher from Veltra, it mentioned that the parking lot was at the far left of the arena after entering the main gate, and that the gate should be closed after entering. However, in reality, the entrance to the horseback riding check-in office was at the next gate without entering the main gate.
妻と参加しました。
場所はノースショアのかなり外れの方にあるのでレンタカー必須です。
私たちはUberを使っていないのでこの近辺でUberがどの程度走っているのかはわかりません。
私たち含めて参加者は7名。
日本人は私たち2名だけでした。
受付をすませて時間になると5分程度のブリーフィングを行なってすぐに馬に乗り込みます。
なお受付、ブリーフィングは全て英語ですが簡単な内容です。
方向を決めるには手綱をどっちに引けとか、馬が用をたす時は立てだとか。
またもし英語が聞けそうになくても最初に日本語の注意書きのプリントを渡されるのでその内容を覚えてしまえば大丈夫です。
さて肝心の乗馬体験は牧場敷地を少し乗った後ビーチ沿いのコースを乗りました。ビーチ沿いなので馬が歩くとかなり砂埃が舞うので風向きによっては結構目の前が真っ白なんて事もありました。
でも馬の背からみるノースショアの景色は非日常感を味わえて最高でした。
休憩ポイントではガイドさんが写真をたくさん撮ってくださり旅の思い出がたくさん残りました。
私たちは運良く虹を見ることができましたが、夕日については残念ながら雲が沢山あったのであまり綺麗ではありませんでした。こればかりはガイドさんも残念だけど雲はコントロールできないと言ってました(笑)
オフィスに帰ってきたのは19時30分。
なんとたっぷり1時間30分も馬の背に乗ってました。
ワイキキからのアクセス性が悪いけど、ビーチ沿いを乗馬できるという特別感は他ではなかなか味わえないと思います。
ベルトラさんのバウチャーをプリントした2018/6/16現在、駐車場はメインゲートを入って競技場を左端まで行ったところ、更にゲートは入場後閉めてくださいと記載されていましたが、実際はメインゲートを入らずに次のゲートまで車を走らせたところの入り口(ゲート無し)が乗馬受付オフィスでした。

I had a horseback riding experience in Japan as well, and I signed up for a 2-hour course that took us through the forest, over hills, and along the coast. The horses were well-trained, and we moved slowly at a walk, which made it really enjoyable to take in the scenery while riding. I would love to participate again next time.
日本でも乗馬体験していましたが、森?を抜けて丘を越えて海沿いを進んで帰ってくる2時間コースを申し込みました。

Honestly, my backside got sore after two hours of horseback riding, but it was definitely worth the experience!
You can directly connect with the magnificent nature that served as the backdrop for Jurassic Park.
The horses know the course well, so they walk on their own without needing instructions (though they occasionally nibble on some grass... haha).
I was able to discover a new charm of Oahu.
2時間の乗馬は正直おしりがいたくなってしまいましたが、
それでも体験する価値ありです!
ジュラシックパークの舞台にもなった雄大な自然に直接

馬たちはコースを熟知しているので、指示しなくても勝手に
歩いていってくれます(時々草をつまみ食いされますが・・笑)

I went horseback riding for the first time in Hawaii, and the staff were very kind, and the horses were adorable. The beach was less crowded, allowing me to enjoy a different atmosphere compared to Waikiki, which was great. There was also a photo time, and I was able to take some wonderful pictures.

The weather wasn't perfectly clear, but my first experience riding on the beach was absolutely wonderful. The horse was very trusting of people, so I felt comfortable riding even without any riding skills. The dog at the club was very cute.
The reason I didn't give it a 5-star rating is that I was told the riding time would be 90 minutes, but it ended up being just under 80 minutes. Also, the club's restroom was clogged, and I couldn't use it beforehand.
Other than that, it was a very good experience.
天気は快晴ではありませんでしたが、初めての砂浜での乗馬はとても素晴らしかったです。
馬はとても人を信頼していて、乗馬スキルがなくても安心して乗ることが出来ました。クラブにいた犬がとても可愛かったです。
★5ではないのは、乗馬時間が90分と聞いていましたが、80分弱で終わってしまったからです。
また、クラブのトイレが詰まっており、事前にトイレに行くことが出来ませんでした。
それ以外はとても良い体験でした。

It's not often that you get to ride a horse leisurely for two hours, so spending time in nature in Hawaii while letting the horse take the lead feels great. My husband was also riding for the first time and seemed a bit nervous at first, but by the end, he said, "Riding a horse is easy" (laughs). I couldn't help but think that it was really the horse being smart and we were just along for the ride... The weather was also pleasantly refreshing, not too hot, and we had a wonderful time.
なかなか2時間もゆったり馬に乗りことはないので、ハワイの自然な中で馬に任せて過ごす時間は気持ちがイイです。
夫は乗馬自体も初めてで最初は緊張していた様子ですが終わった時には「馬に乗るのは簡単」などと…(笑)
それは馬が賢く、ただ私たちが乗せていただいていただけなのに…と思ってしまいました。 天気も暑すぎることもなくさわやかな中でとても楽しかったです

My mother and I participated in a two-hour horseback riding course. My 71-year-old mother was extremely nervous at first, but by the middle of the ride, she was finally able to enjoy the scenery. My horse was at the back, eating grass and lagging behind, which led to some scary moments. At one point, it charged towards a spiky plant like a cactus while trying to eat grass, and my hands ended up all scratched. I recommend wearing long sleeves and long pants.
I regretted not having a digital camera that could be used with one hand, as it was difficult to take good photos with my phone. This is an experience you can't have in Japan, so definitely give it a try!
親娘2人で乗馬2時間コースに参加しました。71歳の母は、最初、緊張しまくりでしたが、中盤になったらやっと景色を楽しめるようになりました。私の馬は最後尾で、草食べては遅れをとって、駆け足になる馬で怖い場面もあり、また草を食べに行く時に、サボテンのような棘のある植物に突進していき、手が傷だらけになりました。長袖、長ズボンをおススメします。
写真は携帯では、なかなかうまく撮れないので、片手で撮れるデジカメの方が良かったと後悔しました。日本では出来ない経験なので、是非やってみてください。
