My child expressed a desire to try horseback riding, and after researching various options, I chose this tour that allows even a 7-year-old to ride for the first time. Other tours had age restrictions that we couldn't meet. Additionally, since I had never rented a car before, the fact that we could see the North Shore while horseback riding was a deciding factor.
The result was a great choice! When we stopped by the North Shore in the morning and visited Matsumoto Shave Ice, it was surprisingly empty. We thoroughly enjoyed the shave ice with my child. By the way, when we went back to Haleiwa in the afternoon after horseback riding, Matsumoto Shave Ice had a long line, so it was definitely the right decision to go in the morning!
After that, we moved on to start horseback riding. It was the first time for our whole family, but the guide explained everything in Japanese multiple times during the car ride, and the horses were well-trained, so there were no issues at all. My 7-year-old daughter seemed to have a lot of fun, calmly riding her horse while talking to it. I thought someone would be holding the reins for her, but that wasn't the case (laughs). She was really on her own.
The weather was great, and there were spots where we could see the valley and the ocean, which felt wonderful! My husband and the kids really enjoyed it too. It seemed like they appreciated that it wasn't just going around in circles on the ranch!
I liked it so much that I would definitely want to do it again when we go back to Hawaii!
子供から乗馬をしたいとの希望があり、いろいろ調べたところ、初めての7才でも乗せてもらえるこのツアーを選びました。他のツアーの乗馬は年齢制限にひっかかったので…。また、レンタカーは借りたことがないのでノースショアも見つつ乗馬もできるということも決め手でした。
結果は正解!午前中にノースショアに立ち寄ったときに、マツモトシェイブアイスにいったら、なんとガラガラ。子供とシェイブアイスを十分楽しめました。ちなみに乗馬のあとの午後に再びハレイワに行ったときは、マツモトシェイブアイスはすごく行列していたので、午前中に食べて正解でした!
その後移動して乗馬開始。家族みんな初めての乗馬でしたが、行きの車でガイドさんが日本語で何回も説明してくれたのと、馬がかなり調教されていたので、全く問題なしでした。
7才の娘もとても楽しかったらしく、自分の馬に話しかけながらずっと落ち着いて1人でのっていました。誰か手綱を引いてくれるのかと思ってましたが、違いました(笑)。本当に1人でしたよ。
天気もよくて、渓谷と海が見える場所もあり、とても気持ち良かったです!主人も子供たちもかなり気に入っていました。牧場内をぐるぐるまわるだけではないのが良かったみたいです!
またハワイにいったら是非お願いしたいくらいとっても気に入りました!

Unlike regular horseback riding in Japan, riding leisurely through nature was the best. I was healed by the sound of the wind rustling the leaves and the scenery!

I rode along the coastline and through the farms for about an hour, and it was quite beautiful. My 9-year-old son said it was his best memory. The staff took photos from both the mountain side and the seaside. The staff only spoke English, but I think it was manageable. After riding the horse, they explained how to control it in English. There were no Japanese customers. We went by rental car. The next day, I had muscle soreness in my back and the soles of my feet. The horses have different personalities; mine was a gentle horse named Amy, while my son's horse tried to eat grass right away, but in the end, he was able to control it well.

The course in the mountains after the rain was a bit muddy, which made me a little anxious, but the horse walked very well. There were times when I slipped, but the horse maintained its balance, so it wasn't a problem. I think the course on a sunny day would also be nice, but the course after the rain was thrilling and fun. The boss doesn't speak Japanese, but the guide provides a thorough explanation before riding, and there are illustrated signs, so there's no need to worry.
雨が降った後の山のコースだったため、足元がぬかるみ少し不安でしたが、馬が上手に歩いてくれました。時々滑りましたが、馬が上手にバランスをとってくれるので問題ありませんでした。晴天のときのコースも良いと思いますが、雨が降った後のコースもスリリングで楽しかったです。ボスは日本語を話しませんが、乗馬前にガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくれるし、イラストで説明された説明版があるので心配いりません。

The ride was good. None of us have ever ridden a horse on the beach, so it was a new experience. I haven't spent more than 20 minutes on a horse before this, more than a decade ago, so it was almost all new to me. We liked how the leader stopped us on the beach and took nice photos of us to remember the ride. The reason I didn't give a perfect score was that I think the leader of the ride needed to be more aware of the riding skill of the people she was leading and give advice on how to improve instead of just telling us what not to do.

Toshi, our driver guide, was a kind and fun person. On the day of the tour, there were a total of 10 people picked up from three different hotels, and we were able to leave each hotel ahead of schedule, which made for a very pleasant start to the tour.
Although the weather was a bit bad, we were able to enjoy horseback riding and had a great day. I felt that the horseback riding was a bit more active and enjoyable than at Kualoa. My husband had his first horseback riding experience, and he seemed to really enjoy it, saying he wanted to ride again after we finished.
We couldn't see the turtles in Haleiwa, as it seems there is a specific season for that, but I recommend checking the timing if you're looking forward to seeing them. (You can gauge the chances of seeing them based on the guide's comments, haha.) For lunch, we thoroughly enjoyed garlic shrimp and huli huli chicken and were very satisfied.

I signed up because I wanted to try zip-lining at least once. As mentioned in the experiences, there were no Japanese participants, and the staff spoke English, but the language barrier was not an issue at all. (You can generally understand by observing the atmosphere and your surroundings.)
First, we drove up the mountain in a four-wheeler, and the driving was aggressive and fun. I also thought zip-lining would just be about sliding down, but there were parts where we had to climb back up using ropes, which was very tiring. But it was enjoyable.

My party of six adults chose the Silver package and were delighted with our seating position to the show. The food was amazing. Do yourself a favor... leave the other touristy luaus to the tourists and experience what these lovely folks work so hard to share. Well done Toa Luau!!

I saw in the reviews that there wouldn't be any staff who spoke Japanese, so I participated, but there were some! Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy myself without any trouble.
Since it was in the mountains, I thought the sunlight would be strong, so I applied plenty of sunscreen and wore long sleeves. However, my arms, nose, and cheeks, which were exposed when I rolled up my sleeves a bit, got sunburned bright red.
The staff wore helmets over hats with brims, so if you're concerned about sunburn, I think it's a good idea to do the same.
The price is high, but everything in Hawaii tends to be on the expensive side, so it can't be helped.

My first trip to Hawaii and the first option tour!
It was great that the driver was Japanese, and I could hear various stories.
At Dole, the pineapple and soft serve were quite substantial, but they were very delicious.
After that, we went to the beach to see sea turtles, but unfortunately, the turtles didn't show up. My wife was very disappointed, but we caught a glimpse of one while driving.
In North Shore, we had lunch and did some light shopping (we could have used a bit more time).
Finally, it was time for horseback riding. My horse was quite well-behaved, but my wife's horse was a bit stubborn?! We struggled a bit, but the sea breeze along the coast felt really nice.
On the way back, thanks to the driver's suggestion, we stopped by a nut farm, which was also delicious.
It was a really great tour. Thank you!

Initially, I had signed up for another zipline, but it was fully booked on all days, so I registered for this one instead. In the end, I was glad I chose Keana Farm!!
We were picked up and traveled for about an hour and a half to Keana Farm with around 12 to 15 people. Besides the two of us, everyone else was foreign! The driver talked a lot during the ride, but since it was all in English, I didn’t understand much (^_^;) When the participants started introducing themselves, we could only give a brief introduction since we couldn’t speak English. I thought it would have been more fun if we could speak English, but experiencing the overseas atmosphere was enjoyable in its own way!
Upon arriving at Keana Farm, we stored our valuables in a free locker with a lock. Large luggage was taken care of at the reception. We checked in one by one using a tablet on the wall, got fitted with the equipment, and then it was time to depart!
There was an instructor who could speak a little Japanese, and they were in charge of our group! So, there were no issues during the zipline.
There is a mini practice zipline near the reception where we practiced once before hopping on a buggy to climb the mountain. We zoomed along a narrow, bumpy mountain road in the buggy! It was fun♪
From there, we did several ziplines while making our way back. I was a bit nervous about letting go on the first zipline, but after that, I got used to it. It was so much fun! It was fast and exhilarating!! There were suspension bridges between ziplines, and we went down and up with ropes… we enjoyed a variety of activities!
After reading everyone’s reviews, I was anxious about whether I could climb up with the rope. At first, I was using my own strength to climb, but halfway through, my arms got tired and I couldn’t go up anymore (laughs). But it was okay!! In that case, the instructor helped us, so there was no problem at all♡
The weather was bad and it was raining, but it stopped partway through, and it was sunny for the last 15 minutes! I overslept that morning and forgot sunscreen… and even though it was only sunny for 15 minutes, I got sunburned (laughs). My face and neck got burned (laughs), and my neck turned red and was stinging throughout the trip.
I had such a great time this time that I want to participate in ziplining again!♡
最初は他のジップラインを申し込みしてましたがそちらがどの日も予約いっぱいで、こちらに申し込みしました。結果ケアナファームで良かったです!!

ケアナファームへ到着して貴重品は鍵付き(無料)ロッカーへ。大きな荷物は受付で預かってくれます。壁についてるタブレットで1人ずつ受付して、器具を装着してくれあとは出発するのみ!
日本語を少し喋れるインストラクターの方がいてその方が私たちのグループ担当になってくれました!なのでジップライン中は何も問題なかったです。
ジップラインはまず受付近くのところに練習用のミニサイズのジップラインがあります。それで1回練習してからバギーに乗って山を登っていきます。細いガタガタした山道をバギーで爆走!楽しいです♪
そこから何本ものジップラインをしながらまた戻ってくる感じでした。最初の1本目だけ足を離すのにちょっとドキドキしましたが、あとは慣れます。とっても楽しい!速いし気持ちいい!!
ジップラインとジップラインの間に吊り橋があったり真下に降りたりロープで上にあがったり…色んな事をしながらでより楽しめました♡
皆さんの口コミを読んで、ロープで上にあがれるのか不安で不安で…。最初は自分の力で上がってましたが途中から腕が疲れ上がれなくなり(笑)けど大丈夫です!!その場合はインストラクターの方が手助けしてくれるので全然問題なかったです♡
天気が悪くて雨が降っていましたが途中から止んで最後15分ぐらいは晴れました〜!
朝寝坊したため日焼け止めを忘れてしまい…たった15分晴れていただけなのに焼けました(笑)顔も首も焼けます(笑)首は赤くなり旅行中ずっとヒリヒリしてました。

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.

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.

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。
