Disclaimer, first time I was on a horse, I doubt I was 2 years old. (That's how things are if you're ranch raised in Montana.) It's always cute to see people's reactions to their first time on a horse. Your "gallop" reminded me of a funny story where we once took a Japanese couple out on a mountain trail (15 - 20 miles of semi-wilderness). Of course when you go down a small slope, the horses go faster. And since the lady of the couple didn't speak English, I warned her by saying, "Banzai" at the first downhill. She then spoke her first English ever, "No, no, no Banzai." Every time we then got to a slope, she'd say again, "Oh no, no banzai" to her horse. (Dude ranch horse don't go faster than a trot anyway.)
Such a great story Michael! That mountain trail sounds like so much fun! But I’d definitely be gripping those reins really tight the whole way😅 mahalo!
@@AmandaFelixEats People love them. It takes about 2/3rds of a day, and usually includes a picnic lunch. Of course, none of the trails are difficult, and the horses know them very well. Just like with your little ride, each horse knows its position in line, and just follows the horse in front of it. The reins are there more to make you feel comfortable than serve any function.
Loved listening to Felix as he rode the horse 😂 and kept saying “left”. The horseback adventure is something we will have to check out. We will definitely mention you sent us! Mahalo 🌺
I always want to try horseback riding and I really hope to vacay in Hawaii next Spring/Summer. Thanks for sharing! I have been watching your blogs to research more about Oahu and what to do for vacay.
If you’re going to do a video on L and L, check out the newish location in Manoa Marketplace. They have THE BEST mochiko chicken! And while you’re at the marketplace you can do your dessert segment at Kay’s Crackseed!
Amanda!!! Thanks to us you get the invites to do fun things, you said…?!!? We are here on your efforts to bring us useful information in a real, and personable format… And that guy Felix is pretty good to. It’s on both of your work and effort that gets rewarded with invitations to share more ideas to us. ATV’ing looks fun! I wouldn’t of even thought of it while on vacations out there… now I will. That will be a lot of fun! We appreciate what you do…we love supporting small and local businesses and enjoy the uniqueness they add to our days in Oahu. See you guys again in November! Thanks! Mike and Marnie
Mahalo Mike & Marnie for the continued support and encouragement🥰 we are so grateful for our foodie ohana who follow us and allow us to live out our dreams🤙🏻 much aloha❤️
What awesome fun you guys !!! So funny Felix ...Amanda did real Good ! You two are sharing something new ...I Like it ! Mahalo for sharing to our Foodie Ohana ! The Acai Bowls look delicious !
I hope you guys took the coffee back to let them know it was salty so they could fix it. I'm sure it was a mistake. The ATV rides look fun. Back in the day we took out go carts out there, not that exact place but up closer to wahiawa where there was trails like that all over and we just went and rode our go carts all over the place. It was so fun.
Was just there last week!! Thanks to you guys I got to go to a lot of the places I wanted to!! You guys are awesome! Was hoping to run into y'all, haha! So sad to leave but will be back soon! 😀
Awesome, very informative video as always guys! I always enjoy tuning in to your videos guys...it's like we're all hanging out as friends virtually while you include us in your adventures lol love it! And love you both! Aloha 🤙🏽
Whenever I watch your videos, it always feels like we’re with you on your adventures. Love it.🙏🏻😎 I love the Lilikoi Lemon Bars from Coffee Gallery (especially when left in the freezer for about an hour…it get chewy and cold)🔥👌🏼The girls at Haleiwa Bowls are super nice…I think I went three times during my last visit. Can’t wait to be a paniolo too and try the horseback riding next month! Mahalo as always to you both for such great content! 🤙🏻😃
North Shore Stable sure has the perfect property to have horseback riding! Beautiful backdrop riding along the coast. Haleiwa Bowls is the bomb! Just gotta watch out for the live bees swarming the area!
Guys, thanks for the food, horse riding and ATV adventure. Here in Okinawa, we have an excellent ATV riding place in the mountains. Highly recommend when you guys come back to Japan!
Omg the quad bikes would be so much fun lol, I wanna so that one day. I love horses, my cousins ride them professionally and every time I see them, they are so graceful and beautiful. The food you both eat looks amazing! I’m hungry watching you guys eat 🫢
FYI there is a new Food truck at the PCC Called Kiwi Korner that has Meat Pies, had the Mince and Cheese Super Yum, flaky Crust and FULL of filling. 9bucks but worth it.
Another awesome Amanda & Felix video! Glad to see a local planting effort is underway to stop invasives! My wife and I got Crumbl Cookies last Saturday no thanks to you guys. 🤣🤣 The s'mores and apple pie were delicious! Many thanks for sharing! Have a great rest of the week, you two!
Good job. I understand exactly how Felix felt on the horse 🐎 . My feet never even reached the stirrups so I felt like I had no control over the animal. Bucket item..checked off
How does any buritto place run out of salsa??? 😳😱😄 But those burittos looked good👍🏼👍🏼 ATV’ing looks fun. I was like “boy! Gonna have to deep clean that camera!!!!” LOL Definately stopping at Haleiwa Bowl for that awsome Acai bowl for sure🤙🏼 Mahalo for the fun video. Great day ❣️❣️❣️
Felix actually ate a veggie burrito? Good job bro! I hope you guys enjoyed the Coffee Gallery! I am very finicky with my iced toddy (old school for what is referred today as “cold brew”). Another one of my favorite places for coffee is at the Hokulea Bar at the Four Seasons Ko Olina.
@@AmandaFelixEats Yep. Cholo’s has been there forever. Last time I went, da carne asada was WINNAHZ! Might be worth another cruise back to the North Shore.
What a great trip! Loved this adventure! Zip line in your list? Wink wink. We were considering ATV but they were closed due to covid last time! Wow, so are the two adventures together or were they booked separately? Looked like so much fun! Glad to see you had ppl walking alongside the horses. When I rode on horses at Dole, they said if the horse goes down on its front legs, get off and back away bc he’s gonna roll over! Whahhh ! But mine just went to sniff pineapples. The lilikoi bar at the coffee shop is bomb! My friend couldn’t stop raving about it. I wonder if they made your salted caramel coffee wrong? Didnt sound right… but your blue spirulina bowl sounded like the perfect way to end the day! Oh, on your adventure, was there bathrooms readily available? The coast looked amazing! Thank you for sharing this!!! More of these kinds of bucket trips please!👍🏿💕😀
The adventures we went on was booked together for an event but you could definitely book them together or separately on their website! Also, the bathrooms were fancy port-a-potty’s equipped with AC!😱 So glad you enjoyed this episode! Mahalo❤️🤙🏻
Acai bowls are naturally nutrient-dense, however, I thought I should tell you a little more about spirulina. It is a photosynthetic bacteria that the ancient Mesoamericans used as a protein source. They harvested the bacteria from Lake Texcoco and made it into pressed cakes. Dried spirulina contains 60% protein and is an ecologically sound food source because it doesn't require large resources of land and water. The UN is studying it to combat malnutrition.
When i was on vacation in Waikiki I forgot to go to Costco. Can you do a Costco particularly the Costco cafe. I know McDonald’s had a spam breakfast that was special to Hawaii
WoW, LAU LAU. Now Amanda in the Midweek!!! I too (was) a fan of Mint Chocolate Chip. BUT, NO LIKE 31 anymore. (No Mo much Chocolate Chips) I hate when they change the recipes or change an ingredient, like Leonard's Malasada (not eggy anymore) or Kamehameha Bakery Taro Doughnut. (Pale purplish/gray) not deep vibrant purple.
Did they build over the graveyard? Cause there’s a big one right there also a children graveyard. And a large Asian section with a large statue. Hmmm I hope it’s not builded over.
