I recently took a lovely 3 hour horseback ride with Katie at Esprit De Corps which I was able to make with short notice. The stables and grounds are tucked in a rural area but are very easy to find. They have an amazing selection of riding boots that they let you borrow. My horse was very agreeable and Katie... More

This was the best horseback ride I have ever experienced, our guide was so informative and had so much information and so many stories. She kept us entertained the entire ride, we were also able to trot, and canter which was awesome. The groups are very small and it feels so much more personal. The ride itself was beautiful as...

We went on a fabulous beginners "Taste of Kauai" trail ride. Although Espirit seems more geared to experienced riders who want to go fast and despise nose-to-tail trail rides, we really enjoyed our ride. It was just my wife and I and our guide, Katie. Katie did a good job teaching us the basics of controlling the horses and then... More

My sister and I took the "Wow!" ride at Esprit de Corps in October and had a blast! It truly lives up to its name! We consider ourselves novice riders; we ride frequently and didn't want the standard nose-to-tail ride. We found Esprite de Corps on the internet, read the TripAdvisor reviews, and decided to book a ride. And we... More

Andy was our guide and he was excellent and very nice. Our horses were Liko and Shaka, both great mounts! The views were good and pace was fair. Most reviews are right on.

I loved the people that guided me and the friendly forces they provided. I thought that Dale, the owner, was very sensitive to our needs.

We visited Kauai last week and wanted to do a little horse back riding. I went with my daughter (14), Cousin and her daughter (11). We had a blast! We did the "Taste of Kauai" ride. Jamie was our guide and she was fantastic. The kids had pretty much no riding experience and my cousin hadn't ridden since childhood. I... More

This was my second trip to Esprit De Corps Riding Academy. Both rides were outstanding! This past ride, with guide Jamie, was a blast. Don't let the looks of the place detract you from the experienced, professional and horse-loving owner and guides. They care about their horses and your safety. I signed up for the Fast Half ride and was... More

My wife is an experienced rider but it had been a long time since I'd been on but we both wanted an experience where you aren't lined up on lifeless horses on rails that is unfortunately all to common. This is a fantastic ride. We did the 6 hour WOW ride and it was amazing. Great views, a knowledgeable and... More
