All Reviews for Horseback Riding Tours

This time, I wanted to try going to North Shore, and I was considering adding various options, but it was the right choice to stick to sightseeing only. I had plenty of time for shopping and enjoyed tasting food from various shops little by little. I recommend it for those who want to relax in one place!

今回はノースシュアに行ってみたくて、いろいろなオプションも付けようかと迷いましたが、観光のみにして正解でした。時間までたっぷり買い物、ご飯も食べ歩きのようにいろんな店でちょっとずつ堪能することもできました。一つの場所でゆっくりしたい方にはオススメです！

Thank you for your assistance this time.
I suddenly decided to book a tour just two days later. I appreciate how kindly you responded to my last-minute request.
Everyone in our group was a beginner at horseback riding, and we had an 11-year-old child and a 73-year-old mother with us, so I was a bit anxious. However, they explained how to ride in detail beforehand, and surprisingly, it went quite smoothly! It was incredibly fun.
Above all, our guide, Kazuchan, was very kind! Thank you very much!
I will definitely book an optional tour with you again next time.

この度はお世話になりました。
急に思い立ち、2日後のツアーを申し込みました。その後こちらの無理な依頼にも親切に対応して下さって感謝しています。
全員乗馬は初心者で、11歳の子供と73歳になる母もいましたので少し不安はありましたが、乗り方も事前に詳しく教えてくれましたので、案外スムーズに乗れました！最高に楽しかったです。
何よりガイドのかずちゃんさんがとても親切でした！ありがとうございました！
また次回もこちらの方でオプショナルツアーを申し込みます。

The driver's explanation was easy to understand, and I had a fun horseback riding experience! It was a very fulfilling day. Thank you very much. Next time, I would like to participate in the canyon tour! Places I visited:

I have experienced horseback riding three times. Of those, two times were at the Kualoa Ranch. Riding through the mountains and grasslands felt great, but I really wanted to ride along the beach in Hawaii. This time, none of the owners (the representatives) spoke Japanese. Just before we started, there was a severe thunderstorm, and they communicated with us using a translation app on their smartphones to decide whether to cancel or not, keeping an eye on the situation until the time came. When the rain eased up a bit, we began our ride. Once we started walking, we were greeted with a stunning blue sky. Our wet horses and our clothes dried completely, and we were able to enjoy a leisurely ride. By the way, there is no shuttle service, so we rented a car to get there. As everyone mentioned, the entrance is a bit hard to find.

乗馬は3回体験済み
その内、2回はクアロアランチの牧場内での乗馬
山の中や草原の乗馬も気持ち良かったけれど、やっぱりハワイはビーチ沿いをライドしたくて
今回はこちらで、オーナーさん(代表の方)？達は皆さん日本語が話せる方が誰も居なく
そして、直前まで雷雨が凄く中止にするかどうかをスマホの翻訳アプリを駆使しながらやりとりをしてくれて
時間まで様子見
雨が少し収まってきたところで乗馬開始
歩き始めたら見事なほどの青空
ビショビショだったお馬さんと私達の服もすっかり乾いてのんびりと乗馬をする事が出来ました。
因みに、送迎は無いので私達はレンタカーを借りて行きました。皆さん書いていたように入り口は少し分かりづらいです

The horseback riding experience was very enjoyable. Since I was a beginner, I thought the duration was just right. Additionally, because of the horseback riding experience, I feel that if I had a bit more time, I could have enjoyed shopping in Haleiwa even more. Thank you very much.

乗馬体験は、大変楽しかったです。初心者でしたので時間もちょうどよいと思いました。なお、乗馬体験があったため、ハレイワの町散策は、もう少し時間があれば、よりショッピングを楽しめたか思います。ありがとうございました。

Last year, I participated in a tour with VELTRA during my trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, and it was so great that I decided to book again this time. At the request of my friend who accompanied me, we chose horseback riding. Since I had already experienced horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, we opted for the beach horseback riding this time. I was told that beach horseback riding is recommended during this season as it is less affected by the weather compared to valley riding. On the way there, it started to rain, which made me worry, but while we were outside, we didn't need to use umbrellas and were able to fully enjoy the horseback riding. We even got to see sea turtles. Unlike the horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, there isn't a place to store your belongings, so it's recommended to carry a bag for valuables that you can take with you while riding. When using a tour again, I will definitely use VELTRA.

昨年のハワイ島旅行の時にもVELTRAさんのツアーに参加し、とても良かったので、今回も申し込みさせて頂きました。
同行した友人のリクエストで乗馬を選択、クアロアランチ乗馬は経験済みだったので、こちらの海辺乗馬にしました。
この季節は渓谷乗馬より海辺乗馬が天候に左右されづらくお勧めとのこと。行きの車の中では雨が降ってきて心配しましたが、外に出ている間は傘をさすこともなく、乗馬も満喫できました。
ウミガメにも会うことができました。
クアロアランチの乗馬と違って、荷物を預けるところがないので、貴重品バッグは乗馬しながら持てるものがお勧めです。
ツアー利用の際には、またVELTRAさんを利用させて頂きます。

I made a reservation for the horseback riding experience at 5 PM the night before, and there were no issues at all! I apologize for the significant delay in our arrival due to traffic. Fortunately, it seems there were no other participants besides us, and the guide welcomed us with a smile. (They greeted us without any sign of displeasure.) Thank you.

It was my first horseback riding experience, and the horses were well-trained, making it safe for beginners to ride. The guide kept the conversation going, and we had a great time chatting and enjoying the scenery throughout the ride.

You can bring your phone, so you can take photos along the way!

Thank you for the wonderful time! ^ ^

１７時の乗馬体験を前日の深夜に予約しましたが何の問題もありませんでした！
また、渋滞にはまり大幅に到着時間が遅れ本当にご迷惑をおかけしました。
幸い私たち以外の参加者はいなかったようで、ガイドさんが笑顔で受付をしてくれました。
（嫌な顔一つせずに迎え入れてくれましたm(_ _)m）
ありがとう。

初めて乗馬体験をしましたが、初心者でも安心して乗れるように調教されており、安心して馬に乗ることができました。
ずっとガイドさんが話題を振ってくれて、終始楽しくおしゃべりしながら、また景色を見ながら楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

携帯の持ち込みは可能なので、道中写真を撮ることが出来ます！

楽しい時間をありがとうございました^ ^

I got caught in a huge traffic jam, but it turned out to be a satisfying tour. I felt that it would have been nice if we had about 30 more minutes at the Dole Plantation and Haleiwa Town. Although I couldn't see any sea turtles at Alii Beach, I was glad to encounter one during the horseback riding experience. Perhaps because of the heavy traffic? The horseback riding was a private experience for my husband and me, which was really lucky. The horses were calm, so I felt safe riding them, and the time flew by. If I have the chance, I would like to join this tour again.

大渋滞に巻き込まれましたが満足なツアーとなりました。
ドールプランテーションやハレイワタウンはあと30分くらいずつ時間が長ければ嬉しいなと感じました。
アリービーチではウミガメを見ることは出来ませんでしたが、乗馬体験時にウミガメと遭遇することが出来て良かったです。
大渋滞のおかげか？乗馬体験は夫婦で貸し切り状態で凄くラッキーでした。
馬も大人しくて安心して乗れたし、あとっと言う間の時間でした。
また機会があればこのツアーに参加したいです。

In September, I participated with my family of three. I thought the sun would be strong during the day, so I made a reservation to match the sunset time. Before the horseback riding, the staff provides an explanation in English, but I think you can understand the atmosphere of the conversation just by watching their gestures. This time, there was one female staff member accompanying the three of us and one foreign woman, and we leisurely progressed along the coast and grassy areas. As I had heard, the horse would stop and eat grass along the way, but I think that, including those moments, it’s an activity you can enjoy and laugh about. Listening to the quiet sound of the waves, we were able to spend a pleasant time in a relaxed mood. Since it is away from Waikiki, I recommend this program if you have some flexibility in your schedule.

9月に家族3人で参加しました。日中は日差しが強いと思い、サンセットの時間に合わせて申し込みました。乗馬前にスタッフから英語で説明がありますが、ゼスチャーを見れば、話の雰囲気で何とか理解できると思います。今回は私たち3人と外人女性1名に女性スタッフが1名付いて、のんびりと海岸や草地を進む感じでした。聞いていた通り、途中で、馬が止まったり、草を食べたりしますが、それも含めて、笑って楽しめるアクティビティだと思います。静かな波の音を聞きながら、ゆったりした気分で、気持ちいい時間を過ごすことができました。ワイキキからは離れているので、スケジュールに余裕のある場合、お勧めのプログラムです。

I was searching for horseback riding experiences and was drawn to this plan because it offered a walk by the seaside. I was able to get there without getting lost using the rental car's navigation system. The local staff spoke only English, but there were Japanese instructions for horseback riding, and they also demonstrated with gestures, so even my elementary school-aged child could understand. It was a very sunny day, but the sea breeze was refreshing and felt great. While walking along the coast, I was told to look for sea turtles, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any. The horses were very well-behaved, walking slowly in a line. It was about an hour and a half walk; since I wasn't used to it, my backside got a little sore towards the end, but it was definitely a satisfying experience. I would love to repeat it if I have the chance again.

乗馬体験で検索していたところ、海辺を散歩できるというところに惹かれ、こちらのプランに参加しました。レンタカーのナビで迷わず行けました。現地のお姉さんは英語オンリーですが、日本語の乗馬の注意書きがあったり、デモンストレーションも身振り手振りしてくれたりしたので、小学生の子供でも理解できました。とても日差しの強い日でしたが、海辺の風はさわやかで気持ちが良かったです。海岸を歩いているとき、ウミガメを探してみて！と言われましたが、残念ながら見ることはできませんでした。馬たちはとてもおりこうさんで、一列に並んでゆっくり歩いてくれました。1時間半ほどのお散歩、慣れていないので最後はちょっとお尻が痛くなりましたが、十分満足できる内容でした。また機会があったらリピートしたいです。

The weather was great.
I participated during winter break last year.
It felt like rice planting.
After all, it's summer vacation.
Our guide, Kaz, is on his third time.
He takes good care of us and is the best.

天気も最高。
去年は冬休みに参加。
田植えみたいだった。
やっぱり、夏休みだね。
案内人のカズさんは三回目。
面倒見が良くて、最高です。

After a long time, I went horseback riding in Oahu. Unlike the famous Kualoa Ranch, it wasn't crowded here. If you don't need a helmet, you just need to sign a waiver. There are staff members who can speak Japanese, but since my daughter can speak English, we started the ride right away.

During the hour and a half horseback ride, we climbed hills from the 1,000-acre ranch, and the staff took photos of us with the ocean in the background. They seemed to have no commercial intent, as they took pictures with our smartphones.

Additionally, we could attach a pouch to the horse, allowing us to carry water and our smartphones, so we could freely drink water and take photos during the ride. It was a wonderful experience.

久しぶりにオワフでホースライド。
ここは、有名なクアロア牧場と違って混雑していませんでした。ヘルメット不要ならば署名すればOK。日本語が通じるスタッフはいるらしいのですが、娘も英会話ができるのでそのままライドスタート。
1時間半のホースライドでは、1,000エーカーの牧場から丘を登り、そこでスタッフが海をバックに写真を撮ってくれます。商売っ気が無いのか、こちらのスマホで撮影してくれます。
また、馬にポーチをつけられるので、水やスマホを入れてホースライド中も自由に水を飲んだり、スマホで撮影したりできてとてもいい時間を過ごせました。

I participated in a tour that allowed my mother, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, to enjoy the streets of Haleiwa, garlic shrimp, horseback riding, and more all at once. Our guide, Masa, shared interesting stories, and the comfortable car ride made it a delightful experience for both my mother and my elementary school-aged nieces. I was worried because previous reviews mentioned that there wasn't enough time for lunch, but our guide took our request for garlic shrimp in advance and made a reservation, so we were able to enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace. If I could be a bit greedy, I would have loved to explore Haleiwa for another 15 minutes.

ハワイ初来訪の母にハレイワの街並みやガーリックシュリンプ、乗馬などを一度に楽しめるツアーを探して今回参加しました。
ガイドのマサさんのお話も興味深く、楽チンな車での移動で母も小学生の姪っ子達も大満喫してくれました。
以前の口コミでは「ランチを食べる時間が少ない」とあったので心配していましたが、事前にガイドさんがガーリックシュリンプのリクエストを聞いて予約してくれたので、ゆっくり食べることが出来ました。贅沢を言えば、あと15分くらいハレイワ散策出来たらうれしいです。

The explanation provided by the Japanese guide was very helpful. Since it was my first time visiting Haleiwa, I appreciated learning about the sightseeing points and riding precautions in advance. The sightseeing information shared during the shuttle ride was also very informative, with many things I had not known before. The horseback riding itself was enjoyable, and my children (ages 6 and 8) were able to ride independently and said they had a lot of fun. The 6-year-old was being led by a rope at the front, which made it reassuring as the horse did not stray to the side.

日本人ガイドの方の事前の説明がとても参考になりました。
ハレイワ観光も初めてだったので短時間での観光のポイントや、乗馬での注意点もあらかじめ教えてもらえてよかったです。
送迎車内の観光案内も初めて知ったことも多くてためになりました。
乗馬自体は子ども（6歳8歳）も一人で乗れてとても楽しかったと言っていました。
6歳は先頭の方に綱で引いてもらっており、馬が横に逸れたりしないので安心でした。

Fourth time horseback riding in the canyon✨
I participated again without hesitation. It's a mother-daughter trip✨
"Fourth Tour Highlights"
① The horses are still adorable
② The ranch owner, Mark, is as kind as ever.
③ KOJI is attentive as always
④ Haleiwa Town is still charming
⑤ I got to eat garlic shrimp.

Long sleeves and long pants are a must (something you can throw away)
Take photos with your phone!
We will stop by Dole Plantation. I always think it's unnecessary, but we need to take a restroom break.
Heading to Haleiwa Town. We have 30 minutes to stay. Take photos with angel wings, and then off to horseback riding in the canyon…
★ Please make sure to listen to the guide's horseback riding instructions★
Even though it was my fourth time, I got distracted by the cuteness of the horses and became careless when getting on.
If you follow the instructions, there’s absolutely no problem for beginners.
Riding the horses into the canyon✨ You can ride in Japan, but nothing compares to climbing up and down the canyon and getting a panoramic view of Waimea.

On the way back, we went to Haleiwa Town again… ate garlic shrimp, bought vintage coffee, and saw some turtles at Alii Beach before heading back✨

I think the trip to Hawaii is expensive, and the tours are pricey, but it's worth it.

Thank you!

渓谷乗馬４回目✨
懲りずにまた参加しました。母娘の二人旅です✨
「４回目のツアーポイント」
①お馬さんが相変わらず可愛い
②牧場のオーナー「マークさん」相変わらず優しい。
③ＫOJＩさんがきめ細やか
④ハレイワタウンが相変わらず魅力的
⑤ガーリックシュリンプが食べられた。

長袖、長ズボンは必須(捨てても良いもの)
写真は携帯で！
Doleプランテーションに立ち寄ります。毎度要らないと思いますがトイレ休憩する必要があります。
ハレイワタウンへ向かいます。滞在時間30分です。天使の羽で写真をとり、渓谷乗馬へ…
★ガイドさんの乗馬に関する注意事項は必ず聞いて下さい★
４回目、聞いてたにも関わらず馬の可愛さに気を取られて乗るとき適当になってしまいました。
注意事項を守れば初心者でも全く問題ありません。
いざ、お馬さんに乗り渓谷へ✨日本でも乗馬は出来ますが一緒に渓谷を登り下りてワイメアを一望できるのは比になりません。

帰り再びハレイワタウンへ…ガーリックシュリンプを食べて、ヴィンテージコーヒーを購入してアリイビーチで亀さんを少し見て帰ってきました✨

ハワイ旅行自体金額が高いしツアーも高いですが価値があるものと私は思います。

ありがとうございました！

We all had a great time on the 1.5-hour course. My 9 and 11-year-old kids initially looked a bit anxious, but they got used to it and were very happy along the way. My mother, who is in her late 50s, was also satisfied. The course involved climbing up and down the mountain. Along the way, we had a nice view of the sea. The staff's explanations were in English, but it wasn't a problem at all.

1.5時間コースで家族みんなで楽しめました。
9才と11才の子供達が、最初は不安そうな顔をしてたけど、途中から慣れてきてとても喜んでいました。
50代後半の母も満足していました。
山を登って降りてというコース。
途中、海が見えていい景色でした。
スタッフの方の説明は英語でしたが、問題なかったです。

Every year, my husband and I visit Hawaii. We usually rent a car and go to Kailua and the North Shore, but this time we decided to try an optional tour. The guide provided various explanations and recommended a fantastic lunch spot, making it more enjoyable than we expected. The shrimp place he recommended was the best I've ever had! Thank you, Kaz, our guide!

毎年夫婦でハワイ来てます。いつもはレンタカーしてカイルアやノースショアに行きますが、今回はオプショナルツアーにチャレンジしてみました。ガイドの方が色々説明してくれたり、イチオシのランチスポット教えてくれたりと予想以上に楽しめました。教えていただいたシュリンプ屋さんは今までで1番美味しかったです(*^_^*)
ガイドのカズさん、ありがとうございました！

I came to celebrate my birthday and also have a Romantic tour with my boyfriend. The workers were polite and I loved the horses! We enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend to others to go. Lollipop ( my horse ) a perfect fit for me!

We rode horses in a line, five family members together in the great outdoors. It felt like a scene from a movie and was truly moving. Our 6-year-old child rode a regular horse at the front, guided by a staff member. The other participants walked alone without staff assistance, but the horses were well-trained and followed the horse in front of them properly. However, since the sun was strong, 20 minutes was just the right amount of time. I recommend this experience for families with small children as well as for grandparents!

大自然の中を馬に乗って家族５人1列に並んで歩きました。映画のワンシーンのようで感動でした。
6歳の子どもも普通の馬に乗り、一番前でスタッフが引っ張ってくれます。その他の人はスタッフは付かず一人で歩きますが、お馬さんがしつけられていて前の馬の後をきちんとついて歩きます。
ただ日差し強いので20分でちょうど良かったです。
小さいお子さん連れにもおじいちゃんとおばあちゃん連れにもオススメします！

Kazu-san, a Japanese guide, joyfully showed us various attractions in Honolulu from the car window from the start of our trip. After a restroom break at the Dole Plantation, we enjoyed delicious, plump garlic shrimp at Giovanni's Shrimp Truck in Haleiwa, which Kazu-san had reserved for us. After that, we went shopping at Happy Haleiwa and the Snoopy Surf Shop in Haleiwa. Kazu-san kindly explained how to ride a horse during our travels, so there were no issues with the English instructions for horseback riding. Twelve of us rode in a line through the woods and along the beach. We were able to enjoy horseback riding while being blown by the pleasant sea breeze and taking in the beautiful coastline. On the way back, we drove along the east coast to avoid traffic. We passed by Kualoa Ranch and took a coffee break at a Kona coffee farm. In the city, we were specially taken through Chinatown, Downtown, and Kaka'ako, allowing us to enjoy the sights from the car window. Thank you, Kazu-san! I would love to enjoy horseback riding in Hawaii again.

日本人のkazuさんが、出発からホノルル市内の色々な名所を車窓から楽しく案内して下さいました。トイレ休憩のドールプランテーションの後、kazuさんが予約して下さったハレイワタウンのジョバンニ・シュリンプ・トラック・ハレイワでぷりぷりの美味しいガーリックシュリンプに舌鼓。その後ハレイワタウンでハッピーハレイワ、スヌーピーサーフショップでお買い物。乗馬の乗り方は移動中にkazuさんが丁寧に説明して下さいましたので、乗馬の英語での説明は問題がありませんでした。12人が一列になってぽくぽく林を抜けて海辺を乗馬。美しい海岸線を見ながら心地良い潮風に吹かれて乗馬を楽しむ事が出来ました。帰り道は、渋滞を避けて東海岸線をドライブ。クアロアランチを通り、コナコーヒーファームでコーヒーブレイク。市内は、チャイナタウン、ダウンタウン、カカアコタウンに特別に通って下さり車窓から楽しむことができました。kazuさん、ありがとうございました！またハワイで乗馬を楽しみたいです。

My stay in Haleiwa was short due to the weekend crowds, traffic, and construction, but I was able to enjoy garlic shrimp and do some quick shopping, and horseback riding was truly amazing! I want to go again. I received explanations in Japanese from our guide, Kaz, about how to ride and the names and personalities of the horses, so even as a beginner, I was able to comfortably see many turtles swimming from horseback. On the way back, we avoided traffic by returning via the Kualoa area, allowing us to see the magnificent scenery and landmarks, and we also stopped by a macadamia nut farm. Kaz introduced us to downtown Waikiki, murals, and Ala Moana Beach from the car window, providing great value for the price. Kaz, our guide, was very accommodating to my elderly father, who has difficulty walking, and I found him to be much more polite and kind than other reviews suggested. For those who want to leisurely enjoy exploring Haleiwa, I recommend avoiding crowded days and opting for a tour focused solely on the town.

土日の混雑と渋滞、工事の都合でハレイワの滞在は短かったですが、ガーリックシュリンプを食べてササッと買い物もできたし、乗馬は本当に最高でした！また行きたいです。ガイドのカズさんから日本語で乗り方の説明と馬の名前・性格も聞いていたので初心者でも余裕で馬上からカメが泳ぐ姿がたくさん見れました。帰りは渋滞を避けた分、クアロア方面から帰ってくれたので、雄大な景色や名所を見たり、マカダミアナッツファームにも寄れ、ワイキキでダウンタウンや壁画、アラモアナビーチも車窓からですが紹介してもらい、お値段以上の満足度でした。ガイドのカズさんは高齢で足の悪い父にも色々と融通してくれ、他の方の評価よりも全然丁寧で親切な方だと思いました。ハレイワ散策をゆっくり満喫したい方は混雑する曜日を避け、街だけのツアーをお勧めします。

Everyone was very kind, and we had a great time as a family. We got completely soaked in a sudden downpour, and it turned into a funny story as we bought clothes at Patagonia on the way home! Next time, I want to come back for a sunny day revenge!

とても親切で家族で楽しめました。
突然の豪雨に笑いが止まらないほどびしょ濡れで、帰りにパタゴニアで、服を買って帰るような笑い話！
今度は、晴天でリベンジしたい！

I wanted to experience horseback riding in Hawaii, and after comparing it with other riding clubs, I chose this one because it was close to the center of the North Shore. I took an Uber, but I think I made a mistake with the pin placement and initially arrived at the neighboring building, which made me anxious. A kind driver and the people next door helped me get to the correct building!

Before riding, you receive a briefing from the staff. Everything is in English, but there is a Japanese explanation in the waiting room, so it's not a problem if you can't understand English. The horses are smart, cute, and accustomed to people.

During the ride, a staff member led the way, and we had a mix of sturdy horses, unique horses, and those with hearty appetites. The horse in the middle seemed to be the cute surprise element! We enjoyed the scenery as we alternated between walking along the North Shore coastline and through the forest. It was my first time walking by the sea on horseback, and I was thrilled.

Since it was a leisurely stroll, those who want to gallop might find it a bit lacking. However, riding such smart and adorable horses while occasionally feeling the North Shore breeze is fantastic! On the way back along the coast, the staff member took photos for us with our smartphones. All the staff were very kind.

A note of caution: the time we visited was unusually humid for Hawaii, so it felt extremely hot. It's better to hydrate before and after riding, so bringing drinks or buying them at a supermarket in the North Shore is advisable. There are no supermarkets around the ranch. (They were selling carbonated drinks in the waiting room, but water was sold out.)

I called an Uber for the return trip, but it's a spot where Wi-Fi is hard to connect. You need to walk a little to a place with signal. Don't panic; it will work out! Make sure to keep your Wi-Fi and smartphone charged! Prepare in advance!

There are restrooms available. I was worried because I read reviews saying there were none, but there are restrooms. However, they are portable toilets like those found at construction sites or outdoor festivals. Since there are no shops around, I thought it was worth mentioning for those who might be concerned about restroom access.

You cannot ride with large luggage (you can leave your belongings in the waiting room, which has surveillance cameras, so it's safe), so it's a good idea to have one person carry a smartphone (to use when taking photos with the staff by the seaside). In that case, a body bag or waist pouch that doesn't hinder riding would be convenient!

ハワイで乗馬体験がしたくて、他の乗馬クラブとも比較した結果、車でノースショアの中心部から近かったこちらにしました。
ウーバーで行きましたがピンの立て方を間違えたのか最初はお隣の建物に着き、焦りました。親切なドライバーさんとお隣さんが、こちらの建物まで無事にアテンドしてくれました！
乗馬前はスタッフからレクチャーを受けられます。全て英語ですが、待合室で日本語の解説があるので英語が聞き取れなくても問題ありません。
馬たちはお利口さんで可愛くて、人に慣れています。
道中は、スタッフのお姉さんが先頭になり、よりしっかりした馬、個性的な馬、食欲旺盛な馬、しっかりした馬の順番でした。真ん中に配置された馬は可愛いハプニング要員だったみたいです^_^
ノースショアの海岸沿いと森の中を交互に散歩する感じで景色を楽しめました。海沿いを馬と歩くなんて人生初なので感激しました。
終始、お散歩なので駆け足をしたい方は物足りないかもしれません。

でも賢くてかわいい馬に乗せてもらって、ノースショアの風を時折感じられるのは最高です！
帰り道の海岸沿いで、お姉さんにスマホで写真も撮ってもらえます。スタッフのお姉さん達は皆さん親切な人でした。

注意点として
私達の行った時期が、ハワイにしては多湿だったので体感温度はめちゃくちゃ暑かったです。乗る前後に水分補給した方がよいので、飲み物は持参もしくは、ノースショアのスーパーで買ってきた方がベターです。牧場なので周囲にスーパーはありません。（こちらの待合室で炭酸系のジュースは販売してましたが、お水は売り切れていました）

帰りもウーバーを呼びましたが、Wi-Fiが入りにくい場所です。電波の届くところまでほんのちょっとだけ歩きます。何とかなるので慌てずに！
Wi-Fi、スマホの充電は切らさないように！事前に準備を！

トイレはあります。口コミでトイレがないとあり不安でしたが、ありました。ただし、工事現場や野外フェスティバルにあるような仮設トイレです。
周囲にお店がないのでトイレの心配する人がいるかもしれないと思ったので情報として入れておきます。

大きな荷物で乗馬することはできない（荷物は待合室に置いておけます、監視カメラが付いてるので大丈夫）ので、スマホ（海辺でスタッフさんに撮影してもらう時に使う）を持ち歩く人を一名は作るといいと思います。その際はボディバッグやウエストポーチ等、乗馬の妨げにならないショルダーバッグがあると便利ですよ！

When we were riding horses, the four of us were quite excited. However, by the time we finished riding and returned, everyone seemed tired. My father and husband, who just turned 70, got off the horse saying their knees hurt and walked in a rather strange way. My 9-year-old and 10-year-old daughters and my nephew simply said they were sleepy.

As I listened to them, it seemed they felt sleepy because they were walking at the same pace through similar scenery. Additionally, the uncles were in the same position and at the same pace, which seemed to have taken a toll on their legs and back. They mentioned that the horseback riding experience on the Big Island of Hawaii was better. What a shame...

馬乗った時は興奮気味の4人でした。
しかし、乗馬が終わり戻ってきた時には、みんな疲れている感じでした。
70歳を迎えた父と夫は、膝が痛い！といいながら馬からおりてなんか不思議な歩き方を。
9歳と10歳の娘と甥っ子は、眠かった、、と一言。

話を聞いていると、同じような景色ばかりの中を同じペースでパカパカ歩くので、眠かったようです。また、おじさんたちは同じ姿勢で同じペースで、、ということで足腰にきていたようです。
以前体験した、ハワイ島の乗馬の方がいいわ、、ということでした。
残念。。。

Since my youngest daughter, who is 3 years old, also wanted to experience horseback riding like her older sister, I assumed it would be a pony riding experience and made the reservation. However, among the horses lined up for the riding experience, there were no ponies. I thought they might be preparing them, but instead, everyone was riding horses of similar size... Let's ride!!

After the experience, we got to brush the horse's fur and feed them, and that was the end of it. It seems like she had a lot of fun.

乗馬体験同じように、下の娘3歳も体験したいとのことだったので、ポニー乗馬体験、 と思い込んで申し込み。
乗馬体験の馬が並んでいる中に、ポニーがいない。今から準備かな？と思っていたら、みんな同じような大きさの馬に…Let's riding!!
体験後は、くしで馬の毛をとかしてもらい、エサを与えさせてもらい、終了でした。
とても楽しかったみたいです。

I have experienced beginner horseback riding in various countries, and I chose this one because of the seaside course. On the way there and back, a Japanese-speaking driver guided us along the route. The explanations on-site were in English, but it wasn't too difficult, and the people were friendly, making for an enjoyable time. There were also others who brought their own horses and some who were swimming in the sea. Since it was by the seaside, there were no risky areas like mountain paths where you might fall off, and with fewer weeds along the road, we could ride smoothly while enjoying the sea breeze.

各国で初心者乗馬を体験していますが、海辺のコースということで、こちらを選びました。行き帰りは、日本語ドライバーさんが、通り道の案内込みで移動させてくれます。現地では、英語での説明ですが、それほど苦労なく、フランクな方々で、楽しく過ごせました。ここでは、他にマイホースを連れてきていたり、海水浴をしている方々もいました。海辺ということで、山道のような落馬しそうな個所もなく、道端の草も少ないため道草も少なく、海風に吹かれながら、颯爽？と乗馬ができました。

In Japan, I was able to immerse myself in the magnificent nature, forgetting the time while feeling the pleasant sunlight and breeze. It was an incredibly happy time, and my mother, who joined me, was very satisfied as well. My father, an experienced rider, participated in the advanced course and was also thrilled with horseback riding in Hawaii's stunning nature. Most importantly, I was overjoyed to see my 2-year-old son experience horseback riding for the first time during the 20-minute introductory course, which made me feel his growth. My wife, who had said she might ride if our son couldn't, ultimately didn't get to ride, but she was satisfied watching our son on the horse. Thanks to the very friendly staff, we had the best time.

日本では身を置くことができない雄大な自然の中で、時間を忘れて気持ちの良い日差しと風を感じることができました。それはとにかく幸せな時間で、一緒に参加した母も大満足でした。また、経験者である父が上級者コースに参加しましたが、父もハワイの雄大な自然の中での乗馬に大満足していましたし、何と言っても20分の体験コースで生まれて初めて乗馬を体験した2才の息子の姿を見て、成長を感じられたことが何よりも嬉しかったです。息子が乗れなかったら乗ればいいかなと言っていた妻は、結果的に乗ることができませんでしたが、息子の乗馬姿に満足していましたし、とっても感じの良いスタッフのおかげで最高の時間を過ごすことができました。

I had some experience with horseback riding in Japan (it usually lasts about 10 minutes depending on the price), but here I was able to ride for a longer time (about 40 minutes) and basically guided the horse myself, which was fun (^O^). The horse was really smart, so even my second grader was fine! Additionally, we were able to go sightseeing in the town of Haleiwa along the way (this part was mixed with horseback riding and included a meal, so it was quite rushed at about 1 hour (^o^;), but there was also a separate course just for sightseeing). We also had a great encounter with sea turtles, which you can see with high probability!!!

乗馬は日本でも経験は有りましたが(料金によるけど大体10分未満位？)、それよりもっと長い時間乗馬(約40分)出来、基本的には自分でお馬さん誘導して楽しい(^O^)。お馬は凄く賢いのでうちの小２の子供でも大丈夫でした！。また、途中でハレイワの町観光にも行けました(こっちは乗馬とミックスすると食事込みで約1時間だったから凄く駆け足(^o^;)、別コースで観光のみも有りました)また、高確率て遭遇出来る海亀にもしっかり出会えました！！！

The guide talked a lot about Hawaii while we were in the car! The horseback riding was wonderful; I was a bit scared at first, but my horse was very gentle and walked slowly ahead. The staff chooses each horse based on compatibility with the rider. Some horses seemed to be struggling because they just wanted to eat grass! Riding while looking at the ocean is something you can't experience in Japan, so I definitely recommend trying it!

車の中でガイドさんがハワイのこと色々と話してくれました！
乗馬もすばらしく、最初は怖かったですがとてもいい子でゆっくり前に続き歩いてくれました！担当のかたが馬との相性を見ながらそれぞれの馬を決めてくれます。中には草ばかり食べてしまい、大変そうな馬もいました！
海を見ながらの乗馬は日本では体験できないのでぜひ経験してもらいたいです！

I'm glad I was able to get various local information. Thank you very much. I went to Giovanni for the garlic shrimp, and it was delicious.

いろんな現地情報も含めておしえてもらって良かったです。
ありがとうございました。
