Overview

Ride a guided tour of Waipio On Horseback Ranch, experience a traditional Ahupua’a (Mauka Makai). Horseback through a large coconut orchard, banana groves, and fishponds. We go alongside the historic Hamakua ditch and up into pasture blooming with purple flowers, guava and iron woods. There are baby sheep, horses, and calf. See native animals-wild boar, Hawaiian Ducks, donkeys, etc. Exotic fruits Kuini, such as Abiu, Salak, Mardrono, pitomba, Talisia, and Durio. Perhaps even sample those grown on the property. See the spectacular views, and landscapes, from fertile gardens to sweeping grasslands, and tree canopies. Learn Hawaiian culture and customs. Our guides are knowledgeable on the history of this Hawaiian Ahupa'a, a large socioeconomic, geologic, and climatic subdivision of land. Extending from the mountains to the sea with multiple water sheds. Each Ahupa'a provides wood for shelter and food like fish or taro. Unforgettable Ocean and Mountain Views

What To Expect

Honokaa

Guided horse tour of a traditional Hawaiian Ahupa'a. The tour begins at WOH Ranch, a working livestock ranch and farm operation sharing exclusive views of enchanting Hamakua. This scenic opportunity allows travel through a traditional land division (Ahupua’a) that stretches from the mountain to the ocean and is home to native flora and fauna. Surrounding gardens radiate fertility as you drive alongside fishponds full of Hamakua sunfish on your tour. Dwarf coconuts, breadfruit trees, kukui nut, sugar cane, taro, sweet potato and multiple varieties of heirloom bananas are just some of the plants you will see before riding alongside the historic Hamakua ditch. Our WOH Ranch Tour is ocean-bound; taste salt on the wind and hear waves pound against the sheer cliffs while we cruise under a canopy of ironwood trees near remnants of old Hawaiian settlements. At the ocean, we kick back and relax for a short break to appreciate the stunning Hamakua coastline. On a clear day you can see Maui!
