Review of Gunstock Ranch’s private advanced horseback ride on Oahu, with pricing, pace rules, safety tips, itinerary details, and booking advice.

“We booked in advance trail and automatically said we would only walk because one of us only rode 4 times, we only estimated fourth but it probably was more than that and they wouldn’t even allow us to try and trot. It was a little boring but great views. Our time was cut really short as well, we booked for two hours only rode for about an hour and 20 minutes.”
