A little preparation. A memorable ride.

Your guide to horseback riding in Hawaii

Pick your island, find the scenery you love, and choose a ride that suits your group.

Find your kind of trail

On Oahu, choose Pālehua’s mountain scenery above Kapolei or Hawaii Polo’s oceanfront trails on the North Shore. On Maui, explore the West Maui Mountains or experience paniolo ranch life at Triple L Ranch in Kanaio.

Plan around your island

Oahu and Maui are separate islands. Confirm your accommodation, travel plans and meeting location before booking. Allow enough time to reach the ranch and complete check-in.

Before you saddle up

A few helpful details

Can beginners join a horseback ride?

Several rides welcome first-time riders, including Pālehua and Hawaii Polo on Oahu. Choose a ride that matches your experience and review the operator’s requirements before reserving.

What should I wear?

Wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable long pants. Bring sun protection and follow the clothing and check-in instructions in your booking confirmation.

Are there age or weight limits?

Each operator sets its own limits. Review the requirements for your selected ride, including restrictions for children, pregnancy and medical conditions, before booking.

Where do I meet for my ride?

Rides depart from different locations on Oahu and Maui. Use the exact meeting point and check-in time in your confirmation, and allow time for island traffic.
