🌞PRIVATE Sunset Ride

Make the sunset all yours with a Private Sunset Ride at Ponoholo Ranch. This exclusive experience gives your group a dedicated wrangler and the freedom to enjoy 1.5 hours in the saddle across the ranch's rolling pastures at 3,000 feet on Kohala Mountain — timed perfectly to catch the sun dipping below the Pacific horizon.

The private format means your party rides at its own pace, with opportunities to trot and canter suited to your group's experience level. All riders are welcome, from first-timers to seasoned equestrians.

From the elevated ranch, unobstructed views stretch across the ocean, the Kohala and Kona coastlines, and Hawaii Island's volcanic peaks. As the sunset paints the sky, the mountain landscape glows with golden light — an unforgettable backdrop for photos and memories.

Boots, light jackets, Australian duster jackets, and helmets are provided. Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants, and bring a warm layer for the cooler mountain evening. Check-in time varies by season to align with sunset — you'll see the exact time when selecting your date. Ages 8 and up welcome.
