In Oahu, or anywhere in Hawaii for that matter, sunsets are typically enjoyed on the beach, in the background of pristine crystal clear waters of the Hawaiian seas.
While marvelling at the beautifully colored sunset sky by the ocean is undoubtedly awesome, you can also have an equally awesome and absolutely extraordinary sunset experience by the countryside, while on an exciting horseback riding adventure. Come and let Gunstock Ranch give you this unforgettable experience by booking its Sunset Rides!
Located on Oahu’s North Shore, Gunstock Ranch is an esteemed tour company that offers an authentic Hawaiian experience far from the big crowds gathering by the waters, and instead closer to the Island’s beautiful mountain scenes, making known to tourists that the Hawaiian countryside is as exceptionally beautiful as its seaside views. For this tour in particular, Gunstock Ranch’s Sunset Ride is a 2-hour horseback riding adventure that starts late in the afternoon, just in time for you to ride under the stunning Hawaiian sunset skies on your way to the finest mountain lookout point in the area.
Once there, get ready to gaze in awe at the stunning panoramic views of the windward coastline of Oahu! Make sure your cameras are ready to take loads of photos of this spectacular sight! After the sightseeing, which, frankly, you wish would never come to an end, you have the option to head back down, or make the experience extra sweeter by availing of the fireside dinner add-on. When you book Gunstock Ranch’s Sunset Ride with the dinner option, you and your companions will enjoy a scrumptious locally-catered meal, kept warm for you by the campfire. While enjoying the delicious food by the campfire, you will also still be able to enjoy the spectacular views from above. Truly, a campfire dinner cannot get any lovelier than this, and is definitely a great way to cap off that horseback riding and sightseeing adventure!
At sunset, it gets cooler, and everything gets highlighted by the vibrant golden hues of the sun, which is why most say that it is the best time of the day to ride. Apart from this, Gunstock Ranch’s Sunset Ride also features beautiful natural views on the way to the lookout point, such as cattle peacefully grazing in the fields, lush greenery dancing freely with the breeze, and wild pigs enjoying themselves in their natural homes. This is something not everyone gets to enjoy when vacationing in Oahu, so make sure to not pass up on this opportunity to discover the unexplored parts of the Island! What’s great about Gunstock Ranch’s Sunset Ride is that you get to enjoy the sights surrounding you at a relaxed pace, as it is a walk-only ride. As no trotting and cantering will be allowed for the entirety of the horseback ride, anyone and everyone is welcome, even beginners and young riders! Gunstock Ranch’s Sunset Ride is guaranteed safe, not only because it is a relaxed walk-only ride, but also because you will be properly guided by an experienced wrangler tour guide, who will assist you in every step of the way and will only leave temporarily during your private fireside dinner. Don’t hesitate to ask your guide about anything, as Gunstock Ranch’s tour guides are well-skilled and knowledgeable about Oahu’s treasured Ko’olau Mountain Ranch!
