This was by far the best experience in the 7 days we spent on the big island. The effort put forth by the guides to inform us on the history and plant and fruit tree life was amazing. Truly beautiful place. The horses were sweet, obedient and obviously well cared for. This experience deserves a lot more than 5 stars. Absolutely beautiful scenery and you get the feeling that you’re not even in the USA. This is a must do and some day we’ll be coming back.

A mile of hiking through the jungle. Wide open ocean appears all of sudden and there is a tiny and cozy pond with black sand underneath of the clear water. You could enjoy the whole place yourself because hardly seen anyone there.
