I was able to visit places that are difficult to reach alone without a rental car, and I could leisurely explore the shops on the North Shore. It was great that we also stopped by a soap factory on the way back, allowing me to buy some souvenirs.
レンタカーがないとなかなか一人で行くことができない所に行けて、ゆっくりノースショアのショップを見て回ることができました。
帰りにソープ工場にも寄ってもらえてお土産を購入することができで良かったです。

I had a great time!
The driver was a nice person, and it felt wonderful to ride horses along the beautiful beach and connect with nature!
The only downside was that someone who wasn't picked up confronted the driver, insisting it wasn't their fault, and complained to the company, which created a negative atmosphere. It was unfortunate to encounter a complainer while in Hawaii, especially since there were others from the same hotel being picked up.
However, the driver continued to lighten the mood and was truly a good person! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate again!
とても楽しかったです!
ドライバーさんも良い人だったし、綺麗なビーチ沿いを馬に乗って散歩して自然を感じる事が出来て気持ち良かったです!
☆一つ少ないのは、ピックアップされなかった人が、自分は悪くないってドライバーさんに、食ってかかったり、会社に文句の電話してたり、降りる時に文句言い逃げしたりして、空気が悪くなったからです。
同じホテルからピックアップされてる人がいるって事は……って感じでしたが、ハワイに来てまでクレーマーに遭遇とは。不運でした。
けど、その後もドライバーさんは和ませてくれて、本当に良い人でした!
またハワイに行く機会があれば是非参加したいです!

This was a truly awesome experience. We had Sam as a driver and he was totally great. He navigated traffic well and all of his narrating was necessary, funny and enjoyable.
We had a slight problem in that we missed our pick up (oops!) but the company was helpful and told us where to go to get another pick up.
We did some bike riding in the morning, saw Pipeline and had a great time. In the afternoon we tried SUP and saw turtles! It was a fully awesome experience. So good getting out and SEEING the North Shore, not just taking pictures of it.

There are many optional tours to Dole, but this tour had a sufficient time of 75 minutes at Dole, which made me hopeful since I have a 3-year-old child and thought we could take our time on the train. However, we were put on the same tour as the horseback riding group, which shortened our time at Dole to 50 minutes. By the time we got on the train, we only had 10 minutes left. After buying ice cream, we barely made it back to the car, leaving no time for a stroll or to look at souvenirs. To make matters worse, we had to wait for the horseback riders to return, resulting in only 3 hours at Haleiwa. The guide kindly took us for a 20-minute drive, but isn't this terrible considering we paid for it? I feel like I would have preferred another optional tour instead. Also, even though we were charged for one child's fare, the bus seat was on my lap. I felt like I lost out.
On the positive side, the guide, Mr. S, was excellent. He was knowledgeable about plants and incorporated current events while explaining the scenery and buildings visible from the bus. He quickly found and spoke to participants and waited in an easy-to-find spot, showcasing his wonderful personality. When I inquired about a forgotten item on the bus, he promptly delivered it to me. Given how fantastic the guide was, it was very disappointing regarding the time management.
ドールに行くオプショナルツアーはたくさんあるけれど、こちらのツアーはドールの時間が75分と十分な時間が設定されており、3才の子供がいたので列車にも乗れてゆっくりできるかな・・・と期待して申し込みました。しかし乗馬プランの人と同じツアーにされたため、ドールの時間は50分に短縮。列車に乗ると、残り10分。アイスを買ったら車に戻るのがやっとで、散策したりお土産を見たりする時間はありませんでした。おまけに乗馬の人が帰ってくるのを待つため、ハレイワの滞在時間が3時間。ガイドさんが気を遣って、20分ほどドライブに連れて行ってくれましたが、料金を払ったのに、これってひどくないですか? これだったら他のオプショナルツアーにしたのにな・・・という気分です。また、子供も1人分の料金を取ってるのに、バスの席は膝の上。損した気分でした。
良かったと言えば、ガイドのSさんです。植物に詳しく、時事ネタも取り入れながら、バスから見える景色や建物についてよく説明して下さいました。また、ツアーに参加した人を素早く見つけて声をかけたり、わかりやすい位置で待っていてくれたり、人柄も素晴らしくとても良かったです。バスに忘れ物をして問い合わせすると、すぐに届けてくれました。ガイドさんが素晴らしかっただけに、時間配分の件は非常に残念でした。

I booked a hotel transfer in Waikiki. When I arrived on-site, there were instructions for horseback riding posted in Japanese. Everything else was in English, but the guide at the front provided basic directions like "right" and "left" in broken English. They use horses that have retired from polo, and they were very well-trained and beautiful. The course included muddy areas, steep slopes, and scenery that could only be accessed on horseback, which was quite magical. In the latter part of the ride, I was able to have my picture taken on the horse against a beautiful backdrop of the ocean with my own camera. (There was no pressure to buy photos!!)
ワイキキホテル送迎込を探して申し込みました。現地に到着すると、日本語での乗馬の注意が貼ってありました。その部分以外はすべて英語ですが、基本的な右へ、左へ、は先頭の誘導してくださる方が片言で教えてくれます。POLO競技から引退した馬を使用されているとのことで、とてもしつけの行き届いたキレイな馬でした。ぬかるみや、急勾配、馬でしか立ち入れないようなコースで周りの景色も幻想的でした。後半には海の見える美しい景観の場所で馬に乗った姿を自分のカメラで撮ってもらえました。(写真売りつけたりとかは無いです!!)

Just thinking that my 82-year-old mother joined this optional tour simply because she loves horses still gives me butterflies. It was truly a canyon horseback riding plan, just as described. We skillfully navigated narrow paths that barely fit the width of the horses. It's an experience I still can't believe. I wonder how we managed to return safely after walking through such a canyon with a beginner like me. We lined up for a full hour, walking slowly, but there were slopes, narrow paths, and curves, and it seemed my mother was scared until the end. She was desperately talking to the horse to keep it moving. Although they never acted up, being natural creatures, they sometimes stopped to eat grass by the side or just halted, which left us unsure of what to do. However, the horses were truly smart and safely carried us on their backs for an hour. I don't think I'll ever have an experience like this again. I highly recommend it to young people.
馬が好きだと言うことだけで82歳の母をこのオプショナルツアーに参加させたと思うと今でもドキドキします。まさに言葉通りの渓谷乗馬プラン。馬の幅も無いような狭い道を上手進みます。今でも信じられない経験です。こんな初心者を乗せてあんな渓谷を歩いてよく無事に帰ってこれたなと思います。1時間たっぷり1列に並んで、ゆっくりゆっくり歩きますが、坂道があったり細い道があったり、カーブがあったり、最後まで母は怖かったみたいです。一生けん命馬に声をかけて乗せてもらっていました。暴れたりすることは決してないのですが、やはり自然の生き物なので、わきの草を食べたり、止まってしまったりするとどうしていいかわからなくなりました。でも本当にお利口な馬たちで、無事に1時間私たちを背中に乗せて歩いてくれました。こんな経験はもうできないと思います。若い人にお勧めです。

I signed up because I wanted to go horseback riding. There are a total of 9 participants, including the two of us. Before heading to the North Shore, we passed by the high school that Obama attended, and along the way, we were able to hear some stories that are not often shared. Our guide, Nakama, was constantly talking and was very considerate, showing that he was well-informed about history and current events in Hawaii. The horseback riding itself felt like quite a challenging course, but since an 80-year-old grandmother was able to ride, I managed to get through it safely (although I almost fell off while waiting...). I was at the front, riding behind what seemed to be the owner, a funky grandmother who was probably over 70 with long braids. She explained everything in English, but I could only understand simple words, so it would have been very educational if I had been better at English. The content of this tour was more than sufficient. More than that, meeting wonderful people like Nakama became my most cherished memory. Thank you very much.
乗馬がしたくて申込しました。私達2人含め合計9名での参加です。まずはノースショアに向かう前にオバマさんの通った高校を通ったりしながら、道中はなかなか聞けないお話をうかがえました。担当のナカマさんはずーっとしゃべりっぱなしで大変気遣いもあり、歴史やハワイの旬な情報をぬかりなくチェックしているのがわかりました。肝心の乗馬はなかなかキツイコースに感じましたが、80歳のおばあさんも乗れていたので、なんとか無事にこなせました。(待機中落馬しかけましたが・・)私が先頭で、ロング三つ編みのファンキーな70は過ぎているだろう、おばあさんのオーナーらしき人のあとにくっつき乗馬していたのですが、英語でひとつひとつ説明をしてくれているのですが、わたしには簡単な単語しかわからず、英語ができれいれば大変勉強になったはずです。このツアーの中身は充分です。それよりも、ナカマさんのような素晴らしい人たちに出会えたことが一番の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

My husband and I were disappointed with the tour guide. We felt he had a attitude about him and really didn't want to be there. At times we thought he was being rude in his manor and attitude. We went on another tour and the guide was so different and really acted like he wanted to be there. It made a big difference on the tour and made it much more enjoyable. The tour itself was great, but it could of been a lot nicer if the guide was more interested in the people on his bus and what he was doing.

A few years ago, I experienced beach horseback riding and canyon horseback riding, and those enjoyable moments have stayed in my heart. I wanted to participate again to relive that excitement while I'm still energetic.
I was worried that the tour would be canceled since I had booked it for a weekend when a rare typhoon hit Oahu, but it ended safely despite the heavy rain. Eleven participants of various ages joined in, with the ocean waves crashing and rain pouring down.
It was a 45-minute ride while wearing the borrowed helmet and raincoat. My pants and shoes were soaked, and my makeup was washed away, making it an unforgettable experience. I appreciated the thoughtful care provided by the four women who took care of us.

I participated in a one-day course from morning to evening with nine people, including myself. Since I was the last to be picked up, I waited for 15 minutes and was really anxious about whether they would actually come, but after that, everything went smoothly. In addition to horseback riding, we visited Moanalua Gardens, a pineapple plantation, and saw sea turtles (which we miraculously spotted!). We had lunch at a delicious shrimp restaurant, and since we had some extra time, they kindly took us to a soap factory. Our guide, Jimmy, was a Japanese-American who was fluent in Japanese and very experienced in guiding. He translated all the instructor's explanations during the horseback riding, so there were no issues at all.
Now, regarding the main horseback riding experience, the horses were well-trained thoroughbreds used for polo, and they responded very well to the reins even without a bit in their mouths. There were no problems for beginners at all! The ride was supposed to be an hour and a half, but with explanations and time spent mounting the horses, we actually rode for about an hour and fifteen minutes. It was so enjoyable that it felt like no time at all. When you hear "valley," you might imagine a river flowing, but we simply walked along mountain paths at a steady pace, going up and down repeatedly, and finally reached a spot where we could see the beach in the distance for a commemorative photo on horseback. Shortly after that, we dismounted. After finishing, we immediately got into the car and headed for lunch, so I was a bit disappointed that we didn't have time to interact with the horses or relax at the ranch, but it was a very fun day.
Since we were mostly walking, it might be a bit unsatisfying for intermediate to advanced riders, but I think it was a great experience to create wonderful memories of Hawaii.
朝から夕方までの1日コースで、私を含めて9人が参加しました。ピックアップの順番が最後だったので15分またされて、本当に来てくれるのかとドキドキしましたが、そのあとは順調でした。乗馬のほかにモアナルアガーデン、パイナップル園、ウミガメ見学(奇跡的に見られました!)、おいしいシュリンプのお店でお昼、時間が余ったので特別にソープファクトリーまで連れて行っていただきました。ガイドのジミーさんは日本語が堪能の日系の方でガイドにとても慣れていました。乗馬もインストラクターの説明を全て通訳してくださったので全く問題ありませんでした。
さて、メインの乗馬ですが、馬はポロ競技用によく調教されているサラブレッドで、口にハミを付けていなくても手綱の指示で本当によく動いてくれました。初心者でも全く問題ありません!時間は、1時間半コースでしたが説明や馬に乗る時間があるので実質1時間15分乗ったか乗らないかくらいでした。楽しかったのであっという間でしたね。渓谷と聞くと川の流れを想像させるのですが、ひたすら山道を並足で進み、上り下りを繰り返し、最後に遠くにビーチを望む場所に出て馬上で記念撮影。そのすぐ後に下馬になりました。終わったらすぐに車に乗って昼食に向かったので、馬と触れ合ったり牧場でのんびりしたりする時間がなかったのがちょっと残念でしたが、とても楽しい1日でした。
ずっと並足だったので乗馬の中上級者にはものたりないかもしれませんが、ハワイのいい思い出を作るには盛りだくさんでいい体験かなと思います。

After spending the first couple of days in Hawaii walking everywhere, it was nice to sit and relax in the tour van and watch the island slide by out the windows. The hike through Wiamea Valley to the falls was beautiful, although I wish more plants and flowers had been in bloom. Lunch was awesome. This tour is alright, but we could easily have seen everything on our own with a car rental.
You can do anything on your own if that's what you want to do. But then you would have had to drive for 8 hours (paying close attention to the worst traffic in the nation), instead of enjoying the views and just relax. You would have had to rent a car for the whole day, you would have had to pay your own entry fees to the visited locations, you would have had to pay for your own lunch at Fumis and stand in line for it yourself instead of being served, you would have had to buy a guide book and study it to know where to go, you would have had to have someone read out aloud all the interesting facts about our islands natural history, just like our trained guide did for you for 8 hrs. We agree with you that the tour is beautiful and awesome. Plus, we fully delivered what we promised and if you add up all these extra expenses and inconvenience you would have had to encounter had you chosen to drive yourself, you would have lost money and comfort instead of gaining. Aloha!

It's convenient to have transportation to the hotel since it's away from Waikiki. The driver's round-trip guidance was interesting and made for a fun time.

I would love to ride again if there were a course that allows for a two-hour trip and galloping. The beautiful ocean, typical of Hawaii, with sea turtles swimming around made for a blissful location.

I participated with my two daughters. Unlike the cheerful atmosphere of Waikiki, I thought, "Ah, I want to live here forever!" (Though that's impossible…) It was full of nature, and we relaxed.
In Haleiwa, we had to coordinate the timing between the horseback riding group and the beach group, which resulted in about 30 minutes in the morning and a 40-minute break after riding. It's a shame we couldn't explore the town slowly. However, we were able to have lunch at Mackey's.
For horseback riding, we had to wait about 40 minutes during the lunch break with the riding club members…? My daughter, who is usually scared of dogs, managed to ride without any issues and followed at the back. However, my horse, perhaps due to compatibility issues, kept trying to bite my feet and lower its head to eat grass, making me almost fall off!!!

There wasn't a lot of options in the afternoon activities like in the morning. Overall, we enjoyed the tour very much.

The guide was Japanese, so everything was in Japanese.
I was thrilled to see the trees, and at the Dole Plantation, the kids were excited to ride the pineapple train. We were on the train for about 30 minutes, which felt quite long.
They mentioned we might not see any turtles, but we were able to see a few swimming turtles, which got my 3-year-old daughter excited. For lunch, we had shrimp from Markey's! It was delicious! The Matsumoto Shave Ice was super crowded, but it was definitely tasty!

Horseback riding on the North Shore was truly amazing. The only downside was the driver's poor attitude. I was told the car's air conditioning was not working well, but it was completely ineffective, making the environment inside the car terrible. I believe proper maintenance is the bare minimum of good manners. If you're in the service industry, I expect a proper response.
ノースショアでの乗馬は、本当に最高でした。ただただ残念なのが運転手の愛想が悪かったことが残念です。車のエアコンの調子が悪いと言われていたが…全然エアコンが効いておらず車内の環境は、最悪でした。ちゃんとメンテナンスをしておくことが最低限のマナーだと思いますよ。客商売ならきちんとした対応を望みます。

I participated with my children, who are in the fourth and third grades. My child wanted to try horseback riding, and after researching, this was the only option available for an 8-year-old. Besides our family, there was only one other family, and they listened to various requests. However, although it was advertised as a 90-minute horseback riding session, it actually lasted only 60 minutes. I thought we would have a bit more time for North Shore sightseeing, but there was hardly any time left. Our guide, Nakama, was very polite and taught us a lot, but it felt a bit different from what I had expected. However, the horseback riding was great.
小4と小3の子供と3人で参加しました。子供が乗馬をやりたいと言い、調べたところ8歳の子供でもできるのはこれしかなかったので。うちの家族以外はもう1家族のみで、いろいろ要望を聞いてくださいました。ただ、乗馬は90分とあったのに実際は60分。ノースショア観光ももう少しできるのかと思っていましたが、ほとんど時間がありませんでした。ガイドのナカマさんは、いろいろ教えてくださってていねいでしたが、ちょっと思っていたことと違う感じでした。でも乗馬はよかったです。

We all had a great time as a family. During the horseback riding, several staff members accompanied us and provided solid support for the children, which made us feel secure, and we were satisfied with the ample riding time. Additionally, we stopped by a few shopping spots recommended by our guide, where we were able to purchase some great deals. Even during the car ride, we had various conversations and were never bored. However, it would have been nice if they had spoken a bit more slowly. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate once more.
家族みんなで楽しめました。乗馬ではスタッフが何人か付き、子供をしっかりサポートしてくださったので、安心でしたし、乗馬時間もたっぷりで満足出来ました。また、ガイドさんおすすめのショッピングスポットに数か所寄っていただき、お買い得な品々を購入することが出来ました。車中でも、色々なお話をしてくださり退屈しませんでした。ただ、もう少しゆっくり話してくださった方が良かったかな。ハワイに行くことがあれば、また参加したいです。

If you start well, you will end well.
After horseback riding on the afternoon of the 13th, we enjoyed canyon horseback riding on the final day of our trip in the morning.
Some people might say, "Is it really that fun?" but we found it enjoyable. My grandchild was in high spirits riding the same horse, "Kahlita," as on the 13th.
The horseback riding experience begins right outside the hotel, and we were fortunate to have a tour guide named "Nakama."
While you could just rent a car for horseback riding, having a knowledgeable tour guide who knows everything about Hawaii makes the activity much more memorable.
Additionally, I am very grateful for how accommodating they were to our requests.
1. Excellent time management
2. Thoughtful attention to guests, which is highly appreciated.
3. Rich knowledge and wide connections with celebrities
From what I remember, the tour guide "Nakama" didn't seem to like shrimp, but he responded to the guests' requests and ordered garlic shrimp from Macky's for everyone to take out, allowing us to use our time effectively.
I look forward to enjoying canyon horseback riding again next time.
始めよければ終わりも良し。
13日午後からの乗馬に続き、旅行最終日に午前からの渓谷乗馬が取れたので楽しんでみました。
え!そんなに楽しいのと言う人もいますが、私たちは、楽しいです、孫は、 13日と同じ馬「カリータ」に乗って上機嫌でした。
乗馬の始まりは、ホテルを出たところから始まりますが、ツアーガイドの 「ナカマさん」という方にも恵まれました。
乗馬だけならレンタカーで行けば事足りるのですが、やはり、ハワイのことならまかしとけ、というような物知りのツアーガイドの方と一緒にアクティビティをできることは、旅の想い出を何倍にも増やせますね。
さらに、リクエストにも快く応えて大変感謝しております。
1 時間の配分が上手
2 ゲストに対するきめ細やかな心遣いが好感度大です。
3 知識が豊富なのと、知名人との裾野が広い
等々でした。
私の記憶だと、ツアーガイドの「ナカマさん」はエビが好きでなかったように記憶していますが、ゲストのリクエストに応えてくれ、マッキーのガーリックシュリンプをみんなの分、テイクアウト注文してくれていて、時間を有意義に使えました。
また次回も渓谷乗馬たのしみたいです。

Horseback riding included both descending and ascending mountains, with some thrilling moments. It allowed for a sense of adventure in nature, and the view of the sea from the mountains was refreshing. The riding time was quite long, making it enjoyable for beginners. The local woman who explained the horseback riding was friendly and helpful.
The information provided by the Japanese male driver added great value, and the coffee farm we stopped at was enjoyable. The lunch bento was also well-prepared, resulting in a high level of satisfaction.
乗馬は山下り山登りがあってひやひやする局面もあり、自然の中で冒険心が発揮され、山から海が見えて気持ち良く、乗馬時間も結構長く確保され、初心者にとっては十分楽しめる。乗馬説明の現地女性もフレンドリーでよかった。
日系男性ドライバーの方から提供される情報の付加価値が高く、途中立ち寄ったコーヒー農園も楽しく、昼食の弁当も上手く、満足度高かった。

The guide for the shuttle service was chatty and fun. I was a bit anxious about horseback riding, but the horse was well taken care of, so it was great. If I have the opportunity, I would like to go again. I don't really like shrimp, but the shrimp lunch was delicious. The pineapple ice at Dole Plantation was enough for two to share, and it was not overly sweet, making it delicious. It was the best day ever.
送迎のガイドさんは、お喋りで楽しかったです 。乗馬は、少し不安だったけど手入れもいきとどいた、お馬さんだったのでよかったです。また、行くきかいがあったら行きたいと思います。エビはあんまり好きじゃなかったけれどシュリンプランチは美味しかったです。ドールプランテーションのパイナップルアイスは二人で一つで食べれるし、しつこくない甘さで美味しかったし最高の一日でした

I participated because I wanted to ride a horse.
There were some sightseeing stops along the way, but the driver was Japanese and managed everything very efficiently, keeping track of time perfectly.
I thought I would only be able to enjoy either the garlic shrimp or the huli huli chicken, but I was able to enjoy both within the limited time.
However, regarding the horseback riding, I searched for a tour that was suitable for advanced riders, but I ended up with beginners, so we only walked for 90 minutes...
That was the only disappointing part.
Because of that, I wanted to give it 5 stars, but I gave it 4 instead.
The driver deserves 5 stars, though!
馬に乗りたくで参加しました
途中観光などありましたがドライバーさんが日本人で
すごく段取りよく効率よくキッチリ時間管理してくれたので
ノースでどちらかしか無理だと思っていた
ガーリックシュリンプもフリフリチキンも時間のない中、両方楽しむ事ができました
ただ乗馬に関してだけ
上級者でもOKの乗馬ツアーを探して参加したのに初心者と一緒になってしまった為
90分歩いただけ…
それだけが残念でした
なので★5つにしたいところを4にしました
ドライバーさんは★5ですww
