Kula Lani Ranch 2854 Omaopio Road, Kula, HI 96790

"Mauri our guide (and the Owner of the Ranch) was so welcoming when we first showed up. Our ride was scheduled for 8 but we got started at around 8:30. We got to learn about the horses’ personalities while he saddled them up. I brushed them and they were all very sweet. We rode through thick grasses and the horses are very well trained. They would trot to catch up with the others but if you just stay relaxed it is far from nerve wracking. We stopped at a beautiful view where Mauri talked about the history of the land. Then we went up and down hills back to the ranch, where the horses began trotting because they were so thirsty. We let them drink water then headed back to their stable. Mauri was very sweet and the best part was that it was a private ride! We felt very special and that the ride was catered to us. You can go at your own pace and let Mauri know how experienced you are. Would highly recommend to anyone and the drive up to the ranch was beautiful in and of itself."

"Excellent private ride for my almost 8 year old daughter and myself. My daughter is an inexperienced rider and Mauri gave her clear instructions and made her comfortable on her horse. The ride itself was beautiful, going through trails and underbrush with views of thebocean and mountains in the distance. We did a beginner ride, but he will tailor it for more experienced riders. Truly a unique experience to have such a small group on a ride and hear about the island from someone who lives there. The horses are well cared for and friendly, you can tell Mauri loves his animals!"

"Mauri was amazing! He was unbelievably accommodating and kind. He gave real, kid-friendly feedback. My 5 year old and I had a blast and learned a lot about riding and about the area. He even stayed out with us after it started to rain. It's clear he loves his work. The horses are well-cared for. One of the major highlights of our trip- I would definitely recommend it to a friend!"

"Mauri was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable of the area and his horses. He picked the perfect horse for me and my wife. The trail through the pineapple fields was fun and the views of Maui were spectacular!!! Horses and Maui are his passion and it shows in the riding experience for his guests."
