It takes about two hours to get to Gunstock Ranch by taking The Bus number 55 from Ala Moana. After passing by Kualoa Ranch, you will find Gunstock Ranch further ahead. There is only a sign along the road, so I almost missed the bus stop at Kamehameha Hwy + Opp 56-155. After getting off the bus and walking down the road marked by the sign, I arrived at Gunstock Ranch, where I could hear cheerful voices from a children's swimming class.
I arrived quite a bit earlier than the check-in time, so I spent some time playing with the horses and goats. After listening to the safety instructions, I decided not to wear a helmet and signed a separate waiver form. About 30 minutes into the horseback riding, we reached a hill where we could see the surrounding scenery, and Grace and Chad, who guided us, took some photos for us. The staff were very friendly and helped my mother, who doesn't understand English at all and is inexperienced with horseback riding, feel comfortable. I had a fulfilling two hours riding along a path covered with jungle-like trees on a very friendly horse, an experience I don't usually get to enjoy. I definitely want to visit again.
アラモアナから55番のThe Busに乗ること約2時間、クアロア牧場を通り過ぎ、さらに行ったその先にGunstock Ranchがあります。道路沿いからは看板が立っているだけなので、バス停である、Kamehameha Hwy + Opp 56-155 というバス停をあわや見逃しそうに・・・ バスから降り、看板が立っている道を奥に進んでいくと、子供のスイミング教室から楽しそうな声が聞こえるGunstock Ranchにたどり着きました。
受付時間よりだいぶ早く着いてしまったので、馬やヤギと戯れながら時間を潰し、注意事項などを聞いて、私はヘルメットをかぶらないことにしたので、別途既定の用紙へサインをしました。乗馬を開始すること30分、あたりの景色を一望出来る丘の上にたどり着き、案内をしてくれたGraceとChadに写真を撮ってもらいました。とっても気さくなスタッフの方々で、英語が全くわからず乗馬にも不慣れな私の母をしっかりとリードしてくれました。ジャングルのような木々に覆われた道をとてもフレンドリーな馬と進む、普段味わえない充実した2時間を過ごすことができました。またぜひ訪れたいと思います。

It was my first time riding a horse, but the horse was very calm, and even beginners could enjoy it. The riding course along the coast had beautiful scenery, and I was very satisfied.
The only disappointing part was the guide. Although he was a Japanese person who had lived in Hawaii for a long time, he forgot our group during the hotel pickup that morning and left without us. We had to call the hotel we were staying at, and finally, he came back to pick us up. However, his apology felt insincere, and he seemed to have no bad intentions, which made us feel bad for the other tour guests who were with us. That was the only disappointing part.
乗馬は初めてでしたが、とてもおとなしく初心者でも楽しむことができました。また、乗馬コースも海沿いでとてもきれいな景色で満足でした。
ひとつだけ残念だったのが、ガイドさんです。ハワイに長く住む日本人の方でしたが、当日朝のホテルピックアップの時点で私たちのグループだけ忘れられていて、ピックアップされず先に進んでしまったそうです。泊まっていたホテルの方に電話してもらい、ようやく車に戻ってきてもらうことができました。しかし、謝り方も適当で悪気ない様子で、逆に私たち方が同乗していた他のツアー客の方に悪いと感じてしまうようでした。そこだけが残念でした。
Thank you for your participation.

We had a two-hour horseback riding course starting at 8 AM, and the ranch was still quiet with just six of us setting off. The horses were all calm, occasionally munching on grass, but we felt safe riding up hills and crossing rivers. The mountains were shrouded in mist, and we spent a precious two hours slowly taking in the magnificent scenery, feeling as if we had stepped into a Jurassic Park movie. I was extremely satisfied!
朝8時から2時間の乗馬コース、牧場内はまだ静かで6人での出発でした。馬達はみんな静かで時々草を食べてしまう事もありましたが、坂道も川も安心して乗っていられました。

The video description in Japanese mentions that helmets are provided for free, and water bottles can be placed in the saddlebag. Throughout the ride, a local horse staff member accompanied us, opening gates along the way, but there was no guidance about filming or any other information provided. The horse guidance was limited to simple Japanese commands like "right" and "left." The handling of the horses was professional, so I felt safe; the horse I rode followed the one in front, so as long as we avoided distractions, everything was fine. It's suitable for beginners as well.
It's recommended to wear long sleeves and long pants. If your pants ride up while mounting, high socks are advisable. Soft, loose-fitting fabric for pants is also recommended. I enjoyed the views of the mountains, grasslands, and ocean in Hawaii.
日本語のビデオ説明、ヘルメット着用(無料貸出)、サドルバックにペットボトルの水などがいれられました。
出発から終わりまで、現地の馬のスタッフがひとりついてくれて途中のゲートを開けたりしてくれましたが、ここでこんな撮影がありました、などのガイドは一切無しでした。
馬の誘導も片言の日本語で右ー、左ー、という位でした。馬の扱いはプロだったので安心、乗る馬は前の馬に着いていくので、道草だけさせなければ大丈夫です。初心者でもオッケー。

I thought the 2-hour course might be a bit long, but in the end, I was glad it was 2 hours. The reservation was well organized in advance, and although there were no staff who spoke Japanese, the process was completed without any stress. Since it had just rained, my shoes got a little muddy before riding, but it wasn't a big deal, and there was no splashing of mud during the ride, so my clothes stayed clean. I was impressed by how the horse followed the instructions I was given in advance (to walk, turn, and stop), and I was overwhelmed by the grandeur of nature during those 2 hours. My butt got a bit sore, but it was nothing I couldn't quickly forget. There were lockers available for use, and the restaurant had high-quality food, which made me very satisfied. It was a facility where even older couples could enjoy themselves comfortably.
少し長いかなと思いつつ2時間コースを申し込みましたが結果的に2時間で良かったと思います。事前予約でしっかり手配されており日本語のできるスタッフはいませんでしたがストレスなく手続き完了。雨上がりだったので馬に乗るまで靴は少し泥で汚れますがたいしたことなく乗馬中は全く泥跳ねもなく服はきれいでした。事前に馬の操り方(歩く、曲がる、止まる)を教えてもらい馬が忠実に従ってくれるのに感動し、自然の雄大さに圧倒される2時間でした。ややお尻が痛くなりましたがすぐに忘れる程度、安心して使えるロッカーもありレストランもクオリティーが高く満足、初老の夫婦でも安心して楽しめる施設でした。

We participated in a 2-hour horseback riding tour as a family of four (2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 12). The female guide was precise in her instructions, and the scenery was breathtaking, making it a great recommendation for those who want to enjoy horseback riding. However, it was somewhat crowded due to participants from various routes, which made the guidance after arriving at the ranch a bit unclear. Additionally, there is quite a bit of free time before and after the horseback riding, but there isn't much to do or see, which can leave you feeling a bit idle.
2時間の乗馬ツアーに家族4人(大人2名、子供2名:10歳、12歳)で参加しました。ガイドの女性のリードも的確で、景色も絶景が楽しめて、乗馬を満喫したい人にはおすすめです。
ただし、様々なルートからのツアー参加者で多少混雑するためなのか、牧場到着後の案内がわかりづらかったです。また、乗馬を始める前と終わった後にフリータイムが結構あるのですが、あまりやることがなく、見るものも乏しいので手持無沙汰になります。

I took bus number 55 from Ala Moana Center, and it took about just under two hours to arrive. I checked the map for the bus stop where I needed to get off, and the driver helped me when I was getting off.

The horses were very easy to handle, and although there were times they didn't listen, the guide was quick to help. When we reached the top of the mountain, the view was stunning, and we were able to take commemorative photos, which made me very satisfied.

It was my first time riding in Western style, but the horses were well-trained, so I felt safe riding them.

The experience itself was very good, but if I had to be picky, it would have been even better if there had been a "photo time" of about 5-10 minutes. It’s difficult to take pictures while riding the horse, so when we took a break on the beach, I handed my smartphone or camera to the instructor, who took some photos for me, but I couldn't get the pictures I really wanted. That was a bit disappointing.
Also, the rental helmets had a slight odor, so I think it would be a good idea to bring a portable deodorizing spray if you're concerned about that.
体験自体はとても良かったのですが、欲を言えば、「写真タイム」を5-10分程度設けて頂くとさらに良かったです。馬に乗って歩き進む途中で自分で撮るのは難しいので、ビーチで一時休んだときにインストラクターさんにスマホなりカメラなり渡せば写真を撮ってくれましたが、それだと自分好みの写真を撮れません。それだけが少し残念でした。
また、レンタルのヘルメットは若干臭いましたので、気になる方は携帯用消臭スプレーなどお持ちになると良いと思います。

I participated because I wanted to try garlic shrimp and go horseback riding.
North Shore (Haleiwa) Valley Horseback Riding Plan
I was picked up at the hotel and headed to the North Shore, stopping by the Dole Plantation before arriving in Haleiwa. Before horseback riding, I aimed for the garlic shrimp at Camaron—it's a Japanese restaurant, and the shrimp was plump and creamy; I finished it in no time (laughs).
From here, we split into the horseback riding group and those who wanted to explore Haleiwa. The couple leading the horseback riding was very bright and friendly; the husband was a former polo league player. After a brief lecture, we set off right away. No helmets were required, which felt refreshing, and we rode through the forest, which was an exhilarating experience.
The horses are well-trained, so I think even beginners can enjoy it.
After horseback riding, we returned to Haleiwa, and if you're lucky, you can go to a beach where sea turtles are present. We were lucky to see two turtles on the beach! It seems the chances are higher in the afternoon.
A word of caution: since they are protected animals, you shouldn't get closer than 3 meters or touch them, as there is a fine for that.
It was the best tour!

I wanted to experience horseback riding, so I searched online and found this page. I was unsure about the shuttle service, but since there weren't many options and it seemed like there would be a long wait, I decided not to include it.
At the beginning, there was an explanation in Japanese about how to guide the horses, so I felt reassured. I chose the one-hour course, which was just the right length, and I enjoyed it while looking at the ocean.
I took the city bus to the ranch, and the bus stop was close, so there were no issues. It was great to have the ocean right in front of me.

You can make a reservation from the Kualoa website, but I was anxious about entering my credit card information on a first-time and overseas site, so I booked through this site from Japan. I scheduled my reservation for 10:45.
On the day of the visit, I purchased a one-day pass for THE BUS from Waikiki and took the No. 8 bus to Ala Moana Center around 8 AM. I got off at Ala Moana Bl + Ala Moana Center and took the No. 55 bus from the bus stop right in front. After about 1 hour and 30 minutes, I arrived at Kamehameha Hwy + Opp Kualoa Ranch at 9:30.
I passed through the front shop and handed my voucher at a kind of general counter. The lady at the reception said, "Eleven forty," and I thought, "11:45? But my reservation is for 10:45!" I kept saying, "No! Ten forty!" but she kept responding with "Eleven forty." I was frustrated, but since I could only speak basic English, I had no choice but to back down. I spent a wasted two hours eating a hamburger in the cafeteria and taking pictures with horses.
At 11:45, there was a simple horseback riding explanation in Japanese video. We started riding around noon, wandering through the mountains. It was a mountain and sea course for one hour, but mostly on mountain paths. However, it was a fun hour.
The weather was just right for this time of year, and I was perfectly fine in a short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and sneakers. However, it might be cold if it rains. Also, be careful as the raincoats they lend you are dirty.
I thought the start time was strange, and when I returned to the hotel and checked the voucher on the site, it said, "Check-In Time: 10:45." In small letters above it, it said, "Kualoa Ranch Horseback Ride/11:45." The receptionist was correct!
However, I was sure I had booked for 10:45 on VELTRA, so I checked the Kualoa Ranch page on the VELTRA site.
When I clicked on the start time of 10:45 on the application screen, it said, "Check in at the Kualoa Ranch ticket office at 10:15," "Enjoy your horseback riding time at 10:45," "There will be a Japanese video briefing," and "Activity ends at 11:45."
Something seems off...
...I got it!
When you book for 10:45, the voucher's Check-In Time becomes 10:15, and if the start time on the site is 11:45, then the voucher's Check-In Time becomes 10:45.
It’s unclear whether there was a communication issue from VELTRA to Kualoa or if my reservation for 10:45 was full and pushed to 11:45. If the card you receive in exchange for the voucher is for 11:45, then after going to the stables at 11:45 and a 10-minute explanation, the horseback riding time would be from 12:00 to 1:00.
The horseback riding and atmosphere were ★★★★★, the cafeteria was not clean ★★★, the price of $88 without transportation was too high ★★, and the man at the entrance information counter could speak a little Japanese ★★★.
With 1.5 hours of bus travel + 2 hours of waiting + 1.5 hours of horseback riding (including explanation) + 1.5 hours of bus travel + 0.5 hours of bus waiting, the total is 7 hours! Just one hour of horseback riding took 7 hours! Considering the precious travel time, the cost performance is ★. Overall ★★.
The bus indeed takes time.
It might be best to rent a car and visit Kualoa + Polynesian + North Shore in the morning, or Kualoa + Kailua (Lanikai) + Sea Life Park + Blowhole in the morning.
I apologize for the lengthy message.
クアロアのHPからでも予約できますが、
初めてのサイト&海外サイトにクレカ情報を入力するのに不安がありましたので、日本からこのサイトで予約しました。
予約は開始10:45にしました。
当日、ワイキキからTHE BUSの1日券を購入して、クヒオ通り8時頃のアラモアセンター行きNo.8に乗車。
Ala Moana Bl + Ala Moana Centerで降り、
すぐ前方のバス停からNo.55のバスに乗ります。
約1時間30分でKamehameha Hwy + Opp Kualoa Ranch下車して9時半に到着。
正面売店を通り抜けて総合カウンターみたいなとこでVOUCHERを渡します。
そこで受付のおばさんから「イレブンフォーティ」と…
11:45?…予約は10:45だぞ! 「ノー!テンフォーティ!」
何度も「テンフォーティ!」と言いましたが、「イレブンフォーティ」との返事。
ムカつきましたが、単語英語しか話せない私は引き下がるしかありません。
食堂でハンバーガーを食べたり馬の写真撮ったりして、無駄な2時間を過ごしました。
11:45から日本語ビデオにて簡単な乗馬の説明。
12時頃から乗馬。山の中をウロウロとします。
山+海コース<1時間>ですが、ほとんど山道ばかりです。
でも楽しい1時間でした。
気候的にはこの時期がちょうど良い気温で半袖、短パン、運動靴で全然平気です。
でも雨が降れば寒いかも。また貸してくれるカッパは汚いですから注意。
それにしても開始時間が変だと思い、
ホテルに帰ってからサイトでVOUCHERを確認したところ、
「Check-In Time:10:45」
その上に小さい字で「Kualca Ranch Horseback Ride/11:45」????
ネットで訳すと「クアロア牧場乗馬11:45」!!受付嬢が合っていた!
しかしVELTRAで確かに10:45で予約したはずと、
申し込んだVELTRAサイトのクアロア牧場を確認してみました。
申し込み画面の開始時刻10:45をクリックすると
「10:15 クアロア牧場内チケットオフィスにてチェックイン」
「10:45 乗馬での楽しい時間をお過ごしください。」
「日本語ビデオのブリーフィング(説明)があります。」
「11:45 アクティビティ終了」
何かおかしい…
…わかりました!
開始時刻10:45で申し込むとVOUCHERのCheck-In Timeが10:15になり、
サイトの開始時刻を11:45とするとVOUCHERのCheck-In Timeが10:45になるワケ。
VELTRAからクアロアへの伝わり方に問題があるのか、
10:45開始の予約がいっぱいで11:45にまわされたのか不明です。
VOUCHERと引き換えに貰うカードが11:45なら、
11:45に馬小屋に行き約10分の説明後、
12時から13時までの1時間が乗馬TIMEとなります。
乗馬と雰囲気は☆5
食堂が綺麗で無く☆3
料金は送迎無しで88ドルは高過ぎで☆2
入口の案内カウターのおじさんが日本語を少しできるので☆3
バス移動が1時間半+待ち時間2時間+乗馬(説明)1.5時間
+バス移動1時間半+バス待ち0.5時間で
合計7時間!たった1時間の乗馬に7時間!
貴重な旅行期間中と考えれば、コスパは☆1です。
総合☆2
やはりバスは時間がかかります。
レンタカーを借りて朝いちクアロア+ポリネシア+ノースショアを周るか、
朝いちクアロア+カイルワ(ラニカイ)+シーライフパーク+潮吹き岩に行くのが
ベストでは無いでしょうか。
長々と失礼しました。

This time, I only booked the horseback riding course, but I thought it would be more efficient to add another activity. I believe a 2-hour horseback riding tour would be fine.
今回は乗馬コースのみの予約でしたが、もう1つのアクティビティをつけた方が時間を有効活用できると思いました。2時間の乗馬ツアーなら問題ないと思います。

We participated in a 2-hour horseback riding course as a family of four. It was everyone's first time riding a horse, but thanks to the thorough video explanation and the kind guide, we quickly got used to it. I think the horses were all calm and obedient.
The tour allowed us to climb narrow mountain paths that can't be accessed by buggies, jeeps, or buses, so we were able to fully enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful scenery. I highly recommend the horseback riding course!
2時間の乗馬コースに家族4名で参加しました。
馬に乗るのは全員初めてでしたが、丁寧なビデオの説明と、親切なガイドの方のおかげですぐに慣れました。馬もおとなしい従順な馬ばっかりだったと思います。
ツアーでは、バギーやジープ、バスなどで入れない細い山道を登れるので、静かな雰囲気で良い景色を充分楽しむことが出来ました。乗馬コース、おすすめします!

Riding along the coastline allows you to truly feel nature, and it's the best experience. The duration is just right, so I didn't feel any pain in my backside. The horses are calm and respond well to commands. The female staff who guided us were also very kind.
海岸線の乗馬は自然を凄く感じて乗馬出来て最高です。
時間も丁度いい感じで、お尻が痛くないです
馬も大人しくて、言うことを良く聞いてくれます
ガイドしてくれる、女性スタッフも親切でした。

It was a one-hour horseback riding course. I drove to the location with a rental car, and it was easy to find without getting lost while following Google Maps. The course offered views of both the sea and the mountains, which I was satisfied with. However, the sea felt like it was seen from a distance, so it wasn't like walking along the beach. We walked in a line with a group of about ten horses, and I felt reassured because two instructors were carefully watching over us.
1時間の乗馬コースでした。レンタカーで現地まであったのですが、Googlemapを見ながら、道も迷うことなくわかりやすかったです。コースは海も山も見られて満足しました。ただ、海は遠くから見えた感じなのでビーチ沿いを散歩するという感じではありません。10頭ぐらいのグループで一列になって歩くのですが、2名のインストラクターが注意深く見守ったくださっているので安心でした。

I had signed up for the 12:15 tour, but when I arrived before the check-in time of 11:15, they said, "If you'd like, you can switch to the 11:15 tour." Since I originally wanted to join the 11:15 tour, I happily agreed.
After watching the instructional video (which included Japanese) on how to handle the reins and give commands to the horse, it was finally time to ride.
With the guide leading the way, we proceeded slowly and leisurely. At first, I was a bit nervous, but as I got used to it, I felt really good! The horse I was riding was a bit mischievous and kept trying to eat grass by the roadside and occasionally picked up the pace. Each time, I would pull on the reins to give commands, which actually made me feel like I was "controlling the horse," and it was fun.
I thought, "Is two hours too long?" but for me, it was just the right length for the course.
12:15のツアーに申し込んでいたのですが、チェックイン時間の11:15より前に行くと、「よければ、11:15のツアーに変更できますよ。」とのこと。もともと、11:15のツアーに申し込みたかったので、喜んでOK。
案内ビデオ(日本語あり)で手綱の扱い方や馬への支持の仕方等を観て、いよいよ乗馬。
ガイドさんを先頭に、ゆっくりのんびり進みます。最初は少し緊張していましたが、慣れてくるととってもいい気分! ボクが乗っていた馬は、少々やんちゃ(?)で、道端の草を何度も食べ始めたり、少し早足になったり。そのたびに手綱を引っ張って指示を出すのですが、それがかえって「馬を操っている。」という気持ちになれて、楽しかったです。
「2時間は長いかな?」と思っていましたが、ボクにとってはちょうどよいコースでした。

This experience was one of a kind. To see the island from the back of a horse was truly special. At one point in the tour, you are able to see the curvature of the island on three sides, something that was remarkable to see. I highly recommend this tour!
Aloha,
