My fourth-grade daughter had some horseback riding experience in Japan, but her parents had almost none, yet we felt comfortable participating. Since we met at the location, we rented a car through an app and headed there. It took just over an hour to arrive from our hotel in Waikiki. Our group consisted of a total of eight people, with only our family of three being Japanese. The rest were Europeans and Asians. My wife speaks English, but my daughter and I only know a little. Still, we managed just fine. It was amazing to be able to ride horses along the white sandy beach. There was a height restriction for horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, so my daughter couldn't participate there, but this tour was fine for ages six and up, so there was no problem. There was also a polo practice area, and it was fun to watch the polo practice.
小学四年生の娘は日本で何度か乗馬経験がありましたが、両親はほぼ乗馬経験なし、それでも安心して参加できました。現地集合のため、アプリでカーシェアリングの車を借り、現地へ。ワイキキ のホテルから1時間強くらいで到着しました。我々が参加した組は合計8名で日本人は我々家族三人のみ。あとは、欧米人とアジア系の方々。家内は英語を喋りますが私と娘は片言。それでもなんとかなりました。白い砂浜を馬に乗って散歩できるなんて最高でした。クアロアランチへの乗馬は身長制限があり、娘が参加できませんでしたが、こちらのツアーは確か6歳以上だったので問題ありませんでした。ポロの練習場が併設されていて、ポロの練習も見られて楽しかったです。

I didn't have any concerns about infection since we were all facing the same direction watching the show or eating quietly. When you show your voucher at the entrance, you receive a card. The card has $20 loaded onto it, which can be used for drinks or shopping at the concession stand. You can enjoy some leisurely activities while waiting for the show to start, like riding in a canoe. The teriyaki chicken was delicious.
同じ向きを向いてショーを見ていたり黙食をしていたので感染の不安はありませんでした。バチュラを入口で見せるとカードがもらえます。そのカードに20ドル分入っていました。ドリンクや売店で買い物をする時に使えます。カヌーに乗せてもらったりショーが始まるまでの時間ものんびり遊びながら過ごせます。食事は照り焼きチキンのようなのは美味しかったです。

My adult daughter and teenage son and I had an amazing time. From the warm welcoming from the hula dancers and music being played to the staff. I had a reserved table with the view of the water. Beautiful set up. The food was delicious and beautiful presentation. Our waiter was very attentive. Enjoyed the dancers/performance and music. The fireworks show from Waikiki because it was on a Friday night was absolutely beautiful while being on the water. The fireworks were okay wished it was more of them but it was nice just the same. I highly recommend this cruise. We went in July 2022

From check in to the end this was well organized. We loved our waiter, how our table was set for us, delicious drinks. The show while we ate our dinner was amazing they did a wonderful job, the music was also pleasant, and dessert was yummy, the view is breathtaking. We went in July so we did not need sweaters of any kind. We did not know if we'd get motion sickness, so we still took some dramamine an hour before and we did just fine. We also loved our picture a memory that we will forever have with us, worth the price!

I was worried about participating since I couldn't speak any English, but the explanations were clear and easy to understand thanks to the use of gestures, allowing for a smooth experience.
Traveling by bus would have taken quite a long time, so we took an Uber from Matsumoto Shave Ice on the North Shore.
The horseback riding lasted about an hour and a half, and there were two local guides for our group of two. They took nearly 50 photos and shared all of them with us for free via AirDrop.
Even as first-time riders, the horses followed the path perfectly. The scenery was beautiful, and it was truly amazing.
全く英語が出来ず心配で参加しましたが、ジェスチャーを交えてわかりやすく説明してくれたため、スムーズに体験することができました。
移動はバスだと時間がかなりかかるため、ノースショアのマツモトシェイブアイスから、Uberで行きました。
乗馬の時間は1時間30分程で、2組に2人の現地のガイドが付いてくれました。写真も50枚近く撮ってくれて、エアドロップで無料で全てくれました。
乗馬初体験の私たちでも、道順通りに馬が乗せてってくれました。景色も良くて本当に最高でした。

I took my parents, brother, aunt and cousin. We all loved the special treatment with the package. The food was above expectations. The views were nice. Loved the fireworks on the Friday night cruise. The music and entertainment was amazing. The young lady who served us was a new trainee and did a wonderful job. The only thing that was a little off putting was the manager’s conversation was a little repetitive throughout the dinner.

We booked a shuttle to and from the Luau and paid for the Standard Package. This set up was perfect. The shuttle boarding was organized, spotless, and new. Our guide filled us in on expectations of the ride and luau. There were funny stories/laughter/entertainment on the bus. The luau was exceptional, professional, very well organized and laid out. Something for everyone. The dancing/singing was fantastic, everyone could see the open air stage from their seats, food was fantastic and lots of it. Drinks were aplenty, beautiful backstage for pictures either by a professional for purchase or your selfie.
I would absolutely take this again and recommend it to everyone!

It was a little too crowded for my liking and the show was lackluster. Overall a bit to touristy for my liking. My daughter did not feel good the entire trip. They do offer you ginger candy if you are nauseous.
The food was really good, as were the cocktails and the views were amazing.
I also loved the professional photographer and we did purchase a beautiful family picture.
So overall mixed reviews.

It was such a beautiful setting much nicer than others I’ve been to. The food was just ok and there was too much pause from the entertainment. They wanted people to spend money at their gift shop and buy a portrait. The band would stop playing during these periods.

Horses, Beach views, and GOATS! This horseback riding trails is one to beat, The staff was super friendly and ready to strike up conversation, the horses are gorgeous and friendly and the view! Nothing beats looking at the shore while on a horse, but most importantly they have these goats that you know are up to no good haha. Definitely will remember the experience and most definitely will be back again when visiting the islands

We had a blast with Morgan driving use around the 900+ acre Gunstock Ranch we saw a see cave, a WWII pill box, beautiful views of the North shore and the East side of the island. Lunch was at a peaceful shaded area on top of the ranch. And we had to try out the tree swing. Did I mention that almost all of the ranch hands are beautiful women. Thank you Gunstock we had a great time.

The grounds are beautiful, but it was just an average experience in our opinion. This luau show itself was low energy and our bus leader was on the over stressed and anxious side. The pre show had all sorts of activities going on that made the experience more enjoyable for anyone with kiddos. The lines for drinks were plentiful and went very well. The buffet food lines seemed to be going in the wrong or opposite direction, as one had to traverse everyone in line with a full plate of food.

My overall experience at this resort was that it was a beautiful place to enjoy and experience laughter, family, love and great music. The resort overall was beautiful sensory with singing and luau dancers dancing next to the ocean. There were items that we didn’t like for example the food. The food was cold and very uncomfortable unclean. What I mean by this is that it was more like a buffet before COVID was established., no one was serving our food and we had to serve ourselves, just a recipe for disaster. Our seating arrangements at the luau were very confusing too, we given a guide to seat us, to sit us by a number system arranged on the tables., with the number of people at this luau their so be a better system on how they seat people for a better experience.
