Piiholo Ranch
 



There are many horseback trail rides on Maui, but only one offers the traditional Hawaiian paniolo cowboy adventure. Now you can live the legacy of the Baldwin family, ranchers on Maui for six generations. Piiholo Ranch borders the paniolo town of Makawao (Hawaiian for beginning of the rainforest). Owned and operated by Peter Baldwin and his family, Piiholo Ranch horseback rides share the family’s experience in cattle ranching and caring for the land and Hawaiian history for more than one hundred years.

Into the towering Eucalyptus forest and green Kikuyu and Pangola pastures, one can’t help but notice the panoramic views – from 2,000-foot elevation to the blue Pacific Ocean, your eyes will dance watching nature’s powerful beauty. Piiholo Ranch provides a horseback ride with plenty of open range to move freely and visit spectacular vistas. Along the ride, guests will see many native plants and indigenous trees of Hawaii, and sometimes colorful, endemic forest birds. The Baldwins have also developed a preserve and nursery for the state bird, the endangered Hawaiian Nene goose, at Piiholo Ranch.

The Baldwin Family can truly be called pioneers of Maui, having participated in the missionary era of the 1830s to the monarchy period of the late 19th century and from World Wars I and II through the plantation era to the present. Six generations later, the Baldwins’ legacy trail makes for a fascinating ride.
