My daughter said she wanted to ride a horse, so I did some research and found good reviews about this place, so I made a reservation. On the day of our visit, we arrived in about an hour by rental car. Our family of four started on time. We rode along the coast and into the woods. There were moments when the horses stopped to eat grass, but generally, they followed the horse in front of them. We returned to the coast, where we took many photos. We rode for just over an hour. All the staff were cool women. Our guide was Jessie. As soon as we finished, she took two horses to practice polo. Tips were separate, so I had prepared some, but she left quickly, and when I asked another staff member to give it to her, they called her back. It’s a bit challenging to get there without a car, but it’s a wonderful place! I definitely want to go again and ride a horse! On the way back, we even saw a beautiful rainbow, making it an unforgettable day! 😊
娘が馬に乗りたいと言うので調べたところ、こちらの評判が良かったので申し込みました。
当日はレンタカーで1時間程で着きました。
家族4人で時間通りにスタートしました。海岸を通り林の中へ。途中馬たちが草を食べ出し止まってしまうこともありましたが、基本的には前の馬に付いて歩いてくれます。また海岸に戻り、そこで写真を何枚も撮って頂きました。
1時間強は乗っていました。スタッフは皆格好いい女性です。私たちの担当はジェシーさん。私たちが終わるとすぐに、2頭の馬を連れ、ポロの練習に行かれました。チップは別途となっていたので、用意していたのですが、すぐに行かれてしまい、他のスタッフに「渡して下さい」と言うと、呼び戻してくれました。
車がないと行かれないので、ちょっと大変ですが、素晴らしいところです‼是非また行って、馬に乗りたいです❗
帰りはきれいな虹も出て、忘れられない1日になりました~☺

I went with my wife and daughter. The one and a half hours felt quite long, but being guided by a beautiful instructor through the magnificent highlands made me feel great. The scenery was also incredibly wonderful, and it was a lot of fun. The horses were all very gentle, and even my 9-year-old daughter enjoyed riding. It's a bit far from Waikiki, but I think it's not a problem at all if you have a rental car.
妻、娘 三人と行きました。 一時間半はかなり長く感じましたが、雄大な高原の中を美人さんのインストラクターに案内されて、気分も最高でした。又景色も非常に素晴らしく楽しかったです、馬さんもどれもおとなしく9歳の娘でも楽しく乗馬できました。ちょっとワイキキからは遠いですが、レンタカーが有れば全然問題ないと思います。

The explanation for shark watching was all in English. I couldn't understand what they were saying at all, but I managed! When I put on my snorkel and peered into the sea, there were over 20 sharks! They didn't come close, so it didn't seem dangerous. However, it was a bit challenging to see them while battling the rough waves. But that was thrilling and fun! I had to wait for others to have their turn, so the time on the boat was long, which made me a bit seasick. But I’m glad I did it! ♪
シャークウォッチングの説明は全て英語。何を言ってるか全然分からなかったけど、なんとかなる!シュノーケルを付けていざ海の中を覗くとそこにはサメが20頭以上いた!でも近付いてくるわけじゃないから危険ではなさそう。でも荒波と戦いながら見る事が少し大変。でもそれがスリリングでまた楽しかった!だけど他の方の番も待たないといけないので、船の滞在時間が長いため船酔いした。でもやって良かったと思いました♪

Our main event this time was horseback riding. Last time we did it at Kualoa, but here the duration was longer, and the horses were smart, which made it a安心 experience. It was disappointing not to see any turtles, but we were able to have lunch at a restaurant we researched in Haleiwa, and we also had time for shopping. Haleiwa drops you off at your requested location, so I think it's good to do some research beforehand. It's only an hour, so if you haven't checked, it goes by in a flash. Horseback riding truly became the main event this time, and it was fantastic!
私たちの今回のメインイベントだった乗馬でした。前回はクアロアでやりましたが、ここは時間も長く、かしこい馬さんで安心して乗れました。亀には会えず残念でしたが、ハレイワでも調べていた店でランチができ、ショッピングする時間もありました。ハレイワはリクエストの場所に降ろしてくれるので、調べていかれるといいと思います。1時間ですので、チェックしてなかったらあっという間ですよ。乗馬は今回のメインイベントにちゃんとなり、最高でした!

We participated as a couple from Waikiki, taking the bus. We arrived early to avoid being late and walked about 10 minutes from the bus stop, but no one was there. There were several booths surrounded by fences, and the horses were lounging around, looking quite relaxed.
After waiting for 50 minutes, just as our reservation time was approaching, we heard cheerful voices and about ten people returned. They each took commemorative photos before leaving, and we thought we could get on right away, but we were told, "You have to wait for one more group to arrive," and we ended up waiting another 30 minutes.
Finally, we started with a family of four from California, but the eldest daughter’s horse wouldn’t move. The instructor, who was at the front of the line, just kept saying to kick its belly. I thought we could have switched horses, or even used my horse from the riding club.
We returned as scheduled, but we could have ridden for another 30 minutes, right? Unlike the previous group, we didn’t get to take commemorative photos, which was a bit disappointing. However, we did give a proper tip. If we participate again, we plan to request a horse that can run.
ワイキキから夫婦で、the busでの参加です。
遅れてはならないと、早めの到着でバス停から10分ほど歩いて到着するも、誰もいない。
柵で囲まれたブースがいくつかあり、馬たちはのんびりと座り込んでいたり、まあのびのびした感じです。
待つこと50分、私たちの予約時間になろうとした頃、きゃっきゃと声が聞こえてきて、10人くらいの皆さんが帰って来た。
そのみなさんがそれぞれ記念撮影などして帰って行き、すぐ乗れるのかと思いきや「もう一組客が来るから待ってて」と言われ、再び待つこと30分。
カリフォルニアから来た4人家族と、やっとスタート。そしたらそこの長女の方が騎乗した馬が動かない。インストラクターのお姉さんは列の先頭にいたまま、お腹を蹴ってとしか言わない。
馬を替えるなり、なんだったら乗馬クラブに通っている私の馬と替えてもいいのに。
そして帰着は予定通りで、もう30分は乗れたんじゃないの?前の組みたいに記念撮影もなく、なんだかなあ。
でも、チップはちゃんとあげました。
もし、再度参加するとしたら、走れる方でお願いしようと話しています。

We were caught in heavy rain right after we started our ride at Hawaii Polo Club, so we couldn't begin horseback riding for a while. After that, the rain lightened up, and we enjoyed riding in the refreshing atmosphere after the rain. However, my daughter's horse suddenly crouched down, perhaps trying to dry off its wet body, which surprised us. Fortunately, the guide responded quickly, and since my daughter was accustomed to riding, she wasn't scared and we were able to start again. It was our first experience like this, and it made us realize that we are riding living creatures, not machines.
There were also small mishaps afterward, but we enjoyed those as well. It was a wonderful experience to take a pleasant walk along the beach with the horse, creating great memories.
私たちが、ハワイポロクラブについてすぐに、大雨に降られしばらく乗馬が始められませんでした、、その後、小雨になり、雨上がりの爽やかな中、快調に乗馬を楽しんでいたら、、娘の乗った馬が濡れた体を乾かそうとしたのか、しゃがみ込んでしまい、びっくりしましたが、ガイドの方が、迅速に対応してくれたのと、娘も、乗馬には慣れていたので怖がることもなく、再びスタートすることが出来ましたが、こう言うことは初めてだったので、びっくりしましたが、改めて、私たちは、機械ではなく、生き物に乗っているんだと実感しました。
その後も、小さなハプニングは、いろいろありましたが、それも楽しめました。
海辺を気持ちよく馬と一緒にお散歩できて、貴重な経験も出来て、いい思い出になりました。

Thank you very much for your help the other day; my family of four had a great time. Before participating in the tour, I thought we would just go to the North and ride horses, but thanks to Hiro's detailed explanations of sightseeing points, time management, and highlights, we learned many things we didn't know before. It turned out to be a very satisfying tour for all four of us. I definitely want to join other tours with Hiro's transportation and guidance as well.
Thank you for a truly enjoyable time.

At Dole, you only have about 30 minutes, so it's best to quickly finish shopping while eating ice cream and take care of restroom needs. If you take your time, you won't get anything done, so it's all about acting swiftly!
When we visited Turtle Beach, it was cloudy, so we couldn't see any turtles, but I've heard that you can usually see them if the weather is nice.
Horseback riding was incredibly fun. They give you a brief verbal explanation of how to ride, but even people in their 70s seemed to enjoy it, so I think it's something anyone can have fun with. Before you ride, they tell you the horse's name, which helps you feel attached, and calling its name or petting it gives a sense of communication.
If you just act normally, it's not dangerous, and the horses are quite gentle. Since you ride through the mountains, I recommend wearing long pants. I saw some young people in shorts, and they got bitten by mosquitoes in several places and had big welts. The ones in pants were unscathed.
At the North Shore, we had lunch (garlic shrimp) and about 45 minutes of free time. When I told the driver I wanted to eat garlic shrimp, he made a reservation, so I was able to buy it quickly. We got lunch boxes, ate outside, and then wrapped up our exploration.
After eating ice cream at Dole and garlic shrimp, there wasn't enough time for shave ice. Since there's a line for shave ice, if you want to eat it, you should either eat the garlic shrimp quickly or have someone stand in line while you eat to make the most of your time.
On the way back, the driver's stories sounded like a lullaby, and I fell into a deep sleep. We returned to Waikiki in about an hour. The horseback riding was with smart horses, so I was able to enjoy a leisurely ride while taking in the scenery, which was truly a great experience.
ドールは滞在時間30分なのでアイスを食べながら買い物を手早く済ませトイレを済ませる感じです。ゆっくりしてると何もできないのでさっさと行動あるのみです!
ウミガメビーチは私たちが行ったときは曇っていたのでウミガメは見れませんでしたが晴れていれば大体見れるそうです。
乗馬はもう最高に楽しいです。最初に乗り方を口頭で伝えられる程度ですが70代の方も楽しんでいらっしゃたので割と誰でも楽しめると思います。
乗る前に馬の名前を教えてくれるので愛着が湧きやすく名前を呼んだり触ったりすると何となく意思の疎通ができる気がします。
普通にしてれば危なくもないしおとなしいと思います。
山の中を乗馬するのでちゃんと長いズボンを履いた方がいいと思います。
若い子がショートパンツを履いていましたが何か所も蚊に刺されて大きく腫れていました。ズボンチームは無傷でした。
ノースショアはお昼ごはん(ガーリックシュリンプ)と45分程度の自由時間でした。
ガーリックシュリンプはドライバーさんに食べたい旨を伝えると予約しておいてくれささっと買えました。ランチボックスをもらい外で食べて散策といった感じで終了。
ドールでアイスを食べガーリックシュリンプを食べるとシェイブアイスは食べれない。。
シェイブアイスは並ぶので食べたい方はガーリックシュリンプはそこそこの早食いか一人並んでる間に食べるとかして時間を有効活用してくださいww
帰りはドライバーさんのお話が子守唄に聞こえ爆睡。1時間程度でワイキキに帰ってこられました。
乗馬は賢い馬なので景色を見ながらゆっくり乗馬できて本当に良い経験ができました。

I experienced this during spring break. My son, who is in the third grade, my niece in her twenties, and I in my forties all took on the challenge together. It was everyone's first time riding a horse, and we were worried about whether we could actually ride, but we were able to smoothly get on the horse from the mounting block.
The instructions were in English, but they used gestures to teach us, so even with zero English skills, we managed just fine. We rode in a line through the grasslands and between the trees, not just on flat ground but also on rocky mountain paths, stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery for about an hour. It was a valuable experience that is hard to come by in Japan.
Although it's quite a distance from Waikiki, it took two hours by bus from Ala Moana Center, and it was worth the effort to get there.
春休みに体験しました。
小学3年生の息子、20代の姪、40代の私の3名で挑戦。ひとりで乗馬はみんな初めてで、馬に乗れるのか…と心配でしたが、台にのった状態から馬にまたがったのでスンナリ乗れました。
説明は英語でしたが、身ぶり手振りで教えてくれたので英語力ゼロでもどうにかなりました。
一列になって草原や木の間、平坦なところだけでなく歩きにくそうな山道を進み途中途中で景色を眺めるために止まりながら約1時間、貴重な体験ができました。日本ではなかなか体験できないのでよかったです。
ワイキキから距離がありますが、アラモアナセンターからバスで2時間、頑張って行った甲斐がありました。

Beach activities are great, but leisurely horseback riding next to Hawaii's beautiful ocean is a precious experience. The view is so good that it really lifted my spirits. However, since you ride for an hour, it can get a bit painful on your backside (laughs). If I could wish for more, it would be that since we only walked, it would be even more fun if we could run. This experience sparked a strong interest in horseback riding for me. By the way, no Japanese is understood at all. All the instructions were in English. However, the horse was very smart and walked and stopped without any signals, so I felt completely at ease.
ビーチアクティビティーも良いですが、ハワイの綺麗な海の横でのんびり乗馬も貴重な体験です。

We participated in the tour after convincing my husband, who wasn't very enthusiastic, that we could ride horses for 45 minutes. At Dole Plantation, we arrived early and bought pineapple ice as soon as it opened, leisurely looking at souvenirs and fresh pineapples. If we had more time, I would have liked to ride the train, but we had to give up after just 30 minutes. During the ride, there were explanations about various sights, including the "This is a tree, that is a tree" and the location of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. We also got a tour of Haleiwa, where we got off at our desired spots and headed to horseback riding after about an hour and a half. We enjoyed visiting CAMARON for garlic shrimp, a red dirt T-shirt shop, SOHO, and other stores. The main horseback riding took us along the coast and through the forest, and we said goodbye to the horses with a bittersweet feeling. On the way back, we finally got to see the Honu at North Shore. My husband was satisfied, and we want to go again.

It takes more than 1 hour and 30 minutes from Waikiki. The 1 hour and 30 minute trail ride had gates every 200 meters, and after opening and closing them, we moved at a brisk pace and then to a gallop, without any worries about the horses running away. The horses also seemed to be stress-free. Along the way, a donkey followed us, and it was adorable. The lady was also very friendly with a lovely smile.

After sightseeing and exploring the North Shore (Haleiwa), we went horseback riding through the valley. At first, the owner, Mark, humorously and carefully explained how to use the reins and how to position ourselves based on the slope of the path. The horses are trained for polo and are all very well-behaved. We navigated up and down, sometimes progressing in a line along quite muddy paths. Leading the way was the staff member, Angel, who provided detailed explanations about the forest, stories of the royal family that once lived in the area, the wild boars that inhabit the region, and even about poisonous mushrooms. While there were moments of tension on the muddy slopes, we felt a strange sense of accomplishment afterward. There were also children in our group, around the middle school age, who enjoyed the horseback riding. A family horseback riding experience will surely become a lifelong memory.

Although our visits to Dole Plantation and Haleiwa were brief, our guide Hiro provided excellent recommendations that allowed us to enjoy the experience efficiently. The beach horseback riding was an event that is hard to experience in Japan, and I felt safe entrusting myself to the well-trained horses. (The horses moved on their own with hardly any instructions.) It was amusing when they strayed off the path to eat grass, which added to the fun.
Overall, the time was limited, giving a busy impression, but we were able to thoroughly enjoy the main horseback riding experience.
While optional tours have the downside of limited flexibility, I often prefer to explore on my own. However, I discovered new things thanks to the guide's navigation, and I gained insights that only a local guide could provide, highlighting the unique benefits of an optional tour. The restaurant that was recommended, in particular, had great food and a lovely atmosphere, and I was very satisfied. Thank you, Hiro!
ドールプランテーションもハレイワも、駆け足での観光でしたが、ガイドのヒロさんがポイントを押さえたお勧めを紹介してくれたので、短いながらも効率よく楽しめました。
海辺乗馬も日本ではなかなか体験できないようなイベントで、よく調教されている馬に安心して身を任せることができます。(ほぼ指示なしで勝手にお馬さんが動いてくれます。) 途中、草を食べに道をそれるのもご愛嬌で、逆にそれも楽しく感じました。
全体的に時間が制限されて忙しいという印象ですが、メインの乗馬だけはじっくり楽しめました。
オプショナルは自由が利かないデメリットがあり、最近は個人で回ることも多かったのですが、ガイドさんの道案内に新たな発見があったり、地元で生活しているガイドさんならではの情報が得られたり、オプショナルならではの良さを実感しました。
特に教えて頂いたレストランは味もお店の雰囲気も良く、満足しました。ヒロさん、ありがとうございました!

風が気持ち良く、景色もとても綺麗で楽しかったです。馬たちもみんなのんびりしていました。

I participated on March 8, 2017.
I wanted to ride along the coast, so I rented a car and went to the North Shore. There were some online warnings about it being hard to find, but it was well-marked on Google and the rental car's navigation system, so I had no trouble once I got close. However, it's definitely tough without a rental car.
Our club is located in a corner of a spacious polo field, and the horses were relaxed, providing a much more open atmosphere compared to Japan.
After showing our voucher, we set off with two teenage girls and a total of four people plus one staff member. The saddles were Western-style, which I wasn't used to, but the horses were really calm. The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, and the breeze felt great—it was the perfect outdoor ride.
However, the customer service felt a bit indifferent, and I got the impression that they weren't very accustomed to dealing with customers. I also wished we could have done a bit more trotting and cantering.
I recommend this for anyone who wants to enjoy a leisurely ride along the coast (beginners are absolutely welcome).

海岸沿いを馬に乗りたくてノースショアにレンタカーを借りていく際に
こちらに行ってきました
わかりづらいというネットの前情報がありましたが、googleでもレンタカーの
カーナビにもしっかり乗っていて、実際に近くを通ればすぐ分かったので
場所の心配は不要です。ただし、レンタカーが無いとキツイのは確かですが。
広いポロの競技場の片隅にある当クラブは
馬たちがのびのびとしていて、日本と違ってゆったりとした空間でした
バウチャーを見せて、10代の女性2人と合計4人+1人(staff)で出発
鞍はウエスタンなので慣れませんでしたが、馬は本当に大人しくて
天気も曇り時々晴れ、風は気持ち良くて最高の外乗でした
ただ接客は少し素っ気ない感じであまり客対応になれていない印象を受けました。
後は駆歩や早歩が少しできればよかったなと。笑
★ゆったり海岸沿いを外乗したい方(初心者でも全く問題なしです)にはお勧めです

I participated with my mother. The local guide provided deep insights into Hawaii's history and current social issues, which was very informative. Since the guide recommended some great shops on the North Shore in advance, I think we made effective use of our time, even though lunch was within an hour. We went horseback riding for nearly an hour along the beach, and the scenery was beautiful, plus the horses were adorable, so we were very satisfied. There were quite a few elderly people as well, so I believe horseback riding is accessible regardless of age.
母と2人で参加しました。現地のガイドの方はハワイの歴史や現在の社会問題などとても深く切り込んでお話してくださり、とてもためになりました。
ノースショアのオススメのお店を予めガイドさんに教えて頂いたので、ランチは1時間以内でしたが、時間を有効活用できたと思います。
乗馬は1時間近く海辺を散歩したのですが、景色もよく馬も可愛いので大満足でした。高齢の方も結構いらっしゃったので、年齢に関係なく乗馬できると思います。

We are a family of five. My wife and I (over 60), our two sons, and our daughter are all adults, but we were nervous about our first horseback riding experience. However, seeing a child around seven years old riding before us made us feel at ease. The location has a sign on the left side of Route 83, and if you turn left, it's right there. You can also see the ranch along the road. The office is the meeting place, but there are no signs inside the ranch, so we went towards the back where there was a building, and we found a small office in a place with a few parked cars. There was no permanent staff, and after the previous riding group returned, the guide helped us with the check-in. During the one-hour ride, we climbed hills and maneuvered through trees, and everyone was satisfied. It was okay to ride with a small shoulder bag or pouch. Unfortunately, there was no horseback riding by the beach.
家族5人です。妻と私(60歳以上)・息子2人・娘1人全員大人ですが初乗馬ドキドキしていましたが、1組前に7歳くらいの子供が乗っていたのを見て安心しました。場所はルート83の左側に案内看板があり左折すればすぐです。道路沿いにも牧場が見えます。オフイスが集合場所となっていますが、牧場内に案内看板はなく、とりあえず建物がある奥へ行き、数台駐車している場所があったので行くと、そこに小さな小屋のようなオフイスがありました。常設の係員はいなく、前の乗馬組が戻ってからそのガイドの方が受付をしてくれました。1時間の乗馬で牧場内の丘を登ったり、木の間をすり抜けたりみんな満足していました。小さなショルダーバック・ポーチはつけたままでも乗馬OKでした。残念ながら海辺の乗馬はありませんでした。

I achieved my goal, but something felt lacking. I was just too busy to savor the moment. It's not suitable for those who want to take their time.
目的は達成できたけど、何か物足りなかったです。とにかく忙しすぎて余韻に浸るヒマもない。
ゆっくり過ごしたい方には不向きです。

Honestly, there wasn't enough time to enjoy North Shore with a tight schedule... However, I think we managed to visit some famous spots like enjoying delicious garlic shrimp and stopping by Dole Plantation. The horseback riding was great too, as the weather was nice, allowing us to enjoy the scenery while taking a leisurely stroll. The staff was friendly, and I was very satisfied being able to hold the reins and ride freely. ^^
ノースショアは正直、タイトなスケジュールで楽しむ程の時間もありません…ですが、美味しいガーリックシュリンプを食べたりドールプランテーションに寄ったりと有名どころは回れたのかなと思います。
乗馬は天気が良かったこともあり、景色を楽しみながらお散歩ができました。スタッフの方もフレンドリーで、自分で手綱を握って自由にできたので大満足でした^^

Our guides we're very sweet and helpful with guidance, I thought we would have more time to ride on the beach but it was very short towards the end. It's more of a quick trail ride on the forest area with a view of the beach, but obviously that's not the guides fault. Great for a first time experience!
