About Us

AN OVERVIEW

Family owned and operated since 1902, Thompson Ranch and Riding Stables is located on the upper slopes of Haleakala, between 4,000 and 6,500 feet elevation.

All private rides, limited to 4 riders at a time. We are far from a commercial operation, we do it simply to share a part of Maui that is often missed by many visitors.

Come share a day on the ranch with us!

Driving Directions to the Ranch

Thompson Ranch is approximately a 35 minute drive from the Kahului airport.

“Highlight of our Maui trip. The views are spectacular and the horses are so well behaved and smart. The experience was authentic and the ranch was beautiful! Andrea and her family own the ranch. She was so sweet and helpful! Highly recommend!”

““My husband and I spent our morning with Jerry & Toni Thompson who were fabulous hosts and guides. Their ranch is an actual working ranch that they run themselves, with warmth and humor. The ride is GREAT! The views were breathtaking as you make your way up to the top of the tour. We loved the fact that we got to ride by a big bull, and lots of goats & sheep. They pride themselves on the love and care of the land and animals. We would highly recommend the ranch for a great horsebacking adventure. We will definitely return during our next visit!!!””
