Our guides Leilani & Jaz, were so kind and AMAZING. This was probably my favorite activity ever and I’m so happy to bring my friends to experience being immersed in nature. 10/10 no notes!!
I went horseback riding for the first time ever at Kualoa Ranch and it was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had on Oahu! The ranch property is absolutely beautiful with incredible views everywhere you look. The trail ride was peaceful, scenic, and such a fun way to experience the island. A huge shoutout to our instructor Amy — she did an amazing job guiding us along the trail and made the entire experience feel comfortable and enjoyable. She was so friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable which made the ride even better. My horse’s name was Asgard and he was such a friendly and well-behaved horse! As a first-time rider, I was a little nervous at first, but Asgard made the experience easy and fun. Overall, everything about Kualoa Ranch was amazing and I would definitely come back to try more of the activities they offer. I would 100% recommend this to anyone visiting Oahu — it’s truly a must-do experience!
Outstanding and knowledgeable staff, especially our guide Swade. Great views on a relaxing horse ride.
Amazing time! The horseback tour at Kualoa Ranch is beautiful. We journeyed through lush areas and along cliffsides that overlooked the ocean. All the views were spectacular. The horses are well tended and do not appear overworked or stressed. They are gentle and patient with inexperienced riders. Our guide Leah was helpful and adjusted pace and guidance to skill (or lack thereof). My husband and I both loved this tour and would recommend it for anyone who wants something a little out of the ordinary or for people who love horses but aren't around them on a regular basis. The fee was reasonable for the length of the tour and service provided. The tour is small and uncrowded so that the guide can ensure assistance if needed. Highly recommend!
Lost for words, this ranch is beautiful, we had the best time and it was a highlight of our vacation! We had Swaid as our guide and he was super friendly and helpful!
Did not get us on any horses and wouldnt reschedule terrible service, people were rude too for something that is not our fault

I had an amazing time. The views were incredible and the whole ride felt very peaceful. Our guide, Swade, was amazing. He made sure everyone was comfortable, was constantly checking on us and even took photos for us. The horses were calm and well cared for, everything felt very safe. Definitely a highlight of my trip. I highly recommend it!
Had an amazing time riding around the beautiful, scenic trails enjoying the views and learning about the history! Brooke was an amazing tour guide and Rooster was an amazing horse(: 10/10 would recommend!
