Horseback Ride Like an Authentic Paniolo in Kahuku

Horseback Ride Like an Authentic Paniolo in Kahuku

Overview

Climb into the saddle and see a new side of Hawaii

Enjoy a relaxing horseback ride through one of Oahu’s hidden treasures—the Hawaiian countryside of Gunstock Ranch. You and your horse will travel through shady forest trails and trek across open pastures, spotting grazing cattle, soaring island birds, and maybe even a family of wild pigs.

The grand finale of the tour is the lookout over the stunning North Shore coastline and the quiet town of Laie, nestled on the edge of the crystal-clear ocean. It’s a great spot for photos and a moment of relaxation in one of the most beautiful places around. Plus, the whole ride will be intimate, with small group sizes, so you can experience an authentic paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) adventure.

First time horseback riding in Hawaii! We rode horses named Tex and Rose and had a great time. Paisley and Kayla were awesome guides who definitely seem to have a passion for horses and also had great customer service. It was a perfect day all around and the views were great. We definitely would recommend this trip!

If you're looking for a relaxing stroll in beautiful surroundings, I would greatly recommend this activity. We had perfect weather, sunny and breezy, a friendly and engaging guide, and horses with unique personalities. While I'm not an experienced rider, I came away with an appreciation for the paniolos. Quaint operations. Access to yummy shrimp trucks in the neighborhood for snack or lunch too. Hope others will enjoy.

This was my first time riding and I enjoyed most of it. The place was clean and very nicely organized. Quick preparation and away we go. Riding any other horse except the one I got could have made this experience perfect for me. The one I got was big and old and after half the riding time he decided that he had had enough and prefered to spend his time stopping to eat leaves and weeds. The leader of the group kept asking me to kick him each time to get him to stay with the group. This was not easy for me on my first ride. My last 20 minutes of this riding was continuously struggling with the horse and wishing it all could end. Please consider having Winston ( the horse) take an early retirement.

Aloha, Mahalo for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate the feedback so much. As I spoke with our wrangler she said Winston was having an off day. Normally he is our easy-going big guy. We apologize for the less than 5-star experience. We do our best to mitigate these circumstances and will continue to be aware. Mahalo again for riding with us.
