All Reviews for Kid Adventures (Ages 8-12)

The activities themselves and the staff were good, but the shuttle tour was quite stressful.

First, the meeting time was 7:45, but the car did not arrive. There were other Westerners at the meeting point, and we were all waiting together, confirming that the shuttle had not come. At 8:05, one shuttle arrived. I felt relieved and tried to get on with others, but our names were not on the list. When I asked the driver, he said another car would come, so we had to wait... We had already been waiting for 20 minutes, and we were the only Japanese left behind. I started to worry whether our reservation was confirmed.

Even at 8:15, the car had not come. It was getting too late, so I left my companions and ran to the hotel front desk to make a call. However, I was told that they were delayed due to traffic and to wait another 10 minutes, so I ran back to the meeting point.

At 8:30, even after waiting more than the 10 minutes they mentioned, the car still had not arrived. I started to feel like canceling. For now, I ran back to the hotel front desk and called again. I was told it would come soon, so I ran back to the meeting point. Standing outside for so long made me anxious and angry, and I was getting tired.

At 8:40, the shuttle finally arrived. Since most of the passengers were Japanese, it seemed to be a car that gathered Japanese tour participants. Later, I found out that others had also been waiting without knowing what was going on.

Inside the car, the driver apologized for the delay, but since it was in English, I couldn't fully understand the reasons. We arrived at the destination safely. The activity itself was 20 minutes late, but I was in a group with other Japanese participants, and the staff were fun, plus the scenery was great, so it turned out to be a wonderful time.

Around 13:00, the activity ended. We collected our belongings and selected photos, but since we hadn’t been informed about the return meeting time, we just waited. At 13:30, since it was hot outside, the driver kindly let us into the car. I appreciated that.

However, while all the Japanese participants who did the activity got on, we had to wait because the members from the outbound shuttle were not all present. At 14:15, the remaining person arrived, apologizing as they got on. We departed, but I had expected to be back in Waikiki by 14:30, which messed up my plans for the day. I thought if they had informed us of the return meeting time, we wouldn’t have been delayed this much.

Around 15:30, we returned to the hotel in Waikiki.

As I mentioned, I cannot trust the shuttle timing at all. Additionally, all communication is in English, and using a mobile phone abroad is difficult, which made me very anxious and stressed. The staff were all nice, and the activity was enjoyable, but it seems that no one is managing or taking responsibility for the schedule and timing of the optional tour with shuttle service. In this situation, I cannot recommend it to others, and I think improvements are necessary, so I will give it one star.

アクティビティ自体も、スタッフも良かったですが、送迎付きツアーとしてはストレスが溜まりました。
まず、集合時間7:45でしたが車が来ない。欧米人の方も待ち合わせ場所にいて、お互い同じツアー参加者で送迎車が来ないことについて確認したりして待っていました。
8:05に一台の送迎車が到着。ほっとして他の方と一緒に乗り込もうとしますが、私達の名前はなく、運転手に聞くと、もう一台車が来るから待つようにと…既に20分待っている上、残されるのは日本人の私達だけ。予約が取れているのか不安になります。
8:15になっても車は来ない。いくらなんでも遅すぎるので同行者を残し、ホテルのフロントに走り、電話をかけます。しかし、道路渋滞？のため遅れているからと、あと10分まつように言われ、集合場所に走って戻ります。
8:30、言われた10分以上待っても車が来ない。キャンセルしたくなってきます。とりあえずもう一度ホテルのフロントに走り、再度電話します。すぐ来ると言われ、また集合場所に走って戻ります。ずっと外で立ちっぱなしでいることもあり、不安と怒りで疲れます。
8:40、やっと送迎車到着。大半が日本人だったので、日本人のツアー客を集めた車のようです。後で聞いてみると、他の方もよく分からずずっと待っていた様子。
車の中で、運転手が遅れたことを謝っていましたが、英語なので理由等はよくわかりませんでした。
無事に現地到着。アクティビティ自体は20分遅れでしたが、他の日本人の方と一緒のグループでしたし、スタッフさんも楽しい方で、景色も良く最高の時間でした。
13:00頃アクティビティが終了。荷物を回収したり、写真を選びますが、帰りの集合等は聞いていないためそのまま待ちます。
13:30、外が暑いため、運転手さんが気を利かせて、車の中に入れてくれました。これはありがたかったです。
しかし、一緒にアクティビティをしていた日本人は全員乗り込みましたが、行きの送迎車のメンバーが揃っていないため、この状態で待ちます。
14:15、まだ来ていなかった方が謝りながら乗車。出発しましたが、14:30にはワイキキに戻れると思っていたため、当日の予定が狂います。最初に帰りの集合時間等を知らせておけばこんなに遅れなかったのでは？と思いました。
15:30頃、ワイキキのホテルに帰着。

以上のとおり、送迎については時間が全く信用できません。また、やりとりは全て英語になりますし、海外では携帯も使いづらいため、とても不安で、ストレスが溜まりました。
スタッフは皆さん良い方でしたし、アクティビティも楽しかったですが、送迎付きのオプショナルツアー記載の日程や時間については、誰も管理されてないし、責任もないのだと思います。
この状態では他の人におすすめはできないのと、改善した方が良いと思うので、星は1つにします。

Sharks that I've only seen in aquariums gracefully approach me, waving their fins right in front of me. The safety is guaranteed, so I can watch them without any anxiety.

Please take a moment to see a wild shark.

今まで水族館でしか見たことのない鮫が、目の前で優雅にヒレを振り近づいてきます。安全性も担保されており、全く不安なく見ていられます。

是時一度野生の鮫の姿を見て下さい。

This was, quite simply, AMAZING! The crew were all super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. As soon as we reached the snorkel spot we saw sharks, which came pretty close. We would absolutely do this again.

It was a very safe. We had a really good time! We got some really good pictures! The crew was very knowledgeable about the sharks & their environment! We was concerned about it being safe. We read review & safety records. These Guys stood up to there reputation. They were very professional!

It was one of the most amazing times my family has had. The atv ride to the top was fun and then all the lines had the most beautiful views. Joey Riley, and Reese where great guides they were very informed about the ranch we were on and made all of us comfortable enough to go upside down but be end of the day. Would definitely do again.

Our guide Keola was the best. He provided us with valuable information about the eco system, history about the North Shore and Hawai’i and safety information during the hike.

The area is absolutely stunning. If you want to do something away from the commercial and touristy stuff in Waikiki this is a great way to see Hawai’i in all its beauty.

I would ensure you wear good hiking shoes or trail running shoes. Also this hike is not a leisure walk. You will earn your lunch.

The guides were great - took very good care of us, kept us at a great pace, very knowledgeable of the land and horses. The scenery was fantastic - walked along the shoreline of the beach. The horses were well-behaved - easy to direct, very sweet! Two adults, three middle school children who had never ridden before - very family-friendly...we had a great time!

I was a bit anxious about the English-only guide, but it was longer and more enjoyable than the zip lines in Japan. It was a bit pricey with the transportation included, but it was a great experience.

英語ガイドのみで不安もありましたが、日本のジップラインより長くて楽しめました。送迎付きで少しお高いですが、いい経験が出来ました。

Although I couldn't speak Japanese, the reception staff taught me how to check in using a tablet, making the check-in process very easy.

日本語が通じないが　受付スタッフの方たちが
タブレットにての受付を教えてくれるので　チェックインも簡単にできた

I took an Uber to get there.
From the road, I could see a green-roofed waiting area with several chairs and a table that had a simple guide in Japanese on how to ride.
There were only me and my daughter, a white man, and a cute girl who guided us, making a total of three people.
We enjoyed a leisurely horseback ride through the fields and North Shore.
Sometimes the horse would stop to eat grass or urinate, which was also fun.
We thoroughly enjoyed 90 minutes on the North Shore.
If you're expecting a fast-paced ride, it might feel a bit lacking, but if you want to relax and enjoy, it's perfect.
Since there were no other Japanese people in the later group, it felt very Hawaiian.
I was a bit anxious because the Uber driver who brought us said it would be difficult to get an Uber back, but I was able to ride after waiting for 20 minutes.
I think it's a bit far from Waikiki, but I highly recommend this horseback riding experience.

ウーバーに乗って行きました
道路から見える緑色の屋根が待合室で椅子が何客かありテーブルに日本語で書かれた簡単な乗り方の説明書が置いてありました
日本人は私と娘だけで白人の男性一人で計三人で可愛い女の子がガイドしてくれました
野原、ノースショアをとことこ乗馬して
たまに馬が草を食べて動かなくなったりオシッコしたりで脱線しますがそれも楽しかったです
90分たっぷりノースショアを堪能しました
走る乗馬を期待している方は物足りないかもしれませんがのんびり楽しみたいなら最高です
後発のグループも日本人がいなかったのでハワイ感がありました
帰りのウーバーを期待するのむずかしいと
乗せて来てくれたウーバーの運転主が言っていたので不安でしたが20分待ってのることが出来ました
ワイキキからはちょっと遠いとは思いますが
とってもお勧めの乗馬です

There are few activities that small children can do, and this place has a calm atmosphere with fewer people. The staff was kind, and we were able to enjoy it as a family. Even those who don't ride can walk alongside, allowing for photos during the ride. It became a wonderful memory, spending time exclusively as a family rather than in a group like at places such as Kualoa Ranch.

小さな子供ができる数少ないアクティビティで人も少なくゆっくりとした雰囲気でスタッフの方も優しくて家族で楽しむことが出来ました。乗馬しない方も歩いて付き添う事が出来るので乗馬中の写真なども撮ることができます。クアロアランチのように団体で、ではなく家族オンリーの時間を過ごす事ができる素敵な思い出になりました。

Barely arrived on spot, shark fins started to show around our boat. That alone was already impressive and exciting!
While in the cage, you get to admire them gracefully swim around and under the cage... beauty!

Few tips:

- Waterproof phone pouch with wrist lanyard recommended to take underwater videos, we're so glad we had one! Just make sure not to live the whole experience through your phone ;)

- Even if you're not sea/motion sick, I suggest you have a ginger chew or two (Chimes brand are good). This will help settle your stomach as it can get bumpy under there.

Big thanks to our guides, very chill and knowledgeable!

PS: we also got to see dolphins splashing and following our boat on the way back, that was also priceless!

Wonderful experience ! Me and my friend will never forget it !

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It lasted about 1 hour and 15 minutes, I think. I was horseback riding. I was able to have a dynamic and refreshing ride while walking along the sea of the North Shore. However, the course and the order of walking are predetermined, so it might be a bit unsatisfying for those who are experienced in horseback riding. Nevertheless, you can still ride at breathtaking viewpoints.

十分過ぎるほど堪能しました。1時間15分くらいかな？乗馬してました。ノースショアの海の横を歩きながらダイナミックでさわやかな乗馬が出来ました。どうしても決められたコース、歩く順番も決められてるので、乗馬慣れしている方には物足りないかもしれません。ですがそれにも負けない、絶景ポイントで乗馬出来ますよ。

Everyone except us was from the West! I had high expectations after reading the reviews, but it wasn't simple English; it was quite advanced. I managed with the Japanese explanations on the consent form and the sign for how to slide. I think it would be difficult if trouble arises and you don't have the English skills to explain yourself.

The zip line offers a sense of freedom and the thrill of speed! You can see the ocean from the first two lines. Most of the area is a farm, so there's a lot of greenery. There are two safety harnesses, and they use very high ones with locks, so I felt safe sliding. The upside-down part was on the last line, and I mostly slid normally!

Westerners tend to be heavier, but I think people under 50 kg need to lift their legs to make it through most of the lines. If you stop midway or bounce back, it uses up the staff's effort.

In addition to the zip line, there are experiences like a suspension bridge and a vertical drop. There was also a part where you have to pull yourself up with just your arms, but that was very tiring; a woman from a foreign couple became grumpy (laughs).

I dropped my phone at the end, but luckily, the staff witnessed where it fell and found it unharmed. Tipping is not particularly required, but since they found my phone, I gave them a tip.

The staff will take care of your belongings! There was a locker for valuables, but I wasn't guided to it. For my belongings, there were no numbers; I just communicated the color, and it was retrieved with that exchange. The security is quite low.

Personally, I think it was below my expectations? I might have had high hopes from reading too many reviews.

自分達以外みんな欧米人でした！クチコミ読んで期待を抱いていましたが、簡単な英語とかではなくバリバリの英語です。承諾書と滑り方の看板の日本語の説明でなんとかと言った感じでした。トラブルが起きたときなど、自分のことを説明できる英語力がないと困ると思います。
ジップラインは開放感と速さのスリルを味わえます！景色も1.2本は先に海が見えたりします。ほとんどは農園なので緑が広がります。安全帯も2本あり、ロック付きのとても高いものを使っていて安心して滑ることができました。逆さまになるのは最後の方の1本で、ほとんど普通に滑りました！
欧米の方は体重がありますが、多分50キロ以下の人はほとんどの本数足を上げて滑らないと最後まで行けません。途中で止まったり、反動で帰ってしまうとスタッフの労力を使ってしまうことになります。
ジップラインだけでなく吊り橋や垂直にゆっくり落ちる体験もあります。自分の腕だけで上に上がるのもありましたが、これは非常に疲れました、外人のカップルの女の人は不機嫌になっていました(笑)
最後に携帯を落としてしまいましたが、スタッフが落ちたところを目撃してくれていて幸運にも無傷で発見してもらえました。チップは特段要求されませんが携帯を見つけてもらったので払いました。
荷物はスタッフが預かってくれます！貴重品ロッカーはあったけど案内されませんでした。荷物は番号とかなくて、何色か伝えて、これ？と言ったやりとりでとってもらう感じです。セキュリティ一は低いです。
個人的には期待より下だったかな？口コミを読みすぎて期待が大きかったのかもしれません。

I was able to ride comfortably in the great outdoors. Each time, there is some kind of mission, and I sometimes couldn't let go due to fear, but the overall feeling was exceptional. You can purchase the photos taken for an additional fee, but it was disappointing that they were mostly out of focus. However, that doesn't affect my overall evaluation this time.

大自然の中を気持ちよく乗ることができました。
毎回、何かしらのミッションがあるのですが、怖さのあまり手を離せなかったりしましたが、それ以上に気持ち良さは格別です。
別料金で、撮った写真を購入できますが、全体的にピンぼけしてたのが残念でした。それは今回の評価とは関係ありません。

Great tour to do if you are not familiar with Oahu. Our driver, tour guide, lunch server etc. was outstanding. Very informative and patient. I highly recommend Oahu Nature Tour. Our tour guide was Monique in case you have a choice. We attended this tour on 28 May 2019. Lunch was included at Fumi's Shrimp Shack

When we arrived at the port, a suspiciously named boat called "Dangerous" came to greet us (laughs). Although they didn't speak Japanese, I could feel the staff's consideration. There was a manual in Japanese.

As soon as we set off, we saw a large group of dolphins swimming! The boat rocked quite a bit, and since I had read reviews, I took motion sickness medication beforehand. By the return trip, about half the people were feeling groggy, so the medication is essential.

Also, it was cold! Perhaps due to the weather, the sea at the activity site was chilly, and the return boat was extremely cold, so it's necessary to prepare for that. There were quite a few sharks. We could see them in groups for about ten minutes. At first, it was thrilling, but I gradually got used to it.

It was a great experience to snorkel with sharks, something you don't get to do often.

港へつくと「危ない」という怪しげな名前の船がお迎えに来てくれました（笑）日本語は通じないですが、スタッフの方がの気遣いがわかりました。
日本語での説明書はありました。
出発するとすぐにイルカの大群が泳いでるのが見れました！
船はかなり揺れます、口コミを見ていたので酔い止めを飲んでいきました。
帰りには半分くらいの人がグロッキーになっていましたので、酔い止めは必須です。
あと、寒い！天気のせいか実施場所の海も冷めで帰りの船がめちゃくちゃ寒いので対策必要です。
サメは結構いました。だいたいグループで１０分見れる感じです。
最初はドキドキでしたが、さすがにだんだん慣れてきます。
なかなか体験できないサメとのシュノーケル良かったです。

The pickup was about 15 minutes late.
It’s a car marked with "Keana Farm Zipline," so you can just wait at the meeting point.

The instructors can understand simple Japanese.
However, the explanations for the zipline and during the ride were in English, so I couldn't understand the conversations or jokes.
There was a spot along the way where we could break and eat bananas and macadamia nuts.
Communication with the instructors was manageable, so it was fine.
It was really fun!
You can bring your own camera; I had my iPhone, but I thought a GoPro would have been better.

送迎は15分遅れぐらいで来ました。
ケアナファームジップラインと書かれた車なので集合場所で待っていれば大丈夫です。

インストラクターさんたちは簡単な日本語なら通じます。
ですが、ジップラインの説明や回っている最中は英語なので会話やジョークなどがわからなかったです。
途中でバナナやマカダミアを割って食べれるところがありました。
インストラクターさんたちとのコミュニケーションはなんとかなるので大丈夫です。
とっても楽しかったです！
カメラも持ち込み可で、iPhoneを持ってたのですが、GoProのが良かったなと思いました。

I went to the point and swam in the cage, but the swaying was intense, and the time I could enjoy was reduced. Motion sickness medication is a must. The sharks were smaller than I expected, and they seemed accustomed to humans, so they weren't particularly intimidating.

ポイントまで行き檻に入って泳ぎましたが揺れがすごく楽しめた時間は少なくなってしまいました。
酔い止め必須ですね。
サメも思っていたより小さく人間慣れしているのか特に迫力はなかったです。

It was just as I expected⭐️ My husband, who has a fear of heights, participated despite his reluctance, and it was a great experience⭐️ I want to go again⭐️

期待通りでした⭐️
高所恐怖症の夫も、無理やり参加しましたが、
良い体験でした⭐️

また、行きたいです⭐️

Since the waves are less impactful, it was recommended to depart early in the morning, so I booked the 09:00 tour. It was expensive to include a shuttle, so I chose the plan to meet at the location with a rental car. It took about an hour to arrive from Honolulu. The reception and tour guide spoke only English, but there were also Japanese informational signs, so it wasn't inconvenient.

We arrived at the point about 20 minutes after departure, and many sharks gathered around the boat. When we arrived at the point, the waves were high, and I thought motion sickness medication was essential. Each group of 7-8 people entered the cage. I brought an underwater camera, but due to the waves, I couldn't take good photos. However, I was moved by the sight of sharks gracefully swimming right in front of me.

The zip line experience was amazing. The check-in is done on a tablet. After that, you put your belongings in a locker, which is quite small, so only valuables can fit. Other items can be stored at the reception. After putting on the gear, we set off. The instructions are in English, but you can understand them through the instructor's demonstration. Along the way, there are snacks like water, tomatoes, macadamia nuts, and bananas to keep you energized. I was satisfied with all seven zip lines. The movement felt like an athletic course and required some physical effort, but with support, it was manageable even for someone in their 50s. There was a helmet available for GoPro use. Since we experienced it with about ten people, it was a fun experience.

ジップライン最高でした。
受付は、タブレットで入力です。その後手荷物をロッカーに入れるが、かなり小さく貴重品のみです。その他は受付で保管してもらえます。装具を着けて、出発です。説明は英語ですが、インストラクターの見本で分かります。途中に水、トマト、マカデミアンナッツ、バナナがあり小腹を満たします。ジップライン７本共満足しました。移動がアスレチックコース的で体力使いますが、サポートも有り50代でも問題ありませんでした。GoPro用ヘルメット⛑有りました。10人位で体験するので、楽しく体験出来ました。

We had a great tour with (creepy) Uncle Kevin today on the North Shore of Oahu! We've been touring all around the world and can seriously rank Uncle Kevin as one of the best tour guides. The Surf Bus has the right equipment, the right itinerary and an excellent attitude. The bus was on time at every stage and Kevin had good solid connections at every stage. He took the time to work with each group on tour to insure they had the right experience. Some of the stops had multiple options and he was able to call ahead to report those options to the vendor. Kevin recommended great food and knew how important this is to an all day tour. One unmistakable clue that Kevin really knows what he is doing is that he knew so many of the other folks involved with the tour on a personal level. He's a local. He knew all of the answers because he grew up here.

Great attention to detail makes for a great tour. Uncle Kevin obviously knows what he is doing and we look forward to going on another Oahu tour with him soon. Also, kudos to the bus company. They had the right equipment and marketing to make Kevin's expertise shine.

Thanks to my creepy uncle Kevin from Oahu. Mahalo!

The staff seemed unable to speak Japanese, but instructions were provided in Japanese, so there was no need to worry about the language barrier. The horses were well-trained and walked straight even for complete beginners. I chose this place because you can start riding from the age of eight. The staff kindly took family photos and individual pictures while we were riding, which made for a great keepsake.

スタッフは日本語が話せないようでしたが説明書などが日本語で用意されていて言葉の不安は不要でした。
馬は良く調教されていてまったくの初心者でも真っ直ぐに歩いてくれます。
８歳から乗馬できるのでここにしました。
スタッフも親切に乗馬をしている家族写真や単独写真を撮ってくれて、良い記念になりました。

The nature in Hawaii, the kindness of the staff, everything was great. I recommend it to everyone going to Hawaii! It might be tough for those with a fear of heights.

ハワイの自然、スタッフの優しさ、すべて良かったです。ハワイに行く皆様にオススメします！高所恐怖症の方には厳しいかもしれません。

First of all, Japanese is hardly understood here. Even if you're not good at English, it's better to have at least a basic understanding to keep up. Those who think they can get by without knowing any English in Hawaii might find some things difficult to understand. Many guidebooks mention that Japanese is often not spoken in the North Shore, and that's quite accurate.

There are seven zip lines, but the first one is a practice zip line that is about 300 meters long (including this practice, there are eight zip lines in total). After a brief explanation of the harness and equipment installation precautions, you jump right into the practice. There's no time to be scared; you just have to dive in (laughs). The first tower is about 7 to 8 meters high, I think. As someone with a fear of heights, I couldn't afford to be scared and went for the first practice. Family members and other participants also had to take their turns without hesitation. Once this practice was over, we took a nine-person buggy to the top of the mountain for the main event. The eight main zip lines started from there. There was a brief downpour during the ride, but the two hours flew by.

As the name "Keana Farm" suggests, we slid down over the farm, which felt really nice, and I think the longest zip line of 800 meters is possible because it's on a farm. The kids were also having a great time without any fear.

　まず・・・日本語はほとんど通じません。英語が得意で無くとも何と無くやっとついて行ける程度で良いので分かった方が良いです。ハワイだから英語は微塵も分からなくて大丈夫と腹をくくってる人には逆に理解できないところが少し有るかも知れません。色んなガイドブックにノースショアの方は日本語が通じない事も多いと書かれてありますがそれに近いです。
　７本のジップラインですが、最初のにいきなり300メートルくらいの練習ジップライン（この練習を含めると８本のジップライン）。ハーネスや金具の取り付け注意事項の説明の後すぐこの練習用で実践です。怖いとか言っている暇は無く有無を言わさず飛び込むしか有りません（笑）。最初の塔は７～８メートルくらいは有るのでしょうか。高所恐怖症の私ですが怖いなんか言ってられず１本目の練習を実践。家族や他の参加者の方々も次々と有無を言わさず順番が回ってきます。この練習が終われば本番の為９人乗りのバギーで山頂へ。ここから８本、本番がスタートです。途中スコールも数分降りましたが２時間強があっという間でした。
　ケアナファームと言うだけあって、農園の上を次々と滑り降りていくのでとても気持ちよく最長800メートルという長さを経験できるのも農場だからなのだと思います。
　子供たちも怖がらずとっても楽しんでました。

The oldest participant was 69 years old, and the youngest was 2 years old. We were looking for activities that everyone could enjoy, and we requested this horseback riding experience. The local staff do not speak Japanese, but they are friendly and kind, using gestures to communicate, so I think even those who are not good at English will be fine.

First, they asked if we wanted to wear helmets, and if we chose not to, we were asked to sign a consent form. Then, under the guidance of Sheina, my 2-year-old daughter rode a pony while the adults rode larger horses, taking a leisurely 20-minute walk in a single file through the grasslands and bushes. The horses ridden by the adults would sometimes stop to eat grass, so we had to kick the stirrups to encourage them to move forward, or pull the reins to bring them back into line if they started to walk too fast. It was a very valuable experience to operate the horse by ourselves for the first time.

At the end, my daughter was allowed to brush and feed the pony she was riding, and she was overjoyed (laughs). Even after returning home, she keeps talking about the pony (laughs). The only downside is that there is no transportation provided, so we had to make our own way to the North Shore. However, since we really wanted to go to Gunstock Ranch, we decided to charter a guided car and combine it with a tour of Haleiwa.

The grounds are vast, and the scenery seen while riding the horses is incredibly beautiful. The pleasant breeze and climate were very soothing. I would like to visit again when I come to Hawaii.

最年長は69歳、最年少は2歳、みんなでできるアクティビティーを探していてこちらの乗馬体験をお願いしました。
現地の方は日本語が話せないのですが、フレンドリーで親切な身振り手振りで教えてくれるので英語が苦手な方でも大丈夫だと思います。
最初にヘルメットをかぶるか聞かれて、かぶらない場合は同意書にサインを求められます。
そしてシェイナさんの先導で2歳の娘はポニー、大人は大きな馬に乗って草原や茂みを約20分一列縦隊でお散歩するのですが、大人の乗る馬は途中で草を食べ始めたり止まったりするので、その都度あぶみを蹴って前進を促したり、逆に早足になったら手綱を引いて列に戻るよう促したりと、自分で馬を操作するなんて初めてのとても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
最後は2歳の娘が乗っていたポニーにブラッシングやえさやりをさせてくれて、娘は大喜び（笑）帰国してもずっとポニーの話をしています（笑）
唯一の難点は、送迎がないのでノースショア方面まで自分で行かなければいけないことですが、どうしてもガンストック牧場でお願いしたかったのでガイド付きの車をチャーターしてハレイワ観光とセットで行くことにしました。
敷地が広大で馬に乗って見る景色は大変美しく、心地よい風と気候で癒されました。またハワイに訪れる際は立ち寄りたいと思います。

Our tour guide and bus driver were both very knowledgeable and were easy to understand. We were given ample time at each stop to be able to see sights and take pictures. Lunch was very tasty. This is definitely one tour that I would recommend to friends and family.

I had a very enjoyable time. On the day of the event, I got caught in traffic and was a bit late, but I was able to participate without any major issues.

I attended with a group of nine people, including elementary school students. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the attractions. Personally, I was most excited about the first buggy ride. Among the many tours available, I highly recommend this attraction. I believe you won't regret signing up.

As for tips, someone mentioned it, but there was no particular request for them.

とても楽しい時間でした。
当日、渋滞に巻き込まれ、少し予定時刻に遅れてしまいましたが、大きな問題なく参加出来ました。

小学生を含めた9人での参加。
全員がもれなく楽しめたアトラクションでした。
個人的には、1番最初のバギーが1番興奮しました。
数あるツアーの中でも、お勧めのアトラクションです。申し込んで、損はないと思います。

チップは何方かが書かれてましたが、
特段要求される事はありませんでした。
