Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It was super fun and cute Alex was very nice and helpful the horses were a lot hungry because we went on the sunset ride so they were a little more difficult to control for some people. But it was amazing and Alex took great pics for us.

Tina was a friendly and engaging guide with lots of interesting information along the trail.
The trail is easy, the horses very relaxed and happy to be out for the wander.

My granddaughter chose this as her activity on our recent trip to the island of Oahu. Phoebe and Madison paired us with horses that matched our horseback riding skills and sizes. Madison was our guide and she was absolutely wonderful. We came across two dogs walking off-leash who barked and startled the horses. Not being horseback riders this made us all a little nervous. Madison jumped off her horse talking to my granddaughter the whole time and holding on to her horse to make sure she knew she was safe. She found a new route for us to take so that we didn't have to go by the dogs. We were still able to take in the beauty of the trails and coastline.

Superb, super friendly, well loved horses. Kylie was my guide and Jet was my steed. Walk trot and plenty of canters through the stunning Turtle bay grounds. Kylie was so knowledgeable and genuinely lovely person. Jet was amazing, I hardly need do anything he knew what to do. I’ve ridden english saddles but found western style easier.
Fully fully recommend an early trip with these guys. Clearly see they love the horses and what they do.

Luis and Raul are the best trainers and guides we could ask for in the hour long horse riding session,and loved sharing that experience with Lio, the horse. The trail for the session is nothing short of divine with beautiful beaches on one side and forests on the other. Would definitely recommend this for anyone visiting North Shore Oahu.

In just minutes we were safely on horseback and enjoying ourselves. The horses seem happy and healthy and the beachfront ride and photo opportunities were just what I dreamed. Recommended.

We went as a couple and had a fantastic time. The ride was beautiful and our guide pointed out movie sets and other tips about the area. It was an amazing experience.

Oh my goodness, if I could put 10 stars, I would!! Definite 10 out of 10 experience! My daughter and I rode the Late Afternoon ride with Kylie and it was a dream. Perfect time of day. Most of the ride was in dappled shade so it was never hot and unpleasant. My horse, Ben, and my daughter’s horse, Kaehu, were both very sweet. Neither of us are experienced riders so they found the perfect horses for our skill level. They will accommodate the most advanced riders as well as those who have never sat on a saddle. All the horses at the stable are obviously well-cared for and happy which means a great ride experience. Turtle Bay has breathtaking views of the ocean and we were able to ride parallel to the beach for much of the ride. I wanted to pinch myself because it felt like a dream. We even saw two honu turtles in the ocean. Worth every penny and then some. When I return, I want to go back. No doubt.

Are sunset rides available during the month of July 2018?

Yes. We were there in October and the horse riding operator were more than happy to tailor the ride to suit age of children, time of day and length of the ride you wish. If you email turtle bay resort they should be able to let you know the latest time the ride will leave. Be shaw to book..... They do book out

How do I make reservations?

There is a number to call to make reservations. I first tried calling from our room. No one answered so I left a message which was never returned. I wound up making the reservation at the activities desk in the lobby. Unless it's peak season, I don't think you need to worry about reserving before you arrive. I was able to make same day reservations in April and since we were the only couple booked, we got a private ride at regular price!

My children are 7 and 9 and have no horse riding experience. Is the 45 minute trail ride or sunset ride suitable for them?

I think so. My daughters also 7 years old who only has short pony ride experience. But they enjoyed the ride by themselves. Their horse is well trained for kids so do not worry about it. Staffs are also very friendly. Please enjoy the ride with remarkable ocean view.

Hi there,
We are visiting Turtle Bay next year for our honeymoon and wanted to ask opinions on which horse ride is best - the sunset or the trail ride? I'm a competent rider but my partner is a beginner. Thanks in advance!

We took the sunset horsehide. HIGHLY recommended. There were 5 in my family I paid 125 each. Honestly, it was so worth it.
