Frequently Asked Questions
Do we have to wear helmets?

Do we get to go on the beach?

Can I take pictures?
Guides can take pictures for you if you bring a small camera at no extra charge.
Where will we be riding?
Along the beach and up and down Oahu’s famous North Shore.
What kind of horses will we be riding?
Polo horses; thoroughbred, quarterhorse, or a mix.
How long is the ride?
The ride is between 60-90 minutes and varies based on group sizes and how individual horses move.
What if I have medical problems (heart issues, back problems, etc.)?
You must be physically able to ride and stay on a horse safely (in extreme cases it is staff decision). Let us know if you have any issues.
How old do my kids have to be to ride?
Due to our insurance not covering any keiki under 8, the minimum age requirement is 8 years old!
Maximum weight to ride?
230 lbs.
Do you provide transportation?
No, we are not currently offering transportation but hope to do so in the near future!
I am staying in town / Waikiki / Honolulu and will be driving. When should I leave?
Traffic depending, it would be safe to leave an hour to an hour and a half before check-in time (30 minutes prior to activity start time).
Do you have directions?
Click “here” for directions to our facility!
What is your cancellation policy?
30 minutes prior to the ride start time is the HARD arrival check in. We have a 48-hour cancellation policy, meaning that if you cancel within 48 hours of your tour start time, there will be no refunds issued. Rainouts/cancellations due to weather are at company discretion. We ride rain or shine.
Can we trot or canter during the ride?
Our trail is a guided walking trail along the beach. The sand in Hawaii is too deep for the horses to go faster than a walk. Safety is our top priority for both our guests and horses, so we do not permit trotting or cantering.
