I really enjoyed the time spent with the gentle horses while exploring the ranch, including the movie filming locations, and seeing the mountains, the sea, and even a rock shaped like a turtle. This was my third horseback riding experience in Hawaii (North Shore and Big Island), and I recommend this facility for its great amenities. My elementary school child mentioned that it was a bit long, though.
映画のロケ地をはじめとした牧場内を周遊し、山々や海、亀の形をした岩?も見つつ、優しい馬と過ごした時間は本当に楽しかったです

The guide was great!
During my first trip to Hawaii, I was able to hear many stories.
I learned a lot about the characteristics of the Hawaiian Islands and their history—so many things I didn't know!
The tour also took us to a delicious garlic shrimp restaurant, and horseback riding was amazing.

Since the course started at 12:15, the pickup was at 9:50, allowing us to enjoy the hotel buffet before participating! The waiting time was almost nonexistent, and everything went smoothly. There were few Japanese-speaking staff, so I asked nearby Japanese guests for help while moving around. I thought it might be dangerous to carry my camera, so I put it in a locker, but the horses were calm and it would have been fine to bring it. I regret not taking my camera to capture the beautiful scenery and filming locations. I highly recommend bringing a camera. It was so much fun, and I would love to participate again!
12時15分~のコースだったので、お迎えも9時50分とゆっくりでホテルのブッフェに行ってから参加できました!
待ち時間もほとんどなくスムーズでした。
日本語のスタッフが少なかったので、近くにいる日本人の方に聞きながら行動しました。
カメラを持ちながらは危ないかとロッカーにしまいましたが、馬が大人しく余裕だったので、カメラを持って行けば良かったと後悔しました。
カメラを持って行ってキレイな景色やロケ地を撮ってくる事をオススメします。
すごく楽しかったです。また参加したいです。

We, a group of five from our company trip to Hawaii, spent three nights and five days in Honolulu. Since we are close friends, we were excited even before departure. Once we arrived in Honolulu, we had a parade of requests about where we wanted to go and what we wanted to eat. Among those plans, we booked a North Shore tour for the second day of our trip, December 17 (Monday). The tour was coordinated by Kazu, who has lived in Hawaii for decades. The journey from Honolulu to the North Shore was filled with stories about the ongoing monorail development and quizzes about the Dole Pineapple Plantation.
Along the way, we had some time, so we stopped by a coffee farm, enjoyed complimentary coffee, and listened to stories about the mountains where Zero fighters flew during the Pearl Harbor attack, reflecting on the happiness after the war while gazing at the blue Hawaiian sky. After that, we enjoyed ice cream at the pineapple plantation and finally arrived at Haleiwa's Old Town on the North Shore. We soaked in the local atmosphere of Hawaii that we had always dreamed of. Kazu shared information about local food and the history of the shops, and we savored Hawaiian dishes of tuna and shrimp, leaving us satisfied.
This is where Kazu truly shined as our local guide! He informed us that a world championship was taking place at the North Shore, where surfers from around the world gather. We asked Kazu if he could drop us off at the competition venue, and off we went to the world championship site! It was exhilarating to see the North Shore's Pipeline, which we had only seen on TV, with our own eyes! Our close-knit group of five had a precious experience! I highly recommend everyone to join Kazu's tour at North Shore through VELTRA. A wonderful experience awaits you! ^^;
私たち、ハワイ社員旅行5人組でホノルル3泊5日の旅でした。気心知れた仲間ですので、出発前から大騒ぎ。ホノルル着いたら、あそこへ行きたい。何を食べたい。リクエストのオンパレード。そんな中、ツアー2日目の12月17日(月)にノースショア観光を予約しました。現地でツアーをコーディネートしてくれたのが、ハワイ在住うん十年のKazuさん。ホノルルからノースショアまでの道のりハイウェイ道中も、現在開発中のモノレール開発秘話やドール・パイナップルプランテーションクイズなど盛りだくさん。途中、時間もあったため、「コーヒーファーム」に立ち寄り、フリードリンクコーヒーをごちそうになり、コーヒ園から眺めなれるパールハーバー大戦時のゼロ戦が飛んでいった山谷のお話しに戦後の幸せを感慨深く思い、ハワイの青空を眺めました。その後は、パイナップルプランテーションでアイスクリームを楽しみ、いよいよノースショア・ハレイワのオールドタウンに。憧れたハワイのローカルな雰囲気を満喫。Kazuさんからローカルフード情報や店舗のヒストリーなどうかがい、マグロとエビのハワイアン料理に舌づつみを打ち、お腹も満腹。ここからが現地ガイド、Kazuさんの真骨頂!ちょうど、Kazuさんが世界のサーファーが集うノースショアで世界大会が行われている情報をゲット。我われKazuさんに無理を言って、その大会会場で特別に降ろしていただき、いざ、世界大会会場に!テレビでしか見たことのない、ノースショアのパイプラインをこの目で見ることができてエキサイティング!仲良し5人組は貴重な体験をしたのでした!ぜひ、みなさん!ノースショアはVELTRA 現地ガイドKazuさんのツアーに参加してみてくださいね。素敵な体験があなたをお待ちしております^^;

I was looking forward to this tour.
The horseback riding itself was enjoyable, but the tour guide, Kaz, was very businesslike. He only said what he needed to say (just explanations) and ignored us or responded coldly when we tried to say something. Even when I just wanted to confirm something as a first-time participant, he would say things like, "I just said that, didn't I?" with a laugh, and "That's why I'm asking."
When my child spoke a little loudly, he covered his ears, sighed, and told us to be quiet, saying that if we didn't keep it down, it would irritate the tour guide again. I ended up scolding my child out of frustration.
I realized he didn't like children, and it was exhausting throughout the trip.
Even when I conveyed that my child was looking forward to seeing the sea turtles, he casually replied, "They'll be around, but there are hardly any in winter."
He told us to go through the grass, and my shoes got soaked walking through the wet grass after the rain.
After the horseback riding, he just said, "We're going back right away!" without asking for any feedback, and mentioned that we were running late. I felt like I was constantly checking the tour guide's mood, and it was very tiring.
I was really disappointed since I had paid nearly 100,000 yen for the tour. I don't think I will use this company again.
このツアーを楽しみにしていました。
乗馬自体は楽しかったのですが、ツアコンのカズさんが業務的で、言いたいことだけ(説明だけ)言って、こちらがなにか言っても無視か、冷たい反応。初参加でよくわからないので確認しただけにもかかわらず、
私さっき言いましたよね?鼻で笑って、だからそれを聞いてるんです。などと言われたり、
子どもがちょっと大きな声で話したら、耳を押さえられて、ため息ついて、静かにしてください、といわれ、静かにさせないとまたツアコンの方をいらつかせるなあと、私も子どもに叱りイライラ。
彼が子どもが嫌いなのはわかりましたが、道中どっと疲れました。
また子どもがウミガメを楽しみにしてることを伝えても、
寄りますけど、冬場はほとんどいないですよ
と、あっさり。15分で戻ってきて。と、草むらを突っ切って行けと言われて、雨上がりの草むらを歩いて靴はビシャビシャ。
乗馬後も、すぐに帰りますから!とだけ言われ、感想を聞くわけでもなく、時間がおしてる。
などと言ってきて、ツアコンの方の顔色伺がって、どっと疲れて帰ってきました。
10万円近いツアー代金を払っていたので本当に残念でした。こちらの会社は2度ど利用しないと思います。

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.
送迎なしで、自分達で現地まで行きました。場所はすぐわかり、受付もスムーズでした。 乗馬中はリュック、カバンは持っていけないのでロッカーに預けます。無料ではありません。私達は車に置いて、水、カメラ、携帯などは持っていけます。片言の日本語で乗馬のやり方を説明してくれて、出発です。馬はお利口で列で歩き、走る事なく安心して乗れました。壮大な自然の中、乗馬ができて幸せでした!途中雨に打たれました。おかげで虹も見えました。 ジュラシックパークだけでなく、いくつかの映画が撮影されていました。

I started with the canyon plan, but I was suddenly informed that horseback riding was canceled due to the muddy ground from the rain the day before and the rain on the day itself, which made it even more dangerous. However, I was quickly switched to a seaside horseback riding experience where the weather was nice, and I had an incredibly fun time.
Hiro, who was different from the initial staff, was amazing until the very end. Before we went horseback riding, the staff explained the precautions in English and detailed the process of getting on the horse, which was very easy to understand. As a first-timer, I felt reassured and was able to ride without any trouble. The horse was calm and well-behaved.
After riding, I learned about tipping, which is not common in Japan. I was told that if I enjoyed the experience, I should hand over a certain amount of dollars at the end, so I was able to do that smoothly.
During lunch, I made a phone reservation to ensure we could eat as soon as the restaurant opened, and by the time we arrived, our orders were ready. Hiro also provided us with unique experiences that we wouldn't find elsewhere until just before we parted ways.
I know I've written a lot, but I truly believe that the quality of the tour was largely due to the role of the tour coordinator. Although I suddenly switched from the more expensive canyon horseback riding plan to the more affordable seaside option, thanks to Hiro, I had a really enjoyable day. Of course, the difference in price for the plans was refunded the next day.
渓谷プランでスタートしましたが、乗馬は突然の中止(前日の雨で山の地面がぬかるんでいた上に当日も雨が降ったので尚更危険な状態となった)を言い渡されました。が、しかし即、天気の良かった海辺の乗馬に入れ込んでもらい
超楽しい時間を過ごせました。
最初のスタッフと変わったHiroさん、最後の最後まで最高でしたよ。
乗馬に行く前には、乗馬のスタッフは英語で注意事項を喋るからと、こんなことの説明があるとかの馬に乗るまでの流れ等々を詳細に話してくれました。非常に分かりやすく、初体験の私も安心して苦労することなく乗馬できました。
馬も大人しく、行儀も良かったですよ。
乗馬後は、日本には無いチップについて、こういう訳で、楽しかったと思たら◯ドルを最後に手渡してあげてくださいと馬場に向かう車内て教えてもらっていたので、すんなり手渡すこともできました。
昼食時には、開店と同時に食べられるように、注文を各人に聞いて店に電話予約、店に着いた頃には、本当に注文した食事ができている状態でした。他にもヒロさんには、他では味わえないことを解散直前までやってもらいました。
長々書き込んでいますが、ツアーの内容が良かったと感じるのは、やはり同行するツアーコーディネーターの役割が100%ですね
値段の高い渓谷乗馬プランから、安めの海辺乗馬に突然なりましたが、ヒロさんのおかげで、本当に楽しい一日を過ごせました。
当然、プランの値段に対する差額は、翌日に戻ってきました。

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。

It's better to go with plenty of time to spare. By the way, it's almost completely dark at night since there are hardly any streetlights.

I enjoyed a leisurely horseback ride along the beach, greeting people who were fishing or taking walks. The scenery was truly wonderful. There are some bumpy paths, but I found them more enjoyable than riding on flat roads. While riding through the trees, my horse occasionally tried to veer off to eat grass, but I could keep it on track with the reins. Even if the horse didn't respond to my commands, I felt reassured knowing that the guides in front and behind me were there to help.
海辺をゆっくり乗馬しながら、釣りをしていたり散歩している人と挨拶したりもしました。景色が本当に素晴らしかったです。少しでこぼこした道がありますが、それも平坦な道を行くよりは楽しかったです。木々の中を乗馬していたら、馬がたまに草を食べに横道に行きそうになりますが、手綱で操作すれば真っ直ぐ進んでくれます。馬が指示を聞いてくれなくても前後のガイドの人が指導してくれるので安心でした。

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 participated in the canyon horseback riding. I was a bit worried about staying on for 90 minutes without falling off, but I had no problems and enjoyed it thoroughly. The hungry horses took a detour to eat grass right away, but when I pulled the reins, they came back nicely. The 90 minutes flew by, and I would love to participate again if I get the chance.
The garlic shrimp for lunch was different from what I had eaten the last time I visited; it was a bento with shrimp. I was a bit disappointed by that. The time spent at Dole Plantation was short, and it felt more like a bathroom break at a drive-in. I felt like it might not have been necessary. A leisurely lunch in Haleiwa would have been better.
I chose the horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch offered by the travel agency because it was bundled with other attractions, thinking it would be simpler. The horseback riding was fun, but the other activities felt unimportant. I understand now that a tour focused solely on horseback riding wouldn't be feasible. I'll keep this in mind for next time. Thank you.

ドールプランテーションも滞在時間が短くて、ドライブインでトイレ休憩みたいな感じでした。無くてもよかったような気がします。
ハレイワでゆっくりランチの方がいいですね。
旅行社オプショナルのクアロア牧場の乗馬が、他のアトラクションとセットだったので、こちらの方がシンプルかなと思い選びました。
乗馬は楽しかったのですが、他はどうでもいい感じでした。
乗馬だけのオプショナルツアーは成り立たないのだと理解しました。
次回の参考にします。
ありがとうございました。

There was no explanation of the location, and it was just a matter of following behind. It was disappointing because it was so much fun the last time I used the service.
ロケーション場所の説明もなく、ただただ後ろをついて行くだけの乗馬。以前利用した時はそんな事なく、楽しかったのに残念。

In addition to horseback riding, I was able to spend a meaningful day visiting the Dole Plantation and Haleiwa Town.
At the Dole Plantation, there wasn't much time to stay, so I could only do a light stroll and some shopping at the shop.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any sea turtles.
In Haleiwa Town, I had garlic shrimp for lunch. It was plump and delicious. Since the town isn't very large, I enjoyed walking around the shops and strolling with a coffee in hand.
Horseback riding by the beach was refreshing and fun. All the horses are smart, so I think even beginners can enjoy riding.
I was disappointed by some misinformation regarding horseback riding. The website and voucher mentioned that there would be free lockers available at the riding area, so I planned to store my valuables like my camera in a locker. However, there were no lockers, and the guide told me to keep my valuables with me, which made me anxious. I recommend bringing a small bag, like a waist pouch, to hold your valuables.
乗馬の他に、ドールプランテーションやハレイワタウンの観光も付いていて有意義に一日を過ごす事が出来ました。
ドールプランテーションでは滞在時間がそんなにないので、軽い散策とショップでの買い物くらいしかできませんでした。
ウミガメは残念ながら見られませんでした。
ハレイワタウンでは、ガーリックシュリンプを昼食に食べました。
ぷりぷりでおいしかったです。
そんなに広くない街なので、歩いてショップめぐりをしたり、コーヒーを片手に散策したりと楽しめました。
海辺での乗馬は気持ちがよく、楽しかったです。
どの馬もかしこいので、初心者でも乗馬が楽しめると思います。
乗馬に関して、事前の情報違いがあり残念でした。
「乗馬場では鍵のかかるロッカー(無料)がございます」との説明文がホームページやバウチャーに記載されていたので、カメラなど貴重品をロッカー預けようと思っていましたが、実際にはロッカーは無く、ガイドに自分で貴重品を持つように言われて焦りました。
ウエストポーチなど、貴重品を入れられる小さめのバッグを持って行くことをお勧めします。

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時間の乗馬をしました。
予約した日は雨だったので行くだけ行ってみましたが、この天気だと1時間乗れれば良い方なので、他の日はどうでしょうかと勧められた為、別日に乗ることにしました。
手際よく対応していただけたので助かりました。
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!

Horseback riding by the seaside was amazing. The tour company's guide taught us how to ride horses in detail, so even complete beginners had no problems. (On the other hand, the ranch staff spoke only English, so I couldn't understand anything. Without the guide's pre-ride briefing, would we have been able to ride at all?) After all, they are living creatures; the young women struggled as the horses seemed to underestimate them. This tour included a little sightseeing in Haleiwa, but it might be better to focus solely on horseback riding. (There were overlaps with other day tours.)
海辺の乗馬は最高でした。ツアー会社のガイドさんが、馬の乗り方を丁寧に教えてくださったので、全くの初体験者でも問題はありませんでした。(反対に牧場の方は、英語なので全然わかりません。ガイドさんの事前レクがなければ、何もわからず乗ることに?) やはり生き物、若い女性は馬になめられて扱いに苦労していました。このツアーにはわずかなハレイワ観光などが含まれていましたが、乗馬だけに特化した方が良いかもわかりません。(他の1日観光と重複するところがあったので)

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).
25歳女です。
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)

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。

Horseback riding was very enjoyable, and the staff at the ranch only spoke English but were very kind. The horses were very well-trained, and although I have a little riding experience, I think even beginners can ride comfortably.
However, the person who guided us...
They weren't a bad person, but they spoke unilaterally without checking in with us. It felt like they were progressing through the tour like a factory assembly line, just going through the motions. I intended to ask for lunch as well, but when was the order taken? At one point during the drive, lunch was mentioned, but they didn't take our order. The guide seemed to think that since there was no lunch order, everyone should take care of it themselves. As a result, everyone in the vehicle ended up getting lunch on their own.
乗馬はとても楽しく牧場の人も英語でしか話せませんでしたがとても親切でした。馬もとても慣れていて、私は乗馬経験が少しありますが、初心者でも安心して乗馬が出来ると思います。
ただ、観光を案内してくれる人が・・・
悪い人ではないのですが、一方的に話をして確認をとったりしない。工場での流れ作業の様に一人で淡々と進めていく感じでした。昼食もお願いするつもりでしたが、いつ注文?一度運転中に話をしている中で昼食についても話がでましたが、注文をとってくれませんでした。ガイドさんは昼食の注文がなかったので、各自でとって下さい。と注文をとったつもりでいた様でしたが、おかげで車中全員が各自で昼食をとりました。
