I went with my wife and daughter. The one and a half hours felt quite long, but being guided by a beautiful instructor through the magnificent highlands made me feel great. The scenery was also incredibly wonderful, and it was a lot of fun. The horses were all very gentle, and even my 9-year-old daughter enjoyed riding. It's a bit far from Waikiki, but I think it's not a problem at all if you have a rental car.
妻、娘 三人と行きました。 一時間半はかなり長く感じましたが、雄大な高原の中を美人さんのインストラクターに案内されて、気分も最高でした。又景色も非常に素晴らしく楽しかったです、馬さんもどれもおとなしく9歳の娘でも楽しく乗馬できました。ちょっとワイキキからは遠いですが、レンタカーが有れば全然問題ないと思います。

This isn't normally the sort of thing my husband and I do, organised fun isn't really 'us'. However the Luau at Paradise Cove was absolutely brilliant. The food and entertainment were fantastic, even our hotel pickup was brilliant (Thank you Cousin Mo!)
I honestly can't recommend this experiment enough, a great night, we loved it!!!

We participated as a couple from Waikiki, taking the bus. We arrived early to avoid being late and walked about 10 minutes from the bus stop, but no one was there. There were several booths surrounded by fences, and the horses were lounging around, looking quite relaxed.
After waiting for 50 minutes, just as our reservation time was approaching, we heard cheerful voices and about ten people returned. They each took commemorative photos before leaving, and we thought we could get on right away, but we were told, "You have to wait for one more group to arrive," and we ended up waiting another 30 minutes.
Finally, we started with a family of four from California, but the eldest daughter’s horse wouldn’t move. The instructor, who was at the front of the line, just kept saying to kick its belly. I thought we could have switched horses, or even used my horse from the riding club.
We returned as scheduled, but we could have ridden for another 30 minutes, right? Unlike the previous group, we didn’t get to take commemorative photos, which was a bit disappointing. However, we did give a proper tip. If we participate again, we plan to request a horse that can run.
ワイキキから夫婦で、the busでの参加です。
遅れてはならないと、早めの到着でバス停から10分ほど歩いて到着するも、誰もいない。
柵で囲まれたブースがいくつかあり、馬たちはのんびりと座り込んでいたり、まあのびのびした感じです。
待つこと50分、私たちの予約時間になろうとした頃、きゃっきゃと声が聞こえてきて、10人くらいの皆さんが帰って来た。
そのみなさんがそれぞれ記念撮影などして帰って行き、すぐ乗れるのかと思いきや「もう一組客が来るから待ってて」と言われ、再び待つこと30分。
カリフォルニアから来た4人家族と、やっとスタート。そしたらそこの長女の方が騎乗した馬が動かない。インストラクターのお姉さんは列の先頭にいたまま、お腹を蹴ってとしか言わない。
馬を替えるなり、なんだったら乗馬クラブに通っている私の馬と替えてもいいのに。
そして帰着は予定通りで、もう30分は乗れたんじゃないの?前の組みたいに記念撮影もなく、なんだかなあ。
でも、チップはちゃんとあげました。
もし、再度参加するとしたら、走れる方でお願いしようと話しています。

We were caught in heavy rain right after we started our ride at Hawaii Polo Club, so we couldn't begin horseback riding for a while. After that, the rain lightened up, and we enjoyed riding in the refreshing atmosphere after the rain. However, my daughter's horse suddenly crouched down, perhaps trying to dry off its wet body, which surprised us. Fortunately, the guide responded quickly, and since my daughter was accustomed to riding, she wasn't scared and we were able to start again. It was our first experience like this, and it made us realize that we are riding living creatures, not machines.
There were also small mishaps afterward, but we enjoyed those as well. It was a wonderful experience to take a pleasant walk along the beach with the horse, creating great memories.
私たちが、ハワイポロクラブについてすぐに、大雨に降られしばらく乗馬が始められませんでした、、その後、小雨になり、雨上がりの爽やかな中、快調に乗馬を楽しんでいたら、、娘の乗った馬が濡れた体を乾かそうとしたのか、しゃがみ込んでしまい、びっくりしましたが、ガイドの方が、迅速に対応してくれたのと、娘も、乗馬には慣れていたので怖がることもなく、再びスタートすることが出来ましたが、こう言うことは初めてだったので、びっくりしましたが、改めて、私たちは、機械ではなく、生き物に乗っているんだと実感しました。
その後も、小さなハプニングは、いろいろありましたが、それも楽しめました。
海辺を気持ちよく馬と一緒にお散歩できて、貴重な経験も出来て、いい思い出になりました。

I experienced this during spring break. My son, who is in the third grade, my niece in her twenties, and I in my forties all took on the challenge together. It was everyone's first time riding a horse, and we were worried about whether we could actually ride, but we were able to smoothly get on the horse from the mounting block.
The instructions were in English, but they used gestures to teach us, so even with zero English skills, we managed just fine. We rode in a line through the grasslands and between the trees, not just on flat ground but also on rocky mountain paths, stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery for about an hour. It was a valuable experience that is hard to come by in Japan.
Although it's quite a distance from Waikiki, it took two hours by bus from Ala Moana Center, and it was worth the effort to get there.
春休みに体験しました。
小学3年生の息子、20代の姪、40代の私の3名で挑戦。ひとりで乗馬はみんな初めてで、馬に乗れるのか…と心配でしたが、台にのった状態から馬にまたがったのでスンナリ乗れました。
説明は英語でしたが、身ぶり手振りで教えてくれたので英語力ゼロでもどうにかなりました。
一列になって草原や木の間、平坦なところだけでなく歩きにくそうな山道を進み途中途中で景色を眺めるために止まりながら約1時間、貴重な体験ができました。日本ではなかなか体験できないのでよかったです。
ワイキキから距離がありますが、アラモアナセンターからバスで2時間、頑張って行った甲斐がありました。

Beach activities are great, but leisurely horseback riding next to Hawaii's beautiful ocean is a precious experience. The view is so good that it really lifted my spirits. However, since you ride for an hour, it can get a bit painful on your backside (laughs). If I could wish for more, it would be that since we only walked, it would be even more fun if we could run. This experience sparked a strong interest in horseback riding for me. By the way, no Japanese is understood at all. All the instructions were in English. However, the horse was very smart and walked and stopped without any signals, so I felt completely at ease.
ビーチアクティビティーも良いですが、ハワイの綺麗な海の横でのんびり乗馬も貴重な体験です。
とにかく眺めが良いので、テンションがあがりました。ただ、1時間も乗っているので、お尻が痛くなります(笑)
欲を言うと、歩くだけなので、走れるようになったらさらに楽しいだろうと、このことがきっかけで、乗馬に非常に、興味を持ちました。
ちなみに、日本語は全く通じないです。
説明は全て英語でした。
ただ、馬はとてもお利口さんで、何も合図しなくても、歩いたり止まったりしてくれて、何の不安もありませんでした。

It takes more than 1 hour and 30 minutes from Waikiki. The 1 hour and 30 minute trail ride had gates every 200 meters, and after opening and closing them, we moved at a brisk pace and then to a gallop, without any worries about the horses running away. The horses also seemed to be stress-free. Along the way, a donkey followed us, and it was adorable. The lady was also very friendly with a lovely smile.
ワイキキからは1時間30分以上です。1時間30分のトレール乗馬は200mごとにでゲートがあり、それを開け閉めしてからの速足から駆足で、暴走の心配がなかったです。馬もストレスがないように見えました。途中でロバが後をついてきて、可愛かったです。お姉さんも笑顔が素敵だった。

We loved our time on the snorkeling and dinner cruise excursion. Well worth the price. Our captain gave great instruction and safety procedures. He also took us up snd close to a whale which gave us quite a show within 25 yards or so. The time by the shore snorkeling was impressive. Lots of fish.
The dinner was delicious with plenty of variety of drinks both spirited and not. I enjoyed the time to enjoy the sunset. Beautiful. There are two restrooms where you can change. Two shower hoses to rinse off after you snorkel. Staff was great. Underwater photographer was along for optional photo package you can purchase.

I know it's just the luck of the draw and bad timing but 5 or 6 people got sick on our trip due to high waves. Maybe cancelling the trip would have been best because after all that, the provided meal was not at all appetizing.

I participated on March 8, 2017.
I wanted to ride along the coast, so I rented a car and went to the North Shore. There were some online warnings about it being hard to find, but it was well-marked on Google and the rental car's navigation system, so I had no trouble once I got close. However, it's definitely tough without a rental car.
Our club is located in a corner of a spacious polo field, and the horses were relaxed, providing a much more open atmosphere compared to Japan.
After showing our voucher, we set off with two teenage girls and a total of four people plus one staff member. The saddles were Western-style, which I wasn't used to, but the horses were really calm. The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, and the breeze felt great—it was the perfect outdoor ride.
However, the customer service felt a bit indifferent, and I got the impression that they weren't very accustomed to dealing with customers. I also wished we could have done a bit more trotting and cantering.
I recommend this for anyone who wants to enjoy a leisurely ride along the coast (beginners are absolutely welcome).

I participated two years ago and had a great time, so I joined again this time. Unfortunately, even though it was the weekend, it seemed like there were fewer tourists than last time, and it felt a bit lacking in excitement (I participated at the end of February). As mentioned in the review I referred to last time, the hula dancers at Ko Olina seem to be very talented, and I was impressed by their beautiful hula, but this time I wasn't as moved. It might be because it was my second time... If you participate during a busier season, I think it will be more lively and enjoyable.

The only thing we didn't like too much was the crowdedness. My wife is claustrophobic, so she didn't like that the tables were very close together. Other then that being our one complaint, this is a cruise worth doing. The sunset is beautiful!
