A low cloud lifts off the pali as you roll through the yellow gate and onto Ohana Ranch — the gravel road crunches under ATV tires, the air humid with guava and coffee blossoms. Guides line up the machines, offer a safety briefing, and the herd moves out: open pastures give way to native forest trails and pockets of cultivated orchards where ripe fruit hangs within reach.
