Last year, I had a wonderful experience riding in the North Shore canyon, so I ended up doing canyon riding again this time. My 10-year-old grandson also wants to do it again next year. This was the first time he rode alone, and he seemed to really enjoy it, even wanting to go again on the same day. Riding in the canyon must have been the best feeling for him. Next year, I plan to have him ride in the canyon plus by the seaside.
One of the highlights of this tour is that you can enjoy sightseeing along the highway on the way to North Shore, which was a lot of fun. At the end of the ride, the staff from Happy Trails take family photos, so it's definitely a good idea to bring a camera.
In any case, I can't miss this riding plan next year. It's a shame I can't convey how I feel about this experience.
昨年、ノースショワーの渓谷乗馬を楽しく体験できたので、今回もまた渓谷乗馬をしてしまいました。
10歳になる孫も、来年もやりたいとのこと、何せ今回初めて一人で乗馬をさせたのですが、とても気に入ったのか当日もう一回やりたいというほど、渓谷を乗馬することは孫にとって最高の気分だったのかもしれません。
来年は、渓谷プラス海辺の乗馬をさせたいと思っています。
このツアーの特徴は、ノースショアーに行くまでの間、街道沿いの観光もできるのでとっても楽しかったです。
乗馬の最後にハッピートレイのスタッフが家族写真をとってくれるので必ずカメラは持っていったほうがいいですね。
ともかく来年もこの乗馬プランははずせません。
この気持ち状況を伝えられないのが残念です。

The place was about an hour away from Honolulu but that wasn't problem. The website said to be there 30 min early and we were but the horse handlers said that wasn't neccessary. They were short handed and we ended up waiting more than an hour to ride but the place was majestic so we weren't bothered by the wait. The guides prepared us and were concerned about everyones safety. The ride was perfect. They guides were professional and took time to take our pictures while we were on the beach. I would do it again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Hawaii.. It was a great family experience.

I made a reservation.
However, I was unsure about canceling until the day before.
The night before, various thoughts crossed my mind, and I couldn't sleep well.
In the morning, when I opened the curtains and looked at the sky, it was a bit cloudy and the wind was a little strong,
and I found myself hoping, just a little, that the flight might be canceled.
But then, the shuttle bus arrived at the pickup location.
Including the two of us, there were ten people on the bus.
The driver handed us a document regarding liability in case of an accident, and I signed it.
It was written in Japanese.
In other words, it was about not suing no matter what happens, and it was about three pages long... I signed it.
We arrived at the airport, and the weather was nice.
This means the flight will take off; I had to brace myself.
The DVD plus photos cost around $180.
With the yen being strong and it being a valuable experience, I decided to go for it.
Additionally, various tips amounted to about $50.
There was a simple lecture, really just a basic explanation, and then we put on our harnesses and boarded the plane.
The Cessna took off with the window wide open, which was super scary.
It took about ten minutes to reach 14,000 feet.
Finally, the moment arrived.
Here we go, descending!
Wow, this is amazing!
Incredible, incredible.
It's a pleasant yet strange sensation, fantastic.
If you have even a little curiosity and quite a bit of courage, I definitely recommend trying it.
You will surely experience something wonderful.
By the way, the girl who participated with me got so scared before jumping from the Cessna that she froze up and was pushed out from behind.
But the moment she safely landed on the ground, there were high-fives and hugs with the staff... it was so exciting.
She said, "I was hoping it would be canceled due to rain, but I'm glad I did it."
I completely agree.
予約をする。
でも、キャンセルしようか前日まで迷う。
前の晩、いろいろなことが頭をよぎりよく眠れない。
朝、部屋のカーテンをあけて空をみると、少し曇り空、風も少し強い、
飛行機飛ばないかもと、それをほんの少し期待する自分がいる。
でも、ピックアップ場所に送迎バスが来た。
自分たち二人を含めて、バスには10人だ。
ドライバーから事故の時の免責に関する書類を渡され、サインをする。
いろんなことが日本語で書いてある。
つまり、なにが起きても、なにがあっても、訴えたりしませんよという内容が3枚くらい・・・・サインする。
飛行場に到着、天気がいい。
これは、飛行機飛ぶな、覚悟を決める。
DVDプラス写真で180ドルくらい。
円高だし、貴重な体験なので申し込む。
あと、もろもろのチップが50ドルくらい。
かんたんなレクチャー、ほんと、かんたんな説明で、ハーネスをつけて飛行機に乗り込む。
離陸するセスナ、窓あけっぱなし、チョー怖いよ。
14000フィートまで10分くらい。
ついにその時がきたよ。
いよいよ、降下ーーーー。
わぁぁぁぁぁ、すごいよ、これ!
すごい、すごい。
気持ちいいというか、不思議な感覚、ファンタスティック。
ほんの少しの興味と、結構な度胸があるならば、ぜひ、トライしてみてください。
素晴らしい感覚を味わえること、間違いなしです。
ちなみに、一緒に参加した彼女は、セスナから降下する前に腰を抜かしてしまって、後ろから押されるようにしてセスナから飛び降りました。
でも、地面に無事着地した瞬間、周りのスタッフと、ハイタッチ、ハグ、ハイタッチ、ハグ・・・大興奮でした。
その彼女は、
「雨が降って中止になればと思ってたけど、やってみてよかったあ」と、言ってました。
同感です。

My family and I enjoy horseback riding but this one was not up to par. I booked a private lesson and was told we would be able to do more with the horses beside just walking them and also would not be a nose to tail ride but that's exactly what it was. We were told many things but none were true. A couple of the horses did not like having another horse so close to it's tail so they would constantly kick backwards. You're only on the beach for a short time to cross to the dusty path were you spend most of the time until you cross back over the beach to go back to the club. Our guide was also an unpleasant women who never spoke unless it was to tell us what we were doing wrong. It was definetely not worth the money we spent and would not go back.

I didn't have a friend to fly with, so I participated alone this time! I'm not good with roller coasters, but to be honest, this was way less scary than a roller coaster. It was exhilarating! However, I did feel quite nauseous after the parachute opened. I ordered the DVD, and when I had a screening with my friends at the hotel, it was a lot of fun!
一緒に飛んでくれる友人がいなったので、今回は一人で参加しました!

Horseback riding has always been a really fun pastime for me, and I especially thought after seeing the ad on your site that this particular ride seemed different and unique. And it was!
The horses themselves are polo horses....and wow...are they beautiful. Very different from most ranch horses i have seen...and the ride itself...all I have ever been on have been on ranches along dusty trails or in the woods...THIS WAS ON THE BEACH...RIGHT BY THE WATER...IN HAWAII!! I honestly think I don't need to say anymore! On the beach...in Hawaii!

I choose this horsebackriding venue because of the website which stated they are not your typical trail ride. According to the ad we would not be riding nose to tail - that's exactly what we had to do--- also the ad stated we would be free to ride the horses to our ability-absolutely not, we were not allowed out of the line or to go faster than a walk or to go ahead of the guide-who was a most unpleasant woman. Also the beach part of the ride was very limited. The only high marks I give are to the horses!! They were not your typical trail horses. Overall I was disappointed, especially considering the high cost.

It was my first experience and I was very nervous, but as the instructor said, I was able to fly like a bird without feeling weightless. Falling from 4,200 meters at a speed of 200 km/h was thrilling. If you pay an additional fee (USD 188), a personal photographer will capture the entire experience from takeoff to landing on DVD and in about 100 photos. If you request something like "Please take a photo that captures the curvature of the Earth," they will likely accommodate that. Before flying, there is a few minutes of an image video and a brief lesson, but you will sign a contract stating that they are not responsible for any accidents, so the decision to participate is at your own risk. If you have any health concerns, it is recommended to see a doctor beforehand.
初めての体験でとても緊張したが、インストラクターの言ったとおり無重力を感じることなく鳥のように飛べた。4200mを時速200Kmの速さで落下するのでスリル満点。追加料金(USD188)を支払えば自分専属のカメラマンが離陸から着地までの一部始終をDVDと写真(約100枚)に撮ってくれる。おそらく「地球の丸さを感じる写真を撮ってください」などと希望すればそうしてくれるだろう。なお飛ぶ前には数分間のイメージビデオと簡単なレッスンがあるが、いかなる事故の責任も問わない旨の契約を結ぶので、やるやらないは自己責任。体調に不安がある人は、事前に医者に診てもらうことをお勧めする。

June 25, 2011: My first and probably last skydiving! I want to praise myself for doing well... Anyway, 1. Fear of heights doesn't really matter 2. There’s no G-force like on a roller coaster, and you don’t feel that floating sensation 3. The instructor is reliable, and you can experience it without any anxiety 4.

We participated as a couple. It was my husband's wish to join, and we had a really great time! I definitely recommend the course that has the longest airtime and goes the highest!
It gets cold up there. Also, the belts are quite tight, so I recommend wearing clothing that has some length around the shoulders and thighs. I wore a short-sleeve T-shirt and a long-sleeve shirt, but I ended up with light marks on my arms. If you have long hair, make sure to bring a hair tie! My hair is about shoulder length, and since I forgot a hair tie, it got really tangled after the flight.
You can land on both feet on the grass. I noticed that a few men landed on their bottoms (including my husband), so it might depend on the weight distribution with the instructor.
The mention of "long wait times" seems to refer to the editing time for those who requested DVDs. Still, during our time, there were 10 participants and 5 DVDs, and we were able to return to Waikiki around 12:30.
夫婦で参加しました。
そもそも夫の希望で参加しましたが、す~ご~く楽しかった!
絶対、滞空時間の長くなる、一番高く上がるコースをおすすめします!
上空は寒いです。またベルト類をぎっちり締めつけるので、肩口や腿の部分はある程度長さのある衣類をオススメします。
私は半袖T&長袖シャツでしたが、腕の付け根に軽く跡がつきました。
髪の長い方はヘアゴムを!私は肩ぐらいの長さですがヘアゴムを忘れたため、飛び終わった後は髪が絡まりまくって大変でした。。
芝生地に両足で立って着地させてもらえます。
見ていると男性はお尻からのかたが数人いたので(うちの夫も)、インストラクターさんへの加重にもよるのかもしれません。
「待ち時間が長い」とあるのは、DVDを申し込んだ方々の編集時間待ちのようです。
それでも私たちのときは参加者10人、DVD5人で、12時半ごろにはワイキキに戻れました。

My new husband and I booked a private ride with the Hawaii Polo Club while on our honeymoon. I've been on several other guided horseback trail rides in the past, but this was a little different. For one thing, the horses are actually polo-horses, not the standard "follow-the-leader" horses of a typical ranch. Because of this, you are better off if you have at least a little experience in handling horses. There were a few times that loud noises or unfamiliar things on the path caused some skittishness.
One thing that made me a little uncomfortable was that my activity voucher said we would need to sign a liability waiver before the ride. I assume this is a standard practice, but the staff at the club just saddled up our horses, and off we went. No forms, no waivers, they didnt even tell us their names, nor did they ask ours. Good thing (for them) our slightly skittish horses didnt dump us on our heads.

The usual choice for horseback riding was Kualoa Ranch, but since the reviews for their horseback riding weren't very good, I searched online and found this ranch that offers a tour with transportation included. I had been using Alan for optional activities in Hawaii, so I made a reservation.
The horses here are very smart, and even beginners can enjoy horseback riding with peace of mind. They walk at a very leisurely pace, which might be a bit unsatisfying for experienced riders, but I was able to take photos with one hand while enjoying the scenery in the mountains.
The trail goes through some very enchanting trees, and the view of the North Shore from the top of the mountain was absolutely beautiful.
I think it's definitely an experience worth having when you visit Hawaii.
乗馬の出来る牧場はクアロア牧場とお決まりでしたが、乗馬の評判はあまりよくないので、ネットで検索していたらこちらの牧場で送迎つきのツアーを見つけました。以前からハワイのオプショナル利用はアランを使っていたので予約しました。
ここにいる馬達はとても賢くて初心者でも安心して乗馬が楽しめます。とてもゆつくりしたペースで歩くので経験者には物足りないかもしれませんが山の中の景色を楽しみながら片手で写真を撮ることもできました。
山道ではとても幻想的な木々の中を通っていき山の上から見るノースショアの海は最高に綺麗でした。
ハワイに行ったら是非とも経験した方がいいと思います。

Would definitely book this again when back on the island.

I had a great time at Hawaii Polo ride! I've been on a horse before at a different commercial ranch, so I wasn't expecting much. Usually the horses are pretty worn down, tired and boring. Oh boy, this wasn't the case at all. All the horses at Hawaii Polo Club are well trained professional polo horses, so they are young, strong, muscular and ready to trot. They are just gorgeous to look at!
Even the guide from Argentine was a professional polo player/trainer, so he knew all about the horses. (I didn't know that Argentine was the capital of polo!) He explained to us what to do and what not to do with the horse. I was a bit nervous first since the horse was a professional polo horse, and you know what they say about how the horse can feel your fear! But the guide made me feel relaxed, and I definitely enjoy the ride on the beautiful beach on North Shore.
This is highly recommended! Very romantic for couples for sure.

I approached this with the determination to risk my life. That said, I wasn't scared at all, so anyone can take on the challenge. When I fell, it was more painful for my ears than it felt good. It might be a good idea to practice equalizing your ears...
The view during the dive was amazing, but I was really moved by the scenery I saw while ascending in the airplane (we flew with the door open).
Since it had rained the day before, it seemed there were a lot of participants, and the waiting time was long, which made others tired. However, I enjoyed taking pictures of various flowers and the parachutes coming down while I waited, so it wasn't a problem for me.
The DVD and photos cost $200 if you order both, but since a dedicated photographer is included, I thought it was a reasonable price despite being high. It has become a great memory.

Until now, I always made sure to include scuba diving wherever I went, but this time I experienced horseback riding in the canyon with my wife. We went from Honolulu to the North Shore with a tour company guide, who was very knowledgeable. They provided detailed explanations of the famous landmarks we saw along the way, making the journey to our destination enjoyable.
Previously, I had only passed by Hawaii's sacred sites, the school where President Obama attended, the hospital where he was born, and other essential facts that one must know to have a conversation. (I wonder if we just got lucky with the guide and tour company?)
As mentioned in the tour description, after the pickup, we stopped at places like Moanalua Gardens, Dole Plantation, Turtle Beach, and explored Haleiwa Town. I thought we might not have enough time, but once I tried horseback riding, it felt like it was worth it.
When we arrived at Happy Trails (the horseback riding ranch?), the owner, who seemed to be in charge, explained how to ride and control the horse with plenty of humor and gestures. (The explanation was all in English, so it might be difficult for those without language skills.) However, the tour guide explained the basic operating methods in Japanese before we arrived, so there was no need to worry at all. Additionally, the guide was there to assist with the owner's explanations, so I felt reassured.
The horses were well-trained, and the owner selected the horses based on compatibility with the riders. (I wonder if that's true?) After we set off, we rode through the woods and up and down the canyon, experiencing just the right amount of stress and thrill.
== It was so much fun!!! == After passing through the canyon, we reached an open area with a breathtaking view of the ocean below, which was a truly moving moment. == It was really enjoyable!!! == My wife is eager to bring our grandchild (who is in fourth grade) next time to let them experience horseback riding as well.
== This tour really helped me relieve my daily stress, and I am filled with gratitude towards the ranch owner and the tour company. ==
今まで、どこに行くのでも必ずスキューバダイビングは外せなかったのですが、今回渓谷乗馬を妻とともに体験しました。
ホノルルからノースショアーへ、ツアー会社のガイドの元行ったのですが、ガイドの人が博学で、途中車窓からの眺められた名所旧跡などの説明を細かく案内してくれ、飽きずに目的地まで着くことができました。
今までは、単に通り過ぎていたハワイの聖地や、現オバマ大統領の出身校、生まれた病院、アメリカ大統領になるための必須条件etc、まさに知識を取り入れておかなくては話せないような事柄を案内してくれたのです。(ガイド・ツアー会社に当たったのですかね?)
このツアーは案内説明にもあるようにピックアップ後、モアナルガーデン、ドールプランテーション、海がめビーチ、ハレイワ・タウン散策など途中で立ち寄ります。参加して、ちょっと時間が足らないかなと思いがちでしたが、乗馬体験をしてみるとしょうがないような気がしました。
ハッピートレイズ(乗馬体験場所の牧場?)に着くとオーナーと思われる人が乗馬のやり方、操り方法をユーモアたっぷりジェスチャーをまじえて説明してくれます。(説明は全て英語です、語学力のない方は無理かな?)・・・・・・・なんて言いません。
現地に着くまでにツアーガイドの人が日本語で最低限度の操作方法を説明してくれますので、まったく心配ありません
さらにオーナーの説明に対してもガイドの方がかたわらで説明してくれるので心配ありませんでした。
馬については調教された馬で、オーナーが乗る人の相性を確かめながら馬を選んでくれているとの事でした。(ほんとかね?)
出発した後、馬とともに林の中や渓谷を上ったり降りたり適度なストレスとスリルを味わいながら乗馬したのです。
==とっても楽しいよ!!!==
途中渓谷を抜けると開けた場所で、眼下に海を望み感動の一場面を得ました。==本当に楽しいよ!!!==
妻は今度は孫(小4)も連れて来てこの乗馬体験をさせるのだと張りきっています。
==本当に日ごろのストレスを発散させてもらったツアーで、牧場のオーナーやツアー会社に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。==

I participated this time because I wanted to experience horseback riding.
For beginners, there might be some anxieties like, "Will I be able to ride by myself?" or "What if I can't ride well and disturb others?!"
However, the horses used for this activity are well-trained for polo, and even someone like me, who is a beginner and not very confident in my athletic abilities, was able to enjoy it immensely.
All the necessary precautions regarding horseback riding are explained clearly in Japanese by the guide, so even those who are anxious about their English can participate with peace of mind.
Additionally, during the ride, the ranch staff provide fun support in very simple English, making the hour feel very short and giving a great sense of security.
The great thing about the mountain course is that you can enjoy the ups and downs of a course that you wouldn't typically find in Japan while feeling a pleasant breeze. Also, the view of the North Shore from the top of the mountain was fantastic.
Beyond the horseback riding experience, I think the guiding skills of this activity are worth experiencing. They make sure you enjoy everything on the way to and from the ranch, including Dole Plantation, turtle watching at Turtle Beach, and lunch at a non-frozen shrimp stand. Moreover, they can drop you off at your desired shopping area (DFS, Ala Moana) on the way back, allowing you to make the most of your day.
I participated alone this time and had some anxieties, but the guide provided excellent follow-up, so I was able to enjoy it very much.
今回は乗馬の体験をしたくて参加しました。
乗馬初心者の方は、
”自分一人で乗れるだろうか?”
”上手く乗れなくて他の方に迷惑をかけてしまうのではないか?!”
などの不安を多少なりともお持ちかと思います。
しかし、このアクティビティで使用される馬はポロ用にしっかり調教されており、初心者でかつあまり運動神経に自信がない私でも非常に楽しむことが出来ました。
乗馬に関する各注意事項は、ガイドの方がしっかり日本語で説明してくださるので、英語に不安を覚える方でも安心して参加することが出来ます。
また、乗馬中は牧場の方が非常に簡単な英語で楽しくフォローしてくれるので一時間がとても短く感じますし、安心感も非常にありました。
山コースの良いところは、日本では考えられないアップダウンがあるコースを気持ちがいい風を浴びながら楽しめるところです。
また、山の上からノースショアを一望できて最高でした。
乗馬体験以外にも、このアクティビティのガイド力は一度体験してみる価値はあると思います。
ドールプランテーション、亀海岸での亀ウォッチング、冷凍ではないシュリンプ屋台での昼食等、牧場までの行き帰り全てを無駄なく満喫させてくれます。
また、帰りは希望のショッピングエリア(DFS、アラモアナ)で車を下してもらうという希望にもこたえて頂けるので一日を無駄なく満喫することができます。
今回は一人参加で不安もありましたが、ガイドの方がしっかりフォローアップしてくれるので非常に楽しむことができました。

Horseback riding was amazing. I was able to ride for a long time, and instead of flat terrain, we went up and down mountains, which was a rare experience that I can't have in Japan.
At the turtle beach, I didn't see any turtles basking on the shore that day, but I discovered some turtles in the water! My excitement shot up instantly.
The shrimp I had for lunch was delicious. My sister, who was with me, said it was "the best" during her stay in Hawaii.
乗馬は最高でした。長時間乗れて、歩くのも平地ではなく山の登り降りがあり、日本では体験できない様な貴重な経験が出来ました。
海がめのビーチではこの日は甲羅干しをしているカメは見られませんでしたが、海の中にいるカメを発見!テンションが一気にあがりました。
お昼に食べた海老は美味しかった。一緒にいった妹はハワイ滞在中で『一番だった』と言ってました。
