Private 5 hr ride!!

Posted on: 2018/04/27

We ended up being only people for the 5hr ride and our guide Alli was sweet and recognized our riding abilities immediately so gave us personality info on our 2 mounts and her horse and was then able to just give your info and stories without fretting over us as riders. The horses were in great condition for the mountainous terrain and went the dogged followers we kinda expected, few areas allowed us to trot briefly but so rocky, hard to do much else, yet in forest we were able to weave around on different paths! Horses drank at mountain streams along the way and we had a delicious farm to table lunch packed in for us and set up at the private waterfall. Alli allowed us almost a hour at the waterfall to eat, could have swam but too cold for us so we just got to be alone to enjoy such a gorgeous place! Then Alli came back and took pictures of us with the waterfall, then we remounted horses which had rested and headed back on different trails. Started raining and Alli offered us ponchos but we refused as have found we dont melt in Hawaiian rains so far as it has rained daily since we arrived! GREAT horseback tour, would highly recommend!
