All Reviews for Romantic Things to Do in Oahu

I participated after being recommended by an acquaintance I met before, and it was a lot of fun. Also, there are many places to stop by from Waikiki to here, so if you're going by rental car, you can enjoy a full day.

前に行った知り合いに勧められて参加しましたが、とても楽しかったです。又、ワイキキからここまでは立ち寄る所も多くレンタカーで行かれるなら一日満喫できます。

Loved loved loved it. Had a great day and the beach is beautiful there. The sunset was amazing

Absolutely loved the dinner cruise. It was the height of our vacation! The staff was friendly and courteous. The food was Delicious and the entertainment was superb!! From beginning to end-FABULOUS!!

I can't recommend a better way to capture the essence of Hawaii than on this beach trail ride. The scenery is beautiful, relaxing and the overall experience made our trip that much more memorable. We saw sea turtles and even caught a glimpse of an endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal. The horses are very well trained polo ponies that do trail rides in their spare time. ...just another reason that makes this ride unique. The guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. we will be back!

I am from Maine...did a lot of research before ordering, trusted other reviews. I ordered honeymoon leis for daughter and her husband. Their flight was delayed: I called HI.activities and they told me, don't worry, as long as they remained on same flight, all is well. Ummm, the kids had to switch planes due to delay, and I couldn't contact HI.: too late at night. Called next morning, kids didn't get their greeting. Contacted Veltra, and barely got my name out and they said, is this about so and so? They knew who I was calling about within 2-3 minutes! I explained what happened and asked if they could go to the hotel, "no problem"...they got there within a few hours. Kids very happy...Leis look beautiful from picture we received...Thank you!!

After a comfortable drive of just over an hour from Waikiki towards the North, I spotted the GUNSTOCK sign and felt a rush of excitement. The expansive ranch, along with the goats and horses, was truly soothing and impressive.

While horseback riding, I leisurely enjoyed the scenery, and at the top of the hill, a breathtaking view unfolded, making me feel refreshed. Riding while holding the reins myself really allowed me to fully embrace the cowboy experience.

抜群の景色の中ノースを目指し快適ドライブをワイキキから1時間ちょっと、GUNSTOCKの看板を見つけ心ワクワク。広い牧場、山羊と馬に癒され感動。
乗馬は、のんびり景色を堪能しながらテクテク、岡の上では絶景が広がり気分爽快。
手綱を自分で引きながらの乗馬は、本当にカーボーイ気分を満喫しました。

This was an amazing sunset dinner cruise for my girlfriend and I. We had attended this cruise as a birthday gift to her, and it felt like we were on a honeymoon. This cruise is meant for couples because it is amazingly breathtaking with the view of Diamond Head crater, the deep blue ocean, and the beautiful shores of Waikiki. Then to top it all off with a sunset upon our west coast beaches.

In domestic horseback riding, there is usually someone to lead the horse, and you typically go around a designated area. However, here, I was able to ride alone on the well-trained horses until my backside hurt. However, no one spoke Japanese at all, but it didn't cause any particular inconvenience.

国内の乗馬だとたいてい馬を引いてくれる人がいて、決められたところを1周とかですが、
ここでは、慣れたお馬さんたちに、一人で乗りお尻が痛くなるまで乗れました。
だだ、日本語は全く通じません。が特に不都合はありませんでした。

Ballet the donkey came to greet us. He was so cute, rubbing his face against us. I wanted to take him back to Japan! (laughs) The horse was also very smart, and my daughter was in a great mood. We had a wonderful time together as a family until the end.

You can enjoy a different side of Hawaii for family memories.

ごあいさつに来てくれたロバのバレットくん。
顔をスリスリ、可愛かったです。
日本に連れて帰りたかったな～　笑
馬もお利口さんで、娘も上機嫌。最後まで家族で楽しく過ごしました。

ご家族の思い出に、違ったハワイを楽しめますよ。

They are studying Japanese and actively engage in conversation. The friendly owner was a wonderful person. It's a place where celebrities come incognito. The seaside view is beautiful, and I still can't forget it.

日本語を勉強されていて、積極的にお話してくださいます。
気さくなオーナーさんは素敵な方でした。
著名人がお忍びで来られるほど。海沿いの景色が美しくて今でも忘れられません。

The cruise was very enjoyable for me and my wife. The atmosphere was welcoming and fun. Being on a ship in itself was exciting. The meal was well prepared and delicious. The staff were entertaining yet very professional. Many of my friends has take this cruise and I would recommend it for anyone.

It was a blast! We had a great time and the location was amazing for our sunset ride! Our guides were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area!

I had an 11-hour transit time in Honolulu, so I made a reservation in advance to move around. The sky and sea were beautiful, and I had a great time. In Japan, we don't have such outdoor experiences, so it was nice.

ホノルルのトランジット時間が11時間あったので、あらかじめ予約して移動しました。空と海がきれいで、楽しかったです。日本では、こうした外のりはないので、良かったです。

This was a wonderful experience. The driver Larry is amiable and knowledgable who provided all the information needed for the trip and he gave detailed description about the areas along the road. Crews on the boat are professional and helpful. They did an excelent job in making it an enjoyable trip on the sea. Watching the golden sun vanishing into the ocean, eventhough we did not make encounter with the dolphinss, yet it was an unforgetable pleasant experience.

My hubby was surprised by the touch. But might have been a lil too much $$ for the flowers

We had a blast!, great food, all you can eat crab legs. great service and great show! If you're still deciding what dinner cruise you should take, here's your answer! You can't go wrong! My suggestion take this event as your grand finale of your vacation, probably on the last day of your trip. Thanks so much hawaiian activities, they added Hanauma Bay trip as a extra bonus at no cost( but you need to pay for the entrance fee)which you can not missed! My family and I had a wonderful time.

I enjoyed the cruise dinner very much. Beautiful meal with a beautiful transportation to take in the view of the beautiful island.

This was my first time ever riding a horse and they made me feel very comfortable. The views were amazing and Cassie was a fabulous guide! My husband and I decided to do this ride the night before our vow renewal and it gave us some beautiful memories to look back on! We would definitely recommend this ride!

My grandmother and I chose this as something different to do from the sightseeing and beach time we had been enjoying. The transportation is great even for those of us that are familiar with the island, and well worth the additional cost. The seating area is packed and truly would be more enjoyable with fewer people crammed in. The food and service were far better than expected and the "All You Can Eat" crab truly lives up to the name. The boat from an external view is beautiful and makes a striking appearance out on the open ocean. On the decks there are areas that could be maintained better, especially the areas that food is served from and are in plain view of guests. The top deck is amazing for catching sight of the city line and would be a great place to spend a romantic evening with a significant other. Overall this is something that I am glad we experienced and would be willing to take others on.

친구의 도움으로 예약을 해서 가게 됐는데
정말 멋진 시간이였다!!
귀여운 돌고래와 멋진 석양.... 그리고 친절한 직원들까지
하나 더! 함께 탄 사람들도 참 유쾌했다
다만 우리가 영어에 약해 어울리지 못했다는
점이 참 아쉽다
다음 기회에 또 다시 이용하리라

The lady greeted us right off the plane! Had a big sign. She was sooo super friendly said Aloha and welcome. Presented us with leis that looked so much better than what I saw others wearing. She also answered any questions we had. She even took the shuttle with us to show is where to collect our bags and then took us to the spot where our shuttle was picking us up and waited until we were all in and then said Aloha and mahalo. Well beyond what I expected for this service. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the islands!! Thanks so much!!

While the scenery was excellent and the tour guides very hospitable, it was hard to call this a horseback "riding" tour. We walked the horses on a predefined trail, and while I understand the owner's concerns about the health of his/her animals and the variable level of riding experience of the participants, there should have been a chance to run, gallop, or at least trot on the animals to call it riding.

Wonderful person met us as we got off our plane. She had our leis and travel gifts and even took our picture.

We all enjoyed the ride. Savannah was a great guide and full of information on the local area. The horses were well groomed and behaved. The top of the mountain where we stopped for dinner provided gorgeous views. The dinner was good and so was the company. Gunstock Ranch was very beautiful, and the drive from Waikiki was beautiful too. I would definitely recommend it. Well worth it.

We drove to the North in a rental car and participated in horseback riding with our family. The Hawaii Polo Club, where we were taken care of this time, is located along the coast, with a dreamlike setting of white sandy beaches next to vast polo fields. Although I only understand a little Japanese, the friendly staff were very kind to us, and we had a wonderful time that made me want to come back for sure. The pleasant breeze of the North felt on the horse's back, the blue sky of Hawaii—just amazing!!! I highly recommend it.

　レンタカーに乗ってノースまでドライブし、家族で乗馬に参加しました。今回お世話になったハワイポロクラブは海岸沿いの敷地で、白い砂浜と広大なポロフィールドが隣り合わせの夢のようなロケーションです。日本語は少ししか通じませんが、フレンドリーなスタッフに親切にしていただき、非常に楽しい時間を過ごす事ができ是非リピートしたいなって気持ちになりました。馬の背で感じるノースの心地良い風、ハワイの青い空、サイコー！！！お勧めです。

My wife, 11 month old daughter, and boarded the Star of Honolulu, on the One Star package. The night started with a Mai Tai, which was quite strong (coming as a surprise to me as in my experience, “welcome drinks” tend to be very watered down), and we were taken to our table with our appetizers ready and waiting for us. The food was fantastic! I’m going to be honest; I had low expectations for the food. All you can eat crab on a ship, generally does not mean “high quality” to me. And boy was I proven wrong. The crab especially was very tasty, and my wife and I definitely took advantage of the “all you can eat” description. The show was also very fun to watch, with examples of dances of different styles from around Polynesia. The service from our waiter, Chad, was excellent as well: my water was never empty, empty plates were taken as soon as I was finished, and the crab kept coming. I’ve already suggested the Star of Honolulu to family members for when they visit.

I decided to come here because I heard it's the only place on Oahu where you can trot and canter. The sensation of running through the vast nature, feeling the wind while cantering, is just amazing!

I climbed a mountain and was able to see the beach from the top. The scenery is just beautiful!

Although only English is spoken, I think as long as you understand the terms for trot and canter, you can manage while riding. They also have helmet rentals, and you can easily go with just jeans and sneakers.

The location was a bit far from Waikiki, so I took a taxi. It took about an hour and a half one way, and the fare was around $130. It felt great to drive along the coastal highway. I think having a rental car would be convenient.

オアフ島で速歩、駈歩ができるのはここだけと聞いて決めました。日本では考えられない広大な自然の中を駈歩で風を切って走る感覚は最高です！
山を登り、頂上からはビーチまで見渡せました。とにかく景色が綺麗！

英語しか通じませんが、速歩（トロット）、駈歩（キャンター）の言葉さえ分かれば騎乗中はなんとかなると思います。
ヘルメットもレンタルがあるし、ジーンズとスニーカーさえあれば気軽に行くことができます。

場所だけはワイキキから遠かったのでタクシーを利用しました。片道1時間半程度、料金は130ドル程度でした。海沿いのハイウェイを走るのも気持ちよかったです。レンタカーがあると便利だと思います。

We have been taken care of by Gunstock three times as a couple.

In the world of horseback riding, there are not many places where you can canter, but this place never disappoints, no matter when you visit (laughs). Even if you don't understand English, the handsome guide leads the way and turns back to ask, "Is cantering okay?" The well-trained horses recognize that this is a place where they can run, so they canter comfortably.

Gunstock is the best!! We will definitely visit again next time!

ガンストックさんへは夫婦で3回お世話になっております。

外乗ではなかなかキャンター（駈歩）させてもらえる所が少ない中ここはいつ訪れても裏切らないです（笑）
英語がわからなくてもイケメンガイドのお兄さんが先導してくれ後ろを振り返り「キャンターＯＫ？」って声をかけてくれます。きちんと調教された馬がここは走ってもＯＫの場所だと認識しているので気持ちよく駈歩してくれます。

ガンストックさん最高！！次回も絶対お邪魔します！

I made a reservation on the night of my arrival in Hawaii!

The dinner cruise's food and performance were very satisfying!

The vow renewal ceremony also became a wonderful memory, but I couldn't catch everything that was said in English during the proceedings (^_^;)

Also, since it was the night of my arrival in Hawaii, I was feeling a bit dazed from jet lag, and towards the end of the dinner cruise, I was battling sleepiness (^_^;)

If you're not confident about dealing with jet lag, I wouldn't recommend the dinner cruise on your first night in Hawaii (>_<)

If it weren't for the sleepiness, I might have enjoyed it a bit more (>_<)

ハワイ到着日の夜に申し込みました！

ディナークルーズのお食事＆パフォーマンスは大満足でした！

バウリニューアルのセレモニーも素敵な思い出になりましたが、

ただ、進行する時の言葉が全て英語であまり聞き取れなかったです(^_^;)

それから、ハワイ到着日の夜と言う事もあり、時差ボケで頭が朦朧としてきて

ディナークルーズの終盤は睡魔との闘いでした(^_^;)

時差に自信ない方は、ハワイ初日のディナークルーズはおすすめ出来ません(>_<)

睡魔が襲ってこなければ、もう少し楽しめたかも(>_<)

We participated as a couple. Since we are attending a riding school in Japan, we were looking forward to horseback riding abroad. The handsome staff communicated with us in broken Japanese, and we enjoyed a walk on the beautiful beach of the North Shore. Then we did log jumps, and afterwards, we even got to canter, which made us very satisfied.

夫婦で参加しました。
日本で乗馬学校に通っている事もあり海外での乗馬を楽しみにして。
英語が話せない私達にイケメンスタッフが片言の日本語で対応してくれノースショアの美しいビーチをお散歩。
そして丸太ん棒のジャンプ。その後駈歩までさせて頂き
とっても満足できました。
