In Japan, it seems that you can't really go horseback riding without a license, so I wanted to challenge myself in Hawaii and participated. I enjoyed canyon horseback riding at a place called Happy Trails. There are explanations in Japanese, and the instructor teaches you how to handle the horses in broken Japanese, so there's no need to worry about handling the horses. The horses are trained for polo and were surprisingly calm, which was very soothing.
When you think of Hawaii, the image of beaches is strong, but I enjoyed a different side of Hawaii's scenery.
As a note, the red dirt can get quite messy, so it's better to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
After horseback riding, we stopped by a beach with sea turtles, but overall, the schedule moved quickly, and the day ended in no time.
日本ではライセンスを取らないとなかなか乗馬はできないようなのでハワイでチャレンジしたいと思い参加しました。
Happy Trailsというところで渓谷乗馬を楽しんできました。
日本語の説明書きが書いてあるし、インストラクターの方がカタコトの日本語で馬の扱い方を教えてくれるので、馬の扱い方は心配ないです。馬もポロ用に訓練された馬で驚くほどおとなしく癒されました。
ハワイというとビーチのイメージが強いですが、また違うハワイの景色を堪能しました。
注意事項ですが、結構赤土で足元が汚れることがあるので汚れてもいい恰好で行ったほうがいいですね。
今回は乗馬の後海亀のいるビーチに寄りましたが全体的に乗馬以外は駆け足でスケジュールが進みあっという間に一日が終わってしまいました。

Since there is no shuttle service for the tour, I rented a Harley with a rental bike the day before and set off from the local area. In a country where helmets are not required, I enjoyed the freedom with a bandana and sunglasses while heading to the ranch. I wish this could be included in the tour as well!
This morning, it was just the four of us in a private session, and most of the preparations for horseback riding were already done. The horses, saddled and ready, lined up to greet us. The staff, consisting of friendly cowboys and cowgirls, assisted us, and since they could speak a little Japanese, the process was smooth.
The horse assigned to me was named Cowboy, and all the horses were well-trained and adorable. The horseback riding was quite hands-off, so beginners might feel a bit confused without an experienced rider accompanying them. It's common knowledge that the handling of reins is the opposite of Japan, so if you understand that, you can ride fairly freely, which made it a lot of fun for us.
We rode for 90 minutes, climbing steep, unmarked slopes and traversing a varied ranch landscape. It was very satisfying. However, I wished we could have been taken to a spot with a better ocean view at the top of the mountain, which is the only reason I’m giving it four stars.
I plan to choose this place for horseback riding again next time, but I think I will negotiate before riding. It was a lot of fun.
送迎の無いツアーなので、前日よりレンタルバイクでハーレーを借り現地出発
ヘルメットの要らない国なので、バンダナサングラスで開放感満喫しながら牧場目指して
ドドドドド! (これもツアーに含めてくれればと思います)
今日の午前中は自分達4人だけの貸切状態で、乗馬の支度は殆どおわっており
鞍スタンバイの馬たちが、並んでお出迎え
スタッフも笑顔が素敵なカーボウイとカウガールが対応してくれて、日本語も片言で喋れる人達なので手続きもスムーズでした。
自分のあてがわれた馬は名前はカウボーイ、どの馬もよく教育されていて可愛かった
乗馬はかなり放任型で、初心者は経験者同伴じゃないと少し戸惑うかも
日本と手綱の扱いが逆なのも海外乗馬は常識なので、分かっていれば逆に
ある程度は自由に乗せてくれるので、自分達は凄く楽しかったです。
道無き急斜面を上ったり、起伏に富んだ牧場を90分かけての乗馬
のりごたえ満点です。
ただ、山の上でもう少しオーシャンビューなところに案内してもらいたかったかな
と、そこだけが残念で星4つです。

楽しかったです。

It was my first experience, and the weather was perfect, making it a wonderful time.
It takes over an hour from Waikiki, and there was also a wait time of more than an hour before the experience, so I think it's best to allow for plenty of time.
Additionally, you could request photo and video shooting for an extra fee of about 20,000 yen.
The photos were screenshots from part of the video, but they selected some really great moments.
Since tips are necessary, I think it's better to bring dollars.
Also, it's advisable to bring pants, athletic shoes, and hair ties for those with long hair.
初めての体験でしたが、天候に恵まれ最高の時間でした。
ワイキキからは1時間以上かかる場所で、体験までの待ち時間も1時間以上あったので、時間に余裕を持っていた方が良いと思います。
また、写真やビデオ撮影も追加料金2万円位で依頼出来ました。
写真はビデオの一部をスクリーンショットしたものでしたが、とても良い場面を選んでもらえました。
チップが必要なので、ドルを持って行った方が良いと思います。
また、ズボンと運動靴と髪の長い人はヘアゴム等を持っていくようにした方が良いです。

This was my second skydiving experience, following last year's in Guam! It was a great deal since it came with a free Wi-Fi router! I thought if I was going to do it, I might as well choose a high altitude, so I opted for 4200 meters. The instructor didn't understand Japanese, but they really pumped up the energy, and I had a lot of fun skydiving! Initially, I only planned to take photos, but since the photographer wasn't very skilled, we ended up with a video instead. The photos of my companion turned out really beautiful, which made my photos feel quite disappointing.

We went with my husband and one of his friends. I wonder if the driving in Hawaii is rough... I felt really nauseous during both the trip there and back, so it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication in advance. I had read in reviews that women’s groups were prioritized for guidance, and I think that was the case. We intended to buy photos and videos, and they showed us both to choose from. It was a bit pricey at $460 for both, but we decided to purchase them. We had to wait a long time for the return bus, but it was a good experience overall.
私達夫婦と、旦那さんのお友達の3人で行きました。ハワイの人の運転は荒いのか…行きと帰りの車がすごく酔って気持ち悪かったので、酔い止めを前もって飲んでおくと良いかもしれません。レビューで見ていましたがやはり女性グループが優先的に案内されていたと思います。写真と動画を買うつもりで撮ってもらいましたが、両方とも写りを見せてくれて選べました。両方で460ドルと割高でしたが購入しました。帰りのバスがなかなか来なくて待たされましたが良い経験が出来て良かったです。

We participated as a family of five. We visited the Dole Plantation, had lunch with Huli Huli chicken in Haleiwa, and then went to Turtle Bay, where everyone had their first horseback riding experience. At first, we were anxious, but the horses were very well trained, and we enjoyed riding between the beautiful beach and the forest. Our guide was an experienced Japanese person, and we had a great time. I think this is a tour I would recommend to everyone.

I was satisfied to have shrimp for lunch! There were a lot of flies, but it was a perfect tour for those who want to enjoy horseback riding! The riding time was long, and I felt a sense of accomplishment from riding more than on other tours. (I had horseback riding experience on a different tour before.) I chose the canyon option, and it was good to be in the mountains rather than by the sea since it was hot even in October. I had a fulfilling day.

I highly recommend the two-hour course!
My wife, who loves horses, wanted to try horseback riding for the first time, so I joined her. We decided to go for the two-hour course together. We drove to the location in a rental car. It was my first time driving a left-hand drive car and in Hawaii, but the roads were wide, and we had no problems getting there. An iPhone was sufficient for navigation (though I used the Japanese navigation option, Never Lost, and got lost right away).
We arrived at Kualoa Ranch about an hour before our reservation, so we decided to have lunch first. Other tourists were there from all over the world, and we enjoyed friendly conversations while eating. I had seen reviews saying the BBQ wasn't good, but the garlic shrimp was delicious.
After that, we showed our voucher at the reception. Since we had some time, we were told to wait by the stables. There, we met the other participants. In our group, besides us, there were three American women and a newlywed couple from Korea, making a total of seven. The friendly instructor asked, "Does everyone understand English?" and since we replied, "No problem!" we didn't have to watch the Japanese DVD mentioned in other reviews. Instead, we received instructions directly from the instructor while mounted on the horses. Later, I realized the newlywed couple didn't understand much English and seemed to struggle with horse handling. If you're not very confident in English, it might be reassuring to watch the Japanese DVD.
After a brief explanation, we were off! I relaxed on a gentle horse, and as we passed through the mountain trails, we entered the vast world of Jurassic Park! The ocean spread out on our right, and if we were lucky, we might see a whale spouting. We also experienced some fun accidents, like being completely blocked by a herd of cows.
This activity mainly involves following the instructor at a slow pace, but my wife seemed to have a good connection with her horse. The instructor said, "You're doing great, so you can be the leader this time. You can make the horse walk a bit faster, but if you get too far from the group, wait for us." This allowed us to enjoy the ride quite freely (we were lucky!).
On the way back, we were even shown a path used in the latest "Jurassic World" movie, which was very satisfying! Our excitement was through the roof after watching the movie before participating. There are also other filming locations from "Jurassic World," so that's something to look forward to during your visit.
In this unique scenery, the two-hour course flew by. It may vary for different people, but I recommend the two-hour course. My backside was a little sore the next day, but that too is a good memory.
2時間コースをお勧め!
馬が大好きな妻の希望で、乗馬初体験の私も参加。思い切って2時間コースに二人で参加してみました。現地まではレンタカーで移動。左ハンドルもハワイでの運転も初めてですが、道も広く問題なく移動できました。ナビはiPhoneで充分です。(オプションでつけた日本語ナビのネバー・ロストを使ってましたがすぐに迷いました。)
クアロア牧場には受付の1時間ぐらい前には到着したので、先にランチを取ることに。ほかの観光客の方も世界各地から来ていらして、結構フレンドリーに話しながら食事も楽しめました。BBQは美味しくなかったという書き込みを見ましたが、ガーリックシュリンプ、美味しかったですよ。
その後バウチャーを見せて受付。まだ時間があるので厩舎の横で待機するように言われました。そこで参加者の方々と対面。私たちの回は私たちの他にはアメリカ人の女性3人と韓国人の新婚さんカップル2名、そして私たちの計7名ででした。気さくなインストラクターの方から「みんな英語わかる?」と聞かれて「大丈夫!」と答えたので他の方のレビューにある日本語でのDVDを見ることもなく、直接インストラクターが馬にまたがりながら説明を受けました。あとで分かったのですが、新婚さんカップルはあまり英語が分かっていなかったようで、あとで馬の操作に手こずっていたようです。英語にあまり自信のない方は折角なので日本語のDVDを見せてもらったほうが安心です。
簡単な説明も終わり、いよいよ出発です!おとなしい馬に身体を預け、山道を抜けるとそこは広大なジュラシックパークの世界!右側には海も広がり運がよければクジラの潮吹きも見えるみたいです。途中は牛の群れに完全に道をふさがれたりと、楽しいアクシデントも体験しました。
このアクティビティは基本的にインストラクターに従ってゆっくり歩くのですが、妻は馬と相性がよかったようで、「上手だから今回のリーダーになって。少し馬を早く歩かせてもいいから、隊列から離れすぎたら待っててね。」と言ってもらえ、結構自由に楽しめました。(ラッキーでした!)
帰り道ではなんと最新作の「ジュラシック・ワールド」のロケで使われた小道も紹介してもらい大満足!映画を見てからの参加でもテンションも上がりまくりでした。それ以外にも「ジュラシック・ワールド」で撮影に使われているところがありますので、それは参加されてのお楽しみ。
ここでしか体験できない景色の中で、あっという間に過ぎた2時間コースでした。
人にもよると思うのですが、私は2時間のコースをお勧めします。翌日お尻は少し痛くなりますが、それも良い思い出です。

This tour allows you to leisurely ride horses while enjoying the filming locations of various movies and dramas, such as Godzilla, Jurassic Park, and Hawaii Five-O. Since we love movies and foreign dramas, we were super excited to say, "We saw this in Five-O!" The valley where the filming took place offered a great view, and the breeze was refreshing, making it a very relaxing experience. Later, when the staff took our photos against a backdrop that appeared in Jurassic World, we felt a second wave of joy like we were in the theater again. However, the time spent walking at the base of the filming location was shorter than expected, so I wished we had a bit more time to explore the sites, which is why I deducted one star.

For our three-generation trip, we chose the Pineapple Train.
We arrived 15 minutes late from the scheduled meeting time. Furthermore, there was a misunderstanding regarding the number of people, resulting in not having enough tickets for the Pineapple Train, which led to the need to go to the office to pick them up.
Next, we headed to the pickup location for my brother's family, but despite being past the meeting time, they were not at the designated spot. The driver kindly searched all over and even checked places that are often mistaken. Since we couldn't get in touch, they ended up driving to the hotel where we were staying. Embarrassingly, we were still at the hotel, and it was just a simple case of being late, but we ended up departing 30 minutes behind schedule. I truly apologize for that.
Despite the various troubles, the driver kept the atmosphere lively in the car, which I was really grateful for.
The Pineapple Train was peaceful and provided a relaxing time for adults. However, when I went to the restroom on the Pineapple Train, I lost track of time and couldn't go shopping. I also couldn't use the 15% off ticket that you receive when booking through VELTRA.
During the sea turtle watching at Alii Beach, they took us early considering the time the turtles would be on the beach, allowing us to see the turtles and take photos.
While exploring Haleiwa Town with kids, we spent most of our time at Matsumoto's Shave Ice and lunch, so there was no time to go to Giovanni's. We did have a little time for shopping, like buying an aloha shirt from Kahala.
In the car, the driver shared a lot about the sightseeing spots, making it a meaningful time. We were able to return to Waikiki by 3 PM.

Mike was very knowledgable of the local geological history and botanical environment. We even got to see a dart frog which my local friends from Hawaii were amazed that we got to experience that. And the bike ride was a great finish to the day. The hike was definitely muddy but worth slogging through the bamboo to get to the waterfall.

We participated as a couple with our sixth-grade son. First, we went to Moalua Garden, then to a coffee shop, and finally to Dole Plantation. We spent 30 minutes at Dole, which was enough time to eat soft serve ice cream and look at souvenirs. Next, we headed to a beach with turtles. There were only two swimming in the water, and they didn't come ashore.
We had a 60-minute meal time in Haleiwa Town. I had previously communicated my desire for Huli Huli chicken and garlic shrimp, and the guide took us to a restaurant, but it was disappointing that it wasn't Marukey's. I regretted not asking to go to Marukey's. Since it was before 11 a.m., we were able to buy the Huli Huli chicken quickly. The taste was just average.
For horseback riding, we walked in a line along a mountain path, but the scenery became monotonous halfway through, making the 90 minutes feel long. I was very disappointed that the photos taken by the local guide with my camera didn't turn out well. The horseback riding itself was fine for elementary school students, but I think the coastal course would have had better views.
The guide explained various things about Hawaii on the bus. While the information about history and current life was helpful, I honestly found the discussions about celebrities' private lives unnecessary and uninteresting.
夫婦と小学6年生の息子で参加しました。
最初にモアルナガーデン、次にコーヒー屋さん、ドールプランテーションへ。
ドールは30分の滞在、ソフトクリームを食べてお土産を見るのには十分でした。
次に亀のいる浜辺へ。海の中に2匹泳いでいるだけで上陸はしていませんでした。
ハレイワタウンで60分の食事時間。あらかじめ、フリフリチキンとガーリックシュリンプの希望を伝えるとガイドさんがお店に連れて行ってくれますが、マーキーズではないお店だったのが残念でした。マーキーズに行きたいと言えばよかったとちょっと後悔。フリフリチキンは時間が11時前だったせいかすぐに買えました。味はまあ普通です。
乗馬は、山道をずーっと隊列になって歩いて行きますが途中から景色が単調で90分が長く感じられました。現地のガイドさんに頼んだカメラの写真がうまく撮れていなくて非常に残念。
乗馬自体は小学生でも大丈夫でしたが、海辺のコースの方が眺めが良くてよかったかなと思いました。
ガイドさんがバスの中で色々とハワイの事を説明してくれます。歴史や現在の生活については為になりましたが、芸能人の私生活の話はプライベートなことですし興味がないので正直余計な話だと思いました。

We did the hike/bike/sail/snorkel and had one of the best days of our entire time on the island! Our guide was EXTREMELY knowledgeable and loved our entire tour!

I signed up for 14,000 feet. We left Waikiki just after 5:30 AM, signed the waiver on the bus, and arrived at the location before 6:00 AM. We were blessed with clear skies that day, so as soon as we arrived, we had a brief video explanation and then got ready. They asked if we wanted to take photos and videos; I was hesitant about the video, but they said if I didn't like it later, it was fine to just go with photos, so I decided to go ahead with it. (I figured it would be hard to say I didn't want either after trying.)
After a light briefing from the instructor, we waited for about an hour until it was our turn. As soon as the previous group’s plane returned, we boarded and took off right away. There were about six groups on board, I think. Most people were asking for photos. Those who requested them flew together with the instructor and the cameraman.
It took about 15 minutes to reach 14,000 feet. I thought, "Wow, I'm really high up," but the instructor teased me, saying, "It's okay! You're still in the hangar!" as we continued to gain altitude. When we reached 14,000 feet, the plane door opened. They said, "Alright, it's time to jump!" and before I could even resist, I was standing at the door, and with a countdown of 3, 2, 1, we jumped! Actually, the instructor jumped for us. There was no time for fear.
After a couple of spins in the air, we were in free fall for about a minute! We dropped at such a speed that there was no time to feel scared! I desperately tried to look at the cameraman, but I could hardly breathe. After that, the parachute opened, and I finally got to enjoy the breathtaking view of the North Shore coastline! However, as we gradually descended with the parachute, it was genuinely terrifying... I thought I might faint at one point. Laughing.
While enjoying the stunning views until the end, I experienced a level of descent fear that was incomparable to Fuji-Q Highland, and we landed on the ground. By the time we landed, I was completely dizzy and exhausted.
After landing, I checked the photos and videos. I thought both were too expensive, but I was so excited about the incredible experience that I ended up purchasing both. Laughing. Well, if I didn't buy one, it would only remain in my memory. I think I should have at least bought the photos.
So, my first skydiving experience was truly amazing. I'm already thinking about doing it again on my next trip to Hawaii!!!
14000フィートで申し込みました。
朝の5時半過ぎにワイキキを出発し、バスの中で誓約書にサインなどして、6時前に現地到着。
当日は雲ひとつない快晴に恵まれたため、到着してすぐにビデオによる簡単な説明→準備に入りました。
ここで写真と動画撮影をするか聞かれ、動画は迷っていたものの、後から動画を見てみて気に入らなければ写真だけでもOKとの事でとりあえずお願いしました。(多分、撮ってみたけどどちらも要らないは無理かと。)
インストラクターからの指導も軽く受け、待つこと1時間、自分たちの順番が回ってきました。
前の組の飛行機が戻ってきたらすぐに乗り込み、すぐ離陸。同乗は6組ぐらいだったかな?
ほとんどの人達が写真をお願いしていたと思います。頼んだ人はインストラクターとカメラマンの3人で一緒に飛びます。
14000フィートまで約15分。途中で恐ろしく高いとこにいるなと思ったものの、『ダイジョーブ!まだハンブーン!笑』とインストラクターにからかわれつつ、どんどん高度を上げます。
そして14000フィートに到達した時に、飛行機の扉が開かれました。さぁ飛ぶよ!と言われ抵抗する暇など一切なく、扉の前に立たされ、3,2,1で一気に飛びました!というかインストラクターが勝手に飛びます。恐怖もクソもありません。
空中で2,3回転したあとフリーフォール状態が1分ぐらい続きます!恐怖を感じるヒマもない程のスピードで落ちて行きました!必死でカメラマンに視線を向けるものの何だかうまく息も出来ない。笑
その後パラシュートが開き、ようやくノースショアの海岸線を望む絶景を楽しむ事が出来ました!ただ、パラシュートで徐々に高度を下げて行くときは本当に怖かった。。途中気絶するんじゃないかってほど。。。笑
最後まで絶景を楽しみつつ、富士○ハイランドの比じゃないほとの下降の恐怖を繰り返しつつ、地上に降り立ちました。
降りた時にはもうフラフラで骨抜き状態。
降りて写真とビデオをチェック。両方は高すぎるなと思ってたものの、とんでもない体験に胸高まっていたのかどちらも購入してしまいました。笑
まぁでもどちらか買わないと頭の中にしか残らないですからね。写真だけでも購入すべきかと。
そんな訳で、人生初のスカイダイビングはもう本当に最高でした。もう既に次回のハワイでもやりたいと思ってます!!!

Come do this activity after you've been partaking a little too much on the first days of your vacation! Earlier is better due to the heat. Superb views of nearly a third of the island!

I experienced it for the first time.
Tomorrow is skydiving...
I was excited from the day before.
When I went to sleep...
I woke up just 10 minutes before the meeting time!!
I was so looking forward to skydiving that I overslept.
There were many Japanese people at the site, but also people from various countries.
The instructors and locals casually talked to us.
Everyone helped ease the tension.
Finally, it was time for the flight—time for skydiving.
It was a brief experience, but it was so much fun.
We were blessed with good weather, and it became a memorable skydiving experience for a lifetime.
初めて体験しました。
明日は、スカイダイビングだ…。
と思い、前日からワクワクワク。
と思い、眠ると…
なんと、集合時間10分前に起床!!
寝坊してしまう程、楽しみにしていたスカイダイビング。
現地には日本人も多いですが、多国籍の人人人。
気楽に話を掛けてくるインストラクターの方、現地の方。
みんなが緊張を和らいでくれました。
いざフライトー、いざスカイダイビングー。
あっという間の時間でしたが、とても楽しかったです。
天気にも恵まれ、気持ち良く、一生の思い出となったスカイダイビングでした。

It was my first experience.
At first, I thought, "This is scary," and "Will I be okay?" but the instructor was very kind and funny, which helped me overcome my fear.
Then it was time for the flight.
Until I jumped out, I was a little scared, but once I was flying...
In front of me was the entire island of Oahu.
It was so beautiful, and the skydiving experience went by in an instant.
Is it a once-in-a-lifetime experience? Maybe.
No...
I thought I wanted to experience it again.
初めての体験でした。
初めは「怖い。」、「大丈夫かな。」と思っていましたが、インストラクターの方がとても優しく、また面白い方で恐怖心を無くしてくれました。
いざフライトへ。
飛び出すまでは、少し怖かったですが、いざ飛んでみると…
目の前は、一面オアフ島。
とても綺麗であっという間のスカイダイビングでした。
人生に一度の体験!?かな。
いや…
もう1度体験したいと思いました。
