About this experience
ALTERNAtE RIDE WHILE ROAD TO VALLEY IS CLOSED: Thank you for booking with us, we appreciate you so much during this time. Waipi’o valley is closed…for now. Here is the scoop: We’ve taken the horses out of Waipi’o to WOH Ranch. Same tour times, same price, same check in location, a little longer in the saddle at 2 to 2 1/2 hours, but now instead of shuttling our guests down into the valley we check you in at the ranch, walk you to the corral, get you in the saddle and head up mountain side.
This tour is beautiful!
A 500 acre mountain to ocean working cattle ranch including ocean views. We ride through a large coconut orchard, banana groves, and fishponds. We go alongside the historic Hamakua ditch and up into pasture blooming with purple flowers, tunnels of guava and iron woods. There are baby sheep, horses, and calfs right now during spring!

Horseback Riding in Hawaii--Waipio on Horseback on Big Island of Hawaii
Waipi'o on Horseback offers special guided excursions on horseback in secluded Waipi'o Valley. Our small groups savor the charm of this adventure in old Hawaii.
This trek takes a leisurely pace. Our guides narrate throughout the ride, explaining the history, legends and facts of life in the valley.
The path meanders through lush jungle trails along the hillside; through streams and rivers; and on to ancient Hawaiian villages. Riders see dramatic 1200-foot waterfalls, taro patches, lotus ponds, wild horses, exotic flowers, plants, native trees and birds.
Spend time on one of Waipi'o's oldest taro farms. Learn and experience one of Hawaii's oldest forms of farming that produces taro, a Hawaiian staple that helps feed our local community.
Riders travel via four-wheel drive van into Waipi'o Valley-ancient Hawaii's "Valley of the Kings." The trail ride begins on the valley floor and meanders around the valley. A minimum of two and a maximum of fourteen riders are allowed on each excursion. . Refunds are given on cancellations received in our office 24 hours or more in advance of the reserved ride time.
Because of our remote location, reservations are required at least 24 hours in advance. Weather plays a vital role in this tour's operation. In case of hard rain or flood conditions, this tour is subject to cancellation. As much advance warning will be given as soon as possible, but it should be understood that the weather can change rapidly.
This is a unique and active tour. We recommend guests be agile and in good health. We suggest pants and covered shoes. All children under 14 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
