乗馬体験(0.5～2時間)　2歳から参加OKの子供向けコースやサンセット、貸切ランチ付きなど選べるコースで広大な牧場を満喫！＜ガンストック牧場／現地集合＞

1.5 hours wasn't enough!! １．５時間じゃ足りなかった～！！

Reviewed by: sae

We participated as a family of three.
My husband had his first horseback riding experience, and my 8-year-old son rode alone for the first time.
Honestly, I thought my husband would have a nonchalant reaction like, "Well, it's for the kid's experience..."
We were even discussing going to the zoo the day before, but there were plenty of animals here (＾ｕ＾).
None of the staff spoke Japanese.
They gave simple explanations and chatted, and just when we were getting ready, a wild horse appeared!!!
It was nerve-wracking to think, "Who will ride it?!" but of course, the staff member rode it (phew!).
Everyone took turns mounting the horse for photos! We got some really wonderful and cool pictures!
For a while after we set off, the photographer walked ahead to take pictures for us.
We climbed the red dirt mountains unique to Hawaii, enjoying the flowers, trees, and birds, and arrived at an amazing scenic spot!!!
In the refreshing breeze, we saw vast grasslands and the ocean.
It was the best!
On the way down, we pointed out the areas with good views, indicating quite a bit higher up the mountain.

I was worried about my 8-year-old, but since the horse was well-trained, there were no issues.
At one point, the horse seemed like it was going to run, and I panicked and stopped it, but my son actually wanted it to run...
My husband, who I was also worried about, said, "I underestimated horseback riding! It was amazing! I want to do it again!" sounding like a kid.

On the way back, we could stop by North and stroll around,
and we will definitely go to Gunstock Ranch again!
I absolutely recommend it!

家族３人で参加しました。
旦那＝初乗馬、息子８歳＝初一人乗り。
正直、旦那の「まあまあ、子供の経験の為にね・・・」的などうでもよかったみたいな感想が来るかと思ってました。
前日の動物園でも行こうか？なんて話してたんですが、
ここで十分な位いろんな動物がいました（＾ｕ＾）
スタッフは全員日本語話せません。
簡単に説明やら雑談やらして、そろそろって時に荒馬登場！！！
「誰が乗るか？！」とドキドキでしたが、勿論スタッフさんが乗りました（ホッ！）
皆、順番で馬にまたがり写真撮影！　　すご～く素敵でかっこいい写真がとれました！
出発して暫くはカメラマンも徒歩で先回りして取ってくれました。
ハワイ特有の赤土の山を、花や木や鳥を見ながら登って行き、すごい風景の場所に到着！！！
気持ちいい風の中、広がる草原、海。
最高でした！
下る途中に、景色の良かった場所はあそこら辺だって、結構山の上の方を指してました。

心配していた８歳も、しつけられた馬だったので問題なし。
途中馬が走りそうになりビビって止めたんですが、本人は走って欲しかったって・・・
こちらも心配していた旦那ですが、「乗馬舐めてた！最高だった！またやりたい！」
と子供の様な事をおっしゃってました。

帰りにノースに寄ってブラブラと出来るし、
次もガンストックランチ行きます!　
絶対おすすめ！

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞＜現地集合可／コオリナ・リゾート内＞

I finally felt like I was abroad! やっと外国にいる感じがした～

Reviewed by: fumikichi

When it comes to tours in Hawaii, I thought there would always be Japanese people, but on the packed bus we were picked up on, we were the only Japanese. Furthermore, during the show, we were probably the only Japanese there as well.

I think this tour may not be suitable for those who cannot speak any English or feel uneasy being around only foreigners, but we finally felt like we were experiencing being abroad, and we had a great time.

Of course, everything from the bus guide to the show was in English, but there were interactive hula shows, and newlywed couples were specially invited to the front for a showtime, so the Americans were actively participating, and we were glad we could join in as well (laughs).

Also, the scenery was amazing!

ハワイのツアーといえば、必ず日本人がいるものだと思いましたが、ピックアップされた満員のバスの中も、日本人が私たちだけ、さらにショーの中でも日本人がおそらく私たちだけでした。
英語が全く話せない人や、外国人だけでは不安という方には向いていないツアーだとは思いますが、私たちは外国にいる感じをやっと味わった気がして、とても楽しく過ごせました。
もちろん、バスガイドも、ショーもすべて英語でしたが、参加型のフラショーや、新婚カップルは、特別に前に出てショータイムがあったりと、アメリカ人の方は積極的に参加するので、負けじと（笑）参加できてよかったです。
あと、風景も最高でしたよ！

Leisurely horseback riding のんびり乗馬

Reviewed by: 旅人初心者

I got hooked on horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch and was looking for other places to ride when I found Gunstock Ranch. I took The Bus, but there was no name at the bus stop. It was a bit of a gamble. No Japanese is spoken at the ranch. However, everyone was very friendly and responded with smiles, which was really nice!! I had a wonderful time riding through areas that made me think, "Are we really going here?!" It was a forest-like setting, and I enjoyed leisurely riding while watching cows and other horses.

クアロア牧場で乗馬にハマりほかに乗馬できるところは無いかと探していたところこちらのガンストック牧場を見つけました。
The Busで行ったのですがバス停に名前はありません。
一か八かです。
牧場では日本語は一切通じません。
通じませんが、みなさん笑顔で対応してくださり、とても親切でした！！
乗馬ではこんなところも行くの？！っと思うような森？だったり、のんびり牛や他の馬などを眺めながらゆったり乗馬したりでとてもいい時間を過ごすことができました。

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

It's always a wonderful experience with Star of Honolulu!

Reviewed by: Ms. Ems

It's my 3rd time with Star of Honolulu and they never fail to amaze me!
I was greeted with a beautiful smile by Kathleen at the ticket office. She was very nice, friendly, and it seems like she was enjoying her job. Before we boarded, the dancers are always very entertaining, a unique way to welcome their guests (yes, I've been to other dinner cruises and only Star of Honolulu has this great idea).
At the boat, here comes the cheerful and very energetic Freddie, who took us to our table. He didn't realize there were eight (8) of us but he was able to accommodate us right away having our own table by the window! He is the Assistant Floor Manager and I was really impressed with his friendliness and bright personality, he is funny too! The couples that we were with are visitors from Canada, celebrating their Silver Wedding Anniversary. I forgot to mention this special occasion when I made the booking so I told Freddie if there’s a way he can announce it after dinner. Knowing how busy they were, I never expected it to happen but I was extremely happy and grateful that he didn't forget. After the Polynesian entertainment, he immediately pulled my couple family towards the stage to make their dance. All the other couples, honeymooners, anniversary celebrants, followed. It was an honor!! Thank you so much Freddie for that, it was a memory of a lifetime for my family.
I would also like to give credit to Jay, who was our server that night, in fact all the crew members because they know how to take care of their guests, they're fast and attentive! The One Star package is not bad at all, I actually like this better than the Three Star believe it or not and IT'S ALL YOU CAN EAT CRAB LEGS!! Yummy! The steak was delicious also, so tender and juicy!
Will definitely cruise with Star of Honolu again and again! True "Aloha" spirit..good impression for those visiting the islands for the first time...greatly satisfied with the services they offer. Thumbs up SOH!!

We spent a week in Oahu at the end of March and visited this ranch with our 6-year-old and 4-year-old daughters. Since we had made a reservation in advance, there were no particularly complicated procedures, and we hardly needed any English, haha. The friendly female staff made the children very happy. However, considering that it takes about two hours round trip from Waikiki, the 30-minute horse ride felt a bit short... The ranch had peacocks running around and was a spacious and lovely place!

3月末から1週間オアフで過ごし、6歳と
4歳の娘たちとこの牧場に遊びに来ました。事前に予約をしているので、特に複雑な手続きなし、英語もほぼ不要でした笑
親切な女性のスタッフで子どもたちも満足してもどってきました^^でもワイキキから往復2時間を考えるとホースライド30分だとちょっと短いかな…。
牧場には、くじゃくが走り回り、広くて素敵な場所でした！

乗馬体験(1.5時間)　ノースショアの海辺を散策！ロマンチックなサンセットプランや貸切プランから選べる　8歳から参加OK！

For beginners 初心者向け

Reviewed by: マウイボーイ

Horseback riding on the sandy beach was only for taking photos; we just slowly walked along the flat path by the coast. The scenery and sea breeze were pleasant. The horse was gentle, so I hardly had to control it and was just sitting there. The staff were kind and beautiful, which was lovely, but honestly... the riding itself wasn't very interesting, so I struggled a lot with the tip after the ride. I think it's suitable for beginners.

砂浜での乗馬は写真撮影の時だけ、海岸脇の平らな歩道をゆっくり散歩するだけでした。景色と海風は気持ち良かったです。馬は大人しいのでほとんど操作することがなく、だだ乗っているだけでした。スタッフは親切でしたし美人さんで素敵だったんですけど、正直・・・乗馬自体は、あまり面白くなかったので乗馬終了後のチップにすごく困りました。初心者向けだと思います。

Reviewed by: sakagami

It was a bit cold, but it wasn't the cold that gave me chills. There was a thrilling feeling from the manly dance performance that felt like a challenge to battle. My lack of language skills is my own fault, so there's nothing I can do about it, but I was still able to enjoy it in my own way. Why not try to feel it with your soul?

少し寒かったですが寒いからゾクゾクしたのではありません。戦いに挑むような男らしいダンス・パフォーマンスに魂からのゾクゾク感がありました。語学不足は自分の精なので仕方ないですがわからないなりに楽しめるものです。魂で感じてみては？

Hawaii Polo Oceanfront Trail Rides - North Shore Horseback Riding Sunset Tour

Must do!

Reviewed by: Alyssa M

This was our family's first time visiting oahu and the ocean front horse back ride was by far our most favorite and memorable experience. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable and the horses are very well cared for (my horse Ike is a retired polo pony). We even had the pleasure of a hawaiian pig named 'wilma' that thinks she's a horse escort our ride. We went on the sunset tour and the landscape is unlike anywhere I have ever seen, so peaceful and breathtaking. Would highly recommend this activity to other families, friends and couples!

Hawaii Polo Oceanfront Trail Rides - North Shore Horseback Riding Sunset Tour

A Wonderful Experience

Reviewed by: Heidi and Sarah

My sister and I have some experince riding horses and were very excited after booking this excursion. When we arrived, it was clear that the horses were well taken care of. The guides, Sarah and Gina, were amazing!! They were very alert and attentive to those who had never ridden before, were informative about the island, answered all of our questions and they were sure to get us to the sunset view in time. Safety was a first priority and Sarah and Gina were very aware of taking great pictures of all of us. The only suggestion I have is that booking this excursion requires a car. We took the bus to the last stop on the route then had to walk three miles to the polo club which was fine on the way in but we had to hitch a ride on the way back because it was after dark and we were not comfortable walking back to the bus stop.

North Shore Private Sunset Horseback Riding & Campfire Dinner at Gunstock Ranch

Beautiful sunset horseback ride and a wonderful campfire dinner!

Reviewed by: Maiwayalways1

Our guide was Greg. He was so sweet and genuine. As we trailed he would give us some history on the names of the cities surrounding the ranch, the different boarding houses for the various horses on the land and we saw roaming cattle and goats. A few roosters and chicken also. The girls really enjoyed themselves on the trail being surrounded by nature here. As we rode uphill and finally reached our camp, you smelled the campfire and saw a breath taking view of the ocean. The sight is amazing! The meal was strip steak, tempura shrimp, rice and mac salad. It was so delicious! And you roasted your own marshmallows for s'mores! As we rode down toward the valley, again you could see the elevation and beautiful land surrounding this huge ranch. This was our second sunset ride@ Gunstock and we will be returning again.

Deluxe package is the only way to go!

Reviewed by: Maiwayalways1

The deluxe package is fantastic. It's pricey but well worth the investment. We had three children with us and the seating was stage side. A great view for the children. The activities were great for our children and the Lava flows were great sipping while they were having fun. The meal was served to us by waitresses and the show was wonderful. We have been to the Polynesian cultural center for their deluxe luau and show and these two luaus were very comparable. Food selection was wider@ the cultural center but the shows were phenomenal. The seating was front row but set back further from stage@ the cultural center but still was entertaining. The kids really enjoyed the fire dance and to see it up close was a treat for all of us. Overall this is a great choice for a luau and the food was good.

Spectacular Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: Gail

This dinner cruise was truly spectacular. We checked in and seemed to be upgraded from the roast beef dinner to the steak and crab dinner. Love it! We were seated at an intimate table for two on the side of the stage and were able to start eating while the rest of the guests were seated with efficiency. It didn't take long for us to be on our way and dinner was served. The steak was medium rare and delicious and the crab (if not a little cold) was wonderful. Entertainment was superb! We enjoyed the beautiful sunset and even spotted a few whales in the distance and enjoyed the Polynesian entertainment. We were able to stroll all decks and since the 2nd deck was not occupied enjoyed a quiet moment before returning to the dock. Enjoyed every minute.

I had a wonderful time at the spacious ranch in the North, swaying gently on horseback in the pleasant breeze! The blue sky, white clouds, green grass, deep green forests, blue ocean, and the dazzling sunlight created a vivid landscape that not only left a lasting impression but also provided an incredible sense of freedom, refreshing my spirit.

Although the staff spoke only English, they were friendly and spoke slowly and kindly to us, even though we are not very proficient in English. Wrapped in a warm atmosphere, I had a very enjoyable and relaxing time, so I highly recommend it! 😊

　ノースの広～い牧場、心地良い風に吹かれて、のんびりと馬の背に揺られてきました！！
空の青色、白い雲、牧草のみどり色、森の深緑色、海の水色、眩しい太陽の日差し、鮮やかな景色が目に焼きつくだけでなく、抜群の解放感で精神的にリフレッシュでき、ホント良かったです。
　言葉は英語のみですが、あまり英語が得意でない日本人の私達にフレンドリー且つ、ゆっくり優しく話してくれ、スタッフの方はアットホームで親切でした。
　ほんわかオーラに包まれ、非常に楽しくリラックスした時間を過ごせますので、ぜひお勧めです。＾＾

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞＜現地集合可／コオリナ・リゾート内＞

Everything will be conducted in English. 全て英語で進行します

Reviewed by: JUNKO

Since I was staying at Aulani, I walked over to see an authentic luau. I knew that all activities would be conducted in English, but when I realized that my conversation skills weren't up to par, the cast members seemed annoyed and were openly speaking negatively (even though I couldn't converse, I could understand). It really depends on the person, but the attitude of the cast was the worst.

Before the show started, there were activities like tattoo painting and bracelet making, but it felt like there was a bit of wasted time. Since I had the deluxe package, I received a gift card worth about $20 or $24, but I couldn't drink that many beverages, so I went to the shop. However, the items on display didn't really spark my interest, and once the show ended, the store closed quickly as the bus for the group departed, so I recommend making your purchases early. In the end, I couldn't even spend about $15.

The content of the show was wonderful, but the food was just okay. As for whether I would go again... honestly, I'm not sure.

アウラニに泊まっていたので、本格的なルアウを見たいと徒歩で向かいました。
全てのアクティビティが英語で進行するのはわかっていましたが、こちらが会話ができるレベルではないことを知ると、面倒くさそうにした上に、思いっきり悪口を言っており（会話はできなくとも、ヒアリングはできるため）人にもよるとは思いますがキャストの態度は最悪でした。
ショーが始まる前にもタトゥーをペイントしたり、ブレスレットを作ったりできますが、やや時間を持て余ます感がありました。
デラックスタイプにしていたので＄２０？２４くらいのギフトカードがついていましたが、飲み物も何杯も飲めないので、売店に行きましたが、購買意欲があまり沸かない商品が陳列してあり、ショーが終わって団体専用のバスが出てしまうと早々に店じまいしてしまうので、早めに商品にしてしまうのがお勧めです。結局私は＄１５ほど使えずに終わってしまいました。
ショーの内容はすばらしかったですが、食事はまぁ、こんなもんかといった感想です。
もう1度行くか・・・というと、正直わかりません。

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

A day that I won't ever forget!

Reviewed by: Ms. Kitty

My friends and I were finally able to get together on Oahu, and we knew that we wanted to spend it out on the water. This cruise was the perfect choice since we got to snorkel at TWO spots (both filled with fish, coral, urchins, etc.), sipped on cocktails, devoured plates and plates of food, watched the sunset AND got to see whales! We literally couldn't ask for more!

After leaving the harbor, we headed out to the first snorkel spot and got the first glimpse of whales and after we got out of the water (which was really warm by the way), we saw even MORE whales!

The food was really hearty and filling (pulled pork, teriyaki chicken, a really tasty pasta salad, white rice, veggies and fruit) and the crew kept all of our drinks topped up :)

Really happy that we got to go on this cruise, and can't wait to go again on my next visit!
