On our pony rides, your keiki (kids) have a chance to do something they'll always feel proud of. Riding a horse is an unforgettable experience for kids, and our wranglers will help them become little wranglers in a setting that’s safe and comfortable. Parents can walk alongside their child at no charge and get a few great photos along the way. Parents can also ride a horse alongside their child for the same price. One of our wranglers will lead, or “pony”, the horse while the kids sit in the saddle and feel on top of the world. Parents and kids alike can take in the beautiful scenery on the ranch, enjoying native Hawaiian plants, birds, and a cool, fresh breeze. Gunstock Ranch is situated in one of the most picturesque spots on Oahu’s North Shore, so there’s plenty for all ages to appreciate. After the ride, children will have a chance to feed and pet the horses for the perfect end to a great adventure.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE REFUND POLICY. It is in accurate they will not refund you 50% Apparently they claim that this trip advisors policy even though it is clearly written that anytime before trip as long as it is within 2 hrs of scheduled visit they will give you 50% refund and full refund 24 hrs prior. Called them the morning of our trip at 8 am and the trip was for 2:30 pm They claim trip advisor won’t refund me But then trip advisor says they will most definitely refund me but they aren’t answering trip advisors phone calls or emails. This place needs to get reported/fined for false advertising. Very dissatisfied and upsetting that because of an urgent matter they couldn’t even care to help out us. It’s so simple to be a good business and help people.

Everyone always wants to jump on and ride fast when they’re with horses, and that’s exactly what our advanced ride is for. Experienced riders can kick up the energy a little and have a horseback adventure in a truly spectacular natural setting—Oahu’s North Shore. Guided by one of our wranglers, you’ll strike out onto technical trails and across open pastures, passing grazing cows who just might sneak a peek to see your skills! This ride involves trotting and cantering, and it’s important that all participants have previous riding experience. Wranglers will assess riding skills and will base the pace of the ride on the skill level of the least experienced rider in the group. Our wranglers are well-trained and ready for anything, so as long as you have the horse skills needed, you’ll have a fun and safe experience.

After riding through the Hawaiian countryside by horseback, you’ll feel a special closeness to this beautiful place, and there’s no better way to give back to the ‘aina (land) than by planting a native tree in our Legacy Forest. This eco-tour is part of a huge reforestation effort in partnership with Hawaii Legacy Reforestation Initiative, and you’ll be able to make a difference in the preservation of Oahu’s North Shore. You and your horse will travel up our scenic mountain trails, exploring peaceful forests, open pastures, and gorgeous ocean views. Once at the Legacy Forest you’ll personally plant a native tree during a special ceremony. With an upgrade to your tour, you can also plant additional trackable trees. Each trackable tree is uniquely paired to you through our proprietary GPS technology, which will allow you to monitor it remotely and return to visit whenever you’d like to see its progress. You may also dedicate a tree in honor of a loved one or special event.

An unforgettable eco-adventure It’s a beautiful experience to plant a tree, and it’s even more special when you can immerse yourself in the land where the new tree will grow. After you plant a monarch milo tree in the Legacy Forest, you’ll buckle up in a rugged off-road vehicle and cruise down jungle paths and mountain trails, seeing wildlife, learning stories of the land, and maybe even trying some local fruit if it’s in season. At the top of the ranch, overlooking the ocean, you’ll sit down to enjoy a local picnic lunch in a private and relaxing setting. This is a great time to soak up the beautiful sights and sounds and reflect on the positive legacy you’ve left behind by planting a native tree. An upgrade to a trackable tree is also available, which links you to the tree through proprietary GPS technology, part of our partnership with Hawaii Legacy Reforestation Initiative. This includes a special dedication to honor a loved one or celebrate a special event.

John is AWESOME!!! We had SUCH a FABULOUS time doing our Engagement Photo Shoot with John in Hawaii last month. From the moment he picked us up at our Hotel in Waikiki, I knew we were in good hands. He made us feel really comfortable from the get-go and we are really pleased with how all the photos turn out. I would highly recommend using John for your couple photo shoot needs. What a Great Experience! We plan to take more pictures with John the next time we are back visiting Oahu!
