Maui Hiking

Find the Maui Trail That Matches Your Day

Hiking on Maui can be as easygoing or as adventurous as you want it to be. You might spend a few hours following a rainforest trail to a waterfall, cool off with a swim, or head into a completely different landscape high inside Haleakala Crater where the air is thinner and the terrain feels almost otherworldly.

Hike Maui currently offers several different ways to experience the island on foot. Options include a 1-mile Waterfall Walk & Swim, a 2.5-mile Waterfall & Rainforest Hiking Adventure, the full-day Ultimate Hana Adventure in Kipahulu Valley, a kayak, snorkel, and waterfall combination tour, and a Haleakala Crater hike with trail time around 10,000 and 8,000 feet in elevation.

The best place to start is with how active you want the day to feel. Waterfall hikes are a nice choice if you want tropical scenery and time in the water, while Kipahulu gives you a longer, more involved adventure. Haleakala is a very different experience altogether, with cooler temperatures, higher elevation, and wide volcanic views.

Wear sturdy shoes with good grip, bring water, and pack a towel if swimming is part of the plan. Before booking, check the walking distance, elevation, pickup details, and physical requirements so you can choose a hike you will actually enjoy from start to finish.
