Hawaii Forest & Trail's Mule Trail Adventure, Kailua Kona

Mules may not seem like the most glamorous beasts, but in truth they can carry people where horses would fear to tread and ATVs would just spin their wheels. The fine animals of Hawaii Forest and Trail convey guests down a steep switchback trail, from a lookout point all the way down to a shady valley, through a forest and out to a private black sand beach and back up the steep incline. The entire trip lasts about three hours. All riders must be older than eight and weigh less than 240 pounds. Call for prices and reservations.
