    Cowgirls from the get go
    The Dude A.

    Amazing experience, such magical slice of heaven in upcountry. Our 4 and 7 year old girls were treated as cow girls, and loved every second. We drove from Napili and would go every day if we cod have. Best part of our trip. Girls still talk about Dodger and Jimmy every day. Will be back!

    Brownie!

    Took our 4yo toddler to ride a pony with Melissa. It was a bit of a drive to get here from where we were staying in kanapali, but completely worth it. She was very engaging and patient with my toddler and answered the endless stream of questions my little one kept coming up with. The horses seemed well cared for and we even saw a week old baby pony. Would definitely recommend!

    We had an amazing experience at Maui ponies. We came to Maui for a vacation and we looked very where for a place for our toddler to ride a pony and found this place and had a wonderful time. The horses were beautiful and friendly and the staff was amazing! Can't recommend enough if you have young kids!

    Such an awesome place for little kids. We came here to celebrate my son's 5th birthday! Everyone was so friendly and hands on. I would recommend this place and come back here. We all got a chance to ride. Melissa was very responsive and accommodating.

She was so excited as she had never seen an alpaca in real life before, and suddenly she was hands on feeding babies and moms!! She was soooo excited! So, many thanks to Padma who made our experience so special, and Sassy Girl, Lola and the other alpaca friends we made, and Snow White the bunny and her fluffy pals too. Padma showed us how to refine the fleece and spin it and we had a go at carding too, and she answered all my questions with ease. It was fascinating to find out more about alpaca....did you know they only give birth during the day, usually in the morning ? Easy to book online, especially with Kamaaina rates being honored, easy to find even though you are venturing into someone's driveway, park and walk a few steps to the alpaca so good for children and elderly/disabled, a small gift shop selling beautiful gifts is right there, compact, cute and incredibly fun. Perfect birthday present for a 10 yr old girl ;)

    We booked with Maui Ocean Project about a month before our trip to Maui. I emailed the owner, and…read moreshe responded quickly with several date and time options that fit perfectly into our schedule. She was extremely thorough about safety (huge priority for us. We have two kids, 10 yo and 7 yo) and took detailed measurements to ensure we had the right wetsuits, snorkels, and fins. Our experience was amazing. She educated us about the reef's habitats and the aquatic life we were likely to see. We even got to see an octopus and several sea turtles! My husband and kids absolutely loved it. It was truly a highlight of our trip.

As a family of four with small kiddos (age 7 and 4), we wanted to take the kids out to snorkel but we really wanted to see some sea creatures and we a little nervous about going out on our own with the kids. The fact that we could walk into the bay without going on a boat was huge for all of us, 3 of us get motion sickness! Jen and Dave taught all of us so much about the ocean, Maui, and wildlife which made the snorkeling feel so much more meaningful. Upon walking into the bay, we saw a turtle swim by. HIGHLIGHT OF OUR ENTIRE VACATION! Jen and Dave were so helpful with helping the kiddos enjoy themselves and feel safe in the ocean - which made the experience so much more enjoyable for us as parents. In addition to their expertise teaching us about what we were seeing in the ocean, Jen and Dave also took the most beautiful photographs of everything we saw and us in the ocean. To have these happy memories captured, means everything! Also they provided all the gear (including wetsuits!) which was super helpful to not have to worry about anything but towels, sunscreen, water, and swimsuits! We all had an amazing time and I cannot imagine going out to snorkel without Ocean Project!

From the very beginning, they treated us like family. The fact that they remembered our names made us feel so seen and genuinely cared for it wasn't just customer service, it was heartfelt kindness. As a small business owner myself, I know how much effort it takes to create that kind of experience, and this team does it so naturally. Their warmth, passion, and genuine care shine through in everything they do. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and for being such a special part of our Maui memories.

They kept the group laughing from start to finish, and I was having so much fun that I thought we were almost done, only to find out we were just halfway through. I also appreciated the little touches of aloha, like learning about the native plants along the way. After the tour, I had lunch in Paia and still made it to an afternoon snorkel trip on the Mololo before returning to Lahaina by 5 p.m. Tip: Use the driving directions in the confirmation email and remember that check-in starts 30 minutes before your tour time.

    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!"
