This was a highlight of our trip. Our guide, Ra, was great. He was great with the horses and with the people as well. Ra was a ranger in Yosemite, and clearly knew his Geology. I enjoyed the educational points of the trip but mostly just enjoyed riding my horse Lucy. She was great. The crater is the closest I... more

That's what I said when my husband said "Lets go horseback riding!" Guess what? I'm so glad I did. I felt like a kid again at summer camp! It was a wonderful day (4+ hours) but the experince is so worth it. I was not sore the next day, but my husband was, LOL! He no longer wanted to snub... more

The ride was a bit challenging for my 10 year old son but my 8 yr old daughter did great; my 65 year old mom (her idea) said it was her FAVORITE THING we did on this trip. For me it tied with the Molokini snorkel trip. We love nature. This was sort of like visiting another planet, the landscape... more

The experience was one every visitor to Maui should have. Keep in mind we are saying this with really no riding experience. Actually of the nine people in our group only one lady had any real experience riding. The horses know what to do, although a couple of them tried to act a bit stubborn. RA changed horses with one... more

We did the ride to the bottom of the crater in early February on our honeymoon and it might be the most amazing thing we did on Maui. Negatives: First of all if you aren't comfortable on or around horses this may not be for you. I am an experienced rider and I almost fell off of my horse headfirst... more

We had Ra (Robert) as our guide, who was a cool dude and emailed digital pictures he'd taken of us a few hours after we returned. He cares. It's an experience like none other. Although cliche, it is a once in a lifetime undertaking, a trip from tropical paradise into a landscape of awesome vents originating deep inside the Earth.... more

but be sure you're in reasonably good shape and you wear protective clothing. it is COLD (41 degrees the day we went) and very windy (you need good sunglasses and warm clothes). you should be ok with being on horseback for 4 hours or so as the trip is about 2 hours down to the bottom of the crater and... more

Most of our recent group on this 4 hour horseback excursion had a truly miserable time due to a sudden change in the weather. The mountain makes its own weather and this is an everpresent possibility. We were told that the weather had turned bad in 3 of the 5 days in our particular week, though it was just fine... more

What a treat!! Million dollar views with none of the work to hike there. The entire experience was well worth the price to be there. Sign up with Catheine, very nice & with all the critical information needed. Check in with Doug equally informative & reassuring. Horse guide Ra was excellent. A calm, knowledgeable guy & we felt completely taken... more
