The Japanese driver provided guidance on the scenery and a brief history of Hawaii. It was such a satisfying tour that I almost forgot the main event was horseback riding.
Of course, all the horses at Turtle Bay Resort were charming, and the riding staff were wonderful people. On my next trip to Hawaii, I plan to take some time to explore beyond just Waikiki.
日本人運転手さんが車窓や、ハワイの簡単な歴史など、ガイドもしてくださいました。メーンイベントが乗馬であることをうっかり忘れてしまうほどの、大満足なツアーでした。
もちろん、タートルベイリゾートの馬たちは皆んなチャーミングで、乗馬スタッフもステキな方たちでした。
次のハワイ旅行の機会には、ワイキキだけではなく時間をとって足を伸ばしてみようと思いました。

Absolutely recommended!
In the end, I was able to let go and even do a handstand!
Even a 47-year-old woman like me could do it!
There was also a 74-year-old grandmother from England on the same team.
The staff were kind and fun, and they even assisted the grandmother.

We started with sightseeing in the morning and entered the center at 1 PM. The daytime shows and the park tour were enjoyable, and both lunch and dinner were delicious. I watched the night show from the front row center and was moved to tears by the dancers' powerful performance. I will definitely go again next time. Thank you very much to the guide who took care of us during this tour. I hope to see you again next year.
午前中の観光から始まり13時にセンターに入りました。
昼間のショーも園内ツアーも楽しく、ランチやディナーは美味しく、ナイトショーは、前列中央で見ましたがダンサーの皆さんの迫力に感動し、涙が出ました。
次回も必ず行きます。

There is no Japanese at all, but that makes it fun.
I can somewhat understand the explanations, but that level of understanding is enough to enjoy it.
The staff are all fun people, and I want to participate again.
Also, the staff's speed in remembering participants' names is impressive.

I booked a plan that includes transportation! The bus arrived on time, and all the staff spoke English. Even if there was a language barrier, the staff tried to communicate with gestures, so it all worked out! The zip line was so much fun! It's fine even if you have a fear of heights! The fruit tomatoes and apple bananas from the farm were delicious too!

The tour lasts about 3 hours and includes 7 zip lines. 1) They teach you various sliding styles, 2) You can take commemorative photos at scenic spots! 3) Tomatoes, macadamia nuts, bananas. 4) The harness and rules are very thorough, so you can feel safe and there’s no risk of falling, which means you can also take photos with a smartphone selfie stick. 5) They talked to us in English about various things before sliding, but I didn’t understand… 6) The price is on the higher side, but I think it was worth the experience.

We participated as a family. At first, it was scary, but since we got used to the gentle course before moving to higher altitudes, we were able to enjoy it without anxiety. There was an instructor who spoke a little Japanese, which was helpful. It would have been even more fun if we could speak English.
Since there are times when you need to hold onto the equipment with both hands, it would be convenient to have a case to hang your smartphone around your neck. I think it would be concerning if you only had it in your back pocket and it fell out.
When we were there, there was water available, but unfortunately, there were no bananas or other fruits (not sure if they ran out?).
Overall, it was a fun and great experience.
家族で参加。最初は怖かったのですが、優しいコースで慣れてから高地に上がるので不安なく楽しめました。
少し日本語が話せるインストラクターさんがいたので助かりました。
英語が出来たらもっと楽しかったでしょうね。
両手で器具につかまることもあるので スマホを首からぶら下げられるケース等があると便利です。お尻のポケットだけでは もし落としたら…と不安になると思います。

I didn't understand the guide's (Kaz's) explanations well, and I was just dropped off at the sea and left to my own devices. I spoke with a woman who was also on the same tour, and none of us really understood what was going on. The horseback riding was very enjoyable. However, the casual way of speaking and the overall lack of professionalism made it an unsatisfactory tour. I recommend not participating.

I'm not afraid of heights, but at first, I was tense on the swaying launch platform. It was quite difficult to trust the safety belt.

The view from the 800-meter launch platform became a great memory. Lastly, pulling myself up was tough, and my blood pressure went up quite a bit.

Turtle Bay is quite a distance from Waikiki, so taking a tour is definitely the best option!
Old downtown on the North Shore was as lovely as the rumors suggested! The garlic shrimp, which you can reserve during the tour, was exquisite! After strolling through the town, we went horseback riding.
Since the horseback riding club is located within the Turtle Bay hotel, the horses were wonderful, and enjoying a ride on the private beach was an unforgettable experience! The location is truly deserving of being a filming site for various movies. All the horses were charming, and it was a satisfying long ride.
The tour guide provided a lot of insights about the buildings and behind-the-scenes stories along the Highway, and I thoroughly enjoyed their rich experience and knowledge!
Thanks to this tour, I got to know Hawaii beyond just Honolulu, and it was a wonderful experience that greatly exceeded my expectations.
Thank you!
タートルベイはワイキキからかなりの距離があるのでツアーが断然良いです!

さまざまな映画のロケ地になったのが納得のロケーションです。馬も皆チャーミングで納得のロングライドでした。

I had my first horseback riding experience with my 9-year-old son and my husband. My horse and my husband's horse were calm and followed the staff's horse, but there were times when my son's horse wouldn't move away from the line, which made me think that my son might have been a bit nervous, and that might have been communicated to the horse. The horses started walking at the staff's cue. We were able to leisurely explore nature and ride the horses, which was very soothing.
One disappointing thing was that the staff explained how to ride and the precautions in English, so I couldn't understand much. However, my son seemed to have enjoyed it and said he would like to ride again when we come back.
9歳の息子と主人と3人で初乗馬体験しました。
主人と私の馬は大人しく並んでスタッフの馬の後ろを付いていたが、
息子の馬が列を離れて動こうとは、しない事があったので少し息子も緊張してたのが馬にも伝わったのかなぁと思いました。スタッフの掛け声で馬は歩きだしました。自然の中をゆっくり見て回れて馬にも普通に乗れて癒されました。
残念な事は、スタッフが最初に乗り方や注意事項を説明されたが、英語だったので、あまり理解出来ませんでした。でも息子は、楽しかったみたいで又、来た時は乗りたいと云ってました。
アロハ!レビューをありがとうございます。お子様が素晴らしい時間を過ごされたことをとても嬉しく思います!またお会いできることを願っています!マハロ!

I made a same-day reservation for a private plan through the app and arrived. After parking my car, I went to the reception where I was told to leave my belongings in the car and only take my phone.
I put on a helmet and received an explanation along with three other customers.
Huh?? A private plan..!?
The staff kindly explained everything. At one point, I was handed a smartphone, and we all read the instructions written in Japanese together.
After that, we set off. Just before departure, it started to rain, and they lent me a rain jacket.
During the horseback riding, there was one staff member assigned to each group. The horse I rode on started to relieve itself right away and then immediately went off to eat grass, which was quite challenging.
I tried to follow the initial instructions, but when I called for the staff, they seemed a bit annoyed while helping me.
Perhaps because it started to rain, the horse became grumpy and suddenly crouched down. At that moment, one of my legs got pinned underneath. It was my first time riding, and I was really surprised by the suddenness of it, but the staff scolded the horse, and since I wasn't injured, I was able to return safely.
After that, there was no particular follow-up, and since I settled the payment through the app, it ended with a casual "thank you for your hard work." I was really looking forward to it, but I returned home feeling a bit unsettled.
Tipping wasn't specifically requested; there was a jar in the waiting area where you could drop in tips.
By the way, it takes about 10 minutes by car to get to Giovanni, famous for its garlic shrimp.
アプリから貸切プランで当日予約し、伺いました。
駐車場に車を止め、受付に行くと車内に荷物を置き携帯電話だけ持つよう言われました。
ヘルメットを被り、他のお客さん3名と説明を受けます。
あれ???貸切・・!?
スタッフさん方は愛想よく説明してくれました。途中でスマホを渡され、みんなで日本語で書いてある説明を読みます。
その後出発しました。出発前に雨が降ってきてレインジャケットを貸してくれました。
乗馬はグループごとに1人スタッフさんがついてくれて行きました。
私が乗った馬は開始早々大も小もしはじめて、更にすぐに草を食べに行ってしまうのですごく大変でした。
なんとか最初に説明を受けた通りにしていましたが、スタッフさんを呼ぶとめんどくさそうな感じで対応してくれました。
途中雨が降ってきたからか、馬が不機嫌になり、急にしゃがんでしまいました。
その時私の片足が下敷きになりました。
初めての乗馬でしたし、突然のことですごく驚きましたが、スタッフさんが馬を叱って?くれ、怪我もしていなかった為無事に戻れました。
その後特にフォローはなく、清算もアプリからしていたので、お疲れ様〜って感じで終わりました。すごく楽しみにしていたのですが、なんかもやもやしながら帰りました。
チップは特に求められず待合所?にビンが置いてあってチップを入れるみたいでした。
ちなみにガーリックシュリンプで有名なジョバンニへは車で10分くらいで行けます。

I participated with two friends! When we arrived at Keana Farm, the receptionist first asked for our names and confirmed if we had a reservation. After that, we checked in on an iPad. We stored our valuables in lockers, and any larger bags or hoodies that wouldn’t fit in the lockers were left with the receptionist.
On the second or third zip line, I was told to grab the reddish rope at the landing point, but I couldn't grip it well and ended up reversing, so the instructor had to rescue me. I felt really sorry and apologized, but the instructor was very kind and said it was okay in English. More than anything, it was cool to see them helping me (laughs). Although I couldn't communicate in Japanese, they taught me with gestures. I love thrill rides, so I really enjoyed the zip line!! I want to do it again. The four instructors who accompanied us were all friendly, which was great.

The whole Polynesian Cultural Center experience is a must when visiting Oahu. We to Oahu in 2016 and was so fortunate to be able to go back and see this venue. There was plenty of things to do in a day (and everyone should go back either two or three days), seeing the tickets are good for three days. The cultural entertainment was very intriguing. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do many activities on the island as there was just so much to consume the first day there.
The staff was very attentive and friendly, most of them students. Any monies spent went to the tuition and any educational expenses.
The luau was a delight. Plenty of food and very organized!

It was great to have a Japanese guide and driver, so I felt comfortable asking questions.
Also, the guide was very strict about time, so please make sure to stick to the meeting times! It was reassuring that they taught us how to handle the horses in the car before the riding experience.
The horseback riding itself was wonderful; the horses were cute and seemed well-trained! The scenery was beautiful, and I was very satisfied to be able to ride while enjoying the view of the sea. Some horses even tried to eat grass, but that added to the fun, and I enjoyed chatting with other tour participants.
On the way back, we took a different route, which allowed us to enjoy the scenery from the car.
One downside was that the time for sightseeing in Haleiwa was very short, so I would have liked at least an extra 30 minutes.
日本人ガイド兼運転手さんなので、安心して気軽に質問できてよかったです。
また、時間にとてもシビアなガイドさんでしたので、必ず集合時間を守るようにしてください!乗馬体験前に車内で馬の扱い方を教えてくださったのも安心できました。
乗馬自体は馬が可愛くて、ちゃんと調教されているなぁという印象を受けました!景色もきれいでゆっくり海を見ながら乗馬できて大満足です。中には草を食べてしまう馬もいたりしたけど、それもそれで楽しみながら他のツアー客の方とも仲良くお話できて楽しかったです。
帰りのルートは行きとは異なるルートを選択して帰っていただき、車内から見える景色も楽しみながら移動ができました。
残念な点は、ハレイワ観光の時間がとても短かかったのでせめてプラス30分は長く時間をとっていただきたかったです。

We participated as a group of five adults, and it was incredibly fun. Initially, we booked a package that included transportation, but on the way back, we wanted to eat Kahuku shrimp, so we changed to meet on-site and went by rental car. The facility felt new.
The weather was a mix of sunny, cloudy, and occasionally drizzling rain. Since we were dressed lightly, I thought it felt cold even with a little rain, but they provided disposable ponchos. Wonderful service! However, it got hot once I put it on. When the rain stopped, I thought, "Well, I don't mind getting wet," and returned it.
Our group consisted of 11 people (four adults and two children from the mainland U.S. joined us), and we had three guides. They were very attentive to safety and constantly checked on us, which made us feel secure. As mentioned in the reviews, Japanese wasn’t understood, but they made an effort to engage us with encouragement, funny faces at times, pointing during important moments, and repeated explanations (in English), so we generally understood. After explanations, they would demonstrate with "like this?" and if it was okay, they would say "ok!" or if it was slightly off, they would use their bodies to explain, which reassured me. I have a fear of heights, but I felt completely fine. Perhaps it was because I felt safe.
Along the way, we could freely take water, mini tomatoes, and macadamia nuts at certain points. However, there wasn’t much time to relax, so we quickly drank and ate before moving on. There were other groups before and after us, so we progressed at a good pace. It seemed there were only two other Japanese people in the group behind us. It was quite pricey, but it was worth it. Even at 71 years old, I managed just fine. I brought my smartphone in a waist pouch. I also had a strap to hang around my neck, but they advised me that the waist pouch was better (in English). We could take photos at key points, and they took pictures for us, which made for great memories.
I have sensitive hands, so I bought floral gardening gloves at a 100 yen shop. They didn’t look great in photos, but I thought it would help with the strain on my hands when holding the rope while climbing. No one else was wearing gloves, but I was glad I used them to prevent hand irritation.
大人5人で参加、最高に楽しかったです。
最初は送迎付きを申し込みましたが、帰り道でカフクエビを食べたくて、変更して現地集合にして、レンタカーで行きました。施設は新しい感じでした。
天候は晴れだったり、曇りだったり、時々雨がぱらついたりでした。
薄着ですから、雨がパラパラでも寒く感じるなーと思ってると、使い捨てポンチョをくれました。すばらしい対応!でも着ると暑い^^;すぐに止む→ま、濡れてもいいやと返しました。
私たちグループは11人(私たち以外に、アメリカ本土からの大人4人と子供2人)ガイドは3人がついてくれました。とても安全に気を配ってて常に確認されてたので安心できました。口コミ通り日本語は通じなかったですが、楽しませようと声掛けや、時に変顔、大事な場面では指さし、何度も説明(英語ですが^^;)などで、だいたい分かりました。説明の後、「こんなふう?」みたいにやってみせると、ok!だとか、ちょっと違うなというときには体を使って説明してくれるので大丈夫とおもいました。高所恐怖症の私ですが全然大丈夫でした。安全と思えたからでしょうか。
途中、ポイントで、水や、ミニトマト、マカダミアナッツが自由に摂れます。でもゆっくりくつろいでる時間はないので、さっさと飲んだり食べたりして次に進む感じです。前後のグループもいるので程よくドンドン進みます。
日本人は私たち以外には、後ろのグループに2人いたようです。
けっこうお高めですが、それだけの価値はあります。71才でも全然平気。スマホはウエストポーチに入れて持っていきました。首からかけるストラップも持ってましたが、ウエストポーチのほうが良いと言われました(英語で^^;)要所要所で撮影できるし、撮ってくれるので記念になりました。
手荒れの私、100均で花柄の園芸手袋買っていきました。写真写りはかっこわるいけど、ロープを持って上に上の時に、手に負担があると思ったからです。手袋してる方はいませんでしたが、手荒れ予防に使ってよかったです。

We experienced horseback riding as a family. We went to the polo club by rental car and participated in a tour. The North Shore is truly a wonderful place, and it was an amazing experience to ride along the coast in the pleasant breeze. It was my son and son-in-law's first time riding, but the horses were smart, and they enjoyed it without any problems. Along the way, we took photos, and my son attached a GoPro to his arm to film while riding without any issues. We also had some commemorative photos taken, and even though it was in English, we received various explanations, making it the best memory of our trip to Hawaii.
家族で乗馬体験しました。レンタカーで、ポロクラブへ行き、ツアーに参加しました。ノースショアが本当に素晴らしい場所で、心地よい風の中、海岸沿いを馬で歩けて最高に素晴らしい体験ができました。息子も娘婿も初めての乗馬でしたが、賢い馬で、何の問題もなく楽しめました。途中写真を取ったり、息子はゴープロを腕につけて馬の操作には問題ない状態でビデオを撮ったり、途中記念撮影して下さったり、英語ですが、いろいろ説明してもらいハワイに来た最高の思い出になりました。

I previously had a horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch, but the movie tour aside, the horseback riding felt very much like a "tourist attraction"—it was crowded, and we all went in a line together.
At Gunstock Ranch, my 2-year-and-10-month-old daughter could ride a pony, while my husband and I chose to ride horses. A staff member walked with my daughter's pony, and we followed behind on our own horses. There aren't many places that allow small children to ride alone, so it was a valuable experience! We chose a 20-minute ride, which was more than enough time for little ones! The grounds are incredibly spacious, allowing us to feel the great outdoors, and afterward, they let my daughter brush the pony and give it treats, which was really friendly of them. I definitely want to go back next time!
*However, there were no staff members who spoke Japanese. I don't think it would be too much of a problem, though.
以前クアロア牧場で乗馬体験もしたのですが、映画地のツアーはともかく乗馬に関しては「観光向け」という感じで、混んでいるし、みんなでぞろぞろ行く感じでした。
このガンストック牧場は2歳10か月の娘がポニー、私と夫は馬と選べて、係の女の人が娘のポニーを引いて歩いてくれ、私たちは後ろから自分たちでついていくという感じです。小さい子1人で乗らせてくれるところはないので、貴重な体験でした!
20分のライドを選びましたが、小さい子には十分すぎる時間です!
敷地はものすごく広くて大自然を感じられるし、終わった後で娘にポニーのブラッシングや、おやつをあげさせてくれたりして、本当にフレンドリーでした(^^)次回も絶対に行きたいです!
※ただ日本語が話せるスタッフさんはいなかったです。
そんなに困る事はないと思いますが。
レビューありがとうございます!お嬢様がポニーライドを楽しんでいただけたことをとても嬉しく思います!
Thank you for your review! We are so glad that your daughter had a good time on the pony ride!

It was fun because it was my first experience riding a horse! I was also able to stop by Haleiwa, and the garlic shrimp was delicious!
乗馬初体験だったから楽しかったです!
ハレイワにも寄れたし、ガーリックシュリンプも美味しかった!
