Oahu
I have been to Hawaii several times, but I participated in this activity because I could experience horseback riding. While enjoying the North Shore, including the Dole Plantation and the town of Haleiwa, I took a 45-minute horseback ride along the coast. The scenery was beautiful, the horses were adorable, and I was able to enjoy nature.
8/1…何度か来てるハワイでしたが、乗馬が体験できるので、こちらのアクティビティに参加しました。
ドールプランテーションやハレイワの街など、ノースショアを満喫しながら、海岸を乗馬で45分間散策しました。
景色は綺麗だし、馬は可愛いし、自然の中で楽しむことができました。
This tour focuses on horseback riding, but you can also stop by the Dole Plantation (for about an hour) and do some sea turtle watching (for about 10 minutes) along the way. However, since these are just side stops, you might not want to expect too much from them. The main horseback riding experience was great for beginners, as they teach you from scratch. The terrain was surprising, as I didn't know there were such forested areas in Hawaii. However, the driver, who was with us the longest, could speak Japanese but didn't talk much, so the hospitality was a bit lacking... Everyone seemed to be sleeping during the ride.
*Note: The horseback riding can get quite muddy, so make sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.*
乗馬をメインとしたツアーですが移動途中にDoleプランテーション(滞在1時間)やウミガメ(滞在10分)ウォッチングなどもできます。でも飽くまでついでに寄るくらいなのであまり期待しない方がいいかも。メインの乗馬は一から教えてくれるので初心者向けで面白かったです。地形もハワイにこんなところがあったのかと思うような森の中を進みます。ただ一番長い間一緒にいるドライバーのお兄さんが日本語は話せるけどあまりしゃべらない人でホスピタリティについてはビミョー。。みんな移動中は寝てましたね。
※乗馬では足元が結構ドロドロなので汚れても良い格好で行きましょう。
Riding on the back of a slowly walking horse while gazing at the beautiful sea was truly enjoyable. It was my first time riding a horse, but I was able to get on easily without feeling scared. I think the horse was quite old, so I felt grateful for the ride and hoped it would do its best to walk, but I was just so happy to have my first horseback riding experience. My husband said that a shorter time would have been fine, but I wanted to go riding for the same amount of time every day. As for clothing, I thought that as long as I wore sturdy footwear (like sneakers), it would be fine, just like when sightseeing.
ゆっくりと歩く馬の背中に乗り、とってもキレイな海を眺めながらの時間は本当に楽しかったです。馬に乗るのは初めてだったのですが、怖い思いもせず、簡単に馬の背中に乗れました。たぶん、かなり高齢の馬だと思ので、乗せてくれてありがとうございます、頑張って歩いてくださいねって感じもありましたが、私は初乗馬が嬉しいばかりでした。主人は、もっと短い時間でも良いと言いましたが、私は同じ時間ぐらいを毎日でも乗りに行きたかったです。服装は足元さえしっかりしたもの(スニーカー等)を履いていれば、他の観光するときと同じで大丈夫だなと思いました。
Both hikes were fantastic! My grandson enjoys hiking and loved both experiences. He especially enjoyed the Manoa Falls Trail hike. The sky was overcast and we got rained on several times, but that just added to the experience! We thoroughly enjoyed it!!
Best tour of the trip this time . Walk to the manoa waterfalls, rainy and muddy . Full of fun! Remember to bring the insects repellent. Walking sticks from the tour company really help a lot!
The tour bus picked us up at our hotel on time and were very friendly. He provided us with local information along the way. The hikes at both Diamond head and Manoa Falls were spectacular. This tour is one that can't be missed!
Driver only spoke of food! Then it was not very clear on what was included so we missed the food trucks and NO lunch (after all talk and no food).
Aloha Ms Cueno, we are very sorry to hear that the driver was not clear about things an only talked about food.
We will definitely talk to him about it.
Just to be clear, the tour package you bought included the kayak plus the admission to the falls park, but did not include a free lunch on us.
Some of the other customers use only one activity and have lunch on us -in lieu- of the second activity . Is this where the confusion started?
Our manager will call you to clarify everything with you.
Much aloha
I participated alone. In the morning, I had a doll pineapple, and for lunch, I enjoyed a recommended shrimp plate lunch from the guide in Haleiwa. It was very delicious. The horseback riding was a lot of fun, enhanced by the beauty of Turtle Bay. The horses were well-trained, and it felt more like being carried by the horse rather than riding it. Even for first-timers, as long as you hold the reins properly, you'll be fine. The horses follow the guide's instructions, and the scenery was so beautiful that time flew by. On the way back, I observed sea turtles at the beach, which was very soothing.
一人で参加 午前中はドールパイナップル、お昼は ハレイワで ガイドさんお勧めのエビのプレートランチを食べました。とてもおいしかったです。乗馬はタートルベイの美しさと重なりとても楽しかったです。馬もちゃんと訓練されており馬に乗っているというよりも乗せてもらっているみたいな感じでした。初めての方でも たずな をしつかり持っていれば大丈夫 コースガイドさんの指示で馬は動きますので 何より景色がきれいなので テンションが上がりあっという間でした。帰りはビーチでウミガメ見学 癒されました。
I wanted to spend some relaxing time on the North Shore, so I joined this tour with a longer stay. The other two families besides us were planning to go horseback riding.
During the trip, they provided us with information on how to enjoy the North Shore and details about the shops, which was very helpful since we joined without any plans.

Since I was traveling alone, I participated with safety in mind. The timing was also very organized, so I could join without any worries. Along the way, I learned various interesting facts and even got to see turtles, which made me very satisfied! Haleiwa was amazing. If I had to say something negative, it would be that there wasn't enough time. Next time, I want to go to Kailua.
一人旅だったので、安全を考えて参加させていただきました。
時間もきちんとしていて、不安なく参加できました。道中、いろんな豆知識もきけたし、亀にも会えて大満足!
ハレイワ最高でした
難を言えば、時間が足りなかったかなぁ。
次回はカイルアに行きたいです
In the town of North Shore, I didn't have much time for sightseeing, but I was able to enjoy delicious garlic shrimp and Matsumoto Shave Ice, recommended by our guide. As a beginner in horseback riding, I had some anxiety, but it was fun to appreciate the beautiful seaside scenery from the unique perspective of being on a horse's back. The horse seemed to be hungry and didn't always listen to me, which made it a bit challenging, but aside from nibbling on grass, it walked along the course without me needing to pull on the reins, making horseback riding surprisingly easy. I was disappointed that I couldn't see any sea turtles from the beach, but since I had some extra time, our guide took us to a popular coffee stand where I enjoyed a tasting, which made me feel like I got a little bonus.
ノースショアの町では観光というほど時間はありませんでしたが、ガイドさんおすすめの美味しいガーリックシュリンプとマツモトシェイブアイスを食べることが出来ました。乗馬は初心者なので、不安はありましたが、海辺のきれいな景色をお馬さんの背中という普段とは違った視点から堪能できて楽しかったです。馬がおなかを空かせていたようで、言うことをなかなか聞いてくれずに苦戦しましたが、草をつまみ食いしているとき以外は、手綱を切らずともコースを外れずに歩いてくれて、意外と簡単に乗馬が出来ました。ビーチからウミガメが見れなかったのが残念でしたが、時間に余裕があったため、ガイドさんが人気のコーヒーの直売所に連れて行って下さり、試飲を楽しめたため、少し得をした気分になれました。
The shuttle driver was an expert at driving on tricky roads. It was great having water and a walking stick provided. And of course the scenery and waterfall were breathtaking.
This was my third time in Hawaii, and my first horseback riding experience! Initially, I was considering horseback riding at Kualoa, but I chose this place because I wanted to try the authentic garlic shrimp! As a result, I was thrilled to ride in the best location! The horses got distracted along the way and literally stopped to graze (~_~;), which was quite an amusing experience! Thank you to the friendly guide as well!
ハワイ3回目にして初めての乗馬❗️最初はクアロアで乗馬を考えていましたが、本場のガーリックシュリンプが食べたくてこっちにしました!結果最高のロケーションでの乗馬が出来て感激‼️お馬さん達は、途中食欲に負けて文字どうりの道草(~_~;)これも中々の面白い体験でした‼️親切なガイドさんもありがとう〜〜‼️
I participated during free time.
I was with the horseback riding group.
I also spent about 30 minutes at the Dole Plantation. It was nice that it was not crowded since it was right after opening.
After that, I had free time on the North Shore. I think the timing was just right for enjoying the garlic chicken, visiting the original Kua 'Aina, and shopping.
Later, after visiting a few beaches to see sea turtles, I rejoined the horseback riding group and headed to Waikiki.
I felt that being able to sleep in the car on the way back was something you can only do on a tour.
The guide/driver had a very calm tone, which was nice.
Since it was hard to hear the name, I thought it would have been even better if there were name tags in the car.
I would like to participate again.
フリータイムで参加しました。
乗馬の方と一緒でした。
ドールにも30分ほどよりました。開店直後なので空いていてよかったです。
その後はノースショアのフリータイム。
フリフリチキンに、クアアイナの本店、買い物など、ちょうどいい時間だったと思います。
その後、ウミガメを見にいくつかビーチをまわったあと、乗馬の方と合流で、ワイキキへ。でした。
帰りの車で眠れたのはツアーじゃないとできないと思いました。
ガイドの運転手の方もとても穏やかな口調で良かったです。
名前が聞き取りにくかったので車に名札でもあると尚良かったと思います。
また参加したいです。
I signed up for the "Free Time Plan" with my colleagues at work. I had already visited Haleiwa several times, but the tours usually only offered about an hour of free time, which didn't allow for much freedom. However, this "Free Time Plan" provides about three and a half hours of free time, allowing you to go wherever you like at your leisure.
I strolled from Macky's Shrimp Truck to Haleiwa Beach Park, taking breaks at a café, having lunch, and shopping along the way. I truly enjoyed exploring Haleiwa from one end to the other! This is a convenient and excellent plan for those who want to go wherever they please without being tied to a tour schedule.
会社の同僚と「フリータイムプラン」に申込みました。
ハレイワは既に何度か訪れている街だったのですが、フリー時間が1時間程度のツアーばかりでなかなか自由が利きません。
しかし、この「フリータイムプラン」はフリー時間が3時間半程度あり、気ままに好きな場所へ行くことが出来ます。
マッキーズのシュリンプトラックからハレイワビーチパークまで散策しましたが、途中カフェで休憩をしたり、昼食をとったり、買い物をしたりと、まさにハレイワの端から端まで堪能できました!
ツアースケジュールに縛られず、好きなところへ行きたい方には手軽で最高のプランです。
Shopping and lunch in the North were great, and afterwards, I went horseback riding by the beach, which was incredibly relaxing. The horses were smart and cute, and the scenery was amazing—I was very satisfied! ♡
ノースでの買い物やランチも出来てその後は海辺の乗馬ですごく癒されました。馬もお利口で可愛いし、景色は最高で大満足でした♡
It was great, i got picked up and he drove out to the northshore, showed us around the town and then the activities started. He was very available to pickup after each activity and drop you off where you wanted to go. Waterfall, snorkeling, shrimp truck, beach time & stand up paddle board, it was great. There are other activities to pick from. He even stopped because he saw a sea turtle was sitting on the beach, so we could see it and take pics, it was great!
I slowly rode while looking at Turtle Bay. It felt so nice. The horses were calm and very gentle. I'm sorry for being a heavy lady. It was a very enjoyable and delightful horseback riding experience in Hawaii. They guided us to the shrimp lunch early, so we could eat right away without waiting. It was delicious!
タートルベイを横に見ながらゆっくりと乗馬します。まあ~気持ちのいいこと。
おとなしくてとっても優しい馬たち。重たいオバサンでごめんなさいね。
とても楽しいうれしいハワイでの乗馬体験でした。シュリンプのランチも早めに
案内してくれて待つことなくすぐに食べられました。美味しかった~。
We did the Diamond Head and Manoa Falls hikes. Both were very different and beautiful in their own ways. We are glad we did the Diamond Head hike in the early hours and were able to do the Mania Falls hike during the heat of the day since it was a cooler hike. Advice: take plenty of bug spray for the Manoa Falls hike! And as a side note, Romero our tour driver was fantastic! He told us some local history and gave us advice on places to go and eat.

This tour is a great way to see and experience the North Shore from the land and in the water. Our tour guide (HC) knew his way around the island like nobody's business. He went the extra mile to ensure we had a great time. Plenty of time for snorkeling, bike riding, checking out waterfalls, SUP or kayaking AND SHOPPING! I highly recommend!
I participated in a company trip with my senior. I was nervous about my first horseback riding experience, but the horse was well-trained, so I was able to enjoy the ride. I was lucky to see sea turtles as well.
会社の旅行で先輩と一緒に参加しました。
初乗馬で緊張しましたが馬もしっかり調教されていたので、楽しんで乗れました。
ウミガメも見れてラッキーでした。
Our driver gave us history of the crater and tips about local spots as we traveled through the city. Very friendly. The hike was great. Very senic and not that taxing.
We stopped by the beach to see the sea turtles, and there was over an hour of free time for hiking in Haleiwa. It was packed with activities, but our guide managed the time very well, allowing us to enjoy everything without wasting any time. We also had a lot of conversations in the car, learning various things about Hawaii, which was very educational! Since I love plants, the guide taught us the names of mango trees and many Hawaiian flowers.
In Haleiwa, to make the most of our time, the guide recommended ordering garlic shrimp, which was incredibly delicious compared to what I had the day before in Waikiki.
We had plenty of time for the hiking course while waiting for those participating in the horseback riding tour. After hiking, we could relax and have tea, so rather than feeling like we were waiting, we could stroll at our own pace and enjoy shaved ice, which was a good balance.
I would love to join the same plan again and see the sea turtles that I missed this time!
ドールによって、海がめみにビーチに立ち寄り、ハレイワで1時間以上のフリー
ハイキングでは2時間以上のフリー時間でした。盛りだくさんですが
すごく時間をしっかり仕切ってくださるガイドの方でしたので無駄なく楽しめました。また車中もすごく沢山話をして色々ハワイのお話が聞けて勉強になりました!
植物が好きなのでマンゴーの木やハワイのお花の名前も沢山教えてくれました。
またハレイワでは効率よく過ごすためにガイドさんおすすめのガーリックシュリンプを注文してくれました。前日ワイキキで食べたものとは比べ物にならないくらいおいしかったです。
乗馬のツアー参加の方を待つのでハイキングコースは時間がすごくたっぷりあるようですが
ハイキング終わってお茶したりもできるので待ったというよりは自分のペースでゆっくり散策・カキ氷を食べたりでき配分も良かったです。
また同じプラン参加して、今回見れなかった海がめを見たいです!
Great to have a ride there and back to our hotel and water provided. Way too much time left in the park though. Our entire group was done the hike in about an hour and had to wait another hour and a half for him to return.
This was just perfect for me and aside from the strong winds causing the visitor center to be closed , I was very happy I took the self guided tour and yet had the informative drive up to the drop off location with the added pointers, water and walking stick (it did come in handy but I could've done without it). It was a good value and our driver Romero , was great!
I participated in a beach horseback riding plan with my husband, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. After visiting Moanalua Gardens and Dole Plantation, we headed to Haleiwa. The guide mentioned that they would call in an order for garlic shrimp, but I really wanted to eat huli huli chicken, so I arranged this tour to match the day and decided to walk to get the chicken instead of ordering. There were no tables or chairs provided, so I enjoyed it sitting on a bench at a nearby bus stop.
I was able to enjoy shopping and take my time in Haleiwa more than on previous tours. Heather Brown's artwork was about $5 cheaper than in Waikiki (according to the staff, the prices differ because she operates out of the North Shore).
After that, we went horseback riding. The explanation was in English, but the guide also provided interpretation and took photos for us. The horse occasionally wandered off to eat grass, and I couldn't lead it as I wanted, but it was very gentle, and I enjoyed leisurely watching the ocean and taking pictures. I definitely recommend this over Kualoa.
Then we went to see the honu (sea turtles). The waves were high, so we thought we might not see them, but we were able to see them up close. Along the way, we saw a surfing competition from the car, making for a very fulfilling tour. The guide shared various stories and kindly offered to take photos at each stop, making for a very friendly and wonderful experience.
ハワイ初めての主人と2人で海辺乗馬プランに参加しました。
モアナルアガーデン、ドールプランテーションに続き、ハレイワへ。
ガイドさんがおすすめのガーリックシュリンプを事前に電話注文してくれるとの事でしたが、
私は今回どうしてもフリフリチキンを食べたくて、曜日を合わせてこのツアーを申し込んだので、注文せずフリフリチキンを食べに車を降りてから歩いて行きました。
食べる机やイスは用意されていないので、近くのバス停のイスで頂きました。
ショッピングをしたり以前参加したツアーよりもゆっくりとハレイワを満喫できました。
ヘザーブラウンの作品は、ワイキキよりも5ドル程安かったです。(店員さんによるとノースショアを拠点に活動しているので、値段が違うのだそう)
その後、乗馬へ。
英語での説明でしたが、ガイドさんが通訳もしてくれ、写真も撮ってくださいました。
お馬さんは、途中草を食べに寄り道したり思うようにリードすることが出来ないこともありましたが、とても大人しく、海を眺めたり写真を撮ったりのんびり楽しめました。
クアロアよりも断然おすすめです。
それからホヌを見に行きました。波が高いせいもあり、見られないかも…との事でしたが無事に間近で見ることが出来ました。
途中サーフィンの大会をやっているのを車から見られたり、とても充実したツアーでした。
ガイドさんも色々なお話をしてくれたり、行く先々で写真撮りましょうか~と話しかけてきて下さって、とても気さくで、素敵な時間を過ごせました。
Taking this tour was very helpful in making sure we made the most out of our visit. Our guide gave us a detailed review of the area so that we were able to make an informed decision on our activities. I would definitely recommend this tour.
The weather was unstable, and in Haleiwa, there was a power outage due to heavy rain and lightning, so we couldn't enjoy shopping, but we were able to enjoy horseback riding in the rain.
Perhaps because there were many people, there weren't enough rain gear, and the guide offered his own jacket. I thought it would be good to prepare with more leeway.
It was my first time horseback riding, but there were no problems at all. Even when the horse stopped to graze along the way, the staff casually said, "Let it eat."
The garlic shrimp recommended by the guide was the most delicious I've ever had, and I'm glad they introduced it to us. The children also said it was the most fun memory of their trip to Hawaii.
I would definitely like to participate again.
天気が不安定で、ハレイワでは大雨と落雷で停電し買い物は楽しめませんでしたが、乗馬は雨の中楽しむことが出来ました。
人数が多かったせいか雨具が足りず、ガイドさんが自分のジャケットを差し出していました。
余裕をもって用意していただきたいと思いました。
乗馬は初めてでしたが、何の問題もなかったです。
途中馬が道草を食っても、係りの人は「食べさせてあげて~」とのんびりした感じでした。
ガイドさんおすすめのガーリックシュリンプは、今までで一番おいしく紹介していただいてよかったです。
子供たちもハワイ旅行で一番楽しい思い出だと言っております。
またぜひ参加したいです。
Mr. Nakamura constantly shared various local stories, so the one-hour drive from Haleiwa to Oahu was not boring at all! The horseback riding in the valley was a bit nerve-wracking, but the horses are well-trained enough for beginners to ride comfortably, so you can ride with peace of mind. The staff at the riding arena are cheerful and kind people. I was able to enjoy the garlic shrimp in Haleiwa at a leisurely pace, and it was a very satisfying trip! 😊
中村さんが絶えず色々現地のお話をしてくれたので、ハレイワーオアフ間の1時間のドライブも退屈せず過ごせました!
渓谷乗馬は少しドキドキしましたが、初心者も心地よく乗れる位に訓練された馬なので、安心して乗れますよ〜。馬場のスタッフさんも陽気で優しい人です。
ハレイワのガーリックシュリンプもゆっくり食べれて、大満足の旅行でした^^
I usually rent a car and head north, but this time I decided to do everything through optional tours without renting a car. The guide was Japanese and provided detailed information, and I was able to see places I had never known about before, like Turtle Bay Hotel, which allowed me to relax.
いつもはレンタカーを借りてノース方面へ行っていましたが、今回はレンタカーを借りずにすべてオプショナルツアーにしてみました。ガイドの方は日本人で細かいところまで教えてくださり、今まで知らなかったタートルベイホテルなども見ることができてのんびりできました。
