“Great little tour. Very informative. I would give 5 stars but the guide pretty much asked for a 15.00 tip.”
Ride Maui’s winding Road to Hana in a van limited to 13 people, with guides such as Bryan, Chase, Eric, and Shelley sharing island lore. Stop at Ho’okipa, Ke‘anae, Pua‘a Ka‘a Falls, Wai‘anapanapa’s black sand beach, and Hana Farms for pizza, salad, and drinks.
“We had an amazing experience with Brian. He was very knowledgeable about the island’s history and explained the details of the agriculture surrounding the island. Lunch was incredibly delicious. Brian even made a few stops to greet the farm animals on the way up to Hana. This indeed was a memorable day for my wife and I. We recommend this company to anyone interested in booking a Road to Hana excursion!”
Ride from Circle M Ranch with Hawaiian paniolos who match you with a suitable horse and guide you through pastures, taro patches, plantation homes, and Waihee Valley. Expect 45 minutes of instruction and mounting, followed by a 1.5-hour ride with ocean views and photo stops. Beginners are welcome.
“Greeted with a smile. Instructions were thorough before the ride and on the trail. Horses were well suited to each of our skill levels - from a few rides in a lifetime’s to a weekly rider. Trail views are amazing - lush and out to the ocean. Love all the other animals on premises - cow, pig, sheep, chickens, peacocks!”

Even offered to bring out chicken tenders and fries for our younger kiddos! Our whole family really enjoyed the music and entertainment, they even had “tattoo” stamp station and a complimentary photographer. This was the 3rd luau I’ve been to and was by far the best!”
