For groups of 6 or more 72 hour advance notification of cancellation is required.
Weather
Kaua‘i’s North shore is famous for its intermittent showers. Rides go out rain or shine. Rain panchos are provided. However, in the event of inclement weather at the time of departure, rides may be rescheduled at Princeville Ranch Stables management discretion.
Attire
We recommend long pants. We require completely covered shoes, like tennis shoes or hiking boots. Waterfall Ride guests are encouraged to wear a bathing suit under their clothes so that they can enjoy a swim in our waterfall pool.
Ride Check-in
Check in and registration for all rides is 30 minutes prior to scheduled departure. All rides check in at the main Princeville Ranch Stables facility. See the directions and map below.
