Hilo Horseback Riding Tour
Take a trail ride on horseback & swim or SUP at a secluded waterfall.
Frequently Asked Questions
I have never ridden a horse before/am a beginner. Will I be able to ride on my own?
Our gentle horses are trained for trail riding with beginners and, after a basic riding tutorial, you will be familiar with the horse’s commands. Additionally, the small group size of these tours allows for guides monitoring riders most of the time. You can expect to reach a trot at some points during the ride.
Is there water in the waterfall year-round?
Yes, Umauma Falls has a steady waterflow year-round. The waterfall, river, and pool will be more robust during the wet season between November and March and may also appear more churned up from any recent heavy rainfall.
Are there changing rooms, restrooms, or food available at the waterfall?
Please plan ahead for your ride as there are no changing rooms, restrooms, or food available at the secluded waterfall. If you plan on swimming or stand up paddling, come with your bathing suit on under your clothes. Food is available for purchase before and after the ride at the Umauma Visitor Center and can be packed in the saddle bag for easy transport.
