The horseback riding experience along the beach was very pleasant, and the horses were calm, so I felt safe riding them.

We participated as a couple, and there were five other participants along with two guides. One led the way while the other checked on everyone’s situation and provided support, which was reassuring.

They also take photos at the beach, making for great memories. This is a tour I would like to join again the next time I visit Hawaii.

After horseback riding, you can enjoy a leisurely lunch in Haleiwa and explore the shops, so I highly recommend it.

Everything was quick and easy. The staff was great and the experience was awesome. I look forward to coming back in time.

We did the movie set Bus tour with our 2 grandkids (7 and 4 yo).
It’s 90 minutes but could easily be done in 60.
The ranch scenery is beautiful but the actual ‘sets’ were less than impressive.
Overall I would not recommend this tour. Not worth the $200.

It was explained in English, and I was able to experience it without any issues. The people were very friendly, and I made some great memories! However, if you are prone to motion sickness, it's definitely a good idea to take some anti-nausea medication. Not only on the boat, but also while parasailing, it can sway due to the wind.

英語での説明でしたが、問題なく体験することができました。
とてもフレンドリーな方たちでとてもいい思い出が出来ました！
ただ、酔いやすい方は必ず酔い止めを飲んでいった方がいいです。船の上だけでなく、パラセーリングしている最近も風などで揺れたりするので

I went horseback riding for two hours!

Riding a horse while surrounded by the beautiful sea on my right and the natural mountains that served as the backdrop for Jurassic World on my left was an experience that you can't have in Japan.

- At first, both my friend and I were scared because the horse was much larger than we imagined, but after about 20 minutes, we grew attached.

- There was a low-rated comment mentioning that the return time was set for 5:00 PM, but I think that's the person's responsibility. In the reservation details, you can choose your preferred departure and return times, and if you respond with something like "anytime is fine," the organizers might prioritize their own schedule. If you want to return at 1:00 PM, just state that, and there won't be any issues.

- The staff who guide you at first can speak Japanese, so there's no need to worry.

- The horseback riding staff only speak English.

- Depending on the horse's personality, some horses can be difficult to control, so it’s a bit of luck. However, it’s enjoyable. My horse dislikes being pulled when told to stop. The horse in front of me often stops suddenly for some reason. My friend's horse is too laid-back and tends to lag behind during the tour, stopping to urinate and defecate three times each.

2時間の乗馬をしました！

右手は、綺麗な海、左手はジュラシックワールドの舞台となった大自然の山々を巡りながら馬を乗るのは日本だとまず味わえない体験になりました。

・最初は、馬が想像以上に大きいので彼女も私も怖かったですが20分もすれば、愛着湧きます。

・低評価コメで、帰りの時間が17:00になった！と記載した方もおりますが、それはその人の責任かと。事前の予約の文面に、行き帰りの希望時間を選択でき、そこの選択欄でどちらでも良い！みたいな回答をすると、主催者側の都合で、後回しにされるので、帰りが13:00希望なら13:00と記載すれば何ら問題ありません。

・日本語が話せるスタッフが最初ガイドするので、不安もいりません。

・乗馬のスタッフは、英語オンリーだそうです

・馬の性格によりきりで、馬のコントロールが難しい馬がいますので、そこは運次第。でも、楽しめます。○私の馬は止まれで引っ張られるのが嫌い。　○私の前の馬は、なぜか急に止まることが多い　○彼女の馬はマイペースすぎて、ツアー中、オシッコとうんちを3回ずつ、行い列から遅れがち　など

It was a great job by the captain and crew. The woman at the reception was also very pleasant. I will be back in May next year, so I look forward to it.

船長と乗組員の息の合ったグッジョブでした。
受付の女性も感じの良い方でした。
また来年５月に参りますので宜しくお願いしますね。

Superb could not fault any of the crew. Nor part of any of the cruise!! Saw three turtles and an abundance of fish. The water was superb and wish we could go again. Drinks were excellent and so was their price. Customer service is 10/10. Would book again if we could. Chris and his crew were amazing

We loved this luau!!! From the start to the finish, it was well planned, fun and engaging. We loved the MC, the food, the dancing the activities, everything. We will highly recommend it!!! Thank you for the real leis and for being bold to say a prayer to Almighty God before the meal. Thank you for putting on a great show!

This was well worth it!! The staff is excellent from the time you check in to the 3 guides that are with you zip lining to check out if you decide to get the pictures! We were with a great group of people and that made it more fun as you can get to know everyone in your group as it takes about 3 hrs to complete and there is time between each zip line. This was the best thing we did of all the activities myself and 2 kids (ages 15 and 18) did for the 6 days we were here! Highly recommend doing this if you want to zip line. Another thing that is regally nice is if you are staying in Waikīkī you get to drive to the other side of the island and if you have a rental car you get to see other parts of the island that are not full of tourist.

They send you the QR code needed and make sure they know you need it!

The guide was really awesome of the knowledge of the rainforest!

The submarine was really fun! The window views were a bitf oggy the day we went, but to be underwater was cool all around.

Fun to get to see so many different sides to Kualoa Ranch, and with rides to from Waikiki it made the day a piece of cake!

My family really enjoyed this tour, we are big movie people so to see the ranch where so many took place was awesome, and the guides are on point with their knowledge!

Every time I visit Northshore, it's always lively, but this time it was particularly vibrant. There were more Americans than Japanese, which was overwhelming. There are plenty of restrooms in the Haleiwa area, which is reassuring. I wished we could have driven to Turtle Bay... it's a bit of a regret. I found a limited edition Patagonia shirt with a Haleiwa logo and ended up buying a lot. The driver was kind, skilled at driving, and a great person. I would like to request them again. Highly recommended!

毎回、Northshoreは訪れるのですが、今回はとても活気がありました。日本人よりアメリカ人ばかりで
圧倒されました。お手洗いもハレイワエリアには
沢山あって、安心です。
タートルベイまで車で行って欲しかったのが…
ココロ残りですが。
ハレイワ限定のロゴのPatagoniaシャツがあり
爆買いしました。
ドライバーさんも優しく、運転もお上手で良い方でした。また、お願いしたいです。おススメです。

My family thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The MC was fantastic and funny. The flower and anniversary leis were a wonderful touch. The activities were fun. The show was very entertaining, impressive, and the food was good too! The waterfall and hike were fun before too. Thank you for a fantastic day and evening! Mahalo!

I participated alone, and this tour is definitely worth joining. It's about a 2-hour tour, but you can see a variety of fish and turtles up close through the glass, and the time passes so quickly because the content is so rich. From the dock, you board a boat and then switch to a submarine in the middle of the sea, which was an exciting experience climbing in and out of the submarine via a ladder. I had prepared a Japanese audio guide in advance, but I was too busy observing the mysterious underwater scenery in front of me to listen. Many participants were families, and the children were delighted. You can have a great time even if you participate alone.

ひとりで参加しました　このツアーは参加する価値大です　約2時間のツアーですが多品種の魚や亀をガラス越しまじかで見ることができ時間はあっという間に過ぎてしまうくらい内容が濃いツアーです　船着き場から船に乗り途中の海上で船から潜水艦に乗り換え潜水艦内に梯子で出入りする体験もわくわく感があって楽しかったです　録音する日本語ガイドも事前に用意しておきましたが
目の前に映る神秘的な海底の様子を観察することに忙しく聴くことはありませんでした　参加者は家族連れが多く子供達は喜んでいました　ひとりで参加しても十分楽しめます

My wife and I experienced horseback riding for the first time. I was worried that the two-hour course might be too long for us at 60 years old, but it ended in no time. The scenery was amazing, and I definitely want to participate again next time.

初めて妻と２人で乗馬を体験しました。
２時間コースは６０歳の２人には長いのではないかと心配しましたが、あっという間に終わりました。景色も最高で、次も是非参加したいと思います。

We were a couple with Japanese people, and it was an easy-to-understand, enjoyable, interactive, and meaningful time with some Japanese mixed in. We even got nicknames, which made it fun to participate. I also received magic goods as a souvenir, for which I am grateful.

日本人は、我々の夫婦一組でしたが 日本語を交えてわかりやすく、楽しく、参加型で有意義なひとときでした。
あだ名もつけてもらい、面白く参加出来ました。
お土産で、マジックグッズも頂き　感謝です。

I was worried because it was drizzling lightly, but as we headed out to Kaneohe Bay, the weather cleared up, and it turned into a refreshing cruise. There was a sudden change with some intense ups and downs along the way, but it felt like a bit of a show. The only disappointment was that there were large clouds hanging over the mountains, which prevented us from seeing the full view of Kualoa Ranch.

小雨がパラパラとしていて心配しましたが、カネオヘ湾へ出ていくと晴れてきて、爽快なクルーズでした。途中で急にアップダウンが激しい状況になりましたが、ちょっとした演出のようでした。山側には大きな雲が垂れ込んでいて、クアロアランチ全景を眺めることが出来なかったのが唯一残念です。

The crew was so kind and professional. We had an amazing time snorkeling and seeing the fish/turtles! This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Whenever I'm planning to join a tour, I always wonder if it'll be fun for the kids too. Even though it's a bit pricier, choosing the Friday luau in the courtyard by the lagoon was a great choice! Even if the kids got a bit bored halfway through, they could play on the grass for a bit. And the best part was it was free for kids under 4, which was super awesome! What made me even happier was the kids buffet corner, with kid-friendly foods like Tater tots, Teriyaki chicken, and meatballs etc. We made some fantastic family memories in Hawaii.

The show was a blast, featuring dances from the various Polynesian islands.
There were even a few fire dancers, which the kids absolutely loved.

We were bummed we couldn't see the final fireworks from our seats, but watching them up close from right in front of the hotel was an incredible experience. Totally satisfied!

It was a bit murky in the afternoon, but I was able to see fish clearly at certain points, and although from a distance, I also saw a turtle, so I was satisfied. I didn't use the Japanese guide because I wasn't sure when to listen to it. However, I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed fully without the staff guide or the Japanese guide if you love the ocean and fish.

午後からの出向で少し濁っていましたが、ポイントポイントではしっかりと魚を見ることができたし、遠目でしたが亀も見れたので満足です。
日本語ガイドは聴くタイミングがよくわからなかったので使いませんでした。
でも、海や魚が好きならスタッフのガイドも日本語ガイドも無くても十分に楽しめるツアーだと思います。

The friendly staff makes it easy for beginners to enjoy surfing right away, so you can feel at ease. After just 10 minutes of practice, we were able to try it in the ocean! Half of us were able to stand up on the first wave! The waves were great, and we participated in both private and group lessons with five people, and everyone was satisfied!

明るいスタッフで初心者でも楽しめるサーフィンが直ぐに出来るから安心です。
10分立つ練習したら海で実践！半数は1回目の波で立つことが出来ました！
波も良くで、5人でプライベートとグループレッスンと分かれて参加しましたが、全員満足出来ました！

After taking a shuttle bus from Waikiki for about 50 minutes, we arrived at Kualoa Ranch. Once everyone got off the bus, there was an announcement saying, "If you would like to hear the explanation in Japanese, please follow the Japanese staff." While we were sitting with the rest of the group, others were being called by name and receiving their tickets and schedules, but we were not called... In the end, our tickets were with the Japanese staff, and there was a bit of a delay there. It would have been clearer if they had said, "Those with Japanese names, please go over there."

Thanks to our cheerful driver guide, we enjoyed visiting filming locations from Jurassic World and LOST, but just before the afternoon Ocean Voyage Tour, there was a sudden downpour! Everyone else had ponchos and umbrellas ready, but we were left unprotected and got completely soaked from head to toe. There was a poncho vending machine at the meeting point... I should have bought one without hesitation. Well, it's a good memory now.

ワイキキから送迎バスに乗って約50分ほどでクアロアランチに到着。全員バスから降りたところで、「事前説明を日本語で聞きたい人は日本人スタッフについて行って下さい」と案内があり、そのままその他大勢と一緒に座っていたところ、他の人はどんどん名前を呼ばれ、チケットとスケジュール表をもらっているのに呼ばれず・・・結局私たちのチケットは日本人スタッフさんが持って行っていて、そこで少し手間取りました。「日本の名前の人はあちらへ」と言ってもらったほうがわかりやすかったです。
明るいドライバーガイドさんのお陰でジュラシック・ワールド、LOSTなどの撮影場所を楽しく見学、まではよかったのですが、午後オーシャンボヤージツアー直前に突然の大雨！！皆さんポンチョや傘などを用意されていましたが、私たちだけ無防備で頭から足まで全身びしょ濡れになりました。集合場所にポンチョ自販機があったのに・・・迷わず買っておくべきでした。ま、いまではいい思い出です。

A first-time experience. My 6-year-old grandchild was very satisfied! My 70-year-old grandfather was also very satisfied! The boat staff were hospitable and full of humor! The experience of viewing Waikiki from the sky was amazing!

初めての体験。6歳の孫も大満足！70歳のジージーも大満足！ボートスタッフもホスピタリティがあり、ユーモアたっぷりでした！ワイキキを空から眺める体験は最高でした！

I traveled to Kualoa Ranch by shared sightseeing bus. Since there were many Japanese people, I felt at ease, but I was a bit anxious because the explanations were in English. For the horseback riding experience, there was a staff member who understood a little Japanese, and the video lecture was in Japanese, which was helpful.

Finally, it was time for horseback riding, but the horse I rode was quite stubborn, and we had some trouble starting. However, I was able to enjoy the two-hour ride. The view of the mountains and the sea from the saddle was breathtaking. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, and I felt a bit disappointed thinking about how wonderful it would have been if the weather had been nice. Also, backpacks were not allowed, so I had to put mine in a paid locker, but I wanted to keep my valuables with me. It would be good to have a slightly larger waist pouch.

クアロアランチまでは乗合観光バスで移動しました。日本人の方が多かったので安心でしたが、現地では英語の説明なので若干の不安も感じました。乗馬体験コースの事前説明は日本語の少しわかるスタッフがおり、日本語のビデオレクチャーだったので助かりました。
いよいよ乗馬となったのですが、私の騎乗した馬がなかなか言う事を聞いてくれなく出発に手間取りましたが、何とか2時間の乗馬を楽しむ事が出来ました。騎上から見る山、海は絶景でした。あいにくの雲空でしたが、天気が良かったらどんなに素晴らしいかった事か少し残念でした。それから、リックサックはNGで有料ロッカーに入れましたが貴重品は身に付けておきたいですよね。少し大きめのウエストポーチがあると良いですよ。

I recently went Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours / Standard Daytime Horseback Rides and unfortunately, it was not well organized. The whole experience seemed uncoordinated, and the pictures taken were unusable due to the way we were positioned.

I gave them 3 stars mainly because the two ladies we interacted with were nice enough, and the horses were well-behaved. However, the walk itself was not very scenic, and overall, it was a disappointing experience. I wouldn't do it again.

The pickup at the hotel was painless. The trip there was good. When we arrived we were greeted and they made sure we knew where to do, and answered all of our silly questions. The people at the ranch were awesome. Racheal our tour driver was awesome. She was funny, entertaining, and she knew all kind of fun movie location info. We watched 50 First Dates when we got back to the hotel and got to see a lot of the locations used. We did the bus tour and the cruise with the buffet. The food was great, and they honestly didn't care how much you ate. They had cookies and lemon bars for a quick dessert. Their on site restaurant had amazing looking burgers, will need to try if we ever go back. We also tried to the local chocolate bars with coffee beans and the banana bread. It was a bit pricey but we devoured all of it. The ride back to hotel was comfortable. Using Veltra was an awesome way to do the trip, to have nothing to worry about except where to show up, was excellent. We even used them to book our Luao after our trip because of how well they took care of us.

Everything is in English, but the instructions for filling out the agreement and how to use the lockers are clearly posted on the counter. The agreement can be accessed via a QR code on the web. I don't remember if there was Japanese, but you can manage with the translation feature in various browsers.

The instructor speaks only English, but they make an effort to communicate effectively.

During the surfing experience, the instructor will guide you on when to catch the waves, and if you trust their timing, you'll find it surprisingly easy to stand up.

Regarding the standing pose, if you pay an additional $65 on-site, there will be drone footage taken, which will be sent to you after the experience. It was a worthwhile investment for my future surfing progress and as a memorable video.

全て英語でますが、規約書記入やロッカーの預け方はカウンターの上に記載がありわかりやすです。
規約書はQRコード読み取りweb からとなります。
日本語があったか覚えてませんが、各ブラウザの翻訳でなんとかなります。
インストラクターは英語のみですが、頑張って伝えようと努力してくれます。

サーフィン体験中は、波に乗るタイミングをインストラクターの人が指示してくれるので信じて乗れば意外と簡単に立てます。

この立っている姿ですが、現地で追加65ドル払えばドローン撮影があり、体験後に送られ来ます。
今後のサーフィン成長や記念動画に価値ある支払いでした。
