All Reviews for Horseback Riding Tours

Great and relaxing ride near the ocean. Lovely guide. We would do it again.

Second visit to Kualoa Ranch!
Last time I did horseback riding and a jeep tour, so this time I wanted to enjoy more horseback riding and signed up for a two-hour session!
I took a bus transfer to get to Kualoa Ranch. (You can also go by yourself! It takes about 1.5 hours, so if you have the early tour, it’s risky if you miss the bus.)
We arrived a bit early, so we took photos of the horses and the mountains to make use of our time.
You can store your valuables in a coin locker for $5 (you get $3 back).
After watching a simple Japanese video, it was time for horseback riding!
They seem to select a horse that suits each person.
The horses are very smart and didn’t act up at all.
It might get a bit boring towards the end, but I felt that one hour wasn’t enough, so I was satisfied.
We also saw places used for movie filming, but since the explanations were in English, I couldn’t understand anything at all. We were at the back, so when they explained at the front, we couldn’t hear anything...
There is a guide at the back too, but there weren’t any explanations like that.

They took a photo of me and my friend with my camera (just once though).
By the way, you can buy a photo of yourself on the horse for $15.

Riding through the forest while looking at the sea and mountains was very enjoyable.
Thank you!

二回目のクアロア牧場！
前回は乗馬＋ジープツアーだったので、今回はたっぷり乗馬を楽しみたいと思い、二時間で申込しました！
クアロア牧場へはバスを乗り継ぎ、行きました。（自力でも行けます！！1.5hぐらいかかるので、朝一のツアーだと、バスを逃したら危険です。）
私たちは早めに着いてしまったので、馬の写真や山の写真を撮り、時間を活用していました。
貴重品は5ドルでコインロッカーに預けることが出来ます！（3ドルバックされます）
簡単な日本語のビデオを見て、いざ乗馬！
おそらくその人に合った馬をセレクトされています。
馬もとても賢く、暴れることもありませんでした。
ちょっと後半は飽きるかもしれませんが、1時間では物足りないと感じたので満足です。
映画の撮影に使われた場所なども見ますが、英語での説明につき、まったく理解出来ませんでした。そもそも、私たちは後ろのほうにいたので、先頭で説明されるとまったく聞こえず、、、
後ろにもガイドはいますが、とくにそういった説明はありません。

持参したカメラで友達と写真も撮ってくれました。（一回だけだけど）
ちなみに15ドルで自分が馬に乗った写真を買うことも出来ます。

林の中を進み、海や山を眺めながらの乗馬はとても楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました！

After seeing the tree that inspired Hitachi's "This Tree, What Tree," we followed a course that included the Dole Plantation, horseback riding by the beach, and turtle watching.

Above all, horseback riding was the best! Riding through the lush, jungle-like nature while looking at the ocean was incredible. Although it was a long distance, I could see turtles from the horse as I gazed at the sandy beach. It was very refreshing and made me feel great.

During the "turtle watching," the turtles didn't come up to the sandy beach, but I was able to see them swimming in the water.

However, the driver was a bit chatty. His stories about his past work, which seemed unrelated to the tour (common among retirees), felt like listening to an old employee's tales at an izakaya, which dampened the travel mood. Additionally, when a couple on the bus mentioned they wanted to go to a certain popular tourist spot, the driver made some snide comments after dropping them off, which felt a bit awkward (they wanted to go there, so what's the problem?).

There were some enjoyable recommendations from the guide, and some of the stories were fun to listen to, so it wasn't all bad...

日立の「このー木なんの木」のモデルになった木を見てから、ドールプランテーション→海辺で乗馬→ウミガメを見る　といったコース。
なんといっても、乗馬は最高です！　ジャングルみたいな大自然の中を抜けて、海を見ながら乗馬。距離はありますが、馬上から砂浜を眺めると、ウミガメの姿も見えました。とっても気持ちよくて、かなりリフレッシュできました。

「ウミガメ見物」では、砂浜まではウミガメちゃんは上ってきてはくれませんでしたが、海の中で泳いでいる姿を確認できました。

ただ、ドライバーさんが少々おしゃべり？
観光とはあまり関係のない自慢話（定年の方に多い昔のお仕事自慢系）は、居酒屋でオヤジ社員の話を聞いているようで、せっかくの旅気分がそがれました・・・。その他、バスに乗り合わせていたカップルが、「●●（THE観光名所みたいな店）に行きたい」と行ったら、その店前で下ろした後、「なんでこんなとこ行くかね〜？」的な陰口（？）を、しつこく言っていたのが微妙だったり・・・（その人たちは行きたかったんだから、いいじゃないか・・・）。

ガイドさんならではのオススメスポットに案内していただけたり、お話の中には聞いていて楽しいものも含まれていたので、悪い方ではないのですが・・・。

The ranch and the ride was well worth the trip. My wife and I always try to go riding when we go on vacation. The ranch was easy to find, well organized, safe, and unbelievably gorgeous. Our guide was super nice and informative.

It was my first time riding horses, and I felt scared and worried when I saw so many horses, but my anxiety disappeared once I got on. They were very cute and smart horses that guided me well. I was also impressed by the magnificent scenery! However, two hours might be a bit long. I got a little sleepy along the way.

乗馬は初めてで、沢山の馬を目の当たりにしたとき怖くなり、心配になりましたが乗った時には不安もなくなりました。とても可愛く利口な馬たちで誘導してくれます。壮大な景色にも感激しました〜
ただ、2時間は少し長いかもしれません。途中で眠くなってしまいました。

We participated as four adults, and that experience is something you can't have in Japan!

I've visited Hawaii many times, but why didn't I do this before?

I'll definitely go next time, right?! Yes, I will!

Thank you, mischievous Spark!

大人4人で参加しましたが、あの体験は日本では経験出来ないですね！

ハワイは何度も訪れましたが、なんで今までやらなかったのか？

次回も行くでしょ？！
イヤッ！行くね！

やんちゃなスパーク君ありがとう。

The sightseeing and horseback riding were amazing.
The only downside was that the weather wasn't very good this time.
However, it stopped raining while we were riding.
Also, for the sightseeing, since the pickup location happened to be just one place and there were two groups with a total of five people, we were taken to some unexpected places, which was fantastic.
Thank you very much.

観光と乗馬最高でした。
ただ残念なのは、今回は天気があまり良くなかった事です。
乗馬中は、雨が上がりましたけどね
あと、観光は、ピックアップ場所がたまたま1か所だった事と乗り込んだ人数が2組5名の為、予定外の場所にも連れて行っていただき最高でした。
ありがとうございます。

This was my first experience with horseback riding, and I wanted to try it out. Since I have a visual impairment, I was anxious and nervous right up until just before the experience, even though I had signed up for the tour. The local staff provided explanations in English, but they spoke slowly and clearly, so there were no issues.

After the explanation, we were each assigned a horse, and the horseback riding began. The horses are very intelligent and follow our instructions, slowly trailing behind the horse in front of them. Occasionally, they would stop to eat grass, taking a little detour. The staff were always attentive and offered encouragement, allowing me to enjoy the horseback riding experience with peace of mind. At first, I thought 90 minutes might be long, but it passed in no time.

Next time I go to Hawaii, I would like to try horseback riding by the beach.

乗馬は初めてで体験してみたくて参加しました。
私は視覚に障害があるのでツアーを申し込んだは良いが
体験する直前まで不安と緊張はピークに達してました。
現地のスタッフは英語のみの説明でしたがゆっくりわかりやすく説明して
下さるので問題はありませんでした。

説明を聞いた後はすぐに一人づつ馬が当てがられ乗馬の開始です。
馬はとても利口ですのでこちらの指示を聞いてくれ　前の馬の後ろを
ゆっくりついていってくれます。時々お腹が空いて草を食べたりと
道草をくったりしました。
スタッフの方も常に気を使い声をかけて下さり安心して
乗馬を体験できました。初めは９０分は長いかなぁと思いましたが
あっという間にすぎました。

次回ハワイに行く時は海辺の乗馬を体験してみたいです。

Although the North Shore is a bit far from Honolulu, it's definitely worth a visit if you're staying on Oahu! Unlike the bustling city of Honolulu, you can truly enjoy the atmosphere of a tropical island here.

It was also great to hear stories from our guide, Jimmy, during the tour. I believe having someone who knows the area well makes a significant difference in how much you enjoy a new place.

ホノルル滞在だとやや足が遠いノースショアですが、オアフ島に滞在するならぜひ立ち寄ってみるべきです！都会すぎるホノルルと違い、南の島の雰囲気を存分に味わうことができると思います。
このツアーで案内してくれた、ガイドのジミーさんの車中でのお話を聞けたのもとてもよかったですね。やはり、始めていく地は現地をよく知る人がいるといないとでは楽しみの深さが違うように思います。

I experienced the same tour last time and was captivated by the stunning scenery. I tried it again, and of course, the beauty of the coastline was as amazing as ever. BUT! What was very disappointing was the guide! From start to finish, it felt more like his "opinions" and "bragging" rather than a proper introduction to Hawaii. It was really frustrating. He mentioned that he only works three days a week since retiring, so let's hope we don't get that guide (laughs). Therefore, I gave it ★★★★, but you can definitely experience the most beautiful sea in Hawaii from horseback!

前回同じツアーを体験し、あまりに素晴らしい景色に魅了されました。再度挑戦したのですが当然海岸の素晴らしさは言うまでも有りませんでした。BUT! 非常に残念だったのはガイドさん！最初から最後まで、ハワイの案内というよりは自分の「意見」「自慢話」etc.etc...。ほんとにウンザリでした。リタイヤして週に３日だけ仕事をしていると言っていましたから、そのガイドさんに当たらないことを祈りましょう（笑）したがって★四つになりましたが、ハワイできっと一番美しい海を馬上から体験できますよ！

This time, we participated as a couple again. No matter how many times we visit, Gunstock is the best! We ride outside in the mountains, and when I requested to canter because I love it, they let us do it multiple times in places suitable for cantering. The horses are very well trained, and I was very satisfied.

今回も夫婦ふたりでの参加でした。
何度訪れてもガンストックさんは最高です♪
山の中を外乗するのですが、駈歩大好きだとお願いすると
駈歩できそうな場所では何度もやってくれます。
お馬たちもとても調教されていてとっても満足できました。

We participated as a family of five, including our two high school children. We had previously toured the filming locations by jeep, but this was our first time going on horseback. It was a wonderful experience, feeling the great outdoors on our skin.

高校生の子供ふたりを含む家族５人で参加しました。
以前ジープでロケ地をまわった事がありましたが馬に乗って行くのは
初めてで大自然の風を肌で感じながら素晴らしい体験をしました。

I wanted to go horseback riding, have transportation provided, and also visit tourist spots that are inaccessible without a car, so this tour was perfect for my greedy desires.

On the day I participated, the group was diverse, including solo travelers, couples, families, and repeat visitors.

Starting with the "This tree, what kind of tree is this?" spot, we enjoyed the Dole, Haleiwa tour, famous shrimp shops, sea turtle watching, and horseback riding, all of which were equally enjoyable.

The guides were attentive to the participants' wishes and tried to accommodate them. There was also a communication network among the guides, so if you wanted to see sea turtles, the chances of spotting them were quite high.

If you express your preferences on the way back, they can drop you off at locations within the route.

For those wanting to show turtles to small children, the guides went out of their way to search for turtles at multiple spots, and their service spirit was truly wonderful.

乗馬がしたい、送迎もしてほしい、ついでに
車がないと行けない場所の観光もしたい、と
欲張りな私には最適なツアーでした。

私の参加した日は、参加者も様々で、ひとり、カップル、親子連れ、リピーター、とバラバラでした。

この木なんの木、から始まり、
ドール、ハレイワツアー、有名シュリンプ店、
海亀ウォッチング、乗馬、と
どれもまんべんなく楽しめました。

参加者の希望を丁寧に聞いて答えようとしてくれます。
ガイドさん同士の連絡網もあり、海ガメを見たければかなりの確率で見れるはずです。

帰りも希望を言えば、ルート内の場所なら
おろしてもらえます。

小さいお子さんに亀を見せたいという方のために、
何ヵ所も亀を探してくれたり、ガイドさんのサービス精神が本当にすばらしかったです。

Horseback riding on the beautiful beach was amazing. The horses were participating in a polo match, but they were calm, and I felt safe riding them. I heard there was a polo match on Sunday, and I wanted to go see it if I had the time, but unfortunately, I couldn't. Riding in such beautiful scenery felt refreshing, and I really enjoyed it!

きれいなビーチでの乗馬は最高。ポロ試合に出ている馬たちだったがおとなしく、安心して乗っていられました。日曜日にポロ試合があると言っていたので時間があれば観に行きたかったが、かなわず残念。美しい景色の中での乗馬は心が洗われるようで、楽しかったです♪

I wanted to take my 5-year-old on the Pineapple Train, so I made a reservation. It just runs through the pineapple fields, but my child was satisfied♪ However, the photos are expensive!!! They take a commemorative photo before boarding, and it's $25 for one… I bought it since it's a keepsake, but it's much more expensive than the commemorative photos at the aquarium or during whale watching! But the soft serve ice cream is delicious!!

5歳の子供をパイナップルトレインに乗せてあげたくて予約。ひたすらパイナップル畑を走るだけですが、子供は満足♪ただ、写真が高い!!!乗車前に記念撮影してくれるのですが、1枚＄25…一応記念なので買いましたが、水族館、ホエールウォッチングの記念撮影よりもずっと割高！でも、ソフトクリームは美味い!!

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.

オアフに行くといつもお世話になるガンストックさん♪
いつもは夫婦ふたりでが多かったのですが今回は他の外国の方も一緒でした。
６人一緒だったので駈歩(キャンター）はしないかな・・・って諦めていましたが、期待を裏切りません。楽しく駈歩できて満足満足でした。

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.

Yassi our guide was excellent and so much fun, this was a gift from my friend Kathy for my 50th birthday! I've always wanted to do a horseback ride on the beach, & San Diego really didn't have any options, so when we planned our trip to Oahu we had to do this! 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.

ドールでパイナップル列車に乗りたいと思い、このプランなら必ず乗れるので申込みました。期待通りに、着いてから早速乗れて、その後にパイナップルアイスを食べました。おみやげはちょっと見る時間が少なくなりましたが、ほぼ満足です。ハレイワは昼食をどこのお店で食べるかちょっと迷いました。おすすめの店を調べて行くといいです。ラ二カイビーチでは、かめも観れてラッキーでした。とても楽しかったです。

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。
（ネットで申し込みの際は、電話番号もなく、操作などに不安がありましたが、申し込みをすれば、印刷するバウチャーがメールで届き、そこに催行会社の電話番号も書いてあり安心して参加できました。）
ガイドさんのお話は、ためになることがいっぱいで、そうだなぁ！って気づかされることも沢山ありました。
ドールプランテーション、人気のマッキーズのシュリンプ・・・ハワイのローカルを満喫できました。
過去に来た2度のハワイの旅ではワイキキビーチとショッピングだけでしたが、他の地域にもハワイの魅力がいっぱいです！
ガイドさん、ありがとうございました。

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..
