Overview

Get back to nature and discover Kauai on horseback. Ride along bluffs, across foothills toward the coast, past secluded beaches and bays, across sugar cane fields, and even waterfalls. A couple of horseback riding companies offer guided tours ranging from 90 minutes to five hours, which includes stops for snacks, photos, picnics, swimming and time to soak in the views. Many of the tours take you into their privately owned ranches, complete with waterfalls and secret vistas seen by only few.

Opt for gentle, slower trots, or attempt more strenuous and lengthier journeys. Make sure you wear jeans and sunscreen with a swimsuit underneath, depending on your itinerary. Experience Kauai like a real paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) as you tour the Garden Isle on horseback.
