Tour: Waterfall & Rainforest Hiking Adventure. 5 hrs./Hotel Pickup Pros: Our tour guide was outstanding. He did everything he could to make everyone feel comfortable, included, and safe despite the challenging conditions. His professionalism, patience, and positive attitude truly stood out, and he deserves every bit of a 5-star rating. We made sure he knew how much we appreciated his hard work. Cons: If you're expecting an experience similar to Waimea Falls--a beautiful, safe, and enjoyable way to explore nature--this tour is unfortunately nothing like that. The concierge at Hyatt appeared to have little understanding of what the trek actually involved. The entire route was muddy, slushy, and extremely slippery. People were constantly losing their footing on wet rocks, tree roots, fallen branches, and uneven terrain. In several places, a slip could have easily resulted in a serious injury. These hazardous conditions continued for virtually the entire hike. If Maui has experienced recent rainfall, I strongly recommend thinking twice before booking this excursion. The trail conditions can become genuinely dangerous, and in my opinion, the risk simply isn't worth it. I only wish someone had been honest with us before we spent the money and put our family in that situation. Please do your own research, check recent trail conditions, and don't assume that every guided excursion is appropriate simply because it's sold through a resort or has high ratings. I would gladly pay the same $250 per person (price we paid for a 5 hr tour - hotel pick up from Hyatt) for a well-maintained state-owned park with established safety measures and properly maintained trails. Unfortunately, this tour fell far short of those standards and simply wasn't the right experience for us. read more

Meh. something to kill a few hours. Less of a "hike" and more of a nature walk in a little roadside park. The guide will point out various flowers and seeds, such. No wildlife to be seen. Pretty flowers here and there. Our guide (Grayson) was excellen, as he was knowledgeable and fun. Another guide (tall guy) from another group-same company jump my ass for looking at his group's "supplies." $140 per person to get snapped at? Yeah...sure. I'd pass on this in the futur. D.

We had to reschedule our hike day..due to the Kona low and the office staff were more than helpful. This is not our first hike with Hike Maui... we've come to Maui for the past 50 years..37 times to be exact... and Hike Maui is our go to during the past 20 years when we want to get out into the rainforest. We have taken three of their "Morning Walks" with our grandkids and it's a perfect introduction to hiking. Honestly we've had three different ...wonderful.. experiences. It's not strenuous and you're taken back to some private land that you'd not have access to if you just drove up and parked (if you found a parking spot) and hiked back in. We were lucky to have the lovely, fun, and knowledgeable guide named Randolyn ..aka Ran. She was the perfect blend of kind, patient and engaging with the grandkids, and very helpful with us old folks! On the drive on the way home she advised a few newbies to the island where some great places to eat were... they greatly appreciated her ideas! She had the most pleasant demeanor.... :) If you want a fun morning walk, call Hike Maui read more

I'm not sure I can say enough about how amazing our guide Michael was! He was informational fun and showed us his love for Maui. This was returned visit for me ,I came as a child and I wanted to show my children this beautiful island. Michael took care to make sure I was able to cross every water area to be able to get in and enjoy the falls also. I highly recommend using this company and ask for Michael. read more

The hike was awesome, so much to see walking through the rainforest. It was great going with Hike Maui because they have access to areas you can't get to on your own, or wouldn't even know about. The van was clean and new, and our guide Sarah S. was amazing. She was so knowledgeable about everything we saw on the hike, plus Hawaii in general. She picked fruit right off the trees for us to taste, and helped my daughter jump off a waterfall, which was one of the highlights of her trip. read more

I would give 10 stars if I had the choice. This was an easy Rainforest walk package with a little adventure of diving and swimming in the water added in, if you wanted to that is - no force. Brian was just soo fun, and soo informative. He balanced all our interests absolutely wonderfully, it was just amazing. The kid was thrilled with the his dino costume (Oh my god! the costume, he wore it on the Entire trip except when jumping off the rocks ofcourse), the adult in the other group with all the geological tectonics knowledge that flowed like an uninterrupted volcano from his mouth...non stop, and me with all the native plant life info. The Hala tree amazed me and so did the big red flower- torch ginger, which actually looks like a vibrant staff fit for a king. I would never have learnt about them in detail if not for this trip. All this besides the actual trip to the waterfalls, the encouragement he gave to the other group was astounding (I don't swim myself unfortunately, or the fun would have tripled for me). He supported, guided, advised, and made them have the time of their life with the diving and the swimming. Three cheers to the B.Rex. Hike Maui site itself had useful info for the walk and I brought the water shoes after reading about it on their site, it really worked great out there. Pick up was right on time and the directions were pretty clear, but u could have mentioned near Kahului Park and Ride, I mistook the 8 min drive for 8 min walk, and walked up from my hotel ! Hike Maui arranged for backpacks and that was very useful too. To just it throw it on our shoulders and walk freely. The little snacks were good after the walk. The best part was the passion fruit which was handed out as a parting gift. It was my first time to eat that fruit too. Note: The waterfalls are accessible privately with rental car too. You could explore the area in your own sweet time. But I did notice there were not many signs with specific directions inside the forest. And no labels on the plants. Most places no mobile signals either. That said, you could do it on your own. I cannot say enough about this trip. It is for all ages and a great little Maui to explore comfortably. PS: Hope Brian wins the Halloween costume contest today ( 31st Oct 2025) read more

Our guide, Joel, was fantastic. He determined the hike based on our skillset and I would say the hike was mostly moderate with several elements of difficulties. We arm linked and walked sideways through 3 raging waterfall which was over our ankles. There were also several very steep sections. Joel provided great guidance and made sure everyone was safe. You do get very muddy - we wore hard soled water shoes and did okay, but hiking water sandals would have been better. If you show up in tennis shoes expect them to get completely ruined. read more

Michael was an absolute vibe! His knowledge of different edible plants and flowers was awesome! He told great stories about Hawaiian folklore and was so kind to everyone on the tour, but especially our kids. He was so helpful in getting us and our kids to the jump off points at the waterfall and truly made our experience one of a kind. Thank you for taking me as high as you safely could for my cliff jump--even though you were hesitant that I'd chicken out. This is an experience I will never forget and am so thankful we had Michael leading the tour. Mahalo! read more

Our family had an awesome adventure to the twin falls with Hike Maui. Enrique was our guide and he couldn't have been more courteous and accommodating. He took careful consideration to ensure that our two small kids were able to navigate the rocky terrain and took us to a lesser known waterfall where we could swim and not be inundated by other visitors. Highly recommend Hike Maui for your Maui adventures! read more

Great hike! Lots of plants, flowers and the breaks at the waterfalls and jumping off into the fresh water. Our guide Mike was fun and had lots of knowledge on the history and all the surrounding foliage. Definitely a great way to spend part of the day in Maui. read more

Momo was our guide and she was fantastic and very knowledgable about the flora and fauna as well as any other topic we brought her way. We were a multigenerational family ranging from 6mo old to 73 years old and she made sure every single one of us felt comfortable and had fun. She came on time to pick us up from our hotel in a large roomy van and was fully prepared with a car seat and two boosters She taught us so much on the way to the hike. Once there, we were given snacks, a clean restroom, and backpacks and supplies for our hike. On our hike she had us taste various berries and flowers. In the waterfalls, she showed us great places to take a photo or jump from the cliffs into the refreshing water. We couldn't ask for a better guide or trip. Thank you Momo!! read more

George our guide nailed it! He is also awesome at taking phone pics! Swimming at the waterfall was the best!

Had an awesome time exploring this magical "Mars on earth" with my daughter. Brian was a fantastic guide--really knew his stuff about the trail and some cool facts. We even learned a bit about the native species that exist only on Maui. Thank you, Brian, for a memorable and adventurous day. read more

Will turn you away if you wear flip flops despite physical abilities, justifies as liability avoidance yet its perceived as deceitful due to no refund policy, a company that cares more about profit than customer experience or satisfaction, and don't even try to say it's a safety thing, signing a waiver already protects them from assuming that liability, not even ran by Hawaiians and other locals will tell you the bad things they've heard about this company, wouldn't be a problem if they could just refund or furthermore clarify that flip flops aren't allowed in a more readily visible part of the link provided, even those in the party were not able to continue hike and you are basically told you're out of luck and no further efforts were made to address or care for customers read more

Didn't get an experience! Our family was just turned down from the hike because some didn't have proper footwear. All of us denied. Never asked for the ones that had it to stay . No refund ,no partial refund . Not professional. Very limited opportunity to resolve. Not recommended read more

Was a great day! Had an excellent guide, Des, who was so informative about the island, plant material, and native folklore. The woman has no fear. Jumped of the highest cliffs, making it look so easy. I would highly recommend the tour. Would never have found the waterfalls, without her guidance. Thank you, Des, and Hike Maui read more

Our first time in Maui and this was on my to do list! Booking was easy, the person who took my reservation (forget her name :() was informative and already with the aloha spirit. Our actual adventure with our tour guide Eugene was amazing! He went above and beyond our expectations of this hiking adventure. Eugene knew his way around the trails probably with his eyes closed. He was knowledgeable, kind, funny, protect Eugene at all cost! The waterfalls (hoping it wasn't brown, but that's nature!) and cliff jumping were epic!! Thank you for the adventure! read more

This was a beautiful hike through rugged Maui complete with waterfalls, swimming trails and delicious fruit trees. You must have a bathing suit and shoes that can get wet. Hiking in your swimsuit is easiest as there are many areas to cool off and swim and walking trails through water and mud. read more

We had an amazing experience with Hike Maui! Our tour guide, Momo, was absolutely fantastic--knowledgeable, kind, and attentive every step of the way. This was our second time doing a Hike Maui tour (we did the 5-hour one 7 years ago), and this time we opted for the 3-hour version so all of our kids could join--including our 4-year-old, who had a blast! The hike was the perfect mix of adventure and beauty. We loved tasting local fruits and flowers, cliff jumping, and swimming under waterfalls--it was truly unforgettable. We can't recommend this tour enough. Thank you, Momo and the Hike Maui team, for another wonderful experience! read more

Company had great communication from the beginning. They texted the time to be picked up and were clear on time and location. The bus had great A/C and was nice and clean. Enrique was our guide. He made the drive enjoyable and fun by asking questions and teaching us all about the island. We did 4 excursions last week and this was our favorite. It was just myself and my 12 year old daughter. Wonderful adventure with 3 waterfalls and lots of jumping off cliffs. Super fun! I highly recommend Enrique as a guide. He was knowledgeable, fun, and kind. read more

Amazing hike with waterfalls. Allison, our guide was super knowledgeable about the history, the local fauna, and animals. She had a great personality. Also, love her snarky passive aggressiveness towards entitled teens. It was quite funny. read more

My teen daughter and I went on the Waterfall & Rainforest Hiking Adventure in March. Directions to parking location were clear. Transportation to the hiking site was clean and comfortable. The location was beautiful and our guide was very knowledgeable about the local area. She pointed out local flowers and fruits, even provided some samples of this those that were safe to eat. We hiked to different waterfalls and those who were brave enough jumped in! A sandwich, snacks, water and backpack were supplied. Bug spray and ponchos also available if needed. This was a great experience and would definitely book with Hike Maui again. read more

We booked a hike for my family of 4. Gail was our tour guide and she was amazing. She picked us up from our hotel and greeted us with a smile. Once everyone was picked up she was telling us all about Maui. She was very knowledgeable about everything (history, plants, animals, ext). Once we got to the hiking trail she did a great job finding cool things to stop and show us. We got to try many delicious treats she found. The trails were beautiful. The waterfall stops were stunning. My family had a great time jumping into the water and swimming. Gail was very encouraging and celebrated my son when he faced his fear of jumping off on of the larger cliffs into the water. Thank you for an truly cherished time and one we will be able to look back on with some great memories. read more

Not good. Guid left my daughter and I behind. No phone service on the hike either so hopefully you can find your way back if you get left behind read more

Hike Maui didn't disappoint again. Enrique as our guide was awesome! Definitely worth it for all visiting Maui.

Aloha! Abby is amazing with a great expertise of the flora and fauna and as a result you will experience all that the beautiful rainforest has to share with you. Abby will not miss a thing to enlighten and teach you about with grace, care, and fun! Thank you Abby for leading our great crew (our ohana). We all had an amazing time full of laughter, peace, wonder, learning, support, and gratitude. The best tour guide ever! Begin your adventure today! Thank you!! read more

The hike was great! We hiked to a beautiful waterfall and pool with the youngest at 4 years old and the oldest at 70. It was a great day. I highly recommend this hike! George was great with the little kids and a great leader/ host on this hike. read more

Wonderful tour - the sites are breathtaking and our guide Abby worked hard to ensure we weren't in a cloud or rain. She was very attentive and patient as the climb can be strenuous. If you enjoy hiking, this is a must book and this Hike Maui is top notch. They provided sufficient snacks, great lunch, and all the gear you might need. We really appreciated all the details and touches. read more

Angela was such a warm, welcoming guide. We enjoyed her educating us about the local floral and fauna. She was extremely accommodating and clearly loves her job. Thank you for a great time, Hike Maui! read more

Sarah was an amazing guide. We had a family emergency and had to cancel last minute, and they honored our reservation withGift card - which we were able to use on our trip! The farm tour is lovely. And while you can visit the lower falls without a guide, the longer hike gives you access to falls that aren't available to the public. read more

Our guide Dave was very knowledgeable about the island and gave us some great information which why we gave it 3 stars. Unfortunately this was definitely not worth the cost. Lunch and snacks provided were basically a 3rd grader lunch ( crappy "turkey" on wonder bread or pb and j on wonder bread & a mini size bag of Cheetos or Doritos). The actual hike was less than 2 miles and we basically walked in circles to burn time. The waterfalls were nice but nothing we haven't seen before on other islands. This is something anyone could do on their own if you stay on the trails and follow the signs. read more

My husband wanted to do a rainforest waterfall hike while we were in Maui. I booked Hike Maui thru our concierge. Unfortunately, the night before the hike my husband got a stomach bug so it was me and my 3 kids. We aren't the most adventurous so I wasn't sure how it would go, but willing to try. Michael, our guide, picked us up at our hotel about 15 min late. I was worried something got messed up with our reservation, but I think he got a bit behind picking up the other family from a nearby resort. It was about an hour drive to the rainforest and Michael did his best to keep us entertained with introductions and some fun facts about Miami. He was a great guide from the first minute. We each took a backpack courtesy of hike Maui filled with a pre ordered lunch (ex pb&j), water and ponchos. I decided to skip the ponchos since we would get wet anyway, but regretted it when the downpour started a few min later. We walked to the first waterfall and the kids had fun swimming and exploring. After that my youngest decided he was done yet there were 2 more waterfalls to see. And when my youngest is "done" there are typically no negotiations. Michael showed us to a food stand and told us to wait at a nearby bench and he would finish up with my older 2 kids and the other family. We enjoyed pineapple smoothies, banana bread and chased around some chickens to keep busy for 1.5 hours and then they came back- happy, dirty and tired. Overall, everyone had fun...even my youngest, but one waterfall was enough for him. We got pretty dirty and muddy and I wish we had worn keens based on what our sneakers looked like after, but it was a fun day of memories. read more
