My wife and I went on an amazing first time horse ride. I would like to especially like to thank GRACE. She was patient and kind. My wife was very scared but she put her at ease and made her very comfortable. We had an amazing ride well worth the money! The instructions were easy to understand and to apply. The scenery was beautiful with views of the ocean and mountains. The horses were beautiful and gentle. We went up and down the trails which made the trails more enjoyable.Even the drive out to the ranch was spectacular which added to an amazing time. Thank you Grace we will definetly recommend the Ranch to everyone we know.

In the wide grasslands, I leisurely enjoyed time with my horse and friends. From the top of the hill, I could see Turtle Bay. The guide was also very kind and provided great assistance.

Horseback riding in the magnificent scenery was amazing! The horse was a bit of a foodie, stopping to eat grass along the way, but overall, they were all well-behaved and walked along without much need for steering, so you can participate with peace of mind.
雄大な景色の中の乗馬最高でした!食いしん坊なお馬さんで途中で草食べたり、止まっちゃったりしましたが、基本はみんなお利口さんにで特に操縦しなくても歩いてくれるので安心して参加してください。

I tried to go to Kualoa Ranch, but I couldn't make a reservation. So, I participated in this instead. Since there was no shuttle service, I was unsure how to get there, but I took a bus to the North Shore and enjoyed it thoroughly. Calling an Uber for a taxi was quick. Riding horses while gazing at the quiet sea without any tourists was elegant! Afterward, I was even allowed to feed the horses bananas.
クアロア牧場に行こうとしましたが、予約取れず。こちらに参加しました。送迎がないのでどう行こうか迷いましたが、ノースショアまでバスでノースショアを満喫しUberでタクシー呼んだらすぐでした。観光客のいない静かな海を眺めながらゆったり乗馬は優雅でした!終わった後に馬にバナナあげたりとかもさせてくれました。

My wife and I did this ride with our 2 kids ages 10 and 12. The ride was super easy with incredible views. The horses are super calm and barely move when getting on and off them. They are very well trained which makes the ride very pleasant and enjoyable. At times I felt like the horse just knew what to do with little instructions from me. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed the scenery of the mountains and the seemingly endless amount of open land which surrounded us as we walked through the trail. The trail included walking up and down beautiful hills, under and around shady trees, all at a pace which was relaxing yet exciting. I can't say enough about this establishment and would recommend any family to visit this ranch.
Mahalo for choosing to ride at Gunstock Ranch. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your ride. We hope you will come again soon.

My husband and I and our 2 kids age 10 and 12 set out from k'Olina area to the ranch. I have to say the drive was amazing. Great views, beach pull off spots, food trucks and we also stopped off at a coffee farm on the way. Once at Gunstock Ranch the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The horses were incredibly trained and easy to ride. The horses were very very very calm and I would trust my 91 year old grandmother could ride them and be just fine. The place was very clean and the horses very well kept after. Hardly any bugs at all, although we did put bug spray on us before hand just incase. I saw beautiful butterflies during the ride on beautiful lush natural trees and bushes. Seriously the views looked like movie sets and later we learned filming was done there in the past. The ride was easy, smooth and very very enjoyable. The scenery was incredible. We rode so close to cows big ones and baby ones. They were very calm and I was happy to know the cattle ranch does not brand their cattle but tag them with numbers. The people at this ranch really do take care of the horses. It's extremely apparent the amazing caring hands these horses are in. You do not need any prior experience at all to do this excursion and I highly highly recommend them over any other ranch in the area. We have done family trail rides before but this one was the best! When we return to Oahu we will be back.
Mahalo for your review Michele! We take great pride in the care of our horses and our ranch, we are so glad you had an amazing time! We hope to see you and your family again soon!

The only available course was in the morning, so I made an effort to wake up early and drove from Waikiki. It was pouring rain around Kualoa Ranch in the morning, and I was worried it might get canceled, but the locals didn't seem to mind at all and proceeded with the check-in process. After confirming how to ride the horses with the Japanese instructions, I quickly got on the horse.
The warm body temperature was comforting, and I was first impressed by the completely different sensation compared to riding something inanimate. The tour was filled with a sense of adventure as we went down paths that were more rugged than I expected. The instructor who accompanied us didn’t just walk ahead; she moved around behind us, actively engaging with everyone in the group.
I made the right choice by signing up for the two-hour course! The view from the high ground of Kualoa Ranch was amazing, the air in the lush forest was refreshing, and everything felt wonderful. If I get the chance to come back to Hawaii, I will definitely repeat this experience.
朝一のコースしか空いておらず、頑張って早起きしてワイキキから車で向かいました。朝クアロアランチ周辺は大雨で、中止になるんじゃないかとヒヤヒヤしましたが、現地の人たちは全く気にせずチェックイン手続きをしてくれました。日本語版の説明で馬の乗り方を確認した後、すぐに馬の背中へ。
温かい体温が心地よくて、無機物に乗る感覚とは全く違う感覚にまず感動。ツアーは思った以上に道なき道を進むアドベンチャー感満載でした。一人付いてくれたインストラクターのおねえさんも、ずっと前を歩くのではなく、後ろに回ったり足繁く動きながらグループ全員に声をかけてくれました。
二時間コースに申し込んで大正解!クアロアランチの高台から眺める最高の景色、しっとりとした森の中の空気、全てが気持ちよかったです。またハワイに来れたら、リピートします。

My family and I have been on several horseback riding tours, and this one was certainly one of the best. For one, the staff were great! They were very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel like we were in good hands.The horses were extremely sweet and well-trained too. Additionally, the actual ranch where the riding took place was absolutely beautiful! We saw everything from a rare cave, to an amazing view of the ocean, which made for a bunch of great photo opportunities. I would definitely recommend horseback riding at Gunstock Ranch to anyone in Oahu looking for a change of pace from the typical beach scene of Hawaii.

I was a bit anxious since I had only done horseback riding when I was little, but the staff were very kind and friendly in teaching me, which was great. In the group with many Japanese people, there were those who could speak Japanese to assist us.
This tour, where you can enjoy beautiful scenery while horseback riding and spend time with cute and gentle horses, is something I would love to join again.
I thought the early start time was a bit sleepy, but it turned out to be a great decision! By the time we were leaving, it was quite crowded. It was my first time in Hawaii, and it became a wonderful memory.

We were in Hawaii for our honeymoon and wanted to do something adventurous so we decided to go to Gunstock Ranch for some horseback riding. The booking was really easy and I received a call an hour later with confirmation of my purchase. Shortly after I received an email with the confirmation details and directions to the ranch. The process went really smooth. The route out to the ranch along highway 83 was absolutely spectacular! It goes right along the ocean coast with gorgeous views and the splashing water literally hits your car as you drive by because your so close. The ranch was very nice, easy to get to with a super friendly staff. There are restrooms which were very clean for being outdoors along with sinks to wash your hands afterwards. Plenty of parking.
They take safety precautions when mounting and unmounting the horses. They recommend that you wear a helmet also but you can sign a waiver if you choose not to. The horses are really friendly and very well trained. The trails are absolutely beautiful as you leave the ranch, enter into the mountain side, through forests, up and down hills, and a view of the ocean off in the distance. You get to see the cattle, and the baby calves as you ride. Leanna was our guide and she was very knowledgeable about the ranch, the area, and the horses. I could see her love for them and she was very friendly and made sure everyone in our group was doing good and having a great time. She recommended many things to do on the island and was very helpful answering any questions we had along the way. We had a great time and recommend Gunstock Ranch to anyone who is looking for a great horseback riding experience!
Thank you so much for your review!
We truly appreciate the great time you had here at our ranch, and we hope to see you soon!

I was a bit anxious about my first horseback riding experience, but I was able to watch a Japanese DVD, which made me feel at ease and enjoy it. The vast grounds were very pleasant. However, since we were outside for an hour and the horses move slowly, the same spots were exposed to UV rays for a long time. Sun protection is essential. I ended up getting a bad sunburn on my shoulders. Ladies, please be careful.

I was torn between another seaside horseback riding experience with VELTRA. The deciding factor was the duration. I thought it would feel long at two hours, but it went by in no time.
At times, they cheered us on with familiar English phrases like "enjoy!?" so I didn't understand most of the guide's explanations, but that made me feel the essence of Hawaii, so I was satisfied!
It was my first time horseback riding, but the well-behaved horses took care of me, and whenever one got a bit mischievous and I had trouble handling it, the staff quickly came over to show me how to handle the reins, so I was totally fine.
I rented a car and first stopped to eat the famous malasadas at Leonard's. From there, I set the Polo Club in the car navigation, but it didn't work well. In the end, I relied on Google Maps. I'm glad I rented a Wi-Fi device.
At first, I reacted too quickly to the word "POLO" and ended up going in the wrong direction. I didn't read "NEXT GATE."
I regrouped and headed to the NEXT GATE, looking for the red building based on the photos from the experience. It turned out to be peppermint green!
However, I arrived too early—two hours ahead of time…
I parked the car, but there was nowhere nearby to kill time. The beach was close, but it was too hot to stay there!
I took refuge in a nearby shopping center. It's a good idea to search for places where you can park and use the restroom in advance.

乗馬は初めてだったけど、基本お利口なお馬さんが連れてってくれるし、途中やんちゃさんで扱いに困るとすぐ、スタッフが駆けつけて手綱のやり方の見本を横で見せてくれるから、全然大丈夫でした。

At North Shore, most of the riders were Westerners, and there were few Japanese people. I couldn't forget the horseback riding at Turtle Bay, so this time I decided to try the Hawaii Polo Club. This club trains retired polo horses for riding. The horse I rode was gentle and easy to ride. We set off with a group of six: four Western families, one solo Western rider, and me! It was a bit windy, but walking near the ocean was very pleasant. I was a little disappointed that we couldn't canter. It's about a 15 to 20-minute taxi ride from the town of Haleiwa towards Mokuleia Beach. Since there is no shuttle service, it's convenient to go by rental car. I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii.
ノースショアは、乗馬してる人は欧米人ばかりで、日本人は少ないです。タートルベイでの乗馬が忘れられず、今回はHawaii Polo Clubに行ってみました。ここはPolo競技を引退した馬を乗馬用に調教して乗せてくれるクラブでした。私が乗った馬も穏やかで安心して乗れる馬でした。欧米人の家族連れ4人とお一人様欧米人と私の6名で出発!少し風が強かったですが、すぐ側に海が迫っている場所を歩くのは、とても気持ち良かったです。駈歩はさせてくれないのが少し残念でした。ハレイワの町からタクシーでモクレイアビーチ方面に向かって15分〜20分位の場所です。送迎無しなのでレンタカーで行くの
が便利です。またハワイに来たら行きたいです。

I wanted to experience horseback riding in a breathtaking setting, so I visited Kualoa just for that. It seems that the routes for the one-hour course and the two-hour course are completely different. I participated in the one-hour course, but I can't help but wonder if the two-hour course offers even more stunning views. I felt that the one-hour course was a bit lacking. Since we just walked slowly behind the horse in front of us, I ended up feeling sleepy along the way. (Though it was pleasant in its own way...) If I have the chance next time, I definitely want to challenge myself with the two-hour course.

On my second trip to Hawaii, I wanted to enjoy more than just the beach, so I joined this tour.
Once on the horse, you have to control it mostly by yourself. About 15 of us form a line, but there are only three staff members scattered in the front, back, and middle, so it can be quite challenging if your horse strays from the line! (Before riding, they show you an instructional video.)
I was lucky that the foreign lady in front of me was experienced with horseback riding. When my horse tried to stray off the path to eat grass, she gave me advice on how to hold the reins, which made me feel more confident even when the staff weren't around.
As I got used to it, I was able to enjoy the scenery, and it was a lot of fun!
You can also reach Kualoa Ranch by bus from Waikiki!

I arrived about 40 minutes ago, and the staff was already waiting. There were only two groups of four people for the horseback riding at 1:30 PM: my husband and I, and a group of foreign women. I thought we would go together, but we ended up on separate courses and never saw each other, which made it feel exclusive. The horse was very intelligent and well-groomed, so I felt safe and enjoyed myself. The guide couldn't speak Japanese, but she engaged with us, which was fun. And above all, the location nestled between the mountains and the sea was perfect. I was able to relax and had a wonderful time.

At first, I was torn between the 2-hour course and the 1-hour course, but after seeing other people's reviews, I chose the 1-hour course and had plenty of fun! If I had chosen the 2-hour course, I might have gotten bored because it would have been too long...
The horseback riding course does not include transportation from Waikiki, so I was a bit anxious about getting there on my own, but if you act early and give yourself enough time, it's totally fine.
It really became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!

I was moved by the grandeur that you can’t experience in Japan. The horses were smart and already knew the course so well that they sometimes stopped to eat grass, but if you call out "NO! DON'T!" they lift their heads right away. They are all gentle horses suitable for beginners, so it's reassuring. It might be a bit lacking for those who have experience riding. However, one challenging part was the anxiety of getting there… Since there was no shuttle service, I had to figure out how to take Bus 55 from Waikiki to Ala Moana to Kamehameha Highway, which took about an hour and a half to get to Kualoa Ranch. I think the nervous excitement leading up to that was a good memory in a way! I'm really glad I chose this experience.
甥っ子2人を引き連れて2時間コースに参加!
山に谷に海に 爽やかな風に吹かれながら 乗馬が出来るのは とても気持ちが 良かったです! 日本では、絶対に味わえない 壮大さに感動しました。 お馬さんも賢くて もはや 人が操らなくても コースを熟知してて、時々草を食べることもありますが すぐに NO! DONT! と声をかければ顔を上げてくれます。初心者向けの優しいお馬さんばかりなので安心です。 乗馬体験のある人には少し物足りないかもです。 ただ、ひとつ 大変だったのは到着するまでの不安… 送迎なしのブランだったので、自力で調べワイキキ アラモアナからザ バス55番に乗ってカメハメハハイウェイー行き クアロアランチまで、約1時間半かけて行きました。 それまでのハラハラドキドキもある意味 いい思い出かな?と思ってます♪
このブランを選んで本当に良かったです。

I went with the first reservation of the day. I drove there with a rental car, and the location was very easy to find. There wasn't anyone at the reception who spoke Japanese, but showing the voucher was no problem at all. We waited until our scheduled time. You can buy drinks and snacks, and there are plenty of chairs for resting.
They ask you to store your belongings in a locker (it costs $5, and you get back $3 or $2 later), so if you keep your items to just a camera that you can hang around your neck and a wallet, you won't spend unnecessary money.
The horses are very calm, and I think people from children to relatively older adults can enjoy it. It's a leisurely walk that might make your inner thighs a little sore after an hour, but it's quite safe.
We had to wait for about 20 to 30 minutes until everyone was on a horse, so I ended up getting quite sunburned. Also, my clothes became very horse-smelling, so please wear clothes that you don't mind getting that way.
朝一番の予約で行きました。レンタカーで行きましたが、場所はとても分かりやすく、受付に日本語を話せる方はいませんでしたが、バウチャーを見せれば全く問題なし。時間まで待機。飲み物や軽食を買えるし、休憩だけでも椅子もたくさんあります。
ロッカーに荷物を預けるように言われるので(5ドルで後で3ドル?2ドル?戻ります)荷物は首からかけられるカメラやお財布程度にしておけば無駄にお金はかからないです。
馬はとてもとおとなしく、お子様から比較的ご年配の方まで楽しめると思います。1時間でちょっと内モモが痛いかな?というくらいの散歩程度で安心です。
全員馬に乗るまでひたすら20~30分待機、その後出発でしたのでかなり日に焼けてしまいました。後、服がとても馬臭くなりましたのでそうなっても良い服で行ってくださいネ。
