North Shore
There are 8 zip lines in total: 1 for practice and 7 for activities. They are much higher and longer than those in Japan. There are also rope climbing and suspension bridge crossing, which require quite a bit of physical strength. They pay great attention to safety, and there are plenty of water stations. However, the instructors only speak English, so a certain level of English proficiency is necessary.
練習用1本,アクティビティ用7本,計8本のジップライン.日本国内のものよりはるかに高く,長いものが多いです.
ロープクライムや吊り橋渡りなどもあり,かなり体力が必要.
安全にはとても配慮してくれるし,給水ポイントも豊富.
ただし,インストラクターは英語オンリーなので,それなりの英語力は必要.
I had an absolutely amazing time! (laughs)
I was quite nervous at first, but thanks to the kind staff, I was able to ride without any issues after just a 5-minute briefing. There were ups and downs, and suddenly we passed through a tunnel in the forest that felt like something out of My Neighbor Totoro, riding on horseback. We climbed rocky areas while keeping an eye on free-range cows—it was quite an adventure! Surprisingly, my backside didn't hurt much at all. I kept saying how fun and interesting it was, and even though the experience was supposed to last an hour, they let us ride for about an hour and a half!
They only spoke English, but they talked slowly and clearly, which actually made it feel more authentic. There were just the two of us and another group, so it felt like a private experience! It had more of a Western vibe than a Hawaiian one, though... (laughs)
Above all, the horses were great, and the danger level was zero (☆∀☆). My wife, who doesn't like animals, was able to pet them normally and felt comfortable! If you sign a waiver for accidents beforehand, you can ride without a helmet (laughs). This explanation was a bit complicated, though...
It was truly a wonderful experience that made me feel like I had the great outdoors all to myself and made me love horses even more!
メチャクチャ楽しんでしまいました!(笑)
自分自身、最初だいぶ緊張してましたが
優しいスタッフのおかげで
レクチャー5分 難なく乗馬して
山あり、谷あり 、
突然
森の中のトトロのアーチばりの林のトンネルを馬ごと通り抜けたり、 放し飼いの牛を横目に岩場を登ったり かなりなアドベンチャーでしたが
お尻もたいして痛くならず
楽しい、面白い、を連発したら
体験1時間のはずが
1時間半くらい乗馬させてくれてました!!
英語しか通じないですが
ゆっくり、分かりやすく話してくれるので
逆に本場感があります。
お客も私たち二人ともう一組で貸し切り状態でした☆
ハワイと言うよりウエスタン感が強めですが…(笑)
何より馬たちがいいコで
危険度ゼロ( ☆∀☆)
動物嫌いな嫁も フツーに撫で撫でして
仲良しな感じになれます‼️
ヘルメットも事前の事故承諾のサインすれば
フツーにノーヘルです(笑)
この説明がちょっと難解でした…
本当に大自然を独り占めと
さらに馬が好きになる 素敵な体験でした!
ガンストックランチでのライドに参加していただきありがとうございます!マハロ!
Thank you for coming on a ride with us here at Gunstock Ranch! Mahalo!
I participated in the canyon horseback riding. I was a bit worried about staying on for 90 minutes without falling off, but I had no problems and enjoyed it thoroughly. The hungry horses took a detour to eat grass right away, but when I pulled the reins, they came back nicely. The 90 minutes flew by, and I would love to participate again if I get the chance.
The garlic shrimp for lunch was different from what I had eaten the last time I visited; it was a bento with shrimp. I was a bit disappointed by that. The time spent at Dole Plantation was short, and it felt more like a bathroom break at a drive-in. I felt like it might not have been necessary. A leisurely lunch in Haleiwa would have been better.
I chose the horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch offered by the travel agency because it was bundled with other attractions, thinking it would be simpler. The horseback riding was fun, but the other activities felt unimportant. I understand now that a tour focused solely on horseback riding wouldn't be feasible. I'll keep this in mind for next time. Thank you.
渓谷乗馬に参加しました。
90分落ちないでいられるか、少し心配でしたが、全く問題なく楽しく参加できました。
食いしん坊なお馬さん達は、直ぐに草を食べに寄り道しましたが、手綱をひくとちゃんと戻ってくれました。
90分があっという間で、また機会があったら参加したいです。
ランチのガーリックシュリンプは、以前行ったときに食べたものとは違い、エビ入り弁当でした。
これには少しがっかりでした。
ドールプランテーションも滞在時間が短くて、ドライブインでトイレ休憩みたいな感じでした。無くてもよかったような気がします。
ハレイワでゆっくりランチの方がいいですね。
旅行社オプショナルのクアロア牧場の乗馬が、他のアトラクションとセットだったので、こちらの方がシンプルかなと思い選びました。
乗馬は楽しかったのですが、他はどうでもいい感じでした。
乗馬だけのオプショナルツアーは成り立たないのだと理解しました。
次回の参考にします。
ありがとうございました。
In addition to horseback riding, I was able to spend a meaningful day visiting the Dole Plantation and Haleiwa Town.
At the Dole Plantation, there wasn't much time to stay, so I could only do a light stroll and some shopping at the shop.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any sea turtles.
In Haleiwa Town, I had garlic shrimp for lunch. It was plump and delicious. Since the town isn't very large, I enjoyed walking around the shops and strolling with a coffee in hand.
Horseback riding by the beach was refreshing and fun. All the horses are smart, so I think even beginners can enjoy riding.
I was disappointed by some misinformation regarding horseback riding. The website and voucher mentioned that there would be free lockers available at the riding area, so I planned to store my valuables like my camera in a locker. However, there were no lockers, and the guide told me to keep my valuables with me, which made me anxious. I recommend bringing a small bag, like a waist pouch, to hold your valuables.
乗馬の他に、ドールプランテーションやハレイワタウンの観光も付いていて有意義に一日を過ごす事が出来ました。
ドールプランテーションでは滞在時間がそんなにないので、軽い散策とショップでの買い物くらいしかできませんでした。
ウミガメは残念ながら見られませんでした。
ハレイワタウンでは、ガーリックシュリンプを昼食に食べました。
ぷりぷりでおいしかったです。
そんなに広くない街なので、歩いてショップめぐりをしたり、コーヒーを片手に散策したりと楽しめました。
海辺での乗馬は気持ちがよく、楽しかったです。
どの馬もかしこいので、初心者でも乗馬が楽しめると思います。
乗馬に関して、事前の情報違いがあり残念でした。
「乗馬場では鍵のかかるロッカー(無料)がございます」との説明文がホームページやバウチャーに記載されていたので、カメラなど貴重品をロッカー預けようと思っていましたが、実際にはロッカーは無く、ガイドに自分で貴重品を持つように言われて焦りました。
ウエストポーチなど、貴重品を入れられる小さめのバッグを持って行くことをお勧めします。
I was totally surprised to see that there were so many! Although it's early in the morning, the saying "the early bird catches the worm" is definitely true! It's absolutely worth going! This experience can't be had in Japan!
まさかあんないるなんて‼︎っていう感じでした‼︎
朝は早いけど、リアルガチで早起きは三文の徳‼︎
行く価値ありまくり‼︎この体験は日本じゃ出来ませんね‼︎
Horseback riding by the seaside was amazing. The tour company's guide taught us how to ride horses in detail, so even complete beginners had no problems. (On the other hand, the ranch staff spoke only English, so I couldn't understand anything. Without the guide's pre-ride briefing, would we have been able to ride at all?) After all, they are living creatures; the young women struggled as the horses seemed to underestimate them. This tour included a little sightseeing in Haleiwa, but it might be better to focus solely on horseback riding. (There were overlaps with other day tours.)
海辺の乗馬は最高でした。ツアー会社のガイドさんが、馬の乗り方を丁寧に教えてくださったので、全くの初体験者でも問題はありませんでした。(反対に牧場の方は、英語なので全然わかりません。ガイドさんの事前レクがなければ、何もわからず乗ることに?) やはり生き物、若い女性は馬になめられて扱いに苦労していました。このツアーにはわずかなハレイワ観光などが含まれていましたが、乗馬だけに特化した方が良いかもわかりません。(他の1日観光と重複するところがあったので)
I was able to see a lot of sharks!! It was amazing!! However, the boat was really rocking, and I got very seasick (・ω・`).
たくさんのサメを見れました!!
感動!!
ただ、船がめっちゃ揺れて船酔いがやばかったです(・ω・`)
We participated as a family. The instructor was friendly and had a great personality. We have done several horseback riding experiences in Hawaii, but the trail along the shoreline was our first time, and it was truly moving.
家族で参加しました。インストラクターの先生が気さくな感じの良い先生でした。ハワイでいくつか乗馬体験をやりましたが、波打ち際のトレイルは初めで、感動しました。
I participated in a plan that included transportation. The pickup was about 20 minutes late. After we got on, there were more pickups, but there was no place to stop, so we kept going around the same area, which I think caused the delay.
They come with a smaller microbus, which has a flashy zipline photo printed on it, making it easy to recognize. The ride lasts about an hour and a half.
Due to the influence of television, despite the reviews saying there are hardly any Japanese people, we went as a party of eight, consisting of four Japanese groups. There were three instructors, and everything was in English. However, we could communicate through gestures.
There are points along the way to hydrate and get snacks like tomatoes and bananas.
We took a buggy up to the summit and then zipped down, so the view was amazing! The distance is long, so I think there's a sense of satisfaction from each run. However, I got a little bored halfway through (sweat).
We started at 11:00 and finished at 13:00, but the driver asked if we were hungry and stopped at a nearby 7-Eleven.
I gave each instructor a tip of $10. I don't think two groups tipped. I didn't tip the driver.
The instructors took photos at key points with their smartphones and later emailed them to us, offering to sell the data. It was $45 for 16 shots. Of course, we could check them before purchasing, and just seeing them was enough for me.
送迎ありのプランで参加しました。
ピックアップの時間は20分くらい遅れてきました。私たちが乗った後もピックアップがあったのですが、止める場所がなくグルグル同じ場所を回ってたのでその辺りが遅れた原因かと思います。
小さめのマイクロバスで来るのですが、ジップライン写真がプリントされていて派手なので分かりやすいと思います。
乗っている時間は1時間半くらいかな。
テレビの影響か、口コミはほとんど日本人がいないという割りに日本人4組の8人パーティで行いました。
インストラクターさんは3人で、全て英語です。でも、身ぶり手振りで意思疏通はできます。
途中で水分補給やトマト、バナナなど補給できるポイントがあります。
バギーで山頂?まで登って、そこからジップラインで下ってくるので景色は最高です!
距離は長いので1本の満足感はあると思います。でも、私は途中でちょっと飽きちゃいました(汗)
11時スタート、13時アップだったのですが帰りのドライバーさんがお腹減ったか聞いてくれて、途中にあるセブンイレブンに寄ってくれました。
チップはインストラクターにそれぞれ10$ずつ渡しました。2組は渡してなかったと思います。ドライバーさんには渡していません。
インストラクターが要所要所でスマホで写真を撮ってくれていたにですが、後日メールで送ってきてくれて、データを販売してくれます。16カットで45$でした。購入する前にもちろん確認出来るので、それを見るだけでも私は十分でした。
During my first trip to Hawaii, I wanted to fulfill my wife's wish to participate in an activity that was introduced on a certain TV program, which was both shocking and exciting! I personally am not very good with heights, and I usually can't handle fast rides or anything that involves falling, so I had some anxiety. However, the staff were friendly and took safety seriously, which allowed me to trust them.
Taking that first step to jump was scary, but the speed wasn't too intense, and once I got to see the breathtaking views, I felt completely fine! Since the staff communicated entirely in English, it was a bit challenging for us to understand with our limited English skills, but it was very reassuring that some Japanese participants in our team provided additional explanations.
I would love to participate again if I have the chance!
初めてのハワイ旅行にて、某テレビ番組でも紹介されて衝撃的かつ刺激的だったので是非とも参加したいという妻の希望に応えたく参加させていただきました!
僕自身高所もあまり得意ではなく、速いだの落ちるだの絶叫系はもっぱらダメなので不安もありましたが、スタッフの方々が気さくな感じと、安全性にもしっかり配慮されていたので身を任す事が出来ました。
飛び出す一歩は怖いけど、スピードもそれほどキツくなく、絶景を見れたらそんなことは全然大丈夫でした!
スタッフの方々がすべて英語での対応だったため、僕らの英語力では理解が難しかったですが、同じチームに日本の方々が説明を加えていただけたのもとても心強かったです。
機会があればまた参加したいですね!
私の3歳の子供と私にとって素晴らしい体験でした。39分間でしたが、友好的な馬たちと美しい農場を回ることができました。スタッフもとても親切で、貴重な瞬間を楽しむことができました。家族と一緒に子供たちを再び連れて行きたいと思います。彼らの素晴らしいおもてなしに感謝します。
It was great experience for my 3 years old kid and myself. It was just 39 min, but we could ride around beautiful farm with fiendly horses.
Staff was quite nice and we could enjoy the prescious moment. I will take my kids back again with family.
Appreciate their great hospitality.
マハロ(ありがとう)レビューをいただきありがとうございます!ガンストックランチでの体験を楽しんでいただけたことをとても嬉しく思います。私たちは、皆さんに私たちのランチと馬を見ていただけることを喜んでいます!またのご来店をお待ちしております!
Mahalo for your review! we are so glad you enjoyed your experience with us here at Gunstock Ranch, we are happy to share our ranch and horses with everyone to see! we hope you come again!
Horseback riding was very enjoyable, and the staff at the ranch only spoke English but were very kind. The horses were very well-trained, and although I have a little riding experience, I think even beginners can ride comfortably.
However, the person who guided us...
They weren't a bad person, but they spoke unilaterally without checking in with us. It felt like they were progressing through the tour like a factory assembly line, just going through the motions. I intended to ask for lunch as well, but when was the order taken? At one point during the drive, lunch was mentioned, but they didn't take our order. The guide seemed to think that since there was no lunch order, everyone should take care of it themselves. As a result, everyone in the vehicle ended up getting lunch on their own.
乗馬はとても楽しく牧場の人も英語でしか話せませんでしたがとても親切でした。馬もとても慣れていて、私は乗馬経験が少しありますが、初心者でも安心して乗馬が出来ると思います。
ただ、観光を案内してくれる人が・・・
悪い人ではないのですが、一方的に話をして確認をとったりしない。工場での流れ作業の様に一人で淡々と進めていく感じでした。昼食もお願いするつもりでしたが、いつ注文?一度運転中に話をしている中で昼食についても話がでましたが、注文をとってくれませんでした。ガイドさんは昼食の注文がなかったので、各自でとって下さい。と注文をとったつもりでいた様でしたが、おかげで車中全員が各自で昼食をとりました。
I chose a private course because I wanted to canter, having some experience in horseback riding. However, due to the impact of a recent typhoon, I had to cross a small river to get to the area where the horses could run. The horses couldn't cross, so I thought, "No way!" and decided to get a refund. As a result, I ended up on the same course as the complete beginners. I would have appreciated a heads-up before the tour started, letting us know there would be areas where we couldn't run. Moreover, it was a hot day, and the female staff had a sour expression, which made the experience feel unpleasant.
乗馬の経験があるためキャンターをしたかったので、プライベートコースを選びました。ですが、少し前の台風の影響もあり、馬の走れるスペースに行くのには 、小さな川を渡らなければいけないと、、。馬には渡れないは、で
no way!でリファンンドするからいいわよね。で、まるきり体験コースの
方々と同じコースへ。ツアーが始まる前に、走れない箇所があるけど
どうしますか?ぐらいの連絡はいただきたかったですね。しかも、その日暑くてスタッフの女子は仏頂面で感じ悪かったです。
I love the ocean and swim with sharks in Hawaii was on my bucket list. To celebrate my 78th birthday, my daughter decided to take me on this amazing shark cage diving tour. What a great experience! We saw a lot of different species of sharks, they are amazing animals. The crew was really nice and made us feel safe during the entire process. Thank you HawaiiActivities.com for helping me during our booking process. This was the best birthday gift I could ask for!
The zip line experience was amazing. I had a great time. Although there was no Japanese support, I managed to get by. I was a bit worried since all the explanations were in English and I could only understand about one-third of it, but the staff kindly provided some words in Japanese and used gestures to help me navigate the course.
First, we put on the harness and helmet (they teach you properly) and practiced by sliding down a practice zip line. After that, we took a buggy to the course, which started at a pretty high point. The view was absolutely stunning, which was already impressive. The course gradually increased in difficulty from beginner to more challenging (the distance and steepness became greater, but as I got used to it, it became even more enjoyable), and finally, we reached what is said to be the longest zip line at 830 meters. I heard it was the longest in America (though my understanding of English is less than one-third).
I was able to enjoy the ride with a bit of ease, being able to look around. At the end, I was told to try various tricks (the staff demonstrated how to do it), so I attempted to go backwards and upside down. I highly recommend this to everyone.
Along the course, there were spots to learn about history, hydrate, and eat bananas and macadamia nuts. It was a zip line experience where you could climb and descend on your own while enjoying nature. It seems that this activity hasn't spread much among Japanese people yet, as I didn't see many others; there was only one other group. My team even included a foreigner who was about 70 years old, so I think it's something that people of various ages can enjoy.
ジップライン最高です良い体験をしました。
日本語対応無いですが、何とかできます。
説明がすべて英語で普通会話の説明なのでどうなるかと思いました(1/3位しか分からなかった)が、スタッフが親切に日本人には単語だけ言ってくれたり、身ぶり手ぶりで教えてくれたのでコースを回って来られました。
最初にハーネスとヘルメットを装着(ちゃんと教えてくれます)して練習ジップラインを実際にはすべり下りる。
その後、バギーでコースへ出発、結構登った所が出発点です。景色がすっごく良いです。これだけで感動。初級向けから徐々に難しくなって(距離や斜度が急になってきますが、慣れて来てもっと楽しくなってくる)遂に830mあるそうですが最長のジップラインに来ます。アメリカで1番長いと聴こえました(私の1/3以下の英語理解ですが)。ちょっと余裕で(周りが見られるようになる)楽しく降りることができました。
最後はいろいろアレンジしろと言われ(スタッフが演技して降りるので分かります)背面、逆さまに挑戦しました。皆さんにもオススメします。
コースの途中には歴史や水分補給、バナナ、マカデミアの食べるところもあり、自力でロープを登ったり、降りたり、自然を満喫しながらのジップラインです。
まだあまり日本人には広がってないのか余り見かけませんでした、ほかのチームでも1組くらいしか入ってなかった。わたしのチームには70歳くらいの外人さんも入っていたので、結構年いっても出来るかと思いました。
The location is quite far from Waikiki, which was tough, but it was worth the 20,000 yen! You absolutely have to do it! Just be careful of mosquito bites!
場所はワイキキからかなりあり大変だったけど、2万出した価値あり!絶対やるべきー!
蚊にさされるよー
The weather was great, and I encountered a sea turtle along the way. Communicating with the horse was also enjoyable. They paired me with a smaller mare that matched my height. Since it's a Thoroughbred, I wondered if it used to be a racehorse! I had a wonderful experience.
天候にも恵まれて、途中ウミガメにも遭遇しました。お馬さんとのコミュニケーションも楽しいです。お馬さんは、わたしの身長に合わせて小さめの牝馬をパートナーにしてくれました。
サラブレッドですので、むかし競走馬だったのかな!とか思いながら楽しい経験できました。
I love sharks, so I have swum with them domestically, but the sharks in this plan were not as large as in the promotional photos. I was disappointed.
However, another team that saw the sharks up close was very impressed and seemed to be generous with tips.
Also, the sea surface was very choppy for snorkeling, making it quite easy to get seasick. Since the boat can also cause seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication to avoid a double whammy.
サメが好きなので国内でもサメと泳ぐ等していたのですが、
今回のプランのサメは宣伝写真程大きくありません。期待外れでした。
ですが、初めてサメを間近で見た別の参加チームは非常に感動しており、チップも弾んでいたようです。
また、シュノーケルのため海面が非常に揺れ、大変酔いやすいです。
船も酔う可能性があるので、Wパンチにならないよう、酔い止めの服用をおすすめします。
I used a lot of energy, but I had a great time! It was helpful to have a guide who could speak Japanese. The scenery on the way back was also amazing. I will build up my stamina and participate again!
体力を使ったけど楽しめました❗日本語を
話せるガイドがついたので助かりました。
帰りの景色も最高でした。体力を付けて又参加します❗
The guide, who was of Japanese-Hawaiian descent, was enjoyable! I was able to hear about history and interesting anecdotes. Also, the tour took us to several places that would be difficult to visit on my own. Riding horses by the beach was incredibly refreshing.
日系ハワイアンの方のガイドがたのしかったです!
歴史やこぼれ話などきくことが出来ました。
また、ツアーでは自分だけでいくには難しい場所にいくつもいけました。
海辺での乗馬は最高に気持ちよかったです。
I participated in a trip with my girlfriend. The general flow was picking up participants at various locations → a break at Dole Plantation → free time in Haleiwa → horseback riding experience. At Dole Plantation, the pineapple ice cream is a specialty and it was sweet and delicious. Haleiwa (in the photo) is a nice place where I could shop at the newly opened Snoopy limited edition store and enjoy gourmet food at a restaurant famous for garlic shrimp. I had no prior experience with horseback riding, but they kindly taught me how to ride. The horses were all calm and easy to ride. Being able to ride for over an hour while enjoying the scenery was a valuable experience. The guide was also very kind, the explanations were easy to understand, and they were friendly! It was a very satisfying tour.
彼女との旅行で参加しました。大まかな流れは各地で参加者をピックアップ→ドールプランテーションで休憩→ハレイワで自由行動→乗馬体験でした。 ドールプランテーションではパイナップルのアイスが名物ですが甘くて美味しかったです。ハレイワ(写真)は雰囲気のいい場所で、新しくできたスヌーピーの限定ショップで買い物をしたり、ガーリックシュリンプが有名なお店でグルメを楽しむことができました。乗馬は未経験でしたが丁寧に乗り方を教えていただきました。馬はみな大人しく乗りやすかったと思います。景色を楽しみながら1時間以上も乗馬をできるのは貴重な経験でした。ガイドの方もとても親切で説明もわかりやすく、フレンドリーでした!大満足なツアーでした。
It was a 1.5-hour horseback ride, but considering it took us 2 hours to get there from Waikiki, it ended up being just 1.5 hours of riding through the forest, which got boring halfway through.
1.5時間の乗馬でしたが、ワイキキから2時間かけて行った割に
森の中をただひたすら乗馬するだけの1.5時間だったので途中で飽きてしまいました。
アロハ、あなたが乗車や景色を楽しめなかったと聞いて残念です。1.5時間の乗車は、山を通り、島のウィンドワード側を見るための有名な山頂へ向かいますが、ほとんどの人はその景色を楽しんでいます。フィードバックをありがとうございます。マハロ。
Aloha, We are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the ride or the views. The 1.5 ride is through the mountains to our famous mountaintop to see the Windward side of the island and most people enjoy the views. Thank you for the feedback. Mahalo
The entertainment and activities were excellent!!
The young entertainers were very enthusiastic and had so much energy. We enjoyed this luau very much.
Aloha Scott, thanks for your review! We are so glad you had all the best at the luau, and we look forward to seeing you again. Mahalo from your Toa Luau Ohana! ^_^
The weather forecast predicted rain and thunderstorms, but it turned out to be cloudy and not too hot, which was actually nice.
During the Haleiwa tour, they asked about my personal preferences and places I wanted to visit, allowing us to spend our time efficiently. If I could wish for anything, it would be an additional 15 minutes of stay time, as that would allow for a more relaxed experience.
The horseback riding by the beach was amazing! The feeling of openness when we emerged from the forest to the seaside was the best! I was healed by the sound of the waves while strolling.
Next time, I want to try horseback riding in the canyon!
天気予報は雨、雷マークでしたが、曇り空で暑すぎずかえって良かったです(^^)
ハレイワ観光は事前に個人の好み、行きたい場所を聞いてくださり、効率よく過ごせました。
欲を言えばあと15分滞在時間が長ければ、ゆとりを持って行動できると思います。
海辺乗馬は林を抜けて海辺に出た時の開放感は最高!波の音を聞きながらの散策に癒されました(^^)
次回は渓谷乗馬に挑戦したいなあ〜
During my trip to Hawaii, I participated in horseback riding along the beach at Hawaii Polo Club's North Shore. This was my second time riding since my experience at Kualoa Ranch, but the location was different, and it felt wonderful to ride along the coastal course while enjoying the gentle sea breeze. We got caught in the rain for a bit, but thanks to that, we were lucky enough to see a rainbow. The horses were well-trained, so there’s no need to worry even if you're a beginner. I highly recommend everyone to join and experience this wonderful feeling!
今回ハワイ旅行で、ハワイポロクラプのノースショアの海辺を乗馬に参加しました。
乗馬は、クアロアランチで体験して以来2回目でしたが、クアロアランチとはまた違うロケーションで、のんびり潮風にあたりながらめぐる海辺のコースはとても気持ち良かったです。
途中雨に降られましたが、おかげで虹も見ることが出来てラッキーでした。
乗せてもらう馬もよく調教されており、初心者でも全く心配はいりません。
皆さんもぜひ参加して、この気持ち良さ味わってください‼️
I arrived at Dole 5 minutes before opening, entered through the back door, and was the first to get the Dole ice cup with toppings for $6.50, which I had previously given up on due to the long line!
In Haleiwa, I enjoyed the garlic shrimp at Camaron, which was recommended by our guide, and the rainbow shave ice from Matsumoto Shave Ice. We waited just long enough for those who were late to make it to the next horseback riding session, and I was thrilled when we found the two of them while slowly driving back. I really appreciate the consideration shown by our guide, Kaz.
During the drive, Kaz listened to everyone's requests and kept the atmosphere lively with stories and quizzes, so we had a fun time without getting bored.
My first horseback riding experience was much more enjoyable than I had imagined. The view from the horse was fantastic, and the scenery at Turtle Bay was beautiful. In the forest, there were moments when the hungry horse decided it was mealtime or strayed off the path, but as Kaz explained, the horse listened well to the gentle guidance, making it very cute. Horseback riding was amazing!!! I plan to include horseback riding at the top of my itinerary for my next trip to Hawaii.
On the way back, we made an unexpected stop at a macadamia nut farm (with free coffee and nut cracking), and I was able to take great photos of the murals in the Kaka'ako area from the car window.
It was also possible to get off at our desired locations, and after arriving at the hotel, I got off at Ala Moana and enjoyed shopping at my leisure.
Thank you very much, Kaz, for all your help. I truly appreciate it! (o^―^o)
ドールには開店5分前に到着、裏口から入り、以前行列で断念したドールアイスカップ入りトッピング付き$6.50を一番乗りでゲット!!
ハレイワではガイドさんオススメのカマロンのガーリックシュリンプ、松本シェイブアイスのレインボーアイスを食べました。
集合時間に間に合わなかった方を次の乗馬に間に合うギリギリまで待ち、その後Uターンしながらゆっくり車を走らせてお二人を見つけた時には感激しました。ガイドのカズさんの配慮に脱帽です。
車内では一人一人の要望を聞いて下さり、出来るだけ皆が楽しめるような話やクイズで盛り上げてくれたので道中飽きる事なく楽しく過ごせました。
初めての乗馬は想像していたよりずっと楽しかったです。馬の上からの眺望は素晴らしくタートルベイの景色はとっても綺麗でした。林の中では途中食いしん坊の馬が食事タイムになったり、道を外れたりするのですが、ガイドさんの説明通り手網さばきで馬は素直にいう事を聞いてくれるのでとっても可愛いです。乗馬最高!!!次のハワイ旅行の時にも乗馬は真っ先に予定に入れるつもりです。
帰りには予定になかったマカダミアナッツファームで下車(フリーコーヒーとナッツ割り)、カカアコ地区の壁画も車窓からバッチリ写真撮影が出来ました。
希望の場所でも下車が可能で、ホテル到着後に行きたかったアラモアナで下車しゆっくりと買い物を楽しむ事が出来ました。
ガイドのカズさん、大変お世話になりました。
本当にありがとうございます(o^―^o)
It's been a while since I've been to the North!!! I usually come by rental car, but I wanted to experience horseback riding on the beach, so I joined this tour. Although we were hit by a heavy downpour just before, it cleared up quickly, and I was able to ride safely. Since it was along the beach rather than on a road, it was a bit challenging to control the horse, but it felt great and was a lot of fun.
久々のノースに!!!いつもはレンタカーで来るのですが、ビーチで乗馬体験をしたくてこちらのツアーに参加させて頂きました。直前に激しいスコールに襲われたものの、すぐにあがったので無事乗馬できました。道ではなくビーチ沿いだったので馬を操るがちょっと難しかったですが、とても気持ちよくて楽しかったです。
My wife, grandmother, and our children aged 4 and 6 participated. The scenery was wonderful, and the teacher was very cheerful. It seems like it became a great memory.
4歳と6歳の子供と妻と祖母が参加しました。景色が素晴らしく、先生もとてもあかるい。
良い思い出になったみたいです。
ガンストックランチでのユニークなポニーロ ride にご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。お楽しみいただけたことを嬉しく思います。またのご来店をお待ちしております!

I thought it might be a little scary, but it was far more fun than that. The scenery was amazing, and zip-lining while feeling the wind was the best!
少し怖いかなと思いましたがそれをはるかに超える楽しさがありました。景気も素晴らしく風を感じながらのジップラインは最高でした。
One of the best experiences in my life, the crew was amazing, they both were helpful and informative. Would have stayed out there all day if they had let me, lol.
