Hike Maui is a guide-operated outdoor adventure company on the island of Maui that specializes in waterfall hikes, rainforest treks, kayak and snorkel combo tours, and full-day excursions. The operator runs a range of guided experiences including 3-hour Morning and Afternoon Waterfall Walks, 5-hour Waterfall & Rainforest Hiking Adventures (with central Maui meeting or hotel transfers), 5–6 hour private group hikes, the Ultimate Hana Full-Day Adventure with a 4.5-mile hike, the 7.5-hour Kayak, Snorkel & Waterfall Combo, and the 7-hour Haleakala Crater Hiking Experience.
Trips typically visit three to five waterfalls with opportunities to swim in freshwater pools, jump from volcanic ledges, and enjoy nutritious lunches while learning about local ecology from expert guides. The Pa’ia Town & Waterfall Hike pairs coastal sightseeing and boutique shopping with a rainforest trek and sightings of sea turtles at Ho’okipa Beach Park. The Haleakala Crater Hiking Experience explores contrasting high-elevation environments near 8,000 and 10,000 feet and highlights native plants and expansive views. Family-friendly options include shorter walks with optional swimming and safe cannonball jumps. Several departures include West Maui and South Maui hotel transfers or meet in Central Maui; private-group bookings are available for customized itineraries. Hike Maui conducts all activities on Maui Island with an emphasis on safety, local knowledge, and respectful enjoyment of natural resources.
