Rancho Kualoa - Tour a pie a caballo

These horses are so incredibly abused. Showing up the first tour and seeing horses that were already drenched in sweat, sores around their mouths and their stomach from tack, and the lack of regard from the staff was beyond me. Please don’t support these people and the abuse they carry out with these beautiful animals.

Walking tour in a small group to the beginning of the valley where Jurassic Park was filmed. Duration approx. 2 hours

UNLESS YOU SUPPORT ANIMAL ABUSE AND NEGLECT, do not support this exploitative, money grabbing tourist trap. Some friends and I went thinking this would be a fun and unique experience seeing the sights. I felt horrible. The horses are on a constant "churn" just being used and abused to make money for the owners. I've worked with animals all my life and know when a beautiful mammal is showing signs of despair. They are unhappy, overworked and purely used as a profit machine. PLEASE DON'T SUPPORT THIS. There are so many other ways to see this beautiful countryside.

Our guide, Ashley, was extremely knowledgeable, very funny, and so helpful!! We had so much fun riding through the mountains and valleys of Oahu. From seaside cliffs to Jurassic valley. Sooo amazing!! The horses were so friendly and responsive. I can’t wait to come back and do it again. Well worth the money. I wish we could’ve ridden the horses all week.

We had a lot of fun on our tour. Getting to see such beautiful parts of the island on horseback was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide was very kind and patient with everyone’s varying comfort level with riding. I only wish they had talked more about the movies filmed on site, as that’s what we thought the tour was about. They did mention two scenes, but we didn’t really have a chance to stop and take photos or ask questions. It was also hard to hear as our guide was very soft spoken. Over all however it was such a beautiful trip that we would do it again!

Had a wonderful and unforgettable horseback riding experience with Belinda as our guide. She was so kind, gave everyone attention and I honestly feel like we made a new friend in Hawaii that day! I loved my sweet horse and the horses all seemed happy and well-loved. They water and snack between sessions and they ate almost on autopilot:) Scenery was stunning and so enjoyable by horseback.

The horses were so gentle and responsive. The views were breathtaking. Ashley, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and friendly. This was a highlight of our Oahu visit!

The view is absolutely breathtaking but the horses seem overworked, tired, and unhappy. The tours were lengthy and in extreme heat. If the horses had back to back tours, that would be extremely inhumane. Many older horses also seemed in rotation.

Amazing we had a great time, and an excellent guide called Belinda. Very professional horse 🐎 woman. Horses were great. Also water available for them on our ride, and photos 📸 taken by our guide. Also we were weighed before given our horse 🐎 to ride, I thought was good so the horse was not put under pressure carrying to much weight for its size. I rode a beautiful gelding named Paniolo meaning Hawaiian cowboy 🤠. Very well trained horse 🐎 great temperament.

Great Experience. Summer was a great guide, incredible views and cool way to see the ranch. Make sure you wear shoes, does not say this on the online booking! Horses were great and safe! Would do it again!
