Have a magical evening together This is the ultimate paniolo experience, and we’re confident you’ll have a special and unforgettable evening. You set off on your horseback ride in the cooler portion of the day and travel under sunset skies on your way to our signature mountain lookout point. Your guide will share stories about the ranch and the surrounding areas along the way and point out some of the sights, including peacefully grazing cattle, ocean views, and maybe even wild pigs! Once at the lookout, you’ll enjoy a fresh, locally catered meal, kept warm for you by the campfire. Enjoy the spectacular panoramic view as you dine in a quiet, private setting. If you’d like, you can even roast some marshmallows and chat around the fire before heading back down. When it’s time to saddle up again, you’ll be riding home in the light of dusk. It’s a special way to experience Oahu’s North Shore and the perfect addition to your Hawaiian adventure.

What a great way to spend our 30th anniversary. Naomi was a great guide and taught us a lot about the area and local habitats. I would recommend this to everyone coming to the island. All the ladies were friendly and helpful. I can’t forget Seka and Gimley.
Absolutely was the best experience! 100/10 would recommend!! The dinner was amazing and the views were beautiful. You can see how well taken care of and how loved all of the animals are by everyone who works here! Brielle was our guide and was super knowledgeable of the ranch and the horses. She made the experience so much fun as well as Buckles & Rondo, I will definitely be back the next time I visit Hawaii!!
Mahalo nui for the great rating and kind review! We are always striving for a 100/10 experience and are delighted to hear we achieved it with your family! We hope you will visit again soon!
We had such a great time! Everything was super fun and well put together. Devin & Mia were really friendly and made the whole experience even better. The horses we had, Tex, Mowgli, Mochi, Tonto, and Ikaika were amazing too! Definitely worth it and would recommend it to anyone looking for something fun to do. Would 100% do it again!
We are so happy you enjoyed your visit to the ranch. Devin & Mia are pretty awesome gals. Tex, Mowgli, Mochi, Tonto, and Ikaika are some of the best horses out there! We can't wait to see y'all again. Mahalo!
Romantic sunset picnic dinner with my Partner and a horseback ride. My Girlfriend was more than impressed and super happy that I booked this for her. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend. The smores set and open fire pit was an unexpected bonus. 👍🏽
You can never go wrong with s’mores and a campfire. We’re happy to hear you had a great time, Mahalo!
Louis our guide was incredible!! He made it the best experience possible. The views were amazing and the food was very good. My daughter loved the campfire and smores. Great way to end our wonderful vacation.
Thank you for including Gunstock Ranch on your itinerary for your visit to the island. I am so glad to hear that it was such a positive experience. Hopefully we will see you around again.
That it is amazing and the guides are top tier. Our guide Alanna was a complete sweetheart, who was full of amazing information about the history of the ranch, the island, and all of Hawaii. If we ever comeback to Hawaii we will definitely be making a stop here again. And will ask for Alanna again.
This is a fantastic experience! My husband was very surprised. Jared and Liv were very knowledgeable (even though Liv had not been in Hawaii very long) and our horses Jacksie and the Halflinger (I forgot his name!) were very sweet and good natured. It is obvious they take great care of their horses. We are experienced horseback riders, but we thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking views of the island! We didn't take many photos, but we have those memories in our head that will last (hopefully!) a lietime. Take the trip!! It is worth evey penny!
This was such a great experience. Our tour guide, Ocean, was friendly and fun. We both loved Skeeter and Buckles — great horses! (Please give them all the treats—they were good boys). Actually, give all the horses treats.
Cooper, Scooby, and Grimley were all amazing! Magical evening with a wonderful view for dinner. Highly recommended the private tour!!!!
Mahalo for your review! We are so happy to hear you had a good time with Cooper, Scooby and Grimley!
This experience was AMAZING!!! The private dinner tour is so much fun and special to do with your partner. Tour guide OCEAN was AMAZING!! She made this experience perfect for me and my partner. I 100% will recommend this to people.
Mahalo for your review. Thank you for coming, we are happy to hear you had a great time on the dinner ride with Ocean!
