OK, it's down a long road, surrounded by lava, and hidden behind the airport. It's a commercial farm, not a tourist attraction with an expensive gift shop, even although it does have the gift shop, and it's not really cheap, and not a polished tourist attraction. It's also totally fascinating. I took my wife and mother in law there, note... more

Not sure how we came across this place, but my son and wife seemed interested, so we decided to check it out. I was hesitant, but forked out the $35 each to partake. Before you view the seahorses, they give you a spiel about how they are saving this species and how the owners dropped their life savings to start... more

Our 7 year old twin girls loved this! Both had just studied sea creatures in school, so the timing was perfect. I appreciated the owners' dedication to this worthy cause. The price seems steep but everything in Hawaii costs more than on the mainland! But it's nice to support their preservation efforts. I was fascinated. more

I have been traveling to the big island annually for 20+ years. I visited the seahorse farm this year with my granddaughters and I was very impressed, The people are wonderful and getting to touch the seahorses was magnificent. My granddaughters (ages 7 and 14) could not stop talking about the experience. more

We visited the sea horse farm today with our 4 year old. It was pricey - $35 for adults. Kids under 4 are free. We paid for our son $25 - and it bought him a chance to hold a seahorse in the tour. Don't be mistaken - this place is a FARM, not a museum or aquarium. The place... more

The Ocean Rider Seahorse farm raises seahorses, and lots of them. The tour allows you to view how they raise the seahorses and also to hold one. Cost is a bit steep but the little kids on our trip were just enchanted with the seahorses. Takes about an hour for the tour, but a nice change from beach lounging if... more

We had a very nice time on this tour. You get to feed the seahorses and watch them eat. You get to hold a seahorse on your finger at the end of the tour. They have tiny seahorses from Texas and sea dragons from Australia and local seahorses from Hawaii. We enjoyed it and recommend it. more

South of the Kona airport is a seahorse farm. I believe it's the only place where seahorses can be consistently bred. It's a little pricey at 35 dollars, but it was interesting and one of those "first time things" we try to do on each trip to the islands. Highlights: towards the end of the tour, your tour is broken... more

The highlight of my 10 day Hawaii trip was learning about seahorses and being able to experience their development. Seeing one day old seahorses was interesting and their natural lava tube shrimp pond was facinating. The price seems steep ($35 pp) but since its such a unique experience, I would say its worth it. Our tour guide seemed nervous, but... more
