Aloha, welina mai, ‘ano ‘ai. Greetings, and welcome!
Located on 80 acres of beachfront private property on the famous North Shore of O’ahu, North Shore Stables is a hidden gem nestled in the quiet, historic countryside of Waialua.

North Shore Stables offers the only ATV experience on O’ahu. Each driver has their own 4-wheel ATV, this is not a UTV which has a steering wheel and only one driver.
