The tour with Mike has been an outstanding experience. Nothing to complain about, only positive vibes for all parts of the tour.

Had an amazing waterfall hike excursion with Julisa! She was incredible; so knowledgeable about the land, so kind and patient with our group, she created a once in a lifetime experience for our family that we will never forget! Highly highly recommend! read more

On the morning of our scheduled tour on the Road to Hana, it was pouring rain but we decided to go anyway. We met up with our guide, Mike and from there on we had the most incredible, memorable experience anyone could have on the Road to Hana. As we started on the trip, the rain stopped and we were literally one of the only cars on the road. Mike stopped many times to pick fruit for us to try, was extremely knowledgeable about every part of the trip, knew just about everyone along the way and treated us like royalty as his guests. We learned, we laughed, we joked and we had the time of our life thanks to him. We swam under a beautiful waterfall and had a fantastic meal at Hana followed up with fresh fruit from the land. I think we had an experience of a lifetime and owe it all to Mike and Epic Maui Hikes! We are recommending them to everyone! read more

We had the greatest time with Lauren! My husband and I had a private hike and she did a great job customizing it for our ability level! We were able to find an easy hike that still had us swimming under waterfalls and seeing the bamboo forest and local fauna. We will definitely be back! read more

Noah was awesome! We avoided crowds and got to see so much road to Hana has to offer! We saw some incredible waterfalls bamboo forests and beaches and learned so much about Maui! An incredible experience! Highly recommend! read more

Best Waterfall tour on Maui!! We booked a few adventures with them and got a multi-tour discount. Call and talk to Amira for this deal. We did their Waterfall Adventure and the Haunted Maui.... wow!! Great guides and we are telling all our friends going to Maui to book both of these tours. read more

Shelby is the best! We booked a private jungle & waterfall tour and she was so patient, helpful and, most importantly, fun! We had a little adventure, saw beautiful waterfalls, and learned a bunch about the area. The tour felt more like a hike with a local friend than a tour. We would recommend to everyone! Thanks Shelby! read more

This was truly a once in a lifetime adventure! Thanks to Mags we got to experience the waterfalls on an entirely new level. Thanks to Mags we were challenged beyond what we would have imagined and her confidence in us - boosted it in ourselves. Mags also recommended a tasty Poke place. If you are even remotely considering this tour - we say Go FOR IT!! It is 100% worth it! read more

Booked the waterfall Hike and was not disappointed. My two sons 17 and 16 loved it. The hike was not too difficult especially for them. I did stop when we got to the falls and there was a ladder strapped to a small Cliff you have to navigate, and let them finish. I'm 49 and know my limitations. Over all it was great. Christian does have quite a bit of Hawaiian history in his head and is happy to share. Price is a bit steep but we would never have found that spot without a guide read more

I had a hard time finding many recent reviews for this Epic Maui Hikes, and I would like people to know what they are signing up for. I did the "4 hour jungle Maui waterfall hike" with my partner - $200 per person. The 3 stars don't have much to do with our tour guide, but rather details that didn't go well. I'll start with the good stuff. Our guide was friendly and personable. They were impressively nimble, strong, and knowledgeable about many plants and trees. It was their first time leading this hike, and there's room for improvement, but with a little bit of coaching, I'm sure they can grow into an even more awesome tour guide. Nobody else happened to book the time slot with us, so we essentially got a private tour. The waterfalls we visited were stunning, and not too crowded, but not empty. It's worth noting that the trail seems like the kind of spot where you should be concerned about flash flooding, though our guide didn't mention it. We went all the way to the last big waterfall, which was a gorgeous and thrilling journey, and wouldn't have been able to get as far as we did without our guide. There was a beautiful bamboo forest, swimming, rock climbing, rock scrambling, cliff diving - lots of memorable activities that you'd be hard-pressed to find all in one place like this. Unfortunately, there were a few significant things that made us feel uneasy, or made us feel it wasn't worth the full cost. 1. The entrance of the trail is very clearly marked with a "no trespassing" sign (which other tourists were ignoring). A passerby in a car yelled to us out their window saying that we're trespassing. But we ignored both and entered the trail. This was an uncomfortable start to the hike because we felt like we weren't supposed to be there. Not being from the area and wanting to be a respectful tourist, I would want to understand more about the signage and the interaction. What is the contention? Should we not be hiking here? Is it private property? We couldn't have done our research ahead of time since the tour description doesn't include the trail name. I'm not sure if this company will switch up the trails over time, but we went to the Na'ili'ili Haele trail. After doing some reading online, it sounds like this trail is officially closed, but tourists and guide companies ignore the "no trespassing" signs because there are no real repercussions. Still leaves me with a weird feeling, and I'd want others to know. 2. The instructions email said to meet 15 minutes before start time, and that's when we arrived, yet our guide was about 10 minutes late and didn't give us a heads up about it. Not a professional first impression. 3. The hike is marketed as 4 hours (actually the confirmation email says 4-5), but ours barely ran 3 hours long (~2:45pm-6pm). I would have expected something at least 4 hours, since that's what we paid for. 4. Our guide either didn't know how to use a GoPro, or the one they had was broken, so we didn't get any GoPro footage as marketed. Our guide did their best to take photos using their phone, but it really isn't the same since GoPros are waterproof and phones aren't. I really wish we had just brought our own phones in waterproof cases, but we weren't given any guidance about that. Overall, while the hike itself is certainly memorable and unique, the tour experience just didn't feel worth the full price that we paid, given that these issues are all entirely within the company's control. read more

Giving this a 5-star because of our guide Zak. He was fun, entertaining, had a lot of island knowledge and history. Pros: you get to see crazy jungle, waterfalls, plant life, some wild life... Cons: it's not really a hike. It's more of a 3hr scenic car ride with some nice stops. I was expecting to go on a real hike, but I also understand that the terrain doesn't really lend for that. Either way, it was a good overall experience and I would recommend checking it out. It's so strange to see the tropical weather change in a short car ride. read more

The waterfall adventure was one of the most beautiful hikes I've ever done, and Alexandria was great! She really brings out your sense of adventure, and her love for the earth is inspiring. read more

Thank you Adam! I am not an experienced hiker at all and Adam along with my crew made sure to get me through the water, waterfalls, rocks, muddy terrain and made sure to tell me where to step and how to do it all. He told us what to expect and kept us safe and entertained! Adam also had a go pro and took pictures the entire time for is and he was able to get is those pictures! Just a great experience for us one of the best experiences we had in Maui! read more

Michael. Michael. Michael. Took a 9 day trip to Hawaii with our family of 5: ages 53, 46, 21, 19, & 17. If you ask any of us our highlight of the whole trip: Michael on Maui and the Waterfall Adventure Day. (EpicMauiHikes.com) The beauty in this trip is not the scenery, not the location and not getting to act like a kid for a day doing crazy things you've never done before; the true beauty in the trip is the comradery & bond you feel from taking the journey together as a family. A once in a lifetime team building experience that will go down as a memory I'm certain my kids will tell their grandkids about. Michael is such a kind-hearted soul. He treated each and every one of us with the utmost respect. Skilled beyond his years, he has a background in the health industry, so any fears of something 'happening' along our trek were alleviated by his knowledge and expertise. Teaching us to rock climb, cliff jump, tidbits about the island -- just a magical experience. Now any tour guide could show us those things but part of that magic comes from Michael himself and his passion for life and love of the island. He immediately felt like a cousin that we'd grown up with or an old friend. If you book this trip .... and you should, you must ask for Michael as the guide. In our 9 days on the islands we adventured on the Road to Hana, snorkeled the Molokini Crater, partook in the Old Lahaina Luau, saw the Haleakalala Crater sunrise, visited Ka'anapali Beach, enjoyed stand-up paddle boards on Waikiki, indulged in a Tanyaka of Tokyo meal, saw Pearl Harbor, relaxed on a top US beach: Laniaki Beach, walked the incredible KaMakapu'u Lighthouse Trail and Tidepools @ sunset and took a full day trip to the Big Island of Hawai'i including time @ the Volcanoe National Park. Line all those experiences up and Michael's Waterfall Adventure with Epic Maui's Hikes was this Iowa family of 5's favorite. Tips: *purchase good hiking/water shoes -- you'll be swimming in these *don't wear white -- obvious reasons *eat in Paia before starting your day -- lots of food choices and you'll be glad to have the energy reserves later in the day *don't be sad if it's overcast or raining -- the weather changes here quickly. Your day is not "ruined" by the weather on this adventure. In fact, it rained off and on the majority of our day and that just added to the fun. Rivers and waterfalls were brimming. *mention that you'll likely purchase the video @ the beginning of the tour, so he'll be sure to take extra footage *have cash available @ the end of the day for a tip read more

What an amazing experience! We felt we saw a part of Maui that most do not on the Jungle Waterfall Hike. Stunning scenery and beautiful waterfalls. Noah our guide was fantastic and had huge enthusiasm for his job and the area. My husband, son and I all enjoyed it immensely. Note that it was in the wilderness and mildly strenuous. As my son said - it's not a corporate tour! There was mud and we did a lot of scrambling over rocks and ducking under some fallen bamboo. Prepare to get dirty and wear good shoes - ideally those that can go in water. We went in the afternoon, and Noah told us the water was generally warmer (it was) and we had no bugs. Traffic up and back on the Hana Highway was virtually nonexistent at this time. The reward of seeing this part of Maui, swimming in the pools, and doing some rope swings and low cliff jumping was so worth it! read more

What an amazing day! We called the night before and they accommodated us for the next morning! Booking was prompt and super easy! Our guide was very knowledgeable. Was 4 of us, 2 adults and 2 kids (10-12). Highly reccomend! read more

Woooowwww. So much fun. I was never a hiker and dismissed it right away whenever it came up but went on two already in three days! I'm out of shape but the adrenaline had me going throughout the entire hike and I made sure to do all the jumps since I didn't want to have any regrets. To be honest, I would not have been able to do any of these awesome hikes without their help. They were encouraging, knew all the awesome spots where no one knew about, and made sure my clumsy self came back safe. They were also very friendly and funny! Definitely made the whole experience better. I got the package with the videos and photos and really looking forward to watching them again. Highly recommend going with epic hike! Def makes the experience better and memorable! read more

Nice outing to Hana with Adam as our tour guide. Adam keeps everyone entertained, very detailed to individual's need from serving us mango while we were playing with waves, getting us hot warm banana bread on the road, cliff jumping with my three teens, etc. But most of all, Adam gets us there and back very safely. Thank you Adam. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to do a last minute adventurous hike. We called around 7pm the evening before and was lucky enough to find Epic Maui Hikes that was able to accommodate us at a very short notice. Amira was extremely pleasant and helpful with the booking. The next morning, we went on the jungle waterfall adventure with Michael, whom was nothing but amazing. He is patient, experienced, energetic, and truly loves what he does. We hiked through 5 waterfalls and learned so much about Maui through our 4 hour experience. My bf is terrified of the water but Michael made the experience so comforting that he even jumped off two waterfalls! At the end of our trip, Michael took us to Hookipa Beach where turtles typically come on shore to sunbathe. Unfortunately, the waves were unusually strong that day and none of the turtles came on shore. Michael went out of his way to drive us up and down the beach to find the turtles knowing that I really wanted to see them! Our experience would not have been the same without Michael. Epic Maui Hikes truly made our Maui experience remarkable and we cannot wait to come back for more! read more

The Road to Hana tour with Justin was the highlight of our weeklong stay in Maui. Justin was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and easy to get along with. Our group of 3 loved him. Highlights of the tour were waterfall swimming, cliff jumping, banana bread, and the red sand beach. Highly recommended! read more

My cousin and I had an absolute blast hiking with Michael! You simply couldn't ask for a better tour guide. He totally catered to our every request. We saw loads of waterfalls and had the hike of a lifetime. He ensured our safety at every step of the way. He had snacks and water for us, carried our bags, and accepted whatever pace we liked. He even jumped off of a cliff with me!!! Michael shared tons of local knowledge with us that will make our stay on Maui even better. He wasn't just a "tour guide" but rather a friend. He embodies the Hawaiian mentality. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone who likes hiking, at any experience level. Nicole read more

We did the private tour to Hana with Evin and he was amazing! Super knowledgeable and personable and tailored the tour to what fit best. He knew so much history and all the best spots...that there was no way we would have seen & experienced all that we did without him. In fact, I would be a little worried to explore without a good guide. Highly recommend! read more

There are moments in your life that truly change you and these hikes did just that. If you're looking to get away from the typical touristy spots and want to see the true beauty of Maui I highly recommend booking a hike with this company. Each of the guides are not only incredibly knowledgeable about the land and ocean but they truly want to share with you why they love the island so much. Don't worry if you aren't super fit, I never hiked, snorkeled or swam much until this trip and I was fine. You just need to want adventure. I went on 5 hikes, its a lot but I wanted to see as much of the island as possible. I had the pleasure of getting to know Sean, Matt, and Christine. They were all so patient with me since all of these hikes were completely out of my comfort zone. Even though I just met them they were so easy to talk to and trust. Christine even got me to jump off a small cliff into the water, after a 10 min freak out at the top (Do it! You won't regret it). If you aren't used to doing any of this then yes, it will be a little challenging but the reward is priceless. I spent 2 weeks on Maui and did a bunch of the group tours but the private hikes were by far the best and most beautiful days I had on the island. Every hike has breathtaking views, take time to soak it in. The pictures don't do it justice. I do recommend wearing water/hiking shoes. Mahalo Epic Maui wHikes for showing me around your "office". I will definitely hike with y'all again. Hikes: $ 125-250 Water/hiking shoes: $80 Experiencing an adventure of a lifetime: PRICELESS read more

My wife and I completed the road to Hana on 3/17/18 with Zac and it was incredible. We jumped off waterfalls, hiked in the jungle, explored the lava tubes and truly felt like we got the full experience. If your contemplating between Epic Maui Hikes and another Tour , Go with EPIC you wont be disappointed. read more

We had an amazing tour. We did the road to hana 1 day tour with Zac. It was awesome. Our tour guide was super patient with our two young boys. He took us to spots that he thought we would want to go to. My parents have been on the road to hana 5 different times and they said that this was the best time ever. read more

Words cannot begin to encompass the EPIC Hana adventure that I had with this company. Our guide rallied us early in the morning with an enthusiastic and contagious attitude about our day to come. Man, was he right! This company has really thought of everything. Our guide took safety, awesome snacks/food, pictures and adventure seriously. Between the countless hikes to amazing waterfalls and views, our guide told us history of the island and regaled us with fun facts. There was never a dull moment...from jumping off cliffs to laughing over a delicious lunch, the smiles never left our faces. I honestly feel like we got to see parts of the island, like private waterfalls and fruit trees hidden right off the road, that would not have been accessible with a knowledgeable guide. That you so much, Epic Maui Hikes for the adventure that I will remember forever...and the pictures to prove that I really did jump off the 35 ft. cliff into crystal blue waters. read more

Zac and Anthony were awesome tour guides... they made The Road to Hana a amazing experience. This is a must do in Maui... thank you Zac and Anthony you guys are the best! read more

This was one of the big highlights of our trip. We had a great hike off the beaten track - the entrance to our hike was unmarked. We ventured on a path I probably wouldn't have started on my own, and we were rewarded with rushing streams and spectacular waterfalls. It was truly paradise. Do let them know your hiking level before you book- ie. the hike we chose would prob be too challenging for little kids. Alvaro was a great guide, so entertaining & informative! read more

This tour was absolutely amazing. Not only did our tour guide (Chris) know exactly what he was doing and where to go, he went at our pace and made sure we were happy the entire time. He keep the conversations flowing and made sure we were all safe constantly on our hike. When we went to cliff jump, he went in the water and made sure we had enough room to safely land in the water. Amazing experience and would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to have an amazing day!! read more

My gf and I booked the Epic Maui Hike tour with Michael. We first called the Epic Maui Hike before booking because we had a few questions. We spoke with Amira whom answered all of our questions. Luckily for us there was a cancellation from another party the next day and they were able to book is the Bamboo Jungle Waterfall Hike with Michael. We met him at a public parking lot before the road to Hana. Tip: make sure you book a early hike so you can enjoy the waterfalls peacefully all by yourselves. Btw, this is a personal hike guide, if you are by yourself I believe there is a solo fee charge. Michael was an awesome guide, he was super laid back, gave us tips along the way, and was always making sure we felt comfortable. He drives you from the parking lot to the top where the entrance to the bamboo jungle, (just off the road). First thing we did was check out the awesome rainbow eucalyptus tree (photo opportunity) then he took us to the grass trampoline (another photo opp). Then your epic hike begins! I warned Michael that I cannot swim, am terrified of water, and no way jumping into the waterfall. He didn't pressure me at all, and just mentioned he brought me a life jacket just in case. He also is a registered nurse, cpr certified, and a life guard for over five years. With that said we journeyed into the bamboo forest. He took us through all five waterfalls. I'm not sure how he did it but he also convinced me to jump not once but two times into the waterfall. I used the life jacket, and he was waiting at the bottom of he jump reassuring that I wouldn't be under water for more than 5 seconds. Because of his patience and some minor convincing I felt comfortable enough to jump! Epic Epic Epic! This was the most memorable part of the trip and we have Michael from Epic Maui Hike to thank for this. Don't miss out on this once in the life time experience. The next time my gf and I are back, we'll be joining Michael for the Lava N Snorkel tour. read more

There's simply no words to describe the things we saw on our Road to Hana adventure but needless to say my life is forever changed. The experience was worth every penny and I can't say enough about Amira, Brandon, Sean and their entire operation. Don't think, book it now, you won't regret it. read more

I have been coming to Maui for the last 15 years and am lucky enough to now call this Valley Isle home. That being said .... EPIC MAUI HIKES is exactly that. EPIC!! Hands down one of the best experiences I have had doing anything. Anywhere. I have traveled the world and done some pretty amazing things, but nothing compares to the wonderful Island adventure that our awesome, high spirited, knowledgeable, adventurous and personable guide Sean took us on. I opted for the Hana full day adventure. From secret waterfalls, black sand beaches, cliff jumping, sprawling awe inspiring vistas (and yummy road side stops along the way), I would do it all again. And again. And again. If you choose to do just one thing on Maui, make EPIC MAUI HIKES your pick. You will not be disappointed and will walk away with the true magic of Aloha in your heart and unforgettably wonderful memories. read more

Sean gave the most epic tour of the road to Hana for my friend and I, a day that we will remember forever! We asked for an adventurous experience and he certainly provided. There was no pressure to do something we weren't comfortable with, but we couldn't resist whatever it took to explore the most stunning waterfalls, hidden mermaid pools and jumping off almost anything with a deep water source below! He was a great tour guide that not only knew the secret non-touristy spots but also made us feel safe and and supported on any tricky ground and had all the necessary supplies to keep us hydrated and energized through a long and active day. Best of all everything was captured on Go-pro so we can relive those wonderful memories again and again! Definitely recommend Epic Maui Hikes for anyone with a sense of adventure that wants to experience all the beauty and magic that Maui has to offer. read more

Toss aside all the tour books! Epic Maui Hikes will teach you and tour you all about Maui! We spent the day with Sean on the Road to Hana tour and this experience was the best way for my husband and me to enjoy this gorgeous area of Maui. Sean was SO knowledgeable, kind, down-to-earth, helpful, & funny. He explained about history, plants, trees (brought us to and taught us about a banyan tree - so cool!), insects, fruits (picked passion fruit from the side of the road for us to sample. Gave us an apple banana - who knew? ), rock formations, ecology, and so much more, during our long and beautiful drive and walks. He took us to numerous spectacular waterfalls - all very different and breathtaking in their own ways, red & black sand beaches, swimming holes, cliff dive watching, & many tucked away, off the beaten (tourist) paths that lead to the most beautiful of Mother Nature's gifts. He took us to a great lunch spot where we ate lunch al fresco with islanders underneath an almond tree (which we never would have known if he hadn't pointed it out). If we read 5 books on Maui we never would have learned as much as we did during our 1 day with Sean at Epic Maui Hikes. Oh, and Sean took oodles of amazing photos, with HIS camera, and he gave us the chip to download for us to keep. Epic Maui Hikes is hands-down the best way to get a private tour of Maui - they will customize the tour to whatever you want to see and do. You will not be disappointed. read more
