The staff at North Shore Stables were all very friendly and attentive. The ATV’s were perfect for me and my boys. The course was diverse, interactive and provided for excellent photo opportunities. The course takes you through fields, a quick stop to see and feed animals then down to the beach for the ultimate photo opportunity. This was an excellent family friendly activity, my kids really enjoyed the whole experience. This is an outing for anyone looking for some excitement. I would definitely recommend this activity for a great way to spend a few hours while on Oahu!

Our guides were amazing and the views from the zip line were phenomenal. It was awesome that there were pictures taken by the staff along the way so we didn't have to risk our own phones. 100% would recommend to future travelers.

Our family had a great time on our ATVs. Come in the morning as it is HOT in the sun. And be prepared to get dirty so bring a change of clothes for afterwards. Instructors were super attentive and took lots of pictures which you can opt to purchase. You’re a drive from Shark’s Cove and local food trucks on the North Shore so we made a day of it. Our teenage boys loved this experience!

This zip line course is the real deal! Not only they have 8 individual zip lines, but each has it's character and unique feature. We really loved to do different tricks, and also enjoyed some very long zip lines that we haven't experienced anywhere else.
Guides were fun and very helpful, and had 'super human' abilities whenever someone was stuck on a line.
We will definitely come again next time we are visiting the island!

This was well worth it!! The staff is excellent from the time you check in to the 3 guides that are with you zip lining to check out if you decide to get the pictures! We were with a great group of people and that made it more fun as you can get to know everyone in your group as it takes about 3 hrs to complete and there is time between each zip line. This was the best thing we did of all the activities myself and 2 kids (ages 15 and 18) did for the 6 days we were here! Highly recommend doing this if you want to zip line. Another thing that is regally nice is if you are staying in Waikīkī you get to drive to the other side of the island and if you have a rental car you get to see other parts of the island that are not full of tourist.

I could have stayed there all day playing on those ATVs honestly, our guide Micky was laid back and cool, it was good vibes all around.

I recently went Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours / Standard Daytime Horseback Rides and unfortunately, it was not well organized. The whole experience seemed uncoordinated, and the pictures taken were unusable due to the way we were positioned.
I gave them 3 stars mainly because the two ladies we interacted with were nice enough, and the horses were well-behaved. However, the walk itself was not very scenic, and overall, it was a disappointing experience. I wouldn't do it again.

My first horseback riding experience in Hawaii at Gunstock Ranch became a wonderful memory! The instructors were kind and attentive. (I can't speak English, but I managed!) The horses were gentle and smart, making it easy for beginners to ride with confidence. You can feel the richness of the animals living freely on the vast land. It was a fantastic activity to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery of Hawaii while riding a horse!
It took just under two hours to get to Gunstock Ranch by the Bus, but the changing scenery made the time fly by. I’ve decided that the next time I go to Hawaii, I will ride at Gunstock Ranch again!
ハワイで初めての乗馬体験がガンストックランチでとてもいい思い出になりました!
インストラクターの方達も優しく丁寧に対応してくださいます。(私は英語ができませんが、なんとかなりました!)
お馬さんたちも穏やかで、賢くて乗馬初心者でも安心して乗ることができました。広大な土地にのびのびと生活する動物たちの豊かさを感じれます。
お馬さんに乗ってハワイの大自然の景色を堪能できるとても良いアクティビティでした!
ガンストックランチまでは、the Busで2時間弱でしたが移り変わる景色であっという間でした。
また、ハワイに行った際にはガンストックランチで乗馬をすると決めました!

I booked a shuttle service. Excitedly, I went to the meeting point, but the shuttle didn’t arrive even when the time came. I thought there might be traffic, but I couldn’t get through on the phone, and feeling sad, I returned to the hotel and called again, only to be told that my reservation hadn’t gone through and was scheduled for another day. I was stunned, and I had to quickly come up with other plans for that day, but to be honest, my schedule was disrupted. Since it was rescheduled for another day, my plans for that day changed as well. When I went on the scheduled day, the shuttle didn’t arrive again at the appointed time, and I was astonished. When I called, they hurriedly came after a while. I was exhausted from the morning. They were speaking English fluently, but there wasn’t even a single word of apology.

Our tour guide Keoki (George) was amazing. He took us throughout the land and showed us all around the area. We didn't know what to expect when we went on this tour and this tour blew our minds. We rode for hours and the scenery was amazing. Keoki went above and beyond and took pictures and videos for us. We learned about the history, plantation and so much more. I love the fact that it's a private tour and only a few people were on the tour.
It made it so much more personal. Thank you Keoki! Looking forward to doing this tour again when we come back to visit.

My friend really enjoyed it, so we decided to join the tour with transportation included. Since my friend came before the pandemic, it seems that some things have changed. We spoke with a guide who was wearing a badge from Japan and got an explanation, and we toured the center with the guided option. Thanks to the guide's arrangements, we were able to see almost everything in the park, and it was a fulfilling day. My friend said it was even better than the last time they visited, and we were able to have various experiences!
友達がとてもよかったのでもう一度行きたいとのことで送迎付きでツアー参加。
友達は、コロナ前のに来たので少し様子が変わってしまったようで日本のバッチをつけているガイドさんに声をかけて説明してもらい、ガイド付のオプションでセンター内を見学しました。ガイドさんのはからいで園内ほとんど廻れて充実した1日でよかったです。
友達も前回来たときよりも充実してたと言ってました、色々な体験もできました!

I signed up for the session on Sunday at 9:00 AM (meeting at 8:30 AM).
【About Transportation】
- Since it was mentioned in the introduction that it takes 90 minutes from Waikiki, I caught an Uber after 7:00 AM, but it seems that Sunday mornings are less busy, and I arrived in just an hour.
- There was no one at the check-in location, and the Uber driver, seeing a sign that said "If no one is here, please call this number," kindly made a call, but the staff did not arrive immediately and showed up only after the meeting time. From this, I think it’s not necessary to arrive before the meeting time, just like in Japan, although it may depend on the day and circumstances.
【About the Experience】
- It was interesting to enjoy both mountain and ocean views. At the end of the horseback riding, they took a few pictures with my phone. I appreciated being able to feed the horses and interact with them after the experience.
- However, the horseback riding itself was only about an hour, and including explanations, it lasted 1.5 hours. I chose this experience thinking it would be 1.5 hours of riding, so that was a bit disappointing.
- On this day, everyone except me was a native speaker, and all explanations were in English. During the horseback riding experience, we enjoyed conversations in groups centered around the instructor.
【Other Notes】
- It might be good to wear long sleeves in the morning as it can be cold on the mountain side.
- A hat is not necessary, but I think sunglasses would be helpful as it can be bright.
- If you are uncomfortable touching the reins with bare hands, it might be a good idea to bring work gloves.
- Tips were given in a box.
- After horseback riding, I took an Uber to Haleiwa, enjoyed some food and shopping, and then returned home by The Bus. For those who are not driving, I recommend taking an Uber for the outgoing trip, which is more predictable, and then using The Bus for the return trip to save a bit.
日曜日9時(8:30集合)の回を申し込みました。
【移動について】
・紹介文などにワイキキから90分かかると記載されていたため7時過ぎにUberを捕まえて向かいましたが、日曜朝は空いているのか1時間で着きました。
・チェックイン場所に誰一人おらず、「誰もいなければここに電話するように」と書かれた看板を見たUberの運転手さんが心配に思ったのか、電話をかけてくださいましたが、スタッフはすぐ来ることはなく、集合時間になってから来られました。
これらから、もちろん曜日やその時の状況によるとは思いますが、日本と同じように集合時間前に着くようにくる必要はないです。
【体験について】
・山と海の景色両方を楽しめるのは面白かったです。乗馬終盤には、自分の携帯で写真を数枚撮ってくれます。体験後に餌付けをさせてもらい、馬と触れ合えたのがよかったです。
・ただ、乗馬体験自体は1時間程度で、説明なども含めて1.5時間でした。当方は乗馬が1.5時間できるものだと思いこちらの体験を選んだので、それだけは残念でした。
・この日は当方以外は全員ネイティブで、説明も全て英語でした。乗馬体験中もインストラクターを中心に、グループごとでの会話を楽しみました。
【その他】
・山側が朝は寒いので長袖でも良いかもしれません。
・帽子は不要ですが、眩しいのでサングラスはあったほうが良いと思います。
・手綱を素手で触るのに抵抗がある方は、軍手を持っていってもいいかもしれません。
・チップはボックスに入れる形式でした。
・乗馬後はUberでハレイワまで向かい、食事やショッピングを楽しんだ後The Busで帰宅しました。運転をしない方は、行きは時間の読めるUberで行き、帰りはThe Busで行くと少し節約になるのでオススメです。
