Choosing the day before the Honolulu Marathon turned out to be a great decision, as there were only the two of us participating that day, which felt like a real bonus!
As we passed through the sandy beach and bushes, our guide, the cowgirl, provided continuous guidance.
Even though my English isn't that great, she spoke slowly enough that I could communicate fairly well.
I was able to enjoy a leisurely ride without getting my clothes dirty from dust.
Depending on the season, you can also see seals and sea turtles.
The cowgirl spotted a sea turtle, but I couldn't see it ^^;
あえてホノルルマラソンの前日を選んだのが良かったのか、当日参加者は私たち二人だけで、すごく得した気分♪
砂浜やブッシュの間を通り抜けながら、ガイドのカウガールがずーっとガイドしてくれます。
英語がそれほど得意ではない私でも、けっこうコミュニケーションが取れるぐらいゆっくり喋ってくれました。
土ぼこりで服が汚れることもなく、のんびりとライディングが楽しめました。
季節によって、アザラシや海亀も見られるようですよ。
カウガールは海亀を見つけましたが、私は見えませんでした^^;

The shark tank was a blast! The crew was fun, professional, lots of energy, they made the experience worthwhile. They made us a video, totally worth the extra $, explained everything extremely well. I was a little unsure as we entered the cage but once we got in and saw all the sharks no fear, just fun. We saw many sharks, they were curious swimming around the cage, they didn't try to ram it or anything crazy. Just a great morning swimming with the sharks! This is a must!!

This was way better than I was expecting. The tour guide Morgan was a wealth of knowledge and even though she had probably ridden the route a thousand times was enthusiastic and talkative. She gave interesting facts about the area and was a great source of information about the island and local places to visit.
I recommend this tour for anyone (even men). I was apprehensive about going as when I showed up with my girlfriend I was the only guy going riding, but it was great and perfect for a beginner horse rider like myself.
The trail is a nice mix of beach and country. A great way to get up close and personal with the hawaiian landscape.
I would recommend this to everyone who is considering it.

“HA Breathe of Life” is the best luau on the island of Oahu. The dinner packages are fantastic you cannot go wrong with either dinner package. Polynesian Cultural Center is a fabulous place to learn about the different cultures that make up Polynesia. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone; you will have a great time.

Horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch is great, but I wanted to try a long ride along the coast! Our family of six participated. Unfortunately, it was rainy, but the staff were friendly and smiling, even though they could hardly speak Japanese. They also took care to cover the saddles with waterproof covers right up until we mounted, which made the whole family very satisfied. Everyone hopes for a chance to ride on a sunny day next time! What stood out the most was how the staff treated the horses like family, and they took great care of them, looking very happy themselves. I sincerely hope they continue this in the future.
クアロアランチなどの乗馬もいいけどロングで海沿いコースの乗馬をしてみたい!とファミリー6人で参加しました。生憎の雨模様でしたが、スタッフの方々の笑顔や日本語はほとんど話せないけれど、とてもフレンドリーでした。また、鞍などにも騎乗直前まで水濡れ防止のカバーをかけてくれる心遣いもあり家族も大満足。今度は快晴の乗馬を期待したいと皆リベンジを希望!!一番感じたのは、スタッフの方々が馬を家族として接しているし馬の手入れもしっかり出来ていてなによりとても幸せそうでした。是非、今後も続けてほしいと願っています。

This year, we went horseback riding again at my daughter's request. Since this was the only place where we could enjoy the seaside, we chartered a car and went for the first time. It was very pleasant, and the wonderful environment and scenery were the epitome of luxury. There is no shuttle service, so it can be inconvenient for those who don't drive, but I think it's worth chartering a ride to experience the vast nature, and I highly recommend it. Since they don't speak Japanese, just smile!
娘の希望で今年も乗馬。海辺を満喫できるのはこちらしか無かったので、車をチャーターして初めて行きました。とても気持ちよく、素晴らしい環境と景色は贅沢の極みでした~。送迎も無いので、運転しない方には不便ば場所ではありますが、チャーターして出向く価値のある広大な自然に大満足されると思いますのでお勧めです。日本語が通じないので、そこば笑顔で!

I was considering going to Kualoa for horseback riding, but I ended up choosing this option because it included visits to places I wanted to see, like Moanalua Gardens, Dole, and the North Shore, and I was able to see sea turtles as well. The famous garlic shrimp was also incredibly delicious. I highly recommend this for those who want to do both sightseeing and horseback riding in a limited amount of time; I’m really glad I chose this option. (The main horseback riding along the coast was, of course, amazing!)
乗馬が目的だったのでクアロアにするか悩みましたが、モアナルアガーデン、ドール、ノースショアと行ってみたい所がセットになっていて、しかもちゃんとウミガメも見れました。名物のガーリックシュリンプもすごく美味しかった。時間がない中で観光も乗馬もしたい方はお勧めですね、こちらを選んで本当によかったです。(メインの乗馬は海沿いでもちろん最高!)

The "Surf Bus" Rocked my world, got timed out and lost my heartfelt compliments. I can't rewrite my praises. It does not do justice. Going to try:
Sam was an amazing guide, the playing, eating, and listening on the North Shore, my taste of heaven. Just visualize; Sea Turtles, tidal pools and an eye to eye with an Eagle Ray, food to die for, and 1000 reasons to keep coming back. An awesome "build your own burger". Surprise yourself and go for it! Not a sit and stare tour, unless your waiting for a set, or focused on sea turtles. You still get to do your driving. Came back exhausted and completed. 50 years in and now I figure out happy. Better late than never.
Mesmerized by the bright smiles, and sense of community that emerged as we talked through our day. 20 people, 5 countries and a bevy of dialects. It was right Kraky, but no worries mate.
@Sam, the Tiki was truly over that rainbow.
Mahalo nui loa!!!

I had a great experience!
During the bus drive to PCC there is a tour guide who is really good on entertaining the crowd while giving important information about Hawaii culture. As you arrive there you are greeted by the employees while checking-in.
After lunch (i've purchased a nice BBQ buffet) I started my tour, the guide was very friendly and took us to each village and we had the chance to participate of many cultural activities.
If you were not able to see all the presentations, don't worry, you can have a small demonstration of each Village during the Canoe Pageant.
If you have time, please check the Hawaiian Journey Theater, you will watch a beautiful movie about Hawaii. I was impressed by the size of the theater. There's also a Tram Tour around Laie town and you can visit the Temple.
By 5pm it starts the Dinner Luau. There is a lot of different options, and they were all delicious! After dinner there's the beautiful show "Ha: Breath of Life". It's a wonderful production!

What an amazing outdoor experience! This hike is a must do if you'd like to get a better understanding of the hidden nature Hawaii has to offer. Our guides, Keola and Marcella, shared a wealth of knowledge and gave us an unforgettable and valuable tour of the forested region of Oahu. Some parts of the trail are strenuous, so be prepared with some good hiking shoes/boots and plenty of water. We also had the opportunity to taste the fruit the trail had to offer, simply delicious. I highly recommend trying this hike if you plan on visiting the North Shore.

Best way to visit the North Shore Area. There is so much to do on this tour I only wished it had lasted longer. We snorkeled at sharks cove where we saw beautiful fish and sea turtles, swam under a waterfall at Waimea Valley, visited sunset beach and turtle beach. We then hung out and ate in Haleiwa town. There are different options to choose from depending on your package. We missed Waimea bay - could not fit into schedule. Maybe next time. Highly recommend if you are NOT renting a car.

I was taken with a group of about 10 people. I thought we would have plenty of time at Dole, but the pineapple train took longer than expected, and we ended up hurriedly eating our soft serve. I think the timing of the train plays a role, but before boarding, the staff takes photos of each group with the train in the background, so we had to wait until everyone was done taking pictures, which took a lot of time before we could depart, especially since it was summer vacation. At the North Shore, we were able to eat garlic shrimp and see sea turtles, which made for a fun experience.

ドールでは時間がたっぷりあると思っていましたが、パイナップル列車に予想以上に時間が掛かり、急いでソフトクリームを食べる感じでした。
列車の来るタイミングもあると思いますが、乗車前にスタッフが1組ずつ列車をバックに写真を撮るため、全員が撮り終わるまで待たなくてはならず、夏休みという事もあって出発するまでにすごく時間が掛かりました。
