The horses were bigger than I expected, which scared me at first, but the staff gently led me around and I soon got used to them.
The course was a slow walk along the beach, and the sound of the waves and the breeze were most pleasant!
The ahi poke we had in Haleiwa afterwards was so fresh it was a shock.... We also saw two sea turtles up close, and I took a lot of pictures. Next time, I hope to see them at sunset time!
