Private Advanced Trail Ride

Overview

Everyone always wants to jump on and ride fast when they’re with horses, and that’s exactly what our advanced ride is for. Experienced riders can kick up the energy a little and have a horseback adventure in a truly spectacular natural setting—Oahu’s North Shore. Guided by one of our wranglers, you’ll strike out onto technical trails and across open pastures, passing grazing cows who just might sneak a peek to see your skills!

This ride involves trotting and cantering, and it’s important that all participants have previous riding experience. Wranglers will assess riding skills and will base the pace of the ride on the skill level of the least experienced rider in the group. Our wranglers are well-trained and ready for anything, so as long as you have the horse skills needed, you’ll have a fun and safe experience.

We had an amazing ride at Gunstock Ranch. My partner and I booked an advanced private trail ride and it exceeded all expectations. The horses were fit and forward going and the scenery we rode through was incredibly beautiful. I was very impressed by all the staff and how the wranglers explained how they expected their horses to be treated. Our guide Summer was absolutely fantastic. A guide like her totally takes a normal trail ride to the next level, she was engaging, bright and knowledgeable, and it was clear she enjoyed her work. We felt she made sure we had a memorable experience. I would recommend this ranch to anyone visiting Oahu

Absolutely incredible experience at Gunstock Ranch! The advanced ride was an absolute blast—definitely a highlight of my entire trip to Hawaii. The scenery was breathtaking, the horses were fantastic, and the ride itself was so much fun. Huge shoutout to my wrangler, Heather—she was an amazing and talented guide who made the experience even better. Could not recommend this place enough! I’ll definitely be back!

An absolutely glorious way of spending a morning. Cooper was the perfect guide. He was super-conscientious about ensuring that I was comfortable with my horse and the ride (I was). He was knowledgeable about horses, Hawaii, the ranch, and the trails. And he was genuinely delightful company; it was a joy to ride and chat with him. Raider was a wonderful horse for the purpose: calm, strong, well-trained. (Waffles, Cooper's horse, was lovely too. You can tell that the horses here are well cared for). The trails were indescribably beautiful, alive with golden plovers and monarch butterflies. There were calm walks through trees, exhilarating gallops uphill, and stunning views of the North Shore when we made the summit. If you like trail riding, this is a must-do. Even if you don't, the ranch is well worth seeing. My heartfelt thanks to Cooper, Raider, and Waffles for one of the best mornings I've had in Hawaii.
