Maui Haleakala: 6-Line Zipline Adventure & Forest HikeYou’ll clip in for six fast zipline runs along Haleakala’s slopes, cross wooden bridges over forest canyons, and catch eucalyptus scents drifting through the air. With a local guide leading every step and all gear included, expect laughter, nerves, and moments where Maui’s wild side feels close enough to touch.
Maui: Waterfall Hike, Rainforest Walk & Chocolate Tasting TourYou’ll hike through Maui’s lush rainforest with a local guide, see Hawaii’s first Road to Hana waterfall up close, walk ancient royal trails among giant ferns, and taste artisan chocolates straight from the source. Expect muddy shoes, hands-on chocolate making, and real stories woven into every stop—a day that lingers long after you leave.
Rappel Maui Waterfalls: 3-Hour Rainforest DescentRappel down waterfalls and rainforest cliffs in a private canyon on Maui's Road to Hana over three hours, using anchored ropes and professional equipment under expert instruction. All gear, including shoes, is provided; the guide adjusts the route if water levels rise, pivoting to 40- to 115-foot cliffsides instead. Minimum age is 10, and participants must weigh between 70 and 250 lbs with a waist measurement between 22 and 48 inches. The activity runs rain or shine, and you'll hike through streams, walk natural trails and swim in freshwater pools.Is it for me?Book an early departure if you want to maximize daylight in the canyon and avoid afternoon rain buildup; the 1:00 PM slot works better if you're staying on the Road to Hana and want to combine this with other stops nearby. Either way, the guide's real-time calls about water safety and route changes mean you're always descending where it's safe, not fighting the weather.
Maui Waterfall Hike with Optional Cliff JumpingA jungle waterfall adventure on Maui where you hike through bamboo forest, visit multiple waterfalls and choose whether to cliff jump, swim or simply soak in the pools. The experience runs about three and a half hours with a local guide leading groups of up to four people, or combining smaller groups; go pro photography and videography are included, and the hike suits mild to moderate fitness levels.Is it for me?Book this if you have a free half-day on Maui and want to move through water and jungle instead of sitting still—the guide handles the route and the camera, so you just show up and decide how deep to go at each waterfall.
Haleakala Crater Hiking: 4-Mile Lava Trail on MauiA 7-hour guided hike on Maui's Haleakala Crater covers two separate trails: Sliding Sands descends from the 10,023-foot summit, and Halemau'u starts lower at 8,000 feet, both crossing lava and native plants at extreme elevation. A local guide leads groups of up to nine, with snacks and lunch provided; the hike suits travelers with moderate fitness who are at least 8 years old. Minimum group size is four passengers; weather does not cancel the activity.Is it for me?The hike starts at Haleakala's summit, which sits at 10,000 feet — you'll need a ride there or a rental car, since public transit does not reach the trailhead. If you're staying on Maui without a vehicle, arrange your own transport or book a separate shuttle; the guide meets you at the summit and leads from there. The two-trail format lets you choose how much climbing you want: Sliding Sands is steeper and higher, while Halemau'u is a gentler option if you want to conserve energy for the return.
