Ronsin was an amazing tour guide! We had a great time enjoying the land and beauty the nature has to offer! He gave us extra information about the land and great places to enjoy our visit on the Big Island! We had so much fun and loved tasting the local fruits he found for us along the way! We really felt like we were hanging out with an old friend! We highly recommend this tour and him as the guide!

The tour guides were extremely friendly and gave a great tour! They went above and beyond to ensure my Fiance caught his first fish! Could not recommend more!

It was a lot of fun and the papaya was delicious. Be prepared that you will be covered in sand. Ware sunglasses and something to cover your face and ears would be a good idea. Otherwise you will be blowing out dirt for at least an hour.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Lots of delicious fruit and sites on the beautiful Hawaiian property!
lauren_b, Jun 2026
I would do this over and over again. Our tour guide Ronnie was absolutely amazing such good people he made it all the better!!!! The property is breath taking and seeing how it’s ran and getting to try the fruit on property.. amazing and an experience in its self. Crossing over to the ocean side of the property was just as beautiful the cliffs and ocean really tie what this island is all about and what it has to offer. Will be returning thank you!!!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Yes please come back again. Bring some friends or relatives. I’m sure they’ll enjoy it just as much as you do
Herve_J, Jun 2026
We had a wonderful time! It was a unique experience and more than just an atv ride with beautiful ocean views. We also had close encounters with several different animals, which I loved!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Great seeing all the animals on a beautiful tour!
Angel_M, Jun 2026
Super cool atv tour - both mountain and beach front and lots of animals in between. Awesome, knowledgeable tour guides and surprisingly fun stops with fishing, feeding animals and a super jungle type trails! Highly recommend it!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Great you had a cool time.. feeding the animals is cool also. It’s great that you got the fish for some tilapia.
Julie_V, Apr 2026
Really great morning - the views were outstanding & the trip through the property was amazing. We saw cattle, wild horses, birds & spectacular scenery!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Fabulous, the cattle and horses make this Hawaiian ranch special.
Bob_C, Apr 2026
FIshing in the fish ponds was a fun way to start this adventure. Traveling around the ranch on the two seater ATVs was loads of fun. We stopped a few times so Ronson, our lead guide, could pick some fresh fruit off the trees. As a Native Hawaiian, Ronson added great information about the ahupua'a land management system. He also shared stories about how local Hawaiians helped each other during the recent devastating kona lows. The animals - geese, cows, dogs and horses - on the ride were great to see, too. The stop back at the meeting house was a great way to enjoy some fresh local fruit - papaya, guava, pineapple and others were great. We even got to take the leftovers home. The trip to the shoreline was a great opportunity to see where the locals fish. Ronson shared some great recipe ideas. Red, our second guide, was also very informative and gave a great balance to Ronson as Red has only been on island for 5 months. Overall, an amazing experience. I'd HIGHLY recommend this visit to the ranch.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
It’s great you got to take some of that fresh fruit home, too—there’s nothing quite like ranch-grown pineapple and papaya. We hope to welcome you back to the Big Island for another ride soon!
David_C, Apr 2026
Just wow! Ronson and Red were absolutely incredible tour guides! From their extensive knowledge base and friendly and welcoming attitude to their knowledge of the land and stories they shared, the experience was absolutely amazing! We got to try fruits, see gorgeous lookout points and even fish on a tilapia farm. We all loved the experience and would absolutely do it again!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Our guides make the tour fun and informative. Fish and fruits nothing better!
Kenneth_G, Apr 2026
It was awesome with great young local guides that were very knowledgeable. Great pictures opts and we saw lots of wildlife
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Happy to hear you had a great time with great pictures. It’s a beautiful property and there’s plenty of animals to see. Please come back
Mariah_S, Jan 2026
Wow.
Just wow.
My husband and I were in Kona for our honeymoon and spent the day on the other side of the island.
Our tour guide- Shaunnery (I may have spelt that wrong!) was AMAZING. The day we booked was a group tour, however, we were the only ones to book that time, so it was an unexpected private tour!
He was great at making sure all of our questions were answered, photo ops were taken, and that we were having the best experience possible.
My favorite takeaway was that we never felt rushed. We spent the last leg of the tour down by the Ocean cliff - talking real life stuff, how remarkable the history of this area is to the island, and of course taking in the views! He really made sure we enjoyed every second of our experience.
10000000/10 would come back and do again! (Maybe horseback next time!)
Response from Host, Feb 2026
A private tour by our great guides. Nothing better to experience the big island in all its beauty.
Brian_A, Jan 2026
Great experience! We had some rain but that didn’t stop us from having fun. Ronson was our guide and we ended up having a ‘private’ tour since no one else was booked with us. Told us about the ranch, history, and had a great time! Gave us a great recommendation for food at Waimea at Kuya’s and it was excellent.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Ronson is a great guide. He’s so knowledgeable of the land in history of the big island. It is a great place to have a fabulous time.
Dakotah_D, Dec 2025
Even better than we anticipated! You take a couple stops throughout the tour to fish with bamboo poles, look at scenic outlooks, feed geese, and get to enjoy the views of the large ranch! 10/10 experience
Response from Host, Jan 2026
It is a great place to fish and have fun. The views are spectacular. You get to sample our fruits grown there.
Maryann_C, Dec 2025
Great for families and for breathtaking scenic views. The incorporation of a fish pond stop, goose/duck stop, and plenty of cows, horses, and donkeys to see along the ride added excitement for all of us, but especially our son. The adults loved the scenic views and historic information shared.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Yes, it is a breathtaking scenery. Sounds like you saw all sorts of animals. We have much much more. And hope you enjoyed fishing out of our ponds.
Jose_P, Dec 2025
This ATV was awesome because they will give you a sneak peak of their lifestyle on the ranch side of the island. You will get the chance to catch a fish and for some people that’s a great way to catch your first fish.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Yes, if you’ve never caught a fish before this is a place. We have nine ponds. Lots of duck and foul. And plenty of other animals on this huge ranch.
Tye_B, Dec 2025
Very informative tour with knowledgeable guides who are familiar with the area, culture, and ranch. This is not an adrenaline-pumping experience (as I thought/hoped it would be), but still a good experience nonetheless. The tour guides offer free produce sampling in the middle of the tour which acts as an intermission before heading over to the cliff edge to wrap up the experience with incredible views and photos ops.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
It is a wonderful experience. You get to see so much incredible views. And the photo ops. This is an experience of culture and beauty. Not a daredevil ride. But a mule train ride with side-by-side AATV’s.
Zane_P, Dec 2025
Guide was good, had good info and stories!!! Just 2 of us so he had a lot more time to tell us about the ranch and the islands.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Great to be on a tour where there’s only the two of you. You get personalized experience of the culture and history of the land. Not to mention a beautiful views. And all the animals.
Jarrod_B, Dec 2025
ATV, views, fruits, animals, history, and great company - the whole package of a great experience. Our guides were chill and insightful. Please bring cash if you'd like to tip.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thanks for reminding people that it’s proper to tip our guides. Cash is King, as there is no other way to tip.

They were very accommodating as we had to switch from morning to afternoon. We had a wonderful time with Shawn. He was warm, informative and shared some great stories about Hawaiian history, the farm and his experiences. He was a lot of fun and very entertaining. We caught some fish, saw lots of farm animals, tried some yummy fruit, enjoyed spectacular views. We would highly recommend the tour and Shawn!

Ronson is a great guide! So glad you enjoyed what everyone wants while visiting the Big Island. Please come back soon!
Maria_C, Oct 2025
Exceptional views and learned so much about the way farming is done. Great tour. Might recommend a face mask as the ride is dusty. Ronson was an awesome guide!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Ronson is a great guy. He gets you information on the history and how things are on a farm. Glad you enjoyed the views. Please come back soon.
Paul_S, Oct 2025
All of the staff was born and raised in the north island area, so you get lots of local culture/history and foodie advice. The views are really great. They are not in a hurry. And ask about the food truck down the street near Waipi’o lookout. It is a must do either before or after your tour. Make the effort to walk down the short hill to the lookout and eat your food at the sheltered picnic tables. And stop by Tex’s for the warm maladadas.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks for the wonderful review. You get to see so much beauty on our ride. Please come back soon.
LeeAnn_P, Sep 2025
This was such a great tour. Our guide, Ronson, made this the best experience ever!! Thank you Ronson!!! The four of us had a ball driving the ATV'S. We saw different animals, including wild horses with brand new babies!! We had some awesome fruit and rode down to the coast with a breathtaking view. I would highly recommend!!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Ronson is wonderful, a great guide. Let you experience the animals and the happenings on the ranch. And shows you all the great views.
Tasha_R, Jul 2025
This was definitely the highlight of our vacation. The tour guides were nice and we learned so much about the land. We even tried some fruits I have never heard of. There were phenomenal views of the ocean. I Definitely recommend this to anyone who visits the big island.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Happy to hear that this experience was the highlight of your vacation. We do have multitudes of fruits. Fantastic views!
Melissa_C, Jul 2025
Great tour of a local farm/ranch. The tour guides were friendly and fun. They clearly took pride in the ranch and enjoyed sharing it with folks. The fresh fruit was delicious!! I would recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Fresh fruit and fun! Our guides make it a learning experience. Please come back soon!
David_B, Jul 2025
Very enjoyable tour! Guide was extremely pleasant and answered all of our questions..he took pride in what he was doing
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thanks for the kind review. Hopefully you enjoy the beauty of our mountain to Ocean or Mauka-Makai property.
Jennie_W, Jun 2025
Our tour guides, Logan and Kalea, were amazing! They gave us some great history lessons about the farm, cattle and Honokaa. The views were breathtaking. The cattle were everywhere on our route.
Some of the hills are a little steep so I would recommend a more experienced and confident driver. We only go about 8-12 miles per hour but it's a rugged terrain.
Logan and Kalea made this experience enjoyable and fun. Highly recommend this tour if you are visiting.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
I’ll pass this along to Logan and Kaleo that you recommended them. They are great and you get to learn so much from them and have fun at the same time.
Matthew_K, Jun 2025
This was such a fun experience, driving up a mountain and then to the bottom to get some great pictures of the ocean. Tour guides were awesome!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Love your pictures on the ocean. Posting them would be great. I’ll also tell the guides you had a great time. Thanks and come again.
Jason_G, Jun 2025
Wonderful sights !! The guides are great with tons of knowledge. Be prepared to be dusty but worth it
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thanks for touring with us. Our guides are great and you get to learn so much and have fun at the same time. Please come back.
poolidge, Jun 2025
This was a great excursion! The guides were extremely friendly and informative. You travel from the ocean to the top of the mountain on this ranch. We got to catch fish and sample so many of the fruits grown there. It was just our family and one other and the vibe was perfect!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Like that the “vibe was perfect!
Nice day fishing and sampling the fruits grown here!
