Play Cowboy on Princeville Ranch

Princeville Ranch's 2,500 acres run from the mountains to dramatic ocean bluffs. The views are incredible, ranging from expansive pastures to dense tropical rainforest crowned by idyllic waterfalls. This working cattle ranch dates back to 1831.

For over 25 years the family-run business has offered a variety of one-of-a-kind horseback adventures. The Waterfall Picnic Adventure takes you across ranch lands with panoramic views. After tying up your mount, take a short hike to an 80-foot waterfall where you can swim and picnic. On the way back to the horses, you'll cross the top of the falls and pass another waterfall perfect for one more photo.

On the Ocean Bluff Ride, you'll enjoy the sights of the Hanalei Mountains, Bali Hai, Anini Reef and the Kilauea Lighthouse. You'll ride to the bluffs' edge for dramatic ocean views. Guests may also sign up for a private ranch tour or join in a weekly cattle drive. Learn the skills of Hawaiian cowboys, called paniolos, as you help to move the herd to its next pasture.

Princeville Ranch Stables is located mauka (toward the mountains) on Kapaka Road and Kuhio Highway, just minutes east of the entrance to Princeville Resort. Look for the large horse sign and you'll know you're there.
