When inexperienced riders go horseback riding in Japan, there are often people pulling the reins beside them, but here, the ranch staff leads the way on horseback, forming a line and taking about 1.5 hours to tour the ranch. There were many amusing incidents, such as the horses bumping into each other, starting to eat grass, and needing to relieve themselves, which made it enjoyable. Among the six customers, we were the only Japanese.
日本で未経験者が乗馬となると、オーバルコースで横に手綱を引く人がいたり、だと思いますが、ここでは牧場スタッフが騎乗した馬を先頭に、隊列を組んで1.5時間かけて牧場内を回ります。
乗馬した馬同士でどつきあったり、草を食べ始めたり、用をたしたりのハプニングが多数あって、楽しめました。
6人のお客のうち、日本人は私達だけでした。

I had been to the North Shore several times by rental car, but this time I joined the tour because some members were anxious about driving and I wanted to try beach horseback riding.
We left our hotel in Waikiki a little after 8 AM and returned by 3:30 PM, making it a convenient plan. Our driver guide, Hiro, provided a wealth of local information along the way and took us to various hidden gems, making for a fulfilling tour that I was very satisfied with!
For horseback riding, I got to ride well-trained horses and we strolled for just under an hour through the beach and forest. The weather was great, and we were able to enjoy a leisurely flow of time.
ノースショアは何回かレンタカーで行ってはいましたが、今回は運転に不安なメンバーだったのと海辺乗馬にもトライしたくて、このツアーに参加しました。
朝8時過ぎにワイキキのホテルを出て3時半にはホテルに戻る時間的にも楽なプランで、ドライバーガイドのヒロさんが、道中でも現地でもローカル情報を盛りだくさん折り込んで次々と穴場へ連れて行って下さり、凝縮されたツアーに大満足でした!
乗馬はしっかり調教された馬達に乗せてもらいビーチや森林を1時間弱散歩。天気も良くゆったりと流れる時間を過ごす事ができました。

I participated with my wife.
The location is quite far out on the North Shore, so renting a car is essential.
We don't use Uber, so I'm not sure how frequently it operates in the area.
There were seven participants, including us.
We were the only two Japanese people.
After checking in, there was a briefing for about five minutes, and then we got right on the horses.
The check-in and briefing were all in English, but the content was simple.
It included instructions like which way to pull the reins to steer and to stand up when the horse needs to relieve itself.
Even if you can't catch everything in English, you'll receive a printed notice in Japanese at the beginning, so as long as you memorize that, you'll be fine.
Now, regarding the horseback riding experience, after riding a bit on the ranch, we took a course along the beach.
Since it was along the beach, there was quite a bit of dust kicked up by the horses, and depending on the wind direction, it could get pretty white in front of you.
However, the view of the North Shore from the horse's back was extraordinary and the best part of the experience.
At the rest point, the guide took a lot of photos, leaving us with many memories of the trip.
We were lucky enough to see a rainbow, but unfortunately, the sunset wasn't very beautiful due to a lot of clouds. The guide also mentioned that it was disappointing, but clouds can't be controlled (laughs).
We returned to the office at 7:30 PM.
We were on horseback for a full hour and a half.
Although the accessibility from Waikiki isn't great, the special experience of riding along the beach is something you can't find elsewhere.
As of June 16, 2018, when I printed the voucher from Veltra, it mentioned that the parking lot was at the far left of the arena after entering the main gate, and that the gate should be closed after entering. However, in reality, the entrance to the horseback riding check-in office was at the next gate without entering the main gate.
妻と参加しました。
場所はノースショアのかなり外れの方にあるのでレンタカー必須です。
私たちはUberを使っていないのでこの近辺でUberがどの程度走っているのかはわかりません。
私たち含めて参加者は7名。
日本人は私たち2名だけでした。
受付をすませて時間になると5分程度のブリーフィングを行なってすぐに馬に乗り込みます。
なお受付、ブリーフィングは全て英語ですが簡単な内容です。
方向を決めるには手綱をどっちに引けとか、馬が用をたす時は立てだとか。
またもし英語が聞けそうになくても最初に日本語の注意書きのプリントを渡されるのでその内容を覚えてしまえば大丈夫です。
さて肝心の乗馬体験は牧場敷地を少し乗った後ビーチ沿いのコースを乗りました。ビーチ沿いなので馬が歩くとかなり砂埃が舞うので風向きによっては結構目の前が真っ白なんて事もありました。
でも馬の背からみるノースショアの景色は非日常感を味わえて最高でした。
休憩ポイントではガイドさんが写真をたくさん撮ってくださり旅の思い出がたくさん残りました。
私たちは運良く虹を見ることができましたが、夕日については残念ながら雲が沢山あったのであまり綺麗ではありませんでした。こればかりはガイドさんも残念だけど雲はコントロールできないと言ってました(笑)
オフィスに帰ってきたのは19時30分。
なんとたっぷり1時間30分も馬の背に乗ってました。
ワイキキからのアクセス性が悪いけど、ビーチ沿いを乗馬できるという特別感は他ではなかなか味わえないと思います。
ベルトラさんのバウチャーをプリントした2018/6/16現在、駐車場はメインゲートを入って競技場を左端まで行ったところ、更にゲートは入場後閉めてくださいと記載されていましたが、実際はメインゲートを入らずに次のゲートまで車を走らせたところの入り口(ゲート無し)が乗馬受付オフィスでした。

Before horseback riding, I had an early lunch of garlic shrimp. BIG WAVE is far from the meeting point near Matsumoto Shave Ice, so I had to finish lunch within an hour while exploring Haleiwa Town, which made for a rather rushed meal. It was good that it wasn't crowded, but it took some time for the order to be ready, and I wished I could have taken a bit more time.
The horseback riding felt relaxed as I enjoyed the view of the ocean. I was able to see a sea turtle sleeping on the beach during the ride.
乗馬の前に早めのランチでガーリックシュリンプを食べました。BIG WAVEは集合場所のマツモトシェイブアイス付近から遠いためハレイワタウン散策1時間でランチを済まして集合は時間的に厳しくかなりあわただしい食事になりました。空いていたからよかったけど、注文してできあがるまで時間もかかるしもう少し時間をとれればなあと思いました。
乗馬は海を眺めながらのんびりという感じでした。乗馬中に浜辺で寝ているウミガメ見れました。

This was my first trip to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We chose this tour because it seemed like a great fit for both my athletic partner and my less coordinated self. There was a little hiccup at the hotel that morning, but the tour company responded quickly, and we were able to join the tour without any issues. Our guide was a Japanese man who kept us entertained with explanations of the scenery and quizzes during the drive.
The North Shore sightseeing allowed us to visit the places we wanted, so we took photos at the popular Instagram spot with the wings and visited Matsumoto Shave Ice. Unfortunately, there were no sea turtles at Turtle Beach, but it had a different atmosphere from Waikiki, and we enjoyed the scenery.
The much-anticipated horseback riding was led by a staff member, and we rode in a line along the beach and through the forest for 45 minutes. It seemed like they chose horses based on the participants' types; the horse I rode was very smart, carefully going down steps and staying in line. My partner's horse, on the other hand, was a bit mischievous, immediately going for grass and not keeping a consistent distance from the others (laughs). The staff also took photos with their phones during the ride. It was an amazing experience to hold the reins while gazing at the ocean.
On the way back, we stopped at a macadamia nut souvenir shop where we could crack and eat macadamia nuts ourselves, and there were various flavored nuts that I bought as souvenirs. We arrived back at the hotel by 3:30 PM, allowing us to spend our evening meaningfully. This tour was very satisfying, offering not only horseback riding but also sightseeing!
ハネムーンで初ハワイ。スポーツ万能な彼と運動音痴な私がお互い楽しめそう、と選んだのがこのツアー。当日の朝ホテルでハプニングがありましたが、ツアー会社の方が俊敏に対応して下さり無事ツアーに参加することが出来ました。アテンドさんは日本人男性で、車中から見える景色の説明やクイズなどをして下さり道中も退屈せずに過ごせました。ノースショア 観光はそれぞれが行きたい場所へ行けるので、インスタ人気の羽の壁で写真を撮ったり、マツモトシェイブアイスへ行きました。ウミガメビーチでは残念ながらウミガメは居ませんでしたがワイキキとは又違った雰囲気のビーチで景色だけでも楽しめました。お待ちかねの乗馬ですが、係の方を先頭に一列になって浜辺や森の中を45分かけて回ります。参加者のタイプに合わせた馬を選んでくれるみたいで、私を乗せてくれた馬はとても賢く、段差をゆっくり降りてくれたり列からはみ出さない馬でした。彼の方はすぐに草を食べに行ったり、馬間距離がバラバラだったりと中々やんちゃそうでしたが(笑)途中係の方が携帯で写真も撮ってくれます。自分で手綱を握りながら海を眺めるという最高の体験が出来ました。帰りに寄ったマカデミアナッツのお土産屋さんでは自分でマカデミアナッツを割って食べることが出来たり、色々なフレーバーのナッツがありお土産に買って帰りました。15時半にはホテルに着いたので、夜も有意義に時間を使えます。乗馬だけではなく観光も楽しめるとても満足なツアーでした!
Thank you for participating. We're also happy to see that you enjoyed it. Please join us again next time for a sea turtle revenge. Thank you for the wonderful images as well.

The driver who spoke Japanese considered a route that passed through areas not visited by participants, providing commentary on the scenery as we traveled, which made me feel like I was sightseeing twice as much beyond just the North Shore.
Even for someone like me who is not athletic, I was able to enjoy horseback riding with the guidance of the staff at the local resort.
The horse was larger than a pony but smaller than a racehorse, and it was properly trained to ensure there was no risk of it running away, so there was no danger of falling off.
Above all, the scenery along the beach as we rode with the horse was beautiful.

The weather wasn't perfectly clear, but my first experience riding on the beach was absolutely wonderful. The horse was very trusting of people, so I felt comfortable riding even without any riding skills. The dog at the club was very cute.
The reason I didn't give it a 5-star rating is that I was told the riding time would be 90 minutes, but it ended up being just under 80 minutes. Also, the club's restroom was clogged, and I couldn't use it beforehand.
Other than that, it was a very good experience.
天気は快晴ではありませんでしたが、初めての砂浜での乗馬はとても素晴らしかったです。
馬はとても人を信頼していて、乗馬スキルがなくても安心して乗ることが出来ました。クラブにいた犬がとても可愛かったです。
★5ではないのは、乗馬時間が90分と聞いていましたが、80分弱で終わってしまったからです。
また、クラブのトイレが詰まっており、事前にトイレに行くことが出来ませんでした。

- Toilet break at Dole Plantation → There is hardly any time. If you're going to eat ice cream, it seems good to share one among 3 to 4 people.
- Free time in Haleiwa. I received a map with points of interest, which made sightseeing easier. I strolled around and had garlic shrimp, and before I knew it, time flew by. You can be dropped off at your favorite spot, but you have to walk back to the meeting place at Matsumoto Shave Ice, so it’s difficult if it’s too far.
- It seems they recommend shrimp from Camaron, and they take orders for that in advance. Giovanni may not open as scheduled and has long lines, so it might be difficult to eat there.
- For horseback riding, it seems that sneakers are necessary to communicate commands to the horse, and I was warned when I went in flip-flops. However, the horses are well-trained, so there wasn't any particular problem.
- If you don't go with a shoulder bag or a small backpack, there is no place to leave valuables. There are no lockers, and you can't go empty-handed with just your phone. It might be good if you can wear it around your neck. Selfie sticks are also not allowed.
・ドールプランテーションでトイレ休憩→ほぼ時間はありません。アイスを食べるなら3〜4人で1つで良さそう。
・ハレイワでフリータイム
見所を記載した地図を貰えたので観光しやすかったです。
ブラブラしてガーリックシュリンプを食べたらあっという間でした。
好きな場所で降ろしてもらえるのですが、集合場所のマツモトシェイブアイスまで歩いて戻らないといけないのであまり遠いと難しいです。
・エビはカマロン推しのようで、そこだけは予め注文を取ってくれます。ジョバンニは予定通りに開くとは限らないのと行列なので食べるのは難しいかもしれません。
・乗馬はスニーカーでないと馬へ指示が伝わりにくいようで、ビーサンで行ったら注意されました。ですがよく飼いならされた馬なので特に問題なかったです。
・ショルダーバッグや小さめのリュックで行かないと、貴重品を預けるところはありません。ロッカーもないし、手ぶらで携帯だけを持っていく、ということも出来ません。首から下げられるといいかも。セルカ棒もNGです。
Thank you very much for your participation and valuable feedback.

The pineapple garden at Dole was a bit rushed due to time constraints, but I was satisfied with the sightseeing! There were height and weight restrictions for horseback riding, so I chose this course, but in reality, they didn't check my weight or height closely, so I thought I should have gone for the mountain course instead. The weight limit was stated as 102 kilograms, but the trainer looked like he was over 120 kilograms, haha. My child's height was also not enough, but it was okay!
I can't speak English, but since a Japanese guide explained things along the way, there were no issues!
If I go again, I would definitely choose a longer horseback riding experience on a course with better scenery!

The weather wasn't very good, starting off with a cloudy sky and occasional light rain. The participants were just the two of us and a young couple from abroad, making four in total. Before we began, we were asked to read and sign a simple agreement written in Japanese. The staff helped us choose our horses, and each of us received a brief explanation on how to ride and handle the reins before being placed on the horses.
All the conversations were in English, so I could somewhat understand, but I missed the finer details and just relied on observation and body language. Suddenly, the staff led us in a line, and we started. We quickly began walking along the coastal path. After walking on the sandy ground for a while, we moved onto some grassy areas. The pace was slow, but there were moments where we suddenly accelerated on slight inclines, which was interesting.
While on the grass, my horse started eating the surrounding grass as we walked, and it was a bit challenging to get it to stop. I think it was mentioned in the initial instructions, but I wish I had read it more carefully. After walking for a while, we stopped on flat ground for a commemorative photo. The staff took many pictures with our smartphones.
We then returned the way we came, but the horse of the foreign couple's female rider seemed a bit excited and suddenly started running and rearing up, which made her a little scared. We changed the order of the horses and brought that horse behind the staff, but it still didn't work out. In the end, we called for a replacement horse, and while waiting, we took more commemorative photos on the beach. By that time, the sun was beginning to set, and I thought how beautiful the sunset by the sea would have been if the weather had been nice. We waited for nearly 20 minutes in the dark.
The replacement horse arrived safely, and we headed back. Due to the incident, our horseback riding session lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes. The couple seemed fine as they were conversing in English, but I worried a bit about what would have happened if it had been us, as we wouldn't have been able to communicate. However, the staff handled the situation calmly, so it might be a common occurrence. The only disappointment was the weather, but the horseback riding itself was very enjoyable, and I would love to try it again when the weather is nice.
天気があまりよくなくて曇り空~時々小雨がぱらつく中でのスタートでした。
参加者は私たち夫婦と外国の若いカップルの4人。
始まる前に同意書など簡単な説明が日本語で書いてあるものを読まされサイン。スタッフがそれぞれの馬を選んでくれて一人ずつ
乗り方と簡単な手綱の扱い方の説明を受けていきなり馬に乗せられました。
すべて会話は英語なので何となく理解はできましたが細かいことはわからずただただ見様見真似とボディランゲージで・・
いきなりスタッフ先頭で4人が一列になってスタート。
すぐに海岸の道を歩き始めます。しばらく砂地を歩いたら少し中のほうの草地を歩いたり・・歩くのはゆっくりですが少し坂になっているところなどは急に加速したり変化があり面白かったです。
草地では馬が歩きながら周りの草を食べてしまいそれをやめさせるように扱うのが少し難しかったです。最初の説明書に書いてあったような気がするのですがもっとちゃんと読んでおけばよかった^^;
しばらく歩いて平らなところで記念撮影。スタッフが私たちのスマホでたくさん写真を撮ってくれます。
そこからまた来た道を戻りましたが、外人カップルの女性の馬が少し興奮気味?で急に走り出したり前足上げて立ち上がったりしてしまって
その女の子も少し怖がっていたようです。歩く順番を変えてスタッフの次にその馬を持ってきましたが、やはりだめで最後は電話連絡して代わりの馬を連れてきてもらい交代。待っている間浜辺でまた記念撮影、そのころもう日が沈みかけていたので天気が良ければきっと海辺のサンセットがきれいだったんだろうな。。と思いながら暗闇の中20分近く待っていました。
無事に代わりの馬が来て帰路に。。アクシデントがあったので1時間45分の乗馬になりました。彼女たちは英語で会話していたので大丈夫そうでしたがもし私たちのほうだったら言葉が通じないのでどうなっていたか少し心配になりましたが、スタッフは落ち着いて対応していたのでよくあることなのかもしれません。天気だけが残念でしたが乗馬自体はとても面白く、また天気が良い時に乗ってみたいと思いました。

You can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere since it's not crowded. Walking along the coast feels very nice. It's a homely atmosphere at the riding club.
空いててゆったりと楽しめます。
海沿いを歩くのでとても気持ちいいです。
アットホームな雰囲気の乗馬クラブです。

It was a very elegant time, walking slowly along the beach and through the fields for about an hour and a half. I was a bit worried since the explanations were only in English, but the horses were well-trained, so I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. Since I didn't have a rental car, I took the bus to Haleiwa and then used Uber from there. Fortunately, there happened to be an Uber nearby both on the way there and back, so I didn't have to wait long, but according to the driver, there usually aren't many Uber cars around this area. Those without a rental car might want to be cautious.
海辺や野畑を1時間半ほどゆっくり歩く、とても優雅な時間でした。
説明は英語オンリーということで少し心配でしたが、しっかり躾されている馬たちなので、安心して楽しむことができました。
レンタカーがなかったので、バスでハレイワまで行き、そこからuberで行きました。uberは行きも帰りもたまたま近くにいたのでそこまで待たずに捕まえられましたが、運転手さんいわくこのへんは普段はあまりuber車は通っていないとのこと。
レンタカーなしの方は気を付けた方がいいかもしれません。

This horseback riding experience was a bit of a failure in terms of location. I thought it would be closer to Turtle Bay Resort, but it was quite far away (there are also horseback riding facilities within the resort). I rented a car to secure transportation to the site. This time, it was a disappointment.
今回の乗馬は場所的に失敗しました。
タートル ベイ リゾートからもう少し近いと思って・・・いましたが
かなり、離れていて(リゾート内にも乗馬施設あり)
行くまでの手段の確保にレンタカーをレンタルして現地へ向かいました。
今回は失敗しました。

Although there are some detours, considering just the horseback riding, the price feels a bit high. However, the location is good, and I think it was nice to enjoy a bit of Haleiwa as well.
寄り道はあるものの乗馬だけと考えると料金的には高い気がしますが
ロケーションはよく、ハレイワも少しは楽しめるのでよかったかと。
Thank you for participating. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the beach course that is characteristic of Hawaii.
ご参加ありがとうございます。
ハワイらしい海辺コースは楽しんでいただけたようで良かったのです。

I might have needed to mention this beforehand, but if I was expecting a title like "Enjoy the Ranch with a Course That Suits You," there was no level check or inquiry about my preferences; it was just a slow, straightforward walk.
事前に言っておかなければならなかったのかもしれませんが、「あなたに合ったコースで牧場を満喫」というタイトルを期待していたら、レベルチェックも希望を聞かれることもなく、ただ淡々とゆっくり歩くだけでした。
ご不便をおかけして申し訳ありませんが、この乗馬ではトロットやキャンターができなかったことにご不満を感じられたかもしれません。上級者向けの乗馬オプションもございますが、予約されたのは1.5時間の景色を楽しむ乗馬でした。上級者向けの乗馬ではトロットやキャンターが可能ですが、そのグループは少人数(4人)に制限しています。また、各ライダーは安全にトロットやキャンターができることを示さなければなりません。馬は速く走るのが好きなので、馬をコントロールできない方には危険です。もし上級者であれば、その乗馬にご参加いただけることを願っています。マハロ。
We apologize if you were frustrated by not being able to trot or canter on this ride. We have an advanced ride option, however, the ride booked was a 1.5 hr scenic ride. Our advance ride allows trotting and cantering, however, we keep that group small (4 people). Also, each rider must show that they can safely trot and canter because horses love to go faster and it would be dangerous for someone who doesn't know how to control the horse. We hope if you are advance that you will sign up for that ride. Mahalo

My son and I just did the 90 minute scenic tour. It was his first time and it was absolutely fantastic! The whole trail was very smooth and the view was breathtaking like no other. Our wranglers were very knowledgeable about the trail and very attentive. My son who is 8 absolutely enjoyed the ride and had no problem riding this trail. Definitely a ‘must activity’ at Gunstock Ranch!
Mahalo for the wonderful review, and pictures! We appreciate you taking taking the time to share your experience.

The horseback riding time was quite long, and I enjoyed walking along the coast. I felt that the Dole Plantation wasn't really necessary.
乗馬の時間は結構長く、海沿いも歩いたので楽しめました。
ドールプランテーションは要らなかったかなーという感じです

I had the image of a staff member leading each horse for a walk, but instead, it was really nice to see them trotting along freely.
1人ずつ係りの人が馬を引いて散歩するイメージがありますが、それではなくパカパカとお散歩する感じがとても良かったです。
Thank you for participating. I'm glad you enjoyed it. The views from the horseback riding course are truly soothing. Please consider using our services again next time.

I arrived a little late to the meeting place, but it was a lot of fun. The main purpose was horseback riding, but I was also able to stroll around the town of Haleiwa (the garlic chicken was delicious). Although I didn't see any turtles due to the season, I was excited to see a seal during the horseback riding. The horses are cute and gentle, making it a great option for beginners.
待ち合わせ場所には少し遅れて迎えがきましたが、とても楽しかったです。
目的は、乗馬でしたがハレイワの街を散策出来たり(フリフリチキンが美味しかったです。)時期的にカメはお目にかかれませでしたが乗馬の時にアザラシがいてテンション上がりました。馬も可愛いし、おとなしいので初心者にもオススメです。
Thank you for participating. It seems that the pickup was delayed, and I apologize for that. I'm glad to hear that you were satisfied with the tour. We look forward to serving you again.

It takes about two hours to get to Gunstock Ranch by taking The Bus number 55 from Ala Moana. After passing by Kualoa Ranch, you will find Gunstock Ranch further ahead. There is only a sign along the road, so I almost missed the bus stop at Kamehameha Hwy + Opp 56-155. After getting off the bus and walking down the road marked by the sign, I arrived at Gunstock Ranch, where I could hear cheerful voices from a children's swimming class.
I arrived quite a bit earlier than the check-in time, so I spent some time playing with the horses and goats. After listening to the safety instructions, I decided not to wear a helmet and signed a separate waiver form. About 30 minutes into the horseback riding, we reached a hill where we could see the surrounding scenery, and Grace and Chad, who guided us, took some photos for us. The staff were very friendly and helped my mother, who doesn't understand English at all and is inexperienced with horseback riding, feel comfortable. I had a fulfilling two hours riding along a path covered with jungle-like trees on a very friendly horse, an experience I don't usually get to enjoy. I definitely want to visit again.
アラモアナから55番のThe Busに乗ること約2時間、クアロア牧場を通り過ぎ、さらに行ったその先にGunstock Ranchがあります。道路沿いからは看板が立っているだけなので、バス停である、Kamehameha Hwy + Opp 56-155 というバス停をあわや見逃しそうに・・・ バスから降り、看板が立っている道を奥に進んでいくと、子供のスイミング教室から楽しそうな声が聞こえるGunstock Ranchにたどり着きました。
受付時間よりだいぶ早く着いてしまったので、馬やヤギと戯れながら時間を潰し、注意事項などを聞いて、私はヘルメットをかぶらないことにしたので、別途既定の用紙へサインをしました。乗馬を開始すること30分、あたりの景色を一望出来る丘の上にたどり着き、案内をしてくれたGraceとChadに写真を撮ってもらいました。とっても気さくなスタッフの方々で、英語が全くわからず乗馬にも不慣れな私の母をしっかりとリードしてくれました。ジャングルのような木々に覆われた道をとてもフレンドリーな馬と進む、普段味わえない充実した2時間を過ごすことができました。またぜひ訪れたいと思います。
マハロ(ありがとう)詳細な説明をありがとうございます。これは私たちの未来のゲストにとても役立ちます。またすぐにお越しいただけることを願っています。マハロ(ありがとう)

It was my first time riding a horse, but the horse was very calm, and even beginners could enjoy it. The riding course along the coast had beautiful scenery, and I was very satisfied.
The only disappointing part was the guide. Although he was a Japanese person who had lived in Hawaii for a long time, he forgot our group during the hotel pickup that morning and left without us. We had to call the hotel we were staying at, and finally, he came back to pick us up. However, his apology felt insincere, and he seemed to have no bad intentions, which made us feel bad for the other tour guests who were with us. That was the only disappointing part.
乗馬は初めてでしたが、とてもおとなしく初心者でも楽しむことができました。また、乗馬コースも海沿いでとてもきれいな景色で満足でした。
ひとつだけ残念だったのが、ガイドさんです。ハワイに長く住む日本人の方でしたが、当日朝のホテルピックアップの時点で私たちのグループだけ忘れられていて、ピックアップされず先に進んでしまったそうです。泊まっていたホテルの方に電話してもらい、ようやく車に戻ってきてもらうことができました。しかし、謝り方も適当で悪気ない様子で、逆に私たち方が同乗していた他のツアー客の方に悪いと感じてしまうようでした。そこだけが残念でした。
Thank you for your participation.
I sincerely apologize for the mistake during your pickup. It seems there were also shortcomings in the response from our staff, and I apologize for that as well.

I drove from Honolulu.
The entrance is easy to find because there are signs.
You can take a leisurely horseback ride along the beach, and the photos turned out great with the ocean as the backdrop.
This is my third time horseback riding in Hawaii, but if you want to ride by the beach, this is the best place to go!
I apologize for sharing my experience a year later. I will make a reservation next month!
ホノルルから車で行きました。
