You can feel like you are traveling in the great outdoors. The horses are smart, and I felt safe riding even as a beginner. On the course, there were cows grazing, we walked through the forest, and we could see the ocean from a high point. This was truly the essence of horseback riding in Hawaii! They also stop along the way so you can take photos.
However, the guide is a very nice person, but since they don't speak Japanese, the instructions on how to ride and handle the horse are given in English. It might be a bit difficult for those who don't understand any English...
I recommend it for those who have a car and can understand a little bit of English!
大自然の中を自分で旅しているような気分になれます。
お馬さんも賢くて初めてでも安心して乗れました。
回るコースでは牛が放牧されていたり、森の中を歩いたり、高台から海がみえたり、、
これぞハワイの乗馬!というのが堪能出来ました。
途中で止まってくれるので写真も撮れます
ただ
ガイドさんはとてもいい人ですが、
日本語が出来ないので、お馬さんの乗り方・扱い方英語で説明されます。
英語が一切分からない方は少し難しいかも…
車があって、英単語が少し聞き取れる方にはオススメです!

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

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 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!

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。

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。

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!

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!

We participated as a couple from Waikiki, taking the bus. We arrived early to avoid being late and walked about 10 minutes from the bus stop, but no one was there. There were several booths surrounded by fences, and the horses were lounging around, looking quite relaxed.
After waiting for 50 minutes, just as our reservation time was approaching, we heard cheerful voices and about ten people returned. They each took commemorative photos before leaving, and we thought we could get on right away, but we were told, "You have to wait for one more group to arrive," and we ended up waiting another 30 minutes.
Finally, we started with a family of four from California, but the eldest daughter’s horse wouldn’t move. The instructor, who was at the front of the line, just kept saying to kick its belly. I thought we could have switched horses, or even used my horse from the riding club.
We returned as scheduled, but we could have ridden for another 30 minutes, right? Unlike the previous group, we didn’t get to take commemorative photos, which was a bit disappointing. However, we did give a proper tip. If we participate again, we plan to request a horse that can run.
ワイキキから夫婦で、the busでの参加です。
遅れてはならないと、早めの到着でバス停から10分ほど歩いて到着するも、誰もいない。
柵で囲まれたブースがいくつかあり、馬たちはのんびりと座り込んでいたり、まあのびのびした感じです。
待つこと50分、私たちの予約時間になろうとした頃、きゃっきゃと声が聞こえてきて、10人くらいの皆さんが帰って来た。
そのみなさんがそれぞれ記念撮影などして帰って行き、すぐ乗れるのかと思いきや「もう一組客が来るから待ってて」と言われ、再び待つこと30分。
カリフォルニアから来た4人家族と、やっとスタート。そしたらそこの長女の方が騎乗した馬が動かない。インストラクターのお姉さんは列の先頭にいたまま、お腹を蹴ってとしか言わない。
馬を替えるなり、なんだったら乗馬クラブに通っている私の馬と替えてもいいのに。
そして帰着は予定通りで、もう30分は乗れたんじゃないの?前の組みたいに記念撮影もなく、なんだかなあ。
でも、チップはちゃんとあげました。
もし、再度参加するとしたら、走れる方でお願いしようと話しています。

I experienced this during spring break. My son, who is in the third grade, my niece in her twenties, and I in my forties all took on the challenge together. It was everyone's first time riding a horse, and we were worried about whether we could actually ride, but we were able to smoothly get on the horse from the mounting block.
The instructions were in English, but they used gestures to teach us, so even with zero English skills, we managed just fine. We rode in a line through the grasslands and between the trees, not just on flat ground but also on rocky mountain paths, stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery for about an hour. It was a valuable experience that is hard to come by in Japan.
Although it's quite a distance from Waikiki, it took two hours by bus from Ala Moana Center, and it was worth the effort to get there.
春休みに体験しました。
小学3年生の息子、20代の姪、40代の私の3名で挑戦。ひとりで乗馬はみんな初めてで、馬に乗れるのか…と心配でしたが、台にのった状態から馬にまたがったのでスンナリ乗れました。
説明は英語でしたが、身ぶり手振りで教えてくれたので英語力ゼロでもどうにかなりました。
一列になって草原や木の間、平坦なところだけでなく歩きにくそうな山道を進み途中途中で景色を眺めるために止まりながら約1時間、貴重な体験ができました。日本ではなかなか体験できないのでよかったです。
ワイキキから距離がありますが、アラモアナセンターからバスで2時間、頑張って行った甲斐がありました。

It takes more than 1 hour and 30 minutes from Waikiki. The 1 hour and 30 minute trail ride had gates every 200 meters, and after opening and closing them, we moved at a brisk pace and then to a gallop, without any worries about the horses running away. The horses also seemed to be stress-free. Along the way, a donkey followed us, and it was adorable. The lady was also very friendly with a lovely smile.
ワイキキからは1時間30分以上です。1時間30分のトレール乗馬は200mごとにでゲートがあり、それを開け閉めしてからの速足から駆足で、暴走の心配がなかったです。馬もストレスがないように見えました。途中でロバが後をついてきて、可愛かったです。お姉さんも笑顔が素敵だった。

I made a reservation from Japan and participated.
As soon as I got on, we took off at full speed!!
The guide couldn't speak Japanese, but they kindly explained how to operate and listened to my speed preferences, allowing me to enjoy exactly what I wanted.
The scenery was amazing!!
We also rode through the mountains, so there were plenty of shaded areas, making it comfortable while fully enjoying the magnificent nature.
I definitely want to participate again! ★
日本から予約して参加しました。
跨ってすぐ爆走!!
添乗の方は日本語は話せませんが、丁寧に操作の仕方や、スピードの要望を聞いてくれて、自分の希望する内容ができました。
景色は最高!!
山の中も走るので日陰も多く、快適かつ雄大な自然も満喫できました。
またぜひ参加したいです★

The horses living in the vast grounds were all very calm and well accustomed to people. It was refreshing to be able to run freely in nature. I will definitely use this again the next time I come to Hawaii!
広大な敷地の中で生活している馬たちは皆、とても穏やかで良く人に慣れていました。自然の中で思いっきり駆け足して乗れるのは爽快でした。次回、ハワイに来た時も又必ず利用します!

I requested the advanced course. A Japanese participant mentioned that this is the only place on Oahu where you can do cantering, and they said they visited various places before finding this one. They adjust to the participants' levels, but we started running early on (laughs).
The wind felt nice, and the scenery was very beautiful, making it a fun experience. The horses were all quite relaxed as well.
上級者コースを頼みました。その時一緒になった日本人の方曰く、オアフの乗馬で駈歩ができるのはここのみで、その方はガンストックを見つけるまでに色々巡ったそうです。
参加者のレベルにも合わせてくれますが、始まって早々に走りました(笑)
風が気持ち良く、景色もとても綺麗で楽しかったです。馬たちもみんなのんびりしていました。

We are a family of five. My wife and I (over 60), our two sons, and our daughter are all adults, but we were nervous about our first horseback riding experience. However, seeing a child around seven years old riding before us made us feel at ease. The location has a sign on the left side of Route 83, and if you turn left, it's right there. You can also see the ranch along the road. The office is the meeting place, but there are no signs inside the ranch, so we went towards the back where there was a building, and we found a small office in a place with a few parked cars. There was no permanent staff, and after the previous riding group returned, the guide helped us with the check-in. During the one-hour ride, we climbed hills and maneuvered through trees, and everyone was satisfied. It was okay to ride with a small shoulder bag or pouch. Unfortunately, there was no horseback riding by the beach.
家族5人です。妻と私(60歳以上)・息子2人・娘1人全員大人ですが初乗馬ドキドキしていましたが、1組前に7歳くらいの子供が乗っていたのを見て安心しました。場所はルート83の左側に案内看板があり左折すればすぐです。道路沿いにも牧場が見えます。オフイスが集合場所となっていますが、牧場内に案内看板はなく、とりあえず建物がある奥へ行き、数台駐車している場所があったので行くと、そこに小さな小屋のようなオフイスがありました。常設の係員はいなく、前の乗馬組が戻ってからそのガイドの方が受付をしてくれました。1時間の乗馬で牧場内の丘を登ったり、木の間をすり抜けたりみんな満足していました。小さなショルダーバック・ポーチはつけたままでも乗馬OKでした。残念ながら海辺の乗馬はありませんでした。

I had a mix of no riding experience and a little bit, so I chose the 1 hour and 30 minutes course to fully enjoy horseback riding. The weather was nice, and the beautiful grasslands and mountains were a sight to behold. Along the way, I could also see the ocean, and while enjoying the magnificent scenery of Hawaii, I felt like a cowboy holding the reins.
Emily, who led us the whole time, shared interesting stories about the ranch and occasionally mentioned the cows and calves we saw. My daughter acted as an interpreter, which helped me understand everything. The horses were impressive, and the saddles were comfortable. Each horse had its own personality (there were six of us participating), and we had a lot of fun.
As someone with a bit of riding experience, I definitely want to participate in a course here where I can gallop again!
乗馬経験無しと少し有りと色々でしたので
たっぷり乗馬を満喫出来る1時間30分のコースにしました。
お天気も良く、見渡す草原と山並みが綺麗で、途中、海も見渡すことが出来、
アメリカハワイの雄大な景色を見渡しながら、カウボーイ気分で手綱を握って乗馬を満喫出来ました。
ずっと、先導してくれた
Emilyが、この牧場に関する事や、時々見かける、牛や子牛のエピソードなどを話してくれたのも、興味深かったです。
娘が間に入って通訳してくれて
理解できたのですが・・・
馬も立派で,鞍も座り心地良かったし、
それぞれ馬も個性があって(6人で参加)
色々楽しめました。
また、
少々乗馬経験有りの私は、
是非またここで、
駆け足が出来るコースに参加したいと思い
ました!!!

It seems that a 4-year-old child and their dad had a great time riding impressive horses. While waiting for the adult riding session to finish, they spent time playing with the equipment and animals on the premises.

それぞれに
立派な馬に乗れて、
楽しかったようです。
大人の乗馬の終わるまでの時間、
敷地内の遊具や動物たちと過ごしながら
待っててくれました。
