Megan was a great guide. My horse is used to being a lead horse so we did that most of the ride. The scenery is beautiful. The horses were great. It was a great overall experience.
Summer was our guide, she was great! The ranch put safety first but we still had a great time seeing some movie sets and beautiful nature views.
We had so much fun! The view was amazing by the ocean and mountains. The horses were cute and nice. The experience was very beginner friendly.
We had a lot of fun on our tour. Getting to see such beautiful parts of the island on horseback was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide was very kind and patient with everyone’s varying comfort level with riding. I only wish they had talked more about the movies filmed on site, as that’s what we thought the tour was about. They did mention two scenes, but we didn’t really have a chance to stop and take photos or ask questions. It was also hard to hear as our guide was very soft spoken. Over all however it was such a beautiful trip that we would do it again!
The horses were so gentle and responsive. The views were breathtaking. Ashley, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and friendly. This was a highlight of our Oahu visit!
Great Experience. Summer was a great guide, incredible views and cool way to see the ranch. Make sure you wear shoes, does not say this on the online booking! Horses were great and safe! Would do it again!
Amazing! Riding Gotham was so fun, and our tour guide was great and friendly and made our first experience so smooth!
Beautiful scenery, well trained horses, and expert guides. No problem for first time riders! A great memory!
Our guides Leilani & Jaz, were so kind and AMAZING. This was probably my favorite activity ever and I’m so happy to bring my friends to experience being immersed in nature. 10/10 no notes!!
Outstanding and knowledgeable staff, especially our guide Swade. Great views on a relaxing horse ride.
Lost for words, this ranch is beautiful, we had the best time and it was a highlight of our vacation! We had Swaid as our guide and he was super friendly and helpful!
first off it s walking tour so if you want more this may not be the one for you. but the views are outrageous and the horse are very tame
Had an amazing time riding around the beautiful, scenic trails enjoying the views and learning about the history! Brooke was an amazing tour guide and Rooster was an amazing horse(: 10/10 would recommend!
Horses and guide were awesome! Horses were well trained and calm. Our guide, Swade was our guide and he was very nice and knowledgeable about the area and movies filmed there. The scenery was beautiful!

Hot but great view and very nice tour guide Ms Ashley
Staff helpful and friendly
Like the pictures we bought
Really enjoyable, great views. My horse was really awesome. Definitely coming back, don't be scare you are in great hands.
A great way to see the ranch. The guide was knowledgeable and fun and the horses knew the drill, making it easy for novice riders.
Wonderful horseback ride and Belinda was a great guide. Went back for another ride later in the week because it was so fun.
You may enjoy a wonderful unique view at the area. Definitely worth going. And please be there a little early.
Show up 1 hour before your booking. They should put that in all capitals because it was not made clear to me. Also book on the website not Viator. Viator customer service is awful.
Very unforgiving. Bad experience. No consideration. You are a sheep. They do not care about your experience.
I showed up at 8am when the reservation was scheduled for. My friend and I were denied joining the trip because out of the 6 emails we had gotten about the trip, I had missed in one single email at the very bottom that we had to show up 45 minutes early. It was pouring rain when we got there for the reservation time, and asked if we would be able to join a later reservation because there were openings with that party and there was a break in the rain. Staff was pretty blunt and rude and said no because they had already were 10 minutes into the welcome speech and it was our fault for being late and we had to contact viator to see if we could move the reservation and they had nothing to do with the reservations that are placed third party. We called viator and they told us that the ranch gives the ultimate OK to move reservations, and when inquired the ranch still said no. We paid $180 for this trip EACH and they were very unaccommodating
I booked a horseback riding excursion at Kualoa Ranch through the Viator app, and one of the main reasons I felt comfortable booking was because the listing specifically stated that this excursion requires good weather and that if it was canceled due to weather, guests would receive either a full refund or the option to rebook.
The day of our scheduled ride, there were severe weather warnings issued all day for high winds and flooding. Based on the safety concerns and the language in the listing, I reasonably believed the excursion would be canceled. Instead, when I reached out to Kualoa Ranch for a refund they stated the rides go on “rain or shine” and refused to issue any refund or rebooking option.
This is extremely frustrating and misleading because the listing does not disclose a rain-or-shine policy. It explicitly suggests that weather conditions are a factor in whether the excursion proceeds. Had the listing been accurate and transparent, I would not have booked under those conditions because I don’t want to be on a horse during a windy flood.
I also contacted Viator customer support expecting them to honor the policy listed on their own platform. Unfortunately, they also refused to provide a refund and were unable to explain why the listing states the excursion requires good weather if the vendor claims they operate regardless of conditions. Jerome from Viator then left the chat when I asked for an explanation.
This experience felt deceptive and left me paying for an excursion I reasonably believed would be canceled for safety reasons. I would strongly encourage future customers to clarify the vendor’s actual weather policy before booking, as the listing language does not appear to reflect how this excursion is truly operated.
Really great tour, horses were fantastic and Iris our guide was wonderful! All skill sets with riding were present and no one was left behind!
We took members of our family to horseback riding tour this week and had a great time! Haven and Rebecca were awesome - tons of fun and so helpful. They took pictures of us and generally just hung out. Would highly recommend!
Terrible customer service- employees are rude
There is no help, said they were sold out- manager Liana very unprofessional
Bring your cameras and enjoy the ride and the views! Saddlebags provided to hring your water and phones
Excellent for a first time rider. There were video and verbal instructions addressing safety protocols. The check-in process went smoothly and there is a waiting area in the barn where the horses are quartered. Horses are easily mounted from a platform. The scenery along the forested trail is nice.
Beautiful place to ride horses for 2 hours. Iris our guide was fantastic. She pointed out everything about the ranch and all the movies filmed there.
