This was an amazing experience. Lots of kind and helpful people, and the horses were well trained worth little effort to go where they needed to go. It had been nearly 20 years since i rode a horse but the staff was all very encouraging and helpful the whole way. My fears went away pretty quick and I was able to enjoy the view and the Ride.

This tour was our absolute FAVORITE. Worth every penny!!!! We were traveling with our children (ages 7 and 10) and our kids cannot stop talking about this excursion. It was everyone's favorite. The staff were so caring (especially towards the kids). They stayed behind our kid's horses the entire time to make sure they were safe. Be sure to wear glasses to protect your eyes!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR! Views are breathtaking.

This tour was the best part of our week in Maui! My husband and I had both never ridden a horse before, but the cowboys were so knowledgeable in helping us and giving us all the information we needed to connect with the horses. The views are breathtaking and the ranch is super cute!
