Gunstock Ranch

First timers at this ranch & we were so happy that we came! Our whole experience - beginning to end, was amazing! The staff were extremely friendly, our tour guide SUMMER was incredible! She was very sweet, knowledgeable, and really made us feel like we were apart of the Ranch family for a day The hour long horse ride was perfect for us! So grateful we got to experience riding horses on one of the most beautiful destinations on our island!New Core Memory Un-locked!10/10 recommend!

We booked a pony ride for our 5 year old daughter that's been obsessed with horses. Jared was our wrangler and did an awesome job leading Nelly the horse on a nice relaxing ride. We got to feed her and brush her afterwards. The whole ranch is such a great experience, lots of friendly faces, animals to pet and pretty sites to see. Can't wait until she's a little older and we can all ride together.

Our tour was great and Ang was a great guide! She is so knowledgeable and very kind. We will definitely be coming back!

Ocean and Mateo made this visit amazing for us. We had the last tour of the day and they still had lots of energy and made sure we were comfortable and ready to go. Highly recommend!

Their horse tried to kill me but otherwise it was a pleasant experience.My husband took me on a private horseback tour with lunch for Valentine's Day and it was such an awesome surprise! Super romantic and a lot of fun. Gunstock ranch painted their horses with animal safe paint for the occasion so they had cute pink hearts and said things like "be mine". Awwww!The staff were all very friendly and the place was very nice and well- maintained. Bathrooms were clean. Equipment was in good condition. The 2 hour adventure we did included a private guide and a picnic lunch which we enjoyed at a lookout point where we could see the ocean and enjoy cool breezes. The ride was mostly slow and easy. Where things went sideways was it turned out that our guide's horse, Nani does not like gates and my horse Meatloaf does not like Nani. When our guide was paused to open a gate (there's a series of them along the trail ride) she said the person before her didn't latch it properly so she was taking a while to open it. Nani got restless and she spooked Meatloaf who reared up like something out of a western movie which me hanging on for dear life on his back!!!!!! I was terrified and it all happened so quickly. My area to fall on was a barbed wire fence or a metal gate. :)Luckily I'm good at holding on and have ridden horses before and my husband is calm under pressure so he said, "just hang on" and when Meatloaf stopped bucking he told me to get him to eat the bushes on the side to calm down. Luckily his face mask broke off while we were eating lunch so he was distracted by eating bushes afterwards.I had to ride the rest of the way shaking a bit and I couldn't wait to dismount. Other than that, it was fine haha. I wish the guide would have disclosed that information prior to the incident because I could have stayed further back or we could have ridden in a different order with my husband in between. I even asked before the tour started if all our horses got along because this is what causes horses to spook. The guide said me and my husbands horses were "best friends". She did not tell us about her horse not being cool with gates or my horse not liking hers.

Went horseback riding at the Gunstock ranch. It's a smooth ride to view a working ranch. The guides ask about your experience with riding. I only ride occasionally so I got matched with a mellow horse. The view is wonderful and worth the price. You need to constantly keep your horse in check because they want to eat the grass.The shirts are cute and enjoyed looking at the other horses with their unique colors and personalities.

I feel a little guilty giving a less than 5 star review given how many people enjoy and praise Gunstock Ranch, but I felt that I needed to speak truthfully about my experience. The check-in process was smooth as we had booked in advance. They have restrooms on site for you to utilize. They allow you to pet some of the horses while waiting, and they have a petting zoo of cows, goats, and rabbits as well. The wranglers are all great in helping you to get on your hose safely and feel comfortable on your horse. We did the 1.5 hour scenic walking tour. Once our horses were lined up, we set out. All was going smoothly, but the number of times that we paused was beginning to get frustrating. I understand that the wranglers have to ensure everyone is staying in line and also wait for the group when a horse is going to the bathroom, but at some point, it gets very tiring to trot about 10 steps and then pause over and over again.The individual at the front of the line was lucky to get to talk to the wrangler and hear some facts about the ranch and where we were walking through. The rest of us in the middle and back though, we didn't get to hear anything. Previous horseback riding tours I've been on usually had more talkative wranglers that made the experience more engaged. For being in the middle of the line, the whole tour was really in silence for me, I wasn't really sure what I was looking at while we were going other than seeing two baby calves. We got to the scenic point where our photos were taken (and sadly they were never uploaded for us to purchase). The scenic point was beautiful, the nature and surroundings were too, I just wish we got to interact more with the wranglers to hear more about the history.Given the reviews, I expected a little more from the service here. My horse was adorable and well behaved though, and I felt safe during the entirety of the ride.

Amazing Keiki ride with my boy and his bestie today. We had the best time! The kids are three years old. my kiddo rode the lovely Libby and his friend rode Buttons. Both were sweet and docile, perfect for a couple of pony rides. The best part? They're not mini horses or Shetlands. These were actual horses. Talei was excellent with the kids and the adults. She instantly put them at ease. She was kind, patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. She took us on a 20 minute walk then let the kids feed and brush Buttons.We then enjoyed the petting area with the super sweet cow, goats, and lambs. Gunstock is an amazingly beautiful place and I really want to explore more of it on my own ride.

I'm not exactly afraid of horses but I would be lying if I said I was confident around them. Not to worry though, our guide, Ocean, gave great instruction and was a pleasure to be with. My horse, Remi, and my pal's horse, Libby, were super sweet. We thoroughly enjoyed the landscape and learning about local flora, fauna, and history. If you are on the fence about going for a ride, do it! Have fun.

Such a beautiful experience. My daughter and our best friends wrapped up a trip with horseback riding. The ride was about an hour and they got to pet and love on the horses afterwards. The trail rider we went with was awesome as well. The horses were polite the ranch looked so clean and the horses have so much room to roam and in the evening. And Don't forget to purchase some ground beef!!!
