Great ride on a working farm. Saw wild horses running free and we rode up and down the hillside trails

Tracy_A

Really lovely horseback ride around a farm with so many different fruit trees, cows, horses, and other delights! A great break from another day of sitting on the beach. The whole family really enjoyed it.

We had the best ride with Micah! He was engaging and fun. The horses were obviously well cared for and loved. The ride was really fun- awesome trail route through the farm and ranch. Got to see many cool plants and fruits. LOVED IT! We’ll definitely be back.

The ride at Waipi’o on horseback was the best part of my trip. Our guides, Tess and Micah were great! There were 7 people on our ride. Tess was our front guide and very knowledgeable about the beautiful 600 acre ranch. The horses were well mannered. We had a chance to trot and canter if we desired. If I ever return to Kona, I will definately be doing another ride here.

It was a great morning. The guides were very knowledgeable and attentive. It’s a long ride especially if you’re not used to being on a horse. With that being said it was well worth it for the views.

My wife an dI have been coming to the Big Island each year in Febraury since 2008. A "must do" on our list is a horseback excursion and we've done them all. While we have done the Waipio Valley version of this excursion in the past, this was out first time doinog the mountain ride across the ranch - it was by far the best one we've expereince yet. If you want to ride, this will not disappoint.

We can't begin to emphasise how much of a wonderful and magical experience this was. Our trail guide (Kiana?) was incredibly friendly and informative and took the time to assign horses based on experience. We are relatively experienced riders but had a couple of complete novices in the group and in all the horses were easy to ride. The landscape was incredibly beautiful and the quiet was both invigorating and rejuvenating. The weather was perfect, it was sunny and yet the breezes off the sea made it a perfect day. We would highly recommend it, and also to visit the Waip’io Valley, just down the road - which is gorgeous.

I am not an avid horse rider - this was only my second experience out. Kiana was sweet, knowledgeable and very matching us up with the right horse. The trail was beautiful, complete with packs of wild horses and cows along the way. We will be visiting them again during next stay!

Wow! Our group did this ride as a birthday present for one of us. The horses were sweet and the guides were friendly and informative. Beautiful views and incredible grounds. We were treated to fresh fruits along the ride and more when we got back to the main building. Would do this over and over.

The staff was so friendly and helpful. Our family did the ATV tour. They take you all around their ranch which is beautiful, and they offer fresh fruit grown from their farm on the break before you get to see the amazing ocean view across the street. They took great pictures of our family and gave us good recommendations for lunch! Thank you for the great experience, we had an awesome time.
