All Reviews for Romantic Things to Do in Oahu

Wonderful evening on the Star of Honolulu! Entertainment & music was fantastic! A huge thank you to all the entertainers, staff, musicians, crew & captain of the ship! Our wait staff, Nicole was exceptional! They all made our evening memorable!

I don't like being told how much to write or to do so at all. The cruise was fine

You can go horseback riding in the great nature of Hawaii, even as a beginner. The scenery is wonderful, and I was truly moved.

The guide was very kind and attentive.

I recommend scheduling a morning horseback ride that allows you to plan for an afternoon drive with a rental car.

ハワイの大自然の中を初心者でも乗馬できます。景色も素晴らしく、感動しました。

ガイドさんもとても優しく、丁寧です。

レンタカーでのドライブと、午後からの予定も組める午前中の乗馬をおすすめします。

Great food and entertainment, staff was very friendly and service was excellent

My family and I had a great time with star of Honolulu!! Tyler was great in serving us and he was always making sure we were all fine!!!
For me , this activity is a must to do every time we come to Oahu!!!

I was able to ride horses privately, so I received instruction that matched my level. Additionally, the lunch at the mountain top was excellent in both food and view. The view from the handmade swing was also exceptional!

プライベートで乗馬出来たので、レベルにあった指導をして頂けました。また、山頂での昼食は、料理、眺めが最高でした。また、手作りブランコから見る眺めも格別でした！

Our famiy group of 9 arrived at HNL airport after a 9 hour flight from Minnesota. It was very special to be met by our 2 friendly greeters in their purple shirts. It was the first visit to Hawaii for several in our group and the traditional lei greeting was essential. The flowers were beautiful and the women’s leis were full and fragrant. The leaves in the men’s leis were a striking contrast to the flowers. The greeters were very helpful in taking our picture and guiding us to baggage and rental cars. I’m glad I arranged this special event for my family.

Total package from online reservation, round-trip Transportation, LARGE SHIP, meal, entertainment & position of ship for Friday Night Fireworks over Waikiki, panoramic views of Waikiki, & stunning sunset, easily 5 STARS. Must Do Activity.

I rode along the coastline and through the farms for about an hour, and it was quite beautiful. My 9-year-old son said it was his best memory. The staff took photos from both the mountain side and the seaside. The staff only spoke English, but I think it was manageable. After riding the horse, they explained how to control it in English. There were no Japanese customers. We went by rental car. The next day, I had muscle soreness in my back and the soles of my feet. The horses have different personalities; mine was a gentle horse named Amy, while my son's horse tried to eat grass right away, but in the end, he was able to control it well.

一時間ぐらいかな海岸線と農場をゆっくり乗馬、かなり綺麗です。
9歳の息子も一番の思い出だそうです
山側と海側でスタッフが写真を撮ってくれます
スタッフは英語のみです、でもどうにかなると思います
馬に乗った後に英語でどう制御するのかを説明してくれました
日本人の客はいませんでした

次の日に背筋と足の裏に筋肉痛
馬は色んな性格の子がいます、私のはエイミーおっとりとしたいい子でした、息子の馬は直ぐに草を食べようとする子でしたが最後は上手に制御出来てました

Amazing experience!! The food, service, setting and ambiance is outstanding. Highly recommend and do the 7 course meal, so worth it!!

The ride was good. None of us have ever ridden a horse on the beach, so it was a new experience. I haven't spent more than 20 minutes on a horse before this, more than a decade ago, so it was almost all new to me. We liked how the leader stopped us on the beach and took nice photos of us to remember the ride. The reason I didn't give a perfect score was that I think the leader of the ride needed to be more aware of the riding skill of the people she was leading and give advice on how to improve instead of just telling us what not to do.

I could not be more pleased with my experience on the Star of Honolulu for our vow renewal! The entire experience was flawless from the captain and his beautiful words to the fireworks over the beach at the end. Only two suggestions or pieces of information for others considering this... 1) the three-star experience is not air conditioned and if you are there in July like we were, be prepared to sweat! 2) no children's menu so if you have a picky little one like I do, bring kid-friendly snacks

Before boarding ship, performers played fura dance, they made good moody.
This dinner was very good for me, especially I likeed roasted beef!
I enjoyed performance by singer and dancer, so I could join the teaching fura dance.
Of course, I could take a picture behind sunset on horizon.
Finally they celebrated us about honeymoon.

I participated with my 4-year-old child. The tour guide accompanied my child for horseback riding, which made us feel secure. Both my child and I had a great time.

4歳の子供と参加しました。
子供にはツアーの人が付き添いで乗馬をしてもらい安心して参加できました。
子供も私も大変楽しかったです。

Although we hadn't registered our marriage yet, we wanted to have a ceremony during our wonderful trip to Hawaii, and it became an unforgettable memory. With the captain's presence, we pledged our love to each other, and it felt very sacred, allowing us to reaffirm our feelings for one another. The staff who escorted us were also very kind and accommodating. Thank you very much. I thought it would be nice to participate again in five or ten years.

入籍はまだでしたがせっかくのハワイ旅行中に式を挙げたかったので最高に良い思い出になりました。
船長さんの立ち会いで愛を誓い合い、とても神聖な気持ちになり
お互いの気持ちを再確認する事ができました。
エスコートしてくれたスタッフの方もとても親切に対応してくださいました。
有り難うございました。
５年後、１０年後、又、参加したいなと思いました。

We loved it! Show was so good and the performers were amazing and so attentive. Highly recommend!!!

The staff, who understand a little Japanese, were kind and taught us well. We were able to ride horses between the beach and the trees on the North Shore, and the duration was long enough for us to fully enjoy it. The weather was great, making it a perfect day!

日本語は少し通じるスタッフが優しく 教えてくださいます。
ノースショアの海辺と 木々の間も 乗馬出来て
しかも時間も 長いので充分満喫出来ました。
天気もよく 最高な日になりました！

When inexperienced riders go horseback riding in Japan, there are often people pulling the reins beside them, but here, the ranch staff leads the way on horseback, forming a line and taking about 1.5 hours to tour the ranch. There were many amusing incidents, such as the horses bumping into each other, starting to eat grass, and needing to relieve themselves, which made it enjoyable. Among the six customers, we were the only Japanese.

日本で未経験者が乗馬となると、オーバルコースで横に手綱を引く人がいたり、だと思いますが、ここでは牧場スタッフが騎乗した馬を先頭に、隊列を組んで1.5時間かけて牧場内を回ります。
乗馬した馬同士でどつきあったり、草を食べ始めたり、用をたしたりのハプニングが多数あって、楽しめました。
6人のお客のうち、日本人は私達だけでした。

I participated with my wife.
The location is quite far out on the North Shore, so renting a car is essential.
We don't use Uber, so I'm not sure how frequently it operates in the area.

There were seven participants, including us.
We were the only two Japanese people.

After checking in, there was a briefing for about five minutes, and then we got right on the horses.
The check-in and briefing were all in English, but the content was simple.
It included instructions like which way to pull the reins to steer and to stand up when the horse needs to relieve itself.
Even if you can't catch everything in English, you'll receive a printed notice in Japanese at the beginning, so as long as you memorize that, you'll be fine.

Now, regarding the horseback riding experience, after riding a bit on the ranch, we took a course along the beach.
Since it was along the beach, there was quite a bit of dust kicked up by the horses, and depending on the wind direction, it could get pretty white in front of you.
However, the view of the North Shore from the horse's back was extraordinary and the best part of the experience.

At the rest point, the guide took a lot of photos, leaving us with many memories of the trip.
We were lucky enough to see a rainbow, but unfortunately, the sunset wasn't very beautiful due to a lot of clouds. The guide also mentioned that it was disappointing, but clouds can't be controlled (laughs).

We returned to the office at 7:30 PM.
We were on horseback for a full hour and a half.
Although the accessibility from Waikiki isn't great, the special experience of riding along the beach is something you can't find elsewhere.

As of June 16, 2018, when I printed the voucher from Veltra, it mentioned that the parking lot was at the far left of the arena after entering the main gate, and that the gate should be closed after entering. However, in reality, the entrance to the horseback riding check-in office was at the next gate without entering the main gate.

妻と参加しました。
場所はノースショアのかなり外れの方にあるのでレンタカー必須です。
私たちはUberを使っていないのでこの近辺でUberがどの程度走っているのかはわかりません。

私たち含めて参加者は7名。
日本人は私たち2名だけでした。

受付をすませて時間になると5分程度のブリーフィングを行なってすぐに馬に乗り込みます。
なお受付、ブリーフィングは全て英語ですが簡単な内容です。
方向を決めるには手綱をどっちに引けとか、馬が用をたす時は立てだとか。
またもし英語が聞けそうになくても最初に日本語の注意書きのプリントを渡されるのでその内容を覚えてしまえば大丈夫です。

さて肝心の乗馬体験は牧場敷地を少し乗った後ビーチ沿いのコースを乗りました。ビーチ沿いなので馬が歩くとかなり砂埃が舞うので風向きによっては結構目の前が真っ白なんて事もありました。
でも馬の背からみるノースショアの景色は非日常感を味わえて最高でした。

休憩ポイントではガイドさんが写真をたくさん撮ってくださり旅の思い出がたくさん残りました。
私たちは運良く虹を見ることができましたが、夕日については残念ながら雲が沢山あったのであまり綺麗ではありませんでした。こればかりはガイドさんも残念だけど雲はコントロールできないと言ってました(笑)

オフィスに帰ってきたのは19時30分。
なんとたっぷり1時間30分も馬の背に乗ってました。
ワイキキからのアクセス性が悪いけど、ビーチ沿いを乗馬できるという特別感は他ではなかなか味わえないと思います。

ベルトラさんのバウチャーをプリントした2018/6/16現在、駐車場はメインゲートを入って競技場を左端まで行ったところ、更にゲートは入場後閉めてくださいと記載されていましたが、実際はメインゲートを入らずに次のゲートまで車を走らせたところの入り口(ゲート無し)が乗馬受付オフィスでした。

Great food, great service. The only thing I might add is to provide something to crack open the lobster

This was a last minute thing that we decided to do - and we're sure glad that we did.
Was a great night with good food and good entertainment to follow. Rose was our server and what a fantastic job she did, she had a number of tables to look after (as servers do over there) yet she gave intimate tables of two just as much as large group tables.
Overall a well run experience from pickup to drop off couldn't fault it at all

Entertainment was great. There was always something going on if you don't be careful you will miss the sunrise. I was beautiful.

We went for my daughter's graduation, we had a great time. The food was ok, but the performances and audience involvement made up for it. My kids really enjoyed it! The sunset was amazing!!! This is a must do activity.

I went horseback riding for the first time in Hawaii, and the staff were very kind, and the horses were adorable. The beach was less crowded, allowing me to enjoy a different atmosphere compared to Waikiki, which was great. There was also a photo time, and I was able to take some wonderful pictures.

ハワイ で初めて乗馬をしましたが、スタッフの方もとても親切で馬も可愛かったです。海も、人が少なくてワイキキとは違った雰囲気を楽しめて良かったです。写真タイムもあって、素敵な写真を撮っていただきました。

The weather wasn't perfectly clear, but my first experience riding on the beach was absolutely wonderful. The horse was very trusting of people, so I felt comfortable riding even without any riding skills. The dog at the club was very cute.

The reason I didn't give it a 5-star rating is that I was told the riding time would be 90 minutes, but it ended up being just under 80 minutes. Also, the club's restroom was clogged, and I couldn't use it beforehand.

Other than that, it was a very good experience.

天気は快晴ではありませんでしたが、初めての砂浜での乗馬はとても素晴らしかったです。
馬はとても人を信頼していて、乗馬スキルがなくても安心して乗ることが出来ました。クラブにいた犬がとても可愛かったです。

★5ではないのは、乗馬時間が90分と聞いていましたが、80分弱で終わってしまったからです。
また、クラブのトイレが詰まっており、事前にトイレに行くことが出来ませんでした。

それ以外はとても良い体験でした。

We made an internet reservation on-site with three guys who got along well. It was all of our first time horseback riding, but we had an incredibly fun time unique to Hawaii. Everything from check-in to the explanations was in English. If that's okay with you, there are no problems at all. I highly recommend it.

気の合うメンズ3人で現地インターネット予約。3人とも初めての乗馬でしたが、ハワイならではのサイコーに楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。受付から説明、何もかも英語オンリーです。その点オッケーならば全く問題ナシ。おすすめです。

Watching the sun set was beautiful! The entertainment and food was good, especially the unlimited crab legs.

Only comment for improvement would be the food and the entertainment. Seemed that it was better when I went 5 years ago. There was a larger variety of food as well as more talented entertainment

The weather wasn't very good, starting off with a cloudy sky and occasional light rain. The participants were just the two of us and a young couple from abroad, making four in total. Before we began, we were asked to read and sign a simple agreement written in Japanese. The staff helped us choose our horses, and each of us received a brief explanation on how to ride and handle the reins before being placed on the horses.

All the conversations were in English, so I could somewhat understand, but I missed the finer details and just relied on observation and body language. Suddenly, the staff led us in a line, and we started. We quickly began walking along the coastal path. After walking on the sandy ground for a while, we moved onto some grassy areas. The pace was slow, but there were moments where we suddenly accelerated on slight inclines, which was interesting.

While on the grass, my horse started eating the surrounding grass as we walked, and it was a bit challenging to get it to stop. I think it was mentioned in the initial instructions, but I wish I had read it more carefully. After walking for a while, we stopped on flat ground for a commemorative photo. The staff took many pictures with our smartphones.

We then returned the way we came, but the horse of the foreign couple's female rider seemed a bit excited and suddenly started running and rearing up, which made her a little scared. We changed the order of the horses and brought that horse behind the staff, but it still didn't work out. In the end, we called for a replacement horse, and while waiting, we took more commemorative photos on the beach. By that time, the sun was beginning to set, and I thought how beautiful the sunset by the sea would have been if the weather had been nice. We waited for nearly 20 minutes in the dark.

The replacement horse arrived safely, and we headed back. Due to the incident, our horseback riding session lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes. The couple seemed fine as they were conversing in English, but I worried a bit about what would have happened if it had been us, as we wouldn't have been able to communicate. However, the staff handled the situation calmly, so it might be a common occurrence. The only disappointment was the weather, but the horseback riding itself was very enjoyable, and I would love to try it again when the weather is nice.

天気があまりよくなくて曇り空～時々小雨がぱらつく中でのスタートでした。
参加者は私たち夫婦と外国の若いカップルの4人。
始まる前に同意書など簡単な説明が日本語で書いてあるものを読まされサイン。スタッフがそれぞれの馬を選んでくれて一人ずつ
乗り方と簡単な手綱の扱い方の説明を受けていきなり馬に乗せられました。
すべて会話は英語なので何となく理解はできましたが細かいことはわからずただただ見様見真似とボディランゲージで・・
いきなりスタッフ先頭で4人が一列になってスタート。
すぐに海岸の道を歩き始めます。しばらく砂地を歩いたら少し中のほうの草地を歩いたり・・歩くのはゆっくりですが少し坂になっているところなどは急に加速したり変化があり面白かったです。
草地では馬が歩きながら周りの草を食べてしまいそれをやめさせるように扱うのが少し難しかったです。最初の説明書に書いてあったような気がするのですがもっとちゃんと読んでおけばよかった^^;
しばらく歩いて平らなところで記念撮影。スタッフが私たちのスマホでたくさん写真を撮ってくれます。
そこからまた来た道を戻りましたが、外人カップルの女性の馬が少し興奮気味？で急に走り出したり前足上げて立ち上がったりしてしまって
その女の子も少し怖がっていたようです。歩く順番を変えてスタッフの次にその馬を持ってきましたが、やはりだめで最後は電話連絡して代わりの馬を連れてきてもらい交代。待っている間浜辺でまた記念撮影、そのころもう日が沈みかけていたので天気が良ければきっと海辺のサンセットがきれいだったんだろうな。。と思いながら暗闇の中20分近く待っていました。
無事に代わりの馬が来て帰路に。。アクシデントがあったので１時間45分の乗馬になりました。彼女たちは英語で会話していたので大丈夫そうでしたがもし私たちのほうだったら言葉が通じないのでどうなっていたか少し心配になりましたが、スタッフは落ち着いて対応していたのでよくあることなのかもしれません。天気だけが残念でしたが乗馬自体はとても面白く、また天気が良い時に乗ってみたいと思いました。

You can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere since it's not crowded. Walking along the coast feels very nice. It's a homely atmosphere at the riding club.

空いててゆったりと楽しめます。
海沿いを歩くのでとても気持ちいいです。
アットホームな雰囲気の乗馬クラブです。
