All Reviews for Horseback Riding Tours

This horseback riding experience was a bit of a failure in terms of location. I thought it would be closer to Turtle Bay Resort, but it was quite far away (there are also horseback riding facilities within the resort). I rented a car to secure transportation to the site. This time, it was a disappointment.

今回の乗馬は場所的に失敗しました。
タートル ベイ リゾートからもう少し近いと思って・・・いましたが
かなり、離れていて（リゾート内にも乗馬施設あり）
行くまでの手段の確保にレンタカーをレンタルして現地へ向かいました。
今回は失敗しました。

I had a great time horseback riding for two hours in nature. It's a shame I couldn't ride the tram due to time constraints.

It's also disappointing that there was no explanation about the attractions before entering.

自然の中で二時間も乗馬できて楽しかったです。
時間がなくトラムには乗れなかったのが残念です。

入場前にどんなアトラクションがあるのか、全く説明がなかったなが、残念です。

Tour was great and weather was great luckily. Staff was very knowledgeable about area.

First, we gathered at the Sheraton bus stop. There is a counter where you check in and receive a wristband. Each activity has a different color wristband. Upon arrival, there is an explanation in Japanese about how to check in for each activity. During the waiting time between activities, you can buy souvenirs, have lunch at a café, or visit the Kualoa Ranch History Museum. The menu includes items like hamburgers (around $10 for a classic burger), loco moco, and garlic shrimp. For horseback riding, you store your belongings in a locker, check in, and then watch an orientation video in Japanese. Local participants received orientation directly from the instructor in English. It seems that horses have their own personalities, as some people encountered horses that strayed off the course. However, since the horses are well-trained, we were able to enjoy horseback riding while taking in the natural surroundings and experiencing authentic riding. The schedule indicated a departure from Kualoa Ranch around 2:00 PM, but we were able to leave at 1:00 PM, which minimized our waiting time and allowed us to make effective use of the following hours. The one-hour horseback ride was a simple course, but it was great to fully enjoy the great outdoors and experience horseback riding.

まず、シェラトンのバス乗り場に集合しました。カウンターがあるのでそこでチェックインんして、リストバンドをもらいます。コースごとに色がちがいます。到着すると各アクティビティのチェックイン方法の説明が日本語であります。アクティビティの間の待ち時間にはお土産を買ったり、カフェでランチをとったり、クアロアランチヒストリーミュージアムをみたりできます。ハンバーガー(クラシックバーガー10ドルくらい)やロコモコ、ガーリックシュリンプなどのメニューがあります。乗馬は荷物をロッカーに預けて、チェックインをした後、日本語のビデオでオリエンテーションがあります。現地の人は英語でインストラクターから直接オリエンテーションを受けていました。馬にも性格があるようでコースからそれてしまう馬にあたっている人もいました。しかしながら、調教がしっかりとされているので、自然を楽しみながら乗馬する余裕がありながら、本格的な乗馬を体験できました。スケジュールでは14:00-15:00ごろクアロアランチ発となっていましたが、13:00には、クアロアランチを出発できたので、待ち時間も少なく、その後の時間も有効に活用することができました。
1時間の乗馬でシンプルなコースですが、大自然を満喫して、乗馬も体験できたので、すごく良かったです。

It was a 2-hour horseback riding experience. There was someone who could speak Japanese to assist us, which was reassuring and very appreciated. Since there is one guide for each group, we were a group of six, but it might be more enjoyable with a smaller group. The 2-hour course felt quite long. I think one hour would be just right for a first-time rider. I may have been a bit greedy (laughs). The horses were well-trained and sometimes caused a bit of trouble, but they were smart. Kualoa Ranch offers various activities, so I think it's great to combine them for more fun.

乗馬体験2時間コースでした。日本語のできるお手伝いしてくれる方がいました。安心しましたし、大変ありがたかったです。グループ毎にガイドさんが一名なので、私達は6名のグループでしたが、もう少し少ない方が楽かもしれません。2時間コース、けっこう長かったです。初めての乗馬なら1時間でちょうどいいような気がしました。欲張り過ぎました(笑)馬はよく躾けられており、時々困らせてくれましたが、お利口さんです。クアロア牧場は様々なアクティビティがあるので、組み合わせて楽しむのもいいと思います。

Although there are some detours, considering just the horseback riding, the price feels a bit high. However, the location is good, and I think it was nice to enjoy a bit of Haleiwa as well.

寄り道はあるものの乗馬だけと考えると料金的には高い気がしますが
ロケーションはよく、ハレイワも少しは楽しめるのでよかったかと。

I wondered if two hours would be too long, but it wasn't at all; before I knew it, the time had flown by as I became completely absorbed in the experience. Riding in such magnificent scenery, which you can't see in Japan, made me feel like an adventurer or an explorer.

Even though I can only speak a few words, the reception and the guide were friendly and accommodating, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience.

My wife's horse was lively and sometimes didn't listen, while my horse was timid and descended slowly but was obedient. It was fun to see the differences in their personalities.

2時間では長いかな？と思いましたがそんなことはなく夢中になっているうちに終わってしまっていました。日本では見られないような壮大な景色の中、体験する乗馬はまるで冒険家、探検家になったかのような気分でした。
単語しかしゃべれない私にも受付、ガイドの方ともに対応、愛想が良く安心して楽しめました。
また嫁の馬は活発で言うことを聞かない場面も。私の馬は臆病で下りはゆーっくり下る子だけど従順だったり性格に違いもみれるのも楽しかったです。

We participated as a couple. The horses were very well-behaved, and it was great. It was my first experience, but I think I might get hooked.

夫婦で参加しました。馬がかなり行儀がよく、とても良かったです。初めての体験でしたが、くせになりそうです。

I had a 2-hour horseback riding experience!
It was my first time riding, but the two hours flew by.
It felt like I had truly stepped into the world of Jurassic Park.
The staff were very friendly, and when my horse stopped to eat grass, they came over to guide the horse.
I had some anxiety, but there was nothing to worry about.

I'm really glad I could have such a wonderful experience in Hawaii.
There are many other tours, like beach tours, in Hawaii, but I really want to recommend this 2-hour horseback riding course.

私は2hコース乗馬の体験をしました！
乗馬は初めてでしたが、２時間はあっという間に過ぎてしまいました
まるで本当にジュラシックパークの中に迷い混んだ世界観がそこにはありました。
スタッフの方もとても気さくで
途中私の馬が草を食べて寄り道したときは、こちらに来て馬を指導してくれたり
不安もありましたが、心配することは何もありませんでした

こんなすてきな体験がハワイで出来て本当に良かったです。
他にも、ビーチのﾂｱｰなどもハワイには沢山ありますが
私はこの乗馬２時間コースをとてもお勧めしたいと思いました。

I might have needed to mention this beforehand, but if I was expecting a title like "Enjoy the Ranch with a Course That Suits You," there was no level check or inquiry about my preferences; it was just a slow, straightforward walk.

事前に言っておかなければならなかったのかもしれませんが、「あなたに合ったコースで牧場を満喫」というタイトルを期待していたら、レベルチェックも希望を聞かれることもなく、ただ淡々とゆっくり歩くだけでした。

My son and I just did the 90 minute scenic tour. It was his first time and it was absolutely fantastic! The whole trail was very smooth and the view was breathtaking like no other. Our wranglers were very knowledgeable about the trail and very attentive. My son who is 8 absolutely enjoyed the ride and had no problem riding this trail. Definitely a ‘must activity’ at Gunstock Ranch!

The horseback riding time was quite long, and I enjoyed walking along the coast. I felt that the Dole Plantation wasn't really necessary.

乗馬の時間は結構長く、海沿いも歩いたので楽しめました。
ドールプランテーションは要らなかったかなーという感じです

I had the image of a staff member leading each horse for a walk, but instead, it was really nice to see them trotting along freely.

1人ずつ係りの人が馬を引いて散歩するイメージがありますが、それではなくパカパカとお散歩する感じがとても良かったです。

I arrived a little late to the meeting place, but it was a lot of fun. The main purpose was horseback riding, but I was also able to stroll around the town of Haleiwa (the garlic chicken was delicious). Although I didn't see any turtles due to the season, I was excited to see a seal during the horseback riding. The horses are cute and gentle, making it a great option for beginners.

待ち合わせ場所には少し遅れて迎えがきましたが、とても楽しかったです。
目的は、乗馬でしたがハレイワの街を散策出来たり（フリフリチキンが美味しかったです。）時期的にカメはお目にかかれませでしたが乗馬の時にアザラシがいてテンション上がりました。馬も可愛いし、おとなしいので初心者にもオススメです。

I was worried that I couldn't participate because I forgot to copy the voucher, but when I informed the staff on-site, they assured me it was okay, and I was able to join!

It was my first time horseback riding for 2 hours, but the staff was kind and taught me well, so I had a great time on the movie course! I think it would be twice as fun for those who have seen the movie, haha. Since I hadn't watched it much, I felt a bit confused even when they explained things.

I boarded the bus from the Sheraton bus stop, but the bus was about 15 minutes late, and I was quite worried that I might have missed it.

バウチャーをコピーし忘れて、参加できないかと不安になりましたが、
忘れた旨を現地窓口の方に伝えたら、大丈夫とのお返事を頂き参加できました〜

2h乗馬するのは初めてでしたが、係りの方も親切に教えてくださり、楽しく映画コースを回れました！
映画観てた人だと2倍くらい楽しいと思います 笑 あまり観てなかったから、説明されても ？って感じでした

シェラトンのバス乗り場から乗りましたが、15分くらいバスが遅れていて、乗りそびれたのでは？と結構心配になりました〜

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。

Despite the rain, I was able to enjoy horseback riding and the scenery very much. I also enjoyed the atmosphere of Jurassic Park, which was great.

雨の中でしたが、とても気持ちよく乗馬と景色を楽しむことが出来ました。
ジュラシックパークの雰囲気も楽しめてとてもよかったです。

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。

I drove from Honolulu.
The entrance is easy to find because there are signs.

You can take a leisurely horseback ride along the beach, and the photos turned out great with the ocean as the backdrop.
This is my third time horseback riding in Hawaii, but if you want to ride by the beach, this is the best place to go!
I apologize for sharing my experience a year later. I will make a reservation next month!

ホノルルから車で行きました。
看板があるので入口は分かりやすいです。

海辺をゆっくり乗馬しながら散歩でき、写真もとってもいい感じに、海をバッグに撮っていただけました。
ハワイの乗馬いくのはここで、3こめですが海辺を乗馬したいなら一番おすすめです！
体験談一年後になりごめんなさい。来月予約します！

Finally... I was taken to a souvenir shop for black coral???

The worst!!

Everyone who participated came out empty-handed.

What was that???

You must be getting a rebate from the souvenir shop, right??

Is it the company??? Or the individual who took us there!!

As a business owner, I understand everything. (This is my advice)

I always use your company.

Next time, if there are no issues like this, I will use you again!!

最後に・・・黒サンゴ？？？のお土産屋さんに連れていかれた！！

最悪！！

参加した人が全員手ぶらで出て来ました。


あれは？？？

お土産さんからリベート頂いてますよね！！

会社か？？？連れてった個人がね！！


私は経営者だからすべてわかります。（私からのアドバイスです）

いつも貴社を使わして頂いてます。

次回は？？？こんな事がなければ使いますけどね！！

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。
山には靄がかかり雄大な景色をゆっくり眺めながらジェラシックパークの映画の中に入り込んだような貴重な2時間を過ごしました。
大満足でした！

This is wonderful! Even though it started raining halfway through the ride, we continued and it was just amazing! I hadn’t ridden since I was a child, so I was very happy with the gentle horse they gave me.

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。
長袖長ズボン。またがってズボンの裾が上がる場合はハイソックスがおすすめです。
ズボンは柔らかい生地、ゆったりめかおすすめです。
ハワイの山と草原、海を見れて楽しめました

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 always enjoyed horseback riding in the canyon, but this time I participated in beach horseback riding. The seaside views were amazing, and I was very satisfied with this experience.

Along the way, I was able to shop in the town of Haleiwa and was introduced to a different delicious garlic shrimp place, allowing for a leisurely exploration that left me very satisfied. I would love to participate again.

いつも渓谷の乗馬を楽しんでいましたが、今回は海辺乗馬に参加させて頂きました。海辺の景色は最高で、こちらも大満足でした。

途中にハレイワの街で買い物したり、ガーリックシュリンプの今までとは違う別の美味しいお店を紹介して頂いたりと自由に散策出来て大満足でした。また参加させて頂きたいと思います。

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. There were two of us who experienced horseback riding; we had tried it about a year ago at Kualoa Ranch. This time, I chose Gunstock Ranch because they had a longer plan available. 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. I would love to experience this again if I have the chance! ☺︎︎

アラモアナセンターから55番のバスに乗り、到着までは約2時間弱程でした。降りるバス停は地図で確認しながら向かい、降りる時に運転手の方に教えてもらいました。乗馬体験をしたのは2人で、1年ほど前にクアロアランチで乗馬を体験しました。ガンストック牧場の方が時間が長いプランがあったので今回はこちらを選ばせていただきました。馬はとても扱いやすく、時々言うことを聞かない時がありましたが、ガイドの方がすぐにヘルプをしてくれました。山の頂上まで登ると、すごく景色が綺麗で、記念写真を撮ってもらえて大満足です。また機会があったら体験したいです☺︎︎

My wife and daughters (13 and 15) and I went riding at Gunstock Ranch. Booking online was a breeze, and our wrangler Kate was ready and waiting for us when we arrived. She efficiently set us up on our horses and went over basic riding skills. The horses were very healthy and well behaved. Kate took us on a 90 min ride around the ranch, stopping for a very scenic photo op at the top of the hill. The experience was wonderful, very organized and enjoyable. We will definately visit Gunstock again if we return to Oahu!

My family and I went to Gunstock Ranch for the 90 min ride. Our wrangler was Kate who was amazing! She took some time to aquaint us with our horses and determine our level of skill. Our horses were very well behaved, absolutely beautiful and healthy. Once we were all set, we headed on up the trail! Kate was very knowledgeable about the Ranch and Oahu history even though she had only been working there for 3 weeks. The ride was very peaceful and enjoyable. The view at the top was breathtaking, and Kate took a beautiful family photo for us at the top.

We would definately go back if we visit Oahu again!

I was able to fully enjoy the great nature of Hawaii. When I thought of Hawaii, I only had Waikiki Beach in mind, but the mountains are amazing too! As expected of a volcanic island. While leisurely gazing at the majestic mountains and beautiful sea, there was even a bit of thrilling river crossing. I want to go again.

ハワイの大自然を満喫できました。
ハワイと言えばワイキキビーチしか
頭になかったのですが、なんのなんの
山もすごい‼︎ さすがは火山島です。
ゆっくりゆったり、雄大な山と美しい海を眺めながら、ちょっとスリリングな川渡りもあったり。また行きたいです。
