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.

This was an amazing way to spend the afternoon with my Grand Daughter. She was blessed with a true beauty named Azul (Azi for short), who was not only gentle but knew how to handle such precious cargo. Isa, who I highly recommend, was our Guide and was extremely acknowledgeable and gracious in sharing information about the Ranch and history, the Horses and their many accomplishments, and answering questions. She led us on a scenic path that took us to a high point with the most breathtaking views, and helped us capture a moment of time so that we can reflect back on this memory while also sharing with others. We will be returning, and I highly recommend GunStock Ranch, who offers many different tours.

Gunstock ranch has excellent customer service, friendly staff, and beautiful horses. Mackenzie was very welcoming on the phone and very knowledgeable. Kamila was our tour guide and she makes you feel comfortable and secure especially for having some first time riders. My little one had Big Ben and he is the most calm horse I've ever seen. He did awesome with my son. The view going up was a lot of greenery. At the top it was beautiful! Coming down during the sunset hour was gorgeous. We really enjoyed ourselves and hope to go back this year.

AWESOME RIDE!!!! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. They have a small petting zoo by check-in with cute goats!! The horses were beautiful and very well taken care of by the staff. The ride was wonderful. The ranch was gorgeous and the ocean views were spectacular!! The guides were exceptional. We appreciated the fact that there were three guides spread out among the group so we could hear instructions and info that the guides were sharing. Camilla and Dean were great! A special shout out to Isa who was FABULOUS 😊😊 She shared so many interesting facts about the ranch and Hawaii. She was so personable, engaging, and so sweet to my son and daughter. She truly made the ride even better!! And of course, mahalo to our horses...Bonita, Cowboy, Scarlett, and Kolea. Magnificent animals!! Thank you for a great experience. Highly recommend this activity with Gunstock Ranch!!! We will be back!!
