The horseback riding at the ranch was one of the most memorable moments. I will never forget with the amazing views that made every penny worth it beautiful horses, and the staff were amazing trail guide was Amy, who was very knowledgeable about the land who made the trail ride great as she gave us a lot of knowledge about the land that we were riding on. The horses are very well taken care of all the grounds were beautiful. It would be a true memory in Hawaii forever.

Our guide, Jake, was very informative and knowledgable about the Hwaiian culture and the history of the valley. The horses were so well trained and docile. I was born and raised on Oahu but this part of Oahu I never saw...so much eye opening scenery. I will definitely recommend this tour and i will be back.

This was by far the best thing we did on O'ahu. Our guide, Iris, was super knowledgeable and made the experience 10/10. She always made sure the whole group was safe and having fun. It was an incredible experience!

This two-hour horseback walking tour offers a unique way to experience the beauty of Kualoa’s landscapes while connecting with the traditions of Hawaiian cowboys.

Guided at a relaxed pace, you’ll follow forest paths and dirt trails that reveal wide pastures and the valley's untouched beauty.

The ride takes you through Kaʻaʻawa Valley, famously known as “Jurassic Valley,” with dramatic mountain backdrops and iconic scenery featured in films and shows.
