Waterfall Hike and Kayak Snorkel & Paddle from Makena

This was a great sampling of all three activities. We were able to kayak in the ocean to two different snorkeling spots, snorkel and view sea turtles with Cody and then depart for a hike to two different waterfalls with Tim. Both guides were awesome! They were attentive and informative. You get just enough of each activity all in one day. Definitely worth it!

Tour guides were very friendly and highly knowledgeable about what we were doing as well as many interesting stories of the island. Justin was our kayak guide and had no problem teaching 1st timers how to kayak and snorkel off of the kayak. We swam with several sea turtles. It was amazing. Our hiking guide, Pasco, took us for our hike through Twin Falls. He had no problem jumping in the water and taking pictures for guests. He cut open fresh fruit to share with the group which was wonderful and shared many facts about the environment, plants, fruit and animals in the rain forest.

Our kayak guide was amazing. He swam with us and photographed our group with sea turtles and even brought us up 2 harmless urchins to touch and educated us with them. He of course quickly returned them to the reef.

Tyler took care of us today with checking off a bucket list item. We met at 7 and prepped to head out. From the onset, Tyler took care of every guest. He gave us dry bags to keep our valuables in, and checked every bag to make sure they sealed correctly. It's a little detail, but our whole experience today was filled with making sure the little details weren't overlooked. We padded out and the conditions were perfect. After a short paddle, we reached our snorkel location. Just wow... there were no less than 8 turtles! Once we got ready to leave, Tyler was there again to make sure we were able to get into the kayaks (not the easiest feat, but he made it easier) and get moving again. My wife was anxious about snorkeling after a few iffy experiences. Tyler took the time after everyone else was in the water to walk her through a few tips for her mask and snorkel and she set her apprehensions aside and had a great time! It was seriously an amazing experience from beginning to end. We'll definitely be back on the water with Kelii's when we come back to Maui.

The guides with Hike Maui were Awesome, and the kayak and snorkeling guide was top notch!! We had a great time, saw turtles, dolphins, and alot if fish!! The guides hiking, did an awesome job too, telling us everything that's was in the rainforest!! Plants that were edible, flowers, fruits, and of course several waterfalls, Great job guys!!

I hadn’t snorkeled in years and was very nervous. Jeremiah was very patient and kind. He helped me on and off the kayak, got me in the water and gave good instructions. Minutes later I was swimming with the turtles. I never could have done this without his help! The whole group had a great time. I would highly recommend this tour.

Overall comment is that both the kayak ride and the hike were on the short side. Would have enjoyed longer. Unusual event happened after the hike, a rapidly spreading brush fire prevented our hike guide and driver Eddie from getting us back to our cars as the roads were closed. He really went above and beyond by delivering us all to our hotels/time shares. Had to go the next day by bus the long journey to collect the car, but without Eddie we would have been stranded.

The kayak guide, Jeremiah, was gruff and liked to talk too much about himself. The hiking portion of the tour can be done yourself for free. Definately a waste of time and money.

<p>The waterfall hike was fabulous. Dawn provided a lot of detail about local plants, history, and showed us some amazing spots. A great time was had by all!</p>

<p>Viator was a problem; the tour was good. We did not know where we were going and did not know what to bring. The hike ends with a walk through a knee-deep stream with a rocky bottom. We did not know what footwear to bring and cut our feet. <br/> Do not use Viator. Contact the activity provider.</p>
