THE MENDES RANCH TESTIMONIALS

  Below are a sampling of letters written by our guests.

Aloha,

I would like to commend the Mendes Ranch and it's staff for a great experience that my wife and I enjoyed in early Oct. '08.

We were fortunate to enjoy an afternoon ride with a small group (only 7 of us); and our guide, Frenchie, gave us a wonderful experience, - the vistas were breath taking. He was very cordial, took great care in ensuring that we were safe and we knew what to expect. Frenchie answered questions for all of us and was an all around great 'frontman' for your ranch. Please extend our thanks to him and to all of your staff for a amazing afternoon.

We look forward to coming back to the Mendes Ranch when we return to Maui in a few years.
Mahalo,
Matt and Beth Kirkwood Vancouver Island, BC, Canada

"My family and I were in Maui last month, and took your morning trial ride. I just wanted to send a quick note to say Thank You. We had a fabulous ride! We have 2 sons, ages 9 & 12, and they absolutely loved it. The scenery was just beautiful, and the guides were an absolute hoot! I'm sorry that I can't remember his name, but the guide that was riding in the middle/back with us, kept us in stitches the entire time. He was truly a character.

We have been horseback riding before in Lake Tahoe, CA, and while that was also a beautiful ride, this one in Maui couldn't be beat! The trail from the mountains down to the ocean was just breathtaking and we just loved it. My husband loved that he was able to run the horses for few minutes, and yet, I didn't have to. The next time we return to Maui, we will definitely be riding with you again.
Thank you,
The Frid Family

Dear Mendes Family,

"I would like to thank you so much for the great time we had today horseback riding. My wife and I enjoyed the adventure of the ride, the great scenery, and the friendliness of the guides. What I am most thankful for though is your generosity to our Nation's Soldiers by discounting family members tickets and providing me with a complimentary ride. It is always a great feeling for Soldiers to know that everyday Americans appreciate our Soldiers' service. As an Army leader I can assure you how important such acts of kindness are. Again thanks for such a great time today---it was great R&R for this Soldier!
With great appreciation,
Mark

"Just wanted to thank everyone again for the fantastic ride we all had out there last week. We really appreciate the real ranch atmosphere and the authenticity it provides to the ride. My whole family really enjoyed and it was a highlight of our vacation. While I ride a fair bit out here, it was an unusual treat for the kids and they all got to learn how to love riding a bit more - many thanks!"

"Thank you so much, the Horse ride was the best part of my trip. The land was beautiful and everyone was very nice. It was raining and I didn’t have anyone accompanying me in the group and I still had the best time that I’ve had in a long time".
Thank you, Ruth M. Ayers

"This was the highlight of our trip! The staff at Mendes Ranch was very friendly, the horses were well trained and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. They even let you gallop, if you want to, at certain points in the tour. We would highly recommend this activity to anyone".

"Just wanted to thank you for a great trail ride on July 28. We were visiting from Ohio and the visit to your ranch was one of the highlights of my trip. I have been with horses all my life and it was great to be with horse people on a trail ride. Most of the time you get people that are in it just for the money but your whole staff are knowledgeable and very kind. Again thank you for your friendship".

"Dear Allan,
I want to thank you so much for allowing me and some of the kids to go on one of your trail rides. (Some of the younger ones were scared and my 16 year old son is only interested in motorized transportation, so my husband graciously allowed me to go while he took a hike with the others.) It was absolutely unforgettable because you live in maybe the most breathtakingly beautiful place on earth. The guides, Sarah and Rodrigo, were real friendly and helpful in every way, the horses were very well behaved and each of us had so much fun. You have a great operation".
Tina Furtado

"Thanks Candy, Frenchy and all the rest. Nice Job adjusting to various skill levels. Mendes has undoubtedly the best ride on Maui. Beats the crater ride by a mile, next time I'm in Maui, I'll be back for a private ride".
