We really enjoyed our ride! The scenery was beautiful and the view from the top was incredible! The staff was very friendly and helpful. I was impressed by how well they cared for their horses. We’ve done many guided horseback rides but gunstock ranch was the most attentive to their animals. I was extremely impressed by Gunstock ranch and would definitely recommend them to anyone!

We really enjoyed our horseback ride! It was beautiful and the view from the top was amazing! The staff was incredibly helpful and kind. We’ve done a lot of guided rides all over the world but this ranch takes the very best care of their horses. They have special diets, weekly chiropractor visits, days off, and limited rides per day for the horses. I loved seeing how well these horses were treated. Everyone on this ranch from the horses to the workers seems happy and well taken care of. I was extremely impressed by gunstock ranch and will definitely recommend to everyone!

We were not able to enjoy the sweetheart horseback ride due to the weight limitations they pose on riders. We were unaware that the limit included your full gear, which makes a big difference. While we understand the need to make sure the horses are safe, there was nothing we saw on the ranch that would have impaired the animals. As we have horses ourselves, and some of the stock here were draft animals, there should have been no reason we couldn't enjoy the horseback tour.
That said, they were accommodating and switched us off to an ATV tour instead. This tour actually was a bit better as we were able to see much more of the ranch and enjoy a few hidden gems along the trail! Our guide was great and provided us with some history of the ranch and the island. We also received lunch on the trail, which was very adequate, as we even got to take some home with us!
If you are looking to explore the island in a bit more laid back & non-touristy way, then we'd definitely recommend the Gunstock Ranch!

Joey and Jacksy were awesome. They were obviously very well cared for. Tyler was a great guide. Don't second guess yourself, book it Dano!

We had a great time with a private tour guide and private lunch with a gorgeous view magical! The horses were very well mannered and easy to ride.

We were late to our family riding appointment (totally my fault). Thankfully the staff worked hard and got us an appointment for the following day (right after July 4). It was a different trail experience from our originally scheduled one (family trail ride changed to the sweetheart trail ride). It cost a bit more but we were so happy that they could accomodate us. It turned out to be a great experience as we rode to the top of a small hill and they had a picnic lunch waiting for us! Spectacular view of the landscape and ocean as we enjoyed a family picnic for a time and then back on the trail, returning to our starting point.

I booked this as a romantic excursion with my boyfriend and it was an amazing time! The views were awesome, the food was honestly delicious and they include so much! Makenna was our guide and Aspyn joined us as well. She was very knowledgable about the area and gave recommendations that fit so well for us. The horses were well trained and well behaved. This trail ride is super easy for anyone, even if you’ve never ridden before!

We booked this excursion through TripAdvisor. Later that day, we were notified that our tour time was not available and we needed to reach out to the ranch. I called and spoke with McKenzie. She was great!! She ended up booking my family and I on a private tour which was perfect. We got to the top of the trail, then had 30 minutes for a picnic lunch. Brooke and Gavin were our tour guides. They were so personable and very knowledgeable. We highly recommend.

Our tour guide Jessica did a great job of helping me and my boyfriend feel comfortable riding horses; it was our first time and this is definitely a do-able ride. I would recommend long sleeves, pants, and boots despite the heat as most of our trail was in direct sun. Lunch was partially shaded, and was delicious! Both my boyfriend and I couldn't finish our meals, and I took my soft cooler lunchbox home as a souvineer. The guide takes photos of you at the halfway point and they take other photos of you available to purchase at the end of the trip. Next ride I would want to try is their sunset dinner/campfire ride!
