No. The horseback ride stays at a walk because the sand is too deep for trotting or cantering.

Green building at Hawaii Polo Oceanfront Trail Rides
This oceanfront trail ride delivers exactly what most visitors dream of when they picture horseback riding in Hawaii. The setting is genuinely spectacular, with riders treated to sweeping ocean views paired with mountain backdrops that make for incredible photo opportunities. What stands out across experiences is how well-cared-for and calm the horses are – many reviewers mention they're gentle, well-trained, and know the trail perfectly, making this suitable even for those who haven't ridden in years. The guides consistently earn praise for being attentive, patient, and genuinely helpful with taking photos so everyone can capture the moment. The staff clearly has a deep connection with their horses, treating them like family rather than just working animals, which creates a really special atmosphere. Groups are kept small, adding to the personalized feel that families especially appreciate. One longtime local even called it the best trail ride experience on Oahu after trying multiple locations over the years. The pace is relaxed and unhurried, perfect for soaking in the scenery, though one rider did mention wishing it moved a bit faster. The ride itself is apparently longer than many comparable experiences, giving you more time along the beach. Whether you're an experienced rider or it's been decades since you've been in the saddle, this seems to be a reliably wonderful way to experience Hawaii's coastline.
I had the best beach trail ride with local guide Siena. She had all the answers to my questions and made me feel comfortable on the horse. The scenery was gorgeous - mountains and beach all in one - and I have the best pictures to remember the experience!
