Great first time experience! - Awesome first time experience! Staffs are funny and really knowledgeable. I don't know a thing about horseback riding. Don did a great job teaching us how to ride. I was in the back of the group with Alyssa. She made riding comfortable seeing that I have zero experience. Horseback riding is officially an activity that I must book every time I am in Hawaii now.

Book this tour ! - This tour was brilliant, the check in and briefing was easy and informative but entertaining. The team come across as loving their job and the horses are their first priority along with making sure you have the best time. We trekked with Alissa and Leyla, who included a history of the ranch and cowboys of Maui. The scenery was just breathtaking, would highly recommend this tour !
