Explore and build something new

After riding through the Hawaiian countryside by horseback, you’ll feel a special closeness to this beautiful place, and there’s no better way to give back to the ‘aina (land) than by planting a native tree in our Legacy Forest. This eco-tour is part of a huge reforestation effort, and you’ll be able to make a difference in the preservation of Oahu’s North Shore.

You and your horse will travel up our scenic mountain trails, exploring peaceful forests, open pastures, and gorgeous ocean views. Along the way, you might see a variety of wildlife, like tropical birds, grazing cows, and wild pigs. Once at the Legacy Forest you’ll personally plant your milo tree during a special ceremony, including an opportunity to dedicate your tree. The tree is then uniquely paired to you through our proprietary GPS technology, which will allow you to monitor it and return to visit it whenever you’d like to see its progress. Each individual makes a difference, and we hope you’ll join us soon.

With an upgrade to your tour, you can also plant additional trackable trees. Each trackable tree is uniquely paired to you through our proprietary GPS technology, which will allow you to monitor it remotely and return to visit whenever you’d like to see its progress. You may also dedicate a tree in honor of a loved one or special event.
