Small group of riders which allowed a more personal experience. The horses were sweet and you were paired by riding experience. The guides were awesome, personal, and provided an educational experience.

Great Tour Group. Great Horseback Ride Experience!
Professionals every step of the way! Great experience with amazing views. They were patient and caring for each of their riders. Would highly recommend booking a Horseback ride tour with them.

Great guides, horses and...
Great guides, horses and views. There is a stretch that you can gallop if comfortable, otherwise they have an option to walk instead. They provided water and took your photo at one of the overlooks. The road is a bit windy getting to the property, in case anyone in your party is prone to carsickness. Overall an excellent trip and highly recommend!
via Viator
Leaves a lot to be desired!!
Staff was great! Scenery was beautiful, however if you are expecting a ride near the ocean/on a beach and close to waterfall this is not the tour for you. You can barely see the waterfall because they are miles away and the ocean is from a distance at best.

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
West Maui Mountain Waterfall and Ocean Tour via Horseback: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.
How much does West Maui Mountain Waterfall and Ocean Tour via Horseback cost?
+
Prices start at $208 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Maui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does West Maui Mountain Waterfall and Ocean Tour via Horseback take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Maui is not rushed.
Is West Maui Mountain Waterfall and Ocean Tour via Horseback worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 907 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Maui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule West Maui Mountain Waterfall and Ocean Tour via Horseback?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is West Maui Mountain Waterfall and Ocean Tour via Horseback suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book West Maui Mountain Waterfall and Ocean Tour via Horseback?
+
Around 317 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Maui can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Maui and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does West Maui Mountain Waterfall and Ocean Tour via Horseback start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Maui within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Maui?
+
Maui's three signature days are the Hana road, the Haleakala summit sunrise and the Molokini snorkel sail, and all three are logistics problems as much as experiences. Sunrise summit entry is permit-controlled, Hana is a ten-hour driving day, and Molokini boats vary wildly in size. Our ranking rewards operators who handle permits and keep boat capacity low. On Outty we rank every Maui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Molokini Crater + South Maui Coast Adventure from Kihei, Maui, West Maui Snorkeling Experience by Boat from Ka'anapali, Maui Eco-Raft Tour: Eye-Level Whale or Dolphin Watching - Lahaina. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Maui?
+
April to May and September to October. Whale season runs December to April. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Maui?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in West Maui Mountain Waterfall and Ocean Tour via Horseback?
+
Included: Refreshments (soda, juice, water) will be available and complimentary; Saddle bags and helmets are provided; and All activities will be guided. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for West Maui Mountain Waterfall and Ocean Tour via Horseback?

The guide will arrive by the 8:15am check-in. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

+

+
