Waipi'o Naalapa Stables Horseback Tour in Honokaa

US $110 per person

Our guides were delightful! So helpful and friendly! My kids were new to horse riding but I felt totally confident that they were safe. The horses were gentle and very well trained. The only slight frustration was that the guides were giving us all kinds of great information as we rode but it was hard to hear as we were riding single file. I’m not sure if a microphone would even be possible but I would have loved to be able to hear what they were saying. Definitely worth the price. Thank you Naalapa for a truly memorable birthday for my 12 year old!🙂

very pleased with the horses(which are very well cared for) , the guides are excellent, the organization of the tour is very well done and of course the scenery in the valley is gorgeous

Good ride !!! The horses were from good stock and the guides even better. Oh, the Waipi'o was to die for ;-)

Awesome experience! Super friendly, knowledgeable and fun guides!! Fantastic views!!

Overall was more of a five. Only concern was a safety issue w/ horse backing very close to a dry creek bed where edge was cobbles. Asked for help, but guide seemed to say we were fine.

It was so good tour. only I expected was that more explanation on plants there. ither than that, it's a nice horseback tour with friendly guide. I will come again.

Trip of a life time! Horses were well mannered and in excellent condition. Guides very knowledgeable about the valley, extremely personably and expert horsewomen. Highly recommend this ride for everyone!

The guides were very knowledgeable about the area and the horses.

It was everything I’d hoped for. Lots of waterfalls and flowing streams. Gentle Horses and both girls were obviously very experienced guides.

We had a great time. It’s a beautiful place and the horses look happy and well taken care of. Well worth the trip!

We had a fabulous ride in the Waipi'o valley. The ride down in the 4 wheel drive van was eye-opening. This is the only way to go down into the valley. The people who led the ride were very professional and friendly and the horses were obviously very well cared for. It seemed that a number of people on our tour had never been on a horse before, and they were watched and attended to very well. The valley was so beautiful; and, in my opinion, this was the only way to see it. We had a great time and I would do it again.

Staff was capable, knowledgable and very personable...we had a great time! The stable was also great about safety and communication. Weather conditions forced them to cancel our ride two days in a row...third time was the charm and we jad a beautiful day to enjoy our ride. Thanks so much to Khira and Grace!

The horses are tame and easy to work with if you are a newcomer to horseback riding. The views are stunning. The guides are very knowledgeable.

Great way to see the valley, friendly and knowledgeable guides, easy horses to ride. Loved the puppy and doggies, too

The guides were welcoming and easy to communicate with. They were knowledgeable about the area and engaging with the group as a whole. Great attitudes! Grace & Kira are the best!!

We had a wonderful experience and it was one of the best parts of our trip to the Big Island. The guides were stellar and the horses very friendly and well mannered.

Our guide was wonderful, the horses well behaved and we were riding though paradise. Thank you

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!
