I wanted to go horseback riding in Hawaii, so I signed up for this 2-hour horseback riding course. Actually, I used to attend a riding club over 10 years ago, but I quit because I was scared of galloping. This time, since I was just walking slowly on horseback in the great outdoors, I felt completely at ease and thoroughly enjoyed riding again after a long time. It had been several years since I last rode a horse (I rode a few years ago in Hokkaido), so it took me a little time to regain my sense of balance at first, but after a while, I remembered the feeling and was able to enjoy the scenery. Just before we mounted the horses, there was a heavy downpour, and I was wondering what would happen, but fortunately, we didn't get rained on at all during the ride. It was also pleasantly cool, not too hot, and a bit cloudy, which made for perfect riding weather.
ハワイで乗馬したいと思い、こちらを申し込みました。2時間の乗馬コースです。実は、10年以上前まで乗馬クラブに通っていたのですが、駆け足がこわまなって辞めてしまった経験があります。今回は、馬に乗って大自然の中をゆっくり歩くだけなので、まったく怖くなく、久しぶりの乗馬を堪能できました。そもそも馬に乗るのが数年ぶり(北海道で何年か前にのっこたとがある)でしたので、最初はちょっと感覚を取り戻すのに時間がかかりましたが、途中から感覚を思い出し、それからは景色を堪能できました。乗る少し前に激しいスコールがあり、どうなるかと思いましたが、運よく乗馬中は、まったく雨に降られることなく、かといって暑すぎずに曇り気味だったので涼しくてちょうどよかったです。
初心者でも馬に乗って歩くだけなので大丈夫です。ただ、1分程度の短いビデオを見てすぐに馬に乗るので、少しは乗馬の経験があったほうが安心かもしれません。

After about an hour on the bus from the meeting point, we arrived at Kualoa Ranch. Upon arrival, we gathered on the deck in front of the building entrance. The reception areas and schedules for each course were explained in English. Shortly after, our names were called, and we received a voucher detailing the activity's reception time, start time, and the return bus schedule. The reception time was strict, and they wouldn't accept us early. While shoulder bags and items hanging around the neck were not allowed, smartphones were permitted. Only still photos could be taken; videos were not allowed. However, if a GoPro was secured to the body and not held in hand, it was fine. For small personal items and water bottles, we could borrow a small bag to hang on the saddle, so anything that fit in there could be brought along.
The course offered stunning views of the ocean after passing through the forest, but I was most looking forward to the Jurassic Park filming location, which had a vast grassy valley. Unfortunately, the path to it was under maintenance, and our time was shortened by 30 minutes, resulting in a 25% refund later. My first horseback riding experience was fun, but my backside became sore, and the pain lingered for three days. (laughs) Still, it's a shame I couldn't see the valley, so I would like to try again.
集合場所からバスに揺られて約1時間でクアロアランチに到着しました。到着後、建物入口前にあるデッキに一旦集合。各コースごとの受付場所やスケジュールなどが英語で説明されます。程なくして名前が呼ばれ、アクティビティの受付時間と開始時間、帰りのバスの時間などが記されたバウチャーが手渡されました。受付時間は正確で早めに申し出ても時間にならないと受付てくれませんでした。ショルダーバックや首からぶら下げる物はダメですが、スマホは持参OKです。撮影は静止画のみで動画はダメだそうです。しかしGoProは身体に固定出来て手で持たなければ大丈夫でした。身の回りの小物やペットボトルは鞍に掛ける小物入れバックが借りれるのでそれに入る物であれば持参出来ました。
コースは林間を抜けると海が見えて来て素晴らしい景色のコースでしたが、1番楽しみにしていたジュラシックパークのロケ地で草原が広がる谷には途中の道が整備中で行く事が出来ず、時間も30分短縮されたため後から25%の返金がありました。初めての乗馬は楽しかったけどお尻が痛くなり、痛みは3日間尾を引きました。(笑)
それでも谷が見れなかったのは残念なのでまたリベンジしたいと思います。
I got caught in the rain halfway through, but I quickly took out my rain jacket from my pocket and was praised by the instructor with a "NICE!" Since the rain after departure can be tough, I recommend

Upon arriving at Kualoa Ranch, we were guided on where to wait inside the bus. They also spoke in Japanese. On that day, there were Japanese staff members present at the facility, and they gathered only the Japanese guests to provide detailed explanations about the locations of the restrooms and lockers. The scenery while riding the horses was breathtaking and became a wonderful memory.

I think it's best to wear long pants that you don't mind getting dirty because when a horse goes to the bathroom, the splatter can be quite intense.

The weather was clear and perfect for horseback riding on the day of the experience. I had tried horseback riding a few times in Japan, but this was my first long ride, and it was an incredibly enjoyable experience. It seems there has been a lot of rain recently, and due to some paths being washed out, the 2-hour plan was shortened to 1.5 hours, but it was still more than enough of an experience. They also offered a refund for the shortened time. Since I was at the upper limit of the weight for riding, I was a bit anxious during the weighing process, but I was assigned the largest horse, so I was able to enjoy the experience without any issues.

I think being able to ride horses along the coast is something unique to Hawaii, so I decided to participate. All the explanations were in English, but during the drive, our driver, Kaz, kindly provided information in Japanese, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience! The horses seemed well-trained; they moved forward on their own when the horse in front did. In Haleiwa, I was dropped off at my desired location, so I could easily go to the shops I wanted to visit!

Kualoa Ranch, famous for being a filming location for Jurassic Park, is truly breathtaking when you see the scenery right in front of you. The horseback riding lasts a solid two hours. You ride in a line of six, navigating some pretty tough paths, including narrow trails and cliffs. However, the horses are very smart and know the way, so there are no issues.
One instructor accompanies you and explains the locations in English. Occasionally, if a horse doesn't move or if a rider's posture is poor, they will give you a reminder. My legs were shaking after the two hours, but it was truly a valuable experience, and I'm glad I did it! Since it's a tour, you might have some free time afterward, but the burgers at the café are incredibly delicious, and since the ocean is right next to it, you can relax by the sea if you return within the time limit. I think it's an experience you can't have in Japan!

It was the best experience. The two-hour horseback riding was fulfilling, taking us from the ocean side of Kualoa Ranch through the plateau where Jurassic World was filmed. We formed a group of six, with the guide leading us in a single file. This time, we were in a group with two couples from America and Australia. Throughout the two hours, the guide moved to the front, the middle, and the back, carefully following each person. It was my first time riding for such a long duration, and I was nervous at first, but the guide's support allowed me to ride with peace of mind. At some point, I felt a connection with the horse, and I couldn't help but find it adorable. Before the ride, the guide mounted a horse and explained how to ride. (Japanese participants are shown a Japanese video without needing to request it.)
Due to age restrictions, I went ahead to Kualoa Ranch with my older child for horseback riding, and in the afternoon, I met up with my husband and younger child to enjoy the buggies. I saw reviews mentioning waiting for the return bus, so I arranged for transportation only for myself and my older child for the ride there, and we returned with a taxi that we had booked for the whole family. There were hamburgers and other items available at the shop. During horseback riding, you can only take drinks and a smartphone, but there is a locker available for $5 a day that allows for multiple entries and can hold about three backpacks.
最高の体験でした。
2時間の乗馬は、クアロアランチの海側からジュラシックワールドの撮影場所の台地を抜けて進むという内容で充実しました。6人でグループになり、ガイドが先導し1列で進んでいきます。今回はアメリカとオーストラリアから参加したカップル2組と一緒のグループになりました。ガイドは2時間の間、前に行ったり、真ん中に入ったり、最後尾についたり、一人一人丁寧にフォローしてくれました。長時間の乗馬は初めてで最初は緊張しましたが、ガイドのフォローで安心して乗ることが出来ました。途中から馬と少し心が通じた?気がして、馬が可愛くて仕方なかったです。乗馬前には、ガイドが馬に跨り、乗馬について説明してくれます。(日本人はリクエストしなくても日本語の動画を見せられます。)
年齢制限があるため、乗馬は上の子供と一足先にクアロアランチに向かい、午後は夫と下の子供と合流し、バギーを楽しみました。
帰りのバスの時間が待つという口コミを見たので、送迎は私と上の子だけ有りで行きのみ利用し、帰りは家族全員で予約していたタクシーで帰りました。食事はハンバーガーなどが売店にありました。乗馬時は飲み物とスマホくらいしか持って行けませんが、1日5ドルで何度でも出し入れできるロッカーがあり、リュック3個くらいは入ります。
After horseback riding, the guide sent us the photos they took via AirDrop. It's best to give a tip at this time.

The tour was supposed to be two hours, but I was surprised to hear it would only be an hour and a half that day, with a refund offered.

I signed up to go horseback riding along the beach in Haleiwa. At first, I was worried I might fall off, but thanks to the very smart horse, I got used to it quickly. It was like a dream to be able to ride for a long time along the beach. It started to rain, and my pants and hair got quite wet, but I was able to borrow a raincoat, so my upper body stayed dry.

It was a truly wonderful experience! Honestly, it was expensive, but it created the best memories.
We signed up for a two-hour horseback riding experience with transportation for three people aged 70, 41, and 13. We gathered at 7:30 and boarded the bus, which was supposed to arrive 45 minutes before the activity, but we got there just a few minutes before 9:00. I was worried about not being able to participate, but we were told to wait on a bench, and the staff called our names and handed us a paper with the activity details. Then we moved to another location where they explained each area in English, and it felt like we were dismissed. I thought it was easy to understand since the reception areas were visible from where we were.
We went directly to the horseback riding reception, signed in, and the staff helped us choose our horses. Everything went smoothly, and we even had time to use the restroom. The restroom was a portable one, but it was spacious and relatively clean. There was a sign saying not to flush the toilet paper, but I realized that after I had flushed it.
The horses were truly intelligent, following the path perfectly at a good speed. We rode through the shade of trees and could see the ocean, arriving at a meadow where we could see those amazing mountains. The guide had a reaction that seemed quite rare, as my horse suddenly lowered its posture and lay down in that meadow. I jumped off when it lowered itself and moved away a bit, so I wasn't injured, but it rolled on its back as if scratching itself and quickly stood up. The guide repeatedly said sorry and checked if I was okay. I realized that even the smartest animals can behave unpredictably, so it's important to keep that in mind. However, my mother in her 70s, who I was most worried about, was able to enjoy the experience until the end and said she was really glad she did it without any physical issues!
After horseback riding, I gave the guide a tip of $100, which might seem small compared to the experience fee of over $90, but I thought it was appropriate to follow local customs.
We finished around 11:30 and looked at photos of the actors before heading to buy lunch. There was already a long line, and we waited nearly 30 minutes after ordering. Our bus was scheduled to leave at 1:00, so we only had a little time to eat and took the rest back to the hotel. We had been talking about having plenty of time, but in the end, it was a bit rushed.
A photographer in a buggy took pictures of each of us as soon as we started riding. Each photo was $20. The buggy could accommodate four people, and the price was the same. Payment by card was available. By the way, I was able to ride with a North Face body bag attached to my waist. Even those without bags could borrow pockets on the saddle for drinks or smartphones.
In our group of six, consisting of my daughter, mother, myself, and three others, we lined up in that order, so I ended up with many photos of the backs of the two in front of me. Although I managed to take some photos while turning back as we got used to it, I only have about three mediocre photos of myself. I regret not trying harder to ask the guide to take at least one family photo, even if it was a long shot. By the way, we didn’t go to any locations with signs that clearly indicated they were filming sites for movies. I think the people on the bus went to those places.
Being able to experience horseback riding while seeing the magnificent scenery, which is different from Japan, was the best memory of my long-held dream. I think everyone should try it at least once.
とても良い経験となりました!正直高いですが、最高の思い出です。
09:30〜の乗馬2時間体験送迎付に70歳、41歳、13歳の3人で申し込みました。07:30の集合でバスに乗り込み、アクティビティの45分前までに着くようにと記載ありますが、着いたのが09:00数分前。
もしこれで参加できなかったらどうしようと不安でしたが、ベンチで待つよう言われ、受付の方が名前を呼びアクティビティ記載の紙を渡す→場所移動→英語で各場所の説明?をされ、解散みたいな感じでした。各受付はその場から見える範囲にあるのでわかりやすいと思いました。
私達はそのまま乗馬の受付にいき、サインしてスタッフが馬を選んでくれたりの流れでした。バタバタする事もなく、トイレにもいけました。トイレは簡易トイレですが、広く割と綺麗でした。トイレットペーパーは流さないでと張り紙がありましたが、流した後に気づきました。
馬は本当に賢くて、速度も道順もバッチリです。木陰を進み海が見えてきて、あの凄い山々が見える草原?広場?に到着です。
こんなことは滅多にないような反応をガイドさんがしてましたが、私の馬がその広場で急に姿勢を低くし、寝っ転がりました。私は低くなった時に飛び降り少し離れたので怪我等なかったですが、寝転がり背中をカイカイみたいにモゾモゾしてすぐ立ち上がりました。
ガイドさんに何度もsorryと言われ、怪我はないか?の確認もされました。どんなに賢くても生き物なのでこういった事も起こり得るという事は忘れずにいた方がいいと実感しました。
でも1番心配していた70代の母も最後まで体験でき、体の不調もなく本当にしてよかった!と言っています。
乗馬後、9万超えの体験料のチップとしては少ないかもですが、100ドルをガイドさんにお渡ししました。
それでも私にとっては高いですが、郷に入れば郷に従えでお渡ししました。
終わったのが11:30頃で俳優さんの写真等を見てから昼食を買いに行きました。既に長蛇の列で、注文してからも30分近く待ちました。13:00発のバスで15分前集合でしたので、ほんの少しだけ食べ後は持ち帰り、ホテルで食べました。割と時間あるねーなんて話していたのに結果最後はバタバタでした。
バギーに乗ったカメラマンさんが、乗馬始まってすぐ1人ずつ写真を撮ってくださいました。
これは1枚20ドルでした。バギーは一台で4人家族とかで写っていて同じ値段でした。カード払いできます。
ちなみに写真にうっていますが、ノースフェイスのボディバックを腰につけては乗馬可能でした。カバンがない人でも飲み物とかスマホ等は鞍?につけるポケットを貸してもらえるので大丈夫です。
娘、母、私と他3名の6人グループで、この順番に一列になって進んで行ったので、2人の後ろ姿ばかりの写真が多く、途中慣れてきて後を振り返っての写真も撮れましたが、私の写真は微妙な写真が3枚程度です。ガイドさんにダメ元でも家族の写真を1枚でも撮ってもらう様に頑張って話しかけたらよかったと、そこだけ後悔しています。
ちなみに、乗馬では映画のロケ地だとパッとわかるような看板等には行きません。バスに乗ってる方々がそーゆーところに行かれてたのかと思います。
日本とは違う壮大な景色を見ながら長年の夢だった乗馬体験をできた事は最高の思い出です。
一度は体験してほしいと思います。
I was consciously trying to relax my muscles along the way. Although my speed was slow, I had been tensing up unconsciously, but since I was making an effort to relax, I didn't end up with muscle sore
途中途中で意識してうちももの力を抜くようにしていました。速度もゆっくりなのですが、無意識に力が入ってしまってたので、抜くようにしていたからか、筋肉痛にはなりませんでした。

It is located in a private area with a gate. You will need a passcode to open the gate, which will be sent to you via email.
It takes longer to reach the location than what is shown on Google Maps after entering the private area.
Horseback riding is suitable for beginners. There will be a simple lecture at the beginning, all in English, but it's okay if you're not proficient in English.
You will pass through hilly areas and arrive at an open spot where you can see the ocean. They took pictures there.
At the end, you can feed your horse by hand.
The horses have names inspired by Hawaii. The horse that my family rode was named Aloha.
現地プライベート地区にあり、ゲートがあります。ゲートを開けるのに暗証番号が必要になります。番号はメールに来ます。
プライベート地区に入ってから現地に着くまで、Googleマップに表示されてるより、時間がかかります。
乗馬は初心者でも大丈夫です。初めに簡単なレクチャーがあります、全部英語ですが、英語が得意で無くても問題ありません。
アップダウンある所を通り、海が見える開けた場所にでます。そこで写真を撮ってくれました。
最後は自分の乗った馬に手でフードをあげる事が出来ます。
馬の名前はハワイにちなんだ名前が付いてます。家族の乗った馬はアロハでした。
I think it would be great to have a case that can hang from your neck for your phone.
携帯を首にぶら下げられるケースがあると良いと思います

I thought that a two-hour horseback riding experience wouldn't cover much distance or time, but to my surprise, it was a perfectly ample amount of both! It was an activity where I could enjoy the most breathtaking views while glancing at other tour groups. (I also experienced zip-lining on the same day.) I don't think there are many horseback riding experiences in Japan that allow for such a generous amount of time. I highly recommend giving it a try!
乗馬2時間、といってもさほどの距離や時間はないだろう、と思っていたら、なんとなんと!きっちりたっぷりの時間と距離で、他のツアーの人を横目に見ながら1番絶景を拝めるアクティビティだったのでは?思います(同日にジップラインも経験)
こんなにたっぷり時間を取れる乗馬体験は日本ではあまりないのではないかな、と。
是非チャレンジしてください。

We participated with our children aged 9, 11, and 13 at their request. Even my 9-year-old daughter, who is 120 cm tall, was able to ride alone. We received instructions on how to handle the reins and how to ride. Our guide, Kaz, accompanied us to the riding location and helped with everything from check-in to translation, which was a great help. He taught us how to ride during the transfer, and even though it was everyone's first time riding, we had a lot of fun. I can't speak any English, but having Kaz made me feel very secure. The staff at the riding location were not very impressive; they seemed to be new and a bit inexperienced. It felt like the tip was paid not for the staff, but for the smart horses. Since the tour was focused on horseback riding, we didn't plan for any exploration and just enjoyed a relaxed time.
子供からのリクエストで、9歳、11歳、13歳の子供と親子で参加しました。9歳120センチ女児でも1人で乗馬させてもらえます。手綱捌きから乗り方までレクチャーしてもらえます。送迎ガイドのカズさんが乗馬先に一緒に来てくれて、受付から通訳までしてくれたので大変助かりました。乗り方も送迎中に教えてくれて、全員初めての乗馬でしたがとても楽しめました。英語が全く話せないですが、カズさんがいてくれれば凄く安心です。乗馬先のスタッフはイマイチで、新人さんらしき人だったのか要領が悪い感じでした。チップはスタッフではなく、賢いお馬さんの為に払った感じです。乗馬目的のツアーだったので散策のプランを考えてなく、まったりと過ごしました。
Tips for transportation and horseback riding are paid separately. It's convenient to have a strap that can be worn around your neck for taking photos while riding.
送迎と乗馬のチップは別払いです。乗馬中携帯で写真撮れるので、首にかけられるストラップを付けておくと便利です。
Thank you for participating in the beach horseback riding and North Shore tour with Island Makana Tours. We are glad to hear that you and your children enjoyed it. Also, thank you for your comments about the driver; I will pass them on to Kazu. Horseback riding is a very popular tour with us.

I previously went horseback riding for an hour at Kualoa Ranch, but I enjoyed it so much that this time I signed up for the two-hour course. My butt and the tops of my legs did get sore, but I definitely recommend the two-hour course! You can ride to places you can't reach in the one-hour course, such as areas with cows, spots with beautiful ocean views, and locations that were used for movie filming.
以前にクアロアランチで1時間の乗馬をしましたが、気に入りすぎてしまい今回は2時間コースを申し込みました。お尻と足の付け根は痛くなりますが、やはり2時間コースおすすめです!1時間コースではいかない、牛たちがいる所や海がきれいに見える所や、映画のロケ地になった場所も乗馬できます。
When it's sunny, the sunlight can be very hot, so it's best to take precautions against sunburn!
晴れていると、日差しがとても暑いので日焼け予防はしたほうが良いです!

We went horseback riding as a family of three. It was our first time riding in Hawaii, and I was a bit nervous at first, but the local guide was very friendly and kind. We even found some unexpected common interests and hit it off, becoming friends. The long hours of horseback riding were very valuable, as it's not something we can experience much in Japan, so it was a really great experience and we had a lot of fun!
家族3人で乗馬をしました。ハワイでの乗馬は初めてで最初は少し緊張しましたが、現地のガイドの方がとても気さくで優しく、意外な共通点もあったりして、意気投合しお友達になりました。
長時間の乗馬は、とても貴重で日本ではあまり経験出来ないので、とっても良い経験ができて楽しかったです!
Each horse has its own personality, so you never know what kind of horse you'll be riding—look forward to it!
馬さんは一頭ずつ個性があって、どんな子にに乗るのかわからないので、お楽しみに〜

My wife was worried about the two-hour horseback riding, but she said it was great afterward. It was my first time riding as well, and the staff's support was excellent, making it enjoyable. During the ride, the horse pooped and peed quite dramatically, and we walked among free-range cows, which was an experience you can't have in Japan.

After arriving from Waikiki, I received explanations about luggage and lockers from the Japanese staff and headed to the reception for each activity. The two-hour horseback riding was very fulfilling, as I could see the ocean and passed very close to a herd of cattle. The gentle ups and downs were quite surprising from atop the horse.

It was a pleasant time swaying on a smart polo horse while looking at the magnificent ocean of the North Shore.

It was a wonderful experience to see such magnificent scenery, which you can't find in Japan, from horseback! Since I don't usually exercise, I was worried that two hours might be too long and that my legs would hurt and affect my plans afterward. However, thanks to the stunning views, the well-behaved horses, and the kind instructor, the two hours flew by. I also appreciated that on the day we participated, the pick-up plan included a Japanese staff member who summarized the check-in and explanation for us!
