Horseback Riding is one of Hawaii's most beautiful and adventurous activities.

Horseback riding companies and ranches can be found on all the major islands of Hawaii but they vary greatly in terms of types of locations, ages and weights of persons they can provide for, duration of times, necessary riding abilities and of course price.

Maui trail rides will take you:
Through a tropical rain forest and down to windswept cliffs of the Pacific Ocean Into the crater of Haleakala (like riding on the surface of the moon) Up into the Hana highlands near the famous Oheo Gulch. Onto the ranch lands high above the central valley, with views galore From the beach at Makena to the winery at Ulupalakua
Riding stables and working ranches are located from Kapalua in West Maui to Makena in South Maui and from Waihee Valley to Hana.
Horseback riding on the Big Island is mostly found in the upcountry areas near Waimea which is the fabled home of Hawaii's largest ranch, the King Ranch.
The most exciting tours on Kauai are found in the beautiful jungle areas in the Hanalei or Pricnceville reigon. Waterfall horse rides and rides down to the sea can be found here.
Oahu's riding can be found on the Waimanalo, Kualoa and Haleiwa areas.
All horseback riding ranches will want to know your level of experience so you can be matched up with a horse that will be appropriate. If you're a beginner, don't worry, there are tours for you as well and if you're a veteran equestrian there are rides that are a bit more challenging.
All in all, it can safely be said, that your ride here in Hawaii will be one of the most beautiful and fun you have ever taken.
