Hawaii's "must-try" optional tours ハワイの「一押し」オプショナルツアー

Reviewed by: やまちゃん

I would like to introduce a great value optional tour among the many available in Hawaii. This time, I focused on "Horseback Riding in Hawaii!" while comparing various optional tours. And what I found was this plan!

1. First, the iconic "This Tree, What Tree" at "Moanalua Gardens" (it’s said that the Moanalua Gardens tour will no longer be available after April 2016, so be sure to see it soon).
2. Next, enjoy Hawaii's specialty pineapple at the "Dole Plantation."
3. Then, at the "North Shore," encounter the elusive "sea turtles" (they were huge! I could almost ride on their backs).
4. For lunch, we had a recommendation from our guide for a hidden gem "delicious shrimp restaurant" (so good! Lightly seasoned for $11).
5. The much-anticipated "horseback riding"… Unlike other horseback riding optional tours that just walk along the coast for 40 minutes, this tour takes you through varied landscapes like hills, valleys, and bamboo groves, allowing you to enjoy the rhythm of the horse for a full 90 minutes in nature. Local staff support you at the front and back of the line, ensuring safety. The horses are wild yet generally calm, and there were many female groups participating (however, those over 100 kg are not allowed; we don’t want to hurt the horses).

**Note:** If you ride properly, there are no issues, but if you mess around or let go of the reins (like taking photos), you could fall off and get seriously injured (which is why you have to sign a waiver before riding).

So, how much is this packed tour? An incredible $165 per person! (Of course, it includes a Japanese-speaking guide, tips, and hotel pickup). You will really understand how great of a deal this plan is if you take the time to compare it with other tours!

Let’s not be lazy and look for "other tours" too! That way, you’ll realize that "what Yamachan said was true." If you find any other great deals, please let me know! Let’s share good information! Aloha~

◆数あるハワイの「オプショナルツアー」で、お得感のある（支払に対して満足感が高い）ツアーを紹介します。今回は「ハワイで乗馬！」を主目的に、様々なオプショナルツアーを比較しながら探しました。そして見つけたのがこのプラン！　①まずお決まりの「この木なんの木」の「モアナルアガーデン」（2016年4月以降はモアナルアガーデンツアーは無くなる、との事で早めに見納め）②続いて「ドールプランテーション」にてハワイ特産のパイナップルを堪能　③続いて「ノースショア」にて、遭遇が難しい「うみがめ」対面（デカッ！ いました いました 背中に乗れそう）④昼食はガイドさん推薦の「隠れ家的」な「絶品シュリンプ料理店（うまい！あっさり味付けで11ドル）」⑤お待ちかね「乗馬」…海岸沿いをただ、てくてく歩く「他の乗馬オプショナルツアー（40分）」と違い、このツアーは起伏に富んだ「山あいや谷？や竹やぶ等、いわゆる自然の中を悠々と馬の鼓動を聞きながら（それも90分ですぞ！）、乗馬を楽しむツアーです。サポートも現地スタッフが隊列の前後につき安心。馬も野性味があってスリリングですが総じておとなしく、女性グループも多かったです。（ただし100㎏以上の人はNG　馬さんかわいそうだもんね）【注意点】・キチンと乗れば全然問題なしでも、ふざけたり、手を離したり（カメラ撮影等）してると落馬して大怪我します（そのため、乗馬前に「免責証書を書かされる」）
ハイッ！　ここまで盛りだくさんツアーでお値段は？　な、な、なんと一人165ドル！（もちろん日本語ガイドさん付き、チップ込みでホテル送迎付き）このプランがいかにお得（安い）かは、いろいろ時間をかけて「他」のツアーを探して比較してみれば よ～くわかります！
横着せずに「他のツアー」も探しましょうね！そうすれば、「やまちゃんが言っていた事は本当だったんだ」と分かります。もし、他にお得なツアーがあれば、また教えてください！良い情報は共有していきましょう！　アロハ～

I'm sorry!! How about this? 謝ってください！！はいかがなものでようか？

Reviewed by: カワグチ

Two young women in our tour group mistakenly miscalculated the meeting time, causing us to wait for about 30 minutes. The tour driver, in front of the other passengers, forcefully and aggressively said, "Apologize!!" which instantly darkened the mood. It really dampened the travel spirit we had.

Whether this was due to a lack of prior explanation or unclear communication with the two women (only verbal), I believe there is some fault on the part of the tour company regarding the itinerary. Shifting all the responsibility onto us does not absolve them of their own accountability. I hope there will be no further troubles in the future.

ツアー同行者で若い２名の女性が途中の集合時間を間違えて、30分程度待たしてしてしまった、ツアーのドラバーがほかの同乗者もいる面前で「誤ってください！！」と強く強圧的な言い方でその場が一瞬で気分的にも暗くなってしまい、せっかくの旅行気分に水を差されました。
事前の説明不足によるものか、２名とのやり取りが不明（口頭のみ）ですが、ツアーの工程については業者側にも落ち度があるのではないでしょうか、一方的な責任のん押しつけでは責任回避を免れません。今後のトラブルの無いことをお祈りしています。

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Don't be scared - This is a MUST!!

Reviewed by: David

OK, so the idea of going to 'find' sharks as opposed to avoiding them at all costs can take a little getting used to. However once I'd gotten over that, I have to say this is one of the most exhilarating experiences I've had (and enjoyed) on the island.
There's two basic times that you can go out, Super early or Early, Yes that's right, Don't plan on a late night in the bar the night before trying to drum up Dutch courage because this boat leaves early and you want to get your sleep in.

After a leisurely 20-25 mins boat ride out (i think they said about 2 miles) to the dive site you arrive in an open water area, engines are cut and you pull up next to the cage. A quick chat from the crew, and two groups are selected A & B, This ensures you have maximum space in the cage and is a really cool idea.

We climbed in first, GoPro's on and ready to start shooting...

The cage is actually rather large and you definitely want to be up close to the bars hold on, and go down to get your first glimpse... I'm not going to say much more on what you'll see but I will say, This is a guaranteed sharks (plural, many lol) shark tank dive. They big, upclose and personal and you are totally safe in your secure housing...

You get ample time to take selfies, group shots, dive down again, hold the bottom of the cage etc as these amazing creatures swim all around you.

I'd forgot my wrist strap for my cam, No problem, The crew guy noticed as I was getting ready ad gave me a cool wrist-strap for it (thick rubber band!) Awesome Service.

Highly Recommended. 5*

North Shore Private Sunset Horseback Riding & Campfire Dinner at Gunstock Ranch

Love horses

Reviewed by: Jessica

My husband, parents and I really enjoyed the sunset dinner ride. The only thing I wish we could have done was gallop or even cantor a bit. If you are a new rider or inexperienced, this is perfect for you. The views were breathtaking and the guide was great. The food was decent, however when we got done we realized we didn't get the corn on the cob or the pie that was advertised in the add. What we did get was steak, shrimp, rice, macaroni salad, fresh fruit and we made smores over the fire. The best was the fruit and the smores. Overall it was really fun and a great experience.

ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー　迫力満点！至近距離で野生のサメを見学 ＜送迎可＞

The tour is fun, but be careful of seasickness! ツアーは楽しいが船酔いに注意！

Reviewed by: GOK

The tour itself was really fun. The North Shore is famous for its high waves and surfing, so the ride to the destination was quite bumpy. Even I, who usually doesn't get seasick, felt a bit unwell. There were about 4 to 5 other people who also looked like they were feeling sick, and some were even vomiting. If you're joining the tour, don't forget to bring motion sickness medication.

ツアー自体はすごく楽しかったです。ノースショアはサーフィンで有名な高波のビーチなので、目的地まで向かう間はかなり揺れます。普段、船酔いしない私でも気分が悪くなりました。
自分以外にも４～５人気分の悪そうな方がいましたし、吐いている方もおられました。ツアーに参加される方は酔い止めをお忘れなく。

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Expectations...

Reviewed by: -PAUL-

I mentioned this before on the phone. This was fun, but was only able to do one activity. Unfortunately the ad misleads you into thinking you can do whatever activities, whenever. You are allowed to swim, snorkel, bike ride or hike in the morning. Then you can either surf(which you cant cause it will cost you more when you never did it, apparently you have to take a lesson before using their boards), kayak, or stand up paddleboard in the afternoon. It just was a disappointment to have an expectaion of what to get for my day, then not do it. In other words, two spereate locations for the morning and afternoon activities, so majority of your time is traveling. Which is fine, but also would of have a different opinion. Knowing what i know now, i probably would never choosen this activity.
I missed the bus to go to the afternoon location, needless to say i was given the wrong time by tourist, but honsestly by the time i got there, i was out of time. One thing that is odd is the memory game, being dropped off somwhere and being picked up elsewhere. However, the people that works at the snorkel rental place, especially that young kid, clueless to his surroundings. Knew who i was & i who else i was there with in regards of the other party on the tour bus & couldnt inform me of the other party making it back. So knowing the time i had to be picked up, this kid not being observant and missing the bus is all my fault, right? So thanks for that! I had to wait for the city bus to pick me up to find out where the tour bus was to get back on it.
All in all, i only did one activity and did a lot of sitting & waiting around. Snorkeling was fun, but was my excitement was short lived with the turmoil. I had fun snorkeling, and thats about it. Oh yeah, dont worry, ill take care of that bus fare!

It will be a wonderful memory. 素敵な思い出になります。

Reviewed by: chan

Since I attend a riding club, I found the horseback riding a bit lacking in terms of riding experience. Instead of riding along the beach, we rode steadily along the coastline. I thought 40 minutes would be short, but it actually turned out to be nearly an hour of enjoyment. The scenery was lovely and very much like Hawaii, making it a great experience.

I also got to enjoy the garlic shrimp from Macky's, which is difficult to reach on your own, and I was able to try Matsumoto Shave Ice! Shopping at the cute shops in Haleiwa was also fun, so this tour was quite fulfilling.

Moreover, I got to see a sea turtle!!! And I must say, the guide was quite a character (laughs). At first, I was a bit confused, but he created a fun atmosphere and was very knowledgeable about Hawaii. The vibe in the car during the transfers was friendly and cheerful. Since the travel time was long, the atmosphere was important. Looking back, I feel lucky to have had him as our guide.

This is a highly recommended tour where you can enjoy about half of what Hawaii has to offer! Thank you!

乗馬クラブに通ってるので、乗馬という意味では物足りないです。浜辺ではなく、海岸沿いをひたすら常足での騎乗でした。４０分は短いかなと思ってましたが、実際は１時間近かく楽しめました。景色がハワイらしく素敵なのでいい体験になります。
自力で行くことが難しいマッキーズのガーリックシュリンプもいただくことが出来ましたし、マツモトシェイブアイスもトライ出来ました!(^^)!ハレイワの可愛いショップでショッピングも楽しめるので、このツアーはかなり充実しています。
それにウミガメにも逢えました！！！
そして何といっても、ガイドさんがけっこう強烈な方で（笑）最初は？？？と思いましたが、楽しい雰囲気を作って下さるハワイを熟知した方で、移動中の車内は和気あいあいとしていてました。移動時間が長いので、空気感も大事ですね。終わってみればこの方でラッキーだったと思いました。
こちらでハワイの半分位は楽しめちゃったお勧めのツアーです(^_-)-☆

クライムワークス・ケアナファーム　ジップライン体験（3時間）　オアフ島最長800メートルのラインでノースショアの大自然と絶景を満喫＜7本＞

The shuttle service is not available, but the staff and the zipline were fun and good. 送迎はNGですが、スタッフさんとジップラインが楽しくGOOD

Reviewed by: 40代女性　ハワイ2回目

The zip line was physically demanding, but it was exciting and fun! The friendliness of the staff and the enjoyable atmosphere were also very good. My whole family said they were glad to participate.

The start was terrible as we waited 30 minutes for the bus. It was stated that if it didn't arrive in 10 minutes, we should call, so I did, but since it was in English, the conversation didn't go well. I called twice. During the second call, I was told to wait another 10 minutes, and after 30 minutes, the bus finally arrived. The voucher said to wait in front of the Ilikai Hotel, but the pickup was in front of the road, not at the entrance. Also, instead of calling me by name, they shouted "Zip line!" and I almost didn't realize it in time, which was scary.

Once we arrived, the staff were very friendly and created a fun atmosphere. With gestures, I could generally understand what they were saying in English!

First, we registered our profiles and consent on a wall-mounted PC screen. We had to leave all our belongings behind and participate with just our bodies. It was mandatory to use the restroom before joining.

We moved around the site in a jeep, and it was fun with the bumpy ride that splashed mud everywhere.

After that, we slid down the zip line, starting with the staff demonstrating how it’s done. Then, two people at a time took turns sliding. Before sliding, the staff communicated via walkie-talkie to inform each other of who was going next. The instructions before sliding were precise, which made me feel safe.

There are two ways to slide: fast and slow, and they provided a briefing on this. We slid down seven lines, doing various styles including upside down.

The course included climbing down with ropes, using arm strength to pull ourselves up, and a suspension bridge. We also had bananas and nuts to eat and could drink water, making it feel like an obstacle course. There were two zip line options in Hawaii, one in Croatia and this one, but we chose this one because it seemed more fun. I think we made the right choice.

While enjoying the zip line, I was impressed by the staff's skill and professionalism.

I believe my whole family enjoyed it. As a gesture of gratitude, I gave a small tip to two staff members I was able to identify during the tour. After finishing, it seems they go on break, so it’s best to give tips right away if you want to.

Thank you very much.

ジップライン、体力使いましたがエキサイティングで楽しかったです！
スタッフさんのフレンドリーさと楽しい雰囲気もとても良かったです。
家族みんな参加して良かったと言っていました。

スタートは最悪でバスを30分待ちました。10分待ってこなかったら電話と記載があったのでかけましたが、英語なので会話が成立しません。2回も電話かけました。2回目に10分待つように言われて、30分待ちで来ましたが、バウチャーはイリカイホテルの玄関前とありましたが、迎えに来たのはホテル前の道路の前で玄関前には来ませんでした。また「●●さん」と名前で呼ばずに、「ジップライン！」と叫ばれてすぐに気が付かず、乗り遅れなくて良かった。怖い・・と思いました。

現地に付いたら、スタッフさんはとてもフレンドリーで楽しい雰囲気で、ゼスチャーもあるのか英語なのに何を言ってらっしゃるのかが大体解りました！

最初にプロフィールと承諾を壁掛けのPC画面で登録します。
持物は全てあずけて身体一つ。必ずトイレをしてから参加です。

ジープで敷地内を移動しますが、泥が飛んでくるくらいグネグネ運転で楽しかったです。

その後ジップラインを滑走しますが、最初まずスタッフさんが滑って見本を見せてくれます。
その後順番に2名ずつ滑走します。滑走前にはスタッフさんがトランシーバーで連絡を取り合い、誰が滑るかを名前を伝えています。滑る前の滑走の手順も正確で安心して滑れました。

滑り方には速く滑る方法と、ゆっくり滑る方法があります。これをレクチャーしてくれます。
7本滑りましたが、逆さになったり、いろんな滑り方をしました。

コースの中には、上から縄で下に降りたり、下から上に腕力を使って自分を引上げたり、吊り橋があったり、途中バナナやナッツも食べたり、水を飲めたりアスレチックのようでした。
ジップラインはハワイでクロアチアと2つあったのですが、こちらの方がコースが楽しそうだったので私達はこちらを選びました。多分正解でした。

ジップラインを楽しむとともに、スタッフさんの滑走の上手さや仕事ぶりが素晴らしく関心してしまいました。

家族みんな楽しめたと思います。感謝の気持ちを込めて、一緒に回ったスタッフさんで発見できたスタッフさん2名にチップを少しお渡ししました。終了すると休憩に入られるみたいで姿がすぐにいらっしゃる場所が解らなくなりますので、渡したい方はすぐに渡したほうが良いです。

ありがとうございました。

At the ranch, there were free-range donkeys and wild peacocks, and it was fun to interact with them.

家族四人で参加しました。12才と8才の息子もひとりで乗りました。1時間15分で、雄大な景色の中を周り大満足。途中、道にも変化があり、少しスリルのあるところもありました。一生忘れられない経験になりました。

Best Guided Tour EVER! Two Thumbs up WAY UP...

Reviewed by: Brando Quinn

I really had no idea of what was in store for my wife and I when I signed up for the Super Ambassador Full Day Package with Private guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center, it turned out to be the best guided tour we could have ever anticipated! The comfortable Motor Coach picked us up promptly at our designated hotel location. The motor coach driver and guide were gracious and told us various facts, pointed out points of interest along the way, and set the tone for the rest of the day that would be spent at the Polynesian Cultural Center.

When we arrived the group was given their designated tickets and soon our guide a student of BYU University and from the Philippines introduced himself. Datz began our tour and skillfully navigated us through each of the Polynesian Islands exhibits granting us front row seats to each show, gave us back stage tours, and overall made this one of the best tours I have ever been on! We were delighted to experience the rich cultural heritages of each island group, ate fantastic food at the Luau, and were fascinated with the finale show "Ha' The Breath of Life".

Two thumbs up WAY up! Would I recommend this Super Ambassador Package with Private Guide? Absolutely!

The hike was one of the highlights of my trip. I loved the river crossings even though the river made all of my clothes really wet and went up to my chest, since I am only 4'11". Keola taught us many Hawaiian words including freshwater, wai, saltwater, Kai, and Life, Keola. He was very knowledgable about the history of the island and the Kamehameha family. The best part was probably talking with our fellow hikers and the small lake where we ate lunch. We will definitely do one of the other tours as well.

Reviewed by: CapCrush

Last year, I went to Haleiwa, but I didn't have enough time to explore, so I decided to use this service this time. The free exploration time was 200 minutes, which coincided perfectly with lunchtime, so I was able to enjoy the shrimp that the driver recommended, which I had been curious about. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any turtles, but since it's nature, that's understandable. Despite having a somewhat rude customer, the driver handled everything professionally. Thank you very much.
I recommend this for those who want to take their time exploring Haleiwa! Next time, I would like to try horseback riding.

昨年ハレイワへ行きましたが、十分に散策時間がとれなかったため今回こちらを利用しました。自由散策時間が200分で、ちょうどお昼時間にかかっているので、ドライバーさんもおすすめだった、気になっていたシュリンプもがっつり食べることができて良かったです。残念ながら亀には会えませんでしたが、自然相手ですから、それもしょうがないですね。ちょっとルードなお客さんがいたにもかかわらず、ドライバーさん、プロな対応でした。ありがとうございました。

Commercial

Reviewed by: Simon

It was beautiful, fun, exhaustive, but very commercial. I truly wanted to know more about the history of the first Hawaiian, but I was let down on that expectation. The dancers, the show at the end, the luau, the many islands with their respective activities were very interresting and beautiful, though. It's worth it, but dont expect it to replace the viewing of a good documentary. Also, the fact that this olace is ran by Mormons is extremely apparent through many not so subtle references in history plaques, or the simple fact that there was no alcool at the Luau. Still a solid activity, and it was worth it. We had the full day package (110, I think).

I took motion sickness medicine, so I didn't feel seasick at all, and when we boarded, no one felt unwell. I was satisfied with the number of sharks we saw! However, because of the rocking, I couldn't take very nice photos~ ★ It’s expensive, but buying the DVD might be a good idea~. We did (laughs). Since it's something you can't do often, it's worth it (^^)/ I recommend it for those looking for excitement~ (＾◇＾).

Don't worry! It's a gentle horse! 安心して下さい！大人しい馬ですよ！

Reviewed by: karasu246

The weather was really nice on the day of the tour, and I was glad I chose the canyon tour. Although December is not typically a hot season for Hawaii, it can get quite warm in the blazing sun. This tour felt more like a forest tour than a canyon horseback ride, but riding along the winding mountain paths under the dappled sunlight of the trees was very pleasant. Additionally, we were able to see wild boars while crossing the grassy area on the hill.

The horse I rode was one that had been used for polo, and it felt like it was retired and spending its old age in a nursing home. It seemed quite old, large, but very calm and easy to ride. At the pasture, there were some lively horses that looked like they had just recently retired. Since they had been used for polo, they were well-trained and could be controlled with the reins to go left, right, or stop. However, if you zone out, the horse might try to squeeze through the trees, which could lead to branches scratching your arms or legs. It’s best to wear a hat, long sleeves, long pants, and athletic shoes. The tour guide mentioned wearing helmets, but there was no mention of helmets on-site.

You can place valuables in the saddlebag and hang it on the saddle. Once you get used to it, you can hold a camera in one hand and take pictures. Some horses might try to graze along the way, so you need to signal that it’s not allowed; otherwise, you’ll fall behind.

The instructor leading the group was a thin woman named Angel, whose age was hard to tell (maybe quite old?). She wore a Santa-style hat (but in blue with white trim!) and sunglasses, giving her a somewhat quirky appearance. She was constantly chatting, which was entertaining.

Riding a horse for an extended period (it was about an hour, I think) while navigating the winding mountain paths is quite a unique experience. I was glad I chose this tour. If I had to wish for something, I would have preferred a slightly livelier horse (laughs).

当日はとても良い天気で渓谷ツアーを選んで良かったと思いました。12月でハワイとしてはそれ程暑くない季節のようですが、炎天下にいるとかなり暑いです。このツアーは渓谷乗馬というよりは林間ツアーと呼んだ方が合っている感じはしますが、木々の木漏れ日の中のアップダウンの続く山道を馬に乗っていくのはとても気持ちが良いものです。また、丘の上の草原を横切る時には野生の猪を見ることもできました。
馬はポロで使われていた馬で、人間でいうと、仕事を退職して老後を老人ホームで過ごしているという感じかな。かなり年取ってるようで、大きいけど、大人しく乗り易かったです。放牧場の方では、まだ退職したばかりと思われる元気のいいのが走り回っていました。ポロで使われていたため、しっかり調教されていて、手綱で右へ左へ止まれなどコントロールできます。但し、ぼけっとしていると木々のギリのところを通ろうとするので、枝で腕や足をひっかかれます。できれば、帽子・長袖・長ズボン・運動靴がベターです。ツアーの案内には、ヘルメット着用とありましたが、現地ではヘルメットの話は一切ありませんでした。貴重品は鞍掛バッグに入れて鞍にかけておけます。慣れてくると片手でカメラを持って写真も撮れます。また、馬によっては道草(まさに途中に生えている草を食べる）するのがいるので、ダメという意思表示をする必要があります。そうしないとどんどん遅れてしまいます。
先頭を行くインストラクターはエンジェルさんという年齢不詳(かなりの歳？）の痩せた女性。形がサンタ風(でも色が青で白い縁飾り付き！）の帽子をかぶってサングラスをかけた、一見奇妙な感じのお婆さん(ってお爺さんの私が言うのも変ですが）で、ひっきりなしに喋ってる人でした。これも面白かった。
自分で手綱を持って長時間（正味1時間くらいだったでしょうか）馬に乗る、しかも山道をくねくねと登ったり下ったり、なんて中々できない経験だと思います。このツアーを選んで良かったと思いました。欲言えば、自分としてはもう少し元気のいい馬の方が良かったかな(笑）。

Horseback riding on the North Shore. ノースショアで乗馬

Reviewed by: Tabo

I signed up with the assumption that I could ride horses by the beach at North Shore and run them along the shoreline, but that was a naive thought. The trail goes by the coast, but it doesn't reach the ocean. The course is overgrown with tall grass, and the view isn't very good. The horses are well accustomed to people, and even when there were loud noises (like gunshots?), they didn't get agitated. I think this is suitable for beginners.

ノースショアの海辺で乗馬ができる、波打ち際で馬を走らせる事ができるとの勝手な思い込みで申し込みをしましたが甘い考えでした。海岸の側は通りますが海には行きません。コースに背の高い草が茂っており、眺めも余り良くないです。馬は良く人に慣れており、途中大きな音（拳銃の発射音？）がしても暴れることも無かったです。初心者向きの乗馬かなと思います。

I can't believe I can ride a horse for such a long time!! 馬にこんなに長い時間乗れるなんて！！

Reviewed by: かおり

I don't think you can ride horses in such a free manner in Japan. I was a bit anxious at first with just a brief lecture, but I managed to be okay. However, the guide at the front kept explaining everything in English, and I couldn't understand what she was saying at all, so I had no idea about the precautions. Therefore, I regret to say that I just enjoyed it as background music the whole time.

日本ではあんな野放し状態で馬に乗せてもらえることなんてないと思います。
最初にほんの少しのレクチャーのみで不安でしたがなんとか大丈夫でした。
ただ、先頭をいく案内係のおばちゃんがずっと英語で説明をしながらいってくれるのですが、何を喋っているのかさっぱり分からず、注意事項もさっぱりわからずでした。
なので、失礼ながらBGM感覚でずっと行かせてもらいました。

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Worth it

Reviewed by: David

Got the ambassador pkg and the prime buffet. Most folks didn't get the prime buffet. Really enjoyed our time. For me the ambassador package and prime buffet option was really worth it. Even though I had the rental car I took the bus from Waikiki. I think the bus is a must since it was informative and enjoyable and funny and set the stage for fun. Veltra was awesome. They can easily get you booked and all set to go.

Blown by the wind 風に吹かれて

Reviewed by: マハロ

This was my second time horseback riding in Hawaii. The first time, I participated in a local tour at Kualoa Ranch. This time, I was drawn to the seaside course and set off to the ranch by rental car. However, there was no sign at the entrance of the ranch, and after entering a couple of other properties and being told it was the wrong place, it took quite a while to finally arrive. When we got there, there were only four of us as guests, and both the staff and the horses were relaxed. Time to ride! It was written that the riding session would last 45 minutes, but it seemed like we walked slowly. On the sandy beach, locals were enjoying barbecues and sunbathing while listening to music. The horses were quite greedy, lowering their heads to eat grass, which made me a bit nervous, but it was a lot of fun. After horseback riding, we went swimming nearby, and it felt like a private beach. Thank you, Adriana!

ハワイでの乗馬は二回目です。１度目はクアロア牧場の現地ツアーに参加しました。今回は海辺のコースに惹かれてレンタカーで牧場までいざ出発しました。・・・が、牧場の入り口に看板らしきものがなく、２か所ほど他の敷地内へ入っては違うと言われ、たどり着くまで結構な時間がかかりました。着いてみると、客は私たち４人のみで、スタッフも馬ものんびり。いざ乗馬！乗馬の時間は４５分と書いてありましたが、ゆっくり歩いていただいたようでした。砂浜の海辺は現地の人たちが音楽を聴きながらバーベキューや日光浴をしていました。馬たちは食いしん坊で草を食べる度に頭を下げるのでヒヤヒヤしましたが、とても楽しかったです。乗馬の後は牧場の近くで海水浴をしましたが、まるでプライベートビーチみたいでした。アドリアーナさんありがとう！
