Discover the natural beauty hidden just off Hawaii’s famed Hana Highway on a waterfalls and rainforest hike in East Maui. The 5-hour excursion takes you deep into one of Hawaii’s most popular valleys, where several waterfalls tumble within a short distance of one another. On this relaxed hike, take a dip into the pools located beneath the falls, clamor up columnar basalt rock formations to jump safely into the water, and enjoy a healthy lunch.

Wonderful experience
We had the best time on our Hike Maui Rainforest and Waterfall tour. Our guide Dave (Australian Dave) was so informative and great with my 9yo daughter (the only kid in our group). We were the only group at the first two falls we visited which just made it so special. Tried som strawberry guava and pineapple guava straight from the trees along the way. Just an absolute perfect and fun day! Thanks Dave and Hike Maui!

A unique and fun experience
This trip was so much fun! Our guide, Momo, was so knowledgeable about the area, plants, flowers, fruits, etc. She made sure we had a safe time packing in as much as we could for our adventure, and let us sample things she foraged for us. Highly recommend!

Must do Maui Experience
A must do ,to fully experience the beauty of Maui. Brian stopped several times along the way educating us on various beautiful plants and culture very informative and he was very entertaining as well. The hike was moderate , not strenuous and the waterfalls and pools to swim in were breathtaking. Lunch was thoughtful and delicious and the pace was very comfortable.

Waterfall experience
Our guide was Brian. He was very thorough on what to expect during this hike. As the tour progressed he was able to show us many plants and even gave us some samples of fruit right off the trees. He shared a wealth of information. The waterfall was the highlight of the tour. We highly recommend this tour!
Operator response
Thank you for the wonderful recommendation! Brian’s knowledge and enthusiasm add so much to the Hike Maui experience, and we’re glad you enjoyed discovering Maui’s incredible natural surroundings along the way. Nothing quite tops ending a great trail with a beautiful waterfall! We hope to welcome you back for another Hike Maui adventure.

Stellar hike experience
I cannot begin to say how fantastic this experience was with HikeMaui, and more specifically how fantastic Momo was as a guide. There wasn’t a moment that our group wasn’t learning about some flowers, the trees, the water, or the culture. The knowledge that she shared with us about every piece of the island was beyond impressive, it truly felt as if she had an answer to any question that could have been thrown at her. And more so, her genuine kindness that she possesses is out of this world. From jumping straight into the water to retrieve a lost phone the moment she was aware of it, to holding a young girls hand almost the whole trek, to extending a hand and a good tip or trick to everyone at every difficult crossing or climb, the stellar human that she is just truly couldn’t be ignored. If there was anyone who could bring the mana out of Hawaii and truly solidify my groups love and respect for Maui, it was absolutely her. Thank you Momo for being such a lasting part of our time on your beautiful island. 12/10 will recommend this hike to anyone I know coming your way.
Operator response
Thank you for such a thoughtful review! Momo brings an incredible combination of knowledge, kindness, and genuine care to every Hike Maui adventure, and we’re so glad that came through so strongly for your group. We’ll be sure she sees your wonderful words—12/10 is a pretty amazing compliment!

The Perfect Mix!
We had the most wonderful experience hiking the rainforest with Mirna/Hike Maui! It was the perfect mix of hiking the trail, stopping for swimming, and learning about our surroundings. Our guide Mirna was fantastic. She was so helpful, knowledgeable, and patient and she led us at the perfect pace. We got to learn a bit about the plants and flowers around us, took in the beauty of the rainforest, and stopped and swam (and did some cliff jumping!) at beautiful waterfalls. The van we drove in was clean and comfortable and the supplies Hike Maui provided were great. This hike was a hit with the whole family, which includes two teenagers. When does that happen?? :) Hike Maui and Mirna get our highest recommendation!
Operator response
Thank you for the wonderful recommendation! Mirna has a great way of balancing adventure, learning, and plenty of fun while making sure everyone feels comfortable along the way. We’re especially happy your Hike Maui adventure was a hit with the whole family—teenager approval is no small victory! 😊
