Private advanced horseback ride on Oahu’s Gunstock Ranch: 600 acres, trot and canter, helmet provided, wrangler guidance, and a calm pace.
“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.”
