The staff made us feel so welcome. I was nervous about riding. Butch was our guide and he really went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire ride. He took a lot of pics for us and had a wonderful sense of humor. I will go back again for sure!

乗馬ツアー ワイへエ渓谷を巡り、ハレアカラ山頂も望む<午前・午後/英語ガイド>

A fairly intense and content-rich two-hour course! 結構ハードな内容充実の2時間コース!

Reviewed by: まこ

There are ups and downs, but the view of the coastline of Kafului when going down is wonderful. Along the way, a cowboy-style guide picks guava and passion fruit for us and takes commemorative photos at the summit and the coast. The horse tends to stop and graze, making it difficult to control, but it navigates well. It's an active itinerary with a total riding time of about two hours. After getting off the horse, everyone bursts into laughter at the sight of each other with bow-legged stances and tanned skin. Be sure to prepare a change of clothes, as your outfit will get dirty, and don't forget to take care of your throat and nose! Driving on the winding road with a rental car is not covered by insurance, so do so at your own risk.

 アップダウンがありますが、下りるときのカフルイの海岸線の眺めがすばらしいです。途中、カウボーイスタイルのガイドさんが、グァバとパッションフルーツを採ってくれたり、頂上と海岸で記念撮影をしてくれます。馬は、すぐ道草してしまい、なかなかいうことを聞いてくれませんが、上手にナビゲートしてくれます。乗馬時間正味2時間のアクティブな行程です。馬を降りた後、ガニ股でガングロ姿に、参加者全員大爆笑です。服がダート染めになってしまいますので、着替えの用意と喉と鼻の中のケアをお忘れなく!
ワインディングロード部分のレンタカーでの走行は、保険の適用外ですので自己責任で。

Beware of dust. 砂埃に注意

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I had a very fulfilling horseback riding experience from the mountain to the coast. In the end, I even got to try running.

The trail is a dry red dirt road, so the dust is quite something. By the end, everything from my hair to my clothes and even inside my nose turns brown. It's a good idea to wear a hat and sunglasses, and if possible, cover your face with a bandana or something... But while riding, the scenery is so beautiful that you won't mind at all, and I think it was a truly wonderful experience.

I recommend this over the horseback riding at a certain ranch in Kapalua. For those participating in the morning, there is a school just before the location, and the road can get congested, so I think it's better to arrive early.

山の上から海岸まで、とても充実した乗馬が楽しめました。最後には、走ることまで体験できました。
行路は、赤土の乾いた道なので、砂埃がすごいです。終わってみると、髪の毛から着るもの、鼻の穴の中までまっ茶色になります。帽子、サングラス、できれば顔をバンダナかなんかで覆っておいた方がいいかも・・・でも、乗馬している間はそんなことは気にならないくらい景色はいいし、とっても素晴らしい体験ができたと思います。
カパルアの方にある某ランチの乗馬より、こっちの方がお勧めです。午前中に参加する方は、現地の少し手前に学校があり、道路が渋滞するので早めに行った方がいいと思います。

Fantastic horseriding experience

Reviewed by: adrian

My 13 year old grandson found this activity on the Internet and chose it for our trip to Maui. Both he and I, a 69 year old guy, were beginners. The guides were fantastic, the horses great, and the trail near the top of a mountain and descending to a beautiful beach, were outstanding!

Great trail ride

Reviewed by: Bob and Cathy

My wife and I had a great time at the ranch.

The check in was straight forward and the waiting area was clean with friendly staff.

The lunch was great and the cook was very friendly.

I had Cowboy and my wife had Baily and they were great horses.

Butch and the other wrangler (can't remember his name) were friendly and knowledgeable.

We would recommend the Mendes Ranch to anyone who wants to have great trail ride while in Maui.

Excellent Guide, views, & BBQ

Reviewed by: Patrick & Jessica Nygaard

Our guide "Frenchie" was very funny, entertaining, and courteous. He certainly made the 2 hour horseback ride enjoyable. We were taken to some locations that offered amazing views of both the mountains and the ocean. In addition, the BBQ lunch that was provided was excellent as well. Overall, it was a very good experience, and one that we would recommend to others.

Our trip to the islands

The 4 of us had a ball at the ranch. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Frenchi and Butch were great with us. Also liked the way riders were paired to the horses. Had my 50th birthday on your island and at the end of the ride I was the last to dismount due to friends signing Happy Birthday to me. Was a BIG highlight of our trip. Thanks again.

Excellent Scenery & Value

Reviewed by: den

The 2-hour excursion with lunch was outstanding. The scenery of the entire East side of Maui, from Haleakala through Kahului to the three waterfalls of Mt. Eke was breathtaking. The opportunity for the horses to trot & gallop was a pleasant surprise that I was not expecting. The Paniolo lunch of barbecue chicken & ribs was very delicious.

Thanks for the experience!!!

Fun with Rocky, Butch, & Frenchi!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Mendes staff, Rocky, Butch, and Frenchi were wonderful--so friendly and helpful! These folks made the experience even more fun and enjoyable. The views during the ride are spectacular. Plus, the guides provide interesting information at the two photo opportunity stops; the information and the photo ops are quite thoughtful. I've been on three other horserides on different islands, and this one is my favorite because of Rocky, Butch, and Frenchi, and the views. The BBQ lunch is also very tasty and much enjoyed after a beautiful ride.

My daughter was also very happy. We enjoyed horseback riding. 娘も大喜び。乗馬楽しませていただきました。

Reviewed by: naokomama

I joined this tour based on my suggestion that horseback riding would be a great way to connect with nature, something we don't usually get to do.

My child just turned eight, which is the perfect age for horseback riding, so I hoped it would be a good experience as we headed to the ranch. It was my daughter's first time seeing a real horse, and she was quite excited. The horseback riding was relaxed and felt like a leisurely stroll, making it perfect for her, and it was really wonderful.

I'm truly glad we could have this kind of interaction with nature and animals during our trip to Maui.

Thank you for providing us with this valuable experience.

普段できない自然との触れ合いには、乗馬がいいのでは?っという私の提案からこのツアーに参加させてもらいました。

子供もちょうど8歳になり、乗馬できる年齢だったので良い体験になればと思い向かった牧場。本物の馬を見るのがはじめての娘は興奮気味。
ゆったりとお散歩感覚での乗馬だったので、娘にもぴったりですごくよかったです。
こういう自然や動物との触れ合いが、マウイ島旅行の間にできて本当によかったです。

貴重な体験をさせていただき、有難うございます。

Solo travel~ 一人旅~

Reviewed by: bububunobu

Since I'm traveling alone, I wanted to spend some relaxing time, and I found horseback riding at Mendes Ranch. The scenery of Maui Island while gently swaying on the horse is truly wonderful. This kind of leisurely horseback riding is perfect for solo travelers.

一人旅なんで、まったりとした時間を過ごしたいなって思って見つけたのが、このメンデス牧場での乗馬。
馬にまたがって、ぽっかぽっかと揺られながら見るマウイ島の景色は、また良いもんですね。
こういうゆったりとした時間を過ごせる乗馬は、一人旅にもってこいです。

Horseback riding is great, isn't it? 乗馬っていいもんですね。

Reviewed by: keichan

I hadn't gone horseback riding since I did it a few times as a child, but since I came to beautiful nature-filled Hawaii this time, I decided to give it a try.

Riding slowly and leisurely on a horse is wonderful. It allows you to forget about everyday life, breathe in the delicious Hawaiian air, and feel the grandeur of nature. It was a valuable experience.

I think I might want to go horseback riding again when I want to enjoy some slow time.

乗馬って、子供の頃に数回いったっきり、それから全然行ってなかったんですけど、今回せっかく自然のきれいなハワイに来たんだからってことで、乗馬体験してみました。

馬にまあがってゆ~~っくりのんびりとできる散歩いいですね。日常のことを忘れて、ハワイのおいしい空気を吸って、雄大な大自然を感じる。貴重な体験をさせてもらいました。

またゆ~っくりした時間がほしいときには、乗馬をしようかなって思ってます。

Reviewed by: miyachan

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, and I've been to Maui seven times. I love Maui, and I’m currently a 53-year-old lady. Since my third trip, I've enjoyed horseback riding. This time, I visited Mendes Ranch for the first time, and I think it was the best ranch I've been to so far. The difference from other ranches is, without a doubt, the amazing views. It's a shame I can't show you photos because I'm not good with computers. You don't need to worry at all if you can't speak English. The staff at the ranch are very kind and teach us how to ride in a way that we can understand, even without English. The food was also very delicious; we had barbecue beef and chicken. I had never seen Mendes Ranch mentioned in Japanese guidebooks, but it was far more wonderful than the other ranches listed in guidebooks. Since there was no shuttle service, we used a rental car to get there. I found the location a bit tricky to navigate, but if you allow enough time, I think it won't be a problem. The horses are well-trained, so there are no safety issues, and even complete beginners will be fine. You can see all the beautiful sea, mountains, and valleys of Maui. I highly recommend this activity. My husband and I participated together, and on another day, my newlywed daughter and her husband joined, and they were thrilled, saying it was a wonderful honeymoon.

8度目のハワイ旅行。その内の7回はマウイです。マウイ大好きの私、現在、53歳のオバチャンです。3度目の旅行から、乗馬を楽しんできました。今回参加したメンデス牧場は初めて訪れたのですが、今まで参加した牧場の中で、一番素晴らしいと思いました。他の牧場との相違は、なんと言っても、眺めの素晴らしさです。パソコンが苦手で写真をお見せできないのが残念です。英語が話せなくても、全く心配はいりません。牧場の人も大変親切で、英語のできない私たちにもわかるように、乗り方を教えてくださいます。また、食事も、とっても美味しく、ビーフとチキンのバーベキューでした。日本のガイドブックでは掲載されてるのを見たことのなかったメンデス牧場ですが、ガイドブックに掲載されている他の牧場とは、比較にならないくらい素晴らしかったです。送迎がないので、レンタカーを利用して行きました。少し地理的に分かりにくく感じたのですが、時間的に余裕をもって行けば、問題ないと思います。また、馬がよく調教されていますので、安全面でも問題ないし、全くの初心者であっても大丈夫です。マウイの美しい海、山、渓谷すべて見ることができます。是非、お薦めしたいアクティビティです。私は夫と二人で参加、別の日に新婚の娘夫婦が参加したのですが、娘たちは、素晴らしいハネムーンになったと喜んでいました。

Maui is the best! マウイ最高!

Reviewed by: ヘチマベイビー

It was a wonderful place filled with greenery! Since there are many steep slopes, the horseback riding tour is not only less burdensome but also incredibly fun!

At one point, I closed my eyes and imagined the everyday scenes of Japan, and when I opened my eyes again, the view was nothing short of breathtaking!

At various points, the horses stopped properly, allowing us to enjoy the scenery. I had a hard time finding horseback riding activities on Maui, but I'm glad I participated!

Experiencing the natural scenery through horseback riding is highly recommended! ☆

みどり溢れるすばらしい場所でした!
急な勾配だらけなので、馬に乗ってのツアーは負担が少ないうえ、なによりも楽しい!

途中でふと日本の日常の光景を思い浮かべて目をつむってみて、ふたたび目を開けたときの光景は感動的という以外のなにものでもありませんでした!

ポイントポイントではちゃんと馬も止まって、その景色を楽しむことが出来ました。マウイ島で乗馬のアクティビティがなかなか見つけられなかったのですが、参加できてよかったです!

自然の光景を乗馬でさらに体感できるなんて、お薦めです☆

Nice Experience

Reviewed by: Val

We had a nice ride and the horses were matched up with our weight, age, and skill level as stated. This was my third time riding in 20 years and I went as a beginner and did well. I was concerned that I was a pre-pre-pre beginner. Yet I survived and have 3 nice pictures and some good memories of the trail. We had 2 tour guides and my regret is that I wished I'd given more beside $10 for a tip since they were watching my back so to speak :)
