    Mahalo for joining us!

    Fantastic hike along the ridge

    Lara, Jan 2025
    Fantastic hike with an extremely knowledgeable guide. He shared details about the plants and area the entire trip. The hike itself is not too strenuous but there are some slippery spots.

    Response from Host, Jan 2025

    Thank you for your Review. We are glad you enjoyed the tour!

    Great hike

    The leader was very knowledgeable but you shouldn’t advertise snacks with the hike when all it consist of is a few pieces of a cut up pineapple

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

    Aloha. I’m glad you enjoyed your guide. Our apologies that you were not satisfied with our delicious Maui gold as an option for a bite at the end of the hike. If viator had the option of “light snack” we would likely have checked that box. As this is a fairly short hike just after breakfast and prior to lunch our intention isn’t to fill anyone’s bellies. We appreciate your feedback and strive to provide five star experiences so anything less is a learning lesson. Mahalo

    Great hike, amazing tour guide

    We are very happy to hear you enjoyed your time on the trail with Jason. That Maui Gold is the best in the world. Especially when it’s cut fresh, right in front of you! Aloha!

    Family friendly hike

    Our group included a 12 year old and a husband who doesn’t do much hiking and everyone had a great time. It was very educational and the hike was not strenuous. They thoughtfully provide walking sticks. Thank you to Jason, our amazing guide!

    All I can say is WOW!

    I've been to the island several times, and this hike was one of my favorite memories. Our guide Yancy was so incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the plant life and conservation efforts on Maui. My husband and I learned so much on the trail. During the hike we had incredible views you otherwise wouldn't get to see without the tour. There were lookouts where you saw valleys that were just so beautiful. There was also some amazing trees like a huge banyan in the forested area. I don't consider myself athletic, and I felt this hike was the perfect pace and distance. I recommend this hike to anyone interested in learning more about the island's botany and conservation and wanting a leisurely stroll in a beautiful setting.

    Great Interpretive Hike

    Jason was deeply passionate and knowledgeable and an absolute joy to converse with. Views from the lookouts were amazing.

    A unique and picturesque hike in Maui

    Kevin was a knowledgeable and entertaining host. A picturesque hike of mild difficulty. An interesting look at the various native and invasive species of plants of the region, and the conservation efforts underway.
