Princeville Ranch Stables

Ask a QuestionReserve Now!!!
Princeville Ranch is one of the oldest working cattle ranches in Hawaii with spectacular views of Kauai’s mountains and offering diverse terrain that includes pastures, rainforest, and jungle. This really is a working cattle ranch that raises their own calves and you’ll likely encounter their herd along the way. Their horses are very well trained and respond well to rider instruction. Princeville Ranch Stables encourages you to take the horses off the trail and spread out so that you get more than just a nose to tail experience, which is something that we really appreciate.

3 Hour Waterfall Tour

Take a memorable journey across their ranch and visit a spectacular waterfall for a picnic and swim. This 3 hour tour is a walking-paced ride, but you are free to take the horses off the trail. The 3 hour ride is available as a PRIVATE ride for a higher rate.

Schedule: 8am, 9am, 12pm, 1pm

Note: This tour also involves a short but steep hike to the waterfall.
