All I can say is WOW. My husband and I rode at Dahana with PK who was just terrific. He got the formalities out of the way (you know "Hawaii has declared horseback riding to be a dangerous activity yadda yadda yadda") and then we were on our way. PK was very personable and told us all about the origins... more

We went on the two hour advanced ride with one other guest. PK (I won't try to spell his name) is a hell of a nice guy and the cutest guy my wife has seen in a looong time. (Well after me she says ;) ) He knew we wanted to do the cattle roundup and so off we went.... more

This was our fourth trip to Hawaii and we were traveling with our grandchildren- ages 10, 8 and 6. The older two had been on a horseback ride in PA- a nose to nose, as they say. We thought they would enjoy seeing the ranch country in Hawaii and I looked and looked on-line for a place that would allow... more

HI All, As a previous brief employee at Dahana Ranch I can say that I have yet to find a more fantastic place to experience the majestic feeling of riding and experiencing true Hawaii. I have not been back for almost 10 years, time to grow up... But I think about this place constantly, and recommend the expierence to anyone... more

We went on the 1.5 hour ride for the first time 3 years ago. My son was 6 at the time and it was one of the few opportunities for someone his age to ride. My daughter and I are more experienced riders. We loved it! We went back the next year and can't wait to visit the ranch when... more

We booked a cattle drive over Christmas for my sister's 50th birthday. There were 10 of us, ranging in age from 8-52. Initially I was a little skeptical. After all, I've ridden most of my life, so I thought I was a little "above it all." And now, well into middle age, I was also worried about not being in... more

We just came back from our trip to Dahana Ranch this morning. This is a family run business set in beautiful Parker Ranch area. We took the 1.5 hour ride which was perfect for our group. We had 4 children, ages 6 - 10. The two littlest ones were led by our guide and the rest of us rode on... more

Riding at Dahana Ranch -- just past Waimea on the Big Island of Hawaii -- is an amazing experience. The fact that it's a family-run working ranch really shows. The Quarter Horses are ranch trained (meaning they've worked cattle, tolerated enthusiastic dogs, sudden surprises, and even performed in local rodeos)and matched carefully with riders. Just as the horse to rider... more

I would just like to say a couple things about this outfit. I have brought my family to the beautiful Hawaiian islands for the past five years and every year we have made it a point to go horseback riding at Dahana Ranch. It is simply the GREATEST riding experience I have ever had in my entire life. The horses... more
