Never rode horses before and staff handled us perfectly. Probably not as fun for experienced riders. Fun ride on the beach. Horses are active polo ponies and are magnificent animals.

We are a senior couple in our 50s. We came to Hawaii for our silver wedding anniversary trip. My wife wanted to try horseback riding, so we decided to give it a shot. Of course, this was our first time riding horses, and we don't speak English. I was worried about what would happen if everyone else could ride and we couldn't. What if they suddenly told us to "get on!"? I was anxious because I wouldn't understand the instructions in English...
However, all those worries were completely unnecessary. There were staff members who could speak broken Japanese, and those who couldn't spoke in clear English and explained everything diligently. First, we watched a five-minute Japanese video that included important safety information, which helped us understand the basics. After that, our guide helped us mount the horses and taught us how to move forward, stop, and turn. Knowing just a few English words like "start," "stop," "right," and "left" was enough (laughs). Then we set off. Since we were the only two on the two-hour course, it was just the three of us: the two of us and a very cute and kind female guide in her twenties.
As for the horses, they were very obedient and well-trained. They followed our novice handling without any fuss, and by the end, I had grown quite attached to my horse (laughs). We had signed up for the two-hour horseback riding course, and it was the right choice. The ranch is vast, and the scenery is breathtaking! I knew it was a filming location for Jurassic Park, but I didn't have high expectations. However, I was amazed! It truly felt like the world of Jurassic Park. No matter how far we went, we were surrounded by that scenery: expansive grasslands, hills, majestic mountains, and the stunning emerald green sea, with dinosaur footprints scattered here and there (laughs). We rode through it all, feeling like seasoned riders (?). It was truly a blissful moment.
There were also guava trees along the way, and our guide picked some fruit for us to try. The guava was incredibly juicy and delicious. We were blessed with great weather, making it a perfect experience. The two hours flew by in no time.
I absolutely recommend this! There seems to be a one-hour horseback riding course as well. I'm not sure what route it takes, but it starts from the guesthouse and walks through the forest for about 20 minutes before reaching an open area with a view of Jurassic Park. So, in conclusion...
50代のシニア夫婦です。銀婚旅行でハワイに来ました。
妻が一度馬に乗ってみたいというのでチャレンジしてみました。
もちろん二人とも乗馬など生まれて初めて。さらに英語も話せません。もし、自分たち以外は皆乗馬ができる人達だったらどうしよう?いきなり「乗れ!」と言われたらどうしよう?説明が英語では理解もできないし・・・など不安がいっぱいでした。
けれども、それらは全く無用の心配でした。カタコトの日本語が話せるスタッフがいるし、日本語が話せないスタッフも分かりやすい英語で一生懸命説明してくれます。
最初に注意事項を盛り込んだ5分程度の日本語ビデオを観せられます。それで必要最低限の事項が理解できます。その後、担当のガイドさんに馬にまたがらせてもらい、進み方、止まり方、曲がり方を教えてもらいます。英語はスタート、ストップ、ライト、レフトくらい分かれば大丈夫(笑)そして出発です。2時間コースは私達だけだったので、我々2人と、とてもかわいらしくてやさしい20代の女性ガイドと3人で出発しました。肝心の馬ですが、とても従順でよく訓練されてます。素人の操縦(?)にも素直におとなしく従ってくれ、最後の方はすっかり情が移ってしまいました。(笑)
私たちは乗馬2時間コースを申し込んだのですが、正解でした。なんといっても牧場は広い!それも絶景のコースです。ジュラシックパークのロケ地ということは知ってたのですが、どれほどのものかあまり期待はしてなかったのです。けれどもびっくり!まさにジュラシックパークの世界でした。行けども行けどもあの世界。とても広い草原や丘、神々しいまでの山々、目の覚めるようなエメラルドグリーンの海、ところどころにある恐竜の足跡(笑)。そこをいかにも手慣れたように馬を操り(?)進んでいく。本当に至福の一時でした。ところどころにヴァバの木が生えてて、ガイドさんが実を取ってくれて食べさせてくれました。初めて食べたヴァバの実はとてもジューシーでとてもおいしかったです。天気にも恵まれ、まさに至福の一時でした。2時間はあっという間に過ぎました。
これは絶対にお勧めです!乗馬は1時間コースもあるようです。1時間コースはどういうルートを取るのか分かりませんが、ゲストハウスを出発してから、森の中を20分くらい歩いて、ジュラシックパーク景観の開けた場所に出ます。ということで、本

My first horseback riding experience was very enjoyable. Additionally, I was satisfied to fully appreciate the nature of Kualoa, which is also a power spot.
At first, I was scared, but I got used to it in about 10 minutes. It seems that each horse has its own personality; some are serious while others just eat grass.
By the way, I think it's better to wear a hat. It can be quite tough if the sun is blazing. For those who want to take photos, it's safer to use a strap around your neck since you'll be operating with one hand. It's difficult and dangerous to control the horse with one hand, so take photos sparingly.
Riding slowly through the great outdoors was a lot of fun.
初めての乗馬はとても良い経験になりました。
加えてパワースポットでもあるクアロアの自然を
思い切り味わえて満足できました。
最初は怖かったけど10分もすれば慣れてきます。
馬にも個性があるらしく、真面目な子もいれば
草ばっかり食べている子もいます。
ちなみに帽子は被ったほうが良いと思います。
太陽がカンカンだと結構きついかも。
写真を撮りたい方は、片手操作になるので
首からストラップを掛けた方が無難です。
片手で馬を操るのは難しく危ないので、

It wasn't like running through a grassland; it felt more like going through a Western-style wilderness.
It was refreshing to add this to the activities that were mostly by the sea. The horses were calm and cute. They followed the horse in front of them in a line, so it was easy even if you didn't have to control them. It might be a bit unsatisfying for those who want to run fast.
There is no shuttle service, so you have to get there on your own. The landmarks are not very big, so it's necessary to inform the bus driver that you want to get off. Also, for the return trip, it's wise to check the bus schedule since there is only one bus per hour and wait at the ranch.
草原を走るようなイメージではなく、ウエスタンのような荒野を行く感じでした。
海ばかりのアクティビティにプラスするには、新鮮でよかったです。馬もおとなしくてかわいかったです。自分で操作しなくても一列になって前の馬について行ってくれるので、楽でした。早く走りたいかたには物足りないかもしれません。
送迎なしなので、現地まで自分たちで行かなければなりません。目印がそこまで大きくないので、バスの運転手さんに降りる旨を伝えておく必要があります。また、帰りは一時間に一本のバスに乗るため時間を調べておいて、牧場で待つほうが賢明です。

We participated in a 1.5-hour tour with three family members. First, the location of the ranch was hard to find (it turned out that if you drive from Honolulu, you can only see the entrance sign from the opposite direction), and I think we were able to navigate the narrow mountain road during the daytime. We showed our voucher at a small hut marked "office" to check in. After receiving instructions on how to ride the horse (which can mostly be understood through gestures), we were off.
Since it all depends on the horse's mood, if you fall behind the line, you might be urged to hurry along. Sometimes, the horses can suddenly start running as if they are being charged. This adds a thrill, but it can also be a bit scary. Overall, it was a fun experience, but the bumpy paths with ups and downs might feel a bit hard for beginners.
家族3人で1.5時間のツアーに参加しました。
まず、牧場の位置がわかりづらく(ホノルルから車で行くと入り口の看板が逆方向からしかわからないと判明しました)且つ山道のような一本道を信じて進んでいくのは昼間なのでできたかと思います。
officeと書かれた小屋で受付のバウチャーを見せて完了。馬の乗り方の説明を受けて(ほとんどゼスチャーでわかります。)いざ出発です。
何せ馬のご機嫌次第ですので列から離れて遅れると急げとばかりに走らされます。馬的にはチャージさせられていきなり走ることもあります。ここでスリルがありますが怖いといえば怖いかもです。
全体には楽しく過ごせますが、でこぼこ道が大半でアップダウンですので初心者には少しハードかなと感じました。

I experienced horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch twice before, but this time I wanted to see a different view, so I tried the sunset horseback riding at this ranch. It was a small, privately-owned place, which made it easy to talk to the staff. The female guide spoke only English, but she was very kind, and the horses were well-trained, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. There were also privately owned horses at the ranch, and one of the horses we encountered while riding was quite mischievous and fell right in front of us, leaving us in shock. Our guide, who also had a nursing qualification, provided emergency assistance and called an ambulance, while we waited anxiously. I realized that dealing with wild animals comes with such risks.
According to our guide, if the horse's personality doesn't match the rider's skill level, accidents can happen more easily. However, the horses at this ranch were well-behaved and properly trained, so we were able to enjoy the ride without worry until the end. We took in the magnificent scenery and sunset, treating the incident as a lesson, and it turned out to be a fun hour and a half of horseback riding.
乗馬はクアロア牧場で2度程体験しましたが、別の景色を見たいと今回こちらの牧場のサンセット乗馬を体験しました。
個人経営でこじんまりしていたので、話やすかったです。ガイドしてくれた女性は英語しかできませんが、とても優しく、馬もよく慣れていて安心して楽しめました。そこの牧場には個人所有の馬もおり、私たちが乗馬中に出会った馬がやんちゃで、目の前で落馬してしまい、唖然としました。私たちのガイドさんは看護師の資格ももっているとのことで、緊急対応し、救急車を呼んだのですが、その間私たちは緊張の面持ちで待機していました。自然の動物を相手にするのはこういったリスクも伴うものだというのを痛感しました。
ガイドさん曰く、馬の性格と乗り手の技量があっていないと、事故も起きやすいとのこと。しかしここの牧場の馬は、性格もよく、きちんと調教されているとのことで、最後まで安心して楽しめました。雄大な景色とサンセットを見て、アクシデントのことは教訓とし、楽しい1時間半の乗馬でした。

On the left side, just past the Polynesian Cultural Center, there is a sprawling ranch. It feels more like Arizona than Hawaii, with mostly white people around. There happened to be families with small children gathered there since school was out, but most were just doing short horseback riding experiences. We set off under the guidance of Amanda, who moved here from New York about a year and a half ago. The exhilaration of galloping through the hills and forests is something hard to experience in Japan. I quit the Crane Riding Club out of frustration and have been riding at the Aso Dream Land Club for about three years, but that place has a lot of hills. Here, the flat terrain makes for the best galloping. Our 30-minute private lunch included a gigantic sandwich, juice, water, a mountain of fruit, and a box of macadamia chocolates, which was way too much to finish. I took the chocolates as a souvenir. I was a bit worried about not speaking English. If you're a beginner, they won't let you ride on a course that includes galloping. It's self-reported, but you'll need to sign a waiver, so you're responsible in case of an accident.
ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターを過ぎてまもなくの左側に牧場の敷地が広がっている。白人ばかりで、ハワイというよりアリゾナあたりの感じ。たまたま学校が休みで小さな子供連れの家族が群れていたが、ほとんどは短い体験乗馬。NYから1.5年前にやってきたAmandaの案内でいざ出発。丘陵を林を思いっきり駆け抜ける爽快さは日本では味わいにくい。クレイン乗馬クラブを欲求不満でやめ、阿蘇夢大地のクラブで3年ほど乗っているが、あそこは坂が多い。当地は敷地が平坦ゆえ駈足が最高。30分の僕らだけのランチには、特大のサンドイッチ、ジュース、水、山盛りフルーツ、マカデミアチョコ1箱がついていて、到底食べきれない。チョコはおみやげにもらいました。英語ができないとちょっと心配。乗馬未経験者なら駈足なしのコースじゃないと受けてくれません。自己申告だけど免責書類にサインしますから、事故があっても自己責任ね。

My wife and I participated together. At first, my wife was hesitant to join, but she started smiling halfway through. By the end, she was eager to participate again. Since it was her first time, she was filled with anxiety and a sense of loneliness about riding alone. However, after mounting the horse for a while, she seemed to calm down with the intelligence of the well-trained horse and enjoyed the experience of horseback riding.
Having experienced horseback riding on the North Shore beaches, I found the location of this ranch to be wonderful. I particularly liked the view of Kaneohe Bay and Chinaman's Hat from the top of the hill. However, it's essential to be able to operate a camera or video with one hand, as one hand is needed for the reins. The staff will take photos in certain locations, but you still want to capture your own memories.

最初参加を渋っていた妻は、途中からにこにこ顔。
終わった後では、また参加したいという始末。

丘の上から見下ろしたカネオヘ湾や、チャナマンズハットの景色が気に入りました。
ただし、カメラやビデオは、片手で操作できる事が必須です。片手は手綱ですから。スタッフが場所により撮影してくれますが、やはり自分で撮りたいですものね。

When riding a horse, your viewpoint becomes quite high, so it might be a little scary at first.

I signed up at the request of my son, who is learning horseback riding. I thought two hours would be tough for a beginner, but it wasn't that bad. The horse was very gentle, but it occasionally wandered off to eat leaves or took several bathroom breaks, which was amusing. There was a Japanese video before the horseback riding, so I understood the precautions well. We went from a narrow mountain path to a road with a view of the sea, and entering the valley revealed a completely different landscape from the wide-open sea. There were guides about filming locations for movies like Lost, Godzilla, and Jurassic Park, which was enjoyable. However, since all the participants were from English-speaking countries and the staff only spoke English, we felt a bit isolated as we were outside the explanation circle... It seems that half-day or one-day tours have more Japanese participants. It's recommended to book in advance as it's cheaper than signing up directly on-site.

I participated in the 2-hour buggy course. First, we watched a Japanese explanation video to understand the risks, and then a staff member who spoke a little Japanese explained how to ride before we set off. The steering was heavier than driving a regular car, and driving on narrow roads was a bit scary, but I gradually got used to it and had a lot of fun riding smoothly. I joined the course that started at 3:30 PM, but it got a little dark in the evening, so the morning session might be better to fully enjoy the natural greenery. Still, this tour, where you can ride a vehicle that is hard to experience in Japan, racing through the great outdoors, is something unique to overseas. I would like to participate again.

On the day of the tour, it was raining intermittently, but I wore a T-shirt with a hoodie, so it wasn't a problem. More than that, the mist over the mountains made it even more mystical. They also provide raincoats for free.
Being swayed on the horse for two hours while surrounded by the mountain scenery was more healing than I imagined. While sunny days are beautiful, I also recommend going on a rainy day. You can see countless waterfalls that can only be seen during the rainy season. Just make sure to bring a change of T-shirt.

Since we had booked a morning activity without transportation, we started by renting a car. We were waiting at the rental car counter with plenty of time, but there was a commotion with a white woman... and before we knew it, over an hour had passed, leaving us with a very tight departure. We arrived just two minutes before the activity started (cold sweat).
The activity was all in English, which made me a bit anxious, but we first watched a five-minute horse riding explanation video in Japanese.
As we began riding, it was Christmas, so the horses were wearing reindeer hats, which was adorable. A family of Black participants was there, and they were riding very large, calm horses, but because I am small, I was on a pony? A young horse? It was quite a spirited one (sweat), not listening to me, running off on its own, arguing with the lead horse, and starting to eat (laughs). I was gripping the reins, worried about being thrown off for two hours, and my hands were soaked with sweat. The scenery was stunning, as expected for a movie set. And at the end, we discovered a climbing goat?! I was so happy to see it for the first time.
送迎なしの朝一のアクティビティを申し込んでいたので、私達はレンタカーを借りる所から始まりました。
余裕を持ってレンタカーの窓口で並んでいたのですが、なにやらもめてる白人女性が・・・そのまま1時間以上が過ぎ、かなりギリギリの出発となりました。
到着したのはアクティビティ開始2分前(冷汗)
アクティビティはすべて英語との事で若干の不安がありましたが、始めに日本語での乗馬解説ビデオを5分間くらい見ます。
いざ乗馬開始。クリスマスと言う事もあり馬がトナカイの帽子をかぶっていて可愛かったです。
一緒に参加された黒人さん家族の方は体がすごく大きく、どっしりした落ち着きのある馬に乗られていましたが、私の体が小さいからなのかポニー?子馬?のような馬で、かなりのじゃじゃ馬で(汗)言うことを聞いてくれないし、勝手に走り出すし、リードしてくれる馬と喧嘩をするし、食事をはじめるし(笑)、私は2時間振り落とされないかドキドキしながら手綱を握る手が汗びっしょりでした。景色は映画に使用されるだけあって素晴らしいものでした。なんと最後に木登りヤギ?を発見!!初めて見たので嬉しかったです。

The scenery was truly wonderful, and I enjoyed it even more than I imagined. I think going on a tour is more cost-effective and less of a hassle, but for those who want to leisurely enjoy horseback riding, I recommend the 2-hour course. (It goes by in no time.) I would love to do it again.
景色が本当にすばらしく、想像以上に楽しめました。
ツアーで行ったほうが値段や手間的にはお得かと思いますが、乗馬をのんびり楽しみたい人は2時間コースがオススメです。(あっという間です)
また、リピートしたいです。

There was no pickup, but The Bus was sufficient. For us, who practice equestrianism in Japan, this ranch was the best and made us so happy. It felt like being a cowboy. The staff were friendly (American).
On the way back, I think it would be great to get off at Kahuku and enjoy shrimp, corn, and more!
ピックアップは無いけれどThe Bus で充分行けました。日本で馬術している私達にとって、これ程嬉しい牧場は最高でした。カーボーイ気分です。スタッフも親切(アメリカン)。
帰りはカフクで降りてシュリンプ、コーンなど召し上がったら良いと思うわ!!

This horse ride was all it was promised to be!! We rode on the beach for a good long time! My family and I were looking to do horseback riding that wasn't just on a land trail. Staff was friendly and helpful.
A little more expensive compared to the other locations on the island, but the horses are wonderful and location by the beach makes it even better!

It was OK. No transportation goes to this activity to start with, so you have to rent a car to get there. They ask you to be the 1/2 hour early, but there is no good reason why because they tell you to go take a walk and are late anyway. The reason you need to bring a swim suit is to use their pool. It has nothing to do with the ride which is nose to tail and they not only would not late us take a camera but never volunteered to take any for us. The woman who seemed to run the tour had no personality at all. But the scenery was awesome :)

My granddaughters and I went for the trail ride in November 2011 and were more excited about this activity than any other we were doing. We were told to be there 1/2 hour early and we were, but we had to wait, not only for other people, but for the instructors who said it was just because they were laid back. We then had to go through 1/2 hour of lecturing about the horses being athletes and spooked very easily and exactly how to do and not do EVERYTHING - from how to hold your hands almost to how to breath so you didn't spook these magnificent animals. We were not allowed to take cameras because the click of the camera may spook them and we were never offered the opportunity for anyone to take photos of us riding anywhere - especially on the beach. The unpleasant female who did all these instructions never came out of her funk. When we finally rode, the horses walked nose to tail and very slowly and never showed any signs of spunk or being spooked by anything. When we were done,
