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.

Thank you Gunstock ranch for a great family horseback riding experience. Our guide was Ty and he was super friendly and skilled guiding us through a scenic and beautiful route through the rolling country of the ranch. The views were great, the weather was warm and the ranch is cool to explore on horseback. I went with my three daughters age 18, 16 and 11 and we all had a fantastic time. The horses were well behaved and easy going. You can tell when you first arrive that the horses are well cared for, not over ridden or abused. That's important, because I've done trail rides were the horses are not so well taken care of and by the time you saddle up and head out they are already tired and ornery. These horses were very responsive and friendly although they like to snack on the greenery along the way. Thank you again for a memorable and fun experience for me and my kids.

My family enjoyed a lovely ride over the holidays with guides Kali and AJ. They both did a great job making us feel comfortable, safe and entertained! They were friendly, talkative and fun. They chatted with us throughout the ride and pointed out various things. My 8 and 11 year old sons had a great time. The horses were well-behaved and responsive. We would definitely recommend taking a ride out at Gunstock!
