Hike through East Maui rainforest, visit cascading waterfalls, swim beneath the falls, and enjoy lunch with a local naturalist guide.
About this tour
Follow Maui’s Hana Highway into a lush East Maui valley, where rainforest trails lead to a cluster of cascading waterfalls. This five-hour Maui Waterfall and Rainforest Hiking Adventure pairs a guided walk with time to enjoy the landscape at a relaxed pace.
A local naturalist guide leads the way through the greenery to several falls close together. Along the route, you can swim in pools beneath the cascades and climb columnar basalt formations for a safe jump into the water. A nutritious lunch and snacks are included, giving you time to refuel amid the scenery. The hike requires moderate fitness, and footwear should be ready for wet, muddy conditions. The tour operates in all weather, so dress accordingly.
Meet at the Park & Ride in Kahului, near the intersection of Highways 311 and 380. With a maximum of nine passengers per booking, this small-group Maui Waterfall and Rainforest Hiking Adventure offers a closer look at the island’s wild side. Lace up, bring your sense of adventure, and discover the waterfalls of East Maui.

How this score is calculated
This tour scores 4.93 on Viator and 4.87 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.
How the score works and rating distribution in Maui
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.0. Top 7% in Maui means it ranks in the top 7% of tours in Maui by this score.
