I arrived in Hawaii and participated with my family of four the day before my daughter's wedding. I wasn't sure I could make it to the North Shore on my own, and I was also intrigued by the unknown experience of "horseback riding."
Our driver and guide, S, drove safely while explaining many things along the way, and the wealth of information made it very enjoyable. Unfortunately, our stay at the Dole Plantation was less than 30 minutes, but the pineapple soft serve was exquisite. The cup had fruit on top. Next time, I want to try the world's largest maze and the pineapple train.
The purpose of visiting Haleiwa was for "garlic shrimp." Among the recommended places, we went to "Camarones," where the rice was creamy and reminiscent of a gratin. When I spoke with the staff, I learned that the chef is Japanese and was originally an artist who trained in Spain and France. The presentation was incredibly beautiful, and I was impressed, but it made sense why it was so well done. It was a good decision to pay an extra dollar to have the shells removed. This is what they mean by plump shrimp.
On our way back to the parking lot, we stopped by the local supermarket, Malama Market, and also visited Matsumoto Shave Ice. I was relieved to find it surprisingly uncrowded. We shared a large rainbow with milk for $3.50, and the ice was much softer and tastier than the ones I had later in Hawaii.
By chance, the owner, Mr. Matsumoto, was there, and we chatted. My daughter seems to have become LINE friends with him.
The main event, horseback riding, was not as concerning as I had feared. My horse, Cody, was very well-behaved and followed the horse in front without kicking (the signal to move forward) even once. However, my husband and son, along with the horses behind them, were quite eager to stray from the line to eat grass (laughs). But there were guides in front and behind us to help control the situation.
The guides took many photos, and it was truly moving to be riding along the coastal path (we even saw sea turtles) and through a small trail. I thought it was considerate that we could stop by the restroom at Turtle Bay Hotel to wash our hands. There was information about the sea turtles, and although we didn't go ashore, we managed to take a few photos at the sunny Sunset Beach and saw about three sea turtles nearby.
It was an incredibly ambitious tour, but thanks to our driver and guide, we enjoyed only the best parts. We were blessed with good weather and had a fun day. Thank you very much.
ハワイ到着して娘の結婚式の前日家族4人で参加しました。ノースショアには自力で行けそうになかったし、未知の「乗馬」ってのにも惹かれました。
運転手兼ガイドのSさんは安全運転しながら道中の沢山のものを説明してくださり、その情報量が豊富でとても楽しかったです。
「ドールプランテーション」は30分以下の滞在時間だったので残念ですが、パイナップルのソフトクリームは絶品です。カップのは上に果肉が乗っています。
次回は世界最大迷路やパイナップル電車にも乗ってみたい。
ハレイワの街の目的は「ガーリックシュリンプ」でした。お勧めの数件の内「カマロン」に行きましたが、ライスがクリーミーなドリア風でした。スタッフさんと話したらシェフは日本人で元はアーティスト?スペインやフランスで修行された方とのことです。盛り付けも大変美しく感激していたけど、「やはりそうだったんだ」と納得しました。1ドル追加して殻をむいてもらって正解でした。プリプリのエビってのはこれの事でした。
地元のスーパーの「マラママーケット」に寄りながら駐車場に戻り、「松本かき氷店」にも行きました。意外に空いていてほっとしました。レインボー(大)+ミルクで3.5ドルで4人で食べましたが、氷が後で食べたハワイのものよりもずっとソフトで美味しかったです。
偶然オーナーの松本氏がいらしてお話しました。若い娘はLINE友達になったようです。
メインイベントの乗馬は心配したほどの事は無く、私の馬(コディ)はとてもお行儀がよく、一回もお腹を蹴らなくても(進めの合図)ちゃんと前の馬について歩いてくれましたが、夫と息子、その後ろの方の馬はやたらと列から離れて草を食べたがる馬でした(笑)
でもちゃんと前と後ろにガイドさんがついてくれて制御してくれます。
ガイドの方も写真もたくさん撮ってくださるし、なにより海沿いの道(ウミガメもみました)やちょっと入った小径を馬で移動しているなんて感動でした。
帰りに「タートルベイホテル」の洗面所によって手を洗ったりできるのも気が利いているなと思います。ウミガメどうかな?って情報でしたが、快晴のサンセットビーチにもちょっとだけ降りて写真をとり、陸には上がってなかったけどウミガメもすぐそばに3匹ほど見られました。
ものすごく欲張りツアーですが運転手兼ガイドさんのおかげで美味しいところだけ取って満喫しました。天気にも恵まれ楽しい一日でした。ありがとうございました。

I chose this tour because I wanted to go horseback riding and I also like the North Shore. Since it was my first time riding, I was nervous until I got used to it, but the time spent riding a lovely horse while looking at the beautiful sea was truly healing. I was satisfied with the free time in Haleiwa, as I was able to visit the shops I wanted to go to.
What was disappointing was that there were not only horseback riders but also other people, which made it a bit hectic to find time for things like searching for pineapples and sea turtles, and even bathroom breaks felt rushed due to time constraints. I wish I could have taken it a bit slower... However, horseback riding was really great, so I had a valuable experience.
乗馬がしたくて、ノースも好きなので このツアーを選びました。初乗馬だったので 乗り慣れるまでは
緊張しましたが、キレイな海を見ながら 可愛らしい馬に乗っている時間は本当に癒されました。
ハレイワの街での自由時間は 行きたいお店にも行けたので満足です。
残念だったのは、乗馬の人だけではなく違う人たちもいらっしゃったので、時間を合わすために ドールやウミガメを探す時間、トイレ休憩さえもバタバタと慌ただしく時間制限があったことです。
もう少しゆっくりしたかったな…
でも、乗馬は本当に良かったので貴重な体験ができました。

The Dole Plantation, Turtle Beach, Haleiwa Town, and horseback riding along the coast made for a very packed itinerary. I also enjoyed the experience of cracking open and eating fresh macadamia nuts at the macadamia nut farm, which you mentioned could only be visited when there was time. I wish we could have spent a bit more time in Haleiwa Town, as we only had time for lunch. I would have liked to have extended the time, even if it meant starting our meeting a bit earlier! Horseback riding by the sea was very pleasant, and I’m glad I participated.

On the second day of our stay in Hawaii, my spouse and I participated in this optional tour. At first, we were looking at various tours that would take us to many places, but since we didn't want to feel rushed (though we were a bit anxious since it was our first time), we decided on this free time plan to leisurely stroll through the streets.
That was the right choice! After visiting Dole's and Turtle Beach, we had about three hours of free time. We were able to explore the town from one end to the other, taking breaks along the way. Our driver, Tsugawa (I apologize if I got the name wrong!), was very kind and drove us to Macky's, which was a bit away from the meeting point. He helped us with ordering the garlic shrimp and provided wet wipes, making us feel comfortable during the tour.
Initially, I was worried about the weather, but it turned out to be sunny without any issues. I would have given it five stars, but since we couldn't see the sea turtles basking (they were peeking out of the water), I’m giving it four stars this time, hoping to see them basking next time!
夫婦でハワイ滞在2日目にこちらのオプショナルツアーに参加させて戴きました。初めは他にも色々連れていってもらえるツアーを見ていたのですが、あまり時間に追われたくない2人(だけど初めてだからちょっと不安)ゆっくりと街並みを見ながら散策したくなったのでこちらのフリータイムプランに決めました。
これが正解♪ドールズ、海亀ビーチに行った後は3時間程のフリータイム。町の端から端までゆっくりと休憩を挟みながら散策することができました(^-^)ドライバーのツガワさん(名前間違っていたらすみません‼)はとても優しい方で、待ち合わせ場所から少し離れた場所にあるマッキーズまで車で連れていってくれて、ガーリックシュリンプの注文や案内、ウェットティッシュを持ってきてくださったりと安心してツアーに参加する事が出来ました(^-^)初め心配だった天気も問題なく晴天で、本当は☆5つなのですが、海亀さんの甲羅干しが見れなかったので(海から顔は出していましたw)次回甲羅干しを見れる様期待を込めて☆4つで!

I recommend this for first-time visitors to Hawaii. You can visit the "This is the tree, what tree?" Monkey Pod, Pineapple Park, sea turtle landings, horseback riding, and a macadamia nut processing factory, and drive along the coastline. The garlic shrimp I had for lunch was the best! The mildly seasoned shrimp were irresistible. Horseback riding truly showcases Hawaii's great nature! It's a moment that makes you feel like you're on an overseas trip.
初めてハワイへ来た人におすすめです。この~木なんの木♪モンキーパッド、パイナップルパーク、ウミガメの上陸、乗馬、マカダミアナッツ加工工場へ行き、海岸線をドライブできます。昼食に食べた、ガーリックシュリンプは最高!マイルドな味付けのエビは箸が止まりません。乗馬はこれぞハワイの大自然!海外旅行に来たと感じる瞬間です。

First part of the trip was informative and somewhat interesting. Half way through we stopped for lunch at the Kualoa Ranch ,food was not bad. Then after the lunch break the trip became very boring. Drove along the north shore of the island for well over an hour without stopping to view anything. We then turned inland heading to the Dole Plantation which took another 1/2 an hour plus. Stopped at the plantation for 15 minutes to buy gifts or have a Dole ice cream??. Then it was off to home sweet home. Our Driver Leo was very cordial and informative and generally helpful with the boredom. This tour should at best last the first part of the trip and head back. Sorry

Dole Plantation, lunch in the town of North Shore, and horseback riding were all very enjoyable. Fortunately, we were also able to see sea turtles, so I think it was a good tour.
The guide was very knowledgeable and recommended a garlic shrimp place (Camarón) for lunch, but the dining area behind the restaurant was extremely hot and uncomfortable. The portion sizes seemed a bit small for Hawaii. I slightly regret that Macky's might have been a better choice than Camarón to feel the essence of Hawaii. Other than that, I was completely satisfied.
ドールプランテーション、ノースショアの町・昼食、乗馬も非常に楽しく、
運よくウミガメをみることもできましたので、良いツアーだったと思います。
ガイドの方の知識も豊富で、昼食にお勧めのガーリックシュリンプの店(カマロン)を
教えていただいたのですが、店裏の食事場所が非常に暑く不快、ハワイにしては量も少な目?

少し後悔しました。

The pickup for the Island Makana Tours' canyon horseback riding plan was at the Hyatt Regency's Core Street entrance, which was as crowded as Hachiko Square. Around 9:40, we arrived at Dole Plantation. Since we only had 30 minutes, I gave up on riding the Pineapple Express train that runs through the park, but just strolling through the pineapple fields felt great. Around 10:40, we reached Turtle Beach. Unfortunately, we didn't see any sea turtles. We dropped off the free time plan participants in Haleiwa, and around 11:15, we arrived at Waimea Canyon. It rained heavily on and off, but we started horseback riding. At one point, I slipped to the right along with the saddle, but I managed to keep holding the reins and stood up on the ground. After the horseback riding, everyone was soaking wet, and I was surprised that we couldn't borrow even one towel. Around 13:15, we arrived in Haleiwa Town. I had garlic shrimp at the Camaron Shrimp Wagon ($13.60). The line at Matsumoto Shave Ice was too long for me to consider waiting, but there was another shop nearby with a shave ice sign that had only staff inside.
アイランドマカナツアーズの渓谷乗馬プランのピックアップはアクティビティ集合場所になっているハイアットリージェンシーのコア通り側入り口で、ハチ公前みたいにごった返していた。9:40頃にドールプランテーション。滞在時間30分だったので、パイナップルエクスプレスという園内をはしる汽車への乗車は諦めたが、パイナップル畑などを散策するだけでも良い気分だった。10:40頃に海亀ビーチ。海亀は見られなかった。フリータイムプランの方々をハレイワで降ろし、11:15頃ワイメア渓谷。雨が強く降ったり止んだりだったが、乗馬開始。途中、鞍と一緒に体が右へずり落ちたが、手綱を握ったまま地面に立てた。乗馬後、全員ずぶ濡れになっていたが、タオル1枚借りられなかったのには驚いた。13:15頃、ハレイワタウン。カマロンシュリンプワゴンでガーリックシュリンプ(13.6ドル)。マツモトシェーブアイスは並ぶ気になれない行列だったが、近くにシェーブアイスの看板を掲げる別の店は店員しかいなかった。

I had about two and a half hours of free time in Haleiwa. Thanks to that, I was able to leisurely walk from one end of the town to the other. I also got to take photos of Haleiwa Wings, which made me happy.
However, I only passed by new places like Haleiwa Store Lot, so if I could wish for anything, I would have liked an additional 30 minutes.

ただ、ハレイワ・ストア・ロットなど新しい場所は通り過ぎるだけだったので、欲をいえば、あと30分くらい時間があると、嬉しいと思いました。

This tour focuses on horseback riding, but you can also stop by the Dole Plantation (for about an hour) and do some sea turtle watching (for about 10 minutes) along the way. However, since these are just side stops, you might not want to expect too much from them. The main horseback riding experience was great for beginners, as they teach you from scratch. The terrain was surprising, as I didn't know there were such forested areas in Hawaii. However, the driver, who was with us the longest, could speak Japanese but didn't talk much, so the hospitality was a bit lacking... Everyone seemed to be sleeping during the ride.
*Note: The horseback riding can get quite muddy, so make sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.*
乗馬をメインとしたツアーですが移動途中にDoleプランテーション(滞在1時間)やウミガメ(滞在10分)ウォッチングなどもできます。でも飽くまでついでに寄るくらいなのであまり期待しない方がいいかも。メインの乗馬は一から教えてくれるので初心者向けで面白かったです。地形もハワイにこんなところがあったのかと思うような森の中を進みます。ただ一番長い間一緒にいるドライバーのお兄さんが日本語は話せるけどあまりしゃべらない人でホスピタリティについてはビミョー。。みんな移動中は寝てましたね。
※乗馬では足元が結構ドロドロなので汚れても良い格好で行きましょう。

Riding on the back of a slowly walking horse while gazing at the beautiful sea was truly enjoyable. It was my first time riding a horse, but I was able to get on easily without feeling scared. I think the horse was quite old, so I felt grateful for the ride and hoped it would do its best to walk, but I was just so happy to have my first horseback riding experience. My husband said that a shorter time would have been fine, but I wanted to go riding for the same amount of time every day. As for clothing, I thought that as long as I wore sturdy footwear (like sneakers), it would be fine, just like when sightseeing.
ゆっくりと歩く馬の背中に乗り、とってもキレイな海を眺めながらの時間は本当に楽しかったです。馬に乗るのは初めてだったのですが、怖い思いもせず、簡単に馬の背中に乗れました。たぶん、かなり高齢の馬だと思ので、乗せてくれてありがとうございます、頑張って歩いてくださいねって感じもありましたが、私は初乗馬が嬉しいばかりでした。主人は、もっと短い時間でも良いと言いましたが、私は同じ時間ぐらいを毎日でも乗りに行きたかったです。服装は足元さえしっかりしたもの(スニーカー等)を履いていれば、他の観光するときと同じで大丈夫だなと思いました。

The horseback riding was a lot of fun, enhanced by the beauty of Turtle Bay. The horses were well-trained, and it felt more like being carried by the horse rather than riding it. Even for first-timers, as long as you hold the reins properly, you'll be fine. The horses follow the guide's instructions, and the scenery was so beautiful that time flew by. On the way back, I observed sea turtles at the beach, which was very soothing.

In the town of North Shore, I didn't have much time for sightseeing, but I was able to enjoy delicious garlic shrimp and Matsumoto Shave Ice, recommended by our guide. As a beginner in horseback riding, I had some anxiety, but it was fun to appreciate the beautiful seaside scenery from the unique perspective of being on a horse's back. The horse seemed to be hungry and didn't always listen to me, which made it a bit challenging, but aside from nibbling on grass, it walked along the course without me needing to pull on the reins, making horseback riding surprisingly easy. I was disappointed that I couldn't see any sea turtles from the beach, but since I had some extra time, our guide took us to a popular coffee stand where I enjoyed a tasting, which made me feel like I got a little bonus.
ノースショアの町では観光というほど時間はありませんでしたが、ガイドさんおすすめの美味しいガーリックシュリンプとマツモトシェイブアイスを食べることが出来ました。乗馬は初心者なので、不安はありましたが、海辺のきれいな景色をお馬さんの背中という普段とは違った視点から堪能できて楽しかったです。馬がおなかを空かせていたようで、言うことをなかなか聞いてくれずに苦戦しましたが、草をつまみ食いしているとき以外は、手綱を切らずともコースを外れずに歩いてくれて、意外と簡単に乗馬が出来ました。ビーチからウミガメが見れなかったのが残念でしたが、時間に余裕があったため、ガイドさんが人気のコーヒーの直売所に連れて行って下さり、試飲を楽しめたため、少し得をした気分になれました。

I also spent about 30 minutes at the Dole Plantation. It was nice that it was not crowded since it was right after opening.
After that, I had free time on the North Shore. I think the timing was just right for enjoying the garlic chicken, visiting the original Kua 'Aina, and shopping.
Later, after visiting a few beaches to see sea turtles, I rejoined the horseback riding group and headed to Waikiki.
I felt that being able to sleep in the car on the way back was something you can only do on a tour.
The guide/driver had a very calm tone, which was nice.
Since it was hard to hear the name, I thought it would have been even better if there were name tags in the car.
I would like to participate again.
フリータイムで参加しました。
乗馬の方と一緒でした。
ドールにも30分ほどよりました。開店直後なので空いていてよかったです。
その後はノースショアのフリータイム。
フリフリチキンに、クアアイナの本店、買い物など、ちょうどいい時間だったと思います。
その後、ウミガメを見にいくつかビーチをまわったあと、乗馬の方と合流で、ワイキキへ。でした。
帰りの車で眠れたのはツアーじゃないとできないと思いました。
ガイドの運転手の方もとても穏やかな口調で良かったです。
名前が聞き取りにくかったので車に名札でもあると尚良かったと思います。
また参加したいです。

I signed up for the "Free Time Plan" with my colleagues at work. I had already visited Haleiwa several times, but the tours usually only offered about an hour of free time, which didn't allow for much freedom. However, this "Free Time Plan" provides about three and a half hours of free time, allowing you to go wherever you like at your leisure.
I strolled from Macky's Shrimp Truck to Haleiwa Beach Park, taking breaks at a café, having lunch, and shopping along the way. I truly enjoyed exploring Haleiwa from one end to the other! This is a convenient and excellent plan for those who want to go wherever they please without being tied to a tour schedule.
会社の同僚と「フリータイムプラン」に申込みました。
ハレイワは既に何度か訪れている街だったのですが、フリー時間が1時間程度のツアーばかりでなかなか自由が利きません。
しかし、この「フリータイムプラン」はフリー時間が3時間半程度あり、気ままに好きな場所へ行くことが出来ます。
マッキーズのシュリンプトラックからハレイワビーチパークまで散策しましたが、途中カフェで休憩をしたり、昼食をとったり、買い物をしたりと、まさにハレイワの端から端まで堪能できました!
ツアースケジュールに縛られず、好きなところへ行きたい方には手軽で最高のプランです。

Shopping and lunch in the North were great, and afterwards, I went horseback riding by the beach, which was incredibly relaxing. The horses were smart and cute, and the scenery was amazing—I was very satisfied! ♡
ノースでの買い物やランチも出来てその後は海辺の乗馬ですごく癒されました。馬もお利口で可愛いし、景色は最高で大満足でした♡

Aloha Ms Cueno, we are very sorry to hear that the driver was not clear about things an only talked about food.
We will definitely talk to him about it.
Just to be clear, the tour package you bought included the kayak plus the admission to the falls park, but did not include a free lunch on us.
Some of the other customers use only one activity and have lunch on us -in lieu- of the second activity . Is this where the confusion started?
Our manager will call you to clarify everything with you.
Much aloha
