Waterfall Rappel Adventure On Maui Features
Descend Jungle Cliffs And Flowing Waterfalls
Gear up for an exhilarating journey into Maui’s rainforest, where steep volcanic cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and lush vegetation create a dramatic natural setting. The adventure includes three rappels: a dry practice rappel to help you become comfortable with the technique, followed by two waterfall descents when conditions permit. Instead of simply viewing Maui’s waterfalls from a lookout, you’ll experience them from within the canyon itself.
Learn Rappelling With Experienced Guides
No previous climbing or rappelling experience is required. Your guides provide instruction and support throughout the experience, helping you understand how to use the rope, harness, and braking system before beginning the descents. Groups are kept small, with the Classic tour typically accommodating 4–8 guests, while two guides are assigned to each group to provide close attention and maintain a strong focus on safety.
Explore A Hidden Side Of Maui’s Rainforest
Travel into the Puohokamoa Valley, approximately halfway between Kahului and Hana, and discover a side of Maui that most visitors never see. After completing the rappels, follow a maintained rainforest trail approximately 300 vertical feet back to the top, surrounded by the cool forest canopy. Once back at the base area, change into dry clothes and relax with bottled water and post-tour snacks.
