My daughter and her friend each took a 60 minute private lesson. It was the top highlight of our trip. Of course the setting is beautiful. But what really made it special were the instructors - Eileen and Lucy were warm, kind, and confident. They focused on foundational technique and really -explained- things to the girls. We can't wait to return! read more

Princeville Ranch - I guess maybe I went to a different Princeville Ranch . - Horseback Riding Near Me - Princeville, Hawaii

Great place to take the family for a fun filled day of ATV riding and zip lining. I came here with my family over Thanksgiving break and can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review! Wow! First off, the guys in charge of our group (2 of them) were so fun and helpful getting everyone situated. After you go over the rules and quick lesson, the ATV part was awesome. It took me (the driver) a while to get used to it, but by the end of the day I went full force into the mud puddles. Like the weather usually is on this island, it was clear but then some drizzle which made for a lot of wet puddles and beautiful rainbows. I will not forget this experience with my family, ever! The zip lining part was also fun but could be strenuous for some because I remember we had to hike 15 mins or so to the lines. The rocks and ground were very muddy and slippery so definitely wear shoes you don't mind getting dirty with some grip on them. Clothes and everything for that matter will get dirty on this excursion. Our group was maybe of 10 people or so but imagine doing the few zip lines and then having to wait one by one for each person to go and land. Little time consuming, but I understand it's for everyone safety. During this excursion lunch was provided by Princeville Ranch which was sandwiches and chips and a lot of good toppings. We ate near a small lake that you could jump into from a platform. The lake also had inflatable tubes you could use. On our day, it wasn't the warmest, but on hot summer days this sounds amazing! Recommended items to bring: Dress light, something that can get wet and dirty (I wore board shorts), have a change of clothes in the car and sandals for after. Little backpack with sweater, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, water bottle, so you can put your cell phone and camera in so it doesn't get dirty or wet! At the end of the excursion, make sure you tip your guides well as they live off these tips!! We also went back to the registration store and bought some merchandise. They have a lot of cool hats, t shirts, sweaters, etc. to buy. Overall, I would definitely recommend this company. We all felt safe and had a blast. read more

As I'm prepping for another Kauai adventure to come I'm lovingly reliving some of the great memories from our experience in 2019. We did the day adventure that included kayaking, hiking, swimming, and zip lining. We went in April 2019 and it was one of our first adventures of our trip and definitely one of the highlights! The land is privately owned so the only way to explore this beautiful region is through one of their tours offered. There were other options of adventures but our selection felt best suited to our experience goals. It did not disappoint! They offer lunch and footwear gear as needed before the tour starts. The kayaking was quick but fun that lead to the hiking and zip lining. Overall it was a fun day, very basic skills needed so someone with no experience could definitely take advantage of this fun day. It was a great way to explore and learn more about the fun opportunities on the island. Beautiful landscapes, delicious lunch, helpful staff, all the good things! read more

Our 2nd day on Kauai consisted of doing the 4X4 off-road adventure at Princeville Ranch. We had a party of 13 and had the absolute best time. Our guides were Troy & Julie and they were awesome. They were informative, patient and just great people to show us around the Princeville Ranch property. The package we had included the ATV tour, 2 ziplines, waterfall and swim then a picnic lunch. It was an unforgettable experience for us all. We had 7 adults and 6 kids in our party. You drive to the Princeville Ranch office location at Kapaka St & Kuhio Highway. You check in there, make your payments, designate your ATV drivers, etc. They have multiple ipads at the registration area so as a group, it shouldnt take you long to get all checked-in. Drivers get a wristband and are the only ones allowed to drive the ATVs throughout the tour. There are also restrooms by the gift shop... From there you drive about a mile or so south to Princeville Ranch located on the right side along Kuhio Highway. Once there, Troy and Julie taught us the rules of the road/ranch. You are given balaclavas, helmets and goggles to wear... They do a quick start and stop test before you're on your way to tour the ranch. The guides are in the lead and last vehicles so they pace the group which keeps everything safe. You navigate the various trails of the ranch at different elevations. You see animals such as horses and cows as well as many birds on the property. You go up a trail to see an amazing vantage point of the Hanalei Valley. It's simply amazing. Everything is so green and lush in this part of the island. There are several photo ops and you will notice the trailing guide is also taking pics of your group throughout the time your'e there. Midway through the tour you come up on their zip line course. It was my 1st time zip lining and it was comforting to be instructed by Troy and Julie on everything we needed to know, things we should do and things we should avoid. Zip lining was a lot of fun for us adults and the kids as well. You are given and fitted with your zip lining helmets and harnesses. From the zip line, you head down to the swimming pond and waterfall area where the guides provide a sandwich lunch for you. There is a covered area where the food is prepped and most of the people eat but there are benches, a hammock and a walk bridge nearby where you can pop a squat while eating... The pond has a deck you can jump from into the water. The kids loved that. There are inner tubes available to float around in. Then after lunch and waterfall time, you make the ride back to the entrance of Princevile Ranch going on some new trails along the way. It was such a good time. All of it... The ATV'ing, zip lining and the waterfalls where we had lunch. Its a beautiful property. Troy and Julie were great. We all had a blast. I definitely recommend Princeville Ranch for their ATV tour. You wont regret it... Prepare to get red dirt EVERYWHERE. Haha. We didnt get real muddy on our time there but if it rains a little while you're on the tour, I can see that happening... At the end, you are given an option to purchase a USB drive with all the pics they took of your group throughout the tour. $20.. Great deal IMO. We got it. Mahalos Princeville Ranch! Mahalos Troy and Julie! read more

Great spot for a visit; did a horse ride and waterfall tour. Group was small and intimate; no getting lost in the crowd, but plenty of space to spread out. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. The ranch itself was beautiful with gorgeous mountain views and lush greens. They're ending waterfall tours after June 30, 21 but will continue equestrienne lessons. Would highly recommend. Shout Outs to Karin, Emily & Drake for being so amazingly helpful & courteous. read more

Just got back from a great day at Princeville ranch! My wife and I got engaged at the waterfall on this tour back in 96, so we wanted to go back with our son who's turning 10 tomorrow. Reservations were easy, and I called to confirm since I forgot it was Thanksgiving when I made the res. Got a call right back that they were open and ready to go on Thursday! Easy to find, very professional org. Walked in, got our paperwork done in 2 min, then introduced to our horses after a few minute intro. I've only done this a couple times and my son's first time on horseback. Princeville made sure to get us horses that were used to amateurs, we had no trouble at all. Our guide, (Emily?), Was great. She was friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Couldn't have asked for a better guide. My son was enamoured! The waterfall is as beautiful as we remembered, bit the hike was a little tougher this time. I'm sure it's the trail, can't possibly be that I'm older and fatter now... This is a great tour, and so worth doing. Nice to support a local business here on Kauai, and we look forward to our next trip read more

Beautiful ranch. I suggest if you know how to ride you go somewhere else. This was an expensive boring ride in the middle if the ranch. Nothing but walking allowed. No interesting terrain or a ride to anywhere interesting, like a waterfall, or whatever. Just a walk in a circle in the middle with expansive views. It is a very pretty place read more

Princeville Ranch - . Expansive view to the mountains of Kauai. - Horseback Riding Near Me - Princeville, Hawaii

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! This activity truly lives up to its name--"adventures." During our stay, we wanted to try something a little different than the typical water oriented activity. Our concierge recommended 4x4 Jeeping and it was well worth the price (we are returning patrons--my first visit was horseback riding with this company) The appropriate gear was provided by the company and we piled into our open air jeeps. I couldn't ask for better weather...it was a little rainy and the grounds had puddles all around--I was excited to get all dirty!! Miguel and his partner were fantastic guides! We went uphill and downhill, around curves and splashing in the mud puddles. Yes, we got a little dirty. It was worth driving in the rainy weather, the loud engine noise, the exhaust fumes! In addition to the jeeping, our trip included the ziplining and a swim in the watering hole (lunch break). It was great fun--my only wish is that we got a little dirtier with more mud splashing! read more

Had an absolutely amazing experience here! My boyfriend and I had Lucy as our tour guide and she's absolutely amazing. Her accent was the icing on the cake but her experience, knowledge and overall personality made this an amazing experience. Lucy made sure everyone felt comfortable and continually was checking in to make sure you were feeling okay. I can't wait to come back to Kauai and ride again and hopefully see Lucy again. The group was 5 including our guide and it great because you didn't feel overwhelmed and it felt very intimate. The views were gorgeous and the horses were unbelievable. I always felt safe and had such a good time. Loved that I could buy some gear as well as tip. Can't wait to come back! THANK YOU LUCY read more

We wanted to do a memorable fun activity for our last day on the island of Kauai. After doing some research, we decided on a zip line adventure and found Princeville Ranch. We called in to book the reservation for the very following day and was pleasantly surprised to find it was cheaper to book via phone than the online reservation system (avoids fees). Our guides for the zip line tour were Mark and Jerome. They were very friendly and knowledgeable about everything relating to zip lining and about the history of the islands of Hawaii. The zip express tour is approximately 3.5 hours long, starting with the short van ride from the offices to the ranch itself. There are a total of 9 zip lines, with the last 3 being the longest and tallest. The final line "The Big Kahuna" is a 1/4 mile line that takes off from a tall tower. It's also unique because you can race another person across since there are 2 lines total. From the check in process to the final steps of the tour, the whole staff for Princeville Ranch were courteous and very helpful. They answered all questions and made sure your experience was great. They also offer other services such as horseback riding, waterfall tours and ATV tours so check them out if you are in Kauai! read more

Eileen and team were absolutely wonderful with our kids: she taught them more than Equis (sp?) but also responsibility and self-confidence. While it was only an hour, I'm certain my kids will remember it forever. Extremely grateful. read more

#1 best day of my life ! Thanks Liberty who was our leader. 2 days before Christmas I gave the gift of a waterfall/horseback ride to my guy this year for Christmas and I ended up getting the gift of facing my fear ! He had ridden a few more times than I, and I had not been on horse for over 30 years! I was the first to get on my horse and my FEAR kicked in. After everyone else was getting on their horses I was contemplating on how to get OFF! I told my guy and Liberty I just couldn't do it I was scared to death on that horse but they both said to me, "Do not let your fear's take over you!" They were right and so I did IT! We rode a while then we hiked down to a beautiful waterfall, once we made it there we swam a little then had a nice sack lunch, then we hiked across the waterfall and up and over a 10 foot rock wall with help from a harness. I DID IT!! read more

We had such a fun day in the Ranch yesterday! Mahalo to our guides Josh and Troy, they were so fun! Kiera at the front desk was very helpful and able to book us into a tour (4x4 off road adventure) the morning of since our boat trip was as cancelled last minute. Our adventure began later in the day, giving us time to go find white shirts to wear for a true hawaiian souvenir (from the red dirt). The UTV's were so fun and the views and ride were awesome! I've never zip-lined before, and I was definitely scared, but Josh made me laugh with a lot of jokes and Troy was very calming, so soon I was having a great time! I am so glad I did it. Everything was 5 star, my husband and I will be booking again and you should too! Awesome that you can buy photos that they take too. Thank you for the best day! If you're lucky you'll meet jungle cats too! read more

Our guides, Jason and Mark, made our first sip lining experience fun, informative and safe. These two guys were amazing. They immediately remembered every single person's name in the group and they made the adventure about zip lining and so much more. They told us a little Hawaiian history, insider places to go, and pointed out so many interesting facts about the beautiful nature that surrounded us every second of the tour. The zip lining was so fun! I am a little afraid of heights, but I wasn't afraid at all, even on the highest ones. Jason and mark always reminded us where to look while zipping so we wouldn't miss anything. I would come back here in a heartbeat, and they have other cool things to do such as horseback riding. This is an awesome operation! read more

Our guides Derek and Mark made the experience particularly notable. I've done many ziplines with camps before (I'm a teacher that brings her students), but after awhile, often times the employee's zeal and energy runs low when they have to keep repeating themselves over and over. However, their jokes, travel tips, historical insight about the flora and vegetation, and constant checks for safety made the 4.5 hours enjoyable and memorable. It was their personality that allowed our group to feel super comfortable with one another within minutes. Side shoutout: I'm a teacher and am supposed to be good at memorizing names but these guys got it down SUPER fast. They remembered our names in a heartbeat and were extremely personable. Even if you've ziplined before, it probably won't compare to what Princeille Ranch offers as their lines are longer, higher, and definitely much more scenic. Thank you again, Derek & Mark! read more

Super crew! We went for the horseback ride and zipline tour- great guides! I love zipping and Go every time I am in the HI islands so I was really excited about the zipline part of the tour but when it comes to HORSES- scary! We had fun and entertaining young women who taught us basic commands for our mounts and made sure we were fully comfortable and competent to ride these gentle beasts through the beautiful pastures of Princeville. What a happy loving energy to feel that Kauai breeze and the tropical sun as you and your horse amble gently down the paths to reach the three zipping platforms. Don't be afraid to Zipline!!! We had 5 female guests of various ages on our tour who were really nervous and I kept telling them they were safe and would love it. They smiled at me skeptically and I just kept encouraging them to relax in their harness and enjoy the view because the guides do all the work FOR you. You don't have to worry about stopping yourself because the guides use ropes with blocks to stop you when you approach the platforms. The guides are also happy to snap any pics you'd like and also give you a list of great places to enjoy a meal or a sunset! read more

We went on the Zip Express and had a great time on the 9 lines they offered. The first line is pretty easy, and progresses to the last line that is over 1000 feet. The whole experience was super fun and our guides Mark and Omar were great. The group we went with was pretty easy. No one freaked out and no one had to be pushed off the edge. The views are amazing, so be sure to relax and look around you as you're gliding across. As a side note. I would not consider myself as small, but apparently small enough to not make it all the way to the other landing without some help. For sure they will get you to the other side, but just make sure you listen to their instructions at the beginning and you'll be fine. I didn't make it all the way on 2 lines, but one was the longest line they had. They toss you a rope that you hold on to and they pull you in. Overall, it was a great experience and would totally recommend this adventure. read more

There's a reason Princeville Ranch has such great Yelp reviews ... and that's because they have it figured out! You want fun? You want professionalism? You want a safe place to play for all ages? Well, then Princeville Ranch is there for you! My friends and I zip lined on our last day in Kauai at Princeville Ranch. If it hadn't been our last day, we would have returned from more of their offerings. (Oh well, next time.) They have all kinds of adventures (that aren't too crazy ... hence the "good for all ages"). We lucked out and got a smaller group for our zip line excursion so we had plenty of time to talk and get to know each other. Our guides helped facilitate that fun which made the experience even better. Each zip line was really well maintained and super safe (I've done some crazy stuff in Thailand and Costa Rica ... and let me tell you ... Princeville is SAFE. Seriously, the folks in my group were mostly in their 70's and with the safeguards at Princeville, it was really easy to "take off" and "land". SMOOOOOTH). The guides also made sure we understood everything we needed to do for for a successful zip-zip. They also made sure we didn't step in cow pies. Thank you for that! The facilities where you check in are nice as well. Parking is a cinch. Oh, and the restroom was super clean ... Very important! The whole facility is nice and well run. So, stop reading and just go do some stuff. Its a good place! read more

My husband and I took the horseback ride to the waterfall and it was incredible!! Their land is absolutely astounding and the tour was worth every penny. I did notice that a previous report mentioned the horses kicking, and we did have one instance in our tour where the horse tried to kick another horse. It was a bit scary in the moment, but nothing happened. We did not have an issue controlling the horses however; all our horses were well behaved and followed commands. Mostly, they just follow each other. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Although we had one kicking event, we felt safe on the horses and wouldn't hesitate to talk our kids. read more

We did the ATV/Zipline/hiking tour. AMAZING! The tour guides Miguel and Derek were beyond professional yet extremely fun and light hearted at the same time. We started out driving ATVs all over the ranch with amazing views. Stopped and hiked well maintained trails with water and beautiful Views everywhere you look. Ending at a swimming hole where the guides set up a very nice picnic lunch for us. I really want to try the horseback riding when I come back. This was worth every penny and one of the top things of the trip. read more

We reserved the Zip and Dip for our group of 8, a 5-hour excursion of 9 ziplines plus a swinging bridge, light lunch and swimming in a private swimming hole. Amazingly enjoyable! Our guides were Andrew and Wyatt, who guided us through the tour. They were friendly and knowledgeable and made the tour fun! Looking forward to visiting again and trying other activities! Woo hoo! read more

AMAZING! We loved our ATV & Zipline adventure. Our guides, Tyler & Jack, were hilarious! Whether they were going over safety rules, showing us the best photo opportunities, talking about zip lining or making us lunch their comedy kept the group engaged and paying attention. It is obvious these two enjoy their jobs and Princeville Ranch is a fun place to work. I imagine there is never a dull moment with these two around. Driving the ATV & riding the Ziplines was fun too. read more

Horseback - waterfall AND 4x4 adventure with zip line We did both these tours and loved them! Horseback was just the right amount of time. The hike is slippery with mud and I recommend hiking boots over tennis shoes. The water was great and our guides had lots of good information. The horses were well behaved. Our party had riders with no experience and I have 30 years on horseback and we all had fun! We had Tommy and Shannon for guides and they were really great The 4x4 adventure was also great. They stopped for great photo ops and while we got great shots ourselves we did end up buying the photos they took of our trip because the quality was amazing. We did not purchase the photos from the horseback trip. Again the hike is slippery so I recommend boots over tennis shoes. We did get very muddy. Wear stuff you wouldn't be devastated if it was stained. I wore a lighter colored tank top and while most of the red mud came out there is a slight hue in a few areas. The dirt here is very red and used to dye things. Everyone who wore darker clothes had no issues when we washed. It was just my light sea blue tank that has some staining Take bug spray just in case and rain jacket as Kauai is rainy and you may get a drizzle or too read more

This place was AWESOME. Josh and Curtis ( or so I hope) where amazing . Let me start off by saying you get more than what you pay for. You arrive and fill out the waiver forms. Turn them in. If you payed online they say thank you and tell you your tour guide will meet you at the right. If you didn't then you pay and then go to your right. As soon as everyone gets there we leave. (Please dont be the one to hold the group back). They start off by giving you all the equipment then they give you a brief description of what's to follow. They get a volunteer and show and help you put on your gear. Finally you get on in a van and head over to where you will do your hike zip line. We did the zip and dip. So much fun. You start off by doing small ones and gradually it gets longer and faster. Right before the last one (KING KONG) You get to eat lunch and jump into the water. Awesome ( you have to jump in the water if you do the zip and dip.) Lunch was awesome and Josh and Curtis make it memorable. Finally the final event The KING KONG. Its long and fast and after a long break it feels scary to go up and then jump off. But you have to do it. Its GREAT All In all. We had fun. Great company, laughs and an overall good few hours. So worth the money. Wish I had more time to do more. If your here give them a try read more

Zip & Dip with no rain check so the dip was... With a slow start.... OK, I still had to turn off my brain and just go running off a platform into midair... this was not easy, but I am glad I did it. With each each line, the length of time in air became greater, BUT so did my control & confidence. With the right grip on the line and right type of tuck or position- I could control speed and how l was turned. I found myself enjoying even running off backwards. The views were amazing. Plus, I was able to trick my panoramic setting on my camera to take multiple pics in different positions of my family. I was also able to take video of them from great angles a couple times. There is a rope bridge that is interesting to cross. King Kong was the big 1200 foot zip line with a bonus of being a race between two people. I felt like I was walking the plank going up to it. Once it was over, I wanted to go again. The dip was not that interesting... It was raining that day. The lunch meat sandwiches was more than adequate with some sprouts even available, The hummus option was welcome by the people not eating meat. read more

We did the waterfall hike at the Princeville Ranch. Our group of 7 was made up of my husband and I (we are both 30), and then several older individuals ranging 40-late 60s I'd guess. Our hike day apparently fell after some substantial rain so the conditions were SUPER muddy, rocks were wet and slick, and the river was rushing (and in my opinion dangerous). Before leaving the ranch they offered us ziploc bags for our phones (free), and we had the option to purchase water shoes to wear for $5 (very reasonable), and nutrition bars, water bottles, bug spray, etc. We then were driven in a van to the ranch, where our group of 7 and our tour guide were dropped off. The hike started off easy as we walked up a few hills and through some meadows and then we were in the rainforest and in some serious mud. Our guide stopped along the way to point out numerous plants, nuts, and fruits, and she let us sample several of these straight from the tree, which was nice! When we got to the water portion of the hike, we attached our belts to a metal wire and descended down a 10 foot rock. This was QUITE a bit more difficult than I had imagined. The older individuals on our hike were concerned about this but shakily made it down. When we exited hours later via the same rock wall, but this time were going up instead of down, they had some serious difficulty. The rock was wet and slippery and in my opinion it was too dangerous for climbing. They honestly barely made it up. And while you are clipped to a metal wire, you would still fall quite a ways (and land on rock) if you slipped. What was even more dangerous was crossing the water right after the rock wall. The water was rushing! We were hooked to a metal wire and we precariously attempted to move from rock to rock as we crossed the water. This was super tricky, rocks were slippery, and the water was rushing. Not to mention immediately behind our backs was a 20 - 30 ft drop off which was a waterfall. Yes, we were hooked by the waist to the metal rope but the water was rushing by and I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if one of us missed a rock step. The guide mentioned the conditions were much different than usual given the amount of rain they had gotten. This would have been nice to know BEFORE this hike, so I could have opted out (which I definitely would have done had I known to expect these conditions). After the rock wall and waterfall crossing, we crossed water many more times and all were challenging. You were in water up to your knees and the water was so murky you had no idea what you were stepping on (I think this was caused by the weather). Also, we couldn't swim (which was an advertised portion of the tour) because the water was super muddy from all the rain. I think this hike could be fun (but still challenging) without the rushing water caused by the serious rain, but with the rushing water and slippery conditions this was far too dangerous for me. I see that children aged 5 and up can attend the hike, but I can't fathom how a child could do the slippery rock wall and deal with the rushing water. Our whole group is as exhausted by the time we made it back to the van (5.5 hours after the hike began). From wading through a lot of rushing water, to the tricky rock wall, to overall apparent danger... this was mentally and physically challenging. Also worth noting that we got COVERED in mud. Mud well above our shoes, on my shorts and all over my shirt (We trashed our shoes and shirts after the hike). My husband and I also got cuts on our lower legs from the overgrown paths and the underwater rocks we hit when wading through the rushing water. read more

Love this place!!! We did a 3 1/2 hour horseback ride to a waterfall picnic. It was amazing. It was my favorite part of my vacation. I even liked it better than the helicopter ride (even through they are completely different). Our guide was Heather and she was amazing. So much fun and super super nice. My horse was also great. I done horseback riding at many other places, but the horses here were much better here. They were cleaner, didn't smell at all, treated better, kinder and followed directing really well. The waterfall was really beautiful and we all went swimming in the really clean water. Heather took photos of us, it was great! A memorial you will cherish. My husband's favorite part was the hike to the waterfall. There was even a bit of rock climbing involved. It had a little bit of everything. I really loved it and would do it again!

My family and I did a zip n dip tour with Josh and Jenna. It was super fun and they did a good job of making sure we felt safe. Fave zip line-King Kong! I won the race! But overall the absolute best part was swimming in the secluded lagoon of cool, freshwater under a tiny waterfall. One of the best afternoons spent with my family, bar-none!! Josh had some interesting info on tour too, like movies that had been shot in the area, and other facts about Kaua'i. Really great experience and would recommend! It took me some time to hike from some spots to others, but just took breaks and pushed through. Well worth it! read more

Such a good time! Our tour guides Justin and Drake were fun and made sure the whole group had a blast! There were 3 groups totaling 9 people. We did the express and I'm wishing we had done the longer one because lunch is at a waterfall! Everyone started out super quiet but as we went along we all got comfortable with each other. The guides had us do an introduction and that was cool to get to know each other. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Some of the walks/hikes were a little steep but nothing any of us couldn't handle and we were various ages and sizes. Wear good traction shoes to help you keep from slipping in some of those uphill climbs. Views were absolutely amazing! read more

A well deserved 5 STARS. Geewhiz where do I even begin so my family and I did the three hour plus adventure and we had an amazing time our horses were blueberry, goose and Charlie. The place had a great introduction to start they had blocks to help you get up on the horses and it seem like all the horses were just calm and programmed for the daily routine. So no unexpected trots or moodiness. We rode our horses for about 45 minutes where we got off and then walked up/down the trailside. We came up to a giant waterfall I would say 80 feet high. The tour includes swimming at the base of the waterfall a completely invigorating/refreshing experience. Spent roughly about 20 minutes or so there probably the only limitation as I wish it was much longer but in reality you can't because of the time it takes to get there. Our tour girl Mentioned that there were a couple waterfalls on the private property so you may want to inquire which one you're visiting first. Upon leaving the waterfall we then walked up the hill where are we with safety ropes Walked across the top we than rock climbed a mini hill. In my opinion anybody with average condition can do all of the above. I suggest checking in with the tour guy first before booking. We then walked back to where we stationed our horses and then took the horses back to the main Ranch. In my opinion probably one of the best things to do in Princeville.

My Husband and I took part in the horseback ride to the hidden waterfall excursion, and it was amazing. I was a first time rider, he a second time rider and we got lucky in the group department. Were in a group of 5 total, 2 of which were experienced riders whom I felt help keep an eye on my husband and I. Our guide was Hi"ilani, and she was excellent. Before getting onto the horses she went over some basic commands and how to maneuver the horse. I was paired with my spirit animal, Scotty and my husband was with MaKai. I feel like we were paired with appropriate horses for our skill level. The ride to the hike and waterfall was around 45 minuets, and it was absolutely breathtaking. When we made it to the entrance area for the hike to the waterfall, Hi''ilani helped each of us from the horses and tied them up. In the description of the excursion, it said the hike was 15-20 minuets and steep...they weren't lying! Admittedly my husband and I are out of shape, so the hike down was really hard for us and it was super muddy from the rain the night before. Once we reached the waterfall we were allowed to swim, which was so amazing and really refreshing after the ride and hike. We were provided with a sandwich picnic, which Hi''ilani set up so nicely. We met the resident chickens Kevin and Deb, who were well behaved and didn't try to eat our lunch. After swimming and lunch it was time for the hike back. We hiked partly back up the stairs/path we came down, but this time we adventured on towards the river and rock wall. We were attached to a metal wire which crossed the river at the top of the waterfall. Being out of shape, crossing the rocks were a challenge. Next up was the 10 foot rock wall, which again was a challenge. Once atop of the waterfall the views were breathtaking. After a little further hike by the river we made it back to the horses. The ride back to the ranch was much easier and quicker. Overall, the experience was great and we would absolutely do it again! read more

Fat Phobic - they have a height/weight chart for who can ride at their stables. I have decades of riding experience and there is no safety reason for this chart other than to discriminate and cause shame. While I understand the need to ask weight to ensure you have a proper mount, the height/weight chart is completely ludicrous. Find another business to give your money to, because this place doesn't deserve it. read more

We did the Zip n Dip adventure last Saturday and what an amazing adventure. We had the best guides Aronn and Drew were so funny and professional they made what is to be scary so much fun. KingKong is definitely a beast ... climbing to the top was scary enough for me but racing through the 1000 ft of hanging zip line was just unbelievable!!! I will do this again and again and again!!! read more

Princeville Ranch - Zipping through the jungle - Horseback Riding Near Me - Princeville, Hawaii

Beautiful ranch that offers horseback riding, trails and zip lining. Staff are very knowledgeable of the business and area. They were all very friendly. My group decided to do the horseback riding which was combined with an awesome trail walk that ended at a waterfall. We were able to swim at the base of the falls. Part of the trail excursion included a rock climb. Ropes and cables were positioned throughout the trail for safety if needed. The horses were all well mannered and very easy to handle. Overall a great time. I highly recommend this excursion. read more

Our family did the zip line express tour with Kurt, Sherry and Nevin. The guides were awesome! They were definitely fun and engaging. The meet location is where the office/gift shop , gear and only restrooms are. Here you weigh in and are given instructions on how to wear your gear. If you don't have a backback, they will provide you with one. Otherwise you can wear your own. You're then shuttled to the ranch which is about 5-10 minutes away. There are 9 zip lines. I was definitely nervous and holding on for dear life during my first zip line. The guides will continuously instruct you on how to relax and get better with each zip line. Some of the zip lines have cameras and the guides will tell you ahead of time which way to look. The views are awesome, don't forget to look. There is a little break in between. Make sure you bring water, snacks and wear sunscreen. Great time to take a pic with your whole group. The last zip line is the king Kong, which was a favorite amongst the group. Here you can zip line adjacent to someone else. You can either hold hands or you can make it a competition. After being shuttled back, you can view your pictures. You can download them all for 19 dollars. Thanks again to our guides for making it an awesome and fun day! read more
