Paniolo Cattle Drive Ride We are the only horseback riding company based on its own cattle ranch and we offer the only cattle drive on Kauai! Every 5-10 days, depending on conditions, we move the herd to new pastures. You are welcome to join us and try your hand at being a paniolo, or Hawaiian cowboy. 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. Learn about, and take part in cattle ranching Hawaiian style. This is an unforgettable adventure!
