Would highly recommend this place. Family friendly adventure awaits. Don't miss the opportunity to see a side of Maui rarely seen.

All the guides are amazing. They match you up with a horse that fits your experience. They are super strict on the 215 weight limit. We had Sierra and maybe Cole (don't remember the name) as our tour guides. They connected well with us and shared their own personal experiences. The animals on the farm were well cared for and trained. The horses are only allowed to go on one tour a day which is better compared to some companies. Bring sunglasses and shoes you don't care about because you will be covered in dust!

Riley and Stetson rock! I did the ATV tour while my girlfriend did the horse tour, you get to ride real trails and open it up a bit if you're feeling confident or have ridden atvs/moto before. The views were sick and they gave good explainers at the culture of Maui and what we were looking at. Expect some dust and some real off road trails with rocks and ruts. The drive in is fine, we did it in a mustang and had no issues.

Maui Mountain Activities was worth every single penny and an absolute dream experience--one that my entire family loved from start to finish! If you're looking for a breathtaking horseback ride with unforgettable views, this is it. My party of 7 had age ranges of 14-54 and this adventure had something for everyone. The two hour ride took us through lush green landscapes, rolling hills, and eventually opened up to a stunning coastal view that felt straight out of a movie. The guides were incredibly kind, patient, and made sure everyone--from first-timers to experienced riders--felt comfortable. The horses were well-trained and well-cared for, and they matched each rider with a horse that fit their experience level. This included those who were very nervous around the horses--I thought it was fantastic that they made sure to ask that question! There were two in our party who started out nervous but they didn't end that way. It was relaxing, scenic, and just the right amount of adventure. One important note: the weight limit is strictly enforced, and they will weigh you upon arrival for the safety of their horses navigating up and down the mountains. And I see why! These horses were carrying a lot on their backs down some pretty steep trails. There were so many other cool animals on the ranch as well--peacocks, pigs, I counted at least 13 cats, sheep and goats. By the end, my whole family was raving about how much fun we had. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I would 100% do it again.

This was truly an incredible experience. The horses are very well trained and the staff is awsome. Would recommend this to anyone!! Amazing views!

Horseback ride to the top on a hill with the most breathtaking views!

We had Kai and Cierra as our guides for this horseback ride and they were so friendly, kind and professional. They made us feel so safe and comfortable on our horses. Constantly checking on us to make sure our saddles and stir-ups were comfortable. They were also kind enough to recommend some good restaurants on the island which we tried and loved. They also took great photos! Will definitely be booking them again on our next trip!

Mountain waterfall

First off was the drive- we were staying in Wailea and had about a 40 minute drive to the meetup location. We had to go back by the airport and then go up into the hills- GREAT drive- enjoy the scenery and give yourself an extra 10 minutes to look around. The ATVs were on a family farm and there were horses and pigs- kinda funny watching the pigs interact with the horses. The ATVs were great- be prepared for using some arms muscles at times when the trails get really bumpy- don't feel bad if you go slowly as they'll separate the experienced riders. BEAUTIFUL mountain waterfall views- mesmerizing and pristine. Ocean views were also incredible and take some time to just hang and look around.....trails were really fun and this was more fun than surfing lessons and fishing charter....YOU WILL GET DIRTY- it did come out in the wash tho...

We were there today and went horseback riding. Holy cow, what an experience. The entire staff was awesome. Our guides, Cole and Cierra, were amazing. Amazing views, learned some Maui history, got to pet some cats, goats, sheep, deer. By far, one of my best experiences. Much love to Cliff and Grandpa Joe!!

Ocean stop

Wow. The views, the animals! Loved the animals. Pet a deer, even stole a kiss! Horses. Goats. Sheep. Pigs. Peacocks. Chickens. Cats. Lots of cats. Driving the ATV was great fun. Went all the way up to the sacred burial ground where kings and queens were buried. So gorgeous. Then all the way down to the ocean. Sarah was great and knowledgeable. Great fun. Either buy a face mask or bring one. It's so dusty!!! You will get very dirty!!!! Have fun! Awesome experience!

Sacred Mountains

we had an absolute blast on our trail ride with Cole and Kai. they were awesome, the views were gorgeous and it was well worth what we paid for it! an experience to remember and absolutely come back for. i really appreciated that they let me ride a guide's horse because they didn't want to put me on a beginner horse with my riding experience and it made the experience that much more special. they took great care of their horses and you can really tell they love what they do. thank you guys so much! will be back next time we get the blessing to be on Maui and don't forget to give Oinky Boinky some gooood belly rubs!!!

Was an exciting and fun filled time, especially the "free for all" runs! Beautiful views and history of the island provided by our guides was a nice touch. Will return next visit to Maui...

Freddie G.

This is a must for people who love the outdoors and want so see Maui. Our guides were awesome and they gave a great tour of the mountains and the sea as well as a quick bite of some lilikoi they had on the ranch. Cool animals to hang with at the ranch as well. Can't wait to try the horseback tour.

View from a stopping point

Loved the atv and utv ride. Stetson and Stella were great guides and drivers. So beautiful and Stetson knows all about the history and legends. Really enjoyed this excursion.

We took the most amazing photos you could imagine. The staff was welcoming and made me feel safe. As a beginning rider, I felt completely safe and they were amazing to the younger kids on the ride as-well. I would definitely go back to Maui just to go to Circle M Ranch.

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!

You won't be going fast at any point and you will need to reign your horse in constantly to keep it from stopping to pluck at plants the horse wants to munch on, but the monumental views and still countryside will make it all worth it. The trail was very clean so the one abandoned rusty tire near the end should probably be removed. Ray is an expert equestrian and has interesting stories and jokes to tell all along the way. Eddie is very personable and handles the admin of the ranch along with, as both Ray and Eddie like to joke, the weather. One thing that was little annoying was that as we were driving away Eddie approached us and rapped on our car window asking if we had remembered to take care of Ray. We did, she went back and gave Ray a tip, but we didn't have any cash or wallets with us during the ride because we were told that whatever we brought would have to go in the saddlebags anyway. We likened this rapping on the window as we were about to drive off to a waiter coming out in the parking lot to ask if we forgot to tip, or a valet rapping on the window as we were driving off to ask for the same. Eddie could have earned that tip for Ray if he had guided us out of the parking lot - we ended up scraping the rear bumper on the lava rocks that are directly behind where the cars line up to park.

I don't like to ride horses, but I was convinced by my own instincts to make this a special trip…read morefor my daughter and visiting friends, so I swallowed my fears and agreed to go. I am glad I did. This is a family-owned and locally-owned working ranch. Mr. Thompson was kind and explained during the five minute instructional period which end of the horse was the front end and which was the back end. :) He also offered helmets, which we declined. The trail rides are only a part of his ranch businesses, so the tour is less touristy and more cruising. There was minimal talking on the trail and that actually allowed me to enjoy the scenery more. The bi-coastal views were breathtaking as we rode their well-trained, stable and calm horses up a very rocky and steep trail to a private cabin. We were surrounded by a crown of clouds and the cool air helped us to enjoy the ride even more. I didn't need a jacket at all. The cabin had an overgrown garden, bottled water, packaged treats and the chance to use a flush toilet (yay! so precious!). We sat for a little while, resting our (my) weary knees. The first half of the ride was about a half hour. We enjoyed Mr. Thompson's gentle humor and his description of how he takes care of his land and his animals. He has cattle, goats alongside wild deer on his pastures. The second half of the ride to return to our starting point was about the same amount of time and a bit more gentle, as the horses didn't follow the same steep, hilly trail. Those horses know where they want to go. My horse had her own mind about things. She didn't quite follow the same trail but she chose her steps carefully around the deep holes and slick rocks. She might have suspected she had an anxious rider. I think I bored her. She kept huffing and stopping to eat more often than the other horses did, I felt. She also passed a lot of gas which compelled me to say, "excuse me", every time. We had a choice between this idea and a sunset ride in Makena and I am glad we chose this one instead. The bi-coastal views are unique to Maui and the cool air upcountry helped use to enjoy what may have been a very hot ride. Sunset rides or beach rides can be had anywhere else easily; these upcountry views of Maui's landscape are difficult to find anywhere else. If you take a photo with that view in the background, whoever sees it will say, "That's Maui!"

Toni and Andy are AWESOME. Such a beautiful ride and the horses couldn't have been more patient…read morewith novice riders. I can't wait to do it again!

Ask for Liz a skilled, beautiful and wonderfully calm wrangler! Morning, afternoon or sunset rides are all equally wonderful!

I've been in my paniolo era and had Paniolo Adventures on my bucket list for a while ever since I…read moresaw some stunning photos on social media. I gotta say, the experience lived up to the hype. I'm already wanting to plan another trip to go again! First off, the area is absolutely stunning. Ocean views from the mountain with cows, pigs, and other amazing wildlife all around. On the day we went, we had clear views of Haleakala on Maui. The most beautiful experience ever. Period. The time that you sign up for is the check-in time. We signed up for their afternoon ride, so we arrived at 1pm. That time has check-in and getting ready time built in (vs. having to show up 30 mins before). You do have to sign an online waiver ahead of time and then they also have a waiver that you sign on-site. I actually opted to not wear a helmet and was able to do that after checking a certain box on the waiver. The cool thing about this spot is that they have cowboy boots of all sizes that you can borrow for your ride. I obviously came with my own boots, but my boyfriend was able to find a pair in his size. In their check-in area they also have a bathroom and water for purchase or a refill station. The staff are so knowledgeable of the area and safety plus overall just so charismatic --making the ride and overall experience so much fun.
