This was my second visit to Gunstock Ranch. This time, I mistakenly entered "Kahuku" instead of "Lai'e" into the rental car's navigation system, so I got quite lost before arriving... Upon arrival, I signed the liability waiver, had my luggage stored, and borrowed a helmet before heading out for horseback riding! The course was supposed to be one hour, but I think we ended up riding for over an hour. Last time, we had photos taken at the photo points, but this time, since the Travel Maker's donkey was with us (laughs), the staff member seemed to forget about taking pictures, so we didn't get any... However, the horses were all smart and gentle, making for a very pleasant riding experience. I would love to experience horseback riding here again on my next trip to Hawaii.
2度目のガンストック牧場。
今回はレンタカーのカーナビ入力で「ライエ」ではなく間違って「カフク」にしてしまったのでだいぶ迷いながら到着しました・・・
到着すると免責書類にサインをし、荷物を預かってもらい、ヘルメットを貸してもらいいざ乗馬!!
1時間コースでしたが1時間以上乗馬をしていたかと思います。
前回は写真ポイントで写真を撮って頂いたのですが、今回はトラベルメーカーのロバちゃん(笑)もついてきていたので、スタッフのお姉さんも写真のことを忘れていたのか、写真は撮って頂けませんでした・・・
しかし馬たちもかしこく大人しい馬ばかりでとても気持ちが良い乗馬体験が出来ました。
次回もハワイへ行った際はここで乗馬を体験したいです。

We enjoyed the cruise. The staff was very attentive to us. Dinner was first. Unfortunately the dinner lasted through the sunset and we were seated on the opposite side of the boat. So didn't really see the sunset. We did the crab legs dinner. It was nice. Make sure you get seconds when they offer. They come around a 1 time. The entertainment was fun. The dancers performed in the middle of the deck. That is why dinner is quick. The Honolulu lights at night are a pretty sight. The night was breezy so bring a sweater to through on in case.

I chose Gunstock Ranch from the many horseback riding plans available. Since I don't know about other horseback riding experiences, I can't compare, but I truly recommend Gunstock Ranch. First of all, the horses are calm and easy to ride. I had no anxiety at all. I didn't understand the English explanations very well, but it's reassuring even for first-timers. And above all, the course is fantastic. There are mountains and the sea, so I wasn't bored from start to finish. This time, I took the one-hour course, and I think it's just the right amount of time. If it were any longer, my legs might get tired...
たくさんある乗馬プランの中から、このガンストック牧場を選びました。他の乗馬を知らないので、比べられませんが、ガンストック牧場は本当にお勧めです。まずは馬がおとなしくて乗りやすいです。全く不安がありませんでした。英語の説明はよくわかりませんでしたが、初めての方でも安心です。そして何よりもコースが最高です。山あり海ありで、最初から最後まで退屈しませんでした。今回は1時間コースでしたが、調度良い時間だと思います。それ以上長いと足が疲れてしまうかも・・・。

It's not a stuffy restaurant, but every dish I tried was delicious. I requested a birthday cake, and they prepared it perfectly, creating a wonderful memory. It was great for our family with kids. It would have been even better if we could have reserved a window-side seat.
堅苦しいレストランではないけどお食事はどれを食べても美味しかったです。

We did the campfire dinner ride. They keep it to 2 to 6 people. We were the only 2 on the ride that night so it was a wonderful private ride too. It was very pleasant not being in a line of 20 horses like other places we rode. The ride is very enjoyable. Beautiful scenery. Relaxing ride. Clean pathway. Fresh air. The campfire is at the top of a hill so it was a little breezy. We went in December so it was a little cool. Dinner was nice. Good size steak and shrimp, macaroni salad, rice, fresh fruits, smores. More than we could eat. The guide was pleasant and helped my wife the couple times her horse wanted to go another direction. She let me lead a few times while she helped my wife. We will definitely do this ride when we make it back to Oahu.

I participated as a VIP, and the food and cocktails were so delicious that I finished them quickly.
The impersonators really looked like the real people. Celine, Presley, and Michael came out, and their singing and dancing were so impressive that I was captivated.
The hula dance and fire dance were amazing, incorporating elements of Hawaii, making it highly recommended for those who want to enjoy a lot of different experiences.

We went with our 4-year-old child. We made a VIP reservation and waited in a private room while enjoying cocktails and fruits. Then, Michael came and we took pictures together.
After that, it was dinner time, and everything was delicious—lobster, meat, salmon, and drinks. We were completely full. The staff who served us were very pleasant. The people at the neighboring table were both foreigners and Japanese, and we hit it off, chatting and having a fun dinner time.
After the meal, it was showtime. There were many dancers right in front of us! The fire dance was powerful and intense! We enjoyed the Hawaiian vibe with various hula dances performed by beautiful ladies. The live singing by two of the ladies was also very impressive. The live band played a wide range of songs, from popular tunes to Hawaiian music, which was very enjoyable.
There were also impersonators who came out, and I was truly amazed by their singing and dancing skills; I was surprised to think that the real person had appeared.
Celine's vocal ability was mesmerizing to listen to. It reminded me of Titanic.
Although I'm not from the Elvis generation, I recognized some of his songs and enjoyed them. "My Way" was full of mood. They came around to the first and second-floor audience seats.
Michael's dance moves and singing were so sharp that I thought he was the real deal! His moonwalk was incredible. Zombies also appeared from various places in the venue.
After the show, it was photo time. All the cast members happily took pictures with us, creating great memories.
Although we had a small child with us, he seemed to enjoy the hula dance the most and said he had a great time. We had a very meaningful experience. Thank you very much.
4歳の子連れで行きました。
VIPを予約しました。専用の部屋でカクテルを頂いたりフルーツを食べたりして待ちます。すると、マイケルが来て一緒に写真を撮ったりします。

I attended on Christmas Eve. Since I was a VIP, they prepared welcome drinks and some light snacks.
The lobster was delicious. At the table next to us, a foreign couple was cracking the shells with their teeth and eating every bit, which inspired my husband to do his best to eat as well. It was unfortunate that the claws had meat packed in them, but without any cuts, it was difficult to eat.
The steak was medium and tender, making it easy to eat, but I don't remember the taste.
After we finished eating, the show began. This was really fun. Elvis is from a different era, I'm not interested in Michael, and I only know one song by Celine Dion... but since my husband really wanted to go, I went along, and I actually enjoyed it a lot. I recommend it. It was fine even for us, who are not good at English. There were impersonations, hula, and fire performances. Hmm. I would like to participate again if I have the chance.
It's not a very large venue, so I think any seat would be close to the stage.
クリスマスイブに参加しました。VIPだったので、ウェルカムドリンクや簡単なつまみが用意してありりました。
ロブスターは美味しかったです。隣の席で外国のご夫婦が歯でバリバリ殻を割り、隅々まで召し上がる姿を参考に、主人は頑張って食べていました。ハサミの部分にも身が詰まっているのに、切り込みがないのが食べにくかったのが残念。
ステーキはミディアムで柔らかく食べやすかったですが、味は印象に残っていません。
食べ終わってからショーが始まります。これは本当に楽しかった。プレスリーは時代が違うし、マイケルは興味ないし、セリーヌディオンは1曲知っている程度…でも主人がどうしても行きたいというのでついていったのですが、、、そんな私が本当に楽しめました。オススメです。英語が苦手な私たちでもokでした。ものまね、フラ、ファイヤー。うーん。また機会があったら参加したいな。
そんなに大きな会場ではないので、恐らくどの席で観ても近いと思います。

I think it's probably one of the nicer spots in the ocean around Oahu. There were quite a few corals, the sandy areas were clean, and there were plenty of turtles, so I had a decent time. The food was good, considering it's America. The staff were friendly, which was nice. The singing uncle also added to the good atmosphere.
Ultimately, it all depends on the weather. Unfortunately, it was cold, and it rained the night before, making the water murky. I would recommend visiting during a time other than winter.
おそらくオアフ島の中の海の中でではきれいな方だと思う。サンゴもまあまああったし砂地は綺麗だし亀もたくさんいてそれなりには楽しめた。食事もアメリカだと思えば美味しいほう。スタッフも親切でよかった。歌のおじさんも雰囲気が良かった。
結局全てはお天気次第。残念ながら寒かったし前夜に雨が降って海は濁っていた。せっかくなら冬以外の時期をおすすめします。

I signed up for the movie location tour and the Secret Island tour. The morning movie location tour had unfortunate weather with occasional rain, but we were able to see beautiful scenery during the sunny intervals, and the guide's explanations were interesting, so I was very satisfied. By the afternoon, the rain had stopped, and I was excited for the 3-hour sunbathing session on Secret Island, but I encountered disappointing service. First, we were taken by bus from the visitor center to the Secret Island, and when we arrived at the dock, the driver left without saying anything, leaving us and about a dozen others to wait for 30 minutes until the boat from the opposite shore returned. When the boat finally arrived and we reached Secret Island, we were told that the return boat would leave at 2:00 PM. Since it was 12:00 PM when we got off the boat, we only had 2 hours. A white customer who was on the same boat also complained to the staff after waiting for 30 minutes and having only 2 hours of free time, but they told him to speak to the guide and did not take it seriously. In the end, the guide did not take the return bus either, and we had no chance to express our dissatisfaction. What could have been a fun trip turned out to be very disappointing due to this service.
映画ロケ地ツアーとシークレットアイランドツアーを申し込みました。午前中のロケ地ツアーは、時々雨の降るあいにくの天気でしたが、晴れ間には綺麗な景色も見る事ができ、ガイドの説明も面白く、とても満足でした。午後になると雨も止み、いよいよ3時間のシークレットアイランドでの日光浴に向けて期待が高まってきたところで、残念な対応をされてしまいました。先ず、ビジターセンターからシークレットアイランド行きのバスで送ってもらい、船着場に着いたのですが、ドライバーは何も言わず行ってしまい、残された私達十数人はそこで対岸の船が戻って来るまで30分も待ちぼうけ。ようやく迎えの船が来てシークレットアイランドに着くと、14:00に帰りの船が出るとの事。船を降りた時点で12:00だったので、2時間しか有りません。同じ船に乗った白人のお客も30分待たされた挙句、2時間しか自由時間が無いと係員にクレームしていましたが、ガイドに言ってくれと言って取り合いません。結局ガイドさんも帰りのバスには乗らず、不満を伝えるチャンスも有りませんでした。せっかくの楽しい旅行が、この対応で非常に不満の残る残念なものとなってしまいました。

What is awesome about Gunstock Ranch is that it is in a very secluded area. The trail is very peaceful and we rode through grassy clearings and lots of cattle. It was a very small and intimate group (myself, my friend and the instructor), which I really liked because on other trails I've been on it involved following a long trail of people on their horses. This time I felt more in control of my horse. The horses are very well trained and know how to follow each other. I've tried to get mine to trot, but since I was on a beginner's trail it wouldn't allow me to do it. Also, the instructor, Garrett (hopefully I spelled his name correctly), was very pleasant and helpful throughout the entire trail.
Mahalo Torie for taking the time to review your ride and include so many details. Our goal is to keep the rides small so people can enjoy the horses, guide and scenery better. We hope to see you again soon. Mahalo

I participated in the sandbar this time!
To put it simply, I was very moved!
Experiencing nature up close is truly beautiful!
Standing in the middle of the ocean was a very precious experience!
Just being on the beach is beautiful, but with the clear sea and the sparkling blue sky, standing in the middle of the ocean made both the sky and sea feel vast, and the clouds felt really close!
There was also a Japanese guide, and some people were so good at swimming that it gave me a sense of security.
The bus guide on the way was very cheerful and made us laugh, which was entertaining.
The Japanese female guide on the boat also made us laugh and took commemorative photos for us.
The bus guide sang "Last Christmas" while playing the guitar on the neighboring boat, and listening to the music while eating freshly made hamburgers in the middle of the vast ocean was the best!!
If there are extras, you can also get double burgers or refills.
We even got to see a sea turtle swimming by, and my husband really enjoyed snorkeling!
It’s said that you can see an astonishing number of fish and coral! I was so moved!! (I couldn’t do it because I’m not good with deep water, but I still had fun! The sandbar is shallow, so I could go in!)
I’m saying that I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii!
However, it gets cold on the boat after getting in the water, so a windbreaker would be good, and having a waterproof camera, even a simple one, might make it even more enjoyable!
If you’re hesitating, it might be a good idea to participate! There are things you won’t understand until you experience them.
今回サンドバーに参加させて頂きました!
結論から言うと、とても感動しました!
生で体感する大自然は本当に美しいんだなと思いました!
海のど真ん中に立つのはとても貴重な体験でした!
ただビーチに居るだけでも美しいのに、あの透明の海に、キラキラのブルーの空、海の真ん中に立つと空も海も広く、雲も本当に近く感じました!
そして、日本人のガイドさんも居て、とても同じ人間とは思えないほど泳ぎの上手い方もいて安心感もありました。
そして、行きのバスガイドさんもとても陽気で笑わせてくれて面白かったです。
船に乗ってからの日本人の女性ガイドさんも笑わせてくれ、記念写真も撮って頂きました。
バスガイドさんが、隣りの船でラストクリスマスなどを弾き語りで歌ってくれて、広い海の真ん中で焼き立てのハンバーガーを食べながら弾き語りを聞くのは最高でした!!
余っていれば、ダブルバーガーやおかわりをさせて貰える事も。
海亀のチラッと泳いでいる所も見れましたし、シュノーケリングも主人はとても楽しんでいました!
本当に驚く程お魚や珊瑚が見れるそうですよ!感動していました!!(私は深い所は苦手なので出来ませんでしたが、それでも楽しめました!サンドバーは浅いので入れました!)
またハワイに行ったら絶対参加したい!と言っている程です!
ただ海に入った後船の上が寒いのでウィンドブレーカーを、それと簡単な物でも防水カメラなどもあると、より楽しめるかもしれません!
迷っている方は参加してみると良いかもしれません!
体験してみないと分からない事はありますからね。

A traditional 10-day trip for two girls, meeting and parting at the same place. This time, we met in Honolulu and went to the Big Island, then returned to Honolulu.
"The Angel's Sea Sandbar!" The name itself is so feminine! We were able to see sea turtles popping their heads out and swimming several times from the boat. We walked on the transparent emerald green sandbar and snorkeled where the sea turned a dark green, swimming with the fish. The guide explained the safety instructions thoroughly, so we felt secure while snorkeling.
The guide and the captain were funny people, and we had a great time filled with laughter.

I participated in a tour for a wonderful mother-daughter memory during Christmas. Since I applied for the VIP plan, we had dinner at a table in front of the stage. At the reception, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so we were able to smoothly enter through the VIP entrance. As soon as we entered, a smiling staff member served us welcome drinks. After taking photos with the performers, we entered the venue for dinner time. The staff were very accommodating, and the amount of dinner was quite generous, leaving us both satisfied in our stomachs and spirits. After dinner, it was finally showtime. The hula dance, fire dance, and impersonation show all got the audience excited, and it was more thrilling than I expected. The impersonations of Elvis, Celine, and Michael featured famous songs, so even those who are not familiar with the originals could enjoy it. Since it was Christmas, they also sang special Christmas songs, allowing us to have a more wonderful Christmas than we anticipated.

I had a wonderful night where both my stomach and heart were 100% satisfied. First, I nibbled on fruits and cocktails before dinner, gradually building my anticipation. When I was seated right in front of the stage where the show would take place, I enjoyed a delicious dinner, including lobster, filled with excitement. The menu was sophisticated and well-suited to Japanese tastes.
Finally, the long-awaited show began. The beautiful and intricate hula dance performed by women, along with the intense male dances that used real fire, were captivating and kept my eyes glued to the stage! Under the theme of the fusion of rock and hula, the stage transformed continuously, with diverse songs, atmospheres, and costumes that never got boring. As the venue was filled with excitement, soon Elvis, Michael, and Celine made their appearances, and the show ended on a high note. I believe this is the best entertainment you can find in Waikiki.

Although it was drizzling and the water temperature was low, the staff were all cheerful and kind, which made me feel the essence of Hawaii! The sandbar had water up to my waist, but it wasn't a concern due to the seasonal conditions. In fact, I felt more connected to the strange sensation of being able to stand in such deep water. We also saw many sea turtles. The hamburger was simple but very delicious. One piece of advice: depending on the season, it can be cold after getting out of the water while still wet, so it's good to have a change of clothes and a bath towel. There are no changing rooms, so you change while wrapped in a bath towel. We brought a bath towel with a rubber loop at the top, which I think was a good choice. (Some people without a change of clothes looked like they were shivering and feeling unwell.) I would love to participate again on a sunny day!
小雨が舞い、水温も低くあまり良いコンディションではありませんでしたが、スタッフさんは皆元気よく優しくて、ハワイらしさを感じられました!サンドバーも、腰までつかる水位でしたが、季節の問題なので気にならず。むしろ、こんなに沖で、足がつく不思議な感覚をより実感できた気がします。ウミガメさんもたくさん見れました。ハンバーガーも、シンプルでとても美味しかったです。アドバイスがあるとすれば、季節によっては海から上がって濡れたままだと寒いので、着替えとバスタオルがあると良いです。更衣室はないので、バスタオルを巻いて着替える感じです。私たちは、上部がゴムで輪っかになったバスタオルを持参しました。正解だったと思います。(着替えがない方の中には震えて具合が悪そうな方もいました)
また晴天の際に参加したいです!

I participated in a tour to swim with dolphins for the first time in Hawaii. Despite it being early in the morning, they provided a proper wake-up call at the hotel, confirmed the pickup time and location, and explained that renting a wetsuit would incur an additional cost due to the low water temperature in winter, advising us to bring cash or a credit card for that purpose. This left a very good impression on me.
The bus that picked us up was not a van, but a proper large bus with a very clean interior, which reassured me before the tour even began. On the way to the harbor, they provided detailed explanations about the swimming techniques we needed to follow to meet wild dolphins, allowing us to participate in the tour without any anxiety.
Upon arriving at the harbor, we put on our wetsuits and boarded the boat, setting off to meet the wild dolphins! Onboard, there was a tour guide who spoke Japanese, a professional photographer, a lifeguard who was also a hula dancer, and the captain. Everyone was cheerful and entertained us by playing music and dancing, making the time on the boat enjoyable as we headed to the dolphin spot.
When the captain anchored the boat at the dolphin location, we finally got to swim with the wild dolphins! The crew guided us to where the dolphins were, and when we dove in, we were amazed to see dozens of dolphins swimming gracefully so close that we could almost reach out and touch them. It was my first time seeing wild dolphins up close, and I was truly moved!
After the dolphins swam away from where we were, we returned to the boat and headed to a spot for snorkeling! We had about 40 minutes of free time, and we could either snorkel or use the paddleboards and kayaks that the crew provided. My husband and I enjoyed snorkeling, and while watching tropical fish, we spotted a sea turtle that the crew had mentioned we might be lucky enough to see! The sea turtle swam gracefully close enough that we could almost reach out to it, which was incredible!
When we returned to the boat, the crew had grilled Hawaiian cheeseburgers waiting for us, and we enjoyed them while watching a hula dance performance. Surrounded by the beautiful nature of mountains and the sea, having met dolphins and sea turtles, and enjoying lunch while watching hula dancing on the boat made for a luxurious tour experience. I was very satisfied, and above all, the kind and cheerful staff made the tour even more enjoyable. It was truly a tour worth participating in! If you want to swim with dolphins when you visit Oahu, I highly recommend "Dolphin & You"!
今回ハワイで初めてイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。
早朝にも関わらず、ホテルにきちんとモーニングコールをしてきて下さり、ピックアップ時間や場所の最終確認、そして冬でかなり水温が低い事からウェットスーツをレンタルする場合にはお金が掛かるので、借りる場合はその分の現金もしくはクレジットカードを持参した方がいい旨なども事前に説明して下さったことからとても好印象を受けました。
迎えに来たバスはバンではなく、きちんとした大きなバスで内装もとても綺麗でツアーが始まる前から安心しました。
バスで港に向かうまでの間に野生のイルカに会う上で守らなければならない海の中での泳ぎ方等についても詳しく説明して下さり、不安なくツアーに参加できました。
港に着いて、ウェットスーツなどを着用してから船に乗り込みいよいよ野生のイルカに会いに出発!
船上には日本語ができるツアーガイド、プロのカメラマン、プロのライフセーバー兼フラダンサー、キャプテンがいたのですがとにかく皆さん陽気で私達を楽しませてくれる為に音楽を掛けてダンスをしたりしてくれたり、イルカに会えるスポットに行くまでの間退屈することなく船上で楽しい時間を過ごせました。
キャプテンがイルカがいるスポットに船を停泊させて、いよいよ野生のイルカと泳ぎに海へ!
クルーがイルカのいるところまで泳いで案内してくれて潜ってみると手を伸ばせば届くのでは⁉︎という近さで何十頭ものイルカが優雅に泳いでおり、人生で初めて野生のイルカを間近で肉眼で見る事ができ、ほんとに感動しました!
イルカの群れが私達がいた箇所を離れていってから船の上に戻り、次はシュノーケリングを楽しめるスポットへ!
こちらでは40分程の自由時間をもらえて、シュノーケリングをするもよし!
クルーの方がパドルボートとカヤックも用意してくれるのでこちらをやるもよし!
私と夫はシュノーケリングを楽しみ、熱帯魚を見ていたらクルーの方が「ラッキーだと海亀に会えるかも!」と言っていた海亀を発見!
海亀も手を伸ばせば届くのでは⁉︎というぐらい近くを優雅に泳いでくれて感動しました!
船上に帰るとクルーがハワイアンチーズバーガーをグリル機で焼いて待っていてくれて、フラダンサーの踊りを鑑賞しながらチーズバーガーを頬張りました。
周りを見れば大自然の山と海!
イルカや海亀にも会えて、船上でフラダンスを見ながらのランチ!贅沢なツアー内容に大満足ですし、何より親切で明るいスタッフの方々がツアーを更に盛り上げて下さり本当に参加した価値のあったツアーでした!
オアフ島に行った際にイルカと泳ぎたいなら『Dolphin&you』オススメです!

I am a 45-year-old man. Two years ago, I participated in a 90-minute scenic course here, but this time I brought my 1st-grade daughter and 5th-grade son, and we participated in a 60-minute scenic course as a family of four. We rented a car early in the morning and it took about an hour from our hotel in Waikiki. We encountered rain in December, but by the time we arrived at the ranch, the weather cleared beautifully.
A young woman at the reception became our contact person. Almost everything except for the contract was in English, but I think it’s manageable even if you don’t understand everything. A year ago, when my child rode a small horse in Cairns, a Japanese person on a working holiday helped pull the reins, but at Gunstock, even my 1st grader rode a proper horse by themselves. The guide led the way, followed by the two children and then the couple. The kids were quite nervous at first, but after about 15 minutes, they learned to kick the horse's belly, which made the horse move, and they looked happy.
The distance differs between the 90-minute and 60-minute rides, but I think the height of the hills we climbed was quite different. Since we had elementary school children with us, the 60 minutes was sufficient, and we could see the beautiful North Shore sea. Along the way, we saw horses and cows grazing. Walking with the horses was pleasant, and the scenery was lovely, creating a wonderful feeling. While riding, the guide shared various information about the ranch, but with my language skills, I only understood about half of it. Still, it was a good experience for our family. The guide was kind and accommodating to us. (By the way, this was my second time, and the staff were all young both times.)
If we can go again, I would like to do the 90-minute ride with my family. We have also ridden at another ranch on Oahu, but we prefer Gunstock. The reception is just a small hut, giving it a rustic and pastoral atmosphere like a Western movie ranch. There are turkeys, goats, and dogs wandering around, and as you go further in, there are many horses. All of them are large and impressive, exuding both gentleness and dignity. I’ve been there twice, and the staff were all young both times. It really feels like America.
45歳男性です。2年前にもここで90分のシーニックコースに参加しましたが、今回は小1女子と小5男子の子供を連れて、親子4人で60分シーニックコースに参加しました。朝1でレンタカーを借り、ワイキキのホテルから1時間くらいでしょうか、12月の雨に降られましたが、牧場に着くと見事に晴れ上がりました。
受付の若い女性がそのまま我が家の担当になりました。契約書以外はほぼ100%英語ですが、わからなくてもなんとかなると思います。1年前にケアンズで乗馬した時の子供の馬はかなり小型で、ワーホリの日本人が手綱を引っ張ってくれましたが、ガンストックでは小1でも本格的な馬に一人で乗ります。ガイドさんが先頭で、その後に子供二人、夫婦二人が続きました。子供は最初かなりビビってましたが、15分もするとお腹をキックすることにを覚え、それで馬が動いてくれるので、嬉しそうでした。90分と60分では距離も違いますが、登る丘の高さがかなり違ったと思います。小学生連れなので、それでも十分で、ノースショアの海が綺麗に見えますし、途中に、馬や牛が放牧されています。馬と散歩するのは、景色も良く、何ともいい気分です。乗馬しながら、牧場のことなど、ガイドさんが色々と教えてくれましたが、私の語学力では半分くらいしかわからず、でも、それも我が家にとっては良い経験です。ガイドさんもこんな我が家に優しく付き合ってくれました。(ちなみに、2回目ですが、いずれもスタッフは若い方ばかりでした。)もしまた行けるなら90分に家族で行きたいですね。
オアフでは、他の某牧場でも乗馬したことがありますが、私達はガンストックが好きです。受付といっても小屋が一つあるだけで、西部劇の牧場のような、素朴で牧歌的な雰囲気です。あたりには、七面鳥やヤギ、犬が歩き回っていて、奥に進むと馬がたくさんいます。どれも立派な大きな馬で優しくも威厳を感じますね。2回行きましたが、いずれもスタッフは若い方ばかりでした。アメリカって感じです。

I participated because the low tide at the sandbar matched my travel schedule. The water depth was about calf-deep, which I thought was great. After walking on the sandbar and taking photos, those who wanted to went snorkeling. Unlike snorkeling in areas close to the shore, it was a bit of a unique experience.
サンドバーの干潮時期と旅行日程が合ったので参加しました。
水深は、ふくらはぎ程度でしたので良かったと思います。
サンドバーの上を歩いて写真撮影等をした後で、希望者のみシュノーケリングをしました。
岸に近い場所でのシュノーケリングとは違い、ちょっと変わった体験ができました。

I participated with my mother, who is in her 60s and cannot swim. She was worried about whether it would be okay since she can't swim, but as long as you don't snorkel, it's not a problem at all. You can wait on the boat or play in shallow areas. However, when getting off the boat, it is quite deep, so I think it might be surprising at first. After that, it's shallow, so as long as you pay attention when getting off, I don't think there will be any issues.
Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and rainy, which was disappointing, but the cruise staff were very nice. When you see a turtle, they will point out the direction, saying something like "Turtle at 3 o'clock!" I would like to try again on a sunny day.
泳げない60代の母親と2人で参加しました。泳げないので大丈夫か母親が心配していましたが、シュノーケルをしなければ、全然問題ないです。船で待つこともできますし、浅いところで遊ぶこともできます。ただ、船から降りるときはとても深いので、最初びっくりすると思います。その先は浅いので、降りるときだけ注意していれば問題ないと思います。
お天気があいにく曇りと雨で残念でしたが、クルーズのスタッフの方もとてもいいかたでした。亀が見えると、かめー3時とか亀がいる方向を教えてくれますよ♪お天気がいいときに再チャレンジしたいです。

This was my third visit, two days after running the Honolulu Marathon. We ordered a bottle of wine and enjoyed a course meal. The food was very delicious, and the portion sizes were just right for us as a couple in our 60s! It was a bit disappointing that there were no staff members who spoke Japanese.

My wife and I went to this adventure hoping to have a great time and see some fish here and there while snorkeling but these guys got us a great tour and we saw a ton of fish near the coral reef where they took us. The staff is super friendly and fun plus. The food was right on point and we loved they even gave us some hot chocolate after the swim to warm us up a bit.
Jenner and the captain are super friendly, I would love to go back and see them again when I go back to Hawaii.

My wife has been attending a hula dance class for several years, and to experience authentic hula dancing, we decided to return to Hawaii, where we had our honeymoon, to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal. A year ago, during our stay in Hawaii, we utilized Velta's services, which made it convenient to change reservations on-site, so I booked this tour with a three-star rating domestically.
Thanks to the tour sticker on my chest at the meeting point, several crew members congratulated us as we boarded. We had a window-side table for two on the second floor (below the upper level of the five-star) with a great view, and the food was good.
During the meal, we were called and escorted to the third floor (the top floor) via the elevator, where the front of the ship served as the venue. (When we took photos with the captain during our honeymoon, it was on the outer deck, but it might have been this location due to the strong winds and occasional rain that day.) It felt a bit cramped, but the captain came to our table, which was decorated with beautiful flowers, and we made our vow renewal promises while signing a certificate in the captain's presence. I couldn't fully understand the captain's comments since they were all in English, but I managed to respond with "Yes" whenever he looked my way. However, the floor manager, who spoke broken Japanese, explained the flow of the ceremony, and we were able to take videos and photos with our own camera during the ceremony. After that, the champagne included with the tour was served, and we toasted with the captain (who mentioned that his glass contained apple juice while on board).
After the ceremony, when I mentioned that we had also boarded the Star of Honolulu for our honeymoon 20 years ago, the three people present (the captain, the floor manager, and a black-clad attendant) exclaimed "Amazing." The captain was particularly delighted, saying, "I've been the captain of this ship for 30 years, so I probably was on board 20 years ago." The black-clad attendant kept repeating "Amazing" as we returned to our table, which made our happy moment feel even more special.
We returned to our table, continued our meal while drinking champagne, and enjoyed another highlight: the beautiful Friday fireworks, which made for an unforgettable time.
After 20 years of marriage, life has been different from our newlywed days, often moving away from words like "love," but I feel that this vow renewal allowed us to remember our "beginning" as a couple. We are considering participating in this tour for our 25th and 30th anniversaries as well.
Thank you for a wonderful time.
妻がフラダンス教室に数年通い本場でフラダンスを体験するため、また、結婚20周年を迎え、バウリニューアルのために新婚旅行で訪れた同じハワイに行いきました。1年前、ハワイ滞在時にVeltaさんを活用させていただき、予約変更等も現地で行えて便利だったので、国内で本ツアーの3スターを予約しました。
集合場所でツアーを示すシールを胸に貼ったおかげで、乗船時に『Congratulations』と数名のクルーから声をかけていただきました。席は2F?(5スターの上層階の下)の窓際の二人席でとても景色が良く、料理もGoodでした。
料理の途中で呼ばれてエスコートされてエレベーターで3F(最上階)に向かい、エレベーターを降りた船の最前面の場所が会場となります。(新婚旅行の時の船長さんとの記念撮影は、外の船主の甲板デッキでしたが、この日は風が強く、時折雨も降ったので、この場所だっだのかもしれません。)少し狭い感じはしますが、きれいな花等で飾られたテーブルの前に船長さんが来ていただき、バウリニューアルの誓いや船長さん立ち合いの証明書サインをして頂きました。船長さんのコメントは全て英語のために十分に理解はできませんでしたが、船長さんが視線を向けるたびに『Yes』と言ってごまかしました。ただ、サポートいただいたフロアーマネージャー??の方が片言の日本語で流れを説明していただき、加えて式の間は私たち持参のカメラでビデオ&写真を撮っていただけました。その後このツアーに付いているシャンペンがここで登場し、船長と一緒に乾杯しました。(船長さんのグラスは乗船中のためアップルジュースと言っていました。)
式の後、20年前の新婚旅行でもスターオブホノルルに乗船した事を伝えると、立ち会っていただいた3名(船長さん、フロアーマネージャー?黒服のアテンダー)から『Amazing』と言われ、特に船長さんは『30年前から本船のキャプテンをしているので、20年前も多分私が乗船したいた』ととても喜んでくれ、加えてテーブルに戻る間も黒服のアテンダーの方も『Amazing』を連発され、私たちの幸せな時間が更に倍増した感覚でした。
テーブルに戻ってシャンペンを飲みながら食事を続け、もう一つの楽しみも『金曜日の花火』もとてもきれいで、忘れられない時間をいただけた感じです。
結婚20年もたてば新婚生活と違って『愛』のような言葉から離れた生活でしたが、今回のバウリニューアルで夫婦お互いに少なからず『初心』を思い出す事が出来たと感じています。
25、30周年記念も、このツアーに参加させていただきたいと考えています。
素晴らしい時間をありがとうございます。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are truly delighted that you chose to use our services for your vow renewal. It's amazing to hear that you also used our services for your honeymoon 20 years ago! We are very honored. We are thrilled that the Star of Honolulu has become a part of your love story!
