All Reviews for Family & Accessible Travel

My son and I just did the 90 minute scenic tour. It was his first time and it was absolutely fantastic! The whole trail was very smooth and the view was breathtaking like no other. Our wranglers were very knowledgeable about the trail and very attentive. My son who is 8 absolutely enjoyed the ride and had no problem riding this trail. Definitely a ‘must activity’ at Gunstock Ranch!

There are individual differences, so I can't say for sure, but even someone like me who is not good with heights enjoyed it. The conversations are all in English, but the staff are all kind and teach you with gestures, making it a refreshing activity that leaves you smiling.

個人差があるので一概には言えませんが、高い所が苦手の私でも楽しめました。
会話は全て英語ですが、スタッフの方は皆親切で、ジェスチャーを交えて教えて頂けるし、スカッとして笑顔になれる新感覚のアクティビティです。

The pickup was late, and I waited for about 20 minutes. It seems there was a problem, but I would have appreciated some communication.

The half-day tour took us from one end of Oahu to the other. I didn't have high expectations based on the reviews, but it was great to visit places that you can only reach by rental car. At Hanauma Bay, we only took photos from above, but the clear blue water was beautiful. There were many people snorkeling to see the dead coral reefs. Haleiwa had a rural town atmosphere and was very photogenic, so I took a lot of pictures. We stopped at the Hawaiian Coral Factory, and I thought it would be nice to enjoy trying on some items. I also found rings for about $15 at the edge and purchased one.

At the Polynesian Cultural Center, I learned about the differences in dances from various regions and had various experiences. The hula dance show on the boat was definitely the most wonderful part.

For dinner, I upgraded to the middle class, received a fresh flower lei, and enjoyed my meal while watching the show.

時間通りに迎えが来ず、20分ほど待ちました。トラブルがあったようですが、連絡が欲しかったです。
半日観光は、オアフ島の端から端まで連れて行ってもらいました。レビューからあまり期待してませんでしたが、レンタカーをしないと巡れないようなところばかりでよかったです。ハナウマベイは上からみて写真を撮るだけでしたが、透き通った青がきれい。死んだサンゴ礁？を見るためにシュノーケルしてる人がいっぱい。ハレイワは田舎町のような雰囲気でフォトジェニックだったので、たくさん撮りました。途中でハワイアンコーラルファクトリーに寄りますが、試着を楽しめばいいかなと思いました。端っこに15ドルくらいの指輪も並んでたので購入。
ポリネシアン文化センターでは、いろんな地域のダンスの違いを知り、いろんな体験ができます。船上のフラダンスショーがやっぱり一番素敵でした。
夕飯は真ん中のクラスにアップデートし、生花のレイをかけてもらい、ショーを見ながら食べました。

The horseback riding time was quite long, and I enjoyed walking along the coast. I felt that the Dole Plantation wasn't really necessary.

乗馬の時間は結構長く、海沿いも歩いたので楽しめました。
ドールプランテーションは要らなかったかなーという感じです

I had the image of a staff member leading each horse for a walk, but instead, it was really nice to see them trotting along freely.

1人ずつ係りの人が馬を引いて散歩するイメージがありますが、それではなくパカパカとお散歩する感じがとても良かったです。

I arrived a little late to the meeting place, but it was a lot of fun. The main purpose was horseback riding, but I was also able to stroll around the town of Haleiwa (the garlic chicken was delicious). Although I didn't see any turtles due to the season, I was excited to see a seal during the horseback riding. The horses are cute and gentle, making it a great option for beginners.

待ち合わせ場所には少し遅れて迎えがきましたが、とても楽しかったです。
目的は、乗馬でしたがハレイワの街を散策出来たり（フリフリチキンが美味しかったです。）時期的にカメはお目にかかれませでしたが乗馬の時にアザラシがいてテンション上がりました。馬も可愛いし、おとなしいので初心者にもオススメです。

This was on my bucket list, and definitely worth the wait!!! If I ever get back to North Shore, I will definitely be doing this again!! The crew was awesome!! So friendly, and willing to help whether someone needed help or had a question. Mahalo!

This is the tour for people who like to be on there own once they get there. This is broken into two parts morning activity and afternoon activity. You have a fully narrated ride over to the North Shore telling you virtually everything about the island. Also all landmarks are pointed out. You arrive get snacks if needed. You are then dropped off at your first activity. The falls etc. Pk up time is set you meet back at bus and your off to bike,kayak,shop or lunch or whatever. Your pk up time is set for your hassle free ride back to waikiki. All fully narrated back. Worth every penny. AC was our guide and knew everything about the island. Was the highlight of our trip.

There were more sharks than I expected, haha. However, it was a bit disappointing that the seawater was slightly murky due to heavy rain the day before. That said, it was an issue unrelated to the tour, and since it was my first experience with the tour, it turned out to be a great experience!

予想していたよりもサメがうようよいてました笑
ただ前日まで豪雨だったので海水が若干濁り気味だったのが残念でした。
とは言ってもツアーとは関係ない問題で、ツアー自体は初めての経験だったので良い経験になりました！

It takes about two hours to get to Gunstock Ranch by taking The Bus number 55 from Ala Moana. After passing by Kualoa Ranch, you will find Gunstock Ranch further ahead. There is only a sign along the road, so I almost missed the bus stop at Kamehameha Hwy + Opp 56-155. After getting off the bus and walking down the road marked by the sign, I arrived at Gunstock Ranch, where I could hear cheerful voices from a children's swimming class.

I arrived quite a bit earlier than the check-in time, so I spent some time playing with the horses and goats. After listening to the safety instructions, I decided not to wear a helmet and signed a separate waiver form. About 30 minutes into the horseback riding, we reached a hill where we could see the surrounding scenery, and Grace and Chad, who guided us, took some photos for us. The staff were very friendly and helped my mother, who doesn't understand English at all and is inexperienced with horseback riding, feel comfortable. I had a fulfilling two hours riding along a path covered with jungle-like trees on a very friendly horse, an experience I don't usually get to enjoy. I definitely want to visit again.

アラモアナから55番のThe Busに乗ること約2時間、クアロア牧場を通り過ぎ、さらに行ったその先にGunstock Ranchがあります。道路沿いからは看板が立っているだけなので、バス停である、Kamehameha Hwy + Opp 56-155 というバス停をあわや見逃しそうに・・・　バスから降り、看板が立っている道を奥に進んでいくと、子供のスイミング教室から楽しそうな声が聞こえるGunstock Ranchにたどり着きました。
受付時間よりだいぶ早く着いてしまったので、馬やヤギと戯れながら時間を潰し、注意事項などを聞いて、私はヘルメットをかぶらないことにしたので、別途既定の用紙へサインをしました。乗馬を開始すること30分、あたりの景色を一望出来る丘の上にたどり着き、案内をしてくれたGraceとChadに写真を撮ってもらいました。とっても気さくなスタッフの方々で、英語が全くわからず乗馬にも不慣れな私の母をしっかりとリードしてくれました。ジャングルのような木々に覆われた道をとてもフレンドリーな馬と進む、普段味わえない充実した2時間を過ごすことができました。またぜひ訪れたいと思います。

It was my first time riding a horse, but the horse was very calm, and even beginners could enjoy it. The riding course along the coast had beautiful scenery, and I was very satisfied.

The only disappointing part was the guide. Although he was a Japanese person who had lived in Hawaii for a long time, he forgot our group during the hotel pickup that morning and left without us. We had to call the hotel we were staying at, and finally, he came back to pick us up. However, his apology felt insincere, and he seemed to have no bad intentions, which made us feel bad for the other tour guests who were with us. That was the only disappointing part.

乗馬は初めてでしたが、とてもおとなしく初心者でも楽しむことができました。また、乗馬コースも海沿いでとてもきれいな景色で満足でした。
ひとつだけ残念だったのが、ガイドさんです。ハワイに長く住む日本人の方でしたが、当日朝のホテルピックアップの時点で私たちのグループだけ忘れられていて、ピックアップされず先に進んでしまったそうです。泊まっていたホテルの方に電話してもらい、ようやく車に戻ってきてもらうことができました。しかし、謝り方も適当で悪気ない様子で、逆に私たち方が同乗していた他のツアー客の方に悪いと感じてしまうようでした。そこだけが残念でした。

What an incredible experience! We got to see % sharks and they continued to swarm the cage the whole time! The crew were great! Super nice, very knowledgeable and informative. Made sure we had a great experience, My 8 & 11 year old sons loved it! Perfect for the kids! It was one of the highlights of our trip!

I drove from Honolulu.
The entrance is easy to find because there are signs.

You can take a leisurely horseback ride along the beach, and the photos turned out great with the ocean as the backdrop.
This is my third time horseback riding in Hawaii, but if you want to ride by the beach, this is the best place to go!
I apologize for sharing my experience a year later. I will make a reservation next month!

ホノルルから車で行きました。
看板があるので入口は分かりやすいです。

海辺をゆっくり乗馬しながら散歩でき、写真もとってもいい感じに、海をバッグに撮っていただけました。
ハワイの乗馬いくのはここで、3こめですが海辺を乗馬したいなら一番おすすめです！
体験談一年後になりごめんなさい。来月予約します！

Did the same dive with One Ocean last year and was so impressed I had to do this again. This time, the sharks were even more curious as to our presence and came up quite close to us at 4-5 feet distance on some pass bys. Got some incredible 4K video on the footage. Sophie and Kevin were very enthusiastic about their work and Sophie’s passion for researching sharks really shows, giving everyone information about what we saw in he water with specific characteristics and personalities of certain sharks that they frequently see. Thanks again to Sophie and Kevin and see you guys for the 3rd time hopefully soon!

Finally... I was taken to a souvenir shop for black coral???

The worst!!

Everyone who participated came out empty-handed.

What was that???

You must be getting a rebate from the souvenir shop, right??

Is it the company??? Or the individual who took us there!!

As a business owner, I understand everything. (This is my advice)

I always use your company.

Next time, if there are no issues like this, I will use you again!!

最後に・・・黒サンゴ？？？のお土産屋さんに連れていかれた！！

最悪！！

参加した人が全員手ぶらで出て来ました。


あれは？？？

お土産さんからリベート頂いてますよね！！

会社か？？？連れてった個人がね！！


私は経営者だからすべてわかります。（私からのアドバイスです）

いつも貴社を使わして頂いてます。

次回は？？？こんな事がなければ使いますけどね！！

What a totally enjoyable day. Well worth it. I recommend getting the group guided tour inside the Center to save time and get a better experience.

Compared to some ranches, there are hardly any Japanese people, and if you're okay with only English, I highly recommend it! The location is North Shore, just a few minutes by car from Giovanni's. After the activities, you can enjoy sightseeing in Haleiwa and also try garlic shrimp, so definitely go for it!

某牧場と比べて、日本人はほぼいないし、英語のみでも大丈夫なら非常にオススメです！場所はノースショア、ジョバンニから車で数分です。アクティビティ後にハレイワ観光、ガーリックシュリンプも楽しめるので是非！

This is wonderful! Even though it started raining halfway through the ride, we continued and it was just amazing! I hadn’t ridden since I was a child, so I was very happy with the gentle horse they gave me.

I participated with my mother, and it was incredibly fun. The pickup location was very crowded with various departing guests, and after waiting for 20 minutes thinking the driver would arrive soon, I ended up calling and finally met the driver. It was my mistake not to notice that they were calling for me; I should have called after 10 minutes as it suggested. I ended up inconveniencing the other guests who were waiting on the bus. The driver seemed to be searching hard for me, and when we met, he greeted me with a smile, which made me very happy. Even if you're away from the pickup spot, you should immediately check if a flashy van stops, as "ZIP-LINE" is written in large letters on the vehicle. On the way, I enjoyed the coastal scenery, delicious bananas, tomatoes, and macadamia nuts that I cracked open myself. The zip line experience included climbing and descending on a rope bridge, going in various directions, and I absolutely recommend it!

母と親子参加、最高に楽しかったです。
ピックアップの場所が様々出発される方で大混雑、もうすぐ来るかと２０分経ち結局電話をかけやっとドライバーさんに会えました。
呼んでくれていたのに気づかなかった私のミス、１０分経っても来なかったら電話と書いてあるのでそうすべきでした。
バスで待たされた他の方に迷惑をかけてしまいました。
ドライバーさんは一生懸命探してくれていたようで、会った時は笑顔で迎えてくれとても嬉しかったです。
ピックアップ場所から離れていても派手なバンが止まったら即確認すべきです、車体には大きくZIP-LINEと書いてあります。
到着までも海沿いの景色を楽しみ、美味しいバナナ、トマト、自分で割って食べるマカダミアナッツ、つり橋にロープでの昇り降り、長短、後ろ向き、逆さでのジップライン体験、絶対におすすめ！！

Tori enhanced the tour with her energy and knowledge! The stop at Fumi’s was my favorite. There just happened to be several hula dancers and a musician that sang for a couple that got engaged. The shrimp was ono! The ube popsicle, too! Waimea Falls was also a treat. There was even a Farmers Market with local fruit and food. Gotta try the ice cream bananas. So good!

I always enjoyed horseback riding in the canyon, but this time I participated in beach horseback riding. The seaside views were amazing, and I was very satisfied with this experience.

Along the way, I was able to shop in the town of Haleiwa and was introduced to a different delicious garlic shrimp place, allowing for a leisurely exploration that left me very satisfied. I would love to participate again.

いつも渓谷の乗馬を楽しんでいましたが、今回は海辺乗馬に参加させて頂きました。海辺の景色は最高で、こちらも大満足でした。

途中にハレイワの街で買い物したり、ガーリックシュリンプの今までとは違う別の美味しいお店を紹介して頂いたりと自由に散策出来て大満足でした。また参加させて頂きたいと思います。

I took bus number 55 from Ala Moana Center, and it took about just under two hours to arrive. I checked the map for the bus stop where I needed to get off, and the driver helped me when I was getting off. There were two of us who experienced horseback riding; we had tried it about a year ago at Kualoa Ranch. This time, I chose Gunstock Ranch because they had a longer plan available. The horses were very easy to handle, and although there were times they didn't listen, the guide was quick to help. When we reached the top of the mountain, the view was stunning, and we were able to take commemorative photos, which made me very satisfied. I would love to experience this again if I have the chance! ☺︎︎

アラモアナセンターから55番のバスに乗り、到着までは約2時間弱程でした。降りるバス停は地図で確認しながら向かい、降りる時に運転手の方に教えてもらいました。乗馬体験をしたのは2人で、1年ほど前にクアロアランチで乗馬を体験しました。ガンストック牧場の方が時間が長いプランがあったので今回はこちらを選ばせていただきました。馬はとても扱いやすく、時々言うことを聞かない時がありましたが、ガイドの方がすぐにヘルプをしてくれました。山の頂上まで登ると、すごく景色が綺麗で、記念写真を撮ってもらえて大満足です。また機会があったら体験したいです☺︎︎

My wife and daughters (13 and 15) and I went riding at Gunstock Ranch. Booking online was a breeze, and our wrangler Kate was ready and waiting for us when we arrived. She efficiently set us up on our horses and went over basic riding skills. The horses were very healthy and well behaved. Kate took us on a 90 min ride around the ranch, stopping for a very scenic photo op at the top of the hill. The experience was wonderful, very organized and enjoyable. We will definately visit Gunstock again if we return to Oahu!

My family and I went to Gunstock Ranch for the 90 min ride. Our wrangler was Kate who was amazing! She took some time to aquaint us with our horses and determine our level of skill. Our horses were very well behaved, absolutely beautiful and healthy. Once we were all set, we headed on up the trail! Kate was very knowledgeable about the Ranch and Oahu history even though she had only been working there for 3 weeks. The ride was very peaceful and enjoyable. The view at the top was breathtaking, and Kate took a beautiful family photo for us at the top.

We would definately go back if we visit Oahu again!

This was my first trip to Hawaii with my mother, and I wanted to see various places, so I joined this tour. I found it very interesting that even in different countries within the same area, the cultures vary slightly. We had a great time with experiences like crafting, hula dancing, and meals included.

今回は母親と初めてのハワイだったこともあって、色々なところを見て見たかったので、このツアーに参加しました。
同じエリアの違う国によっても、少しずつ文化が違うことがすごく興味深かったです。物作り体験や、フラダンス、食事までついて来てとても楽しむことができました。

I had my first horseback riding experience in Hawaii, and it was a wonderful memory, especially being by the beach. The guide was kind and shared various information about Hawaii. I appreciated that we stopped at places not included in the plan. The guide also taught us the rules of horseback riding, so even as a beginner, I could enjoy it without any worries. If I have the chance again, I would love to participate.

ハワイで初めての乗馬でしかも海辺での体験でとてもよい思い出が出来ました。ガイドさんも親切で、ハワイのいろんな情報も教えて頂きました。プランにない場所も寄ってくれてよかったです。乗馬のルールやなんかもガイドさんからも教えてくれるし、初心者でも心配することなく楽しめました。また、機会があれば、参加したいです。

The experience itself was very good, but if I had to be picky, it would have been even better if there had been a "photo time" of about 5-10 minutes. It’s difficult to take pictures while riding the horse, so when we took a break on the beach, I handed my smartphone or camera to the instructor, who took some photos for me, but I couldn't get the pictures I really wanted. That was a bit disappointing.
Also, the rental helmets had a slight odor, so I think it would be a good idea to bring a portable deodorizing spray if you're concerned about that.

体験自体はとても良かったのですが、欲を言えば、「写真タイム」を5-10分程度設けて頂くとさらに良かったです。馬に乗って歩き進む途中で自分で撮るのは難しいので、ビーチで一時休んだときにインストラクターさんにスマホなりカメラなり渡せば写真を撮ってくれましたが、それだと自分好みの写真を撮れません。それだけが少し残念でした。
また、レンタルのヘルメットは若干臭いましたので、気になる方は携帯用消臭スプレーなどお持ちになると良いと思います。

AC was our guide for this tour and he was funny and full of information. The lunch at the waterfall was not the best and very limited. We heard from other people that the lunch at the burger place was very good. It started to rain right after lunch which cut short afternoon activities. AC took us to the Dole plantation to try to make up for the rain. AC really tried to make the day better for us.

The place was pretty nice and there really wasn't anything wrong. We just were too tired to see the show at the end of the night. I wish they would of had an earlier show.

The tour guide was a blast but it rained all day so it could have been better.
