The oldest participant was 69 years old, and the youngest was 2 years old. We were looking for activities that everyone could enjoy, and we requested this horseback riding experience. The local staff do not speak Japanese, but they are friendly and kind, using gestures to communicate, so I think even those who are not good at English will be fine.
First, they asked if we wanted to wear helmets, and if we chose not to, we were asked to sign a consent form. Then, under the guidance of Sheina, my 2-year-old daughter rode a pony while the adults rode larger horses, taking a leisurely 20-minute walk in a single file through the grasslands and bushes. The horses ridden by the adults would sometimes stop to eat grass, so we had to kick the stirrups to encourage them to move forward, or pull the reins to bring them back into line if they started to walk too fast. It was a very valuable experience to operate the horse by ourselves for the first time.
At the end, my daughter was allowed to brush and feed the pony she was riding, and she was overjoyed (laughs). Even after returning home, she keeps talking about the pony (laughs). The only downside is that there is no transportation provided, so we had to make our own way to the North Shore. However, since we really wanted to go to Gunstock Ranch, we decided to charter a guided car and combine it with a tour of Haleiwa.
The grounds are vast, and the scenery seen while riding the horses is incredibly beautiful. The pleasant breeze and climate were very soothing. I would like to visit again when I come to Hawaii.
最年長は69歳、最年少は2歳、みんなでできるアクティビティーを探していてこちらの乗馬体験をお願いしました。
現地の方は日本語が話せないのですが、フレンドリーで親切な身振り手振りで教えてくれるので英語が苦手な方でも大丈夫だと思います。
最初にヘルメットをかぶるか聞かれて、かぶらない場合は同意書にサインを求められます。
そしてシェイナさんの先導で2歳の娘はポニー、大人は大きな馬に乗って草原や茂みを約20分一列縦隊でお散歩するのですが、大人の乗る馬は途中で草を食べ始めたり止まったりするので、その都度あぶみを蹴って前進を促したり、逆に早足になったら手綱を引いて列に戻るよう促したりと、自分で馬を操作するなんて初めてのとても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
最後は2歳の娘が乗っていたポニーにブラッシングやえさやりをさせてくれて、娘は大喜び(笑)帰国してもずっとポニーの話をしています(笑)
唯一の難点は、送迎がないのでノースショア方面まで自分で行かなければいけないことですが、どうしてもガンストック牧場でお願いしたかったのでガイド付きの車をチャーターしてハレイワ観光とセットで行くことにしました。
敷地が広大で馬に乗って見る景色は大変美しく、心地よい風と気候で癒されました。またハワイに訪れる際は立ち寄りたいと思います。

Horseback riding in Hawaii. There are various options, but this was the only place I found that allows small children to ride, so I made a request. I thought it would be a short experience, more like a child's play (laughs), but to my surprise... we got to ride on a big, adorable horse and explore the mountain trails!
It was a unique experience that you can't have in Japan, and I really enjoyed it. My 2-year-old daughter fell asleep, so her dad rode instead. I had only made a reservation for my grandchild, but they easily accommodated changing it to one adult for my grandchild and adding another adult.
Next time, we plan to go on a trip with just the grandparents, and I want to go horseback riding at Turtle Bay, where we went for our honeymoon (laughs). It will be next New Year's, so I hope to see you then!
ハワイで乗馬。色々有るけど小さな子供の乗れる乗馬はここしか見つからず、お願いしました。時間も短いし、子供騙し(笑)的な感じで乗るんだろうなぁ~と思いきや……
本格的に大きな可愛いお馬に乗れて、山道散策!
日本では、味わえない経験が出来て、とても楽しめました。2歳の女の子は寝てしまってパパが代わりに乗れました。孫だけの予約をしていたのですが、あちらで、孫1人大人に変更と、大人1人追加も簡単に対応していただきました。
次回は、じぃじ&ばぁばの2人旅の予定なので、新婚旅行で行った(笑)タートルベイの乗馬に行きたいなぁ‼って言ってます。来年のお正月になりますが、その時もヨロシクお願いします。

I had my first horseback riding experience with my 9-year-old son and my husband. My horse and my husband's horse were calm and followed the staff's horse, but there were times when my son's horse wouldn't move away from the line, which made me think that my son might have been a bit nervous, and that might have been communicated to the horse. The horses started walking at the staff's cue. We were able to leisurely explore nature and ride the horses, which was very soothing.
One disappointing thing was that the staff explained how to ride and the precautions in English, so I couldn't understand much. However, my son seemed to have enjoyed it and said he would like to ride again when we come back.
9歳の息子と主人と3人で初乗馬体験しました。
主人と私の馬は大人しく並んでスタッフの馬の後ろを付いていたが、
息子の馬が列を離れて動こうとは、しない事があったので少し息子も緊張してたのが馬にも伝わったのかなぁと思いました。スタッフの掛け声で馬は歩きだしました。自然の中をゆっくり見て回れて馬にも普通に乗れて癒されました。
残念な事は、スタッフが最初に乗り方や注意事項を説明されたが、英語だったので、あまり理解出来ませんでした。でも息子は、楽しかったみたいで又、来た時は乗りたいと云ってました。

I previously had a horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch, but the movie tour aside, the horseback riding felt very much like a "tourist attraction"—it was crowded, and we all went in a line together.
At Gunstock Ranch, my 2-year-and-10-month-old daughter could ride a pony, while my husband and I chose to ride horses. A staff member walked with my daughter's pony, and we followed behind on our own horses. There aren't many places that allow small children to ride alone, so it was a valuable experience! We chose a 20-minute ride, which was more than enough time for little ones! The grounds are incredibly spacious, allowing us to feel the great outdoors, and afterward, they let my daughter brush the pony and give it treats, which was really friendly of them. I definitely want to go back next time!
*However, there were no staff members who spoke Japanese. I don't think it would be too much of a problem, though.
以前クアロア牧場で乗馬体験もしたのですが、映画地のツアーはともかく乗馬に関しては「観光向け」という感じで、混んでいるし、みんなでぞろぞろ行く感じでした。
このガンストック牧場は2歳10か月の娘がポニー、私と夫は馬と選べて、係の女の人が娘のポニーを引いて歩いてくれ、私たちは後ろから自分たちでついていくという感じです。小さい子1人で乗らせてくれるところはないので、貴重な体験でした!
20分のライドを選びましたが、小さい子には十分すぎる時間です!
敷地はものすごく広くて大自然を感じられるし、終わった後で娘にポニーのブラッシングや、おやつをあげさせてくれたりして、本当にフレンドリーでした(^^)次回も絶対に行きたいです!
※ただ日本語が話せるスタッフさんはいなかったです。
そんなに困る事はないと思いますが。

Initially, I thought about taking the bus, but I didn't know how to ride it or the schedule, so I consulted with HIS. They told me it would take a long time and that I wouldn't know how to transfer, which would make it difficult to reach my destination. I even considered canceling. In the end, I decided to take a taxi (which was expensive).
There were seven elderly ladies, all beginners, and at first, they were a bit scared to get on, but they gradually got used to it. The woman who accompanied us was very cheerful, which made it enjoyable and the experience was fantastic (I'm glad we did it).
As they got more comfortable, everyone expressed a desire to go horseback riding and try galloping. While Kualoa is famous, this place felt more local, and Japanese wasn't spoken, but we managed to communicate somehow. There were also small children with us, and they had a great time as well.

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!

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.

I might have needed to mention this beforehand, but if I was expecting a title like "Enjoy the Ranch with a Course That Suits You," there was no level check or inquiry about my preferences; it was just a slow, straightforward walk.

We apologize if you were frustrated by not being able to trot or canter on this ride. We have an advanced ride option, however, the ride booked was a 1.5 hr scenic ride. Our advance ride allows trotting and cantering, however, we keep that group small (4 people). Also, each rider must show that they can safely trot and canter because horses love to go faster and it would be dangerous for someone who doesn't know how to control the horse.

It takes about two hours to get to Gunstock Ranch by taking The Bus number 55 from Ala Moana. After passing by Kualoa Ranch, you will find Gunstock Ranch further ahead. There is only a sign along the road, so I almost missed the bus stop at Kamehameha Hwy + Opp 56-155. After getting off the bus and walking down the road marked by the sign, I arrived at Gunstock Ranch, where I could hear cheerful voices from a children's swimming class.
I arrived quite a bit earlier than the check-in time, so I spent some time playing with the horses and goats. After listening to the safety instructions, I decided not to wear a helmet and signed a separate waiver form. About 30 minutes into the horseback riding, we reached a hill where we could see the surrounding scenery, and Grace and Chad, who guided us, took some photos for us. The staff were very friendly and helped my mother, who doesn't understand English at all and is inexperienced with horseback riding, feel comfortable. I had a fulfilling two hours riding along a path covered with jungle-like trees on a very friendly horse, an experience I don't usually get to enjoy. I definitely want to visit again.

受付時間よりだいぶ早く着いてしまったので、馬やヤギと戯れながら時間を潰し、注意事項などを聞いて、私はヘルメットをかぶらないことにしたので、別途既定の用紙へサインをしました。乗馬を開始すること30分、あたりの景色を一望出来る丘の上にたどり着き、案内をしてくれたGraceとChadに写真を撮ってもらいました。とっても気さくなスタッフの方々で、英語が全くわからず乗馬にも不慣れな私の母をしっかりとリードしてくれました。ジャングルのような木々に覆われた道をとてもフレンドリーな馬と進む、普段味わえない充実した2時間を過ごすことができました。またぜひ訪れたいと思います。

The horses were very easy to handle, and although there were times they didn't listen, the guide was quick to help. When we reached the top of the mountain, the view was stunning, and we were able to take commemorative photos, which made me very satisfied.

I participated in mid-February. It took about an hour by rental car from the center of Waikiki to get there. The staff kindly taught us how to ride, and there were a total of five of us: one staff member and four tour participants, as we explored the vast ranch for about an hour and a half.
In the middle of the course, we took commemorative photos on a hill with a great view, which became a wonderful memory.
While there aren't as many activities as at places like Kualoa Ranch, I highly recommend it for those who want to enjoy horseback riding at a leisurely pace!

I took the bus number 55 from Ala Moana Shopping Center at 8:30 AM, and it took almost two hours. Since I wasn't sure where to get off, I asked the driver in advance to let me know when we arrived at Gunstock Ranch. I got off after the 56-160 on Kamehameha Highway. It was written on a utility pole at stop 46. Right after getting off the bus, there was a sign for Gunstock, so I didn't get lost.
What was frightening was how cold the bus was. Even with a long-sleeved jacket and a towel as a blanket, it was still chilly... Even though I knew it would be cold and prepared for it, I still needed to be cautious. There seem to be various horseback riding courses available, but since it was a place where no Japanese was spoken at all, I participated as a beginner. Next time, I would like to join a different course.
There were no other customers, just the two of us for a little over an hour, walking through the mountains. It was a unique experience that allowed us to feel the time and air that we can't experience in Japan. The sea breeze felt very nice, and it was enjoyable.
Lima, the new female staff member, was very polite and interacted with us, even though we didn't understand English well. Please feel the vastness of the 800 acres of land.
朝8時半に55番のthe busでアラモアナショッピングセンターから出発、ほぼ2時間かかりました。
降りるバス停が定かではなかったので、ガンストック牧場に行きたいので着いたら教えて欲しいとドライバーさんに先にお願いしておきました。
カメハメハ ハイウェイ56-160の次で降ります
。46と降りた所の電柱にかいてありました。
バスを降りると直ぐの所にガンストックの看板もあるので迷いはしないですね。
何が恐ろしかと言うと、なんせバスは寒い
長袖のヤッケにタオルを膝掛けにしても寒い…
分かっていて、装備をしていてもなので注意が必要です。
乗馬はいろいろなコースがあるみたいですが、全く日本語の通じない所なのでビギナーでの参加でしたが、次回は違うコースで参加したいと思います。
他にお客さんもなく、我々だけでの1時間ちょっと、山の中をお散歩
日本では味わえない、時間と空気を感じる事ができました。
sea wind がとても気持ちよく、楽しかったです。
リマはまだ新しく入った女性スタッフと言う事でしたが、丁寧に英語のわからない私たちに接してくれました。
800エイカーの広大な大地を感じて下さい。
アロハ、レビューをありがとうございます!私たちは他にも多くの乗り物を提供していますので、次回はぜひお知らせください。お会いできるのを楽しみにしています。

This time, my 5-year-old son and I participated in a 30-minute children's experience course, while my husband and our 7- and 9-year-old daughters joined a 1-hour horseback riding experience. Everyone unanimously agreed that it was wonderful and fun! My 7-year-old daughter was deeply moved, reflecting that in Japan, at my age, they wouldn't let her ride alone for an hour. The horses were truly smart, and my daughters handled the reins like pros. My husband mentioned that riding for a full hour through the hilly pastures and mountain paths would be a great, great, great satisfaction for beginners and children.
During my 30-minute ride, I was on a big horse, not a pony. My 5-year-old son was initially surprised but was thrilled to ride the same horse as the adults. Since he is only 5, a female staff member accompanied him to lead the horse. We went up and down a small hill as well. Although my daughters and husband couldn't ride, they were able to walk alongside us during the hour-long course. It was so enjoyable that the time flew by. One thing to keep in mind is that while there are supermarkets and convenience stores on the way, it's better to bring drinks with you in advance. The restrooms were relatively clean.
It takes about an hour to drive from Waikiki with a rental car. I also recommend having lunch at Giovanni’s in Kafuku, which is near the ranch, for their garlic shrimp!
今回、30分の子供向け体験コースを5歳の息子と私で、7歳、9歳の娘達と主人が1時間の体験乗馬に参加させて頂きました。全員声をそろえて気持ち良かった~楽しかった〜!!でした。7歳の次女が、日本だったら私の歳で1人で1時間も乗してくれないよねぇとしみじみ感動して噛み締めていました。本当に賢い馬達で、娘たちの手綱さばきもいっちょ前さんに見えました。主人が言うには、上り下りもある牧草地や山道をじっくり1時間かけて乗馬するので初心者や子供達に大、大、大満足な1時間だと思うと言っていました。
私が参加した30分は、ポニーではなく、大きなお馬さんでした。5歳の息子は最初驚きましたが、大人と同じ馬に乗れる事に大喜びしていました。5歳なので、女性の方が1人ついて、馬を引いてくれます。ちょっとした坂道の上り下りもいきます。また、乗馬はできませんが、1時間コースの娘たちや主人も一緒に歩いてついてこれました。楽しくて、あっという間の時間でした。気をつける事は、行くまでにスーパーやコンビニなどありますが、事前に飲み物は持っていった方が良いと思います。トイレも比較的綺麗でした。
ワイキキからレンターカーして1時間位です。牧場の近くのKafuku(カフク)のGiovanni’s(ジョバンニ)でガーリックシュリンプでランチもお勧めですよ
マハロ(ありがとう)ご親切なレビューをいただきありがとうございます。1時間の乗馬とポニーライドを楽しんでいただけたと聞いて、とても嬉しいです。またすぐにお越しいただけることを願っています。マハロ。
Mahalo for your kind review. We are so happy to hear you had so much for on the 1-hour ride and pony ride. We hope you will come again soon. Mahalo

After about 1 hour and 45 minutes on the bus from Ala Moana, I finally arrived at a peaceful ranch for a horseback riding experience. The experience started at 11:00, and check-in was at 10:30. Since it was mentioned that it was a bit of a walk from the bus stop, I took an earlier bus and arrived by 9:15.
I was surprised to arrive so early, but I was able to relax and take a nap on a bench at the ranch until 10:30. Perhaps because it was a weekday, we were the only ones there, making it a private horseback riding stroll. Since Japanese was not spoken, I did my best to communicate in English. It was okay not to wear a helmet, and I received a brief explanation before getting on the horse right away!
It was very smooth and hassle-free, which was great, but it might not be suitable for those who want a thorough safety briefing in Japanese or for first-timers.
After about 50 minutes of exploring the ranch, I was able to take photos in a spot with a great view. I was really glad it didn't rain. It was a wonderful horseback riding experience that refreshed my spirit!
アラモアナからザバスに乗って1時間45分くらい、やっとついたのどかな牧場で乗馬体験してきました。
11:00からの体験で10:30チェックイン、バス停から少し歩くとなっていたので、早めのバスに乗って行き、9:15にはついてしまいました。
早くつきすぎてビックリされてしまいましたが、10:30まで牧場のベンチでゆっくりお昼寝しできました。
平日だったからか、私たちしかいなく、プライベートな乗馬散歩になりました(^^)
日本語は通じないので、英語で頑張ってコミュニケーションとりました。ヘルメットしないでもokとのことで、本当に短時間でサラッと説明を受けてすぐ乗馬!
とてもスムーズで面倒くさくなくて良かったのですが、日本語でしっかり安全講習受けたい人や初めての人には向かないかもしれません。
50分くらい牧場内を散策して、見晴らしがいいところで写真も撮ってもらえました。
雨が降らなくて本当に良かったです(^o^)
心が洗われるステキな乗馬体験でした!

Had an early morning rideat 9:00am. We got three a not earthly, but played with the Sadie and the time flew by! She was such a sweetie. The guide, Grace, was very friendly and informative. The horses felt very safe and well cared for. The views were phenomenal as even though it rained a bit, it was a wonderful experience. We drove from ko orona resort and it took about 1 hour in light traffic. We let the calves,goats,sheep afterwards. It was a blast and i would definitely recommend it. As a beginner, I felt very safe and the horses behaved perfectly! There's great lunch in north shore at Ted's and we also got to watch the big waves while in town.

This is a review by an advanced rider, 1 intermediate and 2 beginners. First the drive from the west of the island takes about an hour to an hour and a half, but it's just beautiful. Our tour was in December and scheduled for 9am as a 1 hour walking tour. We arrived a bit early due to traffic being light. When we arrived, the staff greeted us and explained that they will need to grab the horses and tack up so we could wait by the picnic tables and the bathrooms were behind us. We had no problem waiting and a sweet dog named Sadie came to play fetch with us. It started to rain a bit once the horses were ready, we hadn't brought jackets but it wasn't very cold and it ended fairly quick. The guide asked our experience and explained how to ride to all of us and then began matching horses to people. I think she did an absolutely fabulous job. The tour started and each pair went along nicely and the guide was very informative about the ranch, landscape, and area. She was very friendly. The terrain and landscapes were just beautiful. Green everywhere, big green mountains with billowing clouds draping down them. Each rider enjoyed it, the horses kept the beginners so safe, and mine listened to my light cues well. The guide told us the trails run all over the ranch, so they don't always go on the same trails, this is what makes it great to me. You don't feel like you're on just another head to tail pony ride. It felt personal, it was beautiful, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. All in all, 10 out of 10! I recommend anyone looking for a horseback riding ride in oahu to here, get the morning tour, and relax in north shore afterwards. (great food is at any food truck)

I went on this activity with a friend and we took the 55 bus from Waikiki to North Shore. It was a long ride (about 2.5 hours) but the bus literally runs along the shoreline so it the scenery was very nice. You can tell the bus operator that you want to get off at Gunstock Ranch and they'll holler to let you know when they've reached the appropriate stop. A note for those who are not taking a car to the ranch: It's a bit of a walk from the road! It probably took about 5-7 minutes for us to arrive at the ranch.
Because the bus was a bit late, my friend and I were late to our 10:30AM check-in time. We called ahead to let them know and they were very accommodating. The activity was scheduled for 11AM and they told us to just let them know if we were going to arrive later than 11 since our ride might have to be shortened in that case. Luckily we arrived right at 11. It took just a couple minutes to get us checked in and after a short introduction on how to make the horse go and stop, etc, we were on the horse and ready to go.
Our guide was Hannah and she was very nice and attentive. She made some conversation along the way and was quick to help us out if the horse wasn't cooperating. The rest of our group took a horseback ride along the shoreline but my friend and I chose Gunstock Ranch because my friend is allergic to UV rays. The backwood trail of Gunstock Ranch was perfect for her. It was very quiet and tranquil and you could still see the ocean from afar. For our purposes this ride was absolutely perfect.
My only gripe is that two days later, my bum still hurts! Haha.
Aloha! Thank you for your review! We are so happy that you both had a great time. Hopefully we will see you on your next trip here!

Beach was beautiful, but it felt that the time was too short. Would've liked it longer. Catamaran cruise is included with this. Same trip if you purchase the Catamaran cruise by itself. You get two in one but it shortens your time at the beach. And sadly we were not told this, so we did 2 Catamaran trips which were exactly the same. No difference. Secret beach itself was beautiful with hammocks, kayaks, etc available.
