Ohana Ranch ATV Farm Tour

Most ATV tours on the Big Island follow a purpose-built course. This one runs through a working farm. Ohana Ranch sits in Mountain View, between Hilo and Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, at an elevation that keeps the property green and cool year-round. The 2-hour tour moves through active cultivation areas where taro, Hawaiian coffee, and guava are grown, with seasonal fruit picking built into the route.

Guides run a short safety briefing and practice section on flat terrain before the main tour starts. After that, the trail moves through the farm in sequence: fruit-picking stops, views of the growing areas, and commentary from the guide on Hawaiian agricultural history, traditional farming practices, and how the land is currently used. Farm animals are part of the landscape throughout: goats, sheep, chickens, and Hawaiian cattle. Wild boar have been sighted along the trail edges with enough regularity that it comes up in reviews, though it is not a guaranteed sighting.

Fruit picking is included in the tour; guava grows on the same property where taro and Hawaiian coffee are cultivated.

On the Farm

The guides here are a consistent strength. Names like Keoki, Pono, Hannah, and Kanoe appear across review after review, and guests describe a depth of knowledge in the cultural and agricultural context that goes well beyond what the tour description suggests. The educational layer catches most visitors off guard. This reads more like a guided cultural experience on ATVs than an adrenaline loop with some scenery.

The Side x Side UTVs seat 4 to 6 passengers, making this a practical option for families with younger children. 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.

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

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. The tour operates on a working farm property in Mountain View at elevation, where rain is common. Reviewers consistently report that wet conditions add to the experience rather than detract from it, and the terrain handles mud without the trail becoming impassable.

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.

Guides draw consistent praise for depth of knowledge, not just friendliness. The agricultural and cultural storytelling surprises guests who arrive expecting a standard trail loop. The one recurring suggestion in reviews is a coffee tasting stop at the end, which the ranch property would logically support. At $109 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.
