We arrived at 10:15 for our 11:00am 2 hour ride. We walked into the office to get checked in and there's this crazy looking rooster behind the desk, with a shaggy mane of feathers. The owner told us he was given to her by a neighbor and she named him Andy Warhol because of the blond hair. We went outside... More

We took a 2 hr private ride. While group rides are ONLY walking, private rides allow you to trot and lope. Our horses were Wahine and Hula Girl. Hula Girl almost threw my wife off, but she held on to the horse. Bruce was a very experienced and friendly guide. Most of the ride is meandering around trails on the... More

My wife and I took our two daughters (9 and 11) for a 1.5 hour ride at the Silver Falls Ranch and had a fabulous time. The horses were extremely well trained, the guide, Suki, was masterful at keeping our eclectic group (all ages and abilities) relaxed, informed and utterly comfortable on a beautiful ride through this gorgeous property south...

Silver Falls Ranch is certainly a beautiful setting. The lush mountain landscape and farm animals created a very visually pleasing setting. I thought it would be a great area to hold a private event. Very peaceful. I did the 2hr ride to the waterfall and I thought the guides did a good job mounting everyone safely onto the horses and... More

My husband and I were on our honeymoon and rode horses with Silver Falls Ranch on November 4, 2011. Phenomenal ranch. Our tour guide, "Laurie" was very well read, She was very knowledgeable of the plants, and the ranch as well. I was petrified to ride a horse, but Laurie was very patient and took good care of me :)... More

We really enjoyed our ride, even though it rained on us. We went for the 3 hour waterfall ride that took us for a nice, long ride through very nice scenery. We would have went swimming, but the rain was enough for us. The swimming hole looked really nice though. The meal was the best we had on any excursion.... More

Bruce was a really kind, knowledgeable guide but the ride itself was kind of bland. (not that the following is the barn's fault, obviously) The woman directly behind me CONSTANTLY was letting her horse put her nose on mine's tail and my horse tried to buck and kick her many times (totally not the horse's fault! Rider error!!!). Be careful... More

During our recent trip, the wife and I were thrilled to have the opportunity to see a little of Kaua'i on horseback. We made a telephone reservation with Silver Falls Ranch as we saw a lovely advert for it in the local magazine. The reservation was made quickly and conveniently, and we were given easy instructions for the drive over... More

First off, every brochure I read said it was an hour and a half ride, when it was only one hour. They asked us to get there a half an hour early and then just made us wait, then after the appointed time for our ride, they proceeded to get the horses ready for us. Then slowly but surely, they...

We booked a 9:30 am private. Our guide, Dave, was very good. He gave us a lesson prior to the trail. Because we had a private, we could go as fast or slow as we wanted. The scenery is nice, but I agree with another reviewer that it was all the same. The lunch was pork and rice. It was... More
