Another reason you came to Maui...to get into the tropical interior. Join us as we trek into a little known area. Our guide, Randy Warner has been hiking on Maui since 1981 and has been in business since 1994. Randy is an interesting and knowledgeable guide that can talk about the history of Hawaii as well as the flora and fauna. This is a great way to meet some new people! This is also the least expensive half-day hike in Maui! We'll either go to a Haleakala Waterfall hike (weather permitting) or a West Maui Waterfall hike.


 

 

WATERFALL HIKE:
The hike begins at an elevation of 500 feet and climbs past groves of guava, koa, eucalyptus and Java plum trees. As we ascend, we'll see mountain-apple, bamboo and ginger, as well as endemic Hawaiian vegetation, and pass by waterfalls up to 60 feet high. We'll follow a meandering stream whose music, along with the area's lush flora, enhances this fun-filled hike. Be sure to bring a bathing suit and towel for a swim in one of the four or five cool, clear waterfall pools we'll encounter along the trail.

WEST MAUI RAINFOREST HIKE:
Ascend into the center of a vast valley that plunges deep into the windward face of the West Maui Mountains. Rivers, fed by the mountain's lei of clouds, flank the valley's tableland and center spur, pouring perennially to the sea. Above the trail, canyon walls soar several thousand feet; waterfalls spill over them in long, glistening ribbons, carving natural amphitheatres over tens of thousands of years. And we explore, humbled by scale, on a trail that brings us to guava, Christmas berry, loquat, ginger, banana, eucalyptus, koa, mango and ohi'a lehua.
