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

Great time

The tour guide was not that good, spoke in a soft voice and let the passengers talk too much so it was hard to concentrate on what she was saying.

Amazing!

Reviewed by: Melanie

I highly recommend this event, particularly as a Super Ambassador. The private tour guide and reserved seating were definitely worth the extra pennies. We partaked in lots of activities, saw all the best shows in best seats and generally had an amazing day. I can't recommend this event enough.

乗馬体験(0.5~2時間) 2歳から参加OKの子供向けコースやサンセット、貸切ランチ付きなど選べるコースで広大な牧場を満喫!<ガンストック牧場/現地集合>

It's totally fine for beginners. 初心者でも全然大丈夫です。

Reviewed by: なにわのニセパニオロ

My wife and I rode together. There was also a family of foreigners with us, including a child around elementary school age. This course doesn't involve much running, so it's fine for beginners. They take commemorative photos with a beautiful view of the sea in the background, so a camera is a must. If you have some riding experience, you can manage even if you don't understand English. It's an easy experience to have in Hawaii, so I recommend participating if you have any interest.

嫁さんと2人で乗りました。一緒に外人さんの家族も一緒でしたが、小学生くらいの子供も参加されていました。こちらのコースはほとんど走ったりはしないので初心者でも大丈夫です。
高台の景色の良いところで海をバックに記念写真を撮ってくれるので、カメラは必須です。
何度か乗馬経験があれば英語がわからなくてもなんとかなります。
ハワイで簡単に体験できるので少しでも興味があれば参加することをお勧めします。

It's fun. 楽しいです。

Reviewed by: なにわのニセパニオロ

This is my third time, and it has become a staple whenever I come to Hawaii. They let you run quite a bit through the ranch. Although I consider myself an intermediate rider, I have only ridden about seven or eight times abroad, but they still let me ride. However, since you run in some narrow areas, I wouldn't recommend it unless you are comfortable with horseback riding. You actually have to avoid branches that might hit your head while galloping, which can be dangerous, but those who are confident can enjoy it. Helmets are self-reported, so there's no need to wear one if you don't want to (you sign a waiver and take responsibility). Initially, I rode with my wife, but she said it was scary and doesn't want to ride again.

今回で3回目になりますが、ハワイに来た時の定番になっています。
牧場の中をかなり走らせてくれます。上級者となっていますが私は海外での乗馬経験が7、8回位ですが乗らせてくれます。ただし、狭いところも結構走るので乗馬に余裕がある人でないとお勧めしません。実際に駆け足の途中で頭に当たりそうな木の枝を避けたりしないといけないので危ないですが、自信のある人だと楽しめます。
ヘルメットも自己申告制ですので無理にかぶる必要もありません。(サインして自己責任です)
実際に一番最初は嫁さんと2人で乗りましたが、怖かったのでもう乗らないと言っています。

Second Gunstock! 2度目のガンストック!

Reviewed by: ペロちゃん

I visited Gunstock again this year, continuing from last year. Of course, my purpose was to ride horses and enjoy the beautiful scenery, but my main goal was to meet Donkey. He is a very gentle and friendly donkey.

This year, I brought a bag of carrots as a souvenir, and he happily munched on them.

The staff at the ranch are all very kind, and it became a wonderful memory again this year.

I promised Donkey that I would definitely come back to see him, and I left with a heavy heart. On the way back, I stopped by Kahuku and Haleiwa, returning home completely satisfied and full.

If you plan to go, it might be difficult without a rental car, but the horses are well-trained and smart, so you can enjoy your time with peace of mind.

去年に引き続き、今年もガンストックに来ました。
目的はもちろん乗馬と見晴らしの良い景色なの
ですが、1番の目的はドンキーに会いに来ました。
すごく大人しくて人懐っこいロバなんです。

今年はお土産の人参を1袋持参して
ポリポリと美味しそうに食べてくれました。

こちらの牧場のスタッフさんもとても優しい
方ばかりで今年も素敵な思い出になりました。

また、必ず会いに来るねとドンキーに約束して
名残惜しさ満開で帰路につきました。
帰りにはカフク、ハレイワを回って
お腹いっぱいの大満足で帰りました。

行かれる時はレンタカーじゃないと
難しいかもしれませんが、
良く調教された賢いお馬さん達なので
安心して楽しめます。

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

Such an awesome day :)

Reviewed by: Laura

So I bought the super ambassadors package which bode well for me, considering the 42 acre mass of land the PCC is situated on! As a wheelchair user, probably not the best thing to be doing that on my own! (However massive my biceps may become!)
Everything from the bus ride there with narration from Cousin Nox to the personalised friendly tour guide Jarom who was a fountain of knowledge and super nice guy - was an incredible experience. That's just the customer service! The site itself was beautiful, plentiful in scenic, educational and picturesque landscapes, with presentations that made you laugh, applaud stamp you feet and clap you hands!
Hands down a great tour and an incredible luau and show to end the night! I was fortunate to go backstage before the show and meet someone of the cast - what a lovely bunch! And to see them in action and knowing their complete and genuine appreciation for U.S. tourists being there, made the show even more spectular and the experience that much more worth while.
For sure, I didn't see everything, and I'd definitely go back, especially for another canoe ride! Was so amazed at the level of attention and willingness that was about when I wanted to row the canoe and participate in activities like that.#SuperAccommodating
Truly a wonderful and amazing experience I'll never forget xD

  • These guys were awesome xD

It was fun. 楽しかった

Reviewed by: うりぼう

I checked the travel time and aerial photos of the ranch on Google Maps to familiarize myself with the geography, then entered the address into the GPS of the rental car and headed there. I arrived in about an hour and a half without getting lost. I drove along the coastal road, and after entering an unpaved road marked by signs, I came to a parking area that also serves as a square on the left. On the right side of the square, there are restrooms, a handwashing area, playground equipment, and about 20 goats.

In front of the square, there is a small hut where I parked my car on the right side and handed my voucher to the person inside the hut to check in. To the left of the hut, there were about 10 horses tied up, along with free-roaming donkeys, dogs, and a rooster wandering around, which came close enough to pet while waiting for the start. I agreed to and signed the English waiver (which states that horseback riding carries risks such as falling, and the ranch is not responsible for them) and chose a helmet. The helmet has a dial at the back for size adjustment.

A man from the ranch approached me and mentioned that they take paid photos during the ride, so I signed up. It was about $40 for a set of two. I made the payment by credit card on the spot, provided my email address, and received a receipt that included a note saying, "Your photos are in the Scene C folder from 7/28. Please enter the password ◯◯ to open and download them," along with the address of the Gunstock Ranch website, where dozens of photos were uploaded later.

We were on a 90-minute course, and both my group and the other participants were families with children aged 7 to 9, totaling 8 people. Two female staff members guided us in a line at a leisurely pace. At a hill where we could see the ocean, we were able to hand over our cameras to have photos taken. After that, we returned down a small hill.

Although no Japanese was spoken, we were able to communicate with basic middle school English. The instructions for riding, turning, moving forward, and stopping were simple. The horses were calm and followed commands well, but occasionally they would stop completely, and when I was struggling, they would relieve themselves.

Also, I highly recommend wrapping a scarf around your neck, as it can get sunburned during the long ride. I couldn't help my child when they were scratching their neck from the sunburn.

After the ride, each child received a sugar cube at the hut to feed the horses, and the horses licked their palms. (There is soap and napkins available at the handwashing area.) It seemed that 90 minutes was long for the children, but it was a great experience since riding alone is not something they can do in Japan. They provided smaller horses for the kids, and there was no sense of danger.

At the end, I received a discount card for the next visit. It was a wonderful experience to leisurely stroll around the spacious ranch on horseback.

グーグルマップで所要時間と牧場の航空写真を確認して地理を頭に入れておき、レンタカーでナビに住所を入力して向かいました。1時間半位で迷うことなくたどり着けました。海岸沿いの道を進み、看板を目印に未舗装の道に入ってしばらく進むと左手に駐車場を兼ねた広場に出ます。広場の右手にはトイレ、手洗い場、遊具があり、20匹ほどのやぎ?も飼われています。
広場正面に小さな小屋がありその右手に車を止め、小屋にいる方にバウチャーを渡してチェックインしました。
小屋の左手には馬が10頭くらい繋がれていて、他に放し飼いのロバ、犬、おんどりがウロウロ、近くに来るので撫でたりして開始を待つ間に、英語表記の免責説明書(乗馬には落馬等危険が伴うこと、牧場がそれに責任を負わないこと等)に同意してサインし、ヘルメットを選びました。ヘルメットは後頭部にダイヤルがありサイズ調整できます。
牧場の男性が「有料で乗馬中の写真を撮っている」と話しかけてきたので申し込みます。二人セットで40ドル位でした。その場でクレジット決裁、メールアドレスを伝えると領収書が届き、その中に「あなたの写真は7/28のシーンCフォルダにあります。パスワード◯◯を入力して開きダウンロードしてください」と、ガンストックランチのホームページアドレスが記載されており、後日写真が数十枚アップされていました。
私達は90分コースでしたが、他の参加者も私達も7〜9才の子供がいるファミリーで総勢8名、二人の女性スタッフが前後について一列になってカポカポのんびり進みました。途中海が見える丘では自分達のカメラを渡して写真を撮ってもらえます。その後小高い丘を下って帰りました。
日本語は全く通じませんが、中学英語程度で意志疎通はできました。乗馬方法、曲がる、進む、止まる、の指示も簡単でした。馬はおとなしくよく指示に従いますが時々全く動かずゴズ困っていたら大量のおしっこをしたりうんちをしたり。
あと、長時間首筋が日に焼けるので首筋にスカーフを巻いておくことをぜひオススメします。子供が日に焼けて首を掻いていてもそばに行って助けてやれなかったので。
乗馬が終わると子供は小屋で一人ひとつ角砂糖をもらい、馬に食べさせて手のひらをペロンと舐められていました。(手洗い場に石鹸もナフキンもあります。)
子供に90分は長かったようですが、引馬でなく一人で乗る体験は日本ではできないのでよかったです。子供には小さめの馬を用意してくれたし、危険を感じることはありませんでした。
次回割引のカードを最後にもらいました。
広々とした牧場内をのんびり馬で散歩、素敵な体験でした。

1.5 hours wasn't enough!! 1.5時間じゃ足りなかった~!!

Reviewed by: sae

We participated as a family of three.
My husband had his first horseback riding experience, and my 8-year-old son rode alone for the first time.
Honestly, I thought my husband would have a nonchalant reaction like, "Well, it's for the kid's experience..."
We were even discussing going to the zoo the day before, but there were plenty of animals here (^u^).
None of the staff spoke Japanese.
They gave simple explanations and chatted, and just when we were getting ready, a wild horse appeared!!!
It was nerve-wracking to think, "Who will ride it?!" but of course, the staff member rode it (phew!).
Everyone took turns mounting the horse for photos! We got some really wonderful and cool pictures!
For a while after we set off, the photographer walked ahead to take pictures for us.
We climbed the red dirt mountains unique to Hawaii, enjoying the flowers, trees, and birds, and arrived at an amazing scenic spot!!!
In the refreshing breeze, we saw vast grasslands and the ocean.
It was the best!
On the way down, we pointed out the areas with good views, indicating quite a bit higher up the mountain.

I was worried about my 8-year-old, but since the horse was well-trained, there were no issues.
At one point, the horse seemed like it was going to run, and I panicked and stopped it, but my son actually wanted it to run...
My husband, who I was also worried about, said, "I underestimated horseback riding! It was amazing! I want to do it again!" sounding like a kid.

On the way back, we could stop by North and stroll around,
and we will definitely go to Gunstock Ranch again!
I absolutely recommend it!

家族3人で参加しました。
旦那=初乗馬、息子8歳=初一人乗り。
正直、旦那の「まあまあ、子供の経験の為にね・・・」的などうでもよかったみたいな感想が来るかと思ってました。
前日の動物園でも行こうか?なんて話してたんですが、
ここで十分な位いろんな動物がいました(^u^)
スタッフは全員日本語話せません。
簡単に説明やら雑談やらして、そろそろって時に荒馬登場!!!
「誰が乗るか?!」とドキドキでしたが、勿論スタッフさんが乗りました(ホッ!)
皆、順番で馬にまたがり写真撮影!  すご~く素敵でかっこいい写真がとれました!
出発して暫くはカメラマンも徒歩で先回りして取ってくれました。
ハワイ特有の赤土の山を、花や木や鳥を見ながら登って行き、すごい風景の場所に到着!!!
気持ちいい風の中、広がる草原、海。
最高でした!
下る途中に、景色の良かった場所はあそこら辺だって、結構山の上の方を指してました。

心配していた8歳も、しつけられた馬だったので問題なし。
途中馬が走りそうになりビビって止めたんですが、本人は走って欲しかったって・・・
こちらも心配していた旦那ですが、「乗馬舐めてた!最高だった!またやりたい!」
と子供の様な事をおっしゃってました。

帰りにノースに寄ってブラブラと出来るし、
次もガンストックランチ行きます!

I got hooked on horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch and was looking for other places to ride when I found Gunstock Ranch. I took The Bus, but there was no name at the bus stop. It was a bit of a gamble. No Japanese is spoken at the ranch. However, everyone was very friendly and responded with smiles, which was really nice!! I had a wonderful time riding through areas that made me think, "Are we really going here?!" It was a forest-like setting, and I enjoyed leisurely riding while watching cows and other horses.

We spent a week in Oahu at the end of March and visited this ranch with our 6-year-old and 4-year-old daughters. Since we had made a reservation in advance, there were no particularly complicated procedures, and we hardly needed any English, haha. The friendly female staff made the children very happy. However, considering that it takes about two hours round trip from Waikiki, the 30-minute horse ride felt a bit short... The ranch had peacocks running around and was a spacious and lovely place!

Everything was just perfect! I had the super Ambassador package with a private guide and I really felt privileged and I enjoyed the culture and traditions of the Polynesian people. Every show, every cultural event was organized with great respect and love for the Polynesian natives. I had a dip in the full life of seven similar, but very different, traditions, culminating in the wonderful final show: Ha, a breath of life! I also appreciated the fact that the Polynesian Center is carried out by students of the various islands and that our contribution is to support their studies. This is a great way to spread culture! MAHALO!

Our tour of the island was very enjoyable. Very happy to see the Pineapples growing, and the lay of the land. The guides were prompt and the guide at the Centre, was especially polite. (Congrats to them, too, for indicating they do not except tips.) We visited three villages but I've done these without a guide and on my own, saw all six villages in the time he took us to three. I know time is spent gathering people and passing out leis and explaining procedures, but this did detract from what we could experience. I would suggest that at the Center, folks are given the option to go with the guide or go on their own. The luau and HA - Breath of Life show are phenomenal!! We had half a house for the audience and I was so impressed with the quality of singing and dancing, of the performers, that I started the standing ovation. Those students really deserve our appreciation!!

As we trailed he would give us some history on the names of the cities surrounding the ranch, the different boarding houses for the various horses on the land and we saw roaming cattle and goats. A few roosters and chicken also. The girls really enjoyed themselves on the trail being surrounded by nature here. As we rode uphill and finally reached our camp, you smelled the campfire and saw a breath taking view of the ocean. The sight is amazing! The meal was strip steak, tempura shrimp, rice and mac salad. It was so delicious! And you roasted your own marshmallows for s'mores! As we rode down toward the valley, again you could see the elevation and beautiful land surrounding this huge ranch. This was our second sunset ride@ Gunstock and we will be returning again.

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

Go for PCC, not the Island Tour

Reviewed by: JDJones

The PCC, dinner, luau, and show were fantastic. The Island Tour itself was the sad part. Our driver was late and then we had to rush through all the sites, having barely time for a picture or look before having to reload.

I had a wonderful time at the spacious ranch in the North, swaying gently on horseback in the pleasant breeze! The blue sky, white clouds, green grass, deep green forests, blue ocean, and the dazzling sunlight created a vivid landscape that not only left a lasting impression but also provided an incredible sense of freedom, refreshing my spirit.

Although the staff spoke only English, they were friendly and spoke slowly and kindly to us, even though we are not very proficient in English. Wrapped in a warm atmosphere, I had a very enjoyable and relaxing time, so I highly recommend it! 😊

 ノースの広~い牧場、心地良い風に吹かれて、のんびりと馬の背に揺られてきました!!
空の青色、白い雲、牧草のみどり色、森の深緑色、海の水色、眩しい太陽の日差し、鮮やかな景色が目に焼きつくだけでなく、抜群の解放感で精神的にリフレッシュでき、ホント良かったです。
 言葉は英語のみですが、あまり英語が得意でない日本人の私達にフレンドリー且つ、ゆっくり優しく話してくれ、スタッフの方はアットホームで親切でした。
 ほんわかオーラに包まれ、非常に楽しくリラックスした時間を過ごせますので、ぜひお勧めです。^^

  • 集合場所付近、ここから馬に乗ります。

  • きちんと調教されたお馬さんで安心でした。

  • とってもイイ!見とれる景色がいっぱい。

All-Inclusive Oahu Island Tour with Lunch & Waimea Valley Waterfall Nature Walk

Great Oahu Tour

Reviewed by: LJB

This Circle Island tour was terrific. Our guide, Dai Mar, was very knowledgeable about Oahu, the islands in general, and the places we visited. We saw the North Shore and spent time at the Banzai Pipeline, we visited Waimea Falls after a nice stroll/hike with lots of info about the area and the flora/fauna, we ate at Fumi's Shrimp Truck, and we stopped at a Macadamia farm/shop. It was fun, relaxed, and I learned a lot, plus the views were fantastic!
