Horseback Ride Like an Authentic Paniolo in Kahuku
Description
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.

Guides were great! They were super nice, attentive and helpful. Beautiful ride with beautiful views . We had a wonderful time.
Thanks for the review! We are glad to hear you had an enjoyable visit to the ranch! Come back soon! Mahalo!
We did the 1.5 hour horseback ride with Connor as our guide and couldn't have been happier with our experience. It was safe, relaxing and beautiful. Connor was very outgoing and we enjoyed conversation with him the whole time. It was only my husband and I so it was nice and personalized. We would definitely visit again. Highly recommend!
Aloha, thank you for the review. We are delighted to hear of your experience on the ranch. We are excited to see y'all again!
Such a beautiful ranch. Everyone was so nice and the ride was peaceful. We loved all of our horses. It was pretty awesome to see all female wranglers. We got there an hour early and walked around. Pet and fed the animals. 11/10 Experience. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful location with healthy horses, easy for beginners to feel comfortable. Great, hospitable guide.
Our family of 11 had the absolute best time horseback riding with Josh and Syndi! From start to finish, they made the entire experience fun, safe, and unforgettable. Josh and Syndi were incredible tour guides—super friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They made sure everyone felt comfortable, no matter their riding experience, and kept the energy light and enjoyable the whole time. The horses were just as amazing—well-trained, gentle, and perfect for our group. You can tell they are well cared for and matched thoughtfully with each rider. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip. If you’re thinking about booking, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it!
Aloha, thank you for your kind review! We love our amazing horses and awesome wranglers. We are delighted your family had a wonderful time! We hope to see y'all again soon!
Beautiful scenery horses were well cared for. Young people managed the tour no real information about ranch or area. If I did it again I would probably not take this tour I would do a different one.
We had a great scenic trail ride with Raegan as our guide today. She was so knowledgeable about the horses and the ranch. It was our daughter’s first time on a longer ride and everyone was so helpful to make her feel comfortable. We had some light rain during the ride but it did not affect the experience at all.
The ranch was absolutely beautiful! Josh and Devin were great guides. Kenai was a great horse, will definitely come back and recommend others to come!
Great experience. Right from the start, staff was amazing; everyone we talked to at the ranch was great. Our guide was friendly and talked the whole time. Horses well taken care of. Loved it!
We had an wonderful experience. Our guide Connor was outstanding and horses were very well trained. We did a tour at 9 AM and we were lucky enough to be the only participants. So it was like a private tour experience. Beautiful weather, stunning views and even a boar basking in the mud. Definitely recommend! Just don’t forget a good sun cream.
