A packed tour!
I was lucky enough to encounter a honu basking on the North Shore.
After that, I went horseback riding in the canyon for the first time!
All the horses were adorable and very smart.
I had the best time enjoying horseback riding while soaking in the forest atmosphere.
Then, I was driven to Macky's, which is quite far to walk, for my long-awaited garlic shrimp! I was so hungry from horseback riding that it wasn't enough.
I want to go horseback riding in the canyon again!
盛りだくさんのツアー!
タイミング良く、ノースショアで甲羅干ししているホヌさんに出会えました。
その後、初めての渓谷乗馬!
お馬さんはみんな可愛くて、お利口さんでした。
森林浴を楽しみながら、たっぷり乗馬を楽しめて、最高の時間を過ごせました。
そして、歩くには遠いマッキーズまで送っていただいて、念願のガーリックシュリンプ!乗馬でお腹が空いていたのもあり、足りないくらいでした。
また、渓谷乗馬やりたいなぁ〜。

My daughter and I only had two days in Hawaii and I am so glad that two hours of it was riding at Kualoa Ranch. It was a wonderful way to see the beautiful scenery of the island and learn some interesting history of the area. The horses were great even in the windy weather and our guides friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

We participated as a family of four. Although there were four adults, it was everyone's first experience walking along the beach on horseback, and we all got really excited. The instructor was also kind and spoke to us in English. Each horse had its own personality, and there were some unexpected moments, like when a horse wouldn't move, but it was a very enjoyable activity that allowed us to connect with living creatures. When we go to Hawaii again, we definitely want to do this!
家族4人で参加しました。
大人4人でしたが、海辺を馬に乗りながら歩くのは初めての体験で全員がはしゃいでしまいました。インストラクターのお姉さんも優しく英語で話しかけてくれました。
馬によって性格も様々で、馬がなかなか進まないなどハプニングもありましたが、生き物との触れ合いならではのアクティビティでとても楽しめました。
またハワイに行くときは、絶対にやりたいです!!

I always rely on Gunstock when I go to Oahu. Usually, it's just my husband and me, but this time we were with other foreign guests. Since there were six of us, I thought we wouldn't be able to canter, but my expectations were exceeded. We had a great time cantering, and I was very satisfied.

It was my first experience riding horses, and I was able to participate very enjoyably. On the way to the North Shore, I was also able to stop by the Dole Plantation, which made me very satisfied. I had heard that the two places mentioned above are difficult to reach without renting a car, so I’m really glad I joined this tour. If I could wish for anything, it would be that the sightseeing time was a bit longer. I was satisfied to stop by a famous garlic shrimp restaurant for lunch. The horseback riding was at the Turtle Bay Hotel's riding club, and it was very satisfying. The scenery by the sea was beautiful, and it felt great to walk a bit through the forest as well. I think this is a tour that even small children can participate in with peace of mind.
乗馬初体験でしたが、とても楽しく参加することが出来ました。
ノースショアに行く途中、この木なんの木、ドールプランテーションも寄ることが出来、満足です。上記の2つはレンタカーなどを借りないと行くのが難しいと聞いていたので、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。
欲を言えばもう少し観光の時間が長ければ良かったな。
お昼ご飯は有名なガーリックシュリンプのお店に立ち寄ってもらえて満足でした。
乗馬はタートルベイホテルの乗馬クラブでの参加で、非常に満足できるものでした。
海辺で景色もよく、それでいて少し森の中も歩く感じだったので非常に気持ちよかったです。
小さい子も安心して参加できるツアーだと思います。

Trail riding for the perfect amount of time. The horses were magnificent athletes and very well mannered. More trail than beach. We could have done without the trailblazing through prickers. We could see the ocean the whole time though and saw whales breaching in the distance.

This is my second time participating. My first experience was riding a horse. The horses at Kualoa are very gentle, and since the ride is slow, it wasn't as scary as I had thought. I was so impressed by the magnificent scenery of the Kualoa mountains that I decided to try again. Last time, I took the two-hour course starting at 3:30 PM, and this time I chose the two-hour course starting at 11:45 AM.
I felt that the course starting at noon had less space for moving around the ranch and a shorter riding time compared to last time. I was wondering, "Did we go to that place last time? Are we turning back here?" The staff was also quiet and didn't engage in much conversation, which made communication minimal. Last time, there were mostly Western students, so it was a cheerful and very enjoyable ride. This time, there were mostly Japanese people, including families and elderly individuals, which might have influenced the staff's approach, but it was quite disappointing. The scenery is truly amazing. I recommend Kualoa for those who are riding horses for the first time.
今回で2回目の参加です。前回乗馬初体験でした。クアロアの馬はとても大人しいですし、ゆっくりライドするので、思っていたほど怖くなかったです。クアロアの山々の雄大な景色に感動したので、再挑戦しました。前回は2時間コースの最終回15:30からのコース、今回は2時間コースの11:45からのコースにしました。
今回のお昼スタートのコースは前回に比べ、牧場内の移動が狭く乗馬時間が短いと感じました。前回はあそこの場所まで行ったよね?ここで引き返すの?と・・・。スタッフも無口でおしゃべりもせず、あまりコミニケーション取ってきませんでした。前回は欧米人の学生達ばかりだったので、陽気でとても楽しいライドだったのですが。今回は日本人ばかりで家族連れやご年配の方が多かったので、そのような対応になったのかもしれませんが、とても残念でした。景色は本当に最高です。初めての乗馬される方はクアロアをおすすめします。

My girlfriend and I had such a wonderful time here at Kualoa Ranch. The horses were very well trained, tamed, and talented. This was our first time getting up on horses, and man I looked like Zorro. My girlfriend has such a strong, muscular, and smart horse, and luckily for here his name was Romeo. My horse was named Shay and he was just like me, always hungry. He stopped every ten minutes to eat grass, but I had to let him do it secretively. We had great views of the ocean and the mountain range of Kualoa Ranch, however getting pictures will be hard because you will need to make sure you are 100% focused and attentive of your horse and for your own personal safety. Our guide was great and she even took a couple pictures for me before our tour started. We had an excellent time and would recommend this to anyone.

We googled horse back riding on the beach & picked this one immediately. The ride was relaxing and so pretty, we rode polo ponies and they were beautiful and matched perfectly with us, mine was named Chaser! can't wait to come back & do it again! Aloha & Mahalo

I finally had the long-awaited horseback riding experience. Our guide, Jimmy, was very entertaining, and I enjoyed the ride without getting bored. The itinerary included the tree, Doll Plantation, Haleiwa Town, and horseback riding, but we only stayed at the first two places for about 15 minutes each, and I think we spent around 40 minutes in Haleiwa.
I was a bit anxious about the traffic along the way, worrying that our riding time would be cut short... I thought it might have been fine to skip one of the first three stops.
We managed to arrive safely and met the horses. Inside the van, Jimmy gave us a quick lesson on handling the reins, so we started riding right away! The horses were well-trained, and it was mostly just about enjoying the ride. However, there were some mischievous ones that would wander off to eat grass (I experienced that too). Staff members walked alongside us, giving instructions (like "right" or "loosen up").
We were able to relax by the seaside, in the forest, and back by the sea. The garlic shrimp for lunch at Macky's, which Jimmy recommended, was really delicious.
念願の乗馬体験してきました。
ガイドのジミーさんがとっても面白く、移動中もあきることなく楽しめました。この木なんのき~ドールプランテーション~ハレイワタウン~乗馬と盛り込んでありますが、最初の2か所は15分程度トイレ休憩ぐらいの滞在時間、ハレイワで40分ぐらいだったかな。
途中で渋滞があって乗馬時間が削られるんじゃないかとハラハラ… これなら最初の3か所どれかなくてもいいんじゃないかと思いました。
なんとか無事に到着し、お馬さんとご対面。
社内でジミーさんに、手綱さばきをレクチャーしてもらってるのですぐに乗馬スタート!よくできたお馬さん達でほとんど乗ってるだけでOKです。 ただ横道それて草をたべるやんちゃさんもいます(私もやられました)前後にスタッフが追歩してくれますので、指示してくれます(みぎ~とかゆるめる~とか)
海辺~森~海辺とのんびりできました。
ランチのガーリックシュリンプもジミーさんおすすめのマッキーズはとっても美味しかったです。

I wanted to ride the pineapple train at Dole, so I signed up for this plan, which guaranteed that I could ride it. As expected, I was able to ride it right after arriving, and then I had pineapple ice cream. I had a little less time to look at souvenirs, but I was mostly satisfied. In Haleiwa, I was a bit unsure about where to have lunch. It's a good idea to research recommended places before you go. At Lanikai Beach, I was lucky to see a turtle. It was a lot of fun.

I went horseback riding in the canyon. I was thrilled to ride the same horses that former President Obama and his Secret Service agents rode. Along the way, I enjoyed seeing the Hitachi trees, the Dole plantation, and turtles on the sandy beach.
However, while we were on the canyon horseback ride, others were on different horseback rides or taking walks, which meant we were on a shared vehicle and felt rushed, so it was a pity we couldn't take our time.
渓谷乗馬に行って来ました。かのオバマ大統領やSP達が乗った馬に乗ることができ、気分も上々でした。また道中、日立の木やドール農園、砂浜の亀など見ることができ楽しむことが出来ました。
ただ、自分たちは渓谷乗馬でしたが他の方は別の乗馬や散策などで乗り合い車だったので、時間に追われゆっくりとすることが出来なかったのが惜しかったです。

We both are experience riders so it was a little tame for us. All you do is get to walk the horses. But it was a beautiful relaxing ride. You dont get to ride right on the beach, but more on the edge of the sand duns and through a field of flowers. Our guide was excellent and the horses are very well trained and friendly. They do show you a brief demonstration on how to guide your horse with the reins as they are polo ponies and not your traditional western horses. And as a safety precaution every one wears a helmet. Overall, it was a nice ride.

This time, my husband couldn't join due to work, so I took our two sons by myself. It was my first time booking an optional tour online, and I was quite nervous, but I had no worries at all. Our guide was wonderful, and we truly had a fun day.
When I booked online, I was anxious because there was no phone number provided, but once I completed the reservation, I received a printed voucher via email that included the tour company's phone number, which made me feel secure about participating.
The guide shared a lot of valuable information, and there were many moments that made me think, "Oh, that's true!" We enjoyed the Dole Plantation and the popular Macky's shrimp, fully experiencing the local flavor of Hawaii.
During my previous two trips to Hawaii, I only visited Waikiki Beach and did some shopping, but there are so many attractions in other areas of Hawaii! Thank you, guide!
今回、主人は仕事で来られず、私が一人で息子2人を連れ、また、ネットからのオプショナルツアーが初めてで、ドキドキでしたが、何の心配もなく、素晴らしいガイドさんで、本当に楽しい一日を過ごさせていただきました。

The 1 hr was not what I expected.. we barely got on the horses and came back.. at most we have been 20-25 min on the horse. Then we took the 2 hr ride which was quite different and definitely worth it!
They said that the time it takes to get us on the horses is included in this "x hour" ride which it doesn't seem fair to me.. for a large group (12-15 people) it does take 15-20 min to get us all on the horses and get started.. so 25 min left for riding for the 1 hr ride(??).. hmm.. kind of expensive ride..

Of course, the main focus is horseback riding, but we really do a lot of different activities. It's packed with experiences. We visited the Hitachi Tree, Dole Plantation, saw the honu at North Shore, enjoyed lunch (everyone's favorite, garlic shrimp♪), and then horseback riding. To top it off, our guide kindly recommended a coffee shop!
We were blessed with wonderful weather that day, making it truly a fantastic day.
I am really a beginner at horseback riding; the only experience I have is riding a pony for about five minutes when I was a child. Despite that, this time I suddenly found myself riding a polo horse! Moreover, Happy Trails is a prestigious ranch that even President Obama has visited! It made me think, "Maybe the horse I rode was the same one President Obama rode!" (It was a small mare, so it definitely wasn't, but it made me smile.)
I asked a Japanese couple who joined the same tour (they were quite experienced in horseback riding) and they said, "It's rare to ride a polo horse in Japan, so you can brag about this!" It was truly a valuable experience.
However! As a complete beginner, we started riding for an hour and a half with only verbal instructions! Plus, the path was muddy from the rain the day before... I really thought I might fall off! My friend and I were super nervous, but the polo horses were amazing, following our clumsy commands perfectly for the full hour and a half. Thank you, horses.
The staff at the ranch were also really friendly and it was a lot of fun. Next time, I'm interested in beach horseback riding, but I can't help but think that Happy Trails is still the best!

この日は、お天気にも恵まれ本当に素晴らしい1日でした。
乗馬は本当に初心者、子供の時に一度ポニーに5分くらい乗ったことぐらいしかありません。
それなのに、今回はいきなりポロの馬を乗ることに!その上、ハッピートレイルはなんとあのオバマ大統領も来たことがあるという由諸正しい牧場!もしかしたら、私の乗った馬がオバマ大統領の乗った馬かも!!!(小さい牝馬だったので、絶対に違うけど)と思わせてくれます。笑
同じツアーに参加された日本人の御夫婦(こちらの方は乗馬に精通していらっしゃいました)に伺ったところ、「日本でポロの馬に乗れることなど滅多にないから自慢できるよ!」のことで本当に貴重な体験でした。
が!まったくの初心者なのに口頭での説明のみで、いきなり1時間半の乗馬スタート!笑
その上、前日の雨で道はぐちゃぐちゃ・・・落馬するんじゃないか?!と本当に思いました。
私も友人もめっちゃくちゃ焦りましたが、さすがポロのお馬さん、私達のつたない指示にもきちんと従い、1時間半きっちり乗せてくれました。ありがとう、お馬さん。
牧場の方も本当にフレンドリーで楽しかったです。
次回は、ビーチの乗馬にも興味ありますが、やっぱりハッピートレイルが良いなあなんて、思ってしまいます。

I participated in this tour with my mother. We were looking forward to horseback riding and garlic shrimp in Haleiwa Town. We visited the "This Tree, What Tree" Moanalua Gardens and Dole Plantation, and then had free time in Haleiwa Town, which we were excited about. I had heard that there were frozen garlic shrimp, but I really wanted to try the fresh garlic shrimp. After researching beforehand, I found that Giovanni's or Macky's looked delicious, so I asked the tour guide which one to choose, and it turns out only Macky's has fresh shrimp, so I was glad I asked! It was very delicious! Macky's is located a bit far from the meeting point, and since we only had an hour of free time, I thought we might just have time for lunch, but everyone wanted to go to Macky's, so they kindly took us there. I was happy they were flexible in accommodating us. After eating, they took us back to the meeting point, and we were able to stroll around Haleiwa Town a little. However, I think if we had a bit more time, we could have visited more shops.
The seaside horseback riding was very enjoyable with a nice breeze. The tour guide provided proper English explanations for the horseback riding, so I was able to experience it without any worries. There was a short steep slope along the way that was a bit scary when we had to trot, but as long as you hold on properly, there were no problems. My 59-year-old mother was a little anxious during her second horseback ride, but I think she enjoyed it.
At the very end of the horseback riding, it suddenly started to rain heavily, which made the final photo opportunity and farewell to the horses a bit rushed, which was unfortunate. But the horseback riding was fun and very satisfying. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't stop at the sea turtle beach due to the heavy rain.
The tour guide provided detailed explanations and shared various stories, so the travel was never boring. The views from the North Shore were amazing! Participating in this tour created wonderful memories of Hawaii!
母と二人で参加しました。
乗馬とハレイワタウンでのガーリックシュリンプを楽しみにこのツアーに参加しました。
この木なんの木のモアナルアガーデン、ドールプランテーションに寄り、楽しみにしていたハレイワタウンでの自由時間です。冷凍エビのガーリックシュリンプもあると聞いていたので、是非生のエビのガーリックシュリンプが食べたいと思っていました。事前に調べていったところ、ジョバンニかマッキーズが美味しそうだったので、どちらにしようか添乗員さんに聞いたところマッキーズだけ生のエビらしいので、聞いてよかった~!です。とっても美味しくいただけました!マッキーズは集合場所から離れたところにあるので、自由時間は一時間なので昼食だけで終わっちゃうかなと思っていましたが、参加者全員マッキーズに行きたいとのことで、そこまで送っていただけました。臨機応変に対応して下さってうれしかったです。食後にはまた集合場所まで連れて行ってくれて、ハレイワタウンを少し散策できました。でももう少し時間があったらもっといろんなお店にいけたかなと思います。
海辺乗馬は風が気持ちよくとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
英語での乗馬の説明も添乗員さんがちゃんと通訳してくれて何の不安もなく体験できました。
途中急な短い坂道が一か所あるのですが、小走りになってちょっと怖いところがありますが、ちゃんと摑まっていれば何の問題ありませんでした。二回目の乗馬で59歳の母が少し不安がっていましたが、楽しめていたと思います。
乗馬の最後の最後に強めの雨が急に降ってきて、最後の記念撮影や、馬とのお別れがささっとなってしまったのが残念でした。でも乗馬は楽しく大満足です。
その後のウミガメのビーチには大雨で寄ることができなかったのは少し残念です。
添乗員さんは詳しい説明や、色々な話をしてくださり、移動は退屈することはありませんでした。ノースショアの車窓からの景色は最高でした!

Famous from the commercials, we headed to Moanalua Garden and then to Dole Plantation. I was looking forward to lunch, enjoying garlic shrimp with flavors that appeal to Japanese tastes. One of the highlights this time was horseback riding along the beach at Turtle Bay Resort. While watching people surfing, I enjoyed a leisurely ride, listening to the chirping of birds in the forest—such a blissful time. We also encountered a large sea turtle at Laniakea Beach (we stayed within 3 meters of the turtle). It was a tour that made me feel the greatness of nature. Our guide was also fun and full of interesting topics, leaving no time for family squabbles.

Since my child loves animals, we decided to go horseback riding as a family. Based on reviews mentioning the beautiful scenery, we chose the horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch.
We were a bit anxious since we had to gather at the ranch individually, but fortunately, we passed by the ranch on a sightseeing bus we took the day before. Our family rented a car to get there, but it seemed like some people arrived by bus.
In March, the weather in Hawaii can be unpredictable, and it turned out that we rode in heavy rain that morning. Luckily, it cleared up in the afternoon, and the scenery became even more magical. As we swayed on the horse's back in the vast ranch, which has been used for many movie shoots, I felt like I could forget where I was.
Perhaps because the ranch staff had worked in the rain that morning, some of them had a slightly arrogant attitude from a Japanese perspective, but most were kind and helpful. However, I think it would be beneficial to be somewhat accustomed to listening to English. The height of the horse's back was higher than I imagined, and it might be a bit challenging to control the horse while listening to English instructions.
子供が動物大好きなので家族で乗馬をすることにしました。景色がきれいというクチコミから、クアロア牧場の乗馬体験に決めました。
牧場までは各自で集合なので不安だったのですが、たまたま前日参加した島内観光バスで牧場の前を通ったので良かったです。私たち家族はレンタカーを借りて行きましたが、バスで来ている人もいるようでした。
3月のハワイは天気については運次第なので、この日の午前中は土砂降りの雨の中を乗馬したそうです。幸い午後は曇りとなり、むしろ一層景色が幻想的になり、たくさんの映画のロケに使われているという広大な牧場の中を馬の背中に揺られていると、自分が一体どこにいるのか忘れてしまいそうな錯覚に陥りました。
牧場の人々は午前中に雨の中で仕事をしたせいか、日本人の感覚からするとちょっと横柄な態度の人もいましたが、大部分の人は親切に教えてくれました。ただ、ある程度英語のリスニングに慣れていた方がいいかと思いました。馬の背中は想像以上に高く、英語の指示を聞きながら馬を操るのは少し難しいかもしれないです。

ガイドさんが車中いろんな体験談や説明をしてくれて移動中も楽しかったです。
乗馬は初めてでかなり緊張したけど、インストラクターが付いてくれたし、馬も大人しくて思ってたより大丈夫でした☆景色も海沿いを歩いてとてもキレイだったけど、景色をみる余裕があまりなかったので、今度はもっと景色を楽しみたいと思います(^^)

My girlfriend and I had an enjoyable ride through Kualoa Ranch on 12/30/13. Our guides were Kai and Karissa ( I believe I got the names right). The terrain in which you ride through is beautiful, it takes your breath away. We learned the history of the ranch and about what has taken place there over the years. Would definitely recommend this to anyone!!

Last time, we participated in a horseback riding tour in the forest with my child, and we were very satisfied. This time, during the horseback riding experience by the beach, we enjoyed riding while gazing at the beautiful sea. We created another wonderful memory. Before the experience, we leisurely enjoyed a garlic shrimp bento for lunch and took a little stroll around the town of Haleiwa, making for a very fulfilling day. I would love to participate in this tour again.
前回は親子で森の中を乗馬するツアーに参加せて頂きましたが、その時も大満足
でしたが、今回は海辺での乗馬体験のツアーでは、綺麗な海を眺めながら、乗馬を楽しむ事が出来ました。
また最高の思い出が出来ました。体験の前にはランチでガーリックシュリンプのお弁当をのんびり食べたり、ハレイワの町を少し散策したり、とっても充実した内容でした。またこのツアーに参加させて頂きたいと思います。

My 15 year daughter wanted to ride a horse for the first time in Hawaii on the beach. Our experience here was fantastic! Our tour guide was patient and very willing to teach her how to ride. The scenery was beautiful!! I would highly recommend this trip!

Haleiwa doesn't offer much in terms of shopping or sightseeing, so without activities, there's not much to do. That's why our guide, who also drove, took us to Turtle Bay. I think the free time plan is for those who want to relax a bit.
ハレイワはショッピングや観光で時間は潰れないので、アクティビティなしだと何もやることがないです。それで、案内と運転の兼任の方がタートルベイまで連れて行ってくださいました。
フリータイムプランはちょっとのんびりしたい方向けだと思います。

This was my second time on the Gunstock. This time, it was a sunset horseback riding tour in the evening. The course was the same as usual, but thanks to the beautiful weather, we enjoyed stunning views of the sea and the sunset. It was truly moving. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to run more, as we mostly walked at a steady pace. That was the only disappointment.
2度目のガンストック。今回はサンセット乗馬ということで夕方のツアーです。
コースは通常のと同じでしたが、天気に恵まれたおかげで美しい海と夕日。
感動でした。
欲を言えばもっと走りたかったなあ。基本ずっと並足だったので。
そこだけが残念。

My husband and I enjoy horseback riding, and we are currently enjoying British-style riding in Japan. Therefore, we approached the challenge of Western-style riding with some confidence. Horses from any country are adorable and soothing. The horses in Hawaii were very gentle and resilient. The two-hour course provided a sufficient horseback riding experience. It was surprising to think that someone with no riding experience could manage such a long ride. Even we were shaking by the time we finished. We plan to go to Hawaii again next spring, and I would like our children to experience it as well.
私たち夫婦の趣味は乗馬で今も日本ではブリティッシュスタイルの乗馬を楽しんでいます。ですので乗馬には多少の自信をもってウェスタンスタイルにチャレンジでした。
何処の国の馬も可愛く癒されます。ハワイの馬は大変大人しく健気な馬たちでした。
2時間のコースは十分な乗馬体験になりました。逆に乗馬経験の無い方があれだけの長時間の乗馬が出来るのか不思議なくらいでした。我々ですら終わった時には膝がガクガクするぐらいでしたから。また今度の春にはハワイに行くので今度は我が子供たちにも体験させてやりたいです。
