Thank you so much for taking the time to post your feedback regarding your horseback ride at our Happy Trails horse ranch. It is regrettable that an error in booking, caused your family to participate in the shorter tour of only 1.5 hours, however we are delighted you enjoyed your first time horse experience!

Our well trained horses and excellent staff of wranglers make it possible for even first time riders to gain confidence as they learn how to ride and take in the beauty of our surroundings. Peaceful and remote from the noise of the city, exploring nature by horseback as you gaze out to the ocean waters is one of the best ways to enjoy our island paradise.
Mahalo and Happy Trails to you!

We really appreciate your feedback and reccomendation of our Happy Trails horseback riding tours! As you note, our horse ranch on the North Shore overlooking Waimea Bay, is rustic. We have tried to keep the land and trails as natural as possible, so that people can enjoy the peace and beauty of our islands scenery. Thank you for your patronage, and perhaps on your next visit, you may want to experience more ocean and mountain views and gp on the longer 2 hour tour. Happy Trails to you,

Mahalo Kaz for taking the time to post your comments regarding your horseback riding experience with our Happy Trails Hawaii horse ranch. In the winter month our trails which are located in a true rainforest area of O'ahu, is the wet season. We take measures to try to keep our guests shoes from getting muddy, and are glad you appreciate this effort.
We are happy you decided to take the 2 hour tour, which is 1 hour 45 minutes riding after the 15 minute briefing/lesson, as it goes higher up the mountain and gives one a bit more adventure. The majestic horses, peaceful riding enviornment and great guests is whey we love sharing our place in paradise! Thank you for your patronage and for sharing your enjoyment for the horse ride and sandal souvenir.

We are most appreciative of your kind comments regarding your horse ride
experience at our Happy Trails horse ranch. The trails do weave in and out of
sun filtered forests, which provides a welcome relief from the sun. We do suggest that beginners and familes with young children enjoy the 1.5 hour guided tour so it will be just the right amount of time. All of our tours
include approximately 15 minute lesson period, to assist with your riding knowledge and skills. After that, it is giddy up and enjoy our Happy Trails!

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments regarding your horseback riding experience at our Happy Trails. As you note, our well trained horses, friendly and professional wranglers make riding these majestic large and gentle animals relatively easy for beginners to enjoy themselves with little worry. Our constant goal is to offer an enjoyable adventure that is fairly priced for the value of our services and to maintain the health of our hard working horses. Mahalo and Happy Trails!

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments about your horseback riding experience at our Happy Trails horse ranch. Due to popular requests, we now have instructions at our ranch for our Japanese guests to review, that will help with our language difference. Most important words of instruction, though broken Japanese, are taught to each of our staff.

The 1.5 hour tour does have less views of the ocean, there are twice as many vistas on the longer 2 hour tour. The ride is a mountain trail ride through forests ( providing nice shade) and valleys - which gives the excitement over basic flat trails. I hope you had a chance to sample some of our tropical fruits we offer guests. Thank you and Happy Trails to you!

Your expression of the super enjoyment you felt to participate on our Happy Trails horseback riding tour is exciting and makes us feel very joyful! As a family owned and operated business for 18 years, we strive to make each guest feel comfortable and at home in this quiet natural beauty of the north shore. Your comments sound like you completely enjoyed all the splendor of our horseride
and the charm of O'ahu's countryside. As you mentioned, it is really quite easy to find our location, as soon as you escape the busy city. Happy Trails and thank you for sharing your vacation experience with us!

Thank you for your sharing your enjoyment of our horseback trail rides.
Car rentals can take about 45 minutes to 1 hour, more than people expect.
We are happy that we could split our group of riders on this day, so that you
would not miss out on your riding activity. Whenever we can we try to work with late arriving guests, though allowing ample time is important.
Now that you have built up your confidence, come ride with us again when you return to our island paradise. Happy Trails to you!

Thank you for taking your time to express the pleasure you experienced at our Happy Trails horse ranch! We are so delighted your entire family could share this special bond and adventure while on holiday in Hawaii.

any place other than at our entrance. We welcome any suggestions to make find our location a bit easier. We are honored you enjoyed your horseback ride so much, that you would come again! Horseback riding can be very exciting, peaceful and addicting!! Mahalo and Happy Trails to you!

It is nice to hear that your 7 year old daughter enjoyed her horseback riding experience so much, she wants to continue to when she is home in Japan!
We work on training our horses so that we can accommodate a variety of rider's abilities. That factor, along with our experienced and professional staff of horse wranglers, make it possible for even first time riders to participate!
Regarding the weather, our location is just over 1.5 kilometers above the beach, and is normally 2 degrees celsius cooler. Unless is it is the summer season, it is always best to pack a long sleeve or light jacket.
Please come to visit our Happy Trails horse ranch again, when you return to Hawaii.

Thank you for trying to horseback ride with us again during your vacation to Hawaii. It is very good that this time the weather was more cooperative and you were able to enjoy yourselves! December weather can be very unpredictable.
Sometimes beautiful and sunny, other times rainy. If we ar fortunate, there will be just the right amount during the season, as it helps to keep our tropical rainforest lush and green.
It would be our pleasure to see you again on the longer two hour tour, or anytime you desire a pleasant and enjoyable experience on horseback. Happy Trails to you!

Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience at our Happy Trails Horse ranch.
Many of the more interesting places to explore are located outside of Waikiki, so a car rental is highly suggested for at least one or two days. The Bus is a very good option, however as you note, it does not travel up Pupukea Road. Fortunately, Mark was available to drive you down the road where you were able to take the bus to continue your journey.

Our horses and staff have been well trained to ensure that all riders feel comfortable in the saddle, to be able to enjoy both the adventure and beauty of horseback riding in paradise! Happy Trails to you!

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your comments regarding your pleasurable horse riding experience at Happy Trails Hawaii!
It gives us much satisfaction to provide our guests with a quality adventure and fun activity, especially one that familes can do together. Please come again and Happy Trails to you!

Aloha, thank you for sharing your comments regarding your experience at our Happy Trails riding facility. We recognize that is can be difficult to communicate with our guests from various countries, and do our very best to learn at least a few words in several languages to assist in helping each rider experience the joy of horseback riding in paradise.

As you note, a car rental is necessary to reach us. The small group size of our trail rides, a maximum of 8 - 11 riders on each ride, does not permit us to provide transportation at our low, value priced fee. Our goal is to focus on offering quality, value and smaller sized groups for a more personal experience. This way, more people can participate in the conquest of riding these majestic creatures.

We are the only licensed ranch on O'ahu that permits a family to bring children as young as 6 years of age to ride their own horse, and this takes a great deal of training of both our wranglers and horses. You may have notice

We appreciate the sharing of your horseback trail riding experience with our Happy Trails horse ranch. As you noted, while our tours are managable for young children and beginners, our trails involve active participation to manuver your horse up and down hills along the ride. Our well trained horses and excellent trail guides work dilligently to ensure each guest experience is a memorable good time. Adventure, safety, and the discovery of our peaceful North Shore paradise by horseback, is the ultimate for animal and nature lovers alike.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback to us regarding your horseback riding experience. We are happy to learn that your 8 year old daughter especially enjoyed herself and wants to do it again!
Our guests safety, and good memories of their horseback ride at our Happy Trails are all we could ask for. Your patronage is very much appreciated. Happy Trails to you!

We are delighted that you were able to experience our 2 hour guided horseback tour with your young child. We recognize that there are so few activities
that families can enjoy together, therefore we have made a concentrated effort to train our horses and guides to make even the first time rider feel comfortable and secure.

We are glad to learn that you were able to capture some nice photos of the ocean and mountain scenery along the trails. We are blessed to have such
a peaceful place to share with guests like yourself. Thank you for making the
effort to drive to our ranch and to write about your experience with our Happy Trails Hawaii. I have noted your comments regarding the signage and we will
make arrangements to add another sign for the outside of the entrance.
