All Reviews for Horseback Riding Tours

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。
・スタートの馬小屋近くは

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。
木漏れ日が射してきて、海が見えるようになるころにはすっかり乾きました。コース中に見どころがちりばめられていて、２時間コースにして良かったです。雄大な自然は圧巻です。

Previously, I had an experience riding horses at Kualoa Ranch, so this time I decided to try this tour. The tour, which included not only horseback riding but also visits to Dole Plantation and Haleiwa Town, was very satisfying for us as we aimed to ride horses! I thought the 45 minutes of riding time might be short, but I was able to see many beautiful landscapes and truly feel the essence of Hawaii! The timing of the other tour activities was just right, and during the transfers, the driver shared various stories, allowing us to spend a fulfilling half day.

以前、クアロア牧場で乗馬を体験したのもあり、今回はこちらにしてみました。乗馬だけでなく、ドールプランテーションやハレイワタウンにも行けるツアーは乗馬を目的とした私たちには大変満足な内容でした！45分の乗馬時間も短いかなと思ってましたが、たくさんキレイな景色を観られ、充分ハワイを感じることが出来ました！他のツアー時間もちょうど良く、移動中もドライバーの方がいろいろお話し下さり、内容の濃い半日を過ごすことができました。

The waves were high, so we couldn't see the sea turtles, but the weather was great, and the horses were very smart, making for a fun horseback riding experience!

Since I brought my camera, I was able to take wonderful photos with pineapples and the sky at Dole. I think it's one of the best spots to utilize your camera! Additionally, the guide provided us with little tidbits of information and insights into Hawaiian history, as well as future information about Hawaii, which was very helpful. There was so much information that you wouldn't find in a guidebook, and the local guide was, above all, the best guidebook!

波が高く海亀はみることが出来ませんでしまが、お天気恵まれ、馬もとても利口で楽しく乗馬ができました！

シータを持っていっていたので、Doleではパイナップルと空とで素敵な写真が撮影できました。
シータを活用できる場所としてはベストスポットではないかと思います！
また、ガイドさんのプチ情報やハワイの歴史がきけたり、今後のハワイの情報などがとてもありがたかったです。ガイドブックにはない情報が満載で現地ガイドさんがなによりもベストガイドブックでした！！

We participated as a family of four during the summer vacation. They came to pick us up at the hotel on time in the morning, and along the way, they shared stories about mango trees and former President Obama, making the journey enjoyable. They were considerate enough to ensure we had enough time for sightseeing in Haleiwa, allowing us to have a leisurely and delicious lunch. The main event, horseback riding along the coast, was so much fun that I can't even put it into words. They matched each rider with a horse based on the horse's personality. I was impressed by how many different personalities they have, just like humans. The horse for my elementary school son and me was very obedient, while my daughter and husband's horse was laid-back and a bit of a foodie, often stopping to graze, which made it a bit challenging! Those moments became fun memories as well. The view of the ocean from horseback was incredibly beautiful and refreshing. On the way back, the kids kept saying they wanted to go again! I would love to participate again as well. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience!

夏休みに家族4人で参加しました。朝も時間通りにホテルまでお迎えに来てくれて、道中もマンゴーの木を教えてくれたりオバマ元大統領の話をしてくれたり、と楽しい道中でした。ハレイワでの観光に時間が取れるようにと気にかけていただいたのでゆっくり美味しくランチを食べることができました。メインの海岸沿いでの乗馬はもう言葉にならないくらい楽しかったです。馬の個性を見ながら乗る人を決めてくれていました。人間と同じであんなにもいろんな個性を持っているのだと感心しました。私と小学生の息子の馬は従順な子だったのですが、長女と主人の馬はマイペースで食いしん坊な子で、何度も寄り道したりして苦戦してました！それも楽しい思い出です。馬上から眺める海も最高に美しく気持ちの良いものでした。
帰り道で子供たちはまた行きたい！と何度も言ってました。私も是非また参加させていただきたいです。
素敵な経験をさせていただきありがとうございました！

You can go horseback riding in the great nature of Hawaii, even as a beginner. The scenery is wonderful, and I was truly moved.

The guide was very kind and attentive.

I recommend scheduling a morning horseback ride that allows you to plan for an afternoon drive with a rental car.

ハワイの大自然の中を初心者でも乗馬できます。景色も素晴らしく、感動しました。

ガイドさんもとても優しく、丁寧です。

レンタカーでのドライブと、午後からの予定も組める午前中の乗馬をおすすめします。

The driver was very kind and explained in detail about delicious restaurants and how to handle the horses. Thanks to that, it became a memorable day. I felt that the free time in Haleiwa Town was too short, so I think it would be better to have more time.

ドライバーさんがとても親切な方で、美味しいお店や馬の扱い方などを丁寧に詳しく説明してくださいました。
お陰様で思い出深い一日となりました。
ハレイワタウンでのフリータイムが短くて足りなかったので、もっと時間を長く取れるといいと思います。

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.

朝早く集合したのに、結局アクティビティが始まったのは11時過ぎ。アクティビティが終わってからもすぐに帰れるわけではなく、無駄な待ち時間が多い。このツアーでほぼ1日終わってしまった。連絡先もメールしかなく、トラブルがあったときどうするのかと疑問です。

I was able to ride horses privately, so I received instruction that matched my level. Additionally, the lunch at the mountain top was excellent in both food and view. The view from the handmade swing was also exceptional!

プライベートで乗馬出来たので、レベルにあった指導をして頂けました。また、山頂での昼食は、料理、眺めが最高でした。また、手作りブランコから見る眺めも格別でした！

My child expressed a desire to try horseback riding, and after researching various options, I chose this tour that allows even a 7-year-old to ride for the first time. Other tours had age restrictions that we couldn't meet. Additionally, since I had never rented a car before, the fact that we could see the North Shore while horseback riding was a deciding factor.

The result was a great choice! When we stopped by the North Shore in the morning and visited Matsumoto Shave Ice, it was surprisingly empty. We thoroughly enjoyed the shave ice with my child. By the way, when we went back to Haleiwa in the afternoon after horseback riding, Matsumoto Shave Ice had a long line, so it was definitely the right decision to go in the morning!

After that, we moved on to start horseback riding. It was the first time for our whole family, but the guide explained everything in Japanese multiple times during the car ride, and the horses were well-trained, so there were no issues at all. My 7-year-old daughter seemed to have a lot of fun, calmly riding her horse while talking to it. I thought someone would be holding the reins for her, but that wasn't the case (laughs). She was really on her own.

The weather was great, and there were spots where we could see the valley and the ocean, which felt wonderful! My husband and the kids really enjoyed it too. It seemed like they appreciated that it wasn't just going around in circles on the ranch!

I liked it so much that I would definitely want to do it again when we go back to Hawaii!

子供から乗馬をしたいとの希望があり、いろいろ調べたところ、初めての７才でも乗せてもらえるこのツアーを選びました。他のツアーの乗馬は年齢制限にひっかかったので…。また、レンタカーは借りたことがないのでノースショアも見つつ乗馬もできるということも決め手でした。
結果は正解！午前中にノースショアに立ち寄ったときに、マツモトシェイブアイスにいったら、なんとガラガラ。子供とシェイブアイスを十分楽しめました。ちなみに乗馬のあとの午後に再びハレイワに行ったときは、マツモトシェイブアイスはすごく行列していたので、午前中に食べて正解でした！
その後移動して乗馬開始。家族みんな初めての乗馬でしたが、行きの車でガイドさんが日本語で何回も説明してくれたのと、馬がかなり調教されていたので、全く問題なしでした。
７才の娘もとても楽しかったらしく、自分の馬に話しかけながらずっと落ち着いて１人でのっていました。誰か手綱を引いてくれるのかと思ってましたが、違いました(笑)。本当に１人でしたよ。
天気もよくて、渓谷と海が見える場所もあり、とても気持ち良かったです！主人も子供たちもかなり気に入っていました。牧場内をぐるぐるまわるだけではないのが良かったみたいです！

またハワイにいったら是非お願いしたいくらいとっても気に入りました！

Unlike regular horseback riding in Japan, riding leisurely through nature was the best. I was healed by the sound of the wind rustling the leaves and the scenery!

普段の日本での乗馬とは違い、自然の中をのんびりと歩く乗馬は最高でした。風が葉を揺らの音や景色に癒されました！

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.

乗馬2時間コース（送迎付き）に参加しました。
10歳の娘がいること、体力的なことなど不安がありましたが、全然問題ありませんでした。お尻が痛くなるとの書き込みが多く心配していましたが、思ったほどのことはなく、大丈夫でした。
お馬さん達がおりこうさんで、安心して乗っていられます。時々道草を食いますが、これがないと自分で乗馬している感じがしないかも？と思うくらいです。日本ではなかなか体験できない2時間の乗馬とすばらしい景色。行ってよかったです。
送迎時間が決まっているため、待ち時間が長いことを心配していましたが、9時半～2時間の乗馬で帰りは1時にバス出発でした。お昼を食べてお土産屋さんをひやかしていたらちょうどいい感じです。

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.

一時間ぐらいかな海岸線と農場をゆっくり乗馬、かなり綺麗です。
9歳の息子も一番の思い出だそうです
山側と海側でスタッフが写真を撮ってくれます
スタッフは英語のみです、でもどうにかなると思います

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 course in the mountains after the rain was a bit muddy, which made me a little anxious, but the horse walked very well. There were times when I slipped, but the horse maintained its balance, so it wasn't a problem. I think the course on a sunny day would also be nice, but the course after the rain was thrilling and fun. The boss doesn't speak Japanese, but the guide provides a thorough explanation before riding, and there are illustrated signs, so there's no need to worry.

雨が降った後の山のコースだったため、足元がぬかるみ少し不安でしたが、馬が上手に歩いてくれました。時々滑りましたが、馬が上手にバランスをとってくれるので問題ありませんでした。晴天のときのコースも良いと思いますが、雨が降った後のコースもスリリングで楽しかったです。ボスは日本語を話しませんが、乗馬前にガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくれるし、イラストで説明された説明版があるので心配いりません。

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.

Toshi, our driver guide, was a kind and fun person. On the day of the tour, there were a total of 10 people picked up from three different hotels, and we were able to leave each hotel ahead of schedule, which made for a very pleasant start to the tour.

Although the weather was a bit bad, we were able to enjoy horseback riding and had a great day. I felt that the horseback riding was a bit more active and enjoyable than at Kualoa. My husband had his first horseback riding experience, and he seemed to really enjoy it, saying he wanted to ride again after we finished.

We couldn't see the turtles in Haleiwa, as it seems there is a specific season for that, but I recommend checking the timing if you're looking forward to seeing them. (You can gauge the chances of seeing them based on the guide's comments, haha.) For lunch, we thoroughly enjoyed garlic shrimp and huli huli chicken and were very satisfied.

ドライバーガイドのトシさんが親切で楽しい人でした。
当日は、異なるホテル３ヵ所からのピックアップ計10人のツアーでしたが、
何処のホテルも時間より早く出発でき、とても気持ちの良いツアースタートで
した。
少しだけ悪天候気味でしたが、乗馬を充分楽しめて良い一日を過ごせました。
私は、クアロアでの乗馬よりもう少しアクティブで楽しいなぁとと感じました。
主人は乗馬初体験でしたが、終了後また乗馬をしたいと、かなり気に入っていたようです。

ハレイワの亀は、時期があるようなのでみれませんでしたが、楽しみにしているかたは、時期を調べて行かれるのをお勧めします。
（当日観れる確率はガイドさんの話ぶりで解ります（笑））
ランチはガーリックシュリンプ、フリフリチキンを堪能し大満足です。

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 was worried about horseback riding for the first time, but the Japanese guide taught us carefully, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind! During the bus ride, they talked about recommended shops and the town of Hawaii, allowing us to fully enjoy the day. The only disappointment was that we couldn't meet any sea turtles at Turtle Bay.

初めての乗馬で心配していましたが、日本語ガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくださったので、安心して楽しむことができました！
バス道中でも、オススメのお店やハワイの街についてお話ししてくださり、一日満喫することができました(*´-`)
タートルベイでは、ウミガメに会うことができなくてそれだけが残念でした(´；ω；`)

It was the first experience for the whole family, but after a while, it became enjoyable. The scenery was amazing, and above all, the horses were cute. The locals were kind and friendly as well.

家族全員が初体験でしたがしばらくすれば楽しくなってきました。景色も最高で何より馬がかわいい。現地の人も親切で優しかったです。

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!!

初めての乗馬体験でしたが、みなさんの口コミを頼りに思い切って2時間コースにしてみました（＾Ｏ＾）
正直言って、お尻がめちゃくちゃ痛くなりました笑
始めに日本語の説明ムービーを流してくれますが、体験中は英語とジェスチャーで乗り切りました。山の中をしばらくお散歩したあと、途中で海が見えてきて、牧場の中に入り、ジェラシックパークの撮影現場を通過し、たまに川を越えたり、スピードアップしたりと、なかなか充実した2時間でした！！

I participated with my 4-year-old child. The tour guide accompanied my child for horseback riding, which made us feel secure. Both my child and I had a great time.

4歳の子供と参加しました。
子供にはツアーの人が付き添いで乗馬をしてもらい安心して参加できました。
子供も私も大変楽しかったです。

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！

My first trip to Hawaii and the first option tour!
It was great that the driver was Japanese, and I could hear various stories.
At Dole, the pineapple and soft serve were quite substantial, but they were very delicious.
After that, we went to the beach to see sea turtles, but unfortunately, the turtles didn't show up. My wife was very disappointed, but we caught a glimpse of one while driving.
In North Shore, we had lunch and did some light shopping (we could have used a bit more time).
Finally, it was time for horseback riding. My horse was quite well-behaved, but my wife's horse was a bit stubborn?! We struggled a bit, but the sea breeze along the coast felt really nice.
On the way back, thanks to the driver's suggestion, we stopped by a nut farm, which was also delicious.
It was a really great tour. Thank you!

初めてのハワイで最初のオプションツアー！
運転手さんが日本人で色々な話しも聞けて良かったです
Doleではパイナップルとソフトクリームなかなかのボリュームでしたがとても美味しかったです
そのあと海ガメを見に海岸へ行きましたが残念ながら亀さんは現れず妻がとても残念がっていましたが車で移動中に一瞬見れなんとか…
ノースシェアでは昼飯と軽いショッピング(もう少し時間が)
いよいよ乗馬、自分の馬はなかなかお利口さんでしたが妻の馬はちょっとわがまま？！で悪戦苦闘しましたが海岸沿いは浜風が吹きとても気持ち良かったです
帰りは運転手さんのはからいでナッツ園に寄って頂きこれまた美味しかったです
とても良いツアーでしたありがとうございます

On the way to the horseback riding point, thanks to the guide who kindly taught us how to ride horses in Japanese, I was able to ride smoothly from the very beginning!

乗馬ポイントへ向かう途中の車内で、ガイドさんが馬の乗り方についてとても丁寧に日本語で教えてもらえたおかげで、最初からスムーズに乗ることができました！

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!

日本語は少し通じるスタッフが優しく 教えてくださいます。
ノースショアの海辺と 木々の間も 乗馬出来て
しかも時間も 長いので充分満喫出来ました。
天気もよく 最高な日になりました！

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。
6人のお客のうち、日本人は私達だけでした。

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。
