The morning tour took us through La Perouse Bay and up the hill to the "oven" crater. The horses were well-kept and tame, and the guides were very patient, knowledgeable and professional. I've only rode once and was relatively nervous, but the guides were helpful and patient in instructing and giving riding tips.

This was an awesome ride! It was such a beautiful ride and day out! I loved it, it was so much fun! I can't wait till the next trip back to Maui to go again.

Took the sunset tour with my family of six on May 31. Christine was our guide. She and the trip were sensational. We've taken other horseback rides on the Islands and this was by far the best.
