North Shore Sunset & Daytime Horseback Riding with Ocean Views - Gunstock Ranch

Beautiful place to adventure

Reviewed by: Camille

I took my daughter on a ride at gunstock ranch as a 12th birthday gift. We arrived 40 mins before check in and watched the horses get saddled up, and had a chance to see the newborn baby sheep! The guide, Garrett, was incredibly friendly and more then happy to answer all her questions and calm her nerves before the ride began. The 600 acre, family owned ranch is absolutely gorgeous! Amazing views the whole hour. Caves that have been used for TV scenes, big open fields of cattle, wild boars running around, rainbow etc. I would definitely return for more rides in the future, and will be recommending it to all my friends!

This was my second visit to Gunstock Ranch. This time, I mistakenly entered "Kahuku" instead of "Lai'e" into the rental car's navigation system, so I got quite lost before arriving... Upon arrival, I signed the liability waiver, had my luggage stored, and borrowed a helmet before heading out for horseback riding! The course was supposed to be one hour, but I think we ended up riding for over an hour. Last time, we had photos taken at the photo points, but this time, since the Travel Maker's donkey was with us (laughs), the staff member seemed to forget about taking pictures, so we didn't get any... However, the horses were all smart and gentle, making for a very pleasant riding experience. I would love to experience horseback riding here again on my next trip to Hawaii.

2度目のガンストック牧場。
今回はレンタカーのカーナビ入力で「ライエ」ではなく間違って「カフク」にしてしまったのでだいぶ迷いながら到着しました・・・
到着すると免責書類にサインをし、荷物を預かってもらい、ヘルメットを貸してもらいいざ乗馬!!
1時間コースでしたが1時間以上乗馬をしていたかと思います。
前回は写真ポイントで写真を撮って頂いたのですが、今回はトラベルメーカーのロバちゃん(笑)もついてきていたので、スタッフのお姉さんも写真のことを忘れていたのか、写真は撮って頂けませんでした・・・
しかし馬たちもかしこく大人しい馬ばかりでとても気持ちが良い乗馬体験が出来ました。
次回もハワイへ行った際はここで乗馬を体験したいです。

Horseback riding in Hawaii is the best! ハワイの乗馬は最高!

Reviewed by: プップクプー

I chose Gunstock Ranch from the many horseback riding plans available. Since I don't know about other horseback riding experiences, I can't compare, but I truly recommend Gunstock Ranch. First of all, the horses are calm and easy to ride. I had no anxiety at all. I didn't understand the English explanations very well, but it's reassuring even for first-timers. And above all, the course is fantastic. There are mountains and the sea, so I wasn't bored from start to finish. This time, I took the one-hour course, and I think it's just the right amount of time. If it were any longer, my legs might get tired...

たくさんある乗馬プランの中から、このガンストック牧場を選びました。他の乗馬を知らないので、比べられませんが、ガンストック牧場は本当にお勧めです。まずは馬がおとなしくて乗りやすいです。全く不安がありませんでした。英語の説明はよくわかりませんでしたが、初めての方でも安心です。そして何よりもコースが最高です。山あり海ありで、最初から最後まで退屈しませんでした。今回は1時間コースでしたが、調度良い時間だと思います。それ以上長いと足が疲れてしまうかも・・・。

North Shore Private Sunset Horseback Riding & Campfire Dinner at Gunstock Ranch

Best Ride on Oahu

Reviewed by: Nick

We did the campfire dinner ride. They keep it to 2 to 6 people. We were the only 2 on the ride that night so it was a wonderful private ride too. It was very pleasant not being in a line of 20 horses like other places we rode. The ride is very enjoyable. Beautiful scenery. Relaxing ride. Clean pathway. Fresh air. The campfire is at the top of a hill so it was a little breezy. We went in December so it was a little cool. Dinner was nice. Good size steak and shrimp, macaroni salad, rice, fresh fruits, smores. More than we could eat. The guide was pleasant and helped my wife the couple times her horse wanted to go another direction. She let me lead a few times while she helped my wife. We will definitely do this ride when we make it back to Oahu.

North Shore Sunset & Daytime Horseback Riding with Ocean Views - Gunstock Ranch

Fun day!!

Reviewed by: Torie

What is awesome about Gunstock Ranch is that it is in a very secluded area. The trail is very peaceful and we rode through grassy clearings and lots of cattle. It was a very small and intimate group (myself, my friend and the instructor), which I really liked because on other trails I've been on it involved following a long trail of people on their horses. This time I felt more in control of my horse. The horses are very well trained and know how to follow each other. I've tried to get mine to trot, but since I was on a beginner's trail it wouldn't allow me to do it. Also, the instructor, Garrett (hopefully I spelled his name correctly), was very pleasant and helpful throughout the entire trail.

Second visit, completely satisfied even with kids! 2回目 子連れでも大満足!

Reviewed by: kenjiro2003jp

I am a 45-year-old man. Two years ago, I participated in a 90-minute scenic course here, but this time I brought my 1st-grade daughter and 5th-grade son, and we participated in a 60-minute scenic course as a family of four. We rented a car early in the morning and it took about an hour from our hotel in Waikiki. We encountered rain in December, but by the time we arrived at the ranch, the weather cleared beautifully.

A young woman at the reception became our contact person. Almost everything except for the contract was in English, but I think it’s manageable even if you don’t understand everything. A year ago, when my child rode a small horse in Cairns, a Japanese person on a working holiday helped pull the reins, but at Gunstock, even my 1st grader rode a proper horse by themselves. The guide led the way, followed by the two children and then the couple. The kids were quite nervous at first, but after about 15 minutes, they learned to kick the horse's belly, which made the horse move, and they looked happy.

The distance differs between the 90-minute and 60-minute rides, but I think the height of the hills we climbed was quite different. Since we had elementary school children with us, the 60 minutes was sufficient, and we could see the beautiful North Shore sea. Along the way, we saw horses and cows grazing. Walking with the horses was pleasant, and the scenery was lovely, creating a wonderful feeling. While riding, the guide shared various information about the ranch, but with my language skills, I only understood about half of it. Still, it was a good experience for our family. The guide was kind and accommodating to us. (By the way, this was my second time, and the staff were all young both times.)

If we can go again, I would like to do the 90-minute ride with my family. We have also ridden at another ranch on Oahu, but we prefer Gunstock. The reception is just a small hut, giving it a rustic and pastoral atmosphere like a Western movie ranch. There are turkeys, goats, and dogs wandering around, and as you go further in, there are many horses. All of them are large and impressive, exuding both gentleness and dignity. I’ve been there twice, and the staff were all young both times. It really feels like America.

45歳男性です。2年前にもここで90分のシーニックコースに参加しましたが、今回は小1女子と小5男子の子供を連れて、親子4人で60分シーニックコースに参加しました。朝1でレンタカーを借り、ワイキキのホテルから1時間くらいでしょうか、12月の雨に降られましたが、牧場に着くと見事に晴れ上がりました。
受付の若い女性がそのまま我が家の担当になりました。契約書以外はほぼ100%英語ですが、わからなくてもなんとかなると思います。1年前にケアンズで乗馬した時の子供の馬はかなり小型で、ワーホリの日本人が手綱を引っ張ってくれましたが、ガンストックでは小1でも本格的な馬に一人で乗ります。ガイドさんが先頭で、その後に子供二人、夫婦二人が続きました。子供は最初かなりビビってましたが、15分もするとお腹をキックすることにを覚え、それで馬が動いてくれるので、嬉しそうでした。90分と60分では距離も違いますが、登る丘の高さがかなり違ったと思います。小学生連れなので、それでも十分で、ノースショアの海が綺麗に見えますし、途中に、馬や牛が放牧されています。馬と散歩するのは、景色も良く、何ともいい気分です。乗馬しながら、牧場のことなど、ガイドさんが色々と教えてくれましたが、私の語学力では半分くらいしかわからず、でも、それも我が家にとっては良い経験です。ガイドさんもこんな我が家に優しく付き合ってくれました。(ちなみに、2回目ですが、いずれもスタッフは若い方ばかりでした。)もしまた行けるなら90分に家族で行きたいですね。
オアフでは、他の某牧場でも乗馬したことがありますが、私達はガンストックが好きです。受付といっても小屋が一つあるだけで、西部劇の牧場のような、素朴で牧歌的な雰囲気です。あたりには、七面鳥やヤギ、犬が歩き回っていて、奥に進むと馬がたくさんいます。どれも立派な大きな馬で優しくも威厳を感じますね。2回行きましたが、いずれもスタッフは若い方ばかりでした。アメリカって感じです。

Satisfaction! 満足!

Reviewed by: ももこ

After passing by Kualoa Ranch and driving for about 20 minutes, we saw a sign for "GUNSTOCK RANCH." It’s not very big, so we actually drove past it once, but as long as you don’t miss that sign, it’s easy to find.

On the day of our visit, it was just the two of us, so we enjoyed a leisurely hour of horseback riding with our guide, making a total of three of us in the peaceful ranch setting. The conversation was in English, but she was friendly and approachable. The horse was well-behaved and walked closely behind the guide’s horse, so there’s no need to worry even for beginners.

We enjoyed seeing cows and peacocks roaming freely, and there was even a cave along the way, which was fun. I’ve been to the famous Kualoa Ranch before, but I feel like at Gunstok Ranch, you can truly enjoy a full hour of horseback riding. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn’t see the ocean view below due to the cloudy weather that day. While I preferred the scenery at Kualoa Ranch, I was ultimately satisfied with the experience.

クアロア牧場を通り過ぎて20分ほど車を走らせると「GUNSTOCK RUNCH」とゆう看板が見えます。あまり大きくはないので一度通り過ぎてしまいましたが、それさえ見逃さなければ場所は分かりやすかったです。
当日は私たち2人だけだったので、ガイドさんと3人でのどかな牧場をゆったりと1時間乗馬を満喫出来ました。会話は英語のみでしたが、気軽に話しかけてくれて、優しい女性でした。馬もお利口さんだったので、ガイドさんの馬にぴったりとくっついて歩いてくれました。初心者でも全然心配いりません。
牛や孔雀が自由に歩き回っている光景を見たり、途中洞窟があったりと、楽しかったです。
有名なクアロア牧場も行ったことありますが、こちらの方が1時間きっかり乗馬を満喫できる気がします。当日の天気が曇りだったのもあるせいか、海が眼下に広がる風景が見られなかったのは残念でした。風景に関してはクアロア牧場の方が好きでしたが、結果的には満足です。

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Incredible Experience

Reviewed by: mcavalheiro

Without a question this is a 5 star experience. This is one of those moments in life you will never forget and will probably want to do again. The staff is very friendly and experienced and they have great respect for the ocean and its creatures. They gave us a safety briefing and explained what to expect with the sharks and what not do, first thing we heard was "keep all the negative associations with sharks at the shore, go in with an open mind".
We got to swim around Sandbar & Galapagos sharks ranging from 5-10 feet, absolutely mind blowing. Some of them were curious and came close to us! It was a little scared first, but the guide kept us safe during the whole time. While we were enjoying that magical moment another crew member took great pictures of the encounter.
Absolutely a must-do activity if you are in Hawaii. I would love to go out with the Islandview Hawaii crew again!

North shore horse Back

Reviewed by: Eric James elizondo

This place at gunstock ranch was amazing the workers there were supportive right off the back. The greeting felt like home, no worries even though we were late due to the place due to traffic the team was very understanding. The 10,000 acre ranch was nice riding cowgirl and McAllen and being followed bullet the donkey was very romanctic. The horses were very easy to ride our tour guide did a good job telling us a little about the ranch what they have to offer and how we can learn a little about HAWAII history there. Me and my wife will most diffently want to come back and do the night dinner I'd enjoy this again prob try the advance racing of horses.

I signed up for a horseback riding experience in Hawaii for my honeymoon, something I had been interested in for a long time. I was really looking forward to it, but when it came time to ride, I felt a bit nervous. After all, once you get on the horse, you have to control it mostly by yourself.

However, that thought quickly faded. The well-trained horses (I rode one named Scarlet) followed the lead horse closely unless something unusual happened.

I enjoyed the various scenery, including grazing cattle, the ocean spread out below, and caves, while spending time with the free-spirited horses that occasionally grazed or shook their bodies. The hour flew by.

Although it was a short time, the horses moved differently depending on their personalities, creating a soothing experience that was different from just looking at the ocean.

A couple of points to note are access and clothing. First, regarding access: it's located away from Waikiki, so I think many people go by rental car. We headed there via the North Shore, but we encountered traffic near the beach along the way, which took longer than expected. I recommend allowing extra time for arrival.

As for clothing, there was a sudden rain during the experience. My husband and I were wearing long sleeves, so it didn't affect us much, but those in short sleeves looked a bit cold. This might be common for outdoor activities, but I think it's good to be prepared for changes in weather.

In any case, we had a wonderful time. I recommend this for anyone who wants to enjoy a side of Hawaii beyond just the beach.

ハネムーンでハワイへ、かねてから興味のあった乗馬体験に申し込みました。
大変楽しみにしていたのですが、いざ乗る時には少し緊張。何せ、馬にまたがったあとはほぼ、自分で馬をコントロールしなければなりません。
と、思ったのも束の間。
しっかり調教された馬(私はスカーレット、という子に乗りました)たち、よほどのことがない限り、
先頭のガイド馬に、ピッタリ着いて歩いてくれました。

放牧された牛たちや眼下に広がる海、洞窟などの様々な景色と、時折草を食べたり体を震わせたりする自由な馬との時間を楽しみながら、あっという間の1時間でした。

短い時間ではありましたが、それぞれの馬の性格によって動き方も変わり、海を眺めているのとは違った癒しの時間となりました。

注意ポイントは、アクセスと服装。
まず、アクセスについて。ワイキキから離れた場所にありますので、レンタカーで行かれる方が多いかと思います。私たちはノース経由で向かったのですが、途中のビーチ付近で渋滞が発生し、想定以上に移動に時間がかかりました。余裕を持った到着をお勧めします。
そして、服装。体験の最中に突然の雨。私たち夫婦は長袖着用だったのであまり影響を受けませんでしたが、一緒にコースを回っていた半袖の方が少し寒そうでした。屋外アクティビティでは当たり前のことかもしれませんが、天候の変化に対応できるようにしておくと良いと思います。

いずれにしても、とてもよい時間を過ごせました。ビーチだけではないハワイを楽しみたい方に、お勧めです。

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Fantastic!

Reviewed by: George

This was an awesome experience. I had done the shark cage before, but I never thought that I'd be able to swim with the sharks without cage. I was a bit skeptical about the safety, but once I was in the water, I didn't feel threatened at all. It was just a calm and relaxing experience, and the sharks were not interested in humans at all. The sharks we saw were mostly Sandbar Sharks and Galapagos Sharks, and they only eat fish. They were more attracted to the sound/vibration of the boat engine. So the guide instructed us to stay away from the boat, and we stayed together as a group. We only have a group of 5 with 1 guide and 1 photographer in the water, so the experience was very intimate.

I highly recommend this activity to anyone, and really observe the sharks in their environment. Forget about Shark Weeks, Jaws, etc., and go see them with their own eyes so you can cure people's misconception about these beautiful creatures.

I’m not good at English at all, but I thought I could manage by watching the people around me, so I gave it a try. Everyone except me was a foreigner, and the explanations were all in English.

At one point, I was told to grab the red cord when I reached the goal. If I didn’t, I would be pulled back like in bungee jumping and wouldn’t be able to return. The instructor worked hard to help me, but I ended up in tears… However, it was so much fun that I want to do it again!

Horseback riding experience in nature. 大自然の中での乗馬体験

Reviewed by: リサリサ

This time, I participated with my 61-year-old mother and 33-year-old daughter (myself). The activity is a meet-up at the location, but it's far from Waikiki, so if you don't have a rental car, you'll need to take a taxi or find another way to get there. I drove the rental car for about 50 minutes, as there was some traffic along the way. The road at the end is an unpaved gravel road, and since there are no signs along the way, it can be a bit unsettling.

As for the horseback riding, at our 9 AM reservation, there were five other customers (two groups of two and one group of one) besides us, but those five formed one group, while we were in a separate group with one instructor for the two of us. The five-person group had a photographer with them who took pictures while they moved (we did not have a photographer).

All the explanations were in English, but they taught the basic movements with gestures, so even if you don't speak English, you'll manage. Also, during the actual horseback riding, the horses are smart, so even if you don't perform the instructed movements, the horses will keep moving along, so you'll be fine as long as you're on the horse.

It's a one-hour course, and we were able to enjoy Hawaii's nature by going through the forest and to places where we could see the ocean. If I had to wish for something, I think it would have been even more fun if the horses had a bit more speed, but overall, I was satisfied with the experience.

今回、61歳の母と33歳の娘(私)の2名で参加しました。
こちらのアクティビティは、現地集合なのですがワイキキからは遠いので、レンタカーを借りていない場合はタクシーで行くなどの方法になります。私は途中渋滞もあった為、レンタカーを50分程運転して行きました。道は最後だけ舗装されていない砂利道を通るのですが、途中に看板などが無い為、少し不安になります。

肝心の乗馬ですが、私達が予約した9時にはお客さんが私達以外に5人(2人、2人、1人のグループ)いましたが、その5人で1グループ、私達は2人にインストラクターが1人つく別グループでした。5人グループの方には、カメラマンがついていて写真を撮りながらの移動のようでした(私達の方にはカメラマンはいませんでした)。

説明は全て英語でしたが、ジェスチャーを交えて基本の動きを教えてくれるので、英語ができなくてもなんとかなります。また、実際の乗馬中は馬が賢いので、教えてもらった動作をしなくても馬がどんどん進んでくれますので、馬に乗っていれば大丈夫です。

1時間のコースですが、森の中や海が見える場所に行ったりと、ハワイの自然を満喫する事ができました。
欲を言えば、馬のスピードがもう少しあるとより楽しかったかなと思いますが、総合評価は満足でした。

The best experience!! 最高の体験‼︎

Reviewed by: SAO

I had wanted to try this for a long time, and this was my first time participating! Our group met at 8:30 AM, and we started at 9. We drove there with a rental car. After arriving, we managed to check the consent form at the check-in monitor, put our wallets in the safe box for valuables, checked our bags at the luggage counter, and took care of the restroom. I hung my phone around my neck because I wanted to take pictures. Then, we were fitted with harnesses for sliding, put on helmets, and waited for the time to start. There were seven participants, including us, all from the mainland United States, along with three staff members. The staff were all friendly and attentive, checking in on us even though we didn't speak English, using gestures and confirming our understanding, which made us feel at ease during the experience! We practiced on a short course first, and then moved on to the next location by jeep. During the ride, they talked about various plants on the farm. We slid down seven courses, changing our positions and eating bananas and tomatoes along the way! It felt amazing! When they asked if it was good in Japanese, I replied, "イイネ!" (Good!). I was worried because I’m a bit overweight and not very fit besides my lack of English, but there was a course where we had to climb with a rope, and even though it was a short distance, I felt exhausted and thought, "I can't do this!" When I called out for help, they laughed and came to assist me! It was so much fun! I bought a T-shirt and a few photos, and received the photos via email by lunchtime! The price was a bit high, but the pictures turned out great! I want to do it again!

前からやってみたくて、今回初めて参加しました!私達の回は朝の8:30集合で、開始が9時。レンタカーで自分達で行きました。到着してからはチェックインモニターでなんとか同意書のチェックをして、貴重品用のセーフボックスにお財布を入れ、荷物用のカウンターに荷物を預け、トイレも済ませておきます。携帯は写真撮りたくて首からさげました。それから滑る用の綱を付けて貰い、ヘルメットを被り、時間になるのを待ちました。体験者は私達を入れた7人で、全員アメリカ本土の方。それにスタッフさんが3人居ました。スタッフの方は皆気さくで、英語のできない私達にも気を配ってくれて、ジェスチャー入れたり、わかったか確認してくれたり、色々フォローしてくれているのがわかり、安心して体験することが出来ました!最初に短いコースを練習して、そこからジープ?で移動しました。移動中は色々ファームの植物のことを話してくれてました。7本のコースを滑り、体勢を変えたり、バナナやトマトを食べたりしながら進みました!すごく気持ち良かった‼︎GOODの日本語を聞かれたので、イイネ!と、答えました!笑。私は太っちょで英語の他に体力が無いのも不安材料でしたが、途中ロープでよじ登るコースがあり、短い距離ながらもへこたれて、もう無理!と思ってヘルプミー‼︎と言ったら、笑って助けてくれました!とっても楽しく行けました‼︎Tシャツと写真を何枚か購入し、お昼にはメールで写真が届きました!値段ははりますが、いいのが撮れてました!またやりたいです‼︎

North Shore Sunset & Daytime Horseback Riding with Ocean Views - Gunstock Ranch

Awesome time!

Reviewed by: Misaki No

Not only I thoroughly enjoyed the sea and shopping this time, but also slightly different things wanted to do it and applied to this tour. I had not ridden a horse in Japan either and was the first experience of the throb.
When run on the shoreline of the north shore, and arrive; the place that is full of green far apart from the noise of Waikiki. There are not only the horse but also a chicken and the peacock.
A horse and the first meeting to be taken care of after arrival this time. Our fellow is Keahi and Ruby. I have gentle eyes having the rich mane. I have you teach how to get on at once and am a walk start. A guide walks the top and arrives in the next. I can take in the muscle of the horse whenever I step forward, and one step is very powerful. We stretch out the back not to break preparations and add it and the pace of the horse. The scenery from the horse is high and feels the comfortable wind. I might stop on the way, but walk the way with the pitch difference easily. I took a photograph at the good place of the scene. It was the experience that I could taste beautiful air and scenery in instant one hour, and was valuable.
A guide could tell neighboring restaurants and the recommended beach and was very kind. I want to recommend it to all of you by all means.

I was satisfied since it was my first experience! 初体験だったので満足!

Reviewed by: トミーガール

On Saturday, October 8, 2016, my daughter and I challenged ourselves to horseback riding at Gunstock Ranch. We took the number 55 bus from the Ala Moana bus stop, heading straight to Gunstock Ranch.

The number 55 bus, which connects Ala Moana and Haleiwa on the North Shore, runs along the east coast of Oahu via downtown, allowing us to enjoy beautiful views of Kaneohe Bay and local beaches from the bus window.

Upon arrival, we signed a waiver given to us by a female staff member, stored our belongings, and got ready for horseback riding. We set off in a line of six, led by a handsome cowboy. It was smaller and less crowded than Kualoa Ranch.

The spacious ranch, blue sky, white clouds, and the deep blue sea stretching below— the scenery from horseback was breathtakingly beautiful! Since it was my first time riding, I was a bit scared at first, but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed the beautiful views and interaction with the animals.

For those with horseback riding experience, it might feel a bit lacking, but since the pace is leisurely, I think it’s just right for first-timers.

2016年10月8日土曜日、gunstockranchで娘と二人で、乗馬にチャレンジしました。アラモアナのバス停から55番バスに乗り、一路gunstock ranchへ。
アラモアナとノースショアのハレイワを結ぶ55番バスは、ダウンタウンを経由してオアフ島の東海岸沿いを走り、車窓からは美しいカネオヘ湾やローカルビーチの絶景を楽しむことができました。
到着すると女性スタッフに渡された誓約書にサインし、荷物を預けていざ乗馬。イケメンのカウボーイを先頭に6人の隊列で出発。クアロアランチよりもこじんまりとしていて、参加する人も少数でした。
広々とした牧場、青い空、白い雲、眼下に広がる紺碧の海ー。馬上から見る景色はこの世のものとは思えない美しさでした!初めての乗馬だったので、乗る時は少し怖かったのですが、すぐに慣れ、美しい景色と動物との触れ合いを楽しみました。
乗馬経験のある人には少し物足りないのかもしれませんが、のんびりと進んでいくので、初体験の方々にはちょうどいい内容なのではないかと思います。

Instead of just sightseeing horseback riding, they really let you run! ♪ 観光乗馬ではなく、しっかり走らせてくれます♪

Reviewed by: うまにあ

Horseback riding can be enjoyed all over the world, and I make sure to experience it wherever I travel. While most clubs typically offer just a basic riding experience, this one responded to our requests and allowed us to canter.

We chose the standard 60-minute course with our guide and the two of us, making a total of three people. At one point, my husband, who has only ridden three times, expressed his desire to try running a bit! The guide happily agreed and took us cantering through the hilly forest right away. After that, we cantered in a wide highland, enjoying an incredible riding experience that you can't find at other tourist riding clubs.

Since we cantered, we ended up with some extra time, so they took a longer route back, and the scenery along the way was absolutely stunning.

Not only was I thrilled that we could canter, but I was also impressed by how incredibly well-trained the horses were. I think many horses at riding clubs often disregard their riders, but the horses here were very responsive! With just a light touch of my legs, they would transition from a walk to a canter!

If you go to Hawaii, you definitely should stop by this place! The donkey was also super cute! The girl who took photos for us captured wonderful pictures, so I think it's a great idea to buy some as souvenirs!

乗馬は世界中で楽しめるので、旅行先では必ず体験しています。
ほとんどのクラブが体験乗馬で終わる事が多いなか、こちらはリクエストに応えて駈足を出してくれました。

ガイドさんと私達2名、計3名で通常の60分コースを選択。
途中、3度しか乗馬経験のない主人が少し走ってみたい!とリクエストしたところ、ガイドの女の子は清くOKしてくれ起伏のある森の中をすぐに駈足してくれました。
その後も広い高原に出て駈足をしたり、他の観光乗馬クラブでは体験出来ないような素晴らしい乗馬をさせて頂きました。

駈足をしたせいで時間が余ってしまったということで、遠回りをして帰ってくれたのですがその途中の景色がとても素晴らしかったです。

今回駈足ができたこともさることながら、馬が驚くほど素晴らしく調教されていることに感動しました。どこの乗馬クラブの馬も大抵乗り役を馬鹿にして反応しないことが多いと思いますが、こちらのお馬さんはとっっっても反応が良いです!!足が触れるくらいの扶助で並足→駈足が出ます!

ハワイに行ったら絶対立ち寄って欲しいです♪
ロバもとっても可愛かった~♪
カメラマンの女の子が素晴らしい写真を撮ってくれるので思い出に買うのも良いと思います!

I participated first thing in the morning!
I checked out using the tablet at the reception.
Including ourselves, there were three groups of nine people and three instructors.
Everything was explained in English, but they also used gestures, so it was enjoyable.
You can take photos, but the number is limited.
Also, it might be a bit pricey at $15 for one photo and $30 for three (laughs).
Purchasing is optional, so if you find something you like, definitely go for it.
The buggies along the way were thrilling and fun!

朝一で参加してきました!
受付にあるタブレットからチェックアウトします。
自分たちを含めて3組9人とインストラクターさん3人とまわりました。
すべて英語でも説明ですが、ジェスチャーも加えて説明してくれますので
楽しく行えました。
写真も撮っていただけますが、枚数は少な目です。
また1枚15ドル、3枚で30ドルとちょっとお高めかも(笑)
購入は自由なので気に入るものがありましたら是非。
途中のバギーも迫力があり楽しかったです!

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Amazing experience swimming with sharks!

Reviewed by: Amy Walter

First time ever swimming with sharks and it was definitely one of the coolest experiences of my life. Naturally, I was pretty nervous but the moment I stepped on the boat and met the owner/boat captain and his two employees I was immediately put at ease. They are all local guys who are extremely knowledgeable about sharks, told us what to expect, and gave very specific instructions. The owner said he has been doing this for 30 years. Plus, they were very kind and personable which added to the experience.The safety swimmer gets in the water before you and is with you the entire time. He will hold your hand if you are nervous. Sharks are misunderstood creatures so put your preconceived notions and fears about them aside and go on this adventure! You won't regret it!

The best of tour plusses without the negatives. You spend most of your time at the location you choose and doing the activity you choose. Justin was very knowledgeable and personable. He let us choose our activity on site and even let people customize it by picking 2 morning activites and no afternoon ones. It was awesome.

Great Tour

Reviewed by: JB12

This was a very nice birthday surprise from my wife. I've never gone horseback riding and my wife booked us a family tour and it was GREAT! I was scared at first because I've never rode a horse before, but our Ranglers Tate and Jayden were superb on showing us how to do everything! Tate and Jayden were outstanding. I would definitely ride again with them. They ensured our safety at all times which was a huge plus for me. The ride was amazing, relaxing, beautiful and calming. I could not have asked for a better birthday gift. Not only was the ride great but we all learned some things about horses. Our horses were great also! Def one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii! We really had an Awesome time!

A must do with Gunstock Ranch

Reviewed by: Marinesa Baez

OMG! I booked this tour for my husband's birthday today. It was simply amazing. Initially he was a little apprehensive, but once we started riding he really enjoyed the ride. Our guide was simply the BEST (Tate) He was very informative and knew so much about the ranch and the horses. He made the ride so much fun! We also enjoyed (Jayden) who was our other guide. We can't wait to go back because we will definitely be coming back here to do another tour. The scene was beautiful although it rained some of our ride we still enjoyed it and had a blast!! They make sure you are comfortable and are enjoying every minute of it. It was our kids first time riding as well. They had so much fun until they would like to get horses themselves now. You CAN'T go to North Shore and not do this activity!

  • Great times!
