We have been to this show a couple times, but this last show has to be the best we have seen on Maui.

We recently visited the Mendes Ranch with a group of 5 (two women in our forties, two 16 year-olds, and a 14 year-old). I owned horses while growing up, but haven't ridden in years, and the other members of our group have ridden once or twice on other trail rides. We all had a wonderful time. We were placed in an intermediate trail group with another couple, making our group total of 7. Butch was our guide and he moved along the line of horses throughout to the ride, checking in with everyone and chatting about the ranch. He took lots of photos with the riders cameras at two different photo locations and even took video of the final run. Other reviews have mentioned the dust on the trail and we did get VERY dirty, but we expected it. At times, Butch had some of the group veer off to other portions of the trail to try to limit the dust. I did not mind this, but our younger members got a bit nervous when they could not see the other horses.
The views were simply stunning, f

We had a wonderful time with the crew of Aloha Blue on our snorkel cruise. Breakfast was continental with a lovely spread of fruit, pastries and breads. Juice, iced tea, coffee and water were also available.
We were taken to two snorkel spots and had an hour in each location. The time went by much too quickly! Joe, crew member, was in the water with us the entire time to point out sites and ensure everyone's safety. We were also provided with swim noodles (take advantage of those!!) to help swim against the current.
The second spot is known as "Turtle Town" and there are ample opportunities to spot sea turtles. It is great fun looking at the beautiful underwater world of Hawaii and seeing the sea life. Though we only saw one turtle it was worth the experience!
Lunch was cold cut sandwiches, which was disappointing as the tour information specified a BBQ lunch. The food was very good despite the misinformation.
There is also the opportunity to deep sea fish on the cr

A very nice ride from the marina to Molokini. I liked the intimacy of the small boat compared to having too many people on your trip on the larger boats that filled the area.
We have 3 families of 4 and the crew. Nice size to get the most out of the trip.
You could do some fishing along the way if you wish (on the way back, they caught a huge Mahi Mahi fish). You get a continental style breakfast on the way out.
You see some amazing things in crystal clear waters at Molokini.
We did go to Turtle Town. My wife had a close up encounter with a turtle on his way to the surface for air. She thought it was great.
A nice lunch on the way back which included burgers and sandwiches.
A good day for everyone on our trip.

We surprised our 10 year old son with surfing lessons on our recent trip to Maui. He was so excited when he finally found out what we were doing.
When we finally found Goofy Foot they were already getting people suited up and checked in. It is a little difficult to find, but worth the search. (Just so you know, it's past the school in a small shopping center on Front Street in Lahaina. Not in the main shopping district).
We checked in and they got him all suited up, he was the only kid that morning. They have small groups, only five people per instructor. They also have a photographer, $20 for 20 pictures. The pictures were good, not fantastic, but the price was great and we have a few really good ones.
The photographer took everyone down to the beach and gave them a lesson in hamming it up for the camera. Then the instructor came down and the lesson started.
They learned all the moves to get up, stay up, speed up and slow down on the sand before moving the board

For those who have never scuba dived this is a good introduction. Water was a little choppy, but staff were great in explaining what you could and couldn't do and where you could and couldn't go. For those that suffer from sea sickness should definitely take something before going, but all in all a good 1/2 day tour to do

Ferry ride was nice, fun at times with the waves. Beautiful view. Beaches in Lanai gorgeous. Good service. Not much to do in Lanai City. Most of the Restaurants there, which are not too many, close really early. We were lucky to be able to have a late lunch at one of them, cant recall the name, and the food was delicious.

Overall the event was fun. The staff was friendly and helpful. However, the trail was not the easiest of rides and the equipment could be updated. For example, my rein broke in the middle of the ride. Other than that, it was a great experience.

It was a nice trip to molokini, the water there was so clear compare to other snorkeling spots. Although the wave there was turning larger at the end and we did not see too much fish. The staff was very helpful and experienced in helping people in the water.
Another destination was turtle town and we did enjoyed our fantastic turtle-experiences.
I would definetely recommend people to go there, but possibly earlier time (We took off around 8am).

We took advantage of the opportunity to try snuba. Jamie was great! He helped us feel comfortable very quickly so that we could enjoy ourselves. He was a perfect tour guide under the water, pointing out unique bits of corral and things living within the corral, dusting things off as we went.
The Captain worked hard to help us find unique and interesting things to see as we sailed - made for great pictures and gave us a better understanding of the wildlife and the environment they live in.
The crew on board were fantastic hosts! So helpful and cheerful! They all worked really hard to make sure we were safe and happy and well fed...all with a smile! We really appreciated all of their efforts to make us welcome!

The cruise started off with a simple but nice breakfast and coffee. The staff is great and very friendly. The boat is also very large and roomy. Things went downhill when halfway to molokini it was announced the wind was to high and we were going to a second location. We got to this location about an hour into the cruise and went out snorkeling. I hate to say it, but it was DISSAPOINTING. We had better snorkeling at the beach outside our hotel. We stayed in this location for several hours, but after about 1 hour we had seen everything. We got back on the boat and they had a great lunch, tons of food. Then we just sat around for 2 hours waiting for all the children on the boat to finish up. On a side note, it seemed like the kids all enjoyed it. Personally, for this amount of money, it would be nice if they mentioned they dont always go to Molokin and offered some kind of rebate. Additionally, they need a better location to go as a backup plan. Obvioulsy our trip was differen

While we all had a lot of fun and took some great pics, the 2-hour ride ended up closer to 3 hours. Although I'm not an expert on horses, it seemed to all of us that the horses were exhausted and hungry. The house and surrounding grounds are not well maintained with too much trash around and lots of tall weeds around the buildings and lots. There were two guides. Our main guide was the younger one, and he was very nice. The other tour guide kept coming back and trying to make the horses run and go faster, which was a little unnerving for beginners...especially since the majority of the ride was either uphill or downhill on very rocky terrain. There was very little pasture riding. As the tour description indicates, you will get VERY dusty. We are glad we went for the ride, but would much rather have taken a shorter, easier ride for our first time. It's definitely a great picture-taking opportunity.

We first headed to Haleakala. There was a pleasant stop along the way for drinks and snacks. The views were spectacular and there was ample time to see the sites without being rushed. Judy, our tour director and driver, offered interesting facts and other information but appeared to be very bored and tired of the tour routine. She repeated the blurb about taking nothing but pictures about a gazillion times. Maybe it was just an off day for her. We headed to a very nice town for lunch. This was a pricey place, but the food was excellent and the service good. After lunch we headed to Iao and the rainforest inside. It was beautiful and once again we had ample time to see the sights without being rushed. At Iao we were switched to a different van that met us there and headed back home. All in all, a very pleasant day!

I've done Piiholo Ranch Zipline before, so I wanted to try something different for our Maui trip this time. The course was awesome, and we were really high up on the tree. We just zipped from a tree to a tree, so we didn't hike too much like the other tour.
The guide was awesome, and we played a game the whole time we were on the tour, and the winner got a free T-shirt. Be ready to scream. I highly recommend this tour!
