It was my honeymoon.
When I think of Hawaii, I had the image of the ocean, but the natural beauty of Kualoa impressed me more than anywhere else. I rode a buggy around various filming locations, including the site of Jurassic Park, and they even provided time for photos at each spot, which made for truly wonderful memories.
I was nervous during the initial practice time because I wasn't good at driving the buggy and worried I might be dropped off, but I managed to get through it.
I highly recommend seeing the scenery of Kualoa at least once in your life.
ハネムーンでした。
ハワイといえば海というイメージがありましたが、クアロアの大自然がどこよりも感動しました。ジュラシックパークの撮影場所をはじめ、いろいろな映画の撮影場所をバギーに乗りながらまわったり、各スポットで写真撮影の時間も設けてくれたので本当に良い思いでになりました。
バギーの運転が私は下手で、降ろされるんじゃないかと最初の練習時間にヒヤヒヤしましたが、なんとか大丈夫でした。
クアロアの景色は人生一度は見ていただきたいと思うほどおすすめです。

The day before our wedding in Hawaii, I went with my family and friends, a total of four people. Since there was no shuttle service to the location, I opted for a car charter, which ended up costing 63,000 yen for two hours of horseback riding and four hours of car rental. I covered the entire cost, so I felt it was a bit expensive.
I chose the two-hour ride because we could see the filming location of Jurassic Park, but honestly, sitting on a horse for two hours was tough on my backside. It was breathtaking to take in the ocean views and the mountains of Hawaii slowly, but two hours felt a bit long... It was fun when they took pictures for us and let the horses run a bit. Just be careful of sunburn since you’ll be in the sun the whole time!
ハワイでの挙式前日に家族+友人と4人でいきました。
現地までの送迎がないため、車チャーターのオプショナルを申込み結果、乗馬2時間+車貸切4時間で6万3千円かかりました。私が全額負担をしたのでちょっと高額だったなと思います。
ジュラシックパークの撮影現場が観れるという事で2時間にしましたが、2時間馬にすわりっぱなしは正直オシリが痛くなります。海を一望したりハワイの山々をゆっくり見れたのは感動的でしたが、2時間はちょっと長かったかな・・・。途中写真を撮ってくれたり、馬を走らせてくれたのは楽しかった。ずっと日向にいるので日焼けには注意!

The cute cowgirls guided us through nature♪ After watching the video, it seemed like the two-hour course was not suitable for those who can't speak English, so there were no Japanese people♪ We were told not to let the horses eat grass, not to run, and not to overtake!! But clearly, our horse was eyeing the grass and trying to eat it, again and again... The girls kept saying "Don't let them eat" in Japanese, but why just that in Japanese!? They were trying to warn us, but the horse wouldn't listen~ However, the silly ones were so cute, and we had a great time♪

It was almost my first experience with horseback riding, but I booked a two-hour course and went for it. There were many other courses that seemed geared towards Japanese people, but we were the only Japanese in the two-hour course. We watched a simple Japanese-language guide video on how to ride a horse. The local guides, who could speak a certain level of English, engaged us in enjoyable conversations and kindly explained the locations used in movies other than Jurassic Park. The horses seemed to have individual differences; some were calm and moved steadily, while others veered off the path or got a bit restless, which made for some tense moments. Given the heat, the two hours felt longer than I expected, but overall, it was a great experience where I could fully enjoy the wonderful nature.
乗馬経験はほぼ初めてでしたが、2時間コースを予約して行ってきました。その他のコースは日本人の方向けといった感じで沢山いましたが、2時間コースのみは日本人は私たちだけでした。馬の乗り方などは簡単な日本語のガイドVTRを観ます。引率してくれる現地のお姉さん達は、ある程度英語が出来れば楽しく会話をしてくれ、ジュラシック・パーク以外の映画で使われた箇所など丁寧に教えてくれます。馬は、個体差があるようで大人しく進む馬もいれば、脇道にそれてしまったり、ちょっと暴れ出してしまったりと、ハラハラする場面もありました。暑さもあったので、2時間は思ってたよりなが~く感じましたが、素晴らしい自然を満喫でき総合的良かったです。
Thank you for visiting, Mochiko.

The quality of optional tours depends on "the weather and the guide." I was blessed with wonderful weather (Hawaiian blue = a clear blue sky) and the best guide, allowing me to spend a blissful time.
First, at the majestic Moanalua Gardens, I had the blooming monkey pod tree (the tree from Hitachi's advertisement) all to myself.
At the Dole Plantation, while others were waiting in long lines, I enjoyed VIP treatment thanks to my prior reservation and the familiar face of my guide, allowing me to bypass the queue and board immediately. After boarding, I had time for a stroll, shopping, and a light meal.
In Haleiwa Town, the experienced guide truly showcased their skills! They meticulously calculated the timing and route, leisurely navigating just before the busy hours. I was able to enjoy delicious shrimp from Mackey's, acai bowls from Lanikai Juice, and shave ice from Matsumoto without any wait, entering the shops while others were lined up outside. I managed to conquer all my goals with plenty of time to spare.
The 90-minute exploration of Haleiwa was divided into three 30-minute segments, allowing us to visit all the key spots without a long walk. I appreciated the thoughtful care of the veteran guide!
By slightly shifting away from the crowded beach where people were gathering around sea turtles, I was able to encounter sea turtles on a deserted beach.
Everything went so smoothly that I had extra time… The unexpected bonus tour to the soap factory, which became famous in Japan through the TV show "Moyamoya Summers," was excellent. They really know how to connect with Japanese TV programs—truly professional and experienced.
I was also given a handmade map of Haleiwa Town that included shop names and restrooms not found on commercial maps. Since I have difficulty walking, my guide brought a lightweight folding chair from home so I could take breaks while exploring. I felt a family-like hospitality in their meticulous care, which deeply impressed me.
Finally, I sincerely thank VELTRA, the operating company Island Makana, and my guide Yamada! Thank you for the best experience in Oahu (North Shore)! Next time I visit Hawaii, I will choose optional tours through VELTRA and confidently recommend them to my friends and acquaintances visiting Hawaii!

I experienced horseback riding for two hours.
I was a bit anxious since it was my first time riding, but the guide chose a well-behaved horse named Mercury for me. The female guide also spoke to me in broken Japanese and took care of me, which quickly eased my worries, and I was able to create wonderful memories in the great nature of Hawaii.
We leisurely rode along with the horse's pace for two hours, visiting filming locations like Jurassic Park in the valley. It was a great decision to choose horseback riding for two hours, as I was able to feel and reflect on many things with my whole body and senses, rather than just rushing through by bus.
The scenery was amazing, and it was interesting to see that each horse had its own unique personality.
For those who have never experienced horseback riding or haven't tried it in Hawaii, I highly recommend giving it a try.

初めての乗馬体験で少し不安でしたが、ガイドさんが相棒に選んでくれたマーキュリーは概ね行儀が良く、ガイドの女性も片言の日本語で話しかけてケアしてくれるので、すぐに不安も吹き飛び、ハワイの大自然の中で素晴らしい思い出ができました。
2時間ゆっくりした馬の歩みに合わせて、渓谷内にあるジュラシックパークなどのロケ地を巡りましたが、バスでザッと巡るよりも体全体、五感で色んなことを感じ、思いを巡らすことができて、2時間乗馬を選んで正解でした。
景色も素晴らしいですが、馬にもそれぞれ色んな個性があるようで、面白かったです。

While the scenery was excellent and the tour guides very hospitable, it was hard to call this a horseback "riding" tour. We walked the horses on a predefined trail, and while I understand the owner's concerns about the health of his/her animals and the variable level of riding experience of the participants, there should have been a chance to run, gallop, or at least trot on the animals to call it riding.
Aloha, Thank you for your feedback. Due to our strick insurance policy we cannot allow riders to trot or canter on the beach/trail. We do offer an advanced ride for our clients with previous riding experience that are looking to trot and canter on our polo field after the trail ride. I'm sorry if your expectations were not met, we are a small family run business that strives to provide a unique and memorable experience for all of our clients. We hope that you will keep us in mind for future rides.
Again many thanks for your time and business.

My first time at Kualoa Ranch!! We chose the four-wheeler activity at my husband's request.
I’m confident in driving, so we set off from Waikiki early in a relaxed manner, hoping it wouldn’t rain despite the ominous clouds. We arrived at the meeting point before the 8:45 AM start time.
The restaurant next to the shop offered breakfast, and we were able to have a light meal with coffee and muffins.
Now, onto the four-wheeler! After watching the explanation video in Japanese, I learned that if you fail the test… you’ll be denied boarding… and instead… have to ride in the truck to observe… oh no!
Feeling nervous, I straddled the vehicle and pressed the accelerator with my thumb, but it required more grip strength than I expected. Plus, the steering was heavy… I had no room to spare… The instructor in front was taking the curves smoothly, so I had to desperately follow about 2 meters behind.
There were three other people with us, all foreigners, who seemed to handle it just fine. I managed to pass the test, but at one point, a foreign mother dropped out, proving that grip strength is indeed quite necessary.
However, as I gradually got used to it, I started to enjoy the breathtaking views, feeling like I was part of a movie scene. It rained partway through, but it felt refreshing, and splashing through puddles and bumpy roads became fun.
The two hours flew by. I’m really happy with the experience. I recommend enjoying the full two hours rather than just one!
初めてのクワロアランチ!! 数あるアクティビティから四輪バギーを選んだのは、旦那さまのリクエストでした。
車の運転には自信があるので、気楽な感じで早朝ワイキキを出発、怪しい雲行きで雨が降ったらやだなぁ~と思いつつ、現地には集合時間の8時45分前には到着出来ました。
売店隣りのレストランでは、朝食の用意もあり、コーヒーとマフィンで軽く腹ごしらえも出来ました。
いざ、四輪バギーへ♪日本語のビデオで説明を聞いてみると、テストに落ちたら…乗車拒否…しかも…トラックに乗って見学…ガーン
緊張の中、またがってアクセルを親指で押すのですが、思った以上に握力がいるのです。
しかも、ハンドルの重いこと…余裕なんて全くありません…目の前のインストラクターはカーブをキュルキュル切るので、必死に2m後をついていかなければいけないのです。
私達以外は3名、外人さんで、へっちゃらそうでした。なんとかテストをクリア出来たのですが…途中、外人のお母さんが脱落するなど、やっぱり握力がかなり必要なをです。
でも、次第に慣れてくると、大絶景も見れるようになり、まるで映画のワンシーンに溶け込んだみたいでした。雨が途中で降ったりしましたが、それが気持ち良くて、水溜まりのダイブや凸凹道も面白くなってきます。
2時間も、あっと言う間でした。いい体験が出来たと喜んでいます。
1時間より、2時間満喫される事をおすすめします~

I have been to Hawaii over a dozen times and have been to Haleiwa and Giovanni's. This time, I didn't rent a car, so I joined a tour. My main goal was horseback riding, but I was also looking forward to shopping and dining in Haleiwa.
The driver seemed to be a veteran, and while you could say he was experienced, I felt like he didn't understand the excitement we had for participating in the tour. For example, when I requested Giovanni's, he repeatedly said, "It was featured on TV," and everyone else went to Macky's. I also got the impression that he somewhat dismissed Matsumoto Shave Ice, and we ended up going there just the two of us.
We were able to see sea turtles at the first beach we visited, but due to the reason that we couldn't stop the car, we were told to "return to the car right after taking photos."
Horseback riding was very enjoyable and became a great memory.

I decided to come here because I heard it's the only place on Oahu where you can trot and canter. The sensation of running through the vast nature, feeling the wind while cantering, is just amazing!
I climbed a mountain and was able to see the beach from the top. The scenery is just beautiful!
Although only English is spoken, I think as long as you understand the terms for trot and canter, you can manage while riding. They also have helmet rentals, and you can easily go with just jeans and sneakers.
The location was a bit far from Waikiki, so I took a taxi. It took about an hour and a half one way, and the fare was around $130. It felt great to drive along the coastal highway. I think having a rental car would be convenient.
オアフ島で速歩、駈歩ができるのはここだけと聞いて決めました。日本では考えられない広大な自然の中を駈歩で風を切って走る感覚は最高です!
山を登り、頂上からはビーチまで見渡せました。とにかく景色が綺麗!
英語しか通じませんが、速歩(トロット)、駈歩(キャンター)の言葉さえ分かれば騎乗中はなんとかなると思います。
ヘルメットもレンタルがあるし、ジーンズとスニーカーさえあれば気軽に行くことができます。
場所だけはワイキキから遠かったのでタクシーを利用しました。片道1時間半程度、料金は130ドル程度でした。海沿いのハイウェイを走るのも気持ちよかったです。レンタカーがあると便利だと思います。

We have been taken care of by Gunstock three times as a couple.
In the world of horseback riding, there are not many places where you can canter, but this place never disappoints, no matter when you visit (laughs). Even if you don't understand English, the handsome guide leads the way and turns back to ask, "Is cantering okay?" The well-trained horses recognize that this is a place where they can run, so they canter comfortably.
Gunstock is the best!! We will definitely visit again next time!

We participated as a couple. Since we are attending a riding school in Japan, we were looking forward to horseback riding abroad. The handsome staff communicated with us in broken Japanese, and we enjoyed a walk on the beautiful beach of the North Shore. Then we did log jumps, and afterwards, we even got to canter, which made us very satisfied.
夫婦で参加しました。
日本で乗馬学校に通っている事もあり海外での乗馬を楽しみにして。
英語が話せない私達にイケメンスタッフが片言の日本語で対応してくれノースショアの美しいビーチをお散歩。
そして丸太ん棒のジャンプ。その後駈歩までさせて頂き
とっても満足できました。

I love horseback riding and have taken various lessons, but I had my first experience with polo in Japan, as there weren't many opportunities.
First, we practiced hitting the ball on the ground. After that, I hit the ball while walking on the horse, and gradually I was able to hit the ball while the horse was running. The horse was very smart and moved towards the ball on its own.
I was very satisfied with the added enjoyment of horseback riding.
I had a great experience in the beautiful nature of the North Shore.
The staff were kind, and even though I didn't understand much English, we were able to communicate through gestures.
Thank you very much.
乗馬が好きでいろいろレッスンを受けてきましたが、ポロは日本では機会がなく初体験でした
まずは地上で球を打つ練習
その後、馬に乗り歩かせながら球を打ち、徐々に馬を走らせながら球を打つ所まで出来ました
馬がとても賢く、ポロに慣れているため球を打った方へ自ら移動します
乗馬プラスαの楽しさで大満足
ノースショアの大自然の中、とても良い経験ができました
スタッフの方も親切で英語があまりわからなくても身振り手振りで意志の疎通が出来ました
ありがとうございました

They took photos for us at every stop, so even as a couple, we didn't have to worry about taking pictures. I really appreciated this thoughtful gesture.
Since I chose the hiking plan, I walked through the botanical garden at the end point in Waimea Canyon, but it was hard to understand the different zones without being able to read English... I can recommend it for nature lovers, but if I were to do it again, I think I'd prefer horseback riding after seeing others.
I was told that in winter, it depends on the turtles, but luckily, we encountered a sea turtle basking on the rocks! The conversations along the way were enjoyable, but on the way back, I was so tired that I fell into a deep sleep. You can have such a fulfilling experience in a short amount of time. I highly recommend it.
行く先々でまず写真撮影をしてくれたので、カップルで参加してもカメラ撮影に気を揉まずにすみました。
本当にこういう心遣いは嬉しかったです。
ハイキングプランをチョイスしたので、ワイメア渓谷がゴール地点の植物園を歩いたのですが、英語が読めないとゾーンが変わってもよくわからないという…
自然大好き!な方にはオススメできますが、リピートするなら乗馬がいいなぁと他の方々を見て思いました。
冬場は寒いので出会えるかは亀次第…と説明を受けたものの、運良くウミガメの甲羅干しにも出会えてラッキー!
道中の会話も楽しかったのですが、帰りは疲れて熟睡してしまいました。
それだけ充実した内容を短時間で過ごせます。オススメです。

I go to Hawaii every year, and this was my second time participating. My son (11 years old) is really looking forward to the horseback riding here. There are options for valley riding and beach riding, but I think the valley riding is more enjoyable since it lasts for an hour and a half and includes some ups and downs.
During the valley riding, at the end, the instructor takes photos of each person on their horse from a scenic spot with your own camera. Don't forget to bring a digital camera or similar!
毎年ハワイへ行きますが、今回2回目の参加でした。ここの乗馬は、息子(11歳)がとても楽しみにしています。渓谷乗馬と海辺乗馬とありますが、渓谷乗馬の方が乗馬時間も1時間半と長く、アップダウンもあり、楽しめるのではと思います。
渓谷乗馬では、最後に景色の良い所から個々に馬に乗っている状態を手持ちのカメラで乗馬の先生が撮影してくれます。デジカメ等を忘れずに。

Dear Aya,
Thank you for visiting us! Each horse has its own personality, and some can be quite spirited. Indeed, those horses may leave a stronger impression on you.
I believe that experiencing two hours of being swayed by a horse in the great outdoors is a rare opportunity. You had a wonderful experience.
We look forward to your next visit.

ご来場有難うございました! 馬にもそれぞれ個性があってきかん気な子もいます。確かにそんな子ほど印象に残るかもしれませんね。
大自然の中、2時間も馬に揺られる経験はなかなか出来ないと思います。よい体験をされましたね。
またのご来場を御待ちしております。
