I definitely want to ride again when I come to Hawaii. The scenery, with mountains and the ocean, allowed me to fully enjoy nature. I truly made the best memories in Hawaii.

またハワイに来たら絶対乗りたいです。
景色も山と海があり、大自然満喫できました。
本当にハワイ１最高の思い出ができました。

Considering the transportation, costs, and time spent in Hawaii, I honestly hesitated before making the reservation. However, my experience was truly amazing, and I was able to enjoy a luxurious time in Hawaii! The scenery and interaction with the horses were unique, and I felt genuinely healed while riding and feeling the warmth of the horses (*^^*).

We debated on transportation, but we decided to rent a car. We were able to stop by shops in Haleiwa and enjoy garlic shrimp from a food truck (it was emotional to have it again after 15 years!) and also visited the Dole Plantation, making for a very fulfilling day that included horseback riding. The instructor spoke entirely in English, but explained things clearly with gestures. The horses were very well-behaved, and we enjoyed a relaxed ride while only lightly holding the reins (^^).

The entrance by car was a bit tricky to find, but once you see the arena, slow down a bit, and you'll find the gate. After entering through the first large gate, you'll soon see the horses. We changed into shoes in the car (my husband wore sneakers, while my daughter and I wore compact flat shoes with belts to avoid bulky luggage) and prepared by signing in and borrowing helmets and storage for our belongings. The storage was a pocket-style that could be placed on the horse's back, fitting a phone, camera, and even a small water bottle. We also got to take photos by the beach, which made for wonderful memories! (The instructor called out at just the right moments.)

We wore long pants, but there was no worry about getting dirty while riding, so we could go shopping afterward. (Since there was a bit of sand blowing, it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes if you're concerned.) The daytime was fantastic, but I imagine the sunset would offer even more beautiful scenery, so I hope to experience it again!

The theme of this trip was to experience things that can only be done in Hawaii, and this horseback riding experience was perfect for that, creating the best memories for our family! Thank you so much to the wonderful instructor and the adorable horses ( ´ ▽ ` ) mahalo!

現地までの移動やお値段、ハワイでの滞在時間を考えた際、申し込みまで正直悩みました。しかし実際体験できての感想は、本当に贅沢なハワイ時間を過ごすことができて最高でした！！まさしくここでしか経験できない景色とお馬達との触れ合い、乗せてもらってお馬さんの温もりを感じながら本当に癒されました(*^^*)

移動手段で悩みましたが私達はレンタカーで向かい、ハレイワのお店やワゴンのガーリックシュリンプ(15年振りに食べれてそれも感動でした！)やドールプランテーションにも立ち寄れたので乗馬を含めとても充実した1日になりました。
先生はオール英語ではありますが、ジェスチャーなども交えながら分かりやすく説明してくれます。先生についていく感じで本当にお利口なお馬さん達でこちらは手綱を軽く持つ程度でゆったり乗馬を楽しめました(^^)
車での入り口が少し分かりづらいですが競技場がみえてきたら少しゆっくり走行していくとゲートがあり1つ目の大きなゲートの次のところを入っていくとすぐお馬達がみえる感じです。車で靴をシューズ(主人はスニーカー、私と娘は荷物がかさばらないよう少しコンパクトになるベルト付きのフラットシューズ)に履き替え、乗る前にサイン、ヘルメットと荷物入れを借りて準備します。荷物入れはお馬さんの背中に置かせてもらえるポケット式のもので携帯やカメラ、小さいものであれば水筒も入るサイズです。途中浜辺のところで写真も撮ってもらえて最高の記念になりました！！(程よいタイミングで先生が声を掛けてくれます)
服装は長ズボンになりますが乗った際に汚れてしまうようなことはなくそのまま買い物などできました。(若干砂が舞うので気になる方は着替えを持参されるといいかもです)
日中も最高でしたがサンセットの時間はさらにいい風景なのだろうと思うので、また体験できたらと思いました！

ハワイでしか体験できないことをが今回の旅行のテーマだったので、こちらでの乗馬体験はまさしくそれにぴったりで、家族の最高の思い出になりました！！
素敵な先生、そして可愛いお馬さん達、本当にありがとうございました( ´ ▽ ` )mahalo！

It was good. My luggage was minimal, but not too minimal, which was fine. I could fit a suitable bag under the seat on the boat. I didn't bring any money to reduce my luggage, but I needed cash for tips.

よかったです。荷物は最小限ですが、最小過ぎなくていいです。適当な鞄を船の座席の下に入れられます。荷物減らすためにお金も持って行かなかったけどチップのために現金は必要でした。

My fiance and I had an absolutely phenomenal time going out to the sandbar. We did the banana boat and that was an absolute blast. We then did the SUP, and while I was horrible at that, the hosts were very helpful in teaching me how to do it. Next time I come to Oahu, I am absolutely going to book this experience again.

You can enjoy the breathtaking views of Kualoa while riding a horse.

The horse knows the route well, so you basically don’t have to do much to keep moving forward.

The local staff provides explanations, but I couldn’t understand what they were saying in English; however, during that time, you can enjoy the stunning scenery.

The views had a power that photos just can't capture.

You can also have photos taken, so I was satisfied.

クアロアの絶景を馬に乗りながら楽しめます

馬がルートをほとんど把握してるので基本的に何もしなくても進んでくれます

現地スタッフが解説してくれてますが英語で何言ってるか分かりませんが、その間に絶景を楽しめます

景色は写真では伝わりきらない迫力がありました

写真も撮ってもらえるので満足です

I experienced the 150m jump.

I think it's a cost-effective tour since you can experience it and return in about an hour, making good use of your valuable time on-site.

The time in the air seems short, and there's a bit of fear, so I found it just right.

From above, you can see Diamond Head, the beach, and the cityscape all at once, so I highly recommend it.

150mを体験しました

１時間ほどで体験し帰って来れるので貴重な現地時間の中ではコスパの良いツアーだと思いました

上空の時間は短いようで、多少の怖さもあるので丁度良いと思いました

上空からダイヤモンドヘッドからビーチ、街並みまで一望できるのでオススメです

Excellent customer service + a great band + lots of equipment (snorkel, kayak, SUP, life jackets) + good food = a fantastic time!

I was satisfied to be able to ride a horse alone for two hours. There were times when I felt rushed because the instructions were only in English, but the horse was smart, so I didn't have any problems, haha. The scenery was beautiful!

1人で馬に2時間乗ることができ満足です。
指示が英語のみで焦る時もありますが、馬がお利口なので困ることはありませんでした笑
景色が素敵でした！

I had a great time experiencing three different activities all at once! The explanations were provided in simple Japanese, which was helpful! Although it's an option, the photos and videos taken during the activities became wonderful memories!

いっぺんに3種類を体験できて楽しかったです！
説明は簡単な日本語でしていただきました！
オプションにはなりますが、アクティビティ中の写真＆動画を素敵な思い出になりました！

I don't speak Japanese, but that's totally fine! (They can communicate in broken Japanese.) The instructor was super fun and enjoyable! It said to carry as little luggage as possible, but you can fit one bag under the seat on the boat, so it's okay. When I went, there were three groups, so even when it wasn't our turn, we were on the boat the whole time, so it's better to bring water to stay hydrated! (They were selling small bottles of water at the reception.) It seems there are options for two or three people, so even with three, you don't have to worry about someone being left out. I also requested the photo service, and if you have an iPhone, they give you the data right there, and you can also get it on an SD card. You can see Diamond Head from the sea, so if you're in Hawaii, you definitely should do this!

日本語通じないけど、全然大丈夫！
(カタコトの日本語では喋ってくれます)
インストラクター？のおじさんめちゃめちゃ愉快で楽しかったです！
荷物はなるべく持たないで…って書いてあったけど、鞄1つくらいなら船の椅子の下にしまえるので大丈夫です。
私の時は3組同じだったので、自分たちの番じゃない時もずっと船に乗っているので水分も忘れず持って行った方がいいです！(受付でも小さいボトルのお水売ってました)
2人用と3人用があるみたいで、3人とかでも1人溢れる心配とか要らないです。
写真サービスもお願いしましたが、iPhoneだとその場でデータくれますし、SDカードでも貰えました。
海からダイヤモンドヘッドまで一望できるので、せっかくハワイに来たならぜひやってほしいです！

The water was murky and visibility was not very good, which was disappointing. Since we departed in the early afternoon, it might have been murky because of that. If we had gone in the early morning, the sea might have been calm and clear, allowing for better visibility. However, I was able to experience the thrill of navigating through the 30-meter deep sea.

海の中は濁っておりあまり良く見えず期待以下でした。午後一番での出発だったので濁っていたのかも知れません。朝一番だったら海は穏やかで透明でもう少し良く見えたのかも知れません。水深30メートルの海の中を航行しているというドキドキ感を味わうことができました。

My sisters and I had an amazing adventure. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. All the staff members were fantastic from beginning to ending. There were bathrooms available on board and our belongs were kept with care as if it was their own. We would do this again with KBOS. This is one activity that cannot be missed.

First, the pickup was confusing and chaotic.
Finally, the shuttle arrived, and we headed to the location, but the air conditioning was too cold.
We boarded the boat and went out to sea; the ocean was indeed beautiful, but the water temperature was low, making it difficult to stay in for long. Moreover, while they provided goggles, there were no fins available, and we couldn't go to areas with coral, so we couldn't see any fish.
Given the strong yen and inflation, it was disappointing that it didn't feel worth the high cost.

まず送迎がわかりづらく混乱。
やっと送迎が来て、現地へ向かったがクーラーが効いてて寒い。
船に乗船して沖に行き、確かに海綺麗なんだけど、海水温が低くて長時間入ってられない。しかもゴーグルは貸してくれるけど足ヒレがなく、サンゴのある所へ行くのはNGのため魚も見れない。
円高＆インフレで高い割に感動がなく残念でした。

It was a windy day, so I was worried about whether it would happen, but it went ahead and I was super excited. The time flew by while I was in the air. The staff were great, and it was a wonderful experience.

風の強い日だったので出来るか不安でしたが、決行されてテンションマックスに。
飛んでいる間はあっという間でした。
お兄さん達の雰囲気も良く素敵な時間でした。

Masks, goggles, and helmets were provided for free.

A driver's license is required for the person driving.

I forgot my license, and the staff member drove for me, but it was better to have them drive because they explained various things and pointed out different spots (all in English).

マスク、ゴーグル、ヘルメットは無料で貸してもらえた。

運転する人は、運転免許証は必須。

免許証忘れて、スタッフの人が運転してくれたが、自分で運転するよりも、運転してもらった方が、色々と説明・各スポットを教えてくれて良かった(全て英語だが)。

Horseback riding in the great nature of Hawaii became the best memory! The instructor was very kind and even took photos for us. I was very satisfied! I want to go again!!!

ハワイの大自然の中での乗馬は最高の思い出になりました！
インストラクターの方がとても親切に話しかけてくださり、また写真も撮ってくださいました。
大満足でした！また行きたいです！！！

The crew was amazing. We loved the music performance inside the boat. The view is spectacular and we really enjoyed the activities. We did SUP, kayaking and snorkeling. Also, we had time to relax in the floating lounge and water. We would do this activity again for sure!

I chose the 150m plan.
We went up into the sky all at once, and when I noticed, the ship was quite far below.
It went higher than I imagined, and it was fun.

It's a place you can walk to from Waikiki, and it opens at 8 AM, so I was able to make good use of my time.
I highly recommend it.

150mのプランにしました。
一気に上空に行き、気付くと、船がかなり下～～のほうに。
想像以上に高くまで上がり、楽しかったです。

ワイキキから歩いていける場所で、朝8時からやっているので、
時間を有効に使うことができました。
おススメです。

Tour guides where awesome and the views and scenery where beautiful. However we where disappointed that there wasn’t a lot of more Jurassic park props and scenery. Also didn’t like that we had to wait 3 hours after the tour to head back .

Duration:
Including travel time, you can enjoy about 90 minutes of fishing at a beautiful offshore point overlooking Diamond Head, which takes approximately 3 hours to reach! It was just the right length—not too long, not too short.

Catch:
My wife and I tried fishing together, and we caught four large butterflyfish, close to 30 centimeters, with strong pulls! Unlike the butterflyfish in Japan, these were colorful with pink tails and made a "boo boo" sound. Some people didn’t catch anything at all, but it’s necessary to tweak your fishing technique a bit. The bait is squid, but it’s cut quite roughly, so I recommend tearing it into smaller pieces to use.

Staff Response:
The staff provided thorough instructions on how to handle the fishing rods. They quickly addressed issues like tangled lines with neighboring guests and helped remove caught fish from the hooks. When my wife got seasick, they were always attentive and offered her ginger candy.

Wonderful Service:
You can bring your own food and drinks, including alcohol. Water and light juice are available for free from tanks on board. The caught fish are immediately prepared for you. By the time we returned to port, we all enjoyed the butterflyfish sautéed with delicious seasonings in a large frying pan. As a side note, my wife had recovered from her seasickness by then and was even asking for seconds. (laughs)

所要時間：
およそ3時間でダイヤモンドヘッドを望む美しい沖合いポイントまで移動時間を含めると実質90分ほど船釣りを楽しめます！長過ぎず、短すぎず、程良かったです。
釣果：
妻と二人でトライしましたが引きが強くて30センチ近くの大きなカワハギが4匹釣れました！
日本のカワハギと異なり、カラフルでピンクの尾をしていて、ブーブーと鳴いておりました。
中には全く釣れない人たちもいましたが、釣り方を少し工夫する必要があります。餌はイカですがかなりざっくりカットされているので、少し小さくちぎって、つけるのがお勧めです。
スタッフ対応：
丁寧に釣り竿の扱い方などをレクチャー頂けます。また隣の客と糸が絡まったり、釣れた魚を針から外したりする際に迅速に対応してくださります。妻が船酔いでダウンした際は常に気をかけて下さり、ジンジャーの飴を渡してくれました。
素敵なサービス：
アルコールを含む飲食物を持ち込めます。
船内に水、薄いジュースがタンクから無料で頂けます。釣れた魚は直ぐに捌いて頂けます。帰港までには大きなフライパンで香ばしい調味料と一緒に炒められたカワハギを乗員全員で美味しく頂きました。蛇足ですが、妻はこの頃には船酔いから回復しており、おかわりしてました。笑

My sister really wanted to do this activity, but her husband reluctantly participated. However, he came back with a satisfied look, saying he had a great time.

姉が、絶対やりたかったアクティビティで、ご主人はイヤイヤの参加でした。しかし、とても楽しかったと満足顔で戻って来ました。

Loved the sandbar and have never experienced anything like it. The entire journey, from the ukulele singers on the boat ride to the actual sandbar was very fun. The actual sandbar is like a floating lounge in the middle of the ocean with plenty of paddle boards, snorkel gear and kayaks. We purchased the banana boat and tubing experience, both which were very fun and faster than we thought! Overall a very fun morning in Hawaii.

Food was delicious, the views where beautiful. Ryan the waiter was great and the entertainment was great also . Just disappointed that we missed the sunset because dinner was served late.

Everyone participating was Japanese, so I felt at ease. I participated with my partner horse, Shea, who was so cute. ❤️❤️ Sometimes she would trot a bit, but she listened well and was absolutely adorable. It was the best experience! The guide also spoke to us in broken Japanese, which was fun. The shuttle bus was cold on the way there but hot on the way back. I want to go again!!!!!!!

参加者みんな日本人だから安心馬人間６人で参戦
相棒の馬のシェイが可愛いかった。❤️❤️
時々小走りするけど、ちゃーんと言うこと聞いてくれ、可愛いかった最高でした
ガイドさんもカタコト日本語で話しかけてくれて楽しかった
送迎のバスは行きは寒かったけど帰りは暑かった
また行きたい！！！！！！！

Mr. McCartney, who was very friendly, entertained us greatly. Watching the stars through a high-performance telescope while receiving a lecture was more romantic and mysterious than I had imagined. I was very moved.

The rings of Saturn were clearly visible and looked so cute. The moon was so large that it couldn't fit in the telescope, and the craters were clearly visible, which was very surprising. I was amazed to see so many stars in the Milky Way that I didn't realize were there. I was able to see many stars that are not visible to the naked eye!

The next day, I was able to slowly enjoy the Hawaiian night sky with my child, recalling what I learned during the stargazing event.

I received photos of the stars captured through the telescope via email. It became a wonderful memory.

気さくなマッカートニーさんがとても楽しませてくれました。レクチャーをうけながら高性能望遠鏡で星を眺めるのは想像以上にロマンチックで神秘的。とても感動しました。

土星のリングもくっきり見えてとてもかわいいかったです。月も望遠鏡に収まりきらないほど大きくクレーターもはっきり映っていてとても驚きました。
ミルキーウェイもこんなにたくさん星が集まっているのかとびっくりしました。肉眼では見えない星たちもたくさん見ることができました！

翌日からは星空鑑賞会で教えてもらった事を思い出しながらハワイの夜空を子供とゆっくり楽しめました。

望遠鏡に写った星の写真をメールで送ってもらいました。とてもいい思い出になりました。

Thanks to Susumu's witty guidance, I was able to participate in a fun and safe manner. It's also appreciated that the roads have been improved compared to a few years ago. The water volume at Manua Falls was low, which was disappointing, but the view from Tantalus Lookout was breathtaking. I also enjoyed a delicious acai bowl for lunch. By adding an event that allows for interaction with nature, it became a memorable trip, not just a city walk. However, it's important to be prepared as weather can have an impact.

ススムさんの軽妙なガイドで、楽しくかつ安全に参加出来た。数年前と比べ道が整備されていることも有難い。マヌア滝は水量が少なく残念だったが、タンタラス丘からの眺めは圧巻。昼食のアサイーボウルも美味しくいただいた。街歩きだけでなく、自然と触れるイベントを加えたことで、思い出に残る旅となった。ただ、天候に影響されることがあるので、準備しておくことが必要。

Just an FYI, wear hiking clothes or clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. And if your clothes end up dirty, trust the memories are soo worth it. Paulo and Leighton were great!

This was the cherry on top to our visit. The whole staff was welcoming and very helpful. Next time we come to Waikiki, we will definitely be booking again.

Two Japanese women in their 30s (English: both at a conversational level) went on this tour! We started at 9 AM and encountered a total of six sharks! It was so much fun!! The staff were cheerful and energetic from the morning! Great smiles! They were kind! One of them spoke Japanese very well and explained everything in Japanese, which made us feel at ease.

I hope the following information is helpful:
▶ We took an Uber taxi to the designated location in the North Shore (it was about $60 from Waikiki).
* I think other participants also took a taxi.
* There is a bus that goes from Ala Moana Center, platform 52, to the North Shore, so you can also take the bus (it costs $3 and takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes).
▶ The waves are big and strong, so it's better to take motion sickness medication◎
▶ Once you arrive at the shark point, there will be guidance to get into the cage right away, so make sure to put on your snorkel gear beforehand!

30代日本人女性２人（英語：お互い日常会話レベル）でいってきました！
朝9時スタートのツアー参加で、計6匹のサメに出会えました〜〜〜！とっても楽しかったです！！
スタッフの方々は明るくて朝から元気！いい笑顔！優しい！１人の方は日本語がとってもお上手で、説明も日本語でしてくれたので安心して挑めました。

以下、参考になれば嬉しいです。
▶ノースショアの指定場所までUberタクシー（ワイキキから約60$くらいだった）で向かいました。
※他の参加者の方もタクシーだった気がします。
※アラモアナセンター発52番乗り場〜ノースショアまでバスが出ているのでバスでも行けます（3$、1時間30分）
▶波が大きくて強いので、酔い止めを飲んだほうがよいです◎
▶サメのいるポイントについたらすぐにケージに入るよう案内があるので、シュノーケル装着等はしておきましょう！

My husband and I did the ATV 2 hour ride / tour and it was amazing! It was so much fun to ride in the ATV and the views are incredible! It’s definitely a must when you come to O’ahu. You do get very dirty, so make sure you were clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Our guides, Dani and Laura, were awesome. I love that they not only told us about all the filming locations and but they taught us things about the Hawaiian culture and the meaning of things. It was such a cool experience and it made me fall in love with the culture even more.
