100% recommend this trip. Shauna and Alba were great guides! Educational, patient, and the comic relief was a bonus. Our small group consisted of total rappelling newbies and some with experience but we all had a blast! Take this trip!!! read more

If you're looking for an absolutely fun, safe, unforgettable "you'll talk about it forever" one-of-a-kind adventure experience, you've gotta try Rappel Maui! We went to Maui to celebrate our son's college grauduation and booked a morning tour with Rappel Maui as part of our day spent exploring the road to Hana. From start to finish, this was a top notch experience: from the incredible guides Shauna and Deacon, who were funny, knowledgeable, professional, supportive (not gonna lie, we wanted to take them with us on the rest of our trip just to keep hanging out); to the fact that they provided everything we needed (shoes, wetsuits, snacks, water, bug spray, backpacks, and of course state of the art safety gear); to the nature of the event itself, which was a well-planned, exhilarating experience that mixes adrenaline, beauty, nature, Hawaiian history, and a barrel of laughs. We had never rappelled before, and this experience exceeded all expectations. We highly recommend - this one left a lasting impression. Shauna and Deacon, we will be back for more! read more

We recently visited Rappel Maui and had a fantastic time. This was the second time I took my two teens. We went in 2022 for our first adventure. This time I took my kids again and my fiancé and her two kids for their first experience. Everyone had a blast! The team was excellent. Patient, clear with instructions and they provided just the right amount of push to encourage my step kids to get over their initial fear of taking the plunge. The kids were very pleased with themselves after getting over their hesitation and seeing that they could do it. The location is beautiful, the drive up is on the Road to Hana (a big chunk of the best part in our opinion) and very doable from black rock, which is where we stayed. I can't recommend this adventure enough. Not only is it fun and gets you out of your comfort zone but it also gives you a chance to immerse yourself in Maui's incredible environment (quite literally!) read more

My family and I booked this activity to try something new and face our fears (aka me). Although I hated it since Im terrified of falling backwards the tour guides (Elena and Shauna) were amazing. Shauna had a great sense of humor and kept me laughing. Elena made sure I felt comfortable and reassured me multiple times. They both were amazing and telling each of what pieces of equipment do what and what to do in case of an emergency. The photographer was also amazing. He got amazing shots and was also a great support system. It was so amazing to see how fast they can go down the waterfalls themselves! It takes place in the Garden on Eden which is very beautiful. There's about 150 feet worth of repelling. Two 40ft and one 50ft. The first one you start off with is off the side of a hill not a actual waterfall but it's nice to get used to it before your on the rocks. The other two are waterfalls where you jump in when you're 2-5 feet away from the ground if you want. There's a little bit of a pathway down but it's not bad but of course what you go down must come up. The way back up is mainly stairs and they call it the "booty blaster" which I agree lol; the stairs are getting eroded away in some spots but that's normal with nature. Shauna was an awesome guide giving us breaks and quizzing us on the native of invasive plants. Make sure to bring an extra change of clothes!!!! Don't make the mistake I did otherwise you're gonna be wet the whole ride home but that was my fault. Also recommend wearing junkier shoes because you're in a rainforest and rain created mud. read more

This was one of the coolest things we have ever done and we have done a lot of things. You have three different places you repel down. The first one is more of a training and preparation. The other two are the reasons to do this. The 1st waterfall you repel alongside the falls. At the bottom you are given the option to jump in the water. The jump in is fun but I will tell you the water is a little chilly. The 2nd waterfall you traverse down through the falls The two gals Alba and Abbie were amazing giving instruction and spunk to the activity. They are totally cool people. I was glad they prepped us for the hike back up. Take a deep breath and get ready for some elevation. read more

Jonas and Shauna were amazing. This totally made our trip to Hawaii. My wife and my cousin are still talking about it. The waterfalls were BEAUTIFUL, the water was clear, and they made it so comfortable and enjoyable. There were people very nervous (including my wife), but everybody not only made it but were raving about how much they loved it. I will be back. Rappelling is my new favorite thing to do! read more

Had a fantastic adventure day here with a friend. We booked our tickets online in advance about a week or so. Small groups here the tour maxes out at 8 people + your 2 guides. We just did a traditional tour 3 rappels , 3 hour tour. Don't want to give anything away but it was a blast! Definitely would do again in a heartbeat. Getting there , you have to go through the Garden of Eden Entrance gate , tell them your here for the rappel and they will direct you to the next parking lot where you wait for your guides. Has small restrooms and a tiny shop with local art and some rappel gear. read more

In A Nutshell: -Rappel Maui is a fun activity you can do in a small group of family/friends. -The location is about 1/4 of the way on the Road to Hana co-located at the Garden of Eden Arboretum. -Parking was plentiful & easy. -Your two guides will meet you at the parking lot & walk you to get your gear fitted & store any belongings. -Our guides, Naomi & Deacon were very professional, cool & nice. -You will rappel off of a total of three different areas: the first is an easy practice/familiarization cliff, the second and third rappels are both waterfalls that drop down into small ponds. -If you don't have any experience it's okay you will learn very fast. -It's pretty rewarding to be able to rappel down into two different waterfall/ponds on a hot day in Hawaii. Overall, the entire experience lasts about 3 hours. read more

This was a unique adventure on Maui. My wife and I got to see and experience spectacular vistas along with the adrenaline rush of repelling down 2 private water falls. The guides, Naomi and Jack, were fun, encouraging and informative. Not only did they make sure we were safe but they also knew tons of interesting facts about the island. It was well worth the money and avoided the usual tourist spots. read more

We had a wonderful time rappelling the waterfalls. This is a Must do activity for anyone who is adventurous and wants to do something off the beaten path. They were organized and professional with everything. Communication was clear from the time I booked. I was texted the night before with specific instructions. The activity itself was so fun. We felt safe the entire time. Elena an Shauna are true professionals. read more

This is a hidden gem that honestly should not be hidden. Unless you're some kind of mountain climbing junkie or rappelling expert, this experience is memorable and one-of-a-kind. Where else can you walk through a tropical rainforest full of exotic (unfortunately, not a lot of native flora anymore) plants and canopy trees to, not one, but two gorgeous waterfalls! The experience started on the white-knuckle journey on the Road to Hana. I highly recommend booking the 8am tour as there's less cars on the road to deal with. Once you're there, the check-in process is super easy. Shauna and Elena are amazing guides, the best at what they do and they love what they do so it makes for such a pleasant experience. Got fitted with helmets, boots and harnesses and off we went. The hike to the first "test" cliff was brief and both guides were so encouraging and knowledgable. You get a feel for trusting your guides and hoping the metal and rope prevent you from a nasty rest-of-your-vacation. That was exaggerated. The second rappel is down a 55-foot waterfall. Yup. 55 feet. It may not seem high, but looking down, it felt like 500 feet. Again, Elena and Shauna were amazing at making sure you feel as comfortable as can be, cheering you on from start to finish. Rappelling next to a gorgeous waterfall is one for the memory book! Dropping into a chilly pond below was epic! From that point on, until you change into dry clothes after the tour, you're soaked. But really didn't have a problem with that. The 3rd rappel is another waterfall - albeit "shorter" at 33 feet. BUT, you can actually rappel IN the waterfall. Super cool. Another short drop into another chilly pond. Then some photo ops in front of said waterfall and then it's back up to the beginning. After the legs are jelly from being nervous rappelling down the waterfalls it seems like a long hike but we took breaks for Shauna to share about some surrounding flora, which was super cool. Back at the start of the tour, we unloaded our gear, had some much needed water and snacks and were able to finish up our tour cracking jokes and relaxing. Overall, this tour is a MUST-DO on Maui. Worth every minute and every dollar. Tip your guides because they love what they do and earn every dollar they get. Elena and Shauna - thank you thank you thank you for such a memorable time! read more

I went in with low expectations and was blown away. The rappelling was incredible and the guides (Shauna and Elena) were not only experts but incredibly helpful and fun. You're literally in the most incredible location with private waterfalls swimming in the pools after completing each rappel. Highly recommend! We will be back. read more

OMG! Never would I imagine my whole family (and my wife would approve) rappelling down a 55-foot waterfall! But our guides Ropheka and Elena made the whole experience one of our best family vacation memories. And we rappelled down not only one, but two waterfalls!! This is a once in a lifetime experience - super fun, safe, and you practically have the waterfalls all to yourself for photo ops as we were told that only Rappel Maui has access to the waterfalls. read more

An absolutely excellent experience. My wife, 2 kids 12 and 14, and I went on this tour this week and we had Elena and Jonas as our guides. They were absolutely fantastic. My wife was very nervous about rappelling and had never done it before. They were extremely calm and talked us through everything that we needed to do to rappel. We were inexperienced and they were great at explaining and giving us tips to help. They both worked together very well to make sure that we were safe and not to mention they were such nice people. The waterfalls were beautiful and so cool to be able to rappel down them. In fact the second waterfall they even let us choose a drier way down or to rappel into the waterfall which was great to have the choice. If you are brave I recommend the wetter way down but watch your steps. It's a beautiful place to get to do this fun activity. We were lucky that it was a beautiful day as well. This was a very memorable experience and can't wait to tell all our family about it and tell them to go! read more

This might be the very best adventure on Maui hands down. Our instructors, Naomi and Shauna were absolutely amazing. Their approach to teaching us how to replel allowed us to learn and put our fears away. You will repel down a 50 foot practice run and then repel into 3 waterfalls from about 8 feet. All the while, Shauna and Naomi are right with you. This has to be on your bucket list to do. Talk about a rush. And, we are not young. We are in our 70's and completed the course like pros. read more

This is a MUST DO FOR ADVENTUROUS FAMILIES!!! You've read the other reviews so I'd just like to add that Travis and Josh were awesome. The drive was smooth and we learned a lot about Hawaii and Maui on the drive. Once we arrived to the property we decided to eat lunch and explore the property for a few minutes while the guides got our gear ready. After the training, we all felt confident and safe at all times. I have to say that repelling down the 2 waterfalls was ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS WE HAVE EVER DONE AS A FAMILY. I can't say enough about how much fun it was. We also hired the professional photographer and he was well worth the money. We got some awesome photos to remember the day. If you're looking for things to do while in Maui, this is the one to book! read more

Amazing experience, truly life changing! Ropheka & Shauna we're amazing guides!! They taught everything in a calm concise way and helped me overcome my initial fear. They also added light humor & some education on the land and Hawaiian history. The waterfalls were so beautiful and it was the next level of connecting with nature by rappelling down. Can't wait to do this again when back in Maui! read more

This is long overdue. My family had the time of our lives. Funny to hear how proud our 13 and 15 year old were to see their parents rappel down waterfalls like we had done it before. It was all because our instructors Alba and Rophena were FANTASTIC. You know someone loves their job when they come in on their birthday!!! Thank you both for everything. The best part of our trip by far. It was surreal to look over at the waterfall as you are heading down. I am thrilled that we found you. Love the Clayton Clan read more

My now fiancee was shocked and over the moon with the private tour and me popping the question after the first big waterfall! I am so happy everything went soooo well and it is all due to this incredible team. A hugeeee thank you to Chris, Naomi, and Ropheka for such an amazing milestone and event in our lives! I would highly recommend this tour, it is MAGICAL! read more

Rappel Maui - Tours Near Me - Haiku, Hawaii

I've always wanted to rappel that I couldn't miss out on an opportunity in Maui. My husband and I loved it, and it was one of my favorite activities during our trip. We were picked up at the Park and Ride at the corner of 30 and 310 highway on North Kihea Rd. Then, it's about an hour drive to The Garden of Eden on the Hana Highway. Our tour guides, Rich and Matthew, were nice and professional. Safety is their number one concern that they do not offer photo packages like other outdoor activities. They provide thorough and clear instructions of rappelling basics and safety. They can easily pinpoint how you can improve for the next rappel. Don't forget to bring cash to tip the guides afterwards. Our tour had 8 people and included 3 rappels ranging around 50-110 feet. I was nervous and sacred at first. It was challenging to get used to the stance and leaning back with your body weight. Luckily, the first rappel was good to practice since it wasn't too steep. Because of the on and off rainy conditions, we did not actually rappel down a waterfall, which didn't bother me because the second and third rappels were muddy and a little slippery. So expect to get a little dirty and wet. Between rappels, you will do a little hiking, which is like go up muddy stairs. The last rappel one was the scariest at first sight but less intimidating and fun once I started going down with ease. It ends in the water and the view of a waterfall, which others rarely see since it's not a public Hana Highway spot. Because of the wet conditions and beautiful rainforest landscape, there are mosquitos around. Although they provided bug spray, I unfortunately got a few bites. After the three rappels, we had our lunch. Bring a waterproof camera or place your phone in a waterproof pouch. They offer a backpack and waterproof container for your belongings. They provide you with a vest, helmet, harness, and water shoes. There are restrooms on the site if you want to change afterwards. Rappel Maui is a unique experience, which seems to be newer activity/company on Maui. I highly recommended it. read more
