See Maui on Horseback

Maui is a place that begs to be explored. From the rim of Haleakala's vast volcanic crater to the depths of the Pacific Ocean floor, secrets wait to be revealed and adventures follow naturally. A guided horseback tour is a great way to not only explore out-of-the-way terrain, but also to
become familiar with the lay of the land and the island's culture. Tours are as diverse as the terrain. Pick your way to the floor of a crater. Or ride through a generations-old, family-owned cattle ranch.

Outside Makawao, at the edge of an Upcountry rainforest, Piiholo Ranch offers horseback rides and a glimpse of another era of Hawaii's history. Owned and operated by Peter Baldwin, the ranch has been in the Baldwin family for six generations. The Baldwins trace their heritage to the missionary era of the 1830s and have a long history of cattle ranching and prominent public service.

Tours, conducted by family and friends, offer gorgeous views, stories about Maui's ranching history, and glimpses of wildlife like the endangered Hawaiian nene goose, which is the state bird. The Baldwins have established a preserve and nursery for nenes on the ranch. There are three tours a day from Monday through Saturday. Private tours also are available.
