Maui Horseback Riding at Mendes Ranch

Come join us and live a legend! Experience an unforgettable journey of Maui's most spectacular views on horseback! The journey begins at a working ranch where real Paniolos (cowboys) will greet you. Canter up green pastures to the edge of a lush tropical valley and discover some of Maui's largest waterfalls.

Ride into the magical Waihee Valley with its Hawaiian plantation homes and taro patches, through grazing cattle to the crystal-blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, where we will be glad to take a picture of you on horseback with the majestic seascape as a background.
