I had my first horseback riding experience in my life! Tofi was free-spirited and almost strayed from the line, but it was so much fun. I want to do it again somewhere!
人生で初めての乗馬体験をしました!トフィちゃん自由奔放で列から外れかけちゃうけどめっちゃ楽しかったです。またどこかでしたいなあ〜

I had fun hiking to the waterfall and going swimming but the water was freeeezing!! I felt like the first time I did this activity we had a lot more time. I was able to snorkel, eat, stand up paddle and walk the town. This time I felt like going to the nut farm wasted a lot of time to do the activities. That part should be taken out and the time should go towards the actual activities. But all in all is was fun.

I participated alone, but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. If possible, I would like an additional 30 minutes for free exploration of the town.
The main horseback riding experience has an excellent location, and the higher price compared to other companies results in greater satisfaction.
自分だけ一人参加でしたが、ほとんど気兼ねはいりませんでした。
出来れば町並みの自由散策があと30分欲しいです。
メインの乗馬はロケーションが抜群で、他社より高い分満足度が高いです。

I eat pineapple ice cream at Dole and shop at my usual store in Haleiwa. It's quite challenging to go alone, so this is very helpful. I can easily bring back a lot of shopping to Waikiki, which is convenient.
ドールでパイナップルアイスを食べて、ハレイワのいつものお店で買い物をします。
個人で行くにはけっこう大変なので、とても助かっています。

It was my first time horseback riding, and I had a lot of fun! However, the North Shore was quite short, and including the meal, my stay was only about 30 minutes, so I couldn't see much at all. I would like to come back to the North Shore and take my time to explore it properly.
乗馬ははじめてでしたが、とても楽しくできました!ノースショアがかなり短く、ご飯も含めて滞在時間が30分くらいで、ほとんど何も見れませんでした。ノースショアは改めてゆっくり来たいと思います。

Since I participated in the Thanksgiving Day tour, it was disappointing that most of the shops in Haleiwa and the garlic shrimp food stalls were closed, and I couldn't visit the places I wanted to. However, I switched my mindset and decided to try again next time, and we set off for horseback riding.
The horse I rode was a bit of a troublemaker, and during the tour, when other horses approached, it suddenly took off running and raised its front legs towards them. I almost got thrown off, but the staff quickly intervened, so it ended well, although I was a bit flustered.
The guide who drove and guided us throughout the day was very nice, and he explained things clearly and humorously at each location, which made the participants feel relaxed. He really wanted us to see sea turtles, so we stopped at several spots, and we were able to see five sea turtles up close at the last location. It was a packed and very enjoyable tour that truly made me feel the essence of Hawaii.
サンクスギビングデーのツアー参加でしたので、ハレイワのショップとガーリックシュリンプ屋台のほとんどが閉まっており、行きたいお店に訪問できなかった事は残念でしたが、次回またチャレンジしようと気持ちを切り替え、乗馬へ出発。
私の乗った馬は少し暴れん坊で、ツアー中に他の馬が近づいて来たら、急に走りだし前足をあげてその馬に向かって行きました。振り落とされそうになりましたが、直ぐにスタッフが制圧してくれたので事なきを得ましたが、少し焦りました。
一日、運転と案内をしてをしてくれたガイドさんがとても良い方で、各所での説明もわかりやすくユーモラスに話してくれて、参加者も和みました。海亀を何とか私達に見せてあげたいとの事で複数のスポットに立ち寄り、見事に最後の所で5匹もの海亀を間近で見る事ができました。盛りだくさんでとても楽しくハワイを感じられるツアーでした。

We chose this horseback riding experience because it has no age restrictions, and we have a 9-year-old child. The bus was full since it was the final stop, but the driver’s friendly approach created a pleasant atmosphere.
We stopped at Dole Plantation, which was a short visit, but we had enough time to enjoy it. At the beach, we even encountered wild sea turtles, and in the meantime, they made a reservation for garlic shrimp, making it easy to enjoy with kids. The tour price was reasonable.
The horseback riding experience was well-explained, and they encouraged us to bond with the horses, which made it a reassuring experience. Depending on the horse, it seems like a great activity for a wide age range. I hope to bring my parents, who are in their 60s, someday. By the way, the restrooms were clean and stylish, even though they were in a container.
Along the way, the instructor took photos and provided explanations about the beach, allowing us to enjoy horseback riding while feeling the pleasant breeze throughout the experience.
On the way back, they mentioned that the route might change depending on traffic conditions, and we were lucky to take a different route than we came, which allowed us to see various landscapes.
親子で9歳の子がいるので年齢制限クリアのこちらの乗馬体験にしました。
お迎えが最終地だったのでバスは満席。でもドライバーさんの声かけでみんな和やかな雰囲気。
立ち寄りのドールプランテーション、時間は短時間ですが充分楽しめました。
海辺では野生の海ガメにも出会え、その間にガーリックシュリンプの予約もしてくれて子供連れには負担なく楽しめました。ツアー料金に納得いきます。
乗馬は説明も細かく、お馬さんと仲良くなれるよう声もかけてくれて安心して体験できました。お馬さんにもよりますが年齢幅広く体験できるいいものだなと。いつか60代の両親もつれてきてあげたいです。どうでもいいですがトイレがきれいでした。コンテナなのにおしゃれな内装。
途中インストラクターさんが写真撮影もしてくれるし、ビーチの説明もしてくれるので終始ここちいい風をあびながら乗馬できました。
帰り道は渋滞状況に応じてルート変更があるとのことで、この時は来た道ではないルートを通ってくれていろんな景色を見ることができラッキーでした。

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。

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。

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!

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。
Thank you for participating. We look forward to your next visit. Please be sure to try the canyon course.
ご参加ありがとうございました。
次回のご利用お待ちしております。是非渓谷コースにトライして下さい。

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。

I participated in a tour that allowed my mother, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, to enjoy the streets of Haleiwa, garlic shrimp, horseback riding, and more all at once. Our guide, Masa, shared interesting stories, and the comfortable car ride made it a delightful experience for both my mother and my elementary school-aged nieces. I was worried because previous reviews mentioned that there wasn't enough time for lunch, but our guide took our request for garlic shrimp in advance and made a reservation, so we were able to enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace. If I could be a bit greedy, I would have loved to explore Haleiwa for another 15 minutes.
ハワイ初来訪の母にハレイワの街並みやガーリックシュリンプ、乗馬などを一度に楽しめるツアーを探して今回参加しました。
ガイドのマサさんのお話も興味深く、楽チンな車での移動で母も小学生の姪っ子達も大満喫してくれました。
以前の口コミでは「ランチを食べる時間が少ない」とあったので心配していましたが、事前にガイドさんがガーリックシュリンプのリクエストを聞いて予約してくれたので、ゆっくり食べることが出来ました。贅沢を言えば、あと15分くらいハレイワ散策出来たらうれしいです。

The explanation provided by the Japanese guide was very helpful. Since it was my first time visiting Haleiwa, I appreciated learning about the sightseeing points and riding precautions in advance. The sightseeing information shared during the shuttle ride was also very informative, with many things I had not known before. The horseback riding itself was enjoyable, and my children (ages 6 and 8) were able to ride independently and said they had a lot of fun. The 6-year-old was being led by a rope at the front, which made it reassuring as the horse did not stray to the side.
日本人ガイドの方の事前の説明がとても参考になりました。
ハレイワ観光も初めてだったので短時間での観光のポイントや、乗馬での注意点もあらかじめ教えてもらえてよかったです。

Fourth time horseback riding in the canyon✨
I participated again without hesitation. It's a mother-daughter trip✨
"Fourth Tour Highlights"
① The horses are still adorable
② The ranch owner, Mark, is as kind as ever.
③ KOJI is attentive as always
④ Haleiwa Town is still charming
⑤ I got to eat garlic shrimp.
Long sleeves and long pants are a must (something you can throw away)
Take photos with your phone!
We will stop by Dole Plantation. I always think it's unnecessary, but we need to take a restroom break.
Heading to Haleiwa Town. We have 30 minutes to stay. Take photos with angel wings, and then off to horseback riding in the canyon…
★ Please make sure to listen to the guide's horseback riding instructions★
Even though it was my fourth time, I got distracted by the cuteness of the horses and became careless when getting on.
If you follow the instructions, there’s absolutely no problem for beginners.
Riding the horses into the canyon✨ You can ride in Japan, but nothing compares to climbing up and down the canyon and getting a panoramic view of Waimea.
On the way back, we went to Haleiwa Town again… ate garlic shrimp, bought vintage coffee, and saw some turtles at Alii Beach before heading back✨
I think the trip to Hawaii is expensive, and the tours are pricey, but it's worth it.
Thank you!
渓谷乗馬4回目✨
懲りずにまた参加しました。母娘の二人旅です✨
「4回目のツアーポイント」
①お馬さんが相変わらず可愛い
②牧場のオーナー「マークさん」相変わらず優しい。
③KOJIさんがきめ細やか
④ハレイワタウンが相変わらず魅力的
⑤ガーリックシュリンプが食べられた。
長袖、長ズボンは必須(捨てても良いもの)
写真は携帯で!
Doleプランテーションに立ち寄ります。毎度要らないと思いますがトイレ休憩する必要があります。
ハレイワタウンへ向かいます。滞在時間30分です。天使の羽で写真をとり、渓谷乗馬へ…
★ガイドさんの乗馬に関する注意事項は必ず聞いて下さい★
4回目、聞いてたにも関わらず馬の可愛さに気を取られて乗るとき適当になってしまいました。
注意事項を守れば初心者でも全く問題ありません。
いざ、お馬さんに乗り渓谷へ✨日本でも乗馬は出来ますが一緒に渓谷を登り下りてワイメアを一望できるのは比になりません。
帰り再びハレイワタウンへ…ガーリックシュリンプを食べて、ヴィンテージコーヒーを購入してアリイビーチで亀さんを少し見て帰ってきました✨
ハワイ旅行自体金額が高いしツアーも高いですが価値があるものと私は思います。

Kazu-san, a Japanese guide, joyfully showed us various attractions in Honolulu from the car window from the start of our trip. After a restroom break at the Dole Plantation, we enjoyed delicious, plump garlic shrimp at Giovanni's Shrimp Truck in Haleiwa, which Kazu-san had reserved for us. After that, we went shopping at Happy Haleiwa and the Snoopy Surf Shop in Haleiwa. Kazu-san kindly explained how to ride a horse during our travels, so there were no issues with the English instructions for horseback riding. Twelve of us rode in a line through the woods and along the beach. We were able to enjoy horseback riding while being blown by the pleasant sea breeze and taking in the beautiful coastline. On the way back, we drove along the east coast to avoid traffic. We passed by Kualoa Ranch and took a coffee break at a Kona coffee farm. In the city, we were specially taken through Chinatown, Downtown, and Kaka'ako, allowing us to enjoy the sights from the car window. Thank you, Kazu-san! I would love to enjoy horseback riding in Hawaii again.

My stay in Haleiwa was short due to the weekend crowds, traffic, and construction, but I was able to enjoy garlic shrimp and do some quick shopping, and horseback riding was truly amazing! I want to go again. I received explanations in Japanese from our guide, Kaz, about how to ride and the names and personalities of the horses, so even as a beginner, I was able to comfortably see many turtles swimming from horseback. On the way back, we avoided traffic by returning via the Kualoa area, allowing us to see the magnificent scenery and landmarks, and we also stopped by a macadamia nut farm. Kaz introduced us to downtown Waikiki, murals, and Ala Moana Beach from the car window, providing great value for the price. Kaz, our guide, was very accommodating to my elderly father, who has difficulty walking, and I found him to be much more polite and kind than other reviews suggested. For those who want to leisurely enjoy exploring Haleiwa, I recommend avoiding crowded days and opting for a tour focused solely on the town.
土日の混雑と渋滞、工事の都合でハレイワの滞在は短かったですが、ガーリックシュリンプを食べてササッと買い物もできたし、乗馬は本当に最高でした!また行きたいです。ガイドのカズさんから日本語で乗り方の説明と馬の名前・性格も聞いていたので初心者でも余裕で馬上からカメが泳ぐ姿がたくさん見れました。帰りは渋滞を避けた分、クアロア方面から帰ってくれたので、雄大な景色や名所を見たり、マカダミアナッツファームにも寄れ、ワイキキでダウンタウンや壁画、アラモアナビーチも車窓からですが紹介してもらい、お値段以上の満足度でした。ガイドのカズさんは高齢で足の悪い父にも色々と融通してくれ、他の方の評価よりも全然丁寧で親切な方だと思いました。ハレイワ散策をゆっくり満喫したい方は混雑する曜日を避け、街だけのツアーをお勧めします。

The explanations on-site were in English, but it wasn't too difficult, and the people were friendly, making for an enjoyable time. There were also others who brought their own horses and some who were swimming in the sea. Since it was by the seaside, there were no risky areas like mountain paths where you might fall off, and with fewer weeds along the road, we could ride smoothly while enjoying the sea breeze.
各国で初心者乗馬を体験していますが、海辺のコースということで、こちらを選びました。行き帰りは、日本語ドライバーさんが、通り道の案内込みで移動させてくれます。現地では、英語での説明ですが、それほど苦労なく、フランクな方々で、楽しく過ごせました。ここでは、他にマイホースを連れてきていたり、海水浴をしている方々もいました。海辺ということで、山道のような落馬しそうな個所もなく、道端の草も少ないため道草も少なく、海風に吹かれながら、颯爽?と乗馬ができました。

This is our 2nd time on the surf bus. Cousin Kevin was great! He catered to all families. Gave us great info on what to look at and eat. I like this tour because I can relax and enjoy rather than driving and having to find parking, buy tickets, and do all the work that I usually have to do!

I had some experience with horseback riding in Japan (it usually lasts about 10 minutes depending on the price), but here I was able to ride for a longer time (about 40 minutes) and basically guided the horse myself, which was fun (^O^). The horse was really smart, so even my second grader was fine! Additionally, we were able to go sightseeing in the town of Haleiwa along the way (this part was mixed with horseback riding and included a meal, so it was quite rushed at about 1 hour (^o^;), but there was also a separate course just for sightseeing). We also had a great encounter with sea turtles, which you can see with high probability!!!
乗馬は日本でも経験は有りましたが(料金によるけど大体10分未満位?)、それよりもっと長い時間乗馬(約40分)出来、基本的には自分でお馬さん誘導して楽しい(^O^)。お馬は凄く賢いのでうちの小2の子供でも大丈夫でした!。また、途中でハレイワの町観光にも行けました(こっちは乗馬とミックスすると食事込みで約1時間だったから凄く駆け足(^o^;)、別コースで観光のみも有りました)また、高確率て遭遇出来る海亀にもしっかり出会えました!!!

The guide talked a lot about Hawaii while we were in the car! The horseback riding was wonderful; I was a bit scared at first, but my horse was very gentle and walked slowly ahead. The staff chooses each horse based on compatibility with the rider. Some horses seemed to be struggling because they just wanted to eat grass! Riding while looking at the ocean is something you can't experience in Japan, so I definitely recommend trying it!
車の中でガイドさんがハワイのこと色々と話してくれました!
乗馬もすばらしく、最初は怖かったですがとてもいい子でゆっくり前に続き歩いてくれました!担当のかたが馬との相性を見ながらそれぞれの馬を決めてくれます。中には草ばかり食べてしまい、大変そうな馬もいました!
海を見ながらの乗馬は日本では体験できないのでぜひ経験してもらいたいです!

I'm glad I was able to get various local information. Thank you very much. I went to Giovanni for the garlic shrimp, and it was delicious.
いろんな現地情報も含めておしえてもらって良かったです。
ありがとうございました。
ガーリックシュリンプはジョバンニにいきましたがおいしかったです。

We participated as a family of five. It was our first time horseback riding, but we enjoyed a slow walk along the coast on horseback and even spotted some sea turtles swimming occasionally. The horses were very gentle and cute, and everyone became a fan of horses. Although we had limited time, we were able to stop by places like Dole Plantation and Haleiwa, making for a very fulfilling day. Our guide, Kaz, was easy to understand. Thank you very much.
家族5人で参加しました。乗馬は初めてでしたが馬に乗って海岸沿いをゆっくり歩き時々海ガメが泳いでいるのも見られました。馬達もとてもおとなしく可愛くて全員馬ファンになりました。ドールプランテーションやハレイワなど時間は少しでしたが立ち寄る事ができとても充実した1日を過ごせました。
ガイドのカズさんの話もわかりやすかったです。ありがとうございました。
Thank you for participating. It was lucky to see a sea turtle while horseback riding. We hope you will join us again next time.
ご参加ありがとうございます。
乗馬中に海亀が見られたとは、ラッキーでしたね。
次回も是非ご利用下さい。

My mother and I signed up for a seaside horseback riding course. It was our first horseback riding experience, but the local staff kindly helped us with how to ride and stop. Riding while looking at the sea was truly a wonderful feeling.
Unfortunately, after arriving at the Dole Plantation, which was supposed to be just a quick stop, we were told by the tour guide that there was a mistake and they had forgotten to bring their license, which would take time to retrieve from the office. As a result, our stay was extended by over an hour. Since this is a common spot for other tours, I had been there before and ended up with nothing to do, feeling quite bored. Additionally, the tour guide's attitude was lacking sincerity, saying things like, "This is quite rare, you know," which honestly made me feel anxious about whether it was safe to follow this person.
The horseback riding itself was a lovely experience, so next time I participate, I would prefer to join a different tour company if there is an option.
母と娘の親子二名で海辺乗馬コースを申し込みました。初めての乗馬体験でしたが乗り方、止まり方等現地のスタッフが親切に対応して下さり、何といっても海を見ながらの乗馬はとても気持ちの良いものでした。
残念だったのは、立ち寄り程度だった筈のドールプランテーションに到着した後、ツアーガイドのミスでライセンスを携帯し忘れたとのことで事務所へ取りに戻るのに時間がかかると言われ、結果滞在時間が1時間以上延びた事です。他のツアーでも定番のスポットなので以前も立ち寄ったことがあり、やることが無く時間を持て余しました。また、それに対するツアーガイドの態度も「こんな事稀なんですけどね~」といった誠意に欠けるもので正直「この人について行って大丈夫なのか?」と不安に感じました。
乗馬自体はとても素敵な経験となりましたので、次回参加する時は別の催行会社での企画があればそちらに参加したいと思います。
I apologize for any inconvenience caused regarding our matter despite your participation. I'm glad to hear that you were satisfied with the main horseback riding experience.
ご参加にも関わらず、当係りの件ではご迷惑をかけ申し訳ございませんでした。
メインの乗馬は満足されたようで良かったです。

I think I could have enjoyed the tour more if the guide had been better. As others have mentioned, it was disappointing to have Kaz as our guide.
① Dole Plantation
I arrived 10 minutes before opening. This meant that the actual time I had to enjoy Dole Plantation was only 20 minutes, which was unsatisfactory. I quenched my thirst with very delicious pineapple juice and browsed for souvenirs. I wished I had a bit more time to explore the garden.
② Strolling through Haleiwa Town on the North Shore and having brunch with garlic shrimp
I ate at a Japanese-owned restaurant recommended by the guide. (It was emphasized multiple times that they opened early for this tour.) Perhaps because of that, while it was tasty, it was lighter than I expected. Personally, I would have liked a bit more punch. (I think enjoying local flavors is one of the joys of traveling.) The careful preparation of the shells and the shrimp's digestive tract left a good impression. Strolling through the colorful streets was fun, but again, excluding meal time, the stay was only about 30 minutes! There isn't much time to leisurely check out interesting shops, so it might be good to set a purpose in advance.
③ The horseback riding by the seaside, which I was looking forward to the most!!!
All the horses were cute and smart, and it was truly healing. They are well-trained, so I think beginners can experience it with confidence. I wanted to spend more time interacting with the horses!
④ On the way back, I saw sea turtles from the car window.
⑤ We stopped in Haleiwa to pick up participants from other courses and for a restroom break, which concluded the tour.
While the places visited and experiences were excellent, I realized that the presence of the guide significantly changed my level of satisfaction.
This time, the guide, Kaz, was basically high-handed and had a scary tone. Listening to his interactions with other participants, he treated them in a condescending manner, which made those around him uncomfortable.
The information he provided about Hawaii's history and buildings during the journey was interesting, but his unique way of speaking combined with issues with the audio microphone made it hard to absorb.
Additionally, he was very strict about the meeting times. I understand it was to avoid traffic, but it felt more like he was rushing participants to avoid affecting his own working hours rather than for the sake of the participants or to keep the tour schedule.
ガイドさんが良ければもっとツアーを楽しめたと思う。
他の方も書いてますが、カズさんに当たり残念でした。
①ドールプランテーション
オープンの10分前に到着。
ということで、ドールプランテーション内を楽しめる実質滞在時間はたったの20分。これは不満。
とても美味しいパイナップルジュースで喉を潤し、お土産を物色。
もうちょっとガーデンを散策する時間が欲しかった。
②ノースショアハレイワ・タウンにて街並み散策とガーリックシュリンプでブランチ
ガイドさんが勧める日本人経営の店で食べる。
(このツアーのために早い時間から開けてもらっていると何度も強調されました)
そのためか、美味しいのだが思ったよりもあっさりしている。
個人的にはもう少しパンチが欲しかったかな。
(せっかくならローカルの味を楽しむのも旅の醍醐味だと思うため)
殻と背ワタが丁寧に処理されているのは好印象です。
カラフルな街並みを散策するのは楽しいが、ここでも食事時間を除くと滞在時間が30分あるかないか!?
気になるお店をゆっくり見ている暇はないので、事前に目的を定めておくといいかもしれません。
③一番楽しみにしていた海辺での乗馬!!!
どの馬も可愛くてかしこくて、本当に癒されました。
よく調教されているので初心者の方でも安心して体験できると思います。
もっと長い時間馬と触れ合っていたかった!
④帰路につく途中、車窓からウミガメを見る
⑤他コースの方をピックアップ&トイレ休憩のためハレイワに寄り終了
訪問先・体験内容は申し分ないのですが、ガイドさんの存在ですごく満足度が変わってくることを実感しました。
今回のガイド、カズさんは基本的に高圧的で口調がコワイです。
他の参加者さんとのやり取りを聞いていても、バカにしたようなあしらうような対応をされていて、周りが不快に思う。
道中教えてくださるハワイの歴史や建物案内等は興味深い内容なのですが、独特なしゃべり方と音声マイクの不具合が相まって、入ってこない。
そして、集合時間にはすごく厳しくせっつかれます。
渋滞を避けるためなのはわかりますが、「参加者のため」「ツアー予定時刻を守るため」というよりも、ガイドさんご自身の勤務時間に影響のないよう、参加者を急かしているような印象を持ちました。
