クアロア・ランチ　乗馬体験(2時間)　映画ロケ地にもなった雄大な大自然を馬に乗って満喫！＜送迎付きプランあり＞

A tour to explore breathtaking views while riding a well-behaved horse! 【Introduction to the tour itinerary】 おりこうなお馬に乗って絶景を巡るツアー！【ツアーの流れ紹介】

Reviewed by: にまめ

The scenery was absolutely stunning, and the horses were very well-behaved. It was a fun tour! I booked a horseback riding tour with transportation included.

【Pickup】
We gathered at the front entrance of the hotel next to the one we were staying at at 8:30 AM. The shuttle bus arrived right on time, and we boarded after confirming our names. I had to show my passport, but it was fine to just present one for the person who made the reservation. The bus was freezing cold! Make sure to bring a long-sleeve shirt! After about a 45-minute ride, we arrived.

【Check-in】
We sat on benches with the other passengers from the bus while a staff member from Kualoa Ranch explained things. Since it was in English, I could hardly understand what was being said, haha. When my name was called, I received a ticket (a flimsy piece of paper about the size of A5). It had the details of the tour I booked and the return bus time. After getting the ticket, we moved to another area for an explanation about the ranch. The staff directed us, saying things like, "Those going on the buggy tour, gather over there!" and "Those on the movie location tour, gather over there!" We received explanations about the meeting places, times, and locations of souvenir shops and cafes. I understood bits and pieces of the words, and then we dispersed until it was time.

【Lockers】
Participants in the horseback riding tour can only bring their smartphones as cameras and minimal belongings; everything else should be stored in lockers. There are plenty of lockers available. They have Japanese support, so I think operating them won't be a problem. It's $5 for the day, and you can open and close them freely!

【Restroom】
I prepared myself for dirty restrooms since it was overseas and at a ranch, but I was pleasantly surprised by how clean they were! The outdoor unisex portable toilets were spacious and completely usable! That was a relief! I recommend using the restroom at the souvenir shop area for water.

【Horseback Riding Tour】
Since we had two hours until our scheduled time, we relaxed in the shade. I wasn't hungry yet and felt a bit sleepy, so I dozed off until it was time. We went to the horseback riding check-in 15 minutes early and signed a consent form. I signed my name in English as it appeared on my passport on a green piece of paper, along with my age in kanji. After that, we watched a short instructional video about horseback riding in Japanese. I put on the helmet I was given. The sizes of helmets for Japanese and foreigners are different, haha. As long as it fits, it was okay, so I ended up wearing a strangely sized helmet, haha. They gave us a small pouch to attach to the saddle, where we could put our cameras and such. By the way, during the instructional video, they said video recording was prohibited, but a Japanese staff member happened to be there and said, "That video is old; it says no recording because big video cameras are dangerous, but small ones like GoPros or phone cameras are fine." Thanks to that, I was able to capture a lot of videos!

Once you get on the horse, you won't get off until you return. We toured the filming locations, but there weren't any detailed explanations; we just understood where we were by looking at the signs. However, the views were breathtaking everywhere, and just riding a horse through such scenery (even though the horses were smart enough to follow the route on their own, haha) was incredibly enjoyable. My horse and my companion's horse kept munching on grass, though, haha.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed, and just as my backside started to hurt, the tour ended. It was so much fun!

【Return Bus】
We had about two hours until the return bus. I was getting hungry, so I had a classic burger, and my companion had loco moco. It was delicious!

For the return bus, we waited outside the cafe where we were instructed when we arrived. As the time approached, people started gathering, and we were called to board. However, whe

景色が最高によくてお馬さんもお利口で、楽しいツアーでした！
送迎付きの乗馬ツアーを予約しました。

【お迎え】
朝8:30に宿泊していたホテルの隣のホテルの正面玄関に集合しました。
時間ぴったりにお迎えのバスが来て、名前の確認をして乗り込みます。
その際パスポートを提示しました。
ツアーを予約した代表者一名分で大丈夫です。
バスの中はすっごい寒いです！長袖持参必須！！
45分程度走って到着しました。

【チェックイン】
乗ってきたバスの乗客の皆さんと共にベンチへ座り、クアロア牧場のスタッフの方が説明をしてくれます。英語なので何を言ってるかほとんどわかりませんでした笑
名前を呼ばれてチケット（という名のA5くらいのペラい紙）を渡されます。
予約したツアーと帰りのバスの時間が書かれています。
チケットをもらったら場所を移動して、牧場の説明を受けます。
バギーの人〜！その人たちはあっちに集合。映画ロケ地巡りツアーの人〜！あなた達はあっちに集合。と、説明されていきます。
集合場所と時間とその他のお土産屋さんやカフェの場所など説明を受けました。単語単語だけなんとなく理解したところで時間まで解散。

【ロッカー】
乗馬ツアーに参加する人はカメラがわりのスマホと最小限の荷物だけを持って他はロッカーにしまいます。
ロッカーはたくさんあります。
日本語対応しているので操作は問題ないと思います。
1日5ドルで開け閉め自由です！

【トイレ】
海外…しかも牧場…
トイレが汚いのを覚悟して行きましたが、拍子抜けするぐらい綺麗でした！
特に外のユニセックスの仮設トイレ？みたいなところは広々としていて、全然問題なく使えました！
助かった！
水道はお土産屋さんのところのトイレを利用するといいと思います。

【乗馬ツアー】
予約時間まで2時間あったので日陰でのんびり待ってました。
お腹もまだ空いていないし、眠たいしでうとうとしている間に時間が来ました。
15分前に乗馬の受付に行き、同意書にサインします。
緑色の紙にパスポートの英語表記の名前、年齢、漢字でサインをしました。
その後日本語で乗馬の簡単なレッスンのビデオを見ました。
渡されたヘルメットを被ります。
日本人の頭と外国の方の頭はサイズが違うので…笑
とりあえず被れればOKということで変なサイズのヘルメットを被りました笑
鞍のツノにつけられる小物入れを渡されますので、その中にカメラなどを入れます。
ちなみに、乗馬の説明ビデオの中でビデオ撮影は禁止、と言われますが日本人スタッフの方がたまたまいて、「あれは古い映像だからビデオの機械が大きいと危ないからダメって言ってるけど、最近の小さいGoProとか携帯のカメラならビデオOK」と言われました。おかげさまでたくさん動画も残せました！

一度馬に乗ったら戻ってくるまで降りることはありません。
ロケ地を巡りますが特に詳しい説明などはなく、立て看板を見てなるほどここがジュラシックワールドのロケ地ね、などと勝手に理解していくタイプです。
ただ、どこをとっても絶景なのでそんな中を自らが操る馬に乗って（といっても馬達はお利口なのでただ乗ってるだけでルートを進んでくれます笑）巡るだけでも十分楽しいと思います。
私と同行者の馬はめちゃくちゃ道草を食べましたが（笑）

あっという間に2時間が経ち、そろそろお尻も痛くなってきた頃ツアーも終わります。
とっても楽しかったです！

【帰りのバス】
帰りのバスまでも2時間程度時間がありました。
流石にお腹も空いてきたので、私はクラシックバーガーを。同行者はロコモコを食べました。美味しかったです！

帰りのバスはカフェの外、来た時に説明を受けたあたりで座って待っていると時間になるにつれてぞろぞろと人が集まってきて呼ばれて乗り込むことになります。
ただ、私たちが行った時は3台のバスが並べられて、どこどこ行きの人はこのバス！どこどこ行きの人はこのバス！とスタッフの方が英語で説明するのを聞いて乗り込む事になります。わからなければチケットに書かれた場所をスタッフの方に見せてどのバスに乗ればいいか聞くといいと思います！
帰りは道が混んでいたので1時間と少しかかって朝の集合場所へ戻ってきました。大体16:30ごろ戻ってきたと思います。

日本の乗馬体験では自分で馬を操るというのはなかなか難しいですが、ヘルメット一つの軽装(？)で自分で馬を操って2時間も歩く乗馬体験は海外ならではですね。
とっても楽しい1日になりました！

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎ シュノーケリング貸切クルーズ　豪華なラウンジボートやスピードボートでプライベート時間を満喫＜6名まで／英語クルー＞

I was moved. 感動しました

Reviewed by: ますこ

Since we had a large group, mostly consisting of people in their 60s and above, we decided to rent a private boat. It was great to be able to do things at our own pace. The captain was cheerful and charming, which made the experience very enjoyable. Although some members of our group didn't understand any English, it was very helpful that they used simple words. Even though it was a private boat, there were other participants nearby, and having Japanese staff made us feel at ease. The spam onigiri that was provided as a snack was delicious.

大人数で、60代以上が多かったので思い切って貸切ボートにしました。色々とマイペースにできてよかったです。船長さんも明るく可愛いかたでとても楽しめました。英語は少しもわからないメンバーでしたが、簡単な単語を使ってくれてとても助かりました。貸切ボートといっても、アクティビティは他の参加者さんもちかくにいるので、日本人スタッフもいて安心できました。

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

What an AMAZING trip!!!

Reviewed by: Rich and Gidget

From the beginning the crew made us feel completely comfortable. The trip out to the sandbar was relaxing yet exciting at the same time as we looked back upon the shoreline admiring the greenery that the island presented. The sandbar was just breathtaking!!! It was so amazing to think that we were standing in the ocean on a beach....crazy! The cruise around afterwards presented not only some sea turtles, but two large schools of manta rays feeding on the surface.
Overall trip was completely enjoyable and we plan on bringing all of our friends and family when they visit!!!!
On a side note, parking is extremely difficult in/on the marina, so just park on the side of the highway (everyone does) and it's just a short walk to the boat.
Make this one of your excursions when you visit!!!!!

We signed up for the basic course for two people and enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling. After kayaking, we went snorkeling, but since I'm not comfortable in deep water, I thought it would have been better to borrow a life jacket. It was also fun to travel by bike to the snorkeling spot. Since it was a self-guided course without a guide, I felt a bit anxious, but I was grateful that Natsue, a Japanese staff member, kindly assisted us, so we were able to enjoy ourselves without any issues. I hope to participate again next time and challenge myself to kayak a bit further and hopefully encounter a honu (sea turtle).

Reviewed by: ぴょんぴょん

I had been thinking about going to Kualoa Ranch for a while, and finally went with my mother.

It seems that if you sign up on-site, there are one-hour and two-hour courses available, but this tour was the two-hour course. The two hours flew by in no time. If you're going to do it, I definitely recommend the two-hour course.

You can explore every corner of the vast Kualoa Ranch and fully enjoy Hawaii's magnificent nature. We even got to drive among a herd of cows, which was quite fun.

They provided confirmations before boarding in Japanese, and the guide was friendly, taking videos and photos when we handed over our smartphones. My elderly mother was also thrilled, and it was a fulfilling day! I highly recommend it.

クアロアランチ、いつか行こうと思いつつなんとなく「また今度」になっていましたが、母と参加してきました。
現地申込み？だと１時間コースと２時間コースがあるようですが、こちらのツアーは２時間コース。

広大なクアロアランチの隅から隅を巡り、ハワイの壮大な自然を満喫できます。
牛の群れの間を走行したりもできました（これがなかなか楽しかった）。

乗車前の確認などは日本語でしてくれ、ガイドさんもフレンドリーでスマホを渡すと動画などの撮影もして下さいます。
高齢の母も大興奮の充実した１日でした！

The activity exceeded our expectations!
The crew did a get job explaining the rules, what to expect, and why. I felt safe and they included everybody and were interactive, very friendly and personable. This was my first time snorkeling, so I was a little nervous, but they put me at ease. It was truly amazing —-we got to see the giant sea turtles!!!
I also saw at least seven or eight different fish along the reef. And I even was swimming with beautiful school of fish below me!
I like the fact that they introduced us at the sandbar and let us get warmed up to snorkeling, and we had a game of volleyball before we went to the reef. They grilled hamburgers and had barbecued beans, and it was a delicious lunch!
all in all it was a great day, and a memory I will always cherish. I highly recommend this activity and tour to anybody going to Hawaii.

クアロア・ランチ　乗馬体験(2時間)　映画ロケ地にもなった雄大な大自然を馬に乗って満喫！＜送迎付きプランあり＞

A very pleasant course. とても気持ちの良いコース

Reviewed by: るーてぃあす

This is a tour that takes you along hilly mountain paths on a leisurely horseback ride. The scenery is beautiful, and the weather is pleasant, making it a very enjoyable experience. There are explanations about movie filming locations and ruins at various points, but since you pass by while still on the horse, I think a different tour would be better for those who want to take photos at the filming locations. The guide speaks only English. There is a video in Japanese regarding precautions before horseback riding. On the day I participated, there were a total of six people, and one guide accompanied us. It was unfortunate that if you got too far from the guide, you could hardly hear anything.

All the horses are well-trained and follow the horse in front, so even those without riding experience can enjoy it. However, the instructions from the guide are given in English using the horses' names, such as "The person on [horse name], please go faster," which might be a bit daunting for those who don't speak any English.

One disappointing point was that one of my companions had stirrups that were too short, and even though it was known before departure, we set off without changing horses or equipment, which led to foot pain later on. Generally, they adjust for people of average build to ensure comfort, but it was unfortunate that a tall person ended up with a horse that had short stirrups.

ゆったりとした並足のみの乗馬で起伏のある山道を行くツアーです。とても景色がよく、気候も良くてとても気持ちが良いです。ところどころ映画ロケ地の解説や遺跡(?)の解説がありますが、常に馬に乗ったまま通り過ぎる形なのでロケ地で写真を撮りたい人には違うツアーの方が良いと思います。英語のみのガイドです。乗馬前の注意事項に関する動画は日本語のものもあります。参加した回は全部で6人で、1人のガイドが付いていました。ガイドから離れてしまうとほとんど聞こえないのが残念。
お馬さんたちはみんなしっかりとトレーニングされていて前の子について歩くので乗馬経験がなくても楽しめます。ただ、ガイドからの指示は英語で馬の名前を使って「○○に乗っている人もっと早く」という感じで出されるので英語が全くできない人には少し不安かもしれません。
1点残念だったのが同行者の鐙が短すぎて、出発前からそれがわかっていたのに馬を変えたり装具を変えたりすることなく出発したため後々足が痛くなってしまったことです。一般的な体形の人であれば一番楽になるように都度調整してくれますが、たまたま身長の高い人が短い鐙をつけた馬に当たってしまったのが残念でした。

best choice we made during our family trip in Hawaii!

Reviewed by: DKH

Secret Island is a very special place for our family. my daughter got a wedding in Moli'i garden and secret island during Covid.
we have a wonderful memory of her wedding with our closed family and friends only under 20 people.
it was a magical experience,so we had been always talking how we can go back to the island.
and we finally planned a family trip to Hawaii this spring, and we have been searched many different websites which offers a tour to the secret island.

this website did not have many reviews compared to other major travel websites, but their prices were the best so we decided to give it a shot.

and the decision was the best!
the reservation process, confirmation, instructions and everything was GREAT!
it was a little bit of cold and rainy day so we were the only group going to the island that day. we basically rented the entire island to ourselves.

we highly recommend this webstie for Kualoa ranch tour!

Good fun for families

Reviewed by: Kelly

We enjoyed our half-day experience. As tourists, the Secret Island experience was nice because it satisfied my desire to do kayaking and paddle boarding. The beach was nice for young kids because they had supplies to build sand-castles, however that is the most of what my young children really enjoyed. In retrospect, most of the activities there would be best for older children and teenagers to really enjoy. For families with younger children, it may be best to buy some sand toys and head to a local beach.

The sunlight was strong, and there were times when tall grass and branches could hit you, so I recommend wearing long sleeves. Also, if you can't use your card for the dedicated lockers, you'll need to use cash, so it's a good idea to have $5 on hand.

Enjoying the great outdoors. 大自然を満喫

Reviewed by: UPDOWN

While there may be various opinions, I highly recommend visiting Kualoa Ranch at least once. You’ll get used to driving the buggy in about five minutes. It’s amazing to enjoy such great nature just about an hour from downtown Honolulu.

The instructors speak entirely in English, and while I didn’t understand everything 100%, they provide detailed and enjoyable explanations about Hawaii’s history and legends.

There are warnings regarding dirt, but in reality, it wasn’t that bothersome. The smell of the helmet was a bit noticeable, but aside from that, given the opportunity to enjoy nature and interact with animals, some dirt and smell are somewhat unavoidable.

Overall, I think it was a very good experience.

色々と賛否もあると思いますが、クアロア牧場は一度は行くことをお勧めいたします。
バギーの運転も5分で慣れます。
ホノルル市内から1時間程度でここまで大自然を満喫できるのは最高です。

インストラクターの方はすべて英語で、私も100%理解はできておりませんが、
ハワイの歴史や言い伝えなどかなり詳しく丁寧に(楽しく)説明してくれます。

汚れに等に関しても注意勧告はありますが、実際はそれほど汚れは気になりませんでした。
若干ヘルメットの匂いが少し気になった程度です(笑)
ただ、大自然を満喫し、動物たちと触れ合う以上、汚れや匂いはある程度仕方のないことです。

トータルで考慮して、とても良い経験だったと思います。

It was my first time horseback riding, and it was amazing. 初めての乗馬でしたが最高でした

Reviewed by: ぬぬー

I was a beginner at horseback riding with limited English. First, we watched a short Japanese video, and that was the end of the explanation. After that, I was guided by an English-speaking guide to ride the horse. The guide gave simple instructions in Japanese like "right," "left," "kick," and "pull," so I didn't have any particular trouble with the language. I ended up being at the front, and there were times when I felt anxious not knowing the way when the guide was at the back. However, the horse was smart and knew the way, so even when I gave incorrect instructions, it still took the right path. It was my first time riding, but the interactions with the horse were very enlightening, and it was a wonderful experience.

英語カタコトで初乗馬のものです。
まず短い日本語のビデオを見て説明は終わりです。あとは英語のガイドさんに誘導されるまま馬に乗せられます。ガイドさんは右・左・蹴って・引っ張って、などの簡単な日本語で指示をしてくれるので、言葉は特に困りませんでした。私は先頭になってしまい、ガイドさんが後列についているときは道が分からず不安な時はありましたが、馬が賢く道をわかっているので私が間違えた指示をだしても正しい道に入ってくれました。乗馬は初めてでしたが、馬とのやり取りはすごく気づかされることも多く、すばらしい体験でした。

Reviewed by: きゃきゃきゃ

They intentionally made the road bumpy. It depends on the driver's skill, but my husband drove roughly on purpose, making it feel like a roller coaster, and our 9-year-old was screaming the whole time. At one point, we sped right into a puddle, and we all ended up covered in mud, haha. Of course, the other buggies remained clean. With ups and downs, puddles, rivers, and magnificent scenery, it was an incredibly fun two hours! (I thought it would be two hours including the briefing, but we actually drove for a full two hours, haha.) The staff were all very friendly. You can enjoy it even if you know nothing about Jurassic Park. By the way, all the explanations along the way are in English.

I realized after the tour that I had dropped my phone during the trip. It's better to bring a bag that closes securely. When I informed them about the lost phone, they said they would call if it was found. A few days later, I received a call from a Japanese person saying it had been found. They seemed to be considerate since I am Japanese (even though they connected me with a completely different department). We had already moved to the Big Island, but that person coordinated with their boss and sent my phone to the Big Island. It arrived the next day, so I was able to receive it safely before returning home, and I am very grateful.

あえて道をボコボコにしてあるんですね。ドライバーの技量にもよりますが、主人はわざと荒く運転したのでまるでジェットコースターのようで9歳の子供がずっとキャーキャー言ってました。途中の水たまりでは思いっきりスピードを出して突っ込み、我が家は全員泥だらけになりました笑。もちろん他のバギーたちは綺麗なままです。アップダウンあり、水たまりあり、川あり、雄大な景色ありで、めちゃくちゃ楽しい2時間でした！（事前説明含めて2時間かと思ったら、ちゃんと2時間走ります。笑）スタッフもみんな親切です。ジュラシックパークを何も知らなくても楽しいです。ちなみに途中の解説は全て英語です。

ツアー道中で携帯を落としてしまったことに、ツアー後に気づきました。口がしっかり閉まるバッグを持って行った方が良いです。携帯を落としたことを伝えたところ、見つかったら電話すると言ってくれました。数日後に見つかったと日本人の方から電話がありました。私が日本人なので気遣ってくれたようです（全然異なる部署にも関わらず繋いで下さったようです）。私たちは既にハワイ島に移動していたのですが、その方は上司と掛け合って下さり、携帯をハワイ島まで送って下さいました。翌日着で届けて下さったため、帰国前に無事に受け取ることができ感謝しかありません。

When we arrived, it was raining, but by the time we had lunch, the weather cleared up, and the view was amazing! The two-hour buggy ride was quite long, and we got soaked in puddles multiple times! Haha, make sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty! Haha.

But the scenery was so beautiful, it felt like a processed photo, and it was very soothing. They also provided explanations about the filming locations, and we stopped at photo spots to take pictures and have fun! I definitely want to participate again next time!

着いた時は雨が降っていたのですが、ランチしている間に天気が晴れてきて、最高の景色でした！2時間のバギーは結構長く、何度も水溜りでビチャビチャになりました！笑汚れてもいい服で行ってください！笑
でも景色は加工写真のように綺麗で癒されました。ロケ地の説明もして下さり、写真スポットで停車して写真撮影して楽しみました！ぜひまた次回も参加したいです！

Kualoa Ranch Movie Sites Tour - Visit TV Shows & Hollywood Filming Locations

Loved it! A bit of WW2 & Movie History with great scenic views.

Reviewed by: Michael C.

I enjoy learning about WW2, so this was a nice tour for me. Seeing movie sites was super cool too. Our tour guide was great and very informative - but I'm sure this will be the luck of the draw for which guide you get.

Heavenly Sea 天国の海

Reviewed by: ゆうママ

I was looking forward to the heavenly sea, but unfortunately, it was rainy and a bit chilly, which was disappointing. However, the staff were friendly, and even though the water was murky, it was fun to dive and see the fish. I want to try again on a sunny day.

楽しみにしていた天国の海でしたが
あいにくの雨で
肌寒く残念な感じでした。。。が、
スタッフの方はフレンドリーで
濁っているながらも
潜ってみれば魚見え楽しかったです
晴れた日にリベンジしたいと思います

クアロア・ランチ　乗馬体験(2時間)　映画ロケ地にもなった雄大な大自然を馬に乗って満喫！＜送迎付きプランあり＞

Amazing views! 素晴らしい絶景！

Reviewed by: しーさん

The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, open, and incredibly fun. It was a wonderful horseback riding experience that you can't have in Japan!

● Check-in and Preparation ●
Since we were traveling by rental car, we opted for a self-arranged course without transportation, which turned out to be a mistake as we got lost and arrived just in time. We checked in 20 minutes before the start instead of the recommended 45 minutes, and it was quite hectic. However, despite being late, they kindly accepted us, which was a relief. I regret not choosing the plan with transportation.

The check-in location is past the shop (there's a sign in Japanese), and you can check in by simply showing your passport and voucher, with almost no need for English. I went to check in while my companion took care of parking, and there was just a simple question about whether they were wearing proper shoes (not sandals). By the way, my companion didn’t need to show their passport.

We were instructed to leave our bags in a nearby coin locker (for a fee). A waist pouch was okay, but they provided a small bag to attach to the saddle while riding, so I felt we didn’t really need it. We left our bags in the trunk of the rental car.

When we arrived at the stable (which is diagonally across from the check-in location), we watched a 5-minute horseback riding instructional video (in Japanese), borrowed helmets and bags, and then we were off to ride.

On the way out, we mounted the horses using stairs, and on the way back, there were precautions to avoid stepping on feet when dismounting from the elevated area. In the group I joined, there were probably just two groups: a family from Korea and us, along with one guide, so it was quite a small group.

● Attire ●
Long pants and shoes that cover the toes, along with a rented helmet, are the minimum requirements for participation, which I felt was quite casual. Given the rugged mountain paths, it felt adventurous. In Japan, I think you would probably need specialized riding boots or protective vests. This lightness felt very much like being abroad!

However, for those with back or knee issues, it might be tough. Since we passed through areas with tall grass, wearing longer socks to cover the ankles would help avoid any irritation from the grass.

Perhaps because it was spring, the weather was unstable, alternating between sunny and rainy. The strong sunlight combined with light rain made a long-sleeved hoodie just right for both sun and cold protection.

● Scenery ●
The views were stunning. We could see majestic mountains and beautiful seas, which was very satisfying. Even if you’re not particularly interested in movie filming locations, I think you would still enjoy it. As a fan of the Jurassic Park series, I was thrilled to see the locations from the films.

Personally, I love plants, so it was fun to see rare mountain flora. It was interesting to see cacti growing wild.

● Guide ●
Since I don’t understand English well, I could only catch the movie titles and a few words (like right, left, stop), but there were signs and guides at the filming locations, so I was able to enjoy it to some extent. However, since you don’t dismount from the horse until you return, if you want to take close-up photos or be in pictures with the movie sets, I think another tour might be better. By the way, we passed buses and buggies while riding, so you might encounter other tours even if you sign up separately.

Also, the guide was friendly and responded with a smile when I awkwardly spoke to her in broken English about how many days I had been in Hawaii and how beautiful the ocean was. Still, I wish there had been a Japanese brochure available.

● Photography ●
In the initial instructional video, it was stated that video recording is prohibited but photos are allowed. You can take photos with either a smartphone or a camera. During the ride, the guide took individual photos of us with her smartphone, and we received the data f

とにかく絶景で開放的でとても楽しく、日本ではできない乗馬体験で素晴らしかったです！
●チェックインと準備●
　レンタカーでの行動だったため、送迎なしの現地集合解散コースにしましたが、これが失敗で迷ってしまいかなりギリギリについてしまいました。45分前のところ、20分前にチェックイン、10分前に集合とバタバタでした。
　しかし、遅れてしまったものの幸いにも受け入れてくださり、ほっとしました。大人しく送迎ありのプランを申し込めばよかったなと反省しています。
　チェックイン場所は売店を抜けた先にあり(日本語立て看板あり)、パスポートとバウチャーの提示のみでチェックインでき、英語はほぼ不要でした。同行者に駐車を任せ、私のみがチェックインに向かったため、同行者は靴を履いているか(サンダル等ではないか)という簡単な質問があった程度です。ちなみに同行者のパスポート提示は不要でした。
　荷物は近くにあるコインロッカー(有料)に置くように指示されます。ウエストポーチはOKでしたが、馬に乗るとき鞍に取り付ける小物入れを貸してくれるのでいらなかったなと思います。私たちはレンタカーのトランクに荷物を置きました。
　出発場所の馬小屋(チェックインの場所の斜め向かいくらい)に行くと、5分程度の乗馬の説明ビデオ(日本語)を見て、ヘルメットと小物入れの袋借りてさっそく乗馬です。
　行きは柵の奥にいる馬に階段を使って跨がり、帰りも高台の上に降りるので足を踏まれないよう工夫されてるなぁと感じました。
　私が参加した回は、おそらく韓国の家族の方と私たちの２グループで、そこにガイドスタッフさん1名でしたので、かなり少人数でした。
●服装●
　長ズボンと爪先がカバーされている靴、そしてレンタルヘルメットが参加の条件ですが、本当に最低限の軽装だなぁと感じました。結構な山道にこの服装なので冒険感がすごいです。日本だと多分乗馬用安全靴とかプロテクトベストみたいなものを着なきゃダメな気がします。この身軽さが海外～！という感じでした。
　でも腰や膝に持病がある方はしんどいかも。結構草丈がある場所も通るので長めの靴下でくるぶしもカバーした方が草まけの心配がないかと思います。
　春だからなのかわかりませんが、晴れたり雨が降ったりと不安定な天気で、日差しが強い上に小雨にも降られたので、日焼け対策としても寒さ対策としても長袖パーカーでちょうどよかったなと思いました。
●風景●
　素晴らしい絶景でした。雄大な山も美しい海も見られて大満足です。映画のロケ地にそれほど興味がなくても満足できるのではないでしょうか。ジュラシックパークシリーズが好きなので、映画のシーンの場所が見られて感動しました。
　個人的には植物が好きなので珍しい山の植物が見られるのも楽しかったです。サボテンが野生で生えているのが面白かったです。
●ガイド●
　英語がわからないので正直映画のタイトルと単語(右とか左とかストップとか)くらいしか聞き取れませんでしたが、映画のロケ地には看板や案内があるのでそれなりに楽しめました。
　ただ、乗馬コースでは帰ってくるまで馬から降りることはないので、近くでじっくり写真を撮りたかったり、映画のセットと一緒に写りたかったりするなら他のツアーの方がいいと思われます。ちなみに乗馬中にバスやバギーとすれ違ったので別々のツアーに申し込んでも途中で出会うのかもしれません。
　また、ガイドのお姉さんはフレンドリーな方で、ハワイに来て何日目だ海が綺麗だ等カタコトへっぽこ英語で話しかけても笑顔で答えてくださいました。
　でもやっぱり日本語のパンフレットでもあればなぁとは思いました。
●写真撮影●
　最初の説明ビデオで動画撮影は禁止で写真はOKと案内があります。写真ならスマホでもカメラでもいいようです。途中、ガイドスタッフさんが、乗馬の様子をご自身のスマホで一人一人撮影してくださり、終わったあとデータが無料でもらえます。ただ、iPhoneのAirDrop機能を利用してデータ送信してもらったのでAndroidだともらえないかも……。
　印刷された写真は売店前に写真販売コーナーがありそこで自分の写真を勧められます。買わなかったので覚えてないですが多分$15～$20くらいだったような。この辺は日本のテーマパークと同じスタイルだなぁと感じました。
●馬たち●
　よく訓練されていて道も覚えているようでさっさと進んでいきます。こんな軽装で馬に乗って本当に大丈夫かな？と思っていましたが、大人しいしかわいいしそんな不安は途中から忘れていました。
　ちなみに馬は全員男の子だそうで、私が乗った馬はギリアン(と聞こえました)君でした。
　機会があったらぜひまた乗りたいです。

Kualoa Ranch Horseback Riding & Jurassic Valley Movie Sites Tour

My horse was so aggressive

Reviewed by: Tomo

This tour was very exciting.

My sister has done her first time horse riding.
She said the tour guide was so kind and her horse was so gentle and cute.

Mine was so aggressive and also was not good match with the guide horse.
I had to worried about my horse and the guide horse were not very close.
One time, my horse kicked the guide horse. It was sorry and a bit scary.

But the tour was so fun. My sister and me had a great time.

Next time, I want to try again but also try to run a bit with horse.
Because, my horse walked so fast. I think he wanted to run a bit.
One day, you guys would make the tour for the horse riding tour for experienced people.
If you guys would have that tour already, I would like to try next time.
