5.00This was the best experience! With great guides and the beautiful scenery, I couldn’t have hoped for a better activity to do here on Maui. The initial instructions were clear and thorough. My horses name was Larry and at the end of the tour, Larry and I decided we were gonna remain besties ☺️ He was the best guide also during this experience. 20/10 recommend everyone to book this tour! Thanks again to Circle M Ranch for an unforgettable experience!
