I opted for a one-and-a-half-hour experience, which was enjoyable and included a gallop. They provided thorough explanations about horseback riding and handling the horses in a way that was easy for children to understand. All the horses were well-trained and followed a set route, so my husband, who was experiencing this for the first time, seemed to have no worries. My 8-year-old daughter also had a great time and said she would like to do it again if we come back to Hawaii. We rode through the grasslands and made our way towards the sea, enjoying the refreshing breeze. I gave a small tip in cash to the guide who took such good care of us that day. Other participants also tipped, but the other Japanese family did not.
1時間半の体験にしましたが、十分に楽しめる内容だし、ギャロップもさせてくれました。子どもでもわかりやすいように丁寧に乗馬や馬の扱いについて、説明してくれます。どの馬もよく調教されて、決まったルートを回るので、初めて体験する夫でも不安はなかったようです。8歳の娘も楽しかったと喜んで、またハワイに来たら体験したいそうです。草原の中を通り、海の方まで回るので、風もあり気持ち良かったです。一生懸命に世話してくれたガイドさんには心ばかりのチップを当日現金で払いました。他の参加者も払ってたが、他の日本人の家族は払ってなかった。

We participated as a family of four with our 9-year-old and 11-year-old elementary school children! It was everyone's first time riding horses, so we were quite nervous, but we were able to enjoy a relaxing horseback ride on well-behaved horses without any major troubles.
The instructions were mainly in English, so the kids participated with almost no understanding, asking, "What are they saying?" But it was manageable. There was a Japanese explanation at the reception that outlined the basic rules, so those who are not confident in English might feel a bit more at ease after reading it. Additionally, if the horses don’t listen, the staff members accompanying us quickly help to correct the situation, which is reassuring.
They also take photos of each group along the way (don’t forget to bring your own camera or smartphone!). The 1.5-hour ride was quite fulfilling. The beautiful scenery of the vast grounds made it a great memory. I recommend this activity as a way to experience the great nature of the Big Island of Hawaii.
9歳、11歳の小学生と夫婦の4人で参加しました!
全員乗馬は初めて!なのでかなりドキドキでしたが、特にトラブルもなく、お利口な馬に乗ってゆったりと乗馬を楽しむことができました。
説明は基本英語なので子供達は「何て言ってるの?」とほぼ理解なしで参加してますが、何とかなります。受付のところに日本語の説明文があり、基本的なルールが書いてあるので、英語苦手な人は一読しておくとちょっと安心かなと。ただ、馬が言うことを聞かなくてもサポートで同行してくれるお姉さんたちがすぐ軌道修正してくれるので安心です。途中グループごとに写真も撮ってくれます(自分のカメラかスマホを持っていくのを忘れずに!)
1.5時間でかなり乗りごたえがありました。広大な敷地の景色の良さもあっていい思い出になりました、ハワイ島の大自然を感じられるアクティビティとしてオススメです。

It was drizzling at first, but later it cleared up and the scenery was amazing. Since it was an English guide, I couldn't really understand what was being said, but the horses were smart, so I managed to get by by watching them. Thank you very much.
最初霧雨だったけど、後から晴れて景色も最高でした。英語ガイドなので、ほぼ何を言っているのかわからないけど、馬が賢いので見よう見まねで何とかなりました。ありがとうございました。

We came for an adventure and left with an experience we’ll remember forever. Not only was the UTV experience so fun but we learned so many ancient Hawaiian stories, history, and culture from our tour guides who were all Hawaiian natives. The type of stuff you can’t google or find in books, but real life knowledge passed down from their ancestors that we were lucky enough to hear about. The UTVing was awesome and we saw the 7 valleys, beautiful views, and stopped at a small private waterfall, and collected some wild guava along the way which was delicious, but if you want a real Hawaiian experience it’s the people who work for the UTV tour that make the 2+ hours something you’ll remember forever. Truly amazing

Sunset from the summit! This is a $ splurge, at least for us, but between the quirky Hawaiian history and mythology lesson plus solid science and general kind authenticity of our guide Addison; the "you'll never see a sunset quite like this one" moment; a humbling and breathtaking view looking out at the galaxy; and the luxury of being a passenger rather than a driver, with convenient pick-up and drop-off...totally worth it. Thanks for the highlight!

Francis was a really fun guide and took care of us really well, making sure we were all doing okay with the high elevation. Sunset was gorgeous, seeing the moon through an 80x telescope was really cool, watching the stars come out was great. If you have a choice, go during a new moon, we had about 70% moon and it created a lot of light pollution in the sky. The other guide (Tom?) was really good at pointing out all the main constellations, even naming some of them in various different languages since we had a mixed ethnic group. Very knowledgeable. Phenomenal, phenomenal tour.

This was such an amazing experience that I hardly know where to begin.
I can't say enough about Jen, who was our guide. From the moment we met her at 7:30 am (she was early to pick up near our residence) until she dropped us back home ~12 hours later, she made the trip such a positive experience. She was very personable and easy for my husband and I to chat with us as we made the ~1.5 hr drive to pick up the rest of the passengers in Hilo.
She was constantly pointing out areas of interest and sharing background information and context so that we could fully appreciate the sights of the Volcano park.
The 3 mile hike was great, and it was so interesting to spend time on the caldera floor, although I will admit that the trek back up truly tested my stamina!
All in all, an amazing day!

Bring clothing you don't mind getting dirty. Really, really dirty. And wet. You get the opportunity to hike down to a gorgeous, waterfall-fed pool for some swimming.
The guides were friendly and fun and we had a blast. The property is stunning and there are showers available for after the ride; bring a change of dry, clean clothes!

Wow! Not only did we get to see the scenery as advertised, but it was also way more beautiful in real life than in the pictures. And not having been on an ATV before, it was very fun and exciting. We were taken on a pretty high-speed adventure right up the slopes of Mauna Kea. Seems like we gained about 1500 feet though it was hard to tell for sure. In addition to the views, we say a few tame cows and a heard of wild pigs! Our shuttle driver and tour guides, Isaiah, Jericho, Sam and Henry were really helpful, and Jericho was especially entertaining! They were all full of knowledge of the ancient Hawaiians that first landed on the Big Island, and had great stories about their heritage, and also Jericho had a great since of humor. He had us laughing the whole time! We would definitely take a trip with them again some time!

The atv was basically a track on a large piece of property- nice view but guess we had expected a ride to woods to a waterfall. The waterfall view is best from the gift shop but it was fun to swim in their river. Didn’t feel like we were really out in nature.
My husband wanted to go faster on the atv- but it was fine for me as a newbie and more cautious person. The guides were very nice. It was overall ok- but very pricey for the experience we thought.

About 60 km from the hotel in Waikoloa, after passing Honokaa and driving for a while, we arrived at the ranch, which took about an hour. We hopped into a two-person buggy and started our adventure. First, we drove through the mountain course, encountering ducks, cows, and horses for an hour. After returning to the office, we took a break and enjoyed freshly picked pineapple to recharge, then spent the second hour on the coastal course. We could switch drivers at any time, which added to the thrill. On the way back, we were satisfied after eating the famous Malasada at Tex Drive In.
ワイコロアのホテルから約60km、ホノカア過ぎてしばらく行くと牧場に到着、約1時間のドライブでした。2人のりバギーに乗り込みスタート。まずは山岳コースでアヒル、牛、馬と出会い、1時間ドライブ。事務所に戻り休憩、取り立てパイナップルを食べて鋭気を養い、後半は海岸コースを1時間。ドライバーの交代は随時可能でスリル満点でした。帰りはテックス・ドライブインで名物のマラザダを食べて満足しました。

We have family in Hilo so visit Big Island annually. Over the years, we have seen most of the "tourist" sites so we now spend most of our time going on hikes and hanging out with the family. This trip, our main event was the Hawaii ATV Ride Tour and we four had a blast. We all rode in the same vehicle and two of us took turns driving. It was a lot more exciting than it looks on the website, the paths are rutted and bumpy and great fun. The guides were also great fun and provided, for us, just the right amount of local history and character.

I participated alone, but I was able to enjoy the experience of encouraging Boe (the horse's name) to graze and giving a little kick to speed up, all while feeling a sense of tension until the end. I was very happy to have this dream-like first experience of riding a horse through the great outdoors in my mid-60s.
1人での参加でしたが、草を喰むBoe(馬の名前)を促すことや腹を蹴っての少しの早足も緊張感と共に最後まで楽しく体験できました。60代半ばで大自然の中を馬に乗って闊歩するという憧れのような初体験ができたことがとても嬉しかったです。
