Hike Maui

Hike Maui is the oldest adventure/eco land tour on Maui. Begun in 1983, our guides are all trained naturalists who weave geology, botany, ethnobotany and history in amongst the fun of hiking. Their stories are inspiring and fascinating, and you can read about them at www.hikemaui.com/guides.html. We intend to introduce you to the natural beauty of Maui; teach you the history and workings of nature; guide you safely into pristine and breath-taking environments; and share with you the uplifting energy of this island in a way that expands awareness, increases well-being and instills a sense of wonder and awe at the workings of nature. Please see our web site at www.hikemaui.com for a more complete description of our program, slide shows and more pictures as well as biographies of our guides.

ACTIVITIES:

Afternoon Waterfall Walk

On the north side of Maui tour a rain forest valley of pools and waterfalls. Hike one mile (round trip) to two pools and waterfalls of 10 and 20 feet high. It's a fun spot to play, a beautiful place to visit. Swimming is optional, but it's terrific fun to swim under the waterfalls or climb a banyan tree and jump into a deep pool. The rain forest can be dark and mysterious; the pools sunny and refreshing.

Waterfalls & Rain Forest Hiking Adventure (A)

It's unusual for a rain forest valley to have this many waterfalls close together, so this is a popular spot on Maui's famous Hana Highway. But, since we know the owners well, we're the only tour company allowed in the valley. We hike 2.5 miles round trip to four or five waterfalls from 10 to 40 feet high. Great waterfalls, big, clear swimming pools, terrific bamboo and tropical rain forests, fresh-water streams. You may even jump off rock cliffs into the pools. It's fun and it's beautiful. And the waterfalls can't be beat.

- 2.5 miles round trip
- moderate for some; easy for most
- very popular valley on famous Hana Highway
- five waterfalls 10 to 40 feet high
- rope swinging into two pools

Ultimate Hana Full-Day Adventure Tour

Maui's ultimate waterfall wonderland--the pristine Kipahulu Valley, an area still described as Old Hawai'i. We hike 4.5-miles (round trip) along national park trails following the most beautiful stream on Maui. It's hard to say which is the most heart stopping: the 200-foot waterfall seen from a spectacular lookout or the 400-foot falls at the end of the trail. Or it could be the break in the greenery where the rain forest becomes a giant forest of solid bamboo. There is nothing like a dark hike through dense bamboo. The whole place is so spectacular it should be a national park. And it is.

>>> SUMMARY <<<<
- a narrated, two-an-a-half-hour drive on the Hana Highway
- 4.5 mile hike in the national park on park service trails
- 'Ohe'o Gulch - some of Maui's most magnificent streams

- acres of towering bamboo
- huge rain forest of tropical plants and trees

Haleakala Crater Hiking Experience

Grandeur, majesty, vastness. Haleakala's energy is intense and ethereal, and it's absolutely silent. We'd never visit Maui without experiencing the Crater. It's where our guides go for inspiration. A great amphitheater of silence and expansiveness. A place of beauty that always evokes awe. The four-mile trip is a good Crater sampler -- we hike through three very different environments with views stretching for more than a hundred miles in all directions. We hike two miles at the 8,000-foot level through native alpine scrub forest on a lava rock trail where most of the plants are rare, endemic species. We then hike another two miles at 10,000 feet along a sandy cinder path called Sliding Sands Trail, a route famous for its panorama of giant cinder cones, each one colored in the rose-orange-tan hues of the desert. An extra for those interested in endemic birds: we can do a half-mile loop trail at 7,000 feet through Hosmer Grove, a temperate dry-land cloud forest.

>>> SUMMARY <<<
- Haleakala means House of the Sun
- It is Maui's most famous volcano (dormant)
- hike two miles at the 8,000-ft. level
- hike two miles at the 10,000-ft. summit
- experience three different environments
- an aerobic hike with about 1000 feet of elevation change round-trip
- experience a high alpine desert
- for birders: rare endemic birds at 7,000 feet
