All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

This was our first trip to Hawaii with my sons. My high school-aged eldest son wanted to try horseback riding, so we made a reservation. It seemed to be quite popular, and even after booking, we were on a waiting list for a long time. Finally, on our fifth attempt, we managed to secure a spot! However, I was disappointed to find out that we had booked a course without the complimentary gift that was included in the same price. When I inquired after making the reservation, I learned that changes were not allowed and that I would have to cancel and rebook. I was already tired of waiting, so I decided to forgo the gift.

The scenery was stunning, the horses were adorable, and it was a truly valuable experience. We could see the ocean, ride through deep forests, and feel the grandeur of nature with sharp rocky mountains around us. At first, I was nervous, but as I got used to it, I enjoyed taking photos and chatting. I found it wasn't as physically taxing as I had read in reviews.

My middle school-aged second son said he wants to go mountain biking through the forest next time. We all made wonderful memories as a family.

息子たちと初めてのハワイ、高校生の長男が乗馬をしてみたい、と言うので申し込んだ。
人気なのか、予約をしてもリクエスト待ちで中々予約が取れず5回目にしてやっととれた！と思ったら無料のプレゼントがついてないコースで申し込んでしまって残念。
同じ金額でプレゼントがついていて、それを使いたかったので予約後に問い合わせたところ変更不可、一度キャンセルしてまた予約してもらう事になるとのこと。またリクエスト待ちはうんざりだったのでプレゼントは断念した。

景色は素晴らしく馬も可愛く、とても貴重な体験だった。海が見え、深い森の中、尖った岩山、大自然を肌で感じた。
初めはドキドキだったけど慣れてくると写真を撮ったり話をしたり楽しめた。
口コミで見たより身体は痛くなかった。


中学生の次男は次はマウンテンバイクで森を走りたいと言ってました。
家族みんなで良い思い出ができました。

Captain Bob's was great and the crew was fantastic. Volleyball on the sand bar was so much fun!

It was simply not interesting to just walk while horseback riding. It was a boring two hours with the same scenery. The attendant woman was unfriendly, and it was unpleasant to stop midway for pointless checks of the heels.

ただ単に乗馬で歩くだけで面白くない。同じ景色で退屈な2時間だった。アテンドの女性も愛想が悪く、途中で止めては意味のない踵の確認して不愉快だった。

I was able to enjoy horseback riding while fully immersing myself in the magnificent nature! Crossing streams and climbing hills felt like being in a scene from a movie; it was the best horseback riding experience. They also take commemorative photos with the horse you rode, making for memorable snapshots. The horses were all smart and incredibly cute! If you come to Kualoa Ranch, I highly recommend horseback riding!

雄大な大自然を満喫しながら乗馬を楽しむことができました！
小川を渡ったり　坂道を登ったりと　まるで
映画のワンシーンにいるかのごとく　最高の乗馬を体験できました。
また　自分の乗った馬さんとの記念撮影もしてくれるので思い出のフォトシットとなりました。
馬さん達も　みんな利口でとってもかわいかったですょ！
クアロア・ランチに来たら　乗馬おすすめです‼︎

Ashlyn was a great tour guide! Pointed out many animals and very knowledgeable and so funny!

The breathtaking views and the exhilarating experience of racing through the mountain trails on a buggy were amazing! The price is high, so I hesitated quite a bit when making the reservation, but it was worth every penny!

圧巻の絶景と、バギーでスリリングに山道を走り抜ける爽快さが最高でした！
料金が高いので、予約時にかなり踏ん張りましたが、それ以上の価値があります！

It was the best. The scenery, the air, and driving the buggy were all amazing. The time spent was even more fulfilling than I expected, and the cost performance was top-notch! I definitely want to do it again.

さいこーでした。
景色、空気、バギーを運転しながら突き進む。時間も思っていた以上に充実していて、コスパも最強！
また是非やりたいと思います。

Guides were great. Reese & ?? brought vast knowledge of the geography and culture not to mention the history of Oahu. Lot of fun, ATV ran great. No surprises at all. The only thing that they might improve on is the check in process. I realize that being a Saturday, it would be busy, but there was confusion as to where and which line you need to be in for the check-in process. We were pre-paid so why did we have to wait for all those in front of us who did not pre-pay for their event? Wasted 20-30 minutes in line.

Our UTV tour was incredible. Guides were very knowledgeable of Hawaiian culture and history. Reece was hilarious and so welcoming. Highly recommend!

I participated in the event that started at 9 AM. There are food and drinks sold at the concession stand. You can store your belongings in a locker with in-and-out access for the day ($5). Instructors provide safety instructions here and there, but generally, you progress on your own. I rode for a solid two hours. The scenery was unbelievably beautiful; it was the best.

朝9時スタートのに参加。売店に食べ物飲み物売っている。一日出し入れ自由のロッカー（5ドル）に荷物を入れる。所々でインストラクターが注意事項を言いながら、基本自分達でどんどん進んで行くスタイル。2時間みっちり乗った。信じられないくらいの素晴らしい景色、最高でした。

our kids did not stop smiling, plus the guides are so funny while knowledgeable!

It was the best experience. I thought two hours of horseback riding would be long, but once I actually experienced it, it flew by. I was able to feel the great nature of the sea and mountains, and passing by horses and cows was something I could only experience here.

最高の体験ができました。2時間も乗馬長いなと思ってましたが、実際体験してみるとあっという間でした。大自然の海と山を感じることができ、馬や牛の横を通ったりとここでしか味わえないです。

My first horseback riding experience. Riding non-stop for two hours on a rough path was tough on my body. My knees especially became shaky. At one point, I wanted to get off the horse and take pictures at a movie filming location. However, I’m glad I got to try horseback riding at least once.

初めての乗馬体験。
それがいきなり足場の悪い道を２時間乗りっぱなしは、体にこたえました。
特に膝がガクガクになりました。
途中、映画のロケ地で馬から降りて写真を撮りたかったですね。
ただ、一度は乗馬をしてみたかったので、できて良かったです。

It was my first experience. I couldn't stop feeling excited and nervous. It was very thrilling. However, be careful as there is a lot of dust.

初めての体験。
ワクワクドキドキが止まりません。
とてもスリリングでした。
ただ，すごく砂煙りを被るので、ご注意を。

The location was thrilling, and I had a great time. It was a longer course than I expected, and the scenery was amazing.

ロケーション、スリル満点、楽しい時間を過ごせました。思って
いたよりロングコースで、景色が最高の所でした。

At first, my relationship with the somewhat awkward horse was a bit stiff, but after riding for two hours, we started to connect. Although it was sunny in Honolulu, it began to rain when we arrived, which was a bit different from the scenery I had envisioned, but walking with the horse provided the best views. There were only a few movie filming locations, but I think it was much more enjoyable than driving around. I want to come back and try again on a sunny day!

初めはぎこちないお馬さんとの関係も、乗ってるうちに気持ちが通い合うような２時間でした。
ホノルルは晴れてたのに着くと雨が振り始め、夢に描いていた景色とは少し違ってたけれど、お馬さんとの散歩は最高の景色でした。
映画のロケ地は少しでしたが、車に乗って周るよりずっと楽しいと思います。
またいつか晴れた日にリベンジしたい！

I have wanted to ride horses for many years, and I was able to fulfill that dream at Kualoa Ranch. Some people say it can be tough on the back and knees, but my 46-year-old self and my high school daughter found it enjoyable and not too strenuous. However, even though it was February, Hawaii is still hot, so long sleeves (for sun protection) are a must.

Depending on the experience time, there can be a significant wait for the bus on the way to and from the ranch, so it's best to be prepared for that.

長年乗馬をしたいと思っていて、クアロアランチで叶えることが出来ました。
人によっては腰や膝にくる、と言いますが46才の私と高校生の娘はさほどキツくもなく楽しく乗れました。
ただ、2月でしたがやはりハワイは暑く長袖(日焼け対策)は必須です。

体験時間によっては行き帰りのバスの時間に相当な待ちが生じるのでそこは覚悟していた方がいいです。

What a great experience and wonderful adventure. My grandson who has autism was on FaceTime when we stopped and was so happy to get to experience some of this trip.

While slowly taking photos and enjoying the view of the vast ocean, I also spotted dolphins along the way. It was simply wonderful.

大海原を見ながらゆっくりと写真もとりながら、途中でイルカをも見つけました。とにかく、素晴らしかったです。

If you speak Japanese well, you can call for assistance at any time upon arrival. I was reassured to hear that even during the activities, the staff would respond in Japanese if requested.

The instructor who arrived was able to incorporate some basic Japanese, which made the experience enjoyable.

The scenery was amazing! At one point where we could see the ocean, we were lucky enough to spot whale spray! Although we didn't see the whale itself, it's not something you encounter often. It was a lucky moment!

I had a great time. The horses were very well-behaved, and I had no worries at all.

　日本語バッチリの方が、到着時に何かあったらいつでも呼んでください。とあり、アクティビティ途中でも、係の方に頼めば直ぐに日本語での対応してくれると言うことでしたので、まず安心できました。
　着いてくれたインストラクターの方も片言の日本語を盛り込みながら楽しむことが出来ました。
景色は最高！途中で海が見えるところでは、運良くクジラのしぶきを確認！クジラは見えなかったけれど、そんなにあることじゃないよ。ラッキーです！と
とても楽しめました。馬もとてもお利口さんで全く心配ありませんでした。

You can see wonderful scenery. There are several stops where the guide provides explanations, but everything is in English, so those who do not speak English may not understand the content at all. Since there is a lot of dust, it's recommended to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.

素晴らしい景色を見れます。
いくつかのポイントで停車して、ガイドの方が説明をしてくれますが、全て英語なので英語が出来ない方は説明の内容が一切わからないと思います。
砂埃がすごいので、汚れても良い服装がオススメです。

One of our favorite events of the week. Crew was funny and professional. Beach volleyball was super fun. We saw two turtles while snorkeling! Also wonderful that they have a free shuttle for dropoff and pickup

My husband and I did the side by side tour and it was nothing short of amazing! The views were breathtaking and the tour guide was so knowledgeable about the land and gave fun facts about Hawaii and surrounding areas. At each stop the tour guides made sure everyone got their pictures and were willing to lend a hand in getting the best pictures of your group. Next time we will have to bring our kids and plan to do more activities at the ranch. We could have spend a whole day, or two doing it all. The property was clean and well managed and the air conditioned bathrooms were a plus! We would 10/10 recommend this activity!

It exceeded the excitement I had before making the reservation, delivering an intensity and exhilaration that I couldn't have imagined. Since I didn't understand the English explanations very well, I enjoyed the location. The off-road paths were fun, and rushing through the last puddle was thrilling.

予約する前の楽しみを遥かに超えてきて、想像がつかなかったくらいの迫力と爽快感、アクティブさを感じました。英語の説明はあまり理解できなかったのでロケーションを楽しみました。オフロードの道が楽しく最後の水溜りを駆け抜けるところはスリル満点でした。

The staff is very friendly, helpful, and have a sense of humor! For the zip lining. It’s was fun! The short “hikes” weren’t too bad. Waiting stations with cups available were also on every other zip line area.

The scenery was amazing! The UTV ride so fun. Only suggestion is to slow it down just a little so the driver can enjoy the view more. Driver had to focus on driving too much

Although it was the rainy season, there was a break in the weather before we set off, so we left our jackets in the car and started out in short sleeves. However, as we headed towards the mountains, a cold drizzle began to fall. At first, we enjoyed the bumps of the buggy and splashing through puddles, but since there was no front window, rain poured in while driving, soaking our seats and leaving us completely drenched. By the end, it was too cold and quite uncomfortable.

The instructor was humorous and kind, taking photos for us. However, the instructor was dressed warmly in a raincoat and long sleeves and pants, so I thought it would have been nice if they had offered to lend us raincoats at least.

The advertisement featured a photo of passing through the Jurassic World gate, which my husband seemed to be looking forward to, but we only stopped at about three points, and we passed by what seemed to be the gate without stopping. My husband, a huge Jurassic Park fan, was a bit disappointed.

I think it's best to participate in this activity with the mindset of enjoying the magnificent mountains and nature in a buggy.

雨季であはりますが出発前は晴れ間があったのでジャケットなどは車に置いて半袖で出発。しかし山の方へ進むと霧雨のような冷たい雨が降り始めました。初めはバギーの揺れや水たまりをバシャバシャと走り楽しんでいましたが、フロントの窓がないので運転中雨が降りこんで席も濡れてしまい全身びしょ濡れになりました。最後の方は寒すぎて辛かったです。
インストラクターさんはユーモアがあり写真を撮ってくれたりと親切でした。しかし、インストラクターさんだけレインコートと長袖長ズボンで暖かそうな装いだったので、せめてレインコートの貸し出しなどの声かけがあるといいなと思いました。
広告にはジュラシックワールドのゲートをくぐる写真があったので主人はそれを期待していたようでしたが、ストップポイントは3つほどでゲートと思われるところも素通り。ジュラシックパーク大ファンの主人は少しがっかりしていました。
バギーで壮大な山々と自然を楽しむアクティビティと思って参加するといいと思います。

I rode for two hours.
I was able to enjoy a panoramic view of the sea and mountains in the great outdoors. I was excited to visit a location that served as the setting for the 1993 film Jurassic Park.
Since I was riding for two hours straight, be careful of muscle soreness.

2時間騎乗してきました。
大自然の中で海、山を一望することができました。山コースでは、1993年公開のジュラシックパークの舞台となった場所に行くことができ興奮しました。【作品はジュラシックパーク1です。】
2時間騎乗しっぱなしなので、筋肉痛には注意を

At the pickup location at Twin Fin, several buses were parked, and there was no clear guidance on which bus to take, making it difficult to know where to go. Driving the buggy myself was a lot of fun, and I felt like a child again as I raced around the magnificent scenery. The weather was great and refreshing. Next time, I plan to try horseback riding.

ピックアップ場所のツインフィンには数台のバスが止まっていて特に案内があるわけでもなくどのバスに乗ればいいのかわかりずらかったです
バギーは自分で運転し壮大な景色を走り回り童心に戻るくらい楽しかったです
お天気も良く爽快でした
次回は乗馬体験に来ようと思います

It was a two-hour experience of rain coming and going. I was worried about whether I could enjoy it, but the misty scenery was fantastic. I was anxious about riding for two hours, but the smart horse mostly moved on its own. The instructor used a little Japanese, but it was mostly in English. I couldn't understand most of it, but I had a very enjoyable time riding for the first time in the great outdoors. Thank you very much.

雨が降ったり止んだりの2時間でした
楽しめるか心配でしたが　もやのかかった景色も幻想的でよかったです
2時間も馬に乗るのは不安でしたが賢いお馬さんでほぼ自分で進んでいってくれました
インストラクターの方は少し日本語を使ってくれましたがほぼ英語です
聞き取れない箇所がほとんどでしたが初めての乗馬と大自然の中でとても楽しい時間を過ごせました
ありがとうございました
