My wife & I were first timers visiting during a conference. We located this tour on-line and took a gamble sight unseen. This was one of the best parts of our vacation. Our guide, Chris, was very personable and provided tons of information about the North Shore and the agriculture. He took several pictures for us and was very accommodating. Five stars for Chris. We would recommend this for anyone. The scenery is breathtaking. We recommend the sunset ride and request Chris for your guide!

I experienced horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch twice before, but this time I wanted to see a different view, so I tried the sunset horseback riding at this ranch. It was a small, privately-owned place, which made it easy to talk to the staff. The female guide spoke only English, but she was very kind, and the horses were well-trained, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. There were also privately owned horses at the ranch, and one of the horses we encountered while riding was quite mischievous and fell right in front of us, leaving us in shock. Our guide, who also had a nursing qualification, provided emergency assistance and called an ambulance, while we waited anxiously. I realized that dealing with wild animals comes with such risks.
According to our guide, if the horse's personality doesn't match the rider's skill level, accidents can happen more easily. However, the horses at this ranch were well-behaved and properly trained, so we were able to enjoy the ride without worry until the end. We took in the magnificent scenery and sunset, treating the incident as a lesson, and it turned out to be a fun hour and a half of horseback riding.
乗馬はクアロア牧場で2度程体験しましたが、別の景色を見たいと今回こちらの牧場のサンセット乗馬を体験しました。
個人経営でこじんまりしていたので、話やすかったです。ガイドしてくれた女性は英語しかできませんが、とても優しく、馬もよく慣れていて安心して楽しめました。そこの牧場には個人所有の馬もおり、私たちが乗馬中に出会った馬がやんちゃで、目の前で落馬してしまい、唖然としました。私たちのガイドさんは看護師の資格ももっているとのことで、緊急対応し、救急車を呼んだのですが、その間私たちは緊張の面持ちで待機していました。自然の動物を相手にするのはこういったリスクも伴うものだというのを痛感しました。
ガイドさん曰く、馬の性格と乗り手の技量があっていないと、事故も起きやすいとのこと。しかしここの牧場の馬は、性格もよく、きちんと調教されているとのことで、最後まで安心して楽しめました。雄大な景色とサンセットを見て、アクシデントのことは教訓とし、楽しい1時間半の乗馬でした。

I participated in the English tour with a bit of excitement. There were two Japanese women and about eight people from English-speaking countries, and despite my limited English, we were able to communicate and enjoy trekking together.
We climbed through a bamboo-like area near Manoa, but since Manoa has one of the highest rainfall levels in Oahu, the ground is often muddy, and we crossed a small stream along the way, so I definitely recommend borrowing rubber boots. This tour is almost 100% in English, so it's great for those who really love trekking and find Diamond Head too easy! However, for those who are anxious about their English skills, it might take a bit of courage to join.
Also, I noticed that arriving about 30 minutes late is something typical for English tours. If you don't have that kind of flexibility, you might find it frustrating at first.
英語ツアーということで、少しドキドキしながら参加しましたが、日本人の女性の方が2人と、あとは英語圏の方8人くらいで、英語ができないなりにもコミュニケーションをとりつつ楽しくトレッキングできました。
マノア近くの竹林的なところを黙々と登っていくのですが、マノア周辺はオアフの中でも降水量が多いところなので、地面はぬかるんでいるところが多く、途中小川も渡ったりするので、長靴は絶対借りたほうがいいと思います。ほぼ100%英語のツアーなので、本当にトレッキングが好きで、ダイヤモンドヘッドでは物足りない!!という方にはお勧めですが、英語の不安のある方はちょっと参加するのに勇気がいるような気がします。
あと、集合時間に30分くらい遅れてくるのも、英語ツアーならではなのかなぁと思いました。それくらい寛大さがないと、最初イライラするかもしれませんね

I wish there had been a more specific statement regarding the hike that you may get very muddy! They did have rain boots but you needed to have high socks so you wouldn't get blisters.
I didn't have the socks so ended up wearing my tennis shoes - there was no avoiding the mud - I had mud up to my knees - mainly from splashing - mud wasn't that deep.
There were lovely flowers and going in the midst of a banboo forest was amazing. We did see a poisonous tree frog - beautiful bright green and black.
The bike ride was a breeze literally and the half way stopping point has an amazing view of Honolulu!
The catamaran was a lot of fun - they knew exactly where the turtles come to get cleaned up by the fish - we saw 3 different sized turtles.

On the left side, just past the Polynesian Cultural Center, there is a sprawling ranch. It feels more like Arizona than Hawaii, with mostly white people around. There happened to be families with small children gathered there since school was out, but most were just doing short horseback riding experiences. We set off under the guidance of Amanda, who moved here from New York about a year and a half ago. The exhilaration of galloping through the hills and forests is something hard to experience in Japan. I quit the Crane Riding Club out of frustration and have been riding at the Aso Dream Land Club for about three years, but that place has a lot of hills. Here, the flat terrain makes for the best galloping. Our 30-minute private lunch included a gigantic sandwich, juice, water, a mountain of fruit, and a box of macadamia chocolates, which was way too much to finish. I took the chocolates as a souvenir. I was a bit worried about not speaking English. If you're a beginner, they won't let you ride on a course that includes galloping. It's self-reported, but you'll need to sign a waiver, so you're responsible in case of an accident.
ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターを過ぎてまもなくの左側に牧場の敷地が広がっている。白人ばかりで、ハワイというよりアリゾナあたりの感じ。たまたま学校が休みで小さな子供連れの家族が群れていたが、ほとんどは短い体験乗馬。NYから1.5年前にやってきたAmandaの案内でいざ出発。丘陵を林を思いっきり駆け抜ける爽快さは日本では味わいにくい。クレイン乗馬クラブを欲求不満でやめ、阿蘇夢大地のクラブで3年ほど乗っているが、あそこは坂が多い。当地は敷地が平坦ゆえ駈足が最高。30分の僕らだけのランチには、特大のサンドイッチ、ジュース、水、山盛りフルーツ、マカデミアチョコ1箱がついていて、到底食べきれない。チョコはおみやげにもらいました。英語ができないとちょっと心配。乗馬未経験者なら駈足なしのコースじゃないと受けてくれません。自己申告だけど免責書類にサインしますから、事故があっても自己責任ね。

I've always wanted to experience this at least once! Even though I'm over 50 years old... This time, the opportunity came, and I took on the challenge. I'm truly overwhelmed with emotion!
Here's my experience. First, when I arrived at the center, I had to sign multiple "waivers." The content stated, "There will be no compensation for any accidents." In short, it's all on you, no matter what happens. It took some courage to sign this.
Finally, it was my turn to board the Cessna. The experienced instructor helped ease my nerves. The Cessna took off and climbed higher and higher. We were truly above the clouds.
Once we reached the altitude for the drop, the atmosphere in the cabin became tense. I tightened my harness and waited for "that moment." The cabin door opened, and it was finally time to drop!!!
When it was my turn, looking down, I saw the clouds below... Here we go! Falling!!! It's an experience that words can't express. Without a doubt, I was flying through the air.
As the large parachute opened, the speed dropped suddenly, allowing me to take in the view below. The endless blue sea spread out beneath me. It was also breathtaking!
When I safely returned, I felt a great sense of accomplishment. For those who are hesitant, I highly recommend it!
Lastly, I recommend getting the photos and DVD. They are a bit pricey, but they are definitely worth it. When you sign up at the center, each person gets their own dedicated cameraman.
That's my experience!
前から、一度は!経験したいと思っていました。年も50才を過ぎているのですが。。。
そのチャンスが今回来て、初挑戦しました。もう感激の一言です!
私の体験記です。
?まず、センターに着くと、「誓約書」に何枚もサインします。「いかなる事故も一切損害賠償はありません。」と言った内容です。 要は何があっても自己責任です。これにサインするのも根性が必要でした。
?いよいよ順番が回って来てセスナに乗り込みます。でも慣れているインストラクターが緊張を解してくれました。セスナは離陸し、どんどん高度を上げます。本当に雲の上でした。
?落下する高度に達すると機内が一気に緊張感に包まれます。命綱をしっかり締めて ”その時”を待ちます。
機内のスライドが明きいよいよ落下です!!!
?ついに私の番になり、下を見ると雲の上です。。いざ!
落下!!!
もう言葉に表せない経験です。間違いなく生身で空を飛んでいます。
?途中、大きなパラシュートが開くと、一気にスピードが落ちる代わりに、眼下の景色を見る余裕が生まれます。
果てしなく青い海が眼下に広がります。これも感動!です。
無事に生還!?した時には大きな達成感もあります。
迷っている方!是非ともお薦めですよ。
最後に、写真とDVDはお薦めです。少し金額は高いのですがその価値は十分あります。センターで申し込むと一人一人に専用のカメラマンが付いてくれます。
以上が私の体験記です。

I had the opportunity to experience skydiving with my wife during our trip to Hawaii, which is something we wouldn't normally do. After about an hour's bus ride from our hotel in Waikiki, we arrived at the center next to the airport.
We were shown a video with poorly spoken Japanese and had to sign a waiver. The waiver was even harder to understand than the video. I understand it was a direct translation, but it was stressful to read and made me a bit anxious.
There was a weight requirement, and since I had been indulging a lot in the past few days, I went to the reception to get weighed. However, none of the staff spoke Japanese. I was surprised that they couldn't understand me, so I had to explain in broken English and was taken to the scale. The scale displayed pounds, which I had never seen before. I was then charged an additional $20 to accommodate my weight, which made me resolve to lose some weight.
After waiting for an hour, I was finally called, fitted with the gear, and received a brief training before boarding the plane. The foreign instructor looked intimidating but kept repeating "exciting" in Japanese, which helped ease the tension.
Before I knew it, we reached an altitude of 14,000 feet. Everyone jumped out one after another, and before I could gather my courage, I was in the air! The wind was intense, but it felt like I was floating rather than falling. Since the ground wasn't getting closer, I couldn't really tell what was happening.
We fell for quite a while before the parachute opened. It felt like it happened so quickly that I finally had time to look around and take in the view. The gear was a bit uncomfortable, but I felt exhilarated. I appreciated the instructor's enthusiasm as he swung us around until we landed.
It was quite a hot day, but it gets pretty cold during the dive, so I recommend wearing long sleeves. It was even chilly during the fall. Finally, I dropped a $20 tip into the box before heading back to Honolulu.
In the end, I spent a decent amount of money, but I think it was much cheaper than doing it in Japan. If you're going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend giving it a try!
スカイダイビングを体験するというか、しようと思う機会はなかなかないので、ハワイ旅行をきっかけに妻と二人で体験してみました。
ワイキキのホテルよりバスで約1時間で、空港隣のセンターに到着。
お世辞にも上手いとは言えない日本語もどきのビデオを見せられ、誓約書にサイン。誓約書はビデオ以上に解読不能。直訳なので仕方ないとは思いますが、読みながらストレスがたまり、ちょっと不安に。
体重の記載があったが、ここ数日の暴飲暴食が気になっていたので、計測しようと受付に行き、日本語で話しかける。
スタッフは誰一人、日本語話せない。えっ?日本語通じないのか?仕方ないので片言の英語で説明し、体重計に連れて行かれる。体重計はポンド表示らしく、見たことない値に。
さらにふくよかな体重を支えるために20$の追加料金を請求される。このとき減量を決意。
そこから待つこと1時間。やっとこ呼ばれて器具を付けられ2~3の講習を受けたのちに飛行機に搭乗。外人インストラクターは見かけは怖いが「ドキドキ」と唯一知っている日本語を連呼して和ませてくれる。
あっと言う間に高度14,000フィートに到着。
あれよあれよと皆が飛び立っていく。覚悟を決めるまもなく私も空中に!
風はとにかくすごいが、落ちているの?という感じ。とにかく地上が近づいてこないため、自分がどうなっているのか良く分らない。
結構長い時間落下し、パラシュートが開く。
飛び立ってからあっという間だったためか、やっと落ち着いて周りを見れるように。
器具が股に挟まってやや痛いが気分は爽快。地上に降り立つまでスイングしてくれたりとサービス精神旺盛のインストラクターに感謝です。
この日は結構暑い日だったんですが、ダイビング中は結構冷えるため、長袖がお勧め。特に落下中は寒いくらいでした。
最後にチップ箱に$20を投函してホノルルへ。
何だかんだでそこそこお金は払いましたが、日本でやるよりはだいぶ安いと思います。ハワイ行くなら是非挑戦を!

I went tandem skydiving for the first time this time. After some hesitation, I decided to challenge myself from 14,000 feet!
The divers, photographers, and all the staff were cheerful and funny! After a brief lecture, we set off immediately. Before I could even feel scared (in about 15 minutes), we arrived at the drop zone and dove into the beautiful sky of the North Shore without any time to hesitate!!
I experienced a view and excitement like I had never seen before all at once☆ It really gets your adrenaline pumping!
If you are prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must. (It shakes a lot during the parachute descent.)

It truly became the best memory!
I thought I should try skydiving at least once in my life, and it really turned out to be an unforgettable experience. As many experienced jumpers say, I never felt that floating sensation like on a roller coaster; until the parachute opened, I was just lying flat in strong winds (but the view was absolutely amazing, unlike anything in my daily life!). Once the parachute opened, even though I was at a considerable altitude, I felt no resistance at all—it was truly a walk in the sky!
This first dive was so wonderful that it made me want to go skydiving again somewhere.
By the way, since I signed up with three friends, we went without a shuttle and drove there with a rental car. Rental cars in Hawaii are very affordable, so if you're comfortable with left-hand driving, it might be better to go on your own to save time.
本当に最高の思い出となりました!
人生一度は、、と思い今回念願のスカイダイビングとなりましたが本当に忘れられない思い出となりました。
経験者はみなさんおっしゃってますが、所謂ジェットコースターのようなふわっと感は一度も感じることなく、パラシュートが開くまではただ強風の上で大の字になっているだけ(でも景色は自分の日常生活から考えられない素晴らしさ!)、パラシュートが開いてからはかなりの高度があるものの何の抵抗も感じることが無く、まさに空中散歩!
絶対にまたスカイダイビングをどこかでやろうと思わせてくれた素敵な1st diveとなりました。
ちなみに友人3名との申込みだった為送迎無しで申込み、レンタカーで行きました。
ハワイはレンタカーが非常に安いので左ハンドル問題無い方はご自身で行かれた方が時間の無駄はないかもしれません。

I have always wanted to go horseback riding in Hawaii, so I signed up for this canyon horseback riding course. As someone who has been attending a riding club, just walking at a normal pace wasn't enough for me, and I dozed off a bit along the way, but it was wonderful to view the mysterious forest and the beautiful ocean from the horse's back. The horse was calm and well-behaved. The stray cat and stray chicken that were friendly were also cute.
The restroom at the riding club is just one temporary toilet outside, so I strongly recommend using the nice restrooms at Dole Plantation beforehand. The Dole pineapple soft serve and cookies were delicious.
There is no rental for helmets and gloves, which are usually provided for horseback riding. It’s a good idea to bring a hat, long sleeves, long pants, and gloves that you don’t mind getting dirty to protect against sunburn and scratches.
I’m not a fan of shrimp, but the lunch I went to had no options other than shrimp (there was a fruit salad on the menu, but it wasn’t actually available), so I wished I could have eaten at a cool, clean restaurant with a restroom that accepted credit cards and offered something other than shrimp lunch. It seems to be a famous place, and the guide kindly offered me some pineapple as a side.
We had a packed schedule with visits to the "Tree of Life," Dole, sea turtles, and Haleiwa Town, and they accommodated us in various ways. As a result, we ended up leaving later than planned, but the guide was chatty and kind.
昔からハワイで乗馬がしたかったので、こちらの渓谷乗馬コースを申し込みました。乗馬クラブに通ってた私には、普通の並み足で歩くだけでは物足りなくて、途中でウトウトしてしまったけど、不思議な森の中や綺麗な海が見える景色を馬の背から眺めるのは乙なものでした。お馬さんも大人しくて良い子でした。よく懐いてる野良猫と野良ニワトリも可愛かったです^^
乗馬クラブのトイレは外の仮設のようなトイレ1個しかないので、ドールプランテーションの綺麗なトイレで済ませておくことを強くお勧めします。ドールのパイナップルソフトクリームとクッキーは美味しかったです。
乗馬に付き物の、ヘルメットと手袋のレンタルはありません。日焼けと傷防止のためにも、帽子と長袖・長ズボン・軍手などの汚れても良い手袋を持参すると良いです。
私はエビが苦手なのですが、行ったランチはシュリンプ以外のメニューが無く(フルーツサラダがメニューにあるけど実際は売ってなかった)、シュリンプランチ以外のクレジットカードが使えるトイレつきの涼しく綺麗なレストランで食べたかった気もしますが。有名なお店だそうで、ガイドさんが気を使って私に添え物のパイナップルをくれました。
この木なんの木や、ドール、ウミガメ、ハレイワタウン、イレギュラーな対応もして頂き、盛りだくさんのイベントでした。
そのため帰る時間が遅くなりましたが、ガイドさんはお喋りで親切でした。

My wife and I participated together. At first, my wife was hesitant to join, but she started smiling halfway through. By the end, she was eager to participate again. Since it was her first time, she was filled with anxiety and a sense of loneliness about riding alone. However, after mounting the horse for a while, she seemed to calm down with the intelligence of the well-trained horse and enjoyed the experience of horseback riding.
Having experienced horseback riding on the North Shore beaches, I found the location of this ranch to be wonderful. I particularly liked the view of Kaneohe Bay and Chinaman's Hat from the top of the hill. However, it's essential to be able to operate a camera or video with one hand, as one hand is needed for the reins. The staff will take photos in certain locations, but you still want to capture your own memories.
妻と2人で参加しました。
最初参加を渋っていた妻は、途中からにこにこ顔。
終わった後では、また参加したいという始末。
妻は初めてだったので、まず不安と1人で乗るという心細さでいっぱい。しかし、鞍に跨りしばらくしたら、上手に躾けられた馬の利口さに心が落ち着き、乗馬の楽しさを満喫したようです。
ノースショアのビーチで乗馬体験のある私は、今回の牧場の中というロケーションが、すばらしかったです。
丘の上から見下ろしたカネオヘ湾や、チャナマンズハットの景色が気に入りました。
ただし、カメラやビデオは、片手で操作できる事が必須です。片手は手綱ですから。スタッフが場所により撮影してくれますが、やはり自分で撮りたいですものね。

The location is fantastic.
Scenes from movies and commercials unfolded right before my eyes, and the impact was several times greater than what you see on screen.
However, since it was the rainy season, we set off in light rain.
You can borrow a raincoat, but I was appalled by its dirtiness. The helmet was the same.
So, if the weather is clear, it would be perfect.
If you're going by rental car, you can also stop by the North on your way back, so I think you can enjoy the day.

It was so much fun that since returning home, I've been looking for trips where I can ride horses. It became my most enjoyable memory from the trip to Hawaii.

After several trips to Oahu and never having the opportunity to hike Makapu'u since I don't rent a car and the nearest bus stop is over a mile from the trailhead, I was happy to see Kaimana Tours offering transportation from Waikiki hotels to the trailhead.
As the only person taking the tour that day, I was put on a shuttle with a group headed to Hanauma Bay. Pickup from my hotel was prompt, the driver was both professional and entertaining, and pickup from the trailhead was efficient (all I had to do was call the office when I finished the hike, and the driver was there within 10-15 mins)!
As for the hike itself, it is actually a walk on a paved, slightly inclined one mile-ish road. The sights were beautiful all the way to the top, and people of all activity levels should be able to handle this without any issues.
All-in-all, Kaimana Tours delivered an A+++ experience, and I hope to partake in their other tour offerings the next time I'm in Oahu!

I was very excited! To be honest, I was a bit scared before doing it, but the instructor was easy to talk to, which helped me relax a little. Since it's a sport that requires personal responsibility, I think it's good to challenge yourself once you've made up your mind! Once you jump, you'll experience wind pressure, scenery, and thrills like you've never felt before. I think running shoes that can be tightened with laces are best. You can't bring a camera, but you can request paid photography. It's an amazing sport overall.
非常に興奮しました!やる前は正直怖かったですが、インストラクターは気軽に話してくれ多少リラックスできます。
あくまで自己責任のスポーツなので覚悟を決めたらチャレンジするのもいいと思います!
飛んだら、今までに感じたことのない風圧・景色・スリルが味わえます。
靴は紐のきつくできるランニングシューズ的なものがいいと思います。カメラは持っていけません。撮影は有料で頼めます。とにかくすごいスポーツです。

The horses taken care of by the cowgirls were well-trained, and I felt completely at ease riding them. The duration was just right, and I definitely want to come back.
草原のような牧場をイメージしていましたが、ちょっとした山道を登っていく思ったよりワイルドなコースで、頂上では海も見え、楽しい経験となりました。
カウガールたちの世話している馬たちは、よく調教されていて乗っていて全然不安を感じません。
時間の長さもちょうど良く、ぜひまた来たいと思います。

I signed up at the request of my son, who is learning horseback riding. I thought two hours would be tough for a beginner, but it wasn't that bad. The horse was very gentle, but it occasionally wandered off to eat leaves or took several bathroom breaks, which was amusing. There was a Japanese video before the horseback riding, so I understood the precautions well. We went from a narrow mountain path to a road with a view of the sea, and entering the valley revealed a completely different landscape from the wide-open sea. There were guides about filming locations for movies like Lost, Godzilla, and Jurassic Park, which was enjoyable. However, since all the participants were from English-speaking countries and the staff only spoke English, we felt a bit isolated as we were outside the explanation circle... It seems that half-day or one-day tours have more Japanese participants. It's recommended to book in advance as it's cheaper than signing up directly on-site.
乗馬を習っている息子のリクエストで申込みました。
初心者で2hはキツイかな?と思いましたが、それほどでもなかったです。
馬はとてもおとなしいのですが、時々寄り道して葉っぱを食べてしまったり、何度もトイレタイムになったりして笑えました。
乗馬の前に日本語のビデオがあるので、注意事項はよくわかりました。
細い山道から海の見える道に行って、渓谷に入ると広々とした海とは全く違う風景。
ロストやゴジラ、ジュラシックパークの映画のロケ地の案内があって楽しめます。
ただ、参加者が全員英語圏でスタッフも英語しか話せないので解説の圏外にいた私たちは孤独感・・・
半日や1DAYのツアーは日本人が多いらしいですね。
現地で直接申し込みより安いので事前申し込みがオススメです。
Thank you for your visit.
The scenery is magnificent, and before you know it, two hours have passed while you are captivated by it.
We look forward to your next visit.
ご来場有難うございました。
景色が雄大で、見とれているうちに2時間があっという間にたってしまいますよね。
またのご来場をお待ちしております。

As expected, I felt energized.
It might have been a coincidence, but we had one staff member guiding us for the two of us, so we were able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace.
We didn't choose the shuttle service, so we took the city bus, and since I can't speak English, I was nervous about whether we would arrive safely.
I recommend the shuttle service for those who are not confident.
The journey there is also a memorable experience.
期待通り、パワーをもらえた気がします。
たまたまなのか、案内のスタッフさん1人×私たち2人で回ったので、ゆったり楽しめました。
送迎付にしなかったので、市バスで行ったのですが、英語が話せないので無事に到着するかドキドキでした。
自信のない方は、送迎付をお勧めします。
行きの道中もまた思い出ですが。
Thank you for your visit.
If you choose the transportation option, you can travel back and forth without worry.
We look forward to your next visit!
ご来場有難うございました。
送迎付きにしていただければ、心配なく往復できます。
またのご来場お待ちしております!

Thank you for visiting.
When riding a horse, your viewpoint becomes quite high, so it might be a little scary at first.
However, I'm glad your wife enjoyed it as well.
On the two-hour course, we go in the opposite direction (to the Ka'a'awa Valley, which has many movie filming locations), so please be sure to try the two-hour experience next time.
We look forward to your next visit!
ご来場有難うございました。
馬に乗ると目線がかなり高くなるので、最初は少々怖いかもしれませんね。
でも奥様にも楽しんでいただけて嬉しく思います。
2時間コースでは反対の方角(映画のロケ地が多数ある、カアアヴァ渓谷)へ行くので、
今度は是非、2時間も体験してみてください。
またのご来場お待ちしております!
