I had a horseback riding experience with my husband. On the day we made our reservation, it was canceled due to heavy rain the day before, but we were able to quickly reschedule and go horseback riding. I had previously ridden at a different place, but this one felt more homey, and the instructor was very nice. They taught us how to ride and handle the horses in a clear and thorough manner. The course took us through the great outdoors for just under an hour. We saw some cute cows along the way. We also had a view of the ocean. Unlike the previous riding place, we were able to stop along the way for photo opportunities. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to visit this riding stable again.
主人と一緒に乗馬体験をしました。予約した日、前日は大雨でキャンセルになりましたが、直ぐに予約を取り直し乗馬をする事ができました。以前は違う所でしましたがこちらの方がアットホームで、インストラクターの方もとても良い方でした。丁寧に乗り方,馬の操り方を分かりやすく教えて下さいました。コースは大自然の中を1時間弱回りました。途中に牛がいてとても可愛かったです。海が見渡せました。以前の乗馬場ではなかった途中で止まって写真撮影もしておただけました。又ハワイに行く機会があればこちらの乗馬場に再度お邪魔したいです

The food was only ok. Service was very good. show was great! We had some wind which made some waves, so the boat was rocking a bit. Our server came around to ask if anyone was feeling seasick. Thankfully, no one in our group was.

I booked this horseback riding tour because my boyfriend has expressed how much he has always wanted to ride a horse. I did a quick search and Veltra had this awesome offer for a 2-for-1 which I found perfect as a surprise for him! I booked it and got confirmation very quickly.
We were coming from Honolulu so the drive took about an hour. Our booking was at 2pm and check-in was at 1:30pm. The early check-in was for the explanation of the liability and consent form while they prepared the horses. There was the two of us plus a small family of three. Helmets are recommended but not required- they are free to use. (If opt to not use a helmet, you must sign a section on the liability form) Around 10 minutes before 2pm, they explain and demonstrate how to ride and take care of our horses. We get on and begin the tour shortly after 2pm!
We got lucky with the weather! When we first arrived, it was grey, cloudy and started to drizzle. By the time we began our horse ride it turned sunny! Leanna was our guide and she is the sweetest person! We were all beginning horseback riders so we went at a good pace. She talked about the range, answered our questions, asked about ourselves, and made sure we were all comfortable and in control of our horses throughout the entire tour. The trail included uphill, downhill, and flat plains. The top view was absolutely stunning. We got to see the beautiful blue ocean in-front of us and the Ko'olau mountains behind us. Leanna even took our photos and they came out amazing. It was so serene, sunny and not too hot because there were cool breezes throughout that hour trail ride.
This is definitely an experience of a lifetime. I am so incredibly happy we got to do this! The views were breathtaking and I will be attaching photos even though the real thing is 1000 times better! We'll be doing it again the next time we get the chance. Thank you so much Leanna and Gunstock Range for a lovely time and thank you Veltra for the great offer!

My wife and I were in Hawaii for our honeymoon and wanted to venture out to the north shore of Oahu to get a taste of the landscape out there. I booked a horseback riding tour for our first full day in Oahu, and even though we had to get up early to make it out in time for our ride, it was SO worth it. Everything with the ride and staff at Gunstock ranch was perfect. Finding the ranch was easy and the signs leading to where we needed to go were so clear. We showed up a little early and our tour guide was still grooming and prepping the horses for the day, but she let us wander around and meet some of the horses. She was so kind and informative and did an amazing job leading our ride. She was patient and very clear in her instructions, and even though our ride was only 1 hour I feel like she went above and beyond to pack as much as she could into our hour ride! The service from Gunstock ranch was TOP NOTCH and I would HIGHLY recommend anybody to check it out. Even if the price seems a little high, it was so worth it and I can guarantee you will not regret making the trek out and taking a trail ride with Gunstock ranch. The location / area is so beautiful, we even saw a full and amazing rainbow the morning of our ride. If I could give this company / this ride 6 stars I would! I will definitely come back again next time we are on the island!
Aloha!
Thank you so much for your kind review! We hope you love our ranch as much as we do, and we hope to see you again soon.

I participated in a horseback riding experience with three friends, making a total of four of us. There were two white people in the same time slot, but the two instructors staggered the groups a bit and led us separately, so we had a private group experience. Alex, who was in charge of us, had a great personality and provided us with information about the horses' names and personalities, as well as guidance throughout the ride. I could feel her love for the horses radiating from her, which made us feel happy too. We were blessed with good weather, took photos on a stunning beach, and had a very meaningful time connecting with nature. Fortunately, we also encountered a sea turtle basking in the sun, making it the best horseback riding experience that we could only have here!
13時からの乗馬体験に友人3人と私、計4人で参加。
白人2名が同じ時間帯にいましたが、インストラクター2名が少し時間をずらして2組に分けて先導してくれたため、グループで貸切の状態でした。私達を担当してくれたAlexは人柄もよく、馬の名前、性格や途中のガイドもしてくれました。彼女の全身から馬たちへの愛を感じてこちらまで幸せになりました。天候にも恵まれ、絶景の浜辺で写真も撮れ、自然を感じられたとても有意義な時間を過ごすことができました。ラッキーなことに甲羅干しで寝ている海亀にも出会え、ここでしか味わえない最高の乗馬体験になりました!!

I got a bit lost at the entrance of the ranch, but I arrived safely and waited for about 30 minutes until everyone who signed up for the tour gathered. (You can touch the horses while waiting.) Once everyone was there, the staff explained how to ride and how to hold the reins, and then we each mounted the horses with their assistance. We rode in a line along a designated course at a slow pace, so even those with no riding experience could feel comfortable. The horses seemed well-trained and followed the instructions smoothly. We rode for just under an hour against the backdrop of Hawaii's magnificent scenery, and then we returned to the starting point to say goodbye to the staff before parting ways. It feels great when the weather is nice! While I'd love to ride in light clothing, long pants and sneakers are a must. If you're concerned about sunburn, I recommend bringing a light shirt. We encountered some rain on the way, but it was sunny during the ride, and I had a lot of fun! The horses were very soothing!
牧場の入口で若干迷いましたが無事に到着し、ツアー申込した人が揃うまで時間をつぶしながら30分位待ちました。
(待っている間馬に触ったりできます。)
全員揃うとスタッフの方が乗り方、綱の引き方を説明してくれ、付き添いながら一人一人乗馬し出発。一列に並んで決まったコースをゆっくり進むので乗馬全く経験なくても安心して乗ることができました!
馬も慣れているようですんなり指示に従ってくれます。1時間弱位ハワイの壮大な景色を背景に乗馬しスタートした場所に戻ってスタッフとお別れの挨拶をして解散となります。
天気がいいととても気持ちいいです!
薄着で乗りたい所ですが長ズボンスニーカーは必須。日焼けが気になる方は薄手のシャツなどあるといいと思います。
行く途中雨に降られましたが、乗馬中は晴れていて楽しかったです!お馬さんにもいやされました!
ありがとうございます!またすぐにお越しいただけることを願っています。
Thank you! We hope you come back again soon.

I participated in a monitor tour where the second person was free. We took the bus from Ala Moana to get there. It took over an hour, but the location was easy to find. There was an entrance to the ranch across from the bus stop, and after walking for just under 10 minutes, we arrived at the ranch.
On the day we participated, there were only two participants, so we were able to take our time. The experience was more about riding around the ranch on horseback, so it might feel lacking for those expecting to gallop on the horses. Also, we joined the first tour of the day, but it was quite hot, and I got sunburned in short sleeves, so I recommend wearing long sleeves even if it's hot.
二人目無料のモニターツアーで参加しました。
アラモアナからthe busを利用して向かいました。
一時間以上かかりましたが、場所は分かりやすかったです。バス停の向かいに牧場の入り口がありそこを10分弱歩くと、牧場に着きます。
私達の参加した回は、ちょうど参加者が2名のみでしたので、ゆっくり回ることができました。
馬に乗って牧場を回るという感じなので、馬で走ることを期待している人には、物足りないかもしれません。
また、朝一番の時間で参加しましたが、かなり暑く半袖だと焼けましたので、暑くても長袖をオススメします。
馬に乗るために私たちのところに来ていただきありがとうございます。私たちは、馬に乗ることができる方のために、進んだ(速歩)乗馬を提供しています。またのご来場をお待ちしております。
Thank you for coming to ride horses with us. We offer an advance (trotting) with a horse for people that know how to ride a horse. We hope you come back.

We definitely enjoyed the on board entertainment with the hula dancers, the gentleman on the ukelele, solo vocalist, pianist and they even had a saxophone player who dabbled in the art of the jazz flute!

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. We attended Paradise Cove Luau after reading numerous online reviews and asking for recommendations from some of the island residents. It was everything we could have hoped for. We paid for the royal box and it was worth every penny. The view of the stage was excellent, and the table service was very professional. The food and drinks were very good and there was a very nice variety of food. The view at Paradise Cove was right off of a post card. Perfect. I can’t say enough good things about our evening at Paradise Cove. Highly recommend.

At Kualoa Ranch, small children are not allowed to participate in horseback riding, but at Gunstock Ranch, kids from the age of seven can ride, making it a fun experience for the whole family. This time, I took my eight-year-old son and we participated as a family. It was truly moving to explore the great outdoors of the North Shore alongside the horses. The horses are well-trained, so even children can participate with peace of mind. The ranch itself is quite far from Waikiki, so I recommend joining with a rental car.
クアロアランチでの乗馬は小さい子供は参加不可ですが、ガンストック牧場は7歳からでも乗馬が出来るので家族みんなで楽しめます。
今回は8歳の息子を連れて家族で参加しましたが、ノースショアの大自然の中を馬と共に散策できるのは感動です。
馬の調教も良くされていて、子供でも安心して参加できます。
牧場自体はワイキキから結構離れていますので、レンタカーで参加されることをおすすめします。
ご家族全員が乗れたことを嬉しく思います。ありがとうございます。
We are happy your whole family could ride. Thank you

Wanted to ride on a beach and we were not disappointed. Angela was our guide and very enjoyable. My horse was a retired rodeo horse and my husband's was a retired polo horse.
The views were amazing. We rode along the ocean into a field and then back to the beach. Angela took our photos in the beach and spending that time with her and the horses was a dream come true.
I highly recommend taking Notth Shore Beach horseback riding tour. It is not safe for the horses to run in the sand sonif you want speed, it is not for you. But you will be sorry if a fast run on the beach deters you.
