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.

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. 👍🏽

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.

Our experience riding with Mateo at Gunstock Ranch was exceptional! Mateo was not only knowledgeable and skilled with the horses, but he also made the ride enjoyable and educational. The scenery along the trail was breathtaking, and he has picked a wonderful spot for my daughter and I to have our dinner, the swing was such a nice touch. I highly recommend booking a ride with Mateo at Gunstock Ranch for an unforgettable horseback adventure!

This was the best way to end our trip. The Ranch was beautiful and so were the animals. We had an amazing time riding the horses up to the spot where we ate dinner. The views were AMAZING and Jaidyn (our tour guide) was very friendly and shared a lot of information about the ranch and Hawaii. I recommend this experience to anyone!

So let me start by saying I never leave reviews but this excursion was so beautiful. all the staff was super nice. We went on a tour with Jordan and met Kenzie at the top both really personable and knowledgeable. You can tell they absolutely love being there. The scenery and horses were beautiful. They have a little petting zoo as well if you want to feed some goats or sheep. Really cute if you have kids with you. The food was also really good. Tasty and a more than decent portion. They even set up a fire for s’mores at the end. It’s quiet peaceful and a beautiful experience to take in!

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Our trail ride was amazing! My husband, daughter and I weren’t expecting a private ride but that’s what we got. The dinner was yummy and the views were breathtaking. Our guide Isa & Eddie(her horse) and our horsies Ozzie, Joy and Kip were great as well. Will definitely come back.
