Riding the trails - The trail was amazing, our tour guy Mika was very informative on all the surroundings we passed by. He knew and pointed out all the fruit trees I never heard of, like a strawberries guava and other fruits he let us taste them. The sites where so beautiful. Highly recommend this tour.

Funnest. Friendliest. Amazingest. Experience in Hawaii - BEST. TOUR. EVER. I have to say that I would do this tour every day for the rest of my life if I could because that's how satisfying it was from start to finish. The tour size was perfect, 8ppl. The tour guides, Mika and Kaleo, were so kind, knowledgeable and professional. They truly made it a wonderful experience. They talked about everything around us, but not too much, and asked questions about us too. The horses were chill and the guides gave instruction before the ride. The scenery is unbelievable and literally fun For an entire family (there was a family of 6 on the tour with me and my sister). Please take this tour if you are wanting to take a horseback ride on the big island. The tour is worth whatever the time it takes to get there might be and the price is a bargain for what you get!

The horses are gentle.... - The horses are gentle. The saddles are comfortable. The ranch is so beautiful. We saw wild pigs, turkeys, horses, chickens. Our guide knew all the local plants and animals well and we learned so much. This is as much a nature adventure as a horse trip. Best thing we’ve done this trip!

Perfect day, views and horses. - Had a wonderful horseback ride with the family with Micah. It was a beautiful day and the horses were gentle and very well trained. We got to taste some of the various fruits grown on the property which is extensive. Fabulous views of the ocean and a perfect ride. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
