Wanted to ride on a beach and we were not disappointed. Angela was our guide and very enjoyable. My horse was a retired rodeo horse and my husband's was a retired polo horse.
The views were amazing. We rode along the ocean into a field and then back to the beach. Angela took our photos in the beach and spending that time with her and the horses was a dream come true.
I highly recommend taking Notth Shore Beach horseback riding tour. It is not safe for the horses to run in the sand sonif you want speed, it is not for you. But you will be sorry if a fast run on the beach deters you.

I chose the 2-hour horseback riding course, which takes you to movie filming locations! I was really moved by the vast land! I'm so glad I participated because I got to experience nature that you can't find in Japan. The horses were gentle and very cute. However, I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't choose other activities with the 2-hour horseback riding course. But I wonder if the 1-hour ride doesn't go to the movie locations? Walking through that vast land on horseback was a precious experience. I'm glad I chose the 2-hour option!! I plan to participate again next year! ♫
乗馬2時間コースを選択
映画のロケ地を巡るコース!
広大な大地にとても感動しました!
日本では絶対に味わえない大自然に触れることができて本当に参加して良かったです。
お馬さんも優しくてとっても可愛いです。
ただ、乗馬2時間コースだと他のアクティビティを選択できなかったのでそれが少し残念でした。
ですが1時間の乗馬だと映画のロケ地までは行かないのかな?と思います。
あの広大な大地を乗馬で歩けたのは貴重な体験です。2時間選んで良かったです!!

I chose this tour because it offers a newly revamped experience in Haleiwa with beach horseback riding. Our guide, Hiro, was very efficient, and we had the opportunity to shop in Haleiwa. The recommended garlic shrimp was incredibly delicious. During the horseback riding, there was an initial explanation in English, but Hiro was there to translate, which made me feel at ease. The seaside views were stunning, and I was thrilled to see turtles. On the way back, we avoided traffic while passing through Chinatown with a guided tour, making it a very fulfilling and packed experience.
新しくなったハレイワの散策と海辺の乗馬ができることからこちらのツアーを選びました。ガイドのヒロさんがとても効率良くまわって下さり、ハレイワではお買い物もでき何よりオススメのガーリックシュリンプがとても美味しかったです。また乗馬では最初に英語で説明されるのですが、ヒロさんが側について訳してくれ安心して乗れました。海辺の景色は素晴らしくカメも見れて大満足です。帰りは渋滞を回避しながらチャイナタウンをガイドしながら通ったりと盛りだくさんながらとても充実したツアーでした。

I had a great time! If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to relax a bit more in Haleiwa. My stay in Haleiwa was only about an hour as I was heading to go horseback riding. The garlic shrimp place I was aiming for opened about 15 minutes late, so I had to hurry and scarf down the garlic shrimp. It was delicious, but I wanted to savor it more and check out other shops as well.
とても楽しかったです!欲を言えばハレイワでもう少しのんびりしたかったなぁ。乗馬に向かうためハレイワ滞在は一時間位でした。お目当てのガーリックシュリンプ屋さんの開店が15分ほど遅れて急いでガーリックシュリンプをかきこむことに。美味しかったけどもっと味わいたかったし、他のお店も見たかったです。

I tried to go to Kualoa Ranch, but I couldn't make a reservation. So, I participated in this instead. Since there was no shuttle service, I was unsure how to get there, but I took a bus to the North Shore and enjoyed it thoroughly. Calling an Uber for a taxi was quick. Riding horses while gazing at the quiet sea without any tourists was elegant! Afterward, I was even allowed to feed the horses bananas.

My wife and I did this ride with our 2 kids ages 10 and 12. The ride was super easy with incredible views. The horses are super calm and barely move when getting on and off them. They are very well trained which makes the ride very pleasant and enjoyable. At times I felt like the horse just knew what to do with little instructions from me. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed the scenery of the mountains and the seemingly endless amount of open land which surrounded us as we walked through the trail. The trail included walking up and down beautiful hills, under and around shady trees, all at a pace which was relaxing yet exciting. I can't say enough about this establishment and would recommend any family to visit this ranch.

My husband and I and our 2 kids age 10 and 12 set out from k'Olina area to the ranch. I have to say the drive was amazing. Great views, beach pull off spots, food trucks and we also stopped off at a coffee farm on the way. Once at Gunstock Ranch the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The horses were incredibly trained and easy to ride. The horses were very very very calm and I would trust my 91 year old grandmother could ride them and be just fine. The place was very clean and the horses very well kept after. Hardly any bugs at all, although we did put bug spray on us before hand just incase. I saw beautiful butterflies during the ride on beautiful lush natural trees and bushes. Seriously the views looked like movie sets and later we learned filming was done there in the past. The ride was easy, smooth and very very enjoyable. The scenery was incredible. We rode so close to cows big ones and baby ones. They were very calm and I was happy to know the cattle ranch does not brand their cattle but tag them with numbers. The people at this ranch really do take care of the horses. It's extremely apparent the amazing caring hands these horses are in. You do not need any prior experience at all to do this excursion and I highly highly recommend them over any other ranch in the area. We have done family trail rides before but this one was the best! When we return to Oahu we will be back.

The only available course was in the morning, so I made an effort to wake up early and drove from Waikiki. It was pouring rain around Kualoa Ranch in the morning, and I was worried it might get canceled, but the locals didn't seem to mind at all and proceeded with the check-in process. After confirming how to ride the horses with the Japanese instructions, I quickly got on the horse.
The warm body temperature was comforting, and I was first impressed by the completely different sensation compared to riding something inanimate. The tour was filled with a sense of adventure as we went down paths that were more rugged than I expected. The instructor who accompanied us didn’t just walk ahead; she moved around behind us, actively engaging with everyone in the group.
I made the right choice by signing up for the two-hour course! The view from the high ground of Kualoa Ranch was amazing, the air in the lush forest was refreshing, and everything felt wonderful. If I get the chance to come back to Hawaii, I will definitely repeat this experience.
朝一のコースしか空いておらず、頑張って早起きしてワイキキから車で向かいました。朝クアロアランチ周辺は大雨で、中止になるんじゃないかとヒヤヒヤしましたが、現地の人たちは全く気にせずチェックイン手続きをしてくれました。日本語版の説明で馬の乗り方を確認した後、すぐに馬の背中へ。
温かい体温が心地よくて、無機物に乗る感覚とは全く違う感覚にまず感動。ツアーは思った以上に道なき道を進むアドベンチャー感満載でした。一人付いてくれたインストラクターのおねえさんも、ずっと前を歩くのではなく、後ろに回ったり足繁く動きながらグループ全員に声をかけてくれました。
二時間コースに申し込んで大正解!クアロアランチの高台から眺める最高の景色、しっとりとした森の中の空気、全てが気持ちよかったです。またハワイに来れたら、リピートします。

We were in Hawaii for our honeymoon and wanted to do something adventurous so we decided to go to Gunstock Ranch for some horseback riding. The booking was really easy and I received a call an hour later with confirmation of my purchase. Shortly after I received an email with the confirmation details and directions to the ranch. The process went really smooth. The route out to the ranch along highway 83 was absolutely spectacular! It goes right along the ocean coast with gorgeous views and the splashing water literally hits your car as you drive by because your so close. The ranch was very nice, easy to get to with a super friendly staff. There are restrooms which were very clean for being outdoors along with sinks to wash your hands afterwards. Plenty of parking.
They take safety precautions when mounting and unmounting the horses. They recommend that you wear a helmet also but you can sign a waiver if you choose not to. The horses are really friendly and very well trained. The trails are absolutely beautiful as you leave the ranch, enter into the mountain side, through forests, up and down hills, and a view of the ocean off in the distance. You get to see the cattle, and the baby calves as you ride. Leanna was our guide and she was very knowledgeable about the ranch, the area, and the horses. I could see her love for them and she was very friendly and made sure everyone in our group was doing good and having a great time. She recommended many things to do on the island and was very helpful answering any questions we had along the way. We had a great time and recommend Gunstock Ranch to anyone who is looking for a great horseback riding experience!

I was a bit anxious about my first horseback riding experience, but I was able to watch a Japanese DVD, which made me feel at ease and enjoy it. The vast grounds were very pleasant. However, since we were outside for an hour and the horses move slowly, the same spots were exposed to UV rays for a long time. Sun protection is essential. I ended up getting a bad sunburn on my shoulders. Ladies, please be careful.

I was torn between another seaside horseback riding experience with VELTRA. The deciding factor was the duration. I thought it would feel long at two hours, but it went by in no time.
At times, they cheered us on with familiar English phrases like "enjoy!?" so I didn't understand most of the guide's explanations, but that made me feel the essence of Hawaii, so I was satisfied!
It was my first time horseback riding, but the well-behaved horses took care of me, and whenever one got a bit mischievous and I had trouble handling it, the staff quickly came over to show me how to handle the reins, so I was totally fine.
I rented a car and first stopped to eat the famous malasadas at Leonard's. From there, I set the Polo Club in the car navigation, but it didn't work well. In the end, I relied on Google Maps. I'm glad I rented a Wi-Fi device.
At first, I reacted too quickly to the word "POLO" and ended up going in the wrong direction. I didn't read "NEXT GATE."
I regrouped and headed to the NEXT GATE, looking for the red building based on the photos from the experience. It turned out to be peppermint green!
However, I arrived too early—two hours ahead of time…
I parked the car, but there was nowhere nearby to kill time. The beach was close, but it was too hot to stay there!
I took refuge in a nearby shopping center. It's a good idea to search for places where you can park and use the restroom in advance.

The main event of our trip to Hawaii is always interesting, as the route changes every time we come. This time, even though I just went horseback riding on the 27th, it was completely engaging, with new emotions and discoveries each time. I have had different horseback riding experiences in Japan and Hawaii, but so far, the freedom of riding without a lead rope here is the best. I still find it exciting, and when we plan our next trip to Hawaii, I will definitely include this activity in our schedule. It has brought so much joy to our family.

Every time I come to Hawaii, I make sure to experience horseback riding. My grandchildren never get tired of it, no matter how many times we go. This time, we did encounter a little rain along the way, but I thought it was part of the experience. As we rode through the trees, we eventually reached a breathtaking spot where we could overlook Haleiwa Bay. While I had been feeling nervous about riding until then, my heart opened up completely. In our family, we have decided that Hawaii equals horseback riding, and we plan our schedule around it.

The car was clean, and the guide provided a lot of information along the way. On the way back, we also toured downtown. We were able to see sea turtles, and the garlic shrimp from the restaurant they recommended was peeled and easy to eat. It was a pity that we had a short time to explore the town of Haleiwa, and I couldn't have Matsumoto Shave Ice. We enjoyed riding the horse for over 40 minutes. The local guide mentioned that the minimum age is 7 years and the height requirement is 4 feet 4 inches, so I was worried about the height, but even smaller children around 120 centimeters were properly adjusted and able to ride.
車もキレイで、ガイドさんが道中たくさんガイドしてくれて、帰り道はダウンタウンも回ってくれました。
ウミガメも見れたし、紹介してもらったお店のガーリックシュリンプは殻をむいてあり食べやすかったです。ハレイワの街の散策時間が短く、マツモトシェーブアイスが食べられなかったのが残念でした。馬はたっぷり40分以上乗れて堪能しました。現地の案内では7歳以上、4フィート4インチ以上書かれていたので身長が足りないと心配しましたが、120センチ程度の小さめな子でもちゃんと調整して乗せてもらっていました。

At North Shore, most of the riders were Westerners, and there were few Japanese people. I couldn't forget the horseback riding at Turtle Bay, so this time I decided to try the Hawaii Polo Club. This club trains retired polo horses for riding. The horse I rode was gentle and easy to ride. We set off with a group of six: four Western families, one solo Western rider, and me! It was a bit windy, but walking near the ocean was very pleasant. I was a little disappointed that we couldn't canter. It's about a 15 to 20-minute taxi ride from the town of Haleiwa towards Mokuleia Beach. Since there is no shuttle service, it's convenient to go by rental car. I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii.
ノースショアは、乗馬してる人は欧米人ばかりで、日本人は少ないです。タートルベイでの乗馬が忘れられず、今回はHawaii Polo Clubに行ってみました。ここはPolo競技を引退した馬を乗馬用に調教して乗せてくれるクラブでした。私が乗った馬も穏やかで安心して乗れる馬でした。欧米人の家族連れ4人とお一人様欧米人と私の6名で出発!少し風が強かったですが、すぐ側に海が迫っている場所を歩くのは、とても気持ち良かったです。駈歩はさせてくれないのが少し残念でした。ハレイワの町からタクシーでモクレイアビーチ方面に向かって15分〜20分位の場所です。送迎無しなのでレンタカーで行くの

My wife has experience riding horses at Kualoa Ranch and was determined to go horseback riding when we visited Hawaii. My two grandchildren, aged 7 and 10, were experiencing horseback riding for the first time. Since Kualoa Ranch only allows participants aged 10 and older, we were able to join this tour.
At first, we received instructions on how to handle the horses, but I was worried and anxious about whether the horses would listen to us.
The instructor rode at the front, holding the reins of my 7-year-old grandchild's horse, while each of us handled our own reins for the other horses. Next in line were the horses ridden by my 10-year-old grandchild, my wife, and myself, followed by the horses of four other participants in the tour, and finally the instructor's horse, making a total of ten horses. We rode through the valley for about 75 minutes.
The horses were smart; they stopped when the horse in front stopped and moved forward when it did. We hardly needed to use the reins to guide our horses, allowing us to enjoy a comfortable riding experience with views of the valley and the North Shore ocean occasionally visible.
I want to express my gratitude to my wife, the organizers of this tour, and the staff at the ranch for providing my grandchildren and me with such a memorable experience.
私の家内はクアロラ牧場での乗馬経験が有り、ハワイに行くなら絶対乗馬はしたいとのことでした。私と7歳と10歳の孫は初めての乗馬体験です。クアロラ牧場は、10歳以上しか参加できないので今回のツアーに参加させていただきました。
最初は、馬の取扱いについて説明してもっらったのですが、馬がきいてくれるのか心配で不安でした。
インストラクターの方が馬に乗って先頭で、7歳の孫の乗った馬の手綱を持って、後の馬は各自で手綱をひきます(持つ)。次に10歳の孫の乗った馬、家内の乗った馬、私の乗った馬、後同じツアーに参加された4名の方の馬、最後インストラクターの方の乗った馬の10頭の編成で渓谷を75分ぐらい乗馬出来ました。
馬は賢く前の馬が止まれば止まり、進めば同じように進みます。ほとんど手綱を使って自分の馬に指示することなく、渓谷と時折見えるノースショアの海の眺望など、快適な乗馬体験が出来ました。
私も、孫二人も今までにない思い出に残る経験ができたことに、家内と今回のツアーの主催者、牧場の方々に感謝したいと思います。

I wanted to experience horseback riding in a breathtaking setting, so I visited Kualoa just for that. It seems that the routes for the one-hour course and the two-hour course are completely different. I participated in the one-hour course, but I can't help but wonder if the two-hour course offers even more stunning views. I felt that the one-hour course was a bit lacking. Since we just walked slowly behind the horse in front of us, I ended up feeling sleepy along the way. (Though it was pleasant in its own way...) If I have the chance next time, I definitely want to challenge myself with the two-hour course.
絶景の中で乗馬体験をしたいと思い、乗馬の為だけにクアロアを訪れました。
1時間コースと2時間コースでは、ルートが全く違うようです。
1時間コースに参加しましたが、2時間コースの方が絶景なのでは無いかと思いとても気になります。
1時間コースは、少し物足りなかった様な気がします。
ゆっくりと前の馬について歩くだけなので、途中で眠くなってしまいました。
(それはそれで気持ちよいのですが・・・)
次回があれば、是非2時間にチャレンジしてみたいと思います。

It was our first time riding and Collette was amazing. She was very helpful and made us comfortable. She was nice enough to take lots of pictures of us on the beach. The horses were gentle and it was a great experience.
