Koele Trail Ride
This leisurely walking ride follows a wooded trail winding behind the Lodge,
giving riders the opportunity to get a close look at the foliage that surrounds
Koele. The top of the trail offers sweeping views of Maui, Molokai, Lana'i City
and The Lodge. This ride is recommended to those who feel comfortable on a horse,
yet are still at the beginner level.
1-1/2 Hours.
Paniolo Trail Ride
Two hour escape into the hills surrounding Koele, once the center of ranching
operations on the island between 1874 and 1951. The trail leads the rider up
through guava groves and patches of ironwood trees, offering glimpses of axis
deer, quail, wild turkeys, and Santa Gertrudis cattle, culminating in spectacular
views of the dryland forest of Kanepuu and Lana'i City. Although the ride progresses
at a very leisurely pace, some previous riding experience is recommended.

Mahana Trail Ride
Explore the windswept plains of the old Lana'i Ranch on this newly added trail

Gulch and the Lana'i Hale. Keep your cameras ready, as the local wildlife can
sometimes pose for pictures.
