ATV
The Kohala Ditch Trail is an extraordinary journey along the unique windswept coastline of North Kohala. Our trail traces the old railroad path, which once serviced our bustling sugar industry. Riding through private ranchlands and pastures to the coast, the Historical Ocean Trail is an enjoyable ride that is easy for every level of rider. Along the way, your knowledgeable local guides share the genuine history of Old Hawai’i. Relax and enjoy refreshments at a beautiful and secluded pebbled beach, once favored by King Kamehameha (Kamehameha the Great). It is still a haven for surfers. Continue your journey into the Kohala Mountain and ride along the unique Kohala Ditch system. The trail rewards riders with breathtaking scenery of the rugged Kohala coastline cliffs jutting out into the sea and sweeping countryside and open spaces.
