We are a family of five. My wife and I (over 60), our two sons, and our daughter are all adults, but we were nervous about our first horseback riding experience. However, seeing a child around seven years old riding before us made us feel at ease. The location has a sign on the left side of Route 83, and if you turn left, it's right there. You can also see the ranch along the road. The office is the meeting place, but there are no signs inside the ranch, so we went towards the back where there was a building, and we found a small office in a place with a few parked cars. There was no permanent staff, and after the previous riding group returned, the guide helped us with the check-in. During the one-hour ride, we climbed hills and maneuvered through trees, and everyone was satisfied. It was okay to ride with a small shoulder bag or pouch. Unfortunately, there was no horseback riding by the beach.
家族5人です。妻と私(60歳以上)・息子2人・娘1人全員大人ですが初乗馬ドキドキしていましたが、1組前に7歳くらいの子供が乗っていたのを見て安心しました。場所はルート83の左側に案内看板があり左折すればすぐです。道路沿いにも牧場が見えます。オフイスが集合場所となっていますが、牧場内に案内看板はなく、とりあえず建物がある奥へ行き、数台駐車している場所があったので行くと、そこに小さな小屋のようなオフイスがありました。常設の係員はいなく、前の乗馬組が戻ってからそのガイドの方が受付をしてくれました。1時間の乗馬で牧場内の丘を登ったり、木の間をすり抜けたりみんな満足していました。小さなショルダーバック・ポーチはつけたままでも乗馬OKでした。残念ながら海辺の乗馬はありませんでした。

The boat was tied up and swayed more than I expected because people were moving inside the cage. Even I, who have never been seasick, ended up vomiting. My friend felt so sick even after taking three motion sickness pills that they couldn't participate. Several others also vomited. Aside from that, it was the best experience. The sharks showed no interest in us and were not scary at all. Next time, I want to take motion sickness pills and try again.
船は止まった状態でケージにつながれており、ケージの中で人が動くため、想像以上に揺れます。船酔いしたことのない私でも吐きました。友人は酔い止め3錠のんでも気分が悪すぎて、参加できずでした。他にも何人か吐いていました。それ以外は最高の体験でした。サメは全くこちらに興味はなく、怖くありません。今度は酔い止めを飲んで、やってみたいです。

Our guides we're very sweet and helpful with guidance, I thought we would have more time to ride on the beach but it was very short towards the end. It's more of a quick trail ride on the forest area with a view of the beach, but obviously that's not the guides fault. Great for a first time experience!

I had a mix of no riding experience and a little bit, so I chose the 1 hour and 30 minutes course to fully enjoy horseback riding. The weather was nice, and the beautiful grasslands and mountains were a sight to behold. Along the way, I could also see the ocean, and while enjoying the magnificent scenery of Hawaii, I felt like a cowboy holding the reins.
Emily, who led us the whole time, shared interesting stories about the ranch and occasionally mentioned the cows and calves we saw. My daughter acted as an interpreter, which helped me understand everything. The horses were impressive, and the saddles were comfortable. Each horse had its own personality (there were six of us participating), and we had a lot of fun.
As someone with a bit of riding experience, I definitely want to participate in a course here where I can gallop again!

It was my first time riding a horse, along with my 9-year-old daughter and my husband, aside from pony rides. However, the hour and a half flew by. The spacious ranch had remnants of an old rodeo arena, irrigation from sugarcane fields, and what seemed to be a weapons storage or air raid shelter used during World War II. They explained everything slowly and kindly, even to Japanese people who don't speak much English.
As we climbed the hill, we could see the ocean, and there were very old horses (34 and 36 years old, while the average lifespan is 25 to 30 years) leisurely spending time with younger horses. Wild pigs, cows, donkeys, goats, sheep, dogs, and chickens all looked happy.
The horses were smart, gentle, and safe. It was truly a valuable experience. I would love to go again.
9歳の娘と夫婦とも、引き馬以外では初乗馬。でも、1時間半があっと言う間でした。広い牧場には昔のロデオアリーナ、さとうきび畑の灌漑の名残、第二次大戦に使われた武器庫?防空壕?などがあり、英語はあまり出来ない日本人にもゆっくり丁寧に説明してくれました。
丘を登ると海が見渡せ、超高齢馬(34と36歳、普通寿命は25〜30年)が若い馬とのんびり過ごしていたり、野生の豚、牛、ロバ、ヤギ、羊、犬、ニワトリなどがみんな幸せそうに見えました。
馬達も賢く優しくて安全です。本当に貴重な体験でした。またぜひ行きたいです。

I heard about the new zipline attraction in Hawaii and was looking forward to it as the main event of my short trip. After driving about 10 minutes from Kualoa Ranch and turning left at a small sign, I found a new facility that still felt fresh.
Thanks to the latest equipment, we checked in and confirmed our agreement to the safety regulations using a touch panel on the wall (in English), stored our belongings, weighed ourselves, and put on safety belts. Our group consisted of 10 guests and 3 zipline staff, and we had a great time throughout. I really felt that if I had been more proficient in English, I could have enjoyed it even more. Being able to speak English would have allowed me to joke around with the staff during the zipline and engage in conversations with the other group members, making for an even more enjoyable experience! However, even without English skills, the attraction is so exhilarating that there's no doubt you'll have fun!!
The zipline allows you to glide while safely suspended by ropes, which may not be suitable for those who are afraid of heights, but it gives you the feeling of being Tarzan in the great outdoors, allowing you to fully enjoy the sea and mountains of Hawaii! The staff also took fun photos during the attraction, which you can purchase later, so it's okay if you forget your camera and still want to participate in the attraction.
If I have the chance, I would definitely like to join again!!
ハワイで新アトラクションとして登場したジップラインと聞き、今回の短期旅行のメインイベントとして楽しみにしていました。
クアロア牧場より車でさらに10分くらい行ったところで小さな看板を左折すると、その先に広がるのは、まだ新しさを感じさせる新施設がありました。
最新設備のため壁に付いたタッチパネルで受付や安全規約への同意確認をし(英語です)、荷物を預け、体重測定をして安全ベルトを装着しました。我々お客10人とジップラインのスタッフ3人が1グループで行動し、終始楽しく遊べました。受付からジップラインの終わりまで「英語が堪能だったらもっともっと楽しめたんだろうなぁ」と痛感しました。英語ができれば冗談を言いながらジップライン中のスタッフとも、一緒になったグループのメンバーとも会話が弾みより楽しい時間を過ごせたと思います!ただ、英語が出来なくても、アトラクションが爽快なので楽しめること間違いなしです!!
ジップラインは安全を確保された中でロープで吊るされて滑り、高いところが苦手な人は不向きですが、大自然の中でターザンになったような気分でハワイの海と山を満喫できす!
アトラクション中の楽しいところをスタッフのカメラで撮っておいてくれて、後で購入することもできるので、カメラを忘れてアトラクションに参加しても大丈夫です。
機会があれば、ぜひまた参加したいです!!

It was my first time horseback riding, and I was very satisfied after just one hour. Before the ride, there was an explanation in English, but it included gestures, so even if you don't understand English, you can somewhat grasp the information. There were other participants (foreigners) besides us, and we had a group of five plus one guide for the ride. During the ride, the guide spoke to us in slow English (asking things like where we were from). They were very kind, which was great. At one point, the horse stopped moving, but the guide handled it well. It was cloudy that day, but the greenery made for a very pleasant experience. It's a bit far from Waikiki, but I recommend it for beginners.
初めての乗馬でしたが、1時間で大満足でした。
乗馬の前に英語での説明がありますが、ジェスチャーが入るので、英語が分からなくても何となく理解できます。
私たち以外にも参加者(外国の方)がいて5名+ガイド1名での乗馬となりました。乗馬中、ガイドの方がゆっくりとした英語で話しかけてくれました。(何処から来たの?等)優しい方で良かったです。途中、馬が動かなくなってしまいましたが、しっかりガイドの方が対応してくれました。
当日は曇り空でしたが、緑が多くとても気持ちが良い体験となりました。
ワイキキからは少し遠いですが、初心者の方にもおすすめです。

I took my daughter on a ride at gunstock ranch as a 12th birthday gift. We arrived 40 mins before check in and watched the horses get saddled up, and had a chance to see the newborn baby sheep! The guide, Garrett, was incredibly friendly and more then happy to answer all her questions and calm her nerves before the ride began. The 600 acre, family owned ranch is absolutely gorgeous! Amazing views the whole hour. Caves that have been used for TV scenes, big open fields of cattle, wild boars running around, rainbow etc. I would definitely return for more rides in the future, and will be recommending it to all my friends!

This was my second visit to Gunstock Ranch. This time, I mistakenly entered "Kahuku" instead of "Lai'e" into the rental car's navigation system, so I got quite lost before arriving... Upon arrival, I signed the liability waiver, had my luggage stored, and borrowed a helmet before heading out for horseback riding! The course was supposed to be one hour, but I think we ended up riding for over an hour. Last time, we had photos taken at the photo points, but this time, since the Travel Maker's donkey was with us (laughs), the staff member seemed to forget about taking pictures, so we didn't get any... However, the horses were all smart and gentle, making for a very pleasant riding experience. I would love to experience horseback riding here again on my next trip to Hawaii.
2度目のガンストック牧場。
今回はレンタカーのカーナビ入力で「ライエ」ではなく間違って「カフク」にしてしまったのでだいぶ迷いながら到着しました・・・
到着すると免責書類にサインをし、荷物を預かってもらい、ヘルメットを貸してもらいいざ乗馬!!
1時間コースでしたが1時間以上乗馬をしていたかと思います。
前回は写真ポイントで写真を撮って頂いたのですが、今回はトラベルメーカーのロバちゃん(笑)もついてきていたので、スタッフのお姉さんも写真のことを忘れていたのか、写真は撮って頂けませんでした・・・
しかし馬たちもかしこく大人しい馬ばかりでとても気持ちが良い乗馬体験が出来ました。

I chose Gunstock Ranch from the many horseback riding plans available. Since I don't know about other horseback riding experiences, I can't compare, but I truly recommend Gunstock Ranch. First of all, the horses are calm and easy to ride. I had no anxiety at all. I didn't understand the English explanations very well, but it's reassuring even for first-timers. And above all, the course is fantastic. There are mountains and the sea, so I wasn't bored from start to finish. This time, I took the one-hour course, and I think it's just the right amount of time. If it were any longer, my legs might get tired...
たくさんある乗馬プランの中から、このガンストック牧場を選びました。他の乗馬を知らないので、比べられませんが、ガンストック牧場は本当にお勧めです。まずは馬がおとなしくて乗りやすいです。全く不安がありませんでした。英語の説明はよくわかりませんでしたが、初めての方でも安心です。そして何よりもコースが最高です。山あり海ありで、最初から最後まで退屈しませんでした。今回は1時間コースでしたが、調度良い時間だと思います。それ以上長いと足が疲れてしまうかも・・・。
