All Reviews for Family & Accessible Travel

During the journey there, the driver guided us through various things in the area, and I was happy to learn interesting facts while saying, "Oh, really?" and "Wow!" The horseback riding experience was refreshing and enjoyable. The local staff were also wonderful people. If I could wish for something, I would have liked a little more time to explore Haleiwa Town, even if it meant a slightly later return time. Perhaps it was to avoid traffic? Maybe just a little bit of a tease is just right? It makes me want to go back again.

行きの道中ではドライバーさんが周辺のあれこれをガイドしてくださり、ふむふむ、へ～そうなんだぁ！と豆知識を教わりながら進むことができ嬉しかったです。乗馬も爽やかに気持ちよく体験できました。現地スタッフさんも素敵な方達でした。欲を言えば、解散時間がもう少し遅くなっても構わないのでハレイワタウンでの散策時間がもう少し長ければなぁ～なんて思いました。渋滞対策かな？「もの足りない位」がちょうどいいのかな？また行きたくなるからね。

Ziplining at Climb Works was the greatest experience ever. My friend and I are scared of heights but we felt very safe and had a lot of fun. Our guides Jackie, Reece and Aio were super kind and made us laugh the entire time we were there. They lightened the mood and helped me forget about how high up I was. Even after we finished ziplining my friend and I could not stop talking about the experience and the fun we had on our time during this activity. I really recommend going to Climb Works if you are interested in going ziplining. You will definitely not regret going! I definitely cannot wait to go again!!!

this was my first visit to oahu and the i had booked an introductory tour. it was a perfect start. our tour guide was really lovely with a good sense of humour . he was also knowledgeable about the local history and little areas of interest being a local interest.
there were lots of visits to some beautiful beaches and enough time at the waimea botanical gardens to go for a wander. the lunch was delicious. topped at the end a visit to the dole plantation.
i wish we had more time at the plantation to actually go out on the train to be amongst the growing pineapples which would have added to the experience

We had an incredible guide for the whole day. The extra cost was worth being able to see most of PCC in a day with lots of information about each area! We had no stress as the guide got us around the park in a very well planned fashion. Even with the PCC app we would not have done all that we did if we were on our own without a guide.

I participated in Shark Watch for the first time. The staff were kind, and I had a very enjoyable time. The sharks don't come towards the cage, so it wasn't too scary to see them.

はじめてシャークウォッチに参加しました。
スタッフの方々も優しく、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
サメは、ゲージ自体に向かってくることもないので、そこまでの怖さもなくサメを見ることができます。

We went as a group of three, and the horses were incredibly gentle! It was my second time riding, but I was worried because my two friends were riding for the first time and none of us spoke English. However, there was no need for concern at all. The number of participants was just right, and the staff were neither too close nor too distant.

The course was not artificial; we crossed sandy beaches and rivers. The sunset we saw when we got used to the horses was truly beautiful and the best part of the experience.

The riding distance was just right, making it an excellent horseback riding experience.

I had been wanting to go horseback riding in Hawaii. Initially, I planned to go to Kualoa, but it seemed that the tours there had a lot of free time (waiting) during the scheduled hours, and I didn't want to be bored, so I quickly changed my plans and found this place instead. In the end, it was a great decision to change.

I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sea turtles, which they said you have a high chance of encountering, but the garlic shrimp I had in Haleiwa was very delicious, and I was able to shop at Patagonia as well. It would have been even better if I had more time, but for now, I was satisfied.

At first, I was a bit nervous about horseback riding, but the horses were used to it, so they all lined up nicely and walked leisurely, making it enjoyable even for a first-timer like me. I wanted to take a video, but I had to give up since I couldn't let go of the reins. However, others were taking pictures. I think photos from the horse's back would be a rare capture.

The coastal route was truly amazing, with beautiful scenery that felt very Hawaiian and refreshing. While the lush greens of Kualoa's nature are beautiful, I thought the blue of Hawaii's ocean was even better. I would love to repeat this experience if I have the chance again.

ハワイで乗馬をしたいと思っていました。
はじめはクアロアに行くつもりでしたが、クアロアのツアーは拘束時間内のフリータイム（待機）が多いようで、持て余すのが嫌だったため急きょ予定変更、他にないかと探して見つけたのがこちらでした。
結果、変更して大正解でした。
高い確率で遭遇できるとのことだった海亀を見ることができず残念でしたが、ハレイワで食べたガーリックシュリンプはとてもおいしかったし、パタゴニアで買い物もできました。
もっと時間に余裕があったら尚良かったですが、とりあえず満足でした。
乗馬は、最初は少しビビってしまいましたが、慣れている馬達なので、みんなお利口に1列になってのんびりと歩いてくれて、初めての私にも楽しめました。
ムービーを撮りたかったのですが、さすがに手綱から手が離せなかったため断念しましたが、他の方は撮っていました。馬の上からのビューなんて貴重な写真だと思います。
海沿いを歩くコースも景色が本当に最高で、ハワイらしく、気持ち良かったです。
クアロアの大自然のグリーンもきれいでしょうが、ハワイの海のブルーの方が良かったと思いました。
また機会があったらリピートしたいです。

All the staff members were friendly, even though they didn't speak Japanese, and I was able to have a really enjoyable time.

It was a best choice to select the above ticket. My hubby was called to come to the main stage during the program. Unforgettable memories !!!

This time, I wanted to try going to North Shore, and I was considering adding various options, but it was the right choice to stick to sightseeing only. I had plenty of time for shopping and enjoyed tasting food from various shops little by little. I recommend it for those who want to relax in one place!

今回はノースシュアに行ってみたくて、いろいろなオプションも付けようかと迷いましたが、観光のみにして正解でした。時間までたっぷり買い物、ご飯も食べ歩きのようにいろんな店でちょっとずつ堪能することもできました。一つの場所でゆっくりしたい方にはオススメです！

Very interactive - they do a wonderful job of showing you how things were done back then. You get to help cook some foods (I wish we could have eaten) and get a good look at how they lived! Cousin Billy was funny and very informative, even during our ride from Waikiki to Waimea Valley. The food and drinks did not disappoint either! After dinner the entertainment is second to none - they put on one heck of a show!

We booked VIP and loved sitting up close, but there is not a bad seat in the pavilion.

Our only complaint is that the Toa Luau ruined our other Luau. We attended Toa on Monday and then went to Diamond Head Luau on Thursday and it wasn't even close!!!

Thank you Toa Luau for one of our most memorable experiences while in Hawaii!!

We had so much fun, our tour guides really made the experience fun with their humor. Would definitely go back next time were in Hawaii.

Thank you for your assistance this time.
I suddenly decided to book a tour just two days later. I appreciate how kindly you responded to my last-minute request.
Everyone in our group was a beginner at horseback riding, and we had an 11-year-old child and a 73-year-old mother with us, so I was a bit anxious. However, they explained how to ride in detail beforehand, and surprisingly, it went quite smoothly! It was incredibly fun.
Above all, our guide, Kazuchan, was very kind! Thank you very much!
I will definitely book an optional tour with you again next time.

この度はお世話になりました。
急に思い立ち、2日後のツアーを申し込みました。その後こちらの無理な依頼にも親切に対応して下さって感謝しています。
全員乗馬は初心者で、11歳の子供と73歳になる母もいましたので少し不安はありましたが、乗り方も事前に詳しく教えてくれましたので、案外スムーズに乗れました！最高に楽しかったです。
何よりガイドのかずちゃんさんがとても親切でした！ありがとうございました！
また次回もこちらの方でオプショナルツアーを申し込みます。

The driver's explanation was easy to understand, and I had a fun horseback riding experience! It was a very fulfilling day. Thank you very much. Next time, I would like to participate in the canyon tour! Places I visited:
* Coffee Farm
* Dole
* Alii Beach
* Haleiwa Town free time
* Beach horseback riding
* Nut Farm

ドライバーさんの説明もわかりやすく
楽しい乗馬の時間を過ごせました！
とても充実した1日でした。
ありがとうございました。
今度は、溪谷ツアーに参加してみたいです！

I saw about 10 sharks really close up. It was more thrilling than I expected, and it was amazing.
The worst part was the seasickness. The boat on the way there rocked so much that it felt extreme, like waves you wouldn't normally encounter in Japan. We forgot, but taking motion sickness medication is a must. Even with it, the experience might still make you feel nauseous.

サメは、すごく近くに10匹程度みえます。思っていた以上の迫力で、最高でした。
最悪なのは、船酔い。特に行きの船は、これでもかってくらい、揺れます。日本では、まず出向しないくらいの波です。私たちは、忘れてしまいましたが、酔い止め必須です。あっても、あれは、酔うかもしれないレベルです。

I have experienced horseback riding three times. Of those, two times were at the Kualoa Ranch. Riding through the mountains and grasslands felt great, but I really wanted to ride along the beach in Hawaii. This time, none of the owners (the representatives) spoke Japanese. Just before we started, there was a severe thunderstorm, and they communicated with us using a translation app on their smartphones to decide whether to cancel or not, keeping an eye on the situation until the time came. When the rain eased up a bit, we began our ride. Once we started walking, we were greeted with a stunning blue sky. Our wet horses and our clothes dried completely, and we were able to enjoy a leisurely ride. By the way, there is no shuttle service, so we rented a car to get there. As everyone mentioned, the entrance is a bit hard to find.

乗馬は3回体験済み
その内、2回はクアロアランチの牧場内での乗馬
山の中や草原の乗馬も気持ち良かったけれど、やっぱりハワイはビーチ沿いをライドしたくて
今回はこちらで、オーナーさん(代表の方)？達は皆さん日本語が話せる方が誰も居なく
そして、直前まで雷雨が凄く中止にするかどうかをスマホの翻訳アプリを駆使しながらやりとりをしてくれて
時間まで様子見
雨が少し収まってきたところで乗馬開始
歩き始めたら見事なほどの青空
ビショビショだったお馬さんと私達の服もすっかり乾いてのんびりと乗馬をする事が出来ました。
因みに、送迎は無いので私達はレンタカーを借りて行きました。皆さん書いていたように入り口は少し分かりづらいです

The horseback riding experience was very enjoyable. Since I was a beginner, I thought the duration was just right. Additionally, because of the horseback riding experience, I feel that if I had a bit more time, I could have enjoyed shopping in Haleiwa even more. Thank you very much.

乗馬体験は、大変楽しかったです。初心者でしたので時間もちょうどよいと思いました。なお、乗馬体験があったため、ハレイワの町散策は、もう少し時間があれば、よりショッピングを楽しめたか思います。ありがとうございました。

We did the Alii Luau dinner and standard show package and had such a great time! We were entertained the whole time while we ate and the food was amazing! The Ha: Breath of Life show was very well done and I loved the amount of fire dancers that they had. There are plenty of shops, places to grab food and things to see there to where you can really make a whole day out of it! It was overall a really cool experience.

Last year, I participated in a tour with VELTRA during my trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, and it was so great that I decided to book again this time. At the request of my friend who accompanied me, we chose horseback riding. Since I had already experienced horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, we opted for the beach horseback riding this time. I was told that beach horseback riding is recommended during this season as it is less affected by the weather compared to valley riding. On the way there, it started to rain, which made me worry, but while we were outside, we didn't need to use umbrellas and were able to fully enjoy the horseback riding. We even got to see sea turtles. Unlike the horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch, there isn't a place to store your belongings, so it's recommended to carry a bag for valuables that you can take with you while riding. When using a tour again, I will definitely use VELTRA.

昨年のハワイ島旅行の時にもVELTRAさんのツアーに参加し、とても良かったので、今回も申し込みさせて頂きました。
同行した友人のリクエストで乗馬を選択、クアロアランチ乗馬は経験済みだったので、こちらの海辺乗馬にしました。
この季節は渓谷乗馬より海辺乗馬が天候に左右されづらくお勧めとのこと。行きの車の中では雨が降ってきて心配しましたが、外に出ている間は傘をさすこともなく、乗馬も満喫できました。
ウミガメにも会うことができました。
クアロアランチの乗馬と違って、荷物を預けるところがないので、貴重品バッグは乗馬しながら持てるものがお勧めです。
ツアー利用の際には、またVELTRAさんを利用させて頂きます。

I made a reservation for the horseback riding experience at 5 PM the night before, and there were no issues at all! I apologize for the significant delay in our arrival due to traffic. Fortunately, it seems there were no other participants besides us, and the guide welcomed us with a smile. (They greeted us without any sign of displeasure.) Thank you.

It was my first horseback riding experience, and the horses were well-trained, making it safe for beginners to ride. The guide kept the conversation going, and we had a great time chatting and enjoying the scenery throughout the ride.

You can bring your phone, so you can take photos along the way!

Thank you for the wonderful time! ^ ^

１７時の乗馬体験を前日の深夜に予約しましたが何の問題もありませんでした！
また、渋滞にはまり大幅に到着時間が遅れ本当にご迷惑をおかけしました。
幸い私たち以外の参加者はいなかったようで、ガイドさんが笑顔で受付をしてくれました。
（嫌な顔一つせずに迎え入れてくれましたm(_ _)m）
ありがとう。

初めて乗馬体験をしましたが、初心者でも安心して乗れるように調教されており、安心して馬に乗ることができました。
ずっとガイドさんが話題を振ってくれて、終始楽しくおしゃべりしながら、また景色を見ながら楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

携帯の持ち込みは可能なので、道中写真を撮ることが出来ます！

楽しい時間をありがとうございました^ ^

I got caught in a huge traffic jam, but it turned out to be a satisfying tour. I felt that it would have been nice if we had about 30 more minutes at the Dole Plantation and Haleiwa Town. Although I couldn't see any sea turtles at Alii Beach, I was glad to encounter one during the horseback riding experience. Perhaps because of the heavy traffic? The horseback riding was a private experience for my husband and me, which was really lucky. The horses were calm, so I felt safe riding them, and the time flew by. If I have the chance, I would like to join this tour again.

大渋滞に巻き込まれましたが満足なツアーとなりました。
ドールプランテーションやハレイワタウンはあと30分くらいずつ時間が長ければ嬉しいなと感じました。
アリービーチではウミガメを見ることは出来ませんでしたが、乗馬体験時にウミガメと遭遇することが出来て良かったです。
大渋滞のおかげか？乗馬体験は夫婦で貸し切り状態で凄くラッキーでした。
馬も大人しくて安心して乗れたし、あとっと言う間の時間でした。
また機会があればこのツアーに参加したいです。

In September, I participated with my family of three. I thought the sun would be strong during the day, so I made a reservation to match the sunset time. Before the horseback riding, the staff provides an explanation in English, but I think you can understand the atmosphere of the conversation just by watching their gestures. This time, there was one female staff member accompanying the three of us and one foreign woman, and we leisurely progressed along the coast and grassy areas. As I had heard, the horse would stop and eat grass along the way, but I think that, including those moments, it’s an activity you can enjoy and laugh about. Listening to the quiet sound of the waves, we were able to spend a pleasant time in a relaxed mood. Since it is away from Waikiki, I recommend this program if you have some flexibility in your schedule.

9月に家族3人で参加しました。日中は日差しが強いと思い、サンセットの時間に合わせて申し込みました。乗馬前にスタッフから英語で説明がありますが、ゼスチャーを見れば、話の雰囲気で何とか理解できると思います。今回は私たち3人と外人女性1名に女性スタッフが1名付いて、のんびりと海岸や草地を進む感じでした。聞いていた通り、途中で、馬が止まったり、草を食べたりしますが、それも含めて、笑って楽しめるアクティビティだと思います。静かな波の音を聞きながら、ゆったりした気分で、気持ちいい時間を過ごすことができました。ワイキキからは離れているので、スケジュールに余裕のある場合、お勧めのプログラムです。

This excursion exceeded our expectations! The crew was personally and knowledgeable about sharks and the ocean sea life. We had plenty of time in the water with the sharks because of the small group. We also saw a huge pod of dolphins 40-60 jumping out of the water traveling out to our final destination. We felt like they were putting on a show just for us. Important to note we never felt in danger while observing the sharks in the cage. Our guides were professional and patient with the timid swimmers. It was a bucket-list check off for us. We recommend an underwater camera or waterproof pouch for your iPhone. Don’t miss these amazing moments with the sharks. We will back! We highly recommend this excursion! Thanks for an incredible experience!!

We had an absolutely fantastic time. It rained the entire day and never put a damper on any of the festivities. Our luau dinner was delicious. One of the best activities we participated in on our recent vacation to Oahu. Each of the villages not only provided us with information and a look into the culture from a variety of islands but they also provided activities for us which were fun an interesting . If I ever return to Hawaii I will go to the Polynesian Cultural Center for the full day experience including the luau.

We were jostled on a shuttle bus from Oahu to the North Shore! The shuttle was filled with members who would zipline with us, and we were the only Japanese people. After arriving, we weighed ourselves and got equipped, and then off we went!

We took a buggy to the zipline location, which was a lot of fun (laughs). The staff were all full of humor and had wonderful smiles. Due to my weight, I got stuck halfway on the zipline, and while I was panicking about what to do, they swiftly appeared to help me. I was out of breath since I stopped at one-third of the way, but it was really cool, like a ninja! A must-see!! (laughs)

There was also a female staff member who helped me. Working women are wonderful!

The vast nature stretched as far as the eye could see, with the ocean in view and the sound of gentle waves in the distance. I was able to spend a lovely half-day.

オアフ島から送迎バスで揺られてノースショアへ！
送迎バスには一緒にジップラインをするメンバーが乗っていて日本人は私たちだけでした。
到着後体重を図り装備をしていざ！
ジップラインの場所まではバギーに乗っていくのですが、これがまた楽しい（笑）
スタッフはユーモアたっぷりな方たちばかりで笑顔が素敵です。
体重のせいかジップラインの途中で止まってしまい、どうしようと焦っていたところ、さっそうと現れ助けてくれました。
１／３の場所で止まってしまったため、さすがに息を切らしていましたが、さ忍者みたいでかっこよかったです！必見です！！（笑）

スタッフに女性の方もいたのですが、その方にも助けていただきました。
働く女性は素敵です！

見渡す限り広大な自然で、海も見え、遠くからさざ波が聞こえてきます。
素敵な半日を過ごすことができました。

I was searching for horseback riding experiences and was drawn to this plan because it offered a walk by the seaside. I was able to get there without getting lost using the rental car's navigation system. The local staff spoke only English, but there were Japanese instructions for horseback riding, and they also demonstrated with gestures, so even my elementary school-aged child could understand. It was a very sunny day, but the sea breeze was refreshing and felt great. While walking along the coast, I was told to look for sea turtles, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any. The horses were very well-behaved, walking slowly in a line. It was about an hour and a half walk; since I wasn't used to it, my backside got a little sore towards the end, but it was definitely a satisfying experience. I would love to repeat it if I have the chance again.

乗馬体験で検索していたところ、海辺を散歩できるというところに惹かれ、こちらのプランに参加しました。レンタカーのナビで迷わず行けました。現地のお姉さんは英語オンリーですが、日本語の乗馬の注意書きがあったり、デモンストレーションも身振り手振りしてくれたりしたので、小学生の子供でも理解できました。とても日差しの強い日でしたが、海辺の風はさわやかで気持ちが良かったです。海岸を歩いているとき、ウミガメを探してみて！と言われましたが、残念ながら見ることはできませんでした。馬たちはとてもおりこうさんで、一列に並んでゆっくり歩いてくれました。1時間半ほどのお散歩、慣れていないので最後はちょっとお尻が痛くなりましたが、十分満足できる内容でした。また機会があったらリピートしたいです。

The weather was great.
I participated during winter break last year.
It felt like rice planting.
After all, it's summer vacation.
Our guide, Kaz, is on his third time.
He takes good care of us and is the best.

天気も最高。
去年は冬休みに参加。
田植えみたいだった。
やっぱり、夏休みだね。
案内人のカズさんは三回目。
面倒見が良くて、最高です。

After a long time, I went horseback riding in Oahu. Unlike the famous Kualoa Ranch, it wasn't crowded here. If you don't need a helmet, you just need to sign a waiver. There are staff members who can speak Japanese, but since my daughter can speak English, we started the ride right away.

During the hour and a half horseback ride, we climbed hills from the 1,000-acre ranch, and the staff took photos of us with the ocean in the background. They seemed to have no commercial intent, as they took pictures with our smartphones.

Additionally, we could attach a pouch to the horse, allowing us to carry water and our smartphones, so we could freely drink water and take photos during the ride. It was a wonderful experience.

久しぶりにオワフでホースライド。
ここは、有名なクアロア牧場と違って混雑していませんでした。ヘルメット不要ならば署名すればOK。日本語が通じるスタッフはいるらしいのですが、娘も英会話ができるのでそのままライドスタート。
1時間半のホースライドでは、1,000エーカーの牧場から丘を登り、そこでスタッフが海をバックに写真を撮ってくれます。商売っ気が無いのか、こちらのスマホで撮影してくれます。
また、馬にポーチをつけられるので、水やスマホを入れてホースライド中も自由に水を飲んだり、スマホで撮影したりできてとてもいい時間を過ごせました。

We had a wonderful time! Not the typical luau where you basically eat, then watch a show. It’s very interactive, we are able to do things. Staff were so friendly and it really felt like a big family celebration. Highly recommended! Plus the free admission to the fall was breathtaking

This tour was quite an adventure, complete with beautiful views, good food, and of course an exciting ride. Ty, our guide, shared all kinds of historic and pop culture facts related to the ranch. We learned a little about the original irrigation system from the ranch's early plantation days and even got to walk the full length of an irrigation tunnel and explored a small cave. We also saw a recent Hawaii Five-0 filming location, hand fed some cows, and ate fresh tropical fruit right off the plant. Ty also let us set the pace for the ride...we chose fast and rough and he did not disappoint. A couple times I thought we were going to spin out or flip over, which is exactly what we wanted!
I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun adventure.
