Ohana Ranch ATV Farm Tour (Mountain View, Big Island)
Photo: Operator
Overview
The Ohana Ranch ATV tour is a 2-hour guided Mountain View ATV tour through taro, coffee and guava fields on a working farm between Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. It suits families and first-time riders, since children from age 3 can ride along. The biggest drawback is mud: the area is wet and several reviewers rode in rain.
Highlights
- Three ride types: your own ATV for ages 16+ at $139, or a $119 seat in a guide-driven ride-along or self-driven side-by-side that takes children from age 3 (Love Big Island, October 2026).
- Departures at 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM; the tour runs about 2 hours including a safety briefing and practice loop on flat ground.
- Trails cross open pasture, native forest and orchards; guests pick seasonal fruit and see where taro, guava and coffee grow, with goats, sheep, chickens and cattle on the route.
- Helmets and boots up to size 14 are supplied, and parking at the ranch is free.
- Ratings as of October 2026: 9.8/10 from 88 Viator reviews on Travelocity, 4.89 from 157 Airbnb ratings, 5.0 from 16 WAUG/GetYourGuide reviews, and 4.9 from 356 Viator plus 4.2 from 25 GetYourGuide reviews cited by Love Big Island.
What to Expect
- Drive to Ohana Ranch at 17 North Kulani Road, Mountain View, HI 96771, about 30 minutes south of Hilo, and follow the signs to the check-in area; parking is free.
- The guide fits you with a helmet and boots and runs through the controls, then you do a short practice ride on flat terrain.
- You follow the guide on beginner-friendly trails through pasture, forest and fruit orchards; two reviewers we read mention thick mud limiting speed.
