Horseback Riding on Maui
($70.90 - $296.90)
Maui has thousands of acres of ranchland for your Maui horseback ride. You can also ride horseback into the Crater.
Maui horseback riding stables and working ranches are located from Kapalua in West Maui to Makena in South Maui and from Waihee Valley in Central Maui to Hana. All horseback riding companies will want to know your level of experience so you can be matched up with a horse that will be appropriate. If you're a beginner, don't worry, we've seen your kind before. If you're a veteran equestrian we have rides that are a bit more challenging.
Maui horseback rides will take you:
- Horseback riding through a tropical rain forest
- Into the crater of Haleakala (like riding on the moon)
- Up into the Hana highlands near the famous Oheo Gulch for a jungle horseback ride
- Onto the ranch lands high above the central valley, with views galore
- Horseback riding through Eucalyptus forests and meadowlands
- From the beach at Makena up the slopes toward Ulupalakua
Some horseback riding considerations
- Maui Horseback riding tours all have restrictions about children but the ages allowed will vary from usually a minimum of age 6 to age 12 and under certain circumstances younger ones can even ride. Let us know if you have little guys wanting to ride horseback; we'll try to accommodate them.
- Horseback rides range from a couple of hours to all day. Let us know how much time you'd like to spend on this activity and we'll help you plan accordingly.
Tom's Tips - Maui Horseback Riding
- Prepare at home before you come for your Maui horseback ride. Long pants and closed-toe shoes should be packed next to your bathing suit and thongs. You can leave your chaps and spurs at home.
- Ask us which horseback riding companies will allow you to trot and canter.
- Horseback riding into the crater of Haleakala is a lot easier than walking in on a hike.
