The 11 Best Hikes on Maui

1.Small Group Waterfall and Rainforest Hiking Adventure on Maui

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,417 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $187Our pick

Hike East Maui through rainforest, waterfalls, streams, and natural pools with a local guide, lunch, snacks, and optional cliff jumps.

“Our tour guide P.T. was amazing he took us to 4 beautiful waterfalls and they had all fun jumping spots ranging from 5 feet up to 20 feet. We got to taste some delicious fruits in the rainforest and really got a great education on the local plants and fruits. Waterfall jumps will give you a huge dose of adrenaline. It’s well worth the money and East Maui is so different from West Maui so if you enjoy hiking and nature this is the best tour to do in Maui.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 518 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $229

Hike Maui’s East Maui rainforest to several waterfalls, swim in a secluded pool, and enjoy lunch with a small group and local guide.

“This is a must for travelers to Maui! Swimming in waterfalls, diving into waterfalls, a great hike through a rainforest, and all activities are private, so not a million people! Hike Maui is the best and have access to private property at really special places and it’s also a botanical garden and farm! There’s pineapples, passion fruit, cacao, and lots of edible plants. Our guide, Jacob, is very knowledgeable about the botany, geology and history of Hawaii, so kind and considerate also. Loved his Kamehameha story! Also gave us some tips about local restaurants and activities we could do to learn more about beautiful Maui!”

Review of Maui’s private Road to Hana Jeep tour, with waterfalls, bamboo forest hikes, black sand beaches, local food, and guide Alec.

“Alec, our guide, was awesome! He was very friendly and courteous. He has been doing this drive for 30 years, so not only was he knowledgable about the drive and the sites we would see, but also knew a lot of the history of that part of the island. He knew of sites and waterfalls that most people miss because they are driving. Beside all the incredible waterfalls, we saw a black beach, a quaint little church, and amazing flowers, plants, and trees. He personally knew the shop owners along the way and we were treated to fresh, warm banana bread, very fresh pineapple and a great lunch. We would…”
