Hawaii Vacation Rental, Hawaii Bound
 
 

Makena Stables is owned and operated by Patrick and Helaine Borge. Since 1983, Makena Stables offers much more than "just a trailride." They have exceptional neck reining horses, many raised and trained by them. They match each person to their horse by ability and offer help and lessons as needed to each rider.

Because the owner/trainer is the guide, he is more able to accommodate all levels of experience. All groups are small to keep things more friendly and interesting for everyone.

All rides are on Ulupalakua Ranch, a 20,000 acre open range, overlooking the Ahihi-Kinau Reserve and La Perouse Bay, and offer spectacular views of the most recent lava flow and the neighboring islands. Enjoy quick glimpses of Axis deer and other wildlife. During the winter months, we are graced by great views of whales below in La Perouse Bay. Bring your camera, your cowboy hat, and your spirit for adventure!

 

Daily Rides:

Introductory Ride


 


This is a two hour Introductory Ride for those green riders with more tender "okoles." One and a half hour of riding time with a half-hour refreshment break. This ride takes you up to Kalua O Lapa, the vent that the last lava flow on Maui erupted from.
A truly spectacular ride with panoramic views of the south slopes of Haleakala, the lava fields, La Perouse Bay, and the islands of Kahoolawe, Molokini, Lanai, and Molokai.



This three-hour Morning Ride is for the adventurous or experienced rider. This ride heads up the slopes of Ulupalakua Ranch to the cinder hills overlooking La Perouse Bay, and provides views of five of the Hawaiian Islands on a clear day. The expansive views will make you feel you're the only person on Maui. Breathtaking! With the variety of terrain and trails, this ride is a challenge for even the most experienced riders. But if you're looking for an awesome ride, this is the one!
 
Morning Ride


A snack break of fresh fruits, pastries, and beverages are provided.

Sunset Ride

 

The original and still the best ride, the Sunset Ride is similar to the Morning Ride as we climb the slopes of Ulupalakua Ranch to the cinder hills which overlook La Perouse Bay. Beautiful views including the 5 nearby islands, as the sun gradually dips towards the horizon.
This ride has a variety of terrain and trails, and will challenge even the most experienced riders. An awesome ride, and surely the most memorable experience of your visit.
