    Ready for a ride!
    Jeff P.

    These stables are located in a stunning setting at 1300 feet and conveniently for us, just across the way from the Lodge at Koele. We were fortunate to be the only pair of riders with with guide Cody and his pointer Gunner. We rode in the open and through ironwood trees while Cody shared the history and local lore. What a relaxing and enjoyable mid-day ride. I highly recommend considering coming up from the beach to visit the Stables at Koele.

    Upon arrival at the stables, we were greeted by Shaun, who also was our guide. He gave us a quick tutorial on horseback riding, helped us onto our horse, and we hit the trail. It was a nice slow walk and Shaun kept the group together. It took about 30 minutes to get to the top of the trail, which overlooks the ranch. Overall, it was a great experience, especially for a novice rider.

    it was awesome! We had Abby an out tour guide and she was so good. She took us in the different pens to be with the different animals.

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!

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.
