Kohala Na'alapa Stables Highway 250 Mm 12, Waimea, HI 96743

"An awesome find! Great landscape, friendly staff, and horses with unique personalities. Recommend this for riders of all abilities: the horses know the trail well and can go on autopilot if you're inexperienced, but will also listen to more experienced riders. Do the 2.5 tour if you can!"

"We had such an amazing time here. The horses were all so well trained and fun… and… happy!!! They definitely were living their best life! Staff were hands down the kindest and most knowledgeable ranchers. Thank you for the one of a lifetime experience."

"Best experience with horseback riding on the Big Island I’ve ever had. Wranglers were extremely knowledgeable of the history and terrain, and they did an amazing job ensuring that everyone at every riding level had a good experience! They matched up riders to horses perfectly; the riders briefing was very well done, and the care and attention to their horses comfort and well-being was superb. Tack was all well fitted; horses feet were in good shape and the horses are well cared for. I will absolutely be doing this tour with this company again next year when I come back. Thank you so much!"

"AWESOME! The scenery was beautiful, the guides were incredibly informative and wonderful to chat with! I try to go horseback riding every time I travel and this was the first time I’ve gone on a group trail and not had to ride nose to tail. They let you trot and canter a bit which is always more fun than just walking for an hour and a half.The scenery was lush, green and absolutely stunning. 10/10 recommend!"

"Great experience overall. The guides were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and excellent with both horses and people. We got to trot and canter (for short periods, up a gentle hill) which was actually a lot of fun. I had only ridden a handful of times before, and not in decades, but I felt very comfortable. The views are stunning and the ranch area was totally different from the other parts of the big island that I had seen. Would totally recommend. I would advise wearing gloves, or using a pair of theirs (as my daughter, the experienced horse rider did). I ended up burning the back of my hands even though I applied a bunch of sunscreen. They also help with holding the reins."
