Explore The Waipio Ranch UTV Tour
Explore Hawaii’s Rich Cultural Landscape on a Personal UTV
This historic area is best explored on a 2-passenger UTV. Go all over this ranch that has epic views of Hamakua and along the Big Island coast. On this 2.5-hour tour, you will travel way up onto the mountainside and then back down to the ocean to a secluded beach. All along the way are historic sites and beautiful vistas.
Enjoy over two hours of fun and adventure on a Big Island off-road UTV expedition on easy-to-use vehicles led by knowledgeable expert local guides. After your check-in, you’ll have a safety briefing before heading out across the ranch along to the Hamakua Coast for a fun filled UTV tour. Cruise through famous movie locations such as Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, and The Descendants.
You will marvel at the dramatic views of the ranch with its lush foliage and colorful birds, local wild boar, turkeys, and Nene geese. We will even pass by remnants of the old Hawaiian settlements. This tour is jam-packed with adventure and one you will want to relive all over again.
Embark on a remarkable journey through an ancient land division called Ahupua’a, where you'll traverse from the majestic mountains to the breathtaking ocean. Drive through gardens that exude fertility, while marveling at the Hamakua sunfish swimming in the fishponds. Along the way, you'll be treated to a display of dwarf coconuts, breadfruit trees, kukui nuts, sugar cane, taro, sweet potatoes, and an array of heirloom bananas. You'll also have the opportunity to see the historic Hamakua ditch, an engineering marvel that has sustained the sugarcane industry for over a century. Today, this remarkable feat of engineering continues to benefit farmers and wildlife alike.
As you ride along, look for Razorback wild boars, graceful turkeys, and the beloved nene geese in their natural habitat. As we descend to the lower grasslands, we encounter the Kona Nightingales, a rescued herd of miniature donkeys that once played a vital role in the coffee plantations of yesteryear.
But our adventure doesn't end there. Looking over the water, you can witness majestic humpback whales in their seasonal migration as they share tender moments with their offspring in the warm Pacific. Marvel at the acrobatic displays of spinner dolphins as they frolic and play with their families.

The tour begins at WOH Ranch, a working livestock ranch and farm operation sharing exclusive views of enchanting Hamakua. This scenic opportunity allows travel through a traditional land division (Ahupua’a) that stretches from the mountain to the ocean and is home to native flora and fauna.
You will drive alongside fishponds full of Hamakua sunfish. Dwarf coconuts, breadfruit trees, kukui nut, sugar cane, taro, sweet potato, and multiple varieties of heirloom bananas are just some of the exotic plants you will see along the ride. Pass by our spring-fed reservoir where cattle roam and horses take leisurely swims before driving toward the mountain to sweeping grasslands and panoramic views. Intact old-growth forests stand deep in gulches where the Hawaiian hawk and Hawaiian owl make their nests in these towering giants. Razorback wild boar, turkeys flock and Hawai’i’s beloved Nene goose graze here.
Our WOH Ranch Tour is ocean-bound so you taste salt on the wind and hear waves pound against the sheer cliffs while we cruise under a canopy of ironwood trees near remnants of old Hawaiian settlements. Be sure to bring a camera so you can capture the keepsake of a lifetime. Our guides are happy to take group photos!
