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

I don't understand Japanese at all, so it's quite difficult if you can't speak English. Even on the bus, while everyone was laughing, I felt a strong sense of alienation. I didn't know how to enter, and before I could call out, they quickly moved on... I was anxious about what would happen. I finally made it to the ticket booth, and a kind person there took me to my seat, and I was saved by a friendly American who happened to be sitting right in front of me. The seat I was shown was right in front! I thought it was amazing, but during the dance, dust from the aisle flew up, and I got covered in it. I think sitting a little further back would be easier to see. The situation up to that point wasn't great, but the show was much, much better than any I had seen before. This is what I wanted to see, and the dinner was plentiful and quite tasty, so I was satisfied.
日本語は全く通じないので英語が話せないと結構大変です。バスの中でも皆が笑ったりしているのに疎外感たっぷりです。入場の仕方もわからず、呼び止める間もなく、さっさと先に行ってしまうし・・・どうなってしまうのかと不安でした。チケット売り場へたどり着き、そこの親切な方が席まで連れて行ってくれたのとたまたま席の前に座っていた親切なアメリカ人の方に救われました。案内された席は真ん前!すごい!と思っていましたが踊りの際に通路のほこりが舞い、しっかりあびてしまいました。席は少し後ろが見やすいと思います。ここまでの状況は良くなかったけど、ショーは今まで見たところよりずっとずっと良かったです。こういうのを見たかったし、ディナーも量がたっぷり、味もなかなか良かったので満足しました。

Good show, good food. Crafts were just OK. Some of the people working there were not really enthused about the whole thing. The food servers and performers were great. You can't use the Paradise Cove credit card at all booth's. Evidently some of the craft vendors are not directly connected to Paradise Cove and do not accept the card. If you just want to drink, then the card is great. The bar takes the card. I was here a few years ago, the show is better now, the food is better and the crafts are worse.

Our first Luau and it was a lot of fun. The bus picked us up at the hotel and brought us back. The gals that drove and entertained us on bus "W" were awesome. The activities were great as was dinner. We sat in the Royal Box. There wasn't a picture of it anywhere that I could find, so I am including one. You are sitting at approximately the same height as the stage but about 50-60 feet away from the stage. The show was great and all the people were really nice. The sunset was gorgeous and presents an opportunity for some amazing photos.

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.

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.

It gets cold at night, so a jacket is necessary.
The show lasts a bit longer, so you might get cold.

I got hooked on horseback riding on Maui and experienced trail riding on Hawaii Island and Maui (for the second time). It was my first time with a gunstock. I had a fantastic time at the trot, but during the second canter, the stirrup metal came off, which surprised me, but I managed to finish without falling off. The canter in the grasslands of Kohala was the best.
マウイ島で乗馬にはまり、ハワイ島、マウイ(二度目)、外乗を体験してきました。ガンストックは初体験。駈歩は最高に楽しみましたが、途中二度目のキャンター時 鐙の金具が外れて、ビックリポンしましたが落馬せず完走出来ました。キャンターは草原のコハラが一番
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are also pleased to hear that you enjoyed horseback riding.
Regarding the stirrup hardware you mentioned, we have confirmed with the local operating company that regular safety checks are conducted. We have been informed that when the hardware came loose, the guide promptly exchanged the horse and checked in with you after the ride. However, we understand that unexpected events can cause concern.
We sincerely appreciate your feedback and, together with the operating company, will strive to further improve our services in the future.
Thank you for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

この度はツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
また、乗馬をお楽しみいただけたようで嬉しく思います。
ご指摘いただいております鐙の金具につきまして現地催行会社に確認をとらせていただきましたところ、
定期的にセーフティーチェックは行っているとのことでございました。
金具が外れた際に、すぐガイドが馬を交換し、乗馬後にもお声がけさせていただいたと報告を受けてはおりますが、
予期せぬ出来事が発生し、不安なお気持ちだったかと察します。
お客様からのお言葉を真摯に受け止め、催行会社共々、今後さらなるサービス向上に努めてまいります。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

After seeing everyone's reviews, I wondered if it would be a bother for me, a beginner who has only completed about 40 lessons, to join. However, I couldn't resist the temptation to ride a horse across the plains of Hawaii, so I nervously signed up. The result was a correct decision to challenge myself; I had a very enjoyable time. Since I usually only trot in the ring, this was my first time trotting on a trail, and it was also my first experience with a Western saddle and operating the reins with one hand. However, our guide Emily kindly taught me, and after learning the tip to loosen the reins compared to English riding, my horse Libby started to run smoothly. We trotted and cantered up the hills, and at the top, there was a wonderful view of the sea, sky, and the land of Oahu. Even if you're not an advanced rider, once you can trot, I highly recommend giving it a try. You'll surely discover even more charm in horseback riding.
The advanced tour is limited to four people per session.
By the way, the ranch is located in Laie, which is on the North Shore, about an hour's drive from Waikiki, just past the Polynesian Cultural Center. The weather there can differ from that in Waikiki. On the day I initially booked, it was sunny in Waikiki, but it was raining on and off at the location, making the trail muddy and dangerous for riding, so the tour was canceled at the last minute, and I had to turn back. Fortunately, I was able to rebook for the next day when there was availability. Both VELTRA and the local tour company, as well as the ranch, were very kind in their responses. However, I recommend that participants in the advanced course check the local weather by calling the ranch directly before departing from Waikiki to confirm if the tour is still on. The beginner walking-only course can still operate with some rain.
皆さんの評価を見て、まだ初心者で40鞍ほどレッスンを終えたばかりの私が参加しても迷惑かなあ、と思いつつ、しかしハワイの平原を馬で駆けてみたい誘惑に勝てず、恐る恐る申し込みました。結果はチャレンジして正解、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。普段はリング内でしか駆け足しないので、トレイルでの駆け足は初めてだし、ウェスタンの鞍や、片手で手綱を操作する方式も初めてでしたが、ガイドのエミリーさんが親切に教えてくれ、イングリッシュ乗馬よりも手綱を緩めるというコツを教わってからは、馬のLibbyちゃんが調子良く走り始めて、軽快なトロットやカンターで丘を駆け上がり、頂上では海と空とオアフの大地が見渡せる素敵な景色が。上級者でなくても、駆け足が出来るようになったら、ぜひ挑戦してみて欲しいです。きっと更に乗馬の魅力が発見出来ますよ。
上級者ツアーは一回につき4人限定だそうです。
尚、牧場があるLaieは、ワイキキからレンタカーで1時間強かかるノースショアにあり、ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターの少し先。ワイキキの天気とは異なる場合があり、当初私が予約した日は、ワイキキは晴天だったが、現地は雨が降ったり止んだりで、トレイルがぬかるんで馬を走らせるのが危険とのことで直前に中止になり、途中で引き返すハメに遭い、たまたま空いてた翌日に予約し直して参加出来ました。ベルトラも現地催行会社も牧場も、とても親切な対応して頂いたので良かったですが、上級コース参加者はワイキキを出発する前に、牧場に直接電話して現地の天候をチェックし、ツアー催行の確認をお勧めします。初心者向けの歩きだけのコースは、多少の雨でも催行出来るそうです。

This was hands down our favorite excursion on the island! Fantastic Crew, great food, fun music, great snorkeling, and lovely boat ride. We went with my mom and our 5 year old son. Both of them chose not to snorkel and still had a blast. Extra bonus, they have a photographer who took tons of photos (even underwater!) at the cost of $40 for the entire flash drive. Really great time! Highly recommend!! We will be back :-)
