I made a same-day reservation for a private plan through the app and arrived. After parking my car, I went to the reception where I was told to leave my belongings in the car and only take my phone.
I put on a helmet and received an explanation along with three other customers.
Huh?? A private plan..!?
The staff kindly explained everything. At one point, I was handed a smartphone, and we all read the instructions written in Japanese together.
After that, we set off. Just before departure, it started to rain, and they lent me a rain jacket.
During the horseback riding, there was one staff member assigned to each group. The horse I rode on started to relieve itself right away and then immediately went off to eat grass, which was quite challenging.
I tried to follow the initial instructions, but when I called for the staff, they seemed a bit annoyed while helping me.
Perhaps because it started to rain, the horse became grumpy and suddenly crouched down. At that moment, one of my legs got pinned underneath. It was my first time riding, and I was really surprised by the suddenness of it, but the staff scolded the horse, and since I wasn't injured, I was able to return safely.
After that, there was no particular follow-up, and since I settled the payment through the app, it ended with a casual "thank you for your hard work." I was really looking forward to it, but I returned home feeling a bit unsettled.
Tipping wasn't specifically requested; there was a jar in the waiting area where you could drop in tips.
By the way, it takes about 10 minutes by car to get to Giovanni, famous for its garlic shrimp.
アプリから貸切プランで当日予約し、伺いました。
駐車場に車を止め、受付に行くと車内に荷物を置き携帯電話だけ持つよう言われました。
ヘルメットを被り、他のお客さん3名と説明を受けます。
あれ???貸切・・!?
スタッフさん方は愛想よく説明してくれました。途中でスマホを渡され、みんなで日本語で書いてある説明を読みます。
その後出発しました。出発前に雨が降ってきてレインジャケットを貸してくれました。
乗馬はグループごとに1人スタッフさんがついてくれて行きました。
私が乗った馬は開始早々大も小もしはじめて、更にすぐに草を食べに行ってしまうのですごく大変でした。
なんとか最初に説明を受けた通りにしていましたが、スタッフさんを呼ぶとめんどくさそうな感じで対応してくれました。
途中雨が降ってきたからか、馬が不機嫌になり、急にしゃがんでしまいました。
その時私の片足が下敷きになりました。
初めての乗馬でしたし、突然のことですごく驚きましたが、スタッフさんが馬を叱って?くれ、怪我もしていなかった為無事に戻れました。
その後特にフォローはなく、清算もアプリからしていたので、お疲れ様〜って感じで終わりました。すごく楽しみにしていたのですが、なんかもやもやしながら帰りました。
チップは特に求められず待合所?にビンが置いてあってチップを入れるみたいでした。
ちなみにガーリックシュリンプで有名なジョバンニへは車で10分くらいで行けます。

Everything, including the tour, was in English. That was a bit of a downside, but the staff were very considerate, so it wasn't too much of a problem.
Anyway, I had a great time! The weather was nice, and the views were breathtaking; I was truly moved.
During the tour, there was an 85-year-old grandmother and a boy around 10 years old, and both were able to do the zip line, so I realized it's a sport that anyone can enjoy!
ツアーも含めてすべて英語です。それだけがちょっと難点だけど、スタッフの方々もかなり気を使ってくれてそこまで問題なく。
とにかく、とっても楽しかったです!
天気も良くて絶景で、本当に感動しました。
ツアー中に85歳のおばあさんと10歳くらいの少年がいて、どちらもジップライン出来てたので、誰でも楽しめスポーツなんだなと思いました!

I participated with two friends! When we arrived at Keana Farm, the receptionist first asked for our names and confirmed if we had a reservation. After that, we checked in on an iPad. We stored our valuables in lockers, and any larger bags or hoodies that wouldn’t fit in the lockers were left with the receptionist.
On the second or third zip line, I was told to grab the reddish rope at the landing point, but I couldn't grip it well and ended up reversing, so the instructor had to rescue me. I felt really sorry and apologized, but the instructor was very kind and said it was okay in English. More than anything, it was cool to see them helping me (laughs). Although I couldn't communicate in Japanese, they taught me with gestures. I love thrill rides, so I really enjoyed the zip line!! I want to do it again. The four instructors who accompanied us were all friendly, which was great.
友達2人で参加しました!ケアナファームに着いたらまず受付の人に名前を聞かれ、予約の名前があるかを確認された後、iPadでチェックインをします。その後は貴重品はロッカーに預け、ロッカーに入らない大きめのバックやパーカーは受付の人に預けました。
2個目か3個目のジップラインでゴール地点に赤っぽいロープがあるからそれを握るようにって言われてたのにうまく握れずそのままリバースしてしまいインストラクターの方に救出してもらいました。かなり申し訳なくて謝ったらインストラクターさんすごく優しくて、英語で大丈夫ですよって言ってくれました。それと何より助けてくれてる姿がかっこよかったです(笑)日本語は通じないですが、身振り手振りで教えてくれます。私は絶叫系大好きなのでジップラインすごく楽しめました!!またしたいです。私達についてくれた4人のインストラクターさんも気さくな方ばかりで良かったです。

The whole Polynesian Cultural Center experience is a must when visiting Oahu. We to Oahu in 2016 and was so fortunate to be able to go back and see this venue. There was plenty of things to do in a day (and everyone should go back either two or three days), seeing the tickets are good for three days. The cultural entertainment was very intriguing. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do many activities on the island as there was just so much to consume the first day there.
The staff was very attentive and friendly, most of them students. Any monies spent went to the tuition and any educational expenses.
The luau was a delight. Plenty of food and very organized!
Highly Recommend!!

We participated as a group of five adults, and it was incredibly fun. Initially, we booked a package that included transportation, but on the way back, we wanted to eat Kahuku shrimp, so we changed to meet on-site and went by rental car. The facility felt new.
The weather was a mix of sunny, cloudy, and occasionally drizzling rain. Since we were dressed lightly, I thought it felt cold even with a little rain, but they provided disposable ponchos. Wonderful service! However, it got hot once I put it on. When the rain stopped, I thought, "Well, I don't mind getting wet," and returned it.
Our group consisted of 11 people (four adults and two children from the mainland U.S. joined us), and we had three guides. They were very attentive to safety and constantly checked on us, which made us feel secure. As mentioned in the reviews, Japanese wasn’t understood, but they made an effort to engage us with encouragement, funny faces at times, pointing during important moments, and repeated explanations (in English), so we generally understood. After explanations, they would demonstrate with "like this?" and if it was okay, they would say "ok!" or if it was slightly off, they would use their bodies to explain, which reassured me. I have a fear of heights, but I felt completely fine. Perhaps it was because I felt safe.
Along the way, we could freely take water, mini tomatoes, and macadamia nuts at certain points. However, there wasn’t much time to relax, so we quickly drank and ate before moving on. There were other groups before and after us, so we progressed at a good pace. It seemed there were only two other Japanese people in the group behind us. It was quite pricey, but it was worth it. Even at 71 years old, I managed just fine. I brought my smartphone in a waist pouch. I also had a strap to hang around my neck, but they advised me that the waist pouch was better (in English). We could take photos at key points, and they took pictures for us, which made for great memories.
I have sensitive hands, so I bought floral gardening gloves at a 100 yen shop. They didn’t look great in photos, but I thought it would help with the strain on my hands when holding the rope while climbing. No one else was wearing gloves, but I was glad I used them to prevent hand irritation.
大人5人で参加、最高に楽しかったです。
最初は送迎付きを申し込みましたが、帰り道でカフクエビを食べたくて、変更して現地集合にして、レンタカーで行きました。施設は新しい感じでした。
天候は晴れだったり、曇りだったり、時々雨がぱらついたりでした。
薄着ですから、雨がパラパラでも寒く感じるなーと思ってると、使い捨てポンチョをくれました。すばらしい対応!でも着ると暑い^^;すぐに止む→ま、濡れてもいいやと返しました。
私たちグループは11人(私たち以外に、アメリカ本土からの大人4人と子供2人)ガイドは3人がついてくれました。とても安全に気を配ってて常に確認されてたので安心できました。口コミ通り日本語は通じなかったですが、楽しませようと声掛けや、時に変顔、大事な場面では指さし、何度も説明(英語ですが^^;)などで、だいたい分かりました。説明の後、「こんなふう?」みたいにやってみせると、ok!だとか、ちょっと違うなというときには体を使って説明してくれるので大丈夫とおもいました。高所恐怖症の私ですが全然大丈夫でした。安全と思えたからでしょうか。
途中、ポイントで、水や、ミニトマト、マカダミアナッツが自由に摂れます。でもゆっくりくつろいでる時間はないので、さっさと飲んだり食べたりして次に進む感じです。前後のグループもいるので程よくドンドン進みます。
日本人は私たち以外には、後ろのグループに2人いたようです。
けっこうお高めですが、それだけの価値はあります。71才でも全然平気。スマホはウエストポーチに入れて持っていきました。首からかけるストラップも持ってましたが、ウエストポーチのほうが良いと言われました(英語で^^;)要所要所で撮影できるし、撮ってくれるので記念になりました。
手荒れの私、100均で花柄の園芸手袋買っていきました。写真写りはかっこわるいけど、ロープを持って上に上の時に、手に負担があると思ったからです。手袋してる方はいませんでしたが、手荒れ予防に使ってよかったです。

We experienced horseback riding as a family. We went to the polo club by rental car and participated in a tour. The North Shore is truly a wonderful place, and it was an amazing experience to ride along the coast in the pleasant breeze. It was my son and son-in-law's first time riding, but the horses were smart, and they enjoyed it without any problems. Along the way, we took photos, and my son attached a GoPro to his arm to film while riding without any issues. We also had some commemorative photos taken, and even though it was in English, we received various explanations, making it the best memory of our trip to Hawaii.
家族で乗馬体験しました。レンタカーで、ポロクラブへ行き、ツアーに参加しました。ノースショアが本当に素晴らしい場所で、心地よい風の中、海岸沿いを馬で歩けて最高に素晴らしい体験ができました。息子も娘婿も初めての乗馬でしたが、賢い馬で、何の問題もなく楽しめました。途中写真を取ったり、息子はゴープロを腕につけて馬の操作には問題ない状態でビデオを撮ったり、途中記念撮影して下さったり、英語ですが、いろいろ説明してもらいハワイに来た最高の思い出になりました。

I previously had a horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch, but the movie tour aside, the horseback riding felt very much like a "tourist attraction"—it was crowded, and we all went in a line together.
At Gunstock Ranch, my 2-year-and-10-month-old daughter could ride a pony, while my husband and I chose to ride horses. A staff member walked with my daughter's pony, and we followed behind on our own horses. There aren't many places that allow small children to ride alone, so it was a valuable experience! We chose a 20-minute ride, which was more than enough time for little ones! The grounds are incredibly spacious, allowing us to feel the great outdoors, and afterward, they let my daughter brush the pony and give it treats, which was really friendly of them. I definitely want to go back next time!
*However, there were no staff members who spoke Japanese. I don't think it would be too much of a problem, though.
以前クアロア牧場で乗馬体験もしたのですが、映画地のツアーはともかく乗馬に関しては「観光向け」という感じで、混んでいるし、みんなでぞろぞろ行く感じでした。
このガンストック牧場は2歳10か月の娘がポニー、私と夫は馬と選べて、係の女の人が娘のポニーを引いて歩いてくれ、私たちは後ろから自分たちでついていくという感じです。小さい子1人で乗らせてくれるところはないので、貴重な体験でした!
20分のライドを選びましたが、小さい子には十分すぎる時間です!
敷地はものすごく広くて大自然を感じられるし、終わった後で娘にポニーのブラッシングや、おやつをあげさせてくれたりして、本当にフレンドリーでした(^^)次回も絶対に行きたいです!
※ただ日本語が話せるスタッフさんはいなかったです。
そんなに困る事はないと思いますが。

I have a fear of heights and can't even ride a Ferris wheel, but after seeing this zip line on TV, I really wanted to try it, so I signed up with my husband. To be honest, I was considering canceling until just before the event.
In the car on the way there, the driver seemed to be giving a tour in English, but I couldn't understand anything. However, I enjoyed the drive, feeling the great nature, which was different from Waikiki.
Once we arrived, the procedures were in English, and I was confused, but I managed to get through it by asking a Japanese participant for help. There were three guides for our group of eleven, and since my husband and I were the oldest, the guides were very kind and attentive to us.
During the initial practice, I hesitated several times, but I thought that if I didn't jump here, there would be no going back (laughs). With each jump, I felt less like I had a fear of heights, and by the end, I was able to fly while spinning the camera with one hand. There were various attractions along the way, and the guides put on performances, making it a lot of fun.
When I signed up, I thought the price was high, but I believe it was worth even more than that. The guides took photos for us, which we could purchase, but I wish there had been videos as well. I definitely want to participate again next time!
高所恐怖症で観覧車も乗れないのにテレビでこのジップラインを見てどうしてもやりたくて主人と申込みしましたが正直直前まで私だけキャンセルしようかと思っていました。
お迎えの車の中では運転手さんが英語でガイドをしていたみたいですが全く解りませんでしたが景色はワイキキとは違い大自然を感じるドライブを楽しむことができました。
着いてからの手続きも英語なので解らず迷っていたら日本人の参加の方に聞きながらなんとか出来ました。
3名のガイドの方に11人のグループで私たち夫婦が最高齢でガイドの方もそれをわかってかとても親切丁寧に接してくれていました。
初めの練習の時何度か躊躇しましたがここで飛ばなければ後がないと思いきりました(笑)
回数を重なるごとに高所恐怖症ではなかったのではと思うくらいで、最後は片手でカメラを回しながら飛ぶこともできました。途中途中いろんなアトラクションがあったり、ガイドさんのパフォーマンスがあったりとても楽しかったです。
申し込むとき料金高いなと思いましたがそれ以上に価値があったと思います。ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれて購入することができましたが動画もあれば良かったなと思いました。
次回もぜひ参加したいです!!

The check-in process using tablet devices and the activities are conducted entirely in English. However, since there are quite a few Japanese participants, it all works out. The safety measures are extremely high to prevent any accidents. About ten people form one group, and three instructors accompany you. By the time you finish the seven courses, there’s a strange sense of camaraderie within the group. There are T-shirts for sale at the shop that the staff also wear, and the design is very nice (I purchased one). The group I joined finished around 12:40, and the return driver asked everyone for their opinions and took us to a restaurant famous for garlic shrimp in the Kahuku area. It turned out to be a very satisfying tour, as we were able to visit a place that would be hard to get to without renting a car.
現地到着後のタブレット端末によるチェックイン作業やアクティビティー中のガイドはすべて英語で行われます。ただし、日本人の参加者もそこそこいる人気のツアーなのでなんとかなります。事故が起きないよう安全に対する配慮は極めて高いです。10名くらいが1グループになってコースを回るスタイルで、3人のインストラクターが帯同します。7本終えるころには1グループに妙な連帯感がでます。売店でスタッフも着用しているTシャツなどが売っているのですが、デザインがとても良いです。(購入済み)私が参加した組は終了時間が12時40分くらいで、帰りの送迎ドライバーさんがみんなに意見を聞き、カフク地区名物のガーリックシュリンプのお店に寄ってくれました。レンタカーを借りなければなかなか行けないお店にも寄れて大満足のツアーになりました。

Initially, I thought about taking the bus, but I didn't know how to ride it or the schedule, so I consulted with HIS. They told me it would take a long time and that I wouldn't know how to transfer, which would make it difficult to reach my destination. I even considered canceling. In the end, I decided to take a taxi (which was expensive).
There were seven elderly ladies, all beginners, and at first, they were a bit scared to get on, but they gradually got used to it. The woman who accompanied us was very cheerful, which made it enjoyable and the experience was fantastic (I'm glad we did it).
As they got more comfortable, everyone expressed a desire to go horseback riding and try galloping. While Kualoa is famous, this place felt more local, and Japanese wasn't spoken, but we managed to communicate somehow. There were also small children with us, and they had a great time as well.

I'm afraid of heights, but I made a reservation because my husband loves this kind of thing and I thought he would enjoy it. At first, I regretted it, but after doing the first practice run, I was surprisingly not scared at all and didn't feel like I was falling, which was a relief. After a while, the scenery was the same, and since there were trees around, it didn't feel high at all. I thought maybe halfway would be enough because I was tired, but it turned out to be a great experience that I'll remember for a lifetime.

I was worried about the rain in North Shore based on my experience, but the weather was really nice. The lush green scenery was wonderful.
The ziplining was refreshing as it cut through the greenery, and I felt great doing it. I was satisfied with the eight lines.
Not only did I glide through the greenery, but the heights and lengths varied, allowing me to enjoy views of the fields while zipping along, so I never got bored. The suspension bridge and other athletic-like activities were also fun.
I was able to experience things like letting go of the harness, starting backward, and even going upside down, which I definitely wouldn't be allowed to do in Japan.
The staff, who couldn't speak Japanese, did their best to explain things in simple English. I was very satisfied.
One thing I noticed was that tips were required separately, but no one was giving tips. When my husband gave tips to the three staff members accompanying us, they were very surprised. I wonder if very few people, especially Japanese, give tips? If that's the case, it might be better to include tips in the price.
ノースショアは、私の経験では雨が多かったので心配していましたが、とてもいい天気でした。緑いっぱいの景色が素晴らしかったです。
ジップラインは、緑の中を突っ切る感じが爽快で、すごく気持ちよかったです。8本もできて、満足しました。
ただ緑の中を滑走するだけではなく、高さや長さが異なり、滑走しながら畑を眺めたり、飽きることはありませんでした。つり橋などアスレチックスみたいなものも面白かったです。
また、手を離したり、後ろ向きにスタートしたり、逆さになったり、日本では絶対させてくれないようなことが体験できました。
日本語が話せないスタッフばかりでしたが、簡単な英語で一生懸命説明してくれました。
大満足です。
一つ気になったのは、チップが別途必要とのこたでしたが、誰もチップを渡していませんでした。主人が同行のスタッフ3人にチップを渡すととてもビックリしてました。チップを渡す人(特に日本人)はほとんどいないのではないでしょうか?それなら、チップ込みの値段設定にされた方がいいような気がします。

I wasn't confident in my physical strength and felt anxious even after signing up. However, there were no problems at all. The safety measures were excellent. Moreover, for the vertical rope climb, which I was most worried about, I could ask for help and received assistance. The log crossing, which I had previously fallen from in a Japanese athletic course, was also very safe. Even when it swayed, I was able to cross it with enjoyment. Above all, the zip line in the great outdoors was exhilarating! In the end, I even did a reverse hands-free ride, returning to my childhood and having a blast. I returned home fully satisfied, having enjoyed the sea, greenery, and blue sky.

The driver Rob was obnoxious however. He talked non stop very loudly and it was difficult to decifer what was fact and what was BS. He talked non stop about himself and we got to the PCC later than anticipated so had less time there.

The tour was okay. To begin with the driver did not wait or call us when we were at the hotel. We called the company so many times and they gave us info that the bus is late and then again in 10 minutes one says the bus left us! It was a horrible experience. I would believe they would atleast call us. But even then we tried to ask to meet the driver elsewhere to catch up on the tour and there was a long wait before they could say yes! The dispatcher lady was helpful but then the driver not so much. I didn't like how the driver kept on talking even though the crowd was asleep. Most tours I have been has a guide talking and interacting with you while the driver drives so its more fun but these have the driver drive and speak on microphone which was disappointing! The tour itself was okay because with the better tour guide it could have been much better. Do not miss the Polynesian Cultural Center. Could spend a good half a day there.

The flow from village to village with happy and friendly people made us feel happy. We learned so much from the talented performers...The canoe celebration was a treat...so very crowded for viewing, but it was the Christmas holiday break. When I think of the Polynesian Cultural Center, I will smile and remember the villages, the luau and it's good feeling and the fantastic show...Ha. Unforgettable.

At first, I was worried if it would be okay with just the pulley and rope, but I gradually got used to it and by the end, I was able to let go and enjoy the ride. The instructor was also very kind and provided great guidance. The scenery was beautiful, and I felt like I was racing through the forest. Along the way, there were spots to eat macadamia nuts, tomatoes, and apple bananas, all of which were delicious. I want to go again! 😊
最初は、滑車とロープのみで大丈夫か心配だったけど、だんだん慣れてきて最後には手を離して滑れるくらい楽しめました。
インストラクターの方も優しく指導してくれました。
景色も良く、森の中を駆け抜けている感覚が味わえました。
途中、マカデミアナッツやトマト、アップルバナナなど食べられるスポットがありどれも美味しかったです。
また行きたいです(^-^)

Everything was great from the time of arrival. We arrived a few hours early to visit the waterfall and botanical garden. Simply beautiful and peaceful. That landed us in time for the luau and we got upgraded to VIP! Warning VIP you may be asked to be part of the show but it’s all fun and games and a great hands on learning experience. Food was buffet style and also amazingly delicious. All in all a great day at a great price.
Aloha, and mahalo for your review! We are so happy to hear that the luau and the experience at the falls and the garden was fun for you. And thanks for being such a great sport! We make it a point to get our guests involved in the activities and the festivities as a whole. It may have not been more fun if not for your cooperation. Thanks again, and we hope to see you again soon!

The day after the Honolulu Marathon, I participated with two friends. I was worried about muscle pain, but I enjoyed it so much that I forgot all about it due to the refreshing feeling. There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but it was not a problem at all. They made it fun and lively. I also got to know the people in my group well, and it created wonderful memories. The zip line was amazing!! I want to participate again.
ホノルルマラソンの翌日に友達と3人で参加しました。
筋肉痛など心配でしたが、そんなことも忘れるくらいの爽快感で楽しむことができました。
日本語を話せるスタッフはいませんでしたが、全然問題ありません。楽しく盛り上げてくださいました。一緒のグループだった人達とも仲良くなれ、とてもよい思い出ができました。
ジップライン最高です!!また参加したいです。

The facilities are clean, and in between the zip line activities, there are experiences similar to an obstacle course, which were really fun! The price is a bit high with the shuttle service included, but I was extremely satisfied and highly recommend it!!

I participated with my mother (75 years old). Even seniors and beginners can enjoy a full hour and a half of horseback riding safely and happily. The female guide is very friendly. She also takes photos along the way (with your own smartphone or camera). You can experience walking on the sandy beach and through the "salad bar" (pasture, as the guide metaphorically describes it, since the horses love to eat grass), truly feeling like you're horseback riding in Hawaii! I definitely want to participate again.
母(75歳)と参加しました。
シニアで初心者でも安心に楽しく1時間半たっぷり乗馬出来ます。
ガイドの女性もとてもフレンドリーです。
途中で写真も撮ってくれます。(自分のスマフォ、又はカメラにです)
砂浜を歩いたり、サラダバー(牧草地、馬が草を食べたがるので。ガイドさんの比喩です)を歩いたりで正にハワイで乗馬してる!!という感じを体験できます。
ぜひ、また参加したいです。

PCC was a lot of fun and had so many different things to do. This was my third time coming to the center. I got there at noon, had their lunch buffet, and visited a few islands before seeing the new canoe show. Huki replaces the canoe pageant and is a lot more elaborate: there's a narration, music, and many more canoes in the water. The show as a whole is a lot more impressive, just make sure you get there early to get good seats in the shade.
After the canoe show we went to a few more villages (Samoa, Fiji, Tonga) before having our fancy prime rib dinner. I preferred the setting of the fine dining option to the luau dinner, as it was quieter and they have ice cream. Crab legs were also a bonus. After dinner, I had an hour or so to spend at the Hukilau Marketplace before the night show, so I browsed around. The night show was great. It put together things from every village presentation along with music, lights, and a longer story that connects all of it. The show is pretty long though, so use the bathroom beforehand (no intermissions).
PCC is a fun way to spend a day in Hawaii and learn a lot about Polynesian culture. Even if you've been there before like me, there's always something new to see or try!
