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.”

Review of Maui’s Road to Hana waterfall tour by Mercedes van, with black-sand beaches, local lunch, cultural stories, pickup details, and practical tips.

“We had an amazing experience on the Road to Hana thanks to our tour guide. Quinn was incredibly knowledgeable about Hawaiian history, culture, and local traditions, which really added depth and meaning to the journey. He was respectful, kind, and clearly passionate about sharing the island in an authentic way. Everything ran smoothly—he was on time, well organized, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the day. This tour felt both educational and enjoyable, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for Maui and Hawaiʻi. Highly recommend!”

Ride through West Maui’s mountain trails to ocean views, with gentle horses, expert guides, seasonal waterfalls, and a chance to canter.

“We signed up for the horseback tour but they were short a tour guide so we were given a chance to do an ATV tour. We had never ridden ATVs (my daughter and I. She is 25 I am 57). We were nervous, but there was no need to be. The guides took us on a test drive and were guiding us the whole way. We agreed this was such a fun way to spend our day!! Only warning is there was a lot of dust and dirt all over us afterwards. But it made our Maui trip so special to ride mountain trails, see sacred grounds and waterfalls nearby…”

A practical review of Maui’s Road to Hana tour, with black sand, waterfalls, turtles, small-group transport, guide tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Sitting in the back of the van, we could not hear the guide/driver throughout the tour. We asked about the mic volume but he indicated it could not be adjusted. No stop or mention of turtle tour. Black Sand Beach was definitely the highlight. Mixed emotions regarding a recommendation. Maybe a different guide/driver. He indicated that he was filling in for the guide/driver.”

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!”

“Wow, where do I even begin? Our waterfall rappelling tour with these three amazing ladies was, without a doubt, the highlight of our entire trip to Maui! From start to finish, they made the entire experience so much fun, while making sure we felt safe and prepared every step of the way. They kicked things off with a thorough but fun safety briefing—not a boring, long-winded seminar at all! They kept things lighthearted and engaging, making sure we understood how to use all the equipment without ever feeling overwhelmed. You could tell right away that they were experts, but they were so approachable and down-to-earth. It felt more like hanging…”

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…”
