Sunset Horseback Ride

Overview

At sunset, Oahu’s North Shore becomes magical, with colorful skies and billowing clouds that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a painting. This special time turns into an unforgettable experience when you witness it from horseback, traveling through quiet forests and beautiful mountain trails. That’s not to mention that at sunset everything cools down and all the birds start to sing. Trust us, it’s the best time of day to ride.

On the trail, you might see grazing cattle, native fruit trees, and even wild pigs. You’ll also have sneak peeks of the ocean below, leading up to the best part—a thrilling panoramic view from our scenic lookout. You’ll remember it for years to come.

As a Kama`āina, I always said I wanted to go horseback riding but never got around to doing it. This summer, we finally booked a tour, and we are so happy we did! What a fun experience! Gunstock Ranch does a great job making you feel welcome and comfortable from the moment you park. They show tremendous Aloha in the way they care for the land, their horses, and their customers. Our guides, Camilla and Drew, were so accommodating. They were patient, informative, and very warm. The sunset tour takes you to the top of a lookout that gives you a stunning view of Windward O`ahu. Itʻs absolutely breathtaking! We highly recommend Gunstock Ranch!

We enjoyed our sunset ride. It was very low key and relaxing. The ranch was doing a couple of promotions for July, so check the promotions section on their booking site. This was my son's (7- most of the other companies require older kids) first time on a horse, and he can't stop talking about it. The ranch is on the windward side, so you don't really see the sunset, but it's just a great time of day to go out. Our guide was Drew and he along with the other staff we met were very friendly. I felt bad b/c we don't do this sort of thing very often and I forgot about tips! Drew was kind enough to take some photos of us. He told us about the ranch, our horses, and some plant life, which was memorable and interesting. They also have a petting zoo with goats and sheep, which you can pay to feed. There were some baby lambs, and Drew caught one for us to pet after our ride. I guess we could have gone in, but my son was a little apprehensive. We also saw a playground with swings and a jungle gym, but we didn't use it b/c we didn't have long to wait as it was just us going. Overall, it was a nice, laid back experience, which my family enjoyed a lot.

This ride is beyond worth it! The views are amazing and the horses were great! The staff and tour guides were knowledgeable of the area and safety for the guests was the first and foremost priority of their operation. Highly recommend adding this to your trip agenda!
