Last time, we participated in a horseback riding tour in the forest with my child, and we were very satisfied. This time, during the horseback riding experience by the beach, we enjoyed riding while gazing at the beautiful sea. We created another wonderful memory. Before the experience, we leisurely enjoyed a garlic shrimp bento for lunch and took a little stroll around the town of Haleiwa, making for a very fulfilling day. I would love to participate in this tour again.

前回は親子で森の中を乗馬するツアーに参加せて頂きましたが、その時も大満足
でしたが、今回は海辺での乗馬体験のツアーでは、綺麗な海を眺めながら、乗馬を楽しむ事が出来ました。
また最高の思い出が出来ました。体験の前にはランチでガーリックシュリンプのお弁当をのんびり食べたり、ハレイワの町を少し散策したり、とっても充実した内容でした。またこのツアーに参加させて頂きたいと思います。

My 15 year daughter wanted to ride a horse for the first time in Hawaii on the beach. Our experience here was fantastic! Our tour guide was patient and very willing to teach her how to ride. The scenery was beautiful!! I would highly recommend this trip!

Haleiwa doesn't offer much in terms of shopping or sightseeing, so without activities, there's not much to do. That's why our guide, who also drove, took us to Turtle Bay. I think the free time plan is for those who want to relax a bit.

ハレイワはショッピングや観光で時間は潰れないので、アクティビティなしだと何もやることがないです。それで、案内と運転の兼任の方がタートルベイまで連れて行ってくださいました。
フリータイムプランはちょっとのんびりしたい方向けだと思います。

Food was good. Luau could have been better. Very friendly staff.

This was my second time on the Gunstock. This time, it was a sunset horseback riding tour in the evening. The course was the same as usual, but thanks to the beautiful weather, we enjoyed stunning views of the sea and the sunset. It was truly moving. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to run more, as we mostly walked at a steady pace. That was the only disappointment.

２度目のガンストック。今回はサンセット乗馬ということで夕方のツアーです。
コースは通常のと同じでしたが、天気に恵まれたおかげで美しい海と夕日。
感動でした。
欲を言えばもっと走りたかったなあ。基本ずっと並足だったので。
そこだけが残念。

This was a waste of money. The only thing that Veltra did was make the reservation for the luau and the show. We arrived at the Polynesian cultural center expecting a tour. After a phone call, we realized we was on our own. We could have done it by ourselves.

We had a wonderful time there and very enjoy!!! Our tourguide and driver are very humor! Btw, the bus they provide was very great and comfortable!

Choosing the day before the Honolulu Marathon turned out to be a great decision, as there were only the two of us participating that day, which felt like a real bonus!
As we passed through the sandy beach and bushes, our guide, the cowgirl, provided continuous guidance.
Even though my English isn't that great, she spoke slowly enough that I could communicate fairly well.
I was able to enjoy a leisurely ride without getting my clothes dirty from dust.
Depending on the season, you can also see seals and sea turtles.
The cowgirl spotted a sea turtle, but I couldn't see it ^^;

あえてホノルルマラソンの前日を選んだのが良かったのか、当日参加者は私たち二人だけで、すごく得した気分♪
砂浜やブッシュの間を通り抜けながら、ガイドのカウガールがずーっとガイドしてくれます。
英語がそれほど得意ではない私でも、けっこうコミュニケーションが取れるぐらいゆっくり喋ってくれました。
土ぼこりで服が汚れることもなく、のんびりとライディングが楽しめました。
季節によって、アザラシや海亀も見られるようですよ。
カウガールは海亀を見つけましたが、私は見えませんでした^^;

The shark tank was a blast! The crew was fun, professional, lots of energy, they made the experience worthwhile. They made us a video, totally worth the extra $, explained everything extremely well. I was a little unsure as we entered the cage but once we got in and saw all the sharks no fear, just fun. We saw many sharks, they were curious swimming around the cage, they didn't try to ram it or anything crazy. Just a great morning swimming with the sharks! This is a must!!

This was way better than I was expecting. The tour guide Morgan was a wealth of knowledge and even though she had probably ridden the route a thousand times was enthusiastic and talkative. She gave interesting facts about the area and was a great source of information about the island and local places to visit.

I recommend this tour for anyone (even men). I was apprehensive about going as when I showed up with my girlfriend I was the only guy going riding, but it was great and perfect for a beginner horse rider like myself.

The trail is a nice mix of beach and country. A great way to get up close and personal with the hawaiian landscape.

I would recommend this to everyone who is considering it.

“HA Breathe of Life” is the best luau on the island of Oahu. The dinner packages are fantastic you cannot go wrong with either dinner package. Polynesian Cultural Center is a fabulous place to learn about the different cultures that make up Polynesia. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone; you will have a great time.

I had a really fun day riding the pineapple train and exploring the town of Haleiwa. The Japanese guide was very entertaining and kept us engaged throughout the ride. They also took us to a recommended garlic shrimp place and to some special spots, which made me very satisfied.

パイナップル列車に乗ったりハレイワの町を散策したり、本当に楽しい一日でした。
日本人のガイドさんがお話の楽しい方で車内ではずっと楽しませて下さいました。
ハレイワのガイドさんオススメのガーリックシュリンプ屋さんにも連れて行った下さったり、とっておきのスポットに連れて行って下さったり、大満足でした。

Horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch is great, but I wanted to try a long ride along the coast! Our family of six participated. Unfortunately, it was rainy, but the staff were friendly and smiling, even though they could hardly speak Japanese. They also took care to cover the saddles with waterproof covers right up until we mounted, which made the whole family very satisfied. Everyone hopes for a chance to ride on a sunny day next time! What stood out the most was how the staff treated the horses like family, and they took great care of them, looking very happy themselves. I sincerely hope they continue this in the future.

クアロアランチなどの乗馬もいいけどロングで海沿いコースの乗馬をしてみたい！とファミリー6人で参加しました。生憎の雨模様でしたが、スタッフの方々の笑顔や日本語はほとんど話せないけれど、とてもフレンドリーでした。また、鞍などにも騎乗直前まで水濡れ防止のカバーをかけてくれる心遣いもあり家族も大満足。今度は快晴の乗馬を期待したいと皆リベンジを希望！！一番感じたのは、スタッフの方々が馬を家族として接しているし馬の手入れもしっかり出来ていてなによりとても幸せそうでした。是非、今後も続けてほしいと願っています。

We had a great time. This is well worth every penny it costs. We saw and learned so many great things. The luau was great, food was delicious. The Breath of Life play was the best I've ever seen, so high energy. If I ever get back to Hawaii again would definately do this again.

This was an awesome tour. The driver was local and gave lots of information about the area...what it used to be and what it is now. Many changes in 45 years. There was plenty of free time to explore. That was the best!

Harry is a great guide with plenty of energy, he will make sure you have a good time and show you some of the best places to hang out. You can lay on the beach and chill out of take part in a host of activities.

This year, we went horseback riding again at my daughter's request. Since this was the only place where we could enjoy the seaside, we chartered a car and went for the first time. It was very pleasant, and the wonderful environment and scenery were the epitome of luxury. There is no shuttle service, so it can be inconvenient for those who don't drive, but I think it's worth chartering a ride to experience the vast nature, and I highly recommend it. Since they don't speak Japanese, just smile!

娘の希望で今年も乗馬。海辺を満喫できるのはこちらしか無かったので、車をチャーターして初めて行きました。とても気持ちよく、素晴らしい環境と景色は贅沢の極みでした～。送迎も無いので、運転しない方には不便ば場所ではありますが、チャーターして出向く価値のある広大な自然に大満足されると思いますのでお勧めです。日本語が通じないので、そこば笑顔で！

Too fast - need to slow down and spend more time on each area

I participated with my daughter. It was my first experience riding a horse, and I was nervous and excited, but it was fun. The guide was very attentive and made us laugh.

娘と参加しました。馬に乗るのは初体験でハラハラどきどきでしたが　楽しかったです。
ガイドさんが　とてもきめ細やかに案内してくれて
笑わせてもくれました。　

I was considering going to Kualoa for horseback riding, but I ended up choosing this option because it included visits to places I wanted to see, like Moanalua Gardens, Dole, and the North Shore, and I was able to see sea turtles as well. The famous garlic shrimp was also incredibly delicious. I highly recommend this for those who want to do both sightseeing and horseback riding in a limited amount of time; I’m really glad I chose this option. (The main horseback riding along the coast was, of course, amazing!)

乗馬が目的だったのでクアロアにするか悩みましたが、モアナルアガーデン、ドール、ノースショアと行ってみたい所がセットになっていて、しかもちゃんとウミガメも見れました。名物のガーリックシュリンプもすごく美味しかった。時間がない中で観光も乗馬もしたい方はお勧めですね、こちらを選んで本当によかったです。（メインの乗馬は海沿いでもちろん最高！）

The "Surf Bus" Rocked my world, got timed out and lost my heartfelt compliments. I can't rewrite my praises. It does not do justice. Going to try:
Sam was an amazing guide, the playing, eating, and listening on the North Shore, my taste of heaven. Just visualize; Sea Turtles, tidal pools and an eye to eye with an Eagle Ray, food to die for, and 1000 reasons to keep coming back. An awesome "build your own burger". Surprise yourself and go for it! Not a sit and stare tour, unless your waiting for a set, or focused on sea turtles. You still get to do your driving. Came back exhausted and completed. 50 years in and now I figure out happy. Better late than never.
Mesmerized by the bright smiles, and sense of community that emerged as we talked through our day. 20 people, 5 countries and a bevy of dialects. It was right Kraky, but no worries mate.
@Sam, the Tiki was truly over that rainbow.
Mahalo nui loa!!!

I had a very enjoyable tour with an interesting Japanese guide. I might not repeat it, but I recommend it!

面白い日本人ガイドに巡り合い、非常に楽しいツアーを過ごせました。
リピートはしないかもしれませんが、おすすめですよ

I had a great experience!
During the bus drive to PCC there is a tour guide who is really good on entertaining the crowd while giving important information about Hawaii culture. As you arrive there you are greeted by the employees while checking-in.
After lunch (i've purchased a nice BBQ buffet) I started my tour, the guide was very friendly and took us to each village and we had the chance to participate of many cultural activities.
If you were not able to see all the presentations, don't worry, you can have a small demonstration of each Village during the Canoe Pageant.
If you have time, please check the Hawaiian Journey Theater, you will watch a beautiful movie about Hawaii. I was impressed by the size of the theater. There's also a Tram Tour around Laie town and you can visit the Temple.
By 5pm it starts the Dinner Luau. There is a lot of different options, and they were all delicious! After dinner there's the beautiful show "Ha: Breath of Life". It's a wonderful production!

If you want to see sharks up close, this is the place to be. Up on the North shore, wich in my opinion is the nicest part of the island. My brother and I had a great time. I still can't believe how big the sharks were. Crew was great !

We chose this place to learn about polynesian culture, place is adorable, great people around, nice dinner and fantastic show at the end of the day. We recommend it.have fun!

The cultural center and night show were awesome. The luau was amazing! Very memorable experience!

it was a greats experience. At a certain point you have to realize that you have real sharks around you. This is something that I will definitely try again at my next visit in the area? be aware that the sea is not all the time calm and waves can bring you a different experience... Gravel could be mandatory
A must to do... Great

I participated after being recommended by an acquaintance I met before, and it was a lot of fun. Also, there are many places to stop by from Waikiki to here, so if you're going by rental car, you can enjoy a full day.

前に行った知り合いに勧められて参加しましたが、とても楽しかったです。又、ワイキキからここまでは立ち寄る所も多くレンタカーで行かれるなら一日満喫できます。

Loved loved loved it. Had a great day and the beach is beautiful there. The sunset was amazing

What an amazing outdoor experience! This hike is a must do if you'd like to get a better understanding of the hidden nature Hawaii has to offer. Our guides, Keola and Marcella, shared a wealth of knowledge and gave us an unforgettable and valuable tour of the forested region of Oahu. Some parts of the trail are strenuous, so be prepared with some good hiking shoes/boots and plenty of water. We also had the opportunity to taste the fruit the trail had to offer, simply delicious. I highly recommend trying this hike if you plan on visiting the North Shore.
