They also provide a small bag for your belongings that hooks onto the saddle, cold water bottles, and sunscreen prior to the ride. They have an area with old cowboy boots and hats that you can borrow for the ride too! During the ride, my horse occasionally got side tracked and pulled away to sneak a few bites of grass and tree leaves (don't blame him whatsoever for wanting to snack!), but Don was really patient and always helped me with redirecting him. As a whole, the horses were all well trained and knew the route, which made for a comfortable ride. The views were unreal and Don was very knowledgeable on paniolo history. They also have a great shop with lots of reasonably priced items that are good quality. Would 100% come back for another horseback ride with them the next time I return to Maui. Thanks Circle M!

The guides were informative and so pleasant to talk to. They made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the ride.

Loved my experience with my horse, Shadow! I had only ridden a horse once in my life, about 30…read moreyears ago, so I was a bit nervous at first. The horses are well trained and super chill, and I felt comfortable very quickly. Our guide, Lewis (I hope I remembered his name correctly--the 18-year-old bull rider!), was a joy. He kept an eye on all of us, told some fun stories along the way, and made sure the ride moved at a comfortable pace. You can tell the ranch is a great environment for the animals, and the views are amazing. We were there on a Monday, so we weren't able to try a Bully Burger, but I'm sure they're delicious too! I would absolutely recommend this ride for both experienced and beginning riders.

Biggest downfall, all the hiking. It was straight up the mountain on this goat trail. Footing could be dangerous If you don't have good shoes, balance and pay attention. They give you a water bottle full to keep ( however not in the least bit cold). If you aren't in att least half way decent shape this adventure probably is not for you. It is a lot of physical work. Be prepared to sweat and breathe hard and carry yourself and that 10 pound trolley up the dang mountain with very little to no shade. The guys doing the actual Zipping with us were awesome! Fun and friendly! The guy at the start, when you check in and pay... let's just say he's a grump. Maybe he had a bad day, but we found his to be grumpy and just honestly rude. It's like he hates his job. Would Recommend and go again for sure!

THE GOODS: Beef Jerky - $10.95 A shiny, gold bag caught my eye in the stack of snacks at my mom's house. What differentiates this 30 oz. package of jerky from the rest of the world, IMO, is the size of their jerky. You're usually treated to thin slices of chewy meat or even razor thin crisps. Not here. Actual filets of steak are marinated, dried and sliced into thick, tender strips of jerky goodness, savory and sweet with a hint of pepper. I mean, just take a look at my photo! Who does that?! Highly recommended. OVERALL: No antibiotics, added hormones, MSG, artificial ingredients or preservatives.

You can tell he truly loves nature, and his passion made the experience even more special. What really stood out was how attentive and considerate he was.

Throughout the day, he made sure everyone was safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Seeing several beautiful waterfalls with such a thoughtful guide made it a day we won't forget. If you're planning a tour in Maui, I highly recommend booking with Enrique. Mahalo, Enrique!

She has a big heart and a crazy love for this island. We've lived on Maui for a couple years and she taught us some cool stuff that we didn't know. We hopped in her big van and had a fun tour to: -Ocean Vodka -Surfing Goat Dairy -Ali'i Lavander Farm -Ulupalaku Ranch + Maui wine And along the way she handed out fresh banana bread (that SHE baked!) and cold bottles of water (say what? So thoughtful!) As we drove, she would point out things like: the kinds of trees we were seeing, the history of this or that, how things had changed over the years... Interesting things that kept the conversation flowing. Her van has a microphone for her to use so it's great for people who sit in the back. We could hear everything she was saying. She made sure to open doors for guests and make sure the temperature inside the van was okay for everyone. There are different tours to choose from to hone in on where you want to go and what you want to see. She really knows her stuff and made us smile and laugh with her bubbly personality and energy. She caters to her guests and made us feel like her 'ohana. Thank you so much Marilyn! We had so much fun.

Prior to the pick up, Marilyn was always available via phone if I had questions about planning the logisitics and I found her to be very sweet and kind over the phone. As soon as Marilyn greeted me at the pick up, I knew I was in for a real treat. She has this magnetic energy and passion. She knows how to connect with people and make them feel comfortable. I was traveling alone and joined a group of others wonderful tourists that were part of the tour. Marilyn and Robbie were well versed in their knowledge of the history of the culture, agriculture and plants. The tour included stops at the lovely Lavender garden, Maui winery, and the Surfing Goat Dairy. Their timing was spot. One of the highlights of the tour was the lunch. It was in a lovely park, tucked away in a hillside, overlooking Maui, It was a perfect day. The real treat was when Marilyn pulled out her Ukulele and started singing lovely songs - one of which was "Somewhere over the rainbow". It was delightful. The tour ended with the other tourists departing at the airport. This was not just an ordinary curbside drop-off. Marilyn actually accompanied them to the check in counter and helped them get their bags through. This is not something that an ordinary tour company would do. I remained in the van and chatted with the delightful Robbie. I cannot thank Maui Country Farm Tours for such a memorable experience. It was truly one of the highlights of my trip, and I could not have done the trip alone. Marilyn has contacts and knows the inside scoop on how these various businesses operate. Please consider her tour as an option for you to see the back country of beautiful Maui. You will thank yourself and you will make a friend or two.

How do I get a marriage license? Who is the best photographer? Simple Oahu Wedding handled it all for me! They have several packages to choose from and held my hand through the entire process - even explaining how to apply for the marriage license and where to pick it up once we got to Oahu. They even gave me a list of vendors for hair, makeup, travel agency, and suggestions for a nice dinner after our elopement. A few days before the elopement we had a phone call and they answered all of my questions and sent me directions to our beach. On the day of our elopement, our coordinator Christine was so helpful: holding my purse, multiple umbrellas and anything else we needed. The photographer Mike from Karma Hill was laid back and brilliantly captured the day despite the rain. Our Officiant John was fantastic and held a ceremony that was short and sweet. (They even knew him at the marriage license office in Honolulu.) If you're going to have a destination wedding on Oahu, I highly recommend Simple Oahu Weddings!

We stopped for breakfast at the Plantation House. The breakfast and service were wonderful there. However, I made the mistake of having two glasses of iced tea. By the time we made to Lee's gallery I was ready for a break. I was in a hurry to get in to the building to use their facilities. As I entered the restroom, the gallery host/cashier ran towards me screaming "You can't use the bathroom unless you buy something first!" I fully intended to make a purchase as we have purchased many items in the past however, when you gotta go, you gotta go. She was extremely rude to everyone in our party. We made a few small purchases, more out of guilt than anything that we needed. We were not able to enjoy the art or any of the items on display. We left in a hurry while the lady was still yelling at us and being rude. What is her problem??? Maybe the owner doesn't know that she has a bathroom bouncer working in her gallery. Or perhaps a better idea is to put a porta-potty on her property if they're that touchy about who goes into their toilet. No Lokomaikaʻi there.
