About Hike Maui

• For the waterfall / rainforest hikes: Running shoes or sports sandals (like Tevas, Chacos or Keens).
• For the Four-mile Crater Hike: Running shoes are perfectly suitable. There’s no need to bring hiking boots unless you want to (they do take up a lot of suitcase space).
• Your shoes will likely get muddy, dirty, and/or wet on any of our hikes.

• Hikes vary in approximate length from 1 to 4.5 miles, depending on the specific tour you choose.
• Individual distances can be found in the tour descriptions.

• For the waterfall / rainforest hikes: Shorts and short-sleeved shirts or t-shirts are best. If mosquitoes really bother you (your guide carries repellent), you could wear long pants and a long-sleeved shirt. Also, you’ll want to wear your swimsuit so you can swim in the waterfall pools (optional).
• For the Four-mile Crater Hike: The weather is often cool or cold (the altitude is 10,000 feet); then it can warm up as you hike. So layered clothing is best, including a jacket, down vest, sweatshirt, or sweater. The sun can be quite intense, so you may want to bring a hat. Your guide will also carry extra jackets.

• Towel: Waterfall tours include swimming (optional)
• Reef-Safe Sunscreen (look for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide-based sunscreens): Helpful on any tour, but essential on the Haleakala Crater trip
• Camera & Phone: Please bring a Ziploc or a plastic bag to prevent any damage from moisture
• You are responsible for any personal equipment you choose to bring along

On some hikes there are toilets or porta potties at the trailhead. Once we’re hiking, though, we head for the bushes. If you’re uncomfortable using the bushes, please let your guide know before the hike begins so you can both decide what’s best for you.

We have eliminated person-to-person contact whenever possible on our tours. You can include a prepaid gratuity when you make your reservation, or call our office after your tour. Our guides also gratefully accept digital payments and, of course, cash. If you’re happy with your hike, a tip is always a good way to show your appreciation.

Hotel transfers are offered on several of our tours, subject to availability. For an additional fee, we’ll pick you up at your hotel and return you after the tour. Transportation is available from all major resort hotels and condominiums, but not private residences or in towns outside of our service area. Our vans are PUC certified, commercially insured, serviced regularly for high performance, air conditioned, and are cleaned and disinfected after every tour.

If you cancel 48 hours or more prior to the date of the event, you will receive a full refund less a 10% cancellation fee.  If you cancel within 48 hours for any reason, you will receive no refund.

With the uncertainty of COVID – 19, we have been more flexible with last minute emergencies, and may be able to offer a partial refund OR credit for a future booking if a cancellation falls within the 48-hour period. If you need to cancel or change your booking, please put the request in writing by emailing us at [email protected]
