Big Island Horseback Riding

Your Big Island Horseback Ride

Horseback riding on the Big Island has a ranch feel that fits the island's wide-open side. Instead of beach paths or resort lawns, the ride moves through pastureland, rolling country and places where Hawaii's paniolo traditions still feel close.

Na'alapa Stables rides take place at Kahua Ranch, one of Hawaii's oldest working ranches. The current horseback adventure is listed with 1.5- or 2.5-hour ride options, with mountain views, coastline scenery and guides leading the way across ranch land.

This is a good match for guests who want a slower outdoor ride with a real Big Island setting. Check rider age, height and weight rules, wear long pants and closed-toe shoes, and bring a light layer because ranch country can feel cooler and breezier than the coast.
