Your morning or afternoon horseback-riding tour starts in Pepeekeo, a small town just 15 minutes north of Hilo on the Big Island. When you arrive at the private ranch, your experienced guide will give you a safety orientation and outfit you with your riding equipment. Then, you’re ready to hit the trail!
Following your guide, enjoy an easy 1.5-hour ride along a trail that winds its way from the ranch through fields brimming with lush greenery. Keep an eye out for cattle and wild pigs roaming in the grass as your guide provides commentary about local history, culture, flora and fauna.
Arrive at Waikahalulu Waterfall, a gorgeous 80-foot (24-meter) double waterfall flanked by palm trees and rugged cliffs. Pause here to snap some photos and soak up the serene beauty. After your waterfall visit, your guide will lead you back to the private ranch to conclude your horseback-riding tour.
Upgrade to enjoy a BBQ lunch before or after your tour, depending on which departure time you choose. Savor a hearty meal of boneless beef ribs and chicken right off the grill, accompanied by beans, green salad, corn on the cob, a bread roll and a soft drink.
