Waipi'o Naalapa Stables Horseback Tour in Honokaa

Absolutely incredible ride and spectacular views and the tour guides were outstanding! Would ride this again!! Mahalo

This was one of the best experiences we had in Hawaii. Our guides were fantastic and I want to take Arya home with me even though I didn’t ride her! We will return next year for sure!!!!

The tour guides were really friendly and helpful, and happy to share their knowledge. It’s strikingly beautiful country and to ride through on horseback makes it that little bit more special.

This was one of my favorite experiences from my trip to the Big Island. The horses were very well trained. I hadn't been on a horse in many years, but that was fine. The scenery is so beautiful!

Smelly helmets was only detractor.

After days of hiking in the mud and water, it was such a nice change to ride the horse going through the mud and water! The guides were really informative and added a personal touch since their family had lived in the valley not long ago. The horsed were well behaved and some even enjoyed the water crossings. I would highly recommend the tour.

The staff was friendly and informative. It was a smaller group so it was more personal. Great views from the valley.

The tour met my expectations and was a wonderful fit/level for my 8 and 10 year old girls. My whole family thoroughly enjoyed it.

My husband & I had a fantastic ride. Loved that our guides Kira & Jamie knew a great deal about the valley & it's history. We will be returning next year at this time, and plan on booking the five hour ride. I highly recommend Naalapa stables to anyone who wants to take a lovely relaxing ride in the lush green valley. It was a beautiful experience and will also be recommending this ride to our friends & family. Tried to look up the stables Facebook page, to share with all my friends, but couldn't find one. Until next time Kira & Jamie Thank you both for a ride of a life time. Sincerely Betty & Rod Guindon

Great guides. Very knowledgeable of the environment and Hawaiian culture. Horses were safe sound and well cared for.

Great views. Guide was amazing and very friendly

The horses and guides were wonderful! Jamie spent so much time sharing his knowledge and appreciation for his Hawaiian culture. Mahalo for everything!

Jaime and Kiera were excellent and knowledgeable guides.

Our guides made it all happen safely. They were very knowledgable about the horses and about Hawaiian cultural life and the area we were in. It was a beautiful experience.

Great ride; horses very well behaved, pretty and cute; our guide Jamie was terrific; the rain forest a lifetime experience! Mahalo!!

Jamie was an excellent tour guide - he deserves a raise!! It made the experience so much more authentic to hear from someone who not only grew up in the Waipio Valley, but knew the plants and cultural history of the area. He was so knowledgeable, and I loved hearing his tour while we were riding. His quick "how to ride a horse" demo was great - my fiance was a first timer, and I'm more experienced, but it was perfect for both of us. He gave great riding instructions to keep everyone safe. It was my favorite part of our trip to Hawaii. Thank you, Jamie! My only detractor here is - why is the 17 year old girl (apologies, I forget her name?) the manager over a 30 year old father? She was very nice and helpful at the end, but didn't provide the same oral narration that Jamie was able to give.

I choose this rating because the entire experience was just exceptional. Both Jamie and Grace were wonderful - their knowledge/stories, and passion and care of the horses made this a truly enjoyable and memorable experience. Myself and my daughter Jess really appreciated that we got to share Jamie's family property and the environment and know that this was a special moment in our time in Hawaii. For me it was the highlight of our time there. The horses were gorgeous. Initially I was a bit apprehensive how I would manage as it has been some time since I had been riding. But the safety information and intro lesson that Jamie did and the nose to tail trek with Grace in front and Jamie behind gave me confidence and within only a few short minutes into the ride I felt relaxed and confident, which enabled me to truly enjoy the environment and experience. I have returned to Australia and have already recommended this tour to friends and colleagues who may be considering Hawaii and doing such a tour. Thank you so very much.

Spectacular! The tour exceeded our expectations! We were so blessed to have Jamie and Grace be our guide. Jamie is so knowledgeable and passionate and that really shows through when he gave us our tour. Don't change a thing!

Beautiful tour of the valley!

Jamie, the guide, was very knowledgeable and gave us an incredible tour of the valley. The horses were wonderful and the whole experience was fantastic. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you.

Wonderful tour!!

Great tour. Riders make it entertaining and know the finite details of hawaii life and culture

The staff was friendly and well informed.....and made sure we had safe fun. The valley is a sacred place....

A great experience! The guides were helpful and friendly, very knowledgeable about the valley. We were all first or second time riders and they really took care of us. The Wiopio Valley is beautiful even in the dry season. It was truly the experience of a lifetime

Our ride with Na'alapa Stables was nothing short of amazing. We had a great time and would definitely recommend them!
