Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Absolutely Amazing

Reviewed by: Callam

This was the most amazing experience. I would definitely recommend this. To start with, the pick-up and drop off provided was punctual and hassle free. The driver and guide on the bus were very informative and friendly. On arrival communication was perfect and our day went amazing. The Luau dinner was fantastic and definitely worth it adding to the day. The Night Show was the best thing we did while in Hawaii and the seats were great.
The guide we had for the day got us through all the main attractions and was absolutely amazing.
The only advice I would give is to allow extra time to return the following day (additional entry is provided) as there is just so much to see there.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Great day eating & learning

Reviewed by: Bec M Lee Olsen

My husband and i booked this tour pretty last minute and we were so happy we did!
We were staying down at Waikiki Beach and got the bus pick up service from the Marriott which was prompt and well organised. Cousin Knox was our tour leader and kept the bus entertained and informed for the hour long trip. He was funny and accommodating.
Arrived and Cousin Knox picked up all our tickets for the day to get us started. Everything was well explained and we were off with our guides for the day. The guides did so well in the torrential rain which the Centre provided us with ponchos. Some of the activities were busy when we arrived but the guides were able to take us to other areas which were very entertaining and provided us with some insights into their cultures. The luau was very good fun to enjoy whilst eating dinner. Plenty of food and drinks. Well organised tables - we were lucky to get a table in the front.
The only suggestion would be to allow more time for lunch. We arrived at the bbq lunch and unfortunately only had 25 mins to eat as had to get to the start of one of the displays. Not enough time especially since it was a pay your own lunch.
Overall a great day from start to finish where we wwere dropped off back where we were picked up.

Circle Island Sightseeing Tour & Full-Day Polynesian Cultural Center Tickets

Must see Polynesian Cultural Centre

Reviewed by: Ron

If you go to Hawaii you must see the Polynesian Cultural Centre. The last time I was here was 38 years ago. A lot has changed, but it is still a must see. The ambassador guided tour got us to each presentation at the appropriate time. There is a huge amount of information about the background of the Polynesian people. My wife and I were amazed by the Ha, Breath of Life show and we really enjoyed the prime rib and crab leg dinner.
There is no alcohol at the Polynesian Cultural Centre but one day without was probably good for us anyway.

North Shore Sunset & Daytime Horseback Riding with Ocean Views - Gunstock Ranch

An experience that you should have while visiting Hawaii

Reviewed by: brooke2006

This experience was one of a kind. To see the island from the back of a horse was truly special. At one point in the tour, you are able to see the curvature of the island on three sides, something that was remarkable to see. I highly recommend this tour!

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Cultural tour spoiled by the rain

Reviewed by: Yagman

The Polynesian Cultural Centre consists of the villages of the various people from the surrounding islands of Polynesia. Each village had a presentation which gave an insight into their culture - family and community mindedness. One of the highlights was how to make fire by "rubbing together 2 sticks of wood". There is a lot to see and do so you may not have enough time to see all of the villages. The Luau was great - food, show, drinks (no alcohol though) however we were allocated the 4pm time slot (I suspect the more expensive packages allow you to eat later). Afterwards, the night show was spectacular. Unfortunately, we chose a day where the heavens opened up and continued to rain for the whole time. On a "feel good" note, the centre was set up to employ students from the surrounding Polynesian islands so the money raised helps them fund their education.

This is a ranch I've wanted to visit for a long time. 前々から行きたかった牧場です。

Reviewed by: hahagattuso

I took the bus number 55 from Ala Moana Shopping Center at 8:30 AM, and it took almost two hours. Since I wasn't sure where to get off, I asked the driver in advance to let me know when we arrived at Gunstock Ranch. I got off after the 56-160 on Kamehameha Highway. It was written on a utility pole at stop 46. Right after getting off the bus, there was a sign for Gunstock, so I didn't get lost.

What was frightening was how cold the bus was. Even with a long-sleeved jacket and a towel as a blanket, it was still chilly... Even though I knew it would be cold and prepared for it, I still needed to be cautious. There seem to be various horseback riding courses available, but since it was a place where no Japanese was spoken at all, I participated as a beginner. Next time, I would like to join a different course.

There were no other customers, just the two of us for a little over an hour, walking through the mountains. It was a unique experience that allowed us to feel the time and air that we can't experience in Japan. The sea breeze felt very nice, and it was enjoyable.

Lima, the new female staff member, was very polite and interacted with us, even though we didn't understand English well. Please feel the vastness of the 800 acres of land.

朝8時半に55番のthe busでアラモアナショッピングセンターから出発、ほぼ2時間かかりました。
降りるバス停が定かではなかったので、ガンストック牧場に行きたいので着いたら教えて欲しいとドライバーさんに先にお願いしておきました。
カメハメハ ハイウェイ56-160の次で降ります

バスを降りると直ぐの所にガンストックの看板もあるので迷いはしないですね。
何が恐ろしかと言うと、なんせバスは寒い
長袖のヤッケにタオルを膝掛けにしても寒い…
分かっていて、装備をしていてもなので注意が必要です。
乗馬はいろいろなコースがあるみたいですが、全く日本語の通じない所なのでビギナーでの参加でしたが、次回は違うコースで参加したいと思います。
他にお客さんもなく、我々だけでの1時間ちょっと、山の中をお散歩
日本では味わえない、時間と空気を感じる事ができました。

Horseback riding in the best scenery. 最高の景色の中で乗馬

Reviewed by: accoman

This time, my 5-year-old son and I participated in a 30-minute children's experience course, while my husband and our 7- and 9-year-old daughters joined a 1-hour horseback riding experience. Everyone unanimously agreed that it was wonderful and fun! My 7-year-old daughter was deeply moved, reflecting that in Japan, at my age, they wouldn't let her ride alone for an hour. The horses were truly smart, and my daughters handled the reins like pros. My husband mentioned that riding for a full hour through the hilly pastures and mountain paths would be a great, great, great satisfaction for beginners and children.

During my 30-minute ride, I was on a big horse, not a pony. My 5-year-old son was initially surprised but was thrilled to ride the same horse as the adults. Since he is only 5, a female staff member accompanied him to lead the horse. We went up and down a small hill as well. Although my daughters and husband couldn't ride, they were able to walk alongside us during the hour-long course. It was so enjoyable that the time flew by. One thing to keep in mind is that while there are supermarkets and convenience stores on the way, it's better to bring drinks with you in advance. The restrooms were relatively clean.

It takes about an hour to drive from Waikiki with a rental car. I also recommend having lunch at Giovanni’s in Kafuku, which is near the ranch, for their garlic shrimp!

今回、30分の子供向け体験コースを5歳の息子と私で、7歳、9歳の娘達と主人が1時間の体験乗馬に参加させて頂きました。全員声をそろえて気持ち良かった~楽しかった〜!!でした。7歳の次女が、日本だったら私の歳で1人で1時間も乗してくれないよねぇとしみじみ感動して噛み締めていました。本当に賢い馬達で、娘たちの手綱さばきもいっちょ前さんに見えました。主人が言うには、上り下りもある牧草地や山道をじっくり1時間かけて乗馬するので初心者や子供達に大、大、大満足な1時間だと思うと言っていました。
私が参加した30分は、ポニーではなく、大きなお馬さんでした。5歳の息子は最初驚きましたが、大人と同じ馬に乗れる事に大喜びしていました。5歳なので、女性の方が1人ついて、馬を引いてくれます。ちょっとした坂道の上り下りもいきます。また、乗馬はできませんが、1時間コースの娘たちや主人も一緒に歩いてついてこれました。楽しくて、あっという間の時間でした。気をつける事は、行くまでにスーパーやコンビニなどありますが、事前に飲み物は持っていった方が良いと思います。トイレも比較的綺麗でした。
ワイキキからレンターカーして1時間位です。牧場の近くのKafuku(カフク)のGiovanni’s(ジョバンニ)でガーリックシュリンプでランチもお勧めですよ

Homey private stroll アットホームなプライベート散策

Reviewed by: あろは

After about 1 hour and 45 minutes on the bus from Ala Moana, I finally arrived at a peaceful ranch for a horseback riding experience. The experience started at 11:00, and check-in was at 10:30. Since it was mentioned that it was a bit of a walk from the bus stop, I took an earlier bus and arrived by 9:15.

I was surprised to arrive so early, but I was able to relax and take a nap on a bench at the ranch until 10:30. Perhaps because it was a weekday, we were the only ones there, making it a private horseback riding stroll. Since Japanese was not spoken, I did my best to communicate in English. It was okay not to wear a helmet, and I received a brief explanation before getting on the horse right away!

It was very smooth and hassle-free, which was great, but it might not be suitable for those who want a thorough safety briefing in Japanese or for first-timers.

After about 50 minutes of exploring the ranch, I was able to take photos in a spot with a great view. I was really glad it didn't rain. It was a wonderful horseback riding experience that refreshed my spirit!

アラモアナからザバスに乗って1時間45分くらい、やっとついたのどかな牧場で乗馬体験してきました。
11:00からの体験で10:30チェックイン、バス停から少し歩くとなっていたので、早めのバスに乗って行き、9:15にはついてしまいました。
早くつきすぎてビックリされてしまいましたが、10:30まで牧場のベンチでゆっくりお昼寝しできました。
平日だったからか、私たちしかいなく、プライベートな乗馬散歩になりました(^^)
日本語は通じないので、英語で頑張ってコミュニケーションとりました。ヘルメットしないでもokとのことで、本当に短時間でサラッと説明を受けてすぐ乗馬!
とてもスムーズで面倒くさくなくて良かったのですが、日本語でしっかり安全講習受けたい人や初めての人には向かないかもしれません。

50分くらい牧場内を散策して、見晴らしがいいところで写真も撮ってもらえました。
雨が降らなくて本当に良かったです(^o^)
心が洗われるステキな乗馬体験でした!

Great ride

Reviewed by: Chrissy

Had an early morning rideat 9:00am. We got three a not earthly, but played with the Sadie and the time flew by! She was such a sweetie. The guide, Grace, was very friendly and informative. The horses felt very safe and well cared for. The views were phenomenal as even though it rained a bit, it was a wonderful experience. We drove from ko orona resort and it took about 1 hour in light traffic. We let the calves,goats,sheep afterwards. It was a blast and i would definitely recommend it. As a beginner, I felt very safe and the horses behaved perfectly! There's great lunch in north shore at Ted's and we also got to watch the big waves while in town.

North Shore Sunset & Daytime Horseback Riding with Ocean Views - Gunstock Ranch

Wonderful staff, beautiful area, and well cared for horses!

Reviewed by: Danielle

This is a review by an advanced rider, 1 intermediate and 2 beginners. First the drive from the west of the island takes about an hour to an hour and a half, but it's just beautiful. Our tour was in December and scheduled for 9am as a 1 hour walking tour. We arrived a bit early due to traffic being light. When we arrived, the staff greeted us and explained that they will need to grab the horses and tack up so we could wait by the picnic tables and the bathrooms were behind us. We had no problem waiting and a sweet dog named Sadie came to play fetch with us. It started to rain a bit once the horses were ready, we hadn't brought jackets but it wasn't very cold and it ended fairly quick. The guide asked our experience and explained how to ride to all of us and then began matching horses to people. I think she did an absolutely fabulous job. The tour started and each pair went along nicely and the guide was very informative about the ranch, landscape, and area. She was very friendly. The terrain and landscapes were just beautiful. Green everywhere, big green mountains with billowing clouds draping down them. Each rider enjoyed it, the horses kept the beginners so safe, and mine listened to my light cues well. The guide told us the trails run all over the ranch, so they don't always go on the same trails, this is what makes it great to me. You don't feel like you're on just another head to tail pony ride. It felt personal, it was beautiful, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. All in all, 10 out of 10! I recommend anyone looking for a horseback riding ride in oahu to here, get the morning tour, and relax in north shore afterwards. (great food is at any food truck)

North Shore Sunset & Daytime Horseback Riding with Ocean Views - Gunstock Ranch

Quiet ride through the backwoods

Reviewed by: cwy

I went on this activity with a friend and we took the 55 bus from Waikiki to North Shore. It was a long ride (about 2.5 hours) but the bus literally runs along the shoreline so it the scenery was very nice. You can tell the bus operator that you want to get off at Gunstock Ranch and they'll holler to let you know when they've reached the appropriate stop. A note for those who are not taking a car to the ranch: It's a bit of a walk from the road! It probably took about 5-7 minutes for us to arrive at the ranch.

Because the bus was a bit late, my friend and I were late to our 10:30AM check-in time. We called ahead to let them know and they were very accommodating. The activity was scheduled for 11AM and they told us to just let them know if we were going to arrive later than 11 since our ride might have to be shortened in that case. Luckily we arrived right at 11. It took just a couple minutes to get us checked in and after a short introduction on how to make the horse go and stop, etc, we were on the horse and ready to go.

Our guide was Hannah and she was very nice and attentive. She made some conversation along the way and was quick to help us out if the horse wasn't cooperating. The rest of our group took a horseback ride along the shoreline but my friend and I chose Gunstock Ranch because my friend is allergic to UV rays. The backwood trail of Gunstock Ranch was perfect for her. It was very quiet and tranquil and you could still see the ocean from afar. For our purposes this ride was absolutely perfect.

My only gripe is that two days later, my bum still hurts! Haha.

All staff was very friendly and helpful. The Ha, Breath of life show was very entertaining. I felt that I understood the story line better because I read the playbill before the show started. The other presentations were also very entertaining and educational.

One point about the luau buffet, my girlfriend is very allergic to coconut. So I asked an employee if there was anything on the buffet that had coconut. She went back to check on a board in the back and assured me there was no coconut in any item.
My girlfriend said she tasted a little coconut in the frosting of the cake so did not finish it. She is OK, and did not have any reaction.

Great nature!! 大自然!!

Reviewed by: ナイトウ

You can feel like you are traveling in the great outdoors. The horses are smart, and I felt safe riding even as a beginner. On the course, there were cows grazing, we walked through the forest, and we could see the ocean from a high point. This was truly the essence of horseback riding in Hawaii! They also stop along the way so you can take photos.

However, the guide is a very nice person, but since they don't speak Japanese, the instructions on how to ride and handle the horse are given in English. It might be a bit difficult for those who don't understand any English...

I recommend it for those who have a car and can understand a little bit of English!

大自然の中を自分で旅しているような気分になれます。
お馬さんも賢くて初めてでも安心して乗れました。
回るコースでは牛が放牧されていたり、森の中を歩いたり、高台から海がみえたり、、
これぞハワイの乗馬!というのが堪能出来ました。
途中で止まってくれるので写真も撮れます

ただ
ガイドさんはとてもいい人ですが、
日本語が出来ないので、お馬さんの乗り方・扱い方英語で説明されます。
英語が一切分からない方は少し難しいかも…

I had a horseback riding experience with my husband. On the day we made our reservation, it was canceled due to heavy rain the day before, but we were able to quickly reschedule and go horseback riding. I had previously ridden at a different place, but this one felt more homey, and the instructor was very nice. They taught us how to ride and handle the horses in a clear and thorough manner. The course took us through the great outdoors for just under an hour. We saw some cute cows along the way. We also had a view of the ocean. Unlike the previous riding place, we were able to stop along the way for photo opportunities. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to visit this riding stable again.

主人と一緒に乗馬体験をしました。予約した日、前日は大雨でキャンセルになりましたが、直ぐに予約を取り直し乗馬をする事ができました。以前は違う所でしましたがこちらの方がアットホームで、インストラクターの方もとても良い方でした。丁寧に乗り方,馬の操り方を分かりやすく教えて下さいました。コースは大自然の中を1時間弱回りました。途中に牛がいてとても可愛かったです。海が見渡せました。以前の乗馬場ではなかった途中で止まって写真撮影もしておただけました。又ハワイに行く機会があればこちらの乗馬場に再度お邪魔したいです

I booked this horseback riding tour because my boyfriend has expressed how much he has always wanted to ride a horse. I did a quick search and Veltra had this awesome offer for a 2-for-1 which I found perfect as a surprise for him! I booked it and got confirmation very quickly.
We were coming from Honolulu so the drive took about an hour. Our booking was at 2pm and check-in was at 1:30pm. The early check-in was for the explanation of the liability and consent form while they prepared the horses. There was the two of us plus a small family of three. Helmets are recommended but not required- they are free to use. (If opt to not use a helmet, you must sign a section on the liability form) Around 10 minutes before 2pm, they explain and demonstrate how to ride and take care of our horses. We get on and begin the tour shortly after 2pm!
We got lucky with the weather! When we first arrived, it was grey, cloudy and started to drizzle. By the time we began our horse ride it turned sunny! Leanna was our guide and she is the sweetest person! We were all beginning horseback riders so we went at a good pace. She talked about the range, answered our questions, asked about ourselves, and made sure we were all comfortable and in control of our horses throughout the entire tour. The trail included uphill, downhill, and flat plains. The top view was absolutely stunning. We got to see the beautiful blue ocean in-front of us and the Ko'olau mountains behind us. Leanna even took our photos and they came out amazing. It was so serene, sunny and not too hot because there were cool breezes throughout that hour trail ride.
This is definitely an experience of a lifetime. I am so incredibly happy we got to do this! The views were breathtaking and I will be attaching photos even though the real thing is 1000 times better! We'll be doing it again the next time we get the chance. Thank you so much Leanna and Gunstock Range for a lovely time and thank you Veltra for the great offer!

North Shore Sunset & Daytime Horseback Riding with Ocean Views - Gunstock Ranch

Gunstock Ranch Horseback Riding Tour 10/17

Reviewed by: Jason Layton

My wife and I were in Hawaii for our honeymoon and wanted to venture out to the north shore of Oahu to get a taste of the landscape out there. I booked a horseback riding tour for our first full day in Oahu, and even though we had to get up early to make it out in time for our ride, it was SO worth it. Everything with the ride and staff at Gunstock ranch was perfect. Finding the ranch was easy and the signs leading to where we needed to go were so clear. We showed up a little early and our tour guide was still grooming and prepping the horses for the day, but she let us wander around and meet some of the horses. She was so kind and informative and did an amazing job leading our ride. She was patient and very clear in her instructions, and even though our ride was only 1 hour I feel like she went above and beyond to pack as much as she could into our hour ride! The service from Gunstock ranch was TOP NOTCH and I would HIGHLY recommend anybody to check it out. Even if the price seems a little high, it was so worth it and I can guarantee you will not regret making the trek out and taking a trail ride with Gunstock ranch. The location / area is so beautiful, we even saw a full and amazing rainbow the morning of our ride. If I could give this company / this ride 6 stars I would! I will definitely come back again next time we are on the island!

First Horseback Riding 初めての乗馬

Reviewed by: ホリホリ

I got a bit lost at the entrance of the ranch, but I arrived safely and waited for about 30 minutes until everyone who signed up for the tour gathered. (You can touch the horses while waiting.) Once everyone was there, the staff explained how to ride and how to hold the reins, and then we each mounted the horses with their assistance. We rode in a line along a designated course at a slow pace, so even those with no riding experience could feel comfortable. The horses seemed well-trained and followed the instructions smoothly. We rode for just under an hour against the backdrop of Hawaii's magnificent scenery, and then we returned to the starting point to say goodbye to the staff before parting ways. It feels great when the weather is nice! While I'd love to ride in light clothing, long pants and sneakers are a must. If you're concerned about sunburn, I recommend bringing a light shirt. We encountered some rain on the way, but it was sunny during the ride, and I had a lot of fun! The horses were very soothing!

牧場の入口で若干迷いましたが無事に到着し、ツアー申込した人が揃うまで時間をつぶしながら30分位待ちました。
(待っている間馬に触ったりできます。)
全員揃うとスタッフの方が乗り方、綱の引き方を説明してくれ、付き添いながら一人一人乗馬し出発。一列に並んで決まったコースをゆっくり進むので乗馬全く経験なくても安心して乗ることができました!
馬も慣れているようですんなり指示に従ってくれます。1時間弱位ハワイの壮大な景色を背景に乗馬しスタートした場所に戻ってスタッフとお別れの挨拶をして解散となります。
天気がいいととても気持ちいいです!
薄着で乗りたい所ですが長ズボンスニーカーは必須。日焼けが気になる方は薄手のシャツなどあるといいと思います。
行く途中雨に降られましたが、乗馬中は晴れていて楽しかったです!お馬さんにもいやされました!

A Day To Remember

Reviewed by: Jeanette Incognoli

Everyone was very friendly and made us feel so welcome. All staff including the bus operators were wonderful. We learned so much about the Hawaiian culture, very proud people. We visited all the villages with a tour guide, had lunch. We attended the luau and celebrated our 50th anniversary on the stage, we were presented with a lei and we danced with other couples that were also celebrating their anniversary . We went onto see their wonderful indoor show. We really had a great time.

  • Wonderful homes with a history.
