Kauai Horseback Rides

Kauai by Horseback is a wonderful choice for those who want to see the island in a totally different way.

A truly unique outdoor vacation activity! You get it all with this picture-perfect horseback riding experience. Cross ranch pastures with breathtaking panoramic views of mountains and ocean. You might find yourself riding through our herds of cows, calves and horses along the way. After you tie-up your horse, your adventure continues with a short 10- to 15-minute hike down a steep trail with steps and handholds, through a tropical forest with views of a lush valley and sounds of cascading falls. You will be awed by the power of our fern-lined 80-foot waterfall and the peacefulness of the setting. Take a refreshing dip in the waterfall pool, where you can explore the views on ledges behind the falls or simply float to your heart‘s content. Savor the flavors of our freshly made and delicious picnic lunch. Afterward, if conditions permit, return to your horse via a different hiking trail, complete with a crossing atop the falls, a short rock climb and yet another scenic waterfall setting perfect for one more photograph.

The four points of the compass bring four distinct views. Ride out on our "makai" or ocean-side lands, to see the dramatic bluffs. With the majestic Hanalei mountains behind you, cross open green pastures to reach several overlooks of the vast blue Pacific and Anini Reef, the largest reef in Hawaii. Look to the East and see the historic Kilauea Lighthouse and bird sanctuary. Look to the West to Makana, made famous as Bali Hai in the movie South Pacific. This 1 1/2 hour riding adventure gives you some of the best scenery Kaua'i has to offer, at a relaxed and enjoyable pace.

A leisurely trail ride amidst the isolated interior of Kalihiwai and Kamookoa Ridge. Discover this lush valley base as you ride beside peaceful waterways lined with tropical botanicals. Enjoy breathtaking up-close views of the islands northern Makaleha mountain range. Photo opportunity! Island fruit juice served upon return.

The ultimate reward for saddle weary guests! Almost two hours into the saddle, participants will refresh, relax and swim at a natural mountain pool (no hiking necessary). A lovely waterfall sparkling silver in the sunlight provides the ultimate tropical backdrop to enjoy a tasty “Local bento-style” picnic. Baked Teriyaki Chicken (or Teri-Ginger Baked Tofu, by request), Steamed Rice, Chilled Pineapple-Coleslaw, Macadamia Nut Shortbread and assorted island fruit juice offer a healthy and hearty taste of Hawaii.
