Paniolo Riding Adventures

This is a great place for first timers! My family had an amazing time! Was a little nervous as my 11year old daughter and I have never been on a horse but the horses were super sweet! The staff was great too! We would absolutely do this again!

First time doing sunset tour, staff was very friendly and inviting. Been around horses and riding for many years, the barn was clean and welcoming. The horse themselves were taken care of very well. You could tell that they very healthy and loved. It was nice knowing that most of them aren’t worked all day, they many due 1 – 2 rides through the whole day. It was great getting back in the saddle and enjoying the beautiful views. Highly recommend it, even if your not a season rider. Staff will defiantly educate you on what to do.

Our hotel was able to make arrangements with the Ranch after other ranches were booked. Well I think we got the best experience. Our family of 5 did the morning ride with Karina she was fantastic. The horses were very nice but a little stubborn. We learned a lot about the area from her. We saw the cattle on the ranch. saw the Mauna Kea observations from a far as well as the beaches. We were able to trot, gallop & run with the horses. There were restrooms & place to change clothes and we each received a bottle of water for ride & one after the ride. She even recommended a restaurant in Hawi to each lunch, Sushi Rocks it was fabulous!

We just finished a morning ride and loved it. We took a 2 ½ hour private tour. The horses were well cared for, the stable provided everything you could need from sunscreen to dusters, our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the scenery breath taking. This is not a place that you have to ride nose to tail and you get a few chances to run the horses. We were extremely pleased.

We had an enjoyable ride and a quick lesson. We booked our tour at the hotel. Our concierge gabber us directions from the Kona resort. The router getting to three ranchtwist around but signage to tiger ranch its port because the ranch sign is over aided and harass Okiti off you canter from three Waimea side. We ended up calling the ranch. Luckily we headed out early. When we got there, all the necessary purity was there for us to ride was there and it was free. We took pictures of ourselves with port western outfits. When out came timer for the ride.
, they were professional and have us good instructions to handler the horses. Half Hort passed and everyone was mounted on the horses. Since it was only to be an hour tour, i thought that we only get to rider foot another half hour. But three guided its for an hour. The guides also helped take outer pictures of us while on the horse when we got to a less windier spot. Overall, we had fun but sore at the end.

Not sure what happened to the previous reviewer, but we had a great experience. Our guide Jacob, a local guy, was great. Really friendly, really knowledgeable and knew the horses well.
It wasn’t the typical nose to tail trail ride and the chance to gallop helped make the ride. It was my first time on a horse, and I felt right at home with the instruction and the horse. We did the sunset ride and it was the perfect amount of time. The views were unbelievable and a sunset with Maui in the background was more than we could have imagined.
Definitely one of the best things we did in our 2 weeks on the island.

When I first entered the Paniolo Adventures Ranch, I could already smell trouble. The owner, Bob, seemed uncomfortable and strange, and the place was deserted, but I ignored it. When we started talking about the price of the ride, Bob’s attitude suddenly changed. He said, «We don’t need your business here. Have a nice day.» My friends and I couldn’t believe it. We had never met someone so rude. Then, He kicked us out and we realized why the place was so deserted. Please never come here!
