When we were riding horses, the four of us were quite excited. However, by the time we finished riding and returned, everyone seemed tired. My father and husband, who just turned 70, got off the horse saying their knees hurt and walked in a rather strange way. My 9-year-old and 10-year-old daughters and my nephew simply said they were sleepy.
As I listened to them, it seemed they felt sleepy because they were walking at the same pace through similar scenery. Additionally, the uncles were in the same position and at the same pace, which seemed to have taken a toll on their legs and back. They mentioned that the horseback riding experience on the Big Island of Hawaii was better. What a shame...
馬乗った時は興奮気味の4人でした。
しかし、乗馬が終わり戻ってきた時には、みんな疲れている感じでした。
70歳を迎えた父と夫は、膝が痛い!といいながら馬からおりてなんか不思議な歩き方を。
9歳と10歳の娘と甥っ子は、眠かった、、と一言。
話を聞いていると、同じような景色ばかりの中を同じペースでパカパカ歩くので、眠かったようです。また、おじさんたちは同じ姿勢で同じペースで、、ということで足腰にきていたようです。
以前体験した、ハワイ島の乗馬の方がいいわ、、ということでした。

Since my youngest daughter, who is 3 years old, also wanted to experience horseback riding like her older sister, I assumed it would be a pony riding experience and made the reservation. However, among the horses lined up for the riding experience, there were no ponies. I thought they might be preparing them, but instead, everyone was riding horses of similar size... Let's ride!!
After the experience, we got to brush the horse's fur and feed them, and that was the end of it. It seems like she had a lot of fun.
乗馬体験同じように、下の娘3歳も体験したいとのことだったので、ポニー乗馬体験、 と思い込んで申し込み。
乗馬体験の馬が並んでいる中に、ポニーがいない。今から準備かな?と思っていたら、みんな同じような大きさの馬に…Let's riding!!
体験後は、くしで馬の毛をとかしてもらい、エサを与えさせてもらい、終了でした。
とても楽しかったみたいです。

I had always wanted to try skydiving at least once before I die, but as someone who is extremely afraid of thrill rides, I was tense until just a few minutes before the jump.
After arriving at Pacific Skydiving, I signed a scary waiver and learned the positions for jumping and landing from the instructor. After waiting a few minutes...
When my name was called, my whole family smoothly boarded the Cessna. The tension increased as we ascended! I thought, "There's no turning back now..." and my throat became dry (laughs). Before I knew it, we reached an altitude of 14,000 feet (4,260 meters), and the door of the Cessna opened.
I watched my family being sucked into the sky right in front of me... it was scary. But before I knew it, it was my turn, and I found myself diving into the open sky!!
During the free fall, I surprisingly had enough composure to pose for the cameraman! After the parachute opened, it was a leisurely stroll in the air. I was able to see the breathtaking views of Hawaii in 360 degrees. I even spotted a round rainbow in the clouds!
Without a doubt, it was the best experience of my life!!
The feeling of flying through the sky with views I had never seen before was the ultimate thrill, and honestly, I can't put it into words!
After the parachute opened, many people got motion sickness from the turbulence, so motion sickness medication is a must. (laughs)
I’m really glad that my whole family could have such a wonderful experience together!
死ぬまでに一度はやってみたいと思っていましたが、絶叫系が超絶苦手な私は、飛ぶ数分前までガチガチでした。
Pacificsky diving 到着後
すごく怖いことが書いてある同意書にサインし、インストラクターの方に飛び出す時や着地時の体勢を教えてもらい、待つこと数分...
名前を呼ばれて家族全員スムーズにセスナ機に乗り込みました。高度が上がるにつれ増す緊張感!!もう逃げられない…そう思うと喉がカラカラに乾いていきました(笑)あっという間に14000FT(4,260m)の高さに到着し、セスナの扉が開きます。
目の前で家族が空に吸い込まれていく…怖い。と思ったのもつかの間、あっという間に自分の番になり、気付いたら大空にダイブしていました!!
フリーフォール中はカメラマンの人にポーズをとったりと意外と余裕がありました!
パラシュートが開いたあとはゆっくり空中散歩。ハワイの絶景を360度見渡せました。雲の中に丸い虹を見つけることもできました!
間違いなく人生で一番最高な体験!!
見たことない景色と空を飛んでる感覚、
ドキドキワクワクの最上級という感じで、正直言葉では言い表せません!
パラシュートが開いた後は揺れで酔う人続出だったので、酔い止めは必須です。笑
こんなに素敵な体験を家族みんなで出来て、本当に良かったです!

I have experienced beginner horseback riding in various countries, and I chose this one because of the seaside course. On the way there and back, a Japanese-speaking driver guided us along the route. The explanations on-site were in English, but it wasn't too difficult, and the people were friendly, making for an enjoyable time. There were also others who brought their own horses and some who were swimming in the sea. Since it was by the seaside, there were no risky areas like mountain paths where you might fall off, and with fewer weeds along the road, we could ride smoothly while enjoying the sea breeze.
各国で初心者乗馬を体験していますが、海辺のコースということで、こちらを選びました。行き帰りは、日本語ドライバーさんが、通り道の案内込みで移動させてくれます。現地では、英語での説明ですが、それほど苦労なく、フランクな方々で、楽しく過ごせました。ここでは、他にマイホースを連れてきていたり、海水浴をしている方々もいました。海辺ということで、山道のような落馬しそうな個所もなく、道端の草も少ないため道草も少なく、海風に吹かれながら、颯爽?と乗馬ができました。

I had always wanted to try skydiving. During our honeymoon trip to Hawaii, I jumped for the first time with my wife. It was both of our first experiences, but the moment we jumped out of the airplane was so shocking that it felt like my mind was blown away! Thanks to this, it became our best memory in Hawaii. Thank you very much.

From the time you walk up to the building, these people at Pacific Skydiving are the most helpful and fun people. I was Amazed at how they were able to make me feel so comfortable about this thrill seekers dream jump! Misha was my jump partner and he explained everything to me and taught me everything he could not only about sky diving, but about the island of Oahu as well. He quickly found that we had very similar interest's, so he made sure to let me know where to visit so I could enjoy my trip. My cameraman stayed out of my field of view to maximize my experience which was awesome!

When we were heading up in the helicopter, I started to feel my legs tremble, wondering if we were still going higher, but there was no time to hesitate as the diver jumped in with me! I had planned to strike various poses, but the resistance while falling made it hard to move, and I ended up flailing like a crab... haha.

Good zip line experience with a mix of short and long zip line runs. Was able to go up side down on the majority of the zip lines, although they prefer to save "tricks" for the last 2 zip lines as a surprise.
All lines are dual zip - so you go two at a time. Takes about 2 1/2 hours with 11 people in the group. Guides were fun, helpful, and took some good pictures (separate charge to buy their pictures). They encourage you to take your own pictures too.

In Japan, I was able to immerse myself in the magnificent nature, forgetting the time while feeling the pleasant sunlight and breeze. It was an incredibly happy time, and my mother, who joined me, was very satisfied as well. My father, an experienced rider, participated in the advanced course and was also thrilled with horseback riding in Hawaii's stunning nature. Most importantly, I was overjoyed to see my 2-year-old son experience horseback riding for the first time during the 20-minute introductory course, which made me feel his growth. My wife, who had said she might ride if our son couldn't, ultimately didn't get to ride, but she was satisfied watching our son on the horse. Thanks to the very friendly staff, we had the best time.
日本では身を置くことができない雄大な自然の中で、時間を忘れて気持ちの良い日差しと風を感じることができました。それはとにかく幸せな時間で、一緒に参加した母も大満足でした。また、経験者である父が上級者コースに参加しましたが、父もハワイの雄大な自然の中での乗馬に大満足していましたし、何と言っても20分の体験コースで生まれて初めて乗馬を体験した2才の息子の姿を見て、成長を感じられたことが何よりも嬉しかったです。息子が乗れなかったら乗ればいいかなと言っていた妻は、結果的に乗ることができませんでしたが、息子の乗馬姿に満足していましたし、とっても感じの良いスタッフのおかげで最高の時間を過ごすことができました。

I had some experience with horseback riding in Japan (it usually lasts about 10 minutes depending on the price), but here I was able to ride for a longer time (about 40 minutes) and basically guided the horse myself, which was fun (^O^). The horse was really smart, so even my second grader was fine! Additionally, we were able to go sightseeing in the town of Haleiwa along the way (this part was mixed with horseback riding and included a meal, so it was quite rushed at about 1 hour (^o^;), but there was also a separate course just for sightseeing). We also had a great encounter with sea turtles, which you can see with high probability!!!

It was my first time skydiving, but there was a brief explanation beforehand, and I was able to dive without any issues. Just before jumping out of the Cessna, I felt a little nervous, but diving into the bright blue sky was an amazing experience. At first, it was a bit cold in short sleeves, but by the time the parachute opened, the temperature had risen, and I was able to enjoy the view of the ground as I landed slowly. I would love to try it again if I have the chance.

I was very excited for my first skydiving experience. First, in the car that picked us up, we had to read and sign a consent form, which was quite lengthy and made me feel a bit car sick. I thought it would be fine to take motion sickness medication before skydiving, but I recommend taking it before getting in the car for those who are prone to motion sickness.
Upon arriving at Pacific Skydiving, we received a briefing about the fees in a room, but since it was all in English, we were a bit confused as we don't speak English well. However, we managed somehow (laughs). We showed our voucher and selected photos and videos.
Then, when our names were called, we were fitted with harnesses and received explanations from the instructor in broken Japanese. It felt like a very brief explanation, and before we knew it, we were boarding the plane (laughs).
Once we were on the plane, it all happened so quickly. For a moment after jumping, I couldn't breathe and honestly thought it might be tough to continue in that situation, but I quickly got used to it, and after that, it was just amazing.
I was completely hooked. I definitely want to experience it again when I go to Hawaii!
初めてのスカイダイビング体験で、とてもドキドキしていました。
まずお迎えの車内で、同意書を読み、サインをするものがあり、それがなかなかの量で車に酔ってしまいました。スカイダイビングの前に酔い止めを飲めばいいと思っていましたが、酔いやすい人は車に乗る前に飲むのがおすすめです。

Skydiving was my first experience. It's something I want to try at least once in my life. I thought I would feel great flying like a bird, but the pressure on my ears was intense, and it felt like my eardrums were about to burst, haha. Even after landing, I felt nauseous, and the ride back to the hotel was hell. It's best to go when you're in perfect health.
I signed up on the same day I arrived in Hawaii, and I couldn't make it in time, so I took a taxi from the airport, which cost just over $100. While not everyone may do the same, it's something to keep in mind. In addition to the tour fee, you'll need to tip the instructor and pay for videos and photos. We ended up spending about 25,000 yen extra for two people.
The skydiving instructor was really cheerful, and we had a great time! Thank you for the valuable experience!!

The guide talked a lot about Hawaii while we were in the car! The horseback riding was wonderful; I was a bit scared at first, but my horse was very gentle and walked slowly ahead. The staff chooses each horse based on compatibility with the rider. Some horses seemed to be struggling because they just wanted to eat grass! Riding while looking at the ocean is something you can't experience in Japan, so I definitely recommend trying it!

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。

My mother and I signed up for a seaside horseback riding course. It was our first horseback riding experience, but the local staff kindly helped us with how to ride and stop. Riding while looking at the sea was truly a wonderful feeling.
Unfortunately, after arriving at the Dole Plantation, which was supposed to be just a quick stop, we were told by the tour guide that there was a mistake and they had forgotten to bring their license, which would take time to retrieve from the office. As a result, our stay was extended by over an hour. Since this is a common spot for other tours, I had been there before and ended up with nothing to do, feeling quite bored. Additionally, the tour guide's attitude was lacking sincerity, saying things like, "This is quite rare, you know," which honestly made me feel anxious about whether it was safe to follow this person.
The horseback riding itself was a lovely experience, so next time I participate, I would prefer to join a different tour company if there is an option.
母と娘の親子二名で海辺乗馬コースを申し込みました。初めての乗馬体験でしたが乗り方、止まり方等現地のスタッフが親切に対応して下さり、何といっても海を見ながらの乗馬はとても気持ちの良いものでした。
残念だったのは、立ち寄り程度だった筈のドールプランテーションに到着した後、ツアーガイドのミスでライセンスを携帯し忘れたとのことで事務所へ取りに戻るのに時間がかかると言われ、結果滞在時間が1時間以上延びた事です。他のツアーでも定番のスポットなので以前も立ち寄ったことがあり、やることが無く時間を持て余しました。また、それに対するツアーガイドの態度も「こんな事稀なんですけどね~」といった誠意に欠けるもので正直「この人について行って大丈夫なのか?」と不安に感じました。
乗馬自体はとても素敵な経験となりましたので、次回参加する時は別の催行会社での企画があればそちらに参加したいと思います。
I apologize for any inconvenience caused regarding our matter despite your participation. I'm glad to hear that you were satisfied with the main horseback riding experience.
ご参加にも関わらず、当係りの件ではご迷惑をかけ申し訳ございませんでした。
メインの乗馬は満足されたようで良かったです。

I think I could have enjoyed the tour more if the guide had been better. As others have mentioned, it was disappointing to have Kaz as our guide.
① Dole Plantation
I arrived 10 minutes before opening. This meant that the actual time I had to enjoy Dole Plantation was only 20 minutes, which was unsatisfactory. I quenched my thirst with very delicious pineapple juice and browsed for souvenirs. I wished I had a bit more time to explore the garden.
② Strolling through Haleiwa Town on the North Shore and having brunch with garlic shrimp
I ate at a Japanese-owned restaurant recommended by the guide. (It was emphasized multiple times that they opened early for this tour.) Perhaps because of that, while it was tasty, it was lighter than I expected. Personally, I would have liked a bit more punch. (I think enjoying local flavors is one of the joys of traveling.) The careful preparation of the shells and the shrimp's digestive tract left a good impression. Strolling through the colorful streets was fun, but again, excluding meal time, the stay was only about 30 minutes! There isn't much time to leisurely check out interesting shops, so it might be good to set a purpose in advance.
③ The horseback riding by the seaside, which I was looking forward to the most!!!
All the horses were cute and smart, and it was truly healing. They are well-trained, so I think beginners can experience it with confidence. I wanted to spend more time interacting with the horses!
④ On the way back, I saw sea turtles from the car window.
⑤ We stopped in Haleiwa to pick up participants from other courses and for a restroom break, which concluded the tour.
While the places visited and experiences were excellent, I realized that the presence of the guide significantly changed my level of satisfaction.
This time, the guide, Kaz, was basically high-handed and had a scary tone. Listening to his interactions with other participants, he treated them in a condescending manner, which made those around him uncomfortable.
The information he provided about Hawaii's history and buildings during the journey was interesting, but his unique way of speaking combined with issues with the audio microphone made it hard to absorb.
Additionally, he was very strict about the meeting times. I understand it was to avoid traffic, but it felt more like he was rushing participants to avoid affecting his own working hours rather than for the sake of the participants or to keep the tour schedule.
ガイドさんが良ければもっとツアーを楽しめたと思う。
他の方も書いてますが、カズさんに当たり残念でした。
①ドールプランテーション
オープンの10分前に到着。
ということで、ドールプランテーション内を楽しめる実質滞在時間はたったの20分。これは不満。
とても美味しいパイナップルジュースで喉を潤し、お土産を物色。
もうちょっとガーデンを散策する時間が欲しかった。
②ノースショアハレイワ・タウンにて街並み散策とガーリックシュリンプでブランチ
ガイドさんが勧める日本人経営の店で食べる。
(このツアーのために早い時間から開けてもらっていると何度も強調されました)
そのためか、美味しいのだが思ったよりもあっさりしている。
個人的にはもう少しパンチが欲しかったかな。
(せっかくならローカルの味を楽しむのも旅の醍醐味だと思うため)
殻と背ワタが丁寧に処理されているのは好印象です。
カラフルな街並みを散策するのは楽しいが、ここでも食事時間を除くと滞在時間が30分あるかないか!?
気になるお店をゆっくり見ている暇はないので、事前に目的を定めておくといいかもしれません。
③一番楽しみにしていた海辺での乗馬!!!
どの馬も可愛くてかしこくて、本当に癒されました。
よく調教されているので初心者の方でも安心して体験できると思います。
もっと長い時間馬と触れ合っていたかった!
④帰路につく途中、車窓からウミガメを見る
⑤他コースの方をピックアップ&トイレ休憩のためハレイワに寄り終了
訪問先・体験内容は申し分ないのですが、ガイドさんの存在ですごく満足度が変わってくることを実感しました。
今回のガイド、カズさんは基本的に高圧的で口調がコワイです。
他の参加者さんとのやり取りを聞いていても、バカにしたようなあしらうような対応をされていて、周りが不快に思う。
道中教えてくださるハワイの歴史や建物案内等は興味深い内容なのですが、独特なしゃべり方と音声マイクの不具合が相まって、入ってこない。
そして、集合時間にはすごく厳しくせっつかれます。
渋滞を避けるためなのはわかりますが、「参加者のため」「ツアー予定時刻を守るため」というよりも、ガイドさんご自身の勤務時間に影響のないよう、参加者を急かしているような印象を持ちました。

I participated alone, but there were several others who were also participating solo, so I didn't feel out of place at all. Right after jumping out of the Cessna, I was really scared, but the beautiful scenery of Hawaii spread out before me made me forget my fear. I'm really glad I took on this challenge.
ひとりでの参加でしたが、同じようにひとり参加の方が数名いらっしゃったので、全く気になりませんでした。
セスナから飛び出した直後はすっごい怖かったけど、一面に広がるハワイの美しい景色が恐怖を忘れさせてくれました。
チャレンジして本当に良かったです。

During free fall, it felt more like flying than falling, and it was amazing. With a photographer, you can get beautiful shots during free fall, but they can't take photos while the parachute is deployed. With an instructor, they can take photos until the very end, so I felt there are pros and cons to both options.
フリーフォール中は落ちているというより、飛んでいる感覚で、最高でした。カメラマン付きだとフリーフォール中は綺麗に撮ってもらえますが、パラシュートの間は撮れないです。インストラクターだと最後まで撮ってもらえるので一長一短と感じました。

Jumping from a Cessna at an altitude higher than the clouds!
I thought it would be a straight free fall, but I was instructed to hold hands with the instructor and descend while spinning, and even got to steer after the parachute opened... I came down sideways and while rotating. It was quite thrilling.
My wife, perhaps a bit nervous, enjoyed the descent while listening to the explanations of the scenery and taking in the breathtaking views. She mentioned it was even more fun than she expected.
I will definitely repeat this experience on my next visit.
P.S. The ground guide, Masa, is also fun and kind. I hope to see him again.
上空の雲より高いところまでセスナで上がってジャンプ!
まっすぐの自由落下かと思いきや、
インストラクターさんに手を組まされて回転しながらの降下や、パラシュートが開いてからの操縦までさせてもらい…横向きになったり回転しながら降下してきました。
なかなかのスリルでした。
…妻は多少ビビりながらだったためか、景色の説明を聞きながら、絶景を楽しみながら降下したらしいのですが。
思っていた以上に楽しかった、と話していました。
次回も訪れたら必ずリピートします。
追伸、地上の案内人・マサさんも楽しく優しいです。また会いたいです。

The garlic shrimp at Cameron's, recommended by our guide in Haleiwa, was delicious. It was a shame that our stay in Haleiwa was only about an hour due to horseback riding being scheduled afterward, leaving us no time to explore. It seems our time in Haleiwa was shortened because of expected traffic on that weekend.
The horseback riding at Turtle Bay by the sea was very nice. The horse I rode was a bit of a glutton and kept trying to eat grass during the ride, so I had to scold him multiple times to get back on course, which left my arms sore. It turned into a fun memory! Next time, I think I’ll want to explore Haleiwa more leisurely, so I might plan horseback riding for another day.
ハレイワではガイドさんのおススメキャメロンのガーリックシュリンプ美味しかったです。
乗馬がその後の予定だったのでハレイワでの滞在が1時間程で散策する時間が無かったのが残念です。その日は週末のせいか渋滞が予想されたのでハレイワ滞在時間が短縮された様です。
乗馬はタートルベイの海辺でとても良かったです。私が乗った馬は食いしん坊で乗馬中に何度も草を食べに行ってしまい何度も馬を叱ってコースに戻るようにしたので腕が筋肉痛になりまた。笑笑〜楽しい思い出になりました。
次回はゆっくりハレイワを散策したいので乗馬は別の日にしよーかなぁ〜と思ってます。

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.
