Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Great Experience!!

Reviewed by: Kuu

My family and I had a wonderful horseback riding experience. We have been on many trail rides and this was by far the best. The horses were not your everyday trail horse, they were healthy and well taken care of. The staff was very personable and professional. I highly recommend the Hawaii Polo Norths Shore Beach Horseback Riding!! You definitely get what you pay for!

North Shore Sunset & Daytime Horseback Riding with Ocean Views - Gunstock Ranch

Horseback riding at Gunstock Ranch

Reviewed by: Joe Randke

My wife and I enjoyed our visit and horseback riding experience at the Gunstock Ranch. We did not want to go to a heavily commercialized facility for horseback riding. There were a lot of animals at the ranch and the scenery was beautiful. The ride trail was nice and rustic which we wanted in our experience. The guide provided us great instruction and information about the ranch, the area and plants along the trail.
Our only improvement suggestions are for the restroom facility's cleaning cycle, grading and packing the access road and a more legible road sign.

I have been here before, so this was my second visit. Just as amazing as the first time I was there. The students who run the programs are so friendly and knowledgeable. The day is very busy, but so much fun. Definitely worth having the tour guide. The center is kept spotless and all of the shows are enjoyable. The best place to visit to learn about the culture you are visiting. Would visit here every time I am on the island. Great trip! Luau is fun and upbeat. The night show is the best!

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>

It was a valuable experience! 貴重な体験でした!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated with eight male friends. Regarding the pickup, we came from far away, and the driver picked up other participants in order, but we were picked up about 20 minutes late. I was a bit anxious, but I was able to spot the car right away because it had a shark design on it.

Once we got in the car and arrived at the location, there were about 20 participants, including some foreigners, and we boarded the boat to head out to sea. It was quite exhilarating as we sped along, with water splashing like a waterfall, which felt amazing!

When we reached the dive point, we connected the cage to the boat and dived in groups of six. About half of the cage was covered in plastic, but the lower half remained open, which added to the thrill and made it a lot of fun! We got to get up close to a large school of sharks, and my excitement was at its peak! It was a truly valuable experience.

However, almost all the Japanese participants experienced seasickness, so taking motion sickness medication is a must.

男友達8名で参加してきました。
ピックアップについては、遠くから来られて、別の参加者の方も順番にピックアップをしてくるのですが、20分ほど遅れてピックアップされました。少々不安になりましたが車にサメのデザインがされていたのですぐに発見できました。

車に乗って現地に着き、外国人の参加者の方も含めて20名程度でボートに乗って沖にでます。
かなり豪快に走って、水しぶきが滝のように振ってきて気持ちいい!!

ポイントに着くと、檻と船を接続して順番に6名づつでダイブしました。檻の半分くらいはプラスチックで覆われているのですが、下半分は檻のままなので、スリルがあって楽しかったです!!間近でサメの大群に接近できテンションはMAX!!とても貴重な体験となりました。

ただし、日本人はほぼ船酔いをしていましたので、酔い止め薬は必須ですよ。

Be careful of seasickness!! 船酔いには注意!!

Reviewed by: ちぇるしー

This time, I was considering other companies as well, but I decided to go with this one because their pricing was lower. Although the guide was not Japanese, there were Japanese explanations provided on board, so I don't think there will be any issues. However, the driver only spoke English, so the car was filled with foreigners (everyone seemed to be having a good time chatting), and we spent our time enjoying the scenery outside.

When we arrived at the point, the boat stopped, and looking at the sharks from the boat made me feel seasick. During my participation, we entered the cage in three groups, so there was a high chance of feeling seasick before and after my turn. I didn't wear a swimsuit this time since I wasn't planning on going into the cage, but I found out that if I wanted to enter the cage on-site, I could do so for an additional fee, so I wish I had worn it. I believe that for this tour, it’s worth it to go into the cage!

Next time... I’m considering it, but thinking about the boat's stopping time makes me hesitate about participating again, so I should definitely take seasickness medication.

今回、他社さんのほうでも検討していましたが、料金設定が安かったのでこちらでお願いしました。
日本人ガイドではないのですが、ちゃんとツアーは日本語の説明が書かれている物が船内にあって渡されたので、特に困らないと思います。
ただ・・・ドライバーさんも英語のみなので、車内は外人さんばかりでしたが(みんなで楽しそうに会話されていました)外の景色を見ながら車内は過ごしました。

ポイントに到着すると船を停止するので、船内からサメをみていると船酔いしますし、参加した時は3回にわけてゲージに入っていったので、自分の番の前後などに船酔いする可能性が大です。今回、ゲージに入るツアーにしていなかったので、水着を着用していかなかったのですが、現地でゲージに入りたければ+支払いすればOKでしたので、着用していけばよかったと思いました。
船上からよりは、やはりこのツアーはせっかくなのでゲージにはいるべきだと思います!!
次回は・・・・と思いますが、船の停止時間を考えるともう1度参加するかは迷いますので、酔い止めは飲むべきですね。

Reviewed by: Visitor from Kentucky

This was a full day. Prepare to be exhausted by the end of it. BUT it was well worth it. We paid the extra to use our guide for the day (cousin Cissy) which for sure was the best plan since we would not have seen half of the exhibits and demonstrations that he took us to had we gone it alone. Well worth the extra expense. Cousin Cissy was the best guide - he was totally passionate for his culture and very knowledgeable. He genuinely cared that we saw the best of his people. A perfect day out which ended with an amazing show - a must to see. Our only compaint was the food - it was disappointing and bland. But plenty of it so we did not go hungry.

The Polynesian Culture Center was a great experience. The representations of the countries were great. The canoe ride, the canoe parade, and the activities were very well done. Our guides, Hannah and Saydie were awesome. They really made our tour special, and were very informative. The HA fire show was amazing !

The only thing that was disappointing was the dinner. There wasn't much of a variety. I went back for seconds and there was barely any food left, and no fruit. It seemed that we were rushed throught dinner. I was very disappointed in what I thought would be an "authentic" luau.

Hawaiian Horseback Riding Experience ハワイアン乗馬満喫記

Reviewed by: ayachan

I went horseback riding for the first time in a year and a half. I took a bus for about two hours and was planning to walk to the ranch from there, but while walking after getting off the bus, I met a kind couple who offered to drive me! Since I arrived much earlier than planned, I took a nap in a hammock. I rode across the vast ranch with a handsome cowboy named Ross, chatting and learning how to ride better. It took me some time to get used to it since it had been a while, but I had a lot of fun! We also took a commemorative photo with the North Shore sea in the background. I had such a great time horseback riding, but I got too carried away and forgot to give a tip... sorry, next time! When I go horseback riding in Hawaii again, I will request this place!

1年半ぶりに乗馬で駈足してきました。
バスに2時間くらい乗り、そこから牧場まで歩きの予定でしたが、バスをおりて歩いていたら親切なご夫婦に出会い車で送って頂きました♪
予定より早くつきすぎたので、ハンモックでお昼寝等してました。
ハンサムなカウボーイのロスさんと、世間話したり上手な乗り方を教わりながら、広大な牧場を乗馬しました。
久しぶりだったので慣れるまで時間がかかりましたが、とても楽しく満喫できました!!
ノースショアの海をバックに記念写真も撮ってもらいました♪

First, I was healed by the cuteness of the horses in Happy Valley, and then I leisurely explored the town of Haleiwa.

Were entertained by Walter on the road to the Center. Before arriving Walter "strongly" encouraged everyone to purchase the lunch buffet for an additional $15 The buffet was nothing spectacular.

As an "ambassador package group" we were herded around by Elvis. We started out as the first group but somehow ended by late for all the demonstrations. Elvis was in such a rush to get us in place that he provided very little in the way of cultural information. Supposedly the Ambassador group see only the "highlights". The Canoe pageant costumes were first class but the boats looked "tired". Somoa action was well done and very funny. Drumming show in Tonga really energized the audience.

The Luau dinner food was nothing to write home about.

The Pacific show was outstanding but could eliminate the pineapple delight - too much - too messy for such a large audience,,,left trash everywhere in theatre. At a minimum you should end intermission with going through the aisles with tr

Since it was my first time participating, I couldn't understand everything well, so I guess it can't be helped. I was under the impression that I could go horseback riding, so I was disappointed that I couldn't. The advertised horseback riding hike sounded appealing, but I didn't know how to express that, and I would have liked to know how to make the most of my time at Hailewa. The duration of the stay was too long for someone who doesn't ride horses.

HIGHLIGHT OF MY TRIP

When I first started planning my Hawaii trip, this was the NUMBER 1 adventure I wanted to do. How often do you get to say... 'yeah, I swam with sharks'. Now amount of words can describe how amazing, thrill seeking, over the top this adventure was...but I'm going to try. I first want to commend the staff of Hawaii Activities. For the first time in 11 years, the boat broke down the day i was suppose to go. Just my luck But the staff worked their magic and reschedule me and I was able to full-fill the highlight of my trip. It was SOOO unbelievably easy too because they make all the accommodations for you. Once at the boat site, you jump on and set off. I would recommend the earliest time available. The earlier, the smoother the waves FYI. So once out there, you are just in awe. There are sharks. AND you are about to get in a cage surrounded by them! I was so scared but this is something I knew I had to do. So i sucked it up and the moment you put your head under the water.... you are stun
