Rave Letters from our happy riders

Have an experience to share? We'd love to hear it!

We decided to do a horseback ride during our December 2012 Kona vacation and we are so glad that we chose your outfit. Erik was knowledgable about the island and the horses and the history of the trail. The horses were incredible! This was, by far, one of the best experiences we've ever had in our lives! Erik couldn't have been a better guide and we appreciate the love and care that he shows for your wonderful horses. We plan to do this trip again the next time we visit the Big Island.

Although I had not been on a horse since 1965, I had a wonderful time on the trail ride. The scenery was breathtaking and the horses were so strong and well behaved. Erik did a GREAT job giving us the history and interesting facts about the area. This adventure was the perfect way to end our trip to the Big Island.

Our trail ride with Erik in January 2012 was a major highlight in our visit to the Big Island. Eric was so knowledgeable and made the ride and snorkelling so much fun. The scenery was so amazing and the horses were so easy to ride. The lunch was delicious and we certainly appreciated all the avacados you gave us from your farm! We will be back one day and mention you to anyone we know travelling to Hawaii! Mahalo from all of us!

Thanks for a fun adventure, Erik! You and your family did a great job of putting together a memorable trail ride for our group of four. It was a highlight of our week! We will share the photos and highlights with our friends and family. Keep up the good work!

My husband and I went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We agreed that the trail ride was our favorite part of the entire vacation. It was absolutely gorgeous. I wish we could do it again! The horses are incredibly well mannered. Neither of us are very experienced riders, but the horses (and guide) made it easy! I'd recommend this experience to everyone.

Bones, thanks again for the great trip! You have some great horses, great stories, and the lunch was delicious. I just wish it could have been longer!I know we'll be back.

Just a heartfelt Thank You to Bones for taking us on a most enjoyable trailride. Truly a unique and peaceful experience. The kids are still talking about it and will do so for a very long time. Aloha from DC, it's hotter here than there (but with all the politicians - what would you expect!)

Hi Bones! Just wanted to let you know that we had the greatest time with you on our ride. The snorkeling was fantastic, We've never seen such beautiful fish so close up before. This was one of the best ways to really see Hawaii. Addie can't think of a better way to have spent her birthday. Give Wilbur a big hug and tell him Addie says hi, he was the greatest. We hope to be back again some day real soon. It was worth the four of us coming from Georgia, South Carolina, Alberta Canada.

Hi Sally and Bones, It's been over a month since returning from Hawaii but the fantastic time I had is still very fresh in my mind, which is saying a lot for someone my age!(52). One of the very best experiences was the horseback ride on Kings Trail with Bones, Robert Redford, and Wildfire. The vistas were breathtaking, the history interesting, the snorkeling absolutely wonderful, and the lunch beneath the large shade trees delightful. It was a perfect day for me. Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to experience it!

Thanks a lot for by far the best trail ride I have ever paid for. It was the best part of my trip (which was, by the way, the best trip I have had). So, it was the best of the best. I don't have a scanner so if you could send me your snail mail address I would send you a photo or 2. I would love to follow up on your rodeo riding offer re: Lily, my 13 year old horse nut. If you were serious, tell me some details sometime and I will try to follow through. Thanks again. That day will keep me balanced for quite a while.

Hey Bones. Our family (John, Linda, Lauren & Little John) want to say we had a great memorable time with the ride during our stay on the Big Island. I'll mail you copies of the photos. Again, Thanks and we'll be back!!!!! Take care.

Bones-san, First, we sincerely apologize our very late thank you mail. We, Hajime and Tomoko, experienced great trail rides while we were there. (Unbelievable, it's already a month ago!?) We had very nice time with you and horses. We are sure that it is the best activity in the Big Island. Today, we have mailed copies of photos with our best regards. We are so happy if you remember us until our next visit. Again, thank you very much for wonderful time, and hope to see you again soon.

My Aunt and I went on your trail ride in October. I very much enjoyed it!!! My mother was happy too cause I was so happy. So, thank you.

My family went out with Bones 4 years ago. My daugthers were 19 and 6 and my mother went along. My mom isn't a confident rider. And she did fabulously. My six year old was right next to Bones and wanted to live there and get put to work. It was the highlight of our trip. The ride was amazing - incredible views. Snorkeling was the best - you could see the fish from the surface...and the company the greatest. A friend is traveling to Hawaii in a few weeks for her honeymoon and I suggested this trip for them. I am so glad the crew is still around sharing the beauty of the island. Aloha.
