Horseback riding can be enjoyed all over the world, and I make sure to experience it wherever I travel. While most clubs typically offer just a basic riding experience, this one responded to our requests and allowed us to canter.
We chose the standard 60-minute course with our guide and the two of us, making a total of three people. At one point, my husband, who has only ridden three times, expressed his desire to try running a bit! The guide happily agreed and took us cantering through the hilly forest right away. After that, we cantered in a wide highland, enjoying an incredible riding experience that you can't find at other tourist riding clubs.
Since we cantered, we ended up with some extra time, so they took a longer route back, and the scenery along the way was absolutely stunning.
Not only was I thrilled that we could canter, but I was also impressed by how incredibly well-trained the horses were. I think many horses at riding clubs often disregard their riders, but the horses here were very responsive! With just a light touch of my legs, they would transition from a walk to a canter!
If you go to Hawaii, you definitely should stop by this place! The donkey was also super cute! The girl who took photos for us captured wonderful pictures, so I think it's a great idea to buy some as souvenirs!
乗馬は世界中で楽しめるので、旅行先では必ず体験しています。
ほとんどのクラブが体験乗馬で終わる事が多いなか、こちらはリクエストに応えて駈足を出してくれました。
ガイドさんと私達2名、計3名で通常の60分コースを選択。
途中、3度しか乗馬経験のない主人が少し走ってみたい!とリクエストしたところ、ガイドの女の子は清くOKしてくれ起伏のある森の中をすぐに駈足してくれました。
その後も広い高原に出て駈足をしたり、他の観光乗馬クラブでは体験出来ないような素晴らしい乗馬をさせて頂きました。
駈足をしたせいで時間が余ってしまったということで、遠回りをして帰ってくれたのですがその途中の景色がとても素晴らしかったです。
今回駈足ができたこともさることながら、馬が驚くほど素晴らしく調教されていることに感動しました。どこの乗馬クラブの馬も大抵乗り役を馬鹿にして反応しないことが多いと思いますが、こちらのお馬さんはとっっっても反応が良いです!!足が触れるくらいの扶助で並足→駈足が出ます!
ハワイに行ったら絶対立ち寄って欲しいです♪
ロバもとっても可愛かった~♪
カメラマンの女の子が素晴らしい写真を撮ってくれるので思い出に買うのも良いと思います!

I participated first thing in the morning!
I checked out using the tablet at the reception.
Including ourselves, there were three groups of nine people and three instructors.
Everything was explained in English, but they also used gestures, so it was enjoyable.
You can take photos, but the number is limited.
Also, it might be a bit pricey at $15 for one photo and $30 for three (laughs).
Purchasing is optional, so if you find something you like, definitely go for it.
The buggies along the way were thrilling and fun!
朝一で参加してきました!
受付にあるタブレットからチェックアウトします。
自分たちを含めて3組9人とインストラクターさん3人とまわりました。
すべて英語でも説明ですが、ジェスチャーも加えて説明してくれますので
楽しく行えました。
写真も撮っていただけますが、枚数は少な目です。
また1枚15ドル、3枚で30ドルとちょっとお高めかも(笑)
購入は自由なので気に入るものがありましたら是非。
途中のバギーも迫力があり楽しかったです!

First time ever swimming with sharks and it was definitely one of the coolest experiences of my life. Naturally, I was pretty nervous but the moment I stepped on the boat and met the owner/boat captain and his two employees I was immediately put at ease. They are all local guys who are extremely knowledgeable about sharks, told us what to expect, and gave very specific instructions. The owner said he has been doing this for 30 years. Plus, they were very kind and personable which added to the experience.The safety swimmer gets in the water before you and is with you the entire time. He will hold your hand if you are nervous. Sharks are misunderstood creatures so put your preconceived notions and fears about them aside and go on this adventure! You won't regret it!

This was a very nice birthday surprise from my wife. I've never gone horseback riding and my wife booked us a family tour and it was GREAT! I was scared at first because I've never rode a horse before, but our Ranglers Tate and Jayden were superb on showing us how to do everything! Tate and Jayden were outstanding. I would definitely ride again with them. They ensured our safety at all times which was a huge plus for me. The ride was amazing, relaxing, beautiful and calming. I could not have asked for a better birthday gift. Not only was the ride great but we all learned some things about horses. Our horses were great also! Def one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii! We really had an Awesome time!
Mahalo for taking the time to review your horseback riding experience!!! Happy Birthday! So fun to hear that the whole family got to enjoy a ride. We will be sure to let Tate and Jayden know. Hope to see you again when you come back. Mahalo

OMG! I booked this tour for my husband's birthday today. It was simply amazing. Initially he was a little apprehensive, but once we started riding he really enjoyed the ride. Our guide was simply the BEST (Tate) He was very informative and knew so much about the ranch and the horses. He made the ride so much fun! We also enjoyed (Jayden) who was our other guide. We can't wait to go back because we will definitely be coming back here to do another tour. The scene was beautiful although it rained some of our ride we still enjoyed it and had a blast!! They make sure you are comfortable and are enjoying every minute of it. It was our kids first time riding as well. They had so much fun until they would like to get horses themselves now. You CAN'T go to North Shore and not do this activity!

Beautiful Ride! We just missed the hurricane that was forecasted to hit the island. There was no rain and the weather was fantastic. We did the beginner ride which took about an hour. We were able to see other animals on the farm. The farm is massive; over 600 acres I believe. Next time I would like to do the intermediate or advanced ride. The staff was very professional and polite. The tour guide was kind enough to give us a background of the history of the farm. I would definitely return and recommend to anybody that this horseback ride was beautiful and romantic. Try the sunset ride if you go with your significant other :)

While the experience was great I would have rather not gone in rough seas. The sea was really rough and was very disappointed that the captain did not scratch the trip. My nephew got sea sick and wasn't able to go in the water and ruined his experience. The rest of our group went in the cage and was bounced around so much that taking pictures were next to impossible. When we got back the captain told us his GoPro did not work. So no pictures.I would have like the captain or company to be more considerate of the conditions.
Warm Aloha Barb,
We regret to hear that the activity was done in rough ocean conditions and that the Go Pro was not working at that time. Should the ocean conditions be dangerous they are good in letting us know right away. We will contact you separately in regards to your nephew not being able to participate in the cage dive. We have spoken to the activity provider and have shared your concerns with them. Thank you once again for taking the time to share your experience with us

It took about an hour and a half to arrive without getting lost from Waikiki. I was really anxious since it was my first time renting a car and I wasn't used to the navigation system, but I was relieved to find it in such an easy-to-find location. I was about ten minutes late for the meeting time, which pushed past the scheduled start time, but we were able to start horseback riding without any issues. There were no Japanese staff or participants who spoke Japanese, but as long as you know some basic English words, communication wasn't a problem.
The ranch is very spacious, and there are plenty of animals like goats and birds roaming around, which is quite soothing. The horseback riding lasted an hour and a half, and for someone who hasn't ridden in a while, it was a sufficient amount of time to the point where my backside started to hurt. When we reached the top of the mountain, we were able to see the ocean, which was a beautiful spot for photos.
I enjoyed horseback riding at a leisurely pace, and on the way back, we were able to stop by the nearby North Shore. Compared to other optional tours where you have to stick to a schedule with others, this experience allowed us to move at our own pace, making for a day that felt relaxed both in mind and time. If I were to go horseback riding in Hawaii again, I would definitely want to come back here.
ワイキキからレンタカーで1時間半ほどで迷わず到着しました。
初めてのレンタカーでナビにも慣れないままのレンタカーでとても不安だったのですが本当に分かりやすい場所にありホッとしました。
集合時刻に10分ほど遅れて予定開始時刻を過ぎましたが問題なく乗馬を開始できました。
スタッフや他の参加者に日本人や日本語が通じる方はいないのですが、最低限の英単語を知っていれば会話も問題なかったです。
牧場はとても広く、ヤギや鳥など動物もたくさん放牧されていて癒されます。
1時間半の乗馬でしたが久々に乗馬をしたわたしはお尻が痛くなるほどの十分な時間の乗馬でした。
山の頂上へ行くと海が見えるとてもきれいな場所で写真も撮って頂けました。
時間たっぷり乗馬を楽しめ、帰りは近くのノースショアへ立ち寄ることができ、他の方と行動を共にするオプショナルツアーよりこちらの方が自分たちのペースでゆっくり自由に行動ができ、心にも時間にも余裕のあった1日でした。
ハワイで乗馬をするならまたここでしたいです。

My first time on a zip line. I participated with my wife, and it was so much fun. At first, I was nervous, but once you slide once, you quickly get used to it. Our group consisted of eight foreigners and the two of us, totaling ten people. The oldest participants were probably a couple in their 70s, which was quite surprising. However, we all managed to enjoy the zip tour together safely. The guides explained everything in English, so I didn't understand everything, but it wasn't a problem as I could follow along by watching their gestures. Along the zip line, there were places to drink water and enjoy natural nuts, as well as snacks like tomatoes and apple bananas, adding a bit of a walking atmosphere to the experience. One of the guides was called "Captain," and he really livened up the tour. If you go next time, try to find that Captain. If you meet him and say "いっぱいたのしい" (it's so much fun) in Japanese, I think you'll become friends right away. I plan to participate again if I have the chance.
生まれて初めてのZIPLine。妻と二人で参加しましたが、とっても楽しかったです。最初は緊張しますが、1回滑ればすぐに慣れます。私らの組は、外国人の方8名と私たちの10名でした。最高年齢は、たぶん70代の老夫婦の方で、こちらの方が、もうビックリでした。でも無事、皆で楽しくZIPツアーを体験することができました。ガイドは全員が英語で説明されるので、内容はよく分かりませんが、身振りを見ていれば問題ありません。ZIPLineの途中で、水を飲める場所や自然のナッツを食べれたり、トマトやアップルバナナをつまめるなど、ちょっとした散歩的な雰囲気も味うことができます。ガイドさんの中に「隊長」と言われる方いて、ツアーを盛り上げてくれました。今度行かれる方は、その隊長を探してみてください。隊長と逢えたら「いっぱいたのしい」と日本語で言えば、直ぐに仲良くなると思います。また機会があれば、参加しようと思っております。
