I participated with my two daughters (in their 20s) and another family of two (foreigners), making a total of five people. All the staff at the ranch were women and spoke very little Japanese, but they provided clear guidance in English, which made us feel comfortable and allowed us to enjoy ourselves. We spent about an hour relaxing in the beautiful scenery of the coast and the grasslands. After horseback riding, they also gave us plenty of time to interact with the horses. The horses were beautiful, very friendly, and adorable. The staff talked about each horse's individual characteristics and personalities as if they were their own children, which made me, a huge horse lover, feel incredibly warm inside. I had a wonderful time at this ranch, creating great memories. However, one thing that concerned me was that the entrance to the ranch was somewhat difficult to find. I had read in previous reviews that the entrance gate should always be closed to prevent the horses from getting out, so when I closed it, the staff shouted in English for me not to close it, which surprised me a bit.
娘2人(20代)と私の3人、他に2人の親子連れ(外国人)と計5人での参加でした。
牧場の方は全て女性で日本語はほとんど話せませんでしたが、分かりやすく英語で案内してくれたので安心して楽しむことが出来ました。
海岸と草原の最高の景色の中で約1時間ゆったりとした時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
そして乗馬の後に馬たちとたくさん触れ合う時間を設けてくれました。馬たちはきれいで、そしてとても人馴れしていて可愛かったです。係の人は馬の個々の特徴や性格を我が子の様に話してくれて、馬の大好きな私はものすごく温かい気持ちになりました。この牧場でとても幸せな時間を過ごすことが出来てよい思い出になりました。
ただ、1つ気になったところは、牧場入口が若干分かりにくかったです。
以前体験された方の口コミに入口ゲートは馬が外へ出ないように必ず閉めて。とあったので閉めていたら、牧場の方に閉めないで! と英語で叫ばれて少し驚いてしまいました。

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.

To begin, customer service over the phone was fantastic. The tour itself was exactly what I was hoping it would be. We got Ocean, we got River ( the glass bottom kayaks are fantastic), and we got Steve- an entertaining yet professional
Guide who was the perfect combination of laid back and instructive. He even let one of our group take over his paddle board even though that’s not what we signed up for and she loved it! Overall great experience.

The number of sharks is definitely impressive. The experience is thrilling. However, since we went quite far out, I got seasick before we reached the point. Once we arrived, we had to wait our turn to see the sharks in groups, and I got even more nauseous during that time. Being in the cage, exposed to the waves while watching the sharks, made me feel even sicker. On the way back, I could hardly sit up and ended up collapsing on the boat. I had taken motion sickness medication, but it didn’t seem to help with the seasickness. Those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious. Unfortunately, due to my own body’s reaction, the outcome was disappointing, but there were no faults in the tour itself, so I give it 4 stars.
サメの数はまちがいないです。すごい迫力です。
ただしかなり沖まで行くので、ポイントに着くまでに酔いました。
ポイントについたらグループごとに順番に見るため、待っている間にさらに酔いました。
ケージに入って沖の波にさらされながらサメを見てさらに酔いました。
帰りは起き上がることすら困難で船の上で倒れてました。
酔い止めは飲んでいましたが、船酔い海酔いには効かなかったようです…
もともと酔いやすい方は注意が必要です。
自分の体質で残念な結果ですが、ツアー内容としては落ち度はないので☆4つです。

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)

We had a very enjoyable experience as a couple. By the time it started, the rain had stopped, and there was a bit of wind, so it was a little chilly, but it was an experience that made us forget about that. It was great that it wasn't just an attraction for doing the zip line. Next time, I want to experience it under a clear sky on a nice day while enjoying the scenery.
夫婦でとても楽しい体験をしました。始まるときには雨も上がり、風があったので少し寒かったですが、忘れるくらいの体験ができました。ZIPラインをやるだけのアトラクションでなかったのがよかったです。次回は天気がいい日に青空の下で景色も満喫しながら体験したいです。

It was absolutely amazing! I participated with my 10-year-old daughter. This time, we didn't rent a car during our stay in Oahu, so the shuttle service was very helpful, and we thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and ziplining for half a day. Of course, all the explanations were in English, but we could still have fun within our understanding. It's fine to just follow along.
My daughter was a bit light and couldn't make it to the end, so she had to backtrack, but it was a great memory when someone came to help her like Spider-Man, and everyone was surprised and laughing. It was a nice reminder that there are different ways to enjoy Oahu. I definitely want to participate again!
I recommend wearing quick-drying short or long sleeves to prepare for sudden rain. If your shorts are too short, the belts and other gear might rub against your skin. Wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty from rust, and if you're taking photos, pants with pockets that won't drop things even when you're upside down are a good idea.
There will be explanations along the way, but if it seems like you won't make it to the goal, they will throw a rope from the goal. There is a short red rope attached to it. If you think you can't reach it on your own, grab that red rope, and you can be pulled! My daughter barely reached that red rope and ended up having to go back. Adults should be mostly fine!
とにかく最高に楽しかったです!10歳の娘と参加しました。今回はオアフ滞在中レンタカーをしなかったので、送迎付きはありがたく、半日景色とジップラインを満喫しました。もちろん全て説明は英語ですが、わかる範囲で盛り上がれます。見よう見まねで大丈夫です。
子供は軽いと最後まで行かずバックしてしまうこともありましたが、スパイダーマンのごとく助けに来てもらったことも良い思い出で、みんなびっくり&笑ってました。こんなオアフの楽しみ方もあるんだと再確認。ぜひまた参加したいです!
スコール対策のためにも乾きやすい半袖か長袖をおススメします。下もショートパンツ過ぎると、身体に装着するベルト諸々が皮膚にあたると思います。錆びなどで汚れても良い服装、写真を撮るなら逆さになっても落ちないポケットのあるパンツがいいですよ。
・途中で説明がありますが、ゴールまで届きそうにない場合、ゴールの方からロープを出してくれますが、その先に赤い短いロープが付いています。自力で届かなそうでむり!と思ったときにその赤いロープにつかまれれば、引っ張ってもらえます!
娘はその赤いロープにもギリギリ届かなくて、
逆戻りしてしまいました。大人はほぼ大丈夫です!

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.

Even though they are sharks, they are calm and don't bump into the cage. You can observe them quietly and thoroughly.

I was actually planning to go skydiving, but I had to change to a shark tour at the last minute due to military training.
I've been to Hawaii several times, and every time I think about doing a shark tour, but I always put it off because of time constraints.
But I'm glad I was able to do it this time. It was a bit disappointing that I got slightly seasick from drinking too much the night before.
Anyway, I was thrilled to see the sharks up close. I think I would have been even more excited if there were man-eating sharks!

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!

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.

I participated with my son, a first grader who loves sharks, and my family. I was worried about the high waves, but we were able to see plenty of sharks while wearing life jackets. The gaps in the cage were quite wide, making it seem like a child could easily slip through, which was quite terrifying as a parent. However, my child held on tightly to the bars of the cage, so it was okay. One of the Spanish women who entered the cage with us wore water shoes, and they hit my body hard, which was very painful. Everyone is supposed to take off their sandals and shoes before boarding the boat, but it seems that this was overlooked. It's best to be cautious and check if the people in your group are wearing shoes or sandals. Other than that, I was very satisfied.
サメ好きの小学校1年生の息子と家族で参加しました。波が高くてどうなることかと思いましたが、ライフジャケットを着せてたっぷりサメを見れました。ゲージの隙間がかなり広くて、子供は容易にすり抜けられそうなほどでしたので、親としてはかなり恐怖でしたが、子供はしっかりゲージのバーにつかまっていたので、大丈夫でした。一緒にゲージに入ったスペイン人の女性の一人が、あろうことかウォーターシューズを履いて入ったので、靴ががんがん身体にあたってとっても痛かったです。船に乗船するときサンダルや靴はすべて脱いで入っているはずなのに、漏れていたようです。一緒に入るグループの人が靴やサンダルを履いていないかどうか、気を付けていたほうがいいです。それ以外は大満足でした。

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!
Aloha!

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!

I participated in the trip with my sister!
We were the only Japanese participants among the attendees, and since the staff couldn't speak Japanese, I was a bit anxious at first. However, the staff explained things using gestures, simple English, and broken Japanese, so I didn't have any major issues.
They provided us with a guidebook that had the tour flow and precautions written in Japanese, so as long as you read that, there are no problems!
We went out to sea on a boat and once we arrived at the spot, we put on our snorkels and entered the cage.
Swimming with the sharks in the beautiful deep blue sea was more fun than I imagined!
You can bring an underwater camera or smartphone into the water, so you can take photos and videos with them in waterproof cases.
I usually don’t get seasick, but I took motion sickness medication just in case.
The boat rocked quite a bit, and some people looked a bit worn out...
I think the motion sickness medication is essential.
If you want to relax, that's great, but if you're looking for something a little different!
If just going to the beach or shopping isn't enough for you!
This tour is highly recommended! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

参加者の中で日本人は私たちのみ、さらにスタッフは日本語が話せないということで初めは少し不安もありましたが、スタッフの方はジェスチャーと簡単な英語、カタコトの日本語を交えながら説明や指示をしてくれるので特に困ることはありませんでした。
日本語でツアーの流れや注意が書かれている説明書をわたしてくれたので、それをちゃんと読めば何の問題もないです!
船で沖まで進み、スポットに到着するとシュノーケルをつけて檻の中へ。
悠々と泳ぐサメと、深いブルーのキレイな海!
想像以上に楽しかったです!
水中カメラやスマホも持って海に入れるので、防水ケースなどにいれて写真やムービーも撮れます。
普段乗り物酔いしない私も一応酔い止め薬を飲んで参加しました。
船は結構揺れたので、何人かぐったりしている方も…。
酔い止め薬は必須かと。
のんびり過ごすのもいいけど、ちょっと変わったことがしたい!
ビーチやショッピングだけでは物足りない!
という人にはオススメのツアーです( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

I participated with my 75-year-old mother. Neither my mother nor I understand English at all, but we were able to enjoy ourselves thoroughly. I thought it would have been even more enjoyable if I could understand the guide's explanations about the farm and Hawaii along the way.
75歳の母と2人で参加しました。
母も私も全く英語がわかりませんが、十分楽しむ事ができました。
ガイドが途中、途中で農場やハワイの事など(多分)説明していて英語がわかればもっと楽しめたのになと思いました。

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 enjoyed the Horseback ride, but was disappointed we didn’t actually get to see the sunset.

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 had plans to go to the North Shore, so I made a reservation out of curiosity. After about 20 minutes on the boat, we were given snorkels and entered the sea in a cage with around eight people. Looking around, I saw more than ten sharks, some about three meters long. It was quite thrilling, and I was very satisfied with the tour, which offered a thrill that you can't experience in Japan.
There were no other Japanese people besides us, and all the explanations were in English. However, I think it's not a problem even if you don't speak English, as you can understand the atmosphere.
It seems to depend on the day, but the boat does sway, so I think it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication.
ノースショアに行く予定がありましたので、興味本位で予約。船に揺られ20分くらいの沖で、シュノーケルを渡され、海に設置されている檻の中に8人程度で海へ入ります。あたりを見渡すと、10匹以上のサメがいました。3メートル程度あるものもおり、かなりドキドキしましたが、日本では味わえないスリルがあり、とても満足のツアーでした。
日本人は私たち以外にはいなく、説明もすべて英語でした。ただ、雰囲気で伝わりますので、英語ができなくても問題はないかなとも思います。
日によるみたいですが、船は揺れますので、酔い止めは持っていったほうがいいかと思います。
