About Maui Mountain Activities
Maui Mountain Activities is a horseback riding and ATV tour outfitter operating from their private ranch on the Kahekili Highway in Wailuku, on the rugged north side of the West Maui Mountains. Their property spans working ranchland that climbs from sea level up to around 2,500 feet, offering riders sweeping views of distant waterfalls, lush valleys, and the Pacific coastline that most visitors never see from the typical resort vantage points.
Their core offerings include morning and afternoon horseback trail rides that take riders up through the mountain pastures to waterfall viewpoints before descending along the dramatic oceanfront cliffs. They also operate ATV tours for guests who prefer a motorised adventure through the same stunning terrain. All rides are guided by experienced wranglers who share stories about the ranch, the West Maui watershed, and Hawaiian cultural history along the way. Tours run Tuesday through Saturday, last two to two-and-a-half hours, and include complimentary refreshments at a scenic rest stop.
What makes Maui Mountain Activities special is the exclusive access to private ranchland that is closed to the general public. You won't share these trails with hikers or other tour groups — it's just your small party and the open mountain. The horses are well-trained, calm trail mounts suitable for beginners and experienced riders alike, with a weight limit of 215 pounds. The north-side location provides a completely different perspective on Maui compared to the resort-heavy south and west coasts, making this a genuinely off-the-beaten-path experience on an island that can feel crowded.
