    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.

    Based on the Four Seasons' recommendation of The Nanny Connection and Yelp reviews, we specifically…read morerequested Nanny Paulette for our week in Maui, and she exceeded all expectations. From our initial phone call--where she thoughtfully asked about our child and answered all our questions--her warmth and professionalism were evident. Her genuine love for children and personable nature put us completely at ease. Paulette arrived well-prepared with fun, age-appropriate toys, and our little one bonded with her almost instantly. She cared for our child over three days, giving us much-needed and worry-free adult time during our vacation. The experience was so positive that we will absolutely request Paulette again on our next visit to Maui. We only wish she lived closer to home! Highly recommended for any family seeking exceptional, trustworthy childcare on the island.

    I worked for the Nanny Connection for almost five years, and worked for a great many families and…read morereceived a great many positive reviews...However, if we sit for hundreds of families, there's going to eventually be a mismatch...And then this agency likes to take it out on the nanny... When this happened to me, the manager did not have my back, even though I have been kind, polite and generous to every family. That does not vary. The second time this happened, a year and many sits later, I had gotten the time wrong because it was changed, and when the family complained, the owner demanded I pay her the money I earned from the sit...Once I paid her, she and her husband ghosted me...They had hired me as an independent contractor, and therefore I was also ineligible for unemployment...And so I have been struggling to pay my rent since... I spent several years working for them and made them a lot of money, and at the end, I was just ghosted...And I am not the first nanny who has been hurt this way...I've also heard accounts from others, which is why I've decided to speak out against them...

    So, an old website told us that this little nonprofit hosts a Rainforest Walk every day at 11:30…read moreand 1:30 for 20 bucks a pop. Sounded cute, so we called to make a reservation. But the exceedingly nice girl on the phone informed me that they didn't have set times for hikes anymore due to a decrease in attendance and tour guides could be called in if you make a reservation in advance (keep this in mind if you want to bring a group here). There was however, a little pamphlet that we could pick up at their main office to take us on a self guided hike, which was basically the same thing as the tour, she said. Also, they no longer charge $20, but they do have a 10 dollar suggested donation for upkeep of the trails and such. Sounds good! I said. When we got there, we were greeted by the same sweet girl from the phone. Although the place looked swamped with the arrival of a mass of little campers there to stay at their facilities for the night, she was very patient with Mom and I and answered all of our questions - even led us to the head of the trail! The trail was probably about a mile and half long. Up and down some minor hills (maybe to much for grandma to handle FYI). Along the way there are little numbers placed on the trail that correspond with the laminated sheet that they give you to tell you about all of the different types of plant life (which are native species, which were introduced, uses the natives had for the plants, etc) that exist in the rainforest. The sheet also fills you in on some Hawaiian history! Very educational. Bring someone literate! It's fun if you have someone read the sheet at each number. Careful! You might learn something.

    The Hawaii Nature Center, located in the Iao Valley State Park, is a non-profit organization…read morededicated to fostering awareness, appreciation, and understanding of Hawaii and its natural environment, and providing a educational experience for visitors to the Islands. Iao Valley is the site of one of the most famous and bloody battles that changed Hawaiian history forever. On this site, In 1790, King Kamehameha I destroyed the Maui army in his effort to unite the Hawaiian Islands. The valley is still a sacred burial ground for the ancient kings and their people. The Nature Center offers guided hikes through the Iao Valley for a small fee. After crossing Iao Stream by bridge, the tour passes by an ancient village site, a live taro patch, and numerous indigenous, Polynesian-introduced, and recently-introduced exotic plants, including wild coffee trees and giant banana plants. The hike continues through the rainforest to the base of the majestic, 2,250' high Iao Needle pinnacle. The Iao Valley is the wettest spot on Maui, and the second wettest in all the Hawaiian Islands. Wear sturdy shoes, bring a light jacket, a hat, and lots of insect repellent. The mosquitos here are voracious. You can get a bite to eat at the snack bar at the Visitor's Center. Surprisingly, it is run by the owner's of the excellent Cafe O'Lei, and serves up gourmet-quality light fare.
