My husband, parents and I really enjoyed the sunset dinner ride. The only thing I wish we could have done was gallop or even cantor a bit. If you are a new rider or inexperienced, this is perfect for you. The views were breathtaking and the guide was great. The food was decent, however when we got done we realized we didn't get the corn on the cob or the pie that was advertised in the add. What we did get was steak, shrimp, rice, macaroni salad, fresh fruit and we made smores over the fire. The best was the fruit and the smores. Overall it was really fun and a great experience.
It was a level of satisfaction beyond my imagination. Enjoying horseback riding in the great outdoors at a leisurely pace is just the best! The staff were very friendly, and I thought I would love to come back again!
想像を超えた満足感でした。
ゆっくりとした時間で、大自然の中で乗馬を楽しめるなんて、最高です！
スタッフの方々もとても感じが良くて、また来たいなと思いました！

We participated as a family of four. Our 12-year-old and 8-year-old sons rode alone as well. In 1 hour and 15 minutes, we enjoyed a magnificent view and were very satisfied. Along the way, there were changes in the path, and there were some thrilling spots too. It became an unforgettable experience.
At the ranch, there were free-range donkeys and wild peacocks, and it was fun to interact with them.
家族四人で参加しました。12才と8才の息子もひとりで乗りました。1時間15分で、雄大な景色の中を周り大満足。途中、道にも変化があり、少しスリルのあるところもありました。一生忘れられない経験になりました。
牧場には、放し飼いのロバや、野生の孔雀がいて、触れ合いが楽しかったです。

This was my sixth dinner cruise out of Waikiki I will have to say that this was exceptional and far exceeded my expectations the staff was wonderful our waiter was just absolutely amazing she did a great job and the food was very good service went well entertainment was nice and all in all it was a beautiful cruise
Are greater was absolutely wonderful did an amazing job was very informative and had lots of information to give us directions we really appreciated her time and experience would recommend it to anyone
Had a great time. Good food (and lots of it) and meeting new people is always fun. It was an intimate setting with a with a friendly and attentive staff. The performers were great; performing dances from the various Polynesian cultures. The view of the city lights from the ship was beautiful as was the sunset. Definitely recommend this dinner cruise for first timers and using the transportation that is offered.
I signed up with the assumption that I could ride horses by the beach at North Shore and run them along the shoreline, but that was a naive thought. The trail goes by the coast, but it doesn't reach the ocean. The course is overgrown with tall grass, and the view isn't very good. The horses are well accustomed to people, and even when there were loud noises (like gunshots?), they didn't get agitated. I think this is suitable for beginners.
ノースショアの海辺で乗馬ができる、波打ち際で馬を走らせる事ができるとの勝手な思い込みで申し込みをしましたが甘い考えでした。海岸の側は通りますが海には行きません。コースに背の高い草が茂っており、眺めも余り良くないです。馬は良く人に慣れており、途中大きな音（拳銃の発射音？）がしても暴れることも無かったです。初心者向きの乗馬かなと思います。

Loved the beachside trail walk, smaller group so book early. I'll come back again for sure!
Enjoyed the cruise! Although short, it was delicious, all you can eat crab legs, and there is some fun entertainment at the end! Fun times!
this cruise was bueatiful simple and just perfect. it was tight on space though. overall vary happy :-D
This was my second time horseback riding in Hawaii. The first time, I participated in a local tour at Kualoa Ranch. This time, I was drawn to the seaside course and set off to the ranch by rental car. However, there was no sign at the entrance of the ranch, and after entering a couple of other properties and being told it was the wrong place, it took quite a while to finally arrive. When we got there, there were only four of us as guests, and both the staff and the horses were relaxed. Time to ride! It was written that the riding session would last 45 minutes, but it seemed like we walked slowly. On the sandy beach, locals were enjoying barbecues and sunbathing while listening to music. The horses were quite greedy, lowering their heads to eat grass, which made me a bit nervous, but it was a lot of fun. After horseback riding, we went swimming nearby, and it felt like a private beach. Thank you, Adriana!
ハワイでの乗馬は二回目です。１度目はクアロア牧場の現地ツアーに参加しました。今回は海辺のコースに惹かれてレンタカーで牧場までいざ出発しました。・・・が、牧場の入り口に看板らしきものがなく、２か所ほど他の敷地内へ入っては違うと言われ、たどり着くまで結構な時間がかかりました。着いてみると、客は私たち４人のみで、スタッフも馬ものんびり。いざ乗馬！乗馬の時間は４５分と書いてありましたが、ゆっくり歩いていただいたようでした。砂浜の海辺は現地の人たちが音楽を聴きながらバーベキューや日光浴をしていました。馬たちは食いしん坊で草を食べる度に頭を下げるのでヒヤヒヤしましたが、とても楽しかったです。乗馬の後は牧場の近くで海水浴をしましたが、まるでプライベートビーチみたいでした。アドリアーナさんありがとう！

Great food, great show! You are truly catered to and the scenery was breathtaking
The Friday night cruise food was very good and the dancers and live band were excellent. It was a fun filled evening with an opportunity to meet new friends from around the globe.
Since there is no shuttle service for the tour, I rented a Harley with a rental bike the day before and set off from the local area. In a country where helmets are not required, I enjoyed the freedom with a bandana and sunglasses while heading to the ranch. I wish this could be included in the tour as well!
This morning, it was just the four of us in a private session, and most of the preparations for horseback riding were already done. The horses, saddled and ready, lined up to greet us. The staff, consisting of friendly cowboys and cowgirls, assisted us, and since they could speak a little Japanese, the process was smooth.
The horse assigned to me was named Cowboy, and all the horses were well-trained and adorable. The horseback riding was quite hands-off, so beginners might feel a bit confused without an experienced rider accompanying them. It's common knowledge that the handling of reins is the opposite of Japan, so if you understand that, you can ride fairly freely, which made it a lot of fun for us.
We rode for 90 minutes, climbing steep, unmarked slopes and traversing a varied ranch landscape. It was very satisfying. However, I wished we could have been taken to a spot with a better ocean view at the top of the mountain, which is the only reason I’m giving it four stars.
I plan to choose this place for horseback riding again next time, but I think I will negotiate before riding. It was a lot of fun.
送迎の無いツアーなので、前日よりレンタルバイクでハーレーを借り現地出発
ヘルメットの要らない国なので、バンダナサングラスで開放感満喫しながら牧場目指して
ドドドドド！ （これもツアーに含めてくれればと思います）
今日の午前中は自分達４人だけの貸切状態で、乗馬の支度は殆どおわっており
鞍スタンバイの馬たちが、並んでお出迎え
スタッフも笑顔が素敵なカーボウイとカウガールが対応してくれて、日本語も片言で喋れる人達なので手続きもスムーズでした。
自分のあてがわれた馬は名前はカウボーイ、どの馬もよく教育されていて可愛かった
乗馬はかなり放任型で、初心者は経験者同伴じゃないと少し戸惑うかも
日本と手綱の扱いが逆なのも海外乗馬は常識なので、分かっていれば逆に
ある程度は自由に乗せてくれるので、自分達は凄く楽しかったです。
道無き急斜面を上ったり、起伏に富んだ牧場を９０分かけての乗馬
のりごたえ満点です。
ただ、山の上でもう少しオーシャンビューなところに案内してもらいたかったかな
と、そこだけが残念で星４つです。
次回も乗馬はここに決定のつもりですが、乗る前に交渉してみようと思っています。
楽しかったです。

My fiancé and I went on the Snorkel and Sunset cruise the second week of November. The bus pick-up was extremely easy and allowed for worry-free drinks on the cruise.
The cruise was spectacular. The orientation was clear and made us both feel comfortable. The snorkel spot selected was stunning and quite safe feeling. We saw many tropical fish and even had a ray breeze past! We spotted a humpback whale breaching and so the captain took us on over for a closer look.
The Kalua pork was tasty for dinner and the crew went out of their way to make sure we were all satisfied. We were treated to a beautiful sunset and leisurely cruise back to harbor.
The staff (Alex) was sensational! From chatting on our ride I felt like we were family.. Like we knew each other for years... Very inviting, knowledgeable and friendly! The horses are beautiful and sweet and the property you get to ride on is like out of a fairy tale! I will definitely be coming back every time I'm in Hawaii!
We thoroughly enjoyed the sunset cruise. Extremely friendly staff and they made the experience special. Entertainment and good were great!
Let me start off by saying I NEVER post reviews...which I need to work on because I am always checking them out before I do/buy things. This was my boyfriend & I first trip to Hawaii so we were very excited! We chose the Five Star package because of the jazz music (we attended a luau the night before & did not want to have the same theme).
They picked us up from our hotel at 4:30 pm. From the very beginning we were treated like VIP. We were led to the top deck to have champagne & o'dourves with the captain. We also got to take a professional pic with the captain, which was cool. After that, we were led to our seat inside the ship. We had a window seat & loved it. We were a little worried about getting seasick, but it wasn't a problem. I was a little concerned about the food at first because neither one of us are into fancy food, but it was pretty good (as stated before we chose that package specifically for the music). Instead of the lobster we chose a stuffed chicken option which was my favorite! For our steak entree we asked that it was cooked well done & it was the most tender steak ever! Throughout the dinner you can step outside as you please to feel the breeze, take in the views, & take pics.
The ambiance was beautiful! There was a live pianist, saxophonist/flutist, & singer. They were great! In the end they gave us the photo we took with the captain in a nice album cover with a pic of the ship on the water. Also, all of the ladies were given a rose. The only thing I WISH I would have did was asked for another copy of the photo so my boyfriend & I can both have one :-( I didn't even think about it until we returned back to our home state. I called 3 days later to see if we could get a copy; they sent an email to the photo dept. but almost 2 weeks later & I still haven't heard anything.
Overall, I highly recommend! This is perfect for a romantic date night! The cruise lasted about 2 hrs. This was a great way to end our trip in Hawaii.
The cruise was awesome!!! The food was great. The staff we had took such good care of us. The entertainment was off the hook at the end.
Food was good, view was fantastic, crew was very helpful and entertaining! Fun way to spend an evening!
The service was great. Outstanding staff that was very professional and courteous. I would DEFINITELY recommend this service if you're looking for a special evening.
From the start this cruise was amazing, We checked in and got the royal treatment. Escorted to the upper deck where we were greeted by the captain and offered snacks and drinks. We were then seated and bring on the food, every dish was great. Brandon our server was great, he mad sure everything was to our satisfaction. The maitre d came and got us just before sunset and took us out on deck where the Captain was waiting and we renewed our vows. It was very romantic. I would do this again.
Myself and my husband could not fault the experience that we had when we renewed our wedding vows. The food was great, the staff were fantastic and the ceremony that was provided was private and personal - just what we wanted. It was the perfect end to the day.

Ah Man! What an amazing trip. I was a bit weary on the afternoon of since the weather report was not promising any sun. But the sunset was probably the most beautiful I have ever seen. The colors that crusted the clouds were just tear jerking. The crew was so friendly and laid back, food was healthy and tasty, beer was cold, the coastline was misty, water dark blue ... it felt so good to be there at that moment. Cheers to Ocean Joy and VELTRA for making this short trip back to the islands so much fun.
This sail packs in so much in the perfect amount of time. Not only do you get to sail along the west coast of Oahu, but you get to visit a great snorkel spot, eat your fill of delicious food and guzzle down lots of drinks!
I have done a lot of regular dinner cruises in Hawaii and in other states, but this one is definitely the most unique and you totally get a great bang for your buck. Since you are on the west side, you are literally right there as the sun dips below the horizon, and with a steady stream of drinks and as much food as you can eat, there isn't anything better!!!
The drive is like 40 minutes from Waikiki, but the transportation was comfortable and on-time. Great option if you don't want to drive and definitely a "must do" if everyone in your party is planning on knocking back a few.
Be sure to bring some cash to buy the photos that they take of you. The photographer is fantastic and takes TONS of pictures throughout the cruise, both in and out of the water. They put it on a USB drive for you and that way you don't have to worry about snapping shots and can just focus on having fun ^_^
Best. Dinner. Snorkel. Sunset. Cruise. EVAR!
Best snorkel cruise I've been on! The crew were great and you can tell they enjoy their jobs. They were all friendly and personable. They made the experience what is was. Unfortunately I am bad with names, but the crew member who spoke all the different languages was fantastic and so was our photographer (local girl).
I Had such a wonderful time will defintily do it again if i get the chance took my mom to hawaii for her birthday n suprised her with this awesome cruise wonderful meal crab legs and steak!! N fireWorks at the end of the night was great too
The people were friendly, the views were great. Since we are experienced riders it would've been nice to do more than a walk but we were aware it was only walk. For the cost we probably wouldn't pick this type of ride again.
I think it’s inconvenient because there’s no pickup service and you have to meet on-site, so you need a rental car to get there. Horseback riding along the nearby beach felt monotonous since the course was the same going and coming back. The time was shorter than I expected. The horseback riding at Kualoa had better scenery. If the weather is good, it might offset some of that.
ピックアップが無く現地集合の為レンタカーでないと行けない場所の為不便だと思う。近くのビーチ沿いを乗馬。コースが行き帰りが同じで単調に感じた。時間が思ったより短かった。クアロアの乗馬の方が景色は良かった。天気が良ければある程度相殺されるかもしれない。

Excellent guide, very knowledgeable about horses, Hawaiian scenery, and informative about Hawaiian economy. The ride itself was absolutely goregous and the beauty of the trail and ocean was so beautiful it is difficult to describe. Definately worth the money and a must if you are on the North Shore.
Only suggestion is that the address needs to be be more specific and signs would be nice.
