Imagine rappelling down waterfalls in a private rainforest valley on the famed Road to Hana. What's rappelling? It's a popular adventure/gravity sport that includes a descent from a cliff or wall using anchored ropes. Under supervision and instruction from expert guides, you’ll use professional equipment to descend into nature in the Maui location featured in the movie Jurassic Park. Great for active families, couples, groups and solo travelers with an appreciation for dynamic outdoor excursions. Minimum age of 10; minimum weight of 70 lbs., maximum weight of 250 lbs., and waist measurement between 22 and 48 inches. All gear (including shoes) provided. RAIN or SHINE: We go to the rainforest. Waterfalls are naturally occurring phenomena changing rapidly at any time. When the streams flood due to rain and the falls are roaring or swollen, and we cannot safely rappel one or both waterfalls, we rappel 40- to 115-foot drops from jungle cliffsides at a safe distance from the water course.
Rappel Maui Waterfalls and Rainforest Cliffs lasts about 3 hours.

Shauna and Alba were incredible hosts through the rainforest and great rappelling teachers! We went with my husband, my twin 18 year old boys and me. It was a great adventure and something we’d never done before. Highly recommend!!
This was hands-down one of the best experiences of our trip! We rappelled into a ravine and then down two waterfalls in the rainforest along the Road to Hana. It was such a cool and unique way to experience Maui. It was the perfect combination of adventure and challenge while still feeling safe the entire time. Everyone in our family had a blast! Our guides, Mikaela and Shauna, were awesome—full of energy, incredibly knowledgeable and just fun to spend the morning with. They made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident while still keeping it exciting. We also loved the eco-tour through the rainforest at the end. It was an unexpected bonus and really fun and interesting. Definitely time and money well spent and one of the highlights of our Maui trip. Highly recommend!
Mahalo nui loa for sharing your wonderful review! It sounds like you embraced every part of the adventure! We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Mikaela and Shauna—they’ll be so happy to hear you had such a blast with us. Mahalo for choosing Rappel Maui and for recommending us. We hope to see your family back on Maui for another adventure someday!
Most adrenaline rush I have ever had!!! Such a unique experience to complete on Maui. Alba and Deacon was awesome guides and made me feel so comfortable and confident competing rappelling near waterfall!
"Best adrenaline rush!!" We are thrilled you loved it so much and you took the time to leave a 5 star review. We hope you will join us again Troy!
My family of four went rappelling with Rappel Maui today, and it was great. There were three rappel’s, two of them over waterfalls and one with significant height. We previously went rappelling in Costa Rica but this was more challenging as the guides gave us more control over our descent and coached us along the way… but we’re still 100% committed to our safety. It was fun for all including my youngest son who is twelve (although he is the adventurous type). We also got to swim and hike along the way, which filled out the experience. Our guides, Alba and Deacon, were excellent. Would highly recommend this as an adventure excursion when in Maui.
Mahalo nui loa for joining us and sharing your experience. We love getting to share the adventure with families and are thrilled that you would highly recommed us! We hope you will join us for another adventure soon!
Oh my gosh. It's been a while since I've written a TripAdvisor review but this one feels necessary. We went as a family of 4 (two adults, kids ages 11 and 13), after deciding this would be more unique than another zipline excursion. And it really was. Just seeing these big flowing waterfalls would have been cool, but wow, the experience of rapelling down them was top notch. I was a little scared but the guides made us feel safe and coached technique to help. Swimming in the pools at the bottom of the waterfalls was exhilerating. The guides (Shauna and Alba) were also wonderful at pointing out plant life, letting us taste things as we hiked out, and generally just being awesome women. Would not hesitate to recommend this tour if you've got an adventurous crew and are looking for something to do beyond the snorkeling and ziplining and horseback riding that you can do on so many other islands!
Aloha, Mahalo nui loa for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! We're honored that you chose to experience Rappel Maui as a family and that it was such a highlight! We're thrilled to hear that Shauna and Alba helped you feel safe, confident, and supported every step of the way. We'll be sure to share your kind words with them—they'll be so happy to know they made such a lasting impression! We love sharing this beautiful corner of Maui and creating experiences that guests will remember long after their vacation. Thank you again for your recommendation. We hope to welcome your adventurous family back for another rappel the next time you're on Maui! Mahalo, The Rappel Maui Team
My wife and I both did the repel Maui and we had a great time. Our instructors Albat and Deacon were amazing. They were great teachers and made it so much fun and made sure we were safe the entire time and give us the most out of the Experience.
Alba & Deacon will be thrilled to hear you had such an amazing time with them! Mahalo nui loa for the 5 star review. We hope to adventure with you both again!
This was the highlight of our trip to Maui! We have two kids, 13 & 15, and they absolutely loved it as well! It was a bit scary at first, but Elena and Deacon did a thorough job of explaining everything from start to finish. It was fun going down the waterfalls and refreshing jumping into the water at the base. If you are traveling to Maui (or traveling the road to Hana) I highly recommend this!!
Mahalo nui loa for the 5 star review! You can be certain you are in good hands when facing the thrill and adventure with Elena and Deacon. It is always a highlight to hear our guests tell us that our tour was the highlight of their Maui trip! We hope you will join us again!
If you’re looking for a real adventure, this is it! This is not a casual sightseeing excursion—it’s a legitimate rappelling experience. You complete three rappels total, including two down waterfalls. I do wish they had done a better job preparing us at the beginning for what to expect. At the end of both waterfall rappels, you actually let go of the rope and drop into the water below. I’m a pretty adventurous person, and even I was a little nervous! One disappointment was that there wasn’t a photographer on our tour day. We were really looking forward to having professional photos of such a unique experience. Also, be prepared for the hike back up after the rappels. It’s definitely a workout, and a few people in our group needed to stop and catch their breath several times. Our guides were nice and kept everyone safe, but I think a more thorough orientation would have made the experience even better. One important tip: download your entry pass before arriving at the botanical gardens. There is virtually no cell service or internet, and they almost charged us an additional $20 per person because we couldn’t pull up our reservation. Overall, it was an adventure and something I’m glad I did. Just come prepared, know what you’re signing up for, and you’ll have an amazing experience!
Mahalo for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and honest review! We love that you described out tour as a *real* adventure—because that's exactly what we strive to provide! Rappel Maui isn't your average tour and while we love introducing first-time adventurers to the thrill of waterfall rappelling, we also appreciate your feedback about our orientation. Helping guests know what to expect beforehand can make those exciting moments feel even more rewarding, and we'll be sharing your comments with our guide team. And as for that "trust fall" into the pools at the end of the waterfalls—we like to think it's the most refreshing finish line in Maui! And yes... the hike back out definitely earns you those post-adventure snacks! We like to joke that the climb is just nature's way of making you appreciate the waterfalls even more. Thank you as well for mentioning the Garden of Eden entry pass. That's a fantastic tip for future guests, and we couldn't agree more—downloading it before arriving makes check-in much smoother since cell service is very limited along the Hana Highway. All of that info is in the e-mail we send out when your reservation is made. While we don't have a photographer on staff at this time, we absolutely encourage guests to capture their own adventure! You're welcome to bring your phone (we provide a dry canteen and backpack to carry). We even have GoPro helmet mounts available for guests to borrow. It's a fun way to relive the experience and share your adventure! We're so glad you stepped outside your comfort zone and are happy you chose to adventure with us. We hope to welcome you back for another rappel someday! Mahalo, The Rappel Maui Team
Everyone there was very nice. The place we did the repelling (Garden of Eden) was beautiful and the food truck they had there had delicious food. Would do again!
We love the food truck on location here! You can't go wrong with "Savor Maui". Thank you for the 5 star review of our tour and we cant wait to have you back!
Super thrilling experience! Alba and Shauna helped me not be so scared knowing we were in safe hands! Once in a lifetime experience for sure.
Way to face those fears and embrace the adventure! We are thrilled you had such a great time. Mahalo for the 5 star review!
