Hike Maui
Hike Maui, a naturalist-lead guided tour company, offers day hikes ranging from easy to strenuous skill level. The tour includes not only a guided hike, but also transportation to the trails, outfitting and a lunch made up of deli sandwiches and fresh fruits right from the island. For children who aren't old enough to handle a full-day hike, "short hikes" and half-day hikes are also available. Families can choose between waterfall and rain forest hikes or a hike around the Haleakala Crater. Hike Maui also offers a combination hike, where hikers kayak for two and a half hours before stopping for lunch and continuing on to a three-hour waterfalls and rain forest hike.
