My wife and I went for a ride at Ironwood Ranch on our Honeymoon to Maui on May12 2012. We had a great time! Our guide (Gina) I believe, gave us a fantastic hour and a half ride in the mountains above Kaanapali. We had a great time and highly recommend it. The horses (I recommend Sandra Bullock and Jean...

Took my family for a ride on April 17, 2012. My son (age 11) and I had never ridden before. My wife and daughters (ages 10 & 7) had some beginner experience. The trail ride was beautiful with views of the ocean, mountains and natural habitat. The horses were well-trained and dutifully obeyed every physical command, providing both me and... More

She has been taking riding lessons for the past year but has never ridden western or on a trail. With... More

I am not an experienced horseman, but have done trail rides in about 10 different locations. My visit today to Ironwood Ranch was the best trail ride I have experienced. The setting is an old 20,000 acre pineapple plantation with citrus orchards and stables and scenery that makes you want to hang around a while. All of the workers were... More

My husband and I went on the West Maui Journey with Gina as our guide. We were set up with two beautiful and very well trained horses, "Jean Claude Van Damme" and "Will Smith". 'Will' was so well trained that I barely needed to steer him. We are both beginners so it was important to us to have well trained... More

We did the 1.5 hour ride this morning and it was great. You get to ride thru some great views and we loved every minute of it. Neither my wife or I had been on a horse for many years and the staff did a great job at matching a horse with our experience. It only took a few minutes... More

Ironwood Ranch (IR) is located on the NW end of Maui. It offers horse rides of varying lengths. The staff, specifically Gina and Doyle, were great people, cooperative, friendly, and safety-oriented. It's an easy drive from Lahaina and really, anywhere on Maui, and offers beautiful views of the island and Pacific Ocean. We've been twice now and had a great... More

Doyle was a great guide, telling us about what to watch for along the trail. And trainee Brittany rode at the end of our group of six... More
