All Reviews for Horseback Riding Tours

The horses living in the vast grounds were all very calm and well accustomed to people. It was refreshing to be able to run freely in nature. I will definitely use this again the next time I come to Hawaii!

広大な敷地の中で生活している馬たちは皆、とても穏やかで良く人に慣れていました。自然の中で思いっきり駆け足して乗れるのは爽快でした。次回、ハワイに来た時も又必ず利用します！

I had my first horseback riding experience just a few days before my daughter's wedding. Contrary to my worries, I really enjoyed it. The four horses we rode were each a bit greedy or laid-back, but they were all very well-behaved, which made me feel at ease. The Japanese guide and driver took us to a famous food truck where the garlic shrimp was absolutely delicious!

娘の結婚式を数日後に控えての初の 外乗りでの 乗馬体験。
心配をよそに とても楽しめました。 4人の乗った馬はそれぞれ食いしん坊だったり マイペースだったり でもとてもお利口で安心です。
ガイド 兼ドライバーの 日本人の人が案内してくれた 有名なフードトラックのガーリックシュリンプは最高に美味しかった！

My wife wanted to go horseback riding, so I joined her. I didn't have high expectations, but I was very satisfied with the experience. Riding along the North Shore coastline on horseback was quite comfortable. We enjoyed eating garlic shrimp, buying T-shirts, and although it was short, it was a fun time. Above all, the guide's instructions were excellent. It was also a great way to learn about Hawaii, and I highly recommend it.

妻が乗馬をしたいと言うので参加。自分はさほど期待していませんでしたが、結果は大満足でした。ノースショアの海岸を馬の背中に揺られて行くのは中々に快適でした。ガーリックシュリンプを食べたり、Tシャツを買ったり、短いながらも楽しいですが、何と言ってもガイドの方の案内が良かった。ハワイの勉強にもなりオススメです。

I requested the advanced course. A Japanese participant mentioned that this is the only place on Oahu where you can do cantering, and they said they visited various places before finding this one. They adjust to the participants' levels, but we started running early on (laughs).

The wind felt nice, and the scenery was very beautiful, making it a fun experience. The horses were all quite relaxed as well.

上級者コースを頼みました。その時一緒になった日本人の方曰く、オアフの乗馬で駈歩ができるのはここのみで、その方はガンストックを見つけるまでに色々巡ったそうです。
参加者のレベルにも合わせてくれますが、始まって早々に走りました（笑）

風が気持ち良く、景色もとても綺麗で楽しかったです。馬たちもみんなのんびりしていました。

A 2-hour horseback riding course! I had an initial riding license, so I was thrilled to ride. The magnificent, expansive scenery that you can't experience in Japan, the pleasant breeze, and the polite guidance in English made the moments walking along the coastline truly wonderful and moving.

In the last 30 minutes, my lack of training made my thighs hurt, possibly because I wore clothes that rubbed against me. So, everyone, please be careful when participating.

乗馬２時間コース！乗馬の初期の免許ももっていたので、るんるんで乗りました、日本では体験できない壮大な、奥行きのある風景、気持ちのよい風、英語での丁寧なガイダンス、海岸線を歩く瞬間は本当に素晴らしく感動的でした。
残り、３０分、私の鍛錬不足が股がいたくていたくて、こすれるような服でいったからかもしれません。そこは皆さん、気をつけて参加してください。

I participated on March 8, 2017.

I wanted to ride along the coast, so I rented a car and went to the North Shore. There were some online warnings about it being hard to find, but it was well-marked on Google and the rental car's navigation system, so I had no trouble once I got close. However, it's definitely tough without a rental car.

Our club is located in a corner of a spacious polo field, and the horses were relaxed, providing a much more open atmosphere compared to Japan.

After showing our voucher, we set off with two teenage girls and a total of four people plus one staff member. The saddles were Western-style, which I wasn't used to, but the horses were really calm. The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, and the breeze felt great—it was the perfect outdoor ride.

However, the customer service felt a bit indifferent, and I got the impression that they weren't very accustomed to dealing with customers. I also wished we could have done a bit more trotting and cantering.

I recommend this for anyone who wants to enjoy a leisurely ride along the coast (beginners are absolutely welcome).

ただ接客は少し素っ気ない感じであまり客対応になれていない印象を受けました。
後は駆歩や早歩が少しできればよかったなと。笑

I participated with my mother. The local guide provided deep insights into Hawaii's history and current social issues, which was very informative. Since the guide recommended some great shops on the North Shore in advance, I think we made effective use of our time, even though lunch was within an hour. We went horseback riding for nearly an hour along the beach, and the scenery was beautiful, plus the horses were adorable, so we were very satisfied. There were quite a few elderly people as well, so I believe horseback riding is accessible regardless of age.

母と2人で参加しました。現地のガイドの方はハワイの歴史や現在の社会問題などとても深く切り込んでお話してくださり、とてもためになりました。
ノースショアのオススメのお店を予めガイドさんに教えて頂いたので、ランチは1時間以内でしたが、時間を有効活用できたと思います。
乗馬は1時間近く海辺を散歩したのですが、景色もよく馬も可愛いので大満足でした。高齢の方も結構いらっしゃったので、年齢に関係なく乗馬できると思います。

We had a blast! The scenery was awesome! The weather co-operated perfectly. We were treated to many film locations along the way and ever got to ride through a herd of grazing cattle! Our guide was very friendly, knowledgable about the ranch and the different points of interests on the trail. She had superb riding skills and took excellent care of us during the tour. The horses were well taken care of, healthy and have good dispositions. I had not been on a horse in over 20 years and my husband has limited riding experience, but that did not matter, the staff conducted a safety brief before we started, answered all our questions and matched us with our mounts. What an awesome way for us to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary!

We are a family of five. My wife and I (over 60), our two sons, and our daughter are all adults, but we were nervous about our first horseback riding experience. However, seeing a child around seven years old riding before us made us feel at ease. The location has a sign on the left side of Route 83, and if you turn left, it's right there. You can also see the ranch along the road. The office is the meeting place, but there are no signs inside the ranch, so we went towards the back where there was a building, and we found a small office in a place with a few parked cars. There was no permanent staff, and after the previous riding group returned, the guide helped us with the check-in. During the one-hour ride, we climbed hills and maneuvered through trees, and everyone was satisfied. It was okay to ride with a small shoulder bag or pouch. Unfortunately, there was no horseback riding by the beach.

家族５人です。妻と私（６０歳以上）・息子２人・娘１人全員大人ですが初乗馬ドキドキしていましたが、１組前に７歳くらいの子供が乗っていたのを見て安心しました。場所はルート８３の左側に案内看板があり左折すればすぐです。道路沿いにも牧場が見えます。オフイスが集合場所となっていますが、牧場内に案内看板はなく、とりあえず建物がある奥へ行き、数台駐車している場所があったので行くと、そこに小さな小屋のようなオフイスがありました。常設の係員はいなく、前の乗馬組が戻ってからそのガイドの方が受付をしてくれました。１時間の乗馬で牧場内の丘を登ったり、木の間をすり抜けたりみんな満足していました。小さなショルダーバック・ポーチはつけたままでも乗馬OKでした。残念ながら海辺の乗馬はありませんでした。

I achieved my goal, but something felt lacking. I was just too busy to savor the moment. It's not suitable for those who want to take their time.

目的は達成できたけど、何か物足りなかったです。とにかく忙しすぎて余韻に浸るヒマもない。
ゆっくり過ごしたい方には不向きです。

Honestly, there wasn't enough time to enjoy North Shore with a tight schedule... However, I think we managed to visit some famous spots like enjoying delicious garlic shrimp and stopping by Dole Plantation. The horseback riding was great too, as the weather was nice, allowing us to enjoy the scenery while taking a leisurely stroll. The staff was friendly, and I was very satisfied being able to hold the reins and ride freely. ^^

ノースショアは正直、タイトなスケジュールで楽しむ程の時間もありません…ですが、美味しいガーリックシュリンプを食べたりドールプランテーションに寄ったりと有名どころは回れたのかなと思います。
乗馬は天気が良かったこともあり、景色を楽しみながらお散歩ができました。スタッフの方もフレンドリーで、自分で手綱を握って自由にできたので大満足でした^^

We had such a wonderful experience at Kualoa Ranch, one of the highlights of our trip! We were paired with amazing, gentle horses and accompanied by a fantastic and friendly tour guide! Two hours was the perfect amount of time and saw the best part of the ranch, some of their 600 organic grass-fed cows, the gorgeous valley where parts of Jurassic Park and World, Lost, and King Kong were filmed, and beautiful views of the ocean, China Man's hat and 'Turtle' Island . The horses knew right where to go, so it was a very easy ride for the inexperienced, which allowed us to take on the gorgeous sights! We would highly recommend!

Our guides we're very sweet and helpful with guidance, I thought we would have more time to ride on the beach but it was very short towards the end. It's more of a quick trail ride on the forest area with a view of the beach, but obviously that's not the guides fault. Great for a first time experience!

Had such a great time with my family here. It was our first time and the lady's made us feel so comfortable. The scenery was beautiful. I would definitely come back again!

I had a mix of no riding experience and a little bit, so I chose the 1 hour and 30 minutes course to fully enjoy horseback riding. The weather was nice, and the beautiful grasslands and mountains were a sight to behold. Along the way, I could also see the ocean, and while enjoying the magnificent scenery of Hawaii, I felt like a cowboy holding the reins.

Emily, who led us the whole time, shared interesting stories about the ranch and occasionally mentioned the cows and calves we saw. My daughter acted as an interpreter, which helped me understand everything. The horses were impressive, and the saddles were comfortable. Each horse had its own personality (there were six of us participating), and we had a lot of fun.

As someone with a bit of riding experience, I definitely want to participate in a course here where I can gallop again!

乗馬経験無しと少し有りと色々でしたので
たっぷり乗馬を満喫出来る1時間30分のコースにしました。
お天気も良く、見渡す草原と山並みが綺麗で、途中、海も見渡すことが出来、
アメリカハワイの雄大な景色を見渡しながら、カウボーイ気分で手綱を握って乗馬を満喫出来ました。

ずっと、先導してくれた
Emilyが、この牧場に関する事や、時々見かける、牛や子牛のエピソードなどを話してくれたのも、興味深かったです。
娘が間に入って通訳してくれて
理解できたのですが・・・
馬も立派で,鞍も座り心地良かったし、
それぞれ馬も個性があって(6人で参加)
色々楽しめました。
また、
少々乗馬経験有りの私は、
是非またここで、
駆け足が出来るコースに参加したいと思い
ました！！！

It seems that a 4-year-old child and their dad had a great time riding impressive horses. While waiting for the adult riding session to finish, they spent time playing with the equipment and animals on the premises.

My husband and I had a wonderful time. The ranch was beautiful and so was the scenery on the ride. Our guide was wonderful and very fun/easy to talk to. This was my first time riding and it was a great experience. I highly recommend this!

The bus guide was very kind and pleasant. In Haleiwa Town, there were many cute shops, and I was excited to go shopping. It was my first time riding a horse, and I found handling the horse interesting, while the seaside walk was refreshing. Unfortunately, the sea turtles didn't show up, but this tour was really fun!

バスのガイドさんがとても親切で感じの良い方でした。ハレイワタウンでは とっても可愛いお店が並んでてワクワクしながらお買い物ができました。
乗馬も 初めてでしたが 馬さんの扱いが面白かったし 海辺の散歩は気持ち良かったです。ウミガメは残念ながら現れてくれませんでしたが、このツアーとても楽しかったです！

I love horses. Zero hands on experience with these beautiful animals but they make me feel so comfortable that they make me look like I've been riding for years! ;) Would go back in a heartbeat!!!

It was my first time riding a horse, along with my 9-year-old daughter and my husband, aside from pony rides. However, the hour and a half flew by. The spacious ranch had remnants of an old rodeo arena, irrigation from sugarcane fields, and what seemed to be a weapons storage or air raid shelter used during World War II. They explained everything slowly and kindly, even to Japanese people who don't speak much English.

As we climbed the hill, we could see the ocean, and there were very old horses (34 and 36 years old, while the average lifespan is 25 to 30 years) leisurely spending time with younger horses. Wild pigs, cows, donkeys, goats, sheep, dogs, and chickens all looked happy.

The horses were smart, gentle, and safe. It was truly a valuable experience. I would love to go again.

9歳の娘と夫婦とも、引き馬以外では初乗馬。でも、1時間半があっと言う間でした。広い牧場には昔のロデオアリーナ、さとうきび畑の灌漑の名残、第二次大戦に使われた武器庫？防空壕？などがあり、英語はあまり出来ない日本人にもゆっくり丁寧に説明してくれました。
丘を登ると海が見渡せ、超高齢馬(34と36歳、普通寿命は25〜30年)が若い馬とのんびり過ごしていたり、野生の豚、牛、ロバ、ヤギ、羊、犬、ニワトリなどがみんな幸せそうに見えました。
馬達も賢く優しくて安全です。本当に貴重な体験でした。またぜひ行きたいです。

My first horseback riding experience was a bit scary at first, but it was amazing with the beautiful scenery along the coast. The horse wandered into the bushes to graze, and I almost got separated from everyone, plus it suddenly started running, showing its wild side, but in the end, I think I managed to ride it well, haha.

初めての乗馬、最初は怖かったが、海岸沿いで景色が良く最高でした。馬が勝手に茂みに入り草を食むので皆からはぐれそうになったり、急に走り出したりで、じゃじゃ馬ぶりを発揮されたが、最後は乗りこなせたかなｗ

I was initially worried because there was no shuttle service, but I was able to easily get there by bus from Ala Moana, so I decided to participate. It was my first time horseback riding, and I was a bit anxious, but the horse was so smart that I had no worries at all. I saw reviews saying that the one-hour course was not enough, so I chose the two-hour course, but since we weren't used to it, our backsides and legs started to hurt in the second half. Perhaps it was because we chose the 3 PM course or because it rained, but it was really cold, and I thought the one-hour course would have been sufficient. However, riding a horse through such beautiful nature was a truly valuable experience.

送迎がついていなかったので悩みましたが、アラモアナからバスで簡単に行くことが出来たので参加しました。
初めての乗馬で少し不安もありましたが、馬が賢すぎて何の心配もありませんでした。
1時間だと物足りないという口コミを見て2時間コースにしましたが、慣れていない私達は後半お尻や足が痛くなりました。
15時のコースにしていたからか、雨が降ったからか、とにかく寒くて1時間コースで十分だったと思いました。
ただ、あの大自然の中を馬に乗って歩け、とても貴重な経験となりました。

I used it for the first time and had a great time. The horses are really smart, and if you give them a firm command, you can ride them without any issues.

初めて利用させて頂きましたが
とても楽しくすごせました。
お馬さんは本当に利口で
少しきつめに指示すれば
問題なく乗れました。

We had an awesome time! Highly recommend this activity!!

I enjoyed horseback riding while watching the sunset with my daughter. I experienced it in Kualoa during the summer, but the horseback riding here was better. I was able to enjoy the scenery that truly represents Hawaii.

娘とサンセットを見ながらの乗馬を楽しみました、夏にクアロアで体験したのですが、こちらでの乗馬の方が良かったです。
これぞハワイと言う景色を楽しめました。

We went as a family of four (all adults). It was almost our first time riding horses, but the horses were well-trained and followed the lead horse without any issues. I think it's fine as long as you're old enough to sit properly on the horse (around middle school age).

The view from the riding course was beautiful, with the sea visible. Even after one hour, my backside started to hurt a bit, and since the sunlight was hot, I think two hours might be too long. I would like to go again if I have the chance.

家族４人(全員大人です)でいきました．乗馬はほぼ初めてでしたが，馬たちはきっちり訓練されており，先頭の馬にちゃんとついていくので問題ありません．馬にきちんと座っていられる年齢(中学生くらい)以上であれば大丈夫だと思います．
乗馬コースからは海も見えきれいな景色でした．
１時間でも少しお尻が痛くなったのと，日光が暑いので２時間は長いかなと思います．
また機会があれば行きたいと思いました．

It was my first time horseback riding, and I was very satisfied after just one hour. Before the ride, there was an explanation in English, but it included gestures, so even if you don't understand English, you can somewhat grasp the information. There were other participants (foreigners) besides us, and we had a group of five plus one guide for the ride. During the ride, the guide spoke to us in slow English (asking things like where we were from). They were very kind, which was great. At one point, the horse stopped moving, but the guide handled it well. It was cloudy that day, but the greenery made for a very pleasant experience. It's a bit far from Waikiki, but I recommend it for beginners.

初めての乗馬でしたが、1時間で大満足でした。
乗馬の前に英語での説明がありますが、ジェスチャーが入るので、英語が分からなくても何となく理解できます。
私たち以外にも参加者（外国の方）がいて5名+ガイド1名での乗馬となりました。乗馬中、ガイドの方がゆっくりとした英語で話しかけてくれました。（何処から来たの？等）優しい方で良かったです。途中、馬が動かなくなってしまいましたが、しっかりガイドの方が対応してくれました。
当日は曇り空でしたが、緑が多くとても気持ちが良い体験となりました。
ワイキキからは少し遠いですが、初心者の方にもおすすめです。

I participated with my 66-year-old mother and 11-year-old daughter. Although I couldn't speak any Japanese, the staff were very kind, so we managed to get by with our feelings. It was our first time riding horses, and we were able to enjoy it from start to finish. Both my mother and daughter were very happy. However, the long bus ride and the uncertainty of the time made us anxious until we got back, but we created wonderful memories. Thank you!

66歳の母と11歳の娘を連れて参加しました。日本語は全く通じませんでしたが、対応してくれた方がとても親切でしたので、なんとかフィーリングで切り抜けました。初めての乗馬でしたが、最初から最後まで楽しく乗ることができました。母も娘もすごく喜んでくれました。ただ、The busでの移動が長いのと時間の予測がつかないのとで、帰って来るまでドキドキでしたが素晴らしい思い出ができました。ありがとうございました！

Very nice staff. Sara was very helpful and informative. Benny and Clara, our gracious horses, were amazing! The scenery was breathtaking. Wish I were there right now.

I leisurely went horseback riding along the North Shore beach. The well-trained horses trotted through the forest and along the seaside paths. It was a pleasant experience while watching people sunbathing and fishing, enjoying the waves of the North. During my stroll in Haleiwa, I also enjoyed an avocado burger and shave ice, making it a very satisfying tour.

ノースショアの海辺をのんびり乗馬しました。よく訓練された馬達で林の中や海辺の道を　ポコポコ。日光浴や釣りをしている人、ノースの波を見ながらの気持ちの良い体験でした。ハレイワの散策ではアボガドバーガーやシェイブアイスも食べて大満足のツアーでした。
