Great Customer Experience

Great people to work with. My wife had an issue with a rain storm that came in the day of our ride and the staff was more than understanding and willing to work with us. Highly recommend this company. Good people. Good vibes. - Jake

do we ride on the beach?

Answer

There is a ride on bluffs above the beach. Riding on the beach is not legal for commercial riding stables on Kauai.
