Amazing experience!!

Our guides were terrific!! They took the time to ensure we had proper training before and during the ride, including pairing us with the best horse based on our experience level (we were first-timers). The views were breathtaking, the ride was smooth, the horses were well training... couldn't ask for a better experience! We also got to see peacocks, hogs, cattle, sheep and goats along the way. We highly recommend this tour!!

Everyone on this ranch is so kind. You got a little history about the property with was great and really got to see some great view points with the horses. They take photos for you and make sure your comfortable with the horse you have. Anytime I’m in Maui I’ll be coming back to do this
Beautiful ride in Maui

Chase was fantastic! He fitted each of us with the best horse and guided us through the trail. We even got to gallop. The views were breathtaking, definitely recommend to anyone who wants to explore different side of Maui
AMAZING

Great day for a ride.

The people, especially Don were great. The terrain was really not great for the horses. One of the horses fell forward on it's knees and got some abrasions. A suggestion maybe to improve on the paths to create more of smoother road for the horse's and their footing. I know the dirt is the red clay and when wet gets very slick. There were great animals on the farm, duck, pigs and peacocks big cactus and great flowers. The view's were spectacular, high cliff scenes to take pictures at. Bring some granola bars the horses love them!! All in all Don made sure we were informed, no one got lost and we all made it back safely!!
Wonderful experience! Highly recommend!

Guides were patient, knowledgeable, and obviously cared for the horses. The ride was a great balance between riding and stopping for photos/rest for horses/opportunity for pictures. We loved seeing all the other animals on the hillside farm. We would definitely do this again! Highly recommend! Loved the gallop at the end…awesome!!
Great time

The tour guides were both knowledgeable and helpful with guidance for controlling your horse and what to expect along the way. Beautiful scenery. Would have loved to have ran my horse longer. She gave it a go but tired out about halfway. It was a hot day. Wonderful experience for beginner and intermediate riders.
Great for my non rider husband.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
