Oahu
It was a private experience just for us! This was my second time riding, but this one was the best! The sunset viewed from the sandy beach is an unforgettable memory! I recommend going by car, though. It was a tough rural town without transportation, haha. We used Uber! The driver was a nice person and waited for us until we were done. It's better to go with plenty of time to spare. By the way, it's almost completely dark at night since there are hardly any streetlights.
私たちだけの貸し切りでした!乗馬2回目でしたが、こっちのが最高でした!砂浜から見る夕焼けは忘れられない思い出です!
ただ車で行くことをお勧めします。足がないと厳しい田舎町でした笑私たちはUber使用しました!運転手さんが良い人で終わるまで待っててくれました。時間に余裕を持って行った方が良いです。ちなみに夜はほぼ街頭がないので真っ暗です。
I had an absolutely amazing time! (laughs)
I was quite nervous at first, but thanks to the kind staff, I was able to ride without any issues after just a 5-minute briefing. There were ups and downs, and suddenly we passed through a tunnel in the forest that felt like something out of My Neighbor Totoro, riding on horseback. We climbed rocky areas while keeping an eye on free-range cows—it was quite an adventure! Surprisingly, my backside didn't hurt much at all. I kept saying how fun and interesting it was, and even though the experience was supposed to last an hour, they let us ride for about an hour and a half!
They only spoke English, but they talked slowly and clearly, which actually made it feel more authentic. There were just the two of us and another group, so it felt like a private experience! It had more of a Western vibe than a Hawaiian one, though... (laughs)
Above all, the horses were great, and the danger level was zero (☆∀☆). My wife, who doesn't like animals, was able to pet them normally and felt comfortable! If you sign a waiver for accidents beforehand, you can ride without a helmet (laughs). This explanation was a bit complicated, though...
It was truly a wonderful experience that made me feel like I had the great outdoors all to myself and made me love horses even more!
メチャクチャ楽しんでしまいました!(笑)
自分自身、最初だいぶ緊張してましたが
優しいスタッフのおかげで
レクチャー5分 難なく乗馬して
山あり、谷あり 、
突然
森の中のトトロのアーチばりの林のトンネルを馬ごと通り抜けたり、 放し飼いの牛を横目に岩場を登ったり かなりなアドベンチャーでしたが
お尻もたいして痛くならず
楽しい、面白い、を連発したら
体験1時間のはずが
1時間半くらい乗馬させてくれてました!!
英語しか通じないですが
ゆっくり、分かりやすく話してくれるので
逆に本場感があります。
お客も私たち二人ともう一組で貸し切り状態でした☆
ハワイと言うよりウエスタン感が強めですが…(笑)
何より馬たちがいいコで
危険度ゼロ( ☆∀☆)
動物嫌いな嫁も フツーに撫で撫でして
仲良しな感じになれます‼️
ヘルメットも事前の事故承諾のサインすれば
フツーにノーヘルです(笑)
この説明がちょっと難解でした…
本当に大自然を独り占めと
さらに馬が好きになる 素敵な体験でした!
ガンストックランチでのライドに参加していただきありがとうございます!マハロ!
Thank you for coming on a ride with us here at Gunstock Ranch! Mahalo!
Enjoyed the dinner buffet, would probably only recommend maybe a start time a little earlier like 3 p.m. This would allow everyone a chance to enjoy to cruise during daylight before the dinner start.
This was a great experience the food, view and dancing. So well worth it would do it again.
We participated as a family. The instructor was friendly and had a great personality. We have done several horseback riding experiences in Hawaii, but the trail along the shoreline was our first time, and it was truly moving.
家族で参加しました。インストラクターの先生が気さくな感じの良い先生でした。ハワイでいくつか乗馬体験をやりましたが、波打ち際のトレイルは初めで、感動しました。
私の3歳の子供と私にとって素晴らしい体験でした。39分間でしたが、友好的な馬たちと美しい農場を回ることができました。スタッフもとても親切で、貴重な瞬間を楽しむことができました。家族と一緒に子供たちを再び連れて行きたいと思います。彼らの素晴らしいおもてなしに感謝します。
It was great experience for my 3 years old kid and myself. It was just 39 min, but we could ride around beautiful farm with fiendly horses.
Staff was quite nice and we could enjoy the prescious moment. I will take my kids back again with family.
Appreciate their great hospitality.
マハロ(ありがとう)レビューをいただきありがとうございます!ガンストックランチでの体験を楽しんでいただけたことをとても嬉しく思います。私たちは、皆さんに私たちのランチと馬を見ていただけることを喜んでいます!またのご来店をお待ちしております!
Mahalo for your review! we are so glad you enjoyed your experience with us here at Gunstock Ranch, we are happy to share our ranch and horses with everyone to see! we hope you come again!
I chose a private course because I wanted to canter, having some experience in horseback riding. However, due to the impact of a recent typhoon, I had to cross a small river to get to the area where the horses could run. The horses couldn't cross, so I thought, "No way!" and decided to get a refund. As a result, I ended up on the same course as the complete beginners. I would have appreciated a heads-up before the tour started, letting us know there would be areas where we couldn't run. Moreover, it was a hot day, and the female staff had a sour expression, which made the experience feel unpleasant.
乗馬の経験があるためキャンターをしたかったので、プライベートコースを選びました。ですが、少し前の台風の影響もあり、馬の走れるスペースに行くのには 、小さな川を渡らなければいけないと、、。馬には渡れないは、で
no way!でリファンンドするからいいわよね。で、まるきり体験コースの
方々と同じコースへ。ツアーが始まる前に、走れない箇所があるけど
どうしますか?ぐらいの連絡はいただきたかったですね。しかも、その日暑くてスタッフの女子は仏頂面で感じ悪かったです。
It was a 1.5-hour horseback ride, but considering it took us 2 hours to get there from Waikiki, it ended up being just 1.5 hours of riding through the forest, which got boring halfway through.
1.5時間の乗馬でしたが、ワイキキから2時間かけて行った割に
森の中をただひたすら乗馬するだけの1.5時間だったので途中で飽きてしまいました。
アロハ、あなたが乗車や景色を楽しめなかったと聞いて残念です。1.5時間の乗車は、山を通り、島のウィンドワード側を見るための有名な山頂へ向かいますが、ほとんどの人はその景色を楽しんでいます。フィードバックをありがとうございます。マハロ。
Aloha, We are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the ride or the views. The 1.5 ride is through the mountains to our famous mountaintop to see the Windward side of the island and most people enjoy the views. Thank you for the feedback. Mahalo
During my trip to Hawaii, I participated in horseback riding along the beach at Hawaii Polo Club's North Shore. This was my second time riding since my experience at Kualoa Ranch, but the location was different, and it felt wonderful to ride along the coastal course while enjoying the gentle sea breeze. We got caught in the rain for a bit, but thanks to that, we were lucky enough to see a rainbow. The horses were well-trained, so there’s no need to worry even if you're a beginner. I highly recommend everyone to join and experience this wonderful feeling!
今回ハワイ旅行で、ハワイポロクラプのノースショアの海辺を乗馬に参加しました。
乗馬は、クアロアランチで体験して以来2回目でしたが、クアロアランチとはまた違うロケーションで、のんびり潮風にあたりながらめぐる海辺のコースはとても気持ち良かったです。
途中雨に降られましたが、おかげで虹も見ることが出来てラッキーでした。
乗せてもらう馬もよく調教されており、初心者でも全く心配はいりません。
皆さんもぜひ参加して、この気持ち良さ味わってください‼️
My wife, grandmother, and our children aged 4 and 6 participated. The scenery was wonderful, and the teacher was very cheerful. It seems like it became a great memory.
4歳と6歳の子供と妻と祖母が参加しました。景色が素晴らしく、先生もとてもあかるい。
良い思い出になったみたいです。
ガンストックランチでのユニークなポニーロ ride にご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。お楽しみいただけたことを嬉しく思います。またのご来店をお待ちしております!

My granddaughter and new husband were so thrilled and surprised to receive the leis upon arrival. It was easy to book and worked perfectly.
Aloha Carol! Much mahalo to you for taking the time to inform us of your granddaughter's lei greeting experience! We continue to provide aloha as much as we can, and we truly hope she and her husband have a marvelous honeymoon vacation!
Mahalo Nui!

Amazing experience. Everyone was supper nice and the entertainment was amazing as well
Wonderful evening on the Star of Honolulu! Entertainment & music was fantastic! A huge thank you to all the entertainers, staff, musicians, crew & captain of the ship! Our wait staff, Nicole was exceptional! They all made our evening memorable!
I don't like being told how much to write or to do so at all. The cruise was fine
You can go horseback riding in the great nature of Hawaii, even as a beginner. The scenery is wonderful, and I was truly moved.
The guide was very kind and attentive.
I recommend scheduling a morning horseback ride that allows you to plan for an afternoon drive with a rental car.
ハワイの大自然の中を初心者でも乗馬できます。景色も素晴らしく、感動しました。
ガイドさんもとても優しく、丁寧です。
レンタカーでのドライブと、午後からの予定も組める午前中の乗馬をおすすめします。
レビューをありがとうございます!ガンストックランチでの乗馬にお越しいただき、心から感謝しています。私たちのランチと馬を共有できてとても嬉しいです!またのご来訪をお待ちしております!
改めて、ありがとうございました。

Thank you again,
Gunstock Ranch Staff
Great food and entertainment, staff was very friendly and service was excellent
My family and I had a great time with star of Honolulu!! Tyler was great in serving us and he was always making sure we were all fine!!!
For me , this activity is a must to do every time we come to Oahu!!!
I was able to ride horses privately, so I received instruction that matched my level. Additionally, the lunch at the mountain top was excellent in both food and view. The view from the handmade swing was also exceptional!
プライベートで乗馬出来たので、レベルにあった指導をして頂けました。また、山頂での昼食は、料理、眺めが最高でした。また、手作りブランコから見る眺めも格別でした!
私たちと一緒に乗っていただき、素晴らしいレビューをありがとうございます!
Mahalo for riding with us and for the great review!
Our famiy group of 9 arrived at HNL airport after a 9 hour flight from Minnesota. It was very special to be met by our 2 friendly greeters in their purple shirts. It was the first visit to Hawaii for several in our group and the traditional lei greeting was essential. The flowers were beautiful and the women’s leis were full and fragrant. The leaves in the men’s leis were a striking contrast to the flowers. The greeters were very helpful in taking our picture and guiding us to baggage and rental cars. I’m glad I arranged this special event for my family.
Aloha Susan! It was such a pleasure working with you to confirm the lei greeting. It is most valuable to have such wonderful feedback, for we strive to provide excellence in our products and aloha all around. Your greeters, Shary and Relyn, will be notified of your beautiful review and family photo. We hope to serve you again in the near future!
Mahalo Nui!

Total package from online reservation, round-trip Transportation, LARGE SHIP, meal, entertainment & position of ship for Friday Night Fireworks over Waikiki, panoramic views of Waikiki, & stunning sunset, easily 5 STARS. Must Do Activity.
I rode along the coastline and through the farms for about an hour, and it was quite beautiful. My 9-year-old son said it was his best memory. The staff took photos from both the mountain side and the seaside. The staff only spoke English, but I think it was manageable. After riding the horse, they explained how to control it in English. There were no Japanese customers. We went by rental car. The next day, I had muscle soreness in my back and the soles of my feet. The horses have different personalities; mine was a gentle horse named Amy, while my son's horse tried to eat grass right away, but in the end, he was able to control it well.
一時間ぐらいかな海岸線と農場をゆっくり乗馬、かなり綺麗です。
9歳の息子も一番の思い出だそうです
山側と海側でスタッフが写真を撮ってくれます
スタッフは英語のみです、でもどうにかなると思います
馬に乗った後に英語でどう制御するのかを説明してくれました
日本人の客はいませんでした
レンタカーで行きました
次の日に背筋と足の裏に筋肉痛
馬は色んな性格の子がいます、私のはエイミーおっとりとしたいい子でした、息子の馬は直ぐに草を食べようとする子でしたが最後は上手に制御出来てました
Amazing experience!! The food, service, setting and ambiance is outstanding. Highly recommend and do the 7 course meal, so worth it!!
The ride was good. None of us have ever ridden a horse on the beach, so it was a new experience. I haven't spent more than 20 minutes on a horse before this, more than a decade ago, so it was almost all new to me. We liked how the leader stopped us on the beach and took nice photos of us to remember the ride. The reason I didn't give a perfect score was that I think the leader of the ride needed to be more aware of the riding skill of the people she was leading and give advice on how to improve instead of just telling us what not to do.
I could not be more pleased with my experience on the Star of Honolulu for our vow renewal! The entire experience was flawless from the captain and his beautiful words to the fireworks over the beach at the end. Only two suggestions or pieces of information for others considering this... 1) the three-star experience is not air conditioned and if you are there in July like we were, be prepared to sweat! 2) no children's menu so if you have a picky little one like I do, bring kid-friendly snacks
Before boarding ship, performers played fura dance, they made good moody.
This dinner was very good for me, especially I likeed roasted beef!
I enjoyed performance by singer and dancer, so I could join the teaching fura dance.
Of course, I could take a picture behind sunset on horizon.
Finally they celebrated us about honeymoon.
I participated with my 4-year-old child. The tour guide accompanied my child for horseback riding, which made us feel secure. Both my child and I had a great time.
4歳の子供と参加しました。
子供にはツアーの人が付き添いで乗馬をしてもらい安心して参加できました。
子供も私も大変楽しかったです。
Although we hadn't registered our marriage yet, we wanted to have a ceremony during our wonderful trip to Hawaii, and it became an unforgettable memory. With the captain's presence, we pledged our love to each other, and it felt very sacred, allowing us to reaffirm our feelings for one another. The staff who escorted us were also very kind and accommodating. Thank you very much. I thought it would be nice to participate again in five or ten years.
入籍はまだでしたがせっかくのハワイ旅行中に式を挙げたかったので最高に良い思い出になりました。
船長さんの立ち会いで愛を誓い合い、とても神聖な気持ちになり
お互いの気持ちを再確認する事ができました。
エスコートしてくれたスタッフの方もとても親切に対応してくださいました。
有り難うございました。
5年後、10年後、又、参加したいなと思いました。
Thank you very much for boarding the Star of Honolulu. Congratulations on your wedding. We are very pleased to have been a part of your special memories. Please do come back for your anniversary next time. All of our staff look forward to welcoming you.
この度、スターオブホノルル号にご乗船頂き、誠に有難うございました。
ご結婚、おめでとうございます。大切な思い出が出来、大変嬉しく思っております。
次回は結婚記念日で是非お越しください。スタッフ一同でお待ち申し上げております。

We loved it! Show was so good and the performers were amazing and so attentive. Highly recommend!!!
The staff, who understand a little Japanese, were kind and taught us well. We were able to ride horses between the beach and the trees on the North Shore, and the duration was long enough for us to fully enjoy it. The weather was great, making it a perfect day!
日本語は少し通じるスタッフが優しく 教えてくださいます。
ノースショアの海辺と 木々の間も 乗馬出来て
しかも時間も 長いので充分満喫出来ました。
天気もよく 最高な日になりました!
When inexperienced riders go horseback riding in Japan, there are often people pulling the reins beside them, but here, the ranch staff leads the way on horseback, forming a line and taking about 1.5 hours to tour the ranch. There were many amusing incidents, such as the horses bumping into each other, starting to eat grass, and needing to relieve themselves, which made it enjoyable. Among the six customers, we were the only Japanese.
日本で未経験者が乗馬となると、オーバルコースで横に手綱を引く人がいたり、だと思いますが、ここでは牧場スタッフが騎乗した馬を先頭に、隊列を組んで1.5時間かけて牧場内を回ります。
乗馬した馬同士でどつきあったり、草を食べ始めたり、用をたしたりのハプニングが多数あって、楽しめました。
6人のお客のうち、日本人は私達だけでした。
