It was my first time horseback riding along the coast, and the whole family enjoyed it. The view from the horse was amazing. For lunch and the ice cream at Dole Plantation, one serving was quite a lot for each person.
海沿いを乗馬するのは初めてで、家族全員楽しめました。馬上からの景色が素晴らしかったです。ランチとドールプランテーションのアイスなどは一人一つ頼むと量が多かったです。

The car was full! The tour with 13 people has started! My husband and I are participating too (^O^) We are with five other groups of strangers, and the guide shared historical stories and fun facts about Hawaii that we wouldn't usually hear. The car took us to the Dole Plantation! Next, we stopped for a green sea turtle search! We could see them a little from a distance, but it was disappointing! We went to Haleiwa for an early lunch... Everyone requested garlic shrimp since we were here! To avoid wasting time, the guide placed a phone order for us, and we received our food right away when we arrived! The portion was just right for two, served on a stylish plate lunch✨ It was so delicious!
And finally! The main event of the day✨ We headed to Turtle Bay for horseback riding! The wind, air, and blue sea that you can't experience in Waikiki... The cute horses were waiting for us with saddles on! Each of the 13 of us carefully considered our compatibility with the horses and mounted them one by one... and off we went! Right along the coastline! How wonderful! I can't believe we got to walk such a long distance by the beach! It was definitely✨ worth coming to Turtle Bay. This! This! This is the beach horseback riding I wanted to do! You can't find this kind of horseback riding on other tours! It was the best‼ On the way back, we also stopped by a nut farm, and we had the best day ever! Thank you so much! I would love to participate again!
車満員❗13人のツアーがスタート!
私達夫婦2人も参加です(^O^)
知らない人達5組で、ガイドさんの歴史的なお話やハワイ事情…等あまり聞くことの出来ない楽しいお話しも交えて車はドールプランテーションに‼そして次に立ち寄ったのは、青海亀散策!離れた所で、少し見えたものの残念!ハレイワに行き早目のランチ……みんな、ここに来たならガーリックシュリンプが食べたい‼のリクエストに、時間のロスが無いようにと電話注文をしてくださり、行ったら直ぐに頂けました‼二人で食べて丁度良いくらいのボリュームにお洒落なプレートランチ✨とっても美味しかった❗
そしてついに!今日のメインイベント✨乗馬をするためにタートルベイに‼
ワイキキでは味わえない風と空気と海の青さ……
可愛い馬達が蔵を着けて待ってくれています‼
13人1人、1人が馬との相性を考えながら、順番にまたがり……いざ出発です❗
いきなり海岸沿い!なんて素敵
こんなに長い距離海辺を歩いてくれるなんて❗
ヤッパリ✨タートルベイまで来て本当に良かった
これ!これ!これがやりたかった海辺の乗馬!他のツアーでは、無い乗馬!

This activity is AMAZING! My children who were 12 and 9 at the time, had such a good time learning about the different cultures. It was almost set up like a theme park where there were various places and activities to be apart of. The grounds are breathtakingly beautiful. There's so much to see and do, you will literally spend ALL DAY there!

The local staff may not understand Japanese, but they showed us a video explanation in Japanese, which was reassuring. Each horse was very gentle, and we enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing time while feeling the sound of the waves and the wind by the North Shore. There was a lovely meadow where the horses stopped to eat grass, which was incredibly cute and amusing. I found myself naturally conversing with the horses! (laughs) They also took a group photo with the beach in the background, which became a nice memory. The staff immediately took care of the horses and gave them water after the course, so I think it's good to actively engage in conversation with them. They were very kind and attentive. We hugged and took photos together, creating the best memories. Thank you very much. There were also some friendly and cute animals besides the horses at the ranch! (laughs)
現地のスタッフの方は日本語はわかりませんが、日本語の説明動画を見せてくれるので安心でした。どの馬もとてもいい子でノースショアの海辺の波の音と風を感じながらなんとも心地よい時間がゆっくり過ぎていきました。途中馬たちの大好きな草原があり、草を食べて止まってしまうのもたまらなくかわいくて面白かったです。自然と馬と会話してました!(笑)海辺をバックに集合写真も撮って下さり、記念になりました。スタッフの方はコース終了後すぐに馬にお水をあげたりお世話をしていますので、こちらから積極的に話しかけるのもいいと思います。やさしく丁寧に対応してくださいました。ハグをして一緒に写真も撮っていただきました。最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。牧場には馬以外にも人懐っこいかわいい子がいましたよ!(笑)

They are probably watching over us, but as expected, it's not as thorough as in Japan, and there isn't a lot of support, so I was quite anxious about the shorter kids not falling off the horse, but we managed for 45 minutes! The horses are well-trained, I suppose. The scenery was also very beautiful. I'm grateful.

No problems at all. They provide transportation from Waikiki to Keana Farms with shared rides. It takes a little over an hour. Once you arrive, you'll be asked to sign a consent form on a touch panel (available in Japanese). First, you'll get accustomed with a practice zip line, and then you'll be taken to the highest point by a buggy. You zip line one after another by following along. It was so much fun! It lasts about two hours in total. The three handsome staff members were very kind. I wasn't sure about the last photo sale, but in the end, I was able to download them for free. I wonder why? I highly recommend it to everyone.

We participated as a family of five. Since it was the end of the year, there were many Japanese people, and everyone in the same group was Japanese, which created a sense of camaraderie towards the end, making it a lot of fun.
As others have mentioned, the crew members were very friendly, and they took care of all the setup, so we could just relax and enjoy ourselves. It was thrilling and refreshing, and it was the most enjoyable activity we've done in Hawaii so far. The kids had a great time too.
It's possible to take pictures while holding an iPhone, but having a GoPro or similar device allows for much better shots. The crew also takes photos and sells them: one photo for $15, four for $30, or all 50 for $66. Most people ended up buying all of them.
The North Shore is a great place as well. You can cover everything in about two hours, and although the mornings start a bit early, I think it's efficient for making the most of the day. I would love to do it again.

スリルも爽快感もあり、これまでのハワイでのアクティビティでは1番楽しかったです。子供もすごく楽しんでいました。
iPhone持ちながらも可能ですが、GoProなどあるとかなりいい画が撮れます。またクルーの方が写真を撮ってくれ、販売されるのですが、1枚15ドル、4枚30ドル、50枚全て66ドルで購入できます。ほとんどの方が全部買っていました。
ノースショアという場所もいいですね。2時間ほどで全て回れるし、朝は少し早いですが効率良く1日が使えていいと思います。

All the staff were cheerful and polite, and we enjoyed ziplining while feeling the pleasant breeze in the great outdoors.

During the company trip, everyone said they were going to Kailua, but I really wanted to go horseback riding, so I participated alone. But it was so much fun! At Dole Plantation, I enjoyed freshly squeezed pineapple juice and was very satisfied! Then, I went to Haleiwa Town and savored garlic shrimp! At a restaurant recommended by the guide, it was the most plump and delicious garlic shrimp I've ever had! After that, we headed to the North Shore, passing by the Triple Crown (surfing competition). Finally, it was horseback riding time! I was able to truly enjoy the scenery and riding!
The guide was very nice, and to avoid traffic from the Triple Crown, we took a different route back, stopping by a macadamia nut factory along the way. There, I bought macadamia nut butter and incredibly fresh macadamia nuts!
I really enjoyed it!!!!!

It started with a great host on the bus ride to the centre. He was funny, informative and well spoken. The day continued with our guide throughout the centre. I recommend paying for the Ambassador experience. It is worth the extra dollars to ensure you make all the shows on time.
The feast we had for dinner was excellent quality and ample. There was the opportunity to eat seconds and thirds if you wanted.
The final show the breath of life was an amazing display. I would have been satisfied with just that show and dinner.

The horseback riding itself was great, but it was quite far from Haleiwa, taking about 40 minutes by bike one way. I recommend renting a car or chartering a vehicle if you participate in this option. However, unlike Kualoa, riding by the seaside was very pleasant with the refreshing sea breeze. The guide was in English, but there were Japanese informational materials at the reception, and they also showed a Japanese instructional video before the ride, which was reassuring.
乗馬そのものは良かったですが、ハレイワからも離れており自転車で片道40分くらいはかかりました。こちらのオプションに参加する場合はレンタカーか、車チャーターすることをお勧めします。ただ、クアロアとは違い海辺で乗馬できるのはとても海風が心地よく爽快でした。英語ガイドでしたが、受付に日本語の案内書面もありますし乗馬する前に日本語のレクチャー動画も見せてくれるので安心でした。

It took about an hour and a half from Waikiki, but it was a very peaceful and relaxing ranch. The horseback riding options for preschoolers are limited, but this plan is very fulfilling. We were able to leisurely stroll through the vast grounds and even had designated photo time at various points. Along the way, we learned a lot about Hawaiian plants, how to care for horses, and how to give commands. At the end, we gave a thank-you carrot, brushed the horse, and took photos, making for a total experience of about 1 hour and 30 minutes. They kindly answered all of my daughter's many questions, and she fell in love with horseback riding. It felt like a personal English lesson while riding, which was a great deal. The entrance to the ranch is a bit tricky, but it was truly a wonderful place. If you have some time to spare, I highly recommend it!
ワイキキから1時間半位かかりましたが、とてものどかでのんびり出来る牧場でした。未就学児でもできる乗馬は限られていますがこちらのプランはとても充実しています。広大な敷地をのんびり散策しながらポイントで止まって写真TIMEまで配慮してもらえました。道中ハワイの植物の事や、馬のお世話の仕方、指示の出し方等など深いお話が聞けました。最後にありがとうのニンジンをあげてブラッシング、写真撮影で終わりですが、トータル1:30は体験できました。娘の数々の質問にも丁寧に答えてくれ乗馬が大好きになりました。

I participated in the morning tour. (Since I was staying in Haleiwa, I joined the tour alone from the local area.) The reception booth is open early in the morning, so you just need to say your name and then wait at the designated spot to board the boat. Since it was a completely English tour, I honestly felt a bit anxious because I'm not very good at English.
Once I got on the boat, the captain-like person came out after a while and started talking about the precautions with some jokes mixed in. Honestly, I couldn't understand what he was saying at all (I think he was explaining something like not to lean on the cage or stick your feet out, or you might get eaten by a shark). However, after that, he talked about how the teams would be divided and the order of entry into the cage, which I managed to understand.
Then, following the instructions, when it was time, we put on our underwater masks and snorkels and entered the water. No fins were allowed; we were barefoot. I wasn't timing it, but we were given plenty of time, enough to get bored. However, since there were quite a few people in the cage, it felt like we were just floating around and observing the sharks underwater. I tried to dive down and observe once, but I got scolded for that.
That said, the sharks didn't seem to be interested in humans, and while I was nervous when I first entered, the fear gradually faded away. In the end, there were even people taking pictures while hanging their feet over the edge of the cage. It seems there were no restrictions on bringing cameras or videos; for those who didn't have one, they were available for rent for a fee.
After about ten minutes of watching, I started to get bored and thought, "Is this ever going to end?" However, throughout the time we were in the cage, the sharks were always nearby, swimming around. They might have been throwing out some food.
Once all the teams finished, we headed straight back to the port. There wasn't really anything else to see.
Even though I participated alone, my lack of English skills and communication ability made it feel quite isolating. All the other participants were young American students who were all chattering among themselves, and I felt a bit left out. I ended up just looking off into the distance by myself.
Still, I think it was good to experience something I normally wouldn't get to do. By the way, the captain seemed like a nice person. He was considerate of me being alone.
P.S.: After reading others' impressions, I noticed something different from my experience: the boat's swaying. It might have been better in the morning, or maybe the waves were just calm that day, but it was very comfortable. No participants seemed to get seasick, so the conditions were probably good.
Also, a note of caution: there were a lot of jellyfish, possibly due to the season. They were small and looked like trash, so it was hard to avoid them. If you're bare-skinned, you might get stung quite a bit. I recommend wearing a rash guard that covers your arms just in case.
朝一のツアーに参加しました。(ハレイワに滞在していたので現地から一人で参加)
朝早くから受付のブースは空いているので、名前を言ってあとは指定された場所で待機していれば乗船できます。
完全な英語ツアーなので英語があまり得意ではない僕にとっては正直、不安でした。
船に乗り込むとしばらくして船長さんらしき人が出てきて何やら冗談混じりで注意事項を話し始めます。正直何言ってるか全然わからないw
(多分ケージにもたれかかったり、足出すなよ。サメに喰われるぞ的な説明だったかと)
ただ、その後ケージに入るチーム分けと入る順番を話してくれてこれは何とかなりました。
あとは指示に従って時間になれば水中マスクとシュノーケルをつけて入ります。フィンはなし。素足です。
時間を計っていたわけではないですが、飽きるくらい十分の時間が与えられます。
ただオリに入る人数がそこそこ多いのでプカプカ浮きながら水中を見てサメを観察する感じです。一回頭から潜って観察したんですが、やるなって怒られました。
とはいえ、サメは人間に興味無さそうだし、入った時はドキドキですが、だんだんと恐怖感は無くなります。
しまいにはオリに足かけて潜って写真撮ってる人もいました。
カメラとかビデオの持ち込み、撮影は制限無いようです。ない人には貸し出しも有料でしてるみたいでした。
さすがに10分も見ると飽きてきて、もう終わらないかなぁなんて思ってしまいました。ただオリの中にいる間中、サメはずっと近くにいてウロウロしてくれてました。エサでも撒いてるのかも。
全チーム見終わったらすぐ港に直帰。ほかに特に何かを見るということもありませんでした。
一人での参加ですが、僕にあまり英語力とコミュ力がなかったのもありますが、結構なアウェイ感です。他の参加者がみんなアメリカの学生さんみたいな若い人ばっかりだったのて内輪でキャッキャやってて、ちょっとその中には入れないなあと。遠くを見ながらのボッチでした。
まあそれでも普段体験出来ない事が出来たんで良かったかなと思います。
ちなみに船長さんはなかなかいい人そうでしたよ。ボッチの僕にも気をつかってくれてました。
追記:他の皆さんの感想みて僕の時と違うと思ったのは揺れ。朝一がいいのか、たまたま波が少なかったのか、快適そのものでした。参加者で酔ってるひとは誰もおらず環境は良かったのかも。
あと、注意点ですが、季節柄かも知れませんが、めっちゃクラゲがいます。しかも小さくてゴミみたいなやつなので避けようがない。
裸だとかなりチクチクやられるかも知れません。腕が隠れるラッシュガードを念のため着ていくことをお勧めします。

I arrived earlier than scheduled, but I was greeted with a smile. Everything was in English, and the staff were very kind and friendly. The horses were really cute, and riding in such beautiful scenery was a lot of fun. It was very quiet, so it felt like a private experience! The prices are reasonable, and I hope more people get to enjoy this.
時間より早く着きましたが、笑顔で対応してもらえました。すべて英語ですが、スタッフの方もとても優しくて親切です。馬もとっても可愛いし、綺麗な景色の中の乗馬はとても楽しかったです。すごく空いているので、貸切です!!
お値段もお手頃だし、もっとたくさんの人に利用してもらいたいなぁ。

There were three of us, a young couple of two, and a group of five foreign family members.
We went armed in a jeep.
The explanations were all in English, but we managed somehow.
I got hungry from morning until we returned, so I would have appreciated some light snacks or a stop at a store on the way back.
The scenery was beautiful and it was fun, so I wish we could have taken more photos.
私達3人と若いカップル2人、後は外人の家族5人のグループでした。
武装して、ジープでGO
説明は全部英語でしたが、、まぁなんとかなりました
朝から帰りまでお腹が空いちゃうので、簡単な軽食でもあるか、帰りお店にでも寄ってもらえると嬉しかったかな
景色もよく楽しかったので
写真をもう少したくさん撮って欲しかったな
