All Reviews for Romantic Things to Do in Oahu

It was a perfect night on the ocean as it was my wife’s Birthday so I decided to take her on the dinner cruise every thing was perfect , from the Lady and crew who picked us up from the hotel to the cruise staff ,food was great service was great and entertainment was fantastic I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great night out

We all had a great time on the 1.5-hour course. My 9 and 11-year-old kids initially looked a bit anxious, but they got used to it and were very happy along the way. My mother, who is in her late 50s, was also satisfied. The course involved climbing up and down the mountain. Along the way, we had a nice view of the sea. The staff's explanations were in English, but it wasn't a problem at all.

1.5時間コースで家族みんなで楽しめました。
9才と11才の子供達が、最初は不安そうな顔をしてたけど、途中から慣れてきてとても喜んでいました。
50代後半の母も満足していました。
山を登って降りてというコース。
途中、海が見えていい景色でした。
スタッフの方の説明は英語でしたが、問題なかったです。

I came to celebrate my birthday and also have a Romantic tour with my boyfriend. The workers were polite and I loved the horses! We enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend to others to go. Lollipop ( my horse ) a perfect fit for me!

We rode horses in a line, five family members together in the great outdoors. It felt like a scene from a movie and was truly moving. Our 6-year-old child rode a regular horse at the front, guided by a staff member. The other participants walked alone without staff assistance, but the horses were well-trained and followed the horse in front of them properly. However, since the sun was strong, 20 minutes was just the right amount of time. I recommend this experience for families with small children as well as for grandparents!

大自然の中を馬に乗って家族５人1列に並んで歩きました。映画のワンシーンのようで感動でした。
6歳の子どもも普通の馬に乗り、一番前でスタッフが引っ張ってくれます。その他の人はスタッフは付かず一人で歩きますが、お馬さんがしつけられていて前の馬の後をきちんとついて歩きます。
ただ日差し強いので20分でちょうど良かったです。
小さいお子さん連れにもおじいちゃんとおばあちゃん連れにもオススメします！

Everyone was very kind, and we had a great time as a family. We got completely soaked in a sudden downpour, and it turned into a funny story as we bought clothes at Patagonia on the way home! Next time, I want to come back for a sunny day revenge!

とても親切で家族で楽しめました。
突然の豪雨に笑いが止まらないほどびしょ濡れで、帰りにパタゴニアで、服を買って帰るような笑い話！
今度は、晴天でリベンジしたい！

I wanted to experience horseback riding in Hawaii, and after comparing it with other riding clubs, I chose this one because it was close to the center of the North Shore. I took an Uber, but I think I made a mistake with the pin placement and initially arrived at the neighboring building, which made me anxious. A kind driver and the people next door helped me get to the correct building!

Before riding, you receive a briefing from the staff. Everything is in English, but there is a Japanese explanation in the waiting room, so it's not a problem if you can't understand English. The horses are smart, cute, and accustomed to people.

During the ride, a staff member led the way, and we had a mix of sturdy horses, unique horses, and those with hearty appetites. The horse in the middle seemed to be the cute surprise element! We enjoyed the scenery as we alternated between walking along the North Shore coastline and through the forest. It was my first time walking by the sea on horseback, and I was thrilled.

Since it was a leisurely stroll, those who want to gallop might find it a bit lacking. However, riding such smart and adorable horses while occasionally feeling the North Shore breeze is fantastic! On the way back along the coast, the staff member took photos for us with our smartphones. All the staff were very kind.

A note of caution: the time we visited was unusually humid for Hawaii, so it felt extremely hot. It's better to hydrate before and after riding, so bringing drinks or buying them at a supermarket in the North Shore is advisable. There are no supermarkets around the ranch. (They were selling carbonated drinks in the waiting room, but water was sold out.)

I called an Uber for the return trip, but it's a spot where Wi-Fi is hard to connect. You need to walk a little to a place with signal. Don't panic; it will work out! Make sure to keep your Wi-Fi and smartphone charged! Prepare in advance!

There are restrooms available. I was worried because I read reviews saying there were none, but there are restrooms. However, they are portable toilets like those found at construction sites or outdoor festivals. Since there are no shops around, I thought it was worth mentioning for those who might be concerned about restroom access.

You cannot ride with large luggage (you can leave your belongings in the waiting room, which has surveillance cameras, so it's safe), so it's a good idea to have one person carry a smartphone (to use when taking photos with the staff by the seaside). In that case, a body bag or waist pouch that doesn't hinder riding would be convenient!

ハワイで乗馬体験がしたくて、他の乗馬クラブとも比較した結果、車でノースショアの中心部から近かったこちらにしました。
ウーバーで行きましたがピンの立て方を間違えたのか最初はお隣の建物に着き、焦りました。親切なドライバーさんとお隣さんが、こちらの建物まで無事にアテンドしてくれました！
乗馬前はスタッフからレクチャーを受けられます。全て英語ですが、待合室で日本語の解説があるので英語が聞き取れなくても問題ありません。
馬たちはお利口さんで可愛くて、人に慣れています。
道中は、スタッフのお姉さんが先頭になり、よりしっかりした馬、個性的な馬、食欲旺盛な馬、しっかりした馬の順番でした。真ん中に配置された馬は可愛いハプニング要員だったみたいです^_^
ノースショアの海岸沿いと森の中を交互に散歩する感じで景色を楽しめました。海沿いを馬と歩くなんて人生初なので感激しました。
終始、お散歩なので駆け足をしたい方は物足りないかもしれません。

でも賢くてかわいい馬に乗せてもらって、ノースショアの風を時折感じられるのは最高です！
帰り道の海岸沿いで、お姉さんにスマホで写真も撮ってもらえます。スタッフのお姉さん達は皆さん親切な人でした。

注意点として
私達の行った時期が、ハワイにしては多湿だったので体感温度はめちゃくちゃ暑かったです。乗る前後に水分補給した方がよいので、飲み物は持参もしくは、ノースショアのスーパーで買ってきた方がベターです。牧場なので周囲にスーパーはありません。（こちらの待合室で炭酸系のジュースは販売してましたが、お水は売り切れていました）

帰りもウーバーを呼びましたが、Wi-Fiが入りにくい場所です。電波の届くところまでほんのちょっとだけ歩きます。何とかなるので慌てずに！
Wi-Fi、スマホの充電は切らさないように！事前に準備を！

トイレはあります。口コミでトイレがないとあり不安でしたが、ありました。ただし、工事現場や野外フェスティバルにあるような仮設トイレです。
周囲にお店がないのでトイレの心配する人がいるかもしれないと思ったので情報として入れておきます。

大きな荷物で乗馬することはできない（荷物は待合室に置いておけます、監視カメラが付いてるので大丈夫）ので、スマホ（海辺でスタッフさんに撮影してもらう時に使う）を持ち歩く人を一名は作るといいと思います。その際はボディバッグやウエストポーチ等、乗馬の妨げにならないショルダーバッグがあると便利ですよ！

When we were riding horses, the four of us were quite excited. However, by the time we finished riding and returned, everyone seemed tired. My father and husband, who just turned 70, got off the horse saying their knees hurt and walked in a rather strange way. My 9-year-old and 10-year-old daughters and my nephew simply said they were sleepy.

As I listened to them, it seemed they felt sleepy because they were walking at the same pace through similar scenery. Additionally, the uncles were in the same position and at the same pace, which seemed to have taken a toll on their legs and back. They mentioned that the horseback riding experience on the Big Island of Hawaii was better. What a shame...

馬乗った時は興奮気味の4人でした。
しかし、乗馬が終わり戻ってきた時には、みんな疲れている感じでした。
70歳を迎えた父と夫は、膝が痛い！といいながら馬からおりてなんか不思議な歩き方を。
9歳と10歳の娘と甥っ子は、眠かった、、と一言。

話を聞いていると、同じような景色ばかりの中を同じペースでパカパカ歩くので、眠かったようです。また、おじさんたちは同じ姿勢で同じペースで、、ということで足腰にきていたようです。
以前体験した、ハワイ島の乗馬の方がいいわ、、ということでした。
残念。。。

Since my youngest daughter, who is 3 years old, also wanted to experience horseback riding like her older sister, I assumed it would be a pony riding experience and made the reservation. However, among the horses lined up for the riding experience, there were no ponies. I thought they might be preparing them, but instead, everyone was riding horses of similar size... Let's ride!!

After the experience, we got to brush the horse's fur and feed them, and that was the end of it. It seems like she had a lot of fun.

乗馬体験同じように、下の娘3歳も体験したいとのことだったので、ポニー乗馬体験、 と思い込んで申し込み。
乗馬体験の馬が並んでいる中に、ポニーがいない。今から準備かな？と思っていたら、みんな同じような大きさの馬に…Let's riding!!
体験後は、くしで馬の毛をとかしてもらい、エサを与えさせてもらい、終了でした。
とても楽しかったみたいです。

The excitement was heightened with a limousine pickup, and we received a wonderful welcome on board. We enjoyed delicious meals while watching the best entertainment. The captain, the interpreter, and all the crew members congratulated us. Since it was Friday night, we also got to see fireworks, making it worth every penny.

リムジンのお迎えでテンション上げられて
船上では素敵なお出迎え
最高のエンターテイメントを観ながらの美味しい食事
キャプテンや通訳さん クルーの方みんながおめでとうって祝福してくれて
金曜の夜なので花火も見れてお値段以上でした

The captain's presence during the vow renewal was a wonderful memory. The location at the bow with Diamond Head in the background added a special touch.

Of course, the three-star plan on the Star of Honolulu was great on its own. I had originally planned to purchase the commemorative photo with the special logo, and I wanted to secure a private seat by the window. I also wanted a bottle of wine to enjoy at my own pace, so I felt it was a great value package tour.

To Veltra, it’s a bit difficult to find the vow renewal option from the one-day wedding section, so it would be helpful if you could add a vow renewal option in the sidebar. Right now, it’s clear that the vow renewal is part of the one-day wedding, but the image of one-day wedding equals wedding is too strong...

船長立ち合いによるバウリニューアルはとても良い思い出となりました。
場所も船首で背景にダイアモンドヘッドと特別感がありました。

勿論、スターオブホノルル号の３スタープラン単体も良かったです。
特性ロゴ入り記念写真も元々購入する予定でしたし、
窓際プライベート席の確保もしたかったし、
自分のタイミングで飲むためにもワインも１本欲しかったので、
お得なパッケージツアーだと感じました。

ベルトラさんへ
１日挙式の項目からバウリニューアルにたどり着きにくいので
サイドバーにバウリニューアルを用意して頂けると助かります。
今だとバウリニューアルも１日挙式だと分かるのですが、
１日挙式＝結婚式のイメージが強すぎるので・・・。

In Japan, I was able to immerse myself in the magnificent nature, forgetting the time while feeling the pleasant sunlight and breeze. It was an incredibly happy time, and my mother, who joined me, was very satisfied as well. My father, an experienced rider, participated in the advanced course and was also thrilled with horseback riding in Hawaii's stunning nature. Most importantly, I was overjoyed to see my 2-year-old son experience horseback riding for the first time during the 20-minute introductory course, which made me feel his growth. My wife, who had said she might ride if our son couldn't, ultimately didn't get to ride, but she was satisfied watching our son on the horse. Thanks to the very friendly staff, we had the best time.

日本では身を置くことができない雄大な自然の中で、時間を忘れて気持ちの良い日差しと風を感じることができました。それはとにかく幸せな時間で、一緒に参加した母も大満足でした。また、経験者である父が上級者コースに参加しましたが、父もハワイの雄大な自然の中での乗馬に大満足していましたし、何と言っても20分の体験コースで生まれて初めて乗馬を体験した2才の息子の姿を見て、成長を感じられたことが何よりも嬉しかったです。息子が乗れなかったら乗ればいいかなと言っていた妻は、結果的に乗ることができませんでしたが、息子の乗馬姿に満足していましたし、とっても感じの良いスタッフのおかげで最高の時間を過ごすことができました。

Staff were very welcoming from the very start of the cruise and the night just got better. Great food and fantastic entertainment. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. Would totally recommend to everyone. Wonderful way to celebrate my birthday.

The sunset was gorgeous and service very good. Food was fine, entertainment ok.

This was an amazing experience! I went with a group of friends and we all loved the environment of the cruise ship. The food was pretty amazing and the live jazz performance was very enjoyable. My favorite was definitely the Polynesian live dance performance. This 30-minute performance was the highlight of the night. The dancers wouldn't just perform, they would interact with the audience by giving high fives, springing peace signs at unexpected times and made our corner of the ship laugh the entire time. If you get seasick easily, I would recommend taking some kind of precaution/medication (the servers were able to provide some medication, too) since a few of my friends did start feeling queasy for a little bit and had to spend some time on the lower deck. However, don't let motion sickness keep you from the cruise! It was still altogether wonderful time.

I booked a vow renewal course for my parents.

The food was delicious (especially the steak), and the vow renewal words spoken by the captain were truly wonderful.

It was rare for it to rain all day in Hawaii, and I was worried if the boat would go out, but I participated and was very satisfied. If anyone mentions wanting to see a dinner show in Hawaii in the future, I will definitely recommend this to my friends.

両親のバウリニューアルコースで予約しました。

ご飯も美味しかったですし(ステーキが特に)、船長が言ってくれるバウリニューアルの誓い言葉もほんと素敵でした。

ハワイでは珍しく雨が一日中降っていて船でるかなぁーと心配していましたが参加してとても満足です。
今後ハワイでディナーショーを見たいと言われたら友人などに必ずオススメします。

The guides were great - took very good care of us, kept us at a great pace, very knowledgeable of the land and horses. The scenery was fantastic - walked along the shoreline of the beach. The horses were well-behaved - easy to direct, very sweet! Two adults, three middle school children who had never ridden before - very family-friendly...we had a great time!

The sunset dinner was truly a great experience. Everything was very well organized. We were served champagne to begin with and helped ourselves to fresh cheese, crackers and fruit trays. And those were left out for everyone the entire trip, which is beneficial when you have kids who might not like the whole dinner but still want to eat something. The entire dinner was fresh and tasty, and plentiful. Beverages were refilled as necessary but there weren't a lot of soda options. The sunset was beautiful. You just have to keep watch for the ideal time to take pictures of your experience. The entertainment was great, with music and dancers. Great experience overall!!

Meal was so wonderful! Even the veggie hamburger provided us was wonderful!
The dancers were so amazing! And entertaining! Entertained to well past docking!
If I had a suggestion it would be for the website to further explain, or make it easier to order the veggie burger.

I took an Uber to get there.
From the road, I could see a green-roofed waiting area with several chairs and a table that had a simple guide in Japanese on how to ride.
There were only me and my daughter, a white man, and a cute girl who guided us, making a total of three people.
We enjoyed a leisurely horseback ride through the fields and North Shore.
Sometimes the horse would stop to eat grass or urinate, which was also fun.
We thoroughly enjoyed 90 minutes on the North Shore.
If you're expecting a fast-paced ride, it might feel a bit lacking, but if you want to relax and enjoy, it's perfect.
Since there were no other Japanese people in the later group, it felt very Hawaiian.
I was a bit anxious because the Uber driver who brought us said it would be difficult to get an Uber back, but I was able to ride after waiting for 20 minutes.
I think it's a bit far from Waikiki, but I highly recommend this horseback riding experience.

ウーバーに乗って行きました
道路から見える緑色の屋根が待合室で椅子が何客かありテーブルに日本語で書かれた簡単な乗り方の説明書が置いてありました
日本人は私と娘だけで白人の男性一人で計三人で可愛い女の子がガイドしてくれました
野原、ノースショアをとことこ乗馬して
たまに馬が草を食べて動かなくなったりオシッコしたりで脱線しますがそれも楽しかったです
90分たっぷりノースショアを堪能しました
走る乗馬を期待している方は物足りないかもしれませんがのんびり楽しみたいなら最高です
後発のグループも日本人がいなかったのでハワイ感がありました
帰りのウーバーを期待するのむずかしいと
乗せて来てくれたウーバーの運転主が言っていたので不安でしたが20分待ってのることが出来ました
ワイキキからはちょっと遠いとは思いますが
とってもお勧めの乗馬です

There are few activities that small children can do, and this place has a calm atmosphere with fewer people. The staff was kind, and we were able to enjoy it as a family. Even those who don't ride can walk alongside, allowing for photos during the ride. It became a wonderful memory, spending time exclusively as a family rather than in a group like at places such as Kualoa Ranch.

小さな子供ができる数少ないアクティビティで人も少なくゆっくりとした雰囲気でスタッフの方も優しくて家族で楽しむことが出来ました。乗馬しない方も歩いて付き添う事が出来るので乗馬中の写真なども撮ることができます。クアロアランチのように団体で、ではなく家族オンリーの時間を過ごす事ができる素敵な思い出になりました。

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It lasted about 1 hour and 15 minutes, I think. I was horseback riding. I was able to have a dynamic and refreshing ride while walking along the sea of the North Shore. However, the course and the order of walking are predetermined, so it might be a bit unsatisfying for those who are experienced in horseback riding. Nevertheless, you can still ride at breathtaking viewpoints.

十分過ぎるほど堪能しました。1時間15分くらいかな？乗馬してました。ノースショアの海の横を歩きながらダイナミックでさわやかな乗馬が出来ました。どうしても決められたコース、歩く順番も決められてるので、乗馬慣れしている方には物足りないかもしれません。ですがそれにも負けない、絶景ポイントで乗馬出来ますよ。

The food was exceptional especially considering the number of people being served. The staff was polite and very accommodating. The young entertainers interacted with the crowd and performed in their traditional attire. We came back to the port with a bang, singing and dancing. I would definitely recommend this cruise. My only disappointment was that the harbor/tower area used to be filled with shops. It was our last night on the island and it would have been nice to purchase those last minute sovereigns. Now it’s just empty with a few eateries.

This was a GREAT sunset cruise - food was good, drinks were good (and they did not even make you give in your drink tickets so not trying to get more out of you) and the show was good.

Just one thing to improve upon:
1. Seating took way too long. You know who is coming so you should have assigned seating and it should be really quick - not making people stand in stairwell for 20 minutes just to get seated

The Star of Honolulu sunset cruise, was awesome! My husband surprised me with the dinner cruise to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Once on board, we met and had a picture taken with the Captain. We visited with some of the staff, they were fascinated that we were American Indians. Once the cruise set off, appetizers were served and it was the beginning of the amazing 7 course dinner. Each course was better than the previous dish served. The serving staff were fantastic, took care of any needs or questions we had. The entertainment was extraordinary, from the piano player, Hawaiian dancers to the beautiful singer at the end. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend this to anyone who wants to do something very special for any occasion.

From the moment that we first interacted with staff at the shuttle bus pick-up, the whole package was seamless. Staff made the bus ride and boarding so easy that we just had to be swept along and enjoy the experience. The management on the boat was also superb, but kept personal. The Friday night fireworks just completed a beautiful night.

The staff seemed unable to speak Japanese, but instructions were provided in Japanese, so there was no need to worry about the language barrier. The horses were well-trained and walked straight even for complete beginners. I chose this place because you can start riding from the age of eight. The staff kindly took family photos and individual pictures while we were riding, which made for a great keepsake.

スタッフは日本語が話せないようでしたが説明書などが日本語で用意されていて言葉の不安は不要でした。
馬は良く調教されていてまったくの初心者でも真っ直ぐに歩いてくれます。
８歳から乗馬できるのでここにしました。
スタッフも親切に乗馬をしている家族写真や単独写真を撮ってくれて、良い記念になりました。

Food service was somewhat quick, but understandable and good. Drinks did take some time and got confusing but the wait staff remembered and was very organized. Bartender could have used more help or another bartender to handle the people capacity. Overall great service and wonderful show!

Definitely a 5-star, money well spent experience at the premium top deck! From the service, music, accomodations, food to the beautiful sights!

The oldest participant was 69 years old, and the youngest was 2 years old. We were looking for activities that everyone could enjoy, and we requested this horseback riding experience. The local staff do not speak Japanese, but they are friendly and kind, using gestures to communicate, so I think even those who are not good at English will be fine.

First, they asked if we wanted to wear helmets, and if we chose not to, we were asked to sign a consent form. Then, under the guidance of Sheina, my 2-year-old daughter rode a pony while the adults rode larger horses, taking a leisurely 20-minute walk in a single file through the grasslands and bushes. The horses ridden by the adults would sometimes stop to eat grass, so we had to kick the stirrups to encourage them to move forward, or pull the reins to bring them back into line if they started to walk too fast. It was a very valuable experience to operate the horse by ourselves for the first time.

At the end, my daughter was allowed to brush and feed the pony she was riding, and she was overjoyed (laughs). Even after returning home, she keeps talking about the pony (laughs). The only downside is that there is no transportation provided, so we had to make our own way to the North Shore. However, since we really wanted to go to Gunstock Ranch, we decided to charter a guided car and combine it with a tour of Haleiwa.

The grounds are vast, and the scenery seen while riding the horses is incredibly beautiful. The pleasant breeze and climate were very soothing. I would like to visit again when I come to Hawaii.

最年長は69歳、最年少は2歳、みんなでできるアクティビティーを探していてこちらの乗馬体験をお願いしました。
現地の方は日本語が話せないのですが、フレンドリーで親切な身振り手振りで教えてくれるので英語が苦手な方でも大丈夫だと思います。
最初にヘルメットをかぶるか聞かれて、かぶらない場合は同意書にサインを求められます。
そしてシェイナさんの先導で2歳の娘はポニー、大人は大きな馬に乗って草原や茂みを約20分一列縦隊でお散歩するのですが、大人の乗る馬は途中で草を食べ始めたり止まったりするので、その都度あぶみを蹴って前進を促したり、逆に早足になったら手綱を引いて列に戻るよう促したりと、自分で馬を操作するなんて初めてのとても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
最後は2歳の娘が乗っていたポニーにブラッシングやえさやりをさせてくれて、娘は大喜び（笑）帰国してもずっとポニーの話をしています（笑）
唯一の難点は、送迎がないのでノースショア方面まで自分で行かなければいけないことですが、どうしてもガンストック牧場でお願いしたかったのでガイド付きの車をチャーターしてハレイワ観光とセットで行くことにしました。
敷地が広大で馬に乗って見る景色は大変美しく、心地よい風と気候で癒されました。またハワイに訪れる際は立ち寄りたいと思います。

Greeter was courteous, polite, thoughtful and professional.
Leis were beautiful.
Great start to a week on the Beach at the North Shore.
