North Shore
Lots of history of the islands, and a great evening show to top it off!
The horse I was riding tended to stop and was quite lazy, but I thought it was cute because horses have their own personalities, haha.
私が乗っていたお馬さん、立ち止まったりと結構サボり気味だったけど、馬にも個性あって可愛いなと思いました笑
The meeting place is quite far from Waikiki, so I recommend allowing plenty of time to get there! Also, the horses do their business while riding, so it's better to wear shoes that you don't mind gett
集合場所ワイキキからだと結構遠いので、時間には余裕もっていくことをお勧めします!
あと、お馬さん乗馬中に普通にうんこするので、汚れてもいい靴履いて行った方がいいです笑
I couldn't communicate in Japanese, but I had a great time horseback riding even in the heavy rain! The people were very kind, and I felt safe riding. I want to try again on a nice day!
日本語は通じないですが、大雨でも楽しく乗馬ができました!とても優しい方々で、安心して乗れました!天気がいい日にリベンジしたい!
The check-in process was easy to understand, and since the important information was provided in Japanese, there were no uncertainties at all! There were about five groups in our party, along with four staff members. The explanations were in English, but they demonstrated everything, making it easy to follow. During the break, we were provided with water and fruit. It was clear that they were attentive to safety, which allowed me to try everything with peace of mind. It was my first time, but I had a great time! Thank you very much!
チェックインもわかりやすいし、注意事項の確認も日本語なので不明点など一切なし!
一パーティに5組くらいで一緒に回りますが、スタッフも4人。
英語のみの説明ですが、やってみせてくれるのでわかりやすい。
途中休憩でお水やフルーツが提供されます。
安全に気を遣っていることがわかり、安心してトライできました。
初めてですが楽しめました!
ありがとうございました!
Since the weather can change rapidly in the mountains, it's a good idea to prepare a change of clothes and a raincoat if you're concerned! We were provided with raincoats because it rained before our
山なので天気がコロコロ変わりやすいので、心配な方は着替えや雨合羽を用意するといいです!
私たちは出発前に雨が降ったので、雨合羽を支給されました。
Guides were friendly, approachable and experienced in their craft. All questions and concerns were answered technically and thoughtfully. Would go again! 😃
Be on time. Don’t hold up the crew and other excursioners.
One of the best experiences I’ve ever had! It happened to storm in the middle of our tour, which made it even better. They offer great tours if you don’t mind the rough terrain and getting dirty. Check them out if you want a sense of adventure!
Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty or wet in case of inclement weather.
It wasn't very large, so I was able to explore it on foot.
There were things I wanted to try that I had caught a glimpse of when I had a guide before. I wanted to get a tattoo (there are different designs in Tahiti and Fiji, and sometimes they are not available when you want to do it later), try out an outrigger canoe (it was a smaller area than I expected), watch the haka at a New Zealand show, go fishing (no one caught anything, but it was still fun), and take photos with the villagers. I was able to do all of that.
I also went to a show in Samoa, and the fire knife performance seemed interesting, so I checked it out. The first 15 minutes inside the building was a talk (it was in English, so I didn't understand much), and then everyone was told to go outside! So, the juggling with fire sticks began in the garden, and it might be better to wait outside instead of rushing to get a good seat inside from the start.
It was peaceful, and everyone was kind; I had a wonderful experience.
However, regarding the video data worth $22.50, even after scanning the QR code I received, it just says "processing." I've inquired about it, but even after more than two weeks, it hasn't been sent, so I'm not sure what it is.
それほど広くないので徒歩で十分見て回れました
以前ガイドさんがついてくれた時にチラ見してやってみたいなと思っていたこと
タトゥー(タヒチとフィジーとで柄に違いがある、やっている時とやっていない時があるので後でやろうと思うとできないことがある)アウトリガーカヌー(思ったより狭い範囲だった)、ニュージーランドのショーでハカを観る、釣り(やっぱり誰も釣れないけど楽しい)、村人たちとの写真撮影 等全部できました
サモアでのショー、ファイヤーナイフも面白そうなので行ってみました
建物の中で前半15分はお話(英語なのであまりわからず)その後みんな外へ出ろ♪
ということで庭で火のついた棒のジャグリングが始まるので急いで最初から建物の中の
いい席を取ろうとしないで外で待っていた方がいいかもしれません
のどかでみんなやさしく、楽しい経験ができました
ただ、22.5ドル相当のビデオデータというのが、いただいたQRコードを読み取っても
只今処理中というばかりで 問い合わせしていますが2週間以上経っても送られてこないのでどういう物なのか不明です
If you ask at the reception, they will provide you with a Japanese pamphlet. For those who are leaving without watching the evening show, it's a good idea to confirm the pickup time and location with
日本語のパンフレットは受付で言うと出してくれます
夜のショーを観ないで帰る人は 行きのバスの運転手さんに迎えの時間と場所を
しっかり確認しておく、迎えが来ないときの連絡先を確認しておくのが良いです
The cage was secure and the guides stayed nearby the entire time to ensure everyone was comfortable. We saw several sharks circling which made the experience even more incredible.
Each village offered something unique, with engaging demonstrations, performances, and friendly staff who shared their traditions and stories.
So much to see!
The opening canoe show is fantastic!
Tons to see, big park.
Buffet was fair - lots of food, if you're still hungry afterwards, that's your fault!
HA Breath of Life! Brilliant, Amazing, Exhilarating absolutely worth seeing!
The area were we rode was still wet and muddy. I got a horse who refused to move so was led the entire ride. The Dole plantation party of the tour was too short and the place wasn't even open yet when we arrived, cutting into our time there. The town we visited on the way back was just a time sick, although we found a great burger place to eat lunch. I would not recommend.
Thank you for joining our tour. Hawaii has experienced continued bad weather this year, and there have been occasions when the horseback riding tour had to be canceled due to weather conditions. We sincerely apologize regarding the amount of time spent at Dole Plantation. We have reconfirmed the schedule with the driver to help prevent this from happening again. Please note that the stop in Haleiwa Town is part of tour itinerary. We understand that it may not have matched your expectations, and we appreciate your feedback.
This was my third horseback riding experience in Hawaii, and it was my first time at this location. The course still showed some effects from the flooding, but the instructors were very friendly, making for a highly satisfying ride.
Due to the flooding in March 2026, I couldn't find the entrance sign mentioned in the VELTRA description, which made parking a bit confusing. The entrance is marked by a gate that says something like "No beach visitors."
The instructors shared various stories about the horses, including their relationships with each other and what they used to do. It's clear that they care deeply for each horse.
Additionally, there was a forecast predicting bad weather around the end of our reservation time, so they started the tour 30 minutes early. As the instructor predicted, we finished before the weather turned bad.
After the ride, we were able to give the horses grass snacks and carrots.
Overall, I had a very enjoyable time.
ハワイでは3回目の乗馬で初めて行く場所でした。
洪水の影響がまだ残るコースでしたが、インストラクターの方たちがとてもフレンドリーで、満足感の高い乗馬でした。
2026年3月の洪水の影響か、VELTRAの説明にあるような入り口の看板は見当たらず駐車する際少し迷いました。”No beach visitors”的な文言が書いてあるゲートが入り口です。
馬同士の関係や、元々何をしていた馬たちなのかなどいろんな話を聞かせてくださいました。1匹1匹の馬をとても大切にしていることがわかります。
また予約終了時間時の天気が怪しくなる予報が出ており、30分前倒しでツアーを始めいただきました。インストラクターさんの予想通り、天気が悪くなる前に終了することができました。
乗馬の後には草のおやつやにんじんをあげることができました。
総じて大変楽しい時間を過ごせました。
The restroom is only a basic one, so please be aware of that. There are no souvenir shops, vending machines, or lockers for valuables, so it's recommended to go by rental car or similar means so you c
お手洗いは簡易のものしかないので注意です。お土産屋さん、自動販売機、貴重品を入れるロッカーはありませんので、荷物をある程度持って行けるようレンタカーなどで行くのがおすすめです。
The horses were well-trained, which made me feel very safe while riding. My family of four experienced this together, and it was interesting to see that the horses also have their own relationships; they seemed to have preferences, as some horses didn't get along well and couldn't maintain a good distance from each other.
Unfortunately, due to several days of heavy rain, we couldn't follow the usual course, and the actual time spent riding was less than an hour, which was disappointing.
よく調教されているお馬さん達で、とても安心して乗馬することができました。
家族4人で体験しましたが、それぞれの馬同士も相性があるらしく、嫌いな馬とは上手く距離がとれなかったりと、人間関係ならぬ馬関係も垣間見れ面白かったです。
何日かひどい雨が続いていたこともあり、通常のコースを歩くことができなかった為か、実際に馬に乗っていた時間は1時間にも満たなかったのが残念でした。
We went by rental car from Waikiki. The riding time was just right, not too long and not too short. The staff doesn't speak Japanese, but they show a simple Japanese video explanation. The horses are very smart, so there are no worries or problems at all. We were blessed with good weather, and the scenery was magnificent and beautiful.
ワイキキからはレンタカーで行きました。
乗馬時間も長過ぎず短すぎず丁度いい時間でした。
スタッフは日本語喋れませんが、簡単な日本語ビデオの説明を見せてくれます。
お馬さんがとても賢いので何の心配も問題もありません。
天気にも恵まれ、とにかく景色が雄大で美しかったです。
There are no coin lockers, so pack only the essentials! If you hang your smartphone around your neck, you can take photos and videos with peace of mind.
コインロッカーがないので荷物は必要最低限で!
スマホは首から下げるようにすると写真や動画が安心して撮れます。
On est vraiment plongé dans l’apprentissage sur l’histoire des îles polynésiennes.
Le souper était à nouveau excellent et le spectacle HA le souffle de la vie est majestueux
Ne pas hésiter à réservé cette activité, un incontournable
You can enjoy horseback riding while taking in the stunning views of the beach in Haleiwa. Each horse is well-trained and responds perfectly to commands. The view from atop the horse is fantastic. The instructor was cheerful and always attentive. It was also a nice touch that they provided photos taken during the ride. However, the time for exploring Haleiwa was short, and it was a bit disappointing that we only had enough time to eat.
ハレイワの海辺の絶景を眺めながら乗馬ができます。どの馬も慣れていて、きちんと指示通りに動いてくれます。馬上からの眺めは最高です。インストラクターの方は陽気で常に気をつかってくれました。道中撮った写真を配信してくれるのも嬉しいサービスです。ただ、ハレイワ散策の時間は短く、食事するだけでいっぱいなのはちょっと残念でした。
Since horseback riding is just a slow walk, advanced riders might find it unsatisfying.
乗馬はゆっくり歩くだけなので、上級者は物足りないかもしれません。
このたびはアイランドマカナツアーズのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。乗馬をお楽しみいただけたようで何よりです。どうしても乗馬の後のハレイワ散策はお時間が短くなってしまいます。弊社ではハレイワタウンに3時間滞在する「ノースショアたっぷりハレイワタウン」もございますので、次回はそちらもご検討下さい。またハワイでお会いできるのを楽しみにしております!
It's cold due to the wind and water, so make sure to bring extra towels and warm clothing like a hoodie. The boat will sway in the rough northern waves until you reach the spot, which is fun like a roller coaster, but… I did feel a bit seasick.
There are a lot of sharks in front of the cage, so you can see them from above. From inside the cage… it's a bit underwhelming. You can see them if you try hard enough, but it might not be suitable for girls or children.
You get tossed around by the waves and the cage, so it’s cold and painful. I think it’s fun, though!
風、水で寒いので、タオル多め、パーカーなど防寒着は必ず。
スポットに着くまでに船がノースの荒波に揺られるので、ジェットコースターみたいに楽しいけれど…やはり半分は酔ってました。
ケージの前にサメがたくさんいるので上から見れます。
ケージの中からは…微妙。
頑張れば見れるけど、女の子、子供とかは不向きかも。
波とケージに体をぶつけられるので、寒い、痛い。
楽しいのは楽しいと思う。
I get seasick.
It's cold, so wear warm clothing.
You can see sharks better at the aquarium.
船酔いはします。
寒いので防寒着を。
サメは水族館の方が見れる。
Thank you for the review and I am sorry that mother nature threw in some choppy conditions that day. Hopefully, we will see you on your next Hawaiian adventure during better conditions.
All of our kids loved it here, they had smiles on their faces all days thanks to the PCC staff!
The day is a very busy one, be prepared for a lot of activities, it is almost hard to hit everything in a day but the ticket does allow you to come back for the day touring!
On top of the ATV part, I enjoyed learning more about the land and local agriculture.
Absolutely amazing dive. Felt very safe. Would definitely do it again
One tour had five different activities mixed together, which caused the return time to be delayed by one hour.
I think it's better to stop the practice of forcing tips with signs.
I would like the horseback riding staff to be positioned at the front and back of the line, not just one person at the front.
ひとつのツアーで5組のそれぞれ別のアクティビティが混ざったツアーになっていた為、戻り時間が1時間遅れになった
チップを強制する貼紙はやめたほうがいいと思う
乗馬スタッフは前一名でなく隊列の前後に付けてほしい
The horseback riding experience along the coast was truly beautiful with stunning scenery.
海沿いの乗馬体験自体はとても風光明媚な景色で素晴らかつた

このたびはアイランドマカナツアーズのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。当日はご迷惑をおかけしました。通常、このような事はございません。
車内の貼り紙についてですが、お客様から「どのくらい払えばいいのかわからない」というご意見が多かった為、目安として貼らせていただいております。

貴重なご意見、ありがとうございました。
It says it starts at five but the activity start maybe an hour earlier but still give yourself some time to go to the waterfall for about three hours and an hour to get ready there
Get there early
A LOT OF ACTIVS PICKUP AND DROPOFF TO CENTER . THE BUFFET WAS VERY GOOD,
Just an overall fun experience. From learning about the different cultures to the games and activities to the amazing food! Everything was planned and every worker was helpful and polite. I highly recommend doing the full day event and using it as one of your full vacation days. It was a very long day, but it was well worth it and the food buffet was like nothing I had ever seen before. The best part was the luau completely captivating and well done.
The one-hour course was just enough. All the staff were very nice, and we had a great time. The scenery was also amazing! My 10-year-old son was very satisfied as well.
1時間コースで十分でした。
スタッフもみんな感じがよくとても楽しめました。
景色も最高でした!
10歳の息子もとても満足していました。
Riding a gentle horse and strolling along the beach created the best memories. At first, I was anxious, but they carefully taught me the tips for riding.
優しい馬に乗り、海辺を散策できて、最高の思い出になりました。
最初は不安でしたが、乗り方のコツも丁寧に教えてくれます。
Even small children can enjoy it.
小さいお子さんでも楽しめます。
Swimming with sharks was an experience I honestly couldn't imagine at all, and I felt a bit anxious about it. However, after being introduced to it by a friend, I decided to take the plunge and give it a try.
I was really nervous right up until the moment I entered the water, but once I was in the ocean, I found that the sharks swam gracefully and calmly. Being able to swim alongside them and see them up close turned out to be a very enjoyable experience.
The speed at which they swam was not as fast as I had expected, and I was able to swim right above them. While it was thrilling, the sense of awe I felt was much greater than any fear, making it an unforgettable time.
The tour was conducted in English only, but the staff occasionally spoke to us in Japanese, which made me feel more at ease. Additionally, I had heard from friends who participated in other tours that they had trouble receiving their photos, but in this tour, the photos were sent immediately after we arrived at the port, making the process very smooth. (There were no issues even with an Android phone.)
サメと一緒に泳ぐという体験は、正直なところまったく想像がつかず、少し不安もありましたが、友達に紹介してもらったことをきっかけに思い切って挑戦しました。
直前までとてもドキドキしていましたが、いざ海に入ってみると、サメはとても悠々と落ち着いて泳いでいて、その姿を間近で見ながら一緒に泳ぐことができ、とても楽しい体験となりました。
泳ぐスピードも思っていたほど速くなく、サメのすぐ上を並んで泳ぐこともできました。迫力はありつつも、怖さよりも感動の方が大きく、忘れられない時間になりました。
ツアーは英語のみでしたが、スタッフの方が時折日本語を交えながら話しかけてくださり、安心して参加することができました。
また、他のツアーに参加した友達からは、写真の送付がなかなか届かないといったトラブルを聞いていましたが、このツアーでは港に到着後すぐに写真を送信してくださり、とてもスムーズでした。(携帯の機種がAndroidでも問題ありませんでした。)
I recommend taking motion sickness medication. Also, since it's not a very large ship, I think it's best to keep your luggage compact.
酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。
またあまり大きな船ではないので、荷物はコンパクトにしておくのがよいと思います。
Accessing the location was a bit challenging from Waikiki by rental car, but the horseback riding time was very long, and I was satisfied! The scenery was magnificent and beautiful. The horses were very smart, and the staff was kind. At the end, you can feed the horses a little. I gave a tip at that time!
アクセスはワイキキからはレンタカーで少し大変でしたが、乗馬時間はとても長い時間あるし、満足出来ました!とにかく景色が雄大で美しいです。馬たちはとても賢く、スタッフも親切でした。最後に馬に餌を少しあげられます。その時にチップを渡しました!
Attaching a strap to my smartphone and hanging it around my neck gave me peace of mind, allowing me to take photos and videos comfortably.
スマホにストラップをつけて首から下げると安心して、写真や動画が撮れました。
We purchased two tickets, after reaching were asked to pay for some mandatory fees for the face mask for 8$ each. So just be aware of that extra cost. Also, I would not recommend purchasing Pictures options for 40$ as it’s waste of money and they don’t take that good images. You will have ample opportunity to take your own pictures , so no need to waste those 49$ for poor quality images.
Be careful about sending pictures to people as you guys share everyone a pictures to each member!
