I participated in beach horseback riding, which is available for those aged seven and older. The weather was nice, and the ocean was impressive and very enjoyable. The free time in Haleiwa was a bit limited. Next time, I want to ride the Dole Pineapple Express as well.
七歳以上が参加できる海岸乗馬に参加しました。お天気も良く、海は迫力でとても良かったです。ハレイワの自由時間がやや少なめでした。今度はドールのパイナップル電車にも乗りたいです。

In the midst of a busy schedule, I decided to take a solo trip to Hawaii two weeks ago without any plans. However, I received many emails from HIS about their optional tours, and they all looked fun, so I decided to join one of their plans!
It was my first time going to the North Shore. A few days later, if the conditions were good, there would be a world championship at Ehukai Beach, and I found the various shops in Haleiwa very interesting. The horseback riding was also a wonderful experience, allowing us to stroll leisurely through the valley!
I think the reason I enjoyed this tour so much was because Hiro, our guide, was very good at talking, which made the tour even more enjoyable! His self-deprecating humor was the best! I felt like I wanted to join another tour guided by Hiro the next time I come to Hawaii!!
バタバタの中、2週間前にHawaii1人旅を決めノープランで現地に着いてしまいましたが、HISさんのオプションツアーの案内が沢山メールで届き、どれも楽しそうで、こちらのプランにも参加してみました!
ノースショアへ行ったのは初めてでした。数日後にコンディションがよければ世界大会が行われるEhukai Beachの波や、ハレイワタウンの色んなお店も興味深く、乗馬も渓谷をゆっくり散歩できとても楽しいプランでした!
そうなったのも、案内してくれたHiroさんがとてもお話が上手だったので、よりこのツアーが楽しく感じれたんだと思います!自虐ネタも最高でした!
またHawaiiに来た時は、Hiroさんが案内してくれるツアーに参加したいと思ったほどです!!

I chose this plan because I wanted to go to the North Shore. The guide took us to various places in detail, which was really great. I even got to see a sea turtle. However, lunchtime was quite short and busy. The horse I rode was very well-behaved, but as a first-time rider, I found it a bit scary when it occasionally ran. Walking along the coast was very pleasant. It's a plan that allows you to fully enjoy the day!
ノースショアに行きたくこのプランにしました。ガイドさんが細かく色々連れて行ってくれて本当に良かったです。ウミガメにも出会えました。ただ、ランチタイムはかなり少なく忙しかったです。
乗馬はかなりお利口さんの馬でしたが乗馬初体験の私にとってはたまに走ったりがかなり怖かったです…海沿いは気持ち良くお散歩することが出来ました。
1日たっぷり満喫出来るプランです‼︎

It was the best horseback riding experience. The explanations in English were very easy to understand, even for my 12-year-old and 8-year-old children. The people who accompanied us were fun and great! The horseback riding lasted a full hour along the coast, and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the clarity of the water in Haleiwa. The location was also easy to get to. The sign is quite simple, so you might wonder if it's the right place, but I think it has a nice Hawaiian feel to it. I believe it would be easy to find with a navigation system.
最高の乗馬体験でした。英語での説明ですが非常に分かりやすく教えて頂き、12歳と8歳の子供達でも分かる内容でした。
一緒に回ってくれる方も楽しい人達で最高!
乗馬はかなり長めの1時間で海岸沿いを歩いて回りましたが、最高の景色でハレイワの海の綺麗さも堪能出来ました。
場所も簡単に行く事が出来ました。素朴な看板なので、ここかな?って思うぐらいですが、ハワイらしい感じで良いと思います。ナビがあれば簡単に行けると思います。

I actually wanted to go to Kualoa Ranch, but it was fully booked and I couldn't make a reservation, so I decided to participate in a horseback riding experience in the valley instead. I was able to enjoy garlic shrimp and shopping, and I had a packed schedule with breathtaking views while horseback riding that I normally wouldn't experience. I wish I could have stayed a bit longer because time felt too short. Exploring Haleiwa and horseback riding were more fun than I expected, so next time I want to try horseback riding by the beach. The Dole ice cream is also recommended.
本当はクアロアランチ に行きたかったのですが満席で予約ができなかったので急遽渓谷の乗馬体験に参加することにしました。ガーリックシュリンプやショッピングを満喫することができ、普段は体験できない乗馬での絶景を楽しんだり盛りだくさんで、時間が足らなくもう少し滞在していたかったです。ハレイワ散策と乗馬は想像以上に楽しかったので次回は海辺の乗馬で体験したいです。ドールのアイスもオススメ。

I took the bus number 55 from Ala Moana Shopping Center at 8:30 AM, and it took almost two hours. Since I wasn't sure where to get off, I asked the driver in advance to let me know when we arrived at Gunstock Ranch. I got off after the 56-160 on Kamehameha Highway. It was written on a utility pole at stop 46. Right after getting off the bus, there was a sign for Gunstock, so I didn't get lost.
What was frightening was how cold the bus was. Even with a long-sleeved jacket and a towel as a blanket, it was still chilly... Even though I knew it would be cold and prepared for it, I still needed to be cautious. There seem to be various horseback riding courses available, but since it was a place where no Japanese was spoken at all, I participated as a beginner. Next time, I would like to join a different course.
There were no other customers, just the two of us for a little over an hour, walking through the mountains. It was a unique experience that allowed us to feel the time and air that we can't experience in Japan. The sea breeze felt very nice, and it was enjoyable.
Lima, the new female staff member, was very polite and interacted with us, even though we didn't understand English well. Please feel the vastness of the 800 acres of land.
朝8時半に55番のthe busでアラモアナショッピングセンターから出発、ほぼ2時間かかりました。
降りるバス停が定かではなかったので、ガンストック牧場に行きたいので着いたら教えて欲しいとドライバーさんに先にお願いしておきました。
カメハメハ ハイウェイ56-160の次で降ります

バスを降りると直ぐの所にガンストックの看板もあるので迷いはしないですね。
何が恐ろしかと言うと、なんせバスは寒い

分かっていて、装備をしていてもなので注意が必要です。
乗馬はいろいろなコースがあるみたいですが、全く日本語の通じない所なのでビギナーでの参加でしたが、次回は違うコースで参加したいと思います。

First, I felt scared because the driver guide's driving was reckless. The car itself was old, and the suspension was stiff, making me feel like I might get a stomach ache on the highway.
Next, compared to the price, the experience was poor. The round trip tour to Haleiwa offered no added value, so using The Bus would be a better cost-performance option. In the future, either lower the price or, if including lunch is not possible, at least consider adding a Dole pineapple ice cream or Matsumoto's shave ice. In any case, I definitely won't participate again.
まずドライバーガイドさんの車の運転が乱暴乗ってて恐怖を覚えました。そもそも車も古サスペンションが硬くてハイウェイでは胃下垂になりそうでした。
次は代金に較べて内容がお粗末でハレイワの往復ツアーで付加価値はありませんでしたのでザ・バスを利用して行った方がコスパは良いです。今後は代金を下げるか、ランチ付きが無理なら、せめてドールのパイナップルアイスかマツモトシェイブアイスを付けたらいかがでしょうか。いずれにしとてももう参加しませんが、、。

This time, my 5-year-old son and I participated in a 30-minute children's experience course, while my husband and our 7- and 9-year-old daughters joined a 1-hour horseback riding experience. Everyone unanimously agreed that it was wonderful and fun! My 7-year-old daughter was deeply moved, reflecting that in Japan, at my age, they wouldn't let her ride alone for an hour. The horses were truly smart, and my daughters handled the reins like pros. My husband mentioned that riding for a full hour through the hilly pastures and mountain paths would be a great, great, great satisfaction for beginners and children.
During my 30-minute ride, I was on a big horse, not a pony. My 5-year-old son was initially surprised but was thrilled to ride the same horse as the adults. Since he is only 5, a female staff member accompanied him to lead the horse. We went up and down a small hill as well. Although my daughters and husband couldn't ride, they were able to walk alongside us during the hour-long course. It was so enjoyable that the time flew by. One thing to keep in mind is that while there are supermarkets and convenience stores on the way, it's better to bring drinks with you in advance. The restrooms were relatively clean.
It takes about an hour to drive from Waikiki with a rental car. I also recommend having lunch at Giovanni’s in Kafuku, which is near the ranch, for their garlic shrimp!
今回、30分の子供向け体験コースを5歳の息子と私で、7歳、9歳の娘達と主人が1時間の体験乗馬に参加させて頂きました。全員声をそろえて気持ち良かった~楽しかった〜!!でした。7歳の次女が、日本だったら私の歳で1人で1時間も乗してくれないよねぇとしみじみ感動して噛み締めていました。本当に賢い馬達で、娘たちの手綱さばきもいっちょ前さんに見えました。主人が言うには、上り下りもある牧草地や山道をじっくり1時間かけて乗馬するので初心者や子供達に大、大、大満足な1時間だと思うと言っていました。
私が参加した30分は、ポニーではなく、大きなお馬さんでした。5歳の息子は最初驚きましたが、大人と同じ馬に乗れる事に大喜びしていました。5歳なので、女性の方が1人ついて、馬を引いてくれます。ちょっとした坂道の上り下りもいきます。また、乗馬はできませんが、1時間コースの娘たちや主人も一緒に歩いてついてこれました。楽しくて、あっという間の時間でした。気をつける事は、行くまでにスーパーやコンビニなどありますが、事前に飲み物は持っていった方が良いと思います。トイレも比較的綺麗でした。
ワイキキからレンターカーして1時間位です。牧場の近くのKafuku(カフク)のGiovanni’s(ジョバンニ)でガーリックシュリンプでランチもお勧めですよ

I participated with my two daughters (in their 20s) and another family of two (foreigners), making a total of five people. All the staff at the ranch were women and spoke very little Japanese, but they provided clear guidance in English, which made us feel comfortable and allowed us to enjoy ourselves. We spent about an hour relaxing in the beautiful scenery of the coast and the grasslands. After horseback riding, they also gave us plenty of time to interact with the horses. The horses were beautiful, very friendly, and adorable. The staff talked about each horse's individual characteristics and personalities as if they were their own children, which made me, a huge horse lover, feel incredibly warm inside. I had a wonderful time at this ranch, creating great memories. However, one thing that concerned me was that the entrance to the ranch was somewhat difficult to find. I had read in previous reviews that the entrance gate should always be closed to prevent the horses from getting out, so when I closed it, the staff shouted in English for me not to close it, which surprised me a bit.
娘2人(20代)と私の3人、他に2人の親子連れ(外国人)と計5人での参加でした。
牧場の方は全て女性で日本語はほとんど話せませんでしたが、分かりやすく英語で案内してくれたので安心して楽しむことが出来ました。
海岸と草原の最高の景色の中で約1時間ゆったりとした時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
そして乗馬の後に馬たちとたくさん触れ合う時間を設けてくれました。馬たちはきれいで、そしてとても人馴れしていて可愛かったです。係の人は馬の個々の特徴や性格を我が子の様に話してくれて、馬の大好きな私はものすごく温かい気持ちになりました。この牧場でとても幸せな時間を過ごすことが出来てよい思い出になりました。
ただ、1つ気になったところは、牧場入口が若干分かりにくかったです。
以前体験された方の口コミに入口ゲートは馬が外へ出ないように必ず閉めて。とあったので閉めていたら、牧場の方に閉めないで! と英語で叫ばれて少し驚いてしまいました。

I participated in mid-December. Since the pickup was expensive, I went by myself on bus number 55 from Ala Moana Center. I enjoyed a 2-hour walk with the horses and nature. It was my first time riding, but if you focus on your core, you won't get a sore backside. At the end, I thought it might be a bit long, but I'm glad it was 2 hours. It became the best memory!

If you're interested in movies like Jurassic Park, you'll find this experience fascinating. I made a reservation without transportation, but it's easy to get there by taking THEBUS number 55 from Ala Moana. It's only five dollars for a round trip.
On the day of the ride, we watched a Japanese video on how to ride before starting. It began immediately. There was another group of English speakers with us, and it seemed like the guide focused mainly on them, so we didn't understand much. That was quite disappointing. The guide only asked us simple questions like if we were okay or having fun. I wished they would guide us properly since I can understand English if spoken slowly. I took my mother, who loves Jurassic Park, and she was disappointed.
There is quite a bit of horse manure, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Leaves and droppings can stick to you.
The scenery was beautiful, and while two hours felt long, one hour might not be enough. For those without much stamina, two hours can be quite tough. I usually work out at the gym, so I didn't experience muscle soreness, but my mother, in her late 50s, was struggling partway through.
If you have weak legs, hips, or back, it's better to skip this or opt for the one-hour option. The sun can be intense, so an early morning ride might be best. You'll need to catch the 6 AM bus, which means an early wake-up, but it ends early too, so you won't waste time.
Each horse has its own personality; some just want to eat grass and won't follow at all, which adds to the fun. There were some dangerous moments along the way, so I think it's wise to get separate travel insurance. (Whether the horse got spooked or the reins were pulled too hard.)
ジュラシックパークなど映画に興味がある方はおもしろいと思います。
送迎なしで予約しましたが、アラモアナからTHEBUSの55番に乗ればいいので簡単ですよ。
往復でも5ドルです。

ジュラシックパーク好きな母のために行ったので残念がっていました。
結構馬の排泄物が多いので捨てて帰っていいような服をオススメします。
葉っぱはつくし、糞などもつきます^^;
景色はとてもよく、2時間は長かったのですが1時間では物足りないかもしれません。
体力がない方は2時間はかなり厳しいです。
私は普段ジムで鍛えているので筋肉痛になりませんでしたが、50代後半の母は途中ヘロヘロになっていました。
足と腰、おしりの弱い方はやめたほうがいいです。
もしくは1時間にすることをオススメします。
日差しもキツいので、朝一番がいいかな。
6時のバスに乗らなければいけないのでかなり早起きになりますが終わるのも早いので、時間を無駄にせずいいと思います。
馬にはそれぞれ性格があって、草ばかり食べたり全然ついてこなかったりしますが、そこも楽しみです。
途中、危ない場面もあったので、別途海外旅行保険に入った方がいいと思いました。(馬が暴れたのか、綱を引っ張りすぎたか)

After about 1 hour and 45 minutes on the bus from Ala Moana, I finally arrived at a peaceful ranch for a horseback riding experience. The experience started at 11:00, and check-in was at 10:30. Since it was mentioned that it was a bit of a walk from the bus stop, I took an earlier bus and arrived by 9:15.
I was surprised to arrive so early, but I was able to relax and take a nap on a bench at the ranch until 10:30. Perhaps because it was a weekday, we were the only ones there, making it a private horseback riding stroll. Since Japanese was not spoken, I did my best to communicate in English. It was okay not to wear a helmet, and I received a brief explanation before getting on the horse right away!
It was very smooth and hassle-free, which was great, but it might not be suitable for those who want a thorough safety briefing in Japanese or for first-timers.
After about 50 minutes of exploring the ranch, I was able to take photos in a spot with a great view. I was really glad it didn't rain. It was a wonderful horseback riding experience that refreshed my spirit!
アラモアナからザバスに乗って1時間45分くらい、やっとついたのどかな牧場で乗馬体験してきました。
11:00からの体験で10:30チェックイン、バス停から少し歩くとなっていたので、早めのバスに乗って行き、9:15にはついてしまいました。
早くつきすぎてビックリされてしまいましたが、10:30まで牧場のベンチでゆっくりお昼寝しできました。
平日だったからか、私たちしかいなく、プライベートな乗馬散歩になりました(^^)
日本語は通じないので、英語で頑張ってコミュニケーションとりました。ヘルメットしないでもokとのことで、本当に短時間でサラッと説明を受けてすぐ乗馬!
とてもスムーズで面倒くさくなくて良かったのですが、日本語でしっかり安全講習受けたい人や初めての人には向かないかもしれません。

I used the canyon horseback riding plan. I bought souvenirs at Dole Plantation, saw sea turtles, enjoyed delicious garlic shrimp, purchased the coffee beans I wanted, and fulfilled my mother's long-held dream of horseback riding (she's in her 60s and this was her first time). We were also blessed with great weather. The driver (and guide?) shared interesting stories, and both of them (there were two who switched halfway) answered our questions thoroughly and even engaged with my mother's long stories (laughs). Mark, the ranch owner, listened attentively to my mother, who struggles with English, and responded with a kind smile. We truly had the best time. Both my mother and I are extremely satisfied!! I will definitely recommend this to friends going to Oahu. Thank you very much.

This is a review by an advanced rider, 1 intermediate and 2 beginners. First the drive from the west of the island takes about an hour to an hour and a half, but it's just beautiful. Our tour was in December and scheduled for 9am as a 1 hour walking tour. We arrived a bit early due to traffic being light. When we arrived, the staff greeted us and explained that they will need to grab the horses and tack up so we could wait by the picnic tables and the bathrooms were behind us. We had no problem waiting and a sweet dog named Sadie came to play fetch with us. It started to rain a bit once the horses were ready, we hadn't brought jackets but it wasn't very cold and it ended fairly quick. The guide asked our experience and explained how to ride to all of us and then began matching horses to people. I think she did an absolutely fabulous job. The tour started and each pair went along nicely and the guide was very informative about the ranch, landscape, and area. She was very friendly. The terrain and landscapes were just beautiful. Green everywhere, big green mountains with billowing clouds draping down them. Each rider enjoyed it, the horses kept the beginners so safe, and mine listened to my light cues well. The guide told us the trails run all over the ranch, so they don't always go on the same trails, this is what makes it great to me. You don't feel like you're on just another head to tail pony ride. It felt personal, it was beautiful, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. All in all, 10 out of 10! I recommend anyone looking for a horseback riding ride in oahu to here, get the morning tour, and relax in north shore afterwards. (great food is at any food truck)

I had my first horseback riding experience this time, and it was truly a fun and fulfilling time. At first, I was worried about whether I could give commands to the horse properly, but the horse I rode was very smart and took good care of me.
Indeed, it was a bit challenging to keep the line while they started eating grass everywhere, but the location was great, and I was able to spend a wonderful time.
There is a shuttle service available, but since the time commitment was long, we made our own way there. However, the bus we took was easy to navigate, so personally, I think going without the shuttle is recommended. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

最初はうまく馬に指令ができるのか心配でしたが、私が乗った馬はとってもスマートで、上手に私を乗せてくれました。
確かに、いたるところで草を食べだして一列を守って歩くのは少し大変でしたがロケーションもよく素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。
送迎もありますが、拘束時間が長いので自分達は自力で向かいましたが乗るバスも簡単だったので、送迎なしのほうがおすすめかなと個人的には思いました。
素敵な体験をありがとうございました。

I went on this activity with a friend and we took the 55 bus from Waikiki to North Shore. It was a long ride (about 2.5 hours) but the bus literally runs along the shoreline so it the scenery was very nice. You can tell the bus operator that you want to get off at Gunstock Ranch and they'll holler to let you know when they've reached the appropriate stop. A note for those who are not taking a car to the ranch: It's a bit of a walk from the road! It probably took about 5-7 minutes for us to arrive at the ranch.
Because the bus was a bit late, my friend and I were late to our 10:30AM check-in time. We called ahead to let them know and they were very accommodating. The activity was scheduled for 11AM and they told us to just let them know if we were going to arrive later than 11 since our ride might have to be shortened in that case. Luckily we arrived right at 11. It took just a couple minutes to get us checked in and after a short introduction on how to make the horse go and stop, etc, we were on the horse and ready to go.
Our guide was Hannah and she was very nice and attentive. She made some conversation along the way and was quick to help us out if the horse wasn't cooperating. The rest of our group took a horseback ride along the shoreline but my friend and I chose Gunstock Ranch because my friend is allergic to UV rays. The backwood trail of Gunstock Ranch was perfect for her. It was very quiet and tranquil and you could still see the ocean from afar. For our purposes this ride was absolutely perfect.
My only gripe is that two days later, my bum still hurts! Haha.
Aloha! Thank you for your review! We are so happy that you both had a great time. Hopefully we will see you on your next trip here!

My daughter and I had an amazing ride! Jessica, our guide was so sweet and we had a great time with her. The horses are all so beautiful and well behaved. Our dream to ride along the oceans edge came true! I highly recommend this horseback riding company and we will definitely be back!! ❤❤

My first horseback riding experience, and for two hours overseas! I was a bit anxious about it. Before riding, we watched a Japanese video about horseback riding precautions. We stored our bags in a coin locker. There was a pocket on the saddle for small items like smartphones, so I was able to put mine there. It seems that bags worn around the neck are not allowed for safety reasons. While touring the movie filming locations, I felt like watching the video again. At first, I thought two hours might be long, but by the end, it didn't feel that way. I was initially nervous riding, but by the end, I wanted to spend a little more time with the horse. The guide was explaining various things in English, but I couldn't understand much. Still, just riding around the vast grounds was very soothing. By the way, my backside started to hurt (laughs). This pain is also a good memory of the trip.
初めての乗馬、それも海外で2時間も!大丈夫だろうかと内心不安でした。
乗馬前に乗馬に関する注意の日本語のビデオをみます。
荷物はコインロッカーに預けます。スマホ程度は鞍のところにポケットがあるので
そこに入れることができました。
首からかけるバックなどは危ないのでダメのようです。
映画ロケ地をめぐっていると、もう一度ビデオ見ようという気になります。
2時間は長いかなと最初思っていましたが終わってみればそうでもなく、
最初は恐々乗っていましがら、最後ももうちょっとこのお馬さんと一緒にいたいなって
思いました。
ガイドさんが英語でいろいろお話(説明)してくれているのですが
英語のわからない私はチンプンカンプン。それでも、広大な敷地を馬にのってまわっているだけで癒されました。
ちなみにお尻が痛くなります(笑)この痛みも旅の良い思い出です。

I had been to North Shore and Haleiwa before, but this time I spent my time without renting a car, so I joined this tour. I had heard about Happy Trails from a friend beforehand, so I chose the canyon course.
I was able to thoroughly enjoy riding on the mountain paths with ups and downs, and above all, I was impressed by the intelligence of the horses! I learned various guiding techniques before riding, and although I was initially nervous about the leading part, I gradually relaxed and was able to enjoy the scenery. The weather was great, and the view of the ocean from the hill was amazing!!
I also had plenty of time to enjoy myself in Dole and Haleiwa!
ノースショア、ハレイワなどには行ったことがありましたが、
今回はレンタカーを借りずに過ごしたのでこちらのツアーに参加し、
友人から事前にハッピートレイルさんの話をきいていたので、
渓谷コースを選びました。
登り下りの有る山道をしっかりと乗馬しながら満喫することができたし、
何よりも馬たちの賢さに感動!
乗馬前に色々ガイドの仕方を習いましたが、
その一歩先行く先導っぷりに、最初は緊張していましたが、
徐々にリラックスして景色も楽しめるようになりました。
お天気がよかったし、丘からの海の景色は最高でした!!
ドール、ハレイワでの自由時間もゆとりがあって充分満喫できました!

I signed up at the invitation of my wife. At first, I thought, "Horseback riding in Hawaii?" but exploring the undulating course on horseback turned out to be an unexpectedly enjoyable experience. It lasted about 40-50 minutes and went by in a flash. The horses, originally trained for polo, were very well-behaved, and even small children seemed to be having a great time riding them. I can guarantee it will be a fun experience.
妻に誘われて申し込みました.最初は,ハワイで乗馬?と思っていましたが,起伏に富んだコースを馬に乗ってめぐるのは予想外の楽しい体験でした.40-50分?あっという間でした.もともとがポロ競技の馬とのことで,とてもよくしつけられており,小さいお子さんんも楽しそうに乗っていました.楽しい経験になること請け合いです.

It was a bit delayed until we got on the first horse, overlapping with other reservation groups, but the explanations in Japanese were helpful, so there were no issues. Once we started riding, the scenery that you can't experience in Japan was amazing. My horse was a bit stubborn, but that too became a good memory.
最初の馬に乗るまでが、他の予約グループとかぶりやや遅れましたが
日本語の説明もあり、問題なかったです。
乗馬スタートしてから、日本では味わえない景色等で最高でした
自分の馬がややわがままな子でしたが、それも良い思い出です。

Originally, it was supposed to be an experience with my daughter, but she fell ill on the day, so I participated alone. The driver and guide were experienced, making the ride enjoyable. First, I visited the Dole Plantation for the first time in ten years. After about 30 minutes of sightseeing, we went to the beach where we hoped to see honu (turtles). Unfortunately, they weren't on the shore, but they were nearby, coming up for air. Then, we headed to Haleiwa. I had originally planned to have garlic shrimp for lunch, but since I was alone, I switched to an acai bowl, which was delicious. Finally, we went for the horseback riding experience. With the experienced guide leading us, we walked slowly in a line, two meters apart. The ocean was beautiful, and I had a fulfilling time. On the day, there were four participants, and since the roads were clear, we had some free time in Haleiwa on the way back. Then, we headed to Honolulu. It was a very fulfilling tour.
本来なら娘と2人での体験でしたが、当日体調不良になり、私1人での参加になりました。運転兼ガイドさんの説明も慣れており、楽しい車中になりました。まず、ドールプランテーションに10年ぶりに行きました。30分ほど見学し、その後、ホヌ(亀)が居るかもしれない海岸に残念ながら浜辺にはいませんでしたが、すぐ近くにいて、息継ぎに顔をあげます。そして、ハイレアへ。本来ならガーリックシュリンプの昼食を考えていましたが、1人参加になってしまったので、アサイーボウルに変更。美味しかったです。そして、いよいよ乗馬体験へ。慣れたガイドさんを先頭に2メートル間隔でゆっくり歩きます。海が綺麗で充実した時間を過ごすことができました。当日、体験者が4人と道路が空いていたので帰路にも、ハイレアで自由時間がありました。そして、ホノルルへ。とっても充実したツアーでした。
