Thompson Ranch Riding Stables

Reviewed By glutenfreesouthsea - Boston, United States

We visited Thompson Ranch on our last day in Maui and went on their morning ride. 2 other people were supposed to ride with us but they were concerned about the steep rocky terrain, so it ended up being a private ride. The horses are so well cared for and loved, and the family was really nice and careful about who could ride their horses (not over 200 pounds, for instance.) We has a great 3 hour ride with Andrea, from the barn at 4000 ft up to their cabin at 6000 feet. Gorgeous views when we weren’t in the clouds, but being in the clouds on horseback was amazing too. Loved the entire experience! We would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a small group horseback ride in the mountains of Maui!

Chez Klio -Maui Cooking Class

Reviewed By JudyG1227

This was the second all-day class (9-3:30 ish) we have taken and the instruction and facilities, combined with Chef Yasko's expertise were outstanding.. We were welcomed with an apple pastry and coffee or tea while we reviewed the menu. Our class made Oven roasted Kule Pork Salad,Yunnanish tofu,Lilikoi pork ribs, and steamed buns. Each of had our own complete station with all the necessary specialty ingredients and utensils. The Chef's prep for this was amazing and while we sometime each had 7-10 ingredients, the work areas were beautifully organized and never became cluttered or messy. It's difficult to explain just how beautifully this class was organized. Every utensil was immaculate, every knife sharp, every ingredient fresh. There were five of us in this group along with Chef and a helper. We've taken classes all over the world and Chez Klio is certainly among the best.

Great wine in a very beautiful place in the nature . It is a must stop . We did not do the tastings, we got a glass of wine instead 5 oz for $7. We got the Maui Blanc and Maui Splash that had also a mild pineapple taste . It was really good. I would recommend this place to any wine lover.

Ali'i Kula Lavender Farm

Reviewed By lrandy6 - Keizer, United States

Even though our group was on “the older side” (an 85 year old mother and her 3 daughters) and who had mobility problems, we throughly enjoyed our visit to the lavender farm. We were able to explore the garden area that was closest to the gift shop without a problem and it was absolutely beautiful. The drive to the farm, the view from the gift shop, the variety of plants and flowers, the yummy scones and lemonade....we loved everything!
