About this tour
Trade Maui’s ridge-top panoramas for a refreshing dip on this private Maui Ridge and Waterslides Hike. The 270-minute outing begins with a steep, 4.5-mile round-trip climb into the clouds, where views stretch across the lush Waiheʻe Valley, Haleakalā, the ocean, and a distant waterfall. The trail can be slippery on the descent, so sturdy hiking shoes with good traction are essential.
After the climb, a short hike leads to hidden natural waterfall slide pools. Cool off with a swim, jump into the water, or explore the pools by climbing around. Private transportation, bottled water, light snacks, trekking poles, and basic supplies are provided to support your day outdoors. Meet at Kahului Park & Ride; hotel pickup is not available for this half-day hike.
With a demanding ridge walk and a playful waterside finish, this Maui Ridge and Waterslides Hike pairs big island views with a chance to cool down. Bring your hiking shoes and get ready to experience two contrasting sides of Maui.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- 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. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
