Beautiful place for a ride Gorgeous scenery for a horseback ride, great way to see that part of the island. There wasn’t as much movie stuff as I expended given the ranch’s reputation as Jurassic Valley but was a great activity on its own.Our guide Belinda was knowledgeable and friendly, very patient with the novice/nervous rider on our tour. One piece of advice: they have sturdy raincoats available for free at the stable. It was pouring rain when we arrived so we bought ponchos in the gift shop which turned out to be unnecessary totally for the ride.

Beasts of burden? Or massaged pets? Horse ride warning. Don’t book this tour if you aren’t certain to be 20+ lbs under the weight limit regardless of height or clothing. Mortification & embarrassment included. No refunds or exchanges. Not sure if their scale is celebrated regularly? Weight when leaving for the vacay was under the limit.

Terrible horseback riding experience Terrible terrible terrible customer service! Booked a horseback riding tour and went there at the time the tour agent told us to me at and they had left without us! We were a couple minutes early and the tour agent gave us the wrong time and they still did not do anything to help us. They also gave no refunds. So so disappointed and lost over $315. We purchased other tours with them and spent so much money and they were still so unaccommodating! The tour guides were so rude!! I had a terrible experience. I am so shocked by the service provided!

Incredible This was easily one of the best experiences i have ever had. Such a beautiful way to see this part of the island. Riding near the coast and thru the mountains and seeing the movie sets was so pic. Absolutely loved every minute. Get there early!

Awesome excursions and the best tour guides! This place is wonderful and a MUST SEE! We did a series of activities here including horseback riding with Rebecca (which was my personal favorite). We also did UTV riding with Matt and Crystal which was awesome and both myself and my husband got to drive! Lastly we did the zip lining tour which was on our bucket list for Hawaii and it did NOT disappoint (ugh I can’t remember our awesome tour guides names)! All of the tour guides here are amazing! They all were able to answer questions about Hawaii, the ranch itself, the culture and history. Would highly recommend any of the tours here!

Refund policy is worst I've ever seen. I scheduled this 6 months in advance and read no indication that this reservation was nonrefundable. All other excursion companies allowed us up to 48 hours before the excursion to cancel. It is now 5 months until the original excursion date and no refund. Ridiculous!

Absolutely beautiful ride with amazing guides and horses! A huge thank you to our guide Tianna. I am an experienced horse rider and have done many rides all over the world. While this is a walking only tour which can sometimes be tedious for experienced riders - Tianna still made this a fun experience. She has so much energy and passion for her role. She was calm and patient (more than I could’ve been!) with inexperienced riders. I was also incredibly impressed that she had gone to the effort to learn phrases in multiple languages that were helpful on the trail. Definitely the signs of someone who goes above and beyond for their role! She had excellent knowledge of all the horses and a great fondness and understanding of them all. She was also very knowledgeable about the land and area and gave us a lot of great information along the way. The horses are absolutely lovely I had a lovely guy named Sriracha who never put a foot wrong and my partner had Kalanakila (I’m so sorry for butchering that spelling dude!) who was a big guy with even bigger personality - we loved him! The scenery is absolutely stunning and it’s a lovely slow pace for lots of photos. Because the ride does cater to those without riding experience - you don’t get the opportunity to stop at any of the film locations to hop off or even grab mounted photos. This was a pretty clear expectation from the start so I wasn’t disappointed but it’s certainly a potential opportunity for the business. It wouldn’t be feasible with inexperienced riders but perhaps someday there will be different levels of trail rides available!
