Oahu
Great food, excellent view. Wonderful entertainment! Worth the price.
I rode at Sweetheart for two days on July 11 and 12 (the canter course was an additional $10). It takes about two hours to get there from Ala Moana by The Bus. There were a lot of children, possibly because Hawaii's schools are on summer break. When we arrived, there was no one at the reception. After informing a wandering person that we had a reservation, a staff member came out, and we signed a waiver before preparing the horses. The four of us enjoy riding outside both domestically and internationally, so we came here intending to gallop. As expected, we were able to ride at speeds of 40 km or more. However, I think it's important to inform the guide about the speed you are comfortable with, as it can be dangerous if you haven't experienced this level of speed beforehand. The canter within the riding club is limited to about 20 km, which feels like shifting from third to fourth gear in a car. We had lunch on a hill overlooking the North Shore, but the lunch box in the horse's saddle pocket got all mixed up due to the up-and-down vibrations. On the second day, we decided not to bring lunch and ate after returning. Also, the stirrups are often too long for Japanese riders, so if they don't fit, it's important to adjust them (or switch to a child’s saddle if adjustments aren't possible) to avoid falling off during canter or gallop. I believe it's better to communicate, even in broken English, regarding speed and other matters, as accidents are the rider's responsibility. Compared to riding in Japan, the sense of freedom is completely different, making it an excellent ranch for those who want to ride fast. (The walking course is just for walking, and the canter course is optional.) It's a pity that the time for each course is predetermined, limiting the options available.
7/11,12の2日間スイートハート(キャンターコースはオプションで$10アップでした)で騎乗。The Busでアラモアナから2時間で行けます。ハワイの学校が夏休みに入ったのか子供たちがいっぱい。我々が着いても受付に誰もいません。うろうろしている人に「予約している」と告げるとスタッフが出てきて免責の書面に各人サインしてから馬の準備。我々4人は内外地で外乗で走ることを楽しんでいますので、ここでもギャロップで走るつもりで来ました。内容は予想通り40Kmかそれ以上のスピードで走ることが出来ました。ただし、事前にこの程度の速度を経験していないと危険ですので、ガイドさんにはどの程度で走るかを指示しておく必要があると思います。乗馬クラブのラチ内での駈足は20Km位までですので車で言うとギアが3速から4速に上がる感じです。途中ノースショアの景色を見下ろせる丘でランチですが、馬のゼッケンのポケットに入れてあったランチボックスの中が上下の振動でグチャグチャになっていました。2日目はランチを持って行かないで戻ってから食事にしました。また、鐙は日本人には長すぎることが多いので、自分に合わない場合は妥協しないで調節(調節出来ない場合は子供用の鞍に替えてもらう)しないとキャンター、ギャロップでは落馬につながります。速度の点も含めて片言ででも英語で意思疎通が出来た方が良いと思います。事故は自己責任ですので。日本での外乗と比べて解放感がまったく違い、速く走りたい方には絶好の牧場です。(歩くコースは歩くだけ、キャンターコースはオプションです)コースによって時間が決まっており選択の巾が少ないのが残念です。
Had a wonderful time. Great family time. The Friday cruise was spectacular because of the fireworks. I would recommend this to family and friends.
The views were outstanding. The food was very good, and the entertainment was excellent. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone traveling to this location.
It was absolutely great! Service and entertainment was awesome! The views and sunset was breathtaking, and to end the night with fireworks was more than what we could ask for. I would definitely bring my family on this cruise again!
It was a wonderful cruise had a lot of fun. Would it again
We got the vow renewal package for our parents and they had a wonderful time. The views, food and entertainment were absolutely perfect :) The staff took a video on my mother-in-laws phone and they also received a special photo. They absolutely loved it and said they would do it again :) They said the staff were awesome!!!
We have made previous trips to Oahu and had never does this. This is an excellent trip to have All you can eat crab you can eat, which is absolutely true, they kept it coming. The entertainment was interactive with the guests and hilarious to watch and to participate. Plan to do this again.
Great experience! Hawaiian Lei greeting was a huge surprise for my family. They were extremely excited. Even though I didn't get all the Leis I ordered, initially, our hostesses went above and beyond. She actually mailed our two kukui necklaces to our hotel. AMAZING!!!!!
Rumalynn is actually our Hospitality Supervisor and as soon as she returned to the office she made sure to get your kukui nut leis mailed off to you. We're so glad your greeting went well!! Mahalo for the beautiful words!
This time, we went to Hawaii for the first time with our parents from both families to hold a local wedding ceremony. We wanted to create some memorable experiences to express our gratitude to our parents during our free time, so we booked a vow renewal and sunset cruise. We enjoyed dinner while cruising, watched a Hawaiian show, and had photos taken for each couple, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time.
The vow renewal ceremony itself was a first for our parents, and they seemed a bit shy about the idea of participating in such a ceremony. However, thanks to the open atmosphere of Hawaii, it all turned into a wonderful memory. By the way, I explained the vow renewal to our parents while we were having appetizers.
The ceremony could have been conducted for each couple separately, but we were able to do it for two couples at the same time. One slight disappointment was that our parents (and I) didn't understand much English, and the ceremony felt a bit rushed (perhaps because it was in between dinner?). Nevertheless, it was a valuable experience.
For now, the surprise was a success!!
The three-star atmosphere was lively, so it might be suitable for families. The meal portions and drinks were generous, and we left feeling full. The vow renewal could be a great surprise gift.
今回、現地挙式を行うため私達+私達両家の両親で初ハワイへ行ってきました。
フリータイムを有効に使って、何か両親への感謝を伝えられる思い出作りを???と・・・今回のバウ・リニューアル&サンセット・クルーズを申し込みました。クルーズをしながらディナー、ハワイアンショーもみれて、カップルごとに写真も付いて、ゆったりとした時間を楽しめました。
バウ・リニューアルという儀式自体、両親達は初耳、まさか自分達がそんな儀式をするなんて
・・・ちょっと照れ臭かったみたいですが、ハワイの開放的な雰囲気のおかげで、全ては良い思い出になりました。ちなみに両親達にバウ・リニューアルについて、前菜を食べながら説明しました。
儀式はそれぞれの夫婦ごとに進めることもできたのですが、2カップル同時にさせていただきました。ちょっと残念なこととすると、親は(私も)そんなに英語が理解できなかった+儀式的にはあっという間(ディナーの合間なので?)ということでしょうか。でも、貴重な経験ができました
。
ひとまずサプライズ成功です!!
3スターは賑やかな雰囲気だったのでファミリーに向いているかもしれません。食事量も飲み物も2杯付いてお腹がいっぱいになりました。
バウ・リニューアルについては、サプライズプレゼントにいいかもしれませんょ。
Congratulations on your marriage!! Thank you very much for choosing to embark with us. We are very happy that you chose us for your newlywed memories and the surprise for your parents. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
ご結婚、おめでとうございます!!この度は、ご乗船頂きまして、誠にありがとうございます。お二人の新婚の思い出、ご両親へのサプライズに、私どもを選んで頂いた事、とても嬉しく思います。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
This is a very nice cruise for the package you choose and the staff very friendly. My group of 21 had nothing but praise for the Crableg and steak package we chose. Water was calm and the cruise directors made you feel part of the activity by having everyone get involved.
Had a good experience at veltra cruise dinner on 2016 may 26.
Very unforgettable experience. The food is Good, server is nice.
Not wanting to go to another Polynesian show or luau, I decided to go to the Blue Note and it was a fantastic choice! My friend and I actually ended up going TWICE while we were there :D With an ever rotating line up of entertainers, no matter when you go, you are going to have an awesome time ^_^ The first night we went, we saw Don Tiki, this Jazz group with a great Tiki vibe, and Joe Robinson, a great guitarist, our second night. Drinks are really tasty and service was attentive, but not pushy.
I have been to the Blue Note in NYC, and this one in Hawaii definitely gives it a run for their money. If you want to have a chill evening with some great music, this is your spot. Take a break from the hula girls (yes, even though I am ONE :-P) and have an elegant night in Waikiki instead!
What a great night. From start to finish. Would recommend this cruise to everyone
This dinner cruise was excellent. I recommend doing this for everyone. I would definetly do it again.
Trip was awesome! Would definetly do it again. The tour guide Angela was great!
It was a great time. It got extremely hot. After we asked the waiter to open one of the windows he opened ours which helped a lot other then everyone came to our window to take pictures because it was the only window ope. Food was amazing tho and the service was awesome. I just think they should keep all the windows open. I would recommend this dinner to everyone
Good food, had all you can eat crab leg and steak. Great music and entertainment. Perfect sunset and view of the city. Well worth money. I would do it again
By far one of the better things done while in Oahu!
My husband and I were celebrating our 10 year anniversary in Hawaii and I had always wanted to go horse-back riding on the beach. This was a great place to do that, beautiful weather, even better scenery. We were very happy with the private sunset ride.
This was the most organized event I have ever been to. The staff was amazing and didn't miss a step. Honestly, with as many people they take care of and coming from all over the world, the staff was exceptional. Even the language barrier wasn't a problem. The food was excellent and the presentation was over the top. I would recommend this to anyone and will probably do this again.
Me & my mom had a blast on this dinner cruise. The staff, entertainment & food was superior. We would recommend this delightful activity to anyone coming to Waikiki. We would definitely do this again ourselves! This was a highlight & great memory of our Hawaiian vacation!
I was worried about being able to ride a horse, but the horses were well-trained, and I was able to ride without any issues. The staff was very kind and took beautiful photos with my phone. Walking at sunset while looking at the beautiful Hawaiian sea was very elegant, and the sunlight was not too strong, making it comfortable.
馬に乗れるのか心配でしたが、よく慣れた馬達で、問題なく乗馬できました。
スタッフはとても優しくて、私の携帯で写真も綺麗に撮ってくれました。
綺麗なハワイの海を見ながらサンセットの散歩は、とても優雅で、
日差しも強くなく快適でした。
We had a wonderful time and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Our server was very attentive, the food delicious and the entertainment was exceptional. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. We would do it again in a heartbeat!
Really nice cruise, Great music and service. Relaxing, nice views of Honolulu.
We celebrated a 25 th anniversary, and had a fantastic time. The crew was friendly and fun.
This is a wonderful dinner cruise! From the onset, the staff and crew catered to our every need. Our server, Kahleo (sp?) was a doll! We chose the tenderloin and all-you-can-eat crab meal and have to say, it was excellent! The tenderloin was cooked perfectly and the crab was hot and plentiful! Our window seat table was awesome. I'm amazed how the crew can serve so many people a hot, wonderful meal! Fantastic cruise up to Diamond Head ending with a beautiful fireworks display. A ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ evening! Would definitely recommend to anyone considering a dinner cruise!
Great crew a very fun time for my wife and son and myself. Food was good desserts were good.
Hilight of the cruise was the sighting of a whale.
The M C was very friendly and our waiter Max could not have been more helpful.
It was an AWSOME adventure!! The guide was excellent!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience with us. We are happy to hear you enjoyed both the ride and the guide. We hope to see you again soon. Mahalo, Lilia
