Amazing experience, I was first timer on horse back and it was so easy and so much fun with adventure. I recommend it to every one and specially the first timers.

This activity was with one word: Amazing. I have never sat on a horse before, and I found the ride easy and pleasurable. The staff was very competent and helpful, as well as a whole lot of fun. The horses were friendly and easy to ride, even for a first-timer. The vistas were spectacular, and this is definately a ride I would recommend to anyone interested in a great natural experience.

My wife and I enjoyed the Waipio Ridge Horseback Ride. Roy and Les made the ride very enjoyable and were great hosts. Roy was especially knowledgeable on the plants and history of the valley. We would recommend this ride to anyone that wants to see the beauty of Hawaii up close and virtually undisturbed. Thanks for a great time.

Best activity we did the entire trip!

As a family of 5 who had never riden horses the thought of the 5 hour trip was a bit scary. The guides were great in preparing us and especially helping our 10 year old get over her fear at the start. We all had a great time.
The only down side was that we got a drizzily day and we didn't feel the need to swim under the waterfall. Rookies like us might want to consider the shorter ride. The last hour wore on us a bit. But we would do the 5 hour again.

This activity will take you to see amazing views of waterfalls and mountains however I thought that they overexaggerated a little bit on the details of this activity. It makes you think that you are going to get right up next to a waterfall and you dont. They take you to a cliff with an amazing view of waterfalls in the distance and the shoreline but you are no where near these waterfalls. The staff were very nice however and the ride was pleasent. I will definitlty go horseback riding in the future if I go back to hawaii, I would just sign up with a different activity so that I would be able to see different sights.

This was a great day. Travis and Al (the trail guides) could not have been more helpful, informative, or understanding. No one in our group had ever been on a horse before, but we were all ready to be cowboys by the end of the day. It was also nice to talk to real Hawaiians that were not 'on stage' like so many of the tourist places that we have been to. The only negative was that they started the tour one hour earlier than planned, but we did not have a schedule, so we could easily adapt. The trail went out to the edge of 900 foot cliffs where you could look down at taro farms and black sand beaches. Bring your 4wd, because you will want to drive down afterwards. Thanks to everyone involved.

The two Hawaiian guides that rode with our group were very good. The one in front of the group told us a lot of informative items about the flora and fauna of the area we were riding through. The one disappointment was the fact that I had to WALK my horse through almost the entire ride. I understand insurance liability, but those of us who do know how to ride and handle a horse should be given the opportunity to do so, even if it means signing a waiver of liability. It would have made the ride more fun and challenging to run the horses a bit.
