2.00no waterfall, and no “if you are experienced, you have two opportunities to canter or gallop, weather permitting” as mentioned in introduction. as for the photos shooting part , they only took pictures on 2 spots for every group rather than record on the way-
Not meet expectation as mentioned in introduction.

3.00It was showed on the introduction with” if you are experienced, you have two opportunities to canter or gallop”; However, we didn’t get any related information to those activities mentioned. We can understand there maybe no rain so no waterfall, but all experienced is just a ride back and force with horses head to tail- with all dust. Even the photo shooting parts were taken at the spots by group-not as mentioned like “ Your guide will take photos throughout the 2-hour tour and take you back to the ranch at the end.”
Amazing

5.00This was a very good experience, the horses were very sweet, and very well trained, and our guides were very helpful and instructive through the whole trail. The money is completely worth spending if you like riding horses. The whole thing takes about 2 hours, but it feels like 10 minutes because it’s a lot of fun. There are moderately sized groups, but it’s still a very relaxing and calm atmosphere.
Fun horse riding.

5.00Fun, great guides, mellow horses except Tiny had a bit of an attitude that day! Great trail except kind of muddy. Good view of the ocean from the bluff. Fun day we had. Encourage families and kids to go. Good for beginners and advanced riders.
Book the experience!

5.00Great experience. The owner and staff are so nice and accommodating. The day we went it was pouring rain but we still had a great time. Horses are well cared for and well mannered. Would highly recommend this place. Just keep your fingers crossed for sunshine. You will have fun regardless.
Wonderful experience

5.00Me and my wife came here on our honeymoon and it was incredibly amazing! Our guides Kai, and Cierra were both excellent! They knew the terrain and the horses very well! They paired everyone up with the horse that best suited them. The views were spectacular from the mountain top to the ocean overlook! Great experience, great views, great horses, and two great guides! Highly recommend!

4.00It was a scenic ride and low key. We had a chance to gallop if we wanted to— half of our group did it. They gave us good instructions before riding. We rode for about 2 hours.
Best attraction on Maui

4.00We did this ride in November and it had rained recently. The owner was very nice and did offer to reschedule us or give us a refund as we could not go up the mountain. Having done at least 10 or more commercial rides at various parks in various states, this was an average ride. The guides were very nice and the horses appeared healthy and in good condition. Th ride down toward the ocean was pretty, and of course the ocean views were gorgeous! The two concerns I had were: 1. Even with 2 wranglers, the group got pretty spread out. Add to that the fact that the horses are used to cantering/galloping at two points, even though we had elected NOT to canter due to trail conditions, I was concerned that some very inexperienced riders were moving faster than I was comfortable with (I am a previous riding instructor). I heard no complaints so it is possible that they were fine with it, I just know they really had no choice at the time. 2. My second "complaint" is that there really is no riding along the coast. There is a small field with a view of the ocean and an opening to take a photo. It just wasn't what I was expecting. Overall we had a fun time so I still recommend this if you want to ride on Maui! Be aware that if there has been any rain it is VERY muddy and dress accordingly!
