It was my first time horseback riding, but the explanation was only about three minutes long in a video. I was quickly put on a horse and we started. It was raining that day, and the horse seemed to have difficulty walking. An instructor was present, but since it was in English, I obviously couldn't understand what they were saying. They were giving various instructions quite loudly. I rode for about two hours straight, and my back and butt hurt, while the instructor was shouting next to me, and I got soaked from the rain. It was truly an exhausting first experience.
初めての乗馬でしたが、説明は動画の3分くらい。すぐ馬に乗せられてスタート。
当日は雨もあり、馬も歩きにくそうでした。
インストラクターが付くのですが、英語なんで、
当然何言ってるか分からず?
結構大声で、いろいろ指示してくる。
約2時間乗りっぱなしで、腰、お尻は痛いし、横でインストラクターは、喚いてるし、雨でビショビショになるし、ホント疲れだけが残った初体験でした。

When we left Waikiki, I was a bit anxious because of the thunderstorm and thought we might not be able to ride, but the weather was perfect when it was our turn! The horse was not as skittish as a thoroughbred and was gentle and well-behaved! Although it wasn't very tall, its body was thicker than a thoroughbred's, which made me feel even more like I was abroad! Since I had only experienced British horses, everything felt fresh and new! The instructor was cheerful, kind, beautiful, and really wonderful! The guide was Japanese, very knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly, which made me feel very secure and it was a lot of fun!
If there is enough demand, I would love to see something like "Let's run horses on the beach! (with a pre-lesson)"
Thank you very much!
ワイキキを出発したときは雷雨で乗れないかも…と少し不安でしたが、私たちが乗るとき天気にも恵まれ最高でした!
サラブレッドよりも怖がりでなく温厚で良い子でした!体高はあまり高くないものの馬体(胴回り)がサラブレッドより太く、脚で挟みきれない感じがより海外に来てる感があって良かったです!
ブリティッシュしか経験がなかったのもあって色々と新鮮でした!
インストラクターの方も明るくて親切で美人でとても素敵でした✨
ガイドさんは日本人でとても知識が豊富で説明も分かりやすくとても安心&楽しかったです♪
一定の需要があればですが、「海岸で馬を走らせてみよう!(事前レッスン着き)」みたいのがあれば嬉しいです

It was raining at the start, so I got completely soaked. It stopped right away, but I think it's better to bring a change of clothes. The horses are used to carrying people, so they walk without disturbing the line too much, even without any intervention. Occasionally, they might stray from the line, but if you pull on the reins, they quickly return to their place. Since I wasn't used to it, my backside was incredibly sore. Still, the two-hour activity flew by. If I have the chance, I would like my grandchildren to experience it as well.
スタート時は雨が降っていたのでびしょびしょになりました。
直ぐに止みましたが、着替えは持っていた方が良いと思います。
お馬さんは何度も人を乗せて歩いているので何もしなくても有る程度列を乱すことなく歩いてくれます。たまに列から乱れることも有りますが、手綱を引っ張ったりすると直ぐにもとに戻ってくれました。
慣れていないのでお尻がものすごく痛かったです。
それでも2時間のアクティビティーはあっという間に終わりました。
機会が有れば、孫にも体験させたいと思いました。

Since I had never ridden a horse in Japan before, I prepared by watching videos on how to ride and referring to others' experiences.
Points to be careful about:
- A waist bag is fine, but no matter how small, shoulder bags are not allowed (there's a risk of getting caught while passing through trees), so you must use a locker for $5 a day.
- You can attach a small pouch with two pockets to the saddle for drinks and your phone. You can take photos with one hand while riding.
- There are courses for the sea, mountains, and movies, but the sea is just a view from the mountains and you won't be walking on a beach. The movie course doesn't include famous spots like the fallen trees from Jurassic Park, so most of the ride is through the mountains. (That said, the open plains have beautiful scenery...) If you're not someone whose main goal is to ride for a long time, you might be disappointed.
- As for compatibility with the horse? Generally, the horse walks on its own without needing commands, but the horse I rode often stopped, and even when I kicked to signal it to start, it didn't move much, leaving a gap with the others, which made me anxious. It’s suitable for beginners since there’s no running, but experienced riders might find it lacking.
Unexpectedly good points:
- The famous hamburger at Kualoa was surprisingly delicious. The classic burger has two patties, lettuce, tomato, and cheese without any sauce, allowing you to enjoy the natural flavor of the beef, making it the best hamburger I had during my trip to Hawaii. The fries that came with it were not greasy and tasty; it was a bit too much for one person but might be insufficient for two.
- On a day with unstable weather, there was information at check-in that ponchos were available for $7 for those who were worried. Since the rain stopped while we were waiting, I didn't buy one, but riders could borrow a rubber poncho along with helmets and pouches at check-in. It was very helpful when it rained during the ride.
- Some reviews mentioned long waiting times, but we found interesting rooms that explained the history of Kualoa Ranch and photo-worthy spots, so we didn't get bored and the waiting time felt just right. (Riding was from 11:30 to 15:45)
Having watched Jurassic Park beforehand and expecting to see those locations, I was a bit disappointed with the route, but I had fun being able to ride for a long time by myself, which is something you can only experience in Japan by walking for about 10 minutes with the reins pulled. If I have the chance next time, I would like to join the Jurassic Adventure Tour that visits the sets of Jurassic Park.
日本でも乗馬したことがなかったので、事前に乗り方を動画で見る他、他の方の体験談を参考に準備していきました。
気をつける点
・腰に巻くタイプのバッグなら大丈夫ですが、荷物はどんなに小さくてもショルダーバッグはダメ(木々の間を抜けるため引っかかる危険があるため)で、1日5$のロッカーに入れなくてはなりません。
・馬の鞍にポケットが2つ付いた小物入れを設置でき、飲み物や携帯を入れることができます。携帯は乗馬中に片手でなら撮影可能です。
・海・山・映画コースとありますが、海は山から海が見える程度で砂浜とかを歩く訳でもなく、映画も有名なジュラシックパークの倒木の場所などでもないため、ほとんどが山の中を歩きます。(とはいえ拓けた平原などはキレイな景色ですが…)あくまでも長時間乗馬をすることが目的の人じゃないとガッカリするかもしれません。
・馬との相性?なのか基本的には指示しなくても勝手に歩いてくれますが、私の乗った馬は途中で止まってしまうことが多く、お腹を蹴るスタートの合図をしても中々進んでくれず前の方と間が空いてしまうことが多く焦りました。走ることはないため、初心者には向いていますが経験者には物足りないと感じるかもしれません。
予想外に良かった点
・クアロアで有名なハンバーガーは予想以上に美味しかったです。クラシックバーガーはパテ2枚・レタス・トマト・チーズのみでソースがかかっていないため、牛本来の味が楽しめハワイ旅行で1番美味しかったハンバーガーとなりました。付け合せで付いているポテトも油っこくなく美味しく、1人では多いけど2人だと物足りないかな?くらいの量でした。
・天気が不安定な日で、チェックイン時に不安な人は7$でポンチョが売っているとの案内がありました。待機中に雨が止んだため買わなかったのですが、乗馬の人は受付時にヘルメット・小物入れの他にゴム製のポンチョを借りることが出来ました。乗馬中に降られたのでとても助かりました。
・待機時間が長いとの感想がありましたが、お土産屋さんのほかにもクアロアランチの歴史がわかるお部屋があったり写真映えするポイントがあったりと、私たちは退屈することなくちょうどいいくらいの待機時間でした。(乗馬11:30~、帰り15:45)
事前にジュラシックパークを見てここに行くんだと期待してしまったため、ルートには少しガッカリしましたが、日本では手綱を引かれて10分歩く位しか体験出来ない所を自分1人で長時間乗馬することができて楽しかったです。次回があればジュラシックアドベンチャーツアーというジュラシックパークのセットを巡るツアーに参加したいと思いました。

Perhaps my expectations or image were too strong. Riding for two hours can honestly get boring, but it is a good experience.
If it's your first time in Hawaii, I can recommend it, but it does take quite a bit of time, so it might be a lower priority.
おそらく、要望と言うかイメージが強すぎた
乗馬2時間は正直飽きるが、いい経験にはなる
初めてのハワイならお勧めできるが
時間も結構取られるので優先度は低めかもしれない

We headed to Kualoa Ranch while picking up participants from each hotel. Upon arrival, there was an explanation in Japanese, which was easy to understand. By the way, the explanation while riding is in English. The two-hour ride through the vast grounds, with its ups and downs, offered beautiful views from high places. Since you stay on the horse the whole time, it might feel a bit long if it's your first time riding. They took photos for us as a service. I would like to visit again the next time I go to Hawaii.
各ホテルで参加者をピックアップしながらクアロアランチへ向かいました。
到着後すぐに日本語での説明があり、分かり易かったです。
ちなみに乗馬しながら聞く説明は英語です。
広大な敷地をアップダウンしながらの2時間。高い場所から見る景色はとても美しかったです。
ずっと乗ったままなのでこれが人生初の乗馬であった場合、少々長く感じるかもしれません。
サービスで写真を撮っていただきました。
次にハワイへ行った時にはまた訪ねたいと思います。

When it comes to horseback riding in Hawaii, I thought there was only Kualoa Ranch, but I was surprised to find out you can ride along the North Shore coast!! (Even my local friends didn't know about it.) It was definitely refreshing!! I have experience riding both domestically and internationally, but it's totally fine for first-timers as well. However, if you go on a tour, the time for exploring the North Shore town will be a bit short, which is a little disappointing.
ハワイで乗馬といえば、クアロア・ランチしかないと思っていましたが、ノースの海岸沿いで乗馬できるとは!!(現地の友人も知りませんでした。)

The tour guide was great, the horses were lovely, the scenery was perfect, and the ride was peaceful and relaxing, but you won’t see the sunset on the beach like the photos suggest you will. (It sets behind the mountain across the street from the riding tour, which was a disappointment for me considering the name of the tour and the photos!)
We are so happy that you were able to enjoy the scenery, and the horses provided a relaxing ride! Depending on the time of the year, the position of the sun does move, and it will not always be positioned over the ocean. The sunset name is for the time of day that the ride occurs. Unfortunately, we have no control of the position of the sun, however I hope you were still able to enjoy the changing colors reflecting off the mountains and the ocean.

I went to Hawaii for the first time on my honeymoon.
I was a bit anxious about whether I would be able to ride a horse since it was my first experience, but there was no problem at all!! The guide (who spoke English, but it was fine) provided great assistance while riding, so I felt reassured. They chose a horse that suited me. The horse was very smart, and when I gave commands with my legs, it would walk along the trail by itself, which was amusing.
While riding, I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea and mountains, experiencing the magnificent nature that you can't feel in Japan. I'm really glad I participated! It became my favorite memory of the Hawaii trip.
However, since it was a two-hour ride, my butt and legs became very sore... After getting off the horse, my legs were shaking for a while, which was funny. But even with that, I think it's a tour I would highly recommend!!
There were few dining options, and the burger I wanted had a long line, so I ended up settling for a sandwich from the shop, which I regret a little... The horse keychain at the shop was cute! ♡
ハネムーンで初ハワイにいきました。

We booked a dream horseback riding experience for the family in Hawaii. The reservation process was easy and went smoothly, but getting there was quite a challenge! It took too long to rent a car in Waikiki, and just when we thought we were cutting it close, we followed the directions and found a closed gate along the way. Just when we were worried we couldn't get in, a kind local informed us that we needed to enter a code, and after a bit of confusion, we managed to resolve it with a phone call. The mountain roads were quite tricky, with many narrow spots.
Although the journey was tough, once we arrived, the friendly staff and the horseback riding while enjoying the breathtaking views made it an incredible experience. The 1.5-hour tour ended up being just over an hour, but since we were riding on rocky paths the whole time, my backside was a bit sore, which was probably just right.
After the ride, we even got to feed the adorable horses. The tour moves at a leisurely pace, so there are plenty of opportunities to take photos along the way.
ハワイでの憧れの乗馬体験を家族で予約。予約方法は簡単で問題なかったけど、現地までの道のりが大変!レンタカーをワイキキで借りるのに時間がかかりすぎてギリギリだってのに加えて近くまでルート案内通り進んで行くと、途中ゲートが閉まっていて開かない。入れないかと思ってるところに親切な近隣の方が番号入力が必要なことを教えてくれて挑戦するも解らず電話をかけて何とか解決。なかなかの山道で離合は厳しいところが多かった。(^_^;)
道のりは大変だったが現地に着くとフレンドリーなスタッフの対応、絶景を眺めながらの乗馬は気持ちよく最高な体験になりました。1.5時間のツアーが1時間ちょいで終了したけど、岩道をずっと乗ってたのでお尻が痛くてちょうど良かったかな。(о´∀`о)
乗馬終了後は可愛いお馬さんに餌やり体験までさせてくれた。ゆっくり進むツアーなので途中に写真もたくさん撮れます。

I had a horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch, the filming location of the movie "Jurassic Park." With majestic mountains and beautiful coastlines, it's a fantastic place for movie fans and nature lovers alike. Riding in the vast wilderness felt extraordinary, and the stunning views of the ocean and mountains were very impressive. The instructor was knowledgeable and provided clear guidance for beginners, making it easy to enjoy. I was concerned about the heat, but a pleasant breeze made it comfortable. It was truly a satisfying tour. While there were reviews mentioning discomfort in the saddle, I found it to be perfectly fine.

The driver who picked us up was Japanese, and he shared various stories during the bus ride! He asked where in the North we wanted to get off and extended the meeting time based on the situation, which was very thoughtful of him! He also taught us how to ride and dismount the horse, as well as how to change directions, all in Japanese, which was really helpful! Once we arrived at the site, we could use a QR code to watch a YouTube video to confirm how to ride again, which was great!
The staff at the riding area didn't speak our language, but the driver acted as an interpreter, and the staff were cool, kind, and wonderful! It seems that the horses dislike the smell of alcohol, so please be careful about drinking! It really seems like you won't be allowed to ride if you have been drinking. Selfie sticks also seem to be a no-go since the horses dislike them! It's recommended to carry them in a way that hangs around your neck.
The horses were very calm and obedient, so we had a really enjoyable time! Riding along the seaside with the wind in our hair, the view from the horse was amazing! After riding, we were dropped off near our target shop, where we bought and ate some frilly chicken (available only on weekends) and garlic shrimp for lunch. We still had time left, so we were able to explore various shops!

The only issue was the meeting point. There was a gate to enter the mountains on the way, and you couldn't get in without a password. I was unsure if I was on the right path, so I called, and they told me they had sent the password via email. I still don't know which password it is, but there were some cars coming out, so I managed to get in somehow.
The scenery on the road after entering the gate was different from Japan, and it felt like I was in Jurassic World.
Including the journey there, it truly became a wonderful memory!

We enjoyed the scenery as a group while riding in a line, but the girl at the front of the group felt a bit anxious when the path split, as there were no instructions on which way to go, and she kept looking back to wait for the guide. Although we were a group of six, we could hardly hear the guide along the way, so it felt like we were mostly enjoying the horseback riding and the scenery on our own. The views of both the sea and the mountains were fantastic. The guide's response was good, but I think it would be even more enjoyable if those two points were improved. Also, since it wasn't a lead horse, I thought it would be reassuring to have the best rental options available.
グループで馬が1列になり景色を楽しみましたが、グループの先頭になった娘は、道が別れた時どちらに行ったら良いか、指示がなく、何度も後ろを振り返りガイドさんを待ったりと、少し不安になる時がありました…6人でのグループでしたが、途中のガイドもほとんど聞こえず、自分で乗馬と景色を楽しんだ感じでした。景気は海、山両方楽しめて最高です。ガイドのお姉さんの対応はよかったのですが、その2点が改善されるともっと楽しめると思います。あと、引き馬ではないので、是非ベストのレンタルもあると安心できると思いました。

I was able to immerse myself in the world of Jurassic Park while horseback riding. I was overwhelmed by the magnificent scenery. The Japanese guidance was very comprehensive, so I felt no anxiety at all.

First of all, there was a detailed explanation in Japanese, so if you understand that, horseback riding was also easy. Although it was a two-hour session, it felt like it ended in no time. There were many things to see, and it was very enjoyable.
始めに、日本語で説明が詳しくありましたので、それを理解していれば、乗馬も暗線でした。
2時間の時間でしたが、あっという間に終わってしまったと感じました。

Despite having no horseback riding experience in Japan, I made a reservation and quickly got used to the very calm and smart horses after about 10 minutes.
The beach has a nice breeze and is cool, but elsewhere, there is direct sunlight and little wind, so it's essential to stay hydrated. I recommend wearing long pants or leggings, and a sleeveless top is fine and just right for the weather.
I also enjoyed the atmosphere in Haleiwa. I think two hours is sufficient for exploring Haleiwa.
国内での乗馬経験が無いにも関わらず予約してしまいましたが、とっても大人しく賢いお馬さんたちで10分ほどすればすぐ慣れました。
浜辺は風が通って涼しいですがそこ以外は日光もあたり風も通らないので必ず水分が必要、洋服は長ズボン又はレギンス、トップスはノースリーブでも危なくないのでちょうど良いと思います。
ハレイワも雰囲気があり楽しめました。ハレイワ散策は2時間ほどあれば十分だと思います。

After visiting the Dole Pineapple Plantation, I went horseback riding on the North Shore. We took a leisurely stroll along the coast on horseback. The horses were calm, making it enjoyable even for beginners.

The pickup time from the hotel is at 10 AM, and we arrived at the site just after 12 PM. We wandered around Waikiki until 10 AM. If you have a rental car, it won't take an hour to get there. The horseback riding is scheduled for 3 PM. From 12 PM to 3 PM, there was nothing to do, and I wanted to join another sightseeing tour, but most of them were 60 to 120 minutes long, so I couldn't participate.
The horseback riding experience is a 90-minute course, and the pace is a slow walk. When I rode on the beaches of Australia, it was more of a brisk trot than a walk. I thought I would have a similar experience here, but I was very mistaken. If you go to this place, you should rent a car, experience what you want quickly, and then leave for other locations. After the horseback riding experience, we had to wait for an hour with nothing to do for the last group, and we left the site at 6:30 PM. We arrived at the hotel close to 8 PM. It was a waste of a day on this tour. The cost was also questionable. The most disappointing part was the time that was taken away.
送迎時間がホテル10時でグルぐる回り現地には12時過ぎ。
10時までワイキキぶらぶら。
レンタカーなら1時間はかかりません。
それから乗馬時間が15時。
12時から15時まですることなく、他の見学コースを希望するも
どれも60分~120分コースが多くて、参加できませんでした。
乗馬体験は
90分コースで、トコトコ歩く速さ。
オーストラリアの海岸で乗馬した際は、早歩きと言うよりは
駆け足乗馬でした。
その様な乗馬体験ができると思ってたら、大間違い。
この場所に行くなら、レンタカーで行き体験したいものが有れば
さっさと体験して、この場を後にして他の場所に行くべき。
乗馬体験が終わり、最終組を1時間何もすることなく待たされ、
現地を出たのが18時30分。
ホテルには20時近くに到着。
1日がもったいないツアーでした。
金額的にも???
一番残念なのは時間がとられたことです。

I was a bit anxious about horseback riding for the first time, but the guide was very kind and I was able to enjoy it at a relaxed pace. The course had hills and was along the coast, so it was satisfying without getting boring.
I think it's a good idea to know about the riding posture from YouTube beforehand. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy a comfortable ride without any pain in my backside.
はじめての乗馬で不安もありましたが、ガイドさんも親切に対応いただきゆっくりした気持ちで回ることができました。コースも山あり、あり、海岸沿いと飽きることなく満足できました。
乗馬の際の姿勢は、ユーチューブで事前情報をしっていたほうがいいと思います。お陰でおしりが痛くなることもなく快適な乗馬が楽しめました

Since Sanae, a Japanese guide, showed us around, there were no problems at all! We enjoyed a two-hour horseback ride while taking in the beautiful scenery. My body is sore, but it was so much fun!

I wanted to go horseback riding and see the magnificent scenery, so I made a reservation with my husband. However, since there were ups and downs, I didn't have much time to enjoy the view as it was my first experience riding. Since we were in the sun for a long time, sunscreen is a must. The guide was English-speaking, so you need to have a certain level of understanding; otherwise, you'll just be looking at the scenery. Unfortunately, we only stopped for about three minutes at the main highlight, so I wish we had a bit more time. I'm grateful that the guide sends the photos he takes along the way to my phone!
乗馬をして雄大な景色を見たいと思い主人と予約しましたが、アップダウンがあるので乗馬初体験には景色を楽しむ余裕が薄れてました。
日向が続くので日焼け止め必須です。
ガイドさんが1人・英語なのである程度理解出来ないと景色だけになります。
残念なのが、1番見どころの場所で3分程度しか止まらないのでもう少し時間が欲しいです。
ガイドさんが途中撮影してくれる写真を携帯に送ってくれるのは有り難いです!

I had a great time with the two-hour horseback riding! The course felt like a hiking trail, but since the horses handled both the uphill and downhill parts, it was less tiring. Being on horseback also gave me a higher vantage point, making the stunning views even more beautiful!
There were about six participants and two staff members accompanying us. The horses my family and I rode were calm and didn't require much guidance, so we seemed to have a good match.
However, be aware that the round sign for Jurassic Park, famous at Kualoa Ranch, was not on the course!
During the horseback riding, you need to store most of your belongings in a locker for $5 a day. Only a drink bottle and a small camera or smartphone are allowed in a small bag provided to you. Since you’ll be holding the reins with one hand, you can take photos with one hand when you get used to the rhythm. Besides selfies, they also take paid photos along the way with your smartphone.
Lunch can be purchased at the cafeteria on-site for about $15-20. The portions are quite substantial, so sharing might be a good idea if two people are participating. Be mindful that there can be a long line during lunchtime, and it takes some time to get your food. Also, you need to board the return bus earlier than the scheduled departure time, so timing is important.
Overall, I was very satisfied and felt it was one of the activities I was glad to have done!
2時間たっぷりの乗馬でとても楽しかったです!
コース的にはハイキングコースのような感じですが、登りも下りもお馬さんがやってくれるので疲労度も少なく、馬上なので視座も高くて絶景が更に美しく見えました!
参加者6人くらいにスタッフ2人がついてくれました。私や家族が乗った馬は大人しくて指示もあまり必要なく、相性が良かったようです。
ただ、クアロアランチで有名なジュラシックパークの丸い看板はコースに入っていなかったのでその点は注意です…!
乗馬の際は、1日5ドルのロッカーに荷物のほとんどを預けます。貸与される小さいバッグに入る、飲み物ボトルとスマホや小さいカメラのみ持ち込みが許されます。基本的に片手は手綱を握っているので、写真はリズムに慣れてきた頃に好きなタイミングで片手で撮る感じです。自撮り以外は途中で有料写真と手持ちのスマホでの写真を撮ってくれます。
ランチは施設内のカフェテリアで15-20ドルくらいで購入できます。結構しっかりボリュームあるので2人参加ならシェアでも良いかも。お昼時は結構並ぶし提供まで時間がかかるのと、帰りのバスが出発時間より早めに乗車する必要があるのでタイミング注意です。
全体的にかなり満足度高くて、やって良かったなと思うアクティビティのひとつでした!
