I found the driver/tour guide annoying and condescending. When telling us the time limits he could have scripted better like i.e." we're on a tight schedule and we only have 10 mins on this site so please be back at (state the exact time). He's so full of himself and very scattered with his stories and facts. He didn't even know Hawaii's state bird, he said the white crane. He kept on showing his arm muscles and his jokes were not even funny. He kept on singing, he could just have played any Hawaiian music, he also took jabs at other driver/tour guides.

In addition to horseback riding, I was able to spend a meaningful day visiting the Dole Plantation and Haleiwa Town.
At the Dole Plantation, there wasn't much time to stay, so I could only do a light stroll and some shopping at the shop.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any sea turtles.
In Haleiwa Town, I had garlic shrimp for lunch. It was plump and delicious. Since the town isn't very large, I enjoyed walking around the shops and strolling with a coffee in hand.
Horseback riding by the beach was refreshing and fun. All the horses are smart, so I think even beginners can enjoy riding.
I was disappointed by some misinformation regarding horseback riding. The website and voucher mentioned that there would be free lockers available at the riding area, so I planned to store my valuables like my camera in a locker. However, there were no lockers, and the guide told me to keep my valuables with me, which made me anxious. I recommend bringing a small bag, like a waist pouch, to hold your valuables.
乗馬の他に、ドールプランテーションやハレイワタウンの観光も付いていて有意義に一日を過ごす事が出来ました。
ドールプランテーションでは滞在時間がそんなにないので、軽い散策とショップでの買い物くらいしかできませんでした。
ウミガメは残念ながら見られませんでした。
ハレイワタウンでは、ガーリックシュリンプを昼食に食べました。
ぷりぷりでおいしかったです。
そんなに広くない街なので、歩いてショップめぐりをしたり、コーヒーを片手に散策したりと楽しめました。
海辺での乗馬は気持ちがよく、楽しかったです。
どの馬もかしこいので、初心者でも乗馬が楽しめると思います。
乗馬に関して、事前の情報違いがあり残念でした。
「乗馬場では鍵のかかるロッカー(無料)がございます」との説明文がホームページやバウチャーに記載されていたので、カメラなど貴重品をロッカー預けようと思っていましたが、実際にはロッカーは無く、ガイドに自分で貴重品を持つように言われて焦りました。
ウエストポーチなど、貴重品を入れられる小さめのバッグを持って行くことをお勧めします。

Horseback riding by the seaside was amazing. The tour company's guide taught us how to ride horses in detail, so even complete beginners had no problems. (On the other hand, the ranch staff spoke only English, so I couldn't understand anything. Without the guide's pre-ride briefing, would we have been able to ride at all?) After all, they are living creatures; the young women struggled as the horses seemed to underestimate them. This tour included a little sightseeing in Haleiwa, but it might be better to focus solely on horseback riding. (There were overlaps with other day tours.)
海辺の乗馬は最高でした。ツアー会社のガイドさんが、馬の乗り方を丁寧に教えてくださったので、全くの初体験者でも問題はありませんでした。(反対に牧場の方は、英語なので全然わかりません。ガイドさんの事前レクがなければ、何もわからず乗ることに?) やはり生き物、若い女性は馬になめられて扱いに苦労していました。このツアーにはわずかなハレイワ観光などが含まれていましたが、乗馬だけに特化した方が良いかもわかりません。(他の1日観光と重複するところがあったので)

Our time at the Polynesian Cultural Center center was truly amazing. We did splurge on the super ambassador ticket. Which was well worth every penny. We spent the day with Tyrone, he was the most intelligent, knowledgeable, kind and caring person. He made sure we understood everything we were watching or listening too. It started to rain and he ran and supplied us all with rain ponchos. Everyone who worked there were friendly, and knowledgeable about their land. We were there for 8 hours and we could have easily have spent several more hours.

Horseback riding was very enjoyable, and the staff at the ranch only spoke English but were very kind. The horses were very well-trained, and although I have a little riding experience, I think even beginners can ride comfortably.
However, the person who guided us...
They weren't a bad person, but they spoke unilaterally without checking in with us. It felt like they were progressing through the tour like a factory assembly line, just going through the motions. I intended to ask for lunch as well, but when was the order taken? At one point during the drive, lunch was mentioned, but they didn't take our order. The guide seemed to think that since there was no lunch order, everyone should take care of it themselves. As a result, everyone in the vehicle ended up getting lunch on their own.
乗馬はとても楽しく牧場の人も英語でしか話せませんでしたがとても親切でした。馬もとても慣れていて、私は乗馬経験が少しありますが、初心者でも安心して乗馬が出来ると思います。
ただ、観光を案内してくれる人が・・・
悪い人ではないのですが、一方的に話をして確認をとったりしない。工場での流れ作業の様に一人で淡々と進めていく感じでした。昼食もお願いするつもりでしたが、いつ注文?一度運転中に話をしている中で昼食についても話がでましたが、注文をとってくれませんでした。ガイドさんは昼食の注文がなかったので、各自でとって下さい。と注文をとったつもりでいた様でしたが、おかげで車中全員が各自で昼食をとりました。

I participated in a trip with my girlfriend. The general flow was picking up participants at various locations → a break at Dole Plantation → free time in Haleiwa → horseback riding experience. At Dole Plantation, the pineapple ice cream is a specialty and it was sweet and delicious. Haleiwa (in the photo) is a nice place where I could shop at the newly opened Snoopy limited edition store and enjoy gourmet food at a restaurant famous for garlic shrimp. I had no prior experience with horseback riding, but they kindly taught me how to ride. The horses were all calm and easy to ride. Being able to ride for over an hour while enjoying the scenery was a valuable experience. The guide was also very kind, the explanations were easy to understand, and they were friendly! It was a very satisfying tour.

The weather forecast predicted rain and thunderstorms, but it turned out to be cloudy and not too hot, which was actually nice.
During the Haleiwa tour, they asked about my personal preferences and places I wanted to visit, allowing us to spend our time efficiently. If I could wish for anything, it would be an additional 15 minutes of stay time, as that would allow for a more relaxed experience.
The horseback riding by the beach was amazing! The feeling of openness when we emerged from the forest to the seaside was the best! I was healed by the sound of the waves while strolling.
Next time, I want to try horseback riding in the canyon!
天気予報は雨、雷マークでしたが、曇り空で暑すぎずかえって良かったです(^^)
ハレイワ観光は事前に個人の好み、行きたい場所を聞いてくださり、効率よく過ごせました。
欲を言えばあと15分滞在時間が長ければ、ゆとりを持って行動できると思います。

I arrived at Dole 5 minutes before opening, entered through the back door, and was the first to get the Dole ice cup with toppings for $6.50, which I had previously given up on due to the long line!
In Haleiwa, I enjoyed the garlic shrimp at Camaron, which was recommended by our guide, and the rainbow shave ice from Matsumoto Shave Ice. We waited just long enough for those who were late to make it to the next horseback riding session, and I was thrilled when we found the two of them while slowly driving back. I really appreciate the consideration shown by our guide, Kaz.
During the drive, Kaz listened to everyone's requests and kept the atmosphere lively with stories and quizzes, so we had a fun time without getting bored.
My first horseback riding experience was much more enjoyable than I had imagined. The view from the horse was fantastic, and the scenery at Turtle Bay was beautiful. In the forest, there were moments when the hungry horse decided it was mealtime or strayed off the path, but as Kaz explained, the horse listened well to the gentle guidance, making it very cute. Horseback riding was amazing!!! I plan to include horseback riding at the top of my itinerary for my next trip to Hawaii.
On the way back, we made an unexpected stop at a macadamia nut farm (with free coffee and nut cracking), and I was able to take great photos of the murals in the Kaka'ako area from the car window.
It was also possible to get off at our desired locations, and after arriving at the hotel, I got off at Ala Moana and enjoyed shopping at my leisure.
Thank you very much, Kaz, for all your help. I truly appreciate it! (o^―^o)
ドールには開店5分前に到着、裏口から入り、以前行列で断念したドールアイスカップ入りトッピング付き$6.50を一番乗りでゲット!!
ハレイワではガイドさんオススメのカマロンのガーリックシュリンプ、松本シェイブアイスのレインボーアイスを食べました。
集合時間に間に合わなかった方を次の乗馬に間に合うギリギリまで待ち、その後Uターンしながらゆっくり車を走らせてお二人を見つけた時には感激しました。ガイドのカズさんの配慮に脱帽です。
車内では一人一人の要望を聞いて下さり、出来るだけ皆が楽しめるような話やクイズで盛り上げてくれたので道中飽きる事なく楽しく過ごせました。
初めての乗馬は想像していたよりずっと楽しかったです。馬の上からの眺望は素晴らしくタートルベイの景色はとっても綺麗でした。林の中では途中食いしん坊の馬が食事タイムになったり、道を外れたりするのですが、ガイドさんの説明通り手網さばきで馬は素直にいう事を聞いてくれるのでとっても可愛いです。乗馬最高!!!次のハワイ旅行の時にも乗馬は真っ先に予定に入れるつもりです。
帰りには予定になかったマカダミアナッツファームで下車(フリーコーヒーとナッツ割り)、カカアコ地区の壁画も車窓からバッチリ写真撮影が出来ました。
希望の場所でも下車が可能で、ホテル到着後に行きたかったアラモアナで下車しゆっくりと買い物を楽しむ事が出来ました。

It's been a while since I've been to the North!!! I usually come by rental car, but I wanted to experience horseback riding on the beach, so I joined this tour. Although we were hit by a heavy downpour just before, it cleared up quickly, and I was able to ride safely. Since it was along the beach rather than on a road, it was a bit challenging to control the horse, but it felt great and was a lot of fun.

It was my first horseback riding experience, and the explanations during the car ride were very clear and included some humor, making it easy to understand. I was able to enjoy the ride.
I was worried about getting car sick due to the bad roads in Hawaii, but the driving was very careful, and I was able to sleep soundly on the way back, haha.
For your reference, it is mentioned that long pants are preferable, but since my legs didn't touch the horse's hair directly, shorts were fine as well. Large bags were not allowed.
Selfie sticks are not allowed, but they took photos along the coast, which made for great memories.
I love Hawaii even more now. I would like to participate in the horseback riding course again next time.

Additionally, the guide provided us with little tidbits of information and insights into Hawaiian history, as well as future information about Hawaii, which was very helpful. There was so much information that you wouldn't find in a guidebook, and the local guide was, above all, the best guidebook!

We participated as a family of four during the summer vacation. They came to pick us up at the hotel on time in the morning, and along the way, they shared stories about mango trees and former President Obama, making the journey enjoyable. They were considerate enough to ensure we had enough time for sightseeing in Haleiwa, allowing us to have a leisurely and delicious lunch. The main event, horseback riding along the coast, was so much fun that I can't even put it into words. They matched each rider with a horse based on the horse's personality. I was impressed by how many different personalities they have, just like humans. The horse for my elementary school son and me was very obedient, while my daughter and husband's horse was laid-back and a bit of a foodie, often stopping to graze, which made it a bit challenging! Those moments became fun memories as well. The view of the ocean from horseback was incredibly beautiful and refreshing. On the way back, the kids kept saying they wanted to go again! I would love to participate again as well. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience!
夏休みに家族4人で参加しました。朝も時間通りにホテルまでお迎えに来てくれて、道中もマンゴーの木を教えてくれたりオバマ元大統領の話をしてくれたり、と楽しい道中でした。ハレイワでの観光に時間が取れるようにと気にかけていただいたのでゆっくり美味しくランチを食べることができました。メインの海岸沿いでの乗馬はもう言葉にならないくらい楽しかったです。馬の個性を見ながら乗る人を決めてくれていました。人間と同じであんなにもいろんな個性を持っているのだと感心しました。私と小学生の息子の馬は従順な子だったのですが、長女と主人の馬はマイペースで食いしん坊な子で、何度も寄り道したりして苦戦してました!それも楽しい思い出です。馬上から眺める海も最高に美しく気持ちの良いものでした。
帰り道で子供たちはまた行きたい!と何度も言ってました。私も是非また参加させていただきたいです。

My child expressed a desire to try horseback riding, and after researching various options, I chose this tour that allows even a 7-year-old to ride for the first time. Other tours had age restrictions that we couldn't meet. Additionally, since I had never rented a car before, the fact that we could see the North Shore while horseback riding was a deciding factor.
The result was a great choice! When we stopped by the North Shore in the morning and visited Matsumoto Shave Ice, it was surprisingly empty. We thoroughly enjoyed the shave ice with my child. By the way, when we went back to Haleiwa in the afternoon after horseback riding, Matsumoto Shave Ice had a long line, so it was definitely the right decision to go in the morning!
After that, we moved on to start horseback riding. It was the first time for our whole family, but the guide explained everything in Japanese multiple times during the car ride, and the horses were well-trained, so there were no issues at all. My 7-year-old daughter seemed to have a lot of fun, calmly riding her horse while talking to it. I thought someone would be holding the reins for her, but that wasn't the case (laughs). She was really on her own.
The weather was great, and there were spots where we could see the valley and the ocean, which felt wonderful! My husband and the kids really enjoyed it too. It seemed like they appreciated that it wasn't just going around in circles on the ranch!
I liked it so much that I would definitely want to do it again when we go back to Hawaii!
子供から乗馬をしたいとの希望があり、いろいろ調べたところ、初めての7才でも乗せてもらえるこのツアーを選びました。他のツアーの乗馬は年齢制限にひっかかったので…。また、レンタカーは借りたことがないのでノースショアも見つつ乗馬もできるということも決め手でした。
結果は正解!午前中にノースショアに立ち寄ったときに、マツモトシェイブアイスにいったら、なんとガラガラ。子供とシェイブアイスを十分楽しめました。ちなみに乗馬のあとの午後に再びハレイワに行ったときは、マツモトシェイブアイスはすごく行列していたので、午前中に食べて正解でした!
その後移動して乗馬開始。家族みんな初めての乗馬でしたが、行きの車でガイドさんが日本語で何回も説明してくれたのと、馬がかなり調教されていたので、全く問題なしでした。
7才の娘もとても楽しかったらしく、自分の馬に話しかけながらずっと落ち着いて1人でのっていました。誰か手綱を引いてくれるのかと思ってましたが、違いました(笑)。本当に1人でしたよ。
天気もよくて、渓谷と海が見える場所もあり、とても気持ち良かったです!主人も子供たちもかなり気に入っていました。牧場内をぐるぐるまわるだけではないのが良かったみたいです!

The course in the mountains after the rain was a bit muddy, which made me a little anxious, but the horse walked very well. There were times when I slipped, but the horse maintained its balance, so it wasn't a problem. I think the course on a sunny day would also be nice, but the course after the rain was thrilling and fun. The boss doesn't speak Japanese, but the guide provides a thorough explanation before riding, and there are illustrated signs, so there's no need to worry.
雨が降った後の山のコースだったため、足元がぬかるみ少し不安でしたが、馬が上手に歩いてくれました。時々滑りましたが、馬が上手にバランスをとってくれるので問題ありませんでした。晴天のときのコースも良いと思いますが、雨が降った後のコースもスリリングで楽しかったです。ボスは日本語を話しませんが、乗馬前にガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくれるし、イラストで説明された説明版があるので心配いりません。

Toshi, our driver guide, was a kind and fun person. On the day of the tour, there were a total of 10 people picked up from three different hotels, and we were able to leave each hotel ahead of schedule, which made for a very pleasant start to the tour.
Although the weather was a bit bad, we were able to enjoy horseback riding and had a great day. I felt that the horseback riding was a bit more active and enjoyable than at Kualoa. My husband had his first horseback riding experience, and he seemed to really enjoy it, saying he wanted to ride again after we finished.
We couldn't see the turtles in Haleiwa, as it seems there is a specific season for that, but I recommend checking the timing if you're looking forward to seeing them. (You can gauge the chances of seeing them based on the guide's comments, haha.) For lunch, we thoroughly enjoyed garlic shrimp and huli huli chicken and were very satisfied.

I was worried about horseback riding for the first time, but the Japanese guide taught us carefully, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind! During the bus ride, they talked about recommended shops and the town of Hawaii, allowing us to fully enjoy the day. The only disappointment was that we couldn't meet any sea turtles at Turtle Bay.
初めての乗馬で心配していましたが、日本語ガイドさんが丁寧に教えてくださったので、安心して楽しむことができました!
バス道中でも、オススメのお店やハワイの街についてお話ししてくださり、一日満喫することができました(*´-`)
タートルベイでは、ウミガメに会うことができなくてそれだけが残念でした(´;ω;`)

It was the first experience for the whole family, but after a while, it became enjoyable. The scenery was amazing, and above all, the horses were cute. The locals were kind and friendly as well.
家族全員が初体験でしたがしばらくすれば楽しくなってきました。景色も最高で何より馬がかわいい。現地の人も親切で優しかったです。
Thank you for participating.
There seems to be a sense of tension in your back (in the photo).
Please use our services again next time.
ご参加ありがとうございました。
背中(お写真)に緊張感漂っていますね。

Here we have a small group of nice folks pouring their soul into this wonderful luau. Imagine all this happing within the beautiful confines of Waimea Valley! Great food, great entertainment and one heck of a value. Toa Luau is centered around the traditional Samoan luau ways and pays respect to Hawaii and all the islands of Polynesia. My party of six adults chose the Silver package and were delighted with our seating position to the show. The food was amazing. Do yourself a favor... leave the other touristy luaus to the tourists and experience what these lovely folks work so hard to share. Well done Toa Luau!!
Aloha and mahalo from your Toa Luau Ohana for your kind words! We hope to see you again, and soon! ^_^

My first trip to Hawaii and the first option tour!
It was great that the driver was Japanese, and I could hear various stories.
At Dole, the pineapple and soft serve were quite substantial, but they were very delicious.
After that, we went to the beach to see sea turtles, but unfortunately, the turtles didn't show up. My wife was very disappointed, but we caught a glimpse of one while driving.
In North Shore, we had lunch and did some light shopping (we could have used a bit more time).
Finally, it was time for horseback riding. My horse was quite well-behaved, but my wife's horse was a bit stubborn?! We struggled a bit, but the sea breeze along the coast felt really nice.
On the way back, thanks to the driver's suggestion, we stopped by a nut farm, which was also delicious.
It was a really great tour. Thank you!
初めてのハワイで最初のオプションツアー!
運転手さんが日本人で色々な話しも聞けて良かったです
Doleではパイナップルとソフトクリームなかなかのボリュームでしたがとても美味しかったです
そのあと海ガメを見に海岸へ行きましたが残念ながら亀さんは現れず妻がとても残念がっていましたが車で移動中に一瞬見れなんとか…
ノースシェアでは昼飯と軽いショッピング(もう少し時間が)
いよいよ乗馬、自分の馬はなかなかお利口さんでしたが妻の馬はちょっとわがまま?!で悪戦苦闘しましたが海岸沿いは浜風が吹きとても気持ち良かったです
帰りは運転手さんのはからいでナッツ園に寄って頂きこれまた美味しかったです
とても良いツアーでしたありがとうございます
Thank you for participating. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed various places. The Dole soft serve, with its coolness and creaminess, is popular among locals as well. I understand that you felt there wasn't enough time on the North Shore... I will take your feedback into consideration. Please do use our services again next time.
ご参加ありがとうございました。
各所、満喫されたご様子よかったです。Doleのソフトクリーム、あの冷たさとまろやかさはローカルにも人気です。
ノースショアで時間が足りなかったとのこと… ご意見参考に致します。
次の機会にも是非ご利用下さい。

On the way to the horseback riding point, thanks to the guide who kindly taught us how to ride horses in Japanese, I was able to ride smoothly from the very beginning!
乗馬ポイントへ向かう途中の車内で、ガイドさんが馬の乗り方についてとても丁寧に日本語で教えてもらえたおかげで、最初からスムーズに乗ることができました!
Thank you for participating. The sea breeze and sky blue are the best, aren't they? We hope you will use our services again next time.
ご参加ありがとうございました。
海の風とスカイブルー最高ですよね。次の機会もまたご利用下さい。
