5.00We signed up for the horseback tour but they were short a tour guide so we were given a chance to do an ATV tour. We had never ridden ATVs (my daughter and I. She is 25 I am 57). We were nervous, but there was no need to be. The guides took us on a test drive and were guiding us the whole way. We agreed this was such a fun way to spend our day!! Only warning is there was a lot of dust and dirt all over us afterwards. But it made our Maui trip so special to ride mountain trails, see sacred grounds and waterfalls nearby and then see a spectacular ocean view. Definitely worth every penny.
Really well organised and...

3.00I feel this tour is not for people who have never ridden a horse. I feel it is more intermediate level despite saying beginners can do it. The climb up the mountain for beautiful picture shots is quit high, 2500 feet as advertised at the peek. After photos at the peek which the guides were great with, my saddle was not checked thoroughly which not being a rider, I did not think to ask them to check the saddle after the Josling ride up the mountain. The guides did rearrange the horse order for the down hill treck based on horse behaviors they knew about but on the downhill part we go much faster than the uphill portion and my horse would not slow down, my saddle slid way off to the side and I fell completely on my side and hit my head. Very scary and could have really hurt myself. Wear your helmet and make sure they check your saddle before the downhill part of the tour. Beautiful views, long tour, well groomed horses, just not for beginners and make sure they check the saddles before going downhill!
Highly Recommend

5.00This was so much fun! Everyone was super nice! Tour guides were awesome! Don’t wear white because you will get dirty from the dust.

5.00Wife and I joined for a horseback tour in October, our guides were Cienna and Kai and we rode Gold and Mana. This was the best horseback guided trail ride i’ve joined! The views were incredible, the guides were awesome, and the horses were super healthy and happy to be on the trail. This tour allows you to cantor a bit which was nice. Lots of uphill and downhill on the tour along with a beautiful view of the ocean. this trip is easy for a beginner rider but will keep an intermediate or advanced rider happy. Beware the dust on the trail — wear a mask if you are sensitive and don’t wear clothing you hope to wear again without a trip to the laundry!
Breathtaking views on horseback

5.00Breathtaking views on horseback! These horses go up and down some pretty steep terrain and never did I feel uneasy. I’ve been riding for 3 years and loved it and it’s just as amazing for beginners. My daughter, 16 yrs old, is an experienced rider as well and enjoyed it equally. We had two great guides, Kai and Sierra, that worked really well together to talk to the riders and keep the horses on track. We got great pictures and even had the option to canter the horses. A lot of loose soil so tons of dust gets kicked up I highly recommend not wearing anything nice or white. Wonderful experience! Definitely worth it!

4.00Nice experience and glad we opportunity to ride their wonderful horses. However, need to find a way so that its not so dusty as we were crazy dirty and dusty. Maybe should put stray/hay down since it’s so dry due to lack of rain or perhaps water the trail.
