Skydiving became the best memory. However, on the way back, instead of being dropped off at my hotel, I was suddenly told to get off in front of a completely different hotel, and I ended up having to make a long journey back. My excitement quickly faded.
スカイダイビングは最高の思い出になりました。
ですが、帰りのホテルまでの送迎のはずがなぜか全然違うホテルの前で突然、ここで降りろとその後遠い道のりを帰る羽目になってしまった。
最高だった気持ちが一気に冷めてしまいました。

My first skydiving experience became the best memory!
Since I participated alone, I requested a tour with transportation. When I arrived at the designated location at 6:50 AM, the guide came to pick me up. It was a coincidence, but the staff spoke Japanese, and we had a fun conversation on the way.
Upon arrival, I checked in using an iPad. Everything was in English, but it mainly covered the content that if you get injured, it's your own responsibility. If you don't understand, the staff can explain the general content in Japanese.
It seems that there is a set order for jumping, so I waited until I was called. Whether you can jump also greatly depends on the weather that day; if there are too many clouds, you can't jump, and there's a possibility of cancellation. They monitor the timing until a gap in the clouds appears. While waiting, the staff who spoke Japanese taught me the proper form for jumping and was very considerate.
When it was time to prepare for the jump, I greeted my instructor! They greeted me in broken Japanese! I responded in broken English! Haha. The instructor also provided a lecture on the form after jumping, giving instructions in Japanese!
I boarded the Cessna, and off we went into the sky! Once the first diver jumped, the others followed quickly, leaving no time to feel scared, and instead, it was just pure enjoyment! It felt like the free fall lasted longer than the one minute they mentioned. After that, the parachute opened, and we descended while spinning! This might depend on the instructor, but I was having so much fun spinning that they kept doing it! I think if I had been scared, they would have let me descend more gently.
Afterward, I received something like a skydiving certification. They also gave me a paper to write my impressions and an envelope, so I wrote a message in Japanese and put a tip for the instructor in the envelope before dropping it in the box.
I had also requested transportation back, so I was able to leave right after finishing. (Depending on the jump order, there might be some waiting?) On the way back, the local staff spoke English, and since I’m not fluent, I took a nap in the car. We arrived at the first pickup location right on time! And then, we parted ways.
Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience! I always wanted to try skydiving at least once in my life, and it was wonderful to do it against the backdrop of Hawaii's sky and sea! I want to do it again!
初のスカイダイビングで最高の思い出になりました!
1人で参加だったので、送迎付きのツアーを頼みました。
朝6:50に指定の場所に行くとガイドさんが迎えに来てくれてて、たまたまだったのか日本語が話せるスタッフさんで道中も色んな話をしながら楽しく向かえました。
到着したらiPadでチェックイン。
全て英語でしたが、だいたい怪我とかしても自己責任だよっていう内容。
分からなかったらスタッフさんが日本語で大まかな内容教えてくれます。
飛ぶ順番が決まっているみたいで、呼ばれるまでは待機。あと飛べるかどうかもその日の天気に大きく左右されるみたいで雲が多いと飛べないらしく最悪中止になる可能性もあるそうです。雲間が現れるまでタイミングをみます。
待ってる間に日本語が話せるスタッフさんが飛ぶ時のフォームを教えてくれて、何から何まで気を使ってくれました。
そろそろ飛ぶ準備ってなって担当のインストラクターさんとご挨拶!カタコトの日本語で挨拶してくれました!こちらもカタコトの英語で挨拶!笑
インストラクターさんからも飛んだあとのフォームのレクチャーを受けます。指示出しは日本語でしてくれました!
セスナに搭乗し、いざ空へ!
最初のダイバーが飛んだらそれに続いてポンポン飛んでいったので、怖いと思う暇もなく飛び降りて、逆に楽しさしかありませんでした!
1分くらいのフリーフォールらしいですが体感はもっと長かった気がしました。
そこからパラシュートが、開いてくるくる回りながら降下!これはインストラクターさんによるかもですが、くるくる回るの楽しい〜!って言ってたらめっちゃしてくれました笑
たぶん怖がってたらゆーたり降りてくれると思います笑
終わったらスカイダイビングの認定証みたいなのをくれます。そして、感想を書く用紙と封筒をくれるので日本語でメッセージを書きインストラクターさんへのチップを封筒に入れて、ボックスへ投函。
私は帰りの送迎も頼んでいたので、ちょうど終わったタイミングで、乗れることになりました。
(飛ぶ順番によっては待つかも?)
帰りは現地スタッフの方だったので、話されるのは英語。私は流暢に英語は喋れないので車の中で仮眠してました。
予定時間通りに最初のピックアップ場所に到着!そして、そのまま解散です。
内容としてはとても満足でした!
人生で一度はスカイダイビングをしてみたいと思っていて、ハワイの空と海をバックにできて素晴らしかったです!
またやりたいと思いました!

The driver explained how to ride in Japanese during the car ride to the horseback riding location. After arriving, we were able to ride the horses one by one, and another guide accompanied us from the side and behind during the walk, helping us when we stopped. It was my first time riding a horse, and the weather was nice, with the sea looking very beautiful, which was incredibly soothing. However, my horse didn't seem to get along well with me, as it stopped and wouldn't move several times, causing the people behind me to wait quite a bit. Overall, I had a very valuable experience this time, which became a great memory.
乗馬迄の車の中で運転手さんが日本語で乗り方を説明してくれました。到着後は順番に馬に乗ることが出来、散歩途中も横や後ろから別のガイドさんが着いてきてくれて立ち止まったりした時に誘導もしてくれました。初めての乗馬でしたが、お天気も良く海もとても綺麗で凄く癒されました。ただ馬との相性があまり良くなかったのか、何度も立ち止まり動かなくなってしまう子だったので後ろの人を凄い待たせてしまう事も多かったです。今回とても貴重な経験が出来たので良い思い出となりました。

Thank you for using Island Makana Tours. We sincerely apologize for any discomfort you experienced during the tour. Our driver reported that there was a request from a customer to be dropped off at the beach, but it was in a prohibited area, so we had to ask them to walk a bit. Please know that this was not due to you participating alone. We appreciate your valuable feedback and will continue to strive for improvement.

The staff was very good and patient, the horses were fine, even for the beginners, the ride was great. We had a great time and I think the 1.5 hours was just about the right timeframe. One issue I found was that when the wrangler leading a group is at the front and trying to talk to the group, it was almost impossible to understand them from the back of the group (we had 5 in our group). Don't know the answer other than having a wrangler both in front and at the rear of the group, but I know I missed out on much of the discussion.

Considering the transportation, costs, and time spent in Hawaii, I honestly hesitated before making the reservation. However, my experience was truly amazing, and I was able to enjoy a luxurious time in Hawaii! The scenery and interaction with the horses were unique, and I felt genuinely healed while riding and feeling the warmth of the horses (*^^*).
We debated on transportation, but we decided to rent a car. We were able to stop by shops in Haleiwa and enjoy garlic shrimp from a food truck (it was emotional to have it again after 15 years!) and also visited the Dole Plantation, making for a very fulfilling day that included horseback riding. The instructor spoke entirely in English, but explained things clearly with gestures. The horses were very well-behaved, and we enjoyed a relaxed ride while only lightly holding the reins (^^).
The entrance by car was a bit tricky to find, but once you see the arena, slow down a bit, and you'll find the gate. After entering through the first large gate, you'll soon see the horses. We changed into shoes in the car (my husband wore sneakers, while my daughter and I wore compact flat shoes with belts to avoid bulky luggage) and prepared by signing in and borrowing helmets and storage for our belongings. The storage was a pocket-style that could be placed on the horse's back, fitting a phone, camera, and even a small water bottle. We also got to take photos by the beach, which made for wonderful memories! (The instructor called out at just the right moments.)
We wore long pants, but there was no worry about getting dirty while riding, so we could go shopping afterward. (Since there was a bit of sand blowing, it might be a good idea to bring a change of clothes if you're concerned.) The daytime was fantastic, but I imagine the sunset would offer even more beautiful scenery, so I hope to experience it again!
The theme of this trip was to experience things that can only be done in Hawaii, and this horseback riding experience was perfect for that, creating the best memories for our family! Thank you so much to the wonderful instructor and the adorable horses ( ´ ▽ ` ) mahalo!
現地までの移動やお値段、ハワイでの滞在時間を考えた際、申し込みまで正直悩みました。しかし実際体験できての感想は、本当に贅沢なハワイ時間を過ごすことができて最高でした!!まさしくここでしか経験できない景色とお馬達との触れ合い、乗せてもらってお馬さんの温もりを感じながら本当に癒されました(*^^*)
移動手段で悩みましたが私達はレンタカーで向かい、ハレイワのお店やワゴンのガーリックシュリンプ(15年振りに食べれてそれも感動でした!)やドールプランテーションにも立ち寄れたので乗馬を含めとても充実した1日になりました。
先生はオール英語ではありますが、ジェスチャーなども交えながら分かりやすく説明してくれます。先生についていく感じで本当にお利口なお馬さん達でこちらは手綱を軽く持つ程度でゆったり乗馬を楽しめました(^^)
車での入り口が少し分かりづらいですが競技場がみえてきたら少しゆっくり走行していくとゲートがあり1つ目の大きなゲートの次のところを入っていくとすぐお馬達がみえる感じです。車で靴をシューズ(主人はスニーカー、私と娘は荷物がかさばらないよう少しコンパクトになるベルト付きのフラットシューズ)に履き替え、乗る前にサイン、ヘルメットと荷物入れを借りて準備します。荷物入れはお馬さんの背中に置かせてもらえるポケット式のもので携帯やカメラ、小さいものであれば水筒も入るサイズです。途中浜辺のところで写真も撮ってもらえて最高の記念になりました!!(程よいタイミングで先生が声を掛けてくれます)
服装は長ズボンになりますが乗った際に汚れてしまうようなことはなくそのまま買い物などできました。(若干砂が舞うので気になる方は着替えを持参されるといいかもです)
日中も最高でしたがサンセットの時間はさらにいい風景なのだろうと思うので、また体験できたらと思いました!
ハワイでしか体験できないことをが今回の旅行のテーマだったので、こちらでの乗馬体験はまさしくそれにぴったりで、家族の最高の思い出になりました!!
素敵な先生、そして可愛いお馬さん達、本当にありがとうございました( ´ ▽ ` )mahalo!

If I had to say something, it would have been nice to speak more English, and it would have been even better if they had reminded me to face the camera more during the video shoot, haha. It's a bit selfish, but more than anything, I'm glad I had such an amazing experience, so I highly recommend it, and I strongly want to try skydiving in another location!!!

The pickup location for the bus on the way there was hard to find. (There were many people from other tours, and we couldn't tell what our bus looked like.)
As for the horseback riding, we could hear the sound of the waves and got splashed by the sea spray, and the wind felt pleasant. The horse was calm and occasionally stopped to graze, which was enjoyable as well. Riding along the coast, something we can't do in Japan, was a valuable experience.
In Haleiwa Town, we only had time for lunch, and it would have been nice to have a little more time to relax.
行きのバスのピックアップ場所がわかりづらかった。(他のツアーの人たちも多く、自分たちのバスがどのような物かもわからなかった)
乗馬については波の音が聞こえ、波飛沫がかかるくらいで、風が心地よかったです。馬もおとなしく時々草を食んで道草しましたが、それも楽しかった。日本では出来ない海岸沿いの乗馬は貴重な体験でした。
ハレイワタウンではランチの時間しか無くもう少しゆっくり出来たら良かった。

There was no guide who could speak Japanese, and basic English communication skills were necessary, but even though I couldn't speak any English at all, they kindly explained things while using a language translation app on their phone and actively engaged in communication, which made it really enjoyable for me. That said, it's definitely true that being able to speak English would enhance the experience even more.
I recommend participating in clothes that you wouldn't mind throwing away. The red dirt stains won't come out even after washing. I participated in a white shirt that I planned to discard, and after the event, it turned into a reddish-brown shirt. (It also got soaked in the rain...)
The tour runs on really bumpy roads from a certain point, so it's better for people with neck or back issues to skip it. (I think there was something in the consent form before participation that mentioned self-responsibility.)
I'm not sure if it was because the weather was rainy when we participated, but the goggles provided had gaps where water could get in, and they became hard to see through due to dirt, while we were going at quite a speed (about 20 km/h), making it difficult to keep up. Especially for those with contact lenses, it's hard to keep your eyes open. (I was one of them.)
There are no shower rooms, just a place to wash your face and hands, and if you want to take a shower, you'll need to go to a nearby beach.
日本語を話せるガイドがおらず、基本的な英語でのコミュニケーション能力が必要とありましたが、全く英語が出来ない自分にも嫌な顔せず、携帯で言語変換しながら優しく説明してくれたり、コミュニケーションも積極的にとってくれて盛り上げてもらい、すごく楽しめました。
とはいえ、やはり英語はできるほうが更に楽しめることは間違いないです。
服装は本当に捨ててもいい服で参加する事をお勧めします。赤土での汚れは洗濯しても取れません。
自分は捨てる予定の白シャツで参加し、参加後には赤茶色のシャツになってました。(雨が降って染み込んだのもありますが…)
ツアーは途中から本当に凸凹の道を走るので、首や腰の悪い人はやめた方がいいです。(参加前の承諾書にも自己責任でみたいなのが書いてあったと思います。)
自分達が参加した時の天気が雨だったからなのかわかりませんが、貸してもらえるゴーグルだと隙間から入ってきたり、ゴーグルが汚れで見え辛くなっているのに、結構なスピード(約20Km/h)で走るのでついて行くのが大変でした。
特にコンタクトの方は目が開けてられないです。(自分がそうでした)
シャワールームはなく、顔や手を洗うぐらいの場所があるだけで、シャワーを浴びたければ近くのビーチまで行く必要があります。

I traveled alone to Hawaii for the first time in my life and made a reservation for skydiving, which was one of my main goals.
Since I didn't rent a car, the shuttle service was a deciding factor for me.
The man who picked me up spoke Japanese well and shared information about Hawaii's history and recommended spots during the hour-long drive, making it feel like a fun guided tour!
Once I arrived, there was no one who spoke Japanese, so I was grateful that the man who picked me up acted as my interpreter.
Due to various regulations and weather conditions, there was a bit of a wait, but after receiving the briefing, we headed straight up into the sky for skydiving!
Before I could even think about being scared, it felt like I was just jumping right in, so there was no time to feel fear—it was over in a flash!
The scenery was incredibly beautiful, and it was a view only those who have jumped can see. I'm really glad I did it!
It was so amazing that even after it was over, I couldn't stop smiling!
If you're coming to Hawaii, I definitely recommend doing this!
I chose a course where the instructor took photos and videos, and they sent me a well-edited video along with a considerable number of photos. The quality was worth the price, so if you have the budget, go for it!
Also, it's a good idea to prepare tips of about $10 for the driver and $20 to $30 for the instructor.

The driver was very friendly and shared interesting stories, making the journey enjoyable. The Dole plantation was less lively than when I visited before, and the pineapple ice cannot be purchased with a card, so cash is necessary. The driver explained the horseback riding in Japanese beforehand, which made me feel at ease. A staff member will take photos along the way, so be sure to bring your smartphone. There is only one riding club, and it's not very clean, so I recommend bringing hand towels or similar items. The stroll around Haleiwa goes by quickly, so it might be better to ask the driver to place a lunch order in advance. It gets crowded when eating and lining up for shave ice, so Aoki might be a better choice. I wish I had a bit more time.
ドライバーの方はとてもゆかいで為になる話をして下さり、道中は楽しかったです。
ドールは以前来た時とはにぎわいがなく、パインアイスはカード使えず、現金持参が必要です。

The guide and driver, Mr. Arai, was very polite and made the tour truly enjoyable and reassuring.
I will definitely repeat this tour when I come to Hawaii.

I participated alone, and since I wasn't very good at English, I was a bit anxious. However, there was someone on-site who spoke Japanese, and they provided explanations and important information, which made me feel very relieved. Also, since I was alone, they were attentive to me, which was very helpful.
I chose the video and photo package with a photographer, and it was fantastic. If you want to create lasting memories, I think it's a great option. The price is high, but I definitely believe it's worth it! The instructor and the photographer were very lively and cheerful, and I had a fulfilling time. Especially, the photographer had excellent skills and captured the video beautifully, so thank you very much.
As for the skydiving itself, I can't find words other than "amazing." It felt incredible! While there is some fear, I think doing it as a life experience can be a great conversation starter and very interesting!
If I want to go skydiving in Hawaii again, I will definitely use this service! Thank you!
1人で参加しましたが、あまり英語が得意というわけでもなかったので不安でした。ですが、現地に日本語が喋れる方が1人いて、注意事項や説明などをしてくれてとても安心しました。また、1人で来ているということもあり気にかけて頂きとても助かりました。
ビデオ、写真撮影+カメラマン同行を選びましたが最高でした。思い出に残すのであればとても良いと思います。値段は高いですが、それだけの価値は絶対にあると思います!インストラクターやカメラマンの方はとてもノリが良く陽気な方達で充実した時間を過ごすことができました。特にカメラマンの方の技術が高く、動画を上手く撮って頂き、ありがとうございました。
スカイダイビング自体は、最高以外の言葉が見つかりません。気持ち良すぎました!怖いのはありますが、人生経験としてやっておくと話のネタにもなりますし面白いと思います!
また、ハワイでスカイダイビングしたくなったら利用しようと思います!
ありがとうございました!

Skydiving, something I wanted to try since I was a child! Finally, in my 50s, I was able to experience it! It was an absolutely amazing experience. I couldn't speak English at all, but all the staff were kind, and there were Japanese staff members as well, so I was able to fly safely and enjoyably♪ THANK YOU SO MUCH!! From now on, I want to challenge myself to do solo dives!
子供の頃にやってみたいと思っていたスカイダイビング!50代にして、やっと体験出来ました!
とにかく最高の体験でした。
英語が全然話せませんでしたが、スタッフみんな親切で、日本人スタッフもいて、無事安全人気飛ぶことが出来ました♪THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
これから、ソロダイブ出来るようチャレンジしたいと思います!

We used this service for our honeymoon trip. I was anxious because I couldn't speak English, but there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, which was a great help.
For check-in, each person needs to register using a touch panel, so be careful about that. After checking in, you receive an original T-shirt. Even the smallest size, S, felt a bit large for women. After that, we stored our belongings in a locker and waited for the instructions. We had about a 45-minute wait. There were restrooms, vending machines, and a smoking area a bit further away.
After we were called, the instructor gave us a brief explanation and helped us put on the equipment. Then, we filmed a video in front of the Gojump flag before boarding the jet. The jet can hold about 16 people, so it feels cramped. Since the jet runs backward, those who get motion sickness might feel uneasy. It ascends to a considerable height in just a few minutes. They opened the window along the way to show us the view, which was amazing but a bit cold. Long sleeves and long pants might be better.
Once we reached the highest point, we jumped immediately. It might be good for those who are a bit scared since you jump before you can mentally prepare. At first, it’s a free fall, but it doesn’t feel like your insides are floating like on other thrill rides. It just feels like you’re resisting the wind, which is pleasant. I felt no fear at all. My husband, who has a fear of heights, said he wasn’t scared while flying (though he found the ascent in the jet scary).
After about two minutes of free fall, the parachute opens. During the free fall, the breathtaking scenery captures your attention, but after the parachute opens, you can relax and enjoy the view even more. You can see the ocean and all of Oahu, which is fantastic. Depending on the instructor, I was even allowed to steer the parachute a bit.
Experiencing the feeling of being a bird during the free fall and enjoying the wonderful scenery afterward creates unforgettable memories. Although it’s a bit pricey, this is an activity you should definitely try when you visit Hawaii. However, those who are prone to ear infections should be cautious, as the change in pressure might hurt their ears. (I had some trouble hearing for about three hours due to the pressure change, but my husband seemed fine.)
The photos and videos taken by the instructor were more plentiful than I expected and were fantastic. The pictures and videos were so great that they looked like composites. The round-trip transportation was also very convenient. On the way back, the bus driver played the ukulele, which was a nice touch.
新婚旅行で利用しました。
英語が話せないので不安でしたが、日本語が話せる受付の方がいて、説明してくれるので助かりました。
チェックインはタッチパネルで体験する人それぞれの登録が必要なので、注意です。
チェックインしたらオリジナルTシャツが貰えます。
女性は1番小さいSでも少し大きいくらいです。
その後持ち物をロッカーにしまい、案内があるまで待ちました。
私達は45分くらい待ち時間がありました。
トイレや自動販売機、少し離れたところに喫煙所などもありました。
案内された後は、担当の先生から簡単な説明と器具の装着がありました。
そしてGojumpの旗の前で動画撮影をした後、そのままジェット機に乗車。
ジェット機内に16人くらい入るので狭く感じます。
ジェット機は後ろ向きに走るので酔う人は酔うかも。
数分でかなりの高さまで浮上します。
途中窓を開けて景色を見せてくれました。
最高の景色でしたが、少し寒かったです。
長袖長ズボンの方がいいかも。
1番高いとこまで行ったらすぐにジャンプでした。
心の準備ができる前に飛ぶので、ビビりの人にはいいかも笑
最初はフリーフォールですが、絶叫系のような内蔵が浮く感じはありませんでした。
ひたすら風の抵抗を受けている感じで、気持ちいいです。
怖さはまったくありませんでした。
高所恐怖症の旦那も、飛んでる最中は怖くなかったとのこと。(ジェット機上昇中は怖かったらしいです。)
体感で2分くらいフリーフォールしたらパラシュートが開かれます。
フリーフォール中も素晴らしい景色に目を奪われますが、パラシュート後は心に余裕が生まれ、より景色を楽しめます。
海やオアフ島全域が見渡せ最高です。
インストラクターさん次第だと思いますが、私はパラシュートの操縦も少しやらせて貰えました。
フリーフォール中は鳥の気持ちを味わえ、パラシュート後も素晴らしい景色を堪能でき、一生の思い出になります。
少し値段は張りますが、ハワイに行った際は絶対に体験した方がいいアクティビティです。
ただ、中耳炎によくなる人は気圧の変化で耳を痛めるかもしれないので注意です。(私は気圧の変化で耳をやられ、3時間くらい耳の聞こえが悪くなりましたが、旦那はなんともなかったようです。)
インストラクターさんが撮ってくれる写真と動画も思っていたより盛りだくさんで、最高でした。
合成写真かと思うほど素晴らしい写真と動画が手に入ります。
行き帰りの送迎があるとこもとても便利でした。
帰りにはバスの運転手さんがウクレレ演奏をしてくれ、和みました。

I made a reservation in the morning and had an experience.
First, regarding the start time, it's not a day off even if no one is there; it's just that the tour hasn't returned yet, so it's okay to wait. Hawaii is relaxed about time! Don't worry about it.
Children can ride alone, making it a great experience. You can leisurely sway on the horse and enjoy the nature of Hawaii.
Since you can't gallop, it might be a bit lacking for those seeking excitement, but the beach horseback riding was very nice.
午前中の申し込みをして体験しました。
まず開始時間ですが、誰もいない状態でもお休みではありません、ツアーから戻っていないだけで待っていればOKです、時間にはおおらかなハワイです!気にしないでください。
子供も一人で乗馬できるので良い体験になります、のんびり馬に揺られハワイの自然を満喫出来ます。
駆け足は出来ないので刺激が欲しい方には物足りないかもしれませんが、海辺の乗馬はとても良いものでした。

The location was a bit hard to find, but we were able to get there with the help of a taxi driver using Google Maps. I went with my family, and my college and high school kids also enjoyed it. We were able to take a leisurely stroll by the seaside, and it was a priceless time that created wonderful memories. There are only portable toilets, so I think it's better to take care of that beforehand. Bottled water and soda are sold in the waiting area, but they are a bit overpriced, so it's better to bring your own or take a tumbler. Valuables and bottled drinks can be placed in the horse's luggage pocket. Other bags can be left on the shelf in the waiting area, and there is no security for them.
場所が少しわかりにくかったけどタクシーの方にGoogleマップ見てもらって行けました。家族で行きましたが、大学生、高校生の子供達も楽しんでました。海辺をゆっくり散歩できて、とてもプライスレスな時間が過ごせていい思い出になりました。おトイレは簡易トイレしかないので済ませてきた方がいいと思います。ペットボトルのお水とソーダは数本待合室に売ってますが、割高なのでできれば持参かタンブラーを持って行った方が良いです。貴重品やペットボトルはお馬さんの荷物用ポケットに入れられます。その他のバッグは待合室の棚に置いておく感じでセキュリティ制はありません。

Relaxing horseback riding on the white sands of the North Shore. The horses were so smart, I can only say it was the best.
I have participated in other famous horseback riding programs in the past, but I preferred this one.
I'm worried that it might become too popular and hard to book, but it was absolutely amazing, so I highly recommend it to everyone.
ノースショアの白砂をゆったりと乗馬
馬もお利口さんで最高としか言いようが無いです
過去には他の有名な乗馬プランにも参加しましたが僕にはこちらの方が良かったです
人気が出過ぎて予約困難になるのが嫌ですが
とにかく最高でしたので皆さんも是非
