The tour was incredible! Seeing the trail from horseback while navigating downhills and uphills was such a unique experience. We also rode by the ocean and as you hear the waves crashing you continue on your trail. The horses are all really friendly and already know the trail by heart you just gotta know when to pull back for them to stop. This experience is beginner friendly and definetly for those who want a bigger thrill than the utv ride.

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 tour guide Swade was very professional, informative and knowledgeable about the history of the area. And made our experience pleasant and memorable. Thank you so much. Beautiful 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.

Fun fact: Kaʻaʻawa Valley has been a backdrop in blockbuster movies like Jurassic Park, giving you the chance to ride through a real-life Hollywood filming location.
