Had a relaxing and fun day with the Kahua Ranch horseback group! Went with my husband and two teenage sons. My youngest son has high functioning Autism and was given a gentle sweet horse. The ranch is beautiful and has many types of terrain to ride across. The ranch is a working ranch with cattle and cows with calves. There are also sheep spread around the property. The guides are knowledgeable and fun and support the guests with instruction and help throughout the ride. This is a gentle relaxing ride for all skill levels. I would recommend this excursion for folks wanting a calm relaxing ride threw the pastures of Big Island! (The cows get all the best views on Big Island!)

We were a group of three guys with almost no riding experience. They did a great job of making sure we knew what we were doing and the horses were good.
Riding horses was fun but my favorite thing about that activity was the stop at the waterfalls. Very safe lake to swim in and they even let you use canoes which was a great addition.

Mylie and Jamie made sure we were comfortable on our horses, given our varying degrees of riding experience. Each horse was perfectly matched to us! I even shared a name with my horse! As we rode through the beautiful rain forest area, Mylie and Jamie shared information about the flora and history of the area. Both grew up in the area and are so knowledgable.
At the waterfall, there were toilets and a changing room. Jamie got out kayaks and paddleboards for those who wanted them, but the pool was also fabulous for swimming. I swam and sat behind the waterfall, listening to the water cascade over me! Brilliant. So much fun!
On the ride back we stopped for a photo op. and learned more about the area.
Though this is a new tour and outfit, they are connected with a well-established outfit and have the expertise you look for in a horseback excursion! Fabulous afternoon!

Love waterfalls? Love rain forests? Love riding horses (or have always wanted to try)? Want to learn more about the plants and animals and history of the area? Then this tour is the one for you!
We were hoping to go on the horseback ride through the Waipi'o Valley; however, it was booked. We think it was our lucky day. We have no doubt the Waipi'o Valley ride would have been wonderful, but on our tour--we got to swim in a waterfall! The two tour leaders, Jamie and Mylie, made sure we were each comfortable on our horse given our varying riding abilities. We rode for about 45 minutes as the guides told us about the plants we were seeing and a bit about the history of the area. It was wonderful dialogue. When we arrived at the waterfalls, there was a restroom and changing room. Jamie and Mylie got out kayaks and paddle boards for those who wanted it, but I just wanted to swim--it was wonderful. The two falls were strong, but I swam up along the side and behind it to sit behind it, watching the water pour down! We then had a photo op. on our horses with the falls in the background. We had a wonderful ride back--Jamie and Mylie were a wealth of information, kindness, and support! Fabulous day--my daughter's favorite of our 2 week vacation!

My cousin and I did the horseback ride to the waterfall adventure on 6/18/19 and had so much fun. I was really nervous to ride a horse because I have not done so since I was a child, however, the guide (I believe his name was Jamie), made me feel really comfortable and answered all of my questions. This was by far the best horseback riding experience I have had. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local plants and Hawaiian history. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone!

Had an amazing time on this trail ride/waterfall swim!
The ride was lovely, perfect weather for both us and the horses, and the waterfall was beautiful! Very peaceful area, refreshing water, perfect way to cool off mid-ride! Our guide was wonderful! Not only did she get us to the waterfall before other groups, she taught us a bit about Hawaii and the nature on the trail, and best of all she clearly loves the horses and takes great care of them.
Great company, friendly and caring staff, wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

I decided on this tour/adventure package because it’s something that really interests me. From the coffee, to the excellent bbq picnic, the solar view of the sun setting, and of course the stars! Todd was our guide and he was so professional and was beyond knowledgeable in each area of the tour. He made everyone feel comfortable and was very engaging. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone wishing to do something that feels laid back, but covers a lot of ground.

This was purchased as a birthday gift for my sister. She has always been fascinated by volcanoes and it's been her lifelong dream to come to the island and see the volcano for herself. She was incredibly excited to have this tour. However, the day before it was scheduled, she received a call and was told that there had been a mistake when recording her reservation and they no longer had room for her on her scheduled date. They offered to move her reservation to a different day or to schedule her for the same day as her initial reservation for instead for the Epic Circle Island Volcano Journey. She chose to keep her originally scheduled day and do the Epic Circle Island Volcano Journey.
The woman who called was very apologetic and kind, let's face it, humans make mistakes sometimes, we've all done it. They did their very best to make it right. In the end, my sister said her experience was incredible and she was glad there had been a little bit of a mix up, because she thought the tour she went on was better (granted, that is based purely on the description of the originally scheduled tour).
Her guide was knowledgeable and told all kinds of stories about Pele and the island and recounted the history of the volcano. The lava tube they visited was unique and interesting and fascinated her.
Overall, it was a huge win and even in spite of the little problem I would definitely book again!

小さい子供、祖父母と一緒でも楽しめそうなアクティビティということで申し込みました。年季の入った4WD車、2頭の馬がひくワゴンで安全にワイピオ渓谷を楽しめたと思います。自分たちはあまり英語ができなかったので正直英語ガイドのおじいちゃんの説明は半分も理解できてなかったと思いますが、4WD車が急な坂道を乗り越えたりワゴンが川を渡ったり、綺麗な景色を眺めたりとよい体験でした。時間も合計2時間くらいなので、他の観光も組み合わせて1日のプランを立てたら良いと思います。

現地集合にした理由は他のオプションで立ち寄ったところとかぶってしまうのでこれにしました。うちでお借りしたナビがワイピオに入ってから狭い林道に左折と言うのです!どう見ても草ぼうぼうで道?と言う感じ。一度別のオプションで行ったことがあるので、無視して町の中を通って渓谷へ行きました。(帰りも怪しい林道へ右折と指示)あとは渓谷近くなってから標識に従い右折していくとアートワークスへ行けました。皆さんはナビに惑わされないように進んでください。受付は9時からですので前についても係りの人がおらず、お店の方だけでした。ここヘ行く途中道路工事で渋滞していますが、午前よりは午後が10から15分かかるときがあります(ひどいのは夕方ですが)。工事は2年と言っていました。あまり大したことがないのであせらないでくだいね。
馬もいろいろな性格があって面白かったです。英語がはやくて聞き取れないこともありましたが、なんとかなりました。説明は自然、とりわけ樹木とかですが大した説明でないので、日本語ガイドさんだったらもっと楽しいのかな。とネイティブ並みの娘が呟いておりました。途中小川を横断したり野生の馬に出会ったり、のんびりした感じの乗馬です。心配はいりません。ただ馬にまたがるので、股関節が弱い方は長い時間なのであとでお辛くなるかな。それから、お借りしたヘルメットがファブリーズしてー!と言いたくなるほど。(泣)自然満喫アクティビティなんだから仕方ないですね。(笑)荷物は本当に最小限に。また運動靴は新しいのは避けたほうがいいですね。帰りにお勧めランチをしながら帰りました。時間を有効に使えて楽しかったです。

全て英語でのツアーですが、周りの人たちを見ながらやればどうにかなりました。
想像していたよりも高くてビビりぎみでしたが始まってしまえば楽しくて楽しくて!
行程とは違う点
最初にジップラインでした。着替えるところ・時間がないので水着や濡れても良い格好で参加すると良いです。
休む間も無く移動してランチ。
トレッキング&洞窟探検。腰まで水に浸かってしまう、その案内がベルトラさんに記載がなかったので、奥まで行けず断念。
そのまま滝つぼに向かいます。
水は冷たくて、でも、外国のかたはガンガン泳いでました。
この行程ではどこにも着替えの場所や時間がないので、行きたい方はホテルからそれなりの
準備をして行った方がいいと思いますよ。

Guide was informative and friendly. On time performance and tour went well beyond what I thought was included in the days activities. Great to look at the stars through the telescope and have explanation of the skies (for a novice like me). Ride up and back to the summit of Mauna Kea was bumpy at times and a little daunting but not nearly as difficult as some made it out to be. Elevation did not bother me.

Had a great time both the guides were wonderful. The only issues I had were that you don’t really get close to the waterfalls they are way off in the distance and while the guides were very knowledgeable about the area you couldn’t really hear what they were saying unless you were in the front or back of the line. Other then that we enjoyed everything else

当初、1日プランに申し込んでいましたが、最小催行数に満たなかったため、半日プランに変更して参加しました。
英語が苦手なので英語ガイドに不安はありましたが、実際には問題なし。
ガイドさんもドライバーさんもフレンドリーで、乗り方の説明は身振り手振りを含めてくれましたし、火山の説明もなんとなくわかりました。義務教育程度の英語スキルでも充分楽しめました。
全体的に下り坂が多いコースなので、そこまでツラいこともなく、自転車もギアを使えば上り坂でも大丈夫。上り坂で、みんなできゃあきゃあ言いながらペダルを踏めるくらいでした。
風、太陽、木々が作る日陰を感じる爽快感は、自転車ならでは!ハワイ島の自然を体で感じることができ、ハワイ島が大好きになりました。
日本も火山の多い国ですが、至る所で蒸気を出している光景を見るのは新鮮で、大地が生きているということを身近に感じられる体験でした。
火山活動により、行く時々で様子が変わりそうなので、ハワイ島に行ったら、ぜひまた参加したいです。

乗馬はほぼ初めてでした。
ワイピオ渓谷の下までは集合場所からガイドさん運転の車で下り、乗馬のレクチャーを受け、ガイドさんがそれぞれに合った馬を選んでくれます。そこからは1人で乗馬です。
最初は不安でしたが、馬はよく訓練されているので、馬同士のちょっとした小競り合いはあるものの、特段暴れたりすることもありません。
歩く速度で景色と乗馬を楽しむアクティビティなので、馬を走らせたい方には物足りないと思います。
ガイドさんは「あぶない」「一列」などの単語は日本語で言ってくれますが、景色や植物の説明などは英語なので、そういった説明を日本語で受けたい方は別の会社を探した方がいいと思います。
貴重な風景が見られたので、次にハワイ島へ行く時もまた参加したいアクティビティです。
