The guides were incredibly informative and so down to earth! We felt so welcomed and ended up with a private tour!! The whole experience was amazing, but my absolute favorite part was going to the ocean!! The view is spectacular and we even saw a pod of dolphins swim by !! 10/10 and I highly recommend it!

Really cool experience riding UTV’s around the Polulu Valley with some well trained and knowledgeable guides. Would highly recommend this tour for those interesting in getting a little dirty while also learning a lot about the history of the big island. My favorite part was riding up to the upper ridge of the valley to the waterfall where you get to have a few snacks and enjoy some stories from the guides. Very hill terrain, be prepared for a rugged but fun trail!

This Zip-line Tour was off the hook! David and Josh, along with the other staff, were awesome and very good at what they do! They’re safety instructions were very friendly and clear that made it a really simple and fast process. They’re funny humor kept my wife and I engaged and laughing the whole time which helped break the ice and had everyone conversing. The Zip-Lines are short at the beginning but that’s ok because it was our first time doing this type of activity and helped ease into the longer ones. The grand finale is awesome and are still super stoked about doing it! You won’t be disappointed. Oh! And you have to try the different types of bananas while tracking through the different Zip-Lines and don’t forget to enjoy the views! Once again, thank you Josh and David for a great time and all the info provided! Until next time!

Our trip with Kohala ATV Tour was awesome! Beautiful scenic stops and one of the guides was a great photographer. We learned so much about the history of the big island and the valleys along this coast it was not only fun and scenic but also cool to learn about the history. Not only were the guides amazing and knowledgable on the history and plants but the driver that transported us from the parking lot to the UTV's, Jerry or Jerico, was so funny and outgoing. He definitely got us super excited and eager for this tour after driving an hour and a half from Kona to Kohala at 7AM. He explained a lot about the town of Kohala and all of the things we passed on our way to the trail base. The crew works great together and made sure my boyfriend and I had a great time. We got to swim under a waterfall that is only accessible with this tour and we tried so may of the fruits we passed in the wild throughout the entire tour. Will definitely rebook with this company and will recommend to all friends and family.

The guide is friendly and informative. He can speak fluent English and Japanese. He provided the needed equipment for the trip and took nice photos for us. We’ve had unique and amazing lifetime experience by standing on the top of the world (count elevation from the seabed) and watching the stunning sunset and moonrise. Unfortunately, the full moon was so bright and we couldn’t clearly see the Milky Way. Overall a must have one and I will recommend do it with a guide as first time as some unexpected situations could happen if you are not fully prepared.
Warning: some people might feel faint and uncomfortable or fall asleep due to elevation

This tour was jammed packed with fantastic activities and good information. Todd was our guide, and he was filled with lots of good information on the area and language. He is definitely the one you want around for star gazing as he has a formal education in astronomy. One word of caution--bring warm clothes and jacket! You are going to a higher elevation with trade winds, and it gets cold!! (even on the van)

Great staff, gentle horses, and a fun adventure. We had our 9 year old granddaughter who had never ridden but they went out of their way to make sure she was comfortable and with a horse that she could ride safely.
I have lots of riding experience and was able to enjoy the ride as well; they shared much information about the plants and animals and Hawaiian history. Btw, the swim at the half way point was very refreshing.

On this trip, I wanted to challenge myself with proper horseback riding, so I signed up for this tour, and I was first surprised by the location! It was at an elevation of 2000 meters, as described, in the Kohala Coast. I took a taxi round trip, and I wondered if it would be okay in such thin air, but there was no need for concern. The friendly Hawaiian cowgirls provided kind explanations, and I easily got on the horse, proceeding in a line towards the highland sea. Unfortunately, the weather was not great, and we encountered rain several times during the two hours, but I was able to look down at the coastline of the Kona region and met many cows on the highland. It was an experience that will become a lifelong treasure.
今回の旅で、ちゃんとした乗馬に挑戦したくてこちらのツアーを申し込みましたが、まず場所にビックリ!
説明通りの2000m標高の場所コハラコースト。
タクシーで往復したのですが、こんなに空気の薄い場所で大丈夫かなと思いましたが、そんな心配はご無用。気さくなハワイカウガール達の親切な説明で難なく馬に乗せていただき、1列になって高原の海原へと進んで行きました。
生憎天候は不純で、2時間の間に何度か雨に合いましたが、眼下に広がるコナ地域の海岸線を見下ろしたり、高原には沢山の牛と出会いました。
一生の宝物になる体験ができました。

We participated as two families (two elementary school students, two middle school students, and four adults). The ranch provides helmets, which can be borrowed for free at each person's discretion (it's better to wear a helmet due to the possibility of falling off!).
At the beginning, the ranch staff gave a brief explanation of how to handle the horses and important points to note (everything was in English, so I needed to lightly interpret for the kids).
After that, the staff selected horses based on the participants' body types, and we quickly started riding. It might be hard to believe in Japan, but even beginners were able to ride the horses, and instead of just leading them around, we all went outside the ranch! The horses were quite accustomed to the trail, so we formed a line following the horse in front of us, but depending on the horse's nature, some wanted to move quickly while others were a bit reluctant to go forward.
At one point, there was a challenge to try a gallop, which made me a bit nervous for the third grader, wondering if they would be thrown off.
This bold tour is unique to America, and riding while overlooking the beautiful ocean was amazing; I believe it will become a lifelong memory! ✨
親族2家族(小学生2名、中学生2名、大人4名)で参加しました。
牧場にはヘルメットが用意されており、それぞれの判断で無料でお借りすることができます。(落馬の可能性があるのでヘルメットは被った方がいいです!)
初めに牧場の方が馬の動かし方や注意事項をざーっと説明してくださいました。(全て英語なので、子供たちには軽く通訳してあげる必要があります。)
その後牧場の方が参加者の体型などから馬を選んでくださり、早速乗馬。日本ではあり得ないと思いますが初心者でも同じように馬に乗り、引馬でもなく、全員牧場の外へ!馬がかなり慣れているので前の馬に続く形で隊列を組んで進みますが馬の性質によっては早く進みたがったりなかなか、進まなかったり。。ということももちろんありました。
途中駆け足に挑戦しよう!と、駆け足チャレンジもあったので小3の子など、振り落とされないか少しドキドキしました。
アメリカならではの大胆なツアーですがとにかく美しい海を見下ろしながらの乗馬はすばらしく、一生の思い出になると思います✨

What an evening!
The whole experience from booking to drop off at was seamless. The guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic to share his knowledge. He also gave an idea of the Big Island’s topography.
The main attraction is worth the money and the time you will spend. We went in a clear day and the sunset was spectacular. The guide gave a fantastic guided tour of the telescopes, the sky, the stars and the constellations.
He patiently took pictures of all the tourists and I’m immediately airdropped them.
In all a must do trip. Big shout out to the guide.
