A ATV + Farm Tour experience by Ohana Ranch. Back to all Big Island tours.
Tour Summary: ATV ride through a working Hawaiian farm in Mountain View, with fruit picking and cultural commentary on taro, coffee, and farming history. From $119 for 2 hours; no experience needed, ages 3 and up.
Reviewers consistently describe the mud as a highlight rather than a drawback; most guests come back thoroughly coated. 
Fruit picking is included in the tour; guava grows on the same property where taro and Hawaiian coffee are cultivated. Side-by-side UTVs seat up to six and accept passengers from age 3, making this one of the few Big Island ATV tours where young children can participate Solo 4×4 ATVs and 2-to-4-seat UTVs are both available, so riders with and without a license can cover the full course in the same group. Mountain View sits in the rainy interior of the east side and the trails reflect it; bring a dedicated change of clothes and shoes. Guides pace the group along the trail and adjust speed for different experience levels.

About the Ohana Ranch ATV Tour
The route runs through a working farm, not a purpose-built ATV course. Ohana Ranch sits in Mountain View, between Hilo and Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, at an elevation where the property stays green and cool year-round. The 2-hour ride passes fields of taro, Hawaiian coffee, and guava, with seasonal fruit picking along the route.
Guides run a short safety briefing and practice section on flat terrain before the main tour starts. After that, you ride through the farm with stops to pick fruit and look over the fields, while the guide talks about Hawaiian farming history and how the land is used today. You pass goats, sheep, chickens, and Hawaiian cattle along the way. Reviewers mention seeing wild boar along the trail edges, but not on every tour.
Fruit picking is included in the tour price.
Guides and Vehicles
Reviewers often name guides such as Keoki, Pono, Hannah, and Kanoe and praise how much they know about Hawaiian farming and culture. Expect more guided talk about farming and Hawaiian culture than fast riding.
The Side x Side UTVs seat 4 to 6 passengers, so this is one of the few Big Island ATV tours a family with young children can take together. Solo ATV riders must be 16 and over with a valid driver’s license; passengers aged 3 and up can ride in the SxS with a licensed driver. Weight limit is 425 lbs. No prior ATV experience is needed.
Before You Book
Helmets and boots are provided; boots go up to size 14. Riders must be able to get on and off the ATV unassisted. Rain is common at this elevation in Mountain View. Reviewers who rode in the rain say the mud made it more fun, and the trail stays passable when wet.
Solo 4×4 ATVs and 2-to-4-seat UTVs are both available, so riders with and without a license can cover the full course in the same group.
Reviewers often ask for a coffee tasting at the end, and the tour doesn’t include one. At $119 per person for 2 hours, this is one of the more accessible ATV options on the island for families, and about as different from the coastal mud-course format as you can get.
