Oahu
Had an enjoyable and unforgettable evening, beautiful entertainers...will definitely come again!
Had an awesome & knowledgeable tour guide on the bus...way to go "K"
The main event of our trip to Hawaii is always interesting, as the route changes every time we come. This time, even though I just went horseback riding on the 27th, it was completely engaging, with new emotions and discoveries each time. I have had different horseback riding experiences in Japan and Hawaii, but so far, the freedom of riding without a lead rope here is the best. I still find it exciting, and when we plan our next trip to Hawaii, I will definitely include this activity in our schedule. It has brought so much joy to our family.
ハワイ旅行のメインイベント、毎回来るたびにルートが違ってとても面白いです、今回も、２７日、乗馬したばかりなのにまったく飽きさせず、その都度新しい感動、発見があります、日本やハワイでも今まで違う乗馬体験をしましたが、今のところ、引き綱なしの解放感乗馬ができ、ここが一番、まだまだ、飽きずに、またハワイ旅行を計画した際は絶対このアクティビティは外さず日程に入れます、それだけ私たち家族を楽しませてくれています。

Every time I come to Hawaii, I make sure to experience horseback riding. My grandchildren never get tired of it, no matter how many times we go. This time, we did encounter a little rain along the way, but I thought it was part of the experience. As we rode through the trees, we eventually reached a breathtaking spot where we could overlook Haleiwa Bay. While I had been feeling nervous about riding until then, my heart opened up completely. In our family, we have decided that Hawaii equals horseback riding, and we plan our schedule around it.
ハワイに来るたびに必ず体験しています。孫ともども何回乗馬しても飽きさせません。今回は途中で少しシャワーにあってしまいましたが、それもありかなっと思いました。木々の間を乗馬しながら突き進み、いつしかハレイワ湾を見渡せる絶景場所に来ると、今までドキドキしながら乗馬していたのに一変で心が開かれました。我が家では、ハワイ＝乗馬と決めて日程を組んでいます。

The car was clean, and the guide provided a lot of information along the way. On the way back, we also toured downtown. We were able to see sea turtles, and the garlic shrimp from the restaurant they recommended was peeled and easy to eat. It was a pity that we had a short time to explore the town of Haleiwa, and I couldn't have Matsumoto Shave Ice. We enjoyed riding the horse for over 40 minutes. The local guide mentioned that the minimum age is 7 years and the height requirement is 4 feet 4 inches, so I was worried about the height, but even smaller children around 120 centimeters were properly adjusted and able to ride.
車もキレイで、ガイドさんが道中たくさんガイドしてくれて、帰り道はダウンタウンも回ってくれました。
ウミガメも見れたし、紹介してもらったお店のガーリックシュリンプは殻をむいてあり食べやすかったです。ハレイワの街の散策時間が短く、マツモトシェーブアイスが食べられなかったのが残念でした。馬はたっぷり40分以上乗れて堪能しました。現地の案内では7歳以上、4フィート4インチ以上書かれていたので身長が足りないと心配しましたが、120センチ程度の小さめな子でもちゃんと調整して乗せてもらっていました。

My wife has experience riding horses at Kualoa Ranch and was determined to go horseback riding when we visited Hawaii. My two grandchildren, aged 7 and 10, were experiencing horseback riding for the first time. Since Kualoa Ranch only allows participants aged 10 and older, we were able to join this tour.
At first, we received instructions on how to handle the horses, but I was worried and anxious about whether the horses would listen to us.
The instructor rode at the front, holding the reins of my 7-year-old grandchild's horse, while each of us handled our own reins for the other horses. Next in line were the horses ridden by my 10-year-old grandchild, my wife, and myself, followed by the horses of four other participants in the tour, and finally the instructor's horse, making a total of ten horses. We rode through the valley for about 75 minutes.
The horses were smart; they stopped when the horse in front stopped and moved forward when it did. We hardly needed to use the reins to guide our horses, allowing us to enjoy a comfortable riding experience with views of the valley and the North Shore ocean occasionally visible.
I want to express my gratitude to my wife, the organizers of this tour, and the staff at the ranch for providing my grandchildren and me with such a memorable experience.
私の家内はクアロラ牧場での乗馬経験が有り、ハワイに行くなら絶対乗馬はしたいとのことでした。私と７歳と１０歳の孫は初めての乗馬体験です。クアロラ牧場は、１０歳以上しか参加できないので今回のツアーに参加させていただきました。
最初は、馬の取扱いについて説明してもっらったのですが、馬がきいてくれるのか心配で不安でした。
インストラクターの方が馬に乗って先頭で、７歳の孫の乗った馬の手綱を持って、後の馬は各自で手綱をひきます（持つ）。次に１０歳の孫の乗った馬、家内の乗った馬、私の乗った馬、後同じツアーに参加された４名の方の馬、最後インストラクターの方の乗った馬の１０頭の編成で渓谷を７５分ぐらい乗馬出来ました。
馬は賢く前の馬が止まれば止まり、進めば同じように進みます。ほとんど手綱を使って自分の馬に指示することなく、渓谷と時折見えるノースショアの海の眺望など、快適な乗馬体験が出来ました。
私も、孫二人も今までにない思い出に残る経験ができたことに、家内と今回のツアーの主催者、牧場の方々に感謝したいと思います。

This was a lot of fun but I think it would have been better if the bus would go to the waterfall and one beach place to allow more time to do activities. Our bus driver was informative but repeated himself alot which did get a little annoying at times.
We had a three hour tour. This was way overpriced and what I would consider a rip off. I think an extra touch would of been to find out where they were filming for the day and at least let us know even if we had to go on our own. I wouldn't care to do it again and will advise my friends not to. It also said to bring money for lunch. There was no lunch stop.
The tour is very educational. We enjoyed it very much. Larry, our bus driver, made it exciting and entertaining. So I'd like to thank them for a great time!
Our tour guide was awesome - very informative and entertaining tour. Pearl harbor was amazing, our only disappointment was that the navy wouldn't let us onto the Arizona memorial due to "high winds".
Highly recommended tour!
The driver Patrick was nice and the tour in the city interesting. At pearl Harbor we were very disapointed cause the boat could not let us go on the arizona monument due to the wind !! That was our purpose to see it and the deception was high..
I think they choose horses according to the skill level, even for small children who have no riding experience. There is no Japanese guide during the ride, but you can learn the basics on the bus. It seems to be more suitable for advanced riders than the seaside course, but this is where you can enjoy the fun of horseback riding.
乗馬経験がなくても、小さな子供でも、スキルに合わせて馬を選んでくれているんだと思います。乗馬中は日本語ガイドはついてくれませんが、大体の基礎はバスの中で教えてもらえます。おそらく海辺のコースよりも上級者向けのようですが、乗馬の楽しさを味わえるのはこちらでしょうか。

We went on a hot day on our honeymoon. It was very interesting to hear about the history
I participated with my wife and my parents, who are nearly 80 years old. We found out at the last minute that our reserved sunset cruise was not available due to Independence Day, so we hurriedly signed up for this plan instead. It was quite a bit over our budget, but in the end, it was definitely the right choice. We were able to watch the Independence Day fireworks from the boat, and my parents were absolutely thrilled.
家内と80歳目前の両親と一緒に参加しました。他に予約していたサンセットクルーズが独立記念日ということで予約できてないことが直前にわかり、慌ててこちらのプランを申し込みました。予算的にはかなりオーバーしましたが、結果的にこちらで大正解でした。独立記念日の花火も船上から見ることができて、両親も大喜びでした。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠にありがとうございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

I have been to Hawaii several times, but I signed up for this experience because I wanted to try something new.
The experience in Haleiwa and horseback riding.
I wished I had a bit more time in Haleiwa, but next time, I’ll enjoy the town at a leisurely pace! I’m already planning my next trip to Hawaii and looking forward to it.
Horseback riding was fun as I felt like I was giving my own commands, but…
I was a bit surprised when I witnessed a child fall off because the saddle slipped.
My horse bit the back of the horse in front, and that horse kicked with its hind legs! It was quite thrilling.
(I’m glad there were no serious injuries.)
ハワイには、今まで何度か行ったことがありましたが、初めての経験をしたくて、申し込みました。
ハレイワと乗馬の体験。
ハレイワの時間が、もう少し欲しかったけれども、次は、ゆっくりハレイワの街を楽しもう！と、次回のハワイ旅行計画を立て楽しんでいます。
乗馬も自分で指示を出して乗馬をしている感じがあり、楽しかったですが…
馬の鞍がズレて子供が落馬をしたのを目撃したので、ちょっとビックリ。
私の馬が前の馬のお尻を噛み、前の馬が後ろ足で蹴り！と、ドキドキもありました。
(おおきな怪我が無かったので良かったです)

One The best tours on our trip and we would definitely do it again and we would recommend anyone to do it. The drivers knowledge was top notch and frequently stopped to point things out to us it was fabulous!!!
Tour guide was fantastic and we saw many, many memorable places on the island!
I absolutely loved this tour! Our tour guide Justin was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. It was fun, interesting and I enjoyed all the stops we went to, especially sunset beach. I highly recommend this tour.
We had Bob take us out to the west coast for the day, he was super knowledgeable about the history of Hawaii and provided a great cultural insight Into the lifestyle of the people.
We visited a magnificent cave, and several picturesque locations, followed up with a snorkel that was really appropriate to our skill level (intermediate).
He took plenty of pictures for us, and it was good to know that the tour went ahead regardless of numbers.
Fantastic day, best one of the holiday yet!
Aloha, thank you for your review!
We are try to learn "Hawaiian story" as much as we can.
Please let us know when you ever come back to Hawaii! We do a private tour too!

We enjoyed the trip and the experience, and the driver Jason was wondeful! Thank you!
It was well organized and everyone was very friendly. The singer Leilani was amazing she is a talented musician and told great stories. The food was better than expected. I would recommend to anyone.
It was disappointing that we couldn't see the sea turtles due to the weather. The horseback riding was great as we could explore along the mountains and the coast. However, since it was a group activity, we couldn't take photos during the ride, and it would have been nice to bring a selfie stick. It was dangerous while moving, but there were a few stops. Although we couldn't take photos during the ride, we were able to take a commemorative photo after it ended.
天候の関係でウミガメが見られなかったのは残念でした。乗馬は山沿いや海沿いなどを散策出来てとてもよかったです。ただ、団体での参加だったので仕方がないかもしれませんが乗馬中の写真を撮れない、撮ってもらえなかったので自撮り棒などを持参すればよかったです。動いている時は危険ですが、何か所か止まる時があったので。乗馬中は無理でしたが乗馬が終了した時に記念写真を撮ってもらえました。

This was a powerful tour in part cause of our driver Tao!
The Japanese driver and guide initially gave a somewhat brusque and intimidating impression during the pickup and at the beginning, but during the horseback riding, they prioritized safety and consulted with the ranch staff, which allowed us to ride with peace of mind. I went with my family on a free plan, and they confirmed our itinerary together. The coastal horseback riding offered a view overlooking the coast from a higher vantage point; although we didn't walk on the sandy beach, the scenery was beautiful.
日本人の運転手兼ガイドさんは、ピックアップ時や最初の方はややぶっきらぼうで怖い印象でしたが、乗馬の際は安全性を重視して牧場の人に意見してくれて安心して乗馬ができました。
フリープランの家族と行きましたが、同行する行程を確認してくれました。
海岸乗馬は、一段高いところから海岸を見下ろしす感じで、砂浜を歩くわけではありませんが眺めはよいです。

I had a really good time with my husband!! Perfect date night. The food was delicious and so were the drinks.
This was a very interesting event learning about the different cultures of the islands, The shows they put on where outstanding, our personal guide Rene was fantastic and very knowledgeable. The luau show were great, and the finale of The Breath of Life show is a must see, that was just plain awesome !!
A friendly Japanese guide took us to a ranch, as well as to Dole Plantation and for garlic shrimp. Despite being occasionally distracted by horses grazing, we enjoyed horseback riding, which is not something you can easily experience in the city, and the garlic shrimp with no waiting time was delicious!
I would love to join this guide's tour again!
日本人の気さくなガイドさんが、牧場のほかドールプランテーションやガーリックシュリンプを案内してくれました。
時には草を食む馬に翻弄されながらも、都心ではなかなか体験できない乗馬をでき、待ち時間なしのガーリックシュリンプも美味しかったです！
このガイドさんのツアーは、また参加したいと思います！！

My first horseback riding in Hawaii!
As the tour title suggests, it was very active.
There were flat paths, but also narrow downhill trails,
and quite steep climbs, making it challenging to enjoy the surrounding scenery.
However, since the horses are well-trained, I realized towards the end of the course that if I just relaxed and trusted them,
I could enjoy the ride. After that, I was able to relax and fully enjoy the North Shore. (Yay!)
ハワイで、初めての乗馬！
OPツアータイトルの通り、とてもアクティビティでした。
平坦な道かと思えば、細い道の下り坂有り
結構、急な登坂も有りで周りの景色を見るのが大変でした。
しかし、馬の方が教育されているため、乗る側が身を任せれば
良いのがコース終盤で分かりました。
それからの、乗馬はリラックスできノースショアを
満喫できたました。（ヤッフー）

1. Movie location tour
2. Ancient fish pond and garden tour
3. Jungle exploration tour
4. Cruise
5. Private beach
It was a tour where you could choose three from 1 to 4, or 5 plus one from 1 to 4.
Our family, consisting of my husband, myself, and our 6-year-old son, participated in tours 2 to 4.
The garden tour (2) was unexpectedly enjoyable and fulfilling. It was an experiential tour. We were introduced to Hawaiian flowers and got to enjoy their scents, observe cotton, and taste fresh macadamia nuts. The taste was different from roasted nuts, making it a valuable experience. It seems that carnivorous fish inhabit the ancient fish pond, but we didn't get to see any.
The jungle exploration tour (3) was a jeep tour that took us to various highlights. We climbed mountains and enjoyed taking photos with the sea and the ancient fish pond in the background. It felt more like a historical discussion about the Hawaiian monarchy rather than a typical jungle exploration tour.
A common feature of tours 2 and 3 was the introduction of filming locations. It seems that Kualoa Ranch is famous for being a filming location, as there were many introductions to movies, dramas, and Japanese TV shows.
The cruise (4) was also enjoyable. We cruised to the private beach, encountered sea turtles, and unexpectedly got soaked, which made our child very excited. If you're lucky, you might also encounter manta rays.
For the private beach tour, participants were required to bring swimsuits and towels, but for the other tours, only long pants were mandatory, so I didn't bring a change of clothes, which was a mistake. If you're planning to participate in the cruise (4), bringing a change of clothes is essential.
Overall, our child had a great time throughout all the activities. We were satisfied, ranking them in the order of 4, 2, and 3 for enjoyment.
①映画ロケ地巡り、②古代養魚池とガーデンツアー、③ジャングル探検ツアー、④クルーズ、⑤プライベートビーチ
①〜④のうち3つまたは、⑤プラス①〜④のうち1つ選択するツアーでした。
我が家は夫婦と6歳男の子で②〜④に参加しました。
②のガーデンツアーが予想以上に楽しく、充実していました。体験型のツアーです。ハワイの花の紹介と実際に香りを楽しんだり、綿の観察、生のマカダミアナッツの試食などがありました。ローストされたナッツとはまた違った美味しさで、貴重な経験をしました。
古代養魚池には肉食魚が住んでいるようですが、お目にかかれませんでした。
③はジープで見所を回るツアーでした。山を登り、高い所から海と古代養魚池を背景に写真撮影を楽しむ印象です。ジャングル探検ツアーというよりかは、ハワイ王朝の歴史的な話がメインな印象です。
②と③で共通しているのは、ロケ地の紹介があったこと。クアロア牧場はロケ地で有名なのか、映画やドラマ、日本のテレビ番組の紹介が多く感じました。
④も楽しいクルーズです。プライベートビーチをクルーズし、海ガメに出会ったり、想定外にずぶ濡れになったりと子どもは大はしゃぎでした。運が良ければ、マンタなどにも出会えるそうです。
プライベートビーチのツアー参加者は水着やタオルの持ち物指定がありましたが、他は長ズボン必須とのことのみで着替えは持っていかず、失敗しました。④のクルーズに参加される、参加するかもと予定されている方は、着替えは必須です。
全体を通して、子どもは全て楽しく過ごしました。④②③の順で楽しかったと満足です。

日本人向けのツアーで日程的に参加できるものがなかったので、こちらに申し込みました。まず、ハナウマベイ、こちらは止まらないのでほとんど何も見ることができません。潮吹き穴、平等院、クアロアランチ、ドールなどでバスを降りて、最後ヌアヌ・パリです。運転手さんは親切でしたが、ずーーっと大音量で話をしていて、ご本人の家族の話やら、観光には全く関係のないことが多かったので、静かに景色を見たい人には不向きかもしれません。平等院はレプリカですが庭園も美しく、ツアー参加者に一番好評だったようで、多くの方が時間を長めに費やしていました。ドールではパイナップルトレインや迷路に入る時間はないので、お買い物中心。全体的にお店巡りが多いなーという印象でした。また、運転手さんに別途チップが必要になります。
I am so glad we decided to take this hike through Veltra tours, we were provided with walking sticks (which you will definitely need), water and insect repellent. I am a 60 years young female with lower back arthritis, my girlfriend is 72 years young and we both survived and enjoyed it.. The scenery along the hike is beautiful. You should not wear your very nice gym shoes due to some mud and rocks along the way. Getting to the top (end of hike) seems to never come quick enough, but by the end of the hike when you see how beautiful the waterfall is, it becomes well worth it.
