Experience The Real Hawaii!
Tour Overview
Do Go Chasing Waterfalls! Our most popular hike is situated in the mesmerizing Ho’olawa Valley. Journey into the rainforest to three to five dazzling waterfalls ranging in height from 10 to 40 feet and that flow into large natural swimming pools. Along the way, learn about Maui’s plants and animals from your naturalist guide. End your day with a “shower” under a picture-perfect waterfall.

Additional Information
What if it rains?
We’ve found that a little rain adds to the adventure and complimentary ponchos are available if needed. Plus, swimming under a waterfall in the rain is an unforgettable experience. We do run our tours in most weather conditions but reserve the right to alter tour parameters if safety issues arise.
Will there be a bathroom on the trail?
There are toilets or porta potties at the trailhead for some hikes. But once we begin hiking, we head for the bushes when nature calls. If you’re uncomfortable with this arrangement, please let your guide know before the hike begins so you can both decide what’s best for you.
Do you provide hotel transfers?
Hotel transfers are offered on several of our tours, subject to availability. For an additional fee, we’ll pick you up at your hotel and return you after the tour. Transportation is available from all major resort hotels and condominiums, but not private residences or in towns outside of our service area. Our vans are PUC certified, commercially insured, serviced regularly for high performance, are air conditioned and are cleaned and disinfected after every tour
