With more than 10 years of experience as a professional writer, Megan holds a degree in Mass Media from her home state of Minnesota. After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
Perhaps more than any other state in the country, the Hawaiian Islands are home to the prettiest landscapes around — from the Pacific Ocean and pristine beaches to towering mountains and lush jungles. While we love Hawaii’s beaches as much as everyone else, today we’re headed inland to a hidden oasis on the island of Kauai where you’ll find some of the most jaw-dropping scenery around — and an adventure the entire family will love!
Welcome to Silver Falls Ranch, a breathtaking 300-acre private estate in Kalihiwai’s lush interior valley. Here, you will embark on a horseback riding adventure unlike any other.
Wind your way along the serene Pohakuhonu Stream, lined with hibiscus blossoms and ferns, through paperbark rainforests, and amongst lush surroundings. Along your journey, you’ll encounter more than 150 species of palm trees, wild orchids, and strawberry and blueberry guavas to sample — depending on the season, of course.
You’ll stop at a waterfall that sparkles silver in the sunlight, and a few steps will lead you to a refreshing mountain pool where you can enjoy a refreshing swim while enjoying the fragrance of Awapuhi ginger before enjoying a tasty Hawaiian picnic served with Aloha.
Many describe Silver Falls Ranch as being home to some of the lushest and most beautiful vistas on Kauai, and we're certainly inclined to agree. Just check out the crystalline sparkling waters of this mountain waterfall and pool!
While these photographs are undoubtedly stunning, there's nothing better than visiting Silver Falls Ranch for yourself. Let knowledgable guides lead you on an one-of-a-kind ride you'll remember forever.
Silver Falls Ranch is located at 2888 Kamookoa Rd., Kilauea, HI 96754, and is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily. You can learn more, or book your horseback riding tour, on their website. You can also give their Facebook page a like — the photos you’ll see are truly jaw-dropping!
