Great experience, definitely recommended!…read more EDIT: I forgot to add that they rescue a lot of their horses. They make sure they are rider ready for sure, but this fact alone was worth a lot to me. The fact the experience was awesome regardless was icing on the cake. We booked a jungle ride for 2 at the last minute (a couple of days before) after another local place cancelled our online booking on us. I am so glad that happened, because we had a great time. The owner and her assistant guide were able to accommodate us on a Sunday for a private ride for the two of us. We were perfectly matched based on my more experience with riding, and my husband's very beginner ability. They each talked to us about the surrounding farms we were riding through, and the different plants, trees, animals, etc. around us, and their origins. They were very knowledgeable about all of this, as well as riding. We were even able to pick some fruit from one of the farm's trees (with permission from the farmer of course!) Our guide took a bunch of photos of us as we went (wasn't obtrusive though), and texted them to me right after our ride, ready for facebook upload :-) I always try to unsuccessfully take photos while riding so this was a treat. At the end, the owner's daughter had brought some juice out for us, My husband really doesn't like horseback riding, but he said he loved our ride here and it was one of the highlights of the trip. The owner told me they just bought some additional land that they are hoping to develop into a destination they can ride to and then do luaus with food, entertainment, and drinks, which I thought was such a cool idea! She was hoping to have this done in around a year, so I would definitely be back to check it out.

I had Bailey as my horse & she was my first ever horse to ride, she made it very easy going. My siblings and I really loved this experience and Jaime was a perfect guide.

It so worth the time & price, considering that we got to go down to a secluded river that falls from Mauna Kea (it was cold but refreshing) in the middle of the tour.

I really wanted to go horseback riding in Hawaii. It was one of the items I had to cross off my…read morelist. After doing a lot of research I found Wailea Horseback Adventures and decided to give it a go. It sounded great with the horseback to the waterfall. The place wasn't terribly difficult to find. Apple Maps took us right there. They had nice bathrooms if you needed to change or anything. They are co-located with the zip lining activities if you want to do both while you're there. What sounded great to me was riding to the waterfalls. The horse riding seemed incredibly minimal. Very short right to the falls. Then some treacherous stairs down to the falls. You get 45 minutes to swim, sit, do whatever at the waterfall. Then you ride a very short ride back. They nonstop and take photos for everyone which I thought was a nice touch. I felt like too much time was wasted on talking about how to ride horses and use neck reigns than actual riding. Then obviously the waterfall time. I would've liked to do more riding and see more.

She explained clearly what we were about to see and pointed out interesting things along the trail; beautiful views, local wildlife and even a little bit of history about the area.

Keep in mind there is no snorkeling on this excursion and the area around the Hilton is not safe or appropriate for snorkeling. I am writing the review solely on the lava field excursion part. My wife was very dissapointed that there was no snorkeling as we purchased new snorkeling equipment. Roxy was our tour guide and was probably the most knowledgeable and professional tour guide we have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Roxy was knowledgeable in the history of volcanoes on Hilo and elsewhere, horticulture, bird species, animals, Hawaiian culture, tourist attractions, history of the Hawaiian Islands, tribes and Capt. Cook, beaches, teachings, burial practices and so much more. Roxy told stories of the early days in Hawaii and how it evolved. Also as a noted her driving and safety practices were impeccable. If you are planning to come to Hilo you must make it a point to reach out to Roxy. We spent approximately 8 hours on the tour and it was so enriching although the lack of snorkeling was a dissapointment . Highly recommended Mahalo

I rode Sterling both days, and what a sweetheart -- peppy but safe! I am still really impressed by the level of care that clearly goes into these horses (one of the staff ladies was literally combing manes and tails while the horses waited between rides). The wrangler staff is small and it's obvious they know the herd, which makes me feel good about asking my horse to work. Ayla, Azia, and Liz were all wonderful. Liz especially managed a wrangler ride of 3 with different riding levels with aplomb. I'd definitely book the wrangler ride for myself again the next time I'm back!
