Well worth the trip!

Lauri_K, May 2024

The views of the ocean are fantastic and the horses were great. Our guides were very friendly and informative. Third time riding horses on Maui, all different companies, and this was easily the best.

Ultimate tour on Maui

Vanessa_B, May 2024

This tour was incredible. I loved meeting my horse for the journey, Gold, along with all the other horses. The guides were great, gave us plenty of instructions and ensured we understood and always felt comfortable. The journey itself was beautiful, so many amazing views of the mountains and ocean. It was such a worthwhile tour that I’d recommend to anyone to participate in.

Fabulous experience!

Tiffany_F, Apr 2024

Beautiful scenery with guides who made sure we were all comfortable on our horses. They did a great job of matching horses with us based on our riding expertise. I would highly recommend this excursion!

Horseback heaven

Dave_S, Apr 2024

The views going up the trails and reaching the top were incredible. The horses for the most part were very well mannered and made the trip easy and it is always fun when you get to run the horses.

Great ride with great people.

Bert_P, Apr 2024

Had a wonderful time riding with a great crew of people. Got to ride through beautiful country on good horses with fun new friends.

I can now say that I have rode on a horse

Joe_N, Apr 2024

My wife and I went on this tour with our 7 year old daughter. I think the last time I was on a horse was when I was riding a pony in pre k so to say I was a beginner was an understatement. However, they were very good at teaching us what to do and how to steer. It was a fun time and a great way to see some excellent views of Maui and take some great pictures. Highly recommend this activity if you want to make some memories on your trip!

Best Activity on Maui!

Mercedes_S, Apr 2024

Wonderful staff with a ton of farm animals to interact with and a beautiful trail ride. I brought my 9 year old and 7 year old with me, and I felt very comfortable with their well trained horses.

The best one yet

CassieJorge, Apr 2024

I've been on horseback tours all over and this was my favorite yet. They matched me with the perfect horse that didn't bore me the whole time. Was a beautiful view and would do it again. Definitely the best riding tour on the island. I've done the others in maui. Choose this one!

The excitement of horseback riding

Aaron_J, Mar 2024

Love the chance to run the horse. Most places don’t allow that. Really appreciated Colt taking the time to explain what to do when you run a horse for the best results. I felt so much more in control. Best trip ever!!

Great tour, great guides, great fun.

Ziv_B, Mar 2024

The staff was friendly, helpful and fun. They took care of the two kiddos as this was their first time on horseback. Great views, good trek and highly recommended.

Two thumbs up!

Jennifer_F, Mar 2024

Such a fun experience! The tour guides were personable and took good care of their riders and horses. Beautiful ride with spots to stop and take photos. Also so fun that they let you canter at the end.

The guides were helpful...

Paula_P, Mar 2024

The guides were helpful and knowledgeable. They did a great job matching us up with our horses and the trails were very scenic. The opportunity to run with the horses was an experience that was exciting and a nice ending to the ride. Overall, an experience we would recommend.

The best horseback riding tour!!!

Sandi_M, Mar 2024

The crew at West Maui Mountain and Ocean Tours were fantastic! I highly recommend this tour. They had 3 riders with our group at all times and helped with less experienced riders such as myself! The views and the history provided were sensational! The horses were beautiful (a little muddy that day as it rains lightly a lot in the mountains. The farm where the tour starts/ends is so fun with pigs, chickens, cats, peacocks, goats, and sheep. They provide water and a saddle bag to hold your camera/car keys; otherwise don’t bring it as you are weighed with your saddlebag. Were blue jeans and old tennis shoes or boots as it can be muddy/rain/poop. They provide ponchos for the light rain and we used ours to put our shoes on in the rental car (!!!), so bring flip flops or other shoes to change afterwards. The tour team is polite and knowledgeable but make no mistake they love their horses (and other animals) more; so be respectful! Overall 10/10❣️

Best experience ever!

Tracy_W, Mar 2024

This experience exceeded my expectations! Absolutely must do. The guides were great and the views were out of this world.

Best horseback riding...

Brianna_B, Mar 2024

Best horseback riding experience I’ve had on vacation. I feel like trail rides never let you run your horse so that was definitely the best part of this ride.

The best day in Maui!

Donna_O, Mar 2024

We had an amazing day! We will never forget this wonderful adventure! The guides and staff went over the top to keep everyone safe, and respectfully teach each person how to safely ride a horse. The trail ride was beautiful! We rode up and down the mountain and along the ocean side! I would highly recommend this experience to experienced and first time riders. The staff matches you up with a perfect horse. They provided a day that you will never forget! Donna

We had a great time

Dawn_W, Mar 2024

We just had a great time! Well worth it! I don’t like that I HAVE to put 100 characters in this review, so this is filler

Totally recommend

Bea_S, Mar 2024

We had a great time! We rode the ATV's and our guide Brandon was awesome! We totally recommend as the views were stunning.

Gail_T, Feb 2024
