About this tour
The Wrangler Ride is a long open-range horseback ride on Kohala Mountain on the Big Island, run by Paniolo Adventures. It is built for intermediate and expert riders who want extended time in the saddle, with plenty of opportunity to trot and canter. A short break midway through lets riders stretch their legs, and snacks are welcome to bring along.
This ride suits people who have ridden regularly and are comfortable at faster gaits. Riders meet at Kohala Mountain, and no hotel pickup is provided, so plan your own transportation. Boots, a helmet, light jackets, Australian duster jackets, and sunscreen are all provided. Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes, and bring a jacket or sweatshirt because temperatures on the mountain run noticeably cooler than at lower elevations.
The ride is weather dependent, so conditions can affect whether it goes out. At check-in, riders must present the credit card used for payment along with a matching government-issued photo ID.

What experience level do I need for the Wrangler Ride?
The Wrangler Ride is designed for intermediate and expert riders who have ridden more than 50 times in the last five years. It is not suitable for beginners, as the ride focuses on giving experienced riders extended time at a trot and canter across open range terrain. The listing describes this ride as built for enthusiasts who want a serious ride fix, with four hours in the saddle and frequent opportunities to move beyond a walking pace. If you have not logged significant riding time in recent years, a different ride level would be a better fit.
How long is the Wrangler Ride and what does the schedule look like?
The Wrangler Ride lasts 4.5 hours total, with four hours spent in the saddle and a short break midway through after the first two hours. Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m. at Kohala Mountain on the Big Island. The midway break gives riders a chance to stretch their legs, and the listing notes you are welcome to bring snacks for that stop. Planning your morning around an 8:30 a.m. check-in is important, as the ride starts early and runs for the better part of a half day.
What gear is provided for the Wrangler Ride, and what should I bring myself?
Paniolo Adventures provides boots, helmets, light jackets, and Australian Duster Jackets for the Wrangler Ride. Sunscreen is also listed as included, and bottled water is available for purchase on-site. Riders should bring their own long pants and closed-toe shoes, and the listing specifically recommends wearing or packing a light jacket, sweatshirt, or coat because temperatures at Kohala Mountain run 10 to 15 degrees cooler than at sea level. Snacks for the midway break are also a good idea to pack.
What is the cancellation policy for the Wrangler Ride?
Groups of six or more riders are subject to a longer 48-hour cancellation notice requirement. The listing also notes that all guests must sign a waiver before riding. For payment security, Paniolo Adventures requires you to present the credit card used at booking along with a matching government-issued photo ID at check-in - the name on the card must match the booking contact with no exceptions.
