Due to health reasons, we suddenly switched from the snorkeling option tour to horseback riding for our family of four after arriving in Hawaii. The convenience of online booking is truly remarkable. We chose a two-hour course recommended in a Hawaii special on TV. After a brief 10-minute explanation using a Japanese video, we immediately started riding! At first, I was anxious due to the fast pace and the absence of a staff member holding the reins, which is common in Japan, but there was no need to worry as the horses were well-trained. You can guide them just by pulling the reins a little to prevent them from stopping to eat. The views of the mountains and ocean from horseback were fantastic, and the route included filming locations from Jurassic Park and Godzilla, so we were never bored. The trail wasn’t just flat; we also went through the woods and crossed streams, and my two daughters were very satisfied, even though they complained about sore bottoms. The instructor seemed to have learned Japanese as a second language, and although his Japanese was limited, he provided instructions in Japanese for key points, which was reassuring. The only complaint I have is that there was no pickup service from the Honolulu area for the course (which is only an issue for the dads who book). This is definitely a recommended tour that you can't easily experience in Japan.
体調の都合で、ハワイ到着後に急遽、シュノーケリングのオプションツアーから、家族4人で乗馬に切り替えました。インターネット予約の本当に便利なところ。TVのハワイ特集で勧めていた2時間コースをチョイス。日本語ビデオを使った10分ほどの説明の後、すぐに乗馬、出発!あまりのテンポの速さと、日本では必ず居るタズナを持つ従業員も居ないのでに最初は不安でしたが、馬がしっかり教育されているので心配無用。道草を食わないように(本当に馬が食べて止まってしまう)タズナを引っ張る程度で、進めることができます。馬上からの山、海の景色も素晴らしく、また、ジェラッシックパーク、ゴジラの撮影現場もルートに含まれているので飽きることはありません。また、平坦な道だけでなく、林の中や小川をわたることもあり、2人の娘たちもお尻が痛いと言いながら大満足でした。インストラクターの方は、第2外国として日本語を学んでいたようで、片言ですがポイントは日本語で指導してくれたので安心。コースにホノルル地区からの送迎付きがないのが唯一の不満かな(これは申し込むお父さんだけの問題)。日本では簡単に体験できない是非お勧めのツアーです。

It was a tour where you could choose your favorite attractions based on the price and enjoy a full day of fun. We selected three tours: a mountain tour, a sea tour, and a movie location tour. Since we had just seen Jurassic World, we were particularly excited about the location tour! Additionally, on the sea tour, you can go out on a yacht and see sea turtles. Since everything is guided in Japanese, it was a high point that we could understand the content properly. There were times when it drizzled, but since we mainly moved by vehicle, it wasn't much of a problem. You can also experience four-wheeling and horseback riding, so I definitely want to visit again. I recommend it for those who find just the city and beach of Waikiki not enough.

The weather was great, and it took about an hour by rental car from Honolulu. They guided us on time for our 10:30 reservation. The horses were very well-behaved, and at first, I was worried about what would happen if they wandered off, but the guide assigned to our group skillfully led the horses, so there was no need to worry at all! The horses walked slowly, and we were completely satisfied after an hour of enjoying the mountains, sea, and forest. I gained a good understanding of the difficulty of riding. They also took photos of us riding, which were a bit pricey at $15, but I ended up buying them for the family as a keepsake. It was a very enjoyable experience. The hamburgers were delicious too!

When I came to Hawaii, I wanted to go horseback riding in nature, so I took a local bus for 1 hour and 30 minutes from Waikiki to Kualoa Ranch. First, I enjoyed a delicious burger that was highly recommended, and then I got on a big horse and started riding. There were six of us participating, but only one female instructor was assigned... Is this normal?? I was a bit anxious, wondering if she could handle everything alone if something happened, while I was riding.
Since I was a beginner, I took the one-hour course, but we just rode along a path surrounded by trees and that was it... Wait, where was the location of Jurassic Park?? Was there a two-hour course to go there?? I felt somewhat unsatisfied, but the female instructor spoke Japanese, I was able to ride safely, and the burger was delicious, so I had a decent time, giving it three stars.
However, I'm not sure if it was worth the three-hour round trip... It might be recommended for those who are just stopping by with a rental car.
ハワイに来たら大自然の中で乗馬をしたかったので、ワイキキからローカルバスに1時間30分乗ってクアロア牧場へ。

6名で参加しましたが、インストラクターの女性1人しかつかず・・・

The reservation for my preferred time was fully booked, so I had to start around noon, but that turned out to be a blessing as I had an amazing time. On the way there, we encountered heavy rain that reduced visibility, and it continued to rain heavily and lightly after we arrived. However, about 30 minutes before we started, the sun came out, and we ended up ziplining in great weather. If I had gone at my original time, I would have faced a downpour, which would have been quite a hassle. When the previous group returned, everyone was soaked...
The guide spoke entirely in English, which was a bit tiring as I had to concentrate, but everyone was friendly and had a great vibe; it was simply wonderful. I got bitten by mosquitoes, so I recommend bringing insect repellent if that concerns you. Overall, the scenery and weather were fantastic, and both the guide and the people I was with were great, making for a wonderful experience. I didn't see any other Japanese people in the groups before or after mine, so you can really enjoy the feeling of being abroad. In any case, this is something you absolutely must do!!!

蚊に刺されましたので、気になる方は虫よけスプレーなどを振っていくことをオススメします。
とにかく、景色も天気もすばらしく、ガイドさんも一緒に同行した人達も良い人達ばかりで、良い時間を過ごすことができました。

I enjoyed a full two-hour ride at locations that were used for filming Jurassic Park and Lost! It was a 45-minute drive from Honolulu by rental car. Our guide, Morgan, was incredibly hospitable and had studied Japanese, so he understood Japanese culture well. We were able to chat a lot during the ride. Even if you can't speak English, he will do his best to listen if you speak slowly. It was such a fun time that when I said things like "fantastic" or "amazing," he responded with a million-dollar smile, saying, "It's my pleasure." There are points where you can take photos, but be careful not to drop your camera, so I recommend using a lanyard that you can hang around your neck if you're a beginner. I also suggest wearing long pants to protect your legs and a waterproof outdoor jacket.
JURASSIC PARKやLOSTなどの撮影ロケーションともなった場所をたっぷり2時間ライドしました!ホノルルからレンタカーで45分でした。丁寧なガイドのホスピタリティ溢れるMorganは、日本語を勉強したことがあり、日本の文化にも理解があって、ライドしながらたくさんおしゃべりもできました。英語ができなくてもゆっくり話せば頑張って聞いてくれます。すごく楽しい時間だったので「ファンタスティック」とか「アメージング」と話しかけると、「It's my pleasure(喜んでもらえると嬉しい)」と100万ドルの笑顔でした。写真を撮ってくれるポイントもあるのですが、落とすと大変なので、初心者はカメラを首から下げるタイプのランヤードなどで持っていくといいと思います。足を保護する長ズボンと、Waterproofのアウトドアジャケットの着用をお薦めします。

Since we were going anyway, my wife insisted that we try horseback riding! Initially, I had planned to do a zipline experience that I saw on TV, but horseback riding seemed to be quite popular, and we couldn't secure a time that worked for us (I received numerous cancellation emails from VELTRA…). So, we decided to focus solely on horseback riding.
However, since horseback riding alone does not come as a package, there was no shuttle service from Waikiki. We chose to take a bus (The Bus) from Waikiki to Ala Moana for the transfer. The transfer at the bus stop south of Ala Moana Center was straightforward, but the only downside was that after a long ride in an air-conditioned bus, I needed to use the restroom frequently.
We got off at the bus stop in front of Kualoa Ranch and headed straight to the building in front of us. After passing through the shop, we found the entrance to the attraction at the back. We exchanged our voucher for tickets at the ticket booth and went to the horseback riding building at the designated time.
A staff member guided us to sign a waiver. After that, we watched a DVD explaining the horseback riding experience. It seemed that there were several languages available, but they made sure to play the Japanese version for us.
Once the group was assembled, the horses were brought out, and we were guided in order. Despite it being a weekday, there were quite a few people (around 16), and it took just under 30 minutes from the explanation until everyone was mounted. This shows how popular it is.
Finally, we began the horseback riding. We rode for about 45 minutes on paths that included muddy areas and paved roads. There were various things to keep in mind, like needing to ride in a single file, ensuring the horses didn't eat grass, and maintaining balance, but the views of the sea and mountains while riding were absolutely beautiful.
In a highland horseback riding experience, you only get to enjoy the mountain scenery, but here you can enjoy both the mountains and the sea. The one-hour course (which was actually about 45 minutes) flew by. I would love to go riding again if I have the chance. Next time, I definitely want to try the two-hour course…
せっかく行くからには乗馬体験したい!との妻の一言から決まりました。最初はテレビで見たジップラインとのセットを目論んでいたのですが、乗馬はなかなか人気らしく、思うような時間が取れませんでした(何度VELTRAさんからのキャンセルメールが届いたことか…)。それで、乗馬一本に絞っていくことに方針変更。
がしかし、乗馬だけの場合パッケージ扱いとならないので、ワイキキからの送迎がありません。私たちはワイキキからアラモアナ乗り換えのバス(The Bus)というコースを選択しました。乗り換えはアラモアナセンター南のバス停で特に問題ないのですが、長時間冷房のきいたバスに乗ったため、トイレが近くなったのが唯一の難点でした。
クアロア牧場前のバス停で降り、まっすぐ正面の建物へ。売店を通り抜けると奥にアトラクションの入り口があります。チケットブースでバウチャーとチケットを引き換え、指定の時間に乗馬の建物へ行きます。
係りの女性から承諾書に署名するよう案内があります。その後DVDで乗馬に当たっての説明を見ます。日本語のほかにも何ヶ国語かあるようですが、ちゃんと日本語を流してくださいました。
組がそろったら馬が連れてこられ、順番に案内されます。が、平日にもかかわらず人数が多く(16人ほどいたような)、説明から皆が乗り終わるまで30分弱を要しました。人気の高さが伺えます。
その後いよいよ乗馬開始。ぬかるみもある道やコンクリ舗装の道などを約45分ほど馬にのって歩きます。一列に進めないといけないとか、馬が草を食べたりしないようにとか、バランスをとらなくちゃとか、いろいろ気にするところはありますが、馬に乗りながら見る海や山の景色はとてもきれいです。
高原の乗馬体験とかだと山の景色だけですが、こちらでは山も海も両方楽しめます。1時間コース(実質45分ほど)ですがあっという間に過ぎていきました。また機会があれば乗りに行きたいです。次回はぜひ2時間コースで…。

I participated in the tour at Kualoa Ranch for the first time. Upon arrival, I was moved by the beauty of the mountains! Since I printed the voucher from Veltra, the check-in process went smoothly.
On the bus ride to the zipline starting point, we passed beautiful scenic spots and filming locations from Jurassic Park.
At the starting point, there are free lockers and restrooms, so it's a good idea to take care of that before putting on the harness. The tour was conducted entirely in English, and we were the only Japanese participants. The guides were all very friendly, making it easy to ask questions if anything was unclear.
You do walk a bit in the mountains after putting on the harness, which can be a little tiring, but it was enjoyable. There are a total of seven ziplines. It's not too scary, so as long as you're not afraid of heights, you'll be fine. It was very refreshing, the views were beautiful, and it was a great experience!
There was a shower along the way, but it was generally hot. However, there are a lot of mosquitoes, so long pants are recommended. Most of the other tour participants wore shorts, so shorts are also okay. There are water stations along the way, so you don't have to worry about getting thirsty.
I wanted to take photos with my iPhone, so I brought it along, but if you drop it, you definitely won't be able to retrieve it, so a case that you can hang around your neck is essential! Photos during the tour are taken with a provided camera and can be purchased at the end. Payment can be made in cash or via a registered email address.
The guides were all really kind and fun, making it a great tour! I was truly moved by the beautiful rainbow that appeared in the mountains along the way!

This is my second horseback riding experience at Kualoa. Last time, I felt that the 2-hour ride was a bit long, so this time I opted for the 1-hour course. Riding in the great outdoors was indeed very pleasant, and I enjoyed it enough in just 1 hour. Next time, I would like to participate in a course other than horseback riding.
2回目のクアロアでの乗馬体験になります。
前回は2hでちょっと長いと感じていたので、今回は1hコースにしてみました。
大自然の中での乗馬はやはりとても気持ちよく、1hでも十分楽しめました。
今度は乗馬以外のコースにも参加したいと思います。

I highly recommend the two-hour course!
My wife, who loves horses, wanted to try horseback riding for the first time, so I joined her. We decided to go for the two-hour course together. We drove to the location in a rental car. It was my first time driving a left-hand drive car and in Hawaii, but the roads were wide, and we had no problems getting there. An iPhone was sufficient for navigation (though I used the Japanese navigation option, Never Lost, and got lost right away).
We arrived at Kualoa Ranch about an hour before our reservation, so we decided to have lunch first. Other tourists were there from all over the world, and we enjoyed friendly conversations while eating. I had seen reviews saying the BBQ wasn't good, but the garlic shrimp was delicious.
After that, we showed our voucher at the reception. Since we had some time, we were told to wait by the stables. There, we met the other participants. In our group, besides us, there were three American women and a newlywed couple from Korea, making a total of seven. The friendly instructor asked, "Does everyone understand English?" and since we replied, "No problem!" we didn't have to watch the Japanese DVD mentioned in other reviews. Instead, we received instructions directly from the instructor while mounted on the horses. Later, I realized the newlywed couple didn't understand much English and seemed to struggle with horse handling. If you're not very confident in English, it might be reassuring to watch the Japanese DVD.
After a brief explanation, we were off! I relaxed on a gentle horse, and as we passed through the mountain trails, we entered the vast world of Jurassic Park! The ocean spread out on our right, and if we were lucky, we might see a whale spouting. We also experienced some fun accidents, like being completely blocked by a herd of cows.
This activity mainly involves following the instructor at a slow pace, but my wife seemed to have a good connection with her horse. The instructor said, "You're doing great, so you can be the leader this time. You can make the horse walk a bit faster, but if you get too far from the group, wait for us." This allowed us to enjoy the ride quite freely (we were lucky!).
On the way back, we were even shown a path used in the latest "Jurassic World" movie, which was very satisfying! Our excitement was through the roof after watching the movie before participating. There are also other filming locations from "Jurassic World," so that's something to look forward to during your visit.
In this unique scenery, the two-hour course flew by. It may vary for different people, but I recommend the two-hour course. My backside was a little sore the next day, but that too is a good memory.
2時間コースをお勧め!
馬が大好きな妻の希望で、乗馬初体験の私も参加。思い切って2時間コースに二人で参加してみました。現地まではレンタカーで移動。左ハンドルもハワイでの運転も初めてですが、道も広く問題なく移動できました。ナビはiPhoneで充分です。(オプションでつけた日本語ナビのネバー・ロストを使ってましたがすぐに迷いました。)
クアロア牧場には受付の1時間ぐらい前には到着したので、先にランチを取ることに。ほかの観光客の方も世界各地から来ていらして、結構フレンドリーに話しながら食事も楽しめました。BBQは美味しくなかったという書き込みを見ましたが、ガーリックシュリンプ、美味しかったですよ。
その後バウチャーを見せて受付。まだ時間があるので厩舎の横で待機するように言われました。そこで参加者の方々と対面。私たちの回は私たちの他にはアメリカ人の女性3人と韓国人の新婚さんカップル2名、そして私たちの計7名ででした。気さくなインストラクターの方から「みんな英語わかる?」と聞かれて「大丈夫!」と答えたので他の方のレビューにある日本語でのDVDを見ることもなく、直接インストラクターが馬にまたがりながら説明を受けました。あとで分かったのですが、新婚さんカップルはあまり英語が分かっていなかったようで、あとで馬の操作に手こずっていたようです。英語にあまり自信のない方は折角なので日本語のDVDを見せてもらったほうが安心です。
簡単な説明も終わり、いよいよ出発です!おとなしい馬に身体を預け、山道を抜けるとそこは広大なジュラシックパークの世界!右側には海も広がり運がよければクジラの潮吹きも見えるみたいです。途中は牛の群れに完全に道をふさがれたりと、楽しいアクシデントも体験しました。
このアクティビティは基本的にインストラクターに従ってゆっくり歩くのですが、妻は馬と相性がよかったようで、「上手だから今回のリーダーになって。少し馬を早く歩かせてもいいから、隊列から離れすぎたら待っててね。」と言ってもらえ、結構自由に楽しめました。(ラッキーでした!)
帰り道ではなんと最新作の「ジュラシック・ワールド」のロケで使われた小道も紹介してもらい大満足!映画を見てからの参加でもテンションも上がりまくりでした。それ以外にも「ジュラシック・ワールド」で撮影に使われているところがありますので、それは参加されてのお楽しみ。
ここでしか体験できない景色の中で、あっという間に過ぎた2時間コースでした。
人にもよると思うのですが、私は2時間のコースをお勧めします。翌日お尻は少し痛くなりますが、それも良い思い出です。
