Paniolo Cattle Drive Ride Princeville Ranch Stables
We offer the only cattle drive ride on Kaua'i and are the only horseback riding company based on its own cattle ranch. We offer you the real thing! Our working cow/calf operation is home to a herd of over 500 animals and has historical roots dating back to 1831 when the first 100 Longhorns were imported to the area. Every 5-10 days, depending on conditions, we move our herd to new pastures. You are welcome to join us and try your hand at being a paniolo, or Hawai'ian cowboy. This is truly an unforgettable adventure, where you can learn about, and take part in, cattle ranching Hawaiian style.
